The Village of Saranac Lake covers parts of three towns (Harrietstown, St. Armand, and North Elba) and two counties, Franklin and Essex. The village boundaries do not touch the shores of any of the three Saranac Lakes; Lower Saranac Lake is a half mile west of the village. The northern reaches of Lake Flower, which is part of the Saranac River, lie within the village. The town of Saranac is an entirely separate entity, 33 miles to the northeast.
The village lies within the boundaries of the Adirondack Park, about seven miles from Lake Placid. These two villages, along with nearby Tupper Lake, comprise what is known as the Tri-Lakes region.
Saranac Lake was named the best small town in New York State and ranked 11th in the United States in The 100 Best Small Towns in America. In 1998 the National Civic League named Saranac Lake an All-America City and in 2006 the village was named as one of the "Dozen Distinctive Destinations" by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The village has 186 buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1876 Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau arrived to treat his own tuberculosis; in 1884 he founded his Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium, starting with a small cottage, called "Little Red", where two tubercular sisters from New York City became the first patients. Little Red, the first "cure cottage", was built on a small patch of land on the backside of Mount Pisgah which was purchased for Trudeau by several of his hunting guides. As more and more patients visited the region, including author Robert Louis Stevenson in 1887, Trudeau's fame grew. Soon, the sanitarium had grown so that it was entitled to its own post office, which would sort and deliver mail to its many patients. The Trudeau Institute, an independent medical research center, evolved from the Trudeau's work for the sanitarium. In 1964, the Trudeau Institute began researching the functions of the immune system and how it guards against many infectious diseases, including tuberculosis.
Telephone service was introduced in 1884, and the Chateaugay Railroad reached Saranac Lake from Plattsburgh in 1887.
The village was incorporated on June 16, 1892, and Dr. Trudeau was elected the first village president soon thereafter. Electricity was introduced on September 20, 1894, by installing water wheels on the former site of Pliny Miller's mill. Paul Smith, an important figure in the history of the village, purchased the Saranac Lake Electricity Co. in 1907, forming the Paul Smith's Electric Light and Power and Railroad Company, which eventually became part of Niagara-Mohawk. At the same time, the village began to stabilize, with public schools, fire and police departments, and other municipal facilities forming.
Starting in the 1890s and for the next 60 years, "Saranac Lake was the Western Hemisphere's foremost center for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis." (Gallos) An effective antibiotic was first used on human TB patients in 1921, but only after World War II did it begin to be widely used in the US. Thereafter, sanatorium treatment began to lose its importance, being phased out completely by 1954, when the sanatorium's last patient, Larry Doyle, left. Among the last of the prominent patients that sought treatment for Tuberculosis was Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina, the first Filipino president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, who died in Saranac Lake of tuberculosis, August 1, 1944.
But the village's preeminence in tuberculosis care had lasting consequences beyond the many large, handsome private cure cottages that were left vacant after the patients were gone. The effect of the hundreds of patients and doctors from all over the world who came to live in the village, many of them prominent in business, literature, science or another field, many of whom stayed for years, cannot be underestimated. Combined with the area's popularity with the power elite, who built their Great Camps on the nearby Saranac and Saint Regis Lakes, the effect was to change the sleepy village of 300 of the 1880s into the vibrant "little city" of 8,000, as the village has referred to itself for many years.
Saranac Lake became an especially busy town in the 1920s, with the construction of the Hotel Saranac and several new, permanent buildings after multiple fires destroyed a large part of downtown. Bootlegging was common in the village. During the 20s, entertainer Al Jolson and president Calvin Coolidge were semi-frequent visitors to the village— Jolson once performed a solo for three hours at the Pontiac Theater on Broadway Avenue.
In 1954, Saranac Lake hosted the world premiere of the Biblical epic film The Silver Chalice, Paul Newman's film debut. Several of the stars, including Virginia Mayo visited the village and participated in the winter carnival parade.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) vacationed in the village, and Albert Einstein had a summer home in Saranac Lake and could often be seen sailboating.
In recent years, Saranac Lake has become a more conventional tourist destination. The Hotel Saranac, until 2007 operated as a laboratory for hotel and restaurant management students of Paul Smith's College (now privately held), is a memorable early 20th century Deco structure. The former sanatorium is now the corporate call center for the American Management Association.
Many tourists come to the village, which is unusually attractive owing to its setting and the preservation of unique older architecture. Much of the village fronts on Lake Flower, which was created by a dam in the Saranac River and named after Governor Roswell P. Flower.
Summer visitors enjoy canoeing and other forms of boating, hiking in the forest, climbing in the nearby mountains, and visiting the local shops and restaurants. In the summer the Village of Saranac Lake offers free concerts in the park. Camping is also a popular pastime in the Saranac Lake region (List of area's state campgrounds).
During the long, cold, snowy winters, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling are popular activities. There is also an annual two week-long winter carnival, an event that has brought people together in celebration of winter since 1898. Each year the carnival is given a theme - 2008's theme was "Hooray for Hollywood." The Winter Carnival parade reflects the theme, and Garry Trudeau, the creator of the comic strip Doonesbury who grew up in the town, creates artwork with characters from his comic strip doing things related to the theme for a button that can be purchased each winter. The carnival's main attraction is the ice palace, which is made with blocks of ice taken from Lake Flower and illuminated with colored lights, along with various winter activities and competitions. These include a parade, which normally has several Bagpipe and drum marching bands and the always favorite Lawn Chair Ladies, along with more usual floats and local school bands. Each year a Winter Carnival King and Queen, who preside over carnival activities, are selected from village residents based upon their contribution to Saranac Lake. There is also a winter rugby game.
A non-profit Village Improvement Society, dating from 1910, currently owns and maintains eight parks. The extensive parkland along the lakefront, now owned by the village, is the result of the Society's earlier efforts.
Every year the popular Bud Light Can Am Rugby Tournament, the largest such tournament in the Western Hemisphere, is held in the village.
The cartoonist Garry Trudeau, who draws the Doonesbury comic strip, was raised in Saranac Lake. He is the great-grandson of Edward Trudeau, described above. Garry Trudeau has maintained his connections to Saranac Lake.
The Adirondack Regional Airport is 8 miles northwest of the village. Adirondack Trailways serves Saranac Lake, and is part of the Greyhound Lines bus system.
Saranac Lake is located at (44.325988, -74.130944).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 3.0 square miles (7.8 km²), of which, 2.8 square miles (7.2 km²) of it is land and 0.2 square miles (0.6 km²) of it (7.33%) is water.
The village is located at the junction of the Towns of North Elba and St.Armand in Essex County, and Harrietstown in Franklin County.
The village is at the intersection of New York State Route 3 and New York State Route 86. Essex County Road 33 enters the village from the southeast, and Franklin County Road 47 joins NY-86 immediately north of the village.
The closest major metropolitan city is Montreal, Canada, 112 miles to the north. Plattsburgh, New York is 50 miles to the northeast, Burlington, Vermont is 64 miles to the east and Albany, New York is 149 miles to the south.
As of the census of 2000, there were 5,041 people, 2,369 households, and 1,182 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,812.0 people per square mile (700.1/km²). There were 2,854 housing units at an average density of 1,025.9/sq mi (396.4/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 96.87% White, 0.75% African American, 0.32% Native American, 0.48% Asian, 0.26% from other races, and 1.33% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.07% of the population.
There were 2,369 households out of which 25.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 35.2% were married couples living together, 10.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 50.1% were non-families. 40.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 14.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.09 and the average family size was 2.88.

