Our IFS Chevy gets an X-Pak
One of the first mods we make to our rigs very often involves a suspension lift and a set of larger, more aggressive tires. This combination gives us more ground clearance, better approach and departure angles, and improved traction. And, of course, the result makes our rigs look better.
RCD Suspension and Mickey Thompson Performance Tires have announced a new cross-promotion that they call the Extreme Makeover for Trucks, which features kits called X-Paks. Each X-Pak offers packaged wheels, tires and suspension components to consumers and dealers. The benefits of this deal are twofold: Simplicity in ordering and substantial dollar savings.
We wanted to experience the X-Pak for ourselves so we ordered a kit for our '99 Chevy Tahoe. With the included RCD 6-inch suspension system, we had our choice of either 33- or 35-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTX or Baja Claw tires. Wheel choices included either M/T Classic II or M/T Classic Lock wheels. We chose the 35-inch MTX radials and M/T Classic Lock wheels. It was as easy as that. Street price of the kit is $2,929. Purchased separately, the lift, tires and wheels would have cost $3,130, for a savings on this kit of $201.
We had all of the components shipped to Attitude Performance in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and then we hung out while the crew at Attitude transformed our Tahoe from a boring stocker to a more capable attention-getter. RCD recommends that a professional mechanic install this kit. Special tools are required for the safe removal and installation of the ball joints, tie rods and torsion bars. What follows will give you an overview of some of the parts and steps that went in to our Tahoe's 10-hour makeover.
The Lowdown on the Lift Kit
When RCD Suspension introduced this 6-inch suspension system in October 2001, it was unique in that it was the first subframe-and-spindle system on the market for the "old-body-style" six-lug Chevy/GMC pickup, Suburban and four-door Tahoes and Yukons. The benefits of this system include fewer frame modifications and utilization of the factory steering system components. The kit comes with a new lower subframe, CNC-machined replacement steering knuckles, front differential relocation brackets, billet steel antiroll-bar links, extended stainless-steel braided front brake lines, Bilstein 5100 Series shocks, rear lift blocks and all required hardware.

Web hosting has diversified in the last five years, so much so that many companies are unsure of how best to take advantage of the services offered. While you may still be using a shared hosting provider for your Web site, it is worth knowing about one of the most rapidly-growing types of server hosting on the market: VPS hosting.
VPS stands for "virtual private server," but before delving into that term, it's important to understand the basics of what is known as a "virtual server." Simply put, a virtual server is just like the server your Web host uses locally, but it's located somewhere else. Data is stored on a virtual server in the form of a virtual machine (VM), and this VM works just like the server you may have located down the hall. Conceptually, all that has changed with a VM is its location.
There are several advantages to these virtual servers as opposed to local ones, the first being that you no longer have to maintain your server – the owner of the virtual server will be responsible for that. Secondly, these virtual servers can be "carved up" into more than one virtual machine, meaning that you can have multiple VMs on a single server or share your server with the data from other companies. These VMs will not interact with each other or even "see" each other, despite the fact that they share the same server, and your piece of the overall server is said to be a "virtual private server" because only you and those admins who have proper permission can access it.
Another very similar form of hosting is what is known as VDS hosting. Like VPS hosting, your data is placed onto a VM with partitioned data from other companies. In the case of VDS hosting, however, an administrative layer known as a "hypervisor" sits above the VMs and manages their use of overall server resources. While a VDS or VPS hosting solution provides a situation in which your data is walled off from that of others on the server, all users are still bound by the finite amount of resources available to the system. The job of the hypervisor, in the case of a VDS hosting solution, is to monitor resource usage and to prevent bottlenecks in performance from occurring.
There are several reasons why you may want to consider a switch from a shared web hosting to a VPS hosting option or a VDS solution. The first is a need to manage multiple Web sites. With a shared hosting provider, the options to manage and update sites on a regular basis are limited, just like your bandwidth and storage space. With a VPS, you can have access to a far greater amount of space, as well as to multiple VMs if you want to host each Web site using a different OS or give each one different permissions.
Users who want to set up their own small web hosting company can also benefit from VPS hosting, through what is known as Reseller VPS hosting. In reseller hosting, you can buy a portion of the server as well as the ability to host multiple websites, usually facilitated through the use of a hosting control panel like Plesk or cPanel, and a billing platform like Plesk Billing or WHMCS. You can then slice and dice your VPS account into multiple shared web hosting accounts, which you can sell to the public. Of course, the maintenance for the server will lie in the hands of the VPS Hosting provider, allowing you to focus solely on what you do best rather than worrying about upgrades, patches, and repairs.
A VPS or VDS hosting solution offers a number of direct, immediate benefits over shared web hosting or dedicated hosting. First, both allow a variety of customization options to clients, such as the ability to choose the OS they would like to run. In addition, privacy is always assured on these kinds of systems; since other servers cannot even "see" the VMs around them, much less access their data. Add to that a larger measure of control over the way the server operates – most of the functions of a VM are in the hands of the user, not the server host – and the benefits are apparent.
Of course, cost is also a factor, and you'll be pleased to know that cost is one of the biggest benefits of VDS and VPS hosting packages. With multiple customers to bear the cost, even increased performance, security, and control will often come at a lower price than shared hosting, giving you a significant cost advantage.

