Reviews of this property
Simon is a very friendly and warm-hearted host! He gave us many insider tips for our trip to Amsterdam. The location of the apartment is perfect!
The location is excellent, with tram 4 to the Central Station just a 2-minute walk away and two more lines close by for going to sites and museums in other areas of the city. Although there is no kitchen as such, all necessary equipment is available in the room, so there is no problem at all for breakfast or snacks during the day. The owners provide breakfast (fresh bread every morning, cheese, butter, yoghurt, eggs, jam, coffee, tea, oranges for juice). The room is comfortable, with the shower cabin inside and the toilet just outside on the hall. For us it was a great opportunity to see what it is like to live in an old traditional building in Amsterdam. The winding stairs are really narrow, so you should plan and pack accordingly. The owners are very kind.
Our stay in the Appartement of Simon and Gisele was very grateful. They are very friendly and obliging.
The flat is in a Perfect Location in Amsterdam. And the breakfast was also good!
The Appartement is recommendable of course!
Gisèle and Simon are very kind and welcoming hosts, the room is cosy and spacious, and also very well situated for anyone who wishes to stroll around Amsterdam. We had a very pleasant stay.
One thing that might put some travellers off, are the three rather steep flights of stairs you have to to climb to the room.
The room is very quiet and central.
After a good breakfast - even with freshly squeezed orange juice - you can from here Amsterdam on foot, by bike or public transport. Several tram stops are around the corner.
The host is very nice, gave us lots of tips. It was a wonderful stay in Amsterdam. Many thanks to Simon. Many greetings from Annett and Anja
Das Zimmer liegt sehr ruhig und zentral.
Nach einem guten Frühstück - sogar mit frisch gepresstem Orangensaft - kann man von hier aus Amsterdam zu Fuß, mit dem Rad oder öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erkunden. Mehrere Straßenbahnhaltestellen sind um die Ecke.
Der Gastgeber ist sehr nett, hat uns viele Tipps gegeben. Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in Amsterdam. Vielen Dank an Simon. Viele Grüße von Annett und Anja
The apartment is quiet and centrally located. The Amsterdam highlights can easily be reached on foot. The nearest tram stop is just a stone's throw away. Very nice landlord. The room was clean, but could use some newer furniture tolerated.

Make Changes. Get Results.
The UAS Academic Recovery Program is designed to assist students to return to and maintain academic standing. If you are on academic probation, participation in this program is a must! Your academic standing has significant impact on funding for college (now and in the future), living on campus and ultimately, your ability to graduate with a degree.
Students actively engaged in the Academic Recovery Program will complete a self-assessment, meet with an academic advisor, set goals and lay out a plan for academic success. In short, all plans are driven by you, specific to your needs, and your advisor will be there to support you along the way.
Get started!
- The first step is to take the self-assessment.
- Once completed, make an appointment with your academic advisor. Send your assessment to your advisor in advance of the meeting, or bring the completed document to your appointment.
If you're unsure who your advisor is, call (907) 796-6000.
The Academic Recovery Program has six key program components: a syllabus, personal assessment, goal setting exercises, a "toolbox" of resources, identification and referral to university resources and reflection. You will find supporting documents for these components here. Check in with your Academic Recovery Program advisor if you have questions about the documents.

Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 18, 2005)--San Antonio native Sonya Medina, special assistant to President Bush for domestic policy and director of projects for the First Lady, met Friday with Ricardo Romo, president of UTSA, and Misty Sailors, UTSA assistant professor of interdisciplinary learning and teaching, to discuss the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Sailors is working with rural classroom teachers in South Africa to address the HIV/AIDS issue and is developing math, science and health learning materials for children.
Medina has traveled with the First Lady to Africa and recently met Sailors at the United States Agency for International Development's Textbook and Learning Materials post-award conference in Washington, D.C.
"Education for all children in Africa, especially young girls, is imperative," Medina said. "The President and Mrs. Bush are committed to this cause and hope that all children will one day be able to lead healthy and hopeful lives."
While in San Antonio to see family, Medina visited UTSA to gather more information about Sailors' research and work in South Africa.

Original post made by Daughter, Midtown, on Nov 19, 2007
My mother's friends do not seem to be too happy with Medi-Cal. As a result my mom is not too keen on going to Medi-Cal .. I am trying to find out more information !
Is it worth keeping the BlueCross .. its an expensive affair, but is it worth paying the monthly premium if the Medi-Cal is not going to suffice?

Do you mean MediCARE or MediCAL? There's a big difference. Citizens are eligible for MediCARE at age sixty-five. Most private insurance companies e.g. Blue Cross become the secondary insurance to MediCARE and will not pay anything after age sixty-five unless the insured carries Medicare first. Medicare pays 80% of the Medicare Allowed amount. then the insured pays the other 20%. If a provider 'accepts Medicare assignment", then Medicare specifies what the provider (like the Palo Alto Medical Clinic or Stanford) can charge - and it's much lower than the 'retail price' of the service. THEN after a yearly deductible (which I think this year is $200) , Medicare pays 80% and the insured or his/her secondary insurance e.g. Blue Cross pays all or part of the rest. Your mother can get insurance counseling at Avenidas Senior Center downtown.
MediCal is for the disabled, low income, and various other qualifications. It is a state-subsidized insurance propgram., Medicare is Federal.

I think Medi-Cal looks to be reimbursed from the estate of the patient, so good estate planning is important

I'm about to turn 65 this year, and my brain has been frying trying to understand how Medicare will work with my hp retiree insurance. I've moved out of Palo Alto, so am not near Avenidas. The printed info from Medicare and HP is not helpful. "Medicare and You" seems to assume the reader already knows a great deal, instead of knowing zero.
It looks like the doctors get stiffed, getting a very low reimbursement. Certainly there are numerous doctors in my area who do not take Medicare patients.
Is there a way for the patient to provide an extra payment to the doctor? So far I am heating No. That would seem that the only way to get good medical care and have your doctor treated fairly is for the patient to pay the entire amount, going in as if they had no insurance... Yikes.
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 20, 2007 at 5:45 am
If you are 65 or older you should be covered by Medicare. I get my mom a "supplemental insurance policy" from Blue Cross, which will cover the deductible expenses, and if the doctor/hospital charges more than what Medicare covers. Blue Cross offers different types of supplemental insurance, so you can see which policy works best for your situation.

