There will be even more Oprah Winfrey on OWN — the network has picked up the network television rights to Lee Daniels' The Butler, toplined by OWN's CEO and star Winfrey and Forest Whitaker. OWN is getting the first broadcast window behind pay television beginning in 2017. The Weinstein Company-produced sleeper hit recently surpassed $100 million at the box office. "This is a film that every American should see and we look forward to its debut on OWN," said Sheri Salata, president, OWN. "Lee Daniels' The Butler tells the story of a White House butler who served seven American presidents over three decades.
OWN Acquires 'Lee Daniels' The Butler'

It would in no way surprise me if this was always the underlying intentionality to being in the movie. Excellent, excellent, excellent coup for OWN. It's going to steadily become the place for racially integrated, quality media productions with high revenue value and audiences.
Great news!
A movie I refuse to watch on a network I refuse to watch.
Me too. Won't be watching it on her network or anywhere else.
"This is a film that every American should see and we look forward to its debut on OWN," said Sheri Salata, president…THAT'S LIKE SAYING EVERYONE SHOULD DRINK MILK…NOT…it should've gone DTV on release…
Meaning as few people as possible will see it.
I prefer historically accurate portrayals of historical figures – as opposed to changing people into racists to support the racist point of view of the producers.
I agree with Sally MJ. I had read this book and thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed at the changes that were made. The family of The Butler must be appalled at how they are represented. So much of the movie never happened this way or at least not according to the book. I am just surprised that a woman of Ms Winfrey's caliber would go along with this. Make the movie, but don't say that it from the book. Because that is not true.
You are correct the family even said there were quite a few liberties taken in the movie.
Gotta make the republicans look like evil racists ya know.. What a joke.
@Jack: "Read the Book"????? Wrong a mundo sir… The Butler was never a book, # Liar Liar keystrokes on fire
I hope Oprah isn't spending her own money. The Oprah network: where tired old shows go to die.
Who will see it?
The film was not authentic, not accurate, if one were anticipating such treatment, but it was Hollywood fare.
A movie with no audience on a network with no audience. Seems to be a fit.
OK, I didn't like The Butler, but it had an audience. It made over $100 million. It catered toward African Americans, older adults and Christians (the three demos Hollywood likes to ignore, but show up to see movies despite a "surprised" industry).
To quote the parrot in "Aladdin," "Why am I not surprised?"
I suppose in some way this movie captures how many people feel the situation for Blacks was during these periods and though partially accurate in its broader scope the movie is often factually not accurate.
More importantly, and unfortunately, it continues to keep peoples minds muddled in the past. The past is important to remember but it should not drag or prevent progress into a rational present and future.
Oprah, generally, seems to be an honorable person but it should be remembered many people make careers of these issues.
100 million in the film world is not a hit. So no one really saw it in theaters. It had no international release so 60-70% of hollywoods market wasn't available to it and now it's going on a cable station no one watches. Look on the bright side though it'll win a lot of awards so it's basically Oscar bait.
How on Earth is a $100 mil for a movie not a hit?
If the movie cost more than $100 million to make and market, the project is still in the red. And based on the film's limited response (it didn't have "legs,") the figure of $100 million seems a tad inflated.
Seriously, Dan and Sahara, you right wingers are pathetic. It made over $100 million dollars so "no one really saw it in the theater?" The capacity to deny reality that you people on the right have is astounding. Now tell us how climate change isn't real and the earth is only 9,000 years old.
The Butler didn't MAKE $100 million. It DID $100 million. Now take out at least $20 million in marketing costs, back end deals for various actors (the only way they could have gotten so many names for such a mid-range pic), and the many millions that stayed with the theaters (studios don't get everything) and, in reality, the investors aren't left with much at all.
"Facts Not Fox" –
It was the threat of global cooling in the 70s, a new Ice Age.
In the last few decades it was global warming.
Recently it has been shown that the rate of warming has been stagnant or non-existent for quite awhile now.
A few years ago you would've been railing against global warming.
Now, you've conveniently changed the terminology to "climate change." That way you just can't lose.
I didn't see this coming.
economics not bullshit, you are so sad. You're working so hard not to accept that this movie is a hit. Your emotional and psychological immaturity verges on the tragic. You sound pitifully desperate, fabricating back end deals that you don't even know existed to create some imagined scenario where this movie isn't successful. And it is doubtful that the actors were paid very much at all for what amounted to featured roles. Is it so hard for you to live with the knowledge that this movie is a major success? Are you that feeble? Grow up.
The OWN Network. ??? Could Ms. O have sent this any further into the hole? Hopefully prior to showing it on her station she will note the lies and liberal bias concerning Reagan. Will she? NO… that would not fit her racist bias. I saw the movie and it was great. A very moving story, Ms. O and Whitaker were wonderful.but why do the progressive left always have to throw in there own personal hate, bias and racism.
"The Butler" could have been a great movie but, to me, wasn't. It is so historically inaccurate that it just seemed like another black "complaint" movie.
"Historically inaccurate", huh, Joe. I guess they just made up all those attack dogs, diner counter humiliations, and fire hoses. Yeah, that stuff never happened. It's just Black people "complaining" about nothing.
Par for the course and the players. fits their agenda
It's unlikely that OWN will even be in business in 2017.
"Sleeper hit?" Really? This was heavily marketed for months, and it's still managed to barely break $100M. It's not a hit, but perhaps a real sleeper.
She really loves herself in this movie! She really thinks she has so much talent, Oh please
Sarcasm much?
Your loss!
"Every American should see this.." HAHAHA. I think I can live without more racial distortions and caricatures. And Americans won't see it because most of us can't/don't want to find the Oprah channel.
fictional drivel of a factual person, much like the movie Pearl Harbor fictional narrative of a historical event.
Perfect! Now there are not one but two media on which I'll never watch this film: The movie theater and Oprah's Wuss Network.
I don't know about you folks, but does anyone find it a bit strange that this is apparently some hugely successful movie, but, despite honestly looking around, I can't find a single person who has seen it?
All these cranks on here from the Drudge link. Go ahead and boycott. I'm sure Oprah will really miss your money.
Make a movie about Dr. Ben Carson or Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Truly great African Americans and role models for the whole nation.
A movie has already been made about Dr. Carson, you typically uninformed, patronizing right winger. It starred Cuba Gooding. And African Americans don't need you to decide who among them should have their story told. Especially since the only reason you mention those two is that they hold the same backward, bigoted opinions you hold about gays and Iraq, respectively.
Awww, how cute – the mindless, cowardly, hypocrites pulling their usual hate and intolerance while simultaneously lamenting it. Idiots.
Never watched her before or now, Good luck though, Own gives her a chance to reach out to that selected few.

