Sarah, also spelled Sarai, in the Old Testament, wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. Sarah was childless until she was 90 years old. God promised Abraham that she would be "a mother of nations" (Genesis 17:16) and that she would conceive and bear a son, but Sarah did not believe. Isaac, born to Sarah and Abraham in their old age, was the fulfillment of God's promise to them. The barrenness of Sarah, cited in the preface (Genesis 11:30), stands in tension with the central theme of the Abraham saga, the promise that God will make him the founder of a mighty nation. With respect to the fulfillment of the promise, Sarah embodies the themes of fear and doubt, Abraham those of faith and hope. Her doubt drives Sarah to devise her own way of realizing the promise—she gives Abraham her maidservant, Hagar, so that Hagar might bear a child for them. When the promise is repeated, Sarah expresses her doubt in sarcastic laughter (Genesis 18:12). And when the promise is kept, Sarah, overcome by joy, still implies her doubt had been reasonable (Genesis 21:6–7). Her tomb at Hebron (Genesis 23) was a sign of Abraham's faith that God's promise of the land would also be kept.

If you're not doing so already, take steps to discourage employees and dependents from holding duplicate health coverage.
Example: Ford Motor Co. now requires employees to pay extra toward their health premiums if their covered spouses have duplicate health coverage at their own jobs or elsewhere.
Other companies encourage such double-covered spouses to get off their health plans by paying them an incentive bonus. Before doing so, make sure you obtain verification that the employee's spouse actually is covered elsewhere.

Today, the Open Modeling Coalition (OMC) has published a document titled, "Statistical Methods for Semiconductor Chip Design." The document was developed by the OMC's Statistical Working Group, and is freely available to the industry. The document is intended to advance the understanding in the industry of statistically based methods and to encourage and support their implementation and use. The publication outlines "best practice" techniques that are being adopted by much of the industry regarding statistical design and how such methods fit into a typical design flow.
Statistical Methods for Semiconductor Chip Design covers statistical techniques needed to ensure the progression of Moore's law. Lithographic and other process techniques are becoming more and more limited in what can be accomplished from one generation to another. To ensure that scaling can continue to provide the semiconductor industry and its customers the required improvements in performance, better statistically based tools and techniques need to be applied so that design specific requirements can be optimized around technology specific effects.

"The Era of Wasteful Spending in Columbia is Over"
The "Quote of the Night" definitely goes to T-Rav.
True, it wasn't quite as cool as saying "That's just how I roll," but South Carolina's Treasurer-Elect put a clever, fiscally conservative twist on Bill Clinton's famous "Era of Big Government is Over" quote from the 1996 State of the Union address.
Combined with the reelection of Gov. Mark Sanford and Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom, Ravenel's victory means fiscal conservatives now hold a 3-2 majority on the powerful State Budget and Control Board, drawing a curtain on the wasteful spending votes that became so rampant under the Harrell-Leatherman-Patterson "Axis of Pork."
Ravenel also showed a lot of class in praising his opponent, Grady Patterson, for the incumbent's lifelong service to the state, even though Patterson refused to debate him and attacked him repeatedly during the campaign.
"We can disagree on politics all day long, but anyone who's fought in two wars and given his so much of his life to the service of South Carolina deserves our respect, our admiration and our thanks," Ravenel told supporters in his victory speech.
Not only did T-Rav win, so did one of his signature issues - the ballot initiative to allow for international investment of our state retirement fund assets.
And capping off a solid night for T-Rav, his father Arthur Ravenel, Jr. was also elected to the Charleston County School Board.

First there was a Benefit pub in London a couple of years ago called Gabbis Head, which was all pink and done the best pink cocktails, now this summer they have taken over a boat.
Saturday 9th April was the first opening day of the Good Ship Benefit. A whole boat hosted by Benefit Cosmetics and decked out based on your favourite benefit products, with lots of pinkness to accompany that.
Where ?
Found along Embankment sitting on the river Thames with prime view of the London eye, you can book yourself in for a make over with one of the benefit girls and even get your eyebrows waxed before heading up to the top deck for dinner at the Lashitude restaurant.
You wont be able to miss it with the cute pink exterior heading down to the ship and its not even a 5min walk from Embankment tube station.
Lashitude Restaurant
On the opening night we went for dinner at the Lashitude Restaurant, with the interior based on the They're Real collection.
With a glowing orange Lashitude neon sign at one end of the restaurant accompanied by a large They're Real Mascara wand and a cabinet filled with the collection, you are completely in the world of Benefit.
The atmosphere is relaxing with a great soundtrack of some old school favourites, and the pretty isn't too bad either.
Looking right out onto the river thames you have the London Eye as the backdrop which has been lit up pink specifically for Benefit.
We started out with two cocktails, I went for the Pink Lady, which had the most exquisite taste, a must try if you are visiting and my friend went for the San Fran.
Expect high end London prices, but the quality of food is not to be faulted.
For mains I had the Seared Free Rage Chicken Breast, Braised Rainbow Chard, Carrot Puree, Peas, Salsa Verdi - £17.50
And my friend had Four Cheese Tortellini, Watercress Dressing, Rocket - £16.50
The mains were amazing but as you can see they are pretty small in size so there was obviously room for dessert haha.
The waitress suggested I try the California Cheesecake when I couldn't make up my mind which was £7.00 and my friend went for The Benefit Sundae - £8.00
Both desserts were so dreamy and definitely one of my favourite parts of the meal.
The service was really good, they had a lot of staff walking around so you were never left too long without being served.
I think with events like this its all about the cute little finishing touches that Benefit add, for example when you get the bill they bring it along with a sample of the They're Real Gel Eyeliner to try and a Lindt Strawberry and Cream Chocolate. So so cute.
Pinkton Parlour
After dinner we went for some drinks in the cutest pink bar ever and had a little tour of the boat where we saw all the rooms and got all the information about whats to come, everything is still being booked up as its still so new but I will definitely be taking a trip back in the summer for a bit of afternoon tea on the deck.
Its the ideal London hang out spot to catch up with the girls, or even hold an event, but its only around for 5 months so get booked in whilst you still can.
Whats on offer?
If you fancied something a little more sophisticated you can also have afternoon tea with a glass of Chandon, or how about a Bottomless Brunch.
There are many rooms to be found on board, its actually like stepping into another world as it looks so small on the outside.
Bookings and walk ins welcome, so you could pop in for a drink at the Pinkton Parlour which is beautifully decorated in all pink, with a pink piano and photo booth to top it off.
Or head to the lower deck to The Secret Vault bar which is based on your favourite Porefessional character.
Through out the ship you will find characters based on your products, who are more than willing to give you a tour of the boat and all the information you need about the events coming up.
Through out the summer they are going to have many events on the outer decks, with all drinks made especially from Mahiki and available to order in a life size Hoola makeup box, that glows pink. How cool is that.
Cocktails or yoga classes on the outer deck in the summer is a must, the view is just insane.
I will definitely be returning for another pink day with Benefit during the summer.

