Update on me: i start school in august, going back to church soon, & im still married. Getting married is easy but honestly staying married is the task ! Dont get me wrong i LOVE being able to be with one person who proclaims to love & appreciate me, but its the trials that makes things rocky. You find out things about your partner that was hidden while you were dating and lies that were told and sometimes you feel a world of emotion because you dont know whether to bring it up or hold it in(different story for a different time). Honestly any couple that is getting married or are newlyweds ....GET COUNSELING !!! it will be needed ! Its a great feeling to be able to express your feelings to your partner in a controlled enviorment with a mentor who isint "playing sides" ...i mean you can talk to your friends about whats going on... Why cant you talk to someone who is more willing to help ??
Anyway ive been dealing with alot personally, but im working on myself... I want to get back independent, im ready to get myself back on track so i know if anything (God forbid) was to happen...i know where i stand... no ! I'm not saying I'm trying to leave my husband and make him feel like he's not needed... but sometimes I feel like things won't get done unless I put it in my own hands & in this way I can find who I am again in the process. I use to love my life now I feel like I'm just "here", somebody to occupy time. I'm excited for the change I'm trying to make I realize people who mean the most me either lie to me to keep me around..or they just tell me what I want to hear not to loose me and hurt my feelings ... idk but I'm ready for much needed chance .. going back to school & church is a start...now on to looking for a job ! Oh yeah I'm going back to the gym every so often too !! I'm loving it..I'm a great girl & I don't need anybody to tell me that.. the only thing that will hold me down is if I get knocked up... I'm definately dodging that bullet !! I'm not trying to slow down for nothing ... bout to hit my 20's I have a life to live !!!.... toodles (just thought you should know about my updates) :o)

Come on, admit it, you know you do it too! Every now and then (or more frequently than that) i get the munchies. I start with one bite, followed by another and then, a few more. Next thing i know, i'm staring at an empty plate. But while taking pleasure in eating which others may find monotonous, I, too, happen to be a firm believer of health and wellness. For the record, I was once a vegetarian, (but that was a lifetime ago) and now I do mind what I eat. Not that I count calories (how fun is that?) but like everybody else, I am guilty of binging occasionally. Can you blame me? I love food as much as I love life! Whatever the reason for "binge-ing" I say, relish every bite, every crumb and every drop of it – it is more sublime than you think.
In an effort to eat healthy, i try to cook at home more often instead of calling for delivery or take-out like how most New Yorkers are known to do (seriously, I can sympathize and relate at the same time). Despite my busy schedule, I have solemnly and willfully pledged to spend more time in the kitchen, cooking, baking and discovering new things. My mission: to master the art of cooking, bake a cake, share recipes, put in ideas to family and friends who want to spice up their meals from day to day.
So let's get started!
From a tiny shack in Queens, New York, my name is Theresa, your hostess in a culinary adventure that knows no limits, no boundaries. So please follow me and welcome to my blog!
Meet the man behind-the-scenes, the web designer and troubleshooter, my partner in crime. Photographer par excellence (oftentimes dishwasher too. Eat your heart out, Mr. Maytag). Kick starter and cheerleader, I've known him since kindergarten (yes, that far back). Folks, presenting the object of my affection, a.k.a the man I call el esposo, my lover, my friend, my favorite person in the world (drumroll please), the Versatile MR. MARK URI!

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Hans Baldung
Known as Grien or Grun, from his fondness for brilliant green, both in his own costume and in his pictures, a vigorous and distinguished painter, engraver, and draughtsman on wood, b. at Gmund, Swabia, about 1476; d. at Strasburg, 1545. Baldung was a lifelong friend of Dürer and received a lock of the latter's hair when he died. Dürer influenced Baldung's work, as did Matthaeus Grunewald and Martin Schongauer. His portraits, when unsigned, have at times passed as the work of that greater master, Dürer. An exceptional draughtsman and a good colourist, Baldung's work is marked by an original and fertile imagination. He is thought to have worked with Dürer at Nuremberg for two years, assisting him and painting under his eye the copies of "Adam and Eve" now in the Pitti Gallery at Florence. He became a citizen of Strasburg in 1509, and was made senator the year of his death.
Baldung spent seven years at Freiburg in the Breisgau, where, in a monastery, is found his most famous work, an altar piece, the central portion showing "The Coronation of the Virgin", the wings bearing on the inside the Apostles and on the outside four scenes from the life of Our Lady. Two altar pieces in the Convent of Lichenthal, near Baden-Baden, are assumed to be his earliest works. Baldung's paintings are chiefly in public galleries at Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Stuttgart, Prague, Darmstadt, Basle, Karlsrughe, Aschaffenburg, and Frankfort. In the Berlin Museum are "Christ on the Cross" (two pictures), a triptych "Adoration of the Kings", with saints on the interior and exterior of the wings, and "The Stoning of Saint Stephen"; in the Munich Pinakothek, the portrait of his friend, Margrave Phillipp Christoph of Baden; at Vienna in the Museum, the "portrait of a Young Man", and a portrait of himself in green; in the Academy, a "Holy Family"; in the Liechtenstein Gallery, "The Ages of Man in Six Female Figures", and a "Madonna"; in the Schonborn Gallery, "Adam and Eve".

Right off, special thanks to all those who made their presence known – standing for Life yesterday (Sunday, 10/26/15). Here in our locale, we had a seemingly stronger turnout than last year. Great job!
So. Watch video below (The subject conversation is disturbing, but there are no images in this video).
You decide. Does this most recent video conversation with Planned Parenthood seem like the conversation is:
Out of context?
Edited to make it sound a certain way?
You decide.

