RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug quality is great, the coloring is another thing. we ordered the celadon color and the colors were not close to what it looked like on our monitor. i tried several other monitors, all of which looked a little different, but the color on those monitors still looked acceptable to us, but when the rug arrived we had a much brighter green than expected and the vines are a sickly shade of yellow.

4-H Mini Fair Winners — see inside Letters to Editor — see inside 25 cents The Thursday, March 19,1998 Farmside A Press Publications newspaper ar serving the Huntley community Volume 37 Issue 49 BENICO LTD. OPEN HOUSE, RIBBON CUTTING St. Patrick Visits Huntiey By Joyce Liput A new location hasn't changed the quality service yoii'U receive from John and Pam Garven, co-owners of Benico Ltd, in Huntley. John and his wife, Pam, are the co-founders of Benico Ltd. which incorporated on April 6, 1983. The Garvens purchased the office building in downtown Huntley and moved there in December 1997. On March 10, the-Garvens cut the red ribbon to officially open the new location of Benico, Ltd. at 11715 E, Main St. (on the square) in Huntley. John and Pam are proud of the renovation of their new location. The office building has been elegantly remodeled. It's all the more impressive when you get a look at the "History of the Building" scrapbook the Garvens have collected. They found the building dates back to 1893 and was built to serve as Dr. Cook's medical office and the original bank in town. The original Mosler safe vault still remains intact in the building as an integral part of the architectur¬ al history. The building has been home to a "showroom" for caskets for the undertaker, a pharmacy, office space for DFC, and Woodstock Memorial and Juntley Medical Center. The current office space also includes a 5(X)-square- foot conference room, with a state-of-the-art multimedia system, which is available for rent to qualified people or organizations. Benico Ltd. markets indi¬ vidual insurance products such as hfe, disability, health, den¬ tal, Medicare Supplements, long term care, and annuities to individuals, including the self-employed and owners of businesses. Benico Ltd. also works with client companies and organizations as a bro¬ ker/consultant for all types of employer-sponsored benefit plans, including group insur¬ ance, retirement plans, and non-qualified executive com¬ pensation plans. In addition to selling various kinds of insur¬ ance and investment products for funding employer-spon¬ sored benefit plans, Benico provides several ancillary ser¬ vices to employers, including COBRA administration, on a fee basis.

Some people mistook him for a character named Frank Fryer - But we all know it was St Patrick. By Joyce Liput Jane Thompson has resigned as head librarian for the Huntley Area Library District. Her resig¬ nation was presented to the Huntley Library Board and has been accepted. Thompson admits, "This hasn't been an easy decision to make." Thompson says she has decided to leave for person¬ al reasons, with no provoca¬ tion and nothing but good feelings for Huntley. "I just felt this was the best time for me to choose to move on in my life," she said, '*With the new library referendum passed and the building plans completed, but before the construction has begun, the transition will be easier for a new peer son." Thompson became Huntley's Librarian seven years ago when the Huntley Library District originated. She was the driving force in creating the current library and making Huntley's Library what it is now, not just a building full of books, but a building for the learn¬ ing experience. Thompson also worked closely with architects and designers on creating the new library building, mak¬ ing it fit Huntley in form, function and aesthetics. Everyone will miss her tremendously! We all wish her the best future possible.

Effective Prioritization and Managing Your Time
June 30, 2010 Leave a comment
With competing priorities and busy schedules, an entrepreneurs time is invaluable.
Despite this, many of us still fall prey to being reactionary and trying to keep up with our email.
Avoid the trap by creating a to-do list every morning that focuses on strategic deliverables and sticking to it.
Rank your action items based on their contribution to your overall objectives and attack them in order of importance.
Set aside a specific time each day to go through your email; set up filters to categorize and highlight the ones that require immediate attention.
Most importantly: stop letting your inbox dictate your focus.

Expect plenty more such stories as incentives for energy production and consumption are changed. You can't make a clean energy omelet without breaking a few eggs.It sounded like a good idea: Provide a little government money to convert wood shavings and plant waste into renewable energy.
But as laudable as that goal sounds, it could end up causing more economic damage than good -- driving up the price of raw timber, undermining an industry that has long used sawdust and wood shavings to make affordable cabinetry, and highlighting the many challenges involved in decreasing the nation's dependence on oil by using organic materials to create biofuels.
In a matter of months, the Biomass Crop Assistance Program -- a small provision tucked into the 2008 farm bill -- has mushroomed into a half-a-billion dollar subsidy that is funneling taxpayer dollars to sawmills and lumber wholesalers, encouraging them to sell their waste to be converted into high-tech biofuels. In doing so, it is shutting off the supply of cheap timber byproducts to the nation's composite wood manufacturers, who make panels for home entertainment centers and kitchen cabinets. . .
The federal government can provide up to $45 a ton in matching payments to businesses that collect, harvest, store and transport biomass waste to an authorized energy facility. That means sawdust or wood shavings may be twice as valuable if a lumber mill sells them to a biomass energy company instead of to a traditional buyer.This is bad news for the composite panel industry, which turns these materials into particleboard and medium-density fiberboard, and outranks the U.S. biomass industry in terms of employees and economic impact, with 21,000 employees and annual sales of $7.9 billion, according to 2006 U.S. Census data.
The biomass subsidy program could "wipe us out," said T.J. Rosengarth, the vice president and chief operating officer of Flakeboard, the largest composite panel producer in North America. "You can say, 'I've made more alternative energy,' but at what expense?"
The much larger pulp, paper, packaging and wood products industry, which ranks among the top 10 manufacturing employers in 48 states, is just as worried. The American Forest and Paper Association sent a letter to OMB on Oct. 27 warning that the biomass program "could have the unintended consequence of jeopardizing the forest products industry and the many jobs it sustains, as well as the significant quantities of renewable energy it produces."

