This used to be the best place to go for great food and Margarita`s not anymore !! They still have great atmosphere and I love the patio ! Top shelf Margarita is very good . All of the food and appetizers we ordered were horrible and had no taste ! I got a 1/2 of a red , white and blue salad they even messed that up , the lettuce was wilted and drenched in oil , one of my friends got the steak burrito she said it was awful she could not even eat it ! We did have a great Waitress Katie 21 she offered to replace it and always was checking on us great service by her . I hope Hacienda decides to read some of these reviews before they are another restaurant that goes under !! Hire some good cooks !!!!!!
Disappointed – Drove a half hour after checking their web site only to find that they decided to stop serving customers early.
Horrible service, Terrible food – My wife and I went on Saturday around 5:00. It's been years since we had been there and were hoping to have an enjoyable meal. Unfortunately that was not the case. We started with the quesadilla appetizer. The server brought it to our table without any plates to eat with. When our waiter came by we told him the server didn't bring us plates. The server then returned and aggressively Dropped the plates on our table and said"I didn't think you wanted plates" and walked away.
So then we ordered our meal which was steak fajitas. Another server came and brought the fajitas and said be careful the plate is hot. Well the plate wasn't hot at all and neither was the steak or the tortillas. Usually when fahitas are brought out there is smoke/steam coming from the plate. When our waiter came by again, he asked how the food is we told him it was cold . He shook his head took the dish and walked away . Within minutes he was back with a hot dish. Obviously they didn't make a new fresh meal. We found this to be very unsatisfactory. We were expecting a nice evening at an old favorite restaurant but found ourselves in disbelief that this was what we paid for.
Very disappointing – Many years ago I ate at the Hacienda in Overland, MO. This Hacienda is is nothing like the one that was in Overland. The server was very prompt and courteous, but she could not overcome the mediocre food. We would have been better off to go to a neighborhood Mexican restaurant than drive so far out of our way for substandard food. The food is ok, it just isn't that good for the price you are paying.
The Hacienda RULES in St. Louis! – Don't blame Hacienda for your parking tow. The neighboring businesses are the ones who tow away cars who illegally park on their lots. Hacienda posts clear warning signs not to park on other lots, but some idiots continue to do so.
Going to the Hacienda is a special treat (great for girls' night out). The food is mouth watering and the restaurant is beautiful. The outdoor patio is expecially pleasant and relaxing.
worlds worst restaurant – we we were there a week ago and we were seated waiting for our third person in our party and the manager mark came up and made us leave our table after we had been seated for 20 mins b/c our party wasnt there, how rude is that he told we had to leave the table and we could wait in the bar if we like we left we were so mad we will never go back and will tell our friends or any one to never go back to bad to lose a place to eat after going there for so many years i can find just as good of food somewhere else.
You think what you want to think – I looked at the parking and that had additional parking and I said wow lots of parking okay. The food portion was huge at least for me it filled me up. I had enough food to feed another person. I ate a dinner time. I didn't eat on the patio but the patio looked wonderful lots of tables, I ate inside and there were much room looked clean inside. The service was great. We had 15 ladies at our table a big group. She made sure I had plenty of water all the time.. good service I do say so. When I have plenty of water I am satisfy. She was very friendly. So yes I would recommend this place to my family or friends but see this is my opinion and my opinion only. You have to go and try this place to have your own opinion about this place. Cause I read the opinion about this place before I went and it was so poor rated that if it wasn't cause I was meeting someone I wouldn't have gone. I am glad I went now. You have to try for yourself and make your own decision sometimes. Cause see mine is different. I saw thing differently. Amen!!!!!!
Not a good place to eat – This place is so overrated. Its nice to sit on the patio in the summer..but other than that...the food is blah...drinsk are expensive and small. The worst part is the manager!!! She made it a point to harrass and glare at us b/c we were seated before our whole party had arrived...umm. not our fault that happened. She actually came over to our table and lectured us. When we asked the waiter about what her deal was he told us that she was even worse with the staff. I dont think thats right...so I will not be going there again. Out of the dozen times Ive been there I havent really been impressed!
Authentic fixings and a breezy patio are the star attractions at this affordable Mexican restaurant. – In Short
The large indoor dining room is a bit run down, but diners don't seem to notice as they gulp their mango margaritas. Service is detached but adequate. The large menu contains stock versions of Mexican favorites, such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas, Americanized with more meat and cheese and fewer vegetables. However, most items--including fabulous fresh guacamole--are made with authentic ingredients.
If you can't sit outside keep on driving. – We come here a lot I love the outside sitting when the weather is nice. Well the night we went for a work happy hour it was VERY hot. We decided to sit inside - boring!! The service was horrible. We had to ask for menus several times, we had to ask for drinks, for her to take our plates / glasses away.

