A Boutique Hotel Steps from Waikiki Beach
Stay Hotel Waikiki • Honolulu, HI
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Queen Room with Sofa Bed
- 50% Off Pearl Harbor & Circle Island Tour for Two with Roberts Hawaii
- Daily Light Continental Breakfast, Wi-Fi, Unlimited DVD and Video Game Rentals, and Daily Newspaper

The Destination
Oahu is synonymous with surfside splendor. Imagine lounging on the beach for days on end as your tan darkens; rinsing salty water out of your hair after a morning surf; relaxing with locals at a lively evening luau. But while the beach is king, there's much more for visitors to soak up on this Hawaiian island paradise: miles of labyrinthine trails crisscross the rain forest, while glamorous parties carry on in the shadow of Honolulu's modern skyline. And, of course, history turns poignant at Pearl Harbor.
The Digs
And where better to experience Oahu than on iconic Waikiki Beach? You'll be steps away from the sand at Stay Hotel Waikiki, a boutique hotel that caters to young—and young-at-heart!—travelers in search of an adventurous and spirited stay in Hawaii. Within walking distance of numerous attractions (from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center to the Honolulu Zoo) this hip hotel is decorated with tastefully tropical colors balanced by sleek white furnishings.
Deluxe Queen Rooms are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, an iPod dock, and a flat-screen TV with DVD player and PlayStation 2, with unlimited game and movie rentals. You'll also be treated to a light continental breakfast each morning of your stay. At night, pop into Sway Restaurant + Bar for drinks and some Pacific cuisine (huli huli beer can chicken, anyone?).
The Diversions
• For half off, join the Pearl Harbor & Circle Island Tour, which takes guests to visit the sunken USS Arizona, the visitors' center, and the museum
• Walk to the Royal Hawaiian Center to explore more than 110 shops and restaurants
• Try snorkeling in the calm waters of nearby Kapiolani Beach Park
• Visit the Waikiki Aquarium and the Honolulu Zoo, both within walking distance of the hotel
"The staff is super friendly, the hotel is clean, and it's in the best spot in Waikiki, close to everything. Very cool vibe in the lobby."-- Hotels.com

are you still doing this monthly if so what are the themes for the next couple of months? Are there pictures?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
are you still doing this monthly if so what are the themes for the next couple of months? Are there pictures?
May you always have love to share
Health to spare &
Friends who care.
i can answer the first part: yes, we're doing this monthly. but as for the second part, you'll have to ask suzie!
we're kind of loosly strung, but we have a very good time!
so nice to have met dottie! and we had a good time critiquing everyone's work, lol, in the nicest sort of way, of course!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
Each theme is brought out the first of the month.
The challenge is to work with some aspect of artsy quilts that will challenge you to push yourself to a new place. Then we love it when projects are shared. We can all learn from and be inspired by each other...........
This month the theme is to play with 'Gold'
Please join us and play with some new idea every month.
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
I love this handy necklace. Now I don't have to look under the bed when the thread rolls off.
Dotty in NYC
man, am i the only one hitting the side of my head, going "wish i'd thought of that!!"? such a simple and absolutely brilliant idea! i wonder, do they have it in gold?
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
So, what's the advantage of wearing a spool of thread around your neck? You still have to cut and knot the thread you're using...meaning it doesn't work like a spindle on a sewing machine...so does it do anything besides keep you from 'misplacing' your thread spool between reloading your needle? Just curious.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
It's for hand sewing, on the couch, at a quilting bee meeting. Any hand sewing project!!
Dotty in NYC
Yeah, I got that part of it. I hand sew a lot of things, but still cut the thread off the spool before I start stitching. Guess I'm just dense.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
Howdy one and all,
I am back from a long trip to the US where I got to buy some new fabric and a few news toys from Martelli. They are my favorite cutters and rulers.
So now that I have had some sleep and washed some clothes..... to work in earnest......bling here I come!
What are you guys working on?

[quote user="dezzzR"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="bigblue4417"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"]honestly, I think Miles Austin and Dezz Bryant are the best WR combo in the league
it pains me to say that
And they may also have the best receiving TE in the league as well
Could you imagine if Brady/Peyton/Rodgers/Brees had those weapons?
Only if Romo was a real QB with a lil clutch in him....
eh thats the beauty of fantasy though, clutch has nothing to do with the stats that matter in fantasy
[/quote]yes and no. if he were clutch hed be getting more points, right? because hes not clutch hes leaving points on the field both in real life and ff.
thats a stretch
HE could throw for 500 yards but lose the game because its tied and he throws another pick 6. He wouldn't be clutch but he'd still have a sick fantasy day

Big news: Sherlock season three is on its way!
Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013
A date has been set for the return of one of television's most eagerly anticipated shows: Sherlock season 3 will premiere on Masterpiece on Sunday, January 19, 2014 at 10/9 pm, following the 9/8 pm broadcast of Downton Abbey.
Benedict Cumberbatch (The Fifth Estate, Star Trek Into Darkness) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office UK) return as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in three new 90-minute episodes of the contemporary reinvention of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle classic, created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss.
"The genius Sherlock team has done it again," says Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton. "These new episodes are as wildly-imaginative and brilliantly-produced as all the others. These people are GOOD!"
Nearly 11 million viewers tuned into the second season of Sherlock, which ended with one of the most shocking cliffhangers in television history. Fans flocked to the internet to speculate about Sherlock's "demise," and express their eagerness to find out what happens next.
Check out this Entertainment Weekly exclusive story about the new season!

Lots to filter through today. Shall we just get started?
Yeah, that sounds like a plan!
Metallica and Black Sabbath are teaming up for a special one-off joint release.The rock legends are both contributing a track to a 12-inch vinyl single which will be limited to just 1000 copies to celebrate Record Store Day on April 17.

Speaking of UNKLE, the band's fourth proper album, Where Did The Night Fall, is now available for pre-order via online stores. Get your "buy fingers" ready and head over here.
London's Punks Jump Up are some of our favorite badass knob twiddlers, and they get even beastlier by giving away their March Mix for free.

