Hi all,
We are thinking of either going to WDW in sept or Nov next year.
I would love to see the Christmas decorations. Just wondering what it like in November? Is there anything that would be closed?

I really rate November/early december very highly indeed.
Depending on the dates, Christmas decorations will be up but yet it will be as quiet as you're going to see Disney (other than Jan/feb which I think is a bit of a boring time).
The weather is milder, sun not so uncompromisingly harsh but the evenings can get quite chilly and unpredictable, so layers usually the way to go.
Some dinner shows may not proceed if it's particularly cold, can be a problem with the luau in particular.
There's the Mickeys Christmas party which I feel has lost a lot of its spirit but still worth a go.
September/October have the Halloween party which is even better although a bit more afternoon rainstormy in my experience.
Still, both periods are great

Yep, avoid the week of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. Just after that holiday and early in December are fabulous times to visit. The decorations and all the Christmas shows/events/etc. are up and running as of Thanksgiving so you get the full feel without all the chaos of the actual week of Christmas.
Hope that helps a bit!

Environment and Trade
Eve Hamilton. Eve Hamilton edits the Policy Focus series on US-third-world issues ., The Christian Science Monitor
AN agreement on the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations would be a critical step toward improving the economic well-being of farmers in the developing world and saving its deteriorating farm lands. It also would bring environmental and economic benefits to the United States.
Every day millions of poor farmers are forced to make an unenviable decision - protect the productivity of the land for future generations or over-exploit the land in order to feed their children today. Not surprisingly, the environment is generally the loser. The results are devastating and felt worldwide.
Global warming, fueled by deforestation, could cause dramatic weather shifts and a rise in sea levels around the world, both with dire economic consequences. And the loss of biological diversity may destroy the chances of discovering new pharmaceuticals and other useful products.
Environmental degradation in developing countries often occurs because they lack the financial resources to protect land. Governments not only lack the means of teaching farmers to use environmentally sustainable methods, but, desperate for foreign exchange to service debt, they create incentives that encourage deforestation.
A destructive cycle is perpetuated: Land is depleted and abandoned for more productive land, which is itself eventually depleted and abandoned. Sustainable development - using resources responsibly today so they will be available in the future - requires a long-term outlook and adequate financial resources. Many developing countries lack both.
Agricultural trade liberalization, one goal of the Uruguay Round, would open new markets to developing countries. These markets could provide financial resources for developing countries to pursue sustainable development. Liberalization would also benefit the US, which already conducts at least one-third of its trade with developing countries and could export much more to healthier economies.
Removing trade barriers in developed countries would generate significant income for developing countries. US protectionism in the sugar industry alone now costs developing countries roughly $800 million annually. The new revenues could be used to maintain the productivity of land and to prevent permanent land degradation.
TRADE liberalization would also allow many developing countries to diversify their agriculture. Their dependence on environmentally destructive traditional cash crops such as cotton and cassava, as well as cattle ranching, could be reduced in favor of tree crops, fruits, vegetables, cut flowers, and other more environmentally benign products.
The current system of price supports, subsidies, and import barriers in industrial countries distorts global agricultural production and denies financial resources to developing countries. …

He makes Harry Sinden look like a push over when he ran the bruins. Could Lou have had another disagreement with Julien and used the excuse that the team wasn't ready to win in the playoffs, even though the devils had a good record?

Julien got a lot out of the Habs who were not a terribly talented bunch the year they knocked the B's out. There is no doubt he's fiery! He had his team seeing red over the McLaren hit, which he used to get his team flying, and they basically took over the series from there.
At least there will be some life behind the bench. Not sure what went on with Lamoriello, but he fires all his coaches late in the season so he can be the hero.
I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.... what choice do we have. Whining and crying because we didn't bring nutjob Milbury back isn't gonna do any good. As far as toughness goes, I remember him discouraging the team from fighting one year, and Keith Crowder looked like a dope turtling. Cherry went on a rant against Milbury on his hockey show...... No, we don't need Mike back.

Honestly, who cares about the Bruins! The franchise is a joke. 16 coaches in 30 years and 0 cups. That says it all. I haven't bought a ticket since Bourque left and won't be anytime soon. The mark of a good franchise in any sport starts with ownership and JJ couldn't care less about the sport. So why should we??

We're not going to win squat, until we are able to get good ownership. The "Jacobs" are cheap son's of b****** and have no class. They only look at the bottom line and don't give a rat's a** about this team. They took an original six franchise and made then a laughing- stock in one of the only great hockey cities left. Can anyone say pre- lockout player dumping? Let's hope we can get some good players in there and let Claude do the job he's brought in to do. Let's get back to the days when we were feared, rather than the team everyone wants to play to get in the win column. Hey Jacobs family....YOU SUCK!

Do you really want to watch the same style of play that the Devils played last year, I don't. I thought I was bored with Lewis' style, I think I will be bored even more with this. It seams Chiarelli is trying to bring too much of a defensive trap system to Bruins but he should realize with the people he has that this team should be geared for a more offensive style. I hope Julien realizes this

Amen, brother!
All conversation about this subject should begin with the owners who make all the "major" decisions (and all the concession money).They know nothing about putting together and keeping a true championship team. They issue funny quotes like "we feel we have what it takes to make a competitive team." In this case "competitive" means just showing up and drawing people in the seats, not being a winner. If you find fault with their lack of insight or ability to inspire and reward adequately you get a chance to go play with a real team. Just ask Adam Oates, Byron Dafoe, Kyle McLaren and Jumbo Joe for starters.
This past week I heard baby Jacobs say something like it will be an "entertaining" team...
"Entertaining?" Like the Charleston Chiefs? Gimme a huge break.
Mike Illich once offered Sergei Federov a $10 Million bonus if the Wings won the cup.

Last year I said I think they may really be getting better prior to the season. What a disappointment. The bozos in the organization who think winkie hockey is the way to go are so far off that they have no chance if they dont get some toughness onto this team. Quality players surrounded by a couple of crash and fight guys is how you win. Forget the ice capades, it does not work. Again, they need to prove they are worthy of Bruins fans.

Does anyone know what the problem was with Julien in NJ? It seems ludicrous to me that a) the team would fire him when he'd coached them to a winning record and a place in the playoffs; and b) that the Bruins would HIRE a guy who'd been let go under those circumstances.
One other thing: The Bruins are now the banana republic of pro sports. Used to be this was the Patriots' main claim to fame, but now the Bruins have taken over. Pick a f****** coach and stick with him!!

