Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is good to see you. Happy New Year.
The year ahead needs to be a period of intensified diplomacy, inroads against poverty and action on climate change.
2014 will be crucial for the Millennium Development Goals as the 2015 deadline approaches fast.
We need clear progress on the post-2015 development agenda, a set of sustainable development goals and the financial means to make it happen.
And if we are to adopt a new global agreement on climate change in 2015, we need to arrive in
As we focus on these long-term foundations for prosperity and peace, the United Nations also faces an overflowing inbox of conflicts and disasters of growing severity, frequency and complexity. These will require much more from the international community – more political attention, more resources, more support.
The situations in
These are avoidable tragedies in which millions of civilians are paying an unconscionable price. I am especially alarmed by the spread of sectarian animosity, and by the dangerous regional and global spillover effects. Years of development are at stake. A generation of young people is at risk.
The United Nations is doing its utmost to ease the suffering and to stay and deliver aid wherever we can even as people flee their homes and countries. UN personnel are all showing tremendous courage and professionalism in volatile conditions.
Humanitarian assistance, vital as it is, can be only part of our response. The international community must pull together to help these countries find the path of peace. Together, we must send a strong message that there will be accountability for the killing, raping, chemical weapons attacks and other atrocious crimes that have been committed.
This past Monday, I have issued formal invitations to the Geneva Conference on
More immediately, there must be an end to all violence, including the Syrian Government's use of barrel bombs and other heavy weapons that kill and maim so indiscriminately.
All parties must improve humanitarian access to people in besieged areas. The situation in
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I welcome the beginning of talks in
I called President Salva Kiir yesterday again and urged him to demonstrate leadership and political flexibility by immediately releasing political prisoners.
In the
Earlier today, the President of the Transition and the Prime Minister resigned. I take note of their decision. I urge all political actors in the country to work urgently to restore security and law and order, and to address the root causes of the persisting instability.
In each of these crises, humanitarian needs are escalating and funding is falling short. I urge all donors to show their solidarity, including at the humanitarian pledging conference for
Ladies and Gentlemen,
2014 is also a year in which the United Nations will support the people of
We will continue to help other countries where transitions have gone astray, fragility is growing, institutions are failing and democratic governance has faltered.
Over the past three days I have been in touch by telephone with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra of
In the months ahead we will look to Israelis and Palestinians to make decisive progress in resolving their conflict and drawing back from a perilous status quo. I am alarmed by this morning's announcement of well over 1,000 settlement units; such activity is not only illegal but also an obstacle to peace.
This year marks a milestone in
2014 will see the United Nations strengthen disaster resilience and push for progress towards a nuclear-weapon-free world.
We will deepen our work on the new Rights Up Front initiative, highlighting the integral role of human rights in the Organization's global mission.
And with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, we will finish the job of eliminating
Last year's chemical weapons attacks in
In this year that marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War, we will strive to push the boundaries of [diplomacy] and collective action. Despite crises and concerns, 2014 also brings major opportunities to build a safer, more just and prosperous world.
I am determined to make this a year of progress for people and the planet.
I thank you, and I wish you and your families continued good health, happiness and prosperity in this happy new year. Thank you.
Q: Thank you, Secretary-General. On behalf of the UN Correspondents Association, Happy New Year and thank you for doing this press conference. I wanted to ask you about
SG: At this time, while the situation is very dire and deteriorating, worsening, with violence continuing while peace talks are going on in Addis Ababa, and there is a huge humanitarian crisis and also human rights violations, and I have been urging all the parties there to refrain from taking violent actions. The United Nations is, at this moment, accommodating around 75,000 displaced persons in several United Nations camps. We urge the President, Salva Kiir, of
Q: And do you think sanctions could help?
SG: That is something which, you know, I am not in a position to make comment on, because sanctions are something [on] which the Security Council has to take decisions. As you know, because of very serious human rights violations, I'm going to dispatch Assistant Secretary-General Ivan Simonovic of the Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights this weekend. He is going to visit
We will strengthen our monitoring capacity in
Q: Mr. Secretary-General, Happy New Year to you, sir; thank you so much. Your Special Coordinator of the Joint Mission with the OPCW [Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons], Sigrid Kaag, has been briefing in closed session the Security Council this week. My question to you, sir, is come 30 June, and the aim is to remove all of the chemical weapons from Syria and to destroy them, come 30 June, and this has been done according to the Joint Mission, can you put your hand on your heart and say that all chemical weapons have been removed from Syria, reminding you that these weapons that are going to be removed are based on a manifest given by the Syrian Government to the OPCW? And I do have a short follow-up. Thank you so much.
SG: I met the Joint Special Coordinator of the Joint Mission, Sigrid Kaag, earlier this week, and she briefed me about further progress that has been made towards the removal and elimination of the Syrian chemical weapons programme. As you know, the first quantity of priority chemical weapons and materials has been shipped out of Latakia port, and this process will continue. Event though there was a bit of delay in our programme, I think everything is now moving on schedule. The deadline of 30 June is, of course, very tight, very tight, because of the continuing violence in the region, but we will spare no effort. The Joint Mission is working day and night. So let us see, and our position at this time is to provide full support. In that regard, I would really like to thank those countries which have been providing logistical support by providing transportation, ships and naval escorts.
