Hi Artash. It seems that Bosendorfer did win a medal at the 1862 London Exhibition for 'General Excellence of Pianos'. Whether or not this was for a specific piano or not I'm unsure. It is probably a good idea to try to find a catalogue of the exhibition in a library and consult this. Musical instruments are listed in Section II, Class 16 as detailed at http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/wiki/1862_London_Exhibition:_Catalogue

I have just bought a cedar antique dining table made in Sydney by Jones and Son Camperdown with a label that in one corner has the emblem for 1862 Londini honoris causa.
I would like to know what this means and would appreciate any enlightenment that you might give me
Thank you and looking forward to your reply
Kind regards

Hi Liz - 'Honoris causa' means 'for the sake of honour'. It is typically applied to an honorary degree conferred by a university. The phrase was also used on the medals for the 1862 London international exhibition, as 'Londini honoris causa'. In this instance it seems to have been used simply to mean the recipient was being honoured for their achievement in their exhibition entry.

Hi. Sorry for my english. I have Bosendorfer piano which have 3 "stamp" "MEDALLE 1862 LONDINI HONORIS" and "GENERAL EX CELLEXCELLENCE". I would to know how to sell this piano and which is price? Thanks
Discovery Centre Posted on 23 Jun 2010 3:03 PM
Hi Strahinja, as indicated above Museum Victoria can't give valuations nor can we advise on selling items. You should contact an antique dealer or piano seller in your country that deals with such items.
Gloria Chase Posted on 14 Mar 2011 11:08 AM
I also have a piano with the 1862 medal of excellence on it but it is a Primrose Model. This was the closest thing on the net to the description. Just thought I would mention it and will continue searching for the history.

I have some Russian silver marked with Honoris Causa Londini 1862...does this mean that the silversmith received some kind of recognition?

We hope you'll visit it often to catch up on the latest news, volunteer for community projects, and become more involved in keeping our neighborhood a great place to live. Check the rest of the Home page for headlines included on the website. In other words, keep on reading!

***It's Not Too Late on the Events & Activities***
The newly elected Board Members (see page 2 for details) have already started planning for 2011! To develop a plan for moving forward, they looked at what was done in 2010: the successes to repeat, things to improve, and new projects to bring our neighbors together.
Things that will continue:
Things to improve:
Things to add:
We think 2011 is going to be a great year for Bel-Aire Pines, and we'll be sharing all the details as we move ahead!
We're not sure who did it, but it looks really nice! Thanks to the kind person who added the large bows to our entrance decorations—we appreciate the help!
Though the HOA Board & Members-At-Large have accomplished quite a bit, they desperately need your help to continue the great work. There are lots of reasons people don't participate more: you might be worried that you don't have the time, or that they'll ask you to do too much, or perhaps you don't know exactly how you can help.
During the upcoming year, the HOA will be looking for some individuals to work on specific projects & events. The more people that help makes a little less work for everyone, with the same good results. Perhaps you enjoy the Community Yard Sale and could help out with the organizing—you don't have to do everything yourself—just be the point person and leader. There are checklists and resources available to use, and you can tap any Board Member for insight and/or help.
Truly, it takes more than the efforts of 5-7 people to make Bel-Aire Pines a terrific neighborhood. So come on, send us an email or give us a call and ask "How can I help?" Thank you!
How does $50 in free groceries sound? Or maybe you would like $25 to spend on home repairs? If either of those choices appeal to you, it's easy to enter.
1. Pay your annual $40 homeowner's dues by 12/4 and be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to Publix
2. Have some fun decorating your home for the holidays, and win the "Best Holiday Decorations" gift certificate to Home Depot.
First chance to win: It's simple to do your part in keeping Bel-Aire Pines a neighborhood where you're proud to live. Attached to this newsletter is an addressed envelope. You can just put your check inside and pop it in the mail (postage not included.) Or save the stamp, and come visit us near the entrance on December 4th. There will be representatives there to collect your payment. We appreciate the support and really need the funds to continue the great work that's been going on for the last couple of years.
Second chance to win: Many of you do a wonderful job of decorating for the winter holidays, and this year, we're going to award a gift certificate to the resident who does the best job. As long as you have paid your annual dues, you're automatically eligible! The type, size, or theme doesn't really matter—just express yourself!
It's easy to enter...will you be our next winner?

