Opensuse 11: Alpha 2 with KDE 4
The biggest change to the second alpha version of Opensuse 11 has to be the inclusion of KDE 4, which now replaces the older KDE version 3.5.8.
Gnome users can look forward to version 2.21.90 of the alternative desktop. Live versions of both flavors give inquisitive users the option of risking a trial run without migrating to the current version which still contains a fair number of bugs.
Under the hood the distribution now has the new kernel 2.6.24, which not only supports more wireless cards, but also includes an improved scheduler and more efficient process management. At the same time, the tickless system at core of the distribution pays more attention to energy consumption.
A beta version of Open Office 2.4 handles office applications such as word processing, spreadsheets and slideshows. Wine 0.9.54 gives users the ability to run numerous Windows programs, and there is now a Qt 4 version of Sax2, the tool that Suse users have run to set up the screen resolution since time immemorial. On the subject of Qt: the developers are already working hard on a preview version of Qt 4.4.

It's no secret that a lot of Americans, and people around the world alike, are living more sedentary lives. We are constantly bombarded by e-mails, instant messages, phone calls, text messages, tweets, and the list goes on. These notifications that come in so frequently, especially when you consider the rest of our workload, can make it very difficult to maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Activity Equals Happiness
One of the things we see in many stressed individuals who are struggling to maintain a balanced lifestyle is the fact that they do not exercise. At all. Often times they will say, "Well, I simply don't have the time to exercise – not with all the responsibilities I have at home and at work." This couldn't be more of an obvious excuse. The simple truth is that if you really want to maintain a balanced lifestyle it doesn't take a lot of effort in the way of exercise. Anywhere from 20 to 30 min. a day is all it takes to get those endorphins going and get a really high quality feeling to kick off the day.
Adding Bicycling to Your Repertoire
The simplest way that we have found introduce activity into people's lives is to have them learn how to bicycle. Of course, most people already know how to ride a bike – they just haven't done it in years. The benefits of bicycling are very hard to deny. You will experience increased athleticism, endurance, as well as an improved mood. It's funny how simply hopping on bicycle and spinning the wheels for half an hour drastically improves the way do you feel – not only about yourself, but about others as well.
It doesn't even take a huge investment start bicycling. All you need to pick up is a cruiser bike for sale at a local shop or run your town or online. In fact, some of the better deals can be found online, at least when it comes to a high-quality cruiser bike. We recommend cruiser bike simply because they are the easiest and most user-friendly way to get back into bicycling and get yourself back into a healthy lifestyle.
How To Choose a Bike
When choosing a bike, you need to make sure that it fits. This is the first and foremost priority for you, not the way that you look when you're on it. Most people tend to commit this fatal flaw of style over substance, and find their bikes very uncomfortable to ride. What happens then? They get frustrated, sore, and quit. All of a sudden they are back to an extremely unbalanced lifestyle.
Instead, take the opposite approach. Make sure that you are going to stick with this lifestyle change by getting a bike that's extremely comfortable and fits your body type. If you're not sure which one to get, you can always ask questions of the bicycle specialist that is in your area. They're there to help and they are very knowledgeable about the different types of bikes out there. There is no doubt in our minds that they will be a will recommend one that is just perfect for you.
Start Riding!
After you have picked up all your gear, the next step is simple. Start riding! Just hop on and go for a short bike around neighborhood to get your bearings back. You'll be surprised at how easily you pick it back up. They were lying when they said that you never forget how to ride a bicycle. It is simply an innate talent that, once learned, we'll never leave your muscle memory.
Working bicycling back into your life is going to have immense benefits on your overall lifestyle. If you have found yourself overly stressed with work and family commitments, you will soon find that hopping out on the bike is a great way to relieve stress and get all that extra pent-up energy out of your system. It's going to help you live a much more balanced life. A life that is happier not only for yourself, but for your loved ones and coworkers as well. It really is true that the more balanced your life, the more balanced and productive your work can be.

