Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
15 West 56th St & 5th Ave, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Midtown
Chambers bills itself as a Downtown hotel with a Midtown address, and truth be told, that's not far off the mark — up here in the Fifties, off the main shopping drag of Fifth Avenue, the last thing one expects to see is a small boutique hotel with loft-style guest rooms and fashion-forward, subtly Eastern interiors. Yet that's precisely what Chambers is, and its uniqueness has made it something of a hit, miles from both the stuffy high seriousness of the midtown luxury hotels and the relentless whimsy of the youth-market boutiques.
Oversized wooden doors and a towering fireplace open up a surprisingly spacious lobby, remarkable given the limitations of the compact space the hotel has to work with. Upstairs each floor's landing and corridors are individually designed by a different artist — some are upbeat and sunny, others darker and moodier.
Not at all dark or moody, however, are the guest rooms, fashioned after downtown artists' lofts, all open space and rough-finished concrete walls, hung with contemporary artworks and fitted with stylish modern furnishings. Platform beds are piled with fine linens, flat-screen televisions and DVD players are standard, and the sleek modern bathrooms are stocked with Red Flower organic bath products.
Some of the pricier suites come with private terraces, offering sublime city views — these are perfect for entertaining, and sizeable enough for bigger functions if need be. The mezzanine and lobby lounges are a modern midtown meeting point, and outside? If you can't find what you're looking for within five blocks of 56th and 5th, it probably doesn't exist.

What I liked:
This hotel has a great location in midtown and the luxury of almost being invisible when walking by. Sort of like Harry Potter's train station platform location. Everyone was smiling, pleasant and knew us by name after the first night.
The room was by far our favorite in our experience of NYC hotels listed by Tablet. High praise.

|Game 3: Final Wrap
|05.08.09 at 9:58 pm ET
The Magic were in control the entire night as they defeated the Celtics, 117-96, to take a 2-1 series lead in Orlando. The Celtics got off to a slow start and found themselves down 54-41 at halftime. After cutting the lead to single digits, they failed to take advantage of Dwight Howard's five fouls. Even with the Magic's big man on the bench, the Celtics were never able to put together a threatening offensive run. Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 27 points (14-14 FT). Ray Allen shot just 3-for-13 (8 points). Rashard Lewis led all scorers with 28 points. Game 4 will be played on Sunday at the Amway Arena.
|Game 3: Halftime Update
|at 8:33 pm ET
Just as the Magic have a tendency to do, the Celtics fell into the trap of outside shooting in the first half of Game 3. Rather than attack the paint like they have done successfully so many times, the Cs are settling for jumpers. They're not making them either. The Magic are outshooting the Celtics 56% to 41% from the field, while the Celtics have attempted 11 three-pointers and made just two.
The surprise of the night so far is the performance by Anthony Johnson. The Celtics were expected to gain an advantage with the suspension of Rafer Alston but it's Johnson who is leading the Magic offensively. He has hit a game high five field goals (5-7 FG, 11 points).
None of the Celtics, on the other hand, have posted in double figures. Rajon Rondo scored a team-high nine points.
Foul trouble will be the key to the second half. Brian Scalabrine already picked up four personals and Glen Davis has been called for three. None of the Magic have more than two fouls. They shot 13-for-16 from the line.
|Magic get backcourt help
|at 2:02 pm ET
The Orlando Magic suffered a blow when starting point guard Rafer Alston was suspended for Game 3 against the Boston Celtics following his actions against Eddie House. But their backcourt will have help, head coach Stan Van Gundy told the media after Friday's shootaround. Shooting guard Courtney Lee, who has been out of the lineup with a fractured sinus, will be back in the available tonight. He will not start. Lee is averaging 8.4 points per game and shooting 45% FG in his rookie season.
|Game 2: Final Wrap
|05.06.09 at 10:38 pm ET
The Celtics didn't need Paul Pierce (15 minutes, 4 PF) to take care of the Magic in Game 2. The Cs won, 112-94, in a game that ended with Stephon Marbury, Mikki Moore, Tony Allen, Bill Walker, and Gabe Pruitt on the court. Eddie House led all scorers with 31 points (11/14 FG) in 27 minutes. J.J. Redick was ejected from the game. Check back later for more from both locker rooms on Green Street …
|Game 2: Second Quarter Update
|at 9:14 pm ET
The Magic wanted to play this game from outside … and paid the price. The Celtics have built a 15-point halftime lead thanks to aggressive play at the basket, outscoring the Magic 32-14 in the paint. They have also outshot the Magic 56% to 41% from the field.
Kendrick Perkins leads all scorers with 14 points (6/7 FG) and has been called for just one foul. Ray Allen, who had a quiet night in Game 1, has added 13 points. J.J. Redick is the high scorer for the Magic with 11 points.
Most importantly, the Celtics have controlled this game without Paul Pierce. He has played just five minutes (3 points) after banging knees with Hedo Turkoglu early in the first quarter.
|Garnett, Rondo receive All-Defensive honors
|at 2:22 pm ET
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team for the 2008-09 season. The former Defensive Player of the Year received 35 votes (13 First Team).
Rajon Rondo was named to the All-Defensive Second Team with 23 votes (4 First Team). Kendrick Perkins received four votes, including one First Team bid. Dwight Howard was the leading vote-getter.
Dwight Howard, Orlando
Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers
LeBron James, Cleveland
Chris Paul, New Orleans
Kevin Garnett, Boston
Tim Duncan, San Antonio
Dwyane Wade, Miami
Rajon Rondo, Boston
Shane Battier, Houston
Ron Artest, Houston
|Pierce: Two matches for Jasmina
|at 11:36 am ET
Earlier this year Paul Pierce joined the fight to find a life-saving bone marrow donor for Jasmina Anema, a six-year-old leukemia patient. Since Anema is adopted, finding a donor match to combat the rare and deadly form of the disease was difficult. Pierce campaigned for blood drives in the Boston area and pleaded for help on his website, PaulPierce.net. Other athletes and celebrities, including Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, and New York Knick Chris Wilcox, also reached out to help. Nearly five months after she was hospitalized, two near-perfect matches have been found for Jasmina. Click here to read a message on Pierce's site.

