Do you remember how it used to feel leaving a good restaurant? The endorphin-induced glow of wellbeing, tightness about the waistband, the pleasing alcoholic buzz and a feeling of rightness with the world. That seems to be happening less and less these days. It's far more common to find ourselves back out on the pavement, 90 minutes after arrival, chillingly sober, wondering what to do next. Somehow a restaurant meal, an event that used to constitute an entire evening out, has passed through a kind of temporal compression. Eating out has become so fast and efficient that we need to plan another way to amuse ourselves for the rest of the evening.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't going to be one of those tedious "Grumpy Old Man" rants about being told by some shrivel-lipped waitroid that "We'll need the table back by 10" - though God knows that's a reprehensible enough development. No, it wouldn't be right to blame the restaurants alone. This is a bigger problem.
It is partly a matter of evolution. Much of the image we have of eating out, many of the rituals and expectations, derive from the Victorian high point of grand dining. The notion of sitting in a dimly-lit public room and being brought food by uniformed servants began with aristocratic clubmen in side whiskers necking nine courses. Ever since, we've gradually whittled meals down. Soup, a separate fish course and the savoury (which came after pudding) have all been dismissed as unnecessary and unfashionable excesses.
Our alcoholic horizons have similarly diminished. Diners used to order a different wine for every course. That's not irresponsible use of alcohol; it's the traditional way to enjoy a meal. Today few restaurants are set up to provide a wide enough variety of wine by the glass and few customers or waiting staff have the skill to choose it. The modern way is to share a single bottle of general-purpose red or white.
Of course, no one except the most ridiculous retro food-fogey would actually advocate a return to the Victorian style of banqueting - it can be hell sourcing free-range swan - but it does seem that modernisation has tended to reduce the experience rather than enrich it. It has certainly streamlined the process.
The buzzword of the past few years has been tapas-style dining - tapas being a Spanish word meaning "a disorientating spread of side plates, presented to terminally indecisive urbanites with unpredictable tastes, diets and food allergies so they can still eat together". If the Spanish knew what we were doing with tapas they would laugh till they choked on their confitted elvers. In Spain, tapas come spread throughout a 10-hour evening, punctuating long draughts of complex sherries and passionate conversation; here they're dumped at the table all at once with an imprecation to "share" that sounds like an order to eat up and get out.
In part, the problem also lies with our own changing demands as customers. We don't necessarily want something heavy in an evening meal so we're cutting down. Many will plump for two starters or, if ordering a main, make starter and dessert an either/or option.
This has become such a trend that a recent story in the New York Times asked if the entree (main course) is in danger of becoming extinct. It seems that neurotic Manhattanites find the whole idea of the main course requires an uncomfortable level of commitment to a single dish - and, no, I'm not making this up.
At first glance, this doesn't seem so unreasonable. We don't want (and certainly don't need) to eat like Victorian plutocrats every time we go out. Often something light and fast - what the trade refers to as "dine'n'dash eating solutions" - hits the spot, and some restaurants have evolved to meet the need. A new breed of posh fast-food operations such as the nationwide chain Wagamama, and London's Busaba Eathai bring great innovative tastes when we don't have time to spare. In fact they can be quite blisteringly fast - on a recent visit to Thomasina Miers's hip Mexican street canteen Wahaca I was brilliantly fed, watered and hurled satisfied into the streets of Covent Garden in 23 minutes flat. All well and good, only don't make the mistake of going on a date there.
The customer trend for eating less and faster is beginning to undermine the mid-to-higher-range places where the majority of us go in search of an evening out. If customers enter an ordinary decent restaurant, with organised, efficient service and order two courses, it's almost impossible for the staff to spin things out for more than an hour. A friend and her boyfriend were bitterly disappointed after their plans for a special Saturday night out at the upmarket Brighton restaurant, the Strand, were thwarted when their three-course £50-per-head meal was over in a measly 40 minutes.
Some high-end establishments have really grasped the issue. Heston Blumenthal, who believes that eating is a multi-sensory experience, runs his tasting menu at the Fat Duck in Bray over several hours with all sorts of carefully planned tableside busking; though admittedly, as the bill could easily cover a weeks' rent and staff wages in a lesser restaurant, time- and cost-effectiveness may not be his biggest worry. Other restaurants also offer tasting menus, and some offer wines in small, two-glass carafes to encourage matching with the food, but this is only really happening at the expensive places such as Anthony Demetre's Arbutus in London's Soho, where they don't have to make a daily choice between turning tables and laying off staff.
In the past decade, our national attitude to food has evolved with confusing speed. We're really starting to get the hang of being a foodie nation. Our restaurants and our knowledge and appreciation of food approach that of the French, Spanish or Italians and we're closing fast. What we haven't yet developed is their knack of taking their time. Slow food isn't just a matter of taking years to rear and days to cook; it's also about taking hours to appreciate it. It's about taking our time to eat and about calm, unrushed and appropriate service.
This is a joint problem. Diners need to demand the right to take their time, and restaurateurs with ambitions beyond mass catering should be falling over themselves to encourage slow eating. If we don't, we'll see the idea of "going out for dinner" lose its relevance. Going out for a meal will be about taking on nourishment on our way to the pub or the cinema, or worse, something we can't afford to do. We need to slow down and work out how we can turn a meal back into an event.

