When Josh McDaniels became the Broncos' new head coach in 2009, the then 33-year-old became the youngest head coach in the NFL — only to be supplanted by 32-year-old Raheem Morris a week later. McDaniels was heralded for his offensive ingenuity with the Patriots, guiding the NFL's all-time highest-scoring offense, and was seen as a coach on the rise. Even with all the praise and accolades, though, many thought he wasn't yet ready to manage his own team — and it turns out he wasn't. McDaniels went just 11-17 during his first head coaching stint and didn't make it through two full seasons in Denver before being fired. Now, after a rebirth in New England this year, the now 36-year-old McDaniels is a hot commodity on the coaching market once again. Only this time, he'd be smart to avoid the circus all together. In his first season back in New England, McDaniels was a major factor in returning the Patriots' offense to their place atop the NFL. His role in orchestrating that league-best attack has also restored some credibility to his reputation, still reeling from his failures in Denver. So, while his stock begins to soar once again, NFL executives will undoubtedly prepare to hit the jackpot on what they hope to be Bill Belichick 2.0. Seven head coaching vacancies opened up on Monday, and a few of them actually seem rather enticing — specifically the Bears and Chargers. But McDaniels will be best served to spend more time developing under Belichick and waiting for the right opportunity. McDaniels already hinted that he was comfortable in New England, calling any queries "irrelevant" during a conference call on Monday and apparently declining interviews with a few suitors already. That decision may not be easy for someone as competitive as McDaniels, as he certainly still has his eye on leading a team of his own again someday, but it's the right one. After spending three years in three different cities, never mind regions of the country — he was the offensive coordinator in St. Louis in 2011 — McDaniels may seek some stability for him and his family. One more season, at least, in New England will help calm the concerns of the constant relocating, and it's not like there will be any shortage of suitors for his services in the near future. McDaniels is one of the NFL's hottest young coaching prospects and he will find a franchise of his own soon enough. But for now he's best served sticking in New England and maybe getting another Super Bowl ring for his collection. Have a question for Luke Hughes?

"Imply," not "infer." You inferred it from their implication.
Carry on.
I think one incentive for carpooling might be to exempt carpools from having to pay for tolls across SR520, I90, or the Narrows Bridge.
Actually, Greg and the City did kill the monorail.
Ron Sims, on the other hand, is Mr. Practicality, and is more about doing than showing up for Vanity Fair spreads, as you can tell from the latest Transit Now package he did.
I agree about the incentive for carpools for the bridges. But they may need to have 3 adults to qualify.
Thank you for the sanity:
"INCENTIVES are the best way to spark change. They empower and reward citizens and get them on your side. Tax breaks for not driving and using transit or carpooling, quick and convenient transit options, supporting viable transit projects, I dunno, etc."
I keep saying that in response to ECB's stupid ranting that we should tar and feather all drivers.
1. The RTID portion include a huge, really bad NEW highway. RTID's exec. committee earlier today approved the plan WITH the Cross-Base Highway. That is already the subject of environmentalists' lawsuits.
2. ST's LINK light rail is not over budget. The line was reduced to 14 miles in order to stay within the voter-approved budget. It is on-schedule to be completed in 2009, to the Airport. Hardly a "line to nowhere" . . ..
Oh, Gomez. I don't have the time to respond at length. But tell me again how a rapid transit route running from West Seattle to downtown (and on to Ballard) is useless? Particularly now, with the viaduct coming down, and everyone screaming and yelling about how all those poor people in West Seattle will get downtown without the viaduct? Seems to me we could use the monorail now.
Also, yes, West Seattle isn't as dense as it could be -- kind of a glorified suburb. But you don't build rapid and mass transit to serve the place is a city is at the moment it's constructed and all the years that came before. You build it for the future. West Seattle isn't very dense -- but it would get dense, and get dense quick, if it were served by rapid transit.
When the built the tube in London and the U-Bahn in Berlin they built stations in the middle of empty fields--housing sprung up around 'em. Rapid transit attracts new construction and density.
Nice typo.
"If I hated you, I wouldnt read you. Im critical when I need to be."
hahaha oh brother, I think someone's balls just dropped.
Oh, man, Dan! I knew I left off a ton of things, but you reminded me right there of one:
Building mass transit leads to development around those areas.
... unless the area is already developed. Most mass transit in major cities was built half a century or nearly a century ago, as cities were still developing. So of course new stations spurred development: the cities were growing outward anyway and there was new, accessible space to work with. There's not a lot of free space in West Seattle, LQA or Interbay, and I freely admit that Link is not going to spur serious new development in the south side.
Developed areas develop by having human factors that create demand. Jobs. Aesthetic nature. Affordable homes. Train stops? Not so much.
(and yes, I realize writing an entry like this is like putting a bullseye on my back)
But... West Seattle isn't developed, Go. You said so yourself. Train stops, rezone, building boom -- we're getting the boom anyway, just without building the kind or urban mass transit infrastructure that makes a city livable.
I gotta go. Can't argue all day. I'll just point to every big city on the planet, Gomez, from Cairo to London to New York to Chicago to Tokyo. Rapid transit works.

