The study of the interrelationship between ethnomedicinal knowledge and socio-cultural values needs to be studied mainly for the simple reason that culture is not only the ethical imperative for development, it is also the condition of its sustainability; for their exists a symbiotic relationship between habitats and cultures. The traditional communities around Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttarakhand state in India have a rich local health care tradition, which has been in practice for the past hundreds of years. The present study documents the Ethnomedicinal uses of 54 medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) along with their botanical and vernacular names, family, habit, habitat, threat status, collection season, purpose of collection, quantity, conservation practices, market potential and part(s) used in traditional health care system. The documented species belonging to 38 families have been used to cure more than 47 different kinds of ailments. These MAPs collected from the wild in a particular season and used as per the method prescribed by traditional herbal healers (Vaidyas) that provide effective results. Perception of local people during field trips based on socio-demographic characters showed them to prefer herbal system of treatments and they understood the status of traditional health care systems in the region. The study reveals that approximately 70 % population of the study area depend on herbal systems of treatments and preferred to visit Vaidyas for curing a variety of ailments because the traditional system of medicine is one of the most important prevailing systems in the region where modern health care facilities are rare or in very poor conditions. The organic cultivation practices of selected MAPs were demonstrated to rural inhabitants through capacity building training program and participatory action research framework approaches for sustainability and enhancement of livelihood security. A series of workshops and village level meetings on traditional health care systems were organized and forming/registered a strong association of Vaidyas for making their traditional system of health care more practical and effective. The study emphasizes the potentials of the ethnomedicinal research, conservation practices, socio-cultural and religious ethics for promoting traditional plants based treatments and also the need to document the indigenous knowledge for scientific validation before its industrial application.

Newt Gingrich Keeps Finding Other Things on Which to Blame Words That Came Out of His Mouth
"Meet the Press" was too "adversarial."
Yesterday, Newt Gingrich claimed that the "gotcha press ... took dramatically out of context" his criticism of the GOP Medicare reform plan on Meet the Press "and tried to make it dramatically a fight between me and Paul Ryan." Today, according to the Daily Caller, Gingrich "blamed the 'adversarial nature of the show' for distorting his position on individual mandates." [Daily Caller]

