Abbottabad district has been considered as a fort of Muslim League for decades. MNA from NA 17, Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan Abbasi has served as Chief Minister of NWFP.NA-17 Abbottabad Election Result 2002 Elections:In 2002, political atmosphere in NA 17 Abbottabad was very different after departure of PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif to Jeddah and arrest of many of the key political leaders of PML-N, including Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan. PML-Q, under the supervision of General Pervez Musharraf was in a stronger position and managed to win NA 17 Abbottabad Seat. Turn out in NA 17 remained 39.6 percent in 2002 elections. Complete result of NA 17 Abbottabad for 2002 Election is given below:Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon (PML-Q) 44716 VotesDr. Azhar Khan Jadoon (Independent) 30949 VotesAl-Haj Habib Ur Rehman Abbasi (JI) 21383 VotesAli Asghar Khan (Qaumi Jamhori Party) 4687 VotesSardar Ibrar Ahmad (PPP) 3646 VotesAsif Malik Advocate (Hazara Qaumi Mahaz) 3384 Votes NA 17 Abbottabad I Election Result 2008 Elections:In 2008 elections, Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan Abbasi of PML-N managed to win NA 17 seat with a huge margin. Jamat e Islami and PTI were in boycott in 2008 elections. Turn out in 2008 elections remained 42.8 percent. Complete result of NA 17 Abbottabad I election for 2008 elections is given below:Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan (PML-N) 58041 VotesDr Azhar Khan Jadoon (Independent) 36668 VotesAman Ullah Khan Jadoon (PML-Q) 34947 VotesProfessor Raja Aurangzeb Khan (MMA) 1465 VotesGhulam Mustafa Qureshi (MQM) 589 Votes NA 17 Abbottabad Party Position for 2013 Elections:PTI has emerged as a strong force in NA 17 Abbottabad and has become a serious threat for Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan. Dr Muhammad Azhar Khan Jadoon, who got over 36 thousand votes in 2008 elections and over 30 thousand votes in 2002 elections as independent candidate, has joined PTI and is a potential candidate for NA 17 on PTI ticket. Ali Asghar Khan, who is currently serving as Senior Vice President of PTI, also belongs to NA 17 and is also a potential candidate. For PTI, decision of ticket will be very significant and if PTI gives ticket to a stronger candidate, NA 17 seat can be won by PTI.PML-N popularity in Hazara division badly dropped due to renaming of NWFP to Khyber Pakhtunkhwah and anti-PML-N sentiments went to a peak in 2011 but now, it seems that wave of Soba Hazara have gone down and PML-N has managed to get public support again. Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan has a strong vote bank and it will be difficult for divided opposition to break the fort of Sardar Mehtab.Jamat e Islami is also a well known political force of NA 17 Abbottabad and role fo JI can't be overlooked. JI candidate Alhaj Habib Ur Rehman Abbasi got over 21 thousand votes in 2002 elections. He will be Jamat e Islami candidate from NA 17 in 2013 elections. Jamat-e-Islami will not be in a position to win NA 17 seat, but JI candidate Habib Ur Rehman Abbasi can greatly dent the vote bank of Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan in Abbasi belt which may be beneficial for other parties.Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon is expected candidate of PML-Q but he doesn't enjoy a good reputation. Aman Ullah Khan Jadoon's son, Ali Khan Jadoon joined PTI last year which makes the situation a bit funny and interesting. # Arif Hussain said 3 years, 4 months ago:Very interesting. # Farah said 3 years, 3 months ago:Here is a very interesting report in Daily Nai Baat about political situation of NA 17 Abbottabad for election 2013. # Farah said 3 years, 1 month ago:NA 17 Abbottabad Election Campaign is in full swing from all parties and a tough contest is expected between PML-N Candidate Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan, and PTI Candidate Dr Muhammad Azhar Jadoon.Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan had a huge rally at Sabzi Mandi Islamabad where people from many villages and towns of PK 45 Abbottabad gathered. PTI and JI leaders and workers claimed that It was a flop show of Sardar Mehtab and he gathered laborers from Sabzi Mandi Islamabad to fill the space.Dr Muhammad Azhar Jadoon is also very active in NA 17 and is arranging corner meetings and joining ceremonies in all regions including UC Palak which is home UC of Sardar Mehtab. Dr Muhammad Azhar Jadoon is accompanied by other PTI leaders like Abdur Rehman Abbasi who is candidate from PK 45, Sajjad Akbar Khan who is candidate from PK 46, Asif Zubari Shaikh Candidate from PK 44 and Raja Mubeen Ur Rehman Abbasi who was runner up in party's district president election and was ex-Organizer Hazara division. However, PTI elected organization of Abbottabad seems angry on tickets issue as they were demanding national assembly ticket for Ali Asghar Khan and PK 45 ticket for Nazir Ahmad Abbasi. Nazir Abbasi is expected to contest as independent candidate in which case, it may divide PTI's vote bank.Habib Ur Rehman Abbasi who is Jamat e Islami candidate from NA 17 is also quite active on the ground along with Saeed Ahmad Abbasi who is JI candidate from PK 45. # Viewing post 1 to 4 (4 total posts)

