The restaurant is not very big but has a nice and rustic interior. Also our waitress made the stay that we felt home very soon. Steaks and dessert (chocolate cake) were excellent.
Great Food and atmosphere. A fun place to unwind after a day spent on the mountains. Excellent value. We stop in everytime we spend anytime in Revelstoke.
We love the Great White North! The log bar, the moose heads, the cozy cabin feel...this place makes you want to chill out with your friends, enjoy a delicious meal and nice cold bevy.
Great White North Restaurant Just before Revelstoke there is a lovely little restaurant called Great White North. You expect a burger place, and it has burgers, sure. What you don't expect, and get, are mozzarella and ricotta stuffed ravioli or braised short ribs or steaks. Prices are as expected, you can eat for $15 or for $30, but really, you... More
Been there a few times and the food is always great. Its not in the core part of town so its probably missed a lot.
Great White North's food ranges dependent on who is cooking. Sometimes it is AWESOME and sometimes - ok. Love their side salad though! Also=if you are there in the spring, watch all the hummingbirds fight over the feeders! Amazing experience!
Good meals, fun atmosphere. Better than your average bar and grill.
We took a chance on this place while staying in Revelstoke-unfortunately they had dropped some menu items I had heard about. But they were helpful in choices of food. The burgers were tasty, but the chicken seemed like it had been frozen too long. Still tasted okay, but nothing beyond average. The atmosphere & service were very good though--it was... More
This is my 4th or 5th trip here. The last was the worst.. The food turned up lukewarm and took 1/2 hour to serve from the time of order. The servers were polite and apologetic, but couldn't cope. I heard they used to run the food on the ski hill nearby, but lost it. I think they need a management... More

634.686 Europeans Have Signed Against Nuclear Energy
In order to fight the comeback of nuclear power, we have collected more than half a million signatures against nuclear power in Europe.
Nuclear power is the problem, not the solution!
Europe must stop wasting taxpayers' money to protect a dangerous and expensive technology. 20 years after the Chernobyl disaster, nuclear power remains the most dangerous mechanism for electricity generation. Nuclear energy is also no solution to climate change. And, globalised terrorism makes nuclear power stations and the uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear material a serious security hazard.
Piebalgs welcomes gift boxes full of signatures on nuclear treaty's 50th birthday
Brussels, March 23 – Ahead of the 50th anniversaries of the EU and its pro-nuclear Euratom Treaty, 780 organisations and 630,000 individuals have demanded abolition of Euratom and a phase-out of nuclear power across Europe.
European Energy Commissioner Piebalgs received birthday presents packed with signatures today, and campaigners encouraged EU member states to consider the legally sound option of unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear treaty.
More about nuclear power
Governments across Europe turn a blind eye on the fact that the majority of the Europeans is opposing nuclear energy. By collecting one million signatures against nuclear power in Europe, we will make sure that the voice of the citizen will be heard.

