Ahh, sorry this is way late. But yeah. I was considering it. But then I realised it wouldn't work, as Dil is very difficult to get on with, and he'd remind most of Kipling's friends of Calico, so they'd probably look for someone else to work with.

Cairo: Yeah, Kontar loves swimming, don't you? He's always loved water, ever since I first met him. I don't suppose you'd like swimming though, Will? It seems a strange thing for a Torchic to like.

starseekers said: Tikay @ Dogen: Hey Dogen! How does one know when their mind is being read? I hear Bis does it all the time to you! Seriously, I think Gabi might be able to do it too, but I'm not sure!
Dogen: It depends on many things, Tikay. First, it depends on what memories or thoughts are being accessed - active thoughts, and important memories are harder to read without being detected, or so Bis tells me, and so I have experienced. Second, it depends on who it is that is reading your mind. If it is someone you know and trust, subconsciously you may let them in easier. But I find, for myself, I can always detect when someone other than Bis tries to read my mind. Perhaps it is because he and I are very close and that I don't really trust many others (not to mention the fact that I'm always cautious around strangers).
Thirdly, it depends on how strong their mind is, and how delicate they can be with their psychic powers. Bis, for example, is very quiet and careful when reading my mind, because he has a strong hold over his power. I have met a few who are loud and clumsy when trying to pick out my thoughts, and I'm easily alerted to the fact that they are prying. Fourthly, the intentions of the one who is reading your mind can alert you. Bis always reads my thoughts with good intentions in his heart, and he is always happy to quietly make himself known. But there are some out there who are very sly and crafty, and it can be very hard to detect their presence if they control their emotions well.
And lastly, it depends on you yourself, and how well you know your own mind. Bis has become a welcome guest in my head, because I know him as well as I know myself, and I trust him with my life. I have nothing to hide from him, and we are honest and open with each other. I hope this answered your question, Tikay? If not, I could explain it more indepth for you?

He moved through the wooded area with stealth, and the loudest noise he made was the steady, slow breaths he quietly drew in and exhaled. A movement in the sun dappled bushes to his right made him freeze, and he slowly turned his head, his sky blue eyes narrowed and cold. "Come out, coward," he threatened in a low voice. He only gave the hiding creature a few seconds, before his eyes glowed a brilliant purple, and he pulled the cowering teddiursa from the bushes with his mind. "That wasn't so hard, now, was it?" He grinned cruelly. The snap of a twig behind him, and a low growl made him release the young pokemon from his hold, and the frightened teddiursa ran to the safety of his father's arms. Mother ursaring was not a happy bear at all, and she loomed over the stantler, roaring in his face. Paulie merely blinked, his nose twitching at the smell of her breath, and he narrowed his eyes, glaring, forcing the irate ursaring to take a step back.
"Not so scary now, are you?" He taunted, dancing back as she slashed at him with sharp claws. He merely sneered, hoping to draw her out, and he turned and began to prance away, laughing coldly under his breath. The snarl of rage brought an empty smile to his lips, and he leapt nimbly to the side, dancing on his hooves, deftly avoiding the powerful Hammer Arm that had landed where he was standing only moments before. The smile faded from his lips, and his eyes glinted with a nasty, steely edge. "This grows tiresome. I had hoped you'd prove to be more of an adversary. I'll be seeing you again, perhaps. Or what is left of you. But you won't be seeing me again, ever." And with these words, he sprang towards her, leaping off the ground and arcing high, twisting in mid-air, malice flickering across his features as he bared down upon the vulnerable ursaring. His face, his cold, heartless expression, and his hooves, they would be the last things she ever saw.
So this is my Anti-Paulie. He's a real nasty piece of work isn't he? *cries in the corner* Poor ursaring, getting killed for protecting her son. Yeah, I'd seen something reblogged recently, about getting to know what made your character, by first coming to understand what didn't make your character. And, this is what I've got for Anti-Paulie. Cold, uncaring, heartless even. Super graceful and balanced. Not scared and timid and unsure of himself. In fact, extremely confident in his abilities. (Paulie doesn't use Jump-Kick much, because he misses and gets hurt more often than not). Aggressive and violent. Not family oriented in the slightest. Seems to enjoy the suffering of others…. COLD-BLOODED KILLER!!! DX
Yup, sounds pretty much opposite of Paulie, who is timid at times, has four left hooves, doesn't always believe in himself, tries to avoid conflict as much as possible, shows a great concern for the wellbeing of others, loves his father and his friends, is caring, kind, compassionate. OH PAULIE. I'm so glad you are just the way you are, and nothing like this Anti-Paulie!
This was interesting, to say the least. Perhaps I'll consider doing it for some of my other characters. Any charrie in particular you'd like to see Anti-fied, guys? This should be fun, huh?

Automatically dial a connection
I have setup a broadband dial up connection in Windows but I need to dial it up manually each time I want to connect to the internet. Though I can set setup "always on" option in my router settings but that is NOT what I want.
What I want is Windows to automatically dial the said connection as soon as I login into my account. I Googled and found a way which asked to put a shortcut to the connection in the startup folder in startmenu but this simply doesn't work.
Any workaround? Thanks in advance.
|My System Specs
|13 Apr 2013
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Some suggest t use a scheduled task at logon instead of a shortcut:
Automatically dial the default Internet connection at Windows startup - Super User
Dial PPPoE connection on Windows startup - Super User
No idea if those actually work, or why the shortcut doesn't to begin with, but it may be worth trying.
Any particular reason you don't like your router to take care of it? I find it easier, and more conveniently when having more than 1 computer sharing the connection, if that ever happens in your case.

Hey thanks for your reply, I appreciate your effort. Me being silly, I forgot to mark this thread as solved, the startup folder method suddenly started working just fine after I did all the setup of the connection again and rebooting the machine.
Thanks anyway.

