Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a great time in a very nice, clean and renovated apartment in a lively neighborhood. Everything we needed was in the apartment and we had good communication with Margarida. The only minor thing: the noise of the street at night. So if you are not used to that, make sure to have some earplugs with you.
Great, beautiful and clean apartment in perfect location, super nice and helpful host - recommended us where to go, what to do and where to eat - we took the advice and were 100% happy with that!!! We totally recomment that apartment :)
Great stay with a very accommodating host. We had a great time in the heart of Lisbon. Lots of action in the neighborhood. Loads of restaurants, cafes and interesting points of interest. Highly recommended.
Nice and very clean apartment and kitchen! Friendly welcome with information about the city from representative. Specious bathroom with a nice bath/shower. The location is wonderfull with lots of historic interesting points, places to eat and nice small shops. Also public transport is nearby. One point for improvement is the small double bed that is only 180 cm long. The beds in the other room are very good!
This apartment, full of charm, is very conveniently located close to all amenities and we received a very good reception.
The only downside: it's just a bit to the level of the dishes, it would take a few more dishes!
Cet appartement, plein de charme, est très très bien situé proche de toutes les commodités et nous avons reçu un très bon accueil.
Le seul bémol : c'est un peu juste au niveau de la vaisselle, il faudrait un peu plus de plats !
The Apartment was perfect everything you need was there ...
The only Problem was that The cooker didnt work
The Host Are also very nice and helpful
The area is next To a Bus and a train and you can even Walk everything is nearby
I would definitly recommend it
Pretty little quiet apartment for two people. Thanks to good tips at the keys we found fast connection (bus, metro) in all directions. Apartment is really recommended because various objectives are really easy to reach on foot!
Hübsche kleine ruhige Wohnung für zwei Personen. Dank guter Tips bei der Schlüsselübergabe haben wir schnelle Anbindung (Bus, Metro) in alle Richtungen gefunden. Wohnung ist wirklich empfehlenswert, da diverse Ziele wirklich auch gut zu Fuß zu erreichen sind!
The apartment is centrally located, with everything you need, equipped.
Die Wohnung ist zentral gelegen und mit allem was man braucht, ausgestattet.
The apartment was exactly the photos, was clean and simple but tastefully furnished (Ikea style), modern kitchen and bathroom.
Communication and keys were straightforward, the latter connected to something waiting period.
The apartment is in a very narrow, non-motorable road, a taxi should be the street Calçada de Santana specify about # 145 and 20m must walk. Quiet area, but on weekend evenings from neighboring courtyard beer garden loud party music, which does not bother if you
himself still crashes into the nightlife.
About access was reached after about 5 minutes down the bottom of the hill either direction Restauradores or Martim Moniz, the climb takes longer and is pretty legs.
But for that compensated the view from the 3-bed room (not by the door from the stairway from the kitchen separated) and the authentic atmosphere of the
Neighborhood. For groups of friends and families with older children in any
Recommended case!
Die Wohnung entsprach genau den Fotos, war sauber und einfach, aber geschmackvoll eingerichtet (IKEA-Style), moderne Küchen- und Badausstattung.
Kommunikation und Schlüsselübergabe waren unkompliziert, letzteres mit etwas Wartezeit verbunden.
Die Wohnung liegt in einer sehr schmalen, nicht befahrbaren Straße, per Taxi sollte man die Straße Calçada de Santana ca. Nr.145 angeben und muss 20m zu Fuß gehen. Ruhige Gegend, jedoch am Wochenende abends vom benachbartem Innenhof-Biergarten laute Partymusik, was nicht stört, wenn man
sich selbst noch ins Nachtleben stürzt.
Über Treppengänge erreicht man nach ca. 5 min Abstieg den Fuß des Hügels entweder Richtung Restauradores oder Martim Moniz, der Aufstieg dauert entsprechend länger und geht ganz schön die Beine.
Dafür entschädigt aber der Blick aus dem 3-Bettzimmer (nicht durch Tür vom Treppenaufgang von der Küche abgetrennt) und das authentische Flair der
Nachbarschaft. Für Gruppenreisende und Familien mit älteren Kindern auf jeden
Fall zu empfehlen!
took the apartment in large part by the wonderful terrace that looked at the photos and absolute disappointment, another thing we did not like anything is that loa door glass was heard everything and privacy best minima.lo bed, very comfortable and very cool summer apartment
cogi el apartamento en gran parte por la maravillosa terraza que se veia en las fotos y decepcion absoluta,otra cosa que no nos gusto nada es que loa puerta de entrada era de cristal se escuchaba todo e intimidad minima.lo mejor la cama,muy comoda y el apartamento muy fresco para verano

2012 Retrospective: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
GTA: San Andreas - General News | @ 08:30 AM MDT | By Ash_735
With Grand Theft Auto V news hitting faster than ever in the past week, gaming website EuroGamer looks back on Rockstars previous attempt at the West Coast in the highly popular, and some say the best, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and talking about how it still stands up today:
The characters are boxy, the textures crude and the draw distance is often shocking, but there's a sense of place that still impresses. Even more so when you consider the sheer scale and ambition of what Rockstar attempted with San Andreas. With competitors snapping at their heels, clearly there was a need to keep forging ahead, pushing back the boundaries of the sandbox to see how much world we could take.
Does San Andreas still impress you? And what fond memories do you have looking back on the game?

Here it is, the Presidio Theatre, Building 99, 99 Moraga, The Presidio, 94129:
It's been shut down for a while. Here's how the moribund lobby looked in 2008:
There was a plan to open it up again, from back in aught-ten for instance:
…but that plan failed, in part, due to concerns over it competing with other movie theatres about town. So, some interested parties (known as the Xxx Family) donated money to "lobby" against the real Presidio Theatre ever being reopened.
That effort must have worked, 'cause here's how the Presidio Theatre looks today in 2015:
So that's it, Paradise Theatre closed, for good, due to your "friendly," local, millionaire, theatre-hating, theatre-owning merchants.
On It Goes…

