Washington (AFP) Feb 5, 2013
Dell's plan to take the computer giant private offers an opportunity to return to its start-up roots, but won't solve the fundamental problems facing the company and the PC sector, analysts say.
The Texas-based tech giant on Tuesday unveiled a $24.4 billion buyout deal giving founder Michael Dell a chance to reshape the former number one PC maker away from the spotlight of Wall Street.
Roger Kay, analyst at Endpoint Technologies, said Dell's plan underscores the deep problems of an industry roiled by a rapid shift to mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, and away from traditional PCs.
"It's an illustration of how tough the PC business is, that Dell had to take this extreme step," Kay said.
Kay said that without the pressure of meeting quarterly financial targets, Dell can focus on more profitable PC segments as it tries to reinvent itself as a services and software company.
"Michael has been trying to turn Dell into a supplier of enterprise solutions for a long time," said Kay. "He has pleaded with Wall Street to give him time."
Kay told AFP that going private would make a transition easier by avoiding the spotlight of "ugly results" which could come from scaling back the PC business.
"The commodity PC business has been suffering," Kay said.
"Dell may probably keep the higher margin consumer lines but maybe look at rest of the portfolio."
Shaw Wu, analyst with Sterne Agee, said Dell has a difficult task ahead.
"Despite the company's strong efforts to transform itself... we estimate that about 70 percent of its business is tied to PCs," Wu said in a note to clients.
"On the positive, we believe going private takes the company out of the quarter-to-quarter grind of being a publicly traded company. But on the negative, not having publicly traded stock could make it more difficult to make larger, transformative acquisitions."
Wu said that as a private firm, Dell's cash would be needed to pay equity investors and service debt, noting: "We are not sure going private improves the company's fundamental position."
Darren Hayes, a Pace University computer science professor and former investment banker, said that by going private, "you're not subject to a lot of regulation, you don't have to answer to your shareholders, so maybe you can be more nimble in strategy."
He noted that "Dell has struggled because of Apple and Lenovo, so this might be a way to trim costs and regain some ground."
The computer maker, which Dell started in his college dormitory room, once had a market capitalization of $100 billion as the world's biggest PC producer.
Dell is now the number three global PC maker, behind Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo, according to the latest report from market tracker IDC, showing Dell's market share of 10.6 percent in the fourth quarter.
HP said in a statement that Dell "has a very tough road ahead" and "an extended period of uncertainty and transition that will not be good for its customers," adding that HP "plans to take full advantage of that opportunity."
Chinese maker Lenovo said it would not comment on a competitor but maintained that "we remain as always confident in our strategy, our ability to deliver compelling and innovative products and our overall position and performance."
Rob Enderle, a tech analyst and consultant, said however that the deal suggests "tighter coupling of Dell and Microsoft," which is providing a $2 billion loan toward the buyout.
"Surface was created because Microsoft didn't think the (PC makers) were listening. Dell will now be listening and Microsoft is likely to listen to Dell better as well," Enderle said.
"But the goal is to put Dell back in start-up mode... Both will target Apple and Google as a team which is where their combined power is likely to be made visible."

End of the Week Explosion #3
It's Sunday? What a week! I've been traveling all over the northeast and our friend Seacord's phone was busted. We finally met up thanks to the Marriott's 24-hour office center that happens to smell a little funny. So do I right now, to tell you the truth. There were not one, but two proms at my hotel this weekend. Boo-ya. Here's what Seacord had to say…
Q: So I'm guessing you saw the Transformers images we posted this week and I'm guessing that you're less than happy with them. What's your beef?
A: OK, I'm not going to say that I'm not a little stoked for this movie now – but as we've seen in the past it takes a LOT to pull off fully CGI'd movies that look somewhat decent. I have no problem with Optimus, he looks dead-on to what we grew up with. What the hell is up with Megatron? Not even close. He really looks like a cross between a jagged EVA (from Neon Genesis for those reading) and a bad sci-fi monster. And by bad I mean cheesy. I don't see anything wrong with adhering a little more to the facial structure of the old Megatron. It's what gave him his personality. This movie just has a lot to live up to after the Transformers animated movie from 20+ years ago. That was a classic. The release date makes me nervous too. This could all too easily become Independence Day sans Will Smith, just with giant robots instead of … whatever the hell those things were.
Q: You have to admit though, that part in the trailer for Transformers: The Movie where the one robot is on fire running down the freeway is pretty freaking awesome.
A: I agree the chase scene was pretty amazing. But so was the chase seen in the Matrix II. Everything else in that movie was a giant waste of IQ points trying to figure out what Philosophy 101 essay this whole movie idea was taken from. I'm of the mindset that Hollywood has not fully perfected the CGI/Human interaction on screen. It's made leaps and bounds, but the choppy cut sequences make you realize you're watching a movie and, to me, half the fun is not having that ruined when the cut-and-paste job falls below expectations. I think this movie will be entertaining but I really think you can't go into this as a fan of the cartoon, comic, toys, etc. This isn't going to be "our" Transformers. And it just dawned on me that if they have some awful band like Linkin Park or some other rap/metal fusion band sing "More than Meets the Eye" I may walk out right then and there.
Q: This week we also found out that we're getting the Abomination as the villain in the next Hulk movie. This is very, very good news. Are you any more optimistic about this one?
A: No. Again, same reason. It means your major conflict scenes are going to be CG'd. Also it's overkill. It's like pitting Superman against Doomsday. Any story that this movie has will be trumped by the 20-minute fight sequence where some state is going to be leveled by their fighting. OK, having said that now, I'm optimistic. I also think Ed Norton is a great actor. First time I think I've ever changed my mind in two sentences.
Q:Last week you said Norton sucked. And I'm all over a 20-minute fight scene, but I see your point. So – that new Rob Zombie comic looks alright…any thoughts on going to see Lamb of God and Hatebreed in Baltimore next month? What should we expect from that show?
A: Having seen both bands live and from what I hear of the venue, it could be all out war. I thought about it last night, saw the date, and can say without hesitation, I will be there. Both bands are amazing live though I don't think I'll be driving back that night…If anyone hasn't had the opportunity to see these bands live or unless you own Kevlar, I'd stay away. Still…this show will be stopped no less than 3 times for fighting. Wanna take the over under?
Q: I'll take the over on that because at a small club in Baltimore, Lamb of God and Hatebreed gets shut down before Lamb of God even takes the stage. I almost got into more fights seeing Chris Cornell there a few weeks ago than I did seeing Slayer, Down and Lamb of God over a month in DC. I'll stay home and read comics for this one.