I can imagine what you must be thinking right now. "Oh, God no. Kat is writing another Gagne article again?" It can get old, I know. I also realize that you have a team to worry about, no time to care about a player who's not on the team anymore. But throughout the season, there has been something that bothered me a lot and as we're getting near to the end of the regular season it angers me that much more.
It's people, Flyers fans, who constantly talk about how relieved they are Simon Gagne is not a Flyer anymore. How genuinely happy they are the Flyers don't need to deal with his injuries and a huge cap hit anymore. How they claim he obviously would have been a liability had he stayed on the team. How clear it is that Holmgren "won this trade". And so long, and so on. I think you get the idea.
Look, I am not writing this to whine and complain about how the Flyers need Gagne, how he is missed or how he was a vital piece that can not be replaced. No. First, it would be incorrect. Second, it would be pointless. Third, I do enough of that in plenty of other discussion threads. I am writing this as an attempt at explaining why I think it's unfair to claim and express things I stated above.
First thing that hits you when you look at Gagne's stats is his +/- rating. Holy cheese, minus-19! It's the worst on the Lightning and it's near the bottom of the league (the worst player in this aspect is Erik Karlsson with minus-34). That itself screams how awful Simon is and how he sucks. Well, wait for a minute. Okay, it's bad, it's really bad but is it really the only number we should be looking at? It's +/- the only thing that is the factor in evaluating players these days?
As I found in one of the articles you linked to in recent Fly By, Simon Gagne is among the most unlucky players this season.
Although a lot has gone right for the resurgent Tampa Bay Lightning under new GM Steve Yzerman, Simon Gagne must be looking like a supreme bust to this point thanks to lackluster production and his terrible plus-minus rating.
However, Gagne has been victimized by the terrible goaltending that haunted the Bolts through the first half. The even strength save percentage behind him thus far has been .868, which is what one would expect from an NHL goalie…on the penalty kill. Add in that below average on-ice shooting percentage and you have a noteworthy acquisition and worthwhile gamble looking like bust because of straight up bad luck.
Gagne probably isn't a 40-goal scorer anymore and he's highly injury-prone, but he's certainly better than the surface stats suggest right now.
As much as I hate it, Simon does carry a label of being "injury prone." You can agree with it or you can argue it (as I do). Either way, it sticks with him and it brings a worry if/when he gets injured. Yes, he was hurt again this season. He was out for nearly 6 weeks, missing 18 games in the process. Laughs, giggles and "told you so" comments from the Flyers fans ensued. The Philly fans did look like winners at that time while the Lightning fans were frustrated with the situation. So much that it made me write another article in Simon's defense.
To quote myself,
Not even a half of a year ago, this guy played on a broken foot, helping his team to get into the Stanley Cup finals, only to be crushed by a heartbreaking loss in overtime and on top of things, to be traded away for a garbage. Not only did Simon lose his lifetime dream, he also lost his home in the span of few weeks. Think I am exaggerating? I beg to differ… Besides Quebec, Philadelphia was the only place he ever lived in. He spent 10 years there, he settled with his family there. He planned on spending the rest of his life there. What does this have to do with his lack of production? Even though it probably shouldn't, huge changes like that affect the player, whether we like it or not. A guy who's been used to cold, mist, drizzle and snow is now dealing with a spring-like weather. A guy who had familiar places and faces around him is now a stranger in a completely new environment. A guy who was respected and loved is now bashed and hated.
Dramatic, eh? Anyway... The off ice, personal aspect of players' lives is something hockey fans tend to forget about or think it's something that should not be considered as a factor of any value. "You're being paid millions of dollars, suck it up and play like you're supposed to." Right. Why am I bringing this up though is not only to justify Simon's lack of scoring touch but also to explain why his injury took longer to heal than it could have.
I'm not sure how many of you know, but the Simon's "stiff neck" issue didn't really begin in the Lightning - Islanders game, as I used to think. As many used to believe. The real, initial source of the injury was a check on Gagne from Mark Giordano in the Lightning pre-season game.
As Gagne said,
I got hit pretty hard in Calgary, head first, face first. I wasn't feeling the same on the ice (...)
But after the hit (in Calgary), I was like, 'I got hit pretty hard. I hope I'm going to be okay,' but everything was fine.
It was hard to know at that time if there was anything wrong. I kind of noticed a little, but I wasn't quite sure, and if you're still able to play, you go play.
And coach Boucher commented on that,
It's his last year of his contract, and after what's been said about him the last two years, he wants to get rid of that. There's pride there. You want to play. You want to contribute. You want to have a good reputation.
With the quotes I put here, it makes me wonder whether the situation would have been the same had Simon stayed with the Flyers? People are quick to say that his injury was expected and the amount of time he was out as well. But do we really know this would have happened to him in Philadelphia as well? My point is, if he was still with the Flyers, would he try to play through his symptoms, thus making the injury worse? I tend to think he wouldn't. Yes, the last year of your contract is still last year of your contract but it's a bit different when you're trying to impress new coach, new teammates, new fans. Unfamiliar environment and the desire to succeed, to get rid of a label, in front of people you want to impress. That's tough and I believe the injury wouldn't have been half that bad hadn't Simon had to deal with all that kind of pressure.
I know. The "what if" game. It's probably not that valuable in an argument or a discussion and I would be the first person to tell you that I hate it, and for a simple reason. We're not dealing with facts. Just speculations and more or less probable scenarios. Unfortunately though, I could not find any other way to play a Simon's advocate again. And as much as I can't be 100% sure that Simon would have been spectacular had he stayed, you can't be 100% sure he wouldn't have.

A teenager from LaPorte was killed in an accident with a semi-truck on October 8. Skyler Kleine, 17, was heading north on 900 East in St. Joseph County when a semi-truck heading east passed through the intersection, causing Kleine's car to wedge under the semi's trailer.
Kleine was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, 19-year-old Aaron Oaks, was taken to a local hospital for leg and arm injuries. The driver of the semi was not injured in the accident.
Local police are still investigating the crash and no charges have been filed.
According to information compiled by the state of Indiana, pedestrians, drivers and passengers of other vehicles sustained 73 percent of all truck accident injuries in 2012. Large commercial trucks are incredibly dangerous vehicles that can cause serious injuries to other motorists when truck drivers are distracted or negligent. Catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries are common in collisions with large trucks.
The attorneys at Doehrman Chamberlain have secured millions of dollars for victims of Indiana truck accidents. We recently settled for $1,400,000 for a client who was rear-ended by a commercial truck and suffered long-term disabilities from his injuries. The client suffered a brain injury, whiplash and amnesia. Subsequent medical exams revealed his injuries also affected his attention span, short-term memory, emotional health and ability to learn new information.
If you have been injured in an accident with a commercial truck, you may be able to file a claim. Contact our Indianapolis truck accident attorneys for a free consultation today at (317) 844-9999.
Doehrman's Did You Know: According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, about 28 percent of Indiana truck accidents in 2012 were due to driver distraction.

I have a giant pimple on the right side of my face and it's driving me nuts. Luckily, I know what's causing it. And I know how to help it heal—fast!
Sign up for Glamour.com's Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!
Just like you and me, skin is seeking balance and there are soooo many things that can cause it to fall off the beam (as in "balance beam"—get it? Or was I the only one up late watching gymnastics on Universal Sports last night?).
Here's what can throw your skin off:
Stress. One bad day at work isn't going to cause too much damage, but if you're consistently under pressure (crazy deadlines, anyone?) it can show up all over your face—in the form of blackheads, whiteheads and dullness. The fix: Relax. Do something that helps you burn off all that anxiety. (For me, that's running. Countdown to the NYC marathon!)
Skimping on sleep. Experts say you need 8 hours a night for optimal body functioning. Those guys clearly don't have cable, but they're right—the first thing to go when you miss out on Zzzz's is your healthy glow. The fix: Pillow time, duh.
Hormones. Breakouts on your chin and along the jaw are usually caused by a jump in progesterone (a hormone that increases oil production). If you've got a whopper and your period is due, there's your answer. The fix: The pill can help because it regulates hormones. (Just chat with your doc before trying one—there are lots out there and, they don't all work the same way.)
At this point you're probably thinking, "Thanks, Kim, this is all very interesting. But it's not helping me squash the sucker on my cheek right now!" Well, here's something that will: Sampar Prodigal Pen Blemish Corrector—it's chock full of essential oils that tackle the bacteria and the inflammation, making that pimple disappear fast. If you're like me, fighting the urge to pick and pop is tough, so I carry this little guy in my pocket and use it when temptation strikes.
What do you use to zap a zit? Got any good prevention advice?

