El Sabio |
by Deborah Beard
on January 24, 2011
El Sabio Tapas Bar is at a huge advantage in Winchester being one of very few restaurants that are not an Italian. This alone makes it stand out against the competition and is an obvious choice in the city for an alternative meal out.
I have visited El Sabio on a number of occasions and always as part of a large group, Tapas are ideal for sharing as everyone else's dish always seems to look so much more exciting than your own and the restaurant itself reflects the social side of tapas. It's full of chatter, has a relaxed atmosphere and, to my husband's delight, they are more than happy for you to take home your leftovers. It's laid-back atmosphere and food-sharing culture lends itself ideally to families, couples and large groups – even those without adventurous taste buds would be able to find something to love about the food. On this occasion I was unable to indulge in my favourite jug of Sangria due to being pregnant, so I indulged in the food a little too much instead. Indigestion aside, the Paella de Carne (a small paella with chicken and chorizo sausage) was wonderfully cooked, the chicken was succulent and the chorizo really livened up the dish which otherwise would have been bland. The colourful rice was mixed with peas and the dish was much larger than I was expecting. Having previously tried the Tortilla Espanola, a thick wedge of Spanish omelette stuffed with potatoes and onion, I was keen to have it again and I wasn't disappointed. The subtle flavour of the egg was complemented perfectly by the onion which lifted the taste, while the potato gave it the texture of a dish that you could quite happily have eaten on its own without any accompaniments. My last choice of dish was the Patatas Bravas o con Alioli, deep fried potatoes in a spicy tomato sauce. They made an excellent addition to the paella, although by the time I'd worked my way through the other dishes I found the sauce took a little bit away from the flavours of the others. Having always gone as part of a large group, it's always been a challenge for the serving staff and kitchen staff dealing with our orders, but the service has never been poor even when there have been other large groups in the restaurant at the same time. The only thing that really lets El Sabio down is its location. Situated right at the bottom of the city centre on the one way system, it is not a "stumble across" restaurant which is a shame. It is so refreshing to have a restaurant in Winchester that strays off the beaten Italian track that I can't help but feel it's missing out on a lot of casual, passing trade simply because of where it is. That said, El Sabio is a real find and somewhere that should be on everyone's list of restaurants to try in Winchester. by Louise Taylor

The riverside tapas bar and restaurant, El Sabio, was the first restaurant my newborn daughter visited. Scrunched up in her sling she slept through the visit while her parents enjoyed a generous selection of the always excellent Spanish tapas dishes that are this restaurant's speciality.
Open for lunch Tuesday to Sunday and for dinner every day, this is somewhere that we return to again and again, usually for weekday lunches when the place tends to be very quiet. The two or three shallow steps up to the door pose no problem for prams or pushchairs and, once inside, away from the busy main road, there is space enough to manoeuvre even the biggest pram with ease. (And a pram or pushchair may well be necessary for diners with small children as, for car-parking, the restaurant relies on the Council pay-and-display car parks on Friarsgate and Middle Book Street.) Weather permitting, there is also a lovely outdoor terrace right over the river. The staff are friendly and welcoming – and, without asking, have always turned down background music that threatened to wake our sleeping baby. Service is quick and the largely locally-sourced food is moreish. I never fail to include the Gitano Hotpot – a meltingly tender amalgamation of chickpeas, whole almonds, lentils and butternut squash – and a robustly saffron-scented vegetable paella in my tapas selection while my husband is rather partial to the Gourmet Burger that is included on the menu as a sort of sideshow to the main event that are the tapas. So far, we have never had sufficient appetite left to try the tapas (i.e. 3-for-1) desserts. That is an omission that I plan to remedy by taking our two-and-a-half year old pudding-favouring son there for lunch one day soon. Although there is a good selection of wine, we normally opt for freshly squeezed orange juice. That said, I can vouch that one or two of their rose wines definitely merit further extended tasting – maybe at one of the restaurant's Salsa evenings. No doubt that would push up the bill a little but, given that three tapas dishes cost just £7.99, perhaps it is an expense that can be justified once in a while. At 6 months old my daughter now rarely sleeps through her visits to El Sabio, preferring instead to flirt with the staff and eye up the food. We are looking forward to moving her from her sling or pushchair and into one of the restaurant's highchairs in order to introduce her to some of its dishes and are crossing our fingers that her brother's rather conservative taste buds can be tempted by some of the flavours of Spain in this riverside Winchester restaurant.

Joe Kubert passes at age 85
Comic legend Joe Kubert has passed away at age 85.
Tom Spurgeon, as usual, has the obit of record.
Like many cartoonists born in the 1920s, Kubert was a precocious drawer. He first drew around the home and in the neighborhood, encouraged by his family and neighbors. "I was really blessed and fortunate that I could pursue that which I loved to do," Kubert told interviewer Gary Groth in 1994. "I recall that when I was a kid of three or four, I used to be given boxes of chalk by the neighborhood people — penny boxes of chalk, so I could draw in the gutters. They enjoyed seeing me draw." Despite his parents sharing in a popular conception of the time not to let children pursue an activity for which there might not be future gainful employment, Kubert describes himself as lucky that his parents never deterred him in his artistic pursuits.

