NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Democratic leaders said they plan to talk with Governor Bill Haslam about expanding pre-kindergarten classes after the state's education commissioner said he doesn't plan to request funding for an expansion.
Commissioner Kevin Huffman spoke earlier this week during the governor's budget hearings. Haslam has asked state departments to develop plans for a 5 percent cut in spending as a fallback.
The Commercial Appeal reported Huffman said expanding enrollment in schools and inflation will require an additional $2 million in routine cost increases.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner told The Associated Press on Wednesday that pre-K is needed and that he plans to talk to the governor and consider legislation to expand it.
Tennessee's voluntary pre-K program has not been expanded since 2008.
Also Tuesday, Safety Commissioner Bill Gibbons said his priorities are reducing traffic deaths and cutting wait times at drivers service centers.

A leading scientific journal in Pakistan, The Journal of Management & Social Science,* recently published a paper titled "A New Role for the Military: Preventing Enemies from Arising-Reviving an Ancient Approach to Peace," indicating that the military application of the Transcendental Meditation technique has merit. The paper discusses how militaries worldwide could use the Transcendental Meditation® and TM-Sidhi® program, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as a non-religious and scientifically verified way to prevent war and terrorism. When used in a military context, these meditation practices are known as Invincible Defense Technology (IDT).
IDT's causal mechanism is not completely understood. An explanation of the causality of IDT in biological terms was proposed in a study in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality (Walton et al 2005, 17: 339-373). Serotonin, a powerful neurotransmitter, has been shown to produce feelings of happiness, contentment, and even euphoria. Research indicates that low levels of serotonin correlate with aggression, poor emotional moods and violence. The study indicated that when the size of a group of IDT experts changed, serotonin production of people in the nearby community changed correspondingly. Since results were statistically significant, this study offers a plausible neurophysiologic mechanism that may explain reduced aggression and hostility in a whole society.

National Kids Day will be observed on Sunday in communities across the country, and Brooke Hills Park is among the locations holding activities for this celebration of kids and family.
The day itself was created by nonprofit organization KidsPeace, which is aimed at helping to avoid neglect, trauma and crises, in an effort to encourage families to spend more time together.
Spending time as a family is important for all of us, but especially for younger kids in need of guidance and a strong support structure.
Events at Brooke Hills will include the annual cardboard boat race, the Duck Pluck contest, swimming at the park's pool and free refreshments. We're sure there will be lots of fun for everyone in attendance, especially for the kids.
Or, perhaps you would just like to take the time to walk around the park itself and see what else it has to offer.
Even if you are not able to make it to the National Kids Day activities at Brooke Hills, we encourage you all to take the opportunity to spend time with your family, whether you have a picnic, go to the zoo, catch a sporting event or just plan for an activity around the home.

