- " The guy who runs the hostel is very nice and very helpful. The hostel is very plain and is ok if you wanna stay only a night or two. But it's only for staying, you won't get to know people etc. I thought it was quite a pity that there was no breakfast included, especially if you have to be at the Alhambra very early and everything else is still closed. "
- 21 Jun 2015 Anonymous Germany
- " Perfect! Everything was clean and the host was so nice. He was really welcoming, me and my friends felt comfortable during our stay without any problems. The hostel is located just in the center of the city. So, beforehand, he told us it could be noisy because of the location but no one of us felt that. We could sleep very well. He also kindly gave us some information and recommendation to travel. If I go to Granada again, I'll stay this hostel without a doubt. "
- 03 May 2015 Anonymous South Korea
- " Amazing experience. Perfect location, near bars, markets, shops. Room extremely quiet and clean. Internet of excellent quality, bathrooms with hot water, super cold air conditioning. The administrator is highly serviceable, well-intentioned and good mood. We were very well attended and we had help to solve all our issues. Indicate this place to my best friends, FOR SURE! The price is absurdly low, given the good location and facilities. We had a "5 stars" experience. "
- 24 Aug 2014 Rodrigo Brazil
- " The location is really great, it is directly in the city centre. The staff is very friendly, had never before such a friendly and helpful staff in a hostel. The only negative point is that the hostel is above some bars and so it is a little bit noisy, the bars close at midnight. I would definitly book this hostel again. "
- 09 Aug 2014 Patrick Austria
- " This pension is a quiet place good for a night or two, but not if you are looking to meet lots of new people. The walls are very thin and our room was right above the loud bar next door, so it was hard to sleep at night without ear plugs. Nevertheless the hostel is maintained in great condition and offers good value for its price. "

You know what I mean... those little blue boxes you see at various bars and restaurants.
I've been playing since the late 90's when it was called NTN Trivia (they changed the name to Buzztime a couple years ago). Been a Players Plus member (where you can earn points and compete for prizes and stuff) since 2002. I used to go out and play every weekend when I lived in Tampa (my friends & I would take over a whole section of our regular bar).

This can be no more!" sang a quartet to open chapel Friday morning. Curti Book and Fred Kauffman of Mennonite Central Committee East Coast (MCC) visited campus to lead discussion in chapel on how gun violence affects communities in chapel and a open mic in Common Grounds last Monday.
Fred Kauffman gave the chapel audience some astounding statistics. For example, there were 9,146 gun related murders in America in 2009. This is the "law of sin and death," he proclaimed. 31,593 people died from gun violence in America in 2008, and over half of those deaths were from suicide (probably from legal guns).
Illegal guns are used in violence more than legal guns are for obvious reasons. In Philadelphia, alone in 2011, 316 illegal guns were involved in deaths.
Kauffman went on to explain the concept of straw purchasers. These people buy guns and sell them to traffickers who cannot legally buy guns (as they have a history of mental illness or a criminal record), to sell them to others who cannot legally purchase guns.
Gun shops are "rarely" held accountable. There has been talk of a "lost or stolen reporting law," which requires that if the owner of a gun discovers that his or her gun is missing or stolen, he or she must report it to the authorities within three days. If this does not occur and the stolen/missing gun is used in a crime, the gun owner could be held responsible for that crime as well as the criminal.
89 percent of Americans supported this law, but 67 percent of legislators voted against it. Even 74 percent of National Rifle Association (NRA) members support background checks for gun sales, but 40 percent of sales happen without background checks.
As a call to action against gun violence, chapel audience members could fill out mail-in forms asking Congress to "reauthorize the ban on assault weapons and the ban on high-capacity ammunition" and "begin discussion of reforms to stop straw purchases."
Monday night at 8 p.m. a group of about thirty people were closely seated around the stage at Common Grounds, waiting to hear or tell personal stories of gun violence and its effect on them. It was moderated by a Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP) graduate student, Sigal Shoham. MCC's Frank Kauffman reviewed the purpose of the tour before the open mic session began.
Jean Claude Nkundwa, a CJP graduate student, who shared. He grew up in Burundi, Africa, and remembered "crisis" and war breaking out in the early 1990's. Before the war broke out, Nkundwa stated that it was unheard of for civilians to carry guns, but soon the violence reached such a high level that seventh graders took exams with guns under their desks. Nkundwa's friend, who had a disease, shot himself. A rebel group with guns attacked Nkundwa himself. There is still currently a power struggle in Burundi, and he said he does not want this to happen in the United States.
Tyler Yoder, a Junior, shared a personal story about a bipolar friend of his in highschool. One of the days he did not take his medication was also when his relationship with his girlfriend ended. The interactions between his medication and the emotional state he was in caused him to commit suicide.
Curtis from MCC wrapped up the night by stating that MCC has some good information on preventing gun violence as well as good gun use (their website on the subject is www.mcc.org/fearnot).

