Jaromir Jagr time comes late - 0 Comments
No. 68 knows when to turn it up
Have you noticed a pattern with Jaromir Jagr? About how early in games he — how do we put this gently? — doesn't exactly play at a frenzied, lightning-fast pace. Given his status as an elder statesman of the game, he doesn't always rush from Point A to Point B in a great hurry.
But how late in games he suddenly becomes a hell of a player?
At age 41, it seems, Jagr knows how to conserve energy and have it available when a game is on the line.

All Evelyn Mays wants is to be the perfect bride in a size 8 Vera Wang wedding dress. Call her superficial, but when your boyfriend has turned up at your office and dramatically proposed—your green-with-envy colleagues watching in astonishment—there's a certain image to live up to!
Evie senses that her supposedly fast-track career is spiraling away from her, but at least there's something she can control: her Big Day. She just has to transform herself from a cuddly brunette into a svelte blonde .
But changing her appearance proves addictive; Evie develops a taste for experimenting: new friends new men? Her best friend, convinced that Mr. Right is just an urban legend anyway, eggs her on to have one last fling. Only, is Evie discovering her true self, or playing a game of chance that will end in trouble?
I can't believe I said yes.
Until that moment, thanks to a healthy aversion to mayonnaise and an inherited ability to hold my
liquor, I'd never suffered the indignity of being sick in public. Now, though, a gaggle of
thick-stockinged coworkers fretted outside the stall door, gossipful glee disguised as concern. They'd
seen me bolt for the bathroom. Now they waited forcompletion.
Please, just let me not puke.
But it was no use. My eyes filled with water, my knees hit the floor and the bowl became my
whole world. In my day-to-day life at Kendra White, I make a concerted effort not to put my
ass anywhere near these toilets. Now, my face was inside one.
An eternity passed, during which time I pretended I was in the Ally McBeal Unisex, so sterile,
so sleek, so much fun ... not at all like this abysmal pit, where ladies' unmentionables are strewn
all over the wet floor and the garbage can's always over-stuffed. Oh my God, is that a pubic
hair on the seat?
"Are you all right, Evelyn? Do you need someone to hold your hair back?" Pruscilla Cockburn,
my boss, wheezed from the other side.
"No, I'm fine," I gagged.
"Well then, get a hold of yourself, dear. It's only nerves! You're going to make a wonderful
wife. And what a fellow, that Bruce. He's waiting just outside the door, you know. Gosh! Have
you ever seen such a romantic proposal? Well I know I certainly haven't - not even on A
Wedding Story, and I've got every one on tape. I mean, can you imagine? Asking her at
work? In front of everyone ...?"
At this point, it was obvious she'd forgotten all about me, and was simply sharing with the
others. What a hag. I had just suffered the worst sort of humiliation imaginable, my love life
savagely ripped from the privacy of my own heart and put on display in front of everyone I hate
most in the world, and all Pruscilla could think about was what a great story it would make at
the coffee cart tomorrow morning. My entire life had just been turned upside down, and all they
could think about was how it affected them. I turned away from the bowl and saw four pairs of
feet, each in worse shoes than the next. Pruscilla's were stuffed like sausages into worn-out red
pumps. She always matches her shoes to her outfits - vast swaths of brightly colored fabric
that go under the guise of "caftans" and "capes" in plus-size stores. They should be illegal, as far
as I'm concerned.
"I'm okay. I'm coming out," I sniffed, opening the door.
I should have seen it coming. Bruce's proposal, I mean, not the puking.
That morning, for some reason, I read my horoscope, which is something I never do, seeing as
how I'm usually far too late to read the paper, or even bring it in, mind you. Plus, I hate touching
newsprint - it always ends up all over everything, especially my face. Not that I really believe
in astrology anyway. Except for maybe the page at the back of Cosmo, since it's a magazine,
not a newspaper, and because once I used the lucky numbers and won $125 in the lottery. But
I suppose that's numerology.
Anyway, that morning, my horoscope was dead-on, although I had no way of knowing it at the
time. The first sign that the planets were aligning against me occurred when I actually woke up