2 New Upgrades... What do you guys think?
Alright so my CPU is a little outdated (P4) and I decided to finally upgrade. I didn't like my options with the socket 775 cpus and Intel is just so fooking overpriced so I'm going with AMD... I just (literally 5mins ago) bought a ASUS M4A89GTD PRO Mobo (Usb 3.0, Sata 6.0 and all the nifty little features) and a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz (6 mb L3, 4x512kb L2) and apparently theres a way to unlock two more cores making it a quad? But I'm upgrading to those components from an MSI p7n Diamond and as previosuly stated, a P4 3.0ghz with 1mb l2 cache. Have I made a good choice?
|My System Specs
|14 Nov 2010
I will have to say the reason why the cores were locked(disabled) was because they did not match up with the quality they desired for performance. You may obtain BSODS related to unlocking the cores as well as some performance issues.
|My System Specs
|15 Nov 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Not a bad choice at all. Should give you a huge performance boost compared to what you previously had. As far as unlocking those two extra cores, mckillwashere put it best about that in that even if you could, you'd probably end up with BSODs. The only AMD CPU as of late that had a fourth core to unlock that worked sometimes was the Phenom II X3 720 if I remember correctly and even that wasn't always reliable.
|My System Specs
|15 Nov 2010
I looked into it and they did release a x2 version that was unlockable...
personally I would never buy a chip that had disabled cores for the simple fact that if one part of the production when bad whast to say something else wont fail later on?
It seems like there is a greater chance of that happening one one that has already been deemed not worth to be an x4, or even an x3 chip.
Granted at times they do just have a quota to meet on production so they will lock the cores and ship them as an x2 or an x3.
Mate I hope you the best on getting one of the ones with all "good condition" cores and have a happy unlocking

Do not do upgrades!
There are countless reasons not to do an upgrade from a beta OS to a beta OS but people seem to think it's still ok. I can't stress how bad upgrading these beta versions is. Stop doing it, or risk losing or corrupting our data. Don't believe me, just ask "cw-kid" over at "thegreenbutton"...

What upgrades should I get?
What upgrades should I get for my current rig? I kinda don't want to spend way to much on upgrading it as I'll be building a new one fairly soon, but I just want to get this one upgraded fully first.

About 800 former employees of the bankrupt Swift Galey textile plant in Muscogee County recently won a second chance at re-employment assistance under the U.S. Trade Act.
The U.S. Labor Department, which had initially denied a petition for assistance, granted a revised petition supported by the Georgia Labor Department.
Displaced Swift Galey employees may now be eligible for federal assistance in addition to aid they currently receive from the state. That assistance includes employment counseling, relocation assistance, remedial education, occupational training, tax credits and additional unemployment insurance.

It is said that the Ganadhara of the second Tirthankara, Shri Kadamba attained to emancipation � NIRVANA- along with so many munis. The mountain is known as Kadambagiri. It is known as Siddhakshetra because so many munis attained NIRVANA here.
The mula-nayaka of this Tirtha is Bhagavan Adishvara of white complexion. His idol is lofty and will certainly inspire spiritual feelings. This image, almost two meters in height, is seated in Padamasana posture. His facial expression is extremely calm and tranquil and highly inspiring. Acharya Shri Vijayanemi Surishvaraji, a master of the Scriptures has got this tirtha renovated. On this mountain, there are five lofty temples, five Meru mountains as also five ASHTAPADAS; these are very much impressive. The ancient CHARANA PADUKA of Rishabhadeva Prabhu is gloriously installed on a peak higher than even the new Jina temples ; so is there the CHARANAPADUKA of Kadamba Ganadhara.
This tirtha is situated at a distance of some 19 kms from Palitana in the vicinity of the village Bodanonera, in a secluded spot in the jungle. In the village in the valley there is a vast temple of Shri Viraprabhu. It is administered by the Sheth Shri Jinadas Dharamdas Religious Trust. It has the facility of lodging and boarding as also DOLI (Swinging cot). As this tirtha is looked upon only as one peak of the Shatrunjaya complex, its ancient age and importance are far great.

