"Russia is my second home" Top 5 Page for this destination Russia by dr.firas
Russia Travel Guide: 15,296 reviews and 40,779 photos
I was in Russia since 1996
I studied Russian language 1996-1997
then I passed 5 years in studing dentistry till 2002
Now I can say it's realy my second home.
In those 6 years in Russia I viseted Moscow,Rostov Sochi,Novorosisk,Novocharkask,Krasnodar,and ofcourse my almost time was in Voronezh were I studied.
In general you can order in a restaurant the Russian food:Pelmini , or Borsh ..this is the traditional Russian tasty food .They have also good salads, all of them are tasty...
The drinks are not of very high quality..but there's
a rule in general : an expensive drink = good drink
Cheep drinks = lousy drinks!!!
Of course I have to say that in Russia the girls are so beautiful in general...pure Slavian beauties..also sexy!!! one thing you have to be careful if you have dark eyes ,dark hair ,dark skin...because you can face a band of jerks who called themselves "Nasist" or "Skin heads" they are really dangerous and they can hurt you and beat you for no reason!!! so be careful if you don't have European tipe!
Thanks god I had no problems with this matter!
Well Moscow is a real great big city.you'll have no problem with transport ...but the best in my opinion is using the metro...
The Red Square , Douma, Kremlin ,Stari Orbad , Park Gorkovo, are the coolest places that you should visit.. there's many hotels to choose ,but if you need a good and not expensive one : "Kosmos" is a good choice...
Why I'm always saying that Russia is a very good country to visit?
Russia have civilization .
Russia have culture
Russia have ancient places
Russia have good people
Russia is extremely big
Russia have more than one nationality and culture and religion
Russia is rich with landscapes
Russia is something between east and west...and this is magic
Russia is in fact and indeed a super country.
Have you ever heard about Russian sweetest music and singers like:
Alsou ...of course yes.
but what about Valery Meladze...
this is the greatset male voice I guess on this earth.
- Pros:Most Beautiful females on Earth
- Cons:The Cold Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
- In a nutshell:Russia is ever Glorious!

I didn't know you know Alsou and Valery Meladze! I even went to Alsou's concert in 1999 in Ukraine. hahaha!
Looks like you really had a wonderful time there! Same goes for me :)
My first Moscow winter, I wondered why so many people were walking in the street, rather than on the sidewalks. After seeing large, sharp chunks of ice drop from the eaves of buildings I had the answer as to why it is best to walk in the street!
haha... YOU again!! Dont know which place I'd like to visit.... Just click here and there... Voila, Rusia... n you were been there too. Nice page =P

"Historical Town in the Oil Region" Franklin by Rabbityama
Franklin Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 25 photos
Franklin is a small town, but sometimes that's kind of nice. At first, it may seem like a boring town, and sometimes it is, but if you take the time to look, you'll find that it has its fair share of interesting sites. Most visitors to Franklin come to tour the Oil Region, which is made up of Venango County and Titusville.
The beauty of every season can be seen in Franklin. This picture is actually a bit late in fall, so the leaves are not nearly as beautiful as they were a few weeks before this picture was taken!
The apple blossoms in the spring. Franklin's Applefest is the largest arts and crafts festival in Western Pennsylvania.
- Pros:Nature, Rural, Historical, Architecture
- Cons:There is not always a lot happening

I grew up near Franklin (in Lucinda, near Clarion) and have made occasional visits to places like Tri-City Speedway &Two Mile Run Park. As a kid we used to go see Wings Over Venango... is that still going on? Enjoyed the memories from your page. Joe

Sounds like you live in a great part of the world!
Nice to read and know about Franklin
Hi Brandon, thanks for visiting my homepage. I see that you're from Franklin. Many years ago I lived in Clarion,Pa for a year and had friends in Franklin. I really liked it there.
A great page yet again, Brandon!. Wishing you a Happy New Year too, and thank you for sharing.
We used to camp every year near Marienville and Warren. I think they may be near your part of the world. My husband also did some work at Westminister College. Are these familiar names? Don't know Franklin, I'm near Lewisburg.
Googles earth to Franklin - interesting ;-)))

