It's going to take more than just one knockout loss at middleweight to convince Ed Soares that Anderson Silva is not the best fighter in the world.
"I believe Anderson is the best fighter on the planet, period. Any weight class. I believe he has a bigger danger to any fighter he faces than any fighter has towards him. Can he be beat? Of course he can be beat. Anybody can be beat, but you put him against any fighter in any weight class and I think he has a better chance of beating them than they do beating him. I think he'll beat him. I do think Anderson can beat Jon Jones. Not taking anything away from Jon Jones. Incredible athlete, but he doesn't have the experience and I think a well-trained Anderson Silva would beat Jon Jones."

It is time to take the top 10 moments to the Extreme!! When thinking about doing this blog, I was thinking about moments from One Night Stand post ECWs of course. Not realizing Extreme Rules really has only had 4 total ppvs at a time. So I'll try to do my best with what I have regardless. Keep it strictly Extreme Rules here. So what are the top 10 moments in the history of Extreme Rules? I thought
Wrestlers from the TV show Hulk Hogan's Micro Championship Wrestling (MCW) recently tore down the boundary between video games and wrestling. The MCW wrestlers became characters in the video game AdventureQuest Worlds, and the game's armored creator found himself battling his lifelong arch-rival in a "Stink-Face Match" inside a real-life wrestling ring. (Albeit, it was a ring meant for little
I think that it is a safe assumption that most of us that regularly visit this site have been watching wrestling for quite a few years. I will be 30 in a few months and started watching wrestling in the early 1990's when the tag-team division was dominated by the likes of Demolition, the Hart Foundation, the Rockers, the Legion of Doom, the Nasty Boys and the Steiners. I vaguely remember the Freebirds,
Hello. Welcome to another blogisde of Blade's Experience. Before I start, I have one question for people viewing by blogs currently. I am the new moderator for the Prediction contest. How would most participants like 100 points for participation. This help towards the goal of being #1 in the charts and getting respect throughout the IWC community.

I've been an avid wrestling fan since my childhood. I'venever seen titles change hands as much as I've seen within this month. Alsosince when does a champion lose on a frequent basis?
My focus is going to be on the WWE and no disrespect to ROHand TNA championships I'm also a fan of them also.
Do the WWE titles have history and prestige? Haven'tlegends held these belts and defended
It's been one year since I first wrote this blog, and this time last year I had just returned from my second visit to The O2 in London to see Raw. That night was a decent show considering it was a part of their European tour and WWE often uses their talent sparingly on such occasions, but tonight I literally felt the ground beneath me shaking.
Entrance H, Level 2 was where I was sat
this blog is all about what i would like to see at Extreme Rules.
1) Pre-Show - US Title - Kofi Kingston vs Fandango - It has been reported that Kingston is holding the title for fandango for when his fued with jericho is over but with Jericho with his band he wont be on very much, this should leave Fandango to go to work at champ. Winner = Fandango
2) Tag Team Titles - Team
Alternative Universe 11
It's a strange thing when you list the titles and championships won by a wrestler. Strange in the way that the reason they won them was not because they necessary were stronger, faster or better than their predecessor, but rather that somebody scripted it for them to win.
Maybe a better comparison to being world champion is like winning

Parvati Patil has been running ever since the end of the war. Could it be that the city of Venice, and the chance meeting with Charlie Weasley, will stop her?
Or will she have to fly instead?

Well.. I usually don't write blog..even if I have something to say, I prefer talk with friends on chat. This time been different 'cause I felt I had something to throw out of me... Since Korn came out, I've been a huge fan of them. Cause their sound chose me in some way. It's my own opinion the music choose us.. not the opposite. And that's what happened to me.

