Applying UNDP's global human development concept at a national level, it examined Lithuania's human development from the widest possible perspective. This approach had advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, critics considered it too descriptive and overloaded with statistics. On the other hand, the report provided a detailed situation analysis... Lithuania - 1996 |

General Human Development Report The Report describes the inherited structures and policies from the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, which it argues are proclaimed, but not factually compatible with the goals of human development, but whose mechanisms and financing requirements proved to make them unsustainable.

Serbia - 1996 |
Human Development Report Habitat and the Living Conditions of the Population The focus of this report, in addition to the presentation of information on standard of living, social development and the economy, is on "habitat", which, for the purposes of this report, means the interaction of the individual with others and with his/her immediate surroundings. This orientation is appropriate since human settlements is the theme of the last major world summit, Habitat II, sponsored by the United Nations. For this reason, much information provided in this year's... Tajikistan - 1996 |

Long Beach, Indiana, Estate of the Day
Today's home introduced me to the small lakeside community of Long Beach, Indiana. The town is a popular vacation spot for those looking for a quick getaway from Chicago, which is an hour away. Today's home is one of the most lavish in the area. It sits right on the water with lake and Chicago skyline views and has 280 ft. of private beach. The four-bedroom home was built back in 1927 with a Mediterranean style that seems more suited for a warm weather location. The home has a great outdoor terrace, wine room, a gym that looks to be tucked into a porch-like space and has had its classic style updated with granite countertops in kitchens and baths and those glass box showers that are currently so popular. The home has retained its beautiful beamed ceilings and original fireplaces. It is listed at $6.24 million.

If you have had any trouble with your back, you will want to do what you can to avoid a recurrence. Although most people with low back pain improve, the pain returns in about 40 percent of these people within six months. Preventing a recurrence is not always possible. Yet you can do a number of things to reduce the chances that your pain will return. There are also several steps that you can take to manage any ongoing pain.
When you're recovering from back pain, it is usually best to avoid doing too much too soon. Start slow, and gradually do more and more. For example, if you are used to walking two miles a day, you may want to start with half a mile after recovering from an episode of low back pain. Although good posture doesn't guarantee a life free of low back pain (and slouching is not the cause of most back pain), improving your posture after back pain may hasten recovery.
In addition, you should consult with your health care provider. There are several important things that your health care provider can do to help keep your back pain-free.
Remember that the best ways to avoid problems with your lower back are to exercise common sense and treat your back well. Be reassured that if you are among the majority of people destined to have low back pain at some point in life, there are safe and reliable ways to improve your discomfort and reduce the chances that your back pain will come back.
If your back pain returns, or it if never went away completely, consider having a follow-up visit with your health care provider for a re-evaluation of the problem. Over time, your health care provider may arrive at a new diagnosis or may try a different treatment until one is found that works well for your particular symptoms.
If you are taking drugs to relieve your back pain, monitoring your use of them to be sure they are safe for you is another important reason to have regular medical care. Your health care provider can help you to discontinue your drugs when they are no longer needed or can reduce the dose to the lowest effective amount.
Monitoring your weight, prescribing an exercise program, recommending referrals to specialists and making sure you have no life-threatening cause of back pain are important ways that your health care provider can help you to keep your back pain-free.

Reviews for Homemade Manicotti(23)
Sort By :
I thought this was very bland. If I ever make again, I would use a more flavorful sauce, and would definitely add some seasoning to the ricotta mixture.
One of our FAVORITE recipes! I do make my own, flavorful sauce for it though, instead of out of a jar.
I will never buy store bought again! I mixed ricotta with mozzerella and parmesean and added spinach to the filling. Simply delicious!
I was in a bind and the store was out of stuffed shells, so I used this recipe instead. Delicious, but I did have to add a lot more milk to the pasta mixture. Everyone was very impressed (I served with homemade meat sauce).
As lovely and fancy as this was, it was so bland I just got bored eating it! I did add plenty of garlic powder and dry Italian seasoning to the filling as recommended by someone else, but it wasn't enough. I hate to say this as I cooked this for a meatless meal, but I'm cooking up a little mild Italian sausage right now to sprinkle over the top to salvage the left-overs!

