I've done it again. I fell off the wagon, rolled into the ditch, down the hill and into a canyon. My weight is at 190. Wow, how could I let myself go that far into the abyss. I need to hitch up the hoist and pull myself up out of the canyon and back up the hill. Then onto the road and SP wagon. I haven't been this big since 2010 and I was doing so well until this summer. I need to learn to love myself again as I was pretty disgusted with my body when the breast cancer diagnosis came in August. Even my oncologist said to me "You have done everything right and still got cancer." So I am thinking why bother to take care of myself and fell into a eating binge for several months. Now I am at 190. I gained almost 40 pounds in 4 months. Oh if I could only lose like I can gain. I left my exercise program in the dust and now need to start all over with that too. But this is the first day of the rest of my life and now that I hit bottom again all I can do is go up.

Hi Lorna, So good to see you writing a blog, and sorting out your feelings. It's tough after what you've gone through. I agree, it's incredible how quickly we can gain. Why oh why can't we get rid of it just as quickly, I don't know. Wish I had an answer.
I, too, hit 190 in late 2010, and am a shorty like you. Unlike you though, I keep stalling in the 180's and 170's and never have been able to get out of that rut. I'm glad you were able to get down for awhile at least, that was good. I still believe in my heart that I can, and I know you can too, and we will maintain and not gain it back.
and I really mean that.
People keep writing about loving ourselves, and I always thought I did, but I guess way down deep I must feel I don't deserve to be a normal weight. I don't know why, because I was a normal weight most of my life, until I was in my 40's and started yo-yoing, and then in my late 40's I had a medical condition and like you, literally gained at the rate of 10 lbs a month until I tapered off at about 177. (from 127) Then I would creep up into the 180's and back down again into the 170's. Then I had another gain up to 190 in late 2010. That freaked me out, and I've managed to stay under that, but just barely. It's like I've had a mental block for years.
I would go on/off Spark People and this last time I came back on, in late Sept. a little over a month ago, I decided that no matter what the scale says, I'm still going to stay on here. It's like I was embaressed that my weight didn't go down, and I didn't deserve to be on here with everyone else. Oh I know there are thousands of people struggling, but I felt conspicuous. Now I know better and will stay on and keep trying. I keep praying for a turning point.
Lorna, God Bless you, little one. You are one of the sweetest people on here. Keep trying and keep in touch. Good friends like you are few and far between. I really care what happens. Go light on yourself and ease back into things.
PS we're going out of town on Mon. and won't be back for almost a month, so I won't be on here as much, but I'll still be on when I can. Save a seat on the bus for me.

Lorna - ain't that the truth, if only any of us could lose like we can gain! You were hit with a scary diagnosis, but I know you will get back on track. You can do this!

Alstom and its two Chinese joint ventures were awarded two contracts by Beijing MTR Construction Administration Corp. to provide both advanced traction and signaling systems for the new Line 6 of the Beijing metro.
Beijing Line 6, which represents the longest metro line in construction in Beijing, runs through the city, starting from Wuluju in the West to Tongzhou New Town in the East. The entry into commercial service of Beijing Line 6 Phase 1 is planned in 2012.
The first joint venture, Shanghai Alstom Transport Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (SATEE), will provide a traction system with the latest technology named OPTONIX for the 512 metro cars (64 8-car train set).
OPTONIX, specially designed and developed by Alstom for the Chinese market, reduces travel time and increases frequency of the train operation. Furthermore, it allows the train to consume 30 percent less energy than a conventional metro, according to the company.
In parallel, the second joint venture, CASCO, will deliver an advanced train control and signaling system to Beijing Line 6. The metro line 6 will be equipped with the Urbalis Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) system that integrates network communications with data transmission by radio.
Already implemented on Line 2, Alstom's Urbalis CBTC system reduces the intervals between trains in order to ensure passenger traffic of over one million passengers per day.
The 68-year old streetcar was acquired as part of a trade with United Transportation Corporation (UTC)/Rail Air Sources (RAS) in exchange for two Siemens U-2 light rail vehicles that were phased out of the MTS fleet.
HART's property acquisitions range in price from $22,304 to about $6 million. In June, HART said that it has to acquire 213 properties for the project, and that it had an acquisition budget of $222 million.
The new production facility will serve the Brazilian market and, in a near future, the Latin America region where a number of new tramway projects are emerging. When fully operational, the facility will employ around 150 people.
The first phase of the effort calls upon local law enforcement agencies to show a greater presence at grade crossings, issue citations to drivers that violate rules of the road at crossings and consider rapid implementation of best practices for grade crossing safety.
The first phase of the plan would construct a four-mile section elevated guideway above a section of abandoned railroad tracks. The first section of the elevated railway could connect Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research campus with downtown Greenville.

