An Interview with Dr. Marian Diaz joining IPS as the Assistant Professor of Pastoral Studies
The Ignatian mission of LUC complements my focus on ministry, service and social issues as well as my professional experience working on vocational discernment. Of course, having lived in Rome for three years, the ability to teach at the John Felice Center will be a highlight for me.
Dr. Diaz, what are your current research interests?
My research interests include early Christian origins and spirituality, practical theology and contextual theology. For example, my dissertation involved a study of adult ministry formation in diverse cultural settings. I am also working on issues related to women in ministry and women active in inter-faith work around the world.
Could you tell us a little more about your professional experiences, particularly those not mentioned on your CV.
I think that it would be important for me to mention here formative service experiences that I have had over the years. These include living in the inner-city of Chicago for a summer, living at the Catholic Worker House in South Bend, IN for two different periods and the years of service offered to the US Embassy to the Holy See in Rome. For me these experiences offer a stark contrast between living amidst the poorest of the poor and then engaging in service with and among some very wealthy and powerful people.
Which classes you will be teaching?
Introduction to Theology/Ministry
Christian Origins
Foundations of Christian Spirituality
Foundations of Pastoral Care
Foundations of Social Justice
Pastoral Leadership
What is your teaching philosophy?
In teaching people who seek to become professionals in ministry, my central goal is to bring theology to life and to provide my students with the skills necessary for them to do the same thing through their ministry. I tend to use a variety of types of sources – written and otherwise (art, music, current events, case studies) to help students grow in their abilities to think critically, to read cultural contexts and to develop engaging pastoral practices based on their learning.

On the road to the virtual desktop
Windows application virtualization and streaming solutions from Microsoft, Symantec, and Thinstall are laying the groundwork for a subscription-based, click 'n' run future. Imagining the possibilities, we put them through a simple SaaS performance test
But despite having the right general plumbing, none of these first-generation solutions is designed specifically with a subscription-based computing model in mind. Microsoft SoftGrid and Thinstall Virtualization Suite are still aimed at internal enterprise deployment, whereas Symantec SVS Pro -- by virtue of its integration with a streaming server component from partner AppStream -- is closer to the goal of a true click 'n' run format. All Symantec needs to do is work out the optimization kinks.
It's worth noting that, although the focus of SoftGrid is still internal, the 800-pound gorilla in Redmond has everything it needs to deliver a future Office suite via the Web. The future of software distribution is subscription-based click 'n' run; the question is no longer if, but when. The three platforms reviewed here are helping pioneer the transition.
A simple test of speedy delivery
To better understand the behavior of each application virtualization solution, I constructed a rudimentary test bed featuring Microsoft Office 2003. Using the packaging tools from each solution, I created a virtualized Office image and then used each solution's distribution mechanism to deploy the image to a Windows XP-based client session.
Click for larger view.
Note: All testing was conducted under Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 (SP1). In the case of SoftGrid, a Windows Server 2003-based Active Directory environment was created to support the SoftGrid server components. For Symantec SVS Pro, I used a non-Active Directory Windows Server 2003 instance. Thinstall didn't require any server components; however, I did use the SoftGrid server to host a cached share point containing Thinstall-packaged executables.
Microsoft SoftGrid 4.2
When I first reviewed SoftGrid in July 2006 ("SoftGrid opens a stream toward application manageability") I found a product with tremendous promise saddled with an overly complex sequencing process and myriad runtime limitations. It's now a year later and virtually nothing has changed. Version 4.2 is still plagued by UI quirks and omissions, the failure to automatically share the Content folder during the server installation process being the most glaring (unforgivable, really). There has been no real improvement in application compatibility; for example, SoftGrid still can't handle applications that employ headless services (such as systems management agents). In fact, other than support for Windows Vista as a client OS, SoftGrid is effectively unchanged from its previous incarnation.

Himalayan Salt - Bath Salt Queen of Sheba by Aloha Bay - 24 oz. (680 gr.)
Himalayan Salt Bath Salt Queen of Sheba is made with 100% Pure Essential Oils. Himalayan Salt Bath Salt Queen of Sheba contians Lavandin, Nutmeg, Cedar, Cassia, Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Clary Sage and Black Pepper scents. Himalayan Salt Bath Salt Queen of Sheba is Revitalizing, Rejuvinating and Purifying.
About 250 million years ago, what is nowadays the Himalayan mountain range was covered by a primordial ocean. When the Indian sub-continent hit Asia, the ocean floor started to rise and created a huge salt lake. Eventually this salt lake evaporated and formed the salt layers in the Salt Range in India and Pakistan. Himalayan crystal salt contains the same minerals and trace elements of which the human body is composed.
About Aloha BayIn 1993, Aloha Bay began manufacturing and wholesaling hand dipped paraffin tapers, painted with palm wax. These beautiful tapers are still popular in the gift industry. In 1997, they developed the first 100% Palm Wax votives and richly scented jar candles.
Over the years, they have expanded their use of pure essential oils and have become the primary vegetable wax wholesale candle and Himalayan salt lamp supplier to the natural food industry.
Aloha Bay has continued to experiment with every type of vegetable wax (soy, coconut, rice bran, carnauba, candelilla, bayberry, jojoba and even castor oil).
They have found that palm wax makes the best candles especially blended with high concentrations of pure essential oil scents.
Most vegetable waxes (e.g. soy wax) are too soft and oily to be used by themselves, so they are often mixed together with large percentages of palm wax.