Waldo the groundhog predicts early spring
Groundhog Club celebrates 105th anniversary
Waukesha - Once again, the Wildlife In Need Center's infamous weather prognosticating groundhog, Waldo, has emerged from his burrow as a hero with a promise of something to look forward to during a long Wisconsin winter. Who knew the whims of a willful woodchuck would bring a smile to so many?
About 100 people of all ages let out a resounding cheer when Waldo failed to see his shadow during the Milwaukee Groundhog Club's annual Groundhog Day celebration on Feb. 2 at the Waukesha Elks Lodge. And according to Groundhog Day lore - spring is most certainly just around the corner.
The Milwaukee Groundhog Club has been celebrating Groundhog Day for 105 years and was in danger of canceling its 100th anniversary festivities when its former mascot, Walnut, from the Milwaukee County Zoo suddenly died. When the Wildlife In Need Center (WINC) in the Town of Ottawa found out about the club's woes, the wildlife rehabilitation center did what it does best. It came to the rescue - offering its resident groundhog as the star of the club's event.
Five years later, the Milwaukee Groundhog Club and WINC continue to join forces to bring a little whimsy in the middle of winter. Dressed smartly in top hat and tux, Richard Perschon, 76, of Pewaukee has been a member of the club for 14 years and is "keeper of the burrow."
On Feb. 2, 1908, two gentlemen were chatting in the barbershop in the old Blatz Hotel in downtown Milwaukee when they discovered they were both celebrating their birthdays that day. They both knew other friends who were also celebrating Groundhog Day birthdays and decided to form the Milwaukee Groundhog Club. The only condition for membership is the member must be born on Feb. 2.
"We're all so excited to see what Waldo will do. Every year we gather together for this event and every year more and more people join in on the fun. And we are so grateful for the Wildlife In Need Center," said Perschon.
This year the Wildlife In Need Center added to the celebration with an open house. Guests had the opportunity to visit with Waldo, as well as 10 other animal ambassadors from WINC, including Dakota the great horned owl.
The Pledge
We believe in the wisdom of our groundhog, Waldo. We declare his intelligence. We rejoice that he can, and does, foretell with absolute accuracy the exact weather conditions for the six weeks following each Feb. 2.

In 13 years as Editor-in-Chief of The Hockey News, I've made a ton of suggestions on how to improve the game. You'd almost think I didn't like it.
The truth is, I feel it's part of my job to help stimulate conversation and debate. While hockey is still pretty darned fantastic, nothing is perfect.
What follows is a list of various things I've suggested, conceived, advocated or supported during my baker's dozen years in my ivory tower.

