NEW YORK (Jun. 21)
A call to German groups and individuals in the United States to sign a declaration asking the Allied Governments to do everything in their power to save the remaining Jews in Nazi Europe before they are annihilated, was issued today by the German American Congress for Democracy, an anti-Nazi organization.
The declaration points out that "never before in the history of mankind have such barbarities been inflicted upon innocent people with such deliberate brutality." It emphasizes that "the Nazi persecutions of Jews constitute a dreadful crime" and calls upon people in Germany to openly disassociate themselves from the "Nazi bestialities" against Jews, otherwise "the world may one day identify the German people with the crimes committed by the Gestapo, S. S. and the Nazi storm troops."

I got IPL done on some sun spots/moles and I was told to put Mederma on the places where the scab falls off and the skin underneath is pink. After some scabs fell off, there is still some brown pigment left and I wasn't sure if I should be putting Mederma on those too and if that will help fade the leftover marks because are those spots/marks considered scars? I looked up scars and it's defined as any injury to the skin? Are those marks considered scars then and will Mederma help fade them?
Will Mederma Help Fade Scars Left from IPL used to Remove Moles?
Doctor Answers 6
Scars from ipl. depends on what it really is and there are different options
All removed moles should be check by a dermatopathologist
Moles should not be removed with laser, since this does not allow the mole to be checked to make sure it's not cancerous. Mederma does not seem to work better than another moisturizer, such as Vaseline, aquaphor or vitamin E.
Moles should never be removed by lasers or IPL
The remaining brown pigment you are seeing could mean that it was a mole that was removed and that a deeper portion of the mole is still remaining which is producing pigment. What you are describing would therefore not likely be a scar. I feel that it is never appropriate to use a laser or IPL as your primary treatment for removing a mole. Regardless of how "benign" a mole may appear, a biopsy may still reveal it to be atypical. Using a laser or IPL to improve the appearance of a mole will alter its look and make it more difficult to observe for precancerous changes in the future. The majority of a mole can be removed very easily, and less expensively, using a shave biopsy technique. This typically results in a minimal scar, making the mole much less visible. It also has the added benefit of having tissue to send for microscopic examination, at least for reassurance purposes.

Mederma have been shown in at least two studies that it does not work. Only silicone gell sheating works
What to use after IPL for Brown Spots
IPL (intense pulsed light) is often used to remove brown pigmented spots on the skin. Several treatments may be necessary.
This is the best time of the year to remove brown spots, age spots and mottled pigmentation caused by sun damage. Repair now, and then next spring and summer you can move on to protect and prevent more from coming back.
We often combine IPL treatments with creams applied at home like Retin-A, Obagi, and hydroquinone. Also, make sure and use a UVA blocking moisturizing sunscreen like Anthelios for the perfect "recipe."
As to what to put on right after an IPL treatment, a bland soothing ointment like Vaseline and Aquaphor are among the best and just so happen to cost the least.
I am not sure that Mederma does anything more than a moisturizer.
Mederma needs a well controlled double-blind study to prove that it is actually effective in treating scars. I am not convinced.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke won't raise borrowing costs before 2011 as the threat of deflation remains for the U.S., said Pacific Investment Management Co., which runs the world's largest bond fund.
Benchmark rates will not rise "before 2011 and I'm not only forecasting that as a professional forecaster, but positioning portfolios on that proposition as well," said Paul McCulley, 52, managing director at Pimco, in an interview that was broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corp. today, and taped earlier in the week. "What I'm worried most about is simply a shortfall in global aggregate demand relative to supply potential."
U.S. economic growth will be closer to 3 percent than the range of 5 percent to 7 percent for the past 15 years, Bill Gross, who runs Pimco's Total Return Fund, said in his August investment outlook last week. The U.S. economy will begin to recover in the second half of 2009, he wrote on Pimco's Web site.
Gross's $161 billion Total Return Fund returned 12 percent in the past year, beating 96 percent of its peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Pimco, based in Newport Beach, California, is a unit of Munich-based insurer Allianz SE.

