Bangkok church reaches int'l refugees in its own backyard
Carrie Chappell, IMB missionary, and Kim Amihan, Calvary Baptist Church volunteer, visit the Younus family in Bangkok. These asylum-seeking families typically live for up to four years in tiny one-room apartments while they await processing of official refugee status by the UNHCR.

BANGKOK (BP) -- The white gunnysack keeps slipping out of my hands. It didn't feel this heavy when we started walking 20 minutes ago, but now my arms feel like wet noodles in this Bangkok heat and humidity.
Calvary Baptist Church volunteer Kim Amihan grabs the bag from me and lets out a grunt at the weight. I'm convinced we're carrying 70 pounds of rice but it's really just 10, plus spices from South Asia, cookies, canned meat and an odd assortment of extras from the church's "world hunger food closet."
We are taking it to a refugee family but are lost on the backstreets of Bangkok. We definitely look out of place in this Thai neighborhood -- a Filipino, a Brit and two Americans looking for South Asians. Finally, International Mission Board missionary Carrie Chappell spies a smiling William Younus waving to us. He quickly invites us out of the scorching sun and into the oven he calls home.
Two teenage boys pour us glasses of cool water while their preteen brother confiscates extra stools from the neighbors. The four of us sit shoulder-to-shoulder in the open floor space of this tiny concrete room. The boys and their parents squeeze onto the only other available spot, on top of the lone bed crammed into one corner.
This concrete block room is no bigger than a child's bedroom in most American homes, yet a family of five lives here. It isn't quite what you expect when you think of refugee life.
The iconic image of refugees is row upon row of white tents in a sprawling emergency camp, not a dingy apartment in a mega-city. But the reality is that only one-third of the world's 15.4 million refugees live in camps. Like most of the world's population, refugees have steadily moved into cities and towns. Urban refugees are among the fastest-growing population segment globally.
Thousands of people like the Younuses live in Bangkok, where the United Nation's High Commissioner for Refugees has an office. UNHCR estimates 90 people seek asylum each month in Thailand, fleeing some form of persecution or war.
Thailand is one of the few countries that does not honor the international human rights laws protecting those who flee persecution and seek asylum outside of traditional camps. Instead, urban refugees are considered illegal migrants.
Younus lifts his chin to show us a shiny scar from a knife wound. His 13-year-old son has a scar from a bullet on his arm. The two were threatened for being Catholic. The family fled to Bangkok in the hopes of safety and a better future. What they didn't know was that urban refugees often face dangers and hardships those in the traditional camps never experience.
The South Asian man explains they knew it would be difficult to leave everything behind -- the family business, their home, dishes, clothes, friends and family -- but no one warned them about the isolation, depression, fear and hunger that most suffer when seeking asylum, especially when separated from the large refugee camps.
In an urban environment, the UNHCR cannot always provide services, protection or support as easily as it can in a camp. Filling this gap is the reason our group is traipsing around Bangkok carrying a gunnysack of food. Chappell explains that asylum seekers are not allowed to work or earn money. Once the United Nations has granted them refugee status, they receive a small stipend for rent until they leave for their new host country or are repatriated to their old one.
Navigating through the UN paperwork can take years. In the meantime, families like the Younuses struggle to survive. For the first time in their lives, these doctors, bankers, accountants and business owners turn to begging to feed their families.
"Jesus is so compassionate that we want to share His compassion with others," Chappell explains. "This often starts with a bag of food and a listening ear. They just want someone to talk to someone to share their stories with. They want to know that somebody cares about them."
UNHCR estimates that more than 40 nationalities are represented in Bangkok's urban refugee population. Calvary Baptist Church, a Bangkok congregation, realized the urban refugees' needs were an opportunity to minister to "the nations" in their own backyard.
With Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund help, the church established a food closet supplied with a few comfort foods from various countries. Volunteers from the congregation distribute the food during their free time.
"We decided early on that we didn't want to have the refugees come and stand in a distribution line. We wanted to really connect one-to-one," Chappell said. "We want to have personal contact and meet each family in their home like this."
I can see love and concern in Chappell and Amihan's faces and hear it in their laughter. The two sit in easy companionship with this refugee family. Amihan, a Filipino schoolteacher, teases the Younus boys while Chappell asks the parents deeper questions. She knows the UN paperwork lingo and can ask the right questions to make certain the Younuses have enough food.
By the smiles, Chappell knows they are excited to have visitors. Finally, someone cares enough to listen to their story.
Younus says his family lives in constant fear of being arrested, so they stay in the small cement-block room they rent. They are lonely and depressed.
Chappell nods her head in understanding. Providing social interaction is one reason church members visit refugees' homes. She invites them to church, mentioning that several families attend a small group in their language. They would love to add another family from home.
I try to hide my smile at Chappell's understatement. The international church has many small groups studying the Bible and offering each other support in language groups from Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Some of the small group leaders are trained pastors who are also refugees.
When it's time for us to go, no one wants the visit to end. Our new friends walk with us to the main road and promise to visit Calvary on Sunday.
Back at the church, we meet a group of refugees sweeping the parking lot and raking leaves. They do this every week as a way to say "thank you" and serve the Lord. A 19-year-old who was baptized a few weeks ago asks if we have just come back from visitation.
I give a tired nod and his smile grows wide.
"Someone came to our house," he says. "That's how I met Jesus."
He goes back to work, humming a praise chorus.
This is the same story I hear repeatedly from the refugees: "Someone came to my home and shared Jesus' love." For believers, Calvary's ministry provides a safe place to worship the Savior. For those who have never heard, Calvary introduces them to the Gospel.
Just thinking about this makes me want to load up a gunnysack with food and visit another family.

