Throwing the book at people is nothing new, but in our post-9/11 world the screws are tightening. Take San Francisco, whose District Attorney is Terence "Kayo" Hallinan, a progressive fellow. Indeed, in his 2000 re-election bid Hallinan survived years of abuse in the San Francisco Chronicle for supposedly being altogether too slack a prosecutor, with poor conviction rates and kindred offenses betokening softness on crime.
Yet this is the same Hallinan who's hit two gay AIDS activists with an escalating barrage of charges, currently amounting to forty-one alleged felonies and misdemeanors, all adding up to what he has stigmatized in the local press as "terrorism." That's a trigger word these days, as Sarah Jane Olson, a k a Kathleen Soliah, recently discovered when a judge put her away for twenty years to life for actions back in the 1970s.
Held in San Francisco County Jail since last November 28 are Michael Petrelis and David Pasquarelli. Neither man has been able to make bail, which Hallinan successfully requested to be set at $500,000 for Petrelis and $600,000 for Pasquarelli.
Why this astonishing bail? What it boils down to is that the two accused are dissidents notorious for raising all kinds of inconvenient, sometimes obscene hell about AIDS issues. They've long been detested by San Francisco's AIDS establishment, which Petrelis in particular has savaged as being disfigured by overpaid executives, ineffective HIV-prevention campaigns and all-round complacency and sloth.
They've taken kooky positions. Pasquarelli, for example, believes that HIV doesn't cause AIDS. Petrelis hasn't scrupled to form alliances with right-wingers in Congress when it suits his tactical book. Being attacked by them can be an unpleasant experience. Who wants to get phoned in the middle of the night and be asked whether your wife has got your syphilitic dick in her mouth?
The two were thrown in jail because of an escalating campaign they launched late last year amid calls for an expansion of quarantining laws across the country, prompted by fears of bioterrorism. Petrelis and Pasquarelli took after an SF public health official, Jeffrey Klausner, for seeming to endorse quarantining of people with AIDS. They also assailed the media, notably the San Francisco Chronicle, for relaying what the two claimed were inflated statistics about increases in the rates of syphilis and HIV in San Francisco. The higher the stats, the more dollars flow to various AIDS bureaucracies. The Chronicle claimed tremulously that not only had its reporters been showered with filthy nocturnal calls to their homes but that there had been a bomb threat against the paper.
On the basis of what has surfaced so far, the charges and bail are way out of kilter with the facts of the case. Their severity defies logical explanation, unless we acknowledge the loathing Petrelis and Pasquarelli inspire in San Francisco's respectable element and among some well-known organizers.
Take Kate Sorensen, an AIDS activist who herself was held on $1 million bail for leading demonstrations outside the 2000 Republican convention in Philadelphia. The DA there took her to trial on three felonies, though she was only convicted of a misdemeanor. Such experiences have not evoked any solidarity with the San Francisco pair. Wrote Sorensen recently, "I will fight for our right to demonstrate. I will fight for our right to free speech. I will fight this police state, but I will not fight for you."
This self-righteous stance was elicited by an open letter of concern addressing the prosecution of Petrelis and Pasquarelli. Organized by the radical gay civil libertarian Bill Dobbs of Queer Watch, the open letter (go to www.openletteronline.com and look under "Politics & Activism," then "Petrelis-Pasquarelli") has been signed by hundreds, including many well-known gay figures like Harvey Fierstein, Scott Tucker, Barbara Smith and Judy Greenspan. The letter questions the motivation for the charges and makes the scarcely extremist demand that the two get fair legal treatment and reasonable bail.
Moderate though the terms of the letter are, it has aroused much fury from the San Francisco gay establishment, whose animus against Petrelis and Pasquarelli was what apparently prompted Hallinan to have the pair charged and arrested in the first place. On November 15 Martin Delaney of Project Inform, Mike Shriver of the mayor's office and fifteen others published a letter in the Bay Area Reporter urging people to pressure Hallinan, demanding "full prosecution of Pasquarelli, Petrelis and their collaborators."
Petrelis and Pasquarelli have a potent posse howling for their heads. "They fucked with the wrong people," said a health official quoted in the San Francisco Examiner on January 23. The "wrong people" include a broad swath of liberals and leftists in and out of government, the AIDS establishment and media figures.