Sorry to hear this. When I was a kid, I was a big fan of Sgt. Rock. I did a lot of drawings of his characters' faces back then. They fascinated me. It's great that he went on to teach so many cartoonists. |

A great comic book artist, one of the best. His work had a unique look: dynamic, organic and instantly recognizable. He has an incredible body of work behind him. |

One of my boyhood heroes. His work on Sgt. Rock left an indelible mark on me and pretty much set the mold for war comics. I got to meet him at the Jersey City Reubens last year (or the year before?)and I was transformed instantly into a fanboy. I hope people standing around didn't notice. A real gentleman. Can't say enough. |

I have several great memories of this master cartoonist and wonderful man, but the weekend twenty years ago I spent with him (his son, Adam, and Hy Eisman, too) participating in a cartooning workshop in Nashville takes the prize. During the final review phase of our assignment, in the last hour or so, Joe sat down to critique my work…and then proceeded to ink over my penciled drawing of a monster! I have enjoyed the company of this comics icon many times since then, and watched as he was gracious to each and every fan who approached him. What a class act. His passing diminishes my world. |

I still treasure Joe Kubert's 3-D "TOR" comic book I bought back in the 50′s. I think he was a mentor for many cartoonists. RIP |

Sick updates kbayne !
Very detailed log so far. You are running supps that I have in my cabinet, so this is right up my alley. Keep up the great work !
I started a new log at:
10 eggs + greens + 3/4 cup of the mixed nuts + 1 liter water
I started a new log at:
As soon as Enhanced gets here I am going to add it to my Versa-1 that I am currently using. Once March kicks off I'll be doing Enhanced + V-1 + ABE and maybe EP.

USPlabs | Ultra-Premium Sports Supplements
Ya I haven't made many purchases lately..been demolishing the stacks I have and finally getting towards the end (other than a bunch of Protocol and my PES stash..). Probably will use some ArA...been forever since I used it last.
PES Representative
Don't miss out on the next deal:
You guys.. just send me your ArA and ill take real good care of them. You will receive them back but will they be full? No one knows .
On the real though I'm stocked to try ArA as I have not yet
February 20, 2013
Morning Supplements Pre-Cardio:
- 1.5 scoop Alphamine
- 6 grams BCAA
Morning Cardio:
- 20 minutes of HIIT on the bike at 30 seconds (95%) with a 45 seconds (30%) rest.
- Went upstairs to the indoor track and did some sprints. Sprinted the straight away and jogged the corners.
- Cardiovascular endurance is still increasing but not where it needs to be. Running is still very vigorous for me which basically says if someone tried to talk to me I could probably say 2 words then would have to take a breath before my next words haha.
Supplements AM:
- 10 grams BCAA
- 500mg Agamtine
- 500mg Vit C
- 1 gram Fish Oil
- 2.5 grams Creatine
Supplements Pre-Workout:
- 1 scoop Jacked Micro
- 1 cap V-1
- 1 cap EP
- 500mg Agamtine
- 1.6 grams BA
Weight Session:
- Hit chest hard. Started with some heavy incline DB bench presses.
- My rest periods are still very short but I can tell my recovery is starting to kick in quicker then usual. When I go heavy on any exercise I like to wait about a 1 minute to 1.5 minutes but recovery was awesome today so even with the heavy incline DB presses, rest periods were at about 30-45 seconds.
- Strength seems to be increasing bit by bit. Even with how low my CHO are for the 3 days, strength has not decreased at all. Most of the time when CHO drop people tend to lose strength. So since there has been no decrease in strength I am very happy
- Weight session time frame are also starting to shrink. With the recovery time and short rest periods it almost feels like I am getting in the gym, doing work and getting out. Don't get me wrong though, still have a great session every time.
- For cardio today I went upstairs and played 3 games of high intensity basketball. I for sure got what I needed cardio wise out of basketball. I am the type of player that runs the court and hardly ever slows down. So if I can keep this up my cardiovascular endurance should start to increase even more.
- Played basketball again at 8pm. I play intramural sport and we are in the playoffs for basketball. Played another good 50 minutes being intense also. The game was close at halftime but after that, game over . Was strokin and not missing many shots at all. We pushed the ball the whole game because we were a lot smaller then them so we had to take advantage.
Supplements Post-Workout:
- 1.5 scoops Alphamine
- 6 grams BCAA
- 2.5 grams Creatine
- 1.6 grams BA
Supplement Notes:
- DOMS were pretty bad after my chest workout. I went out to eat with the lady friend post workout and I kept putting my arm on the table and my chest would not let me do this haha. This is for sure the V-1 starting to kick in more and more. V-1 is also helping with some recovery in between sets I do believe. Also I am becoming more hungry throughout the day but I got it under control .
- Still not noticing any joint problems or anything like that from Erase Pro so that is always a plus. EP isn't going to get me as dry as I want until I am to a bodyfat percentage that I want/need to be but it still is doing exactly what it should be doing. EP also has not affected my libido at all. I know some report this when taking EP but not for me . Alphamine could be helping with that also.
- Looked very solid and hard yesterday. Muscles are popping more and more as days go by. Started to notice some veins creeping around the shoulder/chest area yesterday also
- Finally have a weight for you guys. Scaled said ~208. I am happy with that considering I can tell just by looking in the mirror and how I feel on the inside. Really believe that the weight is just starting to come off at a quicker rate as the V-1 is starting to kick in along with the Alphamine + Erase combo.
Calorie Intake:
- Calories for the day was roughly ~ 3200. As I said I went out to eat for post workout so I needed a pretty big meal but still kept it clean.
Other Notes:
- Not much else to comment on here. As I type this I am about to go hit the gym for some Shoulders though .
Workout Link:
Kbayne doing it P/RR/S Style
Love ball. Used to play 3-4 hours of pick up games a day when I was in college. Definitely great cardio exercise if want it to be. I am usually not good enough to play with top level guys, but I ran like crazy, just like you kbayne. They always pick you because they know you will run the court and play defense. Ahhh, brings back memories....

