What to eat in Sapa
Perhaps my immediate love for Sapa was cross-contaminated with my relief from finally emancipating myself from a fifteen hour night-bus journey from hell. This sleepy mountain town stole my heart from the moment I stepped off the bus and flooded my lungs with its sweet bright air. And oh, that air – that air! As clean and fresh as washed sheets and dew drops and babies heads. A most welcome change from the adulterated smog that churns through Hanoi. Enchanted as ever, I spent my blissful Sapa days running around like a gleeful toddler, dividing my time carefully between eating crepes, chasing baby pigs and frolicking through those ripe sweeping hills pretending to be a Von Trapp child. Whilst advice on the latter is impossible (some of us are just born to serenade the scenery), I can pass on tidbits of the former.
Here below, is my perfect day of noshing through this perfect little village.
The local honey is superlative. You can watch the prettily dressed ladies sit cross legged in the street and make it. If you stand and linger awkwardly for long enough, you'll oft be donated a little piece of honeycomb to suckle on. As a tourist, there's every chance that you're not quite in the market for one of the enormous bottles in which they are sold. Though fret not, as many a local eatery incorporates this glorious nectar into their morning offerings. My thoughts? Either a warm French crepe drowned in the stuff from almost any local eatery, (Le Gecko has a nice one) or a bowl of the soul-tickling muesli from The Hill Station.
Morning tea
A trip to the daily market is a must. Resist the local women thrusting their achingly gorgeous infants at you to lure you into a bracelet purchase, and walk forward with intent. The market is a mixture of local clothing, trashy souvenirs, your typical Asian wet market (complete with still very much alive fish bouncing about in puddles), fresh produce and snack vendors. Roasted almonds, lightly spiced, a fresh pork bun, and a sweet sugary bun stuffed with sweet bean paste (all sold on the steps leading out of the market) are my fare of choice. Sweet bean steamed inside banana leaves never go astray either.
Fresh water rainbow trout. Though you'll see it referred to as salmon on most menus. Almost all good restaurants serve it in one way or another, so poke through a few menus until you find one that tickles your fancy. I liked it ash roasted in banana leaves and dusted liberally with herbs. Teaming it with a banana blossom salad is wildly applauded.
Afternoon tea
The local fruit is unlike the standard tropical fare you'll find in warmer parts of Vietnam. Whilst watermelon, mango and the like are still abundant here, the local fruits are definitely worth a dabble in. The Sapa peaches and pears are unlike anything I'd ever had in Asia – perhaps anywhere. The Chinese apples yield that gratifying crispy bite that sees trickles of juice practically run down your chin. They are robust little beasts, too. So if you're going to be trekking up and down mountainous terrain for all hours of the day, they make a terrific picnic fruit.
Without flinching for a moment I nominate Little Sapa, a small blink-and-you'll-miss-it eatery next to the market on Cau May street. Fancy it is not, (though none of the best restaurants are, really) what Little Sapa offers is unbelievably good food at but a fraction of the cost of that of its substandard neighbors. Whatever you do, be sure to order the five-spiced pork, which will arrive on a sizzling hotplate and leave you shooing off your envious dining companions with your fork. On a warm day, the fresh duck spring rolls are punchy and moreish and on one of those typical Sapa days that greet you with lashings of rain and cold noses a steaming bowl of beef and coriander soup is as cosy as a pair of mittens.
And as for a perfect picnic basket, to take on a little mountain climb?
A corn cob, or two, a banana blossom salad (from anywhere), maybe a few spring rolls, some bread, a little bit of cheese, the aforementioned Chinese apples and to finish, a slice of carrot cake from The Hill Station and a chocolate croissant from the bakery.

quote:And you're what I call a hypocrite, lower case.
quote:And you're what I call a hypocrite, lower case. Look, I make it a point never to argue religion, even on message boards, because all faith is personal and I don't seek to question anyone's faith and find it disgusting for others to question faith. So I'm out.
quote:If you are Catholic, you accept the teachings of the Church. Yes, it is pretty much a "no questions asked" thing.

quote:I am Catholic and could care less what people do with their bodies or unborn children, that is between them and God. I just pray for those people to see the light and quit killing children.

