Don Elliott, co-chair of the firm's Environmental Practice, has over 30 years of experience in environmental law, administrative law and product liability and toxic torts, including having served as Assistant Administrator and General Counsel of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and as national coordinating counsel in litigation for several companies. According to Chambers, Mr. Elliott "brings a vast amount of experience to his broad environmental practice" while Who's Who Legal notes that he is a "key figure" in the US and provides clients with "concise and practical" advice.
Mr. Elliott has extensive experience in crisis management involving product and site contamination issues, as well as environmental and legislative advocacy for companies, trade associations and governments. He has successfully defended automotive, energy, mining, real estate, and pharmaceutical companies in major government environmental enforcement cases and in private litigation, including toxic tort and product liability. Many of his cases have involved asbestos, silica, lead, chemicals, special nuclear material and mining waste.
Mr. Elliott has special expertise and a long-standing interest in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). His interest extends back to his clerkship on the D.C. Circuit in the mid-1970's when many of the key NEPA precedents were decided. He has continued to be active in the field ever since, counseling numerous companies and project developers on NEPA compliance. In recent years, several hedge funds have retained him as a NEPA expert to advise them on pending litigation. He also teaches on the subject at Yale Law School, and has been active in efforts to reform and speed up the NEPA process.
Mr. Elliott has extensive regulatory experience in Clean Air, water, wetlands, waste and chemical regulation. During his tenure at EPA, Mr. Elliott played a crucial role in drafting and implementing the Oil Pollution Act and the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act, including helping to draft the acid rain permit trading statute and regulations. He was also responsible for negotiating two out of the first three contracts for tradable rights for acid rain in private practice. The acid rain program has become the model for carbon trading worldwide. Mr. Elliott also has significant experience in class actions, civil justice reform and complex product liability and toxic tort litigations. He advises several companies on labeling issues, particularly anti-microbial and green marketing claims.
Mr. Elliott has extensive experience in matters involving occupational safety and health (OSHA). He has represented companies and trade associations in OSHA rulemakings, enforcement proceedings (including fatalities and claims of multiple violations) and counseled them on compliance questions and improving their safety and training systems. He has particular expertise on matters involving asbestos, exposure to chemicals in the workplace and the automotive and construction industries.
Mr. Elliott has worked on many complex domestic and international corporate transactions, legislative and regulatory matters, audits and enforcement cases and SEC disclosure issues. He has advised companies in over 50 significant transactions, including private equity, mergers, asset and real estate sales, reorganizations, IPOs and other public and private offerings.
Mr. Elliott's clients have included major automotive, energy, utility, chemical, financial services, oil, engineering life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, as well as trade associations and manufacturers of a wide variety of products.
Mr. Elliott also has expertise in Food & Drug and energy law, representing energy companies, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies in transactions.

The holiday season celebrations kicked into high gear Tuesday night with the annual tree lighting ceremony at Tacachale.
Hundreds of people from all over the city enjoyed perfect weather to see the annual ceremony at the sprawling community for the developmentally disabled.
The Tacachale chorus and Duval Elementary School choir performed several holiday favorites... And of course, Santa Claus was there to hear Christmas wishes.
Center administrator Michael Mayfield says it makes some of them feel on top of the world doing this. They practice and look forward to this program every year.
The people who run Lloyd Clarke Sports presented a check for 28- hundred dollars to Tacachale.
The business sponsors a fundraising 10-K run every Thanksgiving morning. More than 700 people showed up for the run this year.

Spoilers ahead: No
Alas, we get a movie about conspiratorial/political corruption that succeeds in maintaining credibility and in being entertaining at the same time! State of Play succeeds where The International fails in that State of Play's storyline is believable, and better than that, the film's steady leaking out of incriminating facts draws fascination rather than a dreary sense of "Oh, now they just want to confuse us!"
Russell Crowe is Cal McAffrey, a veteran journalist investigating four local murders, one of them the "other woman" of McAffrey's old friend and roommate, Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck). A firestorm of media coverage is ablaze, and Collins is getting roasted. McAffrey is eventually teamed up with a number of reporters to cover portions of the ever-growing case, including Della Frye (Rachel McAdams), a rookie journalist who wants to make it big. As the two push legal boundaries to get to the deepening well of questionable motives and black bag ties to shady corporations, the job is angry with them for not getting something in print. The police are breathing down their necks as well, and beneath all of that is a love affair between McAffrey and Stephen Collins' wife Ann (Robin Wright Penn), which only complicates things further.
Crowe's "I can play any part in the world" adaptability is never more noticeable. This is, without a doubt, one of the best performances of Ben Affleck's career (he ceases to carry around that goofy-looking kid smirk that makes him look like he's about to shoot spit-wads in a high school cafeteria). Jeff Daniels is Senator George Fergus. His role as a distant-but-connected figurehead adds dimension to a ripe story.
Though sometimes riding a bit heavily on the meat and potatoes of journalistic work, it backs off before boredom can set in. The search for facts, although at times tedious, never spills over into becoming uninteresting. Crowe's scruffy, leftwing, non-conformist look fits the reporter he plays. Selected well was the background lighting, always careful to match the mood of the film. Best of all is the "rev" of the plot, which doesn't fade, but advances, growing closer to the truth right through to the end.
What State of Play is light on is action-driven suspense and perhaps a sense of lightheartedness (read: time away from work) as a break from the plot-focused intensity. This, however, should come as a request on the part of some rather than as a criticism by all. Director MacDonald is concerned with the logistics of the story and is careful not to bend credibility until it breaks—having journalists dodge bullets and return fire is not in their job description, nor is it what we should expect to see!
I once wrote an article entitled "When The Stars Get Too Big." In it, I addressed the tendency of certain movies (*ahem* Oceans 13, etc.) to flaunt a star cast until it becomes obvious that what is being watched is a prestige pageant, and not something that requires acting skill. In State of Play, you have – lo and behold – actors earning their keep, absorbing their talents in becoming the characters whose names and traits they wear.
State of Play is polished with every scene fitting in, leaving no painfully unanswered questions or feelings of melancholy. Among political thrillers, it steps up to take its place in a genre where the power of having a high position is often flaunted, but this one is different. It flaunts that the truth will come out. Truth has a way of doing that!
Grade: A- (4 stars)
Rated: PG-13
Summation: A team of journalists headed up by Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) follows an ever-darkening path of corruption and murder.
Director: Kevin MacDonald
Starring: Russell Crowe "Cal McAffrey," Ben Affleck "Rep. Stephen Collins," Rachel McAdams "Della Frye," Helen Mirren "Cameron Lynne," Robin Wright Penn "Anne Collins," Jason Bateman "Dominic Foy," Jeff Daniels "Senator George Fergus," Michael Berresse "Robert Bingham," Harry Lennix "Det.

