Sozo Nutritionals, a leading provider of natural weight loss supplements, has released a new dietary supplement that is clinically proven to aid in healthy weight management.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 28, 2012
Sozo Nutritionals, a leading provider of natural weight loss supplements, has released a new dietary supplement that is clinically proven to aid in healthy weight management. This new product includes Svetol® a patented source of Chlorogenic Acids that has been heavily researched and clinically proven to support natural weight management. Clinical studies of Svetol® have also shown that Svetol® supplies the highest level of metabolism of Chlorogenic Acids of any known source. Numerous recent studies of Chlorogenic Acid have shown its ability to limit dangerous after-meal glucose surges and thus assist with weight loss. In addition, Chlorogenic Acids are powerful antioxidants that are also being researched for their potential benefits in moderating cholesterol levels.
Sozo Nutritional's new Svetol® powered supplement comes in a convenient 90 Capsule bottle with a recommended dosage of 1 capsule three times per day. This makes Sozo's product a full 1 month supply unlike other products which require multiple bottles per month. This represents a significant value for the consumer. Sozo Nutritional's President, Brandon Larson, states, "We wanted to provide a competitive alternative to set our product apart and we did that by increasing our capsule count and yet still keeping out MSRP below $1 per day, unlike most of our competitors that sell a 30 or 60 capsule bottle which requires multiple bottles per month to be effective." Futhermore, Sozo's Svetol® supplement contains no fillers, additives, synthetics, or junk ingredients.
Svetol® is virtually caffeine free, contains no Cafestrol and Kahweol and has been extensively researched. It has been standardized to provide a guaranteed 50% Total Polyphenols, 45% Chlorogenic Acids, 10% 5-Caffeoylquinic Acid and less than 2% Caffeine. Svetol® is a registered trademark of Naturex S.A.
Currently, Sozo Nutritional's Svetol® supplement is available on their website, Sozo Nutritionals Website, as well as on major online retailers like Amazon.com and Buy.com. For more information please contact Sozo Nutritional or visit them online.

Boys basketball: Flower Mound rolls in pool play
By Justin Thomas,
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 11:48 PM CST
Flower Mound's boys basketball got out to a hot start Thursday in its second game of the Marauder-Jaguar Classic, scoring 25 points in the first quarter against Irving Nimitz.
The Jaguars (10-3) then clamped down on the defensive end, limiting the Vikings (5-4) to just nine points in the second quarter. The result was a 43-27 halftime advantage that Flower Mound carried throughout en route to a 76-50 victory.
"We played really, really well," said Jason Fossett, Flower Mound head coach. "We shot well. We defended well. We came out and did what we needed to do and I was very pleased. That was a team that made the playoffs in Class 5A last year."
The Jaguars were particularly effective from the perimeter, with Brandon Langley, Jacob Feickert and Justin Gammill combining for eight 3-point conversions, including four from Langley and three from Feickert. The former finished with a team-high 21 points, while the latter had 19 and Gammill chipped in 13. Gammill and Anthony Knuf also paced the Jaguars with 11 and seven rebounds, respectively.
"We did a good job on the boards and that led to us getting out in transition and getting some easy baskets," Fossett said.
Flower Mound had a large run in the third quarter as well with a spurt leading to a 19-11 advantage in the period.
Defensively, Fossett was impressed with Flower Mound's ability to slow down Nimitz guard Israel Omigie, who scored 27 points earlier in the afternoon in Nimitz's opening win against Denton.
Omigie scored 10 points in the first quarter against Flower Mound but managed just three the rest of the way.
"We did a good job of mixing up defenses," Fossett said. "We trapped him a little bit and made the rest of the team beat us."
The Jaguars had a similar result earlier Thursday in their opener against Fort Worth Western Hills, which went Flower Mound's way, 65-32.
"It was pretty much the same story as the Nimitz game except that we didn't shoot the ball quite as well," Fossett said. "But everyone played well and it was a great way to start the tournament."
The Jaguars held Western Hills to fewer than 10 points in three of the four quarters and led at halftime, 34-11.
Feickert scored a team-high 13 points, while Langley had nine, Connor Green posted eight and Colby Cox, Gearen Littlefield and Sam Montgomery chipped in six apiece. Flower Mound had nine players score overall.
Flower Mound continued Friday against Denton and opened bracket play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday (results not available as of press time).

