This is also a wonderful detoxer! After many years of systemic candida infection, I needed a serious detox. When I started drinking this tea, I was pleasantly surprised by its powerful detoxing effect: constipation gone, detox from facial skin greatly increased (even with some break-outs), water retention much decreased, gum swelling much decreased, etc. etc. I made plenty of iced tea with it and some green tea and drank 2 to 4 glasses a day so I can also take in fluid. Continued for a few months. I think you need to use at least 2 tea bags a day to see significant effects. I took a few months break and feeling great, and I am starting another cycle again! Really works.
Nice product

I bought it to strengthen kidney function, but was told by herbalist that in Chinese herbalism language, kidney fortifier means more general immune system, not kidney specifically
Works for me!

Seems to be helping with the lingering affects (cloudy, strong-smelling urine) of a kidney/UT infection. For best effect, I recommend following directions and drinking it several times a day.

I stumbled upon this for kidney fortifying purposes, but I had started it with a bad chest cold and this cleared me up in one day!! I read up about Eleuthero, and this has it in it and must be very good quality - My energy is better and overall mood - Great Stuff!

Hoping this works.

I take this because my kidneys are very lazy.....I think that what it does do is support normal kidney function rather than kicking them into action and stressing them further. So fewer trips to the loo at night 👍🏻 Hopefully my next check up will show an improvement

Read our review of the latest 2011 slim Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - thinner and lighter than the iPad 2!
At times one of the toughest aspects to writing a review is working out which category it should be listed in. The Samsung Galaxy Tab presents a slightly different problem: what category do you file a product that is pretending to be something else...
We'll get into this later because it's key to the scores you see above, but let's get the big picture stuff out of the way first. As many of you will know, the Galaxy Tab is not just Samsung's first Android tablet it is also the tablet widely hyped as being the one with the most potential to trouble Apple's all conquering iPad.
The reason for all this attention is a simple one-two combination of hardware and software. On the hardware front the Galaxy Tab seems to have the full package: tablet essentials like multi-touch support, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth alongside iPad omissions such as full phone functionality and front and rear cameras plus the horsepower to back it via a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 graphics. The choice of a smaller 7in screen also makes the Tab much smaller and lighter (190.1 x 120.5 x 12mm, 380g) than Apple's 9.7in iPad (242.8 x 189.7 x 13.4mm, 680g - WiFi only, 730 WiFi 3G). Topping it off on the software side is the seemingly unstoppable Google Android. Surely nothing could go wrong?
Well it doesn't, immediately. First impressions of the Tab are good. The elegant, minimal packaging could have come straight out of Cupertino and the device itself feels well made with no creaks or squeaks (as we've become accustomed to with some rubbish on the market). Sim and microSD card slots are well positioned and volume and power buttons continue the theme of excellent build quality. Even before we switch the Tab on, however, the cracks begin to emerge.
For a start the Tab is slippy in hand. Having removed the front and rear plastic covers I spent time looking for another mystery packing layer, it didn't exist and for a device meant to be carried in one hand it can feel precarious at times. A Kindle 3G it most certainly isn't.
The second element to set alarm bells ringing is Samsung's choice of a proprietary charger. The logic behind this is to create something sturdy for third party add-ons like keyboards and stands, though in truth it makes a mockery of the slow but steady steps taken by the industry towards a universal charger format.
Worse still, the real problems begin once you switch it on...

text: He's one of the greatest unsung heroes of the team, always pinning the opponent within the 10 if not the 5. That intentional grounding safety doesn't happen without him, the OT FG against the niners gets pulled without his expert handling of a low snap, things like that. If we had him in the 2010 season, we wouldn't STILL be talking about djax screwing us over royally. Also, punters are relatively inexpensive to franchise, and Weatherford definitely earned his paycheck this year.

These small chocolate hearts are an ideal cake topping for a Valentine's day cake I'm planning. I've used other chocolate cake decorations from the Chocolate Trading Co before and their decorations have never failed to impress. Excellent quality and very reasonable delivery, especially given the care and attention they pay to their packaging. Thoroughly recommended.

The adults at my parents wedding anniversary party had a delicious cigarello decorated cake, but for the children, I made some simple cup cakes and used these chocolate hearts to sprinkle on and decorate the tops of the cakes. I 'taste-tested' one as i was making the cakes and they were very tasty, not at all sugary.

Recent teen crime in Colorado Springs raises questions
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Some Colorado Springs community members said recent teen crime in Colorado Springs is a reflection of growing crime among adolescents in the area.
Police said on Monday a 13-year-old and 14-year-old burglarized a home and crashed two stolen cars.
"There is no certain age where a kid can commit an act of violence, it can be anywhere from bullying to doing some major crimes like we've had planned armed robberies. We've had much younger children do some acts of violence that are very disturbing," said Natasha Sansoni with safe2tell.
Safe2tell is a nonprofit group that offers kids a chance to report threatening behavior or activities safely and anonymously.
Sgt Roger Vargason with the Sand Creek division of the Colorado Springs Police Department said he's noticed an increase in juvenile crime recently, citing two juveniles that were in a stolen vehicle. He also said juveniles are stealing more than just electronics during thefts - they're stealing guns.
He said the 14-year-old in Monday's burglary had a 22 revolver in a backpack and police found ammunition in a shed where the juvenile was trying to hide from police.
"We had a burglary the other day where they stole a hand gun and a shot gun so again they are stealing these weapons," said Vargason.
Safe2Tell received 7,071 tip reports since 2004. It's statistics show 282 of those reports were related to guns and weapons.
"Anything can really be a weapon, and I think we have seen quite a few of those even in the past year of youth with weapons," said Sansoni.
Sansoni said thanks to safe2tell more kids are coming forward to report crimes without fear of getting in trouble. It's hotline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 877-542-SAFE.