Dynasty Expert's League Rounds 5 and 6 Results
Quarterback and Wide Receivers runs dominate these rounds
Another day, another 2 rounds in the books of the DraftCalc Classic Dynasty Expert League. We have worked thru rounds 5 and 6 and teams are taking shape. You can see my comments about the first 4 rounds thru these links:
Here is what happened in round 5:
1) WR DeAndre Hopkins (DraftCalc)
2) WR Torrey Smith (FootballGuys; comment: "There may be some better wide receiver options on the board in regards to 2013 production, but Torrey Smith is an up and coming young talent waiting to emerge. I like his chances to branch out this year as the Ravens primary receiving target. I expect him to lineup all over the field, running the entire route tree, including being a big red zone threat. He is a gem waiting to happen.")
3) QB Colin Kaepernick (Bruno Boys)
4) QB Drew Brees (RotoProfessor)
5) WR Jordy Nelson (Fantasy Knuckleheads)
6) QB Russell Wilson (Xs & Ys Podcast; comment: "QB stampede is winding down. I don't necessarily see top 3 potential from Wilson, but steady QB1 for a long time? Absolutely.")
7) WR Wes Welker (Wild Thing Football)
8) WR Tavon Austin (FantasyIndex; comment: "Too soon? Mebbe, but if the guy turns out to be a difference-maker rather than the safer but less dynamic options available at this point, I want him on my team.")
9) QB Matt Ryan (DrFootball; comment: "Youth over Brady")
10) RB Ryan Mathews (Dynasty Football Warehouse)
11) QB Matthew Stafford (Fantasy Taz)
12) QB Tom Brady (Fantasy Football Starters; comment: "While he lacks long term appeal, for the next few years Brady is still among the elite fantasy QB's and to get him here is nigh criminal")
Observations from round 5:
*-As I said yesterday, I knew the QB run was going to happen from late round 4 thru this round and when all was said and done, 9 QB's were selected since the 8th pick of round 4 thru the end of this round. I really wanted Colin Kaepernick as he is not just ranked in my top 10 fantasy QB's for 2013, but should also be a dynasty league stud for years to come. But I knew he wasn't going to fall to me when I failed to be able to make a trade up to get him. However I was very happy to get Brady as I was getting nervous after watching Brees, Ryan, and Stafford all go before my picks. Thankfully, in my opinion, Xs & Ys selected Russell Wilson instead of one of the QB's I really was hoping would fall to me. If Brady had been gone and Wilson had fallen to me, I probably would have held out until round 7 to take a QB as I am not convinced Wilson is a future star. In that scenario I was ready to go back to back with WR's in rounds 5 and 6.
*-Two rookie WR's went this round in DeAndre Hopkins and Tavon Austin. While both have a lot of upside, I'm not sure I like either over more proven guys like Marques Colston and Dwayne Bowe. But if they hit, they'll be great for years to come. I just am always leery of buying into rookie hype as it's more often just that: hype. And there has been a lot of hype with both of these rookie WR's.
Round 6
1) WR Marques Colston (Fantasy Football Starters; comment: "3 consecutive years with 80+ receptions, over 1,000 yards and 25 total receiving TD's makes Colston a solid WR2 and while he only likely has another 3 years at a high level, I'll bank them over the other options available here")
2) WR Eric Decker (Fantasy Taz)
3) WR Mike Wallace (Dynasty Football Warehouse)
4) TE Jason Witten (DrFootball)
5) WR Josh Gordon (DraftCalc)
6) WR Danny Amendola (Wild Thing Football)
7) WR Dwayne Bowe (Xs & Ys Podcast; comment: "Nice high-upside No. 3 in start-three-receiver format. Don't love Alex Smith by any means but No. 1 target in Andy Reid offense does intrigue")
8) WR Reggie Wayne (Fantasy Knuckleheads)
9) WR Antonio Brown (RotoProfessor)
10) RB Frank Gore (Bruno Boys; comment: "His age is against him, however can't pass on a RB3 that averaged 4.7 yards per carry last year and plays on one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL.")
11) TE Kyle Rudolph (FootballGuys; comment: "I really contemplated this pick an awful lot. As I said when I took Aaron Hernandez, a stud TE is huge in dynasty leagues. Getting two is a luxury and lineup saver, especially when I can flex one if needed. Rudolph has Gronk-like efficiency in the red zone and likely will be the main goal line target this year and many years to come.")
12) WR Jeremy Maclin (Fantasy Knuckleheads)
Observations from round 6:
*-I figured there was going to a WR run this round and there was. 10 WR's were selected this round. Colston's age concerns me a little but his production just stood out as clearly better than the other options. Dwayne Bowe was my next highest ranked WR and he went a few picks later.
*-While Dynasty Football Warehouse took his 5th WR in 6 rounds, he also pulled off a trade during this round where he sent Julio Jones to Xs & Ys Podcast for RB LeSean McCoy. I think it was a straight up deal but if I had been Xs and Ys, I would have made draft pick swap part of the deal since DFW had a serious need for a RB (I turned down trading Jamaal Charles for A.J. Green) and McCoy was selected several spots ahead of Jones.
*-DraftCalc had traded away the last pick of this round in a prior deal with Fantasy Knuckleheads. But Smitty also made a trade with FantasyIndex to get back into this round and acquired the 5th pick of round 6 along with the 5th pick of round 20 in exchange for the 12th pick of round 8 and the first pick of round 9. His selection of Josh Gordon disappointed me as I was really kind of hoping Gordon would fall another round or two as he has great dynasty upside.

hartoypodrido... The UK is also a "democratic government" that used an "odious" man (Augusto Pinochet) in its war against Argentina, and later, thanks to pressure from Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Pinochet was released under "humanitarian" grounds instead of being sent to Spain to trial for crimes against humanity. Later still, the same UK government allowed the mastermind of the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 to fly back to Libya, again on humanitarian grounds, and in exchange, BP got some nice and juicy fat oil contracts as a reward. Chile's Navy got a couple of second hand British made warships, and the UK once again triumphs over all evil... as long as it does not go against their colonial or financial interests.
I hate to agree with the Kirchners and other "Bolivarian" scum, but this time they are right (for the wrong reasons, of course).
Jaime Guzmán was the main ideologue of the Pinochet dictatorship, and the brains behind the authoritarian constitution forced on its successors. As such, Mr. Guzmán was an accessory to the kidnapping, torture and murder of many people. But in 1991 he was immune to any legal challenge, protected by his own laws, a farcically complicit judiciary, and periodic coup threats by Mr. Pinochet (who remained as head of the Army for several years).
Sadly, actions such as Mr. Apablaza's were, until very recently, the only way to bring people such as Mr. Guzmán to justice. The closest parallel may be the extremist clerics behind Al-Qaeda's terrorist acts. These clerics, like Mr. Guzmán, may never have organised or participated in a terrorist act themselves. They are just the cheerleaders of Islamofascism. But the U.S. has rightly put a price on the heads of several of them, without going through the Pakistani/Yemeni/etc. judiciaries.
The govermen is from the left and ... the killer is from the left ... leftist killers in latin america must be celebrating now.
Yeah but just remember: Pinochet was a far better ruler than any of the Argentininan governments in the period 1930-2010
It's really sad to see how a democratic goverment provides shelter to a terrorist. Not new for the K's, but sad nonetheless.
There are two versions of this article:
and this
Most of the comments are on the second version, but The Economist links to the first, with only 4 comments.
I was in Buenos Aires and entre Rios in August for two weeks. My previous visit was on 2008, and I felt sad to hear most people complain about the Ks but at the same time say that there are no other viable options.
It reminded me in the 90s when I was living in Montevideo, which is just on the opposite shore of the river, and people used to say the same about Menen: 'he is a joke but I have no other one to vote for'.
I believe I will never get the Argentinian people, they have a big country, still largely unpopulated, mild weather, reasonable amounts of natural resources, not major racial/religious/language conflicts, a rather educated people, a not too low income per capita... still they just cannot get their shit together. Sorry for my language but is just frustrasting.
PS: by the way King Africa, I am sick and tired of you blaming the UK for everything bad that happens in Argentina. Is time to grow up man and do more work and less talk.
What's clear from this ordeal is that Argentina has become a Nirvana for criminals, correction, leftist criminals. Those in this group can be sure to find safe harbor in Cristina's government. Pathetic.
There's no news that the Kirchners have double standards when it comes to human rights. It's interesting to read the comments contesting whether Chile or UK(?) are democratic enough, but somehow that seems a deflective tactic and miss the point. I think the main point here is that the Kirchner's selective use of their support to human rights creates yet another farcical view of a government that is running out of steam. Hopefully there is hope to have a better option for Argentina to finally get the government their people deserve, one that focuses on improving the country political system, making it fairer, decreasing poverty, improving employment, security, education and infrastructure. A government that only focuses on grandiose public statements but does little for their people's welfare is a waste of time.
to KingAfrica: two wrongs don't make a right. Pinochet should have died in prison, and this terrorist should have benn his cellmate.
nada se pierde todo se deforma!
nothing is lost everything is distorted!
how about the human rights of the ones we are left living
we pay high taxes profit for the ruling mobsters
the police does not protect you money for security guards
you learn nothing at school money for private schools and the medieval child molesting church
go to the public hospital if you are lucky you survive otherwise die trying
ba capital of the latin american context!
great paradox the "elite" reeks the middle class is talented frustrated and powerless!
el reino del revés! the realm of the upsidedown!
every human life has the same value and if you are that arrogant to murder someone who does not share a detached point of view why should you be accorded fair treatment?
when people become vermin and disregard humanity and affection is it tolerable that they make a claim later on!
Jonathan Swift wrote it more than two hundred years ago!
If you cannot double food production! What is the purpose of your speech...
The double standards of this royal couple are truly unbelievable. They have made Human Rights the biggest flag of their dictatorship, however, nothing further from the truth. The ONLY truth in the Apablaza affair is a very sad and cynical one. Paula Chahin is the Nations Media Secretary and works in Casa Rosada. She is part of this government and actually holds an office very close to the President. Besides, they are close friends, so it is pretty clear that the Human Rights speech is a political strategy that represents millions of pesos and has nothing to do with the truth.