Not directly in city center, but the bus stops right in front of the hotel. We had reasonable rates, for one night's stay. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. We had the double room, and one room was very small, but the other was average, at least. The bathrooms were small, but worked properly, so how much space do you need? The hotel was very clean. We had the breakfast and thought it was 8 euros per person well spent. We would stay here again.

We have just come back from a lovely trip up to Lake Konigssee, and a boat trip down the lake to St Bartholoma. The lake is nestled between the mountains, and is 602m above sea level with an average depth of 150m. It is the cleanest lake in Germany, with the water being pure enough to be classified ...

Manga and Music?
Hey everyone! I recently got into manga, and I'm liking it so much it's almost starting to bump out my anime-watching time as of late. I was wondering if I was the only one who does this, but does anyone else here play music consistently when reading manga? For some reason, it's a lot easier to focus when I have music playing than when I stare blankly at white pages or a computer screen in dead silence. But then again, I tend to pick music that matches the story.
For me, I play the Noir soundtrack when I read Kenshin (it goes along strangely well), Rage Against the Machine (Battle of Los Angeles) when I read Bleach, and Weezer (Blue and Green Albums) when viewing Ichigo 100%. Anyone else have any fitting tunes to the series they're reading?
i've been known to play music, watch TV, or even play games while reading manga
considering i do almost everything while listening to music, however...
Your not alone, i do that all the time, besides that late night anime thingy, ^_^
Manga is great like this one, i just got this last sunday, meaning Aug 8th
This is the Japanese cover, but its pratically the same, no worries ne?
ussually i don't. the hum of my computer fan is really all the white noise i want. but when i do listen to music while reading, it is ussually something classical. i hate reading something and then suddenly the words of the song start coming through. the only exception is Mindless Self Indulgence, their lyrics ussually don't make alot of sence, mostly egotistical trash talk and random bullshit lies. That band kicks ass, ^_^
Of course I do mate... Some examples:
Berserk, Naruto, Angel Sanctuary, Devil & Devil, Video Girl Ai: System of a down :)
One piece: Naruto OST
I''s: Lost Prophets
Gantz: Anything with fast rythm!
and lots more of course....
I wouldn't say never but music disturbs my concentration. Anime OSTs and BGMs are good if music is needed.
I don't listen to music while reading manga, but I used to do it while reading books. Then I discovered that the music somehow got "matched" with the particular book in a semi-Pavlovian response, which hindered my future enjoyment of the book. For example, I just can't enjoy The Silmarillion any more unless I'm playing some Stevie Wonder, and what would the Lymond Chronicles be without Isaac Hayes? So nowadays I just focus on one thing at a time.
it depends. hxh, berserk,gantz, blame etc go well with music, some others like 20th cb don't

- Who We Are
Karen Downer
Administrative Assistant
Session Instructor
Gresham, OR
I first heard about the ranch when Kim came to share the ministry with our home church in Gresham, Oregon. I was powerfully impacted by the testimonies of God using horses to connect with youth in unique ways. As tears flooded my eyes, I realized that my first horse—a gift from my Great-Uncle—was just what I'd needed to give me a purpose, a dream and a hope to survive my teen years, before I met Jesus. In my early twenties, I came to know the Lord and eventually served in various ministries within our church. Those times of serving were very rewarding, but as our pastor encouraged us to really seek the Lord for our calling in ministry, I realized He was opening my heart to seek a ministry with youth and horses. So, my family and I purposed to connect with Crystal Peaks to learn more about their ministry.
In 2005, we attended our first Annual Hoe Down, which deeply touched our whole family. We were so blessed by the joy and friendliness of the staff and those who attended. The love of Jesus was clearly present at the ranch. We played crazy games, danced and had a wonderful BBQ dinner. Then Troy and the team led worship and teaching from the Word as we sat in the grass on a warm summer evening, staring at the beautiful view of the Three Sisters Mountains. It just couldn't get much better for me. As a result, we've returned each year for the Hoe Down, an event we wouldn't want to miss.
Then in 2007, I attended my first Information Clinic, with the encouragement of my wonderful husband. When I returned home, my husband noticed a difference in me. I was filled with life, excited about the future, and dreaming and praying about starting a similar ministry. Over the course of several years of praying about this, we began to hear the Lord calling us to move to Central Oregon. Our heart was to support the ranch in the way the Lord led us.
Finally, the doors opened for us to move to Bend in 2011. I initially worked at Crystal Peaks as a Full-Time Volunteer in 2012 and 2013. Those two years were amazing years of serving the Lord in this ministry. I've been so blessed and impacted by relationships with the staff, youth and families who come to the ranch. At the end of my day, I may be exhausted by the day's activities, but I leave filled with joy because of the special way the Lord works in each of the children's lives.
In 2014, I was accepted into a position at the ranch supporting the Similar Ministry department. I'm very excited about this role, as I have attended several clinics over the years and each has been so rewarding to prayerfully support. It's a joy to be a part of other people's journeys around the world as they seek to start the ministry the Lord has laid on their hearts.
Who is your favorite horse at the ranch?
For me, it is really hard to pick a favorite horse. God has created them each with unique personalities. It is so fun to show the children in sessions how to nurture trust with our rescued horses. Each one has their own fears and struggles that are very powerful in ministering to children. But I will have to say in all my years of working with horses, Zephyr is one that has a spirit of joy! He is the happiest horse I've ever encountered and he is such a thrill to ride.
What is an interesting facts about you?
As a young girl, I had an opportunity to ride horses with a chimpanzee. It was such a fun, yet unusual experience to look next to you and see a chimp riding his own horse. All I remember was riding with him out in a pasture, and that he had a striped shirt and pair of shorts on. I wish someone would have taken pictures of that day—it would be fun to reminisce and see the expressions on our faces!
What do you love about Central Oregon?
Our family loves outdoor activities such as camping, trail riding, hiking and kayaking. Central Oregon weather is perfect for it all.
Also, since living in Central Oregon, I have seen the most absolutely beautiful sunrises and sunsets, unique cloud formations, and amazing frost formations, called Hoar frost. I've seen it snow when it's sunny, due to distant snow clouds. Each day in the High Desert of Central Oregon is a gift from God and His tapestry is breathtaking.