A poignant, powerful distillation of the Holocaust experience from the internationally acclaimed writer and Nobel laureate.In his first book, Night, Elie Wiesel described his concentration camp experience, but he has rarely written directly about the Holocaust since then. Now, as the last generation of survivors is passing and a new generation must be introduced to mankind's darkest hour, Wiesel sums up the most important aspects of Hitler's years in power and provides a fitting memorial to those who suffered and perished. He writes about the creation of the Third Reich, Western acquiescence, the gas chambers, and memory. He criticizes Churchill and Roosevelt for what they knew and ignored, and he praises little-known Jewish heroes. Augmenting Wiesel's text are testimonies from survivors, who recall, among other moments and events: the establishment of the Nurembourg Laws, Kristallnacht, transport to the camps, and liberation.With this book — richly illustrated with 45 photographs from the U.S. Holocaust Museum -- Wiesel proves once again the ineluctable importance of bearing witness.

i don't know how…
You just have to let yourself…there is no wrong way to be you.
I found a different quote yesterday that basically said the same thing. So that's the same message in two ways in two days. Enough said.
focusing on the present time, that's my practice right now.
Gorgeous image and a great anchor for freeing self expression!
A couple of years ago…a friend and I went to a psychic and she said I was a wild stallion and my friend was a squirrel. I need to quit hoarding things and be that wild stallion….give up the past and live the now!!!!
I'm "here now", focusing on the present and I am free :)
What I love about this quote is the reminder that the most valuable things that comes out of all that we go through in life is not some project or product but ourselves – who we become. The things we earn and do and accomplish in this world fade with time, but the quality of who we are is eternal. ~ Blessings ~

Peripheral nerve blocks are a type of regional
anesthesia. The anesthetic is injected near a specific
nerve or bundle of nerves to block sensations of pain from a specific area of
the body.
Nerve blocks usually last longer than local anesthesia. They are most
commonly used for surgery on the arms and hands, the legs and feet, or the
Proper positioning of the needle during a nerve block may involve
touching the nerve to be blocked with the tip of the needle. When this occurs,
you may experience a sharp sensation like an electrical shock in the part of
the body supplied by the nerve. Be sure to let your anesthesiologist know if
you feel such a sensation.
Other medications are often given with nerve blocks to make you
relaxed or sleepy (sedatives) or to reduce pain. These are given through a vein
(intravenously, IV).
People are carefully monitored during the procedure because the
anesthetics used for regional nerve blocks may affect the
central nervous system, cardiovascular system, and
respiratory system (airway and lungs) and may significantly affect breathing,
heartbeat, and other vital functions.
Nerve blocks may be most useful when the procedure:

Taxi 2.0 service Uber hits Sydney
news US-based personal transport startup Uber has started testing its service in Sydney, encouraging Sydneysiders to download its mobile application and start requesting rides instead of using existing taxi services.
The company's model – which sees it connect luxury vehicles with passengers through a mobile app, has caused chaos in the taxi and personal transportation industries in a number of major US cities, starting in San Francisco in 2010. It has since started expanding internationally, adding cities such as Vancouver and Toronto in Canada and Paris in France.
In several cities, Uber has been accused of breaching local taxi regulations, and has been forced to fight a series of running battles with city administration in order to continue operating. For example, in Washington in January this year, an Uber driver's cab was impounded as part of a sting operation by the city's taxicab regulator, which had alleged Uber was operating an unlicensed taxi service. Similar issues have been raised in San Francisco, Massachusetts, Chicago and more.
In a post on Uber's company blog today, the company revealed it had kicked off what it described as a "super secret stealth scenario" in Sydney, with the first ride locally being taken by the Sydney dance band Art vs. Science. "It's a Friday morning in Sydney, and summer may be around the corner, but the taxis definitely aren't," Uber wrote.
"Stranded in the east trying to get to their recording session, the boys hit up their Uber app. Straight away, a black Caprice rolled up, driven by seasoned professional William. In that portentous moment of glory and explosiveness, Art vs. Science was crowned Uber Sydney's "Rider Zero". So begins Uber's super secret stealth scenario starring Sydneysiders!" The company dubbed its Sydney service its "First Fleet", and said it was currently testing the model locally, warning customers it was "bound to hit some snags". "Over the coming weeks, we'll be tinkering with our pricing, placement, and positioning," it wrote.
"While we're in "test mode," you can request an Uber, but be aware that availability will be limited until our official launch. If you're one of the lucky few that's able to grab an Uber, make sure you shoot us heaps of feedback on your experience so that we can make our Sydney launch hotter than this summer's going to be. You can chat with us at email@example.com or chuck us a tweet @Uber_Sydney. Heads up nUbers, this is strictly for Adventurous Riders Only!" An anonymous tip to Delimiter this morning suggested Sydney users use the code "sydneystealth" when booking through Uber.
Uber is not the first company to attempt to reform the Australian taxi industry, which, like the US equivalent, is highly regulated. In January this year, for example, a 19-year-old Australian developer, Zac Altman successfully launched an online service for taxi users in Australia focusing on mobile bookings.
According to a statement issued by Altman's company, Taxi Pro, this week, the developer learnt iPhone development in his free time in high school. Taxi Pro was conceived and developed by him while he was in his final year. He was then awarded a scholarship to the University of technology Sydney. His iPhone application attracted over 40,000 users even before it was formally advertised, predominantly by word of mouth.
Taxi Pro released its Android application on 17 December 2011. This won Altman the second place in the Optus' Unleash Your App competition that invited entries from all over the country. The prize included $1000 in cash and a Samsung Galaxy S II Android smartphone. Apple has featured the application a number of times and it is very popular because of its simplicity. Users in Sydney can book a taxi within 5 seconds, making it one of Sydney's fastest and most simple taxi booking service. At the time, Taxi Pro supported taxi networks in places like Sydney and Adelaide but not in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Efforts are on to cover all these cities and more.
The service allows users to make their bookings through various cab networks like Premier Cabs, Taxis Combined and Legion Cabs, seeing its main competitor as CabCharge. This is the largest taxi conglomerate whose services extend internationally to Singapore.
TechCrunch wrote about Uber in August 2010: "If you live in San Francisco and you haven't tried UberCab yet, do it. The service, which we first covered in July, eliminates everything bad about a taxi experience … When I tried UberCab a few days ago I had to wait just 5 minutes for the car to arrive (a big Mercedes), and the overall experience was way better than a taxi."
Could Uber disrupt the Sydney taxi market — hell, even the Australian taxi market as a whole? God, I hope so. I hope so soooooo much. Let me explain why.
As a small business owner and a journalist, I am a frequent user of taxis. I catch taxis at minimum around Sydney 3-4 times a week, and sometimes more. The reason I do this is that it's much more convenient than driving myself, given that I'm always hopping around Sydney's inner suburbs to meetings in places where there is no parking, and that I am also a shocking driver who would be almost guaranteed to crash my car into something or other at least once a month. So I catch taxis and other forms of public transport instead.
Over the past few years, I've learnt to avoid Legion cabs (because they're universally shocking, in terms of driver skills and the actual cleanliness of the car), and if I'm booking a taxi or if I can find one, I always prefer Silver Service, because the car is guaranteed to be clean and the driver professional. I'm probably one of Silver Service's most loyal customers. I will catch other taxis if I have to, but I prefer Silver Service, because it's just better.
But even so, there are problems. Sometimes when I book online, Silver Service cabs simply never turn up. Sometimes you get a shitty lesser brand instead. And it's always hard, when you're just trying to flag someone down, to know what you're going to get. In addition, Silver Service doesn't give you any ongoing rewards for using their service regularly.
Uber turns all of this on its head. You want a trip somewhere? Hit the book button on your smartphone app, and an Uber car will likely turn up very shortly; clean, billed through your smartphone, with a professional driver and none of the usual taxi crap. As TechCrunch wrote, using Uber takes all the crappy taxi crap out of using the crappy taxi system. And that's exactly what I am looking for.
Of course, it's practically a fait accompli that Uber will run up against the same taxi regulatory nightmares in Australia, especially in Sydney, as it has overseas. The Sydney taxi scene, is notoriously regulated heavily and run by a very small number of highly predatory companies. Ask any taxi driver how it works. They'll tell you just getting a set of 'plates' is a nightmare, and forget trying to be an independent, or, even worse, trying to introduce a better service, such as electric taxis or even just anything which isn't the standard Ford or Holden model.
Please, Uber, please. PLEASE. Come and disrupt Australia's shitty, shitty, SHITTY taxi industry. Hire a bunch of lawyers and fight your way into this scene. We need you desperately, and I couldn't be more happy that the company is expanding into Australia. As a frequent user of this kind of transport, I will support you to the utmost of my ability :)