More Than 30 Million Live Earth Videos Streamed on MSN by 8 Million People -- The Largest Online Audience Ever for an Online Concert. Millions Inspired to "Answer the Call" with Web and SMS Pledges. Approximately One Million People Participated in More Than 10,000 Friends of Live Earth Events in 131 Countries -- the Largest Grassroots Organizing Program in History!More Than 30 Million Live Earth Videos Streamed on MSN by 8 Million People -- The Largest Online Audience Ever for an Online Concert Millions Inspired to "Answer the Call" with Web and SMS Pledges Made in 178 Countries and 35 Territories Approximately One Million People Participated in More Than 10,000 Friends of Live Earth Events in 131 Countries -- the Largest Grassroots Organizing Program in History LOS ANGELES (July 9, 2007) -- Live Earth organizers today announced that the 7-continent, 24 hour music extravaganza on July 7th was the largest global entertainment event in history. "Live Earth rallied an unprecedented audience to take action to tackle the world's paramount challenge -- the climate crisis," Live Earth Founder and Producer Kevin Wall said. "The climate crisis is a global problem that requires a global response -- and that is just what we've received. Live Earth has established a deep foundation for the ongoing campaign that will continue to move people to help solve the climate crisis." "Live Earth is officially the largest global entertainment event in history," Live Earth Partner and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said. "Live Earth is already the largest in history, and the numbers are still coming in." MSN, Live Earth's official online partner, broadcast the entire concert series live and has delivered more than 30 million video streams since the concert series began. More than 15 million video streams were seen during the live coverage by over 8 million people and more than 237,000 people watched the video streaming coverage from MSN simultaneously, the most simultaneous viewers of an online entertainment event. Visitors to MSN enjoyed live programming of all Live Earth concerts and extensive climate change coverage, including the Live Earth short films, detailed information on the issues and how to make a difference, and the opportunity to connect with a global community through Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, and more. MSN expects millions more to enjoy the on-demand video experience, with extensive footage of the Live Earth concerts from every venue, celebrity interviews, backstage footage, easy searching/filtering capabilities for viewing specific songs, artists and much more. Visitors to MSN can continue to learn more about climate change through a wealth of information, tools, and resource; and can continue to Answer the Call by pledging their personal commitment. "July 7, 2007 was the greatest day in the history of MSN. Our Live Earth offering has delivered more than 30 million video streams to over 8 million people around the world, a milestone in online history," said Joanne Bradford, corporate vice president and chief media officer, MSN. "We are beyond thrilled that MSN connected a global audience together for this important issue and invite people to explore the in-depth experience available on MSN, which millions are continuing to enjoy." Live Earth reached its massive audience through an unprecedented media architecture covering television, radio, Internet and wireless channels. Live Earth was broadcast across television networks in more than 100 countries. In the U.S., NBC Universal dedicated all of its domestic networks to Live Earth on July 7 culminating with a Prime Time special that aired on NBC. More than 20 of the world's leading broadcasters including NBC (US), Shanghai Media Group and CTV (China), BBC (UK), Pro Sieben (Germany), TVGLobo (Brazil), Fuji TV and NHK (Japan), South Africa Broadcast Company (South Africa) and Foxtel (Australia) dedicated a combined total of more than 100 channels to Live Earth concert coverage. Live Earth was broadcast via radio channels in more than 130 countries. Through a partnership with Premiere Radio Network, four separate radio broadcast programs at 18 hours each were heard on 200 syndicated stations in the U.S. Both XM and SIRIUS satellite radio devoted 8 channels each to carry all concerts and messaging in its entirety for 60 total hours of music. In addition, World Space satellite radio delivered 22 ½ hours of audio content across Africa, Asia and Europe in 134 countries. Beyond regular concert programming, each partnering radio station carried Live Earth PSAs and promotions to deliver the call to action and encourage listeners to take action. Wall further demonstrated the global reach of the Live Earth message by announcing that millions of personal commitments have been made via the Web and SMS in 178 countries and 35 territories. Live Earth will continue to call on people around the world to commit to make immediate and lasting changes in six key areas of their lives -- at home, at work, while shopping, in their transportation, in their communities and with their governments. Live Earth is offering people simple steps they can take -- like using energy efficient light bulbs and appliances -- and asking people to sign a far-reaching 7-point pledge: * To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth; * To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;" * To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2; * To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation; * To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal; * To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and, * To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century. The names of people who made commitments and signed the pledge through their computers or mobile phones on July 7th were displayed on the Live Earth web site, on the screens at the concerts, and on the global television broadcasts. However, people can continue to make these important commitments and find solutions for the climate crisis at www.liveearth.org or www.liveearthmsn.com. After the announcement of Live Earth in February, people and organizations all over the world asked to host their own events to support the cause, and the "Friends of Live Earth" program was created to support these efforts. More than 10,000 of these events were held in more than 130 countries ranging from gatherings in people's homes to public screenings and music events exceeding tens of thousands of people. These large-scale music events, of which there were hundreds, occurred in international cities such as Zurich, Montreal, Malta, Jakarta and Singapore. While still calculating full attendance totals from around the world, Live Earth organizers estimate that more than 1 million people participated in this groundbreaking global grassroots program. In addition, Wall noted that Live Earth has produced more than 60 short films, 30 PSAs featuring stars like Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz, and a book -- The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook by David de Rothschild -- to serve as lasting media that will echo the Live Earth call to action delivered at the concerts on July 7.
The continued efforts in
The continued efforts in supporting the fight against global warming of Ex-Vice President Gore are commendable. This concert series was among one of the first media coverage related events to actually spark the interest of the public enough to call some to action. Around my workplace and at a nearby Starbucks I have been approached on two occasions and asked "Do you have a minute for the environment?" by young people with clipboards.
Events like this should be done annually so that there is a constant reminder of what is happening and what needs to be done. Otherwise, our children, the next generation will not have much of a future to look forward to...

Also view video on regex by clicking below image.
Regex has been the most popular and easiest way of writing validations. The only big problem with regex has been the cryptic syntax. Developers who are working on projects with complicated validation always refer some kind of cheat sheet to remember the syntaxes and commands.
In this article we will try to understand what regex is and how to remember those cryptic syntaxes easily.
FYI :- This article will use c# language to demonstrate regex implementation , so in case you are using other languages , syntaxes can change accordingly.
You can watch my .NET interview questions and answers videos on various sections like WCF, SilverLight, LINQ, WPF, Design patterns, Entity framework etc.
Regex or regular expression helps us describe complex patterns in texts. Once you have described these patterns you can use them to do searching, replacing, extracting and modifying text data.Below is a simple sample of regex. The first step is to import the namespace for regular expressions.
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
The next thing is to create the regex object with the pattern. The below pattern specifies to search for alphabets between a-z with 10 length.
Regex obj = new Regex("[a-z]{10}");
Finally search the pattern over the data to see if there are matches. In case the pattern is matching the 'IsMatch' will return true.
The best way to remember regex syntax is by remembering three things Bracket, caret and Dollars.
There are 3 types of brackets used in regular expression
Square brackets "["and Curly "{" brackets.
Square brackets specify the character which needs to be matched while curly brackets specify how many characters. "(" for grouping.
We will understand the same as we move ahead in this article.
Caret (^) and dollar sign ($) indicate the pattern to the beginning or end of the string being searched.The two anchors may be combined. For example, ^pqr$ matches only pqr. Any characters after or before it will make the pattern invalid.
Now once you know the above three syntaxes you are ready to write any validation in the world. For instance the below validation shows how the above three entities fit together.
So now using the above 3 commands let's implement some regex validation.
We need to just tweak the first validation with adding a comma and defining the minimum and maximum length inside curly brackets.
Now butting the whole thing together.
In the previous question the regex validator will only validate first 3 characters of the invoice number if it is in small letters. If you put capital letters it will show as invalid. To ensure that the first 3 letters are case insensitive we need to use ^[a-zA-Z]{3} for character validation.
Below is how the complete regex validation looks like.
. [a-z]{1,15}
. (com|org)$
Let check for DD. First DD has a range of 1-29 ( feb) , 1-30 (small months) , 1-31 (long month) .
So for DD 1-9 or 01-09
This allow user to enter value between 1 to 9 or 01 to 09.
Now also adding DD check of 10 to 19
This allows user to enter the value between 01 to 19.
Now adding to above DD check of 20 to 29
This allows user to enter the value between 01 to 29.
Now adding to above DD check of 30 to 31
Finally user can enter value between 01 to 31.
Now for seperator it can be a / , -
[/ . -]
This allows user to seperate date by defining seperator.
Now same applying for MM
This allow user to enter month value between 01 to 12.
Then for a YY
allow user enter the year value between 1900 to 2099.
^([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])[- / .]([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-2])[- / .](1[9][0-9][0-9]|2[0][0-9][0-9])$ for "DD/MM/YYYY"
To get MM/DD/YYYY use the following regex pattern.
^([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-2])[- / .]([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])[- / .](1[9][0-9][0-9]|2[0][0-9][0-9])$
And finally to get YYYY/MM/DD use the following regex pattern.
^(1[9][0-9][0-9]|2[0][0-9][0-9])[- / .]([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-2])[- / .]([1-9]|0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])$
You can also use the below common shortcut commands to shorten your regex validation.

