Tre Trattoria Downtown
Online Reservations
As a regular traveler, returning to a restaurant in an area by choice is rare. I could probably eat at Tre Trattoria every night, try something new, and have it be my new favorite thing on the menu. Both of my dining experiences there in the past week were wonderful. Each server suggested their own "favorite" dishes and were very educated on their menus. The Fettuccine and Duck Confit was superb. The Tuscan Farro Salad was amazing. You can tell that a lot of energy, effort, and emotion goes into the preparation of all of the dishes at Tre Trattoria.
What a great place just steps from the river walk! The restaurants on the river walk are always crowded and the food is mediocre and overpriced. So, we went to street level and found Tre...it was amazing! I wanted to try everything on the menu. In the end, we got the pulled to order mozzarella, wagyu beef meatballs and pasta, and the pork chops. Every dish was so delicious! The mozzarella is a must try. I will definitely go here again the next time I'm in San Antonio.
Went with co workers and we agreed the in house cheese and the meatballs were two of the best things we have ever eaten.
Lovely. The early seaing was great for my young family. Although no "kids menu" servers made simple accommodations for us and although fully adult size portions- everything was eaten by my 6/7 yr. old boys. Additionally they brought small balls of pizza dough and wine corks for "rollers" - kids loved it- and mom was grateful. Pasta was great. Pork chop perfectly cooked- and exceptionaly tastey. The only weak point were the cocktails. Neither of the signature drinks we ordered were very enjoyable - one too sweet, one really too plain. Wine list looked good.
Absolutely loved the food! The location was charming! The only downside was that it is very loud in the dining room, we found ourselves yelling at each other a lot, but that is a very small downside.
Just a few blocks from the Riverwalk you will find a great Italian spot. Good food, good service. Highly recommend
I've never been to SA w/ out having the typical Mexican Food at a restaurant. So glad to see SA represent with a wonderful menu. Big fan if Chef Jason Dady. And our server, Vanessa, was friendly and made us feel like family! We found this place during the SA Cocktail conference & this time came for brunch. We'll definitely be back! (Esp for the goat cheese & pistachio pizza and made-to-order mozarella!) cheers!
Great Italian restaurant for those looking for authentic Italian in San Antonio.
Located in an historic building that was moved across town for a better hotel location, Tre' Trattoria at the Fairmont provides very satisfying comfort food with and Italian tone. This is not the typical heavy red sauce type of Italian food, but a more northern variety with creamy sauces and simple San Marzano tomato sauce. Try the parmesan fried chicken with mashed potatoes for a nice twist on an American classic!
Great little place on the corner of S Alamo and across from the La Vilitta loved the atmosphere and the Chef is devine...
Excellent menu with unique flavors. house made cheeses are fantastic. Overall great experience.
Nice selection of eclectic food pairings for brunch. 1$ mimosas for first 2 then prices go up. Parking is atrocious but they do have valet service for a fee, waived if you spend a certain dollar amount at Tre-which always seems to happen when I go. The coffe is brewed fresh per cup and absolutely delicious.
In celebration of San Antonio's Food Week, we select a few restaurants we have never visited before or only once in the past. Tre Trattoria, downtown, was a very pleasant surprise the food was excellent and the waiter's suggestion of pairing the Pinot Grigio was excellent. Yes to both questions; we would recommend Tre Trattoria - Downtown and yes, we will return. Thank you again for a wonderful lunch.
Tre Trattoria on Broadway is one of our favorites, but this was our first visit to the downtown location in the Fairmont Hotel. We have always been fans of this location with previous restaurants in this spot. The proximity to downtown activities is a plus, and the valet parking provided by the hotel staff is an even bigger plus. On a very busy night in San Antonio, we were able to drive right up to the Fairmont and drop off our car and conveniently walk into Tre for a fantastic dinner. Given how much we like the other Tre, it was no surprise that everything here was terrific from the Belini's to start to the Pumpkin Crostada to finish and all in between. Downtown diners should try the Tre.
First time at this restaurant, we can't wait to return. We were immediately seated by our server, Jared. Service was quick, but not rushed. The menu did not have the common Italian dishes. The dishes we had were served at the appropriate temperature, no one flavor overbearing. Water and bread was plentiful, since we only drank water. The chef prepared a special dessert, not on the menu, a sweet potato crostata topped with ice cream which was surprisingly delicious. We sat overlooking the riverwalk. The only negative for first timers was the parking. We didn't know where to park and ended up paying for parking, but then told we could park in hotel parking at no cost. A wonderful meal for a reasonable price.
I have used this location several times for personal business lunch meetings where I want to meet with associates to work out unique solutions to business problems over lunch. The restaurant, service and food are very conducive to have a relaxed atmosphere for creative discussions and the wait staff is both respectful of our business while being attentive to our dining needs. I like it and will return soon.
We were in San Antonio for the marathon and wanted an Italian restaurant the night before. We chose this one based on reviews from Urban Spoon and Trip Advisor. They did not disappoint. Great everything!
Great food and service! We will definitely go back again!

A really good 3rd game in the franchise, I actaully think its a little bit better than Giants. The addition of a "jump" button is nice, being that I really dislike jump pads, however I don't like that they added it by changing a lot of controls for the WII mote. I know it's a small gripe, but this is the 3rd game, I've got a good rhythem down with my characters. Also, I know I'm in the minority here, but I miss the motion controls when openning gates and treasure chests. It one of the main reason I got a wii. The swapforce figures offer a really fun and different game play, allowing you to really maximize your personal play style even more. I do think they put out too many new figures this time and maybe could have cut it back a little.I like the new graphics, and that I can still use my Giants in the game, as well as the new swapforce challenge zones, which can only be unlike by a select number of figures.