Every night I sit down to quilt away on my 'Oh So Blue' quilt thinking,,,tonight is the night I will finish quilting it.
Not only have the Quilting Fairies NOT finished my quilting...
See these last seven rows to be quilted???
Well I think those quilting fairies are adding rows to my quilt when I'm not
looking,,,, it's taking me forever to get to the end!!!
When I do finally get done quilting this blanket, I'm thinking of using this
raspberry color for the binding??
(remember I'm de-stashing so trying to us something
I already have) I love putting on the binding - maybe that is why I'm sooo
I'm still loving this blanket, using the bigger thread for quilting with longer
Kantha technique stitches has been a new experience, but one I'm very
happy with.
Wishing you Spring Thoughts
Sunshine Stitches

Inner Transition - Psychological Lift
Often when we are so busy concentrating on the business of the outer transition we need to make in order to create a more sustainable society we forget about the inner one that needs to travel right alongside it.
It is a lot to take on board initially for many of us moving away from a perpetual growth model we all have become accustomed to using and liking where we have become addicted to fossil fuels and the consumption which has gone with it.
Suddenly to start to think about our carbon footprint, transport use and how we perhaps feed ourselves can bring its own share of trauma. That's why it is important that we have certain processes and opportunities in place where it is possible to take time out and connect with nature or come and talk with others about the transition we are all going to have to make for a more fulfilling future.
If you have a process, therapy, counseling or coaching skill you think you could offer PL:21 connected to the transition we are all going through. We would like to hear from you. Please contact Simon in the first instance.
Simon himself in November 2012 set up the first events connected to the Inner Transition Sub Group and the Psychological Lift it was designed to help people with by offering a meditation in Longtimber Woods to coincide with Global Grace Day and he also instigated a Conversation Café a fortnightly event designed to help people connect with their heart and speak their truth, a very necessary first step in creating the right relationship to oneself before finding it with others and the planet.

Deputy declines appraiser position
Staff writer
The county will have to cast a wider net to find a new appraiser.
The position was offered to deputy appraiser Brian Frese, who has worked in the office nine years, after appraiser Ray Cook resigned for health reasons.
Despite being offered a raise from $41,664 annually to $54,000 annually, Frese on Monday declined to accept, citing salary reasons.
He has been filling in as interim appraiser this month at a salary equivalent to $57,996 annually. In the letter Frese gave commissioners, he said he will remain as interim appraiser at a salary equivalent to the offer commissioners made.
Frese said after the meeting that he was motivated more by personal reasons than by salary. At this time, he plans to stay on as assistant appraiser, Frese said.
"I have no plan to depart currently," he said.
He did say he had received letters from other counties in the region searching for appraisers.
After an executive session, commissioners voted to advertise the job in newspapers and contact appraiser organizations.
In other matters, commissioners:
- Heard a budget request of from North Central-Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging for $18,000 more than last year, mainly in case qualifying employees request health insurance.
- Approved issuing a building permit for property at 140th Rd. and Timber Rd.
- Heard a report that Motorola will provide two-year, zero-interest financing for the county's upgrade to trunked 800 mHz radios. Sheriff Rob Craft said part of the $234,000 cost for 28 vehicle radios and 93 portable radios for the sheriff's office and emergency medical services, plus work on the dispatch center, would be covered by a federal grant. It remains unclear whether county fire districts can purchase radios through the county's agreement with Motorola.

The Age of Quotability
We've always loved to quote from our favourite bits of popular culture. But why do we do it? And what does it say about us? Linguist Lauren Gawne reckons we're in a new age of quotability, where the rise of the internet has accelerated the recycling of pop trends.
And - have computer metaphors invaded our language? Boston Globe columnist Howard Axelrod thinks they have - but as he also finds, new words from technology don't come without a downside.

Embarking on my 200th post, I couldn't be more proud to be in a place of pure and pleasant joy. There have been many times during my writing here that I have been writing from pain, heartache, grief or woundedness. Today, I write with peace in my heart, a peace that I want to share.
I want to share it not just because it is such a grand feeling, but because I want to remind anyone who is going without it that you can experience it again. I have experienced many moments of joy in the last couple of years and shared them, but I also remember all too well what it is like to live a life without it, a life where it feels as if I would never again experience the opposite of pain. There were many of those moments. It is in remembering that darkness that makes the light so much brighter now.
The light in my life is as simple as a song, a moment of freedom dancing in my living room, or singing out loud in the car with the windows rolled down! It is as simple as enjoying a giggle with my children, a moment gazing into the eyes of someone special or sharing a tender touch. The joy is as deep as a feeling of worth and value and as wide as the knowledge that I matter and always have. The joy is present and it is with me, in me and it is in you, too.
My life circumstances aren't all perfect, but the happiness I feel inside even amidst the challenges surpasses the daunting feelings one experiences when dealing with depression. It is true, real and possible. Not every single
moment feels beautiful, but the beautiful moments add up more and more and cannot be taken away by the pain I once experienced. Your beautiful moments, if you aren't experiencing them fully, are waiting for you, too. I know it. I know it like I know the sun will rise tomorrow and shine it's glorious light on us (even if it happens to be covered by clouds wherever you might be).
I am not without pain or stress, but I carry in my heart a sense of light, a sense of well-being. This, I never knew was possible a few short years ago. It has been a journey and I dare not say that I have arrived, but I am walking with the beauty of life, hand in hand. I also walk with the pain when it arises, but rather than run from it or sink into the pit with it, I keep walking until I am through it.
I miss, terribly, the frequency with which I used to write and share life with whoever may be reading. I miss my work as a health activist and the time and honor it was to speak out on behalf of others struggling with similar issues as I have. But I realize now too, that it is not gone from my life. My work is still living and breathing through this blog, previous efforts on other web-sites and social networks and also through the way I live my life. And, for my own indulgence, I can continue this work by sharing with you still, even if it is not as often. This brings me great comfort.
For this 200th post, I want to tell you, my fire is lit. My light is shining. If you have read posts from months and years before when my light was dim, I am here to tell you that the flame has not gone out. I want to tell you because I want all to know that if you are experiencing severe depression or chronic pain from a health condition or any of the many issues I have touched on before, I want you to always remember that there is hope and the feeling that will come to you again, even if in small moments, that feeling is joy. It is possible and I am living, breathing proof.
I cannot thank you enough for walking with me on this journey. 200 posts ago I could not fathom where I would be led and the miraculous and marvelous adventure I would be on, even though at times quite scary. (Aren't most adventures scary at times?) I cannot express my gratitude properly for every comment, every shared thought and heartfelt gesture of kindness and understanding. I celebrate the presence of each reader who has ever visited this blog, because you, knowingly or not, bring me joy.
To the next 200 and to the hope that is in each breath we take!

Ambassadeurs "My World"
It's been sometime since we last caught a new track from Brighton-based DJ/producer Ambassadeurs, who seems to have used the time away from the studio to tour around Europe. The silence ends with "My World," a soulful jam driven by fuzzy, sweeping keys, a variety of 808 drums and percussion, and hypnotic vocal chops. Ambassadeurs' track leans on a few different genres—from trap to footwork—yet settles on none, instead teasing a variety of impulses that transition effortlessly into each other. The vocal hook speaks to the fleeting beats as the lyrics ask, "What am I supposed to do?"