Unintended Consequences

Ah,but there are only composite panel industries in some states and not (many) others; there are sawmills in many states but supply is not really a problem in many areas. Woody biomass economics is almost all about transportation to the site of use..
Energy production and consumption tradeoffs tend to be regional or local, based on biomass availability and competing uses for that biomass. You can't just take one situation and extrapolate to the rest of the country/planet. - Sun Jan 10, 08:33:00 PM MST

This is just a small part of a big problem with Cap and Trade and/or Tax and Subsidize:
There are 'good' biofuels – and there are 'bad' biofuels – and everything in between.
Biofuels have been prime candidates for subsidies or tax credits to help 'cure' AGW . But biofuels (for example, wood, corn-ethanol and palm-nut diesel oil) can contribute to mitigation of AGW ONLY if they have smaller footprints than the fossil fuels that they are intended to replace. The growing plants that serve as their sources, capture and store CO2 naturally. The annual net rate of conversion of CO2 to organic carbon by the (original, o) plants that grew on the land, before it was brought under cultivation (NPPo), can have been larger or smaller than that of the biofuel crop (new, n) that replaced them (NPPn). If larger, cultivation of such biofuel will produce a net INCREASE in atmospheric CO2, a positive CO2-footprint, proportional to such difference (NPPo - NPPn). Therefore, the production and sale of positive CO2-footprint biofuels should be treated like the sale of fossil fuels; they should be 'taxed', not subsidized! A tax, proportional to each such difference must be assigned to the harvest/sale of such 'bad' biofuels. Otherwise, market forces will incorrectly, (or dishonestly) favor deforestation and land 'abuse' to promote the production of such bad but 'profitable' biofuels (to game the system). This would cancel – instead of contributing to – efforts to mitigate climate change (and incidentally undesirably compete with the production of food or, as in the case being discussed, construction use of wood and wood products).
If harvested wood has a replacement rate by new wood, at or 'near' the harvest site, that is at least equal to the harvest rate, its footprint remains negative if it's either stored, used in construction or as feed stock for chemical synthesis or is used to replace fossil fuel in existing (or replacement) power plants. If it's burned in a new power plant, that increases total energy output, its footprint is still near zero; that is, it produces net energy but little net CO2 emissions! This provides a guide as to how it might be either taxed or subsidized, with respect to fossil fuels.
Assessment of taxes on bad biofuels, as well as the assessment of appropriate taxes on fossil fuels, subsidies for negative-CO2-footprint fuels and subsidies for other conservation activities have to be made from a global and long-term-, rather than a local, short-term-perspective – and with social and ecologic motivation – in a global regulatory arena. The total required tax revenue must be calculated to try to optimize the distribution of economic motivation among the 'players'.
Of course, this is entirely unlike currently discussed Cap and Trade or Tax and Subsidize strategies. But without it, continued deforestation and land abuse and increasing CO2 emissions are assured. - Mon Jan 11, 10:17:00 AM MST

"If harvested wood has a replacement rate by new wood"
USDA and DOE did some estimates in 2005. Biomass from trees could increase from 142 million tons per year to 368 million tons per year without sustainability issues.
Of course the heat content of wood is 1/2 that of coal. So there is a potential to replace 113 million tons of coal with 226 million tons of wood. - Mon Jan 11, 12:20:00 PM MST
- Sharon F. said...
Len- I have to raise an issue that again echoes the contrast between some science communities and others who work at a local scale. To paraphrase Shakespeare "There are no biofuels either good or bad but that specific situations make them so."
Let's take dead bark beetle killed trees, and yard waste for examples. Neither source of biomass changes land use. BB killed trees are not managed; the land has not been converted from forests; there have been no inputs to those forests.
We are going to remove dead trees to reduce fuels around urban areas and to keep them from falling on people and cars. We have a choice; we can either use them for something (fuels or products) or pile them and burn them on site. So the only added carbon is that associated with moving them off site and doing something with them. And that carbon has to be compared to that released if they are burned on site.
Another example is yard waste. It is already collected. It is a question of putting it in a landfill or making mulch or using it to replace fossil fuel.
Again, there is the question of the carbon comparison of moving it and using it for fuel compared to moving it and whatever else you would do with it.
It seems like people tend to get stuck on the biomass as growing biomass crops on agricultural land and forget that woody biomass is a product of existing land uses. - Mon Jan 11, 08:23:00 PM MST
- MIKE said...
Another point that is missed here. Composite board products represent a carbon sink.
- Tue Jan 12, 10:54:00 AM MST
- Harrywr2 said...
If I look at the USDA biofuels report. There is a total of 9.8 million tons of 'yard waste'. Of which 8 million tons is either already being burned as a fuel or is unusable. Which leaves 1.7 million tons as a potential.
2/10ths of 1% of the proposed bio fuels. - Tue Jan 12, 11:45:00 AM MST
- Sharon F. said...
It depends on how you think about it.. are biofuels a good thing in some cases- then what difference does it make what proportion of the total it is? We don't have a biofuels target that I know of- but we would use biofuels where it makes sense and then let the chips (so to speak) of the total woody biomass as energy fall where they may.
- Tue Jan 12, 09:52:00 PM MST
- Len Ornstein said...
The issue is that 'good' biofuels create a market. Unless the distinctions between 'good' and 'bad' biofuels are made explicit, out of profit motivation, markets will be 'gamed' and forests destroyed!
'Taxing' 'bad' biofuels is one solution. - Wed Jan 13, 11:34:00 AM MST

