Four Day Getaway to Chicago - Blu Aqua:Good ChoicePosted Aug 19, 2014
Cons: The Filini Restaurant was disappointing, maybe the chef had a bad night, but the food was pretty bad. Car Parking is a pricy $61.00/night.
Location: Shedd Aquarium Millenium Park Michigan Avenue Navy Pier Giordano's Pizza Lakeshore Drive Art Museums
This modern hotel is located in a very good location for walkers and taxi-hoppers alike. In minutes we were in Millenium Park, Giordano's Pizza, or one of the many fabulous breakfast stops! Shopping on Michigan Avenue is a 5 minute walk and, if you're up to it, the Aquarium and Museums can be reached on foot in around 30 minutes. As for the hotel, the room was very well designed and room-to-room noises were minimal as a result of the hotel's somewhat staggered floorplan. The rooms were modern and somewhat minimalistic - almost too extreme, as most written literature had been converted to a TV-based search menu format. The separate tub and shower was spacious and well designed. The staff were among the friendliest and best I've met (especially in a major city): the check-in/check-out crew was very efficient, the conceirge was well informed and ready to book reservations upon request, and the valet crew quickly retrieved our car or a taxi when we needed it. Our four days went quickly, but we were refreshed and will very likely come back to this hotel. Oh, one more thing: If you're going to drive to the hotel and are unfamiliar with Chicago driving, be sure to get to the upper level of Wacker or Columbus because you'll never find the hotel on the lower levels (I know that by experience!)

Perfect on every frontPosted Aug 13, 2014
Pros: Design, comfort, liveliness
Cons: Slightly larger room
Location: Millenium park, Art Institute of Chicago, Willis Tower, River architecture cruise, Theater district...
The hotel is ideally located near numerous attractions, making it an ideal base. The architecture and decoration is of superior quality. The personnel is professional, helpful and friendly. The outdoor and indoor pools and deck are simply superb. A top choice and I would love to go back.

Great hotel in wonderful locationPosted Aug 7, 2014
We took a taxi as we left the hotel. When we arrived at the train station, the taxi took off with our luggage. We did not know the taxi company or the taxi number and had paid with cash. Scott, the assistant manager at the Radisson, looked at the video footage from the security camera to find the information we needed. Our luggage will be delivered this morning!

Gorgeous hotelPosted Aug 5, 2014
Pros: Pretty much everything
Cons: The area to check in is a bit cramped compared to the rest of the hotel.
In this case, you really do get what you pay for. The Radisson Aqua is an outstanding hotel in every aspect - beautiful lobby, gorgeous building, responsive staff, terrific bar / restaurant, pretty lobby, spectacular pool and gym, fast elevators, and amazing rooms that look and feel like apartments, with some of the most astonishing views of Chicago I've seen from anywhere else in the city. The hotel is also very conveniently located to Michigan Avenue as well as Millennium Park. The only problem is the expense - but in this case, it may be worth it.

Great place for a family downtown vacationPosted Aug 1, 2014
Pros: Really liked the hotel staff which made checking in and out a breeze and very quick. They stored our luggage for the afternoon when we checked out.
Cons: Cheaper prices, but this is downtown chicago, after all.
Location: Close to the loop. Easy to get to the CTA. Divvy bikes are nearby. Good restaurants close.
We and the two early teen grandkids spent a couple of nights here to enjoy a short downtown Chicago vacation. Turned out to be a really good choice since the hotel was in a great location with a great staff and was more reasonable (not cheap!) than other nearby nice hotels. Parking was convenient -- pricey, like everywhere downtown -- and easy to self park. The room was a nice size, the beds queen and the view was pretty good. We stayed on the fourteenth floor facing the city; lake views cost extra. The hotel gym and two swimming pools were very nice and the two hot tubs were relaxing. Didn't eat at the hotel, but the restaurant looked nice. The building is very unique and distinctive.