We are on the fourth purchase of Swap Force. My first 2 were for the WIIU and both the first set froze up within 20 min as was not able to move even after shutting down the system. I took the second one back on the same day it froze up immediately. The 3rd and forth choices I purchased the WII version and it worked for a longer period of time (maybe an hour but the froze up as well). I really like the graphics and the portal plugs into the game so the constant need for batteries is eliminated but it doesn't work. Too many glitches !

My 9 year old loves the skylander series. When this one came out he had to have it right away. He likes that the characters can swap out. He spends a lot of time just playing with characters, not just the video game.

The game is more refined than it's prequels. Graphics and gameplay are smoother. Although this has caused me to spend more money by purchasing more Skylander figures, I've enjoyed the time playing this game with my child.

Could you mention a few of the stuff you did try if you remember them. That way we don't need to go the same hurdles and can reach the crux of the problem faster.
And becuase life is so special we don't know exactly which LUAs do not work with patch 3, right? Though I would assume it would be the LUAs that arn't game breaking. The LUAs that belong to each individual Masari, Novus and Hierarchy unit, structure, power,etc. Those that are part of the GUI and UI.
I think I should make a new thread and people should post there which LUAs don't work with UaW on patch 3 so that way we can weed out what doesn't work and not waste time on it or know which we should try to fix.

Exercise and cold weather: Tips to stay safe outdoors
Dressing in layers, protecting your hands and feet, and paying attention to the forecast can help you stay safe and warm while exercising outdoors in cold weather.
By Mayo Clinic staffSo you don't like grinding out miles on the treadmill or power walking the malls, but you dread exercising during cold weather. Unfortunately, cold weather can discourage even the most motivated exercisers. And if you're not so motivated, it's all too easy to pack away your workout gear along with your warm-weather clothing.
You don't have to let cold weather spell the end of your exercise. With these tips for exercising during cold weather, you can stay fit, motivated and warm when the weather turns chilly.
Stay safe during cold-weather exercise
Almost everyone can exercise safely during cold weather. But if you have certain conditions, such as asthma, heart problems or Raynaud's disease, check with your doctor before you work out in cold weather. Your doctor can review any special precautions you need based on your condition or medications you might take. The following tips can also help you stay safe — and warm — while working out in the cold.
Dress in layers
One of the biggest mistakes you can make while exercising in cold weather is to dress too warmly. Exercise generates a considerable amount of heat — enough to make you feel like it's much warmer than it really is. Yet, once your sweat starts to dry, you can get chilled. The solution?
Dress in layers that you can remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put back on as needed. First, put on a thin layer of synthetic material, such as polypropylene, which draws sweat away from your body. Avoid cotton, which stays wet next to your skin. Next, add a layer of fleece or wool for insulation. Top this with a waterproof, breathable outer layer. A heavy down jacket or vest may cause you to overheat if you're exercising hard. If you're lean, you may need more insulation than someone who is heavier. If it's very cold, consider wearing a face mask or scarf to warm the air before it enters your lungs.
You may need to experiment before you find a combination of clothing that works well for you based on your exercise intensity. Keep in mind, too, that stop-and-go activities, such as mixing walking with running, can make you more vulnerable to the cold if you repeatedly work up a sweat and then get chilly.
Protect your hands, feet and ears
When it's cold, blood flow is concentrated on your body's core, leaving your hands and feet vulnerable to frostbite. Try wearing a thin pair of gloves under a pair of heavier gloves or mittens lined with wool or fleece. Don the mittens or gloves before your hands become cold and then remove them if your hands begin to sweat.
Considering buying exercise shoes a half-size or one size larger than usual to allow for thick thermal socks or an extra pair of regular socks. And don't forget a hat or headband to protect your ears, which also are vulnerable to frostbite.
Pay attention to weather conditions and wind chill
Exercising when it's cold and raining can make you more vulnerable to the cold. If you get soaked, you may not be able to keep your core body temperature high enough, and layering won't help if your clothes are wet. If it's extremely cold, you may need to take your exercise indoors or skip it for a day or two.
Wind chill extremes can make exercising outdoors unsafe even if you dress warmly. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body, and any exposed skin is vulnerable to frostbite.
If the temperature dips well below 0 F (-17.8 C) or the wind chill is extreme, consider taking a break or choosing an indoor activity instead, or take extra precautions if you choose to exercise outdoors anyway.
Choose appropriate gear
If it's dark when you exercise outside, wear reflective clothing. To stay steady on your feet, choose footwear with enough traction to prevent falls, especially if it's icy or snowy. Wear a helmet while skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling. Consider using chemical heat packs to warm up your hands or feet.

I was walking along the Beach at Point Reyes when I stumbled upon a baby whale (killer whale) that washed upon the shore. Two Women where standing there just looking at it. I was truly confused as to why these women did not attempt to put the whale back into the Ocean. The Ocean was free of oil. I decided to put the whale back into the Ocean so it could be with its family. So I did!