The Bel-Aire Pines Homeowners Association Board does its very best to work on your behalf, but sometimes we can't (and we shouldn't) make all the decisions. After all, it's your home, it's your neighborhood, it's your Homeowners Association, and you should have the final say on the things that impact your community. We're going to use this newsletter to outline some very important activities and decisions that will be taking place over the next few weeks. We want to provide as much information as possible about what you can do to ensure that those decisions benefit you: the residents who call Bel-Aire Pines home.
Please take some time to read through the all the new content for this month to see all the details. There's a lot to keep track of, so here's a list of important events and days for the rest of year.
· Due date for returning ballots
· Due date for return of Annual Dues to be eligible for prize drawing
· Business Mini-Expo
Be Careful...Watch Out!
Think 20! Keep It Up
You probably noticed the Think 20 signs disappeared for a little while, and then reappeared in late August. Even though the Think 20 campaign has had a great result, we wanted to remind everyone that school has started, so please be careful when driving through the neighborhood.
To further reinforce this thought, we will be installing a portable speed monitor, and moving it to different streets throughout the month. The monitor is offered to Orange County communities free of charge through the Traffic & Safety Department of Orange County. The first one we were given didn't work properly, so we've requested a replacement and should have it soon.
So, when you see the numbers blinking, please take a second to slow down. Thank you!
Kitty Cat Caution
To all cat lovers and owners: make sure your cute feline friends are properly licensed with tags, and are safely in your house. While it's great that we live in an area that can be shared with some wildlife (don't you love to hear the birds chirping first thing in the morning?) it also leads to some unwanted neighborhood inhabitants. Recently, we've had several incidents that point out the problems of feral (undomesticated) cats living with us. Unfortunately, these cats are typically the offspring of abandoned cats, and represent a failure by owners to take responsibility for their pets. While the impacts of feral cats are debatable, it is true that their population is growing. In addition to the sad sight of dead kittens who could not be cared for by their feral mothers, there could be an increase in fleas around the areas where they live, and strong unpleasant odors from the male cats marking their territory.
Orange County Animal Control will be in the neighborhood regularly to capture cats that are running loose. Save yourself some time and distress by calling 407-836-3111 to find out what you can do to keep to make sure Animal Control only picks up stray and wild cats, and doesn't take your family pet.
Biking and walking on neighborhood streets, working in your yard, closing the garage door, talking with your neighbors, turning lights on, and keeping toys inside. What do these things have in common? Talk to your block captain to find out!
Desire, Ability, and Opportunity: these are the critical components of the criminal element. We can't control the desire or ability of a criminal, but we can control the opportunity. Here are some prevention tips that Deputy Negron shared with us:
Have you noticed the tall grass and weeds in the yards of vacant homes? No, you probably haven't, and there's a good reason for that! A resident, George Mattison, has been cutting the lawns of those homes that are unoccupied. He does this on his own time, with his own mower, and his own gas...just to keep the neighborhood looking nice.
Thank you George for your time and dedication in keeping Bel-Aire Pines lawns mowed and trimmed. We appreciate your efforts, and wish there were moreresidents just like you!
It's the perfect time to start cooling off in your pool, going to pool parties, or spending the weekend at the beach. While you're enjoying your family time, don't forget these basic tips to keep safe:
**Everyone is anxious to get out and enjoy the warm weather, and this seems to include our pets! We've noticed more dogs and cats roaming free during the day. We want to keep our pets safe and ensure their health, so now seems to be a good time to remind you of some Orange County ordinances regarding animals.
**If you'd like to take advantage of the Tree Adoption Program but don't have the ability to transport a tree, let us know and we'll make arrangements to help you. Planting a tree is good for the environment, and will provide much needed shade for years to come.
**Spring brings warmer weather, greener grass, and...pollen! Are allergies bothering you? Use these tips to minimize your symptoms:
Here is some information from Orange County Neighborhood Services that you'll be able to use!
*By now, you've moved your clocks ahead. Did you remember to also change the batteries in your smoke and carbon detectors?
*Cash for Clunkers: During the week of April 16th - 25th, Florida is offering rebates up to 20% of the cost for Energy Star appliances. In addition, you may receive an extra $75 if you show you recycled the appliance. These rebates are for personal purchases, not commercial, and cover the following: refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, room air conditioners and gas tank-less hot water heaters.
*Household Hazardous Waste & Electronic Waste Collection Event: Removed hazardous and electronic waste from your home free of charge! The next collection event will take place on April 17th 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Valencia Community College West Campus: 1800 South Kirkman Road, Orlando.