Michelle Obama, WAL-MART, Daley, Big Box Ordinance Veto
by truthteller2007, Wed Jul 04, 2007 at 06:33:19 PM EDT
There are many reasons to oppose Obama, whose paltry legislative record disqualifies him for the Presidency. That he would cite state legislative experience during a Presidential campaign as a qualification already reveals to this voter how underprepared he is for the Presidency.
Limit comments to discussion of candidates and connections to WAL-MART, please. This should faciliate discussion about candidates' and corporate complicity and its potential relation to failures to implement progressive policies.
Michelle Obama resigned Tuesday from the board of TreeHouse Foods Inc., a Wal-Mart vendor, eight days after husband and White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said he would not shop at the anti-union store.
I guess Obama's attempt to pander to AFL-CIO union voers in Trenton, NJ, created a conflict with one of the Obama family's sources of income.
Michelle Obama sat on the Board of this Wal-Mart friendly company since June 27, 2005, or just a few months after Obama was elected to the US Senate. Michelle Obama, also a VP of The University of Chicago Hospitals in charge of "community outreach," did not have experience in the private sector before serving on the Board of the WAL-MART ally. In fact, she chose to pursue the Board position in order to gain experience in the private sector, and this experience was made available to her after her husband was elected to the US Senate. According to
the London Telegraph,
[S]he has just been re-elected to the board of an Illinois food-processing company, a position she took up two years ago to gain experience of the private sector.
She was reelected to the lucrative post on April 19, 2007, or three months after Barack Obama began actively campaigning for the Presidency.
But how did she obtain the position? According to Lynn Sweet, she undertook the position with the WAL-MART ally in order to gain experience in the private sector. Here is a summary of her experience before serving on the Board of a WAL-MART ally:
A Harvard-trained lawyer, Michelle Obama began her career as an attorney at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin, and later went to work at Chicago City Hall and at the non-profit group Public Allies, a leadership program for young adults.
And she holds the sinecure of part-time VP at the University of Chicago Hospitals while working for the WAL-MART friendly vendor. But if she had no experience in the private sector, why was she elected to the post? Is that not a risk for the company? Or did the company want a link to a US Senator?
Obama, according to Lynn Sweet and to other who reported on his statements before the AFL-CIO in Trenton, NJ, said the following:
On May 14, during an AFL-CIO forum in Trenton, N.J., Sen. Obama was asked about Wal-Mart. "I won't shop there," he said. Chief rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) served on the Wal-Mart board between 1986 and 1992.
He also made the these pronouncements, which are reproduced in the London Telegraph story:
As the Illinois senator prepared to join the presidential fray late last year, he threw his weight behind the union-backed campaign against Wal-Mart. He declared that there was a "moral responsibility to stand up and fight" the company and "force them to examine their own corporate values".
But how can he denounce WAL-MART's values and claim he would never shop there when his wife has over $100,000 of salary, stocks and benefits from a company that engages in very friendly practices with WAL-MART? According to CBS2 Chicago,
The company, which supplies retail grocery chains with pickles, nondairy powdered creamer and other products, said Wal-Mart was its largest customer last year, according to an SEC filing.
In other words, TreeHouse Foods and WAL-MART are close business partners.
Now the Obamas have not provided compelling answers when asked about this egregious conflict of interest. Here is Michelle Obama:
Barack is gonna say what needs to be said, and it's not going to, you know, necessarily matter ... what I'm doing if it's not the right thing," she said. "He's going to do what's right for ... the country. He's going to speak out. And he's going to, you know, implement his views as he sees fit. ... I see no conflict in that."
According to Michelle Obama, her affiliation with WAL-MART through the sinecure she held at TreeHouse Foods, does not "necessarily matter." In fact, she "sees no conflict in it," as Barack will "say what needs to be said" in order to win the Presidency.
But the cynicism does not stop there. Here is Barack Obama in the London Telegraph:
Sen Obama's campaign team and Mrs Obama's spokesman did not respond to requests by The Sunday Telegraph for comment. But the senator previously told Crain's Chicago Business magazine that, while his views on corporate reform and social justice remained the same regardless of what happens at Treehouse, "Michelle and I have to live in the world and pay taxes and pay for our kids and save for retirement".
So for Obama it is just a bunch of words: he and Michelle can profit from WAL-MART through a company that is one of its biggest allies, for they have to take care of their own.
That Obama's opposition to WAL-MART is just a bunch of words is admitted by a spokesman the Obama campaign managed to find to defend this conflict of interest. Chris Kofinis, Communications Director of WakeUpWalMart.org, just one of many activist groups who oppose WAL-MART, made the following excuses for Obama:
"Many companies do business with Wal-Mart," said Chris Kofinis, communications director for WakeUpWalMart.com, a project of the United Food and Commercial Workers union. "The difference is whether one stays silent on Wal-Mart's negative business practices or not. Sen. Obama has not stayed silent, and he should be applauded for that."
So for Kofinis, who ostensibly opposes WAL-MART, endorses doing business with WAL-MART. And for him, mere words are enough. Since the Obama campaign's opposition to WAL-MART is just words, I imagine Kofinis, who is just one of many critics, and not necessarily the most effective critic, is satisfied with these mere words. But what about the $100,000 the Obama family now possesses as a result of their collusion with WAL-MART?
It is significant that the Obama's view opposition to WAL-MART as so many words to be uttered during a campaign. Obama is from Chicago, and the Chicago City Council voted to force stores such as WAL-MART to pay living wages, not minimum wages, if they were to build facilities in the City of Chicago. The vote on the Big Box Ordinance occurred in late July 2006. Richard Daley vetoed it on September 11, 2006, when Bush was visiting Chicago. This was Daley's first veto after serving as Mayor of Chicago in 17 years. All this occurred while Michelle Obama sat on the Board of the WAL-MART friendly company.
Barack Obama endorsed Daley for Mayor in January 2007. And Michelle Obama was still on the Board of Tree House Foods when this endorsement occurred. And Obama made this endorsement despite all the reports on cronyism and corruption in City Hall. In fact, Obama ran into trouble with Daley in 2005 after making comments about Daley's corruption.
Why the reverse on his stance on corruption? Did it have anything to do with WAL-MART, the Big Box Ordinance and his wife's affiliation with a WAL-MART friendly company? And if Obama is so vocal in his opposition to WAL-MART, why endorse a Mayor who vetoed a bill that would force WAL-MART to change its corporate policies,? Is this not what Obama says they should do when engaging with AFL-CIO voters? Or is it all just words? Or is it just words in the right place at the right time? To quote Michelle Obama again:
Barack is gonna say what needs to be said, and it's not going to, you know, necessarily matter...
Indeed, it will not necessarily matter, for the Obamas have their $100,000, and WAL-MART has an ally in Chicago City Hall.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Kate Hudson and Rachel McAdams don't use the same makeup artist, and Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman aren't seeing the same holistic healer. So how to explain their similar rosy glows and collectively perfect bee-stung lips? No, the answer has nothing to do with Photoshop. They're all members of the cult of Benetint, the original lip and cheek stain from Benefit Cosmetics that's been making fans of celebrities—and the rest of us—for over 30 years.
The brainchild of twin sisters Jean and Jane Ford, Benefit thrives on a quirky sensibility—a "laughter is the best cosmetic" policy that's an extension of the founders' own lighthearted approach to life. After making for the West Coast to pursue a short-lived career in modeling, the Indiana-born Fords launched their beauty empire in the late seventies with the idea that makeup could provide both physical and comic relief for women who, as the sisters put it, "might be having a case of the uglies." Seven and a half million multitasking bottles of Benetint later, and the Fords are still doling out the pretty. "We don't follow trends," says Jean. "Our raison d'être is to create products to fix particular beauty dilemmas." Their latest venture is a new scent trio due out next month. Read on to discover the method behind their makeup.

