Overall Experience
Excellent Service
December 23, 2014
Other reviews here document well the location. Don't let that put you off. I spent a couple of nights here as a base for sightseeing in Istanbul, and found that the hotel is quite convenient. Yes, outside the door is a more industrial neighbourhood, but it is only a 5-10 minute walk (albeit uphill) to Osmanbey metro station, that takes you to all the major attractions in minutes. The hotel also has a shuttle bus that commutes between the hotel, the Metro and Taksim Square.
The hotel itself is typical high quality Crowne Plaza. Well equipped rooms, with nice bathrooms. Good water pressure in the showers, and a nice amenity kit. Clean rooms, and comfortable bed. The room has a safe to store valuables, and the closet features a iron and ironing board which you don't get at many hotels.
What is standout at this property is the breakfast buffet. It has a vast number of items to choose from including numerous breads, cheeses, vegetables, and many hot foods including sausages, eggs, and pancakes. Some of the items were changed from one day to the next which is good for variety if you plan to stay here for a few days. It was a December day, so not much opportunity to sit outside, but there is a sheltered patio area.
Finally, the staff on the most part were very friendly. I had concerns when I checked in and the welcome wasn't all that warm. However, I put that down to a lack of English in the two gentlemen who served me. They were efficient, but didn't have much to say. Later, I found that the Reception staff were very friendly - and their English was much better. My concerns weren't founded. On the whole, service at this property was excellent. The restaurant staff was great, and always there when you need them. One server caught me reading a guidebook, and offered to provide any advice on Istanbul if I had any questions.
On check-out I was asked if I had a nice stay, and I felt that she meant it. I didn't have any complaints. This is a very good hotel, nice rooms, friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again.
suit room and great one night
December 23, 2014
Thank you for suit room and complimentary services. Room and breakfast is great and friendly smily staffs. Location is nealy to taksim its very nice.
Very enjoyable experience overall
December 21, 2014
I was staying in a deluxe room that totally justified its name: spacious, well equipped and designed. Staff were pleasant and professional at all times.
Excellent gym and spa
December 20, 2014
Compliments to the highly friendly staff and sufficient level of English.
The spa was excellent. I found it convenient to be able to go to the gym between business meetings and trainings. The only downside to the use of the pool was a mandatory use of a cap that was available on purchase only. Since it was such a small amount of money, why not make them available for free? Also inconvenient, since one usually doesn't bring money to a swimming pool.
The room was very clean each day, except for the carpet.
What was inconvenient was that the lights in the room did not switch off automatically after removing the card key, so I had to go around the room each time I left. This does not promote pro-environmental behaviour.
On the other hand, the lighting in the room and the hotel in general was bad. It hurt my eyes

Hello Jewel Loom™ fans! Its Judy here with a leather and bead wrap bracelet that I created on the Jewel Loom.
I've admired wrap bracelets like this for some time. I never made one because it seemed like it would be hard to keep the leather straight while weaving the beads. Then the idea to use the Jewel Loom came to me! It was pretty easy to make this Leather Wrap Bracelet!
To figure the length for the leather, wrap a double strand loosely around wrist 3 times and add about 5-6ʺ.
Here's how to make the bracelet:
Thread a button on the leather cord at halfway mark/fold of leather. Tie a knot close to the button.
To put it on the Jewel Loom, hook the button end on one of the buttons on back of loom.
Pull the cords to the other end and wrap each end around the button and then around side buttons. Use clothes pins to hold the leather ends.
The fun begins!!!
Thread about 6 feet of WildFire in beading needle. Using double strand, knot thread ends around leather near loom end. Thread on bead, wrap thread around opposite leather and back through bead going under leather at other side. Bring thread over top of leather, add another bead, wrap over leather, back through bead keeping thread under leather cord. Repeat.
Add beads for about 2-3ʺ. Loosen the leather cords and remove from loom. Slide the beads towards the button. It sounds easy but it takes a little wiggling back & forth to get them to move. Pull on one leather cord while holding the beads with other hand. Repeat with the other cord. Work back & forth until the beads are near the knot by the button.
Put it back on the loom as before. Continue to add beads to the other end of loom.
Loosen the leather from the loom again. Place the button end on the Jewel Loom button at the opposite end so the beaded portion is on the back of the loom. Again stretch the leather across the front of the loom and knot the ends around the bracelet button in back.
Finish beading the bracelet. Add more WildFire thread as needed. Add Super Glue to the knots and weave ends through beads. If necessary, the bracelet can be removed from the loom to add the last few beads.
Tie overhand knots in the leather ends allowing enough space between to slip over the button.
- A few tips:
- Most likely the leather will stretch on the loom. Put the wire holder in place when not working on the bracelet. It may be helpful to leave it in if the leather is stretching too much.
- Stagger the bead pattern so that when it's wrapped the same beads aren't next to each other.
- Have fun with this! There are myriads of color and bead combinations possible!
Happy beading!