Living History Hundreds flock to Fischer for 'New Life in Old Fischer' By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer On a normal day you'd probably driva by without slowing down. But people who knew w here to finds good time flocked toFWeher to spend last Saturday in the good old days. Fischer and the LBJ Heartland Network opened the Fischer Store and Post Office, Fischer Hall, and the Fischer Bowling Chib to all comers for "New Life In Old Fischer." Visitors pulled up chairs with long-time area residents to hear how life used to be at the Fischer Store. "The Fischer Store was established in 1875," said Postmaster Krin Byrd. "The post office was 93 years in this building." The Fischer Store served as post office, general store, and hub of the town for many years. "The mail route was pretty much the same," Byrd said, 'it comes horn Austin instead of San Marcos, but essentially it's the same." One retired postmaster used to ask the mail earner, "How many goats did you pull out of the fence today?" Her answer might be, "Only three, but I killed five rattlesnakes." The Fischer Post Office will soot move to a new building next store to the old Fischer Store. Residents hope to preserve the store's building and history. Afternoon guests saw area history in song and drama in Fischer ygll with ^ob Capoahr gi, die Cultural Warriors, and 'The Long Thanksgiving Dinner'* by the Gateway Players. The adventurous could try their hands at a few frames of free nine pin bowling at the Fischer Bowling Club. "It's amazing how hard it is if you've nev er bowled nine pin,'' said instructor Jo Schwab. 'It's a team game," she said. Players on the same team take turns trying to knock down the same set of pins. 'This is one game where you depend on your friends," said Bill Schmidt. "It tests the love between a man and his wife." The pins aren't set up by machine, but by young people at the ends of the lanes dodging the balls and pins. "I used to set up pins here when I was a kid — long time ago," Schmidt said. "The premium was on speed and the pins would go flying all over the place." The bowling club still thrives, with all four lanes full of league play Monday through Friday, Schwab said. About a hundred sets of feet pounded the floors of Fischer Hall when the sun went down. They danced to music by Barron Schlaroeyg, Oma A the Oompah*. Adolph Hofner & the Pearl Wrangler, and Too Strange for Sisterdale, "We're excited that we're able to give money back to the community to enhance landscaping that ties the new post office to the old store," said Julia Jarrell, LBJ Heartland Council director. The LBJ Heartland Council sees New Life in Old Fischer as a pilot program for similar programs throughout the Hill Country, Jarrell said. The Nature Conservancy recently designated the Hill Country, or Balcones Escarpment, as ow of the 12 "last great places" in the hemisphere because of its natural and cultural beauty. Increasing development from San Antonio and Austin is squeezing the Hill Country from both sides. The LBJ Heartland Council wants to develop long-range conservation programs that can work beside development. Lights, music, Santa — it's all coming to the Plaza tonight The 1995 Sesquicentennial Chnstmas Tree I ighting & Festivities is expected to attract hundreds of people to the Plaza tonight.

The district allows groups to use its buildings free. The new policy would institute a fee schedule that would charge some groups as much as $475 to use facilities, while other groups would still be allowed to use them for free. Debbie Fitsko, administrative assistant for community, v ocational, and adult education, told the board of trustees at Tuesday's meeting that church groups, athletic leagues, community businesses and a number of individuals continually ask to use NB1SD facilities. NB1SD does not charge a fee for the use of its facilities, w hile other entities, including the Comal Independent School District, do charge. Fitsko said costs incurred when school buildings are used by outside groups include utilities, custodians, paper products used in restrooms, and other related costs. NBISD Superintendent Charles Bradberry said another problem is that everyone expects the buildings to be clean on Monday morning, which is understandable. Howeyer he said this is hard when no one is scheduled to work ov er the weekend He said the cost for one event may not be a lot. but it adds up. "That's a lot of money the district ends up absorbing," said Bradberry. Ken McGuire, principal at New Braunfels Middle School, said he is constantly receiving requests for permission to use facilities. He said there are often several events going on at one time, and deciding who can use the facilities can be difficult. "It has nothing to do with us not w anting to serve the public with our public schools," said McGuire. A few audience members addressed the board concerning the fee. They were concerned that the fee may be too high, or cause certain activ ities to no longer be held. Fitsko said that according to the policy, there are several groups that will not be charged for the use of facilities. These groups include school groups or organizations, school support organizations, such as PT A, Band Boosters, and law enforcement groups, and student-onented groups such as Scouts and 4-H. Civic groups would get a break. Bradberry said there may be w ays for the school to sponsor meetings and events, which means the fee could be waived. The fee will be based on the facility, how long it is needed, and w hat type of equipment and services are used. An example is a profit-making event could be held in the elementary gym at a cost of $275 per four-hour penod. A certificate of insurance w ill also be required. Fitsko said the proposed fee scale is consistent w ith other facilities in the district, including CISD. "It's been real hard to determine who should be charged a fee, and how much," she said. "We're not vying for people to use our facilities, but we don't want to be running people oft either. We w ant it to be in line w ith others in the area." Fitsko said input is still being sought, and the attorneys are currently looking it over. It will be brought before the board at a later date for approval. NBU mulls where cash for projects will come from -rn—— ' * -~t By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer To raise rates or to issue bonds or a little of both —- that was the question the city council and New Braunfels Utilities management pondered at last night's workshop. NBU officials showed council members proposed five-year plans for utility improvements and how to fund them. It was all long-range talk and no action, but one thing both city council members and NBU officials agreed on was that money would have to come from somewhere to fund the proposed projects. "The new environment in utilities is competition," said Paula DiFonzo, NBIJ, genera I manager. "We're going to have to look at water and sewer rates." NBU loses money on water and sewer as a rule, with the electric service in effect subsidizing the other two. The main five-year plan NBU presented showed no rate increases, but did include a five million dollar bond issue in 1996. If NBU asks for a bond issue, the city council would have to approve it. "If things proceed unchanged, we will be in the red by the year 1999/2000," said JefTThompson, NBU assistant general manager for administration and finance. NBU will be getting even less revenues from water in the future. Thompson said. "We lost our two largest water customers, Green Valley and Spnng Hill. They're now in the water supply business." Reimbursements from the Edwards Underground Water District will end in Feb. 1997 — that will cause NBU's water costs to go up. NBU showed the city council a second "what if' five-year plan that uses increases in water and sewer rates instead of a bond issue to raise needed revenues. The hypothetical plan included five percent increases in water and sewer rates each year for five years. Councilman Ray Schoch wanted to increase water and sewer rates starting this fiscal year. "I see no reason to subsidize water and sewer any longer than we have to," he said.

