good job3/15/2012
did not pay much for these but my children absolutely admire them. the only issue is a bit iffy turning on and off for some of the lights but for what i paid i got a bit more than i expected.
Makes great little gifts for Grandchildren.3/15/2012
Besides placing on key chains, they can be hung wherever a light may be needed, eg. fuse/breaker box, furnace controls, medicine cabinet, front door, auto glove box or fuse panel, under the hood, A/V equipment controls.
Good Product3/15/2012
They work as promised.
Great deal!3/15/2012
Great deal for these flashlights!
Great items for the money3/15/2012
These little flashlights are pretty darn amazing for the cost. They were packaged very well and the color assortment makes them perfect to give as little gifts. They are secured with a plastic protector to prevent accidentally running down the batteries during shipping. Overall, very good product - wish I had ordered more.
Love the size and colors !!!3/14/2012
Very cute and love the colors! Fast and great shipment. I am concerned with having to replace all the little batteries when they die, though.
Quality Product3/14/2012
Flashlights are small but the build quality is really good. Purchased these as giveaways to go with new car keys.
Too cute!3/14/2012
Love these little flashlights! Decided to buy them after a power outage and couldn't find 1 flashlight in my entire house. I now have one in every room as well as the car, my purse, backpack, etc. Love the colors and that each come with a matching carabiner. Had planned to use a few as stocking stuffers next Christmas, but after seeing them, I want them all for myself! I can't speak to battery consumption yet, but they yield ample light for their size. Kids love these, too!
Let there be lights!3/14/2012
This is a very fine deal. Lights are conveniently small for toting anywhere. These are not super-bright (one led per flashlight), but they perform well enough to serve most situations. What they lack in lumen output they make up for in convenient size and number (with the ten pack you can put them around the house, where ever you might need them). Individual cute little boxes for each flashlight make them useful as stocking stuffers or party favors.
Great little gifts, only 285 days until Christmas!3/14/2012
I know you may think I'm crazy, but I'm always on the look out for stocking stuffers and these are perfect. Each one is in it's own little color coded box. Perfect for gift giving. The only problem I had was deciding what color to keep for myself!
Skil flashlights3/14/2012
Great buy!
shiny flashlight3/14/2012
Got these to use for an Easter gift. All delivered as described easy transaction, thanks
Great Little Lights3/14/2012
For their size, they give a good amount of light. The quality of the aluminum cases seem to be a very high level and the clip is very useful for keys or attaching to a belt loop.
worth the money3/14/2012
These were smaller than I had anticipated. But they are still handy. WIth 12 of them I can put one about anyplace and we'll have a spare light. They use a pack of those fairly small round hearing aid type batteries. I'll be curious to see how long they stay charged.
Great flashlight3/14/2012
For only a single LED, these lights are pretty bright. Excellent if you need a very small, lightweight light for task lighting.
If you are in the market for small flash lights, this is a good set and a good value.
Cool little lights3/14/2012
A great set of lights for kids and random places like the car.
Great Value3/14/2012
Excellant quality, should be durable. Prompt delivery too.
12 points of light3/14/2012
You can never have too many light sources. These are lightweight, durable, and just plain fun!
Don't bother3/12/2012
These flashlights have one led each and they put out barely any light. Waste of money, but you get what you pay for. Maybe you can tape them all together and make a decent light.
Bright light3/8/2012
Great deal on useful little flashlights. Sturdy carabiners and surprisingly bright light from the led. The on off switch is just turning the flashlight head left or right, I prefer a switch, but for the price, it is a great flashlight.
very cute mini flashlight(s)3/8/2012
I can't vouch for durability or quality since I just got the set of 12 mini-flashlights. I can say that I tried one of them out and it worked just fine. Being as they cost under $1 each, I am very pleased just that they work and can attach to backpacks, keychains, etc.
Great little lights3/8/2012
Incredible price
Important tip before you buy these !!!3/7/2012
There is no power on/off switch, the way you start on is tighten the led receptacle and loosen to turn it off. This may very easily cause the led receptackle to come loose, drop out and be gone making the light useless.
LED Carbiner Key-chain Flashlights3/7/2012
Very nice...rapid (free) shipment, good value (small LED Carbiner Key-chain Flashlights).
Immaculate transaction3/7/2012
As good as it gets - accurate, delivered quickly and protected well - what more could you ask for? A++
Mini flashlights and carribeeners3/7/2012
Perfect for clipping on to anything a emergency light will be needed. Small and convenient.
Smaller than I thought, but effective3/7/2012
These are well-made little flashlights that I'll stow here and there wherever I've needed a light and had to go hunt one down. That's the beauty of getting 12 of these at once. They live up to the Skil brand name in quality, but are not the 5" or so flashlights that I expected. (I guess I didn't read well enough). The flashlight itself is only 2" long, and the loop and clip add a little more length. Despite the size, they put out decent light. Because they each require 4 button batteries, I'm considering them throw-aways, but that's OK because I got them at a great price.
As you cannot tell the size of these from the photos, you will be surprised at how small these so-called flashlights actually are. Somehow, I even received double the number that I ordered. Furthermore, they took a long time to arrive and when they did, all that I wanted to do was return them. Steer clear!
A Novelity3/7/2012
Arrived in good time. Well packaged. Neat colored sub-packaging.
Good Prodcuct, fast delivery3/7/2012
Great little flashligts for keychains, at a buck a piece!
small flashlites3/7/2012
Good deal. Useful, one of 12 flashlights didn't work correctly.
love these flashlights3/7/2012
I love all of the colors! The light is pretty bright for such a little flashlight.
Cool little flashlights3/7/2012
These flashlights are small and very strong for their size. The perfect gadget to attach to your keys or purse or belt loop. I am very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend to others. The shipping was fast too.
Neat Little Bright Flashlights!3/7/2012
What can you say about a flashlight? Either it works or it doesn't. These do- very bright aluminum mini lights that are pocket sized. The only reason I didn't give them 5-Stars across the board is that there is no real on/off switch. You unscrew the lens a turn or two to turn it off, but if you keep it in your pocket it may turn on as it moves around. Still a great little light for under a buck delivered!
too small3/7/2012
too small, easy to lose parts
Very Tiny flashlights3/7/2012
These are the smallest flashlights I have ever seen. They use 4 small hearing aid type batteries that are cased in a plastic holder. I see no way to change the batteries and if you did it would cost more than the flashlight is work. So when battery is dead plan on tossing them out.
Nice little set3/7/2012
Nice product, arrived on time and they are really pretty cool, love the colors, I'll never be short of a flashlight now.
Great Deal3/7/2012
This is a great deal, the light is really bright and the colors of the flashlights are great, I would recomend this to everyone.
Good Experience3/7/2012
After finding the tab to unlock the battery power, this product worked better than I thought the little flashlight would.

