text: 2011-12 Winning Essay Title: If You Can Keep It Author: Michael Sommer Fayette County School: Henry Clay High School Grade: 10th Sponsoring Teacher: Dr. Keen Babbage When discussing anything related to American political life, it is often common form to quote one or another of the Founding Fathers. These men, after all, laid down the very bedrock upon which our government is based. They had foresight, in their framing of the Constitution, which is rarely matched in history. When discussing the meaning of citizenship, one quote always seems to be beautifully relevant: confronted with a reporter outside the Constitutional Convention on its final day asking what sort of government we had, Benjamin Franklin replied, "A Republic, if you can keep it." This, then, is what it means to be an "actively engaged citizen of the United States of America" to me. To be a retainer of the republic, to be one who serves the duty set out for them by Mr. Franklin. An actively engaged citizen is not just one who votes, for there are many ways to subvert the electoral system for the purpose of tyranny. An actively engaged citizen is not just one who marches on Washington with inflammatory signs and a heart filled with misdirected rage. An actively engaged citizen is certainly not a person who dismisses politics, of any level, as unimportant, who spends more time concerned with his or her own personal matters than the maintenance of his or her country. An actively engaged citizen must be active and engaged in three spheres: in government, in their own education, and in economy. By rights the most obvious sphere within which the ideal citizen engages himself or herself is that of politics. When we think of "keeping the republic," the easy conclusion to draw is that we have an obligation to vote in a way that accomplishes this goal. And, in fact, this is true. The most basic duty of all engaged citizens is voting, the basic engine by which our democracy is allowed to function. However, a machine cannot be run solely with an engine. The maintenance of any complex mechanism must include all those pieces that work together to achieve its function. Such can also be said of a government. Voting gives the republic its energy, but there are myriad other activities one must participate in to keep it functioning. An actively engaged citizen must be willing to be a lobbyist for his or her interests, as well as for those of his or her fellow citizens. A representative or senator should not simply be elected to a job. He or she ought to be elected to represent, and this means listening to his or her constituents. What shall we do if these representatives or senators refuse to act in their expected capacity? We remove them from office. Never in a true republic should an unsatisfactory public servant be reelected. An actively engaged citizen has an obligation to assist in choosing the best individual to be a representative, not simply the lesser of two evils. If ever we are forced to choose between two equally undesirable candidates of different political parties, we know we have failed. A republic is not by necessity a two-party, pick-one-or-the- other system. If there is no desirable candidate, find one. Find him or her and make sure he or she wins. If this individual can not be found, perhaps it is best you take the job yourself. This republic was not designed to elect only a certain class of people to government. It was crafted to be made of the best and the brightest, of all classes and origins. Here we would do well to learn from the early democracy of the Athenians, who expected all citizens to occasionally serve in government, as normally as we serve jury duty in our own society. An actively engaged citizen, a true upholder of the republic, must be willing to do his share for democracy. However, the problem we find all too often is that of the citizen who believes simply being involved in politics makes him or her a responsible citizen. We find this attitude demonstrated in groups like the Tea Party and liberal advocacy groups such as MoveOn. These individuals believe that, despite the extremes they promote, their simple involvement in politics reflects well on them. They believe that simply by virtue of being involved in the political process, they are doing society a favor, that they are doing all that can be done to maintain the republic. The truth is that an actively engaged citizen's duties do not end at simply being involved in politics. One must also be heavily involved in the education of the political views they carry. A simple litmus test can be applied: how many sources do you utilize for politically pertinent information? The lower the answer, the less it can be expected that you are a truly engaged citizen. More importantly, how often do you question the claims on politics that you hear? Do you gobble up the latest sound bites and political rhetoric, or do you engage in fact checking of this information? Do you apply equal skepticism to those you agree with as to those you disagree with? Do you consider new solutions to issues, weighing them against those you currently agree with? The worrying trend is that those who count themselves as "politically active" will, if answering truthfully, respond in the negative to many or all of those questions. An actively engaged citizen has not just a responsibility to involve themselves in politics, but to do so reasonably. The abandonment of free thought will always be a hindrance to active citizenship. A tyrant can come in many forms. He may be an usurper, one who takes power by his own power. In the modern day, however, it is far more common to see enabled tyranny. A tyrant enabled, perhaps, by apathy towards his evils. Enabled, perhaps, by demagoguery, by the willingness of the masses to just go along with what was being said. The succession of the Weymar Republic by the Nazis was not a result of violent revolution. It was the result of a people allowing reason to be tossed aside in fear and anger. Clichéd though the example may be, it rings true, and further examples can be found in modern day dictators such as Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. A republic cannot simply be kept by participation in democracy. That participation must be educated. The actively engaged citizen knows the threat that ignorance poses to the republic, and he or she will always refuse to become a part of that ignorance. Unfortunately, there is one final threat to the republic that must be safeguarded against by the engaged citizen. One, I fear, that was not even anticipated by Mr. Franklin himself. Our republic has, for over two and a half centuries, gone hand-in-hand with a free market, a trait that we must be proud of. Competition is the drive of excellence, and to preserve competition is to preserve the excellence of a society. Nonetheless, with this achievement comes a certain degree of danger. Money is power, and when we do