Make changes in your life; don't wear the same roads out, start walking on the new paths!
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Make your life a mission-not an intermission.
Make your own recovery the first priority in your life.
Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, and the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.
Man is a machine of remembrance; all we do is to remember things because life flies fast like a swallow; reality immediately disappears!
Man is a thief, an impudent thief! He steals honey from bees, eggs from chickens, milk from cows and life from the God!
Man is fed with fables through life, and leaves it in the belief he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he has known nothing but what has passed under his own eye.
Man is immortal therefore he must die endlessly. For life is a creative idea it can only find itself in changing forms.
Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.
Man must have fires in his life: Fire of love; fire of work; fire of doing kindness... Without fires, man is just a cold rock!
Man often thinks of either his past or his future and in the mean time today passes like a fast train, disappearing forever on the horizon of life!
Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.
Man supposes that he directs his life and governs his actions, when his existence is irretrievably under the control of destiny.
Man will become immeasurably stronger, wiser, and subtler; his body will become more harmonious, his movements more rhythmic, his voice more musical. The forms of life will become dynamically dramatic. The average human type will rise to the heights of an Aristotle, a Goethe, or a Marx. And above these heights, new peaks will rise.
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is.
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.
Man, unlike the animals, has never learned that the sole purpose of life is to enjoy it.
Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again. They want the risk of disaster, want to touch bottom, see where bottom is, and, coming up, to breathe the air with relief and relish again.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Many people chase after success. Others pursue money. But I think the happiest people on earth Are the one's who have found significance. The real question of life must be What has significance for you
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord Of the Rings, Book Four, Chapter One
Master of Life is the person who is best at keeping the brutal scars of life to a minimum!

Minors: Arcia's 8th-inning bomb gives Fort Myers 4-3 win
Oswaldo Arcia's solo home run in the top of the eighth inning propelled the Fort Myers Miracle to a 4-3 win over the Bradenton Marauders at McKechnie Field on Wednesday evening in Bradenton.
With the game tied 3-3 in the eighth, Arcia obliterated a first-pitch fastball from Marauders reliever Kenn Kasparek over the right-field fence to cap off a 4-for-4 night at the plate, and give Fort Myers a 4-3 lead.
Kasparek (0-1) was making his first appearance for the Pirates organization after being signed from the Fargo-Morehead Redhawks in the American Association. Arcia greeted him with his fifth home run of the season. After his four-hit performance, Arcia is now hitting .362 through 26 games in the month of May.
Prior to Arcia's heroics, Fort Myers lost a 3-1 lead in the seventh inning when Bradenton shortstop Gift Ngoepe hit a two-run homer off Miracle reliever Nelvin Fuentes to tie the game. Fuentes (2-0) recovered to get the final two outs of the seventh and one in the eighth before giving way to Bruce Pugh.
Facing five hitters in the eighth and ninth innings, Pugh struck out four including the final two en route to his fifth save.
The Miracle jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. After a bunt single from Angel Morales, Daniel Santana ripped a 1-0 pitch from Marauders starter Tyler Waldron down the right field line for a run-scoring triple. Two hitters later, Jairo Perez hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Santana.
Santana finished the evening 3-for-4 with a run scored and a second RBI coming on a double in the seventh inning.
For the seventh time in eight games against Bradenton, the final outcome was decided by only one run. Fort Myers (21-31) looks for back-to-back series wins for the first time in 2012 with the rubber match versus the Marauders (23-29) set for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday night at McKechnie Field.
Fans can listen to every pitch at www.miraclebaseball.com with the "Voice of the Miracle" Brice Zimmerman. The State Farm pregame show begins at 6:15 p.m.

La Salle outlasts Ateneo, deals Lady Eagles their first loss
More News from Mark Giongco
MANILA, Philippines – Defending champion De La Salle rose from two sets down to deal Ateneo its first loss, 26-28, 21-25, 25-13, 25-21, 15-13, Saturday in the UAAP Season 75 women's volleyball tournament at the frenzied Arena in San Juan.
Ara Galang led the Lady Archers, who tied the Lady Eagles in first place with a 6-1 record, with 18 points on 14 attacks and three blocks.
Neither team wanted to give in but De La Salle proved to be the tougher team as the game, which lived up to its billing, grew weary.
La Salle's veterans Abigail Maraño and Michelle Gumabao turned things around in the last three sets while also getting a lift from sophomore Mika Reyes, who churned in 16 points on four blocks.
"Bumalik lang ang kumpiyansa," said DLSU coach Ramil de Jesus, whose squad is eyeing its third straight title. "Kailangan ng mga seniors na tumulong para sa mga sophomores kaya nagising sa third set."
Gumabao had 12 points while Maraño added 11.
It was a back-and-forth battle up until the final point of the grueling match with Gumabao providing the game-clinching kill that sent Ateneo scrambling to keep the ball alive.
Maraño atoned for his lackadaisical play early with three timely hits in the deciding fifth set, including a spike that made it 12-8.
But the Lady Eagles, whose six-game winning streak got snapped, found themselves in good position to extend the fifth set after Ella de Jesus sent Galang's attempt back, 13-14.
Alyssa Valdez continued her scoring spree with a game-high 23 points while Fille Cainglet scored 16 points before rolling her right ankle late in the fourth set that sidelined her for the rest of the match.
La Salle capitalized with Ateneo down to five players as Cainglet went down in pain after injuring her ankle. Fajardo forged the fifth set with a well-placed drop that caught the Lady Eagles off guard.