(Image via Lyft's recent Craigslist posting)
Ridesharing service Lyft appears to be coming to New York City. Sharing economy advocacy organization, Peers, had an event at the Dumbo Startup Lab last night, and attendees confirmed that Lyft plans to launch with a special emphasis on Brooklyn. From the event announcement:
You are invited to an intimate gathering with LYFT as they look into launching into NY with their community friendly ride sharing service! Come hear about the ride sharing economy from LYFT, network with others from the Let's Collaborate community, take a picture with the infamous "pink stache", and get LYFT swagged out over drinks and snacks. As a bonus, LYFT is offering you 2 weeks of free rides!
A listing on Brooklyn's Craigslist page seeking drivers confirms that the company is building a network here. The sharing economy has had a bumpy year, notably in the ridesharing space, as it grows large enough to warrant regulatory challenges. In Maryland, Lyft and Uber have partnered in lobbying its state legislators, as Technical.ly Baltimore has reported. Both services are operating there.
Update: We've heard back from Lyft. Spokeswoman Paige Thelen writes, "We're currently exploring the market as we are [in] many cities in the U.S. and have no firm plans to launch at this time."

I first saw Denison Witmer perform in the spring of 2006 in some horrible east-of-LA venue. It was the kind of dark place you frequent when you're fifteen, seeing local hardcore bands, and not the kind of place where you hang out in your twenties listening to 70s-inspired singer-songwriter folky pop, as I was doing.

The First Step to a Holiday of a Lifetime
| Peak Performance | Mountain Roads | Western Bike Explorer | Ride the Rockies || Gaspesie | Quebec and Ontario | Gaspesie and Niagara Falls | Gaspesie, Quebec and Ontario | | Superior Lake Superior | Great Lakes Vistas | Rental |
Great Lakes Vistas
Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Georgian Bay and the Algonquins. Changing scenery, historic villages, the great lakes, natural monuments, mountains, ancient forests, and a renowned raceway, our Great Lakes Vistas tour has them all. Mix in several 'rest' days that give you the flexibility to tailor your tour to how you like to ride, a ferry crossing and Niagara Falls, and you have a real adventure on your hands. And all on an iconic Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Our tour has been carefully planned to cover lakeside roads and by-ways, which are on the beaten-track but off the main roads, allowing you to enjoy the best scenery along the way.
Day 1 Arrive Kingston. After your flight there's time to relax and prepare for the fun ahead. Kingston was Canada's first capital city, located at the point where the mighty St Lawrence river flows out of Lake Ontario, and wears its 'limestone city' nickname with honour and pleasure. It was developed as an inland naval city, especially around the time of the war of 1812, and is home to Queens University, the Royal Military College and the impressive British Fort Henry which guards the naval dockyard below – now part of the Royal Military College campus. There is enough to see and do in Kingston for an entire week so chose your attractions carefully. We recommend that before you leave Canada, you should make the time to visit Fort Henry, take a Thousand Islands cruise or the nightly Ghost walk. Holiday Inn Waterfront.
Day 2 Kingston - Sackets Harbour (95 km or 400 km). Pick up your Harley-Davidson motorcycle and your holiday really begins. Your first day is a short but scenic ride to Sackets Harbour, New York State, where the American fleet was based during the War of 1812 and it is from here that the fleet sailed to attack what was then called 'York', later re-named Toronto. Sackets Harbour has a wonderful battlefield museum and an excellent restored town centre. The riding is slow because the roads wind around the south shore of Lake Ontario and through pretty villages and towns. En-route to Sackets Harbour you pass through Alexandria Bay where it's possible to take a boat out to see the extravagant Boldt Castle in the middle of the St Lawrence River, an ever so slightly over the top residence, built by the owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, through Clayton, which lays claim to what is arguably the world's finest antique boat museum. The itinerary also allows you time to explore Kingston before you set off, or, if you prefer a good day's ride, we have a much longer ride, looping back to Sackets Harbour. Jacob Brewster House.
Day 3 Sackets Harbour (free day). If you didn't do it yesterday, today you can ride the 300 km loop through the Adirondacks. Alternatively, explore the Lake Ontario Shore and the upstate New York countryside or just take it easy in Sackets Harbour where you can visit the historic battlefield site, the seaway trail discovery centre or the historic community of Madison Barracks. Jacob Brewster House.
Day 4 Sackets Harbour - Watkins Glen (250 km). The Finger Lake region just south of Sackets is a lovely rural and scenic part of New York State and home to the pretty village of Watkins Glen which, with its awesome motor racing circuit, has become a shrine for motorsports fans from around the globe. 'The Glen', as it is known locally, is located at the head of Seneca Lake and is a popular resort town frequented by Canadians and American visitors. Seneca B&B.
Day 5 Watkin's Glen (free day). Plenty of options today. You could spend a day at the race track, go sailing or fishing on the lake, r take a ride out around the Finger Lakes or visit one the nature reserves or some of the numerous waterfalls and wineries in the area. Seneca B&B.
Day 6 Watkins Glen - Niagara on the Lake (385 km). From 'The Glen' you ride back into Canada, crossing at Niagara Falls, the route is flexible but do take a peak at the Falls from the US side before parking up in Canada to appreciate their full majesty. It's then a very short ride on the Niagara Parkway to the pretty town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. We suggest you check out the superb Shaw Theatre or the restored Apothecary dating from 1866. Just outside the town is the Fort George National Historic Site. John's Gate B&B.
Day 7 Niagara on the Lake (free day). Again, plenty of choices. Take a trip under the Falls in the 'Maid of the Mist' or take a helicopter ride over the falls. Other attractions to choose from include the Butterfly Conservatory, some excellent wineries, jet boating on the Niagara River, the beaches of Lake Ontario and the magnificent 1150 ha Royal Botanic Gardens in Hamilton, or why not ride along the Lake Erie shoreline and just explore. John's Gate B&B.
Day 8 Niagara on the Lake - Owen Sound (545 km). This day's ride across southern Ontario to Owen Sound can be quite varied as you avoid the metropolitan area of Toronto (the GTA) as much as possible and keep to the country roads. We suggest visiting Stratford, home of the Shakespearean festival theatre, and Brantford, where you can visit the historic homestead of Alexander Graham Bell from where in 1876 the first 'long distance' phone call was made over just 7 miles. St Jacob's is a lovely village founded by Mennonites where you can learn about their simple lifestyle and buy their produce arts and crafts. Or you may choose to take the quickest route and spend more time in Owen Sound where you are close to the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with 65m cliffs and home to100 species of trees and 320 species of birds. There is also a Marine and Rail Museum in Owen Sound. Owen Sound Inn
Day 9 Owen Sound - Little Current (140 km). This morning, you make the short ride along the beautiful Bruce Peninsula to Tobermory. 'The Bruce' contains two of Ontario's most fascinating national parks, Bruce Peninsula National Marine Park contains 40 species of orchid in its wetlands, and Fathom Five National Marine Park has underwater caves and limestone columns known as the flowerpots. You can take a glass bottom boat trip to view this spectacular underwater landscape. At the end of the road you take the ferry from Tobermory across Georgian Bay to mysterious Manitoulin Island, home to a considerable First Nations community and the largest freshwater island in the world. Once off the ferry, your accommodation has been arranged in Little Current, the island's main commercial centre. We suggest you visit the Ojibwa Cultural Centre before leaving town or try kayaking, horse riding excursions and fishing. Anchor Inn.
Day 10 Little Current - Parry Sound (315 km). The road off the island crosses the narrow Little Current Bridge then winds through La Cloche and Birch islands, which are the northern end of the Niagara escarpment. The ride to Parry Sound continues through the small towns of Whitefish and Espanola before turning south just after Sudbury to run along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, before crossing French River near the settlement of the same name. Continuing along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay there's a chance to leave the main highway to enjoy some of the quiet back-roads, visiting some of the lakeside settlements and parks with their wild and rugged scenery and great views. In Parry Sound you can choose to visit a museum, take a float plane ride, go fishing in Georgian Bay, often referred to as the sixth Great Lake or just take it easy. Parry Sound also enjoys spectacular sunsets, so why not take a sunset cruise on the bay. Quality Inn.
Day 11 Parry Sound - Ottawa (405 km). Today's ride is a spectacular change as you ride through Algonquin Park, where you will really experience the flavour of the Canadian forested wilderness, with lovely mountain scenery and lonely picturesque lakes. Wolf howling and loon calling are pastimes of the locals in this magnificent wilderness area. The ride is quite long but the scenery just keeps on coming. You pass through Huntsville, which is the main tourist resort town for the Algonquin. Do fill up here as it's a long ride to Ottawa through scenic wilderness, areas of countless lakes, provincial parks and small communities. Each has something to see and you will wonder just how many pretty lakes are there here? Arriving in Ottawa you will find so many attractions you really need several days to take it all in. Delta Ottawa.
Day 12 Ottawa (free day). We recommend a walk in the city centre because the scale is quite compact and most attractions radiate out from the Parliament buildings. You can also take a boat trip on the Rideau Canal for a slightly different view of the city. Ottawa is also surrounded by glorious rolling countryside and you might like to ride the nearby Gatineau Hills and possibly to Hull across the river in French speaking Quebec. Delta Ottawa.
Day 13 Ottawa - Kingston (195 km). The Rideau Canal which runs between Kingston and Ottawa was built as a result of the War of 1812, in case another attack came from the USA to the south. That attack never came and this amazing engineering feat was recently recognized by UNESCO and designated a World Heritage Site. It is well worth riding down the winding Highway 15 to Smiths Falls and Merrickville, one of Canada's prettiest villages to soak up the busy lock activities and inspect the fort guarding the canal. From here it's a short ride by several different routes back into Kingston to return your motorbike. Holiday Inn Waterfront.
Day 14 Depart Kingston. It's time to say farewell and take your overnight flights home.

