Reviews of this property
We spent 6 nights at Hugo's appartment. It is a nicely furnished place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We found everything we needed (cooking equipment, washing machine, WIFI etc.) in the appartment. It's very well located, close to the old town and to Martim Moniz, which beame our favorite spot to eat (wonderful international food...a fabolous Sushi-Place). Hugo is a nice and very helpful host. We can definitely recommend the place and its host!
An excellent accommodation, neat, clean, in a narrow street. Everything you might need is present. Sometimes what sounds outside. Near the metro station, a supermarket and various restaurants.
Een prima accommodatie, netjes, schoon, in een smal straatje. Alles wat je nodig zou kunnen hebben is aanwezig. Soms wat geluiden van buiten. Vlakbij het metrostation, een supermarkt en allerlei restaurantjes.
Well equipped and cozy apartment. Quietly situated near the Old Town and a metro stop. Warm welcome by the administrator.
In a word: a must!

INDIAN BROOK - A 33-year-old man was transported to hospital early Sunday morning after sustaining non-life threatening injuries from a stabbing.
RCMP Sgt. Brigdit Leger confirmed the RCMP was called to a stabbing incident just before 1 a.m. Sunday on Eagles Nest Road in Indian Brook. The man was still in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre at lunchtime.
"The investigation is still ongoing," said Leger, adding the North East Nova Major Crime Unit was assisting the Indian Brook RCMP. "The suspect and victim were known to each other, so it wasn't a random incident."
Leger wouldn't say if a suspect had been arrested, or if the police were still seeking a suspect.

By Ron Barnett, USA TODAY
The brick and cobblestone streets in the historical district of Charleston, S.C., are getting a high-tech touch.
Installation of "smart," card-operated parking meters began last month in the 339-year-old city, says Hernan Peña, director of the Charleston's department of transportation. So far, he says, about 900 of 1,800 planned meters have been installed.
Charleston is one of the latest examples of cities across the USA — including the nation's biggest — converting from drop-in-a-coin-and-twist-the-dial machines to a new generation of meters.
Although some form of the technology has been used outside the USA for about 20 years, and here for at least 10, "it's catching on in more and more cities as aging parking meters need to be replaced and new technology is being introduced," says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a non-profit association working to spread the use of smart-card technology.
About 200 people put cash on cards the first three days after the Charleston program was announced, Peña says.
One of them was Diana Shoaf, treasurer at The Citadel military college in Charleston. She says the meters are saving her money on lunchtime stops, because she reinserts her card when she's ready to leave and gets a refund for unused time.
"The nice thing is I don't have to carry change around in the car or in my purse," she says.
The meters — some of which also take coins — include solar-powered devices that take credit or debit cards, meters that can be paid by cellphone, and meters linked by wireless networks that can be remotely controlled and alert officers to parking violations, Vanderhoof says.
Glen Hellman, CEO of Bethesda, Md.-based smart-meter manufacturer IntelliPark, explains that a customer with an account for a controlled-access lot can pull into a spot, call the meter system by cellphone and enter the parking space number and the amount of money for the time they want. Hellman says his single meters sell for about $150 if about 5,000 are purchased.
The cost for multispace meters ranges from $7,000 to $10,000, according to Ian Newberg, of Parkeon, a manufacturer of smart parking meters with North American headquarters in Moorestown, N.J.
Newberg cited the development of advanced electronics and solar-panel technology as factors driving the growth.
Among recent developments:
•New York City is in the middle of a six-month trial of a "PARK Smart" program in Greenwich Village, says Scott Gastel, a spokesman for the city's Department of Transportation (DOT). The meter rates go up from $1 per hour to $2 per hour during the busiest part of the day to try to increase turnover, he says.
•Los Angeles replaced 6,000 parking meters last year with about 1,000 multispace stations that take credit cards or cash and can be reserved by cellphone, says Bruce Gillman, a spokesman for the city's DOT.
•Chicago signed a $1.15 billion deal in December with Chicago Parking Meters, a private company, that creates incentives for the expansion of cashless parking systems, according to Ed Walsh, spokesman for the city's Department of Revenue.
•San Francisco is about to install underground sensors that tell whether a vehicle is parked in a space. Then, meters in 6,000 of the city's 24,000 parking spaces will make it possible for motorists to find parking spaces online from their cellphones, says Judson True, of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
•Washington, D.C., has installed multispace smart meters that take credit cards or coins in six neighborhoods and plans to install more, says D.C. DOT spokeswoman Karyn LeBlanc.
"They are more convenient. I don't have to go back out and pay again because I pick the time amount I want to park for," says Scott Joiner of Annapolis, Md.
•Denver, which already has a "cash key" pre-paid meter system in which motorists insert a key-like device into a meter to pay for parking time, is trying out solar-powered meters that take credit and debit cards as well as coins, according to Christine Downs, a spokeswoman for the city's Public Works Department.
Portland, Ore., one of the smart-meter pioneers, saw an increase of more than $2 million in parking revenue between 2002 and 2005 after replacing its more than 7,000 meters with 1,130 multispace meters, according to Randy McCourt of DKS Associates, a transportation planning and engineering firm. "Any community that's got a substantive stock of parking meters, I would highly encourage it," McCourt says.