Lyons artist Tyler Voorhees will be the featured artist at The Stone Cup beginning this Friday, March 1. His show will hang for two months, through the end of April.
From his humble beginnings in rural South Dakota, Voorhees has always been drawn to the art of storytelling. With his paintings, and the characters that inhabit them, he seeks to spin a visual yarn by drawing the viewer in with the composition, and holding their attention with the details. His mixed media paintings depict jobs now forgotten by the majority of Americans, made obsolete by advancements in technology (which are also hidden in the paintings). These occupations existed a mere century ago, yet they have fallen to the wayside in the collective memory of our society.
If you haven't taken a stroll down Main Street recently, you might be surprised by some of the changes you find the next time you do. For one, the Chubway Sandwich Shop has closed, and will be replaced by an Oskar Blues tasting room where one can sample the latest brews/spirits coming from the brewery/distillery.
Moving west along Main, the Lyons General Store (next to Lyons Pinball) run by proprietor Hanno Jensen for the last nine and a half years, will close this Friday, March 1, and reopen in its new location, 429 Main Street, between Lyons Community Montessori and the Barking Dog Café. Hanno is excited about the move, saying he will continue to be the community's

From the earliest recorded history, midwives have been attending women in birth. In fact the etymology of the very word "midwife" comes from Middle English and means "with women." Before the 1600s almost all babies in the world were born into the hands of the community midwife. Even in 1910, fifty-percent of the babies born in this country were attended by midwives.

That was a nice, much needed snow, with more to come. Maybe we will get some moisture, yet. I don't like the cold weather, but it will soon warm up.

DETROIT (AP) -- Detroit-area McDonald's restaurants are kicking off an art contest in honor of Black History Month.
Area high school students are invited to submit artwork to be judged in the "McDonald's Celebrates Black History Moments on Canvas" event this month. Organizers say the artwork must portray an event, figure or moment in African-American, African or African Diasporan history.
Twelve students will be chosen to have their work displayed in a two-week gallery exhibit at the N'Namdi Center for Contemporary Art in Midtown. The winners will receive a cash prize and be announced Feb. 28.
Gallery owner George N'Namdi says the contest will allow students to document "today's history by expressing their impressions of black history."

Threads, threads
the bobbins in the heads
Am doubting the beginnings
dreading the ends
shall I drink up love's cup to the dregs?
Here I am standing
with the white thread
for dawn to break, to
tell me: "you are right"
would I break the fast
at sunset in that sea
with love dates and glasses of ecstasy?
Or pledge eternal abstinence and see?
Threads, threads,
the black ones and the reds
Emily Dickinson's 'yarn of pearl'
or Hafiz' smiling faces at the deathbeds?
Should Ariadne have supplied Thesus with the thread?
left deserted on the island
found dead
threads, threads
and mine with God cut–
I miss Him so
need to quickly make a knot
and climb to Him
follow the thread
threads, threads,
would my mouth smell of smoke
and my lips taste wine?
Would there be traces
of squeezed grapes?
Methinks I'd want God to check my mouth
then smile and say,
"I am satisfied"

Hmmm... I'm not really into that sort of comic book characters movies, but it seems like a good action flick from what you've just said. Maybe I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD.
I saw Cloverfield. It rocked, although the camera style was a little dizzying at times.
8/10 for the movie.
10/10 for the post-movie fun. Google search "Cloverfield theories" if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Saw Iron Man and later today I'm going to see the Incredible Hulk. Really looking forward to seeing the Dark Knight and X-Files.
Oh yeah, I also saw Indiana Jones. I thought it was pretty true to the original films, and I enjoyed it. I really hope they don't make another one, though. That's just overkill.
i saw 3:10 to yuma it was awesome i loved it ^^
I saw Cloverfield again, but this time on Blu-ray. I sort of regret buying it. I was hoping they'd explain a bit more of the back story, since there was this odd security sticker on it which said "secrets revealed". All I ended up getting was a crappy "Location Identifier" which shows the locations of the main characters, monster, and the military during the course of the film. Talk about disappointing.
The film itself was good, though I wish they had explained things a bit more. Its fun to watch the first time, but on a second viewing it just sort of lags.

