As a diabetic, I have to take excellent care of my feet. I had severe cracked heels and have tried every product I could find on them. Blue Goo has turned out to work the best of all of them. It is much more cost effective also, as you are required to use less of it, as well as the pricing being lower than all the others. My heels look and feel normal; all evidence of the cracking is gone. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wishes to rid themselves of unsightly and painful cracked heels. Works wonderfully on elbows and chapped hands, too!
Wow! I am a diabetic and my feet are always an issue. My heels are always cracked and get so bad that they bleed and I have difficulty walking. I tried this Blue Goo 1 TIME and my feet were about 50% softer, cracks GONE! I've now used it 3 times, and my feet are practically soft as a baby's proverbial behind. I can't say enough about this product, its AMAZING! I have tried hundreds of products over the years that didnt do 1/2 of what this one does at a lot less cost! I've used, vasoline, lanolin, lotions, creams, soaks, neosporin, you name it, I've tried it, and NOTHING compares to this product. Try it!! You'll be amazed!
I read the other review and was excited to use this for my heels. First off it's a very tiny jar and the product is hardened so you basically have to dig your finger into it to get a chunk out then rub it on because just rubbing your finger into the inch wide jar isn't going to get much product. It smells pretty bad but I wouldn't have minded that if it had worked. My skin isn't THAT cracked but I was still having trouble getting it to feel softened. It is basically really greasy but didn't help my dry skin barely at all even after using it after my shower and putting socks on and going to sleep. Maybe it would work for some people it probably just depends on your skin type and what your actual issue is. I'll stick with my Gold Bond foot cream which has worked the best for me
I have tried different products and not 1 outlast this one i put some on and put socks while i get ready so when I put my sandals on it feels dry, go on about my day and when i get home its still smooth unlike other products by the time i get home its all cracked again... LOVE Blue Goo!

It's Malignant cut paper 16 x 20 inches 1995"Is it benign or malignant?" is the first question I asked when my grandmother and mother were diagnosed with a tumor. My cut-paper reflects the worry, fear, and denial when the word "cancer" is heard. Three people very close to me died of the illness: my grandmother, mother, and father. My cut-out design represents my interpretation of how cancer scares and saddens me.

The Leonardo Cover-Up
By MELINDA HENNEBERGER
Published: April 21, 2002
have something to tell you,'' Maurizio Seracini began, a little apologetically, when we met for coffee in Florence recently. Seracini is an art diagnostician, an engineer who studied medicine but who has spent the last 27 years examining works of art. His first prominent patient was Botticelli's ''Allegory of Spring,'' and he has since conducted a whole battery of tests on Caravaggio and Raphael. He has X-rayed Giotto, given Piero della Francesca a sonogram, even performed a routine check-up on Michelangelo's ''David.'' Over the years, he has done work for the Uffizi and the Louvre, the Met and the Getty.
Nearly a year ago, the Uffizi brought Seracini in again, to help settle an international brawl over whether Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished masterpiece, ''The Adoration of the Magi,'' one of the two or three most important paintings in Italy, was too fragile to be restored. It was some weeks after I had done a newspaper article on the Uffizi's decision not to go ahead with the restoration that we met again.
He cleared his throat several times, as if he were about to reveal something dreadful. The bar he had chosen -- smoky, overpriced, packed with an early-evening crowd of tourists and couples who looked married to other people -- seemed perfect for guilty revelations, though I couldn't imagine what these might be.
''I didn't tell you when we talked before,'' he said finally, ''because I still wasn't sure. I thought, If I'm wrong, this is the end of my career. But now there can be no doubt.'' Instinctively, he lowered his voice and then looked right at me. ''None of the paint we see on the 'Adoration' today was put there by Leonardo. God knows who did, but it was not Leonardo.''
Da Vinci did sketch the gray-green underdrawing, still visible in the unfinished areas of the work, which was commissioned in 1481. But the paint itself was added later, Seracini said -- and not just a little later but much later. And whoever came along behind the master traced his work in some places, reinterpreted it in other spots and made a few unscripted additions of his own.
Leonardo, whose multitude of passions frequently made him what one contemporary called ''very impatient with his paintbrushes,'' has never exactly been known for his follow-through. Yet scholars always assumed that he had got pretty far along with this work before moving on. In fact, the ''Adoration'' has been highly prized in part because the contrast between the painted and unpainted areas supposedly provides a dazzling glimpse over Leonardo's shoulder at the way he worked.
What Seracini has found, though, is that the original intention of the ''Adoration'' was subverted by the anonymous painter, with some of the most important themes covered over entirely. In other words, we have been admiring the painting all these years for all the wrong reasons. And once the implications of his findings sank in, Seracini himself couldn't stop wondering why generations of connoisseurs had lavished such praise on the handiwork of the Leonardo understudy who stepped in as much as a century later -- a painter whose mountains in the background suddenly struck him as resembling little pup tents. ''The guy was not even a very good artist,'' he says.
One of the world's leading Leonardo scholars, Carlo Pedretti of the University of California at Los Angeles, who has known Seracini for 30 years, says the results of his recent tests are unambiguous. ''From what he showed me,'' Pedretti says, ''it's clear that Leonardo's original sketch was gone over by an anonymous painter.'' Pedretti says he was surprised, though not disappointed, that the news was finally getting out. ''It's extremely important and should be said because it has to be clarified.''
The Uffizi is in no hurry to do that, although Seracini insists that officials there are unusually brave both for allowing the tests and for accepting the rather humbling results, albeit quietly. Still, in the Leonardo room of the museum, there is a small sign where the ''Adoration'' used to hang that says, ''This work is undergoing diagnostic tests in preparation for restoration.'' It is hardly surprising, though, that the results, known for months, now would go unadvertised.
While new technology has more than ever to tell us about the genesis of works of art, scientific inquiries are often dreaded and dismissed by scholars, auction houses and others who would have a lot to lose if such tests were done more routinely. There is still no such thing as a paternity test for paintings. The long-running Rembrandt Research Project, for example, a Dutch undertaking that sought to separate real Rembrandts from impostors, ended up concluding that it is only rarely possible to establish authorship through science alone. Tests can, however, retrieve much of the hidden history of a work. They can date certain materials and pigments and uncover obscured images and reconstruct techniques, raising all sorts of inconvenient questions in the process. Seracini's accidental discovery about the ''Adoration'' shows clearly why, as far as much of the art world is concerned, masterpieces should be entitled to their secrets.