A tin is a special kind of comestible that will not dilute or rot, and may give valuable intrinsics, although they are usually too slow to be eaten in an emergency.
Tins can be made by applying a tinning kit to a corpse, as well as being randomly generated. Tins of spinach can be found, wished for, or created through polymorphing; They cannot be created with a tinning kit. Spinach will increase your strength attribute, unless it is cursed ("It contains some decaying green substance"), in which case your strength will decrease.
Tins containing the meat of genocided monsters will not be randomly generated. If you wish for such a tin, you will get an "empty tin" instead. Tins created before the species was genocided will still appear as "tin of foo", but upon opening "It turns out to be empty". Furthermore, tins of unique monsters cannot be wished for.
Eating tins[edit]
When you attempt to eat a tin, if you are polymorphed into a metallivore you will "bite right into the metal tin" and if you are a monster with no limbs you will receive the message "You cannot handle the tin properly to open it." Otherwise, you will attempt to open the tin. The time taken for this depends on whether the tin is blessed, and on your currently wielded weapon. A blessed tin has equal chances of opening immediately ("The tin opens like magic!") or with a one turn delay ("The tin seems easy to open.")[1]. A wielded tin opener will also allow you to quickly open any tin based on its beautitude: blessed will open all tins immediately, uncursed in 0-1 turns, cursed in 0-2 turns. A wielded crysknife, athame, or any kind of dagger will open a tin in three turns. With a pick-axe or an axe (but not a battle-axe) the tin will open in six turns. Using a weapon this way can't break it like forcing. Without any tools, a tin will take between 10 and 10 + 500/(Str+Dex) turns to open.[2]Cursed tins are difficult to open and have a small chance of being trapped. Opening a trapped tin causes an explosion and can stun you.
Once you have opened a tin, you will receive a message telling you what it contains (and identify the contents of any tins that were in the same stack, if you have already eaten the corpse of that kind of monster), and will be given the choice of eating it or discarding the contents. (If you are hallucinating, this message will be inaccurate. It is safest not to consume any unknown tins whilst hallucinating, lest you accidentally consume cockatrice meat.) If you choose to eat it, you will receive another message of the form "You consume (food preparation method) (monster)". (e.g. "You consume boiled sewer rat.") Eating the contents of an opened tin takes one turn.
The possible food preparation methods are "deep fried", "pickled", "soup made from", "pureed", "rotten", "homemade", "stir fried", "candied", "boiled", "dried", "szechuan", "french fried", "sauteed", "broiled", and "smoked"; The type of preparation is determined when the tin is eaten, so tins that stack (i.e., of the same monster) may be in different styles. Most non-spinach tins have low nutritional value (see below), but tins of pureed monster have nutritional value 500, which is more than half that of a food ration. Rotten tins have negative nutritional value and will cause you to vomit. Cursed tins are always rotten, and tins made by you with a tinning kit are always homemade or rotten.
Eating a deep fried or french fried tin will give you slippery fingers which will cause you to drop your weapon. It is therefore unwise to eat tins in a shop without first unwielding your weapon.
Corpses that convey intrinsics will have the same probability of conferring that intrinsic when they have been tinned. Tinning makes poisonous and rotten corpses safe, however, as your character picks out the good bits for the tin that (s)he can fit inside. It is popular to tin dragons, as you will still get the intrinsic, but without the enormous meal.
An unidentified tin will appear as a "tin". Once the contents are known, one of the following descriptions is adopted instead:
|tin of foo meat
|foo is a fleshy monster
|tin of foo
|foo is a monster suitable for vegetarians
|tin of spinach
|spinach is suitable for vegans
|empty tin
|suitable for those going without food
The nutrition of a tin varies depending on the way it was cooked. Below is a list of the possible variations of the contents of a tin.[3]
|Increases strength
|Stir fried
|In UnNetHack: 50% chance of a fortune cookie
|Deep fried
|Causes slippery fingers
|French fried
|Causes slippery fingers
|Causes nausea
Tins of nurse meat[edit]
Tins of nurse meat are a potent but complicated resource, and deserve special consideration. Like the corpse of a nurse, a tin of nurse meat will restore you to full hit points. This makes nurses an attractive target for tinning when you encounter them. Tins of nurse meat have some advantages and some disadvantages relative to potions of full healing:
- First and foremost, consumption of nurse meat is cannibalism for human characters! Fortunately, tinning the corpse does not count as cannibalism--only eating the tin does. So it is possible to tin nurses against a future need, when you might prefer the penalties of cannibalism to death.
- Unlike potions, tins never explode or dilute, so are always safe to carry in main inventory, even in such hostile environments as the Plane of Fire.
- On the other hand, even a blessed tin will take two turns to heal you (one to open and one to consume), which is slower than quaffing a potion in main inventory and no faster than retrieving a potion from a bag before quaffing. A (non-cursed) homemade tin will always provide 50 nutrition, and can cause you to choke to death if you are satiated; this is never the case with a potion.
- A full healing potion can only restore a maximum of 400 hit points; nurse meat always restores you to your maximum, however high that is. However, a non-cursed full healing potion can also raise your maximum HP if your current HP is maxed out by it, which the tin won't do.
Tins from Hack 1.0 through NetHack 2.3e behave quite differently from the modern form. There is no tinning kit in these versions, and consequently there are no tinned monsters. Randomly generated tins can produce the following results:[4][5]
|It contains spinach - this makes you feel like Popeye!
|600, increases strength
|It contains salmon - not bad!
|60, causes slippery fingers
|It contains first quality peaches - what a surprise!
|It contains apple juice - perhaps not what you hoped for.
|It contains some nondescript substance, tasting awfully.
|It contains rotten meat. You vomit.
|It turns out to be empty.
Tins in their modern form first appear in NetHack 3.0.0. That version has only spinach, deep fried, pickled, soup, pureed, and rotten tins;[6] a tinning kit will produce one of these (except spinach of course), rather than the homemade tin.
NetHack 3.1.0 adds the homemade tin,[7] and modifies the tinning kit to produce this type only.[8]
NetHack 3.3.0 adds the complete list of tins given above.[9]
UnNetHack includes the Free Fortune Cookie Patch; there is a 50% chance for a szechuan tin to contain a free fortune cookie.
SLASH'EM once again modernizes the tins: They no longer tell exactly what the tin contains, unless the player has already eaten the particular meat. Instead, they will only give some general information ("It smells kind of like a dog or other canine."), or not even that ("The smell is unfamiliar."). This makes eating tins much more risky, as the players could accidentally commit cannibalism or eat cockatrice meat, and one may easily lose vegetarian conduct without knowing. Furthermore, tins can be generated with the same traps as other traditional containers.
Minor bug[edit]
You can find tins of monsters that do not leave corpses, such as clay golems and air elementals but also of mummies and zombies. Even in wizard mode you cannot wish for such tins. It is bug number 667.
If you try to eat them, the game will probably not crash, and you can get the effects of the corresponding corpses. For example you can gain a level from a wraith tin. Air elemental and yellow light tins will be empty. It seems that the tinning process was applied, so you will probably not get food poisoning from a mummy/zombie tin.
Encyclopedia entry[edit]
"You know salmon, Sarge," said Nobby.
"It is a fish of which I am aware, yes."
"You know they sell kind of slices of it in tins..."
"So I am given to understand, yes."
"Weell...how come all the tins are the same size? Salmon
gets thinner at both ends."
"Interesting point, Nobby. I think-"