early. Well, not so much early as just not late. And Bruce, dear that he is, made us breakfast.
Three-egg cheese and mushroom omelets - with the yolks, of course; none of that whites-only
shit for us - and coffee. It was unusual for me to lose my dietary resolve so early in the day
(that usually doesn't happen until right before lunch), but I knew that since it was Friday anyway,
Monday would doubtlessly be a better time to start watching myself. Better not to spoil the
weekend, and all the wonderful meals that might have been.
"Evie, you wanna go out for dinner tonight, just us?" Bruce asked, knowing full well we almost
always go out Friday nights, just us. He probably thought he was being adorable for asking, but
to tell you the truth he was verging on smarmy. Or maybe it was just that he'd already asked me
three times. With our busy career-person schedules, Bruce doesn't always see as much of me
as he'd like, so I try to keep our weekly date sacred no matter what. That is, unless his mother,
Roberta - known as Bertie to those who love her, or at the very least to those who don't
despise her, since not too many people can claim more than that - decides that she wants to
have us over for watery soup and boiled potatoes, in which case we drop everything and run
directly to the Fulbrights' Greenwich, Connecticut compound for a meal that would make dinner
with the Royal Family seem like a hoedown.
I was at the very least glad to hear tonight would not be one of those nights. One Friday a
month with his mother is quite enough for me, though Bertie would have us over every week if I
didn't put my foot down. It's my theory that these so-called family nights are really just an
excuse for her to try and turn Bruce against me, since she obviously thinks I'm stopping him
from fulfilling his true potential. And who could blame me? Bertie sets the tone with interview-style
questions like "Bruce, do you feel that teaching second grade is a challenge for you,
intellectually speaking?" (A: "As you know, Mother, it's a school for gifted children, so yes - it
is a challenge"). Or perhaps a confusing zinger like, "Evelyn, does being Italo-American give
you an edge in the mail-order cosmetics industry?" (A: "Well, I'm only one half
Italian-American, Mrs. Fulbright, but no, I don't think it really makes a difference.")
Then we all sit back and enjoy the show while Bruce's wicked WASPy sisters, Brooke, Wendy
and, of course, Diana - each lovelier and thinner and perkier-breasted than the next - turn
the emasculation of their older brother into a spectator sport, while at the same time taking an
obvious mental inventory of every bite I manage to put in my mouth without gagging. By the end
of the night, I'm ready to kill, ready to shake his sweet old dad and say "Wake up! They've got
you by the balls, man! Get out now, while you've still got a good 20 years left!" But nobody
seems to notice any of it except me, and Bruce and I spend the train ride home fighting.
But we'll save all that for next Friday. Tonight, we're free.
"I was thinking Luna," Bruce continued. "I made reservations for nine."
He knows I love it there. Luna is where my parents had their first date, a blind date. It was
where they fell in love the second they laid eyes on each other. When I was little, and sad or not
feeling well, I begged my mom to tell me the story over and over, and she would always oblige,
sparing no details - what she was wearing, the food they ate, how my dad said she looked like
Elizabeth Taylor, only with brown eyes and a bigger butt. I tried to imagine them there, sitting
next to the steamy window on a dark winter night. Luna was also where they went to eat the
night I was conceived. It was the last time they did it before my dad died, although she left that
part out until I was a little older.
Bruce and I always save Luna for special occasions, never more than once or twice a year. And
walking around Little Italy makes us horny and couple-y feeling, so it's always a guaranteed
good time. There's something so nice about prancing around, arm in arm, flaunting our delirious
happiness to the droves of miserable Manhattan singletons out hunting in packs, or, even better,
those on obviously painful blind dates. It's like we're members of a private club of two, and it
reminds me how being a part of something, no matter how troubled or even depressing it may be at
times, is usually far superior to being a part of nothing.

