Open 7 Days
Neighborhoods: Colonial Place/Riverview
good, cheap and fast – One of our favorites. We esp like the tamales and the fajitas. Always good food, great service and reasonable prices.
Fastest meal on the planet! – First, you will be in and out in 20 minutes regardless of Mother's Day or any other special day. We now giggle about it taking too long if it has been 5 minutes waiting on the food. Besides this, the food is incredible and very reasonable. I like everything they have, but the burritos tapatios is spicy goodness.
Not Mexican Food – We just went to Mi Hogar, the reviews were great, but like the other person commented, probably written by friends and family. I cannot believe that it was supposed to be Mexican food. It was, dry, tasteless and nasty. We will never go back! I got #2, the Taco, Chalupa and Enchalada plate. The taco didn't taste like a taco, it didn't taste like anything. the shell was stale and tasted like cardboard. The enchalada didn't have any taste to it either. My husband had the CNA special or whatever it was called that came with one of everything. He wouldn't even eat it... dry nasty food. I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's not cheese, it tasted like some sort of goat cheese. The Salsa was runny and wasn't that great. They only thing they didn't screw up were the chips, but anyone can open a bag and fill a dish.
Service, was fast and seating was prompt. Other than that, not worth the money! Not even worth the visit. If I could I wouldn't even give this place 1/2 a star! Disgusting!
Best Mexican food you'll get in VA – I'm going to tell you right now that Virginia is not the place to get great tasting AUTHENTIC Mexican food, but this restaurant sure does come close. Please don't listen to the guy with the bad review who didn't even know how to spell carne ASADA, little does he know that when you eat carne ASADA not AZADA, you're supposed to put it in a tortilla when some salsa, roll it like a taco, and yum-hence the bit of dryness in the meat! Yes, that's coming from a true Mexican!
The place is pretty good, great atmosphere, awesone deals, and excellent service. I forget when Margarita day is-maybe Tuesday...so my advice go on Tuesdays!!!
Nice date place – My boyfriend and I like this place. We like Mexican and Mi Hogar is one of the best out there. Service was fast, the staff was friendly and we go back whenever we get the chance.
Best Mexican Restaurant compare to at least other 5 – It's a great restaurant. Food is delicious. How i know? is because i have been to at least 5 other more and none of those can do better. Is a family oriented and good customers skills. You eat a lot for a cheaper price. Your belly will be full. No other restaurant can beat the prices. Is a small place but food is great. Is very clean. They do not keep the salsa in cans like another review i read. Chips are fresh. If you being around like me, all over the spanish countries, you will no best.
Delicious, inexpensive Mexican food that can even fill a student on a budget. – The Scene
The friendly staff delivers Mexican food quickly and efficiently, only leaving time to munch a few salsa-dipped chips. This little family-style restaurant is popular with Old Dominion students, which is hardly surprising since the food is better (and cheaper) than in the dorms.
The Food
Daily specials pack a lot of food into a little price, with tacos, burritos and combination platters making up an expansive menu. Freshly made chips and two kinds of salsa hit the table before you can say "por favor." Hard-shell or soft-tortilla tacos are filled with savory meats like ground beef, shredded chicken or carnitas, cheese and lettuce. Pair them with an enchilada, burrito, rice and refried beans, and you've got enough food for lunch the next day. Wash everything down with an ice-cold Negra Modelo or Cuervo margarita and you're livin' la vida happy.
MEXICAN'T – We went to MI HOGAR based on the reviews but apparently they were writen by friends and family. Personally, i don't write reviews but they forced my hand in doing so. The reviews were inaccurate to say the least. The chips were good but the salsa was in a container in the hallway, was bland, watery and covered by a napkin...the good thing is they were free! My friends and I ordered the CARNE AZADA, CARNITAS AND FAJITAS. The carne azada was thin, dry and bland. The Carnitas(pork bites) were dry and tasted like they were leftovers from the lunch special. The fajitas were half way decent but still not what we expected from the raving reviews we read. The service and the parking were good. In summary if you have tried good mexican cusine then this is clearly not the place for you.
Superior Mexican Food – I came here from the Chicago Suburbs and experienced the best Mexican food outside of Mexico. Chicago has a tremendous hispanic population. So when I tell you this place is authentic and yummy you can believe it.
Best Mexican South of the Pennisula – Great Mexican food. Fell in love with this place the first time I tried it. Salsa is always fresh with noticable bits of fresh cilantro and a nice cumin kick without being burning hot. Best Chile Rellenos period. Never dry, and a nice mild chile flavor. This place is MEGA kid friendly, my toddler knows half the wait staff by name. Time permitting the staff often comes by to distract the younger patrons while there parents are trying to finish their meal.