Restaurante La Rosa Garden Patio Complete!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | September 6, 2014
As part of our ongoing expansion of Hotel La Rosa de America, we are turning our attention to our rapidly growing Restaurante La Rosa! Due to very high volumes of guests in the 2014 High Season, we decided to expand both Hotel and Restaurant.
Hotel La Rosa is being expanded in two phases so as to ensure minimal impact on guests. Phase One was completed last year during the High Season. This was not our intent, however it took a staggeringly long time to receive Municipal authorization to conduct the expansion. However, we were ultimately successful and after retaining a very professional build company, we rapidly completed two new Superior Cabinas in a new area of the property.
In conjunction with this build were general improvements to La Rosa – including a new widened pathway around the main buildings and the addition of a planned, covered deck adjoining our Restaurant. This build was planned in conjunction with the first availability of teak wood, shipped from Finca de Maderas SRL, a separately owned but fully subsidized reforestation operation by Hotel La Rosa de America. All new furniture and building construction wood was from this 100% sustainable source and the teak has made beautiful furniture.
Restaurante La Rosa has now incorporated the new Garden Patio into the Restaurant and during our Mid-Season, used the area extensively for guests both for breakfast and in the evening. The surrounding gardens are designed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds and were planted three years ago in anticipation of this need. Placed around the area are numerous Gardenias as well. The fragrance from these bushes is incredible and can be smelled throughout the area.
To blend everything together, we recently hired some excellent local artists. They have provided spot on paintings, decoration and wall murals throughout the back of the hotel. We are very proud to showcase their work!
New for the 2015 Season will be our new breakfast buffet. We will be moving the entire buffet from inside the Restaurant to outside, placing it on the Garden Patio. We will be offering greater selection in a less cramped locale. Further we will be enhancing our morning breakfast staff so as to guarantee the buffet is always well stocked and fresh!
Come and join us during your trip to Costa Rica and as guests of Hotel La Rosa, take advantage of our private, for guests only Restaurante La Rosa! The Restaurant will be open for breakfast and supper both.
Hotel La Rosa hosts the Canadian Ambassador to Costa RicaPosted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | July 10, 2014
As a significant business in the local community of Barrio San Jose de Alajuela, the Staff and Ownership of Hotel La Rosa de America take our Corporate Stewardship and ethical responsibilities very seriously. We are involved in a number of environmental benefit programs and also educational programs. We feel strongly that to affect meaningful change, one must start in the classroom. A classroom needs to be supplied with both ethical instruction, and with suitable materials and infrastructure.
Recently, responding to a request from the Asociacion Caritativa Canadiense for volunteer assistance, our Costa Rica Airport Hotel offered to help organize and fund a 100 person benefit luncheon at the hotel. The objective of the fundraiser – to raise money to help repair and upgrade the most poorly maintained schools in Costa Rica. With the recent prolonged education strike and Government of Costa Rica funding problems, we felt that the time was very appropriate to offer a little light into a beleaguered sector of Costa Rican social and educational responsibility.
The response was heartening. On a very positive note, the tickets, which were sold for 12,000 colones each were purchased in almost equal measure by Canadian Expats
and local Ticos. For us this is very important as gaining local involvement is ultimately the key to lasting success. All proceeds from ticket sales were donated to the fundraiser. Also, there were a number of raffles, local business donations, and items for purchase – many items being donated by members of the Canadian Club of Costa Rica.
The event was well enjoyed by all and there were many activities and options for the guests to do. Besides "shopping" in the big tent set up for this purpose, guests could go swimming, sunbathing, walk the beautiful grounds of the hotel, sit and watch the FIFA football (soccer) game or simply sit around and talk or of course eat! La Rosa provided a full buffet for the event with a mix of Canadian and Costa Rican items including favorites such as Barbecue baked beans, Poutine for the French Canadians (!!) and Arroz con Pollo. Salads, appetizers, finger food, canapes, juice and of course lots of desserts rounded out the offering. A cash bar offered beers, wines, various pops, water and of course La Rosa Sangria!
We were honoured to have the opportunity to host the Canadian Ambassador to Costa Rica, Madam Wendy Drukier as well. In a relaxed and fun atmosphere, Ms Drukier first ascended the pre-prepared "soap box" to give her welcoming speech and then again to oversee the first Raffle Draw. In her speech to the guests, Ms Drukier extended her thanks to all the board members of the Asociacion Caritativa Canadiense (ACC) for their thoughtful and tireless hard work on behalf of others who are more needy.
La Rosa Staff were proud to be a part of such an event and to see so many people, local and foreign willing to help causes that were not directly their own, was a real
positive learning experience for them. This was the first time Hotel staff have had to manage not only a full hotel, but also host 100 extra people for the day. From the Owner's perspective they showcased their naturally friendly Costa Rican heritage well, and provided for a very meaningful and successful event.
This event raised thousands of dollars for the ACC school improvement projects around the country. We hope that this event can be repeated again next year… except with even more people attending!
Thank you to all who helped make this event a success.
Hotel La Rosa Christmas Thank you Party!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | January 21, 2014
This past year has been a very busy one for Hotel La Rosa de America and so, as a thank you to our staff, we rented a van, left a skeleton crew of volunteer staff behind to mind the hotel and zipped down to the coast for a day of fun. We combined this adventure with our yearly Christmas party so we got the hotel decorated and festive at the same time!
First stop was Tarcoles River Bridge (lots of Crocodiles here!) and then we continued down to the Jungle Villas Lodge in Manuel Antonio for the afternoon where we had lunch and enjoyed their three swimming pools.
Getting out of the pools resulted in a complex decision process of what to do next… with the ultimate decision being… "Lets go to the beach!". So, with the Hotel Owner driving, everyone piled onto the Manuel Antonio beach for a couple more hours – eventually returning to the Jungle Villas after dark.