Bank of Ireland UK Base Rate tracker mortgage customers hit by rate rise
Do you want to save this article to read later? You need to be signed in for this feature
Borrowers with a Base Rate tracker mortgage from either Bank of Ireland UK or Bristol & West will see their repayments increase from May.
Customers with Base Rate tracker mortgages with Bank of Ireland UK and its subsidiary Bristol & West are to see the cost of their monthly repayments dramatically increase. This is despite the Bank of England Base Rate, which the mortgages are partly tied to, remaining at 0.5% for the past four years.
However, the lenders can increase the so-called 'top-up' interest rate on these mortgages, and that's what they've done.
The rate for residential customers, who own just their own home, will rise from Base Rate plus 1.75% now to Base Rate plus 2.49% from 1st May. It will then increase again to Base Rate plus 3.99% from 1st October.
Meanwhile, buy-to-let customers will see their rate increased to Base Rate plus 4.49% from 1st May from its current Base Rate plus 1.75%.
Bank of Ireland estimates that 13,500 customers will be affected by the changes. More than half of that number has a buy-to-let mortgage.
The bank is blaming both Government requirements for banks to hold more capital in reserve and an increased cost of borrowing to fund mortgages for the decision.
However, it says it will waive early repayment charges if customers switch to another lender.
People with mortgages from the Post Office, which are also operated by Bank of Ireland, are unaffected by today's announcement.

Make sure you take all this information into account when comparing different deals.
Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

At the beginning of the school year, you can use your attendance list as a means to help you learn each student's name. However, once you know everyone in the class, you should be able to go through your list quickly and quietly. Two things can help you do this smoothly: daily warm ups and assigned seating. If you have students answer a couple of questions at the beginning of each class period through a posted daily warm up, this will give you the time you need to complete your attendance records and deal with a couple of other housekeeping issues before your lesson begins. Further, if you have students sit in the same seat each day, then if you will know someone is absent from their empty seat.
Each school will have a different method for collecting attendance sheets.
- If you have to send your attendance down to the office each day, assign a student each week to be responsible and have them do this quietly, and without disruption.
- If you have to post your attendance sheets for someone to collect from your classroom, make sure that the location for the sheets are right by the door.

Let's see what we have this year. The only two guys that have really been given a chance are Theriot and Fukudome. Ryan is .277/,314/.303/.617 in 2010. But since he was moved to 2B he has plunged to .221/.264/.229/.492 for 34 games and his sOPS+39. Worse yet, these are his numbers leading off the game. .174/.191/.217/.409 and sOPS+21. Add to that his zero SB and 1BB in 47 games. So while Lou apparently doesn't know what he can do. he might ask someone in the stats department if those are decent numbers.
Fukudome's numbers aren't much better batting #1. .206/.313/.294/.607 with 2BB and again zero SB. So how does this impact the team? We've been outscored 50-28 in the 1st inning. That's a 22 run deficit in the beginning. For the season we've been outscored by 26 runs, almost all of them accumulated by inning 2. When we trail going into the 2nd inning, we have a 2-16 record. Incidentally, we're outscored in the 7th inning 56-33, but that's another matter.
Bruce Miles suggests we move Soriano back to leadoff. Lou tried Colvin the other day. Some suggest Soto and others Fontenot. My opinion leans to getting someone at the top with good speed. But I also want someone who plays every day and isn't a power hitter because we've had our share of problems in the middle of the lineup. Those parameters suggest that Castro should be given an extended trial leading off. His numbers are .272/.327/.360/.687 with 12BB/19K. He's only been sent to steal twice but that's a reflection of his usual position ahead of either the pitcher or Lee. His speed is being wasted in those spots.
The biggest problem many claim is that he's a rookie and we don't want to put too much pressure on him. Ok. Let's look at some of the rookies who were put at #1 and succeeded in the past. Rickey Henderson and Suzuki both began their careers at the top. How about recent players? Pierre. Furcal, Nyjer Morgan, Dexter Fowler, Ellsbury, Hanley Ramirez and Denard Span. Unless there is credible evidence elsewhere, I can't imagine Starlin can't handle the job. The reality is that unless we find someone on the roster capable of leading off in 2011, we'll have to buy or trade a valuable player to win games. And anyone with a memory can tell you how successful we were getting Roberts or Furcal.

MALONE — The natural-gas distribution system through Franklin County is behind schedule and over budget, and future users will pay for the delays.
A report from Enbridge-St. Lawrence Gas General Manager Jim Ward said the company had spent $39 million as of December 2013 on the 48-mile project but will not have Franklin County customers online until late spring or summer.
Construction crews encountered unexpected boulders in three spots in the Brushton area that they have to drill through in order to properly place the gas-line piping, he said.
The project began in earnest last April with the plan to have both large- and small-scale customers obtaining service by the fall.
But, ironically, the only company hooked into the system is North Country Dairy in North Lawrence in St. Lawrence County, where the county legislature has so far refused to allocate any of the $600,000 it was asked to contribute to the natural-gas project.
Ward said the extended winter cold has caused almost as much trouble as the boulders.
"The weather has been brutal," he said.
Once temperatures warm up and contractors have solved the boulder issues, Ward said, the company will begin a public-education push as natural-gas service is established.
The biggest issue will be teaching people the proper steps to take if they smell the odor additive the company uses to help detect a leak or other problems with the pipeline system, he said.
Ward said Malone will be hooked up first, the state prisons will be brought online next, and Alice Hyde Medical Center will be right behind. Priority then goes to the Agri-Mark McCadam Cheese plant in Chateaugay.
The goal is to have 657 customers using natural gas by the end of 2014.
"We've laid 70,000 feet of the distribution line in Franklin County, and we're planning to get users on as soon as the pipeline is ready," Ward said. "We're very anxious to get revenue flowing."