April 27 was a big day for many of Disney's hottest stars. Zendaya, Cody Simpson, the girl group Fifth Harmony, and many other celebrities walked the red carpet at the Radio Disney Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. The awards honor the most popular musical acts, as chosen by fans in an online vote.
"The Radio Disney Music Awards are special," Cameron Boyce told TFK Kid Reporter Gloria Choi. He plays Luke Ross on the Disney show Jessie. "This is a great chance for everyone from Disney to have fun together and bond with the fans."
Fan Favorites
Selena Gomez, One Direction, Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, and Fifth Harmony all won big at the Radio Disney Music Awards. Song of the Year went to Selena Gomez's "Come and Get It." One Direction won Best Music Group. Justin Timberlake won Best Male Artist, and Demi Lovato won Best Female Artist. The awards honored Fifth Harmony with Breakout Artist of the Year and their song "Me & My Girls" won Best Song to Rock Out to with Your BFF.
"We love our fans for their continuous support and kindness," said Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony. "To all our fans, thank you for everything you have dedicated to us."
Other winners included Becky G. for Best New Artist and Zendaya for Artist with the Best Style. Ariana Grande, who had three top 5 singles for a combined 73 weeks, received the Radio Disney Chart Topper Award. And the popular song "Let It Go" from the widely adored Disney movie Frozen also picked up an award.
Stars' Choice
On the red carpet, Disney stars voiced their opinions on who should take home Radio Disney Music Awards. Olivia Holt, best known for playing Kim on Disney XD's Kickin' It, predicted Ariana Grande would win Best New Artist. "It's hard to choose because there are so many great artists out there," Holt told TFK. "But I'm going with Ariana Grande. She has such a unique voice."
Dove Cameron, best known for her role in Disney's Liv and Maddie, predicted correctly that "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen would win big. "The song has become so popular and everyone loves it," said Cameron.
Stars also named pop band R5 and singers Olivia Holt and Zendaya as their favorite contenders for the night.
But the ceremony isn't all about winning awards. G. Hannelius of the Disney Channel show Dog with a Blog said it best: "The Radio Disney Music Awards are a great bonding experience for everyone," she told TFK. "Fellow Disney people meet up with each other, and fans can meet their favorite stars. All in all, it's a happy mood, and it feels great to share that with everyone around me."

The View Across the Potomac: Love at First Sight
Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel • Arlington, VA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Traditional Guest Room, Thursdays through Sundays
- Breakfast for Two at the Potomac Restaurant
- Included Parking
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers to Extend Stay
The Destination
Washington's best-kept secret isn't even in the city proper—it's in Virginia. Less than a mile from the scenic Potomac River and boasting postcard-worthy views of DC's major monuments, Pentagon City places the whole of Washington at your fingertips from the seclusion of an upscale suburban setting. All walks of DC life converge here whether it's inside the Metro system's most-traveled subway stop, under the glass atrium of the Washington area's biggest shopping mall, or on the wildly popular bike trails that run all the way to Maryland. Proximity to the nation's capital is Pentagon City's biggest draw, but visitors will find it an adequate destination in and of itself.
The Digs
Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel's proximity to power is obvious—it overlooks both the iconic Pentagon building and the Potomac River. Traditional rooms offer plush pillow-top mattresses, marble-clad bathrooms, and stunning monument views. Perks like in-room movies and video games and high-speed Internet provide delightful distractions, and daily newspaper service keeps you up to date with the news across the river. In the morning, the on-site Potomac Restaurant serves Belgian waffles with strawberries or steel-cut oatmeal with cinnamon, pecans, and raisins along with coffee, tea, and juice.
The Diversions
It's easy to see why this Virginia-based Escape is for lovers. The adorable Village at Shirlington is the perfect place to stroll hand-in-hand down its tree-lined streets touting a slew international restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment venues like the award-winning Signature Theatre. Still, you'll want to spend an intimate evening in DC, and the Pentagon City Metro station is just two stops from the heart of downtown. Get off at Gallery Place and tour bustling F Street where Madame Tussaud's, Ford's Theatre, the National Portrait Gallery, and the International Spy Museum are mere blocks away. For lunch, grab a baguette at Cowgirl Creamery—a tasty cheese shop on F Street. Grab a cocktail at the Speakeasy inside LivingSocial's 918 F Street. For dinner, get close with shareable plates: Ping Pong Dim Sum serves up scrumptious Asian-style dumplings while La Tasca lays out a spread of savory Spanish tapas.

By Charles K. Trainor
This past summer was one that many people would like to forget. The economy was battered. Hurricane Irene destroyed thousands of homes along the East Coast. Tropical Storm Lee soaked states along the Gulf Coast and the already waterlogged Eastern Seaboard. Unfortunately, it missed drought-stricken Texas, where wild fires scorched over 100,000 acres, destroying hundreds of homes. In addition to enormous human suffering, these disasters caused a severe economic impact on homeowners and businesses.
Other events at home and abroad also affected our economy. Turmoil in global financial markets increased stress levels for governments and investors alike. Rumors about the possibility of several European nations defaulting on their debts were partly to blame. Here at home, we experienced our own brush with default until Congress and the President finally reached a less-than-elegant compromise to raise our national debt limit.
Throughout the tense negotiations, many were concerned that the U.S. government would lose its AAA credit rating, the highest and most valued designation used by independent rating agencies. These ratings rank the ability of borrowers to repay their debts. In most cases, the higher the credit rating, the lower the interest costs for the borrower. For municipal borrowers such as school districts, that can mean significant savings over time.

Stop Being a Bag Lady (or Bag Guy)
David Suzuki | Posted 10.01.2012 | Canada

Canadians use between nine and 15 billion plastic bags a year, enough to circle the Earth more than 55 times, according to Greener Footprints. (U.S. citizens use about 100 billion a year!) Few plastic bags are recycled. Plastic bags are bad and for the most part unnecessary. Many of us older folks remember a time, only a few decades ago, when we didn't have them. Sure, they're convenient, but is that an excuse to damage the environment and the life it supports?