"I'm a Guy With an Engagement Ring Fund"
"I'm a Guy With an Engagement Ring Fund"
We've heard of girls saving up for their wedding dresses way before they even have a man. But a completely single guy stashing money away for an engagement ring? That's unheard of...until now.
By Juan Garcia
Guys with engagement ring funds want to avoid pulling a Joey.
Special Offer
Ten years before he would ever meet and propose to his wife, my longtime friend and former roommate Ian invested in a diamond for a
engagement ring. He was 100 percent single at the time.
His engagement ring fund began when he was 18. Ian's father knew an old German Gemologist and encouraged him to start saving up for a rock. "It's a smart thing to do," his dad said. The idea behind this early investment was simple: He knew a wife would eventually come into his life and diamonds don't really go down in value. Why not get a jump on one of the biggest purchases in life? Inspired by his father's wise words, Ian began putting his pennies away and asked the jeweler to keep an eye out for a quality stone that was well-priced. It wasn't too long before the jeweler located an excellent VS1 precision cut diamond. Basically, the diamond was flawless to the naked eye.
Ian paid several thousands of dollars that he had stashed away and his father fronted him the rest, which he would repaid over time. For an entire decade, the stone and its paperwork laid dormant in a little plastic baggie. It was stashed away inside the seat cushion of an orange 1970s recliner in his fathers hobby room. This was the last place they expected a thief to ever look for diamonds.
When I first heard this, I thought it was highly unusual. I mean, seriously: Why would someone make such an early advance investment, especially when there are no guarantees?
At the time, I had a lot of uncertainty about
finding The One
. I had met a lot of girls while in college, but none who I really wanted to pursue. I thought that I must just be too picky, but now when I look back, I think I just wasn't ready. In the process, I think I've passed up some really good girls and probably disappointed some hearts too. Now 33 years old, I'm starting to understand how Ian felt when he bought that loose rock: I do really want to settle down and get married. When I was younger, I felt that marriage would hold me back and somehow stiffle my sense of adventure. I really just think I was afraid of commitment. But I don't want to "do" life alone anymore. I've realized that life is more fun when you can experience it with someone you love. And as I see all my friends getting married, it hits me that I'm not getting any younger. Everyday that goes by, more and more women are coming off the market...so I better jump in before it's too late.
When a guy realizes what he wants in life, he begins preparing, whether its consciously or subconsciously. It's sort of like what Billy Crystal says in
When Harry Met Sally
, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." With Ian, it was a very conscious choice to begin saving early for his engagement ring. With me, its been more of a subconscious one.
I recognized earlier this year that although I had retirement savings, stocks, and an emergency fund, I had a separate account set up so I could quickly access money for a "life event"
"life event," though? I'd set up a ring fund without even really admitting it to myself.
Call me crazy, but to be honest, knowing that I have been saving makes me feel really good. It solidifies the decision that I ultimately do want a committed relationship. Financially, it's a wise choice. When I'm ready to pop the question, I won't be scrambling for cash. Right now, I'm not in a relationship. But when I do get into one, I won't tell my girl about the ring fund. That's something I'd reveal after my proposal.
Of course, there may be times where you doubt why youre even saving. With Ian, there were moments when he thought his future bride would never arrive. He figured maybe he would end up getting his ear pierced and repurposing the diamond into a flashy earring or a Super Bowl-style ring that he could show off to his buddies. But eventually she arrived in 2009. The girl he had waited for all those years (a fun spirited girl from the east coast) came and
he proposed
to her on Alki Beach overlooking the Seattle skyline. The diamond (his savings) finally served its purpose, and while the stone had been selected several years earlier, he personalized the ring with the perfect setting. It was exactly what she wanted.
I hope I'm not too far behind.
As told to Dara Adeeyo.
What do you think about guys having an engagement ring fund? Smart or stupid?

Stephen Schramm
GREENSBORO - At 7:50 p.m. Sunday, Leslie McDonald couldn't stop laughing.
North Carolina had just blasted Creighton 87-73, earning a spot in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16, and the Tar Heels' joyous locker room was jammed.
Reporters were many rows deep surrounding John Henson, who returned from a sprained wrist to author a commanding 13-point, 10-rebound performance. More reporters swarmed the game's other stars Reggie Bullock, Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes.
The horde around the lockers was so thick it bordered on claustrophobic.
When the Tar Heels' seldom-used reserves emerged from the showers clad in white towels, their lockers were inaccessible. So they waited on the opposite side of the room. There was nowhere else to go.
And McDonald, who's missed the season with a knee injury, was snapping pictures of his still-dripping teammates with his cell phone and cracking himself up.
At that same moment, a few feet away across the hall in the training room, the top-ranked Tar Heels' season was about to be dealt its most gut-wrenching twist.
North Carolina's sophomore point guard Kendall Marshall, the team's unflappable on-court leader and arguably most important piece, was getting X-rays and it wasn't looking good.
A fall on a hard foul by Creighton's Ethan Wragge midway through the second half had fractured the scaphoid bone in his right wrist. Doctors told Marshall and quickly summoned coach Roy Williams, who had just finished chatting with his family in the Greensboro Coliseum's corridors.
Marshall's parents were brought in from the arena.
Doctors filled everyone in. There were tears.
"Once they told me, I took it a little hard," Marshall said. "Once they told my parents, they took it a little hard (too)."
And then came the task of breaking the news.
At 7:56 p.m., Steve Kirschner, the school's Associate Athletics Director for Communications, came into the locker room and ordered all the media out, promising an explanation shortly. A few steps behind him was Williams, his face showing concern.
"We wanted to be sure the team knew before anybody else knew," Kirschner said.
Outside in the hallway, the doors to the training room opened and Marshall's parents quietly slipped out, his father's eyes rimmed in red. Moments later, Marshall shot across the hallway and into the locker room, his gaze cast downward.
"We knew something had happened, we didn't know what it was," Barnes said. "Then when Kendall came in with a big bag of ice on his wrist, we knew something was going down."
Williams told the team that Marshall's wrist was broken and he didn't know if he'd play again this season. He then led the team in a prayer. Marshall did not speak.
At 7:58 p.m., the media was allowed back inside. The shift in the mood was stark.
As reporters rushed to Zeller and Barnes, James Michael McAdoo stared at the carpet.
P.J. Hairston had his head in his hands. A couple feet away, Dexter Strickland, who was another of North Carolina's injury casualties earlier this season, was gesturing to Hairston to pick his chin up.
The interviews were quiet. Barnes looked stunned.
There was talk that Marshall could be ready to play by the time the Tar Heels face Ohio on Friday in St. Louis. But if he can't go, freshman Stilman White likely will carry the weight of the Tar Heels' title hopes.
In the now quiet showers, away from the hushed interviews, Marshall talked with North Carolina's assistant coaches. When he finally emerged, his thoughts collected, he, too, took his turn answering questions, cracking jokes with red eyes.
At 8:10 p.m., the locker room was closed. The media filed out with a story vastly different than the one it walked in with.

