Oregano is an aromatic herb that is very popular in Mexico. It has a wide array of tasteful, practical and functional uses that make it popular in local dishes as well as for therapeutic and wellness uses. Known to have strong anti-bacterial properties, oregano inhibits the growth of many kinds of bacteria. Moreover, it is a powerful source of many antioxidant vitamins. As such it is thought to have positive benefits in strengthening the immune system and possibly slowing down the aging process.
At Esencia, oregano is one of the many herbs we grow in our gardens. Both Aroma Spa and Sal y Fuego Restaurant use fresh oregano from the gardens because of its many benefits.
At Aroma, oregano is featured in the Ritual de Aromas Mágicos. This ritual consists of aromatherapy and a relaxing massage done with small bags of "chia" seeds and oregano leaves combined with creative botanical essence synergies to calm your mind and body. Oregano is used in this treatment for its anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antiseptic properties. The Ritual de Aromas Mágicos is the perfect massage for guests looking to relax and find inner peace.
At Sal y Fuego, fresh oregano is used in the regional dish, Cochinita Pibil. This traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dish from the Yucatán Peninsula is served as a Chef's special during the holidays and on special occasions. Chef Bernardo describes the preparation required to make this delicious dish.
We cook on the loins of the earth. We excavate a hole approximately 29 inches in the ground, and place hot stones inside in order to turn the hole into a ground oven. Later we burn green firewood, known in the region as 'havin', on the open cavity turning it into a 662°F oven.
Meanwhile, we marinate the pig with organic achiote diluted in the juice of bitter oranges, fresh oregano from our garden, tomato, xcatic pepper, salt, pepper, green tomatoes, and wild epazote leaves. Banana leaves (also from our garden) are used to line the ground oven and prevent contamination from the earth. Next we bury the marinated pig in a mud casserole for 3 hours.
We place fresh wood crosspieces and cover it with chavín leaves and banana leaves to preserve the aroma of the leaves. Later we remove the pig from the earth furnace, careful not to contaminate the earth.
Cochinita Pibil is served with a lot of onions marinated in bitter orange and habanero pepper in fresh corn tortillas.