If you have turned 65 and you are a recipient of Medicare, it is advisable to get supplemental medical insurance. However, there are many different supplemental insurances offered at many different prices.
When I was 65 I really shopped around to get the best and most reasonable supplemental insurance. I have an HMO through Healthnet which allows me to go to a PAMF physician and covers my Part D drug plan.
If you want a PPO which will allow you to go to any Doctor of your choice you will pay much higher premiums. Kaiser also offers good HMO plans for Seniors.

Trudy, there are many Doctors around who are no longer affiliated with insurance plans and offer private coverage for a fee usually around $300 - $400 per month.
a resident of Midtown
on Nov 20, 2007 at 8:12 am
I am specifically referring to Medi-Cal. My mother is not a USA citizen.
The question that we are faced with is: Is it worth going the Medi-Cal route when we have a private insurance. Yes, its costs an arm & leg per month, but my concern is the limited coverage/not getting to good doctors due to the reimbursement problems as time goes by.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Nov 20, 2007 at 8:48 am
Trudy, MOST if not all company retiree insurance plans stipulate that the retiree MUST have Medicare and then the company retiree insurance is SECONDARY or supplemental. It's really easy. The H-P insurance will - or should - set up what is known as 'Medicare crossover" and Medicare automatically sends the bill to your H-P insurance. (if they don't, then you handle the paper work after Medicare pays.)
Here's how it works. You go to an MD or hospital that accepts Medicare. Virtually all hospitals do. That 'provider' sends the bill to federal Medicare which has offices in different parts of the country. There is Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B - plus Medicare Part D (drugs) if you need it. Part A is for hospital charges, Part B is for MD's, lab work, etc. Take BOTH. Many company retiree insurance programs have a prescription coverage so you don't need Part D.
(and for legal purposes if you don't need Part D which is expensive,you'll get a letter from HP saying you don't need Part D.)
There is a 'deductible' for Part A - hospitals - which this year is about $900. Your 'secondary" e.g. H-P insurance may help pay that. There is a $200 deductible this year for Part D. Those are PER YEAR. Once again, your supplemental insurance, from wherever, may pay that.
Your reteiree company benefits office should be able to help you .
Please ask your retiree benefits office if its retiree insurance is in effect if you don't have Medicare. I'll bet it doesn't. This is really all very easy. We've been doing it for 23 years.
I have HealthNet Seniority Plus retiree insurance through my company. I pay no premiums and $20.00 per office visit co-pay. $10 for generic Rx's. I signed over my Medicare coverage to HealthNet Seniority Plus which is a MEDICARE CHOICE plan. Other than my co-pays, I never see a bill and I am covered anywhere in the country for emergencies - out of country too. I know this is a good deal.
The Palo Alto Clinic offers HealthNet Seniority Plus for monthly premium for those who have no company retiree insurance --- which is getting more more common. E.g. one big huge company went bankrupt and cancelled the retiree insurance for it's long ago retired employees including surviving widows.
The Clinic and other facilities and senior centers offer on-site insurance counseling. Also remember that you will continue to pay the montly Medicare premiums out of your Social Security check. It was $50 a month when I retired fourteen years ago. Now it will be almost $100.00 a month this year. Neither my husband nor I could have our company retiree supplemental insurance IF we did not have Medicare FIRST.

You mean Medi-Cal ( our taxes) pays for health care to non-citizens? When did this happen? Or is it only for non-citizens who worked in the US and paid taxes as a legal resident?

Mary, thanks very much for that lucid explanation. It is a big help.
The last time I called HP HR, I got a call back from someone in India, whom I could hardly understand. Woe :-( And I thought it was bad that tech support was outsourced.

The Best 6 Fall Beers
With winter around the corner, find out the best fall beer to choose.
Mother Nature can be a cruel mistress. Just as we get used to catching a little extra Vitamin D during the day, she casts a cold, gray spell over us, leaving the lasses to cover up with big, bulky sweaters and forcing us to retreat indoors.
But she doesn't take without giving. All those layers of clothing heighten the anticipation of their removal as the lighter, crisper beers of summer have given way to brews with high concentrations of malt, spice and alcohol. These six beers will warm up any fall evening, but most are as fleeting as the fall colors. So grab them while you can still find them on shelves and before winter counterparts take their place.
Why it works: Schlafly Beer's This 8% copper colored American Ale has everything a fall liquor lover looks for in a craft beer. Its bold pumpkin squash base couples incredibly well with the nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. It's like an alcoholic pumpkin pie! Try it with: Chocolate, blackberries and beef stew
Why it works: We're not big on the pumpkin beers that crop up this time of year, but Dogfish's big Brown Ale backbone stands up well to the traces of allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Try it with: Roasted turkey, duck or lamb; pumpkin pie (duh)
Why it works: Bruery's label proclaims "We don't need pumpkins in our beer!" And thanks to 17 pounds of sweet, candied yams per barrel, this Thanksgiving brew (with hints of maple and vanilla) weighs in at a boastful 10 percent ABV. Try it with: Anything mom puts out for the Thanksgiving spread from the bird to dessert (especially pecan pie)
Why it works: Fans of the "wicked weed" rejoice as the season's harvest results in Three Floyds' heavy dose of fresh-from-the-vine American hops. We couldn't confirm if hop's cousin (cannabis) plays a part in the trippy label. Try it with: Wild mushroom risotto or butternut squash soup
Why it works: We're not alone in thinking this might be the best lager around; Full Sail took home the gold at this year's Great American Beer Fest. Lucky for us, it's available year-round. Try it with: Brats (boiled in Session Black, of course). BBQ chicken, ribs and king crab cakes are also winners.
Why it works: Your love affair with the blondes lasted all summer. With autumn upon us, say hello to Sam Adams' brunette cousin from the Old Country—the perfect sweetie to warm you on those long, dark nights. Try it with: Sweet 'n spicy sausages and any banana-based dessert