I found that the main character was just too unrealistic in terms of her being so damn mean and awful. I know there are actual people who act this way in real life but the fact of the matter is, her character was just a bit much and how in the world could she be engaged with her being that damn mean???? I am not sure I would recommend this book to someone else to read but I did purchase it on the bargain table so it wasn't that bad in terms of price. I just think the author should really look into character traits/personalities because I have never met someone who is that mean and cruel in reality and yet, this is a character in fiction.Was this review helpful?

I found the main character of this book very hard to relate to or to even like. I think that was the biggest downfall of the book...she became so unlikeable.

I absolutely loved Evelyn Mays, the sassy and outrageous bride-to-be heroin of Slim Chance. While few of us would strive to be too much like her, I busted a gut laughing out loud at her biting but oblivious take on things. Once I started reading Slim Chance, I just couldn¿t put it down, as I just had to see what Evelyn did or said next. With her debut novel, Jackie Rose takes everything funny about weddings, family, in-laws, dieting and office jobs, and hands it to the reader on a silver platter. Red Dress Ink has once again shown that it has a real knack for discovering and debuting previously unknown talent, and for putting out fantastic books. Slim Chance is a hilariously sarcastic and refreshingly insightful story that shouldn¿t be missed!!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

After living with Bruce happily for six years in their Brooklyn apartment, Evelyn is totally unprepared when he barges into a meeting at her workplace and romantically proposes to her in front of her colleagues and bosses. After saying yes, she bursts into tears and runs into the ladies room where she promptly throws up. After she has time to think, she knows she wants to lose weight for the wedding even though Brick loves her exactly the way she is.<P> At a special sale, she buys a size eight Vera Wang wedding dress even though she wears a fourteen. She signs up at a gym and spends a fortune on a personal trainer. Losing weight has become such an obsession with her that it is all she thinks about and as a result her relationship with Bruce deteriorates. Strangely enough the more weight she loses, the more her connection with he beloved Bruce weakens until she finally does the one thing that could permanently push the man she truly loves into leaving her.<P> SLIM CHANCE is a funny, poignant and unusual relationship drama in which the reader simultaneously feels sorry for and angry with the heroine. Bruce is a decent intelligent person who (along with the audience) is totally bewildered by his fiancée's mood swings and obsessions to the point that he wonders (like readers) if this relationship need to end. Jackie Rose has written a realistic tale that is both believable and fun to read. This is an ideal beach novel.<P> Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Tanzania Game Parks
Hotels in Tanzania Game Parks
Rooms have prehistoric wall motifs in this eco-lodge built of river rock and covered in vines.
Secluded hotel with African interiors set in an acacia grove overlooking the plains.
Shingled tree houses in the bush; the only lodge within Lake Manyara National Park.
Doubles From $1,900, all-inclusive
The property sits deep in a 1,000-square-mile national park among Tanzania's central highlands. The look would appeal to anyone harboring fantasies of Arabian nights: arched bedouin tents, kilim rugs, Turkish brass lamps, Oriental throw pillows.
Dotting a tree-lined ridge in the Serengeti, the whimsical mushroom-shaped buildings of the Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge blend into their surroundings.
Series of brightly decorated circular buildings on a cliff overlooking a lake frequented by migrating birds.
Room to Book:
Tanzania's 17,000-square-mile Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest in the world. With a dozen postmodern dwellings on the palm-lined banks of the Rufji River, the Selous offers the chance to observe hippos and elephants from a riverboat.
Edwardian-style tented camps on a ridge in the western Serengeti.
A farmhouse and 20 cottages on a coffee plantation in the Ngorongoro Forest foothills.
Room to Book: No. 14, 15, and 16 are tucked into the forest.
South Africa's pioneering Singita tourism group revamped a pair of lavish lodges and a tented camp in the Grumeti Reserves of Serengeti National Park in 2009. The breakdown: Sabora Tented Camp is accessorized with antique mahogany chests, worn-leather folding chairs, and thick Persian rugs.

Sentenced to death for apostasy, Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim is now set to be freed in a few days. Her lawyers, however, say they will not believe it until they see her walk out of prison.

Keywords: Meriam Ibrahim, apostasay, freed, skepticism, Sudan
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The African nation of Sudan appeared to be bowing to international pressure to free the woman who enraged her society by marrying a Christian man. Now, a foreign ministry spokesman said that Meriam Ibrahim would be released and not face further charges.
Lawyers for the 27-year-old Ibrahim remain skeptical that she would be freed so quickly.
Starvation never takes a vacation --
"It's a statement to silence the international media," Elshareef Ali Mohammed says. "This is what the government does. We will not believe that she is being freed until she walks out of the prison.
"If they were to release her, the announcement would come from the appeal court, and not from the ministry of foreign affairs. But at least it shows our campaign to free Meriam is rattling them. We must keep up the pressure."
The day after Judge Abbas Khalifa handed down his ruling that Ibrahim would face death by hanging prompted global outrage and spurred an international campaign to free her. In Sudan, abandoning Islam is a crime punishable by death.
The mother of two, her husband Daniel Wani has dual American-Sudanese citizenship. He says that his wife was raised as a Christian. She says her Muslim father abandoned the family when she was a child.
Britain had been "putting intense pressure on the Sudanese government" to ensure her release.
"Hopefully the international outrage will push the Sudanese authorities into a situation where they feel they have to release Meriam," Mark Simmonds, the Foreign Office's Africa minister, said this past weekend.
Prime Minister David Cameron has added his voice to that of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, the United Nations and a series of American senators in condemning the sentence.
"The way she is being treated is barbaric and has no place in today's world," the Prime Minister said. "Religious freedom is an absolute, fundamental human right.
"I urge the government of Sudan to overturn the sentence and immediately provide appropriate support and medical care for her and her children."
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, backed a statement from the Christian Muslim Forum in Britain calling for the sentence to be rescinded. "I wholeheartedly endorse this call for the death sentence against Meriam to be dropped," he said.

The Pierre
2 E 61st St, New York City, NY, United States, 10021
- Recommended for:
- Business travellers, Couples, Culture vultures, Honeymooners, Romance
Expert review of The Pierre
This property on Fifth Avenue was in danger of the fate of some its grand dame counterparts; after years of not being renovated the hotel felt fusty and overpriced. But thanks to an injection of a cool $100 million from India's Taj property group, it has upped its game significantly and reopened last summer with 140 new rooms and a destination restaurant.
A perfect perch alongside Fifth Avenue right next to Central Park and close to shopping magnets like FAO Schwartz, Barney's and Tiffany & Co.
Kitted out with Turkish marble baths, flat screen televisions, Bose iPod docks and gargantuan comfy king size beds, the guest rooms have a great new style but some bemoan the lack of "soul". I think it depends on whether you like formality.
Check availability and compare prices for The Pierre
Quite grand with lots of upholstered sofas and an English drawing room feel.
One of the hotel's centerpieces is an outpost of London's Le Caprice restaurant. I haven't been yet but friends have enjoyed the power lunch scene and dishes like a delicious smoked haddock and poached quail egg tart and prime New York strip steak - although it's probably best to dine there if you are in town on an expense account.
A lovely Jiva spa.
So far service has been what you would expect from a five star hotel but again some bemoan the lack of soul.

