Gianna's will excite the vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore alike. Famous for their Philly cheesesteaks. Also excellent sides and desserts. Not to be missed.
This little grocery store has excellent samosas. A worthwhile trip to University City.
This is a totally vegan restaurant and satisfies all your cravings for food you probably never thought you could again. From Shark Fin Soup to Won Ton to Sweet and Sour Chicken, KOV is phenomenal. I highly recommend the dim sum.
An excellent place just across the street from the conference center. You can buy groceries or a meal. It has Amish foods and various other kinds of food. Some of my favorite vendors are: Famous 4th Street Cookie Company, Nanee's Kitchen (Indian), Iovine's produce.
It has free wireless, but it is ALWAYS crowded!
Middle Eastern and American food (meaning, you can get both falafel and fries). Seriously the best falafel and baba ganoush this user has ever experienced.
Vietnam Restaurant 221 N. 11th St (near the convention center)
Kinda fancy, but not too expensive. Has several tofu options.
910 Christian Street (9th and Christian) Sabrina's is really crowded if you go for brunch, but not so bad for dinner. It's near the Italian Market, which is also worth checking out. For vegetarians, who might otherwise miss out on Philly cheesesteaks, Sabrina's has a great seitan version! The menu is kind of like classic American food with a twist. BYOB
Farmacia 15 S. 3rd St (3rd and Market) - about 7 blocks from the Convention Center
A little expensive, entrees cost $13-25. Several vegetarian options. It's the kind of place where even if you order something ordinary, the food is extra good.
3420 Sansom Street (34th and Sansom, near UPenn)
A little expensive, $16-25 entrees. There are usually only a few vegetarian options. Ingredients are mostly local, organic and seasonal. The owner is committed to social justice, and they host many community events. Very good!
221 Church Street (2nd and Church, a small street just north of Market)
In addition to being a terrific Ethiopian restaurant, Dahlak is a great bar. When I lived in Philly (2001), they also had a dynamite jukebox. In west Philly.

12th annual Downtown Winter Walk to be held Dec. 1
BY: Kori Sciandra | November 19, 2012
NORTH TONAWANDA/TONAWANDA - Patrons of downtown will soon be walking into a winter wonderland as they hit Webster Street. This year, the Downtown Merchants Association of North Tonawanda and the Swiftwater Association and Merchants from Tonawanda will host the 12th annual Downtown Winter Walk Saturday, Dec. 1.
The Twin Cities offer this unique event to residents each year in order to lend a hand to the local merchants so everyone can have a better holiday.
"The North Tonawanda Merchants initially started this as a way to help the merchants have better sales for Christmas," said Kay Learned, Winter Walk chairperson. "They wanted it to be family friendly, and not just for the shopper in the family, so that's why there is so many kid friendly events."
This years festivities will kick off with a Friday night tree lighting at 7: p.m., with hot chocolate served at 6:30 p.m.
For those who love to shop, participating merchants will have a spot available for patrons to sign up to win a $150 shopping spree giveaway.
To continue with the tradition of hosting the Winter Walk on the first Saturday in December, a variety of events are in place to keep the day going.
Breakfast with Santa will be available at 9 and 10:30 a.m. at the YWCA, with the opportunity to take a picture with Santa anytime from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - providing you bring your own camera.
Hayrides and pony rides will be available throughout the day up and down Webster and Main Streets from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a petting zoo will be available for children during the same time.
A band organ will be playing Christmas music on the Tonawanda side of the event; and the Riviera Theater will be showing "The Sound of Music" at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1
Merchants will have their doors open for holiday shoppers from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There are many more activities to explore during the 12th Annual Winter Walk. Head downtown to enjoy the events, grab some hot chocolate and complete some holiday shopping.
"It's developed over the years," said Learned. "Each year the event gets a little bit bigger. More and more people come out."
Participating shops will have refreshments for patrons as they travel about downtown.

Hi all, I am usually in the fragrants forum. I acquired these bulbs recently. I have them in potting soil and they are doing good so far. I am wondering if there is special soil preference and cultural tips I may benefit from. I have also ordered few more bulbs for oct. arrival from one of the bulb companies. mostly cybister hybrids. Thank you all so much for any insights.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi! The first message on the list is a sticky containing answers to many of the frequently asked questions...that should get you started. Who did you order your new bulbs from? Looks like you may live in Florida; if so, lucky you as these do great outside in the ground. |
Heck yeah! You get to grow your bulbs right in the garden! How fortunate! I concur with Kristi... there's a lot of great cultural information contained within that "sticky" pasted to the top of this forum. |
Thank you so much for your input.. I am in south florida and I think at least 2 bulbs rooted themselves through the pot into the ground. I have generic amaryllis in ground for years, but I am nervous for these species bulbs. When it pours here it really does and I was worried about too much water etc. Here is a little clip on youtube about my amaryllis.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing in ground, my generic Amaryllis..
Nice! It's a beautiful border of Hippeastrums! You could keep your species types in pots if you want to... I'm forced to grow all my tender plants and bulbs in containers due to our winters... the 'sticky" at the top of the forum contains some really good tips on medium, feeding, ensuring good drainage in pots, etc... growing in a garden situation is very different than growing within the confined space of a pot. Gosh, I sure wish I could grow a border of Hippis like yours! |
Thank you so much, Jodik. I look forward for them every year. Rest of the bulbs I ordered from Van bourgondien will arrive in oct, I think. So I was planning to get my soil ready.. |
You have very different environmental conditions from those I deal with... you have much milder temperatures in winter, hotter temperatures in summer, much more sun, and you'll probably need to water yours more than I would... therefore, you'll need a medium that is a bit more moisture retentive than I would use, and you'll probably find yourself feeding them a bit more often because of the amount of water you'll be flushing through the soil to keep them happy, if you get my meaning. Plants are never a one-size-fits-all thing... because of differing conditions... like differing climates, differing individual micro-climates, differing container sizes, etc... That means, in essence, that advice on growing plants and what actually works will differ for each grower... and we have to adjust various things to fit our own individual situation. It sounds more difficult than it really is. We simply have to be observant... and it's very helpful if we have knowledge of the basic conditions a particular kind of plant needs and likes. There is no such thing as luck, or being fortunate when it comes to gardening... a green thumb is nothing more than applied knowledge. Hippeastrum bulbs can be grown a couple of different ways... they can be scheduled for bloom when we want flowers by forcing a dormancy, or we can let them grow and bloom on their own natural schedule. I've chosen the latter method, which is less work for me. Typically, my bulbs slow growth in the autumn and winter... and I adjust watering and feeding accordingly... and they begin active growth in spring when the days begin to lengthen and the sun is closer to us... again, I adjust watering and feeding for their active growth... they typically bloom in spring or early summer for me. After blooming, they put forth lots of green to gather energy for their next cycle. In your climate, you'll probably need a medium that's more moisture retentive than something I'd choose. Since my bulbs are forced to be in containers, and they spend part of the year indoor, I want a more porous, fast draining medium that won't allow them to stay too wet for too long a time period. I make my own medium, using various ratios of fir bark fines, coarse perlite, granite chips, and a handful of premium commercial potting mix for the right balance of aeration and moisture retention. If I lived in a climate like Florida's, I'd probably have to adjust ratios of the ingredients I use to be more bulb-friendly in such an environment. I've linked an article below that was written by our local bonsai expert and container gardening guru, Tapla... he explains, in layman's terms, the basic science and physics of how water behaves in soil, and how it's all relevant to root growth and health. If a plant's roots are healthy, it is reflected above the soil in the plant's health. The article he wrote contains some very interesting and important information on growing in the confined spaces of pots. I think that even if you find the medium recipes not quite right for your climate the way they're written, you'll at least gain some good and important knowledge from reading the article. Understanding what goes on underneath the soil surface is very important to keeping the plant healthy and happy above the surface! So, with all the great information you have access to, from the "sticky" at the top of this forum, and the article from the Container Gardening Forum, you should have an excellent amount of cultural and other information to draw from! But if you still have questions about something, we're only too happy to try our best at helping! Happy Reading... and Happy Growing! :-) |