I often get hit with "Microsoft only copies the stuff that other people have already invented". Well – I think there are clear examples of our being second (or third or fourth or…) to market – but I also think we do some great original stuff out of our research centers and within the product groups. I think many of us will have seen Photosynth before – but check out this great video, the best I have seen on our work in this area:
Now tell me we don't do amazing technology… Actually I find it is very dangerous to throw out such challenges on the Internet – but I will anyway 🙂
Oh – and Microsoft Surface isn't too shoddy either 🙂
EDIT – in response to comments along the lines of "nah – you just bought it". Well – I have no direct contacts in this team – but I'm pretty sure that we didn't just rush out, buy and rebadge. From my skimming it looks very much like it started out as a collaborative piece of work from Microsoft Research and the University of Washington, subsequently mixed with a spot of Sea Dragon which I believe is the acquisition people associate with Photosynth. Check out http://research.microsoft.com/IVM/PhotoTours/ for some background.

Two types ofPropionibacterium avidum with different isomers of diaminopimelic acid

Of 38 strains ofPropionibacterium avidum, most fell into one of two groups. One group (20 strains) hadLl-diaminopimelic acid as the diaminoacid of peptidoglycan, did not ferment inositol, and reacted with serum to strain VPI 0576; the other group (11 strains) hadDl-diaminopimelic acid as the peptidoglycan diaminoacid, fermented inositol, and reacted with serum to strain VPI 0670. DNA sequence similarity studies showed that, while overall intergroup similarity was about 80%, within each group the sequence similarities were over 90%. Seven strains were anomalous and did not fit exactly into either group.
The results show that the isomer of diaminopimelic acid in peptidoglycan may differ in strains of a single species all of which show at least 80% DNA sequence similarity to each other.

Lake County invites gun, ammo makers
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - Lake County wants to become a hub for gun and ammunition makers.
Officials said gun makers that aren't feeling welcome in other states can relocate to the Christopher Ford Industrial Park on the Florida Turnpike and U.S. 27.
The county has reached out to about 60 weapons manufacturers around the country and responses are coming in.
Lake County leaders said gun makers can move into the empty warehouse space.
Hundreds of job hunters visited a job fair in Clermont on Thursday and even though Lake County's unemployment rate has fallen to 6.9 percent, times are still tough.
"I've been looking for a job for a while now, and I'm glad I was finally able to come to one of these -- to hopefully find one. But yes, it's still rough. I believe it's rough everywhere in Florida," said Caleb Brown, job hunter.
The idea was Lake County Commissioner Leslie Campione's idea, and the commission said five manufacturers have asked for more information.
"By far -- the majority -- if fact, the super majority, would be in favor of having that type of an employer," Campione said.
Campione said Lake is a "gun-friendly county" with political and public support.
"We know there are companies in other states that are not feeling very welcome anymore. So, in those cases maybe they would pick up and bring the whole company to Florida or Lake County," Campione said.
At the job fair, Brown said he doesn't think anyone who happens to be anti-gun would turn down a job if they really needed one.
"I don't think so. I think if they can have a job to support their family, they'd do it. I don't think they'd have a problem with it," Brown said.

