text: PESHAWAR - Leader of the Opposition in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan Abbasi on Wednesday strongly criticised the officials of UNICEF for their private visits to the house of PTI Chairman Imran Khan in connection to prevision of funds for the Sehat Ka Insaf programme. In a statement issued here, he said that there were reports of embezzlement in the funds provided to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government by the UNICEF. He said that before the local government elections, releases of funds were tantamount to interference of the UN officials in the political affairs of Pakistan. He said that it was responsibility of the UNICEF officials to investigate the embezzlement in the funds but instead they conduct visits to the house of Imran Khan for discussing future line of action. He said that funds given by the WHO and UNICEF were not the personnel donation of any person but these were international funds for the children of any affected country. He said as per the rules and regulations, the officials should hand over the amount to finance minister and then deposit to national exchequer. "These funds should be used through health department via proper channel," he added. He maintained that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa finance minister has also raised several questions regarding the purpose of these funds and the coalition partners in the KP government were not on the same page on the issue and there were severe concerns among the opposition members regarding the transparency of Sehat Ka Insaf programme.He questioned that the UNICEF and WHO must clear their positions whether these funds have been handed over for political purpose or for eradication of polio and other children diseases. He also questioned whether the contract of purchase of necessary items was announced through open tenders or was given to their blue-eyed people. He appealed to the WHO and UNICEF to abstain itself from interference in the affairs of the country political affairs as it would tarnish the image of these reputed organisations across the country.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are perennial clumps with leaves, a crown, flowers and roots. They originate from China, Japan and Korea and currently there are more than 60,000 registered cultivars, many with fragrant flowers. Daylilies start blooming in late June and continue right on through July. The blooms only last 24 hours, then die allowing new blooms to take their place right on the same stem. The fact that they die so quickly is why they are never used as a "cut-flower" in floral arrangements.
The yellow daylilies that you see along the highways and near railroad tracks are actually known as the Tawny Daylily, imported from England during the 17th century. This lily started out as a garden lily but soon spread to everywhere and now many people think of it as a "native" wildflower.
Daylilies range in colors from yellow, orange and pale pink to reds, purple and lavenders…and even greenish tones, almost black and white. But no one has ever come out with any lilies in shades of blue, although there is a variety with a spot of cobalt blue. Besides colors, other considerations include height, scent and ruffled edges.
After 3 years or so, daylily clumps should be dug up and divided back to clumps of 3 shoots then re-planted in the ground for the following season. Usually this is done in early September and by doing this division during late summer, you can be sure you will have bigger and better daylilies next summer. Most active greenhouse growers always plant daylilies as well as hosta, iris and perennial hibiscus in September so that you, the customer, get the best plants in the spring.

| I must add my voice to those who are urging the FDA to stop pharmaceutical companies from false advertising. At a minimum, if the FDA is going to continue to allow direct to consumer advertising it ought to be responsible enough to require them to be truthful. In fact, the entire direct to consumer advertising experiment has proven to be a huge debacle with very serious negative health results and such advertising should be re- banned.

The R2-D2 Home Theater System. at Hammacher Schlemmer
About a year ago, Hammacher Schlemmer debuted an R2-D2 robot. But while cute and responsive to all sorts of commands, he wasn't much more than a novelty. Their latest R2-D2 is a lot more functional. His head holds a DLP projection system that can project movies, TV shows, images, and video games from his radar eye at 1024 x 768 resolution. One of his mechanical arm housings in the front of his body has a DVD/CD player and his anterior vents rotate to reveal a docking station that fits most iPods so you can play music or videos through his two 20-watt built-in speakers. He has a variety of other audio and video related functions and comes with a mounted model of the Millennium Falcon that conceals a remot
I can't attest to what the experience of using this would be, as i've never used it. However, the concept seems great.Tags: dvd, ipod, movies, film, tv, screen, portable, home theaters, widescreenAdded 9 Years Ago from Hammacher Schlemmer