Comments Thread For: Roach: Danny Garcia May Get Knocked Out Early
Shortly after the Las Vegas grand arrival of one of his star fighters, Amir Khan, I had a few words with four-time trainer of the year Freddie Roach inside of the main lobby of the Mandalay Bay.
On Saturday night, Khan will be meeting upstart WBC champion Danny Garcia in an HBO-televised attraction, yet it is a fight that wasnt expected. Having lost to Lamont Peterson by split-decision last December, Khan was eyeing a May 19th rematch with the Washington, D.C. native. The second encounter wasnt meant to be, however, as Peterson was found to have been tested positive for synthetic testosterone in early May, with the fight being scrapped days later.

Kabuto first appeared in the chuunin exam as a leaf student who was extremely weak but extremely smart. Though it was soon short lived when he was shown as a hidden spy of the Sound village. Kabuto is not weak but extremely strong and is able to hold his own to Kakashi and some of the best ninjas.
Kabuto is Orochimaru's right hand man and does only the most difficult missions for the sound because he is the only one Orochimaru can slightly trust. Kabuto rarely questions anything ordered by Orochimaru and follows up every command.
Kabuto was found by a medical team by the leaf at a young age and was not really good at any particular genre of fighting but as shown in the series he is extremely talented in tactics and medical jutsu. So much so that he was able to deal with Tsunade while his body movement was reverted.
Kabuto is a very strong ninja for the sound and is the second in command of the operations that happen in the Sound village. He takes care of all the arrangements for Orochimaru while his arms were unable to move. Kabuto is a extremely strong ninja but some have rumored that he is part of the Akatsuki.

A behind the scenes look at how merchants work in Fortis Rex and merchant locations in the City Of Tarra, plus some new pics of enemies and some background on them.
Jul 22, 2014 NewsThanks! :) We can't wait to release the Beta! Might take a while though, we're moving over to Unreal Engine 4, and it's already looking way more realistic! :)
I also only got Desura for this game. Does not look like recruiting is enable yet but I was wondering if enemies will respawn over time?
Also think that the enemies needs a longer agro range. To easy to go around them if you wanted to.
Comeing along nicely!
Hi! Yes recruiting is enabled, but highly simplified for the Second Alpha, the villages on either side of Tarra(the city with the big castle) have village elders that you can ask for more troops. As of now enemies don't respawn, but we were going to add respawning of enemies for the next version.
Great idea about the agro range! Yea we were trying to figure out a good way to balance difficulty with player speed. The next version will probably have more realistic move speed based on the player army content, like if you have low morale peasants, your move speed will be super slow and enemies can catch you. If you have mounted knights with high morale you'll be able to outrun just about every enemy. Enemies are going to have different move speeds too, based on army content and morale(probably).
Thanks for your comment! :) :) :)

About The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival
30th Annual Folk Harbour Festival
August 6-9, 2015
Folk Steps Conference - August 6th, 2015
Finding Folk Harbour
Folk Harbour is as much a concept… a feeling… as a place, a time or a festival. Born from a shared passion for music, it's about finding yourself immersed for a few short days in a happening where your senses are fed with musical delights, scenic beauty and shared experiences.
The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival brings the best in traditional and contemporary folk music to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. We are Nova Scotia's longest-running folk festival and have showcased great Nova Scotian, Canadian and international talent during our 25 years. We are proud to have introduced many of the Maritimes' best-loved musicians to a wider audience on our stages.
Lunenburg literally bursts at the seams with music and Festival goers during the four days of Folk Harbour. With a long history of good weather (knock wood), fantastic music and unmatched atmosphere, music lovers of all ages are in for non-stop entertainment.
The Festival officially opens on Thursday with a full day music conference: Folk Steps, usually held in the Zion Lutheran Church, which allows music lovers to examine a theme with experts in that genre of music.
Thursday afternoon, select performers appear at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic to entertain their paid visitors and in a private performance at the Harbour View Haven seniors residence on Blockhouse Hill.
The Festival schedule really kicks into high gear on the Thursday evening with the first Mainstage Concert; and the daily cycle begins…
In the mornings the Town's wonderful historic churches and halls come alive with workshops in dance and singing as well as youth music programs and The Alma Houston Talks for more academic-minded folk. Sunday morning everyone comes together at the Mainstage tent for the Festival's most popular event — our Gospel Concert.
Every afternoon festival-goers have another choice to make — whether to stay put at one of our spectacular stage locations: The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic wharf, The Lunenburg Heritage Society Bandstand, St. John's Anglican Church or the Zion Lutheran Church — or drop by one of the hands-on workshops taking place in the Central United Church Hall. For the kids, the Children's Stage in the Town Parade Square park offers hands-on arts and crafts while they are surrounded by music from the bandstand featuring emerging talent, local musicians as well as some of our contract performers.
In the evening all the action moves to the big white tent atop Blockhouse Hill that holds our Canadian Heritage Mainstage. Breathtaking vistas of Lunenburg's front and back harbours, stiff maritime breezes and wonderful music combine to produce a magical experience for audience and performers alike.
And that's why, once you've found us, like most folks, you'll want to return to a place called Folk Harbour!

