Not only did I appreciate looking at my hot date during dinner :) , but I also appreciated the quality and taste of my pasta dish. I ordered the gnocchi pasta dish and it was very good. The portion and taste were up-to-par. A little expensive for a gnocchi dish but because service was great I did not put a price on my dish for outstanding service. I told the waited I was scheduled to see a show and that I was pressed for time. So, indeed the waiter did not skip a beat and our dinner was served in a timely fashion. Once again, food was tasty. My friend was also satisfied with his meal! I will recommend the place and I will visit again.

I went for brunch this past Sunday with my bf bc the menu looked decent. Upon seating, we ordered some water and my boyfriend gets a bloody mary. It doesn't occur to us to ask the price because we assume it can't be THAT much since it's brunch and bloody mary's are a staple. The bloody mary comes, we order and wait. I notice every table around us had a breadbasket... ours was just "forgotten" and never brought out even after asking for it. The food came, I asked for a diet coke, it tasted like the filter hadn't been cleaned in years. I had two sips and couldn't take it anymore. Even my bf said it was disappointing. Food was simply ok. I got an omelet with deli ham w/ way too salty cheese. I asked for more ketchup & by the time that came around i was practically done. Our hostess was standing behind the curtain peering at everyone (not helping) while sipping a bloody mary. At this point we had already written up the restaurant as poor then the check came. $12 for a bloody mary?! You've got to be kidding me! Both our meals weren't even $12! how can you possibly charge more than a meal for a drink? We asked her if that was correct, she was rude and just said yes that's how much it is. I couldn't believe that it cost 1/4 of our meal. After crappy service, a creepy hostess, and not great food I'll never return.

My husband and I went here and we will never go back. I was excited by the cool looking atmosphere, and am a huge fan of Italian food, but the experience we had while attempting to dine here was so beyond horrendous. We were seated at one of their crowded inside tables, an inch away from our neighbors (I know this is NYC but come on!) and were knocked around so much that at one point a waiter knocked me on the head, throwing my sunglasses on the ground, and forcing me to crawl on the floor looking for them-- while not one staff member even acknowledged, let alone apologized or assisted me in my search. This continued to happen throughout the ordering process-- constant bumping, waiters and hostesses reaching over our heads to talk to each other or pass things around. I was trying to be patient, be cool and let things go, but when our food finally came, and was dropped in front of us, upsetting other things on our table, I was so turned off that I didn't even want to eat anymore. We stood up and walked out.

the only credit i will give this place is the atmosphere. the candle-lit tables and crispy bread/sun-dried tomato dip were also pleasant. however, here's where the trouble started: 1. when it began to rain and we asked the manager if we could move inside from our outdoor table, he said he'd be right back, and never returned. it started raining so bad that the rain was hitting our food and they refused to help move our table closer to the window. 2. our busboy was eager to take our food away halfway through our meals even while there was a significant amount of food still waiting to be eaten. 3. the hostess was rude and turned her head when i asked if they supplied mints. altogether the staff is rude and clearly un-trained. if you're looking to get talked down to while eating a mediacore meal, you should absolutely go here.

My boyfriend and I decided to try this restaurant a few weekends ago and were blown away by our experience. I was nervous after reading mixed reviews, but everything was beyond my expectations. The outdoor seating was cozy and very relaxing. Service was great, the waitstaff always made sure our plates were cleared and our wine glasses were filled. The food was absolutely delicious. I tried the gnocchi with truffle cream sauce after hearing raving reviews about it and agree with everyone who loves it. My boyfriend had a different kind of ravioli and was just as happy and satisfied as me. While a little bit on the pricey side, I will definitely be coming back here because I had such a positive experience.

I dined at this restaurant with my boyfriend last night. I knew they serve a great brunch but I wasn't sure if they serve satisfying Italian dishes. Since I experienced a lot of Italian home cooking dishes prepared by an Italian person, I found many Italian restaurant in New York was somewhat disappointing. We ordered Baffalo Mozzarella cheese and tomotoes as as an appetizer(shared), Bolonaise linguini and Vongolez linguini for main dishes, and chocolate mousse for dessert. Everything tasted so wonderful and amazing!! The way pasta is cooked with very fine olive oil was soooo indulzing. The dishes tasted real and authentic Italian food I had in a very local restaurant in Pisa, Italy. I don't understand the other negative reviews about this restaurant, but I had a great eating experience here and will definitely go back soon.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/04/2009
I rarely go out for italian food; I would rather make it myself it is inevitably better. However, this place was divine. The wait-staff was great, she was from Bologna, truly and I could speak to her in italian. Maybe that is why the food was fabulous. the fresh pasta and veal meatballs was just plain yummy. I couldn't have been happier. If you want an inexpensive meal, don't eat on the Upper East Side. It is that simple. Go to little italy or the east village. You might find cheap there or new jersey. I would go back in a heart beat.

don't feel like blogging. again.
Not feeling it tonight, people. It's not you, it's me. Oh wait, maybe it is you. Anyway. I'll just tell you what I did today so you can be jealous. Because you know I lead the Glamorous Life like Sheila E. here and all.
1. I read almost as much of the New York Times as I wanted to, and... I SOLVED THE PUZZLE! Solving the Sunday puzzle is always a noteworthy accomplishment.
2. I went to the gym and walked for an hour. This gave me enough time to listen to this week's This American Life. Which made me think about how much I want to write for that show.
3. Watched way too much Discovery Health Channel. Today was apparently their day to show all the very sad obesity stories. I watched and was sad for them. Then I had to stop watching, and instead took a short walk around my neighborhood, and then cleaned my kitchen while listening to the Scissor Sisters.
4. Watched the second half of the Giants/Bengals game, until... the damn station cut over to the Eagles/Steelers game! Right as the Giants and Bengals went into overtime! Stupid Philadelphia channels!!! Fortunately, I texted my oldest nephew and asked him to tell me when the Giants game was over and what the final score was. He sent me a very informative text for each play until the Giants game-winning field goal. Oldest nephew is going to be a kickass sportscaster someday.
5. I had dinner with the LesleyParents. My mom made this tasty shrimp, tomato, basil over fettucini that she makes. I passed on the fettucini, and ate the shrimp, tomato, and basil by themselves along with some feta cheese for extra protein. OMG SO GOOD. I will probably make this recipe again soon, and post some photos too, if you think you can handle the foodporn.
6. Went out for some post-dinner Starbucks, came home and caught some of the Emmys, and now it's time for my daily dose of blogging. Oh and also my daily dose of sleepies. Good night.