We decided not to include the "found footage" genre, cause almost everyone looks at the camera in this type of films (Cloverfield, for example). And also musical numbers, where it's very common that the actors look at the camera while singing.

The Antelope Valley is a vast patch of desert on the outskirts of Los Angeles County, and a segment of the few rugged individualists who live out there increasingly are finding themselves the targets of armed raids from local code enforcement agents, who've assembled into task forces called Nuisance Abatement Teams (NATs).
The plight of the Valley's desert dwellers made regional headlines when county officials ordered the destruction of Phonehenge: a towering, colorful castle constructed out of telephone poles by retired phone technician Kim Fahey. Fahey was imprisoned and charged with several misdemeanors.
But Fahey is just one of many who've been targeted by the NATs, which were assembled at the request of County Supervisor Mike Antonovich in 2006. LA Weekly reporter Mars Melnicoff wrote an in-depth article in which she exposed the county's tactic of badgering residents with minor, but costly, code violations until they face little choice but to vacate the land altogether.
"They're picking on the the people who are the most defenseless and have the least resources," says Melnicoff.
Reason.tv collaborated with Melnicoff to talk with some of the NAT's targets, such as retired veteran Joey Gallo, who might face homelessness if he's forced to leave his house, and local pastor Oscar Castaneda, who says he's already given up the fight and is in the process of moving off the land he and his wife have lived on for 22 years. And, while Antonovich declined an interview, we did catch up with him at a public meeting in order to ask the big question at the center of all this: Why the sudden enforcement of these codes against people living in the middle of the desert, who seemingly are affecting no one?

Frank is amazing to work with. Very flexible, accommodating, and great communication ahead of time. The car was clean when delivered and I couldn't have asked for better. Thank you, Frank

Well maintained, clean car - really impressed. Frank is great to work with, very upfront and prompt, and just a nice guy! I will highly recommend this vehicle and owner.

We rented Franks car for a month - it was a GREAT car, very quick but economical too. I would certainly rent this car again and Frank was a pleasure to deal with every step of the way.

Frank was friendly and accommodating in the choice of location for pick-up and drop-off. His Sonata drove like a dream.

I want to exalt here my satisfaction with the service the website provide and with Frank of course.
He makes everything easier and simple.
Bout the car, it was a very clean car, really comfortable and as a car enthusiast I can say is a amazing car to drive. The MPG is unbelievable, I did more than 10 hours driving with one full tank of gas, I have a picture proving the 50 MPG average! But the real average on the road at the end was 41, and we are talking about 274 Horsepower car!
So, rent IT if you are reading this, just take care with the milage limit, Is so good to drive that for sure you gonna explode the limit!
Rent IT, extremely good!

Frank was quite the gentleman and made our trip out to northern california seamless. We rented his sedan for nearly 9 days and it worked perfectly. I loved that his car got INCREDIBLE gas mileage (saved me a ton of money with fill-ups), he obviously took very good care of it, and even provided a car charger for non-iphones. The car is fantastic for long rides, as it handles like a cloud and the seats are very comfortable. If going down the long and winding Hwy 1 the mountains in Yosemite, it makes it much easier since it handles great.
Communication was great. Frank kindly met us at the airport outside our baggage claim (better than having to go to the rental counter at SFO), and returning the car was just as easy.
This was my first time using Turo (or something comparable) and I am very pleased. Glad to give my money to a 'small business' than a large corporation, and also glad to see such a good car-sharing site work very well.

A+ experience all around.

Frank once again goes above and beyond. A snowstorm in Chicago required me to change my reservation time not once, but twice -- once while in the air. Each time, Frank responded immediately and was very accommodating. At no point did he have to make as many adjustments to his own schedule as he did, but it was truly appreciated. It's safe to say you won't find a better person to rent from on Turo.

The Sonata was an excellent drive: fast, efficient, powerful, spacious and in mint condition. Frank was really, really helpful and communicative, especially with the pickup and dropoff at the airport. I would definitely take the car again - thanks Frank!