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- The 2011 Adult Video News nominations have been announced, and Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that the company and the lines distributed by it has received an impressive collection of high-profile accolades from the respected trade publication. The majority of the nominations speak to the variety and quality of Wicked's in-house productions, while the rest recognize the excellence of outside lines like Video Marc Dorcel, JoyBear Pictures, Abby Winters, and Playgirl. Almost all of the famed Wicked Girls (Stormy Daniels, jessica drake, Kaylani Lei, Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, and Lupe Fuentes) and nearly twenty of the company's in-house productions received major nominations, with director Brad Armstrong's explosive motorcycle adventure Speed leading the way with fifteen. Writer/director/performer jessica drake's 3 Days in June followed with six nominations, while writer/director/actress Stormy Daniels Tori Black vehicle Whatever it Takes earned five. The year also saw Wicked affirming its status as one of the industrys top creator of adult comedies, with no less than five titles - Couples Camp, Partly Stormy, Sex Therapy, the Vow and What Went Wrong - gracing the Best Sex Comedy category. Already an AVN and XBIZ Editors Choice, Speed emerged as one of the years most highly regarded titles, earning recognition in such diverse categories as Best Feature, Best Director - Feature, Best Videography (Francois Clousot, Jake Jacobs, and Mark Nicholson), Best Art Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress (Kirsten Price), Best Supporting Actor (Spyder Jonez), Best Packaging Innovation, and Best Group Sex Scene (Kaylani Lei, jessica drake, Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, Misty Stone, Chanel Preston, Kayme Kai, Tory Lane, Briana Blair, Mick Blue, Dale DaBone, Barrett Blade, Eric Masterson, Marcus London, Sascha and Bill Bailey). Armstrong also earned a place in the Director of the Year (Body of Work) category, as well a Best Actor nomination for 4SOME. A sterling example of jessica drakes blossoming skills as a filmmaker, 3 Days in June received accolades in several major categories, including Best Feature, Best Actress (jessica drake), Best Actor (Dane Cross), Best Solo Sex Scene (jessica drake), Best Group Sex Scene, and Best Screenplay Original (jessica drake). Stormy Daniels' provocative Whatever it Takes earned a similarly impressive collection of nominations, including Best Feature, Best Director Feature (Stormy Daniels), Best Actress (Tori Black), Best Original Screenplay (Stormy Daniels), and Best Double Penetration Sex Scene (Mackenzee Pierce, Billy Glide, and Tj Cummings). The 2011 nominations also saw veteran contract director Jonathan Morgan exercising his penchant for hardcore humor, with both What Went Wrong and Couples Camp coming on strong in the Best Sex Comedy category. Three other comedies, Partly Stormy and Sex Therapy from Stormy Daniels and Barrett Blades the Vow, earned nominations in the category as well. Another director with a long history at Wicked, Mark Stone, received a trio of impressive nominations, including Best Young Girl release for Reform School Girls 6, Best Interracial release for Bet On Black, and Best Ethnic-Themed release - Asian for Asian Eyes. While many of Ms. Daniels' nominations spoke to the depth of her talent as a writer and director, her iconic status as a performer was rewarded with a Best Actress nomination for Partly Stormy, while her ongoing mainstream success was acknowledged in the Crossover Star of the Year category. The outside lines distributed by Wicked performed particularly well, with France's Video Marc Dorcel securing an impressive seven nominations, and UK based JoyBear Pictures earning four. The popular all-girl line Abby Winters had a similar showing, receiving three nominations, and titles from Playgirl and Zb Ventures were acknowledged as well. Having received nominations for excellence in the many areas of