- The "preacher" who wrote that seems very biased and has completely missed the point. When the scriptures talked about "governments" and "leaders" that is exactly what was meant. To confuse those with corporate tyrants and financial terrorists is obscene. The Federal Reserve is not a government agency and nor is the New World Order. They are both corporations that believe people are chattel and should be treated as such.In a message dated 10/2/2006 7:39:14 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, frogfrmr@... writes:

Who to Complain To
If you dislike an advertisement you can complain to the advertising Standards Authority, the Commission for Racial Equality and the company that is paying for the advert. Or you can complain to them all. The managing director is unlikely to see your letter but his secretary may well pass it down the line to some one who will respond. The marketing director is the man who commissioned the advert, knows which market it is aimed at and knows how much it cost. He has a serious interest in how well these things work.
When you write a letter have a valid complaint, be polite, to the point and sensible. If you get the arrogant brush off, something the police specialize in the follow up is called for. Your MP can be very effective. He can ask a Parliamentary Question of the Minister. He can't be brushed off so easily.
The ASA - advertising
The BBC - television and wireless
The CRE - race relations - that is for us too
OFCOM - commercial television and wireless
The PCC - newspapers
Advertising Standards Authority
The Advertising Standards Authority works to keep advertising legal, decent, honest and truthful. The ASA resolves thousands of complaints each year.
That sounds reasonable. And you can even do it directly on line by going to their home page or how to complain
They have their very own complaints department. You can give them something to do. It is on line but you can use snail mail if you really want. You can even phone them and pay THEM money to listen to you by calling an 0870 number.
The real test of any organization is how it deals with complaints from the public.
Michael Grade
BBC Chairman
They talk the talk. Do they walk the walk? Call their bluff!
Commission for Racial Equality
Is about equality for Englishmen as well - according to the words in the Act. It is not the intention, far from it. The name is an advertising prospectus. Make them live up to it. They have the job of enforcing the Race Relations Act 1976. This means that they can initiate prosecutions using RRA 1976. See legalpowers.html
These can :
advise or assist people with complaints about racial discrimination, harassment or abuse
conduct formal investigations of companies and organisations where there is evidence of possible discrimination; if the investigation does find discrimination, the CRE can oblige the organisation to change the way it operates
take legal action against racially discriminatory advertisements, and against organisations that attempt to pressurize or instruct others to discriminate — such as employers instructing employment agencies not to send them applicants from ethnic minorities, or companies instructing their workers to discriminate in the way they provide goods or services
assist individuals to take judicial review action to challenge decisions of public bodies, including their compliance to the statutory duty to promote race equality ('the race equality duty')
If you object to the way that they have treated you then you can complain using complaints.html
The race equality duty is on line and can be down loaded as a freebie.
Ofcom deals with television, telecommunication, and broadcasting standards.
Ofcom was designed to be a 'super regulator', required in an age where many media platforms are converging. Ofcom was initially established in the Office of Communications Act 2002, but received its full authority from the Communications Act 2003. On December 29, 2003, Ofcom inherited the duties that had previously been the responsibility of five regulatory bodies:
- the Broadcasting Standards Commission
- the Independent Television Commission
- the Office of Telecommunications (Oftel)
- the Radio Authority
- the Radiocommunications Agency
It is their specific responsibility to deal with complaints from listeners. In one case there were 24 complaints about Fox News claiming that the Beeb was a pack of liars. Ofcom told them off. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofcom on the point.
Go to http://www.ofcom.org.uk/ for a direct link to their complaints department.
Press Complaints Commission
The PCC regulates newspapers and magazine but it has no legal powers. It does have newspaper men on its committee which leads to accusations of being to cozy with the industry. They have a code of practice which covers:-
Accuracy Opportunity to reply Privacy Harassment Intrusion into grief or shock Children Children in sex cases Listening Devices Hospitals Reporting of crime. Misrepresentation Victims of sexual assault Discrimination Financial journalism Confidential sources Witness payments in criminal trials Payment to criminals
See the Wikipedia on the point. Go to pcc.org.uk for a direct link to their complaints department.
Finding the marketing people can be easy or more difficult. Do a search on the company name using your favourite search engine. I tried Heineken because it was the first name that came to mind and got 7,700,000 hits.
Heineken does not work but then the world is not a perfect place. Their serious home page does. It is at heinekeninternational.com and has a 'contact us' link.
Errors & omissions,
broken links, cock ups, over-emphasis, malice [ real or imaginary ] or whatever;
if you find any I am open to comment.

*Roadmaster Active Suspension* Spring Special
Towing season is here!
Make sure your F150 is ready to handle all your towing and hauling needs this summer with the Roadmaster Active Suspension!
The Roadmaster Active Suspension is a heavy duty, variably rated coil spring that works as a muscle to hold the rear leaf spring in their optimum bowed position at all times. he more weight put on the truck, the more the RAS goes to work for you. No need to readjust, set it and forget it. Because the RAS is the only patented leaf spring suspension upgrade that works with the existing leaf springs to convert the traditional "passive" leaf spring suspension into an "active" suspension, the RAS offers a combination of benefits no other aftermarket suspension upgrade is able to provide.
Benefits of an RAS System
InstallationEach kit comes fully assembled out of the box, comes with illustrated instructions and can be easily installed without any special tools within 60-90 minutes. Requires no drilling, cutting or modifications of any sort.
If you are interested or would like more information on the group buy or the Roadmaster Active Suspension(RAS), you can reach me at 800-398-5036 or simply PM me!

