I started drinking several cups of hot green tea daily, or several glasses of iced green tea daily, last fall, before I had heart surgery.
I seem to have healed faster this time, and my metabolic panels are consistently within the normal range. Also, I am less hungry and consequently eat less, and feel like exercising more.
I'm sure it's not only the green tea, but I've read so many good things about it.
Anyone else a fan?

Re: Who drinks green tea?Mon, January 2, 2012 - 4:42 PMHuge fan of all forms of tea. I drink more black and oolong than green, but I love a nice, bright Dragon Well, or a toasty Genmai Cha every now and then. I drink tea every day, but I've been doing it for 30-ish years, so I don't know if it has affected my health. Be nice if it were, though, since I'm going to do it anyhow : ).
Re: Who drinks green tea?Tue, January 3, 2012 - 2:20 PMI actually took a class from my Tai Chi instructor about the benefits of tea. Yes, green tea can do all that.
I used to drink more tea than I have lately. I tend toward herbs in the winter, for fighting off colds and whatnot. I tend towards teas in the summer, mostly to warm me up at work since I sit under the air conditioner vent.
Look into what variety of tea you're drinking, and find out what kinds of goodies it's got in it. Then tell us!
Re: Who drinks green tea?Tue, January 3, 2012 - 3:50 PM. i drink fruit teas from wally world .® more variety to the box $2.28 here in Hawai'i i prefer black Ceylon tea . ONe can make tea out of just about any thing . Ginger , lime leaves , other citrus , etc.

Re: Who drinks green tea?Thu, January 5, 2012 - 9:54 AM
Tea..?...! Love it all forms Marriage Fere, PlantAsia and La Tisaniere is an everyday staple along with the traditional Korean green tea with brown rice. Can't drink coffee and certain cheaper teas, filled with filler will hurt my guts so, I enjoy the good stuff. I am about to try some camomile tea, that has been picked from our land which grows wild on the mountain here.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sun, January 8, 2012 - 10:23 AMIf you use tea bags, you can use it as an astringent for your face once it's done brewing. I love to do this with Green Tea. It makes my skin and eyes so clear. My favorite beauty secret.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sun, January 8, 2012 - 10:23 AMShould add: just use the bag like a cotton ball and swipe it across your skin.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Fri, January 20, 2012 - 5:57 AMAwesome, I'll see about it. (:
Thank you.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sat, January 21, 2012 - 9:30 AMI have tried this with black tea bags, but tried the green tea variety after reading this. Much better results! Thanks for posting!
Re: Who drinks green tea?Fri, January 20, 2012 - 6:02 AMI LOVE green tea; been drinking it for 4 years or so.
I've been feeling those things lately, I have more resistance at running, and I eat less when I drink it.
When I'm studying, and I'm so lazy I don't want to cook anything, I have some fruit and some green tea: all settled.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sat, January 21, 2012 - 9:28 AMGreen tea is great after a really brutal workout, and it does seem to cut my appetite down as well. But, do not drink it as often as I like because it seems to really upset my gut... I never thought it might be the fillers! Anyone have a favorite brand they prefer without fillers? I am drinking Good Earth Green tea with Ginseng, sweetened with stevia.
Owned, what brand do you drink?
Re: Who drinks green tea?Mon, January 23, 2012 - 5:19 AMHave you tried loose leaf green teas at all?
Those might be the best bet for you. At least try it once.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Mon, January 23, 2012 - 7:04 PMI love moroccan-style green tea with fresh mint leaves in summer, or organic dried peppermint / peppermint tea in the winter. Delicious with or without sweetener. Very refreshing as a cold beverage, too!
Re: Who drinks green tea?Mon, January 23, 2012 - 7:09 PMBy the way - I just discovered the most amazing tea - "Milk Oolong". It's a green oolong with an amazing rich, creamy, almost buttery flavor that is completely natural and inherent to the leaf (not added). It's really expensive so I just bought two ounces and keep it for special occasions. But wow. Check it out if you have a chance.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Wed, January 25, 2012 - 4:31 AMsounds yummy, will have to try that!
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sat, January 28, 2012 - 9:06 AMYup, will be trying all the suggestions; off to the health food store I go.....
Re: Who drinks green tea?Thu, February 16, 2012 - 10:48 PMMy 'iced green tea for lazy me' method
brew it in the coffee maker (12 cup)
remove the bags and leave it out to cool
pour in into a pitcher that's 1/3 full with cold water
put it in the fridge and drink it constantly
***Green tea actually makes me hungry which is awesome because my metabolism is like a snail and if I don't get hungry, I don't eat and that makes it worse
Re: Who drinks green tea?Fri, February 17, 2012 - 7:50 PMThis coming payday going to the Asian market that carries Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and other Southeast Asian products. Currently I'm drinking a generic store brand -- and I'm sure it's full of filler, now that that's been mentioned! Dang it. I hadn't thought of that.
I know several of the clerks at the Asian market, and I'll ask them to translate for me -- they have more varieties and brands that I can think of. No more generic store crap.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sat, February 18, 2012 - 5:02 AM
Hey does anyone know of a good brand for Vietnamese Ice Tea??????

