for booking, visit www.hotelviura.com & www.designhouses.org
Located in what might just be one of my favorite countries in the world to visit, the extremely vibrant in color and flavor, Rioja wine region of Spain, Hotel Viura is a marvelous hotel choice for the gypset fresh off of their tour of the nearby grape-filled fields and wineries. Cool and industrial, the Designhouse-conceived structure features cement block towers to house the 33-rooms contained within. The interiors, where guests enjoy two bars and a restaurant, boast warm wood furnishings and scenic views of the nearby mountains. A double dose of wine and design in Spain? I can't imagine anything better.

GTX460 and Dual Monitor SyncMaster 2343
My new PC, running Windows 7 x64, has a GTX460 graphics card and 2 monitors, both are Samsung SyncMaster 2343 (Model 2343NW). They are both connected with the DVI using standard VGA -> DVI adapters.
The problem is that windows fails to recognise that both monitors are SyncMasters. 1 was recognised and the other was a default Non-PnP. Now, when using the NVIDIA Control panel and selecting 'Setup multiple displays' I get 1 analogue display listed along with the recognised SyncMaster. The rigorous Display Detection, fails to recognise the second display.
The display recognised as 'Analogue Display' defaults to a very low resolution. If I attempt to override it to the native resolution of 2048 x 1152, the screen goes bright with blobs and lines and slowly fades to black.
OK, so I thought, I need to update drivers.
I updated the NVIDIA drivers using Windows update option. With the monitor drivers, I downloaded the latest, installed and forced the device listed as default Non-PnP to use the new driver. Now both are listed under device manager as SyncMasters, yet the NVIDIA control panel refuses to respect this.
Using a program called Phoenix EDID designer to review the registry (as per this guide How to fix NVIDIA blurry or fuzzy screen or text caused by driver installation) I see that, of the 2 listed displays, 1 is still shown as the default Non-PnP monitor, the other is a SyncMaster. This leads me to believe that it is not NVIDIA's fault and is in fact a Windows issue.
I did not complete that guide BTW as my issues isn't the same, I was just checking the registry info.
On further inspection of the monitors listed under device manager. I can see that the 1 driver has a 'hardware id' value of 'Default_Monitor' whereas I would expect it to be 'HSP0013'. The other monitor driver (that works) has a 'hardware id' of 'SAM0595'. I see registry entries for monitors 'HSP0013' and 'SAM0595' that refer to Samsyng SyncMaster, but under the monitor config for 'Default_monitor' I see no reference to SyncMaster.
Currently, I can get both monitors to work using the correct resolution of 2048 x 1152, only by swapping the connectors around on the card. The only issue is, and its a big one, is that I have to get on my hands and knees and swap the connectors any time I reboot or the system powers off the monitors when power saving.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

aim, welcome to the Seven Forums.
This is the problem right here,
They are both connected with the DVI using standard VGA -> DVI adapters.
You're trying to get around a hardware limitation with a software solution, and that isn't going to work. Unfortunately the only solution is either a new monitor that has a DVI port, or use a DVI-VGA converter (not adapter as the digital signal needs to be converted to analogue).
I updated the NVIDIA drivers using Windows update option

Actually you could buy a new monitor for what most of those converters go for,
Newegg.com - dvi vga converter
A USB adapter would be another option and a lot cheaper. Only thing is most only go up to 1920x1080, where your monitors are 2048 x 115.

Gabe Watson walked off the field Tuesday, exhausted from the heat after a 90-minute practice but happy about his "wonderful opportunity" now that he had been elevated to the Cardinals' starting nose tackle.
But, Watson cautioned, "The work is not done."
Some work, though, has been done — like trimming the roster, which happened Tuesday when the team cut three veterans: defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy, guard Milford Brown and fullback Obafemi Ayanbadejo.
None of the three fit into the schemes of new coach Ken Whisenhunt. Clancy and Brown had been asked to take pay cuts to stick around, but both declined.
"Whenever you have a (coaching) change, you are re-evaluating guys," Whisenhunt said. "We wanted them back.
"(But) I didn't want it to come down to a situation in training camp where we had to make a decision about these guys based on the money. … They decided they didn't want to restructure, and I respect that."
Brown had been scheduled to make $2.35 million in salary but was going to be a backup behind starting guards Reggie Wells and Deuce Lutui.
Clancy, who was scheduled to make $1.5 million this season, was playing with the first unit. But in Whisenhunt's new 3-4 defensive look, Clancy was not big enough — and his future was set once the Cards drafted Alan Branch to add to Watson.
Ayanbadejo, who isn't a big, bruising blocking fullback, simply never had a spot in Whisenhunt's offense.
Brown's salary-cap hit shrunk from $3.1 million to $1.13 million (with another $1.13 million hit in 2008). Clancy's cap number went from $2 million to $750,000 (both this season and next). Ayanbadejo, who was scheduled to make $720,000 on the final year of his contract this season, will cost $130,000 against the cap.
But the salary cap was not why the players were released, Whisenhunt said.
"We are doing different things offensively and defensively, and out of respect to Kendrick and Milford I didn't want to have it come to the last cut," Whisenhunt said.
Clancy and Brown, who were told by Whisenhunt the plan Monday, did not attend Tuesday's workout. Ayanbadejo did practice — he was still giving pointers to undrafted rookie fullback BranDon Snow as they walked off the field — before being informed of his release.
Ayanbadejo knew from the time Whisenhunt was hired he had an uphill battle to make the team. Free agent signee Terrelle Smith, a natural blocking fullback, is the team's starter. And running back J.J. Arrington is slated be a third-down back, another of Ayanbadejo's strengths.
Brown was replaced as the second-string right guard Tuesday by undrafted Louisiana State rookie Brian Johnson. Elton Brown is the backup left guard, while tackles Mike Gandy and Oliver Ross can also play guard, Whisenhunt said.
Watson, meanwhile, has shed some 38 pounds to get into shape and earn a chance to start. Currently weighing 336 pounds, the team wants him to eventually get to 330 pounds. Watson said his target is more like 320 or 325.
"(The 3-4) plays into my strength," Watson said. "Losing so much weight … my technique is better, my recovery is better.
"I have been working for this. Now I get the chance to show it."
EXTRA POINTS: The Cardinals hired Reggie Terry to be their director of football administration. Terry, who has spent the last seven years working for the Syracuse University football program, will inherit some of the duties that had been done by the departed John Idzik. Idzik, who had been the senior director of football operations, left in February for a job with the Seattle Seahawks. …
Safety Terrence Holt returned to voluntary work Tuesday.

