In a shallow mountain bowl over 2400m above sea level, and crammed with over twenty million people, Mexico City is one of the world's most densely populated urban areas. It's also one of the most vibrant and colourful. Spreading out beyond the federal district (Distrito Federal) which is supposed to contain it, the city has a vibe which is at once both edgy and yet laidback at the same time. Despite its high crime rate and terrible pollution, the capital is a fun place to be, and nowhere near as intimidating as you might expect. It's also very easy to find your way round, with an efficient metro system, and generally easy-to-navigate grid of streets.
On arrival you may brace yourself for the city's hard edge, but be prepared to be lulled by it. Mexico's capital may initially seem to lack the colour and charm of some of the country's smaller towns, but it can be pretty too, and there's certainly no denying its dynamism. The city centre still retains its colonial feel, its streets bustling with the comings and goings of daily commerce. The fact that different products are sold in specific areas – stationery here, electrical fittings there – sometimes make it seem like a giant market. To the west, steel and glass take over from brick and stone as tradition gives way to modernity, but in the suburbs, in barrios like San Ángel and Coyoacán, there's as much charm as any small Mexican town, and a surprising number of little squares overlooked by old churches amid leafy residential back streets. For many Mexicans, in fact, the city's most important site is the Basilica de Guadalupe, sited in the suburbs to the north of town. To the southwest, meanwhile, is Chapultepec Park and some of the biggest attractions you'll want to see, notably the outstanding Museo Nacional de Antropología. Even in the centre, around the garden known as the Alameda in particular, there's music, art (Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as their contemporaries) and colour enough to seduce you, and the hustle and bustle only seem to amplify it. While the outer edges of the city are largely shantytowns, built piecemeal by migrants from elsewhere in the country, hidden among them are a number of gems, such as the pyramids of Tenayuca, Santa Cecilia Acatitlán and Cuicuilco, and the canals of Xochimilco.
Brief history
The Aztecs (or, to use their own name, the Mexica) founded their capital of Tenochtitlán in 1325 on an island in the middle of a lake, at a spot foretold by their god Huitzilopochtli, and it was from here that their empire grew to cover the whole of central Mexico. This empire was already firmly established when Hernán Cortés and his troops arrived in November 1519. The Aztec emperor, Moctezuma II (Montezuma), a broodingly religious man, apparently believed Cortés to be a reincarnation of the pale-skinned, bearded god Quetzalcoatl. Accordingly he admitted him to the city – fearfully, but with a show of ceremonious welcome. The Spanish repaid this hospitality by taking Moctezuma prisoner. They then attacked the great Aztec temples, killing priests and placing Christian chapels alongside their altars.
Growing unrest in the city at the emperor's passivity, and at the rapacious behaviour of his guests, led to rebellion. In June 1520, Moctezuma was killed – according to the Spanish, stoned to death by his own people while trying to quell a riot – and the Spaniards fled the city with heavy losses on what they called Noche Triste (Sad Night). Cortés and his surviving followers escaped to Tlaxcala to regroup. In May 1521, with numbers swelled by indigenous allies, and ships built in secret to attack by water, the Spaniards laid siege to Tenochtitlán, landing on the south of the island and fighting their way north through the city, street by bloody street. The Aztec emperor Cuauhtémoc was finally captured on 13 August 1521 and subsequently tortured to try to find out where his supposed treasure was hidden. He was finally executed four years later in Honduras.
Spanish and post-colonial Mexico City
The Spanish systematically smashed every visible aspect of Aztec culture, as often as not using the very stones of the old city to construct the new. The new city developed slowly in its early years. It spread far wider, however, as the lake was drained, filled and built over. Pestilent from the earliest days, the inadequately drained waters harboured fevers, and the native population was constantly swept by epidemics of European diseases. Many of the buildings, too, simply began to sink into the soft lake bed, a process probably accelerated by regular earthquakes.
By the third quarter of the nineteenth century, the city comprised little more than the area around the Zócalo and Alameda. Chapultepec Castle, Coyoacán, San Ángel and the Basilica of Guadalupe were still surrounded by fields and the last of the basin's former lakes. From late 1870 through to 1911, however, the dictator Porfirio Díaz presided over an unprecedented, and self-aggrandizing, building programme that saw the installation of trams, the expansion of public transport and the draining of some of the last sections of the Lago de Texcoco, which had previously hemmed the city in. These all fuelled further growth, and by the outbreak of the Revolution in 1910, Mexico City's residents numbered over four hundred thousand, regaining for the first time in four centuries the population level it had held before the Conquest.
The modern city
During the Revolution, thousands fled to rapidly industrializing Mexico City in search of jobs and a better life. Between 1910 and the mid-1940s the city's population quadrupled and the cracks in the infrastructure quickly became gaping holes. Houses couldn't be built quickly enough to cope with the seven-percent annual growth, and many people couldn't afford them anyway, so shantytowns of scrap-metal and cardboard sprang up. Most neighbourhoods had little or no water supply and sanitation was an afterthought. Gradually, civic leaders tried to address the lot of citizens by improving the services and housing in shantytowns, but even as they worked, a new ring of slums mushroomed just a little further out. This expansion badly strained the transport system, necessitating the construction of a Metro system in the late 1960s.
Urban growth continues today: some statisticians estimate that there are a thousand new arrivals each day, mainly from high-unemployment rural areas, and the urban area now extends beyond the limits of the Distrito Federal and into the surrounding states. Despite the spread, Mexico City remains one of the world's most densely and heavily populated cities, with an unenviable list of major social and physical problems, including an extreme vulnerability to earthquakes – the last big one, in 1985, killed over nine thousand people, made one hundred thousand homeless and left many of the city's buildings decidedly skewed.Read More
Tenochtitlán – the city that walked on water
Tenochtitlán – the city that walked on water
The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán was built on an island in the middle of a lake traversed by great causeways, a beautiful, strictly regulated, stone-built city of three hundred thousand residents. The Aztecs had arrived at the lake around 1325, after years of wandering and living off what they could scavenge or pillage from settled communities. According to legend, their patron god Huitzilopochtli had ordered them to build a city where they found an eagle perched on a cactus, and devouring a snake. It is this legend that is the basis of the nopal, eagle and snake motif that forms the centrepiece of the modern Mexican flag.
The lake proved an ideal site: well stocked with fish, it was also fertile, once the Aztecs had constructed chinampas, or floating gardens of reeds. These enabled them to grow crops on the lake, as a result of which they were self-sufficient in food. The lake also made the city virtually impregnable: the causeways, when they were completed, could be flooded and the bridges raised to thwart attacks (or escape, as the Spanish found on the Noche Triste).