Horrible! Firstly, I wish that more people would not protect the individual that botched them, these "Dr's" need to be accountable for their negligence and apathy. I understand that honest, unpreventable mistakes will be made by good Dr's trying their best; but that doesn't apply here… This is about the lack of concern or caring about doing the best possible job and more about making money at peoples expense. There are so many egotistical arrogant Dr's that don't care; it's for the money and you are left with lifelong, emotionally damaging results.. At least if these individuals were named it would put them on notice that their botchery could be made public and it would help knowing what Dr. to stay away from so that the same thing does not happen to someone else.
I had a "butt lift", but as everyone here has testified, it was a body lift. I had a previous butt lift from another Dr. previously but did not have great results. This "Dr.", only having 5 years experience and trying to make a name for himself, said that he could significantly improve me...
Long story short, after 4 revisions at a cost to me, he has taken away any buttock fold, including up into my groin and vaginal area, all of which are now FLAT. I believe he let an assistant practice on me because of how poor and extreme the last scars and revision looked.... My buttock is long, flat with very, very obvious scars because of what he did (part of my buttock opened up after his surgery so there is a scar that is even longer and wider). The scar on one side is so low, almost midway in back of my thigh. Because he did not anchor anything, the scar continues to get longer and lower I look horrible in jeans, shorts, etc. and now have to wear a special garment to try and make me look like I have somewhat of a buttock... It is so devastating and life altering. I am depressed everyday and cannot even stand to look in the mirror.
I have gone to 3 other PS to try and see if they can repair what he did. So far they have all said that there wasn't because he took away my buttock folds and that they were very hard to create. I am still looking. The worst part is his uncaring attitude saying that the bad results were my fault! He took my money and body from me.

Hospital transparency not quite there
Ontario's new requirements that hospitals post more information on their websites is welcome news.
Every hospital person I spoke to yesterday for a Windsor Star story expressed the same sentiment, as well, saying they want to be more open and accountable.
They all supported posting more information online, including salaries, perks and expense accounts of hospital executives.
The Broader Public Service Accountability Act of 2010 listed hospital executive contracts as searchable under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act starting Jan. 1. Most hospitals posted their executive salaries on Tuesday, showing some whopping salaries and extras across the province.
Some Toronto-area hospital executives made more than $700,000, plus generous perks. Locally, Hotel-Dieu Grace provincially appointed supervisor Ken Deane topped the list with a $492,000 salary, followed by Windsor Regional Hospital CEO David Musyj at $265,000 and Hotel-Dieu chief of staff Dr. Gord Vail at $240,000 for working 2.5 days a week at the hospital.
As far as complete openness goes, however, the hospitals have done well — but are not quite there yet.
Finding the salaries online takes a bit of work at all three area hospital websites. None says something as simple as "Executive compensation" on the homepage.
Here's how to find the local info:
For Windsor Regional Hospital, go to wrh.on.ca, click on "Public Reporting," click on "Broader Public Service Accountability Act," then click on the individuals listed.
For Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital, go to hdgh.org, click on "Public Reporting," click on "Travel and Business Expense," click on "Contracts of current active senior executives," then click on the individuals listed.
For Leamington District Memorial Hospital, go to leamingtonhospital.com, click on "More" beside Freedom of Information, click on "About Us," click on "Executive Contracts," then click on the individuals listed.
Besides providing less-than-direct online routes to the information, there's another issue that hurts the openness of salaries provided in certain cases. Web visitors will not find easy lists. Rather, they will come upon original contracts, which certainly provides a lot of information. And that's great.
But most contracts are several years old. A few date back to 2003 or earlier. Salaries have obviously increased for many of the executives listed, though you can't always find up-to-date information.
The website of London Health Sciences Centre, by contrast, includes the original executive contracts, but also provides an up-to-date uniform summary sheet that makes it easier to digest.
Being up to date and easy to read is clearly the essence of openness, so here's hoping local hospitals, which have taken the right step, will just go a little bit further to being as open as possible.

The Latest From BostonBiker.org
News, Events, Updates
Boston Area Research Initiative Releases Crash Data MapWritten by Boston Biker on Jun 19
From the Boston Cyclists Union:
The Boston Area Research Initiative (BARI), the Boston Cyclists Union, the Boston Police Department and other partners, led by Rappaport Fellow Dahianna Lopez, have released two new tools for bike advocates everywhere. One is aninteractive online crash map that allows people to identify crash clusters and see potential patterns. Two is a public release of the raw data that helped create that map. The raw data however contains much more data than the map—including narrative police reports that are our best indication of cause and a number of facts derived from them.
The release of the data opens the door for researchers around the world and allows Boston to join just a handful of cities in the country that provide public access to police crash data, and a very select few that include narrative police reports with that data. Accessing the data requires a LinkedIn profile and approval by BARI.
More from BARI:
This instance of BostonMap illustrates patterns in bicycle collisions across Boston, MA between 2009 and 2012. The data are derived from Boston Police Department (BPD) incident narrative reports, as organized and compiled by Dahianna Lopez (Harvard Injury Control and Research Center) and partners at BPD, BARI and the Boston Cyclists Union. Visitors can also download the raw data, including narrative reports, and documentation at the BARI Data Library.
The Boston Research Map
Boston Research Map is an open source web mapping system that is an ongoing project of the Boston Area Research Initiative (BARI) in conjunction with the WorldMap team. It is intended to help faculty and their students, policymakers and practitioners, and community members to explore the neighborhoods of Boston from their computer. Visitors to BostonMap can:
1. Interact with the best available public data for the Boston region, while also uploading their own data.
2. See the whole Boston area but also zoom in to particular places.
3. Accumulate both contemporary and historical data supplied by researchers and make it permanently accessible online.
4. Work collaboratively across disciplines and organizations with spatial information in an online environment.
Check out the map here
The obvious benefit of data like this is that it allows a glance to see the "hot zones" of bicycle crash areas. Its obvious that Huntington Ave. and Mass. Ave. are where most of the crashes happen, and that should be where most of the effort is put to reduce them.
I was also not surprised to see that there are many crashes on the green-way bicycle path in JP. After having spent years riding on that path I can tell you that it is deceptively dangerous and could use some serious upgrades/safety changes. I wouldn't mind seeing the existing bike path given over to pedestrians (they basically use it like a walking path anyway, even though there are signs telling them every 100 feet not to). With the current sidewalk could be turned into a buffered cycle track with a permanent cement buffer. This would keep cyclists out where turning cars can easily see them.
Big data can lead to safety, but there are some drawbacks to these maps. They need context, it would be super helpful if I could easily sort by deaths, minor skinned knee, car caused, cyclist causes, pot holes, etc. To a non-cyclist looking at this map might scare them rather badly about the safety of cycling. These issues are easy enough to solve, the data simply must be segmented properly.
Overall, these sort of projects are amazing and I can't wait to see more of them. The next step might be a smart phone app that can help cyclists donate anonymous data to a project like this. Keep up the good work BARI, and I look forward to data like this driving future planning and policy choices.

