Rated 5 out of 5 by JackieP Fabulous Alyssa bedding Love, love, love this bedding! It is sturdy enough to handle a dog jumping on the bed without being ruined, and versatile with any decor. The diamond pattern acts as a small geometric. I have it mixed with an oriental rug and rustic furniture. It is soft and can be used as a lightweight breathable blanket on cool Texas winter nights. Perfect for me. March 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sobelle54 Just what I was looking for This coverlet is perfect! After much searching, both online and in stores, I was thrilled to find one that was truly oversized. It covers my super thick mattress with room to spare so I am confident it will still be great even after washing. March 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by regattamom Finally!! After many failed attempts at finding the perfect king bed cover and shams, this was a home run. Quality is wonderful for the price and it looks great! Still haven't washed it but it's a little oversized so washing and drying shouldn't be a problem. May 14, 2013

The "Dwightmare" the Magic just endured was awful, make no mistake. But there have been a number of other seasons that teams have suffered through that have been just as bad, and many that were far, far worse.
Sometimes, the worst clouds that hang over teams' heads aren't even due to things that happen on the court. Though the Dwight Howard Indecision jerked Magic fans and management around, the team did experience relative success on the court. Howard still played hard until his season was derailed by a herniated disc in his lower back.
I'm not taking a strict ranking approach to this, as much as just trying to detail some of the worst things to happen in franchises' histories. After all, how could one really rank the death of three players as worse than one another? That's not even to mention things like Magic Johnson announcing he had HIV.
Those kinds of things make the Dwight Howard situation look like a breakup from a two-week relationship in junior high. Nonetheless, I have tried to give a rough order to a series of events which all have had negative and horrible consequences for the franchises involved.
Here's a look at the "Unlucky 13," 13 of the worst years endured by teams in the last 25 years.

Other tools may help some people, but there's no strong proof that they can improve your chances of quitting.
Methods without nicotine
Hypnosis methods vary a great deal, which makes it hard to study as a way to stop smoking. For the most part, reviews that looked at controlled studies of hypnosis to help people quit smoking have not supported it as a quitting method that works. Still, some people have reported that it helped them quit. If you'd like to try it, ask your doctor to recommend a good licensed therapist who does hypnotherapy.
This method has been used to quit smoking, but there's little evidence to show that it works. Acupuncture for smoking is usually done on certain parts of the ears. (See our document Acupuncture for more on this.) For a list of doctors who do acupuncture, contact the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture at 323-937-5514 or visit their website at www.medicalacupuncture.org.
Magnet therapy
Magnet therapy to quit smoking involves 2 small magnets that are placed at a certain location, opposite each other on either side of the ear. Magnetism holds them in place. There's no scientific evidence to date to suggest that magnet therapy is an effective method of helping smokers stop. There are many on-line companies that sell these magnets, and they report various "success" rates. But there's no clinical trial data to back up these claims.
Low-level laser therapy
This technique, also called cold laser therapy, is related to acupuncture. In this method, cold lasers are used instead of needles for acupuncture. The treatment is supposed to relax the smoker and release endorphins (pain relief substances that are made naturally by the body) to mimic the effects of nicotine in the brain, or balance the body's energy to relieve the addiction. Despite claims of success by some cold laser therapy providers, there's no scientific evidence that shows this helps people stop smoking. (See our document called Cold Laser Therapy for more.)
Filters that reduce tar and nicotine in cigarettes do not work. In fact, studies have shown that smokers who use filters tend to smoke more.
Smoking deterrents
Other methods have been used to help stop smoking, such as over-the-counter products that change the taste of tobacco, stop-smoking diets that curb nicotine cravings, and combinations of vitamins. At this time there's little scientific evidence that any of these work.
Herbs and supplements
There's little scientific evidence to support the use of homeopathic aids and herbal supplements as stop-smoking methods. Because they are marketed as dietary supplements (not drugs), they don't need FDA approval to be sold. This means that the manufacturers don't have to prove they work, or even that they're safe.
Be sure to look closely at the label of any product that claims it can help you stop smoking. No dietary supplement has been proven to help people quit smoking. Most of these supplements are combinations of herbs, but not nicotine. They have no proven track record of helping people to stop smoking.
Mind-body practices
Some studies have looked at cessation programs using yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to aid in quitting smoking. Results were not clearly in favor of these methods, but some showed lower craving and less smoking; studies are still going on. Cognitive processing methods (cognitive-behavioral approaches) are also being studied.
Researchers looking at 15 studies of exercise found that short bouts of light to moderate exercise helped reduce cravings, but most studies were too small to show reliable effects on quitting. One study suggested that people who actively took part in structured exercise programs were more likely to quit but study volunteers sometimes avoided the actual exercise, making it hard to test the effectiveness of exercise in quitting. More research using larger studies is needed.
Nicotine and tobacco products not reviewed or approved by the FDA
Electronic cigarettes
In 2004, a Chinese company started making a refillable "cigarette" with a battery and an electronic chip in it. It's designed to look like a cigarette, right down to the glowing tip. When the smoker puffs on it, the system delivers a mist of liquid, flavorings, and nicotine that looks something like smoke. The smoker inhales it like cigarette smoke, and the nicotine is absorbed into the lungs.
The electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is sold with cartridges of nicotine and flavorings. Several brands and varieties of the e-cigarette are now sold in the United States. The e-cigarette is usually sold as a way for a smoker to get nicotine in places where smoking is not allowed, but some have sold it as a way to quit smoking. The cartridges are sold as having different doses of nicotine, from high doses to no nicotine at all.
Some research is now looking at whether e-cigarettes might help people quit smoking. One early study from New Zealand found that e-cigarettes were about as effective as nicotine patches in helping people quit after 6 months. This was only a single study, and the researchers noted that more studies are needed to determine the possible benefits and risks of e-cigarettes in helping people quit. E-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA to help people quit smoking.
There are questions about how safe it is to inhale some substances in the e-cigarette vapor into the lungs. The ingredients in e-cigarettes are not labeled, so the user doesn't know what's in them. The amounts of nicotine and other substances a person gets from each cartridge are also unclear. The manufacturers say that the ingredients are safe, but it's not clear if they are safe to inhale – many substances that are safe to eat can harm delicate tissues inside the lungs.
E-cigarettes are not supposed to be sold for therapeutic purposes (such as quitting smoking) and are not yet regulated by the FDA as of early 2014. Still, information from the FDA suggests that e-cigarettes are not always safe. A 2009 analysis of 18 samples of cartridges from 2 leading e-cigarette brands found cancer-causing substances in half the samples. There were other impurities noted as well. For example, diethylene glycol, a toxic ingredient found in antifreeze, was found in one sample.
Information from the same testing suggests that there may be manufacturing problems with some brands of e-cigarettes. Nicotine levels from each puff varied a great deal, even between cartridges labeled as having the same nicotine amounts. Testing also found small amounts of nicotine in most of the cartridges labeled nicotine-free.
Because the American Cancer Society doesn't yet know whether e-cigarettes are safe and effective, we cannot recommend them to help people quit smoking. There are proven methods available to help people quit, including pure forms of inhalable nicotine as well as nasal sprays, gums, and patches.
Until electronic cigarettes are scientifically proven to be safe and effective, ACS will support the regulation of e-cigarettes and laws that treat them like all other tobacco products.
At this time it doesn't look like e-cigarettes work any better than other forms of nicotine to help people quit smoking. Their safety has not yet been proven, and their labels don't say what's in them. More information is needed.
Like other forms of nicotine, e-cigarettes and nicotine cartridges can be toxic to children or pets. They can also pose a choking hazard.
Tobacco lozenges and pouches
Lozenges that contain tobacco and small pouches of tobacco that you hold in your mouth are being sold as other ways for smokers to get nicotine in places where smoking is not allowed. The FDA has ruled that these are types of oral tobacco products much like snuff and chew, and are not smoking cessation aids. There's no evidence that these products can help a person quit smoking. Unlike scientifically proven treatments with known effects, such as nicotine replacement products, anti-depressants, nicotine receptor blockers, or behavioral therapy, these tobacco products have never been tested to see if they can help people quit tobacco.
We know that oral tobacco products such as snuff and chewing tobacco contain human carcinogens. These products cause mouth cancer and gum disease. They also destroy the bone sockets around teeth and can cause teeth to fall out. There are studies showing potential harmful effects on the heart and circulation, as well as increased risks of other cancers. They also cause bad breath and stain the teeth. They are not safe alternatives to cigarettes, nor do they help people quit tobacco.
To learn more about these products, see Smokeless Tobacco.
Nicotine lollipops and lip balms
In the past, some pharmacies made a product called a nicotine lollipop. These lollipops often contained a product called nicotine salicylate, which is not approved by the FDA for pharmacy use. The FDA warned pharmacies to stop selling nicotine lollipops and lip balm on the Internet, calling the products "illegal." The FDA also said "the candy-like products present a risk of accidental use by children."
Other smoking cessation products like these that do not use nicotine salicylate may be legal if they are prescribed by a doctor. Because doses vary, you will need to talk with your doctor about how to use them. But they still pose a risk for children and pets if they are not well-labeled, carefully stored, and disposed of safely.

