Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (538 votes).
In short: Very hot but enjoyable none th elessDate of review: May 27, 2012
In short: Hot day good race goody deficientIn full: Admittedly a hot day but most drinks stations were too short. Result . Stop. Queue. Only water to drink after the race. A few gallons of squash would have been a good investment. Not usually picky about goody bags but this was poor. Could be so much better as an event Date of review: May 27, 2012
In full: As a Sheffield lass i have started my running with this race. This is my city but i feel we need to catch up and compete with the other half marathons the potential is there please take it and make it better. Water in cups please change to bottles. The support in places is excellent but in other places it needs help. We are a city of music surely we can improve. Marshall's & first aid are excellent. Please take this excellent opportunity and make it first class. Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: Good atmosphere with good points and badIn full: A good run, quite undulating, but a fairly good route, especially out of the industrial estates. My one gripe would be the water stations, which just had cups, not bottles. Had to stop to drink, and at one station had a cue to get some water. The sponges were a nice gesture though! Also the bag at the end could have done with something edible in it!Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: City centre & Eccleshall Road great, not enough loos!In full: The stadium start/finish was excellent, and I guess the price you pay is 6 miles in total of slig down industrial roads to/from the city centre. Support lacking until Hilton hotel at 3 miles, and petered out again between centre and Eckeshall road- but the atmosphere there was amazing, best I have ever seen on a city race. No stalls to buy gel bars and last minute stuff, which I had forgotten for once, and definitely needs banks of portaloos.Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: hotIn full: good race today but very hot but still manged to get 1h31 just flew round the course great support up near the turnround and the stadiumi will be back next yearDate of review: May 27, 2012
In short: Very good race...In full: I really enjoyed the race today, and managed a new PB. very good support on course. Stadium atmosfear was fantastic, great grandstand finish. Course was quite challenging, but on the whole, loved the day, and would do it again..Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: The heat took its toll, poor support for most of the route, its not flat either !!In full: I have done this one before so I knew there were some hills, but the heat really affected me. The atmosphere at the start at The Don Valley was great, it was a bit tricky getting around the stadium due to lots of barriers, but we parked up easily and arrived with time to spare. The start was delayed due to latecomers which was not good given the heat. The route isn't pretty with a lot of stretches where there isn't much to look at and very little support, it certainly doesn't show the best of Sheffield. The best bit is the run up and back down Eccleshaw Road, with deafening support and .. at last .. a band. For a city with such a rich music history the lack of music around the course is almost criminal. After 10 miles its a horrible slog back to the stadium with only a few souls cheering, but thanks to them for their support. However I dont want everyone telling me I'm nearly done when there are still 3 miles to go..As usual there were only massive T shirts left (I'm a size 8)but it is unacceptable to run out of goody bags, the organisers know how many runners to expect and there should be enough for everyone, yes even the slow people at the back have worked hard, I have to say that reduced me to tears as I was sore, hot & tired, and no treats to snack on .. thanks I wont be back.Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: Too many participants......?In full: I was worried about the "unlimited" entry limit this year, as the previous 5k limit to me already stretched the facilities to the limit. Great course as always and plenty of support - I just don't think the Don Valley Stadium and surrounding road / tram network can handle that many people attending. Nice medal!Date of review: May 27, 2012
In short: OK time OK run well organisedIn full: nice flattish course after Eyam last weekDate of review: May 27, 2012

Amazing that this school cannot attract any talent. Great arena, alot of good local basketball talent in this area.
I used to always go to at least 1-2 CSU games a year back in the late 90s. But the product has been simply unwatchable for the better part of the last 8-10 years.

Garland to resign at Cleveland State
Friday, March 31, 2006
Joe Maxse
Plain Dealer Reporter
Mike Garland is expected to resign today as Cleveland State men's basketball coach.
According to a source familiar to the CSU program, Garland will announce his decision to his players dur ing a meeting. Neither Garland nor CSU Athletic Director Lee Reed immediately returned phone calls to The Plain Dealer.
The Vikings went 10-18 this season, their third straight losing mark under the former Michigan State assistant. CSU went 4-25 and 9-17 during Garland's first two seasons for a combined 23-60 record.
CSU has not had a winning season since the 2000-01 campaign when the Vikings went 19-13 under Rollie Massimino.
The Vikings have not been to the NCAA Tournament in 20 years and have not won a game in the Horizon League Tournament in five years.
Garland, 51, was an assistant at MSU under coach Tom Izzo for seven seasons.
Garland had two years remaining on his CSU contract. Terms of his resignation were unknown.

Improve Your Docking Technique
February 20, 2014
You can ask any group of new boaters what they like least about boating, and nine out of 10 will say docking. That's everyone from twin-screw cruiser pilots all the way down to the tiller-handled outboard jon boat fisherman. Your heart starts pounding, your palms start sweating, and you are desperately trying to remember all the "advice" you've ever been given about how to do it properly.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Nope. There are a few things to remember, sure, but the main thing is to take it slow (or as slow as the prevailing current and boat traffic allows) and keep your cool. Many good and experienced boaters take more than one shot to back their boat into a slip. You shouldn't feel too much pressure to get it perfect every time. Life's too short, and that sort of self-imposed anxiety flies in the face of everything that boating should be about. So there you go. Read these tips, and remember to take your time. You'll be fine.

Now that it's officially summer, many women may be slightly altering their daily makeup routine.
Some hate to wear thick foundation while it's warm out, and others find that they need to choose a tinted moisturizer or powder that is darker than their winter shade, to match their sun-kissed complexion.
Switching out the staples in your makeup will also give you a chance to add in a few fun items, too.
Because the summer offer plenty of chances to paint the town red with your pals, it's likely that there are a few summery outfits in bright, eye-catching colors hanging in your closest.
When shopping for cosmetics, look for ways to sneak a little glamor into your warm-weather products.
Blue or purple water-resistant tubing mascara won't smudge or clump during application, and will stay on all day and all night.
The product "dries very quickly and won't move unless you rub it," makeup artist April Greaves told InStyle Magazine of the product.
It will also look fantastic when you're meeting friends for cocktails or dining al fresco by candlelight.
Match your shade to your ensemble, and you can enjoy all the pleasures of summer without needing to stop and reapply.

Sorry for the late reply but the closest field to Greeley will be Blitz just south in Dacono. They have Turfed NPPL and PSP fields as well 2-3 rec fields with some kick ass obstacles like trailer homes and a recked helicopter. They get a decent variety of both tourny and rec players on the weekend too.

