Good place. Clean, full-equipped and good located. 1 minute to tram and 3 to metro. Right in the center in 10 to 15 minutes. Very good.
Das Apartment ist wunderschön eingerichtet und großzügig geschnitten. Wir hatten Zugang zu einem breiten Spektrum an Unterhaltungsmedien- Filme, Serien, Musik etc, in allen möglichen Sprachen. Andy war immer erreichbar und äußerst freundlich, seine Tipps für Unternehmungen in Prag waren Gold wert.
Sollten wir nochmal nach Prag gehen, werden wir auf jeden Fall dieses Apartment wieder buchen!
Super Wohnung, toll ausgestattet, mit allem was man braucht, optimale Lage - ruhig und gut zu entspannen.
Auch der Hund kommt nicht zu kurz, weil in dem nahgelegenden Park kann man lange spazieren gehen.
Zentrum der Prag gut , mit Metro, erreichbar - in wenigen Minuten.
Nur wer englisch oder tschechisch nicht kann kann Probleme haben weil der Vermieter kein deutsch spricht.
Alles optimal!
Wir hatten wirklich einen tollen Aufenthalt! Das Apartment bietet alles was man sich wünschen kann - eine voll ausgestattete Küche und einen schönen Balkon. Andy hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und hat uns einen Statdplan inkl. Tips gegeben. Mit der Metro ist man in ca. 15 min in der Innenstadt, das ganze für umgerechnet ca. 90 Cent pro Fahrt.
Ich kann das Apartment nur weiterempfehlen und würde es bei meinem nächsten Pragbesuch wieder buchen.
Thanks a lot Andy for your hospitality!
l'appartamento mi è piaciuto molto..in casa c'era tutto quello che serve era carina e molto luminosa ..vicino ci sono vari ristoranti un centro commerciale ed è ben servita dai mezzi e metro
The apparment is very good for a visit to Praque.
Its clean and has all you need for your stay. The metro to Praque is 5 minutes walking and in the surrounding of the appartment you have shops and restaurants.
We had a very good stay. Also the compliments for Andrew he gives us good information and the feeling that we were welcome.
Sehr gutes Apartment.
Es ist alles vorhanden was man brauch.
Wirklich alles.
Andrew war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele Infos über die Stadt gegeben.
Wer schnell in die Stadt will sollte sich vorher über die App uber informieren. Da kostet eine Fahrt ins Zentrum umgerechnet 6 Euro für 4 Personen gesammt.
Wir werden wiederkommen.
Und ich kann dieses Apartment jedem wärmstens empfehlen.
An amazing apartment! Everything you could possibly need is there and it is comfortable and stylishly decorated. The location was perfect for us! Easy to travel to the centre and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Andy was fantastic at communicating quickly prior to and during our stay. He gave us lots of very useful information and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great holiday. I can highly recommend everything about this apartment and we will definitely be returning.
Andrew was a great host. The flat was consistent with the photos and description, clean, very well equiped and well located - just a perfect place to stay in Prague.
Thank you very much for your hospitality Andrew!
The apartment is amazing. It really answer at all my needs and expectations.
Location: 3 minutes walking from Ceskomoravska metro station, 1 Minute walking from Divadlo Gong tram stop. The building is in a quiet, clean, and full of green quartier. In two minutes of walk i can reach a mall in which i can find everything like an hypermarket and lots of shops for everything. There are also small markets and restaurants on the road from tram and metro station to the apartment.
Apartment: The apartment is big, more than cozy and with a nice warm...the kitchenette is fully equipped with everything who love to cook like me needs. The lounge area is simply amazing with space tho relax yourself with a big sofa and an armchair. Bathroom is really comfortable with a nice shower, and the bedroom is big with two double bed. The light in the whole apartment is amazing thanks to two big balcony windows. There is a terrace with some nice plants and a table with chairs to enjoy more warm weather. In 4 days i never heard noises from neighbors.
Andrew: I think Andrew is really a special person, really kind and patient (he waited 2 hours for me for a plane delay :D). He really worry about the fact that the guest has everything clear about the apartment, the displacements in the city and the area of the apartment, he is totally available for any clarification about Prague. He gives me a nice map of Prague and he shows me all the best things to see giving me advice for everything.
So i think the final evaluation is more than ten....if i will come back in Prague i will have no doubt, i will always choose Andrew's wonderful flat.
Thank you for everything