Re: Who drinks green tea?Fri, June 8, 2012 - 8:53 AMI seen in the health food store the other day green tea extract; it in a glass vial with a dropper. I would assume it has the same benefits as green tea... was thinking about buying it, so that if I don't feel like drinking green tea that day I could just maybe put a few drops into whatever I am drinking? Anyone done this? Does it have flavor?
Re: Who drinks green tea?Fri, June 8, 2012 - 1:16 PMGirl, 10:10 am ish 12.08.07
Probably a bad assumprion . Presume in stead One can make tea out of just about n e thing
Black ( Ceylon, Columbo - an island near India )
Green ( far east - Japan )
Red ( apple cinnamon )
Yellow ( dandilion ) fiddle heads , etc
You can buy most fruit teas at Wal-Mart® in packets US$2,88 an assortment . Use honey and milk in black and green , just honey in others
We are LA-Z after all :) h t h /s Dr. Dosh
Re: Who drinks green tea?Tue, July 17, 2012 - 12:28 AMI haven't done this yet, Girl, but that is the route I might take, since green tea does have great benefits, and I'm not usually a tea drinker.
Re: Who drinks green tea?Sat, August 4, 2012 - 1:04 PMLove green tea & it's great for you! I am in the Health & Wellness industry and there are many beverages out there that can truly help your health.

Deputies investigating after 2 bodies found in Weld County
WELD COUNTY, Colo. — Authorities in Weld County found two bodies Friday and are trying to determine if they are related to a double kidnapping from Thursday.
The first body was found around 11 a.m. Friday, said the Weld County Sheriff's Department.
One body was found at Weld County Roads 4 and 17. The second was found on WCR 15 between WCR 2 and 4 around 1:30 p.m. Deputies have not identified either person, said Bureau Chief Steve Reams.
It's not yet known if the discovery may be related to a double kidnapping that happened in Weld County Thursday.
"It's an obvious concern due to the earlier kidnapping investigation in the area," Reams told the Denver Post. "We're not 100 percent sure this incident is related to the earlier one. It has all the appearances that it is connected."
Reams said one of the bodies was found in an irrigation ditch. Because of the cold temperatures, the body was frozen in the water and will be difficult to move without disrupting critical evidence.

