Hidden in the Woods
No official plot yet, but the original revolved around two sisters whom have been raised in isolation, under the atrocity of drug dealing and the incestuous obsession of their grim father. Finally fed up with the abuse, the girls call the police and he's put in jail, but not before killing two of the officers. Free from their father, they now have to escape from Tío Costello, the local drug lord, who's trying to recover a large amount of drugs hidden deep within the woods.
- There's currently no US distribution.
- Original director Patricio Valladares returns to helm this remake.
- Actor/producer Michael Biehn was quoted saying: "HIDDEN IN THE WOODS is a powerful tale of urban violence and "closely faithful to the atmospheres of the original."
- A remake of the Chilean film with the same name.
A UHM staff member has not reviewed this film.

Pinnacle is a lower end product, Zenith is mid-level. When Pinnacle comes out the price point it about $60. What was the original price of Zenith? $110? I got my $60 box greatly discounted and was still sorely disappointed. I'm not a fan of Pinnacle but I've never had a break I was actually disappointed with. You're comparing apples and oranges. I also don't know how following wing me around telling me I should be happy with a terrible Zenith hobby break because my retail Pinnacle break was decent does any good. I say Zenith sucks. Not Panini. Zenith. The only good Zenith breaks I've seen had something really nice in the DTT. If the DTT is a did, the box is a did. I can't see how saying I think people should stay away from a product whose breaks all depend solely on one card warrants this. The product sucks. Panini failed hard on that one. That's all there is to it. What I pulled from a blaster of Pinnacle has zero to do with any of this.

shhh - please dont shout.
With PC off open up the case and disconnect and reconnect all hard drive leads. Boot up and enter BIOS - check here that hard drives are recognised. If not then it would suggest the drive has failed and you will not be able to run a repair. If recognised then boot from cd and enter recovery consol type fdisk /mbr Enter, and reboot.

- Boot from the Windows 7 DVD.
- Select Repair my computer.
- Select Command Prompt
- From the command prompt enter the following command: Chkdsk /R C: where "C" is your boot drive.
- Answer Y to check the disk the next time that the system restarts.
- Reboot the system. After the reboot, Windows will check the hard disk and try to repair the damaged area.
- If you still get the error after this process, repeat the process but try rebuilding the master boot record at the command prompt with the following command: bootrec /fixboot and then rebooting

FOXBORO — Over Memorial Day weekend, pictures surfaced of Rob Gronkowski partying with Johnny Manziel in Las Vegas.
Photos and some video were posted on Twitter and Instagram of the pair drinking and dancing at the Daylight Beach Club surrounded by loud music and women in bathing suits. Gronkowski's never been one to step away from the spotlight away from the football field.
But after a weekend of partying and acting like your typical 25-year-old on Spring Break, Gronkowski showed a different side on Wednesday. The screams were still there — and so were the cameras — but this time his audience was at Foxboro's Igo Elementary School.
Participating in the PLAY 60 and PLAY 60+ charity event, Gronkowski emerged in the school's gym to screams of a younger generation — one that looks up to this budding superstar. He gave out high fives, told the students to work out and eat healthy and even helped put several through an exercise program.
When the photos emerge this time, they will show Gronkowski acting like a role model. Along with several of his teammates, Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft was also present. The team's owner said Gronkowski has always been a good soldier with the Patriots.
"He's such a well-intentioned guy," Kraft said. "He's a lot of fun. I have never seen Gronk, in all the time with us, ever say or do anything that had a negative overtone. He's always up. When you're building a team atmosphere with people from different backgrounds and different places, having someone like Gronk in your system is uplifting. Especially if he's on the field all the time."
Whether he can stay on the field is the biggest question entering this season.
On Tuesday, Gronkowski was back at Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots started their first day of organized team activities. The tight end, who is rehabbing from last year's ACL injury, didn't participate. Gronkowski underwent ACL surgery in January and said this offseason has been better than last year's.
"It's way different stuff. But this year, just basically got to be patient and just work hard," Gronkowski said. "Literally, just give it all I have every single day. Like right after this Play 60 event, I'll be going right into the building to go work out with my teammates, go do the rehab, go study up and everything. All I can ask for is to work hard every day and let the body heal and do what it does. Hopefully when it comes down to it, I'm ready to roll."
Last year, Gronkowski had undergone his fourth forearm surgery by May. In June, he had back surgery — a microscopic lumbar discectomy. After all the setbacks, he missed the first six weeks of the season. When he did return, he instantly became Tom Brady's top target, catching 39 passes for 592 yards in seven games before suffering a season-ending ACL tear.
Though he hasn't been out on the field with the Patriots this week, he was in good spirits on Wednesday. He bounced around with the students and several senior citizens. He looked nimble as he tried to wrestle with Julian Edelman during a relay race.
"It's coming along good," Gronkowski said. "Just rehabbing every day. Just improving every single week. That's all I can ask for. As long as I'm improving every single week, that's all I can ask for."
Gronkowski's offseason partying has been well-documented. Last year, a video surfaced of him wrestling shirtless and body slamming one of his brothers in a Las Vegas nightclub, while his left arm was still in a cast. In 2012, he was seen dancing — again shirtless — after the Patriots' Super Bowl XLVI loss to the New York Giants.
But on Wednesday, Gronkowski showed that there are different kinds of off-the-field activities that can work in his and the team's favor. When asked why it's important for him to come to charity events like the one at Igo Elementary, Gronkowski said, "It's very important."
"We're role models to these kids and we can get a message across to them," Gronkowski said. "[Wednesday]'s message is to play 60 minutes a day, be running around and always be exercising. That's good for you. That's good for your body. That's good for your health. If we can get to them now as kids, it'll be great for them in the future."
The Patriots future very well could sit on the massive shoulders of Gronkowski. Kraft can attest to the tight end's hard work and said he hopes to see the results.
"Well, I do, do my Play 60 every day and I'm down in the training room," Kraft said. "He's been there and he's been very diligent and working very hard. Now we just hope it translates to the field."