Uber is awesome. Best of luck to them. Disrupt the taxi business, please.
Taxi Pro, never heard of em. Best of luck to em as well.
Premier Cabs is one of the very very few advertisers of any note on Alan Jones' show, so there's an automatic need to avoid them.
I just wish Silver Service would realise that Carrington Road in the Eastern Suburbs has 3 sections
Coogee, Randwick and Waverley. Sick and tired of standing on the corner outside my place and then being advised there was no one at the address. There are no trees and it is a corner house but they do not know the area.
Here's an idea for you Sue: walk next door to the other corner address, and have them pick you up from there. That's if you can't manage to edge in "Carrington Rd, in RANDWICK"…
The taxi industry in Australia is notoriously closed and insular, and woe betide anyone who offers an alternative payment system to Cabcharge. Macquarie Bank tried to break the stranglehold with their Lime Taxis business, which they consequently sold when they realised it was going nowhere.
Good luck to 'em, they'll need it!
If you're lucky to get to know some of the good cabbies you will hear that some of them create an private network within their respective companies, giving better service and higher quality assurance but without a call centre.
This sounds cool but we also need something to shake up taxi payments. Cabcharge has a ridiculous monopoly and gets away with a credit card surcharge few other industries match. A great solution would be Uber with one of those digital payment platforms. Perhaps the time isn't yet right?
Uber Yellow (as its called in the usa to distinguish it from the limo Uber Black) was introduced in NY a few months ago and shut down this week.
Basically….not enough interest by drivers or users. Lets face it i can walk outside my apartment and flag a cab faster than i can fill out the app……
sio the real question is does Sydney need more technology in the cab industry…..or does it need more cabs?
It wasn't lack of interest. New York taxi regulators shut the service down. New York taxis are required by law to pick up the first person hailing them on the street, which makes it illegal for them to ignore hailers in favour of pre-booked passengers.
Tony, NYC Taxi Commission is already putting together a panel on modifying the rules, lots of online chatter here about lack of users being the real driver on the closedown.
and sorry but if you've ever caught a cab here you'll see lots of not for hire signs eg the driver trying to get from brooklyn back into manhattan etc.
I hate the taxi pickup at Sydney airport so much I've reverted to the Train for a less shitty transit experience. My main gripe is that you are rolling a dice for the cab that will roll up to bay 6 (or wherever you are standing) and it will, 19/20 times, be some shitty broken and smelly EA Falcon with crapped out seats and some hideous knocking noise coming from the real axle. To add insult to injury, when you get in you can bet your bottom dollar the driver (who has driven to the airport all the way from Cambelltown, where he lives and knows) will have no idea where ATP is, and if he does, will crack it because its only a $25 ride.
So +100 to Renai for featuring this. So long as the cars are licensed 'hire cars' there should be no issues with the regulators
Need heard of Taxi Pro either – And isn't uber exactly like DELUX, except without the upfront price? They've been doing this for years in Melbourne and apparently coming to Sydney soon, I don't know if I'd rely on a 19 year old or a company that's in legal battles all over the US! Props to both the young guy and uber tho, hopefully *someone* comes and redefines things!!
FYI Über is currently operating illegally in Sydney. Hire Car regulations clearly state that the cost of the fare must be pre-determined before the fare. With uber it's not they are they are determining the fare via GPS based on time, distance and speed through the IPhone which makes the iPhone a mobile taxi meter this is 100% illegal. Hire Cars can not by law have a taxi meter in there vehicles.
Our local taxi company http://www.marbellataxis.com is using uber with a digital platform and found it be very effective.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists are a crutch for people to use when they don't want to take responsibility for their own actions - by posting the data to a free-flowing information hub, it renders their ability to remain a mysterious and magical... er... scientific establishment... null and void because people realize it's all a crock of crap.
Society needs to take responsibility for it's own actions - not do something bad and say "Oh, this test said I'm crazy, so not my fault"