Children's educator, Leah Davies, writes, "Family traditions enhance children's emotional well-being by helping to create feelings of security, continuity and identity." As St. Patrick's Day approaches, take the opportunity to create a life-long family memory by starting a tradition of a family dinner.
Kids love spending time with their family, and one of the best ways to spend time with your children and provide teachable moments is to plan, prepare, enjoy, and clean up a meal as a family. If this isn't a normal type of activity for you, St. Patrick's Day is a great opportunity! Holidays provide an ideal excuse to hit the reset button.
The best place to start is at the beginning. Have a family meeting; decide what you want to do together this weekend, and hold each other accountable for your promises (parents too!). We know you are busy and your kids have homework, which suspiciously sounds like video game music through closed doors, but kids grow up fast and before you know it they are living on the coast and not returning your texts. Make the time now! Otherwise, your picture frames and online albums will be full of other people's children.
Hemmingway once said, "Write drunk, edit sober." We are not suggesting a trip to Anderson Valley, the Hopland breweries, or the local wine bar Enoteca for your St. Patrick's Day activities, but plan creatively and outlandishly. Thanksgiving and New Years are classy ? there is nothing wrong with that. But the value and fun of green food, both leafy and hammy, has been published by many doctors. Apart from corned beef and cabbage, the St. Patrick's Day gastronomy is an uncharted map and one tiny drop of green food coloring, or natural coloring from foods, goes a long way.
The Internet is full of wonderful ideas for fun, family food. Pinterest has a library of eye-popping St. Patrick's food and treats. Youtube has video ideas for the novice or expert. Cookingwithmykid.com is a fun place to explore, as well as Red Tricycle (redtri.com), which is a family-oriented website full of fun activities, which include holiday-themed recipes. Google your way to creativity. Or go more traditional paths and use this day as an excuse to call Great Aunt Ida and finally write down those secret family recipes that have come back into style. Thank you, Hipsters. (I've always wanted to try the Depression-era dish, a Ritz apple pie.)
Now that you have a design, or culinary curriculum, have the courage to be inclusive and prepare your meal together. Teach your children the tricks of the trade, or ask them to prepare something to teach you. Share your favorite childhood memories with them about St. Paddy's Day. Reminisce away. Sharing traditions encourages learning, understanding, and appreciating diverse ways of thinking and being. But don't forget to ask your children their own favorite St. Patrick's Day memories. You might be surprised to hear your 5-year-old talk about when she was a kid. It might make for good Facebook fodder. More importantly, it will give you insight into how your children see the world, how they remember the world, and how part of your job is to guide that journey.
Finally, take some time to set the table, take a photo, and before you lift your liter of green milk to your face, be appreciative, proud, and take it all in. Making time to be together as a family is one of the most simple and difficult things to do, and you just did it. You just made a life-long memory for everyone, including yourself. And it all started on St. Patrick's Day, even though you aren't Irish. But hey, your family has never done it just like everyone else. Good for you.
As Teaching Tolerance Advisory Board Member and elementary school teacher, Vanessa D'Egidio puts it, "Partaking in family, community, and/or cultural traditions encourages healthy identity and social development in children. Kids can connect to their roots and appreciate stories that build bridges between the past and the present."

Hi I had a lipo tumescent , will be a month now and looking at my before procedure pics and now i think my belly looks bigger than before is this normal , im still wearing the garment 24 hrs and i only take off to shower , im doing the lymphatic massage hope this ill help , but do you think ill have a flat belly ? Thank u;)
Had Tumescent Lipo a Month Ago, and My Belly Looks Bigger Than Before?
Doctor Answers 6
It may take time...
First consult with your surgeon to confirm you do not have a fluid collection (seroma), blood collection (hematoma) or infection (abscess) making your belly bigger.
Assuming more than zero fat was removed from your belly, you will end up with less fat than you started once the normal inflammatory process of surgery resolves. It takes at least 3 months for the final result and sometimes up to 6 months. Also, remember, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, it is a body shaping procedure. I suggest waiting a couple more months. If you are still not satisfied, further liposuction or abdominoplasty might be options for you.
Armin Karl Moshyedi, M.D.

Bigger after Liposuction Surgery?
Thank you for the question.
At this point, it would be unusual for your abdomen to "look bigger than before". Therefore, it would be in your best interest to follow-up with your plastic surgeon who, after direct physical examination, will be in the best position to advise you. Rarely, superficial fluid accumulation (seroma) can be responsible for an increase in the abdominal size after surgery.
Otherwise, you may need to continue to be patient; it may take several additional months before you see the final results of the procedure performed.
Best wishes.

Lipo at one month
While tumescent liposuction seems to be one of the safest methods for liposuction, it may take some time for the swelling to disappear. You should start to see some nice results around 1month-6weeks, BUT the final result may not be evident until 3-6months. Don't despair. Continue with your diet and exercise and follow the recommendations of your board certified plastic surgeon.

Lipo Plus Garment Plus Massage at one month
Congratulations on choosing tumescent liposuction. You have chosen the best method of liposuction. The wearing of the garment and massage matter less and in some cases not at all.
How about your weight? Has it gone down?
The most common reason for liposuction failure is too much emphasis on a procedure and too little effort given to diet and exercise.
Get a second opinion regarding your exercise routine and diet. It is amazing how we often deny ourselves the very thing that will do the most good.
Lipo result at one month
At one month it is quite common to still be very swollen. Really, you should give it 4 months or more to settle down.

Transfer the dough to the prepared pan (it will be crumbly), spread evenly and press firmly into the bottom and all the way up the sides to form a crust.
Step 3
Bake the crust until set but not browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
To prepare filling: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in carrots and 1 tablespoon sherry (or rice vinegar) and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 5
Spread mustard over the crust. Sprinkle with Cheddar, then evenly spread the carrot mixture in the tart shell.
Step 6
Whisk 1/2 cup yogurt, milk, eggs, tarragon, the remaining 1 tablespoon sherry (or rice vinegar), 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and pour in the filling.
Step 7
Bake the tart until the filling is firm and the edges are golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.

