Earlier reports suggested that Fiat wanted to distance the Caravan from the Town & Country (Voyager elsewhere in the world). One of the ways to do this that was tossed around was to make one small, and one larger and more luxurious. Could this be a hint as to what will become of the next Dodge Caravan?:http://www.motortrend.com/future/future_vehicles/1006_dodge_could_get_new_mpv/index.html Dodge Could Get New MPVSeven-Seat People Mover Coming for 2012 - Will it be a Dodge?June 09, 2010 Click to view GalleryIn April, Fiat rolled out its latest strategy for the revival of the Chrysler Group and loosely outlined the products the automaker is expected to roll out over the next several years both in Europe and the U.S. One interesting tidbit in the presentation was the announcement of a new seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) being developed for the U.S. market that is slated to roll into showrooms sometime in calendar year 2012. The new MPV, which will reportedly be built on the Fiat Group C-compact platform, and is said to be being positioned to do battle with the Mazda5 and Ford's coming Grand C-Max. While it's conceivable that the vehicle could be badged as both a Chrysler and a Dodge, a Dodge-branded vehicle makes more sense -- especially when considering the recent news that Fiat plans to fuse Chrysler and Lancia at the hip.A Dodge MPV would also mean that Fiat could arguably take a more expressive approach to the vehicle. It's no secret that the Journey and Grand Caravan aren't exactly reflective of where Fiat wants to take Dodge, and a sport-themed MPV along the lines of what is depicted above could be just the ticket to help transition the brand away from its bland people-mover offerings.It would also allow Dodge to go after younger buyers looking for a vehicle with a blend of practicality and efficiency on top of a sporty character. Any U.S.-market MPV would have to have flexible packaging and offer room for bicycles, snowboards and the like. We'd expect any small MPV to be powered by one of Fiat's efficient MultiAir engines. Of course at this point it's hard to say which brand will actually get the vehicle outlined in the plan, but the addition of the coming MPV to the Dodge stable certainly makes sense. We'll know more over the next year as the Fiat plan begins to take shape.IMO, this is a pretty clear hint that the next Dodge Caravan would go this route while the Town & Country/Voyager will remain larger and more luxurious. They would no longer be clones of one another. However, there could always be a larger version of the Caravan dubbed Grand Caravan too. We musn't rule that out. It would be very similar to how there's a Ford C-Max, Grand C-Max, and S-Max in Europe.

Alex daOriginal:why keep the chrysler van? just go with a compact Caravan, and a larger Grand Caravan that's what i'd ***that rendering looks good but it kinda reminds me of the Lumina APVGood point. I think the Town & Country should steer closer to the Licoln MKT and Audi Q7. A sort of Pacifica/Aspen combo.

This is a good idea. Keep the T&C big and luxurious (for a minivan) and move the Caravan down in size to compete with the Mazda5 and the rest of the actual minivans. I hate rebadged cars. These vans have been some of the worst offenders. It's about time something else was put out there.If Dodge is going to be the sporty side of Chryco, this move makes sense. Look at Mazda's lineup. The only van there anymore is the 5. Congratulations Fiat for putting together a van plan that makes sense for the new ID for Dodge.

It is a very good looking rendering. This strategy makes sense to me. Dodge should be the sporty brand, competing with VW, Nissan, Mazda etc, while moving Chrysler into Lincoln and Buick territory. The T/C could compete agents the Buick Enclave or the Lincoln MKT if positioned right.

I think they should just offer the Kahuna in addition to the Caravan. Honestly, I think they should dump the T&C. I dont think a "luxury" line needs a minivan.
Maybe Chrysler moves away from packaging the T&C as a minivan and moves it more into a luxury Crossover. I would definitely buy that more easily as Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, Acura, etc. do not sell minivans at all.

The Pick up: 5 Reasons Assholes get the Girls
"Why is it always the jerks who get the hottest girls?" If you've ever been the guy asking this question, here are 10 things you need to know about how to get girls you're attracted to.
When people find out that I'm a professional dating coach for men, one of the first questions is always:
"Why is it always the jerks who get the hottest girls?"
It's actually not quite true. But if you've ever been the guy asking this question, there are five things you need to know right now about how to get girls you're attracted to.
"Nice" is not in short supply for attractive women. If you're a hot girl, there is no limit to the number of men who will be nice to you—especially at first. If your best quality is that you'll be nice to her, it's like saying your best quality is you have two arms. Too nice too soon feels fake. Have you had someone be overly nice to you when you hadn't done anything to deserve it? Doesn't it feel weird—like they must have an agenda, or want something, or don't have much going for them? Polite is fine. Sucking up will kill your chances with her. Being a challenge is not the same thing as being a jerk. As I explained in my dating bible for men, the Magic Bullets Handbook, "flirting is a fun game, and women want to play too." People value what they have to work for. If she has to work for your interest, she'll be more attracted to you. If it's too easy to get your interest, she'll know your standards aren't very high. Women like men with high standards—it's more validating when they reach them. Women are not delicate fine china. At our Love Systems boot camps, guys are always surprised when instructors show them how to talk to girls they want. They'll tease, they'll pretend not to be interested, they'll flirt with other women nearby and so on. Some guys think this is acting like a jerk. Most women find it fun and engaging, and part of building romantic and/or sexual tension. Nice guys are needy. Neediness ranks up there with leprosy in terms of things attractive women want in a man. As a friend of mine said, "If I have a choice between an asshole guy and a needy guy, and it's just for a night out, I'll take the asshole guy every time. He might be fun, and he won't make me responsible for his happiness."
While we're at it, keep in mind that jealousy is a bitch. Fifteen years ago, before I was any good with women, no one ever called me a jerk. When I started learning the secrets that eventually became Love Systems, somehow I became one—but only to guys who were jealous or frustrated with their love life. If you've got a friend or acquaintance who is really good with women, don't rationalize his success away by dismissing him as a jerk; watch and learn what he does—nine times out of 10 you'll be able to recognize the Love Systems dating principles in these articles.

