Something magical happened in Cynthiana last Friday night. If we had stopped to think about it, we most definitely would not have predicted magic, but prediction or not there it was.
We live in Cynthiana, a quiet little town, so most of the time when we want a fun night out, we get in the car and drive somewhere else. But last Friday and Saturday driving anywhere else was totally unnecessary.
To the editor:
In last week's Cynthiana Democrat I read a letter written on behalf of Mark Mattmiller. The letter mentions an online poll that a local radio station announced Mattmiller as the winner. I can't see how this shows a true sampling of the residence of Cynthiana since so very few even knew about it.
As the November election draws nearer, I find it overwhelming when considering my personal voting decisions. Among the list of capable individuals running for city commissioner, there is one candidate in which I can gladly cast my vote with complete confidence. Roger Slade gets my vote.
I was wondering if there was going to be a debate this election. And if not, why? There has been a debate in our past election years. I feel it would benefit all voters to have a debate so we can hear first hand what the issues are that each person is concerned with and how they plan on doing for our town.

One day last week I was at the market buying bananas, broccoli slaw and Vidalia onions and when the kid bagging my groceries asked, "How are you today?" I told him, "I'm so hungry I could eat my arm."
We both laughed and then when I got to my car I gobbled a banana in about three bites because, frankly, my arm was looking pretty tasty.
At Landmark Community Newspapers, Inc., Shelbyville, KY (which I serve as postal consultant after retiring in 2008 from a 35-year career), when we face tough economic times, we have to make tough decisions. But ultimately, our goal is to grow our business by providing services that consumers want and need at competitive prices.
When our business grows, so do jobs. If we do business right, our customers grow with us. In the end, making the right choices is right for the economy, jobs and our businesses.
Under bright, sunny skies, the ninth annual Rev. Ross Bike Race took place. A good crowd was on hand to provide encouragement for the competitors. The day's events concluded with spectators and contestants enjoying some water balloon tossing.
The results for the race were as follows:
On an evening stroll with my husband and dog last week, I was admiring the progress of several projects at Flat Run Veterans Park.
Playground equipment beckons small children to the center of the park.
The unique earth-bag structure, sponsored by the Cynthiana Rotary Club, has walls.
The presence of heavy equipment and long lines of trenches indicates a sewer line will soon be completed for the new Farmers Market building.
But among all the progress, destruction slapped me in the face.
A new dish tops the menu at this year's Kentucky State Fair.
Meet the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger.
Think of a regular cheeseburger. Now, take off the bun and replace it with a Krispy Kreme glazed donut on the top and bottom.
And it's not just Kentuckians buying the 1,000-calorie-loaded concoction.
At the Wisconsin State Fair earlier this month, patrons could not only buy the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger, they could also pay an extra dollar to top it off with chocolate-covered bacon.
I like donuts.
I like hamburgers.
As I was on my knees one Saturday afternoon, I had an epiphany.
Lest you think I was on my knees praying, I wasn't, although Lord knows I should have been. And it wasn't so much an epiphany as it was a random thought.
My husband and I were painting, he up on a ladder, me on my knees with a brush painting the bottom of the walls along the edging.
On the last weekend of August, we joined almost 100 Kentuckians from Lexington (12 buses altogether from Kentucky), on a trip to Washington DC to attend the Glenn Beck "Restore Honor" rally at the Lincoln Monument. It coincided with the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech at the same location.
An elderly man walked into my office several years ago demanding that I tell him why I would print his grandson's DUI in the paper.
I hadn't been editor long, but I knew the answer.
"It's public record," I said. "We print records without exception."
He leaned into my desk from where he towered above me, pointed his finger in my face and declared... "This place ain't nothin' that a can of gas and match wouldn't take care of."
On a dark and cloudless Saturday night, while participating in a glow ball golf tournament at the Cynthiana Country Club, I started counting my many blessings:
It was dark.
No one had a camera.
My foursome was made up of family.
I didn't need an ambulance to carry me off the course.
And, it was blessedly, totally, undeniably dark.
OK. This is the story I'm going with and sticking to.
In honor and memory of Apollo.
In response to the "rumors and gossip" column in the Aug. 19 edition of the Democrat, I feel it is time to get "just the facts." There is a laundry list of "facts" which cannot be ignored or swept under the rug as the column reported.
Lately I've been fascinated by stories of people who grew up in church and now have abandoned the denominations of their youth, and sometimes church altogether.
In a very funny memoir, "Mennonite in a Little Black Dress," Rhoda Janzen writes about having to wear frumpy skirts, granny panties and doilies on her head and eating lots of potatoes.
It won't be long before we'll be back in a voting booth this November.
Several state, county and city positions will be on this year's ballot, including seats for our state senator, state representative, county judge-executive, magistrates, mayor and city commission.
To say it's an important election would be an understatement.
And so, here at The Cynthiana Democrat, we want your help.
In local elections such as the upcoming one this fall, no one knows the candidates better than those of us who live, work and play beside them.

