Hello once again Newgrounders, and welcome to Bomboozle 2, where your job is to clear the island of as many of the pesky blob invaders as possible! There are now two ways of clearing blobs - the first is to simply click a group of 3 or more of the same colour, then click again. The second is to hold the left mouse button to draw a line over a chain of blobs, then let go to destroy them - both methods have their uses! Try toggling one-click mode with the space bar for rapid blob annihilation!
If you're able to clear a group of 5 or more then you'll be rewarded with a rather handy bomb which can clear a load of blobs in one go - just click a bomb twice to detonate it. If you're smart then you can chain multiple bomb explosions together to rack up stacks of points! A word of warning though - try to avoid clearing groups of 3 as a skull will be dropped in to the board which can only be removed with a bomb!
As you progress you'll come across new blobs which will make your life even more difficult than it already is. Fortunately though you have all new special abilities which are represented by the pots at the bottom of the screen. As you clear blobs these pots fill up, and once full you can use them to help you with a variety of things, such as destroying skulls and removing troublesome blobs at the bottom of the board.
There are many different ways to play Bomboozle 2, so develop your own strategy and go for the top score! There's a handy little surprise waiting for you if you an unlock all of the medals...best of luck, and happy Bomboozling!
PS. Thanks to NG users "steffen144", "noxus21" not to mention "fewmenleft" via Twitter, version 0.4.9 now has a few bug fixes and improvements. For example, collecting the treasure on your last move in 100 Moves mode will actually end the game properly now, multiple bombs can no longer be selected (massive bug I somehow missed!), but to make up for this the green potion will now kill the masked skulls outright.
PPS. Just uploaded version 0.5.0. Thanks to further input from "fewmenleft", I've now adjusted the "Destroy the bottom 3 rows" powerup so that it destroys all blobs outright - previously, megaskulls would just lose their mask and frozen blobs would only thaw out.
PPS. Thanks to Tom for the front page action! Just fixed another bug too - didn't realise that the last three pots weren't filling properly, so that's now fixed; ie. skulls should fill the white pot, wildcards should fill the rainbow pot, and bombs should fill the black pot. Don't know how we missed that, but there you go.
PPPS! Fixed an issue with the treasure not always reappearing, which is of course pretty important for getting that last medal. :)
PPPPS. ;) A few people (particularly WtfNinja and Morgomir) mentioned that they didn't think the game should end if you still had pots filled which could get you out of trouble, so I've now updated the game to allow for this. It did require a fair bit of code rewriting though, so let me know if any bugs pop up! The latest version is v0.5.6 - thanks for everyone's feedback and comments. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great game
This game is great i think i know why this is so addicting you get really far in the game and u think its over then u just u use one of those potion at the bottom and boom your hooked again i just dont know what those potions are called but anyway great game
We're not sure what to call them either! Any suggestions would be greatfully received. ;) Thanks for playing!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Wow very nice game !
I loved ! Very original game, great pictures and music !
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like this game
But purple beard man questions me and trembles with fear!!
Great game, a great change of pace from frustrating "high difficulty" games that use 'challenging' as as excuse for imbalance and poor gameplay
Don't worry - purple beard man is actually your friend! If he does scare you that much you can actually turn him off in the options menu, but that would make him sad. :-(
We spent a long time getting the balance right (even making a "Bomboozle 1.5" during the process), so I'm glad that the time we put in paid off. :) Thanks for playing and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very addicting
I have no clue what it is that makes this game so addicting, maybe its the bombs and the vials of colors that get you out of tough situations so you can survive longer in the game along with the level difficulty.
Its the third day in a row I've been playing this game -.- I don't think it'll ever get old to me.
Thanks, that's really good to hear! I often find myself getting hooked even when I'm testing the game, and I've been playing Bomboozle 1 and 2 for months now. :)

Easing growing pains with a CRM-VoIP cocktail
Challenged by a spate of mergers, an agricultural lender converged voice and data to leverage its CRM solution and differentiate itself from the competition.
When several mergers left a large agricultural lender with countless silos of data and applications and a mishmash...

of communications, an IT executive converged voice and data to leverage the full value of a CRM solution, drive up revenue and earn a 100% return on investment.
Greenstone Farm Credit Services is a $3 billion agricultural lender based in East Lansing, Mich. From 1999 to 2003, mergers with four other organizations strengthened Greenstone's market position but also saddled it with a disparate collection of legacy systems at its 37 branches in Michigan and Wisconsin.
"We had information siloed in different branch locations," Greenstone's Director of Information Services, Dominic Roberts, told CIOs during his presentation at last week's CIO Decisions Conference 2006 in Carlsbad, Calif. "It would take five or six systems for a FSO [financial services officer] to get a complete picture of a customer."
Roberts said growth challenged his employees' abilities to offer more timely, comprehensive and personalized service.
"Customer-facing companies need to know their customers," Roberts said. "Everything is about making sure you're getting the sales."
Greenstone wanted its employees to have an in-depth knowledge of each customer, not only whether customers have mortgages or tractor loans with Greenstone, but also where they buy their life insurance and who does their taxes.
To meet this challenge, Roberts became an early adopter of the customer relationship management technology Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The technology integrated the different applications and databases Greenstone employees used for customer management.
But freeing information from silos with CRM was just the first step for Roberts. Despite Greenstone's growth, he wanted to preserve the personal, individual relationships the company's employees had with their customers. With Greenstone so much larger, losing that sense of personalized service was a real danger.
Roberts said he didn't want to implement a solution that created a customer experience similar to dialing into a credit card company. He said there is nothing more frustrating than being told by a recording to punch in your credit card account number, only to be asked several minutes later by a customer service representative to recite the account number a second time.
He found a solution to this problem while addressing another of Greenstone's growing pains -- its patchwork of telecommunications systems.
"We had 37 different telecom systems and we had some branches that didn't even have voice mail," Roberts said.
Greenstone decided to converge its voice and data at all 37 branches with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). But Roberts needed a VoIP platform that could integrate with his Microsoft CRM technology.
Roberts purchased Cisco Business Communications System, a VoIP platform designed to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The integrated technology can identify incoming phone calls from customers, instantly recalling data from Greenstone's CRM system. When a call comes in, the Greenstone employee receives a pop-up window on his desktop with a complete picture of the customer's relationship with the company.
"By the time they say 'Thank you for calling Greenstone,' we want them to have a 360-degree view of the customer," Roberts said. "We equate success with managing the customer experience. We want to provide the best response at the right time."
Roberts said the integrated voice and data also encouraged employee adoption of the new technology. It was impossible not to see the value of a pop-up window that told you everything about a customer before they said hello.
Roberts said Greenstone earned a 100% return on investment on its VoIP platform within eight months. The company also saw its average revenue per customer grow by 5% to 10%.
"We didn't want to lose that small-town feel," Roberts said. He said the solution he chose gave his company the competitive differentiation it needed. It allowed Greenstone to know its customers better than the competition.