The Napoleon Of Banks
After launching a hostile, $37 billion double bid on Mar. 9 for two rival banks, Banque Nationale de Paris Chairman Michel Pebereau tried his best to make the audacious raid on Societe Generale and Paribas sound less, well, hostile.
"It's not a takeover, it's an association of three banks to create a European leader," he announced soothingly during a press briefing at his Paris headquarters. But the stunned management at Societe Generale and Paribas--themselves in the midst of a friendly merger--didn't appreciate the sweet talk. They insisted the prospect of turning the three separate banks into a $1 trillion behemoth was unwelcome and "hazardous."
Even if Pebereau's bid fails, however, the 57-year-old alumnus of the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, France's elite school for technocrats, may have set the stage for a free-for-all that could lead to Europe's first real cross-border bank mergers. For instance, Societe Generale Chief Executive Officer Daniel Bouton may choose to respond to the attack with a hostile counterbid. If that should happen, Pebereau is likely to turn to a foreign white knight.
FEROCIOUS COMPETITION. Some analysts see a potential partner in Spain's Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, Germany's Deutsche Bank--which has been scouting acquisitions in France--or a big Dutch bank such as ING Group or ABN Amro. Analysts also suggest that a three-way merger could lead Paribas to sell its investment-banking activities to a foreign rival. "Now that BNP has crossed an unwritten line, others may be tempted to have a go," says Stuart Graham, bank analyst at J.P. Morgan Co. in London.
Paris' resistance to foreign raiders has long thwarted outsiders from entering French financial markets. But that closed-shop mentality is eroding as French banks privatize. Once tightly controlled and often protected by a cadre of influential state officials and ENA-trained technocrats like Pebereau, the banks now face ferocious Europewide competition spurred by the single currency.
Pebereau's drive to engineer a triple French bank merger, creating the world's largest bank, has its merits. French banks are laggards in restructuring and streamlining, and their return on equity, which is only 11% to 13%, is sharply lower than the 16% to 20% average for European banks.
But the deal is still a long shot. Top management and their employees at the two target banks are likely to remain opposed to a mega-alliance. And even if it does succeed, Pebereau faces huge political and cultural obstacles to whipping the giant into a profit powerhouse. Although he has promised some $1.17 billion in cost savings by 2002, bigger gains from streamlining will be slow to come.
Anticipating governmental and union resistance to layoffs, Pebereau has promised there will be none. Eager to win support for a so-called marriage of equals, he also promised to maintain BNP's and Societe Generale's existing retail networks as separate brands. He has promised, as well, to allow Paribas to remain independent.
"If you put three entities together simply to add up capacity, it does not make sense," says Frans van Laar, chief banking analyst at ING in Amsterdam.
Pebereau and his investment bank advisers at Lazard Freres insist the jumbo bank would reap big savings through back-office consolidation and computerization and other cost-cutting. And although massive layoffs are politically incorrect in France, observers point out that Banque Nationale de Paris and Societe Generale will see their employees' roles shrink over the coming years, since more than a fourth of their employees are older than 50 and will start retiring in big waves, reducing staffing by 3% to 4% beginning in 2004.
One ace in Pebereau's hand is Claude Bebear, chief executive of insurance giant AXA, who supports the deal and would hold roughly 5% of the combined banks. Bebear is the largest shareholder at both BNP and Paribas--and was slated to become a board member at Societe Generale to oversee the imminent fusion of the two banks. Nevertheless, Pebereau's bid could launch a clash of egos. BNP would be paying a rich premium of 14% and 18%, respectively, for Societe Generale and Paribas. That could anger its big shareholders.
In addition, Societe Generale's management and employees are still fuming over the unsuccessful raid by BNP 10 years ago of Pebereau's older brother Georges, then at the helm of BNP. Societe Generale employees, who are the bank's largest shareholders with 8% of the shares, issued a statement on Mar. 10 calling the takeover bid "grotesque." Pebereau, who feared that he might be sidelined by a friendly Societe Generale/Paribas merger, has turned a bad situation to his advantage. But the suave executive may find his bid unleashes more tumult than he bargained for.

Covanta Onondaga Ltd. v. Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency
Citation: 33 ELR 20021
No. No. 02-CV-0497, 281 B.R. 809/(N.D.N.Y., 08/13/2002)
The court abstains from hearing a breach of contract claim between a bankrupt company and a county resource recovery agency. The company and the agency entered into a solid waste disposal agreement, which included a bond requirement that if the bond fell below investment rating, the company had 30 days to provide credit enhancement. The company failed to provide enhancement when its credit rating fell, and the agency notified the company that it was terminating the agreement and was instituting proceedings that would require the company to turn the company's operations over to the agency. The company filed a breach of contract claim against the agency in the Onondaga County Supreme Court, but subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The company then moved to remove the breach of contract claim to the Northern District of New York, and the agency filed a motion to remand or abstain and remand the breach of contract claim to the Onondaga Supreme Court. The company then filed a motion seeking transfer of the breach of contract claim to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to consolidate the breach of contract claim with its bankruptcy proceeding.
The court first holds that the case was properly removed and the Northern District of New York possessed jurisdiction over the proceeding under 28 U.S.C. §1334(b) because the breach of contract claim is a proceeding related to the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy claim. The potential finding that the contract was breached and recovery of damages could alter the company's debtor rights and liabilities or impact the administration of the bankrupt estate. The court next holds, however, that the case satisfies all six conditions for mandatory abstention in 28 U.S.C. §1334(c)(2). The agency filed a cross-motion for abstention after the company filed a removal action; the removed case involves only the state breach of contract claim; the case is related to a bankruptcy proceeding but did not arise under the Bankruptcy Code; the removed case could not have been brought in federal court absent bankruptcy jurisdiction; the removed case was commenced in state court; and the case can be timely adjudicated in state court. Thus, the court abstained from jurisdiction and remanded the breach of contract claims to the Onondaga Supreme Court.

A while back I mentioned I was struggling with the future of this blog. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to be about, and I wasn't really sure if I wanted to bother. However, after much thought, I really enjoy this blog. What's going to shift (a little) is the type of content I try and post.
I most enjoy sharing recipes, photos, notes about urban homesteading, and posts about our home renovations, so I'm going to focus on those. For recipes, it really floats my boat when I work out "I can make that myself" like the Oat Fudge Bars or talk about meal planning and other delicious food I have tried. I also like sharing photos of Kale and other things I'm into and my recent upgrade to an iPhone 5 has produced some truly lovely quick snaps. We get lots of questions about our chickens and our garden from both neighbours walking by and people we know. And home renovations have been such a remarkable learning experience.
So, today I changed the blog template to be a bit more visual, and a bit less time-sensitive. If you read this through a reader, click through and have a look, just for fun. Everything is still here, and you can search (bottom right) if you're looking for a post. Also check out the revised navigation menu – it makes it easier. I have a few more tweaks I want to make and I have to do some reading to learn how, but I like this new revision of the Arbolog, and I hope you do too.
And here is an awesome picture of my smiling boy from today.