I heard a prequel was in the works which I'm excited about Explaining more about the monster and such.
I just watched Cloverfield on DVD. It was...interesting. The main issue is the one I have with every film in this style. There comes a point where no matter how dedicated to capturing the events you are you're going to put the damned camera down. Or at least not hold it as perfectly as possible.
Other than that it's pretty good.
Today i watched the mist and the part where the soldier was thrown outside, i notice that the creature that him looked alike the tall monster in a game called "The Thing" ( really cool xbox game) except only bigger than the game.
Wish I had a Blu-ray player. I wanted to use the Location Identifier to prove to all the conspiracy artists that no, there was not two monsters, there was just one that they happened to encounter more than once. If that's all the Blu-ray version has to offer extra than the DVD though, I don't think it's worth getting a player just for that.
Finally watched cloverfield wanting to see what all the hype was about, liked the film thought it was a bit short, watched Rambo 4 after watching it i was like not too bad but kinda sick and total over the top violence, alot more violent than the first 3 imo.
I went into Rambo 4 expecting a good story like Rambo 1. All I got was mindless action. Quite disappointing. I wish he sent the character off the way he introduced him, with an actual story and not just random death.
I saw Rambo 4 yesterday, it was way too short but I liked it. The action scenes reminded me of stuff I've only read about it in books. Good to see things have progressed since Commando's one shot and fall over lol. Let off some steam Bennett! And yeah life is like that Dot, random death...
i liked cloverfield too but i didn't understand how tha girl had that thing lodged in her neck she was fine after a while :/ and when the helicopter crashed they were ok back there

lol i was kinda creeped out because that's how manhattan life is. but i don't think the statue of lib's head would fly off that far since it's on jersey shores
(statue of liberty does not belong to NY anymore, that's why we had to get rid of our license plates a few years ago and replace it with the empire state for anyone who didn't know)
since the monster was in manhattan it's not like he stretched really far to get statue of liberty and throw it down there : / distance-wise i don't see it happening. with that said i want to go to statue of lib next week
It may have carried it with him and then flung it as he was approaching...
sounds like he just had a piece of paper and decided to litter when he walked a few blocks

i saw the first ten minutes of the new degeneration movie, its got the horror everyone wants, dont ask how i got it =.=

UPDATE: Seven Courts Hit-and-Run Driver Sentenced 18 Months
The Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office originally requested a 10-year sentence for David Grayson French Jr., who has a history of alcohol related crimes.
Ten months after a woman was struck and killed while crossing Seven Courts Drive, the driver responsible has been sentenced. The Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office, however, expressed disappointment at Baltimore County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Cox's ruling, handed down on Nov. 1. The requested 10-year prison sentence for David Grayson French Jr. was reduced to 18 months, followed by four years of supervised probation and 100 hours of community service, according to Michael Fuller, a Baltimore County assistant state's attorney. "I asked for 10 years because I felt the crime was horribly egregious," Fuller said. "The defendant had a prior alcohol related conviction and another alcohol related arrest a month prior.