733 Briley Parkway, Nashville, TN | Directions 3721736.142154 -86.699782
They really are the best in the area. Their rooms are affordable and surprisingly cheap. I love the services that come with the rent as well.
Disappointed :( – I planned a surprise overnight stay for my husband's birthday in January 2012. The website looked fun, and I purchased the Valentine's Special to add to our special evening.
Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty place and has a neat vibe when you first walk in. However, overall I was pretty disappointed in our experience for the amount I paid. The flower petals were fake (which I could have purchased myself) and the candles were cheap-looking and battery operated. Upon arriving in our room, we opened a cabinet to find three empty condom boxes.
Needless to say we inspected the rest of the room for "ickies" but it was fairly clean otherwise. But I couldn't help but feel a little gross sleeping on that bed afterwards. ha! And whoever said that the hotel is "worlds away" from the airport is a little off...we found the nearby runway very distracting. We ordered a room service breakfast, which was great. Lots of food and tasted great.
We won't use Hotel Preston again, simply because I don't fee you are getting what you pay for. It's a fun concept, though!
Loved the food ar the restaurant – My husband and I stayed at this hotel before our flight to Chicago. The capreses salad was better at this hotel than any we had in Chicago! And the whole meal was the same. Chef Danny came out to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The hotel could improve on the comfort of the beds but other than that it was a nice stay.
Terrible Stay – We could not get a hot shower, our phones were not working so we could not call down to tell them what was going on. Had to get dressed to let them know. We also had disgusting towels. I expected a much nicer hotel. Maybe it was nice at one time but not anymore. I would not stay here again and would advise others to stay at another hotel.
Horrible Hotel Experience – I found Hotel Preston on the internet and liked the rate and that it was close to everything. It smelled like smoke! The pool had about 5 lounge chairs and it was located about 100 feet from a bad neighborhood. My car was even vandalized in their parking lot. I will never stay there again and advise anyone even thinking of it to pay an extra 50 bucks for a nicer hotel, it will be worth it.
The worst experience I've had in a long time! – We stayed there for a Photography workshop since that is where the workshop was. When we arrived, we checked in and were taken to our room. On the walk from the elevator to our room, we heard several LOUD dogs barking. It seemed every door we walked by had a bark. We went down to ask to be moved to another floor and on our way ran into several others who had already asked to move. We were told we had to come down to the front desk to move! Went down there, and while we were waiting to get room assignment changed, the girl answers the phone and spends 10 minutes with another guest describing wines (shouldn't his call be sent to room services to answer??) So finally after standing there for 10 minutes, we finally get our room key. They don't even offer to move our bags! We had to - we originally tipped a bellboy to take our luggage to our room!
So then while in the morning workshop a ceiling tile falls on someone - I kid you not!
Tried to have dinner and they forgot our order! We finally had to hunt someone down and got our food after waiting over an hour! They still didn't wait on us after that! We never got our dessert and finally just walked out! Another couple left after waiting for someone to take their order - they had been there over 30 minutes!
All of the hotel staff was slovenly dressed - especially the front desk manager and all were very inexperienced! I will be telling the workshop coordinator of my experience, I know several others who were just as upset. The look of the hotel is very unique. It's just a shame that they don't have any management that can train the employees to do their jobs properly! I will not stay here again! I come to Nashville often and if the service was up to par - would have liked to stay here again. As it is, I don't think that will happen...Go somewhere else if you want to enjoy your stay!
Beautiful, stylish, clean, and comfortable – This place has gone through a transformation over the past year sometime because I didn't even recognize this place when I checked in. I like all of the changes, especially the artwork around the lobby area and the lounge and restaurant have a really nice feel to them. The rooms are as big as ever. I really like the extras they bring to you if you request them--like the specialty pillows, a fish, lava lamp or a board game etc. Very clean establishment and well maintained. Large pool that is very well kept--maybe the best I've seen. My only complaint would be the smallish bathtub. Overall, a great value.
Renovations are a pain... – Unfortunately, my husband and I chose this hotel to stay in the night of our wedding. It's close to the airport, offers a free shuttle, and held my dress for me until my maid of honor could pick it up the next day. We thought it might be a decent choice since they have the "Oooey Gooey Package" for honeymooners, and we didn't want to spend a ton of money since we were on our way to a fabulous honeymoon in Belize. Sadly, the hotel was really torn up from renovations. The water faucet wasn't working properly, and the phone was really bad. We asked for a wake-up call at 6 a.m., and the wake-up call called us 5 times. Everytime it called, it was an automated system and it was overlapping with another phone line. We could hear someone talking on the phone as well as the wake-up call. We finally just unplugged the phone. We were pretty aggrivated with our whole experience there. The only good thing we can say is the bed was comfortable and the "Ooey Gooey Package" came with Godiva chocolates, wine, and a funny little Kama Sutra box we got a good laugh out of. I wouldn't exactly recommend this hotel to anyone...
Very trendy, modern hotel – My girlfriend and I decided to spend a night away from the house and chose this hotel based on the modern pictures provided. Based on the pictures, the hotel looked a lot different than most - in a good way. We were a little skeptical based on its location since Briley Pkwy has always been mess in the past years. We loved everything about this hotel. The staff was very courtious. Everything from the lobby to the halls and room were very modern and trendy. The room was very stylish. It was your average size room, but decorated very nice. We especially like the fact that we needed a room key to operate the elevator, and on that note, the elevator was our favorite ever!! We requested a room away from the elevator on our floor, and that is exactly what we received - at the end of the hall. We loved the layout of the floor our room was on. It wasn't just a straight hallway that kids could run up and down. The layout definitely was a plus as it helps reduce the amount of noise with people entering and exiting their rooms and getting off the elevator - this has always been a negative for us with other hotels. I highly recommend this hotel.
Best airport hotel ever! – My boyfriend and I like to fly out of Nashville to save money, so we needed a place to crash the night before our flight. We saw the hotel from the interstate and decided to give it a try. The girls at the front desk were so welcoming, and they told us about this package where we can leave our car at their hotel for only $5 a night to avoid paying the crazy parking prices at the airport. They even have a free shuttle to and from the airport! The room was awesome! They have Aveda bath products, so now I don't have to carry my own with me when I go to Nashville. We love going out in Nashville, so the awesome girl at the front desk called us a cab and told us about some fun places to have some drinks on a Monday night. It only took about 10 minutes to get to the Broadway area. We slept great, our wake up call was on time, and the shuttle driver was standing next to the van ready to take us to the airport in the morning. We liked it so much, we almost stayed another night at the Preston when we flew back into town. Too bad we had to go back to work...We definitely found a new favorite place to stay at the Hotel Preston!!!

Read A Sample Chapter Chapter 1Chapter 6Chapter 8Chapter 10
The only one you can deceive forever is yourself. But what kind of victory is it to deceive a fool?
When there were no roads, you had to stop traveling at night -- so you had time to think, pray, and converse. Nowadays you can travel day and night; there is no peace!
The world of the Chassidim is full of such pithy, often mysterious, expressions that can be the topic of a long essay. There are no long essays here -- only short, but fascinating observations, based on the comments of mystics who were incredibly down to earth and right on target.
Spirituality and Chassidism are in these days, but you need someone who understands their world and their terminology. Someone who can navigate their sayings and apply them to our life.
That someone is Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski M.D. -- and in this book we have the good fortune to enjoy him as he combines both worlds.
He is a master thinker, writer, and communicator. He has proven it in thirty books (so far) -- and in this one he is at the height of his powers.
Abraham J. Twerski M.D. is a psychiatrist and ordained rabbi. He is the founder of the Gateway Rehabilitation Center in Pittsburgh, a leading center for addiction treatment, and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. A prolific author on a variety of topics, Dr. Twerski has written four books in collaboration with the late Charles Schultz, creator of Peanuts.

