Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Come back Obama to LA we love you and will match whatever the GOP are able to raise....We love you
You know, it sort of makes me sick. Sure, this is private money. Sure, these limousine liberals should feel free to give Obama as much money as they want. But Obama has been a horrible president. Still, he fills rooms time and again. Figures he'd start in California.
I just find it sad. The day the American people stop asking for results is the day democracy dies. I am convinced that the president could preside over 30% unemployment, 20% inflation, widespread starvation, violence, and poverty, and he could still waltz into these California dinners and rake in millions of dollars. What is with these people?
Moreover, how many meals could $1 Billion provide people with? How many poor people could find a home with that money? How many schools could get new textbooks? How many teachers could you hire with that money? Way more than you will help produce if you're re-elected. Way more than any president can provide with, "Just words, just speeches"
Yes, Mr. President, you may claim that old people will starve and youths will die if you're not re-elected. People also claimed that the sea levels would fall and the crippled would get up and walk-again if you got elected. I don't believe any of it. Those old people would still have meals without you. Those crippled will be no better off with you. All your $1B will do is brainwash a few ignorant voters into believing these lies. But in terms of what good it will do... none.
@Travis, better yet, since these Hollywood liberals love to "spend" everyone else's tax dollars citing that certain "rich" people don't pay enough, they should just shut their mouths and donate more of their own riches to the Federal government. These liberals are such hypocrites, it's amazing. They make tens of millions of dollars a year, then turn around and say someone making $250,000 is too rich and needs to pay their fair share.
Another thing...
Don't we have enough issues to fix in this country? Every other day, Obama is out schmoozing some party up, vacationing in Hawaii or he's campaigning. How much vacation time does this guy get, because he's paid by the American taxpayer to actually GOVERN THE COUNTRY.
Less than 19 months left for the Obama debacle.
A good reason to never buy a movie ticket again.
I certainly don't buy Springsteen music anymore.
Useful Idiots
Obama has so much success to campaign on:
- Unemployment: still high
- Wars: prolonged and added a new one in Libya
- Inflation: rising
- Nation debt: doubled
- International prestige: lower than ever
There isn't enough money to get him elected a seocnd time.
What is it that America doesn't understand about the words "debt crisis." Re-elect this liberal "raise taxes, keep broke entitlements as is, let inflation rob the middle class" president and we will fall further as a nation. But just a second, you liberals say, he is going to cut 4 trillion from the deficit in 12 years. Another way to look at that is to say "at our current 1.5 trillion DEFICIT, he is only planning to add 14 trillion to the DEBT in 12 years." What does that even matter, liberals ask? Don't worry the markets will handle this ignorant inaction for us as they have already begun to, with the rapidly depreciating dollar and thriving inflation.
Down with Hollywood
This week, 45 Americans were killed in terrible storms that ravaged the Carolinas. A billion in property damage. Also, two first responders were killed battling the wildfires in Texas. Where's Obama? Smoozing with Spielberg and spitting in Paul Ryan's face. It's disgraceful.
Hey! Heelloo! Heeyaa! Oh, Helleeo!
Remember me? You made a movie about me. It's called "The Heartbreak Kid". Member? Huh?
Ah, the Hollywood President is back in Hollywood to make another movie. I'm not a real president but I play one very well. So, the next movie will be called the Obama Wing, it does have a better ring than the West Wing.
After two years of Obama (and Pelosi)...Here's your change! But No Hope