Considering the choppy and volatile metals markets that we are experiencing now — and will probably experience for the foreseeable future — it can be tough to gauge which way the market is going.
Yes, you must take the fundamentals seriously, but, unfortunately, fundamentals have been turned upside down in recent years. Many fundamentally bad investments have gone up and many fundamentally good investments have gone down, and it could make any logical market observer start to question his or her sanity. This is particularly true of precious metals that are used to manage inflation. If recent injections of capital to handle this historic recession brought on by the credit crisis work, we can expect a sharp increase in inflation. If they don't work and assets continue to decline, metals would be just as volatile.
This doesn't mean that fundamentals don't matter. Fundamentals ultimately win, but it appears to be taking a longer time period for supply and demand to play out. Meanwhile, technical considerations tend to be more advantageous in the short-term. Given that, what can a rational metals trader do in the short term?
Today's crazy and volatile market gives us the opportunity to practice a simple strategy called the long strangle. The long strangle is a market-neutral strategy in that it doesn't matter which way the price of the underlying commodity moves. Whether it gets more expensive or cheaper is irrelevant; all you want it to do is move far and move fast. The more volatile and extreme the move, the better (see "Volatile times").
The long strangle is a less expensive version of the long straddle. For the novice trader, the long straddle is simply buying a call option and a put option simultaneously in the same market and at the same strike price. Say gold is priced at $950 and you wanted to do a long straddle. You would buy a call option with the strike price of $950 and a put option with the strike price of $950. Both the call and the put would have the same expiration date. In the case of a long straddle, both the call and the put are said to be at the money (ATM) because the strike price and the market price of the underlying commodity are the same. Because buying both a call and a put at the money can be expensive, a long straddle can be a pricey combination.
As any increase or decrease in the value of the underlying would reward one position, while adversely affecting the other, this is not a directional play. Instead you are betting on an increase in volatility. The higher the volatility, the higher the premium will be for each option, particularly the out-of-the-money option.
A long strangle has the same concept only it's cheaper because both the call and the put are bought out of the money. In either the straddle or the strangle, the strategy is the same; the buyer is hoping to make a large enough profit on one of the legs of the straddle (or strangle) to offset the total cost of the combination.
For example, say you buy a call option for $300 and a put option for $275. The total cost would be $575. Say the underlying asset skyrockets in price. The call option would gain value while the put would lose value. Presume that the price of the underlying asset rises so much that the call option rises to a value of $700 and the put option plummets to the paltry value of $5. Presume that you cash out both positions. Now what? You have $705 and your net realized gain becomes $130 ($705 less the original cost of $575).Of course, had the price of the underlying asset fallen significantly, the call would have lost much of its value, while the put's value would have soared.
Keep in mind that the total cost of the call and put combination will be dependent on the strike prices used and the expiration of the options. The closer the strike prices are, the more you will pay. In a long strangle, you aren't using the same strike price but out-of-the-money strikes for both puts and calls. Because both the call and the put are out of the money, the combination will be cheaper. It is more of a pure volatility play because one side will not automatically be in the money. In addition, the longer the time frame of the options being used, the more you will pay for them. If you choose a three-month expiration, it of course would be cheaper than a nine-month window of time. Remember though that you will be battling time decay, or theta. The nearer your option is to expiration, the more value you will lose to time decay and the rate of time decay will increase the closer you are to expiration.
A simple example of a long strangle on precious metals can demonstrate this concept. The position can be built easily and, if necessary, it can be done relatively inexpensively. For our purposes, the current silver market provides an excellent environment, particularly the exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the metal, Powershares DB silver.
In mid-August, the spot silver market was trading at $14.15 and the silver ETF DBS was at $25.31. The options table for DBS (available at www.cboe.com) shown in "Tabling our options" gives us the farthest expirations available at the moment (January 2010). By press time, it's likely that options issued for March 2010 will be available.
Because DBS is priced at about $25, a classic long straddle would mean buying a $25 call and a $25 put. Using the options table, such a combination would have cost you $540 ($280 for the call plus $260 for the put) not including commissions. Remember that because you are buying them, the cost is from the "ask" column.
However, a long strangle will be cheaper because you will be buying out of the money. If you buy a $27 call and a $23 put, your total cost would only be $360 ($200 for the call and $160 for the put). If you bought the $28 call and the $22 put, then your total would be $285.
Keep in mind that the long strangle does not have to be done a certain way. There are variations and you can use your creativity and gear it toward your outlook. If you are slightly more bullish than bearish, you could certainly use a call that expires in, say, nine months while the put would expire in only six months.
Time decay won't increase in earnest until 30-45 days until expiration so that leaves you with plenty of time (see "Make a move"). Ideally you will take profits on this trade well before expiration, around the time Theta begins to accelerate.

Comments about K2 Automatic Ski Poles - Men's:
As far as poles themselves go, they're great. Durable, light for aluminum poles, and have a nice ice crown. There is one thing that constantly annoys me though, the straps! They are adjusted by a buckle in the middle of the strap, not a mechanism inside the handle. Which means if you stick your hand in from "the other" side, the buckle will turn around and make it uncomfortable. Once they're on, they're great, but try figuring it out with heavy gloves on.
Best Uses
Comments about K2 Automatic Ski Poles - Men's:
Good price point, good value.
Decent poles, they do the job.
Only con: The straps are bit too flexible, they're not weak, they haven't broken, but the material is soft and pliable, making it a bit cumbersome to get my gloved hands strapped in before descending down the mountain. But, this isn't a deal breaker, I'd buy these poles again.