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!
My fiance was on probation and was locked up for failing a drug test. I was told that a new law was passed called The Technical Violation Law that states that if a person did not commit a violate crime they should not be locked up more than 90 days. Is this true and if so how can I find out more about this law?
Act 2010-753, limiting incarceration in the penitentiary for eligible offenders revoked from probation due to technical violations and providing retroactive relief to certain inmates serving time following a technical probation violation revocation, became law April 30, 2010.
Since this Act had an immediate effective date, persons designated eligible probationers whose revocation hearings are held on or April 30, 2010, or any eligible inmate incarcerated based solely on a technical probation violation, imprisonment must be limited to no more than 90 days in the penitentiary or, if no space is available in a DOC facility, not more than 90 days in the county jail.
The provisions of §15-22-54 continue to provide that courts should not revoke probation and order confinement for probation violations "unless the court finds on the basis of the original offense and the probationer's intervening conduct that . . . no measure short of confinement will adequately protect the community from further criminal activity by the probationer and … no measure short of confinement will avoid depreciating the seriousness of the violation."
Eligible Offenders: Pending Probation Revocation
A nonviolent felon (to be determined by the sentencing judge) serving a probationary sentence who:
1) Has violated a condition of probation other than by the commission of a new offenses; and
2) Has complied with the conditions of probation (including remaining current on payment of court ordered monies) for a consecutive six-month period.
State Inmates Eligible for Retroactive Application
A nonviolent felon (to be determined by the sentencing judge) serving a prison sentence based on revocation of probation who:
1) Incarceration is the result of only a technical violation (any violations of the conditions of probation, other than the commission of a new criminal offense); and
2) Successfully completed the terms of probation for six consecutive months (including remaining current on payment of court ordered monies); and
3) Had no disciplinary infractions while serving the sentence in the penitentiary; and
4) Has no pending charges or convictions for a new offense.
Alternatives: Act 2010-753 expressly provides that in lieu of revoking probation for technical violators, courts may continue the existing probation and add additional conditions that the offender:
1. Participates in a community corrections program.
2. Participates in a county work release program.
3. Performs community service.
4. Undergoes intensive probation supervision.
5. Participates in a residential or out-patient drug or alcohol treatment program.
6. Participates and completes a Life Skills (LIFETech) residential program"
§ 15-22-54(d)(2)(b), as amended by Act 2010-753, and
7. Abide by any order of the Court issued pursuant §15-22-54(d)(1)d.
Retroactive Application: The Act specifically grants the sentencing court jurisdiction to resentence an eligible inmate incarcerated based on a technical violation upon submission of a petition alleging all eligibility criteria. Credit for the time incarcerated upon revocation shall be credited against the original sentence. If the petitioner is eligible for resentencing and has not served the term of the original sentence, the court may place the defendant on probation for the remaining suspended sentence and require any of the alternatives listed above as a condition of probation. The term of probation may not exceed the maximum of 5 years permitted by law. See, Rule 27 Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure.Ask a similar question

Behind every success of business companies are the effective working process of service professionals including business administrators, managers, and casual employees. Business services involve a broad range of working operations that help businesses in delivering products to the end users. They are often described as the moving forces that support business productivity but do not engage in direct manufacturing of consumer goods. Aside from the hard work of business professionals, information technology also plays an important business service component that supports other major business services in the fields of finance, delivery, and procurement.
The use of computer systems enables other business services to function effectively, making business transactions and customer assistance performed fast. Business services are now supported with IT services that can perform customer-facing operations like in the cases of online shopping and online banking. Effective management system for both company employees and IT systems leads to the ability of a business entity to become profitable. Hence, business services can be a broad term that encompasses various needs of industries, attending to the specific needs of other businesses and consumers.
Business services involve a certain degree of professional services that greatly enhance business performance and operations. Professional services is a form of occupation that requires a formal training in the field of science and technology. Some professional services require the acquisition of a license to legally practice a professional field. Professional services increase the value of business services in terms of quality performance and collective knowledge, brought by the expertise from these technical professionals. There are specific professional services being rendered for every field of industry. Some professionals provide specialized business support systems, such as tax consultants, technical advisers, and marketing researcher. Another field of expertise that could supplement the success of business services also includes a financial planner, IT consultant, investment manager, management consultants, and corporate lawyers. All are great contributors for establishing business goals and objectives.
As we all know, any business will not grow by itself without the shared expertise of business service providers. Business service providers mainly focus on business infrastructures related to human resources, building administration, finance, and product delivery. They consist of different working professionals with designated job positions, assigned as back office staff and front desk personnel. Back office covers off-site operations including technical support, human resource departments, accounting, and inbound customer services. International companies today employ offshore operations that perform outsourcing jobs based on another country to reduce operational cost. On the other hand, front desk personnel are often associated with marketing and sales because they directly deal with clients. They are expected to help companies gain more sales and handle different customer concerns at the same time.
Business services whether local or internationally-based may live or die on the service quality of their manpower. Since business services are mostly managed by casual employees on the ground, top executives and human resource people are expected to create better hiring process, job design, and performance management. Though company employees may be equipped with good incentives and training, the ideal way to motivate them is to recognize the efforts when they perform well. Aside from building the self-confidence from the employees, they may be rewarded with motivational programs, efficient working environment, and appropriate compensation packages. Business services are always an essential need to keep businesses run smooth and efficiently. However, the main challenge of sustaining a business lies in the hands of the management team on how they could keep both workforces and clients satisfaction.
Convenience-driven people often find ways on how to get things done fast and comfortable. They likely turn to those business services with a broad range of specialty. Here are some of the examples of business services that people frequently seek out.

me and a few others we admiring the tire job last week, wondering who dun it- good work, cool finish for a counter top.

On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Gian Pablo Villamil <email@example.com> wrote:

As some of you may have noticed, I finished the edge of the kitchen
 counter using old bicycle tires. This project needs to be finished by
 using silicon caulk to fill in the gap between the tire and the
 counter, which will seal it and make cleanup easier.

 I will try to get to it, but if anyone wants to have a go, there are
 two packs of black silicone caulk, a caulking gun and some alcohol for
 preparing the surface on the plastic table next to the kitchen. Need
 some masking tape as well to mark out the edge of the bead.

