Looking for good chow near Spa Castle in College Point
- the Sparrow Jan 8, 2010 12:25 PM
My husband and I love going to Spa Castle in College Point but the food there is beyond pitiful. Can anyone recommend some nearby joints that we coudl swing by on the way home after a day in the hot tubs?
Here is a link to some places. The old Five Corners is now an Irish Pub called Merseyside. I haven't been there yet.
The Merseyside Pub
13-46 127th St, Queens, NY 11356
re: johnk
we tried the Merseyside using a Restaurant.com coupon - it was horrible!
We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday night- to find the chef hanging at the bar - thank god - customers - you're my first ones all day - uhh oh!
very greasy pubgrub..... they altered our orders because they ran out of a few things - w/out even asking us
10 minutes away in Whitestone, Queens...VESUVIO OF WHITESTONE..149th Street & 12th Avenue..718 767 4730 for exceptional Italian food...also 10 minutes or so away in Flushing is MAGNA MODERN ITALIAN in the MARCO HOTEL on Farrington Street right off of Northern Blvd...PArking is easy at VESUVIO but tougher at MAGNA....but the food at MAGNA is lighter for a post spa meal....there is a parking lot next door if you cannot snag an empty spot on Northern or Farrington....and of course there are many options in Flushing Chinatown..and two dependable Japanese/Sushi places in Whitestone

re: rogue3
I will not go to Akiyama anymore. Although their sushi is delicious but they are not honest and disloyal to their customers. They charge you on everything. Even on the soup and salad that you're supposed to get with the entree. Haven't said that, I will not spend another penny in that place ever again.
Five Guys is in the shopping center right down the street from Spa Castle. Or, you could drive into Whitestone Village and eat at Tasty Grill (Greek food), Villagio (Italian), or Vesuvio (Italian). Cascarinos College Point and Cascarinos Whitestone are also both not far from Spa Castle.
14-60 College Point Blvd, Queens, NY 11356
150-07 14th Rd, Queens, NY 11357
Tasty Grill

Good spicy Sichuan food, Little Pepper in College Point http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/766257
By coincidence, I had lunch in College Point yesterday. Took my family to try out The Buffet (http://thebuffet-ny.com/index.php) for the first time. We were very pleased with the experience.
First of all, the dining room was nice. Lots of windows and spacious. Everything was very clean.
Food was on par with Harvest Buffet and Minado. I'm not a sushi connosieur but I enjoyed the few pieces of sushi that I tried. There were also slices of red snapper and salmon, along with raw oysters and boiled shrimp. The hot food section had the usual suspects. I didn't try everything but my favorites were the fish balls, flounder fillet, black chicken soup, and chocolate fountain. Their web site lists a lot of dishes under the menu section. That must be a list of rotating dishes because their serving area does not have room for all the listed dishes.
Also, the meal includes free drinks. I had a made to order taro bubble tea that was very good. And they have a cotton candy machine which delighted all the kids there.

More in Floors
To find the square footage you need, multiply the width of the room by its length. Allow 10-15 percent extra for irregular boards and mistakes. To prevent warping and gaps, the flooring needs at least 48 hours in the room to adjust to the temperature and humidity. Start by stapling vapor-barrier paper to the sub-flooring. Allow at least a 4-inch overlap on the vapor barrier paper. If the subflooring squeaks, screw a long drywall screw into the subfloor and joist where the squeak is located.
For a solid anchor, boards should be laid perpendicular to the floor joists. Lay out the boards in a dry run to get right the pattern of shading and random length. The first row should be face-nailed into the floor joists.
Leave a 3/8-inch gap along the wall to allow for expansion. Then, the boards can be secured with a flooring pneumatic nail gun. The pneumatic flooring package can be rented from a rental center for approximately $50 per day. Make sure you get the staples and nails that fit the particular gun you are using because they are all different. Brazilian teak is 80 percent harder than oak and you will have a hard time getting the nails through the tongue and you also risk missing and damaging the flooring. The pneumatic tool gets the staples in at a precise 50-degree angle through the tongue. The staples will be covered up by the next piece that comes in.
Nails go through the tongue every 10 to 12 inches and the groove is then tapped to ensure the boards stay and fit snug. Stagger boards at least 6 inches to prevent an awkward alignment of end joints. If the gap for the last board is narrower than the board, cut the board lengthwise to fit the space.
All fields are required.