The Bruins are always looking for a scapegoat. They shipped allof here good players out of town and they became stars for others. Mariz chesercowsky, Sami paulson, Jumbo Joe, Kyle McLaren, need I go on. They blamed poor Blane Lacher when he was in reality a shooting gallery duck - no defense in front of him, Blamed Byron Defoe. Got rid of numerous coaches and thry're still pitiful.
Then they bring in Charelli and he blows his first coaching appointment. Then comes in wiith this guy. I think he should start out revamping his scouting infrastucture and go from there. But first he has to fire JJ and his son. There the reason the bruins got into this mess.
Then lets fire the commisioner any idiot that would make a deal so you hjhave to have the outsdoor network to see hocket games has got to be an idiot.

A dead organization in an almost dead sport.
No one cares.
The owner has no idea what the sport is about and does not know how to hire the right people. Chirelli is terrible. His decision process has been terrible. Those he hires are going to be based on terrible decisions, and therefore will be the wrong people.
Bad move hiring this guy, too. Fired from two first place teams? Hidden baggage.
Pat Burns would have been the best move.

"They shipped allof here good players out of town and they became stars for others. Mariz chesercowsky, Sami paulson, Jumbo Joe, Kyle McLaren, need I go on."
That'd quite a list of "stars". The only star on there is Joe. McLaren was a good player here and is a good player in SJ, but by no means is he a star. As for Czerkowsky, again a good player with some offensive talent, but not a star. Paulson, thats just flat out funny. The one that irritates me the most is Knuble, although now without Joe he would be a large, slow offensively challenged forward. Had they retained him Joe would not have been traded, and they would have had a mush better team. They made up one solid first line.
The biggest problem with the B's is drafting and player development. Joe was their last great draft choice (#1 overall I think). Sammy was fun to watch but was never star quality. Since then they have drafted one exciting player in Kessell. Other than that there have a bunch of good players (and some not so good), but nothing to show for it. This new coach will be ok. I personally think that with all the y'guns up here from Providence that Scott Gordon (who has been successful with Prov) was a better choice. Oh well.

Growing up, I learned hockey from three people: My Dad, Cam Neely, and Ray Bourque.
I learned that if you played hard nosed hockey, played your position, and played with intensity, you could make the playoffs and do some damage.
I also learned that for several seasons in the late 80s and early 90s, heartbreakingly, that the B's were the second best team in the NHL.
The only thing I wanted as a kid was to see a Bruins game at the Garden. I asked for tickets every Christmas and birthday, but they weren't available, couldn't be had for a king's ransom.
Today, I'd be hard pressed to raise a son as a Bruins fan. You want passion, grit, intensity, and winning spirit? Watch Hockey East. What MIAA HS Hockey. For God's sake, walk into any rink in MA and watch the mighty-mites.
The Bruins are a distant fourth team in this town. The Sox and Pats dominate year round as news stories. The Pats weren't even on TV when I was growing up because of all the blackouts. Just goes to show what no plan, no effort, and no desire gets you.
Don't go to the Shawmut/Fleet/Bank of America/TD Banknorth Garden folks. It's not getting us any where.
Ineptitude. It's called Bruins.
Hey, at least the new Unis are nice!

Tag archives for opioids
These days, there's a lot of attention on finding new and creative ways to turn around the nation's opioid abuse and overdose problem. And it's attention that's very much needed because the problem is only getting worse.
Every day in the U.S., more than 40 people die after overdosing on prescription painkillers. Deaths from a more notorious form of opiates — heroin — increased five-fold between 2001 and 2013. Addressing this problem — one that's often described as a public health crisis — requires action on many fronts, from preventing abuse in the first place to getting those addicted into treatment. But when it comes to overdoses, there's one answer we know works: naloxone.
A Q&A with public health leaders on the opioid epidemic: 'Prescription opioid abuse is still raging out of control'
While pharmaceutical companies are making billions in painkiller profits, it's the public sector that ends up bearing the burden and cost of the fallout that accompanies skyrocketing sales of highly addictive prescription opioids. After the jump is a Pump Handle Q&A with two public health officials at the forefront of the opioid abuse epidemic within America's big cities.
When it comes to substance abuse disorders, public health and the public at-large are hardly on the same page — in fact, they're not even reading the same book. And that's a serious problem for sustaining and strengthening efforts to treat addiction and advancing effective public health policy.
"If you really look at how pain affects people and what it means to have pain…you start to view it more as a social phenomenon." These are words from Dr. Daniel Carr, who says the time for a population-based approach doesn't begin with misuse and abuse of prescription painkillers; it begins, in fact, with how we interpret the contributors to pain in the first place.
Public health takes on the opioid abuse and overdose problem, building on strengths as conveners, educators
A decade ago, only about 10 percent of the patients at Cincinnati's Center for Chemical Addictions Treatment were admitted for opioid addiction and abuse. During the treatment center's last fiscal year, that number was up to 64 percent. The numbers reflect a startling trend in Ohio and throughout the nation — a trend that public health workers are taking to task.
Since 2000, overdose deaths due to prescription painkillers in Utah have increased by more than 400 percent. By 2006, more Utahans were losing their lives to prescription drug overdoses than to motor vehicle crashes. For Dr. Lynn Webster, a longtime pain management physician, the startling numbers were a call to action.

Cynthia Watson and Constantine Danopoulos
Standing armies are one of the most visible and powerful forms of social organization associated in the West with the evolution and consolidation of the modern nation-state. In eastern-bloc countries, the armed forces helped to keep Communist parties in power and played a role in the downfall of Marxist- Leninist regimes and the democratization of these societies. In the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, the armed forces intervened, directly or indirectly, in the political affairs of many developing or changing communities of the Third World; this was followed by a wave of withdrawal and disengagement from the levers of political power.
The end of the Cold War has often been described in terms of its effects on nation-states or on governments within nation-states. Far too little emphasis has been placed on the impact that this sea change in world affairs has had on militaries around the world. Although many armed forces see their roles as precisely the same today as in 1975 or 1980, for a significant number of militaries the change has been as fundamental as for the world at large. Indeed, military changes have led to dramatic modifications in society at large. Similarly, societal transformations have resulted in a reconsideration of the armed services as members of societies across the world.
Yet this commonsense perception of the changing world since 1989 ignores the important role of the military in society regardless of the Cold War. For many societies, the Cold War enhanced the role of the military, but did not create a radically different one. In a number of countries, the military has historically been a path for advancement into different social strata. In others, the military has channelled men who were not going to become landholders into a more productive enterprise. In still others, the military has been a key political and social player as a corporation, acting as a single body with a collective interest. In sum, armed forces across the world have played various roles in societies, fulfilling multifaceted interpretations of "defense" requirements.