Fabulous facilitiesPosted Jul 30, 2014
Pros: Facilities, friendly staff, convenient location.
Cons: more information about the immediate area would have been helpful eg the quickest way to walk to the lakefront, but we could have asked the concierge
Location: About 10 mins walk to subway - we tended to get taxi to beach, museums etc (fare usually less than $10)
As a family of four (with sons aged 21 and 18), this hotel provided something for us all. We all enjoyed swimming in both the indoor and outdoor pools. The boys made good use of the gym each day, and also the basketball court. Husband and boys used the running track (300 m approx, and 'nicely sprung' according to them). And since I am an early riser, I would take a coffee and sit with my book on the sundeck each morning - very tranquil. Chicago is a great city but a city break at the height of summer would have been exhausting if we had not been able to relax here for a few hours each day - it made all the difference.

By�Bill Skow
If conditions at the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo are so abhorrent that Gov. Terry Branstad has chosen:
1. To fire 93 dedicated, hardworking and professional employees.
2. To do so without providing retraining or transfer opportunities.
3. To close the institution in conflict with current law that mandates the state provide such a facility.
4. To do so without providing the Legislature an opportunity to consider changes to the law and raising the question of whether the action is even legal.
5. To close the institution, citing recommendations from the �task force,� when their final report contains no such recommendation.
6. To contend that the decision is based on doing �what is best for the children,� when there are so many former students who offer testimonials to the contrary that are supported by empirical evidence.
7. To ignore more than $23 million of physical improvements to the facility in recent years, funded by the hard-earned tax dollars of Iowa residents and approved by the Legislature.
Then why:
1. Are Department of Human Services Director Charles Palmer and his line supervisors not held accountable for their complicity in failing to provide proper oversight and forestalling such massive problems, if they truly exist?
2. Does Branstad choose not to rely on the legislative process to address these issues?
3. Does Branstad not apply the same logic to the State Training School for Boys in Eldora and unilaterally close it?
4. Does Branstad ignore the obvious gender-equity issue when no state-administered, residential treatment facility is provided for girls and is for boys?
As a 16-year member and former president of the Iowa Juvenile Home Foundation, a charitable, non-profit organization that has raised and spent $600,000.00 to benefit the students of IJH, I feel entitled to answers from the governor. I�m sure many voters in our state would like answers as well, would desire the Iowa Juvenile Home remain open or, at the very least, allow our legislature to have a say in the matter.Bill Skow of Toledo is a retired executive vice president of the State Bank of Toledo. He has been associated with the Iowa Juvenile Home for 49 years and served on the original Iowa Juvenile Home Advisory Board, charged with assisting in the development of treatment standards at IJH.

Detours on 2nd NH Turnpike in place for the long haul
FRANCESTOWN - Drivers using the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike to commute or to visit the Crotched Mountain Ski Area in Bennington will have to get used to taking detours as repairs to a failed bridge might not happen for some time.
On Dec. 4, during a routine inspection of the bridge that spans the Piscataquog River on the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike, the state Department of Transportation recommended the immediate closure of the bridge because it was no longer safe to carry all traffic. A second bridge on Woodard Hill Road over Brennan Brook was also closed.
Since Dec. 4, traffic has been detoured around the closure, taking drivers down Red House and Center roads. In the meantime, the Francestown Board of Selectmen began investigating ways to repair the bridges temporarily before funding can be found for more permanent fixes.
The 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike Bridge was slated to be replaced in 2015 with funds from the state's 10-year highway budget, but waiting two years or more wasn't an option the selectmen were comfortable with.
However, last week, the board learned from Selectman Road Agent Gary Paige that the temporary repairs he thought might be possible to get the road open weren't in the best interest of the town, according to Francestown's Administrative Coordinator Michael Branley.
According to the town's engineering firm CLD Engineers, any temporary solutions that might have been considered aren't adequate to handle the flow of water through the two culverts that make up the bridge.
Additionally, the temporary repairs wouldn't hold the need for permanent repairs at bay beyond their scheduled replacement date, and Paige said he couldn't justify spending as much as $250,000 on repairs to a bridge that would be replaced the following year anyway.
The Board of Selectmen agreed with Paige's assessment that spending a quarter of a million dollars on such a short-term fix was not justifiable, and as it stands, the bridge on the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike will likely remain closed until at least 2014