Rolex is one of the most highly esteemed names in the watch business. When you have a Rolex on your wrist you not only have style and class, you also have the ultimate status symbol. I had received a Rolex as a gift and couldn't be happier with it. Until, it started not working properly. I took it in to have it serviced by a certified Replica Rolex dealer and they told me that I did not have a real One but a cheap imitation.What are the Replica Breitling Watches?
Swiss replica watches have always been a symbol of success, security and wealth and power. Made by well known manufacturers they are recognized as masterpieces of art all over the world. Such watches give you the same quality for better price. And anyway replica watches are precise copies of the original Swiss watches, so even connoisseurs can't make a difference. You can buy best replicas in our store, so you don't have to look for other options - you'll definitely find fakes of poor quality and design. True watch give you the same feeling of self-confidence and power as the genuine one.Rolex Replica Watches and Fake Watches
Do you know the difference between replica and fake? They are absolutely different - replicas are made following the technology and design of the genuine Swiss watches whereas fake is always a fake. Our suppliers copy Rolex watches as precisely as possible - so the resemblance is just amazing. Replicas from our shop look the same and work the same as the original Swiss watches. Don't surf the web, looking for cheaper models - the only thing you will find is fake and designer fakes. Buy quality omega replica watches from us. Cheap models, you will find in other stores, are always Swiss fake watch.
The crystal is formed to have a natural oscillation at around 32,000Hz. These oscillations generate small electrical signals which are 'divided down' by the circuit within the watch to the required frequency (usually seconds) and translated into pulses which are sent to the watch display or a motor ...

I'm trying to build my first iOS app that uses the touch SDK, but the current version available for download has not been updated for ARC and iOS5.
I can manually clean up the autorelease and dealloc issues, but there are some other issues (like bridged casting) that are a bit more complex, and I'd prefer to use official supported code than my best guess at what needs to happen.
iOS5 has been out for a while now. Is there an update scheduled?
- Steve Linberg
(sorry about the spastic screen name, which apparently can't be changed once it's (mistakenly) entered)
The SDK does not use the ARC setting and we don't plan to change that. If you want to enable that setting in your project feel free to do so and modify the SDK code and remove the retain and release calls.
We are not aware of any iOS5 issues with the SDK at this time. Can you give details on what is not working for you when building with the iOS5 SDK?
Also, please elaborate on what you mean by "bridged casting"?
-Tom Ruark
- Photoshop Developer Support
Hi Tom, thanks for your reply.
I hope that at some point you'll revisit your stance on ARC... it's the way forward from Apple's perspective, and they have it enabled on all new projects by default; there are good reasons to use it. Of course, you're not bound by their design philosophy, but there will probably come a point where ARC is mandatory under XCode, at which point the Adobe SDK may not be usable anymore. Anyway, that's all conjecture, no point in grinding on it now.
Converting the SDK to ARC is not as simple as just removing the retain and releases, although of course that's part of it. I did a few hours of that and it eliminated one category of errors, but there were many more that were a lot more difficult. Part of the issue is that you're using some open-source code (I believe) that was written in 2009 or earlier, and all of THAT needs to be corrected as well, and some of the socket/network and security code - like Peter Bakhyryev's NetConnection.m/.h in psconnection/networking, is especially complex. I tried to find some updated examples of that code that would work in the project, but it seems like some of it changed in ways that may not work well with the original SDK. (I admit I'm a little out of my depth at the sockets level.)
Bridged casting is needed for Core Foundation code, as in:
CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost(kCFAllocatorDefault, (__bridge CFStringRef)(myServerName), 49494, &readStream, &writeStream);
inputStream = (__bridge NSInputStream *) readStream;
outputStream = (__bridge NSOutputStream *) writeStream;
To be honest, I had never heard of bridged casting until I had to get this code to compile and had to learn enough to get it going. It's related to memory management and I had to make a guess that this was the correct variant. I did manage to get enough code going to allow a connection to PS to happen and to successfully transmit some simple commands, by removing release/retain and using this bridged casting mode when needed, but it's probably a fairly small subset of the overall kit's potential functionality. Maybe it'll be enough for what I need right at the moment, but I guess we'll have to see how it works going forward.
Here's a stackoverflow thread with a bridged casting issue:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6725558/cast-of-objective-c-pointer -type-nsstring-to-c-pointer-type-cfstringref-a
To be clearer, the problematic issues are related to ARC and probably not iOS5 specifically. But trying to integrate the whole networking library (as the documentation for the kit instructs) into an existing project that had ARC on was a real nightmare. I even tried disabling ARC on the networking library files individually with the -fno-obj-arc, but that didn't solve the problem, some ARC issues persisted and I didn't know how to solve them. :/
(As an aside, can you feed the Forum Gods and undo my idiotic "msubzbbvsj" screen name? Either clear it, or set it to "slinberg" or "Steve Linberg" or something sensible like that? I didn't realize I was creating anything when I accidentally typed that, and it looks like I can't change it myself.)
Let me look into all that..thanks for the details.
In the meantime you should be able to fix your name. Here is some information:

Fantastic Date Place – The perfect date place. The perfect wine place.
This was the first place I have ever been that had the wine store concept going on. What is this you ask? Picture a wine store, full of every type of wine imaginable, white, red, champagne, Italian, American, french, and any other worthy variety. Now picture tables around the perimeter of the store, with nice views of all the wine in between. And what would you pay to sit and enjoy great food, while drinking some of the fine wine around you? What if I told you that the wine was priced at about the same you would pay at a grocery store - just grab a bottle, bring it to your table and pay $5 to open it.
I had a bottle of Camus that would be $375 at Morton's - I paid $100 for it here! Don't worry, you don't have to pay $100 for a bottle, you don't even have to pay $20 for a bottle, there are hundreds to choose from.
Now the food. There is a great selection of food, from Baked Brie to spectacular boneless Beef Ribs. A great start is an order of mussels bathed in garlic broth. Order a glass of champagne, it will go well with the mussels.
I could go on and on about the food, but I recommend you explore the options on your own. You really can't go wrong with this place, it truly is fantastic.