- Beadalon Jewel Loom™
- Beadalon WildFire™ Thread – Green 0.20 mm
- Connie Crystal Aqua Beads
- Blue Moon Beads® – Round Natural 4mm
- Blue Moon Beads® – Round Silver Metal beads
- Aqua and Clear Crystal faceted beads

Batu for you?
... The site of the Batu Caves is literally just opposite the station so it couldn't be easier to get there. On entering the site there is a 50ft statue of Hanuman, the noble monkey devotee and aide of Lord Rama. You can wander round the temple but there is a charge for this. As we didn't, I'm not sure how much that is. Further in there is a multitude of shops and stalls selling food, drink and various bits of memorabilia. ...

Talk Title: Rethinking Education: Culti
vating Computational Creativity and Inventiveness among Students, Educator
s, and School Leaders with GLOBALORIA
Talk Abstract:
How can we nu
rture today''s disengaged students to become self-driven learners who are c
reative and computationally capable? How can we help youth prosper in a hig
h-tech, global economy and learn the vital skills needed to manage their c
areers, multifaceted communication and large-scale, collaborative project
s? "We cannot wait for higher education or selective professional training
to do this," asserts our speaker, Dr. Idit Harel Caperton. "We must start
young and provide all children with ample opportunities to become proficie
nt and fluent contemporary learners with technology." To help students dev
elop sophisticated contemporary learning abilities, the World Wide Worksho

ork where students make games and simulations in a virtual design studio th
at''s embedded in a social learning system, and fully integrated into scho
ol curriculum. Inspired by Constructionist learning theory, Globaloria's
platform, tools and curriculum are designed to cultivate content knowledg
e, along with computational and cross-disciplinary skills. Qualitative and
quantitative research methods are being used to assess the impact of this
innovation on teaching and learning.

Son of Beast to be dismantled, eventually replaced
Updated On: Jul 27 2012 05:35:00 PM EDT
Kings Island will remove a troubled roller coaster to make way for future expansion.
Son of Beast will be dismantled later this summer, park officials said.
The record-breaking wooden coaster, a sequel to The Beast roller coaster, opened in 2000 and last ran in 2009.
It originally featured a loop and was the only wooden coaster to boast one, but that was removed following a 2006 accident.
The ride was shut down three years later after a woman was injured.
Park officials did not say what might replace Son of Beast.

Gov. Susana Martinez today announced a series of proposals designed to bring high tech jobs to the state.
At a press conference on Friday, Gov. Martinez proposed to expand the Angel Investment Credit, which would allow for greater private investment in small New Mexico start up tech companies. It would raise the maximum individual investment threshold from $100,000 to $250,000 and increase the overall cap on the credit from $750,000 to $2 million.
Gov. Martinez also wants to combine the Technology Jobs Tax Credit with the Research and Development Small Business Tax Credit to better support new companies
"This session, we must take decisive steps to expand the pipeline of innovation in New Mexico, and then improve our tax treatment of those innovation activities once they occur," Gov. Martinez said. "New Mexico has tremendous potential to become an even stronger leader in high-tech research and development, but we must improve the way in which we support innovators who want to bring their ideas and products to the marketplace and reward the creation of technology-related jobs in our state."

When Taylor Schilling arrives on the set of "Orange Is the New Black," her make-under begins.
"We all come into work and we get our makeup taken off. The woman who does my makeup," said Schilling, 29, "I'm just now realizing her tricks. I think she spends time with me like just with the brush with nothing on my face to make it feel like she's doing something."
The no-makeup look might be intimidating, but it's a thrill for Schilling.
"It's liberating and scary, and it feels risky, and I think that's when sometimes the most interesting stuff happens – especially on a show that is all-female," she said. "It's kind of exciting to have it be about what's happening between us as opposed to what shoes people are wearing or what their makeup or hair or whatever looks like."
The popular Netflix original series follows Schilling's character, Piper Chapman, as she adjusts to life in a women's prison.
Before the hit show's second season debuts June 6, fans can catch her out of the orange jumpsuit in the indie drama "Stay."
Q: What was it like filming "Stay" with Aidan Quinn on the west coast of Ireland?
A: Just incredible. I mean, I know him as Aidan Quinn from "Legends of the Fall," you know, a very fancy actor man. And he was such a pleasure to work with and so talented. And also, it was so fun to be with him in his home turf of Ireland where … they love him so much.
Q: What can you tell us about the new season of "Orange Is the New Black"?
A: We go deeper into characters, and it encompasses more of the Litchfield prison community, so you get to know more of the ladies a little bit more in-depth.
Q: Did you know Lupita Nyong'o has shown her love for "Orange" over social media?
A: I'm glad Lupita likes it! I like Lupita. Holy cow!

