Right now murder trial resumes in which prosecutors say and obsessed lover fueled by a jealous rage committed a horrendous crime.
-- areas facing charges that she murdered her ex boyfriend but her defense team argues she acted only in self defense.
Darius and Travis Alexander met in 2006.
They then broke up in 2007.
But apparently they continue to physical relationship and in 2008.
A friend found Alexander's body he'd been shot slashed and stabbed.
Inside his Arizona home.
Police photographs submitted as evidence captured a very gruesome scene.
The court also heard earlier recordings of -- telling investigators what she knew about Alexander's death a story that changed several times.
I heard that he would.
He passed away and then I heard it was.
I don't know I -- I didn't really think that there with a lot of global record.
Hit nearly -- network Sprint Cup anymore.
People work I had -- sorry side.
Ultimately areas confessed to killing Alexander but only after he allegedly attacked her for damaging some of his possessions.
If convicted she could become the fourth woman on death row in Arizona.
Let's talk about it with Fox News legal analyst least -- and criminal defense attorney Dowayne Kate's side Dwyane there's an awful lot of evidence against her here -- she have a case.
Well she doesn't -- here's why neither are only two people.
In that room when that when that when that's happened and and there's nobody else and one -- -- so so he can't tell any kind of story.
So there's only two people in the room and if she gets up and testified that she was attacked.
She might be able to justify what she did her attorneys -- are saying you know this is a domestic violence case abuse of a girlfriend he was an abuser they say and he controlled her.
Thing you know in the minds of a jury might that stick might that mitigate.
John I don't I don't -- I don't think so maybe mitigation but then you're talking about sentencing at the sentencing phase at after she's been found guilty.
He right now we're still the trial stage and here's why I think she's going to be found guilty.
She changed her story that is not consistent with self defense that you say first 02 men came in and an abducted him or.
He was it was suicidal or something like up and then she finally -- the truth which if I killed and then she goes into self defense well.
Then you go from her words.
To which were obviously not true the first two times today and the crying scene here is a man who I -- -- be too graphic -- -- was stabbed.
27 plus times.
His throat was split a split he was shot in the head that is not self defense that is not consistent with self defense self defense is where you literally.
Push someone back stab someone once run out of a house call the cops that kind of thing what she's saying yeah.
Really -- couldn't be self defense how I play well that's.
It could be cut defense in that.
That she was she was the victim of domestic violence in.
And over the over the period of time he abused very verbally abused her it built up -- -- -- to the point where.
When -- when he attacked -- this rage came out of her.
And -- she committed the crime AT and and she wanted to make sure that this man couldn't come after her and she kept stabbing stabbing stabbing.
-- at first about you know the lot which is imminent threat with domestic violence you've got to have that imminent threat and then you could only respond to the point.
Were reducing that threat to the white 27 stab wounds slitting the throat shooting -- -- No I don't think -- gonna -- but that was self defense.
And the fact that she already told many fabrications.
To that the two cops until TV and everybody else and that she finally -- -- Went only when the forensics came -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Believe -- at -- evidence in this case.
The evidence in this case is that there was a major struggle there was blood all over this bedroom.
Yeah -- once they have one stab wasn't going to stop this man leaves a big strong man.
There was that -- an epic struggle in that bedroom and and as you thought that that I can.
And she's the one with the gun come -- Well I guess that's why attorneys like argue in court because it's been -- pretty good argument here on television.
We're gonna continue to follow the new developments in that trial -- areas could go to death row in Arizona --

Yesterday LOVE magazine revealed a sneak peak of the Prada Fall 2012 campaign and now it's finally here. According to the press release, the Steven Meisel-lensed campaign used 'shifting camera angles and endless depth of field [to] create a playful illusion of perspective and proportion, recalling the setting for a videogame.'
Models Elza Luijendijk, Magdalena Frackowiak, Vanessa Azente, Anne V and Iselin Steiro appear sporting those statement geometric shape printed suits that we all fell in love with back in February.

Last-minute Mincemeat Christmas Cake
Self-explanatory, I think. You didn't have time, you don't want the factory version, so this one made simply with a jar of mincemeat will make a really speedy but excellent alternative.
Ingredients |
For the pre-soaking |
150ml brandy |
1 x 400g (approximately) jar luxury mincemeat |
110g no-soak prunes, roughly chopped |
50g glace cherries, quartered |
175g dried mixed fruit |
50g whole candied peel, finely chopped |
For the cake |
225g self-raising flour |
3 level teaspoons baking powder |
¼ teaspoon salt |
1½ level teaspoons mixed spice |
150g spreadable butter |
150g dark muscovado sugar |
3 large eggs |
50g Brazil nuts, roughly chopped |
50g mixed chopped nuts |
zest of 1 small orange and 1 small lemon |
approximately 18 walnut halves, 18 pecan halves, 20 whole Brazils (or any other mixture you like) |
For the glaze |
1 heaped tablespoon sieved apricot jam |
1 tablespoon brandy |

Equipment |
You will also need a 20cm round loose-based cake tin, greased with base and side lined, plus some baking parchment |
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes
Even though this is last-minute, it's best to pre-soak the fruits if you can.
So just measure out the brandy, mincemeat and fruits in the bowl, give them a good stir, then cover with a cloth and leave somewhere cool overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours.
When you are ready to make the cake, pre-heat the oven to 170C, gas mark 3.
Now all you do is sift the flour, baking powder, salt and mixed spice into a very large, roomy mixing bowl, then add the butter, sugar and eggs and beat with an electric hand whisk until everything is smooth and fluffy. Now gradually fold in the pre-soaked fruit mixture, chopped nuts and finally the grated lemon and orange zests.
Now take a large spoon and spoon it into the prepared tin, levelling the top with the back of the spoon, then arrange the whole nuts in circles or rows on the surface.
Finally, take a double square of baking parchment with a 50p-sized hole in the centre (which gives it extra protection during the cooking) and place this not on the top of the mixture itself but on the rim of the liner.
Bake the cake on the centre shelf of the oven for 2 hours or until the centre springs back when lightly touched.
Cool the cake in the tin for 30 minutes, then remove it to a wire cooling tray to continue cooling.
While that's happening, heat the apricot jam and brandy together and brush the nuts with this mixture to make them shiny and glossy.
Store the cake in an airtight tin or in parchment-lined foil and it will keep beautifully.