This recipe is from Vital Choice Seafood, the only place we get fresh seafood. In this recipe, Halibut or Cod can be used. We personally prefer Alaskan Halibut because it has a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth tender texture and has a mildly sweet flavor. One thing we enjoy most is the lack of fishy smell and taste from all the fish we get at Vital Choice, they are superior to all others we've tried. Our favorite pick is their Wild Pacific Seafood Medley (yes, it includes the Alaskan Halibut).
Some of our other favorite fresh fish recipes:
Tip: This recipe works well with cod or halibut, and with most any dried fruit.
Prep Time 10 min / Cooking Time 10 min
Cherry-Balsamic Halibut Recipe
- 1/4 cup dried organic tart cherries (we get these are Vital Choice too, amazing quality!)
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 1/4 cup organic white balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 4 Alaskan cod or halibut fillets (4 to 6 oz each), thawed
- Sea salt and organic pepper, to taste
Combine dried fruit, onion, and balsamic vinegar in a small microwaveable bowl. Cover and microwave on medium setting for 1 minute. (Or, heat ingredients in a small saucepan until very warm but not hot, and no more.) Remove from microwave (or saucepan) and stir in pine nuts; let sit, covered, while fish is cooking.
Fill a 12-inch skillet with water to a depth of 1-inch and bring to a boil. Rinse fish under cold water; place fillets in steamer basket. Season with salt and pepper.
Turn off heat. Place steamer basket into skillet; return liquid to a boil. Cover loosely and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove fillets to serving plates; top with fruit.
Serves 4
Serve with a spinach salad, rice pilaf, or whole wheat couscous.

Official Salute
The statutes relating to the salute are in the N.C. General Statutes, Chapter 144.
In 2007, the General Assembly approved the language for an Official Salute to the State Flag of North Carolina (Session Laws, 2007, c. 36).
This specifies that the phrase "I salute the flag of North Carolina and pledge to the Old North State love, loyalty, and faith." is adopted as the official salute to the North Carolina flag.

OK, so you know how to do EFT and the many benefits of tapping for personal issues.
What about when something comes up in public that you would like to tap on. Say you are in a meeting with the boss, and you feel your stress level going up fast. What if you are at a party and start feeling anxious or nervous about interacting with others. How about that dating situation with a special someone that you want to give a favorable impression to?
There is a very simple and subtle solution! You can tap just using your fingers and thumb. Each finger, right at the beginning of the fingernail bed, is a good connection energy point to do tapping.
To get the idea of it…hold your hand out like you were going to shake hands with someone. Then, fold in your fingers towards the palm of your hand. Then, you can use your thumb to "tap" on the edge of the finger where the nailbed corner is. Just tap the first finger several times with the thumb, then move to the middle finger doing the same, to the ring finger, then finish with the little finger.
This can be done under the desk/table in front of you, behind your back, or when you have your arms folded across your chest, it can be done under the arm, close to your body. Nobody will know what you are doing or be able to see it.
An easy way to stay calm and cool in possibly tough public/social situations.

make sure to read electric scooter laws
By Bummed out mother
from Fullerton, CA
Fun product for my ten year old. Only problem is that California has strict electric scooter laws. Can't ride it on the side walk. Need a driver's license or permit to ride on the roads and have to be riden in the bike lane if available. Not allowed at the parks. So...where can he use it? Read your state laws before you buy for your child. Mine is super sad that he can't use his.

Bought this for my son for Hanukkah. Followed the instructions to set it up, charge it & start it - but nothing, didn't work. Called the razor hotline, after answering a hundred questions, I was told to grab a couple sizes of allen wrenches & a screwdriver to open & check the battery connections. Ridiculous, that's your solution, for me to become an over-the-phone mechanic? Looking to return it tomorrow. Happy Hanukkah.

"Within walking distance to event we were attending"
The location of the Hotel was perfect. We could walk to Chrysler Hall for our evening event. It was also in walking distance to the Greyhound Bus station which was a BIG PLUS.The Hotel Staff was amazing, very helpful. We will definitely stay there on our next trip.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Needs another renovation stat"
Tazewell was in terrible shape. Our room was clean but crumbling--literally. The ancient AC unit in the wall had panels that kept falling off. It never worked properly during the whole visit, despite repeated visits by maintenance. All the furniture had a lot of wear & tear. The only decent part was the bathroom, which had nice granite features. Even […] the elevators & coffee machine in the lobby didn't work right. Stay away! Really have no idea how it got such good ratings on the web. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Great place to stay in Downtown Norfolk"
The Hotel was very close to the Norva Theatre where we could walk to the show. I felt safe walking in the neighborhood. There were plenty of places to eat and shop.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Great for the price & location"
This is an older hotel, so the rooms are a bit outdated, but you can't beat the price for the location. Right on Granby street within walking distance to downtown Norfolk's restaurant/bar scene. So, it was extremely convenient. Our toilet wasn't working, but the front desk sent a maintenance guy up right away who fixed it and brought us fresh towels. […] Overall, for $100 I was very pleased. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Lovely,older downtown hotel with convenientaccess"
Enjoyable as a stopover on our way south. Would stay here again if in the area.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
Stayed here overnight after a show at Chrysler Hall. I really enjoyed the charm of the hotel (and being able to walk to the venue). It is older and shows its age in some areas (small elevator, carpet stains, etc) but overall I was very pleased with my stay. The bed was super comfortable (one of the best hotel beds in my recent memory) and the hotel […] staff friendly and accommodating. We had a corner room with a big window and a decent view (remember the hotel is in the middle of the city). Parking could be an issue, however we arrived during the day and found a garage 1 1/2 blocks away - the process was mostly painless. There are many restaurants/ bars within walking distance and also a 7-11 for a late night beer/snack run, if desired. My boyfriend doesn't agree with my rating citing "the room was nice, but the lobby and hallways seemed old". Different strokes for different folks I guess - You either appreciate it for what it is, or you don't. If I ever visit downtown Norfolk again I will definitely stay at the Tazewell. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Charming historic hotel"
The Tazewell Hotel has that charm and character that give you a sense you are stepping back in time. The architectural details inside and out are impressive, even down to the elevator interior. The room was cozy and clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
The Tazewell Hotel is a charming older hotel but the current management is either bleeding it dry or lacks the resources to maintain adequate upkeep. Everything appears to be held together with a band aid.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