Google nixes facial recognition in Glass for now
In a move that might make some privacy advocates breathe a sigh of relief, Google said late Friday that it won't be approving facial recognition capabilities in software meant for its high-tech Glass specs.
"As Google has said for several years, we won't add facial recognition features to our products without having strong privacy protections in place," the company said in a post to the Google+ page for Project Glass. "With that in mind, we won't be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time."… Read more

Thousands ready for Basingstoke's Octoberfest
5:00pm Wednesday 10th October 2012 in News By Helen Morton
THOUSANDS of visitors are expected to flock to Basingstoke for the fourth Hampshire OctoberFest.
Organisers of the annual event are expecting record numbers to attend the event, which starts on Friday with a Works Night Out evening.
Milestones Museum will host the festival which will feature a wide range of Hampshire's finest real ales, beers, ciders and food.
There will also be plenty of family activities in the museum and adjacent grounds, with a full programme of demonstrations and exhibitions.
Visitors on Saturday and Sunday will be able to see a magician, try their hand at circus skills, enjoy a mini steam fair, admire a collection of vintage vehicles, watch ferret racing, take part in Britain's most powerful hands competition, and much more.
Friday's Works Night Out evening, which runs from 6pm until 11pm, will feature a hog roast, real ales and live music through the evening.
Ian Smith, director of development at Hampshire Museums and Galleries Trust, said it is expected that up to 10,000 visitors will attend over the weekend.
He added advance ticket sales this year are double those in 2011, describing it as "a clear indicator that it is going to be a busy weekend for all".
Tickets have been ordered from as far away as Inverness, Bedford, Birmingham and Cornwall.
Mr Smith said: "The entertainment line up is the best yet. All the signs are that we will welcome between 8,000 and 10,000 visitors this year. Staffing levels have been increased around the site, including in the beer tent."
Tickets are £6.50 for the Friday Works Night Out and Saturday evening only. The Saturday all- day/evening ticket and the day ticket for Sunday each cost £8.50.
Tickets for children between five and 15 are £5 for Saturday and Sunday, but they are not allowed in the beer marquee after 9pm.

Interviewing Public Policy Polling on Twitter
The left-leaning company does lots of polling in New Mexico and gets hammered by Republicans frequently. I decided to ask about its methodology and funding to better understand the company and its work.
Every time the left-leaning Public Policy Polling comes out with a new survey in New Mexico, Republicans pounce – and the criticism isn't unique to the Land of Enchantment.
The last time I wrote about the controversy, the state GOP accused PPP of perpetuating polling fraud by including "more Democrat voters in their approval polls than is representative of the state."
Another time, national Republicans jumped into the fray. The polling company's Tom Jensen has defended its work in part by pointing to past surveys in New Mexico and elsewhere that were "pretty darn accurate."
The debate is not insignificant. PPP is doing more publicly released polling in New Mexico than anyone else these days.
Anyway, the company released a new poll of the New Mexico Senate race on Tuesday that showed little change since the last survey. I noticed that this one had higher percentages of women and Hispanics but fewer Democrats than the last. It's not uncommon for their demographics to change like that from poll to poll.
So I decided to question PPP about it on Twitter. Here are the highlights:
@haussamen we don't weight for party at all, for gender and race we weight to a range, depends on the response for that individual poll
— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) April 24, 2012
Darren White, a prominent Republican, also responded to my initial question:
@haussamen Because @PPP must adjust the demos everytime to produce their desired outcomes. Spin, baby, spin!
— Darren White (@darrenPwhite) April 24, 2012
More discussion:
@haussamen generally 35-40 pct are going to be Hispanic and 51-55 pct are going to be women…but we don't predetermine an exact number
— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) April 24, 2012
@haussamen there are as many weighting strategies as there are polling companies
— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) April 24, 2012
I asked about how PPP is funded as well:
@hhaussamen it was an independent poll. We do several of those a week on our own for the public interest
— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) April 25, 2012
@haussamen We are a very successful commercial business. tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/08/just-a… npr.org/2012/03/16/148…
— PublicPolicyPolling (@ppppolls) April 25, 2012
Brian Walsh, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, inserted his opinion into the discussion:
@haussamen Heath, @ppppolls is a Dem firm funded in large part by SEIU. The idea that their polls are "independent" is laughable.
— Brian Walsh (@brianjameswalsh) April 25, 2012
Of course, my last question was directed at PPP. Their response was, simply, "correct."
You can learn more about PPP from Wikipedia. You can read the company's explanation of its methodology here.

