ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has announced that professional services firm Ernst & Young is planning to open an information technology center in metro Atlanta.
Deal Wednesday announced the company is investing $8.5 million in the new facility - which will be housed in an Alpharetta corporate development. Ernst & Young spokeswoman Katherine Ratchford says the company plans to move into the building in mid-July.
Deal says the Atlanta-based company will create 400 technology jobs through new hires and relocations. The information technology center will employ project managers, business analysts, software architects and developers, system analysts, executives, managers and support employees.
Deal says the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the City of Alpharetta, the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Development Authority of Fulton County partnered to facilitate the expansion.

Getting To Know... Ekaterina Bychkova
Published October 10, 2005 12:00
BALI, Indonesia - Russia's Ekaterina Bychkova has taken some giant leaps in recent weeks on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. Shortly after making her Top 100 debut on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Singles Rankings in the summer, the 20-year-old stunned defending US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the first round at Flushing Meadows, which would be her career-first victory over a Top 10 player. Although she fell in the second round at the year's final Grand Slam, she surged from No.97 to No.75 in the rankings afterwards.
In her next event in Bali, Bychkova ousted Indian sensation Sania Mirza in the first round before falling in the second round. As the top seed this past week in Tashkent, the talkative, always-enthusiastic Bychova reached her career-first Tour semifinal before falling to eventual winner Michaella Krajicek.
How did you get started playing tennis?
EB: I started playing when I was six-and-a-half. My mother decided I should try tennis; I'm not sure why, because she didn't play herself, but I'm glad she introduced me to it. I played at Spartak club for a while, and that's where I worked with Aleksander Krayshkin.
Did you get to hit with the other players at Spartak who are now stars on the Tour?
EB: Not so much. There are photos on the walls at the club of (Anastasia) Myskina, (Elena) Dementieva, (Dinara) Safina and (Svetlana) Kuznetsova. I've hit with Dinara and Sveta several times, but not with the older players.
How did you juggle playing tennis and your studies?
EB: It was difficult at times. I went to school from 8am to 2pm, then I would go to practice. I missed school from time to time when I went to tournaments, but I managed to keep up with my studies.
Did you travel overseas very much when you were playing juniors?
EB: Yes, I went to tournaments mainly in Europe. I would compete in about 12 tournaments a year.
When was your first trip to the United States? What was that like?
EB: It was when I went to Indian Wells this year. It was great; the weather in California is really good, and we stayed with a family while we were there, who were really nice. I still keep in touch with them. But my first trip to New York (for the US Open) was amazing. For the first two days I was walking around Manhattan in a daze - all the tall buildings, the taxi cabs, the noise and the people. It was just like in the movies; exactly like I imagined it!
Of course you had that great result at the US Open. When you saw the draw before the tournament began, what did you think?
EB: I thought that maybe I was having a little bit of bad luck, but I was looking forward to the match. Sveta and I are both from Russia, and we're about the same age, but obviously she has a lot more experience than me; she was the defending champion! I think that was a bad thing for her, because everyone expected her to win, but I just went out there to try my best and have fun. I thought maybe somewhere back in my mind that I could win. Why not?!
And when you beat her, what was your feeling?
EB: It was unbelievable. As I was coming off the court I was shaking; I was trying to sign autographs and I could barely hold the pen! I think the next couple of days I was in shock. The night I beat her I hardly slept because I was getting phone calls and text messages from Russia all night. It was like I won the whole US Open! I tried to tell myself it was just one match, and after I lost in the next round I was disappointed, but I was still in shock. It was an amazing time.
Do you think the fact that you were the underdog helped you?
EB: Possibly. Like I said, we're about the same age, but Sveta has had more experience than me. We used to play against each other when we were younger, but in the past couple of years she hasn't seen me play much. Of course, I've seen her play quite a bit.
What's your favorite city to visit?
EB: That would definitely be Paris. It's just so beautiful, and wonderful for sightseeing. I love going to Notre Dame, visiting the museums, and the shopping too! I think I know the Paris Metro better than the Moscow Metro! I really like visiting that city and being a part of the atmosphere there.
What goals have you set for yourself?
EB: My goal is to stay in the Top 100, and to keep working hard, so I can get into the Top 50. After that, we'll see what happens.
What types of off-court training do you do?
EB: I do a lot of running and sprinting. I also jump rope for my footwork, and when I'm not at an event I also like to swim.