Our Neighbors...Hiding out with Faye Henagin
Not many people have their family name in the Urban Dictionary, a web-based dictionary of slang words and phrases mostly provided by readers. Faye Henagin does.By: Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
Not many people have their family name in the Urban Dictionary, a web-based dictionary of slang words and phrases mostly provided by readers.
Faye Henagin does.
In the Urban Dictionary, "Henagin" is defined verbatim as "the massively, enormous family native to central minnesota. generally related to everyone some way or another. product of one ancester having a hundred dayum kids. Of Irish descent.
Holy shenanigans, that girl is a Henagin, Watch out for her family, man!"
Although she isn't certain, Henagin figures there's a good chance that definition was written about her family. After all, the unusual spelling is the same. They lived in central-ish Minnesota. As well, Henagin was the youngest of 17 children born to Ken and Angeline Henagin.
The Henagin family lived on a farm about 15 miles from Camp Ripley, near Hillman, Minn.
"Brainerd and St. Cloud to the north and south and Little Falls and Onamia to the east and west," Henagin said.
"Mom called it 'God's country,'" Henagin said. "Route 4, Hillman."
She figures her mother was pregnant for 12 years and 7 ½ months in a 22-year span.
Only one baby, Joseph Gerard Henagin, never made it home from the hospital. Two other kids, Danny and Becky, died while both were in their teenage years in separate car accidents. The closest thing the Henagins had to twins were two sisters born on May 4, six years apart.
They weren't the only big family in the area.
"One family up the road had 15 kids; another had 13 and another family had 11," Henagin said with a chuckle. "The Rickes on the hill had nine. Dad always said they couldn't hit double digits because they were Lutheran."
Yes, she affirms, the Henagins were Catholic. Angeline was the head cook at the church, Holy Family in Hillman.
They were also tough, proud and incredibly hard-working farmers, raising dairy cows and pigs and whatever else on the central Minnesota farm. A family photo taken in 1975 shows the Henagin family "less one" – a brother was away in the military – standing on four steps of a church. The kids are dressed mostly in plaid; Faye was just a baby in the arms of an older sister in the back right corner of the photo.
Family reunions – held on Grandpa's farm the first full weekend in August each summer – are massive.
Henagin tells how her mother would not accept help from the county except in the two winter months when "it was a choice between feeding the kids and feeding the animals."
"That was the only time she would accept any food stamps," Henagin said. "But she would drive all the way to St. Cloud to use them. If they sent them to her the third month, she would drive them right back [to the county]."
Henagin can hold her own with people twice her age when they start talking about how tough it was "in the old days."
"I grew up in a one-bedroom farmhouse," Henagin said. "We got a bathroom [instead of an outhouse] when I was in first grade. That was 1980. "
Keep in mind that Faye was the youngest – there's a 22-year span between her and her oldest brother – that's a lot of years and a lot of kids going to the outhouse.
The bedroom took up the entire top floor of the house.
"It was just a bunch of double beds with big heavy polyester and blue jean quilts and no heat," Henagin said, adding there was a wood stove on the first floor of the house. "And we had open shelves – like in a library – for our clothes that we could turn depending on whether there were more boys or girls in the house that year."
The family garden was enormous, bigger even than the hayfield out back. Henagin said the kids would each get a 50-cent piece for the church bazaar in July if they weeded the entire garden twice.
Although they lived closer to Pierz, the kids all went to school in Onamia, because they were just over the school district border.
Faye Henagin started working outside the home when she was just 12 years old. She was supposed to be a dishwasher at a local resort where some of her sisters worked, but it got so busy her first weekend there that they put her out on the restaurant floor as a waitress.
Since then, she's been bartender, waitress, chef, store manager, National Guard soldier, clerk, caterer and mother of three.
Henagin landed in Cloquet about 13 years ago. She'd come up to visit her sister, Vicky, who worked for the Fond du Lac Head Start program here. Her sister, Sheri, lives here now, too, and works at Sunnyside Health Care Center. Then pregnant with child No. 2 – Jolisa (now13) – Henagin said she applied for a job at the dollar store that was just opening and when she got it, she decided to stay.
She's still raising her kids here: Kenny, 16, Jolisa, 13, and Jerome, 10.
And now she owns her own restaurant – named Henagin's Hideout – which is in its second incarnation, after it and Southgate Bowl were torn down last summer to make way for a new Walgreen's store. She's working hard again, but that's fine with her.
The reborn Henagin's Hideout is located at 1711 Highway 210, in the building that housed the Junction Oasis until that longtime local restaurant closed at the end of October last year.
"I've always worked multiple jobs, even before I had kids," Henagin said, rattling off the places she's worked, from Park Lake to Spirits to Trapper Pete's and Customer Link in Duluth. In between she went back to school and got two associate's degrees from Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, both in business.
Although Faye Henagin had nothing to do with the Junction Oasis closing – that was an owner decision – the timing was extremely fortuitous for the single mother, who had been trying to find a new location for her restaurant since the previous spring.
"We'd waited six months, I was getting very close to the point where I was going to sell my equipment," she said, referring to the walk-in 'fridges and freezers, tables and chairs, pizza oven and other restaurant equipment she'd had in storage since the bowling alley and adjoining restaurant were torn down.
She'd been looking all over northern Carlton County to that point. She'd thought about putting a restaurant between Super One and the hockey shelter, in downtown Cloquet, even out at the old Kolar Chevrolet (before it flooded – good thing that fell through). Everything was either too expensive to remodel or purchase or simply fell through for other reasons.
"Then ICO [which owns the building that houses both the restaurant and service station on Highway 210] emailed me to say that the Piersons had given a 30-day notice," Henagin said, telling how she lucked into the new site. "I nearly deleted the email."
For various reasons, it took closer to four weeks to reopen the restaurant than the two weeks she'd originally planned, but she took the sheets off the windows and Henagin's Hideout opened for business Nov. 26 in its new location.
"It needed some updates," she said. "But I had pretty much everything, so it all worked out in the end."
She also had a lot of help.
"It was 100 percent a group effort," Henagin said. "One day I had over 30 people here … taking wallpaper off the walls, cleaning the kitchen, coating wood, putting down tile. People were scattered all over. I'm not really an emotional person, but it was a little overwhelming."
The décor is pure Henagin.
Just like at the previous restaurant, high school sports jerseys adorn the walls, some bearing the name Henagin on the back. Others, like the White Bear Lake jersey, came from total strangers.
Like the restaurant owner, there are many stories to go with those garments.
The White Bear Lake jersey came from a team that ate at Henagin's Hideout the second week it was opened. After she told some of the parents that she was hoping to decorate the restaurant with jerseys from around the state, they gifted her with a jersey – signed by the entire team.
Then there's the checkered cheerleading skirt – complete with bloomers – hanging in a different corner. It came from some old neighbors in Onamia. Of course, there's an Onamia jersey, Faye's alma mater, that belonged to her brother Eddie who graduated in 1990, and of course the teams and car she has sponsored locally.
She's added Barnum basketball and Floodwood track since she changed locations.
Out in the front room there's a big American flag and two military shirts – one belonged to Faye, the other belongs to her nephew, Danny, who went to Iraq and Kuwait with the Cloquet-based Crazy Troop. Danny works at the restaurant now.
So far business has been good. It'll get even better, she predicts, as the menu increases and she gets more equipment installed. But it's steady already.
Henagin's Hideout basically has three streams of customers: longtime Junction Oasis patrons, fans of Faye or her cooking (or the Henagin family) and those who simple happen by.
Whether it's folks she knew growing up or people who got to know her at Park Lake, it seems like people do find Henagin eventually, even when they don't know they're looking for her.
She tells how Jason Crotty, a neighbor from back home, walked into Spirits when she was working there and told the waitress: "There's a Henagin laughing in your kitchen," he said to her.
"Well, she didn't know what he was talking about," Henagin said, noting that the woman thought the man was talking nonsense at first. "She didn't even know my last name; she just knew me as Faye."
Crotty, however, didn't know her first name. He just knew she was from that crazy huge family in central Minnesota.
"Back home I'm just another Henagin," she said. "Up here I'm somebody. I'm Faye."