ASIA/PHILIPPINES - Vigil for peace in Zamboanga: on September 21: government, Church, civil society will unite
Manila (Agenzia Fides) - A massive event and a vigil for peace for Zamboanga and the southern Philippines will see, on September 21, in the capital Manila, the Philippine government, the Catholic Church and several civil society organizations united. As reported to Fides Agency, the Philippines will dedicate, therefore, the celebration of the "International Day for Peace", proclaimed by the UN on September 21, in Zamboanga, where in past days violent clashes between the rebels of the "Moro National Liberation Front" and government troops took place.
The vigil, organized by the "Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process", OPAPP in southern Philippines, led by the Catholic Teresita Deles, was immediately extended to the Catholic Church, associations and to movements demanding and working for peace in the South of the archipelago. "Light a candle for peace in Zamboanga", reads the note, sent to Fides, which also cites the Biblical passage "I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me" (Phil 4:13), to remark that "peace is possible" and is a widespread desire. The event will conclude with a message of peace and a concert for peace.
Valeria Martano, responsible for Asia of the Community of St. Egidio - who will attend the vigil thanks to the members of the community in Manila - told Fides that "today in the Philippines, despite the difficulties and resistance, there is a desire for peace on both sides: government and rebel groups. Even in the Philippine society a culture of coexistence is becoming established. It is about setting an inclusive peace process, which takes into account all the components and the reality on the ground".
The Community of St. Egidio has officially joined the "International Contact Group", consisting today of four NGOs, which facilitate the negotiation sessions between the Philippine government and the rebels. The official negotiating sessions (one is in progress these days in Kuala Lumpur), besides institutional mediators (Malaysian government and organization of the Islamic Conference), there are also NGOs such as: "Henry Dunant Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, based in Switzerland; "Conciliation Resources", based in London; the "Muhammadhya", historical Indonesian Muslim formation.

In a medical emergency, the last thing we should be worried about is whether a hospital is going to put ideology ahead of the care we need to protect our lives and health. But if anti-choice lawmakers get their way, women and their loved ones will have to watch their backs.
The House is slated to vote this week on an unprecedented bill that would allow hospitals to let women die at their doorsteps. It sounds almost unbelievable — but utter disregard for the well-being of women who need abortion care has tragically reached new levels in the House.
The bill, the so-called "Protect Life Act" does anything but. Indeed, it gambles with women's lives. It could allow hospitals to ignore the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) which requires that patients in medical emergencies receive appropriate medical treatment, including abortion care if that's what's medically indicated.
The bill's proponents will first tell you that this is necessary to protect religiously affiliated hospitals, and then claim that there's no such thing as emergency abortion care (which begs the question of why they're so intent on overriding it). They're wrong on both fronts.
First, the denial of appropriate medical care to a woman suffering from emergency pregnancy complications can be devastating. The following story recorded in the American Journal of Public Health is just one example:
A woman with a condition that prevented her blood from clotting was in the process of miscarrying at a Catholic-owned hospital. According to her doctor, she was dying before his eyes, her eyes filling with blood. But even though her life was in danger, and the fetus had no chance of survival, the hospital wouldn't let the doctor treat her by terminating the pregnancy until the fetal heartbeat ceased of its own accord. She ended up in the I.C.U.
Second, even the Catholic Health Association, the leadership organization for Catholic hospitals — hardly an anti-religious or pro-choice lobby — has told Congress that they don't "believe that there is a need for the [refusal] section to apply to EMTALA." The very institutions on whose behalf this heinous provision has been proposed are saying "don't do this." But so far, the bill's sponsors remain unmoved.
Every representative considering voting for this bill should take a minute — just one — to think about the woman, mid-miscarriage, bleeding and scared out of her wits, who rushes to the nearest hospital only to be told by her doctor that he's not allowed to treat her. Think about that woman, and then tell us — what are you going to do?

Bottled Water, Bottled Hype Part 2

This is the second in a three-part series about bottled water. To read the first installment, click here. To read the third installment, click here.

Bottled water companies do an excellent job of marketing their product. Don't think I haven't fallen for it a time or two. I have. I do occasionally buy bottled water, and of course, there are times when water in a bottle is your only option. If I have a choice between a bottle of Coca Cola and a bottle of water, I'll go for the water (and recycle the bottle, if at all possible). And there are places, even in the US, in which the tap water is darn near undrinkable straight out of the tap. Recalling the taste of the tap water in my Brooklyn apartment still sends a little shudder down my spine.

In any case, seeing as how I live in a glass house with my occasional bottle of Evian, I'm not throwing stones at people who choose to drink bottled water every now and then (despite what some slightly challenged readers might think), even if bottled-water drinkers have access to clean and tasty tap water. But what about people who ONLY drink bottled water, even with access to clean municipal water? Why do they do it?

Isn't It Ironic? Don't You Think?

I'd argue that they're probably health-conscious people who have bought into an idea sold by the water bottling companies - that their clean, pure water cleanses your body and flushes out toxins. The irony of this is that people who are concerned about environmental toxins in their systems are only helping to perpetuate the pollution and enviromental degradation by buying bottled water, the production of which just makes everything worse off in the long run.

Or, in the case of my friend, some water drinkers are absolutely convinced that their tap water must be dirty.

Now, we all fall under the spell of marketing campaigns that sell us an image as well as a product (if I drink this beer, chicks in bikinis will dig me; if I wear this lipstick, I'm irresistible to men - and it won't kiss off on their collars!), but in this case, we're paying good money for something that we can get for so much cheaper. At least with things like deodorant or snazzy cars or jewelry, we are making purchases of good that we couldn't easily create or access on our own. I don't have the resources to make my own Chanel lipstick from scratch.