The Michigan State Police report two troopers received minor injuries during an overnight pursuit in Saginaw.
The MSP said around 12:45 a.m., troopers from the Tri-City Post tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation on Hess Avenue, near Walters Street.
Authorities said the pursuit continued through multiple neighborhoods before emerging onto southbound Dixie Highway. Troopers said the driver of the truck intentionally rammed two patrol cars before becoming stuck on King Road, west of Dixie Highway.
Police said the 31-year-old driver of the vehicle was treated at Covenant Hospital for undisclosed injuries and is currently being lodged at the Saginaw County Jail. Troopers said he is being charged with multiple felony charges, including flee and elude, felonious assault and operating under influence of drugs.
MSP stated that two troopers were injured during the incident. One was treated and released the other trooper did not seek any medical attention.

Jeff Gentil: The Bearcats' pride is hurt. Their backup (yes, if Brendon Kay was healthy he, not Munchie, would have been the starter) quarterback is out for the year. Hopes and dreams of an undefeated season are long gone. Thankfully they have Northwestern State coming in. And Northwestern State will feel the pain of a pissed of team. However, I still think the sting of last Saturday will still be there and the Bearcats won't be fully focused. But they do win, 44-17. Bring on Moo U.
RepublicOfCincinnati: With Coach Tubbs already acknowledging that personnel and scheme changes are coming, I expect a new look Bearcats that will completely dominate Northwestern State...as they should. Look for Kay to pass for a couple of TDs, RDA IV & Williams to each score multiple times, and for Bennie Coney to play like a QB with something to prove.
Bearcatlair: UC 42, NW St. 14. It's easier to win at home, UC has always been tough at home (remember Brent Celek's incredible TD against #5 Rutgers?) and this directional university has the same problem as UC last week, motivation to play a non league game on the road that means nothing.
Matt DuMont: I'm interested to see how this team responds after that game last week. What I'm hoping is that the loss woke them up and they realize they can't just beat a team by walking on the field. A nice change for the Bearcats this week is they get to play on a field that isn't 100+ degrees at gametime. When you mix that with being back at home and (hopefully) a team that is looking to take some anger out, I see a 45-10 UC win.
Matt Opper: I hate to be dismissive about a team, any team. But if the Bearcats want to achieve some of the goals that they set at the start of the season this is a game they have to win big, regardless of circumstances. There will be new guys in different roles this game. That could make things more dramatic than they need to be. Bottom line a dominant Bearcat win is the only way to convince the fans that they should stay on the bandwagon for the rest of this year. I think thats what UC delivers. Bearcats 63, Demons 17

A black cloud of smoke filled the sky above Saginaw as firefighters battled a massive blaze. They responded to 412 Potter Street Saturday around 8:17 p.m.
Firefighters tried to go inside the building but it was too dangerous. They were forced to fight the fire from the outside.
"When the crews first arrived they had a battle on their hands. They took the determination that this was a fire that needed to be fought offensively, which means from the outside in for their own safety," said Saginaw Fire Marshal Ralph Martin.
Crews spent more than three hours working to get it under control.
At one point flames could be seen shooting out the roof of the building. The structure appears to be vacant. According to Saginaw City records it is owned by the Saginaw Depot Preservation Corporation.
Investigators are still working to determine the cause. Saginaw Township and Buena Vista Township provided mutual aide.

New Orleans Saints Bounty System
In the beginning of March it was made public that the coaching staff and select players of the New Orleans Saints a professional football team in the NFL had created a bounty system with different types of rewards including cash for injuring opposing players. The head coach and defense coordinator of the Saints have had to deal with the harshest punishments so far.
This is extremely unethically and morally wrong, the game of football is for enjoyment for both the viewers and the players. No one should want to personally injure another person let alone get a reward for doing so. Rather than just receive punishments from the NFL I believe the players and coaches involved should receive criminal charges as well because it was premeditated with plans and intentions of injury which is assault. It is one thing for an injury to occur during a regular play but if the play is designed to hurt someone and it was pre-planned the in my eyes that should be considered a crime.

Celebrate Hilton Head's 350th Birthday by Land and by Sea at Palmetto Dunes
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue to discover America, and in 1663 Captain William Hilton was the first to spot the Lowcountry jewel that is today Hilton Head Island. On an expedition to explore lands granted to King Charles II, Hilton sighted the island named for the headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound.
In celebration of this momentous occasion, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is offering the Happy Birthday Hilton Head package, inviting guests to see the island as Captain Hilton first saw it by sea, as well as enjoy the modern amenities the island offers today. Guests will enjoy adventures like ziplining, kayaking and a nature cruise, as well as fall outdoor sports like golf and tennis and a special "birthday" present.
The Happy Birthday Hilton Head package includes:
- 3 nights' accommodations in a 2-bedroom resort view villa.
- Dolphin cruise or nature tour through Broad Creek to see Hilton Head by sea, just as Captain Hilton did 350 years ago.
- 1 round of golf per person at one of the resort's three championship golf courses to experience Hilton Head as "the golf island".
- A chance to see the island from above with Zipline of Hilton Head on a 2-hour eco adventure tour by zipline over Broad Creek.
- 3 days of bike rentals and a 2-hour kayak excursion to "explore" the island in the spirit of Captain Hilton.
- Two hours of free tennis court time daily to experience the island as a top tennis destination. Tennis Magazine has named Palmetto Dunes the top tennis resort in the Carolinas.
- A "birthday" gift of Hilton Head souvenirs, including a Hilton Head T-shirt, Palmetto Dunes' Tervis Tumbler and HHI Euro car sticker.
The package starts at $214/per person and is available through December 31, 2013.
The Town of Hilton Head Island will also be hosting a special 350th celebration September 30-October 5, 2013 with special historic tours and lectures and other events.