Time was when a decent death threat used to be a badge of honor in the Fourth Estate. Jimmy Breslin recently recalled to Dobbs his glorious "Son of Sam" days, when violent threats were so routine at the New York Daily News that the paper's switchboard operator was wont to ask callers whether they were registering "general death threats" or "specific death threats for Mr. Breslin."
Granted, Chronicle editor Phil Bronstein is a terror survivor of "Attack by Lizard in the LA Zoo," and his wife, Sharon Stone, is the marquee celebrity for one of Petrelis's targets, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, but Bronstein should remember that Daily News phone operator and get off his high horse.
Hallinan's got a radical past and even radical pretensions. He knows as well as anyone that conspiracy charges have long been used to smash protest. And he knows as well as anyone that militant protest is at the cutting edge of social conscience. It's easy to grandstand about the foul tactics, the obscenities, the all-round vulgarity of Pasquarelli and Petrelis, but should this add up to a demand that they be thrown into prison for years? Of course it shouldn't. Judge Parker Meeks Jr. should resist the entreaties of the posse and cut the preposterous bail drastically or release them on their own recognizance. Hallinan should get his sense of perspective back, and drop the drastic charges.
They're looking for help with college and a reason to believe in government.
The Supreme Court has made a decision that is wrongheaded, and wrong.
There is a value to the much-criticized crawl that zipped along at the bottom of CNN's window during the attack on Afghanistan, beneath clips of dirty traitors and soldier-heroes and starving refugees. As the world's other news ticked blithely by, trivialized by the pictures above it, the ephemeral, superficial crawl reminded us of the worth of words that do not move, and of stories told in columns of type, not in video clips or on film. I don't want to get too sentimental, but isn't the printed page reliable; isn't it familiar; isn't it decent? It feels immutable in a way that other things do not these days. As Walter Isaacson (who is now running CNN) said when he was still at Time: "If the world were based on computers and they told you about magazines, you'd think: 'Wow: what a great technology!'"
Magazines and newspapers (and online versions of these) still often manage to tackle complex stories and say things that have meaning, unlike so much of the media. And meaning, which is so unusual now that content is dead (a friend actually told me that several years ago), meaning generates a ripple of excitement. I found it fun, for example, when Lewis Lapham called the Attorney General "Mullah John Ashcroft" in print, in Harper's, of course. You won't find "Mullah" John Ashcroft doing the crawl on CNN beneath the story about President Bush and his FPS (Failed Pretzel Swallowing). Now that Talk, which had every kind of support behind it, has gone under (in the wake of other recent casualties like Brill's Content, Lingua Franca, Mademoiselle, ON magazine), we can be reasonably sure that the print media is in for further high-temperature shrinking as the economy tightens. This column will check in regularly on the health of content and highlight what's meaningful in print, in general interest and niche publications, and in the little, spirited, idiosyncratic guys one rarely gets to.
What 'The Arab' Thinks
Since the fall of the towers, I've listened to and read so much drivel about "Arab casbah culture" and the "Arabs' nomadic mentality" and about what Arabs think and what really drives "The Arab," that it was good to find Al Jadid, a quarterly published in Los Angeles devoted to Arab culture and arts. The way I found it was unfortunate, however--painful. Suffice it to say that my recent novel (which is about Jerusalem) received from Al Jadid its only English-language notice from an Arab point of view, and the review was not entirely kind. So I was led reluctantly to the magazine, but when I looked into its back issues, I discovered that it contains a wealth of opinion and information that no one else is publishing in English.
I knew Al Jadid was for me when one knowledgeable Arab of my acquaintance told me disdainfully that the magazine was "not influential." I love that; for me, "not influential" means you can read the thing without having to feel you must agree with it. Consider these noninfluential observations, by Elias Khoury, the Lebanese novelist, essayist and editor, on Saddam (yes, the Saddam) Hussein's first novel, Zubayba and the King (2000): For Arab military dictatorships, Khoury writes,
literature became somehow a field associated with the...dictatorship, perhaps because all writing in [such] regimes is like writing intelligence reports. We find a strange mixture between the writer and the intelligence analyst.... Creative writers first become intelligence report writers and then become authors!... The literary world suffered in a terrifying way thanks to this strange combination: Egyptian authors were imprisoned; Iraqi writers lived between exile, prison and assassination; literature in Syria knew a great decline; and in the Gulf regimes, monarchies, emirates and sheikhdoms, the censor is almost the sole author.