Leaders from the University of Iowa and the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs gathered in Des Moines earlier this month to sign an agreement that creates an externship program abroad for UI law students. The externship is available to any UI law student who has completed at least one year of law school, takes place at the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs and involves international law research.
Dia duit! That means hello in Irish. My name is Kelsey O'Donnell and I am junior at the University of Iowa studying International Studies and Anthropology. For my entire junior year, however, I am studying abroad in Cork, Ireland at University College Cork. While here, I am taking classes in History, Folklore, French, Literature, and Politics. I chose to study in Ireland because it is a beautiful country with friendly people. I knew that it would be a good choice for my first long-term stay abroad. University College Cork has a great international reputation and the campus is gorgeous.
My sexual identity has never been an easy subject with me. I like to say it is similar to having your worst fear tattooed on your forehead. So, I was branded with "GAY" on my forehead. There were nights where I hated every part of myself because of this one little section of my being, but there were also nights that I felt amazing because of my differences. Going to a nation that the majority of popular opinion is opposed to gay marriage was daunting and it made me think about more than just my sexual identity.
First, a question for my fellow study abroad students (or potential ones). Is there such thing as the perfect host family? Well, I think so, and they go by the names, Harumichi and Machico. However, they have requested I call them 'Otousan' and 'Okaasan,' or 'Father' and 'Mother.' To my fellow Americans back home who are unaware of Japanese culture, this may seem slightly odd. However, in Japan, this is actually seen as quite normal and also, to a degree, respectful. They are an elderly couple who have a few children of their own (who now live elsewhere) and have done everything they can to make me feel like part of the family.
On the first day of class, I can't tell if the teacher is giving an overview of the course or trying to convince people to drop it. Perhaps the culprit of my confusion is my participation in a rigorous study abroad program at Peking University, known as the "Harvard of China", through which I am directly enrolled in classes with Chinese undergraduate students at the School of Economics and the School of International Studies.
"Dude, you're a senior. Why are you studying abroad?" Okay, I haven't actually been asked this question by another human being, but I have contemplated it on numerous occasions. Now, have I answered this question to myself? Yes. Yes I have.
I've studied Arabic for three years. I can write papers, discuss ideas, give presentations, and I can't even ask a taxi driver what the fare is in Morocco. Or I couldn't yesterday morning, when my fellow international student and I took a taxi with four other people (two in the front seat, four squeezed in the back) to the city of Meknès, about an hour away from campus, for the day. We were lucky– there happened to be someone else in the taxi who spoke English.
Harry Leeds had expected students to be shy about writing poetry in English, the way any student might be nervous about writing and sharing personal work in a second language. When it came to the 20 Kazakh students in his poetry workshop, however, he was wrong: "Some people didn't want to share with the group," Leeds says, "but everyone wrote."
Yesterday morning, bright and far too early, I and about forty other students and staff set out for Zaouia Sidi Abd es-Salaam, a nine-kilometer hike through the forest from Al Akhawayn University's campus. Organized by the Interfaith Alliance, the goal of our hike was to see the zaouia, a shrine built over the mausoleum of a famous Moroccan holy man Sidi Abd es-Salaam, and see the limestone caves for which the city of Ifrane was named (in the local Berber dialect).