The island city eventually grew to cover an area of some thirteen square kilometres, much of it reclaimed from the lake, and from this base the Aztecs were able to begin their programme of expansion: initially dominating the valley by a series of strategic alliances, war and treachery, and finally, in a period of less than a hundred years before the brutal Spanish Conquest of 1521, establishing an empire that demanded tribute from, and traded with, the most distant parts of the country. Yet almost nothing of this amazing city survived the Conquest. "All that I saw then," Bernal Díaz later wrote of his account of Tenochtitlán, "is overthrown and destroyed; nothing is left standing." It is only relatively recently – particularly during construction of the Metro, and with the 1978 discovery of remains of the Templo Mayor beneath the colonial Zócalo – that a few remains of Tenochtitlán have been brought to light.
The city's defeat, moreover, is still a harsh memory: Cortés himself is hardly revered, but the natives who assisted him, and in particular Moctezuma and Malinche, the woman who acted as Cortés' interpreter, are non-people. You won't find a monument to Moctezuma in the country, though Cuauhtémoc, his successor who led the fierce resistance, is commemorated everywhere; Malinche is represented, acidly, in some of Diego Rivera's more outspoken murals.
Mariachi in Plaza Garibaldi
Mariachi in Plaza Garibaldi
Plaza Garibaldi (Metros Bellas Artes and Garibaldi) is the traditional final call on a long night around the capital's bars, and as the night wears on and the drinking continues, it can get pretty rowdy. The plaza is on Lázaro Cárdenas, five blocks north of Bellas Artes in a thoroughly sleazy area of cheap bars, grimy hotels and several brightly lit theatres offering burlesque and strip shows. Despite a high-profile police presence, pickpockets are always a threat and it's best to avoid coming laden down with expensive camera equipment or an obviously bulging wallet.
Hundreds of competing mariachi bands gather here in the evenings, all in their tight, silver-spangled charro finery and vast sombreros, to play for anyone who'll pay them. A typical group consists of two or four violins, a brass section of three trumpeters standing some way back so as not to drown out the others, three or four men on guitars of varying sizes and a vocalist, though a truly macho man will rent the band and do the serenading himself. Mariachis take their name, supposedly, from the French mariage, it being traditional during the nineteenth-century French intervention to rent a group to play at weddings. You may also come across norteño bands from the border areas with their Tex-Mex brand of country music, or the softer sounds of marimba musicians from the south. Simply wander round the square and you'll get your fill – should you want to be individually serenaded, pick out a group and negotiate your price.
At the back of the square is a huge market hall in which a whole series of stalls serve simple food and vie furiously for customers. Alternatively, there is at least one prominent pulquería on the square, and a number of fairly pricey restaurant/bars, which try to drown out the mariachi bands with their own canned music, and tempt customers with their no-cover entry. The last Metro leaves at midnight.
La Lucha Libre
La Lucha Libre
Though its popularity has waned in recent years, lucha libre, or wrestling, remains one of Mexico's most avidly followed spectator sports. Over a dozen venues in the capital alone host fights several nights a week for a fanatical public. Widely available magazines, comics, photonovels and films recount the real and imagined lives of the rings' heroes and villains, though the nightly telecasts are now a thing of the past.
Mexican wrestling is generally faster, with more complex moves, and more combatants in the ring at any one time than you would normally see in an American or British bout. This can make the action hard to follow for the uninitiated. More important, however, is the maintenance of stage personas, most of whom, heroes or villains, wear masks. The rudos tend to use brute force or indulge in sneaky, underhanded tactics to foil the opposition, while the técnicos use wit and guile to compensate for lack of brawn. This faux battle, not at all unlike WWE on-screen antics, requires a massive suspension of disbelief – crucial if you want to join in the fun.
One of the most bizarre features of wrestling was the emergence of wrestlers as political figures – typically still in costume. The most famous of these, Superbarrio, arose from the struggle of Mexico City's tenant associations for fair rents and decent housing after the 1985 earthquake to become part of mainstream political opposition, even challenging government officials to step into the ring with him, and acting as a sort of unofficial cheerleader at opposition rallies.
The most famous wrestler of all time, however, was without doubt El Santo ("the Saint"). Immortalized in more than twenty movies, with titles such as El Santo vs the Vampire Women, he would fight, eat, drink and play the romantic lead without ever removing his mask, and until after his retirement, he never revealed his identity. His reputation as a gentleman in and out of the ring was legendary, and his death in 1984 widely mourned. His funeral was allegedly the second best-attended in Mexican history after that of President Obregón.
In Mexico City, fights can usually be seen on Tuesdays at the Arena Coliseo, Peru 77 (Metro Allende) and on Fridays at the Arena México, Dr Lucio 197 at Dr Lavista, Colonia Doctores (two blocks south and one east of Metro Balderas, but not a good area to be in at night). Tickets are sold on the door.
Soccer and wrestling may be more popular, but there is no event more quintessentially Mexican than the bullfight. Rooted in Spanish machismo and imbued with multiple layers of symbolism and interpretation, it transcends a mere battle of man against animal. If you don't mind the inherent cruelty of the spectacle (essentially you're watching an animal being artfully tortured to death), it's worth attending a corrida de toros to see this integral part of the Mexican experience. It is a sport that transcends class barriers; every Sunday afternoon during the winter season men and women from all walks of Mexican society file into the stadium – though some admittedly end up in plush sombra (shade) seats while the masses occupy concrete sol (sun) terraces.
Each corrida lasts around two hours and involves six bulls, all from one ranch, with each of three matadors taking two bulls. Typically there will be two Mexican matadors and one from Spain, which still produces the best performers. Each fight is divided into three suertes (acts) or tercios (thirds), each announced by a trumpet blast. During the first tercio, several toreros with large capes tire the bull in preparation for the picadores who, from their mounts atop heavily padded and blindfolded horses, attempt to force a lance between the bull's shoulder blades to further weaken him. The toreros then return for the second tercio, in which one of their number (and sometimes the matador himself) will try to stab six metal-tipped spikes (known as bandilleras) into the bull in as clean and elegant a manner as possible.
Exhausted and frustrated, but by no means docile, the bull is now considered ready for the third and final tercio, the suerte de muleta. The matador continues to tire the bull while pulling off as many graceful and daring moves as possible. By now the crowd will have sensed the bravery and finesse of the matador and the spirit of the bull he is up against, and shouts of "¡Olé!" will reverberate around the stadium with every pass. Eventually the matador will entice the bull to challenge him head-on, standing there with its hooves together. As it charges he will thrust his sword between its shoulder blades and, if it is well executed, the bull will crumple to the sand. However barbaric you might think it is, no one likes to see the bull suffer and even the finest performance will garner the matador little praise without a clean kill. Successful matadors may be awarded one of the bull's ears, rarely two, and perhaps two or three times a season the tail as well. An especially courageous bull may be spared and put out to stud, a cause for much celebration, but this is a rare spectacle.