Gay & Lesbian Rights & Issues: Background
The gay and lesbian rights and issues lobby is composed of organizations that represent the interests of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population and their supporters. These groups have undertaken a growing civil rights campaign for sexual orientation and gender identity equality and have achieved a number of milestones in recent years.
In June 2013, The Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional, requiring the federal government to recognize same sex marriage in the 12 states -- and the District of Columbia -- where they were legal. The Supreme Court also knocked down California's same-sex marriage ban. Since then, a number of other states have legalized same sex marriage.
Federal campaign contributions from this category peaked during the 2012 election cycle at nearly $6 million. The Arcus Foundation led the pack, donating more than $2.5 million to federal candidates, parties, and outside groups. The group was followed by the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund.
The Human Rights Campaign spent $1.6 million on lobbying in 2013, the largest amount by any group in this area. The American Unity Fund and Freedom to Marry Action were also top groups lobbying for LGBT rights, spending $510,000 and $403,000, respectively. The industry has yet to match its 2004 industry lobbying peak of more than $3.6 million, however.
The vast majority of political contributions from gay and lesbian issues groups have gone to Democrats. In the 2012 election cycle, only 7 percent of this money went to a Republican federal candidate or political committee. However, one of the top organizations in the industry is the Log Cabin Republicans, a group that supports Republicans who favor same-sex marriage and other LGBT rights.

Town Square
I Tapas
Original post made by Nat, Greenmeadow, on Jan 6, 2007
There are 2 other restaurants and the gelato place right next door, a pizza place and a Chinese restaurant.
We went to I Tapas on a Wednesday night last week. I can't recommend it. It is extemely expensive and only 2 of the 4 small plates we ordered were good. The best plate (some kind of fish and mashed squash) was very very good. But we only had one bite of fish apiece (2 people) for $14. When the waiter recommended it, we didn't ask the price and he didn't offer it. Mistake. The garlic shrimp was okay but the sauce was loaded with salt. We liked the duck wantons in chicken broth. Sake was available only in the large size and was too expensive. I ended up ordering tea instead. My companion said that I could ask for more hot water once the pot was empty. I had never heard of doing this and the person removing the pot did not suggest it. Utensils were placed on the bare table even once it was dirty from our use. No serving utensils were served with the plates but there were large spoons on the table, which we had to use. Our water glasses were not refilled. The plates were served one at a time, which gave us a break between them. Some people might have preferred faster service, but this was fine for us. The bill was a shocker, $52 (with tip and tax) for 4 small plates and one pot of tea.
I would say the portions were stingy for the prices. I also felt the pulled pork was inedible, too salty and tough. I would not go back.

I ate there when they first opened. The food was expensive and not good.

Have to agree. We went a few months back and we like tapas generally, but this place was not so good. When I asked if I could have regular water instead of the cucumber-infused that the served, I thought the waiter was going to roll his eyes out of his head. We barely saw him again.

on Jan 3, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Never been there and never will, but I'm quite sure they will not only survive, they will prosper.
Can anyone name a downtown restaurant that overcharges, abuses patrons, and serves small portions of lousy food that hasn't prospered in downtown?
Can anyone tell me the reason why this is true?
a resident of another community
on Jan 5, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I do not think they will be there long. Also, yes we asked for regular water also and got the same look. It is not a good place. Since the Stanford Pub closed it has been Left at Albequerkee & that place was great, & then it became an Italian restaraunt, which was still pretty good, but now this place is horrible. There are many good places downtown Palo Alto that are reasonably priced for their quality of food, & quanity also, especially for lunch. This place is not good & I do not think they do a good business. I worked downtown PA for 25+ years and ate out for lunch daily. Lots of excellent food.

Dr. Milton Wolf, The Washington Times
"We don't want to take away people's health insurance," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius so graciously declared earlier this year. But then she quickly qualified that with these ominous words: "before they have some realistic other choices."
Americans have overwhelmingly, consistently and wisely been opposed to a European-style, single-payer, government-run, socialized health care system. So how might the big- government types who are hell-bent on forcing their will upon us attempt to implement this oppressive system in America? Simple. By creating medical refugees desperate for any port in a storm. That storm is coming and, unlike global warming, it's actually man-made.
America somehow managed to survive for 189 years without Medicare or Medicaid and, in fact, became the greatest nation in the history of humankind. Established in 1965 – a mere 46 years ago – too many politicians today lack the perspective to understand this health care altar at which they worship. Instead of reforming the system to align it with American values, they abuse it as an eternal source of giveaways to buy votes. As for the politicians of the 1960s, except for the mop tops and go-go boots, they were very much like the politicians of today: They made a lot of empty promises.
President Lyndon B. Johnson promised that Medicare would cost about $500 million a year – yes, million. He even said that if costs went higher, then he was going to look like the "worst kind of damn fool." Just a year later, in 1966, the House Ways and Means Committee estimated thatMedicare would cost about $12 billion a year by 1990. The actual 1990 cost was $107 billion – off by an order of magnitude but close enough for government work. And that's when costs really took off. By 2008, annual costs hit $599 billion and the program for the first time went into deficit-spending mode.
For all the Democrats' dishonesty and reckless spending, Republicans weren't exactly blameless either. In 2003, President George W. Bush and a Republican Congress doubled down and ushered in the largest expansion in Medicare history with their senior citizen prescription drug entitlement program. They claimed the price tag would be $400 billion for the first decade but quietly adjusted that estimate upward to $534 billion just one month after passage.
Parenthetically, just three years later, in 2006, the free market roared as a private company in Bentonville, Ark. – without a single dime of taxpayer money or the compulsion from know-it-all government bureaucrats – lowered prices of the top 331 prescription medications to just $4 per month (and later to $10 per three months), not just for seniors but for all Americans. And equally importantly, Wal-Mart did not send the bill to our children.
Today we know that LBJ and a lot of other politicians indeed are the worst kind of damn fools.