A wonderful experience – The decor and atmosphere are informal, but the "cozy" feeling and the phenomenal food on a cold (for SoCal) winter night was out of this world.
Great Concept, Average Execution – We visited 3rd Corner while on vacation in neighboring Mission Bay. Upon entering the staff was very friendly and escorted us to a lounge room to wait for an open table. A combo wine shop/bistro, they had quite a large selection of domestic and foreign wines to choose from. The house wine buyer was helpful in choosing a Malbec from Argentina for dinner, and it was wonderful. One huge problem - they have $5 corkage fee for wine you buy from them and have with dinner. Whoafully unnecessary when your concept is for people to browse wines and then have dinner. My boyfriend had the duck, which he said was very tender. My dish - the chicken marsala, was seasoned well but it was not mentioned in the menu the dish had a truckload of green and red pepper in it, so my enjoyment of the dish was besmirched by the fact that I spent half my meal picking it out. Our server was polite, but stopped by the table every 5 five minutes to ask how things were - interrupting our conversation many times. Overall, we liked the concept but thought it fell short of how much we thought we would enjoy it.
relaxed yet hip – I love this restaurant. In fact, it may be my favorite in San Diego. The wait staff has always been friendly, food is tasty and a good value. Wonderful cheese plate, great portion on the mussels, my husband loves the pork. Really, there is something for everyone here. One night the soup was not what I expected, and the food server insisted on taking it off the bill. My friends enjoy walking around and browsing the wines then selecting the wine to go with dinner (great value on wine and corkage). My only issue (even parking can be mastered), is the dessert list is predictable and limited. Otherwise, a delightful experience - and don't forget lunch too - an opportunity to really talk wine with your food server when the place is slow.
Rude Service left bad taste in our mouth – It doesn't matter that the concept is great......wines everywhere, mellow atmosphere, and relaxing music. Our feeling of serenity was short lived by terrible service. Our server was sooooooo bad that we will never return to this Ocean Beach bistro nor recommend it to any friends. Our food took over 45minutes to arrive and when it did it was cold (when it should have been hot) and delivered without a look back from our less than friendly server. She also took at least 20 minutes to come to our table to open our wine. She didn't know anything about the wine or any others we asked about which we found amusing for someone working at a wine bar. We didn't see anyone who looked like a manager in sight so after a miserable dining experience we chalked it up to "live and learn" and never returning to the 3rd corner.
Great wines, Great food and open late – I have been to 3rd corner many times. I have had a great time everytime. They have a great wine selection that you can browse and drink or buy while waiting to be seated. I enjoy their cheese plate and all of their salads (the goat cheese spinach one in particular). I flat out crave the baked brie, YUM. I have never had any issues with the service. It does get crowded during Friday Saturday dinner rushes, but I dont normally go then. The best part is, when you look around at all the tables, everyone seems happy.
Very Poor Service – We were very excited to take our out-of-town guest to a cool OB wine bar for his birthday. After picking out our wines, we waited almost 20 minutes for our server to open our bottles (by the way, there is a $5 "corkage fee" AND a $5 "wine here" fee). We then waited over 20 minutes for our server to take our order. The food was very bland and over priced for what we got. What made this an even more terrible experience for us is that every time we started talking loud (which you have to since it is very loud in the restaurant), we would be scolded by our server! When we started singing happy birthday, we were once again scoled by our server and told to keep it down! We were shocked! We have never been met with such rude service as we did at the 3rd Corner. Being native OBcians, we make it a point to keep our money in OB. We are sad to say that we will never go back to 3rd Corner.
Best restaurant in Ocean Beach - one of the best in San Diego. – Small, intimate, friendly atmosphere. I frequent there often and its always wonderful. Great for friends to chill on some of their couches devouring their array of different cheese app's. or at the bar, it's also great for couples - small groups. They have an awesome selection of wines which is a main part of your intended experience. They have 2 sections of their restaruant full of wines from all over the world. A lot of great ones that won't burn a hole in your wallet too. By far one of the best places I like to go eat or just be. The Chef is smart , simplistic yet always has an outstanding unexpected new special each week. It tends to get busy on the weekends, no reservations but they accomodate as best they can. All their staff is friendly & very knowledgable. A must if your looking to impress someone or in the area.
Relaxing, upscale, great wine selections at great prices – It is great to be able to walk around a restaurant and browse a huge selection of wines. There are people around to help with questions or suggestions but they leave you alone if you're good on your own. We love the salads and cheese board (It comes with fruit, nuts, and bread. It is somewhat small but always has incredible flavor!) We are never rushed and usually enjoy early afternoons when it is uncrowded and we can relax and chat for hours. It is a great way to spend an afternoon!
San Diego needs more places like this! – I love San Diego I have lived here forever and I really think this is one of the best restaurants/wine bars to ever arrive in our fabulous city. This place is great. It's in OB so you know it's somewhat casual which San Diego always does well. But in addition to casual, 3rd Corner mixes in this quiet, dimly lit, romantic mood, a great bar, a fun outdoor patio, and a simple killer menu. I just love the whole mood of this place. One of the best parts about it for me is that the kitchen is open until 1am, so if I have a crazy day and want to unwind with a late dinner and a self-snatched bottle of wine this is the perfect place. I never feel rushed when I eat here. It's such a great place for any occasion, I would recommend it to anyone and I hope everyone stops in, guarantee you'll love it as much as I do!