flimsy plastic joints on fold down handles, drive wheels should have more tread for grip. easy pull start a bit optimistic, clogs up if grass isnt bone dry, sits and spins if it bottoms out, customer service from titan is laughable. spend a bit more and get a quality brand. engine does seem to be fuel efficient.

Despite its Northern name, the Boston Butt is a favorite cut of meat in the South. It's the best part of the hog to roast and in some areas is also known as pulled pork. Being so tender, it's easy to tear apart, and break into smaller pieces for the sweetest sandwiches around.

Guitar Intensives is delighted to welcome back Grammy-winning guitarist Mike Dowling. He draws inspiration from deep in the musical bag of American roots guitar firmly grounded in authenticity and possessed of a musical soul as old as the vintage music he favors. Fluent in several styles and difficult to pigeonhole, Mike has captured the hearts of acoustic music fans throughout the world with his engaging voice, self-deprecating wit, and elegant interpretations of an arsenal of old blues, swing, ragtime, and original compositions
"I don't play guitar when Dowling's in the band. You don't take the game warden fishing" — Jethro Burns
ANDRA FAYE (picture coming)
It's no wonder that Andra Faye is an inspiration to so many! A versatile multi-insumentalist, she plays mandolin, fiddle, bass and guitar — all of which she plays in Sapphire — Uppity Blues Woman. As if that were not enough, Andra is a powerful vocalist. We look forward to welcoming her to Guitar Intensives where she will teach Mandolin, Fiddle, Vocals and Harmony, and Band Labs.
A multi-instrumentalist and singer long recognized as an interpreter of '20s and '30s blues, Martin Grosswendt was once described by Utah Phillips as "a rumor in his own time." As a more recent writer has said, "While his name is not a household word, among musicians and fans of country, blues and folk, he is sort of an underground legend, a musician of extraordinary talent." He plays six- and twelve-string guitar, mandolin, five-string banjo, fiddle, bass, Cajun accordion, and Dobro. Martin is equally at home playing the old-time music of the Southern Appalachians or the Cajun and Creole music of Southwest Louisiana.
Known for his blues guitar and mandolin work, Martin has been a performer, session musician, and teacher for nearly four decades. For the last several years he was music director for and taught at Banjo Camp North, Mandolin Camp North and Old Time Music Camp North in Massachusetts. Martin has performed and taught at festivals and camps throughout the Northeast. His most recent recording is Call and Response, a collection of pre-war acoustic blues.

