Pharmacy system
- Published:
- 09 April 2013
- Modified:
- 18 July 2013
Most medicines require a prescription from your GP after a personal consultation. You can fill this prescription at your local pharmacy or apotheek.
The pharmacy registers your insurance details, provides you with usage instructions and informs you about possible side effects. Pharmacies are open during the week and sometimes on Saturdays.
Over-the-counter drugs like non-prescription cough syrup, vitamins, pain relievers and homeopathic medicines can be obtained at a pharmacy but may be cheaper at a drug store (drogist).
Emergency pharmacist
The SMASH (Stichting Mobiele Artsen Service Haaglanden) service for GP treatment outside office hours has its own emergency pharmacist where you can collect the prescribed medication.
Two emergency after-hours pharmacies (spoedapotheken) in The Hague region have fixed hours of operation. They are meant only for emergency prescription medication and not for refills. Please bear in mind that you may have to pay a surcharge for non-emergency medication. Please go to www.dienstapotheekdenhaag.nl for the opening hours and locations.
Medications from home
The medicines in the Netherlands are not always the same medicines prescribed in other countries. If you are taking medication prescribed to you in another country, it is best to show these to your doctor and/or pharmacist and they can find you an appropriate alternative.
Always use the same pharmacist
You can choose which pharmacy you want to use. You'll find telephone numbers and addresses in the telephone book and yellow pages or on the website www.apotheek.nl (Go to Zoek een apotheek). It's best to always use the same pharmacist, as they'll know what medicines you're currently taking and can advise on combinations and interactions.
Your health insurance, or zorgverzekering, should cover the costs of your medicine; however, this depends on the type of medication and/or your coverage. Always show your insurance card with your prescription. If you are insured in your home country or if you are residing here and have foreign insurance due to your work status, the Dutch pharmacist will in most instances ask for cash payment. You can then submit the bill to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Just like a doctor, the pharmacist also is bound by a confidentiality agreement with his customers.

Download WhitepaperWhy Cisco and Citrix
Give your IT Organization the efficiency, scalability, and security required for successful virtual desktop deployments. Cisco Desktop Virtualization solutions, combined with industry-leading Citrix XenDesktop software, can accelerate desktop virtualization and VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) adoption.
These solutions help enable IT to provide users with a productive, mobile, and highly secure work environment anywhere on multiple devices. They do so through a set of scalable, simplified, and cost-effective data center infrastructures tailored to different delivery models, use cases, and scalability requirements.
Cisco UCS and Desktop Virtualization
Delivered as a core building block of Cisco Desktop Virtualization solutions, the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is ideally suited for hosting desktop and application virtualization by providing:
- Simplified operations for greater agility
- Massive modular scalability
- Lower operations and infrastructure costs
- Superior deterministic performance
Desktop IT managers can now benefit from the combined strengths of Cisco UCS and Citrix XenDesktop. Deploy and easily scale virtual desktops, free of the guesswork traditionally associated with sizing, installing, and expanding virtual infrastructure.
Customers of all sizes who want to implement desktop virtualization can confidently deploy a "day-1" infrastructure that provides an optimized balance of memory, I/O capacity, and CPU processing power. The result is a price-to performance ratio that delivers significantly lower incremental costs as virtual desktop seats are added.
With Cisco and Citrix solutions, desktops can easily be delivered as a service from a single integrated platform. Now IT can quickly scale up and down desktop services on demand to meet changing business needs and proactively protect against unplanned downtime.