Necessary Increase in LDF Dues
December 10, 2014
All Legal Defense Fund Members
RE: Necessary Increase in LDF Dues
Dear LDF Member:
Due to increased usage of LDF benefits and an unusual number of matters requiring increased attorney attention, it has become necessary for the Legal Defense Fund Trustees to raise membership dues. The current dues structure has remained in effect for ten years and is no longer sufficient to maintain the level of legal services required.
The Legal Defense Fund balances are becoming dangerously low as a result of the defense of numerous members. Although our Legal Defense Fund membership continues to grow, the current dues structure is not sufficient to maintain legal services based on the volume we have seen in 2014.
The dues increase will take place in two (2) phases. Effective March 1, 2015, Legal Defense Fund individual membership will increase from $100 per year to $120 per year. There will be a second increase in 2016 making the dues for that year $144.00. This is necessary to offset the increased costs of providing quality legal defense to police officers throughout the State of Indiana.
Your Indiana Legal Defense Fund membership continues to be as important to you and your family as your body armor. Don't leave home without it! We will continue to strive to provide expert law enforcement representation at the lowest possible cost. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to discuss them with any of your FOP Trustees.
Very truly yours,
Leo T. Blackwel

My name is Bruce Biggs. I retired from the Lafayette Police Department in 2012, at the rank of Captain, after 23 years of service. I continue to be an active member of our fraternity via Lafayette Arman Lodge #49. I'm completing a doctoral degree at Purdue University in organizational leadership with a focus in law enforcement leadership and administration. I'm working on my dissertation research which examines organizational causes of officer job stress and job satisfaction. I need your help in contacting my brother and sister officers to seek their participation in my study. I have attached a brief word document that better explains my project. I would be very gratefully for any assistance you can provide, which is critical to my effort. I would Thank you much for your time and leadership.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Contact the State Lodge for his # if you want to call him. 800-793-6746.
The green space that we are planning will be an opportunity for members across Indiana to purchase a brick or granite paver to recognize all of our members who have played a part in making the FOP what it is. The green space will have the outline of Indiana in it and will be surrounded by trees, bushes and flowering plants. You will be proud to be part of this space. Just one of the ideas I have heard, is purchasing an area to recognize all the family members who were in the FOP. My brother David and I have talked about getting a granite piece to honor our father for his many years of service. The starting cost for a 4x8 red brick will be one hundred dollars and one hundred and twenty five dollars for a granite piece the same size.
This June, at the State Conference, the commemorative pavers will go on sale for all members. Members interested in purchasing a paver recognizing their local lodge will be able to call the state office after June 1st. Every effort will be made to place the bricks in an area of your choosing, but it will be on a first come first serve basis. With over 15,000 active and retired members and 108 lodges, space could be limited as to where your brick will be placed.
We, on the board, are hoping this fundraiser will not only make the green space something we can all be proud of, but also serve as a tribute to R Pat Stark, Addie Maddox, Chris Anton and all the others who made Indiana a great FOP State.
Pablo Navarrete (a NW District IMPD Officer) lost almost everything in an apartment fire at Fox Club Apartments yesterday when it was struck by lightning.

Good morning - As you may know, the State Fire Marshal's Office inspects all temporary outdoor stages and outdoor stage equipment. In an effort to find all of the locations where these stages and stage equipment may be used anywhere in the state, Marshal Greeson is asking our public and private partners to help spread the word that anyone who's using outdoor stages or outdoor stage equipment needs to notify the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Marshal Greeson would very much appreciate your help in distributing the 2 attached information sheets to as many members of the law enforcement community as possible so that he and his staff can continue these vital public safety inspections.
Thank you for your help.

When in Cannes, dress like, errrr, a man from Cannes.
Brad Pitt pulled his best Cannes pose this afternoon. Copyright [Rex]
And that's exactly what Brad Pitt did today as he turned up at the famous French film festival looking super chic.
The Hollywood A-lister donned a pale grey suit, crispy white T-shirt and EVEN white shoes for his Cannes Film Festival appearance today.
And Brad Pitt had perfected his Cannes swagger too, posing with his hands in his pockets, leaning slightly back in true I'm-very-important-in-Cannes style.
Brad Pitt had a pale-coloured suit and even WHITE shoes on for the occasion. Copyright [Rex]
Brad, who was promoting his new movie 'Killing Me Softly' this afternoon even tidied up his long hair and facial fluff for the occasion.
And he had his obligatory pair of poser sunglasses in his pocket. Obvs.
Mr Pitt was attending the photocall without fiance Angelina Jolie. And it meant that all attention was on HIM for once, with waiting paps and fans screaming at his presence.
Earlier he told press that he has no problem playing a killer in the new movie.
[Related story: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to marry on August 11]
He said: "I would find playing a racist more unsettling than playing someone who shoots someone in the face.
"We live in such a violent world. I don't see a world without violence."
Asked about his forthcoming wedding to Angelina Jolie he played with reporters.
He said: "We truly have no date. I'm still hoping we'll figure out our marriage equality in the States before then."