 Basically you want to:

 1) clean the tire and counter where the caulk will go with the alcohol
 2) lay out a line of masking tape parallel to the edge of the counter,
 about 1/8 to 1/4 inche away.
 3) lay down a bead of silicone caulk following the bike tire and the tape
 4) peel up the tape
 5) smooth the silicone - a plastic spoon or a finger dipped in soapy
 water should work

Red Dead Redemption
It's a sad state of affairs when, with a blank page and a head full of Wild West memoirs, you're suddenly affronted by the notion that nothing you can write can do justice to that which you're attempting to describe. Not because we ourselves lack the prosaic cock and balls to meet the graphical poetry of Red Dead Redemption head on with like-for-like lyrical smugness. More that, while Red Dead carries it off effortlessly, we, mere humble game hacks, come off sounding like we're trying too hard.
We could talk about sunsets; 'Aaaah', we say 'those sunsets … as sweet and orange as an orange … sky as endless as an endless sky'. We could talk about the mountains and rivers as well if you like; 'Rivers', we say, 'ah… those rivers, set betwixt the hills and yunder bridge they snake … and the mountains, the almighty mountains … stoic as a stubborn pensioner and tall as four hundred pensioners stacked one on top of the another like a giant stack of pensioners'. Okay, we're talking piss, but genuinely, this is exactly the kind of floral crud that wants desperately to burst from your face after every session with Red Dead Redemption.
Putting a stopper in that for the time being, we're still left with the problem of actually attempting to describe it for you, so to that end, we're going to take the easy way out. Up until recently many have referred to Red Dead Redemption as 'GTA IV with horses'; it's a fair description if you're on your death bed and that last lungful can only belt out four words. Outside of that, though, such simple taxonomy fails entirely to adequately describe the plethora of rich detail which saturates the game world, in a similar way, perhaps, to those who described GTA IV as 'GTA with better graphics'. Truly, if graphical sheen is the only difference you noticed, we feel just a little sorry for you. The devil is in the detail, so rather than roughly breaking down our review into a two-parter of good and bad, instead we're going to paint a picture of the game for you in broader strokes, then once you have a rough outline, fill in the specifics. A bit like painting by numbers.
You are John Marston, an outlaw with a heart. A man who used to believe himself as a kind of Robin Hood; giving to the poor, killing the rich and so on. Until one day, fellow gang member Bill Williamson shot him and left him for dead. But Marston is tough, and ruthless. And now, for reasons we won't go into, he's back in New Austen, tracking down his former crew, starting with Williamson. Williamson is rough, and toothless.
The game opens with Marston shot and left for dead once again, only to be rescued by enigmatic ranch girl Bonnie MacFarlane, who takes a romantic shine to him, albeit an unrequited one. Unusually, for Rockstar at least, whoring, flirting and philandering are strictly off the cards. Nope, Marston is a moral man. A moral man who doesn't mind killing hundreds and hundreds of people … so long as they're bad people, you understand. Or if they look at him funny.
Red Dead can – never to its detriment – at times feel like a collection of every activity, theme, character stereotype, archetype and typeface you've ever seen in a western movie. Cynically speaking, you could almost check them off down a list some thirty miles long beginning with A for Ace Of Spades and Z for the zephyrs which nudge tumbleweed across the plains. There's everything in there from train robberies – both attacking and defending – breaking in horses, lassoing, gallons of bourbon whisky, those funny little doors they have on the front of saloons, snake oil salesmen, Mexican banditos, outrageous moustaches, it just goes on and on. And in among this rich world is every character you've ever seen or heard of before in a western movie; the crazy miner guy with no teeth and an obsession with treasure, the drunken Irish sot, the respectable father, the revolutionary leader, the monstrous military sociopath, they're all there in one form or another.
And they're all stars to some extent. Rockstar's seeming refusal to put budgetary concerns ahead of quality has given us some of the finest voiceover work ever to appear in a videogame, with truly laudable spaghetti western panache.
But it's not the characters, but the world that is the game's greatest star. Rockstar's open-world current-gen engine has always been impressive ever since it first saw the light of day in GTA IV. It seems, however, that far from content to simply let the technology lie, it has come along in leaps and bounds. One thing we had not expected to see was no texture pop-in whatsoever, either faded slowly so as not to jolt our perception of three dimensional space, or otherwise. Add to this the way it handles animation, especially horses, and the combined effect of the sum is overwhelmingly impressive.
The world also offers a level of persistence previously unseen. Just one example is the way weather changes. You don't just get a sudden moody sky, followed by a torrential downpour. Instead you'll see those cumulonimbus' dark thunder head rolling slowly in from the distant horizon. Stop and watch it for twenty minutes or so; lightning rattling through its centre, misty rain hitting the distant hills, before it finally looms overhead and soaks Marston, his horse and convincingly spatters the camera. Equally, once it's past, you might take a few moments to watch the giant storm cell roll away, off into the distance to ruffle someone else's feathers. Red Dead Redemption is an unparalleled technical achievement. The PS3 version has to remain the same as that on graphically inferior hardware (360). Put that right out of your mind, though. Because even though the 360 version is perhaps more impressive for having overcome greater limitations, the two are identical, and you can rest assured, that even by the higher graphical standards of a PS3 owner, this game is still going to melt your face off.
But what is Red Dead? Because sandbox is just a general term which only covers so much ground. Is it a shooter? An RPG? A narrative continuum? The point is that it's all these things and many more besides. It's a hunting game, a gathering game, a drinking game, a card game, a driving game, a riding game, a dossing about game and many, many more.
There's not many types of game where you can propose a best way to play it, but there's definitely a knack to getting the very best out of Red Dead Redemption. For starters, life in the old West is a slow and plodding affair. Too much haste and at least some of what the game has to offer you will simply pass you by. The stranger side-quests are a great example of this. Dotted around the game world at various places and times are opportunities to help a stranger, or not. These are entirely optional, but taking on these mini-quests will eventually reap great rewards. What rewards? We can't say. We know. But we're not telling.
The weaponry in the game steadily increases in blam-factor as you progress. Marston has one slot for each weapon type, each type (pistol, rifle, lasso, dynamite and so on) can then be scrolled through manually for a specific weapon in that category. We have to say, we found this tremendously fiddly, not so much because it was too much of a handful, but that, firstly, circumnavigating the weapon wheel feels as if it's on the wrong stick (although we're prepared to admit this may be because of overuse of a similar system in Mass Effect 2), and secondly, that the action fails to pause when the weapon selection wheel is active. A bizarre decision, we feel, when it's only during scenes of high action you're going to be switching through your weapons, leading to panicked twiddling and sometimes even death. We got used to it eventually, but by eventually, we're talking a lot of hours and with it, a lot of weapon-wheel-related cock-ups.
The game also has the ability to be unsettling. We mean this in a good way; despite its cunning side-stepping of jingoistic media bleating on the subject of non-contextual whore-beating (as occurred on the periphery of previous Rockstar titles) the game is surprisingly more adult in flavour than anything the developer and publisher has previously brought to the fore. Morality is a fickle mistress to Marston. On the one hand, he's always on hand to protect the ones he loves, but on the other, he's quite happy to bow-wow with the Mexican military while they shoot women in cold blood and tumble a never-ending pile of their corpses off of the nearest cliff.
It's the dichotomy of Marston's character that brings the game perhaps its greatest strength. His unpredictable ability to either do the right thing, or not, lends a page-turning quality to the narrative that you won't find in either your typical whiter-than-white hero, or your devilish and playful antihero. Marston is both, and for that reason, even though the game offers very little in terms of the ability to control the story's overall outcome, every twist and turn becomes an unpredictable delight, and what you get up to in the periphery is still very much all your own doing.
Two main factors determine how the world around you perceives Marston; Fame and Honour (or honor, as the Americans like to misspell it). You can get famous for being good or bad and doing so will have a knock-on affect on the way you're treated by the plebeian plains-walkers and rootin' tootin' drunkards who stumble out of the town saloon. Honour on the other hand will see you either loved or feared. Honour can be earned by capturing your mark in the wanted side-quests, for example, and lost of you decide to take the easier route and simply kill him, as well as in a myriad of other activity-related scruples.
Take your time, enjoy it, soak it all in, and Red Dead Redemption is an experience unlike any other; easily the most ambitious and accomplished open world game to date.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, and I can't wait! Thanksgiving, to me, always marks the beginning of the real holiday season. It gives us a little break from everything that is going on with our lives; work, school, events, and all the things that keep us so busy.
It affords us the opportunity to take it easy for at least a couple days, relaxing with family, and a lot of times getting to see family and friends we don't have the chance to see except for during these holiday breaks.
I start to get excited for Christmas this time of year, too. A lot of people barely wait long enough to clean up from Thanksgiving dinner to break out the Christmas decorations. I love setting up the Christmas tree Thanksgiving weekend, and taking out the Christmas music collection to become the soundtrack of the next month.
But I'm getting ahead of myself because we need to focus on what's still right in front of us.
Thanksgiving Day has got to be one of the best days of the year. How great is it that we get to take an entire day to think about some of the things we are thankful for?
Thanksgiving Day alone gives us all kinds of things to be thankful for. Sleeping in, spending the morning in sweats, watching parades and football, getting ready for the rest of the day.
And let's not forget the main event, Thanksgiving dinner! It's one of the great events that we have in our society that brings families together, with everyone in the family contributing something to the meal, lending a helping hand with a side, or bringing someone's favorite pie for dessert. Thanksgiving really is all about traditions.
This year, we are very excited to start a new tradition of our own. Our annual Holly Edition will now be delivered on its own as a special Thanksgiving Day issue. It's going to have all kinds of great information and previews for the holiday season ahead of us.
We'll have a preview of the Living Christmas Tree at Foothills Baptist Church. There will be some holiday recipes, decorating and holiday party ideas, as well as gift ideas from local merchants. And, of course, since it is a Thanksgiving Day newspaper, we will be able to bring you some great offers on deals that can help you scheme for how to best attack Black Friday.
So when you pick up your copy of the Holly Edition this Thursday and spend some time flipping through it, please know that we are thankful for your invitation into your home to be part of your Thanksgiving, as we are thankful everyday for your readership.
From all of us here at the Ahwatukee Foothills News, we'd like to wish you and your family the happiest of Thanksgivings.