Crobat is one of the fastest non-Uber Pokemon in existence; it loses only to Electrode and Ninjask, and ties with OU kings Jolteon and Aerodactyl. On top of this, its other stats, while not amazing, are far from poor, which enable it to utilize a variety of tactics to beat whatever your opponent fields against it. Crobat can use its respectable Attack stat and decent movepool to whittle down the opponent, make use of Nasty Plot and its moderate Special Attack to sweep, or just take advantage of its good support movepool and moderate bulk to cripple the foe's team. Regardless of what it does, Crobat will successfully fill its role on your team in most cases.
Despite a very usable movepool and blistering Speed, you might be wondering why Crobat isn't solid OU. Quite frankly, Crobat's mediocrity in most stats, lack of coverage, and general inferiority compared to other OU options hold it back. Physical sets love Brave Bird, but wish they had a better secondary STAB and physical movepool; Nasty Plot sweeping sets are solid, but largely inferior to the likes of Infernape and Azelf; and stallbreaking sets tend to have issues with common stall Pokemon, such as Rotom-A. These issues, though individually small, combine to pose a big problem for Crobat that results in it not being as widely used as many of its cult supporters would hope for.
By far Crobat's most effective set, the combination of high Speed, Roost, and Taunt absolutely demolishes stall teams. Opposing defensive Pokemon find themselves not only unable to heal themselves while Crobat tears away at 50% of their health with Super Fang, but also unable to actually hurt Crobat due to its respectable bulk and Roost. Crobat can also serve as a decent check to offensive teams with this set. As it survives the 2HKO from +2 Infernape's Close Combat, it can switch into physically based Infernape and either stall out Close Combat's PP with Roost or use Brave Bird for the KO. Even more surprising is that Crobat isn't OHKOed by Heatran's Fire Blast, which says something about Crobat's general bulk.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Crobat appears to have a poor Special Attack stat, but it is the fastest user of Nasty Plot in the game, and with a Nasty Plot boost under its belt, it can OHKO or 2HKO many common threats. Crobat's special movepool is also varied enough to give it just the coverage it needs. With Hidden Power Fighting, Heat Wave, and Sludge Bomb, Crobat can hit nearly everything in OU for neutral damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Due to its high Speed and passable Attack, Crobat makes a viable user of Choice Band. Its typing allows it to switch in easily on a variety of threats, especially users of common attacks such as Earthquake and Close Combat, and retaliate with a strong, super effective move. Crobat makes a particularly good lead as it can evade the flinch from Fake Out with Inner Focus, and can KO many common leads—such as Infernape, Azelf, and Machamp—with the appropriate move.
Choice Band Crobat's damage output is noticeably inferior to that of other Choice Band users, and even some Choice Scarf users; it lacks the power to obtain many OHKOs. It can, however, deal enough damage to the opponent so that its allies' 2HKOs or 3HKOs become OHKOs. As such, it should focus on wearing down the opponent's team to the point where a teammate can clean up. U-turn is therefore one of Crobat's more useful options, as not only is Crobat one of the fastest existing users of the move, but you can switch in something that can immediately take advantage of the damage and clean up a weakened team.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Crobat has a wide variety of EV spreads it can run, due to the different roles it can fulfill. 144 Speed EVs put Crobat at 365 Speed, which is just enough to outpace +1 Speed Tyranitar. Crobat has no business trying to Speed tie with Aerodactyl or Jolteon, so it can use a spread of 104 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def / 144 Spe for more bulk and a maximally powered Brave Bird.
X-Scissor is a stronger alternative attack against Celebi and other Psychic-types, but Cross Poison is often more useful due to STAB, despite its poor coverage. Confuse Ray, Whirlwind, Rain Dance, and Screech are all usable support options, but there is almost always a better user of these moves out there, and Crobat has more effective tools for supporting the team. Hypnosis is an extremely useful move for putting an opponent's Pokemon to sleep, although it is illegal with Brave Bird, and Brave Bird is by far the more useful option on most sets. Additionally, the low accuracy doesn't help the fact that, even with defensive investment, Crobat cannot afford to miss against a dangerous threat.
Checks and Counters
Zapdos and Rotom-A wall Crobat to high heaven, as do most Rock-, Steel-, and Ground-types, although they hate Nasty Plot Crobat variants. Jolteon and Aerodactyl can also effectively revenge kill Crobat, as it rarely runs maximum Speed. Anything switching in has to be wary of Super Fang, Taunt, and Hypnosis, but the likes of Snorlax and Blissey can generally take on specially offensive sets while Swampert, Skarmory, and Heatran do well against physical attacking sets.
The hardest part of countering Crobat is its unpredictability; you don't know what set it is running until about a turn or two after it is sent out. By then there's a chance that it's already KOed your counter, so it's important to play cautiously when it first appears. Once you determine its set, however, Crobat is relatively easy to play around. Generally, you should take advantage of the fact that it cannot hit very hard outside of Nasty Plot, and that it will go down hard if hit by a move that it doesn't resist.

Highmoon Media Productions presents Bardic Lore: The Fachan.
I turned around, intent on facing my enemy and instead I faced my nightmares. In front of me stood a creature fully a head taller than I, its single, bloodshot eye staring at me with all the hatred in the world. It had a broad and muscled body with a single arm jutting from the center of its chest, and a single, powerful leg, propelling it forth towards me. I can honestly say I hope to never run into a fachan ever again.