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina designated hitter Kyle Roller was named Coca-Cola Hitter-of-the-Week in the Cape Cod League for the first week of the 2009 season the league announced Monday.
The rising senior had an astoundingly productive week at the plate, batting .429 and leading the league with an .810 slugging percentage. Roller has driven in seven of his team's 22 runs, and leads the Cape in RBI. His two home runs also tie him for second in the CCBL despite only having 21 plate appearances.
Roller also played for Bourne last year, appearing in 42 games and starting in 17 at first base. He batted .270 with two homers, 22 RBI and 20 runs in 2008 for the Braves, and his 12 doubles ranked him second in the league.
The Rockingham, N.C. native, who earned first-team All Conference USA and first-team All-America honors from Ping!Baseball, was selected in the 47th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft by the Oakland A's on June 11.

Does your family love meat and potatoes, but you want them to eat more vegetables? Here's the ultimate compromise: all the pleasure of grilled steak and potatoes mixed into a tasty, fresh summer salad.
Parsnips add a comforting wintry heartiness to classic mashed potatoes. For the juiciest steaks, let them rest for at least five minutes before serving. Round out the meal with a side of steamed greens or a mixed-leaf salad.
Flank steak is a great option for serving a large crowd because you cook it whole, meaning there's only one steak to turn on the grill, rather than several. Balsamic vinegar adds bold flavour to the marinade. For a subtler taste, opt for a light-to-medium-bodied red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Merlot, instead.
In The Test Kitchen, we cook rib eyes to medium-rare—just enough to render some of the fat but not enough to toughen the meat. This béarnaise recipe yields a full cup; leftovers don't keep well in the fridge, so if you're serving a smaller crowd that won't need all of the sauce, consider substituting with our Shallotand-Herb Compound Butter (see below).
Rub this paste on the steaks for a deliciously herbal flavour.
Flank steak is a marinating steak, but if you cook it to no more than medium-rare and slice it thinly across the grain, it doesn't need the marination, as you'll taste here.
Tender and juicy, this steak has the addition of a flavourful marinade that glazes the meat. Chinese five-spice powder (a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns) is available in the spice section of the supermarket. If you can't find it, use a pinch each of pepper, cinnamon and cloves instead.
Eye of round is a roast but can be treated the same as a very thick marinating steak. This naturally lean cut is made more tender by slicing it very thinly on the diagonal across the grain.
Portobellos, the "steak" of mushrooms, are meaty enough to satisfy vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. The mushrooms also make a great side dish.
Sirloin steaks and medallions are tender cuts that you can grill right away. However, they are even more tender and flavourful if you marinate them for eight to 24 hours.
Ask the butcher to cut the steak 2 inches (5 cm) thick for this party-size steak.