Centenary College Students Aren't Seeking Sun During Spring Break at Jersey Shore
Piles of debris are all that are left of many homes on oceanfront blocks of Toms River N.J. A group of Centenary College students are spending their spring break lending a hand at the Jersey Shore.
Ten students will spend the week at the Boys and Girls Club of Newark, where they will volunteer with Superstorm Sandy relief efforts or take part in a mentoring program at the club as part of an alternative spring break organized by the United Way of New Jersey.
"I live down the shore so that affected me personally," said Centenary student Lyndsay Tricarico, of Toms River. "Being able to do something that hits home for me is really cool."
Students not taking part in the Boys and Girls Club mentoring program will head to Sandy-affected areas each morning by 7 a.m., working anywhere from Long Island to Ocean County, according to Tiffany Kushner, Centenary's director of co-curricular transitions, who's in charge of this year's alternative spring break program.
"It will be in priority with those that will need the most help," she said.
Students will work until 4:30 p.m. and assist with mold remediation, tearing down heavily-damaged properties to make room for rebuilding and other cleanup-related tasks. While the week may not sound like a glamorous way to spend a vacation, what matters to the students is helping out an area that is close to their hearts.
Currently in her junior year, Tricarico said students on campus have been buzzing about spring break plans at a variety of tropical destinations, but said she did some serious reflection in planning on how she was going to spend her week with no classes.
"A group of my friends from back home are all going to Miami and I was invited, but I could spend hundreds of dollars or spend a little bit of money and do something purposeful," Tricarico said.
Kushner said students provided their own deposits to hold their place in the spring break program and Centenary College helped with the remaining costs. Next year, students will have more time for fundraising efforts to help cover expenses as Kushner plans for these types of projects to be an annual offering.
Lauren Lamotta, a graduate student at Centenary, said her previous spring breaks were typically spent traveling to lacrosse tournaments in warm-weather areas of the country.
Lamotta said she couldn't help when Superstorm Sandy first hit because she had to go back to school, so she's looking forward to being able to help now. When she heard of the alternative spring break program, she dropped her original plans to possibly travel with friends.
"Originally I was going to go down to Myrtle Beach with everyone else that was going down," she said. "I'd rather volunteer to do this."
Students do not receive college credits for the trip, but may apply the work to their 10-hour minimum community service requirement for graduation, one that Kushner said many students have already met.
But Tricarico understands that the trip is not about credits or requirements.
"I think it's important because it shows that we're not just these college kids that come to college and party and just do the minimal," she said. "We all like to give back to the community just out of the goodness of our heart."