Thank you so much.. I do appreciate all your advice, and the time you took to write up detailed information. So far my bulbs are doing good. i am hoping cybister and papillo will bloom for me when season comes. Mandonii is a baby and may take a while.. Thank you again so much for your input. |
My pleasure! I'm always happy to share what I've learned over time, and if I can save someone from some of the disappointments I've experienced by sharing that knowledge, then it's well worth the effort! Part of the problem within the world of gardening is the large amount of fallacy and old wive's tales that keep floating around, recirculating and resurfacing generation to generation... and another problem is that the commercial gardening industry exists to profit, not necessarily to help gardeners grow their plants of choice optimally. Like any other industry, profit is the driving force, and that means the quicker plants die, the quicker they will need to be replaced or other plants bought... which means growers will also need to purchase more supplies, like soil, pots, etc... and then there are all the "handy" little gizmos sold, supposedly to make growing easier... though the majority aren't needed and many do not do anything positive for the plants. Those little glass watering bulbs are a prime example... they're supposed to help with watering, but they are useless. Another item is the fertilizer advertised to make plants bloom... the bloom formula... there's really no difference between that and other plant food, but since the public buys into it, they package and sell it. Anyway... I wanted to include more information on the Papillio Butterfly... which is actually kind of an epiphytic type of Hippeastrum. Meaning, it can be mounted with moss, or grown in a wire basket with moss... much like an orchid! They can also be grown in a decently aerated medium, like other bulbs. I've included a link to a past thread from our forum, with pictures showing Pat's Papillio growing mounted on a piece of wood, using moss. I believe he lives in Texas, which would be a climate closer to your own. It's really an interesting picture showing a very large, healthy Papillio! If I'm not mistaken, he also has a large specimen growing in a big wire basket, though I can't recall if there are pictures of it anywhere... Just an interesting little alternative that some people use to grow Papillio Butterfly, though certainly not necessary if a person doesn't feel comfortable doing so. I've thought of trying to grow one mounted, but I would like to have an extra Papillio bulb, just in case the one didn't like being mounted in my climate! I'm kind of partial to cybisters and species types, though the majority of the bulbs I have right now are hybrid varieties. I also branched out a bit into other amaryllids, and I keep pink and white Rain Lilies, Crinum, Sprekelia, and a few others... I'd love to replace the Scadoxus I had, which was a beauty when in bloom! I'd also love to obtain some Nerine, some species type Gladiolus, and others from South Africa and South America. The better the care they receive, the faster your bulbs will reach maturity, and bloom for you. Patience is a huge part of gardening, whether you're growing plants in pots, or in a garden setting. Take good care, and have patience... and your bulbs will reward you! Happy Growing! :-) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mounted Papillio
Thank you for all the info.. I have another A.papillio ordered that is coming on Oct. So maybe I can think of growing it epiphytically, or in orchid bark.. I was thinking A. calyptratum is the only epiphytic bulb.. So I have been reading on H x johnsonii.. can you identify if the flowers in the video are those?? If not, I am planning to obtain a few of johnsonii.. I am very grateful for your time and writeups.. |
Again, my pleasure... gardening is too fun and too rewarding to keep it all to oneself! :-) The linked site has loads of information on the various tender amaryllids, including some decent pictures of H x johnsonii... they're in alphabetical order on the page. I can't really tell what you have in your border... the sun light makes them look more orange than they probably are in person... but if you compare the photos to what you have, you'll probably be able to tell better than I whether they are, indeed, H x johnsonii. A quick Google search of H x johnsonii should bring up tons of links, plus a ton of images to look through, too. I had a pot of H x johnsonii at one time, but they fell prey to the dreaded NBF, or Narcissus Bulb Fly... which sneaked in through holes in my window screen and decimated half my collection. I was so upset and disappointed when I found out that's what was killing my bulbs... and I did manage to salvage some. I now use a preventative systemic in all my pots... especially the ones I take outdoor for summer. Personally, I think H x johnsonii is a very beautiful variety... it appears a little more trumpet shaped than many others, and I like that. The red and white pattern is very nice, too. Plus, they look great in large groups! Before I saw Pat's Papillio mounted on wood, I didn't know they could be grown like that, either... but he said that in the warm, humid climate he lives in, it's the perfect environment to try it. If I could, I'd get one just to grow in a wire basket with moss! But it wouldn't survive the winters like that, here... so, I might kill it if I tried. Instead, I use a very aerated medium made with larger particles... fir bark, coarse perlite, crushed granite pieces... closer to bonsai or orchid medium... and I keep a close eye on moisture, checking often. Happy to share information... you'll find the group of folks here to be very nice, glad to help, and everyone is a bulb addict! LOL! Happy Growing! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hippeastrum and Others
Hi Radhavall, Kristi and Jodi gave a lot of good information. The only thing I would add is that gardening in this beautiful, sometimes swampy state (said lovingly) is different than northern gardening and often requires a somewhat different method. If potting plants that will be kept outside, a large bag of prepared potting soil, amended with course sand (stability and drainage), and perlite (drainage and aeration during heavy rains), and the addition of a handful of Ironite (thank you Houston Pa)t should work for you until you make your own improvements to it - and of course a good fertilizer during growing season. I like a time release fertilizer because of the heavy daily summer rains. The dry cool winters are ideal as they require little care (in fact I am very careful of watering as it can cause rot in the cooler weather). This is a good time clean up pots. Calyptratum is happy growing in sphagnum, in a net pot in a tree year round. Of course, if you are planting in the ground this all changes - but you seem to do this well :) |
Thank you jodik and jstropic..The only reason I wanted them in pots is, so I bring them in when they bloom... Dreaming of a flower that is not there yet!! I will try more porous mix. |
Speaking of Florida, and of fragrant plants... I'm so excited! I have a Plumeria that's just about ready to open blooms! I can't wait! I received it as an 8" stick/stem piece from a dear friend in the southern states several years ago, and I rooted it, and have nursed it along in what I'd consider not the best of growing conditions... and it's finally going to reward me with blooms! I'm not sure what I did right, but it seems happy! It has a wonderful inflo on top sporting many individual flower buds! I think it's a white variety, and I know it will smell very lovely! I can't wait to see them open! Porous is good when it comes to drainage for containers, and for the exchange of gases and oxygen at root level, essential to root health... but take care how porous you make your medium in your particular climate. And take care to check your plants often to see if see if they need moisture added. In a hot climate with more sun, a porous medium may require more watering, and feeding, more often... than it would in a climate like I live in, where it's not quite so hot and the sun isn't so fierce. But I think if you read the article Tapla wrote on "Container Soils - Water Movement & Retention" you'll gain a good understanding of the concept of using a more aerated medium... and it's the concept that's most important to keep in mind. |
Radhavall, Being able to bring them in is one of the best things about having them in pots. The other reason for me is that I like to move them as the sun changes in summer and winter. I'm thinking of building an area with shade cloth so they are in a more permanent place - we'll see. Jodi, I love plumeria's. I have a yellow one that smells like peaches. Hope yours has a wonderful scent. |
Ooh! Peach scented! How lovely! When waiting for buds to open... any flower buds... it seems to take an interminably long time! It's tough to remain patient, waiting and watching, checking them every day to see if they're closer to blooming! I can now see the slight pink tint to the outside of some of the Plumeria buds... they should start opening soon! I'm fairly certain it's a white variety, and I can't wait to find out what sort of scent they have! Living in the northern states, I'm forced to grow anything tender in a container... I'd have tons more tropical plants if I could grow them in a garden setting, but space is an issue when autumn gets here. I'd love to grow bananas, lemons or limes, oranges, and other assorted tropical fruits, but I'd have no where to keep them once they gained some size! Hippeastrums and Plumerias are about as large as I can get, and I'll have to keep the Plumeria pruned to a manageable size and shape! |