Es la segunda vez que me hospedo ahí. Esta muy cerca del WTC de la CDMX y de Av. Insurgentes, es muy práctico, atención de excelencia por parte de la administración, muy limpio y con instalaciones que cubren las necesidades de los huéspedes.
We enjoyed everything about this B&B: the GREAT and personalized service, the nice rooms (we tried two rooms, one with a private bathroom and one without one), the fantastic breakfasts, the useful location of the B&B, its decoration, and on and on. We just wished we could stay longer. This place is so lovely and quiet, you wouldn't imagine you're in the middle of a busy city.
Perfect combination between the intimacy of a b&b -- with an amazing breakfast served by a staff who knows you and is always attentive to your likes/dislikes for food & drink -- in a large house that allows you to feel independent and private. They have a great aesthetic that is warm but stylish and a perfect place to relax after the day in the city. But the staff was really the most amazing part, so friendly & helpful! A great choice.
Nos encantó hospedarnos en Dakota B&B. Es un lugar que tienen impecable, muy cómodo, con espacios amplios y mucha iluminación. Su ubicación es excelente para poder ir a distintos puntos de la enorme Ciudad de México, la zona es muy tranquila y con muchos servicios y restaurantes que se pueden acceder caminando.
Dakota B&B es como sentirte en casa o mejor aun, en casa de algún amigo, es un lugar muy cómodo, cálido y silencioso, buena atención y servicio, con habitaciones muy bonitas y agradables, muy bien decoradas. Pero lo mejor es la tranquilidad y seguridad que hay en el hotel. Por esto y mas es un lugar Excelente para quedarse.
Excelente ubicación, barrio y servicio personalizado. Te brindaran la atención que requieras, y guía sobre la ciudad. Habitaciones cómodas, amplias y limpias. 100% recomendado.
There is nothing not to love about El Patio! The staff bend over backward to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are beautiful and artfully designed. Don't be fooled by reviewers who say the neighborhood is not safe - it is perfectly safe and filled with lovely people who are friendly and helpful. There are excellent eateries in the neighborhood and a great market - Mercado San Cosme. The metro is only about three blocks away (also very safe) and we did not have any problems with taxis or tour buses finding the place. The breakfast every morning is delicious, and the showers get plenty hot (again don't be fooled by negative reviews). The hotel is eco-friendly, so they give you soap/shampoo to use and filtered water in your room. If you are looking for a more traditional hotel experience in a touristy neighborhood then this isn't for you. El Patio exceeded all of our expectations - thank you Vero, Diego and Giovani for making our first trip to Mexico City very special!
Me quedé en el hotel por 5 noches, y todo estuvo muy bien. La localización del lugar es muy buena, está muy cerca todo (el Metrobús, Supermercado, Restaurantes, etc.), la atención personalizada que brinda Max (el Dueño) y privacidad en las habitaciones, es de lo mejor.
No conocía la figura o estilo de hospedajes bed and breaskfast. A primera impresión sentí que no era el tipo de hospedaje para una visita de negocios, pero luego de la amable atención el Sr, Max realmente con sus conocimientos todo cambio, aparte que es una persona que ha incursionado en muchos negocios distintos por lo que es muy facil resolver todo alrededor, prácticamente existe todo lo que necesites. con respecto al hospedaje es una zona extremadamente tranquila, los desayunos son magníficos, el cuarto es muy grande y el baño también, tal vez lo único que le falta es una modernización a el baño pero se que es una inversión costosa, la internet trabaja muy bien un gran escritorio, Etc. Lo recomiendo para cualquier objetivo que tenga en la ciudad de México.
The perfect B & B should be exactly like this. Great place, friendly staff, very clean rooms and bathrooms and structure with ecological systems and many wonderful plants. Located in an area of the city, very interesting!
Me quedé en el hotel por 4 noches! Todo fue muy bueno, la localizacion es muy buena por estar en un ambiente tranquilo y cercano de el MetroBus y de Supermercado y restaurantes. El equipo de el Hotel es muy simpatico y estaba siempre pronta a atenderme. Para el desayuno no hay muchas opiciones pero lo que hay es muy rico! El cuarto es muy limpio y el baño es nuevo y bueno. A mi me gusto mucho y yo volveria con placer a quedarme alla!
El dueño esta al pendiente de tus necesidades como huesped eso marca la diferencia en la exelencia
We decided to stay in this beautiful B & B in Mexico City because of the rich colonial history. I had seen pictures of it online, and always wanted to stay there. Well, the pictures that are posted online, couldn't do it justice! What an amazing place! Our room was beautiful, clean, and had an awesome view of the garden. The ladies that are there to help, are wonderful and friendly! Would stay there again in a heartbeat! Oh, and did I mention that the breakfasts are divine as well?
El servicio del personal es fantástico, siempre muy cordial y atentos a resolver las necesidades de los huéspedes. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas y funcionales, dándole la privacidad y el confort que necesitas, y la ubicación es excelente pues hay muchos sitios cercanos al B&B que te permiten moverte sin necesidad de un auto. La comida del desayuno también es muy rica!!
So, I wanted to return to Mexico city after 17 years and show it to my wife, and Patio 77 was recommended by my cousin, who lives there. Sometimes you choose a place to stay that just defines the entire trip, and this was one of those times: wonderful, helpful staff, an unbelievably tranquil and well renovated building, and a sense of style and comfort that is just hard to buy. The location in old Mexico City has a wonderful mix of classic elegance and modern hustle and bustle: you're right on the Metro for buses and trains but you can also easily walk to Reforma and all the sights of the city (why not spend your first day wandering to Chapultepec castle?) But most of all the staff were wonderful. Helping us with our rubbish spanish, bringing us fresh, eye-opening, perfectly prepared breakfast, and even telling us where we can get a decent pair of cowboy boots. I was always in love with La Ciudad de Mexico, but el Patio 77 means I'll be going back every few months. This place is almost too nice, for serious. PS it's hard to cover everything, but even the art on the walls there became a sort of visual companion for our stay. Just beautiful!
I have been at Dakota B&B twice and will continue doing so when in Mexico City. Perfect and safe location, immaculate home and a fantastic host (Max), always informed of what's going on in the mega-city and willing to provide sound advice. For those of us who travel all the time, having a place where you are independent but still feel at home, is a welcomed experience. Breakfast is good, space is tranquil and you are in a very convenient part of the city from where you can move around easily. Plenty of restaurants and public transportation in the immediate vicinity. Very fair price.
localização excelente, simpatia do proprietário, ótimas instalações. recomendo sem hesitação
Well placed, nice place, service level up to expected of bed and breakfast and better. Will return and recommend.
Mi agradecimiento y felicitación al equipo administrativo de Dakota Bed & Breakfast, que durante nuestra estancia en la ciudad de México DF nos permitió hospedarnos en un ambiente acogedor, limpio y con excelente atención. Mi más alta recomendación si de hospedaje se trata en la ciudad de México.
Absolutely wonderful B&B, very helpful staff, delicious Mexican breakfast, clean rooms and modern furniture. I loved it and would come back to Mexico City just to stay at this nice place again.
Endroit à recommander. Propriétaires très recevants et courtois. Gracias Mauricio! Service impeccable. Très propre, matelas confortable, grande pièce. Cour intérieure. Accès facile au Métrobus (également au métro et au bus) . Quartier sécuritaire, près des services et du parc Hundido. Possibilité d'un taxi privé à partir du B & B. Déjeuners TRES bons inclus.
This is such a cozy nice and clean bed & breakfast. The location is fantastic just 2 blocks from all restaurants and cafes and the street is located is very calm. Ask for the "huevos a la mexicana" dish..delicious.. we will be back! highly recommended.
During our holiday in DF we stayed at B&B Dakota. We were very happy we decided to stay there. Max is a very helpfull man, he mekes delicious breakfasts and it's very clean there.
When traveling in Mexico I often start and end my trips in Mexico City. The Dakota B and B has always been the perfect place to stay while I'm there. I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Dakota again and want to share my reasons for choosing it as my home away from home in Mexico City. First, the location: Colonia Napoles, where the Dakota is located, is a very safe and pleasant neighborhood with excellent restaurants and shops. When venturing further afield there is also easy access to the Metrobus on Insurgentes only 3 blocks away. Second, the hotel: Guests at the Dakota will find their accommodations not only clean and comfortable but will also notice an overall abundance of good taste and attention to detail not usually found in such a moderately priced establishment. Third, the owners: Max and Ruth, are two of the most sincerely gracious and hospitable people I have ever met. Ruth prepares excellent and varied deysayunos to start your day while Max gives each guest helpful advice (in English or Spanish) on places to go and things to do while in Mexico City. Because of the Dakota B and B (and Max and Ruth) I have come to appreciate and enjoy my time in Mexico City. There is no doubt that I will be returning to Mexico City and the Dakota B and B.
Muchas gracias por todo , pase una excelente estadia
That is the place you have to stay if you are staying close by the World Trade Center. Great location, very calm neighborhood, there are many restaurants around, supermarket 24hrs and very nice parks very close by. The B&B is managed for a more then helpfull guy called Max. max, thanks for everything, I had a great time at Dakota, and your mexican breakfast are just great. I would come back for sure. Highly recommended!!!"
Throw all of your tour books away. Max, a native of Mexico City, knows more about Mexico City than all of those books combined and will enthusiastically share his knowledge with you. He helped me plan trips, gave me maps, made suggestions of what to see and where to eat, and answered all of my questions. He's really a wonderful host! He even lent me his own Metrobus card (which he certainly did not have to do; it was incredibly generous). The rooms are very comfortable and quiet (and include a safe), the breakfasts are delicious, and the neighborhood is lovely, safe, and close to lots of things. I would definitely recommend this B & B to others and plan to stay again when I return to Mexico City.
I have had many positive B&B experiences in my time, but this may top them all. We had two lovely (and clean) rooms between the four or us, with a shared private courtyard (and a very charming garden to one side). Hard to think of any improvements. At first we thought the beds were hard, but after a side tip (lodging at three other places), we realized that by the standards of the area, the beds were probably above average (nice mattress toppers). The only suggestion I can come up with is to allow for the little bathroom "vent windows" to be closeable, so that bathroom noise doesn't have to be shared with those on the patio. :) The location is awesome. Safe feeling (we did a lot of late night walking), near restaurants and parks, and just far enough from Insurgentes (bus line). Max was absolutely amazing. Soooo accommodating, both before and during our stay (three nights). He helped us plan EVERYTHING, including walking tours, side trips, bus and taxi rides, touristy stuff (crowd avoidance, saving money,etc.). He arranged transportation for us on several occasions. Breakfasts were hearty and tasty; Max went thru extra effort to accommodate dietary restrictions. I hate to admit it, but, but we were high maintenance tourists, and demanded a LOT of Max's time. I'm sure he had other things to do, but Max showed nothing but patience and good humor with us throughout our stay.
We stayed at Dakota B&B for three nights and it was an ideal choice for our stay. We wanted simple, clean, safe accommodation and that is exactly what we got. Max, our host, was fantastic. He was so helpful and pretty much organised our entire trip for us. We hadn't done much research and he gave us all the tips and information we needed to ensure we had a fantastic three days in this wonderful city. He very kindly drove us to our airport shuttle bus at an extremely early hour in the morning - thank you Max! Our room was spotlessly clean and the patio area outside the room was lovely. The B&B is ideally located for getting aroudn the city with great transport links and a great choice of restaurants etc. The breakfast was also excellent. We would definitely recommend this lovely B&B!
I booked my room after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. It is located very close to metro station San Cosme so you can reach easily the sights. I loved my room it was nicely decorated as the whole place. The exhibited works of local artists provide a special atmosphere. When you enter the big door you can find a beautiful, relaxing place where you can feel really comfortable. I spent 5 nights in room Veracruz. My bed was huge and super cozy and the shared bathroom was also nice and clean. The wifi was much better than in my previous 4star hotel. I liked the breakfasts a lot - warm Mexican food with fresh juice, fruits and coffee. The staff is very helpful and kind, their hospitality is amazing. They arranged great tours for me to Teotihuacan and to the local markets. Both tours were professionally organized and I could learn a lot about history and arts too. El Patio's staff gives you all support you can imagine (from suggesting places to see or eat to calling a taxi) they are really taking care of you. Big thank you Alan, Diego and the entire staff! I would like to come back and I highly recommend this place.