Hit O'Neals with some friends last night, but have stopped in a few times before. Met the owner once - I recall him taking some pride in having a nice selection (which he does). The downstairs bar was a little overlit than I'd prefer, bathrooms a bit too small & messy. Beer selection is good. Service was good. Prices are about par for anything on South Street or around Center City. Crowd was definitely mixed but had no issues or problems whatsoever. Not sure if I'd try the food - never heard anyone ever mention this place as an eating destination, strictly a beer place. I'd come back to place again.

Nice friendly atmosphere just a block off of busy South Street. Small tap list, lots of macro brews, but fairly lengthy bottle list, both import and domestic. Menu has traditional pub grub, including a nice shepherd's pie. One cask offering is also available.

My brother, his friend, and I met my cousin and some of his friends in Philly. They wanted to check out south street. I was the DD, so I wasn't going to be doing a lot of drinking. But I wanted to get at least something decent. So I suggested O'Neals based on its good BA rating.
We ended up going upstairs because it was pretty crowded downstairs. Which worked out well. We were practically the only people up there -- South St in general was not too crowded, especially for a Friday night. There was a DJ upstairs - not blaring music, though. Easy to hold a conversation over. And he played to our group's somewhat dorky tastes, fun stuff.
The place in general had a pretty good feel. It was kind of narrow and reaches back into the building a bit. Pretty well lit though.
I ended up getting a beer downstairs and bringing it up. They had at least a dozen taps downstairs. Plenty were macro-y stuff. But more than enough good choices - Mad Elf, Yards IPA, La Chouffe, couple others I've forgotten. I ordered a La Chouffe which was served in a Chimay chalice. I would probably have gotten a Mad Elf too had I not been the driver. Definitely a pleasant experience after being dragged to Fat Tuesdays.

This was my first trip to O'Neals. I was put off a little at first by the darkness of the interior on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon, but the sight of those 13 taps brightened me up. The service was a little non-friendly at first but the barman warmed up as he realized that we were serious about the beer and looking to have a good time. The selection was great. I sat right in front of the beer cooler and the hand pump, which happened to have the DFH 60 Minute on tap. There were many other good ones, the Rogue Dead Guy Ale and Weihenstrphaner Hefewissenbier were the winners for the day, but they also had the Victory Vienna Lager on tap. There were many local favorites in the cooler and a nice selection of Unibroue.
We shared a simple Turkey sandwich so it's hard to rate the food. The sandwich had fresh ingredients including a spicy mayo that was excellent. It came with homemade potato salad also excellent. A down note for the food was that I was hoping to try their chili, which I've heard raves about but they don't serve any soups in the summer. The food selection is mostly pub grub with a few exceptions.
All in all a pleasurable place to pass some time with a good beer and the ball game on TV.

O'neals has slowly replaced the dark horse as my go to place for sporting events, more than likely for its inclusion to the runup of the phillies world series victory.
Atmoshphere is almost always great, probably biast because i come here fore games, but crowd is always into games and drinking semi responsibily. Anyway, its great for a game or a game of darts.
Quality has always been good, enough attention to brews and food and games.
Service has also been very good, no long waits for drinks and very attentive even during great games.
Selection is one step above average, always great beers on draft and in bottle, they could focus just a bit more towards selection and this place could be my go to, but understand they need t o keep the crowds from south happy.
The food from what i have had has been good, solid bar food.
Overall, good quality and reasonablly priced. Definitely a good stop fora philly beer aficinado on a late evening on south street.

I went here for lunch today with my buddy Tom, its been a very long time since I was down here. The website states they around 19 taps and alot of locals brews. I saw around 15 or so taps. The Ist floor is really big with 7 tvs, and a nice deck area out back, the upstairs has a gaming area. The beer selection was great considering other bars along South Street, 13 taps and around 90-100 beers in bottles also. I had a Stoudts Scarlet Lady and a Yuengling Porter to go along with my perogies, emm! both were very good. This is a good stop when ever your down South Street.