not pay close attention to who is receiving this power, we open ourselves to a new form of tyranny – the tyranny of the dollar. An actively engaged citizen must be wary of all sources of power in his nation; money is in fact one of the sources. The latter half of the last century saw the rise of some of the greatest tyrants of wealth, multinationals like Wal-Mart, McDonalds, and Old Navy. Certainly these titans of industry have existed for quite some time. Their level of influence, however, is brand new. Never before have we seen massive corporations consume so totally entire sectors of the economy. Corporations that, upon close inspection, do not represent the interests of the society that allows them to exist. Every laborer who buys a Big Mac – McDonalds being a vehement opponent of minimum wage raises as a member of the National Restaurant Association1 - does so at his or her own peril. Every homosexual that eats at Chik-Fil-A – which donates heavily to anti-gay rights group Focus on the Family2 – does so at his or her own peril. Every active internet user who uses Verizon or AT&T or Time-Warner – all companies who have lobbied for the right to restrict subscribers' internet access3 - does so at his or her own peril. When one becomes apathetic towards who receives one's money and what that person does with it, that person subverts the republican system. He or she fosters an economy that fights his or her every interest, which utilizes its money to influence the political system in ways that make a mockery of the republic. In a capitalist society, every dollar is a vote. Every cent you give to Burger King or Best Buy or Sears is a message that says "I like what you're doing. Keep doing it. All of it." An actively engaged citizen is conscious of who he or she votes for and why; this includes every vote, not just the ones he or she casts on Election Day, but the ones he or she casts at the cash register. And so, the question arises, how should an actively engaged citizen handle the issues of today? How should the challenges that we are faced with today be handled in such a way that we maintain the integrity of the republic? Let us take a look at, undoubtedly, one of the most-discussed issues of today's politics: the national debt. Considering first the issue of political engagement, the actively engaged citizen must be aware of the way in which his or her representative and senators have contributed to this issue. All are to blame for this sordid situation. As a single example of action which nearly every member of Congress has refused to take, we can look at the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction plan4. The plan, created by a committee appointed by the President in 2010, was far from a perfect plan. No such plan exists. However, the plan included several serious proposals that, with building through reasoned debate, could have formed the basis for an ideal deficit-reduction plan. Instead, the President never submitted the committee's plan, and Congress never voted on it. The two parties have instead focused on political gamesmanship with highly partisan proposals occasionally put forward by one or the other side. An actively engaged citizen will realize, then, that these representatives have failed at their job. They must be held accountable, and come election year 2012 every actively engaged citizen must be engaged in the quest to find the honest, committed representatives who will do what these people could not. Next, on the matter of education, it must be said that a keeper of the republic will likely not agree entirely with any of the demagogues in Congress today. All around we see good ideas mixed with bad ones, and no person steps forth to use only the good ones. From an educated standpoint, the realization must come that neither deep spending cuts nor steep tax increases will solve our problems. The two must be combined, cleverly and viciously. Unnecessary spending ought to be done away with, social programs must be streamlined, and the military should be considered among those available to be cut. Serious tax reform must be confronted, with not just loopholes but serious and objective analysis of what plans might bring in sufficient revenue to cover the services the government must perform. As new information comes in, the actively engaged citizen must be shrewd to identify problems with proposals, and determine what the best alternatives are. Finally, an actively engaged citizen must assess the harm the private sector causes in this matter. Companies like General Electric get away with no taxes5, and we tell them this is okay with our dollars. Oil companies receive enormous subsidies from the government, and we mark our stamp of approval with our expenditures. Corporations must be petitioned as much as the government to take responsibility for the present situation, and the actively engaged citizen will do just that. Democracy is not maintenance-free. As Benjamin Franklin said, we have a republic, but only so long as we can keep it. The actively engaged citizen fulfills all of their duties to uphold that republic, not only in voting, but in being a part of the republic, by cultivating the mind, and by enforcing one's rightful influence on the economy.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: D-backs could be interested in Jake Peavy
With the MLB trade deadline looming at the end of July, rumors are swirling about many different teams and players.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, currently in first place by a game and a half over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West, are one of the teams looking for pitching help for a second-half push.
Buster Olney, in an ESPN Insider piece, says the D-backs may have interest in Chicago White Sox veteran right-hander Jake Peavy.
Writes Olney:
Peavy has deep ties with the Arizona organization: General manager Kevin Towers was with the Padres when Peavy was drafted, developed and promoted, and Towers has always loved Peavy's competitiveness. There is a perception within the Arizona organization that the rotation could use a veteran stabilizer -- someone who can work with younger pitchers such as Ian Kennedy and Trevor Cahill -- and this is what Peavy has done for Chris Sale in Chicago.
Peavy has been shelved with a rib injury since early June, but has posted a 6-4 record with a 4.30 ERA in 11 starts for the Sox this season. He's slated to make a rehab start Sunday.
The 32-year-old is in the first year of a two-year, $29 million contract he signed with Chicago last October.
As far as whom the D-backs could be dangling in a potential Peavy trade, Olney writes:
Whether it's coincidence or not, the White Sox scouts saw the Diamondbacks on a night earlier this week when Randall Delgado pitched. Arizona, like the (St. Luois) Cardinals, has some pitching depth, with Tyler Skaggs, Archie Bradley and others, and Delgado could be a trade chip.