The Roots of the National Trust
Jenkins, Jennifer, History Today
The National Trust was formally constituted on January 12th, 1895. The vision of three pioneers -- Octavia Hill, the housing reformer, Sir Robert Hunter, solicitor of the Commons Preservation Society, and Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, a Lake District clergyman, the Trust was vested with the power to 'promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest'. The idea of the new organisation had first occurred to Hunter and Hill ten years earlier when, working in London and still in their forties, they were closely in touch with other leading social reformers. The three shared an intense love of nature and a belief in its healing power which, in the case of Hill and Rawnsley, had been fostered by their relationship with John Ruskin.
Ruskin was born in 1819, the same year as Queen Victoria, and exerted an extraordinary influence, his books filling the shelves of those with enquiring minds until the end of the century: 'For almost fifty years, to read Ruskin was accepted as proof of the possession of a soul' claimed Kenneth Clark. Insofar as he attracts interest today it is because of the complexity of his character, 'a pampered aesthete who gradually became aware of social injustice', and the tragedy of his personal life ending in madness. But his intellectual range and his poetic language appealed to literary figures as different as Wordsworth and Proust, and his concern for moral issues was admired by political leaders as far apart as Gladstone and Gandhi.
Octavia Hill was fifteen when she first met Ruskin in 1853 at the Ladies Guild, a craft workshop for unskilled women and girls. Two years later he offered to train her as a copyist of illuminations and Old Masters and for more than ten years she regularly spent many hours in the company of this turbulent genius, listening to his views on religion, society, nature and art. She must have given satisfaction but, despite her dedication, Ruskin was perceptive enough to see where her real vocation lay: 'If you devote yourself to human expression, I know how it will be ... there will be an end of art for you. You will say hang drawing!! I must go to help people'. And in 1865 it was Ruskin who lent her the money to buy two small blocks of slum property and so to embark on her life's work. She had become pre-occupied with the degrading and unhealthy conditions in which the poor of Marylebone lived and had observed the improvements effected by a local charitable trust. Her aim was to put her properties into decent condition, to manage them on a sound financial basis and 'to rouse habits of industry and effort' among the tenants. Nonetheless Ruskin's belief in nature as a moral being had so permeated her consciousness that towards the end of her life she was referring to 'the holy things of nature'.
Hardwicke Rawnsley also experienced Ruskin's magnetic power when, at an impressionable age, he attended the lectures Ruskin gave as Slade Professor at Oxford. Rawnsley recalled the scene:
Ruskin got, in quite an astonishing manner, at the heart of the undergraduates. One looks back to the crowded audiences at his Oxford lectures, to the delightful breakfasts with 'the Master', to the new experiences, with their fruit for life, of being roadmakers for the Hinksey poor under the direct encouragement and personal supervision of the Slade professor.
(Despite the mockery of their contemporaries Ruskin persuaded a number of young men to help mend the road to the village of Hinksey, just outside Oxford.)
Many of Ruskin's letters 'To the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain', which he published as Fors Clavigera, were written from Oxford, attacking a social system which condemned four-fifths of the population to squalid ugliness and expounding his doctrine that 'There is no wealth but life'. His vivid word pictures illustrating 'this degradation of the operative into a machine' and the need to solve the problem of poverty were influential in persuading Rawnsley and other young men to interest themselves in social movements and in education ('Let us reform our schools and we shall find little reform needed for our prisons', he urged, rather optimistically). …

Youth Brigade is a Southern California punk music trio formed in 1980 by brothers Mark Stern, Adam Stern, and Shawn Stern. The band subsequently founded BYO (Better Youth Organization), which served both as their record label and as a statement of their attitude toward the young people involved in punk subculture, which was generally sympathetic and arguably less sensationalistic than the view usually presented in the media.

School Library Journal (11/01/1988):
Gr 1-4 Anansi the Spider happens upon an unusual stone that magically puts him to sleep for an hour. The master trickster decides to use the rock to get the food stores from the rest of the local residents. Each animal is taken in turn to the strange moss-covered rock, says the magic phrase, and promptly falls asleep to have its food pilfered by Anansi. All the while, however, Little Bush Deer silently watches. Ultimately, it is small and shy Deer who outwits Anansi and returns the food to its rightful owners. Although no specific source is given, Kimmel has retold a West African tale (said to be known in Caribbean culture). The text is rhythmic, nicely building suspense to the inevitable conclusion. Stevens' complementary, colorful illustrations add detail, humor, and movement to the text. Here, Anansi is portrayed as a large eight-legged arachnid; his expression is in his motion. The other animals are almost realistic, although with facial expressions that are characteristic of the artist's work. This new picture book Anansi tale will be welcomed by all trickster fans.