* I realize that I probably should have put this under FanShots instead of FanPosts, but I wanted to add a few comments, point out some quotes from the article, and I didn't like that BGN-ers can't comment on FanPosts. *
So I was browsing PennLive.com and I stumbled upon this:
DeSean Jackson is gone because he wouldn't buy into Chip Kelly's program: Philadelphia Flynnie
Let me make it clear that I'm not an expert like so many of you that post here. But from the moment I started reading this article, I was screaming at my computer. I'm not sure what kind of background or credibility Tom Flynn (aka "Philadelphia Flynnie") has, but his article seems to contradict nearly everything I read here on BGN. And I tend to trust the BGN writers.
In the opening sentence, Flynn claims:
Chip Kelly's decision – and don't be mistaken, this was Kelly's call – to release wide receiver DeSean Jackson
First, for anyone to think Kelly had the authority to act alone on this decision has to be utter nonsense. I can't in my right mind believe that Roseman/Lurie and the other powers that be would stand idly by and let the Chipper make this decision on his own.
Secondly, the sole reason Flynn claims Jackson was cut:
DeSean Jackson is gone because he wouldn't buy into Chip Kelly's program.
is a crock of shit. While it may be true that Jackson wasn't buying into it entirely, Jackson's performance last season should have indicated to everyone, including Jackson, that Kelly's program was beneficial to the team. Why would someone completely disregard that? To act as that is the sole reason the Eagles parted with their star WR, who is coming off of a career best year, and to ignore other signs, and that it was most likely a factor of several things is lazy journalism, in my opinion. As much heat as BGN writers took during this saga (some from me), I think all of the writers here are well above Flynn in terms of writing.
Just curious as to everyone else's thoughts on the article on PennLive...

What do you think? I'd say, maybe, a lawnmower running over a glass jar full of peanut butter. ^.^

Melted silly putty that was tossed off of the empire state building, it setting on fire as it falls, a thousand screeching cats, a thousand screeching cats attacking humans and their screams, and the xscreams of a person who the flaming silly putty landed on, all together!
Sounds like 4Kids.

Everyone who knows me knows that I really love the Peanuts gang. So I have been trying to answer this question with the hopes that I can possibly catch it on TV.
Does anyone know if ABC will air "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" any time soon?
I have searched Google and just can't find an answer and hope you might be able to provide some information.
I hope they didn't air it already.
I remamber last year when they aired the Christmas special right after Thanksgiving!

I would like to make a request from all who are members of this prayer group. This request was given me by a member and I think it is a great idea.
We always want to keep all our members in prayers for their needs...be it temporal or not. We need to pray for each other's needs-even if a dollar short to make the rent.
Since we cannot know what is going on all the time, maybe by us following a specific time for this type of prayer, we can do each other so much good.
I would like for every FRIDAY (day of the week Jesus offered Himself up) all of us to select a time slot that is convenient for you to pray: 6am, 9am, 12 noon, 3pm, 6pm or 9pm. Let me know by email if you this this is a good idea. The thought of everyone taking a small moment out of their day to pray of the needs of this group is a very worthwhile, selfless, project. It means we love each other.
Below is a prayer you may use if you like or one of your own if just fine also. Thank you!
Dear Jesus, Magnificent Lord:
We thank You for all Your blessings and mercy. Lord, we approach You today for help to
our brothers and sisters in need. Many are struggling spiritually - please send them
enlightenment, peace, and the Holy Spirit to take them out of confusion. Allow the right
people in their path to restore them to the truth and walk with You on the right path.
We pray for so many of our brothers and sisters suffering from lack of what is necessary to
live properly: food, shelter, lack of work. We pray Lord, that You will help them our or the
crisis they are going through today. Restore their homes. Help them find work.
We pray for all those with a combination of losing their souls through drugs, alchohol - please
provide a person to intervene and lead them out of destruction.
Oh, our dear Savior and King-
without You we are nothing. All things are possible with You! Here we are together, praying in
earnest for the needs of our brothers and sisters and we know that whenever two or more meet -You
are there in the midst of them. Then Lord, we place our trust in You! You are full of Mercy-
this is one of Your greatest attributes!
We ask this through Your Precious Blood and Sorrowful Passion! Amen.
I, too,
am having trouble breathing these past few weeks at times. Grew up with asthma, but have not have it often over the years. Am guessing a lot has to do with this being a terribly high pollen year here in North Carolina.--Greensboro is the 7th worst place in the country. If you can, Mucinex is terrific for getting rid of stuff in your lungs if that is the problem. Meanwhile, you are being held up to the Father by many.
God's protection,
God's protection,