unclebud - Friday, September 01, 2006 - linkhaving to push the optical drives closed instead of being able to press the eject button to do it? terrible design
hopefully it won't require a couple hundred customers rmaing their drives to change it someday Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, September 02, 2006 - linkI've never had a problem pushing the tray to close a CD-ROM. The trick is that you push it gently rather than trying to slam it shut. I could see children having a bit of an issue doing this, but I would wager heavily that most children pushed the tray in regardless of whether or not you can access the eject button. Reply
Iceboie - Thursday, August 31, 2006 - linkWill we see an article in the future for us who wants a Conroe system but on a low budget scale? Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, September 02, 2006 - linkJust drop from the E6600 (tested) to an E6300, dropped the graphics card down to a lower-cost version, maybe get a smaller hard drive, and you can quickly get the cost down to under $1000 (not including monitor). The system as a whole is fine, so basically just get whatever CPU and other settings you can afford. Reply
giantpandaman2 - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkNice Review. Only things that'd be nice to add is how long it takes to get a system shipped to you and how difficult is it to RMA something. Can you take it to the store? Do they give you a run around? Is it painless? I figure you guys could use a girlfriend/buddy to bring in the computer so you can remain anonymous. :) Sounds like getting things fixed should be pretty easy since they have stores, but it'd be nice to know for sure. Reply
giantpandaman2 - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkoops, I know you can take it to the store. Reply
Capt Jook - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkHi all,
James here, manager of the Tigard, Oregon PC Club. Just wanted to say thanks for a great review and maybe answer a few questions.
RMA through the web can be a bit of a pain...at the moment we do not offer a cross-shipping option for defective parts, so it can take a week or two to get back a good part after you send in the faulty one. In store, if we(PC Club) build the system and it is in warranty, we swap a new part right off of the shelf, 1 year warranty or 3. On 3 year warranty systems, we also cover End of Life(EOL), so if a CPU is 2 years old and EOL...we give you the logical replacement or an upgrade. We usually hire enthusiasts at our stores, so many people feel welcome when they want to discuss multipliers or voltages, etc.
We do use all standard, off the shelf components...nothing proprietary. Our "restore" CD is actually just an XP CD. We are sure to give the customer physical copies of all of the software installed on the system, in case of a catastrophic drive failure. We have a http://pcclub.com/forum/index.cfm">Customer support Forum that has help available 24/7. Mostly other PCC customers, but I know of at least 10 store level employees that frequent the forum on a daily basis(myself included).
The Allied 350W PSU has seen at least 10,000 hours of(combined) testing in the configuration listed. All of our system configurations must pass at least 5,000 hours of testing by our Engineering Department before they are released for sale to the stores and the web.
Each store is required to have a tech on duty 7 days a week, 362 days a year(we are closed xmas, Thanksgiving and 4th of July), so service is available if you are local to a store.
Thanks for your time! Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - linkThanks for the additional information, James. (I'm up north of you in Olympia Washington, so the closest store to me is in Tacoma.) I actually do know a couple enthusiasts that work at PC Club stores, so I agree that the local support should be good. I wish I had some place like PC Club close by my house, as other than ordering online my only options are an overpriced brick-and-mortar store down the street, or I can try my luck at Best Buy. Needless to say, nearly all of my purchases come from web sites. Reply
giantpandaman2 - Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - linkThankfully I'm in Bellevue. I can go anywhere. :P Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkI own a Vewsonic VA1912wb 19" widscreen monitor, and its a great monitor, however, its also rated @ 8ms, not 5ms listed in your review (I know what Viewsonics webpage says, but according to my box, manual, and newegg, this is incorrect) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82...">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82.... Perhaps Viewsonic has since reworked this part, but In my opinion, that would call for a new part # ?
As for the Pre-built system, interresting choice of motherboards, they frown on OC'n, yet they offer the best OCable motherboard for the C2D ? You would think, they would have picked something a bit more stable like the ABIT AB9 Pro or something . . . Reply
nah - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkGood work, as always. How about an update on the CPU?GPU guides ? Reply
modo - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkJust went over to ibuypower.com and configured a Core 2 duo E6600 with the MSI 965 mobo, 500W PSU, 1 gig ram, 250 gig HD, 7900Gt 256mb, dvd burner, with a mini-liquid cooler for the cpu for $1245 (without monitor). Enter 'ibuypower' code when you order and you get 5% off, taking the total down to less than $1200.
Better system for $200 less? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkAdd in the OS and monitor, and the total comes to $1522 with the discount. ($1361 without $229 LCD = $1293 with discount.) You need a 16MB cache HDD and a DVDRW with LightScribe if you want to make things "equal" on components. You can also add some extras that may or may not be available elsewhere. Anyway, it's still slightly cheaper; is it worth considering? Sure - it comes with a 3 year warranty. How's the support? I don't know. As stated in the conclusion, PC Club has some reasonable offers people might want to look at - especially if you live near a local store and would like that sort of support. There are a ton of competing system vendors out there. Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkMSI . . . I can not speak for everyone else, but I've had less than good results using MSI products. They may work fine for a period of time, but can not really be comparred to someone like ABIT, or Gigabyte. Who makes the PSU ? Why do you need a 'mini-liquid cooler' ?
I've personally configured (but not bought) a simular C2D budget system, but using a E6400, and a 7600GT, and overall cost was around $800usd. Of course, I had planned on migrating a PSU (Antec), and HDDs from an older system. This is why I almost always suggest quality parts, as quality parts often last for years, and can be reused (in the case of a PSU, and HDDs here). You can go even cheaper if you use something along the lines of the Asrock 775Dual-VSTA motherboard, and migrate memory, and video from current system. *shrug* My personal experience with Asrock however, is that usually they are very solid boards (for the price), but are often less than top tier stable, and more often then not, are fairly quirky, and missing Features such as offering a SATAII controller, but disabling (or not including) command queuing(which is part of the SATAII spec, unless I'm mistaken). Reply
QueBert - Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - linkfunny, while I don't really care for MSI, never had a problem with them. Now Gigabyte UGH, on my 3rd board right now for this 939. And my last Gigabyte board (Athlon XP) gave me problems from day one. It's crazy how one person can never have a problem with a brand, and the guy next to him has nothing but problems. I think MSI has gotten a lot better then they were in the past. I live 2 blocks from a PC Club, and i can tell you this, whatever prebuilt systems they sell, they've done A LOT of component testing. As I've never heard somebody complain about an Enpower system, besides those who screw things up themselves with viruses and such. I only shop at PC Club, unless it's something they don't carry. They cost a bit more then Newegg, but the service is great. I walk in, they know me by name. They sold me a MB + Memory, I was dumb and didn't check, the MB was DDR2 and the memory was DDR1, I wanted DDR1, so they took the open MB back, no hassle.
bob4432 - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkNice article and seems like a decent system for the $$$$. One question - where can we get the bf2 1.3 benchmark you are using?
bob :) Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkSure, http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/benchmarks/bf2...">have at it. Standard "this is beta" disclaimers apply. If you don't know how to tweak a batch file, you're on your own. :)
--Jarred Walton Reply
bob4432 - Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - linkthanks, i had the 1.22 but lost it, then 1.3 came out. Reply
regnez - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkwhy is that in the feature list the graphics card is a 7900gt and in the benchmark setup it is a 7900gtx? is this a typo or was the graphics card switched out for the benchmark setup?
also, it does not seem as if a 350 watt psu is enough to power that graphics card...
and one more thing: this system is called a mid-range system in the review, and I quite disagree. a mid range system would be something in the price range of $700-$900. this is a high end system, and it would not take much ($400 ish more) to bring it up to enthusiast level. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkIt was a typo; the system (as configured and tested) uses the 7900 GT. In terms of power, look at the power tests on page 9. Even with a 25% overclock and maximum load, the system draws 213W of power. That's not even accounting for PSU efficiency; remember that the PSU rating is what can be output, not the total wall power draw. Say it's 75% efficient; that means the system is using about 160W of power at maximum load. I've got a few generic 350W PSUs running similar configurations, and none of them have ever had issues.
Finally, there is always debate about where market segments overlap price ranges. We consider budget to be $750 or less (maybe a bit more for budget gaming). Midrange is a huge segment that goes from around $1000 to $1500. At ~$1600, this is close enough, though it's definitely at the top of the midrange ladder. High-end starts at $2000 and can go way up from there. It's just a term anyway, and if you think $1500 is too high you're welcome to that opinion. The base configuration of the EN-SE5 comes with an E6300, 7300GS TurboCache, 160GB HDD, and costs $800 (including the OS). It's not longer really gaming worthy, but it will do everything else very well. Reply
koomo - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkHi Jared,
Any expectations for when the next mid-range buyer's guide will be posted? (Last one was May 9th, just prior to AM2 and Core 2 Duo).
It sure would be nice to see one juat after you all have tested the soon-to-be released ATI lineup. I'll be very interested to see how power requirements compare between the mid-range NVIDIA and ATI cards, as well as comparative noise levels (will the new ATI blowers help that much?) Thanks!
Very nice review, BTW. Reply
Turin39789 - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkGet in in under $1000 and We'll talk Reply
KorruptioN - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkIt appears that the three right side holes are not utilized in screwing the motherboard down to the tray? They instead run the optical drive IDE cable underneath.
Also, the choice of using an ALLIED PSU is a bad one -- consider it bottom-end generic. Reply
QueBert - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkI consider your statement to be generic. Allied does make a lot of entry level, very basic PSU's. But, they make some http://www.pcclub.com/product_details.cfm?itemno=A...">great ones.. Infact. the one I just linked to, replaced a Enermax that died in my system. Was very quiet, had plenty of power, and overall is a PSU I'd recommend to anyone looking. Allied makes a ton of different PSU's, some of they might very well be crap, I won't dispute. But the one I own, ran a system with 4 HD's, 2 Opticals, an X800, 2 120MM and 80MM fan and more then enough power left over. Powmax makes "bottom end PSU's" there's a HUGE difference between "bottom end" and "generic"
A good # of the barebone cases PC-Club sell come with Allied, I build pc's for people for a living, and I've had very few problems, with even their lower end psu's *shrug*
Allied gets a bad rap, which I'm sure is for reasons that date back 5+ years? Based off that line of thinking, Maxtor makes the worst HD's ever... Reply
yacoub - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkGood review, Jarred. Nice to see how a pre-built system can perform in a review that covers all the basics and even overclocking. Reply
Harkonnen - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkOn the internals and construction page, third paragraph. PSU is typed as SPU.
"If you want to do more than that, you may find that you need to replace the default SPU with a beefier unit."
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkI dunno - I kinda like the way SPU rolls off the tongue. :D Reply
chunkychun - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkIs it really a great time to upgrade? It seems that directx 10 would require you to upgrade your graphics card realitively soon. Should people just wait? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 29, 2006 - linkDX10 may be important for games, but there's always something coming in the near future. I'm not aware of any games that are going to require DX10/WGF2 any time soon. I mean, we're only now getting a reasonable number of games that require SM3.0 (just in time for DX10, right?) At the ultra-high-end, it's probably worth waiting, but for mid-range a 7900 GT or X1900 XT level card is going to last quite a while at moderate detail settings.
We need Vista before we'll get DX10, and I'm not holding my breath for an early 2007 Vista launch. I'm betting on closer to March. That's over six months away, so really I think now *is* a good time to upgrade... provided you haven't already done so in the past year or two. If you have a 6800/X800 GPU or better, you can probably wait. If you have an Athlon XP/Pentium 4 (prior to Prescott) or earlier CPU, upgrading to Core 2 wouldn't be a bad move. Maybe wait another month for prices to stabilize, but that's about it. Reply

