Painted this little sign. Had a problem with a "blob" of black paint! Got most of it off luckily, but her face is still a bit more "shadowed" than I had meant for it to be! I thought I had ruined it for sure, but think she will be fine to use out in the yard.

Luvs, darling kitty plaque. I'm so glad you got the black paint removed or covered up. I so wish I would get the paintin' bug but for some reason it's not happening. Hope Belle will share all her paintings she's doing for the show. I love seeing all of your creations and thanks everyone for keeping things moving on here during my slump time. Punk |

Luvs...that kitty is so cute. I love it. I second what Punk says. I love to see what everyone is doing. Marylee |
Luvs....Adorable! And what blob? I love the expression on the cat, like "what do I do now?" TY for sharing and keep them coming! Belle |

Thanks ladies, I keep looking at other patterns and thinking how cute they are--need to just get busy and paint some of them. I can sure tell I've not been painting very much lately--having a hard time even deciding which brush I want to use! It really is true that practice makes perfect--I need lots more practice now. Belle, did you get the Paintworks magazine yet? Got mine yesterday. Only about three projects that even appealed to me! I'm still so disappointed about losing Painting and Quick and Easy Painting. I don't like having to go to the website to print off patterns either. Can you tell I'm not a happy camper about the changes???? LOL Marylee, you always make the nicest comments. Thank you for being so supportive. So tell us more about you, what you like to do, what part of the country you live in, etc. |
You always pic the cutest patterns. Is this Renee Mullins? Looks like her birds. ha It looks great to me and I know all your visitors will love it! Glad to see you painting again!! =) ~Anj |
Luvs...I was so impressed with PaintWorks that I can't remember one project! Belle |

Belle, you are too funny! But it's the truth, and I used to eagerly await my painting magazines, one more loss to add to my disappointment list! LOL Anj, yes, it's from a Renee Mullins design. Sure wish I could paint as good as she does though. How are you doing? Busy, busy as usual? Luvs |
Your kitty is adorable. :-) Am I the only one here who still like PaintWorks magazine? I also do landscape/seascapes and wildlife on canvas so I liked the new PaintWorks magazine. Maybe the next issue will appeal to you....it will be the annual ornament issue. frannie |

Kraftymom, I can see why you would like it if you paint lots of landscapes--they've had quite a few nice ones. How do you display all your landscapes? Do you do them on canvases or also on other surfaces? I've never gotten into painting them because I couldn't figure out where to use them, only so much room for pictures on the wall! Yes, I'm hoping I will enjoy more in the Halloween and Christmas editions. If I were to choose between the two, I'd keep Paintworks over Crafts and Things, but so far not crazy about either one. We'll see. Luvs |

#148 {title:Sounds of Silence} {st:Paul Simon} H[Am]ello darkness my old fri[G]end, I've come to talk with you ag[Am]ain. Because a vi[C]sion softl[F]y creep[C]ing Left it's seed while I w[F]as sleep[C]ing, And the vis[F]ion that was planted in my br[C]ain Still rem[Am]ains Wit[C]hin the s[G]ounds of si[Am]lence. In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobble stone. 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp, When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sounds of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never shared, And no one dared Disturb the sounds of silence. "Fools!" said I, "you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell... And echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed To the neon gods they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming, And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." And whispered in the sounds of silence. # # 7 September 1992 Comments

[1762] The p53 Negative Regulator MDM4 Is Amplified and Over-Expressed in Hepatoblastoma
Angshumoy Roy, Kayuri U Patel, Kristy L Hamilton, Xinyan Lu, Milton J Finegold, Dolores Lopez-Terrada. Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Background: The p53 tumor suppressor pathway is inactivated in virtually all cancers. In many tumors, amplification or over-expression of MDM4 and MDM2 abolish the p53-mediated oncogenic stress response by inactivating the wild-type p53 protein. Restoring p53 function using inhibitors to disrupt the MDM4/MDM2/p53 interactions is a promising new therapeutic strategy.
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a highly aggressive neoplasm of childhood. While most HBs are managed with surgery and chemotherapy, no effective treatment exists for refractory and recurrent tumors. Since TP53 mutations are rare in HB, we posited that a systematic evaluation of MDM4 and MDM2 amplification and over-expression in HB may reveal a common mechanism of p53 inactivation and a potential therapeutic target.
Design: Archival specimens (n=26) were obtained with IRB approval. In cases with double minutes (dmins) on cytogenetics, spectral karyotyping (SKY) and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was used to fine-map the minimum genomic interval. FISH analyses with MDM4 and a chromosome 1q control probe were performed on 26 FFPE samples. 100 cells were counted and scored as amplification (>5 copies), copy-gain (3-4 copies), chromosome 1 polysomy (>2 copies of both probes), or normal.
Real-time qPCR for MDM4, MDM2 and p21 was performed on 21 frozen samples. Data in triplicate was normalized to GAPDH and plotted as fold-change compared to normal liver. MDM4 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
Results: In 2 HB cases with dmins, SKY and aCGH analyses mapped to a ∼1 Mb region on Chromosome 1q32.1 containing MDM4. MDM4 FISH analysis identified genomic amplification in 2 cases and copy gain in 8 cases (10/26 cases, 38.4%). Five additional cases had 1-2 extra copies of MDM4 and chromosome 1 polysomy. MDM4 expression was 2- to 53-fold up-regulated in 8/21 (38%) cases, including two cases without amplification or copy gain. Nuclear MDM4 protein was detected in amplified cases. MDM2 expression was however increased in only 1 case. Expression of the p53 transcriptional target, p21, was >2-fold down-regulated in 7/21 (33%) cases, suggesting p53 pathway suppression downstream of MDM4 over-expression.
Conclusions: MDM4 amplification/copy gain and over-expression, as detected by interphase FISH and qPCR, is a common mechanism by which wild-type p53 can get inactivated in HBs. In contrast, MDM2 over-expression is a rare event in our series. Our current studies are evaluating the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors in restoring p53 function in the HepG2 hepatoblastoma cell line.