"I will be finishing my football career at Texas Christian University AKA TCU! Go TCU!" Green tweeted.
Green also confirmed to HornedFrogBlitz.com Friday evening that he's ready to start his new journey at TCU and knows when his number is called, he will make a contribution.
"I'm really excited to be part of the Frog family and be part of the offense," Green said via text. "I just loved the offense. I thought I could really work hard and contribute to this team when my number was called. In whatever way they call it."
Green was a Scout.com five-star and nation's sixth best running back and #31 overall rated prospect out of San Antonio Madison in 2011. He also played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl as a senior after rushing for 1,717 yards and 19 scores. Green totaled 4,874 yards and 57 touchdowns in three years for Madison.
Green signed with Nebraska over offers from 30-plus programs so he could play on the same team as his brother Andrew, a Cornhusker defensive back. Green saw action as a true freshman at Nebraska, carrying the ball 24 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Green's transfer to TCU couldn't come at a better time. He will have to sit out the 2012 season per NCAA transfer rules, but will be able to use his redshirt which will allow him three more years of eligibility starting in 2013. That's perfect timing considering the depth chart will lose two significant contributors at the conclusion of the 2012 season.
The Horned Frogs lose seniors Edward Wesley and Matthew Tucker after this season and Waymon James will be a senior in 2013. All three backs rushed for over 700 yards in 2011. After James' departure the Frogs would only have two scholarship runningbacks on the roster with 2012 signees B.J. Catalon and LaDarius Anthony.

Skagit Wildlife Area Management Plan
Habitat - Wildlife Area Management
Date Published: November 2006
Number of Pages: 178
Author(s): John Garrett, Belinda Schuster and Donna Gleisner
The Skagit Wildlife Area consists of 16,708 acres, most of it intertidal mud flats and marsh. The majority of land ownership is scattered throughout the west half of Skagit County. This includes the Skagit Bay Estuary, Headquarters Unit, Island Unit, Samish Unit, Telegraph Slough Unit, Fir Island Farms/Hayton Reserve, Johnson/DeBay Swan Reserve, Bald Eagle Natural Area, Cottonwood Island Unit, Goat Island Unit, Guemes Island Unit, and Sinclair Island Unit. Satellite units occur in Island County (Camano Island Natural Area), Snohomish County (Leque Island Unit), and San Juan County (Lopez Island Unit). Most of the intensively managed units have agricultural fields, which are planted with cereal grains to provide food for wintering waterfowl.
The Skagit Bay estuary and its freshwater wetland habitats provide one of the most important waterfowl wintering areas in the Pacific Flyway. The Skagit Wildlife Area was originally established to preserve the Skagit Bay estuary, which is valuable habitat for many fish and wildlife species. Prior to human intervention, the Skagit Bay estuary (where saltwater mixes with fresh) was certainly the largest in Puget Sound, and was of a scale comparable to all other Puget Sound estuaries combined. The diverse freshwater and estuarine wetlands within the channels and sloughs of the delta extended from its shoreline into the upland forest. But by the 1860s, much of the land conversion had begun as the Skagit River delta was heavily logged and the lowlands drained for agriculture (Beechie et al., 1994). Habitat conversion increased as settlers built dikes and improved drainage to develop farms on the rich floodplain soils. These activities resulted in a significant loss of estuarine and freshwater wetland habitats before the turn of the century. The recent federal Endangered Species Act listing of Chinook salmon as a threatened species in the Skagit Watershed is shifting management priorities on the Skagit Wildlife Area. Currently, the number one priority is to enhance and restore degraded estuary habitats to help threatened Chinook salmon populations recover. These restoration projects will also benefit other fish and wildlife species that use estuary habitats.
The primary management concerns and public issues identified in the Skagit Wildlife Area Plan are:
In 2006, the Skagit Wildlife Area staff continued to implement programs that provided habitat enhancements for waterfowl, shorebirds and other avian species. Major time and effort was allocated to the ongoing process of implementing the Wylie Slough and Leque Island Estuary Restoration Projects.
The planning effort continued on the development of a "moist soil" management plan to be implemented in partnership with Ducks Unlimited on the Samish, Island, and Leque Island Units.
The Skagit Wildlife Area Plan has provided a process for allowing a much greater level of public involvement in the wildlife area planning process, as well as providing a foundation for many of the diverse and challenging issues and management options on the Skagit Wildlife Area.