Some corporate slogans speak to improving the human condition (DuPont: "Better things for better living through chemistry"). Some speak to elevating human relations (Hallmark: "When you care enough to send the very best.") and then there's the Hooters restaurant chain, which cheerfully admits to no higher calling than lowbrow pleasure: "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined." So how on earth, in such a politically correct age, in such a failure-prone business, could Hooters have reached age 20 and still be busting out all over? From a single Florida beach bar, Hooters has expanded to 342 locations (27 of them, ahem, abroad), four lines of retail food, one golf tour, and two car-racing circuits (stock and drag). If you laid out the 30 million pounds of Hooters wings served each year, they'd encircle the globe at the equator. If you piled up the 15,000 current Hooters Girls ... well, they'd really be stacked. Even the sky is no longer the limit: Hooters Air started flying in March. It provides service from Newark, N.J., Baltimore, and Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Painted in the corporate colors of orange and white, the four 112-seat jets are airborne billboards, with the trademark Hooters owl roosting on their tails. Two Hooters Girls are aboard each flight, emceeing trivia games, hawking Hooters merchandise, and on the whole acting a lot perkier than flight attendants on other airlines who've just taken 20% pay cuts. Is this any way to run an airline? Well, considering that many experienced operators are trying to recover from record-breaking losses, Hooters could hardly do worse. But then Hooters Air is more about building the brand than becoming a serious player in aviation. Hooters' flights of fancy have already brought in reams of free publicity. "You're here, aren't you?" notes Bob Brooks, the man who has sent Hooters soaring. We are at one of his restaurants in Atlanta, sitting amid a swirl of Hooters Girls serving the lunchtime crowd. Brooks hardly seems to notice them. There have been 200,000 Hooters Girls over the years, after all-and the chairman of Hooters of America is no Hugh Hefner. Brooks, 66, is a Methodist family man who grew up on a South Carolina tobacco farm and today lives in a modest home in Myrtle Beach (that, and the area's golf attractions, explain the Hooters hub). His voice is so quiet it's hard to hear in the midday din. But he is no pushover. He has fought diabetes, overcome a stroke, and endured the death of a son, Mark, in a plane crash that also took the life of Alan Kulwicki, a Hooters-sponsored NASCAR driver. He has a simple view of the restaurant business: "Good food, cold beer, and pretty girls never go out of style," says Brooks, who sees great augmentation in Hooters' future. It is already America's tenth-largest full-service restaurant chain, with 2003 revenues estimated at $750 million, and Brooks thinks the country can support 1,000 Hooters. That may be stretching it as much as a Hooters Girl's tank top, says Chicago restaurant consultant Ron Paul. The only two comparable chains that have more than 800 locations (Applebee's and Chili's) draw a large number of women and families. Hooters' relies on 25- to 54-year-old males, who account for 70% of business. On the other hand, "nobody's trying to do what they do," Paul says. "It allows them to stand out in a crowded field." The history of Hooters has more curves and swerves than one of its waitresses wending her way across a crowded room-and is considerably less appealing. For years Brooks and the founders of Hooters fought over everything from menu items to whether Lycra was part of the Hooters ethos. For all the acrimony, which ended in 2001, everyone agrees that Hooters began with a beach bar in Clearwater, Fla., in October 1983. They also agree that the ball got rolling when a restaurant executive named Hugh Connerty wandered in one night in 1984. The six friends who launched Hooters were not seeking to create an American icon. They were a bunch of fun-loving Midwestern transplants who wanted to create their kind of place and who scraped together $140,000 to do it. Three were tradesmen-L.D. Stewart, a painting contractor; Ken Wimmer, his partner; and Dennis Johnson, a brick mason. The others were Ed Droste, a real- estate executive; Gil DiGiannantonio, a liquor salesman; and William Ranieri, a retired service station owner who went by "Uncle Billy" because he was a good 30 years older than his thirtysomething partners. The six didn't know much about the restaurant business, but they knew what they liked: finger food, girls, and golden oldies on the jukebox. Connerty was in Florida scouting locations for a steak house chain he'd started, Colorado Joe's, but he abruptly changed plans after a night at Hooters. The place was lots of fun and, he thought, had loads of potential. He would give the six co-founders $50,000; they would continue to own the trademark and get 3 cents on every dollar the Hooters Girls brought in. They would also keep the rights to build more Hooters locations in a six-county area of Tampa Bay. (They later added the Chicago metro territory.) for his $50,000, Connerty got the right to build Hooters everywhere else in the U.S. He was required to stay faithful to every aspect of the original, right down to the secret wing sauce. The deal was very much in the early Hooters spirit: Originally drafted on a napkin and considered over pitchers, it was sealed days after Connerty proposed it. Beginning in 1985, he took Hooters to other Florida cities and then to other Southeastern markets. But it was soon clear that he had more vision than capital. So Connerty approached Bob Brooks, a business acquaintance, for loans. Brooks was rich, and he knew the restaurant business because some of the big chains bought from his food-service company, Naturally Fresh. He was also tough. In 1988, Brooks called the notes, and when Connerty couldn't pay, took over the Hooters development rights. Connerty's consolation prize: ownership of Hooters restaurants in Jacksonville and Tallahassee. (He no longer owns them and today has no connection with Hooters.) Brooks' takeover stabilized one end of the business but unsettled relations with the founders. There was Hooters Inc. In Clearwater, the corporate entity owned and run by the original six. And there was Hooters of America in Atlanta, owned and run by Brooks. He had the capital to push Hooters into new states, which the founders liked, since they got a piece of every chicken wing sold. But he also kept pushing the restaurants to buy huge quantities of items like salad dressings from Naturally Fresh. The Hooters Six bridled, believing that their version of blue-cheese dressing was sacred. They prevailed in that battle, but the war was on. "You had one group that had the power," says Jim Hammond, an early Hooters executive and now a franchisee with restaurants in three states. That was Hooters Inc., whose trademark ownership restricted what could be done under the Hooters name. Then there was Hooters of America, "which had the money and didn't want to be told what to do." Part of the problem was that Hooters wasn't just about the externals of blond wood and blond bombshells. It was about the subtleties of its leering yet giggling essence. When co-founder Ed Droste started the Hooters calendar in 1986, he made sure it was very good cheesecake but also very funny. The months were out of order, each day had a joke, and the whole month of March was devoted to Iowa humor-e.g., "You know you're from Iowa if you consider being called a Pork Queen an honor." (Droste and Dennis Johnson both hail from Waverly, Iowa.)