Other Pets at Pack Leaders Rescue of Connecticut
Why Adoption is a Great Option
dancer in ct, a Manchester Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.
I have had my mixer for 5 years now. I love it. But, I have noticed the bolt holding the head of the mixer on is working itself out every time I make bread. I am not making the full limit of dough that this will hold either. It is the 325 watt model, a 4 1/2 quart bowl mixer. I have never had a minutes problem with it until I noticed this bolt working out every time I make bread. Has anyone else had this problem with the bolt holding the head of the mixer on? Thanks,

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Governor Chafee issued a statement Thursday morning in support of the work by the Route 195 Redevelopment District Commission, a day after his office declined comment to The Providence Journal about the commission's new policy regarding the confidentiality of proposed bids for public land.
"In regards to the development of the 195 land, we are striving to strike the proper balance between the public's right to know and the success of a project that is vital to Rhode Island," Chafee said in the statement. "It is our job to create an environment where we can obtain bids from the best companies to ensure the delivery of successful, quality ventures.
"I fully support the work of the 195 Commission, a board of responsible, civic-minded professionals. They are attempting to do the right thing for the future of our State."
The seven members of the commission are: Chairman Colin P. Kane, 47, of North Kingstown, principal of Peregrine Group LLC in East Providence; vice chairman John M. Kelly, 52, of Providence, president and CEO of Meeting Street School; Dr. Barrett W. Bready, 37, of Providence, president and CEO of NABsys Inc.; Barbara A.

Route Irish (15) | Close-Up Film Review
Dir. Ken Loach, UK/France/Italy/Belgium/Spain, 2010, 109 mins
Cast: Mark Womack, Andrea Lowe, John Bishop
Review by Carol Allen
This is a contemporary thriller with a powerful story, which throws a new light on the conflict in Iraq. Being a Ken Loach movie and written by his long term collaborator Paul Laverty, it also has a strong moral and political heart.
Fergus (Womack) comes home to his native Liverpool for the funeral of his childhood friend Frankie (Bishop), a former soldier, who like Fergus has been working as a private security contractor or mercenary soldier in Iraq and has been killed on the notorious "route Irish" of the title – the stretch of road between Baghdad airport and the Green Zone and "the most dangerous road in the world", as it is described at one point. But Fergus doesn't believe the official account of how his friend died and when he discovers footage on Frankie's mobile phone of the shooting of an Iraqi family a few days before his death, Fergus embarks on his own investigation to uncover the truth.
The film makes good use of relevant contemporary technology – mobile phone videos, Skype conversations and so on, combining grainy flashback footage of the action in Iraq with the downbeat cityscape of Liverpool, as Fergus pursues his investigation into the grubby and self serving role played by the commercial interests of the security firms, who until 2009 enjoyed an immunity from Iraqi law, which allowed them to indulge in all manner of abuse and profiteering. The verbal accounts and actual depictions of torture procedures used are appropriately gruelling. One of the most effective elements in terms of settings is Fergus's Liverpool home, a smart and flashy city apartment sparsely furnished with little more than a computer and a camp bed, giving it the look of belonging to a man who can't even commit to creating a home for himself and which tells us a lot about the character.
Womack is good as Fergus, Lowe brings some depth to the role of Frankie's confused widow Rachel and Bishop is effective as Frankie in flashback scenes. The most sympathetic and memorable character though is Southern Kurdistan musician Talib Rasool as Harem, an expatriate Iraqi, who reluctantly agrees to help Fergus. There are also good contributions from Jack Fortune as the smooth, ostensibly charming boss of the security firm, who has been making a fortune out of the war and Geoff Bell as the company's tough on the ground commander.
The details of the murky story that Fergus is unravelling are though sometimes difficult to follow, which works against our total engagement with the story, and the film overall lacks the pace and tension that we've come to expect from a commercial thriller. But this is a film which is using the thriller genre as a vehicle to say something close to the writer and director's heart. And it gathers momentum towards the end, when the security firm sends in their brutal bully boys to deal with the threat posed by Fergus's investigation. The closing scenes are horrifying and gripping and the ending shocking.

The Wildest Golden Globe Speeches of All Time (VIDEO)
Here are the seven Golden Globe speeches worth remembering ... whether the stars who actually made them remember or not:
Mickey Rourke accepted his Best Actor award for The Wrestler in 2009 in teary-eyed fashion, openly detailing how no one wanted him in their movie for years and how he was often alone with his dog. However, the lasting moment, as far as the F.C.C. was concerned, was director Darren Aronofsky giving a congratulatory flipping of the bird to the actor, which reportedly cost NBC a hefty sum.
Also at the 2009 Globes, Tracy Morgan accepted an award for 30 Rock with slightly slurred speech, and thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press for giving them the award because, "A black man can't get no love at the Emmys."
Earlier in that ceremony, Tina Fey accepted her award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, and she took the opportunity to boldly call out her internet haters: "Dianefan, you can suck it."
Winning Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical in 2007 put Sacha Baron Cohen in the mood to discuss his Borat co-star Ken Davitian's anus.
There was no stopping Jack Nicholson at the 2003 Golden Globes from commenting on anything he saw fit during his acceptance speech for About Schmidt. "Doesn't Nicole [Kidman] look lovely with her old nose?" he asked the audience shortly before likening his co-star Kathy Bates to the "Bates Motel."
In 1998, Michael J. Fox was left hanging by Christina Lahti, who won Best Actress in a TV Series but was in the bathroom when the award was announced. Could it be that alcohol played a role in this debacle? When she finally did arrive on stage, her hair was disheveled and she said, "I was just flushing the toilet and someone said, 'You won,' and I thought they were joking."
Colin Farrell was all sniffles when presenting the award for Best Foreign Film in 2009 after he'd already won Best Actor that night for In Bruges. His explanation? "I have a cold. It's not the other thing it used to be."
Which stars do you think (or hope) will produce a memorable acceptance this year? Tell us in the comments section.

