Download Europe Overview 31 December 2012 Generalised violence, armed conflict between Yugoslav, Croatian and Bosnian armed forces and militias and human rights violations led to the internal displacement of more than a million people during the 1992 to 1995 war, and the creation of ethnically homogenous areas within the newly formed independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As of the end of 2012, it was still hosting around 103,000 IDPs. Not all returnees have achieved a durable solution. Improved security and the prospect of being able to repossess and rebuild their homes prompted many IDPs to return, but many have experienced continued security incidents and only limited access to roads, water and electricity. Many lack health insurance and struggle to access pensions and social benefits. Only around 360 people returned during 2012. IDPs unable or unwilling to return continue to face obstacles to local integration. Roma people in particular struggle to obtain identity documents, without which they are unable to access services, get a job or vote. More than 8,600 IDPs still live in dilapidated collective centres, many of them among the most vulnerable groups such as those with physical or mental disabilities, chronic illnesses, or no income or family support. The government drafted new legislation in December 2012 which, after years of focusing on return, will expand support beyond IDPs' places of origin. In line with this shift, some IDPs were given new housing to help them integrate locally. Multiple donors funded a regional programme under the 2005 Sarajevo Process, to provide housing to refugees and a small number of IDPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries in the region.
Despite its historic policy of exclusively supporting the return of IDPs to their places of origin, the government in Bosnia and Herzegovina has increasingly recognised the need to assist the most vulnerable among them, who cannot or do not want to return. The Gornja Kolonija collective centre in the town of Jablanica, where more than 1,500 IDPs had taken refuge during the conflict, was closed in September 2010, after the last nine residents had been rehoused in a new four-storey block built on land provided by the Jablanica municipal authorities.
In the general elections held in early October, IDPs were able to register to vote either in the municipalities where they lived prior to 1991 (in person or by absentee ballot) or in the municipalities where they now live. Over 22,000 chose to vote in their municipalities of origin. In 2009, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated the number of IDPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina at almost 114,000.

Study: Moderate Exercise Lowers Breast Cancer Risk
Yet another reason to lace up those sneakers: Regular exercise can lower women's risk of breast cancer, suggests a new study published in the journal Cancer. Researchers found that women who exercised two hours a day, five days of the week, were 30 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than less active women. Exercise intensity didn't make a difference—moderate activity, such as gardening, walking, or doing household chores, sufficed. The study included 1,504 women ages 20 to 98 with breast cancer, and 1,555 women without the disease. Overall, women who did any exercise had a 6 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those who did not, but the effect was strongest among those with children who exercised for 10 to 19 hours each week. The findings held true for both women who were in the midst of their reproductive years and those who had already gone through menopause. "I was excited by the results because as women tend to age, they get set in their habits, and think that if they haven't been active their whole life, why start now," study author Lauren McCullough, a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, told Time. "But it's important to show that there is research-based evidence that says that you can start exercising after menopause and still enjoy really good benefits."
6 Symptoms You Shouldn't Self-Treat
Watching Grey's Anatomy won't help you heal yourself, though it may make you happy. While it's fine to self-treat symptoms such as a runny nose or a mild headache, others require a health professional's attention. And a phone consult isn't always enough: Your doctor may need to see you. For instance, if you're having symptoms for the first time and are unsure why, consider scheduling a visit with your healthcare provider. And if you're experiencing familiar symptoms, you may still need medical advice, especially if the problems stick around.
"I certainly understand a patient wanting to just get some information over the phone. But a description over the phone doesn't always tell us what's going on," says Randy Wexler, a physician and associate professor of family medicine at Ohio State University. Read on to get information about common symptoms you shouldn't self-treat—even though a quick trip to the drug store can be very, very tempting.
1. Heartburn. You're starting to pop antacids like candy, and that's a problem. If you have heartburn twice a week or more and have been taking antacids or heartburn medications for more than two weeks, see your doctor, advises the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). You could have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a more serious form of acid reflux that can cause complications like ulcers and cancer if left untreated.