From the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
-- Maine has allocated 10 moose hunting permits to disabled veterans to participate in the controlled moose hunt in Aroostook County Sept.14 - 23.
To qualify, a Maine veteran must have the State of Maine Disabled Veterans Hunting License issued by MDIF&W. All in-state applications will be placed in a lottery and the drawing for seven permits will take place on July 15. Three permits will be given to non-resident Wounded Warriors who will join Maine's disabled veterans in this year's disabled veterans' moose hunt.
Last year, disabled veterans who were awarded permits were 100 percent successful in getting a moose with the help of guides. Dave Hentosh of Smoldering Lake Outfitters and Paul House of House in the Woods Military and Family Retreat in Lee and their friends will return this year as guides for the disabled veterans.
The application for the lottery can be found on the MDIF&W and Bureau of Veterans Services websites. Veterans who cannot access the application online can call Maine Veterans' Services at (207)430-6035 to receive application by mail. All applications must be received by Maine Veterans' Services by July 8.
A disabled veteran who receives a regular moose permit for the 2011 regular moose season is not eligible for this controlled moose hunt. More information about the controlled moose hunt can be found online at http://www.maine.gov/ifw/licenses_permits/lotteries/moose/index.htm.
Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the Maine Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management sponsor the hunt.

The first time John Warren walked into the old Pointer Brothers store in the Guinea section of Gloucester, he felt like he'd stumbled into something special.
Though the original sales and display area on the first floor had been cut up by a maze of later walls - and the large opening in the center of second-floor mezzanine had been boarded shut - he still saw such evocative signs of the landmark building's 105-year past that he couldn't help thinking about its potential.
Less than half a year later, Warren and his wife, Heidi, have set up shop in a largely reborn, architecturally eye-grabbing space that they hope will regain its former place as a hub of daily life in the surrounding, still mostly rural community.
Part frame shop, part gift shop and part recreated general store, their experiment in historic preservation and modern-day business is still a work in progress, he says.
But after weeks of renovation and a busy May 2 opening, the steady stream of curious residents who've stopped by on their way down old Guinea Road has given them plenty of reasons to feel hopeful.
"This is just such an incredible building. Where can you find a retail location where the building itself is such an important draw?" says Warren, who moved to Gloucester from Suffolk last year.
"And something else we're finding out about is the sense of history and ownership that the local folks have with this store. We want to encourage that. It's a responsibility. And we want to give them plenty of reasons to come in and hang out."
Constructed in 1904, the Pointer Brothers store was just one of many general stores that dotted the rural countryside of Gloucester between the town of Hayes on the main highway and - as the local describe it - the "Big Circle" of roads that loops around the low-lying neck of tidal land known as Guinea.
But located at one of the most important crossroads in this out-of-the-way neighborhood, it soon became a thriving business as well as a prominent gathering place. Even after the doors closed for the day, farmers, watermen and other residents would gather here from miles around to talk on the porch or play dominoes.
Like many other country stores in the Tidewater region of Virginia and North Carolina, it featured an open display and sales space on the first floor and an open mezzanine or gallery that ran all the way around the inside of the second.
An impressive staircase in the rear of the room provided access to the mezzanine, while a big pot-bellied stove stood in the middle. Tall shelves packed with dry goods lined the wall to the left, says Mary Harris, 94, who grew up just a hundred yards from the store. Canned goods and groceries filled the big banks of shelves to the right, rising up just behind a well-stocked candy counter.
In the back of the store, the Pointers kept a refrigerated meat case - a rarity in the days before public electricity came to Guinea.
"They were more up-to-date than some other stores," Harris says, describing the Pointers' pioneering Delco generator. "But they had a lot of old-fashioned things, too.
"Mr. Pointer had a lot of horse harnesses and collars hanging over the rail of that second floor. He called it his 'mule millinery.' And that always tickled me as a child."
Personal service was a routine part of shopping at the store - and not just because it reflected the customs of a bygone era.
"When you'd walk in, you'd give them your list," says Bill Jenkins, who grew up in Hayes but made many trips down Guinea Road as a child while shopping with his mother. "And they'd walk around with these long, long pickers collecting all the things on your list from the shelves."
The Pointers knew how to treat their customers on special occasions, too, including the birth of Harris' older brother.
"My father went down there right after my brother was born, and they gave him a little pair of boots for the baby," she says. "They were the shortest, smallest, tiniest gum boots that I ever saw."
None of the Pointers' successors could duplicate their long record of success after the last brother died in the early 1950s.