Eyewear that's ripe for the summer, beach chairs that are ripe for the summer, new sneakers that are ripe for the summer and much more.
Selecting the 100 best books for men requires some audacity -- but so does hitting a good tee shot or giving a toast, and we like those things fine. We figured the best way to do an honest job of it was to imagine ourselves as audience members: What do we want to read? The answer we discovered, after some hemming and hawing, was simply something we'll enjoy.
So that's what we did. Our 100 selections are our all-time favorites -- albeit considered in the light of how much they changed our lives, and might change yours -- and each of the six "auditors" had a general (but not universal) slant. Our car editor loved motorcycle manuals and top-tier action novels. Our watch and diver fanatic loved tales of true survival. One co-founder was into age-of-thought-shifting sci-fi. I had a definite classics fetish.
Ultimately, we realized that each of our individual favorites made up an extremely wide range of suggestions. And really, on a very large scale, that's what a library is. Sure, we have an immense amount of room to go, and some incredible literature has been missed. But we've also hit at least a small corner of what most might consider the "core readings"; and, sticking to our previously mentioned "read what you like" rule, there have to be at least a few you'll truly enjoy.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (91 votes).
In short: Very hot, if cooler a nice raceIn full: This was my first time of running this event and I did it mainly due to the Crawley 10k being cancelled this year. Crawley Council basically have changed their priorities and no longer wish to run the event. If anyone out there can organise it they are quite willing to let you do so though. Anyway back to this race. The day of the race was extremely hot. By the time I finished it was approx 32 degrees celsius, and it wasn't that much cooler at the start. The route is nice for the 1st 4k, i.e. quite shaded but this didn't stop the background heat sapping at your energy levels. This part of the race is over the disused railway line, but then you get your first hill into the open air via the water stop (not sure where it is when they normally have only one water stop). On a normal temperature day this would have been great, as it happened the temperture was suicidal, and my legs started to wilt from this point onwards. Outside of the old railway line you are basically running through farmlad which is quite straight and mostly on concrete which reflects the heat. It would have been nicer to have continued in the trees, but maybe next time. Either way I hope next year the race will start an hour earlier or the temperature will be a little kinder. The organisation of this event however was excellent and the fact that for the day they added a 2nd water stop and it seemed quite natural, is a complement in it's self for such a small event. Well done all those involved.I would run this event again despite running 2 minutes slower than my PB but all courses over mixed terrain are unique so PB's should only be judged by the course not overall.Date of review: July 13, 2006
In short: Very enjoyable.Date of review: July 6, 2006
In short: Oh so hot, would be great race if in Spring/Autumn Date of review: July 5, 2006
In short: Brutal heat, but otherwise a great morningIn full: Well organised, beautiful scenery, the Downs Link a gorgeous tree-lined run - the farmland less interesting (but maybe I was just beaten by the heat!). Very good atmosphere. Date of review: July 5, 2006
In short: Great scenic route, well organisedIn full: A very well organised event, lovely route, limited areas for supporters round the route to cheers us on which was a shame so had to make do with the herd of cows instead, great pre race facilites and I got a PB.Date of review: July 4, 2006
In short: See longer reviewIn full: Now I know it was an unusually hot day for it (typical british understatement here !!)and the 11am start did nothing to make it any better, so maybe an earlier start in future would guard against such a repeat ! I must congratulate the organisers however for putting on the extra drink station - well done.I thought it a well organised run with a nice atmosphere and in a great location for a post run picnic.Leaving aside the heat which did me no favours at all (no Pb this time)I liked the Downs Link disused rly line parts of the course but found the long straight concrete estate roads in the second half of the route monotous. I prefer more interesting twists and turns in a route.Only my personal thoughts though and of no detriment to organisers. Date of review: July 3, 2006
In short: Really enjoyed the lovely scenery, but heat got the better of me & I walked in placesDate of review: July 3, 2006
In short: Scenic off road run. Pleasant way to spend a Sunday morningIn full: The morning was very hot which made this a tougher race than otherwise. Plenty water available. Good organisation - perhaps light on marshalls, but there was at least one at all points required.Easy navigation so you can concentrate on your running or on the view.Plenty parking and plenty toilets which also eases the worries before the race.Date of review: July 3, 2006
In short: If it was not so hot we would have run at our normal speedIn full: Hello thanks to everyone, brilliant well organised race fantastic, we would hav erun it if it was cooler but decided to have a very scenic walk aswell finsihed in 58 minutes apposed to a normal 44 ish but a fantastic morning. Apart from the girl who over took me at the finish after we had finished . What was the pointDate of review: July 2, 2006
In short: Flamin' hot but worth it for the sceneryIn full: Glad to see the extra water station but advance warning would have been good for pacing. Managed to fall over the protruding post just before the start which gave everyone a laugh! Championchip would be a nice touch but I guess the price would go up! Thanks, see you next year.Date of review: July 2, 2006

Dating from 1475, the Powder Tower was built as one of 13 gates to the city of Prague. The Powder Tower remained important to the Bohemian kings - until 1836, the Bohemian monarchs would pass through the Powder Tower on their way to St. Vitus Cathedral for their coronation.
The Powder Tower was designed by master builder Matěj Rejsek based on plans by Peter Parler for the Old Town Bridge Tower at the foot of Charles Bridge. It is now one of the few remnants of the fortifications that once surrounded the city.

Most pet owners know that ticks are nasty parasites that can affect dogs any time they are outdoors. With spring here and ticks around, it is important for owners to understand how ticks can harm dogs.
Because ticks suck blood, they are able to transmit a number of diseases to animals and people. While many pet owners have heard of Lyme disease, another serious illness that can result from ticks on dogs is Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Without proper treatment, this condition can have serious complications, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Although any dog can be affected, purebred dogs and German shepherds may be more likely to develop a severe reaction to the organism that causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever, according to PetMD. Clinical signs such as depression, lethargy, anorexia, blood in the urine, painful swollen joints and an irregular heartbeat can accompany the fever, which most dogs develop within five days of contracting the infection. A dog might also have discolored spots along its skin, loss of coordination, swollen lymph nodes and pain or swelling in the eyes.
If you notice any of these clinical signs in your dog, bring it to the veterinarian. The news outlet also reports that antibiotics and various anti-inflammatory medications will usually be required to treat this disease. Depending on the severity of the ailment, your dog may need to stay at the animal hospital until its condition improves.
VCA Animal Hospitals reports that while there is no vaccination for this condition, it is important that dog owners remain diligent in examining their pet for ticks after they are outdoors and use appropriate flea and tick preventative medications to avoid this and other serious conditions.