In my opinion, the current default. Note that it is possible to change the
titles, but you have to use a language other than English and customize it
(for example English2). Still doesn't change the sentence variables, though.

Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Growby Elizabeth Lesser
During times of transition, amid everyday stress, and even/i>
"If we can stay awake when our lives are changing, secrets will be revealed to us—secrets about ourselves, about the nature of life, and about the eternal source of happiness and peace that is always available, always renewable, already within us."
During times of transition, amid everyday stress, and even when we face seemingly insurmountable adversity, life offers us a choice: to turn away from change or to embrace it; to shut down or to be broken open and transformed. In the more than twenty-five years since she cofounded the Omega Institute—now the world's largest personal-growth and spiritual retreat center—Elizabeth Lesser has been an intimate witness to the ways in which human beings deal with change, loss, and difficulty. She herself has struggled to submit to what she calls the "Phoenix Process"— allowing herself to be broken open in order to rise like the mythical bird from the ashes of past mistakes and suffering.
In this beautifully written, often funny, and always inspiring book, Lesser has gathered together true stories about ordinary people who by design or disaster decided to step boldly into a fuller life. Here are profoundly moving narratives of fears overcome and risks taken; of hard times and difficult passages; of betrayal, divorce, sickness, and death; and of the day-to-day challenges of raising children, earning a living, and growing older. By sharing her own most human traits, Lesser helps us feel less lonely in our own struggles, and more optimistic about the possibility of transformation. Broken Open also introduces us to some of the world's greatest spiritual teachers—both ancient and living—and imparts the wisdom of various traditions, from Buddhist meditation to Sufi dance, and from Christian prayer to contemporary psychotherapy. Eminently practical, Lesser provides tools to support us in our quest for a clearer sense of purpose and a new passion for life.
Broken Open is not only a testament to the inner richness and potential of every life but also a deeply trustworthy guide to the dynamics of healing and growth—how we resist and how we surrender, how we stay stuck and how we grow, and how we can turn misfortune into insight, and grief into joy. It helps us to discover within ourselves a fearless heart, a clear mind, and a shining soul.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
—Caroline Myss, author of Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit
"Elizabeth Lesser bravely and beautifully explores one of the most compelling questions of life: How do we emerge from suffering and challenge with real, encompassing wisdom and love? Broken Open is personal, pragmatic, and enlightening."
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Faith: Trusting Your Own Deepest Experience
"Rich in food for philosophical mastication, and sparkling in their stylistic clarity, the true-life stories in Broken Open are both entertaining and enlightening."
—Tom Robbins, author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Still Life with Woodpecker, and Villa Incognito
"Insightful reflections...Reminiscent of Rachel Naomi Remen's books (e.g. Kitchen Table Wisdom), the book is gentle in tone without falling into sentimentality an clear without being dogmatic or simplistic."
—Library Journal
"Never again will a painful experience break me down. Instead, I'll use Elizabeth's book to help me bread open into greater strength, acceptance, and awakening."
—Jane Fonda, actress, activist, and author of My Life So Far

What Einstein Knew
No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. —Albert Einstein
When Route 25 leaves the mountains of northern New Mexico, the city of Albuquerque appears suddenly like a mirage—a slice of strip-mall America shimmering on a flat shelf of ancient desert. In all my years of visiting friends in New Mexico, I had not ventured into Albuquerque. I had passed by it many times, on my way to and from the airport, but never had a reason to turn off the highway until one afternoon, when I went looking for a psychic whose card had been given to me by a friend in Santa Fe. This was during the first difficult days of being separated from my husband of fourteen years, a time when people who tried to help me would eventually give up, too frustrated to continue following me around a maze with no exit. The day before I left my friend's house, she handed me the business card of a psychic and said, "Don't ask. Just go."
The front side of the card read,
Name: The Mouthpiece of Spirit Location: The Road of Truth
I found more helpful directions on the other side, where three rules were printed:
1. Pay Only in Cash. 2. Bring a Blank Tape. 3. Do Not Hold Me Responsible for Your Life.
And then the address, which led me through dusty, treeless streets, past a few warehouses and truck lots, to a trailer park on a forlorn road a couple of miles from the airport. The place looked like a bad movie set—several old trailers and dilapidated outbuildings, discarded automobiles, and a dog tied to a clothesline. At a dead end I came upon the last trailer in the park, set off under a gnarled tree strung with flashing Christmas lights. Rechecking the directions, I was alarmed to discover that this indeed was The Road of Truth, the home of The Mouthpiece of Spirit.
On the steps of the trailer things got even weirder. The psychic met me at the door. She had the most hair I had ever seen—piles of bleached blond tresses arranged in a beehive on top of her head. She was wearing a red-and-white-checked cowgirl shirt, white stretch pants, and high-heeled sandals. Her eyes were clear and blue, and her nails were painted bright red to match her dangling, heart-shaped earrings. She seemed surprised to see me, as if I hadn't called earlier in the morning to confirm the appointment, as if she wasn't a psychic at all. After I established what I was doing on the steps of her trailer, she invited me in, asking me to excuse the mess. We stepped over boxes, books, magazines, and bags of pet food and potato chips. On the couch, watching TV, was a man—perhaps the psychic's husband—and a big white poodle with plastic barrettes in its hair. Neither seemed to notice me as the psychic led us to her bedroom.