Heidi Warren and her husband John Warren have recently opened their frame shop, Almost Square Picture Framing, in the old Pointer Brothers general store building in the Bena section of Gloucester. They have returned much of the community landmark to what it looks like when it was a store, and they are encouraging locals to come by, have coffee or a soda, and hang out when they want to.

Symptoms of Commitment Phobia
The symptoms of commitment phobia are wide and varied, and are only really limited by the imagination of the commitment phobic person themselves.
Some of the most typical symptoms of commitment phobia involve the commitment to relationships.
Where someone has a fear of committing to relationships, this may happen at the very start of the relationship (or even before), or may develop once the relationship is established
Commitment phobia symptoms often appear as a sudden feeling of uncertainty, and sometimes the feeling of being trapped in the relationship.
In this situation (where the commitment phobic feels the emotional feelings of fear and entrapment), it is often as the result of the partner in the relationship saying that they want to progress the relationship to the next level… "Let's move in together", "let's get engaged", "why don't we try for a baby?"
As already mentioned, there are many, many different ways that commitment phobia can manifest itself, so when we talk about symptoms of commitment phobia, do bear in mind that these are only an indication of the most typical symptoms.
If you are looking for help with commitment phobia, would like to help someone else who has commitment phobia, or would simply like to understand more about how commitment phobia works and where it often comes from, be sure to read about the LifeShaping Commitment Phobia Programme.
Criticism of a Partner
The person with commitment phobia may be extremely critical of their partner, the environment the relationship is in, or of the relationship itself.
Using criticism like this is an unconscious attempt by the person with the commitment phobia to deflect the 'blame' off of themselves onto their partner.
Taking this one stage further, the person with commitment phobia may end up hurting their partner's feelings even when no 'pressure' is being put on them…
Hurting Their Partner
Often, this happens when there isn't any 'pressure' on the commitment phobic… they are just attempting to keep the relationship 'at arms length', even if this means their partner getting hurt.
It can seem like the person with commitment phobia is attempting to sabotage the relationship, even if the relationship itself seems to be perfectly ok.
An example of this would be turning up consistently late for dates or regularly coming home late from work, without offering any reason.
Of course, sometimes commitment phobia can affect the person's behavior even before they enter into a relationship…
Scared of Getting Noticed
Someone with commitment phobia may exhibit behavior very similar to that of someone with 'social phobia', and appear scared to be noticed.
This can mean that the person doesn't go out much, avoids social situations, avoids eye contact, or simply appears 'shy'.
The unconscious motivation behind this of course, is that if the person doesn't meet many people, and then doesn't 'engage' with the people that they do meet, then they are much less likely to fall into the dreaded 'relationship' scenario.
If approached, the person with commitment phobia will often just reject the advances of the other person, so that any potential relationship never really has much of a chance to get going in the first place.
They just protect themselves from others getting too close.
Unrealistic Ideals
The 'distancing themselves from others' technique that we just mentioned however, sometimes isn't enough on its own. It occasionally needs some help from other 'reasons' for the person with commitment phobia to avoid a particular situation.
For example, sometimes the person with commitment phobia will inadvertently find themselves getting closer and closer to someone they've met, without even really noticing it themselves.
Sometimes it's only when the other person seems to want to progress the relationship to the next level that the person with commitment phobia feels the need to 'escape' from the situation.
This is where the commitment phobic person may need to employ other techniques of escape. One such method is the 'unrealistic ideal'.
They may recognize all sorts of positive aspects in their potential partner, but will still find some standard that the person doesn't match up to…
When friends and relatives tell the person with commitment phobia that they're being "too picky" and that 'Mr Right' or 'Miss Right' doesn't exist, the commitment phobic will insist that they do, and they'll find them one day.
The Unavailable Partner – The Affair
One of the most certain ways for the person with commitment phobia to keep a relationship 'at arms length' is to get into a 'safe' relationship.
One way to do this is for the person with commitment phobia to get into a relationship with someone who, for one reason or another is 'unavailable' to them in the long term.