Things to do
Click here for a full list of attractions and activities in our area
Key attractions in Padstow include the National Lobster Hatchery, The Camel Trail and Prideaux Place.
We have a different beach for every day of the week. Beaches are a fun place to be whatever the weather. Check out the link above to our beaches guide.
Boat Trips
There are a variety of boat trips available from Padstow Harbour. With the exception of the Jubilee Queen and speed boats all need to be booked in advance. There are 4 mackerel fishing boats operating from Padstow. You can book them from Padstow Angling Centre.
Crabbing is a very cheap and very entertaining way to spend the afternoon, regardless of your age. Crab lines and bait can be bought from many of the shops around the harbour including Padstow Angling Centre. The inner harbour is the best place to catch them. Drop a baited line into the water and wait for the baby crabs to bite. Put them in a bucket of sea water then put them back into the harbour when you're done. The crabs bite readily, they seem to realise its an easy way to a free meal! N.B. Padstow is a working harbour and you are not advised to crab from any of the slipways or steps that have boats working from them e.g. the ferry slip.
We are proud of the churches in our area. Padstow's is the second largest in Cornwall and has recently been resotred. St Enodoc, once buried in the sand, is unique and has stunning views across the estuary. All run fund raising events thoughout the year.
Eighteen miles of the disused Padstow to Waterloo railway line have been turned into a cycle track and walkway. Known as The Camel Trail, after the River Camel that it follows, the Trail is very popular with visitors, walkers and bird watchers alike. You can buy cycle maps for the Camel Trail and other Cornwall Trails from Padstow TIC.
Padstow is great for sea angling both from the cliffs and from boats. You need to get a fishing permit from either Padstow Angling Centre or Padstow Harbour office before you can fish. Although it is a free permit, it is a requirement.
Fun Parks
The nearest fun park to Padstow is Cornwall's Crealy which is between Padstow, Wadebridge and Newquay. Children's TV characters regularly visit during school holidays. Check our events page for details.
Cornwall is lucky to have a mild climate and as such the garden's in Cornwall are quite unique. As well as having some great gardens in our area, there are plenty more less than an hour's drive Cornwall's premier garden is the Eden Project which is 20 miles from Padstow. A visit to this, one of Cornwall's and the UK's premier horticultural attractions is a must and discounted advance tickets can be purchased from Padstow Tourist Information Centre.
There are several outstanding coastal links and parkland courses in the surrounding area. You can also try your hand at Green's Crazy Golf with its great view of the Harbour.

Tennis Courts and Play Area
The town tennis courts and children's play area are at The Lawns Car Park, Padstow. Pay for the courts in the adjacent Padstow Social Club.
The area is great for walking and what variety! The SW Coast Path passes right alongside as it wends its way through Padstow on its journey northwards towards Hartland Point and west to Land's End and beyond. This truly spectacular national footpath attracts walkers from all over the country whether out for an afternoon stroll or just passing through as they attempt the complete (or part) 360 miles route. And if the Coast Path is not what you are looking for there are several other walks in and around the town. The Padstow Circular Walk is a fine example. Starting at the harbour, the 7 miles (10km) walk takes in a huge variety of interesting scenery from the estuary sands to the exposed headland and the rolling green fields that are such a prominent feature of the area. You can walk the coastal path on both sides as well as the Camel Trail and the Saint's Way which, as the name suggests, is an ancient route connecting Padstow with the port of Fowey on the South Coast.
The 'Padstow Circular Walk' Guide and Saint's Way Guide are on sale at Padstow Tourist Information Centre together with Ordnance Survey maps and a good selection of books about local walks and footpaths.
Waterborne Activites
The Camel Estuary has excellent water sports facilities - sailing, surfing, water-skiing, kayaking, wind & kite surfing, paddle boarding, coasteering, wake boarding and banana boating are all available locally. Please note that you need to talk to the Harbour Master in Padstow before launching your own vessel anywhere on the Camel Estuary. Jet Skiing is prohibited on the estuary.

In response to SFBostonFan's comment:
Madden didn't want to give any credit to the Sox---said it was the "quirky start" & I'm sure it was the double behind Longria who played in to stop the bunt and might have caught it. What he really infered is we got a lot of lucky breaks. He only gave credit to Ortiz. Look, last night, had Meyers caught that ball & we didn't score 5, had the game continued as it did, we'd won 7-2 instead of 12-2. Amen.
Madden, we're looking forward to game 3. OK, got to root for A's...I want Sox out here to watch some games & hope to drive to tinsel town too to watch us beat the Dodgers.
Agreed. I noticed that too. That stupid smug attitude is part of why I cant stand him. Just how many championships exactly has he won as a manager?
He was making excuses while being interviewed during the game. I have no respect for the man.
He has his players attending pajama parties while dressed in their jammies. That isjust plain weird

Beyond that, it is a home to several man-made and natural attractions that draw in thousands of local and foreign tourist all year round. One of the most well-known landmarks is the Lingyun Tower.
Things to Do
Despite the harsh China winters before the end of the 1700s, the Yiyang locals busied themselves with melting coins in order to extract granite. They hauled more than 150,000 blocks, poured in coal, and designed what is now a monument that is proof of their culture and reverence: the Lingyun Tower.
The stone tower is designed like a hollow pavilion. Standing at more than 33 meters in height, it is composed of 7 floors all connected via a spiral staircase. Carefully preserved by the government, it has undergone a couple of renovations to ensure the base and the stairs remain sturdy. It has been whitewashed to bring back its old physical glory.
The tallness of the tower allows tourists to admire it from afar, but the best experience is obtained by climbing up the stairs. Every floor except the first is composed of two pairs of doors found in different directions as well as windows adorned with various designs. The first floor bears the name of the tower, featuring three characters. A long time ago, too, an ox on every side of the door used to "guard" the structure.
On top, the Lingyun Tower provides a breathtaking vista of the nearby Dongting Lake, also considered another natural relic of Yiyang, as it hosted the very first dragon boat race in the country and is now home to an endangered species known as finless porpoise. The lake, on most days, boasts of its placid sparkling waters and boats loaded with curious tourists or fisherfolk. You are also free to catch some fish, though there are small seafood cafes and restaurants that serve true-blue Chinese cuisines.
From the Dongting Lake, you can also see another man-made marvel called Zhenjiang Tower. Standing at around 23 meters, it closely resembles Lingyun with its seven floors and octagonal shape.
Aside from Dongting Lake, Yiyang is also home to the Yuanjiang River, which serves as a passageway for ships of commerce. Plenty of Chinese tours within the area can also give you access through a nice river cruise. Another impressive river is Taohua, also called Peach Blossom. It spans more than 4 kilometers and passes through magnificent landscapes that define the region. The Rogue Lake, meanwhile, is populated by over 100 marine species including ice fish, black carps, white eels, and Mandarin fish. As the lake is divided into two zones, less-experienced swimmers can take a dip in the shallow lake bed near the shore.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
The train is one of the most effective methods of transport to Yiyang. There is a huge junction located in the northern portion of Hunan. The city itself has more than 3 railways. For those who are coming from Shanghai , they can take buses that pass through Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quzhou, and Changsha. Car driving takes around 13 hours while bus commuting is 16 hours.
Ticket Price:
Opening Hours:
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
More Tips:
As a show of respect, do not litter around or inside the Lingyun Tower. When climbing up, make sure that you can properly secure your footing or hold on to something solid to keep yourself steady. The tower may not be advisable to those who have fear of heights. Expect slight dizziness when you're already on top.