ChoiceDek is a composite material made of recycled plastic and recycled wood. It is nearly impervious to moisture, CAN be painted, but does not require any sealer, etc. Readily available at your local Lowes.
Has anyone considered building hive bodies, etc from this? Granted, it's just under 1/2" thick if you buy the planks, so you would need to adjust your dimensions accordingly. I thought of doubling it up on the end pieces with the inner panel cut shorter to form the frame rest.
In theory, this would create a hive body that would never need repainted, and would never rot. With PermaComb, you could nearly have a complete hive that would be dang-near dishwasher safe!
The potential downside would be that it won't wick humidity away, but if you paint your hive bodies inside and out, it's not doing that anyway.
Any thoughts (especially show stoppers) before I consider building me a couple of honey supers to use with some PermaComb this year?

"Non-Stick" - what to expect
Hi Jamie & All,
Am i the only one having trouble with non-stick kitchenware??
I have tried several brand/products (yes also Tefal) with
the same result - the coating starts to cracks, after 1/2 a years of use.
I have been told - that i use to much heat, but i don't feel that i use
that much heat. I use induction and never preheat since i been told that this
will harm the kitchenware (hmmmm)
When viewing you (Jamie) using gas, i would imagien that your kitchenware (with nonstick) last for 2 days max....
So,,,Jamie what is your secret????
Others please feel free to comment on this if you also know the "big secret"
Kind Regards

Re: "Non-Stick" - what to expect
I avoid non-stick for the problems you have mentioned, with the exception of one 10" frying pan which I use for eggs and crepes.
As for the falling apart of the surface, a few ideas:
1: If you are using metal, or other abrasive / sharp utensils in the pan they may damage the Teflon coating.
2: Certain foods/methods of cooking are not well suited to non-stick cookware. I for one would never sear meat in it because by the time the pan is hot enough to make Maillard do its thing the surface is at dangerous levels, especially if you have exotic birds as pets
3: I have found that the more expensive non stick items, t-fal, all clad, viking and the like are not worth the money as the surface tends to be nubbed, making things like omelets not work, and the cost to longevity ratio is horrible. Most non stick pans will need replacing every 2 years or so, at most.
Thus my advice to you would be to go to the nearest catering / restaurant supply shop and get yourself one of the non-sticks they stock their. The brand is not what makes the difference in these pans, its the care taken with the surface and making sure the methods used don't get the pan over 350 (F) at any point
I hope that was of some help...it seems rather rambling now that I'm done with it... WTM

Re: "Non-Stick" - what to expect
every 6-10 uses i wam them up, then rub with veg oil to give fine film of oil on. this tends to do a decent job at maintaining the non stick prop. also NO METAL utensils within a zillion miles. i pre heat but not too hot, just enough to sizzle.

Re: "Non-Stick" - what to expect
You may get cuts in the teflon coating that you cannot see at first, these may weaken the coating causing it to spilt. I've had a tefal pan (on sale and not a jamie one) for about two years and it's now got a cut to the metal in the coating. It will degrade from here but I'm hoping for another year if we treat it well (it only cost me 85 cents - after using a gift voucher). I think it got damaged by either being in contact with other pots or metal utensils.
Non-stick coatings are coatings, they are never going to have the robustness of a metal or anodised pan because those things are solid materials not a thin layer spread over another surface. The technology will get better but I doubt you'll see a non-stick coating lasting 50 or more years. I think you'd be lucky with 5.

Re: "Non-Stick" - what to expect
I just bought a pan from Tefal..afcourse it's by Jamie Oliver! Actually I remember that I had a smaller one too (simpel), and it was terrible. All that teflon came off and I threw it away, but I am really satisfied with my new one

Re: "Non-Stick" - what to expect
another thing to note, not all non-stick surfaces are the same. There are different formulations on the market and the really cheap ones may not be as good.

A MarcMorris is a complicated specimen. It thrives on reciting movie quotes, using illegal substances, and listening to rap music. But underneath a MarcMorris' tough exterior, there's an inner poet that needs to be let out, a visionary who feels the need to go to the movie theatres alone to experience all a feature film has to offer. Everyone has a little of MarcMorris in they're spirit, and we all should strive for the perfections that it has acheived over its 20 years.
When you're feeling down, nothing cheers me up like some holiday spirit from your local friendly MarcMorris.