$6.4bil investment programme at LAX adds to attractiveness for Gulf carriers
A $6.4 billion program of investment in new facilities, including a new terminal opening in 2012, adds to Los Angeles International Airport's (LAX) increasing attraction as a destination for international airlines, including the fast-growing Gulf carriers, said Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) officials at a media briefing in Dubai today.
The airport is already experiencing significant growth, adding nearly 150 international weekly flights during the last three years, including Emirates' daily nonstop service from Dubai, which goes to twice-daily from 31 October. International passenger traffic at LAX is up almost 760,000 passengers during the last 12 months.
LAWA officials said the airport offered many benefits to Gulf carriers, including access to one of America's strongest State economies, one of the world's largest inbound tourism markets and a large Arab-American population.
Gina Marie Lindsey, Executive Director, Los Angeles World Airports, said: "We believe these are compelling reasons to increase the number of flights from the Gulf. The success of Emirates' flights so far shows the strength of this market and we look forward to welcoming more carriers from this region in the future.
"Our investment in the new Bradley West Terminal, which opens in 2012, adds to those attractions. Sixteen new gates, nine of which are 'new generation' able to handle the new Airbus A380, will boost our capacity, with fantastic facilities for arriving and departing passengers."
LAWA, the Los Angeles City department that owns and operates LAX and two other Southern California airports, hosted the media briefing during a delegation visit to the Gulf, during which it is meeting with representatives of the region's major airlines.
"We continuously engage in dialogue with current and potential airline partners from around the world, updating them on developments at our airports. The Gulf is obviously one of the most exciting regions in aviation today, with some of the fastest-growing airlines in the world," said Ms Lindsey.
"It is also fantastic to see the investment plans of the airports here and to have the chance to compare notes with the region's operators."
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the seventh busiest airport in the world, offering more than 565 daily flights to 81 destinations in the U.S. and over 1,000 weekly nonstop flights to 66 international destinations on over 75 carriers. LAX is part of a system of three Southern California airports – along with LA/Ontario International and Van Nuys general aviation – that are owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), a department of the City of Los Angeles.
Since 2007, LAX has seen more new international flights than any other U.S. airport, except for New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Emirates introduced nonstop service between Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and LAX in November 2008, with three weekly flights utilizing 266-seat Boeing 777-LR (long range) aircraft. Within seven months, Emirates began daily departures and, 24 months later, the airline announced its intention to offer twice daily service starting Oct. 31.
During the past three years, 12 airlines, including four carriers that had not served LAX before (Airberlin, Emirates, Volaris and V Australia) began nonstop service to overseas destinations. In addition to Emirates, this list included Air New Zealand, Airberlin, Alitalia, Copa Airlines, Delta Airlines, Korean Airlines, Volaris Airlines, United Airlines, V Australia,, Virgin America and West Jet.
Five additional airlines (including Turkish Airlines that has not served LAX before) announced they will begin daily services from Los Angeles to new markets during the next few months or will increase service on existing route, including All Nippon Airways, Delta Airlines, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Iberia.
Possible new international service includes American Airlines, which has applied to the U.S. Department of Transportation to operate daily nonstop flights to Shanghai, China, beginning April 5, 2011.
Excluding the flights to Shanghai, these airlines represent an increase of 148 weekly international flights at LAX since 2007, of which 82 weekly flights serve transoceanic routes using wide-body aircraft.
According to a 2007 study by the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation -- an organization responsible for attracting, retaining and increasing businesses and jobs in Los Angeles County -- one daily, transoceanic wide-body flight to/from LAX generates an estimated $623 million in economic output annually, and sustains 3,120 direct and indirect jobs in Southern California with annual wages of $156 million. According to officials, the international air service introduced during the past three years now generates $10.7 billion annually in economic benefits to the Southern California region.