By James Slater - With the news that a big and important rematch is going to happen, in Bernard Hopkins-Jean Pascal II, I got to thinking about some potentially great sequels that sadly failed to come off. Unfinished business in boxing is often a frustrating thing, for both the fighters and the fans, and here I list half a dozen rematches that not only should have happened, but could have happened.
See what you think, would you have enjoyed seeing these part IIs?
Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Trinidad II..
The first fight between these two sensational welterweights, in September of 1999, gave us one of the most controversial decisions of the decade. Fans argued long and hard over whether or not the slow-starting Tito actually deserved the majority decision he was awarded after hed taken the final three rounds against the back-pedalling Golden Boy.
A rematch would have likely settled once and for all who the better fighter was. Oscar spoke of a rematch almost instantly. Hurt at the decision going against him after hed put on a boxing masterpiece, De La Hoya said hed have no choice but to go for the KO in the return. But would Oscar have gotten the stoppage, or would the lethal-hitting Trinidad have got to his chin first?
Roy Jones Junior-James Toney II.
Jones, then unbeaten and unbeatable-looking, put on a clinic against Lights Out when they met as unbeatens in November of 1994. The fight was far from great, as Jones was way too fast and slippery for the poorly conditioned Toney. Still, as a display of boxing skill, the fight was a joy to watch. And even though he had to lose a reported 19-pounds perilously close to the fight, the dehydrated Toney remained an elusive target himself. Jones later complained about how hard Toney was to hit cleanly.
Would an in-shape Toney have been able to make it a totally different fight in a sequel, or would the speedy Jones have won again? Jones, by and large, never was a guy fond of rematches. Its a real pity he never fancied another go at Toney. Neither guy was hurt in the 1994 fight, and for years (even to this day) Toney has talked of what hed do if he got Jones for a second time.
Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko II.
The heavyweight rumble the world champion and the future WBC champion put on in June of 2003 was a savagely entertaining affair. The two giants traded hard, potentially knockout blows, for half a dozen fantastically entertaining rounds - only for a definitive conclusion to the war failing to materialise due to the horrific cuts Klitscho had picked up. As such, the fans left the arena desperately craving more.
Lewis, however, was at the end of a great career, and he decided to call it a day. This was a smart move on the part of Lennox, but it left Dr. Iron Fist and millions of fans feeling seriously disappointed. Would Lewis have beaten Klitschko without the aid of cuts, or would Vitali have started his reign as world champ a year or so sooner had the two met again?
Julio Cesar Chavez-Pernell Whitaker II.
Back when this fight took place before a huge live audience in San Antonio in September of 1993, J.C Superstar was well and truly living up to his nickname. He had conquered fast-handed boxers before, such as Whitaker team-mate Melrdick Taylor, and he was the favourite to get the win over the defensively-sound Sweet Pea. However, southpaw Whitaker fought with none of the too-brave-for-his-own-good bravado Taylor did against the Mexican legend. Whitaker frustrated Chavez, he made him miss and he countered him with stingingly accurate head shots. Chavez was never hurt, but boxing was hurt by the controversial draw he was saved by.
Was welterweight a step up too high for Chavez? Did he simply underestimate Whitaker? Would Chavez have possibly been able to master Whitakers style in a return? Team-Whitaker tried their best to get the rematch on, but Chavez wasnt interested. In avoiding a return, Chavez perhaps harmed his reputation more than at any other time.
James Buster Douglas-Mike Tyson II.
This heavyweight classic, that took place in February of 1990, gave us THE biggest upset in all of boxing. Douglas, a massive underdog, whipped himself into the best mental and physical shape of his life (his motivation improved immensely by the sad passing of his mother) and he gave Iron Mike a serious whupping. Boxing and moving, planting his feet and landing bombs, Buster fought a near-perfect fight.
He was, of course, sensationally decked in the 8th-round by a desperate Tyson uppercut, but Douglas beat the long count and then got back to hammering his way to the world title. The KO Douglas scored in the 10th-round was truly stunning, and Tyson would never be the same fighter again. But the youngest heavyweight ruler of all time had entered the Tokyo dome in less than stellar condition, and maybe, maybe Douglas got lucky. Only a return would have given us a definite answer. Would Tyson have pushed himself to the limit in camp for a return, and would he have done what most people felt hed do in the first fight as a result? Or would the gifted Douglas have shown he simply had Tysons number?
Of all the rematches that failed to come off, this one is the one I myself wanted to see the most!

I wouldn't know because I use Toast for the iMac, and it saves YT and other "embedded" videos perfectly. :)
Answer by sfrancis928 · Feb 06, 2011 at 02:09 AM
Definitely MPEG Streamclip. It can download youtube videos and export them into almost any format, including just exporting the audio of a video. And It doesn't just do youtube videos, but also video and audio files from your drive.
uhhhhh....MPEG Streamclip does not open the flv files downloaded from Youtube and When you put a Youtube link in the inport from URL, it downloads other things
Oh I didn't know about the flv thing, I guess I've never tried it with an flv yt video. Are you saying it downloads other things when you enter any youtube URL, or just for flv files? Because if you mean any yt video then something's up cause it works for me.

Mom and Dad Were Wrong You Can Learn Things From TV — Here's a Book to Prove It
By Amy Carlson Gustafson, Pioneer Press, St. Paul, Minn.
Jul. 8–Forget brain rot. You can actually learn stuff while watching TV — and we're not just talking about PBS or the Discovery Channel, either. In Jeff Alexander's new book, "A TV Guide to Life: How I Learned Everything I Needed to Know From Watching Television," the 38-year-old, who lives in Minneapolis with his wife and young son, reveals countless lessons learned watching TV. The book's 14 chapters include Saved by the Bell: School on TV; What Would We Do, Baby, Without Us?: Parenting; I'm No Superman: TV Medicine; Somebody Save Me: Superpowers and Magic Spells.
A former writer for "A Prairie Home Companion," Alexander recaps TV shows for the Web site Television Without Pity (he writes under the moniker M. Giant), has his own blog, Velcrometer, and contributes to the Web site BloggingDad.
Here's what he had to say in a recent conversation about TV:
Q What was the first thing you remember learning from watching TV that you actually implemented into your life?
A "I used to watch 'Family Ties' back in the '80s when I lived at home with my parents and my sisters. I think they might disagree, but I think watching that helped me learn how to get along better with my family. I may have argued less with them when I was watching it."
Q What have you learned from writing about the TV show "24″ for the Web site Television Without Pity?
A "What I learned from '24′ isn't necessarily what '24′ wants us to learn. I think part of the message
of '24′ is that there are people in the government who have to break the rules and go off book, and we need those people because they're the ones who get things done. I'm suspicious of that message without getting too political."
Q If you could be any TV character who would it be?
A "I think I would like to be Doctor Who, because he's 900- some years old, he gets to travel through time and space and go wherever and whenever he wants. He's powerful and brilliant."
Q What TV character do you wish would never have been created?
A "Scrappy-Doo. He just sort of wrecked the whole chemistry of the Scooby gang. He was kind of the cliche. And Mabel on "Mad About You." When Paul and Jamie had their baby I think it changed the dynamic of the show, and that's when I quit watching it."
Q If any show was going to keep you inside on the first nice spring day of the year, what would it be?
A " 'Battlestar Galatica.' Because I did stay home for that and it was a Friday night, and I didn't go anywhere, and I sat home and watched the season premiere."
Amy Carlson Gustafson can be reached at 651-228-5561.