This script takes its input from a list of names in a text file which I called namefile.txt. It presents you with a menu to sort the names in alpha-betical order by firstname or surname, to search for a name in the file or to exit.
The 2 sorting parts and the exit part all work fine, however it is the search part that's giving me trouble. Here is a copy of the name list I made up;
And here is a copy of the script;
- Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#This script reads names from a file.
#It offers a menu with which you can sort the names, or search them.
%names = (); #hash of names
@raw = (); #raw words
$fn = ""; #first name
$exit = 1; #exit program
$in = ''; #temporary in
@keys = (); #temporary keys
@n = (); #temporary name
$search = ''; #thing to search for
while (<>) {
@raw = split(" ", $_);
if ($#raw == 1) { #regular case
$names{$raw[1]} = $raw[0];
} else { #build a firstname
$fn = "";
for ($i = 0; $i < $#raw; $i++) {
$fn .= $raw[$i] . " ";
$names{$raw[$#raw]} = $fn;
while ($exit) {
print "\n1. Sort names by last name\n";
print "2. Sort names by first name\n";
print "3. Search for a name\n";
print "4. Quit\n\n";
print "Choose a number: ";
chomp ($in = <STDIN>);
if ($in eq '1') { #sort and print by last name
foreach $name (sort keys %names) {
print "$name, $names{$name}\n";
} elsif ($in eq '2') { #sort and print by first name
@keys = sort { $names{$a} cmp $names{$b} } keys %names;
foreach $name (@keys) {
print "$names{$name} $name\n";
} elsif ($in eq '3') { #find a name (1 or more)
print "Search for what? ";
chomp($search = <STDIN>);
while (@n = each %names) {
if (grep /$search/, @n) {
$keys[++$#keys] = $n[0];
if (@keys) {
print "Names matched: \n";
foreach $name (sort @keys) {
print " $names{$name} $name\n";
} else {
print "None found.\n";
@keys = (); #undefine keys for next search
} elsif ($in eq '4') { #quit
$exit = 0;
} else {
print "Not a good answer. 1 to 4 please.\n";
OK, so I run the script by typing morenames.pl namefile.txt in Linux or perl morenames.pl namefile.txt in Windows (I tested both) and choose option 3. When I get asked what to look for I type ch, but the output I get is all the names but with the names including lower case ch doubled. When I redo the test I get the correct output, but still in lower case only.
- Code:
1. Sort names by last name
2. Sort names by first name
3. Search for a name
4. Quit
Choose a number: 3
Search for what? ch
Names matched:
Black Azarro
Jim Bob
Oneeyed Carmen
Ole DB
Don Donzal
Chris Gates
Slim Jim
Bill Joy
Johnny Long
Gordon Lyon
HD Moore

2. Sort names by first name
3. Search for a name
4. Quit
Choose a number: 3
Search for what? ch
Names matched:
Dennis Ritchie

Manu Zacharia
I would expect this second output the first time around. Note there is a line at the end of the loop @keys = (); Which is supposed to undefine keys for next search.
I would also expext to find Chris Gates in that list too. I tried using grep -i like I would in UNIX to ignore case sensitivity but Perl got very cross with me for doing this. Evidently grep works differently in Perl than the way it does in UNIX. I also tried many lc and uc functions on the $name, $raw and $search variables but with no success.
So my questions are;
1. How can I change the script so that the search will be case insensitive?
2. Why does the script need 2 iterations to give me decent output?
I've searched the internet for fixes of this script and found none. I will probably find an answer to this in later chapters, but I'm stubborn and want to find this out before continuing with the info I have from the chapters until now.
BTW, I was using Perl 5.8.8 on BackTrack 2 , and ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 on Windows XP Pro if that interests anyone.
There are 10 kinds of people, those that understand binary, and those that don't.

I added one empty bar in between brood comb and nectar and 3 on the far end as they were up against the follower board. I realize that I will not see any honey this first year, but I would have tought they might have piut up a bit more stores than that?

Two Disturbing Trends
11/18/07—Two Disturbing Trends Continue vs. Browns
I've mentioned several times over the last few weeks:
• The Ravens are a mirror image with respect to last year in that their blitzes have been beaten regularly
• The Ravens are giving up a mess of yards on 1st down passing plays, but are otherwise very stingy
I'm sad to report both of these trends continue.
Against the Browns, the Ravens YPP allowed by number of pass rushers were:
3: 7 plays/50 yards, 7.1 YPP
So rushing 4 or fewer the Ravens allowed the Browns 4.7 YPP (season 5.5), but 9.4 YPP (season 8.1) with 5 or more rushing.
Should the Ravens stop rushing 5+?
First of all, you can't become predictable in the pass rush any more than you can pass or run all the time on offense, so the Ravens will continue to mix it up. In addition, if Rolle and CMac are both back this week, this may well be a game where we let the corners play man. More men in the backfield is generally very good vs. the run (that's something I'm sure you've observed watching the Ravens the Ravens the last 9 years, but it also deserves a statistical demonstration before you accept it as dogma). Additionally, Phillip Rivers has succumbed to the rush with 12 INT's and 10 fumbles despite being sacked just 13 times in 10 games. Furthermore, with no Pryce, if the Ravens do not bring extra pressure, this is a game where Rivers may be able to order dinner in the pocket. This is one game where I hope Ryan ignores the 2007 numbers and plays 2006 defense.
I mentioned the trend of getting burned on 1st down several weeks ago, and the situation has not improved. Versus the Browns, the Ravens allowed 149 net passing yards on 16 1st down pass plays (9.3 YPP). For the season they have allowed 990 yards on 103 1st down pass plays (9.6 YPP). That's compared to 3.9 YPPA on all other plays. Of all yards surrendered for the season, 34% have come on 1st down passes which have accounted for just 18% of the non-kneel snaps.
What's causing the Ravens to get burnt so much in these situations?
Without having carved up the data further to corroborate, I'll tell you what I'd guess might be some of the issues and how I might model each:
• The Ravens, particularly without Pryce, have a non-stellar pass rush crew on 1st down that has afforded opposing QB's more time to throw. This one seems obvious, but ideally, I would check sacks and QB hits relative to the number of pass rushers to verify.
• The Ravens have gambled a lot on 1st down with 5+ man rushes used primarily to stop the run. These have not caused enough havoc in 2007 to make up for the times they are burned. To confirm, I'd check the distribution of pass rushers on 1st down relative to other downs.
• Other teams are doing a good job of noticing the Ravens tendencies and using schemes that either pick up the blitz or maximize downfield threats. This would require significantly more work, since I'd really need to check blocking schemes vs. each number of pass rushers. I do not have this currently recorded for opposing offenses, but I think it's something I want to add next year.
• The unstable situation in the secondary has left no shortage of targets. One could build a model for this by assigning a "total secondary quality" score to each alignment. Something like 3 for each starter, 2 for a backup or player out of position, and 1 if the player was 2 deep on the depth chart. We could then add up the total for all DB's, allowing nickel and dime sets naturally to have higher scores since they are intended to stop the pass.