13. …Just When I Thought Things Could Reach a New Normal Reviews
(Chapter 13 Review)
I told you before you were a CAT 3, but now you lept to a CAT 5. You are after his job, and his kids. We all know he is poorer then the others, but really JDRAMA, you pull no punches. He could be kid less, and jobless by months end. I just looked at the weather and those clouds are growing darker.
Meanwhile, he is stuck in his sexless relationship. 22 days. Ha!
I said she was a scorned woman, but Devon make me see why people stay in the closet.
Reply from Jwolf (author)
(Chapter 13 Review)
And I totally did not see Devon almost ready to pack up and move to Chicago. Wow, I can't imagine how devastaed Coop feels. After all, he practically raised those kids working at home, while Devon was establishing her dental conglomerate. Now, I can't remember if I wrote this in a review already, but if the kids don't want to go with her, they may not have to. I don't know about the laws in Texas, but here in Connecticut and Jersey(where I'm from), at age fourteen I believe, the child can decide which parent he/she wants to live with. So Devon may not have choice about leaving them with Coop.
I also don't think Kyle should be Coop's attorney. I've always thought this and can't remember if I mentioned it. Isn't it a conflict of interest? Since they're friends?
Anyway, awesome chapter! And oh, btw: what's going on w/BHB's? Haven't seen any updates in awhile....