text: Britney Spears loves getting out of the house. Whether she gets her photograph taken or not, I think she loves being able to escape the confines of the walls that surround her and I think she dreams of being able to be on her own again. On a day like yesterday when Justin Timberlake had called her a b**ch over the weekend and never came up with a good apology or excuse or alternative for who he was referring to, it would have been nice to hear what Britney had to say. It would be nice to hear why she chooses to dress like she does and what her favorite drink is at Starbucks and how many drinks she has in her rotation. The thing is though we will never get to hear her speak. Oh sure, there will be interviews with her in magazines. Monthly magazines. Controlled interviews with questions in advance so she is not surprised. Considering that I don't think she ever got over Justin, I wonder what she would have said about the situation if TMZ had put a camera in her face yesterday. Of course they may have been more focused on asking why she wore a pair of boxers out in public.

- News From the Field
- Report: Six suspects held over another India bus gang rape
Report: Six suspects held over another India bus gang rape
By Alastair Jamieson
Six suspects have been arrested over the rape of a woman on a bus in northern India, just weeks after the gang-rape and murder of a student sparked nationwide protests, reports said early Sunday.
Police say a 29-year-old woman was a lone passenger on a bus to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday when she was attacked, The Associated Press reported.
The driver and conductor allegedly refused to stop at her village and instead drove her to a desolate location. They took her to a nearby building where they were joined by friends and raped her repeatedly, the AP said.
The woman went to a police station in the morning to file a complaint. Six of the seven suspects have been arrested, Reuters reported.
The apparent case follows the gang rape and fatal beating of a medical student on a New Delhi bus in December, which sparked protests in India over national attitudes to violence against women and made headlines around the world.
Despite the heightened awareness of the way sex crimes are dealt with, the Times of India reported that the latest victim was publicly named by police in Punjab – a move the newspaper described as "completely insensitive."
"Six men have been arrested on allegations of having raped a 29-year-old woman... after forcibly taking her to an unknown location on the night of January 11," local police officer Raj Jeet Singh said, according to Agence France-Press.
Police say they arrested six suspects on Saturday and are searching for one other, AFP said.