It is unbelievable how quickly people forget who put us in this terrible financial situation in the first place. Maybe Obama has made some mistakes along the way, but he is coming in as the clean-up crew and anyone in his position would be having a tough time getting through it.
As for the campaign spending, I agree, it is absolutely appalling how much candidates spend on elections- but Obama is not alone. $5.3 billion was spent by all of the candidates in the 2008 election. Obama spent more than his white opponent because he needed to overcome racial biases and the where-is-your-birth-certificate morons.The real issue is not "Obama is spending too much on his campaign." The issue is that our election system is flawed- no one should be allowed to spend this much on campaigns, period.
Republicans always use these small, meaningless stories to put the Democrats in a bad light. Keep watching Fox News...
It's time the younger generations of this country pull their heads out and realized that government is robbing us blind. To bad so many are so ignorant. Baby boomers will be long gone when its time for payback on the ever increasing debt. 14 billion billions and still only TALK to "reduce the deficit." No one even mutters a word about getting to the point of reducing the DEBT. Interest on our debt is billions handed to liberal's communist friends in China. Don't plan on living nearly as well as your parents because you will be paying their government credit card bills one way or another. Dreamy free spending debt world is ending and reality is quickly approaching.
Hey liberal guest, I thought Obama was supposed to fix all these problems he inherited. What has he done in 2 years now? Rip G.W for Guantanamo. Is Guantanamo closed? Nope- campaign b.s. Is unemployment down? Nope Is our deficit down? Nope. Are illegals finally being made to go through immigration? Nope. Are the wars ended as promised? Nope. Liberals, please explain to me what Obama has done to strengthen America?
wRONG AGAIN!!!
President Obama has been a failure domestically and internationally. It is time for rational people of all political persuasions to ask themselves... are you better off? Is a larger government what you want?
If it is, vote for him in 12. If not, look at the options and elect a new President in 2012.
Is that why gold just hit $1,500 an ounce? Interesting, the markets are loosing faith in paper currency.
what Obama has done to strengthen America?
Not be Bush.
Courting compromise and playing to independents can only take the president so far. An enthused base is vital if he wants a second term. He must continue to make a strong stand against the extreme Republican agenda as laid out by the House GOP and Paul Ryan. This is a winning issue. Even 70 percent of self-identified Tea Party supporters do not support cuts to Medicare.
Do you really want Hollywood ('s influence) running the country?
More and more, when visiting various blogs and sites, I'm putting my hand palm forward toward the monitor and mentally pushing back from getting all hot and bothered about current politics.
A billion or a trillion in Obama's coffers, it matters little. What DOES matter is what the voters say in November 2012. So, beyond punditry and polls, there stands the hard reality of the electoral process--the voice of the people--call it what you will.
He must return to his home union the actors guild to beg for money. Much easier when the Fraud in Chief is such a world actor
makes perfect sense ... people for whom "make believe" is their daily life, gravitate toward a vacuous, rudderless president who is just as disconnected from the reality of the modern economy and world.
Even 70 percent of self-identified Tea Party supporters do not support cuts to Medicare.
Conclusion: 70% of Tea Partiers are on Medicare.
The Hollywood elite class...are going to decline as a economical force for failed politicians as Obama at the same rate that all United States. It will be too late for them to regret it.
To hear Obama talk, you would think rich people (aka Hollywood folks) are his enemies. Guess not!
Do any of these millionaires and billionaires care about what a disaster Obama's been for the country?
A sitting President with 1 1/2 years still left in his term already out on a campaign trip and begging for money , that is absolutely disgusting.
He promised change in your country , well , you should demand to no longer allow these obscene amounts of money to be raised for political purposes , money corrupts.
Pathetic. I am appauled about what this man is doing to the USA's reputation. Fund raising in Holywood...MY God! Desperate people do desperate things.
His days are numbered..and cannot be too soon for me, and the rest of the country. We need to get healthy again. I hope these Hollywood people are smart enough not to give money to him....because they just lost it.
The Hollywood elite don't identify with ordinary Americans, anymore than Obama does. Its only natural for him to see more donations from them. In the insulated world of Tinseltown, Obama's ruinous policies don't penetrate.
Are these "stars" living in a parallel universe? Tom Hanks, well...he WAS one of my favorite actors. From what I understand, his wife Rita Wilson is the driving force of their combined liberalism.
Do these people understand that their multi-millions and wealthy lifestyle is the result of CAPITALISM and this flim-flam man in the WH is a MARXIST who hates CAPITALISM.
I and many others feel very UNLUCKY having this *#*@ in the WH.
A strong message could be sent to Hollywood if we just boycotted their freakin' movies except for those who do NOT support this con man. (Jon Voight, Robert Davi, Stallone, Bruce Willis, etc.)
"None of you asked for my birth certificate," Mr. Obama said, drawing laughter.
He thinks this is a joke? I'm not laughing. He's pulled off the biggest scam in the history of the United States.
The President was "spot on" with his comments in Los Angeles. He has reduced taxes for 100% of Americans, kicked off new clean industries that are creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. He believes in a quality education for all Americans as did Jefferson.
He is the most complete President and Statesman the United States has seen in a long, long time. Casting doubt on his Presidency or his place of birth is a thin vail of lies spread by the few to undermine real hard working Americans. President Obama is America and we all are President Obama.
Hey AJ @3:01...Man I hope you were just joking. If not, holy crap are you a lost cause.

