We forgot to signup, what do we do?
Yes, it is possible, depending on the numbers we have already signed up for each division. Please see the Registration page.
What are my options if my child is put on a Waiting List?
First of all, make sure you pre-register. See the Registration Page.
If you had to register late, you will then be notified where your child stands on the Waiting List. Many times, players drop out and your child will be added to a team. There are also other regions nearby if there is no space in Region 88.
Why do we need to sign up so early?
Here are just a few of the reasons signups are held in the spring.
- So as many players who want to, can play. Other regions wait until summer to start registration, and many players are not able to sign up in time.
- So we can secure field permits for practices and games. We compete with other groups for fields, so need to secure the permits months ahead of time.
- So multiple clinics can be scheduled and coaches and referees can be certified.
- So we purchase enough uniforms and other equipment.
- So new players can be evaulated and balanced teams formed.
- So we set up a schedule as soon as we can.
We found out we cannot play this season. How do I get a refund?

wonderful ingredients, without overly elaborate presentation. flavors all in harmony. warm and cheerful servers and great vibe in this small neighborhood restaurant. lots of price points for those on a budget. loved the whitefish fritters to start. beet and chopped salads were excellent. terrific veal saltimbocca. apple pie very nice but not as harmonious as other dishes, I found it had too many disparate flavors including otherwise excellent bourbon ice cream. Sunday evenings there is live bluegrass trio, excellent music! Sunday brunch menu noted but not tried yet. there is a backstory to the strange name of this restaurant printed on the menu.
We went on their Thursday night BYOB night which turned out to be an outstanding bargain. The wait staff was terrific as was the food and general ambience.
Wonderful spot. The food was amazing in taste and presentation. So much pride in their product and very welcoming. I can not wait to be back. The staff/service was top notch. Amazing how a first visit makes you feel like you'd had been going there for years.
Got there 2 hour early but they accommodated us at the bar and we were able to eat. Friendly bartender had us taste few drinks we had asked us about and were very attentive while dining. Great ginger carrot soup, baby octopus, even seemingly mundane chop salad was unique in flavor. We found a great place to sit and drink slowly for hours.
There were four of us and we had a wonderful time. We all had the 3 course prix-fixe dinner. The food was delicious. The variety of flavors were outstanding. I loved the pate compagne and the brandade fritters. The walleye was cooked to perfection. The chocolate souffle was the best I've ever had. . Our waiter was terrific. He advised us and answered all our questions about items on the menu. He was very attentive and helpful. The staff was very accommodating. This is one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. We will highly recommend this restaurant to our friends and look forward to returning.
well presented restaurant, warm and welcoming host, our server was outstanding, hospitable. he knew every dish on the menu, how it was prepared, how it tasted, he did a great job the entire evening, engaging us in conversations and even sold us on returning this sunday for brunch as he could describe the food in such great detail and with such passion! this place is definatley a neighborhood gem.
My wife and I went here for our anniversary, and it was a perfect night. Great local food and drinks. It was comfortable and delicious. Even the coffee was wonderful. I had the walleye in a Boston Clam Chowder sauce that was wonderful. Appetizers were fun and very tasty, fried pork skins and white fish fritters were a nice start. Great local cheeses were a great starter, smoked cheddar from Wisconsin was my favorite. The service was very attentive, fun, and very helpful. We are already planning on returning soon.
We were celebrating our anniversary & chose Browntrout because Chicago Magazine recommended it. It was delightful & we will surely return. Our waitperson was charming and very knowledgeable. I'm thinking going back for 1/2 price wine dinners is our next visit.
We started off with an order of the morels fried in lard. One of the best things in my entire life. I'm now willing to go to the country to search for them. Or just go back to Browntrout . Delicious meal, perfect, knowledgeable service. Great evening.
My third time at Browntrout-- all the staff remembered me and said hi :) Food consistently amazing, had the steak this time and it was cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese is incredible and even my friend who 'hates comfort food' loved my dish. We shared the smoked trout appetizer and both of us could have ate that all night long. She had fish with the most incredible lentils. The flavors pop and we both left with a food(ie) glow. So YUM. Still telling everyone to GO THERE
Serious and inventive food at a friendly, casual neighborhood place. They favor local growers and producers. The quality is very high and the taste sublime. Four of us went for the first time. We were extremely pleased with all of the food we had. The menu is small and changes. The signature trout dish was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, fun and very accommodating. Highly recommended for foodies.
We were repeat diners at Browntrout and brought some friends there for dinner on Sat. 05/18/13. Dinner was excellent. The mussels appetizer was terrific as usual. Very fresh and hearty portion. The entrees are delicious. The trout is superb. Burger is great. The GM was our server and was friendly, engaging and service was excellent. We ended up closing the restaurant that evening, and never felt rushed. Our friends will definitely be repeat diners as well.