Where do you get this, and how much does it cost?
Hey Dr. Mac,
I'm as intrigued as Janet. Do you have a link to more info on this? Would love to know more of the specifics, especially what the lesson plans looked like that the college students used. Thanks for sharing!
I currently teach children with special needs and am always looking for something to help my students with both their social and emotional needs. Many of my students suffer from autism and would likely respond to the musically reinforced lessons. Where can I obtain a copy of this CD?

The Petterino family has run this two-story restaurant since 1966. The locale—right on Reforma but away from the main flow of traffic—is totally cosmopolitan. The vibe is rustic northern Italian trattoria. Seating is cramped, but that just makes the place feel especially intimate. All pastas are made on the premises; the Bolognese sauce is a favorite. Raw artichoke salad, eggplant Parmesan, and filete al burro nero (steak in black butter) are all tasty dishes.
Paseo de la Reforma 458, at Toledo, Col. Juárez, Mexico City, 06600, Mexico

Although you might not see it from the out side view, it is actually a very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere and fantastic dishes and what to say about value, you could not buy better any where for the prices in this nice piece off Italia

Top 10 Ways To Annoy Flight Attendants
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Jul 20 2011 1:27PM
Ok, several of these fall into both the "WHO does that?!" and the "Ewwww" categories, like clipping your toenails on the plane.....and changing your baby's diaper on the food tray.....?!?!
According to over 18,000 flight attendants, the Top 10 things fliers do to annoy them are:
•Walking around the aircraft without shoes, especially in the lavatory.
•Changing a diaper in the seat or on the tray table.
•Clipping fingernails and toenails on the aircraft.
•Keeping headphones on when you start talking to attendants.
•Speaking in a condescending and angry tone when it's not appropriate.
•Hanging arms or legs out in the aisle when the food and beverage cart is coming.
•Standing in the galley and restroom areas to stretch and do exercises.
•Keeping electronic devices on after the announcement has been made to turn them off.
•Bringing stinky food on the plane.
•Carrying on a bag you can't lift into the overhead bin.

Defense Outsourcing:
Challenges Facing DOD as It Attempts to Save Billions in Infrastructure Costs
T-NSIAD-97-110: Published: Mar 12, 1997. Publicly Released: Mar 12, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the Department of Defense's (DOD) goal to save billions of dollars by outsourcing work to the private sector and through other initiatives for activities which DOD generally refers to as its support infrastructure, focusing on: (1) DOD's past experience in achieving infrastructure savings; (2) key infrastructure areas that offer the greatest potential for savings; and (3) challenges DOD faces in reaching goals to reduce infrastructure in the future.
GAO noted that: (1) GAO agrees with DOD and others that significant opportunities exist to reduce DOD's infrastructure and support costs; (2) however, GAO questions whether the magnitude of savings anticipated by DOD and others is attainable within the current strategy and force structure; (3) GAO's past and ongoing work shows that while DOD's past savings initiatives yielded significant savings, they often fell short of the initial goal; (4) while DOD has substantially reduced its infrastructure through the base realignment and closure process and significant savings will ultimately be achieved, savings will not be as great as initially estimated or achieved as quickly as initially hoped; (5) today's future years defense plan shows that, despite these initiatives, future infrastructure costs will only slightly decline as a relative percentage of DOD's budget; (6) because of GAO's concern about the waste and inefficiencies in DOD's support structure and operations, GAO has designated DOD's infrastructure as one of 24 high-risk areas that are vulnerable to waste and mismanagement within the federal government; (7) GAO believes that DOD could reap significant savings by: (a) reducing excess capacity in its testing and evaluation areas and its laboratories and centers; (b) reducing excess capacity within DOD's depot maintenance system; (c) reducing the costs of managing its $67-billion inventory, of which almost half is beyond war reserve and operating requirements; (d) reducing installation support costs; and (e) reducing training costs; (8) new ideas about reducing infrastructure costs have recently been proposed to DOD that focus largely on outsourcing and privatization to achieve savings; (9) GAO's analysis of such proposals shows that there is reason for caution about whether the magnitude of hoped for savings can be achieved; (10) there are also various legislative requirements that will restrict and otherwise affect DOD's ability to implement some proposed initiatives; (11) GAO thinks that DOD's effort to reduce costs and achieve savings is extremely important and encourages DOD to move forward as quickly as possible; (12) breaking down cultural resistance to change, overcoming service parochialism, and setting forth a clear framework for a reduced defense initiative are key to effectively implementing savings; and (13) DOD and the services need to give greater structure to their efforts by developing an overall strategic plan, which would provide a basis for the Congress to oversee DOD's plan and allow affected parties to see what is going to happen and when.