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. African-American men have the world's highest incidence of prostate cancer. Statistics show that one in four African-American males will develop prostate cancer, a rate 60 percent higher than the general population.
HHC has responded to these sobering statistics with a major commitment to provide cancer screening as one way to deal with the serious health needs of at-risk New Yorkers. HHC conducts education and evaluation efforts that include Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests to screen for prostate cancer. Screenings take place at locations throughout the five boroughs and are provided at no cost to participants.
Current guidelines call for all men over 50 to be tested once a year, and for high risk males—including all African-Americans—to be tested annually after 40. The Prostate-Specific Antigen Test (PSA) is a simple, painless blood test that is able to detect many prostate cancers in at-risk men.

The latest snapshot emerged Thursday in a report that the company has released every six months for the past three years.
Review: Sony's smartwatch good, but not essential
November 15, 2013 10:41 am | by ANICK JESDANUN, AP Technology Writer | CommentsSony's new SmartWatch 2 doesn't get as much attention — and doesn't do as much — as Samsung's Galaxy Gear computerized wristwatch. But for the things it does, Sony's version performs better. The SmartWatch 2 is also 33 percent cheaper, at about $200, and works with a variety of Android phones, not just Sony's.
Government speeds research on car safety systems
November 15, 2013 10:38 am | by JOAN LOWY, Associated Press | CommentsThe government is speeding up research on safety systems that automatically prevent drivers from operating their cars if they are drunk or aren't properly buckled in. Officials also said Thursday that they expect to decide by year's end how to encourage automakers to make some special safety systems already in certain high-end vehicles available in more cars.
How do we balance needs of energy, water, and climate?
November 15, 2013 12:00 am | by Massachusetts Institute of Technology | CommentsIn deciding how best to meet the world's growing needs for energy, the answers depend crucially on how the question is framed. Looking for the most cost-effective path provides one set of answers; including the need to curtail greenhouse-gas emissions gives a different picture. Adding the need to address looming shortages of fresh water, it turns out, leads to a very different set of choices.
Rescuing the Hubble Space Telescope
November 14, 2013 5:30 pm | by Massachusetts Institute of Technology | CommentsIn the past two decades, the Hubble Space Telescope has produced thousands of staggering images of the universe — capturing colliding galaxies, collapsing stars, and pillars of cosmic gas and dust with its high-precision cameras. These images have driven many scientific discoveries, and have made their way into popular culture, having been featured on album covers, fashion runways, and as backdrops for sci-fi television episodes.

Penguin-inspired propulsion system
November 14, 2013 4:11 pm | by EurekAlert! | CommentsBack in 1991, Nature published a picture from the IMAX movie Antarctica, along with the caption: "Emperor penguins may be waddling jokes on land, but underwater they can turn into regular rockets…accelerating from 0 to 7 m/s in less than a second."

Rhinitis is a condition that involves a constant runny nose, sneezing, and nasal stuffiness. When these symptoms are not caused by hay fever or allergies, the condition is called non-allergic rhinitis. One type of non-allergic rhinitis is called vasomotor rhinitis.
Rhinitis - nonallergic; Idiopathic rhinitis; Nonallergic rhinitis
Vasomotor rhinitis is not caused by an infection or allergy. The exact cause is unknown. Symptoms are triggered by something that irritates the nose, such as:
The doctor will ask you about your symptoms, when they occur, and what seems to trigger them.
You will also be asked about your home and work environment. The doctor may look inside your nose and see that the tissues lining the nose are swollen due to inflamed blood vessels.
Allergy skin tests may be done to rule out allergies as a cause of your symptoms.
Blood tests to determine your total blood levels of IgE (allergic antibody) and total circulating eosinophil count (a type of white blood cell) may be ordered.
The primary treatment is simply avoiding the things that trigger your symptoms.
In some cases, decongestants or a nasal spray containing an antihistamine may help. Corticosteroid nasal sprays may be useful for some forms of vasomotor rhinitis.

NEW! One Shoulder Beaded Dress with Side Slit
Style F15519
This item is available in stores and online.*
A stunning and romantic look, your bridesmaids will love to wear again!
An uneven design element that creates interest; it may be gathering of fabric on one side, an uneven hem or a one-shoulder strap. |
One Shoulder Beaded Dress with Side Slit Style F15519
Looks Great on All!!
I recently went to David's Bridal to purchase bridesmaid dresses for four bridesmaids- one smaller maid, one medium sized maid, and two fuller figured maids. After saying absolutely not to several dresses, we found this dress. It was absolutely stunning! The elegance was astounding. The thing I loved the most about it was the way it complimented each girl and their figure perfectly. Besides that, the girls told me the fabric was a must have. The "mesh" was described by my girls as bouncy, light, and comfy... perfect for my June wedding!
We purchased with little deliberation in the regency color. I would definitely recommend this dress to others with a variety of sizes of maids and to those who have bridesmaids who would like to be comfy, yet elegant!

