Smokey, our boy was an abandoned puppy in Delavan ten years ago when he was only six months old. Famished, ribs showing and left out in the cold with 4-5 feet snow drifts. When my husband would go huntin, like very first weekend of hunting season he(Smokey)jumped out from nowhere when my husbnd was bringing all his hunting gear down a path that led to the cabin,totally shocked him and he didnt know if he was a dog or a fox at the time but soon realized he was a pup. To try to make this as shor t as possible, the dog followed him to the cabin and kept looking in the big front picture window while my husband was unloading and getting a fire started to heat up the cabin. My husband wasnt sure but thought maybe he belonged to the people at the top of the hill where ther were other dogs they had so he tried to shoe him away. Well this went on for three hunting weekends and when my husband would wake up there he was, Smokey looking inthe window. Finally, the fourth weekend it was quite obvious by Smokeys appearance hungry and cold that he was abandoned. Don't know why he's beautiful and his tempermant is loving. We think because he was a runt of a shepard mix they just didnt care about him. The said thing is the poor little pup was freezing and starving smf it esd hunting season and he could of very easily been mistaken for a deer and had gotten shot or hit by those huge snow plows in Delavan. That year in November was alot of snow and at least 4-5 feet at the cabin. So he brought Smokey in the cabin a couple of times each weekend towarm up and give him something to eat. But by the fourth week like I said previoulsy my husband brought him in again fed him some chunky soup and then gave him a bone and put his face down right next to him to see if he would snap or be nasty( he did it to test his tempermant)for we have five grandchildren and needed to know how his personality ws.Well Smokey did nothing and let the bone go, no growling, biting or anything thats when my husband knew, thats it, this poor neglected, left to die was ccoming home with him. When my husband got home which was unusual because it was a day early and very very late on a Saturday night, midnight to be exact he asked me honey go look at the big deer I got in the truck, I said are you crazy I dont want to see no dead poor frozen deer(I hate hunting),well he kept on pleading with me to go see it so I hesitantly went and there looking out of the back slinding window of the truck was that little tiny pup. I was escstatic brought him in the house and he's been a blessing to our family now for ten wonderful years. Sorry this was so long but just had to tell you the whole story of Smokey. He has been a heaven sent!! Thank you for reading! Sincerely Koren
Home Forever,abandoned puppy!!

Jagger's Hair for Charity
British auction house Bonhams announced on their website that locks of Mick Jagger's hair, cut from his head during the early 1960's, has been put up for auction by Chrissie Shrimpton, who dated Jagger in the early '60's. What was she doing, whacking off his hair in his sleep? That's just plain scary.
The website says that the locks should fetch between $2,300 and $3,100 when it goes up to auction on July 3rd. The money raised will go to the charity Changing Faces.
The auction house goes on to mention that Lot 20711 was first collected by Shrimpton's grandmother without Chrissie's knowledge during a trip to the Shrimpton family's country estate. The auction house wrote on their website
"Apparently, on her grandmother's death, the hair passed to Chrissie's aunt and when she died, the hair was returned to Chrissie by a cousin taking care of personal effects."
Keith Richards raised $1,400 for a lock of his hair some years ago.

When I was asked to write a Singles Blog for the website of The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles I was flattered and excited. I was frustrated with my dating life at this stage of my life and thought it would be an interesting experiment that would take me out of my comfort zone and open new doors.
I have a tremendous respect for the paper, the people who work there and the Jewish community. I have stood by my decision to date only Jewish men and have always managed to put myself out there in an honest and open manner. My goal has been to share and at the same time keep the faith and not lose my way.
This week has been eye opening. I have been attacked as a woman, as a mother, as a Jew and as a writer. I've been called vulgar names, people have suggested that I will be travelling to hell as a result of my blog and that I am damaging my child.
Some days I write and think that no one will read it. I live a small life and that this goes out to all corners of the earth is pushed to the back of my mind because if I really thought about it I might be too scared to write it.
It has taken off and grown and the number of people who read it, sometimes overwhelms me. I am grateful and thankful to the readers out there and especially to those to take a moment out of their lives to write me their comments.
I would venture to say that 99.9% of the people who read my blog do not know me. So for those people let me tell you this: I am a really wonderful person. I got married at 25 and divorced at 30 with a 5-month-old son. I left a bad relationship and built a good life for my son and myself.
I have overcome many obstacles. Some I've discussed here, some I keep to myself and some I'm trying to decide if I want to share. I am on a spiritual path in terms of my religion and strive each and everyday to learn about my faith and live a Jewish life.
I am sarcastic and cynical. I have the mouth of a sailor and occasionally speak before I think. I try to be a good friend and am loyal to those I love. I always support the underdog and never pass a homeless person on the street asking for money without looking them in the eye, wishing them well, and giving them a dollar.
I am a great cook, a wonderful housekeeper and have the driving skills of a New York City cabbie. I am funny, smart and quick witted. I need to lose 30 pounds. By 30 of course I mean 20 and want my friends to say if I lose 30 I will be a rake and only need to lose 10 so then if I lose 20 I will feel good about myself. I am scared of the dark, have read Little Women over 50 times and really beautiful hair.
I'm just trying to live a good life and be a good mother and raise a divine little boy to be a respectful man who loves himself, his religion and his life. I do the very best that I can and it's not always easy and certainly not always a success. I try to trust myself and when I stumble and fall I get up and try again. I am both a tough broad and an overly sensitive woman.
I truly appreciate that you are reading my blog. To those of you who felt it was okay to attack me and my character this week, who felt it was ok to call me a bad mother and suggest my child was in danger, to condemn me to hell for sharing MY opinion about MY life, please allow me to send a heartfelt Suck It!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend and a peaceful Shabbat and for those of you who are sad, in the dark, and alone, I have been there and until you are able to do it for yourself, it will be my honor, on all of your behalves, to keep the faith.