Ok, folks,
this is my first post on ANY forum - but being a huge BBQ nut up here in Chicagoland, I know someone out there might give me a few tips. Been grilling for 20 years, but am trying my first biggie - a 3.5 pound chuck roast, rather on the lean side, now just marinating in some beer and pepper, a little pickle juice, and plenty of herbs. Would like to try searing first, and a tinfoil roasting pan to place in later, cover with vidalias and potatoes, and cook on indirect heat on my 22.5" Weber kettle, all under foil and kettle cover. By the way, the kettle, after almost 30 years itself, is still standing strong. Rain or snow! But seriously, any tips on cooking? Turn or no? 2 hours or less? And would anyone suggest a great rub?

My Funny Valentine deserves your attention
By Dave Deveau. Directed by Cameron Mackenzie. A Zee Zee Theatre production. At the Firehall Arts Centre on Wednesday, February 20. Continues until March 2
Actors are sacrificial lambs. If you want to know what I mean, check out Anton Lipovetsky's solo performance in Dave Deveau's My Funny Valentine. The performance isn't perfect, and neither is the evening, but both are so skilled and heartfelt that they deserve your attention.
In My Funny Valentine, playwright Deveau explores the issues and emotions evoked by the 2008 murder of Lawrence King, a 15-year-old high-school kid in Oxnard, California, who asked a schoolmate, Brandon McInerney, to be his Valentine. McInerney shot King twice in the head in the school computer lab. King died on Valentine's Day.
Deveau's approach is associative. Rather than showing us the characters we might expect to see, he turns his gaze to the periphery—to the victim's English teacher, Helen, for instance, and to the homophobic dad of another male student.
The writing is frothily, often bitchily, funny. A little girl who will receive the dead boy's liver has gay dads and resents it when women "give me a look like they want to nurse me". Pubescent Gloria yearns to leave Oxnard, which claims fame for being the former home of film director James Cameron: "I don't care how much money he spent on that Avatar movie. It still looks like a shiny cartoon."
And Deveau's meditation is complex. Helen, who has loved her gay student since he came out to her at 10, seeks justice—and, for her, justice involves supporting trying his killer as an adult. Her compassion takes sides. The homophobic father points out that the murdered gay student was sexually aggressive in ways that wouldn't have been tolerated if he had been a straight boy objectifying girls.
For all of its thematic complexity, though, the script has little narrative drive, and sometimes—notably in the passage delivered by a male teacher—it starts to feel long. And despite the point that the homophobe makes about objectification, the character is mostly a cliché. The guy is working-class, unemployed, and, by his own admission, none too bright.
Lipovetsky's performance rides a fine, sometimes contradictory line. Often, he bares his soul completely, as I've said. At other times, his acting is performative—still heartfelt, but broad. I'm thinking of Gloria, for instance, the would-be Oxnard escapee. With her, Lipovetsky leans so hard into the comedy, emphasizing her flamboyance and giving her such an exaggerated, valley-girl delivery, that she becomes much more of a theatrical creation than a credible, flesh-and-blood person.
With Helen, the actor manages to bridge both worlds. He plays the teacher's giddy clumsiness for all it's worth, but he also unerringly hits the depths. When Helen said of her lost student, "He haunts me," Lipovetsky's delivery was so true on opening night that I had to swallow sobs.

Something Colin likes! Shocking. I'll get flamed for this, but could it have to do with the fact that this is a gay love story?
Feb 24, 2013 at 5:06pm
OK, I went to see it. A fair but not particularly moving performance. But I think Colin got it backwards. Helen is by far the worst character in the show--while the moment when Larry King comes out to her is definitely moving--the rest of the time she just seems like a woman with nothing better to do than to try to get a 14 year old tried as an adult. She seems like a woman with an empty life who latched onto a gay kid to give meaning to her life.
The "homophobic" dad, however, makes some powerful points. In recounting the staring incident between Larry and his son he points out that if a boy had been staring at a girl instead of his boy the school administration would have had that boy in detention without so much as a hearing.
Similarly, the "straight" male teacher points out that wearing makeup and high heels and and behaving like a tart in the obviously sexualized way King did would have resulted in an intervention for a girl. But because he was a boy, the fact that his behaviour was disruptive in class was irrelevant.
Again, this is a piece to make us think about bullying in school, but Colin's review oversimplifies the issue into a "good" gay boy and a "bad" homophobic world that killed him. The play, tries, with some success, to suggest that the issue is more complicated than this.

I am starting to gather some lexical data that I'd like to analyse with python later on. It'll mostly do with:
-occurence of words
- if another word appeared withing 2-3 lines of the matched word
- if a word is found, is there another word in a neighbouring entry.
- finding unique values
- and some simple calculations (on dates)
That's for next year. First I'm trying to figure out the most optimal way of storing it for further analysis. Sometimes there will be a few entries per day. Sometimes there won't be any entry over a couple of days so the amount of data will not be massive. After a year, I'm going to start analysing it so I want to get the first steps right.
I think "visually" the data will be comprised of the following lines/entries apart from date, they are all strings, not numbers:
- Code: Select all
date, string, short_dictionary, list_A, list_B, long_string
What's the best way of organising/storing this data in python? eg, using classes (OOP) and/or sqlite, json, xml?

About the only thing I'm not happy with so far concerning my new Gold D, is the lack of built in utensil holder's it provide's. It only has 3 off to the right at the side burner area.
I was thinking about drilling several holes in the S/S front pannel (below the control knobs) so I can put some "S " hook's there to hang my utensil's, much more convenient location for me also. Having my utensil's hanging there while cooking would obstruct the use of cabinet door's, but that isn't a problem as I don't use that space for much of anything anyway.
Aside from being careful of the wiring behind the front pannel, does anyone know if drilling holes in the stainless would have any adverse affect to the steel itself, i.e. make it more prone to rusting, ect.. Thank's ! YB2