A press release from the United States Postal Service
Tags: Vintage stamps, stamps, seed packets, art, USPS
A press release from the United States Post Office.
The beauty of American garden flowers is captured on 10 colorful new stamps featuring intricate illustrations from vintage seed packets. Art director Antonio Alcalá used photographs of actual seed packets, cropping them to highlight the beautiful floral detail. Above each illustration is the name of the flower in bold capital letters.
Created using chromolithography — a process that replaced hand-tinted lithographs and allowed for inexpensive multi-color prints — the illustrations originally graced the fronts of flower seed packets printed between 1910 and 1920. Whether hand-tinted lithographs, vintage chromolithographs, or modern photographs, seed packet art presents a picture of floral perfection.
Each of the 10 stamps depicts blossoms of one variety of flower — a trio of cosmos in delicate white, pink, and red; stalks of yellow, pink and coral digitalis; bright yellow primrose flowers with orange centers; a vibrant orange calendula; white, pink and blue aster blooms; two shades of pinks (dianthus), one pale, one dark; linum blossoms in a rich red; white drifts of alyssum; clusters of phlox in red, pink and purple; and pale pink, subtle yellow, and muted orange-red zinnia flowers.

I've read this book several times. I got this book for my daughter who has a teen and wants to handle situations in a loving and fair way. She just called me today and was reading to me from the book and telling me how much it had helped in several situations. It's an easy read. And it makes parenting fun. Enjoy!

Date: 1823-12-25
Arose this morning in high spirits and caught Johnson and John in the first salutation as I roared it out from one room to the other, before I was up. After breakfast I walked with Madame and Abby to see Aunt Smith. She looks very well and appears as comfortably settled as could be expected. She as usual in the highest
word omitted
although "bless me she had suffered so severe an attack from the rheumatism." After some hesitation, she accepted an invitation to our Christmas dinner and upon that we returned. He
came in latterly—he does not look well. We were not long before the proper time to dress for dinner which being done, we assembled in the parlour to receive the guests. The company consisted of a Mr. Blunt of New York, Mr. Carter the editor of a New York paper, Mr. Cook, Member from Illinois, Mr. Dwight from Massachusetts, Edwards, Senator from Connecticut, Mr. Fuller of Massachusetts, Dr. Huntt, Mr. Newton from Virginia, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan
with two young sons, and Uncle and Aunt Smith. Some of these I knew long since, others were new and unexpected. Mr. Sullivan by chance had the left corner at the bottom of the dinner table which was the seat next my usual one, and amused me very much indeed by his discursive powers. He would talk, heaven how he would talk, of soup, of bread, of College, of every thing in short, and although I thought him something of an amusing man, I could not help assenting to the common proverb that you can do more business with a taciturn character. Some sharp cuts passed between Dwight, Fuller and Sullivan and I saw plainly that the latter was no favourite. Mr. Newton was very agreably excited and spouted to some purpose on the subject of the Greeks. He appears to be a pleasant man. Blunt exhibited himself as I shall have occasion to mention hereafter, for he was a man thrown very much into our society during my stay. After some lively conversation in the latter part of the evening, the company retired and then we set down to a game of Whist, so that it was twelve o'clock before we separated. Of all persons whom I have ever seen, to
prepossess against,
I think Mrs. Sullivan the most likely to have that effect. But I had not much opportunity to judge this evening. The subject of Greece appears to have created some conversation as Mr. Webster is about to come out in his most powerful manner, and to be supported by Mr. Clay. Their side of the question is as I hear to be warmly attacked by men equally powerful.
Mr. Sullivan in the course of his conversation after deciding this question, carried through a most tremendously severe philippic upon Harvard College which I should have thought more of, had it come from a weightier man.

. Uncle William Steuben Smith.
. Most of the guests were Congressmen: Daniel Pope Cook (1794–1827), of Illinois; Henry Williams Dwight (1788–1845), of Massachusetts; Henry Waggaman Edwards (1779–1847), of Connecticut; Thomas Newton Jr. (1768–1847), of Virginia; and Timothy Fuller (1778–1835), of Massachusetts (
Biog. Dir. Cong.
). Joseph Blunt was a rising New York City politician who was organizing support to make JQA President (
, 2:23), and Nathaniel H. Carter was editor of the
New York Statesman
(Frank Luther Mott,
American Journalism,
N.Y., 1941, p. 198). Dr. Henry Huntt was the Adams family physician (
, 2:119). George Sullivan (1783–1866), another Adams supporter, was in Washington to lobby for payment of Massachusetts claims stemming from the War of 1812; his father was the late governor James Sullivan of Massachusetts; his wife was the former Sarah Bowdoin Winthrop of Boston (same, 2:35, 56–57, 74;
As I Remember
, p. 282;
Winthrop Family
, p. 217–218).
. Sympathetic toward the Greek struggles for independence against their Turkish overlords, Daniel Webster on 8 December had moved the sending of an American commissioner to Greece, and his oration in support of his proposal was announced long before it was actually delivered, on 19 January 1824 (
, 1:312). Speaker Henry Clay also supported the proposal "in a ringing speech" (
Van Deusen,
, p. 161). On the "Greek Fever" which swept America at this time see Stephen A. Larrabee,

On February 12, 2013, President Barack Obama signed an ExecutiveOrder on cybersecurity designed to defend the nation's critical infrastructure. By passing Congress — which could not agree on a legislative proposal — the President justified his unilateral action to confront the "growing threat from cyber attacks."
"We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail," he said. "We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems."