Siddiq Moidin Koya (1924–1993)[1] was a Fijian Indian politician and Opposition leader. He succeeded to the leadership of the mostly Indo-Fijian National Federation Party (NFP) on the death of the party's founder, A.D. Patel, in October 1969, remaining in this post until 1977. He later served a second term as leader of the NFP, from 1984 to 1987.
Koya is credited with his role in paving the way for Fijian independence from Britain in 1970. The National Federation Party had been opposing plans for independence without significant changes to the constitution. The NFP, in particular, wanted a legislature to be elected by universal suffrage from a common electoral roll of all voters - a demand rejected by the main ethnic Fijian politicians, who wanted a communal franchise with parliamentary seats allocated among the different ethnic groups, elected from ethnic electoral rolls. Sidiq Koya was more willing to compromise than his predecessor, and he was instrumental in persuading his party and his people to accept independence with a communal franchise.

Early life and family[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2013)
Sidiq Koya was born in Ba District in a of prominent Malayalam Muslim family.He only went to year six in primary school and never saw the doors of a high school.Being a son of a cane farmer he worked his way up and later worked for the law firm of S.B. Patel in Lautoka. He then travelled to Tasmania to obtain his law degree from the University of Tasmania.He and his wife Amina, had three children, daughter Shahnaaz and sons Faiyaz and Faizal and six grandchildren, Aleisha, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Zane, Akif and Farhaan who now reside in Australia, Canada and Fiji.
Member of Kisan Sangh[edit]
In 1956, S.M. Koya went into partnership with N.S. Charmers, who was the legal advisor to the Kisan Sangh. This brought Koya closer to the Kisan Sangh hierarchy, and on 10 February 1957 he was elected the Vice President of the organization. In 1958 he was re-elected to the post. Although Koya had initially been accepted with open arms by the Kisan Sangh, which lacked any legally qualified person in its leadership team, differences soon arose between Koya and Ayodhya Prasad, who saw Koya as a threat to his leadership. Ayodhya Prasad managed to get Koya ousted from the Kisan Sangh but paid a heavy price for this as Koya worked against Ayodhya Prasad to have him defeated in the 1959 Legislative Council election.
President and Speaker of the Then India Maunatul Islam Association of Fiji[edit]
Koya also made contributions to religious and cultural organisations. He had been a President and Speaker of the Then India Maunatul Islam Association of Fiji, an organisation representing Muslims of South Indian origin in Fiji. Koya's family originate from Kerala, in South India.
Member of Federation of Cane Growers[edit]
Koya was one of the founding members of the Federation of Cane Growers, formed in 1959 to negotiate the new cane contract with the Colonial Sugar Refining Company. He formed close ties with A.D. Patel and rose to prominence as the sugar cane dispute continued. He also involved himself with other industrial disputes in Fiji in 1959 by defending union leaders involved in strikes.
Legislative Council Elections[edit]
The Federation Committee contested the 1963 under the banner of the Citizens Federation. Its three candidates, in the sugar cane growing areas, were A.D. Patel, James Madhavan, and Koya himself. All three Citizens Federation candidates were elected. Koya narrowly defeated James Shankar Singh of Ba by 3998 votes to 3480 votes, making him the first Muslim to be elected to the Legislative Council. Koya was responsible for drafting the constitution of the Federation Party which came into existence on 21 June 1964, making it the first political party in Fiji. He easily retained his seat at the 1966 general election and the 1968 by-election.
Party Leader and towards Independence[edit]
Following the death of A.D. Patel in 1969, Koya was elected the leader of the National Federation Party. He adopted a conciliatory style of leadership and soon had an agreement with the leader of the Alliance Party, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, for independence for Fiji. There were those within his party who had opposed his leadership and with the unveiling of the new constitution the opposition from within gained strength. At this time in Fiji's history, Koya, the opposition leader, was seen as being too close to the Prime Minister.
Split with the National Federation Party[edit]
The first elections held after indenpence, in 1972, saw the NFP win 19 of the 52 seats in the House of Representatives. Opposition to Koya from within the party grew and by 1976 the party was divided into two groups when some members of his party expressed support for the Agricultural Landlord and Tenants Bill, which Koya and the NFP officially opposed. (Koya and his people did not oppose the changes but suggested the party abstain and thus defeat the bill, which required a 75% majority to help it to pass.) The differences were swept under the carpet for the parliamentary elections of March 1977. Koya led his National Federation Party (NFP) to a narrow victory, and should have become Prime Minister, but internal party strife resulted in the Governor General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, calling on the defeated Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, to form a new government. As seen from Brij V Lal's book on the life of Jai Ram Reddy called Eye of the Storm, all 26 members of the National Federation Party sent a signed memo, that is signed by each of them to the then Governor General pledging their support for Koya. The governor General was concerned that Sakeasi Butadroka, the Fijian leader who destroyed Mara's majority by splitting 25% of the Fijian votes, would fulfil his promise made 7 April 1977 at the Old Suva Town Hall in his midday speech that if an Indian was elected Prime Minister Blood would flow. He pointed to his signature red tie. The Governor General who has asked the NFP to form government then changed his mind and appointed Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara as the Prime minister. There was no internal strife as Koya and his Parliamentary Caucus spent Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday pleading to Ratu Mara to form a coalition government and to remain Prime Minister. This "strife among us" was not evident in those four days.[citation needed] Koya had been opposed in the election by R.D. Patel, brother of the late leader of NFP and had won by a narrow margin. A second election to resolve the impasse was held in September that year, resulting in a heavy defeat for the NFP after it had split into two factions known as the Dove and Flower factions. Koya lost his parliamentary seat to Jai Ram Reddy, who became the new leader of the NFP. Koya's Dove faction had won only 3 seats compared to 12 won by the Flower faction.
Return to Leadership of NFP[edit]
The NFP had re-united for the 1982 elections and Koya regained his seat in the general election held that year. After the resignation of Jai Ram Reddy, Koya returned to the leadership of the NFP in 1984. He was not far from controversy, and after being accused of favouring his own supporters, lost a cruicial by-election in 1985. With the emergence of Fiji Labour Party (FLP), the NFP lost ground and he resigned from the leadership of the NFP before the 1987 election, when the NFP formed an electoral coalition with the Fiji Labour Party, under the leadership of Timoci Bavadra.