Night sky spectacles expected this year
popular .
THE YEAR 2013 is one of the good years for those who love to check the night skies. Two comets that will be visible to the naked eye highlight the clumping of five planets, two lunar eclipses and eight meteor showers.
Here are some of the most notable stellar events we should look forward to and pray a cloudless sky for.
1 The world heaved a sigh of relief last Jan. 9 when the 325-meter-wide "doomsday asteroid" 99942 Apophis got closer to Earth at just 14.5 million kilometers (that's 37 times the Earth-Moon distance). This same asteroid, named after an Egyptian demon, is expected to come uncomfortably close in 2029, brushing past the Earth at a distance of just 30,000 kilometers or inside the orbit of communication satellites.
The 57-meter 2012 DA14 will pass much closer to Earth than our geostationary satellites as its flyby-will pass just 34,500 kilometers away from us! If it did enter the Earth's atmosphere and explode, the force would be enough to destroy a major city.
2 The year 2013 is set to become a two-comet year. In March, a good seven months before Ison starts its slow glide across the night sky, Comet Panstarrs will be—if it lives up to predictions—another bright streak in the evening sky.
3 A Partial lunar eclipse will take place on April 26—the first of three lunar eclipses in 2013. Here in the Philippines, we will be able to view the event at around 4 a.m. Expect the northern half of the moon to get darker as it enters the penumbral (partially shaded region as opposed to the darkest area of the shadow) cast by our home planet.
4 On April 28, the ringed planet Saturn will be closest to Earth and its "face" will be fully illuminated by the Sun. This is the best time for those with telescopes to view and photograph Saturn and its moons.
5 Sky gazers will have a feast around sunset of May 29 as planets Venus, Jupiter and Mercury will appear clumped together on the western horizon. The planet Mars will also make its own appearance in the evening sky but rises in the east a few hours after sunset.
6 Sky gazers may be in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in October as we expect to witness a comet (if calculations are correct) whose glow and tail could outshine the Moon!
According to a National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronomer, the newly discovered Comet Ison may hover into view without the help of a telescope from October 2013 through January 2014.
The last time a really bright comet was visible in the sky was when Hale-Bopp passed by in 1997.
Don't have a decent telescope to observe these events? If you're here in Metro Manila, there are two astronomical observatories to go to (in Pagasa inside the University of the Philippines Diliman campus in Quezon City and the Manila Observatory inside the Ateneo de Manila University campus, also in Quezon City) as well as private amateur astronomers based at the Seven Suites Hotel Observatory on Sumulong Highway in Antipolo City or those connected with the Astronomical League of the Philippines (email@example.com).

Ikebukuro Matsuri – Biggest Festival in Toshima Ward
Two weekends ago I visited the annual Ikebukuro Matsuri, which is the biggest festival in Toshima Ward, one of the biggest of the 23 central Tokyo special wards. At one time Ikebukuro was famous for being the spot in the world with more square feet department store than anywhere else, but the recent death of department stores have lead to there being of these. The number of visitors to the festival keeps increasing however, with this year's festival the busiest ever. I arrived very late to the West exit area of Ikebukuro but saw my favorite omikoshi in Tokyo – the death defying balls of steel no fear omikoshi (as I call it). They stop regularly on their route and tip the omikoshi violently and rapidly back and forth, urging each other to go deeper and deeper. I can not imagine anything that would bring me more mortal fear than being underneath this omikoshi as it tips over, a ton of wood and steel being inches from crushing you stopped at the last moment by tired, sweaty, possibly drunk, neighbors and friends. Still, it is utterly fascinating to watch. Like bungee jumping, but the other way around.
Ikebukuro is famous for being far more rough and tumble than the rest of Tokyo so it is only natural that their festivals take on a slightly wilder nature!
Although the many omikoshi is the main draw of the festival (there are dozens) a lot of people come for the music performances, food stalls, Okinawan dance troupes and taiko drummers. It is an interesting festival to watch!
Ikebukuro Fukuro Matsuri – Festival
Back at the end of September this year I visited the annual Fukuro matsuri being held every year at in Ikebukuro's west area. It is a huge multi day festival where omikoshi teams from all neighborhoods in the area take part. I have blogged about it several times before but every year I see something different. As usual I arrived a little bit late, but just in time to see the omikoshi teams start their parade around pass the Ikebukuro Station West Exit and into the entertainment district to the south west of the station. There must be thousands of participants dressed in the traditional hanten, the short coats that you can see a lot of in these photos. I still haven't gone through all the photos I took so there will probably be more to come!
Omikoshi On Crowded Streets
Summer is over and on comes the sad feeling of not being able to enjoy many more festivals. I know I have probably visited more festivals than 99.9% of the population of Japan this year, but I still crave more. Luckily the big one is coming up soon, the massive Kawagoe Matsuri that I have blogged so much about in the last few years. It's on this weekend in Saitama prefecture's Kawagoe City, and if you can only attend one single Japanese festival in your life, this might well be the one to aim for! It's an easy train ride from Tokyo so there's no excuse if you're anywhere near the Kanto area. It's going to be very very crowded, so if this weeks bad weather continues you might be in for a lucky break, as rain always means fewer people. Still, I wouldn't expect less than a million people crowded into the narrow streets of Hon-Kawagoe! Talking about crowded streets, here's a few photos I took at Ikebukuro's Fukuro Matsuri a month ago. You don't want to stand in the way of these omikoshi teams!
Okinawa Dancers – Ikebukuro Festival
Last months huge Fukuro Matsuri in Tokyo's northern Ikebukuro district had the same fantastic Okinawan dancers as the last time I visited the festival in 2010. Okinawan dancing is slow, rhythmic and very colorful. For all the times I have visited Okinawa I have yet to see a real Okinawan dancers in their native land! There is something very "nostalgic" about the sound of this kind of music and it makes even a total foreigner like feel "homesick" for Okinawa. I wonder if other people also feel this?

