" Stresemannstraße 374, 22761 Hamburg, Tel.: 040 89963100 "
When someone suggests a restaurant it's always a good idea to find out why they chose it before you make ANY comment about the place. I live in fear that I'll burst out laughing and launch into a witty but rather cutting assassination of a restaurant only to discover that the place is A - owned by an uncle/sister/close friend of my host or hostess; B - the place they held the wake for her father/grandmother/favourite Labrador; C - the host/hostess's absolutely favourite restaurant in the whole-wide-world.
So I was pleased that my slightly snide asides about the décor were not made to Annette - the colleague who kindly invited 3 of us to go for dinner when I was last in Hamburg. We later learned that Graceland was the venue for her wedding dinner so it's a very good job I kept my fat mouth shut and good thing the food was excellent so I was able to be very effusive about that.
Our party consisted of Annette from the Hamburg office, myself and Alison from the Manchester office and a chap called Mike who had been teaching us about Project Management all day. It was intended to be a girly night out but we didn't have the heart to leave the old boy sitting in his room at the hotel so we invited him along.
Firstly you might wonder why there's a restaurant in a hidden corner of Hamburg that's named after the home of the late-great Elvis Presley. Secondly you'll probably be thinking that the deep fried peanut-butter and jelly sandwich MUST be on the menu - but you'd be wrong. It turned out that the owner of the restaurant loves Elvis and all things Southern (in the sense of Southern USA) and has, somewhat amazingly, managed to register the website address www.graceland.de Now I would have expected a lot of corporate lawyers in expensive suits and big hats to have stopped that happening but it's true, he got the address. The food is Caribbean and black-southern US style. Not that nasty Tex-Mex, much more of a Florida-Louisiana-Tennessee type feel (apologies - my US geography is really lousy so if that's a daft description forgive me).
Where is the restaurant? I wish I had a clue. All I can really say is 'half way from our factory to Annette's house' which doesn't help you at all as you don't know either of those places. It's not central - I'm sure of that because there were carpet warehouses and industrial-looking buildings around the area. The website didn't give me a lot of clues either but a bit of googling found me this address - StresemannstraĂźe 374, Hamburg, 22761 as well as the information that it's in the Altona district of the city and the nearest station is HolstenstraĂźe which is served by the trains S11, S21, and S31. So there you go - dead easy.
We arrived by car and if Annette hadn't known what she was doing I don't think any of us could have found the restaurant. It's tucked behind another restaurant and set amidst some small businesses. The car park is tiny and was almost full even though there were few people in the restaurant. It's a 'drive in - back out' car park without the space to turn around.
Annette had told us the restaurant was 'South American' - cue my fears about 'animal on a stick' style dishes. I've been to Brazil and Argentina and I know that a meal's not a meal without half a cow on a plate. If you are lucky, it'll be both dead and cooked. So I was nervous about finding anything to eat because I don't 'do' meat. On arriving and seeing the big alligator sign and the name Graceland outside, I was puzzled. This didn't sound very South American and it turned out that what Annette meant was Southern USA. So one fear out of the way and another quickly replacing it - 'Oh my, we've been brought to Hamburg's answer to TGI Fridays - get me out of here'.
We entered the restaurant, left our coats and took a good look round the room. It looked - forgive me village halls everywhere - like a village hall decked up for a barn dance. There were chequered table-cloths everywhere. The walls were painted an unfortunate shade of terracotta orange - the type that you can never get to cover evenly. My sister had it in her bedroom for a few years and it never looked right. I guess it represented adobe-mud walls but fortunately they had the sense to keep the lighting very low to reduce the impact of the paint although making it hard to read the menu. The ceiling had what I assume must have been a large skylight which had been covered by hand-painted sheets. Actually let me just retract the village hall analogy - this looked a lot like my school assembly hall when we decked it out in parachutes and camouflage netting for the sixth-form dance (some advantages at least for being in an area much populated by the army).
The restaurant was 80% empty - but it was a Tuesday night so that's perhaps understandable. We took our seats and looked at the menus. The waiter - who had one of the strangest haircuts I've seen since the mid-1980s, shaved on the sides and the back and long on the top - took our drinks order and brought us some bread before returning to take the food orders.
The menu is in German but bizarrely the names of the dishes are in English. I've commented before that I'm pretty much 'fluent in food and drink' but lacking in anything else that might be useful (I can do a pretty good impression of a Lufthansa stewardess asking 'anything to eat or drink' in German but I'd struggle to find the railway station). The good news was that there was plenty of fishy stuff to choose from although any proper vegetarian would have been quite restricted for choice. The full menu is available on the website if you really want to know what they've got but there's plenty of choice in meat and fish dishes and not so much for vegetarians.
The restaurant's motto is "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again" and if you are still reading at the end of the review you can test whether you correctly identified the source of that quote. As a hint, it's nothing to do with Elvis but it IS southern. But true enough, you'd need a big appetite to go hungry at Graceland.
For starters I was going to have Key West Shrimp on sugar cane and spicy mango sauce but when the waiter described it, it sounded too much like a Chinese restaurant crab claw and I was put off. So instead I ordered 'Spicy Cuban black bean soup'. Alison took the interestingly-named 'Bermuda mini-triangles with chilli glaze and tropical fruit salsa' and Mike went for the 'Famous Graceland Chixx Stixx'. Annette took a pass on the starters - she'd been before and obviously knew how big the dishes were. To put those dishes into context, the soup was just under Euro5, the chixx stixx (oh dear - too many xxxxx) were Euro7 for half a dozen and the triangles were just Euro5.50 despite being stuffed with prawns.
For main courses we all ordered fish or sea-food. I had the Key Largo crispy shrimp, Alison went for the 'Surfin' Sunshine' Mahi-mahi (I think because she liked the name - I mean Mahi Mahi not Surfin Sunshine - jeez, where do they get these names?) and Mike had the Catfish. Annette - remember, the only one who'd been before and the only one who understood the menu - ordered Jambalaya which meant I was humming The Carpenters song that starts 'Jumbalaya, Crawfish Pie' for most of the eveing.
The dishes ranged from Euro12.60 for the catfish up to around Euro15 for the prawns and mahi mahi. We also ordered a bottle of white wine at a very reasonable Euro15 per bottle, as well as some fizzy water.
When the food arrived we couldn't help but wonder if they'd brought the main courses instead of the starters. Everything was enormous. The black beans in my soup were so crowded together you could almost feel them jostling for a little bit of elbow room. They were tender and spicy and ever-so-ever-so black. Like black kidney beans I suppose. I've not seen such a black dish since I got sick on squid ink pasta in Milan many years ago. On top of the soup was a big dollop of sour cream with some salsa on top - it was delicious. Alison's Bermuda triangles were like little prawn samosas and came with a couple of prawns as well - all this for about ÂŁ4.50! And Mike's chicken skewers were served with peanut sauce and he seemed to think they were pretty fine.
Main courses were also a delight. Key Largo prawns clearly swim in the effluent from a nuclear power station and have mutated to be the size of buffalo - well maybe not quite that big. These were JUMBO prawns in keeping with the 'everything's bigger in America' principle. There were six of these monsters in a very light dusting of batter, still with their heads on but with their shells taken off before cooking. They were sitting on a bed of two different salsas - one a hot spicy tomato and onion and the other a tropical fruit blend that was a touch too sweet but a good counterbalance to the hotness of the other. This was all served with half a coconut shell full of rice. Mike and Alison tucked into their fish and Annette's face fell when she was presented with a dish, decked out with mussel shells. Despite being the only one who could read the menu, she'd totally misjudged the dish and failed to notice it was full of mussels. She hates mussels! And there were so many she couldn't even pick them out. It was such a shame. If it had been me, I'd have called the waiter over and asked for something else instead - even if I had to pay for it. Instead she sat there with a long face, turning down offers to share some of our food whilst we slurped with delight. I felt so sad for her but also relieved that the person who got the bad choice was the one who'd chosen the restaurant and so nobody else had to feel bad for that. She picked at a few bits of chicken but I doubt she ate more than 20% of her dish.
Throughout the meal there was music playing in the background - not actually Elvis himself, but a lot of Elvis-era music. It wasn't too intrusive or too loud and made for a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant remained 80% empty throughout our visit which was a shame because the food was excellent, the prices were great value and it really deserved more diners.
Pudding was out of the question after so much food although we did all take coffees. I'm not sure what the total bill came to as we stitched Alison up to pay for it, but based on the cost of the wine and the individual dishes, I think it was very reasonable and the quality was fantastic for the price. I'd go back again in a flash but maybe I'd learn more of the words to the Jambalaya song before I did - I've been singing them wrongly for 30 years already and sometimes it's a good thing to learn something new.
Remember the quiz earlier? The quote is from Scarlet O'Hara in the film 'Gone with the Wind'.
And the title of the review is of course from 'On the Bayou' by the Carpenters. Irritating annoying song that it is!