Shadowrun Returns is now available for pre-order on Steam. The game was crowdfunded via Kickstarter back in April of 2012, receiving over $1,800,000 dollars from its fans.
Shadowrun started as a role-playing game, akin to Dungeons and Dragons, almost 25 years ago. The game is set in the near future, blending cyberpunk and high fantasy together to create a unique universe. Large mega corporations control most of the world that is inhabited by humans, orcs, trolls, elves, dwarves, and many other creatures.
Those living in this universe can interact with a worldwide neural network, aptly named the Matrix. When companies or criminal organizations need unpleasant tasks handled, they hire shadowrunners, specialists with no identities, to complete them.
It's been almost seven years since the last Shadowrun-inspired video game was released. The cross-platform, multiplayer-only FPS game for Xbox 360 and PC was considered a flop when it released in 2007, and its backstory is considered non-canon. Its lack of sales and users led to the servers being shut down by 2008.
Shadowrun Returns is a reestablishment of Shadowrun within the video game world. Returning to its roots, the game is being developed by Harebrained Schemes with Jordan Weisman, the original creator of the franchise. The game is designed as a 2D turn-based RPG with a focus on tactical combat and immersive storytelling through character development.
Players will be able to take on the roles of shamans, mages, street samurai, and more as they delve through the Shadowrun's single-player campaign. When players have completed the main story, they can then go online and download community-created stories and levels designed in the provided level editor.
You can pre-order one of two versions of the game on Steam now. The standard edition of the game will release for $19.99 and a digital deluxe version will retail for $34.99. The deluxe version includes the full Shadowrun Returns soundtrack as well as illustrated PDF short stories written and edited by Jordan Weisman himself. If you pre-order now you will receive a 10% discount on your version of choice before the game comes out sometime this June.

How big is each All-Star team's cap hit?
Cam Lewis
January 24 2015 09:00AM
Here you go, just what you wanted — some cold hard facts regarding the NHL All-Star game. I know, you probably never would have guessed, but neither Team Foligno or Team Toews is cap compliant. Team Foligno seemed to go nuts with their spending money, as they came in with a cap hit of $118.227, while Team Toews was much more frugal, icing a team that would cost $114.785.
Toronto: a tale of two teams
Cam Lewis
January 23 2015 08:00AM
It's been a tale of two teams in Toronto this season. On one hand, you have the Leafs who seemed to be legitimate playoff contenders in mid-December, but on the other, you have the team who has fallen off a cliff by the All-Star break. The Leafs have lost their last six games and fans appear to be draft watching at this point, a far cry from where they were just two months ago when they were in the midst of a six game winning streak.
When things were riding high for the Leafs, they had a stretch between Nov. 20 and Dec. 16 where they went 10-1-1, improving their record from 9-8-2 to 19-9-3. Since Dec. 18, which was the end of their six game winning streak, the Leafs have gone 3-14-0. Over that time, their record has fallen from a very respectable 19-9-3 all the way to 22-23-3.
So which of these two versions of the Toronto Maple Leafs is legitimate? Are they as good as they seemed to be back in early December when times were good, or are they as bad as they are right now in the thick of their longest losing streak of the season? Let's break down each streak and see.