If you're talking about Teaism, I've only been to the one in DuPont Circle once, but I can say that that is not what they do at the Alexandria location. They do use a bag method of infusion, but the tea is removed after steeping, and served in a teapot. They also seem to understand proper water temperatures, which is not always the case with some establishments, particularly with greens and whites.
Splinters wrote:There is one high-end tea house in DC worth noting. It's the Tea Cellar in the Park Hyatt. Look up the menu on the web to see what I mean.
A step down is Ching Ching Cha in Georgetown. It has a pleasant atmosphere and some reasonably solid teas, mostly from Taiwan. You shouldn't avoid Georgetown simply because it's a 20 minute walk from a metro station. It the oldest neighborhood in DC, and a charming place to visit. It would be a shame to miss.

Rated 5 out of 5�by theo Love these gloves. I am not a boxer and I never stepped in a ring, but know quality when I see it. I use these gloves to hit a 100 pound heavy bag and they are holding up very well. With wraps, these gloves are nice and snug. The shell is made of leather. I believe the palm is vinyl. Since these are made by Ringside, they use the IMF padding. The thumb and wrist are also nicely padded. The thumb is attached so you don't jam it while striking. The hook and loop fastener goes all the way around the wrist, which helps provide extra wrist support and make it easy to put the gloves on yourself. When hitting the bag, the gloves make good contact and they do not slip and slide. Also, these gloves are exactly like the Ringside IMF pro style training glove, but it is 40 dollars less. These gloves are great. Spend the little extra money and get these. You will enjoy them, you will be well protected, and you will look great using these. Don't settle for cheap gloves that do not hold up and provide the protection you need. Be great at what you do and get great gear to do it. January 22, 2015

10 Most Expensive NFL Stadium Beers
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Another NFL season, another year of beer-drinking football fans being sacked for a loss.
NFL fans who actually leave their flatscreens, sofas and DirecTV's
If you live outside of Ohio and Tampa, Fla. -- where beer prices at home games of the Cleveland Browns ($5 for 16 ounces), Cincinnati Bengals ($5 for 12 ounces) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($5.75 for 16 ounces) rank among the lowest in the league -- be prepared to pay a minimum of $6 per beer at the stadium this year. With help from NFL concessionaires Aramark, Delaware North and Centerplate and Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index, we found the Top 10 beer prices in the league and the teams hosing their fans for suds:
10. Tie: St. Louis Rams/Baltimore Ravens
Price of a small draft beer: $8 for 20 ounces
Price per ounce: 40 cents
When beer's as much a part of the city's heritage as it is in St. Louis, it can serve as a direct route to citizens' hearts and minds. Since the Rams haven't made the playoffs since 2004, haven't had a winning record since 2003 and have had three wins or less in four of the past five seasons, its demand that the city pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a promised stadium can seem a bit insensitive. Dropping average ticket prices by 2% and dropping the price of beer by a buck without shrinking the size of the cup are savvy PR moves by a team that clearly knows its key demographic.
The Ravens, meanwhile, were a dropped touchdown pass away from the Super Bowl last year and have hiked the price of a beer at M&T Bank