FRITZ!Box 3390 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Setting up wireless guest access (private hotspot) in the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box's wireless guest access offers your guests a private hotspot and allows them to enjoy secure Internet access. In this case, the FRITZ!Box provides an additional wireless network (WiFi) with separate security settings so that you do not need to disclose the network key for your private wireless network.
The wireless devices used by your guests (for example notebooks, smartphones) are completely isolated from your home network. They cannot access your devices or the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Requirements / Restrictions
- The FRITZ!Box must establish its own connection to the Internet. If the FRITZ!Box shares the Internet connection of another FRITZ!Box ("IP client mode"), proceed as described in this guide.
- Devices in the guest network must be configured to automatically obtain IP settings (DHCP).
- IPTV playback and other FRITZ!Box functions (such as port sharing, telephony) are not available when using guest access.
Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
1 Enabling the wireless network
The following step is only necessary if the "WLAN" LED on the FRITZ!Box is not lit:
- Briefly push the "WLAN" button to enable the FRITZ!Box's wireless network,
- or, if you enabled keylock in the FRITZ!Box,
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Radio Network" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Enable the wireless network.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
- or, if you enabled keylock in the FRITZ!Box,
2 Setting up guest access in the FRITZ!Box
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Guest Access" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Enable the guest access.
- For the "Name of the guest radio network (SSID)", enter the name that guests should see when they search for wireless networks.
- Select the encryption method from the drop-down list "Encryption". WPA2 encryption offers the best security.
- Enter a password of your choice that is between 8 and 63 characters long in the "Network key" field.
Important:To ensure optimal security, the password should be at least 20 characters long and contain capital and lower-case letters (but not letters such as ä, ë, ö, ü, é, í), digits, and other characters.
- Disable the option "Restrict Internet applications: Only surfing and mail allowed" if you would like to allow guests to use other forms of Internet access.
- If you want, enable the option "Permit login with guest access only after consent to terms of use".
- Enable the option "The wireless devices connected with the guest access can communicate with each other" if wireless devices should be allowed to exchange data with each other.
- If you want guest access to be disabled automatically, enable the corresponding option and define when it should be disabled.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Now guests who know the name of the guest wireless network (SSID) and the network key can use your private hotspot.
Note:You can use the Push Service (under "System > Push Service" in the user interface) if you would like to receive daily e-mails that tell you which wireless devices used your private hotspot.
3 Regulating Internet use for the guest access
As a rule, devices using guest access are always assigned to the access profile "Guest" in the FRITZ!Box parental controls. You can manually adjust the "guest" access profile, for example if you would like to limit Internet access over the guest access to certain times:
Note:In this guide you will find detailed information on configuring the access profile.
- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Filters" in the "Internet" menu.
- Click on the "Access Profiles" tab and then the (edit) button for the "Guest" profile.
- Enable the option "restricted" in the "Time Limit" section, and then hold down the left mouse button while you drag the mouse across the areas of the timetable when Internet use should be blocked.
Fig.: Internet use blocked during class hours and in the evening
- Click "OK" to save the access profile.

I know that there are many of you out there who are just like me. The tender pull of the dough as you bite into soft white pillow which you struggle to hold between two sticks. Then, when you have managed to take your bite a pillow full of steamy juice runs down your chin. This is the part where if you are like me no further explanation is required ;) . I am of course talking about chinese soup buns. I had never imagined that they would be so easy to aquire in Sydney. I am always being made jealous of all the dim sum that Kirk and his wife enjoy in San diego, but then so easily I spied these cute little mini pork and prawn buns at the Thai Kee Iga at Hay market. I figured that they couldn't be what I thought they were and even so they would surely not be any good. I have never been so glad to be wrong in all my life. We served them simply steamed, with some steamed chinese brocolli and Kim chi, which I of course know it isn't chinese but it is yummy and it was fresh too. I made up quite a nice dipping sauce for the dumplings, soy, fresh ginger, alittle kecap manis and mirin. Yum!

Mmm. I haven't made this since before I moved. I made a tone as I was packing, trying to use up stuff in the fridge. And it just so happens that I have pork and baby shrimp and wrappers in the fridge. If it weren't nearly 1 AM, I'd go do it now.
Thanks for the reminder, Clare.

Hi Clare,
just popped in to see how you've been doing. My exams have been really tough :( But anyway those Xiao Long Baos look really nice. Err but I believe thats chinese brocolli they've been served with however,boy does that kim chi look good !
Posted by rachel - 11/30/2005 10:24:00 PM
ooh, you're lucky. no soup buns near me, fresh or frozen. glad to see you posting again. hope you (esp your arm) feel a lot better.
Posted by stefoodie - 12/01/2005 01:50:00 AM
Hi Clare - Juicy Buns and Kimchee, what a provocative title! LOL! Those XLB look delici-yoso....what a nice combo.
Posted by Kirk - 12/01/2005 04:37:00 AM
Clare that sounds and looks so good. I love asian food, especially any kind of bun! And I love kimchi, especially if you can get some that is made locally. My mom used to make huge (and I mean HUGE!) bowls of kimchi when we were growing up. Yummy!
Posted by Dawn - 12/01/2005 04:55:00 AM
There are no words to describe how jealous I am of you and your buns.
Posted by farmgirl - 12/01/2005 12:22:00 PM
We love xiao long bao! I normally make a small bite then suck the juice out before wolfing the rest down.
LOL - we saw a sign in one of the restaurants in London's Chinatown advertising 'juicy buns fever' on Tuesday nights! Maybe we should organise one of those nights here!
Posted by Cin - 12/01/2005 12:43:00 PM
Nice buns! (I couldn't resist. It is American slang so I don't know if the joke translates, but I think it does.) Seriously, they do look delicious.
Posted by Kalyn - 12/01/2005 02:22:00 PM
Well Kayyn beat me to the punch line, but yes those are nice buns. *wink* *giggle* I am so jealous, and now when I feel a little better must go out in search of them! The kimchi looks good too, it is funny though in Korean class today we learned the long negative for the polite form, and the dialog covered not liking kimchi! *sigh* PHHBBT! Your photo has me drooling. :9~~~
Posted by milgwimper - 12/01/2005 04:11:00 PM
Hmm Xiao Long Baos - I haven't had them for so long. Must see if the Asian supermarkets have them in stock.
Hope your arm is all healed!
Posted by Jean - 12/01/2005 11:25:00 PM
Mmmmmm....those look delicious and so happy you found some good ones! That kim chee looks awesome, too. I still haven't found a good recipe and my 100% Korean mother-in-law has yet to give me her method. I live in hope, though.
Posted by amy - 12/02/2005 01:29:00 PM
oo those look and sound very yummy, hope i can try them someday :)
Posted by Catesa - 12/03/2005 10:17:00 PM

