It really came down to the manager. He was very rude and In turn The atmosphere was rather awful. The bathrooms were dirty and the one next to my room was half finished. The was also silly charges like just using the kettle for tea. I guess thats why i was the only one there.

Research InterestsDr. Chu's Lab Home Page
2010 Carnegie Science Awards Profile of Dr. Chu's Research
Cell Biology of Parkinson's Disease: Mitochondrial Quality Control, Kinase Signaling & Autophagy
Dr. Chu's research focuses on mechanisms of neurodegeneration and neuroprotection in Parkinson's and related neurodegenerative diseases. A major focus is delineating why adaptive cellular mechanisms fail to protect neurons. Molecular and biochemical studies in cell culture and mouse models are integrated with studies of diseased human brain tissues. Recent focus has shifted from cell death to mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control and neuritic/synaptic dysfunction at potentially reversible stages.
Work in the Chu laboratory indicates that pathogenic mechanisms related to five models of PD converge on dysregulation of mitochondrial kinase signaling and turnover by autophagy, the process by which cells sequester, degrade and recycle organelles. These include 6-OHDA and MPP+, two parkinsonian neurotoxins, and genetic models based on mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), a mitochondrial kinase, the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK 2), a membrane associated multidomain kinase, and ATP13A2, a lysosomal transporter by homology. Analysis of Parkinson disease and Lewy body dementia brain tissues reveal similar alterations in the localization and trafficking of phosphorylated kinases and transcription factors, associated with mitochondrial autophagy, in susceptible populations of neurons early in the disease process.
While there has been growing interest in therapeutic manipulation of autophagy, the potential beneficial or detrimental roles of autophagy in neuronal responses to parkinsonian injury remain undefined. Our work has led to the concept of "autophagic stress," in which imbalanced or excessive induction of autophagy contributes to neuronal dysfunction. We found that PINK1 is essential for maintaining well-functioning mitochondrial networks, and its loss of function results in mitochondrial ROS that triggers compensatory fission and mitophagy responses. Using phosphoproteomic mass spectrometry, we recently identified a novel phosphorylation site on the autophagy protein LC3, with important suppressive effects on neurite degeneration caused by either MPP+ or mutant LRRK2. We have further discovered that mutant LRRK2 causes early dysregulation of post-synaptic mitochondrial homeostasis and function that precede autophagic neurite degeneration. Current efforts include defining novel phosphorylation sites and signals that regulate selective mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis.
TechniquesProtein biochemistry, molecular cell biology, mass spectrometry and phospho-proteomics, quantitative RT-PCR, immunochemistry, multi-label confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, stereotactic brain injections, RNA interference.