Rihanna - Disturbia
Artist: Rihanna
Producer: Brian Kennedy
Album: Good Girl Gone Bad
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 37 votes )
To understand the story of Rihanna's re-release album, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, just read the story of reported main squeeze Chris Brown's Exclusive: The Forever Edition (multi-plat, numerous hit singles). The 20-year-old Bajan beauty is giving fans one more single, returning to the club/dancehall roots of Pon De Replay and S.O.S. with Disturbia. While it sounds a bit strange to hear RiRi curse on a single (we're used to her being edgy, but not vulgar), it will be a hit in the clubs nonetheless. For the few who didn't get a chance to pick up the original album, Reloaded drops June 17.
Note: The streaming of "Disturbia" has temporarily been suspended.

MILWAUKEE The Reds are pursuing an All-Star date for 2013, Karen Forgus, the clubs senior vice president of business operations, said on Monday.
Were pushing hard on it, Forgus said. Were actively pursuing it.
Forgus said the teams desire to host an All-Star Game is one reason it sought the Civil Rights Game, which will be played June 20 against the Chicago White Sox at Great American Ball Park.
Henry Aaron, Muhammad Ali and Bill Cosby are scheduled to be in town that weekend to accept awards. President Obama has also been invited.
We want to illustrate how great of a city Cincinnati is, Forgus said.
She said hosting the Civil Rights Game will not preclude Cincinnati from an All-Star date.
The Reds last hosted the All-Star Game in 1988. The city has hosted four games in all.
The game alternates between American League and National League cities every year. St. Louis is hosting this year. With Arizona getting the next National League date in 2011, Cincinnatis next three chances are 2013, 2015 and 2017.
Forgus said the team has done mock time lines to check the availability of venues such as Duke Energy Center as it targets prospective years.
She added that Bob Castellini, the Reds president and chief executive officer, is also lobbying MLB commissioner Bud Selig.
If they come here, theyll be the event in town, Forgus said. We can do things on both sides of the river. Well bring riverboats in. Well go all out.

Everybody knows Russell Simmons is forward-thinking. The vegan founder of Def Jam signed all the classic cats: Run DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy (the list goes on). He knew they'd hit it big back when most people thought rapping had something to do with birthday presents. Now, the good-natured godfather of hip hop is using the power of the pen to school the Windy City on staying ahead of the game.
Now that it's the 21st century, foie gras production is banned in 15 countries plus, the state of California. But Chicago did even better than that by banning the sale of the sadistic substance citywide. But just one year later, industry groups are fighting hard to get rid of the ban.
Russell, being the ever-mindful mogul, found out about it and sent the city council a letter saying foie gras is "wretched" and "abusive." He's disappointed in The Chi for thinking about backing down on a landmark move, and he's urging them not to give in to a handful of high-end restaurant owners and chefs who think they can do whatever they want.
Way to go Russell for keeping hip hop in the heart and the Chitown City Council in check!
You wanna force foie gras to flex? If you live in Chicago, holler at your alderman. If you live somewhere else, and run into foie gras at a restaurant or grocery store, holler at the manager.
Peace, y'all –
P.S. – For the rest of you humane hip hoppers, check out RapHappy.com and see if you can come up with compassionate lyrics like these:
I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets
Only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat…
Life brings life, it's valuable, so I eat what comes
From the ground, it's natural
Let your food be your medicine
(From Dead Prez's "Be Healthy")
In the slaughterhouse full of germs and flies
Off with the head, they pack it, drain it, and cart it
And there it is, in your local supermarket
Red and bloody, a corpse, neatly packed
And you wonder about heart attacks?
(From KRS-One's "Beef")
Over a billion served
What they never deserved
So as they drove away they swerved into the curb
With their heads on the steering wheel
Kids blacked out in the back with a fucking Happy Meal
What a crappy deal…
The parking lot is now a burial plot
Where you can park and rot if you can find a spot
(From Mr. Lif's "The Fries")
Even if the meat wasn't genetically processed
It's all a bloody mess…
I'm a human being
Who doesn't kill to get his protein
(From LMNO's "No Eyes, No Mouth")