Thoughts on plans for Disney Dining Reservations?
Its come to my attention that the 6 month gap to my Walt Disney World vacation is coming up next month. So need to really start considering what Dining Reservations to book soon. Here is a small list and I'm interested to know what you some of you think. Boatwright's Dining Hall, Yak & Yeti, Le Cellier, Jiko, California Grill, Brown Derby, Be Our Guest and monsieur Paul. Thoughts?
I think your line up looks fabulous! Jiko and Cali Grill are my two favorite restaurants on property and your other choices look great too! Just know nothing about Boatwrights.
Have a great time!
One more question- are you using HBD for Fantasmic? I did 7 signature restaurants in 2011 and it was our least favorite- altho we didn't hate it! If using it for fantastmic I think it's a good choice. If that's not a huge priority to you- I would consider Artist Point or Flying Fish.
Also one other note- I have read overall better things about Yachtsman than Le Cellier. I loved Yachtsman- never been to Le Cellier. I bet Le Cellier is great too- but you just may want to really compare the two before going.
Have fun!!
I eaten at Brown Derby before and was impressed. The Package with Fantasmic I've heard doesn't offer the best seating. And I'll compare menu's with Yachtsman and Le Cellier. The big draw with Le Cellier is the Cheese Soup. But we'll be visiting during Food & Wine, so can pick it up at the kiosk.
Jiko - when I went, this was one of the quieter places. The food and service were excellent and it really felt like an "adult" dining experience. We were in the wine room, which might have added to the feel. The appetizers were interesting and the entrees were very good. The One Last Cup dessert was really cute.
California Grill - I too am interested to see what the new menu looks like. Before the renovation, it was one of my favorite Signatures. It's much brighter (and noisier) than Jiko, but the food is excellent. (Plus it has a great view of the MK fireworks.)
Le Cellier - located inside Epcot, it's still an in-park restaurant. So this is a pretty casual "Signature" (meaning you'll see lots of families and folks in theme park attire). The food is very good. I love the cheddar cheese soup and Filet Mignon with mushroom risotto. The service is okay, but not quite are refined as at the other Sigs I've been to.
Brown Derby - located inside DHS, this is another in-park restaurant. The food is very good (Cobb Salad, Filet Mignon). The service is also good. I've done the Fantasmic! dining package and it's a good deal if you're going.
Yak & Yeti - The theme-ing for the restaurant is done really well. I like the entrees here (mandarin chicken salad, duck), but the appetizers and desserts weren't my thing (dim sum basket, fried wontons). My family likes to eat here because the food is good and it's a nice place to take a break from a busy day in AK.

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books, and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, reports on a new study unraveling how whey protein might benefit the heart.
As reported in Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/heart-health-articles/put-the-brakes-on-dangerous-heart-problems), a recent study conducted by researchers at the Department of Kinesiology, University of Connecticut tried to unravel just how whey protein might benefit the heart. Whey protein is the supplement of choice for bodybuilders, but what about its heart connection.
Previous research has already shown that whey protein intake reduces cardiovascular risk, but the researchers wanted to know the actions behind this important health benefit. So they looked at the impact of a whey-derived extract on people with an increased cardiovascular risk profile. The participants all had impaired blood flow in their arteries.
The researchers measured brachial artery flow, plasma amino acids, insulin, and endothelium function two hours after ingestion of a whey protein extract. A second group of study participants were given a placebo.
The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article, "Put the Brakes on Dangerous Heart Problems," reports researchers discovered the following.
The research team found that brachial artery flow improvements at 120 minutes were significantly greater in the whey extract group, compared to the placebo group. Plasma amino acids increased at 30 minutes following whey ingestion, and serum insulin increased at 15, 30, and 60 minutes. In summary, the whey protein improved endothelium dilation in the participants.
Endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels. When your endothelium functions normally, it regulates coagulation of blood, platelet adhesion, and immune function.
In contrast, when your endothelium is compromised, you can be at high risk for several serious complications, such as septic shock, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
(SOURCE: Ballard, K.D., et al., "Acute effects of ingestion of a novel whey-derived extract on vascular endothelial function in overweight, middle-aged men and women," Br. J. Nutr., June 13, 2012: 1–12.)

This is an interesting and well written introduction to your story. Will Elijah Wood be the main character or only the narrator of this tale?
Author's Response: Elijiah will be one of the main characters. Something I didn't mention was that I put the person who is narrating in the title, meaning that if Elijah's name is in the title of the chapter, everything is told from his point of view. :) There will be a few main characters. But I do urge you to pay attention to the titles of the chapters as they will tell you who is speaking. :) Thanks for the review!!!

