text: FAQ – frequently asked questionsAre there any baby cots available at the villas? Are there any highchairs available at the villas? Can we use a WIFI connection in the villa? Is there AIR CONDITIONING in the villa? On the day of arrival we would like to check in earlier in the villa? You can be lucky on your day of arrival if there is no departure the same day. When the property has already been cleaned the day before you can check in earlier in the villa, after consulting us, but never before 10 am. On our departure day can we check out later than 10 am from the villa? You may be lucky if the day of your departure is no changeover day. After consulting us, you can stay longer in the house, until the time that suits the caretaker. Can we arrive later than 11 pm at the villa on the day of arrival? Can we still arrive after midnight at the villa on the day of arrival? If you arrive after midnight at the villa because of a delay of your flight, caretakers will ensure that you can still get into the villa, at additional cost, to be paid to the caretaker on arrival. Book your flights baring in mind the possible check-in and check-out times of the villa. In the dark, it is of course also more difficult to find your way. Can we reach the caretaker at any time for problems with the property? Unfortunately there are still many places in Spain where there is no range is for mobile phones. If a caretaker is temporarily out of reach, leave a message on the voicemail on which the caretaker will call you back as soon as there is range again. From Monday to Friday you can call the office of Finca Tours from 10 am to 6 pm if you can't reach the caretaker. Outside office hours and if the caretaker is out of reach, you can call the emergency number that you find in the travel documents. Is the transfer from the airport to the villa arranged by Finca Tours? |

These are awesome sunglasses! I love the mirrored look as opposed to the transparent lens. These give off a cool vibe and add a "could care less" attitude to any outfit. They are a little loose because of the way the arms are, but other than that they are one of my favorite pairs of sunglasses.

Whether they're sauteed, roasted, or braised, vegetables make excellent and hearty wintertime sides.
Sweet walnut paste is rolled into yeast dough in this Croatian bread recipe.
Typically made with brocciu, a fresh goat's or ewe's milk cheese, this rustic cake works just as well with ricotta.
This flavorful Mediterranean classic, adapted from Diane Kochilas's The Country Cooking of Greece (Chronicle 2012) can be made using orzo pasta instead of rice.
This recipe comes to us from Chef Amy Eubanks of BLT Fish in New York City as part of the Coastal Fare Menu for the Plugrá Gourmet Club.
Basil flourishes in the hot, dry weather, and so, at the height of summer, we're tossing the bright green, refreshing leaves into everything we can. Though predominantly associated with Mediterranean cuisines, where it's commonly ground into pesto, basil leaves can also be used whole, torn, or diced to add bright flavor to a wide range of drinks and dishes from around the world. From gelato to juleps, Thai fish custard to savory-sweet watermelon salad, pea soup, and more, these seventeen recipes let basil shine.
The small plates, dips, and salads known as meze are common throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East.

Dinner takes on a Mediterranean flavor when fava beans are on the menu, in Spanish fideos, a stew with herbs and garlic, or simply grilled.
The Italian anchovy sauce colatura di alici lends a deep umani flavor to this pasta dish from chef Justin Smillie of Manhattan's Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria. This recipe first appeared in the iPad edition of our Jan/Feb 2013 issue along the article Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria.
This wintry risotto is rich with butternut squash, mushrooms, and sage. The farro remains perfectly springy and al dente, creating a nice contrast to the softer textures in the dish.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"If I Did it again I would buy the heavier card stock. It's a lovely card and the proof, review and customer service were fantastic. Great value for the price."
"Being able to create our own save the dates was outstanding! I had fun building it. The program was easy to use. The flexibility in the program allowed me to personalize the card to our needs like choosing the photos and fonts! Highly recommend."
"We loved how our Save the Date turned out. It was exactly what we wanted, and very reasonable in terms of price. I would absolutely recommend using Wedding Paper Divas."
"The paper and printing of the postcard is better from what I imagine it. It surpassed my expectations. The shipping was very fast, and usually shippings to Puerto Rico take longer. The design is just what we wanted and the website is very user friendly in helping you making your card. Thank you so much!"
"This was the perfect card for my romantic, delicate, vintage inspired wedding. The colors, delicate yet simple design were everything I was looking for. Photo quality was great. I loved the spot on the back of the postcards where you can type a message for your guests. A nice touch that most Save the Dates don't have :) Finally, I was MOST THRILLED with the speediness of your processing & delivery! AMAZING! We are just under 6 months from our wedding date so we really wanted to get our Save the Dates out…I ordered the postcards (with all my personalizations!!) on Sunday afternoon and the flawless cards were in my mailbox on Tuesday morning. Very happy customer!"

Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer
MarcellaNot What I Was Hoping ForI was looking for a hair dryer that would "make a difference". This isnt the one for me. If you are looking for one that blows a lot of air without the choice of making it just blow "a little", then you will be happy with it. It is a hurricane! Also, the long cord drives me crazy! You could vacuum your house while blow drying your hair. As far as being "ionic", I can see no difference in my hair. Good luck in your search! Mine continues!posted Oct 30, 2007Link to this post
EmmyNot As Good As I HopedAfter reading the reviews, I bought this dryer expecting a lot---especially shorter drying time. I have thick wavy shoulder length hair that Id been drying with a drugstore 1875-watt dryer. I suspect that the people who said their drying time was reduced were using drugstore brands of lower wattage before purchasing the Solia, because my drying time is exactly the same. The air from the Solia comes out with much more force, but nevertheless the drying time is not reduced. My hair comes out maybe a bit better, but Im glad I didnt spend a fortune for this, or Id be feeling very ripped off. I must say I feel a bit like The Emperors New Clothes---I definitely do not see the excellent results others have written about.posted Oct 30, 2007Link to this post

JackieOrlando, FloridaGreat PurchaseSince my old dryer died before my new one arrived, I bought a cheap dryer. When it arrived, I did a side-by-side comparison and hands-down, the Solia one is much better. The quality of the materials is better, the sound of the motor is better and it dried my hair much quicker. It did take some getting used to the placement of the buttons, but its no big deal. It also is a little big and heavy, but its also a full-size dryer so its to be expected. Im just trying to get used to the size. Its powerful without sounding or feeling that way--dries quickly. My hair is colored with highlights, thin, fine and has a little wave, but I need to dry it for body or else its limp. My hair was shiny to begin with so I didnt notice a difference there, but my hairdresser asked me what I was doing since she said my hair was in better condition. All that was different was the new Solia dryer! The Solia dryer is a good buy... I was convinced once I compared it side-by-side. Im very pleased with it and definitely recommend it! This is my second purchase with Folica and again Im happy with my order.posted Oct 30, 2007Link to this post

And it turned out to be very good.

Tackling 'school-run' traffic congestion in East Lancashire
10:00am Sunday 8th September 2013 in News By Emma Cruces, Education reporter
ALMOST a quarter of the cars on our roads during rush hour are on the 'school run'. Education Reporter EMMA CRUCES spoke to campaigners, councillors and schools about the 'walk to school' debate . . .
WITH the first week of September comes the true return of the morning rush hour after a six-week hiatus.
Blackburn councillor, Shaukat Hussain, has been dreading the return of congested junctions and cars parked outside schools.
The Bastwell councillor decided to take action after he heard about three minor accidents close to local schools in as many months at the end of the summer term.
Coun Hussain said he quickly discovered many children were driven from homes just a short walk away.
He said: "I am working with the police and with the schools but it seems to be an issue of culture.
"Parents are used to popping in the car for simply everything and the school run is falling victim to that culture.
"Around Cedar Primary School there were particular issues but they are working with me to speak to parents and children.
"Last term I was at the schools for rush hour in the mornings and you see many parents who live just around the corner.
"I am not saying the parked cars from parents are causing accidents but they don't help and are a hazard. I just want to encourage more walking to school and if parents can walk with their child, then all the better."
During the summer break, the Tauheedul Trust announced it would give each child at the new Blackburn boy's school £150 to walk to school because of the health and traffic benefits.
Lancashire County Council is working with Living Streets, campaigners who organise walk to school events, to encourage more participation.
The last event saw dozens of schools across Lancashire take part and 12 schools also ran a once a week walk to school event.
Regional manager for Living Streets, Jenny Wiles, said 23 per cent of cars on the road were completing the school run.
She said: "We understand parents are busy but if they can only spare one day a week in which to walk to school, that alone makes a massive difference.
"Walking to School Month takes place in October and that really is an ideal time to try it out and see how it works for you. We underestimate walking, but it is fresh air, exercise and an opportunity to spend quality time together.
"Some of our schemes involve giving children collectable badges and that has seen a really impressive rise in the number of children walking to school.
"For parents, we know that some people live some distance away from school, so we can also operate a 'park and stride' scheme. This means parents park a walkable distance from school.
"Some parents are amazed at how that can be quicker because they skip all the congestion surrounding the school."
Schools completing the Walk to School Once a Week - WOW scheme - include St John with St Augustine, Peel Park Primary School, St Annes and St Josephs in Accrington, Great Harwood Primary School, Oswaldtwistle West End Primary School, Casterton Primary, Barden Primary and St James Lanehead Primary and St John the Baptist RC Primary Burnley, Bradley Primary, Lomeshaye Junior School and Marsden Community Primary in Nelson.
Kieran Heakin, headteacher at St John the Baptist in Burnley said the once a week scheme had a profound effect on learning.
He said: "The children who walk to school learn a lot. It is amazing how much they advance with regular walks.
"They learn about the seasons and nature and the weather.
"They learn that when it rains, they get wet - and what is wrong with that? Children who are cooped up in a car don't know how to cross the roads properly. They just have much less experience.
"It's the kids who walk to school and who play out at night who are safest because they learn how to tackle traffic.
"Our motto is walk one day, drive one way, because we have voluntarily made Brent Street a one-way system. It's all part of our traffic plan to cut congestion.
"Our walk to school day is Friday and we survey the kids to see who has walked to school. We offer a Friday breakfast and the children really enjoy the chance to catch up with friends while they walk. The class with the most walkers gets a Golden Boot trophy and it is getting very competitive now.
"We've seen the level of walkers rise from below 50 per cent to 80 per cent."
Children and young people's councillor for Lancashire County Council, Matthew Tomlinson said: "We encourage schools to have a travel plan and for that plan to include walking. With parents we stress it too because it is such a good opportunity for quality time.
"As a school governor myself I know how congested the streets around schools can become. The more we can get people using alternative means of getting to school the better."