Key Verse: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:1
Two pieces of Irish silverware have been preserved for centuries which give us a glimpse into the history of deity worship. The Gundestrup Cauldron was fashioned around 100 years before the birth of Christ and depicts gods eating and cooking human beings, demanding appeasement from torturous human sacrifice. The second item, the Ardagh Chalice, was created over 700 years after Christ had walked the earth and Ireland had become a somewhat Christian nation. Its design is simple and elegant, and speaks of peace and love. When Christians drink communion from this cup, they are reminded that God sacrificed his body for us and not the other way round. Our God is good.
These two cups show the difference between our God of goodness and love, and every other deities that demand from us. In ancient Israel the people 'started following after other gods' such as Baal who made them sacrifice their children to please Baal, but our God made his own beloved son a sacrifice for our sakes. God is good.
Greek and Roman deities followed suit in the same path as Baal, and people sacrificed animals and humans yet again in large dedicated temples to keep them happy. If there was an earthquake, it was because 'the gods' were displeased and so they fulfilled the bloodlust they required in a way distorted from the path which God showed the Israelites to cover sins until the Messiah came.
1 John reminds us that 'God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.' Everything that is holy, everything that is perfect, everything that is blameless, everything that is fundamentally good is found in God and flows directly from Him. One of the fruits of God's Spirit who works within us is goodness, as we are transformed into his image by drawing closer to this source of goodness. God is good, all the time, and we can rest in his goodness as it follows us day and night as Psalm 23 declares.

Black Diamond Titan Lantern
Prior to completing our portahut solar system, we used electric lanterns and headlamps for lighting. We still use that stuff for convenience and mood, so I'm always up for improvements in the portable lighting category.
Some time ago I tried some supposedly bright electric lanterns I sneaked out of Wally World when no one was looking (yes, let the jeering commence). Alas, the meager light from those junkers is more like the phosphorescence of a single firefly, rather than lumens one can actually use for more than a romantic interlude (not that interludes aren't important, but hey, one eventually has to do the dishes, too). And battery life? More like battery death.
Thus, I was about ready to give up on electric lanterns when I tried a Black Diamond Titan. Yep, bright. Simple switch that when held in dims down smoothly. Excellent battery life (how do they do that?). Top part slides down to collapse for packing, hang loops work well. It even looks nice. Downside is Titan does use D cells, has no stock recharging option, and lacks a 12 volt power jack for automobile or typical solar aux power input. Thus, if you put lots of hours on this lantern you might be wise to purchase rechargeable D cells and a charger. Those quibbles aside, overall this unit is very impressive for the under $70 street price. If you know someone who's trying to get away from gas lanterns for camp or hut, remind them to give the Titan a whirl. Simply put, it works.

I'd sure be interested to know what light source they're using, probably LED's or some sort of fluorescent. If they're using the same Phillips Luxeon Rebel cool white LED's that we use where I work (we make theatre lighting), according to my simple calculations, it should need 3 of them for 360º of output, and at 350mA put out 405Lm (total, each is 135 lumens), which with 4 D cell batts at roughly 8-12KmAh of life, that makes for about 20-30 hours of light (they claim 250 lumens so that figure should be even higher). Can anyone confirm that? If they ARE using the philips LEDs, then you could theoretically crank it up to 960 lumens, which would be like having the sun in your hand 😈 . Although they didn't bother slapping in a charging circuit, that gets really iffy when you can put standard batteries in and blow them up by charging them. You guys who don't mind tearing into $1K boots shouldn't have any problem cannibalizing a 12V NiMH charger and a $70 lantern eh? If someone wants to donate a lantern I'll write up a DIY 😉 .
December 28th, 2011 12:43 pm
Nag, a DIY might be very cool. I'll work on making that happen… meanwhile, yeah, it is LED, but I have no idea what. Definitly get very good battery life, yes, 20-30 hours or more. Lou
December 28th, 2011 12:49 pm
Ooo, here's an interesting comparison, the aforementioned LEDs get 135 lumens per watt. A standard incandescent is lucky to get 17 lumens per watt. Does that answer your question of "how they do that" Lou, that's pretty darn efficient lighting. Even an F class STAR isn't that efficient! (man wikipedia can make you sound really smart 😆 , see the chart about halfway down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb )

One thing to watch out for if you're going to get rechargeable "D" cells, is to check the milliamp rating, as all "D"s are not equal. Some are like having a "AA" in a "D"-sized battery.More like a "d". Of course, you'll pay more for the better ones.

