Antiques >Hillsboro Antique Mall
1025 E Hillsboro Blvd, Deerfield Beach, FL | Directions 3344126.317807 -80.089488
They have moved to Pompano – Just a note to all antique lovers. They are no longer on Hillsboro Blvd. They are now located adjacent to the Festival Flea Market on Sample Rd. in Pompano Beach
Best Antique Mall Ever! – I've been to this new antique mall about four times and I can't get enough of it! I have found many antique records that I have been looking for that I have not found anywhere else. I found an engagement ring for my soon to be wife and I am planning to be visiting the mall again very soon. Absolutely great staff and the mall is organized very well
Awesome Antique Mall – Recently visited the Hillsboro Antique Mall and it was beyond my expectations. The staff was helpful and knowledgable. Thought the deerfield location was good but this beats every mall i've ever been in, it's worth the trip and I am planning on visting often. Can't wait for their cafe to open!
Great new mall! – The mall just moved to the Festival Flea Market in Pompano. They have their own FREE vallet parking which was quite convenient considering how crowded the parking lot was. The mall really has everything in every price range. I collect perfume bottles and they have a few dealers that had a nice selection. The sales staff is plentiful and very helpful. They held my purchases and cubbies at the front desk and all my items were waiting for me when i was finished shopping! I really like the new location. It's bright and airy and has a great vibe. I plan to shop there regularly and it is definitely worth the trip!
Ugh! – Help not available when needed to show things out of locked showcases. The owners are the nastiest most unprofessional, rude, business people ever encountered.
Merchandise looks better here than at old location, however, mostly way overpriced.
Incongruent setting for an "upscale" antique mall to be in such a low class flea market environment.
"Free" valet parking attended by only one tired looking, unenthusiastic guy - not adequate service.
Great Old Clocks & Darling Antique Hankercheifs – Oh, what a great new location, Hillsboro Antique mail has moved to the Festival Flea Market, with new and exciting antique dealers. I was looking at a great enamel Gublin Clock with a matching enamel mantle an 8 day clock, you don't see those anymore, and to make it even greater my wife was looking at all these great Christmas Hankies right across the aisle so she was happy because she collects antique children's hankies and I was happy looking at all these great clocks right across the aisle. Renee was so helpful going out of her way to show me other Antique dealers that had Antique clocks, I saw a Le Coultre Atmos and other great French carriage clocks but best of all my wife got so excited buying all her hankies, she never see's them anymore and we were so happy we stopped by. We used to go to the other one on Hillsboro Blvd but it was so dark and small you could not see to good but this new location is fantastic bright lights wide aisles pretty showcases, Boy did they make the right move. We will be back.
Caution !!!!!!!! – After specifically asking them to wrap everything separately, once I got my purchase home one piece was broken. You would think that they would take more caution when wrapping purchases. I know if I brought it back they would say it was may fault. Make sure you Watch them pack your purchase and INSIST they don't skimp on the wrapping.

GNU Compiler Collection 4.2
The latest GNU compiler provides better support for parallel programming, and GCC also rolls out some new optimization features. We took GCC 4.2 for a test drive.
After much debate and the usual delays, the latest version of the GNU C/ C++ compiler (GCC) has finally materialized. Version 4.2 of GCC [1] follows in the trail of many major and minor changes. For a complete list of changes, refer to the GCC homepage [2].
The most significant change with version 4.2 is support for OpenMP [3], an open standard for program parallelization – especially for systems with shared memory. OpenMP lets programmers specify how the compiler and run-time systems will distribute code segments over multiple threads for parallel execution on multi-core systems.