Creating Demand

Companies that bottle and sell water make all kinds of claims about the health benefits of drinking their products. A couple of great examples are Fiji Water, from the Fiji Islands, and Evian, which hails from France.

From SF Gate.com:

The Web site for Fiji Water (fijiwater.com) says the water "is drawn from an artesian aquifer, located at the very edge of a primitive rainforest, hundreds of miles away from the nearest continent." That distance, it adds, "is part of what makes us so much more pure and so much healthier than other bottled waters."

Grace Jeon, Fiji Water's vice president of marketing, said Fiji Water has a naturally high level of silica, which she said "helps strengthen your hair, skin and nails."

David Schardt, senior nutritionist at Washington's Center for Science in the Public Interest, said it appears that Fiji Water is taking liberties with the purported health benefits of silica.

"There are no studies showing that the silica in Fiji Water has any demonstrable effect on the human body," he said.

Fiji Water has done an amazing job, under the tutelage of some very smart owners, becoming a premier designer water. Fiji water is so coveted that Sarah Silverman has spoofed it as something that a diva demands. And how can we resist? A remote, tropical location? Palm trees and frangipani? I can smell the coconut suntan lotion from here.

Because of its remote location, Fiji Water remains probably the most inefficient form of hydration. The production of one bottle of water requires 7 times the amount of water that is IN the bottle.

Evian was the Queen of Bottled Water until Fiji cam along and started touting it's benefits. Evian claims to be bottled in the French Alps (how much purer can you get than that?) and their main web page reads simply "evian detox". Evian's iconic white-capped mountains definitely speak of pure, clean and fresh water.

Evian also has a really bizarre, almost Evangelically-virgin-y-sounding "Purity Pact" that you can sign up for - test your purity, and vow not to drink anything but Evian! This is for the UK site, probably the "Purity Test" that you can take online would cause most younger Americans to snicker. Loudly.

Dasani is one of the most affordable bottled waters available in the US, at about $1 per 18-ounce bottle. Owned and bottled by the Coca Cola Company, Dasani is just tap water. Filtered tap water, but tap water nonetheless.

This is the essence of brand equity, and it's why consumers are happy to pay over the odds for Welsh TyNant water in Cyprus, or French Evian in the Peruvian Andes. It's also why the "water sommelier" has become a feature of upmarket U.S. restaurants.

"Branding does matter, even for a mundane product like water," Frits van Dijk, chief executive of Nestle Waters, said last year.

"We produce value-added waters. Marketing and R&D all have to be financed somehow and that's why you'll never see Nestle in the very low price market. It's not our territory."

There you have it. Value-added waters. And by "value", they mean "this water costs us next to nothing to bring to market, but you'll pay through the nose for it". Think about it - the mark-up on something like a can or bottle of Coke is pretty steep. Production costs, even factoring bottling and transportation costs, are minimal, so Coca Cola makes great profits on every bottle that we purchase. But compared to bottled tap water that has been run through a filter, a bottle of Coke is expensive to manufacture.

By the way, Dasani gets an interestingly mixed review regarding its taste at The BevNET.com.

This water, which has a slightly grainy appearance, actually has a somewhat pleasant taste. Unlike many other bottled waters which taste like plastic, Dasani has a clean and pure flavor that we found to be quite refreshing. Overall, a fairly decent bottled water with a pleasant taste.

I'm afraid I have no idea what to make of "grainy appearance". Are they talking about the bottle? The water is grainy? Would that be the opposite of silky (which is how Fiji Water describes their drinking experience)?

Designer water is an increasingly popular thing, but it can be easy to be mislead about the source of the water. There are sites set up that are dedicated to telling you what waters taste the best. I once stayed in a hipster hotel in Portland, OR, that provided a couple of $8 bottles of water in each room. Glass bottles, snazzy caps, lovely packaging. The name included an umlat, to indicate just how exotic it was. But like exotically-named Häagen-Dazs ice cream, it was all about appearances: it was tap water (you had to read the fine print to figure that out).

Now, again, I'm not saying it's a sin to buy a bottle of Dasani or even Evian if you are thirsty and need water and find yourself somewhere without access to good, healthy, tasty water. But to do so every day, to purchase these products in lieu of being prepared and providing your own bottle of clean tap water, filtered or not... well, I'm not going to call it a sin, but is it a responsible choice?

What About Taste?

My best friend is a great guy. He doesn't waste stuff. I've got him recycling. He doesn't blow money on useless crap. He's frugal. He also, until last week, would buy flats of bottled water at Costco every couple of weeks, because he believes that the water from his tap is bad.

Seattle has some pretty safe tap water. It isn't as tasty as the stuff I grew up with (yummy, rural well water that was so ridiculously pure that it even tasted slightly sweet), but it isn't bad, either. It's certainly better than the water I have tasted in other larger cities.

I'm very sensitive to smells and tastes, and I can smell the tiniest amount of chlorine in a glass of wafter. Even then, our tap water is pretty good. But I still filter it, which is a habit that I developed when I lived on the East Coast.