Brian Hayes
Reshuffling the Deck of Codons
As early as 1969, Cynthia Alff-Steinberger of the University of
Geneva began trying to quantify the code's resilience to error by
means of computer simulation. The basic idea was to randomly
generate a series of codes that reshuffle the codon table but retain
certain statistical properties, such as the number of codons
associated with each amino acid. Then the error-resistance of the
codes was evaluated by generating point mutations that caused amino
acid substitutions. A code scored well if the erroneous amino acids
were similar to the original ones. With the computing facilities
available in the 1960s, Alff-Steinberger was able to test only 200
variant codes. She concluded that the natural code tolerates
substitutions better than a typical random code.
A decade later J. Tze-Fei Wong of the University of Toronto
approached the same question from another angle—and reached a
different conclusion. Instead of generating many random codes, he
tried a hand-crafted solution, identifying the best substitution for
each amino acid. Wong found that the substitutions generated by the
natural code are less than half as close, on average, as the best
ones possible. This result was taken as evidence that the code has
not evolved to maximize error tolerance. But Wong did not attempt to
find a complete, self-consistent code would generate all the optimal substitutions.
Returning to studies of random codes, David Haig and Laurence D.
Hurst of the University of Oxford generated 10,000 of them in 1991,
keeping the same blocks of synonymous codons found in the natural
code but permuting the amino acids assigned to them. The result
depended strongly on what criterion was chosen to judge the
similarity of amino acids. Using a measure called polar requirement,
which indicates whether an amino acid is hydrophobic or hydrophilic,
the natural code was a stellar performer, better than all but two of
the 10,000 random permutations. But in other respects the biological
code was only mediocre; 56 percent of the random codes did a better
job of matching the electric charge of substituted amino acids.
Focusing on the encouraging result with polar requirement, Hurst and
Stephen J. Freeland (now at the University of Maryland, Baltimore
County) later repeated the experiment with a sample size of 1
million random codes. Using the same evaluation rule as in the
smaller simulation, they found that 114 of the million codes gave
better substitutions than the natural code when evaluated with
respect to polar requirement. Then they refined the model. In the
earlier work, all mutations and all mistranslations were considered
equally likely, but nature is known to have certain
biases—some errors are more frequent than others. When the
algorithm was adjusted to account for the biases, the natural code
emerged superior to every random permutation with a single
exception. They published their results under the title "The
genetic code is one in a million."
But still there was the question of whether polar requirement is the
right criterion for estimating the similarity of amino acids.
Choosing the one factor that gives the best result and ignoring all
others is not an experimental protocol that will convince skeptics.
This issue was addressed in a further series of experiments by
Freeland and Hurst in collaboration with Robin D. Knight and Laura
F. Landweber of Princeton University. Rather than try to deduce
nature's criteria for comparing amino acids, they inferred it from
data on actual mutations. If two amino acids are often found
occupying the same position in variant copies of the same protein,
then it seems safe to conclude that the amino acids are
physiologically compatible. Conversely, amino acids that are never
found to occupy the same position would not be likely substitutions
in a successful genetic code. There is a circularity to this
formulation: The structure of the genetic code helps determine which
substitutions are seen most often, and then the frequencies of
substitutions serve to rank candidate genetic codes. Freeland and
his colleagues argue that they can break the cycle by choosing an
appropriate subset of the mutation data, including only proteins at
substantial evolutionary distance, which should be separated by many mutations.
Using this bootstrap criterion, Freeland and his colleagues compared
the biological code with another set of a million random variations.
The natural code emerged as the uncontested champion. They wrote of
the biological code: "...it appears at or very close to a
global optimum for error minimization: the best of all possible codes."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants fans have long used "Caining" to describe nights when Matt Cain would shine but take the loss because of a lack of run support. Chicago Cubs ace Jeff Samardzija had taken that lack of luck a step further in his first 10 starts, but he finally got in the win column Monday -- at the expense of the Giants.
Long relievers Yusmeiro Petit and David Huff were roughed up and Samardzija got through seven as the Giants fell 8-4 on a sunny day at AT&T Park. Samardzija snapped a 16-start winless streak, but little of that run had to do with the way he was pitching. He had 11 quality starts during the streak and took a 1.46 ERA to the mound Monday before striking out 10 in seven innings.
"What can you say? He's tough," catcher Hector Sanchez said. "He's got gasoline in his arm."
Thanks to a resurgent Pablo Sandoval, Samardzija gave up four runs for just the second time this season. But Petit, starting in place of Cain (hamstring strain), matched that in five innings. Huff gave up four more in 11/3 innings.
"We did score off a tough pitcher," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We couldn't hold them, though. It was an off day for the staff."
Coming off a sweep of the Minnesota Twins, the Giants looked sharp early. Sandoval continued his May tear, driving in the day's first run with a first-inning double and then crushing a low slider into the arcade section in the fourth inning. The homer was the fifth in eight games for Sandoval, who has an RBI in six straight, the longest Giants streak since Hunter Pence drove in a run in seven straight games last September.
The Cubs got an early solo homer from former Giant Nate Schierholtz and took the lead when the bottom of the lineup rallied in the top of the fifth. Samardzija is a good hitter for a pitcher, and he drove in the tying run with a two-out, opposite-field double.
"That kind of broke our back there," Bochy said. "If (Petit) gets out of that inning, we can regroup. I'm not sure if the pitch count caught up with him. He started elevating the ball."
Petit blamed himself for falling behind 2-0 to a pitcher. He had to throw a fastball, and Samardzija, a former star wide receiver at Notre Dame, jumped on it. He scored a batter later on Emilio Bonifacio's triple. Four singles tacked on two more Cubs runs in the sixth, and the Cubs extended their lead with two more runs in the seventh. The Giants (32-19) never mounted a comeback.
"It was an off day for us," Bochy said.
"I thought he looked good," Bochy said. "He felt a lot freer. He was getting his normal bat speed. I think he felt a lot more comfortable today and looked a lot more comfortable."
Sanchez is nicknamed "El Iman" after the Spanish word for "magnet," and he wore a shirt Monday that had a drawing of a magnet on the back. He has always been able to laugh about his strange tendency to take foul tips off different body parts, but after Monday's game Sanchez acknowledged that the situation is getting serious.
"We have to think about it," Sanchez said. "Almost all my hits are in the head."
Sanchez said he had two concussions in the minors but hasn't been diagnosed with one in his three big league seasons. He was tested after Monday's loss and also took a concussion test after a foul tip in Los Angeles earlier this month. He recently spoke to Posey, who suggested "getting smaller" behind the plate when there were no runners on base.
"I tried to do that," Sanchez said. "But I guess the ball followed me. It's something that's happened to me all my career."

OAKLAND -- Yes, Mark Jackson has made the big, brash proclamation before, but now the words are framed by playoff accomplishment and national attention.
After Stephen Curry's and Klay Thompson's scintillating Game 2 tandem performance, could they be fulfilling Jackson's repeated claim that they're the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history?
Better than, ahem, the Lakers' Hall of Fame duo of Jerry West and Gail Goodrich?
"I don't get into those things," West, a member of the Warriors executive board, said with a laugh Wednesday. "I'm happy Mark said that. They're great shooters.
"But I want them to become the greatest backcourt that ever played together."
The ceiling just gets higher and higher for Thompson and Curry, who combined for 51 points and 15 assists and missed only 13 shots in the Warriors' series-turning 131-117 torching of Denver on Tuesday.
Curry is finishing his fourth NBA season; Thompson's in his second. And the Warriors rely on their deep, deep shooting more than any playoff backcourt in recent memory.
So, Jackson's contention is intriguing because it's essentially unprovable and yet so emblematic of his and his team's shoot-for-the-moon style.
Sometimes it looks like Thompson and Curry have the green light to shoot from the moon.
"You look at them, and there's still considerable improvement they can make," West said. "And they're already very good, both of them.
"You just don't see shooting like that from people in this league anymore. I'm glad they're on our side, that's for sure."
It's all part of Jackson's method -- pump up his guys, lean on them and hope to come out victorious enough times to keep moving through the playoffs.
It's bombast, but when Curry and Thompson are shooting the way they did in Game 2 -- and if they can continue the pace through the playoffs -- it can make opponents spin in circles.
"I humbly submit to you I've seen Jerry West and Gail Goodrich -- and there's no disrespect to them," Jackson said Wednesday.
"I was a guy that was not guessing. I was an Earl Monroe guy -- so the same era. I remember Earl and Frazier going against Goodrich and Jerry West.
"Those were two good shooters. I'm dealing with two great shooters."
Chris Mullin -- no shabby shooter himself -- said this is a perfect instance of Jackson giving his key players the freedom to achieve big things.
But Mullin also points out that Curry just set the NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a season and that Thompson is a knockdown, spot-up shooter.
"It's all about the now, right? So right now, yeah, they're the best ever," Mullin said. "Mark knows his guys; he knows he's boosting confidence. It's the right button to push.
"I think Mark deserves a lot of credit. Those guys have total confidence, the green light, and they've been able to consistently make those shots. That's the confidence of the coach rubbing off on the players."
Of course, the same backcourt that shot the Warriors to the lead in one game can shoot them out of the next one.
The advantage for the Warriors in this series: Denver plays a similar style but doesn't have anything close to the Curry-Thompson combination from the perimeter.
Jackson knows that, it's why he keeps talking about it, and it's up to Denver to stop it ... or else Curry and Thompson will keep this debate going into the second round.