We were celebrating my friend's birthday and found the atmosphere and menu most amazing! We shared several plates and were delighted with each. The staff accommodated our need to be out by a specific time and we were able to enjoy our time together. Everything was perfect!! My fourth time to Brown Trout and I cannot wait to go back!! Don't miss the shrimp cocktail and the risotto.
My husband and I enjoyed the unique flavors in the dishes at Browntrout. From the rhubarb martini, to the bread service, the fish, the wine, the pasta, vegetables - everything was delicious, flavorful and very,very fresh! Subtle blending of textures and flavors were well executed. Perfect serving sizes didn't overwhelm. The desert was light but flavorful and the coffee didn't disappoint. The ginger beer (non-alcoholic) was a revelation. Comfortable atmosphere and nicely appointed tables. Knowledgable, attentive, and friendly staff. A great balance. We were not disappointed. Final tab was very, very reasonable for the quality and variety of food. We will go back - soon!
Eating at Brown Trout is as close to perfect a dining experience as I can think of. The locally sourced food is tasty and imaginative without being overly 'precious', the service is attentive but not obsequious, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly and congenial - the kind of place where folks from the 'hood would come for a good evening out. We'll definitely be back!
I've had the chance to dine at Browntrout twice in the last month. Both times, the service and food were good (table service was a little slow, but we were not in a rush, so that was fine). Rather surprisingly, they only offer two or three fish entrees, but what they do have is very good indeed. The emphasis is on local or Midwest ingredients, even in the drink menu! It is definitely a spot that reflects the neighborhood (there were at least two or three families with children there when we went on a Saturday night), but it was not too loud or rambunctious, and the staff was truly helpful and genuine.
We had a completely delightful Sunday evening at Browntrout. It was our first time there, and service and friendliness greeted us at the door, and set a good tone for the meal. Although we came for the Sunday Chicken special, the fish menu captured us. We loved the mussels starter, trout and walleye entrees were creatively prepared and presented. For special approval, we cite that when friends of ours were seeking a table, when there were none available, our hostess accomodated all of us by letting us share the table with us at dessert and them at drinks! Worked out well for all.
Besides the great food and delicious desserts, the service was outstanding. Very people there dining seem very friendly and the staff are fun! We definitely will be back soon. Thank you!
First time here, four of us went for someone's birthday. First I love the fact they use all sustainably raised meats and veggies. We started out with the mussel app, pomme frites and a cheese plate. The mussels were PEI and of very good quality. The broth was tasty but thicker than I'm used to and not my favorite ever. Cheese plate had 3 aged cheeses of your choice and tasty breads and sauces. For entrees 3 of us ordered the trout with lentils and grilled asparagus, which was spectacular. My wife ordered the burger which I have to say was the only food item that was sub-par being kind of dry. Our waiter was fantastic, giving my wife a sample of wine, joking with us and at the end of the night giving us a free round of port. Loved it.
Browntrout was a great experience. The servers were welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. The wine list was great; there's something for any dish. The food was very good. Great place for formal group or intimate dining. I had a wonderful trout and both of my Guests had steak. Ones steak was great and the other was mediocre but this was due to the persons choice though I forget exactly which one it was. Overall I do recommend this place and will be going back again.
As the growing season moves local, the menu items are much more vibrant and lighter. Still have the old favorites but additions are welcome change to the winter menu. Great meal, great service ... get a number of smalls to share with your friends. Stop in for a light lunch or great dinner
A friend suggested this place. I looked at the menu and was a little uncertain as the items were unusual and it was hard to find a theme. Then I took the plunge and was I rewarded! The food is incredible. Everything we had was extraordinary. From the sous vide soft boiled egg and the oysters (perfect temperature, NO grit and all the liquor to the perfect soft shell crab. I can't wait to return. The service was also exceptional. Everyone covered all tables. Each server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and preparation. Very friendly. Don't miss Brown Trout.
Loved this place for brunch. My little guy loved the mac n cheese, and I had a bite or two myself. Ordered the cheese plate to share. The ricotta they make in house was awesome. Egg grinder was also great. They use primarily local foods in their menu, which I really admire. Hope to make it back to try dinner soon.
...and a great meal. The food was excellent. I had the warm asparagus salad and the pho bowl and my wife shared the brown trout with her aunt while her uncle had the signature burger. Everyone walked away happy. The service was outstanding, the ambience was wonderful and the outside space was very comfortable even though it was a little tight. Terrific variety for a relatively small menu and all in all a perfectly enjoyable evening. It is truly a neighborhood gem and I highly recommend it.
We stopped on the July 4th weekend & had a really great meal here, starting with some arancini & a tomato salad which were both really good. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe & served with the right amount of herbs, olive oil & some delicious fried cheese. I had a piece of walleye which was cooked to perfection - moist with a nice crispy skin. My partner had the pho, served with a nice selection of garnishes. This pho was a bit disappointing in that it was mostly broth - very few noodles & the meatballs & sliced meat were more a garnish than a substantial part of the meal. They could have easily been more generous. We finished our meal with strawberry shortbread, with a lime custard, a wonderful summer dessert.