Happy New Year, everyone! Gosh, it has been a while, hasn't it? I know that, to some of you, it appears as if I suddenly "disappeared" out of nowhere. But in reality, I was never fully gone.
I am not one to cook with tofu that much. Even though we buy the organic and non-GMO kind, it is still a processed food so we try to keep it to a bare minimum. However, when I do decide to include some tofu in our diet, it must be absolutely packed with flavor.
In sync with Barbara's renowned love for food and all things vegan, I am finding myself looking more and more towards just buying and eating unprocessed foods.
I am not going to lie, it's been a tough couple of weeks. My husband and I have been trying to re-adjust back to life—back to our normal routine—but no matter how much we try, we never seem to get back there…
Welcome to The Housewife Wannabe
No front page content has been created yet.
The other day I found myself looking at the past, thinking about how much everything has changed…how much I've changed. A big part of it, I believe, is obviously due to maturity. As you get older and mature, you start to realize that what you once thought of as important really wasn't, and what you once gave little value to is actually what truly matters.
Last week I had the honor of attending a dinner with my Guerlain team here in Guatemala and Eduardo Jimenez, one of Guerlain's International Makeup Artists who was in town for a few days. As usual, we had a great time talking about the brand we all love, its legacy and the new men's fragrance, L'Homme Ideal—which, I have to tell you, is absolutely amazing! It's totally different from anything in the market, and truly is he ideal fragrance for every man. (My husband says it's the best he has ever owned. And I agree.)

I was so worried about the cats' health that I haven't remembered to update. Jelly and B.A. are both doing quite well. Jelly's asthma attacks have not returned since that terrifying night at the end of May. She's on prednisolone once every other day to prevent symptoms and it's been working great. We have an albuterol inhaler and an Aerokat on hand in case either of our wee beasties have rapid breathing or the onset of an asthma attack.
Jelly is in the hospital on oxygen therapy after a very severe asthma attack that left her gasping for air and near the edge of death last night. She's going to be on my mind all day.

Enjoy a wonderful vacation to explore Germany's most popular area: Bavaria. Start in Munich, where guided sightseeing features the Olympic Stadium and lively Marienplatz, then continue to Regensburg. Here, interesting visits have been included to the Document Snuff Factory and Thurn und Taxis Palace, a former Benedictine Monastery turned into the residence of the Princes of Thurn und Taxis. Taste a "medieval hot dog" at the Historic Sausage Kitchen. Continue to Nuremberg to explore the Old Town, and enjoy an included excursion to picturesque Bamberg, where you can try "smoked beer," and Bayreuth, the city of festival fame. Via medieval Rothenburg with its ramparts and towers, famous for its Christmas ornaments, and Stuttgart, with a visit to the Mercedes-Benz Museum, arrive in the Black Forest for an overnight. Next is Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance to visit the fascinating Zeppelin Museum. Stay two nights in the Passion Play village of Oberammergau, with an included excursion to King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle, inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. Also visit the Museum of the Bavarian Kings and enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride. Return to Munich, where a farewell dinner at one of Munich's lively restaurants awaits you.