6 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR: BB14S2? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
How does the pop of the S2 compare to other bats? Also, how does the vibration compare as well?
2014 Easton S2 BBCOR: (BB14S2) will be top of the line in comparison to other models when it comes to creating pop, and providing limited vibration. The 2014 Easton S2 (BB14S2) will be a two-piece hybrid design, and will incorporate a composite handle and alloy barrel. The alloy barrel is made of THT100 Scandium Alloy and will provide explosive pop. The SIC Black Carbon composite handle will help relieve and eliminate vibrations. This model is extremely high quality, and is currently top of the line in performance and materials.
Is this bat good in hot weather like in Arizona?
Yes, the 2014 Easton S2 (BB14S2) will perform very well in hot temperatures.
How does this bat compare to the RIP-IT AIR Elite?
Both the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR (BB14S2) and the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite are two-piece hybrid designs that feature a composite handle and alloy barrel. They each have a balanced swing weight that encourages both speed and power.
Product Description
New for 2014! The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its third season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, S3, and S4). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3, S4). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S2 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Productivity drops sharply in the You+Media offices when Drew Waters stops by. The guys all want war stories from the set of his NBC drama, Friday Night Lights. The girls just get a dreamy stare and smile. Frankly, it's awkward.
But that's Drew. Raised in Orange, TX, he was a track and field star who passed up a scholarship to Rice to work with F-14 jets in the Navy. After his tour, talent scouts saw those baby blue eyes and modeling jobs flowed in from Ralph Lauren, Prada, and Hugo Boss. Magazine ads and covers from GQ, Esquire, Vogue, and Men's Journal. Then photographer Bruce Weber told Drew he should try acting. Sure, why not? 20 films and six TV shows later, Waters decided to try producing, too. He has 2-3 very cool projects in development right now, and we hope he'll share his talents with You+Dallas as well.
No matter what, Waters' best role is as devoted husband and doting father. Eschewing the so-called 'glamour' of Hollywood, Waters is most content on his North Texas ranch with his family and his horses, just like his boyhood days in Orange. The man is a star.

Time again for the Get Serious! Spotlight on the News, at it shines our last remaining old 100-watt bulb on the man responsible for that green food coloring in your beer today, the man who puts the "go Bragh" in "Erin": Saint Patrick!
"Thanks. It's great to be here."
And thank you for graciously dropping down from Heaven for this interview. Now, Saint Patrick — may I call you Patrick?
"All my friends do. Just don't call me Paddy. I hate that."
You are probably Christianity's No. 1 celebrity saint, isn't that right?
"More or less. Actually, it's pretty close between me and Saint Francis of Assisi. We have a friendly rivalry going. I get the parades and parties, he gets the garden statuary and birdbaths. And he claims he gets friended more than me."
You have Facebook in Heaven?
"Our own version. It's called Gracebook. But of course we both say all the glory belongs to God."
Of course. Still, your feast day has become a worldwide celebration. As they say, on Saint Patrick's Day everyone wishes they were Irish.
"Including me. As you know, I was born in Britain. I was taken to Ireland as a slave in my youth for several years. Eventually I came back as a missionary bishop, and the rest is history."
So Ireland's patron saint is not, strictly speaking, Irish himself.
"True. I keep asking myself, should I really be wearing this 'Kiss Me, I'm Irish' button?"
I doubt anyone would object. But aren't you glad to see all this partying in your honor?
"Mostly, although I wish they were a bit more moderate in their drinking. Me, I'd have a flagon of mead on a Saturday night, but that was it. So whoever started this green beer business, it wasn't me."
Speaking of which, I sort of expected you to be wearing green yourself.
"Actually, I look better in sky blue, salmon or taupe. I'm a Light Summer. But you'll notice I do have a shamrock pinned to my bishop's miter, which is an old-time meaning of 'wearing of the green.'"
Since you're not a party animal yourself, how do you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
"Pretty quietly. After morning Mass, I watch the Fifth Avenue parade on TV. Then a couple of old Barry Fitzgerald movies. 'The Quiet Man' is my favorite. Ah, what a fine fiery colleen that Maureen O'Hara was. And Victor McLaglen, who's sort of like me in a way."
Like you? How?
"With all the Irish characters he played in those John Ford movies, he's the world's second most famous Irishman who wasn't actually Irish."