So a few weeks ago I wrote an article about Jews and the porn industry. I was fascinated by it because I didn't think there were Jewish porn stars. One of the people I mentioned was Joanna Angel who is a Jewish girl who is a huge star in the adult entertainment industry.
Joanna Angel and I are not related and to be honest I'm not even sure it's her real name. When I blogged about her she sent me an email to say hello and said she liked what I wrote. I thought it was very kind. If you're reading today Joanna, Hello! I hope you had a nice holiday.
I get asked all the time if Angel is my real last name. It is. There are a lot of Jewish Angels actually. Rabbi Angel of London and Angel's bakery in Jerusalem. There is in fact another Ilana Angel. She is a super sweet young girl in London and we are Facebook friends. She is also Jewish.
While I am not a porn expert, I think I can safely say that Joanna is not your average porn star. She grew up in Boston with an Orthodox Jewish Israeli mom and an American dad. She graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in English Lit. and a minor in film studies.
She is a hard-core porn actress. We're not talking about late night Playboy channel stuff here. She is hard-core and so to my naïve mind, if someone were to know who she was, they would have to be familiar with her work right? That brings me to last night.
I'm online returning an email from a man on JDate when he sends me an instant message. I say hello. We are chatting and doing the first dance of surface questions and answers. Then, out of nowhere, he asks the question. The one question that changes everything. "Are you related to Joanna Angel?"
So now my mind is racing. Is he asking because he is a fan of her work? Is he asking because he read my article and wants an introduction to my new BFF? Is he a sex deviant? Is he testing me to see what my level of knowledge is on hard-core porn? I am shocked and stunned and don't know what to do.
So I say, "I don't think so. Where does she live?" He replies "She is an actress and I think she lives in New York." Well there you have it. It was over before it even began. I told him I had to go, wished him well with his search and signed off within 10 seconds.
Not only are there Jewish porn stars but there are Jewish men who follow Jewish porn stars. I live in a tiny bubble of suburbia where there is no porn and no one does drugs or cheats on their spouse. I was born in the wrong era. I would have been the perfect 1950's housewife.
Another potential suitor is cut down before he is even given a chance. To any men who are writing me to get to Joanna, not going to happen.
As for me, with each and every day the Internet becomes less and less appealing. I think it's scary and overwhelming. I might not have a tough enough skin to navigate these waters and on some days, like today, it's not enough to just be able to keep the faith.

I am not ashamed to admit that I loved Conveyor Belt of Love on ABC. It was silly and ridiculous and fantastic fun. I think Keiko should have her own show. She was hilarious and when she told the guy "I want you to worship me", I laughed out loud. I would rather watch this show for 48 consecutive hours than 5 minutes of Find My Family and it's miserable hosts. I hope they do more. It was mindless entertainment and sometimes we need that.
I referred to my son as "delicious" in a blog and a reader wrote to say it was creepy. Is she kidding? I love my son and he is quite simply delicious. Sarah wrote to say this word should only be used to describe toddlers or babies and referring to a teenager as delicious was sexually inappropriate. Some people are just sad and that she took the time to write me such nonsense makes me sad for her. I was hurt when I read her comment and in the end all I can do it laugh at the absurdity of it and wish her well.
I don't understand why I get emails online from men who live in another state. When they write from another country I assume it's a green card thing and say thanks but no thanks but the guys who write from around the country and want to chat, I just don't get. Especially when they list in their profile that they are not willing to relocate. Why are they writing? Is it silly to start up a conversation with a man in New York? Are we going to meet for coffee in Chicago? I just think it's weird and those who do it and have found love, bravo. You are braver and far less cynical than I am.
I blogged that my teenage son had an opinion about who I dated and a reader wrote to say that I was sick and crossing the line in terms of my son's involvement in my life. Who are these people? Reiner, you are a loon. I have a healthy and fantastic relationship with my child. If he has an opinion, about anything, I am going to listen and give it value. Just because he is a child does not mean he cannot have a voice. I think you should go on a date with Sarah. You two have a lot to talk about and clearly both have a lot of time on your hands to dedicate to each other.
I want to give a shout out to my new friend Ben who I met though my friend Andy. I was having a tough time having to deal with stupid people and he put it all into perspective. Thank you Ben.
Is it wrong that I every time my family calls from Canada to complain about how cold it is and how much snow they are getting I tell them I'm wearing a t-shirt and flip flops?
I was going to write a comment about Charlie Sheen but I learned my lesson after I wrote about Tiger Woods so I will bite my tongue and all I will say is Oy Vey!
Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to talking to you tomorrow. To Sarah and Reiner, good luck to you both and by good luck of course I mean get a life. I'm going to let all your rubbish go, take a deep breath and keep the faith.

After months of waiting The Bachelor premiered last night on ABC. I love this show and the hopeless romantic in me watches with an open heart and held breath that it will end in a happy ending. The cynical girl who lives just below the surface of my heart watches to see the train wrecks so she can say I told you so.
When Jake was walking around in his uniform with "On the Wings of Love" playing as the background music I could actually feel my heart flutter. It was great television and I was hooked within the first 5 minutes. The pilot gig is sexy and the uniform is delicious. Chris Harrison was, as always, a great host. Ryan who?
I was not a fan of Jake last year. He was a little boring and white toast for me but I'm a hardcore Jew lover so it makes sense I wouldn't fall in love with him. The thing is, I really like him. He is lovely and kind and appears to really be looking for love. He has a Tom Cruise vibe and that could be both good and bad I suppose, but for me it's all good.
I will go on record right now that my favorite girl after episode one is Tenley. I just loved her. She went in for the first kiss and I thought it was charming. That she put herself out there after being with only one other person was huge. I remember the first time I kissed a man after my divorce. I burst into tears. It was a very emotional thing and I felt both her fear and her bravery. Her divorce could be a turn off for Jake so we'll see.
Vienna may be a transvestite and Michelle could possibly make perfect television. Even if you hate this show, Michelle makes it worth watching. She cried on episode one and you know that's going to be just the beginning of crazy time. Elizabeth from Nebraska is stunning but has a hidden mean girl side so she may be a bonus train wreck. Ella, the single mom, is a loon. She is a hairdresser who had the most unattractive hair. I can tell she is going to crack. Can't wait!
Some of these girls are beyond beautiful. I think Gia is so pretty that I can't wrap my head around her being unlucky in love. Granted she has no personality and appears to not be that smart, but what I wouldn't give to be in that body for a week. I'd get bored eventually so I guess that's ultimately her problem with men but one week would be fantastic.
Ali with the sore throat is cute in a Sleeping Beauty kind of way and I think she will be around for a while. Valishia from Carlsbad listed her job as "Homemaker". What does that mean? She had the best dress of the night which was the only memorable thing about her. Then there is Channy, who is also a tranny, and he/she had the most mockable moment with her landing strip comment.
When the girls were all surprised that they did not get the first impression rose it was hilarious. They seriously all thought it would be them. It made me wish my full time job was to write about this show, which reminds me….. Steve McPherson? Hello? Are you ignoring me? Call Mike Fleiss and he will tell you there is no point. Just call and get it over with. I'm waiting.
It is going to be a great season. At the end of the day whether you like Jake or not, it is worth watching because the women will be entertaining. For me, the train wrecks are fabulous and the cattiness of the girls is fascinating but the real reason I will tune in each week is for the opportunity to watch two people fall in love.
I believe in love. I hope Jake finds what he is looking for and that the girl he picks is his Beshert and not a wannabe celebrity like Melissa Rycroft. Don't even get me started on her. I am thrilled for Jason and Molly and I wish them all the best with their upcoming wedding. He dodged a bullet on that one.
I will blog about The Bachelor on Tuesdays and I'm very excited because it will give me a nice break from the men who throw up on my shoes, don't respond to my emails and write me from prison. This show, as corny and silly as you may think it is, appeals to my heart and reminds me to keep the faith.