When you are a child there are so many things that are unknown to you like bacteria going through the air. As a child all you really see is a bunch of tall people surrounding you like mountain tops and these people are your family and your friends. But friendship and family is something you know nothing about at a young age. All you know is that being such a tiny thing makes you cute and sneezing and burping and crawling around on a dirty floor is some kind of adventure but when you get older and realise the world is not really a safe zone, things become less unknown and more unwelcoming. My name is Minkus, Minkus Bobby Greson and I am one of many to find out what life is truly like when leaving out those front doors.
Middle school going into highschool, if you couldn't handle this then you might as well drop out. Honestly I should have just dropped out because I really couldn't take it. All the separation just all these social cliques and more things I can't even think of at this very moment.. Right about now I was just feeling severely depressed and telling my mother wouldn't help me. She had her own problems to worry about. My father was no longer living. He'd died last year of a heart attack. I don't think anyone could've seen that one coming but after that I knew death did exist. Beside my father I never had anyone to talk to and I have two older brothers that would try to tell me things but it never got through to me. Truthfully writing in my journal was like another world for me. It was like writing to an anonymous person without receiving a letter back in return. It was as if writing how I felt down would really change something but it didn't, I would have to worry about that same problem tomorrow.
I only have two friends. Wesley and Jinx well his real name is Yule Radcliff but we never called him that because with him things just did not go so right, in fact things always seemed to go wrong but not worse than I. But with every set of friends, well you have some good times and bad times. I honestly didn't think I would have still befriended them going into my 9th grade school year of high school. Things do change you know. See Wesley now was more of the sporty kind but before we entered high school, he wasn't that so much. Actually he was pretty pudgy and not so tall. His whole family was sort of on the big side, he was the oldest out of three. In middle school, they used to call him double chin and Mr. two stomachs because he was overweight and ate so much, so he vowed before high school that he was going to change and no one was ever going to call him that again and boy did he not lie about that one. Once he entered high school, he became the kind of guy that could just fit in anywhere. He became more arrogant and more immature and even more stomach than he had been before. Then theres Jinx well as I was saying to you before, his name fits him well but there was something about jinx that he wasn't showing to the naked eye. To me everyone thought of him as this clumsy, disoriented guy because he would come to school with his shirt on backwards. In truth he literally did everything backwards and sometimes I think he did it purposely just to get a rise out of people but who knows. I thought he might have been a bit on the slow side for a second but he was a grade A genius when it came to test. Einstein maybe, he seemed intellectual fit but surely did not look it. He wore glasses with thick black frames and wore jeans that fit him just right and shirts that clung to his chest. Honestly he just dressed like every other dimwit in the school, he always had been the one to follow trends, I never noticed until now. He looked like a normal guy but just happened to be born with a real brain and funny thing is some girls really have a thing for guys with a brain.
Oh almost forgot myself, yeah I'm nothing spectacular just an ordinary kid who blended in with the crowd. If anything I'd call myself a wallflower. I was always there but just never really seen by girls, guys, any living thing, I was invisible. I have blue eyes and light brown curly hair but I think my eye color changes during seasons. I was pale, almost the whitest in my class. I am about 5'5 ½ in height. There again almost the shortest of the guys in my grade. Ugh I just felt so invisible. It was like nothing out of the normal ever happened in my life. Even my friend jinx was having a better time than me, he was always running around playing detective while I was too scared to do anything. At that point I would have rather been picked on everyday of my life than have been unseen but then again be careful for what you ask for because you just might get it.
Actually sometimes I would get sought after by the quote on quote jocks of the school and wesley was always there to see it. Can you believe the guy never stepped up once to say stop this? He just pretended like he didn't see it. Sometimes he would act like he didn't know me. I would wave to him in the hallways, he would just turn his head. It would be a worse reaction if his new friends were there. He'd do some kind of face at me and say " what, you can't be talking to me" and laugh and it would start a chain reaction for his friends to laugh but afterward he come to me and apologize saying, I didn't mean anything by it. Now that I think about, every day that went by our friendship was dissolving. Maybe Wesley was being to in denial about the situation because he didn't want to be a target or lose his precious crowd that he really didn't have a hold on like he think he did.
So I'm a junior now and today is just another school day. One more year and I am out of this place. Which is what every kid would say if they were me or at least in my situation that is. Maybe once I leave, I can have some kind of experience because everything here just seems so generic and seriously programmed or so I thought until this day.