Marywood University is one of several universities across the US participating in the National String Project Consortium (NSPC). Approximately 80 students enroll in Marywood's String Project each year. The NSPC is dedicated to increasing the number of children playing stringed instruments, and addressing the critical shortage of string teachers in the US. The NSPC is affiliated with businesses, foundations, professional music organizations, and individuals who support these goals.
Established in 2002, Marywood University's String Project is an after-school, pre-collegiate string program for students ages 5-18. Students take small-group lessons in violin, viola, cello and double bass, participate in orchestra and perform in concerts. String Project participants are divided into three levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced, based on student playing experience. Students are welcome to enter the program at all stages. Marywood string faculty teach the classes and ensembles with a team of undergraduate string and education majors working alongside. In this way the String Project also serves as a teaching and pedagogical lab experience for University students.
Classes begin the week of September 9, 2013. To register, fill out the online registration form. You'll also need to complete the documents on the Important Forms page, and mail them in with your payment.

Center for Language Studies
Program Overview
The CLS Japanese program is acknowledged as one of the most challenging and rewarding programs in the country. The Japanese faculty is composed of professional language teachers who provide individualized instruction and personal attention in their teaching. Combining advanced teaching methods with excellent instructional materials, the CLS Japanese program offers the best of all worlds in teaching methods and models for emulation. The CLS Japanese program is excellent preparation for individuals interested in work or study abroad.
The CLS program also recognizes the importance of language in the context of culture. Rather than artificially separating the two, the CLS devotes four hours of class time each week to placing language study in a larger social, cultural, and historical context. This culture/area studies component is designed to promote interest in and facilitate the learning of Japanese language and civilization. The cultural/area studies component of the Japanese program includes an introduction to Origami, martial arts demonstrations, documentaries, lectures, field trips, and class discussions on selected topics.
9-Week Language Program June 11 - August 12
4.5-Week Language Program (1st half) June 11 - July 13
4.5-Week Language Program (2nd half) July 13 - August 12
Instruction takes place over nine or four and a half weeks, for twenty three hours a week. The summer session schedule typical follows this pattern: the first hour consists of warm-up and review, the second and third hours focus on grammar and vocabulary activation, and the fourth hour emphasizes discussion and mastering conversational patterns. The first hour after lunch focuses on grammar drills, while the last hour is devoted to the area studies/cultural component. One night a week is devoted to a video presentation/discussion session. The schedule is arranged to provide an alternation of native Japanese and American instructional voices, and a variety of Japanese voices on audio tapes and video tapes. Students are graded on their homework assignments, the dialogues they prepare for class presentation, compositions based on the culture presentations, quizzes after each lesson of the book, and both an oral and written mid-term and final examination. Individual tutorial sessions, audio tape, and computer lab exercises are available for independent work after class.
First-Year Japanese
100A-105A. Elementary Japanese and Area Studies I, II (six semester credit hours each). The first-year course provides a solid foundation in basic Japanese. Students learn the two phonetic alphabets-- Hiragana and Katakana--as well as approximately 150 Chinese characters (Kanji) and the basic Japanese grammatical patterns. Through texts and supplementary materials, the course offers thorough instruction and rigorous training in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Practice in the language laboratory and individualized study sessions outside the classroom supplement the formal instruction. A cultural component is interspersed with the daily language studies.
Second-Year Japanese
110A-115A. Intermediate Japanese and Area Studies I, II (six semester credit hours each). The second-year course covers the basic patterns of Japanese and introduces approximately 170 Kanji characters. Classes and many cultural lectures are conducted in Japanese to stress training in comprehension (both reading and aural), speaking, and composition. Special emphasis is placed upon the development of free conversational skills.
Third-Year Japanese
200A,205A. Advanced Japanese I, II (six semester credit hours each). Third-year Japanese continues to develop more complicated and enhanced communicative abilities in all four language skills. Students develop the awareness of different styles and levels of speech, such as written and spoken styles, formal and informal speech, men's and women's speech, and especially Keigo, so that they can communicate appropriately in both written and spoken forms of the language. In addition, the ability to read and write about more complicated ideas and the expansion of knowledge of Kanji and vocabulary are also emphasized. The course uses selected literary works that vary from year to year.
Fourth-Year Japanese
220A,225A. Fourth-Year Japanese I, II (six semester credit hours each). This course develops advanced skills in both spoken and written Japanese. Sophisticated writing skills are cultivated through frequent composition assignments. Student presentations and class discussions train students to express complex thoughts orally in Japanese. Reading materials cover a wide range of cultural and social issues. In addition, a variety of materials (TV programs, newspapers, audiotapes, videos, and Internet resources) are used. The course is conducted almost exclusively in Japanese. The fourth-year course is designed for students who have completed six semesters of formal training in Japanese (or its equivalent).
Comprehensive Fees (including tuition, single room, and weekly meal plan of lunch and dinner):
$5,416.00 (9-week session)
$2,736.00 (4.5-week session)
*The summer language program scholarship is guaranteed to all applicants accepted by April 22, 2005. Please call Pat Zody at 608-363-2277 for more information. (In the event that a granting organization requires CLS to reduce tuition for a student, then the summer language program scholarship is no longer applicable.)