The psychic sat on a king-size bed that took up most of the space in the room. She motioned to me to sit on a folding chair in the corner. I could still get out of this, I thought, as I squeezed behind the bed to sit on the chair. But before I could say anything, the psychic announced in a no-nonsense tone, "You have something in your purse for me. Something from your husband. A letter." Her voice was dusky—a smoker's voice—but it also had a regional twang, making her sound like a Texas Mae West. In fact she reminded me of Mae West, and I wondered what the hell I was doing, in a trailer near the Albuquerque airport, asking for life direction from Mae West.
"So, do you have a letter in your purse or not?" demanded the psychic.
"No, I don't," I stammered, defensively. "I don't usually carry letters in my purse."
"I am quite sure you have something, something from your husband, in your purse." Her voice softened some, and I suddenly realized that I did have a letter from my husband in my purse—a letter that spelled out the sad jumble of our marriage and revealed to me all the reasons for staying in it, as well as all the reasons for leaving. I had brought the letter with me to show my friend, to see if she could interpret it in a more definitive way, but I had forgotten all about it and never showed it to her. Instead, I had spent my time in Santa Fe doing exactly what Albert Einstein warns people with problems not to do. No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it, he writes. In other words, don't try to solve a problem using the same mixed-up thinking that got you into the mess in the first place. You will just keep swimming around in tight little circles of indecision and fear.
I had been in a state of indecision about my marriage for so long that my ability to move in either direction had atrophied. I had recalculated the reasons for staying and the reasons for leaving over and over, like Einstein struggling with an equation that never quite added up. Something told me I would not find my way out of this quandary using the same old arguments, but I didn't know where to look for a new perspective. It was as if I was underwater, swimming around and around in darkness. Far above me, beyond the weight of an ocean of worries, a ray of light was pointing in a luminous, new direction, but I was too distracted to notice. I was caught in waves of conflicting questions: Would I ruin my children's lives by getting divorced? Or was it worse for them to live with unhappy parents? Was I a dreamer, looking for an elusive happiness that real life could never deliver? Or were we meant to know the rapture of being alive, even at the cost of breaking the rules? The questions ebbed and flowed, back and forth, an endless exchange with no answers, no winners, just a worn-out swimmer.
How was I to break out of my tight circle of fear into a new consciousness? How did Einstein do it? How did he quiet the admonishing, skeptical voices in his head—the ones barking bad directions—long enough to hear the steady whispers of the universe? How was he able to peer beyond himself and follow the light to the more lucid answers?
I opened my purse, and there was the letter. I leaned over the bed and gave it to the psychic. She held on to it with her eyes closed, not even opening the envelope. After a few moments she asked, "Would you like to tape the session, dear?" sounding no longer like Mae West but more like a kindly waitress at a diner. I took the blank tape out of my jacket pocket, leaned across the bed again, and gave the psychic the tape. She popped it into a tape recorder that had seen better days, pushed the record button, and the session began—an hour-long mix of wacky chatter, astute philosophy, and unexplainably accurate information about me, my husband, my children, my whole mixed-up life. She jumped around from epoch to epoch: a past life with my husband in China; the destiny of my youngest son; the next man I would marry; and the eventual "last days" of earth time.
Sitting in the corner, I felt as if I had left my body and The Mouthpiece of Spirit had taken up residence. This was the only way I could explain her sudden knowledge of my life. Otherwise, how would she have known that I had a letter from my husband in my purse? How, just from holding on to that letter, did she know that my marriage was crumbling? She sat cross-legged on the bed, squeezing her eyes shut, clutching the letter, mumbling to herself: "He wanted to leave, but now he's changed his mind. Hmmm." She fluttered her eyelids, then shut them tight again. "He's desperate to come back, but now she wants to leave. She feels guilty; he is angry. Okay, okay," she whispered, as she opened her eyes and studied the return address.
"Rick-shaw, Rick-shaw," she drawled, mispronouncing my husband's last name in her Texas twang. Closing her eyes again, she said, "I see you pulling a rickshaw. I see you serving your husband in China. He is a nobleman; you are his servant girl. You have served him in many lifetimes. You served him then, and you hid yourself. You serve him now, and still you hide yourself. Still you do not claim your power. Do you understand?"
I nodded my head. Regardless of her dubious methodology of determining past lives, I did understand how I gave away power to my husband, how I resented him for steering our marriage, how I had so little trust in my own voice.
"Well, it is time to break the cycle. For you and for him. But you must be the one to do it. You must take back your power. Do you understand?"
"It's complex," I complained. "It's not his fault that I lack confidence and he doesn't."
