The Manon Family has finally overcome the tragedy of their ancestry and is actually proud that the world knows them thanks to the 19th century composer, Jules Massenet who wrote the famous opera about their great, great aunt Manon who met a tragic end. But it was so long ago, they no longer feel embarrassed, but proud that they are now known by the world and are in demand. Further – it is fortunate that they are a big family because as soon as one Manon reaches full growth – he is snatched up and copies cannot be made fast enough. The Original Manon Desk and Sideboard were bought by a retired chairman of the board and placed in a posh penthouse office with Dirk Armless Low Back Office Chair – a perfect match since Dirk's name means a type of dagger. So Dirk sits calmly next to the Manon brothers protecting them from being snatched away and copied by strangers with no rights to the Manon Family Legacy.
Astrid & Dax
Astrid is very social; she loves entertaining and insists on living only in the dining room where she can be the center of attention. She chooses colorful dishes, centerpieces and placemats – the perfect accent for her smooth satin finish. But there was a problem, Astrid couldn't keep any of the chairs selected to sit around her. After a few weeks they would sneak out of the room whenever Astrid would take a nap. Then one day, Dax appeared wearing a soft fabric suit over foam. Astrid could feel her heart begin to beat strongly and knew immediately what it was about Dax that made her so excited! It was his color that exuded his passion, his strong masculine energy.Dax awakened Astrid's life force and she knew they would be together forever and ever.
Cabrio and Sy
When Cabrio was born – his entire family was upset because no one could see his legs – how was he ever going to be a success in the family table business – who ever heard of a table who couldn't stand up. There was lots of discussion and ideas tossed around of what to do with this family freak – put him out for adoption? Abandon him in front of a used furniture store?
One day, when he was almost a year old, the family was sitting around discussing the situation as usual when Cabrio appeared at the door fully upright!
OMG they all said – he can stand, and he is beautiful! "Of course," he said, "I am the new breed of table with transparent legs – haven't you heard, this is the coming thing! Hearing him say that Sy chair, known for his sincerity, said "you're gorgeous – can my sisters and I sit around you? Natrually, Cabrio replied, I am honored – of all the chairs in the world – I would choose you to be next to me forever; and they are.
Montana Table and Chairs
When we hear Montana we think untamed, wild, natural – in Spanish the word means mountain, so you can imagine how hard it was for the Montana Table and Chair parents to teach their kids how to behave properly; to have good posture and be strong when people want to sit; and to stay still and easy to clean when people want to eat. Now that the kids are grown and are popular best sellers, the senior Montanas feel proud and happy they did such a good job.
Manon and Yoland
Yoland, short for Yolanda, was slender, with slim, rounded pale wooden legs, a beautiful curved shape with soft, comfortable upholstery. Many years ago her ancestors in Greece had been rulers; she knew her great, great grandmother had been an Empress. Maybe because of her background, she had very elegant taste, and loved Italian Opera. The problem was that all the other girls she met, liked pop music and had unrefined taste in finishes, fabrics and woods. Then one warm summer morning, Yoland awoke looking at slim gently rounded pale wooden legs very much like her own; under a matt finish white table top.
"You're so elegant," Yoland exclaimed, "what is your name?" "Manon Oval Dining Table," she replied, and this is my brother Manon Sideboard."
"OMG!" exclaimed Yoland, Manon is my absolutely, hands-down favorite opera. Will you be my friends, I think we were made for each other. And so, like a happy fairytale, they lived together happily forever after.
Ville and Oliver
Ville was French and when he was born, his parents named him Ville, meaning "city", but he knew that in the Middle Ages the name meant "farm". What a dilemma, was he a city boy or a country boy? One day, sitting quietly, pondering his identity he noticed a small table sitting next to him. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Oliver," the small table replied, "what's yours?" Ville started to cry. I don't know who I am, my name is Ville which means city, but long ago it meant farm. So, who am I, a city boy or a country boy. Oliver broke into a big smile "Oh, that's easy, I can tell we're going to be really good friends. My name means olive tree, so of course you're a country boy. Ville broke into a big smile, "You know what Oliver, you've solved my identity crisis, will you move closer to me, I finally have a real friend!"
Elodie and Hasina
Elodie loved her name, derived from a saint, but was unhappy because she was so tall. Tall was not considered a positive attribute for a girl. Hasina, Elodie's room mate, also loved her name as it meant beautiful. But like Elodie, she was not happy about being so tall. Then one day two tall people walked into the store where they both lived. "Darling," said the pretty woman, "look at"…she hesitated, as she looked at the tag…"Elodie, finally something that is tall enough for me!" "Look over here," said the handsome man she was with, "Hasina, tall enough for me! Let's take them both," they said as they walked to the cash register. Needless to say, both Elodie and Hasina lived happily ever after.
Four Jaleh Sisters and their friend Collette
The unusual quadruplet babies born to an Iranian couple were all given the same name; Jaleh. They looked so much alike no one could tell them apart until their Mother noticed that each one liked a different color; so they became Jaleh Red, Jaleh Black, Jaleh Gray and Jaleh White. As they grew up they lived up to the meaning of their name, friendship, affection and love.
One day the Jaleh sisters met a girl who also knew the meaning of her name; Collette, focusing on business and achievement, neglecting her private life and relationships, even though successful she was not happy and felt lonely. Just what Collette needed. They became instant friends and now, always sit side by side.
Las Vegas Promotion, Building B, B-601
Wesley and Deanna – a story about names
Wesley loved his name and always became annoyed when people put a "t" into it and called him "Westley". When he was old enough for marriage he saw the movie "The Princess Bride" where the character with his name was the lover of Buttercup, so he began looking for a wife with the name Buttercup.
One day, Wesley, wandering the earth looking for Buttercup, stopped exhausted and fell asleep. When he awoke he was staring at a beautiful girl sitting very close to him.
"And who are you," he asked. "My name is Deanna and I love sitting next to you. You're the right height, no legs for me to trip over….some might say a perfect fit!
Wesley was speechless for a few seconds then said – "So what's your name?"
"My name's Deanna," she replied…My dad's name was Dean and my Mom's name was Anna so voilà Deanna!"
That did it – Wesley's heart was captured and they have been together ever since.