Adsorption is a process that can be used for wastewater treatment because of the its not too complicated, as it also adsorbs readily available materials for and the cost low-cost operations. Many materials can be used as a absorbent one of which is coal. In addition to coal as a fuel can also be used as a pengadsorbsi. The purpose of this study was to determine how much capacity in the lower lignite barubara heavy metals Cr (chromium) and Pb (Lead) pipe in the reactor. Adsorption process is done by electroplating waste stream into the tank a pipe reactor which contains coal as adsorbent with a continuous flow. in This research will study the effect of coal as an adsorbent to reduce the concentration of metals weight of chromium and lead in a pipe reactor (column) in the range of the variable flow rate as the following: High bed (Cm): 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. Flow rate (ml / min): 35, 50, 65, 80, 95. The results of this study indicate that the decrease in the concentration of chromium metal is best for 7.343 mg / L with the% removal of 64.406% and a decrease in metal concentrations of lead that is best of 0.216 mg / L with the% removal of 40.659%, this result is achieved at a flow rate of 35 ml / min with the column bed height of 45 cm.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hospederia La Sinagoga Avila
Good Value for Disney Travellers
As a Florida native, I would consider this place the best value hands down for a winter trip to Disney. The $89 rate for a mini-suite can't be beat, especially since the living room is actually separated from the bedroom by a hallway and a bathroom. There were plenty of scheduled activities if you're into that kind of thing, but my son is too young for all that so we just chilled in the pools. Best feature of all is the indoor heated pool next to the cafe -- outdoor heated pools just won't work when the temperature dips below 60F, and that's all you can find at most Orlando hotels. Only downside for us was that it's not at all close to Universal Studios, and we had to drive through Disney traffic to get there. Otherwise, well worth the money!
Avoid this place
We were told that the accomodations were on par with Embassy Suites or Marriott Resorts. Nothing could be further from the truth. The mold and mildew odor in the suite was over-powering. By the looks of the carpet and furniture, nothing has been updated in 20 years. The matresses in the sleeper sofas were stained and full of holes. I should add that when we complained, the staff replaced the matresses promptly. The web site promotes amenities such as balconies, patios, sailing, and rowboats. However, these do not exist. In short, this place ruined our vacation.
Wonderful and relaxing
We've been here twice now, as the guests of timeshare owners here who have a double lock out room and eight of us stayed there comfortably.
The rooms were spacious and it was great being able to enjoy meals together without going out every evening. Both of the pools were close to our room so we had our choice. The kids enjoyed fun resort sponsored activities (my niece won lots of free ice cream sandwiches) and the staff were very supportive. The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is most often plenty of room on the pool deck to suntan. It was also only 5 minutes to Disney and most other attractions so we had little excuse for not going three days in a row. All in all, a great experience (especially since our owner friend paid much less than the going rate)!
I love this Place!!
This place is wonderful. We drove 11 and a half hours to get to Orlando. I was filled with anticipation the whole time. Everything was going through my mind especially hoping that I did the right thing by choosing this resort. I read reviews from this very site. Some were excellent. However, there were atleast 2 bad reviews. This made me sort of hesitant. But I had already paid the money. When we arrived, the staff was fast and friendly. We made it to our villa and was blown away. It was clean, well maintained, roomy and beautiful. All of my worries had been put to rest. The kitchen was very spacious with everything that we needed at hand - they even had some appliances and utensils that I didn't have at home. The kids had their own bedroom upstairs with ours. This was great. It was like staying in an apartment for a week. The grounds were well maintained. There was always (I mean always) a staff member around on the grounds somewhere that made sure that your stay was pleasant. This was unbelievable. Everytime that we stepped outside of our villa, there was an employee with a smile working away. The location is perfect. It is out of the way in a quiet neighnborhood, yet all of the restaurants or shops that you want were walking distance.
When we arrived, there was only one probelm - our air wasn't working.
We called the CARE line, our air was fixed within 20 minutes or so.
When I come back to Orlando, I will definitely be staying at Celebrity Resorts!!
Anywhere but here
I recommend hightailing it out of there,which is exactly wht I had to
do and during the holiday week no less.
The 1 br suite was tiny, it was old and Bathroom was falling apart,The Furniture looked to be 20 years old and the decor older yet.
I tried to get moved to a different room but we were late checking in and they had nothing else available and couldn;t promise anything for the next couple of days.When I told them I was leaving they threatened that I would have to pay for whole week since i checked in luckily I had booked thru Orbitz and I called them(@2:00 AM)
and they got the room cancelled.I ended up paying more At Staybridge
Suites but it was well worth it!
Fantastic First Family Vacation
Planning this vacation was nerve racking because it was the first one and i wanted everything to be perfect. I found very little information on this facility. We stayed in the division called Clarion Suites Oaks at Resort World. All I can say is Fantastic!!! From check in to check out. We were on a budget and i made sure that we didnt incur any add'l charges ie: the phone, maid service, in room delivery. We had a 2bedroom that slps 6 so clean and huge. We had more than enough room This place was close to several restaurants, shopping outlets, and was 4 mi to disney. There is a chain supermarket about 3mi Publix. So we lightly stocked our fridge. We cooked our own breakfast daily and cooked our own dinner about 4 of the nights. The kitchen was stocked w/ great appliances and a washer / dryer in room too. they have events like bingo, pool parties etc. daily. We did 4 disney parks,seaworld,and city walk. It was nice to come back every night and hang out by the pool. Concierge was very helpful. Thanks to another user review i avoided the security photo (where they try to sell u a timeshare) We are anxiously awaiting nov. 2004 when we can return. this place was an a+ in our eyes.
Don't Waste Your Money
We were dissatisfied so we switched from one minisuite to another after one night. Neither one had a kitchenette as they claimed. All it had was a microwave and fridge, and no counter space and no desk or table.
This place was weird- The minisuite room seems like it used to be the second and third bedroom of a 3 bedroom condo. There's just a thin door leading to the next room, and you can hear (and smell) everything happening in the neighbor's room. The place needs to be renovated, because it looks like nothing has changed since the 80's. The rooms were somewhat clean, but maids never come until you checkout, unless you pay an extra fee. Also, our first room was full of tiny ants. The jetted tub was the only decent thing, but in our first room, a lot of mold came out when we turned the jets on, and it was very loud. Finding our room was very difficult, because the place is like a big apartment complex, and there's no numbers on the buildings, and no signs.
Best Value Ever
We just returned from an eight day vacation. During this time we stayed at Clarion Suites Resort World. We expected a nice place based on the reviews we read. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the housekeeping services. This resort was clean and well maintained. The suites were very large and stocked with utensils, pots and pans and just about anything you might need. The location was very convenient to the WDW resort and other attractions. Overall a very good/quiet family oriented place. The only negatives were the timeshare sales scheme.
Beware if you get a call claiming that you are needed for a security photo, it's a simple bait and switch so I would advise you decline.
Exceptionally clean and homely
I judged where I was staying based on one good review and pictures shown, and I am happy to say I was not disappointed. The location is great. The place is exceptionally clean and all utensils required for cooking is at hand. They leave detergents, coffee packs, soap for washing at hand to give you a start. I, being a very picky person had no complaints on this hotel. If you are not into cooking, Ponderosa (all you can eat buffet) and other eating facilities are in close proximity to the location, about a couple minutes away. I would definited go there again.
Great place
We traveled from Maine and had the worst drive of our life. Arriving at the suites was a nice break. We got there and was welcomed by a friendly staff and then was brought to a buffet, where we ended up winning 2 prizes. Anytime we needed a staff member they were right there to help us. It was nice to come back from the attractions and be able to go swimming for as long as you want. the pool never closed unless for cleaning. Being in the suite made you feel like you were in an apartment. My children loved it they liked that they had there own room and not a pull out couch and I liked that I could cook right there in my room, put a load of laundry in the washer and dryer and go to bed. Wake up in the morning, go to a complemetary breakfast and be off. I rate this hotel as EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've been served Monkey Bread at family's homes before and thought it was delicious. I wanted a "healthier" version though, as I don't buy frozen bread dough.
I started making my own Monkey Bread a few months ago using my 100% Whole Wheat Everyday Bread Recipe. While we love the way it tastes, it takes a long time to prepare in the morning. I started thinking how nice it would be to have those bags of pre-made dough balls for this purpose and wondered why I couldn't make my own!

Weeks after the 918's debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, we received word that Porsche was asking its dealer network to gather lists of customers interested in a production car. Wolfgang Dürheimer, Porsche's executive vice president of research and development, told Bloomberg that the company has 900 customers ready to buy the car — just shy of the 1000-order threshold Porsche needs to build the 918 Spyder.
"I'm confident that we will soon reach the threshold of 1000," Dürheimer told Bloomberg in a recent interview. "We need 1000 seriously interested people to make a sound business case."
Dürheimer had previously suggested he'd "be very pleased with about 1000 firm orders," but it now seems 1000 cars is the magic number for the 918's existence. In contrast, the automaker built nearly 1270 examples of its last supercar — the Carrera GT — between 2004 and 2006.
If the 918 Spyder does find its way into Porsche's showrooms with a hybrid powertrain, it will be the automaker's third hybrid offering, but the second to be sold to the public. Porsche's 2011 Cayenne Hybrid SUV should reach showrooms later this fall, but the 911 GT3 R Hybrid remains a track-only experiment at this point.