McClatchy nails Brad Schlozman on partisan hiring tactics:
Congressional investigators are beginning to focus on accusations that a top civil rights official at the Justice Department illegally hired lawyers based on their political affiliations, especially for sensitive voting rights jobs.
Two former department lawyers told McClatchy Newspapers that Bradley Schlozman, a senior civil rights official, told them in early 2005, after spotting mention of their Republican affiliations on their job applications, to delete those references and resubmit their resumes. Both attorneys were hired.
One of them, Ty Clevenger, said: "He wanted to make it look like it was apolitical . . . "
Clevenger also recalled once passing on to Schlozman the name of a friend from Stanford as a possible hire. "Schlozman called me up and asked me something to the effect of, `Is he one of us?'" Clevenger said. "He wanted to know what the guy's partisan credentials were."
Remember, the Justice Department has now launched a probe of Monica Goodling on charges that she was engaged in hiring on the basis of party affiliation (indeed, it seems that hiring and firing on the basis of partisan loyalty was her job). But at this point the evidence against against Paul J. McNulty and Brad Schlozman, who are not targets of any probe, is stronger. These facts provide plenty of reason to question the bona fides of the current probe.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "The Beaver" finally will see the light of day. Jodie Foster's movie that stars her friend, Mel Gibson, will open in a few theaters March 23. It'll expand to more April 8. "The Beaver" had been in limbo during Gibson's custody battle with his ex-girlfriend. Jodie Foster directed "The Beaver." It's a dramedy starring Gibson as a troubled family man trying to cope with help from an unusual friend: a beaver puppet he wears on his hand. Foster also co-stars, along with Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence.