We love high-watt girly glosses because they just make you look prettier. Period. Anastasia's HydraFull Gloss delivers a mega-dose of high shine as well as bright colors that look great on all skin tones. Best of all, the fantastic formula is good for your lips, fortifying and nourishing them with hydrating ingredients like jojoba oil and shea butter.
I purchased this gloss and the texture and color are perfect. It is so good, that I used it right down to the point where I was scraping it out of the tube!
The color of this gloss was SO pretty and I was really wanting to love the product. Although I like the color, the applicator puts me off. It is like a little shovel. I think the reasoning is that the idea is that it would be easier than a brush to top off a lip color if you are trying to layer. I think that is true...it is easy to put a bit of this on your lips when layering, but then it is really hard to spread out evenly. I was challenged with this applicator. Because of that, I don't find myself reaching for it.
The gloss is a creamy orange pink with a hint of shimmer. The company claims it is clinically proven to maximize and maintain lip hydration and fullness. The gloss is packed with brown algae and Balkan Botanical infusion to promote healthy lips. The gloss promises to smooth, firm, hydrate and improve the appearance of the skin. The color went on sheer and lasted for 15 to 20 minutes. It made my lips a bit soft for an hour and wore after that. Also, be sure to exfoliate otherwise the color might pool up on dry flaky skin. Overall, it is a mediocre gloss for $21.
This is a relatively non-sticky gloss that feels nice and moisturizing on the lips. The pigmentation of is sheer to moderate, which is good because any more pigment and the frosty shades would cross the line into 1980's time-warp. I personally am not fond of using the silicone paddle to apply directly on to my lips; I thought it applied too much gloss and was a little messy coming out of the tube.
As far as the "good for your lips" formula, I'd give that mostly a thumbs up. The amount of skin-identical oils and triglycerides do a nice job of keeping the lips hydrated with daily use. As far as plumping, I like that the formula includes peptides, which have been proven to stimulate collagen production, but find it odd that Anastasia chose to list pink purslane as a volumizer. The plant seems to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but I couldn't find any substantiation of the plumping claim. As far as other anti-oxidants, I'd prefer to see them in higher concentrations for a gloss that boasts them as a benefit.
All in all, this is a good product, if not on the pricey side for what it is.
This is the best lip gloss. The only thing i would change is the applicator. It is a hard flat surface instead of the typical brush you find on other lip glosses
i am more of a matte red girl. gloss just ain't my thang.
total miss for me. stop sending me gloss birchbox!
The paddle definitely takes some getting used to, but the gloss itself is excellent. I love the color and the tingle. It's my go-to gloss.
This gloss came to me in a pink color and that is not usually something I would wear. I decided to try it and I actually loved it. It is somewhat subtle leaving your lips with that pouty look but does have a high gloss.
I liked the applicator but that's about it. I didn't like the colour, but that was a personal preference. I didn't like the poor pigmentation and hated the fact that the gloss was incredibly sticky!
I love the color. I like the feel. But it smells kind of funny. I probably won't get it again because of that but I will enjoy the nice color while it lasts.

This is how much the water changed on J Street just south of 33rd Avenue from Thursday morning to Friday evening. We live close to here and it was shocking to see these businesses under water! These areas were part of the 500-year flood plain. However, as in the rest of the city, the water went much further. Notice the yellow sign in the pictures as a marker for water movement; that is Cedar Bend Tire. In the last picture it's a narrow yellow line above the water. The first RR crossing is about 1/2 block south of 36th Avenue and the second RR crossing sign is at Hawkeye Downs Road.

We take pride in offering our customers the best shopping experience and customer service possible, so if you cannot find the information you're looking for on this page, please contact us (toll-free) 1-866-767-4868. Design Consultants are available

Thank you for shopping PoshTots!
As a company founded by mothers, we understand the concerns and worries that come with ensuring the safety of your baby. When you are shopping with PoshTots, you can rest assured that you are investing in a thoughtful and safe experience for your child that lives up to the highest expectations of the CPSC, JPMA and mothers themselves.
As PoshTots moves into its 10th year as a purveyor of premiere children's furnishings, we would like to take a moment to comment on one of the pillars PoshTots stands on: safety. In light of all the recent attention on crib safety, and the subsequent recalls on select drop-sided cribs, we here at PoshTots would like to share our personal knowledge and experience about crib safety.
First, we would like to reassure you that we have not experienced any sort of recall on cribs offered by PoshTots. Select drop-side crib options can be found in our collection because the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards do not suggest that all drop-sided cribs are unsafe for your child. According to the CPSC and the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), the real danger lies not in the drop-side cribs themselves, but in the proper assembly of the cribs and the quality of materials used. According to Mike Dwyer, JPMA Executive Director,
"The safest place for a child is in a fully functional, properly assembled crib. Parents are urged to closely inspect the hardware and stability of their cribs to ensure all parts are in place and secure when assembling and re-assembling cribs."
The CPSC has released a new set of standards that outline the qualifications for a safe crib for your child. PoshTots, of course, only carries cribs approved by the CPSC. In addition to the CPSC standards, the JPMA has released a list of tips to help sustain the proper lifespan of your crib.
Many of our artisans offer cribs with stationary side rails. If you have questions about specific cribs' features or general questions about crib safety, we invite you to contact our Design Consultants. They are well versed in nursery design and also understand the safety concerns of expecting and new parents.
Please email [email protected] or call (toll-free) 1-866-767-4868.