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/3/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDMONTON — At an event where you have to win all the games you should — and one or two more that you shouldn't — if you're going to take down a national title at week's end, Jeff Stoughton got a win here over the hometown favourites on opening day that seemed to fit a little into both categories.
Playing the Alberta juggernaut skipped by Kevin Martin in the first game for both teams of this 2013 Canadian men's curling championship on Saturday, Stoughton got extra end misses in succession from both Martin and Alberta third John Morris to author a steal and an unlikely 5-4 victory over the reigning Olympic gold medallists.
The loss infuriated Martin, who stormed off the ice muttering under and blowing right past waiting reporters, before returning moments later to face the music.
It was uncharacteristic behaviour for the normally even-keeled Martin, who laughed off his behaviour by saying that he simply needed to urinate after the game before he faced reporters. Martin did admit, however, that the loss was upsetting, coming as it did after what he said was a pick on his extra-end miss.
"You hate to give one away early, you know. That's all," said Martin. "But like I say, it's a long week."
To the degree Manitoba got the win thanks to misses by their opponents rather than great shots by their own team, it was a victory that they probably didn't deserve. But on a night when both teams made uncharacteristic mistakes and struggled at times to adapt to green ice conditions and what are a brand new set of rocks in use at the Brier for the first time, it was also a win that either team could have rightly laid claim to.
"Sure — why not," Stoughton replied when asked if his team deserved the victory. "We had a couple of chances early on, they had a couple of chances — it was one of those games... It was the type of game we thought it would end up to be — really close and a miss here and there and fortunately he missed his last one."
Manitoba recorded the victory despite a boisterous and partisan Alberta crowd — which was expected. But as the game wore on — and the liquor continued to flow — some in the crowd also took to chanting deprecating comments during the deliveries of the Manitoba players, something that isn't expected crowd behavior at major Canadian curling events.
But the Manitobans said they had no problem with the crowd doing a little heckling. "I don't mind the noise. You know what — people pay their money, we're fortunate to play in front of these crowds. I think it should be fun," said Manitoba third Jon Mead. "If it gets to you, good for them — they did their job."
Manitoba plays twice today, taking on Nova Scotia's Paul Flemming (0-1) this morning and another of the favourites — Ontario's Glenn Howard (1-0) — tonight.
Howard — the defending world champion — is coming off a bit of a scary debut Saturday night, as his team quickly fell behind 3-0 after just two ends to B.C. Brier rookie skip Andrew Bilesky before finding his groove and going on to a comfortable 8-4 win.
"They played better than us in the first few ends," said Howard. "I kind of mis-read the ice early and cracked a couple of guards... But give my guys credit, we didn't get down and came back."
LOOSE HAIRS — Newfoundland's Brad Gushue is the only team at 2-0 heading into today after wins over Nova Scotia and P.E.I. on opening day... Alberta second Marc Kennedy won Saturday's pre-event skills competition and the two-year car lease that goes to the winner.

Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 10/08/12
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia.
The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth.
Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections.
"It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!"
In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?"
The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement.
But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face."
Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road.
"Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed."
Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute.
The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions.
"It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition."
Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people."
"You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived."
Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft.
"It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Although this isnt a recipe book in my opinion, it is a very useful book to have that will teach you techniques that you probably wont forget. Recipe wise, there is one recipe per type of food, but he covers every piece of food. Examples of the techniques that are great,:
how to extract bitter juices from eggplant
how to grill asparagus ( I would either try to be careful or use a grill basket , but his way is great especially for presentation )
different cuts of beefs ( marinading, direct grilling, etc.. )
how to grill lettuce, yes lettuce.
I dont want to go on forever
towards the end of the book is all the recipes for rubs and mop sauces,
but I`ll stress again that the techniques are what makes this book special which you can apply to any recipe from any book, hence the title How to grill instead of grill recipes.

"Miracles of the Prophets"
• Ever since childhood I have thought that the existence of Allah, the moral virtues revealed in the Qur'an and the Hereafter need to be explained to people. For that reason I learned about the history of Islam and the life and Sunnah of our Prophet (saas), carefully studied the valuable works of great Islamic scholars, and began telling people what I knew.
• Like everything that befalls us, prison life is a test created by Allah, and is a pleasure and a delight.
• It is impossible for anyone to harm anyone else outside Allah's control. It is therefore Allah, Who puts one in prison, and Allah who frees one.
• I believe telling people that Darwinism is a grave deception is a duty incumbent upon every Muslim.
• My intellectual struggle against Darwinism is made possible by the will and inspiration of Allah. That is why I think that the first stage in the eradication of atheism from the world and its replacement with the moral virtues of the Qur'an must be the elimination of the intellectual basis of atheism. Allah showed me this, inspired it in me… This intellectual struggle that has been going on for some 20 years has allowed us to obtain the most excellent results… With the collapse of these heretical ideologies, people have begun turning to Allah and the true faith. This is a major historic development.
• It is very important for believers to unite if evil and those who commit evil are to be intellectually eliminated and for the alliance of the wicked to be shattered. It must not be forgotten that Almighty Allah is the greatest helper and supporter of those who struggle to disseminate the moral virtues of Islam. Muslims will be rewarded for these efforts by being raised in the sight of Allah. Allah bestows a delightful, peaceful and easy life in this world on the righteous.

Trump Not Sure Debate Will Go Forward: "I Don't Know, I Have To Look Into It"
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
This morning, reality TV host Donald Trump visited Imus in the Morning to plug his new book and discuss the wheels coming off the debate he is scheduled to host with Newsmax later this month.
During the interview, Trump indicated he wasn't sure if the debate would actually happen, lashed out at the candidates who have chosen not to attend the debate, complained about the "very unfair" rule that he can't host The Apprentice and run for president at the same time, managed to squeeze two plugs for the finale of The Apprentice (coming May 16!) into the conversation, and said that he has no plans to abandon a potential independent bid for president.
After Newsmax announced that Trump would be hosting their debate, conservative commentators and Republican Party officials recoiled, with Karl Rove mocking the idea that Trump would ask candidates about President Obama's birthplace (Trump is still a steadfast birther). Charles Krauthammer called the debate a "joke" and a "reality TV show" after Trump indicated he would endorse a candidate after it was over. RNC chairman Reince Priebus went on Fox News and expressed concern over Trump potentially running as an independent after moderating a debate.
The response from candidates hasn't been much better, with only two -- Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum -- agreeing to attend.
But Trump's comments on Fox Business probably give more ammunition to his critics. Trump played directly into the ethical concerns about his moderating a debate by refusing to drop his (almost assuredly toothless) threats to join the presidential race as an independent.
Asked by Imus this morning about the debate, Trump praised Gingrich for the "courage to immediately say yes," but had less kind words for Michele Bachmann, who turned down his invitation. Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Bachmann, who had come to visit his office "four times." According to Trump: "She'd call me, she'd ask me for advice. She said I should be her vice presidential, you know -- if she wins, she'd like to think about me for the vice presidency."
After mentioning that he had participated in a phone call with Bachmann's supporters, Trump complained: "It's actually called loyalty. How do you do that?"
Trump said that candidates and the Republican Party were concerned about having a debate with "somebody that could potentially run as an independent, and they asked me would I drop that, and I said, no, I'm not gonna drop it."
When Imus asked whether the debate would continue with only Santorum and Gingrich attending, Trump responded, "I don't know. I have to look into it," adding: "They really want me to drop my status as a potential person to run as an independent, and, honestly, I don't think I'm going to do that. I'm not going to drop it."
Refusing to name names, Trump expressed disappointment that "some of them don't have the courage to do" the debate and claimed that "a couple of them called me and told me, 'Donald, I'm just too nervous to do it.'"