Dan mimicking the double-post tic?! I love it!
Look at RTID project list: $1.2 b to "widen" I-405; $350 million to "add capacity" to SR 167; $870 million to connect 509 to I-5; and millions more in "congestion relief."And as of today's vote $277 million for Cross Base highway!
And you trusted 'em.
"If I hated you, I wouldnt read you. Im critical when I need to be."
Get over yourself. Your typical criticism is a couple of lines of your own opinions presented as facts, without any sort of supporting references or analysis. If that's the best that you can do, then you shouldn't bother.
This is more along the lines of what I expected from Freaky Friday. Way to get your digs in, Gomez.
"Developed areas develop by having human factors that create demand.[...] Train stops? Not so much."
Waiter, check please.
Speaking as a West Seattle resident, its been an interesting year in the face of the condo development/conversions that have been happening and the reaction of people in the neighborhood about density: "We have no transit! How are all of these people going to get around!"
No shit, dumbfucks!
Josh is right about the RTID (or Legislation Beggin Seattle To Vote It Down) including the Cross-Base Highway ... AGAIN!
They killed it and then brought it back.
Looks like a Yes-No vote for me (which unfortunately means a No vote since they won't let us vote for each part).
As to West Seattle having no transit after killing the monorail ... consequences.
Building mass transit leads to development around those areas.
... unless the area is already developed. Most mass transit in major cities was built half a century or nearly a century ago, as cities were still developing.
Look at the Third street rail in SF if you are twisted on whether developed cities (one that had Seattle's population more than a century ago) can still benefit and in-fill around new transit lines.
"INCENTIVES are the best way to spark change."
I'm all for that. But it works both ways -- replacing the viaduct with another waterfront highway is an incentive for car use. Just because something is the status quo doesn't mean it isn't social engineering.
You're incorrect. What killed the Green Line - from W. Seattle to Crown Hill, to be exact - was the financing cost. Forget $4-6 billion; the killer headline was the $11-13 billion figure, with interest and financing, for just over 13 miles; the last minute "revamp" as you call it came too late and wasn't even a consideration. But, no surprise: The Stranger got this story wrong from the get-go, why change now?
13. For what it's worth, the projects listed all add up to a bit under $3 bil, and the additions supplement and update outdated highways in several areas.
The monorail would have cost no less than $4-6 billion, $4-6 bil+ to build one line that serves a few thousand people a day in a couple of neighborhoods.
But that said, the bill is far from perfect and I'm sure you can find 100 reasons why.
Josh is right about the RTID (or Legislation Beggin Seattle To Vote It Down) including the Cross-Base Highway ... AGAIN!