One way of achieving this, is for the commitment phobic to enter into a relationship with a married person, or someone already in a long term relationship. This makes it very unlikely that the person with commitment phobia will then have to face the prospect of that relationship going any further.
In this situation, they are relying on the fact that it is unlikely that the other person will leave their partner to come to be with them on a permanent basis.
If that person does leave their partner of course, that leaves the commitment phobic with a new problem, which may cause them to resort to some of the other techniques talked about here.
Of course, the 'unavailable partner' can be unavailable for different reasons…
The Unavailable Partner – The Long Distance Relationship
The 'long distance relationship' speaks for itself. The commitment phobic who lives in London and their boyfriend/girlfriend lives in Australia for example.
The commitment phobic unconsciously 'knows' that the chances of that person giving up everything to travel half way around the world to be with them is very remote.
Again, the person with commitment phobia is keeping the relationship at a nice distance.
There are of course, many other ways that the person with commitment phobia can form relationships with people who for one reason or another simply aren't available to them for a full scale relationship. The ones we've mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg.
They may just form a relationship with someone they 'know' won't be interested in them in the long term, such as…
The Commitment Phobic Partner
For the commitment phobic person, forming a relationship with another person who also has commitment phobia (the commitment phobic partner) is a pretty safe bet. The chances of those two people getting together in the long term are quite remote… both partners unconsciously 'know' this, and actually, this situation can suit both commitment phobic's.
As they both suffer from commitment phobia, this meets the needs of both people, at least in the short term.
Commitment Phobia and the Long Term Relationship
Of course, everyone is different. One person suffering from commitment phobia might react to it in a completely different way to another commitment phobic.
Each person has their own commitment phobia 'trigger'… the event or stage of relationship that triggers their 'fear'.
Some commitment phobic's do get into long term relationships, and after being in that relationship for a long time, it's only then that the 'trigger' happens, and they feel 'fear'.
At that stage, someone with commitment phobia might describe the feeling of being 'trapped' in the relationship, or in some way trapped or 'pressured' by the other person.
If this happens, the person with commitment phobia usually has to find a way to distance themselves from their partner.
In a long term relationship, this can, of course, cause a lot of hurt and upset to the partner of the person with commitment phobia.
The 'Yo-Yo-ing' Effect in Commitment Phobia
This can happen when a commitment phobic is in a relationship, but suddenly feels trapped or pressured. Their response is often to 'run away'…. So they might sabotage or end the relationship, even at the expense of their partner's feelings.
Once they have 'run away' from the relationship, the commitment phobic often starts to feel 'emptiness'. They start to realize that they did love their partner after all. This emptiness… missing the other person, can often cause them to go back to them.
Of course, once back in the relationship again, and after everything has 'settled down', the relationship quickly starts to head back towards their 'trigger' again.
Before you know it, the commitment phobic is off again. Then they're back…. Then they're off… and so on.
This 'yo-yo-ing' effect can go on for some time because the partner of the commitment phobic is often just so glad to get them back, that they'll put up with all the uncertainty in between.
The Serial Commitment Phobic
Another way for a person with commitment phobia to avoid having to become involved in a long term relationship is to form a series of superficial relationships that are almost certainly never going to lead to anything more long-term.
This may give the commitment phobic the appearance of being promiscuous, or overly flirtatious, perhaps having a series of sexual partners for example.
The person with serial commitment phobia may be labeled by their friends and family as promiscuous, but would rather have that, than become committed to a relationship.
The Fear of Commitment to Anything
Most of this article has been about the person who has commitment phobia and their personal relationships. Of course, we mustn't forget that commitment phobia can affect the person's commitment to anything.
Someone with commitment phobia might find it difficult to gain job security, being afraid to pursue a career in case they get 'stuck in a rut'.
A person with commitment phobia can feel their commitment phobia feelings come up at any time where they feel out of control, trapped, insecure, pressured, or 'swamped'.
Often the commitment phobic will be afraid of losing their independence, or might fear losing sight of who they really are.