ROCKFORD — A judge's ruling this week to keep researching whether Catholic groups in other cities can still receive state money to provide child welfare services won't affect Catholic Charities in Rockford, which has already transitioned its foster care cases to an agency in Ottawa.
ROCKFORD — A judge's ruling this week to keep researching whether Catholic groups in other cities can still receive state money to provide child welfare services won't affect Catholic Charities in Rockford, which has already transitioned its foster care cases to an agency in Ottawa.
Dioceses in Joliet, Peoria and Springfield were granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday that allows them to continue serving nearly 2,000 Illinois children through foster care and adoptions.
State officials tried not to renew the contracts for those Catholic Charities organizations because the groups had asked to continue referring nonmarried couples — including same-sex couples — to other agencies, which today would violate the state's new civil unions law. The Catholic agencies had asked legislators for a religious exception to the law — because working with those couples would conflict with Catholic teachings — but the request was denied.
Catholic Charities in Rockford announced in May that it would be exiting the state-funded foster care and adoption business and started to transition nearly 300 foster care cases to Ottawa-based Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley. That transition is mostly complete, and Youth Service Bureau hired most of Catholic Charities' foster care staff and assumed leases for three satellite offices in Aurora, Elgin and Rockford.
The injunction granted Tuesday doesn't affect Rockford because the Diocese of Rockford decided to end its state adoption and foster care services before any of the court actions took place, diocese spokeswoman Penny Wiegert said.
"While we are pleased that (Judge John Schmidt) ruled in favor of the agencies in the Dioceses of Joliet, Springfield and Peoria, it appears to be a short-term solution," Wiegert said in an email. "We feel there is still a very real level of uncertainty that exists for these agencies until the Illinois Legislature can pass a definitive amendment that clarifies the intent and language of the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act."
Dara Purvis, a visiting assistant law professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said she wasn't particularly surprised by Tuesday's ruling, but she thinks the case is clear enough "that I would not have ruled the same way."
"I understand the argument that children being served by Catholic Charities have already experienced upheaval in their lives, so it is in their best interest to maintain the status quo until a final decision is made," Purvis said in an email. "In my opinion, the state of Illinois should win in the final decision, so the administrative shift to other agencies might as well happen sooner rather than later."
Regarding the transition of Rockford's Catholic Charities cases to Youth Service Bureau, there are still some logistical tasks on the to-do list, but the transition is complete for the most part, said Kendall Marlowe, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Marlowe said the department "fully respects the spirit and the letter" of what Schmidt decided on Tuesday.
Page 2 of 2 - "It preserves the status quo while the court has time to consider the underlying issues in this case," Marlowe said.

The Board of Registration of Cosmetology ("Board") voted at its meeting on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 to allow students to obtain certain credits from vocational schools not previously allowed by Board regulations. In making this allowance, the Board reiterates that all other regulations are to be fully adhered to and will be enforced, however, pending the next regulation change which will formally codify this allowance, the Board has deemed the enforcement of the letter of the regulation as written to be not in the best interests of the public.
Policy No. 09-01
To relax the requirements of 240 CMR 4.07(2) and grant credit to students in vocational programs who are the age of 16 or older and have attained at least the sophomore level of a school providing a Board approved vocational cosmetology program which has met Board requirements.
As written, 240 CMR 4.07(2) states the following:
"No student may be granted credit for hours completed in a program prior to attaining the age of 16 years. No student may be granted credit for hours completed during the freshman or sophomore [sic] year of a program or as part of an "exploratory" or similarly titled program."
Effective immediately, the Board will accept hours completed by a vocational student 16 years of age or older who is in their sophomore year of school (there is no change to the prohibition on credit for "exploratory" type programs). In allowing this change, the Board is in no way allowing vocational schools to change their cosmetology programs or other curriculum to take advantage of this allowance without prior Board approval.