Discussion in 'March 2007' started by max, Mar 5, 2007.
At Denver March 9 9PM tv: tv20 Pistons start a 5 game West coast trip.
Melo may come off the bench. Karl thinks he's hardheaded. FOX Sports - NBA - Report: 'Melo in danger of getting benched Billups gets 30 ? Show off... 101 to 99
Way to go George Karl for having the guts to talk about benching the likes of Carmelo Anthony.
Karl better watch it........ Carmella will punch him and run................
ASB may be even more of a lying whore than McCoskey, but he's a funnier one. Tayshaun Prince has the miraculous quality of having his defensive reputation reinforced when he gets lit up. Perhaps all he needs to make it to the All-Defensive First Team this season is a 40 or 50 point game from Melo tonight?
Maybe if the Pistons play well enough, we can be the team that got Melo benched. That shadenfreude would be enjoyed by me.
Be justright for Melo and AI to mesh against us tonight.
Don't care if melo just had his first seed or not our Pistons need this game tonight and have some seriousl business to attend to tonight!!! Once again as good ole Coach Woodson used to say to my undefeated HS Freshman team (that eventually went on to become Varsity Catholic League Champs my senior year) "YA'LL CAN'T PLAY GUTTER-BALL WIT THESE BOYS!!!!!" True to those noble words our Pistons DO NOT want to play gutter/rec ball with the nuggets, a good game for denver is how many alley oops they throw and complete in 48 minutes, seriously. With that said I definitely want our squad to be aggressive from the gate offensively, no more slow BS starts... The rest of the team could learn a lot from Rip aka #32 in the art of coming to work EARLY & ON-TIME every night! We don't want to sit up and trade baskets with denver, we want to make them take bad shots, control the defensive glass, and make them pay for their poor shot selection, not to mention take advantage of any turnovers we can cause (definitely will miss LH in the causing opponents havoc dept). Bottom line I'm looking forward to the return of our Detroit Pistons (tonight) and wish to bid good ridance to the etroit pistons we've been watching lately... GO PISTONS!!!!!
LET'S GO PISTONS! Chat is open!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Even if AI and Melo get it together offensively between them, this team has no defense. And we do have a defense of sorts. So I think we will win this game.
Rasheed got a technical, does this mean that he's out next game against the Clippers?
Great games from Wallace, McDyess, Prince, and Webber. Decent games from Maxiell, Hamilton, and Saunders. Poor games from Billups, Delfino, and Murray. Rasheed picked up another tech, but the Paperclips are terrible.
Third quarter was the difference tonight, as the Pistons played well while the Nugs melted down. Momentum swung back and forth a few times in the fourth, but a slew of turnovers and bricks by Carmelo helped to prevent Denver from getting any closer than 6.
Carmello: 6-21 FG's, 17 Points, 2 assists, 5 fouls, and 7 turnovers.
Well, we won, which is nice. But our bench hardly played. Not good. No further in developing a bench. No further toward winning in the playoffs. Pretty much a wasted opportunity. Webber was golden, missing only one shot on his way to 20. Just shy I believe of a 2nd straight 20-10 game for him. (1 or 2 rebounds off). Webber hit outside shots, drove in for a dunk once, scored in the post, scored on cuts to the basket. And a few assists. Remember two things. Webber averaged a 20-10 last season, and he is far healthier this season vs. last. For pretty much free, what a pickup by Dumars. Sheed knocked down 3 triples, cleared lots of boards. A very cheap technical, one you would think for sure will be rescinded, marred a pretty good game by Sheed. Dyess, Delfino, and JMAX all hit a couple of shots. Murray played the backup point minutes. Only JMAX did not see 2nd half action. But again, time for all the bench players was very limited in this one. Tay scored some, but more importantly held Anthony to what must be amongst his worst games of the season. Anthony had more turns vs. shots made, and probably missed more shots than the rest of his team combined. (Exageration but you get the point-the Melo fellow shot a lot-a lot of very bad shots.) CB had his shot going early. Not threes though. Rip as always just continues to be a scoring machine. This game featured two things, a lot of made shots by the Pistons from the outside, but yet plenty of inside play from Sheed and especially Webber. Pretty good balance on the scoring all the way around, Denver never knew what we were going to do next. The Pistons got a nine point lead with our bench in early 2nd. Our starters came in way too early to end the 2nd, and the game was tied up. Yep, I was dreading the 2nd half. Denver. Starters overplayed in the first half. A bit too much energy from Webber tonight, and that timely pair of triples by Delfino and Sheed early fourth, saved a poor coaching job from Saunders from doing us in. Of course, Anthony helped us a lot too. No D, bad shot selection. You can certainly see where Karl is coming from when talking about benching the guy. But no coach in Denver has had the guts yet to actually do it, even though they have threatened to over and over thruout his career so far. I see someone said Delfino had a bad game. Gee, 2 of 3 shooting. On one sequence, Delfino took the offensive charge on one end, then fought for the offensive rebound on the other end, resulting in us getting the ball. And that triple in the 4th was clutch. Sure, he did not play many minutes, but he did fine for the minutes he got. JMAX scored 2 times from posting up. The first time going to the middle from the left and rising way up for his shot. The 2nd time he got the ball on the right baseline and just elevated and hooked it in. One for 2 at the line. JMAX has got to improve that free throw shooting. GO PISTONS!!!!!
Nice to kick off of the road trip with a win and to stop the two game slide. They did their traditional end of the half meltdown allowing the Nugs to out run them 20-11. But came out defensively oriented in the 3rd building a 17 point lead and ending the quarter leading 74-62. Well as you all klnow the Pistons came into the game 27-2 when leading after 3 so as I said in the chatroom, once we got to the 90 this game was a W for the men from Motown. However the Pistons relaxed to much and the Nugs come within 80-74 with a little over six minutes left in the contest before Cwebb came back in to restore order with a dunk and two sweet passes. Sheed got his 18th tech in the second qtr, so unless the league rescinds it, I think he may be out of the Clipper game Sunday. Rip got a tech too and he is up to 11 now. This was Pistons best game of the month on both the defensive and offensive end. The held the Nugs to only 30 points in the paint after giving up 56 to the Cavs on Wednesday. They held them to 38% shooting and forced them into 19 TO's including 7 by new papa melo. We complain about Flip...but I don't think Karl can corral his to supastars into the playoffs IMO. CB still in a shooting funk and is now 1-21 from beyond the arc in March. He needed to dunk one shot just make sure it was in after missing a couple of ez layups. Thank goodness for CWebbs 9/11 shooting and Sheed's three 3 balls. oh yeah and the 19 pts from the bench mob.... I can sleep easy tonight
40 wins !!!!
Better. This is the Piston team we have seen glimpes of only this season but a team that can show up for the big dance. Yes, Denver is bad but good to see that we can still impose our will: grind, lock down, grind. Yes. Billips actually took good shots--that is all I ask. The ball actually came back to him--there was really a play. Can he and Rip practice shooting around the basket though? I wish Rip would just stick to the mid-range game. Like to see Prince used more for a set up three. That would spread the defense as they do in the West. He can post up when convenient. He can shoot. As Lee said, Webber. The guy is getting that shot back--the one I use to watch against the lakers. When Sheed plays, he can be impressive. And Rip is indeed a scorer. Good to see JMax on that jumper. If he hits that, watch out! If this team plays like it can, we can go to the big dance.
lapiston - They need to stop being so inconsistent! Let's hope Sheed doesn't blow all of his free playoff techs in the first round because he plays much more spirited when he is ticked off. I saw most of the game but started to pass out towards the end. This west coast trip will be hard to stay up for. Boy has CWebb been a godsend or what? 20 points, 9 boards and recently a few really good defensive plays. Billups continues to struggle, 6-17 last night from the floor and at least two of those were layups. He's hit 1 three pointer this month (5 games), 1-20. He hasn't made a 3 in his last three games. That's huge.
Sheed, the team player: He was unapologetic for drawing the second-quarter technical after jawing at an official. "It don't matter to me," Wallace said of the fine he'll draw. "They think suspending me one game, I'm losing all this money and this and that. Money ain't nothing to me for the simple fact I wasn't born with it. Just as fast as you get money, you can lose money. Money's not going to change my character, money's not going to change the person I am." Wallace, who scored 17 points and grabbed 10 boards, will miss the Pistons' game Sunday at the Los Angeles Clippers. He thinks the team can do just fine without him for a game. "We're still going to go out there and play Pistons basketball," he said. "We still got guys who can play. I ain't worried about (missing the game)."
Separate names with a comma.