Anyway, I'm happy Daub committed. LSU is better for it regardless how it plays out, and play out it must. Other than being a great prospect, I don't know anything about him. I don't know if he's flighty or decisive. If Paris from TX had done this, I wouldn't blink an eye because I know he has strong LA ties and probably some purple and gold infused in his DNA, but I don't think this is the case with Daub.
Obviously he had a good time and was impressed, but it's a long time to signing day for him (about 10% of his life todate). What's going to happen when other schools roll out the red carpet like they will do on real official visits. Make no mistske that girl friends, classmates, teachers, coaches, recruiters, men and women of God, etc will be encouraging him to partake. Was it really true love, or was it rash? I'm not trying to be Peggy Prom here, but reservations seem prudent in this case.
He wasn't even considering LSU
I mean, he wasn't even considering LSU, and now he commits?
quote:correct,and then he says everybody is going to Bama
Prom likes to throw the wet blanket down and then come back with the "guys I'm not being negative, just being real blah blah"
It's his role on this board and he loves it

Wisconsin's Native American Hidden Gems
Last Updated: 8/16/2013
Drums pound, feet stomp and colors swirl. Wisconsin's rich Native American culture is matched only by the beauty of its stunningly preserved tribal lands and waters.
Travel expert and journalist, Peter Greenberg, visited Wisconsin to explore the culture, land and heritage of our 11 Native American tribes. View the video and get a peek at the exciting landscapes he discovered and find out what he calls Wisconsin's hidden gems.
Like what you see in the video? Explore these areas for yourself. Ride the Wolf River through a rafting trip in the Menominee Nation, May through September. This challenging sport requires good health, stamina and judgment, so be prepared. If you're looking for beautiful sites without the rapids, set sail during the summer to explore natural caves on a sea kayaking adventure, or glide through the waters in a traditional Ojibwe canoe near the Apostle Islands on the Red Cliff Reservation.
If you'd rather stay on land, visit Frog Bay Tribal National Park, the first national park opened on Native American land. Explore the untouched beaches and forests that recently opened to the public for the first time.
To see more of Peter Greenberg's visit to Wisconsin and to find other Native American hidden gems across the state, visit our YouTube channel.This entry was posted in Things to Do

In a city that has undergone such a dramatic transformation in recent years, how do longstanding hotels remain relevant? Lording over Marina Bay, with a smashing skyline view, the Mandarin Oriental seems to have perfected the art of remaining familiar and faithful to its long-time guests, while also exuding a sense of cutting-edge freshness. The distinguished hotel celebrates its 25th birthday this month.
The fan-shaped property enjoys an unrivalled position with picture-perfect views of Singapore Harbour and the city lights, and is in easy reach of Singapore's essential attractions. All guestrooms and suites are contemporary in design and stylishly furnished. Whether you are staying in-house or not, your dining choices extend across five acclaimed restaurants, whether it's fine Italian, authentic Japanese, tasty Cantonese, steakhouse fare or the delicious international buffet.
You'll find that at Melt - The World Cafe, which also serves an exceptional breakfast buffet. The luxurious new spa is winning plenty of plaudits, however, the hotel's crowning glory is the recently revamped outdoor pool deck. Nestled among lush tropical greenery and equipped with dreamy private cabanas, the mosaic-tiled 25m outdoor pool and its sculptured fountains is just the ticket when the heat and humidity take its toll. Have a splash, rest and soak up the view.

Republicans Duke it Out over Immigration
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on Sep 22, 2011
The GOP debate tonight in Orlando, Florida highlighted the issue of immigration, which put Texas Governor Rick Perry on the defensive. Perry's mood quickly became dour as all the other candidates were clearly in favor of tighter immigration policies.
With Perry on top and neck and neck with Mitt Romney, the candidates took every opportunity to make Perry look bad on the important issues.
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and Perry sparred over building a fence along the Mexican border, with Santorum in favor of securing the border, Perry asked, "Have you ever even been to the border with Mexico?" Santorum responded with a strong, "Yes I have." Perry made it seem impossible to build a fence covering 1,800 miles.
Santorum chided Perry's idea of bi-national health insurance with Mexico. Santorum thought the idea was worse than Obama care. Perry bristled at the comparison, while the audience applauded.
Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich and Santorum all agreed that a fence along the entire Mexican border is necessary to keep illegal aliens out. Romney nailed Perry about his state offering an in-state tuition discount of $20,000 per year, when out of state American students pay higher out of state fees to attend the University of Texas.
Historically, Governors from Texas are anti-border fence. At stake is the Hispanic vote. With such large numbers of Hispanic voters, being pro-fence would be a death sentence for a standing governor in Texas. Many of Perry's views match those of former Texas governor George W. Bush.
Perry stood alone in his pro-immigration stance. He attempted to pull heart strings with his explanation of how leaving a child of an immigrant, without an education, and possibly becoming a burden, is 'heartless.'
Romney called benefits for illegal immigrants, 'magnets.' These magnets are a source that attracts large numbers to our country. Numbers that take jobs, government benefits, and money away from a coffer that is nearly depleted.
Bachmann brought up the issue of President Obama suing the state of Arizona for using a private, unpaid militia to patrol the border.
With so many Americans without jobs, I was anticipating one of the pro-fence debaters tonight to bring up how many thousands of jobs would be generated if the enormous border fence building project ever went forward. This would be akin to a project generated by FDR to get us out of the great depression.
There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in America. Should we go on as we always have, by ignoring this issue, or should we tackle immigration?

If Republicans are smart, they will nominate Romney, otherwise Obama is likely to win his second term.
Think hard folks about what it will take to attract the middle. You have a golden opportunity as Obama is turning hard left to re-energize his base. This has and will continue to alienate independents like me.

then again, there's the risk of alienating an independent like me...
i've written to all candidates recommending that a sage hedge be grown along the 1,800 miles of border...once a year it could be set on fire to sweeten the air...sage has a presence that everybody respects...
immigrants immigrants immigrants...HOORAY!
there are thousands of "illegal" immigrants who have entered by land from Canada...others have entered by sea...anyone for constructing a 50 foot high electric fence along the US/Canada border to keep out spies and those terrible moose? or, a fish net along the western us coast to keep out those long distance swimmers from China?
tee hee hee, tee hee hee...
immigrants for a better life in the USA...HOORAY!