Microsoft has announced that it is to buy the devices and services arms of former Finnish phone giant Nokia, just two years after the manufacturer agreed to solely make Windows Phone smartphones.
Mooted to have been on the cards for some time, Microsoft and Nokia made a joint announcement this morning, September 3, with the two companies agreeing on an overall fee of €5.44 billion (£4.6bn). It is expected that the final deal will be completed during the first quarter of 2014.
"It's a bold step into the future - a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies," Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's outgoing CEO stated in an announcement confirming the buyout. He added: "Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsoft's share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services."
While Microsoft will pay €3.79 billion (£3.2bn) for Nokia's devices and services division, a sector that includes the company's smartphone manufacturing arm, it has been revealed that the Surface Pro and Xbox One maker will also splash out a considerable €1.65 billion (£1.4bn) to snap up the rights to license Nokia's patents and mapping services.
With Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop announced to be stepping down from his role at the company, Nokia Chairman and interim CEO Mr. Siilasmaa stated: "Today is an important moment of change and reinvention for Nokia and its employees," said. "With our strong corporate identity, leading assets and talent, and from a position of renewed financial strength, we will build Nokia's next chapter."
Having recently unveiled a selection of new Windows powered handsets from the budget likes of the Nokia Lumia 520 to the more premium and camera centric Nokia Lumia 1080, Nokia's devices division is expected to launch further products before the deal is finalised, with the first Nokia Lumia tablet on the cards for an October unveiling.
A move that will see Microsoft attempt to further push its Windows Phone platform on a smartphone market dominated by iOS and Android based products, the two companies have confirmed that 32,000 Nokia employees will move to employ of Microsoft once the deal is formally penned.
"We are excited and honored to be bringing Nokia's incredible people, technologies and assets into our Microsoft family," Ballmer stated.
"In addition to their innovation and strength in phones at all price points, Nokia brings proven capability and talent in critical areas such as hardware design and engineering, supply chain and manufacturing management, and hardware sales, marketing and distribution."
He added: "Given our long partnership with Nokia and the many key Nokia leaders that are joining Microsoft, we anticipate a smooth transition and great execution."
Stephen Elop, who following the announcement will no longer hold the position of Nokia CEO said: "Building on our successful partnership, we can now bring together the best of Microsoft's software engineering with the best of Nokia's product engineering, award-winning design, and global sales, marketing and manufacturing."
The man who will now become Nokia Executive Vice President of Devices & Services added: "With this combination of talented people, we have the opportunity to accelerate the current momentum and cutting-edge innovation of both our smart devices and mobile phone products."

Hi all,
I have been told by a regular here that you guys understand real humour! this chap also went on to say i should come on over to Bimmerforums UK and introduce myself and get to know you lot a bit better.
This mystery chap is Ronnie also known by the transatlantic fiends as Tefal.
OK whats my story, i got into bimmers in a big way during my a levels in college, i got to appreciate the engineering excellence that goes into them and the design which is what made BMW the most recognized marque in the world. i worked hard and bought my first E30 325i 4 door when i was 19, it was a great car while it lasted, it was crashed arse end into a roundabout signpost! gotta love that E30 rear end.
I learned from this and within a month bought another E30 this time a 320iSE 2 door. i got really bored with the 130Bhp and atrocious MPG so i bought back my old 325 and stripped it for parts.
Bit by bit rebuilt the 320 into a full 325i sport with a 2.7 stroked engine polished and ported custom made exhaust, the works.
having a couple of close calls i signed myself up for an advanced driving course and gained some respect for physics!
i had that lovely '89 silver 327iS for 3 years until it was killed by a drunk hit and run driver, after that i had a couple of run around's, 200SX, 205GTi, Vans etc.
Until i managed to get my current pride and joy a E36 '93 K 325iS with 29Kmiles on the clock, 2 owners, FBMWSH, i thought i had to be a mug to pass this up!
october 2003 i bought it and marveled at the bargain i had, it came ready with 17inch 5 spoke BMW alloys, all the M trim in and out, silver leather and a sports body kit.
Ever since i have been modding and adding and have recently fully rebuilt the engine with forged internals ready for supercharging summer 2009.
so i joined Bimmer forums to chat to similar petrol headed lunatics like you!!!

Sicilian Food
€ 18,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 1999
BeschreibungIf there is one book that belongs on the shelf of food lovers, it is "Sicilian Food" by Mary Taylor Simeti. This book is a classic, the definitive work on Sicilian cooking and it is full of authentic, hard to find recipes gleaned from the author's friends, family and acquaintances on the island itself. Originally published in 1989 under the title "Pomp and Sustenance: Twenty Five Centuries of Sicilian Food" and then unavailable for almost ten years, Mary Taylor Simeti's affectionate, exhaustive work has come to be recognized as the definitive book on the food, traditions and recipes of this sun-drenched island. The author, an American married to a Sicilian, set out to discover Sicilian food first hand. She haunted former convents and palaces where Palermo's libraries have been maintained. She tested each ancient recipe herself and updated the methods. Her directions are clear and easy to follow. The book is organized so that the material reflects both the external influences of a series of conquerors, and the domestic changes brought about by peasant, clergy and aristocrat alike. Her chapter titles hint at the enticing discoveries waiting for the reader and the recipes reflect the chapter titles. There are recipes using the vegetable abundance of the Sicilian landscape, for ice cream or granita, and, yes there are recipes for Virgins Breasts and Chancellor's Buttocks. The book contains more than a hundred illustrations from Sicilian archives and museums and the text quotes freely from Homer, Plato, Apicius, Lampedusa, and Pirandello. Simeti's prose is so descriptive that to read it is to be in Sicily.
Pressestimmenrecipes included as an added bonus. Simeti begins with the classical era (with Odysseus himself, and a recipe for fava bean soup) and concludes with a chapter on Sicily's special ice creams and gelati; her wit and pleasing style make her observations on food, eating habits, and culture as addictive as some of the dishes she describes.'

If there's one question I get asked more than any other, I mean, besides, 'If I look in your trunk, am I going to find anything?', it is most definitely, queries about the next gen of Brazilian supermodels.
Now that the likes of Gisele Bundchenand Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima are all getting into marriages and family ways and easing up on work, who is going to be the crop of replacement hotties for this perennially thriving sexy celeb category. Obviously, you know of our love for redheaded Cintia Dicker, but also pay very close attention, as we do, very closely, to Juliana Ninin, Brazilian almost-supermodel who may just be replacing one of her more world-famous cohorts in the very near future.
Examine carefully Juliana's qualifications in her sexy rooftop hangout photoshoot and see if you don't agree with our scouting report. Enjoy.