The digital space is crackling with fury and anxiety as the presidential campaigning heats up. The bad news: Things will grow worse leading up to Election Day in November. Rumors, half-truths, urban legends and gross distortions of actual events will be passed off as the gospel truth.
Of course, humans don't need the Internet to defame. The difference is that spreading falsehoods while seated at the hard-hat cafe in decades past doesn't have the reach of our current technology.
So, what have we learned from the digital space in recent weeks?
• Several Facebookers were claiming the president has a 19-year-old son named Luther, the product of a brief relationship in the early 1990s between a younger Obama and a cashier at a diner in Springfield, Ill. An article highlighted by these Facebook friends described the teen as "shy, slightly overweight" and doing grunt work for his father's re-election campaign.
We also learned that many of my Facebook friends aren't aware of The Onion, the satirical publication that published this fictitious story under the headline, "Obama's 19-Year-Old Son Makes Rare Appearance At DNC." Other Onion headlines last week were: "Romney: 'We Should Never Apologize For American Values Or Japanese Internment Camps' " and "Rising Star John Kerry's Stirring Speech Paves Way For 2016 Presidential Run."
• A team from the U.S. Health and Human Services department visited Atlanta's Emory Hospital last month, per an email sent to me. The HHS staffers were there to set up new procedures related to the 2010 Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act. Specifically, the email breathlessly reported, once the presidential election is over, doctors will be required to consult with a federal panel before performing surgery on anyone over the age of 70 "no matter how urgent or life threatening the situation is." Doctors and hospitals that fail to comply will face steep sanctions.
A quick check with Emory revealed that the email was a hoax. According to Vincent J. Dollard, associate vice president of communications at the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center of Emory University, "HHS has not sent anyone to speak to our doctors."
• The words "In God We Trust" are being removed from U.S. coins, claims an old email that is making the rounds again. In fact, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney alluded to this one last week during a campaign appearance in Virginia, saying "I will not take 'God' off our coins."
PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com and FactCheck.org have all debunked the coin claims. In 2010, PolitiFact noted "the email has the standard ingredients of an Internet falsehood — sloppy punctuation, an abundance of exclamation points, a plausible story ("I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a dollar bill instead'), a request to spread the email far and wide ("Please send to all on your mailing list!!!') and screaming capital letters ("IN GOD WE TRUST' IS GONE!!!')."
The rationale seems to be: Somebody took the time to type this and it agrees with my view of the way things work, so it must be true. This steady stream of inaccuracies via social media and my email inbox raises two questions. Why does this segment of people so thoroughly distrust journalists, who are trained to practice accurate and accountable reporting? Why instead do they trust non-sourced and dubious claims that almost invariably are produced by someone they don't know.
As usual, the old rules apply. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

You have less than 3/4 cuft of resin and only get 21K IF you set the salt dose at like 10-11 lbs. You will have a constant SFR of less than 6.75 gpm.
And 21K is the max K of capacity, so if you use that, your salt efficiency is going to be terrible, like 2000 grains/lb. And nothing should be run at max capacity IMO.
If you have a mechanical meter version of the 5600, the maximum gallons on the meter is 2100 BUT...
The 5600 in any version, requires a reserve capacity of one days total grains used so that if the meter gallons count down to 0, you run on the reserve capacity and have soft water until the next 2 AM when a regeneration can be done.