duotive saidwoo! awesome! if we can call that function to use in the front-end that would be more awesome!! will give it a try
wp_editor ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor ) is really nice.. unfortunately the old method of using buttons and modal windows to add shortcodes does not work with the wp_editor function. maybe a tutorial in the future for this one?:)
You're kidding, right?
"Note that the ID that is passed to the wp_editor() function can only be comprised of lower-case letters. No underscores, no hyphens. Anything else will cause the WYSIWYG editor to malfunction.
Once instantiated, the WYSIWYG editor cannot be moved around in the DOM . What this means in practical terms, is that you cannot put it in meta-boxes that can be dragged and placed elsewhere on the page."

Mr. Farley has experience preaching to and teaching high school and adult students (IBE). "Teaching in general is both a challenge and a delight that reaps wonderful benefits. This is certainly the case in regard to teaching the Bible. No other subject is more intellectually stimulating and personally applicable to both teacher and student. I pray that my students will grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ as a result of the high school Bible module series."
Mr. Manuel Mendoza is excited about the privilege of teaching students the Bible. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at the age of 14. It wasn't until he was 21 years old that he knew the Lord's calling for his life was to preach His Word. "The Bible can convert the soul of the unbeliever, and it cleanses the soul of the believer. The Bible is important for our times, and, therefore, it must be taught accurately. For me, teaching the Bible is a great joy and privilege. My desire is to help guide your student through a life that is pleasing to Jesus Christ. My goal is for the student to strive for holy living by developing sound convictions based on God's Word."
Mr. May enjoys teaching from God's Word. "God's Word is powerful. It convicts, encourages, challenges, and strengthens the believer--and it is still the final and absolute authority for us today. All of God's Word is just as relevant and applicable to us as it was to those to whom it was originally written. For these reasons it is exciting and challenging to teach the Bible to your student. My goal is that each student will deepen his knowledge of God's Word, better understand how the Bible applies to him, and grow in his relationship with Christ."
Sherri Vick previously taught various elementary and junior high grades. "I like to look at the picture as a whole—to relate one subject to another so that the child can see how God's plan fits together. I want the child to want to learn, so the lessons have to be fun. Hands-on is the best way, so I don't want the student to just watch, but participate too! One of my goals is that, after watching the lessons, your child will continue in the things he has learned and develop lifelong learning skills that he can use both now and in the future."
Mr. Swingle has 7 years of teaching experience and a genuine love for history. "My desire for my students is to give them a realization that the study of history is essential to gaining a better understanding of God; God often reveals Himself through His dealings with man, which is exactly what history is. It is impossible to study history without seeing the providence of God."
Miss Pringle's interest in literature began at an early age through her mother's almost daily reading aloud of good literature as a part of her family's school day. The past 10 years of focused study and teaching in the disciplines of Creative Writing and English have increased Miss Pringle's delight and enthusiasm in analyzing and evaluating all genres of literature. "Everyone loves a story. A well-crafted story, poem, essay, or drama delights me on several levels, but it's the benefit of gaining an increased understanding and appreciation of God's inspired literature, His Word, that motivates me to apply and grow in my own literary analysis skills and to do my best to instill in my students a similar desire for and delight in literature. It's my prayer that as we enjoy great literary works together we will be inspired to love and pursue God's truth presented in His greatest Book of literature."
Bill Harmon has loved science for as long as he can remember. After completing his B.S. in Chemistry, he returned to Florida where he gained experience teaching a variety of subjects: science, math, Latin, and computer courses. Now he works as a chemist in the Safety Services Office at BJU, teaches Distance Learning Physics and Algebra, and teaches Chemistry at Bob Jones Academy. He is currently pursuing an M.Ed. in Secondary Education. He and his wife Mary Ann have two children, Brian and Janette. His favorite Bible verse is II Timothy 3:14.