Did Danny Hendon, the owner of Danny's Car Wash know about a scheme to commit immigration fraud by re-hiring undocumented workers? A plea deal shows new details in the case. In that plea deal, a manager of the car wash seems to be implicating the car wash owner.
You may remember in August when the feds raided Danny' Car Washes from Gilbert to Scottsdale. At the time they said the two year investigation targeted owners and management of the car wash -- but the owner's name never showed up on the indictment.
However -- his initials turned up on a plea deal entered into court this week.
One attorney says it's by design. He says this is what the feds wanted -- the smaller fish to roll over on the bigger fish.
In a 28-page plea deal, indicted Danny's Car Wash manager Oscar Aguilar-Gastelum seems to point the finger at the company's owner for hatching a scheme to re-hire undocumented workers under different names.
He testified in a meeting at corporate headquarters in 2011, someone with the initials DH told him to re-hire employees who had just been fired and not ask about their immigration status.
He goes on to say DH said they could use the staffing provider as a "shield." All through this document, "DH," "DH," "DH."
"Interestingly they don't actually name DH. And that's probably he's as yet un-indicted. I mean, it becomes relatively obvious at this point," says attorney Adrian Fontes.
DH is believed to be Danny Hendon, the owner of Danny's Car Wash.
"And there are other individuals, DH, RS, HH."
Attorney Adrian Fontes represents one of about a dozen managers and lower level workers, indicted for immigration fraud and identity theft by the Department of Justice after a raid at 16 car washes in August.
"It's patently obvious that these are not the primary targets."
Danny Hendon has not been indicted, he's not facing charges in this case. We've reached out to him and his attorneys for comment but have not heard back.
"If they didn't have a decent enough case so far they're building it by virtue of cutting breaks, cutting these deals."
As part of the plea deal, the government dropped about 70 charges against Aguilar-Gastelum. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and faces a maximum prison sentence of 5 years.
"It's going to be a lot less than 5 years for this guy, a lot less and why? Because he's handing them the other folks on a silver platter and that's exactly what the government wanted."
We're told there are more plea deals to come, but no word on if or when other indictments are in the making.

Easily our favorite restaurant in New York City and that's saying something since we've eaten out at many amazing places. My fiancé and I like to split everything we order so we that we get a taste of all the different dishes. The best we've had there are the sliced LI duck app, the famous pork chop, the crispy chicken, and the gravy meatball sliders. Our only issue with the sliders is that they get us too full and there's just so many delicious items on the menu to leave room for. Also great are the bibb and beets and the risotto bianco. You definitely have to make multiple visits to try all the great food there. We're usually too stuffed for dessert but when we do have it, it's rich and tasty. My only concern with writing this review is that the restaurant will get even more booked than usual :)

So I am actually a native west villager and I have witnessed the gentrification change the landscape of my childhood. A majority of the time the businesses do not assimilate well and they usually destroy the aesthetic of the neighborhood. The little owl is an exception to this sad fact of life. I have had a wonderful late lunch- meatball sliders are a must! A foodie friend was visiting and it was the perfect taste of new new York. The service was great and the overall vibe was comfortable. The next time was over the holidays and my boyfriend and I were housesitting/dog sitting and we walked past at @6pm. It looked crowded but he talked to the maitre'd and he said he would hold 2 bar seats for us. We dropped the dogs off and came back. He had given the seats to someone else and felt genuinely sorry. The restaurant was fully booked and he gave us a drink while we waited for a table he made appear. He treated us like VIPs- not walk ins and the service was stellar along with the food. Most restaurants of this caliber would say sorry you asked for a favor and I couldn't make it happen. The restaurant is small and cramped but somehow it transforms into cozy and warm.

When I saw the restaurant on the CBS Saturday Morning Show advertise the "World's Best Hamburger" I was VERY sceptical. Visiting NYC the next week, my wife and I had the occasion to visit your restaurant. The burger was truly the best I have ever eaten, and from a Texan's standpoint, this is a special report. Also, we had the surf and turn tacos which were also supurb, great guacamole. I could not tell from the brunch menu why your are listed as a Mediterranean style place, but I would eat your Southwestern food any day.

This is my new favorite spot. Went there for dinner on a date one Friday night. The staff bent over backwards to make sure we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding... creative, simple and delicious. The atmosphere was tasteful and lively but not overbearing. You could call it light romantic. A good place to bring that special someone or your out of town guests who want to see what a great west village bistro feels like. I'll definitely go back.
Posted by sangermatt on 07/06/2011
Went to the Little Owl during a food tour of the West Village - the idea was to hit as many great places in one day as possible, so we were only eating apps. Had a peach and artichoke salad, meatball slider, and mushrooms and asparagus side at Little Owl. The salad was a bit flat - the peaches were the best part - but the slider was great, very flavorful, nice marinara sauce - and the mushroom and asparagus was fantastic. Slight hints of truffle, different textures from the various mushrooms - really great. One downside is that they don't have a full bar license so they only serve beer and wine - but they have been creative in making cocktails within those limitations - including a bloody mary made with beer that my wife had and loved.
Posted by SDA NYC on 04/26/2011
I live in the West Village and have gone to the Little Owl several times. Okay the food was okay but the service? Talk about rude and stuffy. My favorite is when the restaurant is almost empty and they say sorry no tables available but you can sit on the high perch at the bar so everyone can see that you are not seated... Lame service at best..

First off, to get the negatives out of the way - the restaurant is small, can feel a bit cramped at times, and it is hard to get a reservation when the sun isnt still up. Looking past that, it was one of the best dining experiences ive had in the city. The tagliatelle appetizer is sublime as were the gravy meatball sliders. The pork chop was the best ive ever had and my wife loved the arctic char. Finished it off with root beer float and some light spooning for the perfect evening.