Great car, great owner. Highly recommend!
I booked Frank's Sonata as I was taking off on my flight into SFO from Seattle. Expecting to wait for a while at the airport, we were pleasantly surprised when Frank agreed to come get us ahead of schedule (Turo don't allow reservations sooner than 2-hours to pickup). We ended up riding with Frank to Menlo Park since it was in the direction that we were traveling and shared a interesting and fun conversation on the way there. Overall, loved the experience - thanks Frank!

I could give 6 stars if possible but 5 was the max. Frank responded to flight delays, odd times pick up etc. to name a few. He was great! I would definitely rent from him again. He is a great guy with a great car. Period.

Frank's Sonata was great to drive. He himself was very prompt in the communication. The fact that he allowed the pick-up and drop off time & location to be flexible made my first Turo experience that much better. Would definitely rent from him again.

I rented Frank's Sonata SE Turbo a few times. The car was always immaculate and drives like a charm. The seats are very comfortable and the trunk is definitely roomy. Frank is really friendly and laid back. He makes it easy to pick up and drop off the car.

I just rented Frank's 2011 Hyundai Sonata, the car was great! The car drove smooth with no issues. Frank was super easy to communicate with while scheduling a time to pick up or drop off the car. Would definitely rent again!
David L.
– November 12, 2013
Frank was fantastic. He not only brought the car to the airport for us, he also met us there for the drop-off. When our flight was delayed, Frank graciously rearranged our drop-off time so we didn't have to spend additional time at the airport. It was the single best car rental experience we've ever had. Thanks again!
Tony B.

Frank was great and went above and beyond in every way. Flexible, prompt and good communication. The car is fantastic. My fist experience with Turo was great. Thanks Frank!

Frank was very helpful. He picked me up and offered to take me home after my rental. Very clean car that was nice to drive.
Ryan D.

Frank is great - super nice and punctual. His car is still pretty much brand new - clean, comfortable, and has great MPG. I especially appreciate how flexible Frank was with the drop off and pick up points. Would definitely rent car from him again.

Also Frank and his car are great. I would recommend his car.

Second time renting from Frank and it couldn't have been easier. Picked me up from the airport with a clean car and a full tank of gas and dropped me off too. Thanks again.

Frank is an absolutely wonderful person to rent from. He picked me up from the airport and dropped me off as well. Very courteous, very prompt, and very polite and helpful. The car was a beauty - clean, immaculate and running very well! All in all, a great experience, and I'll happily rent from Frank next time. I'm also recommending him to all my friends.

The car was spotless and exactly as pictured. Frank was fantastic -- he went out of his way to make the trip easy for me. Both pick-up and drop-off were quick and painless. Thanks! This is the kind of easy trip that makes the service wonderful.

Ratings by individual health plans or by HealthGrades or by RateMDs.com or by Angie's List? (That's where I just found a roofing contractor!)
Michelle Andrews reflects on the dilemma consumers face in choosing a doctor and in trying to make sense of physician ratings. She wrote on the Kaiser Health News site.
And on the NPR Health Blog. Excerpt:
Health insurance plans tend to evaluate doctors more on cost than on quality. Right now, most consumers still don't have much incentive to pay attention to costs, because they're not paying much out of pocket for their care.
In fact, cost remains one of the least important factors consumers consider when choosing a physician, whether primary care or specialist, according to the study. Just under 30 percent of primary care physician shoppers considered cost; for specialists, the figure was even lower: a tad more than 12 percent.
My own doctor recently had me wait in the exam room a few minutes after my original blood pressure measurement was just a few points too high to check off as satisfactory. The nurse checked it again. It had gone down in a matter of minutes. My "white coat hypertension" at play again. They let me go. I was now officially "under control" in that care setting – making the ratings look better.
That's how shallow and superficial physician ratings can be.

I had the same moment with my endocrinologist a few weeks ago. My BP is perfect, unless someone in a white coat is taking it. Then it goes up. Of course, I interpreted their retesting (15 minutes later when it was back to normal) was an act of concern by the doctor.

Exploring Cusco
Allison's Adventures in the Andes of Peru
This evening is Brenda V.'s birthday celebration. We all head over to Marco's wife's restaurant, A Mi Manera, for a sumptuous dinner. I've eaten so much meat on this trip, and tonight is no exception! I order an alpaca steak and dig in. A local band comes in to play "Happy Birthday" to Brenda, and a chocolate cake is brought out for us all to enjoy. This is our last evening together. Bill, Beverly, and Brenda V. are flying to the Amazon tomorrow. Brenda D. and Diane are flying home. And I am taking the bus out to Puno and Lake Titicaca. We say goodbye to Marco (surreptitiously slipping him generous tips), who has become a good friend in these past days, and opened up Peru to us in a way that none of us expected.