ONeals Pub is a very attractive establishment. The front of the building opens up with big folding wooden, windowed doors that let you walk right in, instead of using the little door on the left. This pleased me as far too many places in Center City have that cramped, narrow feeling to them. This opening really helped change that feeling.
Once inside, we grabbed a seat at the bar right in front of the hand-pump. Looks like Yards ESA is on. On either side of us were tap towers spouting some local favorites and other tasty brews. Directly in front of us was a wide cooler with an enticing display of local favs here as well. Sadly, the cooler was a little foggy so the proud majesty of SEPAs brewing tradition couldnt beam through unhindered. A squint could make out what was there behind the fog. To each side of the cooler were some simple shelves full of liquor bottles and glassware. Looking around a little more revealed a well done reliance on dark hardwoods. Nothing too fancy, but real simple, solid, honest wood work in the walls and the ceiling which sported some nice stained-glass lamps. Breaking this theme was the wide tan tiled floor. Also there were what seemed to be omnipresent, but inconspicuous televisions. There were everywhere, but they didnt attract your attention. Im not sure how they pulled that one off, but they did it, and I appreciate it. On a quick walking tour of the place, the back had a few older looking booths and the kitchen pickup window, making the rear look a lot like an old diner or deli. Further back was the deck. This was an enclosed area with a few tables with big umbrellas in the middle of them. This area was swarmed by creeping vines, giving it a great biergarten look. Thanks to Mayor Street, the Philadelphia area smokers will be out here a little bit more. Lucky them. Back inside, the upstairs looked a lot like the first floor but with some darts and a pool table.
The beers on-tap were SNPA, Amstel Light, Yuengling, Stella, OReillys Irish Stout (which we nabbed), Hoegaarden, Weyerbachers Hefe, Stone IPA, Boddingtons, Flying Fish Farmhouse, Stoudts Pils, Woodchuck, and the Yards on cask. Very nice. The bottles were very nice as well, most of which were locals.
The bartender was quick with the drinks and really seemed to be up on his beers. We didnt stay there all that long, so I cant say too much about him.
Over all, I liked this place. The beer selection is really impressive and from what Ev says below, their food sounds pretty good. If youre in the area, check this place out for sure.

Right off South Street, this two story sports bar has 13 taps (1 hand pump) and a very good selection of bottled beer. 5 or 6 of the taps are usually reserved for local breweries (which, in this town is a good thing), but they always manage to have a Belgian, English, and German on tap as well as something from the West Coast. The atmosphere has a laid back vibe to it, although it can get very crowded late night. Patio is open in the summer months. Reasonably priced. Overall, one of my favorite bars in Philadelphia.

The Bataan Death March through Philly (see that, Ev, I'm not LOCAL, despite having grown up in Lancaster) continued, but we were nearing the end and none too soon, either.
O'Neal's was just south of South Street and it has been a local fixture for a long time. They had a folding window/door overlooking the street that was open on my latest visit. The doorway, with a Celtic cross built into its design, was just north of the folding door. The "L"-shaped wooden bar was just to the right upon entering. The back bar was bisected by a cooler, the top three shelves of which were dedicated to micros and a few quality imports. They had a dozen drafts, most notably including Sly Fox O'Reilley's Stout on Nitro-pour and a cask (!) of Yards ESA. Headed aft, there were six restaurant tables and chairs, and all of the way aft, the kitchen. Out back was a small biergarten. Upstairs had a second bar with a short stage and a bay window overlooking the street.

Chronic thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that often results in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism).
Chronic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease is a common thyroid gland disorder. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland.
The disease begins slowly. It may take months or even years for the condition to be detected. Chronic thyroiditis is most common in women and in people with a family history of thyroid disease. It affects between 0.1% and 5% of all adults in Western countries.
Hashimoto's disease may, in rare cases, be related to other endocrine (hormonal) disorders caused by the immune system. Hashimoto's disease can occur with adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. In these cases, the condition is called type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA II).
Less commonly, Hashimoto's disease occurs as part of a condition called type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I), along with:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
Note: There may be no symptoms.
Laboratory tests to determine thyroid function include:
Imaging studies are generally not needed to diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
A lack of thyroid hormone may develop. You may receive thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine) if your body is not producing enough of the hormone. Or, you may receive it if you have signs of mild thyroid failure (such as elevated TSH). This condition is also known as subclinical hypothyroidism.
If there is no evidence of thyroid hormone deficiency, you may just need to be seen regularly by a health care provider.
The outcome is usually very good. The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy.
This condition can occur with other autoimmune disorders. In rare cases, thyroid cancer may develop.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of chronic thyroiditis.
There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment.