I wish that there were more hotels like this available in America. Centrally located, comfortable, clean, and no frills.

If you want a posh, modern, and sleek hotel in downtown Norfolk, you should look at one […] of the other options.

"Great price, clean rooms"
My stay at this hotel was extremely enjoyable and I would definitely stay there again . I originally booked a room with 2 double beds for myself and my mom, but when I checked in they gave us a king bed. Since the price was the same I didn't bother to switch rooms. I requested and received a fridge and microwave in the room at no extra charge. The building […] itself is old but our bathroom was recently renovated and quite large. My mother is extremely picky about hotels, especially bed cleanliness and was very impressed with the accomodations.

What is biology? Lima Biology Department Pages
Biology is the science that studies the processes fundamental to all forms of life. Biology strives to answer such questions as: What is life and when does it begin? How do organisms grow and reproduce? How and why do pollutants threaten certain life forms? What makes one life form unique and at the same time changeable by genetic engineering or natural selection? And how can human life be sustained and lengthened by new medical advances?
An understanding of the biological sciences and their basic principles can help you make informed decisions about biological issues that affect your own life and life in general.
The BIOLOGY major is a stepping stone to research, graduate school, medicine or various health professions, teaching, or work in business or service in government or independent agencies.
Career Opportunities
Research scientist, college professor, medicine, health sciences, business (pharmaceutical sales), teaching, or jobs in nature centers or government. A biology graduate will most likely work in key economic industries of health, food, environment, pharmaceuticals or education.

Oh brother! Next thing they´ll say is that we must bring back human sacrifices to appease Mother Gaia.
The study doesn´t address whether modern-day climate change would have any impact on the frequency of volcanic eruptions, though in theory it´s possible, Jegen said.Theories are fun ...
...learned long ago that any scientific/medical article with "may" "might" or "could" in the title is to be passed by quickly.
Don´t remember if it was the History channel or Nat´l Geographic but I watched a report on what´s inside this planet. Thousands of miles down filled with rock, lava, diamonds, and all sorts of stuff I never heard of before. There is no way anyone on planet earth will ever, ever! do anything to affect the earth´s core.
news flash: self-importance and arrogance may effect your theories.
What "rapid rise in sea levels?" I have heard of no coastal flooding. The sky-is-falling doomsday weather predictions, based on faux climate change, are becoming laughable.
#3: In a related story, Salma Hayek ´may´ someday return one of my many phone calls...
Warm or cool... the water, pressing down on the hot guts of the Earth from whence come the volcanic mag-ma (doing my best Dr. Evil),......weighs the same. So how is *warm* water any more of a problem than *cool* water?
Look out for "new studies," especially if carried out by liberals. They specialize in lies published to further their agenda. What´s more, liberals predetermined outcome studies are typically funded with taxpayer money.
How about volcanic activity changes the earth´s climate?Just a thought for study...
It´s so much more fun nowadays, since the scientific community adopted a new scientific method.Skip these:?Ask a Question?Do Background ResearchBe inventive:?Construct a HypothesisGet a consensus to avoid testing:?Test Your Hypothesis with an ExperimentSave time with just the "Draw" part?Analyze Your Data and Draw a ConclusionJoin the consensus; Do talk shows: Get grant?Communicate Your Results
Wouldn´t global warming cause massive water evaporation, resulting in rain clouds to cover the planet ? That´s good, cause this pretzels are making me thirsty.
lol , too good . I´ve heard earthquakes have intensified too . That´s why Ca. has been cracking down on emissions the way it has .
I´ve noticed that lefties have been trying to tie climate "change" in with plate tectonics since the ´04 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. With enough years and enough dumbing-down of the populace, they´ll succeed.
Yes, and climate change causes stupidity in Liberals...so what else is new?
Grant money causes climate change theories.
Yet another brilliant scientific study from the Josef Mengele Institute for Research.
How convenient. These scientists state that the effects of ´man-made climate change´ won´t be evident for about 2500 years. Nevertheless, we must take action NOW. I think they publish this junk just to create opportunities to chastise ´deniers´.
Somebody needs to point out that sea levels have been rising (slowly) for thousands of years, and the current rate is the same as the historic rate. The faster rate is a "projection" based on "models." Enuff said.
Tail May Wag The Dog
This article in many ways fits the adage,"give a someone,(say scientists)a FACT and you will get thousands of theories to fit the fact. HUH? Also fta,"...it increases volcanic eruptions-----fold" Whats a fold? it is a multiplier. So how many "fold"? 2 or 2000 or what? Bah. So if some one is worried about it, go stick a cork in the craters. Yea, that´s the ticket.
I have a prediction: "Climate change" will cause a very bright comet to appear in the heavens next December. This will be a sign to the moonbats that the world is about to end.
Think of how much climate we could "save" if they stopped printing this garbage.
Looks like Geologists have finally figured out how to cash in on climatechange. Definitely below the curve.
It´s Bush´s fault. /s
Hmmm, but not the other way around?
#1, the ´human sacrifices´ will commence just as soon as they´ve collected-up all the firearms.
"Scientists" today went to Obama schools, played video games, and watched Obama tv, resulting in no training for the task, and Obama conclusions.
Ok children, here is what you do for your next science fair project.Get a glass and fill it about half way with water. This represents the ocean. Then put in several ice cubes. They represent ice bergs. Then take a black marks a lot and draw a line on the glass of the water level.This represents the sea level of the earth.Then put the glass of ice water in the sun. This represents global warming. Come back in a few hours after the ice bergs melt and mark the water line. WOW! It´s still at the same level! Eureka! Whowouldathunkit!Next rent a helicopter, buy a case of Smirnoff vodka and fly over a Hawaiian volcanoe and drop in the vodka as an offering to Goddess Pele.That should fix the problem. Class dismissed.
Crustal deformation by glacier ice is well-known. Huge swaths of Canada - and even the land around Chicago - are still rebounding upwards from the last ice age. It´s almost certain to *influence* volcanism. What is interesting is that this study determines that the influence is in the form of a general increase, instead of an increase here and a decrease there.And though the study´s author seems guarded, maybe skeptical, regarding AGW, now that her theory and AGW have been mentioned in the same article, anthropogenic global warming has been *linked* to increased volcanism.
I´ve been reading about the gigantic linked volcanoes in Iceland which caused so much damage with ash. They are well overdue, and I defy anyone to stop them when they happen.
Did The Onion buy this rag and just not tell anybody?
Folks, these people are NEVER going to stop - - because they´re being financed very handsomely with money stolen from you.And the more they steal - - the more they lust to steal again.The sea levels aren´t rising - - but the balances in these communists´ bank accounts surely are.
Tia = Idiot
This Tia fool apparently hasn´t had any contact with real science since, oh, eighth grade. She has it exactly bass ackwards, of course. While it has been documented that volcanic eruptions can temporarily effect climate (vide: the Year Without a Summer in the early 1800´s), no one but a silly girl who has avoided real science and math would actually be ignorant enough to state that changes in climate cause volcanic eruptions.What is distressing here is that there are probably several thousand school children who will be handed copies of this nonsense by their teachers, and who will go through life believing that climate change will set off volcanic eruptions.
Sorry. I stopped reading after "the rapid rise in sea levels".
Yea, maybe.As a geologist I think I see the logic of what they are saying. I´m guessing the theory is that there would be continental rebound from removal of a super load caused by the melting of a mile thick glacier (rebound continues today in North America from the last Ice Age). The rebound area would have to be adjacent to a continental/ocean plate boundary where the ocean plate was then super loaded from the increased water depth (from melted ice) of 200´ to 300´. The differential pressure would cause mantle cracking at the plate boundary allowing lava to come to the surface as a volcano along these cracks.I´m not aware of when in geologic time that glaciers occupied Costa Rica, but that would be required.
#39, thanks for weighing in; good to hear from an actual geologist!And #12, ya nailed it, first take!