I said in an earlier comment this week that when I was at school I had to walk 3 miles to school and 3 miles home again. It kept me fit and healthy. during my career I did all shifts at one time or another. At certain periods my start time was 5:30 am. The only way to do that shift ssuccessfully was to go to bed at 9:30 pm. I had a job I enjoyed and would go back to it in a shot if I could. Get a positive mental attitude - instead of saying I can't, say I will!

But if you have to drive your kids to school, this does not mean to the very door. I see parents at my kids school parking on the zigzags or on yellow lines at junctions rather than having to walk an extra 100 yards. That is lazy and dangerous.

How about parking the car nearer to school in the evening so you can just drop the kids and off. Think positive, keep an open mind, that's the message.

Ironically no one wishes to travel, at least not for its' own sake. A journey is about getting to some-place else where one wishes to be in order to do something different, viz: work, schooling, leisure etc. One consequence of this derived demand for travel is that the time spent travelling is considered to be dead-time and thus the mode that reduces this to the minimum is perceived by the user – traveller - as being the most efficient. The car scores very highly in this regard, notwithstanding the natural desire to use a car once it has been acquired. The highest demand for travel is during the peak-periods – the long-known and infamous problem of the peak - and the resulting congestion is clear for all to see.
In some respects the convenience provided by the car is merely an extension of technology and increased living standards and we can see this across many other labour and time-saving devices, such as vacuum-cleaners, automatic washing machines, dish-washers, motorised lawn mowers, power tools etc. that have been widely adopted by consumers from all strata of society.
All of this is a long-way of saying that the problem identified by Councillor Hussain is a complex one and while efforts to reduce car use for the school run are welcome the chances of success other than at the margin are, I fear, very slim. I say this not to be negative but to be fully aware of the deep-rooted nature of this issue.

Authority figures (school staff, lollipop folk, what-have-you) could be equipped with event event-recording devices. Worse than that, we could be part of a community which approves of state-killing by forced inhalation of vehicle exhaust gases - among which will be carbon monoxide - ask the Germans and Chinese for details of that process.

My childs school day is 8.50am to 3.15pm (changed from 3.30 15 months ago). An utterly stupid move by Lancs County Council when there was already a school very close by closing at 3.15pm. All this did was massively increase the traffic in the area. The old school time of 3.30 worked well given we have a 3rd primary closing at 3.15 about a mile away. 8.50am -3.15pm doesn't cut working parents any slack at all.
There are also 13 weeks of holidays to cover & ad hoc school closures for voting, strikes & teacher training. All of which make it virtually impossible for me to fit in walks to & from school. Given my day starts at 6.00am & ends at 9.30pm, I make no apology for having to drive to & from school.
It is high time that the british school day & holidays had an overhaul. I would dearly love having the time to walk my little one to school but it's sadly not an option. I accept though that many grandparents & none working parents could make less use of their cars & walk instead of pulling up at 2.30pm so they can park close to the gates!

To my amazement the local Education Authority came up with a scheme to address the attendance problem - viz:
If a pupil attained 80% attendance for a whole term they qualified for a voucher redeemable at a local sports store - and we were not talking £10.00 or £20.00 .
What sort of message did this send out to the pupils? - if you attend school 4 days out of 5 (80%), you receive a pat on the back and bonus! - transfer this ethos to the world of work and you would not keep a job, understandably, for very long.
I fear that the inducement of £150.00 reward for walking to school will send a similar message to our next generation citizens.

