But the most important achievement so far is that Obama has managed (mostly) to keep our nation's optimism afloat — despite Blagojevich, despite the auto-industry-bailout mess, despite the public's generally pessimistic outlook, Obama is still enjoying higher ratings and a longer honeymoon period than any recent predecessor. He's courting doubters while making sure that his base gives him the benefit of the doubt. That's Change.
Not there yetThe question becomes whether Obama will be a servant to his advisors, or whether he will learn from their experience, absorb their suggestions, and yet ultimately go his own, progressive, way.
As he rounds out his cabinet appointments, we'll assess his progress. (See how Obama's selections measure up, as they're made, at thePhoenix.com/TakeBackBarack.) With education, Obama was under pressure from conflicting pro-union and reform interests. One of his top transition-team education advisors was Linda Darling-Hammond, who had the support of teachers' unions, and is somewhat notorious for her stances against Teach for America and No Child Left Behind; but on Tuesday he chose Chicago public-school superintendent Arne Duncan — who is more reform-minded (generally favoring concepts such as merit-based teacher pay, charter schools, and high-stakes testing), but has questionable classroom bona-fides.
There's also the whole question of America's relationship with food, eating, and farming — and who Obama picks as his agriculture secretary will set the tone on these issues. While he's said he doesn't want the job, here's what sustainable-food guru Michael Pollan told PBS host Bill Moyers about the decision: "What Obama needs to do, if he indeed wants to make change in this area — and that isn't clear yet that he does, at least in his first term — I think we need a food policy czar in the White House because the challenge is not just what we do with agriculture, it's connecting the dots between agriculture and public health, between agriculture and energy and climate change, agriculture and education."
Just last week, in a New York Times column, Nicholas Kristof suggested Obama "name a reformer to a renamed position" — Secretary of Food and Agriculture, or just of Food, perhaps?
On so many other questions — How will Obama deal with terror-suspect detainees? Who will he appoint to federal courts? How will his administration address the possibly illegal maneuverings of its predecessors? — we will simply have to wait and see. Perhaps, in this case, patience is practical.
"Sure, there's a chance that Mr. Obama, derided this past year by the right as an empty slate who tried to mean all things to all people, has simply been leading the left on and is now morphing into a rudderless pragmatist who will break their hearts," Steve Kornacki writes in the New York Observer. "But pragmatism doesn't have to be rudderless. It's just as easy to portray Mr. Obama's early moves as a sign that he will be pragmatic about pursuing progressive goals."
But there's a fine line between pragmatism and losing sight of one's principles. If Obama turns out to be "more of the same," or more like "more of the same" than he is like Change, the progressives will go back in the closet they came out of to support Obama. A generation of young people might get their hopes dashed and become cynical opters-out of the political system, like the preceding generation.

Charles Deslondes
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Charles Deslondes was one of the slave leaders of the 1811 German Coast Uprising, a slave revolt that began on January 8, 1811, in the Territory of Orleans. He led more than 200 rebels against the plantations along the Mississippi River toward New Orleans. White planters formed militias and ended up hunting down the rebels. The slave insurgents killed two white men, and the militias and executions killed 95 slaves.
Early life[edit]
Born into slavery in Saint-Domingue (now, Haiti), Deslondes was described in some accounts as mulatto or mixed race. He was brought to the Louisiana Territory by his master after the Haitian Revolution, when thousands of French Creoles brought their slaves and mixed-race refugees also left the island. Of the 9,059 immigrants in 1809, about 30 percent were white and 35.6 percent were slaves; the remainder were free people of color.[1]
Deslondes worked as a "driver," or overseer of slaves, on the plantation of Col. Manuel Andre or Andry (this plantation was later called Woodland and no longer exists) who had a total of 86 slaves.[1] In a letter printed in the Philadelphia Political and Commercial Advertiser on February 19 that year, Deslondes was mistakenly described as a free person of color.[2]
The revolt[edit]
Deslondes had organized slaves and maroons for revolt in what is now St. John the Baptist Parish, part of the German Coast (of the Mississippi River) because it had been settled by many German immigrants. As he led his forces, they recruited other slaves from plantations along the way southeast into St. Charles Parish before turning back. Reports were that he led some 200 insurgents in total, although accounts vary.[3] The men killed two whites near the beginning of their march, and burned down three plantation houses and some crops. They captured a limited number of weapons, although they had planned on more.
On January 11, a planter militia led by Col. Manuel André attacked the main body of insurgents at Destrehan Plantation west of New Orleans. André and his son had been the first targets of the insurrection, and the younger André had died as a result of his wounds. The militia killed about forty slaves in their immediate confrontation. They killed fourteen more slaves in other skirmishes and captured numerous men. After they interrogated the captives, they quickly tried and executed eighteen slaves at the Destrehan plantation. They tried and executed eleven slaves in New Orleans. A total of ninety-five insurgents were killed in the aftermath of rebellion.
As for Deslondes, upon capture the militia did not hold him for trial or interrogation. Samuel Hambleton described Deslonde's fate: "Charles [Deslondes] had his hands chopped off then shot in one thigh & then the other, until they were both broken — then shot in the body and before he had expired was put into a bundle of straw and roasted!"[4]
While the number of slaves in the 1811 Louisiana revolt was the largest in U.S. history, they killed only two white men.

Have RV Questions? Ask an RV Mechanic Online.
Hi Randall,
Thanks for all of this information......especially the note on the safety hoses! Any round about idea how much these cost? We are in Canada.
Is there some way we can tell if our regulator is adjustable?
If it needs to be "adjusted" is there any way we can do this ourselves since it will need to be done at least once a year?
You also said "turn the oven to pilot and push the knob in and light it" ...do we have to be pushing the knob in and lighting the pilot at the same time - or do you mean push the knob when turning the knob to 'pilot' and then light it?
You also said " When the coach has been sitting for any length of time this takes some time"...do you mean it could take some time to light the burner itself or it will take some time for the burners to come to full flame?
How long should we hold a flame to the burner before giving up...I don't want to blow the trailer up!
One more question I forgot to ask. The trailer has air conditioning controlled by a wall mounted thermostat - do we need to have the pilot light for the furnace on to work the AC? It has it's own breaker switch.
If you could locate an 'Owners Information package' for a 1998 Fleetwood Terry 29S that would be super!