I cannot believe it is 2010 and my son will be 14 in 2 weeks. I feel like I just had a baby and now he is taller than me. He sat me down last week and told me I need to meet a great man and have a relationship. He was specific about the kind of man I should date and that it needed to happen this year.
It's strange to speak to him about it because he is my child, but on the flip side he knows me better than anyone else and who I share my life with will also be a part of his life so it makes sense that he would have an opinion and should have a say in who I date.
His words were wise and mature and it was fascinating to be having such a well thought out conversation with him. He is starting to date and what is really interesting is that we are 30 years apart and have a lot of the same insecurities in terms of dating. It's not any easier at 43 than it is at 13.
He said I needed to go online and write men instead of waiting for them to write me and then being disappointed because the ones who write are not what I am looking for. We went online and I wrote to 3 men that he approved. I wrote and expressed my interest and waited. It's been a week and I'm still waiting.
I respond to everyone that writes me online. I will thank them for the interest and taking the time. Even if we are never going to go out, I still write to acknowledge them because I think it is the decent and kind thing to do. Do men not do that or is it just the ones that I write to?
Are men not sensitive enough to know a response would be appropriate? Do they not care that I put myself out there? If you are approached in person and not interested don't you say thank you? Am I the only woman who responds? There is a complete lack of manners online and it's a shame because it makes me not want to do it and yet I know it's an necessary evil so in the end it's just another sad thing about dating on the Internet.
My son is interested in a girl at school and I told him to ask her out to a movie this week as they have another week of winter break. It's so cute that he told me to be brave but can't quite get there himself. I will teach him to be a decent man and have dating manners so he is respectful.
It's charming to be on this path with my son. I have not picked well in the past so maybe his help will lead me to love. His take on the last couple of men I was in a relationship with was spot on so I can and should totally trust him.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out because in the past he has met men only after I was already involved and now he wants a say in who I become involved with and that will take me a minute to embrace because it's a new approach.
I'm going to try to not be discouraged and will write men again online. I must expect that some will have manners and others will not. At the end of the day this is going to be my year to find love. I feel it coming so I need to be patient, remember my manners and always keep the faith.

Happy New Year!
After 15 hours at Disneyland with my son and his friends last night, I simply do not have a blog in me today. Frustrating because there is so much to talk about! I'm just stopping in to wish everyone a year of health and happiness. I think it's going to be a great year for me and that's the best part of this day. On the first day of the year you can believe everything is possible because there has been no time to prove it can't happen and that's a great feeling. God Bless and I will see you on Monday. Shabbat Shalom.

New Year's Eve is a wonderful day. You can, for a short moment, lie to yourself and truly believe those lies. You can promise that you will try to fix what has been broken, experience new things, better yourself, mend fences and live in a delusional state until you burst your own bubble.
I like this magical 24 hours and have been blessed to be able to accomplish at least one of my resolutions every year. In 2009 the one I stuck with was to stop eating meat and I am very proud of the accomplishment.
For my final blog of 2009 I have decided to publicly list my Top 20 List of resolutions, in no particular order, hereby inviting you to share in both my triumphs and failures:
1) Stop throwing away my hard earned money on JDate.
2) Lose 40 pounds and gain back only 20 so I lose the 20 I wanted.
3) Exercise because I love it not because I have to.
4) Study Torah.
5) Meet a Jewish man to share my life with.
6) Be a better recycler.
7) Forgive myself for my bad choices.
8) Forgive others for their bad choices.
9) Buy lottery tickets so I actually have a chance to win.
10) Don't date men who have hidden girlfriends.
11) Don't get another cat.
12) Keep a focused, not smothering eye on my son as he starts high school.
13) Stop dropping my iPhone every day.
14) Come to terms with the fact that Andy is gay and will never marry me.
15) Beat my son at a Wii game. Just once will do. Any game. Just once.
16) See more of California.
17) Do more yoga.
18) Learn how to make sushi.
19) Stop dating losers.
20) Stop allowing the losers I date to make me feel like a loser.
There you have it my friends. A hefty list to be sure, but there will be at least one resolution I accomplish and I feel confident this may be the year I master more than one.
I have learned a lot about myself through writing this blog and I thank you very much for reading. I wish us all health and happiness in 2010. Allow yourself to dream big because every once and a while dreams come true.
The one thing I will always do, with no resolution required, is Keep The Faith.
Happy New Year.