Arsène Wenger remembers all too well the day that Gerard Houllier needed heart surgery but believes that the timing of his friend's collapse actually saved his life.
The then Liverpool manager was taken ill at half time during a Premier League game against Leeds in October 2001 and was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation. But Wenger believes it could have been even worse for his compatriot.
"One day later he flew to the Ukraine [for a Champions League game]," recalled the Arsenal manager. "If that [his collapse] happens one day later then he is a dead man. The big luck was it happened one day before and he recovered well.
"It was a shame he got that unfortunately and for a while you are not the same person. That damaged certainly his potential to finish the job that he had started so well at Liverpool."
Houllier's health problems brought into focus the pressure on top-flight managers and for Wenger it was a reminder of his own mortality. Not that the 61-year-old has taken it easy since then.
"I take it [pressure] on board," said Wenger. "I am ready to give everything to be successful in football. It means a massive amount to me and I am not the kind of person who can be half-in and half-out. I am unhappy [if I do that].
"I am only happy if I am completely into what I do. I know it does not help health-wise but I have no other way to do it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Romney: Hey, I like ethanol subsidies!
posted at 11:25 am on May 28, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
What takes more courage in this Tea Party, deficit-hawk atmosphere among Republicans — opposing ethanol subsidies in Iowa, or professing support for federal price interventions? Mitt Romney clearly believes it's the latter:
It was an odd setting for a policy pronouncement, but on the sidewalk outside the Historical Building here, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney embraced ethanol subsidies. It came just days after and blocks from where his rival for the Republican presidential nomination, Tim Pawlenty, said the subsidies should be phased out.
"I support the subsidy of ethanol," he told an Iowa voter. "I believe ethanol is an important part of our energy solution for this country." Iowa leads the nation in the production of corn, a main source of ethanol.
Really? Ethanol may be "an important part of our energy solution," but that would only be true if ethanol could compete without price supports. Ethanol is hardly an emerging technology that needs federal support for R&D. It's a mature technology, and federal subsidies exist solely to artificially lower its price at the pump to make it competitive with gasoline.
Furthermore, the use of food to feed gas tanks is one of the worst ideas we've had in green energy. The IMF made that point almost three years ago, declaring that the destruction of corn for ethanol had exacerbated food crises and also contributed to worldwide water shortages. A year later, the Congressional Budget Office blamed federally-subsidized ethanol production for hiking food prices. They estimated that the US would issue nearly $1 billion in extra food stamps in 2009 because of the inflationary pressure caused by its subsidization of ethanol production.
Not only are we paying a hidden price at the pump for these subsidies to make ethanol look better as a solution, we're paying more at the grocery store and more in entitlement spending to boot. Hey, what's not to like for a conservative?
Pawlenty went to Iowa and told the truth — that the federal government's subsidies of ethanol were bad policy that we can no longer afford. Romney went to Iowa and pandered for big-government solutions in a market that should either be standing on its own two feet by now or putting resources into other solutions instead. Which candidate showed political courage?

Where I stayed
Best Western My Place
There are peaks in every direction. 'Montenegro' doesn't so much describe it's salient feature as give its address. In the cab to the airport, the driver tells me that 40 percent of the country is mountains. It looks like a lot more. Drop a marble anywhere here and it's gone. I point to a row of snowcapped peaks ahead. 'Al - BAHNnia,' he says derisively. 'Only 70 km to border from here - 130 km to Tirana. For 100,000 euros I would not drive my taxi there. They are crazy people. Black market.' He asks how big Seattle is and I tell him somewhere around a million in the metro
Podgorica is a small town that sprawls over a good deal of a wide valley of scrub, gravel and scattered cypress. It's so nondescript that it isn't even really interesting enough to call ugly. It's been the capital for over 150 years, but looks as if most of it was built in the 1970s. Place it very low on your bucket list just a few ticks above Muncie, Indiana. In its favor, I doubt very much it has a Hard Rock Cafe.
In for a wait at Aerodrom Podgorica's tiny terminal, nearly empty when I arrive. All 6 check-in counters are closed and deserted. In the three hours before my flight boards, only two planes land, one from Zurich and one from Frankfurt. Three nuns occupy a table in the cafe and chat over coffee and water. A handful of airport employees lean against the counters. Clocks on the wall give the time in New York, London, Podgorica, Moscow, Beijing and Tokyo -- the big six. The TV screen above the entrance to security helpfully reminds passengers that it is forbidden to carry gunpowder, dynamite, blasting caps, hand grenades and tear gas onto the plane. Good thing I used up my supply in Kotor.
It's a 40-minute hop to the Constantine the Great Airport at Nis (rhymes with 'sheesh'), which rather than great is quite small and which only serves flights to and from Montenegro, as I find out later to some consternation
Nis is Serbia's third largest city and has been home to Iron Age Thracians, the Celts (no doubt on holiday) and of course the peripatetic Romans. In fact, Constantine the Great, founder of Constantinople, was born here. I was in York last year where he was crowned emperor. Obviously, we travel in the same circle. Nis may have gotten its name from the Greek 'Naissos' or City of the Nymphs. It is also possibly the mythical city where the god Dionysius grew up. From what I can see from the hotel rooftop, Nis appears much more humble than its pedigree would suggest. Hope to explore a bit before train time tomorrow.
My room is quite large for a standard double, with one and a half bathrooms for some reason (how does one choose?), a sectional black Naugahyde couch and institutional green walls that set off the orange and green abstract paintings nicely.