Legendary actor Tony Curtis, star of such classic 1950s movies as 'Some Like It Hot' and 'The Defiant Ones,' died late Wednesday evening of cardiac arrest at his home in Las Vegas. He was 85.
The news was confirmed to Entertainment Tonight early this morning by his estranged daughter, actress Jamie Lee Curtis. (For more details, visit PopEater.)
To honor the career of Tony Curtis, take a look back at six of his most memorable movies, from 'Some Like It Hot' to 'Sex and the Single Girl.'
'Sweet Smell of Success'
Known for his handsome looks and on-screen talent, the Bronx-born actor caught his first major break in the 1957 noir film 'Sweet Smell of Success,' opposite Burt Lancaster. In the film, Curtis played scheming press agent Sidney Falco, who helps J.J. Hunsecker (Lancaster) break up his sister's relationship so that he can get his clients' names in Hunsecker's paper. But as he quickly learns, the consequences are, well, anything but sweet.
'The Defiant Ones'
The following year, Curtis achieved major acclaim in 'The Defiant Ones,' opposite Sidney Poitier. The film, about two escaped prisoners, one white and one black, would go on to become one of the most important films of the era, due in great part to its portrayal of racism. The film also earned Curtis his first -- and only -- Academy Award nomination, for best actor. In this classic scene, watch as Curtis and Poitier's characters bond over how they got arrested.
'Some Like It Hot'
In 1959, Curtis landed arguably his best and most famous role, playing a musician on the run in the Billy Wilder comedy 'Some Like It Hot.' Co-starring Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe, the film followed two jazz musicians (Curtis and Lemmon) who pose as women in an all-female traveling band after witnessing gang warfare in Chicago. While on the road, Curtis falls for one of his bandmates, the beautiful Sugar Kane Kowalczyk (Monroe). But since he can't reveal his true identity, Curtis must don another one, that of a rich oil tycoon, to win Sugar's affections. Below, watch Sugar's first run-in with Shell Oil Junior.
'Operation Petticoat'
That same year, Curtis hopped aboard the USS Sea Tiger in the hilarious comedy 'Operation Petticoat,' in which he played a womanizing con-man assigned to help repair a sunken submarine. Directed by Blake Edwards, the film was noted for its many laughs and chemistry between Curtis and leading-man Cary Grant.
In 1960, Curtis landed the role of slave Antoninus in Stanley Kubrick's epic historical drama 'Spartacus,' during which he famously defended Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) against the Romans in the now-famous "I'm Spartacus!" scene. Check it out below.
'Sex and the Single Girl'
A few years later, Curtis returned to the world of mistaken identities in the '64 adaptation of 'Sex and the Single Girl,' based on the bestselling advice book by Helen Gurley Brown. Once again, Curtis appeared opposite an all-star cast -- this time, Natalie Wood, Lauren Bacall and Henry Fonda -- in his hilarious portrayal of Bob Weston, a journalist who pretends to be a sex expert's (Wood) neighbor in order to write an expose on her. What results is a boatload of laughs and, natch, a budding romance.

JCC SR on Canelo, Vanes & Lara!
was watching the Tv Azteca feed from yesterday fight between Vanes and Lara, and around the 7th or 8th round, Chavez sr said "Ni los 2 juntos le ganan al canelo" (not even together they beat canelo).
I know he's Mexican and all, but i have never heard him say something positive about Alvarez before!
I can agree with him in the sense that Canelo beat both of these guys!!
Do you guys agree?

Totally agree. Lara was a hypejob and he's so boring and painful to watch, he's really sloppy too. Canelo beats both.

Helmer Tim Burton's take on the classic Roald Dahl tome relies on plenty of visual frosting to bring the book to life, so it's no surprise the extras (isolated on disc two) concentrate primarily on behind-the-scenes magic. Of the handful of brief featurettes detailing the pic's production, the best is "Attack of the Squirrels," which takes a look at the efforts put into training a small army of squirrels to sort nuts on command. The process of turning the diminutive thesp Deep Roy into hundreds of Oompa-Loompas is explored in another amusing docu.
There's also a nice, 17-minute look at Dahl himself, which forgoes the usual academic analysis for rather touching testimonials from the scribe's family, friends and colleagues.
The rest of the extras are all moppet-oriented interactive games that, like chewing gum, lose their flavor after a few minutes. The enclosed trading card pack may also hook kids, but older DVD junkies will be bummed that there isn't more here, including a sorely-missed Burton commentary.

Cook time:

Total time:
30 mins
Huevos Rancheros crossed with Chilaquiles (salsa simmered corn tortillas) topped with avocados, sour cream, candied jalapenos, cheese and more! Gluten free to boot!
4 cups smoky chipotle and tomatillo salsa (I used homemade salsa, use whatever is your favorite type.)
2-3 cups leftover pulled pork or chicken
12 corn tortillas, stacked and cut into 1-1/2 inch squares
Neutral Oil (such as canola, vegetable) or peanut for frying
2 cups refried beans, heated
4 eggs (or six if you're serving small portions), fried in butter
1 cup crumbled cojita or feta cheese (You can substitute grated Monterey Jack if desired or necessary.)
1 ripe avocado, halved, scooped from the shell and sliced
½ of a sweet onion, peeled and finely diced
sour cream or Greek yogurt (How about you make your own?)
candied jalapenos, preferably (If you haven't made them yet, this is the time!) or jarred jalapenos
chopped fresh cilantro
lime wedges
Optional: hot white rice
Heat 2-inches of oil to 350°F in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. If you don't have a deep-frying thermometer, you can tell the oil has reached the proper temperature when it looks streaky in the pan and a piece of tortilla dropped into it forms many bubbles around the edges immediately. Fry the corn tortillas in batches, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crisp. This should take between 3 and 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, stir together the pulled pork (or chicken) and the salsa and bring to a simmer. When it reaches a simmer, gently toss in the fried tortillas. Allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, or just until the tortillas begin to soften a little. Remove from the heat.
Lay out four (or six) serving plates. If you're using the rice, mound a scoop of rice into the center and press down in the middle to make a well. Divide the refried beans between the plates and then divide the simmered tortillas and meat between the plates. Top each serving with a fried egg, cheese, onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and finally the avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the top. Dig. In.
If you have bird-like appetites, this serves six.