Real Estate Investments: Where and How Right Now
By Hal M. Bundrick
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Real estate is making a comeback, but for investors, the key will be looking for opportunities beyond the traditionally popular markets. And there's one real estate investment in particular that needs to be on your radar.
The "smart money" is moving to secondary markets in 2014, according to Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2014, co-published by PwC U.S. and the Urban Land Institute. Instead of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, think Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Jose.
Such secondary real estate markets can provide investment returns that are now harder to find in the more conventional markets where the best assets have become increasingly expensive, according to real estate pros.
"The anticipated interest in secondary markets is indicative of how the U.S. real estate recovery is expanding beyond the traditional investment hubs," says ULI Chief Executive Officer Patrick L. Phillips. "Access to greater amounts of both debt and equity financing, combined with a sustained improvement in the underlying economic fundamentals, means that the opportunities and returns offered in smaller markets are potentially very appealing."
Real estate investors are particularly upbeat in their view for the coming year. Only one factor looms to curb their enthusiasm: interest rate hikes -- when and how much.
"Real optimism has emerged as a key theme in the real estate market for 2014 as trends are progressing significantly through the economic and real estate recovery cycles," says Mitch Roschelle, a partner at the U.S. real estate advisory practice leader, PwC. "The steady economic recovery and job creation has created 'tailwinds' that have propelled the commercial real estate market forward, and momentum of this recovery seems powerful enough to weather spikes in interest rates that may be inevitable."
The report forecasts a modest increase in interest rates for the short term, but not enough to cause "a major disruption to the recovery." Experts believe rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board that would increase borrowing costs could be offset by greater demand and higher rents. However, the report cautions that faster-than-anticipated rate increases could undermine the recovery.
Where to put your money
Key markets favored by investors include:
- Miami is benefiting from South American investment and its homebuilding prospects are particularly favored by survey respondents.
- Seattle is another top city with global connections, a high rate of educational attainment and growth in the technology industry, making it a hub for international investment.
- San Francisco is the top-ranked market for the second year in a row, driven by a thriving economy which is projected to add jobs at a rate of 2% next year. According to survey respondents, San Francisco, while expensive, is still a solid "buy" for all property types.
- Houston is a market growing in favor due to its investment and homebuilding prospects. Housing, non-residential construction, and a revival in exploration industries could be the key economic drivers.
- San Jose is attractive to investors due to its technology industry. Respondents believe that the job and income growth generated by the sector will support rising real estate demand.
- New York is facing a growing concern that pricing is once again becoming too high. Rental apartments and hotels are the property sectors that respondents feel offer the best opportunities in 2014.
- Dallas/Fort Worth has strong homebuilding prospects that boosted the market's prospects in this year's survey.

Hi Bellas,
Friday night my roomies and I went to a house party thrown by one of our friends. Their college friends (from Duke) were coming into town for New Years and it was the first kickoff party :)
So of course I was in charge of our makeup. I did a cotton candy inspired look for myself using sushi flower, knight devine, and clarity. For my roomie alex I used her new e/s freshwater and combined it with amber lights. For melissa, I gave her a bronzy more neutral look since she's intimidated my bright colors, but give me time and I will convert her.
Hope you enjoy :)
Melissa - bronze look (shroom, bronze, embark)
Alex (freshwater, amberlights, and a highlighter that I don't remember)
Me (sushi flower, knight devine, clarity, shroom)
Our happy family :)

How About an Occupy New York Stock Exchange?
For years, floor traders and brokers at the Big Board and the American Stock Exchange have been periodically caught up in scandals, usually by taking advantage of their privileged position to screw their customers. Only this past Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused the NYSE itself of rooking customers, fining the exchange $5 million for giving some customers an advance access to automated trading data. In an era in which even a nanosecond can give a trader an edge, it was an extraordinary breach of trust. The NYSE agreed to the fine without admitting or denying the charges.
As so often happens when bad news is released on Friday, the NYSE charges faded immediately into the ether. They sounded awfully technical. But this was actually a seminal event, which raises a question that needs to be addressed: What is the point of having a quasi-public stock exchange, supposedly serving as a neutral intermediary between buyers and sellers, if it can't keep its hands out of the till?
I mean that more literally than you may think. Richard Whitney, who was president of the NYSE in the 1930s, went to prison for embezzlement. But it's the activity on the floor, and in the back offices of the exchanges -- the subject of the SEC action on Friday -- that have proven the most problematic. The most recent scandal to hit the exchange took place a few years ago, when traders at a firm called Oakford systematically engaged in illegal trading on the stock exchange floor. Some of them pleaded guilty to securities fraud and were sentenced to prison terms.
That was just the tip of the iceberg. At the time the charges were announced in 1999, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan had probable cause that 64 floor brokers had been illegally trading on the floor of the exchange. Few were caught up in the Feds' dragnet. The NYSE itself was subject of an SEC enforcement action that year for doing a lousy job of policing its trading floor, and was slammed again by the SEC in 2005 for the same infraction.
Come to think of it, it seems a little odd that the SEC said on Friday that its most recent penalties against the NYSE were "first-of-its-kind charges." The media, predictably, picked up on that phraseology. In fact, there have been at least three SEC enforcement actions against the NYSE in recent years, all dealing with the failure of the exchange to properly police itself. Doesn't the SEC know how to count?

It's been written about everywhere, but since we keep spotting installations in the wild where people don't know about it, it probably deserves another mention.
By default, Linux uses the atime option on a disk mount, which means it writes a timestamp (e.g. a write to the drive) every time it reads anything. So in this case, reads cause writes – and also disk seeks, because a read from a file will then trigger having to write to the directory that contains the file. This even occurs if a file is read from the file system's page cache (reading from the machine's memory rather than the drive).
Unless you require an audit trail of users reading files, you generally you don't want this. Thus, you want to add the noatime option to the disk mount in /etc/fstab. If you have just the defaults in there, you just make it defaults,noatime. It'll doesn't necesarily require a reboot as you can use umount/mount, but that gets tricky when dealing with the root filesystem so a reboot is generally easier. Setting these options is one of the first things we do when configuring a server.
Some user applications, such as Mutt (mail reader) do use the read access time. In that case, you can use the relatime option instead, which only writes a timestamp when a file or directory is written to. This is just for completeness of this story, as it's still sub-optimal for a database server.
If you require read details for auditing (security) of the operating system, make sure all database-related files (database directories, InnoDB log files, binary logs, etc) are on a separate mount where you can use noatime.
Using noatime also makes a lot of sense on a web server, as it does a lot of reads. Remember, the fact that most files are in the filesystem cache doesn't make a difference. As a general guide, it makes sense to set on most server installations. Quick win.