While electric vehicles have enjoyed a lot of recent attention, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have somewhat fallen to the buy branded cialis wayside. Sure, we can build FCVs. Honda has begun commercial production of its FCX Clarity, fuel cell busses are on the road, and there are even hydrogen filling stations being opened in California. But the general sense out there is that hydrogen will "always be ten years away", as I once heard it put (by an EV advocate, it should be noted).
One reason some people feel this way has to do with the problem of hydrogen storage. Because hydrogen's energy density is viagra pfizer online so low compared to gasoline, the equivalent of purchasing viagra a tank of gas amounts to an enormous volume of hydrogen. Fuel cell vehicles today solve that problem by compressing the hydrogen gas into heavy metal tanks. These tanks, however, could use improvement. Much energy is lost simply compressing the gas, and some are concerned about the safety of a tank of highly pressurized, explosive gas .
For this reason, scientists are investigating alternative means of hydrogen storage. One chemist, Tom Autrey from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been experimenting with a compound called ammonia borane (AB), which consists of hydrogen, nitrogen and we use it canada cialis boron – all relatively light elements. When AB is heated, it releases hydrogen gas for use in the fuel cell. When all the http://www.deboerderijhuizen.nl/levitra-levitra AB is "spent", hydrogen gas can be pumped in to www.peseta.org regenerate more.
The breakthrough for Autrey came when he discovered a more efficient way to synthesize AB – something that could make or break a technology's ability to go to scale. He is also looking into ways to recycle solvents in order to make the entire production process economical (and clean).
Other researchers are trying to do similar things with ammonia and metal hydrides. This guy uses tiny spheres of titanium, which hydrogen adheres to. As long as the material is light, hydrogen dense and feasible to look here buy cheap cialis online produce, it is a good candidate. And if we manage to come up with some decent hydrogen storage devices, hydrogen cars may eventually NOT be ten years away.
Via H2Daily
written by G.R.L. Cowan, September 25, 2008
Oh, so it's easy to synthesize AB from its decomposition residue and hydrogen?
(Hint: no, it's impossible.)
The breakthrough for Autrey came when he discovered a more efficient way to synthesize AB
This is a clue that synthesis has been difficult, and thus confirms that the easy method of http://www.chopperssportsgrill.com/online-pharmacy-viagra hydrogenating the residue gets you hydrogen and residue.
So if people were determined to have hydrogen cars, and determined that the hydrogen should come from onboard ammonia borane, they would ship the residue -- which ideally would be boron nitride, an innocuous powder sometimes used in cosmetics -- to power plants, and these power plants would ship back ammonia borane.
Ammonia borane is highly combustible. See my website for an alternate proposal involving boron, but no hydrogen.
written by Doug, September 25, 2008
The real problem is twofold: (1) massive energy losses (ratio of 4:1 or so) in creating the hydrogen, especially from electricity (the loss due to compression for storage is minor in comparison); and (2) lack of existing hydrogen-transportation infrastructure.
Infrastructure becomes less of an issue if you adopt the only here canadian pharmacy viagra generic model of generating the H2 at each fillup point, drawing the energy from the electric grid. But that still leave the huge inefficiency -- an electric car charging at that station would ge 3x to 4x the miles from the same electricity going into the station vs. filling it with hydrogen.
But if battery technology hits a wall in the next 10 years or so, causing a relatively permanent need for hybrid vehicles (especially for large, long-haul motor-driven ones like semi trucks or ocean freighters), then hydrogen may have a role to play as the secondary fuel source, as its inefficiencies are nowhere near as bad as biofuels (well, cellulosic ethanol anyways; I don't know about biodiesel from algae)).
written by Adam St. John, September 26, 2008
This also leads to discussion about efficiency and energy losses as Doug has mentioned.
Some storage methods perform well, but you have heat them to over 300 C. Some methods require cryogenic temperatures. Some methods require chemical reactions. Most are impractical, but serve as good starting points.
My main point is that there are and order cialis site will continue to be many new "discoveries" in hydrogen storage materials, but rarely are the cheap generic viagra online disadvantages pointed out in any general article.

Using that same locally generated solar electricity to charge the batteries in EV cars gets us four times as many cars filled up that week, for a total of price of cialis in canada eight, when what we need is a thousand. Local power generation just isn't going to get us anywhere, unfortunately. We have several desert areas in the country now going to waste however, which probably could use a little shade, and nary a snail-darter in sight.