Skip to comments.Grand Canyon Cites People For Entering Closed Park
Posted on 10/09/2013 3:07:47 AM PDT by kelly4c
TUSAYAN, Ariz. (AP) Nearly two dozen people have been issued citations for entering Grand Canyon National Park after a partial government shutdown forced its closure.
Grand Canyon Chief Ranger Bill Wright says some people have been caught at the South Rim, on trails, attempting rim-to-rim hikes or trying to sneak in through dirt roads.
All of the citations will be handled by the U.S. Attorneys Office. Wright says each of the 21 citations issued as of Monday has a mandatory order to appear in federal court.
(Excerpt) Read more at lasvegas.cbslocal.com ...
Good, if it's true. If I were closer I would go just to get cited. I want some AR armed thug to tote me off the land of We The People. Maybe next weekend I can at least find a closed park to hold a sign that says Mr Obeyme... Tear down this barricade! Or maybe I will get cited at a different park.
I get it that the rangers were confused the first day or so. But now, they should not be issuing citations, removing people, or maintaining barriers. The are OUR national parks, and not the president's. "just following orders" is not acceptable in times of crisis.
The feds are going to crucify every single person they cite to
send their message....the only one they want us to hear.
This has gone far beyond any peaceful resolution.
Blood will be shed, the only question left is whose
blood will it be and how much.
If we the people don't fight back blood will still flow.
But it will be one sided as it usually is during government
sponsored pogroms.
cannot help but wonder if they would shoot if given the order. They seem to have that mentality
I found that over the years the government employee trend to treat land owned by the people as land owned by themselves.
"Oh, how we burned in the camps ..."
Fedgov is behaving precisely like an occupying hostile military.
If rangers are furloughed, then they should be home playing video games instead of handing out citations. If there are a few still on the job, then there's surely more important duties they need to be doing.
They behave that way because that is exactly what they are.
So the brown shirts are blocking a state highway now because people are daring to move cones on overlooks so they can see their country. The State needs to start arresting the Feds and people need to show up in sufficient numbers to deter Obama's goons from arresting them. Beyond that, if you are going to be ordered to Federal court if you are given a ticket, are the Feds drawing down on citizens to force identification and compliance on trails? How far will this go?
Wait till the IRS is giving everyone a cavity search through the healthcare scam. A few park rangers with glocks will seem tame.
Where are the sheriffs?
I should be thanking God that my husband no longer flies Grand Canyon air tours. "Can" meet "whoop ass" on this in Arizona. Jan (I love her) Brewer, open carry to the grocery store, open carry a necessity to walk to the laundry (wildlife).... I hope these morons are planning their moves now because good luck continuing to live there.
Grand Canyon village is a small town. Those I have talked to who still live there are convinced, to a person, this is the Tea Party's fault.
But remember, the only radio station available in the park is NPR.
But I bet a lot of law-dogs are going to have to transfer.
This land is your land, this land is .... nevermind.
I guess our land was annexed by the monarchy. Do not trespass on the King's property.
I have known many park rangers who were real Americans and decent people. I hope the number willing to follow a petty tyrant is very small.
We didn't live in the village, we lived in Valle. I did not know one person that would have put up with this...but then we didn't live in the village, beholden to the park service.
oh boy. The OGestapo will be after thee folks.
I think its time for the states to retake their lands or force the feds to pay taxes. Here in Michigan, state owned land pays local taxes.
And let me add- I was carrying concealed every time I made the half hour plus trip to Safeway, a woman alone, through lots of park land, desolate areas. Gabby picked the wrong day and the wrong Safeway. People know OPSEC and who to share what with. The .gov, for all of it's "intelligence" is dumb as a brick.
Day 9 of the 'War on Tourists'.
If the Feds have decided to deny citizens access to parks we've paid for, why are we still sending them taxes? This would be equivalent to hiring someone to renovate your kitchen, who takes your money, demands more, then locks you out of your own house.
It's time for the States to stop payment to the Feds.
Also remembered- those who actually lived "in the village" were pretty much viewed as sheeple/ gov borgs. They'd crossed over to the other side. Pretty small village considering what surrounds it.
Do those citations come with a ribbon and a plaque???
Very good question. Is Fedzilla now so large and omnipresent that no state or official is willing to oppose them? (Although Governor Walker seems willing to keep open some state lands in Wisconsin, I read.)
I agree with you-are they really working without pay?
Need to go to washtington and spray some fire foam on them like public workers did so approvingly in Brussels.
Matt laugher NBC make me so sick.buick...
It's already been proven that they will à la Miriam Carey.
You can stop wondering.
They would bust a cap in your ass in an instant.
Amen brother.
I'm thinking that the working rangers are just really pissed that they're not home playing video games like their co-workers and are taking their anger out on anybody they can. Make it hurt.
Start suing every Fedgov person personally who harasses Americans over this pain politics for violating our civil rights. Its not trespassing; its conduct that is protected first amendment protest speech.
Considering the fact that arguably the modern Democrat leadership is a successor of the Communist Party; if they resort officially to using violence or force against the people this law may kick in:
50 USC § 842 - Proscription of Communist Party, its successors, and subsidiary organizations
The Communist Party of the United States, or any successors of such party regardless of the assumed name, whose object or purpose is to overthrow the Government of the United States, or the government of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force and violence, are not entitled to any of the rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; and whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, are terminated: Provided, however, That nothing in this section shall be construed as amending the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended [50 U.S.C. 781 et seq.]
"I think its time for the states to retake their lands or force the feds to pay taxes".
If the feds were required to pay for land they have locked up, especially in the West, there would be an unbelievable land sale, as there aren't enough printing presses to sustain the cost vs land value.
In some cases they do pay, but they are woefully late making those payments which are used to support schools where there are military bases using the local school facilities with those living on base not paying property taxes. There is a name for those payments that escapes me at the moment.
Regarding those who are now being cited for trespassing, it will be really interesting to sit in on the court proceedings when those cited attempt to make the "this is my land" case before an unsympathetic federal judge. I recently sat through a sentencing of a local doctor given a five year term in federal prison by a jury not of his peers. It was a railroad to prison IMHO, and the judge was only too typical in the long winded castigation of the doctor. The case involved tax issues in which other doctors on the same retirement plan have been exonerated.
hey park people,
F you ya nazi's
Being unfamiliar with that "Proscription of Communist Party" law you quoted above, I googled it. And there it is, just like you said.
No citation for crossing a US border illegally...in fact those people are compensated...but cross a federal border and going Into a fed park (already OWNED by those crossing it) and they are or penalized? If we don't start pushing back, then we deserve the loss of our country.
Don't doubt it for a minute.
A big name for a little piss ant.
Each and everyone should ask for a jury trial. Then we will see what the people would say about this "illegal activity!"
The comments are good. But will they put their heads back in their anal sphincters next election and vote democrat?
Just shows:
Time for talk is long past.
This land is your land,
this land is my land....
I never dreamed that one day, I would be singing along with Comrade Woody Guthrie!
Tune: "This Land Is Your Land"
As sung by King Obama
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
If you go driving an interstate highway
And see an orange cone, you'll do it my way
You will obey me and not go forward
This land's not made for you to see
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
You'll want to travel and go to Mount Rushmore
But at Rapid City, you won't go much more
Guards will surround you, their voices sounding:
This land's not made for you to see
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
If you oppose me, I'll make you suffer
Come near memorials, I'll put up a buffer
I am Obama, I am your land lord
This land's not made for you to see
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
If you go looking, you'll see a sign there
And on the sign it says: "There's No Trespassing"
And on the other side: "No Looking or Nothing!"
Both sides were made for you to see
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
At the Redwood Forest, in the land of the Canyons
By the Gulfstream Waters, you'll see my minions
As they stand there guarding, you'll stand there wond'ring:
Is this land safe for me to see?
This land's not your land, this land is my land
Shut down or open, it comes from my hand
From Barack Obama to the bitter clingers:
This land's not made for you to see
No one can stop me, my mind is made up
As I go putting my Barrycades up
Nobody living can make me give your land back
This land's not made for you to see
New voices:
But King Obama, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free
This land ain't your land, this land is our land
So shut your piehole, you can go pound sand
From the bitter clingers to Barack Obama:
This land was founded to be free
If no one pays the fine and they all demand a trial, it will shut down the federal court for years.
I think we have resolved the issue of "following orders" at Nuremberg