A geodesist remembers Paul Dirac's visit to the University of Hawaii Lunar Laser Ranging Observatory
William E. Carter
The next day we had planned a lunch for the Diracs and the entire Waiakoa staff at the Kula Lodge, which was only a few hundred yards down Upper Kula Road from the inn. Dirac was seated at one end of a long table, with Don Landman at his left and me at his right. Margit Dirac was seated at the far end of the table with Marilyn, our secretary and a few other wives (all of the scientists and technicians on the Maui staff were men at that time). Landman and Don Mickey, another solar astronomer, brought copies of one of Dirac's books and asked him to sign them, which he did with a smile.
After everyone had eaten enough to take the edge off of their hunger, Landman turned his attention to physics. He and Dirac embarked on a wide-ranging discussion, including solar physics and the current focus of research at the University of Hawaii's Mees Solar observatory. These topics were outside my area of knowledge, so I listened and tried to follow the gist of things but had nothing to add to the conversation. Then Landman changed his focus to Dirac's work on cosmology.
From the little that I had read on the subject, I remembered that Dirac's study of such fundamental constants as Newton's gravitational constant, Planck's constant, the speed of light and the charge and masses of the electron and proton had led him to assign cosmological significance to a set of very large dimensionless numbers formed as the ratios of pairs of the constants. Years later I happened to read a 1993 Scientific American article about Dirac, written by R. Coby Hovis and Hedge Kragh, elaborating on these concepts further. The authors wrote:
The ratio of the electric force between a proton and electron to the gravitational force between the same two particles is a very large number, about 1039. Curiously, Dirac noted, this number approximates the age of the universe (as then estimated) when that age is expressed in terms of an appropriate unit of time, such as the time needed for light to cross the diameter of a classical electron.
From this and other correlations he found between large pure numbers, Dirac postulated a new cosmological principle, the Large Number Hypothesis. It has not been supported by recent work, but Dirac was devoted to it.
After discussing this subject with Landman for several minutes, Dirac turned to me and said, "You have been very quiet, Bill. What do you think of the Large Number Hypothesis?"
"Sorry, I've been trying to follow your discussion, but I really don't know enough about cosmology to have anything useful to contribute."
"But part of the beauty of the hypothesis is its very simplicity. You surely must have some initial reaction, and I would be pleased if you would share it with us."
After taking a couple of seconds to consider how candid I should be, I blurted out, "To be perfectly honest, it sounds more like astrology than astrophysics to me."
Landman cringed. "Bill, that was rude. I think you owe Professor Dirac an apology."
"Sorry, I did not mean to be impolite, but Professor Dirac asked for my initial reaction, and that is in fact my initial reaction."
"Quite right," Dirac said. "I did ask for your initial reaction, and I must say, I fully understand your thoughts. I admit to having had similar thoughts from time to time. But do you not agree that the existence in nature of these very large dimensionless numbers, all of nearly the same order of magnitude, must be more than pure coincidence?"
"Sorry, but I'm a geodesist, and I have all that I can handle trying to get enough photons to and from the Moon to measure its distance from Earth at any given time. I must confess that I don't even fully understand the differences between Albert Einstein's and Bob Dicke's versions of the physics that some of my colleagues on the LURE team hope to settle based on the rate of lunar recession derived from our observations."
"Ah, yes. Well, that is a subject that I hoped to discuss with you during my visit…."
Later that afternoon, Marilyn and I took the Diracs to the airport to catch a flight back to Honolulu. As Father Dirac checked their baggage and obtained their boarding passes, Margit very graciously thanked Marilyn and me for our hospitality, and particularly for the high point of their visit, the evening they spent with our family. She said that it had been simply wonderful to see Father so enthralled with our children, reading books with Pamela at his side. She only wished that she had a picture of the pair of them.

having a motorcycle so leaned over in a turn your knees scrape the pavement
all kneedragger ride gixxers
by jah April 30, 2003
A person that rides a motorcycle, particularly on a race track, that is able to turn in such a way, and at such a velocity, at such a low height, that their knee drags against the ground.
Casey Stoner, a professional MotoGP racer, is able to drag a knee through his turns. This is an example of a knee dragger.
by JoeMamaa March 27, 2013
People who use telemark skis in which the heel is free from the binding as opposed to downhill skiing with which the heel is locked into the binding. Thus, these types of skiers have to drag there knee on the ground to make the tight turns which come so easily to the downhill skier.

Town Square
Using Google Earth to visualise the Oak Grove project
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Dec 10, 2007
I think the photos being taken by various folks from the ground only give half the story. Using Google Earth allows you to fly up above the area and look around.
I took a graphic from the developer's website and overlaid it upon the area so it is easier to get an idea of the development plan. The red lines are the hiking trails. The white line encompasses the entire Oak Grove property. I didn't get to it yet, but the southern most border of the Oak Grove property is the same line as both the Pleasanton and County Urban Growth Limit line. The peaks and primary ridgelines of the SE hills lie outside of this border.
I put placemarkers at certain areas to get an idea of the height around the area. The elevation in Google Earth is "mean sea level". For example, the elevation of the land at Stanley Blvd is about 350 ft above MSL and the highest Oak Grove lot is 790 ft. Subtracting those numbers means that if you stand at Stanley Blvd and look up, the highest Oak Grove lot is about 440 ft above you and the highest Kottinger Ranch lot is 396 ft above you. Not a big difference.
For comparison, the top peak in the Pleasanton Ridge area is over 2000 ft above MSL (practically twice the height of the peaks in the SE hills).

I was not sure were this area was. Thanks for the info. Now I know what this is all about and feel that I was right in supporting the cities decision on this project. Be sure and post this again when the pubic is asked to vote.
You will always have people who are no-growther's no matter what. Winding back the clock, I wish we had built on the hills only and left all of this flat land in agriculture. Image all of the hops, wheat, corn and fruit trees! 8^)