Five Jobs That Aren't Worth Your Time
Soul-sucking, low paying, or just plain dead-end - these jobs should be carefully considered before you decide to pursue them.
Face it - we all can't be singers, movie stars, or models. Most of us do have to get up and punch a clock somewhere. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to don plaid, grow a beard, and become a lumberjack.
There's a full spectrum of jobs out there, and many can be quite rewarding in terms of salary, growth, and opportunity. That is, if you know your own strengths and weaknesses, and are willing to put in the effort it takes to snag them.
"We read a lot about job hunting, but Westerners (people from North American, parts of Central and South America, and Europe) never take time to know who we are in relation to the job," says Elizabeth Lions, a Texas-based career consultant and author of "I Quit! Working For You Isn't Working For Me".
"Instead, we approach the job search like a puppy in a pound, begging to be chosen, constantly looking for affirmations outside," she adds.
Well, not anymore - at least if we can help it. Step one in taking your career into your own hands: Figuring out what job avenues you shouldn't be wasting your time on.
Read on for a list of career stop's and go's, plus advice on how to find what's right for you.
Career to Avoid #1: Telemarketer
Monetizing your chattiness as a telemarketer might seem like a way to make your motor mouth pay off, but it's not always as easy as it sounds.
Steer Clear Meter: Receiving unsolicited calls is annoying, and it's not likely they will get any less annoying if you're the one dialing. And calling up perfect strangers and possibly asking them to order services, donate money, or purchase goods is exactly what you would be doing as a telemarketer, says the U.S. Department of Labor.
If you think the job description doesn't sound like much fun, outlook on the field is even more dismal. The Department of Labor reports less than amazing prospects for this career: The median wage is just above $22,000 and growth rate is labeled as "slower than average" at seven percent from 2010 to 2020.
Lions agrees: "There's no career path for call center work, and there are only two screens you need to do this job - reading a computer screen and passing a drug screen."
What To Do Instead: Public Relations Specialist
Turn your talkative nature and ability to sell into a career as a public relations specialist. According to the Department of Labor, this career might involve writing press releases that influence the public to look upon your client or business favorably. Growth rate is projected to hit 21 percent from 2010 to 2020, says the Department, and the median pay, at $53,190, is more than double that of a telemarketer.
For public relations specialist positions, employers typically want candidates with a bachelor's degree in a field like journalism, public relations, communications, business, or English, says the Department.

Career to Avoid #2: Door-to-Door Salesperson
You might have been a first-rate Girl Scout Cookie peddler, but you're no longer a cute kid looking for a couple bucks. Working as a door-to-door salesperson might mean more doors slammed in your face than happy customers.
Steer Clear Meter: This entry-level job literally has you constantly knocking on doors, or standing on the street to sell people products, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. If haggling with people or constantly being on the go isn't your thing, then being a door-to-door salesperson probably isn't for you.
"Door-to-door sales is a lot of work for little reward when you look at commission pay outs," says Lions. "Better to do a regular sales job instead."
On top of that, there's very little growth opportunity, according to the Department of Labor, with a seven percent decline in jobs from 2010 to 2020, and a low median salary of $22,160.
What To Do Instead: Human Resources Manager
Far more promising than going door-to-door is going cubicle-to-cubicle, not to sell but to interact with employees as a human resources manager. These in-demand professionals recruit potential employees, expand staff, and solve internal conflicts, says the Department. What's more, they make a median pay of just under $100K a year, with the field set to grow at about 13 percent from 2010 to 2020. Lions attributes this growth to the need for companies to expand as we move out of the recession.
So how do you prepare for this career? You'll need a bachelor's degree in human resources or business administration, says the Department.

Career to Avoid #3: Postal Service Clerk
It's fun to get letters and cards, but how would you feel sorting through a never ending influx of envelopes? If this sounds like less than thrilling work, you might think twice about pursuing a mail clerk job as your 9 to 5.
Steer Clear Meter: Hope you like repetitive tasks. If not, you may find this job a bit monotonous. The U.S. Department of Labor says postal service clerks are responsible for sorting, insuring, and arraigning parcels. To top it off, there's really nowhere to go up in this line of work, save for supervisor roles.
When you think of how much communication takes place electronically today, postal service work doesn't exactly scream job security these days. According to Lions, this job is in danger of being phased out.
What To Do Instead: Medical Records and Health Information Technician
Instead, you might want to consider channeling all that attention-to-detail and record-keeping savvy into a promising position as a medical records and health information technician. How promising? The Department of Labor says the field will grow by 21 percent from 2010 to 2020.
Lions agrees that anything in health care, including administrative occupations like a medical records and health information technician, is a viable career option. "Boomers are getting older and need care," she says. "Insurance companies love to bill. Pharma is a huge business. This is an entire wheel that goes round and round. So anything that is a spinoff of health care or a vendor to health care is good."
To get your foot in this career's door, you will likely need either a postsecondary certificate or an associate's degree in health information technology, according to the Department.