Slush a treat! Vernors now a Slurpee drink
Metro Detroit consumes more Slurpees from 7-Eleven than any other U.S. market, so that's why the convenience store chain now is selling a Vernors Slurpee at more than 200 of its Michigan locations.
News of the slushed ginger ale drink broke last week to the delight of Vernors fans.
The idea for a Vernors Slurpee as a regional item was ginned up by 7-Eleven's in-house research department, a spokeswoman said Friday.
The ginger ale is produced in Holland, not Detroit.
7-Eleven opened a Detroit location, on Jefferson Avenue, in February — its first and only since the last store closed in 2003. Another is scheduled to open in May in Cadillac Square.
The Vernor family sold the company in 1966, and the brand has had a number of owners since then.
Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, when it was known as Cadbury Schweppes plc, acquired Vernors when it bought A&W Brands for $334 million in 1993.
Oh, and the top Slurpee-consuming city worldwide is Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Iran: Background
1906 Constitutional Revolution
The Iranian Constitutional Revolution took place between 1905 and 1911. The revolution marked the beginning of the end of Iran's feudalistic society and led to the establishment of a parliament in Persia (Iran). In 1905 Persia (Iran) was still under the rule of the Qajar Dynasty who had ruled Persia since 1781. Over the duration of Qajar rule, Persia had gradually become a victim of Russian and British imperial policies in The Great Game. This international rivalry had caused successive central governments to become increasingly weak and corrupt. The country's management was often handled by powerful regional nobles who paid their token respects to the monarchy. In effect, this resulted in the central government relying on these nobles for both income, justice, and security. In 1890 Naser al-Din Shah granted a nationwide concession over the sale and importation of tobacco products to a British citizen. However, popular protest compelled Naser al-Din to cancel the concession, demonstrating several factors of crucial significance for the years to come: first, that there existed in Iran a mercantile class of sufficient influence to make use of such broad, popular sentiment and, second, that such public outpourings of discontent could limit the scope of the shah's power. More important, the protest demonstrated the growing power of the Shi'ite clergy, members of which had played a crucial role in rallying Iranians against the monopoly and which was to have great influence over political changes to come. At the same time, Iran was increasingly interacting with the West. This contact sparked an interest in democratic institutions among the members of a nascent intellectual class, which itself was a product of new, Western-style schools promoted by the shah. Encouraged by the Russian Revolution of 1905 and influenced by immigrant workers and merchants from Russian-controlled areas of Transcaucasia, the new Iranian intellectuals were, paradoxically, to find common cause with Iran's merchants and Shi'ite clergy. All aggrieved parties found an opportunity for social reform in 1905–06 when a series of demonstrations, held in protest over the government beating of several merchants, escalated into strikes that soon adjourned to a shrine near Tehran, which the demonstrators claimed as a bast (Persian: "sanctuary"). While under this traditional Iranian form of sanctuary, the government was unable to arrest or otherwise molest the demonstrators, and a series of such sanctuary protests over subsequent months, combined with wide-scale general strikes of craftsmen and merchants, forced the ailing shah to grant a constitution in 1906. The first National Consultative Assembly (the Majles) was opened in October of that year. The new constitution provided a framework for secular legislation, a new judicial code, and a free press. All these reduced the power of the royal court and religious authorities and placed more authority in the hands of the Majles, which, in turn, took a strong stand against European intervention. Although the Majles was suppressed in 1908 under Mohammad 'Ali Shah (ruled 1907–09) by the officers of the Persian Cossack Brigade—the shah's bodyguard and the most effective military force in the country at the time—democracy was revived the following year under the second Majles, and Mohammad 'Ali fled to Russia. Constitutionalists also executed the country's highest-ranking cleric, Sheikh Fazlullah Nuri, who had been found guilty by a reformist tribunal of plotting to overthrow the new order—an indication that not all of Iran's religious elite were proponents of reform. In addition, as part of the secular reforms introduced by the Majles, a variety of secular schools were established during that time, including some for girls, causing significant tension between sections of the clergy that had previously advocated reform and their erstwhile intellectual allies.
The new era in Iran's history opened in the 1920s with the coming to power of Reza Khan, a towering figure whose unique personality and unique career left a deep imprint upon the life of his nation. Reza Khan's military reputation, his native intelligence and professionalism served him well and he soon became well known by some prominent Iranians in Tehran and other provinces. In 1921 he headed a British orchestrated coup and occupied Tehran with his Cossack Brigade consequently became war minister. Later in 1921 he negotiated the evacuation of the Russian troops. Reza Khan became prime minister of the new regime in 1923. He negotiated the evacuation of the British forces stationed in Iran since World War I in 1924. In 1925 Reza Khan deposed Ahmad Mirza, the last shah of the Qajar Dynasty, and was proclaimed shah of Iran. He changed his name to Reza Shah Pahlevi, thus founding the Pahlevi dynasty. Reza Shah introduced many great reforms, reorganizing the army, government administration, and finances. He abolished all special rights granted to foreigners, thus gaining real independence for Iran. Reza Shah's achievements could be summed up under three headings: building up the infrastructure of a modern state, asserting independence from foreign domination, and launching sociocultural reforms. The first was the Soviet attempt to set up a separatist Communist government in the province of Gilan. This required both military and diplomatic countermeasures, the outcome being the conclusion of the Soviet-Iranian Treaty of February 1921 and the subsequent withdrawal of Soviet troops from Iranian territory. The second crisis that the Shah faced was the one with Great Britain. It revolved around oil, the concession for which was held by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, the latter in turn controlled by the British Admiralty. Although the showdown between Reza Shah and the British over oil in the early 1930s abounded in moments of tension and recrimination, it ended by a compromise in which rationality and restraint were displayed by both parties. Under Reza Shah's 16 years rule the roads and Trans-Iranian Railway were built, modern education was introduced and the University of Tehran was established, and for the first time systematically dispatch of Iranian students to Europe was started. Industrialization of country was stepped-up, and achievements were great. By the mid 1930's Reza Shah's dictatorial style of rule caused dissatisfaction in Iran. And in 1935 name changed from Persia to Iran. In World War II the Allies protested his rapprochement with the Germans, and in 1941 British and Russian forces invaded and occupied Iran. Forced to abdicate in favour of his son, Mohammad Reza Shah, and he died in exile in Johannesburg of South Africa in 1944.
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1919-80), king of Iran (1941-1979), was born in Tehran on October 26, 1919, the eldest son of Reza Shah. He completed his primary school in Switzerland. He returned to Iran in 1935, and enrolled in a Tehran military school, from which he graduated in 1938. He replaced his father, Reza Shah, on the throne on September 16, 1941, shortly before his 22nd birthday. He continued the reform policies of his father, but a contest for control of the government soon erupted between the shah and an older professional politician, the nationalistic Mohammad Mosaddeq. During World War II, Britain and the USSR were concerned by Reza Shah's friendly relations with Germany. In 1941 the two countries invaded and occupied large areas of Iran. They forced Reza Shah to abdicate, and in the absence of a viable alternative, permitted Mohammad Reza to assume the throne. Despite his vow to act as a constitutional monarch who would defer to the power of the parliamentary government, Mohammad Reza increasingly involved himself in governmental affairs and opposed or thwarted strong prime ministers. Prone to indecision, however, Mohammad Reza relied more on manipulation than on leadership. He concentrated on reviving the army and ensuring that it would remain under royal control as the monarchy's main power base. In 1949 an assassination attempt on the Shah, attributed to the pro-Soviet Tudeh Party, resulted in the banning of that party and the expansion of the Shah's constitutional powers. In the context of regional turmoil and the Cold War, the Shah established himself as an indispensable ally of the West. Domestically, he advocated reform policies, culminating in the 1963 program known as the White Revolution, which included land reform, the extension of voting rights to women, and the elimination of illiteracy. From 1963 and into the seventies, the Shah struggled to modernize Iran - with the help of U.S. foreign policy strategists who saw him as a stabilizing force in the Middle East. And the U.S. appreciated the Shah's acceptance of the existence of Israel. With help from the United States, Iran laid plans for a proliferation of atomic power plants, and the new economic development included the introduction of new fertilizers and pesticides. In 1967 he crowned himself as King of the Kings (Emperor of Iran) and his wife, Farah Diba, as Shahbanoo (Eperess), which caused discontentment amongst diffrent levels of society. These measures and the increasing arbitrariness of the Shah's rule provoked both religious leaders who feared losing their traditional authority and students and intellectuals seeking democratic reforms. These opponents criticized the Shah for violation of the constitution, which placed limits on royal power and provided for a representative government, and for subservience to the United States. In 1976 he replaced the Islamic calendar with an "imperial" calendar, which began with the foundation of the Persian empire more than 25 centuries earlier. These actions were viewed as anti-Islamic and resulted in religious opposition. The shah's regime suppressed and marginalized its opponents with the help of Iran's security and intelligence organization, the SAVAK. Relying on oil revenues, which sharply increased in late 1973, the Shah pursued his goal of developing Iran as a mighty regional power dedicated to social reform and economic development. Yet he continually sidestepped democratic arrangements and refused to allow meaningful civic and political liberties, remaining unresponsive to public opinion. By the mid-1970s the Shah reigned amidst widespread discontent caused by the continuing repressiveness of his regime, socioeconomic changes that benefited some classes at the expense of others, and the increasing gap between the ruling elite and the disaffected populace. Islamic leaders, particularly the exiled cleric Ayatollah Khomeini, were able to focus this discontent with a populist ideology tied to Islamic principles and calls for the overthrow of the shah. The Shah's government collapsed following widespread uprisings in 1978 -1979 and consequently an Islamic Republic succeeded his regime. Beset by advanced cancer, the shah left Iran in January 1979 to begin a life in exile. He lived in Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas, and Mexico before going to the United States for treatment of lymphatic cancer. His arrival in New York City led to the Iranian takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran by "Students of Imam's Line" and the taking hostage of more than 50 Americans for 444 days. The Shah died in Cairo, Egypt, on July 27, 1980.