Designer Steroid THG Banned
The Story: The Food and Drug Administration has banned the sale and use of a new "designer steroid" called THG and said it would help prosecute any companies making or selling it. The full name of THG is tetrahydrogestrinone. It is an anabolic steroid used, illicitly, to build muscle mass.
Sports Perspective: THG has figured recently in several sports scandals involving (so far) track and field athletes. US track and field officials are weighing lifetime bans even for first-time steroid offenses by American athletes. Athletes could also be fined up to $100,000 if convicted of steroid use, and their coaches could face similar fines.
Senate Perspective: US Senators Joseph Biden (D-Del) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) have introduced a measure that would add THG, androstenedione and other steroid precursors to the list of muscle-building steroids listed as Schedule III controlled substances.
Our Perspective: We wonder why it took a new designer steroid THG to wake up the FDA, sports officials, and the Senate. The FDA and Senators might also like to go online and check out some of the sites that peddle steroids -- these sites openly advertise "Buy legal steroids" and "Real steroids for sale" -- and then explain why they have not shut them down.

Oda (harem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oda (Turkish: oda, "a room, chamber") is a room within a harem found in the Ottoman Empire.
During Ottoman period the harem division of the Topkapı Palace was home to the Valide sultan (Sultan's mother); the odalisques and wives of the Sultan; and the rest of his family, including children; and their servants. There were nearly 300 odas in the harem and it housed as many as 500 residents, which sometimes amounted up to 300 women, their children, and the eunuchs.

Hey, I'm Madeleine!
Barcelona, Spain · Member since July 2012
Im an outgoing and happy girl from Venezuela, but half of my ADN is Italian. I love to do sports (extreme specially) sing and hang out. I do Cinema and photography as well. Love the contact with the nature, people, cultures and animals. I think animals are definitely the best thing on the world, but not necessary means that humans doesn't like me. =)
Love the world and take care of it. I like to think in green, but not only in material things, in a living style of spirit too. Any little thing i can do for leave a better planet, i am doing my best!

"For busy, harried or distractible readers who have the time and energy only to skim the opening paragraph of a review, I'll say this as quickly and clearly as possible: The Death of the Adversary and Comedy in a Minor Key are masterpieces, and Hans Keilson is a genius . . . Although the novels are quite different, both are set in Nazi-occupied Europe and display their author's eye for perfectly illustrative yet wholly unexpected incident and detail, as well as his talent for storytelling and his extraordinarily subtle and penetrating understanding of human nature. But perhaps the most distinctive aspect they share is the formal daring of the relationship between subject matter and tone. Rarely has a finer, more closely focused lens been used to study such a broad and brutal panorama, mimetically conveying a failure to come to grips with reality by refusing to call that reality by its proper name . . . Rarely have such harrowing narratives been related with such wry, off-kilter humor, and in so quiet a whisper. Read these books and join me in adding him to the list, which each of us must compose on our own, of the world's very greatest writers." Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review
"A welcome reissue of a classic . . . This psychologically subtle and acute account of denial in the face of Hitler's rise to power received strong acclaim before disappearing from print. With the celebration last year of the 100th birthday of Keilson . . . the novel has lost none of its insidious power . . . The narrative recalls the existential depth of Camus and the fabulist absurdity of Kafka or Beckett." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"The power of the unsaid haunts this devastating novel . . . A profoundly affecting exploration of the inextricable nature of love and hate, friend and enemy, Keilson's work . . . is as stimulating today as it was half a century ago." Publishers Weekly
"Since Adolf Hitler, an outpouring of writing has tried to explain the violence that human beings do to one another . . . Perhaps the profoundest explanation to date comes from the pen of a Jewish writer driven from Germany in 1936 and now living in Holland. Hans Keilson's novel subtly and eloquently probes the ambivalent relation of victim with aggressor . . . Keilson traces the growth of hatred in his leading character as other writers trace love or self-knowledge." Time, Best Books of 1962