Apple Inc. (AAPL:US) received low marks from Greenpeace International for the energy use of its iCloud online service, which the environmental organization says doesn't rely enough on clean sources of electricity.
The Cupertino, California-based company earned no better than a D in the four categories analyzed by a Greenpeace report released today called "How Clean is Your Cloud?"
Of the 14 companies investigated, only Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN:US) and Twitter Inc. got a worse overall grade for categories that included companies' public disclosure of data and willingness to spell out ways to improve their energy plans. Greenpeace also listed a clean energy index that ranks the companies by the amount of renewable energy they use as a percentage of their overall consumption, Bloomberg.com reported on its Tech Blog. Apple was the sixth lowest on that list.
The main charge is that Apple and many other large information-technology providers aren't trying hard enough to use clean, renewable sources of energy in their data centers, which deliver software and computer power to users over the so- called cloud.
"Many IT companies are simply choosing to attach their modern information factories to some of the dirtiest sources of electricity, supplied by some of the dirtiest utilities on the planet," Greenpeace said in the report. "These utilities, unlike the IT companies, are not known for their innovation."
North Carolina
Apple, for example, put its main data center in Maiden, North Carolina, and gets much of its electricity through coal- fired plants owned by Duke Energy Corp. (DUK:US) A new facility in Oregon also will probably be mostly coal-powered, according to Greenpeace, which estimates that Apple gets about 55 percent of its electricity via coal. That's a higher percentage than any of the other companies.
Gary Cook, a Greenpeace senior IT policy analyst who served as the lead author of the report, said Apple should use its cash and influence to buy cleaner energy, which would pressure Duke to do so as well.
"To do a clean iCloud, they need to demand better options from Duke," he said.
In response to the report, Apple issued a strong statement that raises questions about the quality of Greenpeace's analysis. The company revealed that its North Carolina data center will consume a maximum of 20 megawatts -- far less than the 100 megawatts that Greenpeace estimated.
The company also provided an update on its plans that belie Greenpeace's characterization of Apple as a laggard on the data center issue.
'On Track'
Apple said it is "on track to supply more than 60 percent of that power on-site from renewable sources, including a solar farm and fuel cell installation, which will each be the largest of their kind in the country. We believe this industry leading project will make Maiden the greenest data center ever built, and it will be joined next year by our new facility in Oregon running on 100 percent renewable energy."
In its study, Greenpeace estimated that the solar farm and fuel cell would satisfy only 10 percent of the energy required. Despite Apple's plans for the future, the group gave the company a D for not using its huge cash reserves to buy cleaner forms of energy.
Thomas Williams, a Duke Energy spokesman, said that 46 percent of the company's generating capacity in the Carolinas is coal-fired, compared with the U.S. average of 41 percent.
"We take strong exception to Greenpeace's contention that our Carolina power is 'dirty,' since it's consistent with the nation's mix of coal," Williams said in an e-mail. "What coal we do have is getting cleaner, and the majority of our power comes from emissions-free nuclear."
'Earned Some Credit'
Apple's low marks are the latest sign of a re-escalation of criticism from Greenpeace, which had tempered its attacks late last decade after Apple began disclosing its success in eliminating use of harmful chemicals product manufacturing.
In 2009, the late Steve Jobs said he thought the company had made big strides to win over the nonprofit.
"I thought they were being very unfair with us at the beginning, and that they were using us to get visibility," Jobs had said. "But we never disagreed with them about the fundamental goal. I'd like to think we've earned some credit."
While the latest report showed that Apple still isn't in Greenpeace's good graces, other companies received low scores.
Amazon got an F for transparency because it provides little detail about the energy used to dole out its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing offerings. The company doesn't contribute information to an industry group called the Carbon Disclosure Project. In addition, it got an F for its use of renewable energy sources.
'Out of Step'
"AWS does not appear to have made any purchases of investments in renewable electricity for its facilities," Greenpeace's Cook said in the report. "AWS is currently falling out of step with other major cloud companies who are putting in place a long-term business strategy that accounts for impacts the company will face due to climate change."
Drew Herdener, a spokesman for Seattle-based Amazon, said the company told Greenpeace weeks ago that the group's information was inaccurate, though Amazon declined to release any numbers. He said that having "hundreds of thousands of companies" rely on Amazon's data centers rather than try to run their own is bound to be more energy-efficient.
"The cloud enables a combined smaller carbon footprint that significantly reduces overall consumption," Herdener said.
While Cook agreed that cloud computing is a good approach, he said some clouds are cleaner than others.
Unlike Apple and Amazon, Twitter didn't dispute the findings. "The Greenpeace report raises important considerations around energy efficiency," the company said. "We continue to strive for greater energy efficiency as we build our infrastructure."
Better Scores
The report gave better grades to Google Inc. (GOOG:US), Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO:US) and Facebook Inc. (FB:US) Google has set up a quasi-utility called Google Energy that has inked long-term contracts to buy wind energy from NextEra Energy Inc. in Oklahoma and Iowa. Greenpeace said Google's facilities use half the energy of the typical data center.
The group also credits Google for pledging to get 35 percent of its energy from renewable sources and for "its involvement in the lobbying debate to advance clean energy policies in the United States."
Meanwhile, Yahoo located a new data center in upstate New York, where it draws heavily on hydro-power from the New York Power Authority.
Facebook's new data center in Sweden can be run entirely on renewable energy, and the company has promised to do the same for its entire business.

Miami Mikes is the place you want to go if you're not a demanding traveler. It's the typical place for a backbacker and you will have what you need. The price is good for what you have and Mike is an awesome and very helpful host. The place is located in the center of Chitré and it's close to stores, banks, pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants, bus stops, anything you need. It is noisy sinnce it's the center of the city and it's a bit hot. Maintenance to the place could come of good advantage.