Peter Shields Inn
Online Reservations
We visited for my husband's birthday. Wonderful in every way, a beautiful, well kept old mansion. We dined on the porch with ocean view. Had delicious appetizers of corn soup & salad with hazelnuts. The chicken & halibut entrees were perfectly moist and served nicely hot. Desserts ... awesome. Wait staff ...excellent...service was very pampering. Perfect ambiance, romance & live piano music. We will go back. Quite pleased that it is BYOB, one does not often find that in restaurants of this high end quality. The early tasting menu and BYOB aspect made it quite reasonably priced too! I highly recommend this restaurant. Next time, I will plan on extra time to enjoy the front porch with its charming, comfy furnishings..
Went for birthday celebration. Although it is BYOB, they do offer bottled wine so we decided to sample the Cape May Riesling which was very good. The crabmet appetizer was delicious and the waitresses suggestion of the halibut was spot on. Will definitely return.
The new owners who took over 3 years ago have done a beautiful job updating this restaurant, from the decor to the food. Service was attentive even on a very busy, pre-wedding Friday night at the inn. The Halibut dish with leeks, chanterelles and chive potato gnocchi was fantastic and even their simple roasted chicken was surprisingly good. Dessert is worth saving room for too - get the fig pudding; it's worth every calorie.
I can honestly say I have NEVER had a bad meal at this place - my favorite by FAR!
Our second visit this year was a much better experience overall in all categories, except one(see below). Our server was friendly, helpful, and experienced. Our meals were very good. My hangar steak with shrimp was perfectly cooked, just not my favorite cut of beef. my wife also enjoyed her choice off the regular menu. We did skip dessert as we had no room left. My negative was the lack of music on the porch(a door was constantly being closed.) Live piano dinner music inside. Worth a visit!
From the moment you walk in you will be impressed. The staff is top notch across the board, especially the Chef. The food is amazing and very well thought out. Excellent job in pairing foods together and not over done. You will want to try this place. It is a BYOB so grab a bottle and prepare yourself for an excellent dinner. GOOD JOB PSI, we will be back. We were there on a saturday night and everything we had was perfectly prepared.
Always a hit this restaurant offers fine dining, top notch service and a million dollar view.
We visited Peter Shields many years ago and wouldn't have considered going back - except we read the recent reviews on OpenTable. We were more than pleasantly surprised. Each menu item was thoroughly thought out and served with a unique set of accompaniments. Great job, PSI!
We dine at the Peter Shields Inn each time we visit Cape May. It has become our favorite. The food and service are excellent. The view is amazing. I have recommended this restaurant to others and they feel the same way!
You must come and see for yourself the beautiful views only to be outdone by the wonderful service and food.
Cain't say enough about this Gem .Stat here play here eat here.Wounderful
I wish I lived closer, so I could dine here once a week. The food here is amazing. I ate here years ago and it was just OK, they have a new chef now...who really knows what he is doing. If you are in Cape May please try it.
My wife and I had a lovely dinner. The food was excellent. The setting was a well-maintained victorian manor. If you enjoy wine with your dinner, it is BYOB or they will sell you wine from local wineries. There is no wine list to ponder. We wish Open Table indicated that when we made our reservation.
The meal was well prepared and quite tasty. The seared scallops were perfect. Local winery wine is available at a premium, you would be better off bringing a good bottle with you.
first off, i find it very strange that a restaurant would only supply wine from one vinard. second, this is a beach resort, I don't understand why they have a buisness dress code. they appear to be a bit picky about that. I suggest they put what is and isn't allowed to be worn, and write in big letters that it is BYOB. Food is good, but not excellent.
Simply the best at the shore. No question. Ask for Peter.
Had a very delicious meal when we visited Cape May this past weekend. The view of the beach was great. The food and sevice were super. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Had high expectations for this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Food was excellent, lovely setting and attentive service. Will return.
This charming inn located beach side in Cape May is the most romantic way to spend your evening. The food is excellent; I have visited almost every restaurant available in Cape May and this Chef beats every venue hands down. The service is professional, courteous and unobtrusive. The venue offers outside sitting, but you'll be glad you stayed in by the fireplace on cold, rainy nights. This is an excellent venue for romantic, quiet evenings. Please note there is a dress code since this is a more elegant place than the pizzeria down the street.
Besides the lovely atomosphere, the food was just as good. Started with Tuna Tartare, which was excellent, and the tossed salad which was great as well. I ordered the chicken breast which was supurb, except the mashed potatoes were a bit on the salty side, other wise I have no complaints, my husband order the halibut, which he enjoyed as well. We will be back, on our next trip to Cape May.
We happened to dine at the restaurant during several fire drills! Despite the noise and activity, they gave us 10% off our bill which was very thoughtful (especially since we spent a lot of money!) We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and enjoyed everything about this wonderful restaurant. Our waiter was wonderful, the food was AMAZING and the 10% discount for the "trouble" was a nice touch. We will be back!
My husband and I have been coming here for years and have never had a complaint. In fact we look for opportunities to come back.
Really enjoyed our dinner at Peter Shields Inn. The tables are far enough apart and the noise levels so well managed that there is a pleasant buzz when the main room is full, but conversations at other tables are not audible. The evening we were there, the music was provided by an excellent live piano player. Food was excellent. We were able to bring our own carefully-selected wine. The service was great. The room is excellent and the sea view terrific The early-dining set menu was high quality.
great food with fantastic ambience. first time. will be back.
I was looking for a good restaurant for dinner to celebrate our 31st anniversary. Last year we took a trip to Disney World and went over to Emeril's restaurant at Universal Studios - big waste of time and money! This year, however, I found the right place. Peter Shield's Inn has everything. If there is any criticism it would be that there is not an open bar. You can bring your own wine or purchase a bottle from the restaurant. We chose a Riesling from Cape May Winery and were very pleased!
Innovative flavor combinations - the tuna tartare is outstanding - and the freshest ingredients. Best high end dining in Cape May. Highly recommend.
This was our first visit to Peter Shields, we had scoped the Inn out during the afternoon and were very impressed with the exterior however, when we arrived for dinner, we were a bit disappointed with the restaurant, guess we had expected something a bit more romantic. We were seated right near the door to the porch and the staff used the computer right behind us to place orders, get set ups etc. Our meal was delicious but we didn't think the service was up to par, perhaps because it is "off season". Felt it was a bit pricey taking into consideration the total experience
As always, from appetizers to dessert our meal earned rave reviews from all four diners. Such a comfortable experience to return to whenever we visit Cape May!
the most amazing experience enhanced by magnificent piano ambience music
Food was absolutely delicious. Great service and ambience made the dining expierence extra special. Will definately return to the wonderful restaurant..
Loved it... a real meal in a beach town. Who knew? Our server Chris was a professional who guided us through a wonderful dining experience. We were unaware that PSI is a BYOB and he set us up with a bottle of local wine. (it was OK but the fact that they had it was EXCELLENT). Ditch the crab shacks and go to PSI.
Efficient staff Recommend BYOB Butternut squash soup was creamy and served at a perfect temperature Duck breast was the best I have ever been served at a restaurant Bread pudding (can't remember specific kind) served with homemade maple ice cream was perfect ending for the meal Absolutely recommend for a special occasion, for us, it was our anniversay
Food is delicious, service is great, piano player is awesome. Highly recommend the PSI!
An absolutely spectacular restaurant. Amazing food and perfect service (ask for Peter). Not "the Shore" but a world class restaurant at the Shore.
Even though it was off season, there was attention to every detail. Romantic and urban cool. The food was amazing. It is BYOB or you can purchase a bottle of wine from Cape May Winery. Perfect!
The service was also good however the experience was overshadowed by the VERY high Noise Level! It basically ruined the evening for us.. VERY Disappointed with our evening!
We had an unexpectedly wonderful experience on a weekend visit to south jersey. Fromm the service to food quality to the ambiance we could not have been happier. A great touch in this historic inn was the live piano player. The variety of dishes made this great for the whole party.
First time we've seen venison on the menu, and it was superbly done! As pretty as always on a warm fall evening.
Great place, unique setting and perfect special occasion spot.
As if staying in a beautiful Victorian mansion were not enough, the restaurant was more than we expected. The food was exceptional, the service was good, and the ambience excellent. I was wowed by the on-the-half-shell presentation of local oysters. The chef's "surf and turf" was tasty and done to perfection. The in-house home-made ice-cream was literally and figuratively a show stopper. Would recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting to celebrate a special and memorable occasion. If you're within thirty to forty miles of Cape May, take the drive for the restaurant alone.
This 1907 Georgian Revival mansion, now a B&B and restaurant, has a more formal feel than the old Victorian homes and cottages common in Cape May, NJ. Food preparation, presentation and service were outstanding. Their homemade ice cream was to die for. You can see the ocean from an enclosed porch with large windows and archways into the interior rooms, which also provide a view and sadly a draft in cold weather. The background music was up-tempo jazz more conducive to drinking than dining. Contractors monopolized the local parking with their trucks and construction along the street. The Inn's parking lot is reserved for B&B guests only, so we had to hike to the front entrance. Should be gone by summer. We'll be back. BTW its BYO.
We always enjoy out dining experience at Peter Shields Inn and drove from Philadelphia for dinner.
The food was outstanding. Best chicken I've ever had.
Our family had thanksgiving dinner there and we really enjoyed the food, my children said that there could have been a little more hence the 4 stars but the food overall was excellent as was the service
The Peter Shields Inn is beautiful, romantic and the meal--superb.
We have visited this restaurant before and it has always been an great dining experience. My wife and I wanted a romantic quiet restaurant for Thanksgiving which proved to be perfect. The live piano player added a really nice touch.
My wife and I were intrigued by the notion of Cape May in the off-season. On an earlier day trip, we'd parked near the Peter Shields Inn and had been impressed by the menu. So when planning a Thanksgiving getaway, we decided to pass up airport congestion and take the two-hour drive. We holed up at a nearby hotel, so we had only a brief walk. Dinner was terrific. The apps were good, the entrees better, and the dessert superb. My turkey was served with delicious gravy and dressing; my wife's monkfish was equally good. Our server, Kim, was also outstanding, keeping track of our wine consumption (it's BYO, though Cape May wines are available for purchase by the bottle), pacing the meal perfectly. Gorgeous sunset, the beach, wonderful day.
We are big fans of the Peter Shields Inn all year round, but were excited to get to experience one of their holiday menus. The chef never disappoints, offering a variety of dishes that are always as inspired as they are delicious. I started with tuna crudo, while my husband had arancini made with duck confit. Both were fabulous! Keeping with the spirit of the day, I had to go for the turkey ... Which, for a traditional dish, was still beautifully presented. My husband had monkfish wrapped in bacon which was out of this world! Our desserts - A tasty pumpkin mousse and my favorite, the warm English date pudding. So good! Thank you PSI for providing us with a fabulous fine-dining experience, even on a busy holiday! We can't wait to return!
incredible food and service...incredible pianist who sets the perfect mood
This was our first time at PSI and I can't say enough great things about it. The chef is awesome and cooked everything to perfection. We had foie gras for the first course and the halibut and venison for the second course. Just cooked to perfection. There was a pianist playing the whole time which was beautiful and romantic. Additionally, our waitress was great and we were treated like we were in a fine dining restaurant from start to end. I'd come back here again!