Live Prices Not Available
To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
The LeapPad Explorer was a huge hit when it came out last year. But this year, LeapFrog has revamped the LeapPad Explorer to give it more memory, better battery life, and more features.
The LeapPad2 Explorer has a sleek new look (in either green or pink) and a growing library of more than 325 games, apps, music, videos, and more that will all be available by year's end. Just like the original LeapPad, it works with all LeapFrog Explorer cartridges and apps and LeapPad learning apps. But unlike the original LeapPad, the new LeapPad2 has two built-in cameras: one in the back so kids can take traditional photos and video and one in the front so kids can take photos and videos of themselves. There is also a built-in microphone. And LeapFrog has doubled the amount of storage in the LeapPad2 to 4 GB and given it a faster processor (550 MHz compared to 393 MHz).
Play on the LeapPad2 is very much the same as using an adult tablet. Touch the five-inch color screen with a finger to bring characters and words to life. Tap, draw, and write with the child-sized stylus or turn, twist, and shake the tablet for motion-based play thanks to the built-in accelerometer. With the Pet Pad app, kids can create and take care of their own pet. The LeapFrog Learning Songs app is a music player with five songs. The Cartoon Director app lets kids create animated cartoons, and the Art Studio app lets kids edit pictures. LeapPad Ultra eBooks are interactive reading experiences written at three reading levels. The stories progress from simple text to more complex words and sentences. LeapPad2 remembers progress from game to game and book to book to keep the content challenging and engaging. Each experience offers multiple levels of play, and games auto-adjust so kids can learn at the right pace.
The LeapPad2 comes with five learning apps. Pet Pad and LeapFrog Learning Songs are built into the device. The other three you'll need to download from www.leapfrog.com/connect. To do this, just go to the website, connect the tablet to your computer using the included USB cable, and follow the on-screen prompts to install the LeapFrog Connect Application. Complete the registration and go to the App Center where the Cartoon Director and Art Studio apps will automatically download. For the fifth app, you can go to the App Center and choose whatever game, eBook, or video you would like.
When using batteries in the LeapPad2, the battery life is about nine hours. But, for parents who don't want to use batteries, there is a LeapPad2 Recharger Pack, sold separately, that replaces the need to use batteries with LeapPad2.
The LeapPad2 Explorer takes the original LeapPad to a whole new level. We love the new look of the device. Even though it's a tablet for kids, it doesn't look like a toy. Kids still get the same great LeapFrog play that remembers and adjusts to each child's individual progress. Each of the different activities available on the LeapPad2 engages kids in fun ways to build skills in reading, math, science, vocabulary, and more. The LeapPad2 is faster, has upgraded features, and lots more LeapFrog learning content. Plus it still lets young kids have their own tablet device, just like mom and dad.
The LeapPad2 Explorer is for ages 3–9.
Four AA batteries are required but not included.
The Connect Application and the Cartoon Creativity and Art Studio apps may take 30-40 minutes to download with a high-speed internet connection.
The LeapPad2 Recharger Pack retails for $39.99.
Any app you previously purchased in the LeapFrog App Center for the LeapPad will work on the LeapPad2.
Accessories such as carrying cases, gel skins, car adapters, video display cases, and child-friendly headphones will also be available and sold separately.

TYEC: Project on Ethics for the Prevention of Corruption in Turkey
Closing conference (25 November 2009, Ankara)
[9 November 2009, Strasbourg] The Closing Conference of the Project "Ethics for the Prevention of Corruption in Turkey" (TYEC) took place in Ankara (Swiss Hotel) on 25 November 2009 from 14:00. The two-year project started on 1 December 2007 and was funded by the European Commission. The project, among other things, assisted the implementation of the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) recommendations made to Turkey.
The conference was addressed by the State Minister, Mr Cevdet Yilmaz, as well as the representatives of the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
The Press was invited to attend the opening session.
"An Ethics Reminder for Public Officials" is available!
[9 November 2009, Strasbourg]This guideline, which is an output of the TYEC project, aims to provide practical information, with the help of examples, on the principles of ethical behaviour that public officials must abide by when performing their duties and to assist in the solution of frequently encountered ethical dilemmas in the decision making process.
"An Ethics Reminder for Public Officials"

[2 November 2009, Strasbourg] The second set of the Research Studies on "Professional Organisations and Ethics", "Shadow Economy and Ethics", "Health Services and Ethics" , "Customs Services and Ethics", "Public Bidding and Ethics", and "Ethics, Culture and Society" are completed. The studies were commissioned in order to facilitate the Council of Ethics to better carry out its advisory and research function and to ensure the involvement of the academia in the promotion of ethics. The results of these studies were announced at a conference in Ankara.
Study visit for members of the Council of Ethics to the partner institutions in the Netherlands (27 September-3 October 2009)

The main partner of the study visit is the National Integrity Office in the Netherlands (BIOS).
The purpose of the visit was to:
- assess the development of public ethics in the Netherlands;
- oversee how the National Integrity Office as a small oversight body works with ministries and other public bodies; and
- visit the selected ministries and municipalities to exchange views on the delivery of an ethics environment in practice.
The study visit concluded with feedback from the Turkish counterpart, the Council of Ethics for Public Service.
The implementation Guide and the facilitators guide are published!
[31 August 2009, Strasbourg] One of the aims of the project has been to develop a training strategy and a training package in order to support the application of the Code of Ethics and to consolidate the ethics training beyond the work of the project. The Ethical way - Ethical Leadership Programme is an outcome of this.
As part of the Programme,
- the Implementation Guide helps public sector organisations prepare their organisation for the Ethics Training Programme. In addition, it includes recommendations on how to consolidate ethical principles and how to apply it to their organisation following the training event;
- the Facilitators guide provides all the information a facilitator will need to know to run a training event on ethics within a public service organisation in Turkey.

Reed calls latest tax problem 'clerical error'
U.S. Rep. Tom Reed's tax problems are once again being brought to the forefront.
Just one week after admitting to paying his taxes late 38 times since 2005, new reports surfaced showing the Republican from Corning used campaign funds to pay a bill in 2012.
According to a report from Rochester's WHAM-ABC, Reed used his campaign account to pay $4,247.83 in late personal property taxes.
"This was an unfortunate clerical error and I take full responsibility for it," Reed said. "I immediately corrected the error by personally reimbursing my campaign account and at no time were there insufficient funds in my personal account to cover this erroneously written check from my campaign. Out of an abundance of caution, we promptly self-reported the error by issuing a statement for the public record to the FEC. We put new precautions and procedures in place in order to ensure this does not happen again."
Last week, it was reported that tax records from Steuben and Chemung counties, where Reed owns or has owned several properties in addition to his family home, showed he had paid $3,486.51 in interest and penalties, because he had repeatedly been late on his property taxes by a month or two.
Additionally, records showed taxes were paid late on three other properties owned in partnerships in which Reed is no longer involved.
Reed said in addition to the taxes being paid in full, out of more than 500 payments since 2005, some of the payments were indeed late.
"Since entering Congress in November 2010, I have been prohibited from being involved in the day-to-day operations of businesses," Reed said. "A number of these payments were made by employees or business partners of the business entities rather than directly by me. All payments, whether made directly by me or not, were paid in full. We take full responsibility and we're always working to improve."