This summer, Meena Khandelwal was awarded over $83,000 by the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA) Program to lead a group of UI students and faculty to India to investigate the curious case of the chulha- a wood fueled cook-stove- used in rural areas across India. Often cited as a cause of deforestation and pollution, efforts to replace them with solar cookers have been widespread but largely unsuccessful. This project will bring together UI engineers, anthropologists, urban planners, and historians to examine chulhas from every dimension: what has motivated efforts to improve them, what interventions have occurred, and why have these efforts tended to fail.
My name is Luke Bader. I'm a senior at the University of Iowa working towards a major in International Studies, a Writing certificate, and a Japanese minor. This semester (Fall 2015) I thought I'd team up with the study abroad department at the university to give you my experience while studying in Nagasaki, Japan. This will be my second time in Japan and I am so excited to be back! This time I am going through the 'University Studies Abroad Consortium' (USAC) and through Nagasaki University's 'Japan Studies in Nagasaki' (JASIN) program.
Hello University of Iowa students thinking about studying abroad! Last year, around this time, I was looking into studying abroad just like you! This experience has changed my life. I saw my textbooks come to life, met amazing people, and, above all, found myself.
2015 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of "Don Quixote," volume two. Cervantes' masterpiece is widely considered to be the first novel, but is best known for the comic duo of the crazy knight-errant, Don Quixote, and his chubby squire, Sancho Panza, whose down-to-earth simplicity makes his master's flights of fancy even more ridiculous. Centuries after they first appeared in print, these two characters continue to inspire new artistic production throughout the world, in art, music and film. The digital age has only enhanced their popularity, as a new generation re-envisions the knight and squire in video games and graphic novels.
The University of Iowa Old Capitol Museum will host "The Quest Begins: Opening Reception for Quixote at 400."

Cuba conjures images of colonial architecture, salsa dancing, old cars, cigars, rich culture, and the legacy of Fidel Castro, just to name of few. But none of these were what most drew University of Iowa student Nadia Doubiany to the island nation. Doubiany craved an academic adventure.
Many students at the University of Iowa are interested in studying abroad to seek business internships, learn about other cultures or try great food. Similarly, there were many reasons that influenced my decision to study in Shanghai.
What better way to kick off the weekend than with a little traditional Chinese culture? Join us for a night of beautiful Chinese folk songs, classic excerpts from Beijing Opera and Sichuan Opera, a Chinese magician and more as the Confucius Insititute presents "Amazing China"!

Funeral Insurance, or often called Final Expense insurance or Burial Insurance is a whole life insurance policy designed to provide financial coverage from expenses resulting in ones funeral.These policies are typically around $10,000-$20,000 in coverage, and while called funeral insurance, the funds can be used for any expenses that may incur in a families time of need. They are typically much easier to qualify for than larger life insurance policies and do not require a medical exam.
Funeral Insurance is certainly not the most fun thing to talk about but as you age, thinking about your financial future and well-being of your family is something that naturally and regularly comes up. Throughout middle age, many people purchase life insurance policies, health plans, supplemental insurance policies, and retirement plans. Oftentimes, however, expenses can occur even after somebody passes away, which leaves cost out of their control and it often becomes a burden to surviving family members.
The term funeral insurance can be misleading. It is impossible to purchase an insurance policy that will specifically cover all of the expenses related to your death, but it is possible to purchase a small policy that will help alleviate the cost of your funeral once you pass away. Because of this, funeral insurance plans are a small life insurance policy that will leave some money to those who will eventually be responsible for the costs of your final expenses.
You many also hear a funeral insurance plan commonly referred to as burial insurance, final expense insurance, or pre-need insurance. Although different people will refer to it with different names, it is the same product. There are different kinds of policies available, however.
While burial and funeral insurance plans are always small life insurance policies, there are three main options when it comes to who receives the money or who provides the policy.
As you consider purchasing a final expense insurance policy, remember to purchase a plan that best suits your needs. Determine which aspects of your final expenses you will want to have covered, and decide how much you will need to pay for your arrangements. These are some good points to consider:
Once you have determined your specific insurance needs, you will be able to contact different policy providers to discuss policy amounts and pricing. We have made the shopping process simple by helping compare rates for you. Simply fill out the form and we will help provide you with a free quote for a burial insurance policy.
As you shop for a funeral insurance policy, be sure to keep in mind your exact needs and don't purchase a plan that provides coverage you don't want or won't need. This policy is meant to bring peace of mind to your family as well as yourself and should help alleviate any financial burden or stress. Fill out the form or call (888) 953-9816 to speak with a licensed insurance professional who can help you asses your needs and build a custom policy that will work for you.
We've proudly helped thousands of families get affordable final expense insurance.

If anyone still doubts that George W. Bush and Tony Blair were the closest of allies, the text of a July 2002 note from the U.K. Premier to the U.S. President, revealed in a new book, should dispel any lingering skepticism. "You know, George, whatever you decide to do [about Iraq], I'm with you," Blair assured his friend.
The End of the Party, an account by British political commentator Andrew Rawnsley of how Britain's Labour government came to squander a huge popular mandate to face possible defeat in the forthcoming parliamentary elections, identifies a multiplicity of contributory factors. Blair's unwavering determination to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with a martial U.S. is prominent among them.
The damage may be permanent. On March 28 an influential cross-party committee of MPs in Britain weighed in on the wider impact of that policy. "The perception that the British Government was a subservient 'poodle' to the U.S. Administration leading up to the period of the invasion of Iraq and its aftermath is widespread both among the British public and overseas," states a report from the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee. "This perception, whatever its relation to reality, is deeply damaging to the reputation and interests of the U.K."