Weimar is the town of Goethe and Schiller and is found in Thuringia (Thüringen) state, Germany. It is one of the all-time favorites with German school classes (or rather their teachers) because of the high density of both cultural (Goethe, Schiller) and historic (Weimar republic, a former Nazi concentration camp close by) sights.
Get in[edit]
Weimar is a small town with lots of tourists, most of whom come in on coaches for day-visits. Roads can be congested in the mornings and evenings.
By train[edit]
The best and most convienent way is by train. Deutsche Bahn offers direct long-distance-train connections from Berlin, Leipzig, Erfurt and Frankfurt. Regional trains connect from Göttingen and Jena, Gera. Weimar Hauptbahnhof is about a kilometre from Goetheplatz, in the city's center: you can
- walk: A pleasant ten-minute stroll downhill is a good way to stretch your legs after the train-ride. Cross the square in front of the station and walk down Carl-August-Allee. Go around the right of the building at the end of this road (the Neues Museum), and continue walking in the same direction, now on Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse, continue across the crossing and you soon find yourself in the city centre.
- take a bus: lines 2, 3, 3A, 3B, and 6 will bring you to Goetheplatz within a few minutes. One-way tickets cost €1.60.
Travelers with Thüringen-Ticket and VMT-Hopper-Tickets can use this ticket on the local transport, too.
By car[edit]
Weimar is connected to the Autobahn A4.
By plane[edit]
The nearest airport is in Erfurt [1] but few connections and high fares make it only feasible for business travellers.
The Leipzig Halle Airport (IATA code LEJ) is the closest airport for all intents and purposes. It is an international airport, with most major cities one stop away. from the airport take the S-Bahn to either Leipzig or Halle main-station (if you arrive in Leipzig you have to go up the escalators to change to long distance and regional trains, as the tunnel only serves S-Bahn) and change onto long-distance or regional trains there. The Sachsen-Ticket is valid for the S-Bahn as well as for all regional trains (RE and RB) in Saxony, Sachsen-Anhalt and Thüringen, so unless you are in a hurry it is probably your best option.
By bus[edit]
Weimar also has some domestic bus lines passing through
Get around[edit]
Weimar is small and the best way to get around is by foot or by bike. The city has a public transport system but as a tourist you won't need it. At night taxis come in handy when you feel lost and they are used to cater tourists.
Weimar is one of the most historic sites in Germany. It was home of Goethe and Schiller, the two most famous German poets and writers. The first fully democratic German constitution that was enacted was passed in Weimar's national theatre, hence the name Weimar republic for the period of 1919-1933 in German history. Later Weimar became one of the centres of the Bauhaus architecture movement along with Dessau.
- Bauhaus-University Weimar and the Haus am Horn. part of the Bauhaus Sites protected by UNESCO
- Stadtschloss (City Castle). Home of the biggest sponsor of Goethe and Schiller. Art gallery.
- Anna Amalia Bibliothek - Unique library and art selection, famous for it's rococo style. A fire in 2004 did great damage but the library reopened in 2007.
- Nationaltheater. Foundation place of the first German democracy in 1918 and successor of the Weimar Hof theatre where Goethe's premiers took place. Well known theatre today.
- Park an der Ilm. A picturesque garden with Goethes summer house. Lie down on the lawn and enjoy the scenery.
- Belvedere. A charming park with summer castle a short distance to the south of the city.
- Goethe–Schiller Monument (in the Theaterplatz). This is a very famous statue of two of the most important Romantic German writers.
- Bauhaus-Museum, Theaterplatz. Weimar is the birthplace of Bauhaus
The best thing is to take a guided tour through the town as most buildings have a story. Either you have time or plan a tour through all buildings of interest.
The nation of thinkers and poets (Land der Dichter und Denker) became a country of judges and hangmen(Richter und Henker) in the period from 1933-45. To complement the experience of Weimar, the cultural capital, make the short trip to the Buchenwald Memorial just 10 kilometers outside town. This is a good experience to see how close genius and nightmare of German history can come.
- Weimar Haus: Das Geschichtserlebnis (The History Experience), Schillerstr. 16. An excellent introduction to Weimar.
- pèlerinages Kunstfest Weimar. annual event during late summer, four weeks full of cultural events and activities.

The area is also famous for its cakes, such as the Zupfkuchen, all widely available generally costing around €1.
There are many good restaurants in the city catering to the tourist market selling all manner of cuisine, and with the compact nature of the city you can never be far away from the food you are wanting.
- Pizzeria Da Antonio, Windischenstraße 33, Weimar. 10.00-24.00. A friendly, cheap Italian restaurant with 90 main dishes to choose from, including 45 types of pizza and many salads or pasta dishes.