Looks like a Yes-No vote for me (which unfortunately means a No vote since they won't let us vote for each part).
And some of those roads projects are critically important where no other funds exist (520 and south park bridge, for example). RTID has a few shitty parts, a few good parts and a bunch of oh well parts in it, but ST2 is all golden. You should vote yes.
In order for a transit project to be on budget, it must
1) go the original planned distance, not 2/3 of the distance; AND
2) stay on budget.
Light Rail is not on budget. One out of two is a nice try, but nice tries only count for 4 year olds. The 21 mile Phase 1 project is not only not on budget, it does not even exist.
So STOP with the light rail is on budget! crap. Youll turn supporters who can count into brick throwers.
this is the longest post ever, but i appreciated the first two paragraphs.
And if I hated you I wouldn't read you either, Gomez, but if I were a member of your family I would stage an intervention to get you off the CRACK!
"topography and layout leads to only a handful of feasible thoroughfares"
I guess you've never been to that place, y'know the one with the extensive mass transit systems and the irregularly laid out cities, what's it called again. It's on the tip of my tongue
Oh that's right - EUROPE!!
"topography and layout leads to only a handful of feasible thoroughfares"
I guess you've never heard of that place, y'know the one with the extensive mass transit systems and the irregularly laid out cities, what's it called again. It's on the tip of my tongue
Oh that's right - EUROPE!!
Grant's comment wins. I laughed.
San Francisco does not have over a dozen transit systems. There's Muni, Bart, AC Transit, Golden Gate Transit, and that's pretty much it.
"topography and layout leads to only a handful of feasible thoroughfares"To be fair, most big cities with good transit (European, Asian or American) are fairly flat. Tokyo has arguably the best public transit (at least the system that is most widely used) and it is almost completely flat through its entire region (the Great Kanto plain). London is flat, New York is mostly flat, Paris is completely flat, Berlin is flat, Stockholm is flat, Seoul is flat, etc.
The only city I can think of that has extremely varied terrian and a great public transit system is Hong Kong, and that has basically two train lines and a bunch of funky buses, ferries and cable cars.
San Francisco is hilly, but transit there sucks. There's basically one mass transit line (BART), a few subway stations outside of that and a bunch of street cars. Anyone who has commuted down Geary Street in SF would not think that transit there is good. (Sure it's better than Seattle, but so is Portland)
1. New road lanes ARE new roads. Duh. Just because they aren't brand-spankin'-new highways in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean the road expansions in RTID aren't new miles of pavement. They still induce demand, still create new impervious surface (surface that can't absorb all the shit that cars produce), and still spur sprawl in the hinterlands.
2. I don't know your source for the claim that "most cities" are built on flat land, have grid systems, and don't have to deal with bodies of water. San Francisco, Austin, New York, Chicago, Portland... Anyway, your answer -- "but Seattle is exceptional"--proves Dan's point.
3. I don't think anyone at the Stranger has ever said people are "car loving" and "car obsessed." People are, however, selfish and often irrational in their behavior. Driving in heavy traffic is often much slower than biking, for example, but the most popular "solution" for traffic congestion has always been "build more roads." That, paradoxically, induces more demand for roads. This is not a controversial claim. Try driving in Houston sometime, with its miles and miles of freeways twenty lanes wide, and you'll see that we can't build our way out of congestion.
(As an aside, if you rode the bus, you'd know that people with kids ride it all the time. I'm not saying it's ideal--rail would be much better-- but it's pretty classist to say that all people with kids "have no choice" but to buy cars. Some people, myself included, actually can't afford cars.
4. I like Sound Transit. I can't wait for it to open.
30. My sources hath failed me!
That said, that's still a lot of transit, especially considering that Muni handles the bulk of it.
34. Dan won't argue with me here (well, he also had to run), and I won't argue with you here, ECB. Points taken into consideration, with the usual skepticism ;P
Some people, myself included, actually can't afford cars.
Maybe if The Stranger staffers got paid for their Slogging and could actually afford a car, they'd stop Slogging endlessly against automobiles.
@32 - I like Sound Transit too.
But the cross-base highway is a deal killer.
And can't they use Flex-Car like everyone else, @34?
Hey gomez,
If it was the MVET pure and simple, why did the Monorail Recall in November of 2004 (a year and half AFTER the MVET started) fail by a vote 2/3 in favor of keeping the project going?
Um, because everyone still believed it would only cost $2 billion and that the MVET would be over in a few years?
"The citys officials, not the highways that people use, are the problem."
AND the people that voted against mass tranist, especially the one in the 60's. If only we could ride those stadiums to work! Fuckwits
"They still induce demand, still create new impervious surface (surface that can't absorb all the shit that cars produce), and still spur sprawl in the hinterlands."
The "impervious sufaces" argument doesn't make sense.
Hey K X one, don't be dissin' on the people that didn't vote for transit back in the 60's & 70's. Seattle was a very different town back then, and there weren't all the rich people that we have now.
I didn't live here in the Boeing Bust, but I had family that did, and it was a bad, scary time. It took until the mid 80's for the town to start to recover from that. Nobody was thinking about transit.
In retrospect, the 80's would have been the perfect time to build regional transit: Property values were still low, downtown Seattle was all torn up for the bus tunnel anyway, and the sprawl wasn't quite as sprawly.
But that was during the "Reagan Revolution", when the destruction of the middle class was started. He was putting a kindly face on aggressive greed, and everyone was watching Dynasty. Besides, we were still trying to get 90 completed.
speaking of the downtown tunnels, why is it that nothing is being done with them?
Will @ 35
"I like Sound Transit too.
But the cross-base highway is a deal killer."
So you are going to pass up a package that gets light rail to Bellevue, Microsoft, and Redmond in the east; Tacoma
in the south; and the U-Dist, Roosevelt, Northgate, Shoreline, Lynnwood and Alderwood in the north?
Over a shitty little highway that nobody knew about or cared about until a few weeks ago?
I can respect those who can't accept the RTID package because it builds a lot of new lanes. But the Cross Base is not the line in the sand to throw away two years of regional planning and negotiating that went into the ST and RTID packages.
BTW--the RTID package that builds all those new lanes actually does a few nice things for Seattle. It will help fully fund new overpasses and ramps for cars and transit at Lander and Spokane streets. These two projects will actually begin to implement some of the things one would have to do if you were going to do a surface option on the waterfront. They will be done by the time the viaduct likely comes down. The package also will help pay for improvements to Mercer that will help knit Queen Anne and South Lake Union together. The RTID also replaces the South Park Bridge, a vital lifeline to one of Seattle's best working class neighborhoods, and the worst bridge in the state. It also builds bus lanes on Aurora in Shoreline that match the ones Metro is building in Seattle and it builds a new off ramp for buses only for the HOV lanes coming from South King or Pierce county. The Seattle stuff is almost all transit. Take a look at it again.
Hey Gomez,
Please give any reference that indicates that the tax will only last a few years. No one except Dick F ever indicated that the tax would only take a few years.
If there was one thing that killed the monorail it was their publishing the full finance costs of the project. Try to find that information on ST site for Link segment one or any of their projects.
Obviously the SMP made many mistakes and should have been open and transparent a little earlier but compared to ST they did great for moving the project and bringing in the hard costs only 20% over the voted on budget with a fixed price contract. Had the leadership in the city and county pushed the state to give the $200 million transit mitigation for the AWV the total finance costs would have been within the acceptable multiple.
Hey K X one, don't be dissin' on the people that didn't vote for transit back in the 60's & 70's. Seattle was a very different town back then, and there weren't all the rich people that we have now.
You know what? Fuck that. Seattle has been considering and rejecting mass rapid transit since 1911. The argument in favor is always, "Human populations tend to grow. Ours will grow and we will need an efficient way to move all those people around. The land required for mass transit will never be cheaper than it is right now."
Those things were true in 1911, they were true in 1960, they were true when Seattle shot down a previous effort to create rapid transit in the '70s, and they're true now.
I don't know what country you live in, but Americans ARE car-loving and car-obsessed. It's part of the culture. What do kids do when they turn 16? I don't know how insulated you have to be not to realize that a majority of Americans LOVE driving. Did you read that report about how high the price of gasoline would have to be to get people to find alternatives to driving?
Just because someone complains about their SUV, doesn't mean they don't love it. Sometimes my friend will complain about her husband. "He leaves his dirty socks everywhere." Do you think she doesn't love him?
ECB - "I like Sound Transit. I can't wait for it to open."
Assuming you are talking about LINK, how do you like something that doesn't exist?
And could you explain the induced demand analysis to which you linked? Wouldn't link rail to Overlake induce demand for housing even father from urban centers? Wouldn't that encourage sprawl?
uh huh. Sure, Judah.
Tell me how much you will support mass transit the next time unemployment here hits 12%, or Microsoft lays off 60% of its Seattle workforce.
Get to know your history, dear. It will help you in your life.
As to people with kids riding the bus, I was talking with Venus Velazquez today and she was describing when she takes the bus with her two kids - and when she drives with them.
She's right.
More transit more often if you want parents to take kids places.
Gomez-I think you do have a lot of good points and I even agree with some of them. However, I don't think the Green Line would have been "useless." I live in Ballard, and every time I'm riding the excruciatingly slow #17 or #18 stuck in rush hour traffic, I wish fervently for a monorail to get me to my destination in a speedy and efficient fashion...Transit sucks so bad I end up driving even when I feel I shouldn't (like to downtown), because even though I'm stuck in the same traffic as the bus, I'll still get there faster...etc. etc.