Az ingatlan értékelései
First we would like to mention the location of the apartment is great, peaceful and yet close to the center. Nonetheless we find the price/quality proportion unfair. Although it is an okay apartment, we found the pictures of the apartment misleading. The apartment is not as good as it looks. For example the couches and the bed were uncomfortable and there are less plants in the apartment than is shown on the pictures. The bathtub is old en therefore difficult to clean.
Our stay was without any complaint. Nice neighborhood, good apartment and excellent and flexible service and correspondence. Thank you.
Perfect - clean, quiet and all what you need, nice rooms. Very good communication with the hirer. Fain again.
Very short ways to the city!
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Fantastic location. Very small elevator. We are travelling with a baby and had to take the wheels of the stroller when going in to the elevator. Lovely staff who provided both a highchair and a bathtub for babies. Fantastic. The gas stove was a little tricky to get going and the water heater has a life of its own (you never know when to expect high or low temperatures when showering). One bwd is really good the other is not as nice but not a big problem if you are staying for a short time.Would stay here again without a doubt.
We stayed for 2 weeks. Fast service and the host also answered emails fast. Really a great flat and location, although the toilet door is a thin wardrobe door which is hard to close.
The house was nice and clean. All necessary things were provided. It is in a comfortable central area of the city, perfect for group of friends. The owner was very friendly and cordial.
The only disadvantage is the gas water heater is placed too close to the passing area with open fire that can be dangerous.
clean appartment in center of Budapest.
Everything was great. Nice flat, evth is like on the pics and as described. Thanks a lot.

Eleanor Clift visits Strawberry Bluff
Photo submitted by Dr. Doug Jeffries on 9/17/2012.
Last week, renowned political columnist Eleanor Clift visited Ozarks to talk about the 2012 elections and end of life issues. Her visit was sponsored through a joint program by the Council of Independent Colleges and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
And while she was here, some of the students and faculty involved in the Ozarks Outdoors program couldn't pass up a chance to show her some of what makes Arkansas such a special place. Lauren Ray, Planet Club President, arranged a trip to take Ms. Clift to Stawberry Bluff for an afternoon hike.
"She calls this picture 'Eleanor and her Sherpas,'" Dr. Jeffries said, "as the 'guys' helped her down the hill from the road to the bluffs."

I had a nice ripe capped queen cell in a queenless nuc that was due to emerge yesterday. I went to look today to see if it had emerged, expecting to see an open and empty QC, and there was no QC there at all anymore, just a smooth dimple in the comb as though nothing had ever been there! I had marked the frame and the side, and there were no remnants on other frames either. I know where it was, and now it's GONE.
So my question is- do the bees sometimes break down and remove the empty QC the day after the virgin emerges, as part of their housekeeping maybe? Kind of weird!

We have at least 1 person if not two that can fly.
Sanji is a given. There should be no place a flying person can reach that Sanji can't himself.
Then there is Robin. She could fly for a few seconds pre-skip. I'm curious to see if that is improved at all.
As for Monet, I don't see her joining. I don't see anyone joining except Jimbei the rest of the series IMO.

Ah, ah, ah. You can't use Sanji and Robin as examples because their midair techniques are more along the lines of gliding rather than flying. Notice that we haven't seen either of them use their so-called "flying" techniques travel long distances, now. Geez, this reminds me that I really have to find the source of that interview where Oda mentioned that "no flying member" fact.....

clearly monet will joined perona in the traumatized pirate fangirls of zoro organization to make sure he has a willing harem later, in order to make sanji commit suicide to save women kind.
anyways now that the speculation is out of the way...
solid chapter, fun interaction with the others and zoro is still badass but given how strong he is will there be any actual serious challenge for him any time soon?

And you think Oda will go back on his own words so easily (aside from bending the rules somewhat with Sanji/Robin's gliding abilities)? Anyway, I'm actually searching for the source interview right now, so hang onto your hats!
In the meantime, why not also check out the SBS thread? Some interesting info has popped up there.....
Edit: Okay, found the interview in question. And here's the quote in question:
And again, he has bent his own rules since then (we have haki to add on to those "preposterous situations" now, don't we? ), but he hasn't outright forsaken them.....

If sailing the seas is Oda priority, just having one character who can fly doesn't mean the characters won't need ships anymore.
Also the interview itself doesn't mention if the don't fly rule is only for the main characters or the whole OP universe. If the latter he has already violate it.
PS. with Brooks soul seperation ability does that violated his no fly pledge?

i am still sure n convince Monet will join the SH...
Predicting something like this to happen in the next few chapter or at the end of this Arc..
SH manage to corner and Capture CC.....Money regain her cool...put up a stand and try to save CC.....however clearly Injured/OutMatched/Out Numbered....she also said that she will not failed as failure only means death for her...(maybe a cool ass flash back of monet will be shown)......However due to her Injury she collapsed.....and surprisingly Zoro beat Sanji to grab her before she fall.....Next thing u know...Monet wake up in SH ship..having her wounds treated by Chopper....n Luffy promised that he will protect everyone....
Monet will be also a good addition to Monet x Zoro...monet will be the one Chasing after Zoro....thats would be kinda nice to see....Girl chasing a Guy... XD

Sanji could just run over there, maybe carry someone or many over with him.
AND maybe Robin could now too.
I'm sure Luffy could Rocket himself across as well.
There is no longer such a risky situation as jumping down an endless pit to hit a flying train. Heck Chopper could go monster point and chuck them over one by one, lol.
Just saying that flying person doesn't really add much to crew. Sure maybe Sanji doesn't want to run along the sky from one island to another, but I bet a flyer wouldn't want to fly from one island to another as well.

Any way considering her personality she doesn't really fit with the crew, remember she mistreated/experimented on the children never once regretting it. Robin obviously did regret most of her actions. Also she saved Luffy and helped the straw hats a couple of times. Monet never has nor does it look like she ever will (she probably hates Zoro as well).
My money is still on dragon kid.
Perfect Zoro being a bad ass chapter, hope we don't have to wait long for another.
It also appears as though Zoro eclipses Sanji (or Sanji has been holding back a lot).