Philippine typhoon death toll could reach 10,000
"When we were being swept by the water, many people were floating and raising their hands and yelling for help. But what can we do? We also needed to be helped," Torotoro said.
In Torotoro's village, bodies could be seen lying along the muddy main road, as residents who had lost their homes huddled, holding on to the few things they had managed to save. The road was lined with trees that had fallen to the ground.
Vice Mayor Jim Pe of Coron town on Busuanga, the last island battered by the typhoon before it blew away to the South China Sea, said most of the houses and buildings there had been destroyed or damaged. Five people drowned in the storm surge and three others were missing, he said by phone.
"It was like a 747 flying just above my roof," he said, describing the sound of the winds. He said his family and some of his neighbors whose houses were destroyed took shelter in his basement.
Philippine broadcaster ABS-CBN showed fierce winds whipping buildings and vehicles as storm surges swamped Tacloban with debris-laden floodwaters.
In the aftermath of the typhoon, people were seen weeping while retrieving bodies of loved ones inside buildings and on a street that was littered with fallen trees, roofing material and other building parts torn off in the storm's fury. All that was left of one large building whose walls were smashed in were the skeletal remains of its rafters.
ABS-CBN television anchor Ted Failon, who was able to report only briefly Friday from Tacloban, said the storm surge was "like the tsunami in Japan."
"The sea engulfed Tacloban," he said, explaining that a major part of the city is surrounded on three sides by the waters between Leyte and Samar islands.
Tim Ticar, a local tourism officer, said 6,000 foreign and local tourists were stranded on the popular resort island of Boracay, one of the tourist spots in the typhoon's path.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon offered his condolences and said U.N. humanitarian agencies were working closely with the Philippine government to respond rapidly with emergency assistance, according to a statement released by the U.N. spokesperson's office.
UNICEF estimated that about 1.7 million children are living in areas impacted by the typhoon, according to the agency's representative in the Philippines Tomoo Hozumi. UNICEF's supply division in Copenhagen was loading 60 metric tons of relief supplies for an emergency airlift expected to arrive in the Philippines on Tuesday.
Haiyan was forecast to lash central Vietnam's coast on Sunday afternoon, making its way to the northern part of the country before likely weakening to a tropical storm.
Vietnamese authorities in four central provinces were evacuating more than 500,000 people from high-risk areas to government buildings, schools and other concrete homes able to withstand strong winds.
"The evacuation is being conducted with urgency," disaster official Nguyen Thi Yen Linh said from central Danang City, where some 76,000 were being moved to safety.
Hundreds of thousands of others were being taken to shelters in the provinces of Quang Ngai, Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue. Schools were closed and two deputy prime ministers were sent to the region to direct the preparations.
Associated Press writers Oliver Teves and Teresa Cerojano in Manila, and Minh Tran in Hanoi, Vietnam, contributed to this report.

The exit polls released at the end of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections came to a common consensus. Data from C-voter, CSDS, Chanakya, CICERO and ORG all point towards a sweeping majority win for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
There is also a strong indication that Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate is all set to take the position. Keeping that spirit in mind, here is an analysis of 10 prime ministers that have not been a part of the 'Gandhi' family:

Party: Samajwadi Janata Party with the Indian National Congress
He was a part of the 9th Lok Sabha, MP from Ballia he served his tenure for about a year. He was arrested during the emergency period. He was known for his nationwide 'padayatra' in 1983 to understand the country better. He is often associated with the name 'Young Turk'.

He is known for introducing India's first anti-terrorism legislation the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA). He was also faced with corruption claims in offering millions to Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). He is till date known as the 'unsung' hero of the Indian Congress Party. As he left behind a legacy of economic reforms.

Fishermen warned
Port Conservator Vijay said the warning has been raised following instructions from the Meteorological Department, and advised fishermen to take note of the warning and avoid going deep into the sea. The bulletin said the cyclonic storm over southeast Bay of Bengal moved slightly towards northwest with a speed of 10 kmph during past 6 hours and lay centred at about 690 km southeast of Chennai.
It would move initially north-northwestwards during next 12 hours and re-curve thereafter north-eastwards towards Bangladesh-Myanmar coast, it said.
As the 45-day ban is in force only country-craft fishermen were engaged in fishing and they normally indulge in inshore fishing.

Top 5 Canuck Hipchecks of 2010-11
13 comments:
Canucks have never been better throwing the hip since Hilliard Graves & Mike Robataille skated with the team.ReplyDelete
- beninvictoriaApril 11, 2011 at 12:20 AM
I wonder what Rome is saying to Smid? I think Smid asked him what his favourite "Mulan" character, and Rome(cause he's badass)replied "Fa Zhou"ReplyDelete
Also a surprising amount of hip-checks were thrown on Oilers, clearly receiving hip-checks and having a terrible overall record are closely related.
- AnonymousApril 11, 2011 at 12:51 AM
God, I LOVE when they do the hip checks! *.*ReplyDelete
Rome just seems to need a better timing, but that one on Smid made me surprise!
I was hoping you guys would so something with all the hipchecks!ReplyDelete
I just love it when they hipcheck, and it seems like Ballard and Hamhuis are rubbing off on Rome
I wonder if they'll teach Edler?? An Edler hipcheck would be MONSTROUS.ReplyDelete

The Dallas StarsReplyDelete
Whisky's drunk on bathtub gin,
as the standings he peruses:
"With one more win
they could be in,
if Chicago loses."
Gretchen Grouse
Chicago lost, the Stars did too,
So now it's up to Bobby Lu
To shut out Toews and Patrick Kane,
And put an end to their disdain.
While all the rest must play their best,
Because they know this is the test
That they have failed in playoffs past,
And so their fans did flabbergast.
The Chicken Hawk says, "Not a chance
The wuss Canucks will e'er advance.
If you would know this pundit's picks
I now predict the Hawks in six!"
Toulouse Toucan does disagree.
"The Hawks will lose as you will see.
The 'Nucks will play in overdrive.
I state they'll need not more than five!"
Says Whisky Jack, "I only care
The play is fast, the reffing fair."
And as for me this trolling elf
Does not know where to find herself.
chicken chick
"I think it would be kind of neat
To celebrate on Robson Street,
'Mid drunken screams, 'We're number one!'
And hope the punks don't spoil the fun.
And thus I guess now I live here,
There's but one team for which to cheer!"
Nice to see the hipcheck collection here at least. There have been some beauties! I was actually third row in the same corner for the Miller check... You can even see my son and I on the replay... It was beautiful! Here's to hoping there's plenty more in the playoffs!ReplyDelete
@Gabrielle: I think I recall witnessing an Edler hipcheck early on in the season but, I can't seem to find a video of it so, I must be wrong.

Surprised the Ballard hipcheck on Kopecky didn't get an honorable mentionReplyDelete
It did, in the "Bonus Hipchecks" section.ReplyDelete
I love that one. That one is unofficially #6.

The #2 Hamhuis hipcheck was glorious...Murray did a perfect cartwheel.ReplyDelete
Please will someone hipcheck Kane? He may be a little too quick though.