Being a female, I can only describe what it was like being in the one-percenter culture, but not the actual club. Members must be men. But make no mistake, women who are the wives or girlfriends of these men still spend a great deal of time around club members doing club stuff.
Strong rule of law nations must urgently address transnational organized crime in the Balkan region's mafia states including Croatia, and, help establish the rule of law and independent judiciary.
Over the past 8 years at least 660 million sharks have been slaughtered. That's enough to fill the entire 103-story Empire State Building with dead shark bodies 18 times, or, one building every 20 days, each year. That means at least 90 percent of sharks globally were poached in all oceans.
Designing a long-term strategy and implementing effective policies to successfully deal with radical Islam on Western soil can no longer be delayed. In the immediate future, strong rule of law nations must deal with enemies within our midst which are facilitating:
Ten year old Piero ( imaginary name) wakes up every morning at six a.m. He washes his hands and face, brushes his teeth, combs his hair, gets dressed and rushes down the stairs.
There is a fundamental difference between the privacy of banking accounts and hiding beneficial ownership in order to commit crimes. The benefits of tracking organized crime, terrorism financing and tax evasion far outweigh the risks to privacy and secrecy of accounts, which is already adequately protected by rule of law nations.
Russia is home to one fifth of the world's wild forests. Infuriatingly, they are cutting them all down.
ISIL leaders have connections in the black market of international finance. The real intelligence needed to understand what is going on in the region is not targets for the U.S. Air Force, but the type of financial intelligence General Petraeus tasked General McMaster to find in Afghanistan in 2010.
The media spotlight has all but moved on from the recently white-hot humanitarian crisis on the Southern U.S. border involving upwards of 60,000 child refugees from Central America. Sadly, the region has faded from the headlines, but the conditions on the ground that force families from their homes persist.
About 1.1 billion people, or 15 percent of the human race, depends upon killing our living planet for their daily livelihood.
In the last three years, crime has decreased across the board in New York. Murder and burglary are down by double digits. At the same time, the state's prison population has declined 4 percent.
If the Obama administration wants to assuage this migrant crisis, it should invest in strengthening and providing these children, and American children, with educational and cultural literacy programs. The U.S. cannot eliminate the violence, crime, and instability that exist in these countries.
Guatemalans paid a terrible price for decades of conflict: 200,000 people dead or forcibly disappeared, the vast majority of them Maya civilians killed by members and allies of the armed forces.
There's a crisis of epic proportion occurring on our planet 24/7, 365: 'The War Against Nature' has become a prolonged looting spree -- plundering terrestrial and oceanic wildlife on a global tear never witnessed before.
I don't know if Broadway musicals play a place like heaven in the end -- if that's their final run. But if they do, I bet my father has orchestra seats. I bet he's hanging out in bookie paradise, a promised land of legalized gambling, perpetual ESPN, and the best Broadway has to offer.