We're seeing new reports in the Israeli media that the deadly and growing conflict between Israel him and Hamas is actually the opening round.
Of a larger conflict with Iran.
Israel's been at odds with Iran over its nuclear program for years is now and -- rockets are launched into Jerusalem by Hamas which is extraordinary.
One of the same groups that would likely defend Iran from Israeli air attack that's Hamas.
There are growing concerns that Israel's current conflict could be setting up the ideal conditions.
For them to launch a much larger war.
Joining -- now to discuss it colonel Oliver North was a Fox News military analyst and author of heroes proved in stories today.
And Lisa dot Atari is a journalist specializing in the mideast counterterrorism and Iran in affairs -- -- I this is fascinating to me that -- the reporting.
Out of Israel today is it discusses whether -- this is actually.
The little.
Line camp right it's sort of -- they say it's sort of the little war the little war that's -- precede the big war and the theory is that.
If if Israel hits Iran's nuclear program Iran will strike back you know you will use groups like Hamas and has -- -- on.
-- -- -- -- And so Israel is sort of starting by taking out Hamas and in and it's rockets in its weaponry and may be eleven non Hezbollah's next and then they go for the big enchilada.
Which is Iraq colonel your thoughts.
All that -- would be good Megan if the Israelis had started this fight but they didn't it was all begun by Hamas and Islamic Jihad organization.
Firing rockets into civilian locations in Israel.
It's going on for the last several months.
Now is really finally responds.
By taking out the fudge or five sites all of which by the way were delivered -- Iran.
They've been delivered to Hamas and Islamic Jihad through Sudan from Iran.
Down the Nile River and handed over to Hamas by the egyptians who have facilitated the smuggling operation for some time.
There's no doubt that Israel would benefit from taking out this threat.
If they were about to strike Iran and it will be a very serious prospects it will.
Give the same kind of opportunity for Hezbollah in the north and god forbid a collapse of the Jordanian government next door.
-- -- colonel north is talking about these five you're five these are rockets they come directly from Iran they go to Hamas.
And Israel's very worried about them because their long range they get smuggled and we'll put the map up.
But they get smuggled in across the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.
Two Hamas.
And we're told.
-- Jennifer Griffin is reporting that under Mubarak who of course was in Egypt -- -- earlier spring he used to monitor the Keller wrote the weapons but since he's been.
Ousted the flow is increased and so has the least -- the of the weapons and so Israel's very worried about this do you think that this war even though they didn't start it.
Is -- hitting Israel and its ability to take out these types of weapons before any potential hit on Iraq.
Well we there's motivations on on both sides the theory that that -- but they started which colonel.
Accurately said that they did it.
That at that Israel will continue this in order to.
Eliminate some of the -- -- an element that's surrounded if we flip that and look at this as a proxy war that.
Iran is launching against Israel -- not only.
Flex its muscles -- and show the it.
It Israelis that we can and we will be a direct threat to you from the north.
The -- and Lebanon from the south with Hamas and from the east with that B Ronnie and regime's own elements.
Not only that but the running regime has been looking for distraction for very long time to take the international community's attention.
Offer what they're doing in Syria their involvement there.
And as well of their ongoing nuclear program and as you mentioned what's going on with.
With Egypt with tricky and it's been a rough neighborhood for the Israelis and it just got a lot.
More difficult for them to take on a lot of these elements -- colonel north.
Raise -- about to reach a cease fire were told these are live pictures by the -- as we watch the rocket fire rained down in Israel.
What do -- I assume they wouldn't be sending her they didn't know they had a deal.
Well I think that the administration clearly wants to be seen as playing the role of the peacemaker and all of this I don't necessarily think it's -- of a done deal that there's going to be a cease fire.
Mean after all it's store -- benefit that they continue to perfect the -- or five firing systems the way they -- them the way they command and control them.
The upside for the Israelis it is.
They now know some of the vulnerabilities.
Of the iron dome system.
And they know that it can be overwhelmed by barrage fire multiples launches in the same plane as it -- So they're gonna have to improve what they're going to defend their own people.
My expectation is that this may result in some kind of short term cease fire.
But as long as Iran gets away with sending these kinds of munitions through Egypt.
And very likely through Lebanon to Hezbollah it's going to continue.
-- -- -- -- -- Yeah I mean it's it's -- vote the sad part here is how the relevant and -- Americans look here where.
Turkey can come out and call Israel a very long time friend of the America -- terrorists -- which it did yesterday where Egypt can be a you know accomplice in the crime.
And and in the short term we're sending Hillary Clinton over -- to broker the cease fire.
But in the long term President Obama still has the ambition of negotiating with the terrorist regime.
In Iran.
-- thank you both so much.
Up next.

The Great British Tea Heist
Botanist Robert Fortune traveled to China and stole trade secrets of the tea industry, discovering a fraud in the process
- By Sarah Rose
- Smithsonian.com, March 09, 2010, Subscribe
In 1848, the British East India Company sent Robert Fortune on a trip to China's interior, an area forbidden to foreigners. Fortune's mission was to steal the secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing. The Scotsman donned a disguise and headed into the Wu Si Shan hills in a bold act of corporate espionage.
This is an excerpt from For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History by Sarah Rose.
With [his servant] Wang walking five paces ahead to announce his arrival, Robert Fortune, dressed in his mandarin garb, entered the gates of a green tea factory. Wang began to supplicate frantically. Would the master of the factory allow an inspection from a visitor, an honored and wise official who had traveled from a far province to see how such glorious tea was made?
The factory superintendent nodded politely and led them into a large building with peeling gray stucco walls. Beyond it lay courtyards, open work spaces, and storerooms. It was warm and dry, full of workers manufacturing the last of the season's crop, and the woody smell of green tea hung in the air. This factory was a place of established ceremony, where tea was prepared for export through the large tea distributors in Canton and the burgeoning tea trade in Shanghai.
Although the concept of tea is simple—dry leaf infused in hot water—the manufacture of it is not intuitive at all. Tea is a highly processed product. At the time of Fortune's visit the recipe for tea had remained unchanged for two thousand years, and Europe had been addicted to it for at least two hundred of them. But few in Britain's dominions had any firsthand or even secondhand information about the production of tea before it went into the pot. Fortune's horticultural contemporaries in London and the directors of the East India Company all believed that tea would yield its secrets if it were held up to the clear light and scrutiny of Western science.
Among Fortune's tasks in China, and certainly as critical as providing Indian tea gardens with quality nursery stock, was to learn the procedure for manufacturing tea. From the picking to the brewing there was a great deal of factory work involved: drying, firing, rolling, and, for black tea, fermenting. Fortune had explicit instructions from the East India Company to discover everything he could: "Besides the collection of tea plants and seeds from the best localities for transmission to India, it will be your duty to avail yourself of every opportunity of acquiring information as to the cultivation of the tea plant and the manufacture of tea as practised by the Chinese and on all other points with which it may be desirable that those entrusted with the superintendence of the tea nurseries in India should be made acquainted."
But the recipe for the tea was a closely guarded state secret.
In the entry to the tea factory, hanging on the wall, were inspiring calligraphic words of praise, a selection from Lu Yu's great work on tea, the classic Cha Ching.
The best quality tea must have
The creases like the leather boots of Tartar horsemen,
Curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock,
Unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine,
Gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr,
And be wet and soft like
Earth newly swept by rain.
Proceeding into the otherwise empty courtyard, Fortune found fresh tea set to dry on large woven rattan plates, each the size of a kitchen table. The sun beat down on the containers, "cooking" the tea. No one walked past; no one touched or moved the delicate tea leaves as they dried. Fortune learned that for green tea the leaves were left exposed to the sun for one to two hours.