Date of Stay: October, 2006
We had site number 47. It sits right next to a small cabin that has local's living in it full time. We were woke up at all hours of the night because our trailer sat three feet from their porch. We were worried that our new trailer would get scratched because one of our slide out's was right at the steps going up on the porch. We couldn't put our awning out without it hanging over the neighbor's site. The staff was friendly and very helpful with local attractions. We maybe would stay here again if we could pick what site we had. It was nice having wireless internet and cell phone in the trailer. It made it very handy to share vacation pictures with family and friends.
Date of Stay: September, 2006
This is a nice camp ground there is a lot to do for the whole family. If you get a full hook up site the site will be paved. Some of the other sites are still gravel. They have a visitor center with some neat items to see. They have canoe rental if you want to go floating one day, or you can go for a hike on any of the trails in the park.

Post-Season Scenarios
A significant aspect of the Oakland A's player development philosophy is that winning is an important part of growing as a player. A's prospects have had plenty of practice in that area lately, as all of the team's US affiliates have had strong second halves of the season, positioning most of them for a post-season run. We review those scenarios below.
Sacramento River Cats
Winning is nothing new for the A's Triple-A affiliate. Sacramento has been to the playoffs all but two seasons since becoming an A's affiliate in 1999. However, a post-season run didn't seem likely on June 15th when the team fell to 12.5 games behind the first-place Fresno Grizzlies.
A mere 10 weeks later and the River Cats have turned the tables on their Pacific Coast League rivals. Sacramento took four out of five games in a critical series against the Grizzlies this weekend to move into sole possession of first place. The fourth win came on Sunday when Sacramento eeked out a 2-1 victory, giving the River Cats a one-game lead with eight games to play.
Sacramento has had to rely on a number of unlikely heroes to get back into first place. On Sunday, the hero was outfielder Jermaine Mitchell, who has spent the majority of the season with the High-A Stockton Ports. Mitchell was called up to Sacramento on Saturday when star first-baseman/outfielder Chris Carter was placed on the DL with a sprained left thumb. Mitchell singled in the winning run in the eighth inning of Sunday's game. It was the first Triple-A hit in the career of the A's 2006 fifth-round pick.
Catcher Anthony Recker has also stepped it up in the glare of the pennant chase. Recker has assumed the starting catcher's role for the past month while Josh Donaldson has been on the DL with a sprained knee. Recker homered four times and drove-in nine runs in five games versus Fresno this weekend. He also walked four times and scored five runs. Recker is batting .267 with a 788 OPS in 72 games for the River Cats this season and he may have positioned himself for a September call-up to Oakland if the A's need a third catcher when rosters expand on September 1st.
Starter Bobby Cramer has given the River Cats' rotation a boost. He allowed only one run on five hits and a walk in six innings versus Fresno on Friday. In five starts for Sacramento since joining the team from Mexico, Cramer has allowed no more than two earned runs in any start. He has a 1.55 ERA and a 28:4 K:BB ratio in 29 innings.
Major league veterans Brett Tomko and Jason Jennings are giving the River Cats some experience during the pennant run. Tomko struggled in his first start with Sacramento (six runs in only two-thirds of an inning), but he has since allowed only six runs in 16.1 innings. Jennings has made two starts for the River Cats, and has allowed three runs in eight total innings.
Midland Rockhounds
The Midland Rockhounds have played only .500 baseball this second half, but that has been good enough to put them in a strong position to defend their Texas League title this September. Going into Monday, the Rockhounds sat a game ahead of the first-half champion Frisco RoughRiders for the second-half division title. The Rockhounds also hold a three-game lead in the wild card, which would come into effect if Frisco were to win the second-half division title having already won the first half crown.
It has been an up-and-down season for outfielder Shane Peterson, but he has been a big part of the Rockhounds' push to the playoffs. Peterson hit only .230 with a 621 OPS before the All-Star break, but he has hit .330 with an 875 OPS since the break. Over his last 10 games, he is batting .382 with seven walks and six RBIs. Peterson was a big factor in the Rockhounds' 2009 Texas League championship. He hit .433 with six RBIs in eight games during last year's post-season.
Outfielder Matt Sulentic has also overcome a slow start to the year to give the 'Hounds offense a late-season boost. He has a modest four-game hitting streak at the moment and has batted .331 after the All-Star break. He hit .228 before the break. Sulentic hit a walk-off homerun to give the 'Hounds the 2009 second-half division title last year.
The 'Hounds will be relying on mid-season addition Ryan Edell to pace the starting rotation. Since joining the A's in May in a trade with Cleveland, Edell has gone 9-4 with a 3.19 ERA in 118.1 innings. In August, he has a 3.10 ERA in six starts. Edell is tied for the team-lead in wins with starter Carlos Hernandez, who beat a Frisco line-up on Saturday that included rehabbing Texas Rangers Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler and Cristian Guzman. Hernandez allowed only two hits in seven shut-out innings. He has a 2.67 ERA in six August starts.
Veteran Matt Wright will get the start on Monday. He has posted a 2.98 ERA in 13 starts for Midland since joining the team in June. Wright was a non-roster invitee to the A's big league spring training camp, but was let go by the A's so that he could pursue an opportunity in Korea. When injury prevented Wright from staying in Korea, the A's re-signed the 6'4'' righty and assigned him to Midland.
Stockton Ports
Like the River Cats, the Stockton Ports' playoff chances seemed DOA in July. However, a recent 14-game winning streak has put Stockton in a strong position to make the post-season. Going into Monday, the Ports are holding a four game lead in the second-half division standings over Bakersfield. The Ports are also tied for first in the wild card standings. Stockton has gone 19-7 in August and are 38-24 in the second half.
The Ports' pitching staff has been outstanding during the month of August, posting a 2.95 ERA, an incredible mark considering the generally strong offense of the California League. Ports pitchers have struck-out 208 in 229 innings and have allowed only 202 hits.
Ben Hornbeck (1.17 ERA in four starts, although he was placed on the DL on Sunday), Justin Marks (2.03 ERA in three outings) and Justin Murray (1.11 ERA in six outings) have led the way in August. Shawn Haviland has also been impressive, with a 3.29 ERA and 31 strike-outs in 27.1 innings in August. Paul Smyth has saved 10 games in 10 opportunities this month while posting a 2.63 ERA in 13.2 innings. Trey Barham has done a good job setting up for Smyth, posting a 3.09 ERA in 11.2 innings this month.
Grant Green has gone on a power-splurge in August, blasting seven homeruns and driving in 23 runs in 26 games. Stephen Parker, Jeremy Barfield and Yusuf Carter have also put up good power numbers with five homers a piece. Barfield leads the team in August with a 953 OPS and a .333 batting average. As a team, the Ports have a 794 OPS in August.
Kane County Cougars
The Cougars dropped a thriller on Sunday, losing 11-10 in a four-hour, 11-inning marathon to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. That loss cut the Kane County lead to one game in the wild card race with eight games left on the Midwest League schedule.
Kane County has gone 33-28 during the second half of the season and is 65-65 overall. In August, the Cougars have gone 13-14. The pitching staff has posted a 3.80 ERA, while the hitters have a .269 average and a 755 OPS.
Conner Crumbliss, Leonardo Gil, Mitchell LeVier and Rashun Dixon have led the team offensively in August. Crumbliss is batting .321 with a 942 OPS and 29 walks this month. He has broken the team record for walks in a season with 116. Gil has hit .361 this month with three homers and 14 RBIs, while LeVier has 17 RBIs and an 897 OPS. Dixon is batting .327 with a .412 OBP in August. Jason Christian has also contributed with a team-best (tied with LeVier) 17 RBIs.
The Cougars lost team ace Ian Krol to a promotion to Stockton and have added 2010 18th round pick Jose Macias to the rotation. Macias is the first member of the 2010 draft class to progress past short-season ball. Murphy Smith (2.67 ERA in five starts) and Jonathan Joseph (2.27 ERA in six starts) have pitched well in the rotation this month. Former starter Robert Gilliam has allowed only one earned run in 7.2 innings since returning from the DL in a relief role. Josh Lansford has struck-out 17 in 10.1 relief innings this month.
Vancouver Canadians
The Vancouver Canadians hadn't seen first place in August since 2005 until they reached that milestone this month. The C's have dominated the second half of the season, posting a 22-9 record. Vancouver currently has a five-game lead over Everett for the second-half crown with eight to play.
There is no question that the addition of A's 2010 number one pick Michael Choice has boosted the C's line-up during the second half. Choice has appeared in 21 games for Vancouver and has already hit seven homeruns and has driven in 26 runs. He also has 12 walks, six stolen bases and has scored 20 times.
A.J. Kirby-Jones and Josh Whitaker are tied for second behind Choice in homeruns this August with four apiece. Kirby-Jones has an 875 OPS this month, while Whitaker is sporting an 887 mark. Catcher Ryan Lipkin has a .338 average with an 819 OPS this month.
On the mound, Matt Thomson has continued to be the story. Thomson actually made one start for Stockton this month -- allowing no runs and striking out 10 in five innings -- but he has still managed to make five August starts for Vancouver, posting a 0.64 ERA with 39 strike-outs in 28 innings.
Nathan Long has also impressed out of the rotation, posting a 2.84 ERA in six starts. The C's bullpen has been terrific in August, led by Jake Brown (0.87 ERA in 10.1 innings), A.J. Griffin (2.25 ERA and six saves in seven chances), Daniel McDaniel (1.42 ERA in 12.2 innings), Daniel Tenholder (no runs allowed in nine innings), Zach Thornton (one run allowed in 11.2 innings) and Pedro Vidal (two runs allowed in 15 innings).
Arizona Athletics
The AZL A's are the only A's US affiliate to be eliminated from playoff contention, but they have still had a strong second half. Going into Monday, the AZL A's were 30-26 during the second half of the season.
Outfielder Royce Consigli has been a star for the A's all season and that has carried over into August. Consigli has hit .347 with an 892 OPS this month. Neudy Clime has matched Consigli with a .347 average in 12 August games. He has an 866 OPS this month.
Zhi-Fang Pan, the A's first signing out of Taiwan, has closed out his first US season in impressive fashion. In 19 August games, the shortstop is batting .427 with a 996 OPS.
Starters Argenis Paez and Aaron Larsen have had strong Augusts. Paez has a 3.95 ERA in 27.1 innings, while Larsen has a 2.37 ERA in 19 innings. Out of the bullpen, Omar Duran (1.13 ERA in 16 innings), Sean Murphy (one earned run in 10 innings), Drew Tyson (one earned run in 15.2 innings), Jeff Urlaub (one earned run in 9.1 innings) and J.C. Menna (3.18 ERA in 11.1 innings) have impressed.
Post-Season Accolades
A number of A's prospects have taken home hardware for their strong 2010 campaigns.
Three Midland Rockhounds took home post-season Texas League accolades. Corey Brown and Josh Horton were named to the Texas League post-season All-Star team, while hitting coach Webster Garrison was honored with the Coach of the Year award.
Brown is currently second in the league in batting average with a .321 mark. He also has 10 homers, 48 RBIs and 19 stolen bases in 20 chances in 89 games for Midland. Brown's 919 OPS is fourth-best in the league.
Always steady defensively, Horton has contributed offensively to the tune of a .282 average for Midland this season, good for 12th-best in the league. He has hit .284 with a 740 OPS since the All-Star break. Horton missed the first three weeks of the season rehabbing an off-season elbow surgery.
The Stockton Ports are also well-represented on the California League post-season All-Star team. Shortstop Grant Green, third-baseman Stephen Parker and pitcher Shawn Haviland all made the Cal League post-season squad.
Green has been a steady force all season for Stockton. He is batting .313 with 18 homers, 80 RBIs and an 869 OPS. He ranks 10th in the league in OPS and second in the league in doubles (37).
Parker has also had an outstanding first full season with 20 homers, a .292 average and an 896 OPS for Stockton. Parker ranks second in the league in walks (79), ninth in homers, fifth in RBIs (89) and eighth in OPS.
Haviland is 9-6 with a 3.62 ERA in 144.1 innings for Stockton this season. He ranks fourth in the league in ERA, seventh in wins and second in strike-outs (159).
In the Midwest League, Kane County was represented on the post-season All-Star team by starter Ian Krol, who finished his time with the Cougars with a league-best 2.65 ERA in 118.2 innings. He walked only 19 and led the league with a 0.99 WHIP. Krol has since moved up to the Cal League, where he has allowed four earned runs in 9.2 innings over two starts.
Post-season All-Star teams have yet to be announced for the Pacific Coast, Northwest and Arizona Leagues.