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Ricky Byrd
by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Nov.01, 2011, under Home
Ricky Byrd Songwriter and Guitarist
Buy Tickets @ http://www.12stepmusicfest.com
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Ricky Byrd's new CD which he describes as "one part acoustic soul, one part rock n roll" -marks quite a departure from his days with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Byrd is still rail-thin, still has the haystack of hair and a truckload of attitude, but maturity has served to deepen and expand his talent. Byrd says that the work on his latest project with producer Ray Kennedy "is a natural progression. I went back to the college of musical knowledge, listening to the songs that still, to this day, raise the hair on my arms. Digging deep, trying to find the secret ingredient, studying the craft of songwriting. Now I feel like I've got a pretty cool batch of my own songs and I'm ready to show them to the world."
Billboard described Byrd's last effort, a limited edition live CD called, with typical Byrd-esque humor, "Tough Room…This World": For many, Ricky Byrd needs no introduction. For others, a brief step back in time may be needed. After…Byrd parted ways with the Blackhearts (he) found himself collaborating with the likes of Roger Daltrey (and) Ian Hunter. Apparently, others discovered what Jett had known all along: Byrd is one accomplished musician, singer and songwriter." In fact, Jett and Daltrey (on his solo release "Rocks In The Head") are among the many artists who have cut covers of Byrd's material he's had over 45 of his songs recorded by others — and his music has also been featured on television and in films.
Rockers In Recovery Host John Hollis said during his interview with Ricky Byrd "Folks I just listened to the mastered version of the song it went right to the heart and had us all in tears. "Broken Is A Place" will touch many people and help many people find a new way of life".
"Broken Is A Place"- the new song written by Ricky Byrd/Richie Supa ,Co produced by Ricky Byrd/Bob Stander, Drums: Shawn Murray, Bass: Bob Stander, Guitars: Ricky Byrd Vocals: Ricky Byrd, Keyboards: Richie Supa, Mixed: Bob Stander, Mastered: Ray Kennedy in Nashville.
"Broken Is A Place" is a must for any download collection. Ricky went to a place only one who has been there can write about and though this song can let others know change is possible.
Ricky Byrd Bio:
Lotta dues Jim, Lotta dues
That's a line from a play about Lenny Bruce, and man oh man ain't that the truth!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining! I've had an unbelievable career so far and I'm very grateful.
Imagine a 13 year old sitting in his bedroom with his first guitar that "almost" stays in tune. He's dreaming big dreams, hoping someday……you know the rest!
Well I got my wish. I've traveled the world with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, had a couple of hit records and played guitar for two of my favorites–Roger Daltrey and Ian Hunter. I've also had the damn good fortune to have shared a stage with everyone from Jimmy Page, Leslie West, Steve Marriott to Rufus Thomas (I got to "Walk the Dog")
I've had artists who I love and respect cover songs I've written ,and even got to decorate a wall in Byrdland with a few gold and platinum records.
Nice huh?
Problem is I'm not the kind that can rest on my laurels (you know how painful that can be!).
This is now and now I'm a solo artist–playing my songs, making my music and fighting my battles!
To be honest I'm feeling a little punchy from all the fighting.
But I promise you this…they''ll have to carry me out of the ring still swingin' and still singin'.
Let's face it the music business (what's left of it) is not for the faint of heart. it can break your spirit and leave you bitter."It was you Charlie…you shoulda watched out for me. I coulda been a contender!"
Sorry, I had a Brando moment!.
Anyway as the saying goes… you buttered your bread now you gotta sleep in it…or something like that.
Where was I? Oh yeah
These days I have no illusions or expectations other than making the coolest music I can and have fun doing it.
So keep your eyes and ears open cause sooner or later I'll be coming to your town. It might be a stadium,a theatre,a club or maybe even a coffeehouse, but you can bet the farm I'll have a big ass grin on my face and be happy to be there.
See you in the trenches, Ricky

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 63 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by llizus Comfortable, but... The hotel is comfortable, you get a good night sleep, and the price is fine, but be ready not to be able to get your TV working with your computer, game console, or even a cellphone to hear music, because it will not. The box is broken and all I got from the staff was an "I'm sorry, but they are all broken and we can't do anything about it". This was a huge disappointment, since I was expecting to watch a couple Netflix movies on the screen, and listen to some music from my cellphone at night, and I could do none of this, They should forget about their boxes and just enable the TV regular functions for guests to use. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by snoozer309 Nice experience We booked a room at the last minute and were very happy with it. The hotel is new and has a cool modern feel. I was impressed that there was laundry room with washer & dryer on our floor. I've never seen that in a nice hotel before. It was a very comfortable experience, and I would book with this brand again. August 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Soccer4 This hotel has great staff and is overall a nice place to stay. The front desk staff were all very nice and helpful with directions, places to eat and things to do around town. They were very accommodating to our needs and requests. The lobby furniture was a little dirty but I am not sure if that was because it was a very busy weekend for the hotel or if it is just not kept up very well. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again if ever in the same area. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Frothy Reunion weekend great staff, great hotel , close to two retail centers and public transportation to downtown and boulder very easily accessible ! always a good stay! also if you drove not far to the foothills August 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kp1408 Expected something more Surprised to find no USB outlets in the rooms. With Ironman Boulder weekend, the front desk had no idea what was going on that Sunday morning and why so many people were up early asking for the complimentary coffee. He only said that the coffee didn't come out until some specific time. I would expect the hotel to have knowledge of local events and show support of event and guests by setting out the coffee early, regardless of what the typical set up time was. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dbiwwu Nice experience Very pleased by the quality of bed and lobby area August 8, 2014

This is my mom's signature lamb recipe, the marinade is quite simple, onion, lemon juice, herbs and spices, not only it tenderizes the meat but it also makes it especially tasty. Roasted leg of lamb is an ideal dish to make for company because it only takes minutes to prepare the marinade and all you need to do is to put it in a preheated oven and wait for it to be ready while you take care of other things. I don't bother making gravy to go with it; I simply skim off the fat of the juices from the roasting pan. I served this with a pomegranate, walnut and scallion salad.
- 1 leg of lamb
- 1 large yellow onion
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2-3 rosemary sprigs
- 3-4 thyme sprigs
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2-3 pounds nugget potatoes
- 10 whole garlic cloves
- 1-2 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3-4 fresh thyme sprigs
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
To make the marinade, grate the onion with a box grater or chop it very finely in a food processor, mix in the rest of the ingredients except for the salt and let the lamb marinate for a few hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
For a medium rare to medium leg of lamb, place a rack on large roasting pan, season generously with salt, put the leg of lamb with the fat side up and bake for about 2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 135-140F. Transfer the leg of lamb to a serving platter, tent with a piece of aluminum paper while the potatoes are browning.
For a fork tender, fall of the bone leg of lamb, marinate the lamb as above, season with salt and use either an oven bag or cover the lamb first with parchment paper and then with aluminum foil, bake for 2 ½ – 3 hours or until the leg of lamb is golden brown and has a nice, crisp crust. Open the bag; transfer the leg of lamb to a serving platter, tent with a piece of aluminum paper while the potatoes are browning. Pour the juices to a small saucepan, skim off the fat and keep it warm until ready to serve.
For the roasted potatoes, start roasting 10-15 minutes before the lamb is done. Halve or quarter the potatoes depending on their size, remove the stems of the rosemary and the thyme, mix with the potatoes and garlic, season liberally with salt and pepper and pour a little olive oil, mix well and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes; increase the oven temperature to 450F after removing the lamb from the oven and continue baking until golden.
Put the potatoes around the lamb in the serving platter and serve immediately.