Turkish stocks slid for a second day as investors speculated the central bank would continue to raise reserve requirements in its bid to limit loan expansion.
The Istanbul Stock Exchange Main 100 index dropped 1.8 percent to 75,898.69 at the close in Istanbul today, its lowest level since Dec. 6. Banks led the decline, with Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS (GARAN) losing 3.8 percent, Akbank TAS (AKBNK) falling 2.3 percent, Turkiye Is Bankasi AS (ISCTR) plummeting 4.1 percent and Turkiye Vakiflar Bankasi TAO (VAKBN) slipping 2.3 percent. The 16-member banking index retreated 3.2 percent.
The central bank in Ankara raised foreign-exchange and lira reserve requirements for lenders on Feb. 19, citing an increase in loan growth. The government will continue to take steps to restrict expansion in loans as it seeks to limit lending growth to 15 percent this year, Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan said in televised comments from Istanbul today.
"It looks like the central bank will continue raising reserve requirements," Gizem Oztok Altinsac, an economist at Garanti Securities in Istanbul, said in a phone interview today. "This limits equity gains, while triggering selling."
Loan growth was above the government's target at 19 percent in the year to Feb. 8, according to data on the state statistics agency's website.
The decline extended losses on the Istanbul Stock Exchange to 3 percent this year, down from a jump of 11 percent over year-to-Jan. 24.

It probably won't make a difference, but I'd do a disk defragmentantion, check the hard drive for errors and then run a registry cleaner to see if that helps.
as I'm still on XP, I'm not quite sure which programs to recommend to do that – hopefully someone will come along soon and correct any bad advice i've given ;-p
(ps: the disk defrag & disk error checking in W7 should be fine, and I do use the registry cleaner that's in CCleaner)
hmmmm …..
and you can get CCleaner from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
good luck :-)

I'm running XP. When that has happened to me in the past, it usually wasn't long before I had to reinstall or do a repair of the operating system from the install disk. I've learned as well to keep backups of My Documents on another drive or partition. That way if I have to completely reinstall the OS, I can then copy and paste everything from the saved My Document folder on the other drive or partition back into the new My Document folder on the newly installed OS. Hopefully you will find a fix short of such drastic measures.
May 6, 2010
Hey maxwbrad, not sure if you have gotten it fixed and not positive what could be going on, but if you haven't reinstalled your OS try to give this a shot.
Click on the "Start Menu" and go to "Network"
Click on "Organize" at the upper right corner of the window. A drop down window will pop up. Click on "folder" and "search options".
On the folder option window you will see three tabs at the upper right-hand corner. Click on "view" and SELECT "always show Icons, never thumbnail". Next, DESELECT "display files Icon on thumbnails" as illustrated below.
Click OK and see if that does the job.
Let me know if it helped or if you managed to correct it. Good Luck!

I've been online and looked up all sorts of ideas and I think I'm going to do a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing in between the layers. I charge $2.25 for my red velvet cupcakes (each jar will only have room for one cupcake in them) Do you think $3.99 is asking too much?? They will have ribbon and spoons tied to each one.

Partner Communications' CEO Discussees Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Thank you, Gideon. Good morning, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to welcome you to our second quarterly 2012 conference call. I will start my short briefing with a review of the recent events in the telecommunication market in Israel.
Firstly, I will describe the competition in the cellular market, and say that during May, last May, two new cellular operations launched, Hot Mobile and Golan Telecom. The new operators offer to the customer an unlimited plan at an aggressive price of NIS 98 and NIS 99. The launch was heavily promoted by PR campaigns, supported by the Israeli media and the Ministry of Communication. Existing cellular companies responded also by launching an unlimited package. The statistical approach of telephone was trying to maintain the market share almost at any price, offering an unlimited plan at the price of NIS 99. Cell com offering bundles of services [inaudible] aggressive offers to the business customers determined to maintain their customers almost at any price.
Our strategy was maintaining ARPU even at the price of [inaudible], offering unlimited plans at the price of 125 and NIS 135, the highest plan in the market, and launching 012 mobile sub-frames for customers who are only sensitive to the price but not to service and they are willing to stay with the service that is best on the internet. The outcome of our strategy, we managed to maintain the [inaudible] at NIS 101, the same as at Q1. As for the MVNOs, there is no doubt that the MVNOs are the main losers for the entry of the new operators. Currently, they're also offering unlimited plans.
Moving to the fixed line markets, we face increasing competition in the ISP markets. The competition in the [inaudible] launch caused a decline of our market share from 33 to 32. The rate of the market share's decline slowed down towards the end of the quarter. In the last quarter, we accelerated full operation merger with 012, and we started offering to our customers a telecommunication bundle service, fixed line and mobile. In spite of the operational efficiency in Q2 2012, op ex increased by NIS 100 million compared with Q3 2011. We managed to reduce 2,100 positions from October, 2011 until July, 2012, and it is not the end of our efficiency plan. On an annual base, we managed to save something like NIS 250 million annually.

