DL337 B757-200 N647DL April 17th 2003
PHL-CVG Gate 3E
Got to the airport early and used DL kiosk to do the check in. I was worried about the seating but I guess when you don't pay the airline you get good seats: 26A on this leg and 27A on the CVG-SEA leg. I did the quick check in with one bag to check. When I checked my notes about the best seats on this aircraft I noticed that I was in one of the best seats on this all 757 trip according to www.seatguru.com
The aircraft was arriving from CVG. When it fast taxied to the gate I was shocked to see how beat up, dirty and bad this aircraft looked. It had the classic color scheme, the one before Ron Allen.
The aircraft was full but we boarded with ahead of time with some time to spare. We pushed back at 5:55 and captain told us that there was a bit of ATC saturation, so we will have to taxi to 9L and hold there for about 16 to 20 minutes. We taxied to that area which game me nice view of the other aircraft taking off on the same runway that were assigned. I saw a nice AirTran B717 (err, MD95) take off. Also behind that there was a Lufthansa A330-200 D-AIME. This was my first time seeing an LH 330. After being used to A340s all the time, looking at A330s makes you feel like there is an engine missing on each side of the aircraft. One thing that drew my attention was that the port side engine cowling was blue on the first ring. Looked like that was a quick fix for some mx issue. It did really stand out compared to all grey engine cowling on the other side of the aircraft.
Once airborne, drinks and pretzel were served. I went for tomato juice and turned down the pretzels. They passed the headsets for some DL entertainment thing, but I didn't even bother watching.
I was dozing off due to long week of work and extra hours I put. Before I knew it the purser was announcing the gate information of connecting flights.
DL1493 CVG-SEA Same aircraft, same gate
The flight attended on the previous flight was reading the connection gates. When he read the arrival gate and the departure for the SEA flight being the same, that was the sign that there was going to be an equipment change for the Vegas passengers. I really couldn't decide if that was the good news or bad news for me, but I didn't want to wait inside the aircraft almost an hour.
I got off the plane and headed for the food court as I didn't have anything to eat entire day. I had my eye on the Cheese steak place. (I know working in Philly and having cheese steak in Cinci doesn't make much sense). There was a huge crowd waiting for the orders before the place. It seemed like only the manager was busting his derriere to get the orders filled. I ended up waiting for 25 minutes for the order and it wasn't even worth the wait.
I was assigned seat 27A but I moved forward to have one of the empty rows. That was the norm in the aircraft and pretty much almost everyone got a single row to themselves as the load was extremely light.
We made a left turn on taxiway K to take off on runway 27. After that it was all history for me and lots of snoring for the other pax I woke up when we were approaching SEA from the North. We landed on 1025pm local, 0525 Z on runway 16R and taxied to gate B7.
My wife, who works at the airport, was at the gate. It was a nice sight after being away from home for 2 weeks.

SEA-PHL US106 April 20th 2003
Gate S4 Seat 4F N733UW
This time I was returning to PHL on US Airways, again thanks to Mileage Plus.
Interesting observation was that despite US code sharing with United the Lav Truck that was serving the aircraft was a DL machine. I would hope that US would move to N gates in SEA and consolidate their SEA operation to United. They cut back a lot since the downturn on the economy/airline travel. At this time they are serving SEA from PHL and PIT only. They used to have CLT non-stop, which is gone for some time; and they reduced the number of flights to/from PIT and PHL. (For instance no more red-eye to PHL).
We pushed back at 19:25 Z, 12:25 local.
We had a runway heading departure on 16L with quite a steep climb rate. We turned east towards Spokane. Once at the cruise altitude we had a very small Turkey sandwich, Cape Cod potato chips and a sugar cookie.
This was my first flight on US Airbus. Couple of things that are different compared to United A319s that I am used to fly:
1. Seats are harder,
2. They don't have headrests like in UA
3. Back part of the seats is harder also,
4. Even the coach seats have power source for laptops. (I have a huge one, so I don't use it in flight. And Dell is a pain in the neck, as they are the only ones with unique power jacks)
I don't remember what the movie was. It was something not worth paying $5 for.
The flight attendant that served us made it feel like she really wanted to be there. Also, there wasn't a single announcement from the cockpit until we were over PIT and getting ready to trade some altitude for landing...
Almost 6 hours of flight time wasn't that great even though I had the best seat in the house (4F). I think going through DEN or ORD is much better option as I get to walk in the terminals which helps me to stretch my legs.
We landed on runway 9R at 8:22 pm local, 00:22 Z time.
I was disappointed with US' lack of service. I know they were just coming out of Ch.11 and the morale could be low, but at least they can try. A319s or any A320 series aircraft still is my choice when I am crossing the continent. US' 319 were clean, very new but the seats were not as comfortable as the ones I have been on UA, NW and HP.
With the way the fares are running these days I may still take US on non-stop flights. They are usually cheaper then UA connecting ones. My threshold still happens to be about $50. If the ticket price is more expensive till $50 of difference I still take UA over anybody else, as I think they have better product line with Econ Plus, Ch.9 and free movies/headsets

Topic: Be Expectant
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18. Read: Mk 11:22-26
Expectations gives birth to manifestations. What you don't expect in your heart and life you cannot have in your hand. Expectations gives birth to greatness. Lack of expectation is liken to being a babe. One of the characters that went into the King's presence without expectation was the daughter of the herodians and she ran to her mother who misled her. Expectation guides you in life endeavour to reach your height in destiny. One of the reasons why it seems as if prayers are not answered is because, many of us either go into God's presence with blank heart or heart full of ulterior motives that covet other people's achievements and fail to cultivate theirs. David said, "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him". Ps 62:5.
There're two kinds of expectations. (1) Righteous Expectation (positive). Only the righteous with expectations can have their heart desires granted. This means that, the righteous without expectations are already cut off. (2) Wicked Expectations (negative). The expectations of the wicked shall surely perish. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Pro 10:28. All wicked imagination and expectations will not prosper but perish.
* Go and present all your expectations before God and He shall grant all in Jesus Name.