"What can we do today to ensure that our forests, grasslands and river systems retain their health, diversity and productivity?" Dombeck asked in his annual State of the Forest speech in March. "Our draft forest-planning regulations are based on the simple premise that we cannot meet the social and economic needs of people without first securing the health of the land."
That might seem like tame rhetoric to most Americans -- the majority of whom regularly tell pollsters they favor greatly increased wilderness protection -- but many rural residents see it as a radical challenge to their right to use the public lands. The anger in some areas has been so intense, Forest Service employees have had their lives threatened.
In Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, harassment of forest rangers has included threats with guns and bombs. An effort by the Forest Service to close a washed-out road to protect endangered bull trout led to a confrontation with Elko County officials, who helped local residents bulldoze a new path, dumping tons of silt into the Jarbidge River. Forest supervisor Gloria Flora resigned last fall, saying the lawlessness made her feel like "a despised occupying Army commander." In her letter of resignation, she said Forest Service employees "have been castigated in public, shunned in Nevada communities, refused service in restaurants, and kicked out of motels, just because of who [they] work for."
So far, Forest Service employees in Colorado have escaped such abuse. But the showdown in the White River forest has taken on national implications: If a precedent is set, it will likely influence forest plans all over the United States.
"We see this as a bellwether for how the Forest Service is going to responsibly manage recreation into the future," says Suzanne Jones, assistant regional director for the Wilderness Society, which recently placed the White River forest on its list of America's fifteen most-endangered wild places. "If they back down here in the face of industry pressure, it does not bode well for the rest of the country."
Scott McInnis is probably the first congressman in American history to actually put together a management plan for a national forest.
"The congressman thought it was incumbent on him to come up with something better [than Alternative D]," says McInnis spokesman Josh Penry. "This planning process is too important to his district."
McInnis and his staff worked with Richard Woodrow, the former supervisor of the White River forest, to write the plan, which he submitted to the Forest Service in May. Penry says the McInnis plan is a moderate document that incorporates "the best" elements of each of the half-dozen alternatives the Forest Service examined.
In a May 8 letter to White River supervisor Martha Ketelle, McInnis portrays Alternative D as a radical departure from the traditional management of the forest. "For nearly a hundred years, the Forest Service has managed the White River National Forest's 2.25 million acres for multiple use, placing particular emphasis on recreation, in ways consistent with protecting the Forest's biological health," he wrote. "Alternative D calls for a rapid retreat from this multiple-use ethic. The preferred alternative's management summary states that 'a higher priority will be given to physical and biological resources than to human uses of the forest.' This unifying principle in Alternative D is an unjustified reversal of the philosophy that has governed the White River National Forest over the last century."
In November, McInnis convened a closed-door meeting at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce building of interest groups that opposed the plan; he invited representatives of the ski industry, the Colorado Farm Bureau, the Colorado Cattlemen's Association, the Denver Water Board, and timber-industry and off-road-vehicle interests. That started a process that culminated with the unveiling of McInnis's own "blended alternative" to Alternative D.
The congressman's plan gives many of the interest groups that gathered in Denver last fall exactly what they wanted. It would substantially increase the amount of terrain available for ski-area expansion over the Forest Service proposal, marking 58,198 acres for possible expansions at Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Arapahoe Basin, Copper Mountain and Keystone, as well as a new ski area near Rifle. ATV users also scored big with McInnis: He would allot 30,357 acres for year-round use and allow for the development of "looped trails" on back roads that the Forest Service would like to close. His plan would also expand snowmobiling terrain by more than 4,000 acres.
McInnis proposes 16,022 acres of new wilderness areas (which are off limits to development); the Forest Service plan calls for 43,000 acres.
Before the release of his proposal, McInnis predicted that "what will bother environmentalists about my plan, keep them up at night, tear up their guts, is that they'll like it."
But that hasn't happened. "Alternative D is the compromise; it was the attempt to strike a balance," says the Wilderness Society's Jones, adding that the Forest Service could have chosen a more extreme alternative that was proposed by environmentalists. She also notes that the controversy over the plan has become political, with Democratic office-holders on the Western Slope largely endorsing it, while Republicans have been mostly opposing it. "The White River plan did not start out as partisan," she says. "So we can thank Scott McInnis for that."