Accommodation in Mexico City ranges from budget hostels to some of the swankiest hotels in the country, but the best-value places can fill up quickly, so booking ahead is always a good idea. Most places have 24hr reception desks and are geared for late arrivals and early departures, and with reasonably cheap taxi fares into the Zócalo or Zona Rosa, it seldom makes financial sense to stay near the bus stations or airport. However, if you arrive especially late or are just in transit and need a place to rest up for a while, there are places to stay that are very handy for the airport and Terminal del Norte.Book a hostel in Mexico City
Eating and drinking
Eating and drinking
There are reasonably priced restaurants, cafés, taquerías and juice stands on every block. The choice of where to eat ranges from traditional coffeehouses to fast-food lunch counters, taking in expensive international and rock-bottom Mexican cooking along the way, as well as food stalls in markets throughout the city: Merced is the biggest, but not a terribly pleasant place to eat. At the back of Plaza Garibaldi, there's a whole market hall given over to nothing but food stands, each vociferously competing with its neighbours. Mexico City also abounds in rosticerías, roast chicken shops, serving tasty set meals and crispy chicken with beer in a jolly atmosphere. More so than anywhere else in the country, Mexico City is flooded with chain restaurants, both American franchises and slightly classier Mexican chains such as Sanborns and VIPS; on the whole, you're much better off with a comida corrida. Top-class restaurants are mostly concentrated in Polanco.
Nightlife and entertainment
Nightlife and entertainment
Club-oriented nightlife starts late, with live acts often hitting the stage after 11pm and few places really getting going before midnight. Cuban music is particularly popular, and with Cuba just a short flight away, Mexico City provides a local but international proving ground for the island's talent. Mainstream Hollywood movies make it to Mexico just a few weeks after their release in the US and often before they get a British or European release. One of the largest concentrations of cinemas is along Insurgentes, where half a dozen multiplexes total around fifty screens in all. While Mexican theatre tends to be rather turgid, there are often excellent classical music concerts and opera or ballet performances by touring companies. The Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Auditorio Nacional are the main venues, but other downtown theatres, as well as the Polyforum and the Teatro de los Insurgentes, may have interesting shows. For listings, see the weekly magazine Tiempo Libre (wtiempolibre.com.mx).
Shopping and markets
Shopping and markets
The big advantage of shopping in the capital is that you can get goods from all over the country and, if you are flying out of here, you don't have to lug them around Mexico, though they will usually be more expensive than at the source. An odd hangover from Aztec times is the practice of devoting a whole street to one particular trade, which occurs to some extent throughout the city. There are blocks where you can buy nothing but stationery, while other areas are packed exclusively with shoe shops and still others only sell musical instruments. Every area of the city has its own market selling food and essentials, and many others set up stalls for just one day a week along a suburban street. Replica Mexican football shirts can be found in the tianguis (street markets) on San Juan Letrán between Bellas Artes and Salto del Agua, or those in the streets north and east of the Zócalo.
Sport is probably the city's biggest obsession, and while football, wrestling and bullfighting are the three leading lights, the sporting calendar doesn't stop there. One sport that's missing is Frontón, which used to be played at Frontón México, on Plaza de la República, but it closed when the players went on strike in 1993, and has never reopened.