Interesting pictures, right?
This is a news story about Madonna. Who appears to have just joined instagram and started to share photos.
The reason we say APPEARED, is that there has been no official word for the singer's camp if this account is indeed officially Madonna (instagram doesn't use any sort of verification system like twitter.
However, we should note, that at the time of this post, the account had more than 100,000 follows.
So, it begs the question... is the above photo Madonna's cleveage?
Is the below photo Madonna's martini??
I guess we'll just have to wait and find out!
That confludes this news story.

The Board of Directors of the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust has selected two winners for the 2012 Phil Rather Award for Leadership in Healthcare this year. PVUSD's Fitness 4 Life program will be honored on May 16, before a crowd of more than 100 guests, the Health Trust will honor the winners at the Rather Award reception from 5:30 -7:30 p.m. at the foundation's community conference space at 85 Nielson Street.
Fitness 4 Life, is the recipient of the Organizational Category. The Health Trust created the Phil Rather Award for Leadership in Healthcare in 1999.
F4L is dedicated to developing skills in youth for a healthier future. F4L serves 18 after school sites, allowing over 2,000 kindergarten through 8th graders to take part in various alternative high energy triathlon training activities. Activities include swimming, biking, salsa and hip-hop dance, sports, soccer, exercise and fitness. Students participate at their school sites, and weekly 12 school groups (400 first through eight graders) are also bussed to the local high school. 85 percent are Hispanic and 82 percent qualify for free and reduced price school meals. These students have a chance play table-tennis, swim, and participate in hands-on nutrition education. Their physical fitness activities change every nine weeks as they train for the triathlon, becoming more physically fit and adopting healthy eating patterns. Many of these students didn't know how to ride a bicycle or swim (even though they live just a few miles from the ocean) before they became involved in the program's triathlon training.
The award was inspired by its namesake and first recipient, Phil Rather, whose volunteer leadership in health care spanned more than 30 years in the Pajaro Valley. The Rather Award recognizes and honors individuals and/or organizations in the community whose contributions of time, effort and/or philanthropy have helped make a difference in the quality of our community's health care.

I'm not sure if I said it before but I WANT THE CHIMES BACK. The chimes that used to play when you'd launch a game that is to say before the slim ps3 came out. ah yes, I don't know what it is but I (and many others), used to get some sort of satisfaction from it. Before the the slim came out, on the fatter, older and superior plastation 3's , Before a game would start, PLAYSTATION 3 Would come across the screen and would be accompanied by the chimes. This logo and the chimes were certainly part of the playstatons branding and shold continue to be so. Now when the playstation is started, I get this horrible wishy-washy type PS3 logo, with a new boot sound. "Sony computer entertainment" is no longer displayed. Also another thing changed when i downloaded the compulsory update when the slim came out was that all of these distracting sparkles emerged on the theme (Without any input from me) but thankfully it is possible to rectify this and revert back to the old theme. However, sparkles still annoyingly appear on my screen upon start up the machine. What I want is to rectify the other mistakes (in my opinion) made by the slim update. That is, a way to display "PLAYSTATION 3" when starting a game and also to get the orginal start up display and sound.

