Best Place To Walk Your Dog Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach 1999 - InnoPet Park
We give this place four paws up! The 2.5 acres of fenced-in park is built exclusively with mutts (or purebreds) in mind. It offers obstacle courses, wading pools, water fountains for dogs, and cleanup bags for, well, you know. Canines romp on the main grassy area while their owners sit and watch the frolic from the shade. For dogs more agile of body and mind, there is a complete obstacle course with cement tubes to run through, jumps, ramps, and weave poles. The pooch park is the idea of a local veterinarian who saw the need for dogs to get off those doggone leashes and run. Although relatively quiet during the week, the park can get crowded on weekends, so watch out for the big dogs. Woof.

Two fighter jets are detected by Japan off of Hokkaido, reports say, adding new tension to territorial dispute over islands.
Tokyo claimed on Thursday that Russian fighter jets had violated Japanese air space near the northern island of Hokkaido, adding more tension to a long-simmering conflict between the two countries over an island group.
The BBC reports that Japan quickly scrambled its own aircraft after detecting the Russian planes, while Russia denies the incursion.
Read more from GlobalPost: Japan says China missile radar targeted its ship
Japan had lodged a protest, according to its Foreign Ministry, Reuters reports, and noted that the incursion was the first such incident in 5 years.
Japan and Russia have been at odds over a disputed island group off Hokkaido known to the Japanese as the Northern Territories, and to the Russians as the Southern Kuriles, since the end of World War II. It's prevented the two countries from formally delcaring peace.
The timing of the latest incursion was unfortunate, Reuters notes: Thursday is traditionally a day when the Japanese protest for the return of the islands to Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin agreed in December to restart talks on a peace treaty between the two nations, which has been hampered by the island controversy since WWII, says the BBC.
China and Japan have also been noisily scuffling over another group of disputed islands, known as the Diaoyus to the Chinese, and the Senkakus to the Japanese.
Japanese officials claimed this week that a Chinese warship pointed its radar at Japanese military targets, wrote the Sydney Morning Herald.

HI SKIERS! Here is our X/C Ski program for 1997-98. We have 28 trips listed and we'll add more if the snow lasts. We have 5 meetings at the Mira Mesa Community Center: Nov 3, Dec 1, Jan 5, Feb 2 and May 4. Come and learn everything you need to know about skiing.
This season should be spectacular. It is predicted to be wetter than 82-83 which holds the all time record snow pack for the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Most "El Ninos" are too warm for San Diego County snow, but San Jacinto and San Gorgonio can be outstanding. Come ski with us, you won't be disappointed.
Beginners are welcome on most trips and lessons are provided. Feb 1st is a "Beginner-only" instructional trip. For those interested in becoming ski leaders, Jan 31st is a Ski Leader training outing. Feb 8th is a Telemark class for those who want to learn how to carve graceful turns.
Fifteen trips are local, one day "WSI" trips (Where the Snow Is). Your only costs are car pool (if you don't drive), ski rental (if you don't own them) and a $5 donation to the Sierra Club. Five trips are multi-day fundraisers to the finest ski areas in California.
Our Thanksgiving trip to Mammoth has now become a tradition. The snow pack is usually modest, but the trip is inexpensive and the mountains are wonderful any time of year. Join us for all or part of the holiday.
Our New Year's trip is to Bear Valley, CA. We relocated both last seasons' Yosemite trips to Bear Valley when the January floods closed the valley. Both trips were so successful and inexpensive.
We hope to have WSI trips (see WSI description, below each weekend until the snow is gone. For more info call Mike Fry, 6pm to 8pm, 566-3851. (How late can we ski? :-)

So I didn't see anything but complaining on the first page I thought it would be good to at least start a small post about how to play well on the new TT and to clear up some mistakes I see a lot of people still making even after there first few games. First lets start with how alters work, since this alone I have lost games over this misunderstanding and won games people people on the other team didn't get it. Alters start neutral as too gray boxes. They turn in blue circles when your team holds them and turn to red hexagons when your enemy holds them. If there is a X over either shape the alter can not be captured. You stand on the alter to capture it, everyone on the alter on the time of capture is given 80 gold. Once unlocked you can not re-lock your own alter (Blue circle) you can only fight over enemy alters(red hexagons) and capture them. The bonus for holding one alter is extra gold for a last hit, if you hold both alters you get an extra damage boost. Other things to think about. The CD on revive is so short that someone can revive three or four times in the beginning of the match before the alters even unlock. This means that if you run in and ace you'll likely have to ace two or three times without going back to base before the alters unlock, I suggest you don't start the team fight until the 60 second timer is announced outside of maybe a few pokes. Everyone complains about teemo's ability to give map awareness being over powered, but a large amount of champions can get map awareness through skills, most of these champions are even better cut out then teemo who is a squishy waiting to be killed most the game. The summoner spell clairvoyance has great utility on this map and having one person take it can be a life saver as you can spot things on the map and the area affected is almost as large as an entire side of the jungle if case on the alter. The new lantern Item reveals invisible units such as teemo and teemo shrooms, shaco and jack-in-the-boxes making it a great item and a good reason to have someone clearing jungle and helping lanes. A jungler through not set in stone as part of the meta is a good idea, it gives a person who has sight of your side of the map constantly moving, that can protect the alter or warn that it needs to be protected also a good jungler can keep up on exp and gold close to what a solo lane might earn. I'll add more as I think of things, but its only through a list of things like this that we well form a good meta for the map. So do you guys have any good tips ? I'm pretty much a noob at this game. So don't take this as me giving you for information because I know better, but instead as me asking you for information while trading a few things I have noticed about the mode.
I guess after an hour I can bump with some questions, that I am not sure about. Smite is it need to jungle or not, though a jungler is something I suggest you clearly can't have one every game if your team won't support the Idea. I find that when I have been able to jungle that as long as your playing someone who is normally in the jungle, skarnar, udyr, WW, ect. that you don't really need it and I haven't really got to test the clear times. Stealing vilemaw seems a little impractical, but possible if team ever actually fight over it that is. How about Ashe? anyone have any luck with her yet? she can give vision, get extra gold on top of the alter bonus and can normally out run or juke a tank. Sure if you run in and get jumped on your dead, but that doesn't seem any different from a SR game for me trying to play her. It seems to me a good team set up might be a CC heavy champ (amumu for example.) A tanky dps that can deal great damage( Jax for example.) and a have AoE character (lux for example), since most teams stand very close together. Speaking of team standing close together how about tiamat ? I was having good luck with it every so often on TT building it when teams seemed to stand in a cluster all the time, mainly as a quick early game build with a bruiser EZ ( the Tia-Tri tank) Or if I wasn't using a uncommon build I'd through it in with trundle or malph.
tips! pick Teemo and 2 bruisers! WIN! if you lose with teemo quit the game. he is 100% op