Brendon Spencer, shown here at home, used to be secluded on a regular basis at his old elementary school.
Ohio schools now have a set of guidelines to follow when it comes to their use of seclusion rooms and restraints.
The state Board of Education passed a policy regulating seclusion and restraint at their board meeting today by a 12-4 vote.
Seclusion rooms are small rooms used to isolate students. Restraints are when a student is held down in some way.
They're supposed to be reserved for students who pose a physical threat.
But an investigation by StateImpact Ohio and the Columbus Dispatch last year found they are often used to punish students who misbehave.
The policy has been in the works for several years.
[audio href="http://audio2.ideastream.org/statenews/2010/0108_sec_and_rest_policy_app..." title="State Board of Education Approves Seclusion and Restraint Policy"]The policy will provide public, non-charter schools with guidelines on how to use seclusion and restraint.[/audio]
[related_content align="right"]"It certainly gives some structure and some guidelines on how they can use seclusion rooms and use restraint within their school district," Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton says about the policy. "I think in the past there's been a lack of policy, and lack of guidance provided.
The policy says schools should notify parents if their children are secluded or restrained, and schools should note the event in a child's file.
The Department of Education can request that data, but it won't be public.
Charter schools are exempt from the entire policy.
The policy is non-binding, though the Board will consider a set of regulations in the spring that schools would have to follow.
You can read the entire policy below.

Targeted Program Can Delay Onset of Drinking
Sullivan, Michele G., Clinical Psychiatry News
CHICAGO -- An intervention that allows at-risk adolescents to explore the strengths and weaknesses of their individual personalities can delay the onset of risky drinking for at least 6 months, possibly decreasing the growth of alcohol use later in the teen years.
Patricia Conrod, Ph.D., developed different programs for each of four personality types who manifest a high risk of early-onset drinking and substance abuse: sensation-seeking, negative thinking, anxiety-sensitivity, and impulsivity. The manualized program, delivered in school and consisting of two 90-minute sessions, was so effective that it prevented early-onset drinking in 50% of the sensation-seeking group and in one of every four of those who participated overall, Dr. Conrod said at the annual meeting of the Research Society for Alcoholism.
"I believe that because each intervention targeted a dominant personality trait for each adolescent, the students experienced the interventions as meaningful and relevant," Dr. Conrod said in an interview. "They told us that this is the first time that they have ever spoken about their emotions and are considering for the first time the notion that they have personal control over their emotional reactions and behavior."
Furthermore, she said, the young people found it helpful to learn that others were struggling with similar issues.
Dr. Conrod, a clinical lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, first developed the program in Canada, where it proved similarly successful in a study of 300 high school students with a mean age of 16 years (J. Clin. Child Adolesc. Psychol. 2006;35:550-63). The current study examined the program's effect in younger students (mean age 14 years).
More than 2,600 students in 13 London high schools completed the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale, which assesses the four dimensions of personality that are linked to different motivations for drug use and misuse. Those who scored more than one standard deviation above the school mean on one of the personality risk subscales were randomized to either the intervention group corresponding with their personality type, or to no intervention except standard drug education.
The final study group comprised 348 students. The intervention groups received the two 90-minute in-school sessions. The manuals contained real-life experiences shared by other high-risk youth of that personality. The first session included goal-setting exercises to explore personality and ways of coping with it; psychoeducational strategies teaching students about their personality and associated problematic coping behaviors; and cognitive-behavioral exercises.
The second session involved discussion of personality-specific cognitive distortions that resulted in problematic behavior. The negative thinking group focused on challenging negative thoughts; the anxiety-sensitivity group explored catastrophic thoughts; the impulsivity group focused on aggressive thinking and acting without thought; and the sensation-seekers examined reward seeking and boredom susceptibility.
The control group received the standard drug education sessions contained in the national curriculum.
All students reported their alcohol use at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. All of the control groups except for the impulsivity group demonstrated an increase in drinking between 6 and 12 months. …

A roundup of what to do, where to go and where to eat in Portland.
What do people say about Portland, Seattle's neighbor to the south?
"One of America's best walking towns" (Walking magazine). "So green you could serve it as a side dish" (Outside). "Cool, quirky style, surprisingly affordable" (Budget Travel). "One of the top 10 cat-friendly cities in America" (CATalyst Council).
OK, so the accolades are getting a little wacky. But you get the idea. Portland is a much-loved city, celebrated for its locally sourced food and wine scene, its vibrant downtown, its walkable neighborhoods and laid-back vibe.
Here are some tips for your next visit.