Llapingacho at Restaurant Ecuador; chopping pork at Carnitas el Paisa
August 10, 2007
With a population more than 60 percent Hispanic, Logan Square is home to a predictable number of Mexican restaurants, but other, less mainstream Latin American culinary traditions are represented as well. What follows is a guide to some of the tiny restaurants, taquerias, and other holes-in-the-wall that dot the area.
Most of these neighborhood spots are best for lunch—many close before dinner, some as early as 1 or 2 PM. One of the few to stay open into the night is Taqueria Moran (2226 N. California), where the battalions of hip-looking gringos speak to the broad appeal of capably prepared Mexican classics (though the menu offers Puerto Rican jibaritos and Cuban sandwiches as well). You can come for breakfast chilaquiles and machaca (the dried beef of northern Mexico), or drop in after dark when the wasted and wounded wind down their evenings with Denver omelets and fajitas.
Within a block or so of Taqueria Moran, vans parked along Milwaukee serve home-cooked Mexican chow to lines of regulars early on weekend mornings. At a couple less mobile establishments nearby, you'll also find the distinctive cuisine of Cuba and Ecuador. The real prize at Cafe Marianao (2246 N. Milwaukee), essentially a sandwich shop for more than 30 years, is the Cuban, a combo of ham, roast pork, cheese, mustard, and pickle on French-type bread toasted in a clamshell press that crisps both sides and marries the ingredients, yielding a food exponentially greater than the sum of its parts. Up the street is El Condor (2349 N. Milwaukee), an Ecuadorian grocery store where for $6 you can get a platter loaded with meat and sides (weekends only). I've had excellent chicken here and recently enjoyed the carnitas, which unlike the Mexican version are simply roast pork chunks, moist and delicious, and menudo, a pleasing rendition of diced tummy mixed with potatoes and succotash—flavorful but not overpowering.
You've got to admire a place that does just one thing and does it right. One of my favorite such spots, Birrieria Estilo Jalisco (2230 N. Western), does goat. Popular in Jalisco, birria is steamed goat served in tacos or in a simple, marvelously flavorful broth with fresh lime, onion, and cilantro. Birriería Estilo Jalisco also offers steamed goat head meat and tongue—the former somewhat crispy and oily, the latter more spongy and mild. Both benefit from a blast of house-made salsa (shake well).
Jumping over to Fullerton and Central Park you'll come upon Carnitas El Pasa (3529 W. Fullerton), a monument to the glories of pig. Here, the muumuu-clad hostess proudly presents the "little meats" of Michoacan, prepared much like French confit, simmered in huge kettles of lard and marvelously flavorful. There's also a very good cochinita pibil, the Yucatecan dish of suckling pig marinated in bitter orange juice and achiote, steamed in a banana leaf, and laid out in lush threads.
A few steps further west is El Pacifico (3534 W. Fullerton). I usually like to go "beyond the burrito," but here I surrendered to Tex-Mex. The chimichangas are well made, packed with meat, cheese, and grease, and while the nachos fall short of mind-blowing, they're at least splashed with Chihuahua cheese rather than some yellow glop, and the guacamole actually tastes like avocado. Neither are going to win any awards, but they fit the bill and fill the belly.
Head north to El Guanaco (3802 W. Diversey) to sample El Salvador's key contributions to the culinary world. The signature plato salvadoreño is pupusa, a soft, freshly griddled cornmeal pancake stuffed with cheese and meat, beans, or the more exotic loroco, a subtle, slightly bitter flower native to the country. With the pupusas (as with arepas, their Colombian cousins), you get a bowl of curtido, or pickled cabbage, surprisingly complementary. If you're looking for a light meal, you'd do well to get just a pupusa or two and ladle on this piquant condiment.
Wander back east along Diversey and you'll hit Zacatecas Mexican Restaurant (2934 W. Diversey). In the northern state of Zacatecas they've been munching nopales—young prickly pear cactus pads—since before the Spanish anchored their big boats offshore; here, the nopales salad with poblano pepper and cheese is quite good, the cactus very fresh and moist with a hint of spice. And the guisado de puerco, or pork stew, is excellent—meaty with a piquant green sauce. The seasoning in most dishes, however, is restrained.
This tour ends at what may be the most interesting little Logan Square place I found: Restaurant Ecuador (2923 W. Diversey). A recent meal kicked off with a terrific ceviche of black clam, a deep and chewy bivalve in its own rich black liquor. Chivo de seco, a goat stew, was equally flavorful, with tender chunks of meat in a light tomato sauce alongside rice tinted with achiote and sprinkled with crisp, sweet plantain. Llapingacho, a traditional dish, is a pair of potato pancakes, crisp on the outside and creamy within, dressed with two fried eggs and a salty Ecuadorian sausage, splashed with the peanut sauce characteristic of the region. You can finish up with a dessert of figs and cheese or morocho, hominy cooked in cinnamon and milk. —David Hammond

Further tightening of capital requirements on insurers eyed
Insurers encouraged to expand, merge
popular .
The Insurance Commission is inclined to further tighten capital requirements imposed on insurance companies, citing the need to continue enhancing the industry's competitiveness.
The capital requirements on insurers were raised last month with the enactment of the amended Insurance Code.
Insurance Commissioner Emmanuel Dooc, however, said it would be prudent to further tighten these requirements in the next few years.
In particular, Dooc said the regulator was poised to implement the risk-based system of capitalization. Under the system, insurance firms are required to set aside additional capital every time its risk exposure increases, such as when it expands or offer new products.
"Eventually we will be moving toward the risk-based approach of capitalization," Dooc said.
According to Dooc, the pending integration of Southeast Asian economies in 2015 necessitates measures to improve the industry's competitiveness. Having tighter capital requirements, he said, would help ensure that local insurance companies could better compete with their foreign counterparts.
Under the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) integration, barriers to trade and investments will be lifted to boost economic activities in the region. An expected consequence, however, is the potential shutdown of weak and small companies.
Dooc said that if a follow-up to the latest hike in capital requirements was implemented, insurance companies in the Philippines, particularly small industry players, would be encouraged to expand or merge.
Last month, the amended Insurance Code took effect. One of its highlights was the provision for the increase in capital requirements.
The law grants the Insurance Commission the authority to further tighten capital requirements through the implementation of the risk-based system if deemed necessary.
Under the new law, the required net worth—defined as the sum of paid-up capital, retained earnings, unimpaired surplus and revalued assets—was set at P250 million this year, P550 million effective June 30, 2016, P900 million starting June 30, 2019 and P1.3 billion by June 30, 2022.