Our previous Group Specials were a great success and we received great feedback from those that took advantage of the past group buys! I look forward to talking with some of you.
Does the 09-14 screw kit replace the rear leafs altogether? What is the warranty on the kit? Really wanting this for my 2009 to eliminate the terrible axle wrap. Also, can this be used with a rear level/ lift block kit?
Nolan, any thing on my above post?
The kit consists only of the brackets/spring that are attached to the leaf springs, we do not the entire leaf spring pack. We do have a 2 year warranty on the kit and a 30 day money back guarantee. We've outfitted a ton of guys with the axle wrap issue on this forum so this sounds like a great application.
To answer your question on whether the RAS will work in conjunction with rear lift block, it will work perfect so long as the blocks do not interfere with the "axle connecting" brackets. We have come across a handful of instances where the on odd shaped block or "snubber" protrudes the side of the u-bolts that will not allow our axle connecting brackets to properly fit arround those u-bolts. Again, these are rare cases and we typically will just have the truck owner take a peak under the suspension to be sure.
Hope this helps!
I LOVE my RAS system! It's the 2942 older generation setup that bolts to the U bolts but works awesomely! After the install I noticed the axle wrap was GONE even with towing my camper! Extremely happy with this setup!! Well worth the $$$!
is this still going on? I'm interested
Sorry I am late, but still interested in the RAS for 2013 F150.
Looking to buy a set for my 2013 SCAB FX4 shipped to 98374...
Does anyone know if I should adjust my RAS after a few trips and if so, do I need to totally take all of the weight off my shocks again? It seems like I'm not getting the full benefit of the RAS but I'm afraid that the rear of my truck will sit even higher?????

The three children were thrown from the van, and were flown to Women & Children's Hospital in Buffalo. Their parents were taken to ECMC.
Neamon was also hurt. Sheriff's deputies are questioning him as they look into the cause.
The investigation is ongoing.

Eye drops are a must for patients who have undergone surgery. They are also a must for those who are suffering from eye infections and other eye related problems. Eye drops are also used to treat dryness and for many, eye drops are used to treat glaucoma. These little bottles are often found in medicine cabinets. So, how well do you know how to use them?
After Care Of Laser Eye Surgery
Experts suggest that one should refrain from using multiple types of eye drops, if not prescribed by a specialist. One should also pay attention to the expiry date as using drops that crossed their expiry date will lead to more complications.
Eye drops are often sold over the counter and they pose a threat when one doesn't follow instructions on how it's supposed to be used. There are certain do's and don'ts when it comes to applying eye drops by yourself. Here are some of the things one should know before using eye drops.
Vitamins & Tips Your Eyes Will Love!
Note: If you are applying eye drops by yourself, follow this method - Tilt the head backwards and open both the eyes. Now, look at a point on the ceiling. Pull the lower lid of one eye gently to form a pocket for the drop. Position the top of the bottle and allow the drop to fall into the pocket of the eye lid. Don't rub the eye after the application. Close the eye and repeat the same procedure for the next eye.
Don't Apply Too Many Drops
When applying eye drops, it is suggested to drop in one at a time. Placing little drops in the eye will allow the medication to work, otherwise it will roll down the eye and will be a complete waste.
Not All At Once
If prescribed with more than one eye drop, it is advisable to wait for 6 hours before applying the next set of drops. Using both the eye drops might cause a reaction in the eye.
Keep A Track Of The Dose
Keeping a track on the dose is one of the things to know before applying eye drops. Missing doses or overuse can affect treatment. It is suggested to keep a log chart every time a drop is applied on the eye.
A Watchful Eye On The Date
It is important to store eye drops in a cool environment, away from direct sunlight. It is also vital to check the date of manufacture and expiration before purchasing the eye drops. This is one of the many things to know before using eye drops.
Regular Eye Checkups
Patients who are suffering from severe eye problems or constant eye problems should make it a point to visit the doctor regularly. This helps keep track of the treatment.
If witnessing any problem with the eye, it is important to not opt for self-diagnosing. Visit the nearest specialist immediately to treat the problem.
Place It The Right Way
You should aim the drop in the outer portion of the eye and not the inner corner of the eye. After application of the drop, one should not blink excessively or rapidly. By doing so, it will pump the medication out of the eye, as opposed to moving it around.

The meeting was convened in light of the past year's avalanche of reproduction-related news, from the case of Nadya Suleman (the "Octomom") to that of Carolyn Savage, who was mistakenly impregnated with another family's embryo, carried the baby to term, and then gave the baby to its biological parents. These and other high-profile cases involving IVF embryos (in both the U.S. and the U.K.) have caused infertility doctors and patients alike to take pause and reexamine what they know about ART practices.
The individual sessions focused on:
- legislation at the federal level
- rules and responsibilities at the state level
- professional self-governance
- widely-varying international practices
- women's health and reproductive rights advocacy
- past, present, and future legal issues
And Liza Mundy, a Washington Post reporter and the author of Everything Conceivable: How the Science of Assisted Reproduction Is Changing Our World gave the lunchtime keynote speech.
The day was billed by one reproductive endocrinologist as, "A good start to the dialogue"; a sentiment that seemed common among the attendees.

Sonora Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
Have been to Sonora several times.
Good food, nice atmosphere, and good service.