Q: Sorry, sir, my question was: Once 30 June comes and you certify that Syria is empty of chemical, based on the manifest that the Syrian Government itself gave to the OPCW, are you prepared then, if an attack happens after the certification, to blame the opposition, because you have given a certification to the Syrian Government by then?
SG: That certification and verification of the process, whether all of these chemical weapons and materials and facilities have been destroyed – that is up to the Joint Mission and the OPCW to do that, after 30 June, that we have to watch at this time.
Q: Mr. Secretary-General, also Happy New Year to you. The Syrian Government has a different interpretation of the terms of reference when going to Geneva II. They're talking about the fight in the war on terror, whereas you say very clearly that the terms of reference are the implementation of
SG: First of all, for the first part of your question, let me again remind all of you that the key goal of this Geneva Conference is to reach an agreement on a transitional governing body with full executive power by mutual consent. That was the exact wording of the
First, I will convene this international conference for one day. Then, there will be a one-day pause to move from Montreux to
About this recent situation in
Q: Where?
SG: In
Q: Thank you. On the
SG: The names of the countries have already been announced by Lakhdar Brahimi. And we expect that those countries who will be participating will come with a firm position to support and help the Syrian parties so that they will be able to agree on that. And those, whoever may have influence on those parties, should exercise their influence so that they will cease violence as soon as possible. That is my expectation.
Q: Mr. Secretary-General, thank you for this briefing. The fight or the combating of terrorism looks like the world is not winning so far; to the contrary, it is a growing phenomenon and it is threatening the world at large, not just certain areas. How do you view this battle in Al Anbar in
SG: First of all, I have been following very closely the current situation in
For the second part, I am not aware of any information about that.
Q: Secretary-General, you touched on the
SG: The situation in
At the same time, there are serious human rights and humanitarian situations there. I think almost half, two million people – the total population is about 4 million people – then about two million people have been affected. At least one million people in [the country] are now displaced and there are serious human rights violations. We are now strengthening our human rights violations [teams]. The United Nations are fully committed to help the Central African Republic emerge from this terrible crisis and to build peace.
In that regard, this announcement of resignation of transitional President Djotodia and also Prime Minister [Nicolas] Tiangaye -- I know that this is a decision of themselves, upon the discussions of the regional countries in N'Djamena yesterday. It's going on. And I have taken note of it. I sincerely hope that there will be quick restoration of institutions. There is no functioning government, unfortunately. There is a limit for the international community and the United Nations when there is no functioning government, no functioning institutions. Then there should be a full and quick restoration of institutions there. And we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance, despite the very difficult and dire situation.
Q: The High Commissioner for Human Rights said the other day that they had given up trying to count and verify the number of dead in
SG: This is a very important question. The High Commissioner, Navi Pillay, has announced last year – I think that statistic was as of the end of April last year, which was announced in June—around 100,000 people. We believe that by this time, well over 100,000 people have been killed. And hundreds of thousand people have been wounded.
It has become quite difficult for the Human Rights Office to follow up on all those statistics of people killed and injured because of the very difficult security situation. We do not have much to the sources of information access but we will try our best to update these statistics. What is important at this time is that the parties must stop the violence. They are killing among themselves. More than 40% of hospitals – that means two out of five hospitals -- have been destroyed and another 20% of hospitals are not properly functioning. Schools have been destroyed. So most of the infrastructure and institutions have been destroyed. Then they must think about their future, how can they reconstruct their country. I am afraid that they have lost maybe decades of their developments by this time.
Q: My question is about the last month resolution in GA [General Assembly] about the vote against violations and extremism which Iranian President [Hassan] Rouhani proposed to you and in GA meeting. I need your comment and especially about article 14 of this resolution [inaudible].
SG: The United Nations' position is quite clear: that we are against all forms of violence and discrimination, whoever and wherever it may be. In that regard I am urging all the parties and countries to respect human rights. As I said, we are going to put the priority and focus more on human rights protection. The Rights Up Front Action Plan is based on that. We are going to do much more, focusing on protecting human rights. While all this conflicts and violence are taking place, people are being affected, who being killed and whose human rights are not being properly protected. In that regard, I cannot emphasize more the importance of human rights.
Thank you very much for your support and cooperation. I hope we will work together. We need the support of the media. Whatever we do at the United Nations or as the international community, I think you are the connectors; you are the persons who really communicate, help communicate from us to the people on the ground. I sincerely hope that you will also be closely engaged. And I will make myself available as often, as possible, whenever opportunities arise. Thank you very much. I wish you the best.
· The Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights says that it is concerned about the recent decision of Malaysia's Ministry of Home Affairs to declare COMANGO, a coalition comprising 54 Malaysian civil society organizations, illegal.
· The Ministry of Home Affairs has said in a press statement that COMANGO, which consists mainly of non-Islamic organizations, promotes rights which are not in line with Islam and is therefore illegal.
· The Office is concerned at what appears to be an act of reprisal against COMANGO for its engagement with international human rights mechanism, notably the Universal Period Reviews.
· It calls on the Government of Malaysia to maximize the space for human rights activists and organizations to operate freely and to ensure that they can conduct their legitimate activities without intimidation or harassment.