"I get creative on the mound because he can be pretty emotional,'' Geovany Soto said Wednesday. "It's a challenge. Say there are two on, two out in the sixth, I'll go out and ask Matt about a 1960 Camaro just to get his mind off the field for a second and recompose."
"Matt's emotion is not all negative,'' Soto said. "He'll get that look in his eye that says, 'I'm coming after you.' It's bad news for the hitter.''
News flash for anybody in the Cubs organization worried whether Garza will control his emotions as well as his fastball: Until Garza's greatest strength becomes his biggest weakness, let it ride.
This isn't Carlos Zambrano, one home-run pitch away from doing harm to the Gatorade cooler — or a teammate. This is a team-first pitcher who sees a direct link between passion and performance, a pitcher tougher on himself than teammates since learning a lesson in 2008 after arguing with Rays catcher Dioner Navarro in the dugout. This is the Cubs' best pitcher, more valuable than volatile, who believes in all the organizational change under way.
Well, almost all of it.
"They've asked me to tone things down my whole career, but I'm not going to,'' Garza said. "There's no tone-down. This is me when I wake up. If people ask me to keep toning it down, then they're going to take away my love and I'll just go find something else to do to be more passionate about.''
As Garza bounces around at 9 a.m., razzing fellow pitchers during routine fielding drills, his uncommon energy is obvious. No matter the hour, Garza is on more often than your smartphone.
"Being away from my kids for eight months a year, do you think I would be here if I didn't love it?'' he asked. "I'm a big kid playing recess all day.''
Even when Garza isn't pitching, opponents find him engaged. Ask Cubs manager Dale Sveum, the former Brewers hitting coach who recalled seeing — and hearing — Garza from the top step of the opposing dugout.
"You appreciated a starting pitcher being that involved the four days he doesn't pitch,'' Sveum said.
How much the Cubs truly appreciate Garza still sparks discussion after an offseason of trade rumors that made little sense for a team rebuilding its pitching staff. The Cubs control Garza's contract through 2013, and general manager Jed Hoyer has acknowledged discussing an extension. Some say a long-term deal will make Garza even more tradable. I say, what's the hurry and why deal your ace?
If Garza excels, his numbers will be worth the higher salary. If he suffers an injury or inconsistency, the Cubs won't be saddled with a contract they regret. I realize Garza endured seven no-decisions last year after leaving with a lead, but he won 10 games — not 20. In a year of evaluation, the Cubs can afford to make other big decisions before addressing Garza's future.
"We need more guys like Matt who can win big games,'' Hoyer said.
Hoyer had a front-row seat at Tropicana Field for Garza's biggest. Starting Game 7 of the 2008 AL Championship Series, Garza gave up one run in seven innings as the Rays beat Hoyer's Red Sox 3-1.
"I remember Theo (Epstein) looking at me in the fifth inning and saying, 'Uh-oh, we're in trouble,' '' Hoyer said. "Those are the kind of games we want Matt to win for us here.''
Here in Chicago, where Garza never has felt happier. He welcomes the Cubs' interest in a new deal and loves his new number, 22. He playfully pointed out he has played in the postseason in '06, '08 and '10 — and "I'm not about to break my streak in '12.'' He described the simple, satisfying life of a North Shore suburban dad who sleds with his three kids and mingles with neighbors, an image that barely resembles the complicated, combustible guy on the mound.
Since Garza's wife, Serina, threatened to keep him from their son after an outburst as an 18-year-old freshman at Fresno State, baseball's most important unwritten rule for Garza has involved separating work and home.
"I thought baseball was life,'' Garza said. "She made a lot of sense. She helped me see I need to leave my crap at the door and pick it up when I go back to work.''
Where Soto knows just what to say to steer Garza straight.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA – The LePage administration sought exposure for the governor and his gun-rights stance on conservative talk shows during last month's firestorm over requests for public records on Maine's concealed-weapons permit holders.
Gov. Paul LePage's Twitter account linked to this photo of him holding up his concealed weapon permit during a controversy about requests for public gun data.

Gov. Paul LePage's spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, sent out two emails on Feb. 14 to talk show hosts who are sympathetic to gun owners in the national debate on gun violence.
The first message went to an associate producer at Fox News in New York City, with a request to forward it to national television political commentator Bill O'Reilly.
The second went to Howie Carr, a conservative radio host in Boston who aired a segment condemning the Bangor Daily News for making a Freedom of Access Act request for the permit information.
The Portland Press Herald obtained Bennett's emails through a Freedom of Access request to the governor's office for public records related to the concealed-weapons controversy.
The Bangor newspaper's request generated a withering backlash from gun owners and activists and prompted the Legislature to enact an emergency bill making the permit information secret for 60 days.
Lawmakers are now debating legislation that would take the information off the public record permanently – for the first time since 1981.
The Press Herald received more than 500 pages of emails that were sent to and from the administration's staff.
Most were from activists and constituents expressing outrage or fear that the Bangor newspaper intended to publish the concealed-weapons data. Others showed how the administration scrambled to get the temporary ban.
The emails from Bennett to Carr and Fox News producer Daniel Hillsdon reveal that the administration saw a political opportunity in the backlash.
Both emails contained a statement from LePage, who said, "If newspapers would like to know who has concealed weapons permits, then they should know the governor has his." They included a link to the governor's Twitter post, which included a photo of him showing his permit for the camera.
"Wondering if you can pass this along to Bill O'Reilly's folks?" Bennett wrote to Hillsdon. "Very interesting!"
Twelve minutes later, Bennett emailed Carr directly.
"It's been awhile since you've chatted with Governor LePage," she wrote. "Thought you might find this interesting."
Bennett said in an interview Thursday that the emails were self-explanatory.
"My job is to make sure the governor's message is heard loud and clear," she said. "There are certain shows that ... gain or have a large audience, and sometimes I reach out to them."
She said, "I did that on my own. It's part of my job."
It's routine for political communications staffs to solicit media coverage, particularly during a controversy. The goal is to amplify politicians' messages and get as much exposure as possible.
LePage, for example, has appeared several times on Carr's program. He appeared on conservative talk shows across the country when he attended events hosted by the Republican Governors Association.
LePage once plugged O'Reilly's book "Killing Lincoln" in his weekly radio address. O'Reilly returned the favor by mentioning LePage during his popular Fox News show, "The O'Reilly Factor."
Bennett said the emails to Carr and O'Reilly produced no immediate response. However, Carr did mention the governor, and the Twitter picture of him holding up his concealed-weapons permit, during his show on Feb. 15, the day the Bangor newspaper rescinded its records request.
Republicans and gun-rights Democrats used the controversy to show their allegiance to gun activists and gun owners. The emergency legislation to shield the data was sponsored by Sen. Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, and Rep. Jeff McCabe, D-Skowhegan, the assistant majority leaders of the Senate and House.
Lizzy Reinholt, communications director for the Maine Democratic Party, said emails like Bennett's are common in her line of work. Reinholt said conservatives proved adept at using the concealed-weapons permit flap for political gain.
She said Bennett's emails showed how the controversy wasn't "completely organic."
"They were trying to stir it up and they did," Reinholt said. "They were very successful.
She said, "I almost have to give them kudos. ... They saw an opportunity and they seized it to build a well-orchestrated press campaign."
Said Bennett, "It's all about messaging and getting the word out to as many people as we can. It was nothing more than that."