Donaldsonville Renovation
POSTED: Monday, March 16, 2009 - 5:59pm
UPDATED: Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 10:57pm
The economy may be bringing some businesses down, but as our Lauren Unger found out, one town is hoping art will help reverse the trend. It's been a busy few months for artist Terry Farrell, transforming an abandoned bank downtown. She's hoping to turn the finished gallery into a place where all ages can go to learn about art. "Art is something you can always do, you learn it, you can do it at home, you can do it in the park, you can do it anywhere."
It's part of an overall push to revitalize the historic downtown area, turning it into a Mecca for arts, shopping, and food. And with the nationwide economy looking fairly gloomy, some might think the arts and history would be some of the first to go, but in Donaldsonville, they're hoping the opposite will happen.
Steven Schneider and his wife own an art gallery and successful restaurant next door. Schneider says the softer economy is bringing business into the town's backyard. "I think the trends are going back to locally made and locally grown and things like that. I think it's going to be; that's going to be the wave of the future.'
It is a trend Donna Schedxnaydre sees as well. As a bed and breakfast owner, she's seen more people trying out a "staycation." "I do see people in the United States are trying to do things locally." Working together to paint a brighter future for downtown Donaldsonville.
The artists plan to do art walks in downtown Donaldsonville several times a year. Farrell's Gallery will have its official opening on May 22nd.

Three Mistakes Women Make While Dating
There are three common dating mistakes that are causing you to be chronically lonely and single. Watch out for these pitfalls, and you too can find Mr. Right!
Dating Mistake #1: Always Expecting a Man to Pay
As the waiter places the check on the table, you lean back and think, "He's the man. He should pay for the date." This attitude is outdated and tends to be a major turn-off for men. Yet many women continue to believe that a man should always pay, especially on a first date. A man wants to know that you are into him, and not just into his money. When you insist that he pays for you, you appear shallow, demanding, and greedy. This type of attitude is not attractive to men.
What should you do?

A Modern Theory of Random Variation: With Applications in Stochastic Calculus, Financial Mathematics, and Feynman IntegrationISBN: 978-1-118-16640-6
544 pages
October 2012
A ground-breaking and practical treatment of probability and stochastic processes
A Modern Theory of Random Variation is a new and radical re-formulation of the mathematical underpinnings of subjects as diverse as investment, communication engineering, and quantum mechanics. Setting aside the classical theory of probability measure spaces, the book utilizes a mathematically rigorous version of the theory of random variation that bases itself exclusively on finitely additive probability distribution functions.
In place of twentieth century Lebesgue integration and measure theory, the author uses the simpler concept of Riemann sums, and the non-absolute Riemann-type integration of Henstock. Readers are supplied with an accessible approach to standard elements of probability theory such as the central limmit theorem and Brownian motion as well as remarkable, new results on Feynman diagrams and stochastic integrals.
Throughout the book, detailed numerical demonstrations accompany the discussions of abstract mathematical theory, from the simplest elements of the subject to the most complex. In addition, an array of numerical examples and vivid illustrations showcase how the presented methods and applications can be undertaken at various levels of complexity.
A Modern Theory of Random Variation is a suitable book for courses on mathematical analysis, probability theory, and mathematical finance at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. The book is also an indispensible resource for researchers and practitioners who are seeking new concepts, techniques and methodologies in data analysis, numerical calculation, and financial asset valuation.
Patrick Muldowney, PhD, served as lecturer at the Magee Business School of the UNiversity of Ulster for over twenty years. Dr. Muldowney has published extensively in his areas of research, including integration theory, financial mathematics, and random variation.