Extramural Research
Global Statement of Need
Grantee Research Project Results
In September 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted the Millennium Declaration , which identified the fundamental values essential for international relations in the 21st century, and set out a range of goals and targets relevant to environment and development. Subsequently, the UN Secretary General identified a series of eight Millennium Development Goals extracted from the declaration, and associated these with a series of 18 targets and 48 indicators.
During preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the UN Secretary General proposed the "WEHAB" initiative to provide focus and impetus to action in the five key thematic areas of water, energy, health, agriculture and biodiversity and ecosystem management. The thematic paper on biodiversity and ecosystem management clearly identifies the importance of biodiversity in food security, health, income generation, reduced vulnerability and ecosystem services.
As the Millennium Development Goals are concerned with very much the same issues – hunger, health, poverty and environmental sustainability – it has become increasingly clear that the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services should be seen as an important factor in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. At the same time there is concern that the drive to achieve some of the goals in the absence of consideration of biodiversity issues may impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services potentially causing further problems.

Andrew Sullivan recently ran a letter by an anonymous reader asking: "Is Max Boot completely loony?" Funny, I had the same question about Andrew after reading his response to my post on whether we should be concerned about Prime Minister Maliki's vague demands for a timetable for an eventual U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Andrew takes particular objection to my assertion that "U.S. forces will need to remain in Iraq for years to nurture this embattled democracy–and not so incidentally to protect our own interests in the region." He writes:
Not so incidentally? The Iraq war was not sold on the basis of protecting US interests in the region. It was sold on protecting us from a massively over-stated threat, and then to allow for a post-Saddam democracy of sorts. If the Iraqis ask us to leave, we have no business staying. And posts like Boot's today can only reinforce suspicions that the real motive for invading Iraq was rather different – not incidentally – from that given at the time.
I don't understand what Andrew is saying, and that's not just a figure of speech. I really don't get it. His second sentence ("The Iraq war was not sold on the basis of protecting US interests in the region") contradicts the third sentence ("It was sold on protecting us from a massively over-stated threat, and then to allow for a post-Saddam democracy of sorts"). Leave aside the false implication that the creation of an Iraqi democracy was an afterthought–a commonly heard assertion from critics of the war, which ignores President Bush's numerous references in prewar speeches about his desire to create an Iraqi democracy. The main reason for the invasion, of course, was the conclusion of the CIA and every other intelligence agency in the world that Saddam was developing weapons of mass destruction in violation of United Nations sanctions. The threat, as we later found out, was over-stated, but, based on the best intelligence we had, it was natural that most Americans (including you, Andrew) concluded that Saddam's regime did pose a threat to "US interests in the region." The war was "sold" precisely on the basis that we would eradicate this threat.
In his last sentence Andrew hints that there was some deep, dark motive for invading Iraq that wasn't stated at the time. Again, I literally have no idea what he is talking about. For a possible clue as to his meaning, I have to turn to a previous post of Andrew's in which he also attacks me. He writes that he and other anti-war critics
just want a sane response as to what "winning" means – and preferably in line with the war-aims of 2003. If it means disarming and deposing and executing Saddam, we have won. But if it means a permanent occupation of Iraq until no possible threat from there could ever emerge, we will be there for ever. That, we now discover, was the goal. Quite why we do not fully know. It cannot be an end to terror: that comes from everywhere, democracies and autocracies alike. We are left with oil, a misguided belief that the West's occupation of the Middle East will protect Israel, and, well, just because we can. None of these arguments is persuasive to me, when you factor in the enormous costs, drain on the military and absurdism of Iraqi political culture.
This is a little more revealing of Andrew's thinking, although it's so muddled that the more of it I see, the more confused I get. Let's see if we can unravel this a bit.
He claims that if the goal was "disarming and deposing and executing Saddam, we have won." That's true. But it would be a very hollow victory indeed if, having deposed Saddam, we left chaos in his wake–chaos that would threaten our interests. That would be like someone in 1945 saying, "The goal of the war was to disarm and depose and kill Hitler, so we have won. Why keep troops in Germany?" The answer, of course, is that ending the previous regime is only part of the goal. If we remain satisfied with that narrow objective we risk repeating the mistake of 1919 when, having deposed Kaiser Wilhem II, the Allied powers failed to build a durable, democratic regime in Germany.
Sorry, Andrew; I know you don't like analogies between Iraq and Germany, since, as you so astutely point out, there are differences between them. If you prefer, I could offer an analogy to our intervention in Haiti in 1994 when we put Jean Bertrand Aristide back into power but didn't stick around long enough to midwife a lasting democracy. The result is that Haiti is no better off than it was before our intervention.
Perhaps you don't like the Haiti analogy either. If so, perhaps you could provide some convincing evidence that the U.S. can invade a country, topple its regime, leave immediately–and expect a lasting, positive outcome. The best-case scenarios one could cite are probably Granada and Panama. But I would submit that the differences between Granada/Panama and Iraq are even greater than the differences between Iraq and Germany. Granada and Panama, after all, weren't targets of subversion for hostile neighbors or international terrorist groups.
But back to your inquiry into our reasons for intervention. You write that we could not have gone into Iraq to put "an end to terror: that comes from everywhere, democracies and autocracies alike." At the risk of another analogy to a period you'd rather not mention, that's like saying we could not have gone into World War II to end militarism because that could arise from anywhere. True, but we did fight to end two particularly noxious strains of militarism emanating from Japan and Germany. Likewise, by deposing Saddam, we eliminated the well-documented threat he posed to the region. We also eliminated his connections to some terrorist groups. (For details, see this report commissioned by the U.S. Joint Forces Command and released last November.) No one ever claimed–and I mean no one–that deposing Saddam would result in the end of all terrorism.
Having knocked down that straw man, you proceed to list some other possible reasons for our intervention: "We are left with oil, a misguided belief that the West's occupation of the Middle East will protect Israel, and, well, just because we can."
I've already pointed out there is nothing illegitimate about protecting the flow of oil when the entire global economy depends on that precious commodity. As for protecting Israel, again there is nothing wrong with that, since Israel is our ally. But the protection of Israel is, at most, a very peripheral impact from our intervention in Iraq. Of more immediate concern is that we protect other allies much closer to Iraq, namely the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Turkey. Even more important, we need to protect ourselves: having Iraq turn into a setting for civil war, genocide, and international terrorism is hardly in our best interests.
I won't bother responding to your final, juvenile taunt about "just because we can." Instead, I will end on a note of concurrence. "If the Iraqis ask us to leave, we have no business staying," you write. I agree. My point was that the Iraqis aren't asking us to leave because, unlike you and other anti-war voices in the United States, they realize that the consequences of a an overly hasty American pullout would be catastrophic.
As for how will we know we've succeeded? That's a matter of judgment but our objectives are fairly clear. Simply look at President Bush's National Strategy for Victory in Iraq, released in 2005. It lists short-, medium-, and long-term goals. The long-term objective include an Iraq that "is peaceful, united, stable, and secure, well integrated into the international community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism." Thanks to the surge, which you opposed, we're well on our way to achieving that goal, and as we do we can safely reduce troop levels even further. But a precipitous pullout still could undo the gains of the past year.