Chikungunya Fever among U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers -- Republic of the Philippines
Three cases of chikungunya fever were diagnosed recently among U.S. Peace Corps volunteers stationed in the Republic of the Philippines. These are the first cases reported from the Philippines since 1968. The cases were diagnosed as part of a collaborative long-term infectious disease study by the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 and the U.S. Peace Corps in the Philippines.
The first patient, a 27-year-old male, was stationed in Mindanao, one of the southernmost islands of the Philippine archipelago. His illness occurred in June 1985 but was not diagnosed until October 1985. The second case occurred mid-November 1985 in a 31-year-old female stationed on Cebu, one of the islands that forms the central portion of the archipelago. The third case occurred in January 1986 in a 23-year-old female stationed on the island of Masbate, also in the central part of the country but north of Cebu.
All three cases were diagnosed using an IgM antibody-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Chikungunya virus was isolated from a blood sample obtained from one of the patients 3 days after onset of fever. The clinical presentations were typical of chikungunya fever and included acute onset of high fever, severe joint pain, and skin rash. The illnesses persisted 3-7 days, and all patients recovered uneventfully.
Chikungunya virus may have been introduced into the southern Philippines from Indonesia. The first case detected in the Philippines occurred in an area of Mindanao, Davao del Sur, which is approximately 200 km north of central Indonesia; the area is reportedly frequently visited by Indonesian traders and fishermen.
The full extent of epidemic activity in the Philippines is not known. One of the Peace Corps volunteer patients reported many cases of a chikungunya-like illness (locally termed "Chinese fever" or "Asian flu") in the Filipino population of the village where she lived. The potential for widespread activity is present because of the large population of susceptibles and the abundance of the vector, Aedes aegypti, particularly in large urban areas like Manila. Reported by CG Hayes, PhD, T O'Rourke, MD, U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2; A Sarr, US Peace Corps, Philippines; Div of Vector-Borne Viral Diseases, Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The word "chikungunya" is Swahili for "that which bends up," in reference to the stooped posture of patients afflicted with the severe joint pain associated with this disease. The disease was first recognized in epidemic form in East Africa in 1952-1953 (1). The etiologic agent, chikungunya virus, is arthropod-borne and has been placed in the family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus (2). Human infections are acquired by the bite of infected A. aegypti mosquitoes, and epidemics are sustained by human-mosquito-human transmission. The epidemic cycle is thus similar to those of dengue and urban yellow fever.
Since 1954, the virus has been implicated as the cause of epidemics in Asian countries including the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Burma, and Sri Lanka. Epidemics of chikungunya were documented in the Philippines in 1954, 1956, and 1968 (3-4). Serosurveys suggest that virus activity occurred in the central and southern part of the archipelago (5). Chikungunya virus has been isolated from humans and mosquitoes in eastern, southern, western, and central Africa and in southeastern Asia, where it has been responsible for illnesses in hundreds to thousands of individuals.
Chikungunya fever is characterized by sudden onset, chills and fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, arthralgia, and rash. In contrast to dengue, chikungunya is characterized by a briefer febrile episode, by persistent arthralgia in some cases, and by the absence of fatalities. However, similarities between clinical appearances of the two diseases probably account for misclassification and some underreporting of chikungunya fever in areas with endemic dengue; therefore, laboratory confirmation of reported cases is important. The IgM-capture ELISA used for diagnosis of these patients is especially useful in this regard (6).

Grabbed this one while in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Poured on tap a few steps from the brewery this one is considered the "Original Bayerisches Weizen". Aroma of dark malts, fruit (banana mostly), and lots of yeast. Taste was like the nose except for a hint of cloves. Very smooth mouthfeel. A decent, neutral and cloudy, wheat brew.