She looked at me hard. "Write this down," she said, tossing me a pen and a pad of paper with a border of little bluebirds and flowers. "Those with power never willingly concede their control. Do you understand? Your husband will never, ever be able to let you grow into who you are supposed to be. It is not in your karmic contract. It's not a matter of fault. The truth is that, in order to find yourself, you must leave him. This is your quest. And in order for your husband to find himself, he must lose you. Y'all have lessons to learn—lessons that are more important than the marriage itself. The soul comes to earth to learn lessons, not to get married, or stay married, or to take this job or that job. You have been asking the wrong question. It's not whether or not to stay married. The question," she said, leaning closer to me, "is what lesson does your soul want to learn? Do you know?"
What lesson did my soul want to learn? I liked this question. It was new. Right then and there I felt it pointing me in a different direction. I felt it leading me up toward the light.
"Well, I'll tell you then," the psychic said when I didn't answer. "Your lesson in this lifetime is to find and trust your own precious voice. Your husband has his own lessons to learn. You cannot help each other on your quests anymore as husband and wife. Write that down. His grief at your leaving is also his fear of losing the power he has had for lifetimes. Those days are over for him, and he is in turmoil. But if you are to help him on his soul's quest, you will leave him. It is your job—your sacred contract—to free him, and to free yourself. Write that down too."
She sat patiently as I scrawled her astonishing speech on the little pad of paper. When I was done, she explained that human beings were coming into "the last days." This period of earth time could extend for a decade, or a century, or more. She didn't know; but things were speeding up and people were finally learning that only those who love themselves can love others, that only people who claim their own voice can hear the true song of another.
"It is time for you to answer the call of your soul," the psychic said emphatically. "It's calling, but you're too scared to listen. You think you know what's important, but you don't. You think it's important to keep things safe, but that's neither here nor there. What's important in this life is to learn the soul lessons.
"My dear," she said with great tenderness, "what feels like such a painful loss now will become something beautiful later on. You cannot escape your destiny. You can certainly try. People do so every day. They hold on tight, and the river just dries up.
"Now, I have more things to tell you," she said, handing back my husband's letter.
"But wait," I said. "Can I ask you another question?"
"Just one," she answered, looking at her watch.
"What about my children? I don't want to ruin their lives. Don't kids need a stable family and a safe—"
The psychic interrupted me with a wave of her hand and said, "Phooey. You're not listening. Your children are fine. They are telling me that if you are strong, then they are safe. If you are sure-footed, they are stable. That is all. We're moving on now." I wanted to ask her more about my husband, my kids, my fear, my grief, but she was done with that subject. "Just look at your notes," she said. "That's all you need to know. You married your husband for soul reasons then; you're leaving him for soul reasons now. You're on The Road of Truth, my dear. You've put the truck in forward, but you're looking out of the rearview mirror. It's a dangerous way to drive, you know. If you choose to stay with your husband, you will be living in dead time. Dead time. If you leave, you'll be born again. As my mother said, 'Things may get worse before they get better, but they'll only get better if you let them get worse.' " She chuckled and closed her eyes.
Quite suddenly, she sat up straight on the bed and shook her head so that her earrings made a tinkling sound. "Now I am getting a name vibration," she announced. "Yes, I am getting a name vibration, and it is T-O-M," she said, spelling out the name. "The name vibration is Tom. Do you have a Tom in your life?"
I almost fell off the chair. I certainly did have a T-O-M in my life; in fact, I had three Toms in my life. In the past year, I had gone from being a most serious and principled wife and mother to being the kind of woman who had three other men in her life, all of them named Tom! The first was a man with whom I was having a doomed love affair. The second was a novelist I had never met but whose letters and phone calls were sources of mirth and sweetness in an otherwise desperate life. And the third was a man I had recently met. Although we had talked to each other only a few times, this new Tom seemed to know me, to see me, all of me—the part of me that was a big mess, and the part that was beginning to come out from behind the shadows. He wasn't frightened by my messy self, or my liberated self. I had never before met anyone quite like him. His personality was less dense than those of most people I knew. Perhaps this was because he had been born in a little town in West Texas, where the sky is a lot less confining than in New York, or maybe it was due to the fact that he was several steps ahead of me on the divorce path. His wife had left him a few years previously, taking his wealth and his young son. He had lost everything. Now he was emerging, like a phoenix from the ashes, with new wings and an open heart.

What an inspiring book for anyone working through change. Some of the author's ideas are too "out there," sure. But weed out what you need to using your own faith as a guide, and learn from the rest. This book reminds the reader you're not alone, your experiences aren't unique, and there are answers to help you rise from the ashes of an experience that may have left you broken, broken hearted or simply scattered. I didn't want to put this book down.
This book has taken me to depths of my own life that I dared to enter. This is the book for any person wanting to be human. I am forever in love with this book. I have never wanted to restart a book before I even got to the middle! Every single chapter has touched my life. I have passed it on to friends having their own personal healing, change, freedom etc.
bought this book on a whim after my father's death. so much of this book and the experiences of elizabeth and her patients speak to my heart. any one going through a difficult period in life for whatever reason should read this book. you're not alone.
I was going through some issues in my marriage and form reading this book has help me to relax and release alot of the stuff. I would inform everyone whoI come in contact with to pick up a copy. Better yet loan them my copy. This book give me other books to read as well I really appreciated the author for writing such a great book.