Planned Parenthood Calls on Congress to Pass Community Health Care Workers Act
Director of Government Relations Jackie Payne
Washington, DC Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) applauds the introduction of the Community Health Care Workers Act by Representative Hilda Solis. As the nations leading advocate and provider of reproductive health services, Planned Parenthood supports the Community Health Care Workers Act, which will increase access to health care and prevention services in underserved communities across the country.
PPFA Director of Government Relations Jackie Payne issued the following statement about the bill's introduction:
The Community Health Care Workers Act will dramatically improve health care delivery in underserved communities that lack access to health care because of informational, language and cultural barriers by supporting initiatives that deliver health care, information and services directly to those who need them.
As Americas leading reproductive health care advocate and provider, Planned Parenthood knows firsthand that community interaction and commonsense prevention measures are essential tools for addressing health care inequalities.
We know firsthand because Planned Parenthood's promotores program trains Latino women and men to educate their communities by sharing information about prevention, healthy behaviors and the health services provided by Planned Parenthood with their families, friends, and neighbors.
Planned Parenthood created our promotores program nearly 20 years ago in South Texas in migrant farm worker communities, to help women, men, and teens access culturally and linguistically appropriate information and health care. Today, our promotores programs help us to provide health care and information in 25 communities nationwide.
For making access to health care a priority with the introduction of this act, Planned Parenthood applauds Representative Solis and co-sponsors Representatives Grijalva, Lee, and Wynn.

Due to time and field constraints, tournament rules allow for ties in pool play.
Roseville looked like it might steal a one-run win. The Tigers grabbed the early lead with a solo homer in the first inning. The suburban Sacramento school made the slim lead stand up until Reed managed its only run of the contest with a score in the top of the fifth frame.
Britni Greininger walked for the Raiders. Her pinch runner, Chelsea Cummings, scored after a double by Lindsay Yearman and a passed ball.
Jackie Sertic worked all six innings of the shortened tournament game. She struck out two without issuing a walk and limiting Roseville to five hits.
Reed's second game Friday was a different story. El Camino did post a first-inning run against Reed, like Roseville, and the Eagles did not score again, like Roseville. But Reed had much more offense. The Raiders scored in four of their five offensive frames, gradually pulling away for the five-run win.
Reed knotted the game at a run apiece when it scored in the bottom of the first. Cassy Walsh singled and scored.
In the RHS third, Yearman was hit by a pitch and came around to score following a Tyler Sumpter single and an Eagle errant relay throw.
The Raiders' fourth saw Cummings get down a bunt single and race around the bases after a stolen base and a Laura Frost single.
In the fifth, Reed proceeded to put up a three spot. Leighton Lee walked, Denaya Thompson singled and Mary Dettling singled, saturating the sacks with Raiders. Amanda Leighton and Cummings drew free passes to force in two runs and Frost collected an RBI groundout, accounting for the third run.
Megan Dettling worked all six innings in the circle for Reed. She struck out seven and did not give up a walk to an El Camino hitter, while allowing only two Eagles hits.
Reed will play Casa Roble of Orangevale, Calif. Saturday at 3:15 p.m. and a second opponent, yet to be identified, immediately following at 5 p.m.
Spanish Springs is also playing in the three-day tournament in Sacramento. After winning its first two games in pool play Thursday, the SSHS gang was hung with a 4-2 defeat by Del Oro of Loomis, Calif.
The Cougars gave up three costly unearned runs in the loss but further details were unavailable by press time.

Just got an email notification from Amazon that my BDs of the UK version of Season 2 have shipped and that their estimated delivery date is the day after tomorrow, 2/9. I can hardly wait! I have been rationing when I watch each or the PBS episodes so I have watched only the first 3 episodes, 4 hours. I probably will start from the beginning when I get the BDs, though. Will report whether the Christmas Special is included in this set, as represented by the PBS site.

In my opinion yes, I am entitiled to my opinion just as much as you, Mark, and others are. Yes, in my opinion it is against forum rules.
I never put value on injuring another person, just like if your kid was injured or ridiculed, or harrassed you would want someone being rewarded for doing so.
Just put yourself in someone's shoes. That is why their are rules for people who can't use reason and common sense.
Now don't go attacking me, go back to the discussion at hand, either the death of the little boy in the septic tank or why we need and have to need septics.

Cons – continual cost cutting measures with head count reductions happening for the past 3 years. All happening in December.
Advice to Senior Management – Needs to communicate more effectively.
Internal memo congratulated and thanked the teams for making Q2 a success. We made the numbers for Wall Street and received our Bonus. The next line said that we should expect cost cutting measures in Q3 and Q4 (i.e. head count reductions)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Sagebrush Redux

Leader of new Sagebrush Rebellion argues for local control of public land
By Sally Mauk
Last week we aired an interview with UM forestry professor Martin Nie, about the resurgence of a western movement to get federal lands turned over to state and local governments - and why he thinks that's a bad idea. In this feature interview, News Director Sally Mauk talks with one of the leaders of the new Sagebrush Rebellion - Utah state representative, and CEO of the American Lands Council, Ken Ivory - about why he thinks state ownership of federal lands is a good idea.
Ivory authored the Utah Transfer of Public Lands Act, which calls for the federal government to hand over management of federal land in Utah to that state by next year.