Subject: Small Business Lending
Date: December 21, 2010 To: Chief Executive Officers and Lending Officers of All National Banks, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Description: Small Business Lending Fund Program and Underwriting StandardsThe guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations. Purpose and Background The Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program was created pursuant to the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (act), which directs the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury to make capital investments in eligible financial institutions to address the continuing effects of the financial crisis on small businesses and to increase those businesses access to credit. The act authorizes the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to purchase up to $30 billion in preferred stock and other financial instruments from financial institutions to increase the availability of credit for small businesses. Participation in this program is generally limited to insured depository institutions and bank holding companies with $10 billion or less in total consolidated assets. Application Process National banks that are interested in applying for funds under this program should review the application and program requirements available at Treasury's Web site at http://www.treasury.gov/SBLF. Under the act, an applicant must prepare and provide a small business lending plan in support of its application to participate in the program. Treasury established guidelines on what each lending plan should address. The act stipulates that the lending plan be treated as confidential supervisory information but that it will be shared with Treasury, subject to an information-sharing agreement with the regulator. National banks should submit their applications to Treasury at email@example.com. A copy of the application and the institution's small business lending plan should be sent to the OCC via secure e-mail using the attached instructions. Underwriting Standards for Loans Made Under the SBLF Program In support of this act, the federal banking agencies are required to issue guidance regarding prudent underwriting standards for small business loans that participating institutions make with SBLF funds. The interagency standards for SBLF loans are attached. Additional Information For general questions or comments regarding the Small Business Lending Fund, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. For questions about your bank's participation in the SBLF program, please contact your supervisory office or Timothy Ward, Deputy Comptroller for Thrift Supervision, at (202) 874-4468. For information on the underwriting standards, please contact Darrin Benhart, Director for Commercial Credit Risk, at (202) 874-4564. /signed/ Timothy W. Long Related Links |

Changing their name to Baby Killers South?
#1, it looks like they don´t want to provide abortions...that is why they´re breaking away.
I am all for this type of organization as long as it doesn´t provide abortions. Helping women to get regular gyno exams and birth control is not noxious to me. The abortion industry and the way they´ve characterized it as a transcendent, sacred rite is.Good luck to them. I might even send them some money if this is truly what they´re doing. I support this kind of endeavor and it´s annoyed me that the Right to Life movement hasn´t provided much competition for PP in that area.
Not sure how praiseworthy this action is. Looks like they are still going to refer women to the neighborhood abortion mills, they just don´t want to do it (abortions) themselves. I´m thinking it´s more a case of not having the courage of their convictions than of having any better convictions than PP at large.
Profse apoplogies for the double post, but something occurred to me just after I hit the "submit" button. The PP office here doesn´t provide abortions either, but it´s not due to any particularly pure motives. In this town, an abortion clinic--and anybody associated with it--would be VERRRRY unpopular with the majority of the citizenry. PP gets the usual preferential treatment from local authorities, but it is based on their insistence that they do not and will not actually do abortions here. The PP director is a stone baby-killer at heart, she just can´t get away with it here and retain her social prominence. I expect they might try a similar ploy so they can stay in the one-step-removed baby-killing biz.
I think it is similar to the strategy Acorn is using - ´break apart´ - for tactical purposes - so Conservatives can´t destroy the entire corrupt organization, but obtain funding the same way and keep coordinated on advancing the democrat mission of eugenics.
Follow the money. There must be a monetary reason (that is, tax dollars) why they are doing this.
Family Planning and parenthood. This organization has nothing to do with that concept.Perhaps the new stats showing the worms may be turning has scared a few.These new stats indicate now that women have achieved their total control over choices and free services they are more willing to get married. But wait the same percentage of men are now saying I will never marry one of you.You have the sole right to make all becoming parents choices and abort my child so why would I trust you enough to hope you would even let one live after birth.Agendas can turn on you too Flukes.
It´s mind boggling how the abortion business got to be called an industry but that´s simply because it has grown so big.Thanks largely to government funding whether we want it or not.
Bullhockey. For the past 3 years, Sebillius has doled out over $3B to convert PP locations into Family Health Care Centers.. aka future ObamaCare Centers. This is just the 1st to launch.

I waste a lot of time on Pinterest - here are some of my favorites from the last week or so. Click the image for the original source.
This looks like my favorite time of day in Michigan during the winter. Everything is blue and orange and pink… warm and cold at the same time. It reminds me when I used to get home from class in college, after trudging all the way across campus in the twilight and finally making it back to my warm cozy dorm room.
This is how I picture myself internally. Sort of nerdy but totally a bad ass.
I want one of these cars so so so badly! Too bad I would need to be independently wealthy to afford the gas…
More inspiration for my pixie cut. Once the summer humidity hits, I envision letting it go wild. I hope my wavy hair behaves as beautifully.
I so want a tattoo! I'm scared of the pain but I'm hoping one day soon I will just go for it. I have plans for at least a couple of different tattoos to represent my home (Michigan) and my family, but down the line I'd LOVE to get a sleeve or chest piece that has something to do with my crafting loves.
Pitbulls are so sweet. We're a long way off from a house with a yard (which is the condition for adding another dog to the family) but I hope to have one of these sweeties someday.
Um, my life mantra? Enough said.
Whoops! Two dogs in one post. Clearly I have puppies on the brain. But seriously, look at those ears! How do you resist doggy elephant ears?
Do you Pinterest? Follow me or check back for regular installments of "that's pinteresting"!