3.2/5 rDev -4.2%
Standard German brown half liter bottle with a blue, white and brown label featuring Munich's Bavaria statue on top of the Bavarian blue and white checkerboard flag. Purity law applies. Best before 9/3/04, I opened it on 5/9/04.
Gorgeous pour - cloudy copper under a two finger tan head that manages a lovely crown above the glass then settles ever so slowly, leaving magnificent lace. They just can't look any better than this. The nose has sweet clove and yeast, but there's also a touch of charcoal that I find off putting. The mouth is light and a bit flat, much too flat for a Hefeweizen. The taste is a tad watery, with the requisite clove and some caramel sweetness. There's very little discernible hops. The aftertaste is spicey sweet. It's OK, but little more than that. Quite a disappointment after the sumptuous pour. Sigh.

The Kaye Effect: jumping shampoo video
A random find for Friday, thanks to Dennis D. McDonald. I always thought Twente was an interesting place. From the video description:
Scientists of the University of Twente in The Netherlands won a prestigious place in the 'Hall of Fame' of videos about fluid-in-motion. They have made a video of leaping shampoo, in which they explain the so-called Kaye effect. Scientifically interesting but also of great aesthetic beauty!

BTW. The University of Twente, were I work, is located in Enschede (the city). Twente is the region.

Question of the day 12/19: What's your main concern about the entire L&D process?
Worried that the staff will be horrible? Or that the gowns won't fit? Or are you petrified of the pain or epi?

Frank's wife on 3/11/2005, Dominick's mama on 3/24/09 and expecting baby number two 4/15/2011.
I had a c-section with my first and have to have a repeat because of a hernia and they will repair that at the same time... I am scared beyond words about the epidural. I know it sounds insane.. but there is just something about not being in anymore pain than I currently am and having a large needle stuck in my back!
Mom to Natalie (4) Riley (1) and due on 10-4-10
I am also scared of the epidural. I also sometimes worry about the entire process and I really worry about pooping on the delivery table :(
~Court, proud Mommy to Tavish Patrick (4.10.09)
Expecting #2 on 9/6/10
i'm going for a natural unmedcated birth, so i am just hoping that i don't have a c section or any kind of interventions....but, my mind is open that that may happen....i feel pretty calm and as prepared as i can be being a 1st time mom, and my hubby and doula will be there to help me through it. i do hope my doctor/ birth team will try to stick to my birth plan though...i've heard stories where they won't even acknowledge them...but the hospital we're going to is pretty good with natural childbirths.
River Michele eta..... 03-18-2009
I've had good and bad epi experiences so I'm not really worried about that. I'm most worried about having to be induced early since there have been complications. I really don't want to have to leave her in NICU and go home. I was lucky with my DS that he only had to be in the hospital for 4 days. Although I was discharged after 2 days, they have a special room (like a dorm room with 3 beds) for moms whose babies are still in the NICU, so I stayed there for 2 nights so I could be close to him and nurse him. But there is a 3 day max on staying in the room if other moms are on the list to stay there.
mom to Elisabeth, Tim and Susanna
Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
I'm worried about having to have a C-Section... All the women in my family have had to have c-sections, but I want to do this natural with only IV drugs... NO epidural. I'm terrified of needles (at my first prenatal appointment I hyperventilated and then started crying hysterically WHILE hyperventilating, and they had to lay me down to do the blood draw... lol) So I want nothing to do with an epidural... I'll avoid it at all costs... besides... I know someone who had such a bad epidural experience that I would never want one for myself. I know for some women it's wonderful and a definite blessing, but I just can't bring myself to do it. (I won't get into it, because I don't want to scare anyone.)
Wife to John 10/25/08 and Mommy to Josie (our Jack Russell Terrier)
And Benjamin Oliver born May 4th, 2009! 6lbs 6oz :)
I'm worried that my OB is going to insist I have a c-section, despite my not wanting one. Other than that, I'll take whatever comes as it comes, I guess. I have no previous experience to draw from!

This may sound funny, but my biggest concern is about the way my DH is going to be while I'm in labor. I'm the calm one in our family, and he is anything but calm. I'm afraid his leg-shaking, pacing, constant talking, stressing, etc is going to drive me crazy!!!
Jill (39) & DH(45) - married 4/4/08
DD (04/20/09), ^Angel Baby^ (9/25/11), our RAINBOW baby is due 02/27/13!!
My only worry is having to be induced again and ending up with a postpartum hemorrhage. With my ds, my uterus was overstimulated by the pitocin and it stopped contracting after my placenta was delivered. I ended up having a bad bleed. It was very painful and I really hope I don't ever have to go through that again.