The blueprint "is not perfect, but it's something that is on the table to start moving forward and say, 'Look, we face serious challenges, not just today, but over the next decade,'" Heck said after a job fair in his suburban Las Vegas district. A top target of Democrats this November, Heck is certain that seriousness about addressing the federal deficit will win over voters, especially in his state, hit hard by home foreclosures and record unemployment.
In Colorado, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter is determined to use the spending plan crafted by the House Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as a campaign issue.
"It's a winner (for Democrats) because that budget is such a loser," said Perlmutter, a suburban Denver congressman facing a challenge from a well-known name — Joe Coors Jr., scion of the brewing company.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress can't agree on a budget, but there's no disagreement about using Ryan's to highlight an election-year divide.
President Barack Obama has called the GOP budget a backward "radical vision" and "thinly veiled social Darwinism" that would let many people struggle while the rich benefit. Republicans say their plan is a sober approach to dealing with out-of-control government spending and higher taxes in an era that demands fiscal austerity.
The debate underscores the broader dispute between the two parties about the role and size of government.
From town halls to job fairs to meet-and-greets with voters during Congress' two-week recess, Democrats and Republicans focused on the budget in a preview of the seven-month campaign to November. The economy and jobs are voters' priorities, and how the budget debate plays out could prove critical in the fall, with control of the White House, Senate and House at stake.
Obama and likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney have both signaled that the budget plan will be an element in their race.
The House plan would make deep cuts to government programs. Everything from food stamps to transportation is on the chopping block. It calls for shrinking the current six income-tax rate system to just two and lowering the top rate to 25 percent from the current 35 percent.
The most politically dicey element is the change in Medicare, the $500 billion-a-year health insurance program for older people. Both parties are keenly aware that this group votes in high numbers and cares passionately about the program.
Republicans would leave the plan alone for retirees and those nearing retirement. For younger people, Medicare would be reshaped into a voucher-like system in which the government would subsidize people's health care costs. Republicans say that would drive down costs by giving beneficiaries a menu of competing options. Democrats say government payments won't keep up with the rapid inflation of medical costs, leaving many struggling to afford the care.
Heck's district has its share of seniors at retirement communities. The 50-year-old former state senator won his seat in 2010 by just 1,748 votes and faces a strong challenge from the speaker of the Nevada Assembly, John Oceguera. He calls the Ryan plan, passed just two weeks ago, one of the keys to victory.
"The Ryan budget and the Medicare issues are big for people," Oceguera said. "We would like to get information out about how damaging that could be to people's personal lives. It's going to affect a lot of folks."
Heck focused on job creation and the economy during his remarks at the job fair he organized. He didn't mention the House GOP budget, but said he is confident voters will support it when they learn more.
"While folks here may or may not realize it, those types of things directly or indirectly are going to make life better for them," he said. "Certainly we need to draw that connection that, look, as we get our deficit under control and we control our spending in Washington that's going to give more stability and predictability."
Nate Williams, a 22-year-old unemployed electrician who attended Heck's job fair, said he had thought he had heard of Ryan's plan but wanted to hear more about how to create jobs.
"People in Nevada need help from Washington, from someone," he said.
In a swing district in Michigan, Republican Rep. Dan Benishek was greeted at a town hall by a group of seniors holding signs saying "Save Medicare." They pressed the freshman lawmaker about the GOP budget's proposed cuts.
"We'll have a significant change to benefits unless we do something about (Medicare)," Benishek told constituents, while standing by his budget vote.
At a town hall event in New Hampshire, GOP Rep. Charlie Bass faced similarly pointed questions. He told voters some of what's been publicized about the plan has been mischaracterized. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Mo., who defeated 17-term Democratic Rep. Ike Skelton in 2010, also faced questions from constituents about the plan's effect on Medicare.
All three, in seats Democrats would like to win this fall, can expect Democrats to bring up the issue over and over again.
Perlmutter said he's heard from several voters about the Ryan plan. Republicans see his district, split nearly evenly among Republicans, Democrats and independents, as one of their best pick up opportunities in the fall. They've recruited Coors to run against him.
At an event in a grocery store, Perlmutter's constituents showed why both sides feel they can get traction on the budget issue in the fall.
Glen Erfman, a 56-year-old U.S. Postal Service employee from Lakewood, Colo., quizzed his congressman on the budget plan and called it "terrible."
"My main issue with Congress is, they're out to do all they can to cut everything for regular people but not rich people," Erfman said.
Steps away at the same event self-employed 62-year-old Rick Piggott, also from Lakewood, said Democrats needed to give the plan much more serious consideration.
"We need to cut spending — big time. Big time," he said. "But our president doesn't seem to care about cutting anything."