The term Maoist is a misnomer today (No Red Beacons, May 7). These armed groups are no longer guided by any political ideology. They don't, as Chairman Mao once taught, "place politics in command". Their armed actions lack any kind of vision. It is true they might now be protecting the tribals in some ways from the depredations of vested interests, but their lack of proper perspective and their resorting to mindless violence bode ill for the region affected. Violence in the Indian set-up won't serve any cause, however 'noble'. Those intellectuals in touch with them should therefore do their utmost to wean them away from the path of armed struggle. Otherwise, I fear, very soon these "Maoists" might start kidnapping, drug-running and other criminal activities on a large scale like the Colombian farc guerrillas, who also pretend to be red.
Marudhamuthu R., Chennai
It's sad when an enthusiast and idealist collector (a breed fast becoming extinct) is abducted by Maoists. But it is equally sad when Harvard-educated home ministers feel that Maoists are the biggest threat to the nation and treat them as terrorists. What do you expect the poor tribals to do when robbed of their livelihood for the interests of miners and corporates—start a Dandi march in protest?
Goutam Das, Katni, MP
The shocking abduction of Sukma collector Alex Paul Menon by the ruthless Maoists points to the shocking striking ability and ruthlessness of the Maoists to pursue their violent objectives. The district Collector indeed was a soft target. But the ominous question threatening the common people is if a District Collector is unsafe in the Maoists affected regions how an ordinary person can be secure. The successive governments of all the states in the red-corridor have ignored the threat and have been breast-beating only at times of such avoidable crises. The Maoists appear to be gaining the lost ground very fast with the successive abductions of MLA and the District Collector. The state governments have been appear lambs before the cold-blooded Maoists. The Maoists certainly get unintended advantage over the states during the negotiations to release the hostages. The higher the rank of the hostages, the higher the sops the Maoists receive. This can be a dangerous trend in case the Maoists resort to such a recourse regularly. The immediate concern for the state governments was no doubt the peaceful resolution to the kidnap drama, but the policy makers must not lose time to tie up all the loose ends before it is too late.
Finally Menon was released. I do not grudge him his return from captivity but what hurts me is the fact that two policemen were killed and no one not even Menon has bothered to talk about them. At least Menon should have expressed some sort of regret if not condolence. Can it be said that their sacrifices have gone in vain.
I have no sympathy for overconfident idiots like Menon or those Italians or Hikaka who were abducted by trerrorists. All that they have managed to achieve is that the Government was compelled to release few dreaded terrorists to get them back. Didn't they all know that because of their foolish adventure all that the police may have achieved so far have become zero. Wasn't Menon warned about the threat. And why is it that no one, including Menon's family members, speak about those two boduguards who were killed. When will we learn that Atankwadi Ki Safai nahi Ki Jaa Sakati Unka Safaya Karna Padta Hai.
A MALE ( even a collector ) is not as big a news to the Indian media and society, as his WIFE being saddened by it.
I am sure Arundhati Roy must be proud of her Gandhians with gun.
The term "Maoist" is a misnomer today. These armed groups are no longer guided by any political ideology. They don't, as Chairman Mao once taught, "place politics in command". Their armed actions lack any kind of strategic vision. It is true they might now be protecting the tribals in some ways from the depradations of vested interests, but their lack of a proper perspective and their resorting to mindless violence bode ill for the region affected. Violence in the Indian setup will not serve any purpose however good. Those intellectuals in touch with them should therefore do their utmost to wean them away from the path of armed struggle. Otherwise I have a fear that very soon these "Maoists" might start kidnapping, drug running and other criminal activites on a large scale just like the Columbian FARC guerrillas who also pretend to be "Red".
With these idiotic kidnappings, Maoists are losing the sympathy of the 'intellectualls' of India. It might be helpful for them in short term to highlight their cause but in long term it will make their cause redundant. Once the state will retaliate and people will understand the reason for state's violent reaction, tribals will suffer the worst.
--Despite this, Alex Paul often ignored security norms in his zeal to take government benefits to the tribals of these thickly forested, rebel-controlled parts---
Alex Paul is responsible for the death of 2 police men and his own predicament. He is alone responsible for the imminent release of Maoist terrorists from j il. It makes me wonder how could an IAS officer (supposed to be intelligent) be so naive as to totally ignore the warning of security agencies. All right he might be less concerned about his safety but what matters is that his action has given a chance to the Maoists to secure the release of their terrorist comrades. Life of one Alex Paul is not important compare to the potential death of many more police meant in the hands of the would be released extremist. Government must stop negotiating with the Maoists and use commandos to try to secure the release of the collector.
A district Magistrate on tour, in a naxalite area, with 2 gurads? A common person will make it out that he was there to get kidnapped and help maoists get released some terrorists. But our so called intelligent media didn't question this act of Alex Paul Menon, Why? Now most people know yhe answer of this why. No wonder, he is in line with BD Sharma and Harsh Mander, and may be Aruna Roy (pl don't get misguided with their hindu names).
"Apropos Maoists' sustenance, I think it's time to rehabilitate them by opening an Institute called "SITC – Strategy Implementation Training Centre" and appointing them as faculty of it."
The increase in forest cover is heartening but it does raise an intriguing question about the alternative development model the Maoists have in mind for these areas.