Patriots win 3 straight in baseball
The Pequot Lakes Patriots baseball team is on a three-game winning streak after starting the season 0-8 overall. Last week, the Patriots pounded out 30 hits and 40 runssweeping Crosby-Ironton 21-6 and 19-6 in a Mid-State Conference doubleheader on Tuesday, May 14, and upset Aitkin 14-1 in non-conference play on Thursday, May 16.
The Patriots, 3-8 overall, will play a rescheduled home doubleheader against Perham on Wednesday, May 22, and then host Wadena-Deer Creek in a Mid-State Conference doubleheader at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 23.
Patriots sweep Rangers
In the opener, Hunter Leslie homered and tripled in his first two at bats and Aspen Florey was 4-for-5. Pequot Lakes outhit C-I 14-5 and committed just two errors while the Rangers had eight.
Peter Kostecka earned the pitching win while Ranger starter Jared Bundy took the loss.
"We played some pretty good baseball all season, but we haven't been getting the big hits when we needed them," said Pequot Lakes coach Kyle Spray, "but that changed today."
In the nightcap, the Patriots outhit the Rangers 16-11 in a slugfest. Pequot Lakes also played better on defense as they committed two errors to eight by C-I.
Austin Mesenbrink was the winning pitcher while Ben Jordan took the loss. Florey added a run-scoring triple. Pequot Lakes improved to 2-6 in the Mid-State while C-I drops to 0-10 in the conference.
Patriots 14, Aitkin 1
On May 16, Pequot Lakes downed the Gobblers as Jordan Redmond pitched a complete game victory and Messenbrink was 2-for-4 with two stolen bases.
Aitkin enjoyed an 8-7 edge in hits, but the Patriots played errorless ball.
"It was a great game," said Redmond. "We went up by one run, but they tied it. We then got the lead back, and we were able to hold it."
Spray added: "We played great defense against a real good team," he said. "We got a couple of nice hits, and Jordan (Redmond) pitched a nice game."

American sales overshadowed by poor sales in Europe
Record results in North America covered continued losses in Europe and a lukewarm result in South America to power Ford Motor Company to an US$8 billion profit in 2012.
A strong final three months of the year brought the company home with a wet sail, with a fourth quarter pre-tax profit of US$1.7 billion ($2.02 billion) its highest in more than a decade, says industry website, Go Auto.
The full-year figure was down on the US$8.8 billion profit recorded in 2011, but nevertheless marks 14 straight quarters in the black for the Detroit-based car-maker.
The US domestic market was responsible for the lion's share of earnings, with record pre-tax profits of US$8.3 billion and an operating margin of 10.4 per cent reflecting the continued recovery of the US market as a whole post Global Financial Crisis.
Ford president and CEO Alan Mulally said the positive growth showed the company's One Ford plan, highlighted by greater model sharing between diverse markets, was working.
"We are well positioned for another strong year in 2013, as we continue our plan to serve customers in all markets around the world with a full family of vehicles - small, medium and large; cars, utilities and trucks - with the very best quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value," he said.
The company predicts even stronger US pre-tax profits in 2013, citing efforts to slim down its cost structure, better match production with demand and its industry leading roll-out of new-generation model lines.
However, the results were overshadowed by a worse than expected full-year pre-tax loss of US$1.75 billion in Europe, compared to a loss of US$27 million a year earlier.
Ford of Europe's fourth quarter pre-tax operating loss of $732 million widened sharply from a loss of $190 million in 2011.
The European arm experienced substantial decline in both volume (1.35 million, down from 1.6 million in 2011) and annual revenue (down to US$26.6 billion from US$33.8 billion one year earlier).
These figures were compounded by the forecast of a further US$2 billion in losses for 2013 as the company faces up to an "uncertain" business environment and another volume contraction.
Ford said it now expects total European sales volumes to be lower than the 14 million sold in 2012.

Timberlake also revealed that a documentary about the recording of The 20/20 Experience was filmed, and it will be released around the same time as the album (which is due March 19). The countdown video that was used to announce the album uses footage from the film.
"Not to give too much away because you know I like surprising the fans, but that little piece of footage is from a documentary we started working on throughout the making of the album, which started last June," Timberlake told Seacrest. "So it was more a little excerpt from that, which I kinda thought about afterwards. Like, oh, people don't know about the documentary. This seems a little weird."
Much like his FutureSex/LoveSounds album, JT says the new record will also have many interconnected tracks and musical segments. "We touched on the last album with the interludes and the pieces that connect the song to another song we've really gone deep on that part of the process a lot of the songs are really two-in-one," Timberlake said. "For instance, when you're putting a song out like 'Suit & Tie,' it's kind of two different things happening at the same time. I know that there aren't many R&B dance records on the radio and I think we kind of felt, it seemed fresh to [Timbaland] and I and obviously Jay we just felt like yea let's put it out. I love the record."

Host Per Fagereng interviews Antonia Juhasz about her new book BLACK TIDE: the Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill. It is the largest oil disaster in American history, and it could happen again. It is more than a story of ruined beaches, dead wildlife, chemical dispersants, corporate spin, political machinations, and financial fallout.
It is a riveting human drama filled with people whose lives will forever be defined as "before" and "after" the Gulf oil disaster. Black Tide is the only book to tell this story through the perspective of people on all sides of the catastrophe, from those who lost their lives, loved ones, and livelihoods to those who made the policies that set the devastating event in motion, those who cut the corners that put corporate profits over people and the environment, and those who have committed their lives to ensuring that such an event is never repeated.
"We cannot allow the BP disaster to be pushed from public view the way BP used chemical dispersants to hide the oil. These remarkable stories—of loss, heroism, and culpability—are a vivid reminder that this catastrophe will be with us for decades, and that we have not yet made the changes necessary to prevent destruction in the future." --Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Antonia Juhasz is Director and Founder of the Energy Program at Global Exchange, a San Francisco-based human rights non-profit organization. She is a policy-analyst, author and activist. Juhasz is the author of The Tyranny of Oil: the World's Most Powerful Industry, and What We Must Do To Stop It (HarperCollins 2008) and The Bu$h Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time (HarperCollins 2006). http://www.antoniajuhasz.com/ [3]