What happened when? The story of my thinking and progression as the Jeff Jones bicycle has evolved is here. Bicycles, discoveries, experiments and the like. I will add to it and fill in the gaps as and when. There's a progression here. Once upon a time there were 26" wheels and then things progressed...
2012 has some new ideas being developed.
This is becoming more of an archive than an 'all the news' section as the blog has pretty much taken over. For all the latest do check my blog. I'll see if I can sort things here but the blog will get priority - well, after serving customers and building and riding bikes.

Hi, I have recently found out that I am pregnant with our second child. My oldest will be 19 months old when the little one is born. My question is, does anyone have tips and advice for making those first few weeks OK when there are two kids to deal with? (I am lucky enough to have my mom-in-law come to help for the first week or two, and although my husband cannot take much more than a day or two off work, he would be supportive). I'm so grateful for all the support, but I just want to know what can I do to prepare, and what are some things I could ask my mom-in-law or husband to do when the baby arrives? What things did you all do to get through those crazy first few weeks? I'd really love to hear ideas & advice from any moms and dads out there!
I should also mention that with my 1st child, I felt like I was caring for him fine when he was born, but it was really hard to take care of myself or even eat or drink enough 'cos I was always trying to sleep instead. I was hungry most of the time but in denial so I could sleep. I am a bit scared of a repeat of the same thing!
Our daughters are 17 months apart, so I know the stress you are feeling. You don't feel like you can possibly have the time to do everything now, let alone when you have two. Somehow, you find a way to get it done.
One thing we thought was helpful was my wife's friends froze a number of meals for us ready to be heated and eaten when baby arrived, and that helped the first couple of weeks enormously.
Another thing I would say is that whenever you get a chance to sleep in those first few weeks, take it. You will feel an overwhelming need to be active and get things done, but the times are few when both of your kids are sleeping. Take advanrtage with a half hour nap... it helps keep you going.
Good luck!
Sleep, sleep, sleep! I agree with everything AnswerDad says. Lean on your friends and family to get as much rest as you can. Remember, you're still healing, too, and have to take care of yourself before you'll be good for anyone else. Also, don't sweat the small stuff; a clean house is not more important than taking care of yourself and your baby.
I had to remind myself to lower my expectations. I felt like supermom with my son. When my daughter came along, it wasn't as easy to get everything done. I had to let the housework slip a little bit. After I did that, things were much easier. I just made a point of enjoying every moment with them that I could.
You do not realize how much a newborn sleeps until they get older and start growing out of their naps. Take advantage of your newborn's napping to catch up on sleep yourself or to take a hot shower!
Take advantage of any help you can get! I just had my 2nd 3 weeks ago and it's been kind of rough so far. I had a c-section, so I was in the hospital for most of our first week. My fiance had 2 days off when I came home, so there was a lot of help then. My mom also gave us a few meals during the first week, but other then that we've been on our own. If you can, I'd suggest asking your mother-in-law and your husband to maintain the housework while they can. I wasn't allowed to drive, vaccum, do laundry, or put dishes away for the first two weeks. My fiance did a decent job of keeping the rest of the house clean, but the laundry and dishes have slipped big time! This week he finally decided that maybe he should wash some things (now that I have the okay to do so again) but it's going to take us probably another week to get caught up! It is okay to let things slide a little, but don't let it get too out of hand because then you just have to do more to get it caught up again later.
Thank you everyone for all the responses. It makes it all feel a bit more feasible. Jnjfischer, you were especially helpful with giving specifics of how you did things and some suggestions for me, thank you so much. Congratulations on your recent 2nd baby, that is so exciting!
I really appreciate everyone's insights.
If anyone has anything they'd like to add, I'd love to hear it - keep the ideas coming!
Congratulations on your new pregnancy! I know exactly how you feel...when my second child was born, my son was only 20 months old. I wondered how I would be able to juggle the responsibilities of 2 AND still find time to shower and cook dinner. Plus, I worried that I wouldn't be able to give my oldest enough attention.
Needless to say, I managed. My advice...for those first few weeks, take advantage of the help people are willing to give you. When someone offers to watch the baby...let them. Your new baby will be happy in anyone's arms and you can then devote some much needed one-on-one time to your oldest. I also tried to involve him in the baby's care as much as possible so that he wouldn't feel left out. This made me feel like I was meeting both of their needs without neglecting either of them.
You will learn to multitask like you have never had to before....and you will do a great job. You will learn that you can successfully feed your newborn while making a last minute pb&J sandwich and you will find that you rely on your spouse more than ever.
The second time around is different because you are not a "new" mommy anymore so you are already a pro at feedings, naptime, changing diapers etc... We had diaper time assembly lines at our house and the kids ate at the same time and napped at the same time to make it easier for me! Don't worry.....you will do fabulous. Enjoy your pregnancy and rest assured that you will survive!
Try to stock up on quick meals that your older child likes. I have 2 kids a husband and a newborn. I am lucky cuase, My sister told me that trick. Don't feel bad if you have to give the kids toast with soup and some cheese or fruit for lunch. as long as they are getting all the food groups they will be fine it is hard about the first month then it gets much easier. The other thing is to figure out what meals your hubby is good at making and stock up on the "dry ingredents" for those items then if he has to cook a few meals in the first 2 weeks he will feel good casue he helped and he knows how to make it. We ate a lot of hamburger and hot dogs on the grill but, hey My newborn is a summer baby so every dinner is some verison of a picnic.. (lol) it always tastes better if someone else cooks it. As far as the eating that is my hardest thing to.. I keep yougurt, cheese sticks, grapes ( I wash and dry and put in a bowl with a lid as soon as I buy them) peanut butter (crackers, are really good too) so then what I do is I grab a hand full of grapes, a cheese stick, and some peanut butter crackers and some water on my way into my bedroom to nap when baby is sleeping. (no garbage) and I ate something before my head hits the pillow...Good Luck!
I just thought to add this about the landrey, I think Purex makes a new thing that it goes in the washer and the dryer it is some kind of sheet. I saw it advertised but I haven't tryed it yet. That might be something to pick up and use for a month just so you don't have the problem with the dirty clothes pilling up. I am going to see if I can find a coupon for them and try them out. To see if they are worth it. I have a feeling they are going to expensive but I am going to check it out.
Stay Happy !