Cataclysm Class Changes: Mage Analysis {WoW}
Apr 12th 2010 4:16AM This is what I imagine with frost:
As you stand and cast, you gain a stacking buff that will increase the damage on other spells. You might turn and cast... frostfire bolt? Certainly some arcane missiles, at least.
In PvP you have the same damage potential, but no one is going to let your frost mageness sit and cast. PvP is balanced by the need to move and cast controlling spells, which limits your ability to get a lot of stacks. If you've been moving for __ seconds, you might lose the buff altogether.
In my vision, frost does excellent damage in PvE, and while it has the same damage POTENTIAL in PvP, the ACTUAL damage output would be lower than other specs due to the factors I've described above.
But hell, it's probably nothing like that.
Arcane Brilliance: An argument for raiding as a frost mage {WoW}
Mar 7th 2010 5:48AM Thomas,
You laid out a logical argument that left almost no room for debate. I was going to post this same thought, but you said it as well as anyone could have.
It's the same deal for gear. Sure, a great mage in blues and greens could beat a terrible mage in epics, but you don't bring a mage in blues and greens to kill the Lich King, regardless of how much skill he/she has.
Give a good mage a good spec and good gear, and he's that much better. There's no need to cripple our DPS in the name of originality.
I do think that Christian has a point in mentioning frost's survivability. I know that my well-geared mage still likes to die first on Stinky :)
Upcoming Adjustments announced for Old Kingdom, Nexus, Culling of Stratholme {WoW}
Jan 12th 2010 5:30AM I agree that that we should understand the limitation on some players' time. For that reason, I always suggest skipping all the bosses my group can. This is much more efficient in terms of badges per minute.
Spider-Man 4 canceled; Warcraft movie soon? {WoW}
Jan 12th 2010 5:22AM Do you even know who Ayn Rand is? Who are you talking to? I don't see anyone advocating doing things in his/her rational self interest.
Either you're in the wrong thread or you're an idiot.
Prot Warrior nerf details {WoW}
Jan 10th 2010 12:41PM Luminousnerd reached the point where people just didn't want to hear from him anymore, and they had plenty of reasons for that. No one wants to listen to a troll, even if he's sowwy :(
As for the warrior nerf, I'm sad... and relieved... but mostly sad. I don't play a warrior (yet), but we have a warrior tank. I love that he can do all his charging and breaking free.
On the other hand, my fights with prot warriors were amazingly frustrating when I was playing a caster. Casters only have a set number of ways to get away. Smart prot warriors are among the hardest players to keep away - they're right up there with rogues in that regard.
Anyway, the caster vs. prot fight was a real hard one to win, especially if the warrior knew when to spell reflect. Hint: very few did.
But don't nerf my raid tank! I'm with the guy who said we should separate arenas from the rest of the game. It's even harmed arena players, because the community is so competitive and hyper-sensitive to class balance. They're even more picky than damage dealers who aren't happy with being 200 DPS away from the top.
Breakfast Topic: The effect of nerfs and buffs {WoW}
Jan 10th 2010 12:14PM Wow, I am surprised to have read so many mature comments. I was expecting a thread full of posts like "Blizzard has totally ruined my game. It's not fun for me anymore because I will lose 5% damage."
I'm glad to hear there are people out there who are actually PLAYING this game.

I have test areas of SW believable buff and softer tan on my wall. The believeable buff is alittle too "gold" and the softer tan is not warm enough. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try mixing your own from small portions of the two. If you like it, you can try to have it color matched. Dilute the gold or warm up the buff. |