Comments about K2 Automatic Ski Poles - Men's:
Great ski poles. Used them for the first time in Jackson Hole and I was satisfied with the comfort and durability. Highly recommended, especially for the price.

A number of readers responded to our call to describe their perfect notebook. We were pleased to discover they generally agreed with major elements of our WorldBook design, especially the integrated smartphone and the embedded solar panel. We also learned that features we excluded for being too expensive or impractical might have enough market appeal to justify another crack at doing them affordably.
[ View the "perfect laptop" slide show ]
Modularity was a popular theme among the submissions. More than one reader wanted a removable keyboard, a removable screen, a detachable camera and mic, removable wireless speakers, and a removable disk drive that could be easily slipped out of the laptop and into a desktop computer.
Many readers wanted more from our WorldBooks. Wish lists included TV, GPS, a music synthesizer, shortwave radio, a tablet form factor, a keyboard that doubles as a touchscreen, even a fold-out screen or add-on panels to extend the display. Other readers wanted decidedly less: a form factor the size of a paperback book, small enough to fit in a pocket.
Readers loved the idea of the smartphone integrated into our notebooks' touchpad/tablet. The embedded smartphone allows WorldBook users to access EDGE and 3G for Internet connections, as well as the ability to run productivity widgets, play stored and streaming media files, and employ the browser without powering up the notebook or lighting its display. Some readers, including grand prize winner Enrique Gines, wanted this smartphone to be removable. So did we. What nixed modular removal of the smartphone from the original WorldBooks were design challenges that we couldn't address affordably.
Hold the phone Having a user-removable smartphone module would mean that the notebook would spend some of its time with a giant hole where the touchpad/tablet once sat. We could conceivably create a module that slides into the same space to provide only the pointing device, but wouldn't it make you crazy if you misplaced or damaged this? Whenever you removed the smartphone, your notebook would be useless, with a crater where the pointing device should be. » FULL STORY

"Cloud First" or "Mobile First" – Which Development Strategy Comes First?
By Mac Devine in Business, Executive Blog, TechnologyCompany XYZ knows that the majority of its revenue will come from recurring subscriptions to its new SaaS service. To generate visibility and awareness of the SaaS offering, XYZ needs to develop a mobile presence to reach the offering's potential audience. Should XYZ focus on building a mobile presence first (since its timing is most critical), or should it prioritize the completion of the cloud service first (since its importance is most critical)? Do both have to be delivered simultaneously?
It's the theoretical equivalent of the "Which came first: The chicken or the egg?" causality dilemma for many technology companies today.
Several IBM customers have asked me recently about whether the implementation of a "cloud first" strategy or a "mobile first" strategy is most important, and it's a fantastic question. They know that cloud and mobile are not mutually exclusive, but their limited development resources demand that some sort of prioritization be in place. However, should this prioritization be done based on importance or urgency?
The answer is what you'd expect: It depends! If a company's cloud offering consists solely of back-end services (i.e. no requirement or desire to execute natively on a mobile device), then a cloud-first strategy is clearly needed, right? A mobile presence would only be effective in drawing customers to the back-end services if they are in place and work well. However, what if the cloud offering is targeting only mobile users? Not focusing on the mobile-first user experience could sabotage a great set of back-end services.
As this simple example illustrated, prioritizing one development strategy at the expense of the other strategy can have devastating consequences. In this "Is there an app for that?" generation, a lack of predictable responsiveness for improved quality of service and/or quality of experience can drive your customers to your competitors who are only a click away. Continuous delivery is an essential element of both "cloud first and "mobile first" development. The ability to get feedback quickly from users for new services (and more importantly incorporate that feedback quickly) allows a company to re-shape a service to turn existing users into advocates for the service as well as other adjacent or tiered services. "Cloud first" developers need a cloud service provider that can provide continuous delivery of predictable and superior compute, storage and network services that can be optimized for the type of workload and can adapt to changes in scale requirements. "Mobile first" developers need a mobile application development platform that can ensure the quality of the application's mobile user experience while allowing the mobile application to also leverage back-end services. To accommodate both types of developers, IBM established two "centers of gravity" to allow our customers to strike the right balance between their "cloud first" and "mobile first" development.
It should come as no surprise that the cornerstone of IBM's cloud first offering is SoftLayer. SoftLayer's APIs to its infrastructure services allow companies to optimize their application services based on the needs of application, and the SoftLayer network also optimizes delivery of the application services to the consumer of the service regardless of the location or the type of client access.
For developers looking to prioritize the delivery of services on mobile devices, we centered our MobileFirst initiative on Worklight. Worklight balances the native mobile application experience and integration with back-end services to streamline the development process for "mobile first" companies.
We are actively working on the convergence of our IBM Cloud First and Mobile First strategies via optimized integration of SoftLayer and Worklight services. IBM customers from small businesses through large enterprises will then be able to view "cloud first and "mobile first" as two sides of the same development strategy coin.