direction, performance, eroticism and design, Wicked President and Owner Steve Orenstein (who'll be entering the AVN Hall of Fame - Founder's Branch in 2011), is justifiably proud of his company's performance. "I'm very happy to see the depth of our nominations this year. From Brad Armstrong's big-budget epic Speed, to the strong acknowledgment of the work performed both in front of and behind the camera by jessica drake and Stormy Daniels. I'm equally pleased that all the lines we distribute were recognized as well. We choose lines to distribute as carefully as we choose what Wicked produces." From action to comedy, from sprawling epics to intimate couples affairs, Wicked Pictures is built for speed. A complete list of 2011 nominations is below. 2011 AVN Awards Nominations - Wicked Pictures -3 Days in June Best Feature Best Screenplay jessica drake Best Actor Dane Cross Best Actress jessica drake Best Group Sex Scene - Dana Dearmond, Mallory Rae Murphy, Tj Cummings and Kris Slater Best Solo Sex Scene, jessica drake -4SOME Best Actor, Brad Armstrong -Speed Best Feature Best Director Feature, Brad Armstrong Best Art Direction Best Editing, Scott Allen Best Screenplay, Brad Armstrong Best Videography Francois Clousot, Jake Jacobs, and Mark Nicholson Best Supporting Actress, Kirsten Price Best Supporting Actor, Spyder Jonez Best All-Girl Group Scene Sandee Westgate, Angie Savage, Sophia Santi & Alektra Blue Best Group Sex Scene Kaylani Lei, Misty Stone, jessica drake, Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, Chanel Preston, Kayme Kai, Tory Lane, Briana Blair, Mick Blue, Dale Dabone, Barrett Blade, Eric Masterson, Marcus London, Sascha & Bill Bailey Best Three-Way Sex Scene Tori Black, jessica drake & Manuel Ferrara Best DVD Extras Best DVD Menus Best Packaging Innovation Best Overall Marketing Campaign-Individual Project Speed -Whatever it Takes Best Feature Best Screenplay, Stormy Daniels Best Director Feature, Stormy Daniels Best Actress, Tori Black Best Double Penetration Sex Scene Mackenzee Pierce, Tj Cummings, & Billy Glide -Couples Camp Best Sex Comedy Best Supporting Actor, Dane Cross Best Supporting Actress, [redacted] -Wicked Games Best Vignette release Best Oral Sex Scene, jessica drake & Angelina Ashe -What Went Wrong Best Sex Comedy -Sex Therapy Best Sex Comedy -The Vow Best Sex Comedy -Partly Stormy Best Sex Comedy Best Actress, Stormy Daniels -Lust Best All-Girl Three-Way Sex Scene Alektra Blue, Asa Akira, Breanne Benson -Trash Talk Best Original Song, "Give it to me" by Dial 7 -Asian Eyes Best Ethnic-Themed release-Asian -Bet On Black Best Interracial release -Reform School Girls #6 Best Young Girl release -Texass Tales Best Big Butt release -The Watcher Best Packaging -Crossover Star of the Year Stormy Daniels -Director of the Year (Body of Work) Brad Armstrong -Best Online Marketing Campaign-Company Image, Wickedsales.com -Best Overall Marketing Campaign-Company Image, Wicked Pictures -Best Overall Marketing Campaign-Individual Project, Wicked Pictures AEE Palms Campaign -Hall of Fame (Founders Branch), Steve Orenstein 2011 AVN Nominations - Lines Distributed by Wicked Pictures -Abby Winters Best All-Girl Series, Intimate Moments Best Solo release, Girls Alone Best Membership Site, AbbyWinters.com -Playgirl Best Vignette Series, Playgirl Presents -JoyBear Pictures Best Foreign Feature, the London Sex Project Best Foreign Feature, Street Heat Best Director-Foreign Feature, Oliver McDowell, the London Sex Project Best Director-Foreign Feature, Justin Ribeiro Dos Santos, Street Heat -Video Marc Dorcel Best Foreign All-Sex release, Summer of My 19th Year Best Foreign All-Sex Series, Russian Institute Best Foreign Feature, Hot Winter Rendezvous Best Foreign Feature, Naughty Nanny Diaries Best Director-Foreign Feature, Herve Bodilis, Hot Winter Rendezvous Best Director-Foreign Feature, Philippe Soine, Naughty Nanny Diaries Best Director-Foreign Non-Feature, Herve Bodilis, Summer of My 19th Year. -Zb Ventures Clever Title of the Year, Tiger's Got Wood For more, please visit www.wicked.com