Where We're Going, We Don't Need MapsWritten by doored on Apr 15
In our continuing series of guest blogs for the front page here is another good one from Doored from a couple days ago.
My only preparation for this morning's ride involved googling "How to bike in the rain." No maps, no intense study of the route. I didn't even have my GPS. True, I'd never ridden in from Brighton (I rode from the city outwards on my last commute). I'd already decided not to bike in on Commonwealth Avenue. Although there is a bike lane, I still felt like I was taking my life into my hands last time on my ride home. I was plotting a new route as I went, exploring parts of the city I'd only ever ridden below, without any guidance above my sense of direction and the ever present Hancock building.
I coasted along comfortably in the warm humid weather, following the spacious bike path down tree-lined Beacon Street, following the C-line. My pleasant cruise ended, however, when the bike lane did. Now I was in traffic, dodging between the parked cars and the driving ones, at points in the travel lane. Luckily, the many bike commuters gave me some guidance about how to behave. I was following hard-core bike commuter, and as we came across several garbage trucks blocking the road, I planned to follow his lead. He swerved around the first truck, I swerved around the first truck (throwing a "please don't kill me!" grin to the car behind me). To get around the second truck, though, he somehow slipped through a 6" gap between the truck and a car's rear-view mirror. I stopped short, then walked my bike across the side-walk in defeat.
My map-less navigation served me well until I hit the Citgo sign. A few months ago on foot, I'd spent a freezing hour lost around Fenway at night and that familiar panic was setting in. However, I knew the bike afforded me the ability to get slightly lost and recover more quickly. I followed the majority of the cars and, as I crested the bridge over the Pike, the Kenmore canopy came into view and I felt at least mostly orientated.
Peddling hard in the direction of the Commons, I found myself at a strange intersection where the bike path, with no warning or signage, move from the right-hand side of the road to the left-hand side. I crossed carefully, and continued riding on the left-hand side until I came to the Public Gardens. My relief was followed by confusion: There is no good way to ride one's bike around the Commons and Public Gardens. The one-way streets, lack of bike lanes, and temporary insanity that hits all drivers in the area again led me to walk the bike the last several blocks to school.
Were I walking, or even riding the T, I would be loathe to attempt a commute without knowing the route turn for turn. I'm the person who usually maps the route, checks for landmarks at every turn, and has a print-out of directions if there's the slightest chance that I'll get lost (and I still get lost). However, on the bike, that level of preparation seems less important. If I turn down a wrong street, it's easy enough to turn around when I realize it and retrace my route. I've got a great general sense of direction (Am I heading North or South? Towards the water or away?) So far, that's all that I've needed to get me where I'm going.
Although walking started the process, biking has gone a long way towards connecting the T-stops in my mind. Sure, I know what stuff is directly around Aquarium, but before I started biking and actively exploring the streets, I didn't really know what was between the Government Center and the Aquarium stops. You don't really get a sense of where Kendall is in relation to Davis until you actually go from Kendall to Davis above ground. Now, instead of isolated islands or land in my mind, the T stops are navigational points that I can use to orient myself in the city. I'm discovering a side of the city I've never seen before, and I look forward to seeing more of it as Spring progresses.