It's all playoff beard, all the time* this time of year. A subject so near and dear to people's hockey hearts, I only dare to tread around the edges of it.
*except for the other 90% of the time when it's all hits to the head and Shanabanning.
Hockey hair, on the other hand, is a year round thing. And even though the mullet has effectively been mocked out of existence, the follicles of NHLers all around the league still bless us with the occasional case of obsession-worthy flow.
Let's start broad and work our way down my list of hockey hair that has stuck with me this season like a bad habit.
A couple of years ago, some fellow goaliephiles and I were trying to come up with a name for the wild tufts of hair that poke out of the ventilation holes in some goalies' masks. The name that stuck was twisps.
Twisps are adorable, and I clap like a trained seal and giggle with glee every time I catch a goalie sporting really great twisp. I don't know why. It's just hair sticking out of a hole, but they were squee-worthy the first time I noticed them and have been ever since.
Steven Stamkos' Disco Hair
Until recently, I'd really only appreciated young Stammer's actual hockey skills. His pin-point accurate shot is an absolute goalie nightmare and the kid is just a rosy-cheeked beast.
But I guess he finally got enough face time during this year's All Star festivities, and had the flow going just so, that he ended up being a bit of a revelation to me for non-hockey reasons.
I'm not even a fan of long hair on guys, but for months now, I've been swooning at his easy, laid-back, "Hey bunny, I'm an Aquarius. What's your favorite BeeGees song? I'm a 'Night Fever' guy myself" flow.
Maybe it's his baby-faced youth that lets him pull the look off so well, but whatever it is, stay foxy, Stammer. I dig it.
My Hair Twinkie, Hartsy
I spent the first 30 years of my life fighting my natural curls, but I would straighten, it would frizz in this Texas humidity, and I would look like a troll doll.
Now, I embrace it. I'm the curly red-head whose life is spent in pursuit of the perfect curl-defining potion. And I'm sad to admit that some days, I wake up after a particularly rough night, no makeup on, look in the mirror and think, "OMG, I look like Scotty Hartnell."
*sigh* Not that he's a bad looking man, but, well, you know… I'm aiming for woman.
Anyway, Scooter also caught my attention at the All Star game on draft night, when HIS ginger curls were absolute perfection – individual ringlets that made Shirley Temple look like a rank amateur.
Anybody who's been to the locker room with me can tell you that I am an abysmal interviewer of hockey players. I get tongue tied and can't think of any questions to ask, or if I do, I forget them as soon as the player walks up.
But I guarantee, given the chance, I could spend 15 minutes with Scotty talking hair and not miss a beat. Be forewarned: there would be fondling (of the hair variety, of course). I hope he's up for it. I'm guessing he is. I feel like this needs to happen.
OooLaLa Letang Hair
As I mentioned earlier, not a big fan of the long hair. Especially when it's kinda greasy looking. Enter Kris Letang.
The other night during one of the Pittsburgh/Philly Cage Fighting Death Matches we're calling a playoff series, there was a time-out. Letang was standing by the net and someone skated by creating a bit of breeze that gently wafted his flowing locks.
And in that moment, angels sang, and I understood Letang Hair.
Motion is the key to Letang Hair, folks. Like windchimes, that mane sings best in a gentle breeze. If you want to say, "Sweet motherluvin' mercy" about 5 times while looking at GIFs of Letang Hair in motion, this blog wrote the book on the subject.
Never stop moving, Tanger. Never. Stop. Moving.
Gellin' Todd McLellan
My dog (and probably your dog, too) seems to need to lick anything to fully understand it. The floor, the couch, people, toys, pillows, people, other dogs, people.
It's like, "I see that there, but I don't really get it, so I'm going to run my tongue over it. *lick* Oh, okay. A bit dry, soft, probably not food. Moving on."
Now, I don't want to lick Big Mac's hair, but I'm DYING to touch it.
It's so dense and salt-and-peppery and thick. Is it course? Is it soft? Does it move in the wind or is it still like helmet hair? Does it snap back into that "strong wind from behind" stance if you brush it backward? Is it prickly? Is it a crap-ton of really fine hair or a regular amount of really thick hair?
Yeah, so I really want to touch your hair, Coach. I'm sorry if that's weird.
Pure Bred MacLean
Venturing south a little bit, I'm throwing an honorable mention in the Obsession-Worthy Hair Olympics to Paul MacLean's mustache.
I suspect his great-grandfather was a Kerry Blue Terrier.
I'm mesmerized by that stache. I wonder if he has to suppress an urge to chase cars. I double-dog dare someone to scratch him behind the ear to check for involuntary leg movements. Woof.
So, that's probably enough — perhaps more than enough — hair obsession confession. Who'd I miss? Whose hair makes you double-take or swoon and why?

We transplanted a wild passion vine and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. These pictures show our experience with the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly and the vine. It was so exciting to learn firsthand about the life cycle of the Gulf Frit! However, next year we are going to provide the butterfly with another vine in a different location... somewhere near the back of the yard... way back. |

Great photo dairy! Thank you for sharing it. The last photo left me with my mouth hanging open! I have just returned from a visit to the west coast where my DIL has hundreds of these butterflies on a passiflora. She will be most upset if they denude the vines as your guests have done. I suspect that they will happily find whatever you have there for them. Good luck! spiderwoman |
I really enjoyed the album -- its wonderful that you appreciate the butterflies, rather than BT'ing them to death just to save leaves! I'm planning to plant some passiflora for the express purpose of hosting gulf frits, hope i have the same success you do! |
Gulf fritillaries is how I got into passiflora. One thing I did learn--the more vines you plant, the more fritillaries you will get. There are other passionvines that caterpillars don't eat--but many of my 30+ varieties were stripped bare. It's kind of a love-hate relationship! We just visited the Houston Museum of Natural History's butterfly house. Very interesting and educational. flicker |
I have a MG vine thats wild that they de leafed.it still bloomed though.I look at it as they are saveing me water on the plant.it has some scraps of leaves.The mimosa tree in that spot died and we cut it down.something was wrong with tree,but did have one trunk that still bloomed and tree would be covered with them.They'll land on pond lilly pads for a drink.They are hard to shoot pics of,unless on a zinnia.i keep a snadbirdbath wet for them.it does have a few things sprout from time to time....and I sprouted a iris seed. |