Chinese businessman shot dead and 3 others injured in Manila car 'ambush'
Identities of three others injured in ambush unknown, but one is reportedly a Hongkonger
Most Popular
A gun attack in Manila has left a Chinese businessman dead and three more Chinese injured - one of them reported to be from Hong Kong.
Officials were last night trying to confirm the identities of those involved in the attack, which comes less than two weeks after the two places stepped out of the shadow of the 2010 Manila bus hostage incident and a travel ban to the city was lifted.
The shootings took place overnight on Friday on the boundary of Manila and Pasay, two areas in Metro Manila, when an unidentified gunman opened fire on a car carrying "four Chinese" in what appears to have been an ambush. One of those in the car was killed and at least three other people injured.
A police source in Manila told the Sunday Morning Post the dead man was 27-year-old Chen Lijun from Shenzhen and that one of the injured was Zhao Zhijun, from Shanghai. The driver of the car was reportedly a Taiwanese businessman, Bruce Huang.
However, the source added: "We are investigating information received that alleges one of those injured was a nurse from Hong Kong."
A number of the men who were in the car are said to have connections to China Airlines and the international seafood business. The motive for the attack was unclear but police did not rule out the possibility of robbery. Initial checks revealed bullet holes in the rear of the car.
A spokesman for the Immigration Department in Hong Kong said: "The Immigration Department has contacted the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in Hong Kong and the Chinese embassy in the Philippines. It did not receive any requests for assistance from a Hongkonger."
Less than two weeks ago the Philippines expressed its "most sorrowful regret and profound sympathy" over the Manila bus hostage tragedy, which left eight Hongkongers dead.
A joint statement issued by the two governments announced the immediate lifting of sanctions against Philippine officials and a "black" outbound travel alert against the Philippines.
The current level of the travel alert is yellow - Hongkongers intending to visit the country are advised to monitor the situation, exercise caution and attend to personal safety.

This is what happened: Those four chinese are drunk. They crashed into another car. When the other car's driver confronted them, they left to escape liability. Victim chased them and shot the back of their car and the bullet hit the one who ducked (put his head down for cover) in the head. They probably thought it's okay to bump into someone and escape like what they probably do when in china.
The death is unfortunate since the one who died isn't the one driving (who pressed on the gas to escape but since they're drunk they really didn't get that far). I'd wager that the shooter is also of chinese descent. They've been wreaking havoc here for the longest time (although some are good natured, many are really bad).

The painting is unsigned, and had been previously been dismissed by the Van Gogh Museum in the 1990s. With the development of improved investigative techniques a two-year investigation was launched to determine the painting's authenticity, eventually determining it as a true Van Gogh in September 2013. It was discovered that the painting was described in a letter to Theo, stating he had painted it the previous day, 4 July 1888.
It is the first full-size painting by Van Gogh to be discovered since 1928.

On January 17, 2013, Bill Keith, an avid WBR supporter and SRAM employee, lost his life. After riding his bike home to his wife Pam, Bill suffered heart failure, passing away later that night. Bill and Pam's story of respect, gratitude, love and freedom has left a life-changing legacy in the lives of their friends, family....and 110 families in Zambia. The video above was taken on May 22, 2013 at Chabona Basic School in Chibombo, Zambia.
Read Pam's story of her journey to Africa below.
Honor Bill's legacy >
_ _ _
Remembering Bill Keith
(Mahalo BK)
by Pam Keith
Bill's 20+ years in the bike industry and his eagerness to coach and motivate people all sprung from his love for cycling. Not to mention, bikes are what brought us together in 1981--I was a swimmer and runner, and vowed to coach him as a swap for some cycling practice. Since then, we've never looked back. We always lived life to the fullest and never said, "let's wait to do that in retirement." June 27 would have been our 26th wedding anniversary.
After his death, Bill's colleagues asked how they could help honor his life. Bill had already influenced so many people and I was confident that his spirit would go on to create a lasting legacy. I knew how much World Bicycle Relief meant to Bill so we set up a memorial page. Donations started rolling in. Originally we set a goal to raise $5,000. We quickly surpassed that and changed our goal to $10,000, $15,000, $20,000... by March, we had raised almost $40,000.
"Bill had already influenced so many people and I was confident that his spirit would go on to create a lasting legacy."
As Spring approached, my sister, Kim and I made plans to join World Bicycle Relief on their next Africa Rides trip. We wanted to see the impact that these bicycles would create. Kim and I lost our mother to cancer, just one week before Bill died. This trip was our way to honor them both. With the blessings of friends and family (including Kim's kids, who organized fundraisers at their school for WBR), on May 14 we boarded a plane for Africa.Spirit of Community
Our African journey started at the World Bicycle Relief assembly facility in Lusaka, Zambia. I have been in the bicycle industry for 20 years and let me tell you, these guys have it down. Man, can they lace wheels! After meeting the assemblers, we each had a chance to build our own bike that we would be riding in the field. We also took time to sticker the bikes that would be distributed to students in Bill's name later that week. The stickers read, "Mahalo BK " honoring Bill's Hawaiian heritage. The word mahalo means "respect and gratitude."
One of our first activities in Zambia was with the women of Chikumboso community project. Chikumboso provides a positive environment for women who have lost their husbands and are considered outcasts. In their presence, I felt very connected, and for the first time truly recognized and named myself as a widow. Without their husbands, these women rely on one another as a source of strength. It was a very humbling experience.
"Without their husbands, these women rely on one another as a source of strength. It was a very humbling experience."
The next few days we spent exploring the impact that bicycles create in rural Africa and learning about life in Zambia. The emphasis on community continued to resonate with me. We were able to visit a milk collection center and witness how valuable bikes can be in transporting goods and creating economic opportunities. We met a health care worker named Danny who showed us the importance of his bike in caring for his patients. During this visit, we were asked if we had a "spirit of community" where we came from. A bit embarrassed we answered, "Nothing like this."
A Touching Tribute
When it came time to distribute Bill's bikes at the school, I felt like I was in a movie. Under blue skies and puffy clouds, through swaying grasslands, we spent hours driving down gravel and dirt roads to the remote village of Chibombo. We traveled the final 2.5 miles by bike over a bumpy, single track dirt road until soon our ears were filled with the sound of drumming and singing. When we arrived at the source of this jubilee, lined up before us were the 110 bikes with 'Mahalo BK' stickers. Over 600 villagers were gathered at the school to welcome us. This welcome ceremony was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. I was struck with emotions as I felt the presence of our family and friends who were there in spirit. The women of the community surrounded us and our two groups became one--singing and dancing together.
As the crowd calmed, the school principal introduced a group of students, who sang and performed a moving drama about how they would honor their bikes and contracts. They sang, "This is the greatest day we've ever had, we hope to have another day like this, but this is the greatest day!"
When it was my turn to share, I told the group about Bill and why these bicycles were a tribute to his life. I told them about his love for bikes and how much they were a part of our life together. I told them that people around the world had come together to provide these bikes and that this was the ultimate tribute that I could imagine for him. After I spoke, women gathered around me and shared in my sorrow. It was deeply touching as suddenly the bikes meant even more to them because of my story.
"I was struck with emotions as I felt the presence of our family and friends who were there in spirit."
When we handed over the bikes, I could see the pride and joy on each student's face. Even the children who didn't receive a bike that day were happy--they knew they'd now be able to get a ride to school.
After the distribution, we rode with a student named Rolita to her home as she pedaled her new wheels. Rolita's grandfather welcomed us in disbelief that his family now had access to this life-changing tool. We spent the next few hours learning Rolita's routine–her chores, fetching water and helping with family farming--all of which she does before leaving for school each day.
After our time with Rolita, we rode back to the school. I kept seeing the faces of the students on their new bikes. They were happy and smiling. I knew that look. As a child, I rode my bike everywhere--across town, through forests...it was freedom in the purest form. These girl students were experiencing that freedom for the first time. I could see it on their faces and hear it in their voices--freedom, gratitude, joy. The wind was in their hair, and they were free.
Love Lives On
Now, a few weeks since my trip to Africa, I find myself reflecting. It brings me joy knowing that so many people came together to provide something so meaningful to those students and their communities. Not just the bikes, but also hope—hope for the students, their families and communities. It's become important for me to share this story, not only for those who have made contributions in Bill's honor, but also for the people who dedicate their lives–and love–sharing the power of bicycles.
When we first arrived in Lusaka, I kept noticing the world mahala around town. Strangely similar to the Hawaiian word mahalo on Bill's bikes, I learned that mahala means "free and love" in Zambia. I know that Bill would want us to keep moving forward, keep smiling, and keep riding. It is my hope that those reading this will continue on the journey with Bill and me--this journey of freedom, love, respect, and gratitude. Mahalo.