yeah recover quick and rest well jean...we'll wait
ok, back guys.... as promised... a long update
************************************************** ********
Xiang Shaolong realized that Zhichun is actually one of the 2 concubines he brought with him from Zhao.
That warrior came to the stairs and came face to face with Xiang Shaolong and he cried out, Ah! It turned out to be the other expert family warrior who is of the same status as Pu Bu, Liu Chao.
Xiang Shaolong was about to throw out his flying needle but hurriedly stopped when he saw it was him.
Zhichuns voice called out, Liu Chao! Whats the matter.
Liu Chao collected his thoughts and after exchanging a look with Xiang Shaolong, replied, Nothing! I just happen to see a rat scurry past and was surprised.
Women are most afraid of small animals like these and Zhichun is no exception so she called out, Prince is hungry and Xiaoying and the rest are already asleep. Can I trouble you to go to the kitchen and get them to prepare some food. After saying this she ran back into the room as if shes running for her life.
Liu Chao came up and whispered, We were just talking about Commander. Why is Commander here, is there anyway we can help.
Xiang Shaolong made up his mind and told him about stealing the Secret Manual.
Liu Chao saw that Xiang Shaolong puts so much trust in him and replied happily, Commander please wait for a moment!
He went back and after informing the other 3 warriors, he asked Xiang Shaolong to come out.
Xiang Shaolong instructed one of them to go to the kitchen and order some food, then he searched the hall carefully first, followed by the rooms. He found the secret entrance to the tunnel under a rug.
Liu Chao said, Commander, put your mind at ease and go down! Well keep a look out for you!
Xiang Shaolong had an idea, Its best that you go down with me, if theres a need you can put it back in its original position.
Liu Chao gladly agreed and together they grabbed the copper rings and lifted up the stone slab and after walking down 10 odd flights of stone steps, came to the secret tunnel. One side of the tunnel leads towards Prince Xinlings inner hall while the other end leads to the back of the mountain. Obviously its a secret tunnel that can give safe passage to escape from Prince Xinlings residence because no one will expect that there will be an escape route at that dangerous mountain.
Liu Chao took a lantern and after illuminating the tunnel, the two of them walked towards the direction of Prince Xinlings bedroom.
When they came to another set of stone stairs which led up, Xiang Shaolong stopped and carefully scrutinized and knocked on the walls of the tunnel and realized that theres something different about one of the walls.
The two of them tried pushing but the wall did not move at all.
Xiang Shaolong had an idea, and started inspecting each brick and realized that one of them is slightly protruding. He tried pulling it with his strength and the brick came out immediately, revealing the keyhole inside.
The 2 of them were overjoyed and Xiang Shaolong took out his tools for picking locks and following Lady Yas instructions, opened the lock in no time at all.
When they pushed open the door and under the illumination from the lantern, the both of them were stunned. It turned out to be a treasure trove.
In the large underground stone room there were more than 10 chests of jewelry and money. They opened 2 of the chests and under the reflection of the lamp, the jade pieces, gold and silver all glittered and blinded.
Xiang Shaolong said quietly, Dont let the other 3 know about this until we have a plan to leave Daliang, then well take a few pieces for our traveling expenses. Remember you must not have thoughts of greed. Men have died for wealth and we could even lose our lives.
Liu Chao is indeed a heroic man and after this reminder, he replied sincerely, Well spoken, Commander! I understand. At the same time he felt growing respect for Xiang Shaolong as a person who is not easily moved by money.
Xiang Shaolong searched quickly and after some time he managed to find an even more secluded secret compartment at the corner of the wall and took out a rectangular metal box. He opened it, and indeed it is the Lu Gongs Secret Manual which was tightly wrapped in cloth that will prevent it from rot or moisture.
He unrolled the scroll for a look and was relieved, because the silk on the drawings were so old its turned yellow and its more than 30 meters long. Its so thick and heavy that even if hes Prince Xinling, he wont be bothered to check the scroll from start to end every time. Therefore his plan is sure to work.
He took a closer look and saw that was full of drawings of various tools for attack and defense, with detailed instructions on materials used, the quantity needed and the process of making it. Its indeed breathtaking.
Theres not much time left so the 2 of them left hurriedly.
When Xiang Shaolong woke up, Lady Ya and the 8 maids were still hard at work. The sun is not yet up.
Lady Ya has already bounded the fake scroll with a section of the real scroll, and used some minerals and colorings to stair the sides of the scroll yellow. It looked so authentic, no wonder shes an expert in duplication.
Xiang Shaolong only had to work under the cover of night and take the Secret Manual which only has the authentic front section, and easily slip it back into the secret room. This should be a very difficult task but because of Liu Chaos help, it became an easy job.
When he returned to Lady Yas place, the sky is slowly brightening. Lady Ya and the rest were exhausted and were resting on the bed.
Xiang Shaolong hugged her and slept for a while until Prince Xinling sent someone to look for him. He hurriedly washed up and left.
Prince Xinling seems like he had not slept the whole night. Maybe hes trying to pretend to be on close terms because he received him in the side hall of the inner chambers. After they were seated he laughed and said, Because of your matter, I did not sleep the whole of last night and I finally found an appropriate arrangement.
Right at this time a pretty maid came in to serve tea and Prince Xinling ordered, I have things to discuss with Commander, no one is allowed to step in here!
The pretty maid acknowledged the order and left.
Prince Xinling asked in passing, Did you manage to stir the interest of Yanran last night, I heard Lord Longyang and Xiao Weimou went to the feast as well.
Xiang Shaolong sighed, Dont talk about it! Theres no way I can butt in a word at such a gathering!
Prince Xinling disagreed, Thats not true, your ideas is very creative, even Tan Bang admires you!
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself, whats the use of admiring me when youre still sacrificing me as a stepping-stone towards your success.
Prince Xinling saw that he was quiet and asked, Has Shaolong taken breakfast?
Xiang Shaolong rubbed his stomach and shook his head.
Prince Xinling cried out, Attendants! Then he slapped his own forehead and sighed, Im really muddleheaded, I just chased everyone away. You sit here for a while, Ill go and instruct someone to bring breakfast. He stood up and left.
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and jumped up, firstly aiming towards that inner room, the one that looks like an office that was filled with scrolls and such. At the side there is a side door and outside there is a huge open-aired well and behind the well there is a place, which looks like a pool for bathing.
Theres not much time so he pushed open the side door and indeed it is Prince Xinlings bedroom. He took a hurried look so naturally he cannot find the entrance to the underground tunnel.
He walked forward hurriedly and lifted up the rug on the bed for a look. The entrance to the secret tunnel appeared before him. The strange thing is that there is a copper pipe poking out from the ground towards the bed, and the other end is a dragons head made of copper, looking like as exquisite design on the head of the bed.
Xiang Shaolong immediately felt cold sweat and hurriedly returned to the hall. Prince Xinling came back right at this time and was smiling, Breakfast will be served shortly, come! Let me tell you my plan!
But what Xiang Shaolong was thinking about was that copper pipe, its obviously a listening device for the tunnel and the secret chamber. Noises from in there will travel through the pipe to Prince Xinlings bed and the design was intricate. Luckily he did not sleep last night, thats why he did not hear him moving around.
Prince Xinling said, I will order someone to fake a document and will send it to his Majesty today to let Zhao Ya and the rest of the entourage return to Zhao, leaving only you and Zhao Qian. Zhao Ya is my invited guest, so Lord Longyang has no right to object.
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself, you can say all you want now, with your power, letting them go is an easy task. At the same time he knows that the fact is he will not let a single person leave, but hes just putting on a show. He pretended to be ecstatic, Thats really great, but can we let them leave earlier?
Prince Xinling first revealed a look of difficulty before saying, If I cant even do such a small thing, Shaolong will surely belittle me. All right! I will arrange for Lady Ya and the rest to leave the city this afternoon and meet up with your troops before departing immediately. Shaolong need not worry.
Xiang Shaolong was secretly laughing to himself as he asked, How do we solve Zhao Qians problem then?
Prince Xinling replied, I will send someone to impersonate as her so that you can send her to the palace, then Ill find a secret place to hide her. I, Prince Xinling, vow to Heaven that regardless if the plan fails or succeeds, I will send her safely back to Zhao unharmed.
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought him formidable, as this would mean he has a hostage in his hands and need not fear Xiang Shaolong not following his instructions. Even if he fails and is captured, he would not dare to reveal the mastermind. He has indeed thought of everything.
Breakfast arrived.
As Prince Xinling watched him eat, he asked with a smile, Is Shaolong pleased with these arrangements?
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be extremely grateful, Very pleased, I will certainly not let you down!
Prince Xinling looked as if hes already succeeded and laughed heartily. He saw that Xiang Shaolong has no objections to him holding Zhao Qian and thought that he trusts him implicitly, so his suspicions towards Xiang Shaolong totally disseminated.
Just as the both of them are thinking their own thoughts, a servant came to report that Ji Yanran has come to look for Xiang Shaolong.
The 2 of them were equally stunned. That Ji Yanran would come personally to a mans place to look for him, this is indeed the strangest thing that can happen in the world.