Amarillo has been good to Ronnie Kitchens over the years.
The 25-year-old from Carthage won a SuperBull event here in the early 1990s, as well as a PBR event in 1998.
If his 89-point ride on Grizzly - before more than 2,500 fans on Friday night at the Amarillo National Center - holds up he could be more than $5,500 richer. That is the amount of money he could win for the Bud Light SuperBull Tour, held here for the 13th time.
Kitchens, the last of 40 riders on Friday, certainly saved the best for the end.
Another 40 competitors are expected to compete tonight.
Only seven competitors made it to the eight-second whistle on the first night. In second place with a score of 85 is 20-year-old Robert Covington of Blossum (located near Paris in East Texas). He was one of the early riders, and for the longest time it appeared as though it might be the score to beat going into tonight's finale.
"Sometimes it's harder knowing the score you have to beat," Kitchens said. "If I had my preference, I'd like to set a good score early and let the others shoot at it."
Chad Lucas of Wister, Okla. posted a score of 82 and is in third place, while two-time defending champion Jody Mataska of Petrolia recorded an 80 on a re-ride.
Gary Robinson of Greenville and Claudenir Souza of Burleson scored 78, while Dusty Higgins of Roswell, N.M., had a 75 to round out the competitors able to ride their bulls to the whistle.
Kitchens, like many of the bull riders, knows his score is a good one, but not guaranteed to win.
He's simply happy to be back at the sport he's known since he was two-years-old.
"I've been riding bulls all my life," he said.
"I love it, but know it's not going to last forever. I broke my leg bad, and was out of action for 31 months. I've only been back at this for the last five months, or so.
"I got fat and out of shape during the time I was out of competition. Most of all, I missed it bad."

The National Democratic Front-Eastern Visayas today said orders have been issued to all units under the Rodante Urtal Command of the New People's Army in Northern Samar to dismantle the Dazas' private army as well as their anti-people projects. "Cong. Raul Daza and his son, Northern Samar Gov. Paul Daza, are rabid supporters of the Aquino regime's Oplan Bayanihan to consolidate their political power," said NDF-EV spokesperson Fr. Santiago Salas. "Gov. Daza, who also chairs the Regional Peace and Order Council, has been pushing for the setting up of Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPATs) in support of "counterinsurgency." Moreover, the NPA has found the BPATs in Northern Samar to be actually a front for the Dazas' private army in recruiting goons for the 2013 elections. Even the local government units in the province also balk at setting up BPATs—about 400-strong already with more to be added—because they are obliged to spend for these though there are barangay tanods (village watchmen) and the paramilitary CAFGU doing the same functions."
The NDF-EV spokesperson added the Dazas also received a total of PhP225 million, with PhP100million more due in 2013, from the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) project of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process. "The PAMANA-funded projects, such as the PhP30 million Mondragon-Silvino Lobos road, are merely cash cows for the Dazas as well as part of "counterinsurgency" especially in covering up human rights violations and the militarization of various areas under Oplan Bayanihan. There are already criticisms against PAMANA because it is merely duplicating the services of other government agencies; its real role is to apply the cosmetics of "peace and development" to vicious military operations under Oplan Bayanihan."
Fr. Salas also said the Dazas lead the provincial government in supporting the 8th Infantry Division through funding the Local Social Integration Program, which gives monetary rewards for any NPA member who surrenders. "The Dazas and the 8th ID show their contempt for the people by calling on the NPA to give up the armed struggle and participate in the LSIP. They feign to dangle rewards and livelihoods worth a few thousand pesos, which in the end still results in a lifetime of poverty. Needless to say, the Dazas and the 8th ID have utterly failed, while the NPA and the peasant masses persevere in the just cause of the revolutionary struggle and believe the root causes of the civil war must be addressed."
The NDF-EV spokesperson said the NPA is already acting to dismantle the BPATs and the Dazas' anti-people projects. "The NPA is in the process of disarming the Dazas' goons and advising them not to allow themselves to be used by the oppressors and exploiters of the people. The NPA is also meeting with the peasant associations and the organs of political power in the countryside to discuss the Dazas' anti-people projects and how to oppose and dismantle these. Dismantling the Dazas' goons and their anti-people projects must be done to stop the Dazas' reactionary violence, official corruption and counterrevolutionary support of Oplan Bayanihan."#

Sile was an importer in NYC that contracted for their name to be put on guns from Italy.

Sile, NY importer of Italian replicas. Anyone know anything about them?

Sile was a importer, in 1970s had a Sile .54 paper cartridge Sharps, later reworked it to a .45-70 carbine with a Ruger #2 barrel.

Siles Distributor is actually a hole-in-the-wall gun shop in downtown Manhattan but the old man did some interesting imports, not known for their quality, like these with their name on them. I THINK they ended up owning Universal for a while. I believe the greasy son or relative or worker (Dino) took over and changed the name a decade ago. The store two shops down, Jovino's, the oldest gun shop in the country, owned Colt's Blackpowder and own Henry today and recently stopped manufacturing in Brooklyn and moved to New Jersey.
NY was once a major center of gun design, manufacturing, and shooting sports. Now they have Mayor Bloomberg -- national antigun crusader.