The Rickey Smiley Show is a new sitcom on TV One, premiering tonight at 9 p.m. EST. The show is starring actor/comedian/radio personality Rickey Smiley as himself and is "loosely" based on his actual life. The show centers around Rickey's efforts to raise his three children as a single father while balancing his career as a radio personality.
The show also stars J. Anthony Brown, Ray J, Roz Ryan, Lil JJ and Demetria McKinney. The show is being produced by the same producer from Tyler Perry's 'House of Payne' and I think you'll get the same vibe with this show as the 'House of Payne'.
I love to see others win and this is a major win for Rickey Smiley. He's a very humble comedian and I'm looking forward to watching.
Will you be tuning in to The Rickey Smiley Show?

First, hats off to you and your GF for taking on this responsibility. I mean raising this kid.
3 is a little young. I think its not as much of an age thing, but more a maturity thing.
My son is almost 6 and all I'll let him do is sit in my lap and shoot my .223 with me.
He's not quit mature enough to fully understand the basic rules of gun safety.
He understands the rules, but not the consequences of not following them.

text: That depends upon which state you are in and the 01 you are dealing with. I have tried this in Nevada with a CA license and been shut down and I remember my Dad who is a Nevada resident being refused in CA when he was trying to buy a C&R Rusky SKS 10+ years ago. I know you can buy long guns in Utah and Arizona on a Nevada license. So, like I said it depends on the two states you are dealing with and even then if the 01 says no then you are done. I too have an 03 FFL and when I first went to all of my local shops I got 3 or 4 different versions of what that 01 FFL thought I could do with it. Some would let you cash and carry, some would make you wait the 10 days that is the law in this state so God only knows sometimes.