Internet Safety: Tips for Keeping Kids Safe Online
Dear Parents,
We have arrived at the season that can inspire considerable joy and fear. Yay! You can take that family vacation. Yelp! Your kids are always around—and seeking entertainment. You may be asking yourself: How in the heck am I going to occupy my offspring all summer long? And, egads! How can I keep them out of trouble?
For many American kids, summer vacation means more time spent online. Appropriately, June marks National Internet Safety Month, which has a range of groups rolling out advice to empower parents and kids in the virtual world.
First, a little perspective. Internet use comes with risks, but they may not be the ones you imagine. The fear of sexual predators online, for example, may be inflated. Among the 50,000 arrests made in child molestation cases in 2009, only 850, or less than 2 percent of them, involved offenders who met the victim online, says David Finkelho, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. It's possible, he argues, that the Internet has enabled more intervention of such crimes. In any case, the vast majority of sexual abuse cases are perpetrated by acquaintances or family members of the victim. "Far greater concerns are things like cyberbullying," oversharing, spending excessive time online, and easy access to mature material, says Stephen Balkam, CEO of the Family Online Safety Institute, an international nonprofit that works to make Internet use safer for kids and families.

"What I like about my shoes is they are pink, minimalist, and comfortable. They also have a wide toe box. What I do not like about my shoes is that the laces are quite long and they untie easy. Because my shoes are white and pink they get dirty easily. I wear my shoes to go hiking, backpacking, and cross-country running. My Vivobarefoot shoes are comfortable for all those things, although my toes get cold if it's windy and cold out. I've won a few medals in my cross country races, 3 golds and 1 silver."

I got this for my boys hoping to use it as an alarm clock. Well, right after they opened it we lost the directions that came with it and I havent been able to figure out how to set the alarm. (you'd think it'd be a no brainer) Anywho, we love it. So yeah we dont use it to wake up, but they use it to go to sleep. The ocean waves, and babbling brook actually sound soothing enough and its changing colors are soft enough. Getting them to stay in bed (nothing to say of being quiet while in bed) was always a struggle, but now with this lil gadget its sooo much easier. It says it has 4 sounds but really its more like 2 alarm sounds and 2 night sounds. Now if only I could figure out the alarm clock part..... I could then give it 5 stars!

I thought that this clock would light up all the time. I was upset to find that it lights up momentarily. Without the light, the clock looks like a clear circle with a lightbulb in the middle, not very attractive in my opinion. Also, since it does not light up unless you press a button, you cannot see the clock in the dark. It is nice that it tells the time, temp, and date, I just wish it did the above. If I knew this info beforehand, I would not have bought it.

This is a fun alarm clock for tweens or teens. No one likes getting up in the morning or alarm clocks, but this cute clock helps to make it more positive. The kids I've given it to have enjoyed the colors and all of the information it provides.

Ball Of Light!
By Boy Toy
from Stone Mountain, GA
This is a cool, fun alarm clock. It keeps perfect time and is easy to set. The way it lights up and changes colors is beautiful. The clock also makes various sounds when the alarm goes off. So far, my favorite sound is the ocean with seagulls chirping. The clock's room temperature gauge is accurate as well.

By Buzzy Mommy

I bought the clock for my son so he could start getting up on his own. He loves the colors and the soothing sounds before bed. Setting the alarm and snooze takes a lot of steps. Setting the clock was fine. My son was able to do this with no problems.

Cool Clock
By Mom of 6
from Charlotte, NC
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
I purchased for my daughters room and will get one for her brothers because they think the color changing is pretty cool. There are some sounds that play for background noise but we hardly use it because we already have music playing. The colors really only change when you push the buttons but it is still cool looking. Read the instructions carefully to access the correct features, I found it a bit confusing.
Great value, limited functionality

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Working Parent
Use it for 3 kids age 5, 4, 4 to wake up in morning and get ready for school. It has limited functionality such as the alarm will go off for 2 min then turn off for 1 min and can repeat up to 2 additional times. Or set it for no snoozing at all. Price is great, and the limited functionality doesn't bother us as we have simplistic uses.
waste of money

This looked like it would be really cool and fun for my 7 year old. I saw it had bad reviews but decided to get it anyway. It worked for a couple weeks before it stopped working completely, even with new batteries. Don't waste your money on this.