Ackemann, T. and Radwell, N. and McIntyre, C. and Firth, W. J. and Oppo, G. -L. (2010) Self-pulsing dynamics in a cavity soliton laser. In: Conference on Semiconductor Lasers and Laser Dynamics IV, 2010-04-12 - 2010-04-16, Brussels.Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)
The dynamics of a broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with frequency-selective feedback supporting bistable spatial solitons is analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The transient dynamics of a switch-on of a soliton induced by an external optical pulse shows strong self-pulsing at the external-cavity round-trip time with at least ten modes excited. The numerical analysis indicates an even broader bandwidth and a transient sweep of the center frequency. It is argued that mode-locking of spatial solitons is an interesting and viable way to achieve three-dimensional, spatio-temporal self-localization and that the transients observed are preliminary indications of a transient cavity light bullet in the dynamics, though on a non negligible background.

This time the 49ers travel to the 'Big Easy' to test their metal against the Saints revamped line backing core, and newly appointed defensive coordinator Steve Spagnulo.
With our new scheme, I don't expect to see Spagnulo throw the kitchen sink at Alex Smith every down, giving our secondary more help in coverage.
This is what Gregg Williams should have done in the first game, and maybe Vernon Davis wouldn't have had the entire field to himself.
Not to take anything away from Vernon Davis, he's a great player, but how he got so open that late in the game is just unacceptable.
Alex Smith, yeah that guy, threw for 299 yards and 3 touchdowns, with Vernon Davis catching two of the touchdown passes and 180 yards receiving.

Green Solution: Natural Linoleum
Carter Oosterhouse explains the many ways natural linoleum is an earth-friendly building material.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Natural linoleum has been a popular choice as a floor covering for over 100 years. It's made from natural raw materials including linseed oil, rosins and wood flour. Because it's made up of natural materials, the linoleum offers a healthier indoor environment. It has no adverse health issues either during production, use or disposal. The bactericidal properties of natural linoleum stop microorganisms from multiplying, so you often see natural linoleum floors in many hospitals. In addition to the health benefits, the flooring is anti-static, reducing the potential for electric shock. It also makes the floor easier to clean since dust and dirt do not easily adhere to the surface. In this project, natural linoleum was used on the floor in a bathroom.

Sun's CEO On FOSS and the Cloud
Soulskill posted more than 5 years ago | from the don't-clouds-block-the-sun dept.74
ruphus13 writes "Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz continues to promote the use of Open Source, and says the downturn in the economy will only boost the momentum behind FOSS. From his post, 'Free and open source software is sweeping across the vast majority of the Fortune 500. When you see the world's most conservative companies starting to deploy open source, you know momentum is on your side. That's creating massive opportunity for those of us who have pioneered the market, to drive commercial opportunities... We announced just last week that we're building the Sun Cloud, atop open source platforms — from ZFS and Crossbow, to MySQL and Glassfish. By building on open source, we're able to avoid proprietary storage and networking products, alongside proprietary software.'" In related news, the Sun-IBM deal proposed last week has been called "anti-competitive" by a tech industry group, while others are speculating on how it could affect Linux and Java.