Academic Appeals
The academic appeals process is available to students requesting exception to academic requirements, procedures and policy.
Students should carefully review the policy on academic appeals (posted below and in most recent academic catalog) before filing an academic appeal. Questions regarding the appropriateness of an appeal should be directed to a University advisor.
If an appeal is necessary, the student should log in to SpartanWeb to download and complete an
Academic Petition Form (PDF)
, then request instructions from the University Academic Advising Office.
Policy on Academic Appeals
The policy statement below is taken from the
2014-2015 catalog
The following policy applies to student appeals for exception to University academic policy, waiver of academic requirements or dispute over student grades. Note: The conditions under which a grade dispute may enter the appeals process are described in the "Grading" section.
Requests for exceptions to the academic policies and procedures described in this chapter begin as petitions filed in the Academic Advising Office and are decided by the Associate Provost. If a petition is not answered in a way that satisfies the student, he or she may advance an appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee. The Associate Provost reserves the right to refer petitions to the Academic Appeals Committee for disposition as academic appeals.
Student appeals on academic issues, up to and including academic dismissal, must be filed in the Academic Advising Office, whereupon cases will be processed by the Academic Appeals Committee. It is the student's responsibility to provide all necessary documentation to the committee for review. The committee will take into account information from the instructor, as well as information from any other source the committee deems appropriate. The committee will render a decision in the case.
The student may request that the case be reconsidered by the Academic Appeals Committee only in the event that new information is available after the committee has rendered its decision.
The decision of the Academic Appeals Committee is considered final. If the student believes that due process was not followed, he or she may request review by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate, which will render a decision as to whether the Academic Appeals Committee afforded due process to the student in its consideration of the appeal.
The policy statement below is taken from the
2014-2015 catalog.
Grading is the prerogative of the instructor. In the case of a disputed grade, an undergraduate student must first contact the instructor and request reconsideration. The student may also contact his or her academic adviser. If the matter remains unresolved, the student must notify, in writing, the chair of the instructor's department. Written notification must be received no later than the completion of the seventh week of the term following the semester in which the grade was awarded. If the contested grade was awarded in the fall semester, this appeal procedure must be initiated no later than the end of the seventh week of the following spring semester. If the contested grade was awarded for the spring semester, intersession or summer session, this appeal procedure must be initiated no later than the end of the seventh week of the following fall semester. No course grades will be subject to change after final graduation certification. See the
Office of Graduate and Continuing Studies
section of this catalog for the policy on academic appeals for graduate students. Students who remain dissatisfied should contact the dean of the instructor's college for information or advice on possible resolution of the dispute. The above described channels of resolution must be exhausted before students may submit grade-related disputes to the Academic Appeals Committee.

Saturday, April 2, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Let me preface this column by stating that I am not a union member, for a couple of pretty good reasons.
First, professors at Georgia's higher education institutions, like K-12 teachers, are not unionized. Many (like me) belong to state or national associations, but those do not function as unions in Georgia, where public employees have no collective bargaining rights and no right to strike.
Also, I have to admit that I've never been keen on the idea of signing away some of my individual rights in favor of group rights, which is what union membership requires.
However, that doesn't mean I don't sympathize to some degree with beleaguered teachers' unions in other states, or that I don't understand why teachers in any state might want to unionize.
There seems to be a widespread misconception, promulgated by right-wing pundits and embraced by those who regard anyone with a college degree as suspect, that teachers' unions exist solely to stymie virtuous administrators seeking to rid the system of bad apples.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, good teachers join unions where they can, and professional associations where they can't, to protect themselves from incompetent, capricious and corrupt administrators.
Because if there's one thing I've learned in 26 years as a teacher, an administrator and a parent, it's that classroom teachers are far more likely than administrators to behave decently and to be good at their jobs.
I'm not saying there aren't plenty of good administrators out there, especially at the lower levels of K-12 education. My children were blessed to have some exceptional principals in elementary and middle school.
Such a principal's influence extends well beyond the school walls. Very few individuals are capable of making such a positive impact upon an entire community.
Unfortunately, a bad or mediocre principal's influence is just as far-reaching. We see the effects of incompetent school leadership all around us.
You have to understand that education is not like the business world. Teachers do not become administrators just because they're good and someone recognizes that and offers them a promotion. In fact, the skills that make a great classroom teacher might not translate at all to administration.
In order to become an administrator, a teacher must first WANT to take that step. Many fine classroom teachers have absolutely no interest in administrative work.
The ones who toss their names into the hat do so for a variety of reasons, including a desire to serve, a desire for a higher salary and a desire to get out of the classroom. In most cases, all three motives come into play, but when numbers two and three outweigh number one, as they all too often do, the consequences can be disastrous.
So yes, I understand why teachers might want to unionize. If you had to work for some of the people they have to work for, you would, too.