On Monday, a bruhaha, or perhaps a bruhuhu (forgive me, internet), erupted over a photograph taken by Kevin Van Paassen that appeared on the front of the Globe and Mail, Canada's largest national and second-largest daily newspaper. The picture in question features 17-year-old figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond extending her leg in the air while dressed in a revealing costume that would be considered common for her sport.
It seems that to some the image represents a terrifying reminder that many women – including female athletes – do indeed possess an area of their bodies where their two legs meet and reproductive organs are often present. Shocking and appalling stuff, I know.
There was enough of an outrage to elicit a response from the Globe and Mail's Public Editor Sylvia Stead, who declared the photo to be "not acceptable."
Readers described the photo as too revealing, although it was a typical skating costume. Others said surely you could have found a more dignified photo and I agree with those readers. Many readers (and I fall into the same camp) are very proud of our Canadian athletes and feel paternal or maternal toward them and their great accomplishments. So, they want photos to show our athletes in the best possible light and not to (potentially) embarrass them.
While it may be a photo editor's duty to ensure that images enhance a story – and don't distract from it – I tend to agree with an application of the trope that any umbrage with a photograph such as this says a lot more about the person taking offense than anyone else. In fact, I would suggest that anyone claiming to be offended by the picture of Osmond competing for the very first time at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships isn't so much offended as they are starved for expression, and merely utilizing something they recognize as possibly being inappropriate to pathetically fill that hunger in the least genuine way imaginable.
Thankfully, the athlete herself has provided us all with the most reasonable and measured take.
Reaction to photo: it's not a bad pic. It could have been better, it also could have been worse.I'm excited to be on the cover pic isn't bad
— Kaetlyn Osmond (@kaetlyn_23) March 18, 2013
If the incense over the picture was good for anything, it was to prompt these comments from Osmond which serve to remind us that reason in the face of artificial outrage exists and should celebrated even more than figure skating results.

Woman charged in Chicago Heights hit-and-run that critically injured man
Sun-Times Media Wire February 1, 2014 9:52PM
Ariel WIlson | Cook County Sheriff's office photo
A woman has been charged with a hit-and-run crash in December that critically injured a man in Chicago Heights.
Ariel Wilson, 22, was charged with one count of leaving the scene of an accident causing personal injury, according to a Cook County sheriff's department news release.
About 6 p.m. Dec. 28, a 53-year-old man was hit by a car while walking on the edge of the road on 26th Street near Euclid Avenue, the statement said.
Police found a gray, passenger-side mirror — which looked as if it came from a Ford Taurus —near where the man was hit, the statement said.
A month later, while sheriff's police were investigating the area of the incident, officers found a vehicle missing a passenger side-view mirror in a parking lot near U.S. and Wilson Avenue.
An investigation revealed that Wilson was driving that car the evening of the hit-and-run, the sheriff's department said.
Wilson, of Park Forest, was ordered held on $15,000 bail Thursday at the Markham courthouse.
She next will appear in court Feb. 19.

Hong Kong Airport Transfers like all transportation options in Hong Kong are easy and convenient. What is best for you will depend of course on your preference, budget and also the number of people travelling together.
So what are the options once you arrive in Hong Kong?
Once you arrive in Hong Kong, there are many options for
your airport transfer into the city
There are many alternatives, ranging from the very economical buses to the over-the-top (literally) helicopter ride straight to the helipads on top of the Peninsula Hotel.
So here we tell you about the different ways of Hong Kong Airport Transfers into the city, pick what's right for you and your wallet and start exploring!
Hong Kong Express Station at HK Airport
The Airport Express line brings you from the airport into several stations in the major areas of Hong Kong, including Central and Kowloon where most visitors will be staying, and makes it very easy to reach your destination wherever it might be in the city.
From the Central and Kowloon stations, there are free shuttle buses that take you to the hotels around their respective areas.
Beware that some hotels advertise a "free airport shuttle", but what they mean is this free shuttle from the Airport Express station to the hotel, you still have to buy a ticket to get to/from the airport to the station.
One Way Ticket Prices for the Airport Express per adult are HK 100 for Central and HK 90 for Kowloon. There are discounts for round trip and children tickets, as well as promotional offers for group ticket prices. At about US$13 per person, it is a fast, convenient and economical way to get into the city and one of the most popular options.
Here's more on the Hong Kong Airport Express.
Taxis in Hong Kong are plentiful and economic
Hong Kong Taxis are color-coded for the areas they serve:
All taxis serve the Airport and accomodate 3-4 passengers.
Taxis use the meter, and in addition, rides to/from the airport incur sur-charges for bridge and tunnel tolls.
Here are some sample taxi fares from Hong Kong Airport to the different areas in Hong Kong, fares include toll charges and could fluctuate based on traffic conditions:
Hong Kong Airport Transfer by Taxi | |
Area | One Way in HK$ |
Central | 295 |
Wanchai | 290 |
Causeway Bay | 285 |
Stanley | 350 |
Tsim Sha Tsui | 240 |
Mongkok | 240 |
SaiKung Town (New Territories) | 335 |
There is a separate charge per piece of luggage of HK 5 which is not always enforced.
If there are 3-4 people in your group, consider a taxi as an alternative to the Airport Express or the Airport Shuttle buses (below). Even with a promotional Group fare for the Express, a taxi might be a better option since you bypass the extra step of having to get to/from the Airport Express station.
At the Arrivals Hall, beware of the people offering "you want taxi?", before you can blink, they will be carting your bag and taking you to their "taxis" which are nothing more than overpriced private car services you can expect to pay 3 to 4 times more for. If confronted by one of these, just firmly say no and continue to the official taxi stand.
Hong Kong Airport Buses - the CityFlyer AirBus,
best alternative for the budget-conscious
You want to take the CityFlyer Airbuses. These are more convenient for travellers, with spacious luggage racks and monitors which announce every stop along the way. The A routes are more direct and take you to all the main areas in Kowloon and Hong Kong. Buses depart every 20 minutes for most of the day.
The External CityBus has limited luggage space and the routes take longer than the more direct A routes. They service the Airport Area and Tung Chung New Town, consequently with a longer route but convenient mostly for the airport staff that commutes every day.
There are five main airport bus routes that will cover most of the travellers staying in Kowloon and Hong Kong: A10, A11, A12, A21, A22. You can look up your hotel in this list to determine which Line to take: Cityflyer AirBus Hotel Stops.
You can pay using your Octopus Card, otherwise exact change will be needed.
Airport Hotelink Shuttle Bus offers door-to-door convenience
The Airport Hotelink Shuttle Buses offer door to door transport between the airport and major hotels in Hong Kong and Kowloon. They service over 100 hotels and depart every 30 minutes from the Airport to the hotels and every 30-60 minutes from the hotels to the Airport.The Airport Hotelink Shuttle costs HK 150 for hotels in Central and HK 130 for hotels in Kowloon per single trip.
Here is a list of participating hotels in the Airport Hotelink Shuttle Bus, this site is in Chinese, unfortunately the English website has "disappeared", we will repost that link when it becomes available.
For the transfer from the hotel to the Airport you buy your ticket from the Hotel Concierge.
You board the Shuttle Bus at the Coach Station in Terminal 2, this is only a 5-minute walk from Terminal 1.
Prices for private transfers from the Airport to your Hong Kong or Kowloon Hotel start at about $34 per person (three people in your group), and you can also arrange shared transfers for about $24 per person.
You will need to provide your flight details and someone will be waiting for you in the Arrivals area and bring you to your Hong Kong or Kowloon Hotel or the Ocean Terminal if you are boarding a cruise.
You can pre-book your Private Airport Transfer with Viator here.
Heliservices HK offers Helicopter Transfers from the Hong Kong Airport to the roof-top helipads at the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon or the Wanchai Government Heliport in Hong Kong Island. The 10-minute ride will set you back HK16,000, but it's likely to be the highlight of your trip. Helicopters accomodate a maximum of 5 guests.
Or how about getting picked up at the Airport on a Rolls Royce Phantom for the ultimate ride into the city? You can arrange that thorough the Peninsula Hotel, who themselves own a fleet of 14 of them. The one-way trip costs HK1,500.
For more information on the Helicopter Transfers or to arrange a Rolls Royce pick up contact the Peninsula Hotel.
Thank you for visiting www.hong-kong-traveller.com!
Here is to a wonderful Hong Kong travel experience!