When Britain and Russia forced Reza Shah from power in favour of his son, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, in 1941, Dr. Mosaddeq became a member of Parliament. He was hailed as a hero for his fiery speeches on the evils of British control of Iran's oil industry. In 1951, when Parliament voted for Oil Nationalization, the young shah, recognizing the nationalists' popularity, appointed Dr. Mosaddeq prime minister. He amassed power. When the shah refused his demand for control of the armed forces in 1952, Dr. Mosaddeq resigned, only to be reinstated in the face of popular riots. He then displayed a streak of authoritarianism, bypassing Parliament by conducting a national referendum to win approval for its dissolution. Meanwhile, the United States became alarmed at the strength of Iran's Communist Party, which supported Dr. Mosaddeq. In August 1953, a dismissal attempt by the shah sent Dr. Mosaddeq's followers into the streets. The shah fled, amid fears in the new Eisenhower administration that Iran might move too close to Moscow. The 1953 Iranian coup d'état removed the nationalist cabinet of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh from power, supported by a covert operation, codenamed Operation Ajax (officially TP-AJAX) by the United Kingdom and the United States. The coup was performed in order to support the Pahlavi dynasty and consolidate the power of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, attempting to preserve the Western control of Iran's oil infrastructure and to prevent the rising influence of communists in the Iranian government. The coup was the culmination of a long conflict between Mossadeq, the Shah, and the parliament of Iran. Mossadeq was taken to trial and served three years in prison and ended up under house arrest at his estate. In March 1967, in his mid-80's and weakened by radium treatments for throat cancer, he died. The coup was a turning point in modern Iranian history and remains a persistent irritant in Tehran-Washington relations. It consolidated the power of the shah, who ruled with an iron hand for 26 more years in close contact with the United States. He was toppled by Iranian Revolution of 1979. Later that year, "Students of Imam Line" went to the American Embassy, took diplomats hostage and declared that they had unmasked a "nest of spies" who had been manipulating Iran for decades.
It has been called "the third great revolution in history," following the French and Bolshevik revolutions. It was aimed at liberating Iran and the Third World from colonialism and neo-colonialism. Despite economical growth, there was much opposition against the Mohammad Reza Shah, and how he used the secret police, the Savak, to control the country. Strong Shi'i opposition against the Shah, and the country came close to a situation of civil war. The opposition was lead by Ayatollah Khomeini, who lived in exile in Iraq and later in France. His message was distributed through music cassettes, which were smuggled into Iran in small numbers, and then duplicated, and spread all around the country. This was the beginning of Iranian revolution. On January 16 1979, the Shah left Iran. Shapour Bakhtiar as his new prime minister with the help of Supreme Army Councils couldn't control the situation in the country anymore. Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran on February 1. Ten days later Bakhtiar went into hiding, eventually to find exile in Paris. Processes against the supporters of the Shah started, and hundreds were executed. On April 1, after a landslide victory in a national referendum in which only one choice was offered (Islamic Republic: Yes or No), Ayatollah Khomeini declared an Islamic republic with a new Constitution reflecting his ideals of Islamic government. Ayatollah Khomeini became supreme spiritual leader (Valy-e-Faqih) of Iran. Subsequently many demonstrations were held in protest to the new rules, like extreme regulations on women's code of dress. Khomeini and his ulama allies wanted an judiciary government - rule by Islamic Sharia. On March 3, Khomeini announced that no judge was to be female. On March 6, he announced that women were to wear the hejab head covering. Khomeini declared that all non-Islamic forces were to be removed from the government, the military, judiciary, public and private enterprises and educational institutions. Corrupt behavior and customs were to be ended. Alcohol and gambling were to be banned and so too were nightclubs and mixed bathing. Friday noon prayer and sermons were to be focal point of the week, and all Friday prayer leaders were to be appointed by Khomeini. In school classrooms prayers were to become mandatory. Khomeini spoke of music corrupting youth, and he banned all music on radio and television and closed twenty-two opposition newspapers. Khomeini called the United States the "Great Satan" and the U.S. embassy a "den of spies." His followers seized the embassy and held 53 Americans there hostage, demanding that the U.S. deliver to Iran the Shah as an exchange. The Carter Administration refused, and Americans were to remain as hostages until November 1980. The Shah meanwhile had died of cancer. The Khomeini regime began new negotiations to free the hostages, fearing perhaps the tougher man, Reagan, more than they had Carter. In January 1981, on the day that Reagan was inaugurated president, Iran agreed to free the hostages in exchange for $8 billion in frozen assets and a promise by the United States to lift trade sanctions. In November: The republic's first Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan resigned. In 1980 Abolhassan Beni Sadr was elected for president. In 1981, on January 20, the hostages in the US embassy were released, after long negotiations, where USA concedes to transfer money, as well as export military equipment to Iran. In June, Beni Sadr was removed from power by Ayatollah Khomeini, and fleed to France in July. Former prime minister Mohammad Ali Rajai was elected president.
On September 22, 1980, Iraq invaded Iran with the aim of seizing control of the strategic Arvand Rood, gaining control of Khuzestan's oil fields, and establishing a puppet government in the occupied territories of Iran. In fact, Iraq provoked and supported by governments that had lost their economic advantage and political influence in Iran - was among those who attempted to exploit situation in Iran in the aftermath of the Revolution. Within months, however, Iraqi troops had come mired in intense combat in the Khuzestan province. And, within less than two years, the Iranian military forces along with a mobilized popular army, had pulsed most of the Iraq forces from Khuzestan. withstanding the outrageous Iraqi invasion, the international community failed at the time, to identify Saddam Hussein as the aggressor, and did not help to restore peace in the region. Moreover, the pro-Iraqi position of the U.S States, the former Soviet Union, and some countries of the Arab world enabled Baghdad to continue its aggression. By initiation the "tankers war" in the Persian Gulf in February 1984, the Iraqi regime sought to internationalize the conflict in order to intensify the pressure on Iran to accept negotiations on Iraqi terms. Meanwhile, in gross violation of international law, Iraq resorted to widespread use of chemical weapons and ballistic missiles against Iran. In 1987, the Security Council adopted resolution 598 in which, for the first time, the question of responsibility for the conflict was raised. Iran did not reject the resolution because, from the beginning of the Iraqi aggression, Iran had been calling for the identification of the aggressor and its punishment. The re-flagging of Kuwait oil tankers by the US and the Soviet Union in Spring 1987 and the US attacks against Iranian oil installations in the Persian Gulf as well as the US covert and overt assistance to Iraqi on intelligence matters during 1987-88 represented the sharpest tilt by the superpowers, particularly the US, towards Iraq. The shooting down of an Iranian civil airliner by the USS Vincennes in the territorial waters of Iran in the Persian Gulf in which more than 290 innocent civilians were killed added a new dimension to the war. The continued Iraqi use of chemical weapons and missiles attacks against the civilian areas coupled with the super- powers' support for the Iraqi war efforts proved that Iraq and its supporters had decided to spread the war at any price. Therefore, on July 18, 1988, Iran officially declared its acceptance of resolution 598, and subsequently the cease-fire became effective. In 1991, Mr. Javier Perez de Cuellar, then UN Secretary- General, in implementation of paragraph 6 of resolution 598, declared Iraq as the responsible party for the conflict.
In October 1981, Hojatoleslam Seyed Ali Khamenei was elected president. Khamenei was one of the founders of the Islamic Republican Party, which dominated the Majlis (the national legislature) after the 1979 revolution. He was appointed to the Council of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and between 1979 and 1981 he was a member of the Majlis, serving as deputy minister of defense, commander of the Revolutionary Guard, and representative on the Supreme Council of Defense. He also served several times as general secretary of the Islamic Republic Party. Following Ayatollah Khomeini's death on 3 June 1989 of a heart attack, Khamenei assumed the role of supreme spiritual leader. The Assembly of Experts (Ulama) met in emergency session on June 4 and elected President Khamenei the new Valy-e-Faqih (supreme spiritual leader), simultaneously promoting him to the status of ayatollah. And Hojatoleslam Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, speaker of the Majles (parliament) was elected as a president. He graduated in the late 1950s as a Hojatoleslam, a Shiite clerical rank just below that of ayatollah. Opposed, like his mentor, to the rule of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Rafsanjani became the exiled Khomeini's chief agent in Iran, was arrested on several occasions, and spent three years in prison (1975-1977) for his activities. In 1990-1991 Iran condemned both Iraq's invasion in Kuwait and the allied forces actions against Iraq. Rafsanjani was re-elected in 1993 but stepped down in 1997, since the Iranian constitution limits the president from seeking a third term. From 1995 was total ban on trade with Iran by USA.
In 1997 Hojatoleslam Mohammad Khatami was elected president by gaining almost 70 percent of the votes cast. He pursued political reform and opposed censorship. He is considered to be reformist towards democratization of Iran's society and willing to normalize the relation with west and reduce tensions in the region. Although popular among much of the Iranian public, these policies met considerable opposition from conservatives who controlled the legislature and judiciary. Hojatoleslam Mohammad Khatami was again re-elected as president in 2001 election by greater mandate of Iranian people (almost 78% of the vote cast). On 24 June 2005 Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected as Iran's sixth president. He swept to the presidential post with a stunning 17,046,441 votes out of a total of 27,536,069 votes cast in the runoff election.