I have a bit of a strange question, lol , but hopefully your opinions will help. (Don't want to share details here though, as it's sort of a surprise for someone here...but some of ya'll may figure it out anyway because of my question...lol ) BUT - I need to do a cookie that will represent the word 'central'....I'm wondering if a round cookie, maybe decorated/iced like a target or bullseye would work? Or maybe a bullseye with an arrow pointing toward the center? I'm trying to avoid using any actual writing/words...what do you think? Any other suggestions or ideas?

Nothing But the Truth: Lance Armstrong Continues His Confession to Oprah (VIDEO)
In the second part of Winfrey's revealing interview, the former cyclist opens up about his sponsors, his children and the Livestrong Foundation.
After years of denying doping allegations, Lance Armstrong finally has all the answers.
The disgraced cyclist confessed to using "banned drugs and blood transfusions" in all of his seven Tour de France victories to Oprah Winfrey in an exclusive sit-down interview, which aired Thursday night on OWN. And in the second part of their chat, Armstrong continues his no-holds-barred revelations.
In a one-minute sneak peek, Winfrey grilled the 41-year-old (who began using performance-enhancing drugs in the mid-1990s) on his former sponsorship with Nike. The shoe and apparel company terminated its endorsement deal with Armstrong in October 2012.
"Nike called, they're out," he revealed about his sponsors, adding, "It was a $75 million day...gone."
Armstrong went on to discuss the "most humbling moment" in his downfall: his disassociation with the Livestrong Foundation — a non-profit organization providing help with those diagnosed with cancer — revealing the exact details of his conversation with his former colleagues.
"We need you to consider stepping down for yourself," he said they told him.
"You heard that he was defending you. What did you say to him?" Winfrey asked as Armstrong was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, the former Olympian (his bronze medal was also stripped from his resume) revealed that his mother Linda is "a wreck."
In Part 1, Armstrong admitted his "mythic, perfect story" was "one big lie" as he detailed his doping methods during his 2009 and 2010 comeback, hiding the truth in order to maintain the "momentum" of his fame.
The second part of the interview further delved into his future in cycling and his exact motives for speaking out.
"What do you say to the millions of people who are wearing Livestrong bracelets, to those millions of people who believed?" Winfrey asked.
Tune in for Armstrong's shocking response in Part 2 of Winfrey's interview at 9 p.m. ET/PT on OWN.

So as I was looking through DNS I noticed that I am running two KMS servers on two different hosts both validating our Office 2010 installations.
I have no idea why we ended up with two but I am guessing its my fault :)
Firstly, its this an issue?
Secondly, one of the KMS servers appears to be doing 99% of the work with very few requests making it to the other. Is it simply a case of removing the second KMS record in DNS and removing the server from the host and everything will be fine, or is that woefully optimistic?

U.S. to withdraw diplomat at India's request as dispute festers
WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The United States said on Friday it would withdraw one of its diplomats from New Delhi at India's request after Washington effectively expelled an Indian envoy at the center of a dispute between the allies.
Devyani Khobragade, 39, who was India's deputy consul-general in New York, was arrested in December on charges of visa fraud and lying to U.S. authorities about what she paid her housekeeper. Khobragade's arrest and strip-search provoked protests in India and dealt a serious blow to U.S. efforts to strengthen ties.
An indictment announced by U.S. prosecutors on Thursday accused Khobragade of making her Indian housekeeper and nanny, Sangeeta Richard, work 100-hour, seven-day weeks for a salary of little more than $1 an hour and refusing her sick days and holidays. The legal minimum U.S. wage is $7.25 an hour.
Khobragade, who has denied the charges, arrived in New Delhi on Friday night and was met by her father, Uttam Khobragade. "I want to thank my nation for the support they have given me," she told Reuters Television.
Shortly after Khobragade's return home, the U.S. State Department in Washington said it would recall a U.S. diplomat, whom it did not identify, at India's request.
"This has clearly been a challenging time in the U.S.-India relationship," department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "We expect and hope that this will now come to closure and the Indians will take significant steps with us to improve our relationship and return it to a more constructive place."
The continued presence in the United States of the housekeeper could pose a challenge to Washington as it seeks to repair its relationship with New Delhi, an important U.S. ally in Asia. India has asked U.S. authorities to arrest Richard over the Indian government's allegations that she stole cash, a mobile phone and documents from Khobragade. Richard has denied the charges.
The United States has so far rebuffed those requests and further enraged India by spiriting Richard's family out of India for safety reasons. Psaki declined to comment on Richard's status, citing privacy reasons.
David Beasley, a spokesman for Safe Horizon organization that has provided Richard with legal representation, said that she and her family have been granted what is known as "continued presence" immigration status. It is available to victims of human trafficking who may serve as potential witnesses in a criminal case, allowing them to live and work legally for up to a year and can be renewed in one-year increments.
The monthlong dispute set off reprisals against American diplomats in New Delhi and led to the postponement of visits to India by U.S. officials and another by a U.S. business delegation.
India removed some security barriers near the U.S. Embassy and reduced the number of embassy staff with diplomatic immunity. On Wednesday, it ordered the embassy to close a club frequented by American expatriates and other foreign residents.
The deal allowing Khobragade to return to India had been expected to help mend the rift, but there was no sign, in the short term at least, that India was ready to forgive and forget.
"We called the U.S. mission to withdraw an officer of similar rank of Devyani as reciprocal action," an Indian official said.
The official told reporters the government believed the U.S. diplomat had a role in the Khobragade case but gave no more details.
Analysts say it will take time to dispel the bad feelings built up between New Delhi and Washington, and some fear lasting damage has been done to a relationship Washington hoped would serve as both as a counterbalance to a rising China and as an engine to boost the U.S. economy.
With national elections due in India by May, political parties there have seized on the case and labeled it an attack on national sovereignty.
Political analyst Persis Khambatta of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington said that now Khobragade had returned to India "tensions may begin to ease between the U.S. and India, but I fear that this episode has caused significant damage."
During the crisis, both New Delhi and Washington repeatedly stressed the importance of their strategic partnership, which includes $100 billion of annual trade.
The president of the U.S.-India Business Council, Ron Somers, called the Khobragade incident "deeply regrettable."
"The U.S.-India relationship is strategic to both countries, and is simply too important to allow it to be degraded or side-tracked," he said.
Although Khobragade was indicted by a federal grand jury in New York on Thursday, she had already been transferred to India's U.N. mission, a move that accorded her diplomatic immunity. India denied a U.S. request for that immunity to be waived and she was asked to leave the country.
Many Indians felt the case was an example of U.S. arrogance and taking its friendship with India for granted and they supported the government's tough stand.
"India's perception that it is not treated on par with other strategic partners, and the U.S. frustration with a relationship that is too long on 'potential' have come to the fore over a seemingly small, but not unimportant incident," Khambatta said.
Middle-class Indians sympathized more with Khobragade than with her housekeeper. Indian political circles are calling Khobragade a hero, with one party in her home state of Maharashtra saying it would talk to her about running for parliament.