At the moment I'm a bit obsessed with Justin's nut butter and its cute packaging. I've only tried a couple of flavors, but so far am a huge fan of the maple almond butter... so yummy.

Municipal Added Value through Solar Power Systems in the City of Freiburg
Received: 29 February 2012 / Revised: 5 April 2012 / Accepted: 5 April 2012 / Published: 2 May 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Changing the Energy System to Renewable Energy Self-Sufficiency (RESS) - Selected Papers from the RESS Conference, 15-16 September 2011, Freiburg, Germany)
Abstract: The transformation of the conventional energy system towards renewable energies has entailed an increasing decentralization of energy generation in Germany, as the production units are smaller and draw on regional potentials. This can result in positive socio-economic effects in regions where the potential is exploited. The focus of this paper lies on evaluating existing methods and developing new ones, which can be used to determine local added value through renewable energy systems. The methods were required to cover direct as well as induced municipal added value effects and to include all steps of the examined value chain. A combination of methods was tested in a case study for the solar power system value chain in the city of Freiburg (ca. 220,000 inhabitants). The added value through this sector in the year 2009 was calculated at 30.8 million euros through direct effects and 6.2 million euros through induced effects. This total municipal added value of 37 million euros can be converted into roughly 1,500 jobs within the city boundaries. Based on some conservative assumptions, these numbers should be considered as minimum values.

The Three Tinters uses automotive window films that are engineered to enhance your vehicle's appearance, provide the performance you demand, and protect your investment. Known for their quality, color stability, and patented scratch-resistant coating, The Three Tinters films are durable and virtually maintenance free. Auto Window Glass Tinting Windscreens / Windshields - Atlanta GA A cooler interior starts at your windscreen! These technologically advanced films offer extraordinary level of protection from infrared and ultraviolet rays.
Protect What Matters Most The Three Tinters safety and security film holds shattered glass in place - reducing the likelihood of personal injury in an accident and deterring smash and grab theft. Why Do I Need Auto Window Tintingin Atlanta GA? There are many benefits to having your car windows tinted. Auto window/glass tinting can provide up to 99% U.V. Ray protection from the sun. Here are a few other advantages you gain from having high-quality car window/glass tinting applied to your vehicle: 1. Auto Window Tinting protects your interior upholstery from fading or cracking, and your dashboard if film is applied to the windshield. 2. Auto Window Tinting allows a significant amount of heat to be reflected away from your car's interior, reducing strain on your air conditioner. 3. Auto Window Tinting helps glare reduction while enhancing your cars appearance. 4. Auto Window Tinting can deter burglars, and also holds shattered glass together in case of an accident. The Three Tinters offers Car Window Tinting in these areas:
Years ago...if you wanted your auto to be a different color your only option was to have the entire thing completely repainted. This usually took weeks if not months at a regular body shop, would diminish the resale value of your vehicle, and would cost thousands of dollars! Fortunately there is another option. Using large sheets of 3-4 mills thick vinyl, The Three Tinters can custom wrap your entire vehicle in one of the many different colors we offer. As every car has a different shape, each automobile is like a game of chess where we strategize to minimize the amount of (or even eliminate when possible) seams in the vinyl to give your vehicle the best look possible. Why wrap? Do you own a growing business? Auto branding is an easy way to generate visibility and advertise to the general public without having to worry about costly & potentially ineffective print campaigns or not reaching your demographic.
The Three Tinters Window Tinting in Elite Class with 96% Groupon Customer Approval Rate for Auto Glass Tinting ATLANTA GA, - August 07, 2014 - The Three Tinters of the greater Atlanta GA announced today a 96% positive customer review ranking from Groupon users. The Three Tinters install high-quality car window tinting and flat glass tinting for businesses all around the Atlanta area. "A 96% positive customer review ranking puts us in the elite class," said Saeed Green, Manager of The Three Tinters. "This reflects our goal and our efforts to offer high-quality products and excellent craftsmanship. We treat all of our customers with a high level of respect and our intention is for every customer to leave our facility feeling they received a good deal. Groupon gave us great exposure, helping us grow our customer base." Read the full release.

iPhone App Helps You Get Sloshed Responsibly
At long last, I have finally found a third-party iPhone app that I'll use every day. It's a free app called Last Call, and it calculates your blood alcohol content based on how much you drink, what kind of booze you're chugging and how much you weigh. And here's the best part: If you surpass the legal BAC limit (e.g., 0.08 percent in the United States), there's a button to find a taxi or look up a directory of nearby DUI lawyers if you get pulled over.
I love it. I finally have a tool to help me measure — and test — my drinking limits. With that said, I'm off to the pub.