I ordered last October and paid for a new wunderbee just being released. I requested early May delivery. At this point I would say I am never going to see those bees. I certainly would not advise anyone taking a chance and ordering from them. I certainly will avoid any purchase that is any way attached to the Russell name. If I got those queens tomorrow and they were the finest in the land, it is still too late in the year for me to utilize them in any productive capacity. If I got what I paid for tomorrow, they would just inconvienience me. I won't try to cancel. I am sure the weaselwords on his website about please allow time for delivery cover him well. Those kind of people usually cover themself well if not in glory. I am ashamed that I was taken in and was an advocate and defender of this Ponzi scheme. I apologize to anyone who listened to me. Vance E. Gilbraith
I have not posted on these threads for quite some time.
But I wanted to say, Thank you Vance for your statement. I think all of those who have had less than professional service or no service at all appreciate the honesty of those that have now changed their minds about this company. Sorry about your order.
I guess folks believe what they believe until they see evidence that proves they were not totally correct.
Robherc had put together a single email to Mr. Russell to try to get him to address a lot of the orders that were not delivered. He is not associated with Russells and is just trying to help out. He has not had any resolution though I believe. Even though I still have not received any contact from Russells about the remainder of my order, I am grateful to Rob for trying.
I am in agreement with you, if the queens showed up now it would just be an inconvienence. I would prefer Russells ship any queens they have to someone who can still use them or is in desperate need.
As Rob said to me, "you made statements that you felt were appropriate at the time, and now have made other statements to clarify your new understanding."
Vance, we are just in the same boat.
Thanks again for your post. We understand. No worries.
no one lives near these people? stop by and say hi
I live near them and asked to stop in and visit. I was told I was not welcome.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
Broke-T, I'm just curious, but are you saying you were not welcome to visit or were not welcome to visit again?
I have ten queens orderd for Russell, I have tried to find out when they would be shipped. Like the rest of you no luck. I email from another email address Need queens asap. Well got an email back [ Where are you located? That would help greatly in finding what we have for immediate shipping]. Don't under stand if you can ship 10 immediate Why don't they ship the one I have on order and paid for.
Go to the Russell forum. I among others are stirring the pot and getting: We will fix it immediately reactions! i think they have some internal true believer trying to do a salvage job. I have trouble not buying back in as I am a world famous soft touch. I am out my money for 15 top dollar queens whether I don't get them,or get them in the fall in a drouth. It is sad as I am sure they didn't plan on ending up here. We are all weak vessels.
I went a few round with he this morning. He said they were behind in emails. Four days with out an email when shipping was in the subject line, Six hours when you put need in the subject line. Well four day and counting,
The guy from russell fourm doesn,t have a clue. When you tell me you will have them on this date before I order, Then where my order not there behind.
Wasting your time boys...especially on the RA forum. You'll be ripped about weather, nature, agriculture, you're an idiot for not understanding this, it's your fault the queens aren't there, it's your fault you haven't gotten a refund, it's your fault that all the queens they sent never started laying before the hive killed all of them, it's your fault that the queen showed up DOA in the mail and it's wrong of you to come on "our forum" and bring this stuff up and question anything so go back over to BeeSour and that jerk Barry, etc. BTW, they really do refer to Beesource as BeeSour on the RA forum.....I've got emails directly from them where they told me what day replacement queens would ship and they never showed up. We are among dozens of folks with the same story. They are probably good people but I'm telling you, you're wasting your time. I've stopped posting here, there, sending emails, etc because it was just consuming my time and I was gettting nowhere(just like everyone else)Just move on and chalk it up to "A good ol' fashion Life lesson"

For what it's worth file a claim with the attorney general in their state. This would be a massive federal fraud charge.
On Russell, History they say they have sold bee's to the King of Jordan. Wonder how long it took him to get his bee's
Barry...btw i was not referring to you, personally, as a jerk. it's the message "over there"
Yep, that's why I put quotes within the quote.
Regards, Barry
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Lee, what kind of queen was it?
They were Buckfast queens Beezly.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Thanks Lee!
I am beginning to think as captainfester - there are laws that protect the consumer when doing business over the Internet. I have tried to remain quiet (yes - I paid for product last summer that I have yet to receive) giving RA every benefit of the doubt - but the more I read their business actions are nothing short of fraud.

'Interior of the Horse Armoury', anon engraving, The Penny Magazine, 1836 © Royal Armouries 2013
Figure of William the Conqueror, detail from a watercolour of the Line of Kings. Early 19th century (I.69 )
Wheellock petronel. German, about 1660 (XII.1200)
|Object Provenance:
|German, about 1660
|Object Number:
A representation of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham was added to the Line of Kings in the re-display of 1827.
Following his criticism of the display of historic arms and armour in the Tower of London in his 1824 publication A Critical Inquiry into Antient Armour, Dr Samuel Meyrick had been appointed to oversee this re-display. This included the Line of Kings which was a collection of figures of English Kings since William the Conqueror displayed in suits of armour and on horseback. This collection had first been developed in the mid seventeenth century and it displayed many kings in armour that was not suitable to their time period.
To address this problem Meyrick decided to remove some of the monarchs and add figures of nobles to the line instead. This was not popular with everyone and an article published in The London Magazine in 1827 described the authors and Tower of London warders' 'lamentations over despoiled greatness'.
Nevertheless, the re-display allowed a wider history of the English monarchs to be told and though this was not always explicit in the Tower of London guidebooks, the use of these nobles allowed a greater variety of armour to be displayed and the importance of monarchy to be underlined.
Villiers had been a favourite of James I and was also a favourite of Charles I after James' death. The friendship between Villiers and Charles was not a popular one, as by the time of Charles' succession Villiers was viewed with 'suspicion and even hated among the king's subjects'. Relations with Parliament were further exacerbated when Charles dissolved Parliament to avoid his friend being impeached.
In the Tower of London guidebook of 1827 Villiers is described as the 'unfortunate favourite of Charles I'. This is due to Villiers untimely death in 1627 when he was assassinated in Plymouth by a professional soldier who had served him in Ré, France.
However, as well as representing a loyal courtier who had been assassinated, Villiers is also the first figure in the 1827 re-display of the Line of Kings to be holding a firearm. It is principally this feature that is emphasised in the guidebooks, which describe him 'in the act of spanning a wheel-lock pistol'. By 1842 the description has developed and Villiers is described as in 'A full suit of plate armour. In the left hand of this figure is placed wheel-lock petronel, and in its right the spanner, or instrument to wind up the spring'. The contrast between the plate armour and firearms would have been striking and positioning Villiers in the act of winding the wheel-lock was probably done to provoke thoughts and discussions on the technology of the early firearms.
The representation of George Villiers achieves what many of the other effigies aimed to do from the first Line of Kings display of the 1660s which was to celebrate monarchy and the sovereignty of monarchs. However, Villiers also emphasises the new role of the nineteenth century displays, described begrudgingly – or with tongue in-cheek – by The London Magazine as the 'march of intellect', the Tower displays were designed to translate the history of arms and armour and a progression of design and technology.