Manizales and Salento
The coffee-growing region
03.05.2009 - 10.05.2009
View South America tour on hughw's travel map.
Matt and I headed south from Medellín to Manizales, located in the heart of Colombia's coffee-growing region. On the way to Manizales we met Natalia, who studies at university there. She was another typical Paisa: outgoing, super chatty, and justly convinced that Antioquians (herself included) are the most beautiful, friendly and hardworking folk on earth.
We had a conversation that ran something like this:
Naty: 'You think I'm beautiful now?'
Me: 'Erm...'
Naty: 'This is just what I look like when travelling. You should see me when I make an effort.'
[Shows pictures on phone]
Me: 'Wow. Who is that other beautiful lady?'
Naty: 'That's my mum. She's good-looking too.'
Me: 'She looks very young.'
Naty: 'She is 34.'
Matt and I managed to leave two guidebooks and a hat on the bus, perhaps something to do with Natalia's distracting qualities.
We arrived in Manizales.
From our hostal in Manizales, we went on a day trip to a coffee plantation. There the charismatic David explained the process of nurturing coffee plant seedlings (the male plants are smaller, produce less fruit and are mostly thrown away):
and the gruelling work of picking the fruit in the heat and insects:
The plantation was quite spectacular and home to other kinds of wildlife:
Then we saw how the coffee beans are processed. The beans are seeds inside a fruit, and are extracted mechanically:
Surprisingly, the drying process turns them from light brown to green:
Coffee beans are traded in this green state: dried but not roasted. Green beans are exported to other countries and roasted on arrival. Apparently they travel much better green than roasted.
David had a small roasting machine, and made the freshest coffee I have ever tasted.
Meanwhile I played with his pet parrot, who spoke some Spanish. The bird said 'hola' and gingerly stepped onto my finger. He seemed like a decent chap. Everyone stroked him a bit. Then he lent down, ever so slowly, and carefully bit my finger, before flying off laughing. The bastard.
Later I spoke to David, who said 'I hate that parrot so much, I want to make it into a soup'. I would happily join him in the eating of said soup. That night I had a fever. I blame the parrot.
From Manizales we went on a day trip to some nearby thermal springs, as over-zealously signed on the road:
You could actually run stand under the (cold) waterfalls, and then run a few yards to the steaming baths, fed from hot springs. Quite a wonderful experience.
Matt dunked a fellow traveller in one of the hot springs, and she managed to get water trapped in her ear, giving her great pain. Back at our hostal, an ancient craggy guy said we should wee on cotton wool and put it in her ear. He muttered something about learning many such tricks in the army while posted in the jungle. After much ill-concealed mirth on the part of me and Matt, she eventually tried the remedy, which worked miraculously.
After Manizales, we headed south again to Salento, a small town on a precipitous hill. It was a smaller, more remote and more chilled version of Manizales.
Where we also discovered one of the best set-menu places ever:
Teaming up with Martin from the Czech Republic, we went on a hike in the nearby Cocorro valley. To get there we had to cling onto a tiny jeep carrying 15 people. I was standing outside, one foot on a plate, and holding onto the luggage rack (which also had people sitting on it) for dear life. It was OK until the paved road ended and became a rough track. But we survived.
The trek was spectacular, and took us up one valley and down another:
The valley was teeming with wildlife:
And at the top was a small farm, where they put out feeders to attract hummingbirds:
The trek back down took us through a valley of wax palms, Colombia's national tree, eerie in the fog:
All rounded off nicely with a lunch of trucha (trout) and patacon (a sort of plantain fritter):