Time to rest or to start exploring the lively Bavarian capital. At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a welcome dinner with wine at your hotel. (Dinner)
Sightseeing with a Local Guide of Germany's "Secret Capital" features the Olympic Stadium, built for the 1972 Olympics; the 1,000-foot-high Television Tower; Königsplatz, used for Nazi rallies during World War II; and the column with the eternal flame, dedicated to the Holocaust victims. Drive along the Ludwigstrasse, and see the Bavarian Arch of Triumph and Field Marshall Hall. Also visit lively MARIENPLATZ with the Old and the New Town Halls and the gothic Frauenkirche. Arrive in Regensburg, where guided sightseeing features the Stone Bridge, the oldest preserved bridge of its kind in Germany; the Porta Pretoria, built in the 2nd century by Emperor Marcus Aurelius; and St. Peter's Cathedral. Afterwards, visit the DOCUMENT SNUFF FACTORY and hear about a former fashionable tradition: "tobacco-snuffing." (Breakfast)
Visit the THURN UND TAXIS PALACE, a former Benedictine monastery that was converted into the residence of the Princes of Thurn und Taxis in 1812. This family started the first large-scale postal service in Europe in the 15th century. You cannot leave Regensburg without tasting the local sausages, therefore, a light lunch has been included at the Historic Sausage Kitchen, where you can try a "medieval hot dog." Continue to Nuremberg, known for its children's toys and gingerbread. Admire the impressive medieval ramparts as you walk through the pedestrian area of the charming Old Town and see St. Sebald Church, painstakingly reconstructed as a monument to peace from the rubble of near-total wartime destruction. Also admire the Schöner Brunnen, a 14th-century fountain dedicated to the Holy Roman Empire. It is said that it brings good luck to spin the two brass rings. (Breakfast, Lunch)
Look forward to an exciting day. First, stop in picturesque Bamberg, the city with the largest historical center in Germany and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll on the cobblestone streets, and admire the architecture of the houses. Then, enjoy a "smoked beer," a type of beer with a distinctive smoke flavor imparted by using malted barley dried over an open flame. Continue to Bayreuth for an orientation of this city of festival fame. Richard Wagner came to Bayreuth in 1871 and was not satisfied with the existing 18th-century theater, the Markgräfliches Opernhaus, so he had a new one built. Today, the Festival Hall is used exclusively for the Bayreuth Festival, and only works by Wagner are performed there. Return to Nuremberg. (Breakfast)
A short drive delivers you to medieval Rothenburg with its ramparts and towers, cobblestone lanes, and 16th-century houses. Hear how the town survived the Thirty Years' War, and shop for the town's Christmas ornaments. On to Stuttgart for an exciting visit to the MERCEDES-BENZ MUSEUM. Then, enter the Black Forest for your overnight stay. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Enjoy the scenic drive to Lake Constance, where a fascinating visit to the ZEPPELIN MUSEUM has been included to learn about the Zeppelin airships that crossed the Ocean in the 1930s, like the famous Hindenburg. Continue to the Passion Play village of Oberammergau, where you will stay for the next two nights. (Breakfast)
The highlight today is a visit to King Ludwig's magnificent NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE, one of Germany's most famous castles and inspiration for Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle at his theme park. Follow your Local Guide through this fairytale castle on its craggy outcrop high above a sparkling lake. Also visit the MUSEUM OF THE BAVARIAN KINGS and enjoy a HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDE. (Breakfast, Dinner)
A leisurely morning with the possibility to join an optional excursion to visit King Ludwig's Linderhof Castle before returning to Munich. The afternoon is at leisure in Munich. You can return to Marienplatz and explore its many enticing shops. This evening, a special farewell dinner has been prepared at one of Munich's lively restaurants to say, "Auf Wiedersehen!" (Breakfast, Dinner)
Your tour ends with breakfast this morning.
Motorcoach; horse-drawn carriage. Free Wi-Fi available on your motorcoach and in most hotel lobbies.

One of the things about our 2010 product line that has embarassed me from the beginning is that there's no way to use our code metrics tools to produce data from an automated build. Our tools only work in the VS IDE and on the loaded solution. No longer! We just released a Power Tool that enables you to run code metrics from the command line and therefore to integrate it into your build process. I wish I could say the data was put in the warehouse and was really easy to generate report from, but I can't. The data is emitted as an XML file and, for now, you are on your own to turn that into a report/visualization. But, at least now, the scenario is enabled and we will build on top of this in the future to make the reporting more automatic. You can read more about it here:

Super Bowl XLIX will be held in Arizona on Sunday Feb 1rst at the University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale Arizona.