12 Day China Delights (2012)
Tour Testimonials
My wife and I just returned from the 12 day China Delight tour with China Spree. They are an extraordinary tour operator. Their marketing material stresses that customer satisfaction is their number one priority. They take this claim seriously. Their staff, both in their Washington state administrative office and their tour guides on location, do virtually everything they can to accommodate the requests of their guests. They delivered on every single claim they made in their promotional material. The accommodations provided were excellent. Each meal was in a different venue and offered variety and local color. The busses were modern, air conditioned and comfortable. The group size was manageable and allowed for individual attention. But the one factor that brought it all together was the exceptional tour guides who were entertaining, knowledgeable, well organized, and genuinely interested in the well being and enjoyment of their guests. Our "national" tour guide, Jing, shepherded us through the entire trip starting with a brief orientation meeting on our first morning and continuing till our departure. She carefully described our upcoming schedule each day, gave us practical travel and shopping advice, and used the time riding to meals and attractions to describe local customs, everyday life, and Chinese housing and social service policies. These discussions were full of give and take with the tour participants. It was like having a personal friend to answer all of your questions. But it didnt end there. Jing gave us her cell phone number and was on call 24 hours. She was assisted by local guides in each city who shared their expertise on the history and unique characteristics of the cities they represented. All were friendly, well informed and candid. This is not a trip for the faint of heart, however. It is geared to serious travelers who are interested in absorbing as much as possible in the brief time available. The days are long and comprehensive, packed with a myriad of sights, tastes, and thought provoking impressions. This is the best packaged tour we have ever taken.
CS: Comment on your National guide
Answer: Jing Liang was absolutely incredible. She was tireless. It seemed she never slept. She met us when we got to the hotel late on the first night, made sure we were settled in, checked our satisfaction with the accomodations at each location and was up bright and early each day reviewing the daily itinerary. She got up at 4 AM on the last day to see us off. She was prompt, friendly and very much in charge. She was informative and entertaining on the bus, looked after us at each attraction, explained what we were seeing, gave us advice on local customs, and carefully described upcoming activities. She even watched over us when we were eating to familiarize us with the food and to make sure we were satisfied. She adapted to events beyond her control, such as traffic, weather, and crowds. She made it a point to connect with each and every person on the tour. She was so organized that she made it look effortless, but that kind of finess requires a great deal of preparation.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: Take China Spree. They really care.

China Spree attended to every detail so as to provide a memorable trip to China that far exceeded our expectations. Our guides went well beyond what would have been normally expected and were more than willing to share their views on modern-day China. I left with a much deeper understand and appreciation of China.
CS: Comment on your tour guide
Answer: Your National guide Victor was outstanding! Every detail was expertly taken care of but more importantly, he was willing to discuss basically every question we had about China. I feel I came away with a much better understanding of modern-day China. Further, Victor went well above what would be normally expected of him to insure we had a successful visit to China.

We have just returned from an exciting trip to China organized and well planned by China Spree. Indeed China is one of the worlds oldest and most advanced civilizations in the world. In my opinion a memorable trip is one that you can never forget and such was the case visiting China for me and my wife Parvin. I was simply amazed by Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Tongli and Hangzhous architect, history, glitzy theaters, and vibrant economy. The person responsible to make this trip memorable was none other than Victor (Li Tong BO). Victor was just superb with minute details. He showed lots of patience and took great care of each one of us individally as well as collectively. In our living memory this was the best tour we ever had. I shall highly recommend to all my friends and colleagues. I must say as an educator that Victor has a tremendous amount of communication skills and is a thorough gentleman. Finally, China Spree is very fortunate to have Victors services.

China is a "must see" destination. After hosting the Olympics and being the 2010 site of the World Expo, everything is clean, freshly painted and a pleasure to visit. You will not believe all the building growth in the last 20 years...China's metroplitan cities show off their being a world leader with lots of interesting history to share with visitors too. China Spree is a top-of-the-line tour company...they and their guides make a trip to China run as smooth as silk. You will be pleasantly surprised by what you find in China...it's closer to life in the US than you ever imagined.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: Now is a great time to visit China. You receive an exceedingly good value for your dollars. Everything is in tip-top shape after the Olympics and in preparation for hosting the World Expo in 2010. Your accomodations and food will exceed expectations!

I can't say enough good things about China Spree. We have been traveling around the world for over 30 years, always on our own. This was the first time we took a tour because we were a little nervous about getting around in China. It turns out it was one of the best trips we've ever taken. Everything was perfect. The itinerary gave us a good overview of China for the amount of time we had. We covered a lot of ground, and every arrangement, from airport to hotels to meals to entrances at sites, all went smoothly. The guides taught us a lot about China and really made everything seem so easy. They were helpful in planning our free days too. The group size was just right, and the hotels were very nice. China Spree did a great job of making China easy, fun, and educational, for a good price.
CS: Comment on your Tour Manager, using rate 1-10 while 10 is the best
Answer: 10. Excellent. Lynn was extremely competent at all the arrangements, and she had a lot of knowledge about China so we learned a lot of the history and local culture. She also always gave us a feeling of comfort that we were being looked out for. Everything went smoothly, arrangements, connections, check-ins at hotel, meals, thanks to Lynn. She also took time to give us individual advice on a few things, e.g. for our free days.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: Don't be afraid. Just dive in and go. its a fascinating place.