Like all baby gear, baby slings are considered safe when used properly. Recently, the CPSC advised that special attention should be given to babies with respiratory problems, low birth weight and infants younger than four months. When nestled in their slings, infants' chins should not rest on their chests to maintain airflow for optimal breathing. If you have concerns about the use of a baby sling, please contact the CPSC or a trusted healthcare professional. Knowing when and how to use your sling is an important step towards ensuring your pint-sized sidekick's safety.» Read our Statement on Safety

While it´s nice that Jack Lew has been a budget director in the White House, he´s a poor choice for SecTreas given that he has zero financial education or financial management experience.It goes along with Obama´s selection of Hegel as SecDef. He has zero management experience of any real business or government entity.As the pundits are writing, Obama is picking guys because "he likes them". Which means to me that they are Obama toadies.
JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs must have given their ok. He´s very smart and partisan. It probably helps Republicans in a small way having him tied down at Treasury.
Sorry #1, but Jack Lew does have financial management experience, and that´s being charitable: see:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/14/jack-lew-obamas-omb-pick_n_645093.html
Isn´t he the person who had such a "dangerous background" we saw on conservative articles over the last 4 years? I seem to remember his name in a very socialist description - anyone else remember it? I believe this is a well rounded plan to destroy our Republic - Hagel,Lew,Clinton & Brennan. Coming fast y´all!

This is an impulse buy for me in a few days. I was originally going to get New Super Mario Bros Wii, but my girlfriend and i had a blast with the demo for L4D2, so thats where my money will go.
I played the original Left 4 Dead earlier this year, and i thought it was alright. I played online with one friend who isnt any fun playing coop games with at all, so i had an average experience. I was let down by the game and got bored after a few days. I downloaded the demo to give the second one a shot (since i live right near Savannah i figured this one might interest me), and my girlfriend tried it with me and she actually enjoyed it a lot, and i had a blast playing it with her. So i re-bought L4D1, we played the hell out of that the past 2 weeks, and now im getting L4D2 in a few days.
Only problem i have with L4D2 is that its basically an expansion pack marked as a sequel. It plays exactly the same way the first one did, plus new campaign, some new weapons, new characters, and thats it. L4D1 came out not even a year ago, and they are already making a sequel. That is just milking money out of the fans. Hopefully it wont turn into Guitar Hero, where everyone loved it, but they made so many people could care less anymore.

Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?
Thought the first one was average, played it with my brother for a few hours before I decided 'wow this is a LOT of repitition'. I just wish they had more variety of weapons.
I heard that L4D2 wasn't what it should have been, and the first one didn't impress me as much so I don't think I'll go for it. I prefer a bit more tactical than mindless slaughter which is why Modern Warfare 2 appeals more to me But I'm sure L4D1 wasn't considered game of the year for no reason at all ^^

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?
I won't buy it*, but I will go to GameFrog and play it on four person co-op (if they ever get their Steam working).
As I have said many times before, that game must be experienced by four people at four adjacent computers to be really, truly appreciated on the highest level. Lots of Mountain Dew and very loud muzak elevates it to a zen-like state. If you can reach a zen-like state while butchering the undead, I guess.
*: I don't mean to say that it will be bad, but simply that I have not the machinery nor the money to play it the way it should be played.

I like it. (But I am a sucker for the campy zombie horror flick and I didn't play the first one.)