Associated LMHI Member Organization:
Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies in Homeopathy (BCASH), www.bcash-bangladesh.org
Homeopathy in Bangladesh 2013
We are trying to increase our number of members in LMHI, which will be a tremendous opportunity for them to express their opinions about homeopathy. Our government is very supportive of homeopathy. Most of the people of our country are choosing homeopathy over allopathy. A homeopathic ordinance was passed by the government in 1983. A government Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, including 100 beds, a homeopathic research center unit, a production unit and museum, officers' quarters, and boys and girls hostel on the campus, were established in 1989. We have two courses of homeopathy: a five-year Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) course and a four-year Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (DHMS) course through the Bangladesh Homeopathic Board. Graduates of these two programs number 41,300. There are 30 homeopathic manufacturing facilities.
History of Homeopathy in Bangladesh
Since the British period, homeopathy has been spread in the Indian sub-continent. For about 100 years, homeopathy is existing in this sub-continent. Since Bangladesh became independent in 1971, an undertermined number of homeopathic doctors has been rendering homeopathic treatment dedicating themselves to the service of patients.
A Homeopathy Act was passed before the liberation of Bangladesh and the Homeopathy Ordinance was passed in 1983. In 1972, a Homeopathy Board was established. There are more than 41 Homeopathic Medical Colleges in Bangladesh and every year, a lot of homeopathic doctors taking DHMS (Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) and BHMS degree are being engaged in this profession. About 30 - 40 percent of the population in developing countries like Bangladesh take homeopathic treatment.
In memoriam Dr Mahiuddin Ahmed (1946 - 2013)
BCASH Bangladesh sadly announces the death of their respected colleague Dr Mahiuddin Ahmed, Vice-President of the Bangladesh College for Advanced Studies in Homeopathy who passed away on 24 October 2013 at the age of 67.