Magazines like Al Jadid, which are concerned with niche obsessions or particular groups, also often speak with unintentional authority to the universal, to the general human experience. One of my favorite examples of this--in the Al Jadid "Editor's Notebook" column by Elie Chalala, in the Winter 2001 issue--is called "Poet and Critic Nouri Jarah Laments Standards of Arab Literary Criticism, Rushing Poetry into Translation."
The first interesting thing you discover in this great piece is that "individuals seeking political asylum" are trying to pass themselves off as Great Poets from their home countries, in order to claim persecution. That's a good ruse. Unfortunately, this is the only eccentric thing you discover about the Arab publishing world. Otherwise, we might as well be in New York or London. Jarah states that "decisions of culture [in the Arab world] are based on exchanges of power and influence" rather than on sheer literary merit. He also points out that "the Arab critic-author relationship is one of enmity rather than amity."
Mmmmmm. Oh yes. Really.
Now I understand where my reviewer was coming from.
Woman on the Go
Working Woman was closed by new management (a bank) last September, on its twenty-fifth anniversary. The magazine went on "hiatus," as the holding company that still owns the name puts it. This leaves Woman's sororal twin, Working Mother, still out there in the market because, as one former employee says, "it's easier for advertisers to understand Working Mother's audience; the demographic is more tangible." Doctors' offices are among Working Mother's largest subscriber groups. (In case you are wondering, Ms. is still published but is not advertiser-supported.)
Working Woman was intended to target CEO-level women, who make about twice as much as, say, the readership of Good Housekeeping (which shows no signs of closing down). But the high-end women were more likely to subscribe to Business Week, Forbes or Fortune. Eventually the advertising community deserted the publication, because it could get at the actual Woman readers better elsewhere: at Family Circle, for example, or in the fashion and beauty and shopper magazines.
In an interesting note, Working Mother, which also changed hands and recruited a new staff in September, will now be put out by an editor in chief and a deputy editor neither of whom have ever had children. It's as if you had a white person editing Ebony.
What if we could see the Afghan dead as we've seen the September 11 victims?
It was a mistake--and a beaut--in Matt Bivens's piece "The Enron Box" where he confused the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. It is hereby duly acknowledged and regretted. But what really astonished us was the way it unleashed a slick triple play by the Right-Wing Conspirators (a Class C club that plays the Washington-New York corridor). You've heard of Tinker to Evers to Chance? Well, this was Wall Street Journal to The Weekly Standard to Fox News's Brit Hume. The WSJ caught Bivens's blooper; then The Weekly Standard grabbed amd waved it long enough to say "Nyah, nyah" before Brit (Mr. Inside) Hume gobbled up the ball and hinted darkly of cover-up (or something) on Fox News. This dazzling play illustrates how the opposing team will seize on a minor miscue and use it to clear George W. Bush of any involvement in the Enron scandal. OK, we admit the error shows we are sometimes sports-challenged; next time we'll check with a baseball expert like George Will. Lest the real issues be lost out in right field, however, we bring you a comment on Bush and baseball posted by the witty sportswriter Charles Pierce, a commentator on NPRs Only a Game and the author of Sports Guy: In Search of Corkball, Warroad Hockey, Hooters Golf, Tiger Woods, and the Big, Big Game. He posted it on Jim Romenesko's Media News (www.poynter.org):
"As to The Nation's unfortunate collision with the national pastime--the passage ought to read:
'When George Bush co-owned the Texas Rangers with a bunch of businessmen who had all the real money, construction began on The Ballpark At Arlington, after the ownership group finagled the eminent domain laws in order to swindle some property owners out of the market price for some valuable land. The property owners sued and won, but The Ballpark arose anyway, enabling Mr. Bush to cash out his original investment several times over without ever having done any actual work. This helped launch the successful portion of his political career, culminating in his becoming President of the United States, a job from which he took an evening off last spring in order to be the guest of Kenneth Lay for the opening of Enron Field in Houston. Mr. Lay was CEO of Enron and a well-known political supporter of the president who, these days, of course, would not recognize him from a box of turnips.'