Present Music takes on opera in Ince's 'Judgment of Midas'
Announcing that Present Music is about to do an unusual concert is a bit like announcing that there will be a warming trend over the next few months.
But Present Music's world-premiere performance of Kamran Ince's opera "The Judgment of Midas" is unusual even for an ensemble whose mission is doing the unusual. The group may specialize in new music, but putting up an opera is coloring outside the lines, even for it. »Read Full Article
Trail of Dead rides the edge of intensity at Cactus Club
Chaos, wildness, freedom, anarchy: Rock 'n' roll doesn't really embody these states of being; it only simulates them. Some bands are simply better at verisimilitude than others.
At the Cactus Club on Friday night, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead created an extraordinary 3-D simulation of lighted fuses, anticipatory countdowns and shrapnel-filled explosions. »Read Full Article

Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon delivers her finest performance to date in this extraordinary adaptation of Cheryl Strayed best-selling memoir, about a shattered woman who sets off on a perilous 1100-mile hike in the hopes of piecing her life back together. Directed by Jean-Marc Vallee (The Dallas Buyers Club) and written by Nick Hornby (About a Boy), Wild is at once epic and intimate -- a thrilling Woman-vs-Nature survival story that also vividly illuminates the interior life of its deeply conflicted main character.

Ben Whishaw (BRIGHT STAR) plays a heartbroken young Londoner struggling to make amends with his late boyfriend's mother (Pei-pei Cheng), a Cambodian-Chinese immigrant who speaks no English, and who refuses to acknowledge her son was gay.

"In his memoir Mr. Bauby performed a heroic feat of alchemy, turning horror into wisdom, and Mr. Schnabel, following his example and paying tribute to his accomplishment, has turned pity into joy." A.O. Scott, The New York Times.
"Art lives on the right side….Jean-Michel Basquiat seems to have spent most of his brief life on the right side of the brain. Only another artist could understand that, and Basquiat is the confident, poetic filmmaking debut of the painter Julian Schnabel." Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun Times.

Afternoon everybody! I finally have some shots of the California Home + Design Big Style, Small Spaces Showcase house we recently completed. All of the designers were asked to create spaces for the same imaginary clients, a costume designer for stage and film and a precussionist for a rock band. My space was the oddly shaped mezzanine and I decided to break it into two sub-spaces – an office/creative lab for her and a cozy jam room for him. Enjoy and check out a list the kind sponsors after the pictures!