Is specialty drinks. Wasn't worth it. Didn't
Spend enough on food. What a bad business
Decision. WILL NOT GO BACK.
We have been dining at Sonora for 14 years and have always had a top quality meal with excellent waitstaff. We are not people that always dine at the same restaurants... Sonora is the exception. The fried calamari salad and the new brussel sprout salad are our favorites. The tacos are superb and the guacamole made at your table is perfect. The fondue dessert is outrageous.
I dine at Sonora often because their tapas are outstanding. It's always fun to come and try new tapas with friends. Their staff is attentive and knowledgeable and very friendly. I am a huge fan of their mojitos-easily the best in Westchester. I recommend the guacamole (made in front of you) and the calamari salad- it's amazing!
Everything at Sonora was excellent. My only complaint is that it gets pretty loud. Not sure if that's the restaurant's fault, or the area... Many places in Westchester seem to be exceedingly loud. The food is fabulous. They have great cocktails, and the setting is quaint and inviting. We will definitely go back. It's well worth it.
The food was excellent. Also I really loved the White Sangria with Mango. Would definitely go back. We had the guacamole, duck quesadilla, mahi mahi tacos, cauliflower and the skirt steak for my main dish. It was all excellent. my only complaint is that the restaurant is extremely loud.
From the welcome at the door to the very end the staff were fabulous! We had a party of 8 initially with 3 leaving to go the Capital theater. Our table was perfect. The food and service were outstanding. The wine was reasonably priced with a good selection. We had a wonderful evening! Thank you!
Came here for restaurant week with my husband and we really enjoyed it. I had short rib pastels, an excellent red snapper, and the pumpkin churros, everything was really good. I also had a couple of their spicy margaritas which are not for the faint of heart! Hubby had the tuna tacos, beefsteak and the cheesecake. The tacos and cheesecake were amazing, beefsteak was pretty run of the mill but not bad. I'm not a big steak person anyway. The portion seemed a little small but we weren't paying full price so I didn't mind. The atmosphere is really cute and the service was very good. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. It's a little pricey normally but I would definitely recommend for a special occasion.
Food was authentic, very well made and tasty however the service leaves much to be desired. Our waitress on Friday night appeared sick, was sniffling, sneezing around the customers food. She should have excused herself for the night. Additionally, our seating, which was requested on Open Table to be in a quiet table was initially center of the restaurant, and when asked to move they wanted to seat us in the hallway!?! Bizarre use of a hallway to squeeze extra tables in. Eventually we were moved to the center table downstairs, not a quiet remote table as requested. Towards the end of the meal our waitress disappeared completely, having the bus boy ask if we wanted desert. Yes, we told him we would like a desert menu and 30 minutes later were still waiting. The food tastes great and makes up for the lack of good service, but after reading many other reviews complaining about the staff I would say its time for some training and an overhaul on employees. Sonora - lets make the service match the quality of your food!
Went for a "date night" dinner with the hubby. Delicious tapas, good quick service, nice wine list. We sat upstairs which was a bit quieter than below. Comfortable booth table. Nice music mostly, though could have done without 2 Ricky Martin songs. But food was great, and tapas are fun, which are most important in a restaurant to me.
Dinner with friends during Restaurant Week was not up to par. Staff seemed annoyed that some of us ordered from the special menu by pointing out the smaller size of the included dishes. Despite that, the food was not up to Sonora's usual standards. Dishes were brought to the table lukewarm. Utensils had to be requested. Should the lobster bisque be served without spoons? And with virtually no lobster present? Chocolate and Cheesecake desserts were excellent as was the guacamole and sangria. We hope that this was a case of a restaurant just having a bad night and not indicative of a more serious decline.
We really enjoyed our visit. The food was very good and the service was exceptionable, but it was lunchtime and the restaurant was empty. For a restaurant Week menu, the food was very good. Our only problem was getting there as we don't live in the area and had forgotten to bring their phone number. If we lived closer. I'm sure we would be there more often.
I went here for restaurant week and it was absolutely devine. I looked through dozens of menus on valley table and honestly I was most impressed by Sonora's. In my opinion they have the best Restaurant week menu out there. The puplo was awesome! I followed that up with the personal paella and of course the pumpkin churros! Our waiter Antonio was kind and easy to talk to, and the service was perfect. I might have no choice but to come back again before restaurant week is over!
A very mixed experience. We went on what was clearly a busy Saturday night. We had reservations and waited ten minutes for our table which was not an issue. The problems started with the wait for initial service and drinks once we got seated. Things got worse as our waiter simply never returned for 15 minutes after we ordered. Drink orders went left unattended. After waiting over an hour for our dinner to arrive, I asked to speak to a manager. My first few requests went unanswered and then we found a waiter who could clearly identify with our frustration. Eventually a manager came by to apologize for the poor service. The reality is that once the food arrived it was easy to see why the place was so crowded. The meals were outstanding. So the lesson learned is you have to pick between service and food. One part great and one part terrible.
We went to dinner for my husbands' birthday with 2 friends. Our tapas were delicious. When trying to get the waiters attention to order another drink, the owner saw us and came over to our table. We explained the birthday boy wanted another drink. He quickly told our waiter to bring the drink for free. The main courses we outstanding: salmon, shrimp/scallops and Branzino (2). We werentbgoingbto have dessert but the owner, Rafael Palomino, sent two complimentary desserts to our table. A real class act. Love this place.
Very nice restaurant. Nice for friends get together, special occasion or date night. It was my best friends 19th anniversary. The waiters came over with a candle and dessert for them. We used a Groupon, the food is good, very different and the sangria and mojitos were awesome.
My only concern were the portions were in the small side for the price. I enjoyed it very much yet don't know if I'd go without a "deal" we came out with a $150 bill after the Groupon which was 1 pitcher of white sangria, 4 mojitos, a couple of side dishes and one dessert
Excellent food and an inventive menu. We had a long unhurried meal. The only complaint we had is that they seemed understaffed, so our water glasses were often unfilled even after several requests. All, in all, however, a great dining experience and we will return ourselves and recommend it to others.
Came here with my friends and we had a blast. Perfect place to meet up with friends and share some excellent dishes. We tried everything from the chicken tinga arepa to the empanadas, the coconut shrimp, the scallops & the cauliflower. Everything was really good and we can't wait to come back and do happy hour
Took my husband here for his birthday and the food was great - would recommend 5 tapas or 4 tapas, 1 entrée - it was perfect. Service was great - they do space out the timing of when they serve the tapas, which is better vs having them all come out at once. Even the valet and bus boys provide great service, so all around worth the trying out Sonora. The pinchos, empanadas and coconut shrimp are a must. Only suggestion would be to have better homemade hot sauce vs just tobasco, otherwise it was near perfect experience.