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?
its a good game. few more weapons than the original, and melee weapons now (katana/machete owns).
its mostly a party game though, dont expect to get some longterm enjoyment out of it.
modern warfare 2 blows it away in every category.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?
L4D2 is one of my personal favorites. I play on Xbox if anyone wants play, hit me up and we can exchange gamertags. Anyway, when I'm not playing RPG's , I'm usually on L4D2 or MW3.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2 anyone?
It was okay. Nearly 40 hours of play for only $5 (Steam Sale) price tag. Lack of (any) story and repetitive maps got pretty boring, definitely tightened up though when the strategy of Expert difficulty came into play. Really had to analyze the game and yourself from the get-go, figure out your weaknesses and strengths, then apply them to the game. Melee weapons were a blast, I loved chopping down zombies with my fire while crouched in a corner (unless god forbid a smoker, tank, or charger appeared out of no where.) With the Steam Workshop now integrated to the game, I can see at least another 20 hours to be squeezed out from custom campaigns (like Helms Deep or Back to School maps in particular.)

Gruber Cosmology Prize 2007
|In 2007 the prize was presented to Saul Perlmutter and Brian Schmidt and their teams: the Supernova Cosmology Project and the High-z Supernova Search Team, independently discovered that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. Their discovery led to the idea of an expansion force, dubbed dark energy. And it suggested that the fate of the universe is to just keep expanding, faster and faster.
An accelerating universe was a crazy result that was hard to accept. Yet, two teams, racing neck and neck, simultaneously came to the same conclusion. Their discovery led to the idea of an expansion force, dubbed dark energy. And it suggests that the fate of the universe is to just keep expanding, faster and faster.
The two teams expected to find that the universe would either expand then contract, or it would expand for ever but slowing over the millennia. But there were a growing number of hints that all was not right with the theories of the time.
To find out, they not only needed to be able to measure the speed with which distant objects are traveling away from us, but also how far away they are. And to do this they needed standardized light sources — very bright ones that would be visible to Earth-based telescopes despite being billions of light years away and billions of years old.
The standard light sources they used were exploding stars — in particular Type Ia supernovae. But finding them wasn't easy. Then the analyses over the results turned up very surprising results. "The data wasn't behaving as we thought it would," says Schmidt. "There was a lot of nervous laughter," says Perlmutter. For both teams it was not what they were expecting. For months they both tried to figure out where they had gone wrong, searching for any tiny source of error. But the data was right. The accepted model of the universe was wrong.
Today Perlmutter, Schmidt and their colleagues continue to explore the implications of their work. Schmidt is planning the SkyMapper project, a telescope to map the southern sky. Perlmutter is working on a satellite mission that would study supernovae and the nature of dark energy.
The $US500,000 prize will be shared in four parts: by Schmidt — at the Australian National University; Saul Perlmutter — at the University of California, Berkeley; and the fifty-one co-authors of the key papers (Saul Perlmutter and the Supernova Cosmology Project Team from Australia, Chile, France, Spain, Sweden, UK and USA; and for the High-z Supernova Search Team: Brian Schmidt and his team from the USA, UK, Germany, Chile and Australia).
The key papers reporting their discoveries were Riess et al., 1998, AJ, 116, 1009, "Observational Evidence from Supernovae for an Accelerating Universe and a Cosmological Constant"
Perlmutter et al. 1999, ApJ, 517, 565, "Measurements of Omega and Lambda from 42 High-Redshift Supernovae"

8 great moments in pope technology
An earlier version of this article misstated the date Pope John XXIII died and the chronology of the Second Vatican Council. The article has been updated.
Pope Benedict XVI tweets: 2012
When it comes to technology, popes tend not to be early adopters. But over the years, pontiffs have ultimately chosen to embrace the man-made marvels of their day. Monday marked the most recent instance of holy tech, when Pope Benedict XVI set up a Twitter account with the handle @Pontifex, the Latin word for pope. The pope already has 234,000 followers, but is unlikely to match the number of Beliebers (as Justin Bieber's fans are known) anytime soon. Popes use technology when it helps to "strengthen the Catholic community around the world," says James Clement van Pelt, the program coordinator of the Initiative of Religion, Science & Technology at Yale University. And right now "Twitter is the most direct way of distributing the ideology and theology of the church," he says. Here is a timeline of popes embracing technology. — Quentin Fottrell

We serve lunch Monday-Friday from 11:30am-2:30pm.
It seems like every time you turn a corner, there's a new restaurant in San Diego, but few openings have been as eagerly anticipated as Searsucker's expansion to Del Mar. Ever since we opened our first location in 2010, Searsucker has been recognized nationwide for its social dining experience and the innovative flavors that inspire its dishes. It was only a matter of time before Brian Malarkey brought his New American Classic cuisine to the residents of North County. The location features some of the same comfortable and warm interior elements fans will recognize from downtown, but boasts a large outdoor patio, koi pond, fire pit, and sprawling back bar. Now you can satisfy your Searsucker cravings without having to drive downtown!