Elizabeth Lesser has the ability to reach into one's very soul with her unique touch of wisdom and grace. She shares from the heart and will deeply touch yours! She is helping me to heal on very deep levels!
It's is hard to not like this book. It's one of those books that reminds us that when life hands us lemons that we should make lemonade. I just love it. For anyone who still feels bound by their anger, guilt, hurt or pain, I also recommend "When God Stopped Keeping Score." I thought that the book was just about forgiveness, I soon learned, it was about so much more than that. I was about how you should deal with friends, family and yourself and more importantly, how to keep these relationships strong when things go wrong. Having read it, I feel like a better person. Maybe because this book spoke to me and not down to me. I have read a lot of books that was written like I didn't know anything. What the author of "When God Stopped Keeping Score" does is talk to you like a friend. I needed that. You will understand why when you read it.
Difficult times always provide us an opportunity to explore our own character and value system.
Recommended by my supervisor at work many times over the past year. Finally bought the book in May, decided I was ready for the journey, started reading it, and then realized that my sisters needed it too! Later bought a copy for my teenage niece who has been struggling with depression, and then decided to add my mother and aunts to the "book club" as well.
this book is very isperational. it really touched me personaly. it brings you clarity on issues in our lives that are really hard to get through.i recommend this book to anyone who has lost someone special or to anyone who is willing to admit they have difficult times in there life.

"Comedy is as cathartic, as cleansing, as tragedy. That such poetry should exist at all should fill us with wonder and awe and make us laugh out loud. . . . A little bit of Fink's poetry goes a long way. "Motel / with permanent no- / vacancy scowl: chipped latex." The exactitude of that, corrosive. A benchmark. Measure it against poets who subtract rather than add to the language. It's an ethical imperative for me." –Jonathan Mayhew
"Today after this all-you-can-eat buffet of conventional verse, Fink hit the spot-the standard American rhetoric is in there, and the torquing verges on Bruce Andrewsesque, but it's so cheerful when it comes from Fink, I don't care about anything besides which crazy word he's going to plug into the grid next."–Jordan Davis
"What's left after taxes usually causes heartburn: so much effort for so little return! But in Thomas Fink's After Taxes, 'pogo loam' becomes a symbol for a result that "exceeds forecast." An "impossible swell/persists" –especially admirable in the longer poems—and it is music ever-ascending and all the more rewarding for the craft made visible by extraordinary diction. Fink's poems discover sounds that had been veiled by contexts and meanings. Thus, 'a vase/ smash rage' and not the other way around as would be assumed by a lackadaisical culture. For as Fink notes, 'There [was] something new/ and learned/ before you read/ the page' and he determined to excavate. The rewards are ours if we recognize what this collection craftily and craft-fully achieves: bypassing the binary of operatic ornamentation or matter-of-fact tones to encompass both, thus effecting a 21st century Song."–Eileen R. Tabios
"After taxes, when most of us feel fleeced, Thomas Fink opens his secret accounts. The wealth of his world is acoustic, and endless, and available to all. By turns observant and inventive, these poems find the parts of our lives beyond all tithes, turning our obligations and debts into freedom and abundance. No one listens like this poet does, or so shows us the hidden worth of our words."–Joseph Donahue
On Gossip: A Book of Poems:
"Reading Thomas Fink's Gossip leaves you giddy and satiated, just like a good 'dirt' session should! Fink collages fractured dialogue, political farce, pop song lyrics, and tabloid tidbits to make his deliberate music and "tactful oomph." The poems utilizing the crazy and gorgeous "found speech" of a child are pure delight, elevating chitchat to new poetic heights. I, for one, can confirm this rumor: Fink's Gossip is one amazing read."—Denise Duhamel
Thomas Fink's astonishing, subtle poems will delight readers and teach them about rich layers of thinking and storytelling. Fink is writing delightful, important poems. —Joseph Lease
Thomas Fink is author of two previous poetry collections, Surprise Visit, and Gossip: A Book of Poems, as well as two books of literary criticism. His work has been published in American Poetry Review, Talisman, American Book Review, Verse, and elsewhere. His paintings are in private collections.

Let the holiday season be one of ease, peacefulness, and a time for healing. This is our time to gather with loved ones, give and share with others, and reflect upon all the blessings that have come into our lives during the past year.
One way to honor ourselves is to nourish our bodies with wholesome foods. All too often, the end of the year has become a time for slacking off. We may justify this by making a New Year's resolution to start dieting. This often leads to disappointment and unsustainable expectations. I think a better way to facilitate a positive outcome is to reframe the way we look at food, diet and health.
My philosophy is the 90/10 diet — eat 90 percent wholesome foods and the remaining 10 percent for indulging in your greatest food pleasures. Here you get the best of both worlds; you are not depriving yourself of the foods you love.
Despite its bad reputation, fat is actually an essential nutrient to keep healthy. The typical American diet is typically too rich in Omega-6 fats, which cause weight gain, inflammation in our body and cardiovascular distress. However, when we add Omega-3 essential fatty acids to our diets, we actually regulate our metabolism and improve our health. Foods high in Omega-3 are wild salmon, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds and naturally raised grass-fed beef.
