"Spoke with Linda. She said they do excellent work and she was called twice. They're friendly,..."
Review for Tom Williams Collision Center
Erica B. on 08/03/2012
Erica said when she called the business she had to call 3 times to actually talk to someone. The business had her vehicle for 60 days for a dent that was not even huge. The business just replaced her fender, her tire and the rim. It took the business an additional 4 weeks to just put her vehicle back together. Her vehicle was 1 month late and she does not know why. Every time she called the business they told her that her vehicle was in line to be painted for 4 weeks. Her rental vehicle got cut off after 30 days. She was not kept adequately informed during the repair process because she had to call the business herself. She was not satisfied with the thoroughness of the person that prepared her estimate because when she got to the business to pick up her vehicle on a Monday it was not ready and she did not get a call back until Thursday 30 minutes before the business closed. She was not satisfied with the way she was treated by the personnel because of the reasons already stated. She stated she felt like Eric was lying to her because every time he gave her a time for her vehicle to be ready it was not ready. She was not satisfied with the business's communication and she would not recommend this business to others because of the reasons already stated.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Fount of Mercy, New York, NY, USA
Fount of Mercy is doing some incredible work in the New York City area. They are making great strides in benefitting widows of AIDS in Uganda by teaching them how to sew. Sewing Hope, under Fount of Mercy, creates a beautiful blend that combines the needs of Uganda with the overflow of New York City by throwing a high end fashion show that features garments made with Ugandan fabric. Their events are as chic as any event here in NYC, and it's all for a good cause.

The Big Table is a play that asks the big questions: "What are you guys on?", "Where can I get some?" and, of course, "What the fuck is happening up there?"
Plot, coherence and taste are all left for dead in this wild-eyed, slash-and-burn comedy rampage that lurches from smart satire to goofy parody to completely cracked, postmodern, stream-of-consciousness absurdity and more. When it's good, it's damn good. When it's not, you'll be too shell-shocked to notice.
Maybe Hunger Artists director Melissa Petro and writer Adam Martin had dads like mine. Unable to repress his essential immaturity after a day at some real job, my dad would burst in the door sporting Groucho Marx glasses, a fat roll of Mad magazines and a rented copy of Kentucky Fried Movie.
The Big Table (an original play by Martin) deals in that same sort of classically tasteless and over-the-top humor, the kind of stuff that flourished in the 1970s before sitcoms killed it off, before America got too jaded to think a good crotch-sniffing gag was funny.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Table isn't sophisticated by any means—though Martin can pen a fat-guy-shitting-out-a-candy-bar bit that works on more levels than Thomas Pynchon—but it's a refreshing romp through delightfully unpretentious and snotty sketch comedy.
Don't look for anything too deep —you'll hurt yourself. Instead, watch for a devil; a sailor; a pterodactyl boy; James Bond; a "gayboy pixie"; Dr. No; a sadistic nurse; a lovelorn fat guy; a drunken, self-reflexive theater expert; a scissors-wielding woman wearing little but a cardboard box reading "You're first at Ralphs"; a very special mattress; and, obviously, much, much more.
The cast (Norman Major III, Fatima, Mark Palkoner, a revved-up Alex Dorman and a perfectly wicked Jami McCoy) is completely willing to sacrifice itself and its dignity for the cause: a play that thrives on kamikaze comedy. The predictable gags are a bit of a drag—whatever life was left in spoofing spy movies was bled out by Mike Myers—but there's enough momentum that the strong stuff (an inspired riff on Beckett with "Waiting for Godzilla," for instance) ably drowns out the weak. Things work best when they're completely insane, and in this play, things are almost always that way.
THE BIG TABLE AT HUNGER ARTISTS THEATRE, 204 E. FOURTH ST., STE. I, SANTA ANA, (714) 547-9100. FRI.-SAT., 8:30 P.M.; SUN., 7:30 P.M. Through March 18. $12; $10 WITH RESERVATION.

That report warned of "cataclysmic changes" resulting from heat waves, rising sea levels, decreased food supplies and a possible 4-degree Celsius temperature increase this century.
Kim said climate change would get a sharper focus as the World Bank becomes more selective about the programs it pursues.
The bank is helping finance renewable energy projects, assisting with climate change mitigation plans and awarding funds to discourage deforestation and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The financial lender also wants to pitch in on a "master plan" to avoid temperature increases and rising sea levels, Kim said.

The Extant Seven bikes designed by Ride Studio provide everything you could want in a bike: Value, durability, light-weight, high-performance — and to own it today!
Choosing your Extant bike model is the first step, of three, to getting your own limited edition Extant bike. The first step is choosing your bike model.
The Extant Evergreen is the most versatility performance bike on the market. With a good set or road wheels, bring the Evergreen on any club ride and see what it can do on the steepest hill climb; you won't be disappointed. Swap the wheels to a 40c Clement MSO tire combo and ride your favorite mixed terrain route to a new personal best. If you're looking for the best mixed terrain bike on the market, this is it. How can this bike perform so well on the roads, too? Ride it and find out.
Why is the Extant Evergreen UTD the ideal bike?
- Toughest of all Extant Models: The Ultegra parts combined with the all conditions frameset, fork, and wheels all add up to the most durable Extant we offer. This bike can take more abuse than any 'out of a box' bike on the market.
- Great Travel Companion: This bike employs Shimano's Ultegra 6800 parts specs so this is a great bike if you travel — because any bike shop in the world will be able to work on and replace parts on the UTD. Disc brakes make setting up this bike a bit trickier than the RedSky's mid-reach brakes.
- Lightest Evergreen Model: By just 2 ounces of the Evergreen RTD.
- Longest Service Life of all Extants: The Ultegra kit, overall, is likely to wear a bit longer than the Rival kit on some Extants. The disc brakes tend to wear a bit longer than caliper brakes, too. Overall performance can vary greatly depends on how you ride, where you ride, and how tough on equipment you are.