If the weather were a football game, Winter would be flagged for a late hit, and Spring would be whistled for "delay of game."
Millions of people are dealing with another day of snow, slush and chill, nearly a week after Spring officially began.
This month will go down in the record books -- in many parts of the country.
Gone but not forgotten. The spring storm that dumped snow from the Colorado Rockies to the Jersey Shore is now a melting memory but not before crushing snow fall records in parts of the Midwest.
In places like St. Louis and Peoria, Illinois records for March dating back a century or more were buried under a foot to a foot and a half of snow. Springfield, Illinois got 17 inches, that's the most ever in a single day.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration there was snow on the ground Monday in nearly half of the lower 48 states were covered by snow. Compare that to less than 8 percent a year ago.
And the storm system had wide reaching effects, making roads a mess, keeping air lines grounded.
And delivering powerful thunderstorms, high winds and cold air to the sunny south.
In most areas the snow only added up to a few inches, but it quickly turned into thick, heavy slush.
In Pittsburgh, even the plows had problems. Snow blowers bogged down.
Snow remains in the forecast for the next few days, leaving people here and elsewhere wondering what ever happened to that thing called spring?

Bishop EW Jackson: Democrats Enslave Black People
On a conference call for Rick Scarborough's Vision America, Bishop E.W. Jackson of STAND (Staying True to America's National Destiny) America PAC claimed that the Democratic Party "embraces this anti-Christian, anti-God" worldview. Bishop Jackson continued to say that the Democratic Party is "nothing less than a party of dependence, [and] in effect created a new form of slavery on a liberal plantation that it wants to keep black people on."
Bishop Jackson and Rick Scarborough joined Tom DeLay and Phyllis Schlafly in releasing a voter's guide that shows the average score of Republican and Democratic members of Congress from the American Conservative Union. Scarborough called himself "a Christocrat" but that "as a matter of principle I simply vote Republican 90 percent of the time." Schlafly added that "you're better off to vote the straight Republican ticket than the Democrat ticket."
All four speakers criticized the Democrats while praising the Tea Party. Bishop Jackson maintained that the Democratic Party represents "godlessness," and stands for "fiscal irresponsibility, moral relativism or amorality, anti-Christian bigotry, and a foreign policy of surrender and appeasement." Addressing concerns that the Tea Party was ignoring social issues, Bishop Jackson said that Tea Parties are "very, very socially conservative as well," and Scarborough asserted that he receives "rousing ovations at Tea Parties when I talk about the God-factor."
Towards the end of the call, the speakers defended California Republican nominee Meg Whitman, whose campaign is reeling from the scandal surrounding her employment and firing of her family's maid who was an undocumented immigrant. Scarborough even wondered why Jerry Brown isn't prosecuting the maid, and DeLay said that "this is the plight of almost every employer in America: you don't know what you're hiring."

How is hiatal hernia diagnosed?
Most often, a hiatal hernia is found incidentally with gastrointestinal X-rays, EGD, and sometimes CT scan, since by itself, it causes no symptoms. Only when there are associated symptoms of GERD will the patient usually seek medical care. With symptoms of GERD, it is likely that a hiatal hernia is present since most patients with GERD have hiatal hernias.
Most often, the diagnosis is confirmed by a barium swallow or upper GI series, where a radiologist uses fluoroscopy to observe in real time as the swallowed barium outlines the esophagus, stomach and upper part of the small intestine. In addition to seeing the anatomy, the radiologist also can comment upon the movement of the muscles that work to propel the barium (and presumably) food through the esophagus into the stomach and beyond.
Endoscopy is a procedure performed under sedation by a gastroenterologist to look at the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. A hiatal hernia may be diagnosed easily in this manner and more importantly, the physician may be able to see complications of GERD from the reflux of acid. Endoscopy is used to diagnose scarring with strictures (narrowing of the esophagus) and precancerous conditions like Barrett's esophagus. Biopsies or small tissue samples may be taken and examined under a microscope.
What is the treatment for hiatal hernia?
The treatment for hiatal hernia is really treatment for GERD and minimizing acid reflux. This includes decreasing acid secretion in the stomach, avoiding substances that are irritating to the stomach lining, and mechanical means to keep the remaining acid in the stomach where it belongs.

Ex-official testifies about China's one-child enforcement
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - A former population control administrator in China gave grim congressional testimony Wednesday about Chinese government tactics for dealing with unauthorized pregnancies: nighttime raids, forced abortions, destruction of offending women's houses.
Gao Xiao Duan said her office paid informants to report on unauthorized pregnancies of neighbors, relatives and friends. She provided extensive details to the House International Relations human rights subcommittee on how China's "one child per couple" system functions.
The hearing was the second called in less than a week by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., for testimony on alleged rights violations in China. Former dissident Harry Wu testified Thursday on prison labor abuses, including forced organ removal.
House Republicans are stepping up pressure on China before President Clinton's visit to Beijing starting June 25.
Both some Democrats and Republicans, along with Chinese dissidents, have urged Clinton to cancel his visit, saying it would give legitimacy to what they call a repressive government. Other lawmakers say the trip should be canceled because of alleged illegal campaign contributions from China and investigations of the possible transfer of U.S. missile technology to China. But the president, in a speech planned Thursday, will contend it is unwise to isolate China.
A CBS News poll, released Wednesday, indicated that 59 percent of Americans believe Clinton should make the trip to China. Thirty-two percent said he should not go and nine percent did not know or didn't answer. Fifty percent said trade with China was good for the U.S. economy, 23 percent said it was bad and 14 percent said it had no effect. Thirteen percent didn't answer or didn't know.
The poll, based on telephone interviews Sunday through Tuesday with a random sample of 1,126 adults, had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
The House has passed eight bills that ban Chinese products made allegedly by slave or convict labor and bar U.S. travel by Chinese officials who engage in religious persecution or forced abortions. Senate action is pending.
Still ahead is the annual battle between Congress and the Clinton administration over extending so-called most favored nation trade status to China. Although resolutions have been introduced to deny the extension, it is expected to pass as usual.
At the human rights panel, a videotape of Gao and the building where she ran a birth control office for 14 years included footage of an aborted fetus, a detention cell with bars, an operating room and a computer records center.
"I did so many brutal things. . . . All those . . . years I was a monster in the daytime, injuring others by carrying out the Chinese Communist authorities' barbaric planned birth policy," Gao said in Chinese translated by an interpreter. "But in the evening I enjoyed my life with my children. I could not live such a dual life anymore."
She said she quit her job in Fujian province's Yongwe township this year, fled China and arrived in the United States in April.
"There is a longstanding concern by our government" about Chinese population policy, White House press secretary Mike McCurry said, and the subject has been raised with China.
"These are obviously practices that we consider abhorrent," McCurry said. "That will be part of the president's upcoming trip."
Clinton, criticized for going to China, will speak Thursday on why he is making the trip.
"I think that he believes that a fair amount of politics has been injected into the debate about China," McCurry said, "and I think he wants to separate politics from questions of policy."
McCurry said China insists its official policy prohibits the use of force to compel people to submit to abortion and sterilization. But he said: "Evidence that comes forward suggests there is poor supervision of local officials, who are sometimes under very intense pressure to meet family planning targets."
Smith said Gao's testimony "included depravity of the People's Republic of China program that not even the harshest critics of the program ever suspected. Women are rounded up, held in `population jail cells' and forced and coerced to submit to the killing of their children."
The Chinese government allows most urban couples to have only one child and strongly discourages rural families from having more than two.