|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (May 2013)
Microbotics (or microrobotics) is the field of miniature robotics, in particular mobile robots with characteristic dimensions less than 1 mm. The term can also be used for robots capable of handling micrometer size components.
Microbotics is that branch of robotics, which deals with the study and application of miniature ones like mobile robots of micrometre scale.
While the 'micro' prefix has been used subjectively to mean small, standardizing on length scales avoids confusion. Thus a nanorobot would have characteristic dimensions at or below 1 micrometer, or manipulate components on the 1 to 1000 nm size range. A microrobot would have characteristic dimensions less than 1 millimeter, a millirobot would have dimensions less than a cm, a minirobot would have dimensions less than 10 cm (4 in), and a small robot would have dimensions less than 100 cm (39 in).
The earliest research and conceptual design of such small robots was conducted in the early 1970s in (then) classified research for U.S. intelligence agencies. Applications envisioned at that time included prisoner of war rescue assistance and electronic intercept missions. The underlying miniaturization support technologies were not fully developed at that time, so that progress in prototype development was not immediately forthcoming from this early set of calculations and concept design. (ESL Inc., 1970)
The concept of building very small robots, and benefiting from recent advances in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems. Due to their small size, microbots are potentially very cheap, and could be used in large numbers (swarm robotics) to explore environments which are too small or too dangerous for people or larger robots. It is expected that microbots will be useful in applications such as looking for survivors in collapsed buildings after an earthquake, or crawling through the digestive tract. What microbots lack in brawn or computational power, they can make up for by using large numbers, as in swarms of microbots.
Microbots were born thanks to the appearance of the microcontroller in the last decade of the 20th century, and the appearance of miniature mechanical systems on silicon (MEMS), although many microbots do not use silicon for mechanical components other than sensors.
One of the major challenges in developing a microrobot is to achieve motion using a very limited power supply. The microrobots can use a small lightweight battery source like a coin cell or can scavenge power from the surrounding environment in the form of vibration or light energy. Microrobots are also now using biological motors as power sources, such as flagellated Serratia marcescens, to draw chemical power from the surrounding fluid to actuate the robotic device. These biorobots can be directly controlled by stimuli such as chemotaxis or galvanotaxis with several control schemes available.
Nowadays, owing chiefly to wireless connections, like Wi-Fi (i.e. in domotic networks) the microbot's communication capacity has risen, so it can coordinate with other microbots to carry out more complex tasks.
As of 2008, the smallest microrobots use a Scratch Drive Actuator.[1]
A recent partnership between Google's new Medical Research subsidiary, Chrome Pharm, and Microbot Medical, a tech company that specializes in medical microrobotics, has seen a profound jump forward in the design and capabilities in Microbotics. The efforts of their partnership was showcased at the annual Micromachine Mems Exhibition. [2]

No Spill Gas Can 5 Gallon Capacity 1450$32.99
The button makes it easy.
Our Slogan is true. Simply press the button to pour. It's intuitive. This is the easiest gas can to use on th emarket - it's not even close. A gas can should be easy to use.
Don't overfill with Auto Stop.
We used simple physics to develop a nozzle that automatically stops the fuel flow when the target tank is full. Just hold the button down. Simple.
Don't wait so long.
Our patented nozzles flow up to twice as fast as other nozzles. No gurgling or interrupted flow. When filling up large equipment how long do you want to hold a 40 lb. 5 gallon tank?
Don't push around your equipment.
We have the only can that lets you pour gas without touching the target tank. All other current nozzles require pushing against the tank to open their valve. This force can move or roll your equipment. Not good. Remember our valve is controlled by a button.
See what you have.
Double wide view stripes on both the front and back of our smaller cans. Now you know your fuel level from across the yard or garage. No guessing and no extra trips to the gas pump. Every gas can should have view stripes. No-Spill is the only can with them.
Lasting power.
Our cans have the thickest skins. A robust 70% thicker than most cans. This costs much more to make, but you get what you pay for.
Three handles on each can. Finger handles on each nozzle, and a finger slot on the bottom of each can (rear handle on the 5 gal.). Your hands share the weight and are in a comfortable position to pour with accuracy. Our design makes it easier to hold. The top handle is for carrying.
- Push-button pour control
- Auto shutoff prevents overfilling
- Extra fast flow rate
- Made of heavy-duty, extra-thick polyethylene for long life
- Wide, stable design is tough to tip over
- 3 handles provide easy pouring
- Large neck opening makes the can easy to fill
- Double-wide front and back view stripes for at-a-glance fuel level assessment

Shooting death

In a written statement, police spokesman Lt. Dan Rochelle said a family argument apparently led to the shooting death of 26-year-old Jacob Gutierrez.

Start feeding CrystalClear® Koi Food once pond water reaches 50°F or above. (For feeding between 40°F and 50°F it is best to use Pond Logic® Spring & Fall Fish Food easily digestible wheat-germ based formula)
All fish feeding should stop once the water temperature reaches 40°F. Being that the fish are almost in state of hibernation at that point, they will then live off their stored body fat until spring feedings start up, again at 40°F.