Did you date much as a teenager?
Asked at Asked at Five Guys Burgers and Fries, 2040 W. 31st St. on January 26, 2009
"I haven't dated anybody yet. I'm only 14."
"I tried like hell but never had much success."
"No. I had one boyfriend from freshman year all the way to the end of junior year."
"No, not really. I had one girlfriend … sophomore through my senior year."
jonas_opines 6 years, 5 months ago
Generally I've found my significant other through friends. I've never tried the first date blind date etc scene, and from the opinions of those who have, I don't regret it, either. Oh, and I was the quiet wierd guy in high-school, probably because I hated it there, so no.
Christine Pennewell Davis 6 years, 5 months ago
not really just kinda went out with groups of friends never wanted to just hang with one peron that much. of course my graduating class was only 33 so you kinda knew everyone to well.
mom_of_three 6 years, 5 months ago
no, not really. Depends on who you compare it to. Remember watching reruns of "The Brady Bunch" and Marcia had like a couple of dates a week, each time with a new guy. Didn't know if that was real or not, but not in my life. I moved a few times in my freshmen - junior year and that made it kind of hard. But I had a boyfriend my entire senior year.
grammaddy 6 years, 5 months ago
I remember "going steady" in 6th grade, although the only place we went to was lunch and recess. It sure seemed more important then than it does now.
trinity 6 years, 5 months ago
much to my mama's chagrin, yes. if you can call what went on between myself and much older guys "dating". don't be readin' this, hawklet! ;) hey it was the early/mid 70's ok???
Tony Kisner 6 years, 5 months ago
Abbi - you stick to your plan, no need to date until around 27.
zettapixel 6 years, 5 months ago
I was in the only rock band in my particular zip code, so yes... I "dated" a lot. ;)
Deja Coffin 6 years, 5 months ago
I dated a lot....surprised I didn't get some kind of reputation. I guess that's because I never dated a guy from my own town and just dated guys from other towns. Maybe my reputation wasn't so good in neighboring towns. :-) For me it was a game, I wanted to date as many guys as possible. I only wish now I would have dated for quality and not quantity. I would have loved to have had a high school sweetheart that I dated for 3 years instead of 3 months. Then again, maybe that's why I'm happily married....I sowed my wild oats early on.
trinity 6 years, 5 months ago
you md obviously are a better "picker" than i; now that i'm looking hard at the big 5-0, i can see how right mama was! her favorite word for 'em was "bums". :) but hey, i always chose ones with really cool cars! :) and musicians...have always had a musician kinda thing...and no i don't know zetta-i don't think!
jonas_opines 6 years, 5 months ago
Yep, Right-thinker, it was the truth. Perhaps because a lot of high-school kids, in general, are terrified of deviation and free thought, often self-delusional, and constantly looking for a scapegoat. . . . . should I say it? . . . . . . yeah why not?Much like wingnuts.
hawklet21 6 years, 5 months ago
much to my mama's chagrin, yes. But she wasn't too worried after that fall musical!!
trinity 6 years, 5 months ago
LOL hawklet! now that made me laugh real out loud&nearly choke on my carrot! :)
trinity 6 years, 5 months ago
omg, now i don't know what was funnier; the "look at this Richard, just look at it", the "yellow shafts of sponge" line, or the "crime scene cookies"! that was a great letter, loved it!
Calliope877 6 years, 5 months ago
I dated a little bit during my junior and senior year of HS, but that's about it. I don't understand people who are still dating someone from junior high or highschool...it seems to me those relationships would get stagnant after a while, but I guess it works for some people. All the more power to them.
jonas_opines 6 years, 5 months ago
Sorry, Right-thinker, but I've rarely had the energy or the inclination to hate. It takes way too much energy.
Deja Coffin 6 years, 5 months ago
Thanks MD, that was great!
flux 6 years, 5 months ago
Stop drinking at lunch Multidisciplinary.
hawklet21 6 years, 5 months ago
I wonder the same thing, Calliope. I think back to the guys I was absolutely over the moon for my senior year, and now? Married and married. Thank goodness those prospects didn't pan out for me!
tangential_reasoners_anonymous 6 years, 5 months ago
"Did you date much as a teenager?"Oh, yes... MUCH older women... carbon dating.( nod to none2 )
BaxterC 6 years, 5 months ago
Way to go Lawrence, we're all a bunch of loners!
Omegatron 6 years, 5 months ago
I hung out with girls, did stuff that most consider dating. Movies, restaurants, arcade, hanging by the lake, parties, etc..But the girl I wanted to date... naw, never got the time of day...

A bad book is as much of a labour to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
For a long time I've looked for different ways in which to convey my outlook on the world, especially in respect to topics related to power, discrimination and religion, and our different stances toward such topics.
As an onlooker I always used my life experience and knowledge, in all fields in which I found myself involved, to analyze behaviour in the face of the different circumstances human actors were called upon to encounter.
It was from this initial viewpoint, of what I call reality, that I put it upon myself to sketch, phrase and paraphrase, my own thoughts and feelings. These thoughts had strong resonance in some of my most beloved persons, and it was they who urged me to convey them to paper.
I must admit that though I never consciously found the opportunity to do this, the images that started to shape this work began, on a particular day, to flow like on a movie screen before me. Also certain changes came about in my everyday life which allowed me the time to get down to writing it.
Although this book does not aspire to great literary value, or the scientific rigor with which an anthropological, psychological or sociological study could fathom the way in which Men carry out their lives and govern their actions, it is aimed to reflect not so much on our doings, as on our frequent lack of commitment to life and liberty.
I, being a part of human kind, live and have lived submerged in a reality moulded by strife of all sorts. Human nature has given us sufficient ingenuity to be able to shun our responsibilities by not assuming them, and by avoiding the realization that the cause of our own suffering has often been brought about by our own silence. This is why it has been very difficult to find the real culprits of the greatest crimes committed against our race; and this was because they were really lying within our own hearts.
We probably ought to have listened to Friedrich Nietzsche more carefully, and not only criticized, rightfully or otherwise, when he said: "It is not force, but perseverance of the highest ideals, which makes men nobler".
This allegory is summoned not only to represent my ideas, but rather, aimed at provoking reflection, awaking individual and collective awareness, so that the day will arrive when we shall be able to say, once and for all: "Enough!", and draw an imaginary line to symbolize that we won't take any further abuse any longer.
The German philosopher Immanuel Kant used to enounce that: "We are all alike before moral duty"; it is this duty which compels us to speak out against any thing that in any way smears our fellow men, for even though we refuse to accept it, our behaviour towards them will always reflect on our own soul.
The character in "The Site" says "You can allow yourself many things in life, but never indifference towards the pain and tragedy of others!"
I sincerely hope you will enjoy reading this book, dedicated to those I love and don't want, as much as I have enjoyed in its writing.