As a truck writer, the first quarter of each year is like a gold mine. Some of the most important trucking shows take place, starting with World of Concrete and ending with the Mid-America Trucking Show. In between are the Technology and Maintenance Council Exhibits and the Work Truck Show.
Here are some new product introductions from these events that should improve concrete producers' operations.
- Hendrickson (www.hendrickson-intl.com) launched a series of steerable lift axles. Their new Compliant Tie Rod and PerfecTrack technology are unique. The steering tie rod is made of spring steel. It bends on impact to absorb shock but pulls straight under tension so both wheels steer properly. The compliance minimizes or eliminates most damage, while PerfecTrack maintains geometry. The tie rod lift axles are available in 10,000-, 13,500- and 20,000-pound capacities.
- Many batteries are replaced when the real problem is in the charging system. Purkey's Fleet Electric (www.purkeysfleetelectric.com) has developed a simple device that identifies state of battery charge (engine-off) or alternator condition (engine-on) just by plugging into a 12-volt power post and reading signal lights. The tool doubles as a keychain so it's always handy.
- It seems as if every up-fitter is making systems for Ford's new Transit Connect, voted (light duty) Truck of the Year at the Detroit Auto Show. The Katerack from Dejana Cargo and Van Interiors is available through Ford dealers. The infinitely adjustable slide-out shelves got my attention when they demonstrated the 250-pound capacity each shelf has by having a man stand on the extended top shelf.
- Light-duty truck introductions include Ford Super Duty pickups, a new class 2-3 cargo van from Nissan, and the Chevy/GMC Heavy Duty pickups. Navistar announced its new Terra Star, available in day cab, extended cab, and crew cab versions.
- Powered by International's Maxx-Force 7 diesel engine, the Terra Star comes in class 4 (16,000 lbs gross vehicle weight rating) and class 5 (19,500 lbs GVWR) versions. The new V-8 engine produces up to 300 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque. Using advanced EGR to meet the 2010 emissions standards, no diesel exhaust fluid is needed.
- Frustration and injury can occur when a trailer and the ball hitch of a pickup or truck are not properly aligned, especially with heavier trailers. Now there's less need to strain and lift to reposition the trailer. Williams Innovations (www.williamsinnovations.com) developed TeleSwivel Pro, a hitch adapter that extends and swivels to enlarge the target zone for connecting a ball hitch trailer by 25 times. It works with 2-inch and 2.5-inch receivers, using an adapter for the larger version. That makes it easier to position the truck without having to manually move trailers.
- Smith Electric Vehicles (www.smithelectricvehicles.com) made news two ways. The Newton plug-in electric truck has a range of more than 100 miles and a top speed of 50 mph with a payload of 16,060 pounds. Its GVWR is as high as 26,455 pounds. It's an ideal city delivery and utility vehicle, reaching 0–30 mph quicker than most diesels. Smith's U.S. operation is attempting to buy its parent company headquartered in England, which would make Smith an American company.
- Do you need separate padlocks for storage boxes located on your trucks? Strattec (www.strattec.com) makes a heavy-duty padlock that you can set to work with the key to your truck. Order the locks for your make, insert your ignition key into the automotive grade lock, turn it right and then left, and your lock is set to work with your truck's key. No more keys left back in the shop or yard.
- Slips and falls getting into and out of vans and pickup trucks are costly in both time lost and claims. New England Machine LLC introduced TruckStairs, a three-step folding staircase with extendable leveling legs (www.truckstairs.com). Truck-Stairs secure to any 2-inch receiver hitch. They are 24 inches wide and 9 inches deep with slip-resistant safety treads, and weigh only 45 pounds.
- Have you unhitched a trailer and then drove away without disconnecting the electrical connection? The result is at least one hour of repair time for two pieces of equipment and a driver out of service. If not done right, the repair will be open to corrosion from rain and road salt. EZ-Connector (www.ezconnector.com) makes a full line of sealed connectors held together magnetically. They hold under normal towing, but break away safely when a truck is driven away from its trailer. Neither the plugs nor the cords will be damaged.

Tim Luetzow, a student in WLC's accelerated degree completion program, shares his growth in knowledge in the area of technology. Tim states, "The very technology that necessitated my re-education is also facilitating that education. Technology is a tremendous advantage to WLC?s program."
Joe Du Fore, director of digital education at Wisconsin Lutheran College, recently shared the top seven iPad apps he recommends for business.
I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to attend WLC and found it to be one of the best experiences of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed working with each member of my cohort and feel that I made some lifelong friends. I am truly a Warrior for life!
?Ask the Students? is a simple concept that we are bringing to the Adult & Graduate Studies blog in an attempt to engage and understand our Wisconsin Lutheran College adult students.
Taking the iPad for Business and Collaboration course opened my eyes to the incredible possibilities of the mobile environment within any business setting.
In this video, Paul Eggers and Nikki Wilson, enrollment advisors at Wisconsin Lutheran College, address the common questions adult students consider when deciding to return to school.
When we were approached to kick off the reverse mentoring pilot program, we didn?t know what to expect, but Nicole and I were excited to represent Wisconsin Lutheran College (WLC), and honored to have been chosen to lead the way with several other students.
"Throughout my time in the degree completion program, I have been challenged in my perspectives, in my personal strengths, and even in my weaknesses. I learned to juggle studying and writing papers with naptimes and mothers? groups. The most joyful surprises, however, have been the relationships formed." – Susan Holdmann
Interested in hearing real business leaders share their insights and management perspectives from their industry? Consider an accelerated business degree completion program. You won't be disappointed.
Wisconsin Lutheran College has a new radio spot, highlighting the accelerated degree completion program, playing in the Milwaukee area this month.