In the past several weeks as much of the nation suffered under a massive heatwave, global warming-obsessed media depicted the high temperatures as evidence of Nobel laureate Al Gore's favorite money-making scam.
A new study published in the journal Nature Sunday completely debunks all previous claims that temperatures in recent decades are in any way historic demonstrating instead that things were much hotter on this planet during Roman times:
Here, we present new evidence based on maximum latewood density data from northern Scandinavia, indicating that this cooling trend was stronger (−0.31 °C per 1,000 years, ±0.03 °C) than previously reported, and demonstrate that this signature is missing in published tree-ring proxy records. The long-term trend now revealed in maximum latewood density data is in line with coupled general circulation models indicating albedo-driven feedback mechanisms and substantial summer cooling over the past two millennia in northern boreal and Arctic latitudes. These findings, together with the missing orbital signature in published dendrochronological records, suggest that large-scale near-surface air-temperature reconstructionsrelying on tree-ring data may underestimate pre-instrumental temperatures including warmth during Medieval and Roman times.
The website of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz published a more reader-friendly explanation of the study Monday:
Professor Dr. Jan Esper's group at the Institute of Geography at JGU used tree-ring density measurements from sub-fossil pine trees originating from Finnish Lapland to produce a reconstruction reaching back to 138 BC. In so doing, the researchers have been able for the first time to precisely demonstrate that the long-term trend over the past two millennia has been towards climatic cooling. "We found that previous estimates of historical temperatures during the Roman era and the Middle Ages were too low," says Esper. "Such findings are also significant with regard to climate policy, as they will influence the way today's climate changes are seen in context of historical warm periods." [...]