Jovino's, the oldest gun shop in the country, owned Colt's Blackpowder and own Henry today
Are you sure about that? I was under the impression the Lou Imperato owned Colt Blackpowder Arms Co and his son Anthony Imperato, owns Henry Repeating Arms Co.
A quick search reveals that Jovino's was founded in 1911 by John Jovino who sold it to the Imperato family in the 1920's.

I want to change a brass frame for a steel frame and Ive found one that has Sile on it. All of my other parts are Pietta. I was just wondering if they would fir.
April 26, 2010, 07:05 AM
I think you would be better off starting with all the parts from the same manufacturer. Even then there is no guarantee that the parts well interchange without considerable hand fitting. A Pietta made in the 70's may have different dimensions than one made in the 90's. I've encountered different arbor diameters with different years within the same manufacturer.

Thanks for the information. Ill let it pass and wait.

This is why they should be called survivors, not victims.
A 39-year-old woman was abducted by convicted sex offender and alleged serial killer Anthony Sowell. She was raped repeatedly over two days. Early on the morning of the third day, while Sowell slept, his arm draped over her, she managed to slip out of bed, snatch a picture frame off the wall and smash it over his head. A fight ensued. The woman bit Sowell on the forearm, jabbed him with a piece of glass and ran out the door, into the street.
She didn't stop running until she was far, far away.
But her ordeal, described in a Cleveland Heights police report, didn't end there. Now the cops were going to violate her. Not physically, but mentally.
Cuyahoga County prosecutors announced last week that Cleveland Heights investigators failed to test DNA evidence collected from the woman after the April 2009 kidnapping and attack. That evidence, prosecutors state, matches Sowell's DNA. They intend to call the woman, whose bravery and persistence in seeking justice are hardly the acts of a victim, as a witness in Sowell's trial.
No one would know of the ineptitude and indifference of the Cleveland Heights cops if she hadn't had the courage to come forward again in January and recount her horrific tale to Cleveland police, who alerted prosecutors.
Cleveland Heights Police Chief Jeffrey Robertson so far has not explained how such an egregious oversight occurred.
Such cavalier behavior is unconscionable, and it underscores the urgency for a uniform statewide policy on how rape kits are handled.
Now, procedures vary from department to department. There is no oversight, no accountability. The Cleveland Police Department has spent the last year counting untested rape kits it had collected between 1991 and 2010. That tally is still not complete.
Attorney General Mike DeWine is forming an 11-member Sexual Assault Kit Testing Commission to produce an "Ohio Model Sexual Assault Kit Testing Guide" that will establish a statewide protocol based on best practices.
The commission will hold its first meeting June 14 in Columbus.
The sooner DeWine sets standards for testing and tracking rape kits, the sooner police departments can be held accountable for how they handle sexual assault investigations.
Survivors deserve nothing less.

The National Organization for Marriage wants to overturn an Iowa Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage.
The group has launched a program known as the Reclaim Iowa Project. It is working to back statehouse candidates who will let voters decide on the issue of gay marriage.
"Iowa is important because the Supreme Court decision was so against the will of the people of Iowa and the Legislature and Gov. (Chet) Culver showed absolutely no backbone in giving the people the right to have their voices heard," said Brian Brown, the organization's executive director. But Gov. Culver and legislative leaders said they oppose amending the state constitution to allow a ban. The earliest a gay marriage ban could make the ballot in Iowa would be 2014.

Bangor Ghost Hunters Association
Another memorable case was held at a cemetery in Codville, Maine. According to Harold Murray: "We were videotaping. We had five members and ten other people who were family members of the client. Over the first grave, there was a 'traveler' — a ball of light. The camera picked it up. It was just going back and forth in a circle. At first we thought it was a firefly, but it didn't blink.
"We checked out the possibility that it was a car driving by, but there was no dirt road in that section of the woods or traffic lights. We found out later that it was a fresh grave. Someone had been buried that day, and we didn't know about it. We captured the light on video."
The cameraman recorded the light for two and a half minutes. Then Harold told him to stay there for five minutes and take more video, this time to the right of the grave. The entire time he was filming, the cameraman did not see the light in the viewfinder. The next day, the group returned to the cemetery and discovered that they had been filming over a fresh grave.

NORTHAMPTON - A state police detective testified in Hampshire Superior Court Thursday that he was blinded by the glare of the sun on Lake Norwich when he and a police team attempted to recreate the boat collision that took the life of Augustus Adamopoulos
State Police Detective John Riley also said that for most of the time the police officer in the kayak simulating the one Adamopoulos was in was visible on the Huntington Lake.
Riley's testimony took place during the third day of the trial of Stephen B. Morse, 37, of Westfield. He is charged with manslaughter, boat homicide by reckless operation while under the influence of alcohol, boat homicide by reckless operation and child endangerment while under the influence in connection with the Ludlow boy's death.
Adamopoulos, 10, and his father, James Adamopoulos, were fishing on the lake in the early evening of August 17, 2010, when the power boat, operated by Morse, ran over their kayak. Augustus, known to his friends and family as Gus, suffered fatal injuries.