All that hard work playing in the pools and beach worked up a big Christmas appetite so the next stop was the popular restaurant Ronnies run by none other than the semi-retired executive chef Ronnie! This place has incredible views and even at night, one can appreciate the feeling of standing on the edge of the World, looking out over the black ocean into infinity.
After all enjoyed supper we then piled back into the van for the return to the Central Valley and the hotel. All in all a great time and a fun way to say thank you to the staff at La Rosa for all out past successes and hopes for the future.
Springtime at La Rosa – Tweet!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | June 2, 2013
Looking around the gardens of our Alajuela Airport Hotel, we counted no less than 8 active birds nests! There are Motmots, Yiguirros (clay robins or pigeons), Thrushes and more all looking to make homes. The Motmots are the most interesting as they like to make nests in holes. We found a motmot busily making a nest in the side of a large hole that we had dug to improve drainage and were about to fill in. We had to stop! We have nests in trees, nests on gutter downspouts, nests in our lemon tree outside our Restaurant, nests on our motion sensor floodlights at the front gate, nests around our pool, in our baby Eucalyptus tree and an ostentatious triple decker mansion being built in a Christmas palm near the main walk to Reception!!! We know there are more but these are the most obvious!
Clearly the local avian population has been reading our online comments about being a Garden Oasis near the San Jose Costa Rica Airport!!!
So far only one nest has actually completed its function successfully with the hatching of three Yiguirros. About three weeks later we watched as the mother taught them how to fly. What a big first step to take after being cramped up in the nest for weeks! Another has bluish eggs (not sure what type as the mother is very elusive) and the other nests are either too high up or are still in the process of being built.
For us at Hotel La Rosa, this is a great sign as it shows that even with thousands of guests a year, we are able to maintain a balance with nature and in fact provide a suitable green area for them to breed and feel sufficiently secure. We hope that many of these birds come back next year to continue the cycle! In the mean time, for the summer and fall months, we still have our giant bird bath – our swimming pool, which is a favorite of a surprisingly large number of our local birds who can frequently be seen splashing around on the steps or in some cases actually diving into the pool for a bath.
Come join us at La Rosa and you can too enjoy our property, pool, and gardens with all the flora and fauna it supports!
Just in time for the 2013 High Season, all Hotel La Rosa de America SUPERIOR ROOMS now have air conditioning!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | November 1, 2012
Some guests have indicated a desire to have air conditioning at Hotel La Rosa. We have also found that typically it can get rather warm in the very busy months of February, March and April. Many of our guests visiting Costa Rica during these months are traveling from much colder northern climates and so we want their stays to be as comfortable as possible. Because La Rosa is a hotel located near the San Jose Costa Rica airport we enjoy the distinct advantage of a significantly cooler climate when compared with the coasts of Costa Rica. However as everyone has different preferences, options are good!
We have decided to provide all guests with the ability to choose! Our new Superior Rooms now come equipped with air conditioning – and a number of other service upgrades, whereas our Standard Rooms will remain with ceiling fans for those guests preferring the natural feel and sounds of the tropics at night. Both options are offered in conjunction with great rates and our famous service! Click this link to see the La Rosa de America Hotel Rates.
Superior Room upgrades include air conditioning, bar fridges, remodeled bathrooms, upgraded bedding and mattresses, new handmade hardwood beds, imported Egyptian cotton sheets, flat screen TV's and new room furniture.
For more information on our Superior Rooms and what they offer please check our our ROOM DESCRIPTIONS.
Hotel La Rosa de America is a great option for guests looking for a boutique hotel close to the San Jose Costa Rica Airport.
7.6 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Guanacaste Costa RicaPosted by Robert Hick in Uncategorized | September 5, 2012
Costa Rica has experienced a Richter 7.6 Earthquake. For all current and future guests and family please be assured that locally, in the San Jose, Costa Rica International Airport area initial indications are that damage is very minimal. Hotel La Rosa along with all guests and staff are safe and sound and our business continues as usual! If you would like to contact us please use our CONTACT US page and we will be happy to respond.
It seems that there was significant superficial and some structural damage to buildings and infrastructure in the Guanacaste area. However for an earthquake of this magnitude, the overall impact on Costa Ricans was thankfully light – all things considered. Due to the depth of the quake at approximately 41 km below the surface powerful shocks were felt over a very widespread area but on the positive side, the depth muted the violent shocks to a more heavy rolling feeling lasting about 30 seconds. This is in stark contrast to the much smaller and shallower (5 km deep) but far more deadly and damaging Richter 6.1 quake of 2009 that caused widespread havoc along the slopes of Poas Volcano and parts of the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Also, the 2009 quake occurred in very mountainous terrain and triggered huge landslides whereas the 7.6 quake struck in the Province of Guanacaste – an area dominated by gently rolling hills and flat plains.
Damages to buildings have been somewhat random and widespread. The CCSS Hospital in Puntarenas was significantly damaged causing evacuations of the patients. Landslides are covering roads leading to Nosara and Samara. There is damage to the Engineering School in the University of Costa Rica in downtown San Jose. Some structures in the hilly areas of Sarchi suffered collapse and in Grecia heavy shocks ruptured many of the above ground burial crypts in the local cemetery. It is reported that one very old secondary road bridge collapsed in the Sarapiqui area however the newer primary bridge remains unaffected.
It is a relief to see that the major effort of the Costa Rican Government to improve the National road network (including bridges) and general infrastructure (enforcing building codes for example) is bearing fruit. Many bridges have been seismically upgraded in the past three years and this is quite obviously important for a country that is so much a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Without these upgrades, and without a solid medical and emergency response able to reach damaged areas, the situation for the most severely affected residents could have been much worse.