"I'm just an angry old man, hurting for my son."
-- former President George H.W. Bush, from his upcoming autobiography
Honestly, it's easy to understand the pain of a father, now 88 years old, coming to the defense of his son, blasted by critics for being uncaring and incompetent. And as a father, it's a proper thing to do.
Unfortunately, George W. Bush chose to run for President of the United States. And in doing so, he impacted the lives of 325 million Americans, and the world. And when he left office, he had a 34% approval rating. So, two-thirds of Americans were angry to, and hurting because of his son.
Bush 41, additionally says about his son, after Hurricane Katrina –
My heart went out to him. Here is a guy who cares deeply. Who wants every possible resource of the federal government brought in to bear to help people, yet he is being roundly accused of not giving a damn ... the critics do not know what is in 43's heart, how deeply he feels about the hurt, the anguish, the losses affecting so many people, most of them poor.
It's a lovely statement. Truly moving. It just doesn't gibe with reality. "Compassionate conservative" doesn't wash anymore. As George W. Bush himself said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...uh, you can't fool me again."
The reality is, lest the attempt continue to keep trying to re-write history, that he didn't use every possible resource of the federal government to help the people whose live were destroyed. He underfunded, "No Child Left Behind." He ignored a Presidential Daily Briefing titled, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike U.S." using airplanes, and 3,000 people died. He started two wars, one of them unprovoked based on a lie. He took a $128 billion surplus and made it a $482 billion deficit. He doubled the national debt to $11 trillion. And he destroyed the economy.
He is roundly accused of not giving a damn, because whatever is in his heart and however deeply he feels about the hurt -- it's too deeply buried in there to have made much of a different in his actions, which he helped cause that hurt which affected so many people, most of them poor.
Not to mention 4,800 Americans dead. A million others dead or wounded.
Hey, I'm not sure the country is even over Bush 41, giving us Dan Quayle and Clarence Thomas. And "Read my lips – No New Taxes," a mantra Republicans like to quote proudly to this day, even though it was a lie to get elected, and his lips and pen did raise taxes. (To help try to balance the budget, by the way…)
But again, I think it's natural and lovely that Poppy Bush came to the defense of his son and that, after Hurricane Katrina, "My heart went out to him."
Me, my heart went out to the thousands of so many people, most of them poor, who lost their homes and had their lives destroyed. But that's just me.

Who thought Bush's nightmare legacy would be so little illuminated by the corruption and constitution-wrecking in Obama's.
Tired, tired, tired.
George Herbert Walker Bush (George H. W. Bush) was the country's 41'st President. His son, George W. Bush (aka "Dubya") was the country's 43rd President.
I never thought all that much of George H. W. Bush but I do more these days because he shines as President so much in comparison to his son. W was a complete disaster. In fact, my biggest disappointment with W was that I thought we'd at least get the benefit of his father's experience when he got elected. Instead, he tried deliberately to do as much as possible opposite of his father. His father, however, was competent, and he wasn't. His father went to war with a coalition; he went to war alone. His father stopped a war when it achieved the goal he'd set; he kept going. His father was the consummate diplomat; he basically told all of our allies "My way or the highway." His father raised taxes in spite of his promise when it became necessary to do so for the good of the country; he refused and left us in horrific financial shape as a result. His father had the good sense to refer to "voodoo economics" when he saw something that couldn't conceivably work; he regularly instituted policies that couldn't conceivably work. W is an embarrassment to his father. I guess speaking up on behalf of his kid might lessen the embarrassment of how much his kid reflected on him.
I've always viewed W as a pawn in the GOP machine. He had the right name at the right time in history and little else. His decline from government and from the public in general leads me to believe that he understands this. I hope he writes a tell-all one day. Can you imagine??
As David Letterman said early in the millennium, "The real threat to America is not Osama Bin Laden. It's Osama's smarter brother, Jeb Bin Laden."
God help us all.