First Review by Blueberries
Delicious vegetarian food with whole foods ingredients. No fake meats or processed junk - natural and delicious.
We had the set menu - 11 euros
Very nice for lunch and centrally placed
Not the most obvious place from outside (we walked past it), but worth finding out for lunch or a light meal when in Madrid.
For the very reasonable price of €11 you get three courses, bread and a drink. The host was very welcoming and had reasonable English. There was a limited choice (the menu changed daily) and nothing to indicate what was vegan when we visited, but it was happily pointed out what was suitable or could be made suitable when I asked. I had a simple Miso tofu soup followed by a delicious filo pastry filled with curried vegetables (rather like a big samsosa). My partner who is veggie had a fresh green salad with tomatoes then spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes and veggie parmesan. Choice of drink included soft drinks, beer or wine.
Sadly the desserts weren't vegan on our visit and I had to make do with some fresh fruit. This would have been good if it had been a mix but I was given the choice of one from two or three different fruits and ended up with some banana chopped up in a bowl...
Overall a relaxed and enjoyable meal in a non touristy taverna and very good value.
Pros: Great value, Nice, simple food, Quiet location
Cons: Limited choice, No vegan dessert
Stumbled upon this gem while wondering in Madrid's centre. Had to wait for 15-20min for a table to free up. Very cordial stuff, several vegan choices on the menu (clearly marked), just one vegan dessert though. Great overall experience, five stars!
Pros: Location, Stuff, Food
Cons: One one vegan dessert
Elegant ambience, old school jazz, well-prepared food and warm service make for a very pleasant meal.
Despite the small menu, there are several vegan options for meals (clearly marked). There's only one vegan dessert (strudel with tofu cream), but fortunately it's done very well.
Pros: Elegant, vegan-friendly
Cons: only one vegan dessert
Vegetarian with vegan options writen in a big blackboard up the wall. Good price (11 euros)daily menu. Traditional food.
Pros: Cheap
Food clean, tasty, & nicely presented by gentle helpful staff. Situated in a handsome area there are tables outside. It's not cheap, neither is it particularly expensive. I definitely recommend it.
Pros: healthy , helpful, handsome
Cons: no cons really , i guess, not cheap, nothing else
Found this by accident whilst exploring the lanes around the Opera House and went back later to eat.
Its small, about 20 covers I'd guess, nicely decorated and presented in a rusticly finished room which give a nice ambience.
We found the staff helpful - the chef came to explain the recipes - and the food was absolutely delicious. The menu is short, which I like in a small restaurant as it indicates the food is freshly prepared, na d the choice is interesting.
Good choice of wines and beers, and herb teas as well as good coffee.
Overall highly recommended. Not cheap, but excellent value.
Pros: Good for vegans, Interesting menu
Cons: Small - might need to book
As a mixed group of a vegan, vegetarian and omnivore, we were looking for something that would cater to all of our tastes. The restaurant is completely vegetarian with a rather small menu of only about six starters and six mains, about half of which were vegan. There was a huge selection of teas, wines and beers. The staff were extremely rude, as well as which we had to wait to be served when the restaurant was practically empty, but the food arrived quickly. We ordered the guacamole, pita bread with tomato hummus, and gyoza stuffed with tofu with a citrus, sesame and soy sauce, with decent portion sizes. The food was absolutely lovely and nicely-presented. The restaurant filed out later in the evening without being completely full or overly-packed. The deserts were absolutely amazing. We ordered the chocolate tart and apple strudel with soya cream (the only vegan desert despite there being sesame ice cream on the menu). Prices were middling and quite reasonable for the great quality of the food.
Pros: Lovely food, Good location, Vegan-friendly
Cons: Very rude staff, Small menu selection, Only one vegan desert

Other elite juniors vying to be first-round picks in the 2015 NHL entry draft have been able to flash their skills in high-profile international age-group tournaments. It might have been the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge last season. It might have been the Ivan Hlinka under-18 tournament in August. For the top European teams and the U.S. development team, there's the U-18 Five Nations tournament in the Czech Republic in February. Then there's the main pool of the IIHF world under-18s that will be played in Switzerland in April.
Daniel Sprong of the Charlottetown Islanders will be the only one who won't have skated in any of them. It's not that he's a right-winger without a country, just that the country of his birth doesn't send a team to any of those tournaments.
The Netherlands will be sending a team to the IIHF's under-18 Div. II, Group A to compete against the likes of Croatia, South Korea, Great Britain and tournament host Estonia this spring. Sprong, 17, would even be a candidate to play for the Dutch against those clubs in Div. I, Group B of the men's worlds in Eindhoven. But that's not going to happen.
It's a touchy subject for Sprong, whose family moved from Amsterdam to Montreal 10 years ago. He doesn't want to seem any less proud of his heritage, but it's clear he has no intention of suiting up for the Dutch in any of these tournaments. If he did play for Holland, it would jeopardize his eligibility to play for his adopted homeland. "I have an application in for [Canadian citizenship] but I have no idea where that's standing right now," he says. "That's with my lawyer and agent, and I try not to focus on that." Sprong hasn't needed to play in any international tournaments to establish his place in this draft class. His rookie season with the Islanders was more than enough to make him a player of interest for NHL scouts: 30 goals and 38 assists in 67 regular season games. He even raised his game in the playoffs—though the Islanders were swept by defending Memorial Cup champion Halifax, Sprong picked up four goals.
Because Sprong meets the residency requirement and played his youth hockey on this side of the Atlantic, he doesn't count as an import with the Islanders. Still, his birthplace is a key part of his story. The reason his parents crossed the Atlantic was so he could pursue a hockey career. He had run out of challenges in youth hockey in Amsterdam. That in itself wouldn't be surprising considering that the Ice Hockey Federation of the Netherlands lists only 1,194 boys playing in age-group leagues, from tykes through juniors. What was surprising was the timing of the Sprongs' decision: Daniel was only seven years old when the family moved.
Click here for ticket information on the Subway SuperSeries
A career move for a second-grader: That would seem a thin branch for a family to crawl out on, but the Sprongs were a hockey family when Daniel was in diapers. "My father [Hanni Sprong] had been with the national team as a player," Daniel says. "Before we came over, he managed a hockey team in Holland. I would go to the rink with my father and I just fell in love with the game when I was little. He worked with me on my skills, but [youth hockey] in Amsterdam wasn't very good. Our family's friends would say that if I was going to become a player I'd have to go to Canada."
The Sprongs settled in Île Bizard, a suburb of Montreal, and Daniel played in the Deux Rives program up to age 14. Midway through his bantam season, he joined the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights, a travelling team in Pennsylvania, a move that caused some hard feelings with the Deux Rives coaches and players, but also a move that Hanni Sprong thought was best for his son's development. There's no arguing with the results.
The next season, Daniel skated with Lac St-Louis in the Midget Espoir league and racked up 48 goals and 104 points in just 30 games. (Because he isn't a Canadian citizen, he wasn't eligible to play Midget AAA in Quebec.) Charlottetown wound up selecting him 13th overall in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft.
Sprong's favourite NHL player is Patrick Kane and he models his game after the Blackhawks' all-star right winger. Kane's name also comes up when NHL scouts look for talents comparable to Sprong's.
"His strengths—skating and finishing—are the same strengths in Kane's game," one NHL scouting director says. "His puck skills probably aren't where Kane's were at 18, but whose are? Sprong might project to be a faster skater at the next level. His game is still growing. He's physically stronger than he was last year and he'll have to be. He's going to command a lot more attention from other teams and they'll try to lean on him."
Over the summer, Sprong trained with Andy O'Brien in Toronto and skated with a few of the strength coach's A-list clients. "I was pretty nervous the first time I got on the ice with Jason Spezza and John Tavares," Sprong says. "But they were great to me and pretty soon I just settled in and fit in. I've stayed in touch with some of them. Just the other day, John Tavares texted me to see how I was doing. Sometimes I stop and wonder, 'Is this real?'"
Most elite prospects are loath to admit that the stakes in their draft years weigh heavily in their minds, but Sprong is open about the pressure he was feeling at the start of the season. "I struggled the first few weeks, trying to do too much," he says. "I was pressing because I knew this was a big year for me. Then I just started to relax and things picked up again. I can feel the difference the work with Andy this summer has made. With the added core strength, I think I'm faster and stronger on the puck."
He's definitely filling out: As a bantam, he stood five-foot-nine and weighed 140 lb., but now his 189 lb. stretch over almost six feet. Says one NHL scout: "He's a skill and speed player, but his game is heavier this season. Physically, he'll be able to stand up to contact at the NHL level—maybe not straight out of the draft but in a season or two after that."
And in a season or two, Sprong's citizenship should be in place and he'll be on Hockey Canada's radar. "It would be great to put on the Canadian sweater someday," he says.