Scrambling out of a rocky stream and foiling the crowd gathered to cheer my fall, then ascending the escarpment to look out over a sweep of golden beach below, anticipating another 150km or so of forest and trail ahead, I realised Yamaha may have found the perfect dual-purpose bike - especially for shorties, like I am, who are less limber than they once were.
Yamaha's XT250 has evolved over the years, and it's really hit the spot as a surprisingly capable trail bike that's also ideal for adventure rides - long-distance social events which take in sealed and unsealed roads plus farm and forestry tracks, and so require a road-registered trailie.
However, the XT doesn't boast the long-travel suspension of a motocrosser, and though that's hardly a hardship cross country, it could use better compliance as it tends to pogo over rocks and bumps.
The 249cc air-cooled engine is no ball of fire, and gearing tuned for 100km/h highways en route to workis a tad high for the trickier stuff off-road.
So for this ride Yamaha replaced the standard handlebars with more rugged and slightly higher Renthal alloy items, altered the oil level height in the forks to suit my weight and the type of terrain I'd cross, and lowered the gearing using a GYTR sprocket out back with a rubber cush drive specific to this model.
They then bolted on some hand protectors to keep branches from flicking my fingers and a rear brake pedal snake to deflect bush that might catch in the footpegs. They lifted the front lower mudguard to prevent drying mud sticking the tyre to the guard and applied knobbier dirt tyres.
As a final touch, the rear passenger footpegs were removed and the standard indicators replaced by smaller ones. The result was a bike still capable of 100km/h, but stronger at the bottom end, where you need it when hauling up steep slopes or engine-braking down precipitous descents. Adjusting the forks helped keep the front planted, slightly offsetting a bouncing rear, while the higher bars made for a more comfortable standing position - so my knees became part of the suspension equation over rough ground.
The XT is, anyway, nicely balanced, and great fun on gravel and though it lacked acceleration over some of the other bikes at the recent Far North Adventure ride, that confidence let me overtake on loose surfaces, allowing more time to admire the view when the route allowed.
At 131kg wet it's not as light as more focused trail machines, but at $7948 (plus $953 worth of extras) it's affordable, and with an 810mm seat height and optional luggage rack it easily doubles as a commuter.
It would be interesting to try after-market suspension aimed at better compliance, and perhaps add the optional sump guard - but then again, those would add to the cost.
Given the XT has traditionally been a grandpa's axe, evolving slowly over time with each change a small, incremental improvement, I'd hope these are the upgrades to the new variant out next year.
Great scenery and great companions make it a great day out.
Adventure rides are rather like orienteering on road-registered dirt bikes: on-competitive cross-country events that introduce places you'd never normally see.
There's nothing like the views from some of New Zealand's farmland hilltops, or threading a thin sand track off Ninety Mile Beach to arrive on a rolling emerald-green lawn fringing a star compass, a vast ring of Maori carvings beside sheds of partly
completed oceangoing waka. Magic.
Angela and Mike Britton of Britton Adventures have organised rides in New Zealand, South
America, Mongolia and Vietnam and they're experts at negotiating access or setting routes to suit a wide range of bikes and riders, tracing easy-to-follow tulip diagrams.
These are social events so you'll find husbands and wives riding together, mums and dads bringing kids and, over the years, those kids turning up on their own bikes as adults.
The recent 20th anniversary Far North Adventure Ride included a 75-year-old on a 225cc road bike with dirt tyres, international extreme enduro expert Chris Birch with his mum and dad, all on KTMs, and a new generation of parents with their kids.

Update: Bomb threat at Vons grocery store parking lot
Lockdown lifted at nearby school
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a 16-year old boy Friday, after the teen made a bomb threat.
Officials told NewsChannel 3 police in Washington State alerted Santa Barbara County Sheriff about an at-risk teen.
The sheriff's department found the troubled teen at the Vons grocery store parking lot on Hollister and Turnpike in Santa Barbara County. They took the teen into custody. During questioning, officials said, the teen made a statement about having explosives in his car.
Deputies and the SWAT team created a perimeter around the Vons parking lot centering around a white SUV. The bomb squad is on the way to investigate the car.
California Highway Patrol was on scene providing traffic control. Four businesses in the shopping center were evacuated during the investigation.
The bomb squad was called in. They found what they call simulated devices. Officials say they were potentially functional, and could have been dangerous. They also found a modified air soft gun.
The parking lot at the Vons grocery store was shutdown while the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department investigates the threat.
The threat also caused officials at San Marcos High to place the school on lockdown.
San Marcos School said in a social media post, the lockdown was lifted at 1:05 p.m. and the students will have move into their lunch period.20103606

Best network cards/usb antennas for air cracking?
I just purchased a new MSI GP60 notebook and I want to upgrade the wireless to something a lot more powerful that also supports aircrack and backtrack. An internal card would be nice but I'm not opposed to an external USB as long as it is not gigantic (no 2ft antennas unless they retract or fold up small please). a few things that would be nice would be 300MB/s or 450Mb/s speed, bluetooth, WiDi, very long range. Obviously I don't expect to find all that in one card magical all powerful device but the more boxes checked the better. I like the style of the Alfa AWUS036H with the suction cup holder you can put on the back of your laptop but the 150Mb/s was a huge turnoff for me. Also a question, if my internal card supports bluetooth and I used a USB external EX: the alfa, will I be able to use the bluetooth from the internal while using the wifi from the external? Any recommendations on a device?

I need some help. I understand how to use the QE and when to put it on. What I don't understand is how you keep brood out of the honey supers if you wish not to use it.
This will be my first year, so the bees will put pollen, brood AND honey in my first deep right? After that is drawn out 8-9/10 frames, I will put on my medium super. Now, what happens at this point? Do they put brood, pollen and honey into that as well? I, just confused at the process. When do they STOP putting brood in and start storing ONLY honey?