We never seem to fully graduate from junior high.
Remember when you always had someone that you were "mad at?" It was like a list that you kept. Mine was almost as long as my bangs.
Usually that person used to be your BFF, and they looked at your boyfriend wrong, so then you were mad at them.
We'd like to think that we grew up, but we're all really stuck in 7th grade.
Heard this at church over the weekend.
"If you want to represent Jesus to the world and you have unforgiveness in your life then you're doing it in an unforgiving way. That doesn't work."
No wonder people don't like church. I once heard someone say that God has a PR problem because we're all going around saying things about him that aren't true.
I wanted to truly know Jesus and make him known but I have people in my life that I need to forgive. Those that hurt me when my marriage ended. I literally fell on my knees and prayed, "Lord, help me to forgive them."
Maybe you've got a situation like that too in your life, someone you could let go of being mad at and forgive.
To fully understand how much God loves you and forgives you, you have to pick someone in your life who has hurt you then forgive them and love them anyway. It's not going to be easy, but that is why we rely on God.

"I had just gone to pick up the first serious piece of antique jewelry I ever bought-- a beautiful Edwardian choker. It was a lot of money for me to spend ($750,) but I was doing 'Funny Girl' on Broadway, so I could afford it. In the shop, we heard that the President was gone. I was so stunned and devastated that I got in a cab to go home. Driving through Central Park, I suddenly passed Elliott Gould.. my husband at the time.. sitting on a bench. How did he get there? It was like out of a dream. I stopped the cab, and we just held each other. I never could wear that necklace."

As we now enter the third week of the unnecessary government shutdown, Americans should remember the words of GOP Representative Martin Stutzman, "We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is." This statement reflects a cultural resentment in the land over a changing America. Maybe if the President calls and says he respects the Congressman and the Speaker, the country could move forward.Read more »

Remember Whitewater and the "travel office" non-scandals of the 1990s? The Republicans and certain media outlets wasted the nation's time and millions of dollars in pursuit of alleged wrongdoing by First Lady Hillary Clinton. It was all sound and fury signifying nothing. Two decades later, the same script is being revisited about the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which the President and Secretary Clinton clearly labeled a "terrorist act".Read more »

The horrible tragedy in Newtown, CT has brought to the forefront a much needed and long overdue national conversation regarding the lack of gun control and mental health services in our country. It makes no sense that automatic and semi automatic weapons are available for public sale. The U.S. has more guns and more gun violence than any other civilized country in the world. And since 2009, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has reported that states have cut more than $1.6 billion in general funds from their state mental health agency budgets.Read more »

Larry Kramer does not need me to publicize his beautiful play. It stands on its own. For the last time – I will answer his complaints, which rewrite history.
When I saw the play in 1985 I was very moved and immediately contacted Larry to acquire the rights. After going through several drafts with Larry, I hired another writer to develop a screenplay that was faithful to Larry's play -- but adapting it to make it more cinematic. It was finished in 1995. Ralph Fiennes and Kenneth Branagh were interested in doing the version that I oversaw.Read more »

"The most truthful part of a newspaper is the advertisements"
---Thomas Jefferson
Boy, Barbra must sell a lot of papers. That tabloid keeps re-telling the same lies.
I asked my wife if I could borrow her Truth Alert to respond to the latest tabloid nonsense, an outrageous story that I oppose her doing "Gypsy." These scandal sheet guys only print stuff that is the exact opposite of the truth. I'm already lined up to buy the first ticket for that film. Her youthful beauty will perfectly complement her singing and performance. But the point here is that tabloids only traffic in bad news, bad news that they have to maliciously make up in Barbra's case.Read more »
I was just made aware of a ridiculous story in one of those weekly rags. This is just to say that the story is untrue in every respect, just unmitigated, sloppy, and malicious invention. The madness of the constant inaccuracy of these publications is evidenced by the fact that in this recent story the main photo they use of "Jason" is not even Jason!
One of the tabloids is recycling a fabricated story which we truth-alerted as false in 2004.
It's ridiculous to dredge up a 7 year old story about having a polyp removed. It must be a slow news day.
I've endured Larry Kramer's outbursts in the past, not wishing to dignify them with a response. But at a time when we are all pulling together to achieve such giant steps toward gay equality, it is anguishing to me to have my devotion to this cause so distorted. I think my efforts for the gay community and my immersion in securing its constitutional entitlement and other equitable rights is quite evident and a matter of record.Read more »