Hanover, New Hampshire
- m
- melissaosu Dec 27, 2007 05:50 AM
So we are debating a move to Hanover, NH. How is the food scene in and around Hanover? We are currently in a food wasteland in Tallahassee, Florida, so we are not leaving much behind. Any suggestions for places to go on a visit to the area?
I'm not an expert on the area, but my feeling/experience is that Hanover/West Lebanon have decent but not great restaurants--mostly chain style. There are a few exceptions--Yama for japanese for instance. Also, if you cross the border into Vermont, you have Simon Pearce in Quechee and in Woodstock, a few options. Good luck!
re: Reggiano
Yama is in West Lebanon and is a Korean place. It is very good,
plus has gerat sushi.
In Hanover there is The Canoe Club and Murpheys which are not
like chains at all. Also there is the Hanover Inn. There is two Indian
restaurants. There is a Thai restaurant. Of course being a college
town there are a couple of pizza places, Ramunto's being the best
in my opinion. Lebanon has some nice places too. Salt Hill Pub
is pretty good. There is the 7 Barrel Pub which makes it's own beer.
Gusanoz's is a fine Mexican place. Margarita's is a Mexican chain
place which has decent food and drinks.
Lui Lui's is a Pizza, pasta Italian type place.
Three Tomatoes is the same type of place. Both have wood fired pizza
ovens and several pasta dishes.
Of course along the Rte 12a strip you will find some of the chain
restaurants which were mentioned before.
I am sure other posters will fill you in on what I have missed. Good luck.
re: JOronte
Good ethnic food in the Upper Valley is slim pickin's. Yama is good for Korean and Japanese food. I would have to say of the two Indian places, I would avoid the Indian Queen and stick with Jewel of India. Food is decent but be aware the service is not very friendly. Gusanoz's is decent Mexican, Margarita's is overpriced with huge portions of chain Mexican food. Firebirds in Quechee is good some nights, decent some nights. The prime rib has never disappointed. Simon Pearce is very good but extremely pricey. Bentley's in Woodstock has good food and a nice atmosphere.
I have moved here after growing up in New Orleans and living in Birmingham, AL and Charlotte, NC. If you search, you can find fairly decent food, but you are close enough to Boston, Montreal, Burlington, and Portland that you can take a short trip to get a great meal. I often go to Boston for some great dim sum at Hei La Moon.
I think you'll be happy with the options in Hanover and the surrounding areas. There are a lot of nice inns and quality dining within a half-hour drive. To top it all off they have, quite possibly, the nicest co-op food store. "member or not, anyone can shop" is there logo, and if you like to cook a quality meal as much as you like to eat out there is NO better place to shop. When you visit you should stop there just to see your options. As for dinner out while you visit, i have had some Great meals at ZIn's wine bistro (which is in the Hanover Inn). The Canoe Club is very good as well. Just over the river (about 5 minutes from downtown) is The Norwich Inn, which i have heard to have good food. King Arthur Bakery Store is also in Norwich. They make the best flour known to man and their pastries, classes, and products are just great. No matter where you go to eat, If you move here, you'll find great places and terrible places (it's bound to happen) but overall i would say the upper valley area and central nh and vt has some of the best eating around!
re: Tupelohoney44
is Lou's still the best breakfast in Hangover? it's been a loooong time for me but I remember it was really good diner food
re: Jamie D
Lou's is still one of my favorite breakfasts in the area. It's obviously the same for many others, it's very hard to get in there on a Saturday.
I agree with several of the other posters: Yama and the Canoe Club are gems. Jewel of India is decent. Gusanoz is good enough that it doesn't frustrate my Arizona-trained Mexican tastes.
Otherwise, aside from high-end dining, the pickings are a bit slim.
CARPENTER AND MAIN!!!! It is in Norwich, VT which is just across from the Norwich Inn. Really great. You can either sit in the Tavern or in the fancier dining room. I recommend the tavern. You can order off of the entire menu and it is killer. Great local ingredients and good atmoshpere. Love it. The other posters really have given you a great sense of the scene. I just wanted to be sure that these guys got a look also. I guess I will stand up for Gusanoz's also. It is in a nasty strip mall that almost made me not wanna go the first time. It is really good. I love the mole!
re: deeper
i have been wondering where carpenter and main is... tons of good response about the place.. what sort of food are we dealing with? what's your fav? good drinks?
re: Tupelohoney44
We love Carpenter and Main, but here are a few other suggestion Mangowood cafe in the lincoln Inn loved the soy reduction, we just tried the Parker House under the new owners younger couple female chef, great! Tip Top cafe in White river junction pork and ginger meatloaf was a nice surprise, and down the street Elixirs
for great cocktails and some music
re: NGurber
Hi Everyone
agree with tip top-great for lunchl, Glad to see someone else who likes the Parker House as much as us. We really think it is one of the best places all around. The host (owner-British) couldn't be more likeable or funny and we always find something great on the menu. Esp. now they have the authentic bistro menu for the winter as well and live music on Sundays. Not nearly as pricey as we thought. We saw a great montreal trio there and had great beef bourginon and frites.
Carpenter and Main has changed some I've heard that the tavern is good but was underwhelmed by the main dining room menu.