With holiday treats surrounding us, it's easy to experience a sugar overload. A wonderful, healthy sugar alternative is raw dark agave nectar, locally harvested in Southern Arizona. Agave is delicious as a tea sweetener and can replace the sugar in many dessert recipes. Another healthy, low calorie sugar alternative is yacon syrup, derived from South America's yacon root. Though packed with sweetness, yacon sugar can't be absorbed in the body, which makes it safe for diabetics. It supports immunity, aids in absorption of vitamins, and promotes a healthy digestive system.
Both agave and yacon have distinct tastes, and can't always replace the sugar that is called for in your holiday desserts. For those times, I recommend buying sucanat sugar, which is sugar in its most natural form.
For the indulgent times during this holiday season, ginger tea and digestive enzymes can be your saviors from stomach pains. Ginger is one of the best remedies for gastrointestinal distress and digestive enzymes will help your body break down and assimilate foods easier.
May your holiday season be one filled with wholesome, nourishing, flavorful treats, and a time to explore new foods.
Please check with your doctor prior to making any significant changes to your diet and/or lifestyle as these may require a change to your current medical regimen.

Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) is guilty of money laundering, according to a Texas jury. It's been a Long Time Coming. (The wheels of justice rotate slowly.) Given that the illegal contributions occurred in 2002, it's probably worthwhile providing a little backstory.
Note: it's been illegal in Texas since 1903 for corporations to give money to candidates directly or indirectly. [Aside: one assumes this was set-aside in the recent US Supreme Court ruling, BIANAL.]
In April 2005, the Washington Post reported that legal experts believed that privately paid trips abroad for DeLay and family members meant he is in "serious danger of being declared in violation of House ethics rules."
In June 2005, Texas District Judge Joe Hart (Austin) ruled that a political action committee (PAC) established by DeLay was guilty of failing to report $600,000 in contributions, primarily from corporations. Five Democrats who lost elections in 2002 had filed suit against the PAC, Texans for a Republican Majority (TRM-PAC). The PAC helped Republicans gain control over the legislature for the first time since the Civil War. DeLay was not a party to this suit; however, his actions related to TRM-PAC have been under investigation by the Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle (Austin-D) since January 2003.
In August 2005, Federal Election Commission audit found that Americans for a Republican Majority - DeLay's "premier" political action committee, "used more unregulated 'soft' money than was allowed for fund-raising and get-out-the-vote activities" in the 2002 election.
In September 2005, DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury, becoming the first House leader indicted in a century and the highest ranking member to face criminal charges. The charge was felony criminal conspiracy involving illegal corporate political donations. He stepped down as Majority Leader, as required by House rules.
In October 2005, DeLay was indicted on two additional charges. One count was conspiracy to commit money-laundering, charging that DeLay and his associates "did knowingly, conduct, supervise, and facilitate" the transfer from Texas to Washington DC back to Texas, a violation of the state's money-laundering laws.
In November 2005, former DeLay aide Michael Scanlon -- Jack Abramoff's partner -- pled guilty to corruption charges.
The decision of former Tom DeLay aide Michael Scanlon (35) to plead guilty in a corruption case (which includes his paying $19 million in restitution) threatens to expose the nasty underbelly of money and politics. The politics of quid-pro-quo practiced by Scanlon and his partner Jack Abramoff , at least on the surface, appears to be the standard operating procedure of today's crop of Republican leaders and lobbyists (referenced by the area of Washington where most have offices, K Street).
In December 2005, the Washington Post reported on the growing web between DeLay and convicted lobbyist Abramoff, who pled guilty in January 2006 to mail fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy.
April 2006, DeLay announced he would not run for re-election and would leave Congress before the November election.
In October 2008, the Texas Association of Business pleaded guilty to an unlawful direct campaign expenditure, "six years after helping elect a slate of Republican lawmakers to the Texas Legislature."
January 2009, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle retired.
In August 2010, the Department of Justice ended its investigation of DeLay's ties to Abramoff without bringing any charges.

The Hatfields & McCoys miniseries continued to be a blockbuster for the History channel, setting a new ratings record.
Building on its first two nights, Wednesday's finale drew 14.3 million viewers. All three nights - six hours - rank as the top entertainment telecasts in ad-supported cable history, the channel says.
Monday night's start of the story of the famous feuding families - starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton - drew 13.9 million. Tuesday pulled in 13.1 million.
Notes USA TODAY's Gary Levin: The "ad-supported cable" record allows History to exclude High School Musical, which averaged 17.2 million on Aug. 17, 2007. Disney Channel doesn't sell traditional ads. And ESPN's Monday Night Football also has exceeded the Hatfields number several times.

I'll continue to tweak them as I find more efficient ways of playing. Hopefully they may be of use to someone, and if anyone has any advice on how I can improve things please let me know!
Hotbar Setup :: Rotations
Note: hovering over bright blue links will open a tooltip with a summary of the ability.
Let's start by looking at how my hotbars are set up. I have tried to set them up so that my rotations flow across the bars in order to make things a little easier to follow in the heat of combat.