- Your fellow filmmakers are an international creative community who work together to help each other realize their goals.
Independence is the key word in filmmaking. It means having a personal vision. It means having choices in your career – whether that's working for a company or being on your own – or both. It means being able to do what you love for life.
As an SVA undergrad, you can specialize in Directing, Screenwriting, Cinematography, Editing or Sound. You can create a body of work that rivals most graduate schools. Our immersive program has many special features designed to educate you better and faster – like courses which are taught in collaboration by writers and directors, and an integrated curriculum which means you develop work in writing classes, fine-tune it with professional actors in directing, prepare and shoot it in production, and edit in post-production.
While you get a solid start in your specialty, you also gain knowledge in all aspects of filmmaking. The essential experience of SVA Film is collaborative and your teachers and classmates quickly become your partners in creativity. All of our faculty do what they teach –actively contending in today's high tech media marketplace. The relationships you form with your mentors now mean you are already connected to the film industry. When our teachers need to fill a slot on the set or in the studio – who better than the people they have trained themselves? Our students intern at the top production and post-production companies, among others, and are often working before they graduate.
Because your education isn't just academic but hands-on right from the beginning, you learn early what you love and what you're good at. You share your skills working on your classmates' films. Bonds are formed during the intense days and nights of shooting that not only contribute to fine work during school but to career opportunities after graduation.
Film and Television are New York's fastest growing industries -- a $5 billion business that employs over 100,000 workers. Five commercial studios have committed to the new development at the Brooklyn Navy Yards alone – adding an estimated 2,000 jobs in the next year. * The reason for this explosive growth is the talent pool – New York is the place to find the right people with right skills. SVA has long contributed to the city's artistic resources.
SVA is the country's largest independent art school which gives you many advantages as a budding filmmaker. You're in an atmosphere with a rich tradition of innovation and originality. You're surrounded by the best image-makers in media. You're part of the art and idea capital of the world.
At SVA Film and Animation, "independent" is not just a trendy pre-fix for "filmmaker. " It's the creative DNA that makes SVA artists different. We're not just about getting a job, but having a life. A life in which you can keep making the work you love.

Neighborhoods: Ellicott City
don't even bother. – Dropped by with my family of 4 looking forward to a nice evening dinner on the patio since we had heard great things about the small plates, etc. WORST. SERVICE. EVER. The hostesses were completely disinterested and aloof and NO server showed up to even say hello for we counted at least 15 minutes. unacceptable. I asked the hostess who our server was and she had a blank stare. so we left. will never be coming back here again. and you shouldn't either.
Americanized tapas - what a concept!! – LeeLynn's is a little difficult to find, but it is worth the effort. Tucked away behind Rte 29 and Rte 100, and located opposite a liquor store, it is easy to underestimate the culinary experience available inside its doors. So far, my wife and I have not had an average dish. They have all been delicious, imaginative and not your standard fare. The most interesting are the "little plates" - tapas-style delights such as home made potato chips, chicken satay, and others too numerous to list. Two or three of these plates are plenty for a couple to split and feel very satisfied. Salads are terrific, too. No tasteless iceberg in these - very tasty greenery and delicious steak, or chicken or cold cuts adorn these orders. And don't forget to try the cream of crab soup - my wife made us go back the next night after our first visit just to order that soup again. You can even get a great sandwich if you are looking for more casual fare. My wife ordered a rueben that was one of the night's specials that was as good as many you'd find in an authentic NYC deli. The only negative I can think of is that sometimes you have to wait for a table - highly recommended.

Charleston's loveliest historic mansion was made for romance. – The Scene
One of Charleston's most famous inns, this property overlooks White Point Gardens in the heart of the affluent South of Broad neighborhood. Completed in 1892, the Queen Anne mansion was a wedding gift from a wealthy Charleston businessman to his daughter. The inn bears a striking resemblance to a massive three-tiered wedding cake, which makes it a popular tourist photo-op. But guests are sheltered from the flashbulbs by a lush garden and a sprawling wraparound porch--an ideal spot for taking in the view of Charleston Harbor.
The Details
The inn is popular with honeymooners, and for good reason: The nine guest rooms are lavishly decorated with period antiques and cozy canopy beds, and several have working fireplaces and private balconies. Common areas feature antique Persian rugs and Tiffany stained-glass windows. Continental breakfast is served in the mornings and high tea every afternoon.
Reservation issues – To be fair, we were never able to stay at Two Meeting Street Inn, so the accommodations may be very nice. Due to errors with their web reservation system, we were informed that we had a room when none were available. Despite being told a room was reserved for us and recieving a confirmation email from the Inn Keeper, when re-confirming by telephone I was told that they had made an error and that we would not have a room. The Inn Keeper (Karen) admitted that it had been her assistant's error and apologized, but she refused to even attempt to find us other accommodations. I believe that this is a poor reflection on the Inn and those making reservations via the web should be aware.

3.1 Phillip Lim

3.1 Phillip Lim - New York Spring 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Lim took on the Spanish Moors for his spring collection. Geometric shapes and fringe rocked the runway behind a backdrop of impressive Moorish archways. But this was no theme park ride. The organic zipper dresses were a welcome new coutureish direction for Lim's contemporary label. Soft prints, ruffles, metallics and lots of pinks were sweet and accented superbly by fierce rosette Louboutins and polka dot bags. "Phillip has a way of making couture handmade clothes with eccentricity and making them prêt a porter," said friend and follower Irina Lazareanu.