Hopefully this quake was the much anticipated "BIG ONE" that has been predicted for years and that the built up pressure caused by the sub-ducting Cocos Plate under the Caribbean Plate has been substantially reduced.
La Rosa Benefit Climb – Cerro Chirripo 2011Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | November 1, 2011
Place of Enchanted Waters
Welcome to the blog home of Hotel LaRosa de America's charity climb! On Dec 5th and 6th we will be climbing Cerro Chirripo in Costa Rica to raise money and awareness to support the efforts of the Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary in the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. This organization is striving to protect animals within the National Parks of Costa Rica from poaching and degradation of habitat. To find out more about this worthy cause, please check out their website and associated news releases, blogs etc…
Also for future climbs, you can help by spreading the word and letting people know about this opportunity to blend a great holiday experience with some hard work, and a great payoff through supporting our environment.
Basic Facts about the Mountain
- Cerro Chirripo is 3,820 metres or 12,533 feet in hight.
- The second tallest mountain in Central America and the tallest in Costa Rica.
- Trailhead elevation is 1,520 metres
- Overall hiking distance is 40 km over two days
- Non technical climb – great for fit adventurers!
Our Guide
Integral to our climb is a strong desire to learn about the various environments that we will pass through. That, coupled with the extra safety of a guide, led us to search out one of the best! Amelia Garita, daughter of Jose – the man with the World Record for Chirripo ascents, has agreed to be our guide.
Amelia holds a degree in tourism from the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica, is bi-lingual and has extensive experience in the Chirripo region. We are very happy to have her join us!
The Itineray:
Day 1: Enroute from the Central Valley, we will cross over the famous Cerro de Muerte and see our first glimpse of the Cerro Chirripo rising over the omnipresent Talamanca Mists. Arriving in San Gerardo de Rivas on the afternoon of 04 December, we will enjoy a dip in the Thermal Springs prior to supper.
Day 2: Rising early, we will enter the Chirripo National Park and begin our hike, passing through many distinct climatic regions as we climb. After about 7 hours, we will enter the "La Cuesta del Agua" which will prove a challenge to our endurance! We will then enter the Paramo Valley and then stop at Base Crestones for the night.
Day 3: Rising early, we will have a quick breakfast, and then begin our climb to the Summit in time for a "continent spanning" sunrise. After an hour at the top, we will commence our descent down into the Valle de los Conejos (Rabbit Valley) and through the Paramo high altitude equatorial vegetation. If time and energy allows, we will take a look at the Cerro Terbi and Los Crestones features as well. Continuing our descent past Base Crestones, we will arrive back at the Hotel Uran before nightfall.
Day 4: After breakfast, and the inevitable swapping of stories and maybe a few aches and pains we will say goodbye and continue on with our holidays -until meeting up again at Hotel La Rosa prior to departing Costa Rica.
We are very excited about this chance to climb the highest point in Costa Rica and hopefully have the chance to see the Pacific AND Atlantic Ocean at the same time! Thank you for your participation and for your willingness to support our wildlife charity cause! See you at the top in a month!
Hotel La Rosa Book Donations UpdatePosted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | October 20, 2011
Book Donations Update:
Through the generosity of hundreds of our guests from all over the World, our Hotel near the San Jose Costa Rica Airport is nearing our initial goal of 5,000 books donated to local schools. Thank you for your support of our program. To have this kind of success in only three years has been a humbling experience for us and has left many local school Principals amazed at the generosity of people from countries they have only seen on a map!
Though clearly difficult to put a monetary value on these donations, we estimate that the resale value alone in Costa Rica would be in the area of $50,000.00 USD. Of course, the new book purchase value would be much greater. The great cost of books for Costa Rican Schools means that only the most important books for learning can be purchased. Novels, picture books etc are very much a secondary concern to having sufficient pens and paper, rulers etc. Sadly this is resulting in a culture-wide loss of the love of reading.
With the kind assistance of an expat Palestinian with close ties to the Women's Club of Costa Rica, and a local teacher,as well as the employees of Hotel La Rosa de America, we have been able to organize, sort into appropriate age groups, source deserving schools, and deliver over 3.500 books so far in English, French and Spanish as well as large numbers of school supplies. Some of the benefit schools, statistics and pictures can be found on our website page devoted to the project: Costa Rica Book Donations
Many of the schools we have donated to now have large numbers of books in English. To ensure that these donations are best used and distributed, we have volunteered to host the Women's Club at Hotel La Rosa and to potentially team up with this organization in order to expand the current scope of the program.
The WOMEN'S CLUB of COSTA RICA:
The Women's Club of Costa Rica has deep roots throughout Costa Rica, especially in the local schools and we believe that their experience with Costa Rican schools combined with books from Hotel La Rosa's Donation Program will lead to targeted donations that will provide the greatest benefit for Costa Rican children. The Mission Statement of the WCCR is "a philanthropic organization supporting education, primarily through scholarships and development of school libraries for children in Costa Rica."
To this end, our airport hotel will be hosting the next planning meeting of the Women's Club of Costa Rica on the 26th of October 2011. For Hotel La Rosa, this will be a charity event with all Hotel services donated for the event. During this meeting, Hotel Staff will introduce the "La Rosa" book donation project. We hope to continue our donation project and develop our new link with the Women's Club.
Again, thank you all for your great support of our book donation program, and let's keep the books coming!!
Focusing on our customer feed back!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | August 24, 2011
Once again, as the summer period draws rapidly to a close, we are faced with yet another transition into the wettest of the wet season. This is typically a time for consolidation among the various tourism businesses within Costa Rica and can sadly often lead to significant layoffs of employees across the country. At our Costa Rica airport hotel, we prefer to cross-train our existing employees to do "other" functions in the times we have few guests. This way, our employees can retain their jobs, and the hotel benefits by ensuring all our intensive training of staff is not wasted every year through layoffs.