You are here: Home » Commentary » News Archives » 2010
2012, hyped by the media and many lost souls as the cataclysmic celebration of "ancient wisdom", will end in the normal fashion after all. A simple turning of days into weeks, on into a new year. No burning asteroids or Yellowstone explosions. No definitive proof that the Mayans were imbued with special knowledge as a result of their intermingling with ancient aliens.
One imagines the perverse disappointment in many enlightened circles.
All of which is not to say that 2012 did not bring painful and destructive events. Topping the list must be Barack Obama's re-election. The national government will apparently be controlled by abortion zealots for another four years. That translates into a lot of lives lost, and too much time for the deeper penetration of Planned Parenthood's world view into the American soul.
One can foresee the coarsening of American culture and the hardening of the federal judiciary as the edifice of industrialized abortion is raised higher. The ending of the slaughter seems further out of reach.
But Christmas is a time of miracles. It is a time for celebrating God's merciful intervention on behalf of men. No mortal could envision the impact this tiny baby would have upon the future of mankind when a sojourning couple sought shelter in a barn. Yet this vulnerable new life would grow to become the Captain of the Heavenly Host, the mightiest Hope of mankind.
Arrogant politicians come and go, but the Hope of Mankind remains.
How magically appropriate that the true hope of the pro-Life movement should come in the form of a humble newborn wrapped in swaddling clothes. Through the power of that love the pro-Life movement will persevere. And what is more, the pro-Life movement will prevail.
May the Lord richly bless your family with His presence as you celebrate the Miracle of Christ.

Unanswered: Error message not displaying just blank page
Here is my partial code:

I need for the error message "could not execute the query

Right now if the user enters a wrong username the page result is just blank.

Double-Dip Recession And Policy Options
It is reasonable to expect the Serbian economy to decline up to -1% in 2012. A double-dip recession is inevitable. Lessons from the previous recession in 2009 suggest that an expansionary fiscal policy has clear limits, and that any misalignment of economic policies might be highly costly.This time, in addition to a recession and lack of policy coordination, the Serbian economy is exposed to the political risk associated with new elections. All of these risks deserve proper attention. In this paper, we provide a growth forecast for 2012 and discuss three potential policy response options. Coordination between fiscal consolidation and monetary expansion is the preferred solution. However, no one should take this for granted, and even if it is adopted by the Serbian policy makers, the problem of unsustainable long-term growth will remain. The model developed in this paper is a New-Keynesian model, modified to tackle the issue of fiscal consolidation. We expect that the inflation targeting policy framework will prevail in 2012, despite its poor record, and that this provides a good reason for using DSGE models to simulate policy options.