Which phrases do you use? "Back then I had it all…" "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" "If only I could fast forward…"
It occurred to me that I always seem to have my head in the future. As with everything, I am sure there needs to be a balance. Too much unrealistic nostalgia for past times or too much 'living for the moment' can't be good either. Buy if we are living in the future all the time, great things are never accomplished today. If, like me, you are always looking for the next capability to learn, maybe stop and take the time to really investigate and use what you already have really well before moving on to the next thing. If we keep developing new capabilities but then never using them, they aren't going to be very effective for anyone.
Let me know what you think.

In a decision dated 21 July 2015 the District Court of Braunschweig has increased the protection of documents against seizure by criminal prosecution authorities in the context of internal investigations. The decision has significantly extended the scope of legal privilege which is, however, very disputed in Germany as in 2010 the District Court of Hamburg denied the application of legal privilege in the case of HSH Nordbank.
The background of the discussion is an ambivalent situation that is regularly associated with an internal investigation: On the one hand, the misconduct of individual employees may already be prosecuted by the competent authorities. On the other hand, the company carrying out the internal investigations is not yet subject to the preliminary proceedings of these authorities. In this respect, the District Court of Hamburg held that documents prepared by a law firm on behalf of the HSH Nordbank were not exempt from seizure. Instead, the lawyers were ordered to hand over attorney work products to the investigating authorities. The District Court of Hamburg explained its decision mainly with the fact that (i) only the HSH Nordbank – and not its incriminated employees – is qualified as the lawyers' client and (ii) there was no mandate-like relationship of trust between the lawyers and the incriminated employees. Therefore, the documents were not protected against seizure under Section 97 German Code of Criminal Procedure (Strafprozessordnung, StPO).
The District Court of Braunschweig now takes a different approach to assess whether or not the disputed documents also serve the legal defence of the company itself. The District Court of Braunschweig found that
"the initiation of investigation proceedings against the affected individuals (…) does not constitute a necessary requirement, as a relationship of trust concerning the preparation of a defence worthy of protection may also exist if the client merely fears the future initiation of investigation proceedings."
In order to determine whether or not the relevant documents were prepared at least partly for the purpose of defending the company against future investigation proceedings, the District Court of Braunschweig examines the timeline. It differentiates between documents that had been created before the first seizure of documents (in the decided case: auditing reports) and those that were created after that date (in the decided case: documents created by a law firm). According to the court, in the first case the documents are missing the required purpose of defence, while the latter meet this condition. As a consequence, the documents drafted in close temporal relation to the opening of criminal investigations are exempt from seizure (Section 97 para. 2 StPO).
Although this decision was – as usual for appeals against a confiscating order – made on the level of a district court, the position of companies carrying out an internal investigation on the basis of suspicions has been strengthened significantly. In the course of future internal investigations, it is advisable to document precisely that the relevant documents have been created for the purpose of a legal defence against subsequent investigation proceedings. With regard to regular auditing reports, this will not be sufficient. In this context, the documents focus on risk management. As soon as further investigations are based on documents such as auditing reports, however, a respective defence purpose should be documented. That way documents created by external lawyers as well as internal documents may be protected against a seizure in the course of future internal investigations.
However, it has to be noted that decisions of a district court have no binding effect in Germany. A different district court is not prohibited from ruling otherwise. Unfortunately, diverging court decisions have to be expected in the present situation: Currently it is the prevailing view in legal literature that – contrary to what the District Court of Braunschweig held – the threat of future prosecution does not suffice to substantiate the alleged purpose of defence with regard to the relevant documents. On the contrary, the prevailing opinion in legal literature suggests that for such purpose of defence, investigation procedures against the company must actually have started.
Nonetheless, the decision of the District Court of Braunschweig is more than welcome as it strengthens the position of companies carrying out internal investigations and constitutes an opportunity to reconsider the scope of legal privilege in Germany.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My cars low coolant light comes on and then goes off on a daily basis, on 1997 Oldsmobile LSS
It has plenty of antifreeze. Is this a sensor?
yes, could be. the sensor is in the radiator. the coolant in the rad needs to be checked cold and added as needed. the overflow bottle needs to be topped off as well.
I was told the sensor is on the resavoir. I looked on the radiator and i couldn,t locate it.It is the regular 3.8 not super charged.What do you think. OH its a 1997 olds 88 lss. thanks for the input.
If your coolant system has no leaks then the only thing to check is the coolant tank. If it goes low then you have a coolant leak. It's common for the low coolant sensor to go bad.
Thanks. You were very helpful.