The dough is sticky.
So when you roll it out, make sure you use enough flour. And roll to about 1/4" thickness.
I was brushing with egg and sprinkling the cinnamon/sugar on each one individually. Until my mom was here when I made a batch. "Brush and sprinkle the entire surface and then cut", she said. Genius.
They are light and fluffy. And biting into the cinnamon chip is, well, yumm. And do you know what they go really well with?

Second time we had lunch. It's quiet, and charming. Not very exciting food and not inexpensive. Good place for a Mario sighting-he seems to hang out here at lunch. Maybe he can zip up the menu a bit. Beef cheek ravioli could have been filled with anything. We would not go back again.

Completely overrated. Service is obnoxious and the food is too heavy. Pass on this and try some of the other great Italian places in NYC
Posted by diningcompanions4ever on 08/21/2011
Echoing other recent reviews, we found Babbo seriously disappointing. While the food presentation was impressive, the service and ambience were both surprisingly mediocre. Our experience consisted of a rude hostess from the get-go, an inattentive and snotty waiter, frenetic bus boys, loud and puzzling music (werewolf in london twice in 20 minutes? morphine? what?) Overall the food was good (albeit salty), but not exceptional and certainly not worth the $100 price tag per person. Babbo appears to be another victim of celebrity chef syndrome.We'll check this one off our list and won't be back. And won't be stopping by Eataly either.
Posted by rustyb on 05/06/2011
Food is great but the wine mark up has to be the most outrageous in the city. At a recent dinner we had the sommelier select a borolo for us, which ended up being ok. When we got the bill it was a $250 bottle that retails for $29.99. Ouch
Posted by jrod112000 on 04/24/2011
I think the title says it all. Went there for a special occasion, and am glad I got it out of my system. Although the food was outstanding, the service was horrendous. The waiters might want to take a class from the runners/busboys on manners, and etiquette. Will not be back. And hopefully after reading the millions of other reviews, hopefully they will do something about this.

I've dined here three times. pastas are usually good but better places can be found in NYC like morini. tonight all four pastas were over salted. apps and entrees were so-so; branzino was disappointing. only standout was the pineapple dessert. service was good but what a rude maitre-d! we had reservations for an early dinner and he told our party of five that we must leave by a certain time for the next seating. what restaurant does that? who do they think they are? never going back.
Posted by familyfoodie on 04/01/2011
Still nothing like Babbo. Fantastic food and service, some excellent new things on the menu, they never lose a step.

29 Great Gifts for Mother's Day
BY Diane Anderson-Minshall
May 09 2013 7:18 PM ET
Something to Make Car Trips Easier
The tiny Condigo Trivia Cube Game uses the QR reader on your smartphone to pose trivia questions so you can play on the go or toss it in the backseat to keep the peace on your next road trip. (CondigoCube.com, $14.99)
Tastier Tea for Two
Tea sets are all the rage for Mother's Day gift, but this year skip the tradition and give her a gift set with the new Numi Organic Savory Teas, which combine organic vegetables, wild herbs, decaf tea, and aromatic spices for something that's not quite a soup, not quite tea, but perfect for a rainy spring day. Flavors include Beet Cabbage, Broccoli Cilantro, Carrot Curry, and more. (NumiTea.com, $7.99 and up)
Where Babies Come From — Now
Hands down, one of this year's best Mother's Day gift has to be Cory Silverberg's hardcover children's book What Makes a Baby, which is the perfect 21st-century "Where do babies come from?" picture book. The book talks about where babies come from in a way that encompasses kids who are adopted, conceived using reproductive technologies, through surrogacy, or the old-fashioned way, and regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender, and other identity, or family composition. Author and sex educator Silverberg nails it, as does award-winning Canadian artist Fiona Smyth, who illustrated the book. (SevenStories.com, $16.95)

I gathered myself, and took a new view on the event. When I saw him after the show I told him he did a great job, and that I was proud of him for getting up in front of a huge audience and doing his thing. He gave me a big hug, then looked me in the eyes and told me "Dad, we were terrible - but at least we had a lot of fun doing it - he then ran off to the after-party down the hall, and had a lot of fun with his friends". After seeing how accepting and resilient he was of a small failure, I thanked God for helping me to be supportive and kind instead of saying something stupid.
Thanks for the devotional - it definitely helped me to be a better person!

Great posts.
We are so lucky to have a Heavenly Father who loves us the way he does, if God treated us half as bad as we sometimes treat our children by yelling when we shouldn't or possibly putting them down....life would be miserable.