Waiting for a Mentor: The fun side of life
Waiting for a Mentor: The fun side of life
It's not always easy out there. All of us are expected to roll with the punches and stay ahead of the curve. Having supportive friends in our lives keeps us grounded and provides us an outlet to manage what life tosses our way.
An outgoing, active 9-year-old boy, David gets along with everyone. His grandfather was raising him, but in the last year he lost him. Now he is waiting for a guy to be his friend and show him the "fun side of life" again.
Mentors help create consistency and calm in the lives of children. Kids can go through difficult things, but by sharing your life and including them in your daily life, you can make such an impact.
Simple things like a shared conversation or a look of acceptance can alter a child's outlook on life. Be that person, make that choice. You will receive so much more than you could ever give.
Kinship Partners serves families in Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples/Motley area by providing positive role models to youth from the ages of 5 to 14. We have offices in Brainerd, Pequot Lakes, Crosby and Staples.
For more information about David or any of the kids on our waiting list, call 218-829-4606, toll free at 877-730-5437 or visit our website at www.kinshippartners.org.

Notting Hill bars and pubs
Read Time Out London's guide to the best pubs and bars in Notting Hill
© Tricia de Courcy Ling
With some of the poshest and poorest communities in London, Notting Hill is a melting pot, and this diversity gives it atmosphere all its own. Venues as diverse as Notting Hill Arts Club, with its international music acts, and laid-back pub Castle can sit within a mile of each other. Read our guide to the best bars and pubs in Notting Hill to find the perfect place for a night out.
Portobello Star
- Rated as: 5/5
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Gentrification has sunk its claws into this once-scruffy boozer, for years one of the holdouts along the Portobello Road. It's a handsome space, more appealing than it seems at first glance, but the real draws are the likeable bartenders' powerful, convincing renditions of cocktails both traditional and modern.
- 171 Portobello Road, W11 2DY
Trailer Happiness
- Rated as: 5/5
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Remaining laudably tongue-in-cheek while the rest of Ladbroke Grove drowns in chichi spots, Trailer Happiness is not a cocktail bar as such – with its deliberately tacky decor (Tretchikoff paintings galore) and DJ hatch, it's far too informal for that. However, the drinks here are taken seriously, with many of them made to vintage American recipes.
- 177 Portobello Road, W11 2DY
Rum Kitchen
- Rated as: 3/5
- Price band: 1/4
With its artfully sun-faded painted wooden slats cladding the walls, and corrugated iron over the bar, Rum Kitchen's decor is designed to invoke visions of liming on the beach. It succeeds nicely, making a welcome change from the downmarket café aesthetic that characterises so many Caribbean venues in London.
- 6-8 All Saints Road, W11 1HH
First Floor
- Rated as: 3/5
A certain kind of west London bohemian generally lands here, the moneyed professional rather than the cadging layabout. The tone of this cosmopolitan drinkerie and eaterie is set by the entrance: a revolving door, which gives the place the feel of an international hotel lobby.
- 186 Portobello Road, W11 1LA
- Rated as: 4/5
- Critics choice
It's been a fair few years since Dick Bradsell was behind the counter here, but his legacy lives on in the shape of the fine modern cocktails: the Rose Petal martini (Bombay Sapphire with Lanique rose liqueur, lychee juice and Peychaud bitters), for example, or the Elderflower Fizz (elderflower cordial, lemon juice, champagne).
- 48 Lonsdale Road, W11 2DE
- Rated as: 3/5
Whatever the price and quality of the gastropub fare (pork belly and mash for a tenner, roasted root risotto at £7.50), this is a proper Portobello local. The majority of the jolly, bohemian-minded punters hanging around the pleasingly sparse, open-plan interior – probably at the bar – seem cheerfully merry whatever the time of day.
- 225 Portobello Road, W11 1LU
Notting Hill Arts Club
Dedicated to polymorphic pleasures of very much an arts-based kind, this scruffily chic basement centre is home to – among other regular events like RoTa and Radio Gagarin – YoYo, which is still rammed every Thursday after almost a decade of programming hip hop, garage/grime, dubstep and bassline-heavy acts.
- 21 Notting Hill Gate, W11 3JQ
Ladbroke Arms
- Rated as: 3/5
The prominent, self-standing pub sign on the front terrace proudly declares 'Free House', and sure enough, the Ladbroke Arms is a law unto itself. Happy to cater both to moneyed fortysomethings sinking sancerre on the sunny front terrace, and to ale aficionados after a pint of Sharp's Doom Bar or Twickenham Spring Ale, the Ladbroke stands on a quiet, residential street in Holland Park.
- 54 Ladbroke Road, W11 3NW
- Rated as: 3/5
Previously renowned as a genuine local that belied its salubrious surroundings, this corner pub is under new ownership. It's had a serious spruce-up, and now, perhaps, feels more at home on its road of pastel-coloured cottages and Victorian townhouses.
- 24 Hillgate Street, W8 7SR
Craft beer in west London
- Price band: 2/4
The characterful Aberdeenshire brewery brings its love of craft beer – there are 40 choices on tap, plus more in bottles – to this site just off Shepherd's Bush Green. There are also branches in Camden and Shoreditch.
- 15-19 Goldhawk Rd, W12 8QQ
White Horse
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
You'd be hard pushed to find a pub that treats beer with more reverence than the White Horse in Parsons Green. Numerous Camra awards recognise its dedication to real ale, but craft brews also are taken very seriously.
- 1-3 Parsons Green, SW6 4UL

Elegance of Iris
Irises look stately on their own, but clustered together their airy softness offers a special appeal.
- Prepare a vase with cool water. Add floral food as directed. Floral food not only helps the flowers continue to flourish, it also slows bacterial growth, which clogs flower stems.
- Trim the bottom half inch or so off each iris stem.
- Arrange the irises, and keep them out of direct sunlight and drafts to lengthen their life. Every two to three days, remove the flowers and wash the vase with warm, soapy water. Recut iris stems and add to vase with fresh water and additional floral food.