The St. Louis Cardinals continue to perform well in all aspects of the game heading into the middle of their three-game series Saturday against the host Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals own the best record in baseball and seem to be getting stronger, winning 17 of their last 22 games. St. Louis, which beat Los Angeles 7-0 in Friday's series opener, has the lowest ERA in the majors (3.09), the fifth-highest batting average (.267) and third-fewest errors (17).
The Dodgers and Cardinals have each experienced injuries to their pitching staffs this season, but Los Angeles hasn't responded nearly as well. The middle of its lineup has also underachieved as 2011 Triple Crown contender Matt Kemp is still sitting on two home runs. Andre Ethier also continues to look very average at the plate and the Dodgers' best hitter in April - first baseman Adrian Gonzalez - has seen his average dip from .333 at the end of April to .303.
TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, Fox
PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals LH John Gast (2-0, 4.76 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Ted Lilly (0-1, 5.63)
Gast is one of three rookies in the five-man rotation for the Cardinals. Last week, he became the first St. Louis left-hander since 1993 to start and win his major-league debut, a feat matched Wednesday by Tyler Lyons. He was just as solid in his second start Sunday, allowing two runs and four hits in 5 1/3 innings. Gast was drafted in the fifth round by the Texas Rangers a month after undergoing Tommy John surgery following his senior year of high school in 2007. He opted to play for Florida State, where he twice pitched in the College World Series, and was eventually taken by the Cardinals in the sixth round of the 2010 draft.
Lilly will get a chance to turn things around for the Dodgers when he makes his first appearance since April 29, a day before he went on the 15-day disabled list with a right rib cage strain. He takes the starting spot previously occupied by rookie right-hander Matt Magill, who was sent down to the minors after going winless in four starts with a 5.50 ERA. Lilly was limited to eight games last year after undergoing surgery to his throwing shoulder, which also caused the 37-year-old to miss the first three weeks this season. Lilly has pitched well against St. Louis in his career, however, owning a 7-3 record with a 2.66 ERA in 105 innings.
1. Cardinals C Yadier Molina is hitting .311 in his career against the Dodgers, but .176 against Lilly.
2. Dodgers C A.J. Ellis suffered a bruised right forearm during a collision at home plate with Jon Jay on Friday, but expects to play Saturday.
3. Kemp has one home run in April and one in May. Before this season, he had not been held to one home run or less during an injury-free month since May 2008.
PREDICTION: Cardinals 7, Dodgers 5

I am trying to create an install CD to install multiple windows updates and hotfixes in one. The Autorun.inf launching a .bat (or .exe) running each update in turn. Currently if I run this .bat each update brings up a UAC prompt individually which can be annoying.
However if I run the .bat as administrator it can launch and install each update with just one prompt.
Is there a way to force the bat (or .exe) to need admin priviledges no matter who runs it.

The only reason we got this game was because it was free with the purchase of our wii from Wal-Mart.com. For a free game its pretty good. Its easy to play once you get your character created. That takes forever. It took an hour for two competent teens to create a character. Volleyball and Frisbee golf seem far to difficult to win in my opinion. They are ok to play if you don't mind losing no matter what and you just enjoy that game. Bocce Ball and Football are both simplistic and easy to play. Cricket... who knows. I don't understand the game and in the in game tutorial didn't help very well. When you win games you get points and I don't understand what those are for. Its like they tried to implement Wii Sports' experience points with no success in my opinion because it makes no sense. When you complete certain feats you are rewarded a trophy (albeit, with a dorky name) and that makes you feel nice (maybe not warm and fuzzy inside but nice...) Overall Its a good game. If you could pick it for a free game I would for it because for a free game its pretty good. Fairly simplistic, anyone could play it (maybe not win...)
The only thing we have played on this game is the volleyball, and it was so fun.
I LOVE the volleyball. The disc golf is challenging at times and I haven't quite figured out the defense on the football. It's great to play with multiple people but when you play alone you are all of your teammates or most of them which can be confusing at first.
A fun, simple game for all to enjoy.
Great value for these games. They are not the most sophisticated, but it was a good value for the price. I like the bocce.
My 7 year old son likes it and the Beach Cricket is pretty cool game.
I like a couple of them but the game doesn't respond to your movements half the time!
this game is alot of fun.its alittle different because you have to play all the players on your team. the only thing i dont like is that you and the computer play the tournements. you cant replace the computer with someone else
We had high expectations from this game. However, after trying it a couple of times, the control procedure for game play is really cumbersome, unresposive, and confusing at best. I do not recommend this game to anyone.
I bought this game for my 11 year old son and 7 year old daughter for their birthday with the wii system. They like the game, but not more than the wii sports.
The game is alright and at some points the interaction sounds can be a bit annoying
Definitely a complement to your wii system.
Fun but slow moving

In my webapp, I want to set a default cookie to store a locale of 'en_US'. I have functionality in place for the user to change this successfully.
However, I've removed a lot of scriptlets on my .jsp and replaced with some JSTL tags to set a default cookie value, but it doesn't seem to work. It seems that I can't access my ${lang} variable in my locale declaration. Am I missing something?
Here's my code:
<c:set var="lang" scope=="session">
<c:out value="${cookie['locale'].value}" default="en_US"/>
<fmt:setLocale value="${lang}" />
<fmt:bundle basename="com.foo.bar.app">
It seems as though I'm still having a problem. My setLocale call is not getting a good value. I tried a simple
<c:out value="${lang}"/> and it is printing out ${lang} rather than a value, so I assume that my locale is being set to the variable name rather than the value. Any idea?

Lloyd Blankfein Lost $300 Million
And it's not under his couch cushions.
Goldman Sachs is down 72 percent since February, and CEO Lloyd Blankfein has lost the most. The Journal calculates that with 2.2 million shares, he's lost $300.1 million over the past nine months. This worries us. How soon before the light goes out of those dancing eyes? [WSJ]

Try this Spicy Broccoli And Angel Hair Pasta in Chicken Broth recipe, or contribute your own.
10 people want to try | 7 have favorited
In a large skillet heat the oil over high heat until it is smoking. Add the broccoli, give it a quick stir and cook it covered, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. (It should look crispy and brown around the edges.) Turn the heat to low and cook it for 2 minutes more or until it is just tender. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture for 1 minute. While the broccoli mixture is cooking, boil the angel hair pasta in a large pot of salted water for 3 to 5 minutes or until it is just al dente and drain it. Add the cooked pasta and the chicken stock to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each portion with some of the cheese. This recipe yields 4 servings.