Some dealers will subtract like 20% of the capacity from the meter setting, I don't agree with that way of coming up with the reserve because the meter can 0 at say like 6 AM and 20% of a days use means you run out of capacity (soft water) before the next 2 AM.
You never answered me as to how many people there are in your household. How many?
How many bathrooms do you have?
What version of 5600 do you have?

Military Deployment
Liberty University greatly appreciates your service and the sacrifices you make daily to secure our freedom. When you are faced with a deployment or unexpected duty, we have a process in place to assist you. If you find that your duty may have an impact on your academic progress, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible so that we may help you through this process, both before and after your deployment.
If you are going to Basic Training, please go to our Initial Active Duty/Entry Training page
Before deployment:
Step 1: Review our Military Deployment - Tips for Success page
Step 2: Contact your professor
- Our professors are aware of the issues that face our military students and can often work with you by giving extensions or assigning work so you can complete the course while fulfilling your military obligation. After speaking to your professor, if sufficient time cannot be granted due to the course structure, please proceed to Step 3 to consider a military withdrawal.
Step 3: Contact an Academic Advisor
- If you are unable to continue your course due to deployment or military duty and cannot work with your professor to satisfy the course requirements, please contact an Academic Advisor to discuss the possibility of withdrawing from your course.
Things to consider when withdrawing from a course
- Your Education Office may recoup Tuition Assistance funds used for your course.
- Withdrawing may affect ability to use Financial Aid Title IV funds in future terms (Pell Grant, Student Loans, etc…) according to SAP policy. Note: Approved military withdrawal will not affect SAP standing.
- Grade of 'W' will be assigned and will appear on your academic transcript (this will not affect your GPA).
- This will not affect your university given military benefits (i.e. Tuition Discounts).
Army Active Duty/Reserves
- If you use the GoArmyEd portal for your Tuition Assistance you will need to withdraw from your course on the GoArmyEd portal. Your withdrawal will then automatically be sent to Liberty University and we will process your request.
Other Branches & Students that are not currently using TA
If you do not use the GoArmyEd portal you will need to contact an Academic Advisor to request a withdrawal.
- Phone: (800) 424-9595
- Email: email@example.com
- Live Chat
- If you do not use the GoArmyEd portal you will need to contact an Academic Advisor to request a withdrawal.
Please send Liberty University a copy of your military orders or a letter from your commanding officer for review. We request these documents be submitted within 2-3 days of requesting a military withdrawal. These documents must be official and specific enough to indicate the dates of your deployment or duty.
- Please send documents to the Military Affairs Office by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or by fax: (434) 455-1287.
Step 4: Contact your Education Office
- Please Contact your local Education Office and notify them of your change in enrollment. Many Education Offices will need to get a copy of your orders or require other documents in order to avoid recoupment.
After deployment
Step 1: Contact Us
Contact us to continue your education
- Phone: (800) 424-9595
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Live Chat
Step 2: Request to be reinstated in your program
If you have broken enrollment in the program due to your deployment, we can have you reinstated under your original degree plan. Please send an email to email@example.com requesting your academic status be reinstated. Your deployment orders or other military documents should be submitted to verify your inactivity due to deployment.
Step 3: Contact the Student Veterans Group
- The mission of the Student Veterans Group is to provide fellowship for student veterans, to support new student veterans in coordination with Liberty's Military Affairs Office and to create veteran-oriented Christian service opportunities.