Watch, soon someone will come out with a tweak called anti-predictor. For the people who prefer their privacy.
For a tweak to counter this one, the developer would have to infect Apple's iMessage servers with malware that kept the servers from sending this information to iOS devices, and... yeah let's not get into that.
EDIT: Well actually, they could. I suppose. If they had made it so the data wasn't created on the sender's device in the first place.
"Watch, soon someone will come out with a tweak called anti-predictor. For the people who prefer their privacy."
Hahahahahahahaha!!!! So true.
What if you just turn off iMessage?
iPhones could get away with it.
What is the point? You gonna text someone randomly: "Hey just noticed you started typing something but never sent it." This is an app that will just make you overthink things and make you a creeper and nothing else.
How much data and battery would this drain on an average/day basis?
Then next thing you know someone is complaining about privacy rights and OMG, here we go again. More iPhone rights taken away.
I love my tweaks but I'm not so sure about this one. I think it could become very complicated.
Just My 2 cents.
Or just get look who's typing now

Léopold L. Foulem has exhibited his work in more than 40 solo shows, and his career is now in its fifth decade. He is undoubtedly the best-known Canadian ceramist on the international scene. His rigorous and uncompromising artistic project, whose arsenal includes humour, irony and provocation, is a constant claim for recognition of ceramics as a sovereign art form.
With Léopold L. Foulem: Singularities, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec presents the first true retrospective devoted to this artist who places ceramics – as a discipline and not as a material – at the centre of his concerns.

Maroa - The man accused of the beating and stabbing death of 23-year-old Justin Mentzer plead guilty.
Douglas Taylor,22, plead guilty to the murder of Justin Mentzer. Mentzer was stabbed and beaten in his mobile home, in Maple Tree Mobile Home Park. According to Taylor's sworn statement, Taylor and his accomplice Terris Warnsely, 21, planned on killing Mentzer for about three weeks, so they could steal a Playstation 3 and a laptop computer.
Police located several items linking Taylor to the crime.
Police said, Taylor and Warnsely planned on selling the electronics in Decatur, for money.
Taylor will spend 20 years to life, when he is sentenced later this year. Warnsely is still in jail, facing charges for murder. He is set to appear in court on May 12, for his jury trial.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Drivin' Rikki Waters Home
November 14th, 2008
Rikki Waters begins her XLGirls video with everyone's favorite introduction, an interview with the guy who's going to give her his pole to spin on. Carlos has her walk around the room so he can check her out in her sexy lingerie. He voices his approval which pleases Rikki. He tells her to spank her ass and bend over on the couch for a detailed inspection. "Show me how you like to get spanked," he asks her. Rikki shows how she likes a hard ass-cheek slap followed by a rub. "How hard do you like your ass to be spanked?" questions Carlos. "Real hard," Rikki laughs. Carlos comes over and tries his palm on her butt while Rikki kneels on the couch in a doggie pose. He's not going to win any awards for his spanking technique but Rikki likes it. He's more interested in getting a hands-free suck job while her big tits are propped up on his thigh. Kneeling on the floor, she jacks his shaft with one fist while licking and sucking his hanging nuts. Rikki almost gets all of his cock down her throat. We know talent when we see it and so does Carlos. All the mouth worshiping leads to her first penetration. He positions her into doggie again...he's enchanted by her chunky booty...and slides his tubesteak into her naturally lubricated pussy. Gripping her shoulders from behind, he drives her home the long way. The room is filled with the sounds of thighs slapping against her doughy rump, her cries and his heavy breathing. She's light on the dirty talk, asking Carlos to slap her ass. Rikki may be a fem-dom on her own turf but here at XLGirls.com, she learns who the big dog is. Rikki gets extra points when Carlos lets loose on her ass-cheeks at her request for a splooge butt-coating. She wipes the cum with her palm and then instinctively licks it off her fingers. Good girl. It's healthy for you and contains many vitamins. It's a happy ending for all. Running Time: 22:55