The Four Million HTML version
Sisters Of The Golden Circle
The Rubberneck Auto was about ready to start. The merry top-riders had been assigned
to their seats by the gentlemanly conductor. The sidewalk was blockaded with sightseers
who had gathered to stare at sightseers, justifying the natural law that every creature on
earth is preyed upon by some other creature.
The megaphone man raised his instrument of torture; the inside of the great automobile
began to thump and throb like the heart of a coffee drinker. The top-riders nervously
clung to the seats; the old lady from Valparaiso, Indiana, shrieked to be put ashore. But,
before a wheel turns, listen to a brief preamble through the cardiaphone, which shall point
out to you an object of interest on life's sightseeing tour.
Swift and comprehensive is the recognition of white man for white man in African wilds;
instant and sure is the spiritual greeting between mother and babe; unhesitatingly do
master and dog commune across the slight gulf between animal and man; immeasurably
quick and sapient are the brief messages between one and one's beloved. But all these
instances set forth only slow and groping interchange of sympathy and thought beside
one other instance which the Rubberneck coach shall disclose. You shall learn (if you
have not learned already) what two beings of all earth's living inhabitants most quickly
look into each other's hearts and souls when they meet face to face.
The gong whirred, and the Glaring-at-Gotham car moved majestically upon its instructive
On the highest, rear seat was James Williams, of Cloverdale, Missouri, and his Bride.
Capitalise it, friend typo—that last word—word of words in the epiphany of life and love.
The scent of the flowers, the booty of the bee, the primal drip of spring waters, the
overture of the lark, the twist of lemon peel on the cocktail of creation—such is the bride.
Holy is the wife; revered the mother; galliptious is the summer girl—but the bride is the
certified check among the wedding presents that the gods send in when man is married to
The car glided up the Golden Way. On the bridge of the great cruiser the captain stood,
trumpeting the sights of the big city to his passengers. Wide-mouthed and open-eared,
they heard the sights of the metropolis thundered forth to their eyes. Confused, delirious
with excitement and provincial longings, they tried to make ocular responses to the
megaphonic ritual. In the solemn spires of spreading cathedrals they saw the home of the
Vanderbilts; in the busy bulk of the Grand Central depot they viewed, wonderingly, the
frugal cot of Russell Sage. Bidden to observe the highlands of the Hudson, they gaped,
unsuspecting, at the upturned mountains of a new-laid sewer. To many the elevated
railroad was the Rialto, on the stations of which uniformed men sat and made chop suey
of your tickets. And to this day in the outlying districts many have it that Chuck Connors,
with his hand on his heart, leads reform; and that but for the noble municipal efforts of

About Berkshires
A Berkshires getaway in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts is the perfect way to escape the bustle of everyday life and experience breathtaking natural beauty. Get the most out of your time here by staying in a vacation rental, such as a secluded cabin in the woods. Wake up in your vacation rental to the sound of birds and forest life, and enjoy coffee on your private balcony as the sun rises. Then wander downtown to explore the shops, local museums, and unique independent art galleries. In the afternoon, head for the trails to hike to cascading waterfalls, experience a Berkshires zip line adventure, or take an ATV tour. At the end of a busy day, retreat to your home away from home and host a barbeque or a game night for your family and friends.
Here are a few additional suggestions for your trip:
- Go horseback riding: There are several well-maintained stables in the Berkshires area that offer lessons or guided single and multi-day trail rides.
- Take a snowmobiling lesson: During the winter, the back country trails through the mountains are perfect for snowmobiling. Take a lesson or join a group adventure.
- Go skiing or snowshoeing: Cross country skis offer a quieter way to explore the pristine snowy trails and increase opportunities to spot elusive wildlife like foxes and black bears.
- Go fishing: Take a fly fishing trip along the winding, hidden waterways, or rent a boat and cast your line in the lake at sunrise.
- Spend an afternoon in the spa: Indulge in a day of pampering at a Berkshires spa with a manicure, pedicure, or hot rock massage.
- Play golf: Tee off at any one of several champion caliber, emerald green golf courses throughout the Berkshires region.
No matter what activities you have in mind for your vacation or what time of year you plan to visit the Berkshires, you'll find endless things to do here, and the best way to enjoy it all is with your own private vacation rental. Find a cabin or condo that offers all the luxury amenities you and your family need, then relax, unwind, and make great vacation memories. While you're in the Berkshires, you may also want to visit the coast and explore the historic villages of Cape Cod.

From targets to solutions and commitments, the 6th World Water Forum "Time for Solutions" is advocating a strategic approach to solving key water problems. Whether institutional, technical, legal, financial or communication-related, a solution is a successful answer to a problem and contributes to reaching one of the Forum's ambitious thematic and regional targets. Commitments can then be sought at all levels and from all kind of stakeholders to strengthen the implementation and follow-up of the target action plans and promising solutions.
idid send my solution but it is not shown
How can I find back a saved solution?
My solution is neither published nor I am informed whether it is been rejected or accepted or need changes???
Mine was the similar case. Please send an inquiry to solutions[at]worldwaterforum6.org.
You can see my submission at http://www.solutionsforwater.org/solutions/community-led-integrated-waste-and-wastewater-management