Friends Palmer, Edwards compete for Bears' 3rd-string QB spot
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter August 28, 2013 8:24PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Jordan Palmer (2) against the Oakland Raiders during the second half of an NFL preseason football game in Oakland, Calif., Friday, Aug. 23, 2013. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
Article Extras
Updated: September 30, 2013 2:05PM
After what might have been their last-ever Bears practice Wednesday, quarterbacks Jordan Palmer and Trent Edwards drove to the airport together to pick up their biggest fans.
Palmer's wife, Dottie, and Edwards' fiancée, Jenna, planned on staying together on the eve of Thursday's preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field.
They've become close since Palmer and Edwards, acquaintances since high school, reconnected after a Bears tryout in June.
The 29-year-olds threw with each other this summer in Huntington Beach, Calif., waiting for the NFL to call. The girls did pilates together.
Tonight, Palmer and Edwards — both added a week-and-a-half ago after Matt Blanchard broke a knuckle — will compete for the third-string job, with Palmer starting.
One — or, if the team decides to keep only two signal-callers, both — of the friends will be cut by the weekend.
"It's a unique position we're in," Palmer, who completed his only preseason attempt at Oakland, said with a smile.
Edwards, who didn't play against the Raiders, said he and Palmer are "both old enough, and know this profession well enough, to know it is what it is."
The tryout could be as much for the 31 other NFL teams, many whose quarterback situations are more volatile than the one at Halas Hall (Matt Leinart, with whom Palmer discussed being out of football three weeks ago over a beach volleyball game, signed with the Bills this week).
Bears coach Marc Trestman called them "both really smart guys" who have "practiced well."
Edwards has started 33 games, all but one with Buffalo from 2007-10, and spent last season as an Eagles backup.
"I'm not gonna know every play that's going to be called; I'm not going to know every player on the field," Edwards said. "Just gotta go out and make plays and find the open guy and throw it to him."
Palmer, who played four games with the Bengals and spent last year with the Jaguars, hasn't thrown a regular-season pass since 2010.
"I feel prepared," he said. "The more I think about the reps I didn't get, the more I'm not focused on going out there and kicking [butt]."
The co-managing partner of a marketing company, Palmer has been interested in business since he realized, as a kid, a difference "talent-wise" between him and his Heisman Trophy-winning brother, Carson.
But he's not ready to return to the boardroom yet.
"You don't know how many opportunities you're going to get and when you're going to get your last one," Palmer said. "So you have to take advantage of the ones that you get."

Welcome to the boards!!!
First, you can call and see if you can get later reservations - they aren't set in stone. You could even call that day from the park and see if there are openings!
Are you staying on site? If so, there are often extra magic hours, times when the parks are open 1 hour early or 3 hours later for resort guests only.
Child swap is a good thing to remember, you swap the kid out and both of you can ride a ride - without standing in line again - you just can't ride together.
If there are 2 lines - always choose the one going to the left.
The guide probably focused on shows because of the age of your daughter. If she is not scared of the characters, you have a lot of chances for great pictures at meet and greets - especially if you chose some character meals!
Most of all - don't worry. Take in what you can and enjoy your time there. Don't be one of those parents that try to do it all, it just can't be done.
Do what you are most interested in! And remember, Dole Whips are a gift from god!~!!

The UK's largest multi-faith celebration, the Commonwealth Day Observance, is attended by Her Majesty The Queen, Heads of Government, High Commissioners, up to 200 other VIPs and more than 1,000 schoolchildren.
The Commonwealth Day Observance takes a different theme each year and in 2014 we are celebrating 'Team Commonwealth.' Through a mix of world music, dance and personal testimonies, the event will express the very real spirit of friendship and motivation towards the shared goals and values that exists between Commonwealth members.
This year we had an exciting line up of speakers and performers, including addresses from inspirational campaigner Malala Yousafzvai, Lord Seb Coe and Baroness Tanni-Grey Thompson. South African poet Phillippa Yaa de Villiers read her specially commissioned poem. Singer-songwriter Laura Mvula performed a piano piece, with further performances from Gordon's School Pipes and Drums band, Visual Statement, The Commonwealth Youth Orchestra and an appearance from Glasgow 2014 mascot Clyde.
Click here for a write up of the event.
Recent speakers at the Observance have included Founder of Avaaz.org Ricken Patel and Sir Richard Branson with performances from Annie Lennox, Rufus Wainwright, Beverly Knight, the Noisettes, and many more! Click here to see past videos from the Observance.

Norenstedt S et al. – Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have higher bone turnover, lower bone mineral density and an increased risk of fractures. They also have a high incidence of low vitamin D levels (25–OH–vitamin D < 50 nmol/l) that could worsen the negative effect on the bone. Except for a minor improvement of radius BMD, the data show no beneficial effect on BMD or bone turnover markers of vitamin D supplementation after PTX. Preoperative PTH seems to have the strongest association with improvement in BMD.
- In this double–blinded clinical trial, 150 patients with PHPT were randomized, after successful parathyroidectomy (PTX), to one–year daily treatment with either cholecalciferol 1600 IU and calcium carbonate 1000 mg (D +) or calcium carbonate alone (D –).
- Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, distal and 33% radius using dual X–ray absorptiometry (DXA) before surgery and after one year of study medication.
- Median age was 60 years (30–80 years) and there were 119 (79%) women and 31 (21%) men.
- 76% had 25–OH–D < 50 nmol/l before PTX.
- 50% had persistent elevated PTH 6 weeks after PTX.
- A similar increase in BMD in the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip was observed in both groups (D + : 3.6%, 3.2% and 2.7%, p < 0.001; D–: 3.0%, 2.3% and 2.1%, p < 0.001).
- Patients with vitamin D supplementation also increased their BMD in distal radius (2.0% (–1.7 – 5.4), p = 0.013).
- The changes in BMD, especially in the hips, were correlated to the baseline concentrations of PTH, ionized calcium and bone markers (p < 0.001).
- Except for the increase in distal radius BMD, a benefit from vitamin D substitution was observed among patients with a persistent postoperative PTH elevation, who also improved their BMD at 33% radius and radius UD (p < 0.05).

InWin has always seemed to be on a fine line with their chassis designs and color choices and today is no different. Most readers of previous InWin chassis reviews, whether mine or anywhere else for that matter, it is always a loves it or hates it kind of crowd.
There aren't too many of their cases where I really completely loved everything about their builds to be perfectly honest. While they may have some really great internal designs, I personally find their designs to be geared towards a much younger group of buyers than myself. Even with that sore spot with me personally, I really think they have got their ducks all in a row and designed something really interesting this time around.
This design has the extremists in mind or those who have a really good HEPA filter in their HVAC system. As if the title didn't give it away, this concept is an open air design to allow users the best of all worlds. There is easy access to the components, besides the use of a Phillip's screwdriver this chassis is pretty much tool-less, gets built from sections of aluminum that are either 2mm thick or 4mm thick and unlike any other open air test bench I have seen to date, this one is designed to also stand upright like a standard chassis while still allowing you to reap all the benefits of the open air concept.
Of course there is plenty more to cover and discuss in the feature set incorporated with the latest submission to our labs, but I have to save something to keep you interested enough to continue reading. That being said, InWin has delivered us the X-Frame Limited Edition Open Air chassis, which is a unique take on what an open air chassis can be.
With that in mind, I will suggest getting a beverage and get ready to be blasted with a ton of images so I can point out in specific detail just what all goes into the design of this limited edition run of open air test benches. Even for those that want to stick to the tower case concept may be surprised to see how this product from InWin may also be a perfect solution for you too.