Shade Tail
Previous "identity" moment with Greg and Grace
When Elliot met Dex
Why yes, this IS a Friday comic!
What the hell is that thing?!
Find out Monday! FRIDAY COMIC! WHEE!
Okay, that'll be much less of a sting after the next update when anyone reading this just has to push the "next comic" button, but I'm wallowing in sadistic writer's glee for as long as I can. You simply cannot waste an opportunity to wallow.
I spent some time trying to think up a fitting "hero" name for Grace, and "Tri-Squirrel" really was one of the options, but then I remembered that Grace has had a second name pretty much since the time of her first appearance. Greg wouldn't know of "Shade Tail", however, so Tri-Squirrel got a chance to shine after all.
Incidentally, Greg speaks the truth in regard to there being a
"Squirrel Girl"
Not Superheroes!
A reader recently expressed concern about EGS turning completely into a super hero comic, and while that's not my intent, I'm sure this particular comic page isn't going to convince anyone of that. Nonetheless, I don't think anyone should worry until spandex-clad super villains start holding up banks and shouting "curses" as they're foiled.
Actually, that sounds pretty awesome. First villain? Captain Badgerpants. His debut and subsequent presence in the comic will be violently brief but memorable.
The pose of the fire thing in panel one is based off of the old
Big Foot
footage. I was picturing what it would look like walking towards Dex and looking back at Grace, and what I imagined reminded me of that Big Foot footage, so I just went for it.
FYI, for those who haven't heard, that footage of Big Foot has totally been debunked. It was actually of his lesser-known cousin, Medium Foot.
I made an honest effort to keep it from looking like the monsters were grabbing or pressing anywhere they shouldn't be, and while I think I succeeded to some degree, I'm sure people will see what they want to see. Part of the issue is that when grabbing someone from behind and trying to get an actual hold of them, it's kind of hard to avoid the chest region.
Not that I have experience with such behavior, mind you. I use nets fired from pressurized air cannons.
So long as I'm mentioning the grabbing I should note that one should most definitely NOT imitate these holds. The hold Grace is in is known as a
full nelson
, which can be very dangerous. Grabbing people by the arms is less dangerous, but they could still flip out and elbow you or something. And don't get me started on the dangers of grabbing around a woman's chest region.

A Children's Aid Society exists in every county or major city in Ontario, Canada. They are similar to a Department of Children and Families. The Society's primary function is to protect children. They are obligated to investigate allegations of abuse / neglect of children, and assess the level of risk the child(ren) in the home face.
The Children's Aid Society has authority under the Child and Family Services Act to remove children from homes where they face either a risk of harm, or have actually been harmed. Children removed from caregivers are sometimes placed with other family members or family friends. In other cases, children may be placed into foster or group homes, depending on the needs of the child.

I haven't had a full day in a regular Partytreff in a long time. I only visited Xanten once about 6 years ago and while the sex was basic, the overall experience with free beer, decent well stocked buffet, good facilites etc made it a very pleasant day out.
If I hadn't got so caught up with the NRW bareback and Berlin Swinging scenes I would have continued with these regular Partytreffs.
Anyone been to Xanten lately?

Spare time in Germany is sparse, and a wrong pick of a place will be a major mishap.
This tread have some disturbing reports about PT Xantner as a Place With fat 50 + women. I am not dependent of 20 year old skinny girls, and I actually prefer 25 and upwards with hips and curves. But if we are talking 40-50 and overweight, then its not my cup of tea.
Can anyone give their assessment regarding this issue?

For me, if you stay in dusseldorf, the better option is the Pauschalclub 69 (for me better of Xanten and Dorsten) in Mnchengladbach that is reachable easily from MG hauptbanhof (by bus, if I don't wrong SB4) or from Rheydt (also by foot) and you can use this websites for organize your trip (http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml , http://efa.vrr.de/vrrstd/XSLT_TRIP_R...nspCompany=vrr).
In Dorsten I slept in Hotel Humbert and I go by foot to the partytreff (http://www.hotel-humbert.de/), for the other you can use booking.com or similar website.

You can read my report about Dorsten one month after and see the difference.
The only thing better in Dorsten is the quality of the girls that are more beautiful but some weren't impossible to fuck and other gave me a bad service or nothing special.
At the end was a good day especially for Sexy Susi and 2-3 girls, but if I will return in Dorsten will be only in a day with a pornostar.
In the website I see 2 girls that worked in Pauschalclub 69 in Mnchengladbach and with me were both very good.

Posts: 140I went to Xanten in the first day of my trip in Germany, and I was very happy.
If you like slim teen is not the place for you, but if you like big tits and don't have a problem with some kilos more (the girl are not very fat, but only two are really slim) is a great place.
The age of the girls is between 25 and 30 years old, with some exception (2 older and 2 younger).
Is easy to have sex and I don't think that were more than 20 men at the same time during the day and in the evening the place is very quite.
Sex is public and often in a big bed with other couples but without interaction; they have also 3 bed for single couples but without door and if you need privacy is not the place for you.
3 time in the day the girl call a gang bang and start the action, but it's not a true gang bang because the girls are more than the man and the only difference it's that all the girl have sex at the same time and one of this gang bang happened in the main room on the sofas.
I arrived at the beginning (11) and leaved at the end of the day (24).
I had sex with all the girls for a total of 15 session (1 only massage) and I cum 8 time.
The girl was very nice and is possible to talk if you speak german, spanish or english (only few girls).
I made everything with condom, but the standard is BBBJ and with the girl with blue bracelet is possible FT (I think swallow, but at least CIM) ,I saw some girl in 69 position but I never asked to lick the pussy.
I had also anal sex with Elvira, the older (50+) but I have great sex with her.
I had good time with all the girls (10 or 11) , two threesome and if I must choose one I say Janette, because I had sex two time (without cum) and I spoke with her for a long time during the evening (in Spanish and German).
I went there in FKK day and the girl are naked for all day and I like that, because was very beautiful to have around naked woman especially with big tits.
For me this is a great place, good sex, good food, good atmosphere and the only problem it's that is little bit boring, because there is only a tv with porn and the same music for all day.

1) Not everybody likes partytreff. Not all people can perform when others are looking.
2) You get more "quality time" when visiting Salon Cora. In Xanten, once you have "performed", you go shower and the lady is gone, in Salon Cora you have the lady 30 minutes, an hour or for whatever time you have paid.
Also not all girls working in Duisburg work in Xanten as well, but some do.
With these 2 establishments it's in different locations, but many other clubs also have a shared concept where you either pay for a private visit or a pauschal / partytreff visit. For example the Pauschalclub chain also offers the option for single room visits vs. The 3 hour or day ticket option.