Mapping Boston's Bicycle InfrastructureWritten by Boston Biker on Jan 17
I am looking for some help. I want to create a google map of every single piece of bike infrastructure in Boston and the surrounding area. Every bike lane, every bike box, every cycle track, every off road path, the works. I will be including large bike parking facilities like the bike cages at T-stops, but skipping (for now) individual bike racks.
To do this I need all of your help. I have created a map (see below) that ANYONE can add to. Simply click on the link here, or below the map and add away. Try to label your points/lines/shapes with something useful, and also try not to delete anyone's information.
I figure if we all add our little parts we will have the whole business mapped up in no time. Then we can use this map to show new bikers where all the bike lanes etc are.
The map is getting a lot of attention! Which means it takes a while to load, to speed up the page I have put it below the fold. I noticed that some lanes are on there multiple times, feel free to prune them off if you accidentally double up.
If you want to see the entire map continue reading.
If you want to see the whole map with all the edits on one page click here.

Expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has denied receiving money from government minister Tokyo Sexwale, but says he would have welcomed such a donation.
"I have not received any money from comrade Tokyo. I wish I had received some money," Malema said in Johannesburg at his first news conference since his expulsion on April 24.
Malema, describing Sexwale as a "suitable" candidate for president, laughed and said: "Even now, it is not late. Even if he has got something to give me."
Dressed in a crisp white dashiki, embroidered in the green, gold and black of the ruling party that kicked him out, and a mini beret, Malema was responding to a report in City Press over the weekend.
According to the report, a company started and partly owned by Sexwale had paid at least R100 000 into the "Ratanang" Malema family trust as Sexwale "is seriously stepping up a new campaign to become ANC president".
"All those who I have supported, even President (Jacob) Zuma, has never given me money," said Malema.
"I know money and I know what money can do. We can't sell the organisation and the views and the aspirations of our masses for R100 000. We can't do that.
"Anyway, Tokyo qualifies to be a president of the Republic of South Africa."
He hastily added: "Any member of the ANC, as long as you pay R12, you qualify to be a president of the ANC... even Floyd," he said, referring to suspended spokesman Floyd Shivambu, who was sitting next to him.
"He's a former premier (Sexwale); he's a minister now of human settlements... a mind who commands clarity of issues, so what more do you want from him? He qualifies. It's not like he's stealing any position..."
If Sexwale had given him money, he would not be ashamed, as it would not be blood money from a slush fund.
"But that doesn't mean I support Tokyo or the Youth League supports Tokyo. The league has not reflected on who should be the president of the ANC. That time is coming," he said.
Malema would not discuss reports that he owed the SA Revenue Service millions, considering this private, but would say that if Sexwale had not given him money, then it followed that Sexwale had also not paid SARS for him.
He denied being part of any corrupt activities or irregular tendering for contracts.
Over the years, media reports have suggested that some tenders in Limpopo are won through association with him, and that he benefits either financially, or that these associations explain some of his assets such as a house in Sandton.
Malema denied being involved in tender rigging or corruption.
"I have never been engaged in any fraudulent activities," he said.
He welcomed any investigation by specialist police unit the Hawks.
"I want to be informed, maybe also be liberated from my own consciousness."
Although the Ratanang trust did not have receipts to prove it, they had helped orphanages, donated uniforms for children, money to athlete Caster Semenya and helped build her a house.
They paid university fees for some students, and helped bury people whose families could not afford it.
"If you ask for a record of all those things I do not have it. Because I do not put records in my mind, because after helping I do not expect anything. They don't owe me anything."
Malema said when he realised he was about to be expelled from the ANC and lose his income, he got rid of his car, which was financed through a bank on the back of his salary.
"I then said: 'Ehe, take this car. I can't afford (it). Let me just release...'. So why would this corrupt individual not even have a car," said Malema, adding that he is currently driving a borrowed car.
He maintained that the ANC's disciplinary committee of appeals process was politically skewed against himself and his fellow office bearers.
They would continue talking to leaders in the ANC in the hope of having the expulsion and suspensions changed.
Malema said he still considered himself a member of the ANC, albeit an "expelled member". - Sapa