If you want the long version, scroll down past the pro's/con's and i will describe as much as i can do to you…Now for the short version: Pro's …. 1) Friendly staff, cheapcaribbean staff (Louisa and Mario) very helpful. 2) You won't like all the food but you will find plentiful things you like - it's generally very good, 3) drinks are great, 4) the hotel is beautiful and well taken care of, 5) beautiful beaches, pool bar is fun, other pools are either relaxing or exciting (there are different pools for whatever you are looking for), beach is the most beautiful beach i have ever seen, 6) very safe, 7) mostly adults, 8) comfortable room….All in all I feel I got more than what I paid for - totally happy with my 7 day vacation. Con's…..Room setup may be difficult for families - it's all open concept including the bathroom area (however there is a drape to close the room off). 2) The room may have been a little damp but it didn't ruin my stay whatsoever, it's the tropics….to be expected. 3.) SMOKERS - ALOT of people smoke there (we found this to be the case in Cabo too so I guess this is typical in tropic resorts). Everywhere we sat at the pool, it felt like there was someone by us lighting up a cigarette. Lots of Europeans who are not used to the smoking regulations in the US will sit right next to you and blow smoke in your face. This was the most negative aspect of our trip - rude smokers. I guess it's hard to fault the resort but it was very aggravating to say the least. My advice, just be smart about where you sit and which way the wind is blowing. If smoking doesn't bother you, then totally ignore what you just read. Other than that, I really don't have anymore negative things to say. This place was awesome! Excursion Tip: Go to Xel-Ha!…it's an all day trip but there's so much to do: snorkeling everywhere, scuba diving (Snuba), cliff diving, lazy river, exotic species, amazing natural beach with tidal pools, freshwater caves you can go into, biking, hiking, relaxing on private cabana beaches…just an amazing and beautiful all-natural water park…oh and it's ALL-INCLUSIVE for the day! Long Version……………………………. My partner and I (ages 27 and 31) just returned from our week vacation at the Riu Palace Mexico. I spent a very long time reading through reviews from the Riu Mexico and Riu Riviera Maya. Both get great reviews, but what made us decide Riu Palace Mexico was the fact that it was recently renovated, giving it a "new" feel, and the better reviews the Riu Mexico received regarding food (because that's important when you go away, right?). I'll tackle this review in separate categories, mixing in some fact and personal opinion about the resort: Dining options/Food - Riu Palace Mexico does a great job of having something for everyone, especially at the buffets. At the buffets, you may get tired of some of the food they have but they usually do have something new available every day. Yes, you do need to reserve dinner the morning of, each day, for the restaurants…starting at 8am. The process is very easy, you just walk down to the theatre and there is a representative right there with the list of restaurants waiting for your request. There are 2 seatings - 1 at 6:30pm and another at either 8:30pm or 8:45pm depending on the restaurant. I highly recommend the steak place - Guacamole. The steak is seasoned and cooked very well and to your personal liking, and the lobster tail we had was magnificent. The shot they served you that compliments your desert is out of this world! Next, the fusion restaurant, Krystal, was pretty good too. I highly recommend the lobster risotto and the shiitake steak! The mango cannoli is delicious as well. We were hesitant to eat at Krystal because we weren't crazy about the Krystal restaurant at the Riu Palace in Cabo, but this one was a lot better. Next, we ate at the Italian restaurant the last night we were there. I'd give it a 3.5/5…it wasn't bad, just nothing really impressive. We did not go to the mexican restaurant so I can not comment on that one. I will have to say though that in all the restaurants, the staff does an impeccable job of waiting on you and making you feel like you are their only customer. Very friendly as well. We tipped very generously because of how hard working and friendly they were. Beaches - Wow, most beautiful water I have ever seen! You can snorkel the moment you step your toes into the ocean. There's always beautiful tropical fish swimming past and around you. The beach is a soft, beautiful white sand. Plenty of chairs, shade and sun for everyone. If your looking for a vacation with a perfect beach, this is it for you. No locals bugging you for shady deals or anything. Oh and if you get tired of the buffet for lunch, they do a beach bbq every day with hamburgers, hot dogs, bbq chicken, sausage and peppers, fruits and veggies. And everything is fresh right off the grill - they pretty much cook to order right on the beach! Pools - We were very hesitant at first when we saw how the pool area was arranged. It's not your typical all-inclusive grand-style pool. There's separate pools for different activities. There's a bar pool, a water volleyball pool, a large lap/leisure pool and even a kiddie pool. Also, there are 3 infinity pools that are about 1 foot deep each if you want to just sit and read or put your feet in and enjoy the view of the beach in front of you. We almost chose the Riu Riviera Maya because they looked like they had the better, more tropical pool, but we ended up not having a problem with the arrangement. Besides, you can walk around to any other Riu and use their pool for the day….just make sure you bring the Riu Mexico towel with you and bring it back! They do not exchange towels between Riu resorts!! Anyway, the swim up bar is large and the bartenders are generally very friendly. They will make drinks stronger or weaker, just ask! There's 2 hot tubs the are associated with the spa that you can use whenever you like…however they are not that hot. Room - We loved the feel of the room. I admit the purple is a bit much but if that makes you have a bad time on your vacation then I don't know what to tell you. Beds are comfortable (It was NOT 2 beds pushed together, it was 1 king bed….and YES I AM SURE!). Make sure you request through cheapcaribbean that you would like a single king bed and not 2 beds pushed together. Also, the basic room through cheapcaribbean is an outside facing room…it does not face the interior courtyard, just an FYI. If you would like to face the interior of the resort, it's an additional cost/night. We faced the resort to our South, the Riu Yucatan. If you are on the other side facing the north, you face one of the Windham Resorts - just an FYI, they have a "disco-tec" until about 1am - I heard a few people from that side of the hotel complaining about it. So if you don't like noise, the South end of the hotel is quieter. The room layout is very open. I can see how this may be difficult for families. The shower and tub are open to the rest of the room. Although, there is a drape you can pull to close the room off. The toilet room is quite small, so if you are on the large side…you may have a difficult time. The rain head shower and marble floor is great…loved the spacious shower! Entertainment - no idea why some people are complaining about this aspect. They do an awesome job entertaining all day and evening. The theatre/stage ends around 11pm but the drinks are still flowing well past that. We were exhausted every night so we just went to bed by 11 - we played hard all day and evening! Grounds - The place is impeccable. Always being cleaned, landscaped, and manicured. Nothing was dirty or not taken care of. The staff works extremely hard there in everything they do. Palm trees everywhere, beautiful plants and flowers. Lots of wildlife too. You will enjoy using your camera to take beautiful pictures of the property. Gym - Not too great, just the basics…but you're on vacation! Spa - Crazy overpriced…we didn't take advantage of our spa credit. Just way too much money for a massage in Mexico. Sorry :( …The Riviera Breeze did a nice job massaging and healing my body anyway. All in all, great place - you won't be disappointed. I guess it's a good sign that on our 7th day we weren't sick of anything yet! If you have a hard time making a decision on where to stay (that's how I was), you will be very happy with your decision if you decide to stay here!
We just came back from Riu Palace Mexico. Very nice it really makes you feel like you are staying in a Palace. The service was excellent and so was the food. They will do anything to make sure you have a ggod time. I think the only thing lacking was nightlife things seemed to close early at this resort they need a bar that stays open late after all you are on vacation! It was close to town for shopping which was nice we could walk there. Overall I would highly recommend it.
This was our anniversary vacation we have been coming to this resort for the past 5 years for our anniversary and it had been great but this year it was really bad . We arrived Aug 28 usually they have our room ready with a fruit basket and rose peddles on our bed we always stay on the right side of hotel but this year they put us on left side at the very end of the hotel we got to our room and it was dirty and there was a half bottle of Pepsi left in the mini fridge we ask to be moved to another room and they said they were book and if we were sure that maybe one of us had not drank the Pepsi the room was hot we called back to the front desk ask for someone to come check ac they could not fix it so they moved us rooms. On the 2 room the mini fridge didn't work the shower head was broke it would not stay up so we called and they said they would move us in the morning . So on to our 3 room in this room my husband washed his hand and the sink was clogged we call to the front they came fix it but about 5 minutes later the room by the sink and shower was flooded the sink was leaking from the back wall by then I'm so faustred I was ready to come home. They came got that fix but we have wasted about 3 days of our vacation moving rooms. The next day we go have breakfast when we came back to the room there's a lot of ants coming in from the balcony they said they would send someone to spray but it never happen the manager there came up to us at dinner time and ask how everything was going so I informed her of all our problems and all she could say was she was sorry and walk away . I did notice there's a lot of new employees and there's about 5 that have been there since we have been coming I ask if they had sold the property they said no it's under new management so I guess that's why it has gone down so sad cause it was a really nice resort I guess next year we need to find a different resort I will not recommend this to anyone if you do stay there stay on the right hand side rooms are way better on that side left side is really ghetto!!! For the money we spend here we could have gone to moon palace and had great service
Beautiful grounds and gorgeous beach. The service was very good. Everyone was very friendly and extremely attentive. The room, grounds and the resort in general was kept impeccably clean. The restaraunts were very well run. They took temperatures of foods to ensure safety and freshness, presentation of the food was very appealing and done well. Great vacation and would go back to this resort again. The Olympus tours who ran all the excurtions we took were very organized and well run. The food and drinks were included. The guides were personable and informative as well as entertaining. The flights were overall acceptable..a few glitches but overall we got where we were going when we were supposed to get there so all was good. Mexico is a beautiful country and we enjoyed this vacation thoroughly. It was nice to have everything included and not have to worry about added expenses. This made the vacation relaxing and enjoyable for sure. We did have one day where it rained just a little..so hoping for our $100 off on our next cheap caribbean vacation!!! Very Good Company!!!! Nice job Cheap Caribbean!!! You get an A++++++ from our group of four!!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this resort. All Inclusive is the way to go. The staff was very accomadating in switching our room so that we could have a better view. The beach is absolutly beautiful with is turquoise waters. The resort staff was EXCELLENT. The staff was always smiling and always said hi. They absolute adored my husband and I. They were friendlier than the resort guest. lol. The rooms were spacious and was equiped with a sunken sitting area, king size bed and bar. The bar and refrigerator was stocked daily with sodas, water and adult beverages. Because the resort is all inclusive you also were able to order room service whenever you like. In our room we had a king size bed. It was huge but uncomfortable. I believe my husband and I were just spoiled from the bed at the Gran Melia in Puerto Rico. This resort offered plenty of food at its buffet style dinners. Some people chose the buffet and some chose to make dinner reservations at either of the 4 other restaurants. We enjoyed our stay at Riu Palace Mexico. This resort is located by other RIU properites. When you stay here you get to visit the other resorts if you like and enjoy their amenties at no extra cost. But the other resorts can't come to the this resort because its prestige. Also near by is a popular attraction called 5th Avenue. Which has PLENTY of shops, enteratinement, bars, restaurants, ferry and bus terminal. Absolutly a must see. It also has US dollars ATM and hotels. VIbrant night life. I loved it and the shrimp is the BEST!. I hope you get to enjoy this resort or its many other resorts next door.
This was the fifth Riu I have stayed at and it did not disappoint. The staff was very attentive and did an excellent job making us feel welcome and seeing to our needs. The complex is flawlessly maintained, the food was all very fresh and wonderfully prepared. The management is constantly visible, talking with guests and overseeing the operation.
We stayed for 3 nights/4days. This is our second stay at a Riu Resort. Our first stay was in Jamaica, Montego Bay and we loved it. We decided to stay at the Riu Palace Hotel in Mexico. We stayed in Playacar, which is a gated community. We had no plans to leave the resort but was pleased to see that security was in order. The food was excellent and there was always something open to meet our hunger needs. We had no problems making reservations at the restaurant and always got the time and location we wanted. However, the main dining room was delicious. We have found that the Riu has amazing soups. Our room was fabulous. It was clean and lovely. Our king bed was huge and the 4 bottle bar is fun with a full refrigerator...all part of the package. The Spa was excellent and was willing to meet my every request. The combination massage was great and the staff was so friendly. The pool area was nice. There are sunny and non-sunny spots to give everyone a break from the beautiful sun. The Riu has been a wonderful experience every time we stayed. This is the only hotel chain we will stay at while in the Caribbean and beyond. You will not be disappointed with the rooms, spa, food and pool area.
This is a fabulous resort. Clean, comfortable rooms. Amazing food. Beautiful beach. Attentive and friendly staff. I am not sure what more one could ask for. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this resort to anyone. A couple notes: - This resort is geared toward families and mature adults. Very few drunk college kids about the place. We appreciated that a great deal. But, if you are looking for the Cancun beach party experience, this is not the place for you. - We the exception of the Presidential Suites, there are only two types of rooms - those that the face the courtyard and those the face the other way (toward a walkway or toward the Wyndham resort. We faced the Wyndham and preferred that because the music in the courtyard are was quite loud at night. I personally think the cheaper rooms are better in this resort than the more expensive one. - RIU has a bunch of resort all in this area. We visited four of them to check them out. RIU Palace Mexico - Amazing. Ultra-modern décor. On the beach. Great service. RIU Palace Riviera Maya - Also lovely, but more traditional design. Also on the beach. RIU Yucatan - Kind of second class. Very crowded. Small rooms. RIU Tequila - Other side of the road from the beach. Lovely lobby, but rooms are spread out and look shabby. Pool area doesn't compare to the other resorts. No service at chairs in the pool. Pay up for one of the Palace location.
The Facts: 1. We went to Playa Del Carmen from Thursday 31-Jan-2013 (arrived around 12 PM local time at hotel) to Tuesday 04-Feb-2013 (left hotel at 11 AM local time) 2. There were 2 people in our party: me and my girlfriend. We are both adults in our 30's/40's. 3. We stayed at Riu Palace Mexico in a Junior Suite 4. We used pre-arranged transportation to and from Cancun airport The Good Opinions: 1. Service at the hotel was tremendous. EVERY person we met was helpful, cheerful, friendly and professional. 2. The beach and the proximity to the beach was perfect. The resort had plenty of chairs out at the beach. We could walk from our room, down the main grounds and onto the beach. 3. The food quality was superb and the food choices were excellent. We were never hungry. The food was always prepared correctly. I had more sushi than a hungry bear catching salmon swimming up river. 4. The room size was adequate and always very clean. 5. The bars were great and had a fair selection of drinks. The bartenders worked extremely hard but were always pleasant! The Not So Good Opinions: 1. The room, while very clean always felt a bit "damp". Even with the air conditioner on, the room had a humid and slightly, musty smell. It wasn't horrible but it was definitely noticeable. That same smell did not exist in the main part of the hotel or restaurants. 2. The privacy in the room was questionable. The main bathtub was in the open in the room. This was okay for me and my girlfriend but I couldn't see this working if I had been traveling with friends or family like siblings, kids or parents.
Spent a week end of Jan. The superior junior suite overlooked the courtyard, was otherwise the same as the standard jr suite. Some of the middle floor balconies had glass railings so you could look out (and people could look in) but half of them had solid concrete walls about 4ft high, so that you couldn't see straight out or down while sitting. The upper and ground floor rooms all had glass. The bathtub and sinks are out in the room, not separated by a wall. The shower stall is large enough to be a dressing room. The toilet is in a separate tiny room. A peculiar arrangement. Our middle floor room was quiet and comfortable. Food was very good generally. Breakfast was buffet, with vast selection, cooked to order eggs, fruit, juices, and even champagne and bloody marys. Lunch was buffet, or in the Mexican restaurant. We thought they were both very good. There are five a la carte restaurants, and a buffet for dinner. Reservations must be made the same morning for the a la carte restaurants, but the process was painless: go to the theater, wait a few minutes for your turn, and make your request. We thought the fusion restaurant was the best. The steakhouse was a great disappointment, and not as good as the buffet. Choices were very limited in all the a la carte restaruants, 4 or 5 entrees. There was barbeque on the beach everyday. Service all over the hotel was excellent, and cheerful.