Café Populaire
Vintage tables and chairs, old books on the shelf and a fine collection of glass soda bottles all add to the retro air of this 1950s-styled jazz comptoir (counter).
Vintage tables and chairs, old books on the shelf and a fine collection of glass soda bottles all add to the retro air of this 1950s-styled jazz comptoir (counter).
Relais du Vieux Sauvaire is the hidden gem of these hills. With 180-degree views you could only dream of, this restaurant and pool (most people come here for lunch and then stay all afternoon) is one of a kind. The food is as sunny as the views: pizzas, melon and Parma ham, or whole sea bass in salt crust.
Unframed paintings and worn tile floors lend a rough-around-the-edges look to this off-the-tourist-radar restaurant on Avignon's less-glamorous side. Chef Damien Demazure once cooked under Alain Ducasse, and draws inspiration from market-fresh ingredients, combining French with Asian – ginger, lemongrass and coriander are his favorites.
A fine-dining French bistro tucked away in the corner of place d'Assas. The simple, amber-stoned façade looks homey, but the interior is light and contemporary, with swirly modern art, an open-plan kitchen and a cute interior courtyard.
Hands down the best option to eat in the Estérel is Villa Matuzia, a lovely Provençal house set 200m from the sea in Agay. It serves elaborate Mediterranean cuisine (complete with appetizers and petits fours) and the setting is charming: a cosy dining room in winter and a lush terrace for summer days.
The exquisite domain of Michelin-starred Reine Sammut, who grows a kitchen garden for her outstanding six- and nine-course formal-restaurant (lunch/dinner menus from €50/90) and more casual bistro menus (€35). Classes (€75 to €145) demonstrate how to make perfect puff pastry or succulent andouillette (pork sausage).
Opposite the Palace with an entrance ensnared by T-shirt and souvenir shops it might be, but incredibly Le Castelroc is no tourist trap.
Epicureans come from far and wide to sample Jean-Pierre Frezia's Provençal cuisine served in a sea of vineyards: red mullet and spinach cannelloni, grilled catch of the day and sensational desserts, all accompanied by some very fine wines. Dining at this isolated bastide down a single-lane track is indeed a rare treat.
This jolly wine-bar-cum-restaurant serves traditional French fare such as frogs' legs, onion soup and steak with béarnaise sauce. The atmosphere is relaxed and as you'll have guessed from the hundreds of bottles lining the walls, wine gets pride of place on the menu.
The cuisine of Salsedo, a young chef who's built a fine reputation, is local and seasonal. His menu (which, unusually, caters well for vegetarians) changes every 10 days to reflect the mood of the market stalls. The food is delightful and served without pomp on plates, rustic boards or authentic cast-iron pots.
Perched beneath the château, above Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Verger des Papes has drop-dead vistas of the Rhône from its stone terrace – ideal for a lingering lunch or romantic dinner (arrive before sunset). Specialties include succulent rack of lamb for two, plus entrecôte of beef, served with macaroni-and-cheese spiked with cèpes . Park at the château and walk down.
In Ollioules, at Domaine de Terrebrune , you can taste their wines and then dine on delicious seasonal country fare at La Table du Vigneron, the estate's traditional auberge with alfresco tables overlooking vineyards. Wine by the glass is expensive, but they throw in the champagne with the dessert course.
Inhaling the scent of sun-ripened tomatoes is one of many pleasures at this 19th-century sheepfold – the ultimate Camargue dine. Alain Ducasse–prodigy Armand Arnal cooks up a constantly changing 100% organic menu, grows much of it himself and woos guests with a mosquito-protected outside terrace. Look for the fork and trowel sign, 12km southeast of Arles on the southbound D36.
At the heart of Mougins' old village, guarded by a mighty plane tree, Le Rendez-Vous is one of the best-value restaurants you'll find in this neck of the woods. The sun-kissed cuisine is fresh, generous and mostly sourced at the Marché Forville in Cannes: think marinated sardines with sun-dried tomatoes or glacé nougat with lavender honey and citrus coulis. Booking essential.
Chef Thierry Baucher, one of France's meilleurs ouvriers (top chefs), reveals his southwestern origins in specialties like cassoulet and foie gras, but skews contemporary-Mediterranean in gastronomic dishes such as butternut-squash ravioli with escargots .
Three-course lunches at this old-fashioned brasserie start with an extensive bar of traditional French salads, followed by the day's main (add €5 for steak, if you dislike the choice), plus wine and dessert. Request the terrace (unless smoke bothers you); kids can play in the grass. Reservations essential. Tricky to find; locate the little road opposite the old train station.