- What's the harm? All I see is a bunch of pictures that look like someone poured some ink on some paper and then folded and unfolded the paper. Oh, except for the one that looks like a small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron.

i can tell you who is the best spey caster in the world
Best all time at anything is always just a subjective label. Other than Gretzky, there really isn't a way to label anyone in any sport.
Broncos look good and Seahawks are now fun to watch..... Iff'n I actually wanted to sit around on a weekend day and watch a bunch of overpaid athletes dance like idiots after every play.... I'm a huge sports fan but there are almost always better things to do in life than sit around and watch a bunch of people who really don't give a shit about anything other than the name on the back of their jersey.
I absolutely hate these kind of statements, I'm sorry. It takes 22 men to win a football game, let alone a championship. On your logic, Jim Kelly is just "average or slightly better". The man lead his team to four straight Super Bowls, and the team lost all four. The first one, on a missed "chipshot" field goal, as time expired. Which Jim Kelly lead them down the field with seconds remaining. He did his part.
Thus, any athlete on a team sport, shouldn't be measured by championship rings. Just look at Barry Sanders...
I'm sorry, that kind of statement should be left for golf, tennis, and other individual sports.
Who is it Bass?
Nate treat
I love the seahawks , while most of you were watching the game I was down at the ivy hole on the lower stilly fighting it out with some silver salmon, keep watching those games I'm enjoying the solitude of sundays !!!!

GRAYTON BEACH — After growing up on a dairy farm where he helped milk 140 cows a day before breakfast, TC Cannon tried to make his way in the world by racing cars.
The Birmingham teenager left Alabama for California with a single, hard-sided suitcase.
"I had 'CALIF' painted on one side and 'Alabama' painted on the other," he recalls.
Depending on which direction he was traveling, Cannon flashed that side to motorists along Route 80.
"I hitchhiked back and forth," he said, flashing another youthful smile. "More than once."
Despite building and driving race cars and once even working for a pit crew at Daytona, he never found professional success. It was the same with the military; he had three honorable discharges from three branches of the service.
Instead, he started owning and operating bars, mostly in the Birmingham area, and explored business ventures with some good friends. Now, he's the last original owner of the Red Bar building.

A day off to do what you love? Camper's new campaign does just that
As it's Friday, thoughts are turning to how to make the most of these two glorious days of freedom about to be unleashed on us – but wouldn't it be great if you were just given a bonus day off on the condition you use it to do something you love? That's the charming premise behind Camper's new campaign which has kicked off with a series of videos featuring the brand's employees – from store staff to accountants – kicking back and doing something they're passionate about.
And for the next weeks they're asking you, the good people of the internet, to get involved by sharing what you would do with a precious day off. You can submit ideas or images using the #dowhatyoulove hashtag across Twitter and Instagram or through the Camper Facebook page, and each week someone will be selected to win some of their new Spring/Summer range, plus there's a chance to win a shopping trip as well. Sweet.
Visit the Camper/dowhatyoulove site to found out more.

The day that Ali Ben Bongo was proclaimed the winner of Gabon's presidential poll, opposition supporters set fire to the French consulate in Libreville, underscoring the level of anti-French anger fuelled by Bongo's victory.
George Mpaga is president of the Gabonese network of civil society and good governance organisations (ROLBG).
I don't know if French people are actually in danger. But the situation is unpredictable. Anything could happen."
Serge is a French cameraman who's currently reporting in Libreville.
Filmed at Peace Square, Wednesday, by Serge.
"Western countries shouldn't interfere in our business. France must not force Ali upon us."
Filmed at Peace Square, Wednesday, by Serge.
"If France interferes, we'll kill French people right here."
"If France turns a turn blind eye on Bongo, then the next place for recruiting Jihadists will be right here."
"I'm calling on the international community to talk to the Gabon authorities. We've elected our president. It's Pierre Mamboundou."
"Ali bongo is a cockroach. Show that to all TV channels."
expatriates life in danger.
Port Gentil,5/8/09.
Almost all the shops and oil stations, in Port Gentil, have been burnt and goods worth millions have been stolen.Army and police officials seems incapable to control the situation. It has also been seen that army men are stealing the shops.
Meanwhile, all the local news channel broadcasts have been cut, and residents, have no informations on the ongoings. The newly elected president seems to be more interested in celebrating his victory rather than saving the lifes and properties of thousands.
Amidst all these, the lifes of expat population in Port Gentil, seems to be in a great danger.
Also, many consulars of different countries have fled before the election began, without any consideration for their nationals.
Do you really think that the french have nothing to do with this fraululent election ??
They'll keep on exploiting savagely the country natural resources without impunity and ensure to keep in place a corrupt regime that can serve their interest .
isn't the french story everywhere in africa ?
Its America's and Bush's fault dont you know?

Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi believes victory for Oman in tomorrow's Olympic play-off in Coventry would provide another substantial breakthrough to football's final frontier. Long gone are the days when Europe and South America nurtured all the best players. Africa, east Asia, Oceania and North America have all provided a significant presence in the major leagues for well over a decade now. But the Middle East remains largely uncharted territory for English clubs.
Al Habsi is a lone presence in the Premier League and when the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ was awarded to Qatar, it provided the region with a target a target to raise their game for. Since, the United Arab Emirates have already secured a berth at this summer's Olympics and tomorrow night at the Ricoh Arena, Al Habsi will be cheering from the sidelines as Oman look to join them by beating Senegal.
"As a region, we are late starters," the 30-year-old told Press Association Sport. "But small things are making a difference for everybody. Sheikh Mansour is doing amazing things at Manchester City, Qatar has the World Cup, which is amazing. We had the Under-20s World Cup in UAE and Qatar. Now all the young players watch me a lot in the Premier League. They have the same dream."
Al Habsi notes with pride that since he took a chance and followed up the groundwork undertaken by John Burridge, who noted his ability during a stint in Oman, and joined Bolton in 2005, 21-year-old Emirates defender Hamdan Al Kamali has joined Lyon and Saudi Arabia international Osama Hawsawi just signed for Anderlecht.
Too often, progress has been hampered by an in-built desire for instant results. Oman, for instance, have gone through a staggering 27 international managers - including Ian Porterfield - in the last 30 years. Latest to try his luck is Paul Le Guen, who only lasted nine months at Rangers.
Yet Al Habsi has been impressed by Le Guen's methods, which will be transferred onto the Olympic set-up tomorrow. "None of the Arabic countries give the coaches a chance to build," he said. "Results are demanded immediately. You can't work like that in football. You have to give a coach chance to get to know the mentality of the players.
"That is what Le Guen is doing. He is trying to mix talented young players and mix them with experienced ones," the goalkeeper revealed. "Already we have reached the last stage of World Cup qualification, knocking out Saudi Arabia and beating Australia, which has never happened before. Now we are one game from reaching the Olympics, which would be the biggest footballing achievement my country has ever had."
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez gave Al Habsi permission to join up with his fellow countrymen immediately after yesterday's 2-1 defeat at Fulham, although, for now, his presence is purely motivational. However, should Oman make it through, Al Habsi intends to play in the Olympics. "I would love to be part of the Olympics," he said.
"I have played many games in the Premier League but this is something different. It would be the first time in our history we had ever qualified for a tournament such as this. That is why I want to be with the Olympic team this week and be behind the players, so every time they look, they will see me."
However, Al Habsi admitted tomorrow's game will be tough: "It is going to be far harder than any game I have played. It is a dream and everyone involved has to give everything."

After purchasing land in Ontario in 1892, C. C. Graber discovered olives, as cured by the earlier ranchers, to be one of the finest food delicacies of California. After research and study of this method, Mr. Graber cured several barrels and the following season a much greater quantity was demanded by neighbors and friends who had eaten from the original barrels. Thus began Ontario's oldest existing business.
And now, since 1894, Graber Olives, fully tree-ripened with delicate rich flavor and succulent texture, continue to be enjoyed by generations of families not only in California but throughout the world.

United Way Goes For Another 2 Million Goal
Here's a sure sign of fall...another United Way campaign has begun in La Crosse.
For the third straight year, the Great Rivers United Way is aiming for a donation total above two million dollars. But agency director James Falvey wants people to look beyond the money, at the mission of the United Way members, to take care of your neighbors.
Falvey says 12 local companies in the Pacesetter campaign already have raised close to 900-thousand dollars...nearly halfway to the new goal.

A friend of mine has a '97 Lumina. 3100 engine, 110k on it. She's been having some odd problems with it lately.
These are all "occasional" problems. Open the door and sometimes it'll take about 10 seconds for the dome light to pop on. The ABS light will come on randomly... step on the brake and the light goes off. The clock on the radio randomly resets to 11:00. If she hits a hard bump (railroad tracks for example) the car will simply die.. it'll restart like nothing happened. I think random idiot lights will come on and go off, many at a time.
Awhile ago, she said something about how it would die if you put it in drive, but it would run fine in reverse. I think that was quite some time ago, but it was something that happened for a few days, then never happened again. Probably not related.
The battery and alternator are new within the past few years. The terminals and all grounds are tight and clean. The aux post is tight. Any idea what it could be?