Superintendent candidates announced
Six candidates have confirmed interviews this month with the Pequot Lakes School Board. Now that the candidates agreed to the interviews, their names are public, Pequot Lakes School Board Chair Valarie Wallin said.
Those six, in no particular order, are Brian Koslofsky, Rick Bleichner, Todd Lyscio, Dave Endicott, Chris Lindholm and Dan Parent. Parent will interview on March 25; the other five candidates will interview on March 14 beginning at 12:30 p.m.
The board named the candidates at a special meeting Monday, March 11.
Endicott is principal of Eagle View Elementary. Wallin said that the board will keep a level playing field among the candidates.
"We're very excited he's a candidate, but we're also excited about other candidates," Wallin said.
She noted that Lyscio has ties to area. Lyscio is executive director of the National Joint Powers Alliance in Staples.
Koslofsky is the superintendent of Bertha-Hewitt schools, and Lindholm is listed on the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District website as assistant superintendent. Parent is superintendent of Northland Community Schools, the Remer district. Bleichner is superintendent of Breckenridge, Minn. schools.
The board is still accepting applications for the position, which was vacated when current superintendent Rick Linnell submitted his resignation in November, with his last day being June 30.
The job posting will be open until March 18. Originally, the board had planned to end the posting on March 5. They had listed two years of superintendent experience as a qualification for the job, but the board received applications from candidates who they wanted to interview but lacked two years of experience.
In the interest of fairness, the job posting was left open and criteria changed to "superintendent experience preferred."
Following the first round of interviews March 14, the board will look into any new resumes they've received and plan out a second round, Wallin said.
In other business Monday, the board chose its interview questions for the March 14 and 25 interviews, but not for the final interviews. Those questions are still private, Wallin said.