Ben Sweat scored the game-winning goal for the second straight time in the USF men's soccer team's 1-0 win over SMU on Friday afternoon at the Hurricane Classic in Tulsa, Okla. Keeper Eric Osswald recorded his first-career shutout and didn't even have to face a shot on goal as SMU managed just five total shots. "SMU is one of the top teams in the country and to be that good defensively this early, not even give them a shot on goal, I think is a real credit to the experience we have on our back line," head coach George Kiefer said. Friday's first half featured two teams struggling to gain the upper hand with seven combined shots. The period's lone save was recorded by SMU keeper Jaime Ibarra off a shot by Samuel Hosseini in the 36th minute. Just like the season opener, USF's offense got a big boost from an upperclassmen in the second half. Sweat, a junior, got his second goal of the year in the 74th minute by beating Ibarra from about 6 yards out on the left side of the net. "The keeper had no chance for it," said Kiefer of Sweat, who was all alone in front of the net. Sweat scored the game-winner last Friday to get USF past Michigan, 2-1, in a contest televised nationally on Fox Soccer Channel. The assist on Sweat's go-ahead goal against SMU came off a lengthy pass from senior Brenton Griffiths, who tied the game for the Bulls in the second half against the Wolverines. "We either play in front of you or behind you. Brenton hit Ben well and Ben scored an awesome goal just beating the keeper with power," Kiefer said. Aside from the back line, Kiefer credited Osswald's all-around game as a big contributor to SMU not getting a shot on goal. "He's communicating, keeping the box tight and he's also coming for balls that sometimes keepers wouldn't come for and they leave a second ball," Kiefer said. "He's controlling his box well." Kiefer also liked the pressure his offense put on the Mustangs. The Bulls posted 11 shots and just missed out on chances to beat the Mustangs by numerous goals. "We could have scored three or four goals tonight," he said. "I was really pleased with the chances we created and the spots that we got into. It was a very solid performance so early in the season."

While the female was being a little smart alecky, I don't think she was being anti gun. Her comment, "The owner had a weapon nearby", was followed by, "Lesson learned on that one.". To me it implied that the lesson learned by the gator, was don't mess with the dog of someone with a weapon/gun.

I voted for you Peter because I think this is a very important site. I feel that there is a real lack of American Asian influence in gay popular culture. Also there is a lack of Asian models on other porn sites and for those of who love the beauty of Asian men. -- this site is an important service.
I love the site. You deserve the award.

The impudence, the inveteracy of that fellow, is astonishing—no silencing him.
They have the same sort of inveteracy as dogs have for the ill-dressed canaille.
The more distinguished the person, the greater the inveteracy of these foes of human nature.
Their constant tendency is to increase in virulence and inveteracy.
Every thing, in fact, attests both the generality and inveteracy of that horrible propensity among the Spaniards.
Now see with what earnestness and inveteracy the friends of the Colonization Society oppose immediate abolition!
Thus chorea may sometimes reach a degree of inveteracy that renders sleep impossible.
But, in truth, the tradition of ages and inveteracy of associations make such a vast change in Rome impossible.
Their inveteracy, however, was principally directed against the Roman commerce, and the Romans themselves.
It really does seem to me a kind of inveteracy thus to talk of buying a new yacht within a few hours after losing one.

I am one of those lifelong anti-gun people that recently saw the light jumped the fence whatever you want to call it about 6 months ago. As a result I am an extreme newb, but doing everything I can to learn as fast as I can. I have taken a couple of shooting and conceal carry classes, planning on taking a few more defensive/tactical shooting classes. Watched several hundred YouTube videos, been lurking on numerous forums just trying to absorb as much as possible.
I have my Conceal Handgun License, but as of yet havent carried. I bought my first gun, a Springfield XD 9mm subcompact this past Saturday, which I have about 200 rounds through, that will be my primary weapon. I picked up a Ruger LCP/lasermax this past Monday, which I have about 150 rounds though, and it will be my backup. My plan is to get 500 rounds through each weapon before I start carrying it.
I joined this forum as I dont really have anyone I can ask questions of, remember I am a newb so please be kind.

It's hard to explain because looking back my attitude toward firearms was very ignorant, but at the time I "knew" what I was talking about. I have always been big into self-defense, trained multiple martial arts, trained with knives and other bladed weapons to defend my family and myself. For some reason, maybe growing up in a home with no firearms, I had the attitude "guns by their nature were very bad" and only "crazy militant people own guns". Of course in hindsight firearms are just the next extension of what I had already been doing.
What started the tilt was a YouTube video, I am not even sure why I was watching it, but the guy in the video said something to the effect "I am my family's last line of defense" which is something I always preached and believe, it just never had a gun in the picture. After that I started doing some reading and watching over videos, Hickok45 is a great ambassador for firearms btw, but it was the shooting at the Clackamas mall that was my real kick in the ass. Even though I was no where near the mall that day, I had been there many times with my family in the past. I don't care how much martial arts training you have, it will probably be useless against an AR-15. I signed up for a shooting class the next day, the more I learn the more I realize how wrong my attitude has been.

Detox Diet
A Detox cleanse is a popular way to quickly jump start a diet.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
Detox diets, which is short for detoxification, have become quite popular in recent years. As a way to cleanse your body, flush out toxins or speed up a sluggish digestive system, detox diets are meant to improve your health by giving your body a break from the day-to-day toxins that you encounter through food and the environment.
Research suggests that over time our body builds up toxins. While some of these are normally removed from our bodies, others remain built up in our fat cells. In addition, a diet that lacks proper nutrition is more likely to prevent the body from naturally eliminating toxins.
There are a number of detoxification diets that you can choose from depending upon your goal, lifestyle and budget. Most detox diets emphasize eating specific foods or drinking particular teas or taking special herbs. The benefits of detox diets are increased energy, improved digestion, increased concentration and temporary weight loss.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- Detox diets have a number of benefits
- Detox diets may be a way for the body to rid itself of accumulated toxins
- May cause side effects
- Should not be performed by everyone, particularly those with a medical condition
- Can be strict and very regimented
- Often very low in calories
Detox diets will range in their diet and nutrition requirements. Some diets won't allow you to consume anything other than the particular detoxification tonic that is the main component of the diet while others encourage a diet of fresh foods. All detox diets will prohibit eating processed and refined foods as well as alcohol, smoking and sometimes caffeine.EXERCISE
In general, detox diets will encourage you to maintain your regular exercise routine as long as you have the energy for it. Sweating is believed to further facilitate the expulsion of toxins and is therefore a necessary component of detox diets.CONCLUSION
While many medical doctors don't approve of extreme detoxification diets, research illustrates that over time toxins build up in the cells of our body and cannot be removed through regular means. While detox diets have a number of benefits, they should only be undertaken with the supervision of medical or trained health professional. Certain individuals with existing health conditions should avoid them altogether.Common Misspellings