So - I'm considering a freestanding BS or CC 36" AG range.
I want open burners, and feel comfortable that both CC and BS offer powerful enough and simmerable enough burners to satisfy my needs. However... the (gas) ovens is where I'm struggling at. BS - I've read that the ovens are good, but they're hot. I'm looking into that further. CC - please help me here!
1) Racks and the Broiler:
2) Uneven heating:
And finally - other than hot on the outside, (which might be solved with a good hood), are there any complaints about the BS's oven? So.. to summarize - BS vs. CC when it comes to the gas oven....
BS's oven is hot on the outside, but functions better than the CC on the inside as an oven (even heating) and broiler (due to rack placement).
Thanks for your time |
Follow-Up Postings:
The problem regarding placement of the racks in the manual clean oven were resolved quite some time ago.The self-clean oven never had this issue. Are the easy-glide racks in the Capital as good as the Wolf? No,absolutely not. But it is as good or better range in every other respect. Are the Capital easy glide racks wimpy? Not IMO. I own a self-clean CC. I have read two reports of uneven heating in the CC. One was a cooling fan not working properly and the other the glass seal on the oven door was broken/improperly installed. The first was resolved to customer satisfaction the latter I did not read a resolution post from the owner. Maybe there are more but that is what I recall. IMO the CC oven is as good as any range oven other than the electric oven in Wolf DF. I have posted something akin to the CC oven being acceptable vs the Wolf electric and Gaggenau wall oven. I place all other gas ovens in pro-style ranges in this class. Or worse in the unacceptable class:) |