Today wasn't just any old plain school day for me. It was more cloudy in the sky than usual and the back ground color of the clouds were more dark and grey almost as if it were turning night time but the leaves were still changing to the fall color they should've been. In deep thought, on my way to the bus stop where I get on to go to school, I saw this guy with this strange get up. He had some height to him, maybe about 5'8 in height no he was taller than that but then again I'm a pretty short guy remember. Ok so he was somewhat skinny around the waist but he had a lot muscle to him. He could probably take down half the jack asses at my school if they tried to press him. His muscle mass and height might have given him the weight between 160 and 185. He wore these jeans that seemed to be bleached blue with a leather jacket coated with silver stones. His hair stuck up like a rooster, like a windmill sideways colored red. On the back of his jacket it said I breathe anarchy. He wore these boots that seemed similar to what men in the army would have worn on their feet, combat boots and the boots it had different sayings in white ink, things about being isolated, being a pariah, having individuality, rejections, many sayings revolving around the four. I said to myself who is this guy and where'd he come from. In my neighborhood, you'd never see anything like this. He was definitely at of place. He was walking across the street, ending up stopping at the corner where jinx and I usually meet up to walk to school.
As I was walking to the corner I held my head down not trying to look at this guy. He looked like a tough person but he was also pretty young looking to, possibly close to my age but just a few years older. Maybe 19 or 22. But I did not want to draw attention to myself, So when I got to the corner I stood a little bit further off the edge, I stood there wearing a pair of black and white vans and blown out jeans that were ripped at the knee and a regular white t-shirt that was too loose on me. I don't know if I said this before but I am kind of a scrawny dude, so nothing really fits me. I stood there waiting for jinx but he never showed and I was going to be late not that I cared but with this guy next to me I did today.
As I was about to walk across the street to head on to school I see the guy going into his pocket, I flinched a little and realised he had pulled out a cigarette. He looks at me as he puts his cigarette into his mouth and saids "Hey little man you gotta light?" Once again I just stood there not knowing what to do. I was in the middle of the street at this point. I just froze. I didn't notice that standing there in the street a car was coming in my direction but this unknown guy just comes running at me and pushes me out of the way. I thought we were both going to get killed, but the car ended up swerving and hitting a stop sign. I couldn't really see what was going on because when he pushed me I landed on the ground face first. By the time I turned around to thank him which I didn't have the guts to do, he was gone but I was curious to know who he was. I was honestly hoping to run into him again but not so soon.
I was too afraid to head off to school. I was kind of shaken up because I just had a near death experience, so I turned around and headed for home. As I started to head for him, to drizzle rain a bit so I started to speed up so I wouldn't get wet. When I turned on the corner of my block there was a guy limping, holding the side of his chest. I couldn't see at first clearly because this guy had his coat over him. But then I realized how familiar that jacket looked. The words " I breath anarchy" written on the back. It was that guy, the same guy who was standing at the corner, asking for a lighter to his cigarette. Maybe during that car crash he must have gotten hurt. I thought to myself should I see if hes alright or should I hold my head down and keep walking. I didn't know this guy. I didn't know what he was capable of doing. As I started to walk with more speed down my block I saw him slowing up and looking in my direction, peeking from under his jacket. I looked up to see if he knew it was me but that proved to be a mistake because now the rain was pouring down harder and a blast of wind came through making me lose my balance. I fell to the ground, into a puddle of water near my neighbors house. I tried to wipe off the dirt that splattered on me and in my face in the process. In doing so I looked up once again to see if he was there, vision blurred but he was nowhere in sight. I felt confused for a second and then I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I turned around in shock and tried to get up but fell down again. I was now face to face with the guy who in a way saved my life and also scared the living shit out of me at the same time. I had no words for him. I couldn't speak. I just had the greatest look of fear on my face. It was silent for a moment. Then he reached out his hand. I just looked at it and then I stuck my hand out. He grabbed onto me and pulled me up. By now my clothing was soaked and muddy and he was just soaked and hunched over, over on the side in which was injured. We were three houses down. I was deciding to myself once again should I bring him home or just be on my way but as he started to walk, I saw the limp and decided to help him, making him put his arm around my shoulder to let him lean on me.
Now at the front of my doorstep, I fumbled around in my bag for the keys not knowing they were in my pocket. Like I said I was still in shock from what had just happened and I have an injured who again I say saved my life that seems like a force not to be reckoned with leaning against my body, which by the way as making me feel something. While in heavy thought over that, I snapped out of it when I looked in his direction seeing him giving me some kind of look as if he were growing impatient with me. I unlocked the door and walked in after him.