Map to the British Museum, £2.00
Height: 491.000 mm
Width: 311.000 mm
Bequeathed by the Revd George Salting
Prints and Drawings
Thomas Gainsborough, Portrait of a Lady, a chalk study
England, about AD 1785-88
This figure study is one of a group which may have been made for a painting, The Richmond Water-walk that Gainsborough had planned as a companion to his large painting of fashionable ladies promenading in The Mall (1783, Frick Collection, New York), which may have been commissioned by George III (reigned 1760-1820). Although several surviving studies of around 1785 indicate the vast scale of the project, the final painting on canvas was never begun.
He has drawn the
woman in black chalk and stump on a light brown paper. Her dress
has a sheen, the play of light boldly highlighted in white
According to an inscription formerly on the back of the frame, Gainsborough 'was much struck with what he called the "fascinating leer" of the Lady who is the subject of the drawing.' As several contemporary critics noted, it is close in treatment to the paintings of the French artist, Jean-Antoine Watteau. This is particularly evident in the drawing's delicacy and the lady's coy look which recall Watteau's gentle paintings on the theme of love.

KERSEY – The Rural Higher Education Summit held Thursday at the Red Fern, thought to be the first in the region, brought together regional education providers, educators representing area school districts and state officials to discuss what is happening in rural education and the future needs of rural students.

Traders have focused on exports, transportation issues, South American weather, and politics as reasons for the decline in grain market prices.
Farmers, this is a grain market that wants your corn now, and will pay less for it in the future, unless the structure of the market changes.
Friday's USDA report did not have a lot of news, but what it had caught the market leaning the wrong way. The result, eventually, was a changed landscape for the market the last few days. Soybeans USDA released the Supply and Demand Report Friday morning, and the result was a resounding "thud" in the soybean […]
With no news comes fickle markets subject to the whims of Chicago traders. Now is the time to forget the highs and remember the crops in eastern Ohio are better than expected, and the prices are still much higher than planned for at planting time.
In northeastern Ohio and western Pa., rain every third day slowed the soybean harvest so that many were still cutting beans at the end of October. Only the biggest and best-equipped got any significant corn off in October between the rains.
"My fear at this point would be that farmers would regret missing the high prices and wait for them to return."
Long weekends make traders nervous. Anything can happen. Three days is too long to hold a position for some, so they buy back or sell back Friday, depending upon their position. Then, Tuesday, they get back in. Consequently, it is common to sell off a bullish market Friday, then buy it again Monday. The sell-off […]
The drought weather market of 2012 has continued, with emphasis shifting back to soybeans once again.
Grain price direction from here is not clear, but one thing we know. In short crop years, we make the high before harvest, then go lower. Grain merchandiser Marlin Clark explains more.
Maybe you can't hear clearly, but if you shut off all machinery and stop the conversations within a few feet, it is possible. It is the sound of the fat lady singing. It sure feels tonight like the big rally of 2012 that left us thunderstruck with record corn and soybean prices is over. We […]

Steps in setting up Cyber café -BSNL broadband
Steps in setting up Cyber café
Internet cafes act as entrance point to the communication highway called the internet. Customers vary from students who need assistance for their research activities to professionals who travel and need access to the internet, and anyone else wishing to explore the internet.
Outlined below are 10 steps and process of setting up you own internet café.
Step #1 Create a business plan
The very first thing you should do when setting up internet café is to create a business plan. A business plan is an essential part of the process in any business. If you want to raise capital, no investor or financial company will support you without a business plan. Moreso a good business plan will assist you to clarify your thinking and alert you to challenges that lie ahead.
Step #2 Choose a Location
The location where you internet café is situated really matter a lot. Choosing a good location can lead directly to a successful business, while a bad location can also lead directly to failure of the business. Note that locations near schools or colleges is a good tip because students are always busy on the internet.
Also heavy traffic and accessible locations with parking space is a good avenue for an internet café business.
Step #3 Create an Environment
Next step in setting up your internet café is deciding on what kind of internet environment you want to create. Do you want to create a hip hangout, a relaxed comfortable settings or a fast paced environment? Take note of some important things you should consider; designs/decorations and additional services you want to offer.
Step #4 Buy Equipment
Computer systems(should high end and fast systems)
Internet Access(should be high-speed broadband)
Networks connectivity devices(cable, switch, router, printer, scanner etc)
Step #5 Set up a Network
You will need the service of a technician , a cisco certified networker should always handle such task for your local area connection setup and internet connection.
Step #6 Purchase an Internet Management system
After you have networks your system and up running , you then purchase an internet management system i.e the timer software.
Step #7 Determine Your Charge Rate
Be strict and friendly in this area and also depending on your total cost and the outfit of your internet café . Things you should keep in mind when creating a price structure. Internet access is becoming a lot more affordable and more people have internet access at their homes.
Also compare your prices to your competitors. You do not have to copy your competitors pricing structure exactly but use it as a reference guide.
Step #8 Promote your Internet Café
Marketing and promotional strategy always help a lot attracting customers like giving bonus, advertising, distribute hand bills.
Step #9 Stay updated
When you own and operate internet café, you should always stay updated with new technology like installing the latest application software on your systems.
Step #10 Retain Customer
Once you have the internet café open for business, you will need to adopt a strategy to retain you customers as well as attract new ones. A good suggestion is for you to give discount to your customer as well as create a loyalty system plan and employ a good public relation.

well laid out.