A home simply cannot do without toilets and it is one of the most used part of the house fixtures in every home. Most of the time, most people only feel the real importance of the toilet the moment something goes wrong with it and it stops working as it should. Generally, toilets are easy DIY repair projects and anyone can easily fix them successfully. All you need to so if you have toilet repair issues is follow the tips below and your problem will be solved.
Determine the problem
The first thing you have to do is determine is what the problem is. It could be overflowing, slow moving or even clogged. When your toilet is slow moving, it means that you are forced to flush many times and the water drains quite slowly. A slow moving toilet is normally a result or a clogged sewage drain pipe and if the problem goes unfixed, you run the risk of a complete clog or even overflowing. You will definitely not like the mess that comes with an overflowing toilet, that's for sure.
A running toilet is where the water still continues to flow in the toilet bowl after flashing. A running toilet could use a large amount of water and will certainly raise your water bill. For this reason, it is important that you fix it as soon as possible.
How to fix the problems
No matter, whatever the problem is, you can fix it. If you have a clogged or a slow running toilet, the first thing you need to do is cut off the water supply to the toilet. You can do this by turning the shut off knob. This is normally placed on the left of the toilet just a few inches off the floor. To determine the problem, pout a bucket of water in the bowl quickly and if it drains slowly then you are dealing with a clog. You could use a plunger to de-clog and if you are successful, you can turn the water back on. If the plunger does not work then you can use a plumber's snake, which normally de-clogs almost anything.
Once that is done, you should try and clean the mineral deposits that usually develop in the small holes under the toilet rim. A stiff brittle brush will do the trick or you can use a coat hunger to poke at them. You can use a small mirror to look at them and see your progress.
If the toilet is releasing water in the bowl non-stop, then you have a running toilet. The first thing you need to do is remove the toilet rank lid and check the ball cock. This is the valve that the float is attached to. If the water is coming out of the valve, then it needs to be replaced. If that is not the problem, try to press down ay the flap located at the bottom of the tank and if the water stops running than that needs to be replaced.