Waddling Past The Windows
One of the great sources of frustration — and more than a few jokes — for geeks is the legendary instability of the Windows operating system. If you've ever had to rescue a box that's crashing more often than a demolition derby car, the latest offering out of Active Media Products may help you keep your cool.
We all know that like a faithful Labrador, Linux is a geek's best friend. When it comes to recovering data from a crashed system, it's particularly friendly, providing the option to boot from a Live CD or other media and recover files. The good geeks at Active Media Products, however, have taken that one step further with the release of their new BLU — Bootable Linux USB.
AMP's BLU is a USB drive pre-loaded with the latest Ubuntu release — 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope — which allows a user to boot directly into Linux regardless of the operating system installed on the box in question. According to AMP, it is compatible with Windows 7, and makes the perfect solution for disaster recovery, as it is small, portable, and allows files on the system's hard drive to be backed up to the BLU or to other media.
Like most things involving geeks, however, it doesn't stop there. As though being a clever recovery solution wasn't enough, the drives take it a step further, melding form with function. That's right the drives are shaped like — what else? — a penguin. "[D]esigned in the likeness of an emperor penguin with exacting detail," says AMP's description, and it's environmentally conscious too, as the drive is "made of non-toxic silicone rubber" and "completely free of PVC, lead and mercury."
Perhaps best about the product, though, is that it gives back more than just your data. AMP has partnered with the World Wildlife Fund on the drives, and will be donating five percent of the retail price of each drive to the WWF — with the commitment of a minimum contribution of $25,000 annually. The company has partnered with the WWF on two other endangered-species drives, for polar bears and pandas.
The drives are already available, and come in five sizes: 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB. They are available from Amazon for $8.95 - $42.95, or from AMP's distributor AVC for $11.97 - $42.97. (Amazon appears to not stock the 2GB drive, while AVC doesn't list the 1GB.)
And for those in a particularly giving mood, this week's other charitable announcement provides an opportunity to double your do-gooding: Use your shiny new Tux Card from the Linux Foundation support Linux while you save penguins.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Um, The usb drive with
Um, The usb drive with ubuntu preloaded on it costs about the same as the retail price for a regular usb drive of the same size.
And since it is very simple to clear out the usb drive there is really no reason for buying it without ubuntu on it.

Where can we buy the USB flash stick/drive only?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Since opening our doors in 1947, we have successfully helped more than a quarter of a million new Canadians adapt to life in their new homeland.
Did you know that among the 20,000+ clients that JVS helps annually, 18,000 of them are job seekers?
In just 1 year, over 3000 at-risk youth gained access to employment and connected with many opportunities with the help of our Youth Services.
Did you know that in 1950, JVS Toronto was made up of 5 workers? Today, our Toronto team encompasses over 220 staff members!
Last year, we helped an estimated 20,000 clients, almost 10,000 of them new to JVS. With your help, we can keep helping those in need!

Yummy chicken, broccoli, onions, and mushrooms with a savory honey dijon sauce....atop natural whole grain rice! A delicious, easy and low budget meal, ANYTIME! Tips: You can use honey mustard to substitute the honey and the dijon mustard, still tastes great! The rice calls for butter, but I skipped out on that! If you use natural cooking spray, you don't have to worry about calories hiding in there as well. My family enjoyed it, even my one year old son! I hope you enjoy it! Very simple and very yummy!..Submitted by: KRYSTALBLU22
I love tandoori chicken, so the last time I had a whole chicken, I decided to just roast the WHOLE thing in a tandoori marinade. Note that the cayennne, hot peppers and black pepper are optional - use one or more as desired. The recipe here uses a skinless chicken - the fat and calories will be MUCH higher if you leave the skin on.The foil is essential if you don't want a dried-out chicken - remember that this is skinless chicken!Each serving here is the traditional quarter chicken (breast and wing, or leg and thigh) - probably enough for 2 individual 3-oz servings, so keep that in mind when you look at the nutrition information. :) You can use the same marinade and just coat 4 chicken breasts or 4 leg-and-thigh pieces instead, if you prefer a quicker, less messy preparation.Enjoy!Submitted by: BIGGIRL2082010

Cam's performance
Posted 09 September 2012 - 11:05 PM
I thought Newton looked terrific. 2nd interception was terrible but all in all, he is FAR from one of our worries. Or at least he should be.
Posted 09 September 2012 - 11:08 PM
His second was a combination of him and the oline. It was not a great read, but the throw would have at least given smith a chance if cam had adequate room to step up.
Posted 09 September 2012 - 11:22 PM
Pretty much thisConsidering he threw for 300, his running back didnt pick up a first down all game, and his OL was non-existent...not bad.
Dude still needs to learn how to win tho...and that starts with feeling some urgency in the 4th instead of continuing to be lax.