While not a restaurant, the Hanover & Lebanon area offers a foodie's dream: an amazing food cooperative that goes far beyond just natural foods. The Hanover Cooperative has over 20,000 members, two large stores and a few smaller stores. They sell conventional, organic and lots of locally produced foods. They have a cafe and a great prepared foods department. Here is a link:
There's now a web site of restaurants in the area that might help, http://www.uvfood.com/
re: uveater
Be a little careful with uvfood, a lot of the restaurants in the listings are defunct (when I come across one, I've left comments to that effect so that others will know).
re: kaszeta
Yes, thanks for pointing out the closed places... I've flagged them as closed and fixed a few more. I'll be doing a sweep over uvfood's database to verify information once I get home from vacation.
Simon Pearce has the best food around. It is in Woodstock, VT. Not too far away in Hartland, VT, is the Skunk Hollow Tavern, a little publicized but excellent place. They have a wonderful bread basket( it's extra) but well worth it! Their owner makes delicious homemade ice creams!!! Entrees change often and are great! It is a tiny place ly and looks like a hole in the wall but will absolutely delight you!
re: Reggie Springer
Simon Pearce is actually in Quechee, on the way to Woodstock. The lunch there is great and reasonably priced, too.
I made the move from Tallahassee (actually, Apalachicola Florida, after a couple years in Tallahassee), to the upper Valley nearly 20 years ago. From a food standpoint, I have never looked back. There is simply no comparison. Fresh local produce and meats, a variety of cooking styles. I'm in central VT now, so not as aware of the Hanover restaurant scene, but have had some great meals in the vicinity.
re: Dave S.
We've had two great meals at the Parker House Inn over the holidays and I could not agree more, that under the new ownership, they are stellar. We love to sit at the bar and have dinner, watching a game or listening to great music on Sundays. The owners are wonderful and the food is among the best in the area. Beats Simon Pearce for dinner.
A great bakery has moved to Hanover from Bridgewater, VT - Umpleby's ( http://www.umplebys.com ), down on South St. They do all the usual pastries and muffins, but have a great selection of meat pies as well. The Chicken/Mushroom/Leek is especially tasty!
re: HeyCarl
Umpleby's is indeed good. I did a review at http://www.uvscene.com/wordpress/inde...
re: kaszeta
Umpleby's pork sausage roll with horseradish is one of the most delicious things you can eat in the Upper Valley. We discovered them at the Norwich Farmers Market and if you don't get there when they open, they are likely to be sold out. Fabulous pastries as well.
I think the food scene here depends a lot on your past experiences and your income level. Having lived in some excellent food cities- New Orleans, Savannah- I find the upper valley to be a desolate culinary waste land for the most part. Are there some good restaurants? There are a few but they are very expensive and even then, the food is not that great in my opinion. The Canoe Club seems to get good ratings here but each time I have eaten there I come away comparing them to nothing better than an upscale Applebee's. Obviously, you are not basing your move entirely on the dining scene but, if you are, I would say stay away from the Hanover area.
re: Jamesesq73
I agree completely with you assessment of the dining scene in the Upper Valley. That being said, if you live here, you find places to eat that you like. My favorites are Pane y Salute, The Lauren and Allechante in Woodstock. The South Woodstock General Store has great breakfasts and lunches, as does the Barnard General Store. In Quechee I like Parker House Inn and the Quechee Inn for dinner and Simon Pearce for lunch. Hanover has good pizza at Ramuntos and Umpleby's for lunch, Lou's for breakfast and no place for dinner. There is Stella's in Windsor for lunch and Juniper Inn for dinner.
re: greenstate
A good summary of my take as well (and basically the same places on the list). Restaurant-wise, I always find this area quite lacking, especially on the ethnic end of things, but there are a few gems (mostly, the ones you listed)
Ingredient-wise, however, I rather like living here, there is a lot of high-quality meat and produce that I can easily get from local providers.
re: greenstate
The Norwich Inn does a nice lunch and dinner, as well as brunch, and their pub is quite good. -- http://www.uvfood.com/info/norwichinn
I've been very happy with Elixir in WRJ. They do tapas-style food - not particularly Spanish, but nicely creative. -- http://www.uvfood.com/info/elixir
I know a lot of people (including me) have a problem with how slow Three Tomatoes is but they also do a nice lunch. -- http://www.uvfood.com/info/threetomat...
Tai Shan had excellent Chinese but they burned down last year... the runner up to them isn't nearly as good unfortunately.
I'd really like to see more (better) ethnic restaurants and also a few more places that were following the beat of their own drummer without being fine dining, like Elixir. I think (hope) that as the population grows, the situation will gradually improve.
re: romkey
We miss Tai Shan! Such a shame! I think the best way to find great food is to find chefs/places that hve a similar view of what great food/ atmosphere can be. Elixir was great but their original chef moved on, now not so good but nice because of the music. Find a place that's chef owned and for the most part you have a better experience- is my opinion. Tip Top is chef owned as well as Pane e Salute in Woodstock and and as far as were concerned The Parker House in Quechee is the most creative and consistent we've found.