On Monday I was lucky enough to attend the James Beard Northwest nominees dinner and tweetup. Yes, tweetup. What's that you ask? In the Twitter lexicon it's the geeky phrase de jour used to describe a real life meet up of Twitter friends. As gatekeeper and main tweeter for Seattlemag.com (@seattlemag), I've followed postings--from food musings (@allisonscheff) to what Lorna Yee is cookin' for dinner (@lornayee)--from a whole gaggle of local food bloggers and writers. The idea of watching these guys eat, tweet and mingle in person was too much for me to resist .
Armed with iPhones, laptops, Blackberries and other handheld devices, I joined a hungry group of local media who swooped into Crush Monday night (James Beard announced their 2009 nominees live via Twitter earlier this spring). Of course, no James Beard tweetup would be complete without a round of several appetizers and champagne. Swarming around the tweet-ready fooderatti were servers and chefs offering teeny sandwiches with hunks of tender beef cut with spicy horseradish and champagne, bright bites of acidic and salty geoduck crudo and more. Appetizers were followed by a course prepped by each of the Northwest's 2009 James Beard nominated chefs (Jason Wilson of Crush, Maria Hines of Tilth, Cathy Whims of Portland's Nostrana, Joseba Jiménez de Jiménez of Harvest Vine and Ethan Stowell of Olives & Anchovies, Union and How to Cook a Wolf) and wine pairings to boot.
As you can imagine, the food, lively banter and wine were HUGE distractions from the task at hand: micro-blogging. More than once, I found myself juggling my phone, a sandwich and drink, all while attempting to mingle with nearby attendees. When we took our seats, the dilemma of tweet v. eat or tweet v. mingle became more pronounced when we were in the rule-drenched world of the dinner table. It only took a few minutes for our real world etiquette to kick in, making live tweets harder and harder to punch out. But the true Twitter roadblock crept into the dining room as the wine began to flow (and the number of tweets became fewer and further in between).
I'm proud to say that I was able to punch out a tweet for each course, along with a few silly observations here and there. But, overall, I'm not sure if the tweeting was a necessary part of the evening of celebration. What was valuable was putting a face to the avatars I'd been following the past few months on Twitter.
As the tweeting dwindled, I think we all came to realize that while pictures of interesting food and witty 140 character posts are amusing there really is no replacement for food, wine and good ol' face-to-face human interaction.
Ethan Stowell's geoduck crudo.
Proof that it is really hard to eat, mingle and tweet: a pic of me eating (crudo
spoon in right hand) tweeting (iPhone in the other) and trying to chat
with non-tweeting Seattle mag writer Ernie Pino. Meanwhile, Ernie--focused
on one thing at a time--smiles for the photog.
Foodies who dared to mingle WITHOUT live tweeting!
First course and Leslie Kelly, former Seattle P-I food writer has her Flip
camera ready to film Stowell as he tells us about the dish.
My favorite snapshot from the evening. Maria Hines takes a sip of Tecate
while cheffin' it in the back. How cool is that?
Thank you to Clare Barboza for the pics. More to come next week.


text: Well I'm stuck with a big debt from Seminary, thought I'd use it to be a pastor and then realized that wasn't for me.... I'm actually considering getting an MBA. My job offers 5,000 a year in tuition reimbursement. (up to 10,000 if you get a manager's approval)... I could get a designation in the field I'm in at my job. But since I "just started" in this field, I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about it.. My place of employment is a huge conglomerate so there are opportunities to move into completely other fields besides the field I'm in... So I'm thinking of taking a couple of business classes/MBA would be a good idea because it is useful where ever. My only question is online vs real school. Real school sounds like it will be treated better. However its not like I have a top program ten minutes away, and no way will I quit my current job to go into a full time program. I frankly want to use the degree to move up-where I'm at. And I figure honestly if I were to ever want to change jobs, my experience at the current company I work for would look just as good as the degree I currently have (if I were able to move up there.) If I choose to stay in the current area at my job, I'll get the designation too