Sure Wrestlemania XXVIII is tomorrow, but what about the event after that? Will they announce a Main Event a year early again? Will the Rock show up? What about CM Punk? How about The Streak, is tomorrow truly going to be the end of an era?
This post features a look at nine potential matches for the event next year, sure it's early and about a zillion things can change between now and then, but it's fun to consider, isn't it?
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio and Christian
WWE Tag Team Title Match
It's sort of a shame that Rey and Cara didn't get to have a match at this years Wrestlemania. With both due to return soon, it seems likely that they may just have their big match by Summerslam. After that feud is done, it seems like there is a ton of money that could be made in marketing those two as a tag team. This could help since both of these wrestlers seem injury prone, so maybe their shelf lives could be extended with the two being put together.
Christian and Alberto don't necessarily have a ton of storyline reasons to be together at this point, but they would make a great team in the Jerishow or Awesome Truth variety, and be logical opponents for Rey and Cara.
Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz
Of course, these two are both heels at this point, but there have been rumblings about having either guy turn face for a while, and really why not? All of the best rising stars in the company are heels, so it seems like someone will need to turn face in order to break through, much like Sheamus did this past summer. My money would be on having Ziggler turn, but it could just as easily be Miz. An extended feud between these two could be a ton of fun, and could really go a long way to elevating both men to the top of the card where they clearly belong.
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan
You want to talk about best in the world? We need this match in one way or another, and why not put it on at Wrestlemania? When Bryan first announced that he would cash in at Wrestlemania, this was the only match I wanted to see. But of course plans changed and here we are. These two would put on an absolute clinic in the ring and there an extended feud here would be nothing short of spectacular.
Chris Jericho vs. The Undertaker
This match has been discussed for the last few Wrestlemanias. If this match is really going to happen, it had best happen soon. Jericho is one of the few big names that hasn't been added to The Streak, and it'll be incredibly fresh. Given Jericho's history with both HHH and HBK, he could easily slide into that storyline, which has been running since Wrestlemania XXIV, seamlessly.
United States Title Defended in a Battle Royal!
featuring: Santino Marella, Lord Tensai, Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Big Show, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre, Hunico, Epico, Primo, Drew McIntyre, David Otunga, Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Jinder Mahal, and More!
This match is quite obviously filler, but it would be fun filler if nothing else. I love the idea of Santino Marella holding pulling a Honka-Meter of some sort and being forced to defend the title against everyone in a battle royal. It would be a great way to get some legends involved in a bit of an Old vs. New Type Match.
HBK vs. Triple H
As I said yesterday, I can't help but think that we are going to get a Wrestlemania Match here between these two. It seems like HBK is going to cost HHH the match (probably innocently) and have it go from there. This could very well be announced as early as April 2.
Kharma, Kane and Big Show vs. Kelly Kelly, Brodus Clay and Zack Ryder
Mixed Tag Team Match
This is most certainly filler. I'd love to see Show turn heel, align with Kane and go on a rampage with Kharma. The face team was chosen just to have them all come out to Clay's intro, what's not to love about that?
Randy Orton (c) vs. Wade Barrett vs. Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes
World Heavyweight Title Match
This could very easily be split into two separate matches, but we haven't had a good multi-man match at Wrestlemania in a while, so why the heck not? This year will oddly be Randy Orton's third straight year out of the title picture at Wrestlemania. He has been stellar in the ring this year, and flat out deserves to be closer to the top of the card. All other three men could help make this a great title match, especially since two of them have yet to hold the title, but I imagine that will change soon.
John Cena (c) vs. The Rock
WWE Title Match

I know there is some of you guys out there who got some techstations, so i figured why not make a clubhouse for those of us who has a tech station, made one or bought one and there can ONLY be techstations and something similar here, like a setup laying nekkid on the table, i dont want them ordinary cases. The purpose is to give the other members who dont know what it is, an idea about the concept and ask questions on how to make one, buy one og just get good ideas from other members. So post your testbench/techstation if you got one Sorry if my english sucks, i'm from Denmark + if you've seen a new one or one that is awesome then you better post it
here is mine, and atm i'm doin a HD cage/DVD cage on it and then i gotta find out a good way to mount the PSU
you need a little cable management, dude! here are a few pics of mine: i need to make new though. the mobo carton has been substituted woth another benchcase lately and i got a mount for the cooler, and dont need books anymore EDIT: sorry for the image quality, it was only with cellphone
lol. Most of my stuff is water cooled, and the stuff that isn't has a fan pointed directly at them, so I don't care much about cable management. Can you tell? lol.
Well, my tech station has had a couple of different setups on it i7 and 9800GX2 C2D E6300 and Radeon X300 (Cruncher) back to the i7 and C/F'ed ASUS TOP 4850's
Wow CP those look so neat! Did you do your own cable sleeving on that PSU? If so, I could use some pointers
haha i guess , but its mostly for the looks, not for the "airflow" mmh and i love your rigs dude what do you use to take the pictures with? did a little CM, looks much better now i think got these 2 in the mail yesterday, i got them for 100$ totalt and they only need to be RMA'd and then i got 2 new disc's, a 150gig raptor and a 750 gig seagate
Your Board screams in Pain!! its severly bent, look at the first Picture! your card seems to fall out of its slot,to the right, and to its power connector side, please be careful, als long as you dont have a mount for it... we dont want to see a broken X2 anyway, your cable management looks very neat! now i have to improve mine
its been like that since i got it, maybe thats the reason i got it so cheap, and it still bends even if its not on the techstation. will it be dangerous? i will put on a old mobo tray between Christmas and New years eve i think, yeah i think i did a okay job on that, as far as i could with limited options haha indeed you do:-D the secret is : lots of zipties
$55 Thanks bro. The PSU's are completely untouched. Weird that is you got it like that. I don't think boards stay bent. Anyhow, good job on your tech station Pics are taken with a Olympus E500
its used? then the preuser, has overbent it. my biostar will also be a little bent for life i had to apply the heatkiller, with a buddy sitting against the other side of the rig (15-20kg pressure i would bet). that gave the board a slight curve, but it never hurt the functionality. just be careful, and dont be to rough with it. regarding the zipties, i need to zip a few cables too... i believe i have to buy a few tomorrow thats not much... mine are for free, but dont look too professional
Two of my three rigs are on tech stations. It's so much easier when you switch things out as often as I do. Here they are:
yeah well, as long as it works for me i'm happy with it, it will soon be replaced with something else when i have the money haha if you lived in denmark i coul ship you af few pack of them, my dad in law is an electrician so he got like a gazillion so true, i hate having my main rig in a case, cause if i wanna change the mobo i'd have to screw everything apart, and it does actually takes quite some time in all i think thats the reason i love techs but hey, you got some nice ones, where did you buy them? is it the sunbeam techs? nice how high did you get with it on?