Jay Roach not directing 'Little Fockers'
February 19, 2009
Universal is trying to a secure a director for
Little Fockers, the second sequel in the
Meet the Parents franchise, The Hollywood Reporter said.
Producers are talking to several comedy directors about heading up the movie — which is expected to again star Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Robert De Niro — because
Meet the Parents and
Meet the Fockers director Jay Roach is working on another project. Roach will, however, produce
Little Fockers, which is said to concentrate on Stiller's and Polo's characters and their children.
The Hollywood Reporter said
I Love You, Man writer-director John Hamburg is penning the screenplay for
Fockers, which is tentatively slated to go before the cameras this summer or fall.

San Jose Treatment Center Launches New Video That Informs People Where to Seek Help for Drug, Alcohol Addiction
San Jose treatment center offers programs to stop drug and alcohol dependency in its tracks. Call (855) 912-7867 for an appointment at Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
A San Jose treatment center that deals with drug and alcohol addiction is launching a new video aimed at informing people in San Jose and surrounding areas about the services offered at Drug Addiction Treatment Center. These surrounding cities include Haywood, Fremont, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Campbell, Evergreen, and Almaden.
Alcohol detoxification is a process by which a heavy drinker's system is brought back to normal after being used to having alcohol in the body on a continual basis. Serious alcohol addiction results in a decrease in production of GABA, a reuptake inhibitor, because alcohol acts to replace it. Precipitous withdrawal from long-term alcohol addiction without medical management can cause severe health problems and can be fatal. Alcohol detox is not a treatment for alcoholism. After detoxification, other treatments must be undergone to deal with the underlying addiction that caused the alcohol use.
Cocaine, heroin, Oxycontin and benzodiazepines are just a few of the drugs that the treatment center helps people put in their past. Alcoholism, a disease that destroys individuals as well as families, is addressed through the substance abuse treatment center's programs.
Drug detoxification is used to reduce or relieve withdrawal symptoms while helping the addicted individual adjust to living without drug use; drug detoxification is not meant to treat addiction but rather an early step in long-term treatment. Detoxification may be achieved drug free or may use medications as an aspect of treatment. Often drug detoxification and treatment will occur in a community program that lasts several months and takes place in a residential rather than medical center.
An initial step in San Jose is detoxification from all mind-altering substances. This is overseen by a well-trained medical staff, making sure clients are supported, guided and nurtured through these initial hours and days free from their drug of choice.
This is followed by counseling and therapeutic help and support. Once people leave the treatment center, outpatient care and support is strongly suggested by counselors. Transitioning back into the "real world" takes time, too, and outpatient treatment allows clients an opportunity to share their victories and struggles with like-minded people.
For more information on the treatment center in San Jose, visit http://drugsdetox.org or call (888) 444-9148.

Focus on West Asia and the European Union
Small, medium companies hit
Rising cost of raw materials
NEW DELHI: The strengthening of the rupee against the U.S. dollar has hit exporters hard, forcing them to adopt various mechanisms like forward contracts, shifting to other currencies and establishing protective clauses in their contracts to safeguard their interests, states a survey conducted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
"The concern is widespread among small, medium and large companies alike. The members of the exporting community have indicated that they are now taking steps to fortify their defences. Robust rupee has emerged as the most crucial stumbling block for a large number exporters and the outlook for the next six months does not look bright," said the survey conducted in the first quarter of the current fiscal.
"Exporting more to regions such as West Asia and the European Union, a strategic move to partially nullify the impact of the strengthening rupee vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar, is also being resorted to by some exporters," it said.
The top five regions identified by the survey participants where strong movements in export volumes are likely to take place in the next six months include West Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia, the UAE and the European Union. Exporters saw rising prices of raw materials a major constraint in staying competitive at the global level as a majority of them have been hit due to the rising cost of raw materials, it added.
Besides the appreciating rupee and the rising cost of raw materials, the other issues that figure in the top five impeding factors listed by the participating companies include increase in the oil prices, competitive environment and the rising cost of credit.
While the exporters have welcomed the relief package announced by the Government, its impact on export movement will not be pronounced because of the overriding influence of rupee appreciation on their overall earnings.
Several exporters have cited a reduction in the interest rate on pre-shipment and post-shipment credit as an important measure.