WEST CHESTER Dressed as pilgrims, American Indians and other holiday costumes, dozens took to the borough streets Sunday afternoon wielding frozen turkeys for the third annual Running of the Turkeys.
The one mile race, hosted by the Dave Magrogan Group, tests runners abilities to finish the race while transporting a turkey with them by any means.
Running with a 20-pound turkey is a lot, but its fun and we get more and more families every year, said Dave Magrogan, head of the Dave Magrogan Group which includes restaurants such as Kildares Irish Pub and Doc Magrogans in West Chester.
While the race requires runners to carry a single turkey, some participants such as Brent Ziobro took the race to the next level. Holding six turkeys weighing a total of 84.3 pounds, Ziobro claimed the record of most turkeys carried in the history of the event.
I wanted to challenge myself, Ziobro said.
According to Ziobro, he wanted to help promote the Spartan Race he is training for, an obstacle race that tests the endurance of competitors through extreme conditions.
Our motto is a Spartan gives generously so if I can carry six turkeys and donate six turkeys thats fine with me, Ziobro said.
Starting out in a run, Ziobro took an encouraging start to the race which soon gave way to fatigue as the weight of the turkeys in his hands forced him to hold them closer where they began to bump into his legs before beginning to break through the bags. Refusing to quit, Ziobro pressed to the finish line with all six turkeys as the final participant where he was welcomed by a crowd of supporters.
I think next year I might try for eight but Im going to have to think of a different way to carry them, Ziobro said.
The goal of the event is to collect the turkeys and donate them as part of John Debellas Annual WMGK Turkey Drop benefiting Cityteam ministries in Chester.
Debella, a morning show host at 102.9 FM WMGK, said he began the turkey drop 28 years ago when he saw an ad in the newspaper which said $25 could feed 10 people.
Things across the board are wrong when people in a country like this are going hungry, Debella said. I mean 25 percent of America lives below the poverty line. I cant do anything about that but I can make sure they have something to eat.
Debella made a donation that first year and said he was inspired to talk about it on the radio where he made a quick decision to say they would start a turkey donation that coming Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Standing at 19th Street and Walnut Street in Philadelphia, Debella said they collected about 280 turkeys that year. Now more than 10,000 turkeys are donated each year.
Though the race saw a slight decrease in participation this year, Magrogan said he was excited to see everybody get dressed up and have fun with the event.
Magrogan said what made the day special was a passerby who struck up a conversation with them after the race. According to Magrogan, the man had recently lost his food stamps and was in need of a turkey which they were able to provide on the spot.
We give the turkeys to Cityteam, but now we actually gave a turkey right at the finish line to somebody less fortunate than us and that was cool, Magrogan said.

yes, I agree. The weather and spiritual climate of the world is cold. I truly do believe that we are living in the End Times as foretold in The Book of Revelations.
Thanks for your time and post...
2Ti 3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2Ti 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
I think the OP would mean this passage, which basically is the act of men's hearts will grow colder.