Alright. Here's the deal. I have a friend who has never in his life had to take care of himself. He has a lot of health issues right now and really needs to improve his diet. He is living on his own for the first time in his life and he has asked me to help him learn to cook. I know how to cook, but as far as finding easy recipes that he can follow, I'm kind of at a loss. He has ADD and is being re-evaluated by his doctors before he can have another prescription- meaning that it is hard for him to stay focused on something for too long at a time. Which is why I need some easy recipes. He has a few vitamin deficiencies and has an adrenal insufficiency...I think that's what it's called. Because of some of the medicines he is on he is lacking in calcium, iron and Vitamin C. There is a medication he takes in the morning that he cannot take Vitamin C with, so he needs something high in Vitamin C to make in the evenings.
One suggestion from his doctor was a spaghetti sauce with brightly colored vegetables. Any recipes with that?

Now that HP (HPQ) has entered the smartphone market with its acquisition of Palm (PALM), what is Dell going to do? Dell (DELL) needs to find a dance partner. Research in Motion and Nokia are too large to be acquired by Dell. Apple already has its own smartphone offering. Motorola already uses the same Android operating system as Dell so acquiring Motorola for their operating system wouldn't make much sense. Dell's best move for the time being is to go it alone in the smartphone market.
There have been rumors that Dell is developing its own smartphone which will run on the Google Android operating system. This would be a nice foray into the market but to make serious money Dell needs to develop its own operating system. As Apple has shown, having your own operating system gives you access to an endless revenue stream via Apps stores. Palm has its own Apps store. Google will make the bulk of the money from Dell's new smartphone since Dell is using their operating system. Android apps has been very lucrative for Google. So, what move does make sense for Dell? Dell needs to develop their own operating system if they are serious about being a major player in the smartphone market.
Dell needs to acquire a handset maker. Buying Motorola only makes sense if Dell gets a sweetheart deal to acquire the firm. Motorola currently has an enterprise value over $12 billion. Dell would need Motorola's shares to decline significantly since they would be buying Motorola for its product development not for its operating system. Dell's strength has not been in product design so it would be hard to believe that Dell could develop a lightweight, sleek eye catching phone. Motorola has already developed popular phones such as the Motorola Droid.
None of these moves will happen overnight; Dell may have missed their opportunity for a quick entry into the smartphone market by not acquiring Palm.

Re: Sonny Liston - a cheeky statement lies herein.
Liston was a great, perhaps evena top ten heavyweight great, with skill, power and physical assets.
Bruno was a bodybuilder who dabbled somewhat successfully in the ranks of heavyweight boxers.

Re: Sonny Liston - a cheeky statement lies herein.
Is Bruno being sold a little short here? Here are two clips, one of Liston vs. Patterson, the other is Frank vs. Gerrie Coetzee.
Unfortunately there is not a wealth of footage of either fighter on youtube, but here we can compare basic assets.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Sonny has the better hook, no doubt about it. Bruno though, has the better right hand, at least to me.
Jabs? Liston's jab goes down in history as one of the best, but note the triple jab Bruno throws in the Coetzee fight. He too had an excellent jab. Is Sonny's really so much better, if at all?
Bruno also appears to be the faster fighter.
Let's look at Liston's record for a second.
He is often given a lot of credit for fighting on with a broken jaw against Marty Marshall. Fair enough, but the jaw was allegedly broken in the 4th, so that means Liston had to go four more rounds with a broken jaw.
Does that really compare with say, Ali, who went 10 rounds with a broken jaw?
Marshall also lost to most of the big names during the period, and had been knocked out four times before facing Liston, as well as dropping two decisions (one to Harold Johnson) immediately prior to the Liston fight. Marshall was also not a big man, never scaling more than 186 lbs in his career.
After the second Liston fight, Marshall lost 5 of his remaining 7 fights. Was Marshall washed up by the time he faced Liston again?
The next name of any real note on the Liston ledger is Mike DeJohn, who fought and lost to most big names of the period, including Liston, Nino Valdes (twice) Eddie Machen (twice) Zora Foley and in his last fight, George Chuvalo. Obviously DeJohn was no bum, but he lost in all his big fights.
Next up, Cleveland Williams, one of Liston's most celebrated opponents. Certainly, he could hit. But Cleve too, lost most (if not all) his big fights. The only name prior to Liston he faced was Bob Satterfield, who flattened Cleve in 3 rounds.
Liston knocked him out twice so credit is due, but is it all that fantastic an achievement? Williams beat Terrell, lost to the same man, and drew with Eddie Machen. A few years later Ali flattened him, as did Mac Foster. The best fighter Williams ever beat was Terrell. Why does Cleve get so much respect in boxing circles, such being the case?
Nino Valdes is next. The man many thought might give Marciano a tough fight. Problem is, Valdes was long since washed up by the time he faced Liston.
Roy Harris is the next notable name, but Harris was a pretty much protected fighter. Nvertheless, he did beat (the much smaller) Willie Pastrano, BoB Baker and went 13 rounds with Floyd Patterson. Considering it only went a round, it can be regarded as a good win for Liston.
The Zora Folley win was another good performance from Liston.
Eddie Machen was another above-average talent, but he was nothing special. One has to wonder how Sonny could only beat him on points, when Ingemar Johansson flattened him inside a round a few years before. Machen too lost to most the names of the period, such as Folley, Liston, Patterson, Mildenberger etc. His most notable victory was probably over Jerry Quarry.
Albert Westphal only gets mentoned here because his knockout at the hands of Liston is frequently on highlight reels. But hang on, who the hell was Albert Westphal? And why was he only 5'7"??
Next, Patterson, who was so hugely intimidated it's a wonder he showed up at all. Well, he did bring a disguise with him for the first fight, so that speaks volumes about his state of mind.
Funny, Mike Tyson is often slated for fighting intimidated opponents, but when Liston does it, it's considered a plus for Sonny, because y'know, he was just so big and bad and scary. Odd that.
The two Ali stinkers are next.
Liston folded like a house of cards in the first fight, and quit after it dawned on him he had barely laid a glove on Ali for 7 rounds.
The "fight" in Maine, is largely considered a fix, but says who? There has never been anything but the flimsiest circumstantial evidence that there was a fix.
My personal theory is that Liston quit. He did a Buster Douglas and took the money and lay down, thank you very much.
Unfortunately, I have to end it there for now...