Hmmm problems with the wife wanting to move away, problems with the University. I suggest Coop gets a good lawyer and not Kyle due to their issues, perhaps someone Kyle recommends and of course Kyle can still offer advice, lastly Kyle should consult his lawyer before providing copies of his manuscript.
Really liked that Chase help back and just tried to be there emotionally, I hope he becomes the Rock that Coop needs. Coop has enough trouble going on his life with work, friends issues and his kids it would be nice if Chase's love helps see him through.

The fearless foursome (five with Winston) scene was indicative of all their longstanding foibles. Coop may not understand it all, but perhaps even he is beginning to understand it is all getting a little stale.
Coop having Kyle for his personal attorney is a problem. Kyle is not someone Coop can rationally deal with and he needs to have an attorney that can give impartial advice.
The subplot with the review of the book by the U and Coop's complete caving sounds suspiciously like a priori censorship. Morals clause or not, consenting sex among adults is no longer illegal in this country.

Another beautiful chapter!!
Reply from Jwolf (author)

Frankly, I'm of two minds on that scene as far as Chase's behaviour is concerned. I really want to believe he caught himself at the last possible moment and cautioned Coop about doing something he might regret. That is totally sweet! On the other hand, Chase had to be aware that Coop was pretty vulnerable and Chase was basically setting himself up as a really great guy - as in manipulative. Until I work this out, I'm blaming the author for my nasty feelings!
I believe Devon is in for a rude awakening once her kids get wind of the move to Chicago. Liz especially will tear a strip off her. Can't wait for that.
One observation that I made some time ago but haven't expressed as yet is how difficult it is to like/accept the partners that our best friends choose. I have personal experiences around that and it certainly seems to be the case with our four buds here. Curious, isn't it, Monsieur?
All in all, a truly an amazing chapter, Jwolf!!
Reply from Jwolf (author)

But the best part of this chapter, I have to say, is the brunch scene.
First of all the SATC analogy has never been more obvious, and it is quite well done so hats off to that!
Second of all the resentment Coop's friends have towards him because of their hatred towards Chase had me feeling as frustrated as Coop. The unwavering solidarity between Kyle and Spence is irritating at times, from Cooper's point of view. I am kind of eager to witness a confrontation between Chase and the posse. It seems on the way, but I guess I would have prefered a meeting with Spencer, since Kyle and Chase's "relationship" can really only go one way.
And finally congratulations on getting me to be as self-involved as Coop. I really don't want Kyle to get over him, which is against everything I said, being a fervent pro-Chaser.
Anyway great chapter, keep them coming !!!