The Albright Knot
The Albright Knot is most commonly used for joining monofilament lines of unequal diameters, for attaching fly line backing to the fly line, for creating shock leaders, and when a Bimini Twist is tied in the end of the lighter casting line. It can also be used for connecting monofilament to wire.
|1. Bend a loop in the tag end of the heavier monofilament and hold between thumb and forefinger of left hand. Insert the tag end of the lighter monofilament through loop from the top. Pull the standing part of the heavy mono and the standing part of the light mono.
|2. Slip tag end of lighter monofilament under your left thumb and pinch it tightly against the heavier strands of the loop. Wrap the first turn of the lighter monofilament over itself and continue wrapping toward the round end of the loop. Take at least 12 turns with the lighter monofilament around all three strands
|3. Insert tag end of the lighter monofilament through end of the loop from the bottom. It must enter and leave the loop on the same side.
|4. With the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, slide the coils of the lighter monofilament toward the end of the loop; stop 1/8" from end of loop. Using pliers, pull the tag end of the lighter mono tight to keep the coils from the slipping off the loop.
|5. With your left hand still holding the heavier mono, pull on the standing part of the lighter mono. Pull the tag end of the lighter mono and the standing part a second time.
|Trim both tag ends & you're done!

Jose Mourinho stressed he was pleased with his team's performance on Wearside tonight, but was left to rue missed chances as we exited the Capital One Cup.
The manager admitted he was frustrated to exit a competition that had given some of the lesser-used members of his squad some valuable playing time, particularly in the dramatic circumstances in which we lost tonight.
Despite the loss, Mourinho emphasised he has no desire to change our style of football, even if it is not always getting us the desired results...
'We want this team to play the way we are playing,' Mourinho said.
'We want this team to have evolution but based on the way we are playing at the moment we have to finish opponents and we need goals to do that.
'Maybe the way to rectify it is to not concede goals and to have a different approach, to be more defensive, concede fewer goals and win matches with the few goals we score - but that's not what I want.
'We are going in one direction which is the right direction in terms of the quality of football we want to play, so it would be quite frustrating to change that, take a step back and go in another direction just because we want better results.'
Mourinho said he was sad to exit a competition that has been kind to him in the past…
'It's a competition that looks like it is not important - it's cold, the stadium is not full, you play far from home. But, when you reach the final, you feel it as a nice competition you want to win.
'The players got the message because their attitude and ambition was good and they tried to play. They knew that I would go to the end of the competition with the players that had played more, like Mark Schwarzer and Kevin De Bruyne, so it's a pity that players like them can't play in the semi-finals and the finals. I feel sorry for these guys.'

Do you have a bladder tank or one with an air volume control? The AVC on my precipitation tank needs to be cleaned periodically. Due to the high GPM flow during backwash, the pressure will drop a little lower than the pump kick-in setting which lowers the water in the tank enough to release air into the water stream.
As a test, turn off the power to the pump and drain the tank a few PSI below the kick-in to see if air releases.