RAVE To Eric, Hailey, Kaitlyn and Leslie, employees at my favorite bakery in Poulsbo, who came to my rescue when I was parked outside their shop, discovered I'd forgotten to turn off my headlights and my car was dead. They came to the rescue, assisted by assorted locals and tourists, brought a car around, got my car jumped and back on the road quickly so I didn't miss my ferry. Poulsbo people rock!
RANT For the sullen, slow-motion store employee who became even more sullen after he was unable to answer a question about an item. Asked if he was having a bad day he replied, "It's not very motivating for me to have someone tell me I don't know what I'm talking about." An even bigger rant for the entire generation of counselors, educators and parents who systematically taught his generation that the world owes them unconditional enthusiasm and praise.
RAVE My husband and I were disappointed to find the Sunday performance of "Kaleidoscope" was sold out when we arrived at the theater. While we waited to see if there would be tickets unclaimed at "Will Call," a woman picked up four tickets, said she needed only two and offered us her extras. I asked her how much we owed her and she just replied "Happy Mother's Day." What a wonderful example of generosity for her young daughter, so we wouldn't miss out on seeing the exuberant dancing of the well-trained children of the "Kaleidoscope" company.
RAVE AND RANT Rave to the Link light rail employee who found my camera I'd left there when they checked the train at the end of the line and turned it in. An additional rave to the Link light rail system that works so well. Rant to me for the ugly thoughts I had when I realized I'd left my camera on the Link; I was sure I'd never see it again. It was a good lesson for me to not be so quick to judge or condemn.

Venipede: One of Scolipede's selling points is its Speed, so don't use that. Use Jolly or Adamant (or Naive/Hasty/Naughty/Lonely if you can't be bothered spending an eternity looking for the exact nature).
Servine: Timid is all right, I guess. It could go for a healing set with Leech Seed/Giga Drain, I guess.
Pignite: Timid is a terrible nature on it because Emboar is known for its high Attack. You can use the same natures I recommended for Venipede.
Deino: Don't use a Bold nature on it. A Bold nature raises Defense but lowers Attack and Deino has no time to be defensive, since its defenses are low. Go with Modest or Timid since Hydreigon specializes in Special Attacks (or Naive/Hasty/Mild/Rash if you want to go mixed). Here's an example of a mixed Hydreigon set you could use:
-Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse
-Earthquake/Earth Power
-Fire Blast