Super Bowl History
The Super Bowl is the championship game played between the conference champions from the NFC and the AFC. This is the most important and last game of the NFL season. It was first playing in 1967 following the end of the 1966 season for the NFL and the AFL, with the Green Bay Packers winning 35-10 over the Kansas City Chiefs. The two leagues had already decided to merge and this game was a way to both make the transition a little easier and a way to determine just who the best professional football team actually was, something fans had been asking for since the AFL started in 1960.
In the years since, Super Bowl tickets have become incredibly popular and the game has become a full-fledged cultural event, with fans watching at home for the funniest new commercials and first big trailers for upcoming summer blockbusters and fans lucky enough to attend enjoying a major music figure play a short set during half time.
The game has no true home. It was first played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and has been held in stadiums across the nation ever since. The one consistent element has been that the Super Bowl is played, almost exclusively, in a warm weather part of the country. The Super Bowl follows the NFL regular season, so it is typically played in late January or early February. This makes for chillier and chillier weather the farther north one goes, so, unless a major metropolis like New York is building a new dome stadium, count on the Super Bowl being held in a place without the potential for frost bite. If anything, this makes Super Bowl tickets even more enticing.
The most successful teams during the Super Bowl era have been the Pittsburgh Steelers (thanks to an impressive run in the 1970s and the 21st century), the Dallas Cowboys (who dominated in the 1970s and first half of the 1990s), San Francisco 49ers (all about the 1980s), Green Bay Packers, and New York Giants. Fourteen teams still have yet to win a Super Bowl and four have yet to play in the event.
Finding the right seats at the right price to the event you want can at times be overwhelming. Customers want to make sure that they're getting a good deal on the tickets they're purchasing. Here at Online Seats we do our very best to offer the best seats available at the most competetive price. We've been doing this for over 25 years now and we have helped thousands and thousands of customers get great seats at a great price.

Whatever it is you're looking for, you can be assured that we'll do our best to help you find the tickets you want. We have a staff of professionals that have been servicing the ticket needs of clients for many many years. If you don't find what you're looking for on our website, give us a call and one of our professional staff members will do whatever it takes to help you find what you're looking for. We wouldn't still be in business for over 25 years if not for the pride we take in providing quality and friendly customer service. OnlineSeats.com is your trusted and reliable ticket broker.

In the mid-'90s, girl groups ruled — from Destiny's Child to TLC to the Spice Girls. And nearly 20 years later, the ladies are set to reign over music again.
While we've seen this resurgence in boy bands, with the success of One Direction and The Wanted, it hasn't been until recent that girl groups have returned to the pop landscape. MTV News gets the girl groups and their mentors to spill on the new movement.
"Everything comes around in a circle, you know. Before we did One Direction, I remember thinking, you know, these bands are going to be big again," said Simon Cowell, who formed 1D in 2010 during "The X Factor" U.K. "Obviously, following that is going to be girl bands and then will be something else."
After taking first place in the U.K.'s "X Factor" back in 2011, Little Mix's rise to fame has been rapid. Not only did their first single "Cannonball" hit #1 across the pond, but their album DNA landed them at #4 in the U.S., breaking a sales-record set by the Spice Girls in 1997.
"It was amazing. I don't think any of us ever expected to ever get in the top five. And to beat the Spice Girls was even more incredible 'cause they are like our idols," Little Mix's Jesy Nelson said. "We looked up to them when we were younger. They've led the way for British girl groups to crack America, and it feels lovely that we've done it as well."
Following in their footsteps are the ladies of Fifth Harmony. Although the fivesome only placed third in the U.S. version of "The X Factor" last season, 5H seems to be showing more promise than any other alum. Their single "Miss Movin' On" peaked at #1 on iTunes and debuted at #85 on the Billboard Hot 100, making them the first act to chart from the U.S. show.
"We just had our one-year anniversary," Normani Hamilton said. "It's crazy to see how much we've done in such a short period of time."
But 2013 is not just about the up-and-comers. Girl group veterans Danity Kane announced their reunion at the 2013 VMAs. And although a lot of drama surrounded the "Making the Band" stars' breakup, the "Damaged" singers told MTV News they are ready to remake the band.
"You know we've just grown. We're more mature women," Aubrey O'Day replied when asked what brought DK back together. "This time we wanted to come back on our own free will and mostly the music, you know, we love making music. We're in the studio right now, actually with Stereotypes, who did 'Damaged.' And we have a new song that we love called 'Rage.' So we're really excited about that."
TLC also has new music on the way. The now duo lent their vocals for the hook of J.Cole's "Crooked Smile." Plus, they have an upcoming album featuring both new material and rereleases of some of their most beloved tracks.
"We wouldn't call it a 'Greatest Hits'; a lot of people are saying that for some reason," Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins said. "We rerecorded all of our old hits and we'll have some additional new — hopefully — hits and smashes too."
And while their Super Bowl reunion might be the only time we'll see Destiny's Child back in action, former groupmate Kelly Rowland fully supports the girl-group revival.
"You want to see girl groups," Rowland said. "I want to see girl groups come up and you want to see them, they're supposed to be better than the last generation and I want to see that happen."