Reviews for this host's other properties
the location is perfect. but absolutely no value for the money. we could not take a shower as the shower tab gave almost boiling water without the possibility to vary temperature. it was dangerous! and the apartment was rather dirty, in particular the kitchen, and the central light in the kitchen did not function so it was very dark inside. we complained immediately, and they promised to send someone, but it never happened. we asked for a partly refund of the rental, but no reaction. With a bit more effort this can be a great apartment on a perfect spot in the upperwest area, but it requires better management.
Fantastic apartment in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Close to most sites. Apartment was very clean and comfy beds.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Arrived outside the apartment, no one there, called, oh since 2 days Rohrbruch, tantamount someone and brings us elsewhere.
Absolute Katarophe, bad location, window pane by a Rigibsplatte replaced (only reingestellt), dirty, no sheets for the sofa bed, shower tray only in a diving suit walked.
The next day, after countless phone calls to get another apartment.
Was slightly better, all the windows available, only,
was still inhabited, shower curtain with a lot of mold spores, had a sofa bed approx sensation 70 years old mattress, no air conditioning (30 degrees), window did not work, the front too loud) Ave. Rear odors through gastronomy. All in all we felt completely ripped off by the host and would never book in life again with him.
Vor dem Apartment angekommen, keiner da, angerufen, oh seit 2 Tagen Rohrbruch, kommt gleich jemand und bringt uns woanders unter.
Absolute Katarophe, schlecht Lage, Fensterscheibe durch eine Rigibsplatte ersetzt (nur reingestellt), dreckig, keine Bettwäsche für die Schlafcouch, Duschwanne nur im Taucheranzug begehbar.
Am nächsten Tag, nach unzähligen Telefonaten ein anderes Apartment bekommen.
War etwas besser, alle Fensterscheiben vorhanden, nur,
war noch bewohnt, Duschvorhang mit jeder Menge Schimmelsporen, Schlafcouch hatte eine ca. gefühlte 70 Jahre alte Matratze, keine Klimaanlage (30Grad), Fenster auf ging auch nicht, vorn zu laut ) Ave. hinten Gerüche durch Gastronomie. Alles in Allem fühlten wir uns durch den Gastgeber komplett verarscht und würde nie im Leben noch einmal bei ihm buchen.
The accommodation has complied with the images. I though it was not clean enough. We had to first clean the sanitary facilities and the kitchen. The beds were stained and there were some hairs on the bed sheet. The location is not Upper East Side but Harlem. That did not bother us as we found it nice in Harlem. For 6 days it was sufficient.
Die Unterkunft hat den Bildern entsprochen. Ich fand sie allerdings nicht sauber genug. Wir mussten erstmal den sanitär Bereich und die Küche putzen. Die Betten hatten Flecken und es waren teilweise Haare auf den Bettlaken. Die Lage ist auch nicht Upper East Side sondern Harlem. Das hat uns nicht gestört da wir es in Harlem nett fanden. Für 6 Tage War es ausreichend.
Although, despite the apartment he was in Harlem and on the Upper East Side as advertised, I can assure you that the 118 str. is a very quiet and well vivibile.L'appartamento but had some negativity is due to the extreme smallness of the bathroom, (when you sat on the toilet with your knees touched the sink also the hot shower was rusty) and to the second bedroom , given for double, even this extremely small so as not to be able to open the window. Also the apartment is on the second floor without elevator. Another negative point is the provision of crockery; in the kitchen is a microwave oven in place a site without an electrical outlet, there was a kettle with no filters and therefore unusable pots and the only available were two padelle.Altro grievance was the opportunity to store luggage in the office when we left the apartment. Avendoci not clear that we would have to tell, when we went to the office which is located on the third floor, we found the broken elevator and the office closed.
Anche se, nonostante l'appartamento si trovasse ad Harlem e non sull'Upper east side come pubblicizzato, posso assicurare che la 118 str. è un luogo tranquillissimo e ben vivibile.L'appartamento però aveva delle negatività dovute sia alla estrema piccolezza del bagno, (quando ci si sedeva sulla tazza con le ginocchia si toccava il lavandino inoltre la vasca della doccia era arrugginita) sia per la seconda camera, data per matrimoniale, anche questa estremamente piccola tanto da non poter aprire la finestra. Inoltre l'appartamento si trova al secondo piano senza ascensore. Altro punto negativo è la fornitura di stoviglie; nella cucina è presente un forno a microonde posto in un sito privo di presa elettrica, c'era un bollitore privo di filtri e quindi inutilizzabile e le uniche pentole a disposizione erano due padelle.Altro motivo di lagnanza è stata la possibilità di depositare i bagagli in ufficio quando abbiamo lasciato l'appartamento. Non avendoci precisato che avremmo dovuto avvisare, quando siamo andati presso l'ufficio che è posto al terzo piano, abbiamo trovato l'ascensore rotto e l'ufficio chiuso.
Apartment is in a good location. It is a bit small or much smaller than it looks like on photos. The service of the owners is horrible. They didn't have extra keys for us, once they brought it three days later they were wrong so I was stuck in the middle of the night without keys to enter the apartment. Plus the servicemen were giving us attitude. Need a lesson in hospitality business.
Optimal location apartment, within walking distance from Time Square; We found the apartment not very clean, towels and dirty sheets and also lacked basic services such appendoni for wardrobe and chairs (there were 3 but there was only one).
Given the position it is a little bit noisy.
Findings generally adequate for the convenience of the place.
Posizione appartamento ottimale, a pochi passi da Time Square; abbiamo trovato l'appartamento non ben pulito, asciugamani e lenzuola sporche ed inoltre mancava di servizi minimi quali appendoni per armadio e sedie (eravamo in 3 ma ce ne era soltanto 1).
Vista la posizione risulta un pó rumoroso.
Giudizio complessivamente sufficiente per la comodità del posto.
More or less as expected. Opening hours are not long. Normally closes at 6pm. Extra chrages for weekends (40$) which can not be avoided.
Location of the aprtment is E 52nd and 2 Ave. Good Midtown location close to UN headquarters and many financial institutions. Quiet neighbourhood.
Arpartment has some minor problems. Window in the kitchen can not be opened. Dishwasher was broken.

Eagle Point School Bus Collides With Car
A school bus in Eagle Point collided with a car on Brownsboro-Meridian Road this morning. None of the five students on board ranging in age from 10 to 17 were injured.
According to a witness, the sunlight at this time of day makes visibility more challenging. Law enforcement are investigating the accident.
Shortly afterwards, a replacement bus arrived at the scene to transport the students to school. Parents were notified by the school district.