What Does the Redskins Rule Predict for 2012 Presidential Election?
The Washington Redskins have been correctly predicting the outcome of the United States presidential election since 1940.
In a nutshell, the "Redskins Rule" states that if Washington wins the week before the election, the incumbent party wins as well. If the Redskins lose, the non-incumbent wins the election and takes over office.
After months on a campaign trail and millions upon millions of dollars spent on advertisements, it's hard to believe a football Sunday can predict the outcome of the presidential election—but the evidence is overwhelming.
The Washington Post has compiled a list of the rule dating as far back as 1940:
- 1940 – Redskins 37, Steelers 10 – Roosevelt (D) defeats Willkie.
- 1944 – Redskins 14, Rams 10 – Roosevelt defeats Dewey.
- 1948 – Redskins 59, Boston Yanks 21 – Truman (D) defeats Dewey.
- 1952 – Steelers 24, Redskins 23 – Eisenhower (R) defeats Stevenson.
- 1956 – Redskins 20, Browns 9 – Eisenhower defeats Stevenson.
- 1960 – Browns 31, Redskins 10 – Kennedy (D) defeats Nixon.
- 1964 – Redskins 27, Bears 20 – Johnson (D) defeats Goldwater.
- 1968 – Giants 13, Redskins 10 – Nixon (R) defeats Humphrey.
- 1972 – Redskins 24, Cowboys 20 – Nixon defeats McGovern.
- 1976 – Cowboys 20, Redskins 7 – Carter (D) defeats Ford.
- 1980 – Vikings 39, Redskins 14 – Reagan (R) defeats Carter.
- 1984 – Redskins 27, Falcons 14 – Reagan defeats Mondale.
- 1988 – Redskins 27, Saints 24 – Bush defeats Dukakis.
- 1992 – Giants 24, Redskins 7 – Clinton (D) defeats Bush.
- 1996 – Redskins 31, Colts 16 – Clinton defeats Dole.
- 2000 – Titans 27, Redskins 21 – Bush (R) defeats Gore.
- 2004 – Packers 28, Redskins 13 – Bush defeats Kerry, ending the streak.
- 2008 – Steelers 23, Redskins 6 – Obama (D) defeats McCain, restoring the Redskins Rule.
- 2012 – Redskins vs. Panthers – Obama vs. Romney – TBD
The only exception to this rule was in 2004 when the Redskins were defeated by the Green Bay Packers, but George W. Bush still managed to win the election.
On Sunday the Redskins took on the Carolina Panthers in Washington in a game that many thought would decide the 2012 presidential election.
Washington would fall short against the Panthers, as Carolina quarterback Cam Newton threw for 201 yards and a touchdown, running his quarterback rating to a pristine 100.1. He also added a rushing touchdown in the winning effort.
Thing weren't so pretty for Washington, as rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III threw for only 215 yards and was sacked four times by an aggressive Panthers defensive front.
In what ended up being a defensive battle, the real star of the game was Carolina rookie linebacker Luke Kuechly, who, combined with Cam Newton, may have decided the 2012 election. Kuechly, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, notched 15 total tackles and was all over the field in the victory.
Do you think the "Redskins Rule" is correct in 2012?
More importantly, a Washington loss has major implications on the United States if the rule is to be believed.
With incumbent Barack Obama battling Mitt Romney for office, both were likely tuned in, if for the entertainment from Washington's team more than anything else.
The Washington loss to Carolina means bad news for Obama supporters, as a loss means the non-incumbent wins the election the following week—with only one exception in the past 72 years.
If the "Redskins Rule" is to be believed, Mitt Romney will defeat Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.

Madeline Rogero, Mayor
Crime Database Entries Earns Employee Special Recognition
View Officer Award Winners
View Civilian Award Winners
February 1, 2012
- Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Police Chief David Rausch named NCIC Operator Dallas Dalton the Civilian Employee of the Month due to the quality of his criminal database entries. Mr. Dalton has been with KPD since August 2009.
Chief Rausch said that Mr. Dalton is responsible for entering records on sex offenders and gang related information into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. While attending FBI training for area NCIC operators, Mr. Dalton was praised for the quality of the submitted gang reports. These reports provide officers valuable intelligence when dealing with gang members or suspected gang members and their associates. The gang file is an invaluable officer safety tool.
Chief Rausch said, "The FBI was so impressed with the quality of the gang file entries that they are using Mr. Dalton's work as training examples throughout the nation. With the completeness of the files our officers are better prepared to deal with what could become a violent encounter."

Good Libations Brewing Company™ is a brewery that keeps people first.
Good Libations Brewing Company is a dream being realized by two great friends. When we started down this road we had no idea what this really entailed. We just knew we made great beer and wanted to share it. We want to share our growing experience with all of you and get you some cool gear and experiences as a keepsake. This project is an invitation to be part of our journey. The more people the merrier. We invite you to know what it's about to be a part of Good Libations Brewing Company. Join us in our pursuit of Good People, Good Times, and Good Beer™!
The Dream:
Thirteen years ago we decided we needed to open a business together. Time passed (as it tends to do) as we discussed which venture we wanted to embark on. The brewery came up in every conversation we ever had. Roughly four years ago we decided we were going to open the brewery and have been on this path ever since. We've been developing long standing recipes and preparing ourselves to leave behind lucrative careers in Corporate America to open Good Libations Brewing Company and share our passion for life and beer with everyone we meet. Our motto Good People, Good Times, Good beer™ is more than a tag line. We believe that our world works because of the people we meet and the good times we share. Brewing beer is our passion. We are creating our niche in the world and welcome everyone to join us.
How the money will be spent:
The money we receive from KickStarter will go towards our start up fees and additional tank space so we can brew more beer sooner. Anything we receive beyond what we need will go toward even more tanks and hops, grain, and yeast so we can brew yet more beer for your enjoyment.
What you get:
You get to be a part of Good Libations Brewing Company. You will receive a personalized thank you e-mail (let us know if you want a special shout out or something personal to you included). All of the rewards will include the phrase "OG Contributor" somewhere so you can show off to all your friends and let them know how cool you are. Plus the original gravity pun is gangster, so you'll have that going for you too. The OG Contributor designation will only be used for this KickStarter project.
What's to come:
Once this project is complete we will be launching another KickStarter event to fund a canning line. Once the brewery opens we will include pictures and a video of the brewery in action. We will keep you posted on our progress as the KickStarter projects continue.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Microsoft To Begin Rolling Out New Xbox 360 Dashboard Today
Posted on July 9, 2013 AT 11:39am
If you signed up last week for the beta test of the new Xbox 360 dashboard, then good news: you don't have long to wait to check out the changes.
Today, Xbox Live's Larry Hryb announced on Twitter that the new user interface for Microsoft's console would start getting distributed to those who had joined the beta. He also noted that if you didn't join the dashboard beta test program—or, heck, know it even existed—then sadly it's too late.
For those of you who did join up, and are now wondering what you'll be getting? Well, we know at least some of what's coming. The update will "improve overall performance" of the console's interface, and those crazy Microsoft Points that we've been spending for so long will be "retired later this year."
Of course, the fun of previous Xbox 360 dashboard betas has been seeing what new visual and interface changes would be coming. While nothing exact has been said about what we might be receiving in that regard in this beta, one has to wonder if the Xbox 360′s user interface will be tweaked to more closely resemble how the Xbox One's dashboard looks and feels.
Anyhow, if you signed up for the Xbox 360 dashboard beta, then it'll be coming your way soon! If you missed getting it, it sounds like they might be opening it up to more participants at a future date.