Dear SW, I'm glad he seems to have seen the light. Stay on top of him, though, if my bitter experience is any guide, he will eventually try to sneak things. My fatty shows no sign of wanting to change. She's now added a massage to her daily routine, in between breakfast in bed and a late lunch at a buffet or IHOP with her obese friends. She says it relaxes her and helps with her bad back, brought on, no doubt, by the strain imposed upon it by a stomach that hangs to her knees.

"I don't think it will ever happen now," he said after Tottenham's 4-1 win over Bolton. "Roy has four years, and I hope he sees it out and has great success at the Euros."
Redknapp had been widely assumed to be the leading candidate for the position, but he said he felt no disappointment at not being made an offer, and was relieved that the speculation over his future had subsided.
"I didn't wake up on Monday morning and think: 'What's happened to my life, I'm not the England manager'," he said.
"It's saved me making a decision, because I'm very happy at Tottenham. I'm fed up of hearing my name mentioned. I'm history with that job. It's Roy Hodgson's job now, and I wish him the best.
"If they'd interviewed me I don't think Roy would have wanted it. I don't think I'd have done either if they were going to interview someone else.
"They made their minds up, and it's good enough. I'm looking forward to a summer holiday. I have had a difficult year, so I'm looking forward to have a break, going away with my wife and then coming back and watching the Euros.
"There's lots of lads about cleverer than me managing lower division clubs. I'm lucky, I'm managing one of the top four clubs in the country. I get very well paid, I've got a fantastic job, so I don't feel anyone owes me anything."
Tottenham's win last night means they will definitely finish in the top four if they win their remaining two games against Aston Villa away and Fulham at home.
"We've had a dicky spell, now we're coming back strong," Redknapp said. "Newcastle winning at Chelsea; I couldn't see that, in all honesty. It's all to play for still."
Bolton manager Owen Coyle complained that Sandro had handled the ball in the lead-up to the corner from which Tottenham scored their opening goal, but retained a belief that his side could avoid relegation. "We've taken a smack in the teeth," he said. "But we know we have enough quality to get two huge results."

Every year, large amounts of resources are invested by federal institutions in preventing premature deaths during adulthood worldwide. Unfortunately, the mortality impact of such interventions in a large number of target countries remains unclear because very few developing countries have complete vital registration systems to monitor adult mortality accurately. Instead, adult mortality rates are commonly estimated from retrospective data collected during household-based surveys, by asking respondents about the survival of their maternal siblings. These siblings'survival histories (SSH) are inexpensive to collect but are potentially affected by large biases, including sample selection, recall and interviewer behavior biases. As a result, estimates of the level of adult mortality in developing countries are frequently contested. Sophisticated statistical adjustment techniques have been proposed to correct for sample selection biases, but respondent errors (i.e., forgetting of siblings) affecting retrospective mortality data are considered inevitable. In this project, we will test whether a new survey instrument helps improve the quality of data on siblings'survival collected during surveys. This instrument - the siblings enhanced life calendar (SELC) - is based on recall cues and life calendars. These are simple tools that have been widely and successfully used in other areas of survey research. They have however never been used to improve the recall of adult mortality data in developing countries. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial of the new SELC, which will determine whether this new instrument improves mortality data relative to standard instruments currently in use. We will evaluate this improvement by comparing reports of mortality in each arm to a gold standard obtained from demographic surveillance. We expect that close to 400 respondents in three rural populations of Senegal will participate in this trial. If successful, the proposed SELC will constitute a new approach to eliciting retrospective mortality data that can be tested on a larger scale and possibly incorporated in national surveys of adult mortality (e.g., DHS).
The project is a randomized controlled trial of a new survey instrument (the siblings enhanced life calendar, SELC) used to collect retrospective data on adolescent and adult mortality during household based surveys in developing countries. We hypothesize that by using recall cues and a life history calendar approach, the SELC will limit forgetting of siblings and foster more accurate reporting of these siblings'ages during interviews. As a result, it will help reduce current biases in estimates of adult mortality in developing countries. If effective, the new instrument will permit 1) better describing the burden of disease borne by adults in developing countries, and 2) evaluating the mortality impact of large public health programs targeting adult health including AIDS treatment programs or maternal health interventions.