This is an arrival day. There are no activities planned, so after checking into the hotel, set out to explore the city. Go to La Ciudad de Nuestra Señora de La Paz (the City of Our Lady of Peace) as it is a great place to discover on foot. Arrive in La Paz, but be careful as the altitude, and the resulting lack of oxygen may affect you. It may take a little time to acclimatize to this, but you will probably not even notice it before long. Take it easy for the first day or two, and cut back on alcohol and cigarette consumption to minimize the effects. You may also find that your appetite is reduced. This is no cause for alarm, but simply a reaction to the altitude. Drink plenty of water and do not attempt too much in any given day. Founded by Alonso de Mendoza in 1548, La Ciudad de Nuestra Señora de La Paz (the City of Our Lady of Peace) is the highest capital in the world. Although Sucre is the official capital, La Paz is the Bolivian centre of commerce, finance and industry, and the de facto capital. This is a busy modern city, with its centre at the base of a canyon 5 km (3 miles) wide and sprawling impromptu housing all the way up the surrounding hillsides. The city is at nearly 4000 m (13,120 ft) above sea level, so visitors should be prepared for cool evenings and mornings. Explore the city's many fine museums or its historic ecclesiastical structures, such as the Iglesia de San Francisco, whose architectural details reflect the indigenous and mestizo heritage of modern Bolivia. The city is also renowned for its many markets, including the Mercado de Hechicería (Witches' Market), where Paceños and visitors may purchase potions and incantations made from all sorts of herbs, seeds, and secret ingredients to remedy any number of illnesses (real or imagined) and protect from evil spirits. With streets lined with market stalls and vendors, the pace on the street and the vibrant atmosphere is an incredible experience. Visit the black market and Carnaval market, where locals purchase carnival costumes. It will not be difficult to find shops selling all sorts of handicrafts, mainly alpaca wool products, silver jewellery, woven textiles and leather goods. Try one of the optional activities in La Paz which include museums, excursions to Tiahuanaco ruins (cradle of Inca civilization), or a visit to the world's highest ski resort, Chacaltaya (5600 m/18,368 ft). To the south of the city is the Valley of the Moon, with crater-like formations made of sand.
Transfer to the airport for a flight to Sucre and prepare to meet your G Adventures leader. Sucre is a fascinating, historic town, so take the time to explore the variety of museums and colonial buildings. Often referred to as Bolivia's White City, the country's official capital, Sucre, is situated at nearly 2800m (9184 ft) above sea level and offers its visitors and inhabitants a more moderate, comfortable climate than cities at a higher elevation. Before the conquest, military, religious and political leaders of the local indigenous population made their homes on the present day city site. The site became the headquarters for the Spanish Royal Court, which by the late 1700s ruled over colonial Paraguay, parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, and most of Bolivia. In 1825, in the wake of the Latin American independence movement, the city was renamed Sucre, after Simon Bolívar's second-in-command, General Antonio Jose de Sucre. The city's fine museums, colonial buildings and ties to the independence movement make it a city of great historical interest. Optional activities include a visit to dinosaur footprints, an old tin baron's mansion, a textile cooperative, mountain biking and hiking. La Paz to Sucre Estimate trael time: 45 minutes
Situated at 4070m (13,350 ft), Potosí is the highest city of its size on earth. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1987 in recognition of its tragic history in the mining of silver during the time of Spanish colonization. Potosí provided a large share of the silver mined and shipped back to Spain until the early 1800s, when both the supply of silver and world market prices began to decline; it's said the silver taken out of Cerro Rico (rich hill) propped up the Spanish empire for over 300 years. Working conditions for miners were appalling, and a large portion of the indigenous population was decimated. African slaves were brought in to replace the native workers, and it is estimated that as many as eight million indigenous people and Africans died in the mines during the first three centuries of Spanish colonial rule. Though sometimes distressing and uncomfortable because of the harsh working conditions, make sure to experience the trip underground into the mines of today. It is not to be missed. Sucre to Potosi Approximate distance: 79.31km Estimate travel time: 3 hours
Spend three days in the stunning landscapes between the Salar de Uyuni and the Atacama Desert (Chile), exploring by four-wheel-drive vehicles. Driving across the salt flats is a fantastic experience, particularly for the contrast of piercing blue skies and blinding white salt on the flat lakebed. The area's unusual landscape of mountains, active volcanoes, and geysers is like nowhere on earth. Despite its isolation and challenging climate (cold and blustery most of the year), Uyuni has earned the nickname of Hija Predilecta de Bolivia (Bolivia's Favourite Daughter). Most of its hardy residents are either Public Sector workers or salt miners in the dried out lakebeds, with tour operators a close third. The main attraction in town is the Train Cemetery, a collection of rusting railway relics, just southwest of the present train station. It is also the starting point for our 3-night excursion through the spectacular Salar de Uyuni in 4X4 vehicles. Twice submerged by a large, high-altitude lake, the salt flats now cover a total area of over 12000 square km (7440 square miles) and are one of the country's main salt mining centres. The last large lake dried up about 8000 years ago, leaving the small lakes of Poopó and Ururu, as well as the salt flats of Uyuni. Absorb stunning views of the salt-encrusted lakebed surrounded by golden-hued mountains, snow-capped peaks and an endless azure horizon that will forever engrave itself in your memory. The tour takes us through Laguna Colorada, 4278 m/14,031 ft (a large red lagoon, the colour of which is due to algae & plankton growth in the mineral-rich waters), and Laguna Verde, at 5000 m (16,400 ft), a striking blue-green lake (high concentrations of lead, sulphur, copper and other minerals). The numerous geysers, boiling mud pools, and thermal baths, and Licancabúr volcano 5960 m (19,549 ft), which looms just behind the lagoon, are clear evidence of the region's association with volcanic activity. Surprisingly, both wildlife and flora manage to survive and even thrive in the desolate landscape; this includes vizcachas (of the rodent family), flamingos (3 varieties), and assorted varieties of cacti. Return to Uyuni from the salt lakes excursion and catch the night bus/train on the night of Day 9 back to the bustling city of La Paz, arriving by midday the following day. Potosi to Uyuni Approximate distance: 149km Estimate travel time: 6 hours
Return to Uyuni from the salt lakes excursion and catch the night bus/train on the night of Day 9 back to the bustling city of La Paz, arriving by midday the following day.
Explore or shop in one of the many markets of La Paz during this free day. The city is an especially good place to buy textiles and leather-work. Make sure to visit the Witches' Market - it's not everywhere you can buy a dried llama fetus (locals bury them under a new house for good luck, as a stillborn fetus is revered as an offering to Pacha Mama, or Mother Earth). Today is the last day to get your final taste of this unique country. Uyuni to La Paz Approximate distance: 462.97 km Estimate travel time: 10 hours