When it comes to getting bills from a doctor's visit, it can get pretty confusing pretty quickly. It is important to understand that just because you are in your doctors office does not mean that office is the only entity providing a service. You must consider lab work, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and specialists. In rare cases, your primary physician may take on the billing for all of the services but usually the bills are all handled through insurance. Your insurance will pay the various providers and then provide you an EOB or Explanation of Benefits. Then the various companies involved will all send bills to you. So, when you pay the co-pay at the doctor's office visit, it doesn't end there!
Self Pay Patients
We wanted to take some time and focus on medical insurance in comparison to self pay patients because many people get their credit destroyed by medical bills. In later articles, we will also delve into medical insurance, co-pays and the seemingly endless number of bills that can accumulate from one visit to the doctor. In that regard, it is very important to think of your doctor as a store front offering many products by many different manufactures just like your local supermarket.

AskMen.com put together its annual list of the 49 most influential men, and this year's top spot went to . . . Don Draper. That's right, Mad Men's dreamy leading man beat out President Obama, among others, which got me thinking about his fictitious competitors. I racked my brain for the men of the small screen that are admirable as well as affecting, even if they aren't all perfect gentlemen.

Oak Creek - A South Milwaukee man who drove his car into a ditch was arrested for possession of a controlled substance after he brought a bag containing marijuana and drug paraphernalia into a police squad before being taken home by an officer.
According to the police report:
An officer requested a tow truck after he saw a vehicle in a ditch with its hazard lights on in the 400 block of East Rawson Avenue about 12:45 p.m. Feb. 27. The driver, a 53-year-old South Milwaukee man, told the officer he had lost control of his car.
While waiting for the tow truck to arrive, the officer discovered the driver's license was suspended and he was given a ticket. He also was cited for driving an unregistered vehicle and was given a verbal warning for losing control of the car.
When the tow truck arrived, the officer had the man exit his vehicle in order to take him home, due to the man's suspended driving status. Before getting out of his car, the man grabbed a plastic grocery bag from his car and carried it with him to the squad. The officer searched the man, placed him into the rear of the squad and the Woodman's bag was placed on the passenger's seat.
The officer searched the bag after realizing it smelled like fresh marijuana and found it contained a green bank bag filled with four smoking devices and two plastic bags containing 12 grams of THC.
The man was taken into custody, cited for possession of marijuana and received a written warning for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Flo Rida - Sugar ft. Wynter Gordon
Artist: Flo Rida
Featuring: Wynter Gordon
Producer: DJ Montay
Album: R.O.O.T.S.
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 121 votes )
With R.O.O.T.S. lead single Right Round, Flo Rida reworked Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round into a strip club anthem—a concept that, while ridiculous on paper, resulted in one of '09's biggest hits to date. After hearing his latest single selection, all I can say is that Flo's outdone himself. Remember I'm Blue, the '99 hit that was ultra-catchy way back when, but now exists as nothing but a slightly irritating memory? Well, prepare to hear that "Da ba dee, da ba die" chorus about a thousand more times—on Sugar, the emcee teams up with fellow Floridian DJ Montay and Surveillance singer Wynter Gordon to bring one-hit-wonder Eiffel 65's one hit into the 21st century. Flo's flow is tight and propulsive as he pays tribute to a woman whose kisses are sweet as candy, but it's the chorus that will have this record on repeat in listeners' heads (whether they like it or not). Easily as addictive as the titular substance, Sugar is sure to have R.O.O.T.S. flying off record store shelves on the 31st.