A. Lange & Söhne - Saxonia Annual Calendar
The Saxonia Annual Calender is a luxurious timepiece, designed to be both easy to use as well as aesthetically pleasing.
The Saxonia Annual Calender deftly combines visually pleasing design with practical information for a unique luxury timepiece that transcends generations. It features detailed, yet easy to read, dials that display an annual calendar with outsize date, day of the week, month, and moon phase. For busy executives who may work extremely long days, this is a well deserved reward that will enhance every day.
Though many luxury watches require their owners to wind them by hand, this horological gem features a self winding mechanical movement. Owners can admire the magnificent movement, whose accuracy far surpasses other watches' quartz movements in precision and longevity, through the sapphire glass case back. The red coloured jewels, blued screws, and gold gears all combine for a miniature example of functional art.
A. Lange & Söhne has worked since their founding in 1854 to perfect functional minimalism, and in the Saxonia Annual Calendar, it would appear that they have found triumphant success. Despite the myriad features displayed on the solid silver dial of this watch, the deliberate editing of each dial's labels is what makes them easy to read despite their small size. For example, the name of every other month has been omitted from the small month dial, while the day of the week dial utilizes capitalized three letter abbreviations for each day's name.
It is also worth noting that while the moon phase is a beautiful miniature of the moon cycle, it is also so accurate that it only requires adjustment once every 122 years. What is even more remarkable, however, is that as one of the most coveted luxury timepieces crafted in the world, its quality of workmanship and materials is so high that it may still be in your family in 122 years! A. Lange & Söhne's luxury timepieces are considered to be instant heirloom items, each of which is appropriate to be passed on from father to son, generation to generation, at life's best moments, such as a wedding or graduation.