Our family recently stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Las Cruces for three nights and had a wonderful experience! The hotel is very nice and conveniently located off I-25. We were never further than a few minute drive from area restaurants and shopping. Our check-in/check-out was smooth and our accommodation requests were ready when we arrived. Since we were traveling with an infant, we reserved a junior suite and requested a portable crib. I would highly recommend this room type for anyone traveling with a child (or someone just wanting a little more space than your average hotel room offers). Room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. Walls were a little thin (we could hear someone snoring next door and the opening/closing of doors), but the noise level was no more than what is typical at most hotels. If you have an infant, just bring a sound machine. Our room was at the end of a hall so it was relatively quiet. It also overlooked the pool and had a lovely view of the mountains. Would definitely stay here again!

600 mg potency of the "universal" antioxidant
With grape seed extract and Bioperine
NOW ALA 600 mg uses only the highest grade Alpha Lipoic Acid available, and delivers it in a high potency that has been proven safe in studies. To further support antioxidant activity, we've added 30 mg of Grape Seed Extract and 5 mg of Bioperine, a potent compound that helps enhance the absorption of ALA.
Many nutritionists and researchers refer to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) as the "universal antioxidant" based on its fat/water solubility. This allows it to travel to virtually any cell in the body to quench cell damaging oxidation. In addition, ALA has been shown to increase the free radical fighting abilities of other vitamins and antioxidants, especially C and E. Contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

A 1024 x 768 resolution projector? For over $2,000? In almost April 2012? No.... I don't really think so. Although I did love the 1990s so much.
The 10,000 hour warranty does not sound all that much, either. But the rest out there is even worse than this for PJ warranty.

Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
Service at the village center was excellent.
the house is clean and well equipped beside very old TV that should be replaced and dishwasher that is missing.
beside the master bedroom, rest of the sleeping rooms are for children only.
location is perfect - at the heart of the region .
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
This was an overall appalling experience and thus has led our family to never rent from Wimdu ever again moving forward. As the photos advertised a lovely apartment (not cheap, I might add - about $300 per night), we realized upon arrival and after reading the fine print that the photos on the post were simply an "example" of an apartment that you MIGHT be placed in. After taking an expensive cab ride to pick up the key and digging through pages of contracts to find the code to unlock the door and the safebox, we then had to take another expensive cab to the other side of the city where the apartment was located. The location was fine but we had to drag our heavy bags up three flights of stairs, because the apartment did not have a lift. When we arrived, the apartment was tiny and nothing like the photos online. The worst part was then at checkout, we were expected to return the key to the safebox again on the other side of town. These people BRIDGESTREET ARE COMPLETE FRAUDS! Do not rent from them. Ever.
Apartment is exactly as described.2 rooms ,clean,suitable for a family with upto two kids with a small kitchen.Its 30 mins by bus from the apartment to the altsatdt but the bus stop is only 20m away from the apartment.Could have been better if wifi was also provided.the host was really good, also giving us some suggestions on places to visit for kids.
Will definetly recommend to others.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

He attended Holy Name and Sacred Heart Catholic elementary schools and Southport High School before volunteering for the United States Navy in 1945 at the age of 17. He served with distinction aboard Fletcher class destroyers until his honorable discharge in 1949.
Carl served in the post-World War II Pacific, occupied-Japan and pre-Communist China. His most noteworthy service was aboard the USS Trippe at the Bikini atomic bomb tests in July, 1946. (After the testing, the USS Trippe was so radioactive that it was intentionally sunk in the Marianas Trench but Carl suffered no medical consequences during his long life.)
He was employed at the Bridgeport Brass Company from 1949 to 1984, when he retired to Bonita Springs, Florida. There he was active in sport fishing and scuba diving, returning to Indianapolis in 2006.
Carl is survived by his former wife, Kathryn Herner; a sister, Betty Wolsiffer; four sons, Mark, Matt, Carl and Dan Herner and six grandchildren, Emily Dirosa, Molly, Joe, Daniel, Andrew and Gabriella Herner.
Services will be at the Wilson St. Pierre Funeral Service & Crematory, Southport Chapel , 7520 Madison Avenue (317-882- 0771) on Monday, April 1st, with viewing from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., service at 4 p.m., and a wake to follow in the Edelweiss Restaurant at German Park, 8602 South Meridian Street.

Fiaker - Horse Carriage, Vienna
18 Reviews
18 Reviews
The word "fiaker" seems to be typical from Austria (not used in Germany) but close to the French "fiacre" except that you won't find nowadays any fiacre in Paris but many in Vienna.
As we had money left and the rain had stopped we made a short ride on our last afternoon before leaving for the airport.
We took one of them waiting at the Heldenplatz in front of the Neue Burg. You have to take the first in the line. During 20 minutes at a price of 40 € we explored the surrounding area.
My wife found especially pleasant to hear the sound of the hoofs passing under the portico of the Hofburg. That was well worthwhile the 40 €; the Kaiser must have heard the same sound.
The horses of our fiaker were well educated; they waited that we left to do what they were in need to do.
Inflation: Begin June 2012 I saw that the price for 1 hour was 80 € and 55 € for 20 minutes for the fiakers standing at the Stephansplatz. Not surprising that many remain empty.

Now I know it, I made mistake not to take fiaker tour of the city centre because it offers more sights in a shorter time and in more comfortable way. I've skip it because my wife was eager to make some shoppings here. It happens to me all the time when exploring the city in a company of my wife.
Do not make the same mistake I did, rent a fiaker and enjoy the city tour!
Fiaker ride price:
- the small city tour, 20 minutes € 40
- the medium city tour, 40 minutes € 65
- the big city tour, 60 minutes € 95.

The horse and carriage rides around the beautiful city of Vienna are a great way of seeing the city in comfort because of the Narrow Streets and cobbles. The horses pass by many beautiful buildings and statues. The length and prices of the rides vary so it is best to agree on a price before the ride.
A trip with a Fiaker is a romantic way to discover Vienna. In our case, a pink carriage with two horses, with this combination we made a city tour from a half hour for € 40, =.
See for an impression the video Giant Ferris Wheel and the Fiaker.
Stands are the Augustinestraße for the Albertina and the Stephansplatz on the north side of the Cathedral.