I moved to the States in 1991 and my first girlfriend here was Jel. I had friends through my family or my husband, but she was the first person I met on my own and we became fast friends. We met at work and for the past 18 years she has been someone who always shares her honest opinion, no holds barred.
Over the years we have gone through times where we talked 20 times a day and others when life got busy and we went long periods without contact. We know each other really, really well and are both able to read what is going on with the other and no matter how much time passes, when we talk, it's like two puzzle pieces coming together and everything snaps into place perfectly.
When we met, Jel had a very young daughter, was going through a divorce and I had been married for 3 weeks. We've been through marriages, divorces, the loss of our fathers, pregnancy, prosperity and penny pinching together. We have an unbreakable bond and will be friends until we are old and gray and one could argue that we are already old and gray.
For two people who are so close, we could not be more different. I am a hopeless romantic who believes in fairytale endings and Jel is the complete opposite. We hung out yesterday for coffee and shopping and got to talking about men and relationships and I could not stop laughing at her take on love. I pulled out my phone and start recording her because I didn't want to miss a thing.
Here are some quotes from my afternoon with Jel:
1) A man can be a great friend, a great father or a great lover but it's rare to find one man who can be all three.
2) At this stage in your life Ilana, you should stop looking for a husband and focus on finding a great lover.
3) I would like to have a great love life with someone who does not want to spend the night because I like to sleep alone and enjoy my solitude.
4) It is an unrealistic expectation, for both men and women, to think that one person can be everything you need.
5) If you want to talk about your day, call a girlfriend and do not bore the man in your life. He does not care.
6) If you want to have great sex, don't share all the crap about your day because it will be better sex if he is focused on only you, not every detail of your life.
The most fascinating part of my day with Jel is that it took me 18 years to figure out she has a man's brain. It's a medical miracle and I think she should go on Oprah. She is a woman who lives her life thinking like a man and if I were man, I would be all over her. How rare to have all that messed up love perspective in the body of a smoking hot chick.
I love my friend Jel and so I will go out today and buy her a Josh Groban CD, a Harlequin romance and The Notebook on DVD. It should only take me another 18 years to train her brain to come to a woman's side of romance. I know I can break her! All I need to do is keep the faith.

After one of the biggest marketing and advertising days of the year, many people are spending this week critiquing and analyzing every commercial from Super Bowl 46. Personally, I thought there were only a few really worth while commercials along with an array of disappointing ads. Here is my list of the 5 best and 5 worst commercials of this year's Super Bowl:
5. Chevy Silverado – 2012
Loved every aspect of this ad! With General Motors back at the number one spot, for auto sales worldwide, I'm glad to see them spend a few bucks. The apocalypse and the Twinkies were a great combo for this type of ad. My favorite part was the dig at Ford at the end, priceless!!
4. Doritos – Man's Best Friend
You didn't see nuthin'! Now this one made me laugh! You can always count on Doritos for a good laugh during the Super Bowl.
3. Hyundai – All For One ft. The Rocky Theme
I enjoyed this very much. It was great to show employees of the company from many points throughout the company supply chain. It really painted a solid picture of the hard work put in by a company from the manufacturing and logistics level all the way to the corporate employees.
2. Bud Light – Rescue Dog
This commercial was awesome on two levels. First, you can always count on funny commercial from Bud Light during the Super Bowl. Second, at the end there is a message to "help rescue dogs" along with a link to their Facebook page. I admire companies that can promote a good cause, especially during such a large event, but I wish they would have done it a little more than two seconds.
1. Chrysler – It's Halftime in America
This ad was just plain bad-ass! Clint Eastwood is a real American icon and was the perfect image that Chrysler could have ever asked for. Kudos to them for the message sent! But where was Chrysler in this ad?
5. Old Navy – Corporado Pants
Ok, I was the exact type of customer they were reaching out at and they failed miserably. I am the cowboy type and the business type. So Old Navy decides to show me a guy standing on a rock doing a few moves? It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't place this during the Super Bowl because it was a waste of money. I understand the market was there, but the overall brand is hurting so much that I don't think they should have picked such a niche for a big time ad spot.
4. Teleflora.com – Adriana Lima
True what they say, sex sells! I give them credit for investing that kind of change for this spot, but disappointed with the delivery. Yes, there were a lot of men watching and yes, Adriana Lima is sexy, but the message I received wasn't appropriate. From what I understand, if I buy flowers from Teleflora.com and give them to a girl I am for sure having sex with that girl. Men and women were highly stereotyped here. Bad message sent.
3. Verizon – Droid Razr Colors
Thanks for the update on colors, that'll be $3.5M please! Waste!
2. H & M – David Beckham
Were they trying to sell me underwear? A guy wearing underwear and moving slowly, while the camera oogles him, will not make me want to buy underwear! Sure, the ladies may enjoy this and buy the product for their man, but I can't say this was worth the money either.
1. GoDaddy.com – Both commercials!
I won't even bother posting the video because it isn't worth your time. GoDaddy has failed at commercials for a long time, yet they keep shelling out the money. All they sell is sex, not websites. I'd like to see the ROI of these Super Bowl commercials!
I'm sure there are many versions of this type of post and that many will agree/disagree, but I thought it'd be fun to make my first ever Super Bowl post. Let me know where your favorites rank!

Beneficiary Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
When you are the beneficiary of a retirement plan, specific IRS rules regulate the minimum withdrawals you must take. If you want to simply take your inherited money right now and pay taxes, you can. But if you want to defer taxes as long as possible, there are certain distribution requirements with which you must comply. Use this calculator to determine your Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) as a beneficiary of a retirement account.
For more information about this Plug-in please visit: SUN's JavaT Plug-in For more information these financial calculators please visit: Financial Calculators from KJE Computer Solutions, LLC
If the account owner was younger than the beneficiary, and it was past the required begin date for distributions when the account owner died, the beneficiary can choose to use the account owner's life expectancy to calculate Required Minimum Distributions (RMD). In this special case, the result will always produce a lower RMD. If this situation occurs, this calculator will use the account owner's age when calculating RMDs. Other than using the account owner's age at death, the calculation is identical to the one stated above.
A final option, used by this calculator, is the ability for a spouse to take an inherited account and treat it as his or her own. In this case, no distributions are required until the year in which the spouse reaches age 70 1/2. When distributions do begin, the spouse can use the Uniform Lifetime Table, which produces longer life expectancies than the Single Life Expectancy table, to determine the applicable life expectancy. In addition, a spouse is able to "recalculate" or lookup a new life expectancy from the Uniform Lifetime Table each year. This produces the lowest RMD in all but the most unusual situations. This calculator will always assume that a spouse will wish to treat an inherited IRA as their own.
Information and interactive calculators are made available to you as self-help tools for your independent use and are not intended to provide investment advice. We cannot and do not guarantee their applicability or accuracy in regards to your individual circumstances. All examples are hypothetical and are for illustrative purposes.