Birth Control FAQs (cont.)
Do I want a permanent form of birth control?
Tubal sterilization is a surgical procedure for women. Vasectomy is a form of permanent sterilization for men. Both are intended to be permanent and are not easy, and sometimes not possible, to reverse. The decision to have a permanent form of birth control must be taken seriously and should involve you and your spouse or partner. See Birth Control Permanent Methods for more information.

Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids.
Acidosis - metabolic
Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid, or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
There are several types of metabolic acidosis:
Other causes of metabolic acidosis include:
Most symptoms are caused by the underlying disease or condition that is causing the metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis itself usually causes rapid breathing. Confusion or lethargy may also occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death. In some situations, metabolic acidosis can be a mild, chronic (ongoing) condition.
Arterial blood gas analysis or a serum electrolytes test (such as a basic metabolic panel) will confirm acidosis is present and determine whether it is respiratory acidosis
or metabolic acidosis.
Other test may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.
Treatment is aimed at the underlying condition. In certain circumstances, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) may be given to improve the acidity of the blood.
What can be expected will depend on the underlying disease causing the metabolic acidosis.
When very severe, metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death.
Seek medical treatment if you develop symptoms of any disease that can cause metabolic acidosis.
Keeping type 1 diabetes
under control may help prevent diabetic ketoacidosis, one type of metabolic acidosis.

After reading more about my situation on other forums I think I will leave it as is until I can upsize the main feed line to a 2" line.
If I reduce the nozzle size but add an additional zone with it's seperate 1" line it seems the pressure would rise but not significantly. The main concern I have learned is that by reducing the nozzle size I would experence a significant amount of wind drift to the water stream from the rotors. The area is windy most of the time and I need to stay with larger nozzle sizing to reduce the effects of the wind.
I'll just wait until the time I can increase the supply line and then redesign the rotors (number per zone and nozzle size) to fit the pump performance curve. A few of the zones have not only long runs but a significant elevation rise.

The storm wasn't supposed to roll in until Friday, but we found some fluff clouds on Wednesday.
Triple is on wind hold.
Overnight was a bit April, so yesterday's ending trail count of sixty-seven could tick down a few once Patrol surveys the hill. But, by looking at it from base, it may only be a handful at the most – still lots of snow out there.
Speaking of snow; our neck of the woods is forecasted to maybe see a couple inches over the next 24 – 36 hours during this slow moving low pressure system that's sweeping in from our west. We'll keep you posted if/when things turn white.
Our grooming team was able re-surface around twenty trails, so expect machined groomed conditions on those, and variable conditions on the balance. Seven lifts are scheduled to spin today; lower mountain (except Tramside Carpet) is slated for 8:30a followed by Tram, Bonnie and Triple at 9:00a. Last chair, for all lifts, is at 4:00p.
Lift tickets can be purchased at both Stateside and Tramside Customer Service locations; $69 for adults (ages 19+) and $55 for juniors (ages 6-18).
Don't forget, next year's Judge Season Pass is on sale now. For those that purchase now, you'll get to ski or ride the rest of this season, as well as all of next year. Early rates expire May 12th; click HERE to learn more or call Customer Service at 802-327-2321 to purchase today.

WASHINGTON — There were boos early and at the end for the winless Washington Wizards, who dropped to a franchise-worst 0-9 with a 96-89 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
Indiana's David West scored 13 of his season-best 30 points in the fourth quarter, and Roy Hibbert broke out of a slump with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Ok it's clear that the beyonce nutcases don't …
Comment posted Alicia Keys Explains Why She Shelved The 'Put In A Love Song' Music Video by Lisa.
Ok it's clear that the beyonce nutcases don't know Alicia Keys, Alicia Keys is not the type to ditch a video because someone out did her, which I clearly doubt. Alicia is a humble person and she does not get into all of that catty bullsh*t, I just don't understand why Beyonce fans are always so over the top. If she is so great then her greatness should speak for itself, you people should not always feel the need to try and make her better than everyone else, some of you are the reason why people dislike Beyonce and that is really sad when you have a group of fans that are so delusional and cult like that it turns others off, you all better get it together and stop it because you are doing more harm than good. As an Alicia Keys fan I don'tneed to question her I've followed her and I know that she is not a veign person so if the video didn't make it, its because it was not to her liking, not because of some so called Beyonce outshining her, they are both talented ladies and they are both at the top of their genre, and it's sad that Beyonce stans find it necessary to try and discredit other emensly credible artist, and Alicia is not just an artist she is a full cylcle MUSICIAN she has no competition and that is a FACT!
Lisa also commented
- Alicia is a perfectionist when it comes to her music and her videos and if she did not think it was right you better believe she was not going to put it out. Oh well, it's not coming out so stop asking and stop the innuendos. It's in the vault somewhere never to be seen , move on. Maybe her and Beyonce will perform together at her black ball this year.