Fall 2008
A New World (Court) Order?
Julian Ku
Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty Development
Return to Table of Contents
In recent years, the U.S. SupremeCourt has made a number of important and potentially landmark decisions implicating international relations and international law. Two of the most important of these decisions examined the legal effect of an international court's judgment within the American legal law. In Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon and Medellin v. Texas, the SupremeCourt considered petitions seeking to use judgments made by the UnitedNations' principal judicial organ, theInternational Court of Justice, to set aside or order a new trial for individuals convicted under American law.
The importance of this question is hard to overstate. Although the United States has participated in forms of international adjudication from its earliest history,1 the Supreme Court had never before directly considered the domestic legal significance of judgments issued by international courts. And in the next few years, U.S.courts increasingly will be asked to enforce judgments by international tribunals and courts. In just the past decade, the U.S. government has been the subject of three adverse judgments issued by the International Court ofJustice.2 The United States has also lost numerous adverse judgments before the dispute resolution tribunals set up under the World Trade Organization and theNorth American Free Trade Agreement.3Indeed, the United States is obligated to undergo binding international dispute resolution by hundreds of treaties and international agreements. It is likely that litigants will seek to enforce the judgments of such international courts and tribunals directly in U.S. courts.
Many legal scholars welcome the increasing frequency and interaction ofU.S. courts with international courts and tribunals. Some leading scholars have argued that the interaction between international tribunals and domestic courts can form a central component of a new international order characterized by respect for and submission to international law and international institutions. Their arguments have been reflected in both the briefs filed in recent Supreme Court decisions as well as in dissents from key justices on the Court.
I use the phrase "new world court order" to describe the intersection of two phenomena: the growth and importance of international courts and tribunals and the effort to enforce the judgments of international tribunals in domestic courts. In my view,encouraging and even requiring U.S.courts to give domestic effect to international court and tribunal judgments would create difficulties as a matter of U.S. constitutional law. The power to enforce international tribunal judgments, I believe, is properly understood to fall within the foreign affairs power, and not the judicial power, of the U.S. government. As such, the most politically accountable branches of the U.S. government, the president and Congress, are the only institutions constitutionally authorized to determine how or whether to implement an international court or tribunal judgment within the U.S. legal system.
There is a longstanding doctrine of U.S.constitutional law that might help govern the relationship between the U.S.legal system and international courts and tribunals. The "nondelegation" doctrine limits the excessive delegation of authority by one branch of the U.S.government to another. The doctrine is most commonly invoked with respect to legislative delegations to executive agencies, but it can also be used in other contexts. I argue that direct enforceability of international court and tribunal judgments could constitute an impermissible delegation of the U.S.foreign affairs power to international tribunals.
To be sure, even in the domestic sphere,the nondelegation doctrine is better known for its under enforcement than for its role as a serious constitutional constraint. Nonetheless, there are reasons to treat delegations to international courts and tribunals differently. Unlike delegations to domestic institutions, international delegations involve transfers of legal authority to international institutions over which the politically accountable branches of the federal government have fewer mechanisms of control.