Tummy Tuck and aggressive weight lifting, is there a limit?
- lifterPaul

- Last updated: 6 years ago
Say 1 year or more post op and the person is back in shape. Basically we all have personal limits but if I had prior to surgery been able to say bench press 300 pounds, squat 400 pounds deadlift 500 pounds would I recover strength back to pre op provided I built myself back up after the tummy tuck.

Featuring two wines from Austria. Pannonica Red and White, $9.99 each. Pannonica is what the Romans called the land near the Danube River, where these wines are from.
The white has a nose of apricot, roses, and lime, followed by apple and mineral on the palate. Pair it with fresh lobster or baked chicken breast.
The red features dark berries and black peeper on the nose, with juicy blackberry and spice on the tongue. This is an excellent red to pair with BBQ ribs or burgers.
This month, we are featuring two wines from Smoking Loon.
The Smoking Loon Chardonnay is wonderfully buttery and has notes of apple. It would pair well with chicken kebabs or a soft cheese.
The Smoking Loon Merlot is medium bodied with notes of leather, tobacco, and blackberries. It would also pair well with kebabs, but ones made instead with early summer vegetables or red meat.
This month, we are featuring a red and a white from Brancott Estates in New Zealand.
The Sauvignon Blanc has a very nice nose of lemongrass and citrus, with tangy flavors of grapefruit and stonefruit. It pairs very well with poultry or fish dishes, as well as spring yard work!
The Pinot Noir has aromas of plum and roses, with black cherry and licorice. It pairs excellently with either red or white meats, soft or hard cheeses, or your monthly book club.
March is looking like we'll be starting off with a little warmer weather, but it seems we'll still be seeing winter temperatures at least through the first week, so it's fitting that our "Wines for Under $10" are good choices to pair with warming foods.
We are featuring two reds from Le Grand Noir. The Pinot Noir is simple and clean, with a nose of red berries and plum, and flavors of earth, cherries, and black pepper. This wine pairs well with pretty much any meal and its lighter style won't overpower other flavors. The Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre is a Rhone-style red with bell pepper, black olive, and subtle spices on the nose, and flavors of smoke and black cherry. This wine is a bit heavier and should be paired with steak, burgers, or sharp cheeses.
It's February, and we're all hopefully going strong on our New Year's resolutions. Was one of yours to drink more organic wine? If so, you're in luck! This month we are featuring Frey Organic Natural Red and White wines for under $10.
The red is medium-bodied, balanced, and smooth, with a bright garnet color. It is crisp and fruity on the finish. The white is bright, crisp, and dry, filled with pleasing flavors of ripe melon and pear. Both are perfect for a mid-winter dinner party or a cozy movie night at home with a loved one.
This month we are featuring two Australian wines that have become crowd favorites here at City Market. Banrock Station is a vineyard that is devoted to making great, affordable wine, all while giving back as much as they can to promote sustainability and conservation. In the past ten years, they have donated almost $5 million to over 130 environmental conservation projects, spanning 13 countries.
Banrock Station Chardonnay is a fantastic example of an oaked chardonnay that is still crisp and refreshing. The oak is very subtle, and imparts notes of sweet vanilla to the finish. The body is medium to full, with flavors of peach, melon, and honeydew. Banrock Station Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon is a very well balanced, soft, medium-bodied red. This slightly peppery, lightly oaked blend boasts flavors of plum, raspberry, and blueberry alongside notes of sage and thyme.