Career to Avoid #4: Receptionist
Even Pam, everyone's favorite TV receptionist on "The Office," had to tell Dunder Mifflin to take this job and shove it at a certain point. Why? Because as a receptionist at a business, your job essentially entails fielding all the annoying, mundane - and yet totally necessary - interactions with the public that no one else wants to deal with.
Steer Clear Meter: Prefer to screen your calls? Well, as a receptionist, you won't have that luxury. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, you're paid to pick up the phone, jot messages down, and interact with company visitors.
Even if you can handle facing the tedium with a smile, you could be the first one on the chopping block, says Lions, should times get hard. "This job is always cut in recession," she says. It seems that even the boss can answer his phone to save $25,000 a year - which is roughly what the median pay of a receptionist is, per the Department of Labor.
What To Do Instead: Administrative Service Manager
Lions has the prescription for those who think they were born to be receptionists. "Move into admin work, office manager work, or even executive administration," she says. With a little schooling and cost to beef up your skills, she says, office managers can make more.
In fact, according to the Department, the median pay for an administrative service manager is about $79,540 a year. The work you do in return might entail buying supplies, supervising other administrative personnel, budgeting, and supervising a company's facility.
If this sounds like an ideal alternative to you, keep in mind that educational requirements vary by organization. According to the Department, some administrative services managers need a bachelor's degree, typically in a field like engineering, business, or facility management, while others hold only a high school diploma.

Career to Avoid #5: Logging Worker
And you thought sawing logs was just an expression for snoring. No, turns out you can make cutting trees a career, but it's probably not worth it, considering the hazards of the job and the low pay.
Steer Clear Meter: What's nice about being a lumberjack is that, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, you can pursue this career with a high school diploma and get trained on the job. But remember, the forest will be your office, rain or shine. Oh, and keep in mind, per the Department of Labor, this career is projected to grow at a 4 percent rate from 2010 to 2020 and reports a median salary somewhere in the neighborhood of $33,000. That's a lot of heavy lifting for a fairly light income.
Lions agrees that logging may not be the wisest career choice: "Unless you live in the Pacific Northwest and there are no other jobs, this may not be a good choice," she says. "Other blue collar jobs like construction would pay better."
What To Do Instead: Construction Manager
If your heart is set on not being cooped up in an office all day, you might pursue a bright career as a construction manager. In this profession, you might work with engineers and architects to supervise a residential, commercial, or industrial building project, notes the Department. Career prospects look strong too, with employment growing 17 percent from 2010 and 2020 and professionals in the field reporting a median annual salary of $84,240.
According to the Department, it is becoming more and more critical that construction managers have a bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, construction management, or construction science. That said, you may qualify for the job having only a high school diploma. In either case, you'll need some years of experience in the construction industry before you begin managing a project.

Unless you were asleep like a loser like me when the ball dropped on New Year's Eve -- or unless you were out doing something fun, as opposed to watching TV -- you probably saw Taylor Swift and Harry Styles full-on make-out session smack in the middle of Times Square. It was hot. It was steamy. It was the most PDA-y PDA ever. But did you know that these two crazy love birds might actually be getting married? I know.
Well, when I say they might be getting married, what I mean is: A source told Us Weekly magazine: "I can see them getting married in a week. Just going for it." So, yeah. It's not like a hall has been booked and a menu decided upon. But still -- I could see this happening.
We all heart Taylor Swift's love life. Because she loooooves love. And really, it's kind of sweet to watch her and all her boys. She's a pretty, young girl, filled with angst -- and a fat bank account. Why shouldn't she date whomever she wants to, whenever she wants to? She totally should! But here's the thing about Taylor's relationships that make them a little more fascinating than the average celeb romance: She seems to get obsessed with whomever she's dating, like, really quickly. That's how it looks from our vantage point, at least. And each relationship seems to get more intense than the last. Didn't she just buy a house next to Conor Kennedy a few months ago?
Taylor, Harry. Don't do it. Not yet. I know you both are all loved up right now, but please, wait it out a bit. You're both young, and really, your relationship is relatively new. It isn't a good idea. Not now. I don't doubt your feelings for each other, but who knows what you'll (Taylor) will be feeling in a few months time? Odds are, probably not this.
Do you think Taylor and Harry should pump the brakes a bit?