NOT GOOD. Went here with a Groupon (given to us as a gift) and we supposedly got $58 of food for $29 I think what we actually got was $15 worth of food. The service was terrible and the inside of this place is just old and gross. No music playing - it sounds like a dining hall in there. Their 'Groupon' menu was a joke and they only had one vegetarian dish. We were also treated poorly once our waitress found out we had a Groupon. Our chips were stale and the waitress put the chip bowl on top of the salsa... when she removed it there was salsa on the bottom of the chip bowl... and that's just unsanitary and gross. There are 30 other places nearby with better Mexican food. I see absolutely no reason to ever go here again......We didn't even take leftovers home.
Worst Mexican Food Ever. Taco Bell is better. – I don't know if anyone else noticed this? But this place does not serve real Mexican food. It is actually the worst Mexican food I have had in my life, and tastes like any random person's first time attempt to make Mexican food. On top of that - it is ridiculously over priced for no good reason. The meat and everything else was dry and tasteless in their dishes, the rice tasted like Ponderous buffet rice, bland sauces, the portions are no bigger if not smaller than most Mexican restaurants - how do you mess up a burrito and enchiladas? This was literally up in the top 10 for worst food I have ever eaten in my life and my date agreed. The atmosphere is also really strange, not private at all, like you are eating with the table next to you. The only thing I will give this place is their service was good - but man, leave Mexican cooking to the real restaurants that know how to do it - I have had better food at TACO BELL!!!
Great Serivice Poor Quality – I've recently went to Luchitas hoping it would be a great Mexican food. However, I was sorely disappointed in the quality of food. The food I ordered had very little taste. You would think Mexican food would have alot of spices too it but it didn't. Service was great and people were friendly. Most people don't just go for the atmosphere. They ame for great food. Try Mariachi' or some other place. Luchitas is like a fast food Mexican restaurant.
Best Mexican Food in Cleveland – I can't believe some of the reviews. I have been going to Luchita's for 20 years. It's where I always ask to go to on my birthday. Great food and margarita's. The best salsa and red enchilada sauce around. Helpful hints, order the guacomole picado and ask for your margarita to be hand made.
Thumbs down – El Jalapenos is so much better! El Jalapenos has an amazing chile con queso appetizer as well as killer margaritas. There's much more seating and it's cheaper than Luchita's! Hands down, El Jalapeno's is the best mexican on the west side.
The Best Customer Service – Just arrived from O.C. and was hungry for mexican food. Friends in Parma recommended Luchitas. I have NEVER received such great customer service from a restaurant ANYWHERE! The manager gave us VIP treatment, making me feel like I wasn't just another tourist. He and his staff literally went above and beyond, making me feel as though I was a star! We were served plates of tender and delicious carne asada and carnitas, two types of flavorful rice and beans, fresh chips with mouth watering salsa, and a wonderful (and very different) guacamole. The margaritas were EXCELLENT! Five stars for both the excellent food and outstanding customer service! Coming from an OC girl who has mexican restaurants on every corner, I was very pleased with my experience at Luchitas and will definately visit again on my next trip to Ohio.
Highly Overrated – Weak mexicanish food. Tis a shame with so many good places available in the area that this psuedo-Mexican stuff wins the poll.
High Cost and Poor Taste – I was looking for good Mexican food in Cleveland for a good price. This is not what I found at this restaurant. First of all when I heard the cost of my total order, I almost could not believe it. I would have gladly paid this price, however, had the food not been bland and had I even been able to finish my entire dinner. Overall I was greatly disappointed in the experience and will not be going back.
Single-handedly popularizing Mexican cuisine in a city where chile was once just part of the weather forecast. – The Scene
Getting in requires patience, as the Galindo family's cooking draws blue-blazered and chino-clad Clevelanders of all ages and ethnic persuasions. The fact that this international house of tamales sports a just-another-tavern exterior is part of the charm.
The Food
The menu changes every three months, so each visit feels pretty much like your first. Sometimes chef Rey Galindo brings back chicken in an espresso-dark mole sauce to complement Mama's famous cheese-stuffed chile rellenos slow-simmered in tomato sauce. As for the sauce, the holy mole and great bowls of fire (best quenched by cold, light-colored beers and ales) are part of the appeal of the Galindo's home recipes, some of which are sold in bottles behind the bar.
This is DEFINITELY NOT real Mexican food!!!!! – The place looks run down to me at walk in, and I've seen real Mexican food in Texas, California, Mexico, etc. The Menu is awful, my Margarita tasted like ice with red juice, worst ever! The Pepsi didnt even taste like anything close to Pepsi Cola (Sugar Water)
I seriously never tasted such bad so called Mexican food in my life. Just start with
bad tortilla chips and not anyones idea of a decent salsa. No way, no how recoomended. I can't understand why people would eat ther more than once. The servers are not well dressed, food brought out in towels, not on trays. They stand and watch you eat, ready to take your plate and give you the bill. Wasted Money! Please try other Real Mexican Restaurants. Thank-you