Falcon Str8Men, Volume 4 FSD004
Scene 1
Scene 2
Scene 3
Scene 4
If we could succeed with Weird Science and create our perfect boyfriend - Aaron would be the prime result! Handsome face; beautifully sculpted body, bedroom eyes, killer smile, and a dick to die for. Then we'd mark him with a mole right above his lips where we could start planting kisses and then take it from there to eat him all up.
Like a lot of the other newcomers to this site, Aaron is excited and nervous. He lets us know that he has a girlfriend (Damn!) and he just loves eating her pussy. (Double damn!) Anyway, let's scratch that image out of our minds and concentrate on this studmuffin as he strips down, exposing great washboard abs. He runs his hands across his smooth skin, rubs his chest, grabs his tits, then slides his hand down the front of his pants. He drops his trousers to liberate his already erect cock and he's off to the races. Watching him masturbate is such a treat; he just oozes sex. And then this gorgeous tease rewards us as he shoots thick gobs of goo, i
Scene 5
Alec looks like a hunky version of that tennis ace from Spain, with his tousled hair, roguish look and edible cocky attitude. But instead of wielding a big racquet, our boy wonder has his huge uncut club to bat around. He may not appeal to everyone's taste, but you can't deny the rolling muscles of his gorgeous physique. He quickly strips down and we drown in all his fleshy glory. Bonus points for the close-up shot of his juicy pink asshole!
Anyway, this European jock is back with us to play with a cock pump. Once he's settled, he lubricates the rubbery rim of the cylinder, making it easy for him to slide his oiled-up cock inside. With his engorged tool now stuffed inside, he squeezes the pump. His swollen cock gets bigger and bigger, filling the the plastic tube entirely. The desired result is instantaneous and being totally aroused and ready to blow, Alec pulls the pump off and quickly jerks his throbbing meat, climaxing with explosive spurts of mancream.

Antarctica is an amazing place to study for a number of reasons. It is sometimes referred to as, 'the Frozen Continent' because the greatest percentage of the land is a sheet of ice. In fact, about 98 percent of Antarctica is made up of ice. The climate is extremely cold, dry, and windy. Though no human makes a home in Antarctica, scientists are stationed there to study the environment as well as the animals that live there. Some of the animals that call the region of Antarctica home are seals, whales, penguins, and other types of birds as well as krill oil and other sea life. These animals and plants have special adaptations that allow them to live in the Antarctic climate. The following information introduces more facts about the history, geography, climate, and wildlife inhabitants of this incredible continent.
The history of Antarctica began a long time before any explorers discovered it. In fact, humans didn't explore Antarctica until the nineteenth century. Antarctica was once attached to a continent called Gondwana. When Gondwana broke apart millions of years ago Antarctica found its place at the South Pole. Some of the first individuals to explore Antarctica were James Cook, Roald Edmundson, Robert Falconer Scott, and James Weddell. These courageous explorers risked their lives to learn more about Antarctica and its environment.
The ice sheet of Antarctica measures in at fourteen million square kilometers. It claims the title of the largest span of ice in the world. The small portion of Antarctica that is not covered with ice contains mountains such as the Transantarctic mountain range. Scientists are able to study the rocks found in the dry valleys of Antarctica in order to piece together the continent's geologic history. Frozen lakes can also be found in the dry valleys of Antarctica. There have been discoveries of algae beneath the surfaces of some of these lakes. Volcanoes are also present in Antarctica. Mount Sidley and the active volcano of Mt. Erebus are two examples.
The below freezing temperatures of Antarctica make it a harsh climate for humans. The average temperature in Antarctica is around -50 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter. It may move up to around -20 degrees Fahrenheit in the summertime. Other weather conditions in Antarctica include whiteouts. A whiteout in a blizzard means that the blowing snow prevents any object from casting a shadow and only dark objects may be seen. The seasons in Antarctica are opposite of the seasons in this part of the world. For instance, summer in Antarctica begins in December. In addition, the climate of Antarctica sometimes produces very strong winds.
There are several interesting types of wildlife living in and around Antarctica. The swimming and diving penguins are some of the most recognizable inhabitants of the continent. The Emperor penguin and the Adelie penguin are two great examples. Penguins have a number of predators to watch out for on Antarctica. Leopard seals and Orcas look for penguins to eat. In addition, a marine bird called the skua is known to steal a penguin's chicks or eggs to eat. Aside from the penguins, Antarctica also is home to petrels and albatrosses. There are many seals that live in Antarctica including the Weddell and the Leopard seal. Some of the whales of Antarctica include the blue and killer whale. Krill is also an inhabitant in the Antarctic. Krill are small plankton that are the food source for whales, seals, birds, and other fish. Some of the plant life of Antarctica includes moss, lichen, and fungi. Certain types of algae have been found growing in the lakes of Antarctica. All of the animals and plants that live in or around Antarctica have adapted to existence in the harsh climate of the continent.