Hannaford Bros. - 2008
This security breach affects all of its 165 stores in the Northeast, 106 Sweetbay stores in Florida and a smaller number of independent groceries that sell Hannaford products. The company is currently aware of about 1,800 cases of reported fraud related to the security breach. Credit and debit card numbers were stolen during the card authorization transmission process. It's unclear if personal information was exposed. UPDATE (4/2/2009): An April 2, 2009, news story indicated that between Dec. 7, 2007, and March 10, 2008, hackers stole credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates and PIN numbers from people shopping at Hannaford supermarkets. About 1,800 fraudulent charges had been made. UPDATE (5/14/2009): A federal appeals court has revived a Tampa class-action suit seeking money for Florida shoppers whose credit and debit card numbers were swiped in a data breach that hit 109 Sweetbay Supermarkets. The suit seeks free credit monitoring, credit repair if necessary and undetermined money damages to be split up among victims of the breach, including those unaware they were victims. UPDATE (5/22/2009): A Maine U.S. District Court dismissed most of a class action lawsuit against Hannaford, finding that there is no way to value the time and effort that consumers spent in correcting fraudulent activity resulting from the breach. The case of one named plaintiff was not dismissed. That plaintiff suffered actual monetary damages for unreimbursed fraudulent charges.UPDATE (11/2/2011): Federal Appeals Court Holds Identity Theft Insurance/Credit Monitoring Costs Constitute "Damages" in Hannaford Breach Case (Oct. 24, 2011) http://tinyurl.com/3kxxmnb. http://tinyurl.com/3jkg489UPDATE (3/29/2013): A United States District Court for the District of Maine has denied a motion that would have allowed a lawsuit to proceed as a class action.

12 September 2014 72 mins
Among the many victims of the military dictatorship that raged in Brazil from 1964 to 1985, a small group of guerilla fighters – Chael, Roberto, Reinaldo and Dora – got arrested, tortured, some of them killed or forced into exile. Before and after their arrest, during their torture sessions, the police photographed them. Together with the official reports, these photos are the material Anita Leandro worked on from the inside to bring these four people's fate out of oblivion.

RESURRECTION:STEPHANIE AFTER THE LILITHAN by Kristin Battestella gets Ladybugged
RESURRECTION:STEPHANIE AFTER THE LILITHAN is book SEVEN of the Fate and Fangs Series by
Kristin Battestella, and I believe the finalé. As finalé's go, this is a moving one in many ways...but before I review it may I say a part...the BUG part of me...wishes all seven books were combined to make one moving anthology.
Since that's not the case, let me just address this book. Stephanie is married to Dr. Michael Appolito and now that all the vamps have been made human, sorely misses the fang life she had so very briefly. The fact that Dr. Mike is delighted by his return to humanity pretty much tells Stephanie their marriage is dead.
Stephanie missing the power, the excitement, and no doubt about it, the immortality is a curious thing for the reader, at first, but is quickly dealt with.
RESURRECTION: STEPHANIE AFTER THE LILITHAN...the title pretty much says it all...
4 1/2 stars for this the last of the Fate And Fangs...and to Kristin Battestella...
I add a profound...