A lingering cold
Forecast calls for freezing temperatures into the weekend
Published: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 4, 2010 at 10:02 p.m.
Want warmer weather? Keep heading south, maybe to the Caribbean.
Temperatures bottomed out in the 20s in North Florida early Monday with Gainesville hitting a low of 26 degrees and Ocala 27 degrees.
Residents and snowbirds who were hoping to escape the frozen North should expect more of the same over the next several days. A second arctic air mass is expected to move into the state later in the week after a slight warm-up with highs in the 50s and lows still at or near freezing Thursday, according to forecasts.
That air mass should keep things cold at least through the weekend, with lows in the area predicted in the low 20s.
Parts of south Georgia could see snow flurries later this week when a storm system pushes south Thursday, forecasts predicted. The same hazardous weather advisory mentioning flurries covers North Florida, although current forecasts say snow isn't likely here.
Even South Florida might not be far enough south for some seeking warmth in the Sunshine State. Miami and the Keys have projected high temperatures no greater than the 60s this week.
The jet stream has dipped to the south this year, allowing freezing air from Canada to push farther south than normal, meteorologist Eric Zappe with the National Weather Service in Jacksonville said Monday.
The area's recent cold lows still haven't broken records so far, although the readings are at least 20 degrees below normal. And it's not just recent temperatures that are out of the ordinary. It was 1960 when Gainesville last experienced nine consecutive days with temperatures of 32 degrees or less, according to the weather service.
With more than a week of freezing weather forecast, that record could be in jeopardy. This morning would be the fourth consecutive day of freezing temperatures.
Since the weekend in Gainesville, businesses have been fielding questions that have little to do with Florida's typical southern climate.
Customers have been calling about getting their pipes insulated to prevent them from freezing, said Bob Kavanaugh, owner of B&H Plumbing in Gainesville. An employee with ASAP Plumbing said complaints about frozen pipes already have started. Those calls haven't begun at Quality Plumbing of Gainesville, but an employee there said it's still early in the week and that the coldest lows are on the way.
The coldest night expected so far in Gainesville and Ocala will be tonight, with lows expected at 20 to 23 degrees.
Garden Gate Nursery in Gainesville ran out of freeze cloth over the weekend as residents headed in to protect their plants. The store was scheduled to have more today, manager Judy Brown said. Other cover that can be used, besides a regular cloth or plastic, are layers of hay or pine needles that can insulate small plants that are lower to the ground.
Tropical plants already should be indoors if possible, she said. Recent rain helped protect plants, but now residents need to remember to water plants around midday when it's warmer to prevent more damage from dry soil.
People have been turning up the heat at home to stay warm, Gainesville Regional Utilities reported. The peak usage Monday morning was 398 megawatts. Typical use on a winter day is 270 to 280, GRU spokeswoman Kim Jamerson said. The all-time winter peak occurred last year on Feb. 6 when usage hit 445 megawatts.
Over the weekend, one woman in her 60s was taken to an area hospital for treatment after she woke up shaking because her electric blanket had stopped working, said Carol Davis, spokeswoman for Alachua County and Gainesville Fire Rescue.
So far, the call is the only health-related report related to the cold.
But medical and health personnel are warning people to be careful over the next few days.
Dr. Kevin Ferguson, associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Florida, said people should dress in layers of clothes to provide better insulation. Use hats and scarves to keep warmer longer, as well as gloves since fingers can radiate heat quickly. Ferguson, who works in the emergency department at Shands, also said warm fluids such as hot chocolate, not alcohol, are better to keep someone warm. Alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate, in which heat is lost faster.
Hypothermia can occur even at cool temperatures above 40 degrees, said Paul Myers with the Alachua County Health Department. Among those most susceptible are the elderly, babies and the homeless. Signs of hypothermia include shivering, exhaustion, memory loss and drowsiness.
An infant's skin will become bright red and cold.
The Cold Night Shelter Program already is in place in Alachua County for homeless people. It allows the St. Francis House to house more people than its normal capacity during cold spells and provides vouchers in some cases for stays at an area hotel. The program is funded by the city and county and operated by the Alachua County Housing Authority, the St. Francis House and the Gainesville/Alachua County Office on Homeless, said that office's executive director, Jayne Moraski.
It likely will stay busy this week.