Adirondack Community College will offer a 3 night beekeeping class suited for people wanting to start keeping bees. It will be taught at their Wilton campus from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. The topics will include the parts and bees in the hives, the products of the hive, diseases that affect bees, other "bees" and how they compare to honeybees, spring management, and summer and fall management. The people participating should feel comfortable getting equipment built through the winter and then starting with bees in the spring. Alternatively, they will be able to impress someone at a cocktail party with their knowledge of beekeeping.
The course is taught by Chris Cripps, a veterinarian who started with bees as a Boy Scout merit badge project in the mid 80s. At Cornell, he took beekeeping classes with Roger Morse, and in Ohio, he worked as a bee inspector for 2 counties while in veterinary school. He loves to teach and is really looking forward to teaching the class.
To register, call the SUNY Adirondack Community College Continuing Education department at 518-743-2238. There are 24 seats available. The cost is $45.
If there are questions about the class, address them to Chris at chris at beevet dot com.

About the Author
Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche was born in the Doshul region of Kham in eastern Tibet, on June 10, 1950. On that summer day in the family tent, Khenpo Rinpoche's birth caused his mother Pema Lhadze no pain. The next day, upon moving the bed where she delivered the baby, his mother found growing a beautiful and fragrant flower, which she plucked and offered to Chenrezig on the family altar.
Soon after Khenpo Tsewang was born, three head lamas from Jadchag Monastery came to his home and recognized him as the reincarnation of Khenpo Sherab Khyentse, who had been the former head abbot at Gochen Monastery. Sherab Khyentse was a renowned scholar and practitioner who spent much of his life in retreat.
Khenpo Rinpoche began his formal schooling at age five, when he entered Gochen Monastery. However, his first Dharma teacher was his father, Lama Chimed Namgyal Rinpoche. The Chinese invasion of Tibet interrupted his studies, and he escaped to India with his family in 1959. There his father and brother continued his education until he entered the Nyingmapa Monastic School of northern India, where he studied until 1967. Khenpo Rinpoche then entered the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, which at the time was part of Sanskrit University in Varanasi, where he received his BA degree in 1975. He also attended Nyingmapa University in West Bengal, where he received another BA and an MA in 1977.
In 1978, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche enthroned Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche as the abbot of the Wish-fulfilling Nyingmapa Institute in Boudanath, Nepal, where he taught poetry, grammar, and philosophy. Then, in 1981, His Holiness appointed Khenpo Rinpoche as the abbot of the Dorje Nyingpo center in Paris, France. Finally, in 1982, he asked Khenpo Tsewang to work with him at the Yeshe Nyingpo center in New York. From that time until His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's mahaparinirvana in 1987, Khenpo Rinpoche continued to work closely with him, often traveling with His Holiness as his translator and attendant.
In 1988, Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche and his brother, Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, founded the Padmasambhava Buddhist Center. Since that time, he has served as a spiritual director at the various Padmasambhava Buddhist centers throughout the world. He maintains an active traveling and teaching schedule.
Khenpo Rinpoche is the author of Light of Fearless Indestructible Wisdom: The Life and Legacy of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, published in both Tibetan and English. He has also authored a book of poetry on the life of Guru Rinpoche entitled Praise to the Lotus Born: A Verse Garland of Waves of Devotion, and a unique two-volume cultural and religious history of Tibet entitled Six Sublime Pillars of the Nyingma School, which details the historical bases of the Dharma in Tibet from the sixth to ninth centuries. At present, Six Sublime Pillars is one of the only books to convey the Dharma activities of this period in such depth, and His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche encouraged Khenpo Tsewang to complete it, describing the work as an important contribution to the history of the kama lineage.
Along with these, Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche has co-authored over twenty Dharma books in English with Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/20/redesigned-scion-xb-and-new-xd-set-to-debut-in-chicago/Auto show season is in full tilt boogie and the latest news is that Scion intends to debut two new vehicles at the Chicago show next month.The first vehicle will be a redesign of the rolling toaster known as the xB, which may share some design cues with the t2b that debuted in New York in 2005. The other vehicle set to be unveiled in the Windy City is the replacement for the moribund xA: the xD. Although Scion devotees were shown the xD late last year, no photos have surfaced. However, one rumor circulating the web is that it will draw on Toyota's Urban Cruiser concept (pictured) that was shown in Geneva last year.We'll be on hand for the official unveiling in Chicago, but if you'd like to share in the festivities, Scion is holding a virtual press conference in tandem with the real world event in Second Life. So update your avatar, register here and be online Thursday, February 8th at 9 AM CT.
The xD (replacement for the xA) supposed to be based on the Toyota Urban Cruiser concept.I love it!Too bad I just got my xA!
I am real interested in the XB replacement. Can't wait to see pictures and see the specifications.
The concept looks cool. I wonder how much of the production version will be drawn from the concept? We will find out soon enough.
Supreme Emperor of the Testing Forum, CTS and Offshoreqa forums.
Wow, Chicago Auto Show is shaping up to be a major auto show. For now world production car debuts are the G8, Astra, Scions...
Toyota's answer to the Jeep Compass? Besides the grille, it looks awfully like one. I've actually heard DCX and Toyota are in it together with this one - hence the resemblance.Cute how they used a commonly used symbol on the internet by younguns to name this car (XD). Maybe this is a car that should make us laugh? XD XD
I look at it and I see... rabbit.... "Little bunny foo foo ...."
Anyone else wonder how bad Chevy's slogans throughout the years would be taken if it manufactured toilet paper?
Kermit and Miss Piggy got it on......
Will be more interested in seeing the xB replacement.Sat in one of those recently and the room was amazing, wait, shocking. I believe I had more room in the back of it than I do in a Suburban. I'm 6' 2", all legs, and I could stretch out back there.However, one of the criticisms is that it has a stiff, bumpy ride compared to competitors, so I'd like to see if they resolve that with this one.

I like the styling, but I think an SUV-let goes against the Scion grain. Perhaps it will just be on stilts. Any word on what wheels will be powered? I'd hate to see AWD hooked up to that tiny 1.5L engine...
Now THAT's cool. Love the color too!
"Honda introduced the first FCX hydrogen fuel cell car 18 years ago." - http://www.centredaily.com/business/story/101652.html
Where's the Great Wall Coolbear's partner?
You know, And so many of you want Toyota to monopolize the auto-market. With this nastiness? I hate bubbly Toyota styling just as much as Ford's bubbly phase during the mid-late 90's, we can't let ugliness dominate the auto market.Wait a minute, Ford actually sold well with bubbly styling during the mid-late 90's....NOOOO!!! What's wrong with people?