Parque Nacional Los Alerces in Northern Patagonia
Geography and Climate
About 45 kilometers west of Esquel via RN 259 and RP 71, Los Alerces is a 263,000-hectare unit on the eastern Andean slope. Its highest point is 2,253-meter Cerro Torrecillas, but Pacific storms that penetrate the lower cordillera here make it wetter than most of Argentine Patagonia.
Past glaciations have left navigable finger lakes that provide access to some of the park's finest sights. Summers are mild, with temperatures reaching 24°C with cool nights, but winters average barely 2°C and see ample snowfall.
Most destinations within the park are described with reference to La Villa, the villagelike cluster of services at Lago Futalaufquen's south end.
Flora and Fauna
Besides the alerce, the park's other conifers include the Chilean incense cedar and the Guaiteca cypress, both with limited geographical distribution. Most of the rest of the forest consists of the broadleaf southern beeches coihue, lenga, and ñire. The arrayán nears the southern limit of its range here.
For hikers, one of the worst plagues is the colihue, a solid bamboo that forms impassable thickets. The aggressive exotic Rosa moschata, a European introduction, is displacing native plants.
In this dense forest, Los Alerces's fauna is less conspicuous, but the huemul (Andean deer) is present, along with its miniature distant relative the pudú. Birds include the chucao (a common songbird), the austral parakeet, and the Patagonian woodpecker.
Additional Area Information
Sights and Recreation
On the Río Desaguadero, east of RP 71 at the south end of Lago Futalaufquen, the Sendero del Poblamiento Prehistórico is an easy 500-meter nature trail that passes a natural overhang with fading pre-Columbian rock art, some of it clearly geometrical; it then climbs through forest to an overlook with expansive panoramas to the north.
Register with rangers to hike the steep route to the 1,916-meter summit of Cerro Alto El Dedal, reached by a trailhead from Puerto Bustillo, two kilometers north of La Villa; figure about six hours round-trip to complete the hike. From the same trailhead, Cinco Saltos is a shorter and easier hike to a series of waterfalls.
From Puerto Limonao, four kilometers north of La Villa, the 25-kilometer Sendero Lago Krüger follows Lago Futalaufquen's south shore to the smaller Lago Krüger, which has a campground and a lodge; register with rangers before beginning the hike, which has only one authorized campsite, at Playa Blanca, between the trailhead and the lodge. Daily boat service to Lago Krüger costs about US$20 pp.
Circuito Lacustre
Los Alerces' traditional excursion is the "lake circuit" from Puerto Limonao, at Lago Futalaufquen's south end, to the Río Arrayanes outlet of Lago Verde; at Puerto Mermoud, a catwalk crosses to Lago Menéndez's Puerto Chucao, where another boat continues to Puerto Sagrario.
From Puerto Sagrario, passing blue-green Lago Cisne, a looping nature trail goes to the El Alerzal grove and the landmark El Abuelo, the oldest and most impressive alerce specimen. While there are guides on the hike to and from El Abuelo, it's possible to separate from the group; it's not possible, though, to hike elsewhere in an area that's mostly limited-access zona intangible.
It's possible to start the excursion at either Puerto Limonao (US$42 pp) or Puerto Chucao (US$29 pp), though low water often eliminates the Limonao–Chucao segment. Scheduled departures are at 9:30 a.m. from Limonao, returning by 6 p.m., and 11:30 a.m. from Chucao, returning by 4:15 p.m. Any Esquel travel agency can make reservations, but it's possible to purchase tickets here on a space-available basis.
Accommodations and Food
Los Alerces has numerous campgrounds and other accommodations, mostly near Lago Futalaufquen. In addition to organized campgrounds, formerly free agreste ("wild") campgrounds now charge for limited services but are much cleaner than in the past.
Accessible by road, organized campgrounds all have picnic tables, fire pits, toilets, hot showers, and access to groceries and restaurants; some have electrical outlets. Among them are Camping Los Maitenes (tel. 02945/45-1003, US$5 pp), only 200 meters from the Intendencia at Futalaufquen's south end; Camping Bahía Rosales (tel. 02945/47-1004, US$6 pp), 14 kilometers from La Villa on the eastern lakeshore; Camping Lago Verde (tel. 02945/45-4421, US$7 pp), 36 kilometers north of La Villa on the eponymous lake; and Camping Lago Rivadavia (tel. 02945/45- 4381, US$5 pp), 42 kilometers north of La Villa at the south end of its namesake lake.
Reached only by a 25-kilometer footpath or launch from Puerto Limonao, Camping & Hostería Lago Krüger (tel. 02945/45-3718 in Esquel) is the only backcountry campsite and hotel. Having undergone a major renovation, it charges about US$6 pp for camping, US$87 pp with full board in the hostería.
For groups of any size, the cheapest noncamping options are places like Cabañas Tejas Negras (RP 71, tel. 02945/47-1046, email@example.com, US$79 d), about 12 kilometers north of La Villa.
About six kilometers north of La Villa, Hostería Quimé-Quipán (RP 71 s/n, tel./fax 02945/47-1021, US$61–66 s, US$68–100 d, with half board) has simple but comfortable rooms, some with lake views; the restaurant is adequate.
Four kilometers north of La Villa, the park's prestige accommodation is the Bustillo-built Hostería Futalaufquen (tel. 02945/15- 46-5941, US$159–242 s or d with half board, depending on view, in high season). With only nine rooms, it enjoys a privileged end-of-the-road location on Lago Futalaufquen's western shore; distinctive features include beamed Tudor-style ceilings, a walk-in granite fireplace, copper chandeliers, and a polished wooden bar. The restaurant is open to nonguests (reservations required for dinner).
Other Practicalities
Colloquially known as La Villa, Villa Futalaufquen is the park headquarters. The APN's Museo y Centro de Informes (tel. 02945/47-1015, ext. 14, firstname.lastname@example.com, 8 a.m.–9 p.m. daily mid-Dec.–Apr., 9 a.m.–8 p.m. daily the rest of the year) is both a museum, with history and natural history exhibits, and a helpful ranger information center.
At both the northern Lago Rivadavia and eastern La Portada entrances, rangers collect a US$7 pp admission charge, which is valid for a week and includes other area parks. After 9 p.m., when the tollbooths close, there's no one to collect the charge, but they check on the way out.
In addition to the APN headquarters, La Villa also has a grocery, public telephones, and a first-aid station.
Transportes Esquel buses between Esquel and Lago Puelo pick up and drop off passengers along RP 71 within the park; some northbound buses go only to Lago Rivadavia before returning to Esquel. Puelo-bound passengers can disembark and reboard another day as long as they do not reverse direction.