I really hate this quote -and others like this one. I emphasizes the truth that all too often, the deadly importance of perception trumps principles and that in all walks of life.
As Christians we are called to always stand for the 'principles', represented for us as the gospel of Jesus, the absolutes of truth and the complete authority of Scriptures in our lives and, as should be, our total outer expression of that truth, authority and life to the world around us.March 30, 8:57 am | [comment link]

ARM Launches Cortex-M7 Chip Design for IoT, Wearables
Freescale and ST Microelectronics are licensing ARM's design, which offers more performance and efficiency than previous models.ARM is taking another step into the increasingly competitive Internet of things market, introducing its latest Cortex-M processor that officials say offers twice the compute and digital signal processing capabilities of its predecessor. ARM's new 32-bit Cortex-M7 "Pelican" chip design is aimed at high-end embedded systems that can span from network edge routers and industrial systems to connected cars and other Internet of things (IoT) devices, according to company officials. The Cortex-M7 will enable more compute power, intelligence and features in such systems. In a conference call with journalists before the Cortex-M7's announcement Sept. 23, Nandan Nayampally, vice president of marketing for ARM's CPU group, noted the growing demand for more intelligence, connectivity and automation in everything from storage systems to health care devices. The Cortex-M7, with its improved performance, power efficiency and digital signal control, will enable chip makers to add more motors, displays and connectivity options, as well as improved voice control, to their processors for connected systems, or more granular control and better GPS accuracy to products used in drones, Nayampally said. Such systems will "be able to marry a small footprint with [more] compute and longer battery life," he said.
A number of chip makers—including Freescale, ST Microelectronics and Atmel—have already licensed the Cortex-M7 design. ARM officials are hoping the new design will continue the success that previous Core-M chips have found. Since 2005, 8 billion Cortex-M units have shipped, more than 240 license agreements have been signed and there are more than 3,000 catalog parts leveraging Cortex-M. For Cortex-M4, more than 2.9 billion embedded processors shipped in 2013, and 1.7 billion already in 2014, Nayampally said. About 175 companies have licensed Cortex-M4 processors.

Exactly Kitty, that is exactly what it is.....the rock enables the soil to be
well drained, yet at the same time, retain some moisture daily from the dew.
The soil does stay much cooler under mulch of any kind than it does without.
Malcom Beck and Howard Garrett did a study on this some years ago. Forgot
the exact statistics, but the difference in temp from the mulched soil to the
non-mulched was amazing. The moisture retention was much greater as well.

We have been staying here a week now after only planning to stop one night. This place is amazing value for money, you're room is cleaned every day which does not always happen in the cheaper accommodation in Thailand and the family that run it are so sweet they really look after you. 10 out of 10!

Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere to the area and surroundings. The pool was closed at or even slightly before 8pm each night. Would be great if they could keep it open until 9 or 10pm as I work until 8pm most week nights.

After your cruise ship docks in Rio de Janeiro, you're picked up for the ride to Leblon, one of Rio's most affluent neighborhoods, where the 2-hour Plataforma Show takes place.
Settle into a prime seat in the theater and take part in an entertaining spectacle of rhythmic live music and dance. Watch as dozens of talented dancers and drummers perform samba, folk dances and popular songs that express Brazil's cultural influences — including Portuguese, African and indigenous origins.
Enjoy a light show alongside drummers and performers demonstrating the eye-catching spins of capoeira, a Brazilian movement that combines martial art with dance. Then get caught up in Rio's world-famous celebration as the show culminates in a Carnival parade of outrageous costumes on stage.
The Plataforma Show finishes at midnight, after which you'll be returned to your cruise port (or you can stay out on your own to continue your night, making your own way back when you wish).
Please note: this shore excursion is a night tour and is designed for ships which depart at midnight or the following day
Optional Upgrade: Buffet Dinner