Any risks to an open box model?
Am I exposing myself to any meaningful risk by purchasing an open-box model (iMac from BestBuy)? They say they return everything to factory settings if a customer returns a computer with an open box, but does any risk remain of the previous "customer" putting any tracking device, etc on the computer?

I'm sure that rushing for 300+ yds vs the hapless Bills D had alot to do with pushing you up to #1 rushing team.
Also, the poster that stated that Smith outplayed Eli in the NFCCG just lost all credibility as a knowledgable football fan!
As for the browns game. 1st TD started on our 20yd line thanks to AB's fumble. Last TD was a garbage time TD when the Giants D was playing a soft D. The score was 41-20 at the time. Only legit TD the Browns got was the 62 yd pass play in the 1st qt.
The Browns are also a better team than Buffalo & the Jets. Trent Richardson is a beast & Weeden shows the potential to be a solid QB.

Hi Trinette
thank you so much for sharing your apartment with us. We had a great stay and would highly recommend it for location and friendly service. So quiet yet close to every thing. My only suggestion is to provide a washing machine so we could do some laundry. Everything else was great and so spacious!
a wonderful residence in a calm and highclass quarter ;). 200 meters beeline to the concertgebouw!!!two very delicous restaurants in the near! what more do you want!!...the lessor were very pleasent and friendly and we would like to stay another time in this unique apartment. with devoted greetings m. and o.
This a lovely Apartment in a quiet part of Amsterdam.We had five lovely days and a excellent owner. We can recommend this apartement for anyone. It is sunny and well equipped.

We had a really good time in Amsterdam thanks to all this !
Nice large apartment placed in a calm area. Close to museum area and transportations. Can recommend this accomendation.
Very nice appartment. It was clean, good situated, enough space for four people. The host was very nice. We would recommend it and if we get the chance to go back to Amsterdam, we would be happy to rent it again.
FANTASTIC! Is the first thing that comes to mind about this apartment. It was sunny, spacious for three people in my group and the host was so welcoming. I can't wait to recommend this apartment to all my friends. We also are going to use it again when we travel to Amsterdam.
It is a really nice flat.
Trinette is really friendly and helpful.
We (3 persons) had a nice weekend in Amsterdam.
Next time i will book this flat again.
We LOVED this apartment in Amsterdam! It is in a great location, within walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants and many tourist attractions. Trinette was lovely to meet, gave us a nice tour of the apartment and went over a map showing us things to do in the surrounding area. This apartment is well equipped for 4 people, possibly 6 (I think there is a pullout bed that we didnt use). It is a truly lovely historic home, with amazing tall ceilings and a front balcony looking onto a traditional amsterdam street. The bathroom and kitchen were well stocked with everything in working order. I would definitely recommend this apartment and we hope to go back again one day! Amsterdam is beautiful and well worth a trip.

Think twice before you tell anybody to get real. You might create a monster. Or, in the case of Avenue Q, the Sesame Street-on-LSD Broadway musical, a monster hit since 2003.
On hilarious display at the Courthouse Center for the Arts in West Kingston (through March 4) are is puppet sex that makes Last Tango in Paris look like a minuet and songs, invariably emotion-oriented, that make you glad that satirical humor was invented.
Music and lyrics are by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, and the Tony Award-winning book is by Jeff Whitty. This production is snappily directed by Richard Ericson with JonPaul Rainville, the show's choreographer; kudos also go to puppet designer and builder Nora Eschenheimer.
Avenue Q's origin story, theme, and raison d'être is that Sesame Street, the warm and fuzzy children's show, lied, lied, lied. Boys and girls, uh, about Big Bird pumping up your self-esteem by saying how special you are . . . well, um, everyone being special means that no one is.
After the opening ensemble number, when someone sings the balloon-bursting "What Do You Do With a BA In English?," the closing number might as well have followed and we could all go home. Point made. 'Nuf said.
Fortunately, this delightful show does go on. There are plenty of items of conventional wisdom to frown at and sing about, expectations to be put in perspective. Almost two-thirds of the songs in the first act are about love and romance, sensuality, and wall-banging jungle sex.
The characters are a broad sampling of New York City outer borough denizens, mostly young people and nearly a dozen puppets with people-like problems. That solo song near the opening, about college major consequences, is delivered by recent graduate Princeton (Aaron Lathrop), who can't find a job. On Avenue Q he meets friendly folks who are united in their shaky financial and psychological states. When he starts singing "It Sucks To Be Me," some of them join in, with grumpiness as much as in empathy.
Neighbors include gentle Kate Monster (Talia Triangolo), a kindergarten teaching assistant, and Trekkie Monster (Andrew T. Jones), a surly, furry misanthrope (think Animal in The Muppet Show) who is constantly slamming his window shut. The Monsters in this world, stand-ins for dominant-society-outsiders, are the occasion for the song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist," which is hardly a profound sociological thesis but is harmless enough.
Establishing that Monsters no more think alike than look alike, the entertaining "The Internet Is For Porn" begins innocently with Kate singing the practical praises of the Web, but each observation is punctuated by Trekkie. Like the annoying grammar school pestering of tacking on "in bed" to observations, the randy blue fur ball adds "for porn."
They are all outsiders of sorts. Brian (Douglas Hummel-Price) is an out-of-work comedian, and his fiancée Christmas Eve (Lynn Craig) is from Japan. Slacker Nicky (Jones) is rooming with a supposed conservative insider, Republican banker Rod (Lathrop). Rod being a closeted gay is the occasion for a very funny song, "My Girlfriend, Who Lives In Canada." Unfortunately, his being in denial also prompts him to turn Nicky into a homeless street person when the latter suggests, in an accepting way, that Rod might have such an identity issue ("If You Were Gay").