Better than Expected!: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by SherleneA
Overall Member Rating
Better than Expected!
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
One of the main reasons we chose Royal Caribbean was due to the feedback that "going Royal" is taking a step-up. After having an unpleasant experience with Carnival Destiny, we decided to give RC a chance. The first thing I must mention is that the Carnival Destiny was built in 1991 and RC Majesty of the Seas was built in 1992. Though, the Majesty of the Seas looks 10 times better than the Destiny. The decor was of better quality and class. It was not "bright" and tacky. Now on the Carnival Destiny, it was terrible as the ship's condition was the main factor as to why we had a horrible time. Therefore for a ship of this age and in such great shape, I can only imagine what the newer ships look like.
The crew and staff of RC was very nice. I was impressed and taken aback by More how nice they were. Carnival is known as the "Fun Ship" but I truly believe of the 3 cruises, this one by far gets the better rating in terms of the ships crew and their friendliness.
In regards to additional tips, here is some things I noted to help all of you: Do not book a room on the 8th Deck near the Club. I would be pissed if I had a room here, because this is where ALL the traffic is at from 11pm-3am. The noise from the people walking to and from the Club would annoy me. I believe the room numbers were 8500. Please seek out the layout of the ship, and avoid getting a room their. Also, make sure you attend the Game Show "Quest". After being on 3 ships, the activities begin to look the same, but "Quest" was absolutely hilarious. I laughed so much that my voice was gone the next day! And please do enter yourself in the free giveaways. So many people sign up, but don't show up for the actual give-away. We were lucky to win a Spa Treatment after 30 names were called! We were excited about that!
In regards to Ports, this time my fiance' and I decided to freestyle this one. We usually do intense research looking for excursions, but this time we decided to do it differently. Though I wish we had something set up for Nassau because although the Atlantis is nice to see, we were bored after a while. We did do the Kayaking in Coco Cay, and that was nice to do.
Overall, I would do RC again. I would love to try out a bigger and newer ship due to my pleasant experience on this older ship. Though I will admit that as a young couple, we did find ourselves comparing the activities with Carnival. Both my fiance' and I agreed that in regards to activities, Carnival wins the cake! Less

Joel Diaz stops Victor Sanchez in 5
Hard punching unbeaten prospect Joel Diaz (12-0, 11 KOs) of Palmdale, California went on the road and stopped Victor Sanchez (4-6-1, 1 KO) in Sanchez' hometown of Houston, Texas. The bout was a featured eight round super featherweight attraction with Lou Savarese promoting. Sanchez' record is very deceiving having fought and beaten unbeaten prospects. He even entered this bout coming off of his first round KO upset of Ramon Valdes (11-3) last month near Valdes' Southern California hometown. This time Sanchez was fighting in front of his hometown fans who saw Diaz become the first to stop Sanchez inside the distance.
A very busy 2013 is being planned for Diaz by his promoter Boxing360. "I want to thank Lou Savarese for his professionalism and look forward to working with him again. I'm looking to have Joel fight two more times this month in addition to tonight's fight. It is well known in boxing circles that Joel is talented, which is why I am keeping him busy and properly moving his career at the right pace," said Boxing360 Founder Mario Yagobi.
The promoter first had Diaz scheduled to fight unbeaten Tyler Asselstine in a scheduled for TV ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights co-feature this past February, but Diaz unforturnately injured his hand a week before the fight forcing him to withdraw.
Next up for Diaz will be an eight round April 13th date at the Peck Center in Fernandina Beach, FL with an opponent to be announced. The bout will be shown live at LDLTV.com and Boxing360.com for those who want to see Diaz in action.