"The Nation, I am sure, regrets the error."
Indeed we do.
One of the major falsehoods being bandied about by apologists for the Bush Administration is that while Enron may have bankrolled much of the President's political career it got nothing for those
Welfare reform has left America dangerously undefended against hard times.
As the chairman of Artemis Records, the company that released Cornel West's CD, Sketches of My Culture, I considered criticizing Cornel for his association with Lawrence Summers, president of Harvard. Without ever listening to it, Summers attacked West merely for having released a CD, dismissing the entire universe of recorded music as being "unworthy of a Harvard professor." But like most record executives, I'm more tolerant of unorthodox associations than Summers, so I'll continue to judge West by his work and the inspiration it provides.
Among the flurry of press reports sparked by the controversy--most of which alluded to the alleged "rap CD"--quite a few couldn't get the facts straight. The New Republic claimed that West "has spent more time recording a rap CD and stumping for Al Sharpton than doing academic work." In fact, West has canceled only one class in twenty-six years of teaching, and that was several years ago, to deliver a lecture in Ethiopia. West recorded the CD during a leave--a long-established privilege in academia. (Summers himself took a leave from a professorship at Harvard to work for the World Bank.)
A Summers aide has said that the confrontation with West was a "terrible misunderstanding," but it's possible that Summers knew exactly what he was doing, using West the way Bill Clinton used Sister Souljah: to placate conservative elements of his constituency. Not only did Summers harshly criticize West's published work, he acknowledged that he had not read any of it or listened to the CD. Moreover, it's obvious that what disturbs Summers is not the notion of a Harvard professor engaging in political activity but West's particular beliefs: He criticized West's involvement with Bill Bradley, Ralph Nader and Al Sharpton, but Summers himself supported Al Gore (as did West's friend and supporter Henry Louis Gates Jr., head of the Afro-American studies department). Summers has been silent as his supporters have misrepresented West's record and called him names. Two examples: The National Review's Rod Dreher referred to West as a "clownish minstrel" and the New York Daily News's Zev Chafetz called him "a self-promoting lightweight with a militant head of hair."
West's decision to record a CD is in keeping with a commitment to spread his ideals and ideas as far and wide as possible. His book Race Matters has sold more than 350,000 copies and is one of the most influential books on race of the past couple of decades. His other works are used as texts in college classes around the world. There is no other public figure who is welcome in academia, in the media, in both conventional and activist politics and in the religious world.
By the way, Sketches of My Culture is not a "rap" CD. West, like most contemporary music critics, acknowledges that hip-hop is a vital cultural language. But Sketches itself is a concept album that is predominantly spoken word surrounded by r&b music, a montage that includes limited and focused uses of hip-hop language. Like any work of art, it's open to legitimate criticism, but it is clearly a serious attempt to use a modern art form to grapple with the themes that have animated West's career: black history, spirituality and political morality. There is not a word of profanity on it.
The indefatigable West has reached out to poor communities, moderating the crucial final panel at a recent "Rap Summit" and appearing on urban radio shows that had never been graced by the presence of an academic. I have seen the faces of young people inspired by West's linking of their own aspirations to the civil rights struggle and to the great philosophical and religious traditions. He urges them to live up to those examples. It has said something to the broader American community about Harvard that Cornel West is a professor there, and it will say something about Harvard if he is not.

Apede and Cciap do not support direct contracts at Tocumen Airport
De prensa.com
14/07/2012 - The Chairmen of the Panamanian Association of Business Executives (Apede) and the Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture do not support the direct contracts awarded at Tocumen International Airport.
Apede's Chairman, Félix Cuevas said to Prensa.com the position of this organization has always been to obtain benefits for the government through bids. "We do not agree with direct contracts", he said.