OSU Hoops: Where's the respect?
By John Helsley
follow me on twitter @jjhelsley
So the Big 12 basketball coaches have spoken, albeit silently, by vote.
And while I completely concur they know exponentially more about the game than I ever will, I'm calling them out for their preseason poll.
Since this is an OSU blog, let's start with the Cowboys, who were picked for eighth place. Too low.
I understand the focus on the loss of James Anderson and Obi Muonelo, the team's leading scorers and unquestioned leaders. Anderson was the conference Player of the Year and Muonelo was the league's biggest matchup nightmare.
Those guys will be missed.
But there's plenty in place, with the Cowboys, to expect more than eighth place.
Soon, you'll be hearing about Keiton Page's summer of shape, how he's transformed his body and upgraded his quickness and stamina and should be ready to lead this team in transition.
You already know about Matt Pilgrim, who was a beast down the stretch in the Big 12 and should only be better as a more confident and secure player. Marshall Moses returns, too, and provided a glimpse of hope to an otherwise disappointing season with a nice outing in the NCAA Tournament loss to Georgia Tech.
You know, too, about Ray Penn and Nick Sidorakis and Fred Gulley. Penn, by the way, is healthy.
What you don't know, and the league's coaches apparently don't know either, is that the new faces have bolstered the team's overall talent and depth.
Markel Brown, the Player of the Year in Louisiana, should be an impact player as a freshman. Darrell Williams gives the Pokes another big body for the paint, a luxury they just didn't have a year ago. Cowboys coaches would ideally like to redshirt freshman Michael Cobbins and add bulk to his thin frame, but his skills may force them to reconsider. And don't forget JP Olukemi, who arrived in January and drew raves in practices, and is now ready to bring his slashing style to the floor.
There's talk, too, that center Jarred Shaw has improved dramatically. And Roger Franklin and Reger Dowell are still around. Only freshman Brian Williams, rehabbing from offseason surgery, is out the picture for this season.
Yes, there's no obvious scoring threat, like Big Game James and Obi provided a year ago, although Brown averaged nearly 30 points as a prep senior.
But the strength of this team will be its versatility. This is Travis Ford's kind of team, one that's athletic and deep and can play fast on both ends of the floor.
Will they win the Big 12? Likely not.
But will they finish eighth? I say no; no way.
K-State is a solid pick for No. 1. But Kansas gets two first-place votes on reputation alone and finishes second in the voting. Baylor will challenge for the championship and should have been No. 2, not No. 4.
And A&M and Tech ahead of OSU, please.

Lawrie, Escobar homer, Blue Jays rout Angels 11-2
TORONTO Henderson Alvarez gave the Toronto Blue Jays' injury-riddled rotation the break it needed.
Alvarez pitched seven solid innings, Yunel Escobar homered during a seven-run burst in the second inning and Brett Lawrie later added a three-run shot, leading the Blue Jays over the Los Angeles Angels 11-2 Saturday.
Toronto, which lost starters Brandon Morrow, Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison in a four-game span earlier this month, watched with concern when Alvarez exited with a sore elbow after five innings in last Monday's game at Boston.
Declared healthy enough to take his regular turn in the rotation against the streaking Angels, the right-handed Alvarez responded by winning consecutive starts for the first time since May 10, when he followed up a shutout of the Angels with a win at Minnesota.
"The fact that he was able to go out and pitch extremely efficient, a lot of early outs, his pitch count well in check, he did an outstanding job," manager John Farrell said. "It's been a while since a starter worked deep in the game to give some of our relievers some down time."
Alvarez allowed one runs and seven hits and walked none.
"It felt good today," Alvarez said through a translator. "It does so much good to go long into games. It was good to be able to go seven."
Center fielder Peter Bourjos said Alvarez didn't give the Angels much to swing at.
"A lot of borderline pitches, I felt, close pitches that he was getting some calls on," Bourjos said. "He threw the ball extremely well, kept the ball down and he really didn't leave too much over the plate."
Lawrie also doubled and singled. He drove in three runs and scored three before leaving after the seventh.
Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia almost tumbled over the dugout railing while catching Trout's foul popup in the eighth, but Toronto third base coach Brian Butterfield and pitcher Brett Cecil leapt off the bench to prevent a painful fall.
"That was awesome," Lawrie said. "He kept his eye on the ball the whole time and stuck with it. It was a nice catch."
Los Angeles lost consecutive games for the first time since June 3-4.
"That was a bad game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're just going to turn the page on it."
Trout, who came in leading the AL with a .342 average, was held hitless for the first time in 12 games. He finished 0 for 4, dropping his average to .336.
Garrett Richards (2-1) lost for the first time in five starts this season. He allowed 10 runs, five of them unearned, and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings.
"We were just off today," Richards said. "As a team we were off. Just one of those days."
Lawrie got the Blue Jays started in the first with a leadoff double and later scored when Jose Bautista grounded into a double play.
The Blue Jays matched their biggest inning of the season in the second. Kelly Johnson opened with a double and Escobar followed with his fifth home run. Two outs later, Arencibia singled, took second on a passed ball and scored when Bourjos dropped Lawrie's sinking liner for an error.
"That inning snowballed after that play and it didn't get better," Bourjos said.
It sure didn't. Colby Rasmus doubled home a run and scored on Bautista's single, the 500th RBI of the Toronto star's career. Edwin Encarnacion followed with a single and Trout made a wild throw from left field, allowing another run to score. Johnson capped the inning with an RBI triple that skipped past Trout.