EBENSBURG - At a busy Monday evening meeting, Borough Council silenced its 10:45 p.m. fire siren, which for years had signaled curfew in Ebensburg.
Borough Manager Dan Penatzer said the issue was brought up in an email from a new resident, who suggested that - in the age of cellphones, where people can set personal alarms - the siren might be unnecessary, serving only to wake sleeping babies and agitate dogs.
"Personally, he feels we're waking up people to tell them it's 10:45 at night," he said.
Some council members expressed nostalgia for the siren, with at least three noting that they "don't even notice" the noise anymore, but all agreed the daily work required by the fire company to set off the siren was not needed.
But council was reluctant to do away with the longtime curfew, which was passed exactly 50 years ago Sunday.
The borough's 1964 curfew ordinance states that it is unlawful for minors under age 18 "to be or remain in or upon any of the streets, alleys, parks or public places" in Ebensburg between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a parent or guardian.
The ordinance also allows police to take minors into custody for violating the ordinance to return them to their parents, while repeat offenders can be reported to the county's Juvenile Court.
Borough Police Chief Terry Wyland said there's only been a couple of serious curfew problems in his 30 years with the department, but said police use the curfew as a tool.
It serves a purpose, he said, but noted that every year there seems to be fewer children "running around late at night."
Councilman Joe Lutz suggested the ordinance discourages delinquency and drug dealing by preventing teenagers from gathering.
Penatzer noted that state law allows teenagers to be on the road later than the curfew, and said council might consider lowering the curfew age from 17 to 15.
Many said they would rather leave the ordinance as is.
According to PennDOT, junior license holders are not allowed behind the wheel between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they have a job or are performing charity or volunteer work.
Junior drivers can obtain an unrestricted license before age 18 if they take a driver's education course and maintain a clean driving record for a year.
But Lutz said council should not eliminate a law-enforcement tool, even a seldom-used one.
"They can drive," he said, "but the congregation is what we're worried about."

It has been a very long time since I became so frustrated with a video game that I felt the need to launch a controller across the room. The last time I remember such frustration was after an hour long battle with the Emerald Weapon in Final Fantasy VII, finally culminating in my death, and that was only one moment. Demon Souls has proven itself to be a game capable and eager to provide those moments in abundance. I imagine that the number of Playstation controllers sold during the month of October will spike as Demon Souls makes its way into game library's across the country.
We've been hearing that Demon Souls is hard for months now; every review and preview is prefaced with this fact. Most of us took these statements with a grain of salt as game writers are known for their penchant for hyperbole. It turns out that this time, we were not being misled. The one word that will come to mind over and over as you play is "hard." Demon Souls is not a forgiving game, and that is what makes its creation, release and game play so triumphant. It has been decades since we saw a game this difficult and rewarding, and the wait was well worth it.
On the surface, Demon Souls seems like a typical RPG. You have knights, demons, dragons and witch's all battling across a mythic landscape. Games of that nature are a dime a dozen. There is no shortage of fantasy RPG's on any console, and introducing a new title into the genre doesn't seem like anything to write home about. Despite the difficulty of surmounting such barriers in the minds of gamers, From Software managed to craft a game that sets itself apart not just from its genre peers, but every other title in the Playstation library.
You begin Demon Souls by creating a character and selecting a class. The stats we've grown to know and love are all there; vitality, endurance, strength, intelligence and all the rest are put into the equation while choosing a class. Most RPGs take these into account, but once inside the world of Demon Souls you see how much importance each of these statistics are. Instead of going the route of its peers, Demon Souls takes not only your stats into account, but the build of your weapon, the size and arc of your swing, and the different styles of each different item and how well it suits your character. There are no class limitations on weapons and armor in Demon Souls, but putting an axe into the hands of your mage will result in an instant loss of stamina and a long recovery time before you are allowed to swing again. A two handed weapon in a narrow corridor will only lead to you breaking a weapon on the walls while leaving your enemies unscathed. Every wall, piece of scenery, bead of sweat and pound of armor has a direct, and sometimes major, effect on your game play. Learning which strikes and blocks work in what areas is essential, and the game allows for precious little trial and error, punishing you for any amount of bravado and any experimentation.
The combat is fairly simple in construction. You have two attacks; a weaker, standard attack and a strong but slower attack, bound to R1 and R2 respectively. The left side of the controller controls your off hand for blocking and parrying with a shield, or duel wielding a smaller weapon for attack or disarming. What makes the combat unusual is the way it's presented. The difficulty in Demon Souls comes from the emphasis on reality From Software placed on the player. Your character is simply human. Your reactions are not lighting quick, you are very vulnerable to every type of attack and you wear down as quickly as a normal person. No matter how high your level reaches, you are never a superhero, simply a strong human. Many enemies will kill you in one or two hits, you can't scale walls to escape, and simple falls do just as much damage as they would in real life. Add to that the effect of the environment around you on your attacks and movement, and you find yourself having to think and act like you are actually in the game instead of directing the game.
The upgrading system in Demon Souls is also a grueling punishment at times. In order to upgrade your character, buy new weapons and items, or repair your existing equipment, you have to have the currency of the day; demon souls. For every enemy you best you are rewarded with a stock of souls. You use these as gold and as experience, gathering more and more as you progress. After you have collected enough souls, you can travel back to the Nexus, the only hub of safety in the world of cruelty you find yourself stuck in. Here you can enter new areas, upgrade your equipment and rest. You need to continually travel back to the Nexus either through beating a level or traveling to an access point, and the need to do so comes up often; you will become very well accustomed to the Nexus world and the merchant's desire for the souls you collect.
The curveball here is that upon dying, you lose all of your souls. Regardless of how many you have collected, or where you are, everything you've gathered is gone in a puff of smoke once you shed your mortal coil and you begin again at the beginning of the level. You have one chance to redeem yourself and collect your lost souls again, but only if you can make it back to the point of your death without dying again. Since every time you die or leave the level the enemies re-spawn, this is seldom an easy accomplishment. The first time you lose your accrued souls from a forgotten trap, or from an environmental hazard, it will test your resolve and make you wonder if maybe the folks at From Software pulled an elaborate joke on everyone. However, after a few times you realize that you will have to play smarter and more cautiously, and you'll memorize the world around you and pay keener attention to every detail. Demon Souls forces the player to become immersed in the world more than any other game in recent memory.
We've all trained to play games in a similar fashion over the years. Games discs can hold more information, allowing for longer games and deeper game play and negating the need for impossible puzzles and random encounters to lengthen your experience. We are used to being able to jump in and tank through an area, making our character so powerful as the game goes on that death is seldom a worry; if we do die, we have save points and auto saves to put us right back in the fight. The elimination of any saves and the escalating difficulty of Demon Souls makes sure that every step you take could be a fatal mistake. At no point will you be able to plunge into battle against numerous opponents and expect to live. The strategies we've polished over the years are suddenly worthless. Demon Souls will force every gamer to learn or relearn a different way of playing, and while the experience in the beginning will force many gamers to give up in disgust, the feeling of accomplishment and relief when you overcome the difficult area or the challenging boss is unlike the experience in any other modern game. This is undoubtedly the most accurate RPG we've ever seen, and it is wrapped in a haunting, cinematic world bound within a tragic and chilling tale. Demon Souls is an indispensible addition to the Playstation catalog, and whether you play through the entire game or only a few levels, it will change the way you see video games and role playing games and that is a rare ability in any game.