to continue....
************************************************** *****
A strong look of jealousy radiated from Prince Xinlings eyes and he tried to cover it up with a dry cough and said, Shaolong you better go and see her! For all you know shes taken a liking to you!
However Xiang Shaolong was furrowing his brows instead. He has a lot of things to be done today and they are all important matters regarding life and death. No matter how attractive Ji Yanran is, he cannot waste time on her.
As he was thinking, he followed the servant to the hall in the outer chambers.
Ji Yanran was wearing a white fur cape, standing quietly and delicately in front of a large window looking at the beautiful scenery of the woods outside. She did not even have a maid with her.
There was no one else in the hall but all the back doors and side doors were filled with guards and maids who were squeezing there to steal a look at her. Obviously her attraction is akin to a superstar in the entertainment industry in the 21st century. Luckily theres no such thing as autographs in this era, or else her pretty hands will have to be kept busy.
Xiang Shaolong came up behind her and said quietly, Miss Ji!
Ji Yanran turned around prettily and smiled sweetly at him, Can you spare some time?
Looking at her smiling face, Xiang Shaolong does not have the heart to reject her, so he nodded, If its just a while, theres no problem.
When Ji Yanran heard that its only a while, she stared at him with sadness and anger before saying quietly, Then follow me! And walked towards the main door.
Xiang Shaolong was feeling perplexed, where is this beauty going to take him?
The horse carriage left Prince Xinlings residence by the main door and rode towards the east. Xiang Shaolong stole a look at her pretty side view, devoid of all cosmetics, radiating with the glow of youth. Her dainty body was fragrant, extremely captivating.
Ji Yanran suddenly said, Absolute power will only result in absolute disintegration. This is the first time Yanran has heard such intelligent words that goes straight to the point. Mister is really brave. After you left last night, everyone, including Yanran, lost the mood to talk. Yanran has not slept the whole night, and kept on thinking about every word that Mister has said, and thinking of how confident you look when you said these words.
Xiang Shaolong secretly lamented that he didnt mean for things to turn out like this. There is no time to talk to her about love and relationships.
Ji Yanrans face turned cold and she asked, Why did Mister Xiang come with Prince Xinling to see Yanran?
Xiang Shaolong very much wanted to say this is Prince Xinlings arrangement and hes got nothing to do with it. But how can he bear to hurt this great beauty so he sighed, Does Miss Ji ask this question to all your guests who come due to your fame?
Ji Yanran sighed quietly and said gently, Mister Xiang is the first person that Yanran wants to ask this question to. Tell me truthfully, do I make you irritated, thats why youre always in such a hurry to leave and now youre thinking of how to leave this carriage?
She rolled her eyes at him and continued, Ive never seen someone as unfathomable as you, keeping all your words inside you and only revealing some knowledge only when forced to the wall. How Yanran wish we can talk into the night, letting our words flow freely!
Xiang Shaolong was relieved to see that she has not fallen in love with him, but just curious and would like to find out more about his ideas. Of course, if he were to launch an attack now and recite a few theories from the 21st century to make her happy, he may very well be able to get her heart. He can only lament that he has the intention but not the ability to carry this out, for he has to quickly make contact with Wu Zhuo and Pu Bu to arrange the urgent task of escaping from Daliang.
The carriage stopped.
Xiang Shaolong looked out the window in surprise. They have come to an empty space in the woods and there was no one around at all.
Ji Yanran extended her fair hands and lightly pushed his shoulder, a look of excitement in her eyes as she said, If you dont find Yanran too irritating, then please get off the carriage!
Xiang Shaolong was all the more perplexed, what has finding her an irritant got to do with leaving the carriage?
Due to her urging, he went down the carriage in a daze.
Ji Yanran told the burly man who drives the carriage, Go somewhere far away, you can only come back an hour later.
After the man obeyed his orders, Ji Yanran removed her white fur coat, revealing the warriors outfit underneath. For a moment Xiang Shaolongs eyes shone, looking dumbfounded at the outline of her body and her imposing air.
Ji Yanran drew the sword at her waist and said with a coy smile, Xiang Shaolong! I am here on his Majestys order to kill you, get ready!
Xiang Shaolong was shocked, Miss must be joking!
Ji Yanrans face was icy, her eyes sharp and she humphed daintily, Who is joking with you? Look out!
Xiang Shaolong saw a flash of sword in front of him and dared not hesitate so he pulled his sword out as well. With a dang! he blocked this beautys forceful attack. He can feel that his opponents attack is strong and she does not lose out to men in arm strength at all but what shocked him further is that his opponents sword seems to have stuck to his which made it difficult for him to execute his sword moves.
************************************************** *******
i bet she wasnt sent by his majesty.. i bet its just a way to force him by putting him against the wall to test his sword skills..
I hope you are feeling heaps better, Jean. I'm sure all readers care more about your health than the updates, so get plenty of rest.
With all that said, I'm loving the suspense. Was Lady Ji #1 or #2 fighter in Wei ? I forget ...
Nice one Jean, I knew a while ago that you would stop at this juncture.
You are such a tease Jean.
Magnetic sword? If only XSL was using his wooden sword.
I think it's just sensitivity in higher martial arts where one keeps contact and reads the opponent.
now it is nice to read that there is some one who can fight XSL and dint get attracted to him till now ......... but who knows? he is the Hero...
This is exciting! I wonder how our hero will be able to get out of this...
Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick but I just want to note here that "Absolute power results in absolute disintegration" is probably from the phrase "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Shishka Lebanese Grill
Online Reservations
Perfect to go with a pack of friends for some food and drinks.
Amazing food and service. This is a family owned restaurant located in an outdoor area of a local mall. As such, the ambiance is more functional than enticing. But the food will bring you back again. Our group of 6 shared appetizers and had a broad variety of entrees, which of course had to be shared because they were all so good. Our server educated us on the recipes including the spices used. All of her suggestions were hits. Don't miss the baklava and Lebanese coffee for dessert.
We had a fantastic experience ! We felt as we were at home having dinner , that's how the ambience was.The food was great , and the service was outstanding . If you are in the area you need to try this restaurant !
My girly and I love to eat food from all over. We are citizens of the foodie world and we appreciate all the different colors, smells, and flavors that the world has to offer. Lebanese/Middle Eastern cuisine is among our favorite types of food to eat on any given day no special invitation needed. We were very hungry and looking for mediterranean food we stumbles upon your great restaurant. As soon as we sat down and tried the appetizer of bread, olive oil, dry spices, pickles, and olives we were sold; we pay attention to every little detail when we go out to eat and right from the start we knew the food would be great. The belly dancing was interesting and entertaining we will definitely come eat with you all again.
We saw the review in the paper and decided to try it. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food. It was delicious. The service was outstanding. My 99 year old mother loved the food. We will definitely go back and bring friends with us.