I'm not sure what version of WordPress I'm using but would like ideas and suggestions for improving my site. Maybe someone can also tell me what version I'm using for future reference. Mostly though I'd like advice on any type of improvement anyone can think of.
Also need help to set up/install a widget so people can subscribe to my blog. I've read some of the documentation but for me it is like reading Chinese. So any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you ahead of time for your help and advice.

We tested the idea that ruminants allocate their feeding time to habitat patches in relation to foraging efficiency. We used five tame red deer (Cervus elaphus) in an enclosure planted with four treatment of timothy grass (Phleum pratense) differing in their stage of growth. Older swards offered higher biomass but lower nutritional quality than younger swards. We observed time spent feeding in each treatment during each of seven trials. We measured goodness-of-fit between observed times and predictions from two alternative hypotheses differing in optimization strategy (maximizing versus matching), and a third, null hypothesis. We tested the hypotheses using two alternative currecies: digestible protein, and digestible dry matter or energy. Although digestible protein concentration and dry-matter digestibility were highly correlated (r=0.763, P<0.001), the wider range of digestible protein made it the much more sensitive measure of forage quality. Distributions of feeding time closely matched estimated intake rates of digestible protein (R infPred sup2 =0.899) across all animals and trials. The other hypotheses were rejected. The results have important ecological implications in showing the underlying role of food in the selection of habitat by ruminants, and that simple, mechanistic models of forage intake and digestion can be scaled up to the level of animal behavioural choices.

Theory question
Every Python shell has objects that can be used without being declared or created, such as True, False, "", [], {}, and any combination of integers and floating point numbers.
This means that at any point, you can get their ids.
Of course, if you try to get the id of an undeclared object, you get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#29>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'myobject1' is not defined
Since myobject1 points to nothing, it's not defined, and has no id.
Yet, there are an infinite number of objects which could be used without declaration, because the number system is infinite. Thus it would be impossible for all of the undeclared objects to have id's prior to being used in some capacity in the program.
When do these objects get assigned ids?

I use the php
time() function to insert the time into a database after a user posts on my site. I store this value as an int. I believe the
time() function inputs the number of seconds since like 1970. I now want to get the current time so I can subtract the two and get the time since the user's post. I have a two questions regarding this process:
- Does the time come from the user's computer or somewhere on my server or somewhere else?
- Is the time function stored as an Int the best way to do this?

In the groove
Merrill Lynch and Capgemini's recent report on high net-worth individuals found Hong Kong leading the Asia-Pacific region with a 33.3 per cent growth in the number of millionaires in the city last year. The report attributed the boom to a healthy economy and gains in the equities and property markets.
As a city that positions itself as the region's financial centre, this makes sense and is proof that its vast investment is paying off. And when the rest of the world is struggling with debt and desperately trying to fend off stagflation, being said to have 'a healthy economy' is a tremendous confidence booster. But before we give ourselves more kudos than we deserve, we should be terrified to see how much the property market is at play here.
Sky-rocketing property prices have generated tremendous wealth but they are also the main reason for social angst. It's a tide that lifts some boats and sinks the rest; we may have more millionaires but we also have more people living in cage homes and subdivided flats.
There is no quick fix to our economic structural addiction to the property market. The woes of negative-equity owners dominating news headlines isn't exactly from our distant past and its ghosts haunt our public policy corridors, and affect public discourse today. We have been high on property booms before, and it has increased social irritability, paranoia, anxiety and aggressiveness. With more millionaires and millions of others hooked on it, it's going to take as much conviction as it will creativity for the government to get us off our 'economic crystal meth'.
While millionaire numbers show we are property addicts, the Gini coefficient, which measures the income gap, dispels the myths politicians love to spread. The US' Lorenz curve, which shows income distribution, doesn't look too different from ours, so more freedom and democracy aren't going to do anything to bridge the wealth gap. Wealth disparity is a problem, and it's a global one.
What matters is opportunity and, like mojo, it's something no one seems able to quantify. But there are references, like the annual liveable cities index compiled by British lifestyle magazine Monocle, that can shed light on where we stand. Surprisingly, its latest survey put our city, for the first time, on its map, at No 17, and flatteringly described it as 'poised to play an ever greater role in the world order'.
In today's globalised world, connectivity counts for quite a lot. Despite the controversies stirred up over projects like the high-speed rail link, the bridge to Zhuhai and Macau, and the West Kowloon arts hub, they're factors considered to work in our favour, according to the Monocle index.
No matter whether we agree with the magazine, we can be pleased that we're still a city that's able to make an impact, that Hong Kong is still a hot spot that people gravitate towards - despite our property addiction, wealth disparity, political and pollution problems. Sure, we have tough habits to kick, illegal structures to tear down, and a whole list of issues to tackle, but we've got potential and enough mojo to keep us going. These are things money can't buy.
Alice Wu is a political consultant and a former associate director of the Asia Pacific Media Network at UCLA