Is is an interesting article which enriched our knowledge of the fans of tea. Undoubtely England takes a great advantage since the Mr. Fortune investigation because we all know the exceptional quality of the English production, which fine flawors are unique.

The saying, "the more things change the more they remain the same" came to mind as I read the article. The West has continued to be suspicious of the Chinese. And the Chinese has continued to produce products that speak to the West's desire for uniformity and prettiness.

Drywall is the term used for a common method of constructing interior walls and ceilings using panels made of gypsum plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper, then kiln dried.
In the article above, "Gypsum produces hydrogen sulfide gas as it breaks down." It goes on to say it can have serious health affects.
Hmmmm. Especially Chinese drywall, which also smells bad.

Lead has been used for thousands of years. In paint and ceramics, it produces more shine. America used lead in gloss paint until the '70s. Many ceramics still contain lead in Mexico and other countries and should not be used for cooking.

The same impetus for profits as when they were adulterating tea in the 19th century -- market capitalism.

Most interesting. Could there be an explanation on why the toys and other products from China today contain so much lead?

Consumer Affairs Oil Truck Meter Testing Program Oil Truck meter tests are performed annually by weights and measures inspectors. Home heating oil delivery trucks are comprise the majority of these tests. Each Fall, heating oil delivery trucks schedule tests at the Test Station on Dearborn Street. Trucks pump 300 gallons of heating oil into a test measure. The meters must be accurate within 175 cubic inches (approximately 7/10th gallon). Lead-and-wire security seals are affixed to meters that are approved. Also, paper seals are placed on the meters to inform the consumers that the meters have been tested. The Test Station also has 500-gallon and 1,000-gallon test measures for high capacity tank trucks (e.g., gasoline). Delivery tickets are required by state law and city code. The delivery ticket must contain the name and address of the vendor, the name and address of the customer, type of fuel, unit price, quantity delivered, and meter readings.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Sitton said back tightened up on him on way to San Francisco
Green Bay - Though he wasn't making one, Packers guard Josh Sitton might have an excuse for playing one of lousier games Sunday against San Francisco.
It turns out Sitton experienced back issues on the flight to San Francisco Saturday and was unable to cure them before kickoff.
He started and played every offensive snap, most of the time taking on 49ers strongman Justin Smith. Sitton wound up with three penalties and was not at his best in the run game.
"It started to tighten up before the game," Sitton said. "I guess it was just a long plane ride or something. It started tightening up before the game and then we came home and Monday morning it was hurting pretty good."
Asked if the back affected his performance, he said: "No, I don't think so."
Sitton said he was doing a lot better Wednesday than he was Monday or Tuesday. He said it's just a recurrence of some back problems he has had over the course of his career.
When asked whether he thought he could play Sunday against Washington, he said that he would have a better idea on Friday. He said he could play without practicing, if necessary.
Tight end Jermichael Finley, the other player who sat out practice Wednesday, said he hurt his toe against the 49ers.
"I hurt it in the first quarter," he said. "The first drag route I had, (Patrick) Willis fell on my heels and all of my toes dorsiflexed. From there, I felt it during the course of the game, but adrenaline rush and wanted to be out there, so I didn't really say nothing until after the game."
Asked if he was going to play Sunday, he told reporters: "You're here doing your job. I'll be here. You gotta do more than that (to keep him out."