I think they should take things slow. They're both still very young.
I have no idea who he even is. And yes, I think they should slow down. I would give that advice to anybody, though!
and yes, I was asleep, but NO that doesn't make me a loser!! I think it was a smart choice on my part. :)
both very young ...slow downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Too young!
I think every couple contemplating marriage should take things slow and make sure they are right for each other whether they are celebs or not. I wish them the best of luck.

|Irradiation effects on thorium phosphate diphosphate: Chemical durability and thermodynamic study
|C. Tamain1N. Dacheux1F. Garrido2L. Thomé2
|Since thorium phosphate diphosphate (β-TPD) can be considered as a potential host specific matrix for the long-term storage of actinides in the field of an underground repository, it is necessary to study the irradiation effects on the chemical durability of this material. In this aim, leaching tests were realized on pre-irradiated thorium–uranium phosphate diphosphate (β-TUPD) samples. The evolution of the normalized leaching showed that thorium often precipitates as a neoformed phosphate-based solid onto the surface of the leached samples while uranium (IV) is released in the leachate consequently to its oxidation into the uranyl form. The pre-irradiation accelerates the formation of the neoformed phase. On the contrary, the characterization of the neoformed phase through various techniques (EPMA, XRD, μ-Raman) showed that the pre-irradiation has no effect on the thermodynamics equilibria occurring onto the surface of the samples.

In 2009, the State of Georgia hired a dietician to work with preschools throughout the state to improve the overall health of students. And, years later, it appears the project is paying off. A recently released report shows that Georgia preschoolers are slimming down.After years of bad news regarding America children's waistlines, there's finally some good about news about the age group. A report from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed a slight decline in the number of obese preschoolers coming from low-income families. And, the State Department of Early Care & Learning credits the change with wellness training in childcare centers.While 18 states showed the lowers numbers, too; it's states like Georgia, Florida and Missouri that saw the biggest declines. Officials working with the project say it isn't just the state policy that contributed to the decline, but also good health and wellness modeling by adults.The CDC says a change in WIC policies probably played a role, too. The changes instituted in 2009 eliminated juice from infant food packages, provide less saturated fat and made it easier to buy fruits and vegetables.The State of Georgia now rates childcare centers and nutrition is recently added as a component of that quality rating.

Find out all you need to know about donating blood, including the location and hours of the donor center, membership benefits, types of donation available, eligibility requirements and how to schedule an appointment.
The donation center is located in the Blue Ridge Center II building at 2709 Blue Ridge Road, Suite 150, across the street from Rex Hospital.
Volunteer whole blood donations are accepted at this location
Special procedures such as apheresis or platelet, autologous, directed and therapeutic donations are also performed at this location, by appointment only.
Giving a whole blood donation is quick and virtually painless. Each donor is given a brief medical history interview and a mini-physical (including blood pressure, pulse, temperature and hemoglobin check) before a trained technician draws a pint of blood. The entire process takes about 30 - 45 minutes. A whole blood donor can give blood every eight weeks. A pint of donated blood is approximately one tenth of a donor's total blood volume which will return to normal within several hours after the donation. Donor's can resume normal activities immediately after donation.
Additional Apheresis Appointment TimesDuring February and March we are offering additional platelet appointment times Monday through Thursday. The first appointment is 7:30 am and the last is 5:30 pm.
Apheresis is a special kind of blood donation that collects only a certain component of donors' blood, either their platelets or plasma. At Rex Donor Center volunteer apheresis donors give platelets to patients in need of this special gift.
Although platelets can be taken from a whole blood donation, one apheresis donation is equal to the platelets collected from six to eight whole blood donations. It is important to limit a patient's exposure to different donors. This helps to avoid the risk of patients becoming sensitized to foreign platelets, which can allow antibodies to build up faster.
The eligibility requirements for donating apheresis platelets are the same as those for whole blood donation with one major addition. Donors are asked to refrain from taking aspirin or aspirin containing products 48 hours prior to their donation.
Donating apheresis platelets is simple and safe. Blood is drawn from one arm and routed through a sterile, disposable tubing kit affixed to a special machine. The machine separates the platelets from the other components of the blood. The platelets are then collected in a separate bag and the rest of the blood is returned to the donor. All tubing, bags and needles are new, sterile and replaced after each donation. The donor's blood does not come in contact with any other part of the machine.
Apheresis donors can give platelets every three days. There is a time commitment as the donation can take between 1 and 2 hours to complete. Donors can make apheresis donations by appointment at Rex Donor Center. To learn more or to sign up to make an apheresis donation, call (919) 784-4750 or complete the form below.

Just a few years ago, 52 inch televisions didn't exist. Now, thanks to dozens of innovations, they're almost boring, and not even that expensive. Oddly enough, they're more efficient than the old CRT televisions...per square inch. The bad news is, as we've been exponentially increasing the square-footage of our televisions, so have we been exponentially increasing their energy use.
California, struggling to meet green power mandates while energy use has been steadily on the rise, is looking to tackle the problem at the source. By 2011, legislators are hoping that all but the cngnewengland.com most efficient televisions will be unavailable in California.
This might, in fact, completely eliminate plasma TVs from the market, as LCD televisions have been making more progress in efficiency than plasma. Of course, this wouldn't stop Californians from driving to Nevada, or ordering their televisions online.
Of course, the legislation could also have the opposite effect, forcing manufacturers to create more efficient sets for the (extremely large) California market, but also selling those sets everywhere. Less efficient sets would have a smaller market, and so be more quickly phased out.
If enacted, the first round of regulations would go into effect in 2011, decreasing user's electricity bills by about $20 per year. The second tier would come into effect in 2013, lowering bills by an additional $10.
I've seen what manufacturers can do to lower the power use of only best offers real cialis without prescription their sets, and I'm entirely confident that this can be done without a dramatic increase in the price of the units. And, really, if you want your entire living room wall to levitra available in india be a television screen...you should be willing to pay a few extra dollars for it.