The Rakes
London's Art Brut are unquestionably the best band in the current UK meta-rock scene. You know meta-rock: groups of hip young fashion plates writing songs about being hip young fashion plates writing songs (occasionally about being hip young fashion plates...). Second best are the Cribs, a trio of Wakefield brothers whose "Hey Scenesters!" sounds exactly like the Pixies doing Art Brut's "Formed a Band." Bronze goes to either Brakes or the Rakes. (This business with the names has to have been premeditated.) Led by a guy who's played keyboards for British Sea Power, Brighton-based Brakes are funnier; their "Heard About Your Band" sounds exactly like Bobcat Goldthwait doing Art Brut's "Formed a Band." But the Rakes have better riffs.
Nearly every song on Capture/Release, the London foursome's debut full-length (out since last summer in England), pivots on a sleek but tough little guitar figure you'll swear you half-remember from some old Wire record. Matthew Swinnerton must've been born with that jagged post-punk downstroke coded in his bones. Though it's gratifying to hear Swinnerton run the show in cuts like "22 Grand Job," which the guitarist drives with an arpeggio that revolves as quickly as singer Alan Donohoe wishes the office clock would, Capture really cooks when Swinnerton's bandmates try to rein him in. In "Open Book," for instance, they surround his steel wool jabs with Motown finger snaps, a Squeeze bass line, even a trumpet part. Yet what you identify with is the riff, yearning to be free.

Central in the duties of the medical phlebotomist is the collection of blood samples from patients. These duties may involve the taking of samples of blood from newborn babies and their mothers on the maternity floor. Duties also could be taking samples from the elderly and young adults. The interaction with new people on a day to day basis requires extraordinary patience and a sense of empathy with the patients that you deal with.Read More...
Another duty is making the decision about what the best method is to withdraw the blood samples, considering the age and the health of your patient. Duties include the practicing of correct infection control procedures with all patients. It is required that the Medical Phlebotomist practice the proper procedures of patient identifications at all times, especially when working on the floors of a hospital. Another duty is making certain of labeling vials with the correct patient names and dates. Responsibilities also include keeping your phlebotomy cart and/or station well-organized at all times. Most of the time, the Medical Phlebotomist is also responsible for bringing all blood samples to the laboratory. The responsibilities may include the need to centrifuge blood samples, depending on the guidelines given.
At least a high school diploma is usually required for this position. A bachelor's degree in biology or a related field is often preferred.

While not commonly seen, Medical Phlebotomists who transition into a Physician Assistant position may see a rise in pay. The median salary for Physician Assistants is $82K per year. A more likely transition for Medical Phlebotomists is Phlebotomist or Registered Nurse (RN).
Survey results suggest that Medical Phlebotomists use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Geriatrics, Pediatrics, Customer Service, and Data Entry are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 11 percent and 13 percent. Most people who know Customer Service also know Data Entry.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Medical Phlebotomists, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $25K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $29K. Medical Phlebotomists bring in $31K after working for 10 to 20 years. Medical Phlebotomists who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $33K.

Wimmer performance modification of the C63 AMG V8 Motor with standard 6.3-liter engine includes above all things sports camshaft and the cylinder head reworked. Manifold, down pipe and high flow catalytic converters are the next stages. After optimization of the air intake, installation of a stainless steel exhaust system and a sport air filter adaptation by WIMMER-Motorelektronik goes without saying. The result of all these measures is powerful 601 hp and 720 Nm of torque – a by no means despised value. The total result is ultimately power to weight ratio of 2.79 kg / hp. As a result, in comparison with the approved Vmax of 306 km/h, the "unlocked" Vmax value can now reach 329 km/h. The engine conversion by WIMMER costs 19900 Euro.
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG C63 AMG comes with the BBS CH-R alloy wheels in dimensions of 8.5 or 9.5 x 19 inches. The car is fitted with the Dunlop tires in the dimensions of 235/35-19 at the front axle and 265/35-19 – at the rear axle. The in-house suspension proposed at 3600 Euros was installed again.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
"That fight gave meaning to my life," this son of a baker, born in the casbah, said of his role as a guerrilla leader in the FLN (the Algerian National Liberation Front). He was in New York for the 1965 film's re-release by Rialto Pictures. "I had to help combat the injustice of a colonization that had lasted for 130 years," he continued. "Of course, I was afraid. Directing a revolutionary movement while on the run is hard work. But when I was in prison, chained at the ankles and condemned to death, I wasn't unhappy. I had fought. It was the price I had to pay. I kept thinking, let me be lucid enough so that when they lead me to the guillotine, I remember to shout, 'Long live Algeria!' "
In The Battle of Algiers (currently at Film Forum), Ali La Pointe (Brahim Haggiag), a petty delinquent, witnesses such a scene from his prison cell; released in 1954, he joins the FLN, whose struggle to wrest control of the country from the French was then beginning. Yacef plays his commander. The film details the escalating violence of those years, as French settlers and counter-insurgency forces resorted to increasingly desperate measures against a deadly, faceless enemy, hidden within the casbah's narrow streets and among its 80,000 inhabitants. "The people won the war," Yacef explained, of the film's panoramic portrait of a civilian population in which every pretty girl might have a bomb in her pocketbook, "so you couldn't just talk about a single hero. You had to talk about the people."
Pardoned from a death sentence by French president Charles de Gaulle's general amnesty in 1958, Yacef penned his memoirs while still in prison. Liberated after the war's end in 1962, and aided by the new Algerian government, he created the production company Casbah Films, and hired the Italian Gillo Pontecorvo as director. Shot over five months in the streets of the capital, the film has the freshness and urgency of newsreel footage. "In 1965," Yacef said, "the wound was still bleeding."
Long banned in France, The Battle of Algiers has been studied by revolutionary groups from the IRA to the Tamil Tigers. Yet its portrait of the French occupier, embodied in actor Jean Martin's charismatic Colonel Mathieua humanist who nevertheless understands the need for tortureis surprisingly nuanced and complex. (There were, after all, real fascists on the French side in Algeria; Jean-Marie Le Pen, now leader of the far-right French political party the National Front, was one of them.)
"I tried to make the film as balanced as possible," said Yacef. "There was violence on both sidestorture on one side, and bombs on the other. In fact, it was a stalemate. History really won the war, in deciding for our independence."
The Pentagon recently held an open screening of The Battle of Algiers for its staff, seeking to draw tactical lessons for the conflict in Iraq and against Al Qaeda. But the parallels, Yacef explained, are limited.
"The terrain is different geographically and socially," he said, "even if terrorism with bombs and knives is pretty much the same everywhere." (Algeria, where Yacef now serves as a senator, has also undergone recent waves of violence by right-wing Muslim extremists.) But suicide bombing is something his movement would never have condoned. "The Koran says that anyone who commits suicide goes to hell," Yacef insisted. "People should cite that more often."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It may sound like a West Side Story-style love story, but some dogs love big cats. Cheetahs are the fastest mammal...
Once I've profiled someone's breed, I have a better grasp on how to win him or her over. It's habitual and fun. By applying the same, positive dog training techniques found in my books, I've found great amusement in getting to know all types.