Matt Scott Blog - Greetings from Istanbul
Since we have returned from the break we have had a couple games both against worthy opponents and I can feel us growing as a team. European Championships are coming very soon and I'm very eager to begin our quest for the cup! It seems as if time is standing still right now. I think I am looking forward to that tournament so much that it appears that it will never come. A wise man told me "Life is a game of inches" and I couldn't agree more. With that being said it gives me the oppurtunity to enjoy every possible moment this experience has to offer. I don't want to take anything for granted so I attempt to make the best of any situation here. I'm not so much stopping to smell the roses, but collecting them to take a sniff later. I will have time to look back at all of the amazing things that have occured since arriving but for now there are too many goals left to accomplish for me to be satisfied with what's already been accomplished.
Speaking of accomplishments, we were invited to an awards dinner last week to recognize us as team of the year. The awards were put on by one of Turkey's most famous newspapers and the best athletes and teams in the country were honored. It is a great feeling to be recognized for our accomplishments, but even better feeling knowing the caliber of teams this country produces in various sports and that we are respected throughout the country for being great athletes. The event was phenomenal and very well organized. We all received some pretty nice individual trophies. In fact I thought it was so nice I clumsily dropped it on the sidewalk after barely having it 20 minutes!
Everyone who reads these whether we are aquainted or not I really appreciate it. No experience is greater than an experience you can share with the people who support you. I hope you continue to support me through this experience. As European Championships approach I will keep you updated on my progress.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Blondies. (Gluten/Grain/Egg/Dairy Free with directions to make Sugar Free.)
February 8, 2013
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk
I thought of the idea to make these Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Blondies last night at midnight.. and by 7am I had the perfect pan hot out of the oven.
(Yes, I do usually sleep- but this past week I became hyperthyroid after adding exercise to my routine for the first time in three years. Little did I know working out can increase your t3 and t4 levels! Needless to say I've had some insomnia and been taking advantage by baking during the night. Its all about the silver lining!)
I wish I had thought to make these blondies a LONG time ago. They are delicious and easy- and I can eat them even despite my laundry list of food intolerances.
- 2 packed cups of blanched almond flour (see substitution notes below)
- 3/4 cups of peanut butter (see substitution notes below)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (see substitution notes below)
- 3/4 Tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
- 10 Tablespoons of Water or Milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1-2 bars of dairy free chocolate. (see substitution notes below)
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a the bowl of a stand mixer mix all of the ingredients until smooth.
- Chop bars of chocolate and stir in the chunks into the blondie batter. (It should end up the consistency of thick peanut butter).
- Bake for 30-33 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
Instead of blanched almond flour feel free to use another homemade nut or seed flour. Sunflower seed flour reacts to baking soda and powder and turns green if you surpass a certain amount of baking powder per cup of flour. (I don't know what this exact amount is and will be toying with this in the future.) This is something to be aware of if you try using homemade sunflower seed flour, If your not a risk taker- then try using less baking powder in the recipe than I have called for. For the best results use a mild tasting nut or seed flour.
To make your own Nut or Seed flour: simply run the nut or seed in a high powdered blender or coffee grinder until you have a super fine flour. (If the flour is course- the recipe might not work as well.) If you flour is course, then be aware that your cookies are going to spread more and not turn out as good. Coconut flour or any of the starchy grain based flours will NOT work in this recipe. Only use other Nut/Seed flours.
The granulated sugar can be ANY of the following varieties: Organic Cane Sugar or regular cane Sugar, Sucanat, Coconut Palm Sugar or Granulated Maple Sugar. To make this recipe SUGAR FREE use xylitol or erythritol. I have become a huge fan of the Truvia Baking Blend made out of erythritol and is available at most grocery stores. It works spectacular in all of my cookie recipes.
For the Peanut Butter I used Trader Joes Unsweetened- its super thin and creamy. If you use another peanut butter that is thicker you may need to add a little extra water. Your batter should end up the consistency of thick peanut butter- so feel free to add an extra TBS of water (or milk) or so if needed to get that thickness. (add a little at a time, a little will go a long way). If you want to avoid peanuts another nut or seed butter will work. Follow the same guidelines and add a little extra water (or milk) if needed.
For the Chocolate: I used a bar of Simply Light sugar free/ dairy free dark chocolate. It can be found at Trader Joe's or Whole foods. Any bar of chocolate can be used in this recipe.. additionally you can always just use allergen free chocolate chips or chunks from Enjoy Life.
PLEASE follow these guidelines if you would like the recipe to work! Making other changes will give you different results. Experiment at your own risk.

quote Zakutoahh the old I'm not very efficient thing don't worry about that just watch the steps/attacks on any monster and know how long it takes you to attack and you'll crush anything trust me I've beet the game and workin on doin it againgn_x00
Well i dont exactly remember the name of the hammer i used but what i do remember is its in that path. I think it was Onslaught's previous version.
It's not like i don't know how to use one but i'm not really efficient in fighting with LS
quote Zakuto.... Okay then.i cleared it with onslaught hammer at first(i barely passed though!)
quote HunterxThe one you're using is the same one I used for my first gaoren fight. You should do okay as long as you time your flinches on him properly. (Flinches being when his leg color gets changed.) Also, don't be afraid of using the dragonator button on the defenses before you start attacking him. It does a considerably amount of damage.Give me a good fire ls, I have the blood blade from rathalos body which have 720 damage with 250 or so fire attrbute.
quote Zakutoso, you barely pass the low rank Gaoren with a high rank weapon?Use the tactics Hanners gave you, but if you wanted to know i cleared it with onslaught hammer at first(i barely passed though!). I killed him later with Dual Dragon Ultimus(i think thats what it's called). But to clarify on the 'colour' of its leg, you want every legs to go in bright red colour.

An oddity about this concerto is the way the balance of the solo instruments seems to change in the course of the piece – perhaps a sign of the diverse origins of the work (an early version survives which lacks the third movement and part of the last). But it might equally represent Bach's way of demonstrating the diversity and malleability of the genre at the outset of the collection. The piccolo violin (tuned a third higher than the standard string pitch for these concertos) first comes to prominence in the second movement, a beautiful, affecting lament that – with its piquant cross-relations – seems to all but follow a text which lies just beyond our ears. In the third movement the high violin appears in a more virtuosic light, but after this point it disappears again. This movement is also known as the opening chorus of the secular Cantata 207, 'Vereinigte Zwietracht der wechselnden Saiten', in which vocal parts seem to have been added to the instrumental texture. However, if Malcolm Boyd's guess is right, both this and the Brandenburg version might go back to an earlier vocal model. Thus what we hear as the third movement of the first concerto might actually be the instrumental arrangement of a chorus – something which points to the wider concept of 'concerto', embracing vocal, as well as instrumental, music. This suggests that we should not think of these concertos purely as abstract, absolute music: their gestures, moods and rhetorical structure should perhaps be seen in a similar light to texted music.
The first concerto, uniquely, presents a fourth movement, a set of dances interspersed with repetitions of a French-style minuet. Just as vocal and instrumental genres were closer to one another than we might think, so too were the genres of 'Italian' concerto and 'French' suite. Not only does the return structure of the minuet parallel the ritornello form of an Italian concerto movement, dances sometimes form the basis of the longer concerto movements (the third movement of this concerto has many of the characteristics of a passepied, that of the sixth concerto is like a gigue).