During the transition to the new ISP I've been stacking up stuff that I wanted to post here. This is a relatively old entry in John Scalzi's blog Whatever, which is ever so much more popular than mine (which is fine: he has worked hard at it.) It has been "taunting the tauntable" for more than ten years.
It deals with a visit to the Creation Museum, a 70,000 square foot "temple to [a] load of horseshit" – namely, that the Biblical account of Creation and the Flood is literally true – to the point that dinosaurs are dragons, and their time on earth corresponds to Egypt's Fifth Dynasty.
Not Scalzi: Too Much Head Hair
Let me say this much: I have to admit admiration for the pure balls-out, high-octane creationism that's on offer here. Not for the Creation Museum that mamby-pamby weak sauce known as "Intelligent Design," which tries to slip God by as some random designer, who just sort of got the ball rolling by accident. Screw that, pal: The Creation Museum's God is hands on! He made every one of those animals from the damn mud and he did it no earlier than 4004 BC, or thereabouts. It's all there in the book, son, all you have to do is look. Indeed, every single thing on display in the Creation Museum is either caused by or a consequence of exactly three things:
- The six-day creation;
- Adam eating from the tree of life;
- Noah's flood.
Really, that's it. That's the Holy Trinity of explanations and rationalizations.
Scalzi would not have given the place a single penny, but conducted a fund drive to pay for the cost of tickets (about $5000 that was donated to Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. He has saved a lot of us the trouble of ever giving them any of our pennies. It's scary how many folks believe this stuff – which he rightly characterizes as "a pile of horseshit" . . . well, read it for yourself. It's absolutely wonderfully written, as you might expect. He kicked over some hornet's nests over it, but didn't have any trouble responding.
Quick Update: The Scalzi took note of my fulsome praise. In turn I have added him to the blogroll. Ficlome!

This thread is full of win ... hehehe thongs.
This has rarely come up for me, but I can think of a couple of occasions. In the first instance I was as sober as a priest. And like some people here, I just stayed silent. I always figured that if I didn't have something nice to say, I wouldn't say anything at all. And when I smell bullshit I'm generally not thinking of telling the guy how much he impresses me with his stories.
The other time I was drunk and somehow got caught up in a conversation and the gentlemen in questions was telling me how 'his friend' could stop an armbar easy, by pinching the achilles ... and I said "why wouldn't you just break his arm at that point!?". I had only been training for a few months at that point too. Still baffles me.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - The United States and Saudi Arabia issued a joint warning today to Syria and Iran.
Presenting a united front, the two countries warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that they will boost support to rebels fighting to oust him unless he steps down.
Meanwhile, activists say Syrian rebels have launched an offensive to try to seize an air base near the Turkish border and clashed with government forces at a historic mosque in the nation's largest city of Aleppo today.

Margaret first worked in the Department of Alien Assimilation which focused on migrants post arrival, before moving to the Assisted Division which handled the reception of assisted European migrants arriving in Melbourne. Her final position was working for the General Assisted Passage Scheme, assisting migrants from the US, Scandinavia and Switzerland who came individually on general ships as opposed to migrant ships. She recalls her time with the Department with great pleasure. She was a young single woman and had just finished an Arts degree at Melbourne University. When she applied to the Public Service, she was placed with the Department of Immigration, as she spoke German. She left when she married in 1961 as per the policy at that time.

Opening an online PDF document
Printing a PDF document
Install the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat reader after making sure that a version of the internet browser (Internet Explorer, NetScape etc.) suggested by the Adobe Reader system requirements is already installed.
Many PDF documents are frequently edited in the latest PDF format. Acrobat versions are partially backwards compatible; the basic document can be processed and opened in previous desktop versions, but the latest features are inaccessible. The real problem is opening the document from within Internet Explorer or Netscape with older versions of Acrobat.
Documents created and/or edited in Acrobat 6.0, for example, are built in PDF v1.5. This version of the PDF "language" contains the features found in Acrobat 6. Acrobat 5 was built to work with Internet Explorer 5.0 and Netscape 4.5 to 4.77 and 6.0 while Acrobat 6 was built to work with IE 5.01, 5.5, 6.0 or 6.1. Attempting to use an earlier version of Acrobat with an HTML browser it is not compatible with will result in an error similar to the following:
These documents can, usually, be read off-line with the desktop version of the Adobe Reader currently installed. Downloading the document (by right-clicking on the PDF link and then selecting "Save Target (or File) As") and then opening it with an earlier desktop version of the Acrobat Reader will allow the user to view the document, just not the latest features. A reminder to upgrade (see below) will appear as the document is loading if the "Do not show this message again" checkbox has not been previously checked.
The solution for sucessfully viewing these documents on-line involves installing the latest version of the Adobe Reader after the versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape specified in the Adobe Reader system requirements have been installed.

Thread: 77% of us will have higher taxes
There will always be compromise to meet the masses. The problem is the lack of political fidelity. The more people there are, the larger the disconnect between the little guy and his supposed representative, and the easier it is for politicians to act without recourse. That's what happens when you have a country of 300 mill. people. History repeats it's self, power is corrupt.
My take personally, state succession is our only chance. We are getting too diverse and too massive to expect anything to get done within our government anymore. How can we expect politicians to agree and to get things done when they disagree on the most fundamental levels of what the governments job is?Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
Twitter and FB have been abuzz about a new tax people are just discovering, thanks to Obamacare .....
It's called the "Medical Excise Tax" and people are not happy.
This has been verified by snopes.com as being legit and not some register glitch.
Clothing falls under this definition so that's a national 2.3% tax whenever you have buy some clothing.

A lot of states like Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Kansas are, in a sense, setting themselves up for secession. It could absolutely happen.Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.

I worked a couple hours over and was still short of my normal pay. Taxes and health insurance increased. Very discouraging.

Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
the Ryan plan. Boner did get a landmark bill passed cutting the spending. It wasnt in the trillions like the Tea party wanted but in the billions, around $30B which had Pissy Reid pissing in his pants.
We can thank Boner for agreeing to the taxes and all the caving in he did but in fairness he didnt have much choice. The money was falling off the cliff or so they say and why it's call the fiscal cliff deal, so the great compromiser compromised and the DEMs are still pissed because they didn't get higher taxes. The GOP is liberal based now so they caved in on the taxes but at least they kept them down.
The link I posted above says DEMs wanted higher taxes and grand raven would be paying even more than he is now and gonna be paying. Newt's gang would have fought it and don't forget, these are Ws tax cuts that they agreed to stop.
Oh, and this from his web site:
Romney would eliminate Obamacare, a maneuver which was estimated by the CBO to save $1.2 trillion over
ten years,[12] helping to offset some of the tax increases that were used to fund Obamacare.

Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
Guys, Clinton never balanced the budget. What he did was get lucky enough to have the DotCom boom fall into his lap and create an unsustainable growth spurt. The balanced budget myth comes from PROJECTED numbers two decades after Clinton would've left office. That tells us two things: Clinton never had a balanced budget, and our economy is so screwed it'll take at least 20 years of unprecedented growth to fix the damned thing.
As for succession, I am all for it. Give me everything from from Texas east, and Maryland south and we'll create a great country founded on the real ideals of the American Constitution.
P.S. It's not that I want you bunch of yankees in my country, but my favorite football team is up there so y'all can just hitch along for the ride."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, Hi Im Ben may I have a drink please?
Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
Well darb, Charlie Daniels would agree with you. He said the South is gonna do it again-lol.
Fact Checks does not agree with you but they do mention the dot com boom. Clinton's 1994 plan even had some
spending restraints to it thanks to Dick Morris.

Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
I wish Newt was the GOP nominee, If he campaigned correctly about beign the last person to balance the budget, I think that is something "middle America" could have gotten behind. I think he could have certainly won. Now, I dont' think for a second he could balance the budget in 4 years, but perhaps he could have accomplished enough in 4 years to get 4 more, and 8 continuous years of trending towards a balanced budget could have changed government spending for decades.
Re: 77% of us will have higher taxes
Great post and Newt was the best debater of them all. He destroyed the MC in one debate.
That said he wouldn't have done any better getting the Spanish vote than Mitt who lost to OBY by just 1% after
McCain lost to him by a land slide.
Would have loved to see Newt in the White HOuse. Conservatives are dead even though Rush says we're not out-numbered.
I disagree. If the GOP wins the next one it will be with more liberals like Jeb Bush or Rubio who will get the Spanish vote.

With the total cost of acquiring new customers many times higher than servicing existing clients it's no surprise that retaining business is at the heart of many organisations CRM strategy, especially in tougher economic conditions.
CRM applications offer numerous service functions but how can they be used to help you hang on to your best customers and protect future revenues?
In this post we've listed 20 quick tips for using CRM applications to create a better understanding of each customer relationship and target the right people, with the right message at the right time.
Proactively staying in touch
1. Schedule simple reminder activities that prompt you, and other CRM users, to proactively follow up with your customers.
2. Search your CRM database to identify customers where contact has been lost using 'date of last contact' or similar time format fields. Or, automate the process by creating a CRM workflow that alerts you if an account is neglected, to re-engage people and retain them as an active customer.
3. Track expiry dates, membership information and other time critical detail in your CRM database and schedule activities around these dates to send timely communications that will boost renewal rates.
Understanding your customers
4. Customise your CRM database to track all the relevant demographics and background detail about each relationship in a single shared database to quickly respond to customer requests however people choose to contact you.
5. Profile customer records that will help CRM users clearly see the value of each account. For example, create a drop down list that grades the account profitability, or use a tick box if a client is a reference site.
6. Segment active and high value customers using CRM groups or lists to keep these accounts visible and send them relevant communications.
7. Connecting your CRM system with your accounting database creates several benefits. As well as improving order processing and eliminating double entry it enables customer facing staff to easily check the order history on each account to anticipate their future requirements and make recommendations for cross sell opportunities that will increase account revenue.
Delivering Outstanding Service
8. Share CRM with all customer facing teams wherever people work via mobile, web browser or desktop client so everyone can use complete and accurate detail to deliver a personalised service that other providers will find hard to match.
9. Use case management tools, including case queuing and routing, to log customer issues for clear visibility of outstanding items to ensure issues are promptly resolved.
10. Apply advanced case management functions including workflows that automatically send customers email notifications when cases are opened, updated and closed on their account to keep them fully updated with progress.
11. Publish online web portals that enable customers to log-in and create new service requests outside regular office hours and check the status on existing cases.
12. Use CRM to enforce service level agreements that prioritise customer issues and trigger alerts if terms are at risk of being breached to ensure your most valuable customers receive a premium service.
13. Develop CRM call scripts that guide users through routine customer processes, ensure service consistency and shorten training time. For example, create scripts for new team members that help them qualify support requests or sales opportunities by prompting them to ask questions, guide customers and take action in line with your process rules.
Communicating with your customers
14. Integrate CRM with an email marketing application to share news, insight, tips and special offers with your best customers. Use campaign reports to assess individual responses through email opens and click analysis to assess interest and make increasingly targeted communications.
15. Include dynamic content in your email marketing messages that reflects a customer's order history, their preferences, demographics or other detail to make sure your message resonates. For example this could include publishing details of the nearest outlet to a client's location or promoting holiday deals based on their previous bookings to predict their current interest.
16. Invite your top customers to an event and use CRM to plan and manage each event task including automated processes for invitation reminders, post-event follow-ups and handling the resulting leads.
17. Track your customer's social media channels like Twitter and LinkedIn or blogs to keep up to date with their activity and make new interactions from CRM that will develop brand loyalty.
Assessing your customer service performance
18. Ask for customer feedback about your service and capture these scores in CRM. For example, include a link to a short survey form in an automated email when a support ticket is closed or when an order is dispatched. Use feedback reports, email alerts and reports to assess performance and take corrective action if problems occur.
19. Use CRM dashboards to continually review service delivery and identify areas for improvement. For example, use real-time metrics to identify recurring support or service problems, or assess what % of issues are being resolved in a single call. Trends can be assessed across other service areas including what time issues are being logged and the method used so resources can be effectively allocated.
20. Use insight from CRM reports to develop staff incentive schemes that reward users for outstanding performance in key metrics, for example, cases closed per week / month or highest scoring customer feedback per month..
To find out more about any of these points and how CRM applications can be used to help you strengthen customer loyalty in your business please contact us.
Please share any other ideas and experiences you have about how CRM applications can be used to retain customers, members, donors, subscribers and other contacts.