More Little Details In The Girl's Dream Bedroom
Hey...who went out and bought all the black and white floral knobs from Anthropologie!? I stopped by the store this morning to return the styles I won't be using and to pick up a couple more of the knobs selected for the night stand. To my surprise all of them were gone. Well, I was perturbed! I certainly hope they are making someone very very happy.
So I looked for another design and was delighted to come across a style that coordinates beautifully with the first. In retrospect, I like that the pair on the closet doors are slightly different from the knobs on the night stand. I guess I now owe a thank you to whoever bought up all the others!
While there I also scoured the sale table and found this small gold frame with a lovely leaf design. Every room needs a framed photo, and this one will find a home on the desk to be placed at the foot of the bed.
Speaking of the desk, I need to show the furniture plan for this room...which was conceived to address the challenges presented by the layout of the room while accommodating a queen size bed. Has anyone wondered why a girl's room is being designed with such a large bed? Next time I'll explain why...

Oh that was me I needed them for my black cabinets!!! Just kidding, but I am going to look for some for my cabinets. I'm terrified to have black cabinets! I found a nice black SW "Tricorn black 6258", but I can't decide on a nice neutral color that will work well with it so I can have red accents. Maybe I should stick with a creamy white for my cabinets....ReplyDelete
I had a feeling it might be you! Good luck making you paint decision, painting the cabinets black would be very very dramatic (like the photos you posted), white would be more versatile...either way I'm sure you'll make it look fabulous! JanellReplyDelete
Well, shame on whoever did that to you, Janell! But, you are right, in the end it worked out... I like the idea of having a similar (not the same) design on the doors. Wish we had Anthrop. near us. ps - I haven't forgotten to send new pics to ya - I'm just not done yet as everything was put on hold for awhile... now I'm back on track! Hope to be done soon.ReplyDelete
Take care, Nikki
Hi Nikki, yes, can you believe the nerve? Can't wait to see what you have done...send photos when you get a chance! JanellReplyDelete
I absolutely adore Anthro knobs. I wish I can put them on every surface of the house, but they do run a bit much to use on kitchen cabinets. Instead, I use them on every other pieces requiring knobs. Love the choice you made.ReplyDelete

so far so good with thisblocation, make sure to emphasize if you have an allergy and they will take care of you, I even got gluten free soy sauce for my to go order!
I eat here often -- always been a great experience! Take out is great too - all foods are clearly marked and the servers are very careful! You get a special plate that denotes gfree, and your own gfree soy sauce too. Many traditional Chinese food options on the menu as well as some new favorites!!
Right when I walked in the door, there were all smiles. I am celiac and there were good gluten free choices. I enjoyed every second. My waitress was also VERY friendly. I would suggest this place to one of my friends.
I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Their gluten free items are served on different plates than their regular items, which makes it easier to know that the chefs got the info on being gluten free. Delicious food and a large gluten free menu to choose from.
A lot of the regular dishes are made gluten free. Really great food!!
Default date restaurant because it's always safe and always a good deal if you get the two 3-course meal for $50. I, too, appreciate the special logo plates, which is comforting. We did have one waiter (who was new) try to dump the GF leftovers in with my spouse's leftovers. We caught him in time.
good variety of choices, gf desserts, knowledgeable staff.
They use different plates so you know it's gf. Fabulous selection of food. Gf menu is very comparable to the 'regular' menu.
I love p f Changs but this location was very careless about food allergies. I have been to this location three times and all three times I have left sick and unhappy. I recommend the Durham location if you have allergies on top of celiac

Always the best option for gluten free oriental food!
400 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101
Went with my daughter and her service dog. My daughter is autistic. The service started out horrible, but after a heart to heart with the manager Matthew the service quickly turned into a great experience. My daughter was on the verge of tears due to the ride waiter we had. Matthew have us a new waiter and it truly changed the experiment despite my daughter not wanting to eat due to the anxiety caused she left smiling! The good was good, didn't get sick after eating there. Thanks to Matthew I will rate 5 stars!

With my experience at PF Changs, I have been more than pleased! It's one of our favorite places to eat! They have a separate cooking area, plus there are certain plates that they put Gluten Free food on that will differentiate which is gluten and which isn't! Also, the wait staff is very knowledgeable about Gluten Free. A lot of times, they will ask you if you have "Celiac disease or Gluten Intolerance." Now, with all of that being said, This is a restaurant... if you have Celiac Disease, you are always risking getting sick if you eat out! But you have to live your life and enjoy yourself. :) I hope that everyone has a good experience here! We love it.
340 S Pine Ave., Long Beach, CA 90802
Great selection. They even offer a gluten free dessert!
6610 E Superstition Springs Blvd., Mesa, AZ 85206
had a small snafu but the waiter caught it. How I wish I had a PF Changs where I live. Beef and Broccoli. Great stuff. I was very happy to eat here.
2237 Deming Way, Middleton, WI 53562
Its a good place. They say they use a separate pan for the GF orders. Even they served the food in a separate plate. GF fried rice is good. Chocolate cake
1180 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, CA 95678
I love P.F. Chang's the service is wonderful. The food is amazing. And I have yet to get sick eating the food (after two years of trying them). So far it is the only place I really trust. I love that they have an allergy free section of the kitchen and the gluten free food is served on special plates. And take out is marked by a gluten free sticker.
40762 Winchester Road, Temecula, CA 92591
All staff is trained. Gfree food is served on different dishes. Food tastes great. I've never gotten sick here (celiac).
721 Easton Road, Warrington, PA 18976
I've never had any issues ordering from P.F. Chang's. They are very careful to avoid cross contamination, and their food has always turned out to be delicious. Ordering from P.F. Chang's is safe and reliable, and highly recommended for the great quality of their food.
3101 Pga Boulevard f142, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
Reliably GF.
8888 Southwest 136th Street #100, Miami, FL 33176
I'm giving them three stars because they have more gluten-free choices than many restaurants. However, at this location service is extremely slow. I just don't usually have two or three hours to eat dinner. We have eaten there three or four times with my daughter who has celiac disease. I once met someone who used to work for PF Changs and he told me they took gluten-free very seriously. I am glad to hear that considering the consequences! Since finding out that they own Pei Wei we eat there more frequently as it is a more budget friendly choice and not so slow. I did write a review on the one closest to us and the biggest problem I have is they seem clueless about gluten-free which is very scary.
230 Tresser Boulevard, Stamford, CT 06901
It is good. Gf food is served on special plates with GF logo on them. It makes me feel confident that staff are well trained & thoughtful about gf issues. Nice to have a big chain with such a commitment.
500 State Route 73, Marlton, NJ 08053
Had GF lettuce wraps n Street Noodles and was SICK within the hour after. UGH they acted like I'd be safe and I wasn't. If kitchens only understood how sick they make people. ZERO STARS
12071 Elm Creek Blvd., Maple Grove, MN 55369
waiter double checked gluten free and the experience was awesome. will be back.
307 Sail Pl, Annapolis, MD 21401
P.F. Chang's is usually my go-to restaurant. I ordered the gluten free fried rice, which I have gotten at different locations several times. They assured me it was gluten free and it came out on the special plate. Within an hour, I was experiencing all the usual Celiac symptoms, during a long car ride! When we called to let them know something went wrong, the manager got defensive and said it must've happened somewhere else. I had barely eaten anything prior that day, and it had all come from my own dedicated gf kitchen. I'd be cautious eating here. If the staff had been more understanding, I might feel different about going back.