Discontinued App
Torah Reader is the perfect iPhone app for bar mitzvah tutors and their students. With the Torah Reader app you can learn the Torah and Haftarah leining at your own pace and wherever it's most convenient for you while either listening to your teacher's personalized recordings or to one of the 10 prerecorded weekly portions which can be downloaded for free. Not only can you listen to each aliyah and the Haftarah from beginning to end, you can easily select any verse to repeat the recording starting from the selected verse. For the Torah portion you can either hide or display the trope and vowels with a single click of a button. The app includes the text for all the portions of the week and the corresponding Haftarot in the Ashkenazi tradition, the Torah blessings, and the Haftarah blessings. The app also includes sample recordings for the first and last aliyot of the weekly portions Beha'alotcha and Matot as well as the corresponding Haftarot. It also includes recordings of the Torah and Haftarah blessings. You can also download for free, directly from the app, the recordings of the Torah and Haftarah leining for the weekly portions of Bereshit, Noach, Lech Lecha, Bamidbar, Nasso, Behaalotcha, Shlach, Korach, Matot, and Shoftim. Using the iTunes built-in file sharing feature you can easily transfer from a computer to an iPhone or iPod touch your own MP3 files and simple one line text files which specify the start time of each verse in the segment. To include your own recordings for any of the aliyot, Haftarot, or blessings you need to transfer to the iPod touch or iPhone an MP3 file with the name "part#.mp3†and a plain text file with the name "part#verses.txt†where # is the number of the option in the list. For example, for the first aliyah which is the first option in the list the files should be named part1.mp3 and part1verses.txt. For the blessings after the Haftarah which is the 12th option in the list the files should be named part12.mp3 and part12verses.txt. The text file should include one line of text with the start position in seconds of each verse separated by an underscore. The length of the line will vary based on the number of verses in the corresponding segment. The following is an example of what this might look like: 0_5.2_20.5_28.8_41_50_62.5_70_81_95.5_109_116.5_125_136 If you plan on uploading recordings for multiple portions of the week you will need to include the book and parashah index in the file name. For example, the files for the fourth aliyah of Mishpatim, which is the sixth portion of Shemot (the second book), should be "part20604.mp3†and "part20604verses.txtâ€. The files for the seventh aliyah of Lech Lecha, which is the third portion of Bereshit (the first book), should be "part10307.mp3†and "part10307verses.txtâ€. At trbeacon.com there are detailed instructions and screenshots on transferring the teacher files to your iPhone or iPod touch.

My research focuses on studying the linkage between two important components of natural systems: pattern in the distribution and relative abundance of species biodiversity and the quantity and rate of biogeochemical cycling, resource supply, and plant production and ecosystem function. In this endeavor, I subscribe to a view of ecosystem structure that recognizes that biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships should be examined in two important dimensions. There is diversity in the functional groups of species (plants, herbivores and carnivores) that comprise ecological food chains. There is diversity in the kinds of species belonging to a particular functional group (e.g, grazing herbivores, browsing herbivores). This dimensionality is what makes ecosystems complex. The endeavor to understanding this complexity is what, for me, makes ecological science so exciting.
I tackle issues of complexity using field experimentation guided by formal mathematical theory of species interactions. Both theory development and field research is aimed at identifying functionally unique groupings of predators and herbivores. These insights in turn motivate research aimed at discovering how species functional identity causally determines the species composition and productivity of plants in ecosystems, and ensuing ecosystem processes such as nutrient and carbon cycling. I also conduct research that focuses on elucidating how important environmental disturbances, such as global climate change and natural resource exploitation, alter the nature and strength of species interactions in ecosystems and ensuing ecosystem services.
I am also passionate about using scientific insights to aid efforts to conserve vital services that species in ecosystems provide to humankind. Such research evaluates how to rethink conservation strategies by considering species as part of a natural portfolio with substantial investment opportunity. This portfolio represents a wealth of potential alternatives to contemporary technologically intense and expensive approaches in environmental management.

The fourth edition of J.A. Cuddon's classic dictionary has been thoroughly revised and updated to maintain it as the most comprehensive and accessible work of its kind currently available, for students, teachers and general readers alike. Expanded to include many new entries, it has been improved throughout, in places rendered more concise, in others amended and extended, with both major and minor additions. The work of the third edition, to cover the schools and various terminologies of literary theory, is continued, without compromising coverage afforded to more traditional critical terms and topics.
**** The 1979 edition is cited in Sheehy and BCL3 under the title A dictionary of literary terms--the truncated title still used in the CIP citation. The new edition has been expanded to encompass literary theory and critical movements, and many of the 2,000 terms originally defined have completely revised entries. The definitions range in length from one sentence to several pages and are thoroughly cross-referenced. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

content is kaiser.
It's a long time since success in e-commerce meant just providing a value-for-money purchase opportunity online. It's all about purchasing experiences, convenience, personal added value and speed.