Business Isn't Always Business
Havana's cigar festival brings repite from the economic downturn with lots of new cigars
From the Print Edition:
Jay-Z, May/June 2009
Sitting in Havana, smoking a cigar and watching the world go by can quickly make you forget that there's a lot of business involved in the handful of leaves rolled up as the Habano in your hand. Not only is there a lot of money at stake (about $390 million last year in cigar exports for Cuba, to be exact), but there's a lot of product development involved, driven by both market concerns and quality.
The XI Festival Habano, held in late February in Havana, showcased both factors for Habanos S.A., the global marketing and distribution company for Cuban cigars. The cigar gathering began with a purely market-driven launch of four new sizes of Montecristo; it ended with an amazing debut of a high-quality, supercharged Cohiba Siglo VI. Naturally, I was much more impressed with the latter than the former.
The Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva is one of the greatest young cigars I have ever smoked. I tried it three times at the end of February in Havana, including during the gala dinner that closed the festival, and I was speechless each time. I was in heaven the moment I cut the cigar and took a draw. Even cold, it tasted so good, with a fresh herb, nut and coffee bean character. Once on fire, the cigar delivered spice, coffee, milk chocolate, floral notes, cedar . . . the flavors kept changing every moment. And the finish was long, clean and fresh. It begged you to smoke it. And I did.
The cañonazo—the name factory workers use to describe the size of the Siglo VI Gran Reserva—measures 52 ring gauge by 5 7/8 inches long, and scored very highly in my non-blind system, but because the cigar won't be released until later this year, the magazine can't rate it right now. It is made with five-year-old tobacco and comes in numbered black lacquered boxes of 15 smokes. Only 5,000 boxes (75,000 cigars) were produced at El Laguito factory, according to Habanos. (I originally thought the Gran Reserva was made at the Partagas factory.) The suggested retail price is about $1,000 a box, depending on the market.
This is the first Gran Reserva ever released in Cuba. In the past, two Reservas were made, both of which used three-year-old tobacco at the time they were rolled: the Montecristo No. 4 Reserva (released in 2007) and the Partagas Serie D No. 4 Reserva (launched in 2005). Both were limited-edition cigars of 5,000 boxes and made from one tobacco harvest, the Serie D from the 2000 harvest and the Monte No. 4 from 2003.
I tried both Reservas in February, and they smoked very, very well. The Serie D delivered fresh tea and honey flavors with hints of dried flowers on the nose that followed through to a full and rich palate with an almond and spice character. It's long and very rich, although it still needs time to come together with a bit more box age. I rated it 93 points, non-blind. The Monte No. 4 Reserva was very spicy with an herbal and light pepper character. I remember being slightly underwhelmed with the smoke when it was first released, but I find it outstanding now—91 points, un-blind.
Cuba's Reserva line is a great success, just like the Edición Limitadas that began in 2000. The Limitadas are limited-production cigars, with about 10,000 boxes of each model. They are made with special three-year-old wrapper from the top of the plant. I have lost count, but the Limitadas average about three new cigars per year. This year's ELs are expected to be the Bolivar Petit Belicoso (52 ring gauge by 4 7/8 inches), H. Upmann Magnum 48 (48 by 4 1/3 inches) and a Romeo y Julieta Duke (54 by 4 7/8 inches). The latter is a new shape, or vitola, for Cuba. The cigars were scheduled to be announced this April, and released on the market later.
Annual Edicion Regionales are also gaining popularity in the market. These are cigars made for particular markets over a two-year period, with a minimum order of 600 boxes of 25 cigars per year. The Cuban cigar agent who orders the cigar decides on the vitola, as well as the blend—in theory. I have had mixed experiences with regional cigars. Some are stylish and flavorful, but others seem dull.
Granted, I have had some great regional smokes recently. I have been really enjoying the Edmundo Dantes Conde 109 (50 ring gauge by 7 1/4 inch), made for Mexico, and the Ramon Allones Grandes (49 ring by 7 inches), produced for Spain. Both have loads of flavor and character; they are serious smokes. The latter was introduced last year and the former in 2007.
Many regional editions, however, are like the recently released cigar for the Caribbean—the Juan Lopez Short Torpedo. It's a pleasant smoke, but not very interesting. I smoked the Short Torpedo against a Cuaba Pyramid Limited Edition 2008 one afternoon in the courtyard of the Hotel Conde de Villanueva in Old Havana. The Cuaba absolutely crushed the Juan Lopez. It had so much more flavor and richness, with coffee, tobacco and nut character. If you get a chance, smoke one of the Cuabas. I would score it 93 points, un-blind.

Ample reasons to count our blessings
It's the Christmas season now. It started on Black Friday, that day after Thanksgiving when stores opened their doors early to accommodate shoppers in search of marked down prices on this year's most popular gifts. Next came Small Business Saturday, a movement that encouraged holiday shoppers to patronize businesses that are small and local. Then there was Cyber Monday, a marketing term for the Monday after Black Friday created by companies to persuade people to shop online. And now charities are starting what they hope will become a national day for giving that will join the holiday lexicon: Giving Tuesday.
Christmas shopping long has been the busiest time of year for merchants. Now, consumer spending is designated toward specific goods and services. Aside from Giving Tuesday, the true meaning of Christmas easily can be lost.