A Graceful Exit
The World Library Blog Newsletter
Volume 1, Number 25
Thursday, Sept 1, 2011
by Michael S. Hart
Founder, Project Gutenberg,
Inventor of eBooks
As most of my friends know, I have accomplished all of the goals I have set for myself throughout my life, and I think I can say, without fear of too much repercussive responses, that the career I have chosen in eBooks has been a success in terms of what I've been trying to accomplish for these last four decades.
At the same time, I do realize that other persons have had other ideas/ideals about eBooks, who have called me everything from an outright raging Communist, to sincere Socialist, to unqualified, in terms of membership. . .not ability. . .member of Capitalists Exploiting The World. . .no kidding. I do realize that is might be difficult for persons living on the other side of this world, given the information they have to work with, to view me, or any other American, as anything other than a Capitalist Imperialist, so I bear less in the way of ill feelings about this.
However, now the time has come to talk of other things.
Yes, I do have one more impossible goal I dream of, but I do not believe I can accomplish it in the same manner I accomplished an assortment of previous goals, with a combination of persistence, ability, and convincing others to give me unofficial assistance, as I face a combination of limited time, limited resources and I must admit, declining energy levels, though I still manage to do more work than I ever did before.
However, I do realize that without some serious changed in life, there is little possibility of accomplishing my last goal with a lifestyle continuing in the same vein.
Therefore, I now would like to remind you of my last goals:
1. A Billion eBook Library
2. Spending More Time In Hawaii
3. Working To Create A Graceful Exit
Here are the details:
A Billion eBook Library
Premise #1:
There are ~25 million books in the public domain.
If we do ~40% of these that will be ~10 million eBooks.
Premise #2:
There are ~250 languages with over a million speakers.
If we do ~40% of these that will be ~100 languages.
10 million eBooks translated into 100 languages yields
ONE BILLION eBOOKS
Note: I realize how impossible this sounds, given the powerful lack of interest by thousands of translators, and other experts I have contacted, but given previous personal experiences shared by each of you and myself, I think we must realize it IS possible, even if we are going to have to do all to much of it ourselves.
Nevertheless, I plan to devote a serious amount of the time I have remaining to doing the setup required.
As most of you know, Hawaii was just too laid back for me to stay there more than a month at a time when this opportunity first appeared.
However, you must also realize that from 1999 to 2011, I obviously have aged 12 years, and the difference for me between 52, when I could still pretend to be ~40's, and today, when there is little pretending possible, I am now much more likely to spend at least half my time there, if not even more, given that I might expect the pressures to increase to abandon my Illinois residence for various and sundry reasons we should maybe discuss when we get together next.
However, I can tell you that pressures of Winter, here in Illinois, plus those of advancing age, make it more and more difficult to look forward to more of this.
I should add that even though Spring is my favorite of all the seasons, this spring was an effort, but with a lot of luck I once again managed to do all I planned.
However, I must also admit that this, too, will get to be more and more difficult as the years progress.
Therefore I am very glad to announce that I have a job with World Public LIbrary in Hawaii and will be moving there shortly.
3. A Graceful Exit
I would like to support all the efforts I have before, plus the final one I have listed above, without any of repercussions that could take place with I shuffle off this mortal coil.
In some ways I would like to simply work behind scenes as much as possible so I won't be missed when I'm gone from those activities, but I also realize that my name just might be worth something in public relations so I leave some of that decision open for your advice.
As John and Greg can testify, I am still capable of an awful lot of Newsletter writing, though it does take a toll, particularly when I have lots more to do for the other portions of my life. Again, I leave this open a lot for your advice.
Please refer to the previous message I sent about work on setting up a new, and much different kind of setup, for The Billion eBook Project, I will resend it.
If I/we play our cards right, perhaps I can leave this scene without causing undue trouble, and perhaps I can even manage it in absentia as some kind of motivation, perhaps setting some goal, perhaps even some rewarding procedures for accomplishment.
I, personally, do not think the world at large really, sincerely wants to provide literacy and education from anyone to The Third World, in spite of all lip service to the contrary. . .so I warn you that the possibility exists that this project will not be supported from an outside set of sources that I still plan to approach-- so you might find that you are more on your own that I would like to hope, and that you might have to expect, really, a future that is more like the past, in terms, sadly to say, of having to do a LOT of this work on an individual basis more than having the world's support.
I hope you feel up to the task. . .you will be tempted more and more to rest from exhaustion as you get older and older. . .the all nighters will turn into just get up early when the air is clear, but you will also find that what you can accomplish in those fewer hours will be more than you ever did before, because experience's power is greater than you might think today.
That is what I leave you with. . . .
Another goal that is nigh well on to impossible.
Little hope of finding any real world support.
And the hope that your experience will leverage future endeavors for you as much as it has for me.
I hope you can put enough into these efforts that I am able to depart as gracefully as is possible these days.
Hoping to thank you soon for your time & consideration,
WPL Blog Newsletters

What a beautiful bracelet this is. I ordered the gold tone and the colour is just perfect. The clear crystals add a special elegance. The fit is very comfortable. It is stunning. Also. the little jewellery bag to protect your purchase is very pretty. I gave only four stars because a couple of the little crystals were not set in straight. Hope I don't loose them.