Sent in by Lonewolf — Global Research has a detailed article on the 2009 drought and crop harvests, which is already causing a precipitous decline in food production, as much as 20% – 40%.
This is catastrophic, and will result in millions of deaths around the world. Drought has now become so severe in so many places around the world that water supplies are now critical.
Catastrophic Fall in 2009 Global Food Production
Market Skeptics has a entire page full of videos showing the severity of the drought conditions is parts of the world.
10 Responses to "Catastrophic Fall in 2009 Global Food Production"
National Geographic had a good article on the Australian drought in April:
Saw this article too. Very disturbing. Price of food will be skyrocketing. Right now we've had a deluge of rain (northeast KS). Just checked my blueberry plants (first year planting). One of my Dukes has brown leaves on it. My search on the web suggests it may be suffering from overwater. Nothing I can do about the rain though – we had 3.5 inches this week alone.
"The world is heading for a drop in agricultural production [read: 'drop' in population] of 20 to 40 percent [in 2009], depending on the severity and length of the current global droughts."
Interestingly (to me), this 'report' doesn't mention a 100-yr drought in the northern and western Canadian grainbelt (as asserted by some locals). It's not especially dry here in Montana – yet (albeit we remain is a "historic drought" and, strangely, Montana Wheat Inc. (major 'operator') hasn't even started planting yet (TMK, and I can see many of their huge fields from my perch on top of my world.)
The FKN sheeple will not bleat for long, after being interrupted from their mindless grazing on delusionary distraction, before the exquisitely-moronic (hence infinitely dangerous) herd stampedes.
Get ready to rumble (in the belly as it shall be elsewhere)
"A billion to go hungry with food prices back on rise"
And a few billion more will 'think' that they are starving – and they will react accordingly (which is not to say appropriately or effectively)
Looks like they also didn't mention that GMO crops are failing world-wide as well.
On top of this, for awhile now, some countries (i.e. Saudi Arabia, China) that have exceeded their capacity to grow for themselves are buying farmland in foreign countries (mostly Africa AFAIK), growing their food abroad, and shipping it back home. This may be an issue of water more than anything else… as agricultural exports constitute a massive effective export of water.
Land ownership is not that clear in these areas and I expect there is considerable advantage being taken. It will be interesting to see the local reaction to these types of things if things get serious.
I saw several videos yesterday on monoculture tree plantations. These appear to be having an absolutely devastating effect upon the water supplies. They are "green deserts" where nothing else lives, and have destroyed region after region. You can check these out here: World Rain Forest Videos
admin, that is a perfect example of why it's not OK to cut down existing forests and then replace them with "tree planting campaigns". "Plant a tree" doesn't restore the ecosystem of the forest that was cut down, nor does it help rebuild one in a decimated forest. It's good for guilt-assuaging, though.
I agree. The more I absorb about our activity, the more convinced I am becoming that we will utterly and totally fail to save ourselves. I'm not even sure anymore if collapse will save us, as we will go right back to doing what we're doing now (if we can).
A 2007 issue of National Geographic I was reading showed the unbelievable pace of development in China. It's breathtakingly scary.
Nothing "we" do is going to make any difference now. All those people who try, large or small, big or little, it's not enough, not even close.
The same issue showed the Big Thaw taking place all over the world, as the planet heats up very rapidly, decimating ice packs, glaciers and water supplies all over the world.
Die off will help, but peak energy, peak oil and the collapse of civilization cannot happen soon enough.
What still 'amazes' me is that we are so stupid to do all this in the first place. The almighty dollar (or yuan) and the love of money is absolutely destroying the world. It's so unbelievably stupid and wasteful. The destruction caused by human greed is truly appalling.
Speaking of development in China, good friends of ours lived there for 2 years not that long ago. They lived in Schenzhen (sp) and said you could drive for miles and see nothing but 50-story apartment buildings, all occupied, where nothing but raw land had been not that long ago.
They also said they rarely saw butterflies or birds.

Used to be, my mind whispered. Shut up, I ordered. I am going to be fine, but the gigantic rampaging elephants in my stomach said otherwise.
We had been walking together, a whole group of us, thinking we were safe. Of course, it's the innocent girls in the horror movies that always get taken away, always the girls who think that they're fine, that they are just complacent within the world. The books never taken off the bookshelf, the ones that blend in, the ones that have been read over and over yet never dropped and then a hiatus. Then, garbage.
It seems like the ones who do the dropping are never as they appear, in novels, television. We were held captive by two men, young men, handsome too, a future ahead of them, involving this? I couldn't think. I stood there and blinked.
They held up guns to Bernie's head, the most fragile out of us. We had our screams choked with fear, one emotion replacing the other, like a babushka doll, each growing larger to swallow the other up. I could see her trembling and looked in his eyes. He has glacier eyes, turning his brown irises black. I didn't want her limp birdlike carcass on my conscience. We allowed the cold shackles on our wrists, on our ankles. None of us fought. There was nothing we could fight.