Knot without conditions
Many Muslim women are taking the dramatic step of inserting special clauses into their nikahnama to protect themselves from future abuse.
Shabina Akhtar reports
Winds of change: Muslim women are performing nikahs, as Planning Commission member Sayeda Hamid (centre) recently did in Lucknow, and also insisting on pre-nuptial agreements
When Safura Sheikh, 27, announced that she wanted a few clauses inserted into her nikahnama (marriage contract), her elders gaped incredulously at her. They could not believe that a well brought up Muslim girl like her could want something so unthinkable as a specially tailored pre-nuptial agreement. Her parents tried to get her to change her mind, but Sheikh was adamant. Finally, a lawyer was summoned and both the bride's and the groom's families sat together to thrash out the terms of the clauses she wanted put in.
Says Sheikh, "I just wanted to safeguard my rights under Islamic law. I added a clause according to which my husband would have to divorce me and compensate me properly if he ever chose to re-marry. Another clause, Talaaq-i-Tasweej, ensures that I would be able to seek divorce if he failed to take good care of me or ill treated me. And in the event of a divorce, I would get the child's custody."
Sheikh, who got married last year, is not alone. Muslim girls are slowly waking up to the idea that they have the option to put in extra clauses in their nikahnama to ensure their future safety.
Niloofar Akhtar, an advocate at a family court in Mumbai, who is also an advisor to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), claims that she drafts at least six such nikahnamas a year. Of these, at least four get implemented. Most of these nikahnamas incorporate clauses similar to the ones that Sheikh had insisted upon. "However," adds Akhtar, "Most people keep quiet about it because they would not like to publicise what is seen in many quarters as behaviour that does not befit good Muslim girls."
Experts in Muslim personal law — the law that governs all Muslim marriage and divorce in India — say that the rights being included in these nikahnamas are already provided to the wife under Shariat (Islamic law). But in practice, husbands often tend to deny their wives such rights as the right to meher (dower given to the bride by the husband) or the right to seek divorce. "Incorporating such clauses can make these rights socially and legally acceptable. So it's best to have documents that can be produced to rebut denial, violation and transgression," says Amjad Ali Sardar, a lawyer at the Calcutta High Court.
Adds Akhtar, "If the woman has the right to divorce and the custody of her children is already given to her in writing in the nikahnama, it becomes a lot easier for her to exercise these rights, if needed. Otherwise, she will get drawn into a protracted legal battle if the husband does not wish to grant her a divorce."
Incidentally, under Shariat, non-payment of the dower is also a valid ground for divorce. Four years ago, Feroza Patel from Mumbai actually walked out of her marriage because her husband failed to fulfil the terms of her pre-nuptial agreement. She had included a clause in her nikahnama that stipulated that if her husband failed to gift her a decent flat as her deferred meher within six months of marriage, she would have the right to divorce him. The husband defaulted on his promise and Feroza Patel filed for a divorce and ended her marriage.
Though the concept of pre-nuptial agreements is slowly gaining ground among Indian Muslim women, the practice has always been in existence, say experts. Akhtar, who has been working to spread awareness of the rights of Muslim women, says, "If one goes through historical documents one sees that many Muslim queens used to tailor their nikahnamas to their specific needs."
Kathryn M. Coughlin, president, Global Research Group, Inc., Massachusetts, US, who has been doing research on the Islamic world, says, "We know from extant court records and fatwa collections that well-informed and educated women routinely inserted conditions in their marriage contracts to preserve their rights." According to her, in the early Islamic period, Ibn Hanbal (founder of the Hanbali school of jurisprudence) held that any conditions agreed upon as part of the marriage contact were valid, as long as the conditions themselves were not unlawful.
In fact, there is more than one narration in the Bukhari Sharif (one of the most important books of Islamic law) indicating that the nikahnamas of all the daughters of the Prophet Mohammad stipulated that their husbands would not take a second wife during their lifetime. But over time, prevailing social conditions and the diktat of the clergy eroded these rights of women.
Naturally, opinion is divided on whether or not today's Muslim women are doing the right thing by reclaiming these rights. Says Professor Nadeem Hasnain of Lucknow University, "It speaks volumes about women's empowerment. I would like to put it this way — it's nice to see Muslim women re-asserting the rights given to them by Prophet Mohammad's Islam, which had been snatched away by the clergy or Talibaani Islam."
However, Maulana Khalid Rashid, general secretary of the Islamic Centre of India, Lucknow, maintains that such a trend would not be healthy for society at large. "Marriage is a union of two lives. If a girl enters a relationship with such pre-conceived notions, the chances of the marriage being a success would definitely decrease."
Counters Akhtar, "A nikahnama is nothing but a contract between two individuals. So why can't a girl introduce clauses to protect her rights as per Shariat?"
Interestingly, even the All India Muslim Personal Law Board is taking a liberal view on this. Says Maulana Syed Nizamuddin, general secretary of AIMPLB, "Such conditions are not there in the model nikahnama drafted by AIMPLB. But if a couple wants to add some terms that do not violate the spirit of Islamic marriage they can do so."
Many Muslim women are, of course, enthused by the idea of incorporating clauses in their nikahnama to protect themselves from being ill-treated by the husband or from the fear of the husband taking another wife — something that is allowed under Islam. Ruhi Hussain, 45, a homemaker, says, "I didn't even read my nikahnama properly before signing it. But now that I know that certain clauses can be inserted to protect one's rights, I will ensure that my daughter includes these conditions in her nikahnama."
Echoes Summiya Sarwar, a 23-year-old media professional, "Why not exercise our rights when they are there? I think it's best to take away the sting before getting stung. I am very sure that I will draft a pre-nuptial agreement before I say 'qabool hai'."
Clearly, for many Muslim women, the times they are a-changin'.