Michael, good tip, I wasn't aware of that! Lou

To the Stars Academy
The other day, I was re-reading the list of team members of the To The Stars Academy (TTSA) , to refresh my memory of who was on the team. One of the members is Dr. Colm Kelleher. The TTSA website states that Dr. Kelleher is their "Biotech consultant" and provides the following information:
"Dr. Colm Kelleher is a biochemist with a twenty-eight-year research career in cell and molecular biology currently working in senior management in the aerospace industry. He served as Laboratory Director at biotech company, Prosetta Corporation, leading several small molecule drug discovery programs focused on viruses of interest to the United States Department of Defense. He worked for eight years as Deputy Director of the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) a research organization using forensic science methodology to unravel scientific anomalies.
From 2008-2011, he served as Deputy Administrator of a US government funded threat assessment program focused on advanced aerospace technology. Dr. Kelleher has authored more than forty peer reviewed scientific articles in cell and molecular biology, immunology and virology as well as two best selling books, "Hunt for the Skinwalker" and "Brain Trust." He holds a Ph.D in biochemistry from the University of Dublin, Trinity College.
Note, part of the statement
What caught my eye this time around was the statement "From 2008-2011, he served as Deputy Administrator of a US government funded threat assessment program focused on advanced aerospace technology." This strongly suggests that he worked on the Defense Intelligence Agency's Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program.
I visited the LinkedIn website and looked at Dr. Kelleher's profile, and found:
Deputy Administrator
2008-2012 4yrs
* Interviewed, hired and trained a team of 50 scientists, engineers, analysts, and created the classified security infrastructure for an IC [Intelligence Community -KB] contract to study proprietary advanced aerospace technology and threat analysis
* Briefed government department undersecretary and serving United States Senators on threat analysis and advanced technology programs
* Worked closely with IC to develop and execute multiple programs involving advanced aerospace technology including negotiating and executing multi-disciplinary subcontracts for database creation, physics and engineering analysis and medical science studies
* Led in the creation of all scientific programs and strategic initiatives for the company
* Interfaced with Congressional staff, political consultants, Washington DC think tanks and other organizations in the furtherance of company goals
* COMSEC Custodian and Facility Security Officer for IC latter contract period."
Dr. Kelleher is currently the Vice President & Chief Scientist Environmental Control & Life Support Systems, at Bigelow Aerospace.
Roger Glassel
Swedish researcher, Roger Glassel in his recent piece on AAWSA/AATIP in one section wrote that he had found a person in the Nevada area that had worked for Bigelow Aerospace between 2009 and 2010. More specifically, he was employed "in a interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers studying advanced aerospace weapon system applications including lift, propulsion, control, power generation, signature reductions, materials and armament." Neither Roger nor I have named this individual in our respective blog posts about the AAWSA program. However, this individual is not Dr. Colm Kelleher. I believe Roger Glassel missed Dr Kelleher's LinkedIn profile as it did not specifically mention the AAWSA program.
Statement from a senior manager of BAASS
On 4 May 2018, a piece appeared on the LasVegasNow website titled "I-Team: Documents prove secret UFO studies based in Nevada" by George Knapp and Matt Adams. Embedded in the text was a link to a "Statement from a senior manager of BAASS." The statement included:
"The investigations by BAASS provided new lines of evidence showing that the UFO phenomenon was a lot more than nuts and bolts machines that interacted with military aircraft...The exclusive focus on nuts and bolts machines could be considered myopic and unproductive in solving the larger mystery of UFOs..."
"...One of the major successes of BAASS was in adopting the novel approach of utilizing the human body as a readout system for dissecting interactions with the UFO phenomenon...The evidence was multiplying that the UFO phenomenon was capable of manipulating and distorting human perception and therefore eyewitness testimony of UFO activity was becoming increasingly untrustworthy..."
"...The approach aimed to bypass UFO deception and manipulation of human perception by utilizing molecular forensics to decipher the biological consequences of the phenomenon..."
Who was the author of this statement?
Based on the language and content of the statement, it is a reasonable deduction that the author of the statement was Dr. Colm Kelleher.
Update 12 June 2018.
A number of people have pointed out that it is more likely to have been Dr Hal Puthoff who was the author of this statement. I have been unable to confirm who it was, at this point of time.

Full Text of the Excerpt
- At what point would you say your earliest recollection about your interest in politics was?
- I remember very much discussions about the Calvin Coolidge election. Obviously, I was in about the first or second grade. I thought he was down at the courthouse running for something. I wasn't quite clear on that. I remember the Al Smith election very well. I took a very lively part in that. I think I was in the seventh grade, and we had little pencils with Al Smith's head on the top of it and all the other gimmicks and Al Smith buttons. Al Smith didn't carry North Carolina.
- Right. I was going to say, was that the fashionable thing to . . .
- It was in Laurinburg.
- Why was that?
- Well, anybody voting for Hoover was more or less a closet voter. It was still popular to be a Democrat, but I always thought that Al Smith lost because of his prohibition stand. I don't think it had a whole lot to do with the fact that he was a Catholic, though that might have featured in some. And it probably was enough, the two together in any event, nothing else had anything to do with it. It was the traditional Democratic vote, compelling people to vote the Democratic party that had been the friend of the farmer and essential to the party of Reconstruction versus the Republicans. There were, to my knowledge, only two registered Republicans in town. There must have been more, but there weren't many more. One was Mr. Billy Cox, who was a lawyer, a kind of a recorder's court lawyer for the most part, and the postmaster, who had to be a Republican or he wouldn't have been the postmaster. His family lived close to us and very good friends of mine. The one's that are still living still are.
- Which family was this?
- The McLean family, Carl McLean. Carl was in my class, young Carl. He was killed shortly after the war.
- So then to be a Democrat . . .
- You had to be a Republican to be the postmaster. Then he had a brother there, and I never was sure if the brother was a Democrat or Republican, the McLean brother. And that daughter was in my class. Well, people in the church, the Baptist church and the Methodist church were worried about the Pope. People were worried about liquor because the oldest temperance society in the country was in Scotland County, so people were worried about "demon rum" taking over again. And then he was kind of an outrageous New Yorker in addition to all of that, wearing a derby. But a great many people found him very appealing. Obviously, he did fairly well. If you look at his record in New York state compared to the record of governors over the span of this century, he has to come out in about the top ten or twelve. The things that Roosevelt later carried on, Al Smith started. You look at governors who have made a real creative addition. So I think Al Smith would have probably been a very fine president. I didn't know it at the time, but I think in terms of coming into a period when we had to innovate and change and do things, he would have been an extremely good mechanic at that. How he would have inspired people's confidence, I don't know. I imagine fairly well. I think he would have made a very fine president. That's not why I was for him. I was for him because my father was for him, and I thought it was fun.

I Bought Richard Hammond's Underpants on eBay
Posted by Vikki Spence on Aug 11th, 2010 in Edinburgh Fringe Reviews
If you like your musical comedy with a bit of bite, then this show is for you.
Ant Dewson has a big organand he just about knows what to do with it. A Fringe virgin, he is here to enjoy a month off work while sharing some songs and trying not to offend people.
He has the audience laughing right from the start, even those who didn't get chocolate. He talks us through his running order, giving warnings about some songs and describing ones he may not have time to play – at 45 minutes this is quite a short show.
His Twitter song is something special, made from every tweet he's ever posted. There's one song to which the audience can sing along. Any musical instruments you would like to bring are also welcome for this song – kazoos, maracas, cellos etc.
There was a kazoo in the audience on this occasion, and it enhanced the experience greatly.
The songs are clever and well-sung; they are alsoshockingly rude at some points. Probably best to wear ear plugs if you're easily offended. If you like the Doug Anthony All Stars and B3ta.com, you will enjoy this show.