what is the difference between binary fission and budding?
Hope this answers ur query
hope its clear. and yes --> please!
budding is formed by producing a bud and then detching 4rm d parent cell whereas fission is d division of an adult cell to @ daughter cells
budding : the new organism is formed from the parent cell
fission : the parent cell is separated to form to new organisms
name unicellular organisms
in both of them,the organism divides to form a new individual.but binary can take place only in unicellulars,and budding in multicellulars
in binary fiision identity of the parent organism is lost whereas in budding identity of parent organism is maintained

22 May 1926, Budapest, Hungary, d. 1994, Chicago, Illinois, USA. After studying violin Bacsik took up the guitar, although he frequently returned to his first instrument in later years. Bacsiks early repertoire included gypsy music alongside classical music, but his switch to guitar coincided with a growing interest in jazz, a trend befitting a man who was believed to be distantly related to Django Reinhardt. During the 40s and 50s he was active mostly in eastern Europe but at the end of the 50s he journeyed to France, becoming resident for a time in Paris. Here he met and played with visiting American jazzmen. In the mid-60s he moved again, this time to the USA, where he worked in jazz and also became known for his dazzling violin-playing in resort hotels and casinos. He also worked with country music fiddlers, happily adapting to a rich variety of venues, audiences and accompanists, and continued his multi-faceted career throughout subsequent decades. Like...

This blog was originally posted on FitPro 9/4/11 see it here: http://bit.ly/1Fc49qj
As a competitive athlete for more than 35 years, I train everyday with a balanced body/mind philosophy. With heart disease levels at an all time high, taking unneeded stress levels off the heart is a good place to start for any athlete or fitness enthusiast. I believe in training the respiratory system first, which allows the heart to operate at lower rates during body movement. In addition, it lowers brainwave frequencies allowing more cognitive flow states rather than enabling the part of the mind that tries to thwart our exercise goals. No headphones, cell phones or TVs. The mind must be part of the transformation process. If it's distracted, it can't hear the body's intelligence. Our minds are already crowded with information. Exercise was designed to free the mind.
Key components of sports training and racing include proper warm-ups and cool-downs, and to add greater benefit, incorporating cross-patterning yoga movement to improve flexibility, balance and posture alignment. In my performance training programs I don't include any sun salutation movement. Only cross pattering movements to enhance the mind's ability to see the body clearly and balance male and female energy.
- A warm-up routine should be focused on connecting and calming the fragmenting mind to enter the body. Using yoga breathing, we activate the respiratory system to raise heat in the core of the body (liquid fire) and flood the cardiovascular system with oxygen. It doesn't matter whether the warm up is cardio, light weights, stretching, meditation or a combination of all four. What's important is how you use the breath to contract the muscles controlling the inhale (the diaphragm, intercostals and pectoral muscles) and controlling the exhale muscles of the abdomen. Athletes should use long, deep, rich nasal breaths contracting the epiglottis muscle in the throat slightly. This warm-up brings you present, introverting your mind and the five senses. It removes external distractions as this is no time to escape. It's a time to introvert, listen and be present with your body using our emotions as fuel.
- Mindful conscious movement is essential to optimal performance. Yogis were always concerned with placement and balancing the angles of the body parts that are in motion. It reduces the risk of injury from overused muscles and allows the body to move effortlessly. Flexibility doesn't just make the body stronger; it makes the mind stronger by removing artificial fears. Be mindful of hand/foot placement and the angle of the pelvic bowl. Pause and connect the mind with the body through a nasal inhale and notice the placement of your feet with your movement. The closer the foot placement, the more stress on the quadriceps and hamstrings. The further the feet move away from each other, the more you engage adductors and rotators. Always lift the bottom of the arch of the foot up away from the ground to engage skeletal muscles first and superficial muscular layers second. Adjust the alignment of your pelvic bowl to support your buttock muscles and low back so you're supported throughout the movement with appropriate angles. Your joints and knees will appreciate the added attention to detail.
- The cool down is the most important part of the workout. It's really the warm-up for the next time you train or exercise. No matter what you're doing, begin to slow the movement and slow your breath with nasal breathing. This may feel hard to do with an elevated heart rate, but you will be amazed how quickly the heart rate comes down through the slowed nasal breathing process. Notice where your body feels stressed from the movement. Begin using your mind to relax these areas of your body. Relax your low jaw and feel how your breath lengthens and stress levels lessen. Relax around your eyes and feel cerebral fluids and inflammation around the brain dissolve. Take your time. Relax and enjoy what your body/mind just achieved outside of the paradigm of a "good or bad" workout. Don't ever judge your self-esteem from one workout. This is self-sabotaging and creates a habitual pattern of discontent.
The "no pain, no gain" theory is outdated. It's impossible to create a body/mind connection when pushing your body where it's not prepared to go. However, when we create a union of trust between the two, you will be amazed at what the body will do for you. In the union, are flow states that allow the body to move effortlessly ... meditation in motion.