Released: Sep 01st, 1994
Running Time:
Director: Crystal Crawford
Company: Heads or Tails
Cast: Traci Prince, Eric Monroe, Crystal Crawford, Lana Woods, Rick Rogue, Sharon Kane, Tony Belmonte, Aja Devoure
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Gay and Bi
We open with Tony Belmonte getting head from a homely drag with a big fake ring. Another one tries to hide her scrotum while getting butt-fucked. Why bother? There's a fake rape scene, someone in a fuschia wig, et cetera.
With less-than-satisfactory production values, it's a long hour, even with the beautiful Sharon Kane getting it on with another real woman. And the cake is when Woods and Rogue do the "I'm Vice, you're under arrest." "Oh, no, how can I wiggle out of this?" "You can blow me" routine. And, very routine it is, although they do put on condoms. Strictly for die-hard fans of this genre.

News DV One Hearing, Sept 27, 2006
This morning, at the far too bright and early hour of 8:30 am, King County Courthouse was again filled with supporters of DV One, who came to listen in on his legal hearing. We thought the early hour might keep away some supporters, but the small courtroom on the 12th floor was filled to maximum capacity and spilled out into the hallway. The hearing itself was to enter DV One's plea of "Not Guilty" and also for the judge to decide whether DV was likely to commit another crime before the trial and therefore would be required to post bail. The judge decided in favor of the defense — DV does not have to post bail, though the decision is more important symbolically as a sign that the judge felt DV could be trusted to a certain extent.
We talked to some of DV One's supporters and the alleged felon himself.
This first clip, Dr. Gwendolyn Jones (mother of Jonathan Moore) opining about her take on the case.
This second clip features comments from Geologic of the Blue Scholars, who we cornered in the hallway before the hearing, and DV One after the hearing was decided in favor of the defense.
DV-one's lawyer, public defender Lisa Daugaard, would not comment on whether they're planning to press charges against the police for his injuries.

I'm setting up 3 language sites with different content through multi-site. Basically I need to be able to select a language and it should take me (or the user) to a specific sub-site or sub-domain (not sure what to call it).
Dunno if my wording is correct but just to illustrate what I mean:

choose your language

and of course someone from English should be able to link to Afrikaans vica versa etc.
Great Plug-in by the way. I had a LOT less hassle with this than many of the others!