J: Squezze in my belly please! Oh so yummy, a Veggie burger from Squeeze In topped with crazy cheese so crazy and cheesy it will require TUM, ta TUM, TUM! (not quite). Mole ordered their Squeeze Burger, I tasted it but didn't like it because the meat lacks flavor. I guess the reason why the meat lacks flavor is because the cheese sorta balance it out to give it a little flavor. (if that is their purpose) I didn't like it. I'm glad I ordered the Veggie burger because its less greaser, lighter on the tummy, and flavorfull. They also have other cool stuffs they serve like tacos and dogs. My sister ordered their hot dog and she said it was delicious. The presentation was pretty nice, I don't have the picture of it. I think it's in Moles phone. I will have him post it up for you hot dog fans. (ME) :)
If you enjoy big burger and a cheese lover please do check this joint out. You will feel like its a new whole world :) sorta**
Pros- awesome service, they cook in front of you, chilling environment, $
Cons- small

It's only fitting that Dave Esworthy has called the place dubbed "The Horse Capital of B.C." his home since 1996.
Starting in the late 1960s, Esworthy has been "Mr. Equine" for this province's equestrian community, and he's done it on a volunteer basis.
This, while juggling a family life and a very busy professional career in which he was sales manager and later president and CEO of Hastings Brass Foundry Ltd. from 1972 to 1994.
The 83-year-old's dedication and sacrifice to the equine field will be recognized today, Sept. 20, when he is formally inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
The 2012 inductees - nine individuals including Esworthy and one team - will officially join the Hall at the BC Sports Hall of Fame's 44th Annual Banquet of Champions at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
"It sort of grows on you," Esworthy said, of the honour.
"When it came about, it was a total surprise. I was very excited when I heard about it, probably February before I knew what it was all about. It was something I haven't even thought of. The
[BC] Sports Hall of Fame was the furthest from my mind. I didn't go out and win medals in show jumping or anything like that."
That's because most of Esworthy's good work was done behind the scenes.
He has served in virtually every role possible in his sport: as a rider, judge, steward, horse show organizer, horse show chair, and industry advisor. Beginning as a young cowboy wrangling horses on a ranch to his current status as an Equine Canada and FEI steward, judge, and clinician, Esworthy has experienced the sport at all levels over a 50plus-year career. He served as president of Horse Council BC, Equine Canada, and assisted in the preparations for equestrian events at the 1976 and 1984 Olympic Games.
Esworthy served as a director with the Canadian Horse Council from 1972 to '77, and took on the role of president of the Canadian Equestrian Federation (now Equine Canada) from 1977 to '84 before chairing the organization from 1984 to '91.
"Was it a full time job?" Esworth asked rhetorically. "We had a brand-new organization, brand-new constitution, a vast network across the country that was trying to get formed, and I was working an eight hour [each day] job. My day started, at least four days out of five in a week, with a phone call about 6: 30 or 7 [in the morning] from Ottawa, 'How do you want to handle this, what do you want to do about that?'"
He also chaired the PNE horse show for a number of years, and in 1968 became the B.C. vice president and zone chair of the National Equestrian Federation of Canada. That started his long involvement in the equestrian field, at the administrative level.
"I've been involved in horses and sport most of my life," Esworthy said.
This love for horses blossomed when Esworthy was a boy.
His aunt and uncle, Myrtle and Alex Philip, built Rainbow Lodge, a summer fishing resort on 10 acres of land on the northwest corner of Alta Lake, near Whistler, in 1914. It was a place in which Esworthy grew very familiar.
"As part of the resort, she [Myrtle] had horses," Esworthy said. "As I grew up, I rode them and then ultimately looked after them and became sort of the wrangler/trail guide. Then I worked for a couple of years- in the Cariboo at a ranch and then I decided there was no future in that, so I came back to the city and got married and we had our son."
According to the BC Sports Hall of Fame, "Esworthy's biggest impact is in the countless individuals he has mentored in B.C., Canada, and beyond, who themselves have gone on to become accomplished athletes, officials, and administrators."
Esworthy also became a familiar name to those outside of the equestrian field when he assumed the role of co-chair and then chair of the board of the Langley 2010 Spirit of B.C. community committee, in the lead-up to the Vancouver/Whister 2010 Olympics.
The 2008 H.D. Stafford Langley Good Citizen of the Year Award winner also worked in a number of roles with the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, including president from 2003-04 and past president in 2004-05.
He was the director of the Justice Institute of B.C. from 1997 to June, 2003.