I know a lot of people who have come to the conclusion that our tap water is dirty or unsafe or full of chemicals. But I've actually noticed that these people (they include two coworkers, the aforementioned best friend, three family members, and a couple fo good friends) will drink the tap water served in restaurants without a complaint. Sure, maybe they don't want to pay $6 for a bottle of Evian and are just drinking the water out of a sense of frugality. Or maybe they assume that swanky restaurants serve really good tap water. Whatever the case is, I'd bet my Brita filter that most of these people wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a blind taste test between tap water and bottled water.

ABC's 20/20 claims that their unscientific blind taste test found that participants couldn't tell the difference between tap and bottled water. According to the Mr. Mustachio himself, John Stossel:

In our test of bottled waters, Kmart's American Fare — the cheapest brand — won. Big-seller Aquafina came in second. Iceland Spring tied the ordinary tap water for third place. Fifth place went to Poland Spring, and in last place, by far, with almost half the testers saying it tasted bad, was the most expensive water — the fancy French stuff, Evian.

But let's just assume you can tell the difference - are you certain that your bottled water is any more pure than the tap water? Since many bottled waters actually come from the tap, how can you be certain that you are taking a real purity pledge when you pay through the nose for bottled water?

What about chemicals? Isn't bottled water safer?

Many Americans claim to drink bottled water because they feel like tap water is unsafe to drink. And according to the FDA, it's true that bottled water has stricter rules on the allowable levels of some dangerous chemicals, such as lead:

"Generally, over the years, the FDA has adopted EPA standards for tap water as standards for bottled water," Kim says. As a result, standards for contaminants in tap water and bottled water are very similar.

However, in some instances, standards for bottled water are different than for tap water. Kim cites lead as an example. Because lead can leach from pipes as water travels from water utilities to home faucets, the EPA set an action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) in tap water. This means that when lead levels are above 15 ppb in tap water that reaches home faucets, water utilities must treat the water to reduce the lead levels to below 15 ppb. In bottled water, where lead pipes are not used, the lead limit is set at 5 ppb. Based on FDA survey information, bottlers can readily produce bottled water products with lead levels below 5 ppb. This action was consistent with the FDA's goal of reducing consumers' exposure to lead in drinking water to the extent practicable.

That seems fairly reassuring, especially to people who are worried about exposure to lead poisoning. And in older buildings, lead in the water can be a serious problem, but it is usually mitigated by simply running the water for twenty minutes or so. Interestingly, the FDA doesn't say anything about how the regulate the bottled water industry, or whether or not they inspect the bottling plants, or how the verify that the water sold comes from the advertised destination.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council:

Gaping holes remain in the regulatory fabric for bottled water, and FDA and state resources dedicated to bottled water protection and enforcement generally are thin to nonexistent. For example, FDA's head bottled water regulator estimates that FDA has just one half of a person (full-time equivalent or FTE) per year dedicated to bottled water regulation. [114] Similarly, bottled water compliance is a low priority for FDA, so specific figures are not kept for resources dedicated to ensuring it meets standards; the compliance office estimated in 1998 that a likely total of "less than one" FDA staff person (FTE) is dedicated to bottled water compliance. [115]

The NDRC report, which I highly recommend as some good, tree-huggin' readin', states very clearly that they are not suggesting that bottled water is any less pure than tap water, and state that they have documented tap water contamination in the past. But they also point out that water bottled and sold in the same state is NOT subject to the FDA regulations, as flimsy as those regulations are.

According to the Earth Policy Institute, "[t]he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets more stringent quality standards for tap water than does the Food and Drug Administration for the bottled stuff...."

Dasani is just filtered tap water, like we mentioned. Sure, it might be purer than the water from your tap, but is that worth the cost when you could just filter it yourself?

What about Fiji Water, the purest of the pure?

Los Angeles-based Fiji Water runs magazine ads for its bottled water with the headline "The Label Says Fiji Because It's Not Bottled in Cleveland."

Cleveland officials retaliate by running tests revealing that Fiji bottled water contains 6.3 micrograms of arsenic per liter, while the city's tap water has none.

Bottled Water, Bottled Hype Part 1

This is the first in a three-part series about bottled water. To read the second installment, click here. To read the third installment, click here.

Have you ever stopped to think about just how incredibly odd it is to buy bottled water? I'm only recently coming to understand just how ludicrous the whole thing is.

Really, think about it:

America has some of the best civil infrastructure in the world. Most Americans have clean drinking water piped directly into their sinks. Yet, we persist in buying the bottled stuff.

Sales of bottled water topped $35 billion in 2003, and have gone up steadily since.

Bottled water costs consumers of the Starbucks Ethos brand roughly $9.85 per gallon, just a tad more than gasoline. Oh, wait - yes, that's triple the cost of gasoline. Now, not everyone buys Ethos-brand bottled water, and you can get a purified gallon of water at the supermarket for roughly a dollar. That's still a dollar too much.

Time for a Metaphor

Let's imagine that there's a guy who lives in France, we'll call him Pepe, who generates really green electricity from his windfarm. He can ship the power in the form of HUGE batteries, from France. You can then go the store, buy a huge battery, hook the battery up to your house, and voila!- you are able to use it to power your lights. Great! When you are finished, you just throw the battery away and buy another one at the store. Sure, you could just use the electricity that is wired into your home, but green power is better, right?