Our resident dream expert, Damian Nordmann from the School of Metaphysics, joined us this morning to help us determine what our dreams are trying to tell us.
John had a dream that he was inside his house. It was storming like crazy outside, and he noticed water coming in the house from a window. When he walked over to the window, he saw a cellphone on the floor like it had been thrown through the window and the rain was coming in through the open window. He walked outside and the rain immediately stoppped and became fog everywhere. He could hear voices talking but he couldn't find the people speaking.
Damian says: Water represents life experiences and your house represents your mind. John was dreaming that all of these life experiences were coming down upon him, and he's being taken over by them. The phone is a tool of communication, as well as the voices, and not being able to find the source of either means that communication is there but it's unclear.
Julie had a wild dream that she was tweezing her eyebrows. She noticed random black hairs growing on her face, so she went to pluck those too. However, every time she plucked one, more would pop up in its place.
Damian says: Our face in dreams is our identity and how we see ourselves. Hair represents our consciousness. Seeing these popping up all over you face indicates Julie might be having errant, wild thoughts that shouldn't be there.
Tony shared a dream that his sister had. She lost her dad this past year, and in her dream, she saw her father at a party with her siblings. He walked in and pulled her aside to talk to her. He said, "I'm not really gone. I've just been away."
Damian says: There are two ways to look at this. The first is that this is a visitation from her dad to say that all is good. Deceased loved ones sometimes do communicate to us through our dreams. Another way of interpreting this dream is that her father represents her super conscious mind and trying to reconnect with it.

The world's largest travel review website, TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP), continued to grow strongly in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 with a 25% y-o-y increase in revenue, driven primarily by traffic growth. Click-based advertising revenue grew 21% y-o-y due to robust growth in hotel shoppers in both core and emerging markets while display-based advertising revenue growth accelerated to 18% owing to a rise in traffic and better sell-through rates.
The company's EBITDA slowed with 16% y-o-y growth compared to 30% observed last quarter on account of hiring and acquisition related costs as well as headwinds related to the meta display roll-out. Management expects further EBITDA growth to slow in the second half of the year due to the negative impact from the transition to meta and costs related to the launch of its new off-line ad campaign. [1]
Despite management's expectation of temporary ramifications resulting from the full-fledged roll-out of the meta display, we believe TripAdvisor's user base and revenues will grow in the long term with growth in its mobile platform, the expansion of its international footprint, and higher acceptance of its meta feature by users and advertisers.

See our complete analysis for TripAdvisor's stock
Meta Display To Limit Short Term Growth But Approach Revenue Neutrality By Year End
TripAdvisor rolled out its new meta display feature globally across its smartphone traffic in Q4 2012. By Q1 2013, about 20% of the company's desktop and tablet users were using the meta display feature. The transition to 100% meta display across all devices globally was completed in the latter part of Q2 2013.
Earlier, TripAdvisor's partner pages appeared in a pop-up window when a user entered a travel query. However, the company has now integrated all the search query results on the main page known as meta-search. When users perform a search on TripAdvisor, they get all results on the page along with a map that pinpoints the location in the user's search results. This enhancement allows users to see travel content, real time hotel pricing and availability from booking partners, all on a single page.
Revenue from advertisements on meta search are CPC (cost per click) based. Since comparison-shopping now takes place on TripAdvisor's website, fewer leads are sent to advertisers. However, the leads are more qualified, resulting in higher conversion rates of hotel shoppers to revenue-generating clicks. [2] Hence, TripAdvisor charges CPC rates about three times higher than historical rates, although the higher rates have not yet been able to offset revenue headwinds due to fewer leads sent than before. This negatively impacted growth by approximately 3%–5% in Q1 2013. The impact was even more magnified in Q2 2013 at 6%–9% due to the 100% roll-out of the meta feature in the latter part of the quarter.
Management expects continued headwinds in Q3 2013 as it will be the first quarter with 100% meta throughout the period, and the effects will also fall to the bottom-line as hiring and investment plans remain unchanged. However, it also expects the impact to steadily subside thereafter and see revenue neutrality by the end of the year as the meta feature brings more customers on board, conversion rates improve and advertisers become more familiar with the meta search operating model. [1]
Although the meta transition is expected to negatively impact TripAdvisor in the short term, we believe the feature will help the company expand its user base in the long run as it enhances the overall user experience by addressing queries on a single page. This in turn will lead to revenue enhancement as the company's vast user base is its key growth driver.
Strong Traffic Growth Owing To Mobile And International Expansion
The average unique monthly visitors on TripAdvisor's websites stood at 220 million in Q2 2013, an increase of about 57% y-o-y. Mobile traffic grew over 200% y-o-y and accounted for about 35% of the total traffic while cumulative app downloads for the quarter breached 50 million, an annual increase of more than 125%.
TripAdvisor recently entered into a partnership with Samsung (PINK:SSNLF) making it the only travel application to come pre-installed on the new Samsung Galaxy S4. This benefited the company as app utilization increased by 10% during Q2 2013. With the acquisition of GateGuru, TinyPost and Jetsetter, TripAdvisor added several new travel, search and review apps, and websites to its portfolio in Q2 2013.
Hotel shopper growth showed good progress on smartphones with triple-digit growth rates. However, while monetization levels of tablets are already approaching that of desktops, smartphone monetization remains low at around 20%. We believe the current boom in mobile usage will fuel growth in the user base for TripAdvisor, and as the company strives to improve monetization rates on smartphones, revenue will grow.
Also, the company has a vast international presence with TripAdvisor branded websites in 30 countries and 21 languages. About 50% of its revenues come from international markets. TripAdvisor is presently working on new TripAdvisor domains in localized languages to better serve local travelers and align its offerings with its local OTA partners in the region. As it targets growth outside the U.S., we feel that it can witness higher growth in hotel shoppers as the hotel industry in international markets offers better growth opportunities compared to the U.S. market, where growth is slower.
New Transaction-Based Offering Lifts Outlook For Subscription And Other Related Revenue Growth
Subscription, transaction and other revenue increased by 68% y-o-y in Q2 2013 mainly due to improved business listing sales productivity and higher vacation rentals. Subscription and other revenues contributed 13% to the company's total revenue compared to 10% in Q2 2012. The new transaction based-model introduced in Q1 2013 is different from the old subscription model under which properties paid a subscription fee to TripAdvisor for business listing. Now, properties are free to list but they pay on a per transaction basis, which has resulted in a greater number of businesses listing themselves. Additionally, this allows TripAdvisor to list those properties at the top which have higher conversion rates, thus providing the best recommendation to the user. The company expects to see continued sales productivity in business listings and higher vacation renting due to the introduction of the offering. For the full year 2013, it now expects subscription and other related revenue growth at close to 60%. [1]