Read a special message from Game Director Matt Firor, find out when you'll join your alliance in The Elder Scrolls Online, and watch our new trailer, War in Cyrodiil!
Get ready to begin your adventures in Tamriel—we're excited to announce that The Elder Scrolls Online will be available worldwide for PC and Mac on 4.4.2014 and for PS4 and Xbox One in June 2014! We can't wait to get everyone in-game!
We'd like to share a message about this announcement from The Elder Scrolls Online Game Director Matt Firor with you:
Greetings everyone. As we are approaching the end of 2013 and heading into our launch year, I thought I'd take a moment to thank you, our community, for your continued support. I'd also like to give you an update on the game's development and our launch plans for 2014.
First, thanks to everyone involved in the ESO community: those we met at trade shows, those of you on social media, and those that have had a chance to play the game and provided invaluable feedback through beta testing. I personally am humbled by the intense feelings of excitement expressed to us by the community at large. At shows like PAX East, PAX Prime, Gamescom, Eurogamer Expo, Paris Games Week, etc. – we always had three to four hour lines to play ESO. We know those wait times weren't easy, and the great patience and enthusiastic reception you showed was remarkable. Everyone here at ZeniMax Online appreciates each and every one of you and your fantastic support of the game.
Game development is coming along very well. We completed major systems development, and are focusing on making this the Elder Scrolls game you expect: polishing the hundreds and hundreds of hours of content, making combat even more fun and responsive, fixing quest issues, and much, much more. In fact, we plan on spending the next few months before launch reacting to the latest feedback from internal and external testers and gameplay data we have collected.
As some of you know, we've been in beta testing for about a year now, leading up to our most recent test in late November where we had over 300,000 people in the game over a 48 hour period. We've had approximately 4 million people sign up for beta and that number continues to grow. We hope that just about every one of you who have signed up for beta will get an invitation to play sometime between now and the weeks before launch. These tests are very important, not only for gameplay feedback, but also to test our infrastructure. Beta tests can sometimes be a little rough when we are testing some systems for the first time with large numbers of players. So thank you to all who have participated for your understanding and support. It is very much appreciated.
Worldwide demand for The Elder Scrolls Online is extraordinarily high. This means we need to do a staggered rollout of the different versions of the game to spread out the initial service load and ensure an enjoyable, smooth gameplay experience. It is not only a game we are launching – it is a large online service as well, and our number one priority is to ensure a trouble-free, stable rollout for everyone.
We long ago promised that as soon as a version of the game is ready, we will launch it. So we're happy to announce that the game will launch worldwide for PC and Mac players on Friday, April 4, 2014, while PlayStation 4 and Xbox One fans will see the game arriving on consoles in June 2014.
Again, thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm over the past year. We are very proud of this game and excited to share it with you. We can't wait to see you in the game in 2014! —Matt
And, as a final part of the celebration, we're taking you straight to the heart of Tamriel to witness the Alliance War in our new trailer, War in Cyrodiil. Are you prepared to face your enemies, conquer their fortifications, and claim the Ruby Throne?
We've been looking forward to sharing this news with you, and we can't wait to meet you in Tamriel!

The location was great. The hotel policies are the same as the USA, vs other hotels here.
The water in the jacuzi was colder than i desired.
That it was in a great neighborhood. The morning breakfast was the best.
The pool was open to the public.
On Sunday night of 01/04/2015 we went to have dinner at the Casa Vera Rest on the Hotel. By 1:00 am we got sick with bad diarrhea and vomit, we spend all night like that. On the morning of 01/06 we informed the front desk that we got food poison, they transfer our to a local Pharmacy to take care of us. We spend the whole day on bed and No one came to room the apologized or see if need anything. We had to eat soup from the same restaurant all day and they charge us for all the food and for the room service. No one took responsibility for what happen. Rest waitress Jeimy was the only who call us and sent us some lemonade.
I was very disappointed with booking. com for booking my room without breakfast. Anytime I stay at this hotel, I always get breakfast included.
Floor, general, noize in the bar, air condition too cold, music to loud... Too expensive for the quality offered
good breakfast, friendly people
old funiture, mostly unusable, old and difficult safetybox
The staff was really nice and always ready to help u in any way possible. I enjoyed my stay very much , def will be back.
I love the restaurant and the staff, especially the ladies that clean the room.
I didn't like the bed and the night crew at the front desk. It seems like he was in a bad mood at gave us a hard time when exchanging our money.
The staff is very friendly. The wi-fi is great. The food at the restaurant was outstanding.
The beds were not comfortable at all. Very squeeky at that. The pool area closed rather early for a hotel on an island.
I really enjoy the vent. And Kelvin was friendly and nice
They need more people who can speak English, that all
friendly staff, good and safe location
very noisy at the VENT-Club on the roof-top, very strange ppl. from outside the hotel are using it. Rooms are a little outdated and need maintenance
I had a wonderful stay the staff was great, facilities very clean and breakfast was delicious. Good value.
Rooftop food service is slow and the gym is outdated.
The location is perfect, close to some of the best stores and malls in Santo Domingo. Very quiet and clean hotel the pool located on the roof top of the hotel is just absolutely gorgeous. Great for parties and enjoy the view of the city.
The hotel is really comfortable and had everything I could wish: good beds and towels, tv, wifi and spacious rooms. Pool was small but sufficient and the pool area was really cool and I enjoyed it a lot. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I have ever seen and tasted. In overall, really good value for the money.
The location is far away from beach and centrum,although there are shopping malls and restaurants nearby.
I love this hotel! Everyone that works here is a class act. Dahiany, at the front desk is absolutely great. I'm a gym rat and the Body Shop gym is the best in the country, better than most in the states. The food is great, service excellent... the rooms aren't five star but plenty of hot water, wifi and a comfortable bed. The savings is more than worth it. Can't wait to get back to the BQ!
Nothing, everything was great and I have traveled all over. The big name hotels, from what I hear, have little hot water and spotty wifi. If you don't like this place, you probably complain about everything, haha!!
nice pool on the roof top friendly staff
should be renovated