FAIRMONT HOT SPRINGS, BC – It's amazing what possibilities come your way when you simply open yourself up to friendship, that may have sounded a little cheesy, but it's absolutely true. Remaining closed off to strangers--safely nestled in a cocoon of reliable sameness, never taking a chance, never branching out--is just so boring. When the SnowSeekers team visited British Columbia's Fairmont Hot Springs Resort some two weeks ago, we opened ourselves to something different ... something very different ... and we were rewarded.
Just outside the Fairmont's Bear's Paw Lounge was a staircase that led to a casual seating area where a decades-old kayak served as a backdrop. We decided to set up shop there rather than inside the lounge, thereby scoring an out-of-the-way table that was still positioned along the pathway of any hotel guest going to or from his/her room.
Fairmont's Hot Springs Resort played host to the Gyros from March 12-14. The dinner, shown above, capped off a fantastic weekend. RICK MACDONNELL/SnowSeekers |
Aside from the dozens of "Hi, how are you?'s that came our way as guests ambled by, there were at least a half dozen times where a guest stopped for a prolonged chat. One of these guests was Gerry Glassford, of Edmonton. Glassford, as it turned out, was a member of the Gyro Club, a group of about 150 people who were using the Fairmont Resort as a base camp for the weekend.
At the time, we were only so familiar with them as to call them "the noise" we were hearing at all hours of the day, regardless of where we were in the Resort. These folks knew how to have a good time. And before we knew it, we were being invited to one of these "good times" the following evening. The next night we headed downstairs to where the event was being held, a dinner and cocktail party in the bowels of the Fairmont Hot Springs.
For our SnowSeekers team--a group of young 20-somethings dressed in jeans and barely buttoned shirts--it was like walking into Oz, only instead of munchkins, these strangers were immaculately dressed seniors. We had no clue what to expect, but, as I said, we opened ourselves to the experience. We seated ourselves with Glassford and his beautiful wife, Alice, and proceeded to have one of our most memorable nights of the season.
This group of Gyros encompassed only one district of a larger whole. Gyro is divided into eleven districts that stretch from Prince George, B.C. to Palm Beach, Florida; from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Long Beach, California. It's a truly international group with over 4,000 members.
What it is, though, is a friendship club, "Affording men of character the opportunity to nurture friendships and exchange ideas in an open environment," explained Glassford. "It's fun for fun's sake, and friendship for friendship's sake." The group that had assembled at the Fairmont--District VIII--consisted of sixteen different clubs located in Southern and Eastern B.C, in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Eastern Washington, and Northern Idaho. Glassford's own club, in Edmonton, is the district's oldest, having formed in 1921. Twice a year the district gathers together--once in the winter and once in the summer--to guide the affairs of the fraternity and reaffirm the philosophies it stands by:
Gerry and Alice Glassford, of Edmonton, enjoyed a wonderful meal with the SnowSeekers crew. RICK MACDONNELL/SnowSeekers |
Power: which symbolizes the power of friendship.
Poise: which demonstrates the steadiness of friendship in times of trial.
Purpose: which keeps the balance wheel of friendship in men's lives.
The name Gyro, as explained by Glassford, was taken because "The gyroscope symbolizes the ability to maintain a desired course and attitude regardless of outside influences." In this spirit, the Gyro gatherings are a venue for a free exchange of ideas, where every member has a right to his opinion and have that opinion heard and respected. It's a beautiful, worthwhile venture. Being in the company of these people, who were so happy and vivacious (not to mention hilarious), for just one night was enough to lighten all of our spirits.
Having just come off the whirlwind that was the Olympic Games, our team needed to re-center ourselves, which is just what we did with the Gyros. The degree to which were were accepted was amazing. You'd think I'd been a Gyro for ten years by the way I was treated. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and, not to brag, but I received not one dessert, but three. I'm a growing boy, I guess.
Friendship is something that most of us take for granted. We forget that these relationships need to be nurtured and cultivated, lest they wither away into something less than what they once were.
The Gyros' commitment to friendship, and nurturing these friendships, was an eye-opener for me. With a little work, and a lot of fun, friendships can last a lifetime. The whole SnowSeekers team would like to take this opportunity to thank the Gyros for taking such good care of us that night, and for reaching out to such a rag-tag group off oddballs eating dinner in a hallway by a kayak. It was one of the highlights of our trip, of our year, even, and something we'll remember for a long time.
To friendship.