Every patient has a pathway to treatment. That path starts at the health and wellness phase of the journey and leads all the way through to treatment, patient adherence and managing an illness. Most pharmaceutical companies have a firm grasp on the patient pathway as it relates to their drugs.
Along that path, the individual has very different needs that can guide the content creation of a pharmaceutical company engaging in social media. Understanding those information gaps along the patient pathway is critical to healthcare social media success. A person is more apt to trust the company that's been there from the start rather than the company that showed up only in the patient's time of need. Social media relationships should be built to last and not transactional in nature.
But you understand this already. The more pressing question is: what is it that people want along the patient pathway? To begin to form an answer to that question, it's helpful to understand the changing information consumption habits of today's patient:
- 23% of individuals with a chronic disease go online for the purpose of finding others with similar health concerns
- 17% of cell phone users have used their phone to look up health and medical information
- 78% of home broadband users look online for health information
- 60% of people classify themselves as visual learners
- 67% of specialist physicians own smart phones and 75% of those doctors use their smart phone to view medical apps like Epocrates
All of this leads to an important point: social media strategy requires a robust content syndication network. Most content creation efforts focus on text-based efforts. But all data around consumption habits points to the need for a mix of text-based content along with video, audio, Slidehare and interactive games. And we are not just creating content for the oft-repeated "three screens"—we need to think about four screens (TV, computer, smartphone and tablet).
The patient pathway should map to the patient engagement span. There is no single approach to achieve this goal. By starting off with a listening program to understand the patient population and their needs along the patient pathway, you can begin to offer the right types of content at the right time. Content creation in social media channels needs to evolve from text-based and at a single point-in-time (usually treatment or diagnosis) to multi-format, multi-device and at every point along the patient pathway.

text: Watch out, Silicon Valley: Europe's next billion dollar start-ups 07 September 10 by James Watson Tweet Royston Knipe This article was taken from the October issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineTwo veteran rock stars are sharing a joke under the late-afternoon June sun as around them American- and Chinese accented money men sip cocktails and glance towards a Tesla Roadster being driven silently across the manicured lawns. Nearby, a huddle of senior executives from the likes of Facebook, Google and Amazon is debating AOL's disastrous disposal of Bebo, the business opportunities offered by the iPad, and where the venture-capital titans here tonight will be investing their next billion dollars. The talk is of "hundred-million-dollar exits" and start-up "burn rates" -- yet despite all the aggressive deal-making, this is no Silicon Valley power powwow. We're 9,000km from California -- at a charmingly English Four Seasons Hotel in rural Hampshire.The Founders Forum, a by-invitation private gathering that has temporarily raised the hotel's GDP to that of a mid-sized east European nation, unites successful business founders -- mostly from the online, media and tech sectors -- with investors, politicians and power brokers, plus some music legends and at least one well-known model-and-actress. As dinner gets underway, it's striking how many of the high-profile start-ups being lauded are British -- among them Autonomy,Ocado, Shazam, Net-a-Porter, Mind Candy, Betfair, mydeco, Wonga, TweetDeck and Plink, an image-recognition software firm so hot that Google just bought it. Kristian Segerstråle, who last November, at 32, sold his Chelsea-based social gaming firm Playfish to Electronic Arts (EA) for a sum approaching £260 million, takes the microphone to update the crowd on its progress: from 25 million active monthly users to 60 million today. "Our reverse takeover of EA," the Finnish-born entrepreneur declares with a grin, "is well under way."The audience -- among them top-rank investors from Accel Partners and Index Ventures -- laughs knowingly at Segerstråle's chutzpah, as if it's only right that a barely three-year- old British start-up should now be aiming to supplant a five-billion-dollar California-based gaming giant. The message, emanating confidently from the dining room, is watch out, Silicon Valley. Europe -- and especially Britain is now ready to compete, wielding both the entrepreneurial startup culture and the VC backing to create the next world-dominating Google or Twitter.Yet as Playfish was launching its first social-network-based game in 2007 -- an IQ tester titled Who Has The Biggest Brain? -- an American entrepreneur called Mark Pincus was also becoming excited about Facebook's vast growth creating a gap for a new category of social games. Pincus, determined to move fast, launched Zynga, which began by creating card games such as Texas Hold 'Em and Blackjack.Both Zynga's and Playfish's user bases grew rapidly. Over the next year, venture capitalists poured millions of dollars into the two firms. By 2009 both had a string of hits, including Playfish's Pet Society and Zynga's mega-hit Farm- Ville: played by tens of millions of people, it went on to become Facebook's most popular game. Yet whereas Segerstråle decided, that November, to accept an offer from EA that might eventually be worth $400 million, Zynga, a month later, took a new $180 million investment from Digital Sky Technologies, a Russian firm that had invested in Facebook. Based on a multiple of Zynga's rapidly growing revenues, the New York Times estimated that the deal implicitly valued the firm at up to $1.5 billion -- with others suggesting twice that. Zynga had now raised $219 million in three rounds of venture capital (as well as an undisclosed amount from an early angel investor, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman). By contrast -- according to the CrunchBase technology database -- prior to its sale Playfish had received just $21 million in seed funding and venture capital. By all accounts, both companies' stories suggest untrammelled success. But the background to the two firms' nearly parallel lives also provides some revealing insights into both the opportunities and the challenges of creating a high-tech start-up in Europe today. Could Playfish's London origins have held it back from reaching for the big time? Read page 2 12345 Read on one page Comments See article + quote from MIke...