Zatarain's at University Center food court
Bienvenue Zatarain's! Chartwells opens new UTSA food venue
By Leigh Anne Gullett
Public Affairs Specialist
(Jan. 25, 2006)--Laissez les bon temps rouler! (French for "Let the good times roll!") Chartwells College and University Dining Services and Zatarain's brought a little Louisiana "lagniappe"* to the University Center at the UTSA 1604 Campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 24.

IT Strategy Document
I'm looking for one of these as our group company has asked all it's minor companies to create one, would anyone have a good example of one or a relevent template?
PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, COBIT, ITIL, 27001... pick your poison. Policy discussions would go here as well.

Obviously it's geared towards providing security services at the state level but it may give you some insight as to how one possible format works.
I would caution you against copy and pasting this or any other plan though. You need to develop and document a strategy that makes sense within the context of your organization. Even within the same industry, management priorities and strategy may vary wildly. You may want to request a copy of the business strategic plan so you can develop an IT plan that supports those objectives. That's what I did when I created the security plan for my organization and it's likely what your organization is going to want to see. IT has a role in supporting business operations, not just existing for its own sake. You have to draw those lines of connection and show how you will support those business initiatives. Also keep in mind that typical business strategic plans are 3 to 5 year timelines. That is just not feasible for a technology oriented strategic plan. The landscape changes too quickly. 1 to 2 years seems to be a good target, or possibly 3 but that's pushing it. Good luck!

Hadrian's Wall Half Marathon
Sunday 5th June
This is a race that deserves to grow and one day reach its ambitious upper limit of 300 runners. Sadly, this day, only 49 finished, which must have been disappointing for the organisers and their chosen charity, Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue.
The organisers went out of their way to ensure a safe and well marshalled event. St. John's Ambulance were out in force. The course was well chosen and, except for trek to the start and the last mile, the course was well marked, scenic and a pleasure to run.
The race HQ was at a nice campsite, which included free, hot showers and a tea room. However, the runners email stated 'please allow 18 mins to get to the start.' That turned out to be a wee bit optimistic. True, a fit runner could do that but if any supporters wanted to come and see you off, it would have been better to allow 30 mins, given that it was up a steep hill. Still, given the small field, they waited for the stragglers. The alternative was to have an uphill start. What's wrong with that?
It would be better to think of this as a 13.1 mile fell race anyway. The website's statement that; 'the only significant climbs being along the wall itself' was the sort of thing a dyed-in-the-wool fell-runner would say. I really want to do this race again. It is very enjoyable but, next year, I'm going to take the sort of kit that I would always have on a long fell run: full body cover (carried if not worn), whistle, energy drink, phone and possibly a button compass. Even in June, the rain, visibility and temperature can't be guaranteed.
The only other fly in the ointment is that quite a few people ended up getting lost in the last mile, as well marked trails gave way to open moor marked with bits of white tape attached to stakes. I wasn't alone in wondering whether I'd followed the official course at the end or got mixed up with the course markers from the start. Up to mile 12, I was pretty sure I'd finish in under two hours. I ended up coming in after 2 hours, 9 minutes and 30 seconds. I'll wear the Garmin next year.
The men's race was won by Les Smith in 1:34:14. The ladies race was won by Laura Davies in 1:54:41.
In fairness the advertising was very poor. I'm a regular club runner in Tyneside and only heard of the race through the results!
In addition there has been a great increase in new local races this year which is bound to reduce uptake overall.
I really enjoyed this, but agree with comments about the lack of publicity. Given the location and relative dearth of small-scale half marathons up here, I would have thought this would be an easy one to sell. Would recommend the organiser does leaflets for running shops, events, clubs etc next year, and I bet the local media would be interested as well.
It was only my 2nd half marathon, and I've never done any fell running before, so next year (if I do it) I'll be wiser! eg My limbs were frozen by the time I walked to the start (yes, definitely longer than 18 mins). Long sleeves next time, can't take a chance in the north east in June!
You're obviously not going to do a fast time given the terrain, queuing to get over stiles etc (and getting laces caught in barbed wire if you're me...). However, I felt fine for most of it (the rain helped), got to 10 miles in 1 hr 32 and thought I would break 2 hours pretty easily, but then the huge hill at the end did for me and I finished in 2hr 5!
Agree with Ian above that it was well-marshalled and signed until that last hill - I couldn't see anyone ahead or behind me at one stage so got quite worried about going off-course. However, I thought the rest of the route was pretty straightforward in terms of navigation and terrain, and I'm notoriously poor at such matters being a complete townie. If they could just move that hill for next year, I'll do it again.
I wish it well for next year - with events getting more and more ginormous and glitzy, I like these smaller scale races.
I've just entered too and im going trail shoes all the way even after i've just blown £120 on lightweight racers
Think I'm with you on the shoe choice Raymond - been running some longer distances as I train towards the half marathon, and the ones I've done on trails my feets have held up pretty nicely in my Wave Harriers on the bits of road I've covered on the route.
Only a few days until the re-scheduled run - looks like the weather's going to be good. After the extra couple of months training, I'll be running (slowly) in my Vivobarefoots - hoping the forest trail isn't too stony...
WHAT A FANTASTIC RACE! This will sound a bit odd but...
This race destroyed me. I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. The road section was fine. Infact, my aim of 1:55 was well in sight. However, a hot sunny day took its toll on me. I took in as much water as I could but the precarious nature of the forrest path, meant my concentration and rythmn were all over the place. At ten miles I had a good long drink. Looking across at a never ending "mountain" of grass. I set off and I wasnt disappoint with its toughness. Steep, boggy and unrelenting, It was about a mile of ascent! When i crossed the line i had nothing left and I was 20 mins outside my target.
But... thats when i realised how much i'd enjoyed it! take my advise. Stop messing about with 50000 other runners on just roads and challenge yourself. I'll still do a couple of road races this year but when this opens in November...my name will be first on the sheet.
Awesome people, marshals, markers. Just make sure you take your own drinks at the water staion arent frequent enough!
AWESOME...thanks to all concerned!
Nice one Philip!
At the end of the day I missed the re-run, but it's on the cards for next year.