Imp in a Ball is an item usable from the inventory, which does not need to be equipped. It functions like a Magic Eight Ball for Warcraft. When you use it, a floating ball (with imp ears protruding) appears. You can ask it a question and it will provide an answer. The question and answer are in no way related to each other, the Imp merely provides one of many random and often wiseguy answers. The answer given is provided in the form of a whisper to the user, unless the user is in a party, in which case the answer is provided in party chat.

Germany is at the heart of a number of top river cruise itineraries, with towns and cities on some of the biggest rivers across the whole of Europe. And food is at the heart of Germany – it has some of the most famous local dishes around the world including a mix of snacks, full main dishes and desserts that despite having strong German ties are renowned the world over.
So take a look through a list of the top five different foods that you really should make the effort to try when you next visit Germany on a river cruise, whether you're heading along the Rhine or discovering the Danube – they are all great options!
Apfelstrudel is apple strudel, served by the slice and warm as a dessert. It's a delightful dish that features thin pastry wrapped in layers around apples that have been flavoured with sugar and cinnamon and occasionally raisins. The end result is a warming, flaky dish that has been popular as a dessert dish for many years in the country. It's usually served with a sugar coating and can be accompanied by cream, fruits or other associated side dishes.
Brezel or Brez'n are pretzels, although they are significantly different to those found in America. They are soft and white baked products sometimes with salt or seeds added, and they act as a snack or a side dish. They are a popular bar snack to have with a beer too, and they are sold everywhere, so you'll have no problems getting your hands on one if you want to give it a go. Try a buttered one, or with something like cheese or a cold meat added.
A simple yet popular dish, Kasespatzle translates as cheese egg noodle, which quite clearly explains the dish. It is a cheese noodle similar to macaroni, usually served with roasted onions either on top or mixed into the dish. The cheese is usually mild, making it a straight-forward and fairly universal option as a simple meal. Be careful though, it's often served straight from the pan meaning it is extremely hot.
Schnitzel is one of those dishes that around the world may have more of a reputation for its name than the actual food itself. Schnitzel is a thin cut of meat, similar to an escalope or steak, that has been breaded. Weiner Schnitzel, possibly the most famous variation of the dish, is veal. You can have it served 'Hamburg-style', with a fried egg on top, or go extravagant with a Holsten-style option that not only includes the egg but also capers and anchovies.
A wurst is a sausage and there are many hundreds of different variations, so there's not necessarily just one that I can recommend. The classic bratwurst is one of the simple examples, just a ground pork sausage spiced and fried, but there are so many others you could try, like currywurst (yes, it's self-explanatory), and rostbratwurst which is usually served with sauerkraut, the renowned fermented cabbage dish.
I also want to give an honourable shout-out to lebkuchen, a beautiful gingerbread confectionery item that in my opinion works best when made with chocolate, though walnuts and dried fruits are also common.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk' started by Playoffs, Sep 14, 2013.
3TFO: Titans @ Texans, Week 2
Those are good. But the main thing I want to focus on is that Titans Pass rush. It looked fearsome last week. Jurrell Casey looks like something clicked.... & he'll be lining up against Chris Myers.
I hope we open with a couple of middle screens, to see what's what before we try anything deep.
Can you explain "middle screens" for me? Are you talking about slip screens?
I'm worried about Pollard on a safety blitz. He's known for taking big shots at QBs. On defense, Chris Johnson isolated on Texan LBs is a concern.
I was hoping not to worry about this yet another year, but...............when are we ever going to consistently be able to play two good halves?
This Sunday! Maybe.
When they quit messing with your mind with the injury reports.
I like it when all three are about how the other team has to handle us.
I wonder if we could objectively measure this against other teams.
Look at it this way, every time we have an "only played one half well" game, so did the other team.
I can't help but think that the only playing one half thing has a lot to do with adjustments, it's something that Kubiak has improved at no end over the past 3 years.
I think he's reached a stage where he's all seeing about what his own players are capable of and what he can do to change things for the better...I've no longer got issues about the "turtle" with a lead because I don't see it beating us often, and if things aren't clicking first half...I have confidence in our ability to make a game of it in the second.