How to Do Yom Kippur Without Fasting
I am not going to fast on Yom Kippur.
There, I've said it publicly and that means I have to do it.
I want to fast, however I haven't been allowed to fast since 1998 when I was hospitalized for anorexia nervosa. That year I remember eagerly awaiting Yom Kippur, because I knew I would be able to not eat anything for 24 hours and for once no one would give me a hard time about it. However, a few days before Yom Kippur, my friends helped me realize I had a problem with food, and once I entered treatment my doctors wouldn't let me follow through on my plans to fast.

Pickled Horseradish Sauce Recipe and Directions
Step 1 - Selecting the horseradish
The most important step! You need horseradish that are FRESH and crisp. Limp, old horseradish will make nasty tasting canned horseradish. Guests will probably throw them at you.. Select firm, crisp horseradish. Remove and discard any soft, diseased, spotted and chewed up horseradish.
How much horseradish and where to get it
You can grow your own, pick your own, or buy them at the grocery store. About 3 or 4 plants with of 1-inch diameter roots makes about 4 four-ounce jars - similar to the ones in the grocery store.
Step 2 - Wash the horseradish
I'm sure you can figure out how to scrub the horseradish in plain cold or lukewarm water using your hands or a vegetable brush. Wash horseradish roots thoroughly to remove as much dirt as feasible.
Combine ingredients and fill into sterile jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal jars tightly and store in a refrigerator.
Step 3 - Trim the ends and cut into smaller pieces
Cut the small roots off and with a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife, peel off brown outer skin.
Step 4 -Grate the horseradish!
I prefer to use a blender, pouring the vinegar or lemon juice in to help liquefy the roots and keep the blender moving it around. But the peeled roots may also be grated in a food processor or cut into small cubes and put through a food grinder. Grating horseradish releases the enzymes that cause the hot flavor. And the finer the grind, the hotter the heat!
Step 5 - Mix in remaining vinegar, salt and ascorbic acid.
I prefer not to use any salt, and for ascorbic acid, I use "Fruit Fresh". Just mix them up (again I do this in the blender). Note that adding the vinegar stops the heat from developing, so if you like very hot horseradish, let the grated horseradish sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before adding the vinegar!
Step 6 - Store the jars in the refrigerator
Just put the lids on and put them in a colder part of your fridge!
Try to use them within 2 months!
You're done!

Villa Semadhi: paradise found!
We stayed for two weeks in Villa Semadhi and we enjoyed every single moment: the house is beautifully designed and furnished with a great eye and sense for detail. Beside that, it's very comfortable with its large rooms and bathrooms. For example: we enjoyed very much our comfortable outdoor, walled bathroom with an amazing tree and beautiful big plants.
During day- and evening time the garden is the place to be: for every moment of the day you can find several comfortable places to read, meditate or just relax in the shadow of flowering trees, such as the amazing 'frangipani' (Plumeria). Furthermore there's a lovely breakfast/lunch/dinner pavilion in the garden, surrounded by a pond full of fairy tale waterlilies and fishes. We just sat down, had a nice Balinese Bintang beer and waited for the wonderful Balinese 'cuisine' to surprise us! We were absolutely spoiled by the very friendly staff, not only with delicious meals, but also with a bicycle whenever desired and other small attentions.
I should not forget to mention the infinity pool, which is very well placed within this tropical paradise garden: we swam with a lovely view on the ocean at one side and the beautiful house on the other!
As for the surroundings of the villa, they are also worth a close look: we found some interesting temples and even attended a service in one of them. Furthermore there are several beautiful resorts at about 10 min. cycling. We were very welcome to walk around and take a look and pictures and to have a nice lunch or dinner at the beach. Every resort has its own character, so we visited them all! We also found some nice little giftshops and small 'warungs' (little restaurants). At last we made a very special trip to Menjangan Island by boat, where we went snorkling and saw the most amazing fishes and other creatures.
Last but not least we were truly touched by the unbelievable friendliness of the Balinese people: everybody smiles, says 'hello' or even asks where you're from and if you like Bali. Never before we met such friendly and open people!
No surprise: we truly and very enthusiastically recommend this villa and give it five stars!
Marvellous holiday
We spent our vacation this year at villa Betèn Bukit. It's a wonderful and peaceful place. The hospitality was excellent and the staff made some scrumptious meals for us. Furthermore, the view is breathtaking and the surroundings imposing. We will definitely come back next year!