Washington, DC Saturday, September 10, 2011
C-SPAN Radio' s historic Supreme Court Oral Argument: "United States, petitioner v. Alfonzo Lopez, Jr., respondent." This 1995 case is about Congressional authority and the Commerce Clause, cited by many of the current state challenges to the health care law.
In 1992, Alfonzo Lopez, Jr., a 12th grade high school student, carried a concealed weapon into his San Antonio, Texas high school. He was charged under Texas law with firearm possession on school premises. The next day, the state charges were dismissed, after federal agents charged Alfonso Lopez with violating a federal criminal statute: The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. The act forbids "any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that [he] knows...is a school zone." Alfonso Lopez was found guilty following a bench trial and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and two years' supervised release.
He appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, claiming that the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act exceeded Congress' power to legislate, under the Commerce Clause. The Fifth Circuit agreed and reversed his conviction. The Federal government petitioned for Supreme Court review and the Court accepted the case.

Newcastle United For Dummies
As promised we have the unique pleasure of our first guest post from one of my heroes. A New York football legend if you will and a saint of the only church I attend on 3rd Ave between 11th and 12th Streets. At his request we have hidden his identity to protect the innocent. He took some time out from his busy schedule to break down the situation at Newcastle in terms you can understand. Hopefully this won't be his last contribution to your football knowledge.
Mike Ashley has the scorn of the Geordies and is the root problem of all that is wrong with the club! Well, so say members of the Toon Army as they parade their angst with their "Cockney MAFIA out!" banner during a recent home loss to Hull City. Even Magpie, the Toon mascot, was photographed holding a poster stating, "No more Geordie cash for Ashley!" Things certainly are off the charts north of Hadrian's Wall.
But is Mike Ashley really to blame for this mess or is he just misguided lad with too much money?
Billionaire Mike Ashley isn't really a Cockney but he was born in Buckinghamshire and ranks 54th in the Sunday Times Rich List. Ashley has loved his football since attending the World Cup in Mexico in 1986 and was attracted to Newcastle by the myth that Toon fans were the best fans in football. In fact, Ashley believes that the fans are Newcastle United's best asset. Ashley paid ₤134 million for the club and paid another ₤110 million just to reduce the debt. That's right, reduce the debt.
Things were wrong at Newcastle United BEFORE Mike Ashley won the scorn of all illiterate Toon fans. Toon? Well, that's the Geordie pronunciation of the word "town!" To really look into this situation, we really need to go back in time to see where things went wrong.
Newcastle United was formed in 1892 with the merger of Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End, rivals in the Northern League, as Newcastle West End had fallen into financial difficulties. Success was rapid for Newcastle United and they won their first league title in 1904/05 followed by more league titles in 1906-07 and 1908/09. The FA Cup followed in 1909/10. Success along with the lack of transportation and lack of nearby competition gave Newcastle United a strong base for fans. Sadly, Newcastle United would win the league title just once more, in 1926/27, but the FA Cup brought success on the club with victories in 1923/24, 1931/32, 1950/51, 1951/52 and 1954/55. The brilliant and storied history of success at St. James' Park was over after 1955 and no domestic silverware would be won unless you count the Texaco Cup.