During the Sept-Dec timeframe, we have traditionally focused on significant capital improvements to enhance the hotel, and to renew it's 15 year old services and presentation. However, this year, we are going to focus on customer feedback generated over the past year. This feedback is invaluable to us as it allows us to maintain what works and conversely to eliminate any problems that may come up over the course of hosting thousands of guests per year. This year we have received some guest concerns over hot water reliability. We are currently addressing these concerns and we expect to complete the change over from gas to an electric system by the end of August. It is disappointing to us that the carefully picked gas water on demand system failed to deliver what it promised to do. We had hopes of eventually removing ourselves from the power grid, by first converting all major energy users to gas and then utilizing solar for the remainder.
However, this plan has proven ineffective therefore we are adapting to a new electrical energy saving on demand system. When it is complete, guests will not be able to tell the difference between the systems they use at home and the much more power smart on demand system being put in place. Complete installation throughout the cabins is taking some time due to the need to rewire many areas of the hotel to 220 Volts, complete with heavier gauge wiring and breakers.
Other upgrades will include improvements to our existing WIFI system, finishing up of the exterior painting of the entire hotel, resurfacing and repainting of the walkways, and replacement and painting of the roof over the restaurant area. Significant upgrades to Cabin 12 and our handicapped certified cabin will also be done. Inside, we will be upgrading all our computer systems, installing wireless music and speakers in the common areas, and introducing a brand new reservation system for better guest management. Gone will be the hand-draulic paper based system complete with it's mountain of colour coded sticky notes!!!! Of course continued maintenance and minor improvements will continue apace!
As always, there is lots to be done. We want to ensure that Hotel La Rosa is 100% ready for the 2012 High Season so as to ensure maximum guest satisfaction! Shortly we will be making a blog comparing and contrasting some of the "then" and "now" differences at La Rosa as we will shortly be celebrating our fourth anniversary of hotel ownership in Costa Rica!
La Rosa enters the 2011 Green Season after busiest Dry Season ever!Posted by Robert Hick in Hotel Blog | June 4, 2011
Hotel La Rosa de America continues to thrive thanks to our many guests who chose to include us as part of their holiday plans this past season. As we enter the quieter time of the year we are looking forward to the opportunity to make more positive changes and upgrades to improve our service.
Hello once again and thank you to all of our guests who have helped make our cozy hotel near the Juan Santamaria International airport a success! We have enjoyed hosting our many guests from around the world – we have experienced increased diversity. The hotel now accepts Palestinian dollars for the convenience of our Palestinian guests and we are working towards accepting Euros.
In response to our increasing popularity with families, we have created two new family suites that can accommodate the needs of larger families. The suites have a double bed and two adult-sized hardwood bunk beds, thereby being able to host a maximum of 6 people. The suites have been very popular this year.
We have also done complete redecorating of our popular rooms, with new mattresses, bed linens, artwork, and nice touches that add to the tranquil ambiance of the rooms.
Our dining room has been redecorated also, and our breakfast service has changed to buffet-style, with more choices such as eggs, cheese, and cold meats for those who prefer more protein in the morning! Also our guests enjoy being able to control their service time, in the event that they are in a rush to get to the airport or get on with their trip. We now provide coffee service before the dining room opens, for our coffee lovers who need that cup of locally grown Costa Rican coffee right away!
Staffing has been restructured so that there is always someone available 24 hours a day, for guest needs. Our reception staff speak Spanish and English, and are always very happy to help. Hotel La Rosa de America staff pride ourselves on our exceptional service, and we have been repeatedly complimented by guests for the friendly service.
Our parking lot entrance has been resurfaced, with a lovely rose design motif added. Our gardens are blooming well, and the mango trees are heavy with fruit. More plants have been added outside the breakfast area, adding to the beauty of sitting down to a nice first meal. These plants are favorites for attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and also as an extra benefit, many have a beautiful scent.
We continue to make changes and improvements, and we will be focused on marketing, training and customer service in the upcoming months.
The dry season is winding down and soon the beautiful green season will begin, to the relief of the plants! We hope that many people will choose to travel during this lush time of year, where the sun still shines just about every day.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – A tornado carved a path of destruction through downtown Iowa City five years ago, injuring people and damaging buildings. The tornado caused about fifteen million dollars worth of damage.
About thirty people got injured.
As Elizabeth Oyarzun studies on a warm spring day, memories of what happened on this street still haunt her.
"I remember there were trees completely torn from the roots," Oyarzun said.
Back in 2006, a tornado terrorized Iowa Avenue and destroyed the neighborhood.
"It was devastating and now you look at it and it's like nothing happened," Oyarzun said.
Justin Webb was working at a Dairy Queen the night the twister tore off the roof of the business.
"The whole window was grey and I could hear rocks bouncing off of it. So, I screamed like a little girl and ran for the basement. I think my co-worker did, too," Webb said. "There was no roof at all. Come out of the basement it was so surreal. It was like a dream."
Before the storm, the shop seemed frozen in time. It had remained virtually unchanged for almost five decades. Now, everything's upgraded.
"The counters are now six inches farther apart now than they used to be," Webb said.
But, other things might be harder to change.
"I think it'd be really fun if we called our blizzards tornadoes," Webb said.
While it may have seemed hard to imagine in 2006, Iowa City has recovered. Few, if any, signs point to what happened here five years ago.