There is real hope here - one only need look at the Olympics to see an example of how collaboration can really engineer success. Just one year on from the riots, the energy and optimism from London 2012 can be harnessed to bring people together to make real change. There is a general mood of positivity in the air, which can be turned into something tangible.
The world's attention is on London at the moment, as it was a year ago but for very different reasons. But how much has really changed since the riots that disfigured my town and other parts of the capital last August?
This weekend I watched Usain Bolt run the 100m as a VIP guest in the Olympic stadium; this time last year I was watching my home town burn in the summer riots. Had I made different choices I could have been watching the race from prison.
Exactly a year ago, hundreds of kids misbehaved really badly, so why has nobody asked the question? Have we - society, government, family - done something wrong? Why the loud silence? Oh, sorry, I forgot - they are they just nasty little rioters, and should go to prison. There is nothing else to ask. Where is the reflection, the understanding, the questions? Those arrested during the riots mainly came from deprived areas and had the poorest educational backgrounds. They set fire to their own communities, and looted consumerist goods − plasma TVs, "branded" fashionable electronics and expensive shoes. Why did they do what they did?
As we celebrate the shining achievements of so many British athletes in London 2012, the disorders of last August seem a nightmarish memory. How is it possible that two such different Augusts, two such opposing images of modern Britain, could be separated by only twelve months?
A year on from the riots which gripped parts of London and other cities up and down the UK, it is worth recalling that they were a predictable outcome to the economic and social pressure the communities impacted were under from a Tory-led coalition government, which had begun to dole out its punishment to the poor in response to an economic recession not of their making.
The riots showed us at a real low. The Olympics have been a national high. We have seen the best and worst reflections of ourselves over the past year - and so has the world.
I believe that the riots were, in part at least, a consequence of keeping people in a permanently dissatisfied state and persuading them that their lives will be improved by owning something they haven't got, can't afford and almost certainly don't need.
Do we really want to develop an education system based on well-meaning but ultimately skewed nostalgia?
Everybody concerned needs to grow a backbone. From the police and the politicians, to the young people, families and communities that they, not to mention the academics and commentators more interested in confirming their own prejudices, are so busy patronising. In fact we should all be getting to grips with what were extraordinary, disturbing and quite unprecedented events but may well come back to haunt us if we don't.
When we think back on London in the year 2012, where will we cast our minds?
I heard on the radio yesterday a young policeman describing some rioters who had attached Stanley knives to sticks to use as weapons. This is gutting and the new statistics are stomach-churning. One of the things that I remember most from those evenings last year is the fear. That crippling feeling of the unknown. How close to our homes were they going to get? Why?
This week the Authority will be launching our 'Have your say' roadshows.
Ever since the riots blazed across UK streets and TV sets worldwide last year, debate has raged on the catalyst that sparked an estimated 15,000 individuals to become one angry mob. Around 70% of the London 2011 rioters were under the age of 24 so identifying a root cause could well help stop these scenes happening again.
Predictably, the prime minster is taking flak over his decision to run parenting classes for people. As expected, some are calling the initiative an example of the Nanny State. In due course, editors will pull out examples of poor parenting by members of his government or those who advise him. We all know what's coming, don't we?
As commentary (about the riots) developed it became clear that the reporting was either black or white. Right wing commentators were quick to label all rioters as individual criminals, while more liberal factions tried to convince that there was a direct cause and effect relationship between recent youth centre closures and civil disorder. The idea started to emerge that a more un-mediated version of events would help form a fuller picture of what happened last August. Together with Minnow Productions and BBC 3, we combed the internet for more footage.

Chronic Emptiness: Emotional Malady or Spiritual Remedy?
I would say that the emptiness of depression is the sense that life is empty of possibility. things are frozen, including the mind state that nothing can/will ever change. you are sad and you can't really remember not being sad or believe that you ever will not be sad.
Buddhist emptiness I see as fullness -- you're not locked into any one possibility. everything changes, for good or bad. and whatever comes, you can ride that wave, not be swept away.
some people need medication to get up to a level where they can get any benefit from meditation and not just dig themselves into a deeper hole.
thank you for your kind and interested tone, lawrence, and for not prescribing a particular antidote.
I think the emptiness talked about in the depressed person is a 'perceived' emptiness. They perceive that their life is empty of meaning. So really, that is just another heavy mental construct that they carry. The Buddhist emptiness reminds me of one that has no baggage....isn't weighed down by a heavy self and thus is truly liberated.
I agree with you and indicated that here:
<<It's fitting that a word like "emptiness" is devoid of any one inherent meaning. Of course the emptiness being described in the DSM IV is the "I feel like nothing matters...life has no meaning...I don't want to do anything...everything is too hard..." sort of emptiness. Then there's the Buddhist version of emptiness, which isn't quite as easy and straightforward to define.>>

nosebacon replied to your post: Is Borderline Personality Disorder considered to be a legitimate mental illness?
actually, yes it is. According to psychiatrists, pschologists, and the terms that one must meet to apply for and receive social security disability in the US, BPD is considered a legitimate illness.