Water is curios molecule. It's so important yet has been ignored by its users. Today's scenario is discouraging. We have insufficient amount of fresh water to quench the thirst of humanity. We have insufficient amount of water to irrigate our lands. The problem is worsening each passing day. Many water forums are busy devising a strategy to establish IWRM. We know it is not an easy task.
I believe technology can help us out of this dilemma. What we badly need at the moment is understanding among the world leaders that international peace is a prerequisite for establishment of IWRM. Smooth transfer of water related technology is only possible if advanced nations stop doubting the abuse of technology by poor countries.
Space technology can help us achieve IWRM.
I am interested in breaking the jinx of non sustainable operations in Urban Water Supply in Africa. i am of the opinion that the urban dwellers of Africa should be able to pay water rates that can make an operator cover its cost and make some fair profits without government subsidy. I often ask, why are GSM operators smiling to the banks, raking billions from the same so called poor who are being shielded by international advocacy from paying for water.
@PRIYANTHI HEMAMALI RAJAPAKSA: Dear Priyanthi; when a member submits a solution it is not published immediately. It undergoes a validation process. This can take two to three weeks as we are receiving many solutions from all over the world. Can you please send us the title of the solution via this email solutions[at]worldwaterforum6.org and we will check its status in our data base and reply you as soon as possible.
@Safwat Abdel-Dayem: once you have saved your solution, you should go to your profile and click on the solutions tab. There you will see the title of your saved solution. You can click on the edit button to complete your solution and the click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
@Saifullah Khan: Your solution has already been validated and published by the 6th World Water Forum team. Here is the link: http://www.solutionsforwater.org/solutions/to-contribute-to-poverty-reduction-in-pakistan-through-the-achievement-of-water-and-sanitation-mdgs
Thank you very much for your contribution.
@Shahjahan Bhatti & @Adedayo Mark-Adeyemi: Both of you have given very interesting insights. Please carry on the discussion. Thank you;
Hi Bhatti, I am a member of the National sub-committee on IWRM in Nigeria. I think communication is a key element in IWRM. Most people do not have a clear understanding of IWRM because of the way we communicate it. At times when i read the tool kits and other resources, i am tempted to conclude that IWRM is just everything that is right in the Water and Environment at times it confuse me. How do I communicate to the stakeholders outside our field especially the impatient, vote seeking Politician? Nevertheless my own simple definition is "IWRM simply means without you, we are not complete, without your input, we are not doing it right"
I have sent my solution in right time but why my solution was not published yet ?
please give suggestions and feedback to me
I am waiting for publishing my solution
looking forward to hearing from you
@Adedayo Mark-Adeyemi: may be you can use blogs and social media to communicate about IWRM! We have many solutions on the platform related to IWRM. May be you can start by commenting on them and start a discussion about IWRM? For example:
@Kulmani Devkota: Did you receive a confirmation email when you submitted a solution? If yes, your solution is being processed by the 6th World Water Forum team. Once your solution is validated it will be published online. This can take two or three weeks as we are receiving many solutions from all over the world. Please bear with us. Thank you.
On Jan 25 the Mekong River Comission uploaded an INNOVATIVE SOLUTION on decentralization leading to sustainable financing of this transboundary cooperation institution. Until now this solution was neither posted nor information on its faith circulated to the proponent or to the Target Coordinator. Grateful for any feedback.
I give the UTM coordinates for the location of the solutions delivered by FESAN, "Water & Sanitation Community Learning Centres" and "Post earthquake recovery of stabilization wastewater lagoons system of Maule, Chile", to be displayed more clearly in Google Maps.

The 6th World Water Forum team
Water is the resource that will determine the wealth, welfare, and stability of many countries in the twenty-first century. We need a new approach to managing water that will overcome the conflicts that emerge when the interactions among natural, societal, and political forces are overlooked. At the heart of these conflicts are complex water networks.
In managing them, science alone is insufficient but neither is policy-making that doesn't take SCIENCE into account. Solutions will only emerge if a negotiated or diplomatic approach—that blends science, policy, and politics—is used to manage water networks. We need show how open and constantly changing water networks can be managed successfully using collaborative adaptive techniques to build informed agreements among disciplinary experts, water users with conflicting interests, and governmental bodies with countervailing claims.
In America a good example of this model is the modern water management in Mexico and Brazil, Mexico has CONAGUA(political arm) + IMTA (Scientific and Technology Arm).
Other countries leave the memory management in shed file of the consultancies, therefore the Public knowledge and information on water are not updated. It is urgent to link these two arms and integrate into a single model of politics, science and technology, and the conflicting interests of users. We are at the time of the solutions, not trials advenisos water managers.
I am still awaiting publication of the solution titled "Towards Mainstream Sustainable livelihood by way of Optimal Use of Water for Food Security through medhbandhan (field bunding) under MGNREGS in Tribal District, Mandla (Madhya Pradesh)".
Notification of its acceptance was received immediately.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for confirming that our paper (solution) titled " Good Governance and HRD: Case Studies of User Managed Safe Rural Drinking Water and Sanitation Projects in India" , has been validated and that it will be first published online. May I please know the status now. Where can I see the online paper as stated above. I will be grateful if you could also kindly send me a letter inviting me to present this paper in the forum. I propose to personally present the paper and look forward to comments from the distinguished delegates. I also would like to request you to kindly consider partial financial support so that I can ask for the rest of the funds from our own institute or any other source. You may perhaps like to consider reimbursement of air fares of Indian rupees 50,000/- or 800 Euros or offer me free accommodation at any decent place. In fact , I have no particular choice of accommodation. Anything that is secure and moderate is Ok with me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Phenomenal donuts. Also celiac and don't get sick! Had chocolate sea salt and coconut!
GF chocolate w/ sea salt = awesome. Don't bother with any other flavors.
Delicious donuts. I have celiac and did not get sick.
Dense but delicious. Haven't had a donut that isn't cake like though. Had four options. Got the chocolate coconut and it was a great treat. Would definitely come back!
So good! Got half dozen gf donuts! Chocolate sea salt, maple, strawberry, old fashioned, cinnamon, glazed! They're homemade Maine potato donuts, not potato flour, mashed potato! They have non gf sweet potato too. So yummy!!
Best gluten free donut ever. Ever ever
Four types of GF donuts!!! Say what?!?! And it was so delicious!
The GF chocolate sea salt donut is sooo good! they generally have one other flavor, but it's not many nor often. This is NOT a GF environment, they make many glutenous donuts a day! I've been sick on several occasions, due to cross contamination.
The food was awesome!
Most amazing GF donut of my life!! The staff is super friendly.
Good donuts and friendly staff. Three gluten free options when we visited. The cinnamon sugar donut was great. Kind of a novelty stop when walking around town
The only celiac friendly donut in town I know of. I was in the shop and overheard someone order a dozen donuts. They said throw a few GF into the box as well because someone at the office was gluten free. The server insisted they go into a separate bag just in case that person was celiac. 'Nuf said!
If you like heavy, deep fried donuts, they offer a couple choices made with potato flour. The rest are all a combo of wheat & potato flour. All I could taste was a "deep fried" flavor. $2.70 for a 'GF' donut
cinnamon donut was amazing. chocolate salted a little too salty and rich for me, but I would drive hours for another cinnamon donut. wow.
Amazing donuts, seriously. The dark chocolate sea salt is basically heaven. If you're really sensitive though, be wary: the shop is quite cloudy (like dense flour-y bakery air, you know?) because they make thousands of glutenous donuts every day! While I have thoroughly enjoyed the donuts I've had on 4-5 different occasions, I had varying reactions to most. Three stars based on gluten-free-friendliness, a million stars based on the holiest of donuts.
Amazing donuts, period. Way better than regular donuts and to be able to enjoy them gf is a treat. They usually have 3 or so gluten free flavors. The coconut and dark chocolate sea salt are to die for.
Dedicated fryers, separate area where gf donuts are displayed so no crumb droppage from the other non-gf donuts. Maybe the best donut I've ever had, even before going gluten-free!
Incredible donuts.
Honestly, the best gluten free donut I have ever had!