4551 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
Our server Jordan was great and very accommodating to make sure our questions were answered about the GF menu. They have omission beer and cider. Decent amount of options for GF including the fried rice w/grilled shrimp which is always on point. Make a reservation since the waits are often 1hr+
7077 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108
Love my local PF Changs, but I got sick 20 minutes eating at this location with my to go GF chicken fried rice... I'm very sensitive, so be careful.

Yummy gluten free menu and I love when the waiter tells me how the kitchen will safely prepare my food without me even having to ask!
10300 Little Patuxent Parkway #3020, Columbia, MD 21044
We were excited about the GF menu but wish the server would have known that the GF version if the Buddah's Feast was not like their regular version which is stir fried in a sauce with tofu. Instead I was served a plate of steamed vegetables. If the regular sauce is not GF, why not stir fry it in the lettuce wrap sauce (they were yummy) or the beef a la Sichuan sauce? Clearly I ordered the wrong thing. Lesson learned...ask questions when ordering off the GF menu.
125 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601
great gluten free food!
13700 N Pennsylvania Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73134
Lovely experience! I called ahead to put my name on the list and tell them about my dietary restrictions. They had a manager visit my table and both server and manager assured me my GF foods would be cooked in a designated wok. They even use little red dishes for the GF sauces. They took my celiac very seriously. The options were awesome: I had lettuce wraps, egg drop soup, fried rice, and the flourless chocolate dome. We will definitely return!
322 West Farms Mall Space F226, Farmington, CT 06032
This place is awesome, and since we are always looking for GF places, this is awesome! There celiac friendly menu is great, and I did not get sick afterwards. I always visit
1401 North Waterfront Parkway, Wichita, KS 67206
Very middle of the road on all fronts and sometime bordering on poor service. It is an option but watch the staff most of whom appear under trained.
21821 Oxnard Street, Woodland Hills, CA 91367
Many gf options to choose from and our server even had celiac so they were very accommodating. Would go back for sure.
1725 Briargate Parkway, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
food was good - service spotty upon being shown to our table I noticed a large spill on the floor. I told the hostess, who completely ignored me and the spill. I went to the bar and asked to speak to a manager. I was told one would come to my table. I ordered the lunch meal which comes with soup. When my meal came I noticed it was a large portion. Sure enough my bill was for a dinner plate and I was charged extra for the soup. i would nention this to management, bur I have no desire to stay here all night until one materializes. I just paid my bill and am leaving. The spill was never cleaned up, the manager nonexistent.
11685 Westheimer Rd., Houston, TX 77077
Limited gf menu and I was served a non- gf dish which the kitchen quickly took care of but our server seemed indifferent even though I said at least three times I was celiac and needed gluten free! Luckily I caught it before I ate.
7894 N Blackstone Ave., Fresno, CA 93720
Felt better after my meal here than I do eating in my kitchen at home. Delicious.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Worldgateway Place, Romulus, MI 48242
Have gluten free options like other locations. Not extensive menu but great to have this company have GF in airport!!! Eating gluten free (on the right plate) chicken fried rice. They have the lettuce wraps, egg drop soup fried rice, beef options!!
3000 184th Street Southwest #912, Lynnwood, WA 98037
I love the 2 for 40!! Egg drop soup is awesome!!
400 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101
I was pleased with the atmosphere and the service, and the waiter knew what he was talking about. I don't like soy sauce, so I didn't try the gf version. I did try egg drop soup (delicious), chicken fried rice (pretty good), and the Cantonese-style lemon chicken (so amazing!).
7894 N Blackstone Ave., Fresno, CA 93720
Great food and excellent service
6000 North Terminal Parkway, Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), College Park, GA 30337
This was the worst PF Changs I have visited. I usually love it. While I am reasonably confident I wasn't glutened, the food was mediocre. I had the lettuce wraps (too much stuff and not enough chix - plus the lettuce wasn't very fresh or good quality); egg drop soup (not very flavorful and disappointing); and Changs chix (decent but not much sauce). I am not giving it a lower, but not bad rating because I put true gf over taste everyday! I hate getting sick.
O'Neill Road, Toronto, ON, Canada M3C 0H1
Last night I ate at the Don Mills location of P.F. Chang's for the 3rd time, and got glutened for the first time. The food and atmosphere are great, so I'll likely give them a try again, but it won't be for a few months.
1180 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, CA 95678
What a great experience! This was our first restaurant experience since my son was diagnosed with Celiac. The menu options were excellent, but our waitress, Victoria, was absolutely over-the-top amazing! She totally understood my son's condition, explained everything to us and really went out of her way to make our dining experience wonderful. They have a dedicated section of the kitchen for GF food prep, and they even have GF dessert items and Victoria brought us a couple on the house. I highly recommend this location.

I ate here and ended up sick. Ruined my night being sick.
1819 Lake Cook Road, Northbrook, IL 60062
Used to be good. Not sure why they can't use gluten free soy sauce. Ill change my rating if they have more options Horrible got sick after eating here
101 South Green Valley Parkway, Henderson, NV 89052
I have NEVER gotten sick here. I'm very sensitive to gluten. I love the lettuce wraps, spicy chicken and fried rice.
800 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199
Wait time long to get seated and then took a long time. Food was undercooked and the chicken was raw! Won't go back
3255 West Chandler Boulevard, Chandler, AZ 85226
I love this place. they lose one star because they got rid of (again) the Phillips better lemon chicken!! I will still eat there. the fried rice, ginger chicken, egg drop soup, and gf lettuce wraps are all delicious!
400 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101
I had 2 out of 3 times I was served gluten soy sauce. Once I noticed it and the other 2 I didn't but wondered why my meal wasn't charged. I later knew.
2700 Southdale Circle, Edina, MN 55435
I've eaten at many P. F. Chang's locations around the country. This location is closest to my home. I've never had a problem at any P. F. Chang's. The food is always tasty and I never have to worry about cross-contamination. I have been disappointed with the decreasing portion sizes lately.