I like your idea about keeping the flat land for agriculture. That would have been really cool. I would love to run my own brewery with home-grown hops. I'd have a plot of land off of Hopyard.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Snow's the last thing you need after the storm. Stay safe over there
Supporting the Giants from Scotland
It would have been really awkward if the philly game was this week instead of PIT. Both teams fanbases would be more worried about restoring power than the game, and there wouldn't be enough vitriol for it to be a NYG-PHI game...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
We regained power Friday. Sadly, I am still one of the only people I know who has power in this part of NJ so I am very fortunate all things considered. A few of my friends/family members are expecting to be out another 10+ days.
Interestingly enough in North Jersey we didn't have the flooding problems that many south of us had, in fact we barely had any rain whatsoever. Instead, we are facing problems caused by near 100 mph wind gusts that met an abundance of trees, many of which still had leaves on them.
Fallen power lines, and trees everywhere.

el anfitron muy maja ya que nos ayudo en todo lo possible .
Sin duda alguna, YO VOLVERIA!
As did not work when I arrived TV and Wi-Fi, I was allowed to move to another apartment. This was bigger and very nicely decorated with a fireplace, radiators, modern kitchen and a nice bathroom. The apartment on the ground floor in need of renovation - mainly the bathroom - so you can really feel at ease.
Da bei meiner Ankunft TV und WLAN nicht funktionierten, durfte ich in ein anderes Appartement umziehen. Dieses war größer und sehr schön eingerichtet mit Kaminofen, Heizkörpern, moderner Küche und schönem Bad. Das Appartement im EG bedarf einer Renovierung - hauptsächlich das Bad - sodass man sich wirklich wohl fühlen kann.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you

Hi Everyone,
Installed my first ever package of bees two weeks ago. Everything went according to plans and the bees seem very happy.
The very next day I was talking to an experienced beekeeper and he mentioned that I should have at least two hives.
I kind of knew this but I decided to take a chance rather then explain to my wife the extra $200 for the bees and frames.
Anyway about five minutes after he told me this I get a call from my 9 year old daughter (at the store with mom) she said "the sky is filled with bees, come quick daddy".
They were about a half mile from our house. By the time I got some tools together and drove down there the bees where in a cluster on a cherry tree about fifteen feet up. I shook them off into a box and took them home.
Now I have two hives!
Beeginners luck?

Bernard Arulanandam
Bernard Arulanandam named UTSA College of Sciences associate dean
By Amanda Beck
Communications Specialist, College of Sciences
(Oct. 15, 2009)--Professor Bernard Arulanandam has been named associate dean of research for scientific innovation in the UTSA College of Sciences (COS). Arulanandam is a professor of biology and a member of the UTSA South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases.
"We are excited to have Dr. Arulanandam working in this capacity," said George Perry, COS dean. "His expertise in the area of commercializing intellectual property will add a much needed component to the research efforts in our college."
At UTSA since 2001, Arulanandam's research focuses on the development of vaccines and therapies, which is accomplished through a better understanding of the immune system. Much of his work includes the study of mucosal surfaces such as the lungs and the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, significant entry points for pathogens and often the body's first line of defense.
His laboratory is pursuing two major projects. The first relates to the body's defenses against respiratory infections of the bacterium Francisella tularensis, which causes a disease called tularemia or rabbit fever. F. tularensis is particularly dangerous because potentially it could be used as a bio-weapon.
The second project is to develop a vaccine against the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, which causes the sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia. In collaboration with the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Arulanandam has established an exclusive license and sponsored research agreement with Merck and Co. Inc. to develop a vaccine for chlamydia.
This recent agreement paves the way for Arulanandam's work under his new title to develop intellectual property ventures. As associate dean of research for scientific innovation in the COS, Arulanandam will:
- Identify and pursue intellectual property development for discoveries originating from faculty members and researchers of the COS
- Serve as an alternate reviewer and approver for proposals and sponsored support originating from the COS
- Lead efforts that ensure limited submission grant proposals are announced and proposals are received, screened and prioritized for rank order submissions to the Office of the Vice President for Research and Office of Sponsored Programs
- Serve as advocate of the COS on matters concerning governing university rules and regulations related to COS research programs with particular emphasis in intellectual property development
The UTSA College of Sciences hosts more than 5,000 students and employs more than 130 tenure and tenure-track faculty members through 12 undergraduate and 14 graduate programs in five departments: Biology, Chemistry, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics and Astronomy. Students are exposed to collaboration within UTSA and through partnerships with local external research institutions including the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Southwest Research Institute and the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research.

I have tried this a few times in the past, but I keep getting billed. So today, someone on the phone said they would cancel it and would give me back two months of credit for a total of $19.98, even though I have spent a total of an extra $49.95 in the last five months and tried to cancel it MONTHS ago. It's not worth my time to fight it, I've spent hours on this.