Cuisine: Various
Location: Perth CBD – Forrest Chase
This is the third Friday of March and I'm off again to check out the twilight hawker style cuisines at Eat Drink Perth 2011. Unfortunately, I most likely won't be able to make it next week due to work commitments off site, so I had to make the most of my last visit. I'd had enough for the day and left work at 5pm and thought I'd head down early to avoid the queues as experienced last week, albeit at the later time of 6:15pm. The marquees were set up and were already in full swing with quite a few people already there. I went immediately for paella and got a second serve to take home (thank God for Chinese food containers). For $10, I got a reasonable serve of the paella which was reasonably flavoursome, had a prawn, a large tender mussel and a little chicken leg. The flavours were quite good, not as good as my absolutely favourite meal of all time at Zenith in Acland St, St Kilda in Melbourne, better flavour than Deevine Cafe and at least a paella unlike that served up at Generous Squire. Well this isn't a restaurant but I'm glad to have tried it out as were plenty other people.
After eating the paella, the place was just filling up with people which is a testament to the success of the event in that it's drawing lots of people in. Next stop was the satay stand I've been walking past each Friday. I queued up and after a short wait, got 3 chicken and 2 beef skewers for $7. The beef was a bit tough and chewy according to my parents who tried them when I got home, but the chicken was tender and very tasty. The sauce was delicious but got quite sweet after eating more and more. A thumbs up from me though, really enjoyable.
I also examined the menu at the Moroccan marquee and settled on the chicken targine served with cous cous and bread. A decent serve once again cost me $9.50. The first bite brought some really nice flavours and a "mmm" from me. After eating more and more, it got quite sweet. I noticed that the meal, similar to a curry, had a lot of sultanas and the meal wasn't spicy. The cous cous was very light and tasty. I really enjoyed the bread that came with it. It looks quite similar to a slice of bread but looked like a large cake when uncut. The actual bread is made with maize or corn I think as the flavour is very different. The crust is a bit hard like the top of a slightly crunchy cake, but not like a bread. Quite interesting and different. An enjoyable meal but I would prefer less sweetness and more spice without the meal necessarily having to be spicy. I guess that's Moroccan for you.
After downing all that, I was pretty full but the journey wasn't over. I queued up at the Colombian marquee and placed my order for 3 beef empanada with Romesco sauce which came to $10. There were a mass of orders being taken, written down on open boxes with each person's name. I then queued among the waiting patrons for about 20 minutes. We watched intrigued as a team of people got these round balls, placed them between plastic and squashed them with a flat wooden instrument which produced a flat round dough. That was then filled with the requested filling from a choice of 3, folded and carefully sealed, before being put in a hot deep fryer. I find the process interesting but wondered why a large bunch weren't pre-made as the filling isn't wet. As orders were placed they could have gone in the deep fryer immediately and served the waiting crowd quite quickly. More could have been made by hand during this time.
[Edit: Matt, who runs the stall was kind enough to contact me and make a few corrections and enlighten me on the wait. I'll quote some of his email to me which perfectly explains the process which makes sense: "Also we do apologise for the wait, but it's a product of the recipe really. The empanada dough has no gluten in it, and as such does not freeze well, and it makes transportation difficult of pre made empanadas. To counter this we make as many as we can at the markets before we start selling, but with such long queues of people, the ones we made in advance get sold really quickly, and we're back to making them from scratch. If there was a way to industrialize the process without losing quality and flavour then we'd look into it, but it seems the popularity of the empanadas has it's own issues."]
Nonetheless, after the wait, I collected my meal and took that home. The empanada was delicious with the meaty beef filling really tasty. The roast capsicum made Romesco sauce which I dipped the enchiladas into was also really tasty.
By the time I left, the place was a buzz with a huge amount of people, street performers holding people's interest, musicians and the like all in on the act. I've enjoyed the event set up and hope more of these cuisines become more readily available via eateries all around Perth. I've been fortunate to sample a range of things I've generally not tried before and been better for the food experience. There's one more Friday left so I encourage you to come down and see what you're missing out on if you haven't already come by. Friday March 25, 5-8pm in Forrest Chase.

The government of India is investigating the licenses of 14 Indian commerical pilots who have been charged with flying planes with forged documents that assert qualifications to fly planes. The suspended pilots fly planes for Air India as well as several private airline companies. There is currently an investigation into the licenses of 4000 pilots in order to determine if there are others flying around even though they never passed the required standards to qualify for flying a plane.
This issue raises several questions. If these men were successfully flying planes and got the plane from city to city does it suggest one can be a pilot without passing flying procedures? Initial police findings indicate the men paid bribes in order to fly. We wonder if pilots are detained for criminal actions because they paid bribes in order to fly, where does that leave members of Congress who take money in order to vote one way or the other? If pilots must meet standards, what about Congressmen? Should they meet any standards? Or do we simply entrust them to fly our nation to the right destination?