Just A Guy on Mother's Day
Bruce Sallan: As I'm recently remarried, teaching my boys to remember, recognize, and appreciate their new step-mom is easy. She does so much for all of us, though I'm still the primary parent. Just her cooking and pies, alone, are heaven to us after living on Spam and cold pizza all these years. We'll make her a special meal, get her flowers, make or buy cards, the usual drill.
But, it's dealing with my ex that has been and continues to be the dilemma. However, I now feel that time has given us the answer. When we were first separated, then divorced, even though she saw little of the boys, I felt it appropriate that the boys remember her on Mother's Day (and her birthday), so I took them to the store and we bought or they made cards and sent them to her.
Now, as she's virtually disappeared from their lives, I no longer feel it my duty or obligation to remind them or guide them further in remembering their biological mother. A man I respect greatly has often talked about biological parents, specifically dads, as sperm donors. His notion of parenting has nothing to do with who made the child, but who actually raises them.
My boys are now old enough to recognize that their biological mother has abandoned any participation in their lives, while recognizing their new step-mom has come in, with no experience, biology, or history whatsoever, and given them the love they always deserved. But, who knows really what the right thing to do is, after all, I'm just a guy. Happy Mother's Day to all.
|Bruce Sallan gave up his showbiz career a decade ago to raise his two boys, full-time, now 13 and 16. His internationally syndicated column, A DAD'S POINT-OF-VIEW, is his take on the challenges of parenthood and male/female issues, both as a single dad and now, newly remarried, in a blended family. Join Bruce's A DAD'S POINT-OF-VIEW fan page at Facebook. To contact Bruce, visit his new website brucesallan.com.
Maybe your kids could see your new wife as a mother if you would stop pointing out that you're still the "primary parent." You're robbing them of all that's good by labeling everything in your life.
Hmmm. I stay at home in the full-time parent role, much as many mothers do, while my wife works full-time out of the home. Would you say the same thing if a mother said she was the "primary parent?" Also, my boys see their stepmother fully as a co-parent and love her accordingly. What in this blog made you think otherwise? BTW, Happy Mother's Day to you and I appreciate your pov.
Your boys are very fortunate to have had you there to provide the security and sound guidance during their younger years.Having chosen the perfect stepmother was a brilliant move. Now respecting them to make their own decisions about their relationship if any with their biologic mother is the correct thing to do. Bravo and Happy Mother's day!
Responding to the "robbing" comment: Come on now! Naturally someone has to be the primary parent in time spent, emotional availability etc. especially if the other parent disappears. Bruce has simply not off loaded his responsibility off on his new wife, but continued the level and effort that he has displayed all along. Furthermore, taking credit for laudable efforts shows a healthy, mature individual that we hope to be. It is not bragging if you're doing the work and have the skill. If I remember correctly from an earlier blog, Bruce's kids are in high school and I am sure that bonding might be just a bit tougher at this stage in their lives vs. earlier ones, for any 'new' parent just coming into the picture, step or otherwise. Besides being a single dad may just be harder than being a single mom as our culture doesn't accept it or support it in a fashion like it does single moms… if Bruce doesn't recognize his own efforts under conditions like this, who will? If you were the new mom and were not receiving thanks on mother's day, with the kids, would you be likely to increase or decrease the amount of participation? I would rather hope that the "Anonymous" commenter would attempt to encourage and support parents, like Bruce, who are there for their kids (regardless of sex) and recognize those who are. There is an important life lesson here as well… responsibility pays if you recognize it. There is nothing more that you can leave as a legacy than your own kids. Keep writing Bruce, ignore the haters!
Good wife, good kids making good decisions, good day for a celebration indeed! Happy Mother's Day to you and yours Bruce!
We can only nurture love for ourselves by showing love to those who choose to be in our lives. Lucky to be a man who's love is growing on Mother's Day.
I applaud any dad who takes the role of raising his kids seriously and with passion in his heart, as Bruce seems to.
I think he's doing well!
I was in the same situation, but reversed, I got pregnant, and my boyfriend skipped town. I met a wonderful man who is my daughter's daddy, he is going to adopt her, he is the only daddy she has known. The Christmas after we got engaged, I bought him a plaque that says, "Anyone can be a Father, it takes a real man to be a Dad". That is very true and the same can be said about mothers and moms!!!
Even though your kids "seem" to be handling the fact that their mom abandoned them, remeber this: abandonment leaves deep scars that form deep rooted emotional hurts well into adulthood. I hope that you are giving your children the opportunity to go through therapy, with professionals, so that they may deal with this not only now, but in their future. Abandonment issues pop up in all kinds of intimate relationships unless it is healed.
Being a Mom of 2, I know that they are still at a very tender age, and do not have the skills yet to make out what is their true feelings and ideas. Do the best thing you can for them Bruce, and seek out therapy, no matter how long a time it takes to heal this.
Happy Mother's Day!!
Makes a lot of sense, at this stage in the game, to let your kids choose how they will maintain or not maintain a relationship with their birth mom. I agree with the last poster, though, that there is always potential for issues to remain lurking from her abandoning them; probably something worth keeping in mind and watching out for as they continue to grow into manhood.
Wow, anonymous, clearly has issues and didn't get what Bruce is saying at all. What labels is she referring to? He is the stay-at-home mom so what's the deal? Plus, he couldn't have been more complimentary about his new wife and her role in his boy's lives. Give me a break. And, Bruce, keep 'em coming.
I think it is important for you to help solidify a warm relationship between your boys and your new wife….it won't be easy..but she sounds like the kind of person who will be there for them and eventually they will see her as a Mom…biology and blood are not everything…Good luck on your journey!
It might be a good idea to point out to your boys that it is a choice one makes to be a warm, loving, and involved parent…it's not an accident of birth that makes one a "parent" in the truest sense of the word.
It's so nice to hear that your boys now have a warm and nurturing mother in their lives. While you may have done remarkably well as a single parent, children do best with a mother and a father. May you have continued good luck and Happy Mother's Day!
I remember being a single mom of three small boys and it was tough! I did pretty well and warm and fuzzy, not so well at structure and discipline.
When I married their step-father, although I was "Primary Parent" in the beginning, I learned a bunch……. little boys wear socks with their sneakers was only one of them. My boys bonded well, perhaps because they were ages 2, 3 and 5. Or was it 3, 4 and 6? Anyway, I think it was more due to the fact that their step-dad was THERE for them and their biological father had abandoned them, emotionally and financialy.
The story never ends, my second husband and I divorced when my sons were adolescents. He died when the boys were very young men. As the boys grew older, they each came to their own perspective. My eldest has no relationship with his biological father, my middle son still seeks love from his biological father and the youngest enjoys a reasonably good relationship with him. Each of them consider their step-father their Dad.
Hats off to you, Bruce! I have the feeling that you were a great Mr. Mom, and am happy to learn of Mrs. Mom.
It takes a special person, Man or Woman, to help raise and love someone else's children. I give these people much credit because being a parent is the hardest and most underappreciated job one could ever have.
It takes a special person, Man or Woman, to help raise and love someone else's children. I give these people much credit because being a parent is the hardest and most underappreciated job one could ever have.
To the "primary parent" slash labeling slash "robbing" threads: I am a recently divorced (now single) dad of two young girls and we share 50/50 "legal" and "physical" custody. However, anyone who's been married and had children knows that the roles that you define IN the marriage seem to get magnified once you're OUT of the marriage. For instance, my former spouse (when we were married) was certainly the one to take them shoe and clothes shopping, sign them up for programs like brownies and others. At the same time, even though I was the working parent, I often shared equally the taking/picking up from school, volunteered at their school, was the one who made sure homework and all schoolwork was getting done on time, communicated with the teachers… in actuality, I was often doing more than my share of parenting (and loved it all) along with being the bread winner. Now, and since we've been divorced, do you think that's magnified or de-magnified? Exactly. There is ALWAYS a primary parent, one who really steps up to the plate and the other knows that they can depend on that. I've yet to see a perfectly harmonious and equal blend of involvement, general parenting and overall adult guidance in a marriage or divorce situation involving kids. If you know of one, I'd love to interview them and write a book about what they've done! Happy Memorial Day and enjoy every moment with your child, you have a lifetime to talk on the phone, sit at the computer, read and think yourself silly about the economic doom. Get on the floor and wrestle or play with them for even 20 minutes and watch how different they are. It's my daily practice. I do not need a park, a play-place, candy, ice cream, anything else but my own person to really play with them and connect (even with the 10 year old). My best to you all, as mothers, fathers and parents.
I couldn't agree more. Giving birth does not make one a parent. It is the people that nuture, serve as a role model and support the child that make the difference. You have taught the kids good values and they have reached out to their mother (and consistently get rejected).If she doesn't respond she gets what she deserves—nothing.

Sandals Resorts has 7 beautiful locations in Jamaica, giving you the opportunity to indulge yourself in the amazing sights, tastes, and experiences these havens have to offer. Here are some of my favorites: [compiled by Kelly Tierney, Travel Impressions]
1. Sandals Cay Private Island – You must visit this private island when staying at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island. You'll find a gorgeous beach, pool, cabanas and an authentic Thai Restaurant. You can even have a massage on the island!
2. Sunsets - The sunsets at Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa are among the most beautiful in the entire world. They're especially enjoyable from the Crystal Lagoon Suites, where you can swim outside directly from your guest suite. This is one of my personal favorites.
3. Bluefield Beach Club – This restaurant at Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa offers the best authentic Jamaican cuisine just steps from the beach. The jerk chicken is to die for!
4. Ochi Beach Club – Imagine lying on a Balinese cabana and then dining at a new gourmet restaurant directly over the ocean. This is what you'll experience when visiting the The Ochi Beach Club at Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort. At night, the fire pits create a relaxing and romantic atmosphere that you'll never want to leave!
5. Champagne and Caviar Bar- The Champagne and Caviar Bar at Sandals Royal Plantation really shouldn't be missed. The caviar is such a delicacy and it's the only bar of its kind on the island!
6. Wedding Chapel – If you're in love and are ready to take the big step with your special someone, consider staying at Sandals Montego Bay, the only resort with its own wedding chapel on the island. Say "I do" in style!
7. West Indian Massage – This massage is so unique and luxurious that you'll think you're in heaven for 80 luxurious minutes. You'll receive a full body massage, hot stone therapy, tantalizing tropical mist, and even exfoliation for your tired feet.

Had to go to the bank to organise for my card to be used abroad and they took it from the card i paid with the deposit with which was fine but it was a waste of time going to the bank. Didnt like the fact reception was there sometimes, very lucky someone came back when we got locked out as our mobile didnt work abroad so who knows where we would have ended up staying if they hadnt come back. Amazing place, cool rooms. If light sleeper better at back of the building as main Rd busy with traffic