12-Day China Delights, January, 2010
WOW!!!! What a trip I had with China Spree and our marvelous national guide, Lynn. This company and Lynn managed every little detail for us, thereby diffusing any nervousness or hesitancy I may have had about traveling to China. I was on the China Delights tour in January, 2010 - a great time to visit by the way, fewer tourists!!! Each tour sight was well explained by Lynn so I understood the significance of what I was seeing as it related to the history and lives of the Chinese people. Every meal was superb. Loved, loved, loved the lunch prepared by a local family in Bejing!!! There was just the right amount of free time built in to this itinerary so I could explore on my own or just recooperate. And my accommodations were way beyond my expectations!! Think 5 star hotels every night!!!
CS: What did you like about this trip?
Answer: Our national guide, Lynn!!!!!! She is absolutely fabulous! Learning about China - WOW was I misinformed about the people, the culture, the lifestyle. Seeing historical places I'd only heard about or read a little about. The food!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Cow! did we ever eat well! Loved the lunch prepared at the home of a local family.
CS: Things that impressed you most on this trip
Answer: Lynn's knowledge and organizational skills. She really kept track of us all - including our passports and luggage, made sure we got whatever we asked for and kept checking with us to see if everything was OK. I never felt uninformed, lost, or that my questions were a bother to her. She was very excited to share her country and learn about the US. Loved that she arranged for a massage if we wanted to pay for one. I could have had a massage more often and I should have asked about it.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: GO, GO, GO!! It is a trip of a lifetime. This is not the China you think you know!

After reading about China Spree in the WSJ, I checked out their website because of the incredible bargain that was being offered on the special packages. I then did some research, reading views on several other websites and forums, and did not come across any negative comments. I also compared it to packages being offered by other travel sites...China Spree did not have that problem (as per the reviews). All other travel sites that had similar price ranges for the tour did NOT include the airfare. So I ended up selecting China Spree. After arriving to China, Jim, the national tour guide was there, patiently waiting for us at the airport. He then counted, and counted again, to make sure everyone was present before we headed for the bus. Once we got to the bus, we just left our bags by the side, and the driver place it underside for us. This pattern was repeated throughout the trip - we rarely had to handle the bags ourselves. The porter would pick it up from outside our room, Jim would count to make sure all the bags were on, and then we would get it back at our next stop, again, delivered by the porter, straight to our room. When we got on the bus, Jim said he never lost anyone during any of the tours, and given how he always counted at least two times whenever we travelled anywhere, I could see how it would be next to impossible to lose someone. The tours that we went on were excellent, and very enjoyable. It got better over time because the first two days, everyone was still getting acquainted with each other. But by the time the third day rolled around, we had already spent 3 meals a day together, and 10 hours telling each other stories about our life, so even the bus rides were fun because we were all having fun listening to Jim telling stories, jokes, and sometimes even sing! All in all, I had a great time and would highly recommend China Spree for anyone desiring to travel to China.

12-Day China Delights, November, 2009
This was our second trip to China in thirteen months. Our second trip with ChinaSpree was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our group, 28 people from around the US, were taken care of in every way possible. It started with excellent service in planning the trip, our visas taken care of for us, additional flights prior to leaving for China, etc. Once we landed in Beijing, we were met by our guide, Jim and from then on - everything was done to ensure our experience in China was a memorable one. The motorcoach was confortable, our luggage taken care of all along the way, hotel check-in taken care of - the hotel rooms were clean, modern, and the beds were the best! Entry into all exhibits - taken care of. Water provided every day for our use. Directing us towards the best of the "happy rooms" (toiets). Having planned the first trip ourselves the first time, taking a ChinaSpree tour for our second visit - we are already looking online for our next trip to China - and yes we will be going on another ChinaSpree tour - this time to include a trip to Tibet. I would highly recomment ChinaSpree for anyone planning a trip to China - you will want to return. They took care of everything and if we had any questions - either by emai or phone - all were answered prompty.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: I never thought I would make a first trip to China - we went for the Paralympics in 2008. Our second trup was strictly due to the trip offered by ChinaSpree. We are hooked and are looking forward to another trip. If you haven't put China on your list of places to visit - I would highly recommend it.

12-Day China Delights, November, 2009
CS: What could we have done to make your trip more enjoyable?
Answer: China Spree runs an excellent basic tour to China. Though the price tag is budget, nothing about the travel suggests anything but a high class operation. The itinerary is carefully arranged with a wide variety of stimulating tours, talks, and visits. Hotel accomadations are exceptional and include 5 star U.S. style hotels. Every effort is made to provide variety in the dining experience with quality food at attractive locations. Guides are thoughtful and responsive with clear English speaking skills. Overland transport is in spacious motor coaches. Tours are smooth and well organized. Though part of a group you never feel part of a herd. They have thought of everything! We compared notes with visitors from other tour groups that we met along the way--and China Spree came out high , high on top without exception. Even if you had not previously planned to see China, do it now with China Spree, there will never be a better time to capture some of Old China before it is gone, to contrast it with New China before it is too glitzy and expensive.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a tour to China to book through China Spree. My sister and I chose China Spree for our first trip to China, and we had a fantastic time. The company was helpful and friendly from the first contact through the trip itself. Everyone was very prompt and responsive to any questions we had and made sure we were well prepared for our introduction to China, as they sent us a pre-trip packet which was invaluable. Once we got to China, our tour guide, Lisa, was exceptional. She welcomed us to China and gave us a more intimate look into Chinese life than we expected. Our tour took us to incredible sights of China, all while being able to enjoy the ride. China Spree provided a hassle-free, adventurous and fun trip. Everyone involved from China Spree made this an unforgettable trip for an unbelievable value.
CS: Things that impressed you most on this trip
Answer: The efficiency of the tour guides, Lisa and Suzy. They were fantastic. Also, the smoothness of the trip- everything from the bus transportation to the hotels to the sightseeing stops. Everything was so well-organized.
CS: Comment on your Tour Manager, using rate 1-10 while 10 is the best
Answer: Lisa was a 10. She was better than a 10, actually. She was happy the entire time, tried to work with hotel and airline staff to ensure quick processing and smooth travel. Lisa was funny, friendly and extremely informative. She really made everyone feel welcome and answered all of our questions. She made the trip very special.
12-Day China Delights, August, 2009
I enjoyed the tour China Spree offered. The Hotel accomodaitons, and the food were excellent. The sightseeing was breathtaking. Guided, by a caring and personable national tour guide, you will be able to experience the hospitality of local common people, and admire the booming economy of modern China. You'll never feel lost in this strange and mysterious country such as is China. Although it seems like a hectic schedule, you will have enough time to relax and pamper yourself with the excellent accomodaitions of luxurious hotels. Indeed you will feel at home while far away from home. I would indeed recommed this tour, and am planning on joining China Spree to visit other regions of China in the near future.
CS: Comment on your Tour Manager, using rate 1-10 while 10 is the best
Answer: Lisa was very friendly, and accomodating, genuine and sincere. She defended our interests like a Dragon Lady, and was like a mother to all of us. She kept the group together like a big family. I think she deserves the best score. I give her a 10.