Browntrout is a great neighborhood place with a great concept, great food and great service. We went on a Sunday (1/2 price bottles of wine & fun live music!) it was fairly busy but not packed, out waitress was happy to answer all of our questions about several of the entree's as some had ingredients we'd never had before, while her descriptions were very good the kitchen's execution was even better. Menu changes depending on what's fresh. Go you won't be dissapointed!
the food was wonderful. asparagus salad and heirloom tomato salads were amazing. I had the bucatini with goat shoulder - tasty, but portion was a bit on the small side friends had the trout and the other walleye - both loved them. the service was just fine - no complaints. the pace of the meal was good. décor is rather plain. looking forward to our next visit!!
Brountrout is easily one of the best restaurants in Chicago. I've been there multiple times for brunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. The only thing that surprises me is that it's not always jam packed with diners, because it should be. It doesn't have the location or the scene that appeal to some, but the service and quality & consistency of the food, which should matter more to diners than anything, are better than a vast majority of the restaurants I've been with similar fare. Go there. You'll have a new go to spot that won't break the bank and won't require an advanced reservation.
Great food...great recommendations by the wait staff who were outstanding. Friends in from Portland loved it. Will definitely be back as we are in the neighborhood!
A few blocks south of Lincoln square in a storefront, had a great meat and cheese plate to start, then small plates and entrees that were all good. They have a small selection of wines by the glass and more by the bottle. The ones we had were good. The fallen chocolate soufflé was outstanding. A special occasion place for us.
I have been going to Brown Trout for years. Highly recommended. Everyone I bring there loves it.
Celebrating our 8th anniversary here for the 3rd time. Clearly we like it. Great price for the quality of food you get. Never been disappointed.
I loved the choice of fresh, local ingredients and how they were brought together for amazing flavors!
Overall, we had a very nice experience. As we were unable to get the time slot we wanted, though, we were confused about why, when the restaurant was not busy at all. My son said his steak was one of the best he'd had. The oysters were fresh and delicious. My salmon was very good, though I was disappointed not to have my usual trout. We were most impressed by our waiter. He was friendly, helpful with wine selection, didn't hover, low key but attentative. We'll be back.
I've lived in the neighborhood 2.5 years and finally decided to checkout browntrout. The atmosphere was great and the food was very good. I will be back.
We had a lovely dining experience here with a jazz band playing which added to the ambiance. The service was terrific and the food was a bit small in portions but delicious overall. The unique homemade sodas are a nice change and very fresh tasting. We were visiting Chicago when we looked up this restaurant and decided to try it based on the menu. It is north of the city but we would go again if in the area in the future.
Browntrout is in a neighborhood I didn't expect to have become so pleasant in the last few years, with many pubs and small restaurants up Lincoln. The restaurant doesn't have a particularly trendy or innovative interior, but the staff is very welcoming and low key. The waitstaff was knowledgeable about wine and food options and didn't rush us. I could have had 3 or 4 of the salad options, they were so interesting. I will return again to sample more items on the menu.
The perfect combination of a neighborhood/family feel and top of the line cooking.
Just a note to highlight that despite the fact we were 15 minutes late, that one of our party required immediate attention and that we made multiple off-menu requests we were never made to feel we were being the difficult party that we so obviously were. Thanks very much.
The restaurant is environmentally conscious with an emphasis on local and sustainable food. We had a group of four and everyone was pleased with the dishes. Waiters were friendly and enthusiastic and the restaurant was quite enough to engage in uninterrupted conversation.
Farm to Table extraordinaire.The atmosphere is a modern, sleek dining room with all the comforts of home. The scent of smoked wood and the communal table is reminiscent of an "on the farm" dining experience. The food is amazingly comforting yet with an elegant twist.The menu/cocktails change with the seasons, and my Bratwurst Dinner was Octoberfest on a plate! Our cravings for a Fall Meal was scumptiously fulfilled. We began with the mellow smokey flavors of the Mac and Cheese with Bacon (enough for three-four people to share) and completed our dining experience with Rice Pudding/Concord Grapes/Glazed Pecan sauce, and a decedant Fallen Chocolate Souffle surrounded by a candied apple and caramel sauce.Great service/knowledged in winepairing
Great neighborhood restaurant! The mac and cheese and the walleye were pefect!!
We had a great experience. The food was excelent and unique. Wait staff was very helpful with service and suggestions. The recorded music was a little loud but the Bluegrass band was excellent.
The bluegrass music totally redeemed the fried chicken that had way too much rosemary in it :)
We always enjoy our dinner at Browntrout. Good food, comfortable setting, a good kids menu and attentive service. I recommend for everyone.
This was our first visit to Browntrout, despite living relatively nearby. We had a 5:00 reservation so we could get to a 7:00 concert that night and were seated immediately. Our delightful server told us about the half-price wine offers and the fried chicken special for Sunday nights. It sounded so good that all of us ordered it. Even better, it lived up to the description and was moist, flavorful and delicious. I believe there were some herbs mixed into the beer batter but they were quite subtle and added some good flavor. We also tried a delicious selection of cheeses & the parker house rolls. The latter were the only thing that was a bit disappointing. You get four rolls for $6 but they were just basic dinner rolls. We will be back!