Malcolm I. Ross
|New York, NY
|v. +1.212.885.5141
|f. +1.212.391.7616
Malcolm Ross focuses his practice primarily on the representation of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, or their underwriters, in the private and public offering of securities, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and debt restructurings.
In addition, he has experience in the areas of private equity, the representation of special committees of boards of directors, and general corporate advice to public companies, including regarding corporate governance. He also has particular industry experience in the telecommunications and wine and spirits supply and distribution businesses.
After six years as a corporate associate at an Am Law 100 firm, he joined three of his colleagues to found a boutique corporate finance and mergers and acquisition firm. The firm grew from the original four attorneys to 30 attorneys. From 1992 through 2001, Mr. Ross was a partner at a Chicago-based Am Law 100 firm where he served as the Global Coordinator of the firm's International Securities Practice, supervising a group of 75 securities attorneys.
Debt Restructurings
Mr. Ross has been the corporate adviser to several companies in Chapter 11 or international insolvency proceedings, and has negotiated with creditors and other stakeholders regarding the reorganization of the companies both inside and outside of court supervision. He also has represented debtors in significant asset divestitures (in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code). He represented an Australian conglomerate in its restructuring with creditors on four continents of more than two billion dollars of bank debt and publicly held debentures after the acceleration of all of that debt. He was also the lead corporate attorney in the first in-court restructuring in Jamaica of a public company under the applicable Jamaican law.
Securities Offerings
Mr. Ross has been involved in more than 300 securities offerings during his career, representing issuers and underwriters in offerings of equity, debt, and convertible securities, including many high-yield debt securities offerings. Included in those offerings is representation of many of the world's largest investment banking firms as underwriter or placement agent.
Noteworthy capital raisings in which Mr. Ross was involved include the first offering of subordinated debt and first registered public offering by an Australian company; the first letter of credit-backed securities issuance for a non-finance company issuer; the largest IPO, at the time, of a multinational gold company; the first two privatizations by global capital market transactions for Indonesian companies, resulting in simultaneous New York and Jakarta Stock Exchange listings; the first registered stock offering and Nasdaq quotation for a Taiwanese company; and the first offering pursuant to Rule 144A by a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mr. Ross began his career as an associate in the Mergers & Acquisitions group of an Am Law 100 firm during the 1970s, and was involved in many of the early well-known mergers and acquisitions of that period, most of which were begun as hostile tender offers. His practice in this area evolved into negotiated acquisition transactions, leveraged buyouts, and significant divestiture transactions involving non-strategic assets. Mr. Ross also represents investment banks as financial adviser in merger and acquisition transactions, including advising on fairness opinions, and special committees of boards of directors in "going private" and other related party transactions.
Mr. Ross has been named "Dealmaker of the Month" by The American Lawyer for his work in the area of mergers and acquisitions.
Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances
Mr. Ross has been the lead attorney for a number of significant domestic and cross border transactions in which joint ventures and strategic alliances were created. He has particular experience regarding the governance and exit strategies for these structures. Many of his transactions have involved the formation of entities in emerging markets wherein multinational strategic players expanded their geographic reach and where leading private or state owned companies from emerging markets made minority investments into large U.S. companies through the joint venture structure.
Mr. Ross has been an Adjunct Professor of Law at The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City, where he teaches U.S. Regulation of International Securities Transactions, and a faculty participant in the activities of The Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center on Corporate Governance. In addition, he has lectured to attorneys with respect to new developments in securities law, rules, and practice; has conducted the annual Euromoney Seminar in London on global securities transactions; and assisted the Securities Regulation Committee of the Bar Association of the City of New York in commenting on proposed rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

U.S. Asks Educators to Reinvent Student Tests, and How They Are Given
September 7, 2010
Standardized exams -- the multiple-choice, bubble-in tests for math and reading -- are being overhauled. Over the next four years, two groups of states, 44 in all, will get $330 million to work with hundreds of university professors and testing experts to design a series of new assessments that officials say will look very different from those in use today, says the New York Times.
- One group, led by Florida, will be made up of 25 states and the District of Columbia. Among its members are several large states like California, Illinois and New York. Known as the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, the group was awarded $170 million.
- The other group, whose membership overlaps the first, has 31 states and is led by Washington. It includes other Western states like Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah, as well as some in the East, like Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. The group, which won $160 million, calls itself the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
The new tests are to be ready for the 2014-2015 school year. They will be computer-based and will measure higher-order skills ignored by the multiple-choice exams used in nearly every state, including students' ability to read complex texts, synthesize information and do research projects, says the Times.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan set aside $350 million from the billions that Congress voted last year for the Race to the Top grant competition to finance the testing initiative. The department has not yet said what it will do with the $20 million not awarded to either group of states, says the Times.

ROYERSFORD >> The Spring-Ford girls soccer team has found any number of different players step up on a given occasion this season.
So why not a girl who hadn't scored a goal all season?
Enter Allie Christman.
With the Rams trailing Downingtown West 1-0 at halftime of their District 1-AAAA girls soccer playback for the fifth and final berth to the PIAA Championships, the junior sparked Spring-Ford with a cool finish – her first of the year – in the 45th minute before Kelly Franz hit for the eventual game-winner just two minutes later as Spring-Ford kept its season alive, 2-1 over the Whippets at Coach McNelly Stadium.
"We had the motivation being one down knowing we had to come out, work hard and keep attacking. If we keep attacking and taking shots we'll eventually get one in," Christman said. "That's what happened, we worked as a team and got it in."
Final: @SFGSoccer 2, Downingtown West 1, 1-AAAA girls soccer playback pic.twitter.com/AvqWhO7gg9
— Austin Hertzog (@AustinHertzog) November 3, 2016
No. 5 seed Spring-Ford, which has made states three years in a row and twice made it through playbacks (2013, 2014), will try to make it four straight on Saturday when it hosts Downingtown East.
No. 9 Downingtown West took an early lead through Gina Peraino's pretty free kick from long range but couldn't pull off the comeback in the second half and concluded its season at 14-5-2. The Whippets fell to top seed Neshaminy, 1-0, in the quarterfinals.
Spring-Ford got itself realigned from last Saturday's 2-0 quarterfinal defeat to No. 4 Conestoga.
"At practice we really had to focus more," Christman said. "Coach (Tim Leyland) always says you play how you practice and when we practice hard we come out and we play together and play well. It's as simple as that."
Gabby Kane assisted on Franz's goal.
Spring-Ford goalkeeper Amanda Byrd made four saves while Downingtown West counterpart Morgan O'Loughlin stopped three shots.