Tourance light spot marks
I got a new set of Tourance's for the GSA today. The front has the standard two dots indicating the light spot, but also has a yellow brown mark. Just making sure the two dots are still the light spot and this other mark is for something else. The rear has the two dots only.
Normal two dots:
Other mark:
I wouldn't worry about the other mark. It's probably just marking a defect in the tire of something. :D
Thanks. Got the front mounted and balanced. Took 2oz. but is perfectly balanced. More than the 1.5oz normally, but I'll take it.
I just mounted 2 tourances yesterday. The front took 1 1/4 and the rear was 1/2 oz.
Funny thing is in the front the valve stem was still the lightest spot. The real was about 9 o'clock from the dots.
They seem to be pretty well balanced from the factory.

Earning Your Arkansas High School Diploma!
Adults who have not earned a high school diploma may obtain the Arkansas High School Diploma by taking and passing the General Educational Development Exam (GED). This five-part exam tests skills in the subjects needed for high school graduation. Veterans who were honorably discharged may also qualify for a high school diploma in Arkansas.
Earn your High School Diploma in Arkansas
The GED Test
Adults in Arkansas who do not have a high school diploma may take the General Educational Development (GED) examination to earn their state diploma. The GED is the main statewide option available for adults in Arkansas to earn their high school credential. The GED was created by the American Council on Education (ACE) and administered by the state. Candidates who pass this five-section exam are awarded the Arkansas State High School Diploma. Most employers and institutions of higher learning accept the GED credential as a high school diploma equivalent.
Individuals age 18 and older are eligible to take the GED test in Arkansas if they are not enrolled in any secondary education program and do not have a high school diploma. If you are ages 16 or 17 you may take the test if you have a waiver letter from your last high school stating that you have officially withdrawn from school.
All test takers must show a valid government photo ID and proof they are residents of Arkansas. They must also take and pass the Official GED Practice Test. You may schedule a practice test through an official GED testing center or as part of an adult education GED class. Adult education centers may require additional testing to prove a candidate has at least an eighth grade education before he or she is allowed to take the practice exam.
GED Test
The GED test is composed of sections in Math, Science, Reading, Writing and Social Studies. The writing test includes an essay, and some of the math questions must be answered on a grid. These tests are multiple-choice. GED testing centers provide a calculator for use in a portion of the math test. The Arkansas Department of Career Education website lists general information on the GED subjects. The ACE website (acenet.edu) provides detailed information about the answer grids, calculator and the content of all the tests.
Preparation for the GED
Arkansas provides basic and GED education for those preparing for the GED exams. Classes are open to adults 18 and over. You may locate adult education and GED classes on the Arkansas Department of Career Education website (ace.arkansas.gov) under adult education.
Individuals who prefer to study at home or online may utilize resources on the ACE website, including a practice test and sample questions with answers. Other resources include the PBS Literacy Link's GED Connection course (litlink.ket.org/) and sample questions and workbooks from the Steck-Vaughn Company (secure.practice4ged.com). These books as well as other resources may be available at your local public library or bookstore.
Individuals ages 16 or 17 may take the GED classes with the agreement of their parents or guardians and the GED program administrator. Test takers may have to attend the classes for a specific amount of time per week.
Taking the GED
The GED is neither available online nor by correspondence course. The official test is only given at state-approved testing centers. Contact the nearest testing center for further information and to schedule the practice test and actual exam. Test centers may be found on the ACE website by using the test center locator or on the state Career Education website under GED.
Testing centers may be able to provide the GED test in French or Spanish. These centers may also accommodate persons with learning, mental, physical or emotional disabilities if a qualified professional provides documentation. Contact your test center for more information.
Passing the GED
To obtain a passing score on the GED, you must obtain an average score of 450 on each of the five tests, with a total score of at least 2,250. Also, no test can be below a score of 410. Individuals who do not pass may repeat the failed section, but may have to wait for a specific time period to retake the exam. They may also be required to undergo additional preparation work. Be aware that a test candidate who does not pass the essay portion of the GED writing test must retake both the essay and the multiple-choice section to pass.
Test takers who pass the GED test may receive a diploma and copies of their transcript by contacting the state GED office. The appropriate form is on the Department of Career Education website.
Veterans Diploma
Veterans who do not have a high school diploma because they left school for military service in the Vietnam or Korean wars may be eligible to receive a high school diploma. If you served in the U.S. Armed Forces, are a resident of Arkansas and served at least 18 months or were discharged with a duty-related disability, the state will award you a high school diploma. For more information, contact your local school district through the Arkansas Department of Education website (arkansased.org).