I've tried most of them, and most were not good.
The best, in my opinion is Willy's in Agoura Hills, off the 101 freeway. It is generally in the LA area. They smoke all meats for up to 15 hours, and the smoker in the back is always going. Restaurant is up scale in decor, and friendly staff and owner.
It is five stars and most of the rest are 2 stars. But comparing them to places in Texas or KC , they would be 3 out of 5 stars.
Of course there is Texas Tyler Hogly Wogly, http://www.hoglywogly.com/, in Van Nuys( L. A.) Its been there for 50 years, and some people swear by them . I like them also. Decore hasn't changed in 50 years. But, bath rooms are like walking into an elegant french chateau.
Update- June 4, 2014-Willy's is now closed. And I forgot to mention that when ordering at Hogly, always ask for the meat to be dry( no house sauce) and not burnt( like in burnt ends). And Smoke City is better now.

Did you know?
Established in 1895, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is the oldest game reserve on the African continent and one of South Africa's largest.
Among South Africa's largest game reserves, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is one of the best places in the country in which to see the endangered rhino. The reserve has both black and white rhino, along with other members of the Big Five, namely lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo.
It falls under the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, a provincial conservation body, and is divided into two distinct areas. The northern Hluhluwe region of the reserve is forested and mountainous, markedly different to the undulating open savannah common to the southern Imfolozi region. This varied habitat attracts over 340 bird species, including the endangered bateleur eagle and ground hornbill.
Aside from black and white rhino, elephant, too, are plentiful here and many visitors to the park rate a close encounter with the world's largest land animal, on a reserve road or at a waterhole at twilight, as a highlight of their visit.
Photographers are spoilt for choice as the reserve also has cheetah, hippo, hyena, jackal, giraffe and wild dog. Nor should one discount the scaly and shelled denizens of the reserve, such as crocodile, tortoise, terrapin, snake and lizard, which also abound.
Well-disguised viewing hides overlook pans and waterholes where the birds and animals gather to drink, so you'll be able to see plenty game at an unusually close range.
You can experience the diversity of flora and fauna in this majestic reserve via 4x4 game drives or guided walks. Whatever your choice, this particular South African wildlife experience is guaranteed to be a memorable one.

How to get here
From Durban take the N2 north for 220km. Pass the Mtubatuba off-ramp. Take the next off-ramp, the R618 west, for 25km to the reserve gate.
Best time to visit
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi has hot, humid and rainy summers between September and April. From May to August conditions are dry and warm during the day, cooler at night. During winter the vegetation is sparser and watering holes busier, so game spotting is easier.
Tours to do
Evening game drives offer an exciting alternative to day drives, since many predators hunt under cover of darkness.
Get around
Options include self-drive, guided 4x4 tours or walking, both guided and self-guided.
What to pack
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is a low-risk malaria area, but consult your doctor before travelling. Ticks are prevalent so insect repellent should be used when walking in the reserve. In summer, sunblock is a must.
Where to stay
Accommodation options range from self-catering rondavels (round thatched huts) and chalets to fully-catered luxury lodges.