I would happily recommend China Spree to anyone wanting to travel with a tour group in China. Our group only had 10 people total (all American) and we were like family by the end of the trip. Our national and local guides were extremely knowledge and friendly. The price was great for what we received on this trip. The hotels we stayed in were nice, even compared to American hotels. There weren't any superfluous shopping stops, none that we didn't want to stop into anyways. The meals we got three times a day were delicious and filling (mostly chinese food served family style). Since the groups are smaller, it allows a little bit more flexibility as compared to other tours. I would highly recommend China Spree to anyone from the US traveling to China.
12-Day China Delights, July, 2009
China Spree delivers everything it promises and a bit more. The hotels were a very pleasant surprise, and our National Guide, Ming Li, was a real gem.
CS: What did you like about this trip?
Answer: The hotels were excellent, the trip organization was good, the bus was air conditioned, and our National Tour Guide, Ming Li, was simply great, the best guide I have ever had. The local guides were also good, especially "Shirley" in Beijing. I especially liked the Temple of Heaven park because I could observe locals at leisure.

Answer: Take your laptop with you as all hotels had in-room wifi coverage. Only the Shanghai Renaissance charged for this service. The cities on this tour were modern so do not fret excessively over cleanliness. Bring a raincoat. Taxis are quite inexpensive; a 15-20 minute fare was around $5 U.S. Take an extra valise or bag to take items home. Be ready to negotiate for most items in the bazaars or from vendors. A vendor might ask 480 rmb for an item and you might end up paying 30 or 40 rmb after negotiation. If you can unlock your cellphone, China (especially Beijing) prepaid sim cards are inexpensive.

Our China Spree trip was one of the best values for a vaction trip we have ever taken. When I would tell people how much are ALL INCLUSIVE 12 day trip to China was costing us, they couldn't believe it. And then, to make it even better, the hotels we stayed in far exceeded our expectations. We visited China last year during the Summer Para-Olympics. We enjoyed it so much that when we saw an ad for China Spree and what they offered we decided to go again. Even though we had seen most of the sights in Beijing, we knew we would be traveling to other locations that we hadn't visited. It was still fun to visit the same locations in Beijing and have a tour guide give us more detailed information. At all the places we had been before, we still saw new things that we had missed during our previous trip. We were in a small group of 15 people and had a lot of fun getting to know them and our tour guide was such a wonderful guide. She was so concerned about our enjoyment of the tour at all times and provided so much good information and answered all our questions so well. We feel as though we have made a good friend in China! We enjoyed the trip so much that we are already considering another trip with China Spree to see areas that we missed on this trip! Because Chinese hotel beds tend to be very hard which American tourists don't like, our tour guide told us that she has personally visited all the potential hotels that they would use and jumped on the beds to make sure they would only book hotels with soft beds! This is just one example of the amount of care China Spree takes in trying to make the trip as enjoyable as possible.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: If you want to see China, this is the best way to go. There is no way that you would be able to do everything we did for the same amount of money and still get all the meals and stay in hotels as wonderful as the ones we stayed in. Highly, highly, highly reccomended. Ding, ding, ding, ding, hau!

CS: What did you like about this trip?
Answer: Our guides made the trip. We were in a small group and did not have a national guide, but honestly there was no need. They were both incredibly well informed and very flexible to our needs as a group. Specifically we were there during the total solar eclipse on July 22nd and our guide completely altered the schedule so that we would have the entire morning on the day of the eclipse. The schedule remained paced in a way that was completely do-able however. Our guides also made sure we were given what the tour had said we would be, namely on several occasions the restaurants were resistant to us getting two glasses of drinks. Cici (our local guide in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai) was particularly excellent at handling restaurant staff. The trip was paced well, Beijing was busy and we had slower days and the trip continued so it did not seem like we were exhausted and overwhelmed. The hotel choices were excellent. The restaurant choices were amazing! The food was wonderful and our group always found several dishes at each meal that we really liked! Although China can be a hard trip on children the age of our son (9), our guides were SPECTACULAR with him. They went out of their way to make sure he was enjoying himself and give him enough time to do everything. Our guide in Shanghai specifically helped us find a bathroom he had heard about because he had mentioned it so much. Both our guides were very concerned with our safety in the streets but our Beijing guide, Michael, went out of his way, often holding his hand specifically during the visit. At no time did we feel really rushed because we were a group, it was like traveling with family and our guides were the best thing about the tour and I hope you continue to use both of them! Both spoke excellent English, much much better than we were expecting! They were great ambassadors for their country.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: You will enjoy this trip! China was full of items of historical and cultural significance and they will be awe inspiring. Be open to new things and you will find yourself cataloging an enormous amount of unforgettable memories and experiences.

This was one of the best travel bargains I have ever had. The quality of the accommodations was uniformly excellent. The breakfast buffets at these hotels were all quite good - and a couple were outstanding. The dinners and lunches were very fine and again some of them were top notch. And it was great that so many meals were included - unlike most tours which often provide only 2 or 3 dinners. The guides were top quality and flexible with demanding Americans! China Spree is working hard to make sure their tours are great value and in my opinion, they have succeeded very well indeed.
CS: Things that impressed you most on this trip
Answer: The guides and the quality of the hotels. I was also very impressed with Tongli, Suzhou at night and Hangzhou. I am glad that I saw these places. Some of the meals were excellent. All were fine.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: Read the material that China Spree sends you before the trip and you cannot go wrong. It was an excellent way to prepare for the trip.

I have traveled to four continents several times. I have lived in several countries and have experienced my fair share of great travel experiences and not so great. China Spree, without a doubt, is one of the BEST. The guides were friendly and always worked to make the group happy, the hotels are amazing and make you feel like you are on a luxury vacation, and the customer service of China Spree impeacable! I looked at A LOT of companies- by price, by ratings, by itinerary- and China Spree was the best. Thanks to them I Know I will be returning to China... and I do plan to use the company again. I HIGHLY reccomend you travel to China with China Spree. As a side note, my sister went to China with another company three months before me and her experience was totally different from mine. Its like we did not see the same country! China Spree is the best!
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: China Spree is the best way to see China... an amazing country that MUST be visited!

China Spree has a great thing going. They not onky hire tour guides with personalities and a wealth of knowledge about the tour sites, but also personalize the trip by providing a meal in a local home and giving us a true flavor of the people and the country, I researched several tour companies and selected China Spree for price and the quaility they seemed to offer in the tour locations, accomodations and the all inclusiveness of the package. They far exceeded my expectations.
CS: Based on your experience from this trip what would you like to say to potential travelers to China?
Answer: China Spree is the real deal. I would recommend them to all travelers to China.