Reviews of this property
The apartment in the district of Montmartre was to reach the station well. The district is very interesting, the street full of life. To Sacre Coeur, it is not far and all of our objectives in Paris are having a bit of time to reach by metro. We have felt ourselves very well and we were able to sleep well in the beds. Contact with Sarah was friendly and reliable. So, a successful stay in Paris!
DIe Wohnung im Viertel vom Montmartre war vom Bahnhof gut zu erreichen. Das Viertel ist sehr interessant, die Straße voller Leben. Zum Sacre Coeur ist es nicht weit und alle unsere Ziele in Paris sind mit ein bisschen Zeit mit der Metro gut zu erreichen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wir konnten gut in den Betten schlafen. Der Kontakt mit Sarah war freundlich und zuverlässig. Also, ein gelungener Aufenthalt in Paris!
The apartment wel. Our hostess was friendly (Stephanie). She was a bit nervous because the key did not fit, but it turned out to be a key to another apartment. Everything worked out. Area (with its French charm of "deferred maintenance") is nearby Sacre Ceur within walking distance. Neighborhood itself: bakery on the corner (delicious bread). Neighborhood with many dark people which on one side has its charm, on the other evening was exciting decline. Had no problems hearing even bothered one time. More feeling. Two nights were great. Paris is beautiful, good, touristy, magical, rich and poor, subway, good food, fun, music, overwhelming etc.
het appartement is prima vertoeven. Onze gastvrouw is vriendelijk (Stephanie). Ze was wat zenuwachtig omdat de sleutel niet paste, maar het bleek een sleutel van een ander appartement te zijn. Alles goedgekomen. Buurt (met zijn charme van Frans "achterstallig onderhoud"), is vlakbij Sacre Ceur, op loopafstand. Buurt zelf: bakkerij op de hoek (lekker brood). Buurt met veel donkere mensen wat aan de ene kant zijn charme heeft, aan de andere kant 's avonds spannend teruglopen was. Helemaal geen problemen gehad hoor, ook niet 1 keer lastiggevallen. Meer het gevoel. Twee avonden waren geweldig. Parijs is mooi, goed, toeristisch, magisch, arm en rijk, metro, lekker eten, gezellig, muziek, overweldigend etc.
Reception and apartment fine. Neighborhood is bad. Daytime is still there, but definitely not recommended for evening in the dark to walk to the apartment. In short, the evening will still take drink do not first choice. We have to move to the first night hotel in Latin Quarter, lot more relaxed.
Ontvangst en appartement prima in orde. Buurt is slecht. Overdag gaat nog wel maar zeker geen aanrader om 's avonds in het donker naar het appartement te moeten lopen. Kortom, 's avonds laat nog even drankje doen is niet eerste keuze. We zijn naar eerste nacht verhuist naar hotel in Quartier Latin, stuk gemoedelijker.
bad location without lift home district very dirty ultimately not worth the amount requested x wimdu finally take away your beautiful voice is not apropriato.
posizione pessima casa senza ascensore quartiere molto sporco infine non vale la somma richiesta infine x wimdu tolga la voce splendido non è apropriato.
We had a pleasant stay in Paris in the home of Sarah. We were well received t'rès
The accommodation is in the back yard so very quiet, no noise from neighbors.
The accommodation is in the fourth without elevator that makes exercise.
Thank you again for the welcome and comfort of the apartment
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Paris dans le logement de Sarah. Nous y avons été t'rès bien accueilli
Le logement est en arrière cour donc très calme, pas de bruit de voisinage.
Le logement est au quatrième sans ascenseur ce qui fait faire de l'exercice.
Merci encore pour l'accueil et le confort de l'appartement
perfect apartment, very good location three minutes from the metro. Supermarket in the street and bakery next door. very quiet and sunny apartment, with everything you need to stay, good beds with mattress, sheets and towels.
Sandra was waiting for us on arrival and were very nice and helpful.
If we return to Paris we will go back to the apartment.
apartamento perfecto, muy buena ubicación a tres minutos del metro. Supermercado en la acera de enfrente y panadería al lado. apartamento muy tranquilo y soleado, con todo lo necesario para la estancia, camas con colchón bueno, sabanas y toallas incluidas.
Sandra nos estaba esperando a la llegada como quedamos, muy agradable y servicial.
Si volvemos a Paris iremos de nuevo al apartamento.
2 small pieces very well designed and bright 4th in a courtyard so not noisy
in a rather lively, bedding bed 2 places is good, we had a problem with the shower and it was repaired in the day without binding us in the apartment, it lacks a small lamp for reading at night, fruit and grocery bakery opposite. séjourpour Good 3 people.
petit 2 piéces très bien conçu et lumineux au 4ème dans une cour donc pas bruyant
dans un quartier plutôt animé, la literie du lit 2 places est de qualité, nous avons eu un problème avec la douche et ça a été réparé dans la journée sans nous coincer dans l'appart, il manque une petite lampe pour lire le soir,épicerie fruits et boulangerie juste en face .Bon séjourpour 3 personnes.
The flat was perfect for three of us, staying in Paris meant we only slept there and it was clean and functional and despite being in a busy apartment block was surprisingly very quiet- the bed and sofa bed were both very comfortable!
Sandra was there to welcome us and she was very friendly making us feel welcome and showed us where to find everything.
For the price I would definitely stay here again and recommend friends to stay here- 2 minute walk from the Metro and 5 minute walk to Montmartre.
The only issue was on arrival we could not get into the building- its a big block and there are no apartment numbers and we couldn't speak French- make sure you ask Sarah before you arrive for the apartment number as we had to wait outside until a lovely French man helped us!
A perfect weekend away and a lovely stay we will be back.
Thanks for the lovely accommodation. Unfortunately, there was initially some problems, as Sarah's friend had believed that we get only two hours later. For this reason, the apartment was not ready and prepared for bed linen & towels not too dry. We had the whole weekend a drying rack in the apartment are with wet laundry. Opposite the apartment is a supermarket right around the corner and two boulangeries, in the evening one fears as a woman but because of the road audience something.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Unterkunft. Leider gab es anfangs etwas Probleme, da Sarah's Freundin angenommen hatte, dass wir erst 2 Stunden später kommen. Aus diesem Grund war die Wohnung noch nicht fertig vorbereitet und die Bettwäsche & Handtücher auch nicht trocken. Wir hatten das ganze Wochenende einen Wäscheständer in der Wohnung stehen mit nasser Wäsche. Gegenüber der Wohnung ist direkt ein Supermarkt und um die Ecke zwei Boulangerien, abends fürchtet man sich als Frau jedoch aufgrund des Straßenpublikums etwas.
What can we tell you about our stay in this apartment.
To be honest, we would not advice it to you.
If you are in two, for the money spent, you could easily stay in a hotel.
Should you be in four, okay maybe than you have a good price.
The apartment is very poorly furnished and decorated. Most of the electric plugs did not work….
And we found out there was no central heating, just a small, portable electric heating.
The heating in the bathroom did not work also.
To use the toilet you kind of have to push yourself between the washing machine (why would you need a washing machine in this apartment??) and a wooden cupboard. Not nice…..
When we arrived, there was a clotheshorse in the middle of the room, with wet sheets hanging on them. What a welcome!!!
It is on the 4th floor of an old building in the middle what my friend and I called 'black Africa'.
We were a little bit afraid to come home late at night.
O.k., true is a few steps from the Montmartre quarter and the Sacre Coeur. Also the apartment is close to the Metro.
But the area is really filthy(dirty) and not 'French' at all.
Also we were not very happy about the contact with our host Sarah. After we booked we sent a mail asking if the linen and towels were included. No reply…. Then about a week before arriving we sent another mail, to make an appointment on how to get the key. No reply….
We had to write to Wimdu, in order to get a reaction of our host. And only after that she replied.
Was there than nothing nice? Yes, there was. We were received in the apartment by Sandra who was very kind with us. She explained a bit and answered any question we had. She did not ask us the caution as she said she trusted us. But secretly we felt, she just did not want to come back Monday morning to give it back to us.
Another positive thing is that the apartment was very, very quiet. No noise what so ever!
So, we slept well.
However, the two of us did have a very good time in Paris.
Paris is Paris and wonderful as ever!
Should you book this apartment, just sleep there and go out and enjoy the city!!!

Since it was a very nice holiday weekend, as well as the last weekend of summer for Chicago, the city was absolutely heaving with people. There were tons of activities going on including street fairs, art shows and festivals all over. Thankfully, Antonio knows the city like the back of his hand and we were probably able to see and do more in two days than most people do in a week! We would have never been able to figure out the walking, buses, trains and underground in such a short time without him
Chicago is huge (over 3 million people), so after arriving at about 3pm on Saturday, Antonio quickly had us out and about to see the best parts of his city...we took in the Sears Tower, 505 Lake Shore Drive (where Oprah has an entire floor) the new Trump Bldg, Navy Pier, the beaches along Lake Michigan and some of the amazing architecture.
We must have walked 50 miles on Saturday afternoon! The ferry ride to Navy Pier was a welcome break and showed off the Chicago Skyline. We had dinner on the pier at a Chicago Style BBQ joint, listening to live Jazz and Blues music. We hit the bars for drinks soon after and did not make it back to the Eagle until 4am. We slept in late but managed to be back in this fantastic city for dinner at one of Antonio's favorite restaurants. We decided we had not had enough Alcohol so we set out to the bars again!!
Thanks again Antonio we would not seen half of what we did without you, and of course your hilarious way of presenting things made it a truly memorable weekend.