Sure. Why not. Crooks.... will end up paying in back taxes like Google.
Forget China, These American comamies can't be TRUSTED ?
First Apple, then Google and now Facebook.
Like its Silicon Valley brethren before it, the social networking behemoth now finds its tax practices in the spotlight.
In 2014, despite having $1 billion in sales in the United Kingdom, Facebook paid just $6,000 in taxes there, the Sunday Times reported. Globally in 2015, the Menlo Park company paid just $123 million in taxes on foreign profits of $3.4 billion, an effective tax rate of just 3.6 precent, according to the report.
The regular tax rate on larger corporations in the UK is 21 percent, noted the International Business Times. Facebook was able to reduce its tax bill in the UK, at least, by paying its employees company shares and by shifting profits to the Cayman Islands, a notorious tax haven, the Sunday Times reported. The UK's Revenue & Customs office has been scrutinizing Facebook's tax records from 2010 to 2014.
Last week, the European Union announced it would investigate a deal Google reached with the UK to pay $186 million in back taxes after the Scottish National Party charged that it was unclear how the agreement was reached or whether it amounted to illegitimate "state aid" to the search giant. Meanwhile, Italy accused Google of avoiding 300 million in taxes there between 2008 and 2013.
A report last month by Barron's indicated that Apple may owe up to $8 billion in back taxes in Europe. The company's tax practices in the continent have been under scrutiny since 2014 as part of a larger investigation into corporate tax avoidance.

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is the leading new patterning technology that simplifies the manufacturing process for the most advanced chips with significant benefits in terms of yield and cycle time. It will help the semiconductor industry to continue Moore's Law well into the next decade by packing more transistors on a chip, reducing cost-per-function and improving energy efficiency.

Office worker with a love of treating myself but with a dislike of spending lots of money doing it - this site is perfect for me!
Was great value - and although the treatment I added was expensive it was very good. Was a bit crowded at one point in day but overall not too.bad. Cup cake and bucks fizz was added bonus.
Lets start with the problems first - this was offered as a spa day. If you ignore the gym the spa facilities consisted of a steam room and a sauna - not exactly what I would call a spa. However, on the positive the massage was extremely good, and the full hour. So, if you bought it as a treatment voucher and the rest came as a bonus you would probably be very happy, if you bought it as a spa day you probably wouldn't be. If it appears on Wahanda again, I think some careful consideration as to how it is marketed is important. But, after all, I enjoyed the massage which was the main thing.
I am somewhere between the two previous reviews. Not the best haircut of my life but definitely not the worst. The salon is not the smartest - but I gather they are going for a refubishment sometime soon. Major issue was I was ignored for quite a while when I got there (after being given a cup of tea) - and no apology for the fact they were running late. With the voucher it was good value, whether I would want to pay full price for same level of service is another thing.
Asked for, and got, a refund after a couple of months trying to book an appointment. I rang, emailed, filled in their booking form but still no joy. At the same time O Spa were still running offers on various sites, when it was obvious they couldn't cope with the vouchers already bought. Throughly disappointing experience and will not be trying to use them again
Haircut was OK though didn't cut off as much as I asked. Not sure what happened to the free hair treatment either as only appeared to wash my hair as normal but it was early on Saturday so maybe I was just asleep.
Good value with the voucher (and the ratings are based on the price I paid) but not sure I will be going back at full price
Great experience. Feet felt so much softer when I left. Not sure if that was down to the fish or the warm water but it doesn't matter as it was a truely relaxing experience. Don't be worried about the fish - it was strange for about the first minute and then it just became a relaxing, tingling sensation. Will definitely try and make it back sometime.

Edit Article
How to Find Casting Calls in New York
There is a ton of work out there for New York actors. Now how do you find it?
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1See a lot of theater. The more you know about the artistic goings-on of the Big Apple, the more you'll be in touch with what YOU want to do. So when you find those great auditions, you'll be ready.
2Know your resources. Go to the places in the know and look up daily casting calls, or purchase their bi- monthly magazine. Show Business Weekly is the oldest and most respected trade publication in New York. All of their information is updated constantly, and they are the go- to for details on agents, managers, casting directors, and theaters in and around the city.
3Find the audition and start preparing. Once you've found casting calls or auditions that you think you're right for, do as much research as possible. Find the play, know the casting director and theater company (if they are well known), and you can be assured that you're walking in with all the information. Knowledge = Confidence.