We toured China with China Spree's 12-day China Delight tour and had the most wonderful experience. From the first time we met our guide Lynn Dong in Bejing to when she left us at the airport in Shinghai we had an adventure of a lifetime. China is a clean and beautiful country. Our guides led us through an adventure in China filled with culture, friendly people and sights that included one of the wonders of the world. We toured China with a group of 13 family members including 7 children who all came home with memories that will last a lifetime. I believe that the highlite of the tour for them was the Great Wall. Thanks for the memories!
CS: According to your experience from this trip what would you suggest to those who are going to traveling to China?
Answer: I have been telling them already, "Be prepared for an Adventure of a Lifetime"

My tour with China Spree far surpassed my expectations. The quality of the hotels, food and guides was superb. If I can ever go back China, I intend to look at China Spree first. China was clean, comfortable and the people we dealt with were friendly and helpful.

End of a Runway? Build those houses!May 29, 2013 by Bruce Landsberg
You just have to wonder about the sanity of some people charged with developing communities. This article appeared in the Island Packet newspaper in Hilton Head, S.C. (bold print is added):
Hilton Head Committee to Consider Rezoning Near Airport
by Brian Heffernan
Owners of a failed 8.56-acre housing development off Beach City Road, not far from the Hilton Head Island Airport runway, are seeking a zoning change to allow for higher density residential redevelopment. The Planning and Development Standards Committee, which includes Town Council members, will review the rezoning application at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Town Hall.
The land is about 3,000 feet from the north end of the runway, within the airport's approach path and partially within the outer hazard zone.
The Federal Aviation Administration, S.C. Aeronautics Commission, Beaufort County government, and town staff have all advised against increasing the property's allowable density from the current four homes per acre to up to 12 homes per acre.
The town Planning Commission, however, voted 5-3 earlier this month to recommend the rezoning.
The owners, 217 Beach City Road LLC, say their lender will foreclose on the property if they are unable to rezone the development, called Beach City Place. Only one house has been built on the 32 planned lots since 2009. Rezoning for higher density could make it more economically viable, a Planning Commission member has said. The State Aeronautics Commission said a denser residential development that close to the runway would subject its tenants to "major safety and quality-of-life risks" and might make it difficult for the airport to get funding and permission for runway extensions. Some Planning Commission members, however, doubted whether the risk of chronic noise or an airplane crash on the property should keep the land from being rezoned.
Wanna bet that none of the planning commission members who voted on this incredibly ill-conceived idea will live in the affected area? The risk of a crash is small, but it's there, and the noise impact is guaranteed! When the complaints invariably come in from residents who are foolish enough to move into such a development, do you think the developer or the planning commission members will take responsibility? They will be long gone, and somebody will say, "Mistakes were made—we're sorry." Wonder if "Errors and Omissions" insurance covers greed and economic self-interest? Hilton Head pilots and responsible residents, you need to speak up—now!
AOPA, through its Airports Division, works hard to block this lunacy nationwide, but we can't do it without local support. The AOPA Foundation, working with the Airports division and local pilots, supports education programs showing that airports can be huge community assets and good neighbors, but building residential housing off the end of runways is just a bad idea no matter how much it may appear to help the tax base.
Watch your own community around the airport closely. AOPA's Airport Support Network (ASN) volunteer program is the place to assist the existing volunteer or to become one yourself. Donations to the Foundation support these activities. It's a good investment!

Safety Tips for Spring
Spring is here! With the change of the season, our thoughts turn to Easter celebrations, spring cleaning, outdoor activities and maybe even some home improvement projects. Before you begin your seasonal chores or outdoor activities, take inventory of potential hazards for your furry friends. Easter treats and decorations Keep Easter lilies and candy bunnies in check — chocolate goodies are toxic to cats, dogs and ferrets. Lilies can be fatal if ingested. Also, be mindful that kitties love to nibble on colorful plastic grass, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, and potentially cause severe vomiting and dehydration.

"To assess the state of smart-grid deployment, metrics were established to measure these attributes. Data collection for the Smart Grid System Report (SGSR) was performed by interviewing 24 selected electricity service providers representing a cross section of the industry. As part of the agreement with interviewees, the results were provided to all participants in a blinded form in advance of delivering the SGSR to Congress.
As the interviews only involved electricity service providers, they emphasize aspects of the electric utility enterprise. Other aspects, particularly those of deployment advances on the demand side, were beyond the scope of these interviews."