If you're looking for new iphone case I got you covered. I was waiting in the Austin airport during SXSW and a girl pulled out this really interesting IPhone case. The case was aluminum and felt indestructible which is a plus. It keeps your phone from feeling naked but keeps it protected without messing up the aesthetic of the beautifully designed phone. The case is expensive but after playing around with it I might have to make the plunge. EXOVault Aluminum Iphone case

Eating Croissants and Telling Stories
Last week, Angie and I kicked off our Thursday morning eating chocolate croissants at a country club and writing the story of Cinderella in a series of nine segments—starting with the beginning (#1), then the end (#9), followed by the middle (#5).
An interesting exercise indeed, but it did serve a purpose. I promise.
We were at "Fundamentals of Successful Storytelling," a seminar hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals where local digital strategist, actor, and consultant Ed Reggi forced us to focus on not the content of our fairy tale, but rather on the process we used to tell it.
When filling in the holes (#'s 2–4 and 6–8), did we do so chronologically or not? Did we jump around? After seeing where things fit, did we want to move what we had written down as the middle? the beginning? the end? Why were we working the way we did, and, most importantly, how did that process impact the outcome of our product?
What I realized about our process when telling stories—in dealing with both Cinderella and our day-to-day tasks at the office—is that it's not always linear. We like to lay all the information out on a sheet, print it out, cut it up into sections then physically move around the pieces until we craft a narrative that's emotional, logical and novel—three key pieces Reggi says every story should have.
We were happy to spend our morning with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Barnes Jewish Foundation, our former clients Connections to Success and Crown Center, and other colleagues, thinking about how to spread the word about their great work.
Easily applicable to what we do here at Almanac—where we tell stories for purpose-driven brands, organizations, non-profits, etc.—the seminar reinforced our approach and reminded me why we do what we do.

The U.S. Supreme Court justices are scheduled to have one of their regular conferences to consider what cases they will decide to hear in full and one of the possibilities pits drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline against health insurer Humana.
The case is GlaxoSmithKline v. Humana Medical Plans, Inc., 12-690.
The gist of the case is disagreement over whether Medicare laws allow private insurance companies to sue a provider of care (GSK in this instance) for double damages in certain situations when the patient is a Medicare beneficiary using a Medicare Advantage health plan.
This dispute is part of the lingering litigation that GSK is fighting in the wake of the mess that was Avandia, its diabetes drug that was once a top seller. Part of the problem is that from 2001 to 2007, federal prosecutors said, GSK withheld safety data about heart concerns from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Besides thousands of suits by patients alleging harmful side effects, the company paid $3 billion to settle charges brought by the U.S. Justice Department that involved marketing practices. The company leaders from 2001 through 2007 are no longer GSK leaders.
GSK is based in London, but it employs thousands of people in the Philadelphia region. Humana is national insurer, with headquarters in Louisville.
If the Supreme Court justices decide to take the case, the next step would be oral arguments, but those probably would be scheduled for the fall term that begins in October.
Philadelphia attorney Nina Gussack, who served as chairwoman of Pepper Hamilton's executive committee for several years and has a reputation as one of the top defenders of pharmaceutical companies, is guiding the firm's efforts for GSK, along with George Lehner, Thomas Zemaitis and Kenneth Zucker.
District Court Judge Cynthia Rufe initially ruled in favor of GSK in 2011, dismissing Humana's lawsuit that it filed in federal court in Philadelphia in 2010. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which is also based in Philadelphia, overruled and said Humana could sue for double damages.
GSK urged the Supreme Court to hear the company's case because there are conflicting rulings between several courts of appeal on similar cases.

text: What would you do? http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-us-odd-gun-discharge-arrest,0,3601550.story Arizona man arrested on endangerment charges after gun discharges inside a Walmart store PHOENIX (AP) Authorities said a Surprise man has been arrested on suspicion of endangerment when the gun he was carrying discharged inside a Walmart in El Mirage. El Mirage police said the 30-year-old man entered the store around 1 a.m. Thursday and witnesses said he repeatedly fidgeted with a holstered semi-automatic pistol. When he went to a counter to pay for a video game, witnesses said he removed the gun from the holster causing the magazine to come loose and fall to the floor. They said he reinserted the magazine and continued manipulating the gun when it fired, sending one bullet into the ceiling. Police said no injuries were reported. He was booked into the downtown Phoenix jail on six counts of endangerment and firing a weapon in city limits. Video of the idiot here: http://www.kpho.com/video/23108503/index.html So, if you saw such a man messing with his gun in the store, what would be your response? Deaf

Committee Against Torture: Mauritania
CAT session 050 (2013)
(18 June 2013, CAT/C/MRT/CO/1, Concluding observations on initial report, para. 25)
"Notwithstanding the adoption of Ordinance No. 2005-015 of 5 December 2005 on the judicial protection of children, which establishes prison sentences for persons who commit acts of torture or acts of barbarity against children, the Committee is concerned that corporal punishment of children is not prohibited by law and seems to be even considered a suitable and effective method of education (art. 16).
The State party should:
a) amend its criminal legislation, including Ordinance No. 2005-015 on the judicial protection of children, to prohibit and explicitly penalize any form of corporal punishment of children in all places and contexts, including within the family, and enforce the principle of education without violence in accordance with article 28, paragraph 2, of the Convention on the Rights of the Child;
b) carry out programmes involving children, families, communities and religious leaders to educate, sensitize and mobilize the general public about the harmful effects of corporal punishment on the physical and psychological development of the person."Read more from CAT session 050 (2013)