Drop flash, get ghost. Get boots of swiftness. No, this is not a troll suggestion..mobility owns face on this map.
I think the biggest advice I can give is to not try and contest a point. It is *very* difficult to stop a capture after the enemy starts it. Most of the time you are going to lose the altar unless you can burst them down very quickly. The altars are not a primary objective. Like SR, farming is very important. A lot of the games Ive played, my enemies had half my cs and got dominated. I also see a lot of people not trying to kill towers, towers are VERY easy to kill and should be pushed in when possible. Creeps can kill towers easily while you gank/jungle. Vilemaw is not like baron, she hurts a lot, does aoe damage to your team, she hurts melee a lot. Its not worth doing vilemaw if the enemy is MIA, if they are all dead go for it only if you're healthy.
People who played TT: Hate new map People who didn't play TT: Love the new map Solution: Make two separate maps!

Have you tried to quit on your own and just couldn't manage it? Perhaps you became too cranky and anxious. Perhaps your family begged you to start smoking again! Or, maybe you managed to stay away from cigarettes for a few days only to return to smoking because you thought you were having withdrawals.
Dr. Keli is a Certified Smoking Cessation Specialist with the National Guild of Hypnotists and uses hypnotic smoking cessation techniques that shes learned in America, Sweden and England to assure you the best possible results. She has helped thousands of people, just like you, kick the cigarettes and tobacco to the curb forever!
Her stop smoking program has been proven to be very effective to help the motivated smoker quit smoking. She utilizes hypnotic techniques that will remove your desire and urge to smoke while helping you feel happy, calm and relaxed as a non-smoker. Smell good, look good, and feel good!
Hypnosis is not mind control and a person can not be made to do something they do not really want to do! Sometimes persons come in to hypnosis quit smoking and struggle a little bit. It has been proven that the reason for this is because that person wasnt really committed to becoming a non-smoker. Thats why it is so important to be motivated to be a non-smoker.
Many people say they want to quit smoking or tobacco, however, they dont REALLY want to. Its important that you are quitting this destructive behavior for yourself and not for anyone else. Some people come in to see Dr. Keli and say they want to quit smoking because they have COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or Emphysema or the doctor told them they had to quit for a surgery. They dont want to become non-smokers but the doctor told them they had to quit. Unfortunately, just because the doctor told you that you had to quit smoking does not mean you want to or are ready to release cigarettes/tobacco from your life.
Dr. Keli wants you to be successful with her stop smoking program so ask yourself: On a Scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the strongest) how motivated are you to becoming a non-smoker/non-dipper? If you rated yourself at a 9 or 10 then you ready to quit smoking with Dr. Keli!
If youre going to spend $2900 spend it on something that is going to enhance your wellbeing! Tobacco steals your health, your money, and sometimes even your self-esteem. Call today and become a non-smoker today!
Imagine your mind as a computer with storage, retrieval & and an operating system which you use to measure, evaluate and direct all that you do. Consider your conscious mind as your input device and the subconscious mind as the hard drive. You are going to feel and behave based on how your hard drive is programmed. Hypnotherapy effectively "updates" and re-programs your mind like a computer so that you can feel and behave the way your desire. Is Dr. Keli saying that your mind is like a computer? Yes!! Stanford & Harvard Universities have both done multiple studies and found hypnotherapy to be very effective in changing beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. Out of all the interventions for quitting smoking/tobacco, hypnosis has, by far, the highest success rate and Dr. Keli's success rate is higher than most!
Give yourself the gift of reality and stop fooling your mind! Yes, maybe you do know someone who smoked until they were 90 years old but that is the exception and not the norm!
The fact is that smoking cigarettes kills approximately 440,000 Americans each year - more than alcohol, cocaine, heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fires, and AIDS combined. The Center for Disease Control states that more than 12 million Americans have died prematurely from smoking cigarettes since 1964.
Cigarette smoking harms every organ in the body. It has been conclusively linked to leukemia, cataracts, and pneumonia, and accounts for about one-third of all cancer deaths. The overall rates of death from cancer are twice as high among smokers as nonsmokers. Heavy smokers increase their death rate by four times as compared to nonsmokers. Lung cancer is the most common of all cancers caused by smoking. Cigarette smoking has been linked to about 90 percent of all lung cancer cases, the number-one cancer killer of both men and women. Smoking is also associated with cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix, kidney, ureter, and bladder.
In addition to cancer, smoking causes lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and it has been found to exacerbate asthma symptoms in adults and children. More than 90 percent of all deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases are attributable to cigarette smoking. It has also been well documented that smoking substantially increases the risk of heart disease, including stroke, heart attack, vascular disease, and aneurysm. It is estimated that smoking accounts for approximately 21 percent of deaths from coronary heart disease each year.
Although there is only a small amount of nicotine in each cigarette it is a poison. Exposure to high doses of nicotine, such as those found in some insecticide sprays, can be extremely toxic and cause vomiting, tremors, convulsions, and death. In fact, one drop of pure nicotine can kill a person. Nicotine poisoning has been reported from accidental ingestion of insecticides by adults and ingestion of tobacco products by children and pets. Death usually results in a few minutes from respiratory failure caused by paralysis.
The following pictures are not pleasant to view but they are reality. One of Dr. Henault's goals is to get you to realize that smoking cigarettes is a matter of life and death.