Skip to comments.Team Arpaio: Obama ID 'Document' Fraud Could Lead To Mail And Wire Fraud; Missing Obama Year
Posted on 06/09/2013 1:47:50 PM PDT by Cold Case Posse Supporter
Lt. Mike Zullo in a weekend radio interview revealed that Barack Obama's August 4, 1961 birthday may not actually be true. Zullo stated that August 4, 1961 could have been the day the plane from Kenya landed in Hawaii and was used as Obama's birthday for the record. He made the allegation that the birth certificate that Perkins Coie lawyer Judith Corley flew to Hawaii to get and return it to Washington was not the document that was presented to the American public on April 27,2011. For more stunning information from Mike Zullo, listen to the two part interview.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Here is the source link:
Interview one:
Interview two:
Tick tock tick tock tick tock..........!
The human debris living and outnumbering us in this country don't care. Everybody Loves Barry.
Watch 0bama forget his fake birth date here:
"President Obama said (On July 15, 2011) he was turning 50 next week at his press conference today. Actually, it is more like three weeks away."http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/07/15/obama_forgets_his_own_birthday.html
You don't know that.
Would somebody be so kind as to post a transcript of this "stunning information" so the hard of hearing can read it?
What a great, pithy quote! Let's keep this one!
The conclusion was that given the state of air travel in 1961 she probably couldn't have made the trip if she were pregnant ~ there were no direct flights from Hawaii, Washington state, or even New York to Kenya in those days.
However, someone could have brought a baby from Kenya without a lot of difficulty.
You might want to do some research into the FR archives ~
"so the hard of hearing can read it?"
Who's gonna remove him from office? SCOTUS? Yah,that'll happen! The Senate? Maybe....if it contains 80 Republicans starting in January '15.And even then it ain't a certainty.
Good God...I hope you're not suggesting that he'd resign?
I think you are right. The "gimmies" and the brainwashed outnumber the producers.
It's when he tells the truth that scares me!
whatever happened with Virginia's brother suing for her BC?
I called my congressmans office last Thursday (yes, I used my Verizon cellphone). As I enumerated my concerns regarding the Won, the aide interjected, stating that there is NOT just one SSN (Harrison Bounel) associated with the Won, but SEVEN!
I believe he was told that if they gave him access to her ORIGINAL birth record, that 0bama's record "might get torn" so they couldn't risk that happening. And no I'm not joking.
I wouldn't be surprised if all this was to keep people busy trying to prove something that can't be proven.
His handlers picked the right weapon when they picked him.
We have known for five years that there are multiple SSN. It is curious that NOW someone in government finally admits this fact.
He and his mother were in Washington state just a few weeks after is alleged birth date.
An eye witness has said the baby (Obama) was only a few weeks old.
Even traveling from Hawaii to Washington with a baby that age would have been virtually impossible much less Kenya.
A baby that age cannot clear their ears like an adult so the pressure up and pressure down would have ruptured his eardrums more than likely.
His mother was probably in Canada when she dropped jug ears so she could be in school in Washington.
The walls are closing in on Obama!
Locate the manifests from all the flights from Kenya to Hawaii on 8/4/61 and determine if any infants were on board.
Funny isn't it?
It is the producers who are getting the screws put to them, yet we just keep producing.
Ad all the liberals have to do is throw us a scandle to chew on....kinda like throwing a bone to a barking dog.
You left out a possibility. Just sayin'
If your only comment is to piss on this issue then why don't you just shut up.
This is serious progress
it's not the first time Odumbass seemed to have forgotten his birth date
Stanley got punished WITH A BABY!
I cannot believe what is happening in America.
You left out a possibility. Just sayin
Please explain the mechanism wherein Osama Obama will be driven from office....details,please.Where's the Woodward...the Bernstein? Where's the John Dean? Where's the Cronkite? Where are the demonstrations on college campuses?
Answer those in a plausible way and we'll move on to the 18 minute gap and the Sam Ervin.It's hard to imagine Bernie Sanders,Elizabeth Warren or Babs Boxer in the role of Ervin.
I've been around the block a few times in my many years on this planet...certainly as many times as most here and many,many more times than quite a few.I suspect that I understand better than most just how far this country...or,better still,the Rat Party....has descended into the ooze.
There are no manifests anymore according to the National Archives. The only thing that is available are the INS forms that passengers would have to sign arriving in Hawaii via Pan-Am or TWA and it just so happens that the INS forms are blacked out for the week of Obama's birth.
Like Congress that votes themselves a raise. The "gimmies" vote themselves a raise. Eventually a top heavy tree will fall over.
I agree, but the top heavy tree of government, just uses props to keep it from falling. More taxes, higher taxes, people buying things from companies that support socialism.
Government will continue, riding on our backs until we........SHRUG.
or until they kill us.
No we did!
Ya think? RICO statutes apply.
Stanley got punished WITH A BABY!
Actually, America got punished with Stanley's baby.
Keyword trolls have struck again. Too bad they can't be zotted.
Noticed that. I wonder who they are?
Only the mods know but it apparently isn't a TOS violation.
..............Locate the manifests from all the flights from Kenya to Hawaii on 8/4/61 and determine if any infants were on board..........
I'm sure that all records between June thru December 1961, have been lost due to mold in the records room!
Arapio! Put up or shut up.
It would be fine with me if he sat in his big office and sucked his thumb for the next 3 1/2 years.
I am beginning to believe that Arapio and Zullo are sadistic teases.
But,realistically,what are the chances of a guy who's committed every word of "Rules For Radicals" to memory doing that? What are the chances of a fellow who was *personally* mentored by Bill Ayers doing that?
Call me a pessimist but to me the answer to both questions is "zero".
Are you sure there were any?
You know you can get the letters S-A-T-A-N out of Stanley Ann.
See my post 33. The record shows only one person came to the US by air during the year ended June 30 1962.
It took me about 10 minutes to find that information and process it. Why a professional investigator like Zullo couldn't do the same after months of research is beyond me.

Also take as a preventative when going to do work that involves the upper body (use the computer, cut the grass, vacuum) Highly recommend.
I have been using Spascupreel in conjunction with a couple other homeopathic medicines for my dog who has degenerative disk disease and arthritis and we have not had to use ANY prescription NSAID's on him in well over a year, close to two now. Very happy :)
Works wonders for our Pup

My husband says it works very well. Although he wishes when it is shipped that it would get here in 3-5 days when using the mail, instead of 10 business days.
Excellent results

When helping the band pack up tonight, I noticed that one of the boards in the middle of the stage is pretty near to collapse. This has happened before and I think Ken fixed it by taking up the offending board and putting in a new support struct underneath.
Can someone contact him to ask him to do the same again?

I mixed for 5 minutes with the paddle attachment, and another 4 with the dough hook. Finished dough temperature was 71 F. Do you have any recommendations on using the paddle and/or the dough hook when mixing, or if my mixing times seem a little lenghty?
Ill post the picture of the top vent hole with my next post. And lastly, I thought you should know that over the weekend I had an expert pizzaiolo from one of Mexico Citys most popular (and expensive) Italian restaurants tell me that its impossible to get a wood fired oven over 850 degrees F. He also didnt agree that Neapolitan was a specific style of pizza, saying that it was more of a general category with many possible variations within. I dared him to post those statements on this forum haha.

Frewsburg Youths Up To Challenge
Thanks to the efforts of nearly 30 Frewsburg area youth, the town of Carroll has one less eyesore.
McKenzie Cass, Jacob Caldwell and a bunch of their classmates at Frewsburg Central School have spent the past several months helping one of their Amish neighbors clean up their yard; a mess of plastic, tires and other debris. Other than four piles of tires, most of the mess is now gone – leaving usable space for the family living on the property.
Give credit to Cass and Caldwell for having a bigger vision than simply one property in Carroll.
"After doing this procedure and this process, we are challenging other schools and other towns and communities to follow this procedure," Cass told Chautauqua County legislators this week. "It's a chain effect. We can improve our communities one small town at a time."
Every town has a property that could use some tender loving care. Every town has high school students or clubs in need of a community service project. They just need a reason to participate and perhaps some money to help the project along. Cass and Caldwell think they have solved that problem, proposing a cleanup challenge and asking legislators for $10,000 to use as seed money. We would suggest asking local foundations who already help with such worthy projects to help provide the seed money.
That suggestion aside, Cass and Caldwell have proposed an idea that could benefit every town and village in the county. It should become a reality.

Just recently started buying teas from Adagio. I started with the Executus blend from Diggnation. It was pretty good so I ordered some Jasmine teas, and some flavored teas. Just thought I'd check out these tea forums for some advice.
I bought a sample of the Jasmine #12 Pearls and they taste smoky. Is it supposed to taste like that? An iced version I get from a local tea shop taste more perfumey and I really like it that way.
Anyway, Hello forumers, I'm sure I'll enjoy it here.