That;s why he had two holding penalties and and hands to the face penalty? Really? Looked like he was overmatched.
I saw him early in the game being launced straight up and backwards, but with a bad back anything is possible. How long has it been since they had a road grader in that line?
The big boy probably overly strained in his seat to let one fly and that probably did him in.
Sitton did play lousy. There is no disputing that.
Not as easy as pie switching sides on the O-line and then going against Smith.
Maybe that's why he got all those penalties. It's tough on your back flying in those small airplane seats. That makes me tighten up too. Good thing I'm not a pro athlete making megabucks with my athletic talents. I probably would have to work out and be in condition to travel and play football.
Your ignorance is showing (again). Teams charter their flights, mostly through Delta airlines, with custom seats and all the amenities. Someone like Sitton or Raji does not sit in "those small airline seats".
There is only one Rosey Palmercot
No way i expected Sitton to have more negative plays than either Bahktiari or Barclay.
Here's one of many links to how teams travel, this one from the WSJ in Oct '12 ...
Given Sitton has a history with bad backs, the flight likely aggravated a pre-existing condition. Seems like a bulging disk ... . -
I'm far more concerned with Finley. Saying his toes "dorsiflexed" is a fancy way of saying he's got a "turf toe" injury, which could possibly hinder him the rest of the year. The fact that he played through it is encouraging, but the fact that he attributed that to "adrenaline rush" isn't.
Unless he was making a joke about an oft-injured player named Dorsey, I'm more impressed with Finley's vocabulary than ever :)
After hearing Sitton say his back tightened up Jennings and McMillian could be heard saying "yeah, me to. Yep, my back tightened up on the plane. No doubt. Bad back."
Sitton may be the best OL the Packers have, which really isn't saying much.
sitton is excellent. that has nothing to do with how good the rest of the line is or isn't.
Sitton was really good as a RG. The jury is still out on whether he is "excellent" as a LG.
Just stop it packerblood, Sitton is not excellent, far from it.
stop what, reality? i wish you'd stop being such a buzzkill, DC.
sitton was voted as the top offensive linemen in the NFL for 2010 by the NFL alumni association.
hogwash you say?
in 2009, steve hutchinson won the top honor.
2008 was alan faneca.
2007, jeff saturday won.
not exactly woeful company. -
Are you saying you think he was the best O-lineman in the NFL in 2010???? Again, stop it. I didn't say he wasn't good, just far from excellent. He is their best O-lineman, so what, their O-line sucks.
You don't make the pro bowl for being mediocre...

What happened: The board unanimously approved a one-year moratorium Monday night on new construction in the town's historic downtown area.
Why it matters: Board members said the moratorium was needed until a historical commission can be formed to help regulate downtown development. The issue came up earlier this year after town attorney T.C. Morphis Jr. said the board had no choice but to approve a metal storage building in the downtown area because it met current zoning requirements.
What they said: Commissioners said the moratorium was necessary to maintain the historic nature of the downtown, which is in the area of Main and Trade streets.
"I'm very unhappy about the building that we had to approve because we had no other option," Commissioner Jerry Legge said. "At least we're taking steps in the right direction to preserve our historic district."
What's next: Morphis said the board can revisit the moratorium after a year, or even sooner, if it wishes.
In other action: The board set a town hall-style meeting for 5:45 p.m. on March 18 at Town Hall. The meeting, in which members of the public can bring up any issue they choose, will be held before the board's regular 7 p.m. meeting that day.

Not a hallmark card to be found!
Hooray for that I say. These beautiful stationery items are all produced by small makers who put time, effort, love and often a sharp wit into their work. Nothing makes me happier than a well stocked stationery drawer. The very thought of having to go to the newsagent and pay way too much for some pretty awful card is enough to make me break out in hives. Yick.
You know, a thoughtfully chosen handcrafted note or card serves as a sweet reminder to the recipient that you LIKE them! It's a guaranteed warm fuzzy.
I like that.
So many of these wonderful offerings make me go "Awwww". I like that too. (And I like your face!)
Will you be stocking your stationery drawer? Do you like warm and fuzzy or do you like funny? Maybe you like both?

So far Rockstar Games and Take 2 have stuck to their guns and refused to announce, mention or even hint at versions of Grand Theft Auto V on anything other than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but as a 'last hurrah' for these ageing consoles the game does a great job of pushing the hardware to the limit and presents a very believable and detailed world. The characters don't look too bad, either.
The thorough folks over at Digital Foundry have of course put the two different versions of GTA V up against one another in a console comparison video that places the exact same scenes running on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 side-by-side – can you tell the difference between them?
So far, reports from people who have seen both versions running point to the Xbox 360 running slightly better overall, but it's the PS3 version that may look better with higher quality textures. See if you can spot the difference in the video below:
Grand Theft Auto 5 Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Comparison
Note: The video is running at 33 percent speed to keep the image quality high.
Have you read El33tonline's in-depth retrospective article looking back at the Grand Theft Auto series? It has some classic trailers and sales numbers for you to peruse amongst the nostalgia – read it here.
You can also watch El33tonline's Community Preview video, which contains comments from our readers to share their excitement over the game – catch that over here.