Lately I've been asking retailers a key question about mobile commerce. Who rules mobile shopping: Apple or Android? I keep getting the same answer. It's Apple, by a mile.
This is important in light of the fact that smartphones running Google Inc.'s Android mobile operating system far outpace Apple Inc.'s iPhone in terms of smartphone market share. Android phones account for 52.5% of smartphones in use while iPhones account for 34.3%, according to mobile and web measurement firm comScore Inc. On the other side of mobile, Apple dominates the tablet market. The iPad has a 76.4% market share, according to research firm eMarketer Inc. Android and a handful of other players account for the remaining 23.6%.
Cory Pulice, vice president of e-commerce at e.l.f. cosmetics, was kind enough to open up his Google Analytics for me and he tells the real story in m-commerce. At e.l.f. cosmetics, from Oct. 1 through Dec. 16, 69.02% of mobile traffic came from devices running Apple's iOS mobile operating system while 29.25% came from Android smartphones and tablets. Revenue numbers are even more telling. For the same period, 78.59% of mobile sales stemmed from an iOS device while only 20.74% came from an Android device. Apple's iPad rules e.l.f. cosmetics' mobile sales with a 49.50% share. No Android tablets break into the top 10 devices at e.l.f. cosmectics, and the device in the No. 10 slot for revenue gets a 0.42% share, so it's fair to deduce that the share belonging to Android tablets is small.
According to comScore, Android commands the smartphone market. But look at e.l.f. cosmetics: The iPhone accounts for 27.48% of mobile sales while the nearest competing Android smartphone, the Motorola Droid Razr 4G, accounts for a mere 0.78% of mobile sales. Since we know that 20.74% of revenue came from an Android device, I would cut three or four percentage points off for Android tablets and say that 17% of mobile sales came from all Android smartphones combined, compared with 27.48% coming from the iPhone alone.
Let's look around. 22.5% of web-only jeweler Ice's total traffic is mobile; 14% from smartphones and 8.5% from tablets, Ice says. More than 70% of mobile traffic stems from an Apple device.
Owners of the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod Touch are the most lucrative mobile shoppers for Wine.com. More than 90% of mobile sales stem from an Apple device, CEO Rich Bergsund says.
"It's about our demographic," Bergsund explains. "The Wine.com demographic is an affluent and educated group, and that's the sweet spot for mobile devices Apple sells. They charge a premium and they are worth it, and those consumers are our demographic. Plus, the user interface is easier on Apple than other platforms; most mobile sites work better on an iPhone than on other alternatives."
Let's go across the pond and check on Apple and Android. During the last week of November beginning Nov. 25, 43.48% of mobile traffic to the U.K. affiliate network of Affiliate Window was from iPads, 32.46% from iPhones, 18.29% from Android devices, 1.62% from BlackBerrys and 4.15% from other mobile devices, Affiliate Window reports. January through November, 59% of mobile sales came from iPads, 24% from iPhones, 12% from Android devices, 3% from BlackBerrys and 2% from other mobile devices, Affiliate Window says. That gives Apple a commanding 83% share of mobile sales.
"Apple users are typical early adopters. They're generally tech-savvy individuals who embrace new ways of interacting and transacting online," says Kevin Edwards, strategy director at Affiliate Window. "Given the higher purchase barrier to entry for iPhones this tends to indicate users have higher disposable incomes. It may be purely anecdotal but there is also a sense that Apple users are more comfortable and confident shoppers who don't have the same reservations when buying online. I think this also extends to the iPad. We typically see conversion rates for the iPad outstrip standard desktop rates coupled with higher average order values, making the traffic and consumer particularly attractive to retailers."
OK, back to the States. 50% of total HauteLook traffic now stems from mobile devices, says Greg Bettinelli, chief marketing officer. 55% of that traffic is from smartphones while 45% is from tablets. 50-55% of mobile traffic comes from iPhones, 40-45% from iPads, and less than 5% from Android devices.
"Tablet transactions are on average 50% bigger than ones on iPhones," Bettinelli says. "If we make $2 for every person on an iPhone, we make $2.50 for desktop users and $3 for iPad shoppers. An iPad is a pre-qualifier for a better customer, a lot of our better customers have iPads. I can't say it's fully because of the device. The device is a good experience, but it's not that much better than the computer, so it's as much about the customer who uses that device. An iPad is an indicator of the quality of a customer."
That goes for iPhones and iPod Touch devices, too. Any Apple device is an indicator of a higher quality customer. These consumers shop more and they buy more. In my opinion, Apple users are more dedicated to the mobile web and apps. They're buying a premium device not to talk on a phone but to make extensive use of wireless data services, in other words, to browse the web and use apps. And they have more disposable income than Android users. Just look at the difference in how the phones are marketed. If you want an iPhone, be prepared to spend at least $200. On the flipside, wireless carriers are giving away Android phones if you sign a contract. You've got Android smartphones in the hands of some people who don't even care what kind of phone they've got, as long as it was free.