Cheryl from MI asks:
Should I buy those inkjet refills or budget inks?
You want to save some money by buying ink refills? Well, in general, I recommend not using refills.
They are probably OK for printers with ink nozzles that are NOT built into the cartridge (like Canon printers), but I would still be careful. The ink may not be the same quality as what you would get from the manufacturer, and therefore may cause harm to your printer.
If you are using an HP printer, typically the ink nozzle is built into the printer cartridge and is not meant to be run refill after refill. When you replace your ink cartridge, you also replace your old nozzle with a brand new one. This helps keep the print quality good (especially important if you're trying to print out detailed stuff, like photographs).
Another point to consider is that when you bought your printer, you were probably looking at print quality. Why take a chance on compromising that print quality to save a few bucks?
Those budget ones you get UCE ("Uckie"—unsolicited commercial email) about aren't that great either. Usually they are made with recycled ink. Better to spring for the factory stuff or a decent generic from your local office supply. I know we all want to save money, but I prefer good quality prints and longer printer life.
I know I'll probably have tons of e-mail over this from people who refill their cartridges with no trouble – and good for them,by the way – but I get email all the time asking for my opinion.

Years later, looking for traces of Sept. 11 victims
By Basil Katz
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While much of New York has tried to return to normal since September 11, 2001, the search for victims of the World Trade Center attacks goes on every day.
In what some see as necessary and others see as excessive, anthropologists and forensics experts are sifting yet again through rubble for remnants of the nearly 3,000 people killed when two hijacked jetliners crashed into the twin towers.
With buildings slowly being erected where the towers stood, the latest effort to comb through 844 cubic yards of debris collected since 2007 from excavation of new sections of Ground Zero was launched this month.
Scientists have sifted through two batches of debris already and are testing those samples for human DNA. The new batch of debris has been dug up as construction progresses.
For some victims' families, finding a physical trace of the dead is vitally significant.
"We have an obligation to those who are lost and those who they left to do everything in our power to recover them, said Deputy Mayor for Operations Edward Skyler. "And the sadness of the fact that we're still looking over eight years after the tragedy is lost on no one."
This sifting operation will cost some $2 million, he said.

Welcome to Medical Legal Web Directory
Your one-stop-shop for finding all finding all your medical legal resources.
Why Choose Urgent Care?
What is Urgent Care? Urgent care can most easily be defined as the immediate medical service that offers outpatient care for treatments that can be determined as acute, chronical illness or injury. Specialists at urgent care centers focus on close communication and collaboration between the urgent care physician, the specialists and the primary physicians linked with the patient. In order to become a urgent care specialist they are required to have a broad and comprehensive knowledge of all medical conditions. Urgent Care centers are predominantly set up to assist patients with illness or injury that does not appear to be life threatening, but also needs to be treated in a timely fashion to avoid further complications. In order to decipher whether or not the condition is determined as a life threatening injury or illness is to evaluate the severity of the condition and detailed research from accurate resources.
Some examples of conditions that would be considered to be treated at an urgent care centers are moderate back problems, breathing difficulties, fever or flu, skin rashes, and a severe sore throat or cough. Urgent care practitioners are considered highly proficient in the areas of evaluating and caring for any patient who walks into an urgent care medical center or clinic. Most people turn to urgent care centers because they offer unique services, an example of this would be if someone's regular physician's office hours were limited or if an illness were to strike suddenly and the patient needs immediate care. Urgent care centers prove to be an effective alternative to an emergency room because you avoid the potential of withstanding hours of waiting time which frequently occur when dealing with an emergency room facility. Urgent care centers are not intended to replace your primary care physician's doctor's office, it merely is intended to be a convenient option when someone's regular physician is unavailable for a specified reason. Urgent care specialists do not perform any type of surgery thus a patient will be transferred to an emergency department or hospital to continue any necessary treatment for that individual case. The quality of care of an urgent care office is also greater based on the heightened sense of knowledge found in urgent care physicians.
Urgent care centers deal with a multitude of medical cases because they can fully care for any medical problem by either dealing with the treatment independently or with the consultation of a specialist. Urgent Care specialists are known for the uniqueness of practice based on their distinct knowledge base, established skill set, and the required amount of experience. Urgent care center are widely referred to because the majority of cases they handle fall under acute care due to their experience and expertise in the specific fields of treatment. Urgent care centers also share the most in common with family practice and emergency medicine with the only real difference being based off the quality of care and the specialized due diligence required behind every individual treatment to each patient's medical case. Due to fact that Urgent Care, hospitals require simpler administrative procedures and costs associated with each practice the care for each patient can generally be provided more quickly and economically than other alternative options.

Phil's Trail Loop
Just about any place you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own Oregon Roadtrippers Account. Find out how.
Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
Phil's Trail is both the name of a very popular mountain bike trail near Bend, but also the general name the locals have given for the huge complex of singletrack trails in the area.
Located just a couple miles from the center of town, the singletrack starts before you even reach the parking area with a ribbon of dirt paralleling Skyliners Road beginning at the Mt. Washington Road roundabout. There's a couple of places to park along Skyliners where you maximize your dirt experience.
Once at the parking area, just a half mile down the paved Forest Road 4606, you'll find trailheads for Ben's, Kent's, Phil's and Marvin's Garden. (There's a vault toilet there as well.)
Pick any one of the routes and you're set. A little farther up you'll run into KGB, MTB, Grand Slam, VooDoo, ELV and more trails that are very well marked.
You can do a short out and back, combine some trails to make a longer loop or make it a full day in the saddle by pedaling nearly all the way up to the base of the Cascades before screaming with delight on your way back down.
You can also pedal up toward the Cascades and cross Cascade Lakes Highway to a newer network of trails that are quite popular including Tiddlywinks, Funner and the Steve Larsen trails.