"Lush location with incredible views"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
I traveled as a single (mostly couples and a few families) (there were only 4 singles the week I was there) and the staff was so accommodating and took extra care that I had a great vacation. And I did.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
Our stay at CBV was a good one. We rented a car which came in handy to drive around the island to visit different beaches etc. Our villa was spacious and clean. My wife and I had the fortunate luck of occupying the entire villa by ourselves. The front desk was fairly quick to respond to our requests (circuit breaker broke, couple other minor things). The amenities are great. Everything on the compound, pool, beach and front desk, is all within walking distance. The location of the hotel itself is a bit hidden, but locals are more than willing to help with directions. We found locals to be very friendly. Overall, CBV is 4.5 out of 5 stars.
"Fabulous food at Hotel Chocolat!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 20, 2013
We had an amazing stay at Hotel Chocolat! We loved our beautiful room with a view of the Pitons every morning! The food was incredible and the chef infuses chocolate in many of the recipes. We only worried that we would not be there long enough to try all of the entrees. The staff was so friendly and we really enjoyed touring the chocolate plantation and making our own chocolate!

"Amazing views...but"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 4, 2013
Loved the place in terms of views and uniqueness of the resort. However, with just a few tweaks they could make this a 5 star experience. Staff were apathetic and not much help to those of us coming from outside the country. Little things like places to go, place to avoid, costs of things EC vs US $, typical tipping for services...would be helpful. Manager reception was a joke. Free rum punch and a plate of chips to pass around. Also, the BBQ on Thursday night the food was awful. They have their hands in all the tours and setting up of services to get their "commission". Not really a conceige service.

Kamala Dreams Phuket
Kamala Dreams Phuket Address
74/1 Moo 3 Tambon Kamala Katu District, Phuket, Thailand 83120
Star Rating :
Guest Reviews : 0 Reviews
Kamala Dreams perfectly positioned between the bustle of high street seafood restaurants, shopping, nighttime entertainment, and your own secluded beach. The Kamala valley bounded on three sides by lush green covered hills of tropical rainforest is just 6km north of the well recognised nightlife hotspot of Patong. Sample if you will, or dare, alternatively settle for the more leisurely paced nightlife of Kamala - perfect after a hard day on the beach.

I had a wonderful conversation today with a graduate student who is studying Educational Anthropology. (What a fabulous description of a field of study that is so needed today.) Rebecca was living in the Northwest while her husband was stationed at McChord Air Force Base in 2005-2006. For about 9 months she was the best possible intern/volunteer/assistant/"do anything that needs to be done" person I've ever met. She helped me put on a Youth Summit "Beyond Islam: Understanding the Muslim World," a United States Institute of Peace grant that I had when I was working at the World Affairs Council. She also helped organize the Early Language Symposium at the UW and the Heritage Language Workshop with Dr. Shuhan Wang in January, 2006, that was part of the International Education Coalition's launch of its "Expanding Chinese Language Capacity" initiative.
In the past five years, Rebecca has been studying Arabic and traveling to the Middle East regularly. She is now preparing for her dissertation field work in Jordan where she plans to develop case studies in comparative and international education.
You may be wondering what Jordan has to teach "us" in the U.S. Quite a lot. In fact, it turns out that we in the U.S. know almost nothing about educational systems in a number of nations. That's something that Rebecca would like to change. I'm glad to introduce you to her here and look forward to her posts!

I'm webmaster for Hasson & Wong Hair Transplant Clinic.
A patient of ours has informed us that a company, Herbal-H, selling an herbal hair growth product
via PayPal is engaging in fraud.
The company, http://www.herbal-h.com/ , sells a product called Herbal-H, a hair regrowth spray.
This company is using a Hasson & Wong hair transplant patient's before and after hair transplant photo on their
website, the product packaging, and on the spray bottle itself.
The photo of the product can be seen on the http://www.herbal-h.com/ website. The direct url to the image is:
The inset before and packaging is a patient of Hasson & Wong Hair Transplant Clinic
and the photos have been directly taken from the hassonandwong.com website. The patient's photo
can be seen on the hassonandwong.com website gallery, located here:
Not only is this seller using Hasson & Wong patient photos without permission, but is using them to promote a a dubious product. By having the before
and after photo on the product packaging, the seller is implying that the hair growth is a result of using Herbal-H, when
in fact the results are because of hair transplant surgery with Hasson & Wong Hair Transplant Clinic.