A's back Parker to win fifth straight game
Norris homers as Oakland beats Bay Bridge Series rivals again
OAKLAND -- Again the A's received a dominant performance from their starter. Again their offense did plenty to help him out. Again they won.
That this victory, a 6-3 decision, came in front of a sold-out home crowd, against the cross-Bay rival Giants with a hint of pride involved, well, that just made it even sweeter.
Bob Melvin must be smiling.
Oakland's manager, a Bay Area native, is never shy about his love for the annual Bay Bridge Series, an affair that brings together fans from both sides of the water to watch a pair of Northern California teams engage in Interleague Play in a postseason-like environment.
Melvin's lone issue with the season series, to be continued in San Francisco on Wednesday night, is that it's been reduced from six games to four this year, as part of a home-and-home setup.
His A's got the job done in their home confines, taking the first two from the Giants to give them their fifth straight win and 10th in the last 11 tries, pushing them to seven games over .500 for the first time since April 19.
"I take a tremendous amount of pride in getting a 'W,' because we work so hard and we have so many talented players, and any time you can take a victory against the defending World Series champs, two in a row, it's definitely satisfying," said catcher Derek Norris, whose second-inning two-run homer gave the A's a lead they would never relinquish.
The A's also got an eighth-inning home run from Adam Rosales, who snapped an 0-for-24 skid, and they are now within 2 1/2 games of the first-place Rangers, after being 7 1/2 back just 12 days ago.
In that time, Oakland pitchers have allowed three runs or fewer in nine of the last 11 games, with righty Jarrod Parker leading the way Tuesday and Ryan Cook and Grant Balfour lending a hand in the eighth and ninth.
After the Giants touched Parker for one run on two hits and a walk in the first inning, Parker settled down nicely and didn't allow another run until the sixth.
The righty, despite using 26 pitches in the first, ultimately got through seven innings, marking the third straight outing he's done so after failing to reach that mark in any of his first eight starts. Parker was responsible for only five hits in that span, to go along with four strikeouts next to one walk.
"I thought he threw the ball extremely well," said Norris. "He was commanding all of his pitches, very aggressive and did a great job. He's a horse for us. He's a guy that has the capability of throwing complete games every time out. He's that talented.
"I think everyone knew it at the beginning of the year, which is why there were so many question marks about what was going on. But he's the same guy. He's pitching aggressive, pitching down in the zone and keeping them off the scoreboard."
Of finding some consistency, Parker said, "It's not something I'm going to get too excited about, but it's something we've worked on, a combination of getting mechanical stuff down and feeling good. It's great to continue doing this."
Parker's teammates, meanwhile, weren't too kind to lefty Mike Kickham, who allowed four runs on four hits and four walks in just 2 1/3 innings in his Major League debut.
The southpaw, pitching in place of the injured Ryan Vogelsong, retired the first four batters he faced but only three of the next 11, with Norris going deep off him on a 3-1 pitch to left field.
The A's then sent eight men to the plate in the third, loading the bases with one out against Kickham, who issued a bases-loaded walk to Jed Lowrie and an ensuing RBI knock to Nate Freiman that led to his departure.
Oakland forced the Giants to use four pitchers by the time the fourth inning ended, tacking on a run in the fifth off former A's hurler Chad Gaudin, who allowed back-to-back hits to Josh Donaldson and Lowrie before getting an out and walking two in a row.
The A's now have 219 walks on the year, most in the Majors.
"You can talk about big hits, but you can also talk about big walks," said Melvin. "They're not as sexy as big hits, but you start putting a little bit of pressure on pitchers and make them throw a lot of pitches and make them work hard and all of a sudden they have nowhere to go.
"It's been a big weapon for us this year. The amount of walks we've had has been a big part of our game."
"We're doing a lot of things right," Norris said. "We're keeping it simple. Everybody is doing their part, and everyone knows their role. No one is trying to do anything more than they're capable of doing."

How to Find Top SEO Companies in Your Local Area
If you have just launched a glossy brand new website, you need to go an extra mile if you are really looking up for your website to work for you. There are billions of web pages online, all competing for visitors, customers and traffic, so how do you make sure you have an edge over the rest? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques such as Brooklyn SEO. When used effectively can increase your site leads, ensuring that you acquire customers and traffic that increases your website Return on Investment (ROI).
How Does SEO Work?
SEO is a broad topic covering many areas but ideally, it is the process of using search engine algorithms and keywords to optimize a website. When people look for products and/or services online, they head over to search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. and type search keywords. SEO primarily revolves around keywords. SEO techniques aim at finding specific keyword(s) that are more precise and likely to be returned search engines.
For example, searching by keyword "recipe" can return billions of web pages bearing the term "recipe" while narrowing to "cheap gluten free recipe" keywords would return more specific results. Local SEO is nowadays emphasized for better, higher and natural rankings. That means if you have a website in Brooklyn, using SEO in Brooklyn may return better results and marketing experiences than using broad SEO techniques.
Finding Top SEO Companies
Having understood some bits of SEO, how then do you find some good SEO companies which can deliver the expected results? If your company is based in Brooklyn for example, it could be more effective to hire the top SEO Company in Brooklyn, but how do you find the top company? It all starts by running a simple search on search engines but again, that can return so many companies vying for your attention and certainly not all are going to be good, though. Here is the trick; do a local search.
Doing a local search by choosing your own area can give you a better idea of local SEO companies that are best for site optimizing. Searching for Brooklyn SEO and SEO best in Brooklyn, for example, can return some expected results but you need to find out more on the companies that you shortlist. The best way to research about the few SEO companies that you shortlist is to read some online reviews about them. You can use their domain names as keywords to search for relevant reviews online and find out more about them.
An SEO company that can help your business with increased brand visibility through cost-effective SEO techniques sounds like a smart marketing investment. However, beware of the many SEO companies listed online and promising quick higher ranking. If potential customers cannot find your website then, there is no way to increase leads on products and/or services. Reading Brooklyn NY SEO Reviews is one way of getting in-depth information on the prospective SEO companies in localized area like Brooklyn.
Once you are satisfied with a few Brooklyn SEO companies to begin with, you can go ahead and find out their real offers. Contact them and ask the vital questions, their method of SEO, SEO process, ability to maneuver, flexibility, evidence of SEO results etc. Find out from social media networks such as twitter if they are talked highly of their SEO ability or online marketing by other sources. Such credibility may increase your confidence on the chosen SEO Company. How to find top SEO companies needn't be rocket science but again, a little effort is all what is needed for better results.

Hunter Mill District Winter Coat Closet Open Through March 15
The sixth annual Hunter Mill District Coat Closet for adults and children in need of winter coats is now open. The Coat Closet, co-sponsored with Reston Interfaith, opened on Tuesday, Nov. 13, for its sixth year of helping area residents stay warm. The Coat Closet will be accepting coat donations for adults and children at the North County Governmental Center, 12000 Bowman Towne Drive, Reston, on the following days through March 15:
- Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon.
- Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m.
- Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Donations of winter coats are tax deductible and receipts are available. It is asked that donations be new or gently used (in good condition and dry cleaned). Both child and adult sizes are needed ─ extra large sizes are especially appreciated. Volunteers are needed to assist clients in selecting coats, greet donors and sort donations.
Last year approximately 5,000 coats were given away. "The Coat Closet reflects two important things about the community: first, the willingness to recognize a need and second, the generosity in responding to that need," said Hunter Mill District Supervisor Catherine Hudgins, "They both are a reflection of being part of a great community."
For more information, contact Martin Taylor in the Hunter Mill District Supervisor's Office, 703-478-0283, TTY 711.