Since I'm a first-timer, I don't really have that specific of concerns. I am more concerned about the unknown of this whole process, since I've never gone through it before. I'm afraid of how I'll handle the pain, and I'm afraid in general of something crazy going awry and freaking me out. I will, though, try to think positive thoughts and be as prepared and informed as I possibly can!

Carrie Twomey got off a train at South Station yesterday and walked down the platform of Track 5 enjoying, just for the moment, something she'd give anything to have permanently: total anonymity.
Her grandfather was from Lynn and her relatives worked at General Electric and the shoe factories. She grew up in California and married an Irishman named Anthony McIntyre and they made a life together in Ireland, first in the North, now in the South. She came to Boston because she believes the only way that life will be secure is if a bunch of tape recordings remain secured at the Burns Library at Boston College, and not turned over to the British government.

They give you either money or special mods that go to one or more guns you own at the time of shooting cats. I found two cats on one level and after I shot secong one it said you have obtained special weapon mod for M4
I only found two so far (not on the same level,) but when you shoot them they explode like fireworks. Destroying them all counts as an achievement. Some one claimed that you unlock bonus weapon parts if you find both in a level. Pretty much you'll be looking for the lucky cat statues you'd see in asian shops. Try doing an image search for lucky cat to see what you're looking for.
You don't get weapon parts for them. Just a trophy.
I found all the cats i don't remeber it ever saying that we unlocked and weapons or parts. I did notice that so of the guns no longer had to be paid for other then that its just for a trophy

With the exception of the judge, everybody involved in the case -- from the bailiff to the court reporter to the secretaries, clerks and attorneys -- will need Q clearances.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx stopped in Birmingham on Wednesday as part of a national tour he's taking by bus.
Foxx is traveling through eight states as part of a weeklong "Invest in America, Commit to the Future" tour, promoting the importance of investing in transportation.
On Wednesday, he arrived on a MAXX transit bus, along with Birmingham mayor William Bell and several other local leaders.
Foxx spoke at the construction site of Birmingham's future Intermodal Facility, which is near the original intermodal facility. His main focus: The dwindling Highway Trust Fund, which is says is set to run out of money by late summer.
"Transportation is not a partisan issue, you show me a Democratic or Republican pothole. A Democratic or Republican bus, car, train. It doesn't exist. All of us use our transportation system," he said.
Foxx touted the President's $300 billion propsol that would use gas tax money couple with business tax reforms.
If a deal isn't struck, Foxx says it would impact nearly 700,000 jobs immediately, as well as transportation improvement projects that are set to get started.
"We can't stop ourselves in our tracks. We can't stop America from growing. We can't stop things like your intermodal facility. That's where the future is," Foxx said.
The new intermodal facility is expected to be finished in 2015. It will be a hub for Birmingham's MAX bus service, Amtrak and intercity buses.
The Federal Transit Administration is contributing about $24 million toward the $30 million cost, according to the Dept. of Transportation.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell says the funding isn't just about public transportation, but growing all forms of transportation.
"Without that, we won't be able to compete. So it's important to have the funding we need to move our city forward," Bell said.
After leaving Birmingham, Secretary Foxx was headed to Gallion, Ala.

text: Hi Friends, I will be enjoying my yearly week long stint in Carpinteria on the week of Independence day. The dates are not set in stone yet but I hope to be in town from 6/30-7/7, at the very least, four days around the fourth. This seems a little early to post, but I hope to link up with some awesome locals for awesome local climbing! I'm laid back easy going, and get a long/bond with pretty much anyone. (very empathetic)I cruise 5.10s and similarly graded boulders all day with ease. I can climb most 5.11s, and hang dog up .12s. As far as bouldering goes I'm up for anything even if I can't climb it, I will always try. I am a great belayer and don't mind helping you project. (especially if you let me use your grigri) In my short climbing career (2+ years) I have done an adequate amount of sport/bouldering. I have done some trad belays/follows, and multipitch belays/follows. I come from central desert AZ, so I don't mind a little choss. Side note: I have been an on/off freelance photographer for 7 years and if you have static lines and enough gear I would enjoy taking hanging photos of you climbing. And I may do so regardless, assuming I'm not preoccupied with climbing Enough of the pleasantries, I can be reached via facebook, e-mail, or cellphone. My name on facebook is Karmel Honeyburg, (obviously not my real name) e-mail is email@example.com. If we like each other enough we can exchange phone numbers. I look forward to hearing from one or ten of you. And regardless if you contact me or not, I hope your day/week/month/year/life is treating you extremely well! Thanks, Karl