From here http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,4932.0.html
I had posted a request for more support for blogging in the wish list in Joomla..... A lot of people had suggested that I was better off with using a external blogging tool..So after a look here and there and a bit of research ..... I narrowed it down to two blogging tools...... WordPress and b2evolution .......then I did some more googling at the end of which I felt wordpress is better than B2evolution.
Reasons are given below
One funny thing I noticed was B2evolution has a huge XHTML button on the bottom of the page and claim on their main page
"Web standards compliance.
There's even an integrated XHTML checker to help you post valid content."
read more here ......
Well I tried validating their frontpage and a few other pages It was full of errors Sad
the WordPress guys were very modest they don't even have a XHTML validating Icon on their page and all their pages validate And the best part is they validate as XhtmL 1.1 wow Kiss
OK I am not trying to say being XHTML is everthing just because their pages validate ........ I am talking about the ethics and the quality of works if you look at the chart comparison between wordpress and B2evolution in the references given below you will see that in terms of features they are almost equal.
Also a B2evolution Vs WordPress Google fight Click here revealed that WordPress is 23 times more popular

Opinions so far
Have to say after playing the demo I cant wait for this game :D The second boss was so fun and the part where his sword went through the earth was awesome haha. What are your guys opinion on the game ?
this game is freak in ridiculous. Haven't seen this much crazy since Bayonetta. Definitely gonna be picking this one up. No way I'm passing up a chance to get an artistic and unique game like this. Be nice to get away from all the damn military shooters.
after playing the demo... I'm deleting this from my gamefly queue. it's just a huge sequence of quicktime events. the art style is awesome, and the over the top ridiculousness of the action is great, but the actual gameplay... eh. if they made this into an anime I'd watch it religiously.
When I first played this I did think it was mostly qte sequences but the sheer madness and epicness won me over. Plus I felt awesome whupping ass (even though I was just mashin the right buttons.)
Fighting one boss, some soldiers attack and you fight them like you would any other game so hopefully there's norm combat too!
I'm thinking the qte sequences will only be in the boss battles.
If the demo turns out to be a good indicator of the final product, I probably won't get it.
Too many QTE. But I'll wait for reviews
TBH i wasn't that interested in it to begin with but the demo was pretty bad. Way, way, way too many QTEs
I was curious how many times I could put my controller down, not participate in the QTE, and the game would still progress as if I had; was stunned when the answer was more than 'zero.'
No thank you.
I thought that the demo was amazing. :3 Sure, there were a lot of QTEs, but the demo also only had boss battles, so I'm sure there are less in regular gameplay.
The soundtrack though...mm-mm good. I mean, c'mon. Any game that uses Dvorak's New World Symphony HAS to be amazing.
I couldn't believe it, this game is ridiculous. It's like they tried to make it be so serious and "grand" in scope, it turns out being laughable. Asura must be the retarded child of Kratos and an asian hog.
Before I tried this demo, I used "pants-on-head retarded" as an expression for something beyond terrible, I shall use "Asura retarded" from now on.
I could not refrain myself from laughing all the way through the demo, it looks that silly.
I wanted to buy this day 1, but I think I'll probably be getting it when it's 10 bucks for teh ultimate *DOOOOOOOHHHHH Y Y B A A X X X <- LS RS->* LOLZ. (and 1k GS)
I thought the demo was alright. Nothing spectacular.
wasn't gonna get it played the demo gettin it.
Its just made me LOL! :D Love it!
The demo has pretty much killed any interest I had in this game. I got so bored I didn't even finish it.
Really? ^ =/
I agree the QTEs might get a bit boring, but I think the game will b relativly varied.
Willi put on my profile thou if I don't see clarification on "a certain number" and secret cheevos, I doubt
I really enjoyed the crazy Japanese god killing demo, yes there were quick time events, but at the end of the day i still had fun.
very surprised at the amount of people that don't like qte's especially since there's not much games with them anymore, whateva i really enjoyed them.
Wasn't really expecting too much before the demo. Played the demo. I noticed that the boss battles didn't have too much actual game play, but as for being actually entertained, this more than fit the bill. The bosses aren't hard, but I don't think this game is intended to be hard. Not "hard" like Dark Souls cheapness or "hard" like Bayonetta's chaos management.
I pay to be entertained, not endlessly eat up time, though sometimes that happens (Tales of Vesperia, Skyrim, etc). With the over saturation of modern war/post apocalyptic/RPG FPS games out there, I'm really looking forward to this; it's a nice break from "samey" stuff, over and over again.
I expect this game to get flak for the QTEs, though. People tend to hate them based on their existence alone. After all, Resident Evil 4 was filled to the fucking brim with pointless and anti-climactic QTEs, but it's the only game people tend to call it a masterpiece despite a quarter of the game revolving around mashing a button and pressing another at predefined time so you could avoid hearing Leon's death orgasm. I don't mind QTEs if I get a decent show.
Yeah, I'll be getting this.
Bought it in the end, fantastic
I've played the demo a few days ago and it wasn't too bad. It relied a lot on quick time events and a story that I wasn't able to follow, but maybe there's more to the game than just this? I don't know about buying it especially since I have other purchases planned, but maybe I'll consider this one in the end if it has a lot of gameplay value or gets discounted.
If only the KoA demo was this much fun! :D
The devs of this game said that each episode would be like an episode of anime, that's what they're going for and I enjoyed it. It's like a cross between God of War and Heavy Rain.
I'm not sure, to be frank. It seemed the only way to defeat bosses was through use of ONLY quick time events. Its as though i'm not even playing the game, but instead repeatedly pushing the same button over and over again.
I checked out the demo, and I gotta say the action had me pretty interested. The backstory had a nice feel and flow to it, and the visuals and concepts within the game are pretty interesting - especially with such beautiful scenery, graphics, and amazing looking characters. However, I was a bit concerned by the how the boss battles played out, an example being his projectile aim/functions. The fight against his mentor was pretty intense once you got yourself into it, but unfortunately I wasn't really able to actually participate as much as I would have liked in these battles. The whole QTE section has a Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 feel to it - which is obvious, considering it's source, but it doesn't seem as open in the boss battles as UNS2 was. Then again, we were only shown a preview of the boss battles - a work that was still in progress at the time that the demo was made. I think that this game has potential - wonderful potential in fact, but only for those who are truly willing to give this somewhat new form of gameplay a chance and enjoy it as it goes along, rather than simply comparing it to other games that have QTEs. Personally I just hope that they didn't take that entire episodes concept too seriously and made a majority of the game feel as if you're just slightly involved in the game while treating your controller like it's a part-time TV remote. That would be a pretty unfortunate outcome for those who are first day buyers/pre-order buyers. Aside from that, I say bring on the rage, and make him a special character in Street Fighter x Tekken!!!
The demo makes it seems like an interactive movie instead of a game, and frankly, I'm OK with that.
it can't come out soon enough. I watch a video on it like every couple days. Game looks intense. I didn't even know about the demo so hhhyeaahhh!

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has long offered outstanding performance, style, luxury and comfort. Those attributes will only get better for the 2012 SL-Class. With its excellent retractable hard top, which automatically opens or closes in just 16 seconds, the 2012 SL-Class provides both quiet coupe-like driving and open-air motoring. This makes the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL Class is one of the most versatile
convertibles on the market.
2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class still has a knack for turning heads. The 2012 SL-Class remains a classic choice for well-to-do consumers who wish to flaunt their wealth by driving a world-class convertible tourer.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class isn't cheap by any means. Even the base 2012 SL-Class commands a price that's thousands of dollars more than its closest competitors.
With Mercedes' flagship SL-Class nearing the end of its current (and famously long) model generation, changes are minimal for 2012. The only change is the discontinuation of V12-powered models.
While it's far from a lightweight sports car, the SL-Class provides an enjoyably sharp driving experience. Steering, braking and handling are all beautifully precise and up to the task of...
... handling both aggressive driving and emergency maneuvers. That's thanks largely to the impressive level of engineering that went into the chassis and suspension, but also due to the unseen arsenal of computer driving aids. Active Body Control works to level the vehicle in sharp turns and can deploy an integrated rollover protection system in the event of an imminent rollover. With 382 horsepower in standard trim, the SL-Class is both powerful and refined.
Retractable Hardtop
The retractable hardtop works flawlessly and, when in place, offers a cabin that is as handsomely appointed inside as any Mercedes coupe.
Panorama Glass Panel Top
The available panorama glass panel top puts a unique twist on the retractable hardtop.
The cabin of the 2012 SL-Class offers all of the high-quality materials and technological wizardry we've come to expect from a top-level Mercedes vehicle. Nearly everything inside is automated in one form or another and can often be customized to fit the driver's preference. That said, some of the systems, particularly the COMAND interface, can be counter-intuitive and time-consuming to learn. With the folding hard top open, the trunk offers seven cubic feet of cargo space.
The 2012 SL-Class has a classic sports car aesthetic, thanks to proportions borrowed from the hallowed halls of historical automotive design. The SL pays tribute to many of the most beautiful sports
coupes and convertibles ever created, thanks to its long nose and short trunk deck. Unlike many retractable hard-top vehicles, the 2012 SL-Class looks as beautiful with its top in place as it does with it stowed. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class remains one of the most attractive vehicles in the Silver Arrow family.
Even in base trim, the SL-Class comes loaded with plenty of standard gear. Buyers will find dual-zone climate control, an illuminated keyless entry fob, hard-drive-based navigation and an excellent 510-watt sound system. In addition, every SL-Class comes with a number of standard safety features, including an automatic rollover protection system and frontal and side-impact air bags.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is available with a trim package that includes leather and wood accents throughout the cabin. Another option package includes keyless start, excellent ventilated seats and an electronic trunk closer. Other options include a wheel package, automatic cruise control and Parktronic park assist.
The standard 2012 SL550's 382-horsepower 5.5-liter V8 provides more than enough power and fun for nearly any driver. Speed freaks, thrill seekers and millionaires will no doubt opt for the supercharged SL63 AMG, which offers 518 horsepower thanks to its 6.2 liters of roaring, AMG-tuned V8 power.
5.5-liter V8
382 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
391 lb-ft of torque @ 2,800-4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/22
6.2-liter V8 Supercharged
518 horsepower @ 6,800 rpm
465 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/19