Grantville Pennsylvania Golf Courses
|Manada Golf Club
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Wilkes-Barre Golf Club -- Stay out of the woods!
|Review by: Greg
|"WB Muni", as it's called, is a challenging golf course for the area it resides in (many sub-par golf courses with many golfers of all abilities). The staff are professional and the course shows this. Beware of the rangers, however. If you are struggling, which will happen if you leave the fairways, the rangers are there to let you know you're playing slowly. A couple of holes are consistently riddled with goose dung, so beware. The greens are challenging to read. Loads of sand, well manicured. Keep it straight and rely on your approach shots to be tight to score on this course. A couple of interesting horseshoe tee boxes for variety-sake. I enjoy this course (when I'm playing well :)). It's worth the trip. Nice practice range and putting green. There is also a sand play green! Well done, Muni!

She really isn't a princess anymore, Alderaan is gone. She was also a Senator, also gone. She became a rebel. By now a commander in the continuing battle to win system after system against the remaining Imperial Fleet.
she should at least get sopaipillas for the sides of her head..
No slave girl outfit, okay?
Is that a PINK light saber she's holding behind her back?
Y'know, I always thot George Lucas missed the opportunity of a millennium when he could have had Leia (who, after all, shares all of Luke's DNA) show up at the end of Ep. 6 to be the one to save the day with her newly discovered ability to use the Force.
I was thinking pink chain saw.
Is the force strong with Leia? All we ever saw hinting that was her picking up a telepathic message from Luke at the end of Ep. 5.
Yes but you have to go back and listen to what others were saying. Some of it was bleed over from Leia's tapping the force without knowing it. But she was protected from her father's sensing of her power for some time but eventually he found out.
He found out from Luke that there was a sister, but if I remember correctly, her identity was not revealed to daddy dearest.
During the battle on the second Death Star he saw it in Luke's mind.
Didn't she say she reigned over the outer territories as well? So even though Alderaan no longer exists,she is still recognized as a Royal and ruler of the Realm.

Released: Dec 07th, 2009
Running Time: 190 Min.
Director: Jay Sin
Company: Jay Sin Video
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Cumshot Recap, Outtakes, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Rico Strong, Prince Yahshua, Aline (III), Hillary Scott, Ice Cold, Tara Lynn Foxx, Jon Jon, Tee Reel, Andi Anderson, Shyla Stylez, Sean Michaels, Melody Nakai
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Jay Sin has become the fast rising star of porn directors and is now ready to raise the bar in the interracial market with Black Where You Belong, a six scene smorgasbord of huge black cocks splitting petite white girl pussies (and also ebony cutie Melody). This new series features Jay Sin staples like gaping, raunchy double penetration, assholes stretched and stuffed to unbelievable extremes and that surreal Jay Sin way of costuming and shooting girls that no one else has figured out.
Wow! Six equally rough, intense, lengthy, but insanely erotic interracial three-ways (with one four-way) make up Jay Sin's best-seller Black Where You Belong. Sin has little trouble closing in on a girl's gaping anus and in this case, all holes are filled in every scene by large black cocks.
Hillary Scott, with perfect tits and looking very skinny, handles Rico Strong and Prince Yahshua's large members in her mouth, her pussy, her asshole and back into her mouth, culminating with double penetration, choking, slapping and loads of cum on her glasses. It's hard to believe such a little girl can take both cocks, and the scene is simply maniacal.
But no less hot is lovely black babe Melody Nakai, who gets fucked every which way in every hole by Sean Michaels and Yahshua. She's a beautiful, busty lass who loves cum on her face, mouth, chin and tits. Young-looking blonde Andi Anderson goes nuts when on her bed full of teddy bears, she gets a rough anal pounding from Ice Cold and Rico Strong, with plenty of A2M added in. That's only the first disc.
Disc two begins with chunky, big-breasted Aline getting her asshole thrashed by Tee Reel, Strong and Jon Jon as they piledrive her and spread her gaping hole wide enough to run a toy train through. Girl Scout Tara Lynn Foxx is happy to pull up her checkered skirt for the large black cocks of Strong and Michaels. She easily swallows 14 inches of meat while getting her ass jammed by another huge dick. Her white trash tush gets fucked silly and the double penetration leads to two loads of cum on a chocolate chip cookie. Lastly, Shyla Stylez gets fucked in every orifice by Strong and Yahshua.
Jay Sin has emerged as one of the leaders in the strong sex department and fans of the rougher stuff, anal, group sex and interracial scenes will eat this up. Just don't eat that chocolate chip cookie. Disc one has some decent BTS and the second disc contains outtakes.