"After 37 years of chain smoking I quit after 1 ½ hours and it was really easy!"
"I've been a "hard core" smoker for 37 years and had tried to quit on my own about 7 times. The last time I tried Chantix and that worked for about 2 days and then I started smoking even more! My friend had seen Keli about 1 year ago and had easily quit after one session. Even though my friend had told me about Keli a year ago, I was afraid to be hypnotized. I guess I had too many wrong ideas about what hypnosis was. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Keli for the first time. I felt instantly comfortable with her and she's really easy to talk to. Keli explained to me about hypnosis before we started and I felt really relaxed during my session. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I just felt totally relaxed — probably more relaxed than I can ever remember being. Hypnosis is not a "weird feeling" kind of experience at all. As a matter of fact, it was one of the most enjoyable things I' ve ever experienced in my life! Well, it's been about 8 days since my session with Keli and I have not smoked a cigarette since I saw her. I haven't even wanted to smoke a cigarette! One of my biggest concerns was weight gain and I've actually lost 2 lbs since our session. I'm also sleeping really great at night too. One of the things that impressed me the most was that I knew Keli offered a free follow-up session for her smokers. Right before I walked out the door she said to me "If I don't hear from you I'll assume you're doing awesome and if you're not doing awesome I want to hear about it!" What I really liked about that was that she really wanted me to be happy with the results — and I felt it. It wasn't like she didn't want me to come back for the free follow-up. I absolutely recommend Keli's hypnosis services. Even if you're afraid of hypnosis go see Keli anyway! She'll put you at ease in an instant."
Cindy R., Bastrop, TX
"I quit smoking AND lost weight with 1 session!"
"I went to the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center for 1 session to stop smoking. I'm amazed that after 42 years of smoking I quit in just 1 session. I had no withdrawals, no anxiety, and felt really good. I even started eating better and exercising more. As a matter of fact, I've lost 9 lbs. since I quit smoking at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. I couldn't be more pleased!"
Susan H., Austin, TX
"It's been 2 years since I stopped smoking at Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center."
"I remember that day very well. I sat outside the door smoking my last 3 cigarettes. I didn't really think that I was going to be able to quit since I'd tried about 15 times before. I was pleasantly suprised because I haven't smoked a cigarette since that session. I did quit after one session but I remember that I my mother passed away a few days after I quit and I was really uptight. Even though I didn't smoke I felt like I "deserved" to smoke because my mother had left me forever. So I called up Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center and went in for a free follow-up session. After that session....I didn't even think about smoking! I highly recommend Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center if you want to improve your life in any way. My sister has also been there for weight loss and is now about 55 lbs. lighter as a result of the weight loss program at Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center."
Gail B., Round Rock, TX
"I've been a non-smoker since April of 2007!"
"I'm not much of a writer but I would like to tell everybody who's reading this: Go to Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center!!!! Everybody there is really friendly. Plus, even though I tried Chantix, the patch, the gum, Wellbutrin, and quitting on my own about 15 times in my life without success, I only went to one very enjoyable hypnosis session with Keli and ever since then I have not wanted a cigarette. I didn't even want one with wine...and that's a big surprise. I didn't gain any weight; as a matter of fact I lost a few pounds! I had no nicotine withdrawals. If you're a smoker who wants to quit smoking...this is the place to go. I quit for good 9 months ago."
C.C., Elgin, TX
"My one year anniversary as a non-smoker!"
"I went to Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center to stop smoking last year right around this time. Even though I smoked for 34 years before I went to my session, from the moment I walked out of the office I didn't want a cigarette. It was really easy to quit and I didn't have any withdrawals and I wasn't even cranky. It was great! I also sleep much better since the session. I mentioned to the hypnotherapist that I had sleep problems so she helped me with that as well. I have a ton of energy now and I've also lost 9 lbs. That place is really professional. As a side note, I've sent 5 people I know to Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center and they have also stopped too. I told them about this website and that they could put a review so I'm pretty sure that they will be posting as well."
Elizabeth V., Bastrop, TX
"I quit smoking and it was easy."
"Just want to write a quick review to say how amazed I am that the hypnosis worked on me. I really didn't think it was going to work but it did. I've been smoking about 1 1/2 packs of cancer sticks a day for many years and I've tried to quit for so many years. I saw Kelli just once and I haven't wanted a cigarette since that time. I even had a huge party at my house on New Years Eve and even though my friends were all smoking and I was drinking (these used to trigger me to smoke) I had no desire for a cigarette at all. It's amazing. Thanks!"
Lee S., Leander, TX
"I didn't smoke on New Years Eve!"
"I've been struggling to quit smoking for years. I've tried Wellbutrin, Chantix, and the patch. None of them worked for more than a day. Keli helped my mother stop smoking a few months ago and I'm just as pleased with the results. I haven't had any withdrawals or cravings at all. I'm shocked at how easy it was! As a matter of fact, I went out for a huge New Years Eve bash and didn't even smoke at all that night even though I had been drinking too much wine. I didn't even want a cigarette even though a few of my friends were trying to talk me into it. If you've tried other ways to stop smoking and haven't been successful, then go to the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. I can only say positive things about the benefits of my hypnosis session! Happy New Year to everyone!"
Mandy M., Round Rock, TX
"I quit smoking and got rid of my fear of flying."
"I've been smoking for about 30 years and have tried to quit. My doctor gave me various medications that were supposed to help me stop smoking but none of them worked. I saw Keli for 1 stop smoking session a few weeks ago and I'm am truely amazed and grateful that I quit. Not only did I quit but it was really easy. I never thought that stopping smoking could be so easy. I really recommend that you come to the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center if you want to stop smoking. I also had a few sessions to help me get rid of my incredible fear of flying. I didn't even know that hypnosis could help me. When I saw Keli to stop smoking she told me that she could also help me get over my fear of flying. She was right. When I flew to Las Vegas last week I was really calm and relaxed! My husband was shocked at how calm I was. I had fear of flying at all. I actually enjoyed flying above with the clouds! Hmmm...what else can I improve in my life with hypnosis/hypnotherapy. Maybe I'll tackle my problem with food next."
Mike S., San Marcos, TX
"School teacher still doesn't smoke those nasty things!"