You are a f*cking retard.
...and you have great command of the English language.
Newton performed poorly. The team performed poorly. I gave reasons why I didn't like his performance yesterday.
If that hurt people's emotional attachment to Cam, sorry.
If Jake Delhomme had that performance yesterday, this board would have exploded
I am/was a huge Newton supporter and the people calling me absurdly a 'racist' yesterday need to go back and check the history on my posts about Newton.
Also, 'racist' is word that should not be thrown around to anyone without evidence because I questioned his ability. The two are a non-sequitor.
If a receiver has 3 people around him, odds are nothing good is going to come of that, but he made the decision anyway. He killed yet another drive with that decision Sorry. If 3 defenders are
on one receiver, odds are someone else is alone. Find that receiver and the ending is
To me, a QB is someone who leads his team from behind to win, someone people believe will make it happen. That's what elite QBs do. He is elite in FF. I have him as my QB in FF. A lot different on the field were Ws matter, not stats.
Next week, the Panthers play a team that was man handled by the Redskins. Let's see how they do.
Posted 10 September 2012 - 06:37 AM
Compare that to Delhomme and Jimmy's worst game ratings.

It's so sad to see how some of you in such denial about your team as a whole and assume a QB is simply the answer. When every team sees your QB as the most consistent threat on the team outside of maybe Smitty and do everything to stop him. Sadly, it working becaue the team seem to think Cam can do it all, that is not a good sign for your team. That sends a message that the rest of the team is being very lazy and is solely dependent on the QB to do all the work.
When Cam only has a couple of seconds to read the field before he makes a decision because the O-Line shuts down so quickly that isn't good. And FYI, that was the BIGGEST problem with the O-line last season also. It obviously didn't get fix. Maybe because so much is expected the QB and very, very little from the rest of the team.
Look how elated you were over the defense giving Josh who really wasn't playing that great, so much time in the pocket. Any other QB, and the score would have been much higher.
I have to say, as an outsider following the Panthers for a year now, the spirit of team is a lot like it's fans..Very up and down. There is no consistency in the emotions of the Panther team. So any given Sunday you don't know what you will get.
Look at the Eagles and Lions. The QBs were interception city but the TEAM helped them make the plays and pull out wins. It's clear they don't leave everything up to their QB.

Considering the "performance" of the OL, I thought he played decent. The first INT should've been a pass interference, but it was a bad decision to throw into triple coverage. The second INT was another bad decision, but didn't really hurt us too bad since it was already 3rd and long and that INT basically equaled a 30 yard punt.
When the OL is struggling like they were today, Chud has to stop trying to be cute and call some quick hitter plays or some max protect plays to get us cranking. He called way too much slow developing bullshit today and the Bucs just kept pinning their ears back and bringing the heat.
I think you're spot on with your assessment - and was thinking the same thing. I watched Robert Griffin start the game off 7 for 7 yesterday, with almost all screens and quick passes. Those slow developing plays are too much for the o-line right now. I thought a few screens would have gone a long way in getting Cam's confidence up and our RBs going as well.