I really like that our D has come through with a fantastic second half performance last week and am absolutely willing to write off the poor first half showing, all of a sudden I'm seeing depth at positions I didn't see it before, DE and safety. The mix at ILB will improve with Sharpton coming back.
I've long been a big Sharpton fan, the injuries are a huge issue so I won't rely on the dude, but when healthy he brings it. Joe mays looked better than expected too, so as long as Cush can come up with the goods for that big play or two each week until he gets back to 100%, I've got a lot of faith in that group.
I can't wait for this game! I think we're going to lay something down this week with smiffy, reed, sharpton back in the mix and an O also seemingly on the upswing!
This season has the feeling to me, that we're going to do what's necessary to get through the regular season slog and peak come playoff time.
For the most part.. but remember Denver last year? If I were one of their fans, I'd say "we didn't show up in the first half, weren't prepared.... ran out of time in the second."
Even though the Texans played outstanding football in both halfs.
I wouldn't say I've "long been a fan" but I do appreciate what he brings & think a healthy Sharpton is very underrated by our fans.
Mays... he played about what I expected, the thing I hope he brings is an ability to get after the QB, ala Cushing. Something I think Sharpton lacks. It was mentioned very often in our last game, that Cushing is our primary blitzer, & the other teams know it. I'd like for either Mays or Sharpton to gain some noteriety in that department, so Cush can drop back into zone more often & it would be less predictable when he does blitz.
At the very least, when the QB sees Brian drop into coverage, I don't want them thinking, "Shew..... " I want them looking for that other LB.
Mays was destroying blockers last week. A physicality that Sharpton, Dobbins and James all lacked last season. Great compliment to Cushing
So, is this a rivalry?
We're in the same division, we play each other twice a year...... but the series record is 14-8.... tacks. Not as lopsided as our 4-18 record versus the Colts. If it weren't "accepted" that the AFC South goes through Houston, they (the Colts) probably wouldn't give two thoughts to our game.
I mean we're 13-9 against the Jags, do we consider that a rivalry?
Yeah, there's the Bud Adams thing & the Oilers history & all that, but the Titans fans don't care about that. We haven't beaten them to keep them out of the play offs, they haven't beaten us to keep us out of the play offs..... We're only just now getting to be a "good" team & the rest of our division don't really have a lot going on... maybe the Colts have aspirations, but we'll see come December.
Anyway... I wanted to look at the "rivalry" between the Tacks & the Texans since 2006 (the Kubiak era) & came up with this:
We won 2 of the last 3 at Reliant, 3 of the last 5.... But they've won 4 of the 7 home games since Kubiak's been HC.
I know, I know.... WHYDFML right? We've beaten the Titans 6 of the last 9.
This ain't no rivalry. They're not in our class & haven't been for some time.
I could almost accept that concept if it didn't keep on happening also with relatively lowly teams like the Chargers last week.
That's the thing... who knows who's "lowly" this early in the season? Last year we saw a "lowly" Colts team go 11-5 and make it to the playoffs. One of this year's "lowly" teams, the Chiefs, is 2-0... The Chargers were supposed to be "lowly" and the Eagles, equipped with their shiny, new, high-octane offense were supposed to be unstoppable. No one told the Chargers. The AFC North, home of the world champs has all of ONE WIN between all four teams (okay, they'll have two after MNF tonight).
I guess my point is that we won't really have a good gauge of who's powerful and who's just pretending until mid-October. ...maybe later than that.
So, while my B/P would appreciate a couple of stress-free blowout wins, I'll take a win anyway I can get it.
And just between us chickens, the game that really scares me crapless is Seattle.
Not me. We're either going to win it, or we're going to lose it. Doesn't really matter either way. Different conference & all. If we're going to lose... let's lose the non-conference games.
DeAndre Hopkins received PFF's highest grade for all WRs in Week 2. Chris Myers did same for Centers, Shane Lechler for Punters.
Their pass rush looked better than last year. Either that or our OL is worse. I thought Newton did a fine job staying in front of his man, but he's still giving up too much ground. Don't know what's going on with 76... but I trust he'll figure it out.
Still think we can do better than Wade Smith.
I'm going to need help removing my foot from my mouth.
Separate names with a comma.