We have had a nice stay in Budapest. The flat / location was nice and perfect.
Thank you!
The apartment is excellent: a quiet place, nice furniture and atmosphere, fully equipped with everything in good quality and well-connected to airport, metro etc.
The owner is very attentive and helpful, too, everything smoothly organized.
We indeed had a very nice time in Budapest!
Very nice appartment, absolutely clean, and provided with full modern equipment. Just a little misunderstanding in the reservation (it can actually host up to 4 people, as it didn't seem completely clear for me on Wimdu website), but overall a very pleasant experience. And the roof top is very cool after a full day of visits and walking. I recommend
The apartment is very nice - according to the Pictures provided. Gabor

apartment is very centrally located - right next to the Metro, 2 stops

roof terrace.
We were 3 ladies and have felt very comfortable in Budapest and this Apartment.
We hope to visit Budapest soon.
The apartment was excellent, on a good spot and only a short way to metro stations, shops and restaurants. The host was very helpful and polite, I will definitely recommend this experience to my friends and hopefully someday I will travel to Budapest again. I rate the whole thing 5 stars!

MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
San Francisco 49er Aldon Smith was arrested in Miami Beach Friday night and booked into the local jail on DUI charges, according to information from the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department website.
According to records, the 23-year-old rookie linebacker was booked into jail at 9:32 a.m. EST Saturday morning after being charged with driving under the influence. The bond amount listed was $1,000.
As a sophomore at the University of Missouri, Smith was drafted by the 49ers during the 2011 NFL Draft as the seventh overall draft pick. During his first season with the team, he registered 14 sacks, a franchise record for a rookie linebacker. He also ranked 1st in the NFL in sacks among rookies and was one sack short of breaking the NFLs record for sacks by a rookie.
KTVU.com will provide more details when they become available.

UTSA Honors College students intern in D.C.
By Cindy Brockwell
Student Affairs Development Assistant
(Aug. 9, 2006)--You may remember heading back to school as a kid after a long, lazy summer. Your mind was still on hanging out at the mall, or baseball, or a trip to the coast, or maybe playing hop scotch, depending on your age.
Chances are, at some point, your first assignment from an English teacher was to write an essay on what you did over the summer. For many of us, there wasn't much to write about--we had no money, and we hung out with our friends--period.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

Two talented UTSA Honors College students will have much more to talk about when they return in August. They were among the fortunate 10 to intern this summer with the American Medical Students' Association (AMSA) in Reston, Virginia--just outside Washington, D.C. The other undergraduate students participating in the program came from Duke University, University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Richmond.
Wanda Casillas, a senior Psychology major, and Mitra Miri, a senior Biology major, spent a part of their summers interning with the legislative affairs director for the American Medical Students Association.
For El Paso native Wanda Casillas, who will graduate from UTSA in December, the AMSA Health Policy Internship was a real eye-opener on the legislative process. "I really enjoyed having an intimate perspective on how policy is introduced, created, or lobbied for or against," she said. "I think that prior to this internship, I was a little naïve about the policy-making process."
And while Wanda wasn't a fat-cat, cigar-smoking, highly paid lobbyist, she did have an opportunity to meet Senators and House members from Ohio during a legislative reception.
Whatever her preconception of lobbyists was, she was hooked. "I am absolutely convinced that I want to be directly involved in lobbying for healthcare and education reform as my career unfolds," Wanda said. "AMSA taught me about the feasibility of making a difference on issues that are important to me."
While in D.C., Wanda's internship included researching the legislative agenda for AMSA for 2006-2007. She researched current and upcoming bills related to healthcare policy, researched AMSA's position on past bills, and compiled reports on issues of importance to AMSA members.
Wanda is clear on her plans after graduation and wants to charter schools with curriculums rooted in current psychological theories of cognition. She added that she is also interested in continuing to advocate for healthcare reform, specifically mental healthcare reform.
After her four-week internship with AMSA, Wanda traveled to Ithaca, New York, for a second internship--this time at Cornell University. She explained, "I am working with a psychologist who helped to develop a new theory that underscores the cognitive process of rational decision-making."
Mitra Miri, also completed two internships this summer, moving on to Harvard after completing her AMSA internship in D.C. Mitra was so busy at Harvard that she didn't have an opportunity to talk with us.
UTSA's Honors College encourages students to work in their fields prior to graduation, and students may earn credit for honors internship experiences.
Just before the spring semester started, Dr. Ann Eisenberg, Associate Dean of the Honors College, received a phone call from Catherine Pollock, then-president of the Medical Students' Association at UTHSC-SA. In response to Hurricane Katrina and other events, Ms. Pollock was hoping to conduct a research project on the use of medical students in disaster relief. She wanted to develop a policy document, and she hoped that some bright UTSA undergrads might want to help with the research.
Seven Honors College students rose to the challenge. In addition to the two students mentioned previously, Jackie Adams, (junior, Psychology), Keith Joseph (senior, Biology), Cathy Ly (sophomore, Biology), Chris McColskey (sophomore, Biology) and Amanda Poplawsky (senior, Sociology and Anthropology) volunteered to work with Ms. Pollock, who later was offered the legislative affairs director position with AMSA.
One thing is clear: when it comes to summer internships, UTSA's slogan "Come here. Go far." takes on a whole new meaning.