Still, even without silverware there was little competition for fans. The closest rivals are Sunderland, a mere ten miles away, and the Tyne-Wear derbies are heated events that pit city against city for the bragging rights of the county. Most southerners will look at Middlesbrough as a local for Newcastle thanks to the lack of teams "up norf" but Middlesbrough plays a hefty 34 miles away and is not considered local!
With a huge fan base, surely Newcastle would have been primed for success both fiscally and on the pitch. There is no doubt that the fans let their feelings known. The highest attendance in Newcastle history is 68,386 for the match against Chelsea in 1930. Why did so many Geordies show up for this one match? The fans showed up in huge numbers to welcome their former hero Hughie Gallacher who was the club's most prolific scorer (143 goals in 174 games) but had been sold to Chelsea! Queue the mass hysteria and attendance. In fact, many thousands of fans were unable to get inside the stadium and were locked outside.
Could this event have shaped the club's managerial policy into pleasing the fans at all costs? Since 1930, only two managers have had tenures of ten years or more; Stan Seymour and Joe Harvey, who departed in 1975. Since Joe's departure, Newcastle have had 16 managers including such high profile figures as Osvaldo Ardiles, Kevin Keegan (twice), Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit and Sir Bobby Robson. In fact, Newcastle is already on their sixth manager this century. This must-win to appease the fans who still believe the club is massive is finally killing the club in this period of high financial risk.
Run the club by appeasing the fans? Mike Ashley has certainly tried! In September last year, Ashley tried to wear his Alan Smith number 17 Newcastle shirt in the corporate box at Sunderland without permission to show the fans his true colours. After being denied, he sat in the away end and tried to buy all of the fellow "fans" a pint of lager at half-time. These gimmicks haven't worked for him as they were not complimented by success on the pitch and the fans now want the "outsider" gone.
For his part, Ashley has been able to make himself an easy target for the fans by becoming a PR nightmare and embarrassing the club. From partying in New York and buying 175 bottles of Crystal champagne, to snubbing Dubai investors, who had low-balled his anticipated selling price, by missing a scheduled meeting with them to drink with Dennis Wise, his Director of Football, in the nearby Bahri Bar, he's played his part.
The club is still in debt and still owes millions on transfer fees while current commercial deals were paid up front and spent before Ashley bought the club. Ashley bought a dog with fleas and did everything to keep the club's number one asset happy; the fans.
Mike Ashley has now hired London-based Seymour Pierce to sell the club and wants an unreasonable figure of ₤480 million. This is far more than the Dubai investors are willing to pay although there is a Nigerian outfit out there willing to buy the club. Let's hope Ashley pays attention to their needs of his initial wiring of money to a bank account in Abuja.
Until the fans step away from this "massive club" demand, Newcastle will continue with quick fixes that will never work. Kevin Keegan was never going to be the answer and neither will Alan Shearer. A new owner is obviously needed but the owner must place the fans second to the club before embarking on the business of finding the right manager who knows which players he needs to make the club tick. The club must break tradition and think long-term.

How to get your own email domain name with Hotmail aka Outlook.com for free
1In my previous article on getting your own email domain name, I advised running it on Gmail service. At the time, Google provided a free Google Apps service (aka Google Standard Edition, aka Google Apps Free Edition). But the service has since discontinued as off December 7, 2012.