the last 1,000 customers:
from CustomInk again
Uncensored Customer Reviews
Here's what recent customers had to say:
Great, this is our second time using custom ink for a roller hockey tournament. Great results everyime
Allentown, PA
Custom link was great! If I had any questions about my order, I called customer service. They were very friendly and helpful. I also liked how they made adjustments they saw fit to my T-shirt design. I felt the T-shirt sizing guide was also very helpful in ordering the perfect fit. My husband recommended Customlink, since he ordered his team hockey shirts them. I would also recommend them.
Elmhurst, IL
Great service! I must have used the chat feature at least 100 times during the process, everyone was very helpful! Great way to celebrate our hockey team. Go Puckheads!
Palm Beach Puckheads,
Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Very positive experience! Sweatshirts arrived in a very timely manner and are of very high quality. My daughter ordered them for her field hockey team and she is thrilled with the result.
Toronto, ON, Canada
This was a birthday present for my son who is a Hugh hockey fan. He loves it. Good service and quality. Thank You
Martinez, GA
Customer service was great, but I ordered sweatpants as well and they ran REALLY big. I purchased for an entire hockey team and everyone's pants were too large. Would have been good to know that before I ordered.
Fairfax, VA
Always on time and perfect! I have all good things to say. I go to the website its easy, if I need help I call and the service is great. I use CustomInk every year for my hockey league and its all good!
Levittown, PA
My employer has been using CustomInk for a while now to get special event shirts. So when the opportunity came up with my daughter's hockey team to order hoodies, I immediately recommended CustomInk. We were all pleased with how easy the process was from start to end. The product was delivered ahead of schedule and without any errors. I would use CustomInk again!
Rochester Racers Hockey,
Lake Orion, MI
The entire experience was very enjoyable. My biggest concern was length of time to turn the order around. I placed the final order on a Tuesday and had the product by Thursday. I am looking forward to surprising my Middle School hockey team following a game on 12/24 with the shirts as a little gift.
Grafton, MA
I know my wife called a couple times as the kid was grabbing clip art off the internet and it was copyrighted. You worked with her and the overall cost of shirts came down quite a bit to make it a "yes" decision rather than a "no" that's too much for a t-shirt for just you and your cousin. The cousins will have a blast wearing them during their own knee hockey tournament. Have a great Holiday season and New Year too. I might be calling upon your services in the future as the big kid likes to play too. (Dad)
Avon, NY
This is not about this order which was great, I placed three orders for three different types of items of items for my hockey team. What was an issue is that all the parents had to make three transaction to order the shirts, shorts and sweatpants. There should be some way to combine these into one trans action. If you could fix that the entire experience would have been perfect. If that could be fixed I would stop looking for other sites that provide one single transaction for different types of items.
NM Greenwave,
New Milford, CT
We are all extremely pleased with the quality of our shirts :) The printing, colors and sizing were all perfect! Customer service was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. Turn-around was even faster than expected - we received our shirts almost a week before we thought they would arrive!! Our entire hockey team (kids, parents & coaches) LOVE the CustomInk shirts! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!
Raleigh, NC
This is the second time I have used Custom Ink - it is easy to use. I wish there were more field hockey options available but. . .
Fredericksburg, VA
The design was a hit with my daughter's field hockey team. There was practically no wait to chat with someone online, and they were helpful, informative, and courteous.
Virginia Beach, VA
I had a friend pass away late on a Friday night. On Sunday I decided to order 350 shirts to give out at the funeral on Wednesday. CustomInk employees from start to finish were so respectful and helpful I couldn't believe it. It came down to the last few minutes possible to get the design done so it could be shipped on time. The shirt design turned out amazing and it came in Wednesday morning just in time for the funeral. Since I was in such a rush and unorganized I talked to several people. I wish I could remember all the names to thank them. The funeral took place in a hockey rink and it was full of people wearing these shirts. The pastor said he has never been a part of a more honoring funeral. In days following I have received more requested for the shirts and will be ordering more. Thank you so much CustomInk! Our friend was looking down on us with a big smile.

Mandan, ND

Coming of Age on Zoloft
Coming of Age on Zoloft
How Antidepressants Cheered Us Up, Let Us Down, and Changed Who We Are
Harper Perennial, Paperback, 9780062059734, 314pp.
Publication Date: June 5, 2012
When Katherine Sharpe arrived at her college health center with an age-old complaint, a bad case of homesickness, she received a thoroughly modern response: a twenty-minute appointment and a prescription for Zoloft--a drug she would take for the next ten years. This outcome, once unlikely, is now alarmingly common. Twenty-five years after Prozac entered the marketplace, 10 percent of Americans over the age of six use an SSRI antidepressant.
In Coming of Age on Zoloft, Sharpe blends deeply personal writing, thoughtful interviews, and historical context to achieve an unprecedented portrait of the antidepressant generation. She explores questions of identity that arise for people who start medication before they have an adult sense of self. She asks why some individuals find a diagnosis of depression reassuring, while others are threatened by it. She presents, in young people's own words, their intimate and complicated relationships with their medication. And she weighs the cultural implications of America's biomedical approach to moods.
"Intuitive and investigative, personal and historical, narrative-rich and fact-packed….Part of what makes this book riveting is the way Sharpe sets her own story within the larger context of cultural, social, and psychiatric changes that moved depression (along with other mental illnesses) into the medical spotlight."
"Sharpe is excellent at detailing the positives and negatives of these drugs … But she is best at probing broader societal issues … This is a fine book that nicely weaves together personal, sociological, and philosophical perspectives for a thoughtful view of how antidepressants are shaping many people's lives."
-Publishers Weekly
"A knowing account of what it is like to grow up on psychiatric medications....Balanced and informative--an education for any parent considering psychiatric medication for a troubled adolescent."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Beautifully written. . . . This is a book for anyone taking or thinking about taking antidepressants, anyone who prescribes them, anyone who wonders about their suitability-or anyone who wants a mirror held up to our time."
-Dr. David Healy, author of Let Them Eat Prozac
"A fascinating look at how drugs and trends have shaped the identities of individuals and of a generation-provocative without being sensationalistic, skillfully written, and totally necessary."
-Emily Gould, author And the Heart Says Whatever