!!! To make things clear: we do not talk about setting up an entire store. The store already exist and is highly customized.
No design needed. It's purely programming.
If you are a php programmer who is used to work with loaded OsCommerce versions, the job will take no longer than 2 to 3 days.
If you want to see it check it out at [url removed, login to view]!!!
The work need to be done in 5 days. On that day the Beta Version is required to work. For the final version the deadline will be increased by another 3 days.
Purpose of the e-shop:
To sell books: Mainly as downloadable ebooks, but also printed.
The customization need to be done only for the language English. However, the text fields must be added to all language files / fields of the other 3 languages too, but only in English!
To include analogue to the existing attribute "weight?? the product specific other 8 product attributes (The osCommerce attribute manager is not suitable) and to modify the existing osCommerce Product description manager.
To include these new attributes into the oscommerce advance search (we do have the module to modify it, it just need to be implemented).
To customize the software for our 3 affiliate groups: Authors, Partner at Sales, Partner at Purchase. The starting point is the module "affiliates??. The module is included 3 times and needs to be modified as following described. This is the most complex part.
To customize the customer module. Setting up 6 different customer (payment) groups.
A more detailed description you can find below. The manual is quite detailed. That does not mean that it is that much of programming too. We just wanted it to be good explained to make the task as precise as possible.

Massotherapy Victoria
Victoria Signature Facial - 60 min/$60.00:
(Including Diamond Dermabrasion skin refinish, Ultrasonic scrub, Microcurrent Bio facelift, wow!)
Your esthetician will begin your facial by removing any makeup. Once your skin is bare, she will massage cleansing milk (or cream, gel or lotion) into
the skin of your face, neck and décolleté. Using facial sponges, cloths or cotton pads, she will remove the cleanser with warm water and pat your skin dry.
Cleanse usually includes (Violet Ray) Darsonval Treatment.
Your eyes will be covered with moistened pads for the next step. Using a lighted magnifying glass, she will evaluate your skin. She may lightly pinch
your skin to check for elasticity or press on it to check thickness. During this phase, your esthetician may discuss her findings with you and ask you
about your skin care regimen and your expectations for the facial.
Now that your esthetician understands your skin care needs, she will choose an exfoliation cream, gel, mask, gommage or peel to use.
Certain exfoliation products, such as enzyme peels, require the product to be left on your face to dissolve the plugs that cause blackheads.
Other products require either manual or machine stimulation.
Depending upon the exfoliation product used, steam will either be applied to your face during that phase or after the product has been removed.
The moist heat loosens plugs and encourages skin to sweat out any impurities that may be caught in
During the extraction phase, your esthetician will remove blackheads and, possibly, whiteheads. Usually, she will use a lighted magnifying glass to
examine your skin. Your esthetician may use a blackhead extractor, a stainless steel instrument that allows blackheads to be gently expressed.
Some estheticians choose to wrap their fingers with cotton to protect your skin while manually expressing the plugs. A
A few new revolutionary procedures will be used: Diamond Dermabrasion skin refinish, Ultrasonic scrub, Microcurrent Bio facelift.
Facial massage stimulates and lubricates skin. Your esthetician may use a massage oil or lotion during this process.
Depending upon her training and the treatment, she may massage your neck, shoulders, décolleté and/or scalp as well.
You may notice that your sinuses feel clearer and that you feel deeply relaxed after the massage.
Depending upon your skin's needs, your esthetician will choose a mask for you. If your skin is oily, she may choose a clay-based mask to draw off
the excessive sebum. If your skin is dehydrated, she'll choose one that replenishes moisture.
Masks are highly specific and are formulated to treat specific skin care needs.

Jim Cramer is bullish on Randgold Resources, Principal Financial Group and Constellation Brands.
Don't be fooled by knee-jerk reactions, says Jim Cramer. Look past the headlines and do your own research.
President Donald Trump's proposed 20% tariff on Mexican imports would raise the per-bottle price of Mexican beer significantly if implemented.
The last thing Chipotle wants to see is this tax.
The Trump administration is making headlines on its proposed 20% Mexico border tax, but the details are still unclear.
With a weak consolidation pattern, STZ is ready to fall from the sky.
President Donald Trump has a new plan to pay for his wall to Mexico: a 20% tax on all imports from the country.
The alcohol company gets a majority of its revenues and profits from imported Corona and Modelo beers.
Trump argued during his campaign that Nafta was a 'disaster.'
The president's call to rework or scrap the trade deal with Canada and Mexico, in place since 1994, has far-reaching implications--from candy companies to railways.
Investors seeking less volatility can reap better returns in 2017 by allocating funds in sectors such as technology, biotech, energy and financials, which should generate above average performance.
Crosscurrents are disruptive, and today's selloff demonstrates why investors need conviction -- and a strong stomach, says Jim Cramer.
You can live by the tweet or die by the tweet.
Cramer questions how Constellation Brands could make Mexican beer in the U.S.
Goldman is neutral on the beverage sector, but sees Dr Pepper Snapple going higher as Coca-Cola continues to struggle in 2017
Is it time to crown a new king of beers? Jim Cramer says it's time to take a fresh look at the beer sector.
Jim Cramer says he's focusing on health-care companies that will break news that moves stocks.
The spirits company, whose stock has grappled with fears of tariffs on its Mexican beers, announces a minority stake in Virginia's Catoctin Creek, following an investment in Bardstown in October.
Jim Cramer interviews CEOs from Constellation and Halozyme about their businesses and their stocks' wild ride.
Jim Cramer says this rally relies on a speedy end to regulation, fast repatriation of foreign money and corporate tax reform.
Slowing beer sales and fear of tariffs on Mexican imports sent Constellation shares down 7% despite earnings in line with or exceeding expectations.
The Trump rally rests on three legs: Fast cuts to regulations, repatriating foreign profits and corporate tax reform.
A look at the latest quarterly results from Constellation Brands.
U.S. stocks were mixed on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreating from the closely watched 20,000 level.
U.S. stock futures turn mixed after minutes from the Fed's meeting in December showed that the central bank was considering a faster pace of interest rate increases.
On Thursday investors are keeping a close eye on labor market data.
Donald Trump is threatening tariffs on some products made in Mexico. Should that be making Constellation Brands nervous?
Constellation Brands reports earnings early Thursday.