SMYRNA, Tenn. – Chris Young's pain is in his wrists. It started about a year ago – at first numbness, and then sharp pains, all the way up to his elbow.
He'd injured the left wrist in a long-ago motorcycle accident, but it acted up again after he spent months moving heavy pieces of metal, again and again, at Nissan's manufacturing plant in Smyrna, Tenn. Managers moved him off that part of the line. Still, the ache persists.
February was a particularly painful month for Young. Nissan added 10-hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays in its rush to fill orders before the end of the fiscal year on March 1 – that meant getting up at 3 a.m. for a 45-mile commute to the plant for weeks on end.
A couple of years ago, Young crashed his car after dozing off at the wheel during a similarly intense stretch at work.
You're so exhausted from working seven days a week, you're dependent on some drug to stay awake, or dependent on some drug to sleep, or for pain, he says from the L-shaped leather couch at the home he rents in Columbia, Tenn. His 37-year-old body is powerful, built like a football player's, but no longer impervious.
That's the most common thing people are addicted to. And everybody I work with has some type of pain, whether it's hands, fingers, back, feet – something.
Young doesn't actually work for Nissan – he works for Yates Services, an in-house contractor that has hired thousands of people during the past few years to ramp up production as U.S. auto sales take off again. It's a big difference.
Yates is like a company within a company, with separate bulletin boards and rules and procedures. At a plant where workers have resisted unionization, the bona fide Nissan employees are easily recognizable in shirts with logos, which Yates workers don't receive.
And the disparity isn't just symbolic. Yates pays $10 to $18 an hour, which is about half what Nissan employees make. Plus, the gap in benefits is wide. At home, Young pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper from the company that lays out the differences.
I build the same Infiniti SUV that Bob does, he says, referring to a hypothetical Nissan worker. Bob is able to lease a vehicle; I cannot. Long-term disability? Bob gets that; I do not. I can provide this much for my family when I die. Bob can double his base. But Bob and I are on the same line, busting our butts.
On that line, as plant manager Randy Knight sees it: My managers don't look at a Nissan person and a contract worker any different. It's people.
Working for Yates pays the bills but also puts some hard limits on Young's life: He can't get a mortgage, can't say no to overtime, can't save for retirement, can't take a sick day, can't be confident he'll have a job next month.
And Nissan, the first of the foreign automakers to set up shop in Tennessee, is leading a trend. Companies such as Amazon, Asurion and Dell have outsourced their warehouses and call centers to hundreds of staffing agencies that have cropped up in the region.
Tennessee went from having 51,867 temporary workers in 2009 to 80,990 in 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics – a 56 percent increase. During the same three-year period, Indiana's temporary worker employment jumped by 75 percent from 42,352 to 73,962.
As a result of Nissan's hiring blitz over the past few years, Rutherford County's unemployment rate is the envy of the South. Tennessee's political leadership holds it up as a shining success in the global economy – the return of American manufacturing after decades of decline, and the future of work for those left jobless by globalization and technological change.
But to stay competitive with Nissan's plants all over the world, that work has come at a deep discount. And the communities it creates will be far from the picket fence idyll of decades past. Young's fiancée takes care of almost everything for the four children they share from previous relationships, while Young builds cars.
She wonders why he has to work seven days a week.
If you don't want to do it, you clean out your locker and go somewhere else, Young says. It's You make it work, so-and-so did it, so you can do it.' And that's the end of the story.
Nissan built Smyrna. It was Tennessee's first major investment by a foreign automaker, and it has since attracted a constellation of suppliers that support thousands more jobs.
Since the plant opened in 1983, the town has grown from an 8,000-person whistlestop to a patchwork of parkways and subdivisions and strip malls, population 41,000. In the plant's first two decades, getting a Nissan job was like winning the lottery.
Most of the time, if I have a Nissan shirt on, people think I have a new Nissan parked outside, Young says. They think you're making good money. (He drives a 2001 Cavalier with 200,000 miles on it.)
Then came Nissan's brush with bankruptcy in 2001 and a turnaround plan that involved new models and much lower production costs. It started introducing temporary workers in front-office functions, and in 2007 and 2008 held two buyouts in quick succession, reducing its permanent workforce by about a third.
As demand returned, the company started to backfill production jobs with contractors, too – first on the pick line, where workers run parts up to assembly, and then throughout the plant. Nissan won't say what proportion of its 7,000-person workforce is supplied by staffing agencies, but multiple reports from current and former employees indicate that it's a majority.
It's hard to tease out the effect of the new temporary employment base from that of the recession generally. But given the low jobless rate, one would expect residents to have more disposable income. Instead, title-loan and check-cashing places have proliferated.
It's not hard to see why: On his $32,000-a-year salary, Young pays for rent, gas, food and all the things school-age kids need to feel normal – soccer uniforms, dance classes and musical instruments. His fiancée stopped working because day care cost more than what she made as a bartender.
Young knows he could earn more doing maintenance at the plant, but that would mean working odd hours and seeing his family less – it took him three years to work up to a job on first shift, which starts early and ends in the afternoon.
First shift, it gives you the opportunity to have a life, Young says. You get to come home and sleep. You get to come home and put your kids to bed. You get to come home and eat with your family.
Young has one hope of a better life at Nissan: The company says it used the contractors only to increase its staff quickly after the recession and wants to transition more of them into full-fledged Nissan positions once they prove themselves worthy (executives recoil at the word temp, insisting that even the contract jobs are long-term).
They don't understand yet the big picture, Knight, the plant manager, says of community members who are critical of the company. We don't go out in the public and say we're in the process of converting hundreds of people over to Nissan. They don't know that.
But the process can seem painfully slow and its promise elusive, requiring near-perfect attendance, a squeaky-clean record and a decent helping of luck. Young figures he may have ruined his chance, having missed work to show up for court dates to fight for custody of his son. When his review came up for a Nissan job, his supervisor warned him that the absences wouldn't look good.
What am I supposed to do? That's my son, Young says. If he's got to let me go, he's got to let me go. All I got to do is miss that, and it looks like, what type of father am I?
Besides, even for the few hundred a year who are elevated from Yates to Nissan, it's not the plum job their parents knew – the benefits are less generous, the top-out pay not as high. That's the automotive standard now, pressured downward by wages in Mexico and even matched by the Detroit car companies whose unions have conceded to a two-tiered wage system, with newcomers starting out at a lower rate.
Perhaps to compensate, Nissan has done more in recent years to benefit Smyrna in other ways, such as funding a stage for a summer concert that draws thousands of people.
Susan Gulley, a former Nissan temp who left to start an arts venue and cafe in the two-block-long historic downtown – which gets help from Nissan, too – likens the strategy to a family that has cut back on big expenses in favor of smaller, feel-good indulgences.
You go on picnics, you spend less money, but you spend more quality time together, she says. It's not that expensive to get involved, and they know a little bit of help could go a long way.
Despite Smyrna's frustration with outsourcing, Nissan workers have twice rejected one thing that might have been able to slow its rise: a labor union.
The United Auto Workers, weakened by the flow of auto jobs to the unorganized South, held elections at the plant in 1989 and 2001. The last one failed by a 2-1 ratio after an intense company campaign against the union, including a video message from CEO Carlos Ghosn that beamed out to all workers, warning them that the company might invest elsewhere if the plant were to organize.
Ten years later, the UAW renewed its efforts. Unlike with Nissan's plant in Canton, Miss. – where a community group led by local ministers has organized under the slogan Lead us not into Temp-nation – the campaign has gained little traction.
To learn why, talk to Republican state Rep. Mike Sparks. He grew up in town, worked in the Whirlpool and Coca-Cola plants nearby, and was thrilled to land a job on the Nissan assembly line, where he stayed for eight years before starting a used-car business.
He identifies with the working man, and he thinks using temp labor is a betrayal of Nissan's Kaizen management philosophy of continuous improvement.
Sparks says depressed wages are taking their toll on the local economy.
But a union? Gracious no – Sparks is convinced Nissan would pick up stakes and leave, to say nothing of other automakers that might be interested in Tennessee. If UAW gets a foothold, they'll go to Alabama, they'll go to Georgia, they'll go to Mississippi, he says.
The likelihood of any legal curbs on Nissan's outsourcing looks slim. Now it's just the norm, says Bill Canak, a professor of sociology at Middle Tennessee State University.
It sets a standard in the labor market if employers can say, Well, Nissan's only paying that, and they're a world-class organization,' he says.