Simon Dvorak Solo Exhibition: Nodes
Exhibition Dates: December 1-December 30, 2016
Artist Reception December 11, 2016 1-4:00pm
Gallery 1855 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition by multi-media artist Simon Dvorak. His solo exhibition "Nodes" will be exhibited throughout the month of December. A special end of the year opening reception will be held on Sunday, December 11th 1-4:00pm.
Simon Dvorak has shown his work in multiple mediums throughout the United States. His latest work is an exploration of networks. Nodes, connected and disconnected, forming a greater whole, exist as independent and yet dependent objects. Connected and energy can be transferred. Disconnected and the node exists independently. Electrical circuits, computer networks, your 'Related Items' have all manifested as a result of this paradigm.
"Through the vibrant medium of oil paint I have tried to visualize these concepts in diverse formats and styles. In a time of social networks aided by technology, examining the power and beauty of networks becomes imperative so that we may better understand their nature and potential impact of their forms."
This will be a must see exhibition.
Dee Conway "The Continuum" Exhibition
Exhibition Dates June 1, 2016-June 30, 2016
Artist Reception: June 12th 1-4:00pm
Gallery 1855 offers a special exhibition from artist Dee Conway. A graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography. This special exhibition draws from her many influences of nature, art, and the work of her late mentor Johanna Gillman.
"Many of the photographs in this exhibit are a combination of Johanna Gillman's artwork with either my paintings, my photography, or still lifes that I have created with her imagery. In some cases I have changed the color/tone/position of her work to create something new.
Johanna was a fabulous New York artist who spent the last 3 years of her life in California. She now lives in this beautiful cemetery.
In this way, I can somewhat continue our art relationship. I was her last art mentee" Dee Conway

Anne Miller "Botanicals" Exhbition
Gallery 1855 is pleased to present the abstract photography of artist Anne Miller. Anne's vibrant, colorful rare prints will be exhibited throughout the month of April with a special artist reception April 10th from 1-4:00pm. Light refreshments will be served during the event. Anne has a unique ability to use her camera lens to abstract subjects from their familiar settings and to emphasize the shapes, textures, patterns and colors that interest her. By exploring only a portion or detail of an object taken out of its larger context, she can see it from a fresh perspective without preconceptions about a subject's nature and the resulting image.
Her latest series of limited edition prints "Botanicals" captures the wealth of interesting surfaces and colors of nature. Anne's work reflects the life and fascinating patterns the world. In "Botanicals" she combines the elements of water, reflective distortion, transparency and selective focus to bring out new mysterious interpretations. She brilliantly captures the earthy color palettes and vibrant hues only found in nature. Limited edition prints will be for sale by the artist. More information about the artist can be found at https://www.annemillerphotography.com/.
Gallery 1855 is available for viewing Monday through Friday 9-3:00pm with opening reception held second Sunday 1-4:00pm.

Xamarin Component is available here
TestFairy is available for both Android and iOS. You can install the bindings by 1 of 3 ways
- Download the latest binding dll directly from GitHub for your specific platform
- Install the bindings through NuGet
- Install the bindings trhough the Xamarin Component Store
You will need an app token (TESTFAIRY_APP_TOKEN) which can be found in your settings page
AppDelegate.cs in your solution, and override or add the following code to
using TestFairyLib;
public override bool FinishedLaunching (UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
TestFairy.Begin (TESTFAIRY_APP_TOKEN);
// Rest of the method here
// ...
Remote Logging
Prior to iOS 10, TestFairy would automatically capture any device logs. However, with the introduction of a new logging system by Apple in iOS 10, in order to capture logging information along with your session, some extra steps are required. We recommend wrapping all log statements with a custom method, which will output to both the console and to TestFairy sessions. One suggestion we have is to add a method that looks as follows:
using TestFairyLib;
public static void Log(string format, params object[] arg)
using (var nsFormat = new NSString(string.Format(format, arg)))
CFunctions.TFLog(nsFormat.Handle, "");
Console.WriteLine(string.Format(format, arg));
Now, you can log statements using the call
Log("Hello {0}", "World");
Note: This requires Xamarin plugin version 2.1.0 and above.
Upload dSYM
With TestFairy, symbolicating crash reports is easy as pie. A simple Build Phase script can automatically upload the compressed .dSYM file for future symbolicaton.
To enable automatic uploads of .dSYM file, please follow these steps:
Step 1:
Copy upload_dsym.sh to your project folder. Download here.
Step 2:
In Xamarin Studio, click on your project in the left sidebar, then open settings and choose Options.
Step 3:
Click on Custom Commands on the left, press Select a project operation and select After Build
Step 4:
Add the following command to the command line
sh upload-dsym.sh UPLOAD_API_KEY -p DSYM_PATH
Make sure to replace UPLOAD_API_KEY with your upload api key which can be found in the Settings page.
Replace DSYM_PATH with the path of your build folder.
Step 5:
Set the "Working Directory" to the path of upload-dsym.sh file
Xamarin Insights Integration
With Insights, Xamarin developers can review their app usage using Xamarin.Insights component. TestFairy fills in the gap and will provide additional metrics such as cpu usage and memory allocation and even video capture from the device. Any question you as a developer may have, will be answered in the TestFairy session report.
In Insight's left sidebar, you will now see a link to the session recorded by TestFairy.
By simply adding the following code, the session recorded by TestFairy will be associated in Xamarin Insights as well (as seen in the screenshot above.) Place this snippet right after initializing Xamarin.Insights and TestFairy.
NSNotificationCenter.DefaultCenter.AddObserver (TestFairy.SessionStartedNotification, delegate (NSNotification n) {
NSString sessionUrl = (NSString)n.UserInfo.ObjectForKey(TestFairy.SessionStartedUrlKey);
Insights.Track ("TestFairy", new Dictionary<string, string> {{ "URL", sessionUrl }});
Either in your custom Android Application class, or in any Activity class, simply make a call to Com.TestFairy.TestFairy.Begin(
using Com.Testfairy;
public class MainActivity : Activity {
protected override void OnCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
base.OnCreate (savedInstanceState);
TestFairy.Begin (this, TESTFAIRY_APP_TOKEN);
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);
Telling TestFairy what to record
TestFairy can record screen cast directly from the device, it can monitor CPU consumption and memory allocations. It grabs
logs and even lets your users provide feedback upon device shake.
To configure how and what TestFairy records, visit your build settings. You will see the build after calling Begin () at
least once.
Mixing with other crash handlers
TestFairy plays nice. There is no problem using the crash handler with another reporter.