Getting around
No need for a car since you can get just about anywhere on the city's easy-to-use public-transit system. Take an Amtrak train to Portland, then walk or hop on the MAX light-rail system (travel throughout the downtown area is free) or the Portland Streetcar, which links the downtown Cultural District, Pearl District and Nob Hill/Northwest neighborhoods, the Portland State University campus and the RiverPlace neighborhood overlooking the Willamette River. All-day fare: $2.05.
What to do
Stop in at the visitors center in Pioneer Courthouse Square for info on city attractions, and by all means do the biggies: the Portland Saturday Market (a giant arts and crafts fair that actually runs 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Sunday, March through December), the Lan Su Chinese Garden, the Portland Art Museum, etc. Bookaholics should add the legendary Powell's City of Books to that list.
Also, allow plenty of time to walk or bike around town. One popular trail: the 1.5-mile pedestrian and bicycle path in Tom McCall Waterfront Park, with great views of the city's skyline and access to four of the bridges that cross the Willamette River. Bike rental info: www.waterfrontbikes.com.
The neighborhoods
Get to know the city's neighborhoods: the Cultural District for parks and public art, Nob Hill/Northwest for trendy boutiques (no sales tax!), the Pearl District for restaurants, wine bars and galleries. Marcus Hibdon, of TravelPortland.com, especially likes the Mississippi Avenue area in the northeast portion of the city. "It was a bit of a down-and-out neighborhood that has gone through a rebirth," he said, and it's notable for its "great collection of food carts," restaurants and shops. One store to seek out there: The Meadow, which specializes in chocolate, flowers, wine and hundreds of kinds of salt, and offers frequent tastings and classes (3731 N. Mississippi Ave., 888-388-4633, www.atthemeadow.com). A salted-caramel class, anyone?
Where to eat
You've got some tough choices to make, but here are some suggestions to get you started.
• According to a readers' survey at PortlandFoodandDrink.com ("Throwing ourselves on the grenade of bad food to save you"), two excellent choices are Laurelhurst Market (3155 E. Burnside St., 503-206-3097, www.laurelhurstmarket.com), a butcher-shop-cum-steakhouse, and Metrovino (1139 N.W. 11th Ave., 503-517-7778, www.metrovinopdx.com), featuring "refined yet rustic" fare.
• Two intimate, romantic spots recommended by TravelPortland's Hibdon: Castagna, whose Spanish-trained chef, Matt Lightner, was named a Best New Chef of 2010 by Food & Wine magazine (1752 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd., 503-231-7373, castagnarestaurant.com); and DOC, specializing in Northern Italian cuisine (5519 N.E. 30th Ave., 503-946-8592, www.docpdx.com).
• Check The Oregonian (www.oregonlive.com/dining) and Portland Monthly (www.portlandmonthlymag.com) for more reviews and for a vegetarian guide, see www.vegportland.com.
• The Portland Streetcar site has a "Ride & Dine" map locating restaurants near streetcar stops: www.portlandstreetcar.org/node/34.
About those food carts: Portland is famous for them, and we're not talking hot-dog stands. See www.foodcartsportland.com for a guide to literally hundreds of carts selling everything from traditional Thai street food to Japanese Domo dogs to pork confit sandwiches.
Finally, don't leave the city without sampling a locally made drink.
And we don't just mean microbrews and wine, although you should certainly try those: Start with an award-winning ale at BridgePort BrewPub (1313 N.W. Marshall St., 503-241-3612, www.bridgeportbrew.com) or a pinot noir from a Willamette Valley winery (see www.willamettewines.com for info on tastings and tours). But you can also knock back a blue-plum brandy and other spirits made from Oregon fruit at Clear Creek Distillery (2389 N.W. Wilson St., 503-248-9470, clearcreekdistillery.com); an espresso at the revered Stumptown Coffee Roasters (several locations, www.stumptowncoffee.com); or an oolong at Smith Teamaker (1626 N.W. Thurman St., 503-719-8752, www.smithtea.com), where Tazo founder Steven Smith crafts small batches of high-quality blends.

Skip to comments.Mexican Officials Promote Illegal Entry Into U.S
Posted on 12/16/2005 6:14:08 PM PST by Icelander
Mexican officials in the U.S. and abroad are involved in massive and almost daily interference in American c, according to a blistering new report.
"Mexican consulates are engineering a backdoor amnesty for their illegal migrants and trying to discredit American immigration enforcement activities clearly beyond diplomatic bounds, Heather MacDonald writes in the Dallas Morning News.
MacDonald says Mexico is "shameless in promoting illegal entry into the U.S., citing these examples:
The Mexican government publishes and distributes a comic book-style guide on breaching the border safely and evading detection once in the U.S.
Mexican officials ordered their consulates to promote the matricula consular card as a way for illegal aliens to obtain privileges that the U.S. usually reserves for legal residents. The consulates started aggressively lobbying American officials and banks to accept matriculas as valid IDs for driver's licenses, checking accounts and other benefits. Since 2000, more than 4.7 million of these cards have been issued. But only Mexicans who are in this country illegally need such identification - legal aliens already have sufficient documentation to get driver's licenses and bank accounts.
Mexico's own regulations require that all exits from the country go through established crossing points. Decades ago, Mexico enforced that rule. Now, Mexicans are allowed to cross wherever they want.
The Mexican government paid for the legal representation of a Mexican alien in New Hampshire charged with criminal trespass for being in a place without legal authority. That is another departure from traditional diplomatic practice, "which forbids interference in a host country's judicial process unless it is patently unfair, MacDonald writes.
Mexico's consuls are adopting a "disparate impact" theory that holds that any police action is invalid if it impacts illegal Mexicans, even if that action has nothing to do with immigration.
For example, in July the Mexican consul general in New York City loudly protested when Suffolk County, Long Island, officials evicted more than 100 illegal aliens whose dangerously overcrowded housing violated fire and safety codes.
Since 1990, Mexico has supported a number of initiatives to import Mexican culture into the U.S. For one thing, each of Mexico's 47 consulates in the U.S. has a mandate to introduce Mexican textbooks into schools that have a sizeable Hispanic population. MacDonalds report states: "After demanding that we educate their surplus citizens, give those citizens food stamps, deliver their babies, provide them with doctors and hospital beds and police their neighborhoods, the Mexican government also expects us to help preserve their loyalty to Mexico.
"Mexico's governing class is not content simply to unload the victims of its failed policies on the U.S. It also tries to ensure that migrants retain allegiance to La Patria, so as to preserve the $16 billion in remittances that they send to Mexico each year.
"The Mexican government will push to control as much U.S. immigration policy as it can.
"Given the American public's swelling anger about illegal immigration, it's past time for Washington to tell Mexico to cease interfering and for the Bush administration to start enforcing the law.
I'm afraid to comment about this.
At least Mexico and Washington DC are in complete agreement..
gracias Jorge
Though this says as much, "After demanding that we educate their surplus citizens, give those citizens food stamps, deliver their babies, provide them with doctors and hospital beds and police their neighborhoods, the Mexican government also expects us to help preserve their loyalty to Mexico."
So asking Mexicorruption to stop meddling is like asking your dog to stop drinking out of the toilet. Forget about it. It's what they do.
American citizens promote immediate and irreversible repatriation of illegal aliens.
"Mu peasants are so stupid, they'll believe anything."
Why is this not an act of war.
LOL, you can count the pixels in those, if you really care to!
This is absolutely a ridiculous situation we have put up with for way too long!We can go to war to promote and protect another country's people to sovereignty,but we WILL NOT keep our own!Not only Mexicans,but 20 million other imigrants our politicians have opened our borders to.Bringing religions and building Mosques w/idols and hating Americans and,not afraid to say so by boldly displaying their contempt.Last month,Paris and France burned.Our leaders do have a plan though--it won't be to stop this massive invasion.It is to integrate Mexico and Canada and the US into ONE! I scratch my head and say"Now there's a solution,why didn't I think of that?"
Here's an eye opener to what America will be like very shortly and what we'll leave to our children and grandchildren if the fire of imigration is not put out immediately.
This is going to sound nutty, but I had a overly realistic dream about fifteen years ago that we had a war with Mexico over the border. We invaded 'em. Whenever I hear people call for our US military to be placed on the border, I get the weebie-geebies.
And why? This is the one thing I can't grasp. Their government treats them horribly, exports them like any good commodity. And yet, so many scream, "Mother Mexico!", "go back to Europe, Gringo!" , and wave the Mexican Flag. On our soil. How can they be so loyal to such monsters? It's like a battered wife syndrome. And when they're treated well here, they want MORE. Always more. It's the same amazement as I watch suicide bombers. What insanity propels them?
It is not uncommon for illegals to have several of those ID's in different names.
"I'm afraid to comment about this."
Me too. Saying what I would really like to do would get me banned. Eventually we are going to have to have a war with Mexico over this.