Fall classes begin tomorrow at Shawnee State University. This is the same day teacher contracts expire.
As negotiations over salaries and health insurance head to the 11th hour, the big question is: will the professors go on strike?
Rallying SSU professors formed a gauntlet of solidarity as negotiators headed into more contract talks.
Teachers complain that salaries at this main Ohio University are much lower than professor pay at branch campuses.
Larry Lonney explains, "We're not paid what teachers at Valley High make with comparable credentials."
But the university says teacher pay here is more than competitive with similar sized schools throughout the region.
Shawnee State says after paying the brunt of teacher health insurance for years, skyrocketing health costs demand hikes in teacher premiums and deductibles.
Teachers say Shawnee State has never been in better financial help with millions in a rainy day fund.
Phil Blau, a young math professor with three kids and a stay at home wife says some of that surplus should go to help pay his health benefits.
Phil Blau says, "Being hit with hikes in premiums and co-pays is too much to take."
A strike is nothing new for SSU teachers went on strike back in 1990 so the question now is, will they again?
Negotiators say there is the possibility talks could continue for a month without a new contract or a strike.
The university won't say if it has a backup plan if professors do hit the picket line.

My true passion really is energy science. Understanding the basic laws & universal principals of energy & how they affect our daily life & our physical body. My journey began a few years ago on finding what I now describe as 'My Truth'. I looked for who I really was & what it was I had to offer to the world. This involved thinking outside the square & really stretching myself to think & feel in new ways about myself & to be open to new dimensions with Spirit. Through this journey of self discovery of practicing what I preach, I now teach & support others to have what I have on their path - Fulfillment! I offer a wide range of healing & reading services to support life change or powerful healing. I offer Tarot Readings & Tarot Courses, Energy Healings (Psychic Surgery) & Divine Relationship Healing either in person or via Skype & Telephone. These sessions are to help lift blocks from areas of your body or your life that no longer serve you, & are making you feel physical body pain, or you feel emotionally stuck, sad, depressed, lonely, angry etc. In sessions I teach the understanding of how universal energy flows, as everything in the universe is made of energy, including our thoughts (beliefs) & our feelings. Once you know the way you have operated until now (in other words, the way you have thought about yourself, or about another, or 'rules' you have applied in your life that no longer serves you) they can then be brought to the light & released, for they are not Divine Truth. Once the release occurs, Divine Truth replaces the old belief in our mind & consciousness when we set this intention - for intention is key. Eg: Releasing a belief that 'money doesn't grow on tree's' to 'The universe always supplies me my abundance in divine ways' is a start. I love my work, love serving the planet & humanity to all raise our consciousness & empowerment to help us reach our highest potential for a life of ease. Blessings from my Heart to Yours, Azraella Raphael