Chiefs Fall 4-1 Wednesday
By Chris Shuker / Peoria Chiefs | April 9, 2014 11:39 PM ET
PEORIA, IL- The Peoria Chiefs got down early on Wednesday night in the middle game of their three game series with the Dayton Dragons, and fell by a 4-1 score. The loss drops the Chiefs to 3-3 on the season and evens up the series with the Dragons at a game apiece.
After going 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position Tuesday night, Dayton wouldn't let a second inning opportunity be wasted. They loaded the bases with no outs on a walk and consecutive singles, and Jeff Gelalich lined a two run single to right to give the Dragons an early 2-0 lead.
The Chiefs got their run in the third after CJ McElroy, Jr. had a bunt single, stole second, and advanced to third on a wild throw by the catcher. Mason Katz drove him in with a ground out to second base.
Dayton tacked on single runs in the sixth and seventh. Arturo Reyes allowed a walk, wild pitch, and stolen base of third, with a strikeout mixed in. Sean Buckley lined an RBI single to center, and Reyes was lifted for Joe Scanio. He got the final two outs of the sixth and the first two outs of the seventh before a walk and double scored Dayton's fourth run.
Reyes (0-1) went 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits. He struck out four and walked three. Scanio worked the next 1 2/3 innings, giving up a run on a walk and two hits. Kyle Barraclough pitched 1 2/3 shutout innings with a walk and strikeout, and Blake McKnight recorded the final out, stranding runners at second and third.
Notes: Steve Bean threw out his first attempted base stealer, after the first five were successful against him on the season, including the first two tonight…Arturo Reyes' three walks matches his career high, while the four strikeouts is one off his career best…The RBI from Katz gives him at least one in four of the six games played this season…Kelly's three hit night was his first of the season, and second multi-hit game of 2014…McElroy stole his first base of the season…The Chiefs have committed at least one error in each game, except for the season opener…The Chiefs were 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position...The loss continues the alternating wins and losses through six games…The finale of the three game series is Thursday at 6:30pm…It will be Thirsty Thursday, with 12-ounce domestic beers and fountain drinks each on sale for just $1…Tickets will be 98 cents, presented by 98.5 KISS-FM…$1 hot dogs, $1 ice cream sandwiches and $1 sodas plus a free ticket to a future Monday-Wednesday game if the Chiefs lose to a future M-W game!$1 hot dogs, $1 ice cream sandwiches and $1 sodas plus a free ticket to a future Monday-Wednesday game if the Chiefs lose to a future M-W ga..LHP Jimmy Reed (0-0, 1.80) will make the start for Peoria against RHP Sal Romano (1-0, 6.00)…The broadcast can be heard, starting with the Pre-Game Show at 6:10pm, on www.peoriachiefs.com/listenlive which also has downloads for a free app on the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android. The broadcast is also available on the Peoria Chiefs Network in the Tune-In Radio App.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Am wondering
No, an HOA lien cannot be "avoided" because it is a voluntary lien; but, depending on who your judge is, it may be able to be "stripped" in a Ch13
Don't forget, HOA fees incurred prior to filing BK can be discharged; but a lien will remain.
I agree with what Mr. WhitaHOAs will sometimes sue for a money judgment in small claims court and record a judgment lien called and Abstract of Judgment in addition to the lien for the delinquent assessments. You might be able to avoid the judgment lien, but not the assessment lien.
First, the firm is a debt relief agency according to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. We help people file for bankruptcy. We also do other stuff and we do it well, but Congress wants me to post this notice. Second, nothing on this site is legal advice. You are not my client unless you enter into a written agreement signed by you and me.Ask a similar question
I concur with the other two attorneys. In Nevada, this animal is called super priority lien (and it has made havoc with the lives of the propert owner). Basically, it has priority on everything including the first lender's lien, and has allowed the collection agencies to add up lots of charges upon the late HOA's dues.
Only see a licensed attorney before you make any decision. This answer may not be perfect in any given situation. However, more fact may be required by your local attorney. If you are in Las Vegas, you are welcome to send your questions regarding Chapter 7, or 13 to Attorney Malik Ahmad at email@example.com or www.fastbankruptcynevada.com or by calling (702) 270-9100. In many cases, we do not charge initial consultation fee.Ask a similar question
Judgment liens can be avoided in Chapter 7, but HOA liens are generally statutory liens and nothing in the bankruptcy code addresses this issue. You may be able to strip those liens if you go into a Chapter 13 instead. Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question

Hey m3 fam I got a problem the other day I hit a pot hoe and I notice that right rear is lower then
My left side by a inch and a half what could it be and how much to fix and will that mess any thing else up
Something is wrong. Either get under there an look or take it to a shop.
You broke or bent something. Not way to tell how much it will cost to fix, until you find out what is wrong.
And yes, it can mess up more things if you leave it.
Yea I'm not driving it