'The Bank determined that it [allowing corporates] would be net positive'
Reserve Bank of India Governor D. Subbarao, on Friday, defended the central bank's decision to make corporates eligible for bank licences, saying that responsible regulation involved being "pragmatic" and not "dogmatic".
Elaborating on what he called responsible regulation, the RBI Governor said an important characteristic of such regulation was open-mindedness and the willingness to change regulations to suit the changing circumstances. In this context, he defended the RBI's decision to make corporates eligible for bank licences, which was done after extensive debate, consultation and deliberation.
"The Bank took a pragmatic view, in response to the changed situation, and determined that allowing corporates into banking sector would be net positive," he said. Dr. Subbarao was delivering the keynote address themed "Responsible innovation and regulation in the financial sector" at the Institute of Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) Technology Excellence Awards 2012-13 & the CEO Panel here on Friday.
The argument against allowing bank licences to corporates centred around "misuse" of public deposits for private gain and that banking in hands of the corporates would lead to concentration of economic power and political influence. The bank, however, took the decision to leverage the proven entrepreneurial talent and management expertise. Coupled with this was the scope for bringing in vast pools of capital that would help in strengthening financial inter- mediation.

A Chinese official on Tuesday said progress in talks on Tibet hinged on the Dalai Lama staying clear of political issues, and cautioned the Tibetan religious leader against interfering in the border dispute between India and China.
The ninth round of talks between the Dalai Lama's representatives and the Chinese government concluded last week. The two sides' positions on Tibet's autonomy remained "sharply divided", said Zhu Weiqun, Executive Vice-Minister, United Front Work Department of the Communist Party's Central Committee.
In a press briefing here on Tuesday, Mr. Zhu reiterated that any progress depended on the Dalai Lama refraining from involving himself in political matters. He pointed to statements the Tibetan religious leader had made claiming that "southern Tibet" — the Chinese government's reference to Arunachal Pradesh, parts of which it claims — and "areas south of the McMahon Line belonged to India". The statements would worsen the Dalai Lama's relations with the Central government, he warned.
In the days leading up to last week's talks, China's state media drew attention to the Dalai Lama's links with India, where he has been living since he fled Tibet in 1959, to question his standing with Tibetans in China. The People's Daily, the Communist Party's official newspaper, in a recent article accused the Dalai Lama of "pleasing his Indian masters" by describing himself as "a son of India". "People cannot help but ask that since the Dalai Lama deems himself an Indian rather than Chinese, then why is he entitled to represent the voice of the Tibetan people?" the paper wrote. It also accused the Dalai Lama of "betraying southern Tibet to India".
Thubten Samphel, a spokesperson for the so-called government-in-exile in Dharamshala, said the Chinese government had taken the Tibetan religious leader's statements out of context. "China should be focussing on the larger and more pressing problems facing Tibet, rather than dwelling on such small issues," he told The Hindu.
Mr. Samphel said areas south of the McMahon Line had been "legally ceded to India in 1914 under international law". The Dalai Lama considered himself to be "a citizen of the world", and his ties to India were in the context of Buddhism's ancient links to the country.
Keywords: India, China, Tibet, Dalai Lama

Meepycat: he is teething, A LOT! 8 so far. No teething aids seem to work, though I haven't tried the gel - is it okay? I've read mixed things about it, like numbing the gag reflex and ability to nurse. Also, I just love getting the perspective from a mother who has "been there and done that"!!

Louisiana state police and local law enforcement agencies are telling motorists to clean off their dirty license plates.
State police say in a news release the motorists caught with their license plates obscured in any way, including by dirt, mud or frames that cover part of the plate, could be ticketed.
Louisiana law requires vehicle license plates be clearly displayed, as well as illuminated at night by license plate lights.
Kenner officials say the city's vehicle inspection station has begun accepting credit cards and debit cards for payment.
Officials of the city in suburban New Orleans said there is no additional charge to use plastic to pay for annual inspections to receive a city brake tag.
The tags cost $10 and are good for 1 year.

I seen several posts here about the shaving dilemma. But I would like to know if it is required to shave your vagina completely before you have your baby. Do they do that at the hospital or they simply leave it alone, no matter how much hair you have?
I want to know because I tend to get TONS OF BUMPS if I shave, so I don't want them doing it at the hospital. Therefore I would need to wax EVERYTHING myself if its required, otherwise, I would just do the bikini area and a trim.
Please let me know if I am supposed to shave ALL.

Help Israel Lacrosse "Go National!" on #GivingTuesdayOn December 2, #GivingTuesday, we ask the entire Israel Lacrosse family to help us launch new lacrosse programs nationally. In January, we'll be kicking our youth development initiatives into high gear, with a goal of establishing 40 lacrosse teams by the end of the calendar year.
Israel Lacrosse is currently in four cities: Ashkelon (Makif Alef and Voldenberg Field), Netanya (Ort Leibovich School and Poleg Sportek), Ramla (Park Ofer) and Tel Aviv (B'Nai Brit and HaYarkon Sportek). With your help, we'll be able to get more equipment, more goals, more uniforms and more coaches to strengthen our participation in those cities, while expanding to several new locations, such as Ashdod, Haifa, and Petach Tikvah.
Just as Black Friday and Cyber Monday mark the start of the holiday shopping season, Giving Tuesday kicks off the end-of-year giving season. After two days of getting, Giving Tuesday is a worldwide platform to encourage people to give back.
With the help of the entire Israel Lacrosse community, we hope to have the largest online giving day in our history on #GivingTuesday, with a goal of raising $20,000 to support the "Go National!" program.
An anonymous supporter has stepped to the plate with unprecedented generosity to double the impact of your contribution.
Please visit http://www.razoo.com/story/Israel-Lacrosse-Go-National/ on December 2nd and help us engage and energize youth of all backgrounds in Israel through the shared passion of lacrosse.