Does anyone have an idea on how to get multiple processes running within a loop? I've seen pictures of it on the blog, but no matter what I do with the mouse I can't seem to get it to happen in the NXT software.

I'm not sure if Ralph is porting Forth to the NXT or not (I'll try to find out - there are a lot of 3rd party SW offerings "in the works" as it were).
What problems are people having getting multiple sequences within a loop? Does the editor give you an error, or it's just devilishly hard to figure out how to drop orphan blocks into a loop?

If I read this message from Philo correctly, using parallel threads (beams) in a loop isn't possible; but apparently you can circumvent that using a user block. Hope it helps.

Yes... but read my response to Philo on this. It seems (unless this has been disabled in the current software - remember, I don't have that yet) that you can do parallel sequences within loops (and presumably Switches, where this is also an issue).

This was the best chili mac recipe I have ever made. Although I had to "rearrange" a few things because I just didnt have them in my cupboard! The only thing I lacked was a can of the Mexican stewed tomatoes and I had a can of regular, and I also added a can of chili beans, yummy!! Didn't have quite enough cups of cheese so I had slices of real Kraft cheese. Very creamy, not dry, very yummy with homemade bread a salad!
Can't quite see why you need to bake it for 30 min. Everything is already cooked before you place it in the oven.All you need to do is melt the cheese which can be done in 10-12 min.instead of 30.Baking it for 30 min dries it out.

Needed to use up some leftover spaghetti so followed recipe except left out the bell pepper and used chopped canned tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, and poured over the spaghetti. Husband loved it and thought it was as good as served by one of our local chain restaurants. Will definitely add this to his "favorites" list. Thanks for the post!
I made this recipe exactly as the recipe called for the first time through and we really enjoyed it. It was quick and easy to throw together. This is a great recipe to build on, you could add beans, corn, jalapenos, among other things to suit your personal taste. I will definitely make this again.
Followed the recipe but ended up adding tortilla chips on top and in total about 3 cups of cheese (2 cups on the very top). Also put some sour cream on it as well. Made it more like a taco mac versus a chili mac this way.
As always, I tried this recipe as is beforehand. It was really good, and with three people eating it, there ended up being no leftovers. Since the first time, the only change I made was adding more cheese to it, as the roommates really enjoy the extra cheesiness. It has become a staple and we have it pretty often as it is super easy to make.
loved it! did not add the cheese but put on top when we had it or warmed up some, thanks for the recipe!
I thought it was okay, a little drier than I expected. But we ate it last night and tonight will reheat the leftovers with another can of tomatoes to see what happens.

US Security Company Offers to Perform "High Threat Terminations" and to Confront "Worker Unrest" in Haiti
Here we go: New Orleans 2.0
By Jeremy Scahill | Rebel Reports | January 18, 2010
We saw this type of Iraq-style disaster profiteering in New Orleans and you can expect to see a lot more of this in Haiti over the coming days, weeks and months. Private security companies are seeing big dollar signs in Haiti thanks in no small part to the media hype about "looters." After Katrina, the number of private security companies registered (and unregistered) multiplied overnight. Banks, wealthy individuals, the US government all hired private security. I even encountered Israeli mercenaries operating an armed check-point outside of an elite gated community in New Orleans. They worked for a company called Instinctive Shooting International. (That is not a joke).
Now, it is kicking into full gear in Haiti. As we know, the member companies of the Orwellian-named mercenary trade association, the International Peace Operations Association, are offering their services in Haiti. But look for more stories like this one:
On January 15, a Florida based company called All Pro Legal Investigations registered the URL Haiti-Security.com. It is basically a copy of the company's existing US website but is now targeted for business in Haiti, claiming the "purpose of this site is to act as a clearinghouse for information seekers on the state of security in Haiti."
"All Protection and Security has made a commitment to the Haitian community and will provide professional security against any threat to prosperity in Haiti," the site proclaims. "Job sites and supply convoys will be protected against looters and vandals. Workers will be protected against gang violence and intimidation. The people of Haiti will recover, with the help of the good people from the world over."
The company boasts that it has run "Thousands of successful missions in Iraq & Afghanistan." As for its personnel, "Each and every member of our team is a former Law Enforcement Officer or former Military service member," the site claims. "If Operator experience, training and qualifications matter, choose All Protection & Security for your high-threat Haiti security needs."
Among the services offered are: "High Threat terminations," dealing with "worker unrest," armed guards and "Armed Cargo Escorts." Oh, and apparently they are currently hiring.