Spent last night walking thru the Yorkville-Annex neighbourhood and noticed that these two restaurants have recently closed! Of course, Modo being in Toronto's premier 'cursed' location was bound to close...but only lasting a year?? Never dined there as I have never really liked their previous restaurants (La Vecchia and Monte Cristo), but just wondering if anyone had thoughts of what should be done with this terrible restaurant location that no one seems to be able to make work!
Secondly, we also noticed that the once great Arlequin has also closed. I remember having some pretty good lunches and late dinners there in the late 90's. Always a quaint little room with consistently good, simple french bistro fare. I wonder what this stretch of Avenue Road really needs to bring it back to life!
Hoping the area can lift through the past of boring over-rated, over-priced restaurants with the same menu etc. (sotto sotto, spuntini, era ora, cantine). At least Boba and Mistura are still good...but too expensive to be neighbourhood staples.

"I guess I'll choose . . .America. . ."
You were suddenly grabbed around the waist by the red-head America. A gasp
slipped out of your mouth when you were being carried by America on the shoulder.
Also, you felt a little pressure on your bum . . . taking a guess it was his hand.
That made you suddenly begin to flip out and tried to struggle your way out of
his grasp.
"Heh~ like hell I am babe. We're gonna go someplace to have some real fun~."
Oh that did not sound good.
However, before you and America got out of the house he suddenly went to his bedroom
to grab some baseball equipment including his bloody baseball bat.
"Okay babe, let's go."
He then picked you up and placed you on his shoulder again and ran out of the house.
~ Time Skip ~
You both arrived at a empty baseball field. America dropped you a bit too roughly
onto your bum. You began to rub it to ease the pain.
"You know. . you didn't have to drop me."
But he just ignored you and tossed you a bat and also a helmet. You gave a yelp and
quickly caught both the bat and helmet.
"Nice relex."
You gave him a small glare and placed the helmet onto your head.
"Okay babe, so here is the deal we're gonna play a couple rounds of baseball. If you win
I buy ya something you really want but if I win I get somethin' outta you."
"Hold on, you can't play baseball with two people." You pointed out to the American.
"Yeah you can, okay so I'll explain a little more. First one to get a home run wins the
whole thing."
You only nodded and got up to bat as 2p!America gave you a smirk letting you see tooth missing, he then got ready to throw the ball at you.
~ Le Time Skip Brought To You By England's Magical Cupcakes ~
You were both tied and it was once again your turn to bat. One more win and that America
would be buying you a (insert favorite item here). Here came the pitch and. . .
You ran as fast as your legs could carry you. You past 1st base, you could see the red-
head chasing after the ball. 2nd base, he grab the ball and run towards you as fast
as he could. 3rd base, you were nearing 4th base when suddenly a force rammed into and
you began to tumble to the ground.
"Huff, huff, I. . gotcha. ."
You panted and looked up to see red eyes peering into your (e/c) eyes. Everything soon
slowed down as he leaned down and placed his lips onto yours in a rough kiss. You let
out a gasp before your lips pushed up against him with the same amount of force into the
"Heh, I think you know baseball pretty well but let me teach ya on kissing~."
You only giggled before repling.
"Can we start our lesson now~?"

October 16, 2010 by Post Team
Gamepost, The trailers create this look like a CIA spies with a bucket list to return to the game post-retirement. Indeed, some jokes are not made on the characters are old men. There are more jokes, too, someone on the set. Then there is a joke made by one character after shooting someone who called him an old man. Red, incidentally, is code for "Retired: Extremely dangerous'
By adapting the Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner comic, Jon and Erich Hoeber writers try to inject humor into the corner that players respect without resorting to aggression. Director Robert Schwentke lassos details of the film without sacrificing the depth of characters; all played by actors can rise above a script that is just not that rewarding. The film gets a rough sense of momentum, not a little embarrassed by the jokes that we're supposed to find funny about the love of characters and how to use weapons.
Bruce Willis, as Moses Frank, a retired CIA tearing his social security checks as an excuse for long distance woo Sarah; a federal official (Mary-Louise Parker) is probably the most complex of the crew of the CIA. Mainly because the first scenes show the cellular structure of his days before the attack killer who puts it on the road, taking Sarah with him. Willis is a character previously excelled in films of higher quality and less, but the chemistry he shares with Parker adds an element of hokey charm, the hokeyness also works in a "do-it-like-me? "Conversation between Willis and John Malkovich.
Elsewise, the remaining players, which include crew – Helen Mirren as a flower-umbrella organization that takes contracts on the side to spice up his loneliness in New England, Morgan Freeman as a retirement home resident who escapes animated shot being done, but the ultimate sacrifice in needed, John Malkovich, as an exhaustion of camouflage-wearing first study that extended LSD helicoptors and lives in a bunker, but uses his home to lure and Brian Cox as helping Ruskie Frank's former enemy – all find appropriate times in the shadow of their characters as much as the script when he can not put them at the right time they are needed.
On antagonists RED team, only Karl Urban as a CIA agent who is also a family man, demonstrates a true character. Rebecca Pidgeon as CIA director, fares less well, playing yet another treacherous woman, but he who has the cojones to run – and compromise – the CIA. Julian McMahon VP Robert Stanton is like a bad parody of a scene Parallax View until the presence of Richard Dreyfuss as a contractor issues ego provides real ogre of the film. Not bad, but just nice to see around him kick, is Ernest Borgnine, whose recordskeeper a great time sitting at a desk behind a wall, kicked in Frank.And the salute as an old friend.
There should be more awkward moments like this, that a less demanding may be generated. Overall, the actors have fun, but red cannot excite more than a neutral assessment.