Like usual, Cam's game was a mixture: moments of "wow" and moments of "whuh?". The latter get magnified when the line is underperforming.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Christian hospital accused of cruelly deporting sick patient to die
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
April 23rd, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) According to a report by the Associated Press, American hospitals have sent over 600 illegal immigrants back to their home countries to avoid the costs of long-term care in cases of serious illness and injury. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the AP, The center for Social Justice at Seaton Hall University has documented several cases of what is termed "medical repatriation." Patents have been sent back to their home countries including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Lithuania, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Korea.One particularly upsetting case involved Quelino Ojeda Jimenez, who according to The Chicago Tribune reported suffered severe injuries after falling from a building he was working on at the Midway Airport in 2010. His injuries functionally left him as a quadriplegic and unable to breathe without a ventilator. Christ Medical Center provided his care for four months, incurring $650,000 in expenses. Three days before Christmas in 2011, Jimenez was put on a chartered flight back to Mexico. Jimenez cried and was unable to speak or protest his move away from his family, especially days before Christmas. Jimenez was sent to a facility in Mexico that could not provide the care he needed or the filters for his ventilator. Without adequate care, Jimenez soon suffered two heart attacks and septic infection and died on Jan. 2, 2012,less than a few weeks after being deported against his will - by a Christian hospital. Was this decision consistent with the mission of the overtly Christian, not-for-profit medical center? Their mission statement reads in part: .to ensure that the mission, values and philosophy rooted in our fundamental understanding of human beings as created in the image of God. And continues with: Advocates exist to serve. The core values of compassion, equality, excellence, partnership and stewardship guide our actions. So who called this shot? Who sent a tearful Jimenez to his death, away from his family, in direct contradiction to the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Luke 10:25-37, the parable of the Good Samaritan? It's understood there are a couple layers to this story. The first is that Jimenez was in the country illegally. He shouldn't have been here. So yes, this is a legal issue on the one hand. Yet the legal issue should have been left to the immigration and judicial officials. It is also a moral issue. It is an ontological issue, in that a self-proclaimed Christian medical facility would send anyone who was gravely ill away from their family and adequate care, to die alone in another country. The second issue is one of money. Naturally, it sounds astounding to expect a medical institution to bear $650,000 in uncovered expenses when that money can save many other lives. However, this is a function of costs set by an unchecked industry well above what they should truly be. This is a classic case of profit trumping life. In Christian teaching, we are told not to worry about money, for God provides what we need. Somebody skipped that day at Sunday school it seems. What's most alarming is that this case isn't isolated. There are hundreds of others like it. It is clear that we need to enforce existing immigration laws, while reforming the system to safeguard our borders and ensure that people who come into the country legally have access to equal opportunities including adequate health care. Those who enter illegally should be handled appropriately. However, in no case should any soul, no matter their immigration status, who presents to a medical facility, be deported by decisions of doctors or executives whose interest is financial. It is especially reprehensible to see a Christian facility treat another human being so. We need genuine healthcare and immigration reform in our country. Sadly, given the current climate in Washington, neither seems immediately forthcoming. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Business Excellence Interview with Brenton Harder, MD COO Division, Credit Suisse
About this Podcast...
To Credit Suisse, quality means getting it right the first time, a tagline its Business Excellence leaders are driving across the organization. In this Profit through Process podcast, Megan James, Summit Director for IQPC's 5th Annual European Business Excellence Summit and Six Sigma IQ's advisory board member, speaks with Brent Harder, MD COO Division, VP Operational Excellence for Credit Suisse. Harder share his thoughts on Business Excellence in today's economy and how Credit Suisse is progressing with its own internal Operational Excellence program.
Harder, a headlining speaker at the Business Excellence Summit in October, provides an overview of Credit Suisse's Business Excellence program. He details how for the past three to four years Credit Suisse has been building both awareness and support for quality across the entire organization. Moving away from centralizing quality, Harder points to Credit Suisse's drive to push process improvement on everyone's agenda and lists the four major shifts in its operational excellence program that are helping to achieve this initiative, which include shifting quality accountability to business units and focusing on the integration of quality with strategic innovation.
Harder shares key advice for process improvement professionals embarking on a Business Excellence program deployment, including his thoughts on talent management, and his belief that you should first implement Business Process Management, not Six Sigma, within your organization.