Reviews of this property
Not only did the appartment look exactly like the picture but we also had a warm welcome and got shown around the room. The placement of the room was also great, nearby a metro station and a walks away from the concert building we needed to get to!
I'd def stay here again, overall we had a great stay and the service was A+
There was a wonderful time we had in Paris. The flat was comfortable although a little bit small for four adults. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste a life of a Parisian. Greg.
nice studio in a vivid neighborhood. close to a main road, but the windows keep the noise outside. stores, bares, restaurants - it is all around the corner.
had everything needed, warm and charming welcome. uncomplicated and friendly.
enjoyed it and will book it again. what else to say...
We had a realy warm welcome by Rapael, he is charming. The apartement is situated in a beautiful area near bastille. The apartment offers everthing u need. It was really calm, though there is a bar under the apartment (this was closed during our stay). We'd enjoyed our stay there very much.
I stayed in the apartment from 26 December 2013-2 January 2014 I have to admit that everything was PERFECT! The apartment is as described in the pictures and in the description of the site (perhaps a little too small for 4 people honestly, but it is good for 2 people) and is equipped with everything you need. It is located in a quiet area of Paris, 150 meters from the metro and bus, 150 meters from the supermarket and McDonald's. At the foot of the apartment there is an excellent bakery and a bistro. The stay was wonderful and certainly this is also thanks to the availability, friendliness and warmth of Cedric and Raphael who made us feel at home immediately. I can not wait to go back already!!!
Ho soggiornato nell'appartamento dal 26 dicembre 2013 al 2 gennaio 2014 e devo ammettere che è stato tutto PERFETTO!!! L'appartamento è come descritto nelle immagini e nella descrizione del sito (forse un po troppo piccolo per 4 persone onestamente, ma per 2 persone è ottimo) ed è dotato di tutto il necessario. Si trova in una zona tranquilla di Parigi, a 150 metri dalla fermata della metro e del bus, 150 metri dal supermercato e dal Mc Donald's. Ai piedi dell'appartamento c'è un'ottima pasticceria ed un bistrot. Il soggiorno è stato indubbiamente stupendo e questo anche grazie alla disponibilità, cordialità e simpatia di Cedric e Raphael che ci hanno fatti sentire subito a casa. Non vedo già l'ora di tornarci!!!!!!!!
Apartment in perfect condition, no complaints about cleanliness and staffing.
We were greeted very nicely by Raphael despite the late hour and the temperature ... Siberian.
In short: perfect!
Appartement en parfait état, rien à redire sur la propreté et la dotation.
Nous avons été accueillis fort gentiment par Raphaèl malgré l'heure tardive et la température...sibérienne.
En résumé : parfait !
Our stay in Paris was very nice. Raphael friendly. The apartment is conveniently located near a metro station and the train station, so getting the perfect city. Very well equipped with everything you need. The only fault I have found is that the cleanliness leaves much to be desired, especially the bathroom. And I did not like that once you pay the stay, we wrote with new conditions that were not described in the offer, but otherwise great.
Nuestra estancia en París ha sido muy agradable. Raphael muy amable. El apartamento está muy bien ubicado, cerca de una boca de metro y la estación de tren, así que para moverse por la ciudad perfecto. Muy bien equipado con todo lo necesario. La única pega que yo le he encontrado es que la limpieza deja mucho que desear, sobre todo la del baño. Y tampoco me gustó que una vez que pagamos la estancia, nos escribieron con nuevas condiciones que no estaban descritas en la oferta, pero por lo demás estupendo.
Super nice apartment in a good neighborhood. It was absolutely perfect - thank you!
Super fin lejlighed i et godt kvarter. Det var helt perfekt - tak!
Production Design und perfekte optimal Raumnutzung, sodass die Wohnung größer vorkommt. Empfang und Übergabe überaus sympathisch und bestens reregelt. Von Anfang an habe ich mich in dieser modernen Wohnung in einem alten Pariser Wohnhaus zu Hause gefühlt. From the first moment I felt like home. This is because the apartment has all the necessary equipment, the available space is best used and especially the kindness and hospitality of perfection. See you soon!

Chris Matthews: We may never know if religion was a factor at Fort Hood
posted at 8:34 pm on November 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
Well … yes, that's true, if you think anything short of Hasan sitting up in his hospital bed and declaring "why, indeed, religion was a factor at Fort Hood" amounts to irresponsible speculation. But here's what we've got so far, according to eyewitnesses, colleagues, and friends. He considered the war on terror a "war on Islam" and himself a Muslim first and an American second; he thought Muslims had the right to stand up to the "aggressor" in the Middle East and is suspected of posting things online about the selfless heroism of jihadist suicide bombers; he was placed on probation for proselytizing about Islam to patients and colleagues and was sufficiently devout that he refused to have his picture taken with women; he once used a lecture at a medical conference as an opportunity to discuss how the Koran orders decapitation for infidels; and, oh yes, he yelled "Allahu Akbar" before opening fire.
Now, per the media's favored Narrative, could a guy with that background have somehow compartmentalized that in his mind and been driven to kill entirely by pre-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD by proxy or whatever? I guess. Anything's possible. But would the same benefit of the doubt be given to a nut trending towards fanaticism of a different ideological hue? Like I said yesterday on Twitter: You'll know it's okay to start speculating about Hasan's motives when cops find a Glenn Beck book on his bookshelf. In fact, if the same "PTSD by proxy" elements had been present in Hasan's bio but it turned out he'd attended a tea party or two, we'd already be well into hour 30 of a full-on media speculation orgy. The nutroots needed less time than that to pronounce conservatism collectively guilty of murder in the case of that hanged census worker, even though, as it turns out, he probably wasn't murdered. But then, we've been over this ground before. For now, let's simply look forward to this Sunday's New York Times op-ed page, as Krugman and Rich and the rest of the gang who see murderers in every angry conservative face warn us how vicious it is to assume the worst about people because of one bad apple.
In fairness to Matthews, this isn't a terrible interview. He does press his guest — a little — on the "Allahu Akbar" detail. What he doesn't press him on is whether he's the best person to be chatting about this subject. Anyone recognize our expert here?
Update: Incidentally, if Hasan does end up confessing to a jihadist motive, should we start re-thinking 9/11 as motivated in part by post-traumatic stress disorder? Bin Laden fought in Afghanistan against the Soviets, after all. Surely there must be some other explanation besides the obvious one.