But I also don't think that socialism is inherently evil. Socialism doesn't have to http://www.markwellgroup.com.au/viagra-no-rx be in the Soviet model. Most European countries, for example, are socialist in some degree and viagra mail order prescriptions there are a lot of great places to live, work, profit, thrive. Socialism simply advocates community ownership and control of the means of production and order cheap propecia distribution, of capital, land, etc. But it doesn't necessarily require the federal government to have that control or that the government controls every type of capital or land or whatever. Some government control can be better for the people.
There are certain industries that might work better if We The People had ownership and control rather than having that ownership and control in the hands of http://www.intherooms.com/addiction/buy-generic-viagra-from-india capitalist profit-seekers. Health insurance, border defense, air traffic control, education, childcare, fresh food production -- should these be for-profit corporate activities or nonprofit activities operated for the benefit of the people? I don't know. Some of these activities are already run on a nonprofit basis by the government. But to say "we can't do that because it's socialism" means that we aren't discussing the merits but just name-calling. Maybe we're missing some benefits by not considering some government control.

"fresh food production" makes me laugh,... the government has its hands ALL UP IN the US food and dairy industry. For farms they PAY farmers not to online pharmacies tramadol produce. In the case of dairy they gets produced regardless, the US buys up the surplus.
Although you can argue that this is a good thing since it produces large ag surpluses that can be used to help other nations in times of famine. Although others would argue that the large US surplus causes famines since other nations develop one crop for export since any normal ag goods that the US can produce the US produces in abundance.
Cali Government is doing the stupid thing. Intervention (as in price ceilings in the power industry and pollution controls and meivending.com siding with NIMBYism) causes even more intervention (passing laws preventing people from buying TVs) which will cause more intervention (police to enforce the laws preventing TVs from being imported or turned on) which now infringes your natural rights.

I'm all for saving the cialis australia planet and not killing ourselves by killing our ecosystem and whatnot, but I think the power of the individual and the power of the free market will do that if there is a market for it. Which there is, fortunately. Surely you've noticed how big business has begun marketing "green". Why? Because their customers want it. Supply and tramadol pill price demand.
As for socialism and the federal government, I believe that their success record is enough to make anyone who is not an absolute dreamer realize that virtually nothing should be handled by The State.
Yes, DARPA made the internet. But DARPA is so atypical to normal government that it's an unfair comparison. It's really just a bunch of brainiacs who are encouraged to think up the unthinkable, and they do so. So let's keep DARPA, and ditch the rest.

As for socialized medicine, I don't see any 'socialized' countries clamoring to return to the US's way. Just because conservatives say it's failing doesn't make it a fact. Just like when conservatives say tax cuts pay for themselves. Or human activity can't change the climate. Conservatives say the dependablehealthcareservices.com magic market can police themselves. Obviously, they can't. Business only cares about the bottom line...as they should. I say let the people, through their representative government, decide upon the rules.

"we've been exponentially increasing the square-footage of our televisions, so have we been exponentially increasing their energy use."
The word "have" refers to the past. I don't believe this "exponential" growth refers to the future. Are the legislators expecting TV screen sizes to keep growing until they are 160 feet wide and 90 feet long? I don't think so. It seems more likely to me that the growth in screen size is over.
However, I must admit that I'm thrilled by "decreasing user's electricity bills by about $20 per year." You gotta admit that's a big selling point.
Whatever this TV change becomes it cannot be a big deal on $20 per year. Look at your electric bill. How much electricity in KwH will $20 save? How much does $20 decrease pollution? The $20 per year will decrease pollution by ten gallons of where to get viagra in canada gasoline per year. How many gallons of gasoline do you use in a year? I don't know what $20 converts to for electric cars, but I'd like to know.
Saving energy is like living on a budget. The money goes for a whole lot of little things. Where did my money go? Where did my energy consumption go? Tvs are another one of those many things. If you want to save energy then turn yours off.
By the way, "not even that expensive" does not apply to my budget. I'm waiting for the price to come down. I want to consume that big TV energy. I wonder if there are a lot of poor "me's" out here?
Maybe I'm one of the wolves at the gate. I want in.