I am Robert Hondo, new to this forum. I was planning for mortgage loan. I was in search of a company that would be the best and provide me mortgage loans at a low rates. I was lucky to know about this company after a lot of research on net. www.nevadamortgagedepo.com helped me a lot to bring my dream come true. They not only help people to get mortgage loans at low rate, but also offer loans for home improvement, loans for people with bad credit and refinancing loans, Only thing we need to do is let them know about our requirements through simple online mortgage quotes. I would like to suggest to all those who are looking out for any of this, to get in touch with these people who would provide you with all the support for your dream to come true. These are the people http://www.nevadamortgagedepo.com/ can help you |

White society, sigh.
Why do we put up with this sort of racket? Grab your torches and pitchforks and drive all the lawyers out.
If anybody has the nerve to demand payment for "happy birthday", there is no reasoning with them, just keep slamming their head against the table until they shut up.
The US COngressed wanted to encourage the Hills sisters in their musical pursuits for children and they were right to do so. It would be a shame at this late date to withdraw that support. As a fan of 'Happy Birthday' I await further songs for children by the Hills sisters with much anticipation.
Copyrights emerged out of grants of monopoly. They are in that fashion like all rent-seeking methods for which companies lobby. Innovation is their secondary purpose. Rewarding artists is their third. The U.S Congress if it wanted to reward the Hill sister's could have done so in a variety of ways that didn't lead to a cultural artifact becoming the modern day equivalent of a highwayman who steps out of the bushes to steal your wallet.
"The evidence in Ms Nelson's birthday suit seems to suggest that the rights to the music expired either 70 or 95 years ago, while the words to 'Happy Birthday to You' never belonged to the remarkable Hill sisters to begin with."
In the meantime, I own the rights to breathing, blogging, and going to the bathroom.
Pay up, G.F. :)
It's been said a thousand times (I believe by this newspaper as well, though I can't quite remember) but the constant extension of copyright terms is ridiculous and, while it does quite a lot to protect the profits of companies, it does nothing to encourage inovation, nor is it in the public interest. And I find the moral argument that the arranger of a set of words gains ownership over that arrangement of words for several hundred years less than compelling, when you really begin to examine it . . .
Any politician who so much as mentioned reforming copyright law would win quite a lot of respect from me.
Even if a song is in public domain, you have to be careful not to use a specific arrangement that might still be under copyright. It's a minefield!
There is also lots of activity around the Mickey Mouse and Gershwin estates.
Luckily, the majority of cases are not this complicated or protracted.
Thank heavens much from the past was gifted to successive generations for free; otherwise we would have been in very real trouble. Sunlight and fresh-air would have attracted royalty and we would be all the worse. The knaves who now govern the corporate world stop at nothing.
yeah, expropriated African labor and culture
I am sure there is a predatory lawyer trolling for a slice of every birthday cake in the world.
He did not write the song.
But he will get every cent of any royalties of any birthday party he can sue,
in perpetuity.
When lawyers hold more patents than scientists or artists,
then innovation is not just dead but regressing back to the Dark Ages.

Happy birthday little girl! You have just been served...by a lawyer.
See you in court.
I'm not sure if it is a big problem that lawyers hold more patents than artists. Consider the following scenarios:
Artist needs a lot of money right now. Solution: Sell the rights to someone else (perhaps a lawyer)
Artist does not have the energy, skill, or financial means to fight for his patent rights. Solution: Sell the rights to someone else (perhaps a lawyer).
The Lawyer is shrewd enough to pay pennies for what may be multimillion dollar payments.
For the lawyer it is winning a lottery, not intellectual rights.
Does that help the creativity process?
Imagine if lawyers controlled the internet media.
Listening to songs played, we would only have access to the latest hits of the 90's--the 1890's.
Only songs that have expired copyright.
Songs about butter churning, railroads, and horse buggies.
This is a nice scenario. But those below are not:
- John Fogerty was sued for plagiarizing himself.
- Neil Young was sued for not playing as himself.
Any quaint tangles around, "Why was he born so beautiful?," or "For he's a jolly good fellow"?

text: (1831-1846) Born Belluno, Italy, 1765; died Rome, Italy. He entered the Camaldolese Order and later was sent to Rome, where he wrote a treatise on the infallibility and temporal sovereignty of the papacy. As cardinal, and prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, he arranged concordats between William of Holland and the Belgian Catholics, and the Ottoman Empire and the Armenian Catholics. As soon as he was consecrated a revolution, which was subdued only with the aid of Austria, broke out in the Papal States. At the suggestion of the five great powers, Gregory introduced important judicial and administrative reforms in his domain, but he believed in the older autocratic ideas and his subjects rebelled again before his death. He censured De Lamennais and his fellow-editors of "L'Avenir" in their dispute with the French episcopate. In Germany he condemned Hermesianism; in Portugal, Spain, Poland, and France, he combated anti-clerical legislation; and attacked two Protestant societies for promoting anti-clerical free thought in Italy. He founded the Egyptian and Etruscan museums in the Vatican, the Christian Museum in the Lateran; tunneled Monte Catillo to avert the floods of the River Anio; established steamboats at Ostia, and a bureau of statistics at Rome; introduced a decimal currency; sent missionaries to China, North America, India, Abyssinia, and Polynesia; and erected numerous hospitals, orphanages, and public baths.New Catholic Dictionary

Report: Arizona DPS targeting distracted drivers
This is the story that YOU wanted to hear us talk about! It received 69 percent of the vote in our Radioactive poll!
You may want to pay a little more attention to the road this week. The Arizona Department of Public Safety is reportedly targeting distracted drivers.
According to Fox 10, officers will focus on reducing all sorts of distracted driving from Thursday to Tuesday.
DPS defines distracted driving as "Any activity that diverts a driver's attention from the primary task of driving".
Officers will be looking for people on cell phones, eating or doing anything else other than driving.
Officers say many traffic violations like speeding, unsafe lane changes, and failure to stop are often the result of distracted driving.
Keep your eyes on the road, Arizona. Not on your phone.