Jace walked into the school,he felt numb like he was unable to move his body. Yet he was moving,he had yet to tell Ryan what happened...I bet your pretty curious to well lets start at the beginning...
-exactly 4 weeks,2 days,18 hrs,30 min and 14 seconds ago-
Jace walked into the the school,someone slammed him into a locker and he winced feeling a sudden pain fly down his back. Ryan,that was the only explanation;he slowly looked over to see the guy that hated him most. For what reason? He had no idea why just one day he started to get beat up by him and his idiotic friends. \"What do you want Ryan?\" They sat in a empty hallway,his friends weren't there which was weird he thought. \"Oh the fag speaks?\" \"Yes,this fag does fucking speak! Now what do you want?!\" \"Well...\"he punched me in the stomach,\"first don't talk to me like that and second-\" \"Ryan,\"Jace had a worried expression cross over his face as he felt like like he was gonna puke,\"I'm gonna puke.\" \"Yeah right yo-\" he puked all over Ryan,\"you fag!\" \"R-ryan I'm s-sorry...\"he started to cry from the burn in his stomach,he fell to the ground wrapping his arms around his legs. Ryan looked at him with sympathy,\"fuck.\" Jace was picked up off the floor after Ryan tugged off his own shirt and carried him out of the school; Ryan sat him gently in the back seat and walked over to the drivers side. \"Where are you taking me?\" \"My house.\" \"Why? So you can beat me more?\" Jace said weakly,\"if so then let me out...\" \"No. I'm not just gonna let some wounded person out in the middle of camel shit no where.\" \"It didn't seem to faze you beating me up all those other times...\" \"Well that was different I-\" \"Changed? If I had five bucks every time I heard that...\" \"Well yeah I've changed...\" \"Huh I don't believe you,\" he stooped in the middle of the road thankfully there wasn't any cars. Wow,Ryan lived in the middle of no where;the middle of the forest. \"Why don't ya believe me?\" \"Because your a jerk now can you please just keep driving...\" Don't you want me to take you home?\" \"No,my...uh...dad...he isn't the greatest;will you let me stay with you? Just for tonight I won't tell anyone I promise....\" \"Yeah sure,my parents won't be home I guess it's okay...\" We got the huge mansion I've heard so many people at school talked about,he had party's all the time. I've never been to one of course,when your a loner nobody really wants to be seen with you in public. Not even my dad wants to be in public with me; I sat in the car for a little while after we got there until Ryan pounded on the window and told me to get my asa out of the car. He looked angry with me and I had no idea why;\"what did I do?\" I said as I stepped out of the car and he pushed me towards the house. \"Just shut up!\" He shoved me inside,\"how did someone find out that your here with me?! Someone just texted me asking me why I was with the fag!\" He slapped me as hard as he could. \"I didn't tell anyone Ryan...\" I looked at him biting my bottom lip, \"How did someone find out then Jace?!\" \"I don't know! I don't need your crap okay! I get enough beatings from my dad I don't need you to add to it!\" \"What if you deserve it you homo?!\" He punched my gut and my bottom lip started to quiver,his face softened and he took a small step towards me. \"Jace,I-\" \"No...please leave me be....\" I wrapped my arms around my legs as I burried my head in between my knees. I heard him walk off then come back with what sounded like a box in his hand. He gently unwrapped my arms from around myself and took off my shirt,he assessed the damage done from my dad and him. \"Here...\"he set a ice pack on my tummy and carried me to what I think is his bedroom. \"I'm having a party tonight so I want you to stay up here the whole time I don't want them-\" \"To know I'm here...ya I know...\"I laid on his bed and faced the wall thinking about how loud it'd be,I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke up to DJ Got Us Fallin In Love Tonight,I looked at the clock and it was 10:30. \"Ryan...\"I grumbled before getting up and locking the door,I walked into his bathroom and took a shower and did my stuff. I walked butt naked over to his dresser and pulled out a shirt (it was black and was three sizes to big) and a pair of the smallest briefs he had which to me they were like boxers. I like a man in briefs I smiled to myself and laid back down. I heard a knock at the door a little while after,I got up and opened it. Oh shit it was Ryan...a very intoxicated Ryan.