Repairs? Well I've "gone naked" for 2 years now - NO WARRANTY! So far - expenses normally covered by warranty total $180! That's it $180 - for 2 YEARS!! For a crankshaft sensor that I picked up on line for $50. Worked perfect! Put it in myself - no biggie - the video "how to" was on the internet. Like changing a spark plug - it was so easy. Oh yeah - one other thing - the rear motor mount started to sag creating a slight vibration at 1800 RPM during acceleration until it warmed up. The car had to go on the rack to replace it - $130 - all in. THAT'S IT - 2 years and she still drives like a NEW car. BUT I MAINTAIN HER BY THE BOOK and always at the dealership. IT MATTERS MORE THAN YOU KNOW! I buy my tires at Costco because they have a transferable mileage warranty and I go thru a set every 12k - they warranty for 20k. The other great news - this car was so successful for MB there is now a very competitive after market for consumables and short life parts - means you can maintain your $150,000 vehicle for the same bucks as a guy with a $50,000 Whatever.

But who wants to drive a car with more than two perfect seats on those trips when one can avoid it. With the Pano roof, it is light and bright inside even when the roof is up. Isolation and rigidity are as good as with a fixed roof Mercedes sedan. You can take it through a car wash. But when the roof comes down, everything about the car can be more fully appreciated, augmented by beautiful music of the 32 valve tamed beast of an engine. I love everything about my SL550. I am spoiled for other cars, for life."

"SL500 performance and ride are second to none. Highway cruising is relaxing and acceleration is beautiful in passing lane. In town the car does not disappoint you in stop and start environment, easily one of the best performing autos available."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have owned a lot of exotics. This is the only one that is everyday driving friendly. Actually I have to laugh as it only has 11,600 miles on it. I have several cars and drive a BMW 750LI most of the time. I plan to drive it a lot more this year. Mine has built in radar detector which I just love. It is sporty, fast, and fun to drive in any conditions. Not driving it is a sin as the turbo needs action. I kept it at my Lake Home for a couple of years and due to not driving had a $6K turbo repair. I now keep it here and drive it 20 to 30 miles a week. New ones are around $220K. If you can get a low mileage older one...Grab it, enjoy it, and never look back."

Pros: "Good looking car and fun to drive"
Cons: "Extremely expensive to maintain. Many problems."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"Great looking car and fun to drive, particularly in the summer with the roof down. However, in four years of ownership (from 30k miles to 75k miles) I've had around $15k in repairs. A set of shock absorbers will set you back $7.5k - although fortunately I only had to get the rear ones done for a mere $4k. Various problems with the ABC system have cost me around $6k. Three problems with the electical/computer system another $3k. Various other issues bring the total up to $15k. I will not be buying another Mercedes and do not recommend this car unless you have money to throw away."

Amanda's Thai Peanut
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
By far the best and healthiest Thai Peanut I've EVER tasted. It's highly requested by family and friends!!! This quick recipe is just for two people, but it doubles and triples extremely well when we have company over. Give it a try!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 0.5 (8 ounce) package fettuccine (not the wheat noodles)
- 1 1⁄2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces (fresh or frozen)
- 1⁄2 carrot, grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
- In a large pot, cook fettucini as directed. Towards the end of the pasta cooking, add the broccoli into the pot to cook for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- In a greased large saucepan, heat garlic on med-high heat for 2 minutes.
- Add red pepper flakes, ginger, and brown sugar into the saucepan. Allow to cook another 2 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and peanut butter to the saucepan. Use a spaghetti spoon or whisk to mix in the peanut butter to the liquid to form a sauce.
- When the sauce begins to bubble, add the cooked pasta/broccoli to the saucepan. Mix well. Add the carrot. Mix well to prevent clumps.
- Enjoy!

When cooked exactly as per the provided recipe, I found the sauce to be too thick (my garlic was burning at 2 minutes, too), and the fettuccine far too large. In later attempts of this recipe, I shot for an "idiot version" pad thai: I combined steps 2 and 3, and shortened the cooking time to about 90 seconds total, used a packet of re-hydrated rice stick noodles instead of the fettuccine, and added 1/4 - 1/2 cup of hot water at the very end, which made the sauce more creamy. My variation has made it into my family's regular menu rotation!
Love the sauce. Used it for egg noodles with stir fry.
I agree with another viewer that if I had completely followed the instructions my meal would have an unfavorable outcome. My garlic was burning at about 2 minutes (even though I had already added in the next few ingredients as per the recipe. I also felt it needed a lot more veggies, so I added 1/2 of a zucchini, 1 portobello mushroom, and doubled the amt of broccoli. We did enjoy this very rich vegan dinner with a cucumber salad on the side.

Customer Finds
Location: North Carolina
Metal Detector Used: M-Series (800-0308)
White's Electronics,
A couple of weeks ago, I had decided to put the stock coil on my MXT to try it out. When I had purchased my MXT, I bought a DD coil and have always used this since the beginning.
I have only been metal detecting for less than a year, but have been pleasantly surprised by the ease and depth of the MXT. Anyways, I went to a Confederate camp site here in VA near Guinea Station. My buddy and I were digging up a few Gardner bullets and TONS of percussion caps when I got a faint signal.
Since I had found several percussion caps in that same area, I just assumed it was yet another one. I dug the hole and to my surprise it was a cuff sized button. Because of the dirt, I couldn't quite tell what the button was.
Once I got home, I was able to clean it up. As it turns out, it was a North Carolina state seal cuff button (NC-9). This is a pretty rare button and I am definitely proud to own it. Thanks to White's for making a machine this good and easy to use.
Thanks again,
Ted S.