To clarify the ridiculous assertions relating to Barbra Streisand's participation in the new "We Are The World," the recording of which I attended with her, Barbra hit it on her first take, but then asked Patti Austin, who was producing the vocal session, if she could do a few more to see what else she might come up with. Patti thought the first take was perfect, and she thought the fourth one was more perfect. They stopped at "more perfect."

I discovered in a recent book of rather serious intent, and in which I was otherwise fairly treated, that the author chose to print some of the silliest fabricated tales about me even after acknowledging that they were "perhaps more apocryphal than true."

Google adds 3D Helicopter View to Google Maps
By Darren Quick
October 3, 2011
Those not content with a getting a 2D top-down or 360-degree street level view of a planned route using Google Maps can now enjoy a virtual flight over the route thanks to Google adding a new Helicopter View. The new feature, which currently only works in a full browser and requires the Google Earth plugin, lets users see 3D view, should come in particularly handy for walkers or bike riders looking for a more intuitive view of potentially tiring hills.
To access the 3D aerial view, ensure the Google Earth plugin is installed, then head over to Google Maps, choose "Get directions" and select your mode of transport and input your desired point of origin and destination. Google Maps will then plot out the recommended route as per usual.
Next click on the "3D" play button and the view zooms in to the Helicopter View and follows the recommended route. Users can pause the progress by clicking the pause button in the bottom left of the map window to explore the map by the usual clicking and dragging - or to wait for the image data to download. Users can also jump ahead to any point with a click of a different step in the text directions in the left panel, while switching back to 2D mode is accomplished with pushing the 2D button in the left panel.
So head over to Google Maps, buckle up and enjoy the flight.
That is super information!! Thanks for sharing it.Alexander Thornade