My husband and I chose Browntrout because of their sustainability philosophy, and the meal was fantastic!! Outstanding! I would highly recommend it to anyone. There were families there, so it is kid friendly. On Sunday nights, a blue grass band plays, and they were really good. I really enjoyed the music. I would go back in a second.
I had been waiting for a Sunday night when I could take my family to Browntrout for their chicken dinner; it was well worth the wait and we will return. Our meal started with the dollar oysters and kale salad. Two of us had the chicken special which came with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and one had a mushroom risotto. We added a half off bottle of wine to our meal. Certainly recommend getting a side of the rolls as my son who watches what he eats ate two. The live bluegrass music is a delightful bonus and keeps the room vibrant. Where can three people eat an outstanding meal prepared from locally sourced foods accompanied by wine with excellent service and live music for one hundred dollars? At Browntrout.
My husband and I had dinner at browntrout last Sunday and were very happy with the entire experience. Excellent service, delicious and interesting food, and a chef who obviously takes great pride in his craft.
3 of us made a last minute reservation for Sunday dinner. What a find! Sunday night is fried chicken night, and a half price wine special, featuring a nice range from the full list (which features well chosen wine at every price level), adds tremendous value. We enjoyed the autumn green and wedge salads, crispy walleye, hanger steak and the aforementioned fried chicken and moved on to apple fritters and rice pudding with roasted grapes (both fabulous). Lots of restaurants are touting their local farm sources and seasonal cooking these days, but Browntrout really delivers. Highly, highly recommended.

Hi guys, I think most of you have either already stopped by my ongoing log
From FAT to PHAT, my journey so far...
or I may have invited you too, but you may remember that I have been threatening to run an AI stack, well it turns out that I only have one bottle of LG's formadrol left for PCT following an 8 week Natadrol run, so thinking that perhaps rather than buying another bottle of formD, I would maybe select some AI products?
So thinking is natural Test boost/estrogen reduction to extend PCT out and also run a nice clean mini cycle, thinking Test/Stoked/HGHPro for about 4 weeks or SWOLE, but you seem to have so many great products and I fancy giving them a go - I can't decide?!?
My goal remains cut and lose fat.. Open to suggestions guys
My next scheduled cycle would be 8 weeks out would be USP based (I already have it sitting in the cupboard PM/recreate/pslin/asteroid stack)

9/24/2008: Sudan Hearing - Opening Remarks of Felice D. Gaer |
Sudan's Unraveling Peace and the Challenge to U.S. Policy
September 24, 2008
Opening Remarks by USCIRF Chair Felice D. Gaer
As Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, I would like to thank you all for coming to today's important hearing, entitled "Sudan's Unraveling Peace and the Challenge to U.S. Policy."
The bipartisan, federal U.S. Commission has monitored events in Sudan since being established by federal law 10 years ago. We continue to be concerned that the substantial efforts made to bring peace to Sudan-through the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005-are in jeopardy and that Sudan all too easily could slip into its third North-South civil war since independence in 1956.
American diplomacy placed a crucial role in bringing about the CPA, which ended Sudan's last civil war. During the conflict, religion was used as a means of enflaming and mobilizing Sudanese against their fellow citizens. The Commission called Sudan the world's most violent abuser of religious freedom.
The CPA charted the paths that Sudanese leaders and international mediators alike would have to travel to bring the country from a tenuous cease-fire to a lasting peace. The CPA provides for democratic accountability through free and fair elections at all levels of government, for rule of law, for the sharing of Sudan's oil wealth, and for respect for internationally recognized human rights, including freedom of religion or belief The CPA is the key to Sudan's viability as a country. If the CPA fails, then Sudan will fail. The consequences would reverberate across Africa.
The United States carefully shepherded the negotiations leading to the CPA. The prospect of a new civil war in Sudan should awaken in all of us Americans a new resolve, a new commitment, to overcome the obstacles to lasting peace.
Key provisions of the CPA have not been enacted, due mostly to the intransigence and duplicity of President Omar al-Bashir. In government-controlled areas of the North, the religious freedom and other human rights protections agreed to in the CPA and enshrined in Sudan's Interim National Constitution have not brought significant changes in the government's practice of enforcing its interpretation of Islam to the detriment of those holding other views.
The brutal Northern assault against the contested oil-rich region of Abyei this past spring was an urgent reminder of the fragility of the CPA and highlighted that its implementation must be a higher priority of the Administration and international community.
The United States has to reinvigorate its involvement in ensuring implementation of the CPA. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has demanded that the U.S. Special Envoy on Sudan, Ambassador Richard Williamson-whom we are honored to have with us today-has adequate personnel and other support across the government that is needed to fulfill his mandate.