Choosing an IVF Lab
The entire IVF procedure can be both physically and emotionally draining on any woman who chooses to undergo it. And of course, there is no guarantee that the procedure will be successful. For these reasons, choosing an IVF lab to see you through this procedure should be a priority for you when starting this journey. The best kind of IVF lab is usually located in a clinic that is dedicated to fertility treatments alone, since the traditional hospital environment can often leave patients feeling lousy from the procedures, as well as a bit neglected if the staff are busy with other duties. A dedicated IVF lab should be focused on making their patients feel as comfortable as possible during the procedure, which usually translates into dedicated facilities and staff that deal only with fertility issues. No emergent crises are typically present, and you have a much calmer experience in a dedicated IVF lab than in a hospital, which can make a huge difference in your morale.
Besides looking for a level of comfort for would be mothers, you should also look for an IVF lab that has a higher than average success rate when it comes to bringing healthy babies to term as the result of their treatments. Any IVF lab you consider should be more than happy to share their success rate with you, and it should be very telling if they are less than forthcoming with this information. Also, the best type of IVF lab, since it should be a dedicated, single focus facility, ought to be staffed with doctors and techs that keep up with the latest in cutting edge fertility treatments to maximize success with minimal discomfort. If you can find an IVF lab that combines all of the above elements, you are quite likely to have as pleasant an experience as possible, whether or not a successful pregnancy occurs.

Introduction In 1948 conflict in West Berlin tested President Truman's containment policy and presented him with one of the most important decisions of his presidency. In an attempt to gain control of Berlin, the Soviets blocked all roads crossing the eastern zone and effectively cut off West Berlin from receiving any supplies. West Berlin's 2 million residents were suddenly hostages in a cold war. Truman, faced with the choices of either surrendering West Berlin or sending an armed convoy to confront the Soviet blockade, chose an unlikely alternative. His solution, the Berlin Airlift, would be opposed by some, thought infeasible by many, and declared a humanitarian success by all. This Web site shows how the Berlin Airlift overcame challenges and managed to satisfy Truman's containment policy.

Place of registration : England
Registered address :
Box Mill,
Mill Lane,
The registration form only allows space for one 'offsite guardian', but the site won't allow me to submit a second form with the same reference number..... It's maddening! I'm taking my daughter and her friend, who, predictably, have different contacts at home, but, also predictably given the booking fee, I bought the tickets all in one go, with one reference number!!!!
I would give them a call. x
Reading box office should be able to help you 0118 960 6060
Thanks, yeah I'd already called, been waiting for call back; think I can fill the forms in at the gate to be honest but I'd rather do it in advance....!!
Both my teenager's guardians are going to be onsite. But the form won't let leave the offsite guardian information blank. Terrific; another poorly executed web application.
Even frustrating at the wristband exchange . Single parents and offsite guardian . I ask you !!
unable to use online form and had probablems at gate too, bad webapp
BUT good idea keeps teens tagged so parents can be contacted in event of bad behaviour/illness wonder if this is why the teens seemed quieter and less rowdy this year?
wish it could have been extended to my 10 year old the concept of a barcode that can be scanned with our phonenumber is great no more permy marker on his arm
To be fair, we were among the first at the gate and the form was completed there without any problem or delay..... No official calls to me as 'onsite guardian' summoning me to explain any undesireable behaviour either, which was a bonus!!
Agree - simpler this year than last to be able to fill in form prior to arrival - last thing you want after a five hour drive through the night is form filling when you struggle to remember your own child's details let alone his mate!
There was a bit of a glitch at the gate first thing, which led to a delay in admission. The gate staff didn't know if under 14s had to be registered, nor did they know how to locate the form online (luckily, we'd done one in advance and had hardcopy, which included the URL).
I was amused to hear one complaniac near the front of the queue moaning that she'd been "waiting hours" when it couldn't have been much more than abour 45 minutes since we'd actually entered the estate.
As far as the "offsite guardian" bit goes, surely it's failry obvious that al that is required is anything that looks like a name, address and phone number as there is no verification process.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Smoke could be visible around Fort Carson Friday and in the upcoming weeks, as the Mountain Post begins burning debris leftover from a forestry project.
According to Fort Carson, environmental staff with the base will begin burning 250 slash piles, which are branches that accumulated after a forest thinning project. The burning was prescribed in order to reduce the risks of a fire in training areas on Fort Carson.
The base said in a release that they developed a plan to reduce smoke impact by "combining favorable weather conditions with a variety of management techniques designed to keep smoke to a minimum."
The prescribed burning begins Friday and is expected to run through March.