One of the key things BlackBerry customers love and want to see more of on the BlackBerry 10 platform is apps and games and with BlackBerry Jam Asia now underway, there has been some new announcements in that area. On top of the already announced Sina Weibo app, several other new entrants from all app categories are coming to BlackBerry World and will be readily available to demo during BlackBerry Jam Asia. New apps now available and committed to coming soon include:
That's a pretty healthy list of apps and games and while some are already available in BlackBerry World to download, I'm pretty excited to hear that there is even more coming. See anything on the list you're excited for? Sound off in the comments and let us know. Personally, I can't wait for Despicable Me: Minion Rush.

Unlike the native Evernote, Android ports could be just a great option, if only the Android support on the BB10 devices was a bit better. I posted an Android port of mine recently, and that app is the reason I can use my Z10 at all.

Lol with all the BlackBerry news of the past few weeks, don't hold your breath mate. They are not going to rush to bring any of their apps to a company no longer in the consumer market.
Thorsten Out!!!
eddy_berry Sep 26, 2013 at 11:53 am
They weren't going to bring those apps to a company that was in the consumer market in the first place. What's the difference? Instagram and Netflix were the two major apps people wouldn't shut up about. It may have been one of the biggest deciding factors on people picking up a new BB phone this year. I'm sure that there were a few other apps as well but those two could have killed BB just as easily even if the marketing was strong.
avatsaev Sep 26, 2013 at 1:58 am
lol you can scratch these, if your main purpose for a smartphone is instagram, I'll recommend you looking into some androids like Nexus 4 or Apple products like iPhone 5.
But knowing the fact that your technical knowledge limits to instagram and Facebook I would recommend an iPhone.
rereuk Sep 26, 2013 at 3:04 am
See, that's not nice is it? I use Instagram to post pictures for my family to see as they live in another country. I do not like the whole sideloading business and love my blackberry too much to go back to my iphone. So yes, I would really like Instagram on my blackberry and so would many, many people. Maybe people would even buy a blackberry if Instagram was there and blackberry needs costumers! So yes, Instagram is very important these days.
Posted via CB10
gregorylkelly Sep 26, 2013 at 8:12 am
I agree with you, but if it really is that important to you, and you already own a BlackBerry 10 device, you should just sideload it. There is no harm in doing so, so you should just do it!

You might be right but many people use Instagram and I doubt they will abandon their iPhone or Android if BlackBerry does not have the app, I personally don't even have an instagram account but this is just me, BlackBerry needs to have apps like that to bring average people to their platform, same with the bank apps, and side loading isn't an option because why sideload if I can just get an android? That's how the majority of people think, BlackBerry already put out an amazing OS but it's lacking the apps, of course I don't blame it on the company but that's the truth, some of us may not care about retarded apps but we are not the majority

Completely agree. I am sure that a lot of BlackBerry problems are rooted in American protectionism. Being out of the market avoids huge marketing and sales cost, and much of the constant negative publicity.
I am equally sure that if they were a US corporation, they would not be in the present situation.
bbfanboi Sep 26, 2013 at 10:00 am
Seriously folks, there are BlackBerry fans everywhere. No need to $h!t on Americans even if their carriers are hurting BlackBerry. Even the media is pushing Apple and Android. I would take the approach that Apple did -- screw the carriers. Push updates and features direct to devices, after all developers would prefer all users be on the latest releases. Start taking control over the platform. Partnerships with carriers aren't working, even T-Mobile will no longer be selling BlackBerrys in store. Sell through retailers like Costco and Walmart. Sell direct to users -- all phones unlocked and delivered next day! What you want, when you want it.

Is talking about it, and requesting about it going to get the apps to the people or should the people do what yo u think should be done aka suck it up and stop talking about them missing apps.
Heck, I don't use instagram, snapchat or netflix on my mobile, but there are millions of people that do use them. I try to help their cause by talking about it rather than not saying anything and keeping myself mum. I like BB10 and I want it to grow, and it will grow if people create enough noise about it to the developers.

They've been working on an RBC Royal Bank app for some time now. I imagine we'll be seeing it pretty soon. I noticed that they had a critical problem a few weeks back with one of their other mobile apps, so that probably took urgent resources to deal with.
Anonymous2039 Sep 26, 2013 at 1:57 am
Ya beat me.
Yep. Their iOS application was buggy on iOS7. It would crash whenever a transaction was made, leaving no indication as to whether it actually went through (they did).

Royal Bank of Canada has confirmed that they will be releasing an application for BB10 before the end of the September. That means any day now. Supposedly it will contain features like mobile NFC payment and such, but I don't know if those are just rumours.

I would guess because other developers don't think BB10 is worth their time or they are still thinking about it. Could be either of the 2.
My understanding from reading the forums is that BlackBerry users are pariahs, shunned by all decent people. So, what use would they have for social apps?

I am particularly disappointed that Google Maps isn't on BB10 yet. BlackBerry Maps doesn't cover a lot of countries and I happen to come from one of those countries. Cross platform apps like instagram are still sorely missed (even aviary isn't on BB10 and that's meant to be open source). Most of thes apps aren't that useful at all for majority of the BB10 userbase.
I would really like a native Google Maps app

from a very practical point of view, you can use Google Maps in the browser.
And if you use a Q10/Q5, you even have full screen.
About aviary, it is not open source since at least sept 2012.

Not going to celebrate too soon with all of these announcements.

It's just a simple creative outlet for most people. For example, my friends have been vacationing in Europe and I can follow along on their trip as they post pics and even little grid of pics and applying filters to sort of match the atmosphere. Compare that to Facebook or Flickr, I would be waiting for them to return from their trip, upload an entire album of photos.
Instagram is more about capturing a moment and sharing right away. Hope that helps to explain the buzz around Instagram.

Also want:
- Skype update to real version, no longer preview
- Mobile Voip
- Discovery world wide available (Is mentioned but before it was US only)
- Evernote (mentioned)
- Candy Crush & Instagram to pull more people to bb10, satisfy current users.
- Battlefield 4 app (to play commander mode)!
- Update to the Camera
- BMM + Channels updates!
- All national banking apps from the Netherlands

It's coming guys...Just like they told me back in 2010 when I had my Storm 2. It's amazing how Instagram is going on year #2 and they can't build it for BlackBerry. No Candy Crush either. No Google Maps. My goodness. It feels so good to have a phone that doesn't crash, nor take 3 minutes to reboot itself. BlackBerry did the job when I had it, but once the iPhone arrived on Verizon, there is simply no way I was staying with BB.

Sadly any article like this is always going to generate a lot of comments from people lamenting the lack of instagram, netflix and all these other free apps related to particular services because while people may not some of them, enough people expect them to be there as a might of course.
Realistically, beyond anything else, this is the biggest failing of BB and their marketing ineptness, that they didn't simply compile a list of 'must-haves' and bribe those developers to produce and support with updates a bb10 version of their app right from the outset is practically criminally negligent since it would have been a far better way to spend their marketing budget.

While QB Matt Cassel is certainly at fault for much of the Chiefs' early-season passing woes, all the blame doesn't belong on his shoulders.
Crennel has Chiefs' 'D' excelling
While an offense that was expected to be significantly better has lagged behind, Kansas City's defense, led by coordinator Romeo Crennel, has outperformed all preseason projections.
Charles falls behind Jones in K.C. backfield
After Jamaal Charles tore up the league during the stretch run of '09, most owners expected him to be a fantasy force for the entirety of 2010. But thus far, he has taken a backseat to Thomas Jones in the ...

Dorsey, 'D' key to Chiefs' resurgence
After sputtering to a 4-12 record last season, the Chiefs looked like a different team in Week One, upending the favored Chargers in raucous Arrowhead Stadium.
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran Akeem Jordan to provide depth and push for playing time alongside middle linebacker Derrick Johnson. The team announced the move in a statement Monday.||||||| Jordan has appeared in 82 games with 34 starts in six seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles, where current Chiefs coach Andy Reid had been in charge until he was fired this offseason. Jordan has made 184 tackles, two interceptions and forced two turnovers in his career.
Jordan will return to the Philadelphia Eagles next season after signing a one-year tender offer. Jordan started 10 games for the Eagles last season, recording 82 tackles and two interceptions. He took a role on the starting defense midway through the 2008 season and held it until being sidelined for four weeks with a knee injury last season.||||||| Jordan is likely to resume his role as the Eagles' starting weakside linebacker following the release of Will Witherspoon.The 6-foot-1, 230-pound Jordan joined the Eagles as a rookie free agent out of James Madison in 2007.
Jordan was moved up to the Eagles' roster from the practice squad, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.||||||| It is unknown whether Jordan will be activated for Sunday's game against Dallas, but he could replace linebacker Matt McCoy, who was cut on Monday.

I flew in to KL on the last flight out of Sibu and arrived exhausted, hoping to stay at the executive lounge for the night. Unfortunately, the LCC-T premium lounge experience charges a not-so-low-cost of RM 80 for 3 hours (!). Thus, I took the SkyBus down to KL Central and looked for a budget inn to stay.
There is one right opposite the station, called De Sentral Hotel. The front glass façade is grilled and padlocked from the inside to prevent untoward incidents. I've never thought of KL Central as a crime prone area but the person of Indian nationality clutching a can of Guinness Stout and drinking out of it from a straw (?) while occasionally throwing up foam into the gutter seem to intimidate quite a few passerby's. ;)
De Sentral Hotel isn't anything to write home about – the "hotel" is actually a converted shoplot, as can be seen by the maze-like interconnections between the rooms. It is relatively clean, with shared bathrooms and a room that has a sink and a single bed. It costs RM 60 nett per night and even comes with a small TV to boot.
Much to my dismay though, the rooms are freshly painted. The entire area insults the olfactory senses with the miasma of fresh paint, which never fails to give me migraines. It's a good thing I'm still down with the flu so my desensitized sinuses were a blessing in disguise.
There is a small window inside every room, which unfortunately has the side effect of causing the hallway light to shine right into your eyes – not exactly ideal sleeping conditions. Oh well. I was just there for the night before picking up the keys to the condo the next morning.
Anyway, I've moved into the new condo and am in the process of getting a TM Homeline and Streamyx. I don't have net access at home so I have been relegated to updating at either Starbucks or McDonald's. I have been busy moving house during the weekend, but I promise there will be daily updates from now on.

Welcome back to KL!
Do drop me a mail if you feel like indulging in some feng-tau activities ;)
I stayed there once. The karaoke next door kept me up the whole night.
Wow… the room is really small. For one person it's ok but two person inside the room will be like 2 person inside a toilet. lol
Best wishes in yr new life Huai Bin.
Hey HB,
It's been a while and welcome to KL! Which part of KL or PJ are you staying? Would love to meet up with you once you have settled down.
I'm staying in Kelana Jaya. Sure buddy, let's meet up when I get settled in. Cheers!
damn… looks like a great place for people who wanna do quickie. do you hear anything sensual during your sleep?
I been to this budget hotel before but decide not to stay in after viewing the room. A better option would be Florida Hotel, just behind this hotel which offer better room and security. Room rate at Hotel Florida might be a bit higher at RM68 but one will have own toilet and bathroom as well as spacious room compare to DeSentral
I and my girlfriends stayed at a budget lodge at bintang http://www.thegreenhut.com/
end up fw of us got bitten by bed bugs!!!
I am so scare of staying at budget lodges or hostels now :(
Was a nightmare for all of us!!!!
Lucky u r safe! ^_^
I often stay at budget motels, (about $30 -$60 over here). Why pay lots more money when you just need to sleep a few hours? When traveling by myself, all I need is six feet of safe space to lie down and sleep, a wake up call, a place to shower and some clean towels. Also, a cup of tea or coffee is always nice when leaving.
Good luck HB, in your new venture, and be safe.
welcome to KL…always enjoyed reading ur blog
it's looks like jail XD it's better than my working place's staffroom…
now I know where to look for a short stay in KL :)
HB, Wow you already started your so call adventure in KL. It sound like my mom when she was single came from Hawaii to San Francisco, she stayed in some place called roach motels too pretty bad or worst than your. Disneyland was fun.
Coming back was hard Santa Barbara fire cause traffic tie up about 500 homes lost. Does your new condo have all furnish?
Dude man, That some funky motel. Stay somewhere long time ago to travel dirt cheap. Motel was not bad area but got fleas and mices. Never again for sure.
HB, it looks scary to stay there , for a girl la. hahaha… but its so convenient tho… eh so confirm la u staying at Kelana Jaya? hahaha.. what a small small world. I know how to go yr condo next time. Blerk!
Be careful of bedbugs and ticks. I stay in one motel and boy, ticks. Have washed clothing due ticks got into them in washing machine across the street hot water and pick out ticks one by one. They were still alive after wash even.
Bits all over too.
Never again but no one could tell if any motels is clean and safe by looking.
Good grief! So small! For me, I would only be able to go straight in and reverse to get out! For RM60, you should be able to get reasonably good rooms in hotels in Sibu like Li Hua, Zurah or Eden Inn. Anyway, a little rough and tumble won't kill you! I've stayed in something a lot worse along Jalan Imbi (in one hens' nest!) or Bukit Bintang (where the old man asked if I wanted a girl for the night!). Hehehehehehe!!!
Good luck on this new chapter of your life.
Welcome to KL, HB!
Thanks all! I STILL don't have net access yet, but will be expecting Streamyx sometime this week (or early next week).
I have been busy with moving too – fridge and washing machine is supposed to come today but Best Denki ran out of packing foam so it will be delayed till Friday. Jesus…
Meanwhile I will be updating from Starbucks or McDonald's so please forgive the delay in replying comments. Cheers all!
hey, i saw you at sibu airport that night! wanted to greet you but it was not convenient. good to see you in person though.
welcome to kl :P

Guide Review - Alienware M17x 17-inch Desktop Replacement Laptop PC
Jul 5 2010 - Alienware's M17x laptop is a very large system that is designed more for performance than portability. Even though it has a 17-inch display, the system is very thick, closer in size and weight of laptops featuring 18.4-inch displays. Having said that, much of the size is there to properly handle the extra performance options available for the system including dual hard drives for RAID and multiple graphics processors for CrossFire graphics. The version reviewed however does not include these and is priced at a much more reasonable $1799.
The Alienware M17x has a very unique and different case that is worth mentioning. It uses an anodized aluminum that gives it a very sturdy and sleek look. Rather than soft edges, the design is very angular that gives it very distinctive look. The design is also very well suited to the high performance components ensuring that they get properly cooled when under heavy load.
As mentioned above, performance can be extremely strong if the system is tricked out with a variety of upgrades. The base system is much more subdued although it does perform quite well. The Core i5-520M processor only features two cores compared to many competing systems that use the quad Core i7-720QM. This doesn't impact its gaming performance much as most games aren't written to take advantage of more than two cores. Those needing the extra performance can always upgrade.
The big feature are the graphics. The 17-inch base display uses a fairly low 1440x900 resolution which some may not mind but it is lower than many similarly priced 17-inch laptops. The ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5870 graphics processor will have no troubles running the latest Direct X 11 games up to this resolution. It can even handle the higher resolution 1920x1200 upgraded panel but the CrossFire upgrade will allow full use of filters as well. There are some newer laptops that use the GeForce GTX 480M with higher performance but it requires even larger power and cooling.
The base storage features on the Alienware M17x are well below the average laptop system. The 250GB hard drive provides half of what competing laptops offer. It does spin at the higher 7200rpm rate which helps mitigate some of the performance issues. Larger harder drives are available as well as secondary drives in a RAID 0 array for performance or RAID 1 for data protection. Dell also offers solid state options. Optical storage is handled by a fairly typical dual layer DVD burner for recording and playback of CDs and DVDs. Blu-ray writers and combo drives are available as an option but it is fairly expensive.
The Alienware M17x's big issue though is price. With a base price of $1799, it is possible to find similarly equipped laptops for less or for the same price with additional features.

Fairview wins Olympic League junior high title
Fairview Junior High School won the Olympic League junior high football title with a 20-6 win over visiting Marcus Whitman on Wednesday.The Falcons' defense kept the Blazers in check most of the game, not allowing a score until the final minutes of the game.
It's the second Olympic League title for Fairview coach Joe Kearney, who is in his 13th season.
Logan Madison had a big day for the Falcons (7-0). He rushed for two touchdowns and had two interceptions.

Im just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to this and if so what is it?....
Everytime i squat with or without weight, there is a loud grissley tearing noise from the inside of my right knee. It does not cause me any pain as such but it sounds awful. I havent experienced any loss of strength but i cannot run long distance as it gets very painful. As I said it hasnt been sore during heavy weight training so im not losing sleep over it.
Any advice suggestions much appreciated.
creaky noises are normal. do you have any restricted motion of your knee (ie cant extend it past a certain point?)
I'm no doctor of course but my medial meniscus is torn and I can definitely feel the pain and it is unstable too. Also it's swelling a bit. All knee injuries are different of course but maybe you just don't have much cartilage in there and it's not actually a torn meniscus? As usual gettin it checked with a doctor is best.
Thanks nate and doc for replies.
I dont have any restriction of movement and it doesnt become painful unless i run. I have kept all cardio eccliptical and non impact so it hasnt caused me any bother. I have been told previously as well that its most likely that the cartilage has worn away. I might just get it checked out.
thanks again!
The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very
act. Go. - H. Rollins
A friend of mine had a serious meniscus tear while playing sports, and while he was able to continue playing (and further injure it!), there was a considerable amount of pain. With all the movement and strength you still seem to have, I bet it's just some loose or worn down cartilage.
Usually the meniscus problems come along with something in the ACL or MCL also.
Thanks for info. I really think it is a cartlidge issue (or lack of). Nothing much i can do about i suppose. As long as there is no pain im happy enough.
The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very
act. Go. - H. Rollins
Is the pain when running isolated just to that one knee? Is the pain always isolated to the knee's medial side? If so, it does sound a little suspicious for a meniscus problem.
I know you're half-crazy, but I wish you'd go all the way.
"Razorcut, as usual, is 100% correct." --- ectx
"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. --- Charles Darwin
I have had a tear of my medial meniscus.
You have a medial and lateral on each knee.
Medial on the insider and lateral on the outside.
A very common injury for sportsmen.
The only way to be sure is by an MRI scan.
I had mine removed, as it was nadgered lol. I am lifting fine at the moment , but will suffer in time with arthur ... ha ha
Train,train hard.Eat,eat lots and sleep even more.
Ive torn my meniscus in half and tore my mcl. what you are decribing is just ordinary knee noises. When you tear your meniscus, trust me youll know its f'd up.

Im gona have to start wearing wrist wraps just to wipe lol- Hatred
If you've torn anything in your knee it would be fairly painful and unstable to some degree. I tore my ACL and I was able to walk, but I knew immediately it was messed up. I hear Meniscus tears are worse. I have the same thing as you, no issues lifting, just some creaking. I would get it checked out, but if it isn't hampering you much, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
Anyone had meniscus repair surgery? It's been over a week but it still hurts where it did before the surgery. Wonderin if that's normal.

When Theresa and Bobby Brown bought the old house across from Muskogee Country Club, several people told them they should just bulldoze it.
Two years later, they are glad they didn't. The Browns like old, not new, so they set about gutting the 1907 house and making it their own version of an old house with new life. Their suggestion was to replace it with a new Tuscan-style home. They added to the back of the house, bringing it to 4,200 square feet of old and new that reflects their personalities and interests.

Lonley planet review
A Little House in Bakah,
"Classically designed, city fringe, boutique hotel."
REVIEW A friendly boutique hotel, with spacious rooms, an excellent cafe, high ceilings and a retro spin back to the 1920s, this is certainly one of the top picks in this price range. The main drawbacks are the slightly ambitious prices and the city fringe location.
Right on the road to Bethlehem, A Little House in Bakah, with its unique stone facade, is easy to spot. All rooms have carpeted floors, soft pillows, TV, desk and twin or queen beds. A highlight of the place is the Little Café in Bakah, located in the basement, which serves lasagne, quiche and seven types of sandwiches; try the 'Bulgarian', which comes with sun-dried tomatoes, basil and Bulgarian cheese. You can sit and relax here for hours, surfing the Internet, playing backgammon or kicking back with a book.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Your location in the German Colony is wonderful. Our family of four booked two rooms and my sons, who stayed in room 14, which has two windows, liked the night breezes blowing through the room. The people working at the reception desk were pleasant and helpful. We will certainly come again and also recommend your bed and breakfast to others. Maybe the breakfast area could be decorated in a more cheerful and intersting style, though. Cordially, Cathy Rozenman Tamari - guest from 13 August 2009 Little House in The Colony.

Nice Place
The room was very clean and comfortable although a bit small. The same goes for the bathroom. Breakfast was good. Overall we were pleased and the location was just what we wanted
I just got back from Israel, spending my first 4 nights at the Little House in Bakah and really loved my stay there.
Ok, so if you're looking for a 4-star hotel this is definitely not it. That said, let me tell you what I loved about the place.
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was updated and spotless. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a powerful AC unit which is important in Israel. There was even a nice flat panel TV in the room.
While they didn't have free internet, there were several cafes in walking distance that did. Speaking of which, Little House is in a residential area so there were some terrific cafes, restaurants and a wonderful bakery all within walking distance.
While you can find some of this stuff at other hotels in Jerusalem, what I really liked about the Little House is that it felt like home. This was my first trip to Israel and the Little House was my first destination.
The staff there went out of their way to provide me with helpful options for dining, shopping, finding my way around, etc. They were friendly, chatty and more than just courteous. They were genuinely concerned with my needs and did their best to see to them.
The best example of this was their help in finding me a hotel in Tel Aviv. I decided to leave Jerusalem a day early and needed a last-minute one-night hotel room in Tel Aviv. The woman at the desk spent 45 minutes on the phone and internet to find me a room. They had nothing to gain by doing this and, in fact, by her helping me, they were losing a paying customer one day early.
If you want something cozy, homey, and want to feel like you're living IN Jerusalem and not just stationed at some generic hotel, then I strongly urge you to stay at A Little House in Bakah.

I had the good fortune of staying at the Little House for 7 days over the Sukkot holiday. This place is pure user-friendly. From the rooms to the staff to the delicious breakfast (in the Sukkah!), everything was as comfortable and easy as can be. The staff went out of their way each day to accommodate a wide range of requests. I cannot wait until I can stay there again on my next trip to Israel.