- Mashonda: '[Alicia Keys'] JET Interview Added Insult To Injury'
Mashonda honey I have seen the public back and forth and the little slick remarks that you have made over the past few years in reference to your ex and his now spouse and I have a little advice to you, you may not want it but when you open up your public life to scrutiny and you put your business in the street by CHOICE, you have no choice but to hear from the public. First of all STOP playing the victim, you are not a victim, and if you are it is a victim of your own bad choices. You chose to marry a man that showed you who he was prior to you marrying him he cheated on you prior to you marrying him and you knew it!!! He had a baby with someone else while you were together prior to marriage, which caused you to miscarry your own child. Yes, maybe he loved you but he clearly was not in love with you or he would not and could not have done that, sometimes God gives us signs when we are headed in the wrong direction but we think that we know better and we go right ahead doing what we know in our souls is wrong, you made that choice, you chose to marry him even after that, he cheated on you throughout the relationship and you still stayed, yes you need to work on your marriage and not just give up on it but sometimes the writing is on the wall and the longer you stay in the situation the worst it becomes, you brought a child into the situation, and yes your child is the love of your life and you could not imagine him not being here but you chose to do that know that your situation was not stable. I don't pretend to know all that happened in between these situations but you pretty much dug the grave for this marriage when you married him knowing he could not be faithful to YOU!!. You claimed that you were still trying to work on your marriage but clearly you were the only one because Swizz was out getting another woman pregnant, the one that you choose to overlook because it does not play into your narrative about his now wife. You may have been working on something but he was NOT. You continued to hold on to something that was dead and he was long gone. It was probably easier to blame his now wife than it was for you to admit that your marriage was over but here is the problem, you and Swizz took those vows no one else and he broke them over and over and you chose to keep fighting for something that you knew was dead, and when you realized that he was showing another woman the kind of love that he never really showed you, it got to you and that is the one that you lashed out on. That woman did not break your relationship, your relationship was broken prior to your marriage and during your marriage, stop playing the victim. If you want to use your platform use your platform to inform women that they should not accept less than they are worth, that they should not settle for someone treating them like second class, that they should demand more especially if they see the true colors prior to marriage, no I was not in your home or in your bed with you and your husband but I see it every single day and your business is out there for all to see, until you take responsibility for your part in this situation you will NEVER be happy I don't care how much of a brave face you put on , how many scriptures and word of the day that you quote, until you go inside and take responsibility for not loving yourself enough to say I deserved more you will always be bitter and it will affect every other relationship that you have. I am sure that both of you have grown since you first met and maybe he was not thr right man for you but maybe he is the right man for his spouse, and I am sure that your right man is out there, the one that you missed out on because you did not follow God's plan but followed your own, but to meet him you will have to be truthful with yourself and take responsibility for your part. This may come off harsh but harsh is what you need, sometimes harsh is what your friends and your family members will not be with you because of fear of your feelings but sometimes you need to hear what you need to hear in order to move on. I don't know if your ex is a whole new man, he could be because he may have found his true love, but he seems happy and you should allow yourself to be happy also, you put your choices and your failures on someone elses back out of anger, and that was not right, and in your mind you probably wonder how can they get away with it and be happy but why wouldn't they, if there is Karma to come it will come, if not oh well, but you can't keep sitting around and waiting for it because it may never come and life and time will pass you by. Take responsibility, move on and live happy and let your spouse and his wife live happy and your kid will be happy because he will feel genuine peace, not tense interactions, that makes a big difference, you are all tied together forever or at least for the next 15 to 16 years, birthdays, graduations, marraiges will intertwine because there are children and siblings involved, the best thing to do is truly move on.
- New Music: Alicia Keys f/ Maxwell – 'Fire We Make'
Only a bunch of bitter b*tches on this site would make this a negative post, The song is beautiful, and Alicia actually started to write the song and decided that Maxwell would be perfect for it, Maxwell has NEVER don a colab before but he has been dying to work with Alicia,so the got together on it with Gary Clark Jr. Maxwell adores Alicia and he stans for her like I have NEVER seen another artist stan for their peer, he was on her live stream last night and he was so excited about this song and working with her, this is a great song, but not the best on the album, the album is a classic and will be timeless, there are some ridiculously deep and raw songs on this album. I don't care what you think about Alicia Keys personal life but to try and discredit her talent is just hate plain and simple, and what is sad is that you have people who are carrying other peoples issues for four years, that is really sad, it's bad enough to carry around your own baggage, but to carry around other people's baggage who you don't even know and when you don't know the facts is ridiculous, but only on the urban blogs, that is how we do, that is why I am glad that Alicia is an international star, her promo is geared towards her FANS, mature people who love exceptional music and who appreciate quality without gimmick, nightline, Katie, Person to Person you won't see other stars doing that type of real media, most others have to go where the gimmicks are she DOES NOT. I love Maxwell like anyone else but to try and discredit AK is bogus and shady at best. He would shut you b*tches down if he were to see this, because that is how much RESPECT he has for AK. Keep moving with your gimmicky artist. I prefer to stick with real and quality. The song is Alicia's written by Alicia, collabed with Max and that shows what a good writer and producer she is to have identified the perfect person to throw on the album.
- [Video] Stacey Dash 'Shocked & Saddened' By Backlash From Her Support For Romney
I am saddened by how my people act, some of the responses were pure ignorance. I am on the fence myself because I am sick of Obama and the Dems demonizing success, and that is what they do every time they talk about this 1 percent and the rich or whatever. EVERYONE make choices in life which guides their success I set goals, I sacrificed, I worked 3 jobs and went to college, got my undergrad and masters. I have worked for years under people less educated and less knowledgeable than I am and now I have finally gotten to the point where I am finally where I want to be in my profession and I am now seeing the financial gains behind that, how can anyone demonize me for that? or how can you tell me who I should give my hard earned money too? Many people may consider me to be rich based on the Dems and what they call rich, I started my own consulting business on the side and I have a full time job but that is my dream. I do not live beyond my means, I waited until I was married to have kids that I could afford, and I did everything that I needed to do. My annual income may sound big but the taxes kill me, so when you consider a decent house note, a reliable car, child care, and student loans being paid back, I don't see where I should be considered rich, but all that said I worked my butt off and I did what I needed to do, I worked how many jobs I needed to work, and they were not pretty, but I had goals. We should NOT demonize success we should encourage it and the welfare system should not be a lifestyle it should be a hand up when needed for a short period of time, Unemployment is one thing, that is your money that you worked and was put into an account for your by your employer, but the number of people both black and white that are living off of welfare is ridiculous, why keep having kids if you cannot afford them? I have to work every day, pay taxes and pay for child care, someone else who decides to make welfare a lifestyle gets to get their food paid for, their childcare paid for, and in some cases if they are in section 8 they can live in the same place that I live and pay for my home and they can move next door and pay 100 dollars and have the government pay for their home and their utilities and have no respect for my property value because they don't have to work for it. If you are elderly or disabled I have no problem with the system helping you, but strong, healthy adults who can work need to work I don't care if it is 3 jobs, stop having kids that you cannot afford, go out and get an education, go back and get your GED, and stop expecting the government to take care of you. People come here to this country with nothing and they become successful because they appreciate education and hard work and they do the jobs that some of us refuse to do and then we get mad when they become successful? It is crazy. I do not envy ANYONE for their success, even if it was inherited, what that means is that the parent of that person worked hard so that they could leave a legacy for their kids and they would not have to work as hard, which is my goal, I am trying to build a legacy for my kids, and leave them a healthy inheritance so that they do not have to struggle, something a lot of us as AA don't do because we are too busy worried about buying the Benz and Lexus and stuff that we really don't need and we are not saving for our kids, there is no reason for anyone to have a Benz living in an apartment, it's all about our choices, we need to start taking responsibility for or actions and our choices and stop expecting people to give us anything. I hate that the Dems try to divide us. I have watched it for the past couple of years and I do not like it, I do not like how they automatically think that they have the black vote, or the poor vote. I hate it, and I am very much on the fence. Kudos to Stacy for having a mind of her own and an opinion of her own. My dad, uncles, brothers served in the military all of them were overseas at one point fighting to give people the right to freedom and to vote and have a voice so it is a slap in the face for us to bully anyone who does not have the same political affiliation as we do. Everyone has a right to vote for whoever they want too, as long as you vote, people died so we can.