I see that others have had a similar problem, however I am unsure how to resolve it. I love Blackbird Pie, as I think it adds a lot to my blog...however, I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work....I've been using blackbird for months, but I believe it stopped working when I updated wordpress.
I'd appreciate any advice you could offer on how to resolve the issue.
Thank you!!

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. Usually the symptoms get better, but then come back. Some may come and go, while others linger.
Keep track of your symptoms to help your doctor monitor the course of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment..
Whether you have a diagnosis or are worried about symptoms, know that MS doesn't have to control your life. You can work with your doctor to treat and manage your symptoms so you can stay healthy and continue to live the life you want.
Early Symptoms of MS
- Blurred or double vision
- Thinking problems
- Clumsiness or a lack of coordination
- Loss of balance
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness in an arm or leg
No two people have exactly the same symptoms of MS.
You may have a single symptom, and then go months or years without any others. A problem can also happen just one time, go away, and never return. For some people, the symptoms become worse within weeks or months.
Common Symptoms of MS
These are the most common changes to the mind and body in someone with MS. Keep in mind that the severity of symptoms varies greatly and many people go years with only mild symptoms that come and go.
Unusual sensations: People with MS often say they feel a "pins and needles" sensation. They may also have numbness, itching, burning, stabbing, or tearing pains. About half of people with MS have these uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, they can be managed or treated.
Bladder problems: About 8 in 10 people have bladder problems, which can be treated. You may need to urinate more often, need to go at night, or have trouble emptying your bladder fully. Bowel problems, especially constipation, are also common.
Trouble walking: MS can cause muscle weakness or spasms, which make it more difficult to walk. Balance problems, numb feet, and fatigue can also make walking more difficult.
Dizziness: You may feel dizzy or lightheaded. You usually won't have vertigo, or the feeling that the room is spinning.

State of Iraqi Society and U.S. Politics: Two Views
The state of Iraqi society weighs heavily in U.S. political discussions, with much riding on the promise of free elections there. For two views on current U.S. policy in Iraq, NPR's Robert Siegel speaks with Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International, and Juan Cole, professor at the University of Michigan.

Found the item very good. Had a great time putting it on. Had a pair of white Gogo boots as in the illustration. Went to a fancy dress party, turned a few heads, a lovely evening dressed enfemme. Be back soon to purchase some more items from you. Thank you very much.
May 21, 2015, by Sara B - Naestved, Denmark
Even though it was a bit shorter than I expected, it was okay. I look amazing in it, and it really compliments my figure. (I'm not that thin or skinny, so it is really great). I'm very happy about it, and i can't wait to wear it on my last school day :D
November 24, 2014, by Catherine T - Hertfordshire, UK - United Kingdom
Comes up very short but if you're going to a fancy dress party you just have to go for it! I got so many compliments when I wore it last week. Lovely bright colours, good fit. Worth every penny.
August 18, 2014, by Tovey T - Devon, UK - United Kingdom
The costume is great, a very flattering dress shape, the material is stretchy so makes wearing a lot easier, however the dress was a lot shorter than I'd anticipated, but it still looks good
July 7, 2014, by C S - Glasgow, UK - United Kingdom
Great costume with excellent material, very stretchy. A little shorter than expected but good quality & shiny fabric makes it look really good.

Prague Off The Beaten Path Tips by sandysmith Top 5 Page for this destination
Prague Off The Beaten Path: 751 reviews and 1,080 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
Ungelt courtyard
A little alley at the side of Tyn Church, past the street sellars, leads to the Ungelt courtyard. (Ty'n 2. Prague 1) There is a great coffee house here - Ebel's serving freshly brewed coffee - a great place to pause for a break off for the city sights and regather your energies. A good Jazz club is in this area too.
Website: http://www.ebelcoffee.cz
Old Pavillion
Walking from Letna Park in the direction of Petrin you will come acrosss this old cast iron structure which was built for the 1891 Exhibition of Paris. It was subsequently dismantled and relocated here. It has quite an ornate staircaase on the other side.
In the summer it is a popular cafe and a pleasant place to see the views of Prague. In March however it looked desolate and deserted.
Steps of Charles Bridge
Too often people are intent in crossing the Charles Bridge that they miss the steps down into the lovely quiet square of Na Kampe. If these steps look familiar its because they were used in the Mission Impossible film
gate to Maltese Church
Just behind Na Kampe is the quiet odd shaped Maltese Square -with its embassy of course. There are some nice restaurants and pubs here as well as the grand buildings and fountain in the centre. Just nearby is the Church of our Lady beneath the Chain. This is the oldest church in the Little Quarter - being founded in the 12th century. Churches sem to have such odd names here but this one reflects that there was a chain in the Middle Ages to close off the monastery gatehouse. The church was presented to the Knights of St John (the Maltese Order). This is reflected in the lovely portal and gate of the chuch - please enlarge pic to see the detail of the knights on the grille work and the maltese cross above the door.
Ukrainian Church
Towards the top of Petrin Hill is this 18th century wooden folk church which was moved here from a village in the Ukrraine. Just a pity there was building work or path maintenance going on as it made it difficult to get a proper look.
the "dancers"
Keep walking down the embankment past the National Theatre and soon you will come to this strange architecturally designed building, renowned as the "Ginger and Fred Ginger" building after the two dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
The building is owned by a Dutch company, offices were built in 1996 by Frank Gehry. There is also a restaurant here you can enjoy
bridges of Prague
Better than the metronome on top on Letna Park is the views you have over Prague. In particular the views of the bridges makes it wothwhile ascending the many steps.
It was a bit overcast when we were up here but the pic gives you a general idea of the view to be had.
The Metronome is situated in Letna Park (acrosss the river from the Jewish quarter and keep climbing up those steps).
It was buil in 1991 and installed after the Velvet Revolution to replace Stallin's statue which had been blown up in 1962.
The area up here is strwn with rubbish, bit of an eyesore really. The metronome is not at all popular - quite noisy too - and may soon be replaced, so if its no longer there when you go you;ll know why!
Baths of Libuse ruins
Vysehrad was supposedly the origins of the first seat of czech royalty. Today perched on top of the wooded crop of rock on which the castle was built - HRAD means castle -are the remains of the baths of Libuse (Prague's prophetess) which was a defence bastion.
After that is straight down to the river!
To see this view of the baths walk through the park with the sculptures and take the path on the right. Here there also good views of the River Vltava.
fancy facade
The facade above the main entrance to the church of St Peter and St Paul is really intricate. Just enlarge the picture and see the detail of this beautiful sculpture.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
This Exit, No Return
A Reader's Theatre, By Joy Cowdery continued...
Beth Ann: Craven was born four weeks premature. I watched him for developmental milestones daily. Everything seemed to going well for the first five months. All of a sudden, at six months, I noticed that Craven was not cooing or babbling like a typical six-month-old. Of course, my mother and husband thought I was crazy. I was "just looking for something to be wrong." Just to shut me up, my husband said, "Just go have him tested so you can quit worrying." I did. Craven was started in speech therapy the next day. At ten months old, my husband and I were told by three therapists that they thought Craven had autism. Now they were telling me that there was something wrong…with Craven… with our genes…with our unborn child I was now carrying. What had I done?
My husband cried immediately, "Not my son. He acts nothing like Rain Man." Four years into this, my parents and his are still not convinced.
Karen: Our life as we knew it was over. Making adjustments by just having a baby was enough, but talk about overwhelming. I was numb and so was my husband. That first week I didn't have time to think about much. I was sent home to wait and worry if my son was going to live. I would sit and cry and avoid people. They had said that they could "fix" him once he was born. I just kept thinking, why is God punishing me? What could I have done? So many questions and no answers...Joey is my first and only child. I don't know what it is like to have a "normal" child. I have never been able to fully enjoy just being a new mom.
Jill: Mason was 15 months old when we received his diagnosis of Angelman syndrome. He was 9 months old when we first knew something wasn't right. At first, our pediatrician told us to put the baby books away and enjoy him since he was just a "lazy baby" and would catch up soon enough. At 12 months when he wasn't sitting on his own, we pushed further. His neurologist ordered a battery of tests, all of which came back normal, and then steered us towards physical therapy and early intervention, again all the while assuring us he was just a little on the slow side, but she was sure he would surprise us all and take off. A few months later, I sought genetic testing on my own with a free genetic clinic. The call came one bleak March afternoon. He called my husband and announced that Mason had Angelman syndrome and asked what type of seizure medicine he was on. "Seizures? Angelman?" My husband hung up and called me at work. I headed home and straight for the computer. Reading the information on the Angelman website was like watching a horrible car wreck in slow motion. I felt like I had a boulder sitting in the pit of my stomach. I stood up from the computer ready to vomit... My husband grabbed me crying and we clung together sobbing without knowing what to say.