Buddha Statue, bronze
China: Late Ming Dynasty (early 17th century)
Buddhism, having arrived in China in the 1st century AD, allowed for the introduction of new artistic themes to China, especially when concerned with statuary. During the Tang Dynasty, China was relatively open to foreign influences, which was caused by the travels of Chinese Buddhist monks to India. Inspired by Indian art, Chinese sculpture became classical in nature. After the Tang Dynasty, views on foreign influences were more negative and foreign religions were outlawed in order to support Taoism. Many Buddhist paintings were discarded and destroyed as a result of these negative views on foreign religions.
Nevertheless, Buddhism is still popular in China today, which is residence to one of the richest collections of Buddhist arts in the world, containing sites such as the Leshan Giant Buddha and the Mogao Caves.

Georgana Hall and I are hosting a BPS chat tonight and you're invited!
We'll be in our FREE Summer classroom at Big Picture Scrapbooking at 6:00 pm (pacific time) eager to connect with you and share ideas.
We wanted our summer classroom to be a place of refuge and easy inspiration this year.
I had to smile when I saw this bowl full of cherries, posted by Janine because I have to fight off urges to photograph fruit all summer long — it is such a symbol of the season for me.
There is just something so irresistible about a bowl of freshly washed fruit. But … less we forget it is NOT summer everywhere …
I thought I'd share these frozen leaves from Nic Howard — so pretty!
We encouraged everyone to post an everyday summer photo to our gallery and we are obviously ALL very busy because there are very few postings. I'm going to motivate you a bit. Visit the classroom (register here) and post an everyday summer photo before our chat tonight and you could WIN one of the brand NEW collections of Basic Grey. I'll give away one each of Indian Summer and Eerie (see below.) I'll post winners here on my blog after the chat.
It's hard to believe, but fall and Halloween are just around the corner. I can help you prepare!
HOPE to see you there.

It was only when she met her first husband, actor Peter Horton, that she realized she was part of a cult, because he was researching cults for a role in a film about the Moonies.

Insidious: Chapter 2 frightened off the competition at the box office this weekend, taking the No. 1 spot with $41 million in ticket sales. The sequel earned three times as much as the original movie in its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. It's the second-highest September opening, behind last year's Hotel Transylvania.
The Robert De Niro/Michelle Pfeiffer mob comedy The Family opened in second place with $14.5 million.
Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer share the screen for the first time in their new mob comedy movie The Family, but unbeknownst to De Niro, they nearly worked together more than 30 years ago.
During an interview with Fox News to promote The Family, Pfeiffer revealed that she auditioned for De Niro's 1980 classic Raging Bull.
Mitt Romney has faced some tough questions on the campaign trail, and he was presented with another difficult one during a recently-taped interview for Live! With Kelly and Michael: Snooki or Honey Boo Boo?
"Do you know who either of these are?" Kelly Ripa asked the Republican presidential nominee after her co-host Michael Strahan presented him with the choice. (Romney had said earlier in the interview that he didn't "keep up" with the Kardashians.)
More than 40 years before True Blood and Twilight made angst-ridden vampires the hot new thing, there was a wicked little afternoon soap called Dark Shadows. At its center was Barnabas Collins, a brooding bloodsucker played with equal parts torment and relish by Jonathan Frid, and if you were an offbeat kid in the late 1960s there's a good chance you raced home from school to watch it. Tim Burton, the acclaimed director, was one of those eager young fans. And now he's put his own spin on things. His movie version of Dark Shadows opens May 11 with a starry cast headed by Johnny Depp — yet another boyhood buff of the soap — as the reluctant, guilt-ridden and immortally sexy Barnabas.
Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon and Michelle Pfeiffer and are among a second set of presenters announced Wednesday by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.