Send your loved ones a link to my site and tell them you want tools this year.
Have them use Code DWTools25 and they'll get 25% Off everything in the store and on everything you wanted for Father's Day!
Best Regards, Gordon/RTS
Guys, don't forget to let 'em know you would rather have good tools than a bad shirt!
25% OFF Everything with Coupon DWTools25
Guys, you still have time to get these for Father's Day at my biggest dicounted price yet. DWTools25 is just for Father's Day purchases.
I look forward to serving you...Gordon/RTS
Hi Gordon,
I attempted to purchase two pairs of tie down straps and pay with PayPal but there was no mechanism to apply the 25% coupon and the only shipping option was for USPS Priority mail at $33.60 (for a $39.00 order???). You might want check into the "check out" process.
GoDaddy websites are great and very affordable, but they can only handle 1 rule for shipping. I will gladly handle those for you manually and I'm sorry for the shipping glitch. You can call me or email me at
$50.30 shipped in the US for 2 pair. I will need to remove them from the big plastic packages they come in since 2 pairs require a Large USPS Flat Rate box. I will send you the instructions and data cards in the same package.
Thanks, Gordon/RTS
Thanks to Gordon for a quick and efficient solution to the problem! I love great customer service.
You are very welcome. I've talked with GoDaddy several times about their shipping configurations and they have not yet provided a solution. If someone orders my big 46 piece tool roll set which has free shipping, the site still charges them full freight on the other items - it makes no sense, but that's the software. Call me or write an email inquiry and I'll make it right -
Thanks again, Gordon/RTS

Gunmen kill Iraqi army colonel near Mosul
A senior official with the Independent High Electoral Commission, Hamdia al-Hussaini, said the banned candidates would have until the end of the week to challenge the decision. She confirmed that al-Mutlaq was on the list, but said the rest of the list will not be publicized until after the appeal process is over.
The 511 candidates constitute a little less than 10 percent of the roughly 6,500 people who were vetted. But the fact that al-Mutlaq is among the names has spread fears that Sunnis will make up the bulk of the list.
"Punishing people for their ideological past is not acceptable and it will arouse fears," said Nourdin al-Hiali, Sunni lawmaker. "Revenge will not bring good to this country and will turn the people banned from the elections as victims and martyrs."

Eco-tourism park rises in Cebu
popular .
CEBU CITY – Butch Guillen wanted to put up a business that would help promote environmental awareness. So he and his family decided to set up an eco-tourism theme park within the city.
The P15-million Rainforest Park Cebu, which opened last August, provides an alternative tourist attraction, offering adventure-filled activities that have caught the attention of many clients, including employees of business process outsourcing companies (BPOs) and their families.
"I was thinking that we need to exert efforts wholeheartedly to promote environmental awareness while doing business," Guillen says.
He wanted an enterprise that would encourage the preservation of trees, marine resources and birds, as well as one that would conserve water, he explained.
Guillen is a long-time real estate sales and marketing man.
He presented his theme park idea to members of his family, including his wife, Anne Mitus, who is engaged in the restaurant business.
Similar rainforest cafés in cities like Las Vegas and Chicago in the United States inspired him to conceptualize a facility that would offer an earthy ambience and outdoor activities in the heart of the city.
For car-less Cebuanos
"We planned to have this not far from the city center since the nearest mountain adventure spot is 33 kilometers away, in Barangay (village) Busay," he says. "This is for the ordinary Cebuano who doesn't have a car. We made it a point [for it] to [be] accessible from the main thoroughfares."
The 2,000-square-meter park along the Ayala access road has an outdoor obstacle course amid lush greenery, a zip line, and wall climbing and assisted tightrope walking facilities.
Other obstacles are the Cargo Net, which simulates root climbing using cords, and Earthquake, which requires users to walk on wooden planks suspended from a metal beam high above the ground.
Open daily from 10 a.m. to midnight, Rainforest Park Cebu caters to what Guillen calls the Cebuanos' hunger for eco-tourism adventure.
"We really want to promote the environment," he says.
Environment lessons
Signs posted in strategic spots teach visitors lessons about the environment.
"Trees muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls do," one sign reads. "It can abate noise from freeways and airports."
Guillen says he sees the park's ecological education efforts as a "legacy to leave to generations to come."
Rainforest Park Cebu also features a restaurant with a bird sanctuary and an oceanarium that accommodates various marine species.
Its management plans to keep local and other Asian birds in the aviary. They will also bring in monkeys, crocodiles, lizards and other animals since they plan to "expand and put up a small zoo," Guillen says.
The theme park also cares for animals under the Adopt-a-Wildlife program of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Some of the 50 park workers take care of the trees, shrubs and other vegetation using rainwater collected in a 5,000-gallon underground catchment.
Guillen says the main challenge is earning "the acceptance of the public, since the park is the first of its kind in the city."
Another was that of raising funds, "since we solely relied on our meager resources," he adds.
They are not expecting any return on investment until the fifth year of operations. But they were overwhelmed by the response of the Cebuanos, including BPO workers, who keep the place fully booked for days on end.
A group of 200 call center agents once booked the place for a weekend for team-building activities.
Family celebrations like birthdays are also accommodated. Children can use the air-conditioned tents.
Guillen is assisted by his wife, who loves to cook.
Their daughter, Marion Tara, described the park as a "one-stop shop" because of its amenities.
Aside from a jungle adventure site, it is home to the Zoofari Café, Oasis Spa and Salon, Rainforest Gift Shop and Tribes' Bar.