Emigration from Colombia
Emigration from Colombia is determined by economic, social, and security issues linked mainly to the Colombian armed conflict. Emigration from Colombia is one of the largest in volume in Latin America. According to the 2005 Colombian census or DANE, about 3,331,107 Colombian citizens currently permanently reside outside of Colombia.[1][2] Other estimates, however, suggest that the actual number could exceed 4 million, or almost 10 percent of the country's population.[3] Approximately 1.2 million Colombians are believed to have left the country during 2000–5 and not returned.[3]
The population movement in recent years toward North America and Europe in particular has been motivated in some cases by the threat of violence but more typically by the search for greater economic opportunity.[3] Due to the current sociopolitical situation in Colombia, emigration affects Colombians of all social standings and geographic zones. The highest rates of emigration have been registered in the main urban centers of the interior zone of the country: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Bucaramanga, Pereira, Manizales, and Cúcuta.[citation needed]
Destinations and diaspora[edit]
External migration is primarily to the United States, Venezuela, Spain, and Ecuador.[4] As of 2003, the estimated Colombian population in those countries was 2,020,000, 1,340,000, 240,000, and 193,000, respectively.[4] Panama, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom also have significant (>20,000) populations of Colombian emigrants.[4] In 2003, North America was the destination for 48 percent of Colombian emigrants; Latin America and the Caribbean, 40 percent; Europe, 11 percent; and Asia, Oceania, and Africa, 1 percent.[3]
Perhaps the most well-known concentration of Colombians abroad is the Jackson Heights section of Queens, one of the five boroughs of New York City. It is sometimes called El Chapinerito or "Little Chapinero" after a middle-class section of Bogotá with similar architecture and ambiance. More recently, the area of Jackson Heights associated with Colombians has become home to Mexican and Ecuadorian immigrants. Other Queens neighborhoods with a Colombian presence are Elmhurst, Corona, and Woodside. The 2006 American Community Survey put out by the US Census Bureau reports that 80,116 persons claiming Colombian origins live in Queens, while 244,164 are spread out in the entire New York metropolitan area.[5][6]
Colombian restaurants and bakeries are important institutions for the Colombian diaspora. These eateries have popularized formerly regional dishes like the well-portioned Bandeja paisa among Colombians from all parts of the country.
Social and economic impact[edit]
Colombians living abroad—1.5 million of whom departed during the economic downturn between 1996 and 2002—have had a positive effect on the balance of payments thanks to remittances to family and friends at home.[3] According to Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, the value of remittances from Colombians living abroad is ranked third as the main source of income in Colombia and has already surpassed the value of coffee exports.[citation needed]
But external migration to the United States or Europe has represented a definite loss of talent and energy because migrants to the developed world tend to be better educated and in the prime of working life.[3] Some estimates would have roughly half the physicians trained in Colombia during certain years, at great expense to fellow Colombian taxpayers, now working in the United States.[3] Then, too, there are communities (as in Mexico, for example) that have been so drained of young workers that they find themselves dependent on the flow of remittances.[3] Several municipalities in the vicinity of Pereira in western Colombia, hard hit by troubles in the coffee industry and the competition of cheap Asian labor in garment exporting, exemplify the latter phenomenon.[3]
Human trafficking[edit]
The Colombian government has developed prevention programs against illegal groups that offer emigration help to unsuspecting people, many of whom are eventually forced into slavery, forced prostitution and human trafficking in foreign countries.

Culture Warrior: Politics of Identity in 'X-Men: First Class'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on June 7, 2011 | Comments (8)Themes of identity, difference, stigma, and othering are explicitly or implicitly present in much of the X-Men mythology, whether expressed through comics, television shows, or films. While I was never a devotee to the comics, as a fan of the 90s animated television series and (some of) the recent slate of Hollywood films (that have, as of this past weekend, effectively framed the continually dominant superhero blockbuster genre), I've always been fascinated by the series' ability to take part in the language of social identity issues. Fantastic genres like horror and sci-fi have often provided an allegorical means of addressing social crises (vampire films as AIDS metaphor, zombie movie as conformist critique, or Dystopian sci-fi as technocratic critique, for example). The superhero genre has possessed a similar history in this capacity, even though it has thus far been mostly unrealized in the medium of film. As big entertainment, superhero films ranging from the first Spider-Man to the Iron Man films have bestowed narratives of exceptionalism and wish-fulfillment rather than shown any aspiration towards critique or insight. Perhaps The Dark Knight is most involved example of social critique thus far – a film that explores themes surrounding the personal toll on fighting terror and the overreaches of power that can result in the name of pursuing safety. What X-Men: First Class (almost) accomplishes is mining fully the allegorical territory made available by its fantastic premise in a way that few previous comic book films have.

Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 18, 2011 | Comments (19)Combing through movie news and trivium all day is enough to make someone jaded. Thus, it's important to remember when a piece of fluff marketing like this comes out, to keep a level head about what it really means. Does it say anything about the movie itself? Not really. Does it say something about the photoshop skills of whoever made it. Certainly. With that in mind, here's the first official cast picture from X-Men: First Class, showing off a little midriff on January Jones, a little stone cold stare from everyone else, and a whole lot of cheese.