"I saw Keli in March (8 months ago) for 1 session and I have not wanted a cigarette since that time. I remember when I first opened my eyes after the session I wasn't sure if it worked. Keli told me that I would find out very soon that it had, it fact, worked. She was right! I am very amazed at how easy it was for me to stop smoking with Keli's help. My mother even passed away 3 months ago and I didn't even want a cigarette then. As a matter of fact, I didn't even think of a cigarette. I should probably mention that I did go to a UT group hypnosis seminar last year but it didn't work at all. I guess I needed a more personal approach. I am very pleased with the small investment I made for Keli's stop smoking program. I've saved a fortune in the long run! By the way, Keli has a beautiful voice."
Kathy C., Austin, TX
"Financial Planner / Marketing Exec Quit Smoking in One Session!!"
"For anyone considering stopping smoking this should be the only call you have to make. I've quit cold turkey before but the urge was always there, you know the triggers, coffee, boredom, or alcohol. Keli was able to help me quit smoking after one session without having any urges. In fact, I went out with friends directly after the session and celebrated my going away/happy hour because I got a new job at a high level firm and I didn't want to bring the bad habit with me. I'm proud to say that the new job is going great and I'm going on one month smoke free with no urges!!! No matter what is going on in your life Keli can help you quit smoking ASAP!! "
R.O., Austin, TX
"Stop Smoking Easily and Effortlessly in Just 1 Session"
"If you've been considering trying hypnosis to help you stop smoking.....don't wait another minute! Call Keli at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center today. I've been smoking for 40 years and was amazed to find my smoking habit vanish easily and effortlessly in just one session. She's amazing and she gets results!"
N.A. Round Rock, TX
"Best stop smoking hypnosis services around!"
"I'm really excited to report that I am now a non-smoker after only spending less than two hours in hypnosis at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. I was pretty unsure it was going to work because I had already been through a stop smoking hypnosis program in Austin and invested over $1100 and got no results. Kelly has an incredible voice that's very soothing and I was more relaxed than I've ever been in my life. I no longer have the need to smoke when I drink and I'm very happy that it worked. I have no cravings and now know that smoking is only part of my history. I also want to say that I feel really good in other ways tool. All those empty feelings that I had inside me are totally gone! I got more than I expected from my money. If you've got any problems you want to work on I recommend the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. I also sleep much better too!"
Rachael B., Killeen, TX
"Since I found the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center on here I figured I would write a review about how effective I found them to be. I'm very pleased to say that I had a session with Kelly to help me stop smoking and after 37 years of smoking I stopped after that single session. It was much easier than I thought it would be and I didn't have any cravings and didn't even miss my smokes. I'm very pleased and it was definitely worth the money! My family didn't think it would work on me but now they know it would and it did."
Larry P., Buda, TX
"Very stressed attorney quit smoking at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center!"
"I was a very stressed attorney in Austin and had attempted to quit smoking on my own utilizing several different techniques. I was very frustrated with myself because it seemed like I had control over all areas of my life except the smoking. I was definitely someone who smoked to relieve stress! I saw Keli for 1 session and although I didn't believe that I was a non-smoker when I walked out of her office...I was, in fact, a non-smoker when I walked out of her office. I have not had a cigarette since and I have had no cravings and no weight gain. It's been 2 months since I saw Keli and I'm very pleased with my results and have recommended Keli to many of my clients. Keli also helped me manage my stress and I'm much more calm and relaxed in my everyday life which helps my personal and professional life tremendously."
Christi T., Austin, TX
"This gal is honest!"
"I called and spoke to Keli of Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center after doing a City Search quest for a hypnotist who could help me stop smoking. My doctor told me that I had to quit for health reasons. I called Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center to make an appointment to stop smoking. The first thing Keli asked me was if I wanted to quit smoking. I told her I don't want to quit. I told her I love smoking but that my doctor said I had to quit. Keli elegantly explained the hypnosis is not mind control and she can not make me stop smoking if that is something I really don't want to do. I asked her if she could "make" me stop smoking and she said that success rates are very poor for people who don't want to quit smoking. She told me that she wouldn't feel comfortable taking my money when the chances of my success are very slim. She did tell me that when I was really ready to stop smoking to call her and she would make another assessment to see if I was ready. I want to say that I really appreciate Keli being honest with me. She could have taken my money like another hypnotist was willing to do. As a matter of fact, I had called another hypnotist who I also found on City Search and she didn't ask me any questions. She was really eager to make the appointment and almost pushy I might add. So honesty counts in my book!. I'm in sales and I'm going to be sure that I spread the word about Keli and the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. I really appreciate her honesty and the fact that she obviously has my interests at heart."
Michael D., Austin, TX
"Goodbye Cigarettes!"
"I've tried many times to quit smoking on my own for the last 25 years and I have not been successful. Keli helped both my wife and her sister quit smoking so I just had to try it myself. After just one session, I'm now a non- smoker ... and loving life! Another side effect" of Keli's stop-smoking program is that my wife and I walk together everyday after work and we've both lost weight. Thanks, Keli!"
Nancy Z., Del Valle, TX
"I stopped smoking with hypnosis at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center"
"I am so thankful to Keli because after 26 years I finally quit smoking!! I had tried many other ways to quit smoking such as medication and will power but none of them ever worked. Keli is highly professional and really knows what she's doing! One of the most important things that I liked about Keli was that I felt that she really cared about my wellbeing. She is obviously very dedicated to her clients and her work. I would recommend her services, without reservation, to anyone!"
L. K., Pflugerville, TX
"I Quit Smoking"
"I still can't believe that after 52 years of smoking, and about 12 attempts to stop on my own, I finally quit smoking after one session at the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center. As a matter of fact, after I walked out of the office I had absolutely no urge for a cigarette and drove home being more calm and relaxed than ever before. My wife is so excited that she has sent 6 people to the Austin's Hypnosis Healing Center ... and they've all quit smoking as well."
Paul B., Cedar Park, TX
"Smoke Free & Happy"
"I wasn't sure if hypnosis would work on me because I had gone to another hypnotist a few years ago and it didn't work. I think part of the problem was that she worked out of her home and I found the setting unprofessional. I actually ran into Keli in the parking lot of her business and she heard me doing my severe smoker's cough and she told me she could help me stop smoking with hypnosis. I explained my previous failed attempt to quit with hypnosis and she told me she could help me. Well, she did help me and the hypnosis did work! I'm now a non-smoker and will remain a non-smoker for the rest of my life. BTW, there is no comparison between the hypnotist I saw a few years ago and Keli. Keli is probably a step above the rest!"