If we can ban South Africa from the OGs for apartheid, why can't we ban nations that allow bullfighting? What are there, three nations? Spain, Mexico, maybe Colombia or Venezuela?
I know this could become a case of tit for tat, but whatever the US does wrong is not as bad as bullfighting. People might say that the US allows the death penalty. Therefore ban them from the OGs. Or Saudi Arabia does not extend full rights to women, so ban them. Maybe valid points.
But let's start with bullfighting. How do we allow nations that allow this to participate in the OGs?

And yet when I go to wholesale plumbing houses, the plumbers joke about American Standard and why they don't install them.AS is generally cheap in price but fairly high in quality.
Too funny.
I do sell them sometimes. They make a Cadet 3 with 10" rough.
I do sell all the brands. Just some more than others.
I think the Pro model is inspected a bit better than the home center version.

Austin >Beauty > Amy Evers At Russ & Co Salon
1805 West Ave, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.282500 -97.745745
Call to schedule your appointment
Neighborhoods: Downtown
SHE HAS MOVED AND I FOUND HER!!!!!! – I can not tell you how excited I am that I found my hairstylist!!!
she is at Russ & Company Salon and OMG my hair has never been happier!
Love her cuts, and I always get my highlites from her!
I missed her last semester, but now I have her again! YAY!
guys' haircuts – Amy will cut it exactly the way you want it, and she's nice as hell. Its more than i like to spend but you get a neck rub and your hair washed with the cut. If you've ever had a bad haircut, go here and it won't happen again.
Kudos, Applause, Huzzahs (and other high praise) for the Queen of Style! – I don't want to be nasty, but I have to think that miss Violetlily is in need of mood stabilizing medication (on a downturn when she wrote her review!). This Salon, it's sylistic diva, and all it has to offer is 100% fabulous. I have never ever had a bad cut, bad service, or even a bad cup of coffee there! The barber's chairs are tres chic, the location couldn't be better, and to top it off, while Amy cuts my hair I have a wonderul view of her colleague Adam. It's a trifecta! ;)
Wonderful Haircut, Nice Ambiance, Gotta Love It!!! – I used to go to a salon in North Austin that was well known for catering to its clients' whims...what it ended up being was unbearably stuffy. I wanted to find a salon and stylist who could make me feel relaxed and who had the skills to transform a tired looking me into something fabulous. Cue the trumpet...4001 Duval is a beautiful, fun, and funky little place. You've probably driven past it a million times and never noticed it. I loved my first cut with Amy and have been going back to her ever since...she has great instincts and style. So far, I have done a radical cut, color, an updo or two, and some waxing (shhhh, don't tell anyone I wax!) and I have never been disappointed with the results. I am torn because I can't rate the place or the stylist highly enough, but at the same time - I really don't want ya'll to find my secret place! Alas, I wont be selfish - I know Amy has many mouths to feed. Enjoy!
Finally, a woman who cuts a man's hair better than your local barber! – I have to say, I have long been a patron of local barber shops...there is something to be said for the timelessness of engaging in male bonding and watching sports while having your hair buzzed. HOWEVER, if you want an acutal cut, style, or *gasp* color - this is the place to go. The salon is cool and relaxing and Amy is skilled, friendly, and hysterically funny (not bad ont he eyes, either!). This may become another of my favorite Austin finds. The haircut I got was fantastic. I highly recommend Amy and the Salon.
Cool, funky, eclectic, and hip!..Oh, and a fabu cut! – I checked out 4001 Salon because it is down the road from the Hyde Park Bar and Grill and after some good food I decided I would like a good cut and color! I randomly went to Amy and am soooooooo happy that I did! She is awesome! I have NO idea what that other person was talking about when they said they didn't like their cut because mine was one of the best I have ever gotten. On top of that, the Salon itself is beautiful and relaxed and Amy is extremely easy to get along with. I am going back and plan to tell all of my friends so...if you want an appointment with Amy, 'better hurry now before she's constantly booked!
worst haircut EVER – After reading all the good reviews about Amy I decided I would make an appointment there. I moved to Austin a couple years ago and still have not found a great hais stylist. And now I can say that I still havent. While the salon is cute and the massage I got was nice... the haircut was aweful. Nothing like I wanted.... I went there in order to get a not so great hair cut fixed. Well, it is worse now!!! I wasnt happy with it at first and I thought I would give it a few days before writing this review. Its been almost a week now and I still HATE it. So, my advice... keep looking for a different hair stylist!
You can't please everybody, and some people just aren't happy with anything and try to spoil it for the rest of us!!! Amy really listens and actually intuitively gets the essence of who you are and channels that "je ne said quoi" into her supreme technical and artistic ability to enhance one's essence. Amy knows style and personality...She dares you to go that extra leap. If you don't have anything to work with you might not like her. I LOVE her!!! She is AMAZING!!!!!
Love Her! – I went to see Amy today as she was reccomended by a friend. Not only did she do a great job with my highlights and haircut but she was so much fun to spend time with. The salon is so charming with great old barbers chairs and a tin ceiling. I decided to have my eyebrows waxed too and Amy was great, we ended up laughing and giggling like we have known each other forever. I agree with the other client about the massage...a perfect way to start! I am actually looking forward to having roots so I can go back again.
Great hairstylist! – My cousin recommended that I go to Amy Evers because she loved her hair after visiting her, so I thought I would try her too! She gave me exactly the cut I wanted and I was very pleased when I left, something that doesn't happen very often. I've gotten an updo from Amy twice now and have loved both of them. She is very friendly and easy to talk to and very good at what she does. The salon is quaint and clean, and it's an Aveda concept salon so your hair smells wonderful and you get a scalp massage before your haircut :) You can't beat that!
Not as great as other say – I was looking forward to my appointment with Amy after reading all her great reviews...despite the fact that I had a fantastic hair cut from another stylist at the 4001 Salon 9 months earlier (but forgot his name and thought I'd try Amy.) I am very disappointed with my hair cut and felt like she blindly cut it without much thought or consideration. Had I not left town for a couple of weeks the day after my cut I would have marched back in and asked her to make some changes. Instead I had to opt to pay someone else, who said it looked like Amy was a student, or not very experienced. It's a great little salon and I'd go back to the man, whose name I can't recall, but I will not spend another $50 dollars to give Amy a second chance.