Often described as "the silent killer" and usually associated with the elderly or post surgical population, Deep Vein Thrombosis ( DVT – aka "blood clots") and the associated more complicated problem, Pulmonary Embolus (PE – blood clots that have migrated to the lungs) are not unheard of in sports participants. In some regards, the combination of endurance activities, dehydration and travel may combine to greatly increase the occurrence of clots (and potentially in a lethal manner). As DVT and PE are not uncommonly misdiagnosed and treatment delayed, especially in the fit and active, awareness of clot risk and recognition of symptoms is the key to prevention when possible and reduction of short and long term side effects if DVT occurs.
By the end of this seminar, participants should understand:
- The physiology of clot formation and regulation
- Risk factors (Genetic and Acquired) that may increase clotting risk, including those specific to an athletic population
- Signs and symptoms of DVT and PE, and the importance of early recognition and treatment
- Principles of DVT prevention, especially as related to endurance sports
- Management of DVT and its late effects and complications
- Return to sports post DVT

I like that, too. I agree that it seems a bit contrived that the core group stayed together all those years in the same jobs
Not everyone would have needed to be aboard the ship the whole time, Chapel left to become a MD, and then came back. There is conjecture that Chekov left to attend a security school, then returned.
Rand disappeared during TOS itself, returning as a transporter tech, wasn't aboard the ship during TWoK, later she was aboard the Excelsior. Uhura could have been posted to another ship for years. Scotty was there for the year and a half rebuild, but the in-between time?
Both Spock and McCoy left Starfleet altogether. Spock return because of V'ger (and would have joined Decker's crew for the mission). McCoy was pulled back in by Kirk.
I think that originally Sulu was Decker's first officer, either that or Kirk sent that individual into the bowels of the ship, or left them on Earth. Either way someone there got screwed.
How many really stayed with the ship after TMP?
Kirk was off the ship again , and maybe McCoy with him. He (and McCoy?) were aboard for the inspection cruise.
Chekov left again at some point to become the first officer of the Reliant, he wasn't officially reassigned to the Enteprise until the end of TVH.
Sulu, from his own comments, wasn't a part of the Enterprise's regular company during TWoK, he was there temporarily. He rejoined the ship at the end of TVH, and for TFF. He then became Captain of the Excelsior.
Transporter Chief Kyle never returned to the Enterprise after TOS. We saw him briefly (iirc) aboard the Reliant, hopefully he wasn't killed.
Chapel left the ship (after TWoK?) to be next seen working at Starfleet HQ.
So, the core group
seem to have been continuously assigned to the ship.