A More Personalized Approach
The YMCA's program is the only one of its kind right now, but some other fitness facilities are also trying a more personalized approach.
24 Hour Fitness facilities across the country sell workout and nutrition packages based on short- and long-term goals, ranging from five sessions for $289 to 20 sessions for $999. Computers measure body fat and circumference, test metabolic rates, and design workouts and meal plans to help clients meet their goals.
"I've seen unbelievable changes in people," says Sandy DeBarbieri, fitness manager of a 24 Hour Fitness center in Austin, Texas. "I've seen people that go from zero knowledge to [being able to] train themselves."
Curves International, with its famed 30-minute workout, has based its business on a friendly, personal coaching style.
"The most important thing we do is build relationships with our members," says Cassie Findley, Curves' director of continuing education and research. "We know who our members are, we know who their grandkids are, and we know what they're making for Thanksgiving dinner."
In the center of each Curves' circuit of machines stands a fitness coach, evaluating members' form on the equipment, and offering help when needed. But the $29-a-month membership (higher in major cities) doesn't stop at the door.
"We ask members to work out three times per week," says Findley. "If we don't see them, we call, we send notes, we ask where they've been."

Permanent hair dyes use ammonia to force the hair's cuticle layer wide open to allow large color molecules inside. Unfortunately, that layer never gets back to its original smoothness (meaning it's left dull, dry, and frizzy). Now Garnier has come up with an ammonia-free permanent-color alternative that leaves hair less damaged. Using an ingredient called MEA (monoethanolamine), the company's Olia Oil Powered Permanent Haircolor, $10, at drugstores, raises the cuticle's cells only a tiny bit. Because the formula has an oil delivery system—a first on the at-home market—these natural oils literally propel the color pigments into the tight space, then coat to condition the hair. And one more thing: Ditching ammonia means no odor or burning sensation when the color touches your scalp.

Jenny's locker number is 18.
When Catty takes a picture of Dan and Amanda, Amanda's head is turned to Dan. But in the picture that Serena saw on GG site, Amanda's head is turned to camera.
Dan: So what are you going to do about Nate? You going to tell him?
Vanessa: How can I? He would most likely freak out.
Dan: Well there's no question about that.
Vanessa: And I can't confront Catherine because the butler will remember me.
Dan: And she'll drop the dime on the captain. Sorry it's the only chance I'll have to talk like that.
Jenny: Dad, how set are you on this whole going to school thing?
Rufus: Pretty set. Why?
Jenny: First day of school is draft day. Blair and her merry band of psychos are going to be on the terror. (Rufus and Dan look at each other, confused) They categorize girls into two groups: projects and victims. Girls who have potential to become little mini Blair-ites becomes projects and total losers and girls who could threaten social order become victims. I was a project last year and we all know how that turned out.(Rufus and Dan stare at her) What?
Rufus: Nothing.
Dan: Totally with you. (Jenny leaves)
Rufus: Did you understand any of that?
Dan: I'm so glad I'm not a girl.
Gossip Girl: Spotted: A beautiful blond phoenix rising from the ashes of a major public humiliation
Serena: Never again... From now on, everything goes through me.
Gossip Girl: Bow down or bow out? XOXO, Gossip Girl
Blair: Break ups are easy. It's having to see them date someone else that's hard. Why do you think I rub it in Chuck's face every chance I get?
Serena: A twisted version of foreplay?
Blair: Ignoring you.
Gossip Girl: Sorry lonely boy. Don't say we didn't try to warn you. But if Queen S would do this to D, are any of us safe?
Gossip Girl: Welcome back, Queen Serena. Consider us your humbled servants. Cause if looks could kill, we wouldn't want to be Dan Humphrey.
Blair: This girl is Dan with boobs.
Jenny: It was like I didn't even exist!
Dan: Mmm. Welcome to my world. It's not so bad when you get used to birds flying at your head and automatic doors never opening.
Blair: Hi! My name's Blair! You're new ...
Amanda: Hi, I'm Am-
Blair: Oh, that's not important. We'd like to invite you to lunch!
Dan: (to Vanessa) Google "revenge" and get blairwaldorf.com.