Keeping it local at Wegmans Organic Farm
Leeks, beets, radishes, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, mini sweet peppers, rainbow carrots, fingerling potatoes. Varietal herbs like Lemon Basil, Purple Sage, Lavender, Sorrel, Cilantro, even Stevia. Sounds like summer at its best.
This summer, Pittsford Wegmans offered a unique sampling of vegetables and herbs from its' organic farm in Canandaigua. I wanted to know more about this pioneering project and the tender greens and savory herbs grown there.
I talked to Jamie Robinson, Farm Manager, who oversees four acres of planting on a 50 acre parcel dedicated to the organic farm. For the past three years, Jamie, whose background is in environmental conservation, has managed the farm.
"One of our biggest goals on the farm is season extension," says Robinson. "We're growing food year-round. Six high tunnels control environmental factors and help extend our growing season. When we pull our tomatoes in September and October, we plant lettuce, mixed greens and arugula in their place."
Robinson and Wegmans call on their partners to develop and implement organic growing techniques. "We have great relationships with our organic seed companies and, of course, our 540 local growers. Elliot Coleman, an organic farming guru who farms on the coast of Maine, has been an important guide. We talk to Cornell. And some of it, well, it's just trial and error," notes Robinson.
The farm's biggest success story this season has been their mixed greens, according to Robinson, which, he says, "are simply fantastic." "Our greens grow well in spring and fall. They are really on. Beets and radishes went large scale this past season too and cherry tomatoes had major flavor."
The trick, according to Robinson, "We do everything ourselves, on-site. Soil quality is
No. 1. We do our own composting and next season we're looking at automation to keep labor costs down. Everything we do is environmentally-friendly on the farm."
Like all organic farms, Wegmans Organic Farm struggles with insect control and weather conditions but through experimentation and progressive methods, the farm is producing a consistent crop.
Customers who are curious about what happens on the farm, can tour the farm twice a week during spring, summer and fall. There's an ambassador program in the Pittsford and Canandaigua stores. A designated store employee who works on the farm, is available to answer questions about farm produce and the varieties available.
Robinson believes in the growing practices they employ which are "better for the environment." "We push the envelope of what can be done here. And we have the support of a large company like Wegmans. Not many companies have this kind of vision."
What about taste? "Soil quality, again, is key. It shows in the flavor. The taste is huge," says Robinson.
Preview for next growing season? Robinson says, "GREENS, in capital letters. There is such a demand, we can't keep them in stock."
For more information on Wegmans Organic Farm visit, www.wegmans.com. If you have organic gardening stories you'd like to share, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

You will most likely have to put your iPod into DFU mode before connecting to iTunes. You will lose the jailbreak - you can't update without losing it.

The biggest date night of the year is a lot closer than you may think, so you're probably hard at work trying to figure out the best makeup ensemble. If you're a fan of pink cosmetics, there are more than a few tasteful style choices you can pair with your liquid eyeliner on the big day to wow your date, according to BoldSky.com.
Pink blush is a fabulous way to perk up your complexion before your big date. However, this can be a strong hue depending on your skin tone, so weight the proportions of the makeup before your date night arrives. You should pair it with a simple eye makeup look of tube mascara and liquid eyeliner to accentuate the look of your blush.
On the other hand, if you're a big fan of pink lip color, you can be a bit more adventurous with your eye makeup. Go with a slightly subdued smoky eye by combining shades of mauve, violet or gray. This will provide fabulous contrast and give your peepers an alluring look.
Most importantly, make sure the proportions of your makeup are in good order. The last thing you want to do is scare away your date with tons of cosmetics, so embrace color while letting your natural complexion shine through.

Topic: localhost
Hello, I have a problem. So here's the story:
So originally I had a problem getting localhost:3000 to work. I fixed that but when I deleted the old index for that, and made a new page
for my app, it stopped working in a completely different way. It returns an error every time I try to get into localhost:3000. The type of error
is actually a routing error. I don't know what that is but apparently, it has to do with the file that my app is routed from. Or it wouldn't happen when I got
rid of the old index. Help?

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Madam Speaker, today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. I want to thank all of those organizations, including Independent Living Canada, for organizing the eighth annual celebrations in this capital. I want to thank the Council of Canadians with Disabilities and many other organizations for driving this agenda and ensuring we can advance the state of affairs toward full inclusion for all people living with disabilities.
Today is a day to recommit ourselves to take action and that means ensuring that the UN Convention on Rights for Persons with Disabilities is ratified by our country. We applaud the fact that the government today took a first step toward doing that by tabling a document. I think you will find, Madam Speaker, that there is probably unanimous consent by everyone in the House to ensure this document is passed immediately and sent to New York to complete the ratification process.
This is a day of which to be proud. It is also a day to stand up and fight to ensure full equality for people living with disabilities.

Nina Grewal Fleetwood—Port Kells, BC
Madam Speaker, the safety of our children is our government's top priority. Since taking office, we have been delivering results to keep our families safe. We are putting law-abiding families first and criminals behind bars.
However, the Liberals and their weak leader have held up and watered down our legislation. Liberal senators stalled stiffer sentences for drug dealers who target kids. They tried to gut our two for one sentencing bill.
Now Bill C-6 languishes in the Senate. This bill would modernize product safety laws that have not been updated in forty years. It would bring us more in line with American and European standards, and protect the most vulnerable, including our children. However, the Liberals are working against these measures by stalling them with their unelected Senate majority.
This bill has been in the Senate for six months and before committee for two months, but Canadians are still waiting. The Liberal leaders come and go, but the dithering and failing never change. Canadians deserve better.

Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the special delegation of the judicial committee and law committee of the national assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam who are here on Parliament Hill today and tomorrow.
The purpose of their visit is to enhance their understanding about the justice system and legislative process in Canada, with specific emphasis on the role of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, the codification of laws, as well as commercial arbitration and execution of a criminal judgment.
This occasion also provides parliamentarians an opportunity to share information, discuss issues of mutual concern, and strengthen our bilateral relations.
The Canada-Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Group plays an important role in the development of parliamentary relations between Canada and Vietnam. It is important that we continue to nurture and strengthen our diplomatic relations, which are now 36 years old.
I am delighted that they are here today. Colleagues from all parties attended a working lunch which was very productive.

Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Madam Speaker, just last week a Canadian company recalled over two million baby cribs. It was the largest ever such recall in North America. This is exactly the kind of occurrence our government is trying to prevent.
Recently, Health Canada introduced a bill with the intent to protect the public by addressing dangers to human health and safety posed by consumer products, like these cribs, in Canada.
Bill C-6 was passed unanimously by elected officials of this House. Currently, however, the bill is being delayed and potentially gutted by Liberal senators.
Why is it when the House passes a bill unanimously, the Liberal members of the Senate hold it up? Where is the leadership in the Liberal Party? Why is the Liberal leader not stepping in to ensure Canadians have the protections provided by Bill C-6?
Our children deserve no less.

Claude DeBellefeuille Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I pay tribute today to a farm family in Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague in my riding of Beauharnois—Salaberry, the family of Roch Montcalm and the late Corona Maheu.
On December 2, they were named the farm family of the year by the Fondation de la famille terrienne at the UPA annual general meeting.
The Montcalm farm, established in 1922 by Joseph, Roch Montcalm's father, is a dairy farm with 150 of its 300 Holstein cows producing 11,000 kilos of milk per year.
The Montcalm family has passed down its love of the land through four generations. Theirs is a model of farm management that is efficient and environmentally friendly. They are very involved in farmers' unions and their community. I am very proud of this family and I wanted to officially congratulate them.
Economic Action Plan

Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Madam Speaker, yesterday, our government presented its fourth report on the implementation of the economic action plan. Just 10 months after the implementation of the economic action plan, the government has already committed 97% of the funds announced, for a total of 12,000 projects throughout the country, including 8,000 that are already underway.
Our government is taking action for Quebeckers and Canadians. From coast to coast, projects are underway, jobs are being created, and communities are reaping the benefits. Here are some more measures from the economic action plan: we have lowered taxes for Canadian families and businesses; we have helped workers with additional employment insurance benefits and training; we have invested in research and higher education.
The effects are positive and encouraging. Canada's economy is stabilizing and has started to recover.
We are continuing to move full steam ahead with our economic plan.

Madam Speaker, December 3 marks the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
This observance promotes a fuller understanding of disability issues and the human rights of persons with disabilities. The day provides an opportunity to work toward the goal of full and equal enjoyment of human rights and participation in society by persons with disabilities, established by the world programme of action concerning disabled persons, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1982.
This year's theme, "Empowering persons with disabilities and their communities around the world", recognizes the tremendous potential of the new Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a mechanism for the empowerment of the global disability community.
In my riding of Ottawa South, I continue to be inspired by dynamic, positive community leaders, and advocates for the disabled as they work together to ensure the full participation in society of persons with disabilities. It is simply an honour to rise to speak on their behalf on this important day.

Madam Speaker, today we received more good news for the Canadian economy.
Following meetings between our Prime Minister and the premier of China, a number of important agreements have been reached with the Chinese government in terms of Canadian pork, climate change, cultural exchanges and approved destination status.
Approved destination status will open the door to more Chinese citizens who wish to visit our country. It allows us to market our unique and beautiful country as a top destination to one of the largest outbound tourist markets in the world. The UNWTO reported that by 2020, China would have around 100 million outbound tourists annually.
In 2010 we will be showcasing Canada to the world with the Olympic Games, and the G8 and G20 summits. The approved destination status agreement will help Canada further capitalize on these opportunities and bring more tourists from China to visit our hotels, restaurants and attractions.
This is another example of our Prime Minister representing Canada on the world stage and strengthening our economic ties with this important market.

Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canwest executives paid themselves $10 million in bonuses while cutting off severance to laid-off workers.
The Nortel fat cats skimmed off $45 million this past March, and then hoovered down another $7.8 million in bonuses as a Christmas gift to themselves. Meanwhile, Nortel pensioners have been left out in the cold.
Abitibi pensioners are crying for help.
Where are the Tories? They are nowhere. Of course, we will hear Tory MPs attacking and insulting the homeless, but when it comes to standing up to executive privilege, it is the old boys' club. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Say no more.
The New Democrats say it is time that we put pensioners, not executives, at the front of the line when companies go bankrupt. We are calling on all parties to work with New Democrats to protect pensions, to get rid of these fat cat bonuses, protect pensions, protect disability pensions, and pay severance to laid-off workers.
The Economy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Prime Minister and the finance minister delivered our government's latest economic report to Canadians.
Canada's economic action plan is stimulating the economy, creating jobs for Canadians, and protecting those hit hardest by the economic downturn.
Just 10 months into our two year plan, our government has already committed 97% of our plan, adding up to 12,000 projects across the country. Eight thousand have already begun.
Our efforts are having a positive effect and communities across the land are seeing the benefits.
The OECD recently projected that Canada will have the second strongest growth among G7 countries in 2010 and the strongest G7 growth in 2011.
While our economy is recovering, it remains fragile. We will remain focused on fighting the recession and on helping Canadians.
We know that the opposition will throw mud and smear our accomplishments, but we will not be stopped from delivering on our promises. We will stay the course and fully implement Canada's economic action plan.
Montreal Canadiens

Mr. Speaker, right now and over the next few days, the Montreal Canadiens hockey team is celebrating its 100th anniversary. This team has aroused the passion of Quebeckers on more than one occasion, whether due to its great rivalry with the now defunct Nordiques, or because of its 24 Stanley Cup victories, which is still an all-time record.
Quebec's love affair with hockey is nothing new. During this 100th anniversary, Quebec is proudly commemorating great legends like Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur, and so many others, who were closely watched by all their fans during their glory years.
The history of the Habs deserves to be commended as a model of pride, talent and success. On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I hail this anniversary with full confidence in the future of the sport in Quebec.
Status of Women

Lise Zarac LaSalle—Émard, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 25 to December 6 are days of activism against gender violence. The purpose is to condemn all forms of violence against women.
We would be remiss if we failed to mention the fact that the Conservative government has been victimizing Canadian women by eroding the progress they have made.
Since coming to power, the Conservatives have mounted a constant assault against women. They have cancelled agreements with the provinces on preschool education and daycares, hindered the movement toward pay equity, gutted the court challenges program, reduced funding for literacy programs, silenced women's groups seeking equality and ignored the criticism of international groups.
The Prime Minister even went so far as to call everyone participating in the fight for women's equality "left-wing fringe groups".
It is high time the government stopped treating women, who make up more than half of the Canadian population, like a special interest group and started giving them the power and the tools they need to advance their cause.
Consumer Product Safety