Circle Line Cruises
The Circle Line's famed three-hour guided circumnavigation of Manhattan Island ($24–$37) is a fantastic way to get your bearings and see many of the city's sights as you pass under its iconic bridges. Themed tours include a New Year's Eve cruise, a Fourth of July celebration, an evening "Harbor Lights" sailing tour (Mar–mid Apr) and an autumn foliage ride to Bear Mountain in the Hudson Valley (mid Sept–Oct). If you don't have time for the full trip, there's a two-hour "Liberty" tour that goes around downtown to the Brooklyn Bridge and back. From May through September, the Beast ($19–$25) offers a fun, adrenalin-inducing and splashy 30-minute ride. Pier 83, 42nd St at the Hudson River (212-563-3200, circleline42.com). Subway: A, C, E to 42nd St–Port Authority.
Circle Line Downtown
The separately run Circle Line Downtown has a more intimate vessel, the Zephyr, for tours of lower Manhattan (Apr–Dec, $28), including summertime Happy Hour cruises on Thursday and Friday nights ($26, May-Oct) for over-21s (May–Oct, $30). The Shark (Apr–Oct; $17–$24) is the downtown offshoot's answer to Circle Line Cruise's Beast. Pier 16, South Street Seaport (866-977-6998, 212-809-0808; circlelinedowntown.com) Manhattan by Sail Set sail on the Shearwater, an 82-foot luxury yacht built in 1929. The Sunday champagne brunch ($79) or full-moon ($45) sail options are lovely ways to take in the skyline. The eight-sail tall ship, Clipper City, embarks from Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport. North Cove, Hudson River, between Liberty and Vesey Sts (800-544-1224, 212-619-0885; manhattanbysail.com). Subway: A, C to Chambers St; E to World Trade Center; 2, 3 to Park Pl. Mid Apr–Oct, times vary
New York Water Taxi
Like their earth-bound counterparts, New York water taxis are bright yellow, speedy and a great way to get around town.

Offerings include daily Statue of Liberty Express tours ($16–$26) year-round, daily "Statue by Night" cruises with a free champagne toast for over-21s ($26), and an "Audubon Eco-Cruise" ($36) on summer weekends that takes you to uninhabited South Brother Island, a breeding ground for migratory birds such as the great egret (Jun–Aug, see website for specific days). Pier 17, South Street Seaport (212-742-1969, nywatertaxi.com)

During this commuter barge's free 25-minute crossing, you get superb panoramas of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Boats leave South Ferry at Battery Park and run 24 hours a day. Battery Park, South St at Whitehall St (718-727-2508, siferry.com). Subway: R to Whitehall St–South Ferry; 1 to South Ferry; 4, 5 to Bowling Green

The SIL worked fine with 1 drive, but not with 2.

I'd say the chipset sucks, but at work I have some 3114s that work just fine,
albeit they're embedded into higher end motherboards, so... perhaps the bad
combination of the chipset and a cheap card makes >1 drive usage suck.

The Show With Vinny Promo — Watch Vinny and His Mom in Action! (VIDEO)
So close yet so far away...Vinny Guadagnino's spin-off The Show With Vinny airs May 2, 2013 on MTV at 10/9c. We're dying to see it, and to curb our Vinny craving until then, we've got an awesome promo to share.
In the promo clip below, Vinny tries to explain what makes his hybrid reality/talk show special, but his mom Paula (adorably) keeps interrupting him! When Vinny points out that celebrities are so used to getting pampered, she breaks in with, "I do that, I pamper them!"
It's a little taste of what's to come from Vin's fun and crazy Italian family, and if the rest of the show is this funny and cute, then we're definitely excited to see it. Not only will there be plenty of mama Paula and Uncle Nino each episode, but celebrity guest stars like Lil Wayne and Ke$ha as well.
Are you excited for The Show With Vinny? Watch the promo clip video, then sound off in the comments!

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Ben Bold, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 29 October 2010 11:45AM
The aim of the strategic partnership is to allow WPP to improve its clients' engagement with Facebook users.
WPP's investment will enable it to incorporate Buddy Media's platform into its technological products, so that brands can easily integrate Facebook-targeted marketing into their campaigns and monitor their effectiveness.
The deal also includes training in the use of the system for WPP agency staff.
Mark Read, WPP Digital's chief executive, said: "As Facebook has surpassed the half-billion-users milestone, and is effectively the third largest country in the world, it is no longer a matter of if brands should have a presence on Facebook, but how they can be successful."
"In the same way that brands have software for managing websites and search campaigns globally, it is also now appropriate that we have software that will help manage the fastest growing communication medium of all time, Facebook."
The $5m investment is additional to the company's recent Series C fundraising of $23m.
Earlier today WPP revealed its third quarter revenue had risen 12.2% to £2.2bn.

What I'm Currently Addicted To...
Predictable solutions for mind interventions - ADHD is the door that opens the pathway to greater understanding of the complexity of brain function and biomedical interventions. See This Complimentary Alert: Predictable Solutions For The 10 Biggest Problems With ADHD Meds - http://www.corepsychblog.com/adhdbook
This Is Annoying Me...
Psychiatric treatment based upon superficial labels unrelated to underlying brain and body function - and the pervasive denial that biomedical evidence matters.
This Is Making Me Worry...
Thousands of people are treated daily in the USA and elsewhere for thinking problems - without thinking about thinking. Details in my book: New ADHD Medication Rules: http://www.bit.ly/rulesbooks
This Is Bringing Me Joy...
Our teams increased precision in practice with folks that present for complex refractory mind-states - better outcomes, shorter treatment conundrums.
I'm Running From...
The limitations and denial of current psychiatric labels. Some ask if I am a "Functional Medicine Psychiatrist" thinking I'm in that club because I do biomedical testing. "Traditional Psychiatrist" is also a limited, ineffective label for how we practice at CorePsych. My philosophic position: Comprehensive Neuroscience - wherever the science lives, I'll be there. My pet peeve: Clubs encourage institutional thinking.
This Is Helping Me Create...
Suicidal thinking in misdiagnosed folks with transparent diagnosis treated by the uniformed.
This Is Making Me Think - Hard...