A huge banner of a smiling Hugo Chavez covers the top of the military hospital where the ailing president is recuperating, but Venezuelans await for the man himself to finally appear in the flesh.
Presidential guards with red berets now control who goes through the gate, while Chavez reportedly rests in a ninth-floor room he has stayed in since he returned last Monday from 10 weeks of cancer treatment in Cuba.
In recent days, the government, which has tightly managed information about his health, put up tall banners along the street of the hospital displaying images of the leftist leader and the words "Chavez lives and smiles."
But outside the Dr. Carlos Arvelo Military Hospital, people wonder: Is Chavez really in there? How sick is he and when will he finally re-appear?
"Some say he's getting better, others say he's getting worse, others say he's still in Cuba or dead," said Jose Acosta, 24, who works at the J.Kelly bakery across from the hospital.
"There are so many rumors, you don't know what to think," Acosta said, echoing a sentiment repeated by a half-dozen people interviewed outside the hospital.
A man wearing white medical garb with the printed word "radiology" walked into the shop but refused to talk about Chavez or the hospital, saying "I don't know anything."
On a wall, there was the image of a smiling but bedridden Chavez flanked by his two daughters, one of the only four pictures that the government released of the once omnipresent leader on February 15, when he was still in Cuba.
At the hospital's main entrance, a presidential guard officer refused to let an AFP reporter go through, saying the communications ministry decides if journalists can visit.
The mystery surrounding the president's health has cast doubt over the political future of a nation sitting on top of the world's biggest oil reserve.
In power for 14 years, Chavez was re-elected to a six-year term in October after declaring himself cancer-free.
But he abruptly returned to Cuba for a fourth round of surgery in December and named Vice President Nicolas Maduro his political heir.
His January 10 inauguration was postponed indefinitely, prompting the opposition to cry foul. Elections must be called within 30 days if the president is incapacitated, and the opposition met Sunday to prepare to name a unity candidate.
The government's last medical report on Thursday was gloomy, stating that Chavez still suffers from a respiratory problem he developed after his December 11 surgery and that the trend was not favorable.
Chavez announced his return on Twitter and has released letters, but the booming voice that captivates loyal followers and infuriates his foes has remained silent. He is breathing through a tube, hindering his speech.
Maduro, whose appearances have multiplied on state-run media, insists that Chavez remains in charge and even held a five-hour meeting with officials on Friday, communicating with them in writing and giving instructions.
But an opposition leader, National Assembly deputy Julio Borges, said Maduro was "lying."
"The same night, patients and relatives of patients who were in the military hospital gave us information that Nicolas Maduro arrived just one hour before his remarks," he said.
A former defense minister said last week that a floor of the hospital that was once used for high-ranking military officer was modified a year and a half ago to become "an exclusively presidential area."
Maria Mileno, 32, who sells traditional Venezuelan corn cakes called arepas from a street stand in front of the gates, said hospital workers who buy her food are divided over whether Chavez is there.
"We don't know if he's really in there," she said. A friend who works in radiology told her that a colleague took a chest X-ray of Chavez.
"As long as you don't see something, you can't confirm it," Mileno said, adding that there was slightly more security the last time Chavez was hospitalized there for chemotherapy in 2011, with snipers on rooftops.
While police were on street corners, there were no visible sharpshooters.
Mileno, like many lower-class Venezuelans, supports the ailing leader, who has become popular among the country's poor thanks to oil-funded social programs.
"Chavez is a leader who has earned the love of the people," she said. "He always thinks about the people."
Down the street, restaurant manager John Ochoa, 30, also said he has "to see to believe" but that life goes on despite the president's absence.
"Everything is stable," the Colombian immigrant said. "People work everyday, everything works normally."

Re: Mass Effect 3
It's almost emblematic of what was fundamentally wrong with the whole game. All the way through what is otherwise a world class narrative are these very very strange creative decisions that leaves one with an odd sense of cognitive dissonance. It's as if some other developer came in afterwards and (metaphorically) doodled little moustaches on the characters faces in a deliberate attempt to sabotage.
At first I just assumed that most if not all of this was down to a lack of time and things being left in an unfinished state. But the more I think about it, the more I find these things that just didn't need to be there at all. Allers, photoshop Tali, half the turret sections...Jacob's mission.
[Rant Incoming!]
I mean come on, Jacob gets hos own mission? Nobody liked that guy! Not only did he somehow manage to be even more boring than Kaiden was in ME1, his loyalty mission was the very definition of pointless.
"Hey Shepard, my dad who has been dead to me for years may still be alive, let's go see him!" "Hey dad, you're an awful person and are still dead to me!"
I wouldn't have minded him in ME3 so much but five seconds into the mission he sprains his ankle and spends the rest of the time sitting around and shouting at you through the radio. Hell it's even worse if you're one if the 0.001% of players that actually bothered to romance him, since he dumps Shepard about five seconds before he introduces her to his new *pregnant* fiancée. Ouch. Dick move bro!
Yeah, so the time and resources spent on that mission which had no interesting characters and had no impact of the larger story (being yet another Cerberus only fight!) could so easily have been spent elsewhere.
That actually makes me wonder; has anyone done a tally on how often you fight Cerberus vs. how often you fight Reapers? It felt something like a 60/40 split where really it should have been the other way around.