A new phone app is honoring some of Vermont's unsung heroes.
Some people spend their days tapping away on an iPhone, others spend it tapping their cows for their latest milk, but today those two worlds have come together -- sort of.
The lastest iPhone app, Reward Volunteers, created by The Cabot Coop and a social media entrepreneurs, is looking to reward those who go above and beyond for good causes in their communities.
"Volunteers can log their time, in order to earn rewards for themselves, and for the organizations that they serve," says Jen Neary with Cabot.
Farmers may be the last group of people you would expect to see carrying an iPhone, but the folks at Cabot say their farmers are the reason they followed through with creating the app.
"Our farmers they volunteer in their communities, they are local firefighters, they drive school buses, they are in their communities volunteering. We wanted to be able to honor that," Neary says.
Here is how it works:
"I say I volunteered for two hours, hit a button, and it asks me to post of my Facebook page, and email to my friends," she says. "The more likes and the more email opens the more chances that you have to win that prize for yourself and your organization."
The people who log the most hours and get the most interaction with their friends through the application could win big prizes including up to $3,000 for themselves and their organization, as well as care packages from Vermont retailers or even an Alaskan Cruise.
"I would say I am pretty shamless when it comes to raising money and talking about my volunteer experience," says COTS Volunteer Coordinator Nicole Marshall.
Nicole Marshall has been volunteering her time at COTS in Burlington since 2005. She says people use Facebook to post about everything else in their life and hopes this application can help spread the word and inspire more volunteers.
"I think to be able to promote volunteer hours through it is just another layer of Facebook," she says. "It is going to be one more way to reach an audience to tell people what you are doing, and tell people what you are passionate about."
But many people who volunteer their time chose to keep that private, and may argue that this app is tooting their own horn.
"There is a humility piece to it, and I think a lot of people who are prone to volunteering are also people who do not necessarily need a lot of praise because they are motivated from their heart," Marshall says.
"We really want people to sacrifice their humbleness and spread the word about volunteerism," Neary says.
You have the chance to qualify for the $3,000 once every month for the next 5 months and it's available to any volunteer nationwide.
The app is currently only set up to work through the next 5 months, but developers say they are working on Phase 2. If you do not have an iPhone you can still participate by going through their website -- rewardvolunteers.coop.