A year after producing strategic plans for the Village and the North Avenue East Town commercial districts, the city is taking the next step with a study of how to implement them.
In both parts of Wauwatosa, the studies will take in traffic and turning patterns, and consider how to better balance pedestrian and vehicle movement. Slowing down cars - on State Street in the Village, and especially along the North Avenue corridor - is one city goal.
The studies, which will take several months, are to be done by Ayres Associates of Waukesha on a contract worth from $34,000 to $46,000, depending on various options, said Public Works Director William Porter. Ayres has done a number of street studies for the city.
Highly visible strategies
Some elements of the Village strategic plan were constructed this fall, including a more prominent walkway and landscaping at the corner of State Street and Harwood Avenue.
In the Village, no fewer than seven intersections will be looked at, and, for the parking lot in front of Starbucks, new access points and vehicle circulation patterns will be considered.
Perhaps the biggest change that may arise from the study is extending Harwood Avenue through Root Common Park, creating what would be a full intersection at Harwood and Wauwatosa avenues. Traffic on the lower part of Harwood, in front of Le Reve restaurant and other businesses, which is now one-way, would become two-way.
A BID for something better
The Village Business Improvement District supports the study, said Jim Plaisted, the BID's executive director.
The Village master plan "identifies some solutions for access to those businesses on Harwood, as well as cleaning up some of the traffic nightmare" that occurs on the angled extension of Harwood that passes by Baskin-Robbins, Plaisted said.
"That whole traffic pattern is dysfunctional," he said, noting the extension of Harwood is one suggestion.
Plaisted nalso oted that Harwood was once a through-street. He said it's too early to say if the BID members support reopening Harwood. gathering the information and what it would change about Village traffic is the first step.
Chicanes elimination
On North Avenue, the consultant will be considering the elimination of the chicanes, the lines in the road that have drivers weaving back and forth.
"The chicane concept accomplished its intended goal by decreasing through-traffic volume and, at least in the short-term, average traffic speed," says a planning document shown to the city's Traffic & Safety Committee, which recommended hiring Ayres to the Common Council. "On the other hand, motorists find the pavement markings difficult to see in bad weather; the complexity of negotiating the line of travel distracts from seeing pedestrians or finding destinations, and compliance is inconsistent as motorists sometimes use the chicane improperly to pass slower traffic."
The changes Ayres recommends for North Avenue, from 60th Street to Wauwatosa Avenue, would be phased in over a period of years, said Alderman Joel Tilleson, whose district includes the east end of North Avenue. The changes will likely involve restriping the road more than heavy construction, he said.
"The master plan for North Avenue recommends removing the chicanes," he said, "and not only pulling the chicanes out but putting in a four-way stop at both 72nd and 64th (streets)."
These will be among the first changes made, he said.
The four-way stops are "going to be monumental for slowing traffic down and making it easier for people to cross North Avenue," he said.
What people want, and don't
By pulling the chicanes out, parking space increases, Tilleson said.
More distinct bike lanes also would be striped under the plan, and are another element that has a "taming" effect on traffic, Tilleson said.
"We're hearing from the businesses that they want additional parking. People that are visiting the area and coming in from outside of Milwaukee want to know where the parking is versus having to drive into side neighborhoods to find it," he said.
Some elements may not be as welcomed.
Fewer left-turn opportunities are likely - possibly at 68th and 60th streets, and Wauwatosa Avenue - the plan says. The chicanes provide a turning lane every other block.
"The whole idea is to slow down North Avenue … and that's going to be controversial," said Alderman Peter Donegan, who represents the south side of North in the East Town area.
Conflicting ideals
North has two uses that are sometimes in conflict.
The flourishing business district of East Town mostly serves neighborhood residents, who compete for use of the avenue with through-travelers, who are may not be interested in slowing down or stopping.
"Those of us who live on the north and south of North Avenue, between 60th and 76th, we have a strong consensus that says we want to make that a very healthy commercial district, one that primarily serves the surrounding neighborhoods," Donegan said.
The city's plan for East Town confirms this, he said.
"We have to make this commercial district more accessible and more friendly to its neighborhoods."

Llorens Ortega-Lobo meeting was recognition of the Honduran government
TEGUCIGALPA - The U.S. ambassador in Tegucigalpa, Hugo Llorens, said today that the meeting held in Managua on Friday, the presidents of Nicaragua and Honduras, Daniel Ortega and Porfirio Lobo, was a recognition of that Government to the new administration in Honduras.
"If you see what happened on Friday, was very positive, and I think that in itself is a recognition of the Government of Nicaragua to the Government of Honduras," he told HRN radio Llorens to Tegucigalpa, in reference to meeting Ortega and Wolf.
The president of Honduras, Llorens said, "just had a very positive meeting in Nicaragua, where he was President and President Ortega Lobo six hours talking, I understand, had meetings very frank and very friendly."
"We focus our discussions on the importance of resuming what the Central American integration process, which has been stalled for reasons known to all, and we need to resume the process with a view to strengthening integration," Ortega said in a statement to reporters in public Managua, after a meeting with Wolf, who was received with hugs and a smile.
Moreover, the U.S. ambassador in Tegucigalpa said the government's progress in integrating Wolf of the Truth Commission would seek to clarify the events surrounding the overthrow of Zelaya.
"Much has been achieved in establishing the Commission, one of whose goals is" something like that (the overthrow of Zelaya) will never happen again "and will also be" a mechanism for strengthening democracy in Honduras, "said the diplomat.
The creation of the Truth Commission in the first half of this year, was established by the agreement signed on October 30, 2009 by delegations of Zelaya and the then de facto president, Roberto Micheletti, seeking to overcome the political crisis caused by the coup.
The coordinator of the Commission is former Vice President Eduardo Stein of Guatemala; also a member of the Canadian diplomat Michael Kergin and is awaiting the appointment of the third international member.
The Hondurans are the leading members of the National Autonomous University of Honduras, Julieta Castellanos, Jorge and former rector Casco. ACAN-EFE

I just did a cut out from the 2nd floor of a home & picked up a smell different from the other jobs I've done. These bees have a burnt smell to them. This scent persists in the remote spot I keep them to insure I don't contaminate other hives. While I'm quite aware of the pleasant scent they give off when they get a new hive body offered when they swarm, this scorched odor is new to me. Can any of you offer an answer on what I'm smelling?

Janet Dunn: In her own words
"Story telling was always a way that you passed down a little bit of history," says children's librarian Janet Dunn, who holds regular picture book story time at the Westwood Public Library.
Her favorite children's book is "999 Tadpoles," a Japanese picture book by Ken Kimura that tells the tale of two parent frogs who are overwhelmed by their 999 tadpole babies. The book teaches kids to never underestimate the quick wits of 999 young frogs as they make their way out of the pond they were born in.
"I like to see that little light bulb go off in the kids when they find something they really like," says Dunn, a Westwood resident who has filled the role of children's librarian in the borough for six years.
She feels that literacy should start early, and the earlier the better.
"It really helps when they do start school," notes Dunn.
Q: If you had to give advice to an aspiring children's book author and artist, what would you say?
A: For the author, if they are writing a picture book, to try to use a cadence or rhyming in your writing and it shouldn't be text heavy because kids can't sit too long. You need to be able to read it in a few minutes. For the artist, the kids are almost an open book when it comes to artwork; if you can almost tell the story with just the picture and not the words.
Q: As more and more books are becoming digitalized, how do you see libraries evolving in the future?
A: I see libraries around for a very long time. There is something about holding a book that people love. There is nothing like having a book in your hand. And teachers still require kids to find print sources.
Q: What's your favorite part of your job?
A: Just interacting with the kids. Doing story times.
Q: Why did you choose this career?
A: It found me. I started here ten years ago as the business manager. I liked it her so much I decided to get my masters. It was an easy transition. It did find me. I did not expect to be a librarian.
Q: What's your least favorite part of your job?
A: I just like everything I do.