FDA Approves Topamax for Migraine Prevention in Adolescents »
"Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Topamax (topiramate) for prevention (prophylaxis) of migraine headaches in adolescents ages 12 to 17. This is the first FDA approval of a drug for migraine prevention in this age group. The me"...

Following an acute overdosage of butalbital, acetaminophen, and caffeine, toxicity may result from the barbiturate or the acetaminophen. Toxicity due to caffeine is less likely, due to the relatively small amounts in this formulation.
Signs and Symptoms
Toxicity from barbiturate poisoning include drowsiness, confusion, and coma; respiratory depression; hypotension; and hypovolemic shock.
In acetaminophen overdosage: dose-dependent, potentially fatal hepatic necrosis is the most serious adverse effect. Renal tubular necroses, hypoglycemic coma, and thrombocytopenia may also occur. Early symptoms following a potentially hepatotoxic overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, and general malaise. Clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatic toxicity may not be apparent until 48 to 72 hours post-ingestion. In adults hepatic toxicity has rarely been reported with acute overdoses of less than 10 grams, or fatalities with less than 15 grams.
Acute caffeine poisoning may cause insomnia, restlessness, tremor, and delirium, tachycardia and extrasystoles.
A single or multiple overdose with this combination product is a potentially lethal polydrug overdose, and consultation with a regional poison control center is recommended.
Immediate treatment includes support of cardiorespiratory function and measures to reduce drug absorption. Vomiting should be induced mechanically, or with syrup of ipecac, if the patient is alert (adequate pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes).
Oral activated charcoal (1 g/kg) should follow gastric emptying. The first dose should be accompanied by an appropriate cathartic. If repeated doses are used, the cathartic might be included with alternate doses as required. Hypotension is usually hypovolemic and should respond to fluids. Pressors should be avoided. A cuffed endotracheal tube should be inserted before gastric lavage of the unconscious patient and when necessary, to provide assisted respiration. If renal function is normal, forced diuresis may aid in the elimination of the barbiturate. Alkalinization of the urine increases renal excretion of some barbiturates, especially phenobarbital.
Meticulous attention should be given to maintaining adequate pulmonary ventilation. In severe cases of intoxication, peritoneal dialysis, or preferably hemodialysis may be considered. If hypoprothrombinemia occurs due to acetaminophen overdose, vitamin K should be administered intravenously.
If the dose of acetaminophen may have exceeded 140 mg/kg, acetylcysteine should be administered as early as possible. Serum acetaminophen levels should be obtained, since levels four or more hours following ingestion help predict acetaminophen toxicity. Do not await acetaminophen assay results before initiating treatment. Hepatic enzymes should be obtained initially, and repeated at 24-hour intervals.
Methemoglobinemia over 30% should be treated with methylene blue by slow intravenous administration.
Toxic Doses (for adults)

|(20 capsules)

In all cases of suspected overdosage, call your Regional Poison Control Center to obtain the most up-to-date information about the treatment of overdosage. Telephone numbers of certified Regional Poison Control Centers are listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference.®

Climber dies from fall in Glacier
WEST GLACIER, Mont. - A hiker has died at Glacier National Park after he fell 1,000 feet to his death.
Four employees of Glacier Park Inc. left to go hiking Apikuni Mountain Tuesday morning. Around 11:15 a.m. the group called park dispatch, reporting a hiker had fallen down the mountain.
"It's a very steep, rocky, treacherous area," said Public Affairs Officer Denise Germann. She told us that crews spotted the 21-year old's body from the air.
"This was an extremely sad and tragic event. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of our lost associate, his friends, his associates," said Ron Cadrette, Vice President/General Manager of Glacier Park Inc. He says that all employees of his company are trained on day one about the dangers of the wilderness in the park.
"All our employees go through a day one orientation training program which covers a range of safety topics including what cautions to take while hiking. In addition they are required to attend a two hour orientation with the National Park Service."
But even with proper training, peaks like the 9,000-plus foot Mount Apikuni are dangerous for everyone.
"You always remind folks to be as careful as you can," Germann said. "Use best judgment, have the right equipment, have the correct skills for what you may be attempting, but again, it's wilderness, it's back country, it's nature."