Photos copyright 1991 Columbia Picture Corporation |
Stories are made of so many bits and pieces from a person's consciousness, some of them conscious and some of them so unconscious that their influence leeches subtly and powerfully through your mind. Upon the regrettable passing of the comic actor Robin Williams, I find myself reflecting on the movie he starred in which most impacted my life, The Fisher King, and discovering links between Terry Gilliam's masterpiece and my own first novel The Shadow of the Bear. It might make an interesting study to compare the film with my book, because I'm sure the debt is evident in many ways that even I am not aware of.
(Side note to parents: this film contains strong language, crass language, adult situations, adult humor, and distressing scenes of violence. It is a good representative of what I would call a film for adults (as opposed to that hated euphenism "adult film," which really means a film for immature adults). The Fisher King is definitely not for children or young teens. But it is a good film for angst-filled young adults.)
The year was 1991. That year, I was a college student, a senior majoring in television production, and battling the most serious depression of my life. My survival tactic was to throw myself into my classwork, which as an upperclassman consisted of hours in the artificial light of the university's basement television studio, immersed in rearranging frames of video. I pressed out endless assignment papers, attended production meetings, and theatrical rehearsals, and did whatever else I could distract myself with, to hide the abyss gnawing at my psyche. The worst hour of the day was when the alarm clock went off, and I had to will myself to get out of the dorm bunkbed and face another empty day.
It wasn't surprising that my thoughts were bleak, subsumed in a morass of misery. Grunge was in, and it fit my mood. I was drawn to topics that dealt with despair, because I desperately needed a reason to keep on living. Into the midst of this, I went to see The Fisher King with my fellow TV majors, and was completely transfixed. So much so, that I went back to see it again the same week, significant for this broke college student.
The inciting incident in the story used two cross-currents in American culture. Howard Stern was making his fame as a shock jock, and American crime had entered that blurry period where mass murders by unhappy individuals had become a phenomenon but before Columbine took it to the level of psychopathic fame. What could be causing this senseless violence? Was American culture itself responsible, perhaps even the makers of that culture? The Fisher King tapped that raw nerve of guilt as Jack Lucas, a shock jock played by Jeff Bridges, makes a glib comment to a mentally-unstable regular caller, and the man goes on a shooting spree in a New York City restaurant.
A despairing Jack attempts to commit suicide under a NYC bridge by tying cement blocks to his feet. But in a dark Chestertonian twist, he discovers a sudden desire to live when two young thugs take him for a homeless person and decide to set him on fire. But before they can murder him, Jack is saved by another madman, a Quixotic homeless man named Parry (Robin Williams) and his band of crazy knights. Parry sees himself as a modern-day knight on a crusade to find the Holy Grail, which he believes is hidden in the hi-rise apartment of a New York millionaire. "The Fisher King" of the title recalls a medieval legend bound up with the knights of King Arthur and the Holy Grail they sought.
According to IMDB,
Beneath the grit and William's characteristic potty-mouthed humor, I remember the movie as a series of haunting vignettes. The famous scene in Grand Central Station where the bustling crowd of commuters transforms into a ballroom of waltzing couples, as Parry's lonesome love, Lydia walks home from work. Jeff Bridges scaling the skyscraper in homemade armor. The chorus of madmen in the asylum celebrating Jack's triumphant quest.
And I love the first date scene, where Parry walks Lydia home, and she expresses her fears to him: that his infatuation is just leading to a one-night stand. Parry, clad in a white suit reminiscent of a white knight's, responds to her with a pledge of steadfast purity that is remarkable in William's career. Terry Gilliam is best known for his cynical Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but for a character in his film to give such a defense of chaste love is remarkable, and to me, unforgettable.
In conquering depression, victory is won not by a few large victories, but through many small ones. Small acts of getting out of bed, choosing to smile instead of to zone, starting a chat with a stranger in need instead of sitting alone. Jack's road out of depression back to sanity is also filled with many little choices: steps forward and steps back. But since this is Hollywood, we do get to see a few of the grand moments caught on film too.
So during my own dark night of the soul, The Fisher King came like a spark of hope that even in a grim, profane, and savagely violent world, medieval-style quests and even triumps were still possible. Love and sanity are precious things, frightfully assailed on all sides, but able to conquer. We need miracles, even the miracle of a good story. Two years later, I was living in New York, putting the finishing touches on the manuscript that would be my first published book, and about to meet the man who would become the love of my life, my own knight in fading blue denim.
Rest in peace, Robin Williams, wounded knight. I pray you find your Holy Grail.

Yes...I admit it...gnomes always wigged me out as in "creepy old man." With that said...I feel a bit redneck when I glance in the yard and see Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty. When it's calling for hail along with a bad storm...I gather this grouping up and put them in a sheltered area. Last time...I left them there for a bit. Until my husband asked about them. He thinks it's cute...my verdict is still out. As to if I love him...or not. He's sort of cute...but, I feel so redneck having him under the tree though. Even if he's sort of cute...in his own way. That said...I actually found a cute garden gnome...but refused to buy him...for fear I would have gnomes gathering all over my yard! And I have frogs as a theme for the yard. |

I love garden gnomes and I love duck dynasty I would get all of them. I haven't seen them. I have a few gnomes around my yard. One is driving a John deere tractor that is pulling a little wagon which is actually a planter for a little plant. My husband spotted it at the tractor supply store and bought it, he loves his John deere lawn tractor. |