We're excited to be back in 2006 with more reviews, news, and all around single serve coffee excitement. We had an amazing holiday and even got to sample a few new coffees.
We've been sampling the new Flava Pods, 8 O'Clock coffee pods, and also using our Aerobie with actual ground coffee! We'll have reviews of these in the next few weeks.
If you're a new reader to Single Serve Coffee.com we're pretty sure you'll be need to get familiar with our Single Serve Coffee forums, news, reviews, and exhaustive archives.
If you have questions on anything you find on the site, we recommend posting a comment on the article or asking a question in the forums.
What do we have on tap for this year? Well to start even more reviews. We've gotten quite a few new sample coffee pods, k-cups, and some new single serve coffee machines to review over the next month or so. We are compiling a large amount of information for what we're calling the "Big Brew Off" - essentially a comparison of the single serve coffee makers we think you'll need to pick from when deciding on your first or next single serve coffee brewer.
So sit back, make a cup of single serve coffee, and enjoy your fresh coffee filled New Year!
What a year 2005 has been for Single Serve Coffee.com. The shear amount of new single serve coffee products introduced in the past 12 months has been nothing short of jaw dropping. We've seen more coffee pod brewers, more coffee pods, more Keurig brewers, more Nespresso machines, more k-cup flavors - well just more of everything.
In the past year we can count up to 15 different single serve coffee machines that were brand new or getting a refresh including: Senseo Shorter Spout Edition, Mr. Coffee Home Cafe, Bunn My Cafe, Krups Home Cafe, Black & Decker Home Cafe, simplehuman Pod Brewer, too many Nespresso models to count, Tassimo, Gourmet Coffee Cafe (terrible coffee), Francis Francis! (ESE Pod), the Keurig B60 and B40, and others.
2005 was also the year of the single serve coffee pod brewer getting really nice big juicy pods - like the 12 gram Baronet Monster pods. We've also seen most coffee pod etailers move to a large 9.5-11 gram coffee pod which ensures a rich cup of single serve coffee.
On the K-Cup front, we saw the introduction of the larger extra-bold K-Cups - like the WiWili from Timothy's and the Sumatran Extra Dark from Green Mountain. These k-cups really have that extra 25% of coffee needed for a really nice dark cup of coffee. We love the extra bold/extra dark k-cups - they're simply some of our favorite coffees.
Here's our picks for the best of Single Serve Coffee.com 2005!
We'll be signing off until 2006, but we'll have occasional updates as well as our massive Best of Single Serve Coffee.com 2005 feature to tide you over until the New Year (debuts next week).
As the single serve coffee industry winds down from an eventful year--who knew Single Serve Coffee would be so big in 2005? You did.
Thanks to all our dedicated users for your support and your trust during an exciting 2005. And a special thanks to all of our advertisers over this past year - without them we wouldn't be able to bring you Single Serve Coffee.com each day.
Have a great holiday everyone and raise your coffee cups and remember how amazing this past year was for Single Serve Coffee because 2005 is only the beginning.