Jon Stewart has No Jokes About Charleston
You might have already gotten used to us sharing Jon Stewart's amazing jokes about news-worthy item du jour, and let's face it, since he's leaving the Daily Show soon, we want to share as much as possible. But last night, Jon Stewart's regular sobering dose of truth came unmasked with humor.
Jon Stewart Goes After Dov Hikind and the 'War on Purim'
New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind just keeps getting into more trouble for his massive faux-pas dressing up in blackface as a "black basketball player" for Purim. After he got blasted by pretty much everyone, including the Anti-Defamation League, Hikind issued a begrudging apology, saying he did not mean to offend anybody and was sorry if anyone was. But that didn't stop Jon Stewart for calling him out last night on The Daily Show.
Jon Stewart In Awe of 'The Island President'
You heard about the new documentary film "The Island President" here in the Forward first. Now Jon Stewart has gotten a hold of the story. More specifically, he invited the film's star, Mohamed Nasheed, former President of the Maldives, to appear on The Daily Show for an exclusive interview.
Jon Stewart, Dubbed The Most Influential Man, Interviews Obama Tonight
President Barack Obama and Jon Stewart. One of the pair is the most influential man in the world, and the other hopes to sway young Americans to show up at the polls and vote Democrat on November 2 with a TV appearance tonight.
Rick Sanchez and Anti-Semitism
By this point, we all know the details of former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez's fall from grace. As fast as he rose from fill-in anchor in the mid-2000s to host of a two-hour, social media-inspired afternoon broadcast, Rick's List, he was out the door, taken down by one of the great taboos left standing in America: anti-Semitism.