Posts: 110Some of the same girls work at Xanten. But Cora is not a partytreff. Sounds so funny to me. If you know you can milk the cow more at a partytreff why would someone go to Cora then? I know that is not a nice way to put it. But that seems funny. Strange. Guess they can get more customers in Duisburg.
07-26-13 17:28 #28
Posts: 67Salon Cora is owned by the same people as Partytreff Xanten and some girls work in both clubs, but Salon Cora isn't a partytreff, it's a "regular" brothel where you pay by the hour of you decide to go a room with a girl.

Posts: 110Has anyone been to Salon Cora in Duisburg? From my understanding it is the sister club of Xantener. At least according the Xantener website.

Will T-Mac Translate into Value for the Spurs?
By now I imagine most Spurs fans have heard that Tracy McGrady — yes, the Tracy McGrady — has been signed by the San Antonio Spurs for the rest of the season. A few questions:
- What can T-Mac do with just one regular season game and the playoffs?
- Does he have any value left and can he make an impact, essentially replacing Stephen Jackson on the roster?
- Does he have any juice left in those knees?
T-Mac is 33 years old and has played 15 seasons of NBA basketball. He did work out for San Antonio before the season started, but wound up in China. In China, he averaged 25 points while shooting 56% from the field for Qingdao of the CBA this season. Translation: T-Mac is in shape and can still play well (even if against lesser opponents.)
Can McGrady hope to fill Jackson's role on the Spurs? During the 2011-2012 NBA season, T-Mac averaged 5.3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 16.1 minutes over 52 games for Atlanta. This season, Cap'n Jack averaged 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19 minutes over 55 games for San Antonio. Translation: statistically speaking, McGrady and Jackson are essentially the same.
Editor's note: when you break down T-Mac and Cap'n Jack's production per 36 minutes, McGrady last year looks a bit better than Jackson this year.
McGrady (2011-2012): 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists
Jackson (2012-2013): 11.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists
What kind of impact will McGrady have on a team with a system he is unfamiliar with? T-Mac may have been playing in the minor leagues this season, but he was the featured scorer and star getting run for his team. Hopefully for the Spurs, this will translate into production from the former NBA All Star.
I imagine Coach Pop is gambling on the chance that McGrady can take advantage of one-on-one match-ups against other team's second and third units. If this translates to an average of more than 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, then the Spurs are better off statistically.
McGrady is a seasoned veteran who can contribute off the bench while searching for those last few opportunities at glory in the NBA.
Will all of this translate into a fifth championship for the San Antonio Spurs? Who knows, but it should be a fun subplot line to follow.
Go Spurs Go.

I don't enter into this easily, the tedium of small talk and constant navigation of toddler social skills. I sit at the park and wonder why they don't have a stand for bloody marys, why no other mothers feel the same way or at least say it out loud. But at the same time I see the joy in M's face, the over exuberance and kicking of legs. The running headlong into her friends and into their homes, new toy discoveries and new beds to jump on. We tackled two of these yesterday and when we finally came home I sat outside with J and noted the weight of this milestone; that until now she's basically done what we've wanted, willing or not. The things we did usually revolved around her but were solo ventures that hadn't yet expanded to others. But this weekend is markedly different, the cracking open the door of a new reality, one where her friends take precedence and it's a juggle of arriving at these mini-events and then home for a nap and then back out again. With new rules and toddlerisms navigated along the way.
We gathered with our newfound neighbors (it's slowly progressing, this community) for a BBQ last night and over beers and babies I talked of this briefly, and the eager looks of our neighbors who still worry of swaddling and nursing and perhaps long for this level of interaction, this show of independence prompted me to implore them to make sure they take it as slow as they can because you can't get back what you grow out of, no matter how bright things look as you move forward because space will take on the air you give it and we are ever expanding still.
So we surrender and commence, this beginning of a third social life with it's constructs and schedules, this way of marking her own presence in this world as she grows into what will be many coming and going of friends, not all ending gracefully but all with significance. She's learning to dance, my M. She's on her way.

a rite of passage to be certain. through all the small talk, i did manage to make some good friends but now it's changed and my era is one of drop-off play dates. beautiful because you're gifted a couple hours free of the small person schedule, or if you are hosting, you get a break in your own home because they don't want from you. sometimes i miss being needed like that, until i sit down here with a cup of tea and relax. (=

The training wheels of the social sector...mom or dad still nearby if needed, but she's taking the first steps to create relationships of her own. Soon enough, she'll be venturing out all on her own once in a while. It seems so strange and so right all at once.
- Z said...
I had an 8-year gap between my second child and my third and I found (to my surprise because he was very much planned and wanted) that I found it really hard to go back to the stage of doing things for and with a little child. It was so boring - and yet I'd enjoyed it before, when I had two small children and was completely immersed in their needs and doings.
It helped me make friends, though, when we moved house. I was really shy, so arranging play dates and going to the park etc with other parents was a good way of getting to know people, who we could then invite round and get to know as friends too. We're all so busy now, we don't have so much time for being sociable and I miss that. - 11:00 AM
- KC said...
We haven't gotten to the point that playdates with parents who are not our close friends happen. I guess it is a good way of possibly developing those relationships but that seems strange, indeed. I like being one of Jolie's 2 best friends right now.
- PunditMom said...
It is quite the process. Next weekend, we are booked with seven-year-old activities. But the drop-off playdates are heaven (and do wonders for our own grown-up extracurricular activities)!
- flutter said...
I always knew you were a lusty wench. :)
she is learning to dance, and with you as her mama, she'll learn to fly - 12:08 PM
- slouching mom said...
And there will be yet another stage, this one very freeing for you, when having a child over for a playdate requires less effort from you than having no playdate at all.
- blooming desertpea said...
a third social life - a good way of describing it. And I agree with SM, look forward to having a child over - that can be paradise in hell!
- Janet said...
I have to disagree with you. The park is not the right venue for Bloody Marys; a keg of beer seems more fitting.
I joke! Sort of.
I didn't mind playdates when the kids were young, because they were usually with children of my friends. I found the playdates of early school awkward, though. I would tag along to meet and greet and make sure my kid was comfortable, but I felt awkward and twitchy making small talk over coffee. Blech.
Now, the older two go on drop-off playdates. It is very liberting, as others have said. For me, the liberation is fleeting, as I get to relive the entire "awkward small talk" playdate stage with Elyse in a few years. Send beer. - 1:56 PM
- bgirl said...
oh playdates...you will soon revel in these for the new view of your little one and for the way it can make a long day, suddenly fly by.
- painted maypole said...
she's learning to dance. And so, it seems, are you.
- crazymumma said...
Its an exciting time as they figure out their own tribe. Who they dance with, who they don't.
May she find good partners and share the lead. - 3:43 PM