Installation of Sentricon System
The above was done on October 6th although originally for October 2nd. There were some challenges in working with those who need to mark before digging but everyone in your company worked to get those resolved, particularly, Lee Ann, the Office Manager. Edward Casteel and his assistant who was in training were a pleasure and Edward, I thought was a good role model in handling the situation because he was calm and offered up solutions to work within my schedule. All said and done, I felt everyone worked together and am very satisfied with the work done at this point. I look forward to working with you in the future. Drew Chaney who worked on getting this set up was a pleasure to work with also.

He did a very good job today and accommodated our request for morning service. We hope that he will continue to be our service rep.for future service.

Sadly, it's all downhill from there, for us if not necessarily for Sid. Having successfully divested himself of the bonds of holy matrimony, the genial goofball decides to help others enjoy the same freedom. Setting himself up as a self-proclaimed "divorce expert," Sid designs and executes scenarios to give unhappy husbands and/or wives grounds for divorce in exchange for large sums of money. One of his schemes, for example, finds him seducing a gold-digger at the behest of her older, wealthier husband, who arranges to catch them in the act and fake a heart attack. When the "grieving" widow subsequently celebrates her good fortune, Sid captures the whole thing on a digital recorder, which her hubby can use as evidence in court. It's a dirty job, but hey—somebody's gotta do it and nobody's better at this profession than Sid, who takes great pleasure in bringing deliverance to aggrieved spouses.
While he prefers to work alone, a case of mistaken identity unexpectedly awards him a sidekick in the form of Sonali (Bipasha Basu), a stunning single lady who helps him out on one assignment and immediately gets a taste for the excitement (and enormous checks) that the gig brings. Working together, this dynamic duo keeps India's divorce lawyers, to say nothing of the country's civil courts, supremely busy. And do I even need to mention that the more time they spend together, the more their professional relationship turns personal? Well, to be precise, it turns personal for Sonali, while the skittish Sid still tries to fight his feelings.
That changes after they land their biggest case yet, one that involves following a cheating business tycoon, Marc (Milind Soman), and his mistress to Greece. All that lovely Grecian scenery (much of which was shot on location) puts Sid in the loving mood, so much so that he decides that, rather than send the businessman and his estranged wife Maggie (Dipannita Sharma) to divorce court, he and Sonali should get them back together instead. Their plan goes off without an apparent hitch and, in the process, the two of them fall into each other's arms for one passionate night. But the following morning, it becomes clear that Sid hasn't been entirely on the level about the whole Marc and Maggie situation and his secret upends his relationship with Sonali and eventually forces him to reconsider his pro-divorce stance.
Since this twist is the one (minor) surprise that the story throws our way, I'll refrain from giving more away here. Still, it's not enough to turn the movie around, lending Jodi Breakers only a momentary jolt before it quickly settles back into its stale, sitcommy ways. Worse still, to make up for the celebration of the divorced lifestyle that permeates the first half, the rest of the movie works overtime to re-establish the importance of marriage, which means lots of turgid, self-serious emoting. It doesn't help matters that, as a screen couple, Madhavan and Basu are far more likeable as friends with benefits than true-blue lovers.
Perhaps it was expecting too much of a slapdash studio production such as this one to take the kinds of creative risks that would result in more provocative storytelling and social commentary. Nevertheless, Jodi Breakers feels like a missed opportunity; in the right hands, it could have been a broad, crowd-pleasing comedy along the lines of Knocked Up that mixes hearty laughs with relatable observations about contemporary male/female relationships. Instead, it's just a generic, instantly forgettable multiplex programmer.