In Illinois, I feel the freeze big time! Illinois basically feels like miles and miles of endless social desert. Nobody in Illinois ever seems to like interacting with anyone outside their immediate cliques. In Chicagoland especially, not only is the social atmosphere very bad, but it even appears that the suburbs are a lot worse with the social atmosphere than Chicago proper. It's like the farther away from Chicago proper I get, the more anti-social the people become. The safer and more well kept a neighborhood is, the more intolerant and even aggressive the locals of that neighborhood are towards anyone who does not live right next door, and in fact, I don't even remember the last time I had ever heard and/or seen any interactions with neighbors in especially the mid and far suburbs of Chicago.
On Halloween 2004, my parents and I went to a pumpkin festival in the small Illinois town of Sycamore, located some 60 miles west of Chicago proper and practically surrounded by miles of virtually endless cornfields. During the festivities which included a parade, I was walking around town and saying "Hi, how are you?" to all the locals, and other than a group of cheerleaders from Northern Illinois University who were handing out fliers for some kind of event at the college, only 3 locals even said "Hi" back to me! 3 locals! And Sycamore's population is well in excess of 10,000 people.
Also, one thing that really pains me a lot is the fact that Illinois women appear to only look for money when they look for a boyfriend/future husband. As if any man who does not wear purple and gold is to disappear. For them, a loving and caring heart, and even physical appearance, come dead last on the list of requirements, even if the man is the most physically attractive guy in the neighborhood.
It is especially shocking and hurtful how fast Chicago's west suburb of Berwyn (where I went to high school) went, in less than a decade, from social paradise to social desert. During my Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, Morton West High School (the high school I went to, 1994-1999) had loads and more loads of friendly, open, very highly sociable, and occasionally even helpful students. Sophomore year and the first semester of Junior year especially were where I was meeting new people left and right. I had tons of fun at Homecoming, Turnabout, Prom, Snowball Weekend, Ecology club, and other great events. Even in summer, there was some relief from isolation, especially at Berwyn's Pavek Pool, as quite a few friends worked as lifeguards there, and that place had some rather nice other lifeguards, too. And then at the end of my Junior year, the last massive portion of nice students graduated, and at the beginning of my first Senior year, I felt the deterioration in the social atmosphere, as the graduated nice students moved away and were replaced by incoming snobby and highly standoffish students. And by my second Senior year, the social atmosphere had even deteriorated to the point where school dances were losing their appeal, I was spending more and more slow songs sitting out with nobody to dance with, and in fact, I ended up with only 2 dances during the Turnabout dance. Only 2 dances within a 3 and a half hour time span, with an attendance reported to be in excess of 500 students! And then of course, after graduation, more nice people moved on from Berwyn, more friends had permanently quit their summer jobs at the pools, including Pavek pool, even more were even avoiding my then-favorite public pool (Pavek pool), and then as of lately, Morton's football games changed for the worse with the end of open seating in the bleachers (students crammed like sardines into a narrow swath of the north end of the bleachers, blocked by school security and forbidden to sit anywhere else, cheerleaders being forbidden any type of contact with boys, and such). And when I was in high school, it was all open seating in the bleachers, students, faculty, parents, and alumni used to be allowed to sit anywhere they wanted to. Indeed, what a difference a decade can make. During my high school career, the general attitude of Berwynians was; "Hi, how are you?" and "Hi, nice to meet you." Today, the general attitude of Berwynians is "Go away!" and sometimes even "Go away before I call the police!"
I was born and raised in Illinois, and lived there the first 20 years of my life..Effingham..if you've ever heard of it. I don't recall folks being like what you described, for the most part. Of course this was a long time ago. Things might be different there now. The friendliest place I had ever been in my life was Louisville, Kentucky. That was years ago tho. But most of them didn't drive too well tho, in which you found out pretty quick when you tried to exit the freeway and these people were on the shoulders, in the grass, etc, trying to get around other drivers who were also trying to exit.
Now I live in Texarkana. There's a lot of folks here like you described in your area.