Scott Armstrong Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, under the weak leadership of their leader, Liberal senators voted to amend 16 clauses of our consumer protection bill, Bill C-6. This has made the bill dysfunctional and considerably weakens it.
Canadians, many of them parents, have less protection today thanks to the Liberals. While they are shopping for gifts to put under the tree, they can thank the weak leadership of the Liberals for making sure the bad actors, those people who normally sell bad products, are the winners in this. Shame on them.
The bill was designed to give us the tools to quickly respond to dangerous consumer products. Instead, the Liberals have given the devious the tools to keep selling these products to Canadians. The Liberal leader needs to wake up and lead his party, not follow it. He should wake up and instruct the Liberal senators to vote against these amendments and pass this bill.

Dunkirk athletic director position still vacant
The Dunkirk Board of Education had hoped to fill the vacancy for the athletic director by its meeting Tuesday, however that did not happen.
Superintendent Gary Cerne said the board is still working on hiring an athletic director. He said it plans to fill the position by the next meeting.
"We plan to have that in place by the next meeting," he said.
The former athletic director, Alan Gens, was appointed as the full-time assistant vice principal at the high school after the board abolished the two part-time assistant principal positions. Gens was also appointed part-time director of community education.
"Al has done a wonderful job as athletic director and he wants to work more with children so he is going to move into the other position of full-time assistant (principal). But he has done a fantastic job as athletic director through some hard times when we had both the gyms shut for construction, we played the whole basketball season on the road, through the football construction, he did a great job of moving things around," Cerne added.
David Boyda was appointed as the part-time director of physical education, not to be confused with the athletic director.
"That is overseeing K through 12 physical education, its a mandate from the state every district has to have one. The requirements are you have to have a physical education teaching certificate and an administrators certificate. Mr. Chris Bulger used to do that for us and he left to move south. So we asked Mr. Boyda to take over on a part-time basis," Cerne explained.
The board also appointed Gretchen Weidner girls' JV softball coach, William Thiel, Jerome Moss, Mario Muscarella and James Quinn varsity football assistant coaches, Phil Cook varsity girls' soccer head coach, Kim Delgado varsity girls' volleyball head coach, Michelle Poweski girls' JV volleyball coach, Julie Troche varsity football cheering coach, Michael Jackson unpaid varsity football assistant coach, Eric Gloss unpaid varsity baseball manager and Brian Crawford unpaid varsity baseball assistant coach.
Risel Alfaro was appointed Hispanic outreach coordinator at a rate of $17,242 and L. Vanessa Escobar was appointed Title III bilingual educational service provider at a rate of $31,065, both contingent on passing civic service exams.
Teacher salary advancements for completion of graduate work were approved for Technology Teacher William Smock from $45,343 to $46,615, Business Teacher Alan Buckley from $41,755 to $44,045 and Science Teacher Nathan Slate from $41,235 to $43,843.
Renewal of contracts for Confidential Executive Secretary Tracy Ossman and part-time Confidential Executive secretary Barbara Thompson were approved by the board.
The board also recognized the late Eleanor V. Kubasik and the late Loretta Bradley for their service to the district.
The board will next meet March 14.

Share Your Reflection

My family just finished watching your conversation with
My family just finished watching your conversation with Dan Barber. Thank you for bringing it to us! Last spring, we had the privilege of eating at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Krista, Rabbi Sandy Sasso was right when she said the food, and the experience, is really beyond words.
Once before, when I was in college, I went home with a classmate of mine and his parents prepared a meal that was completely "of the land". His father had killed the deer that provided the venison, and the potatoes and carrots and corn and salad greens were from the family land. I recognized then (30 years ago) that this meal provided not only nourishment, but a profound spiritual connection with the land.
In a similar way, a trip to Blue Hill at Stone Barns allowed us to experience that connection. One of the dishes consisted of an egg, likely freshly laid hours before, with some greens and other seasonings. When I tasted it, tears came to my eyes, it was so...well, "delicious" doesn't begin to do it justice, and the experience was beyond words. Really, you have to experience it. I would very much urge you, when next you are in the New York area, to dine there if at all possible. It is a transcendent event (also very expensive, but completely worth it!)
Thank you and your staff for all you do. Your show is consistently outstanding.

This guy has some good ideas and is acting on them. Let's find ways to help people connect with healthy sustainably and humanely grown/processed food- and have FUN doing it, and great pleasure eating it!!

Collie History
- The collie originated in Scotland in the 1800s. Its rootstock is unknown but it may have been derived from the same ancestors as the border collie.
- At that time both rough and smooth coated versions of the breed, first called Scotch collies, existed. The smooth coated dogs drove the sheep and the rough coated dogs stayed out with the flocks.
- Queen Victoria, a purebred dog enthusiast, became enamored of the collie and added her first to her kennel in 1860. Her involvement with the breed caught the interest of other dog fanciers and of upper society people who wanted the same breed as the Queen's favorite.
- In 1886, an official breed standard was drawn up.
- Collies came to America both as working sheep dogs and elite pets.
- Author Albert Payson Terhune attracted more pet owners to the breed through his stories of his Sunnybank collies in the 1920s and 30s.
- Lassie movies and television shows cemented the breed's reputation as a family dog.
- The smooth collie has never shared the popularity of the rough collie.
Collie Behavior Concerns
- Makes a gentle and devoted companion.
- Playful and very good with children
- Good with other dogs and pets.
- Does best with reward-based training involving games, food or praise.
- Learns quickly, and is eager to please.
- Overly enthusiastic barking can be a problem.
Collie Suggested Exercises
- Makes a well-mannered housedog, given adequate exercise.
- It needs a long walk, good run or energetic play session every day.
- Does well in dog parks.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
- Collies enjoy cold weather, but cannot live outside in it.
Collie Grooming
- Coat of the rough variety is long, thick and harsh. It requires a good brushing session once or twice a week.
- Coat of the smooth variety is short, hard and flat. It requires a brief brushing once a week.
- Shedding is average to above average.
Suggested Collie Nutritional Needs
- Collies tend to stay in good weight.You must feel under the coat to make sure the dog is neither too thin nor too fat.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.