|21 Grams
Movie Credits:
Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu
Written by by Guillermo Arriaga
Cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto
Edited by Stephen Mirrione
Starring Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio Del Toro
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Screened 11/27/03 at Jacob Burns Film Center, Pleasantville, NY
Reviewed 11/29/03
Stylized to a fault and scrambled to the point of distraction, Alejandro González Iñárritu's follow-up to arthouse hit Amores Perros is dead-set on impressing audiences with its high seriousness. If Krzysztof Kieslowski has a legacy, it may be that so many up-and-coming filmmakers have copped his most obvious visionary conceits - either splintering the life of one person into multiple, parallel threads (Run Lola Run), or, as Iñárritu does here, following disparate characters along strangely convergent paths to show how their destinies are intertwined. Of course, the basic narrative strategy has served any number of filmmakers well, with everyone from Robert Altman to Steven Soderbergh having put their own stamp on structurally similar material (and the grainy images here are especially reminiscent of Soderbergh's camerawork in the Mexico-set segments of Traffic). But there's a quasi-mystical fatalism to Iñárritu's work that closely recalls Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy, where grief is a metaphysical state and God is other people.
Like Amores Perros, 21 Grams was written by Guillermo Arriaga and shot by Rodrigo Prieto. Also like Amores Perros, it explores connections between people who are affected by a single event in unusually expressive terms - Prieto's grainy bleach-bypass cinematography and handheld camerawork renders the actors on screen with a consistent, almost startling clarity, like X-rays finding the jagged outlines of bone below soft surfaces. The visuals illuminate three fearless central performances, two of them great and the other a near miss, that almost - but not quite - hold the film together.
The film's best sequences, the ones that aspire to (and mostly achieve) an astounding close relationship with damaged characters who are groping toward happiness and simultaneously keeping it at bay, can be startling in their immediacy and credibility. Sean Penn is Paul, a heart patient who endures not one but two brushes with death; Naomi Watts is Cristina, a grieving mother doing battle with her anger; and Benicio Del Toro is Jack, an ex-con who's trying desperately to use Jesus as a filter through which to view and make sense of a hard-knock life. Cristina can't quite comprehend why Paul is reaching out to her so aggressively, and their scenes together have the awkward charm of real romance among well-intentioned men and women who nonetheless have trouble on their mind. Despite the stand-by-your-man attentions of a loving, clear-minded wife (Melissa Leo), Jack still has issues with the world around him - he quotes turn-the-other-cheek scripture but has trouble actually avoiding violence. The scenes from their marriage have a similar ring of truth.
It's a cliché to describe a performer as a chameleon, but Naomi Watts invited the description directly in Mulholland Dr., in which she not only played two different characters, but in which she had to play a character who was playing two different chracters. Whatever. She was brilliant in that film, and she remains brilliant here. Her well-off suburban housewife is no less credible than the tormented/idealized Hollywood naif she had to create from scratch in the Lynch film. She plays her character as so beautifully disassociated and searching in this film - reminiscent of Juliette Binoche's serenely grieving widow in the Kieslowski trilogy - that it's a real disappointment to run head-on into the scenes where she's directed to scream and cry uncontrollably like any other movie mom who loses a child. Give her an Oscar already; she's phenomenal. Similar superlatives can easily be applied to Sean Penn's performance. There are heartbreaking scenes set in a hospital bed as Penn narrates, disbelievingly, in voiceover. What am I doing here?, he wants to know, eyes scanning the room. Me, this person who has so many good years left in him. It qualifies as a minor triumph, then, when a doctor hands him a jar containing the defective heart that has been plucked from his chest — an ordinary miracle — and the bemused look on his face as he studies the organ is almost worth the price of admission in itself. Only the great Del Toro seems a little off-kilter in his role. Maybe it's a case of being overcast. He's so typically intense, commanding and charismatic on screen that he seems out of place living an ordinary life. I'd like to see him play a cult leader sometime, or maybe the President of the United States. But, like pretty much everyone here, he's terrific to watch.
Most of the character relationships are set up and explored in the first half of the film, which amounts to engrossing and occasionally affecting melodrama. But it is melodrama, with all the trappings thereof, and the singlemindedness with which Iñárritu directs these characters toward the wringer feels artificial and arbitrary. (A throwaway scene showing Cristina's daughters in the kitchen, displaying their wide grins as they scoop chocolate out of mixing bowls with their fingers, is nothing more than a broad tip-off that the kids won't survive to the end of the reel.) Editor Stephen Mirrione (he cut the aforementioned Traffic, as well as Doug Liman's similarly fragmented Go) has a felicitous approach to the kind of piecemeal storytelling imposed on him by the aggressively nonlinear timeline, an intriguing but ultimately misguided gimmick. As a result of the origami chronology, not only is the film's resolution unsatisfying, it's telegraphed too far in advance. As we ramble through the narrative contrivances that constitute the film's denouement, the less compelling the characters - and the less nuanced Iñárritu's and Arriaga's conceptions of them - seem.
By the time Penn delivers a last-minute voiceover explaining the film's title, I was in a decidedly nonreceptive state. At one point I thought of the Dogme 95 movement of a few years ago, and what seemed to me at the time like a vaguely puzzling directive to elide "superficial action" from films. But now I understood. I badly wanted 21 Grams to steer clear of the well-worn path of the revenge thriller, and I could hardly believe my ears when, during one of the flash-forward sequences, Watts hissed, "We have to kill him." I mean, Wha? Granted, there are apparent layers of irony and characterization in what happens next. But still, it devolves into pretentious, po-faced soap opera. Turn the portent-o-meter down a few notches, discard the nonlinear structure and trim about 30 minutes from the narrative, and then cast Shannon Tweed, Billy Baldwin and Sam Jones in the three lead roles and you've got Cinemax After Dark. Yes, it's true that 30 minutes of story and can make the difference between a great film and a terrible one, but 21 Grams is neither of those. After a very strong first half, and as its deliberately bestrewn puzzle pieces start to come together, this supremely ambitious picture begins to feel more and more ordinary.