Skip to comments.Petraeus: Airline Bomb Plot Had Roots in Yemen
Posted on 01/01/2010 9:49:18 PM PST by ErnstStavroBlofeld
One of America's top military leaders says Yemen-based terrorists helped plan the Christmas Day, December 25, plot to blow up a U.S. bound airplane.
General David Petraeus told reporters in Baghdad Friday that the U.S. and Yemen have been sharing information about al-Qaida in the country, including activity that "resulted in the failed attack on the airliner."
The head of the U.S. Central Command said Yemen has carried out "very significant" operations against al-Qaida, some of which prevented a series of suicide bombings.
General Petraeus said the United States is helping Yemen, but that its neighbors have also provided significant assistance.
Earlier this week, a group known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing of a flight from Amsterdam to the U.S. city of Detroit, saying it was in retaliation for U.S. support of operations against al-Qaida militants in Yemen.
The suspect in the case, 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has told U.S. investigators he got training and explosives in Yemen.
Yemen has been intensifying its campaign against rebels and suspected al-Qaida terrorists, conducting a series of airstrikes and other raids that it says resulted in militant deaths and arrests.
On Wednesday, Yemeni forces clashed with al-Qaida militants in Yemen's western Hudaydah province, wounding several suspected militants and capturing at least one.
A spokesman for Yemen's ruling party, Tarek al-Shami, said the government will continue to coordinate with the U.S. to target al-Qaida throughout Yemen.
Yemen is the ancestral home of al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden.
(Excerpt) Read more at globalsecurity.org ...
Yo MAN! Looks like the briefing before Christmas was just part of the cooperation between US and Yeman!...a series of suicide bombers....mmm mmm mmm.
What did the WH staff know and when did they tell BO?
Looks like Zero's word is not stable enough. Everyone is looking for a real leader to speak with authority...enter Petraeus.
How would this fit into Rahm stepping down and the leaks? Flaw at WH being magnified?
Oh boy.
From General Petraeus himself!
Great post, sonofstrangelove!
Petreaus speaking out certainly does make the WH look more and more incompetent....Like where is the CIC? Is he spending any time reading the briefs?...or just chosing his irons for the next day? OTOH he doesn't know what real work is, he's gotten by with just being present and still drew the check......just like many union workers.
Is Rahm stepping down?
General Petreaus has done this for a reason. For a very serious reason.
Starwise just posted on another thread that Bret Baer had said on FOX tonight Rahm would be stepping down to run for Senate from Illinois and Little Tommy would be taking his place.....FOX had spread rumors for a couple of weeks now that he was going to be replaced.....
I imagine they are planning on him taking Dirty's place when he is removed from head of the party in the Senate. After all it wasn't Harry that made the deals but the WH and Rahm & Co/CHicago Thugs.
You betcha.....Hope he tells more.
I am very intrigued by "thee" General's statement to the press. Brett's show is replaying on FNC now.
Am I reading that wrong, or is that
that some not so subtle warfare
going on between Petraeus and the WH.
Whew .. it could get really bumpy.
Hold on. Dear God, I would be grateful
and relieved beyond measure if Petraeus
would run for POTUS.
No, not reading it wrong, IMO.
Our favorite general said this for a very serious reason.
Just sent the link on Pretreus to Drudge....WHo else can we send it to?....Rush and Beck are both on vacation.....Might as well stir the pot a bit.....mmm mmm mmm
FOX has been saying Rahm is stepping down since before CHristmas...mention on Beck and O'Really IIRC.
The the leaks started from others. Some to throw doubt on the CIA others to throw it back....
IMO Pet is just letting them know HE KNOWS who knew what when....and they'd better get their act together...or he WILL testify to what he knows.
You have to remember that our General and "our" military guys (not Weasley Clark and Obama's lackeys) are wholly against closing GITMO and repatriating the detainees back to their countries of origin (read Yemen and his plans to send another 80 back to Yemen).
This Christmas bombing that almost took place was entirely preventable, and almost everyone knows that much now.
I think General Petraeus is making certain that Obama and the news media here are fully aware of the Yemen and US cooperation and that the cooperation was in effect before and during the plotting of the Christmas Day event.
Call it a shot across the bow or a reaffirmation of the other leaks. It is what it is and I'm sure he has more to say, if he's asked.
Why listen to Petraeus? doesn't have the ball$ to say his CINC is an Indonesian. seriously...
Well, Mark Levin is a member here: holdonnow and he returns tomorrow to host his radio show.
Oh please. That's NOT for him to say.
This will be a great Special Report to
keep, recapping the whole year. The
comments and distillation of the current
lay of the land with the rats are razor
sharp and very insightful.
Transcript and video should be up tomorrow.
Krauthammer can crystallize a the big picture
scenario so brilliantly.
Are you going to post it?
I will when I find it tomorrow .. it's not up.
;) Listen to the very end again.
I just thought about Brit Hume .. he
should've been on the panel for this
wrapup of the year ... darn.
Ya know maybe FOX has something on RE and they're just worrying him a bit....Wonder what Beck has picked up with his few good people who have given him information on wrong doing?
As far as PET goes...Can't see him going along with the CIC in covering ANY thing up.
Thank goodness this isn't connected to terrorism in general. /s
Not in my world that's not.
After 9/11 the FAA instituted a mandate that required all flights in the air when an incident like this occurs to be informed to alert the pilots of the possibility of it happening on many flights simultaneously.
Why did this not happen on Christmas day? Everyone in the air that day found out about it after they landed. Where is the media investigation and the calling for heads to roll?
I HATE what they've just been saying
about the real Obomination healthcare
will be. That's it's really going to
happen. We'll be like England and
Canada, and the rotten rats have built
in 'forever.' The insurance companies
will be like public utilities, managed
by big brother. God help us.
OH, hoosiermama! GOOD thinking!!!! You may have hit the precise reason Brett made his prediction.
Regarding PET: Completely agree. He'd resign. He'd never go along with any cover-up.
Oh, I think there's a bushelful of stuff
on Rahmbo .. and Valerie. It's the
Chicago thug machine .. there's bodies
everywhere. It's just a matter of who
gets ticked off enough at the O to let
I got an idea! How about we send some Gitmo "detainees" to Yemen?
Not for him to say? He raised his right hand and took an oath to defend the Constitution. He's a politician and a tool and a traitor for knowingly breaking his oath. It's legitamate to hang him.
Star you are so right about the CHicago Thugs. I've slowed down posting to the CHicago Crime thread....
Guess I should make a new years resolution to start posting materials and organize what I have.....There are so many dots there. Just wish there would be more arrests....Maybe they're waiting till after to twenty-ten election so they will have enough votes to impeach.
Right, it's not for the General to say.
He works for the CIC who was elected by the stupid Americans who voted for him.
YOU lead the charge to hang him. Go ahead, since you sound so brave. Stand up, come out from behind your keyboard.
cc,You are wrong....I've been a birther long before O even ran for president....Unless there is proof in a court of law every official of the government and every citizen must at least outwardly follow along....all the time trying to find the proof that O and him minions have removed, hidden or murdered.....Yes, I said murdered to keep the truth surpressed.
There are at least three missionaries in Kenya that lost their lives because they knew the truth, but proving he ordered their deaths is next to impossible, because he knows who to pay off and how to keep people quiet.
Believe me, if the physical proof was out there he wouldn't be in office today.
What are the chances that awful Rahm will win the US senate seat in Illinois?
I fear "too good," given the Daley machine, etc.
Daschle in the WH is another nightmare. He's gawd awful too.
You do know that Pres. Nixon eliminated the death penalty for treason don't you?
hmm, that sound like a veiled attempt to call me a chikenhawk. I took the same oath as him. I carried a rifle and stood post. I'm involved in the peaceful lawsuits and am willing to move past that. And when it comes to that, you shouldn't feel safe either. Oh, and complete BS on the Nixon shrill. Treason is still a hangable offense.
Sounds like a plan and a GOOD New Years's resolution. I hate to organize material. Not good at it.
I guess somebody needs to tell the Kenyan communist Ubama:
Fmr. CIA Operative Wayne Simmons Outraged Obama Would Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Yemen
I shouldn't fell safe? From you? Why is THAT? You'd better get a grip. You started this by posting foolishly about General Petraeus and it's been pointed out to you by other members that it is not his duty to call out the "elected civilian commander-in-chief" for (your claim) "BEING AN INDONESIAN".
BTW: I said nothing about Nixon. You mistaken your posters. Try again.
Are you threatening a poster here? You had better explain that and it had better be quick.
No I am not threatening anybody. It's appropriate to call me out. My point is we are not living in normal times. If you're relying on politicians to give you answers you are looking in the wrong direction and putting yourself and your loved ones in danger. Petraeus (and Palin) is another politician. Happy New Year!
Thank you, TigersEye.
That's good to hear.
Not a problem. ;-)
Not that I know of! Rahm is Obamas lead guy as a go between COngress and the WH.If Rahm had Sh_t for brains he would be a toilet.