Cape Town - A school bus with at least 35 children on board went over a bridge and into a river in Knysna on Wednesday morning, leaving at least 10 dead and many injured. According to police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Potje, at least 10 bodies have been recovered so far. Divers are searching for more bodies. AMS and ER24 are on the scene to rescue the injured.The bus apparently went into a river in Rheedendal, Knysna.- Were you there? Send us your eyewitness accounts
So depressing! RIP and strength to the families
Definitely. It's so unbelievably tragic. How do you tell their parents?
Arrest the min of transport and fire all the metro police,mec for transport in that region.They are all sleeping on the job unleashing this killer buses and taxis on our roads.
Who thought these parents would wake today with such a terrible tragedy ahead. I really feel for the families.....
There is one silly if not stupid,who keeps on ticking on dislike for everybody,this is not a joke Mr insensetive
Shelly, I agree, how do you break the news? I would break down before they do. Very sad. Kids are not meant to die before they parents, life will never be the same.
@everyone - who are the muppets giving all these comments a thumbs down? Morons.
Parents must stay away from School buses, the owners don't care about the kids but money only, and they don't service their buses or taxi. Please drive your kids to school. RIP, innocent lives has been lost
Who keeps disliking the condolences messages? some people are really sick:( May God give the families strenght for their pain and may He give the injured enought strenght to recover.
I live in Knysna and have been listening to the ambulance sirens and helicopters all morning. It is very depressing. What I find even more depressing is this: The first post was "So depressing! RIP and strength to the families" and 3 sick phucs actually gave this a thumbs down.
OMW - I just cannot bear hearing about children dying :( It breaks my heart in tiny pieces.... how does a parent recover from this !
:'(. Tragic news. My thoughts are with the families.
Sad....I feel for the parents of these kids... :(
Dear Lord, this is so sad!!
My heart goes out to all these families who have had kids on that but and may God be upon their souls should there be survivors still....RIP to the 10 deceased...May the Lord be with your families with funeral arragements...
This is so sad! May the Lord be with their families and may the find comfort in Him! May theirs beautiful souls RIP!
Beautiful word Lerato.God Bless have an safe and peaceful day.
This so sad, my condolences to the family and friends and I wish those who are injured a speedy recovery.
Haai shame, thats freakin terrible!! Yesterday the shark attack and today poor school children. Thinking of the families. :(
How Tragic and depressing, RIP little ones, Condolences to the families and friends
So very upsetting - RIP little ones and strength to the families
May God be with the families.
RIP little ones... my condolences to the families. So sad.
Traffic accidents and fatalities in South Africa are reaching epidemic proportions. It is time there was a system in SA like UK where vehicles of a certain age have to obtain a roadworthy certificate before they can renew their car licence each year. Some of the vehicles on our roads are death-traps....Deepest sympathy to those involved
@Fiona. These busses go through a COF(certificate of fitness)at least once a year.Still it is very sad.
@Peter, you honestly cannot say that. A lot of schools do not own their own transport and hire busses for outings/tours. My kids went to a top school in Jhb two years ago and their very fancy looking rented bus got pulled off for being completely unroadworthy.
@Jen It is by law and before you get your new license you must do a COF at the department
@Peter did they say the bus was unroadworthy? Didnt see that, so dont be quick to blame!
I'm with Jen on this - just because it is the law, doesn't mean the operators adhere to it. Just ask SA Road link about the law... ps. Operations at SA Roadlink are winding down due to overexposure on insurance and legal - but a new service has been started by same owners. Jozi express. Word to the wise, new busses don't improve shoddy business practice, and it is unlikely that these same owners will suddenly develop respect for life...
For Pete's sake stop bickering! Children were killed here, have you no compassion?
@poefleser. bickering? we are discussing a very relevant topic here. Get real.
Regardless of the fact that the law requires Annual COF, it is still failing to achieve the required level of safety. Obviously there are many factors involved, driver skills, road conditions all play a part and need to be addressed, but a good place to start would be with much stricter vehicle maintenance and enforcement, COF or not, these are currently not even close to European standards. How many times do we see busses and heavy commercial vehicles broken down on the road, I see it daily in Durban, I also drive many miles a year in Europe, where to see an accident scene or a breakdown is significantly rarer, yet they generally have considerably worse weather particularly in the winter months and many more vehicles on the road. It has to be time to change something and that may well need to start with road users attitude. Condolences to the families, absolutely tragic and unfortunately probably very avoidable.
I wonder why I would get thumbs down for suggesting better law enforcement and regulation of safety matters, surely all good citizens would want to improve safety and conditions for all people? Without wishing to pre-empt the findings of this particular investigation, it is very likely that there will be 14 sets of parents who will be wishing this had already been the case. But yet clearly there are those in society who think otherwise, why I wonder, motivated by cost savings perhaps? I really don't know, but it sure is a very strange world we live in, when human life isn't the most important item on the agenda.
This is terrible! How do you survive this as a parent?
Condolences to those who have lost a loved one,
God's strength in the speedy recovery to those injured,
May the injury/s sustained not influence the rest of your lives.
very tragic and sad
Absolutely tragic! RIP and strength to the families.
RIP poor kids.
And another bus involved in taking lives,this needs to be dealt with urgently.
Oh So Sad. RIP
Oh my ..this is sooo sad..RIP little angels - safe in the arms of Jesus...condolences to the families ;-( depressing..at times like this it makes me try to understand the meaning of the word "accident"?
RIP...As a father of twin girls I would not know how to cope with this. My heart goes out to the families. God Bless the little ones who have been lost.
Busses and taxis in this country are bad news! Condolences, terrible story!
R.I.P Young ones and the driver....not the first victims and surely not the last on that dreaded road.....until something is done.....
This is just so sad... how many more tragic event are we going to have in this country. prayers to all the families and the knysna community
Tragic, tragic. The poor parents and fellow students - my heart goes out to all of you.
RIP they are in my prayer :(.
That is really hectic... Im from Knysna and lived in Rheenendal for years.can believe it. so sad
This reminds me of the Westdene bus disaster in 1985 when42 kids died in a similar way in Johannesburg :(
The memory of that dreadful accident came to mind the moment I knew of this latest tragedy. Really and truly horrifying
I remember that day. I walked into the house after school and my Mum gave me a massive hug. She was so upset. Most of those kids were my age.
Condolences to the families of those lost. Very tragic
How sad.
so sad indeed. May de Lord give strength to their families.
Amen to that..
Any reasonable country, would make it compusory for seat belts for each passenger in a school bus.
And that would help exactly HOW when they land in a river??? Probably prevent more from getting out in my humble opinion!
Most schools insist on seat belts, but in this case it may not have helped. Such a tragedy. RIP little ones.
another ten dead, probably more and again school children. all this on the day before we remember the 1st anniversary of the blackheath taxi/train collision. and i can empathise with the families of the knysna tragedy...no amount of sympathies can ease your pain and loss.
Our thoughts and prayers go to those families affected by this aweful trajedy, May they all RIP !
This is devistating. My condolenses to all concerned. When I worked at a hospital as PRO, I once had be present when a mother was told that her child had died. It remains one of the worst days of my life
this is terrible, may their souls rest in peace
My condolences to the Families, absolutely tragic. RIP little ones you are with GOD now and Safe.
How tragic, my condolences to all those parents. Now our bus drivers really need to be educated about the load and gold that they are transporting around. I am so sorry for the lose of life, no wander some mothers transport their own children on these outings.
Please take a moment and just pray for these families. It is so tragic. Brings back so many memories of the Westdene accident. My thoughts with you all.
This is terribly sad.
It reminds me of the Westdene dam incident in 1985, which I unfortunately witnessed. 42 children lost their lives.
The driver, William Horne, claimed that he had "suffered a blackout" just before the bus went into the water.
He was acquitted of culpable homicide.
Why the "thumbsdown" for my comment?
Some idiot with a keyboard burtfred,just another pathetic troll.
oh wow..my condolences :'(
@Sinvol, your comment is so insensitive, are you aware?
@Sinvol, why don't you go to Plett and spend time playing in the water? Maybe the white shark can help get us out of our missery. You know what I mean, that's if you have this thing called brains.
Sinful deleted his comment. Hopefully, he and his cronies are only ticking on the thumbs down now.
I pray God's hand over the kids that are in any bad conditions and I pray God gives peace to those who have a loss to their families... x
Something needs to be done about these horendous bus accidents. Nearly one a day
RIP Little ones. Your stars will shine in heaven.
Lovely sentiment Tomas
Bloody bus drivers!!! My heart goes out to the family and that poor surviving childrend.
RIP Liitle ones!