On the other hand, Cciap Chairman, Irvin Halman said companies like Tocumen S.A. which belong 100 percent to the government must fulfill with the processes the law and its regulation has established for awarding the concessions so contracts are not only functional but impartial and unquestionable.
The statements given by both chairmen refer to the investigation made by La Prensa in which a new direct contract mechanism through invitation, without the need of making it public, approved by Tocumen, S.A.'s Board of Directors in July, 2010, by which Republic Parking Tocumen, S.A. was chosen to build, manage and operate the parking lots of the passenger and cargo terminal, increasing in 66 percent such service cost.
Republic Parking Tocumen, S.A. was created four months before the current government awarded the concession at Tocumen International Airport. Such company has connections with Consorcio Asociación Accidental RPS formed by Republic Parking System International, LLC and Republic Parking Albrook, S.A., which was awarded with a $3.4 million contract with the Civil Aeronautics Authority (AAC) for the study, design and concession of the parking lot plaza of Marcos A. Gelabert Airport, and the restoration of the access road to the terminal.
La Prensa's investigation also stated that Tocumen, S.A. has awarded around $3 million in direct contracts to companies related to employees and relatives of Javier Pariente, who was appointed by President of Panama, Ricardo Martinelli as directive of the Panama Pacifico Special Economic Area.
Productos y Procesos Industriales, S.A. (Propinsa), whose president is Javier Pariente, is one of the companies awarded with direct contracts with Tocumen Airport during the current administration.
Pariente was Executive Vice-president of Importadora Ricamar (Super 99's corporate name) and currently appears as dignitary of several companied along with President Martinelli.

Dear friends,
We'd like to update you on a big change with our bakery.We've decided to cease operations at this time. There are three reasons why:
This past month our wheat mill has been out of commission. It's not financially sustainable for us to continue at our current location. Lastly and most importantly, I've realized that I'm unable to maintain the bakery at its current level given my day job and other responsibilities. The wheat mill being out of commission has given us the opportunity to step back and evaluate where we are at.
Being a part of our community and neighborhood through the bakery has been an incredible blessing. That said, we've decided to shift gears. The Bicycle Bread Company with its current structure, location and schedule will be ceasing to operate. We are praying for God's guidance in what is next for BBC.
We would like to say thank you to all our friends, supporters and customers! It has been amazing to be on this journey with you. Ben and I started this bakery 5 years ago with a desire to serve in our neighborhood and share the love of God – we couldn't have imagined what an amazing adventure it would be!
We have been so blessed by the many opportunities to serve with other organizations and ministries in our neighborhood – spaghetti dinners each year through with the high school runners in SRLA, hosting field trips to the bakery, high school interns, college interns, partnership with theNehemiah House, John Tracy Clinic, 24th Street Theater, Raymond Community Garden, South LA Christian Life, World Impact, ANNA, WAHA, UNIDAD, West Adams Moms Club, and many others! We deeply value the relationships we have been able to have with our restaurant friends atBacaro, Mix N' Munch and Blu Elefant! And to the many volunteers who spent countless hours baking and biking with us – you're always in our hearts!
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We're closing this chapter – we'll keep you updated on what's next for the Bicycle Bread Company!
Grace and peace,
Stephen and the Bicycle Bread Team

text: Well there was at least one spice that was readily available throughout most of Europe to just about everyone, I suspect, and that was mustard. Two of the three species of mustard plants are native to Europe according to The Penguin Companion to Food. Most of the pre-17th century culinary texts I've looked at have at least one recipe for mustard sauce. One of the things I struggle with is the concept that a cook of these time periods would be trying to "cover the flavors" of other ingredients. Yes, certainly herbs (fresh & dried) were used but when I've looked at a 16th century herbal it discusses the humor of the particular herbs. I think it was far more about, in the cook's mind, balancing the humors of the food to the person and situation in which is being served. Euriol Euriol of Lothian, OP Clerk, Order of the Pelican, Kingdom of Æthelmearc Chronicler, Barony of Endless Hills "I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy." -Robindranath Tagore, Poet/Playwright/Essayist 1913 Nobel Prize for Literature ----- Original Message ---- From: Ian Kusz <sprucebranch at gmail.com> To: Cooks within the SCA <sca-cooks at lists.ansteorra.org> Sent: Fri, November 20, 2009 12:28:31 AM Subject: Re: [Sca-cooks] Myth of Spoiled Meat I have a question, though, about the availability of spices. Not all things used to flavor food are, necessarily, imported. Garlic can be grown throughout most of the world, and is included in many old recipes. Sorrel has a strong flavor. Mint is also quite strong. I wonder if one can use these and other herbs (too many to list), as "spices" to cover the other flavors of meat, whether it is gaminess, or what have you. Also, wouldn't these be more available to the poor?