Western powers can legally go ahead with a military strike in Syria without a full United Nations mandate, a leading international lawyer said today.
Geoffrey Robertson, QC, said that Russia was "wrong to maintain that military intervention would be unlawful in the absence of full backing from the UN Security Council".
Mr Robertson, a former UN appeal judge and author of Crimes against Humanity, said that it would be necessary first to establish evidence of the Assad regime's guilt for last Wednesday's chemical weapons attacks in Damascus, but that this could be done by the UN appointing five judges swiftly
Military strikes against Syria will depend on action by "the few" — a small coalition of US-led nations without the formal backing of Nato or the United Nations.
Britain and France look set to be the principal players in support of the US. This time, unlike the operation against Libya, where America opted for a supporting role, President Obama will take the lead and the US military will play the main strike role.
"There's no Nato involvement in offensive military planning for Syria. It's too complicated, too early and too dissonant," a Nato diplomatic source said. "All discussions within Nato so far have been defensively orientated. In other words, focusing on the risks of overspill from Syria." A Western diplomatic source added: "It will be a coalition of the few."
President Obama has yet to be given the formal options prepared by the Pentagon. However, it will be his decision, following advice from the National Security Council, which will determine the scale and scope of the attacks in response to President Assad's suspected chemical weapons strikes in which hundreds of men, women and children were killed.
Mr Obama now knows he has the backing of David Cameron and President Hollande for early action, with or without UN approval.
The Pentagon's options for action — up to five alternative plans — will be presented to Mr Obama during a meeting of the National Security Council, whose members include Susan Rice, the national security adviser, Chuck Hagel, the Defence Secretary, John Kerry, the Secretary of State, and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.
General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, will deliver the options.
Mr Hagel, who is on a visit to Asia, will give his views on a secure teleconference video. The aircraft he is travelling on is set up for secure communications with the White House.
Mr Obama will make his decision and then inform Mr Cameron and President Hollande.
General Dempsey, a veteran commander of the Iraq war, is by nature ultra-cautious. His preference will be for what he sees as the least worst option, launching strikes by cruise missiles from warships in the eastern Mediterranean.

It was horrible I think we got food poisioning! Food was cold even just out of the kithchen doughnuts were like bricks Horrible! there rude could get no refill on drinks. We will not go back!
This place sucks! They are rude the food is always cold.. They even told me not to let my kid get food on the table shes 4yrs old they r gonna be a little messy! I will never go back!!!!
They argued with my friend about the age of her daughter. She was 10 I think at the time. They were calling her a liar. She asked if she needed to bring birth certificate next time. lol. They are greedy and very disrespectful.
Being a customer I can say my visits have been good to going bad that they do have nosey way of serving that they hardly even take away your dishes or let alone fill your glass that I know your supposed to tip but I refuse to give one cent to people who are rude and inconsiderate about customer satisfaction. They need to replace the staff quit or else I'm just gonna continue to go to lenior for my meal at empire buffet. It may be a **** but it's worth being treat with respect and compassion which I don't seem to see that. That have cleaned up the place a little but you can always feel the presentation of sanitary condition low while the food is like eating yesterday lunch and when you eat to much they will gripe as though you steal for what you paid to eat. I mean common who does this.
They stare at you while you eat . They also: I believe" count how many times you go to the bar
I like the food. They keep the all you can eat buffet fresh and stocked
This place is nasty inside. I am surprised it is even allowed to operate as a restaurant still serving the public. I first went there several years ago and it was bad then, but I thought I'd again give them a chance recently. I figured it would have changed and gotten better over time; this didn't happen. Will never be going back.
I have eat at this restaurant for many years, but have had some neg experiences...so I just cut back on my visits. My girls and I just ate there just around first of June, and my girls have NEVER been questioned regarding their age... But their child price is from 12 yrs down and the lady up front charged me for two adults and one child. I ask her about it and she said that my 11 yr old was Not under 12 yrs of age. My girls are 10 and 11, they are twelve months and nine days apart born in October 2002, November 2003... Just saying she called Me a liar and it is not the three bucks but the fact that she called me a dis honest person as if I was trying to get out of paying three bucks. And the other thing is that my 10 yr old is larger than the 11 yr old child.
They will say something if you eat to much. They will complain if you ask for shrimp.
Good food, but Disgusting!
Clean it up
The last time I ate there I felt like I needed a bath when I left....nasty. Seems like the place always has a B sanitation grade.
The food use to be good. The food on the bar is barely warm. They took the crablegs off the bar. I don't go back anymore.
Me and my 14 year old son absolutely love eating here. The staff is always nice and friendly. The tea is awesome and the buffet is da bomb.