Butler, a four time cancer survivor, has penned a book, "I've Got to Get Something Off My Chest." Proceeds from the sale of books and T-shirts will go to Venecia's Foundation, a nonprofit organization, to help those suffering from cancer in this area.
"It was really nice to see the community come together," said Amy Reaves Daley of Swank. "The blood drive was a great time for people to come by and meet Venecia. We had a wonderful turnout."
Some who gave blood had made appointments and didn't have to wait. Many didn't make appointments and had to wait up to two hours. One such donor was Davey Higginbotham, 19. Higginbotham lives in Jacksonville and is a 2012 graduate of Piedmont High School.
Higginbotham and his brother, Nicolas, 15, were in town with their mother, Audrey Fuqua. While she was shopping, her sons headed toward the library. On the way, they noticed a group of people who were signing up to donate their blood. Higginbotham told his brother it was the right thing for him to do.
"I told my brother that I wanted to do some good today," said Higginbotham. "I told him I was going to go in there and give blood. I waited two hours, but I didn't mind waiting."
Fuqua said her son is usually nervous when he has to have shots, but he wasn't nervous Friday.
"I was stunned because he hates needles," she said. "Every time he goes to the doctor and has to have shots, he turns white as a sheet. When he told me what he did, I was proud of him."
Butler said she has personally experienced the seemingly endless misery of cancer treatments, and her goal is to brighten the day of those in treatment by sharing her faith and love. Her foundation gives gift bags that include items such as soft blankets, comedy DVDs, chapstick, gift cards, journals, crosswords puzzles, eye drops, sugar-free gum, peppermints, soft toothbrushes, queasy drops, Lubriderm lotion, neck wraps, and hydrating socks, to chemo patients.
Butler knows from personal experience that these are the things that help a chemo patient. She has spoken to over 30 audiences, including churches, women's conferences, youth groups and Piedmont High School's baccalaureate. Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com for speaking engagements.
Butler's books can be purchased at Salon Anon in Jacksonville, Dr. Benjamin Ingram's office and Solid Rock Café in Piedmont, Odyssey in Centre and Colours in Oxford. They can also be purchased by sending a check for $15 to Butler at P. O. Box 572, Piedmont 37262. T-shirts are $20.