Council votes to postpone airport plan adoption
Adoption of the city of Blaine's Airport Master Plan was delayed after city council members voted to offset the decision by at least another week.
The plan is one of the three alternatives the city council is examining in their decision as to whether the Blaine's current airport should continue to operate as a municipal function.
At an August 28 meeting, council members voted 4-3 to postpone the decision on adopting the airport commission's final plan until the release of a second study that examines the feasibility of other alternative uses for the airport. That plan is scheduled for review on September 5.
Council member Jason Overstreet motioned to postpone any action on the plan until the council has made an official decision as to the expansion of the airport.
"This doesn't speak to the quality of the plan, it speaks to the timing," he said.
Council member John Liebert agreed. He said while he thought it was a good plan, he seconded the motion, adding that he thought it would send the wrong message to the Federal Aviation Administration as well as the community of Blaine.
"It's not meant to dis any of those people who worked so hard on this master plan," he said.
In a prior meeting, Mark Napier, a consultant with W&H Pacific hired by the city to draft the plan, had warned council members that while there were no obligatory consequences for merely approving the plan, not doing so could jeopardize receiving legislative funding for the 2007 fiscal year, which begins in October.
argued that even if the council waits until September
5, there would still be adequate time to apply for
federal and state grants.
"We still have time after the alternative land use committee report comes in to go after that October funding," he said. "But by taking a step tonight to fully adopt the master plan prior to the other half of the study I thought would send a bad message to the community."
Blaine mayor Mike Myers said disagreed with the council's decision.
"I think that's a bad decision," he said. "A community without a plan for an airport is not a good community. This is a good master plan. It's wrong to disapprove it and it's wrong to postpone it."
City council member Charlie Hawkins agreed, adding he thought some members of the community were polarizing the issue for political gain.
"If we do go ahead with the airport, we need to start as soon as we can to get the process going," Hawkins said. "If we stall around, we're going to miss funding periods that are critical.
"It seems to me they're trying to make two separate issues out of it. It's a good plan and we should approve it so if we do approve the airport expansion, we'll have something to go with right away."
plan calls for expanding the airport
to accommodate more business-type,
twin-turbine aircraft, otherwise
known as a B-II type aircraft, in
an effort to encourage growth in
the business community.
The current airport capacity allows A-1, or small single-engine planes and is not useable during adverse weather conditions.
The plan also calls for increasing runway length from 2,500 feet to 3,200 feet, constructing additional hangars and moving the entire runway south.
Airport commission chair Doug Fenton said the goal of the expansion is to encourage business people who fly planes to move their business here.
A public hearing for the alternative land uses committee report is scheduled for 7 p.m. September 18 at the Blaine senior center. For more information, call 332-8311.

Dir: Chiu Kang-chien
Scrs: Chiu Kang-chien, Chun Tin-nam
Cast: Pat Ha, Chang Kuo-chu, Yang Fan, Niu Chen-zer
1985 / Colour / D Beta / Chi & Eng subtitles / 99min
Riding on the popularity of An Amorous Woman of the Tang Dynasty, this 'sequel' written and directed by Chiu Kangchien surprised producers and audience alike. The subject was still romance and eroticism, but instead of displaying the curves of Ha, the film showed beautiful young men, gay love, even fetishism and necrophilia, as well as the institutions, artefacts and customs of the Tang dynasty. The film featured a combination of the ancient and the modern in its concept, setting and character styling. The young men are portrayed as wild and rebellious, while the era is presented with a righteousness and a richness of culture that puts modern times to shame. Much meticulous thought went into the stylized characterisation and theatrical mise-enscene. Although the art installations and use of Buddhist scriptures seem to lack sophistication, Chiu's quirky creativity is evident throughout. The film's production was plagued with mishaps but that clearly did not dilute Chiu's poetic outlook.

Two Georgian projects win United Nations Public Service Awards
16.05.12 20:12
Two Georgian projects have won the United Nations Public Service Awards, which is the most prestigious international recognition of excellence in public service.
The Ministry of Justice has won the 2012 United Nations Public Service Award, 2nd place, in the category of "Improving the Delivery of Public Services" for its pubic service halls, while the Civil Service Bureau of Georgia has won the second place in the category "Preventing and combating corruption in the public service" for implementing the Online Asset Declaration System (OADS).
Georgia has been invited to the 2012 United Nations Public Service Day, Awards Ceremony and Forum, which will take place in New York from 25 to 28 June 2012. This event, which will focus on the theme of "Innovation in Citizen Engagement for Effective Governance", is organized by the Division for Public Administration and Development Management of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), in partnership with UN-Women and other relevant agencies of the United Nations.
The 2012 event marks the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the United Nations Public Service Day and Awards Ceremony.
The General Assembly, in its resolution 57/277, designated 23 June as United Nations Public Service Day for the purpose of celebrating the value and virtue of service to the community at the local, national and global levels, with prizes to be awarded to public sector institutions for contributions made to the cause of enhancing the role, prestige and visibility of public service.
On 23 June each year, the United Nations organizes a ceremony to commemorate the United Nations Public Service Day, during which the most innovative initiatives in the public sector around the world are recognized.
Over 400 participants, including the President of the General Assembly, the Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, high-level government officials from around the world, are expected to attend. Participants will also include world leaders, ministers, senior government officials, mayors, and representatives from civil society, academia, the private sector, and international and regional organizations.