Based on reality, i.e., the current state of affairs in America, capitalism is not only not perfect but it is totally broken. Who broke it? Greedy corporate robber barons.
Being the wise one, you must know taht the only place where capitalism is working is in Communist China, which as you surely know was co-created by the Chinese government and American big business who out-sourced nearly all of the basic manufacturing capabilities of America. You know, the ones who make your TVs (and probably everything else you own), and your crayons, too.
Whether you like it or not, America is a colony of China. If you don't believe me, just take off every piece of clothing you have on and you will see the naked truth of what I am saying. Not a pretty sight. Next, throw out everything in your house made in China and you will learn what it is like to be homeless. Oh yeah, I forgot, your house has been foreclosed by your less than perfect capitalist free market goons.
Isn't it ironic that your other favorite president, Ike Eisenhower, was the http://televideocom.com/beta-blockers-and-levitra one who warned us about the military industrial complex? Or was it Ronny Reagan (your favorite) who whined about the evil empire? But then again, the poor sap was suffering from Alzheimer's disease: he just forgot who was paying his bills.
BTW, take big business influence peddlers out of generic levitra from india government and we might have better government.
PS: STEVEO THE "WISE" ...it's a joke right?
written by A Dose of Reality, January 12, 2009
Yes, it is pretty much just you. The greed causing all of this mess is the greed of the "people." That is what is driving what you call "capitalist free market goons." Everybody has to have their lottery winnings, only now they want their overnight lottery in the form of a "safe" investment. The people let them get away with it because it pads their pocket books. But then reality comes to roost and it crashes down and "the people" have the gall to blame "wall street." The "people" need to get back to the idea you have to work for your fortune (which can only be done in a free capitalist society,) and realize "there is no such thing as a free lunch." "The people" let former President Clinton get away with lying to the American public under oath, because they thought their pocket books were benefiting under his lies and deceit. But now that "the people" showed the world they will tolerate lies and cheating (especially if it appears to benefit financially,) why should they be surprised that is what they are getting. And as usual, the lies and cheating all comes crashing down as it can only maintain its mirage for a short period of time.
"The people" only have themselves to thank for their homes being foreclosed, etc.

You people, I can't believe how much you WORSHIP primitive technology. It's time to move into the FUTURE, not the past. LCD TV's and even Plasma TV's are the current evolution of the TV. The next major innovation will be thinner, lighter, OLED screens. But until that day comes, these TV's will be the choice. CRT's are the PAST.
Stop embracing the past, and look toward the future. I'm so tired of you eco freaks trying to reverse human progress. And yes, TV's count as progress. Nobody wants to go back to the days of 20 inch CRT's that take up the whole room and have a crappy picture. (I owned several tube sets and they DON'T compare to the new HD tv's).

The great thing about Free Schools is that they put power into the hands of parents, allowing them to set up new schools in their area. The process is fast and flexible and rightly brings more choice into the state system. It also means that schools are more likely to have parental support, a key component of a successful education.
We've looked at the research about online risks taking the Tanya Byron model created by her in 2008, and mapped that against the parenting response needed to mitigate those risks. Promoting an approach that includes talking to children, setting appropriate boundaries, letting them take managed risks and when it's appropriate using tools and software to back up parents' decisions.

[QUOTE=Long Suffering Jets Fan;4408541]All sideshow talk aside:
We got a game changing young player with exceptional athletic ability for a fourth round pick. He has no injury issues, a tremendous work ethic, inspires people around him and leads by example and as far as I know didn't have any issues with any of the players in Denver.
In addition he changes our vanilla offense to something more dynamic and unpredictable.
One of the concerns is that he is going to overshadow Mark Sanchez and I think this is valid. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Actually it may take some of the pressure off of Sanchez.
Only about half of the first round picks in this league ever amount to anything, never mind the the fourth. Let's get a FA WR (Braylon?) or two, and go OLB, OT, WR in the draft, and perhaps OG in the fifth and see what happens.
No matter where Tebow goes people laugh at him, yet he's done nothing but produce. I think it's worth a shot.[/QUOTE]
Good post.
He would come in to perform the same function as brad smith. Wildcat once in a blue moon and a great red zone option. There just needs to be a statement from the very beginning that there is no battle for the qb position. Sanchez is the starter barring injury. Tebow would be a change of pace player.