On my end, RT seems to be fairly accurate....or at least good enough.
Two Steam 99S strung to 59 with Gosen Polylon 16 (from TW....not sure what type of machine they use), measured 54 on RT when I received them and before play. That seems reasonable enough to me for a cheap poly that has settled out for 2-3 days after stringing. I used the Gosen Polylon string factor thats already included in the app.
The same frames, after 5-6 sets of use, measure out around 44 on RT.
On the next stringing job, I am going to take measurements more frequently to see how fast tension actually drops off (i.e. does it drop from 54 to 44 after just a few minutes of use and hang out there, or is it a slow progression downward and then a plateau at 44).

|Separate WC's
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
Located only a few blocks from the North Fork's most beautiful beach, this vacation home is the perfect summer getaway. This home features 2 bedrooms, 1 and 1/2 baths, large living room, and large eat in kitchen. The finished basement offers addition space for the kids to play. Off the kitchen is a huge deck with dining set, overlooking a park like backyard. The outdoor Shower is a great way to refresh after a day at the beach. Close proximity to the best North Fork wineries. Perfect location for North Fork's famous Jazz on the Vine!
A long overdue but heartfelt glowing review of Bunny Lane. This inviting home is equally secluded and accessible, situated in a perfect location whether you want to walk to the beach or take a short drive to any of the nearby charming communities. You can walk to Legends for a drink or bite to eat, or dine on the deck in the spacious backyard that offers comfort, privacy, and plenty of room for the kids to run around and explore. The guest book in the home suggests that it has hosted many very satisfied guests who have enjoyed their stay and exploring the area.
The North Fork is one of our favorite places to visit as a family, as it allows us to get away while feeling right at home. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and exactly what we were expecting. Owner was very helpful and accommodating. The back yard was tremendous and my little girl really enjoy it.
We went to Long Island to attend a friend's wedding near Stony Brook, but wanted to find a nice place to spend a few days. And we couldn't have been happier with 410 Bunny Lane. I had not visited the North Fork before and was happily surprised at how beautiful the area was and how well situated the house was. It wasn't too far from central Long Island and everything was easily accessible in the North Fork. We visited a brewery, winery, and went out to Orient Point and the state park. We had great food at Legend's and A Touch of Venice. We were able to take nice walks around New Suffolk. The house was immaculate and well-equipped, roomy and cozy at the same time. The back yard was large, beautifully landscaped, and we spent a good amount of time on the deck admiring the garden. I would return to the same place if I visited the North Fork again, and would recommend the house to anyone.
This is cute, comfortable, clean property with many amenities. Short walk to the beach. Easy drive to wineries, local shops, and restaurants (Love Lane Kitchen and Magic Fountain were favorites). The property owner is extremely nice and responsive. Highly recommended!!
Very good accommodation with beautiful gardens. Enjoyed the birdsong and fireflies. Excellent location with short walk to beach. Easy access to wineries which offer informative tours and live music at weekends. Area is unspoilt with lots of beautiful beaches and rolling countryside. Played cricket on the lawn, saw the Wednesday sailboat race and explored the North Fork, which we preferred to the more commercialised South Fork. Plenty to see and do. A very relaxing holiday.
Sensational property and home. Big rooms, loved the eat-in kitchen, great to have the extra bathroom. Impeccably clean home, deck and yard. Loved how quiet the street was, just the sound of birds and evening crickets yet close enough to walk to the New Suffolk beach. Besides time spent at the beach, we drove to the Montauk Lighthouse, ate at the family-oriented Country Cafe and Ice Cream parlor and had more (!) ice cream at the Mattituck Magic Fountain. Visited Greenport for rides on the Carousel and a boat tour on the Glory with the entertaining Captain David. Needed more time to spend out there! Would highly recommend this property to everyone: couples, families, friends...
Perfectly located on a quiet street in the heart of the North Fork. Only 4 blocks from Legends Restaurant and beautiful New Suffolk Beach.

Putting the agitation of a section of executive pilots behind, Air India has set up an official committee to look into the problems of its employees.
The committee is likely to begin meetings from next week with at least 14 unions representing a cross-section of staffers, including pilots.
The panel, which is a sub-committee of the Air India Board, was set up on Tuesday following which the executive pilots withdrew the agitation against slashing of their productivity-linked incentive (PLI) and flying allowance by 50 per cent.
Besides Air India CMD Arvind Jadhav, the committee comprises Civil Aviation Ministry's Joint Secretary and Financial Adviser E.K. Bharat Bhushan and Joint Secretary Prashant Sukul.
The senior pilots had called off their stir on Tuesday after Air India CMD informed them that the decision to cut PLI and flying allowance had been kept in abeyance till the committee heard the employees and examined all related issues in the context of the turnaround plan for the airline. The panel would submit its recommendations to the Board within two months.
Separate discussions
Discussions would be held with the trade unions separately, the representatives said. The unions would give their representations to the government on how they can contribute in making the national air carrier a profit-making entity.
The trade unions in Air India representing pilots, engineers, officers, cabin crew, technicians, ground handling staff and other employees.