Agreeing with Jundo above.
Love the idea, love to have it both ways: those who want to sit inside the idea and those who want to sit "outside the idea". And also I will like to add another example: I work with some friends here in Mexico City teaching meditation, Dharma and Tai Chi Chuan for pepople with low financial resources and once a month we hold a 24 hour "prayer/meditation" wheel online and offline, and it goes like this:
We make a facebook and blog post, anouncing the date and asking people to post their intentions, needs or dedication and also aske them to pray or meditate with us on the day of the wheel, everyone is welcome to do it from their own house or office, we support the idea with out personal blogs too and in the physical center too.
Physically we have a place where we take turns to go and pray or meditate for a certain time, bearing the intention to include all sentient beings and bearing all the intentions and needs posted on line. (Damn! need to write more in English jajaja) Anyway, so, the whole point in our prayer wheel is to have colective intention and mindfulness over the needs of others and to bring us all together and we asked people to donate what they could/want to donate on those 24 hours, some donated time praying, other time visiting someone to pray together, other guy donated work for a better website, and on the end, we all were sharing intention and concern for the needs of others across the city.
Soo, this has been a long post sorry, we can do something like that and also, I think my friends would be more than happy to join us and to invite us to the next wheel.
Hope this can be of service

Dancing between stillness and motion I find peace.
Each unto their own I suppose. I am still cultivating the empty field: emptying it to roam in! No preference, but I will help if called upon. Gassho.

Well this is a discussion so I am going to discuss without trying to put anyone into a us versus them mindset. This idea bothers me and like some others I cannot articulate very well why. But, I am going to try.
I don't think the issue here is about whether or not charities should be helped, or that we have some ability as a collective to achieve that. I think the issue, for me is in HOW we achieve that. To ME, when you you have a sitathon or sit in public putting on a show, as it were, it seems to me an act of proselytizing. To ME, although that might NOT necessarily be in the mindset of those participating, if you choose to go sit maybe quietly alone or together on a place like a battlefield, or a place where a great tragedy occurred, this is one thing. But when you sit in public to make a spectacle of the sitting it seems to me rather, well, egoic in nature. It comes off as not an act of compassion or humility, as much of an act of LOOK AT ME.
That's just my two cents.
Spend it wisely LOL

Well, a lot of thinking there. Most such judgments are in one's own head.
I could just as easily say that we are simply sitting as sitting, happen to be raising money to help sick children along the way. I could just as easily judge that the "spectacle" and "proselytizing" is simply introducing to passing eyes a Practice of which they are not aware, and that one's own ego or "taking credit for it" can be dropped away (as can the embarrassment more likely to be felt by many). I could just as easily say that hiding Zazen, keeping it to oneself, is kinda "selfish". Anyway, it is unlikely that anyone would encounter the Zazen-a-thon sitting other than other Zazen folks.
That is all thinking too, more judgments.
So, I just sit, no goal (no I). At the same time, money is raised for kids. At the same time, someone might pass by and wonder what is going on, ask about it, give it a try. That is the True Battlefield where we fight Suffering.
Gassho, Jundo
PS - By the way, here is info on a "Zazen-a-thon" at Austin Zen Center. They sat for their Sangha's fundraising.
I am not sure about the doorprizes and tongue-in-cheek 'what's in it for me', but kinda like the "musical-Zazen".
Saturday, June 12, 1-5pm
Calling all Zennies! Come and put your body and mind to the test—sign up for the Zazen-a-thon and collect pledges to benefit our facilities here at AZC.
What do I need to do to take part? Simply click the registration link below and then ask friends, families and colleagues to support you (and Zen Center!) by pledging for you to sit zazen. One dollar = one minute! Finally, come to AZC on 6/12 at 1p and take part in an afternoon of sublime meditation, sitting a minute of meditation for every dollar you collect.
What's in it for me? Glad you asked! You'll have the distinct pleasure of knowing that your efforts are contributing toward the upkeep and growth of the treasure that is our Dharma home, Austin Zen Center! PLUS, let it be known that the three people who collect the most number of pledges will receive a fantastic collection of prizes that is beyond their wildest imaginations! Dare we say more?
Anything else I need to know? Well, there are a few things:
This isn't a retreat. It's meant to be an enjoyable and communal experience. So if you collect $100, don't worry: we won't ask you to sit for 100 minutes straight! There'll be breaks, snacks available and a general sense of camaradie. There could even be a round or two of musical zazen (think: zen version of musical chairs but without the music or chairs). Hey, it could happen!
We encourage you to be creative in finding ways to ask for support - use email, Facebook, and Twitter as well as phone and face-to-face asks. When asking for sponsors, speak from the heart. Consider sharing why Zen Center is important to you, the impact it has on your life, or our community in general.
Ask all of your supporters who are donating by check to write them out to AUSTIN ZEN CENTER. If folks want to contribute via credit card, they can do so clicking on the appropriate link beolow
Okay, then: hit the streets, the hills, and all areas in-between, expounding the virtue of zazen to one and all! Let's get the Zazen-a-thon rolling! Ready - set - GO!

... and a nice one from Brooklyn Zen Center ...
Brooklyn Sit-a-thon for Awake Youth Project
The Brooklyn Sit-a-thon is a borough-wide event where we join together on April 21st to spend a day in sitting meditation as a way to raise funds for the Awake Youth Project – a program coordinated by Brooklyn Zen Center in partnership with Brooklyn College Community Partnership to bring mindfulness and meditation programs to Brooklyn youth. ...
This year we are hoping to raise $40,000 from participants willing to ask their family, friends, and communities to sponsor them in a day of sitting meditation. We feel confident that 100 participants willing to ask 20 friends for $20 will take us right up to our goal in no time!
This $40,000 will go toward staffing, supplies and space so that Brooklyn's teens can come together to support one another in meditation and mindfulness practices that support all other aspects of their lives as they mature and deepen into wholehearted members of our community.

I get what you are saying about not being selfish about Zazen. But then why don't we go knocking on doors like the Jehovah Witnesses and hand out pamphlets? My answer is because it has to do with the level of appropriateness. IF one chooses to have a sitathon for a cause and people are interested that would be one thing. On the other hand, sitting on a median in the middle of traffic on a busy street or on a subway platform just to be OUT there. This seems a bit lacking in the level of appropriateness.
I guess I still have to ponder more about what bother's me about a sitathon for raising money.
I am the newbie here, but you asked me to post my thoughts. So.. I did
Gassho C
Hi Clark,
I think everyone must follow their own hearts.
By the way, an official delegation from Japanese Soto-shu has been travelling the world to present a concert of Chanting and Shomyo (a kind of traditional Buddhist hymm singing). Here they are in Germany. The purpose is, of course, to raise awareness of Zen and Buddhist Practice.
You can see them sitting Zazen on stage here, at the 7:30 mark ...
The Shomyo portion can be heard at around the 1:22:00 mark, with accompany handbells.
Zen folks and other Buddhist groups have been staging all kind of public events for various causes or to raise awareness of Buddhist Practice. Is that the same as going "door to door" or hanging out selling George Harrison CD's in airports? In my heart, I don't think so.