The Bad: Getzlaf is on track for ten goals, and Niedermeyer having his worst full season in six years.
The Weird: Giguere is insistent that he be the starter, or he's going to retire. Which begs the question "Is $6.5 million enough to pay for a starter with a .900 save percentage?"
The Future: Currently the worst team in the West, and it's hard to picture the Ducks staying there, but who are they going to knock aside? A bottom five finish is likely.
Note: I know I said that the biggest loss last off season was Pronger, but with the increase in goals against over last year, it may have been goalie coach Francois Allaire.
The Good: Kiprusoff's weak start in October has been covered by an astounding start from Rene Borque.
The Bad: The entire team may now have a sudden aversion to needles…
The Weird: Criminal mug shot or 1st line centre? (Well, 2nd line centre at this point.)
The Future: The same problem as ever - depth in scoring. Unless Jokinen can pick up his scoring, the Flames are going to hit a wall come the playoffs, if they make it.
Note: Sutter and Phaneuf apparently had themselves a shouting match after the Colorado loss, which should surprise exactly no one: Sutter is one of the most demanding coaches in the game, and one reason to looks for Calgary to avoid last year's late meltdown.
The Good: Fans bringing noise every game and the best penalty kill in the league.
The Bad: Losing Bolland for half a season cuts into their depth, but not much more than that.
The Weird: If rumours of long-term contracts for Kane, Toews and Keith are accurate, then they are going to be so far over the cap they'll need oxygen. A change is gonna' come.
The Future: They haven't had to add Hossa's salary just yet, which is both good and bad; Niemi and Crawford are both goalies under NHL contracts for far less than Huet's getting. See where this is going?
Note: Huet is on pace for 60 games, so it looks like Chicago is pacing his play for the season. Reasonable, given he's never played more than 52 games in a season, and that only once; unreasonable, given he's being paid over $5.5 million for this and two more seasons.
The Good: A team that had most predicting a last-place finish is first in their division. What hasn't been good for this team?
The Bad: Budaj, for one (bouts with the flu notwithstanding). The same caveat that was in place at the beginning of the season still holds - how many games can Anderson play? Because he's on pace for 45 more than he's ever done before.
The Weird: The fact that they're first in the Northwest is plenty weird, thanks.
The Future: Six players on the big club still have entry level contracts, and they're doing quite well with them, thank you. Even if they slip to .500 the rest of the season, they'll be making a strong push for the playoffs. More likely is the peaks/valleys season young teams tend to have.
Note: The Avs are setting themselves up for a pretty clean slate to work with next season, having nine players going to free agency. If their improvement continues, they'll be moving up on the list of free agent destinations in the off season.
The Good: The offense has, for the most part, been holding up; Nash is running hard for his first 80+ point season.
The Bad: A lot of that was because of a strong power play; at even strength and on the kill, this hasn't been a strong team.
The Weird: A solid power play and weak penalty kill has the team +/- a ludicrous -31, despite their position in the standings.
The Future: Filatov being sent to his hometown team (Moscow CSKA) to develop for another year has some fans up in arms, picking sides between him (lazy, floating Zherdev clone!) or coach Hitchcock (jingoistic, egotistical thug-lover!), but it's the best move. He'll mature another year in familiar surroundings, and next season be better prepared for what Hitchcock wants. And Hitchcock will be spared an aneurism from Filatov's weak defense.
Note: Something is going to have to improve, and quickly, for this team to get to the playoffs again. If Steve Mason can recapture last year's form before Garon takes his starting job away permanently, so much the better.
The Good: Turco has come roaring back from last year's aberrant season (.920 save percentage this year compared to .898 last year).
The Bad: Winning the Fabian Brunnstrom lottery last year is looking less and less like a good thing.
The Weird: Two players from Prince Edward Island are major components of this team. No, seriously.
The Future: Someone other than Robidas has got to take on an offensive role on the blue line or they risk being one injury away from a pop-gun power play (which is currently 21st in the league).
Note: Still playing $2 million in cap space for Avery. You can be sure Niewendyk thanks Brett Hull every night.
The Good: By only having 10 wins in their first 18 games, the Wings have decided to let other, lesser teams think they have a chance to catch up this year.
The Bad: Franzen having major knee surgery three games into an 11-year, $43 million contract.
The Weird: Holmstrom hit 8 goals before anyone else on the team managed 4.
The Future: Osgood and Howard are sharing the goal this year, with indifferent results. But there can't be anyone left who questions Osgood during the regular season any more, can there? No one in Detroit does, any way.
Note: This year is a changing of the guard in a measured way; next season is looming bigger with eight unrestricted free agents, including defensive automaton Lidstrom.
The Good: Penner has finally emerged as the scoring threat everyone predicted.
The Bad: Gagner, Horcoff, Cogliano all seem determined NOT to be the scoring threats everyone predicted.
The Weird: When a goalie has a .910 save percentage, he's not supposed to also have a 3.03 goals against average. Edmonton is allowing too many shots against.
The Future: First year with a new coach (or two), so there's going to be some transition period; but it's not looking good when offensive players don't respond to a more offensive game plan.
Note: If one coach goes, does the other follow?
The Good: Doughty looks like his massive upside is going to appear before the more-vaunted Johnson's.
The Bad: Speaking of whom, it looks like this is going to be another "development" season for the 3rd pick overall from 2005.
The Weird: In further proof of the screwed-up relationship between the NHL and Olympics, the league's highest scorer won't be in Vancouver for the games. Ask Denmark how they'd feel adding three NHL players in the qualifying tournament…
The Future: After years of being a favourite "dark horse" candidate for a breakout season, it looks like they have finally made the transition from potential to playoffs.
Note: The Bad was a toss-up between Johnson's continued struggles and Smyth going down to a long-term injury; so now we'll see if Smyth's work ethic (and identity) is going to stay with the team in his absence.
The Good: Koivu is continuing to play a bigger offensive role with the team
The Bad: Replacing your scoring star with someone who suffers an 11-game goalless streak is not going to endear fans to your "new, more aggressive playing style".
The Weird: The Wild have given up 5 short handed goals so far; they gave up 6 in all of last season.
The Future: It looks like Bouchard may have finished his career, having played 10:44 of this season before the effects of a concussion from last season took him off the ice again.
Note: Another "transition team", looking to alter their playing style. So far, the results haven't been there, and the coach may not be soon, either.
The Good: Webber keeps a hot hand with 5 goals in just 17 games.
The Bad: Nineteen games in, and Webber is your leading goal scorer.
The Weird: J.P. Dumont is their leading scorer. Not really a surprise until you see he's missed a third of the Predator's games.
The Future: As much as it pains me to say, without some scoring help - and soon - this could be Trotz' last season as coach.
Note: Nashville is a perpetually cash-strapped team, so the free agent market isn't where to look for help. Their biggest asset is their (very) young skilled defensemen and the potentially-valuable Radulov contract. It's unlikely anyone is going to take the contracts of underperforming Arnott, Erat or Legwand.
The Good: Bryzgalov and Jovanovski are having phenomenal starts.
The Bad: Okay, we can finally stop talking about the off-ice nonsense, right? Right? Please?
The Weird: Describing injuries as "upper body" or "lower body". I know you want the playoffs, but wait until you get there before the cryptic descriptions, eh?
The Future: Whatever having two players signed past next season tells you.
Note: Don't need to say that a lot is riding on this season - the playoffs are free money for teams (as far as salaries go), and a series or two would do a lot to enhance the stability of the team as a whole. Right up until the next lockout.
The Good: Mason and Conklin have been playing lights out this season.
The Bad: The offence has not. Kariya is costing about $1 million per point so far.
The Weird: They're currently sitting on eight healthy defensemen; but given last season's injury record, it would be understandable if they kept them all.
The Future: A lot of young players that the Blues were counting on to make a step up have failed, outside the goaltenders. They've been great, but until they can score this team is not going to the post-season.
Note: St. Louis has been tending to incentive-laden contracts, but those haven't been producing the results they want. Object lesson or aberration?
The Good: Ho, hum. Another season with four players near or over a point-a-game pace (five if you include Pavelski's eight games), fantastic special teams, and rock solid goaltending.
The Bad: It's not the playoffs.
The Weird: How is "Jed Ortmeyer" not playing with Nashville? C'mon! The guy's name is JED!
The Future: Let's face it, this team is all about the playoffs and nothing but. In Puck Daddy's recent "10 Biggest Hockey Upsets of the 2000's" post, not one of the Shark's first or second round exits is mentioned. It's just to be expected now, apparently.
Note: Marleau is in the last year of his contract, along with nine other players. With another early playoff exit, where will the blame go? Will there be any pressure to re-sign players, or more noise to throw it out and start over?
The Good: Raycroft (yes, that Raycroft) picking up 4 wins while starting six games during Luongo's injury. A 2.19 goals against and .920 save percentage were not what was expected.
The Bad: The much-vaunted scoring from the defense hasn't yet materialized.
The Weird: But… There's only one Sedin! How is that possible?
The Future: If the Canucks are going to insist on being the most penalized team in the league, they better improve on that bottom-ten penalty killing percentage or it's going to bite them hard.
Note: St. Salo of the Perpetual Injury came back earlier than expected from his first layoff of the season, but his offence hasn't.
Okay, that'll do for another 20 games. The stretch to make Olympic teams is officially on!