"The Daddy Track" by Lisa Mundy (The Atlantic, January/February 2014)
For the past year, artist and businessman Cbabi Bayoc has attempted to create a portrait a day of a father interacting with his kid.
The resulting project, titled "365 Days With Dad," goes beyond showing fathers who go through the motions of parenthood, and shows engaging and teachable moments.
Originally from O'Fallon, Illinois Bayoc began this project as a means of stability, but over the course of a year it morphed into a means of preserving memories and encouraging parents to be their best selves when with their kids. [Continue to view all 365 days of Bayoc's ouevre and support his effort by ordering prints.]

When Your Adult Child Breaks Your Heart
"My son is now twenty-eight years old. On many occasions he has been very physically abusive to me…. Doctors have diagnosed my son with depression and borderline personality disorder; he also has a problem with drugs."
With this anecdote, psychiatrist Joel Young, the medical director of the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine and a specialist in working with the mentally ill and their families, begins a moving and vitally important book on mental illness and parenting. The book When Your Adult Child Breaks Your Heart is also written by Christine Adamec, who has written many books on similar topics.
Behind nearly every adult who is accused of a crime, becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who is severely mentally ill and acting out in public, there is usually at least one extremely stressed-out parent. This parent may initially react with the bad news of their adult child behaving badly with, "Oh no!" followed by, "How can I help to fix this?"
A very common reaction is the thought, "Where did I go wrong—was it something I said or did, or that I failed to do when my child was growing up that caused these issues? Is this really somehow all my fault?"
These parents then open their homes, their pocketbooks, their hearts, and their futures to "saving" their adult child—who may go on to leave them financially and emotionally broken. Sometimes these families also raise the children their adult children leave behind: 1.6 million grandparents in the U.S. are in this situation.
This well-organized and helpful book includes sections discussing the difficult situations that parents face if the adult child is living at home, and incisive guides to dealing with manipulative behaviors. Later chapters address the disorders that cause difficult behaviors, as well as the symptoms of those disorders, from child neglect and abuse to suicide.
The final section encourages parents to take care of themselves first: managing sleep and health; dealing with unhelpful comments from friends; and knowing when it's time to walk away. The book offers practical advice, stories, and resources—and, perhaps most importantly, comfort for any parent facing one of the biggest parenting challenges.

Have you ever stood in a line for WIC? PREGNANT WOMEN WILL WAIT AS LONG AS SIX HOURS with noisy toddlers to get their coupons for free proteins like cheese and dry beans. DRY BEANS. They can't otherwise afford this necessary food to meet their monthly protein requirement to have healthy babies.
Do people honestly have any idea what sort of a problem food is in this country and how many children don't have regular access to healthy meals? Do they know how many pregnant women don't get the proper nutrition?
Fuck you Republicans.
I'm not even tagging these posts "politics." This is basic humanity; it's not me being a liberal—it's me being a decent human and these congresstwits being INHUMAN.
When I tried to explain this to my friend in Canada she assumed I was making this up, because no one could be that cartoonishly evil.
Im on WIC as well as the woman I baby sit f or who has a 6 month old. I use their food to keep my milk supply up so its not as big of a deal but she needs it for formula and solids.Formula is $20 (sometimes more sometimes a smidge less) a can. Thats what most babies LIVE OFF OF. These families NEED this shit. Im giving her all the solid food I have that my son cant eat.
WIC is for pregnant women and children 5 and under. Its fucking milk, peanut butter, non-flavored cereal (cheerios), cheese, bread, eggs and dry beans. ITS SO IMPORTANT.
When I first got on wic I was scared, hungry and pregnant. We had lost our home, my husband lost his job and we were STARVING. There was literally nothing to eat and they helped us get to a food bank for the day, got us in to a class where they were giving out grocery gift cards and set us up with some checks. i wouldnt have eaten if it werent for WIC.
They are fucking monsters.
WIC is one of the few things that saved my family from the streets/starvation and Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck ANYONE trying to excuse this shit
My 18 month old nephew was born with zero kidney function.
They put stints into his tiny body to help improve that.
He still only has one working kidney and that's only 70%.
Because of this he nurses or is drinking something almost constantly, and he still needs a special formula to get proper nutrition.
This formula costs $120 a JAR. He needs a jar a WEEK.
WIC will only give my sister checks for this formula, they don't get any of the normal WIC checks, just this formula my baby nephew NEEDS TO LIVE.
Now he won't even get THAT.
As a wic baby now grown, I signal boost this rage.
Another WIC baby chiming in. That program kept me and my three siblings fed while my dad was striking for better wages in the '80s.
Also a WIC baby who raised a WIC baby, also a formerly single mum raised by a single mum on a reservation.
I also knew so many people back home on the rez who depended on WIC (and commods if anyone is familiar with that) to get by, especially when fishing was slow and/or low or closed for spawning.
This shutdown has awakened new rage in me.
I worked in a grocery store in off-peak hours so I didn't see WIC that often, but I thought the program was great. I was ringing up $30 of powered formula and 7 gallons of milk at a time (I still don't understand why people would buy all of their milk at the beginning of their checks and not space it out, but their prerogative) and produce. It was always milk, beans, fresh produce, frozen orange juice, eggs, cheese, wheat bread or tortillas and sometimes baby food.
I hated ringing up the checks because it's a specific transaction, but I think the program is wonderful. I remember one guy was using the checks for the first time and did it wrong, I and his sister helped him understand how they worked and what was allowed.
We live in a culture where it's increasingly expensive to raise a child and we're not educating on preventative measures, and making it impossible to get the help that people need because they can't afford their child in the first place. This is not the America I was told I'd be living in as an adult.

I'm on the train to London, and a family with six small kids all around the same age range got on at a stop and surrounded me. The parents are having a hard time keeping them under control, as you can imagine; there's always one crying, one whining, two fighting and all of them needing the toilet
I feel like, if couples want to have big families, they should imagine each new prospective child as a fully-functioning body part of an enormous rabid hybrid of, let's say, a bull and a tiger
every time one is born it adds to the body, making this bull-tiger bigger, more chaotic and thus equally more threatening
And then from that, this hypothetical twinkly-eyed couple can imagine just how many body parts they can handle between them as they travel through the china-gazelle shop that is the world
And if they don't think they can handle the tiger-bull if it has a lot of limbs
Then they shouldn't have a lot of kids

BILOXI, Miss. - Leann Real promised her husband, an avid sports fan, that if they ever had a son he'd get to pick the name. ESPN Montana Real was born this week at Biloxi Regional Medical Center.
and for five seconds i thought this was a joke
the south.
the south.
excuse me let me represent

okay okay.
parts of the south.
the dumb south.
the south is a cool place to come hang out with your friends

I'm not going to rag on the South, technically I'm in the South (Virginia is such a confused state all the time) I'm just going to say I want this kid to grow up hating sports. I want him to be the opposite of what his father wants, just because he was named ESPN.

Awww… Peter DeLuise plays the best characters. I love this scene. I know SQ's "soft science fiction", but anyone who hates the genre should watch this!