Very good
Hotel was clean and comfortable and in a good location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and good.
Although the breakfast room did get busy at times and we had to wait for a table.
Good place, nice old looking style.
Wifi connection was superslow and very unstable
Good location, U-Bahn station right around the corner. Easy parking at Karstadt for 12€/day
Paper thin walls, could hear the guy next door snoring! Seem to cater to school groups that are very noisy at night! A good nights sleep was almost impossible..........
Breakfast was good quality and plentiful. The hotel location was good.
My single room was a cupboard. Number 313 should be avoided at all costs. The carpet on that floor was in a very poor condition. WiFi in that cupboard was erratic. The hotel promises much but delivers little. Very disappointing.
Location, surprisingly comfortable and clean rooms, good breakfast, excellent wi-fi.
No elevator to 4th floor, narrow staircase to the top floor.
The room was so small under the cellar and was not as I had booked before.The staff said that it was some misunderstanding of the other staff (not himself) and no way to change .Finally ,after talk for a while they reduced money (17 euro from the total charge of 42 euro) to me which I had no choice to have new room or change place.It seem to me that this is a tricky business,they might turn y room to other guest for the more benefit.Very disappoint eventhough Germany is alway my best country to visit.. Bangkok Tourist...
Perfect location for shopping.
The reception of the hotel is on the 4th floor ??? Without elevator !!! Kiding me???
Price, location, supermarket pretty close, shopping area, good breakfast, U-bahn just 100m away. Highly recommend this hotel. Our price was 151€/3per/3days. Worth it!
Nothing really, would be better to have a more faster wi-fi, sometimes was hard to open google:)
Near public transportation, nice breakfast.
The access to the hotel is through two flight of stairs, hard to go up with luggage
Very big room and super clean,and with very quiet environment we got a good sleep,the breakfast was very nice,many kinds of options,will stay here again next time!
The only problem is the wifi,the room in the corner can hardly connect,I had to go to the place neared the gate of each floor.
Great location and lovely room. Excellent value all round.
Internet good
Poor customer service in greeting and communication. Very disinterested in communication. lights Went out for 30 mins with no electric person to help. Breakfast Very Basic but good eggs tho. Never Ever staying there again.
The location
The mattress The staff (unfriendly and unhelpful) Take you own shampoo and soap!!!
Location, cleanses, breakfast
Only public parking available also it is free from 10 pm till 9 am and on Sundays
Location next to Kudamm. The breakfast included in the price. I did a booking on a day of arrival, and everything went smoothly. The hotel is a bit worn-out, but there is some charm in this, as soon as it's clean there. For the price I paid, it was a very good experience. Весь персонал в отеле говорит по-русски. Удобно для русскоговорящих.
Not really good WiFi, there were issues with connection. There is a narrow spiral staircase to the upper floor, with no elevator. It might be a bit too hard to bring heavy luggage upstairs.
Excellent location in 5 min from U+S Zoo... station. Breakfast was ok but my previous visits I had a choice of different breads... but this time.
I was a little bit shocked of dirty carpet in public areas and wear out on the spiral steps with holes.... Also my room had a bit dirty carpet, room 218. But bathroom was extremely clean!!! I've stayed just for one night, it was very cheap - 35 euros with breakfast. I'm not visited this hotel about 2 years and it really needs renovation. I've recommended this hotel many times but not after my last visit. Sorry guys...
We esp liked the location, the rented bicycles, the christmas market and the breakfast was value for money. Room was cleaner than the first impression of the hotel leads to believe.
The first impression is very old and not clean at all. Stairs to the upper floor with the hotel rooms was very worn. Also the carpet in the room is very worn and stained.
Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Close to metro and train station
Inconsistent Wifi, often did not work

What Will Work For My New Year's Resolution Diet – Daily Dilemma [AUDIO]
Here is the "Daily Dilemma" from today, Friday, January 6th, 2012:
Here is the "Daily Dilemma" from today, Friday, January 6th, 2012:
Do you think employers should assist their workers in quitting cigarette smoking? Would you pay a higher premium for them to do so?
These two questions have already been answered by a plethora companies, as a significant portion of them, both large and small, offer this newly designed health benefit to their employees. The Washington Post reports, many of these companies have created a two-tier approach in assisting smokers wanting to quit.
As you make your New Year resolutions, we want to help you keep them.
Set aside that date of Saturday, January 21st. 1077 'GNA, Price Chopper and Best Fitness will be hosting a giant "Health, Fitness and Beauty Expo" from 10am-4pm at the Empire State Plaza.
Vending machines can be the handiest tool for a quick snack or something to drink, but it's not always a good choice for children.
After the holidays its always good to get on a diet, lose a few pound and learn to be healthy for your resolution. How about a great new hairstyle? We help you out there too.
Is obesity contagious? A study back in 2007 seemed to indicate that, saying we get it from our friends. To back that up, researchers highlighted data showing members of social groups were likely to have similar rates of obesity. New research, however, seems to be changing all this by finding that social interactions may have little impact on body weight.
A recall on cookie dough couldn't come at a worse time. While it's never good to eat raw cookie dough or lots of it, that's always been due to the possibility of salmonella.
New York - Be careful if you received an email with the subject line stating, "Uniform Traffic Ticket." The State Police says the email is a hoax and appears to be from the New York State Police or the Los Angeles Department of Motor Vehicles.
While most cases of lung cancer occur in smokers, nearly 20 percent of cases strike those who've never touched a cigarette. When it comes down to the facts, 32,000 nonsmoking Americans die from lung cancer every year — so many that experts say it's time to stop calling it "the smoker's disease."
The American Academy of Pediatrics says juice in general can be part of a good, healthy diet. However, fruit juice offers no nutritional benefit for babies under the age of six months.