Diner Reviews
it was our second time there. We
went on the spur of the moment. Our brother was visiting with us from out of state and he was impressed with the entree's. The creme brûlée was to live for. Our server made our dining experience very pleasurable."
Dined on 8/9/2014
There was nothing particularly
notable about this restaurant, good or bad. The weather was sunny but threatening rain, so we were seated by a large open window (I believe they do have outdoor seating as well), which was very pleasant. The waitress was friendly and timed our meal well. The food was good but not exceptional. I would visit again if we were in the neighborhood, but wouldn't travel to go here."
Dined on 8/2/2014
We dine at The Mad Greek often.
They have the best baba ghanouj and the Bombay wings are delightfully spicy. However this past visit the samosas on the Indian App Sampler were served frozen! The outer shell was barely warm and the interior was a ball of ice. It was difficult to determine the problem at first since we ate them covered in all of the spicy dipping sauces, so it was tough to distinguish between the cold and spicy sensation on the tongue. I brought this to the attention of our server (I still had a ball of frozen samosa filling on my plate) and she said she would tell the kitchen, but did not offer to bring new samosas nor compensate us for the uncooked food. I expected a better resolution from this level of restaurant."

We love the Mad Greek. It never
disappoints in terms of food quality or service. The baklava is the best."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Great Food and service, nice
atmosphere. We enjoyed the view of Cedar and the weather was beautiful."
Dined on 7/2/2014
Our meal was tasty but the slow
service and very loud bar patrons took away from the positive experience."
Dined on 6/30/2014
Great Greek food. Everyone in the
party liked it. Gyro platter was the best."
Dined on 6/14/2014
There is a lovely patio on the
back of the restaurant that is landscaped with trees and a waterfall that make the ambience truly wonderful. The sun was a problem when we first arrived but changing tables solved that problem. The food was wonderful and hot when served. Our waiter was a little slow but for a relaxing evening that is not a bad thing. We would definitely come back and we put this restaurant on our list of favorites."
Dined on 5/31/2014
We made reservations for a group
of 11 to sit outisde on a SUnday afternoon. The service was great! The backyard patio was quiet and + lovely. Kids were welcomed and encouraged. We've been going to the Mad Greek for 20+ years and will continue to go for a great meal out!"
Dined on 5/11/2014
I was so happy to get the
Restaurants.com coupon for this place. I was very impressed with how delicious everything tasted. The french fries were unique and delicious, the hummus was superb, and the falafel was to die for. I will definitely come back to this restaurant in the future."
Dined on 5/10/2014
Ran out of characters to leave
proper review. Lived in GR. have eaten in many GR rest in US. This is by far the worst. Cold saganaki even after lit. Too much garlic and dill in tzadziki. Chicken souvlaki poor not Greek spices. Wet pita. Fries not as advertised. Baked fried tons of salt. Overpriced poor quality. Wife had strir fry 16$ Box uncle bens rice and $2 worth of veggies zero flavor. An embarrassment of a Greek restaurant."
Dined on 4/4/2014
I hadn't been here since I lived
in Cleveland over 20 years ago. The Mad Greek was one of my favorite restaurants back then and I was very happy to see that nothing has changed. The menu is pretty much identical and the quality of food as always was superb."
Dined on 4/3/2014
The food and selection were
fantastic. The floors were sticky to walk on"
Dined on 3/29/2014
I had dined at The Mad Greek many
years ago. I used to travel a lot on business and would get my fix for Greek food in Chicago. Since I dont travel as much for work, I have been wanting a Greek "fix". I had an entertainment coupon and convinced my wife to take the ride to Cleveland Hts. Appetizer - Dolomades was wrapped nice and tight with a beautiful presentation topped with an tasty sauce that had a slightly sweet finish. The Mousaka I enjoyed was cooked well with no crusty edges. The eggplant was not mushy like you will often find in mousaka. The wife's kaserri stuffed chick was cooked to perfection. Juicy, tender and flavorful.This was the first time in years, that my wife looked at me after dinner and said When can we come back?"
Dined on 3/15/2014
Visit was the first in a long
time. Food was good and traditionally Greek. Service was good. Atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. A very good overall experience. We will be back."
Dined on 3/15/2014
This place was amazing, we took my
husbands parents here for dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh and hot when it was served. The service was fantastic, our drinks were always full and she kept our table spotless. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I will definitely return!"
Dined on 2/23/2014
We have eaten at the Mad Greek for
about 30 years. Always good in every way."
Dined on 2/14/2014
enjoyable evening. food was tasty
and interesting. Drinks were terrific, not many places pour full shots, so mad greek is definitely special. service was friendly and knowledgeable."
Dined on 2/8/2014
The menu is great- a blend of
Greek and Indian food. They have both a Greek and Indian sampler appetizer which I highly recommend- especially if you are unfamiliar with these types of food. The drinks are pricey- be forewarned. We had a Groupon so all of our food- 2 appetizers, 4 salads, 4 entrees and 2 desserts were paid for. We had a total of 7 alcoholic beverages and our bill was almost 80 dollars. Without the groupon it would have been well over 200. I really like the food because it is hard to find well made Greek food around here, but for the same price we could have gone across the street to Nighttown and had a better meal with WAY better service. While polite our server was so slow. Spicy food + empty water glasses = bad."
Dined on 2/7/2014
We were very disappointed with The
Mad Greek. We sat and waited at least 10 minutes before our server even acknowledged us. I found him to be unfriendly and felt we were burdening him by our presence and questions. I was brought a half filled wine glass instead of the martini glass you would expect a martini to be served in. I was told they ran out of martini glasses. The restaurant wasn't even close to half full and I looked in the bar area before walking in and it wasn't full there either. It was foul tasting and way over proved, especially for the amount I was given. The salads and appetizers were ok but our dinners were bland and the servings were pretty small. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Mad greek has consistently good
service and good food."
Dined on 1/31/2014
The Greek and Indian dishes are
all wonderful, and portion sizes are generous!"
Dined on 1/26/2014
While dining at the Mad Greek, we
tried several of the appetizers, and were absolutely DELICIOUS! Dinner entrees were just as amazing. Will definitely be going back! Only problem is the restaurant's location. The area is very confusing."
Dined on 1/18/2014