- What Is the Current Status of the FTAA Negotiations?
- What Are the Alternatives?
The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) is the expansion of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to every country in Central America, South America and the Caribbean, except Cuba. Negotiations began right after the launch of NAFTA in 1994 and are set to be completed in 2005.
What Are the Similarities Between FTAA and NAFTA?
The FTAA relies on NAFTA rules for guidance in the negotiations. The proposed agreement is essentially NAFTA on steroids. But NAFTA has proven a nightmare for working families and the environment.
The FTAA will impose the failed NAFTA model of increased privatization and deregulation hemisphere-wide. The nine working groups set up to negotiate the FTAA correspond closely to the chapters of NAFTA and cover the following topics: agriculture, competition policy, dispute settlement, government procurement, intellectual property rights, investment, market access, services, subsidies and anti-dumping. FTAA would deepen the negative effects of NAFTA we've seen in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. over the past eight years and expand NAFTA's damage to an additional 31 countries.
The FTAA will empower corporations to constrain governments from setting standards for public health and safety, to safeguard their workers, and to ensure corporations do not pollute the communities in which they operate. Effectively, FTAA rules will handcuff governments' ability to pass public interest laws. The agreement will enhance corporate power at the expense of citizens throughout the Americas.
How Has NAFTA Affected Working People in the US and Mexico?
When NAFTA was under consideration by the US Congress, the agreement's backers promised big job gains along both sides of the border. This hasn't occurred.
In the US, an estimated 766,000 jobs have disappeared since NAFTA as companies relocate to Mexico to take advantage of weaker labor standards and lower wages. When workers look for new jobs, they often end up in the service sector, where wages are 23 percent lower than in manufacturing. Also, unionization efforts are often undermined by threats to transfer production unless employees end their organizing attempts. According to a Cornell University study, two-thirds of manufacturing and communication companies faced with union organizing campaigns since NAFTA threatened workers with moving their jobs abroad.
Workers in Mexico have also suffered from NAFTA. In December 1994 Mexico was forced to devalue the peso to attract the foreign investment needed for a free trade, export-oriented economy. This devastated the Mexican economy, pushing 8 million families out of the middle class and into poverty. Over one million more Mexicans work for less than the minimum wage of $3.40 per day now than before NAFTA. Approximately 28,000 small businesses in Mexico have shut down due to the entrance of foreign companies. Manufacturing wages dropped 21 percent from 1995 to 1999, and have only started to recover.
The FTAA would intensify NAFTA's "race to the bottom." Under FTAA, corporations will pit workers in Mexico against even more desperate workers in Guatemala or Haiti. Already, Mexico is losing maquiladora jobs to countries with cheaper wages. In the last two years, 280,000 jobs have vanished with the closure of some 350 maquiladoras.
How Has NAFTA Affected the Public Health and the Environment in the US and Mexico?
Mexico, along with most of Latin America, lacks strong environmental laws. And those regulations that do exist often go unenforced.
The increase in manufacturing along the US-Mexico border region has exacerbated environmental and public health threats in the area. Most maquilador waste goes unaccounted for; according to EPA officials, only a fraction of all waste is properly disposed of. No wonder that in some border areas birth defects are twice the US national average. In some border counties, the rate of hepatitis is two or three times the national average due to lack of proper sewage treatment.
Also, the export-driven growth model perpetuated by NAFTA is destroying ecosystems around Mexico as the country cuts down its forests to earn hard currency. Since NAFTA,15 US wood product companies have set up operations in Mexico, and logging there has increased dramatically. In the state of Guerrero, massive clear cutting has led to soil erosion and habitat destruction.
Who Is Involved in the FTAA Negotiations, and How Did They Get Started?
High on their NAFTA victory, U.S. officials organized a Summit of the Americas in Miami in December 1994 to launch discussions on a hemisphere-wide "free trade" zone. After the "Miami Summit," however, little more was done on FTAA until the "Santiago Summit" in Chile in April 1998. At this second summit, the 34 nations set up a Trade Negotiations Committee (TNC), consisting of vice ministers of trade from every country. Since then, negotiators have been meeting every few months.
Despite repeated calls for the open and democratic development of trade policy, the FTAA negotiations have been conducted without citizen input. A system has been set up to solicit comments from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but there is no mechanism to incorporate the public's concerns into the actual negotiations. The general public has been given nothing more than a suggestion box.
At the same time, however, hundreds of corporate representatives are advising the US negotiators. Under the so-called "trade advisory committee system," more than 500 corporate representatives have the security clearance to get advance access to FTAA negotiating texts. While citizens are left in the dark, corporations are helping to write the rules for the FTAA.
How Will the FTAA Impact Public Services and Government Safeguards?
FTAA negotiators have included services as one of the many items covered by the treaty's rules. Under the FTAA, trade in services would be "liberalized" to create "certainty and transparency" for investors. In practice, this means that government health, labor, and environmental regulations would be eroded, all under the guise of reducing "barriers to trade." The proposed FTAA rules would also speed up the process of deregulation and privatization already underway throughout the hemisphere, a process that is eliminating public oversight of essential services.
Essential Social Services Endangered:
The FTAA will contain a series of commitments to "liberalize" services, which is much like the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) within the WTO. "Services" is a broad category that includes education, health care, environmental services, energy and water utilities, postal services and anything else that you can't drop on your foot. Possible effects of the FTAA services agreement include:
- Removal of national licensing standards for medical, legal and other key professionals, allowing doctors licensed in one country to practice in any country, even if their level of training or technological sophistication is different.
- Privatization of public schools and prisons in the US, opening the door to greater corporate control, corruption and the temptation to cut critical corners (such as medical care for inmates or upkeep of safe school facilities) in the interests of improving profit margins.
- Privatization of postal services. Already, the Canadian Postal Service is under attack by US multinational UPS, which claims that the Canadian government's subsidies to the postal carrier constitute unfair competition and a barrier to trade. If the tribunal upholds the UPS claim, government participation in any service that competes with the private sector will be threatened.
Public Interest Laws Threatened:
The UPS challenge to the very existence of the Canadian Postal Service is taking place under the so-called "investor-to-state" lawsuits established by NAFTA's Chapter 11. These lawsuits give corporations the right to sue governments for any action that may decrease the corporation's future profits. For example, if a multinational health care company feels its operations are being curtailed by local labor laws, it can sue the government for compensation.
FTAA negotiators want to include investor-to-state lawsuits in the upcoming treaty. A look at some past lawsuits illustrates how these suits are being used to elevate corporate profits above all other interests.
- Ethyl Corporation vs. Canada. In 1998, the Virginia-based Ethyl Corporation forced the Canadian government to drop its existing ban on the chemical MMT, a fuel additive that had been linked to nervous system damage. Although the US Environmental Protection Agency already bans MMT in the US, the NAFTA tribunal ruled that the Canadian government's prohibition was impacting Ethyl's current and future profits. The Canadian government reversed its ban and was also forced to apologize and pay $13 million to the corporation in damages.
- Methanex Corporation vs. US. In 1999, in a strikingly similar case, a Canadian corporation, Methanex, used NAFTA's Chapter 11 to sue the US government for $970 million because of a California phase-out of the gasoline additive MTBE. California Governor Gray Davis ordered the phase-out because it had been shown that MTBE, a known toxin, was leaking into the state's ground water. Methanex, which makes the M in MTBE, claims that the state's move caused a decline in its stock prices. Methanex is basing its $970 million claim on the profits the company says it will lose over a 20-year period. The case is still under consideration. If Methanex wins, the US government will essentially be paying a polluter not to pollute.