Get slithery and sleazy with Slash in the latest edition of "Guitar Strength."
The focus of this lesson will be on ornamentation in Celtic music. Most ornamentations are notated as grace notes. A grace note is performed by playing the note(s) as fast as you can, ending on the target melody note. Grace notes are notated as smaller notes preceding the target note.
In my previous column, we explored how you could visualize four seemingly separate scales as one unified concept. To illustrate this point, I used the major scale to produce the major pentatonic, the natural minor and the minor pentatonic scales. How did I do this? Well, it's all a matter of perspective. Simply by changing the tonal center of the given scale, our ears perceive dramatically different flavors and musical moods.
When I was first getting into the guitar, I played it incessantly. I lived it, breathed it, ate it and slept it. I was also extremely self-critical, so from early on, I made sure to develop good playing habits—I constantly strove to sound in tune and have a great tone, and to play cleanly and in time. But I was also very hard on myself. If I played something incorrectly, I whipped myself mercilessly. Whenever I made a mistake, I made sure that I would never allow myself to repeat it.
In last month's installment of Chop Shop we looked at a classical-flavored run in E minor that incorporated arpeggios, octaves and a simple but cool-sounding octave finger tap. This month we're going to expand upon that approach by again employing arpeggios, this time also bringing in some sweep picking, a sliding finger tap, pinch harmonics and behind-the-nut string bending.
What makes this a little more difficult than usual are the stretches. They require a lot of practice and getting used to. The techniques in this lick are nothing unusual (apart from the over-the-top section) but the techniques, in conjunction with the stretches, become very difficult. So like anything else, be patient and work on it slowly.
When learning how to play jazz guitar, one of the main items we need to tackle is playing effective, jazzy-sounding chords that properly outline the chord changes all at the same time. While this may seem like a tall order, there are some easy-to-play and effective shapes we can learn in order to quickly and effectively outline any tune or progression we are jamming on in the woodshed or on the bandstand.
For many guitarists, the pentatonic scale is the first thing you will learn when developing your lead guitar playing. It's incredibly simple and easy to remember. As musicians develop further, they try to move away from playing pentatonics when soloing by adding notes from outside of the scale to break out of the regular shapes or by playing different scales altogether.
Being a guitarist involves pushing your boundaries with the instrument. Many players find themselves struggling to develop the physical abilities needed to play like their heroes, and they never settle on a consistent set of exercises because they find themselves drowning in so many different suggestions. In this column, I discuss some essential practice techniques you can work into a simple, short daily routine.
Today, we will continue to work with a scale we covered in my June 2013 column. We will explore that same scale, the Phrygian dominant, in a two-note-per-string sequence. We'll also add a sitar-style bending phrase. The notes of the scale are as follows: E – F - G# - A – B – C – D – E

With the cold and snow this winter, we watched patrons walk out with armfuls of books! Here are few titles we heard rave reviews about:
First to Kill by Andrew Peterson. Hopefully, just the first in what promises to be an exciting new series featuring a former Marine sniper and covert CIA operative.
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Alexander Brown (970.00497 BRO). "Everyone should know more about this part of American history"
The Other Woman by Hank Ryan. A suspenseful mix of mystery and political intrigue.
Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero by Chris Matthews (B Kennedy). Although there are many books about Kennedy, this one is particularly insightful and stirring.
Two patrons told me I had to try Charles Finch's great historical mysteries featuring a "gentleman sleuth" in Victorian England. Be warned, however: They both said they "stayed up all night reading." Start with A Beautiful Blue Death.
The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht. Debut novel with "amazing writing, especially for such a young author."
One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. "So good I want to check it out a second time to refresh my memory."
In Malice, Quite Close by Brandi Lynn Ryder. Try this if you enjoy literary suspense. "Such wonderful writing; I'm sorry it's her first book, I want to read more by her."
Coral Glynn by Peter Cameron. Don't let either the cover image or the romance genre label determine whether you try this hard-to-describe but very enjoyable book.