Hello~. I really like these series of drabbles you have going on here. I like the fact that they refer to the current plot and I haven't seen any fanfics relating to Team Unicorn specifically, so that's cool. That and implied Retributionshipping FTW!
The intro drabble is interesting and definitely an attention getter though I do prefer the ones that follow it. I like how the second drabble kinda contracts the previous one. Team Unicorn in the first drabble are so confident and sure about the lack of team work that Team 5Ds has and they are right to an extent. Jack hauling his D-wheel, Aki summoning Stardust, and Yusei catching Team Unicorn (specifically Jean himself) off guard prove that Team 5Ds can be a team when they want to be and that they are indeed halfway there.
I loved the one where Breo compares himself to Jack. Mainly because I was thinking the same thing when I watched the episode. Both of them had been the top dog so to speak and you're right, they did lose to Jean/Yusei who are the current leaders of both teams. I also liked how different both Jack and Breo are. While Jack does respect Yusei, he doesn't worship him quite like Breo does to Jean. And the Jessica bit was pure genius. I'm sure Jack does have a few Jessicas in his fanbase, but I'm glad Carly isn't one of them. I loved Breo's statement on how he was almost disappointed that Jack wasn't just like him in that regard. And Retributionshipping implications! _
I also adored Andore's bit. It does seem like him to completely analyze his opponents, so him watching Aki's duel with Yusei makes complete sense. You even included the fact that Andore has the habit of sympathizing with his opponents. Him feeling sorry for her about how she use to be is very tangible and doesn't feel forced at all. Of course, I also liked Andore's resolve even if he does sympathize with Aki, he's not going to let his team down.
I thought you had Jean spot on actually. Every time he's shown, he's looking down on Team 5Ds for not being a team. I could see him hating them, especially Yusei. Yusei with his title as King, Shooting Star, being a card playing genius like Andore. And Jean has scoffed at Jack by calling him former King. Him mocking Jack for his fallen glory, his loss of title, and his pride is quite true to Jean's character. I can also see Jean feeling scorn at Aki for pre-duel jitters since she is a beginner and new to Riding Duels, let alone knowing how to be a part of a team all together. Then, you have Jean's team that everything they have done to this point from setting up Team 5Ds (and specifically Jack) before their duel, using the overboost, Andore defeating Jack and Aki and knocking Yusei down to half his LP to Breo cutting Yusei down to five cards to Jean now taking on Yusei has been for Team Unicorn. No one in that team is out for themselves and each one has no problem sacrificing their pride. It's why no one before this duel had seen Breo nor Jean duel. It's why Andore kamikazed against Yusei. It's why Breo didn't outright defeat Yusei. Team 5Ds reminding Jean what Team Unicorn use to be in the beginning and before they got their act together is completely understandable.
Overall, I thought this fic was great. I have become rather fond of Team Unicorn with all their back story and team mentality. This fic sums up what I like about them as well as the hope of what Team 5Ds could eventually become. I thought it was incredibly well written. I enjoyed it immensely. Keep up the fantastic work!~

A LITTLE ABOUT MEDo something worth remembering -Elvis Presley
Hey everyone! Born and raised right here in the south, northeast corner of Mississippi. I work in the Tupelo, MS office. Fun fact: Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis Presley. I married my husband in 2002 and we have 2 children together plus I have 3 bonus kids. I also have a cosmetology license. Love spending time with family!
Outside of work, I spend most of my time running the kids somewhere - everywhere, lol, who am I kidding! We like to go watch my husband's band play (he is in several and will play any genre he can learn). Family time is very important. And we love to travel!! (And I love to help you travel and explore new places while working a little in between) My kids like to find the "brown signs". Because that means we can stop and explore.
The inside culture that Medical Solutions provides is phenomenal! Having such a great work environment over flows to you, the nurses, that allows us to provide such great customer service. "Service that Inspires"
MAKE SURE YOU VIEW THE VIDEO UPLOADED WITH MY PICS. Hope you enjoy!! (My office team in Tupelo did a remake of Thriller for Halloween 2016)

Chapter EighteenMature
Six or seven hours later I was lying
in bed, trying to sleep, though extreme pain was ravaging me, and my stitches
felt horrible. We'd been to hospital and after trying to explain my case, I was
being referred to a special psychologist.
Mom had almost cried, begging me to
tell the truth even though I was. I had cried, from the pain and from the
humiliation of never being believed about the angels. My appointments with the
psychologist that my parents had booked was cancelled, and I was booked into
this new one, I'd be starting sessions next week.
I planned to show them the photos
tomorrow, as in the panic and searing pain, I'd forgotten about them.
I was given the following day off
school, because of my injuries. I began preparing my photographs to show to mom
and dad. I wasn't going to let go of this, they had to believe me.
A week later, I was sitting in an
office that had been made to look a lot more cheerful than it really was. There
was something artificial about all the posters on the walls and the bright
colours. There was something artificial about the psychologist as well. I
didn't like it at all.
"Hello Sara."
She said in that patronising tone you
use when you doubt somebody's intelligence.
I muttered stiffly, head down so that
my red-brown hair fell forward like a curtain, protecting me.
"Now Sara, your parents tell me that
you've been seeing angels in the attic. Can you describe these angels to me."
I obliged, describing every detail to
the best of my ability, from their horrendous wings to their steel-like claws.
The counsellor listened, with an
almost amused expression playing on her face.
She clearly didn't believe a word
that I was saying.
"You don't believe me."
I said, in what I hoped was a
don't-care-less voice, but what sounded more like desperation.
"I never said that, Sara."
"You implied it."
I shot back in my best educated tone.
She looked surprised that I knew what
implied meant.
The counsellor found a piece of paper
and a pencil out of a drawer in the desk.
"Can you draw what these angels look
She asked.
I replied with a shrug. I'm pretty
good at drawing.
I drew the angels, taking time on the
detail. The finished result was quite good.
"You're very good at drawing. Your
parents say that you are creative, you like writing and photography as well."
I nodded.
"Do you think that you've become a
little bit confused over what's real and what's not?"
She asked, still in the same
annoying, patronising voice.
"No. I know what's real, and that's
the angels. How else do you think I got injured so badly?"
I asked, showing her the stitches on
my left arm.
"Were you hurting yourself to make
people believe you?"
I just stared at her in shock.
"Nobody is going to be mad at you,
"No, nobody's going to get mad at me
because I didn't give myself these injuries!"
I raised my voice as I said that.
"Calm down Sara."
Nothing seemed to annoy that damn
counsellor. She was so damn patient that it annoyed me.
"No, I won't calm down! Ever since I
discovered those angels all I've got is "Sara, you don't know what's real and
what's not." Or "Sara, we don't believe you." Why can't you just trust that
what I'm saying is real!?"
I shouted. I was getting majorly
pissed off. And it takes a lot to drive me to the point of being severely
"Do you have any proof that the
angels are real?"
The counsellor asked.
I was like a banshee as I shrieked at
that highly irritating counsellor. I was sick of being treated like a cross
between a liar and a mental patient.
"Well. I think we should end today's
session. We might make more progress tomorrow."
She sighed, letting me out of the
office that I'd been incarcerated in for the last two hours.