- Wonderful Find!RichVIPDined on 9/23/2014We made reservations at Cibo because it was near the theater. What a great find. We had a great Italian meal and enjoyed wonderful entertainment by the singing wait staff accompanied by a great pianist. We debated skipping the theater to continue an enjoyable evening of good food and entertainment. You have to try it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very enjoyable eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014the restaurant started off slow, but they definitely impressed us all around. The food was very good. The dover sole and branzino specials were terrific. The musical entertainment ( singing waiters) were outstanding. We enjoyed the evening alot!!!!Special Features:
- Dinner and a showcityexplorerDined on 9/19/2014CiBo was an excellent experience. The menu was well rounded and the service was exceptional. The live singing by the staff was awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very niceHarryDined on 9/18/2014Food was excellent, all courses. Hostess, did not catch her name, and server, Joe, were very good and attentive. Singers added a nice touch, albeit at times were a bit loud. They were very concerned about our schedule in case we were attending the theater. Will revisit.Special Features:
- DisappointingCharDined on 9/18/2014I have been to the Walnut Street Supper Club several times and have always had a good meal. Now that the restaurant has changed owners and has a new chef, the food was not up to par with the old restaurant. Selections were not as interesting, food was very salty, seasoning was "off' and portions were smaller (although that is not a bad thing). Wait staff were helpful and attentive and the singing is always a plus.
- I can't wait to go again!BettyDined on 9/14/2014Everything was perfect! I highly recommend visiting before or after a show!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We will never go backJohnsonc518Dined on 9/13/2014Our food was cold and watered down. Our waitress performed at least 4 times during dinner- didn't check on our food once let alone apologize for it being terrible. We told the manager on the way out and he didn't ask for the waitress' name or offer us a drink at the bar. Seems like a common theme at this restaurant. We will never go back.Special Features:
- after matinee dinnerdcvrDined on 9/13/2014we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Cibo. Our waitress was great, and could really belt a show tune. loved it. The food was delicious and very nice sized portions from anti paste to dessert! loved it all!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant!foodisgudDined on 9/12/2014Cibo was very friendly and accommodating to our large party, and the food was delicious. We loved the $35 restaurant week deal, and thoroughly enjoyed the singing by the very talented wait staff.Special Features:
- foodtasticoutandaboutDined on 9/12/2014Great food, great staff, great service with a special dash of wonderful singers.Special Features:
- Good food with entertainmentJTMNJDined on 9/12/2014The atmosphere is fun. Show tunes sung by the waiters. The food is good. The perfect place for a dinner before the theatre.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Italian RestaurantMaxibobDined on 9/10/2014My wife and I had excellent four course dinners and the atmosphere was also really nice. We were attending a play nearby and by showing our tickets, they gave us a 20% discount on our food. The also provided a voucher that reduced our parking cost at an adjacent indoor garage from $22 to $7. Our waiter was extremely nice and was very helpful without being obtrusive. The restaurant also had live music and the waiters rotated as singers and they were all very good. It was a great dining experience and we will definitely return.Special Features:
- Surprise venuebob36thDined on 9/10/2014This restaurant reminded me of an old time Italian restaurant. The surprise that night was entertainment provided by a piano player along with staff members singing some older songs. It is a fabulous place to go either before or after a show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK but not great.lflOKFoodDined on 9/9/2014The drinks were good; the food was good but not hot when received. I ordered soup and it came out luke warm. The entree was a warm but could have been warmer. I wouldn't classify this as a neighborhood gem but it was OK.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not memorablefoodfightDined on 9/9/2014We chose this restaurant even though they had poor food reviews,because they featured singing. Well, we got the poor food, but no entertainment. I would not go back.
- Music was fantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/2/2014The music and the waitstaff who sang their hearts out were amazing. The pianist was amazing too. I would have enjoyed to hear him just play a few sons every now and then without the voices just so that we could hold a conversation.Special Features:
- Fair at bestSteveDined on 8/31/2014We were here last December when it was still the Walnut St Supper Club... I was not aware when I made this reservation for 8/31/2014 that the ownership of the restaurant had changed & the chef replaced. Upon arriving, we asked about the new menu & were told how fabulous the menu was...we decided on the seafood in marinara.. Pesci de mare I think it was called.... $37....one of the priciest things on the menu which is very similar to Olive Garden! I ate a clam & got a bunch of shell in my mouth ...had to spit it out. The dish did not come with pasted either.... Never had Pesci de mare without coming out on a bed of pasta. Had to order a side of penne for $5. Food is fair, prices high.Oh we'll, live n learn. We will not be returning to Cibo.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014The food was average, at best. My wife special ordered a chicken dish-gluten free (we notified the restaurant ahead of time of the food allergy) and the chicken tasted liked it had just been removed from the freezer and microwaved. If we were not pushed to go to the theatre, we would have sent it back. The quality of the food was a definite step down from the previous owners (Walnut Street Supper Club) at this location. Highly overpriced for the quality of the food and they skimp on the cocktails.
- Pleasant dinner before the theaterAud050Dined on 8/24/2014The Walnut Supper Club is a neat place. There are certain performance times, and all of the servers have a visit to the mic to sing a tune. This was very cool. The decor is nice. The service was outstanding. I have to say that my meal was not bad, nor was it outstanding. I had angel hair with shrimp and lobster. Seemed like it was missing something....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NO LIVE ENTERTAINMENT5xdinerDined on 8/24/2014Food was not hot when it was served. Vegetables were just plain cold, meat was just warm (sauce also). The flavor was very good which is why I would give it one more try. Our waiter must have been new because he never gave us the specials, he didn't give them to the table across from us either. We only know there were specials after we ordered because we heard another waiter give them to his table. And the main complaint we had was we went there because there was suppose to be live entertainment but it never started. The keyboard player came in and sat his things down but never played a single tune. When we asked they said in about 20 minutes but we had our dinner and dessert and coffee and still NEVER a tune. Crème brulee was old.