There are other vital issues, of course- but these three will determine just who we really are as a nation.
You nailed it.
The following is from the article of Heather MacDonald's that is referenced by Carl Limbacher.
Mexican politicians are even starting to allege that American responses to illegal immigration in the U.S. are a violation of Mexico's sovereignty.
This August, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency in four counties bordering Mexico, because of violence and devastation wrought by trafficking in aliens and drugs. City council members from the Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez branded Richardson's declaration an interference in Mexico's domestic affairs.
Mexico's Undiplomatic Diplomats
By Heather MacDonald - November 1, 2005
I'll look for her reports on home town associations. The corrupt government of Mexiso's consulate employees help establish hundreds of them here. The HTA's are important links to all levels of corrupt government entities and Mexico's nonresident citizens living here.
The HTAs help collect "group remittances" which are important sources of revenue for all levels of corrupt government entities in Mexico.
Not surprising many nonresident citizens of Mexico living here avoid the HTA "group remittances" becase the HTAs often are corrupt.
Those who have not read Ms MacDonald, et al. may want to.
RE: "Mexican politicians are even starting to allege that American responses to illegal immigration in the U.S. are a violation of Mexicos sovereignty"
Are they nuts?
Well, OK but also consider this.
Why is it happening? Sure the poor looking for work or better paying jobs. Most think that ending our "sanctuary for illegals" will solve the problem but it's bigger than most think. Ms MacDonald:
Mexicos five-year development plan in 1995 announced that the "Mexican nation extends beyond . . . its border" -- into the United States.
nearly 60 percent of Mexican respondents polled by Zogby in 2001 said that the southwestern U.S. really belongs to Mexico
The two are different. The latter is a whole nother matter and leads to Palestinian-homeland thinking of radical Islam's Hispanic comrades in-arms. The former is pure arrogance. It's what Mexico's corrupt government has always done. It's what they do.
Then there's the economics. Another whole nother matter.
the economics aspect of "cheap labor." That's where the rubber really meets the road!
no one can dispute the importance of the remittances for the corrupt government of Mexico.
I don't think it can be settled peacefully. That's an opinion not something that I advocate.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
Our "elected ones" seem to think that we, the taxpayers, owe it to Mexico to spend billions of our dollars on their castoffs. I don't remember voting on that, do you?
"....blistering new report"?
Where's this guy been hiding..
Vinny Phocks supports this BS policy 100% and makes no bones about it.
I'm almost ready to believe that something WILL happen beyond words and give-aways.
We are often told by the minority open border lobby that the president has no power on anything to do with immigration.
Heres just one thing the president could do,if he was so inclined, to help stop the bleeding. He could repeal this executive order that costs the federal government a fortune in translation services.
Executive Order 13166
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to improve access to federally conducted and federally assisted programs and activities for persons who, as a result of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency (LEP), it is hereby ordered as follows:
To assist the agencies with this endeavor, the Department of Justice has today issued a general guidance document (LEP Guidance), which sets forth the compliance standards that recipients must follow to ensure that the programs and activities they normally provide in English are accessible to LEP persons and thus do not discriminate on the basis of national origin......