After dissapointing the coaches by coming to camp overweight it looks like Tice will give him a shot at taking over for Kenny Mixon during his two game suspension. Does anyone know how he's done in camp?
I'm not so sure he's doin real well but he's getting his shot. I kow he was high on the vikes board and they were very exited to get him but he hasnt turned out to be what i or they thought he was gonna be. I hope it works out and he shows us what potential he has. If he turns out to be a bum its gonna suck because we could have used that third round pick to get a CB.
What I am hearing is that he came into camp alittle out of shape and carrying a extra 15 pounds, he was slow to pick up reads and lost on wahat to do.
about a week ago I heard he had drooped the weight and was doing better with his reads and wasn't as confused and that Cotrell was taking notice of him.
I had only heard good things about him. They said that he was really strong and they where happy with his "nasty streak".

I have another piece by this manufacturer which was much easier to assemble and appears to be better quality. It does serve its intended purpose.
I've had my Tower for about 1-2 months, and it's incredible. It has all the storage that I need and then some, and it doesn't take up a lot of space in my living area. The quality is great for the little price paid, and the style is simple, but modern at the same time. I love the two drawer underneath, I'm able to store things to keep my area neat and clean. I love it especially because I'm able to not just put in the living room, but also in the bedroom, I know because I bought another. It may look hard to assemble, but omg so easy it assemble I tell yah. I'm so glad I bought this, highly recommended.

Metallica have announced the release of their Beyond Magnetic EP as a limited-edition silver vinyl pressing exclusively for Record Store Day. The EP -- which features four previously unreleased tracks from the Death Magnetic sessions -- has already seen a digital and CD release.
With a 3D film and a music festival in the works, it's hard to believe Metallica will be able to find time to write and record a new album. That said, that's exactly what they're doing.
One of the factors that led to Jason Newsted's departure from Metallica in January of 2001 was frontman James Hetfield's reluctance to allow his bass player to indulge in side projects during the band's downtime.
Outside of Saturday Night Live, no other current TV show can boast as many impressive musical guests as The Simpsons. And The Simpsons has the edge because its many musical appearances are actually meant to be funny. Scores of rock icons -- including three Beatles, two Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica -- have appeared on the show as eight-fingered, yellow-tinted versions of themselves.
It's safe to say that, regardless of any artistic merits, Metallica and Lou Reed's collaborative album, Lulu, was one of the more coldly received albums in 2011.
Last month, Metallica confirmed the rumors that they had a 3D film in the works, and were aiming for a 2013 release.
In a new interview with The Quietus, Slayer's Tom Araya was asked about Lulu, Metallica's recent collaborative album with Lou Reed.

Implicit Transfers in IMF Lending, 1973-2003
AbstractWe compute realized transfers implicit in IMF lending from 1973-2003, based on 2003 IMF repayment projections and promised debt relief. IMF lending rates to high-and middleincome countries fell short of industrial country borrowing rates by 30-150 basis points over the period as a whole, but exhibited a small premium after 1987. The subsidy received by low-income and HIPC countries was much higher (400-600 basis points, respectively). In 2002 NPV terms, cumulative transfers were 12-15 percent of 2002 GDP for the HIPCs, 2-3 percent for low income countries, and less than ¾ percent for the emerging market countries.