"The two year Jungian Psychotherapy Program was the richest and most personally and professionally rewarding training experience of my over 30 year career." -Lesliann King, LCPC, EdD, JPP class of 2012
"The two year Jungian Psychotherapy Program was the richest and most personally and professionally rewarding training experience of my over 30 year career."
-Lesliann King, LCPC, EdD, JPP class of 2012
The Jungian Psychotherapy Program (JPP) and the Jungian Studies Program (JSP) are unique and dynamic two-year programs in Analytical Psychology offered by the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. The Jungian Psychotherapy Program (JPP) offers licensed mental health and social service professionals an opportunity to enrich and deepen their work through didactic and experiential learning in Analytical Psychotherapy. The Jungian Studies Program (JSP) shares core curriculum with the JPP and offers professionals in other fields an opportunity to gain a comprehensive knowledge of analytical psychology to enrich and deepen their professional work.These programs meet concurrently one weekend a month (October - June). A new two-year cycle begins October 2016. The 2016-2018 cycle has been filled. The JPP accepts psychologists, social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, physicians, and nurses. The JSP accepts allied professionals such as spiritual directors, chaplains, alternative health care providers, educators and artists. JSP students and JPP students participate in all aspects of the program together except where confidential clinical material is discussed. At those times, participants are divided into separate small process groups. Continuing education credits are available for JPP students.
Participants will learn what it means to think and conceptualize symbolically from a Jungian perspective. Coursework in the program will included many fundamental aspects of Jungian theory and practice such as dream interpretation, active imagination, transference and counter-transference, the Self, the use of mythology and fairy tales in psychotherapy, sandtray, as well as common practice issues such as how to deal with ethical dilemmas and termination.
The programs, which run from October to June of each year, include 144 hours of instruction in Jungian theory and 64 hours of small group consultation--all provided by Jungian psychoanalysts. Both programs co-participate in theory instruction hours. Small group consultation occurs separately for each program, with a focus on clinical material for the JPP, and more theoretical direction for the JSP.
Who Should Apply
The Jungian Psychotherapy Program was developed for health, mental health and social service professionals who:• Wish to learn Jungian theory in a warm collegial atmosphere that encourages deep personal and experiential learning as well as professional networking• Are looking for a continuing education program that will enrich and improve one's competences through educational seminars and group consultation
• Desire to take their clinical approaches to a deeper level, including group case discussion with a Jungian psychoanalyst
• Would like to participate in a stimulating learning environment where the faculty are Jungian psychoanalysts and the participants are professionals from a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds• Are interested in a time-limited program that is remarkable in providing education in Analytic Psychology while allowing participants to be employed full-time and, in some cases, to commute long distances
The Jungian Studies Program was developed for professionals who would benefit from an understanding of Jungian theory and who wish to deepen their understanding of Jungian Thought.
"Experiencing Jungian ideas with a well-read and friendly group of thinkers - therapists, educators, spiritual leaders and artists - has been a very rich way to embrace maturity. It was a remarkable meeting of kindred spirits for me." -Heidi Hedeker, Pastry Chef, JSP Class of 2014