Answered by
the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî
It is permissible for a Muslim to wear beautiful clothes. It is encouraged for a Muslim to look presentable and nice.
Allah says: "O children of Adam, We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame as well as to adorn you, but the raiment of righteousness, that is the best."
Allah says: "O children of Adam, wear your beautiful apparel when you go to the mosque."
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "No one who has an atom's weight of pride in his heart will enter the Garden."
A man asked: "And if the man likes his clothes to be good and his sandals to be good?"
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Pride means to renounce the truth and to abase people." [Sahîh Muslim]

What should I do when my toddler throws embarrassing tantrums in public?
My 22-month-old has meltdowns in the grocery store that are so embarrassing I just want to hide. I can't give him a time-out or punish him in the store. Everyone stares at us. How can I handle this situation?

i absolutely disagree with the whole spanking idea. why would spanking be ok? just because it worked for u when u grew up? shoot, i got spanked all the time as a kid and i still dont think its the solution and i wouldnt use it on my own kids. there are other ways to discipline ur kid but if u cant discipline them without spanking then maybe its you and not ur kid u should be worrying about. its not that hard to discipline ur kid without raising ur hand to them. and im not saying spanking is abuse cause abuse is different, i just couldnt see myself hitting my daughter no matter how upset she makes me.posted 10/02/2008 by kylieb'smommy
I'm not a spanker, but I was spanked. I don't do it because I don't think it will work with my child. I do, however, smack her hand if she touches something she's not supposed to. I also put her in time-out when she gets too crabby...no matter where we are. Now, all I have to do is ask if she wants to go in the corner, and when she says "no", I tell her to knock it off. Done. She's usually very good after that. We recently stopped giving her bottles, though, and so she's crabby a bit more often, but the threat still works. She's almost 2, and it only took her a few follow-throughs to realize that Mommy means business. Consistency is the key, and I hope you find what works best for you child.posted 09/26/2008 by Tasia'sMama
I have two boys ages 3 and 6. There were times in their lives when I only went to the grocery store at night when my husband was home. If you can get out alone, do it. It will save you and your son much agony. If you absolutely have to bring him, bring an organized list for yourself and a book, snack, small piece of clay or playdoh for him. Keeping him busy and you organized will make the trip much faster. If you cannot stop the meltdown, spanking will only escalate the situation. I feel very strongly that spanking comes from a parent's anger not love. Instead, you might want to take him out of the store, go to the car, cool down, and then if he is calm take him back in with very clear expectations laid out. Try not to be embarrassed. These situations happen to all parents. If you let your emotions get the best of you, you may end up even more embarrassed by your actions insted of by his. Good luck.posted 09/24/2008 by CordeliaAnn
I find that the best thing for my kids is to keep your cool and stay calm. Not always easy to do, understood. I then try to take my son or daughter aside and quietly talk to him or her. I once read, that others around you in a public place may look at you and comment, but alot will understand too. A stranger in a grocery store will eventually forget the episode, but your child will remember how you treat him or her for alot longer. It is not always easy, and I get upset too at times. I just try to think about how I'd like to be treated if I was upset. Afterall, our kids are people too, easy to forget at times. Good luck! You'll be ok.posted 09/05/2008 by fiveam
Your child is who is important in this situation. Don't worry about anyone in the store. if they have ever had kids most of them are fealin band for you not judging you. My 3 year old loves to shop but my 15 month old does not. I try to distract him first thing in the store efor his meltdown starts. Like a surprise snack or toy from home that he doesn't know I brought. When he does have meltdown I ignore him and talk to other people. I have even turned the cart so my back is to him . wehn he loses his audience his tarntrum ends faster. I aslo try to reward him when he good but I don't tell him ahead of time he will get something if he is good because he will want somethin everytime we go out and that is not always possible and I want him to behave with out getting something in return mom of twoposted 09/04/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm a first time mom and my son is 13 months. And I have seen my MANY neices and nephews having their temper tantrums and how my sisters handle it. Honestly there's a time for everything. For you to be gentle and for you to be rough. My honest is opinion is that discipline starts at home. If he doesn't stop when you say NO at home, what makes you think he will when you're out in public? What I have done that works, is hit him. When he has his temper tantrums in public he continues until he gets what he wants or he is absolutely tired. When he gets spanked, #1, I feel that he actually has a reason to cry (and honestly feel better about it), and #2, he forgets what his tantrum was about and after the pain subsides so does his crying and what remained of his tantrum.posted 09/03/2008 by JJ_718
I have a 31 month old boy that has PDD-NOS. Sorry people but I cannot spank, I cannot leave the story. Even if he is beating me up which includes biting, hitting (punching), kicking and of course screaming. Doctors want me to put my son on medications for his outbursts. I can not do that to my son. I rather take a couple hits to the face, than med him up or spank him. What is that going to teach him? He hits mom and she hits me back so it must be okay. I think as parents we all need to find out what works best with our owns kids and not judge other parents for what they choose to do to with there kids. Well of course as it is not abuse. When I'm out at the local Wally World & Tony is pitchin a fit. I'm always trying to make sure Tony doesn't hurt himself, but I ignore it. If people look at me weird and give me that look like I've done something wrong, I laugh and say... like you didn't have one that did the same. EVERY PARENT has had it happen to them.posted 08/31/2008 by Mia Zappa
I am a mother of two and feel that spanking is a failure of parenting. My children have grown up to be outstanding members of their families and communities.posted 08/13/2008 by wtk120506
Hi there, if it helps knowing, we have all been in the same situation. If people are staring, either try to ignore them or think of them as having sympathy for you (because they have been in your same boat). Try diversion first (get them thinking or looking at something else. Then, we try to go home if we sense a storm brewing (usually due to over-tiredness, and lets face it, who among us is on their best behaviour when they are over- tired???). But, if we must, we bend down to the child's level, tell them their behaviour is naughty and if they don't stop, they will go on the naughty step. If this doesn't work, put them on the naughty step RIGHT THERE IN THE STORE. I have done it (sadly many times), it works. Of course your child is only (nearly) 2, so put him there for 2 minutes. It will be the longest 2 minutes of both or your lives, but it gives you both time to calm down. Ignore him while he is on the naughty step. Kisses and cuddles when its all over.posted 07/28/2008 by Sbarc
May i ask, why do you feel you cannot give him a timeout at the store? My kids know/.knew that no matter where we were I could/and would find a timeout spot. They also knew that I was not unwilling to give them a swat on the butt if needed. our 5 yr old knows that if Mommy tells her ' We need to go tothe restroom for an attitude adjustment!" that she is going to be put over my knee in the bathroom for a swat. And guess what? Even child services agrees that that is NOT abuse! She blew up at a local diner with the police chief inthe next booth. I wasrned her to settle down, she did not, and I picked her up off the floor and gave her a swat right there. When I saw him, he nodded is head and told me he wished more parents would do the same. She behaved for the rest of the meal. And it worked for my 3 yr old grandson too. I would warn that sometimes a tantrum can be from being uable to do something and is upset because they can't. Then you need to calm them and help out.posted 07/24/2008 by MommaStoves