The purpose of the Myanmar Foundation for Analytic Education, Inc. is to support a strong bridging program in Myanmar to prepare bright and highly motivated high school graduates to win scholarships abroad, thrive at college, and return home to help bring democracy and prosperity to Myanmar.
General Ne Win's coup on 2 March 1962 began the isolation of the country and the long term ruin of education. Jim and Dorothy Guyot, who had previously met Dr. Khin Maung Win at Yale, were PhD students doing research there at the time.
After the Guyots returned to the US, Dr. Khin Maung Win sent them Christmas cards without signing his name. Meanwhile he rose to become Minister of Education and then ambassador, resigning in 1988 as ambassador to India. The universities were closed in 1988.
When the universities were closed again in 1997Dr. Khin Maung wrote to the Guyots asking how his grandsons could get an American education. The Guyots ask U Ba Win of Bard College at Simon's Rock to vouch for the meaning of three Distinctions on the Myanmar matriculation exam. Beloit and Wooster offered Yan Win Aung and Yan Min Aung full-tuition scholarships.
At the urging of John Badgley, Dorothy attended the Universities Historical Research Centre seminar in December 2000 with Dr. Khin Maung Win. The three friends decided that other people's grandsons and granddaughters could be educated for a year or so after high school in order to do well in colleges abroad.
The Myanmar Foundation for Analytic Education, Inc. was established in May 2001 several years later, in an era of severe sanctions, was granted a license by the US Department of the Treasury to invest in Myanmar.

For more information, please email email@example.com
"Temple Sukkat Shalom provided us the perfect atmosphere for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. When we decided to do a "destination Bat Mitzvah" we were looking for an informal, friendly congregation which would allow us to craft a ceremony that was meaningful to our family. Temple Sukkat Shalom fit the bill perfectly. The congregation was welcoming and accommodating, and the experience was warm and felt like being with family. The Temple building is adorable and was just what we were looking for – a homey atmosphere in a beautiful destination. We would highly recommend Temple Sukkat Shalom to anyone looking for a great venue for a destination Bat Mitzvah or any other individualized service.

Today's photo challenge was to take a picture of what you wore today.
I love that you can see the dog hair on the floor/kind of on my shoes. It's ironic because I probably always have dog hair on me, so even though the photo was about the shoes I'm wearing, I'm also wearing dog hair 😉 I would also like to say how difficult it was to take a photo at that angle with the timer and prop the camera on something…I finally got an OK shot after quite a few attempts.
Oh and since I'm speaking of shoes, I bought these bad gals yesterday (thanks for the heads up, Lorie!!).
I saw a photo of them a while back online, but never found anywhere to buy them so I figured they were an old style, nope! Brand new. Yay.

TDEC sought funds to renovate HHSP restaurant
While state budget cuts include the prospective closure of the restaurant at Henry Horton State Park, the department that controls that park sought funds to renovate that building and another.
"We made a request for approximately $2.65 million for Fiscal Year 2010-11, which was not funded, to renovate Henry Horton's inn and restaurant," according to Meg Lockhart, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
That work would have been "similar to the upgrades we've made at Montgomery Bell, Paris Landing, Fall Creek Falls and Pickwick Landing," the TDEC spokeswoman said Wednesday while responding to questions about the park and state spending.
The state did, however, appropriate nearly $1 million for almost 400 acres north of the campgrounds on the north side of the Duck River. That money was appropriated well over a year ago as authorized by the state Building Commission.
Meanwhile, work is being conducted to rebuild restrooms and bathhouses at the campgrounds.
"Due to the efforts of our park staff, the two bathhouses at Henry Horton campground have exceeded their expected life cycle," Lockhart said. "One bathhouse was constructed in the mid 1960s and the other in the early '70s. However, both bathhouses have structural and foundation issues that make renovation impractical."
Since renovation was impractical, the result of the new construction had to make the buildings comply with the Americans with Disability Act, ADA, she said.
"Neither of the existing buildings could be retrofitted to be ADA compliant.
Construction began on a replacement project in February, she said. The maximum construction cost of both bathhouses is $520,000, which will include demolition and total re-builds. Both bathhouses also will be made ADA accessible. So the campground can continue to operate, construction on each new bathhouse will be done one at a time. The contractor who is handling this project is TG Constructors based in Brentwood.
The project was funded and approved by the State Building Commission in Fiscal Year 2007-08, she said.

Restraining and Protective Orders in Divorce Cases
After a petition for divorce has been filed, the court may issue temporary orders that regulate the behavior of spouses while the divorce is pending. A temporary restraining order may be issued by a court without a hearing. This order would be effective immediately and will remain in effect for a short period of time, typically no longer than 14 days unless extended by the court. Temporary restraining orders are used to protect and preserve property owned by spouses until a hearing can be set and held. These orders could prohibit one or both spouses from intentional communication with each other, threatening each other, harassing each other, causing injury to each other, causing injury or harm to involved children, removing or destroying property, and others.
A temporary injunction, which would stay in effect longer than a temporary restraining order, may be issued by a court after each spouse has been notified and a hearing has been held. This injunction imposes similar restrictions as the temporary restraining order, but can remain in effect throughout the legal divorce process. The court may also issue protective orders in situations involving family violence. Protective orders are intended to protect all involved parties from family violence. Family violence is classified as an act or threat by a member of a family against another member intended to to cause harm, or threaten harm. Individuals who violate protective orders are subject to arrest and often jail time. If you or a loved one are in need of a protection from abuse order, contact us today, we can help you.

The International Centre for Endoscopic Surgery (CICE) was created in 1990 by Professor Maurice Antoine Bruhat to respond to the joint challenge of the evolution of surgical techniques and new imaging technologies.
The major innovation represented by the development of laparoscopic surgical techniques has led simultaneously to a strong demand for training. Recognized leader in this new minimally invasive surgery in gynaecology, the Clermont team felt the need to implement an experimental simulation centre dedicated to education alongside its clinical activity.
The CICE provides formal lectures and also a practical introduction to advanced techniques aimed at interns, chief residents/registrars and also the most experienced surgeons, along with anaesthetists and operating room nurses. Practical assessments are also important.
The CICE welcomes about 1,500 people every year from all horizons, national and international. Its latest generation technical platform is open to other specialties, including collaboration with interventional imaging.
Research and development, evaluation and design of new tools, basic research and the creation of multimedia teaching aids count among the CICE's many other activities. .
Thanks to its partnership with the University hospital services, the CICE is able to welcome foreign practitioners for short or long stays.