Yet, I have a neighbor who came here nine years ago (I assume legally. we have only known him two years), speaks a type of Spanglish and has asked if I would like to teach he and his wife English (his grandkids speak English well. they would be much better at it than I would with my high school Spanish). He keeps his home immaculate and has told my children that he really likes America.
Old Mexico Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
It will if you put pressure on your Senator. They are employed by you. Let them know that they can be un-employed very quickly. Spread the word and call them. You just watched the House of Representatives pee all over themselves in getting this border security bill passed. Know why? Because their phones were ringing off the hook. Get after em or forever hold your peace because you will never have another opportunity like the one that is presented to you now. Call your Senator even if you know they are pro-illegal. Let em know that you are holding them accountable in no uncertain terms.
GW has given away our beautiful America. It may be too late to get it back. GW is the worse thing to happen to our country in it's history -- IMHO.
The issue of the illegals started long before GWB. What has happened is that GW is not STOPPING the invasion of the illegals.
Included in the bill that passed (HR4437) was an amendment by Rep.Sam Johnson, Texas.
" We don't pass laws to be ignored."
It states:
Amendment to expresse the sense of Congress that the President, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security and other Department Secretaries should immediately use every tool available to them to enforce the immigration laws of the U.S., as enacted by Congress.
"This amendment sends a simple message from the Congress to the administration: Enforce the law."
Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Tx presenting his amendment, passed without objection
We can debate how to solve the illegal immigration problem until we are blue in the face, and I see some very blue faces around the room, but if the laws we enact are not being enforced, then it is just a bunch of hot air.
I have got a four-page list of immigration laws in front of me that are currently being ignored. This is unacceptable. This non-enforcement must end. The United States Congress must demand it right now.
Let me give my colleagues a couple of examples. In 2002, we enacted a law requiring implementation of a system known as Chimera. This means there will be information sharing from Federal databases in the intelligence community to any Federal official considering an immigrant's admissibility or deportability. Well, you knew as you heard information sharing, it is not happening.
Did you know we have a law forbidding public colleges from giving in-State tuition to illegals unless they offer it to every citizen in the United States? It is going on in nine States. Federal law is being violated, and guess what, the Federal Government's doing nothing about it.
Do you know that all registered aliens are required to notify DHS within 10 days of changing address? Failure to do so is a deportable offense. This has tremendous national security value, and it is not being enforced.
In 1996, we made a law requiring the Department of State to suspend all visas to any country who refuses to receive a national who has been deported from the United States. So, hypothetically, if China would not accept people we are deporting back to China, which they are, then the Federal Government is not allowed to issue anymore visas to people coming from China. Who here thinks we are not giving visas to people from China?
The list goes on and on. I will submit it for the RECORD at this point.
Immigration Laws the Administration is NOT Enforcing
Integration of all databases and data systems maintained by [DHS] that process or contain information on aliens (§202).
DHS has no plan to accomplish this.
Implementation of an interoperable electronic data system (also known as the ``Chimera'' system) to provide current and immediate access to information in databases of Federal law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community that is needed to determine whether to issue a visa or to determine the admissibility or deportability of an alien (§202).
Chimera is to incorporate the integrated alien data system;
information in Chimera must be readily and easily accessible--
to any consular officer responsible for the issuance of visas;
to any Federal official responsible for determining an alien's admissibility to or deportability from the United States; and
to any Federal law enforcement or intelligence officer determined by regulation to be responsible for the investigation or identification of aliens.
DHS has no plan to accomplish this.
Make interoperable all security databases relevant to making determinations of admissibility under section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (§302).
DHS has no plan to accomplish this.
Not later than October 26, 2004, DHS and the State Department shall issue to aliens only machine-readable, tamper-resistant visas and other travel and entry documents that use biometric identifiers (§303).
DHS still issues easily counterfeited temporary cards until a more secure card is mailed to the alien.
Not later than October 26, 2004, the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of State, shall install at all ports of entry of the United States equipment and software (i.e., machine readers) to allow biometric comparison and authentication of all United States visas and other travel and entry documents issued to aliens, and passports (§303).
About 500 readers have been put in place in only some POEs, and all are in secondary, rather than primary, inspection.
Beginning upon implementation of Chimera, not later than 72 hours after receiving notification of the loss or theft of a United States or foreign passport, DHS and State, as appropriate, shall enter into Chimera the corresponding identification number for every lost or stolen passport (§308).
An alien presenting a border crossing identification card (i.e., a laser visa) is not permitted to cross over the border into the United States unless the biometric identifier contained on the card matches the appropriate biometric characteristic of the alien (§104).
The Administration exempted Mexico from participation in US-VISIT, so biometrics are not being verified and border crossing cards are merely inspected visually.
Process all aliens through US-VISIT (the automated entry-exit control system) so as to ``collect a record of departure for every alien departing the United States and match the records of departure with the record of the alien's arrival in the United States'' (§110).
Only about 20 percent of nonimmigrants are being processed through the entry part of US-VISIT; the other 80 percent of nonimmigrants have been exempted; immigrants (lawful permanent residents) also have been exempted; and the exit part of the system is still being tested in pilots at a handful of POEs.
Aliens who have resided illegally in the United States for more than six months but less than one year and voluntarily departed are barred from re-entry for three years; aliens who have resided illegally in the United States for more than one year are barred from re-entry for ten years (§301).
Only about 12,000 aliens were subjected to these bars on re-entry during the first four years after this provision took effect: it is estimated that the bars could have been applied to up to 2.5 mi11ion aliens during that period.
Mandatory detention pending removal of all aggravated felons and other aliens who are inadmissible or removable due to criminal convictions (§303).
Limited detention space and mismanagement of budgets result in criminal aliens being routinely released from detention prior to removal: more than 80,000 criminal aliens are free in American communities.
Mandatory detention of aliens from the time they are issued a final order of removal until the alien is actually removed or until 90 days have passed if the alien cannot be removed within that period (§305).
In 2004, almost half (34,800) of the more than 75,000 ``other than Mexicans'' apprehended by the Border Patrol were released on their own recognizance pending removal: an estimated 90 percent of nondetained aliens abscond after being issued an order of removal.
Upon notification by DHS or the AG that a foreign government refuses or unreasonably delays the return a national of that country who is ordered removed from the United States, the State Department shall suspend the issuance of immigrant and/or nonimmigrant visas to nationals of that country (§307).
A handful of governments routinely refuse to issue travel documents to their nationals who have been ordered removed from the United States, but this provision is not invoked.
Each Department of the Federal Government shall elect to participate in a pilot program to verify employment authorization of its employees and shall comply with the terms and conditions of such election (§402).
The 1996 law created three different pilot programs from which government agencies could choose; when two of them were allowed to lapse and only one, the Basic Pilot, was extended, agencies using one of the lapsed pilots simply stopped participating rather than sign up for the remaining one.
Public institutions of higher education may not offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless they also offer it to every citizen of the United States (§505).
Neither DHS nor the Justice Department has challenged any of the nine states that have passed laws that violate this law, despite the fact that Federal law clearly supersedes state law in the area of immigration.
Any alien seeking admission to the United States or a change of status who is likely to become a public charge or who is a public charge is excludable, if seeking admission, or removable, if already here and seeking adjustment of status (§531).
DHS has yet to come up with a definition of ``public charge'' to implement this provision.
Upon notification that a sponsored alien has received any means-tested public benefit, the entity (nongovernmental, Federal, state or local) that provided the benefit shall request full reimbursement by the sponsor (§551).
Only one lawsuit seeking reimbursement has been filed, and it was filed by private citizens trying to force the Los Angeles public hospital system to seek reimbursement from sponsors: the case was dismissed on technical, not substantive, grounds.
States and localities may not adopt policies, formally or informally, that prohibit employees from communicating with DHS regarding the immigration status of individuals (sanctuary policies) (§642).
Neither of the two sanctuary states, Maine and New Mexico, nor any of the multitude of sanctuary cities have been challenged by DHS or DOJ for violating this provision: soon after this law passed, the City of New York challenged the law in court and the court upheld the law and ordered the City to rescind its sanctuary policy: instead, the City modified its policy slightly, but the Federal Government has not challenged it.
DHS shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law (§642).
This law also required the establishment by then-INS of the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC), which is available 24/7 to state and local police seeking information on alienage and citizenship: however, state and local police who contact ICE about illegal aliens they have taken into custody are routinely rebuffed and told to simply release the aliens.
The Secretary of DHS is authorized to expand expedited removal procedures to any or all aliens who have not been admitted or paroled into the United States and who have not affirmatively shown to the satisfaction of an immigration officer that they have been physically present in the United States continuously for two years immediately prior to this determination (§235).
The Secretary has only recently used this authority to expand expedited removal to nine Border Patrol sectors. The fact that our Federal court system is clogged with appeals of removal orders--the number of cases filed in Federal court rose from just over 2,000 in 1994 to more than 14,500 in 2004--and the fact that the illegal alien population in the United States continues to grow would suggest that expedited removal needs to be expanded along the entire land border of the United States.
Once an alien is apprehended and removal proceedings are initiated, DHS may detain the alien, release him on a minimum $1,500 bond, or release him on conditional parole (§236).
Since on estimated 90 percent of non-detained aliens abscond after being issued an order of removal, and since DHS has the authority to detain aliens pending removal, it makes no sense that almost half (34,800) of the more than 75,000 ``other than Mexicans'' apprehended by the Border Patrol were released on their own recognizance pending removal in 2004.
Marriage fraud, used in the past by at least nine terrorists to prolong their stay in the United States, is a deportable offense (§237).
ICE has announced that single-instance marriage fraud is a low priority and so will not be investigated or prosecuted.
Domestic violence, false claims to US citizenship and voting illegally are deportable offenses (§237).
Illegal aliens who are victims of domestic violence can obtain green cards through the Violence Against Women Act, but the abuser is rarely prosecuted and even more rarely deported; as happened in New York City with Mayor Giuliani's ``broken-window policing,'' stepped up enforcement of these ``low priority'' violations would begin to reassert the rule of law in our immigration system.
Failure of an alien intending to remain in the United States for thirty days or longer to apply for registration and fingerprinting during that thirty-day period is a deportable offense (§262).
Enforcement of this provision would be of obvious national security value, and it would send a clear message that security is our top priority.
All registered aliens are required to notify DHS within ten days of changing addresses; failure to do so is a deportable offense (§266).
This, too, has important national security value.
Any individual or entity that ``encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law'' is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment (§274).
A strong case could be made that localities like Herndon, Virginia, that are using taxpayer funds to build and promote day-labor sites for aliens they know to be illegal, and government entities like the Illinois Housing Development Authority, which has set aside taxpayer funds to provide mortgages to illegal aliens, are ``encourag[ing illegal aliens] to reside in the United States.'' The same case can be made against banks that accept consular ID cards to open accounts or allow illegal aliens to use individual taxpayer ID numbers to get home loans.
It is unlawful to knowingly hire, recruit, or refer for a fee an alien who is not authorized to work in the United States, and it is unlawful to hire any individual without verifying the employment authorization of that individual, either through the I-9 process alone or combined with the Basic Pilot program (§274A).
While it is exceedingly difficult to establish that an employer knew an employee was illegal, it is not difficult to establish that an employer failed to complete the I-9 process; it is also not difficult to encourage employers to use the Basic Pilot to verify work eligibility.
Aliens who commit fraud, use false or altered documents, or make misrepresentations on applications for immigration benefits are ineligible for the benefits (§212, 237, 340, among others).
Not only does USCIS grant benefits to aliens despite indications of, and sometimes even evidence of, fraud or misrepresentation, ICE rarely investigates cases of alleged benefits fraud referred by USCIS. USCIS estimates that ICE declines to investigate over 70 percent of the benefits fraud referrals it receives. It is exceedingly rare for either agency to attempt to rescind a benefit once it is granted.
Millions of new immigrants come to America every year, and the numbers are rising. Do you know why these numbers continue to increase? Because when we don't enforce the laws, we send the message that we don't take our laws seriously.
We don't pass laws to be ignored. Join me in supporting this amendment.
Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, but I will not oppose the gentleman's amendment.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the gentlewoman can claim the time in opposition.
There was no objection.