Just saw an ad on TV this morning while I was watching "Civil War Journal" announcing a new History Channel special to be aired April 22,2007 at 9PM/8c. It is "Sherman's March." The ad shows a few scenes and the actor who plays Sherman has some things to say about the filming. I'm not clear if it will be done as straight history like most History Channel shows or if it will be done as a drama in the manner of "Gods and Generals." I'm also not sure if it will be one hour or longer. I don't think it will be a series. Just thought I'd give a heads up on this presentation in case anyone would be interested. |

I'm not sure about that Ole; I remember how much I was almost screaming at the TV when I saw a show on the Cav of the CW era... so grossly wrong I was furious. Wonder what the folks in the next hotel room over were thinking? I don't trust the History channel to put forth a good, unbiased, well researched work on Sherman and his men. I suppose it will depend on what they use as their primary source. Imagine if you will something along the lines of Battalion, Hal or Thea pushing their agenda... scares the heck out of me and in the current environment of enthusiastic anti-US/anti-military in Hollyweird I don't know what to expect. I trust you or Steve Cone to let me know whether or not it turns out to be hog slop. |

Can't wait to read your review, but even if you give the show a failing grade, I'll still watch just for the fun of seeing what is right and what is wrong. I'm hoping the show will be as good as the current "The Tudors" on Showtime. |

CF - After reading the press kit that came with the review copy, I learned that I'm not allowd to post any review until the 16th. Since the show airs on the 22nd, have to admit I don't see the logic in that. I watched about 15 minutes of it today, and ....let's just say nit-pickers will have a field day Here's a little time-waster for ya all.... http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/ShermanGame.htm |

That was a fun game...once I figured out how to play it. It is a good run up to the show. Another good run up is to read "Kill-Cavalry: The Life of Hugh Judson Kilpatrick" and/or "The Battle of Monroe's Crossroads: The Last Major Cavalry Action of the War." Both of these have detailed descriptions of "The March" from Atlanta to Savannah and then into the Carolinas. Of course books on Sherman would be logical choices too. (That goes without saying.)