Web Survey Bibliography
During the last two decades the Netherlands institute for Social Research has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience in conducting surveys among non-western ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. So far these surveys have always been unimode face-to-face surveys, but for the 2010 survey (SIM2010) an experiment has been set up to compare this design with a sequential mixed-mode survey.
This experiment has several advantages such as the possibility to separate differences due to changes over time and differences due to changes in design on important outcome variables. This is an important issue since this survey is part of a time series. Another advantage is the possibility to investigate how representative the response compositions of both surveys are. Of course this design has some limitations and the most obvious one is that in this design the mixed-mode survey makes it very difficult to disentangle mode effects from selection effects.
This presentation discusses the possibilities and limitations of conducting a mixed-mode survey in comparison with a unimode face-to-face survey among non-western minorities in the Netherlands. It focuses on issues such as questionnaire design, mode choice and fieldwork logistics. Furthermore it talks about differences in response and response composition in both surveys and differences on important outcome variables.

Why Apple's secrecy is frustrating Mac Pro customers
It's not exactly a revelation to say Apple executives are fond of secrets. While that sense of mystery may work marketing magic with consumers, many Mac Pro customers in the professional world would very much appreciate it if Apple would cut it out with the cloak-and-dagger stuff.
At a starting price of $2,499, the Mac Pro is one of Apple's most expensive products. It's still the go-to workhorse for creative types who work in film, photography, print, and architectural jobs. But many of them are losing patience with Apple following a series of erratic product updates … Read more