We've been enjoying many of the Holiday Flavored Coffees over the past few weeks and thought we'd share where to get them and for what coffee machines you'll need to brew them in. We've brokedn them into Coffee Pod based Holiday Coffees and K-Cup based Holiday Coffees.
Coffee Pod Based Holiday Coffees - will work in your Senseo, Bunn My Cafe, and other one cup coffee pod machines.
Cool Beans Pods
• Kahlua Cheme - we've had this a few times and have to say - yummy.
Baronet Coffee Pods
Keurig K-Cup Based Holiday Coffees - you'll need a Keurig B40, B50, B60 or B100 brewer to brew coffee using K-Cups
Green Mountain Coffee
Other Places to Get Holiday Blends
Online merchants such as CoffeeWhiz.com and others also have many of the holiday blends in stock.
For unique flavors such as high end Kona coffees, we recommend trying out Aloha Island Coffee. We have always Aloha Island Coffee and we think Aloha Island Coffee makes some of the best Kona Coffee Pods for your one cup coffee pod systems.
Readers are continually writing in to ask our opinion this year on what to buy this Holiday Season. We provided this Holiday Shopping Guide in November, but it's obvious everyone didn't their shopping done right away. Shame on you!
If you need some quick picks many of the items below are available online or offline at Target, Williams Sonoma, Amazon, and other places. Offline Williams Sonoma is a great place to find Keurig and Nespresso. Target will have the Senseo, Home Cafe, and their own Juan Valdez set of brewers.
The world of Single Serve Coffee can be a bit overwhelming when trying to find the right gift for that special someone over the holidays so be patient. We've put together a price based gift guide along with our reviews and thoughts on the coffee drinker you might be buying for this holiday season.
Over $500 - Nespresso Romeo Bundle - Review
We recommend the Nespresso Romeo. It comes with a set of Nespresso capsules that you just can't beat for flavor and taste.
Total: $800 in Kitchen & Housewares
If the higher priced Romeo is too much but you still want to go with the Nespresso take at look at the Nespresso Essenza for $179.99
Under $205 - Bunn My Cafe Bundle - Review
We recommend the Bunn My Cafe coffee brewer and a set of the Aloha Island Coffee pods. If you want to get into the world of higher end coffee pod based machines you can't get much better than the Bunn.
Total: $195+33-$25 Off in Kitchen & Housewares + FREE Shipping = $202.94
$150 and Under - Keurig B50 Bundle - Keurig Impressions
We recommend the Keurig B50 and a set of the Dark Magic Roast K-Cups from Green Mountain. We've enjoyed the auto-on feature of the B50 and the diversity of coffee you can get from Green Mountain, Timothy's, Van Houtte, and other roasters.
Total: 149.95 + 9.95 - 25 Off in Kitchen & Housewares + FREE Shipping = $134.90
Under $100 - Senseo Bundle - Review
We recommend the Senseo (in black of course) and a extra set of Senseo Dark Roast pods. The Senseo is a great all around brewer. We've had our Senseo for two years and it's still going strong.
Total: $45.50 + $16.99 + FREE Shipping = $72.49
Coffee Gadgets & Accessories
We think you'll love frothing milk or making hot milk with your single serve coffee. We love our BonJour Caffe Froth Turbo at $12.99 it's a perfect stocking stuffer. We also love the Froth Xpress for making hot milk!
Good luck and good shopping!
Update: The Prices have been adjusted per reader feedback and now the Froth XPress is out of stock!

Further proof the Single Serve Coffee phenomenon is here to stay. We can't but think running production lines 12 hours a day to make K-Cups is a good thing.
A half dozen production lines operate 12 hours a day, cutting small filters and stuffing them into tiny cups, dropping in 2 or 3 grams of coffee and sealing them before whisking them into boxes.
The scores of little coffee containers, known around Green Mountain Coffee Roasters as K-Cups, rolling off the line every few minutes represent what the small specialty brewer hopes will be a revolution in the way Americans brew their favorite roast at home. The diminutive cups are a self-contained coffee brewing system that can be popped into a relatively new brand of coffeemaker to produce a single cup of steaming java. Gone, promoters of the systems say, are the days of a full pot of coffee slowly burning before it's thrown down the sink...
Full Article at: Newsday.com: Brewing a revolution, one cup at a time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the drill. We want to know what your favorite Single Serve Coffee products were in in 2005.
What were you favorite coffee pods? K-Cups? What single serve brewer really seemed to be the best? What was the most improved brewer? Do you have a favorite vendor you use to buy your single serve coffee products from? What was your favorite review on Single Serve Coffee.com?

Why is the sky blue and not coffee colored?

We've heard from four out of the five winners who will receive a Keurig B60 from Green Mountain Coffee!
Congratulations! The following mailing list members have won a free Keurig B60 from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters:
John Brosnan - Winner #1
I read Single Serve Coffee.com's RSS feed every morning (its in my 'morning coffee' folder :). The reviews, particularly of different coffees, are great -- the reviews go into detail about the coffees, and help a picky coffee drinker (yours truly) find a nice dark roast.
MattM2G from Columbus, OH - Winner #2
When I first started looking for a single-serve coffee brewer, I was doing a considerable amount of research, and stumbled upon Single Serve Coffee.com, and I was hooked!!! I read all of the information on the site, then I joined the very knowledgeable group of people in the forum, and now, along with my daily caffeine fix, I also need my Single Serve Coffee.com fix ;-) !!!!
The information I get from the website is always very straightforward and honest. Jay and his staff do an incredibly thorough job of putting a product through its paces before they post a review!!! I now only need to go to one place for research on this topic!!
I have been debating on which single serve machine I was going to add to my kitchen (I have more than a few coffee-related items in there already). I LOVE the Keurig B-60, but that was not in the budget for this holiday season.....until I got the email saying that I had won a Keurig B-60!!!! Thank you very much for this prize, and keep up the fantastic job at Single Serve Coffee.com
Claire Raymundo - Winner #3
I have a regular 11-cup coffee pot, but since there's only 2 people in the household and both of us drink coffee at different times of the day, we don't really use it. I thought that I'd try a single serve one, so that way, we can each get a cup when we want one. - Thanks again
Dorothy Rosa Durkee - Winner #4
The selection of single-serve coffee available locally is pretty limited, and what there is isn't particularly good (or fresh). Were it not for Single Serve's reviews and recommendations and the availability of specialty coffees on line, we'd probably be drinking vintage freeze-dried instant decaf from a jar in Uncle Ernie's hunting camp pantry -- or the pricey (and pretentious) supermarket equivalent!
A big thanks to Green Mountain for making this possible and giving away such a fabulous set of prizes.
You've only got one more day to sign up and win a Keurig B60 from Green Mountain! Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is giving away five (yes, five!) Keurig Special Edition B60 brewers to Singleservecoffee.com mailing list members! Just in time for the holidays, you've got a chance to win one of these fantastic brewers for yourself or a friend! To learn more about Keurig brewers, click here.
Note: We'll be picking the 5 winners on December 15th - TOMORROW!!!
From Green Mountain:

We wanted to remind everyone of this killer holiday promotion. Right now you can trade in your old used coffee machine and get a free Senseo. Need a good cheap gift and have an old coffee maker - this might be the perfect thing for you.
Trade in your used coffee machine and give a new Senseo machine as a gift. Out with the old and in with the new. Senseo is traveling all over the country — from New York to Los Angeles — with their "Drop the Drip" event. Participants can trade in their used drip coffeemaker for a free Senseo machine (retail value $69.99) by visiting senseo.com/dropthedrip or by attending a "Drop the Drip" event on the ground as they travel to 10 select cities nationwide. The events offer consumers the chance to sample Senseo's coffee and partake in product demonstrations in a fun and interactive outdoor café setting. To date over 2,500 drip machines have been dropped. Senseo's "Drop the Drip" campaign also supports America's Second Harvest, a leading hunger-relief organization in the U.S., for each coffeemaker received Senseo will donate $1 to hurricane relief efforts.

Stars do not form from the "dust" or gases of nebulea as they are scientifically shown to be expanding at phenomenal rates. They are NOT contracting ( or their word: condensing) in on themselves and producing new stars.
This "a star is being born," or "star nursery" myths are made up by the evos in order to account for newer (last half of 1900's) scientific discoveries that blow star evolution out of the water.
Two faith statements:
After the big bang, in which NOTHING exploded
, stars began to form themselves, began evolving, and as well they continue to form themselves at the present time.
The Creator created the stars as well as every other thing in the entire universe.
Two big leaps of faith, but even small kids know that # 2 is easier to have faith in as far what science shows us today.
Once again, both Christians and evos have faith in certain things. Matter of fact, a lot of the time, the only real difference between Christians and evos once both are forced to be without true scientific foundations is the fact that almost all Christians will admit they have faith for certain things whereas almost all evo's will not admit to having faith.
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. -

Is there, in fact, a Fifth Philippine Republic?
In its "Ten Facts about President Aquino," an illustrated information sheet distributed to help mark his birthday last Friday, Malacañang emblazoned Facts No. 11 and 12 under an image of the President: that he was the 15th President of the Philippines, and the fifth President of the Fifth Republic.
Is he? The usual list of the country's presidents begins with Emilio Aguinaldo, who proclaimed Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. (The same day, incidentally, when Apolinario Mabini came to work for Aguinaldo; Mabini did not approve of the proclamation he had no part in writing.) We then skip an entire generation, and resume our count in 1935, when Manuel Quezon becomes the first president of the Commonwealth. In 1943, when the Philippines is under Japanese occupation, Quezon is reduced to leading a government-in-exile in Washington, DC; and Jose Laurel becomes president of a parallel republic. On Quezon's death in 1944, Sergio Osmeña assumes the presidency; in May 1946, he loses the presidential election to Manuel Roxas.
Roxas retains the presidency when the Commonwealth is dissolved and a prostrate Philippines is granted independence on July 4, 1946; he is followed in office by Elpidio Quirino, Ramon Magsaysay, Carlos Garcia, Diosdado Macapagal and Ferdinand Marcos.
After Marcos is driven from power, Corazon Aquino becomes the first of the post-Edsa presidents; she is followed in office by her chosen successor Fidel Ramos, and then by Joseph Estrada, Gloria Arroyo and, finally, her own son, Benigno Aquino III.
That makes 15 presidents—and for many of us the list is an emblem of continuity, even though the nature of the office and its powers varied greatly in history. Aguinaldo during the Philippine Revolution, Quezon during the Commonwealth era and Laurel during the Japanese occupation were bound by vastly different responsibilities; perhaps they had less in common than we think?
Much as I admire Laurel's personal character, and continue to think that he was a true statesman, a subtle thinker and the best writer ever to sit in the Supreme Court, I think he should be stricken off the list of presidents; the so-called Second Republic was an aberration in our history. I think it is also possible to make the case that Andres Bonifacio, having established the Katipunan as a multiregional government, should be considered the first Philippine president—but that is another matter, for another day.
Today's puzzle is the idea (sanctified by Wikipedia!) that we live under the Fifth Republic.
Counting Mr. Aquino as the fifth president of the Fifth Republic means the list starts with his mother, who convened a Constitutional Commission in 1986 and inaugurated a new Constitution in 1987. The Malolos Constitution of 1899 is commonly thought of as inaugurating the First Republic. (To be sure, Aguinaldo had already assumed power as president of a revolutionary government; in fact, it was precisely because he was the revolutionary president that he could serve as martial guarantor of Malolos.)
Were the other Republics created by new constitutions, too? The obscure 1943 Charter created the Second or "Puppet" Republic, and Marcos' Fourth Republic, inaugurated in 1981, may be said to flow from the by then much-amended 1973 Constitution. But the Third Republic, which began on July 4, 1946, offers an important exception; it continued to function under the 1935 Constitution.
In Malacañang's interpretation, the Fifth Republic is the new one that succeeded the revolutionary interregnum between February 1986 and February 1987. The problem is: Both the Senate and the House of Representatives tally the numbers differently.
The Congress that will be elected in the May 13 elections will be the 16th; but that is counted not from 1987 but from 1946, when the Third Republic commenced. The laws enacted by Congress now number over 10,000 (the controversial Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 is RA 10354); again, the count goes past 1987 and all the way back to 1946.
Is this simply a case of ideological impulse frustrated by insufficient follow-through ("a revolution deserves a new republic"), or yet another characteristic instance of historical muddling through ("a revolution and a restoration")?
Since the 1987 Constitution does not in fact stipulate the creation of a Fifth Republic, the conduct of the lawmaking bodies may give us the answer. While a marked difference separates Commonwealth legislation (Commonwealth Acts) from laws created by the Third Republic (Republic Acts) and legislation manufactured under Marcos' incipient Fourth Republic (Batas Pambansa), none at all exists between the laws of the Third Republic and those of the Fifth.
Perhaps there, really, is no Fifth?