I have two windows in my backsplash and here's what it looked like originally. You can see it's a little above the countertop. I just had granite installed and since the granite is thicker than the laminate, the window on the right is now a little below the countertop. This wouldn't be a problem except the window on the left is a tiny bit above the countertop. What the heck am I supposed to do with this? I put a level on the countertop to see if it's off and it's not. I'm guessing my windows are off, but I didn't notice it when they weren't so close to the countertop. I really don't want to cover the windows, because that's the only natural light I have in there, but is that my only choice? |

What is the height difference? I'm thnking you shim the inside of the low window to the height of the other one and then do granite tile for the interior so that it blends almost seamlesly with minimal height lippage. |
This post was edited by live_wire_oak on Fri, Mar 1, 13 at 12:13
live_wire - What do you mean my shim? Would I cut a piece of wood the size of the the opening on the right side? I hadn't even thought about that! The only problem I woud have then is the the window on the left has such a small piece above the countertop that I don't think I could tile it like it was before. Any ideas what to cover that tiny section with? |
- Posted by live_wire_oak TN (My Page) on Fri, Mar 1, 13 at 12:08
What you use to make up the height difference depends on what the height difference is. Using the same granite color as the counter as a tile to cover it would make the problem virtually disappear. |

Use the same material as your counter to cover the windowsill areas, but make the one over the lower window is thick enough (underneath) - or shimmed up -to come out even with the height of the higher windowsill when covered with "matching" thickness of the counter top material. You could get tricky and have these pieces cut with a little lip to extend down to the counter surface, or fudge it with some other material or paint to blend in the gap between the counter and the edge of windowsill trim piece (s). HTH L> |
Ok, I think I'm starting to understand what you're both talking about now. That liitle lip had me stumped also. Hopefully my granite guy still has some of my granite if I decide to go this route. From the lowest point on the right to the highest point on the left is about 3/4". |

I'm convinced Bob has been spying on my heart.
I've been tracking pretty well with some of the quasi-personal stuff he's been posting lately.
Maybe something's in the air, because I'm hearing this growing dissatisfaction with Jesuslessness in the churches more and more. I kind of ranted about it at Element last night in my message on The Church (part two in a three-part series on the kingdom called "Invasion"), and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Putting a finger on the problem really strikes a nerve with people who aren't sure exactly what's ailing them.
Anyways, Bob highlighted a great post this week by Dave Cruver: "Proverbs 13:12″. I hope you (and Dave) won't mind if I reprint it in its entirety.
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life" (Proverbs 13:12).The gospel is "I am accepted through Christ, therefore I obey" while every other religion operates on the principle of "I obey, therefore I am accepted." Martin Luther's fundamental insight was that this latter principle, the principle of 'religion' is the deep default mode of the human heart. The heart continues to work in that way even after conversion to Christ. Though we recognize and embrace the principle of the gospel, our hearts will always be trying to return to the mode of self-salvation, which leads to spiritual deadness, pride and strife and ministry ineffectiveness.
– Tim Keller, "Preaching in a Post-Modern City"Recently, I attended a service with another local body of believers in PA. They were friendly. The Pastor demonstrated a loving and "pastoral" heart for his people. I believe at this particular service I attended, he was shorthanded and had to fulfill not only the preaching responsibilities but also the music portion, as well. I was looking forward to being challenged by God's Word and pointed to my Savior.
The Pastor directed our attention to the verse,
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life (Proverbs 13:12).
My mind raced to possible connections to the Gospel from the first time he read the verse. "Ohh!! This is going to be good! Something I need to hear!" This hope, he said, is not like "I hope it doesn't rain." It is a desire for something that will most surely come to pass. It is more like, "I hope to go on vacation next week!"
Suppose I am at the grocery store, and I say, "I hope to get to the cashier soon." And then there is a person in front of me who has 16 items rather than "15 items or less" AND there is someone who has a product with no bar code on it so a price check is requested. AND there is someone else who drops a glass jar with the words echoing throughout the store, "clean up at register 4!" (ok – I added that last part. You had to hear his descriptions of events). But this is what the word deferred means. It is a delay in receiving what we hope for.
This delay in receiving what we hope for makes the heart sick. I hope to get to the cashier, but all of these things are delaying me! At this point, the pastor described what happened when he was very sick a few weeks ago. He wanted to watch TV, so he got up from his bed (already weak from being sick) and crawled toward the living room. He tired out and rested in the hallway. After a short while, he began to crawl again toward the living room. After a few delays of a sick and weakened body, he finally made it to the couch where he could watch TV.
"Sickness will come!" he exclaimed. "Expect it!" He admonished. "Get up and keep going!" he exhorted.
He then briefly touched on the last portion of the verse, "a desire fulfilled is a tree of life". When we hope for things and circumstances delay our obtaining them, keep going! Keep working to obtain it! Just like he wanted to watch TV but was delayed because he was sick and weak.
At the end of his sermon, he pleaded for people to come to Christ. He said something to the effect, "If you have not trusted Jesus as your personal Savior, please do so before it is too late!"
One weekend I watched a children's television program while Owen was playing in the living room. Every so often, when something peculiar happened on the program, he would stop what he was doing and watch. On this particular episode, one of the puppet characters was dejected and lost all confidence of doing anything. The whole program's point was, "have confidence in yourself because you can do it! You can do anything you put your mind to! Believe in yourself!"
The point of this child's program was, in essence, "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps and keep going!"
Now, this pastor was exegetically accurate and precise. He conveyed the meaning of the verse fairly well. He was not boring. He was engaging. His love for the people of which he is Undershepherd was compassionately displayed.
But there was no GOSPEL! The pastor's main point conveyed was, "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps and keep going!"
We may be exegetically accurate and precise. And we may convey the meaning of the text as the original hearers (possibly) understood it, but when it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, it's still moralism. It's a promotion of self-salvation. At the very core, both teachings are saying, "Jesus' finished work is not enough! Go and do! Save yourself!!"
For a preacher of the Gospel, it is sad there was no preaching of the Gospel.
For all of us, it is sad there is so little preaching of the gospel.
But I am hopeful. There is something in the air. Perhaps the tide is turning.