Caritas Jerusalem mourns with people of Gaza
This letter has just arrived from the Caritas office in Jerusalem: Dear friends, Caritas Jerusalem mourns with the people of Gaza at this terrible time. According to the current situation in Gaza after 6 days of Israeli military attacks, 118 Palestinians have been killed and more than 300 injured, among them 19 children killed and 25 children injured. At this time, we are working through our medical centre to respond as best as we can to the unfathomable situation in Gaza. Our six medical points are active and working. For example, a doctor is working in a medical point in Beit Hanoun in Northern Gaza responding to urgent medical cases with our assistance. In Southern Gaza, we have a medical point positioned in Al Breij camp and it has been helpful in responding to the situation there, but our main medical team from our main medical center hoped to travel to that area, but the present circumstances are too dangerous. While we have a mobile medical clinic in Gaza, our mobile clinic is not an ambulance and as such does not have the distinguishing markings of an ambulance and risks being targeted from the air at this time. Moving around in Gaza is exceedingly dangerous. We understand that even ambulances moving around are not safe. Last year, Caritas Jerusalem provided 23 emergency medical bags to 23 doctors throughout Gaza. These bags have been very helpful in responding to urgent medical emergencies by the doctors who received them. We have coordinated with other organizations to respond to the urgent calls for blood and have done our best to respond to calls from blood banks for urgent donations. Currently, Caritas Jerusalem is communicating as best as we can with other agencies to attempt to coordinate an entry of medicines, gauze, medicinal alcohol for wound dressing, bandages, etc. into Gaza at this time to respond to urgent requests that we have received from our partners and hospitals in Gaza for the same. We are also coordinating with other agencies concerning the need to provide urgent food provision to vulnerable communities cut off from food supplies and isolated due to the ongoing military actions. We understand that military actions are still ongoing with some 10 persons killed yesterday. We have noted in the Al Breij region that while withdrawal from the area has taken place, the withdrawal was to a point only 2-3 kilometers away, so military actions continue. We will bring the latest developments of the situation there as we receive more information from our colleagues working there. A story of one family from Gaza follows here. www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=960235 'We thought you wanted peace,' says father of slain Gaza sisters By Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz Correspondent A day after the Asliyeh sisters, Samah, 13, and Salwa, 18, were killed in an Israel Air Force bombing, their grandfather, Mohammed, was hospitalized Sunday. His blood pressure rose and his sons were afraid he would collapse. The horrifying images of the girls' charred bodies were broadcast over and over Saturday on Al Jazeera, and Mohammed found himself the unwilling center of Arab and Palestinian media attention. TV cameras were rolling when he and his wife, the girls' grandmother, reached the smoke-filled room, minutes after the blast, and were pushed back by the men inside to keep them from seeing the terrible sight. A mourners' tent was set up near the family's home in the Tel al-Zaatar neighborhood. The guests' condolences, spoken through a microphone, can be heard over the phone, as well as distant blasts from the ongoing battles between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen. The father, Zidan, 42, still cannot digest what happened. For years he lived there with his 12 children, next door to his brother Diab's family. They had almost no trouble. Diab even has a work permit for Israel (which he can expect to lose, now that he is in the category of those whose relatives were killed by the Israel Defense Forces). Like many of his relatives, Zidan used to work on the other side of the border, and still has many Jewish acquaintances. "Plasterer. That was my profession by you, in Rehovot, in Ashkelon. I always thought you wanted peace, but what did you do? What did you do?! You slaughtered my two girls," he says. He bursts into tears. Salwa had begun medical school this year and dreamed of becoming a doctor. Samah stayed home from school because of the situation. Zidan and his wife were away from home, in Jabalya, when it happened. "We heard there was a blast around where we live. Then I got a phone call from my sisters, who told me, 'Come quick, they bombed the house and your two daughters were killed.' I saw their bodies when I arrived. What can I tell you? It's horrific." He describes the sight in detail, then says: "Did they shoot at anyone? Where they armed? Jewish friends from Israel telephoned me with condolences, but the Jews bombed us when the girls were sitting at home. It's inconceivable." Zidan's brother describes the events: "We kept hearing planes in the air and tanks, so we decided to bring the whole family, mine and Zidan's, down to the courtyard between the two houses, where we felt safer. But the two girls took too long upstairs. We heard a first 'boom' when a missile landed near the house, followed by a second missile that hit the bedroom window." He ran upstairs and saw the carnage. "I shouted, 'Samah, Samah,' but there was only severed limbs. If you had seen the sight you would've wept. The missile burned everything there." Diab, a former volunteer with Magen David Adom in Ashkelon, cannot grasp what happened. "There are no gunmen here. We wouldn't let them near. There are more than 20 children here. We don't want trouble and don't like it, but why did they shoot at us? What did we do to deserve this?" Source: Caritas Jerusalem www.caritasjr.org

The Murals are to be painted on the flood walls at Ashland's Riverfront, costing approximately $22,000 but will be divided into two different projects.
The first mural will be of the Booker T. Washington School (BTWS) and faculty of 1946. The Booker T. Washington School (BTWS) (1874-1962 ) was the segregated African-American ("Colored") school that existed in Ashland before mandated integration. The mural will feature full-time curriculum faculty in 1946, the principal, C. B. Nuckolls and the school building built in 1903 on Central Ave. The school initially served 1st-8th grades, then progressed to a 2-year high school and eventually a 4-year high school.
(Updated Design above-final update will be as part of artist discretion.)

News Article: "Work On New Flood Wall Murals to Start"
ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) - Community groups in Ashland are raising money to celebrate black history by having an area artist paint two murals on the city's floodwall.
The groups organized fundraisers on Saturday at Christ Temple Church.
The murals were first proposed in October, but so far fundraising has been stalled.One mural would depict Booker T. Washington School, an all-black school that existed in Ashland before mandated integration. The other mural would show several historic black churches in the area. The cost of painting the murals is estimated at $20,000. The murals will be painted by artist Jerry Johnson of Flatwoods.