The current schedule for elections in 2009 and a referendum in 2011 on the South's political future cannot be delayed. They should ensure that the balloting represents a true expression of popular will and that their results are accepted and implemented.
New strategies to reach these goals are desperately needed. What is required is a recommitment of American leadership, and a realistic assessment of the challenge. Some of the urgent questions we must address frankly are:
We think this is a challenge to U.S. policy and we look forward to hearing our distinguished witnesses' views of what must be done.
We will hear from three panels. The first, with Ambassador Richard Williamson and Earl Gast, Senior Deputy Assistant Administration for Africa of USAID, will focus on the efficacy of recent U.S. policy.
That will be followed by two panels of experts. The first, looking at new policy directions, features Susan Page, the Director for Southern and East Africa of the National Democratic Institute. Ms. Rice was a member of the mediation team that supported the negotiations leading to the CPA. The second panel also includes Khataza Gondwe, Research and Advocacy Officer for Sub-Saharan Africa of Christian Solidarity Worldwide, and Kenneth Bacon, the president of Refugees International.
The third panel will concentrate on alternative U.S. policy directions for the future. It is made up of: John Prendergast, Co-Chair of the Enough Project to end genocide and crimes against humanity; Ted Dagne, Specialist in African Affairs of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division of the Congressional Research Service; Dr. Douglas Johnson, former international expert to the Abyei Boundaries Commission; and Eliseo Neuman, Director for Africa, American Jewish Committee.
Our first witness is Ambassador Richard Williamson, the presidential Special Envoy for Sudan, and I would like to express my deep gratitude that he could make time in his schedule to make this appearance. Before he delivers his testimony, however, I would like to note that we are expecting several Members of Congress to take part in this hearing. Senator Russ Feingold, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Africa, was hoping to be here today, but he is chairing an Africa Subcommittee hearing right now. Nevertheless, he has asked that his statement be included in today's proceedings.
I also need to point to our time constraints here and ask each witness to summarize their prepared remarks so that we'll have enough time for questions from the Commissioners.

Hamas denies involvement in Syria, Egypt fighting
The Gaza Strip's Hamas Prime Minister, Ismail Haniya, on Saturday denied reports that his group has been involved in fighting outside of Palestine.
The Gaza Strip's Hamas Prime Minister, Ismail Haniya, on Saturday denied reports that his group has been involved in fighting outside of Palestine.
Hamas security forces in Gaza have been rounding up young men and forcing them to get haircuts on grounds that their hair is inappropriate.
Gaza's third international marathon has been cancelled after the ruling Hamas movement refused to allow women to run.
Three weeks later, Gaza City has almost returned to what passes for normal in this overcrowded, impoverished and war-ravaged strip of land.
Thousands cheer claims of victory in last month's war and warnings that more Israeli soldiers could be kidnapped.
Although Hamas leadership is in hiding, Israel's missiles have failed to obliterate its authority, writes Chris McGreal in Beit Lahiya.
An explosion has hit a public bus in the heart of Tel Aviv, wounding at least 10 people, says Israel's ambulance service.
The force used by Israel in its attacks on Hamas militants in Gaza is "disproportionate", the department of international relations said.
Maayan Lubell, Nidal Al-Mughrabi
The UN chief has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the US Secretary of State has headed to the region with a peace message.
The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza during Israel's on-going offensive reached 100 on Monday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said.
We look at the last week of airstrikes between Israel and Palestine, which has turned into the bloodiest period of conflict in Gaza for some time.
Douglas Hamilton, Nidal Al-Mughrabi
There are theories among Israelis and Palestinians about what has propelled the two sides towards their second war in four years.
Israeli strikes on Sunday killed 21 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the bloodiest day of its bombing campaign over the Gaza Strip.
An Iranian lawmaker has denied his country had supplied Palestinian Islamist militants with missiles capable of hitting Israel's commercial centre.
Israeli strikes in Gaza have pushed the death toll to 40 as the US claims militant rocket fire is a 'precipitating factor' in the conflict.
Israel was condemned on Thursday by much of the Arab world while securing Western backing and pressing its biggest air assault on Gaza for years.
In Gaza, the emergence of militant organisations beyond the control of the ruling Hamas make the consequences of Israel's operation unpredictable.
Five Gazans were killed in Israeli air strikes as militants fired around 250 rockets over the border, killing three Israelis, officials have said.
Israel has killed the military commander of Hamas in an airstrike on the Gaza Strip, bringing the two sides to the brink of a possible new war.

Sean Combs, whose swagger comes from overcoming bed-wetting
Take heart, bed-wetters: The ultra-cool Sean "P. Diddy" Combs left some sheets soggy during childhood, too.
The 43-year-old rapper and entrepreneur shared his experience with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres in an interview that aired yesterday.
"I grew up as a Kool-Aid kid" and never drank water, Combs said while plugging his new water brand, AQUAhydrate. "I used to pour a half-pound of sugar into the Kool-Aid. Besides it having me bouncing off the walls, I used to be a bed- wetter. So I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed, and the first day that I had a sleepover and I didn't wet the bed, it was, like, one of the greatest days of my life. It gave me the swagger that I have today."