I recall hearing on espn how colts fans were all rooting for Eli in the SB?.
Should we do the same for peyton and the broncos?
I recall hearing on espn how colts fans were all rooting for Eli in the SB?.
Should we do the same for peyton and the broncos?
Im rooting for Denver now.. because of Von Miller
I don't have a problem rooting for Eli's brother.
Go Broncos.....go Seahawks!!!!!
I used to, but since I now find it impossible to turn on the television or open a newspaper without having to look at his face, no....I cant, and wont. The hype has killed my love of Peyton.
I will. Hype for Peyton? Gimme a break, the guys a 1st ballot HOF & will retire holding almost every major NFL passing record in NFL history!
Seeing as how Eli's ring count is the only thing keeping him from being a footnote in the Manning family, I cannot root for Peyton to get his second ring (at least until after Eli gets a third). Otherwise, I wish him well...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
It would be nice to see Peyton cap off this awesome comeback season with a SuperBowl win but I don't think it is going to happen. This Tom Brady's year.
When people start acknowledging that Eli is the far superior post season and SB player, then I'll root for Peyton.
I don't think that they were rooting for Eli and the Giants as much as the were rooting against Tom and the Pats.
Probably for the same reason that some of you don't want Peyton to succeed-- it makes your QB look less significant. Or at least you think it does (It really doesn't).
The difference is Peyton and Brady are actually in a competitive class together. As much as you love him, Eli just isn't in that class. No modern QB is... not yet, at least.
Letting go of the desire to put Eli and Peyton or Brady on equal footing will be relieving for some of you if you can just learn to let go.

The food was merely adequate, and the service was downright bizarre: we were in the middle of our appetizers when the main course was served. That's lousy kitchen management.
Food just so so but the wait staff is friendly and funny.
Beautiful atmosphere, Great food, nice wine list and realistic price, Outstanding service a great place for a special event. Almost like a Manhattan Resturant but not cramped tables, and no surly attitude. Great for a Specail event. Please do not ruin the atmosphere by bringing unruly children.
Food is not as good since Denny the cook left.
But still a bargain.
Unfriendly staff.
where else do you find live music - GOOD live music - se7en nights a week in TUS? A great neighborhood bar with friendly people. Makes me wish I didn't have a morning job.
Love the atmosphere and the food has always been great. Fabulous desserts!
The food is fast, consistent and good. As a friend from East Europe said, "It is a coffee shop just like in American movies."
Great food, great price. Also if your military they have great military discounts. It's a great place to feed the whole family on a low budget with some good food. We always seem to have better service at thier broadway location, however the other locations aren't bad either.
Great service--ginormous servings and fries to die for. Roomy atmosphere with plenty of tvs to catch your fave sporting event.
Great place there is nothing like it in Tucson but everyone knows that and it it is not big enough to hold everyone who wants to start there night off
Great sports bar and the crowd is all ages and has a great veiw you can relax and not worry about fights and even worse I have notice in other parts of the city it seems dirty with lots of mad people this place is a good time for people that like to have a drink in peace and watch a game, now if your the type of person who needs alot of drama in your night life then maybe you could stay on your side of town and go to your local dirty south tucson bar
I thought it was a fun place. Nice TVs to watch sports and fun bands - especially on Fridays. My dinner was excellent too.
Been going there for over 25 years! Our all time favorite. (Even though we don't live nearby any more, we still trek there at least once/week!!)
Mexican grill - delicious
Pies good, but banana bread better (pumpkin bread during thanksgiving - wish year round)
good, hot coffee
(If you are into liver & onions, also very good -- nice and tender)
I was excited to try The Loop Taste of Chicago when I discovered it. Wow! It met every expectation. The atmosphere is fun with lots of Chicago sports memorabilia, the menu is surprisingly versatile with something for any palate. And the food... let's start by saying this was the best pizza I have had west of Chicagoland!! Not only the pizza, but I have enjoyed everything I have tried. Whether I want to watch a game in the bar with friends, or have dinner with family, this is my favorite local spot. It is easy to find - just north on Oracle as you come into Oro Valley sharing the parking lot with the Holiday Inn Express. I highly recommend this place for everybody and every occasion!!!
A friend told me about this and said they have bands so I checked it out over the weekend. In a work the place is dull. Not horrible or anything but it's pretty dull. I guess I would go back but I am in no hurry to do so.
This place is a keeper. Need I say more?
Was hoping for a better experience. The vide isn't happening here. The food isn't really worth the prices and the sound system is sorta low budget. Wish this place were better as there isn't much else around this area.
much needed fun and entertainment in the Foothills! Thanks!
I just went to Austin's and the everything was disappointing. The services is sooooo slow and the price of the food (diner food) is off the charts. They upcharge for french fries instead of chips and then they give you very little. The shakes don't come out with the meal but after you're almost finished eating and ready to go. I can't not express to you enough how overly priced the food is. Please choose another diner in the future.
Terrible service and mediocre food. I ordered a "patty melt" which consisted of a slab of beef and a piece of cheese on toasted white bread. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

This gun was converted by PRK in Caliornia. I added the bullet guide to use Galil mags.
I was unhappy with any of the hand guard options available. I was not looking to put rails on the gun but with little better options I remembered that I had an old Surefire M83 railed hand guard set in the safe. So for giggles I put it on.
I realized something cool. Here is the cool thing about it. The Old Surefire M83 quad system does not require a lower hand guard retainer to mount, NEVER DID. The bottom and top rails lock together rock solid but do not touch or mount to the barrel unlike other designs currently out there.
The barrel pretty much floats there. The BAD NEWS is that the Surefire M83 is as rare as hen's teeth and command big $ when found.
I am waiting to thread the muzzle next week. I took it out today and it shot like a dream fed handloads, factory, and soft points accurately and launches the spent casings about 40 feet in the 2 'O clock position.