Active Questions
|Friends & Family / 12:23 AM - Wednesday December 26, 2012
I'm starting to really doubt/question my religion (Christianity)
I believe there is a God.
- Asked by teashop, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21
As a Christian I find it hard to believe/agree that only Christians go to Heaven. What would that mean to the children across this Earth who have never heard the name "Jesus"? God loves and cares for all his children. I believe God loves all who is kind to their neighbors and lives a self-less life, no matter what religion/denomination. God is working through people in different ways at different times ALL THE TIME! The ones who are filled with hatred and carry cold hearts are the ones who God decides where they go in their after life. I could rant about this for the rests of the night but unfortunatley I'm tired and it's past midnight. I hope this helped and I pray God will open a new understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Have a Happy New Year(:
- Response by A Do-Good Girl, Girl, 18-21
I don't think saying good is quite a good word to use in the first place. Who is good on this earth? Well the answer is nobody, we are all sinners, all of us, nobody on this world has not sinned against somebody, except children who have died before adulthood, but God knows they will not go to hell because the world has not been told to them. So going from that angle I guess when you say good you mean people who give when they can, and don't kill or ra.pe people, and other relatable crimes. But honestly are you sure you can call yourself and those around you good? Imaging all the lies and bad thoughts that you have thought, just like me, maybe more or less I don't know. And the truth is even if you do all the good deeds in the world your not going to see heaven, because there is no amount of good work you can do to see heaven, that's not what God wants from us, he of course wants us to do good to others and love one another, but honestly what he wants is a relationship with him. Think about it, in, Christianity I believe this is one of the only beliefs where God has a personal relationship with us. All other religions affirm the idea that one has to do thing to get the their heaven, but Jesus dwells in us and is in communion with us which is remarkable if you as me.