Me loves bicycle..
For the past several weeks I've been doing a human power two-wheeler. Yup, cycling. On road, off-road, cross-country (or the folks from bike enthusiast called them 'XC'), a bit of fun bike with the friends around the city, etc.
And just like its motorized big brother the experience of riding them simply is FUN!
Like its motorized big brother, there are many types of bicycle. But mainly there are 'on-road' and 'off-road'. For on road bike I ride the so-called "hybrid" bike. With flat bar and road tire but no suspension. Mine is the Kona Dew Deluxe. This mainly for on road cycling on smooth surface. For off-road I ride the full suspension mountain bike as in the picture above, the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR.
For on road, I ride mostly during week end in the morning. Jakarta city have this Car Free Day on Sunday where as its name implied the city close its main road for car and other vehicle. Usually me and several friends we ride to the city center and find a good place for breakfast. Mainly just for good fun and a bit of a lough. For exercising, my friend and I from our racing club we usually do 2 or 3 laps at Sentul track early in the morning before riding the race bike. It is good exercise, and you get to know Sentul tarmac close and personal. I've counted before that by doing 3 laps using bicycle you burn about 350 calories. Not bad!
As for off road, check out my ride, the full suspension Specialized Stumpjumper FSR bellow..
It got both front (forks) and rear (shock) suspension. With setting resembles its motorized big brother. It got compression and rebound as well as travel adjustment for the forks. As for the rear it has control for bike bobing while riding. All can be lock when in need. For off road there are plenty of track in South Jakarta and more in the surrounding area. Check out picture bellow doing XC at my alma mater the University of Indonesia Depok campus.
More picture of the of-road bike bellow, with some HDR effect..
Hope you enjoy the pics and the story above.. Happy biking! :)
June 10, 2010 at 5:00 pm
waw, nice bicycle, great photograph. can bycycle "burn out" your "air bag" faster? :mrgreen:
June 10, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Yes for sure! Need to burn those fat badly! :)
June 10, 2010 at 5:06 pm
waks, double impact eh, comment. plis, delete one pieces do you like it. thx and sorry. :-D
June 10, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Deleted already… No Prob.. :)
June 11, 2010 at 2:46 am
I had a great bike a while ago. Built it from scratch. Upgrade parts bit by bit. If I remembered correctly, most parts are already Shimano XT. Had a 9 speed Shimano XT rear gear ready for upgrade at home.
But I lost track of that bike when my empty house was torn down for renovation. It's probably in one of my folks' empty house, but dont know which one & dont have the time to look for it. I must find time to seriously search for it.-
June 11, 2010 at 5:42 am
Then come joint us for XC.. I guarantee you its burn more fat then riding Ducs.. :)
June 11, 2010 at 7:42 am
oh wow! it turns out you ride bikes as well!
http://www.econobmx.com <– my ride is somewhere in there.nice pics,.. although HDR effect kinda overdone IMO. the greens and reds are too,.. much. oh well what do i know…
June 11, 2010 at 8:37 am
Yup.. as long its two wheels I will enjoy it.. :)
I see you in BMX stuff, nice! A bit too old for me though :)
That is why they called it HDR (high dynamic range).. Everything is bit too much… hehehehe