Speaking June 2 at an event hosted by Bisnow and sponsored by Accenture, Chopra said the government has the power to set the market conditions that can shape the creative power of the private sector.
By "set market conditions," Chopra said he meant things such as incentive payments to health care providers that can demonstrate "meaningful use" of electronic health record technologies. By making the policy decision that the EHR could be composed of multiple systems working together and not be limited to comprehensive solutions from single vendors, there are "not a half-dozen vendors, but 500" whose products can be useful, he added.

The Obama administration is using a number of strategies to inspire the private sector to create new technologies and solutions, Chopra said. "We've shifted the default setting from top-down change models to the notion of bottom-up change," he said.
Another opportunity for companies in health care technology comes from the changes in payment structure that the health care reform law will bring as it goes into effect over the next several years, Chopra said.
"Today, [doctors] get paid for volume," he said. "If you see a patient, you get paid. If you avoid the need to see a physician or go to the hospital, there's a disincentive for that."
Under such a structure, technology to aid physician scheduling and billing finds a robust market, he said. "The maturity of the IT market for products that actually help you treat patients better is weak."
But under the new approach on the horizon, volume will be less important while quality of care and avoiding physician visits when a phone call or secure e-mail will suffice will become more prominent measures, Chopra said.
However, Alan Merten, president of George Mason University and another member of the panel discussion, took issue with Chopra's rosy outlook.
"I can't be optimistic about what you're saying," Merten said. "If you look at all the places technology has made a difference, health is far behind. After all these years of screwing up – that's the technical term – why are you going to do it right now?"
Chopra contended that the bottom-up approach, drawing on the creativity and insight of thousands of technology professionals and other innovators, would be more likely to lead to real advances than the top-down models of the past.

"Chopra said the government has the power to set the market conditions that can shape the creative power of the private sector." Government forays into the market always result in changes in the private sector... as the private sector creatively seeks to ensure profits in spite of the government. Better to keep government OUT of the market, thus letting market creativity be used to figure out how to serve more customers, and thereby profit!

Hours before he and his older brother exchanged fire with police in Massachusetts, Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote to his mother that he expected to die.
According to court records, Tsarnaev "sent an email to his mother in which he told her he loved her and ended with, 'Inshallah [i.e. God willing] if I don't see you in this life I will see you in the akhira [i.e. afterlife].'"
Prosecutors inserted the email into a court document that challenges Tsarnaev's motion suppress evidence collected from his computer and from the family's apartment on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, Mass.
ABC NEWS FULL COVERAGE: Boston Marathon Bombing
Federal prosecutors said that sending that email, and taking certain other actions in the hours before he was caught, indicates "that when Tsarnaev left the Norfolk Street apartment on April 18, he did not expect to return alive, and thus abandoned his expectation of privacy in everything left behind."
Defense attorneys had argued prosecutors were over-broad and vague when they applied to search the apartment. They also argued Tsarnaev had a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Prosecutors said Tsarnaev moved out of the apartment in 2011 and into a dorm room at UMass-Dartmouth and therefore could no longer claim what belongings of his were left should have been kept from the authorities.
Prosecutors also reiterated that Tsarnaev had sent a friend a text message saying "'if y[o]u want y[o]u can go to my room and take what's there,' indicating that he was abandoning his possessions."
Three people died, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 260 were injured in the dual bombings at the Boston Marathon last April. Dzhokhar's older brother and alleged co-conspirator, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in the police shootout days after the blast. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges related to the bombing and to the murder of an MIT police officer.