I'm surprised that no survey (that i know of) exists to where teachers who have been teaching for at least 20yrs, have been asked to state their opinions on the learning abilities of students, and the differences in general and learning behaviors then and now. I would very interested to hear what they think, and how they think our youth has improved or declined in that area. Of course, i'm just now thinking of what an impact such a survey could have on public/private education, and it might not be too pretty.
This "study" is screaming with issues of data quality and conflict of interest - it's an internet poll by a person making money off web ads, relying on participation from visitors to a biased site.
The above argument is so stale, already.
Do you think that making a few dollars from google ads was the motivating reason this was done? Make a few bucks off non-vaxing schmucks? And the studies funded by pharmaceutical companies have no conflicts of interest? Do they not benefit financially from selling vaccines? After all, they have a multi-billion dollar business to run. It costs a lot of money to develop a vaccine, as public corporations they need to make a profit they have shareholders to satisfy.

I would add the likely motivation is people genuinely want to know the difference in health outcomes between vaxed and unvaxed children. Unfortunately, we are going to have to make do with "studies" like these until a fully funded unbiased study is done. #notinmylifetime

Healthimpactnews.com is working hard to make that study look valid. However, even they have to acknowledge that their data is iffy. They do it with a ton of caveats, but they do it:
The acknowledged fact that the questionnaires were collected from readers of a web site for parents of vaccine injured children undermines the survey's ability to draw conclusions about comparisons between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Parents of children who have not been vaccine injured are generally not spending any time on vaccine injury sites. There are a ton of caveats there, but as much as the writers wish they would, they caveats don't mean that this data supports conclusions about the comparative health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Although the last sentence in the paragraph I quoted claims that the results of three other studies are reported later in the article, they are not.
The IAS 1992 study linked at the bottom of the article involved 245 families with a total of less than 300 children in each of the categories under study. Ages of the children whose health was reported in the survey ranged from 2 weeks to 46 years. The author of the article notes that many families had one or more older child who was vaccinated and a younger child or younger children who were not vaccinated. Because the people in the vaccinated group tended to be the older siblings, they would have more health issues simply by virtue of having lived longer. The data in the .pdf do not reflect any effort to control for age.
The second link in the article doesn't work.
We have had a discussion on another recent thread about the nigh-impossibility of making this happen.

I am well aware of that. Which is why we have to put up with studies like this.