— Nancy Miller, Former Director Court Programs & Services Division
In 1985, Oregon's legislature created a statewide foster care review program of citizen volunteers to help state courts ensure that case plans and services meet the needs of children in foster care and youth offenders in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority. These citizen volunteers and the staff who support them are the Citizen Review Board, known as the CRB.
The legislature purposefully placed the CRB in the state judicial branch under the direction of the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, independent of the state's foster care programs. The CRB checks and balances child-welfare and juvenile-justice agencies in Oregon's executive branch that serve Oregon's children, youth, and families.
In reviewing plans and services for children and youth, local boards seek to ensure that:
In reviews of cases involving an abused or neglected child, local boards invite parents, foster parents, attorneys, caseworkers, court-appointed special advocates (CASAs), other interested parties, and the child, if appropriate, to attend the CRB review and discuss plans for the child. The board then makes findings and recommendations to the Juvenile Court and the Department of Human Services (DHS).
Local boards also review information about youth offenders in substitute care in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA). These reviews focus on public safety, youth offender accountability, and reformation.
In addition to the board reviews, the CRB makes recommendations to juvenile courts, Department of Human Services, Oregon Youth Authority, and the legislature concerning services, policies, procedures, and laws that affect children, youth, and families.
See Our Reviews for more information on the review process and the underlying state policy.
Our Members
For local boards, the CRB recruits citizens with interest in or special knowledge of foster care and child welfare to serve on panels of 3 to 7 members who represent the diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, racial, and cultural populations in their county.
Oregon's Chief Justice appoints local board members from a list provided by the presiding judge of their local circuit court. Approximately 350 citizen volunteers on 83 local boards now serve statewide, in all but the three least populous counties.
Local volunteer board members receive 16 hours of orientation and 8 hours of continuing education each year after that. Volunteer board members must meet several other requirements, as well. See I Want to Help for more information on qualifications, the job description, and how to apply to become a volunteer board member.

Our more than 143,000 combined followers on Twitter (click here for that) and on Facebook (then click here to subscribe to that) know that on weekday afternoons we regularly share a selection of that evening's late-night jokes before broadcast.
Usually, we publish a collection of these jokes at the start of each week.
Fallon: All the retiring senators are giving their farewell speeches this week. They each get a gold watch that stopped working years ago.
Leno: Barbara Walters named Honey Boo Boo as one of 2012's Most Fascinating People. Now Barbara has been named the Most Easily Fascinated Person of 2012.
Conan: Taylor Swift turns 23 this week. Taylor said she's at that age where she wants to settle down, then break up and then write a hit song about it.
Fallon: Christmas Eve is just two weeks away, and a recent survey found that 66 million Americans haven't started their holiday shopping. Which means they only have 14 more days to find out which gas station near their house sells Chili's gift cards.
Conan: The government suspects some apps steal private info from children. The most suspicious children's app is called "Dora the Pin Number Explorer."
Conan: Five days of Hanukah left for my Jewish friends, 14 days until Christmas for my Christian friends and just 10 days left to live for my Mayan friends.
Fallon: Facebook was down for an hour, but now says it's 100% back to working. Which means the rest of us can finally stop.
Fallon: Honda recalls 800,000 new cars. They can roll away without any keys in. You can take the car in yourself or just point it toward the dealership.
Letterman: Barbara Walters Most Fascinating People of the Year. That show goes way back. The first two most fascinating people were the Wright Bros.
Conan: The Spice Girls musical debuted in London the other night. So, it turns out the Mayans were off by just a few weeks.
Leno: According to the Census Bureau, 80% of those living to be more than 100 years old or older are women. Researchers believe women live longer because they menstruate, which reduces iron overload on the body. I'm no medical expert, but I don't believe women live longer because they menstruate. I think men die sooner because women menstruate.
Fallon: That new North Korea satellite is unstable and could collide with several American satellites. Or as North Korea calls that, "The point."
Fallon: Victoria's Secret has released a Christmas music video that features six models in lingerie. It's called "The Twelve D's of Christmas."
Conan: During the benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy victims, Kanye West wore a leather skirt. So now they're having a benefit concert for people who had to see that.
Fallon: The new Hobbit movie is out. I heard it's almost three hours long. Marking the first time people are like, "Yeah, I'm gonna save myself some time and just read the book."
GOP's Rubio: 'Tax increases will not solve our $16 trillion debt'
Obama: 'We must take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this'
Little-noticed court ruling allows church challenges to proceed against ObamaCare

Mayor's Notebook: City streets, city parks, city squads
Although the weather has certainly been chilly over the past weeks, the snow and cold bring out the snowmobiles and ice fishermen, among others. It's nice to see the trails and lakes in use.
On the other hand, our city streets seem to suffer from the same issues that are positive for the above mentioned. Just to remind everyone, the streets (and certainly my driveway) are made worse from the three times that rain arrived to freeze prior to it snowing again. We have a big sign, "Icy - Caution" stuck in a snowbank near our front door.
That being said, I'd like to share something I have learned: Putting down salt, sand or a mixture of the two when the weather is below 10 to 12 degrees does nothing except waste the products. True salt does not work below those temperatures, and sand at those temperatures just skitters along the top, so even a mixture does no good.
We can all hope for temperatures to rise before long to allow application of the mixture. When that happens, you'll see the city trucks out using their "belly blade" to scrape down the street to allow more melting below.
After the city council "Brainstorming for the Future" meeting in January, one of the top areas was parks — park improvement, upgrades and so forth. Needless to say, Sibley Lake Park was at the top of that list because of the need for replacement of stairs (first bid was $70,000!).
In that light, the Park Board has developed a very simple survey asking residents for input on improving Sibley Park to be more user friendly. While some forms have been handed out in the neighborhood of the park, it is also online at the city website (www.pequotlakes-mn.gov) for everyone to use.
Just go to the city site, look on the right-hand side and scroll down until you see information about the survey. It's VERY simple and the Park Board would truly appreciate your input, especially before its next meeting in early March.
Finally, you might be aware of concerns about police cars running unnecessarily. After carefully searching city and police policies, this issue is not covered nor mentioned. My thanks, however, to Councilman Scott Pederson who did extensive research on the issue. His research overwhelmingly supports that there are many reasons for this to occur.
I quote from Edina, Minn., Police Chief Jeff Long's July 9, 2012, Blog on this issue, "Today's squad cars are literally mobile offices ..." It's a great article, please feel free to check it out.

A type of sickness, symptoms include: getting sick of all the 2008 election TV coverage, getting sick of everyone talking about the 2008 election, getting sick of arguing about the 2008 election, getting sick of everyone filling up message boards with their opinions about the 2008 election to a point where it creates anger, nausea, frustration, or just not giving a shit anymore.