My Greatest Achievement
Opening Amen DC and regularly finding folks that preferred to fly out to our shop in DC vs going to Newport Beach. That DC professional group formed a remarkable set of practice standards, and our DC team for years set the standard for the best customer service with brain neuroimaging.
My Biggest Regret
The limitations of time.
I Truly Respect
The neuroscience investigators who teach us from the labs - what's really going on in mind and body.
Moments I'd Like To Forget
Too many presentations to those that don't listen - to angry, defensive and ill informed colleagues awash with group-think and vertical management strategies. Psychiatrists should understand courtesy and decorum, but many don't get basic rules of debate and conversation.
How I Pay For This Wardrobe
Ties and shirts: TJ Max, slacks at Marshalls, off hours only Patagonia - not a prob.
Blocks I've Been Around
Every sub-specialty of psychiatry from psychoopharmacology to brain imaging with world thought leaders who too often find themselves locked into limited perspectives that overlook mind and body complexity. Limited thinking can exist on the most informed levels.
Things That Really Happened
You can't make this stuff up: smart people are getting the message and changing the way they look at brain function.

How to put a Mustang on the Empire State building
Want to drop Ford's drop-top pony car on the 82nd floor? Here's how
Posted: 22 Apr 2014
Never let Top Gear touch anything. Ever
This project came with its own menu of potential disasters. Each part, save for the wheels, tyres, windscreen, and seats, were built for this very singular purpose. Drop one, and it's resolutely not available anywhere else apart from George's brain. Which would be preoccupied with swearing and throwing spanners at your head.
Naturally, we dropped one. As consummate professionals, we ran away and hoped nobody would notice. Sorry, Ford.

St. Louis Couple Gets Married at Burning Man: "A Beautiful Dream" (PHOTOS)
After getting their marriage license in Reno, the two arrived to Burning Man and began biking around the site, scouting out possible locations for the wedding. (There are incidentally many weddings at Burning Man, at least several dozen of which involved couples with formal licenses this year.)
A lot of strangers and new friends helped them throughout the process and preparation.
"It made it a lot more special," she says.
Sarah Cross Jessica and Kristopher Bergen seal their marriage.
When they saw the "Church Trap," it seemed like a perfect fit.
"It's a church that pulls you in," she explains, "and traps you inside."
The structure resembles an old barn setup like some sort of mouse trap with a large wooden pole holding it up, she says. Inside are tiny pews.
On the night of the ceremony, all sorts of strangers joined in the celebration. "You have no idea who they are, but they are giving you hugs and high-fives," she says.
Sarah Cross Just married.
Jessica rode into the ceremony on a chariot bicycle with the help from some of the folks in her camp group (called "Do-More-Now"). There was a small group of close friends and people the couple had met at previous Burning Man festivals also attending the ceremony -- and many more strangers.
"Tons of people were a part of it that we've never met before," she says, estimating at least 100 attendees. "It doesn't give you much of a chance to be nervous or scared -- it's just such a chaotic place."
And they exchanged vows.
Sarah Cross Kristopher dips Jessica in front of their wedding venue, the Church Trap.
"He promised to love me more than spicy food and Jack In the Box tacos," she recalls, "and I promised him an adventure of a lifetime."
"We definitely started that already being at Burning Man," she says.
The two will have another ceremony later this month at City Museum, where Jessica used to work.
Sarah Cross Enjoying their first playa sunset as a married couple.
They are both still decompressing from the whole experience, she says.
In a recent Facebook post reflecting on the experience, Jessica writes: "It is now just a memory...a beautiful dream."

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/14/12
Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged England counterpart Steven Gerrard to quit Liverpool and move to "a big international club". Gerrard is poised to win his 100th cap in Wednesday night's friendly international between the two countries to mark the opening of the Friends Arena in Stockholm. Ibrahimovic is a big admirer of Gerrard but feels he should leave Anfield after more than a decade of loyal service spanning over 600 games. The Paris St Germain striker said: "Steven Gerrard is respected throughout Europe and is always the player the coach says to be careful with because he is the one that makes the difference. "But, although of course Liverpool is a big club, I would like to see Steven at a big international club. "I would like to see that also for England because it is very exciting when someone goes abroad and shows who he is in another competition. "For me, a fantastic player can make the difference in every country wherever he plays. I'm pretty sure Steven wo...