text: Face lift for Riders for HealthTuesday, March 11, 2008 The Presidential Medical Team on Friday donated ambulance uniforms to Riders for Health at a presentation held at the Serrekunda Hospital. Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Tamsir Mbowe, the director general of the Presidential Medical Team, who also doubles as the director of Medical Services, said that a fortnight ago, they received a doation from Friends of The Gambia in Holland. This, according to Dr Mbowe, included bio-medical equipment and ambulance uniforms, amongst others. "The primary aim of President Jammeh's treatment is not only to cure patients with HIV/AIDs, asthma, diabetes or other diseases, but also to strengthen the health delivery system of the country. This is the more reason why we are donating this ambulance gears to Riders for Health. They are one of the sectors in the health sector that is taking care of the ambulance fleet and the transpotation system within the Department of State for Health.

There is no room for moral ambiguity when you're the general manager of a Major League Baseball club. Your job is to improve the team, improve the product, and ostensibly build the bottom line by improving your club's chances of winning.
Winning solves all ills, even though sometimes it takes a lot lot of losing to create an environment conducive to winning. When Jeff Luhnow took over as general manager of the Houston Astros, he inherited a club in transition.
After all the losing and the contract off-loading, the Astros just might be a team on the upswing. The goals in Houston have certainly changed. Luhnow has a different focus for his big league club — the youngest in baseball while also claiming one of the "most modest" payrolls — in 2014, compared to his first two years on the job. The goal is simple – demonstrate improvement at the big league level and get fans excited for the future.
We're realistic – we have the youngest team in baseball and a modest payroll. I do think that at the end of the season this team will be significantly better than the team we had out there last year and the fans will excited about what's coming."
On the field, Houston struggled to strike a balance between present and future. After losing 100 games for three years in a row, Luhnow wants to improve now while keeping his eyes on the prize. Free agent relievers and a most reliable starter to carry the "top of the rotation" mantle provides more "breathing room" for young players during their first exposure to the Major Leagues.
"This year we took a different approach because we want to make sure we don't make the same mistakes that cost us a lot of games last year. "
The Astros are lucky, in a sick way, that they're able to start from scratch with their team as fan interest bottomed out before the rebuild began. The move to the AL, the new TV deal—if ever there was a time to blow it up and start over, it is now.
The average fan wants to see the team win and those inside the organization want to win. The two sides merely differ on the timeline and the path to achieve it.
"It either takes an infinite amount of resources — which no club has — or it takes a lot of good luck and hard work and it doesn't really happen immediately. The goal initially was to aggregate as much young talent as possible. Our fans have seen us do that but they at the same time they haven't seen that turn into major league victories or a pennant run yet. They're hopeful that will come soon, as so are we quite frankly."
Try as they might to strike this delicate balance, there is still more at play the noble pursuit of wins in 2014. The call-up of top prospect George Springer came Tuesday night, just in time to buy an extra year of control. As of Tuesday, a player added to the 25-man roster accumulates less than one year of service time should he remain on the roster for the rest of the season.
Last year's hardships bore some fruit. Luhnow cites reliever Josh Fields as a guy who proved he belonged last year as well as Robbie Grossman, though the outfielder was sent down to triple-A to make room for Springer.
He points to the acquisition of Scott Feldman and relievers Chad Qualls and Jesse Crain as moves made to improve the big league talent. Could the team have acquired another player or two without limiting the growth of players in the current mix?
In something of an ironic twist, Luhnow is a champion of his minor league affiliates, producing results in addition to serving as hubs for development. Past experience suggests this approach pays dividends down the road. As the farmer director and director of scouting for the St. Louis Cardinals, Luhnow watched as players like Allen Craig, David Freese, Lance Lynn, and Daniel Descalso came through the system together and won together. Luhnow believes their belief in each other and understanding of what it took to win helped the Cardinals achieve World Series success in 2011. His expectations in Houston are no different.
I think the same thing is going to happen with us. We have groups of players coming up, the results are going to be good because they're good players and there's a lot of them. By the time they get to Houston, they're going to have an expectation to win.
The Cardinals model is one every team could stand to replicate. In addition to producing top talent, they extend their star players with long contracts. The Cardinals aren't playing the same game, with 100 years of history and a long tradition of winning that built one of the most beloved clubs in baseball, but all teams can lock in young players up to friendly deals.
Houston might have the second-lowest payroll in baseball but their GM believes this is a temporary measure. They had a $100 million payroll in the past and he believe they'll get back to that level soon. Bigger budgets don't always mean big free agent spending sprees. The Astros face a different set of challenges in the future and must pick and choose where they splash the cash.
With so many young players coming through the pipeline, we're not going to be able to lock them all up. Just keeping them all through arbitration is going to get expensive and we also want to dip into the free agent market so we'll have to be wise about how we spend the dollars. Our flexibility gives us the opportunity to make the right investments at the right time.
One way teams spent freely in the past was the international free agent pool, a wild west of third party agents and Latin teenage promise. Recent changes to baseball's collective bargaining agreement capped this spending. Luhnow believes the Astros can still make good use of their international cash while planning for a day when they must spend smarter.
We're in an advantageous position because we have the largest pool to spend internationally. We're aggressively scouting every corner of Latin America. When this team starts to win a lot of games and our pool shrinks, we'll have a slightly different perspective on how it all works and how we'll approach it.
Three straight 100 loss seasons, three years of franchise irrelevance, three years in the woods. 2014 represents the beginning of stage two and the 'stros believe the wins will float up to the big league level – little by little. First .500 and then the world?
Ultimately our goal, when we get to that playoff-contention area, is that we stay there. Like Boston and Tampa Bay and St. Louis have done. That's what we want to do.
The growing pains haven't been for the faint of heart and the way the went about compiling their talent rubs some people the wrong way, the Astros GM is only doing what he was hired to do: bring in talent and make the team a winner. Throw this much talent against the wall, expect some to stick.