He advised: "There is something about sugar that makes you wet the bed. So to all you boys and girls out there, as Muhammad Ali used to tell you (to) brush your teeth, I'm telling you to drink water, OK? It will stop you from wetting the bed, and you won't be embarrassed in front of the girls at sleepovers."
When DeGeneres asked about girls sleeping over, Combs replied: "I grew up in the 'hood. Whoever would take the kids, that's who was sleeping over."

"This analysis is particularly timely, coming as government representatives gather to discuss climate change in Durban. It illustrates the scale of Europe's commitment to transform its energy sector," Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director, said. "However, with a concerted effort we can and should go even further to phase in renewable energy sources. Burning fossil fuels threaten the stability of our climate, and our most recent analysis has shown that pollution from coal and gas power plants is costing Europe many billions of euros a year in health costs."
European Union Member States have individual targets, and must submit National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) to the European Commission outlining how they expect to meet their 2020 renewable target, including the technology mix they intend to use and the trajectory they will follow.
Key growth projections between 2010 and 2020 include:
Despite these growth rates, the 2020 targets will be met by just a narrow margin according to the projections, highlighting the challenge facing Europe as it aims to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels.
Approximately 43 % of all renewable energy production is planned for heating and cooling, with biomass accounting for 80 % renewable heating and cooling output. Transport will make up the smallest proportion of renewable energy consumption (12 %), but is expected to be the fastest growing element between 2005 and 2020.
The update to the database comes a year after EU Member States submitted information describing how they would meet their targets in 2020. The accompanying report has also been updated, with the latest information for 20 Member States, additional data on biomass and data on land use for energy crops.
The report was written for the EEA by the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN).
The EU climate and energy package has three main goals for 2020: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 %; improving energy efficiency by 20%; and generating 20 % of energy consumption from renewable energy. In order to support the renewable energy objective, each Member State is requested to submit a plan (NREAP) detailing how they will reach their individual targets.

The contradiction is clear. We are using our planet's resources faster than they can replenish themselves but we want to continue consuming and producing ever more. We not only risk running out of vital resources, we are actually making our home less and less habitable.
We are losing species and destroying natural habitats at alarming rates. The average global average temperature has increased by almost 0.8 °C since the industrial revolution. It is projected to increase by more than 2 °C, possibly up to 6 °C in some regions, by the end of this century.
Higher temperatures and more frequent weather extremes will put extra strain on our natural systems. Currently water-rich areas could face water scarcity, putting more strain on productive agricultural land forced to feed a growing global population. Like the rest of the planet, Europe will certainly need to adapt to climate change.
Is it possible to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels and opt for clean energy sources to fuel our lifestyles? One small community in Denmark shows the way to meet its energy demand through innovative policies tapping into local and sustainable energy sources.
Since the early 1980s, Thisted municipality in north-west Jutland, Denmark, has been using a creative mix of sustainable energy sources to provide heating and power for its 46 000 residents. In recognition of Thisted's contribution to renewable energy, it was awarded the European Solar Prize in 2007.
"We use our citizens actively, we use our local companies and we use the technological development that exists in the field," says Torben Juul, Technical Director Thisted Municipality.
The community now derives its energy off-grid, with renewable sources more than meeting its power needs and providing around 85 % of its heating. The energy comes from the sun, wind, geothermal power and biomass from incineration of agricultural, industrial and household waste.
Around 80 % of the electricity produced in Thisted comes from the region's 226 wind turbines, and the remaining 20 % from biogas plants that run on different types of waste. Many of the turbines and biogas plants are privately owned or co-owned, but there's also a municipal plant that produces power from an unusual combination of household waste combustion, straw incineration and geothermal power. In fact, the municipality produces so much electricity that it is even able to sell the surplus back into the central grid. The profits are fed back to the local health and education systems.
"We are producing energy using resources that are right under our noses." Lars Toft-Hansen, chairman of Thisted district heating
The keys to the municipality's success are strong political will, an enthusiastic local green organisation, and the ability to involve the community as stakeholders. As well as creating a clean environment, the Thisted system makes good business sense for everyone concerned. Farmers derive an income from their plants and wind turbines, and from selling their straw and other agricultural by-products. The heating bills for inhabitants of Thisted are a third of what they would be if oil were used.
Thisted's approach to transport is innovative, too. Emissions from school buses are reduced by staggering the school opening times, so that one school bus can drop off children from different schools in time to start their day. This and other measures have enabled the community to cut their CO2 emissions by almost 90 000 tonnes annually and they have further pledged to reduce emissions by up to 3 % a year until 2025.
Everything is constantly monitored and evaluated, whether it's transport, electricity or heating. For example, one planned future investment will be to connect up the heat producing plants in the area, so that the community can shift between whichever form of energy is most economical to produce at any given time.