Reviews for Chocolate Guinness Cake
Sort By :
This was great. It had a delicious chocolate taste that was really enhanced b
y the beer. I made it for a St Patricks day dinner and everyone loved it! To whiskeydrinkingcowgirl. A cake falls when the ingredients have not been mixed properly. I would make sure all the ingredients are well mixed.
One of the best cakes I have ever made. And maybe the easiest recipes to follow (except the part about using a small saucepan - medium works better to handle all of the ingredients). I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe- it comes out great every time! And everyone loves it!!
What more needs be said, this cake was incredible!
This cake is awesome! I also listened to the advice some gave and whipped most of the whipping cream to make the frosting fluffier and not so runny. It seems to make way too much for the cake though, so I dip plain cookies in the leftover frosting.
I've made this cake 3 times and it's fallen every time. Has it happened to you and do you have any advice how to keep it from falling? We love the cake and the frosting hides the hole in the middle.

Flights are expensive, so some airlines are trying to cut costs.
A new in-flight drink option: wine in a can.
Spirit Airlines wants to can it. The low-cost carrier is now serving wine from aluminum cans.
The airline likes the canned wine better, but not because of taste. Wine in cans weighs less and is easier to store.
The wine cans contain a little more than the mini-bottles.
The airline is offering White Moscato or Strawberry Moscato wine from Friends Fun Wine.
Mini bottles of Sutter Home wine are still available.

Timothy Szad, 53, was released from a Springfield prison early Friday morning. He served out a 13-year sentence for sexually assaulting a teenage boy.
Last week, the Vermont Department of Corrections warned the public Szad is likely to reoffend. He was slated to live with family in Springfield, but after much push back from residents that offer was withdrawn.
"If they feel alienated and disgraced and dismissed and marginalized then they've got nothing really to restrain them from their own bad instincts," said Tom Powell, a forensic psychologist.
Powell told WCAX News Thursday that as Szad re-enters normal life, public outcry could do more harm than good. He will no longer be under department supervision. Szad is now headed to California.
Gov. Peter Shumlin declined to comment on camera, but in a statement Friday said: "This has been a difficult situation, and I have shared the concerns expressed by many Vermonters about ensuring a placement for Mr. Szad that guarantees Vermonters' safety and keeps Mr. Szad accountable. I appreciate that the Department of Corrections and others were able to work together to find him an appropriate placement in California."
Last week, Shumlin told WCAX News he would consider stricter laws for sex offenders.
"Anything that the Legislature and we can do to make this state safer from pedophiles, I'm for," Shumlin said July 19.
Twenty states have civil confinement laws which require sex offenders to stay in prison after serving out their sentence if they are still considered dangerous. Shumlin stopped short of endorsing the measure in Vermont, but says he isn't ruling out the possibility of taking it up next session.
According to the California attorney general's office, Szad has to register as a sex offender there within five business days of his arrival.
If he ever returns to Vermont, he would have 24 hours to get on the registry here.
It's unclear where in California he will be living.

The Lincoln County Animal Control Office is looking for information on 1-year-old black lab found covered with pellets from a BB gun.
The female dog, named Lady, has since been adopted and is in the care of new owner Wednesday.
The stray lab was found two weeks ago wandering behind a home in Waldoboro and taken to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, where a vet discovered 80-100 BBs under the dog's face, back and legs.
Dr. Dean Domeyer of Boothbay Animal Hospital treated the dog.
Domeyer said the dog appears to be healthy and happy, with a friendly temperament.
Domeyer said the BBs appear to be brass, therefore they don't need to be removed unless they start to infect the surface of the dogs skin.
Anyone with information should call the police department at 207-832-4500.

The video showing a woman getting hit is getting a lot of traction on YouTube. The video doesn't appear to show her doing anything wrong, questions remain on what the police officer was doing when he slammed her into a metal bench.It is a pretty violent blow.
The woman was walking on the sidewalk near a group of loud students in the street with police lined up behind her. As she approached the line of officers, an officer lunged out, using his baton as a battering ram as he hit her, sending her sprawling over a metal bench. Fellow U of A student Phoebe Landolt took the video with her cell phone."And you know everybody who saw it started screaming at him, she didn't do anything, what was that for? And a lot of us were just making sure she was ok because it was a pretty rough hit," said Landolt. The girls friends helped her up, she looked dazed. "She didn't appear to be injured, she walked away from the scene. Her friends were clearly upset they were just trying to get back to their car to leave," said Landolt.
It looks like the officer was working to protect the flanks of fellow officers who were dealing with the rowdier group of people in the street.On Monday, Tucson Police internal affairs confirmed they are investigating if this officer went too far.

MPSJ's SAC @ Awenda Park Snowshoeing Retreat by KlaudiaB - over 3 years ago
"This photograph was taken of our school's student administrative council proudly wearing our new SAC hoodies. We went on a retreat to Awenda Park by Georgian Bay to bond as a group! I was very pleased with my experiences with CustomInk, with their service, prices and delivery; it was not as exhausting as the snowshoeing"