This is what was said to the US media, from those of the United Kingdom, the British Ambassador in the United States, Peter Westmacott. We are not yet in a position to say who it is, but there we are close, he said, stressing that in the analysis of the video that killed the reporter uses the most sophisticated techniques for speech recognition, but he preferred not to add more details for security reasons. According to Cnn, police sources also confirmed the release of American journalist Peter Theo Curtis. The issuer Uses does not provide, however, other details, nor on the place of detention, nor on that of liberation, nor on which group had the reporter. The journalist, kidnapped two years ago in Turkey, Antakya, as he prepared to enter Syria, would have been released through the mediation of Qatar. According to English newspaper the Mail on Sunday, the United Kingdom has posted in the past 48 hours in Iraq and Syria a considerable force composed of soldiers from the Sas (Special Air Service) and of the Srr (Special Reconnaissance Regiment) to conduct high-tech operations that could lead to the capture of extremists within the next few days. The services are using sophisticated detection systems to locate the man in the video and the other three British jihadis, including advancing software for speech recognition and analysis of hand veins. But the commitment on the field you will also need to obtain data on the jihadists on the field, such as Dna, blood and a picture of the IRIS. From the battlefield, writes Sundays, this information is sent through a portable satellite operated by a soldier of an Sas spy plane as the aircraft ' Rivet Joint '. Aboard the plane there is a team of 17 people that processes the information and sends to Gchq, the Government's headquarters for secret communications in Cheltenham. Here the information is analyzed and compared with those of a database on British jihadis who are believed to be engaged in fighting in Syria and in Iraq. The results of this work are then transmitted to the Sas units on the ground. Also details emerge on the Group of the four Beatles, as they call themselves, which keep Westerners prisoners at Raqqah governorate. The head would be ' George ' or Abu Muhareb. The Group would be too sadistic with hostages to the Islamic State, and have been for a period dismissed. German hostage released. A 27 year-old German held hostage in Syria from the State Islamic militants (Is) was released. This was revealed in the Sunday edition of the newspaper Welt am Sonntag, quoting investigative sources. The young man, whose general information were not widespread, is a German Eastern State of Brandenburg and had gone to Syria in June 2013 with the intention of offering humanitarian aid. At the beginning of the year had been delivered a video to the family with a ransom demand and with the images of the execution of another hostage. After the spread of German authorities had started negotiations. The German Foreign Ministry, contacted by the newspaper, ensures that was not paid any ransom. Politics in Baghdad. Meanwhile go on negotiations to form the new Iraqi Government, looking for a difficult balance between Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. Negotiations made more difficult by the Sunni mosque massacre carried out by Shiite militiamen on which Parliament decided an inquiry and that the Sunnis responded with two attacks yesterday and today with a car bomb in the capital that killed at least 7 people. Pending the conclusions of the Commission, the Executive for the future meetings led by Haider al-Abadi have been suspended. An important international endorsement for al-Abadi came from Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, arrived this morning in Baghdad for an unofficial visit in Iraq. In the talks between the two, they know, has discussed the need for international efforts against the jihadist threat Islamic State. .

VANCOUVER — A new law is making it easier for TransLink transit police to crack down on fare evaders, giving them more authority to issue and collect escalating fines, CBCnews.ca reported. Both transit police and transit security will now be able to issue fare evasion tickets. Tickets will still start at $173, but will increase to $213 if unpaid after six months and to $273 if the fine isn't paid after one year. TransLink will also be able to send unpaid tickets to collection agencies. People who don't pay could risk losing renewal or issue of a driver's license or vehicle registration. The agency is also installing new fare gates at transit stations in 2013. For the full story, click here.

News Release: Office of Attorney General Pam Bondi
June 6, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Attorney General's Office of Statewide Prosecution and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's investigation of an organized crime ring that swept the southeast United States, allegedly committing smash-and-grab burglaries, culminated with the arrest of eight suspects. According to the investigation, this group traveled throughout Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and eleven judicial circuits in Florida using stolen cars to crash through doors at major electronic stores, such as Best Buy, h.h.gregg, and Comp USA in order to steal Apple products. This dangerous approach enabled the group to enter and exit the targeted stores in just minutes. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement led the investigation with the exceptional cooperation and assistance of local authorities throughout Florida.
"Thanks to a strong partnership among the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, local authorities, and my Office of Statewide Prosecution, we will now move forward with the aggressive prosecution of these individuals," said Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"My appreciation to each law enforcement partner that assisted in dismantling this brazen, dangerous theft ring," said FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey.
The defendants have been charged with one or more of the following counts: Racketeering and Conspiracy to Commit Racketeering, both first degree felonies punishable up to 30 years in state prison; Grand Theft and Utilizing a Vehicle as an Instrumentality, first degree felony punishable up to 30 years; Smash and Grab Burglary, a first degree felony punishable by life in prison.
The defendants below have been arrested:
Law Enforcement deemed the group as very dangerous as they engaged in high speed chases with law enforcement on several occasions. Several defendants qualify as career criminals under Florida's career criminal statutes. Melvin Haywood, leader of the group, will qualify under the "GORT" Violent Career Criminal Statute, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted of the crimes charged.
This case will be prosecuted by the Office of Statewide Prosecution.

Today marks the start of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, but moms aren't actually using the occasion to discuss breastfeeding. Instead, they're coming together both virtually and physically to support one another over the choice they made when it came to their personal decision about how to feed their babies.
HuffPost Parents helped kick off the "I Support You" campaign with three mom bloggers who have different nursing (or not nursing) experiences. Lisa Belkin closes the piece with this beautiful message: "To all those mothers whove learned the difference between the mother you think you will be and the one you actually are I Support You." You can share your message of support using the hashtag #isupportyou. What will it say?