IMO, the best lightsaber battle in the whole series is Maul vs. Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan. You talk about awesome entrances, I think Mauls' was better. The way he's just standing in the doorway with that hooded cloak, and then when he busts out the double light saber. That is epic ****.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
Vadar will always be the iconic character of the series but there comes a time when you have to move on from your golden goose. In the grand scheme of the entire story outside of just the movies, he's really not that huge of a character. That honor would go to Palpatine.
I played "Star Wars: The Old republic" for about a month or 2 when that game out, and I created a Zabrak assassin just like Maul as my character. lol

Mark G. Yudof
Yudof named University of California president
(March 28, 2008)--The University of California Board of Regents yesterday (March 27) appointed Mark G. Yudof, chancellor of the University of Texas System, as president of the University of California system. The appointment will be effective this summer with the exact date to be determined.

- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

"Chancellor Yudof is the gold standard in higher education administration, and it's no surprise that the UC System sought out his leadership," said H. Scott Caven Jr., chairman of the UT System Board of Regents. "He will be missed and we are grateful for his service to the UT System and to higher education in Texas."
While chancellor, Yudof instituted an accountability system that is recognized as a national model, raised the national standing of the UT System and all its institutions, and created a system administration that has added value to virtually every corner of its operation, Caven said.
"I have worked with Mark Yudof for many years, and he is a brilliant boss and dear friend," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "He is one of the best higher education leaders in the nation, and he has few equals. Given his outstanding record as chancellor of the University of Texas System, we knew that it would only be a matter of time before he would be recruited by a prestigious system such as California. He is responsible for taking each of the UT System's institutions to new heights of excellence as the result of his strategic leadership as chancellor during a time of unprecedented growth. He is responsible for helping place UTSA on track to become one of the state's next premier public research universities."
The board will conduct a national search for a replacement with details on the process to be announced.
The UT System Board of Regents appointed Yudof chancellor in August 2002, making him the chief administrative officer of one of the nation's largest higher education systems. The UT System has more than 194,000 students and 81,000 employees spread over nine academic and six health institutions, and an annual operating budget of $10.7 billion. The system confers more than one-third of Texas' undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state's healthcare professionals annually.
Before his appointment as UT System chancellor, Yudof served as president of the University of Minnesota from 1997 to 2002. A constitutional law scholar, Yudof was a faculty member and administrator at UT Austin for 26 years, serving as dean of the School of Law from 1984 to 1994 and as the university's executive vice president and provost from 1994 to 1997.

Excerpt: "Hakeem Nicks is one of the keys, if not the biggest key, to the Giants' fate in 2013.
But in a split-second, Rueben Randle could instead become the biggest factor.
We found that out Sunday, when Nicks looked great during individual drills, but then missed the rest of practice after feeling tightness in his groin.
If Nicks goes down during the regular season (as he did last year), Randle becomes a starter, with a lot more responsibility -- something Randle wants regardless.
"I just want to go out there and make more plays," Randle said Sunday, prior to the second practice of training camp. "I think we left a lot of them out there last season that could have at least gotten us into the playoffs and had a chance to go into the Super Bowl. So I feel like we could make up on that and come out this season and make a lot of more plays."
Randle had an up-and-down rookie year with Big Blue after being drafted in the second round out of LSU. Overall, he had just 19 receptions for 288 yards. But he did show flashes of future stardom from time to time. In a Week 5 win over the Browns, he had a season-high six catches for 82 yards. And in the Giants' season-ending victory over the Eagles, he had four catches for 58 yards, including a pair of touchdowns.
Randle said Sunday that he wants to leave his rookie year behind and focus on the future.
"I feel like I've done everything, I can do everything pretty well now," Randle said. "I think I've learned from my mistakes and what I need to really work on, and just exploit those things to really get better overall." Read more...

Arsenal travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
You can find out more about our opponents below.
Full name: Everton
Manager: David Moyes
Club colours: Blue shirts, white shorts, blue socks
Nickname(s): The Toffees
Three facts about Everton:
- Arsenal signed central midfielder Mikel Arteta from the Toffees last season
- The club have been English champions on nine occasions, but not since 1987
- Everton have never been relegated from the Premier League
Leighton Baines
Solid in defence and dangerous going forward, the left back has firmly established himself as one of the best full backs in the Premier League in recent years. The 27-year-old has been capped 13 times by England since making his debut in 2010. Baines is an excellent set-piece taker and Arsenal will be mindful of giving free kicks away around their area.


text: Had the stupid P0420 code for some time now, but I've always been able to shake it... until recently. Knowing that there could be many causes I stopped by Monro Muffler and had them hook it up to their computer. Told I need new cats... When asked how much they charge for one they said they replace the whole y pipe and that runs $975 :grrrrrr: (summit sell the whole y pipe units for around 470). I know cats can be cut out and welded in (even though they said they can not) what would you all recommend? New cats or the whole y pipe unit itself? Since they need replaced I was thinking of just going with magnaflow or flowmaster highflow replacemets. Thanks all!

Well for my first post on the new JGSGB Blog – Jewish Ancestors? – I am starting a countdown
to attending the 31st IAJGS Conference in Washington DC. For those of you who don't know,
the International Association of Jewish Genealogy Societies runs a major genealogy conference
every year. The conferences are mainly held in the USA but have also been held in countries
such as Canada, Israel and the UK (last time in 2001) and next year in France (Paris).
These conferences are really exciting to be at, as you can discover so much about Jewish genealogy
in one spot and also meet and make friends with hundreds of other genealogists. I have been to
two other conferences in the States and they taught me an awful lot, including take a jumper with
you as the hotel air-conditioning can be fiercely cold!
Jeanette Rosenberg, who is my wife, and I have been preparing for the conference for several months
and we are only just over a week away from the conference official start date. There are now
all the last minute things to do, including preparing a presentation for the UK Special Interest
Group meeting on Tuesday 16 August. We also have to get together all the material we are taking
with us, such as copies of JGSGB Guides, Shemot, Newsletters, flyers for events and lots of other
stuff. Maybe we might even be able to get some clothes in our suitcases as well! There will be
other JGSGB Members attending the conference and they will also be taking material to the conference.
We will have a special UK-SIG logo on sticky labels to help people identify fellow UK researchers.
These have been prepared and will travel with us.
So, now to get on with the final preparations.