Katie Vanzago talks about running from her home--with her baby boy in her arms. As she stood outside, she started believing her husband didn't make it.
Vanzago says, "I grabbed my son and I ran outside, I put him in the car. I drove up the street, locked the doors and went back for my husband because I could hear him calling my name and then a fire started. I called 911 and then another explosion happened. I couldn't get to my husband."
The 911 calls are emotional. You can hear Katie screaming, "Please, please, please. God, please. Oh Dear God! I can't find my husband."
Admist explosions, fire and panic-Katie went back for her husband.
Vanzago says, "I just couldn't get to him and so I had thought I lost him and I thought they were just taking him to the hospital as standard precaution. I thought he was gone."
Katie was sleeping when the explosion happened. The mother of two works overnight as a nurse. Her older daughter was at school when the fire broke out.
"I heard a loud explosion and I felt, it felt like somebody took me by the shoulders and just put me downstairs."
The fire killed the family dog and cat. Brad was rushed to the hospital.
Katie says he's in bad shape. Brad lost his left eye and hand, and part of his right foot. He has severe burns, and his lungs are filled with toxins.
Channel 6's Chase Moffitt asks, "Are you able to talk to him? Do you think he can hear you?"
Vanzago says, "I know he can. I talked to him today to tell him how much everybody loves him and that everything is going to be ok. I keep telling him that my son is ok."
If you would like to help the Vanzago family, there is a fund set up at Wells Fargo.

The Pont d'Avignon
The Pont d'Avignon - or Pont Saint Bénézet - stops suddenly half-way across the Rhône river but this dramatic medieval bridge remains an iconic landmark, inspiring a famous song.
Click here to book a hotel in Avignon
It all began in the faraway village of Burzet in the Ardèche, about 150 km (93 miles) north-west of Avignon.
Here, a 12-year-old shepherd named Bénézet was tending his flock one day in 1177 when he heard a divine voice instructing him to go to Avignon and build a bridge.
The legend maintains that Bénézet (pictured below, proudly holding a miniature of his bridge) hoisted the rock effortlessly aloft and threw it into the river, where it became the support for the bridge's first arch.
Funds from the faithful came flowing in and the project was built within eight years. Alas, Bénézet did not live to see it: he died of exhaustion, aged 19, the previous year in 1184.
A chapel housing his tomb was built on the bridge and his remains were kept there until, when the bridge was threatened by flooding, they were moved to Avignon's Célestine monastery in 1674, then moved again to Saint Dider of Avignon church, where they now repose.
Divine visions aside, there were very sound earthly reasons for building what would be, for many years, the only stone bridge along the 300 km / 186 mile stretch of the Rhône between Lyon and the Mediterranean.
It spanned the Rhône river between Avignon and Villeneuve lès Avignon on the opposite bank, was some 900 metres / 2950 feet long and four metres / 13 feet wide, and consisted of 22 arches (pictured below: the complete original bridge on a 16th century map).
These waters were difficult to navigate because of hidden sandbanks and many people had drowned while trying to cross the river by boat. The new bridge saved lives and, moreover, enabled Avignon to control and levy a tax on the east-west movements of merchants, pilgrims, herders (and, potentially, armies).
You can easily go around the bridge in half an hour, armed with the earphone guide in a choice of nine languages which is included in the price of admission.
Inside the 15th century bridgehead, or châtelet, that guards the entrance, there is a small exhibition of panels detailing the history of the bridge as well as photographs of other famous bridges from around the world (this continues on a lower level, down a part-hidden flight of steps that would be easy to miss).