Willamette Student Group Presents The Vagina Monologues
Willamette University's Strength, Health, Equality (SHE) Club presents two performances of The Vagina Monologues Feb. 14 for V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls.
This Obie Award-winning play by Eve Ensler -- based on interviews with 200 women about their views on sex, relationships and violence against women -- will be performed at 7:30 and 10 p.m. in Smith Auditorium at Willamette University, 900 State St. Tickets are $10, or $5 for Willamette students, and are available starting Feb. 7 at the Putnam University Center information desk. Proceeds will go to a local organization dedicated to ending violence against women and children.
Other activities for V-Day at Willamette include information tables in Putnam University Center Feb. 7 to 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a red shirt campaign Feb. 14 that asks everyone on campus who has been affected or knows someone who has been affected by sexual or domestic violence to wear red. A silent art auction with a theme of "What Is a Woman?" will be held in Smith Auditorium Feb. 14 from 7 p.m. to midnight, along with the play performances.
V-Day raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of The Vagina Monologues. In 2006, more than 2,700 V-Day events were held in 1,150 communities and colleges worldwide. To date, V-Day has raised more than $35 million to aid efforts to end violence against women. The V-Day College Campaign strives to empower women to find their collective voices and demand an end to the epidemic levels of violence and abuse on their campuses, in their communities and around the world.

Romney: It's the same time frame the president is speaking of with regards to the transition of the afghan forces, I also indicated that I want to make sure that we have had consultation with the commanders on the ground. The place where the president and I have had a difference with regards to time table is with withdrawal of our surge troops. Commanders were looking at December 2012 withdrawal point the president moves that up to September 2012 which is still during fighting season I sided with the commanders and felt the 2012 decision, the September 2012 decision was premature.
Muir: 2012
Romney: We're talking about the search troops.
Muir: Ok, wanted to confirm for the audience. If those commanders on the ground in Afghanistan tell you that we need US troops to stay longer would you keep them there beyond that 2014?
Romney: I don't want to go into hypothetical's but we recognize the circumstances may change on the ground either for the better or for the worse. I don't think you set hard and fast deadlines without recognizing that there is the potential for conditions to change.
Muir: You are open to it depending on what the commanders might tell you?
Romney: I will consider the council if I'm president I would consider the input of the commanders on the ground as an important element in the plans for our military.
Muir: You are here on what some have termed your world audition and democrats, not surprisingly, continue to hammer you back home on taxes, you remain firm two years and two years only. So from what you have released and from what we have seen we know that there was one year when you paid about 13.9% tax rate. Can we clear this up by asking a simple yes or no question? Was there ever any year when you paid lower than 13.9%?
Romney: I haven't calculated that. I'm happy to go back and look but my view is I've paid all the taxes required by law. From time to time I've been audited as happens I think to other citizens as well and the accounting firm which prepares y taxes has done a very thorough and complete job pay taxes as legally due. I don't pay more than are legally due and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires.
Muir: You said you would go back and look, would you look for us?
Romney: I haven't looked at the tax rate paid year by year. I know that I pay a very substantial amount of taxes and every year since the beginning of my career so far as I can recall.
Muir: Let's talk about London for a moment, we saw the photo ops with you and Ann at the Olympics, it must have been amazing to return to the Olympics as you often do. On your barrage of negative headlines there in London I wanted to read you something that Karl Rove said, he said: "you have to shake your head, it was a great opportunity instead he got stuck making comments the Brits took as an insult". I'm curious, did you know when you sent that that the British people might be a little offended given how excited they were about their own games?

Dear style & substance readers:
We have decided to mix things up a bit this week – we are going to create a mash-up. A mash-up, in this case, is a combination of different questions we have received about slightly different topics that share a common theme: Personal Style. The answers to What is it?, How do I get it?, and Why do I need it? can all be discovered with a bit of life coaching and a small leap of faith (in yourself).
"Style helps distinguish you. It's a great potential opportunity that people tend to leave by the wayside."
First Lady Michelle Obama recently shared these thoughts with Kate Betts in an interview published in Harper's Bazaar. You do not need to be the First Lady of the United States of America to distinguish yourself – personal style is about taking your life seriously and sharing with the world that what you do is important. You are doing great things, and if you aren't, it is never too late to get moving. Great style is showing up ready to take care of business.
Personal style is about expressing your intelligence as well as your sense of fun. Style is not frivolous, it is an expression of all you are and all you want to become – your best self. Our culture has become very casual even in the workplace. We often see people in all professions looking wrinkled and ill kempt. Money does not equal style. Clothing that is clean and pressed and fits well does not need to cost a fortune. Style is being mindful and careful about appearance. Style breeds confidence; in yourself and how others view you.
Developing a signature look may take some time and effort. First, think about your favorite color palette. For most people this is instinctual and natural. Next, make the decision to dress your body in the here and now, not the body you plan on having when you lose 10 pounds. This leap of faith takes commitment and emotional stamina – you are taking care of you and that might take some adjusting. Once you have made that commitment, look around at the people you know as well as magazines and develop an idea guide – keep pictures of clothes, colors, shoes, etc. In Style offers many ideas to help get you started on your look, and it is on the shelf at Plattsburgh Public Library!