Despite the rivalry of the imperial harem, which has plotted against her from the beginning, Mehrunnisa soon becomes the most powerful woman in the Mughal Empire. She rules from behind the veil, securing her status by forming a junta of sorts with her father, brother, and stepson and by risking all, even her daughter, to get what she wants. But she never loses the love of the man who has bestowed this power upon her.
©2003 Indu Sundaresan; (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"Weaving another rich historical tapestry...Sundaresan colors the life of a fascinating woman whose female wiles inspired the Taj Mahal." (Booklist)
"The novel's scope and ambition are impressive, as are the numerous period details....Readers who enjoyed the first volume will find similar pleasures tracking the fate of one of history's most intriguing women." (Publishers Weekly)
"Sundaresan's love of storytelling is apparent in this well-researched historical romance. She makes sure that the reader stays enthralled from chapter to chapter and, with this sequel, will surely do the same in creating anticipation for her next book." (Library Journal)
So many books to read...so little time. Why not listen to them instead?!
"Very informative..alluring..I can't stop my audio!"
Roller coaster ride! Alluring! Romantic!
The independence was very inspiring.
The audio added to my imagination. Reading the book would have been interesting but listening to the audio being read with character, feeling and excitement.
This was an audiobook that I could not stop but had to since I have life.
"really good"
I loved this book. Couldn't wait to get the sequel "the twentieth wife"! Wonderful reading
"Great Historical Fiction"
I thouroughly enjoyed this exotic book set in the royal court in India.
"Great Listen... Good Story!"
I hated the ending to come and wished the characters could live on. This is a great squeal to the 20th Wife. I hope Indu Sundaresan will write another historical love story. This would be great if made into a movie. Love it!
"Historical facts should not be mixed with fictions"
Not if it is a fictionalized story based on facts because it creats confusion about what is true and what is not. I listened to this book with great interest and enjoyed it very much as I felt that I was learning a lot about the historical figures of India about whom I read in my high school. It is my fault because I did not realize until the end that it was a fiction.
It was a big let down. Every day after I came home driving from work, I would tell my wife and the kids about what I learned about Nur Jahan, Sha Jahan, Jahangir and so on. So, I am now embarassed to admit to them most of what I told them may not be true. It actually made me very upset.

Victor Cruz has stepped up his game in major ways on and off the field. On the field he may be known as Eli Manning's go-to receiver with the flashy cha-cha end zone dance, however off the field he is showing a dapper, more stylish side. This polish new look for Cruz has landed the New York Giants wide-receiver a spread in Dujour Magazine April's issue. While looking like a clean crisped dollar bill, Cruz opens up about his interest in fashion, family, and his humble beings. On his humble beings:"I had been through so much. I was kicked out twice for poor grades, and even before that I had to go to prep school in Maine for a semester just to get in. I was constantly being told that I wasn't going to make it, that it was a long shot for me to even play football. So for me to fight, to battle through all of that and get a college degree, that was the biggest thing," he says. "That's all I wanted—for my mom to put my degree up on her wall in a frame. Everything else after that was just a bonus." On negotiation with the Giants:"When it's over, I might just go to the nearest mountaintop and scream my face off. I can't go anywhere without being asked about it—reporters, fans, Twitter, Instagram. That's all I hear all the time." On the influence of fashion on sports:"I think the players are paying attention to that, and it's cool to see. It was only a matter of time before the two worlds met… I don't know about anybody else, but I like dressing up and wearing suits." On his style his style when growing up in Paterson, NJ:"We wore throwback jerseys all the time with oversized hats, North Face coats and Nike Air Force Ones. The Nikes were big for us, because it defined what kind of person you were, how cool you were. When I was younger, I couldn't afford all those sneakers. My mother was like 'I'm not paying $150 for Jordans. It's not happening!" Cruz may be control with his style, but now it's time to see how well he's in control in New York pertaining to his contract with the Giants. You can read the full article here.