Zeppelin On REVOLUTION!! Zooey On FALLON!! New CATFISH, CASTLE, FIVE-0, BONES, BROKE, HOW, VOICE, GOSSIP, 90210, DANCING!! THE LAST MONDAY OF SWEEPS!!
Tonight's "Revolution" is titled "Kashmir" and features the old Led Zeppelin song. Every movie and TV show ever made could benefit from the use of "Kashmir" and/or "The Immigrant Song," I believe. NBC says:
Miles and the gang are bound for Monroe's lair - Independence Hall, but their efforts are impeded when they begin to have difficulty separating fantasy from reality. Meanwhile, Danny starts to grow suspicious of Rachel.
Erick Kripke is credited with creating "Revolution," but I just read somewhere that Kripke's original pitch was about the aftermath of a decimating worldwide plague. It was J.J. Abrams who came up with the concept of all the cars and refrigerators and phones suddenly no longer working.
A four-month "Revolution" hiatus is almost upon us. Next week brings the last episode until March 25.
"Revolution" hit a new personal low last Monday.
CBS finally pulled the plug on "Partners," which also hit a new low last week:

Revolution and S.M. Stirling
by tailhook
The concept itself of a world suddenly finding itself without power(extents differ) is shared between the two series, but Revolution has been hewing far closer to The Postman(the Kevin Costner movie) than the Dies The Fire series. DtF was mainly a case study in how humanity survives the immediate aftermath of a complete loss of power, while Revolution is more about the remnants of society trying to put itself back together. So things like militias come into play(complete with branding, an 8 in The Postman, a M in Revolution) and rebels advocating a return to the United States and our plucky hero ultimately looking to break and unite both and reform a new United States, hence the r(Evolution) with the blinky R. We can't go back to what we were, so the obvious finale of Revolution will show what we become. But trying to say it rips off Dies the Fire? If you're going to say that only one movie or one series is ever going to have a core concept and the rest are ripoffs then you could only ever have one movie based around a Heist, you could only ever have one movie with a Serial Killer. All the rest are ripoffs, yes?

But I keep waiting for it to improve, and it doesn't. I expect it to disappear shortly after coming back. I dont even know why networks develop Sci-fi shows anymore ....they refuse to give them full seasons until they"see how they do", so you always get these audience destroying breaks. Its retarded. Just stop even trying, network fuckwits.
Nov. 19, 2012, 11:06 p.m. CST
@tailhook...billcom6 is correct, they did rip off Sterling.
by tritium
A setting in a post-collapse or post-apocalypse society is a "core concept", to use your terminology. A setting in a post-collapse society in which all electronics and electrical power have magically ceased to work...is a direct rip-off of S.M. Sterling's oeuvre. And I am not even a fan of Sterling's writing.

by jim
so maybe someone can answer this for me: Is it believable that someone can take 5 seconds to look at an under-construction device and tell with absolute certainty that it is a bomb? That he could without a doubt be able to discern the difference between a home-made bomb and a home-made power amplifier? Remember, this is a cobbled-together device that is powered by a magical power-producing pendant (which, I assume, also would have acted as the explosive material). I don't know, maybe for fun back in the day they all used to build both pendant-power amplifiers and pendant-powered bombs so he instantly knows one from the other?

More questions, this time about Hawaii 5-0
by jim
Did the kidnappers know there was a cop in the house before they found the badge? It seemed like that was the first time they knew that. But they shot that other cop for looking at the parked cars. He stops walking for a second when he sees her car and, I assumed, the kidnappers realized he just figured out the wife had lied to him and she was still there, so they shot him. But if they knew that the officer he came looking for was still there why were they so surprised later on when they found her badge? Did Kono have her gun on her of did she also give that to the kid to hold onto in the closet? Also, I'm no tactical expert, but wouldn't it be easier, with better odds of rescuing your held-at-gunpoint officer, trying to take them out as they exited the house. You know, with a dozen SWAT guys and snipers while the 4 crooks walk from one fixed point to another. As opposed to one cop with a gun standing up in a speeding car, trying to take out 3 crooks inside a moving van through a narrow doorway? Just seemed to me like the second plan was the higher risk one where more could go wrong. Good thing the guy driving left the window rolled down and the door unlocked.

What Was The Point of Using Kashmir? Especially In That Sequence?
by Crow3711
Last night was a truly crap episode of revolution, with the "low oxygen hallucinations" being one of the sillier excuses to have characters confront their psyches I've ever seen...but why did they make such a big deal out of Kashmir? They used it, ineffectively in my opinion, for about 14 seconds. Did you really need to name the episode after that? WTF? Not to mention it had nothing to do with anything going on thematically, just like, hey look we're a cool show, we play zeppelin man! I was astonished.

Marketing for Led Zeppelin
by Notliw
A friend of mine told me that Led Zeppelin is putting out a new album this week. I'm assuming that NBC/Universal has some affiliation with the music distributor releasing the album. Revolution (at the time) was the top rated show. What better way to expose it and give it some (free) publicity.
Nov. 20, 2012, 2:06 p.m. CST
You are right blackstadamus
by jim
it was cross-marketing. The way the scenes were done the music could have been anything. Those scenes would have played pretty much the same way had Zepplin's music been replaced with the latest Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber, or whatever NBC Universal was looking to sell. Although one might think somewhat differently of Giancarlo Esposito's character had he said "I've missed this kind of music" as he walks in on Elizabeth Mitchell listening to One Direction.

I like Daniel, i like he's work, he's been in programs i like and it's been a slog for him to be recognised. Must be, he isn't white and there isn't a dearth of Asian characters for him to play. But man he was in lost that dude can act. So why the fuck 5-0? Maybe its a relatively easy paycheck living in the sun. But C'mon Daniel, you're fucking better then that. South Korea cinema is blowing up, why the fuck aren't you the cross over artist that puts in out into mass appeal? Someone get daniels agent on the line.