- Jay-z On Nets Ownership Criticism: 'Don't Let Anybody Diminish Your Accomplishments'
That's the problem with N*ggas always worried about what someone else has and trying to tear it down when they don't even have a pot to **** in. The people questioning the percentage don't have 1% of what he has so why are they worried about it? I'm not a big Jay Z fan, but I respect his hustle, just like I respect Diddy, and the rest of those guys that are out there thinking smart and diversifying, they are not limiting themselves to one thing and that is very smart. I WISH that people would just worry about what they need to do to get where they need to go and stop worrying about these celebs and what they are doing, they are living their dreams, no matter what anyone else says.

Interview Details This was the worse interview of my life. Super rude HR reps, they argued with my answers and did everything but roll their eyes at me. I could have done so much better, but they instantly made me feel unwelcome and I just wanted to leave.
The experience wasn't bad before the face-to-face interview: I took a super long online assessment (wasn't bad, but it was WAY too long), had a phone interview with a rep from Manpower, and that was all a fairly pleasant experience. That's why I was so surprised when I went to the face-to-face interview and they were really rude, standoffish, and made me feel unwelcome. I also saw a look of disappointment on one of the HR reps face before they invited me in, so I went in already feeling like this was a hopeless feat.

Interview Details Interview was conducted by one IT project manager and one IT technologist, general questions were given by the manager and technical questions were given by the tech. The interview involved no difficult technical questions, they were more interested in motivation and my ability to learn than they were what I already knew. It was pretty straight forward, they went down my resume talking about each section and asking me questions about it making small notes.
Interview Question – They asked me how how a few of my extra curricular activities have helped prepare for the professional world, mind you my activities were very unrelated to software/IT. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I had a better offer from a company I was more interested in.

Interview Details This process was horrendous. I was called on the phone by an external hiring agency for a phone screening disguised as a call for interview setup. I was then given an interview time three weeks out. I went to the interview that lasted about 20 minutes. I did not hear back from them for two more weeks when they called me for another interview. I was unsure if they even knew that I had already had an interview because they made no mention of the first one. After the second interview, I received a phone call from an HR person with a job offer, about three days later. She gave me instructions for the new hire procedures, explaining I would receive an email. I never received an email mentioning my new employment and actually went back up to the office to talk to the HR manager to confirm my new employment and ask for my email and instructions for the drug screening. The entire hiring process took more than three months.
Interview Question – What specific experience or qualifications do you have that are relevant to this job.