Some quick thoughts from the NHL on TSN panel on Sunday:
Even before the season was over there were stories in the Vancouver newspapers that Alain Vigneault had maybe lost the room and that the team needed a new voice.
Well Vancouver has won back-to-back Presidents' Trophies and when I look at this first round loss I don't see a team that quit on their coach. It didn't look as though Vigneault had lost the room. If Daniel Sedin had been in this from start to finish, maybe the result is a little bit different. But full value to the Los Angeles Kings for winning the series, and from the Vancouver Canucks side: I suppose it's possible Vigneault might not be back next year.
There are really three reasons why you get rid of a coach. One is the sense the general manager feels it's time for a change; that the coach has lost the room. The second is you want change for change's sake. There might be an owner, fans or media that says 'We lost in the first round, we thought we were going to win the Cup, bring us somebody's head.' And the third reason would be if Vigneault senses he's done everything he can and there might be other opportunities he could be interested in – where it's almost a mutual thing – then that's a possibility too.
Mike Gillis will know the temperature of that room better than anybody else, but this doesn't strike me as a 'fire the coach' situation. I'm not saying it won't happen; it just doesn't strike me as a 'fire the coach' situation.
Give Giroux his due
I don't think there's any question that the Philadelphia Flyers are now definitively Claude Giroux's team.
Put the 'C' on his sweater right now.
We don't expect Chris Pronger back anytime soon if at all and Giroux proved in the playoff series win over Pittsburgh why he means so much to the Flyers.
Over the course of the regular season Evgeni Malkin was the best player in the NHL while Giroux was one of the top two or three along with Steven Stamkos. In this series there was no question Giroux was the best player on the ice.
In the big picture of the series 14 points in six games is an unbelievable performance.
But in Game 6 in particular, when things were starting to slide for the Flyers, it was Giroux who on the first shift of the game set the tone. He knocked down Sidney Crosby and scored the goal for the Flyers.
Giroux talked about the pressure before the game and how he wanted to embrace it and he did.
He was the difference maker in so many regards in this series.
Crosby not quite back to old level
Sidney Crosby did have his moments in this series but wasn't always the dominating presence we are used to.
He had the great first period in Game 1 on the goal to start things off. He had the great first period in Game 2 but sustained excellence was difficult to come by.
In Game 3 the wheels came off for him and the Penguins. He got petulant, he got upset and he was unfocused.
He had a good Game 4 but in Game 5 he took that hit from Malkin and almost from that point forward, he really wasn't a noticeable factor in the hockey games.
The situation for Crosby is this: he played just 22 regular season games and his game on a consistent basis wasn't where I'm sure he wanted it to be or where other people hoped it would be.

A little closer to the Hail style and sound than his more recent records, this is eccentric, powerful, wonderfully produced, spookily well played and full of ideas. Rock, stretched rock anyway should be like this. Great, and good to have it back in print. Take your wrong turning here.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My School Is So Blessed and intelligent. Our Principle is very well kept and responsible.
James Madison High School is a great school with a wonderful Principal and teaching staff.
I am please with this school. The leadership is great and the principal cares about her students and staff. I would rate this small high school a five. Academic Excellence is number one.
This school has had a dramatic change From the new principal to the uniforms. It is very strict and the teachers are not that good but In security and discipline it is the best.
This high school, The Great James Madison High School, is a smaller high school that has more cooperative learning from teachers and students. Trust me, this school changes lives! It's a traditional school that has a legacy, a great Code of Conduct, an old quaint feeling that you will love (the kind of feeling when you walk in an older school in the first grade lol), and just because it's in South Dallas, this school performs better than many other schools in the DISD (well, except for Townview lol).
I have had the privilege of being a part of 'The Great James Madison high School for about 7 years now and there has been some changes that I am very happy to see. The principal has done a wonderful job in turning this school around. The kids at this school are very intelligent and they needed some one to show them that love and support from the entire staff. Even though you can't change everyone, you see more respect for our school. Ms. Willard and staff keep up the good work.
This is a great school! alot of people make rude comments about it but it's one of the best schools dallas has to offer. For along time this school has taken bad raps for stuff other schools were doing,a fight breaks out they show madison on the news, or low performing scores,madisons at the top of the list. Madison has some of the brightest students in the district. If people would only stop a look at what these kids have going for them they would see a schools full of stars and they would try to help these kids be all they can be. Madison's hallway is filled with teachers,staff,andcoaches who inspire,mentor,and take care of it's students.If people would only stop the 'rival' mentality.Truth betold, madison doesn't hold any grudges against it's so called 'rivals'.All i'm saying is that madison is the place to be because there help and hope.

Is the Swine Flu Vaccine for You?
Ambivalent about the swine flu vaccine? You're not alone
Who's Against the Vaccine?
Answering those questions can be harder than you'd imagine.
The swine flu—more accurately, the 2009 H1N1 virus—has changed the way many of us think about viruses and vaccines. And many are still struggling to understand a virus that is described in one breath as a deadly global pandemic and in the next as hardly different from seasonal flu.
It's no wonder we're confused.
People who shun the swine flu vaccine tend to fall into two categories: those who aren't concerned about swine flu, and those who are concerned about the vaccine's safety.
Those who don't view swine flu as a serious health risk cite the relatively mild-to-moderate symptoms experienced by many who have contracted the H1N1 virus. A Tennesee mother of two told the Associated Press, "Basically, the swine flu is the flu. I'm not overly excited about it." And for people who don't typically get the seasonal flu, flu shots can seem superfluous. "I never got the flu vaccine. I've never had the flu before—super immune system I guess," says one BabyZone community member.
Meanwhile, those who question the swine flu vaccine's safety cite a variety of concerns.
Some are anxious about thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in roughly 60 percent of the swine flu vaccine doses to be distributed in the US. In July 1999, as a precautionary measure aimed at limiting exposure to mercury, the US moved to eliminate, or seriously reduce, the amount of thimerosal in routine childhood vaccinations—but thimerosal is still used in some other vaccines, including flu shots. Some people believe there are ties between thimerosal and autism.
Others are concerned about Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare auto-immune disorder that caused serious symptoms, including paralysis, in 500 or so of the 40 million people who were vaccinated during the 1976 swine flu immunization campaign. Experts are not sure what triggers GBS—although it is known to strike those who have recently had some kind of respiratory or gastrointestinal illness— and there is no known cure. Studies suggest that roughly one out of 1 million vaccinated persons may be at increased risk of developing GBS.
Additional concerns focus on the rapid development of the vaccine. Those concerns include the possible long-term side effects and whether the H1N1 flu vaccine was rushed to market without being sufficiently studied.