Tigers Use Small Tamil Children in Switzerland for Propaganda and Fund Raising |
Mittwoch, 10 September 2008 | |
Following their military set back in the face of the Sri Lankan security forces, The LTTE, one of the world's most ruthless terrorist organizations, according to the FBI, has increased its propaganda and fund raising events in the countries in the West. In funding its separatist-terrorist war in Sri Lanka over the past quarter century, the LTTE has largely been dependent on the financial support (obtained often by force) of the Tamil Diaspora in these countries. Recently, an LTTE front organization, Tamil Art and Culture Organisation in Threau, Switzerland, along with LTTE administered Tamil schools in the area, had staged a drama. This drama had been designed to rouse and inculcate Tamil sentiments and violence among the younger generation of the Tamil Diaspora in Switzerland. The LTTE partisans had tried to do this by making small Tamil children – who were as young as 8 years and have probably never set foot in Sri Lanka where the LTTE is waging its secessionist-terrorist war against the Sri Lankan state-, carry dummies of sophisticated weapons like RPG's, Mortar tubes, Machine guns, etc. Photographs of this event are given below. At the same time, the LTTE agents in Europe continue to raise funds for their terrorist organization. They urge the Diaspora to help Tamils in the war-torn north by contributing to the Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO) - an NGO which is banned in many countries due to its close links with the LTTE. While pro-LTTE TV and radio channels like GTV (Global Tamil vision, earlier Thenral TV), CTR (Canadian Tamil Radio), IBC are engaged in making this request, pro-LTTE Western radio stations have also reportedly broadcast a similar request by TNA MPs and the head of TRO, 'Regi', living in Wanni. Some of these media air live talk shows with Tamil people from Wanni, during which the latter would request money from the Diaspora for the Tamil cause. The amount of money donated and the names of the donors are also announced during these live shows. The LTTE had used this method of collecting money during the post-Tsunami period. Due to lack of proper supervision, the terrorist organization has so far managed to raise large sums of money for its secessionist war in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it's necessary that the authorities of the respective countries stay vigilant and take necessary action to prevent the LTTE from continuing to use the Tamil Diaspora and dupe the generous, but sometimes ignorant, Westerners to further its own malefic intentions. |

Wonder if the poll actually means something.
You certainly won't catch the console gamers who just use the thing to well... play games instead of playing internet fora.
ps3 first then i will get a pc version.
Yeah, but Latin should be no ones' first language. Seeing as it's dead and all. I was just joshing him.
No surprises here as to the results of this poll. I just hope the game is moderately successful on consoles to prove the market for such games does exist. I think either way, this game is going to do immensely well on the PC: Consoles? That's going to be interesting.
PC first and hopefully an aspyr coded MAC version!
still hoping they'll do it and that they'll handle it as with civ5:
bouth PC version and got the MAC version for free, as soon as it was available...maybe was my deluxe digital edition bonus or something?!

Following a December employment report that showed moderate hiring, fixed mortgage rates rose to an eight-week high this week, Freddie Mac reported Jan. 10 in its weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
The 30-year fixed-rate rose 0.06 percentage points this week to 3.40 percent (down from 3.89 percent a year ago). The 15-year fixed-rate increased by 0.02 percent to 2.66 percent (down from 3.23 percent a year ago).
The one-year adjustable-rate mortgage climbed 0.03 percent to 2.60 percent (down from 2.76 percent a year ago). The five-year Treasury-indexed adjustable-rate decreased 0.04 percentage points to 2.67 percent (down from 2.82 percent a year ago).
"Fixed mortgage rates increased slightly following a positive employment report for December," Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a news release. "The economy added 155,000 jobs, above the consensus market forecast, and November's job growth was revised upward by another 24,000 workers. This helped keep the unemployment rate steady at 7.8 percent, the lowest since December 2008," he said. "For all of 2012, 1.86 million jobs were created and represented the largest annual gain since 2006."

When Blessed John Paul II launched the project he called the new evangelization, he made it clear that it was aimed above all at reviving the ancient faith of an increasingly faithless West: "countries and nations where religion and the Christian life were formerly flourishing," now menaced by a "constant spreading of religious indifference, secularism and atheism."

BLU Gorilla is GREAT!!! I keep going back! Go see Brad he's awesome and is very talented!
This mall has the only IMAX in the Charleston area. It also has the largest Belk & Dillard's locations in Charleston. Centrally located, easily accessible and convenient to all areas of Charleston.
Terrific company downtown to see good theatre. They do a lot with the smaller space and it is very comfortable. Creative sets and lighting and quality productions.
Threshold isn't just a "location" for other companies to use, it's a theatre company that produces quality productions and doesn't charge an arm and a leg to go see them. In fact, I saw that their latest production, The Exact Center of the Universe, a beautifully written dramady (drama and comedy), is only $10. Plus they always have a freebie preview show. The theatre building itself is small but well appointed with comfortable chairs, and all the bells and whistles which go along with great productions. At Threshold you don't get bare minimum sets and all white lighting. They truly try to give you scenic and lighting production elements along with terrific acting and quality plays. If you haven't visited Threshold Repertory Theatre, you are missing out! There's a couple of great places to eat close by too and a chocolate shop. What more could you want?!
I had my wedding rehearsal dinner/party at the Maritime Center on Halloween of 2008 and it was a blast! I will never forget the hours we spent "sittin on the dock of the bay" living the moontime...
What a great way to get exercise!! Zumba is really a party. Kelly is abosolutely wonderful. She makes it fun while you have a great workout. Though I am a senior, I hang in with the others in the class. It makes me feel young physically and mentally.
Deuce Theater scores again. If you believe in having great theater in Charleston you need to go to Duncan Storm.
I love the Recreation Department! It is wonderful and Beautiful. They have lots of events that you can go to, and the people that work there are so sweet and nice! When you are feeling hungry they have vending machines! So bring your Money and shoot some hoops at the Isle of Palms Recreation Department!
Mixson is a new urbanist, LEED Certified community build through the vision of The I'ON Group and funded by Jamestown Properties.