It's a pleasant way to see the city. Most of the carriages are enclosed which, whilst is a welcome in the winter when it is very cold, means that you get no information about the buildings you are seeing. As there were 5 of us I sat up the top with the driver. It was snowing and very cold but he told me lots about Vienna and I got some better photos than I would have had I been in the carriage!
There are different length tours to choose from. Under time pressure I took one of the shorter ones but it covered most areas.
You can pick up a horse carriage from outside St. Stephens Cathedral
My first Fiaker ride was in April 2005 and it was surprise birthday gift from someone special. He arranged for the Fiaker to come to my apartment so that we can ride in style to my birthday party held at a restaurant in the 1st district. So, there we were, dressed in our formal outfits, and riding in a Fiaker to a restaurant for dinner. I felt like those elegant noble ladies in those old days, i.e. before the invention of cars. As I stepped into the horse carriage, I was being helped on board by the driver. With my friend sitting next to me, I sat back and enjoy the beautiful ride. People were looking at us in the Fiaker passing them by. I felt rather strange when I saw people looking or staring at us. Some tourist even took photos! Anyway, it was fun riding in an open Fiaker and it was great to see the inner city sites from a different point of view - from top of a carriage.
Here are the prices for the Fiaker ride:
Rate for a short city tour @ 20 minutes will cost Euro 40.
Rate for grand city tour @ 40 minutes will cost Euro 65
Rate for one hour city tour will cost Euro 95
One Fiaker can seat 4 people, so if you want to save money, go in a group of 4.

Directions: As far as I know, you can find fiakers for hire next to the Stephansdom and in front of the Hofburg palace. There are signs nearby that show the hire rates.
This is probably the first thing that comes to your mind on the mention of Vienna. I love this picture!
Walking around Vienna, seeing "fiaker" is nothin strange. And it fits in perfect!
What we have noticed is that horses in Vienna do not look abused, like the ones we saw in Schwangau
and that made us very happy!

The budget didn't allow it the first few times I was in Vienna, and paying to ride around in a closed carriage in the rain had no appeal on a Christmas visit, but beautiful sunshine and a friend who'd never been there before combined to see us negotiating with the driver of one of the fiakers waiting by the Stephansdom on a day that was a public holiday in June (Corpus Christi - the Thursday following Trinity Sunday).
There's no getting away from the fact that this is both a)expensive and b)very touristy - but what the heck - it was our last day in Vienna, our plans for the day had gone somewhat awry, and it was fun. We opted for the full hour (90 euros). As it was quite early and a holiday, there was very little traffic around our coachman was prepared to make a few unscheduled photo stops. He gave us a knowledgeable running commentary as we clip-clopped along and some unforseen barriers meant we took a couple of unexpected detours.
I don't know that I would say this is a "must-do" in Vienna - I've been an impecunious backpacker in my time, counting every schilling, and riding around in horse-drawn carriages certainly doesn't fit within that budget but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a tourist trap either. Fiakers are as much a part of the Viennese street scene as the grand buildings and the Baroque domes, the horses are well-cared for unlike the broken-down old nags you find in some cities, so if you fancy a taste of bygone days, this could be for you.
Directions: Fiaker stands can be found by the Stephansdom and on the Heldenplatz at the Hofburg.
Make sure you set your price and time before you set off.
A rather touristically clichéed mode of transport in Vienna is to take a Fiaker - a horse-drawn carriage around Vienna. Prices can vary somewhat but for a 20 minute ride you can expect to pay between EUR 50 and EUR 70. Sure you'll get to see some of the sights and have an experience reminiscent of the long-gone k.u.k. era, but if you are unlucky you might have a pony ride which doesn't really satisfy you as it should! There are Fiaker stands all around the 1st district by the major sights - and usually the drivers speak English and will point out sights.

No matter how heavy the traffic in modern Vienna, there always is room for the horsedrawn cab known as the Fiaker. The German word " Fiaker' refer to both the two-horse cab itself and to the cabby, who is generally dressed in pepita-check trousers, a velvet jacket and derby hat.
Once the fiakers were Vienna's taxi transport, but today they are mostly popular for special ceremonial use and as a tourist attraction. Fiaker ranks are near the Imperial Palace, the State Opera and beside St. Stephen's Cathedral. The well-kept vehicles and their picturesque drivers add an attractive bit of color to the Vienna street scene.
The fiaker cabs have a long history, which is recorded in the Fiakerhaus, a building that has belonged to the profession for a century. It now houses the fiaker museum and is located at Veronikagasse 12 in the 18th district.
Today, a traditional use of the fiaker by the Viennese is at Confirmation, when youngsters are brought from St. Stephen's to the Prater amusement park by horse-drawn cabs. They are frequently used to transport wedding parties.
A fiaker ride is almost obligatory for the visitor to Vienna. Each cabby is well-versed in local history and is always delighted to tell visitors stories of the buildings they pass on their horse-drawn tour of his beloved city.

Directions: Next to Stephansdom
Actually this is a difficult one. I had thought about listing fiaker rides under 'tourist traps' but then I felt a sudden, untypical burst of charity. On the one hand, wanting to take a trot around Vienna courtesy of a greatcoated and bewhiskered coachman might seem a trifle predictable. But let us pause! For a fiaker ride is style personified when compared to the kitsch 'gladiators' permanently stationed around Rome's Colosseum (though the plastic plated blighters do give you an idea why countless emperors found it easy to throw people to the lions) The fiaker is arguably less clichéd than the inevitable Venetian gondola ride. Furthermore your coachman is unlikely to think he's in possession of a fine tenor voice, and even less likely to inflict it upon you!
No, a canter round the Ringstasse is not going to be cheap but it will be memorable and it is negotiable - but please be polite about it.You will find the fiaker rank alongside the cathedral in Stephansdom and if you're there in high Summer you might even smell 'em before you see them! Good for the rose bushes. ('er, not that I'm suggesting you carry the free fertiliser through Customs.)