In the year that followed, my understanding of the world around me fused with exploring career options. I realized that the link between poor health and poor social conditions in Sri Lanka and India were the same as at home: unemployment and poverty, income inequalities, and lack of access to health care contribute to poor health status.We touched down in Mumbai on a Tuesday morning and spent three muggy days exploring the city. Boarding the overnight train to Rajasthan Thursday evening, we looked forward to seeing old forts and palaces and the arid landscape of western India. The midnight stop in Ahmedabad was magical"the air was cool, the chai was delicious, and the children nodded off on our duffel bags waiting for the next train. By Saturday we were in Udaipur, trying to diagnose my husband Jim's symptoms of low-grade fever, nausea, and fatigue.
Jim is a history professor at Colby. He had just finished a semester directing the Intercollegiate Sri Lanka Education study-abroad program. We were taking a three-week vacation in India with our children, who were then 8 and 12, and after that we were headed back to Sri Lanka for Jim's sabbatical year. I was taking a sabbatical, too. Dissatisfied with my work lobbying for business interests in Maine, I was contemplating a career change.
Jim's fever persisted in Udaipur. At the end of our first day there, I flipped through the pages of my worn copy of Where There is No Doctor. The index wasn't helpful, and the results of my research were remarkably unsatisfying. "Not every fever is malaria.... The common cold, typhoid and tuberculosis can cause mild fevers." Heat exhaustion was another possibility. I suggested Jim take a cold sponge bath. He ended up shivering for an hour afterwards and felt no better.
By the time we reached the desert city of Jodhpur four days later, Jim was unable to eat or to walk in the heat of the day. We sought out an upscale, air-conditioned tourist hotel. Jim slept for the next two days and nights while I worried. Our precautions before traveling"rounds of vaccinations, prescriptions of antibiotics, sterile syringes, a first-aid kit overflowing with salves and creams"were of no use. The fever was still low, he still felt nauseous, and he had no appetite.
We opted not to take public transport for the six-hour trip to Jaipur and paid for a taxi and driver. We chose our lodging based on the recommendations in our travel guide. Hotel Meghniwas was family-owned, located near the center of town. The innkeeper was a retired colonel in the Indian army and he recognized Jim's symptoms straight away. Hepatitis.
Colonel Singh called his personal physician, who arrived the following morning. The young doctor's bedside murmurings were reassuring. His lab assistant drew a blood sample, and the next day the physician returned. The diagnosis: Hepatitis E. Transmitted through contaminated food and water, with a four-week delay of onset. Acute symptoms peak two weeks before jaundice occurs and abate about a week after that. The treatment was simple. Bed rest, liquids, a no-fat diet, and an ayurvedic treatment of vitamin K tablets. It appeared that this was a mild case. Long-term liver damage was a possibility, but we would only know the severity as the symptoms continued to develop.
For the rest of that week, Jim slept 22 hours a day and was able to eat little and to drink only intermittently. I kept the kids occupied seeing the sites, all the while wishing and willing Jim back to health.
At the end of the week, Jim was weak and jaundiced. In our family photos at the Taj Mahal he looks exhausted. In Delhi the temperature was a sweltering 111 degrees, and we made an extended visit to the air-conditioned national museum. Back home in Sri Lanka he began a diet of king coconut juice, fruit, and bland curries. It would be six weeks before his appetite and energy level returned to normal.
In the year that followed, my understanding of the world around me fused with exploring career options. I realized that the link between poor health and poor social conditions in Sri Lanka and India were the same as at home: unemployment and poverty, income inequalities, and lack of access to health care contribute to poor health status. My liberal upbringing surfaced, and the idea of grassroots work hovered.
I now work with a community health coalition in Waterville that seeks to improve health and quality of life. We convene local agencies to review data and identify health problems annually, and then we spawn partnerships to address those problems. As a result, a prevention coalition addresses teen substance abuse through prevention programming in the schools. A diabetes care initiative combats diabetes complications by changing primary care and hospital practices. A community collaborative promotes physical activity and healthy weight. A network of doctors provides medical care on a sliding fee scale.
That experience in India"Jim's brush with illness in a strange place"is often on my mind and inspires me to make changes locally that improve health for everyone. Jim was lucky; he had the financial means and family support to find a doctor, a diagnosis, and appropriate care. But not everyone is so fortunate. And it doesn't seem right to me that sheer luck"and the kindness of strangers"should determine our health and well-being.

The most often reasons I've heard is, "It doesn't matter", well it does matter! Don't vote because you agree with that person, vote because the other person is so disagreeable.
Thats how I feel. You?
Views: 722
I vote. I have since I was 18. I vote at every election not just presidential... which is something most people don't do. I only know 6 atheists and they all vote. This means nothing, because I know sample size is everything. Do you have actual data or sources that confirm this idea? In my experience, the "it doesn't matter" answer is the main reason most state why they don't vote… not just atheists.
ha! register with the government!? easier to hide if i dont vote.
Removing the EPA, CIA, FBI, Fed, min wage? Reproductive rights? What's the libertarian stance on slavery? Civil rights and equal opportunity? Removing the US from the UN? Immigration policy?
Not only the policies, but the consequences were they to be put into action.
I don't think you know what you
Ron Paul - the man who has called global warming the "biggest hoax of mankind" - the man who has said he "doubts evolution ever happened". The man who doesn't mind Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and wants to pull all our troops out of every part of the world.
It is not surprising that the 9/11 "Truthers" and other conspiracy folks tend to be Ron Paul's biggest supporters. There was a recent article about this in Skeptic magazine which is owned by Michael Shermer.
haha nice one buddy. According to your logic, we can infer that "if you are not with Ron Paul, you are not for America".
These are from Mr. Ron Paul himself:
Paul says "nobody has concrete proof" for evolutionary theory, although he acknowledges that "it's a pretty logical theory." In his view, the intelligent-design concept has more to do with personal beliefs rather than science. "In a libertarian society these beliefs aren't nearly as critical. When you have government schools, it becomes important," he said. "'Are you fair in teaching that the earth could have been created by a creator or it came out of a pop, out of nowhere?' In a personal world, we don't have government dictating and ruling all these things; it's not very important."
Paul voiced strong opposition to federal funding for science education in 2000, saying that "Congress has no constitutional authority to single out any one academic discipline as deserving special emphasis." More recently, Paul was one of two members of Congress voting against a resolution to mark NSF's 60th anniversary.
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas has called the concern about Earth's changing climate "the greatest hoax I think that has been around for many, many years, if not hundreds of years," based on the Climategate reports (see above). He's opposed to energy subsidies as well as government efforts to control greenhouse-gas emissions. "Pollution can be better taken care of under a private market system, under private property," he said.
The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. — Ron Paul
Through perverse court decisions and years of cultural indoctrination, the elitist, secular Left has managed to convince many in our nation that religion must be driven from public view. The justification is always that someone, somewhere, might possibly be offended or feel uncomfortable living in the midst of a largely Christian society, so all must yield to the fragile sensibilities of the few. The ultimate goal of the anti-religious elites is to transform America into a completely secular nation, a nation that is legally and culturally biased against Christianity. — Ron Paul
I feel like its ok to vote for the lesser of two evils. But I personally wont vote for someone I cant get behind.
I do not vote for many reasons. Firstly, I have yet to see any candidate for any office back anything I support. Secondly, it's an illusion that we the people have any say in our leaders, at least at the national and sometimes state levels. The winner is whomever has enough money to spread their bullshit as far as they can. Too many lobbies have too much influence.
If you are going to vote, vote at the local level. There's less corruption, and the propositions and issues to be voted on are going to affect your everyday life.
I only place a specific vote if there is a Green candidate. It is the only party that even comes near to representing a scientific approach to society's challenges. I'm 45, sometimes I'm not even on the voting list, sometimes, if I'm on the list, I scratch my vote in protest.
All parties "believe" in neo-liberalism, even the Humanists and communist parties "believe" in perpetual growth and dominion of H. sapiens on earth. Our western countries are not really democracies, they're cushy feodalism. There is very little reason to vote, since voting changes nothing.
We Westerners live cushy secure lives thanks to our 500 yr iron-clad dominion over the rest of the world. This power is starting to weaken. I am very interested to know if it will fade during my lifetime...
It's a shame that a) necessary vote reform isn't going to happen in short order, and b) spoiled ballots aren't counted.
Of the federal leaders, Duceppe and May were the only candidates with any guts in the last election. I cannot (nor would I) vote for the Bloc, and the current elections system makes it very difficult for the Greens to get seats. Harper is f'n with the per-vote party funding subsidy, thus diminishing the impact of my Green vote ever further.
Studies show that those age 60+ vote more than any other group. Here in CA I have voted in every election since I became 21. No, I dont vote on all issues, but most issues. This state can have heavy loaded ballot measures that can make your eyes glaze over. Those 18-22 seem to vote the least. Sad. Maybe people simply dont think their vote matters, when they see how stuck in a rut, elected officials have become.
Or do some people think you have to cast a vote for everything on a ballot and they dont know all the issues so they dont vote? There have been times I have only voted for or against a few items on the ballot. The vote still counted.