180 Spear St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410537.791391 -122.393040
Mon-Fri 9am-9pm
Neighborhoods: South Beach, Central East
Editorial Review – Italian restaurant serves pasta, antipasti, soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch and dinner. Carry-out and catering available.
Best service, price, food... – What a nice place to eat. The owner goes out of his way to serve you and make sure that you are happy. I really recommend this place. I am a very hard person to please when it comes to service and food and this is my first time leaving a review for anything. I am taking the time to write this, check this place out.
It's a must!!!
Bland and Bad Service – This place is not worth a visit. From the outside it looks nice and worthwhile, however this is not the case. Pasta is not too hard to make, but Paradiso successfully will take your $10 for a bowl of bland pasta. I ordered the Fettuccini Carbonata which is supposed to have red peppers, egg, ham, and parmasian... but what I got was a bowl of over cooked pasta, bland alfredo sauce, and a few pieces of bacon.
In addition, the service was poor. The waiters were climbing over other people's seats to serve food. Obviously this place is not big enough to serve & eat.
If you're looking for Italian, check elsewhere.
-A Financial District Resident
Fun place with fantastic food and servic – we were so pleased with the service, the food, the ambience and can say that it is our favorite casual and fun restaurant Among the excellent dishes we had, 3 were just fantastic: the grilled chicken special, the grilled salmon and Penne a la Vodka.
Job well done!
Lovely ladies! – I do enjoy the food, the service and especially the ladies at lunch. It has become my hangout to relax, eat well, listen to good music and enjoy seeing those lovely ladies at lunch. It is the perfect place for a late breakfast business meeting before the busy lunch where sometimes one waits for a table or takes out.
best choice and quality – Incredible choice: from the penne alla vodka to the penne rustica to the fettucine paradiso and the polpette, the chickenpesto, the roasted chicken, the sauteed mussels, etc... and this is without counting the daily specials and the subsitutions the friendly staff will promptly execute! You can specify hotter if you like or milder (great for kids). The price is unbeatable and the service so friendly you feel right at home: actually you will fast see the same people coming back again and again!
Excellent service – We hosted a birthday party at this restaurant and were very pleased. The service was impeccable, the food was very tasty and our guests were quite impressed.
the ysaved te day – I was sick and had to stay home. I got a great menu selection online, the lady on the phone, Dorianne was so helpful. I got my dinner and soup within 40 minutes. Thank you Pasta Paradiso!
Watery and Bland – WOW, there are a lot of 9s and 10s for a place so consistantly inconsistant. While a select few dishes are always good, most pasta dishes we've tried (tomato, cream, and rosa) have been watery and flavorless. Even the day's specials! They are very nice there, but it doesn't seem they taste test a recipe, or even follow one.
PARADISE IN SAN FRANCISCO – I eat out all the time therefore I am always searching for a restaurant that offers the best quality for a fairly reasonable price. I have found it and it is Pasta Paradiso.
Where can you find a DELICIOUS N.Y. steak sandwich with a side salad for $7? and the homemade Tiramisu is out of this world. I am addicted and in paradise!

"The wedding programs turned out great & the quality of the paper was really good! I was amazed at how fast that we recieved the programs in the mail! The only part of the program that I did not like is that the back is blank and that you cannot add any photos. Otherwise, this is a great program, thanks for doing such a great job paper divas!"
"I was having trouble purchasing this item. The website kept telling me it was down. I used the chat feature and a very nice gentleman helped me place the order and ensure everything was done correctly. I received the order in the mail very quickly, and then to top it off, HE sent ME a Thank You note for allowing him to help me out. That is customer service that goes above and beyond! I will recommend everyone I know to use the products on this site. We have ordered many things for our wedding and have been impressed with all of them!"
"The quality of the card is beautiful. Everyone who has seen the program has remarked on the quality and design. We had wanted a specail note added to the back of the program which they were able to do without any problem. We were very happy!"
"The ordering process was easy and I got the programs almost a week before they were scheduled to be delivered! Also, they look amazing! Quality product."
"Nice selection of fonts. Pearl shimmer paper is great. Thick enough paper without being too thick. Printing quality was excellent. People have seen the program and love it. I, the bride, am quite happy with it, which we all know is what's most important. LOL"

E-Learning (2014)
In 2014, CLINIC will offer an expanded menu of e-learning courses. These e-learning courses offer flexibility – much of the work can be done anytime during the week when the student chooses to do it. In contrast with CLINIC's in-person trainings, learning in the online courses relies primarily on individual study and practice rather than on lecture and group learning. The e-learning courses involve a blend of self-directed learning and interaction with both the instructors and the other course participants. The courses last either four or six weeks, and students may do the course work on their own schedules. Students learn by taking part in weekly webinars; completing reading assignments, exercises, and other activities; and sharing ideas with each other in online discussion forums. Each weekly live webinar is recorded and posted on the course website shortly after the webinar is concluded, so course participants who can't make the live webinar may view the recorded webinar at any time.
To tour a course website and learn more about the components of an e-learning course, please view the video in the corner of your screen. To ensure the video's clarity, please select the "HD" option from the webinar playbar.
In 2014, CLINIC will offer the following E-learning courses:
