A January 2002 trip to Panama City by jemery
Quote: I came to Panama to ride the world's first transcontinental railroad. I left with photos of Spain's first Pacific-coast colony, 16th-Century churches and 21st-Century skyscrapers, and a new appreciation for the engineering genious behind the Panama Canal. Here's a photo-journalist's report.
Spaniards first hacked a path through the Panamanian jungle in the 1500's -- seeking the gold and other riches rumored to lie on the Pacific side of the isthmus. By 1856, there was a railroad linking the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and, in 1914, the Panama Canal.
In about an hour and a half, in Panama City, you can walk past relics of all of those centuries. And, the 21st as well. This is a city where modern glass towers mingle with the ruins of merchants' mansions that Morgan's pirates torched in 16 71. Panama's now a Republic so open to its citizens that the Presidential Palace --- an ornate Spanish-styled mansion originally built in 1673 and reconsructed in 1923 --- can be walked by and photographed at close range by just about anyone.
Panama's 'Old City' is a 'must-visit', for sure, with marvelously preserved old churches and muncipal buildings. But there's also an 'even-older city' : Panama la Vieja. This was THE first city; only stone and masonry ruins now, but where Europeans established their first-ever settlement on the Pacific coast, possibly as early as 1519.
Visiting the Canal is also a MUST: We'll offer some options.
For a ride on the Panama Canal Railway, see "jemery's" journal on Colon.
Via Espana, billed by the tourism magazine in my hotel room as a 'glittering upscale shopping Mecca' was, in my opinion, anything but. I saw only a busy, pedestrian-unfriendly traffic artery; yes, there were some multi-storied shops offering name brand goods, but there were also car dealers, banks and finance companies, and other decidedly nonluxe businesses. The del Carmen Church, at the center of the hotel district where Ave. Central ends at Via Espana begins, was a pleasure to look at: Pure white except for some blue and red highlights, but virtually impossible to photograph due to ugly high-tension cables in the foreground.
There ARE hotels here which will likely cost you less than the Radisson I was staying in.
Hailed-off-the-street taxis in Panama City are cheap: from U.S. to depending on what zone you're travelling in. Hotel-provided 'taxis' are actually drivers under contract to the hotels (and often driving cars owned by the hotels); you'll pay considerably more for them but the hotel stands behind their reliability. These drivers normally contract to take you to your destination and then bring you back at an appointed time, waiting with you if necessary.
Except along the waterfront, Panama City is not especially pedestrian-friendly; drivers turning right behind your back can be a serious menace. Still, I was able to walk to many of the places I wanted to go, including the Old Community.
The Radisson Royal Panama is one of those world-wide franchise hotels that commands higher room prices than many of us customarily pay but, in doing so, offers the peace of mind that an established brand can bring you in countries with histories of political instabilility or where you're not sure of tourist amenities. You expect a quiet room, comfortable bed, hospitable bar, quality dinner, and security.
Early on, I learned that Panama City now has political stability, tourist-safe sidewalks, very hospitable people and all sorts of superb restaurants and hotels, some just as comfortable and secure but less expensive than the one I chose.
Still, I've no regrets about staying at this Radisson. It's in a central location: immediately adjacent to Panama City's World Trade Center and within a few blocks of most of the important banks. It's perhaps a ten-mintue walk from the waterfront. It's a modern --- some might call it 'ultramodern' --- mid-rise hotel with 112 rooms and 16 suites spread out in a gentle s-curve-shaped building perhaps half-a-hunrded meters tall. I had a very large double-bedded room, with an executive-sized desk with three phone jacks, a computer data port, and safe, For recreation, there was a midsized TV with computer-game controller and free movies.
An in-house health club, open to all guests, offered a fully-equipped gym --- which I didn't use --- and a Jacuzzi which I did use but found to be only lukewarm and relatively anemic in terms of water-power. The large outdoor swimming pool had no curfew: If I wanted to swim long after dark, and float on my back looking up at tropical stars, no one would hassle me.
The hotel was suffering from a very low ocupancy rate when I was there. One of the principal restaurants was closed, and the bar was also closed during much of my stay; drinks could be had only through Room Service. One could, however, have drinks served at poolside or in the poolside restaurant rather than drinking alone in the room.
There were some service glitches at that one still-open restaurant, but otherwise, employees at this Radisson were attentive and acutely customer-aware. They wanted to make me welcome. Service at the front desk was crisp and efficient, I'd rate bell staff well above average, and the petite Panamanian woman attending the health club was a gem. I was here on a frequent-flier coupon that entitled me to a rate of just $87 per night; the normal rate would have been $165. At my reduced rate, I felt I got FAR better service than I'd paid for. Even paying the full 'rack' rate, I would probably consider the Radisson Royal Panama a hotel to return to.
However, the Intercontinental, little more than a mile away, is a formidable competitor for both my dollar and my recommendation.

The Royal Grill, the Radisson Hotel's principal restaurant, is a pleasure to enter: a bright, cheerful half-moon shaped space, naturally lighted by an arc of floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the pool deck and Panama City skyline. It would have been stunning had it been on the top floor, but was still appealing just 25-30 feet above street level. Bright tablecloths and wooden chairs with gaily-upholstered seats added to the charm.
Food was ok --- usually good and occasionally very good --- but not gourmet. On the other hand, prices were extremely reasonable for dining in an upscale hotel. The most expensive main course was jumbo shrimp in Thai curry sauce for $19.50, Beef sirloin filets or medallions with herbs were $12.50. The absolute taste-and-value standout was Corvina con Aceitunas al' Arrabiata...thick, juicy filets of sea bass with olives and a spicy red tomato-based sauce, also at $12.50. Unless you're a hearty eater, skip the salad before this one!
Salads were a la carte. At $5.50, the ensalada Griega was as good as any I've had in Chicago's Greek restaurants. The Caesar was 'ok'. A salad combined with the huge smoked salmon appetizer plate ($9.50) was a pleasing alternative to a full dinner: I had it twice during my stay.
Most of the wines were unfamilar, but I did find two old Chilean favorites: Concha y Toro Cabernet and Chardonnay --- ubelievably priced at just $12 by the bottle --- and Casillero del Diablo Cabernet or Sauvignon Blanc at $17.
Now the bad news: The Royal Grill suffers from a maddening inconsistency in the quality of service and, occasionally, the food itself. One night, service would be prompt and professional --- even my cold smoked salmon arrived under cover on a silver tray --- and timed to perfection. On other nights, the lone headwaitress/hostess would be attending to other business while I tried to get someone's attention. Part of the problem was that the bar and restaurant were two floors apart: Would you believe that my cocktail orders were transmitted by cellphone? And apparently brought upstairs by Room Service?
The Royal Grill has LOTS of potential. On my last night, the hostess disappeared entirely, leaving me to order --- in very halting Spanish --- from a young assistant waiter who spoke no English. My dinner of tenderloin filets in olive oil with a pesto-like sauce was served impeccably: hot, cooked exactly to my medium-rare request, and accompanied by enough carrots, broccoli and toasted spinach leaves to make up for my not ordering salad. It was great!
How to fairly rate a place this inconsistent? My advice: Try Royal Grill once and form your own conclusion. Or, for a risk-free trial, come here for the breakfast buffet. Offering far more than the typical 'Continental Breakfast', it's a steal at $5.50.
For the sea bass and smoked salmon, and possibly the unusual beef tenderloin presentation, I highly recommend the Royal Grill. Otherwise, it's ...

'Elegant dining in an informal setting': That's the only way to describe my experience at the Bay View Restaurant. It's a large, airy room with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides; a bright, cheerful place with live music already playing at 5p.m. on the evening I visited. (But not LOUD music, fortunately.)
I was greeted, seated, and presented with a perfectly made Manhattan cocktail within three minutes of arrival. Amazingly, I was shown to an oceanfront window table --- one of the most desirable in the house --- despite that fact that it was a table for four and I was alone.
The most expensive main course on the menu was 'Jack Daniels New York Strip Steak' at $22. Other options included Seafood au gratin at $15, Eight-ounce grilled salmon in mango cream sauce at $16.50. 'Shrimps on Five Herbs' at $18.50 and 'Tempting 8-oz. Sea Bass on Butter-shrimp Sauce with a Bacon Stick' at $14. Somewhat less appealing --- at least to me --- was 'Pork Ribs on Prune Sauce' at $12.
The only worthwhile-looking poultry entry was a 10-oz. grilled chicken in wine sauce at $15.
My own dinner that night was 'Pistachio-crusted' beef medallions at $16. Two perfectly-cooked, almost fork-tender, four-ounce filets with a delightfully crunchy coating that was, in fact, ground-up pistachio nuts crisped under the grill.
Main courses come with a simple house salad and choice of potato or vegetable. For an extra $7, I chose the a la carte salad bar which included all the standard greens plus melon balls, assorted cold meats, and some delicious cold smoked salmon.
Appetizers --- 'entrees' on Spanish menus --- included the usual ceviche and shrimps plus some uniquely Panamanian twists: Try 'Panamanian Chicken Soup with Yam, Coriander and Yucca with Rice'.
There was an ample wine list, including several quality reds and whites by the glass as well as the bottle.
Bay View Restaurant isn't even the Hotel Intercontinental's premier fine-dining venue, but it draws raves from this reviewer --- who doesn't need formality but appreciates fine food, drink and service. I also appreciated being able to order dinner as early as 5p.m. --- a very early hour for Latin American restaurants.
Bay View offers special theme dinners from 6:30 to 11:00 every Tuesday and Thursday and is open for buffet lunch Monday-Saturday.
Hotel Intercontinental Miramar is on Balboa Ave., the main oceanfront traffic artery, about halfway between city center and the causeway toward the airport. It adjoins the wharf leading to Miramar Marina.

Bay View Restaurant Hotel Intercontinental Miramar Panama City, Panama
Attraction | "A Walk Along the Seawall"
In hour and a half long stroll along Panama City's waterfront, I walked from the 21st Century to the 17th. Avenida Balboa, which follows the seawall in a sweeping arc around Panama Bay, gives one a marvelous overview of both the old and new cities.
I started in the Marbella District, a residential neighborhood of sleek high-rises mingling with the pastel-painted, tile-roofed villas typical of the Spanish Caribbean. When you reach the waterfront, the entire downtown skyline will spread out before you. At the far end of the bay, you'll see a peninsula with low, red-roofed buildings punctuated by church steeples. This is Casco Viejo, the Old City (or 'Old Colony'); your ultimate destination. It's about a three-mile walk.
The futuristic, blue-white tower with vast expanses of glass is the Miramar Hotel Intercontinental; worthy of visiting. Its pool deck is big enough to be a city park and its oceanfront restaurant served me the best dinner of my trip. Directly offshore is the Miramar Marina, where the really wealthy park their yachts.
Further along, there's a pleasant little Spanish-style park, Parque Anayanis, with plenty of benches, shade trees and people to watch and photograph. Linger here awhile; it will be your last patch of shade until you reach the Seafood Market.
This market, el Mercado de Mariscos, marks the end of your oceanfront excursion. It scarcely resembled a 'market' the mid-day I was there ... more of a place for fishermen to store their equipment and work on their boats. You could always find a sea bird or two to serve as props in your photos.
Beyond the seafood market and before the Old City is Santa Ana. A chaotic place of narrow streets and the corrugated-tin structures so common to poor Latin American barrios. It also contains what passes for Panama City's Chinatown and many multi-balconied row apartments, some quaint and attractive, some not.
This is an easy place to get lost in. If you do, walk toward the first open water you see. This will put you on the seawall, where you can get your bearings. (My wanderings took me directly to the Presidential Palace, easy to find on any map.) If you happen on an old streetcar track, follow it. Going north with take you back downtown. Going south will take you into the heart of the old city and eventually to the museums and municipal theater on the waterfront.
This is a long, hot walk but otherwise easy; a few moderately challenging hills and paved sidewalks all the way. It's by far the best way to acquaint yourself with the multiple personalities of Panama City.
Walking Along the Seawall Balboa Avenue Panama City, Panama
Attraction | "The Old City ('Old Commuity')"
Much of It dates from 1673, two years after pirates destroyed the original Panama.
(Don't confuse Casco Viejoanama Viejo: One is still a vibrant community; the other nothing but stone-and-masonry ruins in a partially-restored historical park.) Travel writers generally consider the Old City to be a 'must-see'. I'm certainly glad I spent a few hours there. Approaching from coastal highway and seafood market, the Presidential Palace complex is the first of the area's major attractions that you'll encounter --- and also one of the most appealing. It's a sparkling white mansion in the Moorish style, easy to approach but, due to its proximity to the seawall, difficult to photograph. I found it heavily guarded, with an armed policeman on every nearby corner, but each one politely waved me by. I found a small, quiet park overlooking the bay, less than a hundred yards from the President's front door; guards appeared willing to let me linger there as long as I cared to. The Palace was originally built in 1673 and reconstructed in 1923. If you're carrying a camera, I'd suggest showing it to each guard and asking, se permite?. It IS permitted, but they appeared pleased that I'd asked first.
The majestic Catedral Metropolitano, consecrated in 1798, faces an equally-inviting plaza where Panama's Declaration of Idependence was signed. Three of the bells from the Cathedral's tower still survive. Nearby is the 1671-built San Jose Church, said to be reknowned for its golden altar. The old a Merced Church along the Avenida Central was just discharging Sunday worshippers as I walked by. Out of deference to them --- and to my 100-speed film --- I refrained from going inside. I did, however, notice one disarmingly modern note: the nave was outlined in neon lights! Museums and the attractive, though relatively plain, Municipal Theater are at the far end of the central avenue. Don't miss the Paseo de Esteban, a block-long pedestrian promenade shielded from the sun by flower-bedecked arches. It's a great place to relax before starting the walk back. The easiest way to enjoy the Old City is by doing as I do: 'Sightseeing by wandering around'. When you see an especially appealing side street, just turn down it. I'll have to admit some disappointment over the diffence between some of the breathless descriptions found in a few of the tourist guides with what I perceived to be reality: For every centuries-old architectural gem, there were two or three blocks of old balconied-but-battered New Orleans-like apartment buildings reminiscent of the seedier streets beyond the French Quarter. That said, it would have a shame to have been in Panama City without lingering here for a few hours.
Panama Viejo and Historic District Foot Of Avenida Central Panama City, Panama
Attraction | "The VERY Old City"
First settled in 1519, Old Panama was the first Spanish community on the New World's Pacific Coast. After British pirate Henry Morgan sacked and burned the city in 1671, Spain rebuilt it on a new, more easily defended site six miles away, in what is now called 'Colonial Panama' or Casco Viejo.
Though the original Panama was a relatively large community, it was mostly built of wood --- all that remains at the Panama Viejo historic monument are ruins of the few stone or masonry buildings: the Cathedral, the 'Town Hall', a 1640's-era mansion that once served as the Bishop's residence, a convent, and two houses built by one of the era's wealthiest families. All are spread throughout a large park, as noteworthy for magnificent trees as for history: In good sunlight, the juxtaposition of stark stone ruins against rich green foliage can make for dramatic photograpy.
Don't miss the small museum near the park entrance; it contains a large scale model of Old Panama as it was thought to have appeared in the pre-Morgan 1600's. A 6-7 minute taped narration, available in English, guides you through the community's history and sudden demise. There are also many archaeological artifacts, including human remains. Admission is free with your park ticket, which costs U.S. $2.
If you're looking for a gift for someone back home, also spend some time touring the native craft market adjoining the museum and park; you'll find some necklaces, bracelets and hand-made textiles that are far superior to the usual tourist junk.
Panama la Vieja has been a National Historical Site since 1976 and is currently operated by a non-profit organization advised by the Kiwanis Club, National Institute of Culture, the tourism bureau and a local bank. It's a $2 taxi ride from the Cesar Park Hotel and Casino, $3 from the more centrally-located Radisson.
A Safety Issue
Before it became a National site, a large squatters' settlement developed along its north side. Although Panama City is generally considered safe for tourists, this area is NOT. In fact, it added a very useful new word to my Spanish vocabulary: malientes.
As I sat resting after a walk to the park's far edges, a policeman appeared at my side and pointed to my camera. 'No foto', he said, pointing to the sqautters' hovels. I wondered why --- would the city be embarrassed? Then I noticed that four husky young men had gathered in an area I'd just left. 'Malientes,' said the cop. 'Malientes.' When he slowed his Spanish down enough for me to understand some words, I realized why no photos: If the bad guys saw my camera, it would become theirs. They were Malientes.
What's even better than riding a ship through the Panama Canal?
Coming back to Panama and seeing the operation as the lock-keeper sees it.
You can do this either at the Panama City end --- on the Pacific coast where most of the good hotels are --- or at Colon, on the Atlantic (Caribbean) end.
Miraflores Locks are about a 25-minute taxi ride from downtown Panama City; the larger and busier Gatun Locks are a similar distance from Colon. Both have visitors' 'grandstands' directly across from the lock-keeper's control tower and right above all the action.
There's something fascinating about watching a football-field-length ocean liner being lifted 85 feet up --- in two separate stages at the Pacific end but in one fell swoop from the Atlantic. In my opinion, no tourist visiting Panama should leave without visiting one or the other.
We went first to Miraflores, but were disappointed: No ships passed during the hour that we were there and none were scheduled for another several hours. My driver/guide had access to shipping schedules, and had warned me about this; he wanted me to pay another $30 or so for a city tour so we'd reach the locks closer to the arrival time of the first ship. Lesson: Tourists, too, can call in advance for schedules. Get the phone number from your hotel concierge.
A day later, at Gatun, we hit the jackpot: six ships in less than two hours.
Drivers recommended by the hotels usually work for the hotels -- not the taxi companies --- and prefer to be hired for several hours rather than just taking people point-to-point. Jorge --- the hotel guy --- asked $30 to take me to Miraflores Locks, wait for me, then bring me back. I'd have gotten there for far less by flagging a taxi off the street, but getting back might have been a different story. Jorge was there when I was ready to go home; there were no taxis anywhere near. My $30 also bought me a short tour of Panama City via a different route than we'd taken outbound.
It's now possible to take a day-trip THROUGH the canal. At least one company, Argo Tours, was offering partial transits for U.S. $90 and ocean-to-ocean transits for $135. In January, 2002, these trips operated Saturdays only, departing at 7:30 a.m. from the Port of Balboa.
The tourist facility at Miraflores has bathrooms, shade, and safe drinking water. It's a great place to spend a few hours while you're in Panama. But for an even better spot for viewing canal action, see my soon-to-be posted journal on Colon, and the Gatun Locks.

I had a set stolen from me and needed to replace it quickly for work and home. This set is basic, but doesn't feel cheap. I am very pleased so far, have owned for 6 months. I like the case, decent ratchets too!

John Mayer is apologizing for using the N-Word in that explosively controversial Playboy interview in which he compared his penis to a white supremacist.
During the interview, Mayer stated that "black people" love him -- and then he brought up the topic of a "hood pass."
While explaining the meaning of a hood pass, Mayer said, "It's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n*gger pass."
But moments ago, Mayer issued an apology, via Twitter, saying "I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself."
Mayer added, "It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged."
Everyone gets mad BECAUSE HE'S WHITE it's alright for black or mexican to say what they want. Face it white people are held to a higher standard. Queen Latifa is racist and no one blasts her, lots of black people make fun of white people all the time. ITS A WORD GET OVER IT ALREADY. Everyone in this world has used some form of racial slur. Sorry but, that's the reality!
Im an African-American woman, and I wasn't at all offended by the 'entire interview'(which people should actually read)...that was between him and a staff member from 'playboy magazine'. There is a difference however in the degrading word "n*ggER" & "n*ggA" , from which MTV puts it as John Mayer saying "n*gga" rather than "n*gger".Regardless, when you take time to actually read it.Then think of it coming off as someone being a little bit comedic, then you can understand what he was trying to say. We all say things that come out totally different from the point we're trying to get across. He's no different. If Damon Wayans, or Chris Tucker said the same thing....but of course using their d*ck as being a 'Black Panther'...we would laugh it off. Now, John Mayer isnt a comedian...but everybody likes to joke about themselves using metaphors. Im mean his a writer for goodness sake. I think what he was trying to get across was that...using the word "Hood Pass" isnt much different, and is just as DEGRADING as saying "N*gga". We as indiviuals will always be attracted to what we grow up around. As some of us venture out into the world, and see different places and people we MAY become open-minded. But, we like what we like. Im naturally attracted to African-American men. But, Brad Pitt looks good. I have never dated outside my race. I haven't really opened myself up to it either. Doesn't mean I never will. Just not interested most of the time. So...media, and narrowminded people ...let it go. This is getting so ridiculously out of control. John Mayer...I understand what you were TRYING to say. I just think it came out wrong.
This is to CC, comment #271.
Part of what you are saying is true.However, to the African-American community the word was used and still is used to this day...right before a violent act. That word was used to put down, hold down & degrade African-Americans. Alot of times right before being killed by a white man. So, to those who still experience it, and have in the past....its not cool coming from someone who says it in discuss with murder in his eyes.
Now, some African-American individuals use the word toward each other as taking something negative, and replacing it with a positive. In other words, if this is the word that people use just for African-Americans. Then lets own it in a positive way. By saying to other African-Americans..."your my n*gga"..rather than..."You black n*gger". Depending on the maturity level & interpretation of an individual. The reason for using it maybe offensive regardless of who uses it. But, to others it maybe a way of taking what was so embedded in our upbringing as degrading amongst us, and using it to a level of ownership in a way that can be giving a sense of uniting a race in a better view of the word. So, to each his own..but except other races. Sorry, it is what it is...why would Whites want to use that word anyway?
Ok, here's my take on the john mayer fiasco...
First off, playboy was very aware of john mayer's white supremacist views... Ask yourself, why the hell would a magazine which caters to white men and features nothing but white women ask him, about his so called black female fans... It's hilarious because the truth is, MOST black women do not even think of white guys in a sexual way, just as MOST white men do not think of black women in a sexual way.
Let's be honest with ourselves, as a black woman I can honestly say that I'm not attracted to white men. Sure there may be a few nice looking white guys out there, but I'm not sitting back saying, ooh that white guy is a hottie, I want him! I could never see myself sleeping with one or having a child with one, so I certainly understand his comments.
His delivery however was very bigoted. Just because I'm not attracted to white men, doesn't mean that I have the right to disrespect them. If for instance, I was a celeb and the question was posed about whether I was into white guys, I would simply deflect the question by stating, I'm into attractive, intelligent guys period.
He could have done the same thing, but he's such a dumb loser LOL.
On another note, I'm surprised that so many people are not mentioning the other psycho babble from the interview. He apparently tries to denigrate the beautiful black actress, Kerry Washington, by stating that she's a white girl trapped in a black girls body, yada yada yada...
In his little mind, all blacks are dumb idiots. God forbid if a black person is able to form a coherent sentence or actually think. Blacks that do not fit the so called 'hood' definition are 'acting white.' He's so comical. I really hope that he catches a serious beat down for being such a dumb bigot.
It is sad that after celebrities make racial comments they want to say they are sorry. The mouth is a powerful weapon that most people use to belittle. Here is a quote "Mean what you say and say what you mean". When racial slurs are used they always hit their intended target. John is suppose to be sooooo intelligent why use gutter words.
Hey, just ask Kid Rock what a hood pass is, I'm sure he knows.Why would anyone need a pass?I go wherever the f**k I want!
I think white people just need to come up with their own slang,thats what blacks do to get away wif it! John, if you wanna write something, come up with some white slang!!!!!!
That's like calling one of my homies Hop Sing, we can call him that, but if you chime in, no...
You gotta be ethnic on the inside to know what time it is. Grew up in the darkness... I doubt he ever bought a dime bag or did his share of spot & steal. BTW, I don't own any of his work.
This is funny! John, I have to agree. You can use my "hood pass" for even knowing what it is?! ROFLOL! (Everyone else, oh relax! He is a lot of things from a kiss-and-tell-macho-chauvenist to everything in between, but he was most certainly not being racist here.)
I don't like him...sure can't sing to me. I guess he got pretty comfortable being around Dave Chapelle using the N word and all.
Hood pass..riiiiigght.....
I used to get outraged over people using racial terms but most of the same guys that get so upset when someone else uses them use derogatory terms about women such as b**ch, c**t, s**t, wh**e, etc., so unless they don't use any of these terms publically or privately regarding women they have no right to make an issue out of any other derogatory words. In fact, several of those words are all over TV, even comedies, which is not right. Women deserve the same respect of not having derogatory words used as people expect due to their race. If you're upset over racial terms, get upset over derogatory words against women, too.
He is really getting news for saying a word? Wow. I hear the work everyday. It is almost always from black people so I guess you could say there is some racism going on accusing him for saying a "bad" word. Just because the word used to have a racist meaning doesn't mean that it can never change. For the rest of time no person other than a black will be able to say ******. Do you see how dumb this is?

The Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) at MIT was founded in January 1990 to address fundamental questions about climate processes with a multidisciplinary approach. In July 2006 the CGCS became an independent Center in the School of Science. The Center's goal is to improve the ability to accurately predict changes in the global environment.
CGCS seeks to better understand the natural mechanisms in ocean, atmosphere and land systems that together control the Earth's climate, and to apply improved knowledge to problems of predicting climate changes. The Center utilizes theory, observations, and numerical models to investigate climate phenomena, the linkages among them, and their potential feedbacks in a changing climate.
The Center builds on existing programs of research and education in the Schools of Science and Engineering at MIT. The interdisciplinary organization fosters studies on topics as varied as, for example, oceanography, meteorology, hydrology, atmospheric chemistry, ecology, biogeochemical cycling, paleoclimatology, applied math, data assimilation, computer science, and satellite remote sensing.
CGCS sustains a program of basic scientific research on the natural processes controlling global climate, with a concentration on the cycles, circulations and interactions of water, air, energy, and nutrients in the Earth system.
Parallel CGCS activities incorporate the insight gained from research into climate prediction models, and climate policy analysis, and provide it in a useful way to decision-makers in domestic and international climate policy-making arenas. The CGCS also interacts closely with complimentary MIT activities in the Earth System Initiative, the Energy Initiative, and the Earth Resources Laboratory.

U.S. Farm Subsidies Face The Budget Axe — Seriously
TheColorado Farm Bureau seems similarly inclined. Spokesman Troy Bredenkamp told reporters, "To be honest, we get beat up over direct payments all the time. [They] have helped maintain an abundant and affordable food supply for the United States, but on the other end we're tired of getting a black eye for it. There's a better way to handle a safety net for agriculture than through direct payments."
Even American Farm Bureau lobbyist Mary Kay Thatcher acknowledged her group sees the handwriting on the wall in the 2012 Farm Bill.
"I don't think there's anybody who doesn't think we're going to look at direct payments," she said. "We need to look at what is really necessary in the safety net and what farmers and ranchers could live without."
Vilsack, a former Democratic governor of Iowa, has been barnstorming through the Farm Belt, "trying to identify the fundamental principles that will drive the Farm Bill discussion," he said.
His discussions have included "how to do more with less, and on whether to continue to provide farmers with a little bit of help every year, or more substantial assistance when it's needed most."
Hoag, who has served as an adviser on several Farm Bills, warned against characterizing the 2012 Farm Bill's provisions before it's signed.
"Never discount what happens at 11 hours and 59 minutes," he said. "People make deals at the last minute."

Non-market Valuation in Developing Countries: Estimating Benefits of Managing Invasive Plants Using Choice a Choice Experiment
There are limitations associated with the application of non-market valuation techniques, including choice experiments, in subsistence economies. In part, this is due to the concern that using money as a mode of contribution may not capture the potential contribution of low-income households. To address this limitation, respondents in this study were provided with the option of contributing towards the management of invasive plants in labour terms if they were unwilling to contribute in monetary terms. The results show that the existing practice of using dollar values to estimate willingness to contribute may disproportionately exclude the concerns of some groups within the community. The analysis also indicates that allowing respondents to express their willingness to contribution in labour increases their participation in environmental decision-making processes and hence, increases the estimated value of forest ecosystem services. This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on the development of non-market valuation surveys, including CEs, in low-income countries in general and rural areas in particular.Download Info

How about this. I have only one lousy ball to play. The gave advances ten balls to my one lousy ball. Put ten balls on the table and let me play ten balls to equal the ten lousy balls played against me. When you play your ball, notice now many balls advances to your one. This game should be in Vegas.

I am a web master/developer during the day and at night I try to be the best husband.
Inbetween the above I like to read and play games (PC, XBOX, board and card) and listen to a wide variety of music. Brewing beer is something else that keeps me from getting into trouble.

What activity to expect when fermenting a lager?
I have taken a reading and I am on 1.020 from 1.038, so there is activity. I think you are correct on the leak. I created a hole for my thermometer and it may be that I did not seal that properly. Thank you. |

More than likely one of the relays is going bad on the electronic control board. Sounds like you need to replace the electronic control board.

One of my pet projects the last few years is the creation of a genealogical database in which everyone included is somehow related to St. Louis (admittedly, some of the links are a stretch). In addition to my own personal research I've been entering data into a Family Tree Maker database that I've gleaned from a number of books about St. Louis residents. For each "primary" individual I typically gathered date and place of birth as well as marriage, his parents' names, his wife's name, and the names of their children. The vast majority of the source data comes from the following books:
What appears below is the index to this database. There are 57,195 individuals listed in 20,008 marriages. The number of unique surnames is 10,704. The actual database is much to large to place on this webspace. If you see someone of interest let me know and I will attempt to send a succinct summary of any individual.

"Syrian songstress, Gaida, is one of the most effusive and charming vocalists in the New York world music scene." - Timeout New York
Along with her outstanding ensemble: oudist Zafer Tawil, pianist George Dulin, bassist Jennifer Vincent, and percussionist Tony DeVivo, Gaida performs "entrancing" innovative interpretations of Syrian folk songs, originals, and freestyle improvisations over Arabic and Latin grooves.
For, Gaida, morning in Damascus meant melodies: waking to the sound of her father's radio while he shaved, the predawn intertwining calls to prayer bursting from mosques across the world's longest-inhabited city. Strains of Umm Kulthum and Fairouz rose from radios and stores as horses clopped and cars purred by. The age-old harmonized with the modern. These sounds shaped the gorgeous and thoughtful Syrian singer's impeccable musical intuition and velvety yet crystalline voice, now channeled into the stunning live performances. With her voice as a common denominator, Gaida has found the soulful sweet spot where complex Levantine rhythms and rich melodies synch up with breezy hints of bossa nova and that certain swing found only in jazz. Gaida's songs, refined over a decades-long journey, unite the elegance of Arabic poetry and the refined ornamentation of Middle Eastern vocals with the sophisticated urbanite sensibilities of her adopted home.
Gaida and her band were featured in Jonathan Demme's 2008 drama "Rachel Getting Married." They've recorded with Robyn Hitchcock, Gillian Welch and Alejandro Escovedo and performed in prestigious national venues like the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall and many world music festivals.