Hi Jenn! I was speaking with your sister in law Caroline and she said to send her the itinerary when we got things worked out, so here it is, maybe she'll have some restaurant or sightseeing ideas. No worries if she doesn't have any ideas.
Love to all!
To the kind advisors,
here's the preliminary outline for our trip to Ireland
We are all so excited to come to Ireland and want to make the most of each day.
I've asked a bunch of questions and not sure if you can answer them, but they are just outlines for wanting to get the sights in while also taking into consideration the amount of time the drive will take to get from place to place and the fact that the boys are golfing.
remember -- I have Muscular Dystrophy so walking any distance is out but I can do some but not a bunch of stairs (that's why I'm concerned about the touring part and why Ira really insisted on a driver for me. My brother-in-law has a bad back and the golf I'm sure will keep him from walking & touring much too.

Think your driver will have more idea on travel times than Google, provided he's a native.
Not sure why you are flying into SNN rather than DUB to start the trip. But Day one and two look like a decent option. If you are aiming for Clonmacnoise then I might suggest calling into Birr on the way (assuming your driver cutting across rather than up the 18 turn right on the 6)
Day 3 you have a long day going round to Killarney. Day 4 fine but your dining options might be better adjusted into the town which has a lot of good options. My locals in Killarney are O'Connors and Tattler Jacks, both could have good music, The Danny Mann in the Eviston is the place for tour bus trad.
Day 5~7, Welcome back to Clare, Unless you aim to see Loop Head and other points in South west Clare I recommend the Tunnel rather than the ferry crossing for Ennis. The Temple gate is a good place to eat and they may have music in Preachers. My general recommendation is Brogans but they are changing hands and closed at the moment. Poets Corner in the Old Ground is a good option and Queens will also have music. Just ask in town and you will be directed to the best spot for the night.
I don't eat in Doolin. If you want one of Ireland best eateries then the Wild Honey is the place to go,, Music in Doolin is of the Danny Mann variety most nights. Ennis has far more/better options. Pitty you will miss the Fledh Nua (starts the 17th)

I am not crazy about Dooks but some of my golfing friends love it. Fabulous views.
I hope the guys are reasonable golfers. Lahinch is a tough course. But beautiful and once again incredible scenery.
You will be driving very close to Tralee. If I had to play one course again before I departed the planet it would be Tralee. The back nine in particular is stunning. Have fun.

Thanks so much for the replies, marking my papers now to look up recommendations, and telling husband about golf comments, thanks so much for your time and help!

A few quick observations on your travel plan.
Clonmacnoise doesn't really tie in with the Shannon - Dublin route, although if you divert there you will be on a main road that delivers you to Maynooth (Carton House).
On the more direct route, through Limerick, a popular stopping-off place is the wonderfully titled Barack Obama Plaza - I kid you not.
Eating out near the Mont Clare hotel: we have enjoyed eating in the Blackboard Bistro, just down the street (Clare St.). Food at the Pig's Ear is excellent and is not far down Nassau St. One Pico would be a notch up in the $$$ stakes.
Walking southwards along Merrion Square brings you to Baggot St/Merrion Row where a few of the popular Dublin pubs are to be found - Doheny & Nesbits, Toner's and O'Donoghues.
Re the Dublin to Killarney trip, this is a long enough day in a car without taking a major diversion to Kilkenny. Travelling via Cork city does give you the option of stops at the Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle without wandering far off the direct route.

thanks so much, also a quick question, best pubs to watch the american NHL games ?
Report Abuse
Not sure, where would you catch the GAA on a TV in a N.Y. Bar? If you are in Killarney then maybe Tattler Jacks or they might be able to advise? If in Ennis I really wouldn't know.

Thanks! His favorite team lost so he won't be so hyped to see the nhl now but I'm sure he will watch it some where. Tattler jacks is a good suggestion. Plus if I can get wifi He can watch on my lap top

HighlightsPrint Post
- If good parenting is so important for kids, why only encourage those with poor job prospects to pursue it full-time? Tweet This
- Is asking low-income men to do "the 'women's work' of raising kids" key to saving marriage in poorer communities? Tweet This
Last year Brookings Institution scholar Richard Reeves joined the growing chorus of concern about the nation's widening marriage gap. "Matrimony," he wrote in this Atlantic article, "is flourishing among the rich but floundering among the poor, leading to a large, corresponding marriage gap." As he documents, children raised by single parents are far more likely than those whose parents are married to live in poverty and less likely to achieve and act in ways that will enable them to escape it.
The "marriage gap" is a genuine problem. But the solution Reeves offers is not only highly implausible, it also betrays just how low is his view of the traditional female role in marriage. His solution is to spread the contemporary elite form of marriage, which he calls the "High-Investment Parenting" or HIP model of marriage, to lower-income Americans, but with a very important twist.
In Reeves' description, the HIP model is a modified form of what he terms the "traditional model of marriage." Like the male-breadwinner/female-homemaker model, the HIP model is "built on a strong, traditional commitment to raising children together." But in the HIP model, husband and wife share in the responsibilities of breadwinning and homemaking, instead of splitting them. When the children arrive, Reeves suggests, such couples may "decide that for a period, one parent will devote more of their time to parenting than to career, especially when the children are young." "If the mother takes some time out," which he presumes will (or should) be no more likely than the reverse, then HIP marriages will "masquerade, briefly, as traditional ones: a breadwinning father, a home-making mother, and a stable marriage." But only "briefly." The novelty of the HIP model of marriage is thus that it is "liberal about adult roles," even where it is still "conservative about raising children."
Reeves attributes the rise of the HIP model of marriage in part to "feminist advances." Feminism urged women to go to college and keep working even after marrying and having kids. Today, women are graduating from college at higher rates than men and are the main (or sole) breadwinners in 40 percent of families. Reversing "this half century of advance" is not only "impossible," he contends, but also "deeply undesirable." Encouraging mothers to devote themselves full-time to the care of their own children is, apparently, unconscionable.
And yet that is exactly what Reeves encourages low-income men to do. "HIP marriages are an elite invention," he writes, "that could make the greatest difference in the poorest communities, if only attitudes can be shifted." But because the "labor market prospects of poorly-educated men are dire," we must turn the traditional model of marriage "on its head": specifically, "men need to start doing the 'women's work' of raising kids."
Reeves' solution for shoring up marriage among low-income Americans, then, is not actually to promote the HIP model of marriage, but to restore the traditional model in reverse. He would have men embrace full-time a role he seems to regard as demeaning for women. No doubt low-income men will sign up in droves.
Even odder, however, is that though Reeves seems to recognize the importance of the many things elite parents do to prepare their children for the future—he specifically mentions how children benefit from bedtime stories, healthy meals and adequate physical activities—he still does not see devoting oneself full-time to such cultivation as a worthy thing for a woman to pursue. So much for being liberal about adult roles.