But the set, like so much of Cohen's work, also contained moments of redemption. "Hallelujah" was as uplifting as a rendition by its maker could be, and as Cohen gets older, his delivery just grows more and more profound. Near the end of the set proper (there would be a whopping three encore sets!), Cohen declared, "You came to me this morning and you handled me like meat." The ensuing read-through of song-poem "A Thousand Kisses Deep," a bare, spoken meditation on the frailty of love and memory, was elegant, poetic, and mercifully free of sax punctuation. ^

st: Sample weights when combining different surveyes (NHANES)
Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:52:35 +0100
Dear All
This is not strictly a Stata question, but I expect it is one that
several of you have or will come across.
I want to combing different rounds of the NHES, and NHANES surveys
from NCHS. Instructions are quite clear about which weights,
pseudo-psus and strata to use for the individual surveys (NHANES3),
and when combining different rounds of the continuous NHANES
My question is how to combine NHANES3 with the continuous NHANES, and,
further, how to combine NHES1,2 & 3, and NHANES1 & 2 with these later
All advice gratefuly recieved and duly acknowledged.
RIchard Palmer-Jones

On March 3, Continental and United will have one reservations system, frequent flyer program, and website. For the most part, the new system builds on the former Continental infrastructure: It uses Continental architecture, Continental passenger records, and such.
The two carriers, which merged in 2010, have been separately reassuring us that we won't "lose" anything in the process, and—other than familiarity with the United system—we won't. All you former United types need to do is make sure that you've "linked" your frequent-flyer ID with your Continental ID. If you don't have a Continental frequent-flyer account, the United site will generate one for you.
The system will undoubtedly suffer some glitches (or at least hiccups) during the transition. I have an itinerary booked through Continental, for example, and I haven't been able to access it for the last few days; this will doubtless correct itself within a few days. Still, it wouldn't hurt to keep checking to see if your mileage, status, outstanding reservations, or whatever get through the transition accurately.

Senator Durbin Reveals the Truth At Last — Not!
In his latest verbal fiasco, Senate Richard J. Durbin reveals that he knew all along that the Bush administration misused intelligence on Iraq to lead us into war (here).
"The information we had in the intelligence committee was not the same information being given to the American people. I couldn't believe it," Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, said Wednesday when talking on the Senate floor about the run-up to the Iraq war in 2002.
"I was angry about it. [But] frankly, I couldn't do much about it because, in the intelligence committee, we are sworn to secrecy. We can't walk outside the door and say the statement made yesterday by the White House is in direct contradiction to classified information that is being given to this Congress."

The Battle for Iraq: Apathy, Pacifism, Power Politics, and the Decline of America
Democrats argue Iraqis do not have a cultural heritage conducive to democratic government and that the threat posed by Saddam Hussein could have been contained. On the other hand, Republicans believe Saddam Hussein's connections with terrorists made Hussein too dangerous and that we can reform Iraq as reformed both Japan and Germany. Even after four years of struggle, these arguments have continued. So a Democrat Congress plans to send President Bush a bill with a time table to withdraw from Iraq (here), and President Bush promises a veto.

LGBT marriage licenses still issued in Pueblo County
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Colorado Supreme Court has ordered gay marriage licenses stopped in Denver and Adams counties, at least until it decides the constitutionality of Colorado's gay marriage ban.
One county not mentioned: Pueblo, which has been issuing licenses since July 11th.
Daneya Esgar, President of Southern Colorado Equality Alliance, admits, she's nervous about the future of marriage equality in Pueblo County.
"We really wanted to dig in and see what this ruling meant. It makes us nervous for the couples here in Pueblo," Esgar said.
That court's ruling came after Colorado Attorney General John Suthers asked the State Supreme Court to make a decision on a lawsuit by several same-sex couples in both Denver and Adams counties.
It claims the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
The court has ordered gay marriages stopped in those counties while it decides the issue.
Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert Ortiz would not answer any questions about that decision, but provided this statement: "
"The order issued by the Supreme Court is one sentence that specifically identifies the Denver County and Adams County clerks, and at this time we are evaluating what the implications are for Pueblo County. For the time being we will continue and issue licenses."
If the ban is overturned, it could set a precedent for six other states that ban gay marriages.
But the marriage licenses in Pueblo County will still be legal regardless of the state court's decision.
For now, the LGBT community is cautiously optimistic, but Esgar suggests couples who want to get married, do it soon.
"We all have love in our hearts," she said. "We all have this passion to be sure everyone is treated fairly under the law. We will continue this fight and continue to be optimistic."
A lower court already ruled the state ban unconstitutional, but the judge stayed that decision or delayed enacting it until the state Supreme Court rules.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound cornerback has the spent the past two weeks getting to know Iowa State's new head Paul Rhoads. "I've been able to speak with Coach Rhoads about two or three times and he's real cool," said Washington. "He knows what he is doing and what he is after at Iowa State. He plans to use me the same way as the other staff did which will be at cornerback."
Jacques also recently received a call from new Iowa State secondary coach Chris Ash. "Coach Ash called me a few days ago and he seemed cool," said Washington. "We didn't talk too much football but it was more us just getting to know each other."