Two-headed snakes, dragons, frogs, and birds are among the pre-Colombian cave pictographs carved in this gourd. Each gourd has it's own unique animal design, each one being different, and are picked at random.
Includes a Spanish inscription on the back, identifying the tribe, region, and name associated with the design. The Pre-Colombian gourd comes with a 10-page booklet detailing its use in South American culture and instructions on how to cure, pack, and care for your gourd. Gourds are roughly the size of an average apple, some are a little bigger, some are a little smaller. It varies because they are natural. They are very comfortable to hold in your hand. *Bombilla not included. | A Fair-Trade Product.
Preparation Preparing yerba mate in a gourd is an art.
Gourd Drinking History The Gauchos The gauchos (Argentine cowboys) are notorious for drinking yerba mate as their "liquid vegetable," relying on its array of nutients to power them throughout the day. "...the Gaucho, possessing few wants and poor in the midst of inexhaustible riches, is the child of unconcern; with food or without, with shelter or not, a paper cigar, a little mate (Paraguayan tea), one meal a day of meat cooked in the open air without bread or vegetables, and his guitar at night, and he rests content; but if you add a Sunday suit of clothes with silver mounted trappings for his horse, his pride and delight are unbounded, and as he curvets over the plain, having attained the summit of his ambition, no more a vivid picture of human self-satisfaction could be presented." --Ernest William White (1881)
In Paraguay, yuyeras (herbalists) have been using yerba mate for centuries as the base of herbal medicine mixtures called "remedios" or remedies. It is common to make "remedios" with yerba mate by steeping medicinal herbs in the water used to prepare mate in the gourd. It is believed that by improving circulation and promoting balance, yerba mate acts as a catalyst to enhance the healing powers of other herbs. Guayakí's tea bag blends are inspired by the yuyeras.
The Mate Ceremony Excerpt from "The Mate" by Mónica G.Hoss de le Comte "When people gather to drink mate (mah-tay) something magical happens. It is a simple, daily custom and yet it has all the characteristics of a ceremony. Like any ceremony it has rites which are carefully performed in the same way, day after day. It is a moment of leisure with friends and family. In the country, the gauchos sit together around the fogón (the campfire), sipping their mate after a long day's work. Tiredness breeds silence and silently the mate gourd circles from hand to hand. And then, slowly, conversation starts, people come closer together, confidences are exchanged. The mate ceremony resembles the American rite of the calumet, the pipe of peace. There too, the pipe goes from hand to hand, completing the circle, offering hospitality and goodwill. Mate is drunk by everybody: it is a drunk by the trucker and his companion in the loneliness of the long, never-ending routes (they use a vessel with a wide mouth into which it is easy to pour the hot water in spite of the jolts along the track); by students, when studying; by workers during their midday rest; at home for breakfast or on any other occasion, rain or shine, in summer or in winter."
I fell in love when I first got this gourd. The perfect size, shape, and drawing. I highly recommend this gourd to anyone that appreciates drinking maté with friends! =D

wonderful gourd! Been using it almost daily for a month and it is seasoning nicely. Good thickness. Other user comments were spot-on and very helpful :)

Nice thickness to it, very durable, great artwork. Very impressed.
I purchased the Pre-Colombian gourd, and I love it! The engraving is from the Cultura Aguada tribe of northern Argentina, and it's called "Pájaro" (bird). I've been using it every day for 6 months, and it's still going strong. This is a beautiful item, worth every penny I paid and more.

Absolutely beautiful!
We purchased our guard in homage to lost art and with the hope that "our patronage" will allow a local artist to earn a living where they live. Support the local economy with a time-honored symbol of friendly sharing that has been passed down for generations...
I cannot reccomend a better gourd. After leaving it cure for 2 days(alternating boiling water ever 6 hours or so), it was ready to be used. I filled it up a little more than halfways with yerba mate, and happily drank over 12 gourdfulls throughout the day. It has become my primary vessel for brewing Yerba mate in. An interesting design adorns one side. Better than the design, there is (I think spanish) writing on the other side of mine with the artists initials. This really gives the gourd charactor, and truely makes it one of a kind. Everything about this gourd gets a strong: 5/5 !
Design and texture are very nice. It's smaller than expected so it doesn't hold very much. Sometimes worried it will tip over.

I ordered a mate gourd, and on the order I specified some things I wanted, certain features, such as the size of the gourd, the specific design, and the size of the opening. Guayaki sent me a beautiful gourd, and they clearly paid attention and responded to requests because I got all the features I asked for. Thanks a lot, Guayaki!

Exploring Moroccan Kasbahs In Ouarzazate, Kasbah Taourirt & Ait Benhaddou, Former Residences of Pasha Glaoui, Your Morocco Travel Guide
For anyone interested in touring Morocco's kasbahs or ksars, I highly recommend starting with Kasbah Taourirt, the Pasha Glaoui's former palace in Ouarzazate. Kasbah Taorirt was built by the Pasha Glaoui. Its location was strategic for trading routes and in the 1930's when the Glaoui ruled the South was then considered one of Morocco's largest Kasbahs. Kasbah Taourirt was one of the places Glaoui kept his slaves. As a Moroccan traveler you can explore its nooks and crannies to discover its history and often local female painters who sell their art inside as well as the many quality silver shops just steps outside the Kasbah.

I can't see any help reference to which profile(s) or modes will get rid of these pesky files.
Clearly it's essential that they are wiped for any kind of privacy. I used to have to do this by booting in safe mode but assumed that buying the tool would do the job for me.
Can someone please advise ? Are these files all destroyed in a default clean-up ?

Outsourced: Hello, Elections!
Tribal women in line to vote.
Today concluded the first of five phases of the Indian election, where 60% of voters turned out to the polls. (Refer to my earlier post for the basics of the Indian political system.) The states where voting began were Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Lakshwadeep and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Thousands of troops have been deployed to the states to
With month-long elections in the world's biggest democracy, it can't be expected for the process to without a few kinks — or violence. Maoist insurgents in central and eastern India, with landmines and rocket bombs, killed 17 people in 14 attacks at poll stations across India. The Naxalites, the Maoist insurgents, have been battling with the Indian government forever and a day. One would think with so many troops deployed, even localized events like this could be avoided.
Currently, it seems as though the current Congress (I) Party and the Bharataya Janata Party will get the majority of votes, while some smaller ethnic and minority parties will take a smaller piece of the pie. Regardless, after the election, new coalitions will have to be stitched together to keep the Indian government in functioning order. The Congress Party, as a reminder, is Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's party and India's explosive economic growth is attributed to them. On another note, the Congress Party has often been criticized for its handling of the 11/26 terrorist attacks in Mumbai last year. BJP, on the other hand, tends to take hardline stances on terrorism, while inciting friction between Indian Muslims and Christians.
With this only being the beginning, it will be interesting to see the elections pan out. (A whole month of election day coverage? Yes! I know you're pumped!) Have any questions? Field them here! I'll definitely do some research and incorporate it into any future blog posts.