What to Watch: Restaurant Stakeout
by Victoria Phillips in Shows, February 28th, 2012Follow tough-love restaurateur Willie Degel as he busts the bad habits of struggling restaurants on Food Network's new show, Restaurant Stakeout. See what really happens when waiters, bartenders and kitchen and service staff think no one is watching. Armed with hidden-camera footage and covert surveillance from restaurants across the country, Willie doesn't hold anything back. He tackles kitchen hazards and impossible customers alike, but is it enough to make a difference?
Tune in to the season premiere Wednesday, August 29 at 10 pm EST to find out.

Mr BIG DUMD WILL sure take his tumb stick up his ass
I hoped for more given the marketing of this show after Restaurant: Impossible, one of my favorite FN shows. Willie is not believable or sincere and lacks anything remotely genuine. I get they have to ham it up for TV, but it gets to be insulting when they think we can't tell the difference between scripted drama and faux outrage. On tonight's episode not a single person, Wille, the Owner, the Owner's son Nick, or any of the staff showed a single real emotion. There were more real smirks because they new they would be on reality TV and not whisper of remorse for being screw ups. Completely insincere and a show that belongs on Spike TV. Send it over and get back to finding real personalities. FN was built upon great personalities but the last couple of years has saw a trend towards desperation and MTV Real World-esque nonsense and so much less about the food and food service. Horrific directing and execution of what could have been a great learning tool for people passionate about food, which is what Food Network is supposed to be about. I thought the numerous overkill elimination shows and the God awful Next Food Network stars (Guy Fieri as the exception) were a new low. I was wrong.
I totally agree with this comment. If you want this show to last you better give control to the steak out guy and let him fire these POS help. It will save your show. I own a business and if any one of my employees acted like this they would be gone in a heart beat. Serious am about to stop watching this show because the climax SUCKS. Get Robert Irvine in there.
This show is for someone who doesn't have a clue about restaurants. I've worked in them for 18 years (& counting) and graduated from HTM @ Purdue University when it was #1 in the country. This guy comes in, claims to be an EXPERT in fine dining?! Are you kidding me? I'd love to see him perform silver service. Lets set up some cameras, tell you where your service is lacking & get you a manager. BOOM, good to go. Everyone knows the HEART of a restaurant is the kitchen. <– This is why shows like Kitchen Nightmares & Restaurant : Impossible are so successful. I'm not saying that service isn't a focus, I'm saying this guy is Mr. Obvious with some cameras. Tell me about your experience, your education. You own three restaurants. Mr. Degel, you don't even have a wiki page. You can't speak CORRECTLY. If this guy rolled into MY establishment & started telling me about my business- I'd laugh in his face but then again, I HAVE cameras.
No, you are wrong. What happens out in the restaurant is just as important as the kitchen. If I was treated like these customers were treated,I would never return. The staff are a bunch of morons. They are lucky to have a job and should be thankful.
I have been to his places in NY and they are outstanding. Show could be fake, but Willie's success as a restaurant owner of three outstanding steak houses and several "faster food" places is very real.
This show SUCKS big time. So disappointed in FN for airing something like this
Wow…if he ..the host I mean was for real…he would realize a customer isn't always right…especially when you serve alcohol which most establishments do…hence cutting off customers….worked fine dining and dumps and experienced it at both…scripted as plain as day…stupid
Just watched the stakeout at Nauna's in Montclair NJ. The manager worked the cash register,then picked up slices of pizza with his hands and put them in an oven.Money is one of the dirtiest things,and he handles food too!YUCK! If I was the customer ordering that pizza,I would have walked out.
Restaurants should be more aware of the personal habits of their staff.Playing with hair,putting fingers in the mouth, touching money then food are a few of the things that gross me out. -
This show is a BIG joke!!!!!! can you get Robert Irvine instead of this Willie Degel……This Willie plays very tough at the beginning while viewing the stakeout but when it's time to talk to the staff that should be fired ,he gets scared and do nothing . We want Robert Irvine….
I really wish Willy D. Would make this show more believable by firing the staff that so disrespect the own ers money and customers. I would be afraid these people would spit in my food. I don't understand why when if gets them to a sit down he smiles at them and basically let's them off the hook. Watch the show "bar rescue" he takes over the staff for the days if is there, and let's them have it. Firing people who laugh and disrespect him or the owner. Willy's show spends a lot of time getting us mad then pats these jokers on the shoulder and expects they will do better…. Right! I feel ripped off that no changes really take place. I'll give it a couple more watches cause I like the premis, but give us something to measure up to the build up!!
I am watching this show on Saturday night…a re run from earlier in the week. I will not, I say not, watch it again!!!!!!!!! I am embarrassed for Food Network on so many levels. The "star" whoever he is should stay in the kitchen and never make an apperance in the front of the restaurant and NEVER on tv. Don't care if you keep the show running for the next decade I will not watch it again and it lowers my respect to the network that I will be more selective in new shows I tune in to.

The food was as good as ever, and I'm happy to report there were no issues with service this time around. Our party actually had the same waiter as the previous visit, and though I was tempted to request another, I decided not to look like an asshole in front of my party. That ended up being a good call, service had improved tenfold. The whole staff did an excellent job, our glasses were never empty for more than a few seconds, dishes arrived at a perfect pace, and Chef Pekarcik even stepped out of the kitchen to ask how our meals were.
With the service issues fixed, and given the quality of the food, I can't recommend Spoon enough. A must visit for the Pittsburgh area.