You know your Mitsubishi Eclipse is one of the most popular sports cars in America. You know that its sleek body and high-performing engine is enough to intimidate any speedster on the road. Although all these facts should be enough to convince you that the Eclipse is fast and powerful, you can't shake of the feeling that something's still missing. And maybe there is. So to ease your mind, install a cold air intake upgrade on your Mitsubishi Eclipse to further boost its power. From stronger horsepower to quicker throttle response, a cold air intake gives your speed racer the modification it needs to upgrade its internal system. This custom mod is designed to break down the limitations of your engine by promoting more effective airflow and absorbing cooler air. So if you want to unleash your Mitsubishi Eclipse's hidden power, do it with a good-quality cold air intake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ask APW-
Answer: The advantages of upgrading an Eclipse's stock air filter with a cold air intake include both improved aesthetic and performance. Although it varies from one vehicle to another, a car that is installed with a cold air intake can increase its engine's performance by about 5 to 10 horsepower. The cooler air that is brought in by the system allows the Eclipse's engine to breathe easier. And without the suffocating hot air stored in the compartment, the engine is able to work better, faster, and more efficiently. That is why aside from the instant power gain, fuel efficiency is another advantageous effect of having a cold air intake. Less power is needed to make a less stressed engine work—with the lesser power needed, lesser fuel is consumed. A cold air intake under the hood of a Mitsubishi Eclipse can also lead to a more visually pleasant assembly of parts. Whether a subdued style or a more aggressive look is preferred, a cold air intake's chrome or sleek black plastic finish will complement the engine compartment and turn it from just another engine block to a more specialized look under the hood.
What can be expected from installing a cold air intake in a Mitsubishi Eclipse?
Answer: When it comes to power output, it doesn't really matter. Whether the intake tube is plastic or metal, both kinds will yield the same smooth air flow. The choice of getting a plastic intake tube or a metal one would not depend on which of the two will offer optimum performance in an Eclipse, but is more a matter of what would look best with the engine. If the owner of the Eclipse decided on a more standard looking intake tube that will complement the rest of the compartment, then a plastic cold air intake would be a good choice. On the other hand, if the owner decides to amp up style and go for a more dressed up engine bay, then he should consider installing a metal intake tube over a plastic one.
Which kind of intake tube would work best on a Mitsubishi Eclipse: a plastic or a metal intake tube?
Answer: There are two types of add-on performance accessories that can help improve the utility of a newly installed cold air intake. The first accessory is the throttle body spacer. This accessory acts like an air catcher between the intake tube and the throttle body. It catches the air, spins it, and directs the flow from the intake tube on to the body. This whirling flow of air allows the incoming breeze to mix better with the fuel, which can then accentuate the ability of a cold air intake to increase horsepower. Another performance accessory is the mass air flow sensor. From the name itself, this part is a significant upgrade from the stock sensor installed in an Eclipse. It gives a more balanced reading of the vehicle's engine air and fuel ratio, helping the engine itself to react better for combustion. These two performance upgrades can heighten the effect of a cold air intake in a vehicle, especially in the Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Are there other accessories that can be added to a cold air intake to maximize its performance when installed in a Mistubishi Eclipse?

« Saudi King lays down the law to Obama on Egypt |
Blog Home Page
| Sen. Kyl reportedly won't seek re-election »
February 10, 2011 Sen. Grassley: Time For ATF To Come CleanThe death of Customs and Border Protection Agent Brian Terry should have been an accident quietly disposed of in the silence of the Arizona desert. Everything was easily explained away, a CBP patrol came across a nefarious band of characters in the desert, a firefight erupted that left Agent Terry fatally injured. It could have been easy. The only trouble with the cover story was that the weapons held by the suspects were supposedly being tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) often referred to simply as the ATF. How assault weapons sold with full knowledge of the ATF wound up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels has become the pertinent question in the scandal dubbed Gunwalker by David Codrea of Examiner.com a sardonic referral to the ATF's acknowledged project "Gunrunner." Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars have been working diligently to break the story and shepherd congressional whistleblower protection to outraged ATF agents. If one were to ask Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich how this was allowed to happen, he might respond as he did to Senator Grassley's inquiries:
Further, Weich makes an accusation typical of the Obama Administration, wherein accusing the accuser is routine.
Assistant Attorney General Weich issued the denial and warning on February 4th, 2011 and raised the stakes in a high-level game of chicken with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senator Grassley's response was quick and effective issuing this letter with attached corroboration of the charges. Senator Grassley's letter contains these facts:
The letter continues:
It seems clear from Senator Grassley's response that he is not impressed by Assistant Attorney General Weich's categorical denial or the warning to drop the investigation. In fact, the very last part of the letter is the most poignant as it includes a personal plea from Agent Terry's Stepmother, causing Senator Grassley to issue this plea:
What more can be said? T.L. Davis is the author of The Constitutionalist, the blog TL In Exile, and a frequent contributor to Western Rifle Shooters Association. [1] February 4th letter from the U.S Department of Justice, Office of Legislative Affairs from Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to Charles E. Grassley, Ranking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary.

THURROCK Community Safety Partnership is looking for people's opinions on crime and anti-social behaviour.
The partnership, made up of the council, police and health service, is holding an online consultation until October, for people to share their views and raise awareness of how and where to report incidents.
There are questions asking for people's opinions on hate crime, doorstep callers, neighbours and the environment.
It also asks how safe local residents feel at home and whether they see crime as a problem locally.
Cllr Angie Gaywood, Thurrock Council's portfolio holder for public protection, said: "Your views are important to us and will help shape strategies and priorities for reducing crime and ensuring residents feel safe.
"The survey doesn't ask for your name or address, just your postcode, so we can see where there are problems. The results will be kept anonymous."
The survey can be viewed by clicking on the consultations link at the council's website www.thurrock.gov.uk