The first time I tried pilates on the reformer was in 2003. I left my first private lesson feeling exuberated. I had never been as sore as I was, and loved that I worked every tiny muscle in my body. I continued taking lessons three times a week and could not get enough. I absolutely loved the changes that were happening to my figure, and it was totally transforming! I was so passionate and empowered by pilates that I decided to get certified in 2006. I was so unfulfilled in my current job in banking, that in 2007, I quit, and took a chance opening Exhale Pilates Studio, LLC. Being a start-up business owner has been challenging, but my hard work and dedication to my clientele has paid off….because Exhale has won "Best Pilates Studio" in Charleston for the 6 years that it has been open!
Exhale currently offers privates, semi-privates and up to groups of 5, and we are in the process of expanding in the near future. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be able to have a job that I absolutely love going to each day. I get to meet such amazing people and love helping them to achieve their health and fitness aspirations. My mantra for Exhale is to balance a fun and relaxing atmosphere, with a kick-butt workout!
An ongoing goal I have is to practice what I preach, so I take pilates and other forms of workouts here and abroad, to expand my knowledge base. I believe pilates is a living, breathing and evolving form; therefore, I take these new learned techniques, and blend them with the basic foundations to create my own style.
I continued practicing pilates while I was pregnant with my son Smith, and truly feel that pilates made my pregnancy and delivery so much easier. Having such a strong core helped me bounce back to my pre-pregnancy shape in just weeks! With the new addition to my family, I strive to find a good balance between being a mom, wife and business owner….it's not always easy, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job!

Consisting of 25 individual states, each with their own very distinct history, geography and culture, India is one of the most diverse lands in the world. From its border with China in the north, it stretches over 3,000 km to Sri Lanka in the south. The majority of the extreme north of the country is cut off from the rest of Asia by the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world, but it also shares a border with Nepal. In the northeast it shares borders with Tibet, Bangladesh and Bhutan, with Burma in the east and on the west it is border by the Arabian Sea and Pakistan.
Home to over one billion inhabitants, India is the second most populous country in the world – only China has more citizens – and it is expected that the Indian population will surpass the Chinese one in the next two decades. As you can appreciate in a country of this size, therefore, the vast amount of cultural diversity within the country is beyond anything you can imagine. Six main ethnic groups - the smaller ones are innumerable- twenty-four different languages, fourteen of which are official as well as hundreds of minor linguistic groups and seven major religions combine to make it one of the most interesting places you will ever visit.
Religion actually plays a major role in India's daily life. The birthplace of two of the worlds greatest religions – Hinduism and Buddhism – as well as one of the smallest, Jainism, there are countless different religions being practised in the country at the moment. Hinduism is the dominant faith being practised by about 80% of the population, 10% or so practise Islam and 5% are made up of Sikhs and Christians. The remaining 5% which consists of about 45 million inhabitants practise Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Bahaism as well as many more.
As well as the aforementioned cultural diversity, however, the geographical and historical contrast to be found throughout the country is also one which you won't forget in a hurry. In fact it is the former which has largely shaped the latter. Due to its position between the East and the West, it has been a feeding ground for invaders throughout the decades. The Greeks, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Portuguese and the British all made their own raids on this land which was virtually isolated from the rest of Asia. In fact it was its isolation which also shaped its cultures and traditions because once people actually made it into the country they found that getting out wasn't quite so easy.

$250 million to tell kids to just say no… to sex. Without having proof that this works.
Thursday, April 1st, 2010I found the following story while trolling through CNN. Apparently, $250 million dollars is being used to fund abstinence programs in school… that are not evidence based. A resounding WTF comes to mind. We are funding programs in school that are not based on any factual or even circumstancial evidence? $250 million to tell hormone driven teens NOT to have sex? Ridiculous. That's like telling a hungry person not to eat. I can't believe my taxes are paying for this hogwash. No sex before marriage?!!! How about no marriage before sex? The result would be a much happier life and if the person chooses to get married a much happier marriage.
Here's an idea, how about we teach kids how human biology works and the risks that come with having sex, as well as, how to protect themselves and their partners from them while using the appropriate measures. Then again, this would require evidence, facts and common sense and that would probably confuse kids. Lets not fight ignorance with knowledge and education, we may actually teach our youth something. I shouldn't be suprised though, since some states already teach another evidence lacking program called Intelligent Design.

This Week In Screengrab Snafus - 2/25
With the end of football season and the Pammies more than six months away, we're moving our Friday staple, This Week in Screengrab Snafus, to Saturdays to make sure you start your weekend the right way... and to help cope with the fact that it'll be six more months until the return of Gary Danielson.
Via CHeller37 comes this conference affiliation fail from the mothership. Don't you think Ohio State and Michigan and the Big Ten has suffered enough at the hands of the SEC already? I know the SEC is being paid zillions of dollars by ESPN... maybe that's why we never hear about the Big Ten's superiority in basketball...
Poor Terry Collins wishes this was his first year as Mets manager (h/t metfan425)
And finally, well, this is just the best snafu ever from kcaldwell1224. Just count how many spelling errors there are on this local weather report. Simply amazing.
That was your week in Screengrab Snafus, next time be careful out there!