Potential home buyers with young children are a unique kind of client with different needs. Many young families have a long list of items on their checklist but not a lot of zeros in their budget. Consider the following tips on how to sell a home to a young family in the Columbus area:
Be aware of the daily needs of young parents and feature these items during a walk through. Highlight open floor plans that will allow parents to get dinner on the table while also having a line of sight with young children playing in the family room. Point out areas of the kitchen that would streamline breakfast for kids heading off to school. Draw attention to bathrooms that have two sinks to make daily brushing less chaotic. Mention large bedroom closets that will hold not only a lot of clothing but also provide storage for toys.
Young families in the Columbus area require more safety precautions with little ones toddling around. Make sure to include homes for your clients that already have important safety features like porch and deck railings, a fenced in yard, and locks for doors and windows. Point out these easy to miss items to potential buyers and help them understand the safety that this will provide their growing family.
If a home has a pool or water feature, be sure to point out the pool cover, door alarms, or other safety features that will ease the mind of young parents. Another big plus for young families is the safety quality of the home's location in Columbus. Choose homes that are set back from the street, have neighborhood sidewalks, longer driveways, and enough lawn area to encourage safe outdoor play.
Help your clients understand that affordable homes will also be the homes that need a little extra TLC. Gauge your client's willingness to make these upgrades or repairs before you show the first listing. Ask them if they feel comfortable painting or doing light remodel work in order to save money on the front end of a sale. If a home is lacking landscape, ask clients if they feel comfortable taking care of the lawn or adding plants later on to boost curb appeal. This will help you understand their capabilities as well as show them homes that fit within their budget.
If a client lacks experience in DIY projects, consider showing them homes that will need minimum changes in order to suit their needs. Also, be ready to give your feedback and ideas on a room that needs a few changes here and there. Offering your opinion, and your support in what easy changes can be made, will help clients feel more confident in completing little projects.

The Financial Services Authority has expressed its concern about the rise in phishing scams to a Lords Parliamentary sub-committee, claiming that such incidences are on the rise.
A spokesman from FSA's Crime Team told the Lords that such attacks have risen by a staggering 8,000% over the past two years.
Of course this statistic merely reflects a rise in 'reported' incidents, which does necessarily paint a precise picture of what's going on.
There were 5,059 recorded phishing incidents in the first half of 2006, compared to just 312 for the same period a year earlier.
APACS Head of Security Colin Whittaker told peers that the increase in the volume of phishing attacks was due to banks' success in combating the problem:
"The rate of growth in phishing is down to a number of factors not least that they have been able to industrialise the process by which the criminals are launching attacks."
"It seems people are falling victim to phishing attacks less often which is one of the reasons there has been an increase in the volume of phishing emails."
APACS estimate that £45.7 million will be lost to phishing scams in 2006, compared with £4.5 million in 2003/2004.
However, the true extent of online fraud may be much greater, as banks and other online financial institutions are often reluctant to reveal the true extent of online fraud, through a mixture of fear of discouraging the public from banking online, and a lack of confidence in the police's ability to deal with such threats.
The FSA's head of financial crime Philip Robinson told the committee that online banking organisations need to be more 'open and transparent' in order to maintain public confidence in the system.

Hey Bike Partiers!
Until we can work out all the liability and coordination with a Baltimore Police escort, Bike Party has decided to implement a West Coast Bike Party style operation policy. What this means is that we will be forgoing official police ride support in favor of a little more self-sufficiency. What this does NOT mean is that we will party any less, have any less fun, or spread any less good cheer!
Now some of you are already thinking "oh this means we have to stop at red lights again…" You got it! The most fundamental change to the way Bike Party is going to operate in these months is that we will have to behave a little less like one huge parade and a little more like many smaller parties! So if you come to an intersection, no matter where you are in the ride, you need to abide by the traffic signals and yield to oncoming cars. What this will do, in essence, is create a number of mini Bike Parties tracing each other throughout the city and the routes created for these months have been specifically created with this policy in mind.
So how do we minimize the risk and maximize the fun? The key here is to STAY IN YOUR PARTY. When we first get started, we are going to be one large group, that will get divided by the light cycles on the road. The important thing is for those waiting for the next light to turn green is to pack in together. Take up the 2-3 lanes going in your direction. If you make it through an intersection and the rest of your group doesn't, wait on the other side (not blocking traffic) unless you are trying to catch up to the next group ahead of you. If you are at the tail end of your group and can't quite make the light, feel free to wait for the next group to come up on you a few blocks back! If we follow this idea, Bike Party will continue to be a great, fun, celebratory community event, different than any other ride in town.
So with this new plan in mind, here are a few riding rules to keep us all safe!
1) Know the route. If the group ahead of you makes a turn while your group is waiting at an intersection, it's important to be able to know where to go. We will be posting the route earlier in the month along with turn-by-turn directions that you can print out and bring with you on the ride. We will still have ride guides throughout the party, but it's best to have an idea of the route yourself just in case!
2) If you come up on vehicles stopped at an intersection (or anywhere there might be condensed vehicle traffic), stop behind the cars. Think of your chunk of bike party as ONE big vehicle that has to stay behind the cars ahead of it.
Do not begin to filter through the cars. This is a dangerous move in a group. Sure you might be able to cut in front of the car(s) but the 80 people behind you might not be able to. This runs the risk of having someone stuck next to a car in their blind spot when the light changes, and even more so splits your group into 2 with cars in the middle! Just stick behind the traffic and stay together in a mass.
3) Even if you come up next to one vehicle on a multi-lane street, it's best to stay behind the front of that car. You don't know when they may accelerate or want to make a turn.
Don't crowd around them, blocking them in. Let the car have the ability to pull out in front of your group and not be trapped in the middle of the party.
4) Ride ONLY in lanes of traffic going your direction. If we have 2-3 lanes all going the same direction, like Charles Street, feel free to spread out in your group and enjoy the ride. However if there is traffic going both directions, especially on streets with only 1 lane each way, like Keswick, it is EXTREMELY important to stay in OUR lane. Riding against traffic is one of the most dangerous things you can do. It may look like no car is coming at the moment, but someone could turn into that lane at any moment without seeing you. Just don't do it, let's stay in our own lanes and stay safe!
5) Stay off the sidewalks. They are for pedestrians, little old ladies, and kiddos playing hopscotch. There is no need for us to risk barreling over any of them. Even if the sidewalk looks nice and wide, we have enough numbers where it's safe to be in the street, let's leave the sidewalks for others. (By the way, it's also illegal!)
6) If we come up on any police officers that are directing traffic, go with their directions. If they are motioning for us to continue through a red light, it's okay to go ahead. Consider that one a freebie!
7) It's okay to make a right turn on red, but think about the group behind you. If there is potentially oncoming traffic that could split your group in half, it may be best just to wait until you get a green light.
So that's easy enough, right? Stay together, stay behind the cars, and stay on the street in the correct lane. You know, follow basic common sense. If we keep these rules in mind we can ensure that Bike Party will continue to be an awesome event year round.