VIRAL VIDEOS: Week of August 10th
Audio clip:
Audio clip:
Here's what's going viral now on Facebook.
"Adam Buxton – Counting Song."
In this animated clip, the British comedian turns a kid's song into a funny dose of reality. It features a child-like robot singing a cheerful ear bug, counting balloons and cake in a colorful park… before fast-forwarding his life by 30 years to a gloomy city where the sad robot… now grown-up… counts his problems instead.
Then, there's this:
"Ragù – Long Day of Childhood Commercial."
This spot shows a little boy walking in on his parents while… in bed… and retreating, clearly horrified. Later for dinner, his mom whips up a big plate of pasta smothered in Ragù and, after one bite, the trauma is wiped clean from the boy's face.

Double Happiness // Didier Faustino
French-Portuguese architect Didier Faustino created this really amazing swing set out of a converted advertising billboard for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture.
The piece is titled Double Happiness, and responds to the society of materialism where individual desires seem to be prevailing over all. This nomad piece of urban furniture allows the reactivation of different public spaces and enables inhabitants to reappropriate fragments of their city. They will both escape and dominate public space through a game of equilibrium and desequilibrium. By playing this "risky" game, and testing their own limits, two persons can experience together a new perception of space and recover an awareness of the physical world.
I love how the installation mixes art and architecture, and creates interaction between the piece and passer-by.

Fast Break: Knicks survive furious Celtics comeback
|05.03.13 at 10:03 pm ET
A montage of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the first half with the tagline "heart of a champion" left the Garden crowd in awe. Then, a Knicks barrage left those same fans in shock. Finally, the Celtics showed that heart, rattling off a 20-point run midway through the fourth quarter and making a game of it, but it proved too little, too late.
Garnett came to play, and Pierce finally showed up in the fourth quarter, but an 88-80 loss in Game 6 ended their season, opening up a Pandora's Box of questions nobody in the Celtics organization wants to answer. That's another story for a different day. Here's what went wrong in their final game of the season.
Worst first: The Celtics were lucky to get out of the first quarter only trailing by 14 points. They shot 25 percent from the field. Garnett made his first three shots, and his teammates finished 1-of-13 in the opening quarter. Pierce went 1-for-8. While the Celtics settled for jump shots, the Knicks scored from everywhere. Seven minutes into the game, New York had as many points off turnovers as the C's had total points. No other word to describe it but ugly.
3 falling: The Celtics missed their first nine 3-pointers, including five bricks from Pierce, and the Knicks' defense held the Celtics to 14 points through the game's first 18 minutes. Meanwhile, Pablo Prigioni made three of his first four attempts from beyond the arc, scoring as many points in the first quarter as he had in any game in the series.
Everything: The Celtics looked gassed. Through three quarters, they had 15 field goals and 17 turnovers. C's not named KG made 8-of-37 shots entering the fourth quarter. It seemed as though they left everything they had on the Madison Square Garden floor in Game 5, when Garnett, Pierce, Jason Terry, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass combined for 201 minutes. Then, the fourth quarter happened, and the Celtics scored more points than they did in all of the first half. It was ridiculous and unsustainable all at the same time.
Green light: Nobody on the Celtics could get within 10 feet of the basket, so Jeff Green gave it a shot. And another. And another. He started just 1-of-6 but led the C's with nine points at the break — thanks to 6-of-8 shooting from the free throw line. If anybody else could've beat his man off the dribble, the Celtics wouldn't have been in such dire straits at halftime. But Pierce settled for contested jumpers when he should've been deferring to Green, who finished with 21 points on 12 shots. Pierce scored 14 on 18 attempts.
The runs: Any sign of life was a positive. That's how bad the C's offense was. Back-to-back Green and Terry 3's with four minutes left until halftime capped an 8-0 run that left the Garden wondering, "Wait, they're only down 10?" With four minutes remaining in the third quarter, a Terry triple punctuated a 9-2 run that did the same. And, of course, the miraculous 20-0 run in 4:05 that slashed a 75-49 game to a six-point deficit, breathing life back into the building in the fourth quarter.
Melo J.R.: The only thing that kept the Celtics from completely getting their doors blown off was another poor shooting performance by both Carmelo Anthony (7-23 FG) and J.R. Smith (5-13 FG). If only Raymond Felton (11 points, 7 assists) — who killed the Celtics all series — forgot to show up, too, the Celtics might have had a shot.

In Partnership With: Teton Adaptive Sports
Special Guests: Wounded Warriors (OEF/OIF)
In our continuing efforts to offer unique and exciting ski experiences, Adaptive Adventures will collaborate with Teton Adaptive Sports and the Jackson Hole Mountain Sports School to again include adaptive skiers in the popular March Steep and Deep Camp. This is the fourth year for the Adaptive element in the Steep and Deep camp.
This four day camp is targeted for advanced skiers seeking a challenging "big mountain" experience. Participants will develop and refine the strategies and tactics necessary to explore the variety of terrain and snow conditions for which Jackson Hole is famous. US Paralympic Gold Medalist Greg Manino will join with seasoned JHMSS instructors to offer insight on finding the best line, how to read a slope, steep skiing etiquette, and terrain selection. There is also the possibility of an out of bounds experience on either of the last two days depending on weather, snow conditions, and skier ability.
An important part of this camp is "inclusion" as adaptive skiers will participate in all camp activities equally on and off the snow whenever possible. "As an amputee, I usually ski with other adaptive skiers. I really enjoyed the opportunity to be grouped with other skiers based on my abilities and not by the equipment I use to move down the hill. The instructors with the camp were truly top-notch. I cannot wait to come back to the Steeps and Deeps of Jackson Hole next year", was the response from Joel Berman, Executive Director of Adaptive Adventures and participant at last year's camp.
Come join us for a truly fun and exciting ski opportunity!