Vanilla Pop Quiz
As of press time, Martini Grille has been handed 22 liquor-law violation citations, and its future as a bar is looking pretty shaky.

Gives an overview of "multilevel statistical models" and their application in public health and biomedical research. Multilevel models are regression models in which the predictor and outcome variables can occur at multiple levels of aggregation: for example, at the personal, family, neighborhood, community and regional levels. They are used to ask questions about the influence of factors at different levels and about their interactions. Multilevel models also account for clustering of outcomes and measurement error in the predictor variables. Students focus on the main ideas and on examples of multi-level models from public health research. Students learn to formulate their substantive questions in terms of a multilevel model, to fit multilevel models using Stata during laboratory sessions and to interpret the results.
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
Prepare graphical and tabular displays of multilevel data that effectively communicate the patterns of scientific interests
Conduct statistical analyses of clustered data by use of multilevel models
Interpret parameters of multilevel statistical models
Fit multilevel models by use of statistical software packages

After rumors about a Lamborghini SUV, is now time to talk about a future Ferrari SUV. And even if Ferrari is about supercars, it seems that company has finally decided that they need a SUV in their line-up. Maybe the conclusion came after Lamborghini decided to built one, or maybe after seeing the success of the Porsche Cayenne, but, in any case the SUV is on its way and will be launched sometime in 2010.
In the past there were rumors saying that Maserati will build an SUV based on the Kubang concept unveiled at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. If built the SUV was supposed to share the same platform with the future Alfa Romeo SUV. We suppose that a future Ferrari SUV will share the same platform with the production version of the Maserati Kubang.
The 2010 Ferrari SUV will be placed (regarding its dimensions) between the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and BMW X5, so this means it will have a length of approx 4.6 meters and will weight around 5000 lbs due to the use of high tech materials.
Under the bonnet of the 2010 Ferrari SUV there will be the same V12 engine used in the 599 GTB that develops 611 hp, but due to the bigger weight of the SVU, it is expected the maximum power to be somewhere arround 600 hp. It will hit a top speed of 186 mph and will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 5 seconds.

Sold: Gerald Ford's home, Hemingway's place
Many Listings of the Week are still available, and some — like Florida's 'Versailles' — have had their asking prices cut. But several sold quickly.
We looked back to see whether any of the past Listings of the Week have sold. Many have not, but some are now available at lower prices.
One that sold quickly was former President Gerald Ford's home in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The offer came just 11 days after it was listed in February, and the home sold for $1.675 million, just slightly below the $1.699 million asking price.
New owners John McIlwee, a Los Angeles celebrity business manager, and Bill Damaschke, chief creative officer of DreamWorks Animation, previously bought and restored a Los Angeles home designed by John Lautner.
Post continues below
They don't plan significant changes to the Ford estate. "You should never significantly alter something that has architectural integrity," McIlwee said in a news release. "Don't turn a midcentury marvel into a monstrosity it was never meant to be."
Ernest Hemingway's boyhood home in suburban Chicago, offered for $525,000, also went quickly. The sale of the three-unit Prairie-style home is pending.
The Winnetka, Ill., home that was the setting for the film "Home Alone" finally sold this month, after almost a year on the market. It sold for $1.585 million, well below the original $2.4 million asking price.
Among the homes that are still available are those of Dick Clark, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, as well as Garrison Keillor's Wisconsin retreat and the former home of Judy Garland.
Several of our Listings have seen some significant price cuts:
- Florida's Versailles, near Orlando, is now available for just $65 million. The house had languished on the market for nearly two years at $75 million, unfinished.
- The "Ashtray House" in New Orleans is now offered for $525,000, down from $729,000 for the 3,650-square-foot home.
- A former New York City firehouse turned luxury townhouse in Tribeca, which was rented by former International Monetary Fund Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, on the market since last fall, has been marked down to $11.995 million from its original $13.99 million asking price.
- The Hawaii home of the late singer Don Ho is now offered at $2.7 million, down from $3 million when it was first offered for sale last summer. Remember that it's a fixer-upper.