There is a dying branch
Outside my window.
Humming along with one headphone in,
There came a prickling in my legs-
That were injured a week past.
Swelling, increasing-
The pain grew mad,
I can't breathe
The silver glass of the cold window,
Closed so tight,
Started spinning.
I began to cry desperately as my shaking, unsteady palms dragged along the glass-
Leaving broken handprints.
The world's started dancing.
Or is that just me?
Everything's going black-
What was that thump?
What's going on?

This one came through fine for me. I had this iris but it was eaten by
squirrels or some other critter. I lost half a dozen again last night--two
were new this year. All were in cages so doubt it was gophers. Bummer. This

Booking: 2 days. When I arrived I was scared and I wanted to leave because I was the only costumer and the man of the staff said me to avoid to lose my money, I had to leave my wallet and passaport to him.The room wasn't enough safe and I changed it. After few time I realized that the man of the staff (Martin) was a very nice and kind person and he gave me everything back. The location is amazing in pure old African style and you're at really contact with nature. The experience was positive!

It is located by the beach, but not the best beach if you like to swim in clear blue waters. The scenery is beautiful though. It's difficult to get there. The staff is super friendly and are always eager to help you, assure you get a nice time and keep you safe. Everything is very calm and relaxed. WiFi is very limited. The accommodation is very simple and our room didn't even had walls, which made it an interesting experience. One can wake up with sound of the waves and the birds.

The Beach is an excellent place for a serene, but simple stay 60 minutes away from Mombasa. There are excellent views, great food, and the staff there almost feels like family. It's a good relaxing stay if you like camping style living - but I wouldn't recommend it for those wanting to get in / out of Mombasa as it's challenging to make frequent trips. The bathrooms are very basic without hot water. No electricity in the rooms or wifi, but the staff was very helpful with charging phone