While we're all waiting for that hotly anticipated Saints Row: The Third review, it's easy to forget that Volition Inc. has something else coming to market -- the official Saints Row: The Third Dildo Baseball Bat.
Fortunately, Destructoid got its hands on what may be the biggest consumer product this holiday season. We took it for a test drive and are proud to reveal this exclusive review! If you're buying any other combination of sports club and external arousal implement, you're definitely getting shafted!
Manufacturer: Volition Inc.
Publisher: THQ
Released: TBD
Whether your trusty old baseball bat is ready for retirement or your tired and clammy dildo needs replacing, Volition Inc. has you covered with the Saints Row: The Third Dildo Baseball Bat. Built with durability and long-term use in mind, you'll be laughing at the savings whether you're smashing balls in the park with your son or smashing your vagina to pieces while watching The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1!
Thanks to the smooth ergonomic design and carefully regulated coating of Polymer Rubber Substitute, the Saints Row Dildo Bat provides a level of comfort and flexibility hitherto unseen in any other baseball bat/artificial penis. I was impressed by just how good this feels to use. It's been intuitively designed so that even a novice can get to grips with it in seconds, featuring a very simple handle-based interface that should be familiar to most users.
The handle itself has a particularly satisfying level of friction and comfort, thanks to the Scientific Flexi-Wrap applied to a rigid base of luxury wood. The contours improve grip ratio while the tactile-oriented neo matte finish keeps even the sweatiest of palms from slipping.
Having a good handle on any baseball dick is paramount, as experts in the field will tell you 67% of the time. Unfortunately, most manufacturers focus only on the glamour portions of their devices and neglect this mundane-yet-crucial part of the experience. Volition went the extra mile on its piece and deserves applause in an industry that's far too quick to stampede toward the penis without taking care of the fundamentals.
Make no mistake, however -- Volition has not skimped on the detail.
Putting its legendary creative sensibilities to fantastic use with an artisan level of design. The testicles feature hand-crafted creases to create that "just-like-real-sac" feeling that consumers have come to demand over the years, with a central groove to neatly define each individual bollock. These medically accurate representations of authentic gonads will delight even the most discerning of fans, making this a perfect gift for those who believe that the devil is in the details.
The elegant detailing continues up through the device's premium shaft, featuring a prominent central vein that many fans will recognize from seeing pictures of actual penises in their day-to-day lives. The entire package is complimented by a sleek and aerodynamic glans situated at the distal end of the corpora cavernosa. While it is unfortunate that a complimentary meatus has been excluded from the final product, the Dildo Bat nonetheless features a beautifully designed crown, shaped to please and providing a significant amount of heft in the finished article, so you can really hit those home runs!
All told, it's given me a great amount of pleasure to be able to review the Dildo Bat for you. However, there are of course a few negative aspects that must be addressed. Firstly, the smell -- it stinks like Laffy Taffy. While this won't be a problem for customers exclusively utilizing the item as a sporting implement, those who wish to make full use of its features may feel put off by the overwhelming aroma of goof-themed boiled sugar in something they intend to place within one of several personal openings.
The color is also a boner of contention. While I personally appreciate the purple tone, one does occasionally think of Grimace's throbbing plonker while studying it for too long. I don't need to tell you that overt sexual thoughts concerning a McDonald's villain-turned-mascot have been a bit of a controversial issue in North America -- especially lately -- and this could be a huge dealbreaker for some users.
Despite these setbacks, the Saints Row: The Third Dildo Baseball Bat is still one of the most flexible and worthwhile investments a family could make. Thanks to its versatile application at work and home, the Dildo Bat is a brilliant investment that finally puts an end to the need to replace ordinary baseball bats and sex toys -- often considered one of the greatest causes of financial strain in the West.
In short, this is a highly recommended piece, and one that you should definitely pass up on. It should be available in Walmart, Target and Toys R Us in the near future, so keep a look out!

Baths - Pop Song (new song!)
Bummersville, USA. That's where I was living last weekend as I missed out on Baths final CMJ show at Glasslands in Brooklyn, but frowns are turning upside down today because the gentle gentleman from Chatsworth, CA is still kicking it in our hood, holed up in his temporary place of residence, making new tunes. We'll gladly take that as a consolation prize any day of the week.
From his words, via Facebook, straight from awesometown: "♥ ♥ NEW SONG ♥ ♥ totally sketch thing that i did last night in the apartment where I'm staying in brooklyn. super pop + super simple, hence the title. enjoy :D"
He's right. Except for the sketch part. I'd substitute that with sublime.

On Monday, State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling struck down New York City's ban on big sugary drinks just hours before it was supposed to take effect. The law would have banned the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16 oz. at New York restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters.
Tingling said the ban would have left people with many other ways to consume sugary drinks. "The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule," he wrote.
Although the ban was widely supported by health professionals, it was not popular with food retailers or many city residents. They asked, why single out sugared sodas, when there are many reasons why people are overweight? And if sugared beverages are being targeted, why not take stronger measures against other sources of sugar, such as candy and other sweets?
The American Beverage Association (ABA) and other opponents of the rule supported the judge's decision. "The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this unpopular ban," an ABA spokesperson said.
Health in the Big Apple
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg led the ban on large drinks. He aimed to cut obesity rates in the U.S., where at least two-thirds of American adults are considered overweight. Bloomberg says the city will appeal the judge's decision. "We believe the judge is totally in error in how he interpreted the law, and we are confident we will win on appeal," Bloomberg said.
More than half of New York City adults and nearly 40 percent of the city's public elementary and middle school students are considered overweight.
New York City's Board of Health members believe that banning mega-sized drinks is an important step toward helping consumers not only to drink fewer calories, but may also encourage people to make other healthy changes to their diet. The board reviewed data showing that sugared drinks make up 43 percent of the added sugar in the average American diet. Now, with big drinks back on store shelves, New Yorkers will make their own choices about how to stay healthy.
What do you think? Should the government ban large sugary drinks to help consumers make healthier choices? Or should people be allowed make their own choices about beverage size? Vote in the TFK poll below!

Famous cartoonist and scathing critic of Syria's Ba'athist regime, Ali Ferzat, has been plucked off the streets of Damascus and badly beaten in an attack blamed on security forces and militiamen loyal to president Bashar al-Assad. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, but the attack appears to be an attempt to get the prizewinning satirist to sheath his weapon of choice and to silence this voice. Support for Ferzat has been pouring in via his website, his own Facebook page, a Facebook supporter page, and on Twitter.

Masked Syrian security force members and masked pro-regime Shabeeha (thugs) militiamen grabbed Ali Ferzat at the capital's Ummayad Square while he was returning home by car at 4:30 am, said the Local Coordination Committees, which organizes activists on the ground. "The attackers stole the contents of his briefcase, including his drawings and other personal belongings," the LCC's Omar Idlbi said in a statement. "He was beaten hard, notably on his hands. Passersby found him on the road to the airport and he was taken to hospital," he said.

"Who says Vegans can't eat just as well as everyone else! Death by chocolate!!I used 2 tbsp regular soy milk (it's sweet enough without the extra vanilla) and cut the sugar to 1/3 cup. Oh and used 8oz of Tofu.SO GOOD"