I know what you mean...the G attended a birthday party last weekend where he did everything on his own for the first time ever (played games, jumped into a pool of foam, walked the balance beam etc.) I didn't even sit next to him when all his buddies gathered together for pizza I have such mixed feelings about this new social life and independence that is evolving.
- Blog Antagonist said...
Eh. I never did get good at it. Fortunately, my oldest is very gregarious and makes friends on his own quite easily. Youngest is like me. We're not terribly outgoing. We kind of like it that way, but sometimes I do feel that he is missing out on things because we don't have a huge network of friends.
- Bon said...
this was a really beautiful post, Jen...in all its thoughtfulness and ambivalence and celebration of M even with the accommodations that are not so easy.
we are not there yet, and i don't think i had really seen this threshold looming, the one where O doesn't just go along with us, to things that are centered around him (maybe) but still not his choice.
huh. i suppose that makes sense.
do you think i can sway him to pick kids with interesting parents? - 4:46 PM
- capacious said...
I always hated that small talk SO MUCH. So much. It didn't kill me (almost, but not quite).
These early playdates lead to the ones where you can leave your kid at someone else's house and go home and do what you want. Of course, you have to reciprocate (if you're an honorable person, anyway), but it's kind of nice to have kids busily playing at your house and that's a kind of freedom too.
I can't believe the escorted playdate is long over for me, I never thought it would be, I thought I would be tortured long into old age. Someday soon (sooner than you can ever guess) you will be saying the exact same thing. - 5:29 PM
- Lawyer Mama said...
It's hard for me too. Small talk is not my forte. Blood marys? Yes! (Did that sound bad?) LOL!
Hollis is teaching me too. He's quiet like me, but he loves being around other kids so much. I'm so lucky to have a few good friends in this are with kids the same age. It makes this new stage easier for me. Although I still wish that we were neighbors, friend! - 5:48 PM
- Tabba said...
a good friend of mine said recently:
"my aunt told me, that if you have a friend who has children and your children and their children get along well, that is a blessing from god".
a tad scary that they are starting to make their way and crazy exciting at the same time. - 6:09 PM
- luckyzmom said...
I admire how you are paying attention to M's development, even though you seem to have a very full schedule.
- jennifer said...
So true- and this train never stops...
- Julie Pippert said...
You see so well and write so gorgeously of that which we all feel and experience to some degree, I think.
And oh baby, how funny...I just wrote a kindergarten transition post; this one is part one...but a subsequent part is Patience Develops Her Own Life. The next stage after M's.
What a beautiful reminder that we've been here before and done fine, right when we are grasping and gasping through so many changes.
And good luck. :)

I'm so bad about playdates. But we actually went to someone's house today, and the kids played while the mom and I talked, and it was nice. It was like...sort of...a little...like making a friend.
- Christine said...
sm is so right--playdates can morph into something so awesome. when my son or daughter has a friend over they are totally OCCUPIED-- for hours. i love it.

You're a great mom, Jen. - 7:56 AM

- meno said...
And it gets busier and busier.
And then they move out. - 9:55 AM
- Susanne said...
I too wonder why there are no bloody marys at the playground. So far I have been the only one I know though. I get easily bored by small talk and most people. (I know I should love them all but I'd rather do that from a distance.) So I avoided that playdate thing as much as I could (and hey, I have to work (and German don't do playdates on Saturdays, only weekday afternoons for some reason)). Now I am blessed with a son whom I can drop at a playdate and then go back home. Hurray for kindergardeners! Or some child comes to our place and I only have to be within earshot and occasionally provide a snack.
It's no wonder though that I haven't made any friends through having a child... - 10:07 AM
- QT said...
Oh this made me laugh - my de-facto SIL used to bring a small round cooler of vodka lemonade to her son's games, which we would drink in the stands. We always had to tell her son that that was for grown-ups only, he had his own cooler.
So a few months ago, he runs over to where we were sitting and points to the cooler and yells across the field - "Mom, is there beer in here?"
She just about died.
Look for those moms - they are out there!!! - 1:28 PM
- Ally said...
I, too, would find the park much more fun if a stand sold Bloody Marys. Ahh, the marys.... (drool).
Glad to hear you had a BBQ and got to know some neighbors better. That's great.
And also, you are right to mark this weekend because it does seem like an important mini-coming-up-in-the-world moment. - 1:51 PM
- Anjali said...
So eloquently put, as always. It's a navigation of a part of childrearing that would best be endured with at least one, if not two Bloody Marys.
- carrie said...
And you are right there by her side, good parents.
- Little Monkies said...
"...because you can't get back what you grow out of, no matter how bright things look as you move forward because space will take on the air you give it and we are ever expanding still."
This made me tear up, for reasons you likely intended and some that you wouldn't have.
We are ever expanding still...
Thanks for that, I so needed those words for some reason.
- Ruth Dynamite said...
Watching them learn to dance, alone and with others, is pure joy.
- Hetha said...
This was beautiful jen, especially "space will take on the air you give it"...absoulutely.
- NotSoSage said...
Oh, this made me tear up a bit. I need to get things together so that I can post about Mme L's dance class this past weekend and the revelations I had.
It's lovely to hear about M. - 8:43 AM

Somalia: Preventing the repeat of a hunger crisis
Somalia is on the brink of a new food crisis, with aid agencies warning that action is needed now. A combination of delayed rains, rising food prices and persistent conflict means that the country's current, fragile food-security situation is expected to deteriorate in the next two months.
Aid groups have requested urgent funding to prevent a repeat of Somalia's 2011 crisis, during which famine was declared and 258,000 people lost their lives.
50,000 children severely malnourished
Humanitarian needs in Somalia are immense. The country is home to one of the world's largest populations of internally displaced people. More than 1 million displaced people live in appalling conditions and lack access to minimum basic social services, such as education, health, shelter and water.
Somalia also has one of the five highest child-malnutrition rates in the world. Fifty thousand children are estimated to be severely malnourished. And one in every 10 Somali children will die before their first birthday.
But the situation has been so bad for so long that the world has almost become immune to it, says Edem Wosornu, the acting Head of OCHA's Somalia office.
"Levels which are considered alarming and unacceptable in other countries tend to be regarded as acceptable in Somalia," said Ms. Wosornu. "Sadly, the world's tolerance for suffering in Somalia is too high. Early warnings about the worsening hunger situation have already been given. Aid agencies are raising the alert now in the hopes of preventing a catastrophe in the coming months."
Health-care services face closure
Despite these warnings, the 2014 aid appeal for Somalia seeking US$933 million is less than 20 per cent funded, leaving humanitarian organizations with a shortfall of over $750 million.
"Some NGOs and UN agencies have so few resources that essential life-saving projects are facing closure," warned Philippe Lazzarini, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia. "If funding is not received in a matter of weeks, primary health-care services for 3 million people, many of them women and children, may have to be shut down."
"The parallels to the pre-famine period in 2010 are very worrying, when the combination of shrinking access, declining funds and a few failed rainy seasons led to a devastating crisis," continued Lazzarini.
"Early warnings must trigger early action at a speed and a scale that saves lives. This requires both immediate access and urgent resources."