Ahead of Northern Irelands assembly elections, the regions Catholic bishops have reflected on situation facing voters and the importance of voting with well-formed consciences.
Far from separating us from concern about society and its development, the Gospel commandment to love ones neighbor as oneself commits us to work for the good of all people and of each person, because we are all really responsible for all, said the bishops, citing the Compendium on the Social Doctrine of the Church.
The Feb. 22 message was signed by Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland, and other leading Catholic bishops.
Northern Irelands Assembly elections will take place March 2. The vote for the regions legislative body follows political controversies regarding overspending on a renewable energy heating program, which called into question the power sharing agreement between the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Fein.
Deputy First Minister, Sinn Feins Martin McGuinness, resigned in protest Jan. 10 over allegations that First Minister Arlene Foster of the Democratic Unionist Party mishandled the project. The resignation triggered the elections.
In this climate, the bishops said, the premature collapse of our political institutions is a serious matter for all of us. Despite progress towards peace and prosperity in the 20 years since the pivotal Good Friday Agreement, they saw a return of bitter language and tone of conflict to political discourse.
They noted the sacrifices political leaders make, but also reflected on politicians duties to help shape a healthy, positive and peaceful society in which there are ample, quality jobs, decent housing, comprehensive healthcare, and first-class education for all.
Northern Irelands bishops encouraged voters to reflect on Catholic social teaching in their decisions.
They stressed the need to build a culture that loves and cares for others, especially the most vulnerable. They cited Pope Francis call for a revolution of tenderness that replaces hardened hearts with a sensitivity and active concern to protect all and care for all.
Noting pressures to introduce legal abortion in Northern Ireland, the bishops rejected a throwaway culture that treats human beings as disposable. They said the regions laws should equally value the life of both mother and unborn child, and not diminish our humanity by destroying another human life. They warned against efforts to portray legal abortion as limited, as the procedure always intentionally takes the life of an innocent.
Central to the good news that the Church proclaims is that the life of every person is sacred and inviolable, irrespective of the stage or state of that life, they said. This is a fundamental principle that every other human right presumes.
The bishops lamented disturbing levels of child poverty, with almost 110,000 children in Northern Ireland living below the poverty line. The region has some of the highest levels of the numbers of working poor and the disabled, in addition to other features of income inequality.
The bishops said voters should prioritize the systemic and comprehensive eradication of childhood poverty and the provision of other social needs.
They advocated for a constructive political culture based on a shared commitment to the common good instead of the constitutional issues that have traditionally played a key role in Northern Irish politics.
Many Catholics have found it increasingly difficult to find a political party for which they can vote in good conscience. The bishops said that in the absence of clear alternatives, Catholics should maximize the good and limit any potential harm through their election choices.
Northern Irelands bishops stressed the importance of recognizing marriage as the union of one man and one woman. To recognize other relationships equally undercuts the importance of the biological bond and natural ties between parents and children.
They cited Pope Francis apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia, which said same-sex unions are in no way similar to marriage and are not analogous to Gods plan for marriage and the family.
The bishops encouraged a welcoming attitude towards refugees who flee dangers including persecution, war, and natural disaster. They advocated an increase in the number of refugees resettled from Syria to Northern Ireland.
Similarly, the bishops voiced concern for the persecution of Christians abroad, as well as subtle forms of exclusion and discrimination against Christians in western democracies. They reported that local Christians have described a chilling effect in the regions law and public policy that excludes church and faith groups from public funding or caricatures them in public debate because of their beliefs regarding marriage or their pro-life stand.
They noted the failure of the Northern Ireland Assembly to protect the right of a Catholic adoption agency to act in accord with its religion and voiced hope that this could change in the future.
They also rejected some views of integrated education that suggest Catholic schools do not contribute to reconciliation, tolerance, and understanding. In fact, the bishops contended, these schools have a Christian ethos that is inclusive, welcoming and tolerant. Some approaches to education reject parents rights to ensure a faith-based education for their children, and even cloak a deep-seated hostility to the Catholic faith itself.
Recommendations for voters also drew on Pope Francis encyclical on care for creation, Laudato si', points out the challenges of environmental degradation and climate change. Northern Irelands bishops said caring for creation is good in itself and something owed to future generations.
They praised Northern Irelands leading role in the development of renewable energy technologies, and suggested the next Assembly should focus on further improving this aspect of the economy, while also encouraging protection for natural landscapes, fisheries, and other resources.
Further, the bishops noted the dangers of human trafficking and the disturbing levels of homelessness.
They noted the publication of an important report on historical institutional abuse in Northern Ireland and acknowledged that both Church and society failed to protect the vulnerable.
We apologize unreservedly to all those who suffered from their experience in Church-run institutions, and to their loved ones, the bishops said, acknowledging the inadequacy of apology while urging the reports recommendations against abuse be rapidly established.
The bishops concluded their statement with ten questions drawn from Catholic social teaching that voters should ask candidates.