Another important thing: Install 4-5 browsers on each PC and let the customer have the choice of selecting his/her favorite browser.
The other day I went to a cyber cafe as my Home broadband was down. I sat in front of a PC which was quite up to date but it had only one browser - IE. This sucks. I told the owner of the cyber cafe but he didn't let me download and install Firefox (My favorite browser). I went to another cyber cafe and there firefox was installed on each and every PC.
I don't understand why these cyber cafe owners are in love with IE.
But still, thanks for the nice post.

Hair Removal with Tala Ant Egg Oil - Review
|Posted by Bonnie Lee Warner on April 28, 2012 at 5:20 PM
Tala Ant Egg Oil is an oil that apparently has been used in the Middle East for permanent hair removal for hundreds of years. It is 100% natural and painless enough that it has been used on babies and young children (resulting in no hair when the become adults). **[Should not be used if you are pregnant]**
I have been on the search for a permanent way to remove hair from my face and body for years. I started waxing when I was in my early teens after my mother found out I shaved my legs, underarms and bikini when goaded by a friend.
Like all women, I hate having hair on my bits and pieces so I have tried many things and ways to remove it. I have shaved, waxed, sugared, epilated, used depilatory cream, tweezed and so on and so forth.... I even paid a fortune for Laser hair removal on my face which yielded NO results what-so-ever due to the fact that I have fair hair which Laser doesn't work on.....
For the past 6-8 months I have been using a Viss Beauty IPL machine which cost me a pretty penny. I did have some good results with the Viss (mainly because I incorporated Carbon Dye when using it) but me being me I couldn't help looking for anything that would give me better results.
Anyway, 6-7 weeks ago I received my order of Tala Ant Egg Oil that I bought on eBay. I figured, 'what the hell' and 'it is worth a try'.
As of today, 28th April 2012, I have done two rounds of treatment (leaving 3ish weeks between each wax). I used it on my underarms and my bikini area (the entire area of the ol' VJJ ).
You use Tala Ant Egg Oil by first removing the hair from the root and making sure the area is clean, dry and free of other oils/products. You have to remove the hair either by waxing, tweezing or epilating. You can NOT shave. You then apply a few drops of the Ant Egg Oil on the area and massage the Oil in for about 10 minutes. You apply the Ant Egg Oil for 5 days and each of these days you make sure the area is clean and dry and then massage the oil in for about 10 minutes. It is very easy to use. Just make sure you don't use it when shaving otherwise it won't work.
In the 2 rounds of treatment over a period of 6 weeks, I have noticed a reduction of more than 70% of hair growing back. The hair is lighter, thinner and much more sparse then when I started. There are a lot of areas where the hair hasn't grown back at all. Boy am I surprised by the results so far, I hoped and prayed that it would work but I never thought it would work this well after 2 rounds. I really wish I took before and after photos.
Please bear in mind that I used the brand Tala (which I am selling on this site) and that not all brands are equal.
I will be doing my third round of treatments in a few days. I will update this blog to let you know about further results. I will see if I can get any decent photos of the hair growth ***see photo in Gallery*** - this will be hard as the hair is so light now.
***UPDATE*** due to the fact that I can't upload photos in my blog as of yet, Any photos referred to will be uploaded in the on the Gallery page ***
Over and out for now... xx Bon