For Denise Cabel and her family, adopting another family at Christmas through the Big Island Giving Tree has changed the way they see the holiday. She said her family started out small – the first year, through the Lokahi program, they adopted a small family. The next year they took on a bigger family. Now in their third year, Cabel said they're hooked.
The Big Island Giving Tree started as a separate group from the Lokahi program last year. Rhonda Bell, who organizes The Big Island Giving Tree, said their goal is to help working families in need, many who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances such as a death in the family, recent loss of a job or sudden illness. Different families are helped every year. Bell said what differentiates the program is that all families helped go through a screening process and that she even makes home visits.
"We are giving to families who really need assistance," Bell said.
The program also assists seniors that live in local area senior housing complexes with delivery of food bags on Christmas Day.
"Our program has grown in leaps and bounds since we started off," Bell said. "I never pictured it being so big and touching so many lives."
Cabel said her children contribute from their own money when they adopt a family. She said they were interested in helping, especially after she explained the circumstances of the families.
"It could be the only gift they have under the tree," Cabel said of the adopted family members.
Cabel said that in addition to food, clothes and gifts, this year they are also going to include gift cards to KTA, Foodland and Target so their adopted family can buy their own supplies when they need them, not just at Christmas.
"They ask for necessities, they don't ask for toys," Cabel said. "That is when you know they really need it."
Cabel, who works for herself as an aesthetician, and her husband, Oswaldo Cabel, who is the owner of OCC Electric, are glad they are able to make a difference as small business owners.
"I challenge other businesses to help out, too," Cabel said.
"If you aren't sure about it, start small," Cabel added. "Encourage your kids to do it if you can because it encourages them to see how much they have."
Bell said the Big Island Giving Tree benefits greatly when businesses, schools and organizations adopt families or hold food, basic necessity, or toy drives.
On Dec. 5, with retail space donated by Parker Ranch Center, the Big Island Giving Tree will open their seasonal store near the food court where visitors can fill out applications for assistance, drop off donations and sign up to Adopt-a-Family or Adopt-a-Child. Parker Ranch Center donates the space to them for the month.
"Parker Ranch Center has jumped on board," Bell said. "That is important to me that they want to help us because they are so generous."
The Big Island Giving Tree schedule of events starts with the tree lighting at Parker School, from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 5. The Waimea Twilight Parade Day is Saturday, Dec. 7, with daylong events at Waimea Center in their center court. The parade starts at 5:30 p.m. There will be a Bucket Brigade for Big Island Giving Tree donations starting at both ends of the parade. On Sunday, Dec. 8, there will be a Big Island Giving Tree keiki entertainment program in the Parker Ranch Center in the food court from 12 to 3 p.m. At all events, there will be a drop off table for Big Island Giving Tree donations.
Bell said she is very grateful for the many community organizations that participate.
"Parker School opens up their entire school grounds for the tree lighting of the Norfolk pine," Bell said. "Waimea Party Rentals is donating all of the chairs for the tree lighting ceremony, and many other companies are also helping."
There are also countless volunteers that help set up, emcee, provide entertainment and help clean up after events are finished.
"Last year, Hilton grand vacations did a huge drive – an essentials food and toy drive, and adopted a family," Bell said. "They filled up my truck every time I went to pick up from them. Their employees are very generous."
She said that the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel also organized a drive and dropped off their collection at the parade start last year. Hulalai Resort did the blanket drive.
The Big Island Giving Tree Store at Parker Ranch Center is open from Dec. 5 until Dec. 20. Visit the store and choose an ornament from the tree with a child's name, age and the items that are needed along with areas of interest for special gifts. Donors can Adopt-a-Family, which includes providing them with enough food items, basic necessities, and gifts (clothing, toys) for each member of the family, or they can choose to Adopt-a-Child. All items need to be new, unwrapped and unused. Canned food items need to be in good condition and not expired.
To download a form for the Adopt-A-Family or Adopt-a-Child programs, visit the Waimea Community Association website at waimeatown.org. For more information, call Bell at 880-1984 or Nancy Carr Smith at 896-2239.
To donate, checks should be written to The Christopher Nance Children's Foundation with The Big Island Giving Tree noted in the memo.

The Nenana river in the Interior of Alaska usually freezes over during October and November. The ice continues to grow throughout the winter accumulating an average maximum thickness of about 110 cm, depending upon winter weather conditions.The Nenana River Ice Classic competition began in 1917 when railroad engineers bet a total of 800 dollars, winner takes all, guessing the exact time (month, day, hour, minute) ice on the Nenana River would break up. Each year since then, Alaska residents have guessed at the timing of the river breakup. A tripod, connected to an on-shore clock with a string, is planted in two feet of river ice during river freeze-up in October or November. The following spring, the clock automatically stops when the tripod moves as the ice breaks up. The time on the clock is used as the river ice breakup time.Many factors influence the river ice breakup, such as air temperature, ice thickness, snow cover, wind, water temperature, and depth of water below the ice. Generally, the Nenana river ice breaks up in late April or early May (historically, April 20 to May 20). The time series of the Nenana river ice breakup dates can be used to indicate climate change in the region.

The borders of the Republic of Bulgaria contain some of the most unique and vulnerable cultural resources in Europe. In addition to the numerous Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age settlement mounds of the Hamangia, Vinca, Varna and Ezero cultures, there are significant remains of Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine urban centers. Perhaps most notable among Bulgarian antiquities are the remains of the Thracians, a powerful warrior kingdom conquered only by Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire. The best known Thracian remains in Bulgaria are tombs and burial mounds which contain stunning gold and silver work.
Bulgaria's archaeological heritage is significant and at the early stages of investigation. Over the past two decades, since the fall of the Iron Curtain, large scale, well published archaeological work has resumed in Bulgaria. What has been revealed thus far is the deep importance of this region both in the development of the Balkan Peninsula in the prehistoric period, and in its location at the periphery of the dynamic and multi-cultural Hellenistic and Roman spheres.

About artist: Tager Jan (1954 - 2005)
The Dutch aquarellist Jan Tager has travelled all over the world in search of a perfect landscape. We had possibility to redeem and present to your attention his picturesque series «Greek voyage». Colourful watercolors by Jan Tager bewitch us by the reliability and figurativeness. «That's... I was on this small street also... » - it would be desirable to tell, looking at his landscape of the Greek cities and villages.
Watercolor is a very whimsical technics. Especially in that case when the artist tries to achieve not only real impression of appearance, but impression of mood of the seen. It is the most difficult kind of painting, and Jan Tager copes excellent with this problem - we can see it in his watercolors.
The paintings by Jan Tager in the watercolor technic amaze with a subtlety and lyricism. His painting differs riches of tone, effect of ease and shrillness.
Jan Tager considered that art, in particular painting, is an author's vision and reality refraction and if the artist does not add something "his", it is not the art, but masterful copying of the seen only. On the other hand, if the artist can't transfer what he see on a canvas or a paper, he isn't an artist... But the real skill reached by the artist consists in alloy of the reality and absoluteness.
So the painting of Jan Tager is the masterly balancing on the most thin side separating the reality from illusion, the ordinary from a fairy tale, the validity from magic. As a result the artist creates a real-illusory world, the absolutely tremendous image, the absolutely recognised by the spectator.
His painting in the watercolor technic is the real painting, instead of drawing. It is the most thin art of perfection...