Directions: A cert alongside Stephansdom!
Another nice option if you are tired of walk too much,is take a ride in one of numerous carriages that you'll find in Vienna' streets!.I don't know the price because I didn't had the chance and the time to do it,but I think that is a good idea and see the best part of the city.
Ok, this is afterall a palace in modern-day Vienna.
For the romantics at heart, if strolling down the boulevards of this beautiful city is not a complete experience, perhaps you might wanna try to relive the olden days of horses & carriages. This is certainly the best city to embark on a journey to be remember by long after you've return to the routine of civilization ;-)
may be a little expensive, but so good to visit the city like this
drivers are very kind, may be they could explain better , may be i ve to speck deutsch, but we were french, russian , turc and croatian on board !!!so !!!
Well, it's more of a tourist novelty than a mode of transport....a fiacre (Fiaker) is a traditional-style open carriage drawn by a pair of horses.
They can be found lined up at Stephansplatz, Albertinaplatz & Heldenplatz at the Hofburg.
Expect to pay around € 36 for a 15 to 20 minute trot....& these horses must be among Vienna richest inhabitants!!
Drivers generally speak English & would point out the places of interest en route..
Try to bargain the price!

It's no surprise which presidential candidate the political elite in Philadelphia were rooting for Tuesday, for practical and political purposes.
"It's always good for Philadelphia to have a friend in the White House," City Controller Alan Butkovitz, a Democrat in the heavily Democratic city, said Wednesday in the wake of President Obama's reelection.
The city's support for Obama was again impressive - more than 557,000 votes were cast for the president, representing more than 85 percent of the city's total.
"People in Washington will take note of that," said political consultant Larry Ceisler.
At the traditional day-after luncheon at the Palm restaurant, labor leader John J. Dougherty - whose electricians union runs its own formidable get-out-the-vote operation - echoed that sentiment.

Research Institution:
AbstractMany applications of micro-sensor networks, such as detecting and tracking targets in geodetic coordinates, require accurate knowledge of the network devices' positions and orientations. To meet this need, Toyon Research Corporation proposes to extend the optical localization algorithms developed in Phase I, implement them in efficient C++ software, and integrate, test, evaluate, and demonstrate their performance in an optical sensor network test-bed, as well as in large-scale simulations. The algorithms use inter-node angle measurements from detections of optical beacon signals in the camera image planes. With angle-only information, and one-way network links due to clandestine optical-only communication, 3-D distributed localization is challenging; however, Toyon's novel algorithms have met this challenge, as shown by Phase I results. Phase II development will extend these algorithms to localize larger numbers of nodes in diverse network configurations, and optimize the algorithms to maximize use of available information for improved estimation accuracy. Algorithm evaluation will include detailed analyses of trades in network configurations and limitations, especially related to the constraints of optical-only measurement and communication. To prepare for development beyond Phase II, Toyon will also acquire and test advanced ultraviolet (UV) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras and beacons for covert operation and higher communication rates.

Pitch Perfect, indeed.
Just days after a cappella comedy Pitch Perfect opened nationwide to a solid $14.8 million, its scene-stealing costar, Rebel Wilson, has apparently made a perfect pitch to the movie's distributor, Universal. Deadline reports that Wilson sold the studio on a comedy movie that she would write, produce, and star in.

Modular Parts
Victorian millworks mass-produced a wide range of wooden posts, rails, balusters, moldings, and trim details, which they advertised in catalogues and shipped by railroad all over the country. Soon, every new suburban house had a porch of its own. Porches were even added to Colonial or Federal period homes that had never had one before.

Obamacare is not "FREE" health care
People have finally realized that the word "free" is nowhere to be found in Obamacare's " Affordable Health Care Act". Coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law won't be cheap. A study released Thursday by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation found that government tax credits would lower the sticker price on a benchmark "silver" policy to a little over $190 a month for single people making about $29,000, regardless of their age. For uninsured people who are paying nothing today, this is still a big cost that they're expected to fit into their budgets.

Obamacare is much more than a web site: The Ohio State Medical Association estimates that UnitedHealthcare has canceled contracts with hundreds of Ohio doctors effective Jan. 1. The cancellations include most of the orthopedic surgeons in Dayton, the only hand specialty practice serving the Cincinnati area, a large gastroenterology practice with 2,500 patients that also provides most of the inpatient care at five Cincinnati-area hospitals, and the largest practice of retina specialists serving 600 UnitedHealthcare members, many with macular degeneration, in central and southern Ohio. In Connecticut, UnitedHealthcare is terminating about 2,250 physicians, including 810 specialists, Feb. 1, said Mark Thompson, executive director of the Fairfield County Medical Association, prompting the medical associations in Fairfield and Hartford counties to file a federal lawsuit to stop the cancelations. In New York City, UnitedHealthcare's contracts with about 2,100 physicians will be canceled In

As if the millions of Americans set to lose their existing health insurance coverage as a result of Obamacare was not bad enough, a recent survey by Watchdog**** has found that many top hospitals across the nation will no longer be accessible to the average person with a new "eligible" plan. In fact, many major hospitals are being excluded from Obamacare coverage altogether, which means that millions of previously covered individuals will have to settle for subpar care at other "in-network" facilities.

Blather from the left Robert Reich: The other day I heard a young man say he'd rather pay a penalty than buy health insurance under the Act because, in his words, "why should I pay for the sick and the old?" The answer is he has a responsibility to do so, as a member the same society they inhabit.
The Act also depends on richer people paying higher taxes to finance health insurance for lower-income people. We are becoming a vastly unequal society in which most of the economic gains are going to the top. It's only just that those with higher incomes bear some responsibility for maintaining the health of Americans who are less fortunate.
But there would be no reason to reform and extend health insurance to begin with if we did not have moral obligations to one another as members of the same society.
Can you spell Income Redistribution?