Baroque Oboe
Started his modern oboe studies at the age of 14 at the Bratislava State Conservatoire. Later he studied baroque oboe in Leipzig (with W. Kube). In 2000 he was invited to study at the Academy d'Ambronay with R. Alessandrini. He finished his baroque oboe studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where he was taught by A. Bernardini. During his studies he co-worked with the Centre du Musique Baroque de Versailles, The European School in Rovereto, and musicians such as Simon Standage, Lucy vad Dael, Barthold Kuijken, Nancy Argenta, John Toll and Peter Kooy, and the ensembles Musica Aeterna, Musica Florea, Solamente Naturali, Baroque Capella Savaria, Collegium Marianum, Leipziger Baroque Orchester, Ars Antiqua Austria, Bach Consort Wien and La Stravaganza Koln. He took part in the recording of Zelenka's Sub olea pacis et palma virtutis, which was awarded Prix International du Disque Cannes Classical Award MIDEM.
About the class:
The repertoire in the class will include mostly solo- and trio sonatas by Italian, German and French composers of the 1st third of 18th century, cantatas by J. S. Bach, works of the "Berlin-School" with emphasise on C. Ph. E. Bach, as well as solo concerts for oboe.
There will be one or two free instruments for students, who have no baroque oboe, but they have strong interest to learn to play it. This class is therefore very suitable for young professionals or students of conservatories!

"This was DELICIOUS! Even all of my picky children liked it! Like another reviewer, I used sun dried tomatoes in place of the roasted red pepper, and I added a 1/2 cup of mixed vegetables and a little extra broccoli. It was so very yummy! We will definitely make it again and again!"
"The 504 previous reviewers were absolutely correct! This recipe is DELICIOUS. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was amazing. My husband added a few dried jalapenos and peppers at the end for a little more spice, but it was perfect for the rest of us. All 5 kids ate it and 4 of the 5 enjoyed it--can't beat that!"

An edible emporium of eatability, Nonni's Pizza serves a tongue-tantalizing menu of piping-hot pies smothered in vine-ripened tomato sauce and fresh Italian cheeses. Chomp into the BBQ bacon cheeseburger pie ($13.99/large), crowned with barbeque-sauce-marinated meatballs and crispy strips of bacon, or ward off clingy vampires with Nonni's Favorite ($13.99/large), which comes smothered in white sauce, breaded chicken, broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. End any eating expedition with the sweet delight of cinnamaple sticks ($3.99), breadsticks doused in cinnamon, sugar, and maple syrup. The technologically advanced pizzeria features online ordering courtesy of a pedal-operated computer powered by horses.
Featured by Billy Costa on the show TV Diner, on which Costa calls the restaurant a landmark and a legend, Prince Pizzeria has been slinging sauce over pies for half a century. Beneath the unmistakable soaring model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, owners Steven and Trisha Castraberti oversee a menu piled with homemade marinara and pies lauded as the Best Pizza of the North Shore. Diners bite into specialty pies such as the greek, whose spinach and feta cheese combine with black olives and tomatoes ($15.95), or the primavera, on which eggplant and roasted red peppers lounge. Arturo's classic marinara ladles daily-made tomato sauce over spaghetti or ziti ($8.99), and patrons lounging amid yellow and red walls slice into a tender, breaded veal cutlet hiding beneath red sauce and mozzarella ($13.99).
In the bistro's dining room, a small tree springs from a central planter, its gaunt branches peppering the space with twinkling string lights. As wall sconces cast buttery light on wine racks and ornate vases, fingers tiptoe across the restaurant's piano, filling the air with the seductive charm of a vintage jazz club.
Complementing these lavish ambiance notes is a dynamic Italian menu infused with seasonal ingredients from local markets and farms. Pours from a long list of wines help to awaken diners' palates, as do elegant starters of honey brie, grilled-lamb lollipops, and steamed Prince Edward Island mussels, grown in the main aquarium at Buckingham Palace. When it comes time for entrees, servers' arms stack high with fig-laced pizzas, steaks with dollops of herbed butter, and fish dishes that glisten with delicate wine sauces.
Though Bacci's is in Saugus, a car ride or several Orange Line stops away from the North End, its menu of Sicilian-style pizzas and pasta dishes adheres to the historic Boston neighborhood's renowned culinary tradition. The family-owned shop bursts with the aroma of baking dough and simmering Italian sauces. The chefs toss specialty pizzas by hand and layer subs, wraps, and paninis with an array of mozzarella, meats, and vegetables. Bacci's also hosts "Make Your Own Pizza" parties, during which diners can try their hand at designing their own pies without the hassle of milking the dough from the cows themselves.
Whether with its plates of black mussels swimming in a red sauce or the art-deco-style bar lined with vibrant liquor bottles, La Vita Mia floods the senses with color. Diners sit at white-clothed tables bathed in a golden light from wall sconces that compete for space with old black-and-white pictures. Glasses of burgundy-colored wine sparkle next to bone-white plates hoisting steaks, pastas, and seafood sprinkled with vibrant flecks of parsley and cutting boards topped with crusty brown loaves.