What is uveitis?
Uveitis is inflammation of the 'uvea' of the eye. The uvea is made up of three parts. The first part is the iris, which is the colored ring of tissue you can see in the mirror. The dark hole in the middle of the iris is the pupil. The second and third parts, which you cannot see directly when looking in a mirror, are the ciliary body and the choroid. They are located behind the iris. An ophthalmologist can visualize them using special examination equipment.
Inflammation of the iris is called iritis. Inflammation of the ciliary body is called intermediate uveitis or cyclitis. Inflammation of the choroid is called choroiditis. Inflammation of all three is called panuveitis.
What causes uveitis?
There are several causes of uveitis, including autoimmune disorders (such as sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Behcet's disease, and ankylosing spondylitis), infections (such as syphilis and toxoplasmosis), and trauma. Additionally, some are "idiopathic," meaning the cause is unknown.

Burning with wodim
Burn Notice
Wodim works behind the scenes in popular CD/ DVD-burning software, but it's even more powerful at the command line.
Many people have used some form of Linux in an appliance or mobile device without knowing. The wodim utility is similarly anonymous: If you have used a desktop CD/ DVD burner like Brasero or K3, then you've used wodim, and you've also used other tools, such as cdrdao and genisoimage; however, the main command is wodim. The tools on the desktop are just the front ends for wodim's array of command options.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-04-30/Discussion report
'ReferenceTooltips' by default
Reference Tooltips (stylized as "ReferenceTooltips") allows a user to roll over any inline citation to see reference information, instead of having to jump away from the article text. Yair rand is the initiator of the current discussion to allow inline citation pop-ups to appear by default rather than as a user preference.
At the moment, to enable ReferenceTooltips, any logged-in editor can go to My preferences → Gadgets → and click ReferenceTooltips.
Alternatively, any logged-in editor can manually install the script into their skin.js or their common.js page:
importScript('User:Yair rand/ReferenceTooltips.js');
importStylesheet('User:Yair rand/ReferenceTooltips.css');.
The proposal is to make this choice the default, so all editors have this gadget. Any editor who does not want it can then disable it in their preference panel.
At the time of writing, there were 17 support votes and 5 oppose votes for this proposal. The support votes are mainly driven by the fact that it would make references more usable. For example, instead of clicking on a reference and then jumping to the bottom of the page to find the reference, ReferenceTooltips enables the user to move their mouse over the reference and read the information. The oppose votes are compelled by the technical limitations of ReferenceTooltips and how the pop-ups would make the Wikipedia experience worse. For instance, enabling the reference to pop-up by mere hovering will cause pop-ups all over the place if an editor is just scrolling through a page. In addition, there are concerns that browsers will block the pop-up as an advertisement.
Some suggestions to avert a technical mishap are to only enable a reference to pop-up when the user clicks the inline citation. Still, all of the oppose votes believe that most editors won't use the reference tool and only researchers would be able to use this tool. The oppose voters believe that ReferenceTooltips should be left as an opt-in tool or gadget rather than being available by default as many editors would find it obtrusive.
In favour of supporting the gadget by default, an argument provided by Silver seren was: "Yes! This would be extremely useful, rather than having to hit back to go to the spot you were in the article before you clicked it. This way, [you] can tell beforehand if it's a reference you will actually want to click into. Furthermore, it lets you know directly which reference that number is referring to, without having to go to the reference list. [ReferenceTooltips] [h]elps you understand the narrative of the article and its references without a bunch of back and forth clicking."
A contention provided by Nageh opposing the proposal (but later moved to "Weak oppose/neutral") was: "The vast majority of unregistered readers give a damn about references. They just want their information and they are done. Also, popups can easily become an annoyance, and they usually annoy me, too, even though I actually like this tool. That does not mean it should be activated by default. Leave it as an opt-in tool, as it is now, and anyone registered and really interested in this additional functionality can easily activate it."
- Agree with Silver seren. A wonderful gadget. Very useful to me. MathewTownsend (talk) 15:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- Useful, perhaps, but murder on a slow connection. I disabled Popups after trying it for the same reason. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Why would connection speed matter? Unlike Popups, this shows you material from the current page. --Tgr (talk) 09:02, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Nice tool. But it will highlight the source in the "References" section instead of opening a new pop-up if that particular source is visible in your screen. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 05:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Horrible thing, I don't want pop-ups all the time. Night of the Big Wind talk 07:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- What if they enact the capability where you have to actually click on the reference for it to pop-up? SilverserenC 08:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Like -- I'd use something like that. Click on it, pop-up opens, click on any part of the screen except to reference to go back. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Sex Signals
The Office of Student Development & Orientation will
sponsor Sex Signals, a sexual awareness program that
uses improv, comedy, and education to get the point
across, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 6, in CSC
Comanche Suites. Through the use of humor, the show
explores how mixed messages, gender role stereotypes
and unrealistic fantasies contribute to misunderstandings
between the sexes. The program provides a solution on
how to deal with these challenges.

Before the event, Paisley tweeted: "Get to jam with an up N coming young Australian guitarist 2night named, um, can't remember." He continued: "Starts with a 'k' I think, anyway, he's got potential ... Karl? Kelvin? Ken? ... Rural ... Rural's the last name, I'm sure of that." Urban joined Paisley for a guitar duet at the benefit concert for the Nashville Country Music Hall Of Fame, calling it "one of the greatest open-mic nights we've ever seen in Nashville". Also attending were country music darling Taylor Swift, Vince Gill and Faith Hill. Paisley tweeted afterward: "Feel so stupid. His name is Keith Urban. Guess he's some sort of big deal. Certainly amazingly talented, great guy. Needs a haircut though."