How to mic a cajon
How to mic a cajon can be a tricky business and there are quite a few ways of doing it for both live and studio settings. What you end up doing for either on stage or in the booth depends on a variety of factors. Lets just take the studio for example, what is your room like? is it lively or dead? or does it sound great for acoustic drums naturally? What type of microphones are available and is your engineer willing to experiment? As with a lot of drum sessions, experimentation is key. There is no, generally speaking, one right or wrong way to record the cajon but there are a few techniques that have been tried and tested. The thing with the cajon is that even though it may sound good to the ear, it is sometimes a bugger to get it sound the way you want in a studio or live setting.
Along with having my own experiences, I decided to ask some of my pro-audio engineer buddies who have a fair bit of experience behind them what they thought, and they came back with some pretty solid solutions.
Mic the front and back
What seems to be a general consciences, and I have to agree, is that you really want to mic both the back and the front of the cajon. This will enable you to capture the wide frequency range that the instrument produces. I would say that in the studio this is an absolute must. Mattie Foulds, who is not only an engineer/producer but also a drummer with many years of experience suggested the use of a Neumann U 87 about a foot from the from the front of the cajon and a bass drum mic in the sound hole to catch the depth. He recommended an Audio Technica ATM25 or Beta 91 for the bass end. The Neumann U 87 is really an incredible mic but not the cheapest piece of kit coming it at around $3000 – $4000 so lets look at some other alternatives.
Iain Thompson, another experienced engineer in the business uses an Audix D6 on the back end and a Beyerdynamic M 201 pointed at the front. I have used this combo before and it will definitely give you a solid result at a lower cost. He also recommended the use of a Beyer m88 for the bass end with the careful use of a high pass filter.
The Beta 91
The microphone that was mentioned the most and the one I always go to is theShure Beta 91. This is a half cardioid condenser microphone and is commonly used for kick drums. In my experience both live and in the studio this is the best mic for cajon out there and if you want to buy a mic for you cajon to use live, this is it. The way I place the mic is on a small folded towel or small pillow inside the cajon. This will help prevent the mic from moving around inside.Matt Malakowski, an engineer I have worked with many times said: "when using the beta 91 you should also use a really tight parametric cut around 95-110 depending on the cajon and PA and a little tweaking of 600-1k and the top end and you've got huge sounding cajon for days with no feedback". I would trust Matt with my cajon sound in any situation. You could also put a mic on the front and blend the sound but the great thing about the 91 is that it works very well on its own. This is the mic I use, particularly for a live situations. You just can't beat it for the cajon as it will pick up the wide range of frequencies the drum will produce by its self. You can consult your engineer about adding a second mic on the front but this thing will stand up to the task in small clubs to stadiums. It also handles the risk of fead back very well.
Shure Beta 91 – One of the best all-in-one cajon mics around.
The Sub Kick
A while back I did a session with Minneapolis singer/songwriter Molly Dean. We had just finished miking up the cajon when I saw a Yamaha Sub Kick in the corner of the room. The sub kick is a low-frequency capture device that picks up the low frequencies (100Hz-2000Hz) that a normal microphone can't. I felt we just had to see how it sounded. We already had a kick mic in the back and the cajon sounded punchy enough but once we added the sub kick it gave the cajon an immense amount of extra beef. If you have one of these lying around, you should for sure try it out on the back of the cajon along with a regular kick mic.
Let the room speak
If you have the advantage of having a nice sounding room you will also want to set up some room mics. Audio veteran Alex Fiennes gave me another great suggestion for utilizing the room sound. He suggested using an MS pair in front of the cajon. The MS technique gives you more control over the width of the stereo spread than a typical XY microphone recording technique, and allows you to make adjustments at any time after the recording is finished. Here is more information about the MS pair. I would think about using a kick mic along with this just to have some extra low-end if you need it.
This may sound obvious but make sure you use your ears. They will tell you if you are getting a good sound or not. Use some good headphones and experiment with placement until you are getting the sound you want. Don't think that you can fix a bad sound with plugins and effects. This is simply not true. One of the best pieces of advice when I asked my engineer friends about this was from Jim Sutherland who simply said: "Experiment until it sounds good."

Special thanks to: Alex Fiennes, Matt Malakowski, Mattie Foulds, Iain Thompson, Jim Sutherland, Findlay Napier, Niall Macaulay & Gary Peterson for your sound advice.
Readers feel free to comment with your own suggestions. I would love to get your input.