A fantastic product, definitely worth a try
Last year we sold just under 1m bottles worldwide so shocked you haven't heard of it before.
All feedback on our product has been very positive to date.
Eden: how are you going with the Tala? Have you noticed much of a change?
Sumaiya: Sorry, for some reason I didn't get notified about your comment :(. I don't know anything about Thanaka Powder or Kusuma oil. I will do some research and see if I can buy some to try. Keep an eye out here for a blog once I have had a chance to give it a go.
Prerna: Keep me posted on your progress using Tala. Definitely take some before, during and after photos.
xx Bonnie
After the 5-6 rounds, your growth has really changed?
I hope this stuff really works cuz I start losing hope
Thank you!!!
I had never heard of Olmezoil until you commented here. After doing a google search, practically nothing comes up. The only Olmezoil I found for sale was on the uk website and one auction on eBay. The price of one bottle would cost more than what I pay for 5 bottles of Tala. I wasn't able to find any articles, reviews or testimonials about this product.
Obviously, I am not the type of person to comment or review a product I have never tried so I can't agree or disagree with your comment that it is better than Tala but I can disagree with you saying Tala is fake and wasting time and money.
Sure some sellers might sell fake Tala but you get that with almost every product these days. Genuine Tala might not work for everyone, especially if you do not follow the directions as instructed but that is not the fault of the product. I have used Tala and whilst it might not be as quick or permanent as some sellers state, it does in fact work towards retarding the hair growth... I am proof of this.
I am always willing to try and learn more about a product or service that works. So, if you are a seller and want me to try Olmezoil and honestly review and compare it to Tala, you are welcome to send me a bottle. If you have links to testimonials or reviews, I would love to check them out as well as before and after photos.
after i try olmezoil it work very well uk seller
jayanand says...
Hi, i am men I want permanent facial hair remove and body also . important is facial hair , this product can I use face also its any side effects . ( permanent hair remove without any marks with soft skin.)
Hi Jayanand,
As I have stated many times, Tala can help with permanent hair removal but it requires devotion and regular use. It also requires you remove the hair by the root. That means waxing, tweezing or epilating. If you shave, you probably won't get a very good result.
I have used Tala on my face without any issue but I can't guarantee that you won't have any reaction because everyone is different.
Good luck,
Please note that the directions of Tala state you should remove the hair by the root. That means to remove the hair by waxing, tweezing or epilating NOT by shaving (which is technically what the tool you bought does - cuts the hair off at the skin layer).
x Bonnie
what is i trim my face with this and apply the oil.
Cass says...
Hey! I want to buy this, but at the same time I am worried if it will work or not.
Hi Cass,
I figure that the only way you will know is if you try it.
However, as I have said time and time again, you must be willing to invest time in the application of Tala and follow the application instructions otherwise it will be a waste of time. Tala works best over time as the results accumulate the more you use it.
All I can give you is my opinion but I have never regretted trying Tala.
Good luck and keep me posted if you do chose to try Tala.
x Bon
Honestly, I still have hair on my pubic and underarm region but the hair is much lighter, finer and much more sparse. I have a lot of bald patches. The thing with Tala is that it is a product that needs a long term commitment. Over the year or so that I have been using it, I haven't used it every time I waxed because like most people, I forget or get complacent and just say 'i'll do it next time'.
I am unsure why you need to use it 5 days in a row but that was the directions said: Remove hair by follicle (wax, tweeze or epilate) and then you massage in a few drops to the area for 10 minutes each day (letting it absorb) and you do that for 5 days in a row. I must admit that I noticed a difference within the first month or so of use which spurred me on to keep trying it.
I have mentioned in my blog an experiment I have been doing with one of my clients using Tala Ant Egg Oil on one underarm and the Viss IPL Machine http://vissbeauty.com/ (which is a home laser hair removal machine) on the other underarm for about 10 months. I do have some results: in the beginning it was fairly neck and neck for the permanent results but now after 10 months the side that we used the Viss IPL machine has much less hair.
The side we used Tala on has had some benefit too but the underarm we used Viss on has been reduced by about half the amount of hair. I will be taking a photo to show the comparison the next time I see my client. Tala DOES work but it takes time and commitment ... you will notice a difference after a few rounds but it isn't an overnight result. The longer you use it for (as well as following the directions and not giving up), you will definitely see a difference in the hair retardation and regrowth, thickness of the hair, colour/darkness of the hair.
Viss is much more expensive than Tala and I do use my Viss machine with Carbon Dye (which is a blue dye that absorbs more of the laser). Perhaps I should do a Viss review also.
I hope this helps and to everyone out there, please feel free to ask any questions or if you have something/a product you want reviewed or to find out more about, ask away and I might have already used it and have an opinion on it. I try all sorts of weird and wonderful things to see if they work :).
xx Bonnie
I have been using euroonsale's Tala for ages and it is the only one I have ever used (i bought the 5 pack and am on my second last bottle). I have never noticed any issues with my skin... No break outs, no skin flair ups or inflammation or anything. I have used it on my face and on my most sensitive and private areas (if you know what I mean) and have not had a single issue.
I can't promise that you won't have any issues so I would suggest if you are worried or confused, the only way to know for sure is to buy one and try it to see if you have a reaction to it or any issues. Everyone is different and whilst I have extremely sensitive and fair/pale skin - it is fine for me but someone else could have a reaction. Maybe just buy one, give it a try for the bottle and then if your skin is fine with it you can buy a five pack.
I just have to say that if you do only buy one, you probably won't notice much of a change with the hair growth. As i have said time and time again, Tala is a product that you have to use for a long time to see a good change... but for me, it has been worth it and I continue to use it when I wax my bits. I still have hair but it is much finer and lighter and sparser. I have a lot of bald patches on my VJJ and it motivates me to keep using it to see more results.
Good luck all, and keep me posted with your experience. Even if you end up using something else, I would love to hear about it.