Hi all,
first of all I want to thank you for your great plugin, it's something that I was really looking for!
I've installed it and already manually generated a sitemap, so I could check the final result and I'm satisfied with it; now, the problems arise with the automatic generation of the sitemap because I see this warning message:
This hosting does not support сURL, so you cannot add a sitemap file automatically.
I'm checking now with my provider if we can activate cURL but this is simply a command for retrieving the sitemap.xml calling a plugin's PHP script, right? Could you please give me the URL to call?
I guess that cURL has to be called by some agent, maybe a cron job: if my provider doesn't provide a support for internal job scheduling, how would you suggest to create a scheduling mechanism?
And after the automatic sitemap creation, will Google take care of retrieving it or is better to force an upload of the newly created sitemap via some other PHP script called by the same cron job?
Sorry for the long mail and thank you for your support,

Is Strattera considered to be a stimulant?
Answers (1)
Hello. I asked my pharmacist 5 months ago, when I first started taking it (60 mg) and he said it's not a stimulant. I don't mean to confuse you, but he did say it's an SSRI. (Serotonin, ?, Reuptake Inhibitor). They work wonderfully!! I don't know what the second "S" stands for!! Sorry! Anytime you'd like to chat, I'm here!
I have been taking Strattera for a few months now and I know for a fact its not a stimulant - doctor and pharmacist told me. And I have taken stimulants in the past and they all required both a prior authorization and had no refills and are classified as controlled substances non of which is true at all of Strattera isn't fast acting like stimulants are its something you have to take daily for a wek or two to feel any effects. My problem with Strattera was that it barely if at all worked for wakefulness but I just got on Nuvigil and so far its just been amazing. Best of luck to you.
oh by the way hun SSRI stands for selective serotin reuptake inhibitor--- it actually is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Similar, but it works on norepinephrine instead of serotonin. You can find more information on Strattera here if you look it up. Take care.

This is so light weight that it literally feels like you're rubbing water on your face. This is indeed a great everyday moisturizer if you're oily skinned, don't think it would do much if you have dry skin. Although it is a good product I think you could buy other good moisturizers for a lower price.

This gel-cream is very light (almost runny) and you only need a tiny amount of it at it spreads over your face so easily without absorbing too soon. Texture is perfect for the combination skin, but I still think this product may be sligtly too greasy for oily skin.
I like the fact that this gel-cream really refreshes the skin, almost like it has some slightly cooling effect, and the scent is very pleasant and refreshing too (and unisex, which makes it perfect for guys as well). It also makes the skin look more beautiful immediately - small wrinkles are less visible and pores are smaller too.
Only downgrade is that for some reason my skin became oily quicker than usual while using this product, but fortunately that didn't result with any breakouts.

I have a love/hate affair with Shiseido. I love the brand, I love that it is Japanese and that Japanese skincare is so innovative (especially concerning brightening skincare) but when I look at the ingredient lists of many Shiseido products I do not see amazing ingredients that one should get for the prices we are paying.
I have oily, acne-prone skin that has been breaking out severely for the last couple of months. I use this Moisturizing Gel-Cream in lieu of the Clarins Eclat du Jour Gel-Cream, because I heard this moisturizer was better for acne-prone skin and had anti-bacterial properties.
It is a very "simple" moisturizer, feels very light and refreshing to my skin, but is not particularly hydrating. I feel like it is more soothing than it is hydrating or moisturizing, and I also thinks it puts a thin (protective) layer over my skin. I like the feeling of the moisturizer, as it's very light and when blended disappears into the skin except for that very thin layer.
The moisturizer goes well with make-up and sunscreen, and doesn't roll up or ball up. I think it actually does have anti-bacterial properties, because my acne has diminished significantly, but I do not think that it is a wonder product or that it completely gets rid of acne. I think it is a great no-fuss moisturizer for people with oily skin (if you have combination skin, I think this might be too light for the dry parts of your skin), that feels nice and light on the skin, but you shouldn't expect miracles from it.
I would repurchase it because I like that it doesn't break me out and even seems to help me with my acne, has a nice feeling, leaves my skin smooth and works well with make-up. I think the Clarins Gel-Cream is very similar to this moisturizer, maybe a bit thicker (the Shiseido Gel-Cream is VERY thin, almost watery at first, I had to get used to it), and more targeted at combination skin than oily skin.

About 4 years ago I got a sample of this used it and it didn't break me out & lasted forever. But I normally do not wear moisturizer so I did not repurchase. Fast forward - I have recently been having tons of skin issues from break outs, and cystic acne to itchy hives that I can not figure out what they are from. So I remember this lotion didn't cause me any problems but all the ones I'm trying lately are, so I go buy it and....NO ISSUES....WHATSOEVER. Idk if u can fully appreciate this, But u should. I had to get put on Retin A and I use this gel-cream before my retin A and it works great. I also use this again under my make up in the am with no issues. THANK GOODNESS.
****EDIT***** I thought my retin A was making my skin super oily but as it turns out if i skip this moisturizer in the am i don't hardly get oily at all.So....its makes me shiny. I will still purchase bcuz I need a moisturizer to use under my retin A and this doesn't break me out. But I'm skipping it & just using my BB cream in the day and Im not blotting every hour anymore, actually not blotting at all.

i love this product! the texture of the gel-cream formulation is great for me. i use it after cleansing and toning with shiseido's other pureness products, and i go to bed happy feeling like i've done something good for my skin. combined with the other two steps, this really helps balance my skin. they do make this in sample size, and although they're really small tubes, i would recommend trying to get a sample if you're not ready to make the plunge. after i tried the sample, i knew it was for me.

I too did not enjoy this moisturizer. It was my first Shiseido product so I was excited to try it, but in all honesty it just put me off the whole line from the start. After about 2 weeks my skin was left very dry, flaking, and I could see fine lines forming on my forehead! It glides on beautifully at first and left a cooling sensation on my skin but after a few weeks it felt like it was providing no moisture whatsoever, and my skin was breaking out in cysts all over. The fragrance is very strong and does indeed smell like alcohol with some added perfume. I finished up the whole jar and by the end my skin was just in dreadful condition. Reading through the ingredients list that was on this site I can see why my skin didn't like it as I cannot tolerate Alcohol Denat or cornstarch. Never again would I repurchase.

I got this along with Pureness cleanser and toner as a set. Nevermind my comment on price as I got it from sales, it's normal price is nonsense for it doesn't moisturize at all.
I will give the devil his due though, it really did control my oily skin against shining all summer long. But as to moisturizing, I had to buy an other product to apply for night, and keep this one for morning to use under make up.