Well, when we buy bottled water, especially bottled water from overseas (like Fiji), that's exactly what we are doing. We're deciding against something that we have immediate access to, something that pours freely into our sinks at the twist of a handle. But instead, many of us prefer to purchase water. Water, which is sort of ubiquitous, now arrives in plastic bottles, bottles that are polluting to create and polluting to get rid of.

Fossil fuels are burned moving the water across the ocean (in what I like to call "an ironic twist"), and then a diesel-burning truck brings the water to your grocery store, which you drive to in your gas-burning car.

Where you buy it. And drink it. And throw away the bottle.

Environmental Impact

The environmental impact that the bottled water craze is having on our planet is staggering:

Bottled water is responsible for an enormous increase in world production of plastic bottles. Surging sales of bottled water coincided with and may help account for a 56 per cent increase in U.S. plastic resin manufacture in the U.S.A. between 1995 and 2001 (from 32 million tons to over 50 million tons annually). Consuming critical supplies of petroleum and natural gas, plastic bottle factories create and release toxic wastes, including benzine, xylene, and oxides of ethylene into the environment.

Drinking bottled water actually increases the price of gasoline, because the manufacturing of the bottles and the transportation of the water simply increases demand for oil. I'm not going to say that if you drink Evian, the terrorists have won, but keep in mind that when you buy bottled water, you're not just consuming bottled water. You're consuming (and paying for) all of the chemicals that went into producing that bottle that the water arrived in, as well as the gas and oil consumed in bringing the water to you.

It's shockingly inefficient. It's also ridiculously bad for our planet:

"About 300 billion pounds of plastic are produced each year, said Charles Moore, founder of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation. That's 1,000 pounds for every American.

"And massive amounts of it are washing into the sea.

"Swirling in the Pacific Ocean is an area of man-made trash the size of Texas. A few years ago Moore towed a fine mesh net like a giant cheesecloth through the area -- dubbed the "great garbage patch." The haul contained six times more plastic than plankton."

Read that full article in the Seattle PI - I guarantee that it will make you think carefully about throwing away plastic. One thing that I didn't know was how plastic is capable of degrading. I had always been told that a plastic bottle now is a plastic bottle 2000 years from now - but plastic does break down into smaller pieces, and it's everywhere.

The trouble is that there's no effective way to remove the plastic pollution, whether it's in chunks or microscopic bits. Researchers say the solution is keeping it out of the water in the first place. And there's good reason to do so: it's on our dinner plates.

Accenture, Target Corporation, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC), The Boeing Company, and Cerner Corporation are among the top companies that take on many Entry-Level Business Analysts. Pay for Entry-Level Business Analysts is best at Amazon.com Inc, which offers a median salary of $81K. However, the highest reported salaries don't seem to be much higher than the lowest ones; the pay range here runs from $59K to $102K. Entry-Level Business Analysts can also look forward to large paychecks at Capital One Financial Corp ($72K), McKinsey & Company, Inc. ($71K), and Cisco Systems Inc ($70K).
The smallest paychecks in the field are found at Humana, Inc., where the median salary is a mere $43K, about half the top paying employer's rate. Others at the bottom of the scale for this job include Cerner Corporation at $44K, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC) where $51K is the norm, but it is worth noting that some Entry-Level Business Analysts there earn up to $75K.
Surpassing the national average by 25 percent, Entry-Level Business Analysts in San Francisco receive some of the highest pay in the country. Entry-Level Business Analysts can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+20 percent), Boston (+13 percent), Los Angeles (+13 percent), and Washington (+12 percent). In Pittsburgh, salaries are 7 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market. Below-median salaries also turn up in Denver and Minneapolis (3 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively).