- Loewen Group vs. US. A Canadian-based funeral corporation, Loewen Group, used the NAFTA investor protections to sue the US government after a Mississippi court found Loewen guilty of malicious and fraudulent business practices that unfairly targeted a local company. The jury in Mississippi levied $500 million in damages against Loewen, and now the corporation is seeking $725 in compensation from the US government. Loewen argues that the very existence of the state court system violates its NAFTA rights. The FTAA rules on services will open the door to a wholesale assault on government health, safety, labor, and environmental regulations. The FTAA rules on investment will apply to "all measures affecting trade in services taken by governmental authorities at all levels."
In plainer English: To meet the FTAA requirements, countries will have to change their laws governing the obligations placed on business. The FTAA will prevent governments—national, state, or local—from passing regulations that are "more burdensome than necessary." That frighteningly vague definition will discourage governments from passing and enforcing meaningful environmental, health, and labor laws.
How Will The FTAA Spread GMOs?
The US is trying to use the FTAA as a way to force all countries in the hemisphere to accept biotechnology and genetically modified (GM) foods in which unregulated US corporations have taken a lead. Yet food security organizations all over the world agree that these technologies will increase hunger in poor nations. Being forced to buy expensive patented seeds every season, rather than saving and planting their own, will force traditional subsistence farmers in the developing world into dependency on transnational corporations and closer to the brink of starvation. If the U.S. position wins out, FTAA will promote the interests of biotech and agribusiness giants like Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Cargill and Monsanto over the interests of hungry people in developing nations.
The US is also trying to expand NAFTA's corporate protectionism rules on patents to the whole hemisphere. These rules give a company with a patent in one country the monopoly marketing rights to the item throughout the region. These rules are enforced with cash fines and criminal penalties, making these rules even harsher than the WTO regulations, which have been used as justification for pharmaceutical companies to quash compulsory licensing mechanisms to allow competitor companies to manufacture a drug in exchange for a fee for "renting" the patent. Monopoly patent control allows pharmaceutical corporations to keep drug prices high and block production of generic versions of life-saving drugs, which spells disaster for the ill and impoverished, especially in developing nations. These rules also allow companies to "bioprospect" and lock down patents for Indigenous medicines that are considered "traditional knowledge," effectively robbing Indigenous people of their cultural heritage to fatten corporate wallets.
How Will the FTAA Undermine Real Development that Benefits Everyone?
Our hemisphere is characterized by enormous inequalities among countries. The United States has a GDP equal to 75 percent of the total goods and services produced in the hemisphere. Its capacity to mobilize technological and capital resources is far greater than that of most of the Americas. But the FTAA would establish a system under which poor countries and wealthy countries alike are held to the same standards. This is short-sighted: You can't ask countries to compete on a level playing field when the terrain is already so badly skewed. Asking Bolivia‹a land-locked, impoverished country with an economy just 2 percent the size of the US's‹to meet the same requirements as the US doesn't make sense.
Foreign debt handicaps the hopes of many of the FTAA countries by greatly reducing governments' capacity to invest in key areas of development such as housing, health, education, and the environment. The debt burden forces governments to divert scarce financial resources to pay off the combined costs of the debt and the interest payments from the debt. Structural adjustment policies mandated by the IMF and the World Bank throughout Latin America during the past two decades have further weakened the ability of governments to chart equitable development strategies. The FTAA will lock in place‹and create legal structures to enforce‹the negative impacts of structural adjustment programs.
If NAFTA and Mercosur (an existing "free trade" zone including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay) are any indication of what FTAA countries have in store for them, the FTAA will hamper real, sustainable and equitable development. Both NAFTA and Mercosur include measures to deregulate foreign investment, making it difficult to tailor foreign investment according to local needs. Rules that promote foreign investment are often in direct conflict with local economic development policies. A common provision of international investment agreements‹"national treatment"‹requires foreign investors to be treated no differently than local investors. Policies that limit grazing land or fisheries to local citizens or forbid foreign investors from owning domestic utilities, for example, violate national treatment. If countries cannot regulate foreign investment, then they will be unable to implement a coordinated development strategy. They will thus be forced to continue to lower wages, working conditions, and environmental regulations in increasingly desperate moves to attract mobile international capital.
If the FTAA Is Detrimental Socially, Economically and Environmentally, Why Is Every Country in the Western Hemisphere Negotiating on it?
Not everyone loses in "free trade" agreements. Corporations and wealthy business owners from all participating countries—who are helping to write the rules of these agreements—stand to gain financially from a system that puts their interests above all others. Politicians often own or have large sums of money invested in corporations and therefore have personal interests at stake.
What Is the Current Status of the FTAA Negotiations?
Negotiations began in 1994 and have continued regularly for ten years. During three Ministerial meetings – in Quebec City in April 2000, Buenos Aires in April 2001, and in Quito, Ecuador in October 2002—negotiators tried to work out differences in the draft texts among widespread protests. But the differences among the negotiators' positions has widened over the years rather than narrowing. More progressive governments have been elected in countries like Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Argentina – that weren't willing to negotiate their countries' futures under the FTAA. At the Ministerial in Miami in November 2003, negotiators vastly scaled back the scope of the proposed FTAA because of the growing divergences.
Then in Puebla, Mexico in February 2004 and Buenos Aires, Argentina in April, 2004 the negotiations faltered. The deadline for signing the deal of January 1, 2005 passed without any agreement. Negotiations are currently suspended (as of March 2004) – a huge victory for social movements throughout the hemisphere who have made stopping the FTAA our #1 priority.
At this point, the Bush Administration is using "divide-and-conquer" tactics to piecemeal the FTAA together with more compliant countries. An agreement between the U.S. and Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic – the U.S.-D.R.-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) was signed by those governments in 2004. CAFTA may go before the U.S. Congress for ratification in 2005, and it is a "NAFTA expansion" we must stop to stop the FTAA.
And in November 2004, the U.S. announced the beginning of negotiations with Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia for an Andean Free Trade Agreement – a clear attempt to break Andean unity with Venezuela. Negotiations for the AFTA are ongoing, but social movements are geared up to fight it.
FTAA negotiations could be reinvigorated at a future date, especially if the Central America Free Trade Agreement is passed.
Policy makers and pundits often try to make it seem that top-down, corporate globalization is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, the current economic processes known as "globalization" have been defined and driven by a very small number of people. United, citizens around the world can create a kind of grassroots globalization—a people's globalization—that puts economic, social and political justice at the center of trade and investment. Citizens groups from across the Western Hemisphere have written an "Alternative Agreement for the Americas" that offers a picture of what socially responsible and environmentally sustainable commerce would look like. You can find the document h [3]ere [4] on the Global Exchange website.
As detailed in this proposal, governments should retain the right to impose performance requirements on investors, as well as maintain protections for small and medium-scale producers and key sectors in their respective national development plans. Countries have the right, and the responsibility, to maintain food and nutritional security (such as excluding basic grains from liberalization measures). Any hemisphere wide economic pact should reinforce, not undermine, internationally recognized accords such as International Labor Organization Conventions, the United Nations Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights. The process for developing economic policy must be democratized by opening up the negotiations to all the hemisphere's peoples, not just a relatively small, elite and well-connected group of investors. The future stability of the region depends on it.