The Likable Winner versus the Competent Loser: Candidate Images and the German Election of 2002
Academic journal article
By Anderson, Christopher J.; Brettschneider, Frank
German Politics and Society , Vol. 21, No. 1
Brettschneider, Frank
Article excerpt
Although the German constitution does not provide for the direct election of the head of the executive branch by the people, the preeminent position of the federal chancellor has long tempted commentators to describe the German political system as a "chancellor democracy." (1) Based on this characterization, one might be tempted to assume that the German election of 2002 was therefore about electing a chancellor. To be sure, if voters could have voted for the chancellor directly in 2002, Gerhard Schroder would have easily defeated Edmund Stoiber. Yet, despite public opinion polis that never once showed the challenger outpolling the chancellor throughout the entire election year, the election turned out to be a cliffhanger.
What, then, was the influence of the chancellor candidates on the behavior of voters? Put differently, does the close result mean that Chancellor Schroder helped eke out an election win for an otherwise hapless SPD? After all, the massive flooding along the Elbe offered him an opportunity to demonstrate his vigor and present himself as a savior to countrymen in distress only weeks before they were asked to cast their ballots for the new government. Did Schroder, literally speaking, surf back to power on the waves of the flood of the century? And did his categorical no to German participation in a possible attack by the United States on Iraq make the difference in the end by stirring passions in order to mobilize his party's core voters?
At the outset, these appear to be reasonable conjectures and interpretations of what happened in 2002. At the same time, it can plausibly be argued that the election outcome was not so much the chancellor's victory, but that Stoiber, the chancellor's Bavarian challenger, cost the CDU/CSU the election. After all, Stoiber was widely portrayed in the media as an awkward politician who lacked both eloquence and charisma. (2) Stoiber, simply put, was a man with the reputation of a wooden policy-wonk who was, in the end, unable to shake the image of a conservative politician from the south. Viewed from this perspective, it is conceivable that the election could have brought a change in government if the CDU/CSU had nominated a different candidate for chancellor.
While the election campaign initially was mostly focused on issues, Schroder as early as May focused the voting decision very simply as "him or me" ("der oder ich". As such, from the SPD and Schroder's perspective, the election was presented first and foremost as a choice between the two candidates. In contrast, the Christian Democrats presented Stoiber alongside a team of political leaders, composed of a mix of established and new faces. In the end, if we are to believe the pundits and their initial interpretations of the election outcome, the media friendly show talent Schroder beat the wooden issue politician Stoiber. Even if this is the case, why, then, did the SPD not appear to benefit more from Schroder's popularity? Alternatively, does this mean that the SPD won the election because of Schroder and that a federal election can be won by staging a candidate-focused production?
Personalization of Electoral Politics in Germany: Facts and Fiction
Portrayals of the "Americanization" of German elections axe popular among many analysts of contemporary German politics. Americanization means that politics is devoid of content, that issues are increasingly pushed aside, and that important issues and debates get lost. Instead, elections have become pure beauty contests, designed by handlers, spin-doctors, and professional image-makers, and packaged in ways that are easily communicated via mass media. Democratic theorists would contend that such an increasing depoliticization, if it in fact exists, can be a danger for democracy. While these portrayals are popular, are they therefore also correct? We argue below that the claim that German elections are increasingly candidate-focused and personalized is arguable at best. …

In November, the City Council voted against a request to decrease the health board's size from seven to five members and change the department head's title from health agent to health director. Both issues were initiated and supported by the Board of Health. Neither would have changed the duties or authority of the department or board.
Several councilors were skeptical of the board's inability to get a quorum and expressed reluctance to change a setup that has worked for decades.
The council's Committee on Public Health, Safety and the Environment had previously held a discussion of the issues and voted to recommend both changes.
An issue can be brought to the City Council once per calendar year. Now that it's 2013, the Board of Health plans to petition the council to reduce the board to three members.
Many surrounding communities, including Peabody, Danvers and Beverly, have three-member boards of health.
"It works for everyone else," Poremba said. "Why wouldn't it work for us?"
A 1912 state law established local boards of health at three members, Poremba said. Salem's board was enlarged in the 1970s to manage a city-owned hospital.
"The Salem Board of Health, at that time, was really a large health department," she said. "We had double the staff we have now."
The city gave up control of that hospital — Shaughnessy-Kaplan Rehabilitation Hospital — decades ago. Now called Spaulding Hospital for Continuing Medical Care North Shore, it is part of the Partners Health Care system.