Thisted has succeeded in turning the power of nature to its advantage, and has created a model that could be adapted in any region of the world — using local drive and initiative, and the energy right on their doorstep.
"Why isn't everyone else doing what Thisted is doing?" Jeremy Rifkin, President, Foundation of Economic Trends

There are two broad classes of errors that optparse has to worry about:
programmer errors and user errors. Programmer errors are usually
erroneous calls to parse.add_option()
, e.g. invalid option strings,
unknown option attributes, missing option attributes, etc. These are
dealt with in the usual way: raise an exception (either
or TypeError
) and let the program crash.
Handling user errors is much more important, since they are guaranteed
to happen no matter how stable your code is. optparse can automatically
detect some user errors, such as bad option arguments (passing "-n
where -n takes an integer argument), missing arguments
at the end of the command line, where -n takes an argument
of any type). Also, you can call parser.error()
to signal an
application-defined error condition:
(options, args) = parser.parse_args() [...] if options.a and options.b: parser.error("options -a and -b are mutually exclusive")
In either case, optparse handles the error the same way: it prints the program's usage message and an error message to standard error and exits with error status 2.
Consider the first example above, where the user passes "4x"
to an
option that takes an integer:
$ /usr/bin/foo -n 4x usage: foo [options] foo: error: option -n: invalid integer value: '4x'
Or, where the user fails to pass a value at all:
$ /usr/bin/foo -n usage: foo [options] foo: error: -n option requires an argument
optparse-generated error messages take care always to mention the option
involved in the error; be sure to do the same when calling
from your application code.
If optparse's default error-handling behaviour does not suite your needs,
you'll need to subclass OptionParser and override exit()

Name a star gift box
I bought this Name a Star Gift Box for my mum for her to name a star for my dad who has died. She thought it was a lovely and unusual gift. She's so very pleased with it.
Name a Star
The Name a Star Gift Box came as described, and in perfect condition. The item made a perfect gift for my boyfriend and he loved it!
Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas, named the star after both of us so we could always be together even when hes away. Its a brilliant purchase, would recommend to anyone.
Name a Star
An amazing purchase. Fantastic. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic Gift
I bought one of these Name a Star Gift Boxes for each of my Grandchildren (and for the one due in February). I thought it would be something unusual for them and a present that will literally last them a lifetime. They were delighted and so was the mum to be. The 7 year old was really excited about it and the fact that he will be able to find "his" star on a map and be able to show his school friends. The parents are doing the registering (the process seems quite easy) and helping the grandchildren choose or make up names. All-in-all I am very happy with my purchases!
Perfect Gift
I bought the Name A Star Gift Box for a friend's birthday and he loved it. It comes in a really lovely presentation tin and has all the information you need to choose your star. Would recommend this as a perfect gift for anyone who has an interest in the night sky!
Can't even see star
Really interesting presents and gives you plenty facts on your star, however disappointing that our star can't be seen by the human eye
Name a Star Gift Box
Name a Star Gift Box is an excellent and really lovely present to give to a loved one, friend or even to keep for yourself. To get the chance to forever have an actual Star named after someone and the price of the gift is very reasonable too. Excellent gift from an excellent site, I love it.
Name a star gift box
I purchased this product as a gift for someone The product came in a nice tin case and looking at the details of the contents, it seems like a nice idea as a gift to someone at a reasonable price.
Great idea for a gift.
Very Impressed
The Name a Star Gift Box looks great, can't wait to give it to them and their face! Such a sweet and romantic gift.
Great gift
I brought this as a gift for a friend who has been a real "star" though a really tough year, and it was very well received. This is a great gift, that truly is out of this world!
Name a star
As a Secret Santa present, the Name a Star Gift Box was out of the ordinary and different. It will be very much appreciated.
Name a star gift box
Great idea for a Christmas present.
Name a Star Gift Box
A lovely flat metal box with a name a star label on. When you open it it's just papers in a plastic bag which is a bit disappointing. It could have had a little more colour or something to it. I knew you went online to name your star which at the time of writing my daughter hasn't done yet so can't comment on how easy/difficult that is but as a gift its a lovely idea it just lacks something when you open the tin. I popped some silver stars in mine.
Star of an idea
I wanted something special and different for my mum for her 60th. Looked everywhere then found IWOOT and the perfect gift from her grandaughter! They can plot its position together, think of a meaningful name and it's timeless! Love it and will be back for more truly inspiring gifts.
This Name a Star Gift Bosx is great. It's a unique present and great value for money. The only downside to this is there isn't enough information on the actual star that you have been assigned.
Name a star gift box
This Name A Star Gift Box is great for all those budding entertainers out there. Now you can literally say... "there's a star with your name on out there", "because I bought it for you!". The only downside I could see is that it does seem a tad complicated. The recipient loved it and was boasting that she has a star named after her like a goddess.
Would be good if you could see it!