Location description from owner
The Dalmatia region
As one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Dubrovnik owes its special charm to the historic monuments which testify to its rich history. The works of the artists, writers and scientists of Dubrovnik have been woven into the texture of the city, whose tourist reputation and attractiveness are based on its culture.
Numerous highly valuable churches and other sacral objects, the city walls, fortresses and museums of Dubrovnik enchant every visitor to this ancient city. Among many cultural events including exhibitions, concerts and plays, particularly prominent is the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, with its musical and theatrical performances taking place in numerous open-air venues.
The bluest point one can spot on the Earth from outer space is the Adriatic,...
he incomparably unpolluted and clear sea that washes the shore and islands of the Dubrovnik area.
Heterogeneousness and diversity are the main features of the beaches in Dubrovnik and its surroundings, so that every visitor can find the one that suits him best… shallow sandy and pebble beaches for families with children, romantic and sheltered coves, fashionable beaches with the most up-to-date facilities, night parties and sports programmes and quiet little bays and rocks for lovers of diving.
According to the opinion pool on http://www.trivago.co.uk, Dubrovnik was included in the top five most beautiful Mediterranean beaches, among the 50 most popular European beaches competing.
With the exception of several sandy beaches, the beaches in the Dubrovnik area are either pebbly or rocky. The most popular sandy beach in the vicinity of Dubrovnik is the Šunj beach on the Island of Lopud. The Dubrovnik ACI Marina and many hotel beaches in Dubrovnik are marked with the Blue Flag, the most valuable ecological sign of unpolluted sea and beach, and of well-equipped and maintained beaches and marinas. A naturist beach is situated on the Isle of Lokrum, also called the island of love, which has many sheltered coves and places for lovers. The Copacabana beach is equipped with an elevator for disabled persons providing easy access to the sea.
The Banje, Uvala Lapad and Copacabana beaches offer numerous entertaining and sports programmes throughout the day and until the late night hours.
One can reach our beaches by boat, car or on foot. This is where you can rest, relax, run away from the stresses of every-day life, enjoy the crystal clear sea and listen to the song of cicadas in the crowns of pine-trees. However, the moment you reach some of the hidden little beaches, it becomes your exclusive place of oblivion.
Swimming in the clear and warm sea will surely relax and refresh you. For those who wish more, the beaches of Dubrovnik offer additional options. Rent a pedallo or scooter and visit picturesque coves in the vicinity of the beach, take a banana boat ride, water-ski and windsurf.
If you have a spirit of adventure, take a kayak at Pile at the foot of Fort Lovrjenac. Row to the Island of Lokrum and Bete Cave and admire the view of the stone walls on your way back. You can explore the Dubrovnik sea bed, enjoy the silence and mystery of the depths and visit protected submarine archaeological sites within the special programmes offered by the diving and water sports centres located at some of the Dubrovnik beaches.
To tennis fans Lapad offers tennis courts at Babin Kuk, the Bay of Lapad and Gospino Polje, from where you can take a walk to the nearby Gorica Svetoga Vlaha hill with the little Church of St Blaise. Every year, at the closing of St Blaise Festival the church is visited by a procession of people carrying banners. From the hill you can enjoy magnificent views over the City and open sea.
Climb the Dubrovnik walls. This amazing 2-kilometre long walk offers a memorable view over the city and open sea.
The Lapad promenades by the sea are waiting for you, even in the mild Dubrovnik winter. It is a real pleasure to walk from the Bay of Lapad, head to the Neptune Hotel with a superb view of the rocks and lighthouse, proceed through Babin Kuk to Copacabana Beach and further along the seashore to the Orsan Sailing Club, where you can refresh yourselves with a fruit juice or cup of coffee.
To those in good shape we recommend climbing Mount Sr?, which offers a breathtaking view over the entire city, surrounding area, open sea and islands. Do not miss a visit to the museum at Fort Imperial - the symbol of the city defence during the Croatian War of Independence. To true adventure lovers we recommend a tour of the beautiful Konavle countryside in small ATV vehicles, for which one does not need driving experience. This is where you can try your skill at recreational horseback riding and explore the Konavle area in a different way - taking the 11-kilometre long blue route through olive-groves, woods and along the steep Konavle coast from where you can admire the spectacular view. If you become hungry after all this, do not miss savouring local smoked ham, cheese and wine. Intoxicated with beauty, your body and soul rejuvenated, you will come back to the pleasant atmosphere of your hotel and a relaxing bath at your wellness centre.
Visit the southernmost part of the Croatian coast, the Prevlaka Park. Croatias biggest free climbing centre, the park also offers paintball, biking, adventure-walks and a tour of the labyrinth of tunnels that was once constructed for military purposes. Among other numerous programmes designed to make your active holiday in Dubrovnik unforgettable are big game fishing, fishing by day and night in Cavtat, sailing on rented sailboats, the salt harvest at the Ston Salt Works, a jeep safari in Konavle and bicycle ride through the unique national park on the Island of Mljet.
Swimming in the crystal clear sea, a cocktail in a romantic place under the starry sky, sunrise…
Dubrovnik in summer offers street performances, Hamlet at Fort Lovrjenac and virtuoso concerts at the Rectors Palace Atrium. In summer Dubrovnik you will meet many famous people and see their luxurious yachts anchored in front of the Old City harbour.
Dubrovnik in summer invites you to enjoy sitting on the steps of St Blaise's Church and by the Orlando Column, to wash your face at the fountain, or, like many other visitors, try and take off your shirt while standing on one foot on the Franciscan Church gargoyle.
Listen to the street entertainers and the song of Dalmatian vocal groups under the vaults, and experience the fervent cheering at the Old City harbour during the water polo matches between the Dubrovnik beach teams which take place within the attractive amateur water polo league unique in the world, nicknamed «the wild league».
The Dubrovnik Green Men on the bell-tower Maro and Baro struck the hours and shortly afterwards repeat the striking, reminding you that, in the early summer morning, Stradun will glitter freshly washed from night adventures.

Ripoff Report
SanDisk Corporation951 SanDisk Drive Milpitas, California USA
SanDisk Corporation reason you should never buy a Sansa clipzip MP3 player Milpitas California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought a SanDisk Sansa clipzip around three months ago. I never download music, only books. When listening to a book, I noticed at the end of a part, it would skip to parts, not in sequential order.
Looked up problem in the manual on their website and it explained that in order to listen to parts in sequential order, you needed to transfer the book from the device back to a computer, create a playlist and list the parts as you wanted to listen to them. As far as I know, this is the only MP3 player that requires all that time and effort in order to listen to a book.
Called the company today to ask if I could send the player back to them and get a refund. I was told that SanDisk doesn't offer a money-back guarantee. So, I will just pitch this useless player and buy one from another company.
Hoping that someone who is thinking about buying one of these players will read this and not make the same mistake I did.

Action Speaks!, the thought-provoking annual discussion series at AS220, returns next week a focus on freedom, starting off with Muhammad Ali's 1964 attempt to separate himself from his "slave name," by eschewing the moniker Cassius Clay. The name change was wildly controversial at the time, putting him at odds with the boxing, media, and political establishment.
Those slated to take part in the discussion on Wednesday, October 10 at 5 pm, are Ernest Allen, professor of Afro-American studies at UMass-Amherst; former Yankee Jim Bouton, the author of Ball Four; Elliot Gorn, a Brown professor history and author of The Manly Art: Bare-Knuckle Prize Fighting in America; and Craig Robinson, the coach of Brown's men's basketball team.
The discussion will be preceded by a broadcast (9 pm, Monday) on RI-PBS of the documentary Superfight: Marciano vs. Ali. For more information about Action Speaks!, visit www.as220.org/actionspeaks. The Phoenix is a cosponsor.
Robinson took part in an e-mail interview in advance of the discussion:
Muhammad Ali's decision to change his name in was very controversial. how do you regard his decision to change his name, and what meaning does it hold for us today?
When looking back on the name change, I view it as his individual right to practice his religion of choice. This should reiterate to society that while it might be tough to stand up for what you believe in, one can. People like Ali have made it easier for all of us.
How would you describe the role of athletes in the contemporary political climate?
Unfortunately, the role of athletes is virtually non-existent in contemporary politics.
How has your outlook on this been influenced by being Barack Obama's brother-in-law?
No correlation.
Ali's name change has been called an effort to free himself from his "slave name." What's your sense of the extent to which we as Americans are free of the past, and the degree to which we can be free if we, as a society, tend not to acknowledge slavery and its impact?
You can try to forget the past or revisit and come to different conclusions regarding cause and effect, but you can't be free of the past. The past shapes the present, which, in turn, shapes our actions in the future. The longer society doesn't acknowledge slavery, the harder it will be to live with the ramifications.
New York Times sports columnist William Rhoden writes in his book 40 Million Dollar Slaves that the legend surrounding pioneering black athletes like Ali, Jackie Robinson, and Althea Gibson may amount to a crutch for modern day race relations. What do you think?
Unfortunately, I haven't read his book, so I'd be afraid to comment on what he was thinking or meant by "crutch." But I will say that what hurts race relations today is the same thing that always hurts race relations – small-minded people who are afraid of exploring the differences (or lack thereof) between themselves and others who appear different.