I went on the basis of the advertised 'drying lounge', 'spa garden' and 'complementary glass of fizz, green tea of fruit-infused spring water and a shoulder massage', thinking that it would be a bit more luxurious than your average in and out nail bar. However it was quite the same as an average nail bar as none of the above materialised, and far busier given that it was the weekend and they had been running some online promotions.
The treatments themselves (I went for the signature mani and signature pedi) were good, and the quality of the nail treatment was good. Not sure the full signature treatment was worth the price, and would probably have been fine with just the (far cheaper) mini-treatment instead.
On the particular day I went they were very busy and my treatment began 30 minutes late, and then the therapist was sometimes called off elsewhere during the treatment itself. While waiting at the beginning and also at the end for my nails to dry, there was only a small sofa to wait on with others, and so the 'drying lounge' and 'spa garden' were not on offer- not sure why. The shoulder massage that I was supposed to get with the combination signature mani/pedi was also not offered to me, and I was reluctant to ask why- they clearly had my booking down correctly but it wasn't offered.
I would probably go again because it is convenient for me, and the varnishes they use are of good quality. Unlikely to get such an expensive treatment again though, will only go as a means to an end for the basic mani/pedi.

Sudanese refugees to get UF tent
Published: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 12:16 a.m.
With paintbrushes in hand, a group of University of Florida students will put their artistic talents to use this week as they transform a plain white tent into a colorful and inspiring creation.
At the same time, children in war-stricken Sudan sit quietly under other tents that they now call home after being displaced from their native country.
The contrast is clear between both locations, but beginning today, UF students will seek to bridge the gap between geographic, cultural and religious differences.
At the Plaza of the Americas, students will decorate the tent with messages of hope and images of peace as part of the Tents of Hope project. When the week concludes, the finished tent will be shipped to Sudan and lived in by refugees in need of a home or in need of an encouraging message.
"It's an opportunity for various cultural, religious and ethnic groups to come together in an effort to commemorate our shared experiences of oppression, exile, slavery and redemption, while also addressing the need for the unity and liberation of all people," said Casey Topol, a Jewish Campus Service Corps fellow at the Hillel Jewish center.
"We need to stand together and fight for our basic human rights," Topol said.
The Black Student Union, Islam on Campus, the Hispanic Student Association, Hillel and the Jewish Student Association all helped organize the project, making UF the first college campus in the state to be involved with the Tents of Hope initiative. Organizers said the purpose of the tents is to encourage more concrete forms of advocacy for Darfur, in western Sudan, and raise awareness about the conditions refugees must live in every day.
"I think it's a great program," said Naadira Renfoe, who works with the Black Student Union on Tents of Hope. "It gives you an aspect of UF that otherwise you wouldn't have the chance to see. I think that with the program, even though you may come from different denominations, ethnicities or minorities . . . it shows that we are all so alike."
As a part of the project, each organization will host a "Freedom Feast" on April 23. Based loosely on the Jewish holiday of Passover, the feast promotes a sense of religious and cultural awareness while enjoying aspects of each other's traditions. The festivities will begin at 6 p.m. with multicultural cuisine and live entertainment. The location has not yet been announced.