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We've stayed in many many hotels all over the world and this was one of our favorite stays! From the personalized service from Tracy, to the excellently maintained rooms and courtyard, we can't fault this great little hotel. Rooms are small for a typical hotel but are more than compensated for due to a great layout, and all the amenities you could need. This was the first hotel EVER that we have stayed in that had two luggage racks in the room. I cannot find fault with the Iron Horse Inn and will stay here again on our next visit to the Cottonwood/Sedona area.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Newly remodeled, but kept the quaint "old town" appeal. Loved the location and the shared courtyard. The coffee was the best we had on our whole trip! We loved the small cozy room but some might prefer more space.
Good location within walking distance of nice restaurants. Friendly staff at check in and check out. Room was very small by stairs to upper floor; stairs cut into the room making it even smaller. No individual light over the sink; had to use the room overhead lights to see at sink. Bath and room had been updated so very clean and nicely decorated. Interior courtyard had nice furniture to relax on; best place to get good wifi connection not possible in our room. Overall fairly quiet despite the room air conditioners running. Nice amenities in the guest coffee room: free Starbucks machine coffee plus fruit and ice machine.
Shower head. Glass stained bath door. The extremely comfortable bed and softness of bedding. Starbucks was a nice extra touch. Wood flooring... the courtyard was quaint, unique we loved the stay.. Shelving over microwave.
Cleanliness and great staff.
The rooms were good. The breakfast changed daily during our stay (a definite plus). Staff was friendly and helpful. The location worked well for our sightseeing goals. Rooms could use updating. Pillows and mattress could use replacement.
Room was only adequate. Room booklet states they only change sheets every third day for people staying over and the same with towels. I feel that is unacceptable. Housekeeping did change sheets and towels more often than that. Also they put a $20 per night "hold" on our credit card for "incidentals" until we left because we booked thru you rather than directly with them. I didn't appreciate the fact we were unaware of that before booking. Probably wouldn't stay here again.
Excellent breakfast and friendly staff!! Good size room and very clean. Grounds and pool area were clean and well maintained. The hot tub only had 2 jets working. My brother in law had to push the door open with his shoulder because it was not set properly but maintenance fixed it. Poor water pressure at the sink.
closeness to where our friend lives for visiting. driveway and parking lot were being torn up for repaving. No elevator for second floor.
Nothing Everything
Room was clean, tv was big. I paid for the room online the day of my stay, when I got to the hotel there were signs everywhere saying if there would be a $50 charge if you brought pets into the room. I was traveling with my cat and didn't see anything about their pet policy on the website I used to pay for the room. They wouldn't give me a refund due to their refund policy so I figured I either lose 50 bucks or 75, and I brought my cat in. The woman at the hotel deactivated my card key and wouldn't let me back in the room I paid for until I signed an additional receipt for the pet charge, then she let me back in the room but said I needed to leave immediately, even though it was hours before my checkout and nothing about their pet policy indicates you have to leave. I hadn't even showered yet, but the lady came by every few minutes to beat on the door and I left very unhappy. Terrible customer service. Not worth the $125 I ended up having to pay.
Bed comfortable Noise from upstairs and breakfast was poor. Breakfast lady was super friendly.
Reasonable price, honored quotation. Good general location. Clean. Friendly, helpful staff.
The room was very clean and the stay was good. I rate in excellent in the category it's in---an economical motel that is clean and had a friendly staff and in a good location.
Overpriced. Outdated. No iron or ironing board. Loud motorcycle group made noise all night. I booked 2 nights left after 1.
We stayed here for 3 nights. The house was charming. Very well decorated. Our room was comfortable, clean, private, country decorated reflecting the location in Cottonwood, AZ. The breakfast was substantial with an emphasis on locally made produce. The inn-keeper, FIONA, was a delight to engage in conversation. She was informative, accomodating and truly happy to be of service to travellers. If other B & Bs are like this one I will be be looking for them as an alternative to hotels when travelling in the future. Can't think of a thing I didn't like.
Very clean, exceeded our expectations
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
allowed early check-in. coffee pot, microwave in room smallish room...charged extra for additional coffee packets.
Double Queen Suite: very comfortable beds; clean room; soft & fresh linens; suite was somewhat smaller than pictured but adequate for what little time was spent in the room. Could use an electrical outlet closer to table for computer use. Parking is a little tight for larger pickup parking. Swimming pool is very small. Kitchen had adequate supplies..silverware; cups; plates, cooking pots/pans, etc. and were clean. Overall decent accommodations and would stay there again.
The staff was friendly and attentive. All was good. No issues - clean, convenient, comfortable.
Clean, friendly, responsive staff. Dog friendly! Even though this time I didn't have a dog. Good location. Good price. Just that there were noisy people (with children) overhead. Would have preferred that they had been on ground floor and we were on the floor above.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room smelled awful. Property was run down and outdated. The hot tub was surrounded in caution cones and non-functioning. Lobby was 500 yards from rooms. Asked for blanket and had to walk in the dark to get it. Many more issues, no room to explain. :(
Large room, bathtub Needs more electric outlets.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Bed was extremely hard. A pillow top would have helped.
The view Far from the front
I liked the quick and friendly check in. I enjoyed the breakfast, that included, donuts, muffins, bagels, toast, eggs, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, hot coffee, hot cocoa, orange juice, apple juice, yogurt and fresh fruit as well. There was a slight odor in the room that was from a chemical or a cleaner of sorts, but it aired out quickly.
Breakfast was sub par with expectations Lady at the front desk complianed about how hard her job is while i was checking in, i felt every spring in the bed, hot tub was closed (for cleaning, hopefully), housekeeping looked/acted as if they had just been released from jail
Good sized mini-fridge Across the street from food NOT a hotel; a motel like Super 8 or Motel 6 with doors on the outside Office 150+ yards away from the actual rooms Restaurant was closed No water pressure Bed was uncomfortable Listed TV channels weren't paid for
Outside iof Cottonwood a little for privacy and security sake. Slightly over priced but within our budget. Manager did not explain room location very well at our arrival. Also did not initialize key cards for the two rooms so had to walk back 2 blocks to office. Breakfast has advertising for items that do not exist. This is more on a Super 8 level motel.
Hotel lobby and breakfast in a separate building from the rooms. An odd arrangement.
Location The room was disgusting. It smelled like someone peed in the a/c. The water smelled like sulfur. 2 1/2 stars??? 1 star at most! This was on my top 10 worst hotel experiences.