It is estimated that half of all women in the United States will develop unsightly veins by age 50.53 While dermatologists often suggest surgery to correct this "age-related" issue, European women have enjoyed access to a natural solution for 30 years!
For the first time, Life Extension offers American women the same extract without a prescription. No more compression bandages, or stockings. Instead, you can experience the same beautifying effects European women have been raving about for three decades—naturally!
Derived from the sweet orange, European Leg Solution featuring Certified Diosmin 95 contains a plant-based bioflavonoid called diosmin and is available in a vegetarian tablet.
In order to derive any significant benefit, bioactive diosmin extract must be able to reach veins directly. Life Extension's proprietary product undergoes a complex, highly refined process called micronization. It yields the only form of diosmin clinically proven to support healthy vascular function in the legs.53-56
This scientifically controlled, multi-phase technique radically reduces the size of the standard diosmin particles contained in each tablet, from 100 microns to less than 45 microns. The result is an optimally bioavailable standardized extract. This ensures rapid, efficient delivery of diosmin to the bloodstream, enabling enhanced penetration of the delicate inner lining of the veins.
As with so many "age-related" conditions, inflammation57 is the chief culprit behind the presence of unsightly veins. Inflammatory responses are precipitated by the interaction between white blood cells and the endothelial lining. Life Extension's European Leg Solution featuring Certified Diosmin 95 affords effective protection, to disrupt this inflammatory response. This formulation has been shown to:
And all using the same pharmaceutical grade extract enjoyed by European women.
Due to license restrictions, this product is not for sale to customers outside of the United States of America.
Serving Size 1 vegetarian tablet
Servings Per Container 30
Diosmin 95 [Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) extract (peel) standardized to 95% diosmin (570 mg)]
600 mg
Other ingredients: povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, vegetable stearate.
If you are taking anti-coagulant or anti-platelet medications, or have a bleeding disorder, consult your healthcare provider before taking this product.

I have been taking this formula for quite a few months. I saw that Suzanne Somers was offering the same formula for twice the money and my research brought me to Life Extension for the same formula. I know Somers does lots of research before putting her name on supplements. I originally took this for spider veins which run in my family. I noticed some minor improvement BUT I noticed a huge difference in the overall feeling in my legs. I didn't buy the supplement for this purpose so was really surprised by the results. My legs just feel lighter overall. My knees also feel better overall. I was starting to get some leg & knee issues from my walking routine and this really helped. I also own a 4 story home & it has made a huge difference in climbing up and down the stairs. I added glucosamine with chondroitin to my daily routine & it also helped. I stopped the Leg formula thinking the glucosamine & chondroitin alone would help but noticed a return of my leg problems so I know this really, really works for leg issues. I'm a big fan of this supplement.

Appears to Help my Nocturnal Leg Cramps
By Mexigal
from Merida, Mexico
About Me First Time User, Health Conscious
Comments about Life Extension European Leg Solution featuring Certified Diosmin 95, 600 mg 30 vegetarian tablets:
I have suffered with terrible nocturnal leg cramps for a very long time & have tried all the "obvious" suggested by doctors & friends: more magnesium, potassium, calcium, electrolyte mix, Vitamin E. I've read pages of research & study results. You name it; I've tried it. Quinine is no longer available.After MUCH trial & error, I discovered this combination: Vitamin C (LE "Fast C"), Hesperidin, & European Leg Solution. For me, it works! I almost never write reviews, but I really feel for anyone who suffers with night cramps -- & maybe this review will help! One thing of which you should be aware: there are many different causes of leg cramps & I believe this is the reason there is no known "solution". Depending on the underlying reason for one's leg cramps, the solution is different. Bottom Line: this is totally worth a try -- as an added benefit, my feet have stopped swelling!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Health Conscious, Regular User
I have been a member of Life Extension for several years and get the monthly magazine. When they had an article in it about European Leg Solution, I was quite interested because I had broken veins and have had the vein injections twice to clear the broken veins. I started taking this product and started noticing a difference. It does take time. My legs look great for a 72 young female!! My massage therapist cannot believe how good my legs look!!!!!

Great product! It works as long as you are consistent and give it a few weeks. I take it each morning when I brush my teeth.What I noticed first was I didn't have to put my feet up at the end of the day. Being on my feet all day as a teacher there were some days that I came home in misery. Then one day my husband said, "look at your ankles." And there they were...thin and defined. I love this product and for the first time in 30 years I'm wearing dresses.
Help for swollen ankels
By Young at 59
from St.Pete. FLorida
See all my reviews
I work standing on my feet for the last 8 years. I noticed after the first 3 years my ankles beginning to swell. My doctor was not too concerned but mentioned using compression socks. I'm in my late 50's and wearing compression socks is not appropriate all the time. I have found the swelling reduced after the two weeks of using European Leg Solution. I feel I can take a break from using this product as I have achieved the results I was looking for. It also mentions on the bottle not to use for more than a 3 month period. Resting my legs, diet, regular walking and European Leg Solution have helped a lot.