Mixson also has a calendar full of exciting local events for this Spring & Summer including The Charleston Craft Bee, Movies in May & Student Art Shows! Check us out at www.mixson.com
Patriots Point is a one of a kind location. You have beautiful views of the Charleston Harbor, Ravenel Bridge, Down Town Charleston and The Old Village. The atmosphere is relaxing and laid back. It's the Stay-cation of Mount Pleasant.
This class is fantastic! I would recommend to anyone!
This is a GREAT place to listen to local Acoustic music! No bar noise, holds about 90 people. Sit at small tables that seat 4 people. Good refreshments. Very close to the performer -- superb interaction with the audience -- and ONLY $10!!!
I haven't been to the square onion in years - and for no particular reason other than I'm not usually nearby at lunchtime. But it was always delicious and the first summer they opened I was adicted to their Caprese Sandwiches. Heavens knows how many of them I ate in those 3 months. Anyway, with the recent weather having been hotter than the hinges on the back door of hell, I thought a cold summer sandwich would be just the thing. So, I stroll into the Square Onion with my mouth already watering. Then, I notice the daily special, and I ordered that instead. It was the most delicious heirloom tomato sandwich! There were juicy and flavorful bright yellow heirloom tomatoes layered with softened goat cheese, fresh basil, really good quality olive oil, and balsamic vineger. All of this lovliness was inside a perfect roll -- soft and chewy on the inside, crusty and lightly toasted on the outside. I had planned on eating 1/2 today and saving the other for tomorrow, yet I found myself stuffing my face until the entire sandwich was gone. I am now sitting back in my office chair, groaning, and wondering how I'm going to face a full afternoon of work. By the way, the side I chose today was edamame salad. It was solidly good, light - yet filling, and so much healthier than usual side choices that accompany sandwiches. So, 5 Stars to the Square Onion!!! I'll be back next week!!
Both Muddy Waters provide some of the best coffee and just plain good fellowship than those other places. Prices are right and the west ashley one offers great sandwiches. Visit one today!
I love the Yorktown! This WWII ship was in the Battle of Midway. They have an amazing Medal of Honor Museum on board..
Loved it! Will be back next year. Ken, get a grip! You obviously didn't get a good ride on the mechanical bull. Glad you will not be there next year.
Enter a portal into a studio/gallery vibrating with passion and consciousness from the core! Finally "its" arrived in Charleston... and on Broad Street!!!!!
Prepare to be enlightened at this fabulous studio...what a treat...thanks Atmah Ja for setting up shop here!
Saw this on opening night. Definitely as good as I remember Cirque being

Work your way up and then dyno to a large jug. Then up to the top. Can be done static as well but it takes more skill.
Just left of the lieback rail at the start of the lieback.
This one got harder when the launching hold broke.. used to be a flat horizontal incut for both hands. For bonus points go both hands!
More dead point than dyno. V0+
Why is everyone rating this in 5.10?? Not a hard climb unless you count for the polished foot hold, but still.
I agree hands are good, I don't usually dyno this, more fun to work feet up and stretch for the ledge.
It's fun. Love this boulder in general. Did this problem for the first time barefoot. It's not as slick as it seems...I lost a good size piece of my toe pad, bleeding, on that smear.
V0- at best
Crux I think is getting to holds to dyno from. slippery feet. V0+ Can you change the rating to V scale. I know old books have YDS for Santee but lets use MP to change that.