Acappella Northern Italian Cuisine
Online Reservations
Was more upmarket and formal than I expected, but it was a nice surprise and the service was excellent.
Fantastic service. Staff was extremely well organized. The food was superb, every single plate served was worth the wait.
Great staff, awesome service - very friendly and the food was exceptional. Not big portions - so make sure to order appetizer.
The restaurant was well worth the ride from our hotel on Central Park South. As soon as we were seated we were provided with a tasty array of complimentary munchies. We had decided to share a number of appetizers and they were automaically plated for each person...a very nice touch. Entrees among our group included meat,fish and pasta. All dishes were delicious and more than ample. Only a couple of us had room left for desser, but those that did, were not disappointed. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. They made you feel like you were dining with old friends. Our only regret was that we live too far to dine here more frequently!
I've eaten in many of the best restaurants in the country and I've never had better service, warm, vibrant, quick to anticiipate needs. There were 3 in our party. The appetizers and the entrees were excellent with one exception, my entree, which was a lobster ravioli with a too heavy cream sauce. I had them take it away and bring me something else, which they did promptly and the substitute a pasta with sea food dish in a light wine sauce was excellent. All in our party agreed, a wonderful find. Only one caveat: the acoustics in the place aren't great, not terrible, but I prefer a little more quiet.
Excellent dining experience. Excellent northern italian food. Excellent service. Excellent surprise drink at the end! Excellent all around.
Every entree was excellent and the everyone was very friendly and attentive. We are looking forward to going back again in the future.
Went here on last minute choice and was not dissapointed. While the prices were higher than I like the service more than made up for this. Waiters are constantly bringing you little tidbits of food and the overall experience was great.
We try to dine at Acappella whenever we are in NYC. It's out favorite place for celebratory occasions! We always receive a warm welcome, and feel as if we're at "home" amongst friends! From the warm service, to the fabulous food to the house-made grappa and flaming desserts it's sure to be a diner's delight! We have, and continue to have a very special place in our heart for the staff at Acappella! Bon Appetito'
The staff made my party feel like family from the time we entered the restaurant until we parted. The food was very rich and flavorful. This location is great for both special occasions and business luncheons. The location is very convenient and accessible by all forms oftransit.
I live about 1/2 a block from Acappella, and can't believe last night was my first time here. It has an old school upscale Italian dining feel. The service is fantastic, I especially loved the guy who explains the specials. Immediately after taking our drink order, we were served fresh brushchetta, parmesan, fried zucchini, and a cured meat. We ended up ordering mostly specials, starting with a portabella mushroom, app, then had the squid ink pasta, followed by the veal scallopine. After our delicious meal, we were served complimentary grappa, which was a little strong for me but a nice finishing touch. I thought it was very reasonably priced for what we got. The food was all fresh and well prepared. I will be back.
Always great food and services at Acappella. Dinning room is nice with high ceilings and brick walls adorned with tapestry's Wine list is strong on Italian vintages.
They treat you like royalty at Acappella. The second you sit down, you immediately have a drink list, water, bread, an appetizer, and a great chunk of parmesan cheese. Sometimes 5 different people will be delivering all of those items to you. You feel like the most important person in the room. The ambiance is fantastic. The food is always wonderful. My husband's favorite dish is the open flame pork. It is romantic, elegant, and worth every penny. We usually finish our night with some grappa or lemoncello. The wine list is extensive, and there is something for every budget. We love this restaurant and go there once a year (since we are from Boston).
Truly a great Italian experience. We felt like like longtime customers on our first visit. Pasta was perfect, as was the lamb. Worth the trip to the financial district for a great dinner.
I rarely have time for a mid-week business lunch and headed to Acappella somewhat reluctantly. Arriving at this well-appointed, if somewhat old world italian restaurant did little to assure me that this would be anything other than a long, drawn-out tiresome chore. Low and behold, the service was attentive without being over-bearing and the dover sole, prepared at the table, was exceptional! We were in and out in under an hour and I am still thinking about the fish, weeks later.
A special restaurant with great food, attentive service and east to talk in a no rush environment. Had a portobello mushroom that was outstanding with fresh Branzini. Espresso with Grappa after. Special place good for business lunches.
My first time at Acappella but it won't be my last. Excellent Italian fare with service to match. Very welcoming management. A winner.
I've been to Acappella with my wife several times....this was the first time entertaining work colleagues and friends. This place never ever disappoints me! The food is outstanding (try the Veal Chop Mt. Etna!!) and the service is second to none! From the minute you walk through the door you're made to feel like family! Looking forward to a return visit on 7/13!
This was my 6th or 7th time at this awesome Italian restaurant. From the moment I walk in the door, to the moment I leave, the place feels like family. The service is impeccable. From the host to the maitre'd to the wait staff, just amazing. And by the way, the food is spectacular. My son had the veal chop, which as a Texas-size high school offensive lineman, he found to be as tasty as it was filling. The rest of our meals were off the chart awesome. I ordered the lobster ravioli off menu and in addition to a sauce that brought out and enhanced the flavor of both the pasta and the ravioli, the chef was kind enough to sprinkle the entire dish with pieces of lobster. Not enough superlatives ... what a great restaurant!!
This was an incredible restaurant. I consider this one of the best Italian restaurants in New York.
Very expensive! More of the offerings are specials than on the printed menu and they don't provide pricing in their recitation so the bill was a bit of a shock. The food was excellent and the service attentive but bring your extra wallet.
Fascinating place you really do feel like you are in a scene from the God Father. The amazing staff make you fell like you are truly in Italy. The decor is a little dated and old but this adds to the charm of the place. The food is also amazing the sampler plates are a real treat for being able to try many of the great dishes which they have to offer.
Top notch food and superb service make Acappella a good bet if you are in the area.
Great being back at Acappella, the food is always top notch as is the service. Special thanks to the staff for another great dinning experience. BTW the fig grappa was out of this world, we had a wonderful anniversary. C U Soon !
Time warp to a 60's - 70's top end Italian joint. Solicitous service. Excellent takes on classic Italian delivered with a flourish. I ordered pasta off the menu and the waiter saw that I got a delicious take on the requested theme. A Portobello appetizer special was very nice. The feel is either retro or geriatric, depending on your sensibilities. It's in Tribeca, so maybe retro. Very quiet the day we went in for lunch.
Service and food are tops at Acappella. Nice wine list.
Very authentic northern Italian food. Homemade pasta was excellent. Everything was fresh. Outstanding service.
If you are looking for a romantic restaurant with top notch food and service this is the place for you. The staff treats you like family from the moment you walk through the doors.
I had been to Accapella once before and enjoyed it so much I took a girlfriend from London there this past Saturday. From the moment we walked in the door until we left we were very well looked after. After we were told the 'specials' we didn't even need to look at the menu! Although from the quick peek I had it looked lovely. Highly recommended.
Best pasta Everest had, fantástic service and great atmosphere . A most for a couple job likes Italian food
We were led to our table where an army of staff greeted us. Throughout our dinner the service was constant and very professional. Food was very good from pasta dishes to veal. Wine list is extensive although pricey. Noise level is high but then again this is NYC.
From the decor to the service to the food...this is classic Italian all the way...a lost art...and one that I'm glad I found. The food was delicious - the complimentary grappa at the end of the meal was a lovely touch...and the personal service from the waitstaff made my father's birthday a truly special evening.
A city treasure. The best lobster ravioli, the best staff, perfect ambiance, perfect meal. Always amazing!!
We were celebrating Veteran's Day for my brother and had a magnificent time. Wonderful atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and by the end of the night, you will feel like you are transported into northern Italy for few hours without flying! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. They even gave us dessert "on the house" in honor of Veterans' day. Thank you for making this special day even better!
What a wonderful, pleasant, friendly, comfortable, most upscale experience I have ever had. I entertain for a living and this has to be one of the best experiences from start to finish I have had. I took a groups of 8, mixing family and business people together. While you should expect food to be of a certain quality and selection at an establishment of this level ( which expectations were exceeded), it was our table captain and his servers that made this a most memorable experience for a group of out of towners... Go, eat, enjoy. I very seldom do the same restaurants when traveling but I will definetely be taking my own family there next trip!
The food, service, wine list was amazing. Made a huge impression on the woman I was went for a first date. The maître d' made you feel like a regular the minute you walk in the door. I am looking forward to my next visit back to this restaurant.
Everything was great, from the nice greeting we got as we entered to the end of the meal. The wine steward was especially helpful. All of the courses were terrific, and well presented. We asked for a quiet table, and were seated in a nice area in a corner. If you are seeking to splurge on an exquisite dinning experience, in a quite setting with a few special people, this is the place for you. The food was divinely prepared and presented course by course. A very knowledgeable and attentive staff made sure our glasses were always full (both water and wine). An experience I hope to re-peat.
Wonderful food, fantastic staff, very enjoyable will return again
This is a Fantastic Restaurant! The staff attends to your every need, and as we left we were greeted by the owner himself. How Great is That!!!
Took a client here for dinner. Service was fabulous, great wine selection. Room is beautifully appointed. And the food....delicious. I had never been here before but will definitely be back. Loved it!!
My husband and I were first diners of the evening. Service was over-the-top, for instance refilling our water glasses after we had had each sip. Delicious Parmesan was served out of a Parmesan wheel as a complimentary introduction to the evening. We shared a delicious rigatoni appetizer, which featured sausage and mushroom in a cream sauce. The kitchen was glad to divide the salad, which we also shared. The chicken breast entree special was lovely. We were surprised not to be able to wait until after the appetizers were served to decide on our entrees. The server insisted we place our order all at once. It's easy to suspect they do that because the appetizers would have sufficed for an entire meal.
Service was impeccable and the food excellent. You feel like you are dining in Italy! I will definitely go back.
We had been to Acappella about 5 years ago during a visit to NYC and had a first class dining experience. When returning with friends we wondered if it would still be as wonderful and are happy to say that it was, Sergio and his team are incredible! The service is very attentive, the food is outstanding and the restaurant is always hopping. We will definitely return any time we have reason to be in New York!
They have a menu, but this is an old-school make it like you like it kind of place. I have been to Acappella a handfulll of times and it is consistently the best italian i have eaten. You can expect everything to be good. Simply check the prices to insure that they fit your budget.