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about so-called "Pink Viagra"–which is actually flibanserin, a drug manufactured by the German pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim–that has shown promising results regarding the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder in women. HSDD is the loss of sexual thoughts, fantasies, and desire, and, I argued, this vague definition could be manipulated to encourage over-medicating.
I said this not because I don't think HSDD is real, but because I generally avoid taking pills when I don't have to, and encourage others to do the same. But sometimes, I need Advil. People I love very much are on Coumadin and Celexa and Lipitor and a ton of other stuff, and I'm glad, because they require it to be happy and healthy and, in some cases, to live. So if a woman is suffering from HSDD, and she believes flibanserin could help her have a better life, she should at least have it as an option.
But there's a weird debate raging over the drug, and, as Katrina vanden Heuvel points out in the Washington Post, it's based in some twisted sexist logic:
The assumption that pink Viagra is a scam is reactionary and, at worst, chauvinistic and cruel…There seems to be a sexual double standard at work here. Contrast the criticism of flibanserin with that leveled at Viagra upon its FDA approval a dozen years ago. In March 1998, press coverage focused far more on the drug's implications for Pfizer's stock price and on the parade of aging baby boomers expected to descend upon the dispensary than on the legitimacy of erectile dysfunction as a medical condition. Not so for Viagra's new analogue, which has been covered with considerably more skepticism.
She's right. True, we're a more pill-conscious society now than we were in 1998, with greater concern for whole foods and natural living–as we should be. Skepticism is warranted, and right. But that still doesn't account for the reaction to flibanserin.

Column: Noisy neighbors blow roof off Old Trafford
"He's crazy," City manager Roberto Mancini said. But as long as he scores like this, Balotelli's quirkiness will be secondary.
Mancini, as is customary, brought what he said was a "very good" bottle of wine from his native Italy to share with Ferguson after the game. For the Scotsman, it must have tasted as sour as vinegar.
"It was our worst ever day," Ferguson said. "It's the worst result in my history, ever. Even as a player I don't think I ever lost 6-1."
He added: "You have to recover. The history of Manchester United is 'another day' and we will recover. That kind of defeat will make an impact on the players."
One wouldn't expect anything less of Ferguson's players. But the reality is City now has a five-point league lead over United. Even though the season is still young, United could be chasing blue shirts from now until next May.
Those like European soccer boss Michel Platini who argue the massive deficit spending by clubs like City is a mortal danger to the sport's status quo and overall good health could point to this result, nod wisely, and feel vindicated. City fans could retort that United was long overdue to be knocked off its pedestal. Singing their hearts out in United's ground, they didn't care that this win was bought as much as it was earned.
But being able to purchase some of the world's best players as easily as a kid in a sweet shop is only part of why City is becoming so strong. A lot of the credit goes to Mancini, who is making his big name and big ego stars play and work together as a team. He could have come to Old Trafford looking for a draw, played it safe. Instead, he fielded an attacking lineup with both Balotelli and Sergio Aguero up front. Mancini said studying video of United had shown him that Ferguson's team this season often concedes opportunities to score.
United, vulnerable.
Those are not words that have been used often together in recent years.
That could be about to change.

Bill Pfeffer: An Artist Who Loves to Travel
Bill Pfeffer is a successful artist and aspiring travel writer who lives in Northern California.
In October of 2007, Bill and his wife Marge quit their jobs and headed off to Asia where they began a twelve month around the world adventure, notable by the fact that all travel was overland - from the island of Bali up to Beijing, across Mongolia and Russia on the train, down through Eastern Europe to Rome, then back up to The Netherlands, finally returning to America a year later on the Polish freighter Isadora.
Bill says "Not sure how long we'd even last, this voyage exceeded our expectations, brought a new perspective to our lives, and primed us for further explorations around the world."

Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat: Glorious and Inspiring
"Brand new Toyota. I'm not Mafia."
With this odd introduction, the handsome Cambodian with the Chiclet teeth shadowed our dusty trek down the stretch of landscape that connects the Thai town of Poipet to the Cambodian settlement of Aranyaprathet, a barren wasteland where beggars and touts compete in an outdoor gauntlet of destitution and opportunity.
Determined to travel around the world overland, we rejected the one-hour flight from Bangkok and opted to hire a private car to Siem Reap. Shielding my eyes while shooing away flies, I jealously traced the jet trail above, and questioned the wisdom of this decision. Read more...
Znojmo: Czech Out Moravia
Znojmo, Czech Republic
If Znojmo were any more anonymous, the Federal Witness Protection Program would stash all their people here. In fact, it would not surprise me to discover Jimmy Hoffa running the pension next to our hotel.
Not even mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide, Znojmo is an inconspicuous and little visited destination apart from the trendy and popular towns of Prague and Cesky Krumlov.
Three hours south of Prague, and an hour and a half north of Vienna, this spotless village in the Czech Republic territory of Moravia flirts with its neighbor Austria in the midst of a burgeoning wine industry, content with neglect and comfortable being overlooked as a tourist stopover.