|Begonia hirtella
|Scientific classification
|Range of the family Begoniaceae
Begoniaceae is a family of flowering plants with two genera and about 1825 species[2] occurring in the subtropics and tropics of both the New World and Old World.[3] All but one of the species are in the genus Begonia. The only other genus in the family, Hillebrandia, is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and has a single species.[4] Phylogenetic work supports Hillebrandia as the sister taxon to the rest of the family.[4] The genus Symbegonia was reduced to a section of Begonia in 2003, as molecular phylogenies had shown it to be derived from within that genus.[5] Members of the genus Begonia are well-known and popular houseplants.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Always A Carolina Girl from Awesome Boot! I love these boots! They are super gorgeous, well-made, and exactly what I was looking for and wanted in my first pair of Ariat boots! I ordered the wide so that I'd have room, and they fit very snug. They feel a bit tight, but they are so beautiful that I don't even care! I know that it will take a while to break them in because it's real leather. My Granddaddy loved his cowboy boots and I know that he would approve of this boot! I know that he's smiling from heaven! Just a warning these boots fit snug. So don't be surprised if they feel tight when you put them on. I can't wait to order my second pair..."The Heritage Western X" is up next!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ljr92 from Basically Addicted! I got my first pair of Heritage Western R Toe boots on my 13 birthday, and am still wearing them today...Like literally right now...and I will be turning 24 in 2 months. I have put them through the ringer too - from country, to desert, to mountains, to city, even to work in Honduras - they've trekked through it all. I have them in distressed brown and black (I got the black for riding my motorcycle in), and just got the red ones as a MA graduation present! Plus, my sister has the sassy brown boots... It doesn't matter which color you choose, you can't go wrong with the Heritage Western R Toe boots.

Buy yourself a pair of these boots TODAY! YOU WON'T BE SORRY! And honestly, these are extremely well priced... You definitely get your money's worth for what you pay. The only caution is they run a half size big, so order a half size smaller than you normally would.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Catamander from Stitching cut through, so rubber's falling apart I bought these as my first pair of cowboy boots about 2 months ago. Yesterday, I discovered that the rubber sole at the toe was splitting into layers. After further inspection, I discovered that the stitching had pulled through the rubber, so it was splitting all across the front, and was beginning to pull apart on the sides, too. For being so expensive, I didn't think structural integrity would be an issue, and am very disappointed because of it. I will be taking them back for a replacement, since they ARE incredibly comfortable and fit well, but if those fall apart as well, I will have to find another, sturdier boot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JSEndy from First pair of Cowboy boots! I received these boots a Christmas present from my husband. I had a done a lot of research before telling him these are the ones I wanted. I finally got a chance to wear them yesterday for the first time and I absolutely love them! I have a lot of problems with my toes and my shoes have to be comfortable, and these were completely and totally comfortable all day yesterday! They are beautiful to look at, well made and comfortable. I know I will never buy another brand of boot of again!! I can wear anywhere between a 9 and 9.5 in boots to be comfortable for me, so I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stormykrista from Loved so much the footbed inside is nearly gone! I've had these boots for about 4 years. I've just about worn the pattern off the soles and the ATS footbed is in need of being replaced. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these boots. The only time I've had boots that fit my narrow, high arch foot was when lace-up ropers were cool. Never have I liked a pair of slip on boots. I wear these to work 2-3 days a week. I also teach riding lessons in them and ride too. They are an all around GREAT boot. Now to figure out how to get a replacement ATS foodbed because these boots still have life in them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Starli Cornforth from RED BOOTS Just bought a pair of the Western Heritage Red boots. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Put them on the first time and went shopping and they were comfortable.I've been an Ariat womanforover 20 years Andstillwearmyoriginal red Ariats.. They've been re-soled/heels at least 8 times and are still comfortable but at 22 yrs of age, a little battered and so the new ones will be my go to town boots. No matter what style of boot I buy, it's always the same size. LOVE that the sizing is consistent.. Ariat is my favorite brand for boots and clog style shoes.

In the past I have used FileVault in attempt to protect files in the event of my mac falling into dubious hands. I find it frustrating on a few counts:
- the root user can access your files while you are logged in
- it regularly asks to reclaim space when logging out, making logging out much slower
On my linux machine I am using EncFS, which is working out well. So I thought I would try and install EncFS via MacPorts. I ran into all the following issues:
- boost 1.34.1 still won't build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
- MacFUSE 1.7 fails to build
- encfs: configure fails
Then I ended up with an error I couldn't find a solution for:
$ sudo port install encfs
---> Building encfs with target all
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_fuse_encfs/work/encfs-1.4.2" && make all " returned error 2
FileUtils.cpp:163: error: 'make_binary_object' was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [FileUtils.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
So I uninstalled MacFuse in MacPorts and used the installer from the MacFuse homepage. After installing EncFS from here and a reboot, I had success.