Big Aluminum pots, probably really weak handles, but $10 for a 10 gallon pot?!? $24 for a 13 gallon pot?!? Looks like a good deal to me, until I can afford to get a keggle set-up Edit: I meant $20 for the 10 gal...
Now ya done opened the debate can. Some people believe there is a link to aluminum pots and Alzheimers. Which makes some kind of sense, but there are plenty of notes and studies that say otherwise. So I would say use it. I did for a while... here's the deal: When people saw me using my pot, the same pot that I had created them hundreds of batches of tasty beer, they freaked out. Yep, freakout out so much I stopped using my trusty old 10 gallon. But hey they make a killer HLT though. If you use one, stay in the closet.
You mean $20 for the 10 gallon, right?? I would check the thickness of them. If they're not 4mm thick (wall) then I'd pass. Also check to see how strong the handles are, and are held onto the sides. Do you have a way to get that much wort up to a boil?
If you're not carrying it around full of liquid, and you're sure you can boil that much volume, why not. Just temporary, don't expect it to last long, and definitely vigorously boil water in it for a good half hour before first use. Never clean it with oxy clean or put star-san in it. LEave that discolored oxide layer on it, just clean with hot water and a mild scrubbie. Aluminum is fine, but again, those pots aren't made to last. But for $20?? Save your pennies in the meantime though. My first kettles were 8g aluminum from instawares.com for about $30something shipped. Still use one for the HLT. 4mm thickness.
_________________________________Skal! Den Faaborg Bryggeri
IF it's 4mm thick walls, then it should last a good long time. The better ones are made for use in restaurants where they're getting the snot beat out of them on a daily basis. I agree that you'll need to boil as much water in it as possible, before you use it for the first time. This will build up the oxide (aluminum oxide) layer that will be a barrier between the aluminum pot and your wort. Leave it intact and all will be very well. BTW, I used an aluminum kettle (converted the pot into a kettle myself) that was 4mm thick walls. I've moved on to bigger, and brighter (stainless) things (keggles) but my brew-buddy is still using it. I expect it to last for many years, and hundreds (if not more) of batches.
Do a quick search for tamale pot and see what comes up. There is a thread that was started in the last couple days by someone using one of those pots. Others chimed in. The pot warps, bows and dances on the stove because it's not well made, or not made well for the use that you want to do. Probably made very well for what it's sold as. There is a reason it's so cheap. It does the job of boiling a small amount of water to steam those awesome little tamale's great, but based on reports of guys using them it doesn't hold up to the heat of a heavy boil for extended periods of time. Found the thread!http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/danc...le-pot-368679/

Sandton is an extremely affluent suburb of Johannesburg, the financial and commercial hub of South Africa. It is essentially the wealthiest suburb of the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in Southern Africa. Most of its tourism though is driven by business travellers. Consequently, the majority of accommodation in Sandton comes in the form of shiny 5 star hotels.
If a place could be materialistic, that is exactly how one might describe this suburb. Much of Sandtons identity lies in the fact that it is not only the business capital of South Africa, but also the shopping capital. The Sandton City mall, at 144 000 meters squared, is the second largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere and caters to all the tastes and emotional shopping whims one can imagine.
Nelson Mandela Square is a significant aspect of Sandton Mall, situated just outside it. The square is a cosmopolitan meeting point for local and international business people, as well as house-wives and local celebrities, who are overlooked by a large statue of South Africas darling, Madiba. The square is lined with trendy sidewalk cafes and some of South Africas finest restaurants. It is in fact an excellent spot to pass a few hours.
Perhaps the most significant establishment in the Sandton area is the Sandton Convention Centre, an asset with international standards. The convention centre sees thousands, even millions, of delegates pass through its doors every year, making it the lifeblood of Sandton tourism.
For the business traveller who likes a little recreation thrown in, numerous tours can be arranged from Sandton, arguably the most enlightening being the township tour of Alexandra, a very poor township situated less than 10 kilometres from Sandton.
As you might imagine, Sandton accommodation makes for a very convenient stay in Johannesburg. There are tuk-tuks to take you around the suburb and cab services, to get you further afield. The airport is 40 kilometres away and numerous Joburg and Gauteng attractions are easily accessible.
If you are looking for a convenient base from which to explore Johannesburg, Sandton accommodation is a very good option.

FourwaysI've slept at quite a number of locations in Jhb but I think I'm inlove with Fourways, its very upmarket and it is close to coffee shops and to the Mall, because of this convenience you don't even have to drive to access these areas, you can just walk and I love it.. - Mlamli Baliso

I have always loved words and my interest in writing was initially expressed in penning song-lyrics. This formulated a desire to create one-man shows and plays.
My first venture in this sphere was a spectacular show called "A Date With Destiny" which re-invented the great tradition of Vaudeville and Variety.
In 1987 I was planning a trek in Nepal. I had never been interested in photography before but just before I embarked on my journey an instinct told me to get a camera.
Singer/ Songwriter
Parallel to my work as an actor I have had a passion for music. I play the guitar and specialise in the Blues, singing my own songs.
My name is TIM THOMAS and they tell me that I am one of nature's enthusiasts. I am ruled by some powerful passions. I love the theatre, music, travel, dance, photography and there is the abiding theme of anthropology underlying it all. My professional life has been spent in the pursuit of these great loves and I have made a living as an actor, singer, photographer and writer.