A f*in' retard so retarded that fucktard is too complicated for them, hence the spoonerism "tuckfard" which inverts the "t" and the "f" for maximum stupidity.
The guys started a food fight on spaghetti and meatball day to impress the girls at school. Unfortunately, it was also "wear all white" day so they were labeled "tuckfards" thence and for ever.

At least 300 to 400 people crowded into the old Norwest Bank building Monday, the first day of court with incoming County Court at Law John Jay Thorpe.
Officials characterized the crowded docket as political retaliation by outgoing County Court at Law Judge Darrell Carey. Carey said the docket always is crowded - although less so - and Thorpe never bothered to give him a scheduling preference.
"I never even thought about it, frankly, that it would be offensive to somebody," Carey said.
Prosecutors, deputy sheriffs and Canyon police officers helped with the crowd. The people stayed calm and cooperated, Criminal District Attorney James Farren said.
Carey set all his criminal cases for the same day, which he had never done before, Farren said.
The largest docket County Sheriff Harold Hooks said he remembers hovered around 100 people.
Carey narrowly lost the March Republican primary to Thorpe, then an Amarillo attorney. Carey now practices law with Hester, McGlasson & Cox, a Canyon law firm.
Before leaving office, Carey set Monday's docket, Thorpe told the crowd. Thorpe took office Friday, and Monday was his first day on the bench.
"This is clearly unprecedented in my experience," Thorpe said in an interview. "I've never seen an outgoing judge take these steps."
The crowd first arrived at the justice complex on the Canyon square, Hooks said. But the building couldn't hold them all. So deputies escorted everyone to the basement of the old Norwest Bank building, where Thorpe held court.
Thorpe said he knew about Monday's docket beforehand and had a plan to deal with it. He set bad-check cases for one day, motions to revoke probation for another, dealt with the rest one at a time and set them for one of two future docket days. By 4:30 p.m., he was headed back to the justice complex for plea hearings.
But Carey said the crowded docket was not based on politics or retaliation. It was just business as usual, he said.
"If you've been to docket on Monday, it's standing room only," said Carey. "That's not unusual. That's just the size of that docket."
Had Thorpe requested five docket dates, Carey said he would have scheduled that many. But he received no such request, he said. Besides, the incoming judge needs to review his cases, and the first day is not a bad day to do that, he added.
"I didn't feel like it was appropriate for me to set it like it was my own calendar," Carey said. "That's actually better. Now he can schedule it out."
A docket should move quickly, Carey said. The judge calls a name, then sets a trial date, appoints a lawyer or schedules a plea.
Carey said he scheduled two criminal dockets each month and included 15 or so family cases on his docket. Monday's docket, by contrast, did not include the family cases, he added.
Besides, Carey said, the docket after Christmas and New Year's will contain more driving-while-intoxicated cases.
"I didn't make anybody get drunk," he said.
Monday's docket strained the staff at the offices of the district attorney and the sheriff, officials said. Farren said the crowd tied up most of his prosecutors and investigators for two hours.
"It did stretch (the staff) a little, but with everybody working together, we managed to get it done," Hooks said.

Everyone has a favorite thing, they love to decorate with. Mine is very simple, grapevine. The stuff works for just about every season. I first learned about decorating with grapevine right before I opened my own music, gift, and home interior shop. All the store owners used it outside of their entryways to entice the customers to come inside. They also used those stick on plastic flower vases that hang on doors. ( I will try to find you a picture.)
I loved how diverse the grapevine was. People used it inside, outside, and everywhere in between. Some leave it bare while others light it up and wrap colorful garland, bows, and trinkets on it.
Check it out being used for Halloween decorations.
Here you see it being used over a doorway for everyday use. The birds dress it up. Isn't it cute?
I really love how you can bend it just about any direction. If you can't fit the grapevine above your door try moving it forward to make an arch on your porch.
The easiest way to work with grapevine, and to get it to do what you want it to do, is to soak it in a bathtub of warm water. Leave it there for 20 minutes grab a few eyehooks and go to town.
How about you? Do you use grapevine? Do you like it? Any tips?
Happy Decorating,