When opening up a new corporate bank account, are initial deposits looked at as income, and therefore considered taxable? Or are they counted as 'funding' (or some other term) and therefore considered non-taxable?
Also, what happens if additional "funding" monies are contributed at later dates? Are those subsequent funding contributions potentially on the hook for corporate income tax as well?

Rush bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Toronto Blue Jays home opener on April 2nd, as the Jays host the Cleveland Indians.
Lee has been a longtime Blue Jays season ticket holder and baseball fan.
"I would like to see the Blue Jays win the World Series this year," I don't want to jinx them by saying they are going to, but I think it's going to be a fun season. I think there are three or four teams that have a good shot at being in the playoffs: California Angels, Los Angles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and the Toronto Blue Jays have a shot, too."
Following the Blue Jays event, Geedy and Rush will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 18 at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live.
The same week, Rush are nominated for two 2013 Juno Awards in their Canadian homeland.

Initially, Joop! is an overpowering spicy scent with a cloying sweetness I found to be off-putting. It finishes with a softer, powder-like scent but that sickening sweet and heavy note continued to linger as well...I don't like it and won't recommend it.

Loading... My Ántonia (Oxford World's Classics) (original 1918; edition 2009)by Willa Cather, Janet Sharistanian (Editor)
Work detailsMy Ántonia by Willa Cather (1918)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Book Circle Reads 164 Rating: 3.5* of five The Publisher Says: The story of Ántonia Shimerda is told by one of her friends from childhood, Jim Burden, an orphaned boy from Virginia. Though he leaves the prairie, Jim never forgets the Bohemian girl who so profoundly influenced his life. An immigrant child of immigrant parents, Ántonia's girlhood is spent working to help her parents wrest a living from the untamed land. Though in later years she suffers betrayal and desertion, through all the hardships of her life she preserves a valor of spirit that no hardship can daunt or break. When Jim Burden sees her again after many years, he finds her "a rich mine of life", a figure who has turned adversity into a particular kind of triumph in the true spirit of the pioneer. My Review: There is a lovely, burnished mellowness to this book. Re-reading it almost exactly forty years after the first read has changed a lot of my ideas about it, not all for the better. One thing that hasn't changed at all is the pleasure I take in Willa Cather's clear, unfussy prose, and her quite masterly ability to paint a vivid, lifelike picture with few words. Where I am less taken with her work now than I was in 1973 is in plotting. Then I was transported, and I was uncritically accepting of the slowness of pace as representative of the time she wrote about. Now I can't help thinking WHIP IT UP LADY!! MOVE MOVE MOVE!! And, as all who have finished the short novel know, she doesn't. The fact that not one soul changes, except in aging terms, is (I suppose) quite an achievement. Ántonia, when visited by the adult-but-still-childlike Jim, proves to be the free-spirited gal of his memories only now she doesn't do much about it. For me as a 54-year-old reader, that isn't an ending so much as a stopping place. Short novels written in spare prose by women exist that do not use this "sadder, wiser, but a girl forever" trope (eg, Ethan Frome). I don't like that near as well now as I did then. So a lower rating for the re-read than the first read, and as much as I reveled in the storytelling voice, this isn't a book I'd recommend to novice Cather-readers. Start with Death Comes for the Archbishop, which improved in my esteem upon a re-read in my middle forties. Quite the plot-driven piece, that one, allied to Cather's sumptuous, simple prose. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Aside from hearing the title and the author's name I knew nothing of this book prior to picking it up the other day. I did so because a number of friends were reading the book together and knew I should get in on the action. I am glad I did. This was a wonderfully straightforward tale rendered beautifully by simple yet powerful language. It was the type of book that evoked sentimentality from me. For what though, I'm not really sure. As another reviewer (Mo) says, "i like the sense of nostalgia that permeates the book." Here is an example of that nostalgia that really struck me: As I went back alone over that familiar road, I could almost believe that a boy and girl ran along beside me, as our shadows used to do, laughing and whispering to each other in the grass. A special thanks to all the FFs who's reading it right now. I'm glad I picked this one up. Classics often make for great book discussions. Whether people are re-reading old favorites, re-reading books they read in high school with adult eyes, or finally reading books they have never gotten to off their reading lists, classics have become classics because they are inherently discussable and have withstood the test of time. My Antonia is told as a recollection of Jim Burden's Nebraska childhood and his friendship with Antonia Shimerda. Antonia is part of a Bohemian immigrant family that arrives in Nebraska on the same train as Jim and who settles on a neighboring farm. Together, Jim and Antonia explore their new home. Later, Antonia goes to work for Jim's family. While Jim is away at college, Antonia becomes engaged and moves to Denver. However, her fiancé abandons her, and she bears a child out of wedlock. Life once again separates the friends, as Jim becomes a lawyer and Antonia becomes a wife and mother. Prairie life and environment, immigrant experience, suicide, our relationship to the past, and the evolution of frontier values are all possible directions for discussion. This is the first book that I've read by Willa Cather and to be honest I was expecting an awful lot more. I really can't see why this book has attained its classic status: clearly a lot of people love it but I struggled to see the attraction and might not even have finished it (unusual for me) if it hadn't been so short. The description of the landscapes of the Nebraskan prairie in the first part of the novel was the only area where the book lived up to expectations, but this was completely overshadowed by the weak characterisation and absence of any plot. The story revolves around a young orphan Jim Berden who, on his parents' death, is sent to live on his grandparents' farm in rural Nebraska. On the same train that brings Jim to Nebraska are also some Bohemian immigrants, the Shimedas, who have purchased the neighbouring