The higher the plasma level of MR-proADM, the more likely it is that a child with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) will respond to treatment, a new study shows.
The condition is sometimes treated with midodrine hydrochloride, a vasoconstrictor but only about 70% of patients respond to it, and there hasn't been a practical way to predict in advance which patients should receive the drug.
The investigators on the new study say circulating levels of the vasodilator adrenomedullin might provide some clues but "unfortunately, quantifying it is almost impossible, because of its short half life" and other properties.
Instead, they've now found, they can measure plasma levels of the more stable MR-proADM (midregional fragment of pro-adrenomedullin).
"The assessment of plasma MR-proADM, reflective of ADM as a vasoactive agent, in pediatric patients is of great clinical significance in guiding the selection of midodrine hydrochloride therapy in the management of POTS in children," senior researcher Dr. Junbao Du from Peking University First Hospital in Beijing told Reuters Health in an email.
"When the plasma level of MR-proADM is over 61.5 pg/mL, the patients are suitable to take midodrine hydrochloride as a treatment," Dr. Du said.
The study, involving 57 children with POTS and 20 healthy controls, was released online July 23 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Mean plasma levels of MR-proADM were significantly higher in the children with POTS (75.0 vs 58.5 pg/mL; p<0.01).
Twenty-seven of 44 children treated with midodrine hydrochloride responded to therapy. The responders had a significantly higher mean plasma MR-proADM level than nonresponders and untreated patients (76.0 vs 59.0 pg/mL; p<0.05).
A cutoff value for MR-proADM of 61.5 pg/mL was 100% sensitive and 71.6% specific for predicting the effect of midodrine hydrochloride for treating POTS, the research team reports.
"Generally speaking, the main treatments for POTS contain non-drug therapy including health education, upright training, and oral rehydration salts and drug therapy including beta-blocker, alpha-agonists, etc.," Dr. Du said. "As indicated in our results, the POTS children who have a possible underlying mechanism involving excessive vasorelaxation demonstrated by increased plasma ADM level are suitable to take alpha-agonist, such as midodrine hydrochloride, to help vasoconstriction."
"POTS is very common in childhood and adolescence, having symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in association with excessive tachycardia," Dr. Du added. "Patients with POTS experience many difficulties with daily routines such as housework, shopping, eating, and attending work or school. Therefore, physicians should pay greater attention to this disease, in terms of its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment."
In an editorial, Dr. David G. Benditt and Dr. Lin Y. Chen from the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis write, "The concept that vasoactive peptides may contribute to the clinical manifestations of POTS is potentially important. However, whether ADM and possibly other peptides are active players or simply epiphenomenon in these patients will require considerable further study."
"At a minimum," the editorial concludes, "natriuretic peptide concentrations may prove to be potentially useful markers of POTS severity that can be tracked in individual patients as treatments are introduced in an attempt to ameliorate the symptoms of this poorly understood condition."

Gay celebrities: Who is out?
Once it was considered a potentially career-ending acknowledgment, but a growing number of celebrities have come out with relatively little fanfare.
Image 9 of 33
Jonathan Knight, 2011( David Surowiecki / Getty Images )
Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block, far right, came out as gay in 2011 when '80s songstress Tiffany said he was gay on the Bravo TV show "Watch What Happens: Live." Knight responded on the band's website, saying he is proud to be gay and has been open about it for more than 20 years.

Purcell: The Complete Anthems and Services, Vol. 8
Archive Service; also available on CDS44141/51
Download currently discounted
Purcell: The Complete Sacred Music
11CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Purcell set three of Taylors poems, revelling in their vivid language and sentiments and countering their strong texts by adding his own extraordinary harmonic twists and turns. The continuo rhythmically tramp the road to Damascus whilst Saul is belching nought but chains and death: Purcell illustrates the light that blinds him with a series of extraordinarily harmonised melismas on glorious. The inexorable progress of the continuo is briefly halted at On his amazed eyes it night did fling before Saul continues his journey, now converted from a child of wrath to become a vessel full of glory. The setting closes with a prayer that God should curb us in our dark and sinful way, as we down horrid precipices run. Purcell sets down with especial emphasis.

Get Involved! Volunteer!
At KBOO we have a dynamic community of 500 volunteers doing everything from front desk work, janitorial work, community reporting, hosting information booths, clerical support, news writing, documentary making, engineering live music, operating sound boards, engineering and computer help, website upkeep, and many, many other things.
KBOO absolutely depends on volunteers to carry out the work of the station.
Volunteering at KBOO can take many, many paths. We have volunteers who come in to do things a few times each year, and other volunteers who spend 20+ hours each week at the station. Our volunteers range in age from nine years old to more than 80. Our community strives for inclusivity, and includes people of many races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, spiritual paths, economic classes, and political & philosophical schools of thought. Together we make up a thriving multi-cultural community working to create fabulous radio.
For further information about volunteering at KBOO please contact Ani at 503-231-8032 ext. 213, or email her at volunteer[at]kboo[dot]org.
Orientations for new volunteers happen monthly, and are held at KBOO, 20 SE 8th Ave., just 1/2 block south of Burnside.
In general, there is a three step process to being an active volunteer:
1) Attend Volunteer Orientation
2) Talk with the volunteer coordinator to find out about trainings and schedule
3) Complete your first assignment
To volunteer at KBOO you must be able to work collaboratively in a richly diverse, often hectic environment that is committed to non-violence within all levels of the organization.
Depending on your interests and availability, there are a great variety of things to do with KBOO. Some needs have very regular schedules, some are occasional. In general, volunteers write and produce news and public affairs content, mix-live music in studio, keep our website fresh and interesting, help with clerical support, help with outreach and special events, maintain the record library and archives, record lectures, meetings and readings, produce audio graphic arts, staff the front desk, and in many other ways
Currently, our biggest needs are for: live remote broadcast tech help, live music mixologists, audio producers, audio production trainers, clerical support in the membership office, and outreach volunteers to help with special events, and outreach information tables.
We also currently have openings in the following areas:
- Write / edit / produce the news --- shifts available every weekday
- Produce local news reports
- Produce and edit audio
- Write blogs for music and cultural events
- Program assistants
- Web content content editors
- Web volunteers with knowledge of HTML
- Do janitorial work
- Mail out "thank you gifts" to members who requested them
- Staff the KBOO info table at exciting events
- Staff the front desk
- Photograph KBOO events in and outside of the studios
- Record audio away from KBOO -- (create field recordings)
- Help plan special events / benefits
- Serve on advisory committees (open to KBOO members only)
- Engineer or announce live remotes
- Set up & mix live music for on air performances
- Maintain computers
- Help to database our music library
- Upload original archives to internet
- Help with social media outreach
If you have been to volunteer orientation and are interested in any of these roles, contact me to let me know. I will be happy to talk with you about the specific role, any training you need, and the schedule involved.
If you have not yet attended an orientation for new volunteers, contact me (ani) for all of the details to get involved! Call me at 503-231-8032 ext. 213, or via email.
The next volunteer orientation will be held:
Saturday, December 7th, noon - 2 pm
The following orientation will be held:
Wednesday, January 9th, 7 - 9 pm
Contact Ani at 503-231-8032 ext. 213 or via email at volunteer[at]kboo[dot]org to with any questions regarding volunteer orienation or volunteering at KBOO. There is no pre-registration for the volunteer orientation-- just attend if you are able (and bring a pen!).
KBOO offers training in radio production, voice and microphone skills, audio editing, and field recording for volunteers who have attended Volunteer Orientation and commit to volunteering to fill station needs. We ask that you schedule at least 8 hours of volunteerism for each class you take. Contact Ani for more details.
If you've been considering volunteering, NOW IS THE TIME!
What do volunteers do at KBOO?
Volunteers at KBOO are active throughout the station, both on and off of the air. Nearly every show heard on KBOO is produced, recorded, engineered, and broadcast by volunteers.
If you are a volunteer and want to be sure that you are keeping in touch with all of the station news and opportunities, contact Ani, and ask to be added to the volunteer email distribution list.
Call 503-231-8032 ext. 213 to sign up, or email Ani Haines, Volunteer Coordinator, at email@example.com