NEW PORT RICHEY — When it comes to New Year's resolutions, nobody in Pasco is likely to write a longer list than Jack Mariano.
As chairman of the Pasco County Commission this year, Mariano has plenty of goals in mind during his tenure.
The goal nearest and dearest to his heart, Mariano said in an interview, is to see the county park at SunWest become a reality in 2014. He remains steadfast in his belief that the park could become a tourism magnet and give the west side of the county a jolt with new development.
For at least four years, Mariano has led people on tours of the Aripeka-area site on the former SunWest mine property, west of U.S. 19. Where casual visitors might see only rocks, weeds and sand in the roughly hewn landscape, Mariano could envision the lakefront park facilities.
Now going through the bidding process for construction in 2014, the first phase of the park includes a new entrance off U.S. 19, beaches on the south and west shores of the lake and a 500-space parking lot. The county is negotiating with wake park designer Pat Panakos to install a cable system and operate the park.
Mariano's enthusiasm is rubbing off on people such as consultant Mario Farias. Farias, who helped bring professional beach volleyball to St. Petersburg's Vinoy Park thinks the SunWest site could be ripe for tournaments as well. Farias was among a group that toured the site Dec. 11.
"We've always struggled for our identity," Mariano said, referring to the county. Pasco could evolve beyond its bedroom community roots, he thinks.
Tourism could become the hallmark of county efforts in 2014, Mariano predicts. Besides SunWest, plans for the Wiregrass area in Wesley Chapel and a combo park, school, theater and homes on Starkey Ranch land are equally "impressive."
Mariano said he wants to "push things along" as chairman. For instance, the SunWest plan started coming together nearly a decade ago.
Nevertheless, "You're still one vote out of five," Mariano said about the role of chairman.
Mariano is serving his third term as a commissioner and previously was chairman in 2009. He reflected on the huge contrast between the county's optimistic outlook now and the depths of the Great Recession four years ago.
Quality of life helps Pasco families and seniors stay happy as residents here, Mariano emphasized. The county now is in a position to do more about it as economic recovery takes hold.
Gasoline taxes could become a hot-potato issue again in 2014. A proposed 5-cent increase in gas taxes last fall stalled. Mariano would prefer finding other sources of funds to build and fix roads.
Pasco should maintain the roads it already has, Mariano said. Moon Lake Road needs attention, so commissioners recently voted to speed up the timetable for improvements to the road south of S.R. 52.
While Mariano supports the Ridge Road extension to the Suncoast Parkway, perhaps the county should entertain converting it into a toll-road project, he suggested.
Plans are proceeding for a privately funded, elevated toll road along much of S. R. 54 from U.S. 19 to the Wesley Chapel area, Mariano said. He was a bit surprised that the Urban Land Institute analysts strongly recommended against the elevated road. The ULI's transportation expert, however, was not able to visit Pasco in October, Mariano noted.

Munga and Gilbert are twin brothers we met in 2001. They needed to help their families with the basic daily necessities of life, especially food and shelter. They are Congolese refugees living in Kenya supporting their entire family. Refugees in Kenya have no rights and cannot find jobs. Heavenly Treasures has been able to help Munga and Gilbert through product development and a simple marketing strategy, locally and internationally.
Munga and Gilbert make beautiful banana bark that has turned into an on-going business. The Nativity sets and angels sold by HT have become best sellers. This Livelihood Project has been a source of income for Munga, his family and relatives for 10 years. The changes in their lives have included continuing education, food, lodging and an opportunity for a better life for each family member. Munga and Gilbert are able to support their mom and dad, sisters and brothers and other relatives.
Christina, Caroline, Kigen and Obadiah were able to visit them in April 2012. They moved to a new house near Nairobi. Here is a testimonial of Caroline's experience with them:
When we got near the road, Munga jumped in our car and sat next to me. He said "Caroline!! I have known you for 10 years but now we are finally meeting!" He told me I was his American sister because Kathy is his American mom. After a bumpy ride to his house, we arrived to the shortest and smallest gateway I've ever seen. They told us the gate was small so it would be hard for criminals or robbers to escape if they tried coming in or out.
Gilbert greeted and welcomed us into their home. We sat down and all around the walls were bible verses. It blessed me to see how they have such faith in God. As I talked with Munga, I asked him if he'd been able to make many friends in their new community as they had only been in this area a few months. He told me no, life is very hard for Congolese refugees in Kenya. They don't have any rights so people treat them as outcasts. Its a real shame because Munga and Gilbert have such cute personalities and a great heart.
I asked them to show me around their home as it was my first time in a real Kenyan home. They showed me how they cook their food and I asked them how they get water. They took us outside and about 200 feet away there was a well. It was a really deep hole in the ground covered with wood. The landlord had made a crank so the bucket could go deep into the ground to get water. They use about 2 gallons of water per day for everything. We were able to take photos together and pray for them. They showed us their samples and we were able to encourage them and build them up. We enjoyed our fellowship, however, it was evident that at times life can be a real struggle. Please pray for them, that God would give them wisdom and discernment, faith when the struggle seems too hard and hope for the future."