Since ego is one of my attachments, what people think of me and how the visible "I" is perceived by others, this will bring it right to the (sore) spot to practice "emptying my bowl". I feel I MUST do this and do it within the Ango period. There is a Starbucks at our train station that seems a good spot. Don't think there will be a video of it though. No one to film it or guard the camera, lol

I would really like to do this too and when I am well enough want to go into Canterbury at lunchtime and sit with a couple of empty cushions beside me and a sign saying 'please join in' or similar. There is a park which might be a good place to do this or else on one of the main shopping streets. To be honest, though, just sitting in front of my flat was scary enough with what my neighbours might think!
Do let us know if you do it.
Last edited by Jundo; 10-02-2013 at 04:08 PM.
Just to be clear, the "Zazen-a-thon" would not be a "public sit" like that fellow is doing on street corners or in subways stations. That is very different. For the "Zazen-a-thon", some folks might like to sit online with Google+, some offline at home, some not participate at all, some participate in ways other than sitting. That is all fine. No need or requirement to go out onto a street and make some big Zazen demonstration on the sidewalk, let alone stop traffic!
On the other hand (completely unrelated to Zazen-a-thon), if someone feels like Enkyo and Karasu that they want to sit in public ... I support them. I also support the folks who do not wish to do so! I support everybody!
The only thing to emphasize ... whether sitting the "Sit-a-thon" or not, whether sitting in public or in the privacy of home ... drop the ego. It is not about you. It is not about how great you are to do it. It is only about helping other sentient beings. It is all goalless.
Just to emphasize again ... I AM NOT PROPOSING ZAZEN IN THE PARK OR ON STREET CORNERS as part of "Zazen-a-thon" (although some people might want to do such a thing as there own choice, and that is up to them too, as it is up to others to sit "on line" or "off line" or not at all).

In silence, the tinkling of the third bell, all rise, Gassho to One and All -
(turning to the audience)
Ego is not the reason for posting my remark here. It is about getting out there and sit for all to see instead of feeling good and great in seclusion and keeping it all to myself. Doing this kind of practice means accepting the danger of getting humiliated, ridiculed or laughed at in public. This is the practice I seek and feel will do my practice and sitting some good and put a new thought in peoples minds or at least a good laugh on an otherwise grim day. Although we may never see the flower that grows out of it, we can be sure we planted the little seeds of practice and made people think. If a seed grows or does not grow, is not up to us/me.
Something I shared in all openness and in the spirit of our Sangha with a wink and a smile, somehow became an ego thing and very sad about that. My contribution was meant to be constructive and to explore the possibilities. It is never my intention to profile myself or to attract a spotlight on this or any forum. I'll be more careful next time.
stich by stich....
I did not mean that you are sitting with Ego or to put a spotlight on yourself, Enkyo! I meant that anyone wishing to follow your example, Enkyo, should make sure of their reasons and attitude. Better not to public sit if for reasons of ego or self-promotion, so you appear to have the right attitude if as you describe.
I hope this is clear now.

Oh, Jundo no worries m8! Seems I did misread you post a bit but even if you did mean it in that way, I could have worked with that too you know. Read a warning in your words against sitting just for the show and the danger of the old look "at me teacher, no hands!!!" In that sense, not making this into a competition of extremes or a `look at me´show or something, is a valid point and that is why I need to be more careful next time.
I wonder why we are all a bit touchy about it this time? Discussions like these bring new and creative practices! It's a good thing! It is what makes our sangha so cool. Have an idea, share it to see if you´re on track or way off and work with it or take the advise and drop it. Or even cooler, watch and see how our two teachers work out very different points of view in a dignified and intelligent manner. To quote the great Kung Fu master Panda "that's true awesomeness!" Like with this Zazenathon. We discussed it at depth and carefully listen to the several points of view so everyone can decide for themselves. As for me, I lean a bit towards both sentiments and decided that if we are going to make this happen collectively, I'll join simply because we decided to do it together. Where and how we sit this Zazenathon, is going to be interesting since we can all decide for ourselves, right? And if someone prefers not to sit that way, that is also "awesomeness". Very respectable and fine with me too
In all tranquility
stich by stich....
Well said Enkyo.
As for me, if it came off that way I was not offended by anything. Now if you start making fun of the size of my nose, I might have to evoke Cyrano DeBergiac.

They already knew that the universe is expanding. In 1929, the astronomer Edwin Hubble had discovered that distant galaxies were moving away from us and that the farther away they got, the faster they seemed to be receding.
This was a radical idea. Instead of the stately, eternally unchanging still life that the universe once appeared to be, it was actually alive in time, like a movie. Rewind the film of the expansion and the universe would eventually reach a state of infinite density and energy—what astronomers call the Big Bang. But what if you hit fast-forward? How would the story end?
The universe is full of matter, and matter attracts other matter through gravity. Astronomers reasoned that the mutual attraction among all that matter must be slowing down the expansion of the universe. But they didn't know what the ultimate outcome would be. Would the gravitational effect be so forceful that the universe would ultimately stretch a certain distance, stop and reverse itself, like a ball tossed into the air? Or would it be so slight that the universe would escape its grasp and never stop expanding, like a rocket leaving Earth's atmosphere? Or did we live in an exquisitely balanced universe, in which gravity ensures a Goldilocks rate of expansion neither too fast nor too slow—so the universe would eventually come to a virtual standstill?
Assuming the existence of dark matter and that the law of gravitation is universal, two teams of astrophysicists—one led by Saul Perlmutter, at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the other by Brian Schmidt, at Australian National University—set out to determine the future of the universe. Throughout the 1990s the rival teams closely analyzed a number of exploding stars, or supernovas, using those unusually bright, short-lived distant objects to gauge the universe's growth. They knew how bright the supernovas should appear at different points across the universe if the rate of expansion were uniform. By comparing how much brighter the supernovas actually did appear, astronomers figured they could determine how much the expansion of the universe was slowing down. But to the astronomers' surprise, when they looked as far as halfway across the universe, six or seven billion light-years away, they found that the supernovas weren't brighter—and therefore nearer—than expected. They were dimmer—that is, more distant. The two teams both concluded that the expansion of the universe isn't slowing down. It's speeding up.
The implication of that discovery was momentous: it meant that the dominant force in the evolution of the universe isn't gravity. It is...something else. Both teams announced their findings in 1998. Turner gave the "something" a nickname: dark energy. It stuck. Since then, astronomers have pursued the mystery of dark energy to the ends of the Earth—literally.
"The South Pole has the harshest environment on Earth, but also the most benign," says William Holzapfel, a University of California at Berkeley astrophysicist who was the on-site lead researcher at the South Pole Telescope (SPT) when I visited.
He wasn't referring to the weather, though in the week between Christmas and New Year's Day—early summer in the Southern Hemisphere—the Sun shone around the clock, the temperatures were barely in the minus single digits (and one day even broke zero), and the wind was mostly calm. Holzapfel made the walk from the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station (a snowball's throw from the traditional site of the pole itself, which is marked with, yes, a pole) to the telescope wearing jeans and running shoes. One afternoon the telescope's laboratory building got so warm the crew propped open a door.
But from an astronomer's perspective, not until the Sun goes down and stays down—March through September— does the South Pole get "benign."
"It's six months of uninterrupted data," says Holzapfel. During the 24-hour darkness of the austral autumn and winter, the telescope operates nonstop under impeccable conditions for astronomy. The atmosphere is thin (the pole is more than 9,300 feet above sea level, 9,000 of which are ice). The atmosphere is also stable, due to the absence of the heating and cooling effects of a rising and setting Sun; the pole has some of the calmest winds on Earth, and they almost always blow from the same direction.
Perhaps most important for the telescope, the air is exceptionally dry; technically, Antarctica is a desert. (Chapped hands can take weeks to heal, and perspiration isn't really a hygiene issue, so the restriction to two showers a week to conserve water isn't much of a problem. As one pole veteran told me, "The moment you go back through customs at Christchurch [New Zealand], that's when you'll need a shower.") The SPT detects microwaves, a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is particularly sensitive to water vapor. Humid air can absorb microwaves and prevent them from reaching the telescope, and moisture emits its own radiation, which could be misread as cosmic signals.