Analysts' forecasts are typically conservative, giving companies easy bars to jump over. Most companies' earnings beat.
But IBD's Screen Of The Day for Leaders With Rising Estimates focuses on strong stocks that have analysts rethinking their potential and raising their targets.
A diverse group of companies make the grade, including a chain of auto dealerships, a professional networking site, and an oil-and-gas industry construction firm. Here are five growth stocks with rising estimates that are also trading at or near new highs.
Lithia Motors (LAD), a chain of almost 90 new- and used-car dealerships, is driving Detroit iron as well as imported rides to stronger sales. The average American auto is about 11 years old, meaning there's plenty of pent-up demand for replacements. Lithia's Q4 earnings beat analysts' consensus estimates, and the company is projected to follow that up in Q1 with a 27% bump in earnings per share.
Lithia shares dropped on modest guidance last month, but have mostly climbed since. Shares were up 2.2% so far this week through Thursday to 46.01, a new closing high on the stock market.
One of Jazz Pharmaceuticals' (JAZZ) main products, narcolepsy treatment Xyrem, likely has several years ahead of it without any significant generic competition, analysts contend. That's driving strong sales for the Irish drugmaker. After topping estimates last quarter, analysts see it delivering a Q1 bump of 34%.
Jazz shares have bounced mostly sideways for several months, but touched an all-time intraday high earlier this week. The shares were up about 1% for the week Thursday at 59.11.
Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI) has been busy providing engineering and construction services to large energy projects around the globe. High energy prices and new drilling technologies and techniques have meant double-digit sales and profit growth for several quarters. Analysts currently expect a 32% bump in first-quarter EPS.
Its shares have climbed 1.4% this week to 57.82, a more-than-five-year high.
Consumers still like to kvetch about scratchy hotel sheets and overpriced tourist traps. The online review site TripAdvisor (TRIP) happily and profitably gives them a place to do it. The user-generated reviews site spun off from online travel agency Expedia in 2011. Analysts expect a 21% bump in first quarter EPS.
Its shares soared last week on the results of an upbeat survey it released on the prospects for the travel industry in the U.S. Shares were up 3% so far this week to 52.59, an all-time high close.
The online professional networking site LinkedIn (LNKD) gapped sharply higher last month on blowout fourth-quarter results and upbeat guidance. While larger social media rival Facebook (FB) lags well below its May 2012 IPO price, LinkedIn is sitting about 300% above its 2011 IPO price.
Shares climbed 1.7% this week to 179.85, its all-time-high closing price.

Waiting for the evening bus , this man and woman sat next to me and he put my hand on her leg. She was wearing a very short skirt that did not cover up much when she was standing so sitting down and it covered nothing. Any way I started to move my hand up and down her leg from her knee up to the hem of her skirt.
After a day out I was sitting on a bench at a bus stop waiting the 45 minutes until the next bus it was 9.30 pm ,Dark, and raining a little it's a good job this stop had a shelter , when this man and woman came and sat next to me,
They were in there late 20 early 30 and for next ten minutes he had his tongue down her throat and making the slobbering noise's you get , They were going at it as if her mouth was going to disappear and this was going to be the last kiss they ever had, But you know what it's like you just can not help looking.
The man saw that I kept looking at them and I was surprised when I saw him wink at me, He then brought his hand over took hold of mine and placed it on her leg, She was wearing a very short skirt that did not cover up much when she was standing so sitting down and it covered nothing. Any way I started to move my hand up and down her leg from her knee up to the hem of her skirt.
Suddenly the girl slid of the mans lap and sat between us and she gave me a smile and turned to kiss this man again , I carried on moving my hand until my hand was touching her pussy though her knickers, I could feel that she was damp and the heat from her pussy seeped though her flimsy pants.
Onto my fingers each time I reach the top of her leg.
She slowly spread her legs a little wider making it easer for me to touch her and now I could rum a finger up and down her slit, Pushing my finger into her slit forcing her knickers to give and push inside her slit making them ever wetter as I rubbed her knickers over her now swollen clitoris, She was giving out soft moans each time my finger rubbed her and ran up and down her pussy,
I hooked a finger round the knicker leg and pulled it to one side , I could now slide a finger into her pussy My god was this woman wet her fanny was dripping, I touched her clit with my finger and she pulled away from her kissing and moaned 'O' god that's good then planted her lips back on this mans lips, he was needing and fonderling her breasts while I carried on fingering her pussy,
She then slid forward on the seat a bit making it easer for me to enter a finger into her I did not need another invitation and slipped first one finger and then another into her, She was still kiss this man I take it her boyfriend but I could hear her moaning , God yes that's good god O god , She was moving her self round on my finger trying to get them as far as she could into her, when she sat upright forcing my fingers right into her as she came , Her juices running down my hand.
She brought her hand down took my arm and pulled my finger out of her and put them into her mouth sucking them dry, I thought that this was going to be the end of this but I was wrong, This woman stood up and quickly remover her knickers.
While she was doing this the man lent over and undid my zip and put his hand inside my jeans and pulled out my now very hard cock and as it is just about 8" he said to the girl God your going to like this one, She looked down and said "O" my yes that's a great size one and with saying another word she knelt no the bench with one leg either side of me , the man then put his arm up under her and placed the tip of my cock in her slit so it was resting in her pussy hole.
He removed his hand and she just plunged down on my cock and started to fuck me sliding up and down the full length , The man returned his hand and cupped my balls and massaged them as she fucked me , I was forcing my self up into her meeting every downward thrust she was making .
All the time this was going on cars and people were going past and we were getting some strange looks but at this point I did not give a shit , I was getting fucked by a beautiful woman and that was enough for me.
She was still moaning out ,Yes Yes O god Yes as she rode me into heaven I could feel my balls getting tight as I was getting ready to explode in side her. On and on she went riding my cock and the man was still holding my balls and squeezing them, I said I am coming and with that she forced herself down on me hard and I did the same forcing my self as far into her as I could get as I emptied my cum into her filling her up.
She said she was not far from coming again so started to ride my cock once more faster and faster she got until she came once again , Her juices running down my balls and covering her boyfriends hand . When the we had finished he removed his hand and the woman licked it clean .
She got of me and replace her knickers smiled at me and they walked off, My bus turned up five minutes later I went home one very happy man
I have been back there many times and never seen them again.