Well gee whiz Mr. Chabin. Being surrounded by over 300,000,000 Arabs intent, for the most part, on wiping your tiny nation state off the face of the earth would tend to make one a "hard-liner," don´t you think?

Chancellor Block Urges UCLA Community to Assist Haiti Relief Efforts
Statement from UCLA Chancellor Gene Block.
Published: Friday, January 15, 2010
Statement from UCLA Chancellor Gene Block:
I was deeply shocked and saddened by the news of the tragic 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti yesterday. This major catastrophe has caused massive destruction and almost demolished the capital city. The death toll may reach 100,000. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected, certainly the people of Haiti and those here in the U.S. who have friends and family there.
The U.S. State Department has set up a toll-free telephone number (1-888-407-4747) for Americans seeking information about individuals in Haiti.
President Obama has promised an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort. I encourage you to lend any assistance you can. I know that UCLA is a very giving community, and it is at times like this when people need our help the most.
Below is a list of some charities that are accepting donations for earthquake relief.
American Red Cross, http://www.redcross.org/, 800-RED-CROSS
CARE, http://www.care.org/, 800-521-CARE
Catholic Relief Services, http://crs.org, 800-736-3467

Spilling down from the pine-covered heights of Mt. Carmel, Haifa is a city with a vertiginous setting that has led to comparisons with San Francisco. The most striking landmark on the mountainside is the gleaming golden dome of the Baha'i Shrine, set amid utterly beautiful garden terraces. The city is the world center for the Baha'i faith, and its members provide informative walking tours of the flower-edged 100-acre spot, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the top of the hill you'll find some small but interesting museums, the larger hotels, and two major universities. At the bottom is the lovingly restored German Colony, a perfect area for strolling.
Israel's largest port and third-largest city, Haifa was ruled for four centuries by the Ottomans and gradually spread its tendrils up the mountainside into a cosmopolitan city whose port served the entire Middle East. The climate is gentle, the beaches beautiful, and the locals friendly.
You won't see the religious garb of Jerusalem or the tattoos and piercings of Tel Aviv in this diverse but fairly conservative city. In fact, you can't always tell at a glance who is part of an Arab or Jewish Israeli family, or if someone is a more recent immigrant from the former Soviet Union.