PRGS FYQ1 Rev Beats, Q2 View Light
Shares of software tools vendor Progress Software (PRGS) are up a penny in late trading at $22.50 after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue that topped analysts' estimates, missed profit-per-share expectations by a penny, and offered an outlook for revenue this quarter
Revenue in the three months ended in February rose 2%, year over year, to $89.27 million, yielding EPS of 23 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $86.3 million and 24 cents.
CEO Phil Pead remarked,
Our performance in the quarter reflects continued momentum as we execute on our strategic plan. Our initiatives to improve our operating margin are well under way and I am pleased with our early progress. In addition, we have begun to focus on building our foundation for future revenue growth by releasing new and innovative functionality across our solution suites and significantly increasing our customer engagement.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue essentially flat with a year ago revenue number of $78.4 million. That number reflects the divestiture of some of Progress's businesses in the intervening time frame, and so it does not match year-ago reported revenue of $114.6 million.
The forecast is below the Street consensus for revenue this quarter of $82.1 million.
Progress management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations page.
Progress shares are unchanged at $22.28 in late trading.

In today's fast paced and constantly changing market, continuous innovation is critical to any company's success. Timely innovation boosts market share, sharpens competitiveness, lifts earnings and propels careers. CFO's can play a critical role, but for them, supporting innovation presents a particular challenge—and opportunity. Hear what PwC and Wharton faculty have to say about the importance of the CFO leading the charge for innovation.
According to PwC, faculty at Wharton and top-performing finance executives, embracing innovation requires monitoring risk closely without smothering ideas. For finance executives who have spent the past five years cutting costs and managing cash flow, the balancing act is as formidable as it is essential. The finance department should shed the perception that it bogs down new ideas, and should ensure that companies have the processes and expertise to decide when to invest, and where.

Farmers try to beat the heat
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Heat waves are not anything new for farmers, but the high temperatures still call plenty of attention to farm fields.
Marc Thiel has been farming since 1992. His fields include barley, alfalfa, wheat and potatoes. He said heat waves are as stressful as they are hot.
"You just irrigate across, shut everything off, and transport it back across the field," said Thiel. "There just hasn't been a break."
He said this summer has been tough. When the temperatures rise, so do the costs.
"It's hard to watch the meter go around and around," said Thiel. "And write really big checks every month."
Thiel said potatoes, wheat and barley are in their reproductive stage, meaning everything is being watered vigorously.
"It's really important that they not get stressed in that reproductive stage," said Thiel.
For now, Thiel will put the necessary work in to reap the benefits in September.
"You got to look at it as an investment," said Thiel. "No water, no yield."

text: Visiting my local Chevy dealer today getting my wifes HHR serviced I got a chance to get an indepth look, under the hood and on the service rack of a new Chevy Cruise Turbo Diesel that was brought in by a regional rep. to give Chevy dealers a close look at the car. After introducing myself and letting him know we were starting our search for a vehicle to replace the wifes HHR the rep was nice enough to take me on a test drive and let me put a few miles on the car myself. For such a small engine the Cruise TBD has good launch and pickup at speed, you actually get a small kick in the seat when the turbo increases boost while driving at hwy speeds then speeding up more. Launch from a standing start wasnt "tire blistering race car" but it can produce tire spin and I believe drivers a little more agressive habits (meaning someone driving without a Chevy rep sitting next to you giving you odd looks) could get some tire smoking starts. One of the more positive aspects of the vehicle is the fact that the Turbo and injectors are an existing product that have the posibility to be upgraded, now all you need is a better intake and exhaust and this little car might become a decent performer with capability of getting 40+ mpg.

The X.Org project provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the freedesktop.org community. The X.Org Foundation is the educational non-profit corporation whose Board serves this effort, and whose Members lead this work.
The latest release of the full X.Org stack is X11R7.7, though many individual X.Org modules have had new versions released since then - see the xorg-announce archives for details of those releases. The next full stack release will be X11R7.8. Information about all releases is available. (Important: If you have an older release, please see the Security page for information on security updates.)