That sounds cute...yes, I had a big issue as a child with them that carried into adulthood. Until I got Uncle Si. They were on sale at Rite Aid of all places. Each gnome looked alike basically other than the way they were painted. Which was disappointing. Had they been doing something else we may have gotten them all. So I promised my son...no more gnomes...but, I have found a few cute ones that I had to really kick myself into not purchasing. The tractor one sounds cute. Uncle Si...is more hillby-ish...than creepy. Lol my biggest fear...people start buying me gnomes...and some still wig me out. |

I wish I could get over my ...caution about gnomes. It seems like they would have a place out in the yard. I just don't want to come home from work late at night and encounter their shadows! Karen |
- Posted by cadillactaste zone 5 Ohio (My Page) on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 9:35
Karen...maybe the hidden gnome like I have in my grouping? Along with a grouping of just an odd array of mushroom statuary? Contemplating making one of these mushrooms...to go with this...just not sure if it would be to much. |
I won't post a picture of my zombie gnome.....it would scare the beejeesus out of you! I don't keep him outside, because I know someone would steal him. |
- Posted by Enterotoxigenic00 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 18:33
The mushrooms are great. My daughters have always collected mushrooms. Maybe I should go through their collections that are stored out on our barn. The girls haven't lived at home in 10 years. Of course they'll want them as soon as I put them out in the yard ! I'm contemplating gnomes....lol....thanks. Karen |

Uncle Si is cute, but I love your mushrooms! I've seen the zombie gnomes, they are rather amazing. I'm open to a gnome, but I haven't seen the right one yet. Kathy |

You...have...mushrooms...out...in...the...barn...GO GET THEM! Display them and then share a photo with us please <3. Possession is 9/10th's of the law isn't that the saying... Looks like I may have to add a mushroom toad house to the mix...look closely at the tipped over mushroom. Lol |
- Posted by ravencajun 8 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 26, 14 at 2:34
That toad must love your mushrooms! He is pretty well camouflaged. |

All, If anyone is interested in Dr. Sam Cotner's Texas Vegetable book guide, below is the link to order it. http://www.texasgardener.com/Store/Products/viewproduct.aspx?id=111 I put in onions without the castor oil and already have tunnel remnants and a disappeared onion. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nate, Thanks for the link. I've put it in a clickable link below. This book is my gardening bible and has been for a very long time. I find it just as useful now as when it first was published in the 1980s. I also have Greg Grant's book on fruit and vegetable gardening in Texas and Dr. Adam's book on growing tomatoes in Texas and like both of them just about as much as Dr. Cotner's book. However, in my mind, Dr. Cotner still is the king, and I think he always will be. His book was the first regionally-oriented book on vegetable gardening that I read and it taught me how to be a better gardener in the soils and climate we have here. Sorry about the poor disappeared onion. Now hurry up and get that ground sprayed with a gopher/mole repellent so those little rodents will go away and leave your onions alone. I am making a new garden spot in an area with very sandy soil and expect to have to fight a pitched battle against the moles, voles and gophers. Our cats pretty much control them around the house and the main garden, but this area is a lot further away and the cats do not frequent this area, or at least not until we started breaking up the ground for a garden. Apparently the little rodents have been out here in this former cow pasture doing as they please for a long time and I am finding their tunnels everywhere as I dig so I expect the castor beans, the cats and I will have to fight them tooth and nail, probably forever. Dawn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dr. Cotner's Vegetable Book
OkieDawn, Many thanks for making that a hyperlink. I hope my book purchase comes in this week. I think i got my onions in the ground right on time! |
I won't be planting my onions for another 5 to 7 days. When I plant before mid-February they tend to get slammed by snow, sleet, ice or cold weather. I don't know that our house will get any of the snow forecasted to fall this week, but I'll wait until that storm system has come and gone before I plant the onions. I'm having them shipped by Dixondale and the shipping date is this week. Last year I got them 2 weeks earlier but it was so wet I had a hard time getting them into the ground. This year, it definitely is not too wet! I think you'll really enjoy Dr. Cotner's book. I love how he breaks everything down in such a clear and direct manner, and I love the troubleshooting section at the end of each chapter. The book in in its third decade and has stood the test of time, and I think that's remarkable. In a lot of ways, Dr. Cotner was so far ahead of his time compared to other garden writers I was reading at the time. There he was, in the 1980s writing about the use of floating row cover fabric, which I'd never even heard of until he mentioned it. Now it is commonly used and can be found at lots of nurseries, garden centers and sometimes at big box stores like Wal-Mart. That's pretty remarkable. Dr. Cotner was the head of horticulture at Texas A&M (but we Okies cannot hold that against him) and passed away just a couple of years ago after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was a true legend in Texas and taught so many gardeners how to do things the best way and why it was important to do them that way. I just love that his book is back in print. I hate recommending out-of-print books to folks, and this is the second or third time it's been brought back into print because of popular demand. I think that's pretty special. |

Using the personal response system (PRS) in large lecture classes has been suggested as one way to encourage active involvement of students in this challenging pedagogical environment.
Positive correlations between PRS use and course grades have been shown, but few have attempted to determine what components of PRS use are most effective.
Some factors that may contribute to the positive correlation include increased time in which students are actively applying concepts in class, increased exposure to the type of questions asked by the instructor, and peer discussion opportunities that often accompany PRS use. This study explores the impact of these factors.
In collaboration with an experienced PRS instructor, we studied classroom scenarios in which students respond to a PRS question, discuss the question with a peer, and vote again. The study tracked several characteristics of the peer team (gender, comfort level in discussing with peer, familiarity with peer, comfort level with material), and will determine the effectiveness of these discussions by:
- Correlating group characteristics with the number of correct PRS responses
- Listening to recorded discussion of five groups.