And I know this has been posted a hundred times but what's one more?
wallensteinSarasota A great article that strips the veneer off the "romance of war". That the Tigers ate up all life that grew, walked or crawled on Jamestown Island was no doubt occasioned by the pitiful effort the Confederacy made to provision its troops, and the rowdy Catholics were no doubt the last stop for the rebel supply wagons. That said, not resorting to cannibalism has got to count for something in their favor. I very much appreciated the story of the men lapping up the whiskey laced ditchwater like a pack of ravening dogs. Ah, tales of glory in war never cease to amaze; what an appropriate mascot for the Louisiana State University football team.
No, it's not.
The North and Western La. soldiers mostly fought around Shreveport, the Red River Campaign, and East Texas
were in a scouting and sniper unit from the Bush, Waldheim area. Can't recall the name.
12-0 or I bet they wanted to fire the commander

Beats Tour 2.0 In-Ear Headphone (Black)
"This new version of tour is slightly better than the old ones. The bass part is less than the first version and I can tell Beats started to care about the sound quality. But still, everything else don't go very well on this earphone. It is still closed, make people dizzy. Still, I think we can get better sound quality earphones in this price other than Beats Tour.

Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers Reviews
Love These!
I first was turned on to these when I was in the beauty shop of my facialist's business-the girl gave me a packet of these as a free sample, and ever since then I've become obsessed. The presentation is beautiful and comes in an array of colors, and the sheets are soft on your skin and leave you sparkling and fresh, without removing makeup. They fit nicely into most purses and clutches, and they a...read morelso have great gift sets on their website. I gave one to my mom and she absolutely loves it!

Best Blotting Paper EVER!
I have major oily skin and granted it will make me stay young as I get older but sometimes it gets out of control. I used one of the Tatcha papers and my skin look like it was glowing! I was shocked to see that none of my make-up transferred onto the paper. Most blotting papers will remove makeup...what's the point right. I love the packaging and story around the product. This is a MUST have product, especially when your out and about. No more greasy faced pictures online! — 7 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful
These blotting papers are lovely. I like them because they are lightweight, silky smooth but most importantly, they soak up the gobs of oil on my face. Plus, I only have to use one! I tried so many (Clean and Clear, the Body Shop). They are either too small, feel synthetic or just plain don't do the job as well. Glad these came along to free my poor shiny face. — 7 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Riverside attorney Gary Montgomery was distinguished by his poise as a football player and as a student in the classroom at Norco High in 1984, according to Reinhold Klein, a longtime social studies teacher and assistant football coach at the school.
âHe was unflappable in any pressure situation,â said Klein, who is now retired.
Montgomery demonstrated his cool in the first game of the season in September 1984 when he helped stop Riverside Polyâs Mark Green, a future running back at Notre Dame and with the Chicago Bears, short of the goal line on the final play to preserve a Norco win, 7-6.
Montgomery said the victory was a huge confidence boost for himself and his team which had missed the playoffs in 1983 and because Poly was coming off a 14-0 CIF championship season.
âHe was erudite, unassuming,â said Klein of Montgomery. âHis writing skills were off the charts.â
Montgomery, 44, said the cool demeanor he learned on the football field sustains him in the courtroom. Montgomery, a partner in the downtown Riverside firm of Thompson and Colegate, tries to remain detached in the face of sometimes determined, personal attacks by plaintiffâs attorneys.
âThe things you learn in sports carry over particularly in my profession which is very competitive,â said Montgomery who lives with his wife, Renee, and their three children in Riverside.
Montgomery is one of 20 attorneys and 50 employees at his firm. His cases include civil and commercial litigation, product liability, tort defense and employment law.
Montomery is a person always on the go but at the same time in control of himself, said attorney Craig Marshall, a partner in Best, Best & Krieger, a Riverside-based law firm.
âHeâs a man for all seasons,â said Marshall.
Montgomeryâs interest in practicing law was sparked by his participation in mock trial while a student at Norco High. He was a valedictorian in 1985. He chose to go to Princeton University in New Jersey, one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, to experience something outside Southern California.
He said his skills as a defensive back in football combined with his 4.0 GPA gained him admittance to the Ivy League school. He said he left behind a special group of friends who bonded to form the 1984 Norco team that went 10-3, gave up just 64 points and lost to Claremont, 10-3, in the CIF Eastern Conference semifinals.
Montgomery said he was one of many overachievers on the team.
âI donât know if adjusting to football was that difficult,â Montgomery said. âAdjusting to life on the East Coast was most difficult for me, especially the first year.â
He quickly learned how difficult his academics would be. After turning his first essay in an English class, his professor learned that he was a football player. Montgomery said the professor told him he didnât deserve to be at Princeton.