Eucalyptus globulus
GC/IR Verified
Eucalyptus oil remains a favorite among aromatherapists and casual users alike, based on its strong, woody and medicinal aroma. Popular in many vapor rubs, it emits an essence of cleanliness when diffused for aromatherapy. NOW Eucalyptus Oil is 100% steam distilled.
In the 19th century, eucalyptus trees were called "fever trees," because they destroyed the breeding ground of the malaria mosquito. The tree grows fast, and uses up large amounts of water, thus large amounts of the trees can turn swamp into usable land - and also rid the area of mosquitos in the process.
Centuries ago, the eucalyptus tree was thought to cleanse the environment, so the frail and sickly would choose to live in areas where these fragrant trees grew, hoping for recovery from their ailments. While just living under the trees might not be the cure people hoped for, the tree does indeed offer healing. The Australian Aborigines applied crushed eucalyptus leaves to wounds to promote healing. They also used eucalyptus leaves to fight infection and relieve muscular pain. In India, eucalyptus is used to cool fever and fight contagious diseases. Even Western surgeons recognized the benefits of eucalyptus, and have used a eucalyptus solution to wash out operation cavities. Today, eucalyptus is used in many different types of pharmaceutical products, from vapor rubs to cold remedies. Even veterinarians and dentists use eucalyptus in their practices. Its sweet, menthol, woody scent coupled with its proven healing abilities makes it a favorite essential oil in aromatherapy.

The University Arms hotel makes a beautiful centrepiece in the heart of the historic city of Cambridge. The austere Victorian structure was founded as a post house in the early 1800s, but has undergone significant extensions over the years to become a landmark city centre hotel. The hotel itself has accommodated numerous high-profile guests over the years and it is easy to see why the University Arms is the arguably the premier hotel in Cambridge.
The hotel overlooks the famous Parker's Piece and has witnessed several important events, including Queen Victoria's grand coronation feast and the creation of modern day football under the Cambridge Rules (later adapted by the FA), both of which took place on the common.
** The University Arms Hotel is currently closed for an exciting and extensive refurbishment. **
The hotel is a well-loved four-star hotel, which has been sympathetically renovated and designed to retain the Victorian character of the building whilst providing contemporary comforts. 120 en suite rooms await guests, including two sumptuously presented suites of which the Regency Suite is undoubtedly the most luxurious choice, with a sleigh bed and chesterfield sofa. Many of the rooms offer great views over Parker's Piece. Dining at the hotel is provided by the chic Restaurant 17, which has skillfully brought traditional English dishes into the 21st century.
The hotel also has a selection of naturally lit meeting and conference rooms, and the Victorian building and grounds provide a striking location for a wedding ceremony or reception. The hotel has no leisure facilities of its own but guests receive discounted access to Greens Health and Fitness Club.
With a traditional charm and a convenient city centre location, the hotel is a popular and appealing accommodation choice. The hotel is ideally situated for visitors to Cambridge, and is close to University of Cambridge buildings, the River Cam, the Grafton Centre shopping mall and all of the city's major attractions.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Edward Jones/Times-News Prep Player of the Week
Published: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 22, 2008 at 11:43 p.m.
Entering Saturdays Hilltopper Classic wrestling tournament at R-S Central, West Henderson junior Brandon Harrison had 96 career victories.
Following three pins and a dominating tech fall win (21-3) in the championship match, Harrison reached career win No. 100, was named the tournaments Most Outstanding Wrestler and also earned this weeks Edward Jones/Times-News Prep Player of the Week award, presented by Ryan Harman of Edward Jones Investments in Hendersonville.
We really dont think about racking up wins or getting awards. What we focus on is getting ready for the state tournament. When we do that, getting wins and recognition comes with the territory, Falcon coach Jeff Smith said.
Harrison (20-1) is currently the top-ranked 2-A/1-A wrestler in the state in the 119-pound division. He ended up in fourth place at the 2-A/1-A state championships last year and was also a state qualifier his freshman year at East Henderson.
He works on improving year-round, and over the summer, he was rewarded again by winning the individual title in the greco division of the North Carolina USA Wrestling Tournament. He also placed second in freestyle.
Smith said Harrison continues to improve, gearing up for state championships, which will be held Feb. 20-21.
He did have a wrist injury last year, and most of this year, hes been nursing a sore shoulder. But we are finally coming out of the woods with that, and hes looking to stay healthy for the rest of the season, Smith said.
The Falcons ended up fourth at the tournament. Brock Cartee also took home an individual title at R-S Central in the 103-pound weight class. It was the freshmans first individual title of his varsity career.
The other candidate for the weekly award was another wrestler North Henderson four-year starter Andrew Campbell. Campbell, who weighs less than 150 pounds, wrestled up a weight class at 160 and pinned Tyler Russ of West Lincoln, a state placer from a year ago.