Interview Details Was set up for a phone interview with a recruiter which lasted about 30 minutes. From there I was contacted for an in-person interview at the office with the director.
A few things were very odd and not necessarily enticing to me. First off, although I arrived about 5-10 minutes early for an interview at 9 AM, I was left waiting until about 9:15 in the waiting area.
From there, the individual interviewing was very cut and dry, showing what seemed to me to be very little interest from the moment we began. It almost seemed like I was just a candidate brought in to show that the recruiters had interviewed their required amount of candidates and could now move on to hiring some they already had in mind internally? It was just all very odd.
All questions were the basic interview questions. No room for "real" conversation in regards to the position at hand.

Sendek: Sun Devils to face 'extremely talented' Wildcats squad
It is coming off a good road split in Oregon, and is quickly gaining "surprise team" status.
A win in its next game would go a long way towards making people true believers in what's happening in Tempe, because it would mean taking down the seventh-ranked Arizona Wildcats.
"They're extremely talented," Sendek told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo about the Wildcats. "They have some guys that just make plays."
Sendek pointed to Mark Lyons, Solomon Hill and Nick Johnson as guys who make plays, and added that the Wildcats are tough up front and solid in the half-court game.
"They're among the top five or 10 teams in the country ranking-wise, very well-deserved, and for good reason."
Yet, the Sun Devils likely enter this game with some confidence, especially with the team's recent success against the rivals from Tucson.
listen Listen: Herb Sendek, Head Coach ASU Basketball
Coach talks about his team's first Pac 12 loss to Oregon.
One of those two wins came in the regular season finale last season, when the Devils significantly hurt the Wildcats' NCAA Tournament hopes with an 87-80 upset win in Tempe.
When asked if his teams may play with a bit more of an edge when the Wildcats are the opponent, Sendek said he hopes that's not really the case.
"We hope we take every game and give it our best," he said. "If we're doing that, theoretically, it's hard to do better than that."

U.S. Returns Young Girl, a Citizen, to Guatemala
Leonel Ruiz, a landscaper in Brentwood, N.Y., was waiting at Kennedy International Airport on the early morning of March 11 for his 4-year-old daughter, Emily, to arrive home from a trip to Guatemala. The plane arrived hours late, but Emily was not on it, and neither was her grandfather, who was supposed to be escorting her back.
It took several hours for Mr. Ruiz to learn what had happened. Emily, a United States citizen, and her grandfather, a Guatemalan traveling with a valid work visa, had been detained by immigration authorities at Dulles International Airport near Washington, where the plane had been diverted because of bad weather. The officials had told Emilys grandfather that because of an immigration infraction two decades ago, he would not be allowed to stay in the country.
That has left Emily, a pigtailed native of Long Island, in an unusual limbo. As a citizen, she has the right to re-enter her country. But her parents are illegal immigrants, which has complicated the prospect of a reunion.
Today, Emily is in Guatemala, her parents are struggling to bring her home, and lawyers and federal officials are arguing over parental responsibility and citizenship rights. The Ruizes find themselves on the front lines of a heated immigration debate: how to treat families in which the parents are here illegally, while their children, born in the United States, are citizens.
Full story: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/nyregion/23citizen.ht...
Is this really what the Republicans want? For children to suffer the consequences of their parents' misdeeds?Republican family values - You obey the law. If you don't, you pay the consequences. Parents are responsible for their children and need to take them into consideration when they make decisions. When they make bad choices the children sometimes pay the consequences. That's life.HEyHEY (1000+ posts) Tue Mar-22-11 11:00 PM

1. More republican family values for ya.
The parents can go back to Guatemala and be reunited with their child. Or their child can stay here with someone they designate and they can see her periodically when she goes to visit them. It's their decision. They knew that when they broke the law to come here that that could be one consequence.
I feel badly for the kid but it's the decision the parents made. I feel badly for kids whose parents get divorced and fight all the time too. When parents make decisions for their kids there isn't much we can do and in this case I don't think there is anything we should do to change it.
Liberal moral values - Breaking the law has no consequences. If you are one of the "protected classes" - (illegal immigrants, liberals, minorities etc ) you don't need to have personal responsibility.

3. You have to remember they do not care about anyone
except themselves. They do not care about their families, they do not care period.
They go through life with blinders. Seeing only their petty ideals of what life should be for everyone.
They care only for power and riches. They are just basic scum.And that comment ended the thread.dkf Donating Member (1000+ posts) Tue Mar-22-11 11:10 PM

4. What did the parents expect would happen?
I don't understand why people expect things will be okay when you break the law. The child can stay here if someone agrees to take care of her. Otherwise she needs to wait until she is old enough to take care of herself and then she can come back.
What is crazy is thinking that you can come here illegally, have a child and that becomes your instant citizenship paper. If that were true, then there is no point to citizenship.

What is the difference between ice cream, gelato, and sorbet? They look different, but are they made differently?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
First of all, the names vary a bit from country to country, or the ingredients do. I'll explain the most common names/ingredients.
The main difference is in the ingredients used. Sorbet is basically water + sugar + fruit, while ice cream and gelato is milk/cream + sugar + fruit. So the last two are more 'creamy', while sorbet is more 'icy'.
You can say that ice cream is a type of gelato, but there still is a difference. More sugar in gelato, more butterfat (the percentage of fat in the milk/cream) in ice cream.
You can read quite a lot about ice cream on wikipedia.
Gelato is kind of Italian icecream, which has more sugar & Fat content .