I can't comment on Bluestar (other than that I understand it to be a very fine product) but I am one of the posters who had problems w/ my CC oven. It was a minor problem that required an adjustment and it is now performing beautifully. I couldn't recommend it enough. I also find the broiling capabilities to be outstanding. After spending the $ on this range, I'd be very vocal about shortcomings, but I think the CC is an excellent product and a fine culinary tool. Attached is a link to my 'resolution' post in the 'Capital Culinarian Problems' thread. |
Here is a link that might be useful: LINK to RESOLUTION of CC Oven Problem
Thanks BrightFutureFoods and deeageaux for addressing my concerns. BrightFutureFoods, do you own a manual or self clean? If manual, then would you concur with deeageaux that the problem with the placement of racks near the broiler (either being too close or too far), has been resolved? And deegeaux, how do you like the rotisserie function? (someone complained that the bird cooked crispy on the outside and undercooked on the inside)... have you had better success? (I'm real close to eliminating all my concerns on this one! :-) |
I can address your question regarding the rotisserie. I believe the poster you referred to was speaking about a turkey. Turkeys are too large to use the broiler for the whole cook. You need to either start or finish with the broiler. For most of the roast, you have to use the oven. The rotisserie action will allow the bird to self-baste. Chicken, on the other hand, can be under the broiler the whole cook. It only takes about an hour and it comes out very well. You can also let the bird(s) come to room temp before putting on he spit. That helps ensure the inside will cook evenly. I also truss the birds. |
I have a manual-clean 36" CC. How can I help address your concerns about rack placement? We're not massive broiler-users so I'm not sure I can help too much but I'm happy to try. I broiled thick lamb chops fine -- the rack-placement did seem squirelly to me at the time, as if I had to get them too far from the broiler, but that thing gets so hot it was more than fine. I don't even really remember the trauma about the broiling height while the memory of more-perfect-grilling-than-I've-ever-achieved stands out well. I'm happy to measure something if that will help. It seems to me that just the thickness of what you happen to be broiling will make all the difference though. It may be important to note approx when your machine was bought as I think they may have changed the racks and/or be thinking of doing so in the future. Mine was purchased approx, um, Jan-Feb2011 I think? I must say I don't love the racks on my oven, but I'm willing to believe there is a long learning curve with them. They are certainly not wimpy. I was under the impression the rolling racks were standard on all machines, but I was wrong and this misimpression was wholly my fault -- unfortunately. I had failed to do my due diligence on the matter; nevertheless I was and continue to be disappointed. Again, I have no justification for this though! Still, I do find the racks more "discontinuous" in placement than I'd like. However, as I've learned to preheat the oven better than formerly, this rack placement becomes less important. That is, preheating enough and churning the air around with the fan result in no discernible issue, to me, about food cooked at a mid-level height that strikes my eye as less-than-optimal. That is, I would prefer more placement options to jibe with some ingrained sense of where those cookies 'should' be placed, and yet, I don't see any problems attributable to their ultimate placement. When I've encountered problems, this seems more to do with my fear-of-preheating. Oh yes, I also broiled a lasagna top and that seemed to have to be placed too low but my unease was very wrong. Even as low as I had to put it, that thing browned the top in seconds, perfectly, deeply, gorgeously. Wow. That was amazing. My efforts in a former life at browning lasagnas were always a disaster, waiting forever, nothing happening, sometimes burning, usually, just melting into a mess with no brown ... so awful I rarely take the time to brown a casserole top, but using the CC is an entirely different kettle of fish, so to speak. Let me know if you want me to measure something please. |
I have a 48" Bluestar with a large and small oven. The oven doors get warm on the outside, yes. Many here (with kids, pets, etc) have posted that they don't find it to be problematic. As for performance, I have never been anything but amazed at how well both ovens work. Everything I have cooked in them has come out brilliantly regardless of placement in the oven. From lasagna, to venison jerky, to challah, to roasting my own peanuts, to braised pork shoulder, to marshmallow, to meringue, to sponge cake to candied pecans. I consider the broiler to be equally high performing. Everything I have put under it has browned very quickly. It's almost more like a salamander. From Nachos to creme brulee to fritatta to steak. Just my experiences. -Stooxie |
Sigh.. just when I thought I had it all resolved ;-) Stooxie - my concern with the hot doors is not so much getting hurt, but rather.. dealing with the heat expended into the kitchen. I'm coming from the perspective of just having experienced 3 consecutive days of 95 deg. in NYC, and in our homes here, there isn't much cross ventilation... Do you find that to be a problem, even with a good overhead vent? |
I put my hand on a BS that had been running at around 350 for about an hour, and it was hot. As in, yank your hand away and say "ow!" Also, I don't remember seeing any safety-type complaints about the CC compared to the BS, with spontaneous fires, gas smells, ka-booms and the like. I do think BS has better burners, IMO, but I wouldn't want the oven in my house. |
But as always I think there's a time component to these assessments. I understand, maybe, the BS is different now from formerly. I know CC is tweaking things constantly and they make those things one by one so changes could potentially be implemented quite frequently, I think (someone will correct this last claim if it's wrong). Thus ... I think if you're worried about the oven door issue you should find a store with a live oven of each sort, specify temperature and time on and go place your very own hand on each. Or something. Point is, there are just a lot of variables to juggle, so direct comparisons are difficult to make fairly. And BTW, if you do find stores with these live machines in them, you should ask when the machines were acquired. I imagine stores may well show units for many long years and that door problem fix was probably relatively recent. -Why do I feel like we should all sign off with a moniker that labels our own appliance ownership? For the record, I have a CC, like it with reservations, think Capitol's CS is running as fast as the Red Queen. over. |
I've had a perfectly great working Bluestar for 5 years now. And I bake a fair amount of bread and pizza at high heat. I've never noticed any heat build up at the top of the oven door, or handle area, or knobs. Only near the bottom will it get hot. But it's never been an issue. The top burners have been fantastic, and I appreciate the star pattern burners of various sizes. No matter how low you attempt to turn down or adjust another brand's burners, if it has 3 times as many flames as the Bluestar burner, it's going to be putting out 3 times the amount of heat of the smaller Bluestar burner set to simmer. I also like that smaller burner for small sauce pots, even when set on Medium or High, the flames will not engulf the small pan as would be the case with a C.C. Some of the other brands have too small a simmer (Wolf and others) and it just creates one small hot spot. But the Bluestar simmer is just perfect. The oven bakes evenly, I don't have to rotate the cookie sheets and the I.R. broiler is flush with the top of the oven- and I use that all the time as well. The racks slide on thick chrome rack guides (versus dents in the sheet metal oven sides of some ranges) and the lower one is on a gliding bearing system. I love that the entire stove top is porcelain cast iron, no thin sheet metal. I've never had a broken or cracked ignitor either, and if they get dirty I clean them with a toothbrush and some baking powder. Having had an older model, at one time I had a problem with the oven door hinges sticking, but Bluestar sent me a replacement door with the newer upgraded hinges. So I have only good to say about this range. |
"...the flames will not engulf the small pan as would be the case with a C.C." Practically speaking, you would never need to turn a high BTU burner on full with a small pan to be effective. The CC burner from hole-to-hole is 4.75" and edge-to-edge is 5.25". The inner ring points inward. All you need is enough of a flame to not engulf the pot. To that end, you have the full range of the burner at your disposal to accomplish that. And that's on every burner. My smallest saucepan is 6" and it boils very quickly. At medium to medium high, I'm guessing that it's getting more than 8K BTU but way less than 23K. When I make a small amount of oatmeal, a cup of water will come to a boil before I'm even done measuring all the dry ingredients. And that's without engulfing the pot in flames. While you might make the case that a pot smaller than 5.5" might be an issue, the reality is that the smaller the cooking vessel, the less heat you need to get the job done. JMHO. |
I've been paying attention to the time it takes for pots to boil their contents and am discovering that the shape and content of the pan matters a lot. This is probably not news to an engineer/physicist, but I hadn't appreciated how important it is. I mention it here because jiggling one's cookware may be a whole lot more cost-effective than changing out the stove! Or even making buying decisions based on it. |
alexr- Some of the other brands have too small a simmer (Wolf and others) and it just creates one small hot spot. Just to clarify I don't think Wolf has the semi sealed burners with the smaller simmer burner anymore. They are all sealed and are the stacked burners with a simmer burner under the regular burner. It is the full width of the top burner. See the link below. But if you have a half way decent pot that conducts heat well, it won't matter anyway. I've been paying attention to the time it takes for pots to boil their contents and am discovering that the shape and content of the pan matters a lot. This is probably not news to an engineer/physicist, but I hadn't appreciated how important it is. I mention it here because jiggling one's cookware may be a whole lot more cost-effective than changing out the stove! Or even making buying decisions based on it. Exactly. That is why claims one burner produces the most even heat is silliness. It all depends on what you are heating. |