I feel the same way! I just don't understand this religion completely.
- Response by mnsoccergal, A Sports Star, Girl, 17, Student
I understand how you feel completely. Both of my parents and their families are strong believers in the christian faith. I'm Christian but I do have my doubt and suspicions on Christianity. In my opinion all good people who try to live their lives right go to heaven. Like the bible for instance doesn't have just one big meaning it's on how you interpret it. We both may read the same passage of the bible and we will come out with completely different meanings. I think all good people go to heaven because there are many Christians that go to church every Sunday and sin during the week days but when Sunday rolls around act as if they are total saints. Just because you go to church doesn't mean you're guaranteed into heave, I personally believe acceptance into heaven is an overall.
- Response by elvalugo2016, A Flirt, Girl, 16, Who Cares?
well i believe that myself. it says in the bible (dont know exactly what verse...) that jesus christ is the way the truth and the life and none shall come to the father except through him.
- Response by alissalove111, An Arty Girl, Girl, 16, Self-Employed
omg it could be me writing this question! but its not me cuz i know the answer, "good" people wont go to heaven cuz they r good to plz the earth not God and the "good" people who dont believe a heaven exists will not go to heaven. Also if a person is told about all the stuff Jesus has done 4 us and how much he loves us and they refuse to believe it,the can donate to charities and help the needy all they want but they are not going to heaven. xoxoxo p.s : 4 what its worth im a Cnristian too.
- Response by rubiesugar84, An Arty Girl, Girl, 14
The way I see it, the world is made better with all of the diversities and different cultures in it.
- Response by silverbluemoon, An Arty Girl, Girl, 17
I feel like you and the other girls who are having this doubt, are living in a religion, a life full of laws, etc. Religion kills, Jesus came to bring a relationship, FREEDOM. When you're really are in a relationship, and you know the person and you love the one.. you won't do the things because you have to, you'll do because you love the person and you wanna please her.
- Response by mandiepr12, A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 16, Sao Paulo
I know exactly what you mean. I don't agree with it either, and while I'm catholic, I believe that everyone's religion is a different aspect of the same truth. If a person is truly a good person, I don't think they're gonna wind up in hell.
- Response by everrose, A Do-Good Girl, Girl, 16, Artist / Musician / Writer
its bcuz no one is truly good without God. He gave his life 4 us. what more could we ask 4. is it so bad 2 give him r lives when He created us AND gave His life 4 us?
- Response by ondiro, A Beauty Expert, Girl, 17, Celebrity
I am a Christian(Jehovah's Witness)and I'm here to answer your questions. :)
- Response by Greengirl96, An Eco Chick, Girl, 18-21, Student
Because Jesus died for us, and we can only go to heaven if we accept him into our heart and live our lives for him. God is a God of love, but also of justice. Everyone sins, which seperates us from God, Jesus lived a sinless life and died to cleanse us of those sins. I'm praying this helps you, just remember that if you seek him you'll find him, and forgiveness
- Response by Sarah9677, An Arty Girl, Girl, 18-21, Artist / Musician / Writer
I really just don't believe in any religion. Religion is supposed to help people and give them hope but it did not happen to me. I stopped believing in god(christian) and all other gods when I was around 11. Arounf that age I became miserable and depressed. 2 years later I developed an eating disorder and was on the brink of my heart giving out. If the eating disorder did not kill me I was self harming and thinking of suicide all the time. I knew it in my heart that there was no god because if there was a god; why would he take all the joy and happiness from my life. That has made me lose hope in everything religous.
- Response by izzycat, An Arty Girl, Girl, 16
My religion has been bothering me for a VERY long time, and I'm pretty sure that I'm agnostic. (I believe there is a god, but nobody's really nailed the figure) I have a problem with heaven and hell, and what really differentiates a good person from a bad person. It's been bothering me for a while as I've wondered if there really is a heaven and hell anyway. As I find myself gravitating towards science, I wonder if a human being really does have a soul, or are we just a sack of chemical reactions. I was raised in a Hispanic catholic home, and my family is very very religious. I've just wondered if humans go to heaven, then why don't chimps? Chimps are basically humans without some stuff. For a long time now, I haven't been able to trust anything blindly. I believe that Christ is a good, positive figure. Heck, I'm NAMED after him! (Christina) And it's not the scientific things in the Bible that I have a problem with: miracles can happen. It's just certian things that really bother me. I've been trying to define good and evil for a while, and the idea of holy war bothers me. It's not good just because it's in "the name of God". So is good only what society thinks is good? Is it society that we have to live up to? The teachings of Jesus try to teach you to love your neighbor, but the whole thing is so complicated to me. I'm still not sure what I am, to be honest. I still love Christ, but little things really bug me.
- Response by A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 16, Student
Good question. The thing is Christianity does not answer that question. You can either deal with the fact your religon, your god, will sentence good people to an eternity in hell, or you can change your faith... its up to you. I choose not to worship a god that would make such choices
- Response by A Trendsetter, Girl, 16
Maybe a person may be " good ". But really the reason why is because you have to belive in God. & Follow him.
- Response by aubreygirl12, A Flirt, Girl, 16, Student
If aa person has expected Jesus Christ as their one and only saviour and you follow him and live a Christ like life and everything you do is to gloryify him then you will probley go to Heaven but the only person that knows if you are going to Heaven is God and God only. As Christians we are not supposed to judge others because the only person that is supposed to judge you is God. When you die some people have accecpted God right then and there as there dieing so its only God who can judge us because we don't always know whats going on in their lives.
- Response by shoppinggirl3, A Trendsetter, Girl, 15
We all sin, and to get into a sinless place, we first have to be cleansed of those sins. The son of God died so that could be possible. He was the final sacrifice.
- Response by emmaaa18, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 18-21
ya i agree i go to an Episcopal church and i like it because a lot of things that (according to the bible) are horrible we accept there but ive gotten really fed up with what you were saying about the whole hevan and hell thing because idk i think of it as we all say there is a god just he might be split into other things or theres more then one savior or something but its all the same idea, right(thats just my opinion)
- Response by sunnykendra, An Arty Girl, Girl, 15
Lisent Going to heaven is not about what's ur religion! you believe in god and thats good but it's also not about beign christian or what ever it's about beign good inside. i'm actually muslim and What i know is that most of muslims dont take their religion as they should. and isee alot of christians change for christian to Muslims and they're bettre from those who are muslims since birth :D and i think that you should Read the Qoran and also look every where so you could know every thing about all religions after all God loves people who believe in him and love him as well. so the good believres (and i mean those who does the right thing) will go to heaven
- Response by A Pop Culture Queen, Girl, 18-21, Student
I am a Christian, but I believe all children go to heaven because they really don't know what death is or understand sin.. Also if the baby dies in the womb or right at birth, he/she would never hear the Gospel or about Jesus, & thats not the baby's fault, so I believe all children go to heaven :)
- Response by stephaniesammy, A Rock Star, Girl, 16
To be honest my friend I am a Christian or sort of and I believe that if your a good person in general, believe in God and have faith good chances are that you will go to heaven. I am also very culturally influence and I don't believe that only Christians can go to heaven anyone can go if they fall under these requirements. You don't have to be christian.
- Response by itsonlyfranchis, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 17, New York
I am A strong Christian, and I believe in God. And all that comes with believing in the Lord. I believe what I believe because of the Bible! And To answer your question as a Christian as to "Why Don't Good People Go To Heaven?" And because you can be the best you can be and still go to Hell, because if you're not a Christian, You don't believe that Jesus died for your sins. And that's the best way to answer that. Don't doubt your Religion! If you think you still wanna be Christian, Read the Bible. It's the only thing that you can go by. The internet isn't always the most reliable source. and If your not. Look into what you do believe, and find more out about what you do believe.
- Response by tessabean16, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 16, Student
My family is mostly Catholic but my parents raise me and my siblings in a Christian church. I went to a christian school for quite a while and went to many camps. I totally believe that only Christians go to heaven. You must be saved and repent for all the sins you have committed. The fact that is "good people" dont necisarily go to heaven. I understand that this is a hard concept to grasp but there are many verses in the Bible to back it up if you are seriously confused and want more information or for me to more clearly explain it to you feel free to message me!! :)
- Response by maddi097, A Sports Star, Girl, 16, Student
I am a Catholic myself, and I believe that good people will go to heaven. God loves everyone and is always willing to forgive. I believe God is good, and would not punish others for not being Christian. I'm also sure that I heard somewhere that there is actually no mention of hell in the bible, and it is just something that humans have interpreted/invented.
- Response by lillyhatesred, A Social Butterfly, Girl, 17, Melbourne, Student
I'll tell you what i know and u can listen if u want. I am a christian and i love God with all my heart. I know that Christian people that know about christianity and know how they should behave and the bible and stuff, if they do what they have to do and pray and go to church and eevrything that God says is good they will prob go to Heaven. Whoevere's not a christian if hes being nice in general they will go to heaven too. They have other things to be judged for than Christians. Msg me plz if u wanna talk!

I am a Christian, and I believe that once your saved your always saved. Like if you truely ask God into your heart, & believe Jesus died on the cross & rose again.. & then years from that, you kill someone. I believe you still go to heaven, but please don't kill anyone! God forgives all your sins.

Rated 2 out of 5�by numbat90 Okay These shorts ride up a LOT. Every few steps I have to adjust them unless I wear compression tights under them. However they do fit me very well for someone with a booty and thighs. They look great as well. Would recommend as long as you're willing to wear tights underneath. October 11, 2014

Natural Disasters Aren't The Only Threats To Universal Insurance Holdings
PRO • Nathan Buehler • Sat, Jun. 21 • 17 Comments
- Universal has a history of poor customer service.
- Universal is being blown away by competitors, in terms of revenue growth, despite expansion into new states.
- Share dilution has been a historical problem. Share repurchases are a welcomed relief.
- Hurricane season brings volatility to Florida property insurance stocks.
- Political changes could negatively impact Universal in the near future.