Most Sunday papers distributed by major newspapers include a coupon section. If you don't get the newspaper, you can buy one from a newsstand. There are also vending machines outside many retail establishments. Even if you don't read the newspaper, the Sunday paper is a wise investment for coupon shoppers.
Many times coupons will run in conjunction with a "sale" at a local store to entice you to use the coupon immediately. It may seem like a good deal, but if you hold on to the coupon, more often than not, the product price will drop even lower before the coupon expires. A little bit of extra patience will score you a bigger deal!
If you are in debt, struggling with your finances, or just looking to save your hard earned money, you would be wise to think about using coupons. Most people underestimate just how much money can be saved with the intelligent use of coupons. The coupon advice and tips in this article can help you save lots of cash. Keep reading to learn more.
To make your coupon hobby run more smoothly, try purchasing a three-ring binder, and fill it with baseball card collector sheets. Each sheet contains 9 pockets that you can fill with your coupons. Coupons can then be divided into categories, such as cleaning supplies, beauty products and many other categories.
Sign up for mailing lists. Many stores send out newsletters, catalogs, and flyers full of great deals. If you don't mind the extra junk mail, take the time to sign up for mailing lists at stores you enjoy. It's free, and you can often find some fantastic deals from it.

If your store is having a sale and you have two coupons, consider purchasing two of the same thing to maximize your savings. This can be especially beneficial if your store is having a buy one get one free sale.