To my column defending a problematic news report on Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, reader Hermilando Aberia responded with a short, memorable rejoinder. "Of course, John. How can one expect you to say otherwise? Kind protects kind." I wish to thank Mr. Aberia for using his real name; very few of the many commenters in the Inquirer's opinion pages online bother with this elementary courtesy. I appreciate the gesture.
Secondly, I wish to ask him to reconsider his view that "of course," it is a law of nature that "kind protects kind."
As far as the facts of my writing are concerned, it is incorrect. In my occasional media criticism, I have occasionally been very critical of media indeed. But as far as the theory itself is concerned, it is not only wrong; it is based on an impoverished view of human nature. If "kind protects kind," no one can rise above class or education or the limits of experience to criticize, much less to dialogue.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi warned on Tuesday that Thursday's Foreign Secretary-level talks with India would not achieve progress if its scope was limited to "a narrow agenda" of terrorism-related issues.
Pakistan wanted "a meaningful dialogue" with India on a broad range of bilateral issues "that are of concern to both sides," including Kashmir, said Mr. Qureshi, who is here on a five-day official visit.
Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao indicated on Monday that the talks would mostly be restricted to India's "core concerns" over cross-border terrorism.
The Pakistani Foreign Minister said, "Doing so would be a very narrow way of looking at real challenges." "We want all issues that are of concern to both sides to be brought on the table so that dialogue is serious, meaningful and will be result-oriented."
Mr. Qureshi was speaking at the China Institute of International Studies, an influential Beijing think-tank.
"If India restricts the agenda or tries to narrow it down to its own immediate needs, then I am afraid much progress will not be achieved," he said.
Pakistan sought an early resumption of the composite dialogue, which was suspended following the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai. Thursday's Foreign Secretary-level talks in New Delhi would serve as "an exploratory meeting". He called on both sides to adopt "a constructive approach" with a view to "taking the next step of resuming the composite dialogue."
In his visit to China, Mr. Qureshi has briefed senior officials, including Premier Wen Jiabao and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, on Pakistan's progress in tackling terrorism.
China has, in the past, expressed concern over links between some Pakistani-based terror outfits and extremist groups in its troubled Xinjiang region, which borders Pakistan.
On Tuesday, Mr. Qureshi said Pakistan "had taken prominent steps" in clamping down on terror groups. He rejected suggestions that Pakistan had not done enough in bringing to justice the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks, instead blaming "political considerations" for India's decision to suspend the dialogue.
"After 14 months, India has reengaged with us and invited us for a dialogue," he said. "I think there is a growing realisation within India that [suspending the dialogue] was a negative, knee-jerk reaction that was counterproductive."
Asked about concerns in India that Pakistan had not done enough to dismantle terror networks operating on its soil, he said the two countries needed "more engagement and more co-operation," irrespective of their differing views on Pakistan's actions. He said Pakistan was "as much a victim [of terror], perhaps more" than India was.
He added: "For the sake of discussion, even if we agree we have not done enough [on terror], does that quality for suspending dialogue? Or does that invite greater understanding and co-operation? I think the answer is… more engagement, sitting across the table and making the other person understand each other's concerns. Not the policy India followed, of suspending talks."