'A Good Day to Die Hard' Shows a Little Bruce Willis Action
A while back it was revealed that 'A Good Day to Day Hard,' the fourth sequel in the quarter-century old franchise, would be rated R. Huzzah, right? Well, going by this new clip, it's hard to tell exactly when that decision was made.
J.J. Abrams Officially Directing 'Star Wars Episode 7′
There may have been some wiggle-room yesterday about the news that J.J. Abrams was set to direct 'Star Wars Episode 7,' but Disney and Lucasfilm have confirmed that your new 'Star Wars' director was your old 'Star Trek' director.
'Hot Tub Time Machine 2′ Being Talked Up
Though the film was not the runaway hit hoped for when released in 2010, 'Hot Tub Time Machine' has proved popular enough on home video that MGM is exploring making a sequel to the time-travel comedy. And right now they're talking to everyone but star John Cusack.
'A Good Day to Die Hard' Will be R-Rated
Though the film isn't hitting screens during the four-quadrant friendly summer season, there was concern that 'A Good Day to Die Hard' might stay with the PG-13 rating of its predecessor. But there's no "Yipee-kay-yay, Mister Falcon" for this John McClane, as it turns out the film is R-rated.
'Star Wars' May Also Be Heading to Television
With George Lucas out of Lucasfilm, a number of big changes have already happened. They're developing 'Star Wars Episode 7,' and it looks like a long promised spin-off may be coming out of the mothballs. No, not another Ewok adventure, but the long rumored live-action 'Star Wars' television show.
Pixar Teases Their Upcoming Releases
Though 'Brave' was a welcome respite, Pixar has gone sequel crazy, as their previous two films were sequels and this summer we're getting a prequel in 'Monsters University.' But the studio is also working on three non-sequels for the future, and have released images from each of them.
'A Good Day to Die Hard' TV Spot: Yippie Ki-Yay?
With the new year right around the corner, it's time to get excited about the films of 2013, and though the February release date suggests lowering expectations, we're at least interested in seeing 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' perhaps because there's no way it will be as generic as the last one. Now there's a TV spot and it looks like the movie could be fun.
Charles Durning, Two-Time Oscar Nominee, Dead at 89

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Offers a New Peek at the Film
Christmas has come a little early for 'Star Trek' fans, as J.J. Abrams' sequel 'Star Trek into Darkness' has given Empire Magazine some new stills from the movie. They suggest that the big summer movie will have action, and costumes.

The San Francisco Giants are, as constructed, a decent team. Probably not as good as the Dodgers, probably a little better than the Diamondbacks (but with a lower floor on their win total.) They didn't add much this off-season, save the addition of veteran starter Tim Hudson and slugger Michael Morse, but the talent they have is pretty good.
The Giants have areas of concern (left field), areas of adequacy (SS, 2B, CF), and areas of quality (RF, 1B, 3B). To their credit, they do not look anything like a "stars and scrubs" program until a single player gets hurt, at which point they're cooked.
There is one position the Giants have a serious advantage. At one position, the Giants are the class of the league. Not because of any platoon but because of one man. The Giants have Buster Posey and he's really great.

Essentially, by coding multiplayer first, you can quickly lasso one or three other devs for a quick test, and it allows the developers to put off (very difficult) AI programming for a while, after everyone has learned and balanced the game out.
By starting with no AI multiplayer, devs making single/multiplayer games are able to get a much more polished game out faster.