Sweet almond oil, aloe vera, and vitamins A and E soothe and protect chapped lips so they don't go back to flaky after a few hours.

205 N. Garcia St.
Since 1937
3505 Bluebonnet Circle
Since 1954
What to get: Tostadas and puffed tacos
Both locations are run by the third generation of Modesta Caro's family, and both offer hot, pillowy tostadas and puffed tacos in a frozen-in-amber ambience.
El Fenix (downtown location)
1601 McKinney
Founded in 1918
What to get: Special Mexican Dinner
The new corporate owners promise that nothing's going to change at this iconic Tex-Mex institution, but better go eat a cheese taco soon just in case.
Original Mexican Café
4713 Camp Bowie Blvd.
Fort Worth
Since 1926
What to get: Roosevelt Special
Nothing has changed here since Amon Carter hung out in the bar. If a combo platter with two fried eggs on top of the enchiladas sounds a little heavy, try the enchilada omelet — a cheese enchilada inside an envelope of scrambled eggs.
Palmetto Inn
1817 Padre Blvd.
Since 1945
What to get: #10 Dinner, shrimp cocktail
The shrimp cocktail and shrimp fajitas are tempting with the beach so close, but don't ignore the old-fashioned Tex-Mex at this last location of a once-famous chain. The fresh-fried thick masa chips rock.
Original Mexican Cafe
1401 Market St.
Since 1916
What to get: Tamales with chili con carne
You'd never know you were eating in the oldest Tex-Mex joint in the state — the waiters are clueless about the restaurant's history, and the manager has only been there a few months. The Original was sold to new owners last September. We hope they wake up and smell the chili pretty soon.
Matt's El Rancho
2613 S. Lamar Blvd.
Since 1925
What to get: Old-fashioned tacos
This is another family dynasty. Delphino Martinez pushed a tamale cart on Congress Avenue and opened Austin's El Original in 1925, and his son Matt Martinez opened Matt's El Rancho in 1952. The new location on South Lamar features potent margs and a fabulous patio.
Leal's Mexican Restaurant
1010 W. American Blvd.
Since 1957
What to get: Enchiladas in New Mexican red chile sauce
This West Texas chain started out as Irma Leal's tortilla factory in a tin-roofed building in Muleshoe. Early patrons were mostly migrant farmworkers. Now you can get their tortilla chips at Central Market.
Molina's Cantina
7901 Westheimer
Since 1941
What to get: Enchiladas de Tejas
The meaty chili con carne is what made Molina's famous — it's made with lots of cumin and just a touch of chili powder. Try it over tamales or cheese enchiladas with raw onions on top (enchiladas de Tejas).
A Few Other Suggestions:
Cisco's Bakery
1511 E. Sixth
Since 1949
What to get: Huevos rancheros, Bloody Mary
El Patio
2938 Guadalupe
Since 1952
What to get: Chalupas
Jaime's Spanish Village
802 Red River
Since 1931
What to get: "Dip compuesto" (chile con queso with guacamole)
Moya's Café
401 2nd St.
Since 1938
What to get: Enchilada in Friday sauce
Mi Tierra
218 Produce Row
San Antonio
Since 1941
What to get: Huevos rancheros, Mexican cookies
606 West Ave.
San Antonio
Since 1949
What to get: Puffy tacos
El Ranchito
983 N. Hwy. 123 , Seguin
Since 1941
What to get: Chile relleno

Good Friday morning.
I am getting just a little later every morning to sit down to this keyboard. There is nothing wrong at all, I am feeling real good, even smiling as I drink this good x bold coffee. But I just think that it is good for me to do this. I have felt so much better since I started some of the changes that I have made.
I do appreciate all the patience that all of you have had with me, and all the good things that you have sent me me that I have been able to use in this journal, such as pictures, poetry and lots of other things. Without you I might not even be here today,
And at this later hour it is much easier to use this computer, it works so much better than it did when I was starting at around 2 in the morning.,
Areas of patchy fog early. Partly cloudy with a stray thunderstorm. High 28C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%.
Areas of patchy fog early. Some clouds and possibly an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon. High 83F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%.
I do not think that the tomatoes have an reason to complain after looking at that weather report above. I know that I am going to be late this year but as you all know it was not my fault, but the hail that fell on my garden and wiped it all out.
Now we need to talk about money, it is something that we all must have a little off to survive in this short life. I just want to remind you business owners and any one that has any thing to sell that I am now selling space in this journal that is read all around this world. And the price is right $ 1.00 per day, now that is a bargain. Even if you have lost your dog I might find your pet for you, give me a chance to show you. Write me at firstname.lastname@example.com
About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.
Old age is when you are able to sleep late, you are so old that you wake up early.
Old age is when candlelit tables are no longer romantic you are so old you can not see to read the menu.
We do not have very much planned for today, Mary is going to have lunch with some of her girl friends from South High School where they were in school together. They have stayed very close together since school days, and I think that is so nice that they love one another and want to be friends . DAD
When Mary gets home we plan to visit Grainger county, a county famous their early tomatoes, they are just a few miles east of us, I know several of these growers and I am going to try and bring a few green tomatoes home with me
Please remember our Side Panel. I will be back in the morning if all is well
Bye Bye DAD

Great ambiance can only make a cocktail taste better. Not that the Strand's bloody mary needs much help. The house recipe -- fashioned with hearty tomato juice and a masterful blend of vodka, horseradish, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice, Worcestershire, and Tabasco sauce -- is a winning combination. Complement the eye-popping beverage with a clear view of the Atlantic from the Strand's outdoor deck and the fresh sea air, and you have a concoction that will not only help you shake any of the previous evening's evils, but also put an energetic first step in your day.