Outsourced: The Pocket Handbook
Our democratic BFF in Asia, India, has finally announced the polling dates for the country's upcoming elections: April 16, April 23, April 30, May 7, and May 13. Why the phased election? Holidays, festivals, possible monsoon weather, harvest season, and most importantly, school examinations. India's elections will undoubtedly be intense — 714 million eligible voters? 4 million election workers? Oh, it'll be glorious, you betcha.
Yeah, that's right. India's electronic.
As BBC tweeted this news to me, I realized I had no idea how the Indian government is structured. (Shame, isn't it?) Still, with the Interweb at my fingertips, I decided to compile a little government guide (sans the judicial branch) for my benefit and yours becaues I didn't want to study. (Yes, yes, I know. An educational blupdate. Exciting!) Read more and get informed!

wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamthe telegraph
West Ham supporters back move to Olympic Stadium, insists club vice-chairman Karren Brady West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady claimed that the supporters who had seen the detailed proposals to move from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium were "100 per cent" behind the switch if their 99-year lease tender to become the anchor tenant succeeds. Olympic Stadium - Supporters back West Ham move to Olympic Stadium, insists vice-chairman Karren Brady Big attraction: West Ham moving to the 60,000-seat Olympic Stadium would attract an extra million visitors a year to the Olympic Brady said she had shown scores of supporters on an advisory board, representing a cross-section of the club membership, the detailed plans for the move, the finances underpinning the optimism for a switch from the 35,000-seat Upton Park and the opportunities to grow the club and the area. She said having West Ham at the 60,000-seat Olympic Stadium would attract an extra million visitors a year to the Olympic Park and bring a global profile to the stadium. Importantly for the supporters, such a move would bring about reduced ticket prices, even though the club's owners were injecting around £30 million a year to underpin the club's finances. "They are persons of substantial wealth," said Brady of David Sullivan and David Gold, noting that they were personally committed to the club having taken on £100 million of debt – an amount since whittled down to £70 million – and were fully behind the proposed move. Brady said all of the supporters have had to sign a strict confidentiality clause before hearing the plans but claimed "all of them have agreed with what I have presented, there hasn't been a single dissenting voice". She was slightly frustrated that the plans could not be divulged to the wider fan base until a decision had been taken. Dear Karen,football supporters just love sitting up to 100 meters from the actionwatching stick men run around. We already have FIFA and UEFAinflicting these types of stadia on football supporters for big games. Rome's Olympic stadium, Japan's Yokohama joke. Should all be banned. Now you want to do it to bread and butter fans. Should be rules against making paying punters pay for What a treasure West Ham are. The easiest short-term way to get the club out of debt is to take on the Olympic stadium lease and sell Upton Park. Especially if they don't get promoted this season. Another season in tier two will see many of the current side's best players leave. Sullivan has already said that Upton Park can't pay the club's way anymore if they want to play top-flight football. But you just know once they move that after four or five years of dwindling attendance and recurring moans of financial worry, the 2017 world athletics event will be finished and the club will then claim that the stadium is unsuitable for football and has to be rebuilt. And with no profitable sporting option remaining to justify keeping the White Elephant Bowl operating, there will be calls for it to be humanely pulled down. Just as Spurs said should happen in their initial bid for the site. Installing retractable seating for the lower bowl is folly because the slope of the seats will still be far too shallow to afford good sightlines for most fans. You 'd be far better off staying home and watching on HD-3D TV. Unless Brady's proposing to use lawn chairs and brollies on the track, the expense of installing these dream seats and the extensive re-roofing needed to comply with Premier League stadium regulations is beyond any of the ridiculous estimates being bandied about. Honestly, if you were a current WH season seat holder, what possible motive could you have for renewing your tickets in the new ground? It will be a gawdawful place to watch a game in. You'll be able to stroll up minutes before kickoff and get seats in any section you like. And you'll be able to put your feet up properly because there'll be plenty of empty seats around you. West Ham's cash flow will take a terrible downturn and good players will not be affordable. It's been a good laugh thus far watching this corrupt, cockamamie stitch-up with the OPLC fall apart. So go on then, get in there and give us an encore. funny because everyone i know and talk to do not want to go there how do we know this it is not as if there has been a vote and independent people have counted each vote i think we are being stitched up lbc West Ham Fans Don't Understand Olympic Move Karren Brady has told LBC 97.3 she doesn't think the West Ham fans "understand" why the club wants to move to the Olympic Stadium - but once they do they'll fully support it. She's also blamed the way the competition is being run for not allowing them to show off their plans to fans. The Hammers vice chair, who can see the Olympic Park from her boardroom window, has been leading on the East London's clubs plans for more than 2 years. West Ham were nominated as preferred bidders last year to takeover the Stadium from 2014 before a legal challenge from London rivals Spurs & Leyton Orient forced the process to start all over again. Now they're one of four bidders looking to become 'tenants'. Asked by our Olympics correspondent John Cushing whether she thought West Ham fans want to go she admitted many still need persuading but its not their fault. "I think the fans don't understand what it means to go. I think if their view is that what West Ham will do is pick up goalposts on a Friday and play there on a Saturday then I don't think they do want to go. If they could see the vision we have for it that makes it a world class football stadium - I mean a stadium for football as well as stadium for athletics and that would mean certain different configurations in winter compared to summer months then I think if they understand the facilities, the views and the easy location in terms of transport they would understand that, but because of the way competition is run we're not allowed to visualise for our supporters what the stadium will be if lucky enough to move their." A spokesman for the London Legacy Development Corporation (formerly the Olympic Park Legacy Company) said it was to make sure the competition was "robust" and fair to all. The Olympic Stadium will become the home of British Athletics after the London Olympics and will stage the 2017 World Athletic Championships. The University of East London and Essex Cricket Club confirmed to LBC 97.3 last week they are also jointly bidding to use the stadium - but Ms Brady is quite clear West Ham and Athletics are the perfect permanent match. "In terms of sharing the stadium I think as many uses as possible will make it very viable but I think there needs to be anchor tenants. It has to centre around football as the winter sport and the summer sport being athletics and then if can slot in pop concerts and one off large sporting events then I think that helps make stadium viable as well as community use." And fans used to going to the Boleyn Ground or Upton Park will also have to get used to a new name. The Legacy Company are looking to seel 'naming rights' but "as long as looks and feels like home for West Ham that's all we care about - and I mean look and feel - we've got certain traditions we'd like to take with us and that will be important to us." Karren was speaking as her book 'Strong Woman - Ambition, Grit and a Great Pair Of Heels' which is now. Roma and Juventus are both eyeing summer moves for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, who cost the club £22m in January 2011. talkSPORT Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has instructed his chief French scout Gilles Grimandi to compile a dossier on Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud, who is rated at £50m. Daily Mail Wenger is also set to go head to head with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing of Sunderland striker Stephane Sessegnon.