I have known today's One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks since she was a teenager raised in Colesburg. Later, when she started dating one of my husband's former students, they would stop by for visits and we grew close to them.
This month's honoree is Celia Ryan Thomas who is married to local veterinarian, Dr. Mike Thomas.
Celia shared with me that she remembers helping her mom by churning butter until she thought her arm would fall off. With eight children, her mom, Annie Ryan, who also has been named a Finest Cook, stayed busy cooking and getting ready for hectic meal times. The four girls always were the cleanup crew. They had a large garden, chickens that provided meat and eggs and their own beef and pork.
Once married, Celia learned she really enjoyed cooking. Her husband's favorite was fried chicken and it still is his favorite although it's only served on special occasions. Mike and Celia have four daughters and some of their favorite recipes are included here.
Mike and Celia have a large garden, enough to can 400 quarts each of green beans and tomatoes, and enough additional tomatoes to make salsa and tomato juice. Corn comes in and 2,000 ears will be cut from the cob and frozen. As zucchini ripens, she makes 400 loaves of bread to freeze. It takes many hands to break all the green beans and complete other tasks, so family and friends help and go home with some of the harvest as a token of the Thomas' thanks. Celia also prepares a big meal for them and it ends with cake and homemade ice cream.
Celia and Mike host a large Christmas party for 200 family and friends. She starts in the early part of the week by making candies, cookies and cakes. She shared that many guests tell her how much they appreciate the garden vegetables on the menu.
"I really feel my mother's love of cooking has been passed down to me and I am passing it down to my daughters," Celia said. "Our favorite room in our house is the kitchen and that cooking sure makes for special times and really special memories."
Congratulations, Celia. You are one amazing woman and a wonderful cook.
See Celia's Zucchini Bread recipe in the July 30 Recipe Roundup.
Chicken Salad
Cook boneless skinless chicken breasts in a slow cooker for 8 hours. Let cool. Chop chicken into small pieces. Add chopped pecans, chopped red seedless grapes, chopped sweet pickles. Add Miracle Whip salad dressing to moisten. Serve on croissants or with fresh tomatoes.
Wilted Lettuce
Place fresh garden lettuce in a metal bowl. Sprinkle salad greens with vinegar, salt, pepper and a small amount of sugar. After frying several pieces of bacon, let cool on plate then crumble into lettuce. Leave grease from bacon in skillet and while hot, carefully pour over lettuce and remix greens to coat lightly.
Carrot Cake
4 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
5 cups grated carrots, approximately 2 pounds
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy, add oil in a thin stream and beat well. Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder; add to egg mixture and mix well. Fold in carrots and nuts. Pour into pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8 ounces cream cheese, slightly softened
1 stick margarine, softened
3 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
Beat cream cheese and margarine until smooth. Add confectioner's sugar and mix well. Beat at high speed until smooth.
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
3 cups milk
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 heaping tablespoon flour
1 quart half and half
1 quart heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons vanilla
Crushed ice
Rock salt
Place milk in double boiler, beat in eggs. When warm, blend in sugar, salt and flour. Heat until the mixture sticks to a metal spoon; do not boil. Let cool. Blend in half and half, then the heavy whipping cream. Add vanilla and mix well.
Fill a gallon ice cream maker container with mixture. Follow directions on ice cream freezer and surround with alternating crushed ice and rock salt. The ice cream maker will take 30-45 minutes. Put ice cream in freezer until ready to serve.
Using basic vanilla ice cream, add your favorite candy bar or cookies. Cut back on sugar and crush other ingredients. For example, use six two-ounce Butterfinger bars, chopped, or chopped Oreo cookies.
For peach ice cream, cut back vanilla to 1 tablespoon and add two pints of crushed fresh peaches. Use the same method for banana or strawberry ice cream.

Be[a]st Covers and Reworks
Occasionally, a cover, rework or re-interpretation of a tune will eclipse the original track in the format we've initially heard it. Rarely is it admissible that we'll dedicate an entire post to such songs, but recently, I've been tossed a few "it's hard to deny how rad they are" signature takes on others' tunes, and thereby, we're rounding 'em up and dishing 'em out.
First up is 22-year old Matt Palmer. I initially got wind of him when cool cat Raj over at EQ posted up his re-imagination of Rihanna's Rude Boy, dubbed Cardiac Arrest. Pretty slick how he turns the song in to a completely new arrangement...and he's done it again, this time taking Ke$ha's smash hit, Tik Tok, and stripped her lyrics out and replaced his own smooth tones, with Times Two.
Next up, Marina and the Diamonds dropped by BBC Radio1 Live Lounge and blew us away with a fantastic cover of an awful song. Here's the thing: even in it's original form, there was something interesting about 3OH3 and Katy Perry's track Starstrukk, and I mean something other than spelling it with 2 k's (really?). I wanted to like it, but couldn't support it in any sense. Until now. Thanks for the stunner, Marina.
Finally, Florence and the Machine go stripped down and sexy with a take on Mario Winans' smooth jam, I Don't Wanna Know. The session was recorded for Billboard and it is simply more beautiful than anything right now.
Grab all three slices of wonder below.