Some of these people wouldn't give you the time of day, even if you were waving thousand dollar bills in front of there eyes, would be my guess.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that every year, Illinois drivers appear to get more and more reckless and aggressive. More and more of the time, they cut people off, they blaze right past motorists doing the speed limit as if they were standing still, I see more and more Illinois drivers ruthlessly weaving through intersections without any cares for anyone but themselves, even blowing red lights, flooring the gas on a yellow light, and coming within inches of a catastrophic accident. All they ever care about is getting to their destination 3 hours early. In Illinois, it's practically gotten to the point where the courteous drivers appear to make up the minority of the driving population. And in fact, in some neighborhoods, such as in central and northern Cicero, practically nobody shows courtesy towards other motorists anymore, especially on the major roads like Austin Blvd, Central Avenue, Cermak Road/22nd street, and Laramie Avenue.
Even worse yet, it appears that there have lately been some really nasty attituded people working at the Metro Water Reclamation Sewage treatment plant, just south of Cicero in west suburban Stickney. Every time there is a heavy rain, those people appear to deliberately refuse to open the facility's flood gates, causing raw sewage to back up into people's basements, especially all over Cicero's Boulevard Manor neighborhood. In fact, on the morning of July 24th, 2010, when they refused to open the flood locks, my basement flooded to 18 inches (one and a half feet) deep with raw sewage. It took a whole week to clean up the sludge and 2 weeks to get rid of the sewer stench from the basement. The entire basement floor, all 435 square feet of it, had to be washed and scrubbed with bleach and Pine Sol, the medium density fiberboard wall my stepdad put up in the basement bowed and buckled and still retains the buckles today, the washer and furnace eventually malfunctioned and both had to be replaced. The flood did a total of roughly $10,000 damage to the house. Weird too is that just a month prior, there was a storm with a tornado warning, and our basement flooded to about 3 and a half inches deep, once again with raw sewage. And then this past spring (2012) it happened again. It also happened in 2008 as well, and in fact, 2008 was the first time in 11 years that our basement flooded with sewage. Another oddity is that we did not get any sewage when the remnants of Hurricane Ike dumped a lot of rain on Chicagoland. Before 2008, the last time our basement flooded with sewage was on August 16th 1997, when the basement flooded to roughly 5 inches deep.
P.S. I just read the news that Wisconsin's Tea Party Governor has just survived a governor recall attempt. Looks like a lot more people than I thought have grown cold towards the lower and middle class, especially towards people with disabilities, and they care only about money and being rich in it. Looks like Wisconsin is continuing an unstoppable plummet with jobs, services for people with disabilities, medicaid, and much more.
I'm a Sabbath breaker who only works 5 days a week. Oh, and I don't believe in unicorns either.
As for weather, I don't see it. New Year's Eve, I played music at a ski resort. There wasn't a speck of snow anywhere near that ski resort (Kirkwood). As for people getting 'colder', guess that depends on where you are and who you try to talk to. Texas has the friendliest people in the US. The coldest (most heartless) people I've ever seen were in Hollywood.
Weird I guess that the friendliest people I have encountered are in Florida. I have also in fact been to Texas once before, as well as Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Georgia, South Dakota, Minnesota, and of course Wisconsin.
And so far, the coldest and most heartless people I have ever encountered, and in fact, the biggest lack of friendly people I have ever encountered, are in DuPage County, Illinois, especially towards the west half of DuPage County.
On the other hand, it seems that the friendliest people, as well as the largest portions of friendly people I have ever encountered, are along the Gulf Coast of Florida, especially in Crystal River, Fort Myers/Cape Coral, including the Naples Park/Vanderbilt Beach area, and even Key West.

My favorite scripture: Malachi 3:16
"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name!" (Every time we speak of the Lord, or even THINK of him--its written down in a book of remembrance!)
Ya'all Tennesseans come a close second to Texas. I recall driving from Ky to CA in '92, the southern route, via Nashville and Austin. At that time, in Tennessee, I had to hand them my credit card before I could fill up. In Texas, you just pulled the pump and started filling, no card required to start it. Now that's hospitality to total strangers.

Aston was full hence I ended up here. The hotel is old but still a decent and acceptable option. When I was there the gym appeared to be closed and under renovation. Walking to the spa takes you through some dilapidated sections. But overall in Samarinda it is an acceptable place to stay.

I have a two part question that hopefully someone can shed some light on:
1) Is it true that humans of non African descent share a small percentage of DNA with Neanderthals?
2) If (1) above is true, then are we and Neanderthals the same species?
My understanding of _species_ is a population of individuals who can produce fertile offspring. Hence, while a donkey stallion and a horse mare can produce an offspring called a mule, the mule itself is sterile because horses and donkeys are different species, so it can't pass its genes on to the next generation.
My gut feeling is that (2) may still be an open question. Or perhaps I should have paid more attention in biology class.