Nurses eat their young - now I understand why. - page 16
I started working for a sub-acute LTC as the DSD last week. The DON and I hit it off because we have the same vision on what we need to do in order to solve the problems we current have. Early... Read More
2Apr 19, '12 by elle21As a new grad I would never consider a charge nurse position! It's no surprise you're getting the new grads with huge egos. I want to start as a staff nurse with a great preceptor. I would feel like I'm being set up for failure as a charge nurse in an long-term care facility. How many patients would I be responsible for? I also know nothing about core measures. I do know what they are because I grabbed an extra core measures sheet from the hospital, but we were told to worry about that after nursing school when we got a job. It's not nursing school material. I'm graduating in a few weeks and while I think it's ridiculous some of the positions I see want experience because they aren't that complicated, this is one position that should require experience.
0Apr 19, '12 by Teacher SueAlthough I agree with what you are saying, the OP is not an experienced nurse. According to other posts, she just passed her boards a few weeks ago. Her arrogance and condescending attitude, however, are evident in many of her other posts as well. Interesting that a young nurse is advocating eating your young. Wierd.
.Quote from Abby, RNMarie, you are a nurse that eats her young.... you are judgmental even before giving a new nurse a chance. You are letting your experience get in the way of being a possible mentor and seeing nursing through the eyes of a new grad. So many experienced nurses are the ones with a chip on their shoulder. Did you ever stop to think maybe these new grads/inexperienced nurses come across the way they did in the interview because they are trying to impress you with what they know? I'm sorry that you think they don't know much but in nursing school nurses do not learn how to be a nurse, mostly book knowledge to be built upon on the job. I am a new nurse for only one year now and have met many "experienced" nurses that are less than welcoming and are quick to size me up on the first day with an unwelcome look and even no greeting or introduction at all. I have been eaten many times this year. I interview very well and have been offered the RN position every time. I have had four RN jobs in the past year and have been eaten every time except for my current RN job. I hope this post helps other "experienced" nurses to give all new grads hired a fair chance. Oh by the way, having a sense of humor goes a long way when "raising a new nurse", just like raising a child. -
0Apr 19, '12 by Teacher SueIt's not only asinine, it makes no sense at all, grammatically, or in the context of this thread.
Quote from MerlynThis rant is going to be a bad one, because I am sick and tired of students in a nursing school calling themselves Nurses. You are students. You are not a nurse until you pass the boards. No matter what they teach you in Nursing School. If you don't have the license you are not a real nurse. Real Nurses don't have instructors that they can call on when they are in trouble. I put 40+ years in this business and for Dolly Dimple to come alone and Say, "I just graduated form Whoopee School of Nursing. Now I am a nurse just like you." I a slap in the face to me and the other Nurses that have put years into this profession. Now let's talk of Teddy Bears and Hugs. Oh, to remain on the thread. If the job calls for 'experienced Nurses' they mean outside of Nursing School. Maybe they do not have enough time 'to raise a child'. Following the nursing school logic. I have experience in delivering babies when I was a cop in the Air Force. I want a job delivering babies in the hospital and I am not going to take the midwife course because I know how. I deliver 2 of them. Think the hospital will hire me? -
0Apr 19, '12 by MerlynQuote from Teacher SueNo, it's not weird. As W. C. Fields said when asked,"Bill do you liked children?" He said," Depends how they're cooked."Although I agree with what you are saying, the OP is not an experienced nurse. According to other posts, she just passed her boards a few weeks ago. Her arrogance and condescending attitude, however, are evident in many of her other posts as well. Interesting that a young nurse is advocating eating your young. Wierd.

0Apr 19, '12 by cdsgaHonesty is always the best policy-tactfulness also. People interviewing know that people have lives outside of work. There are reservations that cannot be changed. If they want to hire you they will be willing to wait until your trip is over. If it's a crisis, and they turn you down, then it's probably the best for you. If they are inflexible with a hire date, then their needs trump your plans, or they will be very inflexible in the future. Read it however you wish. I think this post is taking a bad turn. Toodles. Have enjoyed it up to now.
0Oct 7, '12 by mmm333LTC/SNF whether post-acute or subacute has trouble attracting and then retaining the calibre of nurses that are able to work in hospitals. Despite the fact that turnover is considered expensive and unacceptable in most areas, SNFs must churn staff in order to keep themselves staffed and avoid giving raises. Sounds like your facility wants levels of expertise that it is not willing to pay for. Good leadership is built on respect for others. If you cannot respect applicants it will be hard to command their respect. And a manager should not get angry or indignant about stuff like this.
Many new grads are so desperate to find work that they overdo it in interviews or commit faux pas. It's worth a chuckle, not worth a head full of seething frustration.Last edit by mmm333 on Oct 7, '12 -
1Oct 7, '12 by mmm333Every floor nurse in most SNFs is called a "charge nurse" or "supervisor"- it's 1) to hang more liability on their shoulders, 2) trick families into thinking that they are speaking to someone in charge of or supervising the entire unit when they call demanding to talk to someone higher up ie "OK then, would you like to talk to the charge nurse?".
BTW I've seen new grads become DSD or ADON in the SNF environment as their first nursing job, or after six months as a "charge nurse" of this sort. Again, they are looking for someone to shunt legal risk onto. new grads should not take these positions. "hitting it off" with the DON = you got stroked and cuddled in the beginning, but in the end you may find that you got more than you bargained for. You may find yourself wearing the blame for systemic problems that loosely fit into your very broad or worse, unwritten job description.Last edit by mmm333 on Oct 7, '12chevyv likes this. -
2Oct 7, '12 by jrwestyou know, to put a different spin on things, my management is putting the new grads in positions like charge nurse, etc, and they either sink or swim. Another new grad, well less than 1 yr floor experience- is precepting students at the local college. Why??? Because they are letting her, and no one else is there to do the job. Nothing against new grads, but I am scared because i have seen the management throw them in to situations they shouldn't be thrown into, and make subsequent mistakes. It also goes back to management not caring about nurses, just that they have a warm body to fill the holes.nursemaddie and Psychtrish39 like this.

You are hereSouth CarolinaSovereign TexasThe Texas State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) met for our regular quarterly meeting in Austin this weekend. As always, the meeting was open to the public. Any interested party with or without media credentials may attend the meetings. As many readers of this site know, the presidential primary system in this country routinely disenfranchises primary voters in important "red" states like Texas. In the last cycle, due to a combination of rules and courts, Texas had one of the last primaries and had to allocate delegates proportionally. This effectively means we had little to no say as to who was nominated—it was already a "done deal" by the time we voted. Read more » Posted under:

Deb and Steve's Cafe boasts a menu full of multicultural twists on Americana favorites and a comfy family-friendly environment. Shareable starters include the four-tiered appetizer combo with fried shrimp, onion rings, mini burgers, and chicken fingers, and entrees such as the customizable Texas-chili burger—made with prime Nolan Ryan beef—or veggie-friendly portobello burger save families the trouble of cooking dinner or paying the government to air-drop them lunch. Steve's famous chicken-salad sandwich silently speaks to poultry prophets, and the new york strip steak arrives with potatoes and veggies, anxious to be devoured and washed down with a fountain drink.
Longtime Dallas residents can still remember when Mama opened her diner in 1958, bustling about the kitchen with her daughters scampering by her side, whipping up her signature hearty country specialties and desserts. More than 50 years later, Mama continues to watch over the kitchen with the help of her daughters, granddaughters, and a loyal kitchen staff. Drawing from Mama's timeless recipes, chefs fry up chicken, steaks, and catfish for the menu of daily specials, while biscuits, peach cobblers, and cinnamon rolls rise in the oven. Servers bear hefty platters out to the cushy booths of the dining room, where Mama's timeless wisdom is written across the walls, including such gems as "Eat your peas and get dessert" and "Don't stare".
Instead of a crystal chandelier, Cowtown Diner's owners opted to install a light fixture fashioned from antlers to reflect their restaurant's rustic atmosphere. Inside the dining area brown leather booths line the exposed brick walls bedecked with colorful artwork and the occasional cowboy hat. The outdoor patio features umbrella topped tables where patrons dig into chicken fried steak, Belgian waffles, and scrambled eggs.
When Norma's Cafe opened in 1956, it was the kind of homey breakfast spot where the food was as comforting as the waitresses were welcoming—they greeted their customers by name. One of those customers was Ed Murph, who later purchased Norma's with the goal of keeping the down-home tradition alive. And according to the Dallas Observer, he succeeded. The paper voted Norma's The Best Home Style Restaurant in 2010, claiming that "the recipes taste as though they haven't much changed." It's those recipes that have made generations of diners—and even food critics—eager to wake up in the morning. Pillowy biscuits blanketed in gravy, chicken fried steaks, and omelets made with farm-fresh eggs are partially responsible for the countless amounts of press and awards Norma's has earned. But credit the atmosphere for a good portion of the popularity. Norma's continues to evoke feelings of a friendlier, simpler time, when the pies were made from scratch, the waitresses knew your name, and the jukeboxes didn't heckle you for your poor music choices.
Buzzbrews Kitchen is not your average coffeehouse. For one, it sees some of its largest crowds in the wee hours of the morning. Two of the shop's three locations are open around the clock, catering both to late-night carousers and early-morning commuters. Whether you think the morning starts at 9 a.m. or 3 a.m., you're likely to find something to love on the 24-hour menu, which loosely focuses on traditional breakfast and Mexican fare. Mochas and lattes are popular throughout the day, and burgers are a hit at lunch and dinner. There's also an impressive selection of wines and beers, which explains why some guests show up with sleeping bags and a desire to never leave.
Chef Tom Fleming has a simple goal: "to create a warm, comfortable experience that our guests relate to home." He and fellow chef Carl Strelecki know that the principle element of this experience is the food itself. That's why they use fresh, simple ingredients—the kinds you'd find in a well-stocked kitchen or a poorly planned bomb shelter—to make breakfast dishes such as buttermilk pancakes and corned beef hash from scratch. When lunchtime rolls around, they deftly switch to savory fare. One of their most popular menu items is the house mac-and-cheese, which they enhance with roasted garlic cream, caramelized onions, and smoked ham.

Reader UI of the Week: Perasite's UI
Greetings, Reader UI of the Week fans. Did you take some time over the weekend to ponder whether or not you could make some fun changes to your user interface? No? Everyone doesn't pour over user interface submissions all weekend like I do? You guys are really missing out!
This week, Reader UI looks at Perasite's user interface, which has a pretty neat layout on the bottom half that pulls off a nice motif with simple borders. The top half of the screen, however, we can talk about. Let's learn a little something from Perasite!

Sue, you did a really great job on that! I love it. Deb |
Oh Sue! I agree with all above and MORE! I Love it! Please don't ever ask me to pick a favorite cause that would be impossible. ~Urlee~ |
Sue, That looks great. Thanks for sharing your paintings every week. I really enjoy seeing them. Teri |
I'm late getting on here today. I see your siggie Sue. But I think it was Urlee who noticed you didn't sign the last one. As usual another nice picture. |
LOL Yes Judy but it's your old eyes that always have to squint looking for the signature. **Grin, duck and Run** Thank you all so much for the comments and encouragement it means a lot to me. HUGS |
I have to admit I do look for it too. Sometimes it is so small I really have to look hard. You have come a long way since that first class!! Judy |
Thanks Judy. I never noticed until someone pointed it out but if you look for it there's a face in the bottom - towards the right. Spooky eh. It's in the original painting too but not as noticable as the photo. Sue :) |
Sue, Now that you pointed it out, I see 3 faces. One on the left of your siggie. One on the right of your siggie. And one in the middle that resembles the "elephant man" with a bonnet on. Side view with the chin under your siggie. My, How we can damage your painting? ~Urlee~ |

Luvs said I should post these picture here, so here goes!
I call the frist photo " Wishing for snow" its a poster frame, made to look like a window has that plastic stuff inplace of glass. second one I dont know what the wood was used for its thin and about 1 1/2 feet tall, saw the snowman and thought he would be perfect for it So what do you painters think? oddie |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are both lovely, very wonderful job done! Would you be complimented or offended if I tried that friends or flakes design on a piece of barn wood I have been waiting for a design for? Suzan J |
Thank you!I would be complimented! but its not my desine, saw it at a web site, had two cute snowman each with a tall hat, I did change the wording on the hat, to kinda make it different. Happy crafting oddie |
Yahoo!! Oddie's painting with us!! :) So glad to see you posted these over here! I like how you accented your "window" piece with the bow. Didn't even notice that before. The oval is still my fav. The colors you used just pop and he's just such a cute little fellow. :) We'd love to have you paint more with us anytime! ~Anj |

Yeah, you posted your snowmen here for us. Thank you. They are just adorable, hope you will be painting more things to share with us too. I always love how you add just the perfect touch like that ribbon on the window--sort of gives the "feel" of a curtain on the inside with the snowmen on the outside. Great job! Luvs |

WOW,Those are GREAT!!! That window one is my favorite~~~~~~~~~~~~NO,The oval is~~~~~~~~~~~~~OH wait,they both are,i'm allowed 2 favorites,right???? TFS Kathi |
Thanks for all the nice compliments! I spent as much time on the frame as the painting, started out a ugly black,painted it white then used a weathered crackle, then the brown, kinda made it look old, and what window at Christmas isnt decorated some way. Kathi you made me laugh, and thank you! Anj and luvs you know I will be back, still have the suitecase to paint! oddie |