Driskill Grill - Driskill Hotel
Online Reservations
Lamb was the best. The entire place is Victorian wood, era lights and curtains. While one patron was a bit loud for such a nice place, everyone else behaved. The bar is outstanding. I noticed several hard-to-find, top shelf brands. Service was impeccable. I'll be back.
We consistently have an excellent meal at the Driskill Grill. The menu changes seasonally. This time we all had steaks with Bernaise- Scrump! The fried green tomatoes and sauce, the artisanal cheese tray, the homemade breads, the fingerling potatoes with blue cheese - all very well done! The caviar presentation is also lovely. There were always 2-3 waitstaff attending to our needs.
I've been to the Driskill Grill a few times and always enjoy the prompt and friendly service. And the food is second to none. The filet I had was excellent, and they didn't drowned it with seasoning. To me that is the sign a of good steak, one that can stand on its own, without a lot of seasoning.
This may have been the best experience yet at the Driskill Grill. Everything was perfect. We always do the Chef's menu with wine pairing. As much as we love and know about wine and food pairings, we don't dedicate it 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year studying and tasting wines. The staff at the Driskill does. They have never disappointed us.
Celebrated our 26th anniversary...romantic. Best ribeye ever!!!
Great experience! We enjoyed the 5 course with wine paring; quite memorable. Our 4 wait staff were personal but not overbearing. Will return next time we are in Austin.
the wait staff was fabulous especially Scott. The food was lick your plate good. Great all around.
Awesome dining and waiter was superb. Chef is outstanding and some of his creations are out of this world. The brussel sprouts were fabulous.
This restraunt was unique in the fact that it is inside in such an old hotel that is truely extravagant. The restraunt's wait staff not only was kind and friendly, but they acted like they cared about you having a great dining experience. The chef even played a role in the experience by being that silent mysterious person that wanted you to experience the food and flavors as they are, sharing his vision with you. Some things weren't for my taste buds but everything else was exquisite. The prime rib melted in your mouth it was cooked to perfection. Thank you for the magnificent experience.
This is the second time we went to the Driskill Grill and it was fantastic, just like the first time. We ordered the 5 course tasting menu and all the dishes were delicious with a nice variety, and all very high quality. The Kobe beef is a must-try! The portions are very small, but the food is so rich that I thought it was the perfect amount. My husband and I were definitely full by the end of the meal. Highly recommended!
The historic hotel was the ideal setting for a special occasion celebration for my wife and I. The service team was attentive to every detail, and the chef's 5 course selection was outstanding. My wife was treated to a special night, which was my objective, and we left feeling satisfied and well cared for.
Birthdays, anniversary? We head to The Driskill Grill every time. Just entering the hotel is a visual treat, as is heading up the grand stair case through the long bar area with beautiful art work and all kinds of comfortable seating. What they do with food is amazing, as to taste and presentation; very creative. We love the many tastes and textures of each course, the item, its sauce, and the bed of something it sits on, the always excellent house wine, and more, and have never been disappointed. Can't say enough about the great service. Fantastic breads too!
We hadn't been to the Driscoll in a couple of years and were absolutely stunned again at how good it was. First off, we had an outstanding young and excellent waiter named Scott whose knowledge on the menu items was excellent. He is training to become a sommelier and his knowledge of the extensive wine list also excellent. The appetizers, salad, entrees and desserts were all first class and well prepared. The bar outside the restaurant is fairly energetic with a large crowd, music, and activity, but we really didn't hear much of that in the restaurant. You can have a quiet dinner for that special occasion. It is on the expensive side but well worth it for a special occasion. One of the most elegant dining opportunities in Austin.
We enjoyed our dinner experience but were disappointed that the food wasn't as good as on previous visits. The service was friendly but intrusive at times.
This restaurant has beautiful decor and made us feel like we were dining in historic place. The service was top notch and the wine list is very extensive. I had the 5 course meal with wine pairing, which is the way to go if you want some variety. The fried green tomatoes with goat cheese was very delicious memorable. My wife had the lamb and it was very good with a good size portion. This is definitely a unique place to dine and is unlike any place I've ever eaten. I would say it is one of the top 5 hotel restaurants I've ever eaten in.
Everything perfect at this well managed restaurant ! Especially efficient staff. Great bread,
Hard to put into works how wonderful our dinner was. Steak melted in my mouth!! I cannot remember the last time I've had such an amazing meal. The wait staff was friendly and funny. We never felt rushed at all. It was a wonderful night since we had taken the weekend away and needed much pampering and relaxation. Cannot wait to go back. If you come to Austin, you must eat here!!
excellent service and presentation of the fine food. The waiters were expert at their knowledge of the offerings of food and wine. we will be going back very soon.
We had a great time. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was great, but personally I would have selected different wines in some cases.
The food was great and it was just a great experience overall.
Outstanding food! Outstanding service! Treated extremely well! Highly recommend the Driskill Grill.
From the moment we entered the establishment until we left, we were treated with great service and enjoyed a great meal. My wife and I were on a vacation and decided to make this our romantic meal. It was nothing short of awesome! Even though it was expensive, it was worth it. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a romantic place to eat a great meal.
We, a close friend and I, desired to create a romantic weekend trip for our wives. The Driskell Hotell was our accommodations for the weekend and so we reserved a table at the Grill that night. It was everything we had hoped for and correctly fulfilled our wishes for the weekend and its element in everything they did. The food and service were tremendous. When in Austin, do not neglect yourself and simply stop in. You will find the Grill impeccable, too.
Our group of four had the five course meal with paired wines, an experience that is sure to bring out one's inner food and wine critic. The beet terrine with goat cheese and honey comb was surprisingly fine. The wild boar belly paired beautifully with an Amador Foothills Zin. Our server seemed new and lacking in experience, but was genial and paced the courses well. Overall a relaxed, convivial time was had by all.
Excellent food, very good service and unbeatable ambiance.
The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The decor is a tiny bit tacky but not enough to detract from the overall experience.
I went with a group of friends and we had the best time!! The food is exceptional and the staff is friendly. We can't wait to go back!!
I had the tartare and a steak. Girlfriend had the 5 course tasting with wine. I thought the tasting was a little high upon first inspection however, it was well worth it. I will be looking forward to trying this place again!
I had several special anniversary requests to set up the table in addition to the special meal and they handled the entire evening very well.
We did the 7 course meal and I highly recommend it. The food was beautiful and very good. We went with another couple and go here every year on our anniversary.
excellent evening as usual, Mr Lewis makes the occasion very special.
The Salmon dish with fennel, eggplant and polenta was delicious. The bibb lettuce with nectarines complemented the Salmon.
I took friends to experience the Driskill Grill. They were very impressed. We had the 5 course meal with wine pairings, It was about 2 hours from sit down till finish. If you are looking for a quite place to talk this is it. The food was awesome and the wine pairing were very good as well. The restaurant is in the Driskill Hotel which is on 6th street. If you are looking for a night on the town it is a great place to start. The restaurant is separated from the bar area by a glass wall, which keeps the it quite for dinning. When leaving its like stepping directly into the Austin nightlife scene. I have stayed at the hotel, also a wonderful experience. Truly the perfect getaway for a couple. To avoid 6th there is a 5th street entrance.
This Place is always bringing you exactly what you need to feel special. From the delicious meals that change every day to the vibrant and helpful waitstaff. Always an enjoyable night with family and friends that leaves you with memories that will last
The food, ambiance, and service were excellent. I was not impressed at all with the wine list. a few of the pairings suggested were acceptable, for the food, but on their own the wine was mediocre at best. Given the, understandably, small portions of food with each course I felt I was choking down at least half a glass of bad wine with every course. In the future i'll likely be doing my own wine selection. Even with the bad wine, I'd still highly recommend the place.
Everything was wonderful. The service was impeccable. There was always someone keeping an eye on you without hovering or bothering you. Food-wise: I would recommend the steak. It was aged and cooked to perfection. The seafood (lobster and prawns) was good, but could have been better. The coffee and desserts were also delightfully tasty!
Driskill Grill is a very nice restaurant with excellent food and even quiet so people can actually have a conversation.
My husband had the lamb chops, the best he has ever had...My rib-eye was cooked just the way I like it. Our wine was excellent....I will be back next year and eating at the Driskill Grill will be at the top of my list....
My only suggestion would be to dim the lighting, we had a spotlight over our beautiful table in this elegant room. Food and service made our evening very nice.
Waiter had too many table assigned to him. Appeared the restaurant was short handed. Too many assistance waiting on us. The old hotel staff was better than the newer staff that Hyatt brought in. We were expecting better customer service than what we receive, although the customer service was very good, it didn't have thet extra touch that we had experience in the past. Again the food servers were working very hard to handle all of the tables.
I booked my reservation two weeks in advance. When we got there they didn't have us down even though open table said they booked it. Not going to use open table again.
Took my wife to the Driskill for her birthday this pat weekend. Chose this restaurant based on reviews and it did not disappoint. My wife had a fish dish while i ordered filet mignon. We shared and enjoyed both dishes. The fish was soft and tastey, the filet cooked perfectly. In addition to the main course, the side dishes were fabulous! My wife enjoyed the orza, i had potatoes and brussel sprouts which were roasted to delight. In addition a side of okra was fantastic! My only complaints involved the service. Our server was polite and considerate but needs to know the dishes better. For dessert, my wife was surprised with a creme bruilet which she said was ok. another surprise was being charged for the desert without choosing it ourselves.
From the moment we stepped in we knew this would be another perfect dining experience for us. Service was spot on. Enjoyed a delicious Malbec that was recommended by our server Maria. The filet was cooked to perfection and served with delicious lobster grits. The seared Ahi was melt in your mouth tender. Desserts were scrumptious. I love the Driskill and have never been even slightly disappointed there.
My husband and I dined at the Driskill Grill to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We couldn't have been more pleased. The food was excellent and the service was spot on. We were worried that the restaurant would have an uncomfortable pretentiousness, but that was not the case at all. It was the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. We look forward to returning.
Service is beyond comparable!!!! We started Dining at 615 left the restaurant at 1030pm. We did not even notice the time. That's how much great of an experience it was. I would highly recommend the 9 course dinner. If not, I would also recommend the Pork Belly, The Filet Mignon and the Boar. All exceptional.
Enjoyed a great dinner complimented by excellent service (Joe with an attentive back up ensemble). Took my wife to the Driskill Grill for her 50th Birthday. Could not ask for a better experience. Food (taste, presentation) was 5 star. Our dessert was made extra special by the chef who wrote Happy Birthday with chocolate sauce on the plate. Everyone treated us as if we were the only ones there. Highly Recommended!
Old west luxury enveloped us as we moved from the bar to the dinning room. The gracious staff helped us feel comfortable throughout the 2 1/2 hour dinner. They eagerly and easily dealt with one diet restriction and accommodated all of our other needs. The five course Thanksgiving meal was filling and replete with the right holiday flavors. The Kale salad started us off crisply and paved the way to the beet and goat cheese terrine. The rich pork belly, perfectly prepared, came next. I opted for the turkey roulade while my daughter had the black-rimmed, red interior beef tenderloin. Finally the Driskill version of a pumpkin pie escorted us to the end of our dinner. Can't wait to get back to try their regular menu.
The Axis deer was fantastic, and they did a great job of helping us enjoy our anniversary. Wine list is very good, and prices are quite reasonable.
Had a perfectly lovely time as we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary. The food was very good, the service attentive but not obtrusive. We had a very nice evening. The young woman who assisted at our table was especially gracious and helpful. The only slight negative was that things were a bit slow, but since we were not concerned with the time it did not have an impact.
My first experience with "fine-dining" and it was spectacular. The five-course tasting selection was superb and did not disappoint. Service was top-notch and the atmosphere romantic. A must-visit for natives and visitors to Austin.