Hotbar 1 - Primary Abilities
My primary non-cover combat abilities. Bound to the number row keys ("1" to "="). These are activated using the buttons on the side of my Naga mouse.
|Click to enlarge
Cover Bar - Main DPS Abilities
This is the unique hotbar that pops up when my smuggler enters cover. The keys are bounds to the number row keys ("1" to "=") again, as it replaces Hotbar 1 when cover is entered. They are activated using the buttons on the side of my Naga mouse.
|Click to enlarge
Hotbar 2 - Secondary Abilities
Bound to ALT modified number row keys ("ALT-1" to "ALT-="). These are activated using the buttons on the side my Naga mouse in conjunction with the ALT modifier key, or by pressing the ALT bound keys on my keyboard (as seen here).
|Click to enlarge
Hotbar 3 - Miscellaneous Combat Skills
These are items and skills that I may use occasionally in combat (grenades, med packs, relics, etc). They are bound to SHIFT modified number row keys ("SHIFT-1" to "SHIFT-=") and activated using the buttons on the side of my Naga mouse in conjunction with the SHIFT modifier key. The grenades are here so that I still have access to them on a hotkey ("SHIFT-7" and "SHIFT-8") whilst in cover.
|Click to enlarge
These are items and skills that have very long cool downs (long-term buffs) or are related to travel (fleet pass, speeder bike, etc). They are not hotkeyed as I don't need to use them in combat.
|Click to enlarge
These are the rotations I commonly use in combat. I do not stick to them rigidly, but try to adapt to how the encounter is proceeding, using interrupts for example where required.
Rotation 1 - Start of combat
I try and attack mobs so that there is some natural cover to roll in to if possible. I will Take Cover (using a hotkey) at any point before I reach stage 4 of this rotation. Note that your companion will not start attacking until you reach stage 4 unless you manually instruct them to.
- Flourish Shot - for armour reduction
- Vital Shot - 15 second duration dot (damage-over-time)
- Smuggler's Luck - ensures Charged Burst will critical
- Charged Burst - dps ability, will fire instantly if two points in Snap Shot on Sharpshooter tree
- Trickshot - dps ability
- Aimed Shot - should have reduced activation time if two points in Quick Aim on Sharpshooter tree due to critical Charged Burst
- Trickshot - if off cooldown; dps ability
- Speed Shot - dps abilty
- Quickdraw - if mob is below 30% health, otherwise Flurry of Bolts if energy is below 60%, otherwise Sabotage Charge if other abilities on cooldown, otherwise begin standard dps rotation (see below)
Fill in with Flurry of Bolts if energy falls below 60%
- Flourish Shot - if off cooldown, for armour reduction
- Vital Shot - if the dot is no longer active on the enemy mob
- Smuggler's Luck - if off cooldown to ensure Charged Burst will critical
- Charged Burst - dps ability, will fire instantly if two points in Snap Shot on Sharpshooter tree
- Trickshot - dps ability
- Aimed Shot - if Quick Aim is up, i.e. if Charged Burst criticals
- Trickshot - if off cooldown
- Speed Shot - dps ability
- Sabotage Charge- dps ability with stun and dot for normal targets
- Quickdraw - if mob is below 30% health
- Begin rotation again
When going up against a group of melee combatants a smuggler can get overwhelmed and it is difficult to keep them all at range. Here is a rotation I use when I'm forced into close-range combat.
If I am in melee combat with only a single mob:
- Dirty Kick - because it stuns the mob and it still makes me grin
- Cheap Shot - instant high dps ability with no energy cost, can be used when enemy is stunned from Dirty Kick
- Blaster Whip - dps ability
- then move on to group melee opponents rotation below
- Take Cover - if not already in cover
- Pulse Detonator - blasts mobs back by several metres and stuns them
- Throw Cybertech grenades (Pyro/Firestorm grenades are the best AoE ones)
- Thermal Grenade
- Leg Shot - by this time the stun from Pulse Detonator will have ended, Leg Shot will immobilise target for a further 5 seconds
- Defense Screen - damage absorb
- Switch target to a different mob in the group
- Continue with normal dps rotation
There are a couple of other small rotations I tend to use as the situation dictates.
For moments of panic when I'm up against a tough opponent and can't get any healing Dodge > dps ability > Defense Screen > Cool Head > All In gets used.
Of course I use my medpacks, relics and interrupts as required (interrupts and relics tend to get used a lot on boss mobs).
Anyway, those are the rotations that work for me and I can put out a good load of damage. I tend to spend most of my time playing in small groups with my wife or guild members, but these rotations seem to work pretty well for soloing too.

CLEVELAND: Lester Hudson had 25 points off the bench, including 14 in the fourth quarter and the Cavaliers used an early explosion in the fourth quarter to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 103-90, handing them their 13th consecutive loss.
The Bobcats held a lead in the second half for the first time in three games, but the Cavaliers scored 10 consecutive points over a 2 ½ minute stretch early in the fourth quarter to take command.
Luke Walton and Omri Casspi hit consecutive 3-pointers to end the burst and give the Cavs an 82-73 lead that grew throughout the fourth quarter.
Hudson, playing on his second 10-day contract, has scored 74 points in his last three games.