A tamper is one of those really useful things to have in a potting shed that helps to improve germination rates. All you have to do is tamp the soil, sprinkle with water (from a thumb pot waterer ), sow the seeds then apply a thin layer of compost.The dibber is the perfect size for large seeds and small bulbs.The tamper and dibber are handmade from sustainable oak.The tamper diameter is 6.5cm and the dibber is 14cm long.
My tips for sowing seeds:- The depth of compost covering the seeds should be around twice the size of the seed. Any more and the seedlings will struggle to surface. - Compost is best watered before the seed is sown.- You may think you will remember what is in each pot, or recognise it once it germinates, but you won't. Take time to label what you sow.- Plastic bags work just as well as purpose built germinators, but both need checking regularly. Once the seedlings are an inch high they should be taken out of the bag/germinator.- If you have space in your germinator, use a paper potter to make paper pots. When the seedlings are ready to be potted on or planted out, just pop the paper pot into the ground.

I have always been a bit of a climate change sceptic, and have spent part of my Summer Recess reading James Delingpole's interesting and well-written book 'Watermelons'. He broadly argues that Global Warming is cyclical, and that there is very little evidence that human activity is making it any worse. (I paraphrase his views, but I hope reasonably fairly). So when a friend of mine offered me a chance to visit Spitzbergen to see for myself last month, I jumped at the opportunity.
We visited a multi-national research station called Ny-Ålesund, which is the most northerly permanently inhabited place on the Globe. It was mid-summer, but even so I was surprised to be able to wander round the thirty or so separate research bases in my shirt sleeves. The Fjord was clear of ice, and large cod and herring were being caught further north than ever before. I was shown a hill which within living memory was deep beneath a glacier, and visited for myself the ice fronts falling into the sea before my very eyes. Our guides were meticulous about carrying weapons as a safeguard against Polar Bears (this was where Wiltshire teenager Horatio Chapple was tragically killed by a bear last year). Yet I was told that most of the Polar Bears had retreated north with the ice and would not be troubling us.
So plenty of anecdotal evidence that well into the Arctic Circle, albeit in mid-summer, was much warmer than ever before. And I expected most of the 300 or so scientists we met who were studying climate, glaciers, biodiversity and wildlife and so on would be deeply concerned. The Greenpeace ship anchored in the fjord clearly was. Yet, perhaps because they are cautious scientists, I came away without any real feeling of urgent catastrophe about to befall us. Indeed when I pressed the French scientist who for 30 years had studied one particular glacier which had retreated quite considerably in her lifetime on the subject, she replied with a Gallic shrug "Why do you think they called Greenland Green? Because it was green when the Vikings went there. It takes about 10-15 years to recreate a glacier," she said and she very much hoped that we were simply going through a warm patch!
But I must not overstate my case. There is no doubt whatsoever of significant warming; of a sharp retreat in the Arctic ice and of dramatic changes in wildlife and native peoples' ways of life. There is quite plainly something pretty dramatic happening and I most certainly would not want to belittle it. Surely the precautionary principle must apply. If we take action on CO2 and Global warming turns out to have been a false alarm, then we won't have lost much. Indeed we might even have gained from the imagined crisis since British companies are in the lead in counter-carbon technologies. But if, on the other hand, we do nothing and it turns out to have been for real, then future generations will never forgive us.
It is perfectly true that Greenland would have been green if the Romans had visited it, and again under the Vikings. But it pretty quickly iced up again afterwards. I just very much hope that if I am asked back to Ny-Ålesund ten years from now that I will be able to walk on the ice in the Fjord. If not we have indeed got something to worry about.

All of Tom Brady's TD Passes in 2007 Season
This might be the longest video we've ever posted here on the Deuce. At a whopping 25 minutes, here is every one of Tom Brady's 50 touchdown passes thrown this season. While the Deuce hates feeding the Tom Brady media machine, this is a pretty good, albeit long, video. Sit back and relax, enjoy the show…oh, and Tom Brady can go to hell. There, I feel better. Don't you?
UPDATE: Looks like someone took down that video, so here it is again, only broken up into 3 bite sized parts.