Flash back to the early '70s: American auto manufacturers are still building bigger muscle cars and the new burgeoning guitar effects industry is churning out increasingly creative and capable studio effects in smaller, stage-ready, battery-operated packages. Companies like MXR and Electro-Harmonix are forging future legends with their fast-expanding ranges of portable effects devices.
Then jump ahead a few more years. Gas prices are high, the economy is sputtering, and effects manufacturers—like their Detroit brethren—are feeling the pressure to downsize to compete with cheaper imports. The automotive and effects industries each responded to those challenges with varying degrees of success. But just as the Mustang II never quite captured the glamour or speed of say, a Mach 1, you can argue something went missing with the sound of those newer effects.
In 2012, there's no shortage of reissues and custom boutique manufacturers reviving the glory days. But while a lot of folks claim to nail vintage sounds—the reality is that they're often equal parts econobox and Hemi 'Cuda. Mojo Hand is among the newer builders successfully using modern technology to channel the feel, spirit, and sound of older circuits. And their Nebula IV phase pedal, like a lot of the new generation of American muscle cars, does a very cool job of melding vintage inspiration and modern construction.

The Nebula IV clearly derives a lot ofinspiration from the classic MXR Phase 90design. Both share a rate control and orangeexterior (though the Nebula IV arguablytrumps the MXR in the visual departmentwith an awesome silkscreened astronautgraphic), and there are clear sonic similari-ties in certain applications. But there's a lotthat's different too. The Nebula IV includesa level knob, which combats the level dropsuffered by early MXR Phase 90s. It alsoincludes a true-bypass switch, Boss-stylepower jack, and LED indicator.
makes the best of these improvements to create a much more versatile phaser. Instead of six TI 741 op-amps taking up space, there are three TI dual-stage TL072s mounted in sockets. Rather than seven ceramic disc caps, there are six precision small-form box poly caps, two regular poly caps, and two small electrolytic caps. And in place of noisy, carbon comp resistors, there are smaller precision metal-film resistors. The inside of the pedal is both spacious and pristine as a result.
Turn on, Tune in, Drop out There's a beauty about a pedal this simple and intuitive—you could fit the operational instructions in a fortune cookie. You just turn it on, dial the knobs, and find a phase pattern that inspires. To initiate my own explorations, I placed the Nebula IV in my pedalboard after a Fulltone Wah, Univox Super Fuzz, and vintage MXR Distortion+ that feeds a ' 66 Fender Twin Reverb. At the