I was very very disappointed when I got no choice in the star I named and the star allocated to me is too dim to be seen with the naked eye or any equipment that most normal people would have at home! There is also no map of where your star is in the sky, only a set of co-ordinates.
Name a star.
I was really pleased with the 'Name a Star' gift box. I purchased it for my best friend after she had her first baby girl. I thought the gift was unusual and unique. The gift itself looks nice as it comes sealed in a metal tin. I was also pleased that I didn't have to register the star myself as my friend added a middle name to her baby at a later date. You have a year to register star which I thought was a good idea.

Hyggeligt gammeldags hotel
"Lidt slidt, men ok til en overnatning"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 1. dec 2012
Hotellet ligger rigtigt godt til prisen. 3 minutters gang til havenen og restauranterne. Hotellet er lidt slidt og sengene lidt hårde, men for en enkelt nat er det ok. God morgenmads buffet!
"Godt alternativ til nabohotellet"Anmeldt af en Hotels.com-gæst d. 23. sep 2012
Ovenpå tidligere at have prøvet det noget dyrere og mere eksklusive nabohotel, blev det vagabond inn denne gang i San Luis Obispo. Og det er bestemt værd at overveje hvis der blot er tale om en enkelt overnatning. Eneste minus var det lavt placerede brusehoved, som alt for mange amerikanske motellet lider under.

Neither room key worked. The person who checked us in happened to be walking by while I was trying to get in (while holding a sleeping 3yr old).

We got a room with 2 queen beds, […] when I felt the first bed I thought it was a joke - that they put a sheet over a wooden box but both beds were worse than sleeping on the floor! My 3yr old who naps on a play mat said her body hurt when she woke up! The comforter cover felt like a plastic shower curtain liner. The bathroom had a very foul odor, the picture and door frame looked like they had been submerged in the ocean for a few weeks. When I went to the front desk to get a room key the guy offered me a free breakfast buffet for my trouble - um... that was already included for free?

C A+F Off-Campus Dining: Most of us are stuck in the furman bubble anyway, so we don't get out much.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are many options around campus but most are fast food restaurants. If you drive about 15 minutes from campus, there is good food downtown.
A+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: The range of dining venues is perfect for a college student. From cheap fast food to local gems to high-class expensive downtown dining, everyone can find a place to suit his or her taste and budget. Local restaurants often offer discounts for students.
A A+F Off-Campus Dining: Their downtown is a great place for restaurants, with lots of options and variety of cuisines. Relatively cheap price and great location.
A+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: Furman is in a really convenient location whren it comes to food. Five minutes down the road is Traveler's Rest, where you have Walmart, multiple fast food locations (McDonalds, Burger King, Bojangles, etc.), and a few small sit down restaurants (there's a good cheap Mexican place near Walmart). Two minutes in the other direction is a Publix, McDonalds, and a couple of nicer restaraunts, including an Olympian Grill (reasonable prices) and my favorite, Thaicoon which has amazing fried rice that is around ten dollars depending on what kind you get and can easily make two meals if you're a lighter eater. Five minutes further is Cherrydale where there are lots of places like Atlanta Bread Company, Golden Corral, Puerto Vallerta (really good Mexican place), Wendy's, Cook-Out (very popular with students), Zaxby's, Chikfilet, a good cheap Japanese fast-food place, and Yogurt Mountain (self-serve frozen yogurt), where you will definitely spend some time. Downtown is fifteen to twenty minutes from campus and has a lot of bars that have good food like Chicora Alley (good burgers) and Barley's (good calzones), Spill the Beans which has coffee and icecream (kind of pricey for icecream), and a lot of nicer more expensive places (Smoke on the Water is really good and not terrible prices if you go for lunch). And then there are more options near Haywood mall thirty minutes from campus. I don't know much about that area except that there is a Steak and Shake there. There are also a lot of coffee places and organic and vegan places, but I don't drink coffee or eat this type diet so I don't know much about them. So long story short, great choices! And a lot of them give student discounts, especially if you purchase an RLC card at the beginning of the school year (five dollars or less).

Written by Tenell Felder
While none are within walking distance of Furman, Greenville offers a wide variety of dining opportunities for students. There are a multitude of well-known chains within a few miles of the school. Many of the small, locally-owned restaurants are worth discovering. Besides serving delicious food, many give discounts to students and have great food at reasonable prices. For those with deeper pockets, Soby's is known for its new Southern cuisine including shrimp and grits, and chicken-fried meatloaf. If you have room for dessert, stroll down the street to Spill the Beans for ice cream or Coffee Underground dessert and coffee. And finally, no Furman student's night of partying is complete until you've made a 3 a.m. stop to Waffle House for hash browns smothered, covered, and scattered.
Students who tire of the monotony of on-campus dining are not disappointed when they sample Greenville's cuisine. For Greenville's size, there is an amazing amount of new places to try all the time. The chain restaurants are consistently good, and the quirky local operations rarely disappoint. The level of service at nicer restaurants may not be the same as in larger metropolitan areas, but what college student can afford those restaurants anyway?