Set aside, for one moment, Highmark's ongoing contract dispute with UPMC and assume the health insurer's plan to acquire the West Penn Allegheny Health System gets all the regulatory approvals.
What happens then?
Drowned out by all the heated charges and countercharges is the fact that Highmark is breaking new ground -- none of the other 38 Blue Cross Blue Shield independent licensed companies across the U.S. has ever purchased a health system before, and experts are hard-pressed to remember a major U.S. insurer buying an entire health system anywhere.
"They are merging two different cultures -- one whose sole purpose is to minimize costs and one whose sole purpose is to provide more medical services," said James McTiernan, principal and co-founder of the Downtown employee benefits firm Triad USA.
"Obviously, if you're a health care provider you make your margin by providing services, and if you're an insurer you're making your margin by making the cost and the amount of service as low as you can. And therein lies the conflict."
But local health care consultant Jan Jennings, who knows and has spoken to many of the top Highmark officers, said he is optimistic that Highmark can make this work, primarily because of the people they have at the top.
"They have put at the tip of the spear for hospital operations Mr. John Paul, who is the former chief financial officer for UPMC," Mr. Jennings said. "I can tell you that operationally, financially and strategically he is an absolute genius."
He is also heartened that Highmark's president and CEO, Kenneth Melani, is a physician who did a residency at West Penn Hospital. "He has repeatedly drilled into the senior management of Highmark that, 'Look, we're going into a new business. This [Mr. Paul] is a guy you're going to have to listen to.'
"John Paul is going to be calling the shots. And he's probably the best-qualified single person Ken Melani could have reached out to to do this thing."
Highmark is not making Mr. Paul, who left UPMC in 2003, available for public comment as it is still in the early stages of putting together its provider strategy, spokesman Michael Weinstein said.
The insurer is expected to file its agreement to acquire the WPAHS with the Pennsylvania Insurance Department this week. The deal also will be reviewed by the state attorney general's office and the federal Internal Revenue Service.
Until Highmark reveals its overall plans, health care experts are left to speculate what they will do and what their chances of success are.
There are other models that combine provider and insurance services, including UPMC and its health plan and also Geisinger Health System in Central Pennsylvania.
But none of those mirrors what Highmark is doing, deciding a year ago that it had to intervene, as Dr. Melani said, "to ensure the continued vitality of the West Penn Allegheny Health System and maintaining provider choice in our community."
Without Highmark's $50 million grant to WPAHS last June, the health system would have posted a nearly $30 million loss in fiscal 2011. Looking at operations alone, WPAHS spent $51.8 million more caring for patients than it brought in from patient revenue.
The question is, will West Penn Allegheny's losses drag Highmark down, or will Highmark's statewide network -- in addition to its indemnity coverage, Highmark also offers health insurance coverage in 49 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties through a preferred provider organization -- make it a force to be reckoned with.
"Taking this on, you have the ability to manage the risk and manage a population's risk from the insurance side and then begin to coordinate the care through the health system arm," said Rick Gundling, a vice president with the Washington, D.C.-based Healthcare Financial Management Association, whose members include chief financial officers at both hospitals and insurers.
But others remain skeptical.
"This is a whole new line of business for them," said Robert J. Conroy, a health care attorney based in New Jersey who also works in Pennsylvania. "It's one thing to be successful as an insurer, and it's another to be successful at running a hospital.
"The question is, how long are they willing to stay the course while they figure out what it is to make this a more profitable model," he said. "I don't think they can pull it off, especially a company like Highmark, because it's very large and very bureaucratic and it's not entrepreneurial."
Mr. Conroy also thinks the timing is bad, given the uncertainties surrounding the still-evolving national health care reform. "Five years from now, no one can say with any certainty anything about what the health care market will look like. The only thing we can say is that it will be completely different."
But others see an opportunity for Highmark, that by combining the insurance and provider arms they are building a network along the lines of the accountable care organizations that would manage all of a patient's medical needs, as the health reform law calls for.
"I think you're going to see more of those type of relationships, with more carriers owning hospitals," said health benefits expert Tom Tomczyk of Buck Consultants, Downtown.
"I hope they can find the balance between providing the appropriate care at the appropriate price and being able to make the appropriate amount of revenue that they continue to stay in business."
And if that happens?
"Two years from now, when you get past the emotional issues [with the UPMC contract dispute], people are going to be forgetting about that," Mr. Tomczyk said, "and I think you may see more competition and maybe a higher quality of care in this community."

1 x 1.6kg leg of kid
1 clove garlic, sliced
Juice of 2 lemons
1 lemon sliced
4 tablespoons dried oregano
Sea salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
2 potatoes
Lemon juice
Extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
Rosemary garlic cloves
Sea salt
Heat the kettle barbeque.
Place the kid in a dish. Cut little slots all over the kid and push a slice of garlic into each slot. Sprinkle with oregano and salt and pour over the lemon juice and olive oil and massage into the meat.
Place the kid onto the rack in the pre-heated kettle barbeque. Listen through the vent holes of the barbeque to hear the sizzle. You then take the cooking time from that point (about 15 minutes). Remove the lid 40 minutes into the cooking and turn the kid over. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes.
Let the kid rest for a good 20 minutes before eating.
BBQ Potatoes
Par cook waxy potatoes. Cut into wedges and toss with lemon juice, evoo, rosemary, garlic cloves and lots of salt and add to a small baking tray. Place in the kettle barbeque when you turn the kid.

There are so many political person in Washington D.C. They runing around for their own famous and benefit. Not too many of them have vision. Mr. Wilson had vision at those trouble land. The world is getting smaller and smaller. That time was in 70th. American help Afg people in that time. So CIA put fundation into that area. 30 years later. We can see the effective. Right after 911 our intergent can go to work. Without Mr. Wilson's early seeding. Out soldiers will have much more danger in that trouble area. The old generation remember how American help them while they were under the USSR invisions.
Great movie

Relax, reflect and savor the sample of stories here for you. Your story could soon be one of them.
Preserve the Past
Everyone's story is a piece in the mosaic of human history. By saving and sharing our personal life stories, we discover wisdom, link generations and leave a legacy upon which others can build.
Nurture the Present
Courageous storytelling touches the lives of both the listener and the teller. It helps us bridge divides, increase awareness and heal so we can move forward. Silence doesn't change lives; our stories do.
Transform the Future
Stories inspire us and encourage us to walk the talk with integrity. By changing the stories we tell ourselves, we consciously change the course of the future.