'Urgency or emergency?' ads target ER abuse
Send this to a friend
- Staff Albuquerque Business First
Too many people use emergency rooms for non-emergency issues. That prompted Albuquerque's hospitals to join an advertising campaign aimed at keeping people who don't have medical emergencies out of their emergency rooms.
The "Is it an urgency, or is it an emergency?" campaign started this month and features radio and print ads, as well as informational posters in clinics, urgent care centers and other medical facilities. It's an $80,000 effort that is being coordinated by the Albuquerque Coalition for Healthcare Quality and is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
"The purpose of the campaign is to help our Albuquerque residents get the right care at the right time at the right place for the right issue," said Coalition Project Director Pat Montoya. "The campaign is just one of the ways we are encouraging health care consumers to be more active in their health care and doing their part in improving health care quality."
The campaign is based on an effort that was launched in 2008 by the San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington. That campaign ran for a few months, and recently was revived, said Roberta Rogers, marketing manager for the medical center.
The campaign comes as emergency departments across the U.S. are seeing growing numbers of people using emergency rooms to get treatment for nonemergency conditions, such as earaches, sore throats and bruises. Between 1999 and 2008, emergency room visits in the U.S. rose by 35 percent, to 123.8 million, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The 30-second radio spots ask whether consumers are confused about the difference between the emergency department and urgent care.
"Urgent care is perfect for minor injuries, while the emergency department is designed to handle more serious, life-threatening conditions," the ad says, while going on to give examples.
"This is urgent care," it says, followed by a man's voice that says, "I don't feel so good, where is the bathroom?" ... "This is the emergency department," it continues with a woman's voice asking, "Bob, are you OK?" A man responds, "I think it's my appendix."
The emergency room at Lovelace Medical Center in downtown Albuquerque saw 34,597 visits in 2010. Ten to 15 percent of those visits were for non-emergency conditions, which could have been treated at urgent care centers or in doctors' offices, said Dr. Lance Wilson, medical director of the Medical Center's emergency department.
"We do tend to see a lot of patients who need problems to be addressed, but not necessarily in the emergency department," Wilson said. "When we get patients like that, it takes time away from sicker patients."
Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque initiated a program in July 2010 to navigate nonemergency patients out of the emergency room and into urgent care centers or doctors' offices. It has estimated that 25 to 28 percent of the 74,467 visits in 2010 to Presbyterian's emergency room were nonemergencies that could have been treated elsewhere, said Dr. Mark Stern, executive medical director, integrated solutions, for Presbyterian Healthcare Services. Since the start of the program, more than 7,500 patients have been navigated out of Presbyterian's ER and sent to urgent care centers or doctors' offices.
"Presbyterian is pleased to be part of this campaign as we continue our efforts to increase awareness in the community about receiving care at the right time and at the right place," said Kathy Davis, senior vice president and chief nursing officer for Presbyterian Healthcare Services.
Not only does emergency room care cost more – an average of $570 for non-emergencies versus $120 to $160 in an urgent care center – but it's often not the best care, Stern said. Emergency room care is "episodic and fragmented," meaning a patient with the same condition might be treated by several different doctors at different times. None of those doctors would be able to spot trends or underlying conditions that could lead to more serious medical problems, Stern added. The campaign will run through February 2012.

WOONSOCKET --- Joe Gardner is going back to the future.
No, he's not going to jump in a DeLorean with Doc Brown and head back to 1955, but the Woonsocket Boxing Club boxer is going to go back to 2002 and '03 and return to the weight class he fought in during those first two years of his career.
After absorbing stoppages in all three of his fights as a light heavyweight last year, Gardner will storm into 2012 as a super middleweight, where he posted a 4-0-1 record before taking a 7½-year sabbatical from the sport.
LINCOLN — There's no room for confusion or interpretation when you're that sure about something. Make no mistake: Nick Zammarelli's mind is already made up regarding where he wants to play college baseball.
A junior at Lincoln High, Zammarelli recently announced his intention to attend Division I Elon University, located in North Carolina. To issue a verbal that signifies the acceptance of an athletic scholarship package long before Zammarelli is even eligible to sign a national letter of intent speaks volumes of just how comfortable the player is with the school and vice versa.
BELLINGHAM — Saint Blaise Church's history as a parish is a relatively short, but rich one, marked by a commitment to faith and a sense of community that makes church.
This coming April, Saint Blaise Church will celebrate its past 50 years as it frames its vision for the future.

Motorcyclist killed in Palm Coast crash
Updated On: Mar 13 2013 03:50:51 PM EDT
A 53-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a car in Palm Coast on Wednesday morning.
The crash happened on U.S. Highway 1 at Matanzas Woods Parkway about 8:30 a.m.
State troopers said Gary Pearson, of Jacksonville, was riding north on U.S. 1 approaching the intersection and a car driving by 20-year-old Michael Diedel was stopped facing west on Matanzas Woods Parkway at a stop sign.
Troopers said that for reasons unknown, Diedel drove into the path of Pearson, who laid his motorcycle down on its left side to try to avoid the car but failed.
Pearson died a short time later.
No one in the car was hurt.
Troopers said charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.
All lanes were blocked for about two hours before reopening.