Discussion seems to have veered off-topic, but i'm going to pile on anyway! The CC burners simmer fairly well, but it's definitely not it's strong suit, let's be honest here. It's not a delicate simmer w/o a simmer plate but I use ALL of my burners and don't want a dedicated simmer burner (although I can understand why some would and think it should be an option). The burners handle small pots just fine flame-wise, although sometimes my smallest saucepan will tip over into the large spaces on the burner grates. It's not enough of an annoyance that i'd want Capital to change the grates as I like the big, beefy cast grates as compared to the daintier ones like Thermador and others use. A small pan grate "option," however, would be nice that you could swap out just like the Wok grate (which is fantastic BTW). To each his/her own and enjoy the cooking! -BFF |
I've noticed on C.C. that the outer flames shoot out at an angle not straight up- especially as the gas is turned up- and that is also why the flames can engulf the small pans. |

The Importance of the CryptoParty
12:05 pm in Uncategorized by Bat Country Word
Originally published in The Bat Country Word
CryptoParty is a decentralized, global initiative to introduce basic cryptography tools – such as the Tor anonymity network, public key encryption (PGP/GPG), and OTR (Off The Record messaging) – to the general public.
Now you may be asking yourself, "Why does the general public need encryption?" The "why" of it all could yield a series of articles stretching from now until my digits have become worn to bloody nubs. Since that is not our intention here we will focus on just a few examples. See if you can identify why you'll want to guarantee your online privacy even if, as the old privacy-invasion myth goes, "you're not doing anything wrong, so you don't have anything to hide."
Data Retention
Put quite simply, data retention is the storage of digital communications for later analysis. Data Retention in itself is nothing new and many ISPs have engaged in the practice for some time now. However, what has become alarming recently is the prevalence of government policies (usually administered by spy agencies like the NSA and FBI) that compel service providers to turn over your data, and the ease in which they are able to do it. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to defending digital rights, "Law enforcement agencies throughout the world are pushing for invasive laws that force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecom providers to continuously collect and store records documenting the online activities of millions of ordinary users… Government mandated data retention impacts millions of ordinary users compromising online anonymity which is crucial for whistle-blowers, investigators, journalists, and those engaging in political speech. National data retention laws are invasive, costly, and damage the right to privacy and free expression. They compel ISPs and telcos to create large databases of information about who communicates with whom via Internet or phone, the duration of the exchange, and the users' location. These regimes require that your IP address be collected and retained for every step you make online. Privacy risks increase as these databases become vulnerable to theft and accidental disclosure."
Utah Data Center
We would not waste your time with some half-baked conspiracy nonsense. We are focusing on examples of well documented data retention that affects everyone. Certainly the most glaring example for the U.S. would be the Utah Data Center. The NSA facility features servers with storage capabilities that can be measured in yottabytes of data. The yottabyte is equal to one quadrillion gigabytes.
According to an April 2012 Wired article, "[F]or the first time since Watergate and the other scandals of the Nixon administration the NSA has turned its surveillance apparatus on the US and its citizens. It has established listening posts throughout the nation to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas. It has created a supercomputer of almost unimaginable speed to look for patterns and unscramble codes. Finally, the agency has begun building a place to store all the trillions of words and thoughts and whispers captured in its electronic net. And, of course, it's all being done in secret. To those on the inside, the old adage that NSA stands for Never Say Anything applies more than ever."