UNCLEAR SKIES: Burning ethanol fuel instead of gasoline in cars could contribute to more smog, according to a new study from Stanford University.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

Ethanol as a fuel offers a host of potential benefits, according to its supporters. It can be grown and refined primarily in the U.S., whether made from corn, switchgrass or cellulose. It is already being used as a fuel additive—to help gasoline burn more completely and, thus, cut down on air pollution. And, because it is made from plants that pull carbon dioxide from the air, it does not add additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, which are driving climate change. But a new study shows that it will not help clear the nation's skies of smog; on the contrary, it could increase the levels of that dangerous pollution.
Environmental engineer Mark Jacobson of Stanford University used a computer model to assess how the air pollution in the U.S. would react if vehicles remained primarily fueled by gasoline in 2020 or if the fleet transferred to a fuel that was a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline, so-called E85. Under the latter scenario, levels of the cancer-causing agents benzene and butadiene dropped, whereas those of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde rose: In other words, it was a wash.
Because burning ethanol can potentially add more smog-forming pollution to the atmosphere, however, it can also exacerbate the ill effects of such air pollution. According to Jacobson, burning ethanol adds 22 percent more hydrocarbons to the atmosphere than does burning gasoline and this would lead to a nearly two parts per billion increase in tropospheric ozone. This surface ozone, which has been linked to inflamed lungs, impaired immune systems and heart disease by prior research, would in turn lead to a 4 percent increase in the number of ground level ozone-related deaths, or roughly 200 extra deaths a year. "Due to its ozone effects, future E85 may be a greater overall public health risk than gasoline," Jacobson writes in the study published in Environmental Science & Technology. "It can be concluded with confidence only that E85 is unlikely to improve air quality over future gasoline vehicles."
But estimates of the nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons released by ethanol combustion vary, according to Tim Gerlach, vice president of clean fuels and vehicle technologies at the American Lung Association of the Upper Midwest in St. Paul, Minn. "We ran a couple of vehicles in multiple dynometer runs and measured tailpipe emissions," he says. "[E85] compared very favorably to a low-sulfur, low-benzene, oxygenated gasoline." Specifically, burning E85 resulted in fewer ozone-forming compounds than gasoline. And E85's benefits as far as combating global warming outweigh any impact in ozone pollution. "We need to have an orderly, sustained implementation of low-carbon fuels and a smooth transition to a low-carbon world," says Roland Hwang, vehicles policy director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. "E85 is a part of the solution to global warming."
As a result of his ethanol finding, Stanford's Jacobson suggests that electric vehicles, such as hybrids that plug into the existing electrical grid or hydrogen fuel cell cars might prove a better solution to future vehicle energy needs from an environmental perspective. "We haven't reviewed the study here," says Julie Ruggiero, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Energy, which is currently pursuing ethanol research as part of President Bush's plans to increase its use as an alternative fuel. "Ethanol is just one part of a broader renewable portfolio."
Ethanol advocates agree. "Ethanol is not the silver bullet," says Matt Hartwig, a spokesperson for the Renewable Fuels Association, an industry group. "It's a very important tool in the toolbox to address energy security and to address the issues around global warming and the environment. But it's not the only answer." And Jacobson's study may have revealed one of the downsides to this alternative fuel.

Weekend Anchor/Reporter
HOUGHTON -- Nine-year-old Seth Carney has PDD-NOS which stands for pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. PDD-NOS is on the autism spectrum and Seth's parents say it wasn't always easy. "When Seth was born, he's my third child, and as a mother, I just noticed there was something a little different about him. I kept taking him to the doctor a couple times, and I go, there's something wrong. He's not talking. He should be talking by now, and she dismissed it as a little delayed in that area. After a couple doctors, come to find out there were signs of autism but high-functioning," said Heidi Carney, Seth's mom. On Saturday, Seth got a chance to enjoy a Family Fun Day put on by four grandparents who started the Copper Country Autism Awareness group. "Our goal was to have special events for children with autism and to help the parents in any way that we can. So we're always interested in parents' input to tell us what they need and what they want," said Kathe Lanctot, group member. The group also wants to teach people about autism so it's easier for kids like Seth to be better understood and not judged by their behavior. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined. The Copper Country Autism Awareness group wants parents with autistic children to know that help and support is available.

Howdy from NoVA. More on "what's the South," and the difference between NoVa and RoVa. For once, the Washington Post is playing catch-up with me (!). On Nov 9th I posted about the difference between NoVa and RoVA. And today, Nov 16th, the paper ran a piece on the same topic. You'd think the Second Civil War is about to break out. This time, the paper talked to people in other parts of the state. All I can say is, Richmond sure likes that tax revenue. Here's the link. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/15/AR2006111501395.html There are lots of places I haven't visited yet, but I'm working on my list! Patty |

Haha, that is a very interesting post, Mr. Duncan. I think that as a whole, Arkansas is more Southern in culture than Texas though, because Texas kind of has its own culture by itself. Texas is pretty much independant culturally, with influences from the South, southwest, and even Mexico. Fine state by the way, I have a lot of family down there. |

Mr. Duncan, your family history sounds similar to mine. My family came from North Carolina after the war to set up a missionary( my great, great, great grandfather became a preacher after he was surrendered by General Lee) and I believe other parts of my family came earlier from Mississippi and Tennessee, and if I am not mistaken Virginia. But anyway, they came because they had lost everything in their native states after the War. regards, Casey |

Letters from Jewish summer camps have not changed much since 1963, when Allan Sherman recorded the classic song, "Hello Muddah! Hello Faddah!" Kids still write about what they had for lunch, what their cabin is like and their bunkmates. Though a national Web site allows one-way e-mails from parents to kids, Jewish summer camps still expect campers to write their folks the old-fashioned way -- with pen, paper, stamps and envelopes.