ContentsRoad SignsIt's not true that there's a lack of road signs in Istanbul. I'm from Bulgaria, first time I visit Istanbul by car few weeks ago. There's road signs practically on every crossing, so I didn't lost myself in anytime. (Par example, I did lost my self so often in Sofia, 10 times smaller than Istanbul). I do not use a GPS navigation, only a paper map of Istanbul. I found my hotel in Sultanahmed from the first try. The parking was adventure, but I found one place near the hotel and immediatelly use it :) Road signs used to be a problem. now they got common and useful. Ozanbaba 13:24, 17 June 2010 (EDT) SafetyIstanbul is one of the safest metropols in the world.But you should be careful sometimes.Especially when you walk in crowded streets like Istiklal.(I do not recommend you to go there after 10pm)As for historical peninsula,it is safe too but sometimes sellers in the streets can be annoying.But if you have a Turkish with you especially a licenced tourist guide ,they do not come to you.Your guide can tell them to go away kindly in their own language:)and they understand. Water QualityThe quality of tap water has considerably increased in the past decade. I think current tap water is drinkable. Well at least it is practically drinkable. 184.108.40.206 01:41, 22 June 2006 (EDT)
i live in istanbul, it is not drinkable ... I am an American currently on a month long business trip in Istanbul. Not even the locals drink the water. All of the restaurants pour water only directly from the bottle. Outside of restaurants, bottled water is available virtually everywhere, including by merchants and Gypsie children who run around in the middle of traffic to sell it. In the places of the city where I have been, the water seems to be mostly clean. It does not have any funny odors or smell that are typical of many undrinkable water sources. I have found it perfectly acceptable for showers and brushing teeth so long as it is not swallowed. -Scott Anyone who can afford to buy bottled water does. It is true that you won't get severly ill but it will give you an upset stomach. A bottle of water is 25 cents so why risk it. I think this should be changed and it should say that the water is not drinkable. Turks may be able to drink it but tourists should not. Every hotel I've ever been to has a sign in the bathroom saying not to drink the water. - Kelly As a citizen, living in Turkey, I don't drink tap water. That has many reasons; first and most important of all is the uncontrollable suburbian living areas, located very close or around the water sources, and the pollution they create.
i don't drink the tab water but i drink faucets. Amy is right tab water does not taste well, but it got less chlorinated over the years. by the way most of the water source of the faucets are indeed different. they are usually underground water sources. (in kadıköy, mostly kayışdağı is the main source.) Ozanbaba 13:23, 17 June 2010 (EDT) Rail TravelIs it possible now to travel completely by rail from the airport to Levent? (ASM)
stray cats in Sultanahmet
Can anyone living with deep knowledge of Istanbul districts confirm/deny that the number (or "density") of stray cats in Sultanahmet is much more than in the rest of the city? BTW, originally this piece read like this:
and I assumed that it actually refers to some part of spring time, like March or April. However, we'd prefer real experience on dates this fact does/not apply to. --DenisYurkin 16:30, 20 January 2007 (EST)
Actually it is always said that the highest concentration of stray cats in Istanbul is in Cihangir, a district near Taksim.
DistrictifyAny way you cut it, Istanbul is a "Huge City." It would be far better if this article could be made into a series of districts as is done for other cities in this class. Istanbul is an incredibly important and notable place, and it would be nice to run it as a Destination of the Month, but until a district structure is created and populated, it'll be hard to defend for DotM. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 11:22, 27 October 2007 (EDT)
Districtification suggestionSooner or later, Istanbul article will (have to) be districtified. Istanbul is so big, and attractions are so much (many of which are missing in the article by the way) that, it should already have been districtified in my opinion. Districtification will also help all parts of the city to get their due attention. Anyway, before I've moved to some other place a few months ago, I had lived in Istanbul for seven years, so I assume I know the city pretty well. Here are my suggestions on Wikitravel districts of Istanbul. I am also writing here the official districts they correspond to make it clear. You can check them on this Wikipedia map of Istanbul Province (the unnamed section between Beyoğlu, Kağıthane and Beşiktaş on the map is also Şişli)
As you can see from the map here, after all the district suggestions listed above, we still have a seemingly huge tract of land in the west of the city with no district allocated. They don't have much to list on a Wikitravel article (except a few hotels, mainly near the airport, and maybe a few 'see' and 'buy'), and a casual traveller will unlikely visit those places, so we may put them all together into one district article and call it something like Istanbul/Western Suburbs or Istanbul/Western suburbs (I don't know which version is right). Official districts (east to west): Zeytinburnu, Bayrampaşa, Güngören, Bakırköy, Bahçelievler, Bağcılar, Esenler, Gaziosmanpaşa, Küçükçekmece, Avcılar, Büyükçekmece. Note: This article should not include Çatalca and Silivri, which, actually, are towns fairly out of city and should have their own/seperate city articles (if need be). We may also have an additional stub article named Istanbul/European Side which includes (in isIn tags, for example) and provides links for all districts on European Side (i.e., all of them except Istanbul/Asian Side and Istanbul/Princes' Islands). (but is it logical and technically possible that a district article to include other district articles?) With this districtification layout, anywhere in the city is part of a district and we have no overlapping. These districts can also be further fragmanted into new districts with no problems if a need arises (for example, if Bakırköy occupies too much of Istanbul/Western Suburbs some day, then we can create Istanbul/Bakırköy and split the related content and leave Istanbul/Western Suburbs to other official districts it contains). These district suggestions are also in line with the different 'spirits' of the different areas of the city as well. For example, mostly Ottoman/Oriental-spirited Istanbul/Historical Peninsula is seperate from Istanbul/Beyoğlu with its late Ottoman/West-inspired spirit, which in turn is seperate from Republican era/High-rise Istanbul/New City. I say, let's start with Istanbul/Historical Peninsula, Istanbul/Beyoğlu, Istanbul/Asian Side, and Istanbul/Princes' Islands at least. These have very clear geographical/historical/administrative borders that any opposition will be unlikely. I volunteer for the work of sorting the existing listings into district articles and checking new listings on the city article (and relocate them into districts if it's necessary) during a few next months after the districtification would have taken place. But I am not online very frequently (once every couple of weeks for example), so that process can be a little slow. Also, as far as I can tell, many places are missing especially in see/drink sections. So, until districtification occurs (or until listings are more complete) I suggest to downgrade the status of this article to 'usable'. Any opinions? --Vidimian 09:55, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
I tried to put up a map of Istanbul's districts as you have defined them. If it is necessary to make changes, please let me know. --Peter Talk 11:57, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
The map seems totally right, except that it needs two tiny changes: The islands (to the lower right of the map) should not be the same colour with Asian Side, as they really deserve their own district article. And as I tried to explain before, Şile (to the above right), and Silivri and Çatalca (both at left) should be greyed out, as they are not really part of the city of Istanbul, so they shouldn't be given (or made part of) a district of the city of Istanbul. Regarding the district names: Galata may indeed be a better name (well, not better exactly in coverage, but better in the sense of being more known). But seperating Taksim from Beyoglu/Istiklal Street area doesn't make much sense, as Taksim is the transport hub and the most major entry point for Istiklal Street area, and it's impossible to think of Istiklal Street without Taksim Square, which is one of its two end points. If I were to name one of the proposed districts as 'Taksim', I would definitely give it to Galata/Beyoglu/Istiklal Street area. Naming the district (proposed as 'New City') which includes the high-rise business district in Maslak (approx. 12 km to Taksim Sq.) or the gentrified residential/commercial zone in Etiler (approx. 8 km to Taksim Sq.) as 'Taksim' would be overkill in my opinion. Although it's true that 'Old City'/'Historical Peninsula' is mostly Sultanahmet for tourists (as that is where most of the frequently visited historical monuments are), the name Sultanahmet is too narrow for such a big part of the city. 'Old City'/'Historical Peninsula' does offer way more than Sultanahmet Square, think about it: This part of the city is actually the Constantinople that fell. Even when a traveller with a knowledge of, for example Hagia Sophia or Blue Mosque, comes to this page looking for these two, s/he'll soon recognize that they should be situated in 'Old City' even if s/he can't see any 'Sultanahmet' on distict names (and if s/he hasn't been to Istanbul yet, it's likely that s/he hasn't ever heard about 'Sultanahmet'). And I guess we'll have short explanations next to the district names on the main Istanbul article, so we can mention there that the Sultanahmet that has been looked for is in 'Old City'/'Historical Peninsula'. We can also have a redirect from Sultanahmet to 'Old City'/'Historical Peninsula'. ('Old City' also sounds better to me too, I just proposed 'Historical Peninsula', because it's the local name, and more inscriptive: geographically a peninsula, and also historically important) 'Golden Horn' can be avoided as it's mostly Eyüp, with only a few sights out of it. But still, 'Golden Horn' is more inclusive, so if there is no rule against it, I'd prefer naming that district that way. Otherwise 'Eyüp' is just as fine. But I still really can't think of a better alternative to 'Bosphorus'. 'Istanbul/Asia' would be quite incorrect in my opinion, as that is not Asia really (well, of course it's Asia, but only a very small part of it), and we already have an Asia article – which includes all the places between Üsküdar and Tokyo! Istanbul/Asia would be like subjugating all of Asia under Istanbul (am I getting too emotional?) I couldn't figure out what's the problem with side of 'Asian Side', or why 'Asia' would better convey what is meant than 'Asian Side' but maybe that's because I'm not a native English speaker. But I guess there are also 'sides' in English-speaking countries too, like New York's Lower East Side. Also not to forget the fact that 'Princes' Islands' are also in 'Asia', but not in 'Asian Side' as it's generally used. ('Asian Side' = Mainland Asian Istanbul) --Vidimian 08:33, 5 October 2008 (EDT)
Can listing this way be a solution for the name of 'Sultanahmet'/'Old City' in the districts list of the main article: By listing it this way, we will both have 'Sultanahmet' immediately visible, and also have a more inclusive name for the area and the article. This may also work for other districts too, for example: and about Asia: I also find it tempting to call that area 'Istanbul/Asia', but I don't know, it just sounds quite wrong… By the way, is 'Istanbul/Asiatic Side' better than 'Istanbul/Asian Side', since 'Asian' has some other meanings too, for example would seeing an 'Asian Side' imply that the area is some sort of 'Chinatown' (or similar) to eyes that are totally foreign to the city?--Vidimian 07:35, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
Okay. So here is the districts list as we have it now:
My only hesitation is about 'European Bosphorus'. Maybe naming that district as 'Bosphorus' and then explaining that it only includes European bank of Bosphorus would be better? Anyway, do we have to wait any longer to districtify the city (since only three people has ever left a comment on the issue), or should we plunge forward immediately? And other than creating a 'districts' section on the main article, and sorting the see/eat/drink/sleep listings into new district articles, is there anything else we should do to reformat this article to a 'huge city' article?--Vidimian 09:20, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
I'm taking the "districts discussion" notice off the page and plunging forward. I'll write as much as I can do on some districts, and leave some others with only an introductory paragraph for now. I'll also start with sorting sleep listings first.--Vidimian 08:19, 28 October 2008 (EDT) Deletion- negative reviewHi. I deleted this review:
As it is such a negative review and the best way not to give the hotel business is not to mention them on wikitravel. Thanks. --MarinaK 14:13, 10 October 2008 (EDT)MarinaK. CopeI'm editing the Istanbul article and was struck by this comment in the Cope section- For mid-range and cheap hotels/restaurants, you may actually have a better time if you avoid places listed in your guide! Trust your nose. I understand what the writer was trying to explain, but believe this comment is unnecessary and goes against what we are trying to achieve with our reviews. Can we please delete this comment? The intent of the original writer can still be conveyed through the wording before this paragraph. Thanks. --MarinaK 17:43, 10 October 2008 (EDT)MarinaK.
Hospitals and Clinics / Medical InfoI was wondering if anyone could add any info about hospitals, clinics, and medical centers for travelers, that are free or low-cost. Something specific: any info out there for STD testing, at a facility that doesn't charge an arm-and-a-leg. Are there any municipal health services that offer free testing and/or treatments? Where should foreigners even search for this information? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) VisaUpon arriving I saw that the visa-stickers for EU-citizens are overstamped and the price is now 15 euro. Race, Ethnicity and ReligionPeople living in Istanbul like myself clearly and definitely know that "Istanbul is not famous with having a great tolerance on different cultures, ethnicities and religions." as the contrary stated within the article. I don't believe so. If you are black, people will stare at you. A nearly racist statement in the article says that "most of the black people who settled in Istanbul have a poor economical background". So, how can people understand what others have in their wallets? Also, is it a good reason "to have a negative attitude towards black people"? If you have something that identifies your culture, ethnicity, religion or preference on you, people will try to avoid having a conversation/relationship with you. Also, people may consider the abnormal as a sign of disrespect against their ethnicity or religion. The fact that people will stare at you with smiling faces doesn't at all mean that this is tolerance. Tolerance is entirely something else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)