Re: Music Resume and Teaching?
I am also a drafter, and I also don't like the job. The problem is that there are so many drafters now that I don't think it is a good career anymore (besides the fact that the work sucks) because the wages have become stagnant due to a huge over-supply of semi-skilled drafters who will work for peanuts just to get a job.
I'm stuck doing this for now, but I'll eventually just start growing stuff (if you know what I mean, legally of course) because I know how to do it pretty good. Besides that, I decided that I just don't want to spend my life surrounded by those office worker types of people everyday of my life. The names and faces change, but the bullshit remains. I am also studying how to be a drum teacher too, but that will take a little time. I need to take a few lesson myself and I need to have a better grasp on my rudiments. I think a NARD membership would look good on my resume since I have no degree. At least I will have some kind of official certificate showing some credentials.
Long story short, maybe a NARD membership will be a great addition to your resume. It couldn't hurt.

Column: A pop quiz for things learned in Sochi
SOCHI, Russia (AP) - You've just spent two weeks of your life watching things you won't even think about for another four years.
Worth it? Perhaps, though putting up with Bob Costas in nerdy glasses wasn't an Olympic moment to remember.
But how much did you really learn from it? Were you really paying close attention?
Here's a pop quiz to see:

a-Johnny Weir committing a fashion faux pas by mixing a hairpiece of yellow flowers with a champagne dinner jacket.

c-Somebody actually thinking they could explain the scoring.
Why don't NHL owners want their players in the Olympics?

b-NHL fans are beginning to realize there's a lot of Russians playing on their favorite teams.
c-It makes people pay far too much attention to hockey.
Why do the Norwegians win so many medals in cross country and biathlon?
a-The nation of 5 million people has 6 million skiers.
b-They're good at trash talking in the middle of a forest.

c-Johnny Weir needed a job.
Why did U.S. Olympic officials claim this was a great Olympics?
a-They were under the mistaken impression Lindsey Vonn won seven golds.
b-They know U.S. athletes would have done better if they had better yogurt.
c-For once the figure skating controversy didn't involve any Americans.
Why was women's hockey suddenly popular?
a-Russians discovered their women players can all score more than Alexander Ovechkin.
b-In an age of parity, people like to see only two teams with a chance at the gold.
c-With a collapse for the ages, the U.S. team finally figured out way to make it interesting.
Why do Olympic officials like to pretend ice dancing is a real sport?
a-Besides running the Olympics, they also control the cartel that makes ice dancing outfits.

This fork arrived too late for inclusion in Singletrack Mountain Bike Magazine issue 58's XC fork group test. So here it is online as promised…
Rock Shox Lyrik Solo Air
Standing in the queue for the bike-park gondola I compared my Solo Air to a triple-clamp fork on someone else's late 90's downhill bike. With 35mm stanchions the single crown Lyric made the other fork look weedy. To have a fork that is as strong as Popeye, literally bulging in the fork lowers to accommodate big bushings, while staying relatively light (2313g) is just fantastic.
Magura Durin
Looking around at the number of dedicated XC forks you'd be forgiven for thinking fork manufacturers had decided that the market was dead and that we all need 160mm forks on all our bikes. Admittedly the need for 80mm forks isn't what it was so it's nice when someone, in this case Magura, comes along and makes one. And does a good job of it too.