Joan Grona Gallery spotlights Ricardo Romo photos
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Aug. 30, 2006)--The Joan Grona Gallery will present an exhibit of photographs by UTSA President Ricardo Romo, charcoal and giclee prints by local artist Jesse Trevino and oil paintings by local artist Elizabeth Rodriguez from Aug. 31 to Sept. 30.
Romo's photos, which were taken in Jalisco, Mexico, are for sale at the gallery with proceeds benefiting the UTSA-Fox Tech Scholarship Fund. Romo is a graduate of San Antonio's Louis W. Fox Technical High School, known as Fox Tech.

Article tools
An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 6:30-8:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 31.
According to exhibit curator and UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida, "I wanted to put together the work of these artists because they are all from San Antonio's West Side, and their work captures the spirit of Mexican and Mexican-American culture."
Ricardo Romo developed an interest in photography while a student at UT Austin in the 60s. He earned a bachelor's degree at UT Austin, a master's degree in history at Loyola Marymount University and a Ph.D. in history at UCLA, where he taught and authored "East Los Angeles: History of a Barrio."
After serving as vice provost for undergraduate education at UT Austin, Romo returned to San Antonio in May 1999 to become UTSA's fifth president. His photographs have been exhibited at various venues throughout the city including the Instituto de Mexico and the Joan Grona Gallery.
Jesse Trevino has been dubbed the artist laureate of San Antonio. A promising artist before he lost his painting hand in Vietnam, Trevino's victorious struggle to adapt to that loss has been an inspiration. Painting from photographs in the photorealistic tradition, two of his paintings are in the collection of the Smithsonian's American Art Museum.
In recent years, he became known for his building-size murals and mosaics. His work, "Spirit of Healing," on Santa Rosa Children's Hospital has become a San Antonio landmark. The mural consists of more than 150,000 hand-cut ceramic tiles and stands more than 90 feet tall, making it one of the largest murals in North America.
The creative genius of Elizabeth Rodriguez was unleashed by cows. When she took up painting in 1996 on her Marshall, Texas, ranch, there were few humans nearby, so animals became her subjects. Then, she lived in Amsterdam and Harlem, Holland, where she was fascinated by the intricate still lifes, attention to detail and controlled brush strokes of Dutch painters.
As she studied in museums, the precise, structured and detailed style of the Dutch artists emerged in her paintings. After returning to San Antonio, Rodriguez' work with Trevino inspired ventures into other media including murals and mosaics. She was one of several painters of the Goodwill Lions mural in downtown San Antonio and taught a children's class on mosaics. Her paintings have been showcased in San Antonio at UTSA, several community colleges and in the downtown area.
The exhibit also includes several etchings by Mexican artist Myrna Lagunes.
The Joan Grona Gallery is in Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 112 at South Alamo and Probandt streets in downtown San Antonio. Established in 1992, the gallery represents established and emerging local, national and international artists whose innovative works include paintings, sculpture, photography, installations and works on paper. Gallery hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Wednesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday and noon-4 p.m., Sunday, or by appointment. For more information, call (210) 225-6334.

Playboy.com's Guide to St. Patrick's Day
Drinking til you drop is one way to go about St Patrick's Day but allow us to suggest an alternative.
Before your friends find you face down in puddle of non-descript green 'mud,' there are a few things you should know about having a successful St. Patrick's Day. Swilling ten Guinnesses before noon is not among them. Nor are Jameson shots before breakfast. And you should stop talking to that girl who keeps calling you Clarence; your name isn't Clarence and judging by her Adam's apple, she isn't a girl. Staying sober enough to stand and distinguish one gender from the other is important on a day when many will be unable to do either; to accomplish such a task there are a few things you would be well-advised to keep in mind.
Food: Start with breakfast, end with breakfast
Starting with breakfast is a given but ending with breakfast is a hangover cure a la Ireland's best and drunkest. It doesn't matter when you end, but you should end with breakfast. Proper breakfast. None of this flimsy yogurt and fruit charade. We're thinking eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast, maybe a grapefruit, get some cheese in there somewhere, double down on the pig and add some bacon and coffee.
Flasks: Walking Whiskey
We advise hiding your car keys days in advance. Inconvenient? Maybe. Responsible? Undoubtedly. Thus public transit and walking become our prime modes of transportation come revelry time and anyone experienced with either knows they can be time-consuming. Which is why keeping a well-stocked flask on hand will keep you buzzing between bars.
Dollars and Drinks: Don't Overpay
Unbeknownst to the wild sorority girls shrieking near the bar, green beer contains just as much if not less alcohol as normal, everyday beer. The price bump from four dollars to six can be explained by it being green. It being green can be explained by the addition of food coloring. Food coloring can be purchased for roughly 50 cents at your local Save Easy and probably turns upwards of a hundred beers green. We're not that good at math so we won't show our work here but two extra greenbacks for a hay penny's worth of food coloring seems egregious.
Napping: Not Just For Babies
There are two divergent schools of thought when it comes to napping. One states that napping mid-bender will result in complacency, an inability to resume drinking upon waking. The second, pro-napping argument reasons that napping is a rejuvenating process akin to being electroshocked back to life and will leave the napper capable of extraordinary feats of imbibing strength. Us? We're nappers, but to each their own.
Closing Time: The Last Shot
If you're straight-gone, shit-housed, do not turn down your friend for that last shot. You've passed the point of no return. Tomorrow is going to be unpleasant; you might as well go down with the ship.


text: My 94 K1500 5.7L is dripping a little coolant and I can't find out where. None of the hoses are leaking and it seems like it might be from the back of the engine but I can't see back there to tell. I did do a pressure test at 15psi for ten minutes and it didn't drop a bit. Is that long enough for a normal pressure test? Also, anybody got a clue where the leak might be coming from and how to tell. And anybody got an opinion on those "stop leak" solutions?