Checked them yesterday the only bees I assume were from my stronger hive because they were leaving the weaker one and going to my stronger one, There were no dead bees just a few robbers. Not sure where they went did they die are did they pack up move? There were still some stored honey and a hand full of capped brood. Thanks in advance for your help

The greatest Giants QB of all time!
The greatest Giants QB of all time!
Players come and go on the Free Agency Merry-Go-Round, but the N.Y. Giants will always be here!
funny how every one *****es that these new rules are ruining the game, fines for what was a legal hit a few years ago when I see none of that stuff in a clip from just 50yrs ago.
No one used their head as a missle, but more importantly, ALMOST NO MISSED TACKLES. I think this mentality of hit em with your head as hard as possible and try to be as violent as possible is what damaged the game.
I don't think so. In fact it's hard for me to compare any of those 1950 and 60 QB's with the late 70's and 80's players and beyond. The game has changed dramatically, it might've been more of a brutal sport back then but there was a bunch of stiffs out there playing football. That's not a racial comment either, it's just saying that conditioning and preparations have changed. Foods we eat has changed, the length of the season, everything from the equipment on down. BTW, I didn't watch your vid so I don't know if you were joking or not.
Players come and go on the Free Agency Merry-Go-Round, but the N.Y. Giants will always be here!
I dont think football is dietary issue........Butkus was and still would be the best MLBer........Jim Brown the best RB........and on and on
You probably never saw those "stiffs" play
Could the present day Heat beat the 68 Knicks??? NO way......not even close
YA only played here for 3 years.his career was SF49ers for 10 years.
that's like calling Joe Montana the greatest KC Chief QB of all time.
due to the fact that I am from the Woodstock generation ...
my opinions may be chemically enhanced and influenced by severe episodes of memory loss
I don't even think Y.A Tittle (the poster on here) would agree with that assessment.
Tell me something, what was the highest point total the '68 Knicks ever scored? Basketball changed too... what year was it when they incorporated the 3 point line?

text: It maybe early. But I had some free time on Saturday. So I thru together a 5 frame nuc out of scrap. Decided to make it a swarm trap. I put 4 frames w/ foundation in it (I don't have any drawn frames yet) and straped it to one of my trees about 10' off the ground. I put a couple of drops of lemmon oil inside and at the entrance. I have a hummingbird feeder with 1:1 close by covered with bees. Sat, Sun, and today had 3-4 bees all day checking it out. I have no bees in this area, so I hope to catch a feral swarm.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Dec 14, 2007.
No way. He has to at least make the NBA Finals or he is gone. No improvement, no more Flip.
Coach, it's not his fault if the players are not makin' shots. Think I quoted this from quite a number of members in here. And it's not his fault either when opposing players can dribble penetrate into the paint so easily.
Charles, Reggie, and Kenny all agreed that if the Pistons don't make it to the NBA Finals that Flip is gone.
When did they buy the team?
They were just giving their opinions. That is what they get paid for.
I can't disagree...who could? Flip got spoon-fed a team of great players in a franchise with a proud history of surprising people that didn't give them credit...and he's managed to under-achieve them. Flip took the heart out of the Pistons by alienating Ben. Kudos to Sheed...he's doing his best to maintain the Piston heritage despite Flip's lackluster coaching.
I don't know if I'd want Ben on the team right now at $12 mil a season. But Flip has shown weakness in the playoffs, and that's unacceptable in Detroit. That's the bottom line. However, as long as Davidson owns the team, we are at his mercy as far as coach goes. Joe is the company men and he'll work at Davidson's orders. I am sure he has a say in the whole thing, but Davidson makes the final decision.
The ECF is plenty for Davidson. We're attending the conference finals regularly now and that is enough for the owner. Other teams are being SURPRISED in the EARLY rounds, but that is not happening to the Pistons. Flip will stay as long as the Pistons win 50 and make Davidson 20 million. I don't even think the ECF are necessary THIS YEAR.........
Listening to thegame last night I was surprised that Reggie was up in arms about Stuckey not playing. He kept saying that he should have been in to see how he handles the situation instead of Hunter. Surprisingly it was Fratello standing up for his coaching brethren that the Pistons "needed" that win last night. I did not realize they were on the brink of elimination already. Last night was a perfect example of why Pop is a better coach and will get further in the play offs. He learned a ton about how his "team"; not just his starters; will perform in a play off atmosphere against some of the better players in the league. Who he should and shouldn't play in certain situations and what are the good and bad match ups. Flip learned that Lindsey can still play defense for 3 minutes. He has no idea how AA or Stuckey will match up against Parker and Manu. Can Hayes get open for his shot? Missed opportunity to find out what will work when you meet them in the playoffs. Unless the starters are going to play 40+ minutes for the 5 games it takes for them to wear us down and blow us out. Piss poor rotations last nite from a piss poor coach.
What i wonder is if we don't make the Finals, and Flip does get fired, will Joe D break up the team? or chalk it up to just the coach not getting it done? Or would he even consider breaking up the team before firing the coach? I'm beginning to hate regular season wins.
Doesn't Flip have another year left on his contract after this season? My guess is Flip will coach-out his contract.
They are assuming no lame duck coach. If he doesn't win this year; no extension hence no final year. Too bad they didn't mean just a "lame" coach. He would have been gone after year 2.
Separate names with a comma.

Parenteral Dilantin®
(phenytoin sodium) Injection, USP
The rate of intravenous Dilantin administration should not exceed 50 mg per minute in adults and 1-3 mg/kg/min (or 50 mg per minute, whichever is slower) in pediatric patients because of the risk of severe hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias. Careful cardiac monitoring is needed during and after administering intravenous Dilantin. Although the risk of cardiovascular toxicity increases with infusion rates above the recommended infusion rate, these events have also been reported at or below the recommended infusion rate. Reduction in rate of administration or discontinuation of dosing may be needed (see WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Dilantin (phenytoin sodium injection, USP) is a ready-mixed solution of phenytoin sodium in a vehicle containing 40% propylene glycol and 10% alcohol in water for injection, adjusted to pH 12 with sodium hydroxide.

Legal Latino Says He Was Wrongfully Detained
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The Allentown man who says he was wrongfully detained by immigration officials is speaking out.
"I'm still shocked every time I think about it. It's like how could this happen," said Allentown resident Ernesto Galarza.
36-year-old Ernesto Galarza was born in New Jersey, but two years ago he was locked up in Lehigh County Prison, because he says, authorities thought he was an illegal immigrant. "These people just took it into their hands to decide where I was from, without asking me," said Galarza.
The ACLU has filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf against the city of Allentown, Lehigh County, and federal officials.
"Mistakes like this cannot be allowed. This county does not allow detention based on race," said ACLU spokesperson Valerie Burch.
Galarza says on November 20, 2008 police mistakenly picked him up during a drug sweep.
He was transferred to Lehigh County Prison.
Galarza says he posted bail the next day.
"When I'm walking out I see the door opening, that put a smile on my face, but then it starts closing again. I'm like what, what happened," said Galarza.
Galarza was told he was being detained, but he wasn't told why until three days later when he met with a counselor.
"I also told the counselor in my wallet you guys got my driver's license, my Social Security card with my name on it," said Galarza.
When he met with ICE that same day, that's when he says, officials realized their mistake and let him go.
Galarza says he's still stunned by what happened.
"I don't want nobody else to be in my shoes especially when you're born in the United States," said Galarza.
Meantime, ICE declined to comment about the case.
Allentown officials say they're currently reviewing the lawsuit.