Fabulous apartment
The only minor irritation was the WiFi which seemed to only work out on the balcony, not exactly a show stopper!
About the Owner
About Jo Mackay
I am a mother with 2 children, age 9 & 12 and a very busy husband! I gave up work with Procter and Gamble 9 years ago to spend time at home with the children. I have loved being able to spend so much time with them. However, with both children now at school, I was keen to start working again. I initially enjoyed managing two of our own holiday properties in the Italian Lakes which we bought in 2008 and 2009 following our first visit to the area in 2007. However, I have now started to manage holiday homes for others, not just in the Italian Lakes, but elsewhere in Italy through my website - I carefully select each property and ensure that I maintain that personal but professional service level that I believe holidaymakers are looking for.
Why Jo Mackay chose Maccagno
My family and I bought a property on Lake Maggiore - it's where we fell hook, line and sinker in love with the country! It's just an amazing area to holiday in, with something for all ages to enjoy from babies and toddlers to teens, parents and grandparents.
What makes this apartment unique
The location of these apartments is particularly good. Right on the lakeside, within walking distance of beaches and watersports, there is also a cafe and bar on site as well as an excellent restaurant, serving modern Italian cuisine. There are plenty of other, more traditional eating establishments within a short walk. It is also possible to walk to the boat terminal, where you can catch a boat to all the other towns and villages on the lake. Whilst I always recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay, this is actually one place where you could get about without one.
Available Rentals
Changeover Day:
Saturday changeover day preferred in peak season however we do aim to be as flexible as possible to accommodate individual guests needs.

Fabulous apartment
When we were taken into the apartment there was certainly a WOW factor. The apartment is spacious ultra modern and well fitted out. The views from the balcony over the lake were fantastic. The on site restaurant is really modern with excellent food and was certainly a fitting place to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday.
The only minor irritation was the WiFi which seemed to only work out on the balcony, not exactly a show stopper!
Most Enjoyable
A Beautiful modern 3 bed/2bath very well laid out apartment in Golfo Gabella, Maccagno which was perfect for our family(6 adults & 1 child).Top floor(of 3) with lift & stairs.2 balconies, one which is full lenght of the apartment with sun almost all day with solid wall around, suited for safety of our 3 year old grandson, the other balcony looked towards the pools & had partial view out across the lake. The complex is very well kept.
There is a Train Station just 5 min walk runs all the way to Milan Malpensa airport terminal. Some rail noise but not troublesome at all. Very convenient for visiting local areas also. There is a lovely lake front walk to the Boat terminal where you can get boat tours to various locations in Lake Maggoire.
The village just 5-10 min walk(uphill!) has several restuarants, small shops, bank, post office etc.
This was a lovely place to stay and holiday in. Located near the Swiss border if one wished to venture there. We did not hire a car on this holiday so thankfully the weather was nice. If the weather was poor a car would be needed.
The only thing which was disappointing for us was the pools were too cold to swim in. But I am sure a few more weeks of warm weather might solve that. Lovely deck & pools with spectacular views across lake Maggoire.
The staff were wonderful and most helpful. We were very grateful for a late check out as our flight was not until 10pm. So we got the 6pm train all the way to the airport...couldn't have been better.
If you like the outdoors, hills, lakes and mixing with the local people then this would make a lovely holiday destination.

Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
Sailing courses take place during the Summer months. Please ask for further details.
The apartments are situated right on the lakeside and the beach at Maccagno is a short stroll away. The beach here is one of the best beaches on the lake to enjoy watersports such as windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing. Many towns around the lake also have their own lido with lake access and wonderful swimming pools. Of note are those at Locarno, Lugano and Ascona.
Fly to Milan Malpensa: approx 45 miles from the property. Easyjet and Monarch fly from LGW.
Fly to Milan Bergamo: transfer time approx 120 mins.
Fly to Milan Linate: transfer time approx 120 mins.
A train service runs from either Milan Malpensa airport or from Milan Central Station which will take you to Luino or Maccagno in 1-2 hours depending on the day and time of travel. A taxi service or boat can then take you from Luino to the apartment. It is within a walk of Maccagno station.
The centre of Maccagno is a short walk away. The village has a selection of bars and restaurants, an icecream shop, cafe and newsagents. There is also a superb restaurant on site serving modern Italian cuisine as well as a cafe where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or an aperitif before dinner. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the lake. The boat terminal is also within walking distance, where you can catch a boat to the other villages on the lake.
Further Details:
The property is perfectly placed for visiting Luino, Cannobio, Cannero, Stresa, Ascona & the Borromean Islands. A great day out is the Lake Maggiore Express by boat up to Ascona and Locarno where you take the '100 Valley' train into the Swiss Alps then connect to Stresa and back by boat to Luino. Also in Switzerland, Valle Verzasca is worth a visit. You can visit the Verzasca Dam which features in Goldeneye. The setting is idyllic. Como is just a 45 min drive. Lake Como enjoys its own ferry service and features Bellagio and Varenna plus Villa Carlotta. In the other direction, Orta San Giulio is definitely one of the prettiest villages on any of the Italian Lakes. It's only a 45 min drive from Lugano & the Monte Salvatore funicular. There is a beautiful lido here too which I would recommend. The brand new lido in Locarno (opened Oct 2009) is also superb.
Or you can catch a train into Milan and go shopping. It's a short metro train ride to Santa Maria delle Grazie and Da Vinci's painting of 'The Last Supper.' If you're more of a sports fan, you can take a tour of San Siro stadium.
For cheaper shopping, Luino boasts the biggest weekly market in Europe. Or you could have a look at Foxtown, an outlet centre where the most famous brands offer their products at factory prices.
Nearby Maccagno is one of the best spots on the lake to enjoy watersports.
Val Veddasca is ideal for hiking. The scenery and nature is fabulous. Most of the nearby mountains also have tracks for mountain bikes.
The area offers plenty to do for children - Swissminiatur, the Alprose Swiss chocolate factory and the European Museum of Transport. Monte Tamaro is a great place with an alpine bob sleigh and the longest flying fox in Switzerland! Or you could try your hand at falconry or visit a safari park! There is a huge waterpark near Milan.