It's about time! Kudos to these intelligent women.
The marital contract is so empowering, and it's something the Shari'ah has enshrined from the very beginning. It's good to know that women are taking advantage of it, especialy in a part of the world where they tend to be ignorant of or are prevented from doing so. At the very least, it adds protection to their rights when the prevailing society/culture and even the judicial system might not protect them otherwise. Perhaps over time this may help erode some of the negative cultural attitudes towards some of those conditions as well.

Should MS1, MS2, MS3 also get autodeploy? Seems unfair for some players to get 2 territs with +2 auto and some with 1 +2 auto.
L1-13 and MS1-3 need underlying neutrals for games with less than 8 players.
Why do BS territs have autodeploy of 0?

5601 West 78TH Street, Bloomington, MN | Directions 5543944.863041 -93.366187
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Can be best deal in town, sleep and shower well with internet – The price can really fluctuate here so make sure you find a deal - sometimes under $100 / night. The rooms are magnificent. My favorite features are the luxury bathrooms and 4 seasons european beds. They also have a work desk that requires a $10 / night high speed internet. The food is overpriced at the restaurant, but the bar can be nice place to relax late at night.
It tries... – Reservations went fine - booked for New Year's Eve arrived around 6 or 7pm - fantastic location. Valet was too busy talking amongst themselves to realize me sitting there for at least 5 minutes - eventually opted to park in the parking lot. Lazy service compared to more refined places like The Marquette. Ordered a coke when we first got there, waited 25 minutes before we left for dinner - of course we were charged for the coke, which was NEVER delivered. We were also charged for two mini bar items that were never touched - in fact the mini bar was never even checked! Breakfast was about $60 for two people! I would rank this place below average if it weren't for the awesome ambiance and room comfort. The bedding was heavenly. All in all...
Room Service 5 (forgot coke but not the charge, aced breakfast)
Value 6 (overpriced breakfast, reasonable room rate)
Comfort 8 (If door service was a little better this might be a 9)
Business ?
Close to Airport, Reasonably priced! – Very nice accommodations for the price. It's a nice high rise to stay if doing a shopping trip to Mall of America, or Southdale in Edina. Close to great restaurants via car.The rooms are comfortable and small. They have nice work stations/desks for business travelers.
Editorial Review – With acclaimed restaurants and fine amenities, this upscale hotel brings luxury and style to the heart of Minneapolis.
A so-so stay – We stayed at the Sofitel last year during a convention. I was able to get a deal on the rooms, and that's really the only thing that made it worth staying there. The service was really not very good. We did have dinner at La Fougasse one evening, and the food and service there were excellent.
Mr – My wife and I have stayed at the wonderful place for many years. It is still an occasion to do so. Only one time when we checked in were we given an inadequate room (very small). As soon as I complained we were moved. Everyone is always very accomodating and welcoming. For us a wonderful weekend trip.
Dan Richie – The room service was exceptional. My wife & I travel the midwest frequently & this is the first hotel we've stayed in that had REAL room service. From the late night snack to breakfast it was very impressive.
What more can you ask for? – Staying at the Sofitel Minneapolis was the best ever. Comfy beds, great service by friendly staff. Spacious rooms with a home away from home feeling. Dinning in the resturants was great. I believe that La Fougasse is a great addition and Chez Colette is as always the great food and service I expect.
Paris in Minneapolis – Chez Collette never disappoints. Try a basket of fresh-baked croissants for a Paris-experience breakfast, a bowl of onion soup and baguette for lunch, or steak and fries for a bistro dinner. And don't forget to stop by the bake-shop.
The weekend specials, particularly Bastille Day and New Year's Eve, are a fantastic value.

Hi Kristine,
I'm fine, thanks. A very busy week but Friday has arrived at last! Now I just want to rest the whole weekend. Hope to have some spare time to browse through the web 'cos I have lately not been much active.
Wish you are well too. It's a pleasure to be in contact with you.
We keep in touch! Take care. xxx

Dear all,
I am here 'cos I adore Lenny's music, he is really inspiring and to see him in live concert is a pleasure.
Besides him, I also like Pet Shop Boys, HIM, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Christina Rosenvinge, etc.
Apart from Music, I love Art (my profile The Scream is a passion for me), Literature (Oscar Wilde is my dearest author) and Animals (haven't got children so my dog The Great Gatsby is my joy)
And last, but not least, I Love my Family and Friends (Miriam, the sunflower of this website, is one of my ever best friends).
Let Love Rule!
Ana M.
Hi Kristine,
Hello my dear Miriam!!
I am totally overwhelmed about your comments. Needless to say I have the same opinion of you too.
You are an extraordinary good friend, and a fantastic mother for your little son.
We have lived many experiences together and for sure this will keep going on for ever.
LK has offered us now the possibility of meeting and sharing thoughts here in this community, where we'll have the chance to meet lots of brilliant LK fans.
Love you
Hi, my dear friend. I'm very glad to see you here too. I would like to have written something to you before now to welcome you but, you know the reasons.
I admire you for your intelligence, your honesty, your generosity, your good taste and for many other things.
You and I have shared so many good moments ... We have enjoyed 4 LK concerts in Barcelona. I have no words to describe this great feeling because a LK concert without you would not be the same. LK, you, and me, and now, thanks to this website, other Lenny Lovers.
I love you, Ana, my dear friend.