WOLVES have been dealt another blow as Jamie O'Hara and Jody Craddock are out for the rest of the season. Both players have had surgery — key midfielder O'Hara on his groin and centre-back Craddock on a hamstring. It is the latest in a long line of injury problems for bottom-placed Wolves. MICHEL VORM believes Brendan Rodgers should be manager of the year. The Swansea keeper said: "We play some of the best football in the league — I think Brendan is manager of the year." ALEX McLEISH will rush Charles N'Zogbia back against Liverpool on Saturday. The under-fire Aston Villa boss had expected to be without the winger for a month with a knee injury. Championship THE Football League have given Millwall permission to wear a white kit this weekend against Hull in tribute to Barry Kitchener. The Lions legend died last Friday, aged 64, after a short cancer battle. Kitchener made a club-record 602 appearances in defence — many in the all-white 70s kit. HERITA ILUNGA, 30, wants to remain at Doncaster. The ex-West Ham left-back's short-term contract expires after the Easter double-header with Leicester and Burnley. NIGEL CLOUGH has offered Jamie Ward and Paul Green new deals at Derby. Clough is keen to persuade winger Ward, 25, to sign a contract extension and kill off interest from Leicester. Republic of Ireland midfielder Green, 28, is a free agent this summer and has been offered a two-year deal. But Clough faces selling defender Jason Shackell to lower the wage bill. WREXHAM defender Nathaniel Knight-Percival, 25, will jump from non-league to the Championship after signing a pre-contract agreement with Peterborough. Posh have transfer listed midfielder George Boyd, 26, and striker Paul Taylor, 24, because they rejected new offers. League One REECE BROWN is set to stay at Oldham for the rest of the season. Manchester United have agreed to the deal for the defender, 20, who is the kid brother of former player Wes. SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY striker Gary Madine has been watching Sheffield United's 31-goal Ched Evans to pick up tips. Madine, 21, who has 17 goals this season, admitted: "I'm trying to learn from watching Ched. "He's got all-round ability, and if I can be considered in the same bracket I'll be delighted." sorry people will have to give babe of the day a miss i do not understand how to get the link up as it comes up different on this sack of ****
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamThanks CH.
If what Brady has said about the OS is true then that just about sums the woman up.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamCheers CH.
As for today´s BOTD? Leave that to me http://www.youhot.com/upload/Pictures/storage/Hot-Twins-hot-twins-girls-blonde.jpg EDIT: OS Ticket prices will skyrocket - they´ll have to supply a pair of binoculars with every seat judging by that photo!
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamCheers CH.
Oh **** of Karen you jumped up tart. Dirty liar, i don't know one West Ham fan that supports the move.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamVery happy about bod...
I'm not so sure what is wrong with what Brady says there to be honest. It sounds pretty much spot on
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamsorry Karen but your wrong
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
On what part is she wrong ?
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamCheers CH, as always.
So Karen, WHU supporters who have seen full details of the plans for OS are 100% behind it are they? Well if they are that fookin good, let us all see these detailed plans shall we and then you will get a true picture of what the fans really think rather than the distorted picture you are currently painting. Don't take us for mugs Karen.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamI thought what was discussed at the SAB meeting was confidential.? Given Brady's disclosures perhaps an SAB member can confirm now:
1.. Did you see 'detailed plans'? 2.. Did you see a breakdown of the 'finances'? 3.. Was there no 'single dissenting voice'? 4.. Did the Report submitted reflect the '100% support' amongst fans for the move?
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
Brady said all of the supporters have had to sign a strict confidentiality clause before hearing the plans but claimed "all of them have agreed with what I have presented, there hasn't been a single dissenting voice". She was slightly frustrated that the plans could not be divulged to the wider fan base until a decision had been taken. The only parts in which Karen is wrong, is it was not 100%, maybe 98%... and that the plans were not DETAILED.. but more like Concept. otherwise the lady is spot on.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamShes just wrong
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamCheers CH, judging by that OS picture, that is how our attendance will look like on a match day too!
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
Ta Ben. Not sure a 'mock up, is the equivalent of 'detailed plans', but hey.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
No very true, but until we're preferred bidder there won't be a budget to get the architects in to make the detailed plans. There was (limited) explanation as to how it would work from a stadium modification point of view.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west ham
How many supporters are we talking about here? 100? More or less? She won't be lying, but she's apparently very carefully chosen her words. In circumstances where people will read them and possibly think that we all approve of them...
Perish the thought!
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamCheers CH!
Funniest thing i've read in a long time? Heskey? Haaaa! Lucky still be playing top flight football imvho!
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamBrady will be first to jump ship when it all goes horribly wrong.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamWhen you look at those pictures of the stadium it looks like the grass area is just the square for the fields events.
If the grass is put right out to the edge of the running track it might not look that bad. City of Manchester Stadium ws converted so why not this one. Think it is time to accept that is where we are going and there is not that much we can do about it. Maybe once detailed plans are in available it would look better. Selling Upton Park which in turn would reduce our debt considerably making us a self sufficient club sounds o.k to. Might not get 60k if we move today but it does open it up to others. As long as they have a section for the moaners and boos. If it has the same site lines as Wembly not too sure what the issues are. My glass is half full on this one! It looks impressive from the outside when i go past it at Stratford.
Re: wednesday's news 4th april includes west hamWhat is that thing to the left of the stadium above the roof? It seems to resemble the worlds craziest rollcoaster....
Everything Olympic is bent