After much anticipation the NFL football season has finally begun, and to many Dallas Cowboys fans the beginning of what many hope will be a memorable season. The Cowboys opened up their pre-season in Arlington as they took on the Denver Broncos.
The Cowboys looked to bounce from a disappointing season, with a healthy Tony Romo and a new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan leading the defense. While in Denver a quarterback controversy is brewing in Denver. As incumbent starter Kyle Orton and fan favorite Tim Tebow compete for the starting job.
Tony Romo was in for just series, leading the Cowboys to a field goal, going 3-5 for 35 yards. The story of the game was the play of third string quarterback Stephen McGee. McGee led the Cowboys to a come-from-behind 24-23 victory, and a two-point conversion in the closing seconds. McGee went 14 of 24 passing for 208 yards with three touchdown passes for the Cowboys. Two of those going to rookie wideout Dwayne Harris, who caught five passes for 127 yards.
The Cowboys win the pre-season thriller 24-23, and go back to work as training camp continues. The next pre-season game for the Dallas Cowboys is a August 21st game with San Diego.

Article Review: 'Grace And Gay Men' By Randy Thomas
Exodus Vice President Randy Thomas wrote an article titled "Grace and Gay Men" that recently appeared in the Focus on the Family webzine Boundless. While doing my best to read it with an unbiased eye, I'll admit that Randy's erratic blogging and commenting behavior make that difficult. For whatever reason, the man wipes out his entire blogging history on a repeated and regular basis (which makes accountability for past statements nearly impossible).
Also, it has been my experience that Randy is incapable of allowing for or conducting any open and honest discussion with people who disagree with him. Whether he is willing to admit it or not, those sorts of behaviors take away from the credibility of his content and portray him as disingenuous when he talks about loving homosexuals as Jesus would.
The article is prefaced by a disclaimer that is almost long enough to be a piece on its own. I understand the need for a disclaimer now and then, but Randy writes three paragraphs justifying what he is about to say. Number one, someone important at Exodus can attest to how distraught he has been while writing; second, he has thrown caution to the wind against the good advice of a friend who fears he will be perceived as pro-gay; last, gay men are dying of AIDS so it's time to toughen up and be forthright about how much he cares about all the gay men dying while headed straight for hell. In my opinion, the long disclaimer, just like Randy's web etiquette, detracts from the sincerity and impact of the entire piece.
Following the disclaimer, there is a sort of mini-essay in which Randy addresses the Body of Christ and its reluctance to demonstrate love and grace to gay men during the initial days of the AIDS pandemic.
I did not and do not think it is appropriate to stigmatize a large group of men whom the Lord loves, dismissing them as unworthy of our love.
Even today, the overarching consistent message coming from the Christian community has been one of stigmatization and warning.
Randy goes on to write an article about gay men that's full of stigmatization and warning, spending a fair amount of print convincing the reader of his own depravity in the late 80s. It strikes me as suspect when he talks about friends seeming to drop dead during that time frame with no knowledge of what was killing them. This was 1988.
In 1987 Princess Diana visited AIDS patients in hospitals, the Ray family had their house torched in Alabama because their 3 sons were HIV positive, and Ronald Reagan gave several speeches to various groups about AIDS. In 1988, the American Medical Association urged doctors to break confidentiality to protect potential AIDS victims, and the first WORLD AIDS day took place. These are events that I remember. Statements like this one are puzzling in the context of this particular story:
Up to that point AIDS was killing friends of my friends. I remember the rumors of a "gay" disease that had no name but it didn't take long for us to learn that it was HIV and quickly becoming the new sexual pandemic.
It's not so much that I doubt the validity of what Randy is saying so much as it seems that he's putting various memories together for the sake of convenience. It certainly doesn't make sense to jump from "gay" disease to HIV since the name AIDS was officially created in 1982 and HIV wasn't isolated until 1984 — all while he is discussing 1988. Either way, it seems to me that being as street savvy as Randy obviously was at that time, he would have known and understood what AIDS was by 1988. Randy even contradicts himself just a few paragraphs later as he tells about the depraved night of bar-hopping and drug use when he learned of the death of his former and much-loved partner, Ron, from AIDS.
The "party" crowd might not have all known Ron but they all knew what AIDS was and this usually boisterous crowd was eerily humbled.
Randy continues, relating the fear and trauma he experienced as he waited for his own HIV test results in the months that followed Ron's death. During that time, he was comforted and counseled by his gay friends, but persisted in using drugs. Eventually, he continued pursuing promiscuous sexual relations in spite of the fear that Ron's death instilled in him. According to Randy, it was his friends in the gay community who finally got through to him about his risky behaviors.
Because of the self-imposed accountability within my gay community, I was not a "slut" for very long.
Before wrapping up his story, Randy reminds us one final time that HIV is a gay issue by quoting Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Folks, with 70 percent of the people in this country living with HIV being gay or bi, we cannot deny that HIV is a gay disease.
Once he clears that up, he seems to make an effort to provoke a more progressive line of thinking among evangelical Christians. Randy repeatedly affirms that it was the gay community who ministered to him in ways that eventually led him to Christ and his current Christian worldview. While this is certainly no scathing admonishment for the church, it is a bold statement for the likes of Randy Thomas.
My gut-reaction after reading Randy's article was "he's trying to go all Wendy Gritter on us." If so, and it's for real, I'll be the first to acknowledge and applaud him. However, with a three-paragraph disclaimer and his continued insistence that his promiscuity and drug use were the result of his "gay-centered worldview," I'm not holding my breath.