I did not have a good experience with this at all. The only plus side is that it feels light-weight on the skin. The ingredients list is terrible -- cheap, harsh products (Butylene Glycol, SD Alcohol 40-B, Corn Starch, Fragrance etc...) and I don't understand why Shiseido price their products so high for such cheap useless ingredients. The pot it comes in is quie small. I have normal/combo oily skin and found the moisturising qualities of this moisturiser to be useless. My skin became dry and flakey under 2 weeks. This sucked all the moisture from my skin (it contains SD alcohol which is really harsh, strong, irritating...basically pure alcohol) and didn't bring any moisture back. The "good" ingredients that they brag about in the product description are right at the bottom of the list! Which means there is such a miniscule amount that they may as well not even be in there. Although it dried my skin out terribly, when I had it on it also made my skin produce a lot of oil ~(which is what happens when you strip the skin of moisture) and my face became a greasy hot mess, yet dry at the same time! It's overly fragranced and smells like cheap perfume and alcohol. Broke my skin out in small red pimples across my forehead and cheeks. So no, I would not buy this product again.

Definitely would not buy this again!!
Initially, this product was great in the sense that it was very lightweight and it felt nice to put it on the skin. I've been using this for about 3 months and this product is the reason for me breaking out so bad!!! Acne just started to appear gradually, and they were the red painful bumps too!! Left so many scars on my face. I have combination skin. I usually don't break out this bad, but this product broke me out BAD!!! I just recently stopped using it (dumb on my part) and went back to my clinique moisturizer and I already see a difference. I am using the same skincare products, just switched moisturizers. This product really disappointed me. It doesn't help that it's in a very unhygienic tub either. The only thing I like from Shiseido's Pureness line is the softener.

This moisturizer is THE BEST one yet!!! I have found a lightweight, great smelling moisturizer that really does help my skin look more radiant and beautiful. I love this little jar of wonder! I use this as a morning moisturizer. It's perfect for that. My face feels SUPER SOFT and CLEAN. My skin isn't oily or dry after using this product. This is my favorite daytime moisturizer. I don't know why people are saying that it leaves their face feeling and looking oily/shiny. I have not had this product make me look/feel this way. I wash my face twice a day - morning and night. I moisturize morning and night. The only big difference is that I like to use a deeper rich moisturizing cream at night than in the morning, as well as an anti wrinkle eye cream for the night. My skin looks better and feels so much smoother using shiseido's products - Anti wrinkle cream, Night time moisture cream, and the Pureness one for morning. Can't rave about it enough.! It's that good.

How to minimise light pollution dominated discussion at a
meeting of the Lake Hawea Community Association at the
President Dennis Hughes said yesterday, while the association
had not yet decided on a course of action, the 68 people who
attended wanted more information about the impact of public
lighting on night-sky views.
''It is really quite fascinating. It really captured the
There was a strong feeling the night sky was special and ''we
should be doing everything we can to enhance our ability to
view the night sky'', Mr Hughes said.
The meeting discussed the impact of street lighting and
commercial lighting, and the availability of LED lights with
more ''downward shading''.
''There is a whole series of aspects that should be looked
at,'' Mr Hughes said.
''The initial thing is to become far better informed.''
Interest in light pollution was sparked by Lake Hawea
resident Richard Prout, who produced an 11-minute video for
the meeting.
Mr Prout told the Otago Daily Times his interest in
light pollution arose when a property developer installed a
street light outside a house he rented at Lake Hawea and
''wrecked'' his view of the night sky.
''It never occurred to me I was going to lose the Milky Way
... I was going to lose satellites and meteors.''
After Mr Prout drew the problem to the attention of the
developer, she found more suitable, but more expensive, ''low
spill'' lights for the rest of the subdivision.
Mr Prout then lobbied another developer, who also agreed to
install better lighting.
He calculated that if all the country's 330,000 street lights
were replaced, in addition to improving the view of the night
sky, the saving in electricity would be equivalent to half
the electricity generated from the 8m of storage capacity in
Lake Hawea.
He recognised views of the night sky were only one thing
lighting engineers had to take into account when choosing
street lighting, Mr Prout said.
There were also things such as safety, crime, maintenance and
But he hoped that as existing lights came to the end of their
life they would be replaced with more efficient ones.
Queenstown Lakes District Council senior engineer transport
infrastructure and assets Richard Hilliard said the council
was guided by its lighting strategy document, Southern
Lights, adopted in 2006.
Because of technological advances in street lighting, the
document was not ''rigidly adhered to'' because better
solutions had become available ''that still adhere to the
philosophy and intent of the document'', Mr Hilliard said.

"My favourite" Top 5 Page for this destination Hotel Au Vieux Moulin Tip by Beckhanne
Hotel Au Vieux Moulin, Echternach: 51 reviews and 5 photos
Well, this was very special as we went there for our first meeting anniversary. You might say it's not much but it was to me. We had booked a room for two nights and two gastronomic dinners which were of a very high level. The personnel is very nice and makes you feel very welcome.
As I've said on the introduction page, we've come to Echternach every year or every two years since 2004 and we've always stayed at this marvelous place I'm very fond of. Maybe I should try another establishment to make a few comparisons but I can't bring myself to go somewhere else...
The food is truly delicious and the dishes original. Different formulas are available : a week-end stay for 2 or three days, a 6-day stay from tuesday to monday. There are also other programmes during the year according to the period (Valentine's Day, Easter, carnival, etc.
Unique Qualities: The inn is very well situated with green all around. Echternach is close by, Luxemburg is only 35 kms away and like us, you could kill two birds with one stone and go to Trier, in Germany, which only takes a 27-km ride.
Step out of the building and all you'll see is green.
Address: Maison n�6 L-6562 Echternach
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: 2 kms from Echternach, turn left on the "Route de Luxembourg" when you see the sign "Au Vieux Moulin".