Human rights and victims organizations in Guatemala have worked tirelessly to achieve important victories in the fight against impunity, but much remains to be done to achieve accountability and redress for violations during three decades of internal armed conflict. ICTJ has worked here to assist with reparations and criminal justice initiatives.
Guatemala's history is marked by great structural injustice, the marginalization of the indigenous population, and a 36-year internal armed conflict between the government and insurgents.
UN-brokered peace accords were finalized in 1996, ending the war and bringing a promise of truth, reparations, and reforms to address deep-rooted problems.
Under this framework, the Historical Clarification Commission (CEH) estimated total deaths and disappearances at 250,000. Its 1999 report—ground-breaking at the time, with its focus on historical and structural factors—found that the state's military operations against some Mayan communities constituted genocide. Earlier, the Catholic Church sponsored one of the most comprehensive unofficial truth commissions ever conducted.
Both commissions concluded that the war took a disproportionate toll on indigenous communities and that more than 90% of the violations—including more than 600 massacres—were committed by the State, which had denied these actions.
Victims groups demanded reparations, but it took almost ten years after the peace accords to start the National Reparations Program. In design, the Program includes many different measures, both to improve people's material conditions and to provide symbolic recognition to the victims. But in practice, the focus is on small, individual payments, leaving many deeply dissatisfied.
Hundreds of exhumations of have been conducted, and a DNA bank has been set up by the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Team to help identify remains for their return to families.
In 2005, human rights activists uncovered a trove of millions of National Police files, rotting in a warehouse. A national project was set up to organize the archive and make it available to the public. That work is now bearing fruit as documents from the archive are being used in the first court cases on disappearances.
Only a handful of cases have been prosecuted after years of efforts by victims; dozens of other cases are trapped in a maze of institutional neglect, lost evidence, and judicial stall tactics. Several cases before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have served to highlight the negligence and corruption of the national justice system. In 2004 the Guatemalan State admitted formally for the first time there had been a genocidal policy in its campaign against the Mayan peoples in the landmark Plan de Sanchez case. While reparations were paid justice has remained as elusive as ever.
Demands that the government provide information on the fate of some 40,000 disappeared have gone unheeded.
ICTJ has provided assistance to civil society and state institutions on reparations and criminal justice initiatives.
Most recently, we worked with partner Impunity Watch to produce a report on the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG)—a hybrid mechanism created by the UN and Guatemala to strengthen prosecution of criminal groups that grew out of former military intelligence structures. In 2011, we will release a briefing on CICIG (in English) that identifies issues important for policy makers with interest in hybrid justice.
In 2010 we also advised local organizations on improving advocacy efforts on reparations.

This school is terrible.
Let's start when you first walk in. I come early everyday and end up tardy because of the searching procedure. The line is very long and it moves slowly everyday. Therefore, you're marked tardy unless you're at the very front of the line. Second, there are no teachers. Currently, i have had two substitutes for months with no classwork assigned. I've never been in a school with a lack of teachers. Third, we have no extracurricular activities. No inauguration, no pep rallies, no band or chior, just nothing. I could go on for eons about the instability in this school. As a student, I would NEVER RECOMMEND TO ATTEND THIS SCHOOL.
My daughter attends your school and she has worked hard being a good student and now she might not be able to graduate because of her lateness even though she went to coach class to make it up im very dissapointed.