The Medici has lasted a lot longer of the other other better restaurants in Chicago. Having gone there for nearly 18 years, I'm not sure if anyone would consider it a four star restaurant but it does have charm that one can't find at other local places. I've noticed that the food has improved vastly since 2011 when the place took a different direction and paid closer attention to the menu and food preparation. The recent remodeling to the Med entry feels a bit awkward upon first encounter. In any case the Medici is a good place to meet friends, have a decent meal and relax.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/20/2010
Fantastic place to visit once, but I live across the street but don't go very often because the can't match the great atmosphere with even decent food. If I'm going to take years off my life eating this super high fat food, I feel entitled to enjoying the process. The three worst meals I've had in Hype Park were all here, and I'm no food snob, but this is really sub par! Somehow it is always busy but more because it is a Hyde Park (and U of C) institution than for good food.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/09/2009
For non-brunch meals, the Med is expensive, overcrowded, and not so amazing. But if you get there before 11am on a Sunday it's the perfect place to read the paper over a cup of coffee and some awesome eggs. The squeeze-your-own orange juice is a classic. Two of us shared pancakes, eggs, potatoes, a turkey croissant, bacon, sausage, coffee, and oj for about $25 - not exactly pocket change, but a great brunch.
Posted by Katelyn on 06/23/2009
I wouldn't go here if there were other options in Hyde Park. The service was so bad it made me feel like I was in France. The food was average.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/15/2009
The Medici is only popular because it is convenient to University of Chicago students. It is overpriced and the food is not very good. There is absolutely nothing remotely healthy to order on the menu. The waiters ignore you, and the hostess acts like you're wasting her time.
Posted by anon on 04/10/2009
I've been going to the Med since I was literally an infant, and it's basically exactly the same as it ever was - pizza, burgers, a few random menu items, all served by jaded U of C students who are perpetually in a rush. Food's good, not mindblowing, but you're not there to expand your palate. The "Obama Eats Here" t-shirts are a little silly, but by Hyde Park standards this place is golden.
Posted by anonymous on 03/02/2009
The last review was right. Medici's could only exist in an atmosphere like Hyde Park, where competition is limited. It is overpriced, average quality, and service is slow. Hyde Park has a tradition of what i call, "zombie restaurants". They are restaurants that you rarely have anyone in it, but somehow are able to stay open, for example Orley's and Picolo Mondo. Medici's is considered good because it is competing against these zombie restaurants.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

To Tempe and Back!
I was fortunate to be able to participate in my 3rd collegiate nationals with the team. What a journey it was! We left Wednesday night, arrived in Tempe on Thursday, raced Friday and Saturday, competed for the Spirit Award the entire weekend only to have it stolen by UC Santa Barbara. If only our conference was as united as theirs (and actually showed up to awards), maybe we could have won. However, we've been nominated as finalists two years in a row now, so third time's a charm , right? After an uneventful bus drive, we made it to College Station late Sunday night. I'm super proud of how all of our zebras did, from Carleigh's break-out performance in the Olympic distance to Colin McCatharn's blazing run that put him into top 75. Our girls finished 6th out of the women with Lauren Lewis leading the team, narrowly missing the podium by 10 points. Combined, we also finished 6th as a team behind University of Colorado, UCLA, UC Berkeley, West Point, and Navy. Michael Arishita had a great performance finishing 13th in the combined men's score. Our relay also had a stellar performance, finishing 11th out of over 40 teams.
It has been very exciting to serve as your 2013-2014 president, but I'm afraid it is time to pass on the baton. Colin McCatharn will be your new president, and he's got my full support going on into the next school year!

Texas A&M Triathlon TT Invitational Results!
Great job to everyone who come out today! Today it was wet, windy, cold, rainy, wavy, and 57 degree water temperature... But we did it! Whether you only did the swim, bike/run, or all three, just know that all other triathlons out there are going to be easy from here on out. :) Dustin Joubert was the fastest male and Ciara Teter was the fastest female. Each individual received a $25 gift card to Brazos Running Co.
Results are posted here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7a0VlTbD928VVdYOEg2NzVLYms. The bike/run course this year was slightly longer than in previous years, but you can still compare past times by going here. Also keep in mind that the swim times may be slightly skewed as our first turn buoy came untied from the anchor as our first swimmers reached it, and it drifted to shore. The later swimmers may have ended up cutting the course a bit.
Lastly, thanks to the University of Texas, Baylor University, Texas State University, University of Incarnate Ward, and University of Houston for coming out and racing with us! We had 61 racers with 28 completing the entire race and no injuries/accidents/major mishaps. We look forward to hanging out with y'all at regionals and nationals!
Also a shout out to our partner Bay Area Cycling for being bike support for our race and Jack and Adams for lending us transition racks!
If there are any issues with the results, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