" Address: Jl. Tengkulak Ubud "
As I have mentioned in past reviews, I recently went on a trip to Bali where I saw a lot of it doing a guided tour. On the last night we had an extra night to stay in Bali and could choose wherever we wanted to go so I had decided to stay in Ubud as this place had a lot to offer. Now, upon choosing a hotel for the last night it was a hard choice as Ubud has so many great places to stay but I had noticed some were quite pricey for what they were offering. I actually decided to go on lowcostholidays.com in the end where they were offering better priced rooms and I could check Trip Advisor to see if these hotels were as good as they were saying.
The Bhanuswari Resort and Spa caught my eye, I did notice it was a little bit out of Ubud but it had such good comments and when I clicked on their website it was a professional looking website which seemed important to me. Looking at the images and what guests had said this sounded too good to be true for the price. They have the option of a standard, deluxe or superior room, I opted for a superior being the last night but they do also have the choice of private villas, it all depends on what you want. I made my booking and was actually quite excited to finally get here and see what the hype was about especially for what had been paid.
On our taxi to this hotel, it was a drive through a lot of small villages and the taxi driver had not heard of this place before, I was starting to panic the more narrow the roads were getting into the hotel, it surely couldn't be here? I saw a run down building and panicked but after the taxi driver asking if it was nearby, he directed us and when we pulled up I was in shock. It was gorgeous and I was a mix of relief and excitement, a member of staff greeted the driver and instantly took our bags up into the marble hobby where all staff were so polite and helpful. Check in was from 2pm but we were early and still they had the room ready for us, there were a lot of leaflets at reception and comfortable chairs to sit on too.
You can see leaflets on activities, spa treatments, etc but you will get all of these in your room anyway so not to worry. The reception is tied in with the restaurant where meals are served and lots of staff are working so it is very clean upon first impressions. Once checked in, staff took our bags to our room, you turn out of reception and down a path with palm trees and rows of hotel rooms, it is almost like a small village but very posh, it looks out onto the rice paddies and there are two swimming pools, we got to our room and had a ground floor one which has a small porch to sit out on with chairs and a table and a light, it is very nice and I was glad we didn't have an upstairs room, I think these are standard rooms.
Once sliding the doors open to the room, I was amazed it was beautiful, almost 4 star quality really and we paid so little for it. There was a four poster double bed with draping net curtains, a small side tablet with tea and coffee making facilities, some treats and fresh towels made into animal shapes. There was room to leave cases, a tv with cable TV and a DVD player and film choices if you want to pay, it was spacious and I loved the room and it had air conditioning as well which was nice. The bathroom to the back is a big sliding wooden door you open it up with a wet room shower in the corner and large bath in the centre of the tiled floor, it is all open plan and has a mirror and sink there too.
The bathroom was gorgeous and toiletries were in there as well as more freshly cleaned towels, an economical toilet and a large window which it is not possible to be seen in. The bath was spotless as was the whole room really which made a change and also there were Balinese flowers left everywhere to add a touch of colour. There were some DVDs left in the room and a leaflet for room service meals, spa treatments and a history of the Bhanuswari logo which I thought was a nice touch. There is a phone in the room also where you can get a wake up call and can dial room service or reception. There is also free wi-fi which is a great connection throughout the resort never faultering.
So, being the last day of our holiday I wanted to try out everything Bhanuswari had to offer, there were a lot of Ubud activities that could be arranged but I had been here before on the tour and done a few, so I didn't do anymore. Instantly I went to the infinity pool, this was lovely, very clean and there was a little bar area that was shut, it is right on the rice paddies so very tranquil and there is a small circular pool here, it goes quite deep and is just relaxing. There are sun loungers and towels can be picked up for these too. I loved how peaceful it was here and it looked very well kept which was nice, a few others were lying here too.
Now, the room service menu is a fantastic facility, normally room service is expensive but not here and the choice of food is brilliant. There were Western food choices and typical Indonesian choices. I chose a few Indonesian and a club sandwich, you just needed to ring from the hotel room and they even brought it out to the pool area and took it away once finished. An average wait of about 20 minutes for food wasn't bad at all and food averaged at about £4 each meal. The next day I ordered again for lunch before leaving and again had lovely food here, they cook everything so well and this was some of the nicest food I had on my stay.
The breakfast was also very nice here, this was included in the cost and you could choose whatever you fancied. I went for pancakes which became a favourite of mine while here as they serve them a lot. These were lovely, nice and sweet and fresh juice served with them, the restaurant area is very nice and has no glass windows, it is all open so you can hear the sound of the surroundings. Again, staff at breakfast were very friendly and the tables were very clean here too. I only ate at the restaurant for breakfast while here but was very happy with what I was given and wish I could have had even more food.
Next, the spa was another thing I tried out, treatments weren't the cheapest but I booked in for a massage and just had to ring up and book in. They came to the room to get you for the massage and it maybe cost about £10 for an hour which seemed like slightly less but it was that good, I won't complain. It was very relaxing and there was a small room for spa treatments, they also did nails too and offered a good range of treatments. Nothing beats a massage here, what a nice end to a holiday and all equipment was kept very clean, I know I keep saying it but in a place like Bali you don't always get spotless clean rooms so it is nice.
Now, the other great perk of this hotel which made me choose it in the first place was that they offer a free shuttle service to and from Ubud. You just ring reception and book it in and will be taken in a people carrier to wherever you need to go, he will pick you up also if you arrange a time and place and it kind of adds to their service being slightly out of town as this makes it good to stay here. On the way back we wanted picked up earlier and rang the hotel and he still came and got us and took us home, it was roughly a 15 minute journey but the guy was lovely so it didn't seem that bad. I liked this idea of the shuttle it was so easy to do and they always seemed happy to take you in.
I had a great sleep at Bhanuswari and left feeling refreshed, watched a few DVD's and just took it easy in the quiet surroundings. Upon check out we were meant to check out at 10 but we weren't leaving until 2 and asked at reception if they could extend our room until then. Most hotels normally charge extra for this or would decline but they were lovely and checked they availability for the day and just moved who was meant to be going into our room so we could stay until 2, it was very kind of them and I appreciated it so much. They didn't have to do this but they went the extra mile which is why I want to write this review to say how impressed I was by their service.
The facilities here go far beyond what the price entails and they really should get more recognition but I feel being slightly out of town may make people unsure. There were a mix of nationalities staying here and a lot of rooms seemed occupied so a lot of people must be hearing about the Resort & Spa. The staff couldn't have been any better, so friendly, helpful and attentive and I'd definitely go back here and recommend a stay to anyone visiting the area. It isn't the easiest to find but the room was lovely, luxurious and hot water wasn't a problem here, every single detail was thought of to add to a comfortable and carefree stay.
I booked my stay here on lowcostholidays.com where they charged £23.50 for a standard room with breakfast or £27.50 for a deluxe room with breakfast so it is all very reasonably priced.