Anthony Parker returned after missing two games with a bruised sternum to score 19 points and Antawn Jamison had 17 points despite shooting 7 of 19.
The Cavs have won two of three, while the Bobcats fall to 3-25 on the road.

NEW HAVEN, CT- Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead in game one, the Merrimack College softball team (10-13) dropped a pair of road games to Southern Connecticut State University (20-8) Saturday afternoon on Pelz Field.
Game one ended at 6-3 while game two was an eight-run rule in the fifth inning, 8-0.
"Our bats were unusually quiet today and Southern certainly hit the ball well," said head coach Elaine Schwager. "We just had a tough day finding any rhythm, but we're looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow against New Haven.
Sophomore Monique Gosselin (Lawrence, MA) got the Warriors offense clicking with a two-run double to left center in the third inning, but three hits and as many runs from the Owls in inning two gave the home team the lead for good.
In game one, Kristen Lemay (Shrewsbury, MA) went 3-for-3, but could not round the bases to score.
"Kristen played great today and was solid on both sides of the ball," said Schwager.
Sophomore Alex Gallant (Salem, NH) and freshman Kelli Jo Deardorff (Bedford, MA) split the six innings of game one, allowing four hits and three runs each.
In game two, Merrimack amassed only three hits, while Southern Connecticut went off for 11 hits and eight runs, including four runs in the first inning off six hits.
One bright spot of the nightcap was sophomore Amanda Zanni (Reading, MA) from the plate.
"Amanda did a great job working the count and going 2-for-2 in game two," said Schwager. "As a team, we'll all have to bring our bats tomorrow against New Haven."
The Warriors only other hit was in the third inning from Jamie Millett (Hudson, MA) to center field before she stole her sixth base of the season.
The Warriors are back in action on Sunday against the top-ranked Chargers of New Haven (22-2, 12-0 NE-10) in West Haven, Connecticut for a 12:00pm doubleheader.

Anthony Shadid (1968 - 2012)
Ed Ou for The New York Times
Anthony Shadid, 43, a gifted foreign correspondent for The New York Times who covered nearly two decades of Middle East turmoil, died on Feb. 16, 2012, apparently of an asthma attack, while on a reporting assignment in Syria.
Mr. Shadid had been reporting inside Syria, gathering information on the Free Syrian Army and other armed elements of the resistance to the government of President Bashar al-Assad, whose military forces have been engaged in a harsh repression of the political opposition in a year-long conflict.
Tyler Hicks, a Times photographer who was with Mr. Shadid, carried his body across the border to Turkey. Mr. Hicks said that Mr. Shadid, who had asthma and carried medication with him, began to show symptoms as both of them were preparing to leave Syria, and the symptoms escalated into what became a fatal attack.
For the full news article, click here.
Mr. Shadid was the Beirut bureau chief for The Times. Before joining the paper, Mr. Shadid served as the Baghdad bureau chief of The Washington Post. Over his career, he reported from most countries in the Middle East.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting twice: in 2004 for his coverage of the United States invasion of Iraq and the occupation that followed and in 2010 for his coverage of Iraq as the United States began its withdrawal. In 2007, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Lebanon. He received the American Society of Newspaper Editors' award for deadline writing (2004), the Overseas Press Club's Hal Boyle Award for best newspaper or wire service reporting from abroad (2004), and the George Polk Award for foreign reporting (2003). On Feb. 19, 2012, he was honored with a special George Polk Award "for extraordinary valor for his work in the Middle East."
He was one of four Times journalists, including Mr. Hicks, who were captured by Libyan government forces in March 2011 while covering the fighting in the eastern city of Ajdabiya. They were released six days later.
Mr. Shadid wrote three books. "Legacy of the Prophet: Despots, Democrats and the New Politics of Islam" was published by Westview Press in December 2000. "Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War" was published in September 2005 by Henry Holt. His third book, "House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family and a Lost Middle East," is being published in February by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Good evening. I'll be assisting you with your question.
do you have any question about what I am trying to find out?
No, I'm just looking a few things up.
What county is this in?
The application would have been filed with the court, but it is under seal for now.
Do you plan to have a hearing on this?
this was in dec 2012. there was no hearing that I was aware of. during any of this
Oh. This isn't a current case?
No, this is being investgated because of the departmental policies used and the conduct of the officer involved so I am looking to try and find a confirmation that the application was even filed.
If this matter was not litigated, and you were not the person who was the target of the order, it will be very difficult to obtain. Mental health records - even in an affidavit of this nature - are almost impossible to obtain since it involves private mental health information.
However, if the officer witnessed something happening, he should have written a separate report, which you could obtain using an open records request.
The application and order would normally be sealed. If there were not, they would be with the judge that issued the order.
As a person who was the target of the order can they obtain these records?
That person could petition the court to unseal the records. The court may do so for "good cause" shown.
I really appreciate the information.
Glad to help. Do you have any questions?
You answered this one, but I do have another should I close this and start another question since it is different?
If it pertains to a different matter, yes. However, you can direct it to me by posting your question here.
I will do that
OK. Great. If there isn't anything else I can do for you on this question, please remember to "rate" my answer.