Hi welcome to my homepage. On this page you will find some stories about my life. Just the things that are happening at home, work etc .. nothing special ..
Have fun reading my homepage and if I can invite you to visit my travelpages, be my guest, your most welcome :-)
Unfortunatelly I dont check my VT-site as much as I want to ...
>< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< ><
Wel lets see, al lot of things happened in the last half year. In December 2005 my Cat Zoekie died, I think he missed his brother cat Cosmo I had to put to sleep earlier this year. Because his health was running backwards day by day. Also my 2 new cats Gizzmo and Mikkie never could replace the empty feeling left behind.
In Januari of this year I changed my job, so now Im working only 1,5km from home, GREAT. No traffic-jams anymore, if I want, and if I feel like it, I walk to work, if not, I will just take the car :-))
And not to forget my trip to Israel last May. I loved it and I am going back for sure. But due to health reassons I dont think it will happen this year. Maybe one last trip within 2 months ..
I will try to upload the pics as soon as I can, I have 6 rolls of film so there must be some pics good enough share with you all.
I have visited Eilat and Tel Aviv and as you all know in between there is not much to see but sand, dessert, and if you are lucky a Camel.
TodayAlthough Eindhoven Airport is a small airport, we sometimes have some nice toys for boys
Landed 27 October 2005.
Today, April 10th, I had my first competition after 8 years not been active in horse-riding.
Oh boy .. I was so nervous. I started to use some "Valeriaan" 4 days in front, but it didnt help. So someone told me he had the best solution to get over my nervousness. I should take a drink, or 2 :-))
And believe me it worked !! I had a Malibu-Cola at 14.00 hrs and one at 17.00 hrs. By the time it was my turn I was so relaxed, the horse was even more nervous :-))
I became 5th of the 13 competitors.
So now I cant wait for the next competition to begin, now I know I can do it without any stress, and next time I dont need that drink anymore.
After a short holiday I had to go back to work today. And on my desk I found this enveloppe, and inside there was a birthday card from my friend Dalia who lives in Israel. She wanted to congratulate me and she send me a little present.
She send me a necklace with a "magen David star", one of the important symbols in Israel. She told me she hopes I like the souvenir .. do I like it ??
I feel very special to got it from her and I will wear this David star with all my heart. Im sure this will make her feel very special to.
Easter is comming up this weekend and not to forget .. my birthday .. I will not stay at home to celebrate, I will be visiting ALMELO for 3 days. I hope to get some more info and some nice pics about this city because there's not much to find on VT about it.
Enjoy your weekend !!
And for all the dutch people a little poem about easter my mother told me when I was young.
1 ei is geen ei
2 ei is een half ei
3 ei is een paasei
21st of March, the beginning of Spring, but the beginning of a sad day for me. After 16 years sharing life's joys and sorrows I had to say goodbye to my best friend and lovely cat Cosmo, yesterday evening. Due to a stupid misstep he broke his spine.
He wanted to jump on my kitchen chair and forgot to bend a little bit so he hit the edge of the table.
He was paralysed instantly. So I had no other choice as putting him to sleep.
He has had a wonderfull live for the past 16 years, was never ill and was always happy and cheerfull, even at the vet he struggled for his life for 45 minutes, he didnt wanted to give up .... I could see the fear in his eyes. But finally he stopped breathing....
I barried him in my garden and today I stayed home from work and I bought an "Rododendron "COSMOpolitan" to put on his grave.
March 6th, I went to visit the Memorial Center in Westerbork. Its made by and made for all the Jewish, Sinti and Roma people who were transported from this camp to an extermination camp elsewere.
It was very impressive and very unreal for me. This all happened just 27 years before I was born ... Sometimes I thing we still didnt learned from it ...
I certainly go back to visit this camp again, it was to much for 1 day.
The travelogue is still under construction, but Im working on it.