USAID's Partnership for Development program aims to enhance the enabling environment for Kosovo's private sector to expand employment opportunities for the country's citizens. The program works in partnership with the government and other partners to support Kosovo's vision for economic growth by strengthening its institutions.
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC)
USAID/Kosovo has a buy-in to a Washington-held Cooperative Agreement (CA) with the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) to support the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) in Kosovo. This support takes place through partnership and peer-to-peer exchanges between ERO and U.S. regulatory commissions with the objective of facilitating the exchange of information, data, and best practices among regulators.
This project was designed to replace the Kosovo Food and Veterinary Agency's (KFVA) multiple redundant and inefficient veterinary and phytosanitary systems with a new, unified system that will ensure better information exchange and interception of animal and plant products.
The outcome of the activity will have a positive impact on international trade, specifically regarding easier and safer movement of goods with animal and plant origin.
EMPOWER Private Sector Support aims to increase competitiveness in growth-ready sectors and facilitate inclusive job creation, while also developing the capacity of local service providers to support the Kosovo private sector and respond to USAID contractor requirements.
USAID developed a loan portfolio guarantee to increase access to finance for Kosovo's micro, small, and medium enterprises in agricultural value chains, as well as business startups in all sectors. These guarantees give banks the incentive to lend to business startups and agribusinesses, especially young entrepreneurs and farmers, who would otherwise find it difficult or impossible to obtain financing, in order to demonstrate the potential profitability in these sectors. USAID is also working to assist Kosovo's financial sector to introduce new products tailored to meet the specific needs of start-ups and agricultural businesses.
The Development Credit Authority (DCA) loan portfolio guarantee aims to increase access to credit for Kosovo's agriculture sector by providing a 50% risk guarantee to loans issued by participating banks. The DCA guarantee gives banks the incentive to lend to farmers, who would otherwise find it difficult or impossible to obtain financing, in order to demonstrate their potential profitability.
Through the DCA, USAID is also assisting Kosovo's financial sector to introduce new products tailored to meet the needs of agricultural businesses throughout the agriculture value chains.
The Kosovo American Education Fund (KAEF) is a perpetual education fund dedicated to the economic development of Kosovo through the education of its people. KAEF supports educational programs that provide Kosovo's future leaders with the tools they need to promote the country's future prosperity.
The overall goal of this program is to strengthen linkages among citizens, political parties, and the Assembly to incentivize government bodies to be more responsive to public interests. To achieve this, the National Democratic Institute (NDI) has three mutually reinforcing objectives:
The Public Pulse II project is a continuation of Public Pulse (initially launched jointly with UNDP in 2010). This project will continue the work on research and analysis of pertinent issues as a watchdog that will constructively engage the Government of Kosovo and public institutions in research. The project is implemented in cooperation with Kosovo institutions to increase capacities for utilization of data and research methodologies for addressing problems and issues, as well as to assure stability and facilitate dialogue between institutions and citizens.
In a society segregated physically and psychologically by the legacy of conflict, through the National Democratic Institute (NDI), USAID is convening Kosovars of diverse ethnic backgrounds in purposeful dialogue about the issues that both divide and unite them to engender cooperation between communities on issues of shared concern and interest.
The program's main objectives are to:

It's a thrill to see two out of three of the CineMart Awards are to filmmakers we are tracking: "Luxembourg" by Myroslav Slaboshptyskly from Ukraine and Cuba's Claudia Calvino and Carlos Lechuga's "Santa y Delfin" won the inaugural Wouter Barendrecht Award.Read More »
After looking at musicians, cinematographers, actors, actresses and screenwriters, there was only one natural place to go with our On The Rise series: directors. After all, film is still an auteur's medium, and the director is the one who hires all of the above, stitching together the various elemen...Read More »

Welcome to Carlisle Winery & Vineyards! We are a small Sonoma County
winery specializing in the production of old-vine, vineyard designated
Zinfandels and red Rhone varieties (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite
Sirah). We have also recently added our first whites, two blends from historic, old-vine vineyards plus Sonoma County's first ever Grüner Veltliner. While we like our wines to be bold and intensely flavored,
each reflecting its vintage and vineyard, we also
strive to create wines of balance, complexity, and nuance. Our goal is always the same - grow and source outstanding fruit, do as little as possible to it, and bottle outstanding, pleasurable wine at the fairest price possible..
We hope you enjoy our Web site. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
Mike Officer

Well I have the Visual Boy Advance emulator, and I'm finished, but I want to play Pocket Monsters Stadium 2 (Is the Pokemon Stadium 1 in North America) because have different things that the USA version and is uncensored (Usa ever censore), but in Project 64 in japanese pokemon stadium with the American .sav and .gb files appear "??????" and do not work (In Pokemon Stadium USA version, this works perfect).
So the problem is the region (P.Stadium Japanese with Pokemon Red U version).
Well, so I want to use the .SAV file or SGM file of america version in Japanese edition of Pokemon Red, but do not work.
So, there is a way to transfer the Save file or Pokemons from Pokemon Red (U) version to Pokemon Red (J) version?
Please I want to know!!