Return to Form: Wildcats return to winning versus Wills Point
By JOSEPH ELERSON | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Jan. 4, 2008 - SSHS first-year coach Braughn Curtis saw a different team than he did at the Century Bank/Fouke Classic last weekend as the Sulphur Springs Wildcats defeated the Wills Point Tigers, 55-38, at Wildcat Gym Thursday night.
This was the second meeting between the two schools as SSHS defeated the Tigers, 55-39, at the Wills Point Tournament in December.
"I thought our guys played well," Curtis said. "We came out and had goals that we needed to press well and have good offensive possessions, and I think we did that for the most part."
SSHS (14-7) bounced back from a three-game losing streak with a strong inside game from 6-6 junior post Colton Nash, who scored a game-high 16 points to go along with four rebounds, one steal and two blocks. Teammate Bryant "Day Day" Jackson had 14 points, two rebounds, two steals and one assist.
"He (Nash) is definitely a factor for us at 6-6 and a big body," the coach said. "We are still trying to coach him up on the little things right now. Day Day is really coming along right now. He is one of our better shooters on the team, and he is a hard worker."
The Wildcats will return to Wildcat Gym tomorrow afternoon for a 3 p.m. tipoff against the Pleasant Grove Hawks. The freshmen are scheduled to tipoff at noon with the junior varsity to follow.
In the first quarter, Nash and Jackson scored all 12 of the Wildcats' points as the team jumped out to a 12-6 lead. Nash scored the first nine points as he went 3-for-3 from the field and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. Nash gave the Wildcats a 9-4 lead with 1:58 remaining in the first quarter, and then Jackson drained a jumper off an assist from Anthony Mills for the double-digit lead.
Wills Point (12-9) battled its way back and tied the game at 12-12 as Kevin Scott drained back-to-back 3-pointers before Jackson came back with eight unanswered points on two 3-pointers and an offensive putback for a 20-12 lead.
SSHS then went on an 8-0 run after a bucket by Wills Point post Junior Hamilton as Nash and Jackson continued to find ways to score against the Tigers for the 28-14 lead. The Wildcats took a 31-16 lead into the locker room on a 3-pointer by Tyrik Rollison.
Curtis said the Wildcats wanted to slow down the pace of the game and work on different situations in preparation for their district opener next Friday night against Mount Pleasant.
"We definitely want to run down the floor and get transition buckets, but we have got to be smart and wise when we take those opportunities," the coach said. "There were times during this game when we were running up and down the floor and we didn't get transition buckets. We have got to have good possessions and make every possession count."
In the third period, the Tigers cut the deficit to single digits at 33-24 on a fast-break layup and free throw from Mark Barefield, who was the team's leading scorer with 11 points to go along with five rebounds, one steal and one assist off of the bench.
Sulphur Springs finished the game shooting 22-of-51 from the field (43.1 percent) compared to 15-of-38 (39.5 percent) for Wills Point. Each team shot seven 3-pointers with SSHS making three, while Wills Point made two of theirs. The Wildcats held a 34-22 advantage in rebounding, a 16-8 advantage in assists and a 10-6 advantage in steals.
In the junior varsity game, the Wildcats lost 37-30 to Wills Point as Jesse Vasquez was the team's leading scorer with 13 points. In the freshmen game, the Wildcats held a 23-21 lead at the half and pulled out a 41-34 victory as Kaylon Alexander had a team-high 11 points and Alvin Frazier added 10 points.

Allure - Western Caribbean 8/14/2011: Allure of the Seas Cruise Review by EncinitasGal
Overall Member Rating
Allure - Western Caribbean 8/14/2011
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
That said, if you are already booked, here are our thoughts (By the way the Lido blog on this site is excellent!)
The Positives:
Embarkation and Debarkation are wonderful.
Chops Steak house and Samba Grill are excellent.
Don't pass up the free Johny Rockets Breakfast!!!
The gelato on the Boardwalk is better than the Ben and Jerry's on the other ships.
Dazzles has wonderful variety dancing music.
Watch the interactive screens carefully at mealtimes to see what restaurants are packed.
You can always find a lounge chair,finding space is harder.
If you like Jazz, hang out in the beautiful club.
Oceanaria and Blue Planet shows are must More see!(Book before you get on the ship)
If you are Crown & Anchor Diamond or above go on the backstage tour!
The Pinnacle Club on deck 17 is not just for Pinnacle members, it's a great escape, so is the Viking Crown lounge.
Ok, the negatives..
The Windjammer is smaller than the Voyager and Freedom class with almost double the passengers!
The waterline in Labadee is full of coral which cuts your feet.
Falmouth Jamacia is over an hour away from Ocho Rios and 45 min from Montego Bay, it is still under construction and there is little to do there.
The internet hovels are an abomination!
There are times when it feels like there are 6,400 passengers on board.
Everything here is inner directed, very little ocean views unless it is from your stateroom, don't expect the gym to have those beautiful full windows or have great views from the dining room.
The Solarium is not fully enclosed and is not air-conditioned, the glass above concentrates heat so you feel like a bug under a magnifying glass, the deck there is hot also.
Central Park needs fans and misters!
The dining room is not the open space we are used to for this line. Less

What Makes Us Special?
Special E is a unique green business that "rescues" items which are left over from special events such as food, flowers, candles, linens, decor and more, then repurposes them in ways that benefit our planet
people in need.
The recipients of the items we rescue include hospitals, cancer centers, hospice facilities, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, military families, veteran's organizations, schools and art programs for disadvantaged, disabled and special needs children, disaster relief agencies, and a wide range of charitable and non-profit organizations.
The remaining items we collect take a slightly different path which benefits our planet. Rather than ending up in our local landfills, waterways and oceans or on a recycling barge to a far away country, they are redirected to a one-of-a-kind network of upcycling artists who will transform these materials into other useful products and give them a whole new 'repurpose' in life!
A lot of time and energy goes into planning a function that your guests will enjoy. Wouldn't it be great if you could pay it forward and do something meaningful after your event has ended that has a positive impact on the environment and helps others that are less fortunate than yourself? Well now you can.
What makes an event special? Some believe it's the venue you select or food you serve. Others say it's the ambiance of the room or the theme you create.
At Special E, we believe it's what you do after your event that truly makes it special!