Minn. Prosecutor To Appeal Assisted Suicide Ruling
A Minnesota law banning the offering of advice or encouragement about how to commit suicide is an unconstitutional restriction on free speech, the state appeals court ruled Monday. The decision by a three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals was hailed as a "grand slam" victory by Robert Rivas, an attorney for the Final Exit Network. Two members of the national right-to-die group are charged in the 2007 suicide of Doreen Dunn, a 57-year-old Apple Valley woman who had suffered from chronic pain for more than a decade. Prosecutors "don't have one scintilla of evidence from the scene" to support the charges that the two Final Exit Network members assisted in Dunn's suicide, Rivas said.

Hi, I apologize if these questions have already been answered but I´ve been looking through some pages and couldnt find them, so here I go.
I´ve just read Death Note, vol 1-12 and I came here. I´ve seen some people talk about other DN books and I´m very interested in reading them too. I´ve heard of some one-shots, a test chapter, something called "How to read 13" so I guess there's a volume 13? I really want to read these as I really enjoyed the 12 volumes.
Thanks in advance,

Landmark Study Cites 12-to-1 Return on Investment
MINNEAPOLIS, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearScript today announced that it is introducing Medication Therapy Management (MTM) as a benefit option to employer health plans across the US. A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association cites a 12-to-1 return on investment for patients receiving MTM services through improved health outcomes and lower total health care expenditures.
"We are pleased to move MTM from successful pilot stage to a fully-fledged service available directly to employers," said Mike Reinke, ClearScript President. "MTM meets an urgent need for employers and health plan managers who are scrambling to contain plan costs while optimizing employee health and satisfaction."
ClearScript will provide MTM services through a network of specially trained pharmacists who provide 1-on-1 consultations with patients struggling with chronic diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension. Together with the patients' physicians and other healthcare providers, MTM pharmacists help patients solve medication-related problems, adhere to drug regimens and achieve optimal health outcomes.
ClearScript's MTM service model was developed collaboratively by
Fairview Health Services and the University of Minnesota College of
Pharmacy. Study results are documented in the March, 2008 issue of the
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association in an article entitled
Clinical and Economic Outcomes of Medication Therapy Management Services:
The Minnesota Experience (Isetts, et al. J Am Pharm Assoc.
2008;48(2):203-211). The article reports on the effects of face-to-face MTM
services in 285 patients with multiple medical conditions and complex drug
therapies compared against a similar group of 252 patients who did not
receive MTM services. Patients receiving MTM services demonstrated