He arrived in Bahrain in early February 1991 and spent a month with British troops in the desert prior to the start of the Ground Offensive. After a brief sojourn on board a Royal Navy vessel patrolling the Persian Gulf, he spent five days in Kuwait City after liberation and saw the burning oil-wells and the desolation of the Basra Road. Keane used a camera and a video recorder rather than a sketchbook. He was given the same support and access to events as members of the press pool although once he arrived in Kuwait he was able to dictate his own schedule using a member of the Kuwaiti Resistance to guide him. On his return he began to make paintings based on his experiences and 35 works were exhibited the following year at the Imperial War Museum (26 March - 31 May 1992). The exhibition later toured other UK venues. Keane had additional support from The Guardian newspaper when he travelled to the Gulf; the Guardian also sponsored the exhibition catalogue. He had almost a year to produce the work for the show and as the opening date drew near press interest in what he was doing became intense. A double-page spread in The Evening Standard let the cat out of the bag and caused an uproar in the media. Mickey Mouse at the Front was mis-interpreted as Mickey Mouse sitting on a lavatory. It was thought to be a trivialisation of the conflict and a criticism of the American rôle in the Gulf War. Concern was also expressed over the 'censorship' of one work in the show which had pages of the Koran (which Keane had found in the desert) pasted around the edge. The work was withdrawn from show in London as it was thought to be potentially offensive to Muslims. The Museum selected two oil paintings and two drawings from the exhibition as completion of Keane's commission. In addition, he deposited his photographs and video recordings in the Photograph and Film and Video Archives of the Imperial War Museum.

Occupation: Lake County District Attorney, October 2000 to present.
Occupational Background: Klamath County District Attorney's Office; Marion County District Attorney's Office.
Educational Background: Bachelor of Arts, University of Missouri-Columbia; Juris Doctorate, University of Missouri- Columbia, School of Law.
Prior Governmental Experience: Felony Deputy District Attorney, Klamath County; Special Prosecutor, Klamath County; Felony Deputy District Attorney, Marion County; and Special Deputy Sheriff, Klamath and Lake Counties.
During this past term, I wanted to convey the numerous public safety obstacles and challenges faced by counties in eastern Oregon. With this in mind, I requested to be the Oregon District Attorney's Association representative to the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. This organization oversees the basic educational and training requirements for public safety agencies. I was appointed to be a board member by the Governor and confirmed by the legislature. Since then, I have been voicing the need to insure that rural agencies get training provided to them locally.
Recently, the district attorney's office, in a continuing commitment to providing services to victims of crime, has added a new, half-time victim's advocate position. The sole function of this new position is to increase the level of personal contact and communication with Lake County's victims of crime.
Dedication to the Community
My family and I have truly found a home in Lake County. Cathleen, my wife of fourteen years, in addition to helping raise our two wonderful sons, has recently become the Director of the Sunshine Children's Center. I have enjoyed the last five years coaching in our local youth soccer league. Additionally, I have been volunteering with the local swim team; being the vice president last year and the president for the up-coming season.
I look forward to the opportunity to continue the hard work of insuring the public safety of Lake County and its citizens as District Attorney during a third term.
(This information furnished by Committee to Re-Elect David A. Schutt, Lake County District Attorney.)

TRENTON, N.J. — Faced with a widening political scandal that threatens to undermine his second term and a possible 2016 presidential run, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apologized again Tuesday, saying his administration "let down the people we are entrusted to serve" but the issue doesn't define his team or the state.
On the eve of his second term, the governor opened his annual State of the State address by touching only briefly on the apparent political payback plot.
"The last week has certainly tested this administration," he said. "Mistakes were clearly made. And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve. I know our citizens deserve better."
He received tempered applause after he went on, saying, "This administration and this Legislature will not allow the work that needs to be done to improve the people's lives in Jersey to be delayed."
His measured tone was a noticeable contrast from a year ago when a blustery Christie promised to lead New Jersey back from Superstorm Sandy.
The scandal broke wide open last week with the release of documents showing Christie aides and appointees orchestrated lane closings that caused massive gridlock on local roads, delayed emergency vehicles and school buses for hours and infuriated commuters. Democrats think the scheme was retaliation against a Democratic mayor who did not endorse Christie.
After addressing the scandal, Christie moved on in his speech to such familiar themes as avoiding tax increases and working with the Democrats who control both chambers of the state Legislature.
But he returned to the theme of bipartisanship throughout as he sought to repel doubts about an aggressive brand of politics that propelled him to the forefront of his party but might also be responsible for an apparent petty political vendetta carried out by members of his inner circle.
"We have succeeded in working together to be an example for the entire country dispirited by partisanship," Christie said. "Let us not abandon that course."
Turning to policy matters, Christie stuck mostly to universal goals such as making communities safer without offering much of a blueprint.
Christie kept plans vague for a key initiative, extending the school day and cutting short summer vacation, which was met with skepticism from Wendell Steinhauer, president of New Jersey's largest and most powerful teachers union and a frequent adversary of Christie.
The union bitterly opposed an overhaul of public employee retirement benefits by Christie and the Legislature in 2011 and spent millions of dollars on anti-Christie ads during his gubernatorial campaigns.
The governor warned the state must reduce its pension and debt-service payments in the coming year. They're scheduled to rise by a combined total of nearly $1 billion.