No this is not about loot, this is about when you actually don't feel like raiding anymore.
Lately I've been wanting to reroll to my warrior, badly. I don't like my hunter anymore, she's a pain to play on Lich King, she's a pain to play in 10 man at all lately. I annoy myself at going oom or having major threat issues (FD get's resisted often enough) and I hate it when I fuck up and come too close to a boss and start meleeing. Especially with the ridiculous huge hitboxes of Lich King and Marrowgar and Sindragosa, it can be a major problem.
One of the things annoying me the most is that people AREN'T DOING WHAT THEY SHOULD. For instance, in the phase transitions on Lich King you have these lovely Icy Orbs Of Doom. If they touch you you will get blown back, often over the edge and die. These orbs spawn at the Lich King and move towards the raid. When you have a 3 group setup the orbs will move to a person in one of those three groups. However the people who stand to the left cannot reach the people who stand to the right, so basically the left and right groups have to kill the orbs on their respective sides. However there are SOME PEOPLE who think DPS is more important than STAYING THE FUCK ALIVE. They don't see the need of dpsing down the orbs and so they die and in doing so WIPE THE RAID. Which PISSES ME OFF! Especially if you got better things to do (study for a test -.-) and these fucktards make you wipe for more than an hour. And then they ASSUME that you AS HUNTER should kill ALL THE FUCKING ORBS because you're a hunter. And because you obviously can't split yourself in 3, you can only down one orb at a time and if you have 2 orbs at the same height one will be bound to hit. And if you are on the orbs you can't dps the other adds so the raid gets overrun with other adds especially if the rest of the dps doesn't know what the fuck to do.
Another thing that annoys me is the retarded way ICC works. Of the 12 bosses in there about 3 or 4 are hunter friendly. Lady Deathwhisper, Festergut, Rotface (if you don't get silly debuff on you) and Bloodqueen. Those are the fights you can really let loose as hunter. On marrowgar you have the silly bone spikes, ridiculous hitbox and bonestorm. Gunship is a stupid fight for all classes, Saurfang requires a hunter to jump back and forth with traps. On Professor there's too much movement and switching to adds. Dreamwalker exists of shooting at some random adds while waiting for the healers to do the real job, Sindragosa puts a stacking debuff on you to the point that you HAVE TO STOP dpsing, not to mention the stupid icetombs. Blood Council is utter chaos where you as hunter are supposed to deal with Kinetic Bombs, and often in my world that means solo dealing with 3 or 4 of them on 25 man. And Lich King… Let's not go there, basically you get to do all but DPSing in that fight.
So if you mix all this together and put it in 2 raidnights, no wonder I get cranky or tired of my hunter. And believe me, with being a trial in my boyfriend's guild (yes I've decided to move) it's a bad time to hate raiding. Especially on a char that is the same class as the GM…

text: This is #4 in the "Simple History Series" and this time the focus is to present in the most down-to-earth, matter of fact fashion, what went down during the Spanish Civil War. And it's a great little A6 introduction. For those who, like me, went to Orwell's Homage to Catalonia as the first port of call for learning the facts, this is probably a more appropriate place to start, sitting somewhere between reading the Wikipedia entry and a history textbook. It's broken up into sections to explain what Spain was like at the time, the rivalries that were taking place, who was who and what group stood for what, then the events, their implications abroad, and foreign reaction to those events. It's refreshing in that, while presumably produced from some left/anarchist perspective, there is no bias or over analysis involved. The pamphlet takes no sides, simply says 'the fascists believed this and they did this' and 'the communists believed this and they did this'. It's just facts laid out straightforwardly to hopefully act as a springboard to delve further into the conflict and what we can learn from it nearly 80 years on. Looking forward to the next one.

Talking of Self Defense
We cannot deny that we live in a violent world nowadays. Just as a predator would hunt its prey, one fundamental instinct of the predator before they hunt is to find a vulnerable pray. They would also use any means that could be an advantage over their prey. That would be by number, place or situation and ability. In other words, to over power their target is the key for a successful hunt. In relation to the people around us, news involving violent acts reported where women are the most likely fell victims by the acts of men. Women are usually picked as their target for by nature, men physically are more powerful than women. In many instances, these violent acts occur by surprise causing women to be in a state of shock and panic resulting to be easily overtaken in such situations. For not at all times that all places are being watched by our government police officers and for this reason, women should be aware of every possibility that such violence may take place at any time and any place. By being aware of this possible event to take place, one most important act to defend oneself is to be prepared.
Many products are now made for women to use to defend themselves. These might be available in any market place as long as it is allowed for there are other states that have rules and restrictions with regard to the use of these self protection devices. These may come in different sizes though commonly these devices should be handy to carry anywhere at all times. However, one important thing to remember is to be knowledgeable about these devices to be able to use this effectively.
One of which is the pepper spray. It is the most purchased device by women for this is legal for most states. This comes in various canister sizes that it even has a size to hang on a key chain. The primary ingredient used is Oleoresin capsicum (OC). This substance causes inflammation by which it becomes effective for self defense for it affects even to those who are able to tolerate pain. Most likely are those drug addicts and psychotics. It is designed to spray on the face of the attacker for it affects the eyes (resulting in temporary blindness) and the breathing pattern (swell bronchi tube when inhaled causing the attacker difficulty to get extra oxygen). Blast of this spray ranges over 8-20 ft. and leaves effect for 20-90 minuets. One disadvantage for this device is it should be sprayed on the attacker's face only.
Another device to protect oneself is the Safety whistle. There is a saying that "if you can be heard, you can be rescued". We voluntarily shout instinctively in times we need help but too much yelling can leave us hoarse and exhausted in a matter of minuets. With just a breath to blow the safety whistle, you can be heard even within a noisy environment. It gives a very loud piercing sound and with this, will definitely call attention of others. However, this device's main use is to rely on others to come and rescue you and that gives the disadvantage of this device.
Many other devices were made for effective use to rescue oneself, especially on women like tear gas, personal alarm, stun gun or baton and other defensive devices. However, these devices also have their own disadvantages just like the pepper spray and the safety whistle. Although one very important thing to remember is to have the presence of mind when encountering such life threatening situations that for this reason, we can use these defensive devices effectively. Nevertheless, as much as possible, avoidance of dark and dangerous places and suspicious people is the best self defense of all.

The NCAA basketball tournament is one of the most popular – and most watched – sporting events in the U.S. With the first wave of NCAA games starting recently, many diehard fans took the day off of work (or class) to go to their favorite bar to watch the games and cheer for their favorite teams throughout the day.
Whether it's a sports bar in a major city, local bars in college towns, or chain restaurants, thousands of watering holes were packed with fans wanting to watch multiple games (some simultaneously) while staying connected to the Internet and social media to track score updates, find the major "upsets" of the tournament, and monitor picks in their own NCAA brackets. (In a March 12 ESPN.com story, the American Gaming Association estimated that 40 million Americans will fill out more than 70 million brackets.)
These games could lead to some huge days for business in the bar and restaurant industry, and many establishments will "ramp up" for these busy days with extra staff, more food and drinks in their inventory, expanded menus and special promotions.
It's also important for these establishments to have the right technology in place – both HD TV and Internet – to satisfy patrons and give them all the games and scores they want. Otherwise, they will walk out the door – quickly – looking for a better option. This is a situation where the combination of HD TV and high-performance Internet is so important to a bar or restaurant's business, and it can lead to not only a record day of food and beverage sales, but can turn first-time patrons into repeat customers.
Enjoy the basketball games!