Like eating fresh fruit and vegetables, enjoying wholesome beauty products has healthy appeal.
Consumers in all sectors of the market are increasingly being wooed with talk of natural, energising items.
Though some product makers get all evangelic about the life forces of plants, others are simply jumping on the environmentally aware bandwagon in marketing standard consumer goods with a new twist.
In the middle there is a growing group combining a bit of both worlds: looking to source ingredients from nature, but keen to cash in on the connection. To ensure you are not being "greenwashed", label reading and questioning is in order.
For instance, it may sound nice to be using a vegetable rather than mineral oil, but is it palm oil in disguise and is it sustainably sourced?
As with food items, the need for clearer labelling is obvious to conscious cosmetics consumers, if not always so appealing to industry groups.
I'm not carrying a particular torch here for all-natural products - technological innovation interests me as much and there's a good case to make for synthesising some scarce natural substances to replicate their supposed benefits in chemically identical ingredients - but in honour of our Vitality issue (truth being vital and all that) we check out a few of the new more transparently authentic product choices available.
Many such products are homegrown, which taps into another trend.
A survey of 500 women aged 25 to 45 taken late last year underlines this. It showed that 80 per cent would prefer to buy New Zealand-made beauty or cleansing products. Auckland-based personal care maker Health Basics, which commissioned the research, has recognised this sentiment with a supermarket range (pictured) that cleverly uses both New Zealand place names and ingredients. Expect to see more of this trend in the year ahead.
Trinity Road Body Lotion $25.95 and Triple Milled Soap $14.95
This newish name in New Zealand skincare is starting off with just the two products, both fragrance-free and using the goodness of goat's milk and shea butter for their moisturising ability. The pitch is at the discerning gift market, rather than those with skin sensitivities who are courted by other goat's milk product makers and may not be so keen on inclusion of the common preservative phenoxyethanol. Trinity Hill says research shows a growing number of people are overwhelmed by the plethora of perfumes in body products.
We bet Cleopatra had perfume in her goat's milk bath, but Trinity Hill has a point, it's best to choose your own poison. (From selected department and gift stores and www.trinityroad.co.nz)
The Aromaroom Purify Body Oil $39
Substitute your body moisturiser with an oil made from easily absorbed plant ingredients to reinvigorate dry skin.
By choosing one with added essential oils you can also enjoy their aromatherapeutic appeal.
The Aromaroom's contains citrus, rose, geranium and other essential oils. Its formulator Keith Harvey says: "For optimum results apply in the shower on wet skin, massage over your entire body and then towel dry," (For stockists www.thearomaroom.co.nz)
La Mav Intensive Moisture Nightly Repair Nectar $79.99
This nutrient-rich skin serum comes from a certified organic bio-active Australian range notable for its scope and focus on anti-ageing. With flavour of the day ingredients such as argan and marula oils and reliable staples such as sea buckthorn seed oil and oat extract it should keep skin feeling supple. (From selected pharmacies, department and health food stores and spas, see www.lamav.com)
River Veda Cleansing Milk $34
This mild creamy formula with shea butter and primrose oils won't strip skin of its own natural oils and is gentle enough to use around the eye area. Developed by an Auckland naturopath, River Veda is split into an everyday range and others to rejuvenate and replenish. www.riverveda.com
Billie Goat Soap $11.96 and Peppermint Foot Soak $19.95
This Australian range was born out of a mother's battle to combat her son's eczema. She made soap using milk from herds she knew by name. Demand for the soaps grew among those with similar skin problems. The company has now passed into the ownership of a marketing group, but the soaps are still hand-poured. There are plain and lavender versions and being free of synthetic hardeners are so rich and creamy that a tip for users is to chop the cakes in half lest they dissolve on a wet soap dish. (Or get a soap dish that drains well). The foot soak is an example of how the original range has expanded, but it's a harmonious mix, given goat's milk contains lactic acid which has exfoliating properties tired feet may enjoy as a spin-off from a soak. (From Farmers and selected pharmacies and health stores.)

2012 03.02 - Rush Partners with Central America Country Honduras.
"The Foundation Elmer Marin is the next latino non-profit soccer club to partner with Rush Soccer," says Jair Vasquez, Rush Technical Director, South America. "It was the initiative of Elmer Marin, a former professional soccer player in Honduras. He had a dream of creating this club for a long time. Since then, he had the opportunity to go to Houston, Texas to learn about methodologies of soccer in USA. This is where he met up our Texas Rush Partners, Juan Pele Martinez and Oscar Cruz."
On November 3rd Tim Schulz, Rush President & CEO and Jair Vaquez initially accepted to support this partnership. Jair vasquez believes that the kids in Honduras have a lot of potential and talent and that the partnership could aid in there player development.
Jair continues, "I'm very excited to support Elmer because he showed me that soccer is his passion and he wants the best for the kids in his country. He exemplifies the Rush Core Values."
The expansion into Honduras makes this our 4th partner in Central and South America and 20th overall international partner. The partnerships are unique from country to country but all partnerships around the world share in a Rush Way philosophy and methodology, networking with other Rush Clubs, player exchange opportunities, playing opportunities and a shared web site.
Welcome Honduras Rush!

The Best NHL hockey Goalie to ever play the sport. Despite injuries and bad misfortune Mike Richter had more agility and flexablity then any goalie. Most consistant incredible play game in and game out despite that the team in front of him was horrible defensively. Mike Ritcher stood on his head ever time he played. New York Rangers won the cup in 94 because they had a good team, but it was all Mike Richter. If the Rangers would have had just decent teams these past years they would have won more cups with Richter in net.