6 friends met for dinner and
conversation and were pleased overall. Service was slow at the beginning and waitress got a couple things confused. Food was well-prepared and reasonably priced. Wine prices were high relarive to food prices."
Dined on 1/11/2014
We had a reservation for 6 and our
table was waiting when we arrived. Our waiter was very friendly, very helpful with suggestions, and very attentive. We ordered two appetizers for the table - the coconut shrimp and the vegetarian sampler. Everything was delicious. Nice and hot and very tasty. We all had something different for our dinners and everyone was raving about their choices. We had a couple bottles of wine which was very moderately priced yet delicious. We really had a great time and would recommend this to our friends and family."
Dined on 12/21/2013
It has been almost 25 years since
I left and returned to Cleveland. I enjoyed going to the Mad Greek weekly when I was at the Cleveland Clinic. It was great to see that the food and service is still excellent."
Dined on 12/15/2013
The food here was amazing. I try
to eat healthy when I go out and this place had a lot to choose from. Our waitress was wonderful! She took very good care of us although I felt bad for her because she had to continuously go up and down steps all night long. I ordered an Indian dish where you pick the amount of spicy ness. I was told that a 1 was mild and a 7 is fiery very hot. I chose a 4 but it wasn't spicy at all so if you like spicy ness go for a 6! But overall, I highly recommend this place."
Dined on 12/7/2013
We were In from out of town and
randomly picked the Mad Greek looking for some authentic Greek food and I'm happy to report they did not disappoint! First, you better be hungry, the portions are enormous, if you leave there hungry it's your own fault! Wine selection was limited but excellent choices...great service. Will definitely be back next time we are in Cleveland."
Dined on 12/2/2013
I love the options at the Mad
Greek. It's always hard to decide between Indian and Greek - there are so many things to try. The food is always wonderful too. My only complaint is that the portions are a bit small for the price - never any leftovers. They could work on their wine list as well."
Dined on 11/23/2013
It was very tasty and I would go
back again very soon!!!"
Dined on 11/22/2013
Although this restaurant is
somewhat pricey, The Mad Greek has outstanding food. The value is reasonable if a coupon is used, especially since the amount of food that served leaves enough for leftovers. Be careful with the Baklava Ice Cream, as it is dangerously delicious and not quite as healthy as other menu options!"
Dined on 11/17/2013
My husband and I try to frequent
only independent resturants and have always enjoyed the character of Mad Greek. Love sitting in the bar when the outside wall is open and you can people watch!"
Dined on 10/25/2013
Menu was reasonably priced, but I
was not overly impressed with its quality. Food did not taste authentic, but did seem to be made from scratch.Worth a try, but not a keeper."
Dined on 10/25/2013
After our last 2 really bad
experiences (food and service) we decided to try once again. We were pleased that the food was excellent--back to their old standards when Loki was there."
Dined on 10/24/2013
The food is fabulous and the
serving size is enormous. The service was a little slow."
Dined on 10/18/2013
Although the food was good, the
service was horrible. Our waitress never checked on us, she walked past us so many times like we weren't even sitting there. We set for long periods of time without refills. The service was just awful and the restaurant wasn't even busy! I wouldn't return on the service alone."
Dined on 9/28/2013
Is this restaurant going out of
business? They were out of at least 5 things on the menu and then they were out of vanilla ice cream making most desserts unavailable, too. We started out ordering saganaki, which wasn't available, then moussaka, and so it went. I did finally settle on a sandwich, which was not made the way I was told it would be. Also, Instead of being on pita it was on an ordinary bun and then they charged me for a piece of pita. On our previous visit my meal was missing one of the key ingredients and our waiter never brought it despite requesting it several times. My husband had finished his meal and I still hadn't had anything to eat, but we told them to forget it because I didn't want to wait any longer."
Dined on 9/22/2013
The first time we dined here
within the last 6 months, it was incredible! Food was excellent for all 4 of us and the service and the overall experience was wonderful! 2nd time just last week, not so much! The greek appetizer was very good. Our wives ordered Greek and they really enjoyed their food but it was all downhill from there. I ordered my Indian dish very light on the heat and my friend ordered his medium. Both of our dishes were served to us almost on fire. When we asked for a cup or so of rice to soak up the heat, our waiter said he would have to charge us for the extra rice per management. Yes, you heard right! Then, our coffee was cold and burned and the souffle came out as hard as a rock as we were stabbing it with our forks."
Dined on 9/22/2013
The outdoor ambience was very nice
however our server immediately ruined it. He couldn't answer any questions about the menu and blatantly stated that his job as a waiter was the last thing on his mind. The appetizers were decent but the entrees tasted as if they had been sitting around and microwaved. I ate only one bite. The vegetables on the salad tasted like they were going bad. This establishment is obviously run very poorly without good management. I will not return."
Dined on 9/12/2013
Keftethes were like little rocks,
lamb was over cooked, service was slow! Definitely would not recommend it to anyone and I'm not going back!"

Nights from the Alhambra is an enchanting musical performance, set beneath the stars in the breathtaking Moorish heart of medieval Spain. Captured live in September 2006, singer/composer Loreena McKennitt – in her first in-concert television special - leads viewers through the multi-textured landscapes of her catalogue, from traditional Celtic ballads to literary narratives and highlights from her most recent recording, An Ancient Muse.
From August 2007, Nights from the Alhambra will be available in stores worldwide as a deluxe three-disc set comprising a 99-minute DVD and two companion CDs with a combined running time of 94 minutes. Both the DVD and the audio-only CDs present performances of 18 of Loreena's best-loved songs, including "The Mummers' Dance", "Caravanserai", "The Mystic's Dream" and "The Lady Of Shalott", performed by Loreena and a host of musical colleagues.
The live concert performances captured in Nights from the Alhambra were first seen in the TV special of the same name in PBS's "Great Performances" series. This programme began airing in the United States in March 2007.
In the spring of 2007, a version of the DVD/CD set Nights from the Alhambra was sold exclusively during Loreena McKennitt's European and North American tours. This "tour exclusive" version of Nights from the Alhambra featured different artwork on the outer packaging, but it included the same content as the later commercial release.