Reviews of this property
The description of the apartments is not correct. We stayed at the big one apartment on the 1st floor that consists of 3 rooms. We are absolutely not satisfied with the stay because of:
1) it was said in the description that apartment consists of 3 bedrooms. Actually there are 3 rooms: one bedroom with one bed for 1 person, one room with 1 big bed (for 2) and one folding bed and a kitchen where is another bed for 2.
2) no balcony!!! In the description it was said that there is a balcony. Actually the balcony is in another (small) apartment.
3) very dirty. When we came we spent 2 hours washing and cleaning the apartment (especially the fans)
4) no air conditions-only one fan in each room.
5)in the apartments is only 1 window to the street on the 2 meters height- in the kitchen. So no fresh air and day light in Other rooms.
6) the most important thing: all the rooms have doors and windows in other rooms: no corridor. So if you stay at the first room and you need to get to the kitchen you have to pass through the second room. That doesn't give a feeling of privacy and comfort.
7) very bad condition of plumbing: impossible to fix the shower, small bathroom, no washing machine
8) the towels and bed linen are old and ragged, the furniture and equipment are old.
9) despite the fact that the apartment is for 6 persons maximum the refrigerator is for 2 or even 1 person maximum- really small and not roomy.
At the same time the apartments are very well situated in the old town not far from the city beach, the host is friendly and helpful : she gave us blender and cleaned the baby's clothes andoresented us an olive oil.
I would never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.
Perfect location in the old town of Chania. The apartment is spacious with basic equipment and rustic style. All the facilities, including supermarket and bus station, are really close. I do recommend this place!
no air conditioning,very hot.ants everywhere.problems with electricity.the hostess and her daughter live in the same apartment with the dog.The flat is suitable for families with young children.photos do not correspond to reality.
We had a great time at Chrischulas's place. It's a nice, spacious and well-equiped apartment in the first floor of a big house, moreover it's really close to the bus station and to the old town of Chania! And she was very gentle and helpful, thank you so much, I do recommend this place!
Amazing time in Chania!
Apartament well-equipped, is in ideal place in very atmospheric and charming street of old town, where can find very good restaurants.
Owner of the Apartament very helpful and nice. At the beginning Chris (the Owner) was waiting of us on the Bus station, to show us the way to the Apartament, and gave us all informations about city we needed and in the end allowed us to stay in this Apartament till evening, because late evening we had a flight back. Thank you!
Very good starting point for all sorts of excursions; Although the apartment is located right in the old town, very quiet. The landlady Chris is very friendly, always concerned about the welfare of their guests and can give good advice. Recommended!
Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für allerlei Ausflüge; obwohl die Wohnung direkt in der Altstadt liegt, sehr ruhig. Die Vermieterin Chris ist sehr freundlich, stets um das Wohl ihrer Gäste bemüht und kann gute Tipps geben. Empfehlenswert!
The house and the apartments are highly recommended! The very nice landlady Chris lives in the same house and will help you with advice and assistance at all. The apartments are very nice and cozy furnishings. We stayed in the downstairs apartment and had 5 people enough space. The location is great - it is in a flash at the port and the supermarket is only 5 minutes away. It was a very nice holiday - like staying with friends! Thank you Chrischula !!!
Das Haus und die Wohnungen sind sehr zu empfehlen! Die sehr nette Vermieterin Chris wohnt im gleichen Haus und hilft einem mit Rat und Tat bei allem. Die Wohnungen sind sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet. Wir waren in der unteren Wohnung und hatten mit 5 Leuten ausreichend Platz. Die Lage ist super - man ist im Nu am Hafen und der Supermarkt ist auch nur 5 Minuten entfernt. Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub - wie bei Freunden! Danke Dir Chrischula!!!
We had wonderful days in Chania. Chrischula is a nice host, is preparing to help and give information when needed. Nice house in the old city.
We hebben heerlijke dagen gehad in Chania. Chrischula is een leuke gastvrouw, bereidt om te helpen en informatie te geven als dat nodig is. Leuke woning in de oude stad.
Apartment very well located in the old city full of street cafes, shops and museums. Designed in traditional Greek style, but there is everything necessary for life. Hostess friendly and sociable. Holidays in this part of Crete very much. Five stars.
Апартаменты очень удачно расположены в Старом Городе, полном уличных кафе, магазинов и музеев. Дизайн выполнен в традиционном греческом стиле, но есть все необходимое для жизни. Хозяйка приветлива и общительна. Отдых в этой части Крита очень понравился. Five stars.
Chrischulas accommodation is very spacious, beautiful, lovingly decorated and has an ideal location for exploring the old town of Chania. The book and the contact were straightforward and very pleasant. We would definitely come back and would recommend it.
Chrischulas Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig, schön, liebevoll eingerichtet und hat eine ideale Lage zur Erkundung der Altstadt Chanias. Die Buchung und der Kontakt waren unkompliziert und sehr angenehm. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können es nur empfehlen.

(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
Tomato eggs is a popular Chinese recipe–a humble dish that is often served at home. Called 蕃茄炒蛋 or 西红柿炒蛋 in China, tomato eggs is basically egg omelet with tomatoes. As simple as it sounds, tomato eggs is hard to master. I have seen many tomato eggs that are not properly cooked–too runny, watery, or simply overcooked.
The good news is that I am going to share with you my tomato eggs recipe and the easy way to prepare this Chinese dish. It takes only a few ingredients: eggs, tomatoes, salt and sugar for flavoring, and chopped scallions for garnishing.
Tomato eggs is a great Chinese recipe that you should add to your cooking repertoire. I love it very much. Below is my tomato eggs recipe, try it out and happy cooking!

Re: Hi from Poland
Hi ata,
Welcome to the forums!
I am sure you will find lots of recipe ideas in the forum, and lots of people interested in yours
I loved the poppy cake in Poland when I was there (and usually I hate poppy seeds in cake....)!
Good luck with your baking,

Re: Hi from Poland
Thanx SusanneH for reply!
I must admit you suprised me a little with your opinion about poppy cake.
Well, it is a very good cake but also very sweet and 'heavy'.
And I know what I am talking about because we have it on Xmas time and it happened that party ends with stomach ache
But generally - I recommend poppy cake.
And what I really like are muffins

Re: Hi from Poland
Hi Ata.
Welcome. I have only been on this site for a few weeks. I would love ur recipe of Poppy Cake (I love poppy seeds) if you haven't put it on here. My father is Polish and all his brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces still live there, but having an Australian mother I never got any Polish recipes cooked for me.
Happy cooking,