Antonis Samaras (Greek: Αντώνης Σαμαράς, pronounced [anˈdonis samaˈras]; born 23 May 1951) is a Greek politician who has been Prime Minister of Greece since 2012. He is also leader of New Democracy. Samaras previously served as Minister of Finance in 1989, as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1989 to 1992, and as Minister of Culture and Sport in 2009.
Samaras was known for a 1993 controversy in which he effectively caused the New Democracy Government, of which he was a member, to fall from power. In spite of this he rejoined the party in 2004 and was elected to its leadership in a closely fought intra-party election in late 2009.[1] He is the seventh leader of the party since it was founded in 1974.
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Athens, Samaras attended school in the Athens College (founded by his maternal great-grandfather, Stefanos Delta, and Emmanouil Benakis, Delta's father-in-law), and graduated from Amherst College in 1974 with a degree in economics, and then from Harvard University in 1976 with an MBA. He is the son of Dr. Konstantinos Samaras, who was a Professor of Cardiology, and Lena, née Zannas, a maternal granddaughter of author Penelope Delta. His brother, Alexander, is an architect. His paternal uncle, George Samaras, was a long-standing member of Parliament for Messenia in the 1950s and 1960s. He is married and has a daughter and a son.
He grew up among the Athens well-connected families, playing tennis. At the age of 17, he won the Greek Teen Tennis Championship.[2]
Samaras and former Prime Minister George Papandreou were dormitory roommates during their student years at Amherst College, but became bitter political rivals.[3]
Early career[edit]
Samaras has been elected as a Member of the Hellenic Parliament, initially for Messenia, from 1977 onward. In 1989 he became the Finance Minister, later advancing to become the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the New Democracy government of PM Konstantinos Mitsotakis (1990–93), from which post he caused the "Macedonian Question" to ignite. It remains an awkward diplomatic situation, involving both a national name and a heritage dispute.[4]
After being removed from his post in 1992 over this issue, Samaras founded his own party, "Political Spring" (Greek: Πολιτική Άνοιξη, Politiki Anoixi), located politically to the right of New Democracy. The defection of one Member of Parliament from New Democracy to Samaras' party caused the government's fall from power in 1993.
Political Spring gained 4.9 per cent of the vote in the 1993 general election, earning ten seats in the Greek Parliament. They gained 8.7 per cent in the elections in the 1994 European Parliament elections, earning two seats. Its decline started in the 1996 general election, when it gained 2.94 per cent, just below the 3 per cent threshold necessary to enter parliament. They participated in the 1999 European Parliament elections, but only got 2.3%, which was not enough to elect MEPs.
Political Spring did not participate in the 2000 general election, and Samaras publicly supported the New Democracy party. Before the 2004 general election, Samaras dissolved his party, rejoined New Democracy and he was elected a MEP in the 2004 European elections.
In the 2007 Greek legislative election he was elected to the Greek Parliament for Messenia, and consequently resigned from the European Parliament. In January 2009 he was appointed Minister for Culture following a government reshuffle. In this capacity he inaugurated the new Acropolis Museum in July 2009. He was reelected in Messenia in 2009.
New Democracy[edit]
After New Democracy resoundingly lost the 2009 legislative election, Kostas Karamanlis resigned as head of the party, prompting a leadership race, and Samaras ran for the post. Early polls showed he was running neck and neck with the perceived initial favorite Dora Bakoyanni, the former Foreign Minister and former Athens mayor.[5] Shortly thereafter, another leadership candidate, former Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos announced he was resigning his candidacy and would support Samaras instead. In a break with previous practice, an extraordinary party congress resolved that the new leader would be elected by party members in a countrywide ballot. Samaras' candidacy soared in opinion polls and finished the race as a favorite.
In the early morning hours of 30 November 2009, Samaras was elected the new leader of the New Democracy party.[6] Following early results showing Samaras in a comfortable lead, Bakoyanni, his main rival, conceded defeat and called Samaras to congratulate him. He accepted his election with a speech at the party headquarters, and pledged to carry out a broad ideological and organizational reform, aspiring to regain majority status. He was later instrumental in the expulsion of Ms. Bakoyanni (May, 2010) for defying the party line and voting for an austerity measure required for European Union-International Monetary Fund backed lending.
Prime Minister[edit]
Following the May 2012 legislative election where the New Democracy party became the largest party in the Hellenic Parliament, Samaras was asked by Greek President Karolos Papoulias to try to form a government.[7] However, after a day of hard negotiations with the other parties in Parliament, Samaras officially announced he was giving up the mandate to form a government. The task passed to Alexis Tsipras, leader of the SYRIZA (the second largest party) who was also unable to form a government.[8] After PASOK also failed to negotiate a successful agreement to form a government, emergency talks with the President ended with a new election being called while the outgoing chairman of the Council of State Panagiotis Pikrammenos was appointed as Prime Minister in a caretaker government composed of independent technocrats.
Voters once again took to the polls in the widely-watched June 2012 election. New Democracy came out on top in a stronger position with 129 seats, compared to 108 in the May election. [9] The new government would have a majority of 28 (which has since been reduced to 18),[10] On 20 June 2012, Samaras successfully formed a coalition with PASOK (now led by former Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos) and DIMAR.[11] The new government would have a majority of 28 (which has since been reduced to 18),[12] with SYRIZA, Independent Greeks (ANEL), Golden Dawn (XA) and the Communist Party (KKE) comprising the opposition. PASOK and DIMAR chose to take a limited role in Samaras' Cabinet, being represented by party officials and independent technocrats instead of MPs.[13]