The Tikoloshe - Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom
Out of legends it comes to reality
and in the darkest night
it brings the greatest fear
when in the full moon it lurks
with eyes glowing red
and a awkward bended broken body
with a sneer on its monstrous face.
it hides itself under a bed
and waits upon its victim
and it feeds on innocence
leaving only death, fear and doubt
and the blood trail of its perversion
and after dealing out death
the almost manlike figure dances
in the light of the full moon
with blood and saliva
dripping from its fangs
and when it howls it calls
upon the spirits of pain an woe
and through the ages
the tikoloshe has been feared
and beds in rural houses
have been elevated
to leave no hiding place for it.

The Lakers left Los Angeles today headed for Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers on Tuesday night in the first game of a four-game road-trip. Steve Nash, who sustained a small fracture in his fibula back on October 31, is traveling with the Lakers and could return to the starting lineup on the road-trip.
"I think it's possible," said D'Antoni before Sunday night's loss to the Utah Jazz. "I wouldn't put my reputation on it, but, it's possible."
Nash has been participating in agility and strengthening drills with strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco.
Nash was originally expected to miss a month with the injury but it has been 40 days since the Portland game. The Lakers need to abstain from rushing Nash back to action on this road-trip because a Nash that's not at 100% won't fix the Lakers problems. He may even make things worse considering he'll have trouble moving laterally which will make Los Angeles' defensive woes worse. The offense is a problem but not the primary concern for the Lakers, so Nash 's return to the lineup won't take the Lakers from 11th place in the West to first overnight.Tags: Basketball, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA, Steve Nash

Tricycle's Awake in the World blog has been doing an absolutely marvelous job of following news related to Burma's Rohingya minority, and continues this week with a post by Alex Caring-Lobel, who puts the spotlight on the "mad" Buddhist monk Wirathu. A former prisoner, put behind bars for inciting violence against Burma's Muslims, and who refers to himself (!!!) as the "Burmese Bin Laden," he has called for a boycott of Muslim businesses, made baseless claims about the Rohingya, and used explicitly racist and Islamophobic language in his social media work. You can watch a Guardian video report on him here. As Alex puts it about Wirathu (and other depressing Buddhist news within and without Burma), "if you're still holding on to any bit of romanticism regarding Buddhist monks, young or old, [this] will mercilessly crush it."
The Rohingya, though, got a boost this weekend from the mighty Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who wrote an op-ed about them for the Washington Post. He writes, after having visited Burma and met with his fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi for the first time:
…I departed with a heavy heart. I was shattered by the poverty, the decaying buildings, the uncertain electricity supply and the broken sidewalks. Driving into Yangon, our group paid a number of tolls for which we received no receipt, nothing. How blatantly can you steal money that should be used to benefit ordinary people?
I am worried that the winds of change are not blowing evenly, that some of the weak and the poor will be left behind.
And then there are the Rohingya — just one poignant example of Myanmar's new freedoms becoming exploited by bullies and extremists. How can people be treated in such a way — hunted down, homes torched, beaten and killed — in the name of a warped sense of nationalism? Do the perpetrators not know that we are from the same human family?
You can read Archbishop Tutu's entire editorial here.

text: I was at a gun show this past weekend and got quite a deal on a CVA Mountain Stalker in .54. It's practically a twin to my .54 CVA Bobcat, with one difference. The twist rate is quite different. The other muzzle loaders I have are all 1:48" twist, this new-to-me rifle has a 1:38". Now, from what I have read over the years that would be too fast a twist rate for round ball, 1:48" being about as fast as you want to go. So, what do you guys thing I should try in this rifle for a projectile?

Muslim Superheroes The 99 at the Guardian Newspaper
We've previously reported on Islamic superhero series The 99, but now the UK's Guardian newspaper has picked up the story as well, following an announced television series for the comics!
Even if you deliberately set out to try to dream up the least probable superhero ever, it's unlikely that you'd manage to come up with a character as far-fetched as Batina the Hidden. Forget Wonder Worm, or a man born with the powers of a newt, Batina is a superhero of a kind the world hasn't until now seen. It's not just that she's a Muslim woman, from a country best known for harbouring al-Qaida operatives – Yemen – but that she wears an altogether new kind of super-person costume: a burqa.
She, along with her fellow crime-fighters, a vast team of characters from around the world, including Jabbar the Powerful from Saudi Arabia and Hadya the Guide from London, collectively known as "The 99", are the world's first Islam-inspired superheroes. And this week, in what is perhaps the ultimate comic-book accolade, they will join forces with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. DC Comics, the US publishinggiant, will publish the first of six special crossover issues in which The 99 will be fighting crime alongside the Justice League of America, the fictional superhero team that includes Superman and Batman.
What's even more remarkable is that The 99 only came into being in 2007 with some remarkable firsts: the first comic book superheroes to have Muslim names and be directed at an international audience and the first to come out of the Middle East. Crossovers don't happen often and even less often with characters that are just three years old. Even The 99's creator and mastermind, a Kuwaiti-born, American-educated psychologist and entrepreneur called Naif al-Mutawa, seems to be having some trouble believing the Superman link-up.
"For me, there's a nerd part and a business part. On a business level, it's pretty exciting to be acknowledged as having created something that's considered to be on a level with something that's been around 50 years or more. And that obviously has business ramifications. But the nerd part is the thing that makes my eyes light up." – continue reading.
Why I based Superheroes on Islam by Naif Al-Mutawa
Dr. Naif Al-Mutawa, the creator of The 99 comic book series, discusses his creation and its motivation in this article for Animation Express:
Female, Muslim and Mutant: Muslim Women in Comics
Jha sent over this fascinating article: Female, Muslim, and Mutant: A Critique of Muslim Women in Comic Books, by Jehanzeb Dar. She discusses two of the most important Muslim comics series – The 99 from Teshkeel Comics, and the works published by AK Comics.
While I believe there is very little known about the images and roles of women in comic books, the subject of how Muslim female characters are portrayed is even smaller. In part 1 of this essay, I looked at how the character of "Dust" was depicted in a popular American comic book (X-Men). In part 2, as promised, I will examine how numerous Muslim female characters are depicted in comic books written by Muslim writers. I will begin by discussing two female characters in Naif Al-Mutawa's fascinating comic book, "The 99," and then critique two more female characters appearing in the world of AK Comics, founded by Dr. Ayman Kandeel. Al-Mutawa's company, Teshkeel Comics, and Dr. Kandeel's AK Comics couldn't be any more different in their presentation of female characters – the former shows us arguably the best depictions of Muslim female characters to have ever appeared in comic books, while the latter gives us an unimaginative redux of unrealistically curvaceous and buxom super-heroines who look like clones of Wonder Woman and Catwoman. By bringing these characters into the spotlight, we can learn how incredibly significant it is to battle sexism and racism in comic books as well as how we can create a much-needed dialogue and understanding between the Muslim world and the non-Muslim world. – read the rest of the article!