Mountain Views Everywhere
Favorite thing: What we enjoyed most about Canmore was the view of the Rocky Mountains, they were so close. It was easy to drive up to the mountains as they are only minutes away. On the hills there are many beautiful homes and around Canmore there is considerable development of apartments, hopefully this development will be managed to prevent it spoiling the small town atmosphere.
Fondest memory: The rugges snow capped, unspoilt mountains will always remain in my memory.- Eco-Tourism

A Surprise in the scrub land
Favorite thing: After many encounters with large deer & cute ground squirrels it was a pleasant surprise to see one more on our return to Calgary. On the old road after looking at the little church I heard a tick tick tick sound. Curious as to this new noise I thought it was a snake & was ready to run. It turned out to be this little creature so tiny & just us for company.

10 tips for hiring right
2 Gather screening information. Use an employment form that includes a section for the applicant to describe relevant and transferable skills like cash handling, customer service, telephone etiquette, appointment scheduling, and computer knowledge. Also have applicants identify specific experience, licensure, or certification and any additional training or CE. Ask that they either complete this section or indicate that they don't possess these skills, even if they provide a resumé. 3 Require business employment references and call them. Ask only legal questions on the job application, in the interview with the candidate, and when you're talking to a reference. The career advice section of http://www.monster.com/ gives a good overview of legal and illegal interview questions. 4 Notice the applicant's e-mail address. For example, firstname.lastname@example.com indicate that the applicant's interests aren't consistent with your practice's work ethic. 5 Conduct criminal background checks and drug tests. These checks are important, and they're not expensive. 6 Note the candidate's punctuality and flexibility. Notice whether an applicant is flexible in arranging the interview—especially if he or she isn't currently employed. Does he or she arrive on time? 7 Appearances count. Jeans aren't interview-appropriate. Inappropriate interview attire is a red flag that this person uses poor judgment.
8 Ask open-ended questions. Ask the applicant to talk about real experiences. Remember to give him or her time to think. Be patient and allow for a thoughtful response to these questions: 9 Weigh the value of Social Web sites. Miller has mixed feelings about checking out a person's information on a Web site such as MySpace. "It feels a bit voyeuristic," she says. "But some employers do check them out, and it is public information." 10 Examine your own reputation. Make sure your practice is the kind of place where you'd like to work, and be the kind of boss you'd like to work for. The veterinary industry is a small community. Your practice's reputation is common knowledge. So build the kind of team everyone aspires to join. |