Blue Diamond, IA (PressExposure) February 22, 2012 -- DreamLine Shower Enclosure
The DreamLine Bathe Enclosure of tempered safety goblet is elegant and streamlined. It has a clean look involving clear or frosted glass and a tasteful support frame. The anodized aluminum frame comes in opera, nickel and stainless steel, however is barely noticeable in the total picture of a glass framework that emanates cool. Glass entrance doors slide open or pivot. The semi-frameless DreamLine Shower Enclosure is all glass with a few hinges and wall fasteners, and is a lot more like a futuristic skin revival cubicle.
These enclosures beckon the viewer, and promise a soothing, soothing shower. The no-frills, simple traces evince the functional ability of the room for a long drenching or a quick wash. Attachable glass shelves conveniently maintain soap products while maintaining outdoors feel. A shower head occupies very little space and a shower column very little more, in keeping with the spare but purposeful building.
Enclosures come in four eye-grabbing shapes: spherical, rectangular, "neo-angle" and D-shaped. These gleaming shapes are so appealing to take a look at, they must be responsible for the viewer's urge to step in as well as take a shower. Who can resist style names like Sparkle, Majestic, Infinity and Tetra? The ENIGMA line also has large enclosures for bathers who need a great deal of room. The really good news is the fact that all glass is armed with a "Clear Glass protective layer for anti-lime scale," because DreamLine notes it. This will help maintain the glass sparkling.
Shower bases, or trays, are part of the DreamLine product lineup, so that the enclosures have a floor with a drain. Drain pipes can be left, right or perhaps center in the floor base. Trays have anti-splash thresholds. Some enclosures need two and three-quarter inch absolute depths and some need three and three-quarter inches. Some can be put in onto a tile floor. Bases are white, however a "removable teak wood flooring panel" will be trimmed in black and supplies a little snap. It can be available just one person since it is completely removable.
The DreamLine shower door resembles the enclosure in its elegance. Mostly glass with a minimum of computer hardware, each door is a touch of sophistication to the bath or shower. Doors range from 38"-39" to 60"-61" in width, and fit various sized openings. Cup thicknesses in doors and enclosures tend to be 3/8'', 5/16", or a quarter inch. DreamLine bathtub doors slide on stainless-steel wheels in a stainless monitor bar, or they rocker. There are bifold doors as well. The "Unidoor" with a stationary panel comes with a opening range of 24"-61."
The DreamLine shower screen will elevate a nice bathroom to an extraordinary one. The quality of the materials along with the serenity of the style will keep it looking like the latest factor for a long time. The accessories would be the jewelry. The most up-to-the-minute designs of shoes and volume control deals with are as future-oriented as the enclosures are put into. There are also antique styles if so preferred, and several various finishes. The most popular finishes are polished nickel, brushed opera and brushed nickel.
Read the DreamLine shower screen and program a bath update to enhance virtually any home today at Zeni's Area your DreamLine shower enclosure dealer for the United States. DreamLIne shower enclosures as well as doors are a good start.
DreamLine Bathtub Enclosures are the most beautiful bathroom bathe enclosures you can find. Absolutely stunning in design. Frosted Shower enclosures and obvious glass shower enclosures at Zeni's Room. Learn more:

The pay and incentives packages for top IT executives are way out of line with their value to the company, according to a new report.
In its 2010 Pay Dirt Report, corporate finance research firm Glass Lewis highlighted a number of IT company executives in the bottom 25 of its pay-for-performance scale and singled out Oracle for offering massive share options.
"Was there even a global recession and financial crisis these past two years? Judging by many executives' pay packages, it is hard to tell," the report said.
Was there even a global recession and financial crisis these past two years? Judging by many executives' pay packages, it is hard to tell
"While average CEO pay in the S&P 500 declined in 2009, many executives continued to be paid extravagantly with little to no regard for corporate performance."
Some of the companies that Glass Lewis' model identified as having the worst pay-for-performance scores for 2009 included Micron Technology, Yahoo and Sprint Nextel.
Money for success
Glass Lewis weighs up the total value of remuneration packages compared with the success - or otherwise - of a company to estimate executives' value.
Ronald Hovespian of Novell, for example was the lowest-paid CEO on the 25 Overpaid list, receiving a paltry $5.2 million in total compensation last year.
Although the pay level is considered "quite reasonable" compared to other executives, it came during a year in which Novell's stock dropped 12% and the company reported a negative return on equity of 21%.
The situation was similar at Flash manufacturer Micron Technology. Glass Lewis said performance had steadily deteriorated during the past three years, culminating in a $1.8 billion loss in 2009 and a negative return on equity of 34%.
The company saw its net sales decline by $1 billion in 2009, but the total compensation of executives continued to soar.
According to Glass Lewis, the top five Micron executives received $19.5 million in 2009, dwarfing the $10.5 million they received in 2007, when the company's annual net loss was one-sixth of the 2009 loss.
"We find it somewhat baffling that so many boards and compensation committees have not adjusted compensation programs over the past year," said Glass Lewis.
We find it somewhat baffling that so many boards and compensation committees have not adjusted compensation programs over the past year
The highest-paid CEO at an Overpaid 25 company was Carol Bartz, who joined Yahoo in January 2009 and received approximately $39 million for the year.
Good deals
Not all tech companies are flashing the cash, however, and Apple and Amazon both stand out as getting good deals from their top dogs.
Steve Jobs picked up his customary $1 pay for the year and took nothing else from Apple, while Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com received $81,840 in base salary and $1.7 million in other payments. Both own a large amount of shares in their respective firms, however.
Outside the lists for poor performance, there were other eye-watering packages, particularly at Oracle. CEO, Larry Ellison, founder and CEO of Oracle trousered approximately $61 million in annual compensation, while president Safra Catz received some $42.1 million.

While summer isn't the best time for soup I could not resist this recipe. Pot pie can be hard to make, but this soups looks much more manageable. Find the recipe here. Also check out the site. There are some really great recipes.
This cute little guys will be great for entertaining. Once we actually get a table, I hope to do this more often than the never we did it at the old place. I found this image and had to do some digging to get to an actual recipe.
I have really been trying to work on eating less sweets. I have been pretty good so far. Okay, I've been better than normal for myself... but my sweets consumption is still probably higher than the national average.
I have never had a successful attempt at making a sandwich cookie before. But I've never stuck to the actual recipe for any fillings in the past. When I get some free time to bake, I plan on trying to tackle these guys: Marshmallow and Hazelnut Globes Again if you are not a regular to Sweet Paul Mag you are missing out!
My final recipe is nothing short of rich. Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes With Caramel Sauce