On a visit to the La Colline farm (Robertson, Western Cape) I met up with Frendaline Booysen and Jeanita Isaacs, where I found out a little bit more about the two students from the De Villiers Primary School.
An example to follow
Frendaline, once shy and with a low level of confidence has taken leaps and strides and has become quite the example at the De Villiers Primary School. The teachers at De Villiers Primary saw Frendaline's potential, and at 13 years old she is now the head girl in her final year in Primary school, quite the role model for the other school children and for the children at the La Colline farm.
I asked Frendaline what it felt like to be head girl, and she told me "It feels good to be able to set an example – I always try hard at school and listen to my teachers – when children are naughty I have no problem in taking them to the principle". I went on to ask Frendaline a little bit more about life at school, and I learnt of her passion for learning, as she says "English and Maths are my favourite subjects, I love numbers and I think English will give me opportunities in the future".
Growing in confidence, Frendaline takes a place on centre stage in the school concerts, and says "it is great to be on stage, I love speaking in front of people and I was acting in the role of a bank teller at the last school concert in April (2009) ".
Jeanita Isaacs (13) also attends the De Villiers Primary and told me that "Maths and Life orientation are my favourite subjects. I really enjoy learning about life and healthy living and enjoy working with numbers in Maths classes.

Atlantic City Race Course would receive close to $1 million for capital improvements next year under a proposal released Thursday by state lawmakers from a legislative gaming committee.
Under the bill, the race course would collect 90 percent of the Casino Simulcast Fund, a special fund set up in the 1990s when the casinos began carrying simulcast horseracing. The fund was designed to offset the loss of simulcast business at racetracks. Last year, the Atlantic City track received only 7 percent of the fund.
Supporters of ACRC, which operates in Mays Landing, long have argued they were by far the most affected by the competition from casinos. Aside from an annual six-day live meet, most of the track's business has been from simulcasting.
The windfall for ACRC would upset a current arrangement that gives most of the $1.3 million Casino Simulcast Fund to larger racetracks to the north.
Under the bill, ACRC would be given 90 percent of the fund annually, provided it uses the money in the first year mostly for capital improvements. In the future, the bill says, the money could help pay for additional live race days at the site.
Over the objections of horsemen's groups, ACRC representatives told members of the state Senate Committee on State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation that their track should be the obvious beneficiary of the fund.
"We believe we deserve a slice of the pie. I respectfully submit this is our slice of the pie," Maureen Bugdon, president of ACRC, told the committee, adding that the course was in "financial distress."
The bill's proposal would overturn the current way that money is distributed.
In recent years, ACRC received only a fraction of the money, as little as 4 percent of the fund's balance, which in turn represents a percentage taken from casino simulcast pool earnings.
Last year, ACRC received just 7 percent of the fund balance, Bugdon said, and in 2009 it received 6 percent.
Under the new proposal, it would be the larger tracks that would split a small percentage: the state-run Meadowlands and Monmouth Park and private Freehold Raceway would split the remaining 10 percent equally.
An amendment also ruled out using any of the money for purse subsidies.
However, the bill faces strong opposition from horsemen's groups, who face a year of changes as the two state-run racetracks transition to private operators and a commitment to become self-sustaining.
Michael Campbell, director of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association, opposed the bill, saying the simulcast money could substitute for $775,000 in state contributions that come from the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and go toward the TBA's efforts to keep horse farms and breeders in the state.
As private operators, including Resorts Casino Hotel co-owner Morris Bailey, prepare to take over Monmouth Park, the NJSEA contribution would disappear.
"The TBA is in danger of losing that contribution," Campbell said. "That's 30 percent of our revenue."
He asked for the TBA to receive the first $775,000 of the Casino Simulcast Fund.
Michael Musto, head of the Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, also opposed the bill, suggesting instead that the money be used for purse subsidies and to extend the number of racing days on ACRC's schedule.
But Bugdon said the other tracks already had benefit from special funds, including a three-year annual subsidy from casino revenue to winners' purses.
She contrasted Atlantic City Race Course's lack of subsidy to Monmouth Park's "elite meet," funded through various sources to the tune of $1 million in purses per day.
"Please give me $30 million to run Breeders Cup races, purse supplements, or $1 million a day to produce an elite meet," she said, drawing that contrast with other tracks' funding. "I suggest Atlantic City Race Course would look spectacular and do their best to make that happen.
Bugdon said the new award would match "what has been given time and time again in other funding to racetracks, even for one day of racing at another racetrack."
Roy Foster, president of the AFL-CIO Atlantic and Cape May Central Labor Council, also supported the bill, proposed by Sen. Jim Whelan, D-Atlantic, and Sen. Jeff Van Drew, D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic. When casinos started carrying simulcasting, Foster said, "With ACRC being 12 miles down the road, obviously that's the only track that's impacted by this."
"Everybody has a different idea of where this money goes, and that's a problem," Foster added.
Bugdon concluded: "I believe the time has come to stand up for southern New Jersey and the live racing that is so beloved in this area of the state as well."
The committee released the bill by a vote of 4-1. Two senators said they would reserve their right to vote differently on the Senate floor, where the bill now heads.