farm. As the Shimedas struggle through their first winter, Jim develops a friendship with their daughter Antonia, only a couple of years older than him. Despite the title of [My Antonia] the book follows rather the course of Jim's life: but as he moves with his grandparents into the town of Black Rock and later into the city to pursue a college career, his interest in Antonia continues. Antonia is clearly meant to represent an archetypal pioneer woman struggling with hardship and yet holding her family together through thick and thin. Perhaps this was the problem for me: it is much more difficult to care about an archetype than a living and breathing human being and so I didn't feel at all bound up in the fate of Antonia, or in that of any of the other characters of the book for that matter. There is far too much telling rather than showing, with the reader routinely being brought up to date with each character's history in a few paragraphs, which increases the effect of everyone seeming rather distant and unreal. And there isn't much plot, just a young man's fairly uneventful journey into adulthood: I can cope without plot if the rest of the book makes up for it, but here it did not. I feel rather guilty giving such a low rating to such a highly regarded book, but in all honestly from a personal perspective I can't give it any more. So two and a half stars only.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 039575514X, Paperback)It seems almost sacrilege to infringe upon a book as soulful and rich as Willa Cather's My Ántonia by offering comment. First published in 1918, and set in Nebraska in the late 19th century, this tale of the spirited daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family planning to farm on the untamed land ("not a country at all but the material out of which countries are made") comes to us through the romantic eyes of Jim Burden. He is, at the time of their meeting, newly orphaned and arriving at his grandparents' neighboring farm on the same night her family strikes out to make good in their new country. Jim chooses the opening words of his recollections deliberately: "I first heard of Ántonia on what seemed to be an interminable journey across the great midland plain of North America," and it seems almost certain that readers of Cather's masterpiece will just as easily pinpoint the first time they heard of Ántonia and her world. It seems equally certain that they, too, will remember that moment as one of great light in an otherwise unremarkable trip through the world.Ántonia, who, even as a grown woman somewhat downtrodden by circumstance and hard work, "had not lost the fire of life," lies at the center of almost every human condition that Cather's novel effortlessly untangles. She represents immigrant struggles with a foreign land and tongue, the restraints on women of the time (with which Cather was very much concerned), the more general desires for love, family, and companionship, and the great capacity for forbearance that marked the earliest settlers on the frontier. As if all this humanity weren't enough, Cather paints her descriptions of the vastness of nature--the high, red grass, the road that "ran about like a wild thing," the endless wind on the plains--with strokes so vivid as to make us feel in our bones that we've just come in from a walk on that very terrain ourselves. As the story progresses, Jim goes off to the University in Lincoln to study Latin (later moving on to Harvard and eventually staying put on the East Coast in another neat encompassing of a stage in America's development) and learns Virgil's phrase "Optima dies ... prima fugit" that Cather uses as the novel's epigraph. "The best days are the first to flee"--this could be said equally of childhood and the earliest hours of this country in which the open land, much like My Ántonia, was nothing short of a rhapsody in prairie sky blue. --Melanie Rehak (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:47 -0400) A New York lawyer remembers his boyhood in Nebraska and his friendship with a pioneer Bohemian girl.

text: Not a set of Strauss recordings, but a fantastic set of lost European recordings by the legendary Clarke/Boland Big Band – put together with the same beautiful packaging and selection as the other sets on Rearward! This volume features the band playing a lot of modal waltz-type tracks – some groovy updatings of Strauss material, others original compositions by Francy Boland, and a few of them covers like "Wives & Lovers" or "My Favorite Things". The band's filled with the usual great batch of European and American players, like Benny Bailey, Ake Persson, Johnny Griffin, Sahim Shihab, and Karl Drewo – and the liveliness of the material gives strong testament to the band's current rediscovery by the jazz cognoscenti. As with the other sets in this series, there's a nice amount of liner notes and photos, and the album's brimming over with great tracks, including "Lotus", "Just Give Me Time", "Peter's Waltz", "Keep On Keeping On", and "Cara Fea". Many tracks unreleased before, and lots of others are quite rare! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Chatbox and admin panel problems
I installed Nchat on my forum then when everytime I typed and press enter, nothing appears. Meaning you cannot chat on the chatbox. And another problem my members are allowed to access our admin panel. They may mess something up in the admin panel. Help me here. :D Need reply ASAP.
Jakob von Feldern:
On your first issue: have you tried using a different browser? Also, if you're using Firefox with an addon like NoScript, you might want to either disable it temporarily or add your site to the whitelist. :)
Second issue: Could you post a screenshot of your permission settings for your regular users?
First issue: I don't have an addon like that. I already tried Google Chrome.
Second Issue: I cannot provide any screenshot now because I cannot access my forum and I don't know why. Help me fix it. Need reply ASAP. Thanks
Jakob von Feldern:
Well, have you tried another browser like Opera or Firefox? Sometimes it's just a small issue that could be fixed by using a different browser. :)
And on your second issue - what was the last thing you did on your forum as an admin?
Welcome to SMF andrei07.
Can you provide a link to your forum so we can try to take a look? The only way members would be able to access your admin panel would be if you buggered up the permissions. It sounds like you may need to revert to a backup, before you added the Nchat.

The ghosts of virulently anti-Semitic nuns may haunt Mel Gibson's new film about Jesus' final days, some Catholic and Jewish scholars are warning.
The growing hype concerns charges that "The Passion" blames Jews for Jesus' death. Gibson denies any anti-Semitic intent, and little attention has focused on the sources for his screenplay.