When you hear that a player was "rusty" in their first game back from an injury, what images start dancing in your head? Do you envision him lacking energy or a powerful first stride? Or maybe he's mishandling the puck and making bad passes? Whatever it is, you know the tell-tale signs and they are fairly recognizable. But for goaltenders, the signs or "symptoms" are not quite as noticeable – especially if your name is Ryan Miller.
I have suffered an injury late in a regular season, so I know it's significantly harder to return and play strong as opposed to being injured in October. The reasons are obvious - the pace is so much faster and feverish in March and April than at any other point in the season and the pressure is intense. Teams are fighting for the playoffs and need to win every game possible. And what "bubble" team needs their goalie more than Buffalo?
Because of the pressure continuing to build up in every game, timing and focus instantly become the biggest factors in a goalie successfully returning from an injury. Let's also not forget that on top of the pressure to perform at the highest level instantly upon return, there's also the physical pressure from more traffic and rough play in front of the net. Welcome back to the NHL Mr. Miller, would you like one of our complimentary barf bags on your flight?
Miller didn't need one - he defied all odds by returning from a high ankle sprain without missing a single step. He made 33 saves on 36 shots against Toronto on Friday night and followed it up on Saturday by making 32 saves on 35 shots against Montreal. I was totally silenced by how well Miller did in both games because not only was he physically up for the challenge, mentally he showed not one sign of rust.
Now Nikolai Khabibulin returned from his groin injury a few weeks ago and lost three straight games and allowed 12 goals against during that stretch. Chicago lost two of those games by only one goal. He broke the streak by only having to make 14 saves on 15 shots in a 4-1 win over the Kings and then won his third straight game after making 28 saves in a 3-2 win over the Devils on Saturday night. It seemed like all was back to normal for the Bulin Wall.
But it all came tumbling down again last night against Vancouver in a 4-0 loss, one in which he only made 18 saves on 22 shots. So Chicago still has net issues on top of their inconsistency in the scoring department. Now the pressure has built to the point where Huet might get one more chance to turn things around, despite Quenneville's decision to roll with Khabibulin for the rest of the season. It's a tough choice, but that's why he's paid the big bucks. I say toss Huet in for one more game – it wouldn't hurt anything and Khabibulin could use another kick in the rear.
What made Khabibulin "rusty" in the first place was the lack of consistent focus, the terrible placement of rebounds and the unfortunate mental lapses that resulted in goals. He just couldn't keep up in his first three games; he was called for playing the puck outside the trapezoid and the timing of his movements and the inability to safely re-direct rebounds was not very efficient. Basically it looks like with only 35 games played, it will be nothing more than a frustrating season - for when was the last time Khabibulin played less than 40 games in a season anyways?
Again, Miller's feats over the weekend were so impressive because he didn't just lack the "rust" that most goalies (or any player) would have returning from a high-ankle injury, but he actually looks stronger. I watched his movements closely in the games. He seems rested, sharp and it showed in his vigorous movements. His understanding of what the Sabres needed from him as he rehabilitated must have been quite stressful, because their playoff hopes depend on his play. So what has been the main difference between Khabibulin's slow start and Miller's smooth ride?
Besides their different injuries and the fact it would take Khabibulin longer to return, it comes down to their mental preparation while out of the lineup. After doing some research, it turns out that Miller said publicly on Monday, March 16 that he would continue increasing his on-ice time through the week, even though he was unsure of a timetable for his return. So despite the fact he injured the same part of the ankle that a goalie relies on to butterfly efficiently, he still pushed hard in practice and mentally did everything he had to do to re-gain his timing in time for Friday's return.
There's a reason why Miller works so hard on his pre-game focus rituals – because it is a real x-factor in separating good games from great games. Those two or three extra saves in a game make all the difference in the world. The real key seems to be spending each minute in practice as if it were a game. A rusty body results from a rusty mind – if they stay focused and work hard in practice and goalies will most likely scale the walls of a serious injury.
Besides, wasn't that extreme focus in practice what made Dominik Hasek so tough to beat in games? And one of the most honest guys to give an interview after a game, Tim Thomas mentioned on NESN that he didn't feel any rust after playing in his first game in 10 days after making 45 saves against the Flyers. It's no coincidence, folks.
Just a month ago it looked like Cam Ward was going to finish with a second straight season of mediocre numbers. He was horrible at times…but he was also magnificent at times, more specifically in March. Ward is one of the hottest goalies in the league right now, putting together a fantastic stretch that is eerily similar to last season.
Ward only allowed nine goals against in five straight wins to start the month of March in 2007-08 and ended up 9-2-1 overall with 23 goals against and one shutout. This year he allowed eight goals against in four straight wins to start the month of March and compiled an overall record of 10-1-2 with 26 goals against and one shutout.
While Ward has benefitted partially from a team playing strong in front of him, he is also in much better shape. I'm sure you remember that he lost close to 20 pounds a few years ago, so it looks like his current display of stamina and strength is a result of that season of intense off-season training. He admittedly has put some of that weight back on, but on a nightly basis he proclaims total comfort and no problems with energy.
I think Ward's consistency has improved more than any other area of his game, and that is a result of the great coaching of Tom Barrasso. Along with his mental preparation and his attention to detail in practice, Ward is turning into a well-rounded and matured netminder. How about allowing two goals or fewer in 17 of his last 23 home games? Yeah, I think it's safe to say Ward is on a very nice roll as Carolina continues to secure a playoff spot.
Considering Chris Mason missed a few weeks in October with an appendectomy and didn't win his first game of the season until November 20, I think it's safe to say that Mason wins the award for the biggest second-half turnaround for goaltenders. March has been Mason's best month, as he has gone 9-4-1 in 14 games and is only allowing two goals per game over the last six.
But now Mason's real test is on the horizon, as Mason must duplicate his performances almost solely on the road for the rest of the season. The Blues play five of their last six games away from St. Louis and they will probably have to win four of them to safely make the playoffs. It's tough to believe Mason is being stretched too thin right now, but how long before he starts to show signs of wear and tear? This is where durability and the ability to stay mentally focused while physically tired is a crucial factor in outlasting opponents and winning hockey games.

OpenAMQ is a fast, stable, free implementation of the AMQP (www.amqp.org) messaging protocol. It gives applications high-performance messaging (delivery of opaque data) across loosely connected networks. It is capable of handling up to 600k messages per second depending on the hardware, with a latency around 300 microseconds. It is multithreaded and supports C/C++ and Java on Linux, AIX, Solaris, OS/X, Windows, and OpenVMS.
The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialized messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols, and more.
Bonka's Queue is an HTTP-based message queue that relates to JMS or AMQP much in the same way that CouchDB relates to traditional DBMSes. That is to say that it tries to solve a different (much simpler) problem and avoid all the extra overhead associated with more "proper" solutions.
PICI-NMS is an object oriented middleware which makes possible sending messages in a networked environment or on a single host between applications using the library provided. The supported message sending mechanism is "publish/subscribe" and this is backed up by a very easy-to-use and intuitive C++ API which hides the underlying socket interface to make the message sending as transparent to the client as possible.
The SMS Server Tools 3 is a SMS gateway that can send and receive short messages through GSM modems and mobile phones. Messages are sent by simply storing text files into a special spool directory. It also stores received messages into another directory as text files. Binary messages including Unicode text and ring tones are also supported, and it is possible to send WAP Push and system messages. The program can run scripts after events like the reception of a message, successful sending, and when the program detects a problem.
TurnKey ejabberd Appliance is a server appliance that combines ejabberd with Speeqe to create a live chat server that supports strong encryption and works with any Web browser or XMPP client. ejabberd is a powerful XMPP server that supports clustering, live upgrades, shared roster groups and provides support for virtual hosts. It is designed to be easy to use and easy to maintain. Security patches are automatically installed. It provides a Web management interface, configuration console, and an AJAX Web shell. To minimize footprint the appliance is built from the ground up with the minimum required components. It runs everywhere thanks to multiple build formats, including an installable live CD, a VMDK with OVF support, and an Amazon EC2 AMI.