Hello all, I am new to postgreSQL. When I perform an action on a psql database (e.g. insert into a table), some more action could be induced, via trigger firing: - is it possible to know at any time the exact action chain? - is it possible to know at any time if the control is inside a trigger (and which one)? Sorry, I tried to search in www.postgresql.org but I wasn't able to find anything useful. These questions arise because I'm trying to keep in sync two identical psql databases; I have audited tables and an audit trail. I'm facing the problem of recognising which actions in the trail were due to a trigger firing, rather than explicitly commanded. Thank you in advance Fabio

Jury holds Veon's fate in 2nd trial
HARRISBURG -- A Beaver County nonprofit organization "was like a mask Mike Veon was wearing robbing a bank," said a prosecutor seeking to persuade a Dauphin County jury to convict the former state representative in his second corruption trial.
Veon used the Beaver Initiative for Growth "in a very personal way for his own benefit," said Deputy Attorney General Laurel Brandstetter. She called him "a thief" during closing arguments on Thursday.
Veon's attorney, Dan Raynak, argued that his client "never took a cent" from the organization.
Convicted or not, Veon, 55, will return to Laurel State Correctional Institution as inmate No. JP4714, according to a state prison spokeswoman. A jury convicted Veon of 13 felonies and a misdemeanor in 2010 for approving an illegal $1.4 million program to award staff bonuses for campaign work, and he's serving six to 14 years.
Yesterday, the jury of six men and six women deliberated about three hours without reaching a verdict. Deliberations will resume this morning, the 10th day of the trial.
Veon, the former House Democratic whip, faces 15 charges of misusing money from the nonprofit he founded in 1992 and for which he obtained $10 million in state grants over the years. Veon formed the nonprofit, known as BIG, to spur development in Beaver County.
Raynak asked the jury not to convict his client based on the "word of a convicted felon beholden to the prosecution," referring to prosecution witness Jeffrey Foreman, an attorney convicted of corruption in another case.
Foreman's testimony is critical to the state's case. His Harrisburg law firm received $4,000 monthly to perform little or no work, Foreman said, as a favor for his loyalty as Veon's chief of staff. Foreman testified that Veon asked him to ensure that the president of a development company in 2004 paid his brother Mark Veon a salary of more than $100,000.
Brandstetter acknowledged Veon did not steal money directly from BIG, but she said he devised schemes to bolster his re-election chances so he could keep his state job and benefits.
Attorney Michael Palermo, who represents co-defendant Annamarie Perretta-Rosepink, urged jurors to acquit her of six charges. She worked as Veon's district office director and was a BIG employee.

Tests on the weapon used to kill Trayvon Martin show traces of George Zimmerman's DNA but none that matches the 17-year-old victim's.
Today, prosecutors released the results of the tests on the slide, trigger, grip and holster of the automatic pistol that Zimmerman used to kill the 17-year-old unarmed teenager in February in a gated community in Sanford, Fla.
To be precise, the tests excluded Trayvon as a possible contributor for DNA found on the gun's grip but were unable to determine whether his DNA was on the other parts of the weapon.
The tests on the slide showed the presence of one male individual, but it could not be matched to anyone.
Zimmerman, 28, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, has admitted to shooting and killing Martin in February but says he did it in self-defense. He has told police that the pair struggled during a late-night confrontation on the dark streets of the residential community.
Zimmerman, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of second-degree murder, told police he opened fire only after Trayvon reached for the gun that he wore in a holster.
Other evidence released today includes a 911 call Trayvon's father, Tracy, made on the morning after the shooting.
During the three-minute 911 call, Martin's voice is low and sober as he tells the dispatcher that he last saw his son around 8:30 p.m. the night before.
"I need to file a missing person's report," he says. "It hasn't really been 24 hours, but I'm from Miami, and my son's up here with me, and he left. I'm in Sanford, and he doesn't know anybody up here."
Tracy Martin tells the dispatcher that he is staying at his girlfriend's house, spells Trayvon's name, then describes what his son might be wearing.
"He probably had on a pair of khaki shorts and a gray sweatshirt ... and a pair of Jordan tennis shoes, white and red tennis shoes," Tracy Martin says.
The father then gives the dispatcher a number where authorities can contact him.The operator tells him someone will be coming out to him.
The call ends without any mention of the shooting the night before.

Peter Pappas highlights a provocative interview from a former IRS commissioner, as reported in WebCPA, Mortimer Caplin said that loading the IRS with responsibilities outside of collecting taxes weakens its ability to do its real job:
"IRS personnel are people with accounting, economic and investigative abilities. The new programs require them to carry out other functions for which they're not qualified."
For example, he noted, "Even the Earned Income Tax Credit could have been handled by Health and Human Services. What has happened is that there are a tremendous amount of fraud and deficiencies associated with the program. This has produced a great loss of revenue, because the Service has to focus attention on the wrong returns. Rather than looking at high-income returns, with, say, foreign investments, they have to examine the EITC. Their mission has been watered down."
Though I suspect the added powers may be seen as a feature, rather than a bug, by the current power-hungry IRS Commissioner.
Let's go back in time to see Commissioner Caplin running an IRS largely free from non-tax responsibilities:

Very interesting, but the irs mission statement doesn't say they are supposed to focus on collecting the most money. Compliance issues are important too.
Thank You for sharing the video Joe!
Wow! How much things have changed.
Daniel, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a wonderful video just for the window into a lost world. Though I think the IRS still uses some of the equipment shown in the Fresno service center...

Ratings for Dr. Rajesh Behl
I had an incredibly positive experience with Dr. Behl and his entire team. Almost a year ago I was diagnosed with Advanced Promyelocytic Leukemia. Dr. Behl saw me within 15 minutes of my primary care doctor contacting him and he remained by my side for the entirety of my treatment. He was able to accurately tell my diagnosis upon seeing me and acted fast to save my life. For the first crucial weeks of my treatments I would see Dr. Behl a few times a day and it was very clear that he kept a close personal eye on my progress. Even after I had stabilized he would see me every single day during my treatment. I felt that I was receiving incredibly personal care and I found Dr. B's comedic demeanor calming. I also have great trust in Dr. Behl's medical decisions. He is familiar with and incorporates latest research in treatment. I just moved and I am now being treated at a major research hospital and I desperately miss the warm and friendly environment that Dr. Behl and his staff provide.
Hello my name is Aglay Serra, I am 29 years old mother of two girls. When I was 24 years old and three months pregnant I was diagnosed with. A Hodgkin's lymphoma after many refuses from different Doctors from all the Bay Area including San Francisco, Oakland, Pittsburg, Concord, Walnut Creek, just to name a few because I was refusing to have an abortion; I funded Dc. Belh from Alta Bates Hospital. Dc. Belh and his team were there for me, supporting me in every step of the process, I was never ask to have an abortion and I started to get my treatment right away. Today my baby girl is celebrating his birth day, she is 4 years old and I am completely healthy and in remission. Thank you Dc. Belh, you are the best.I'm blessed to have Dc. Belh in my life!