Our room was well appointed with a good en suite that include a wonderful bath, a rarity in some places. Most importantly however was the friendly atmosphere that prevailed. All staff were always welcoming and accommodating making us feel as if we were staying in a "home".
Thanks to all for their efforts. We have already recommended "A Little House In Bakah" to quite a number of friends.
We will be back.
Kind regards,
Avron and Jean Cohen

Dear Oded
I am writing to thank you for your kindness and hospitality during my recent visit to Jerusalem. Having stayed at The Hotel Mount Zion and the Jerusalem Renaissance among others, The Little House surpassed them in terms of friendly service and attention to detail. The location of the hotel is ideal for bus travel and taxi. It also offers a great banking service across the road and shops just around the corner. The breakfast was just right. The fresh towels each day were welcome. And the bar area was a delightful place to sit in the evening. Many thanks again, I look forward to visiting you again in 2006.
With every good wish,
Father Jerome A.P Fagan

Janet and I, and our three kids, all had a fantastic experience visiting Israel recently, and I want to thank you for playing such a big part in making our visit so wonderful. The Little House in Bakah was our favorite hotel, especially for the kids, which is why we decided to make a second stop there at the end of our two week trip.
We found you via the internet, and the Little House met all of our criteria - a family suite, a fair price, a great location, and a personal touch. Little did we know how lucky we were to find you! The kids felt at home immediately. I met fellow travelers who were full of helpful information (including how to avoid jetlag and how to get a last minute Shabbat invitation for five!) and who were a pleasure to talk to. You went out of your way to help with the logistical details of our trip. Reserving a rental car for us, advising us on the best locations for folk dancing, letting us use your computer to resolve by email a problem we left behind, and getting us a shuttle to the airport were only a few examples.
We didn't fully appreciate until we stayed elsewhere the little things that you do right. Some examples: the best air conditioning system, extra towels, pillows and blankets readily available, a large refrigerator, a microwave and a Shabbat plate (blech), beverages available at all hours, great cable TV stations. And then there were the conveniences of being in Bakah: easy parking, taxis appearing within seconds, full laundry service for a ridiculously low price, Anglo shuls within blocks, a great public swimming pool only a few blocks away, fancy kosher restaurants, felafel stands, and a McDonalds all within easy walking distance.
We are recommending your place to all of our friends - as a place to experience a side of Israel you just can't get at a five star luxury hotel.
Thanks again Steve Schwartz
We, and several other family members, had the pleasure of being your guests in June. All of the staff members were very pleasant and friendly. We especially appreciate Yonatan. When Tom lost his passport, Yonatan helped locate it, and refused a tip offered in appreciation. It is rare to find such helpful, caring staff and we appreciate it.
Best regards,
Tom & Gloria Golbert
Dear Oded and staff:
Greetings and love from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My body is here at home but my heart is still in Jerusalem!
Oded, the month our Canadian team stayed at The Little House in Bakah was so special. Having a pleasant place to return to each night made all the difference. Your wonderful staff treated us so well and your friendship was an added blessing. I loved the night we joined you at the Golden Hill Seniors' Home and will long remember the vibrancy of your dance troop.
May you be well and may God bless and guide you through these difficult days. You are in our prayers. Please give my regards to the precious ladies who took such good care of us, the front desk staff and that dear Ethiopian security guard. You all have a special place in my heart.
God bless you all.

Shalom to you all,
I would like to thank you, not only for helping us have a wonderful and enjoyable stay in Jerusalem last week (which we did), but particularly for your emergency assistance on Monday night. Your help in getting my daughter's bag into the taxi to meet us at the airport was INVALUABLE! Thank you for making a difficult situation easy for us!
Again, we enjoyed our stay a great deal, and will continue to recommend the Little House to people we know coming to Jerusalem, (we hope there will be many more).
L'hitraot, aviva silverman :)
Dear Little House:
Your records will show that we stayed with you for a few nights starting on 9/26/02. The reason for this e-mail is to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay plus your hospitality and generosity.
We'll be sure to stay at your place again.

The Big Ten leads all conferences with four of the top 13 teams in the Associated Press (AP), USA Today coaches and Harris polls, as Michigan State has cracked the top 10 in the AP and coaches polls for the first time since the 2003 campaign. The Spartans improved to 7-0 for the first time since opening with nine straight triumphs in 1966 and have now climbed to eighth in all three polls. The last time MSU appeared among the top 10 in both the media and coaches rankings was on Oct. 26, 2003, when the school was ranked ninth by the AP and tenth by the coaches. Three other conference programs rated among the top 13 in the country, including No. 10/11/11 Wisconsin (AP/USA Today/Harris), No. 11/10/10 Ohio State and No. 13/12/12 Iowa. In addition, Michigan and Northwestern are receiving votes in all three polls while Purdue received one vote in the Harris poll.