From the moment you pass through the gates of this wonderful community you will feel as though you have entered into a private paradise. Situated on a prime 1 acre cul-de-sac citrus lot this 5400 square foot home is sure to make a memorable vacation. As you make your way up the front walk, beautiful mature landscaping and the soothing sounds of the trickling fountain will greet you. Pass through the stately iron and glass door to be greeted by the grand foyer finished by dual sweeping staircases.
Designed to be beautiful as well as highly functional, this completely stocked kitchen features granite counters, an abundance of beautiful custom cabinetry, rich hardwood flooring, all stainless steel appliances, a delightful breakfast room and best of all, plenty of space for helping hands or casual conversation. The house features 2 gorgeous master suites, complete with stone faced fireplaces and an exit to the large walk-out balcony. One master suite includes a kitchenette complete with a queen size bed and sleeper sofa. The professionally designed and landscaped grounds offer lots of grassy area, beautiful mature trees, an extended covered patio, large gazebo with an outdoor fireplace, a built-in BBQ and basketball court. This kid and pet friendly home offers a kids play area with swing set, Wii gaming system, an enormous gated Pebble Tech pool (50' x 25') with a hot tub that can easily accommodate 8 adults. The pool was remodeled in August of 2014! We invite you to experience life in Villa Sendero for a week or a month. You will find nothing like it in the Phoenix area!
Keywords: Luxury, estate, family friendly, recreational, huge pool, family getaway, gated community
We purchased this home in 2004 as our primary residence. We have relocated to Las Cruces, NM and decided that we want our family and friends to continue to enjoy this beautiful home.
Christy Saiz purchased this estate in 2004
Really enjoy the Phoenix area, dining, shopping, sporting events and amazing weather!
Beautiful private paradise. You will not need to leave this home to have an amazing vacation! All the amenities that you could want!
Our time at this home was wonderful. The pictures did not it justice. Our plan was to rent the home as a landing place for us as we ventured around the Mesa Phoenix area. We had scheduled a family reunion with our 5 children and their spouses. There was more room than we needed with nothing that we could want and no need to venture out. The pool, hot tub and outside areas were perfect. The owners could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Not only did we have the perfect gather space for all of us but there was a lot of space for any or all of us to go off on our own, in the house and on the property, when we needed privacy. It was a great place to connect with family in a way we hadn't been able to do for years.
We highly recommend this as a home you can come to and not have to leave.
Our overall impression of the property is breathtaking! There are citrus trees that surround the entire property. We were able to have fresh squeezed OJ in the morning and my father made us a key lime pie with fresh key limes out of the side yard. The house is like a mansion and gorgeous! There is an amazing Chandelier in the front entry way and the dining room. Ten of us stayed there for a week and there was so much space we never felt like we were on top of each other. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room could accommodate all ten of us at once. The beds were comfortable like they have not ever been slept in and the linen was wonderful as well. We are from Wyoming and we left snow so we got into the pool and hot tub everyday. It was nice to have heating the pool as an option and there is a fire pit under a covered porch area in the back with plenty of seating for a big party. We had fires every night and sat back there for hours. There was a swing set that my kiddos played on and the fathers of the group even played ball on the basketball court. It had everything my family and I needed and more. I cannot express how incredible this house really is!!
What a beautiful, comfortable and SPACIOUS home! We hosted our out of state family (brother, 2 sisters, spouses and 90 yo mother) in Mesa for our oldest son's wedding downtown. Since we live in the Sedona AZ area this property made perfect sense. The openness and elegance of this property cannot be appreciated until you see it! Beds were high end and very comfortable. Amenities were luxurious and complete. The grounds were carefully manicured and as elegant as the house itself. The pool is right out of a country club brochure! The kitchen was fully equipped and ready to serve our party of 11. The house is wired with high speed WIFI and cable TV with multiple movie channels. There was even a printer in the laundry room which I had to use for an urgent business need! Christy (the owner) was great to deal with and allowed us to check in slightly early in the day to accommodate our elderly mother. Thanks Christy! I highly recommend this property if you are a large family or group who needs the space and expects a high degree of comfort and luxury.
Our week's stay was more than we could have asked for. Our family of 7 adults, 3 teenage girls, and a toddler, had plenty of room in this house. One of the best parts of renting this house, was having the pool and backyard all to ourselves. We knew that there were citrus trees on the property, but being from Wisconsin, had no clue how many oranges, lemons and grapefruits we would have everyday! There was a juicer, which we used to make orange juice and lemonade. This house is huge and is even nicer in person. The beds were all comfortable, ceiling fans in each room, plenty of beach towels. Walgreens and Sonic Drive-in are within walking distance. Wal-mart, Dollar Tree, Subway and Quizno's just down the road. Would love to stay here again in the future!
We recently returned from a great birthday celebration with five other couples and everyone is raving about the experience. This home is beautiful, from the gorgeous first floor with a large kitchen opening to the living room and the huge outdoor space. The six bedrooms are spacious and include high end, comfortable beds that allowed us to rest and recover. Everything was just as the listing stated, from the cooking tools to the pool towels had no issues at all. Most of our time was spent outside of course; the bbq area adjacent to the pool became the central gathering point with plenty of room to sit back and relax. At night we took advantage of the gazebo with outdoor fireplace - great times. The new Cubs Park is only about 20 minutes away so we were able to enjoy a game but quickly returned to the pool. Christy was very responsive and great to work with; some of our friends reached out to her as well and gave the same feedback. I highly recommend you stay here for your next trip to Phoenix, you will have a great time and it is so much better than staying at a hotel. PS - don't overpack; you will not want to leave the compound!
Great property!! We had 11 golfers for a yearly golf trip who thoroughly enjoyed the home. Plenty of room and by far the best home we have rented over the years.
The house is conveniently located to the 202 and the 60, allowing easy access to all of the Valley. Very easy to access ASU, Scottsdale and Downtown Phoenix

ST. MARYS — Sidney waited two seasons to celebrate a victory , so an extra minute of patience needed before kicking an overtime game-winner didn't faze head coach Adam Doenges and his Yellow Jackets.
The St. Marys Roughriders were simply left kicking themselves for opportunities missed in the 2012 season opener.

COVINGTON — Running was the name of the game for the Covington Buccaneers Friday night in the opening game of the 2012 football season against the New Bremen Cardinals.

I don't have any information on prepaid phone providers in Mexico; if they're as prevalent as they are here in the States, how will this affect those users? Can you just register the phone as belonging to Inigo Montoya and be done with it?

Stories like this always make me very, very glad that I've never bothered to buy a cell phone. I mean sure, I know my government will track me somehow anyway, but at least I have the satisfaction of making the bastards work for their data.