Chorley FC made a winning return to the Evo Stik League Premier Division with a hard-fought victory against North Ferriby Utd, who made it to last season's play-off semi-finals.
The Magpies were comfortably the better side for the first hour of the game and good value for their two-goal lead, before losing their way a little following the departure of highly influential midfielder Jamie Vermiglio.
The game got off to a cautious start with the two sides cancelling each other out, before Chorley gradually began to gain the ascendancy.
A neat bit of build-up play from right-back Dale Whitham, playing in the absence of Mark Ross, created an opening for Tom Ince, but he was bundled off the ball.
Shortly after Ince crossed and Andy Teague headed over the bar as Chorley's dominance grew.
It seemed only a matter of time before Garry Flitcroft's charges broke the deadlock, and they went in front on 44 minutes when Steve Foster ran onto a through ball and crossed for Chris Denham to mark his Magpies debut with a goal.
The former Altrincham striker's glancing header from six yards out going in with a little help from the post.
In contrast, North Ferriby were restricted to just one chance of note in the opening 45 minutes when Gary Bradshaw volleyed wide.
Chorley doubled their lead just three minutes after the restart when Vermiglio's surging run into the penalty area abruptly ended when he was tripped closing in on goal, and Foster slotted home the resulting spot-kick.
The Magpies were now well in control of the match, but Matthew Striland prevented any complacency setting into the visitors' ranks with a shot that rebounded off the woodwork.
Flitcroft decided to ring the changes around the hour mark as cramp began to set in, replacing Vermiglio with Tom Williams and completely changing the strike force as Denham and Foster made way for Mark Houghton and debutant Lee McEvilly.
Without Vermiglio anchoring things in midfield and Denham and Foster stretching the home defence, Chorley lost some of their dominance and North Ferriby began to claw their way back into the contest.
Houghton got a chance to put the game beyond the hosts, and Ince had a shot from distance, but otherwise the closing stages of the game belonged to the Humberside outfit.
Despite increasing possession the Chorley defence rarely looked like being breached, with Russ Saunders making an excellent debut in goal, but the chance of an opening day clean sheet disappeared with three minutes left, as Tom Walker fouled a North Ferriby player just inside the box and Paul Harsley converted the penalty.
The hosts pressed for an equaliser but the Magpies held firm to start their bid for a second-successive promotion in fine style.

The Washington Post, January 10, 2011
The new health law encourages doctors, hospitals and insurers to team up in treating patients, but these groups already are at odds as they urge the government to set rules protecting their financial interests. At issue are accountable care organizations, which the Obama administration hopes will spring up around the country, initially treating Medicare patients but eventually other people as well. As envisioned, these networks of doctors and hospitals might work for the same organization or separately, sharing information about patients and financial responsibility for their care. But the ACO concept -- like others in the healthcare law that rejigger the financial relationships among providers and insurers -- was written broadly. Lawmakers left it to regulators to figure out how to put the provisions into practice.

Hook area bank cards offer deals
The Fellowship of the Ring of Hook marketing company have developed free bank cards which can be used at venues throughout the Hook Peninsula, an area which features the number one local bar in the country, the most visited tourist destination in the county and two of the region's most celebrated restaurants.
The bank card is being launched at a business expo organised by Bank of Ireland at Good Counsel College in New Ross, on Saturday. The Enterprise Town event takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature a business, community and sports expo, as well as plenty of family friendly activities.
The Fellowship of the Ring of Hook was established by Wexford man Patrick Kent to brand and develop New Ross and the Ring of Hook area, so that the area is able to compete nationally and internationally and is not lost in all the hype of the Wild Atlantic Way. Mr Kent said he wants to take advantage of the current roll out of Ireland's Ancient East.
'Ireland's Ancient East is great but we believe it does not capture the real spirit of this area. Furthermore, we believe that we have everything and more that the Wild Atlantic Way has, and in a more compact area, and together with the onset of the new motorway we are less than an hour and a half from
Dublin,' Mr Kent said.
'Plus with the new motorway we don't want to be overlooked by all the tourist traffic coming from the Rosslare direction. Before reaching out to the national tourist market it is essential to gauge and capture the local tourism market - 'the locals'. It is said the hardest people to visit and partake in local offerings are those who live in the area.'
The company's initial strategy is to distribute 5,000 saving cards in the New Ross & Ring of Hook area offering exclusive special deals from each client partner for a three month period from January to March 2017.
The savings card will provide exclusive offers to customers rather than a discount card. 'By providing offers it permits the public to have an immediate external view of what the business is offering and therefore is more likely to enable them to engage. To participate in this stage, we are offering a sign-up fee of €150 for the period January to March 2017. This offering would normally be on the market for a cost point of €320 for businesses. To be part of the Exclusive Card with access to 5,000 potential customers as the cards will be distributed free of charge within the local area and the businesses then offer deals via the Fellowship of The Ring of Hook website. The savings card will be officially launched on November 19 at the New Ross Enterprise Town Event and will be listed on the website www.FellowshipOfTheRingOfHook.com - which will go live in December 2016. An extended Business Branding offer is available for businesses for €500 with sponsored branding on the back of the first 5,000 cards for the three months. Space is limited to the first six sign ups.