Do You Know Your Baby's Cognitive Development Milestones?
Although infants were once considered completely passive and unthinking, we now know they can retain knowledge and develop cognitive skills as early as the day they were born. Find out how a baby's brain works in the first year and how to encourage your child's cognitive development.
Question 1 of 10
Your child's cognitive development refers to his:
Select your answer below.
|Increasing conventionality, as he learns to be a "cog" in the larger "machine" of society
Developing intellect, knowledge, and perception
Cognitive development refers to higher brain functioning: awareness, perception, and reasoning, among others. Although babies were once thought of as completely passive and unknowing until they began speaking, we are now aware that even the youngest infants are capable of thinking.
Learn More
|Growth of mechanical knowledge
|Increasing flaws, as he moves away from being a clean slate of untouched perfection
Question 2 of 10
If you notice your baby struggling to get something that is out of his reach, this:
Select your answer below.
|Means she is physically challenged
Shows her natural curiosity and desire to interact with the world

|Means she is a go-getter
Question 3 of 10
By month seven, your child expresses his unique personality by:
Select your answer below.
Showing a preference for certain toys
When your baby reaches for a certain toy over and over again, that's more than a coincidence; it's a preference. Your baby has a personality or temperament that is all his own. And encouraging your child's play may be an effective way to boost his brain!
Learn More
|Mumbling his interests in low tones
|Detailing his dreams through poetry
|Dropping out of tummy time sessions and leaving for Europe to find himself
Question 4 of 10
Is there nothing that a kid won't stick in her mouth? Once Baby passes her first half-birthday, everything ends up soaked in saliva. Why?
Select your answer below.
|She is orally fixated and needs infant counseling
|As taste buds are developing, your baby's natural hunger takes over
This is how she explores the world around her; using her senses helps her learn about herself and her environment
Around six months, babies are in—what's known by some cognitive scientists as—the sensorimotor stage, which means her exploration of the world has taken on a tactile quality. Sucking and touching helps her learn about herself and the world. Sometimes it may get messy, but it's important to Baby's learning and development.
Learn More
|Your child marks her territory with spit; this is her way of making her presence in your household known
Question 5 of 10
At around seven months, you notice that your baby seems to smile whenever you say his name. This is:
Select your answer below.
|A coincidence; stop projecting onto your kid!
|Because he is a genius
|Because he has developed an infantile reflex, known as the Moniker Response
Because he now recognizes it
At seven months, Baby smiles when you call our to him to show you that he knows his name! It is now embedded in his identity; say it and watch him squeal with glee.
Learn More
Question 6 of 10
Playing with your child:
Select your answer below.
|Makes no difference at all in how your kid turns out
|Shows her that the world is a bright and positive place
|Will turn her into a freeloader who thinks life is but a game
Is an important part of her developing proper cognitive functioning and brain development
Play is incredibly important for helping your child develop higher brain functioning. Your child explores the world through toys and games, and playful interaction with you will go a long way toward raising a healthy child. In fact, studies show that children who are neglected have significantly smaller brains than those who are parented properly. So, make sure to bond with your baby—it's never too early to start!
Learn More
Question 7 of 10
You notice your seven-month-old using toys in ways they were not intended to be used. This means:
Select your answer below.
|Your kid can't follow instructions—good luck raising that one!
|He doesn't like his toys
He is right on schedule; exploring toys in various ways is a normal part of cognitive development
Your child won't start to play with things properly until about the time he hits his first birthday. Until then, Baby's creative uses for toys is just a part of him examining the world and interacting with his environment.

Select your answer below.
|Stay the same size
More than double in size

|Double in size
Question 10 of 10
Alert Miss Manners! Your one-year-old is feeding herself with her hands—you should:

It's totally normal for your one-year-old baby to start feeding herself with her hands. She has gone from exploring her food to understanding its function and modifying her interactions accordingly. This may get messy, but rest assured, it's all part of growing up.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A Louisville science museum will be displaying preserved human body parts in an exhibit touted as one that could spur people to live more healthful lives.
The Kentucky Science Center, formerly known as the Louisville Science Center, says the exhibit will open in January. It features human body parts preserved with resin.
Among the displays will be a diseased lung and a healthy lung, side by side. Another will show the complete digestive system.
Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, director of Louisville's public health department, tells The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/QGxsKv ) the exhibit will be the premier health event of 2013.
The exhibit was created by German anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who developed the technique used to preserve the body parts. The technique is called plastination.