The article says the US Security Company offers to "deal with
'worker unrest'. Man, that sounds like a phrase I'd hear out a Russian gulag or a Chinese work camp!
The mask is off, folks. The NWO, which now effectively controls or manipulates most of the worlds' governments, is simply a criminal mafia, a world-wide mafia.

Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Threat to World Peace
By John Steinbach | Global Research | March 2002
"Should war break out in the Middle East again,… or should any Arab nation fire missiles against Israel, as the Iraqis did, a nuclear escalation, once unthinkable except as a last resort, would now be a strong probability." Seymour Hersh(1)
"Arabs may have the oil, but we have the matches." Ariel Sharon(2)
With between 200 and 500 thermonuclear weapons and a sophisticated delivery system, Israel has quietly supplanted Britain as the World's 5th Largest nuclear power, and may currently rival France and China in the size and sophistication of its nuclear arsenal. Although dwarfed by the nuclear arsenals of the U.S. and Russia, each possessing over 10,000 nuclear weapons, Israel nonetheless is a major nuclear power, and should be publicaly recognized as such.
Since the Gulf War in 1991, while much attention has been lavished on the threat posed by Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, the major culprit in the region, Israel, has been largely ignored. Possessing chemical and biological weapons, an extremely sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and an aggressive strategy for their actual use, Israel provides the major regional impetus for the development of weapons of mass destruction and represents an acute threat to peace and stability in the Middle East. The Israeli nuclear program represents a serious impediment to nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation… continue

Sharmine Narwani & Reme Sakr interviewed by Eric Draitser
This week, CounterPunch Radio host Eric Draitser sits down with two important guests to discuss all things Syria. The first part of the show is an in depth discussion with Beirut-based political analyst and commentator Sharmine Narwani. Eric and Sharmine examine the latest developments in the war in Syria with particular attention to the battles along the Syria-Lebanon border, as well as the role of Turkey and other regional players. They also touch on the ongoing conflict in Iraq and the way in which the US continues to play a double-game when it comes to Baghdad and the fight against ISIS.
The second part of the show features Syrian-Australian political activist Reme Sakr speaking from Syria. Sakr provides her insight into the collective psyche and daily life of ordinary Syrians after more than four years of war. She explains some of the hardships they face, as well as the nuances of how Syrians actually view this conflict, their country, and its institutions.

Deco Shapewear comes to town 0
Hey Fitting Talk readers,
So, recently I have been trying out the brand new Deco Shape range. Deco is without a doubt my favourite Freya Lingerie line as it gently moulds and shapes under any fabric – my go to essential – so the shapewear range had me all a-dither with excitement.
I love to wear retro style dresses; one I have is rather tight fitting, the other has a halterneck, and sometimes I just need a little helping hand. The fitted slip is great for just smoothing out any cheeky lumps and bumps for a smoother line, and the 3 -way bra can act as a strapless, halter neck or normal bra. Genius!
As summer is here and seems to be staying I love to dress up and get out and about. Have you tried the Deco Shapewear yet? What do you think?

4 Tips to Ace Your SAT Verbal and Writing
Every kid has nightmares about facing the SAT exams, one of the hurdles to their progress to a good college. Enough cannot be said about the importance of these tests, so it is imperative that preparation is thorough, because only with intensive study and planned strategy can you ace the SATs. Most students find it hard to score high marks on the verbal and writing portions; although mathematics is difficult, it can be aced if you study diligently. With the essay, sentence completion and other parts of the verbal and writing tests, you never know how you're going to be judged, so the best you can do is prepare as well as you can by:
• Starting young: The SATs may come into your life only when you graduate from high school, but that's no reason to wait till your senior year to prepare for them. In fact, the groundwork for the SATs has to begin when you're old enough to understand how important these exams are in your life. If you practice improving your vocabulary and reading as a daily habit right from the time you can read, you're going to have an edge over the competition when you take the SATs.
• Reading the right kind of books: It's not enough that you read; what's more important is that you read the right kind of books. There are some authors who improve your English and vocabulary and entertain as well, so make sure you include their books as part of your education. While your interest may lie with popular best sellers, you must make an effort to get through and enjoy books that are known to have words that are commonly found in SAT vocabulary questions, like Brian Aldiss, Kim Stanley Robinson, Vladimir Nabokov and K.W. Jeter.
• Improving your handwriting: You're going to have to write the essay using pen and paper, without the help of a word processor. So work on writing a few pages everyday so that your handwriting is neat and presentable even when you're writing at top speed. You also need to be able to write a complete essay without your fingers cramping or your writing going awry.
• Improving your presentation: You need to work on your presentation skills and learn how to use intelligent quotations in your essay, understand how to split it into paragraphs, and most important of all, know how to organize your thoughts and put them down in a cohesive format, one that flows from beginning to end and makes sense.
Remember, acing the SATs is a task that's all in the mind. If you train yourself to think positively, you're definitely going to be able to do well.