Guaro is the traditional liquor of Costa Rica. This simple cocktail marries it with lime in a Guaro Sour.
Baked artichokes have an amazing texture, a little chewy and a little silky. Simply the best way to enjoy them.
This Mushroom Stroganoff is just rich enough to satisfy. You won't even miss the beef!
Spring Lamb Soup with Dandelion & all the flavor of the season.
I've got a wee bit of the Irish! Rashers & Bangers & Eggs, Oh my!
Bloody Bourbon!
Anchovies, whether you love them or hate them, it might come as a surprise that they weren't born in an oily little tin can wrapped around a caper!
Uovo da Raviolo. A single ravioli, as big as the plate and dripping with egg.
Of course you can drink red wine with fish! You just need the right recipe. Spiced Salmon with braised shallots & sunchoke puree.
Salads needn't be boring even in the coldest months. This Spinach & Roast Pear Salad has Flank Steak seared inside and off the grill. Perfect in winter.
1-lb flour, 1-lb butter & 1-lb sugar. That's pound cake, right? Well if pound cake really were that simple, all pound cakes would all be the same.
Orange cauliflower is higher in some vitamins than white. It's golden hue also makes a great looking soup when paired with curried apples.
Egg noodles replace pasta sheets in this deconstructed lasagna. They bake up brown and crisp on the edges, but stay silky soft inside.
I'd call this Black Bean Chili with Chipotle Braised Pulled Pork. However, our Texan friends may disagree. Either way it's a "super bowl" of chili.
This Garlic & Rosemary Bread Soup is thickened with egg and based on a classic Italian recipe.
When I say baked cabbage, do you crinkle your nose? But if I say Cavolo Verza al Forno do you raise your hand and say– yes please?
These Seared Scallops are served with both the beets and the beet greens. Do you save your tops?
A mighty special Mac & Cheese with Mascarpone, Fontina and... wait for it... Lobster!
Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Peas and Herbs. Easy to make, easy to eat.
How to choose the bests seasonal avocados.
Classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, now that's (not really) Italian!
I find edamame completely addicting. Mine are sightly salty with the bite of chili powder, I just can't stop myself when they're set out before me.
Desserts may come in and out of fashion, but cookies are king!
Spicy Squid Salad. Yum. Marinated with lots of Asian flavors like shiitake, sesame, chili, lime & ginger. Double, triple, quadruple yum.
Ahi tuna sandwiches are delicious. But do you know how to choose safe and sustainable tuna fish?
Paprika Grilled Shrimp with Olive Oil Poached Baby Purple Potatoes and a wine pairing.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad is made from thinly sliced ribbons of raw Brussels sprouts in an intensely citrus vinaigrette with egg and almonds.
Crudo, ceviche, sashimi, tartare, poke, and tiradito. Different countries, different cultures– but it's all raw fish to me.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Truffle Fries. I don't think I gotta say much more.
Cinnamon Snaps. Reminiscent of an old-fashioned ginger snap. These cookies have the bright bite of cinnamon & a crisp chewy texture.
Luxurious, colorful and seasonal. Buratta with Fuyu Persimmon, Pomegranate and Mint.
Roasted pears with balsamic glaze and Manchego cheese offer a bit of rustic sophistication.
This Chocolate Pumpkin Tart with Pecan Crust is complexly rich & slightly spicy with a truffle-like texture. My inspiration was Mexican hot chocolate.
Ginger-Scented Carrots with Tangerine Zest & Chives

Cómpeta is a white village located in Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Nature Park. Nicknamed 'the cornice of the Costa del Sol', it is part of the Wine Tour in the region of Axarquía. The sierras and hills covered with vines make the most typical postcard of this village, whose natural areas are a haven for hikers and country travellers. The town streets show fine examples of popular architecture and hide a few quaint corners. The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the Shrines of San Antón and San Sebastián are the main tourist sights.
The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is in Plaza Almijara. Built in the sixteenth century, it is considered to be the cathedral of Axarquía. It was a nave and two aisles, separated by segmental arches. The most remarkable exterior element is the Neomudejar tower. The main façade was renovated after an earthquake shook Cómpeta in 1884. Inside there is a fine altar fresco by Francisco Hernández.
By the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the Walkway of Traditions shows Cómpeta's customs and traditions in a series of ceramic tiles and historical reviews. It leads to Plaza Almijara, where day labourers went to find a job in the fields. This square brimming with flowers is lined by nineteenth-century buildings and has a traditional Andalusian fountain.
The Shrine of San Antón Abad is an eighteenth-century chapel originally built outside town. It is dominated by an altarpiece featuring St Anthony the Abbot, an image of Jesus at the entrance to Jerusalem and one of Cómpeta's most popular Easter sculptures: La Borriquita.
In the upper part of town, known as 'El Barrio', there is the Shrine of San Sebastián. It could have been the first parish church established by Queen Isabella after the Moors were expelled. It holds an image of Cómpeta's patron saint, carried in a procession twice a year.
For popular architecture sights in this Axarquía Wine Tour town, the best thing to do is to explore the local streets and squares. The finest examples are the Hadrian's Mill Museum, the hanging houses and the wineries. The former headquarters of the Civil Guard in the nineteenth century now houses the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs.
The grape trough in Plaza de la Vendimia is the main venue on Wine Night, on 15 August, when grapes are trodden for everyone to see how traditional wines are made.

About the Manufacturer
In January 1950, Wilbur Berger established Monarch Glass on Rachel Street in Montreal, providing quality custom mirror and glasswork for both retail stores and the home. Understanding that there was more business with glass, Monarch started manufacturing and then diversified to importing mirrors and frames. In 1965 Monarch Glass got the very lucrative contract of manufacturing frames for the Expo and renamed itself Monarch Specialties Inc. During this time, they moved their operations to a larger location to increase their import business, while continuing to use their extensive glass knowledge to manufacture furniture such as glass top tables and TV stands. In 1997 they started importing from Asia offering over 1000 different items of furniture for virtually every room in the home. The addition of their import line has increased the Monarch catalog to the impressive size it is today, featuring bedroom, living room, accent, home office and many more categories. Monarch is a leader in the furniture import and distribution business. Their fashion forward designs, attention to quality and on-time customer service make them a value driven leader in the home furnishings industry.STYLE