Sidebar Generator Plugin
I am trying to add a sidebar to a one column page by using the SideBar Generator Plugin. I am having problems doing so because the theme I created on Artisteer has .php files for sidebar-bottom.php, sidebar-default.php, sidebar-footer.php, sidebar secondary.php, sidebar-top.php, and sidebars.php while when I have used it in the past here has only been one .php folder for sidebar. Where do I need to place the generated_dynamic_sidebar() code that the plugin tells you to put in?

Another couple of images have been sent forth from Marvel to hype Avengers vs. X-Men, and fans are either salivating for more details or fully inundated already. However, this batch actually tells us something beyond "our favorite heroes will punch each other."
Here's the cover for the AvX tie-in New Avengers #25, featuring an "Iron Phoenix" version of Danny Rand.
What's that about? What's his connection to the Phoenix? There's a question for you. But it probably has something to do with his chi.
Anyway, if you want more splash pages, here's the cover for Avengers vs. X-Men #2.

New Zealand: Christchurch
16th November 2012
The Prince takes to the dance floor in ChristchurchView Album (10 images)
Despite the devastation caused by the earthquake of February 2011, the mood in Christchurch was full of positivity when The Prince and The Duchess visited today.
After a mihi whakatau (Maori welcome) at the Christchurch city council building, Their Royal Highnesses met those injured in the earthquake.
Many had been crushed, one woman by a six tonne beam, some were in wheelchairs, and some had had limbs amputated. Afterwards The Prince and The Duchess drove around the red zone with the Prime Minister John Key, to receive a briefing on the worst damaged area of the city. They then visited the Cashell Mall where freight containers have been painted in bright colours and transformed into independent shops.
Music thronged the city with bands playing 1940s swing jazz music. Their Royal Highnesses showed their lighter side when they took to the dance floor in Christchurch today.
The dancefloor is a pop-up facility called Dance-O-Mat, created by the charitable trust Gap Filler, which has coin operated lighting and sound courtesy of a washing machine that plays tunes from an mp3 player
. For almost two years the organisation has been finding creative uses for open spaces left following the earthquake that struck Christchurch in September 2010 and the second deadly quake in February 2011 that claimed more than 180 lives.
The Duchess was the first to take to the dance floor after she accepted an invitation from Sam Johnson, an undergraduate who was widely praised for organising a student volunteer army to help in the aftermath of the devastating natural disaster. The Duchess, who is well known fan of the BBC's celebrity ballroom dancing show Strictly Come Dancing, held the student's right hand with hers and they moved at a gentle pace.
After a few moments Her Royal Highness looked over to her husband who was watching from the sidelines and said "Come on darling you've got to dance too".
But it was Lisa Shannon, 57, a psychology student from Christchurch who seized the moment and asked The Prince if he wanted to dance.
Ms Shannon was out of breath after the impromptu dance lesson from The Prince and said: "If you don't ask you don't get, I just saw him standing there looking a bit lonely and I thought I'd ask him to dance."
The royal couple's twirl on the dancefloor came after they visited a shopping area of Christchurch city centre to see how retailers and independent business forced out of their premises by the earthquake have set up home in renovated cargo ship containers. The Re:Start project has seen the large metal boxes brightly painted, fitted with doors and windows and stacked up to create temporary retails spaces.
Shoppers crowed round as Their Royal Highnesses walked along Cashel Street meeting retailers in their new homes. A reminder of the earthquake loomed nearby - a large building being torn down by mechanical equipment. Survivors of the natural disaster had earlier told The Prince and The Duchess their harrowing stories during a reception at Christchurch City Council offices.
Their Royal Highnesses privately met around 20 people who had been badly injured when buildings collapsed during the 6.3 magnitude earthquake which struck at 12.51pm on February 22, last year. Widespread damage resulted especially in central Christchurch and its eastern suburbs as the quake's epicentre was close to the middle of the city and buildings had been weakened by the 2010 quake.
More than half the people killed were in the six-storey Canterbury Television Building, which collapsed and caught fire.
Bev Edwards, 54, a nurse from Christchurch is now a paraplegic in a wheelchair after a cafe roof collapsed on her while she was having lunch with her mother.
Ms Edwards said: "I was in cafeteria deemed to be safe but the building next door fell sideways onto it and the roof came in. "I knew I had broken my back and I was eventually carried out on a door used as a stretcher. The lady at a table next to me was killed and my mother sat opposite me and was able to walk out.
"It's incredibly important The Prince came to meet us, we're not people that died we're here, but there hasn't been a lot of recognition for the seriously injured."
The Prince and The Duchess's visit to Christchurch came on the last day of their Diamond Jubilee tour to mark The Queen's 60-year reign that saw them visit Australia and Papua New Guinea.View Album (10 images)