Chairman JGSGB

Authentic, exceptional Jamaican Lager brewed since 1928. A symbol of Jamaican independence now exported around the world and especially popular with musicians, artists and other creatives in parts of Australia, Europe and continental US. Sometimes known simply as 'The Stripe' it is synonymous with expression through grassroots music, words and visual arts. Just good beer that needs neither fancy packaging or embellishing with a citrus slice. Easy now.

Red Stripe Beer is mentioned in the song "What Did I Ever Give You?" by the Kaiser Chiefs (Hold tight, to your Red Stripe...), perhaps selected due to its status as the quintessential "cheap beer" available at practically every Indie gig venue in the whole of England. (From Wikipedia)

A full-bodied beer brewed in Jamaica. It is available in a watered-down imported "Lager" version in the U.S. that is weak and tastes like ass.

Nope. Fire Akers.

Akers would fit on the Giants. Dude is so inconsistent.
Akers or Tynes? Go.
That could be a huge miss.
It would be a good thing for the Falcons to get a running game going. Keep the 49ers offense off the field.
ATL got away with a hold there imo.
That could of been a pick.

Virginia Tech Not Largest Mass Killing In U.S. History
Original post made by red fox, another community, on Apr 29, 2007
there are many examples that far exceed this affair,
such as the Sand Creek Massacre, which occurred over 142 yrs.
ago, when a band of state militia (Colorado) volunteers massacred 150
sleeping Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians in a misdirected act
of vengeance, in which the militia sought revenge for the killing of several
settlers by Indians, and they proceeded to kill nearly everyone in the village, most
of whom were women and children. The attack was recognized almost immediately
as criminal, and congress condemned it, and Lincoln fired the territorial governor.
The victims were not hostile, but were peaceful, and this was known by the militia's

Sand Creek was, indeed, a slaughter. However, there was context (unlike Virginia Tech), namely revenge for previous killings of Whites. It was guerilla warfare, and the Indians had the moral high ground, IMO. Nevertheless, wars are generally won by those with the most tenacious and powerful armies (Whites, in this case). It was soldiers vs. warriors, and the soldiers won.
Here is a little piece on the Indian/White conflicts, extracted from Wikipedia:
"Determining how many people died in these massacres overall is difficult. In the book The Wild Frontier: Atrocities during the American-Indian War from Jamestown Colony to Wounded Knee, amateur historian William M. Osborn sought to tally every recorded atrocity in the area that would eventually become the continental United States, from first contact (1511) to the closing of the frontier (1890), and determined that 9,156 people died from atrocities perpetrated by Native Americans, and 7,193 people died from atrocities perpetrated by whites. Osborn defines an atrocity as the murder, torture, or mutilation of civilians, the wounded and prisoners. Different definitions would obviously produce different totals. For example, Osborn does not count estimated 4,000 Indian deaths on the Trail of Tears (because these were allegedly unintentional), but he does count several episodes of post-mortem mutilation, even of combatants killed in open battle. Osborn's exact total of 16,349 killed on both sides can therefore be disputed."

The tragedy last week was the largest mass shooting by a single person and was never categorized as the largest "mass killing." I don't think there has been any dispute about that. These other instances were carried out by other means or were carried out by more than one person.

I think we should form a committee to rank, catagorize, and document the various slaughters of the innocent that have taken place on American soil - by number murdered, how many gunmen, whose fault ....
This is ridiculous.

Reviews of this property
The Vacation at Balangan Beach was very nice, we had a nice bungalow with pool and breakfast include. The Beach is very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Die Anlage mit nur 6 Bungalows und einem Pool ist gepflegt und schön angelegt. Leider sind die Zimmer nur spärlich eingerichtet und das Badezimmer hätte eine Sanierung nötig. Beachten: Bungalow mit Klimaanlage buchen..Das Frühstück ist knapp genügend. Der Strand Balangan ist fussläufig erreichbar und sehr schön.

Everything fine :) Really nice staff, always helpful and friendly!
Nice location (beautiful Jimbaran beach, close to places of interest in the South of the island and not too far from Kuta and Seminyak). Better to have a scooter.
Alex pays close attention to his guests. Very convenient.
Casual breakfast. Clean room. Wifi ok.
Thanks Bali.
What a wonderful accomodation! A little piece of paradise in Bali. I stayed for 3 nights and it was a perfect start of our holiday in Bali. Great food is beeing served in the restaurant and it's really cheap as well. The staff is very friendly.
It has a nice pool with comfortable sunbeds and the cabin is very romantic and comfortable. I stayed in Bali for 2 weeks and stayed in 5 different hotels in which Flower Bud was my definite number 1! I would definitley go back!
Assistance with Putu (Rudy said) really flawless with good tips, a nice little bungalow with air conditioning and hot water (the value for money is indisputable) in a garden in the heart of a Balinese family ... all the ingredients for Start your discovery of this island. It should also prefer this slightly remote place from the bustle of Legian or Kuta. Small restaurant 150 m left at Andy recommended for its simplicity, its prices and its welcome. I will end by congratulating Esther is in its discretion efficiency, although cats have been right in my little lunch leave on the kitchen table;)
Une assistance avec Putu (dit Rudy) vraiment sans faille avec les bons tuyaux, un joli petit bungalow avec clim et eau chaude (le rapport qualité prix est incontestable) dans un jardin au coeur d'une famille Balinaise...tous les ingrédients pour bien démarrer la découverte de cette île. Il faut d'ailleurs préférer cet endroit un peu reculé de la cohue de Legian ou Kuta. Petit restau à gauche à 150 m chez Andy à recommander pour sa simplicité, ses prix et son accueil. Je terminerai par féliciter Esther qui est dans sa grande discrétion l'efficacité, même si les chats auront eu raison de mes petits déjeuner laisser sur la table de la cuisine ;)