The ones that matter the most in this deal are Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres.
They acquired some signing flexibility from Baltimore in the Feldman/Steve Clevenger trade and even more by dealing Double-A second baseman Ronald Torreyes to the Astros. Torres, a Venezuelan shortstop, has agreed to a deal for $1.7 million and the Cubs are believed to be closing in on a deal for Jimenez, a power-hitting Dominican outfielder.
Both Jimenez and Torres are 16, which means that even if they do sign them it will be years before we know what kind of return they got from Feldman (plus we'll have to bring in Nate Silver to do the math on all the moves going on Tuesday).
This we can say: Feldman was a great signing. He picked the Cubs over some other suitors last winter because Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer guaranteed him he would be a starting pitcher, and he responded well to the job security.
Feldman was 7-6 with a 3.46 earned run average in his 15 starts with the Cubs. The Orioles hit a home run by getting him while giving up the 27-year-old Arrieta and 28-year-old Strop rather than any of their under-25 prospects in the minors. This means they still have a full inventory if they decide to pursue Matt Garza or another starter closer to the July 31 deadline for non-waiver trades.
Strop, who was a force for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, and Arrieta have upside. But it will be up to Chris Bosio and Dale Sveum to figure how to get them straightened out.
In Strop's case, a relatively easy, pressure-free finish to the 2013 season might set him up for a big '14. He has seemed on fumes since Tony Pena pitched him six times in the WBC, when Strop was a big part of the bullpen that carried the Dominican Republic to the title.
Arrieta (20-25 with a 5.46 ERA in 358 career innings) could benefit from a move to the National League as well as a chance to slide into the rotation and get another long look, without having to look over his shoulder.
As it looks now, the Orioles are getting the edge in this trade. But it could look a lot different if Jimenez and Torres are playing together at Wrigley Field in 2018 or '19.
As for Carlos Marmol and some signing space to the Dodgers for Matt Guerrier, at least the Cubs got something for Marmol, who was dropped from the roster a week ago on the addition-by-subtraction theory. Guerrier could bounce back to pitch well for the Cubs. If he does, maybe he'll be on the move again in a few weeks. If he doesn't, he won't be around long either.
The Cubs were so happy not to eat all of Marmol's contract that they tipped the Dodgers for taking Marmol, giving them about $210,000 of their newly gained signing flexibility. That's how you know Epstein and Hoyer are happy.

text: Keep Soybean Rust Out ASA is asking the USDA to conduct a soybean rust risk assessment before allowing soybean imports to possibly contaminate domestic fields. Compiled by staff Published on: Feb 12, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Soybean producers are concerned about accidental introduction of Asian soybean rust from Brazil. The American Soybean Association (ASA) has asked the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to conduct a risk assessment before any potential commodity soybean imports from rust-infected countries are contemplated. "Given the impact soybean rust would have on soybean production and growers in the U.S., the only prudent course of action is to avoid imports from diseased areas until APHIS completes its risk assessment," says ASA President Ron Heck, a soybean producer from Perry, Iowa. "We know APHIS scientists are working diligently on the risk assessment, and ASA supports their science-based evaluation." Soybean rust is not present in the continental United States. It has been present throughout Asia and Australia for decades. In 1996, the disease moved from Asia into Uganda, and by 2002, it had spread throughout much of Africa. In 2001, soybean rust was found in South America and it has spread throughout the soybean growing areas of Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. By 2003, rust had also spread to a northern, non-soybean growing area of Argentina. In a Phytosanitary Alert issued by the North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO), it was estimated that soybean rust could adversely affect all soybean varieties in the United States at an estimated cost of $7.2 billion, which represents about half the value of the U.S. soybean crop. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, sent a letter to the USDA three weeks ago requesting they continue to determine a science-based protocol for entry of foreign soybeans into the United States. Representative Tom Latham, R-Iowa, has introduced a bill that calls for temporary suspension of soybean imports. Grassley warns that the United States has always been a country that bases its decision on sound science. He adds, "we've got time to make judgements based on science and not emotion" and doesn't support the suspension.

Here are just a few comments from teachers who recently attended the Teacher Institute:
"I love this program! The preparation and presentation is beyond expectation! The presenters are professional yet fun and relaxed. The amount and quality of materials, lessons, and experiences is so much, I can barely take it all in. But it gives some broad perspectives and helpful tools in viewing and using/understanding history. Life changing! It's a very rich and engaging program. It's given me an enthusiasm about this period in history, and a desire to more fully integrate art with social studies. It made everything come alive."
"Excellent program! [The] presenters and facilitators were dedicated, thorough, and complete. I felt as if I was always getting 100% of the presenters' knowledge base despite the heat or the hour! This was a great inspiration. This dedication was even more apparent and appreciated among my peers."
"This week has been the most amazing week of my 26th year career as an educator and as an American citizen. It truly has deeply impacted me on so many levels. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything!"
"I keep thinking every day that this is The Best professional development I've ever received. I cannot wait to go back to teach and share what I've learned with my colleagues."