Authentic Mexican across fro Exton Mall
Was out in Exton car shopping last weekend, and almost went for Capriotti's turkey when we noticed this joint right next door. We thought we'd take a chance, and it was a good bet. Buho's Authentic Mexican is very much the Puebla-style home cooking you expect in Norristown, South Philly or Kennett Square. Very inexpensive, fresh, great portions and friendly service. Carnitas were about the best I've had. Moist but not greasy. Huarache was on a tortilla that was crisp, yet still tender. Don't get up that way much, but it is definitely a return if I do.
We were in the area yesterday and stopped by for lunch - all I can say is YUM. DH had a chicken/bean burrito and a chicken taco, DS had a chicken taco and black beans, and I had tamales with refried beans and rice. We also shared nachos as an appetizer - that plate was almost licked clean, I'm not saying by who... but the salsa was delicious! The black beans were creamy and a little garlicky. The pork filling in the tamales was moist and spicy, but the masa-to-filling ratio was a bit off (too much masa, not quite enough meat). Lunch for three was about $35. We agreed that we would definitely go back.
Interesting, I just noticed this place on Monday when I had an appointment across the street. I am pleased to know that it is good--maybe I'll give it a try sometime! I confess to having been a little trepidatious at seeing the words "authentic Mexican" in that location. I live near Kennett Square and Elsmere, DE, where the surroundings just seem a little more authentic Mexican, if you know what I mean.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Valdosta State quarterback Cayden Cochran said there is nowhere he or his teammates can turn inside the football team facility without being reminded of the Blazers' six straight losses to rival Delta State.
"Coach (David) Dean brings it up a lot," Cochran said. "It is plastered all over the locker room, on every locker, on the doors and everything like that. We know. We are aware."
Coach Dean said going to the measure of reminding his players isn't necessary, but he wants his team to remember the losses and what is at stake Saturday when the teams meet at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium for the 2012 VSU homecoming game.
"I don't think we have to remind them that much, but we are going to remind them," Dean said. "They know. As soon as we walked into the locker room after the game at North Alabama you could hear some guys talk about Delta State a little bit."
For the Blazers, it has been six years of losing to a conference rival. For Dean, it is the only Gulf South Conference team he hasn't beaten in his six years as VSU's head coach.
"I've heard it for six years now," Dean said. "Hopefully we can get the monkey off our back. It will help. I want these seniors to leave out of here having the opportunity to say they beat Delta State and not leave like some of these other guys — like Larry Dean and Ronnye Nelson and those guys that never had the opportunity."
When preseason All-American cornerback Matt Pierce was asked about the losing streak, he said, "I am not going to lie, it does bother me, but at the same time, I am trying to approach it as the next Gulf South Conference game."
Valdosta State's losing streak to the Statesmen is the longest in the 29-year history between the two schools. Delta State owns an 18-12-1 record against the Blazers.
Of the six straight losses to the Statesmen, the Blazers' largest defeat was just eight points — a 31-23 loss to Delta State in 2009.
In fact, the average margin of defeat across the past six years has been just 4.8 points.
"It is just a lot of missed opportunities," Dean said.
Dean said two of the six losses stand out to him as the most painful — a four-point loss in 2007 and last year's three-point loss inside the final minute.
In '07, Dean's first-year as head coach, the Blazers blew a 31-7 halftime lead and allowed 28-unanswered points in the second half to lose 35-31. It cost the Blazers a perfect record in a national championship season.
Last year, the Blazers blew an 11-point second half lead (after trailing 13-0 in the first quarter) and lost in the final-minute when Delta State capped off an 18-play, 92-yard touchdown drive with 40 seconds remaining.
"We were up 11 (points) and driving again and we were ready to put that game away and then we make that mistake. Our running back slips and falls and we threw an interception for a touchdown. Those are probably the two toughest."
The interception thrown by Cochran changed the game by allowing the Statesmen the opportunity to remain close and score the game-winner with less than a minute remaining.
For players like Edmund Kugbila, last year's loss was the hardest of the past few years.
"Last year hurts the most and basically that fire still burns inside of us," Kugbila said.
In 2006, when Dean was an assistant under Chris Hatcher, the Blazers lost 35-28. The following year they blew the 28-point lead at halftime.
The Blazers lost 27-24 in double overtime in the 2008 meeting after going back-and-forth with the Statesmen the entire game.
"I still remember the double overtime loss here," Dean said. "We fumbled on the goal line going in and had a chance to win that ball game."
Other losses in the six-year stretch looked like this:
In 2010, Delta State missed two extra points and a field goal but still managed to beat the Blazers 27-23, the Statesmen's last visit to Valdosta. Trailing by four with less than a minute to play, Valdosta State attempted a quarterback sneak with then-redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Whitmire at the Statesmen's 14-yard line. Whitmire was stuffed and the Blazers turned over possession of the ball on downs. Delta State ran off the final 30 seconds and later played for the national championship game that season.
Then last year happened, and the Blazers' losing streak to Delta State became six games, the longest losing streak in the series history.