Local tourism leader Rogers Valencia Espinoza addresses the gathering. Tourism Cares CEO Bruce Beckham is shown at right.
Our whirlwind adventure in Peru was wrapped up with a boisterous welcome back to Cusco for a cleanup project at Mercado San Pedro, a major downtown market in this mountain city. Following official welcomes from local tourism leaders and remarks by Tourism Cares CEO Bruce Beckham, we got started.Tourism Cares teams supplemented by lots of local volunteers addressed numerous facilities at this busy park. Some crews painted light poles, while others painted kiosks. Other groups went to work painting the marketplace's exterior walls, while others painted and filled flower pots that had long ago become filled with trash. We worked hard for a couple of hours before taking a wonderful lunch break that included sandwiches and the local specialty, Peruvian corn on the cob. These ears of corn feature huge kernals--some the size of marbles--and are served hot. All of us were hooked on this local delicacy by the time we left the country.That afternoon, we went back to work and put second coats on many items and did a lot of trim work around railings and windows. Our video crew, Terrapin Blue, out of Athens, Georgia, got lots of great video of the event, plus many stills. Since I was working, I did not shoot any photos of this event and want to give thanks to Ryan and Jill Kelly, the company's owners, for sending these shots for this final blog.
About 40 Tourism Cares volunteers from the U.S. participated in the restoration

Tourism Cares: Peru 2012
Terraced hillsides step downward from the city's walls and courtyards
Understandably, Machu Picchu regularly rests atop the various bucket lists of worldwide travelers published by magazines and websites. Its iconic images of a "lost world" resting high in the Andean mountain range are immediately recognizeable to most of us, like the Taj Mahal or Egyptian pyramids would be. We took a winding bus ride up the mountain from the small village of the same name after an hour and a half train ride from Ollantaytambo to get here.
Our guide was careful to point out the variations in stone architecture that separated the living quarters here from the sacred temples or structures that addressed the Inca's spiritual beliefs. As with Christianity, the number three was sacred to this culture and was represented in various ways--the sun, mother earth and water, for instance, or their elevation of three creatures to spiritual status--the condor, the puma and the snake.
The Incas were master architects and builders, and they built Machu Picchu with earthquakes in mind, using distinct angles for windows and doors that would allow stones to compress into one another as opposed to away from one another in the event of a tremor or worse. Their craftsmanship as masons was extraordinary. Thus, 600 years later, many structures in this citadel are entirely or almost entirely intact. The Incas used a calendar they created from the movement of the sun through the seasons which allowed them to build sacred windows that were positioned to capture the sun's direct light on specific days of the year. Their calendar was remarkably similar to the one we use today.

A young boy in Ollantaytambo peered down an alley as we passed
On Saturday, we visited Ollantaytambo, where we caught our train to Machu Picchu. This village name means resting place for a warrior and high above us on the mountainsides were terraces and garrisons where Incan warriors tried to stop the advance of the invading Spaniards. We saw the Incan canals that ran beside most streets that carried fresh water from high in the Andes and offered sanitation 600 years ago. We also saw the small crosses and team of bulls that rest on many rooftops to show reverence for God and prosperity for the dwellers inside. It was a beautiful morning and this village was busy in its role as a conduit for many travelers making their way to Machu Picchu, about an hour and a half away by train.

I'm in Peru with Tourism Cares for a restoration project at Cusco's Mercado Central de San Pedro park, where we'll be removing grafitti, painting its walls and planting flowers in old flower beds long filled with trash. We're also visiting Machu Picchu, one of the world's most treasured archaeological sites that rests some 8,000 feet above sea level in this country's Andes Mountains. This raucous welcome with costumed dancers was given to our group on Friday, May 4, prior to a day-long tourism summit with local officials, professors and dignitaries. Peru ranks very highly with affluent travelers in the United States and sends the second most visitors here after neighboring Chile. Tourism Cares CEO Bruce Beckham brought a blue chip panel with him and asked USTOA President Terry Dale to moderate a discussion of how this country can continue to grow its American travel business. Industry leaders here are into serious long-range planning to deal with the sustainability issues that arise with an ancient site that draws so much visitation like Machu Picchu does. Several local professionals including Rogers Valencia Espinoza of Andean Lodges and Ruth Shady, an archaeologist who helped to discover Caral, the oldest city in the Americas, led a discussion of those plans and gained input from the American tour operators in attendance.