If you like it you can keep it: President Barack Obama tried this month to defuse a political crisis over his health-care overhaul with an eleventh-hour offer to let people keep their noncompliant health policies an extra year — if insurers agreed. But that offer likely will mean little for Ohioans upset with the notices they received in recent months telling them that those policies were being discontinued. Medical Mutual of Ohio, one of the state's largest sellers of health insurance to individuals, said yesterday that it will not extend its plans that do not comply with the Affordable Care Act for an extra year.

exactly what you have said should not be done. he practically begged to go back to square-one. initially he expected the insurance companies to accomplish in 31 days what our supposedly tech-savvy and hip young government workers could not do in over 3 years...and that is to even put together a fully funtioning web site. this should have its own entry in the dictionary under the word boondoggle and it's many synonyms. time for more coffee.....hey wheres my sweet roll????

asknot, they yapping has continued for many other government deemed problems and programs. just look at the list of carrer politcal-fixers that keep cozying themselves up to the government trough at the taxpayer expense. in our mis-guided and infantile way we have been allowing them to screw up for so long that it has become the norm. our elected officials have insulated themselves so well within the bubble, that is the "Government", that they are never held to task. take this administration, you blatantly lie... no worries we'll transfer you with a raise in pay. tell lies and take one for the team, no problem time to start your campaign for the presidency, be the Mac-Daddy of lies and finish your lame duck session only to collect your bennies for the rest of your natural life while leaving your blunders to the suffering of the American people. btw, in case you have not noticed...other than continuing to fix the massive screw-up which is "heathcare.gov", they did

asknot, in my area a local group of doctors have been slowly but surely buying up the local hospitals and they currently operate under one umbrella. many regional hospitals are finding it hard to stay afloat for various reasons. one thing that many do not focus on is the high cost of higher education. the anwer is not another d*** government subsidy. the costs associated with becoming primary care physicians as well as the multitude specialists are astronomical. not to mention the costs that medical caregivers pay to join partnerships. that is another story unto itself. the insurance companies are the demons dejour, but soon enough under the ACA, you can bet your bottom dollar they will be just like Social Security...broke and bleeding money. the politicians are good at many things but unfortunately managing our country much less our healthcare system is not one of them. god help us.

asknot...thank you..i really enjoyed the video as well as the gentleman that presented it. the video is not for the slow mind. he flies through the information fairly quickly. he brings up some great points along with interesting statistics. as he said the "problem" is complex and there is no short answer. in the end the goal is to make it free for some, affodable for others and finally a drain on our government. i won;t even call the government taxpayers...we are more akin to borrowers than payers for the most part. the ACA does not address many of the problems that we face and should not even be considered a basis on which to build. the democrats think it is better than sliced bread and they are in charge so give me a slice and butter me up. at least i can eat.

asknot...i will say this about medications...if we provide public monies for the R&D that results in an effective medication, we should get pricing that reflects our contribution. the Wal-Mart model is low prices guaranteed. just as we have folks not taking jobs due to low wages, what shall we expect from our doctors due to the inability to set their prices? btw, i have found that many doctors will work with a patient regarding many costs. the hospitals seem to be the fly in the ointment. but they have their own set of issues to deal with. dang it i am missing my show!
Posted 977 days ago.
asknot, before i go to check out a show i enjoy, i wanted to say thanks for posting the information. it was helpful and interesting. in the end...it still sounds like we are trying to get something on the cheap and we slam so many others for doing the same thing. have a great evening.

"With 15 of 18 manufacturing industries reporting growth in November relative to October, the positive growth trend characterizing the second half of 2013 is continuing," said Bradley Holcomb, chairman of the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Business Survey Committee.
"ISM respondent comments for November are telling in this regard," Waldman asserted in his blog post. "Some survey respondents noted the strong order rate and good business climate. Others remarked that federal-policy difficulties have been creating business caution and uncertainty. Essentially flat manufacturing output growth in the second quarter of this year with only 1 percent growth in the third quarter testify to the real impact of uncertainty."
"Much improved world financial and economic stability is the key positive for U.S. factories," he said. "But the halting and tepid nature of the recovery in such critical areas as the eurozone and large emerging markets unfortunately means that global improvement is not doing as much as it should for U.S. manufacturing growth and job creation. Further, U.S. federal-policy difficulties continue to suppress capital spending, a key demand driver for the factory sector.

The Tornado is a freestyle move that can easily be used as an efficient offensive move. When using this move, the defender will often get confused and think your are only passing the ball behind his head.
The strength of this move is the spin you perform after passing the ball above the defender's head. The spin leaves the defender behind you and leave you open for a drive to the basket.
Move Type: Game
Tip: Before attempting this, fix your defender by dribbling without moving laterally for a few seconds. If they drop their arms, you'll be able to perform the move with ease.Read More
Dribble the ball low to make the defender bend down a little.
With one hand only, put the ball on the back of your defender.
With the opposite hand, hit the ball so it comes back to you above the head of your defender.Read More
Located on 155th street and 8th avenue in New York City is the legendary playground of Rucker Park. What's special about this court is the level of the game played. Rucker is a pure place of street basketball expression where you will see the wildest, latest, and most impressives moves ever. The park got it's name from a man who had a vision to use streetball as his tool to give the city's youth the opportunity to express themselves. His name, Holcombe Rucker, the man who changed the game forever. The park was opened on February 23rd 1956 which was first named as P.S. 156 Playground. It wasn't until 1974, 9 years after Mr.Rucker past away, a local law re-named it Holcombe Rucker.Read More
You will find here 6 major tips to improve your shoot.
1. Get open.
Create a lead before you receive the ball. Take advantage of your teammates to find an open shot position. Set up the shot you want. "Hoped Shots" rarely end up in the basket.
2. Shot selection.
Know your ability and your shooting percentage. Concentrate a lot while shooting practice. This is important to have a higher percentage during practice. Some good practice shooters may become only average game shooters, but there are no poor practice shooters who are excellent game shooters.
Know where your teammates are before shooting. Make sure no teammate is open for a better shot. Know when to shoot. Passing up a good shot is just as important as taking a bad shot. Be aware of defensive players' and offensive rebounders' positions.
Move Type: Game
Tip: This move is easier to carry out when the defender is turned slightly so that their side faces you.Read More
An American-invented game hinged to science, skill and speed, basketball is played by two teams with five or (in rare circumstances) fewer players on each side. The ball is round and can be batted, bounced, rolled or thrown within the jurisdiction of the playing rules. The object of the game is tossing the ball through one of the two 10-foot-high baskets at opposite ends of the floor. If Team A shoots successfully into its own basket, it' s two or three points for Team A. It is also two points for Team 6 if Team A mistakenly shoots successfully into Team B' s basket.Read More