An Oregon man already serving 22 years in prison for bank robbery is accused of robbing a North Idaho bank at gunpoint in August 2010.
A grand jury on Tuesday indicted Bradley W. Monical, of Bend, for the Aug. 27, 2010, hold up of Wells Fargo, 114 E. Appleway in Coeur d'Alene.
Monical, 41, was sentenced in July 2011 to 22 years in prison for robbing a bank in Coos Bay, Ore., in April 2011.
Surveillance photos released by Coeur d'Alenepolice in August 2010 show a masked gunman wearing a bicycle helmet and denim shorts climbing on furniture at the bank. He had a cloth bag that said "Freedom is not free."
Employees said he told them to hurry while waving a large handgun. He left on a gray, three-speed bicycle.
It's unclear how authorities identified Monical as a suspect, but previous news reports say the FBI suspected him of being a serial robber.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, as well as three years of probation, if convicted.
Monical was convicted of armed robbery in Oregon in 1989 and at one point tried to be his own lawyer in the case in Coos Bay, according to the Coos Bay World.
PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Tampa Bay area man ordered a beer at a bar, left to rob a nearby bank then came back to finish his beer.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says 52-year-old John Robin Whittle was arrested at the Hayloft Bar in Port Richey on Dec. 22.
Deputies say he's the man who robbed a Wells-Fargo bank branch earlier, but not before stopping off at the Hayloft for a brew.
A bartender there says Whittle ordered a beer, disappeared for about 30 minutes and then returned to his beer. Deputies say they arrested him at the bar about 10 minutes after he left the bank.
Whittle remained in jail Dec. 23 on $10,000 bond. No attorney was listed for him.
A convicted pimp suspected of robbing nine banks in Oregon and Western Washington is in the Spokane jail.
Kevin Antoine Jones, 23, was arrested in Pullman Wednesday and appeared in U.S. District Court on Thursday.
He's awaiting transport back to Seattle. Jones is charged with four counts of bank robbery for hold ups Oct. 16 at U.S. Bank in Tukwila and Wells Fargo in Des Moines, Oct. 18 at U.S. Bank in Seattle and Oct. 19 at Chase Bank in Des Moines.
He's also suspected of robberies Nov. 5 at a U.S. Bank in Portland, and Nov. 6 at a U.S. Bank in Gresham, Bank of the West and Wells Fargo in Troutdale.
Also suspected is Isaiah Jordan Summers, who is in custody.
The two were arrested after a robbery at Columbia Bank in Milton, Wash,., on Nov. 8.
It's unclear why Jones was released from custody, but he was featured on Washington's Most Wanted Feb. 25 and 26.
A viewer's tip led to his arrest at an apartment in 1800 block of Northwest Lamont Drive in Pullman after a brief SWAT team standoff.
Jones has prior convictions for promoting prostitution and gun possession, according to Washington's Most Wanted.
A reward is being offered for tips that identify a suspect ina bomb threat at North Idaho elementary school last fall that police believe may be connected to a bank robbery.
A man believed to be in his 20s called a bomb threat into the main office at Garwood Elementary School on Oct. 21 at 10:30 a.m.
About an hour later, a masked gunman robbed Wells Fargo Bank, 16234 North Highway 41 in Rathdrum.
The robber, who police believe was alone, is described as a white man in his 20s, 5-foot-5 with a thin to medium build. He drove away southbound on Highway 41 to westbound Highway 53 in a two-door silver compact car, possibly a newer Honda, that was parked in the bank lot.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or submit tips online.
A gunman in a large parka and an orange ski mask robbed a bank in Rathdrum Thursday.
Surveillance photos show the man entering the Wells Fargo, 16234 North Highway 41, at 11:37 a.m. Police say he pointed a gun at a teller and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The robber, who police believe was alone, is described as a white man in his 20s, 5-foot-5 with a thin to medium build.
He drove away southbound on Highway 41 to westbound Highway 53 in a two-door silver compact car, possibly a newer Honda, that was parked in the bank parking lot.
Anyone with information is asked to call Rathdrum police at (208) 687-0711 or the Coeur d'Alene division of the FBI at (208) 664-5128.
The robbery occurred about 40 minutes after a bomb threat was called into Garwood Elementary School, which is about five miles from the bank, but police do not know if the incidents are related.

PULIH- Promoting Recovery for Women Post Violence and Disaster
Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world, and yet very little information about the country is known in the international sphere. Some know that we are a Muslim majority nation, but we are not a Muslim country. Our archipelago includes more than 13 thousand islands- we stretch from the tsunami affected Aceh province in Sumatra to the West Papuan province which borders with Papua New Guinea.
I co-founded PULIH Center for Trauma Recovery and Psychosocial Intervention in Jakarta in 2002. It is a national non-profit organization staffed by psychologists, social workers, community counselors and community workers. As a psychologist, I was concerned that there were not many psychological service providers for those affected by violence and disaster. Women and children were affected by different types of violence everyday and were in need to have gender-sensitive services by psychologists and counsellors that understand the gender dimension of gender based violence. In disaster settings, women and children need special care and support, and many disaster relief efforts often overlook specific women's needs.
In Jakarta, we have a center that provides individual, group and family counselling for survivors of violence. Our center also provides expert witness testimony in the Indonesian court on psychological impacts of violence. We also provide psychosocial support for humanitarian workers and human rights defenders.
In Banda Aceh where we have been working prior to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, we work more on community level interventions with women. Our women's division post tsunami worked with women who were displaced by the worst disaster in world history, assisting them in adjusting to their more permanent housing, identifying topics that promote women's empowerment for community discussions,promoting more equality partnership in marriages, setting up support and income generating groups so women can recover in all aspects, physically, psychologically, spiritually and economically.
We believe in identifying community and individual resilience mechanisms that are culturally sensitive in different areas that we work with. For more information on PULIH, please visit our website: www.pulih.or.id
Internally Displaced Women that we have worked with have reported greater self confidence, increased ability to be community organizers and have become community leaders. In our urban setting, in Jakarta, women who received our services were more aware of safety promoting behaviors, understood that the cycle of violence can be broken so that women can live lives free of violence.
My vision for the future is to establish many more PULIH offices in different parts of Indonesia. We are a vast country and we currently have 2 offices in Jakarta and Banda Aceh. I am hopeful to realize this vision in the next 5 years.
great work
Thank you for sharing information about PULIH. Wow! Powerful work! You are empowering and aiding women, at times when they are most vulnerable. Keep up the amazing work.
Kind Regards,
Great work
Hello Livia,
It is great to read about the wonderful work you are doing at PULIH to provide psychological and social support to those affected by disaster and violence.
I hope you are able to realise your vision of establishing more offices in the next few years.
Best wishes,