If you walk to the end of the existing structure, you have views (somewhat obscured by trees in summer) of Villeneuve lès Avignon across the water. Looking in the other direction, you have a splendid photo opportunity of the Palais de Papes.
If you plan to take advantage of this, the best time to visit is the afternoon, when you won't (as in the photo, above) be shooting into the sun.
The Pont Saint Bénézet has achieved world-wide fame thanks to the song Sur le Pont d'Avignon, originally composed (though with a different melody) by the 16th century musician Pierre Certon.
Where: Pont Saint Bénézet, rue Ferruce, 84000 Avignon. Tel: (+33) 4 90 27 51 16.
The Pont Saint Bénézet is open all year round. Click here for opening times and admission fees to the Pont Saint Bénézet. It is cheaper to buy a pass to both the Palais des Papes and the Pont.
Cheaper still is the "Avignon Passion" pass. Pick it up on your first visit to a local monument and you will get discounts of between 10% and 50% to subsequent attractions both in Avignon itself and in Villeneuve. The card is valid for 15 days and can apply to up to five persons. More details from the Avignon Tourist Office.

Registry Cleaner 2015 1.0
Clean your registry and optimize the reading speed
Registry Cleaner is a software utility designed to help you regain the lost performance, by scanning and cleaning your system's registry of any residual entries and unnecessary data. In order to do this, it performs a scan operation beforehand, which detects any sort of problem related to your applications. These issues are then displayed for you to see as well, before proceeding with the cleaning procedure.
In addition, you can also optimize the overall reading speed of the registry, to minimize the access times and offer you a smoother experience. The application displays a meter depicting the state of the system, which varies depending on the amount of errors found in your data. It is worth noting that the optimization process requires a reboot, so do not venture too far into the operation before saving any documents you may have open.
Restore the system settings and modify the scan options
Sometimes, you might bring modifications to your computer that might not work in the way you originally intended, leaving you unable to take full advantage of the operating system. For this type of situations, Registry Cleaner provides you with a restore function, which enables you to revert back to previous settings.
As far as the actual scanning procedure goes, you are allowed to change the items to be checked in the process by the application, by selecting the desired ones from the available category list. Hence, you can choose whether to scan the most recently used files, uninstall entries and the software paths found on your system.
In conclusion
Thanks to the fast scan times and the useful optimization options, Registry Cleaner is a handy utility to have around on your computer if you are having trouble getting the most out of your operating system. In addition, the included restore function can save you from a lot of headaches and successfully revert back to a previous set of settings.

Gunter Joachim ★★★★★
Really enjoy the layout. It's structured and understandable.
It is an understatement to say that the forex markets of the world are immense. The high level of turnover indicates that the forex market is an efficient market, ie price discovery is sound. It is a quote-driven market (as opposed to an order-driven market) and it is firmly the banks' province. They quote bid and offer rates simultaneously once the volume of the transaction is disclosed, and the quote recipient can deal either side of the quote. As in the spot forex market, the derivative forex market is efficient, allowing, for example, a company to do a large forward deal as quickly as a spot deal. The company can also do currency swaps, forward-forwards, option date forwards, and more, at the drop of a hat. In this book all aspects of the forex market are covered: organisational structure, cross rates, spreads, quotation conventions, role and importance of exchange rates, participants, relationship with the balance of payments and the money stock, and other relevant issues.

Paris - Pastries??
Hi All: Am leaving for Paris on a week long vacation and want to do a tour of the better boulangeries/pastry shops while I am there. Any suggestions/recommendations?? Thanks in advance!
might be more of a chocolate place, but pierre herme is a necessity. the macaroons (something i was not necessarily gung ho about before going there) are unbelievable.
re: Miffy2020
Like many others, I thought the breads at Maison Kayser on rue Monge (5eme) and the pastries at Gerard Mulot (rue de Seine, 6eme) were fabulous and delicious. Next time, I'd love to try Aoki. Although I enjoyed the macaroons at Laduree, I wasn't blown away by them (probably a victim of over-high expectations!)
Finally, although it's not a patisserie/boulanger, the ice creams at Berthillon really were out of this world delicious, especially the marrons glaces and armagnac with prunes!