- Great Spot before the TheaterOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/21/2014Went with a group of friends before our show. The show right at the restaurant was wonderful with a paino player and servers who sang during our dinner! It did not interrupt great service and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Good when time is EssentialJDjrDined on 8/20/2014The restaurant was in the middle of the name change so things seemed a little confusing with menu. Also because most patrons were trying to get to a show the service was slow and not attentive which took away from the meal. Maybe they should hire bus boys or food runners.Special Features:
- Great pre-theater dinnerlovetoeatoutDined on 8/20/2014We arrived around 5:30. Had happy hour outside with discounted drinks and half priced appetizers. The calamari was the best I have ever tasted. Dinner was delayed by us because our third person was late. They had no qualms about holding our table all that time. Delicious dinner. The waiters and waitresses who sang were delightful.Special Features:
- stil changingIamatazDined on 8/20/2014The restaurant is changing and has a long way to go. The staff was very friendly but service was slow and the food was not great.
- Great for pre-show diningplumbloco77Dined on 8/16/2014Really enjoyed this restaurant. While the food is good, not great, the entertainment was outstanding. It was a perfect warm-up to the theatre. I definitely recommend this restaurant!
- Just fantasticJoeKDined on 8/15/2014Great food and entertainment. Really enjoyed everything about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great ExperienceMackieDined on 8/15/2014I had dined here before and had such a great time that I took my mom here before dinner because I knew she would love the 50's and 60's decor. It was really great again. They have just revamped their menu and everything was better than last time. I don't know why this place isn't busier but it was a lovely time and the servers who perform are very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this before a show or just for a romantic night out.Special Features:
- Fun restaurant before a show4boysVIPDined on 8/9/2014The food is average and the service is fine but the waiters and waitresses singing is so much fun! We had dinner before a show (which they give you 20% off your Check so that was great). This wait staff were all very talentedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!ExGeniusDined on 8/8/2014I took the wife to the Walnut Street Super Club for her birthday, she was thrilled. The food was great and defiantly priced to match the quality (in a good way). The service was also great, very friendly and accommodating. The entertainment may not have been "My thing", but my wife loved it! The African American waiter that sang on Friday night was incredible, I am not a fan of musical ins general, but that guy can belt them out and did a smash up job. I know they just changed owners and are planning a name change, I think that would be a mistake.Special Features:
- Just alrightProDinerouterDined on 8/6/2014This restaurant was kind of cool but the entertainers were way too loud. No way to talk at your table while they were on stage. Thank God they do take breaks after 6-7 perform. Food was average and the MD said they had just been bought by new owners. Out reservation was at 645p and they were already out of several of thesunshinestate dishes on the menu. I would not go back with so many other choices in the city. I went with a group of 5 and nobody said "wow that was good."Special Features:
- Great nightNikkoDined on 8/5/2014Good food, good service, great atmosphere. Per our waitress, they are under new management and will change the name in a few weeks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pre-show mealOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/5/2014Made reservations before attending play down the street. Kimberly was very welcoming at the door when we arrived setting the tone for the meal ahead. The food quality and presentation were above average, allow sufficient time to dine if on a time frame. (5:30 res left at 7:15 for show)Special Features:
- Good Food, Good SongbarbkcVIPDined on 8/3/2014Very, very good food-finally a Caprese Salad done right. The Supper Club means our wait staff joined the piano player for singing all kinds of songs. We only stayed for two sets, but we really enjoyed it. I didn't come here vith very high expectations, and I more more than pleasantly ssurprised at how great it really was.Special Features:
- Ambience 10, Food 0NJNeilDined on 8/3/2014Walnut Street Supper Club has the makings of a great restaurant, if only the service and food were better. The wait staff all were extremely friendly, but bordering on incompetent. Within 10 minutes, we saw three different members of the wait staff spill something (in two cases, on the floor, in the other case, on a customer). The food was heavy and bordering on inedible: Caesar salad that was overdressed, and two pasta dishes that both were swimming in oil and lacking in seasoning. What a shame -- my friend and I had high hopes, and enjoyed the entertainment, but won't be back.
- WonderfulPatriciaVIPDined on 8/2/2014We had a great time. Dinner was excellent, and the entertainment was so much fun. ( Travis was excellent!)Special Features:
- Excellent spot!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/2/2014Took my wife for her birthday, great food and entertainment! The wait staff and bartender provide the singing. Great spot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TisredDined on 8/1/2014A true classic. Food and service is always wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- talented staffOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/1/2014great music while you eat by your waitstaff. That said, it is hard to have a conversation with your dinner guests while they are singing and their singing the majority of the time.
- LisaDined on 8/1/2014Lots of fun! Great place to bring groups--especially theater buffs!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An entertaining eveningDGrabDined on 8/1/2014I found the Walnut Street Supper Club when searching online for restaurants near the Walnut Street Theatre. What a great find! The food an entertainment were good, and the hostess went out of her way to make sure we were happy customers. Wish I'd known earlier about the parking validation at the nearby garage. Next time....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