Lawmakers skeptical of VA strides
Later in the day, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, appeared on CNN to discuss the SEAL's situation. He said there is a moral obligation to care for the nation's veterans.
"What he has done is put a spotlight on a very serious problem," said Sanders, who met with the SEAL on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
During his appearance on CNN, Sanders said the VA is "working very aggressively" to institute measures, including a paperless claim system, to help ease the backlog of claims awaiting processing.
He acknowledged that "there are many veterans out there who don't know what they are entitled to." Nationally, nearly half of all returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have failed to access VA health care, according to the agency's own data.
During today's House hearing, some committee members, mostly Republicans, suggested that the VA might not be fully aware of the extent of mental health problems among the country's veteran population. They also argued that some may be choosing not to seek help from the VA, but instead seek treatment with state and local agencies or private companies.
"Could they be going somewhere else other than your crisis line?" Miller asked.
"We don't think so," Petzel replied, although he did not elaborate.
Veterans advocates called Petzel's response absurd. In an interview, Shad Meshad, a former Vietnam combat medic and the head of the Los Angeles-based National Veterans Foundation, said he was not surprised that bin Laden's killer had not sought care from the agency.
"Veterans stay away because it's an antiquated system," Meshad said, adding that the VA's elaborate bureaucracy and preference for psychotropic medicine over counseling discourage many veterans from seeking help.

Last year, our country was tragically reminded that space travel is a hazardous, and sometimes fatal, occupation. The loss of the shuttle Columbia and her crew was surprising to many in this day of "routine" space flight. But in the beginning, 45 years-or-so ago, there were no pretensions that the act of leaving the confines of Earth's atmosphere was anything but dangerous. The technology and the territory were totally uncharted, and the first astronauts were literally putting their lives on the line-allowing themselves to be strapped into capsules atop often unproven rocketships and shot off into the wide blue yonder. It started with the Mercury 7, a group of military test pilots who embraced the danger and excitement they faced and played as hard as they worked. Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom was one of the original seven astronauts, and like many of his colleagues, he also embraced the excitement inherent with driving a Corvette.
Grissom was a central figure in the genesis of America's space program. He joined the Army Air Corps too late to see service in World War II, but, after earning a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, rejoined the now independent Air Force in time to fly 100 combat missions in F-86 Sabre jets over Korea. By 1957, Grissom had attended Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California and was plying his trade at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio before being selected as one of the Mercury 7. Grissom's career was distinguished: he was the second American into space and the first American to enter outer space twice while at the helm of Gemini 1. Grissom wryly named the capsule (The Unsinkable) "Molly Brown" in reference to the Liberty Bell 7 that was lost at sea during his Mercury mission. That career ended in tragedy, however, when a flash fire during a launch pad test of the Apollo 1 craft he was commanding killed the three astronauts inside.
On a lighter note, Grissom was also central to the now well-known love affair between the early astronauts and Corvette, which began shortly after the inception of the space program itself. This relationship is documented in Tim Keenan's excellent article "Rocket Men in their Rocket Ships," which originally appeared in the Winter 1989 issue of Corvette Quarterly and was later reprinted in the Spring 1993 issue of Quest Magazine. The astronaut/Corvette relationship began when Alan Shepard, who became the first American in space aboard Freedom 7 in 1961, managed to get a '62 Vette from GM, even though GM never gave cars away. The program snowballed when Jim Rathmann, former Indy 500 winner and Chevrolet dealer to this day, set-up a special lease program for America's astronauts. Grissom and Shepard were some of the biggest gearheads of the bunch, and they played with their cars the hardest-constantly tinkering with their Vettes in an ongoing effort to one-up each other. It was part and parcel for these young men who were living on the edge-pushing the envelope, as pilots say.
It's no surprise, then, that Grissom's last Vette, the '67 drop-top pictured here, was loaded for bear. There's no missing the Rally Red paint with white stinger, or the red leather interior, for that matter. Grissom also ordered his Sting Ray with other niceties such as power windows and steering, an AM/FM radio, a telescopic steering column, Soft Ray tinted glass, and "Strato-Ease" headrests. Lest we forget what type of man ordered this car, however, we'll also point out that Grissom ordered up the hot ticket to Corvette power-the 435hp Turbojet V-8 fitted with the optional transistor ignition and backed by an M21 close-ratio four-speed. He also added the off-road exhaust option-F41 heavy-duty suspension, a 3.70:1-geared Posi-traction rearend, and a speed warning indicator that we doubt he rarely, if ever, heeded. Serious go-fast goodies, indeed. Unfortunately, Grissom's enjoyment of this very cool car was cut short.

Our State Geography in a Snap: Three Regions Overview
Reprinted with permission from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction website.
The three landforms of North Carolina make up the three major geographic regions of the state: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Mountains. The Coastal Plain Region is usually divided into two sub regions: the Outer Coastal Plain, commonly referred to as the Tidewater; and the Inner Coastal, which is less impacted by the effects of the ocean as it is located further inward.