Check out Dorie Greenspan's book, Paris Sweets. Definitely Pierre Herme for the showpiece pastries. Laduree has good macaroons and croissants. Like most breakfast pastries, get them in the morning when they are fresh. Mulot has good fancy pastries and croissants but the bread and the other viennoise are just ok. Au Levain du Marais on r. de Turenne has great croissants, especially the almond; also good breads. The breads and financiers are excellent at Kayser in his rue Monge locations. I don't find them as good in his EK outlets or at Galerie Lafayette. Of course Poilane on r. du Cherche-Midi for his Pain Poilane, raisin bread and apple tart. Strohrer on r. Montorgueil for fraisier, kugelhopf and baba au rhum. Sacha Finkelsztajn on r. des Rosier for Jewish style pastries and breads.
Jean Paul Hevin ,rue Fauborg Saint Honore, is the world's greatest chocolatier(arguably) and has a great lunch room on the top floor of his shop.Simply and absolutely sinful!!!
re: ChefJune
Jean Poujouran did make some wonderful breads and cookies. Sadly, he longer bake for retail customers.
re: notmartha
Linda has quite a palate, so I'd say her recommendations would be good ones, and clearly current.
re: ChefJune
Great! I'll definitely check out the ones on 7th and 15th. My sister told me I must try Gosselin as well. Since it's close to Lourve I'll have to at least get something to sample.
What do you think of Lenotre (not on the above list)? I liked their chocolate dessert while visiting their branch at Las Vegas, and saw from their website and my Paris map that they have a Cafe Lenotre in the Eiffel area. Are the food good (both savory and sweet)?
I remembered their ice cream was very good also.
Hoping to find the patisserie in 7th that was close to the hotel in my visit 10 years ago. They had the most amazing pear-almond tart that I can never get tired of.
re: notmartha
Not sure what patisserie in the 7th you have in mind, Martha, but I definitely recommend Millet, 103, Rue Saint-Dominique. Patisseries to die for.
Lenotre is ok for patisseries, IMO, but not necessarily for food.
re: notmartha
Millet on Saint-Dominique is right around the corner from Rue Amélie.
It could very well be the one you have in mind.
re: Dodo
I second and triple Millet. I'm almost reluctant to tell other people about it, because it's wonderfully quiet as well. They have a small amount of seating, so you can actually order some croissants and coffee and just sit down. Their other pastries are delicious, but the sublime experience is just the croissant beurre.
re: notmartha
Martha, things do change within 10 years!
Gérard Mulot on Rue de Seine (6th arr.) added a small bar and chairs for the ones wanting coffee and croissants as well. In fact, those small businesses all realized they can make a little more money by adding tables and chairs, since they make the money rather with beverages than with the baguettes.

Michaels Stores names MOL 'Carrier of The Year'
Michaels Stores Inc. has named MOL, Ltd. one of its top two transport carriers for 2006. The announcement took place at the Irving, Texas based company's 10th annual Vendor Strategy Conference.Michaels Stores, Inc., the world's largest specialty retailer of arts, crafts, framing, floral, wall d'cor and seasonal merchandise, presented the award at their annual Vendor Strategy Conference on August 26, 2006. Michaels currently owns and operates 909 Michaels stores across the US and Canada. In addition to Michaels Stores, the company owns and operates 165 nationwide Aaron Brothers Stores, specializing in framing supplies and services. MOL transports merchandise for Michaels Stores Inc. to ports of call worldwide as well as managing the intermodal transport to inland bound points.
The carrier of the year award recognizes Michaels' key partners and the contribution they play in helping the company achieve its goals. Although selection was based on a wide range of exacting criteria, MOL's overall customer service and support as well as the availability and condition of equipment, set the company apart from its competitors. MOL's commitment to a new TraPac terminal in Jacksonville, Florida near the site of Michaels' new distribution center also played a role.
'We're extremely pleased to have been named a top carrier for Michaels Stores,' said MOL (America) Inc.'s EVP/COO, Tsuyoshi Yoshida. 'We're proud that we were able to meet the standards necessary to achieve this honor. It's wonderful to be recognized and appreciated by our customers as quality service is a key objective of MOL and its employees.'