In I should say there's a push in college sports to pay student athletes a -- on top of that full -- scholarships.
Laws on the book retired NBA basketball player an founder and president of -- on to -- youth organization.
He is with -- now frequent guest on this program -- welcome back -- -- -- -- ran the now I define -- Stein Penn and over and above the scholarship as a limited amount of spending money.
But it's new and there's -- -- to pay college athletes this stipend.
-- in the financial arena do you approve of a stipend let's start with that.
Most -- like -- -- big time college athletes I was top five recruit coming out of high school.
Grew up in public housing or welfare you know I had -- enhances system were in my pocket but.
I think once you start paying players a cycle particularly football men's basketball is a slippery slope you know solve -- -- dedicated advocated that.
Players be compensated in education.
Outside of -- sports and their majors what I mean is this I've advocated this -- -- -- university of big time money making machine.
We have to set up a fund or something dedicated to help these guys job skills.
Networking -- financial life skills personal brand development because really you know you're just.
Contributed to a short term deficit.
Though we know they're going to be many long term problems down the road all the players going to be I'm prepared want to want to just pay.
I mean that bringing in many tens of millions of dollars for the colleges that they actually -- full Windows Mobile basketball.
-- -- -- -- do what you start paying players on the you think about the the larger issue here when you start paying him.
How much is enough how do you make -- fair deal let -- market -- time after the that the market is quite yet what if Alabama wants the highest quarterback five million bucks a yeah.
And he's bringing in the money to justify my 55 million dollars -- one you just let him do it let the market decide.
Was that I think that the larger point here in the issue is how what are we gonna do that help these players long term I mean we see this -- -- have -- may be short term.
Death -- so everything went up front I think you're gonna happen but it won't tell you pay up and if you wanna give them advice on how to bounce the check the when you're paying a five million dollars the F go right ahead and do it but if you really -- -- help them.
If I -- Yeah about how many guys are actually going to go pro through I think doesn't matter that we had to do a better job of educating is million UK and one of them was a bit bringing in millions of dollars that also.
Yeah but this exacerbate this whole issue and -- vs professional and you know it's still we we think about paying these guys we're.
We're setting them up for failure down -- wrote I mean money.
In and of itself is not gonna really solve the problems that these athletes need they need scale through you know that that the world is changing.
We can't just only pay digesting -- they paid in the -- and by how much is enough.
How is it going to be fair you can't make it fair across the board you have football -- men's basketball subsidizing really all the other sports.
I think we have to really address the larger issue was given the right players deserve -- that does that thing down well there's two sides of the fence here very clearly defined.
I say let the market walk if -- bringing in millions won't pay you what a -- -- will you.
-- saying.
No don't do that you setting up Thalia.
Just give a free education and -- in the life skills to deal with successfully to down -- -- two sides of the fence right.
Not I think there can be a second but how much is enough.
You know and I think what it does is gonna few.
The players think and that they're professionals when effective supposed to be amateurs you know and I think this is a slippery slope -- what you get started down that path through.
There's no turning back well Lawrence I think -- on the path and -- also show wherever going to be able to its -- back -- on the book we always enjoy having on the show comes is again okay.
Thanks for having me thanks -- much of these you got ten seconds to make -- point.
I I typically level Laurence but I and that's -- I think he's he's wrong and by the way you know the responsibility for balancing a checkbook is on them now you can try to help them but they're not victim.
Victims here like somehow they're being you know.
-- what the market will pay and then they'll learn how to to balance -- checkbook or maybe they won't comment so.

About This Newsletter
Welcome to the latest issue of Workforce Developments, a monthly e-mail newsletter from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
This newsletter is designed to keep Indiana policy and opinion makers and other officials up to date on activities taking place in workforce development across the state. Please forward it to others you believe might find the content useful. If you prefer not to receive this newsletter, unsubscribe information is available at the bottom of this mailing.
Governor names Teresa Voors commissioner of Department of Workforce Development
Governor Mitch Daniels has appointed Teresa Voors commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
Voors took over the helms of the agency on September 21. She was the agency's deputy commissioner of strategic planning and policy and its chief counsel. Prior to joining the state government in January of 2005, she practiced labor and employment law at Baker & Daniels. Teresa Voors received her undergraduate degree from Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne and her law degree from Indiana University–Bloomington. "Teresa's service since day one of this administration at DWD makes her a natural choice to assume this role as we continue our economic comeback," said the Governor.
In addition, Governor Daniels appointed Martin "Marty" Morrow chief operating officer for the agency. Morrow had been a DWD deputy commissioner and chief information officer. He previously worked for Eli Lilly and Company and founded several software companies. He received his undergraduate degree from Iowa State University and his masters in business administration from Purdue University.
Andrew Penca returns to private sector
Former commissioner Andrew J. Penca resigned to return to the private sector. He served as commissioner since October of 2006, and was deputy commissioner for strategic research and analysis from January of 2005 until he became commissioner. "We're grateful Andrew interrupted a successful career to give three years to help develop Indiana's workforce for today's global economy," said Governor Daniels.
North Central WIRED boosts engineering education with $1.57 million investment
More middle schools and high schools in north-central Indiana now have an opportunity to adopt Project Lead the Way, a national program that certifies educators to teach pre-engineering and engineering technology subjects.
Up to $1.57 million has been designated to expand Project Lead the Way as a result of a grant by the Indiana WIRED (Workforce Innovations in Regional Economic Development) initiative. The grant supports the expansion of two areas of Project Lead the Way: providing funding for 74 additional schools to train teachers and purchase software and equipment to be able to offer the curriculum, and providing funding for a computer-integrated manufacturing course.
Purdue is the project administrator for Indiana WIRED and the affiliate university for Project Lead the Way in the state. The university also is responsible for training the program's high school teachers.
More than $1.1 million of the investment will go toward teacher training, start-up equipment and software for the Project Lead the Way curriculum in the region's middle and high schools that have not yet implemented the program. Additional funds will be used to expand the Project Lead the Way computer-integrated manufacturing course to 10 high schools in the region.
The WIRED initiative also recently funded an Entrepreneurship Academy at the Purdue Research Park. The academy exposed high school students to the importance of working in teams and the excitement of building a new organization and developing it into a productive business. Three top finishers received college tuition vouchers.
WIRED is a federal development initiative designed to help state and local communities compete in the global economy. It integrates federal, state and local investments in workforce development and economic development. The North Central Indiana WIRED grant totals $15 million from the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration and is administered through the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

New Workforce Development Web Site
As part of a state government effort to have a uniform look among all agency Web sites, the Department of Workforce Development launched a new Web site on September 24. The new look is similar to the new IN.gov Web site launched earlier this year. The Department of Workforce Development joins several agencies whose Web sites have migrated to the new look. The agencies are also sharing a new content management system.
A consequence of the new Web site is that previously bookmarked URL's will no longer be valid, and will need to be re-bookmarked.