Planting Trees for Tu Bishvat
This act has always been held in high regard in Judaism.
As a result of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) reforestation projects in Israel, the land once desert now supports successful farming endeavors, and millions of trees cover the hills. Visitors to Israel, on Tu Bishvat or at other times, can participate in the Plant a Tree with Your Own Hands Program. A popular alternative is to purchase tree certificates, through local and national JNF and Hadassah offices.
Each inexpensive certificate represents one tree planted in Israel in memory or honor of an individual or on a special occasion. (Only large plantings, not individual trees, are actually designated on site.)Outside Israel, symbolic plantings are often done for the holiday, with trees planted in one's yard or community, or houseplants started from seeds, particularly parsley, which will sprout in time for Passover.

If you go to google and type in sydney 2009 world master games, it will take you to the link.
If you cant find it let me know and I will try to forward the site as I have it on my favorites list.
Remember though I am a challenged individual when it comes to this internet stuff

Ciao! I'm Sabrina Imundo; and this is the result of being a foodie and a designer. This column will act as a vehicle to provide students and the community with inexpensive and/or fast recipes. At times this column may have an Italian flare, but that only makes sense since I am a third generation Italian-American. A lot of these recipes are from my family: some have been passed down to me while others are ones that we have created together or have been things I experimented with on a college budget. The majority of these recipes will have meat in them, however some will be vegetarian or vegan friendly, or could be adapted to those diets, just look for the indicators. Speaking of indicators, there will be one that indicates the cost of the meal. When I figured the cost of the meal I did not include 'staple' pantry items. These items are not factored into cost: soups/broths, flour, sugar, spices, sugar, eggs, milk, olive oil.
Here are the indicators for this column:
Chicken Bruschetta Sandwiches:

This dish is inspired by a classic Italian appetizer. Bruschetta is a colorfully layered dish of bread, prosciutto (a dry-cured ham), basil, garlic, tomatoes and mozzarella. This sandwich incorporates all those elements on a larger scale along with some chicken.
French bread sandwich rolls or a pane of French bread, sliced three-quarters of the way through the middle
1/4 cup olive oil or 6 tablespoons of butter 2 cloves garlic, minced Dried oregano, to taste Dried parsley, to taste
12 large fresh basil leaves 2 tomatoes, sliced Three oz package, or 6 slices of prosciutto (optional)** 2 cups pre-cooked chicken strips, (thawed if frozen) Package of sliced mozzarella cheese (minimum of six slices) Bottle of balsamic vinaigrette (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Evenly coat inside of bread with olive oil. If using butter, place a half-tablespoon of butter on each roll. Season rolls to taste with dried oregano and dried parsley. Distribute minced garlic evenly among each sandwich roll. Bake in oven for five minutes.
Remove from oven. Place two large basil leaves on one side of sandwich rolls so that they cover bread surface. Place two tomato slices on the basil leaves. Layer one slice of prosciutto on each sandwich. Add desired amount of chicken to each sandwich, and add desired amount of mozzarella cheese to cover all other ingredients. Bake 10 minutes. Just before serving brush or pour on one tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette to the inside of the sandwich. If desired, more balsamic vinaigrette could be used as a dipping sauce for the sandwich.