This is neither an observational nor an experimental study. It's a poll. Polls are useful in politics. But basically, what this did was to ask a bunch of parents who have shown up on a website with a million ads and a title that's a BIG HINT about what kind of google search got them there if they do indeed believe what you would expect a person to believe if they clicked on a link with the words "vaccine injury" in the name. And yes, I think the ad bucks were the motivation for the poll. If people go click around on the page and stay for longer because they are reading and answering poll questions, the advertisers pay the site more money.
You will never find a study that is both unbiased AND fully funded. People have goals when they do research, and when they fund it. That's a good thing - it keeps them focused on finding an answer to the questions under consideration. When there's no money backing a research project you get stuff like this that isn't really research.
Sure, vaccinated children have 2-5 times more illnesses, and Stephen Colbert is the 69th most beautiful woman in the world. These are the sort of things that happen when you gather information through an internet survey filled out by random people and heavily passed around anti-vax sites or Maxim readers, respectively.
They are still collecting data, so if you want to be a part, you can fill it out however you want and as many time as you want by going here: http://www.vaccineinjury.info/vaccinations-in-general/health-unvaccinated-children.html
Also, since the link in the above article isn't working (at least not for me), the actual "study," such as it is, is here: http://www.vaccineinjury.info/vaccinations-in-general/health-unvaccinated-children/survey-results-illnesses.html
Does your child suffer from any of the following illnesses or symptoms? Let's see, ear infections... yes, no, or rarely? Let's say he/she has had a couple, but the last one was over a year ago, and by rarely they probably mean those vaxed kids who only get one every few months rather than those vaxed kids who have them constantly, so we'll go with a no for the final answer!
But even if you were to pretend that the data collection method was in any way valid, the "study" is rife with problems.
For instance:
KIGGS did do blood tests. How many parents do we know who went in to have a child tested for a specific allergy to one thing only to have the test results show several other sensitivities that they were completely unaware of? How many more kids don't have any allergies obvious to be tested for, so we never know about sensitivities they do have? Trying to compare blood test results to the number of people who checked "yes" for "allergies" and expecting to get anything meaningful from it is absolutely ridiculous.
The unvaxed survey lists just lists "herpes" with the typical "yes," "no,' and "rarely" options in the "does your child suffer from any of the following illnesses or symptoms" section. How many parents so that and thought "WTF, sexually transmitted disease, of course the answer is 'no'" forgetting or not knowing that the cold sore the child had a while ago is also herpes?
The biggest problem with the study (apart from the obvious: data collected by internet poll is worthless) stems from this:
They admit up front that this is a problem, and you can see the data broken down by age for unvaxed if you bother to click the chart. But despite this, again and again they compare numbers from their skewed-to-the-under-twos data to data representing kids up to age 17 (or older) as if these numbers were somehow worth comparing.
For instance:
In young kids under the age of 3 warts are very rare. Above the age of three years however the prevalence is rising. In the ages between 4 and 6 years, 5-10% of the kids have warts, in the age group 16-18, 15-20% have warts.(http://www.netdoktor.at/health_center/dermatologie/warzen.htm)
Only 3% of unvaccinated children in our survey have warts.
So, the majority of the kids in the survey are from the age group for which warts are very rare. Yet here they are putting the 3% average for the total unvaxed responses, mostly under two, up against the numbers broken down for the older general population kids as if they were somehow comparable anyway, and it looks bad for the general population. But... the chart is right there. And their age groupings don't line up quite right, but if you click it, you can see that 6.76% of unvaxed 5-6 year olds had warts, which is in line with the general 5-10% for 4-6 year olds above. For the 15-16 year old unvaxed kids, 14% had warts, very close to the 15-20% for 16-18 above. The number then drops suddenly to just under 5% for unvaxed 17-18 year olds despite having risen steadily for all prior age groups.... hello obvious data collection problems.
Or a big one for vax, issues, autism. The "study" authors say: "The CDC estimates that about 1 in 88 (1,1%) children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)(Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network).," The survey results showed that only 0.44% of unvaxed kids had autism, less than half the 1.1% for the general population. This would look pretty bad for vaccines, except that to get the 1 in 88 number, the CDC looked at eight year olds, presumably because most cases of autism have been diagnosed by this age. While autism symptoms may show up at a younger age, and can be diagnosed as early as age 2, most cases of autism aren't diagnosed until after the child's fourth birthday, or even later for milder autism spectrum cases. The majority of the unvaxed in this survey, on the other hand, were under the age of 2. So you are comparing a group composed mostly of those too young to have been diagnosed, many too young for the parents even to have really realized that something is wrong, with kids from the age by which pretty much all cases should have been caught.
But to be fair, the authors do include that handy chart breaking down the results by age. From this chart we can see that the unvaxed 9-10 year olds (all 605 of them), who presumably would have been diagnosed already by age 8, the rate of autism was 1.98%. That's nearly double the 1.1% 1 in 88 for the general population! I repeat, leaving out kids young enough that many cases may not have been diagnosed, unvaxed had nearly twice the rate of autism as the general population! Vaccination prevents autism!!!1111eleventy! 11-12 year old unvaxed kids also had a slightly worse rate of autism than the general population, though not as bad as the slightly younger kids. Things were better for unvaxed 15-16 year olds who had a much lower rate of 0.41%, but then results went up to back above the general poplation for 17-18 year olds with 1.22 percent. Up and down, up and down... well hello data collection problems again! Of course teh rate of autism isn't really twice as high for the unvaxed, it only looks that way because the data presented is worthless.
And then there is diabetes. While babies are occasionally diagnosed with it, I am pretty sure it normally appears in older children, and google seems to be backing me up on that from several sites including this one http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/117739-overview#a0156 which says "Type 1 DM usually starts in children aged 4 years or older, appearing fairly abruptly, with the peak incidence of onset at age 11-13 years (ie, in early adolescence and puberty)."
The authors of the unvaxed "study" tell us that "Diabetes affects 0.2% of the children under 20 years of age in the USA (National Diabetes Fact Sheet)", and then have a chart showing that the rate of diabetes in unvaxed kids is 0.07%, which is obviously way lower. But... diabetes usually starts in kids 4 and older, and most of the unvaxed kids from the unvaxed study were under age 2. If you click the chart to get to the age breakdown, it even tells you that "In the case of a missing bar chart, this means that there are no affected persons in this age group. Note also, that the groups 9-10 years, 11-12 years, 13-14 years, 15-16 years, 17-18 years are very small and the results in these subgroups are not significant." There are several bars of older kids missing from the diabetes chart. So how in the world is comparing a group primarily compose of those too young to expect diabetes to the entire under-twenty population supposed to reveal anything at all about a relationship between vaccines and diabetes?
This is beyond ridiculous. Really, the only conclusions which may be drawn from this "study" are rather unfavorable ones about the authors who would not only present data from a completely uncontrolled internet poll as being worth paying attention to, but then also twist it by comparing a group of unvaxed very much skewed toward infants and toddlers to the general poplation and then trying to claim that when diseases that generally show up in older kids are less common in the younger unvaxed group this says anything at all about the effects of vaccines.
So, like, it's an internet quiz you can fill out?
Guys, seriously. I also did an internet quiz just a few hours ago to determine how much of a hipster I was. The quiz told me that only 2.5% of the population were true hipsters--information gathered, I suppose, from their "study". I ended up not being one of those 2.5%; alas, I am a poseur. I posted my results on Facebook. But I really doubt the quiz has much scientific validity. It's a meme.
This quiz is a questionnaire for members on a vaccine injury site. I could fill it out a thousand times and say anything I wanted. Disregard.
I'd hardly consider an internet poll a study. Was it peer reviewed? Was it published in a reputable journal? If not, it's not on my radar.

No impact factor is about how much reach a journal has - how often things are cited. Some of the metrics we as scientists have to submit to government bodies who fund us depend on will scale the number of citations our papers have by the impact factor of a journal - so publishing in a high impact factor journal will be the goal for your research if you can do it.
But lots of low impact factor journals are reputable - that descision would depend on the level of scrutiny and peer review articles which are submitted to the journal have to go through. In the physical sciences that process is unpaid (ie. I referee other people's papers for free, and they do mine).

Have an Inspirational International Women's Day !
From all at the Healing Clinic
International Women's Day is celebrated globally and is all about celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action – whatever that looks like globally at a local level. It has been recognised and celebrated since the early 1900's.
The world has witnessed a significant change and shift in attitude society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Some women from a younger generation may feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while in fact many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women at board level, greater equality in legislation, and an impressive list of role models in every aspect of life, one could think that women have gained true equality. The unfortunate fact is that women are still not paid equally to that of their male counterparts, women still are not present in equal numbers in business or politics, and globally women's education, health and the violence against them is worse than that of men. However, great improvements have been made. We do have female astronauts and prime ministers, school girls are welcomed into university, women can work and have a family, women have real choices.
So make a difference, think globally and act locally!
Make everyday International Women's Day.
Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.
'Quoteable women'
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. Simone de Beaviour