Conventional Wisdom
As small as the new players are, conventional supermarket operators have taken notice and are rethinking their own strategies. Some have sought their own financing to update stores and expand into new markets. One such company — Heinen's Fine Foods — is investing more than $10 million to turn an old Staples office supply store into a 38,000-square-foot supermarket in the Chicago suburb of Barrington, Ill. What's telling is that the new location is an eight-hour ...

I just upgraded to WP 3 and something has slowly gone bad. It was working fine for a few days but then I got an error trying to load a page that a script was taking too long. Now the whole site's down and we've narrowed it down to an issue fetching from the database.
I'd like to disable all of the plugins via mysql (since I can't get logged in) but I'm having trouble locating where they are stored in the database. There is only the active plugins (3 plugins) in the table active_plugins and now of the network active plugins are in there (the other 47 or so).
Can anyone point me to the table I need to disable all of the plugins?

Today was such a tease- I got home and saw a missed call from Florida! Googled the number, not disney(wasnt 407 but thought there might be another for contest.) Then I raced to get a call but missed it, this one was a 407 #! Before I got to google it, they called my cell and I am thinking this is it, I won and they are trying to reach me!!!
It was a stupid "there is nothing wrong with your credit card" call- Spam. UGH, so dissapointing. Then to top it off, a disney email about discount- no winning, no pin.
Heres to hoping someone else gets that wonderful call though

Very nice
This is a discussion on Wilsons are like a drug!!! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I went and did it again. I've said it to others and others have said it as well. Wilson's are like Lays Potato ...
Well I went and did it again. I've said it to others and others have said it as well. Wilson's are like Lays Potato Chips......you wont be satisfied with just one.
Some time ago I read an article about the Wilson Professional in one of my gun rags written by, of all people, a noted revolver afficinado named John Taffin. Of course his article made this gun look like some sort of "supergun" and he touted it attributes and supposedly bought the test gun sent to him. The gun was finished in Wilson's durable Armour-Tuff finish and I was somewhat enamored with the look of the gun. I am partial to the 4" 1911's. After that I bought my first Wilson...a CQB 5" and the relationship began. About 6 months later I came across a CQB Compact while looking for a Professional. No one had one in stock and I like to handle a gun before buying, so an online sale was not an issue for me. I have enjoyed them both through many hundred rounds and many targets with small ragged holes in their 10 rings. I recieved a call from the dealer that I have bought the other two Wilson's from, informing me that he had a Stainless Professional in his delivery from Wilson and would I be interested in one. I told him to hold it back and I would be there in about an hour. He then asked me if I still had that stainless Champion might I want to trade it in on the Wilson. It seems that he had someone come in his store asking for one. So needless to say, after some wheeling & dealing to get the numbers right for my pocketbook, and filling out the paperwork, I brought home another member to my Wilson family.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
Tex - beautiful gun - love the look of it. I am rather partial to stainless I must admit.
Well - go get'r'broke in!!!
Will this become your 1º carry when all settled in?

I have to say that is absolutely beautiful and I bet it's a shooter and a half too. Glad you like it.
Nice lookin' 1911. A bit flashy for me, but none the less a very nice gun. Looks perfect, no extra bells and whistles, just a good, reliable piece.
Now that looks like a gun I would be proud to own! If it shoots half as good as it looks, you are in for more fun than a man has the right to have!!

Beautiful piece. Gotta love a stainless commander size 1911
I love the Professional, awesome gun.

I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
Damn, that's beautiful. When do we get the range report?
What a nice looking 1911! When I see pictures of classy leather carry rigs, this is the type of pistol I picture them carrying. Very nice!
Thanks Gang for your compliments!!!
Oh, I am chomping at the bit to shoot the darn thing, but the weather has taken a turn for the worse. If I can make it outdoors this weekend I will at least put a few rounds downrange. I loaded a snap cap into it today and checked the trigger pull......a crisp 3.75 lbs. This is a bit light for me and for my carry weapon, but I will just have to learn to live with it. Cycling the slide by hand is like ball bearings in oil, just like my other two Wilson's. I was concerned that the Stainless would not be as smooth as the Armour-Tuff guns.
My CQB Compact outshot my CQB fullsize, which was contrary to the guarantee by Wilson. I hope this gun does the same and am sure it will live up to the accuracy, functionality and dependability that is the reputation of the Wilson brand. I want to get it to the range for some controlled shooting from a bench and can make a decent report.
I truly think that if this gun is half of what I think it will be, it will be my 100 percent carry gun.
Flashy it is.......no doubt!!! I have always chosen the stainless pistols and revolvers that I have, because of their resistance to the elements. My Stainless Ruger Redhawk in .41mag is my primary whitetail hunting weapon, after my Hoyt compound bow. I have hunted with it in all kinds of adverse weather without any evidence of corrosion or rust. My Stainless Taurus Model 415 in .41mag ported 2" snubby is my truck and ranch gun and here in South Texas we sweat, I mean sweat. I have ruined at least one holster from swear saturation, but the gun has never had any problems. My Stainless Ruger SP-101 is my wifes favorite ranch carry. They are all exposed to the elements regularly and the stainless, in my opinion is much better suited for those environments. The Stainless Professional will be carried next to my skin, IWB, daily, only a stones throw from the Texas gulf coast and that salt air humid environment it provides. I have two other Wilsons, a CQB and a CQB Compact, both coated with Armour-Tuff and supposedly almost impervious to such environments........but the stainless does not wear off!!
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
Damn!! That is way cool for an out the box gun - NICE!!!!checked the trigger pull......a crisp 3.75 lbs.

She has high anxiety and extreme nervous energy and is bored, but nursing home activities do not interest her nor television. Can Trazodone help with all this along with helping her to sleep? She is verbal in a loud way and I'm afraid we might b asked to leave. Help.

Hello unhappyinnursinghome. Yes it is safe and once beginning the drug she will be monitored. It certainly will act as a sedative and in this regard, help curb her anxiety as well as her getting a sound nights sleep, rest. However given her age, the dose will likely be minimal. Regards pledge

Hello, I wanted to let you know I understand your situation. It's a bad thing for everyone involved. My mom is in a NH for dementia & she is very paranoid. I may ck on the trazodone for her. But, they already have her on Risperdal twice daily. I don't know if its a side affect or her dementia worsening, but, her paranoid is worse. My mom is in wheelchair, but, keeps trying to get up. She will be 91 July 1st. It's an unwelcomed journey.