Lack of degrees or certain certifications sometimes can bar very competent individuals from receiving promotions or raises, regardless of how many years of experience and industry-specific accomplishments they may have achieved. It's not about the certs or degrees, but about the experience and practical application of foundations of personal training as they're found specific to each client on a case by case basis.
A simple Google image search of fitness photos, will net you a plethora of motivational sayings and quotes that encourage trainees to push through pain, fight for the extra rep, and basically beat yourself to a pulp in the gym, while reminding yourself that "pain is weakness leaving the body". But what is the end result of our fitocracy fascination? Lots of injuries, for starters.
If you log on to forum pages of any major gym chain, it's a safe bet that you'll notice a collection of posts from unhappy clients that talk about their bad experiences in the gym. Now, it's understandable that with large fitness chains, it's expected that 100 per cent of the clients will not be satisfied. But the umbrella of the commercial gym often gives personal trainers a bad rap too.
Variety is the spice of life, so it's always strange to me when people get stuck in a workout rut and don't change. Who said you had to do the things you are doing? There are hundreds of ways to exercise. Some need equipment, some need open spaces and some just need you and a little bit of good old hard work.
I have a lot of clients who try to tell me that their bodies are just meant to be fat naturally. I then tell them I'm sorry but I do not agree! The bottom line is this: nobody was born to be uncomfortable in their own skin. It took me a long time to make health my goal, not weight loss. And ever since I've started to make that shift I've never been happier with my body.

Is there a rumor you've heard that you would like to track down? Is there something in the community that needs to get fixed? Mary Malahy explains some of the mysteries of life in the Tosa area.
Should recyclables be bagged?
Issue: A reader noticed that his neighbors put their recyclables in a plastic garbage bag and then put those bags in the cart. But, the reader simply puts the recyclables directly in the cart without a bag. He wants to know which way is correct.
Status: Mike Kreiter, operations superintendent with the Department of Public Works, said residents should put tall recyclables directly in the recycling carts, except for shredded paper, which may be placed in a bag. Putting other recyclable items in a bag makes it harder for the automatic sorting process.
"If the general public could see how advanced the sorting system is, they would be amazed," Kreiter said.