Vermont Marriage License
This information sheet was prepared to help you plan your Vermont wedding. If you have questions that are not answered, contact the Town Clerk or the Vital Records Unit of the Vermont Department of Health.
Do We Need a License?
Yes. Before your ceremony, you will need to purchase a Vermont marriage license. It must be presented to the Officiate before your wedding ceremony is performed. While your license may be purchased up to two months before your ceremony, it "becomes void sixty days from date of issue if the proposed marriage is not solemnized."(18 V. S. A., 513(b))
Do We Need Blood Tests?
Where Do We Get a Marriage License?
If both bride and groom are Vermont residents, you may go to the town clerk in either of your towns of residence. If just one of you is a resident, you must go to the town clerk of the town where the Vermont resident currently resides.
What if We Are Not Vermont Residents?
First, decide where in Vermont you wish to be married. Out-of-state residents must buy their license in the county where they plan to have the marriage ceremony. Any town clerk in that county can issue the license.
Are There Any Other Marriage Ceremony Restrictions?
Anyone under guardianship may not join in marriage without the guardian's written consent. Vermont also does not allow marriage ceremony between most close relatives. You cannot marry in Vermont to evade the laws of the state where you live. You cannot marry if either of you is currently married to someone else. The law also requires that both parties be of sound mind.
What Information Do We Need to Purchase a Marriage in Vermont?
You must know your legal town of residence and your place and date of birth; you will also need to know your parents' names, including your mother's maiden name, and the states where your parents were born. (A certified copy of your birth certificate can supply most of this information.) Vermont law requires that at least one of you must sign in the presence of the town clerk, certifying that all facts are correct; however, most town clerks prefer to see both of you in person before issuing your Marriage license, as the law requires that they satisfy themselves that you are both free to marry under Vermont laws. they may legally ask to see documented proof of your statements, for example birth certificates, divorce decrees, etc. (18VSA, 5141)
What Statistical Information Will I Need to Provide?
You will need to provide information about your race, the highest grade you completed in school, the number of times you have been married and how your previous marriage(s), if any, ended. This information does not become part of the marriage certificate.
What if Either of Us Has Been Married Before?
If you are a widow or widower, you are free to enter into a marriage. You will be asked the date your spouse died. If you are divorced, you may remarry after the date on which your previous marriage is dissolved.
Can a Marriage License Be Issued Through the Mail?
Can We Have a Marriage by Proxy?
Where Can We Have a Marriage?
A Vermont license is valid only for a marriage performed in Vermont. If you are a Vermont resident or are joining a Vermont resident, you may have your marriage ceremony anywhere in Vermont. If you are not a Vermont resident, you must be married in the county where your license is issued.
Who Will Marry Us?
A judge, Supreme Court justice, assistant judge, justice of the peace, or an ordained or licensed minister, rabbi or priest residing in Vermont or authorized by their denomination may perform your ceremony. A priest, rabbi, or minister from another state may perform your ceremony if he or she first obtains a special authorization from a probate court in the district where the marriage will take place.
What Do We Do with the License?
By law, you must deliver the license to the person who will conduct your wedding ceremony before the marriage ceremony can by performed.
Do We Need Witnesses?
Vermont law does not require witnesses. If you are planning a religious ceremony, check with your church or synagogue to see if religious tenets require witnesses for your marriage.
What Happens to the License after the Ceremony?
After the ceremony, the person who performs the ceremony (officiate) will complete the sections concerning the date, place and officiate information, and sign your license. It must then be returned by the Officiate to the town clerk's office where it was issued within ten (10) days, so that your marriage may be officially registered. It is not a complete legal document, useful for passports, Social Security, etc., until it has been recorded in the town clerk's office where it was purchased.
How Do We Get a Copy of Our Marriage Certificate?
There are two ways to obtain a copy of your marriage certificate: (1) When you purchase your license, you may arrange with the town clerk to mail you a certified copy of your certificate as soon as your marriage ceremony is recorded. The cost will be $25.00 ($20.00 for the license and $5.00 for the certified copy); (2) Two weeks or more after the ceremony, you may request, in person or in writing, a copy from the town clerk's office where you purchased your license; or six or more weeks after your ceremony, you may request, in person or in writing, a certified copy from the Vermont Department of Health, Vital Records Unit, 108 Cherry Street, PO Box 70 Burlington, Vermont 05402. Either way, the fee is $5.00, and you will receive a copy of the original certificate, embossed with the Town or state seal and signed and dated by the appropriate official. These certified copies are accepted for all legal purposes.
Check out our Wedding Reception Packages for ceremony pricing, some guidelines and information to help create a budget for your special day.

Qasawa now charged with attempting to receive, possess, conceal and store stolen explosives and doing so without a permit. A long complaint shows Qasawa contacted a company in Scranton, Pennsylvania that provides replica explosives for military training and the movie business.
---An employee of Inert Products notified the feds about conversations with Qasawa
An employee of that business called the feds after several phone conversations with Qasawa.
He'd allegedly asked to buy a crimping tool used to make explosives. The complaint says "the confidential witness asked Qasawa what the purpose of the crimping tool would be used for. The witness reported that Qasawa 'stammered' a little bit in answering the question, and then stated that he was going to use it to cut wires for work."
Later the employee called Qasawa with the feds recording offering illegal non-electric detonators – or blasting caps - Qasawa allegly previously asked to buy.
Mitch Ribitwer is Qasawa's attorney. "On the face I know it looks bad but this man is a collector. He has no evil intent, he has no malicious intent and none of these products here is or was intended to be used for any evil purpose."

Fullbeauty has just released its first 72-page catalogue, and here we thought the Victoria's Secret catalogues had a lot of options. With plus-size women in mind, fullbeauty offers the most comprehensive range of colors, styles, sizes and brands; every woman has the option of feeling sexy and smoking!
The catalogue features a lot more than just bras; it also includes shapewear, panties, sleewear, swimwear, and even more!

Curvy gals women have bigger needs, at least when it comes to support for their lady lumps, and fullbeauty understands that. Putting an emphasis on comfort and fit, Fullbeauty's lingerie has been receiving positive feedback in return.
Along with the catalogue, Fullbeauty introduces The Bra Club–if a customer purchases five bras within a year of the first bra purchase, then she will receive a free bra valued up to $30. With over 750 styles, gaining membership into The Bra Club seems easy peasy and very likely for a gal who wants a cute bra for any and all occasions.
Beauty, comfort and style, if Fullbeauty were a woman, she would have it all!