Deadline for wage surveys extended 30 days
Indiana contractors now have until October 30 to return their completed common construction wage surveys, the Department of Workforce Development announced.
The surveys were mailed to about 17,000 construction firms in early September, and were originally due back to the state October 1. Recognizing that many contractors are very busy at the end of the construction season, the state is giving contractors more time to fill out the survey.
The common construction wage law governs public works contracts around the state and requires that the labor rates paid for all public works contracts of $150,000 or more reflect the rates commonly delivered in the county.
The state periodically updates the common construction wage through surveys seeking wage data. The results of the current survey will be published in early 2008.
The Indiana Department of Labor administers the common construction wage program.

A case of transmission with undetectable virus
From the November 2008 AIDS Clinical Care newsletter for medical providers: The documented transmission of HIV from a nonviremic patient to his partner makes a strong case for patients on successful ART to continue safer-sex practices. Earlier this year, the Swiss National AIDS Commission issued a statement suggesting that the risk for sexual HIV transmission in serodiscordant couples is negligibleand that condoms are no longer neededif the infected person is on stable suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) and does not have other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The appropriateness of this statement was hotly debated at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico, with many expressing concerns about safety. A new case report from Germany lends credence to those concerns. The case involved a 30-year-old HIV-infected man who started ART in 2000 with AZT/3TC [Combivir] and efavirenz [Sustiva]. His plasma viral load declined to less than 50 copies/mL within four months and remained undetectable for at least the next four years. During this time, he reported good adherence to ART, and the treating physician confirmed the absence of other STDs. In 2002, the patients male partner of two years tested negative for HIV infection. In May 2003, the couple became less vigilant about safer-sex practices and began having unprotected anal intercourse. In July 2004, the partner seroconverted. Phylogenetic analysis ruled out the possibility that the partner had acquired the infection from a third person. Comment: This report demonstrates that sexual transmission of HIV can occur in a serodiscordant couple, even when the initially infected partner has undetectable plasma viral loads, no others STDs, and good adherence to an antiretroviral regimen known to penetrate the genital compartment. Although compelling data demonstrate a relation between low plasma viral load and reduced risk for HIV transmission, one cannot reasonably conclude from these data that persons with undetectable viral loads pose no risk for HIV transmission. A small but real risk remains, making the promotion of safer-sex practices essential, regardless of viral load.Salim S. Abdool Karim, M.D., Ph.D. Case report from Antivir Ther 2008; 13:729.

STC Group Vice President for Strategic Affairs Dr. Fahd bin Mishait confirmed that STC group experiment in launching a venture capital fund, as the main investor, underscores its trend to have stakes in a wide scale group of promising small and medium size enterprises, especially, those in their early infantile stages, or those realizing positive cash liquidity, however, the latter case is considered as highly risky mean of financing.
In a working paper he presented to the Saudi Small and Medium Size Enterprises' Forum which took place in Riyadh, he reviewed the experiment of STC group in the domain, pointing that it is concentrating in investing in the domain of information technology, telecommunications and software programs.
STC group is keen on boosting entrepreneurship and partnership through funding those who have brand new ideas, innovations or models for businesses in need to venture capital, Mishait pointed out, notably that the working banks in the kingdom do not forward loans to such a sector, her remarked.
Selling a company funded by the venture capital fund or going public of it would yield more for the fund, which is of attract to investors and partners in the fund, he stated.
For example, the investments of big businesses and firms in so many infantile enterprises, at the time, such as in Google and Amazon, when they were private companies, have yielded a lot as well as creating thousands of significant jobs, he added.
Entrepreneurs have a rare and interesting idea about the Facebook or marketing of an internet protocol in a given university, like the Google, which helps in finding a group that identified with him, as is shown by the experiment of Apple which changed, forever, the world, he stated, a fact that venture capital funds are funding in addition to sponsoring likewise ideas, bin Mishait concluded.
STC group has announced recently investing $50 in a venture capital fund for small and medium size start-ups, through a self-financing, as the sole investor in the fund, at its early stage, while local and foreign firms, alike, would be invited to invest, later on.
The Forum witnessed the participation of 500 economist and 30 spokespersons of both private and public sectors in addition to world-class experts.