The primary theme of Peruvian industry leaders today is sustainability of their sacred sites like Machu Picchu

Tracks for the 2012 Conference
Awareness and Advocacy
Open Source Software, as a movement, dates back to February 2, 1998 (2/3/98), yet even today, almost 15 years later, awareness and adoption are often hindered by assumptions, misconceptions and a general lack of knowledge regarding open source development, support and implementation. Significant resistance can arise across campuses from non-technical stakeholders, unfamiliar with the open source ecosystem. Presentations discussing non-technical issues around awareness and adoption of open source (as opposed to specific OS applications) are welcome. These presentations might include: the introduction of open source options to your campus; the procurement process for identifying and evaluating options (commercial and open); approaches for addressing common and unique concerns; lessons learned in the implementation, etc.
Design and Development
Sharing is critical among communities creating open software. Please share development projects, design approaches, usability and accessibility improvement plans and projects. Topics may also include best practices in design and development approaches that could be incorporated into software in the future.
Deployment and Integration
Presentations for people who need to make applications work on campus: developers, content providers, team leaders, and evangelists. In particular, we would like to highlight work that integrates community source projects within enterprise infrastructure, and with each other.
Expanded Solutions
For most organizations open source software is one important component of a complex ecosystem of systems and tools supporting teaching, learning and research. Please share your experiences and successes integrating solutions to expand the benefit to your faculty and students.
Getting Started
Sessions for newcomers: from faculty to developers, administrators to trainers, students to tech support. Learn the steps to evaluate, plan, deploy, promote, and support software on your campus.
Leadership and Future Directions
Open software is an element within your broader strategy and goals. How are institutions using open software to achieve strategic goals? What changes and opportunities on the horizon should be influencing the direction of the community? What other trends, advances and challenges should become part of our community planning and dialogue?
Teaching, Learning, Portfolios and Research
Technology to improve the quality of teaching, learning and research. Please share case studies of effective teaching, research and collaboration practices as well as new approaches to technology-enabled teaching and research.
Technical Management
Deploying, supporting and managing open software is critical to its success. Please share your best practices and approaches in creating and maintaining open software successfully for your users.

the walls," she says. "I was already in New York and ready to do the
job, then I found out I would be doing it with James Spader, who is obviously
just great. It's been the best working relationship I've ever had, and a lot of
the credit goes to him. He's really generous and very knowledgeable."
Megan joins Steve Edwards, Maria Sansone and Elizabeth Breckenridge on Good Day

Further Adventures in Brandy
Jack Bettridge
Posted: April 1, 2011
We generally think France when it comes to brandy wine because the classics from the Cognac and Armagnac regions are so pervasive and well thought of. But taking your palate on an excursion one country to the South—Spain—can greatly expand your brandy horizons, especially if you enjoy pairings with cigars.
Brandy de Jerez, the product of the same region that gives us Sherry wine, has enjoyed immense popularity in Spain for a half a millennium and now has found a major booster in the United States in the personage of Lou Manso, the importer of Manso & Contreras Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva.
Like French brandies, Manso's pour reflects the charms of distilled wine that has benefited from long-cask aging. Unlike the Gallic interpretation, it plays not so much in the flowery end of the flavor spectrum, but a deeper, fruitier section with its reflections of Sherry.
Manso's journey into Spanish brandy appreciation started when he was a young man in his early 20s whose business took him to Spain, where he was wined and dined by colleagues. "The guys in Madrid," he says, "were the best hosts. We'd go to lunch from 2:00 to 5:00 and drink wine and Spanish brandy. Then they'd pick me up at 10:00 that night, and we'd do the same at dinner." Not surprisingly, Manso "became very fond of Spanish brandy because of its delightful smoothness."
He brought his taste for Brandy de Jerez to San Diego, where now runs an advertising business, and found "no one had heard of Spanish brandy—the Anglo population anyway." So when Manso visited restaurants in the area he "begged them to bring Spanish brandy."
"I thought people should know about the great quality of these products," says Manso, who enjoys smoking cigars with them. It was this that drove him to create his own brand to import to this country. While a few Spanish brandies—Conde de Osborne, Solera Gran Reserva (with its Dali signature bottle) and Cardenal Mendoza, Solera Gran Reserva—Manso was in a sense making a market for the product here.
The number one customer he had to convince, however, was his wife. "I checked with my wife first and said, 'I want to create a Spanish brandy.' She said, 'Sure honey, just don't forget we have to eat.'"
The next step was to find a producer. Brandy de Jerez is a registered appellation controlled by the Consejo Regulador del Brandy de Jerez (the Brandy de Jerez Regulatory Council) and adheres to specific rules for production, much like Cognac, Armagnac, as well as many whiskies and wines. The Jerez brandy must be produced within the boundaries of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda and aged in American oak casks of 500-liter capacity that previously contained sherry.
Manso's brandy is made from a grape varietal called Airén, which is actually white grape. The color of the liquid derives from the aging system, called criaderas y soleras. This solera method utilizes several tiers of casks through which the brandy is moved over time, mixing newer spirits, called Holandas (a term originating from the Dutch market that was very important to the brandy in the earlier days) with older.
Manso's brandy is of the oldest of the denomination's types: Brandy de Jerez Solera Gran Reserva, which is aged for an average of 10 years.

Yes. Yogurt Soda. Carbonated yogurt. The fact that it was even in the house had Tara screaming. This, from the same woman who gave me permission to purchase and bring home a durian fruit.
I didn't want to make any judgement upon this product until I had a taste. So let me say the following:
A taste is all you'll need to draw an opinion.
And keep the following in mind as well:
There is a very good reason why the phrase "let's grab a bottle of yogurt soda" has never really taken off.