I don't post a lot anymore, mainly because I am so busy. I have a question/concern and please forgive me if it sounds silly, but I really want to do whats best.
DS#1 is very cautious, I guess is the best word to describe him. At home, he is perfectly fine, acts outgoing and talkative, because he is in his element. Whenever we go somewhere he clams up. He is fine if I am holding him, but if a sales person says "hi" to him, he tells them no, and looks away. If we are at the library, and sit down next to other people he will cry because we are too close to others. Some of it, I think is from being inside a lot this winter due to it being freaking cold and having a baby ( I SAH), and I am hoping zoo trips, and outings to the pool will help him. I figured being around other people in open areas would help. But I worry, that it may be the wrong thing? DS is such a sweet boy, and I get sad that people miss out on his great personality.
Are there any books, or any recommendations on how to help DS be more comfortable in social settings?
Your son sounds a lot like mine I SAH too and worry he's not getting enough social interaction. Just last week we had a play date and he melted down anytime the other kids were loud. It was a total bummer.

I do - shoot your questions:-)
I'm here Henry:-)

Don't coun't on a kind of Autotune. These algorithems normally don't work in real time, it would surprise me, if we will see that in V2. In addition no other desk offers Autotune by now. But I'm very...
RTL Time on the X32 is 0,8ms (analog in to analoge out). If you add an FX or GEQ in this signalpath, the RTL will be 1,5ms. The X32 is not phase coherent (like the most other digital Live Desks (f.e....
Hi Markus,
it would helpful to know what kind of computer and OS you are using.
In addition, have you run the dpc latency checker?-->
What are...
I did the same. I was never an Apple fan boy, but the iPad just works! I brought a s/h iPad1 for 150,- Euros and with deactivated mini-faders/meters it works really great with the X32.
I just notice this on my old IMB T60 (XP) notebook, but only with the meters. There is a build up in lag over the time, but the rest of the programm works like it should. Maybe it its a CPU thing....
I did about 100 shows with the X32, and no show stoppers so far. Some minor glitches with the S16 sync. These were solved by dropping the old unshielded CAT5 cable for shielded CAT6 cabels. Did...
Just use a shielded Cat6 cable for AES50 and connect your X32 and S16 to the same power circuit and you should be fine. At least that was what the head of Behringer R&D told me. Works perfect here....
"but they will be named showname.001, showname.002 etc"
No, if you bring them back, they will have their original names.
If you just want to bring back some of the files from your show, you can...
And add a power line, so that your S16 and the X32 are always powered by the same power circuit:-)
Myself I don't care about DMX, so I might build a snake with this cable-->
Sorry, if I haven't made myself clear enough.
Four lines for audio and four for the clocking - no lines left.
AES50 needs both pairs. One pair for audio and one pair for the clocking.
In a nutshell: It won't work.
I know two vendors of this kind of cabels. One is-->
The other one is-->
Friend of mine has a 60 meter...
Myself, I have the standard Thomann Case in black. For me, it is absolutly ok. Did almost 100 shows with my...
It depends on your computer.
I get great results with:
1. lowest setting possible
2. between 128-256 samples for recording
3. don't care - I always use Asio
Some computers need a tweaked...
You can delay any of the 16 analog outs on the desk. Hit "routing"-->"analoge out"--> on the right side of the screen is your line delay.
+1 on dropping the Ultranet and going with AES50 instead as digital input for the iQ line!
And we need a new Speaker Management with AES and at least 4in and 8 outs:-)
"and the bass frequencies is so fat"
Toroidal core power supply - still the best for amplifying bass!
I also still use old iron toroidal amps, but only in permanent installs. I'm happyly tradeing...
Again...the results are directly related to type of measurement signal you use. Shorter sine burst = more power. Simple as that. There are no official worldwide standards, how to power rate an amp....

Hi, name I use on the ham bands is 'Sonny'. Avid DX Chaser and love working with and designing wire antennas. Favorite DX bands are 40-80-160....
I have DXCC on all HF Bands but I treasure my DXCC on 160 meters more than any. All of my DXCC contacts on 160 meters are on SSB. DXCC #576 TOP BAND !
I do not own an 'antenna tuner', all of my antennas are cut for the band I am working. Mosley Pro-57-B for 20mt thru 10mt. Vertical dipole for 40mt. Simple dipole for 80mt and I use my shunt fed tower for TX on 160 and I have a dipole for 160 for close in rag chews....