SYRACUSE (AP) -- Authorities say a lawyer employed by a federal court in Syracuse has been suspended after pleading guilty to molesting a 10-year-old boy.
Onondaga County prosecutors tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 48-year-old Thomas Smith of Lysander pleaded guilty two weeks ago in town court in his hometown to a misdemeanor charge of second-degree sexual abuse.
Smith admitted engaging in sexual contact with the boy in May and June at Smith's home.
Prosecutors say Smith will be sentenced in December to six years' probation. He'll also be required to register as a convicted sex offender.
Smith is an employee of the U.S. District Court in Syracuse, where he works in the office of Magistrate Andrew Baxter. Prosecutors say he has been suspended while federal authorities review his case.

My wife and I ate here on a trip to the city. Food was delicious and we had a lovely evening - until it was time to pay. We prefer to tip based on service given and had intended to do that, but our bill was brought back to us with the waitress claiming we hadn't paid the discretionary service charge. My wife suggested if it was discretionary then we didn't have to pay it but the waitress was insistent.silly really as we may have been tempted until then to leave more than 10% on the table. Just as we put on our jackets another waitress stopped us, claiming our banknotes were somehow out of date! We were horribly offended and felt they were suggesting we were somehow trying to defraud them and my wife suggested if they felt that way to call the police. They finally relented after we asked a waiter from Mother Mash across the road to explain to the staff that the notes were in date and legal tender. This fiasco spoilt what bad been a lovely meal out. Never again at Rosa's. If you're looking for dinner instead of drama try somewhere else.

First review could not be more wrong. Good service and friendly staff. A great week day restaurant as the service is swift and food is good. I agree with the timeout review above.

Bad service!!!!
It's a small Thai restaurant which serves both lunch and dinner, the decor is nice and the food was of good quality! The service however was not so great, terrible! First of all one of the glasses had the most disgusting smell the drink couldn't be drunk, the service is poor and theres only one person on hand to take orders clean, serve and answer the phone! It wasn't so busy when we first arrived but when customers where walking in the lady would only let people sit for an hour which seemed rude before the customer had even sat down or looked at the menus (not a great start). BEWARE as they over charge on the bill and do not give the correct change! The lady left is over £15 short and when confronted had a very unapologetic manor and horrible smirk on her face and seemed as this was planned! Overall would not go there again, nor recommend to a friend hence the 1/5 stars! Nice food but to be avoided.Loveforhorses Sat Dec 15 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
I had lunch here today which was so relaxing and friendly that I became a fixture until after dinner.
The food here was excellent and they serve amazing calamari with a crispy seasoned batter.
I then had a chicken dish which was a not to spicy, however it was full of flavour.

Ever since she shimmied down a school hallway in a not-quite-regulation school uniform, Britney Spears's attire has been shocking and awing. Looking back, those so-called scandalous outfits have become modern pop culture legends, as harmless as Elvis Presley's gyrating hips, while some of the missteps feel more like a cry for help. For better or for worse, the pop star everyone thought was disposable has found everlasting fame with these 10 unforgettable looks. We rank her highs and lows on a scale of one to five Britneys.

I heard someone phrase a criticism with the title I chose for this thread, and I thought it was a fairly compelling suggestion to consider: does Civilization V provide substantial opportunities for relatively non-aggressive, non-warlike playstyles to remain competitive with more aggressive/warlike counterparts with regard to higher levels of gameplay (such as immortal or deity?)
The reason I ask this is that I generally favor a non-aggressive game, fighting wars primarily for defensive purposes, and only when strictly necessary for winning. I'm especially inclined to favor styles of play focusing on internal development, wonders, and science victories.
My issue stems from the fact that I have noticed that these playstyles seem to work fine on any difficulty up to and including the emperor difficulty, but are fairly useless for immortal, and don't even come close to working on deity. Judging by the criticisms I've heard which I mentioned ("Civilization V: Nothing But the Sword"), should I conclude that Civilization V just favors aggressive playstyles rather than playstyles focused on internal development?
Doing my science-oriented playstyle, everything is fine up to the immortal difficulty level. As soon as I get to immortal, I can only win by more militaristic domination-oriented strategies. Is this indicative of an inherent weakness in focusing on internal development, science, and wonders when compared with militaristic strategies, or do I just need to do it a little differently in order to continue using that playstyle on immortal or deity?
I've seen on youtube vids which say they opted for a science victory - but of course their step 1 involves rushing a neighbor early, again, rather than focusing on internal development - and as far as I'm concerned, that doesn't really count. Are there any non-aggressive science-oriented strategies that will work at any level, up to and including deity?
I'm also aware some found ways to do these single-city cultural victories, and that's a little interesting, but I'm hoping for a way to win that's a bit less cheesy. Sitting there with a single city while begging 7 different superpower-ais to not kill you every few turns doesn't really interest me either.
And then, lastly, most videos of science victories on youtube are from like 2-4 years ago, so presumably they were operating under older patches, or possibly are entirely fake alltogether anyway. Anyone know some legitimate science-focused strategies for a normal map, like continents, or pangea, which even work on the immortal and deity difficulty levels? I might be able to settle with an islands strategy if there is no alternative, but I'd rather something that would work with typical standard map settings.
Any advice on this matter?