I have been using CX 400 over a period. Now I want to buy a new in-ear headphone. I have decided to buy Klipsch S4 which seems to be quite popular within $50 range. I listen to Metal Music mostly and also Hard Rock sometimes.
Firstly, how is the audio quality of S4 in terms of bass, mids, treble compared to CX 400.
Secondly, is there any other better option around this price range.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Israel air strikes hit Hamas HQ |
2012-11-17 |
Israeli air strikes have targeted the headquarters of Gaza's Hamas leaders, as the bombardment of the coastal enclave moved into a fourth day. Witnesses reported extensive damage to the building, which Egypt's PM Hisham Qandil had visited on Friday. At least 30 Palestinians and three Israelis have died since Israel killed Hamas's military chief on Wednesday. Israel earlier put 75,000 reservists on stand-by amid speculation of a ground invasion. Militants in Gaza have continued to fire rockets into Israel, aiming at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Friday. Drones over Gaza After a lull overnight - with correspondents reporting that the area was quiet but for the almost-constant buzz of drones overhead - Gaza City was hit by a string of large explosions shortly after 03:00 (01:00) on Saturday. There was another series of strikes in and around the city shortly after 05:00, with several targeting Hamas' cabinet buildings. |

#12 The Turkish prime minister brought a secret passenger in the plane bringing him to Cairo Saturday. He is Saleh Aruri, formerly of the Hamas military wing. Aruri had spent 15 years in an Israeli prison for terrorism and murder until he was released on Oct. 18, 2011 in the prisoner exchange for the Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit on condition he went into exile. Turkey granted him asylum and its intelligence agency MIT gave him free rein to set up an operational command in Istanbul for Hamas terrorist networks on the West Bank. On arrival in Cairo, the Turkish prime minister put Aruri in charge of the contacts with Haniyeh. |

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is located in central Southeast Asia. It is bordered on the west by Cambodia and Laos and on the north by China. On the east, it is bordered by the South China Sea (which the Vietnamese, sensitive to Chinese maritime claims, refer to as the East Sea), together with the Gulf of Tonkin in the north and the Gulf of Thailand in the south. Vietnam has a total land area of only 329,560 square kilometers (127,210 square miles), but due to its elongated shape, its land boundaries total 4,639 kilometers (2,283 miles) and its coastline (excluding islands), 3,444 kilometers (2,140 miles). The topography of Vietnam is widely varied with the Red and Mekong Rivers forming low, flat deltas in the north and south of the country. The central highlands, together with the far north and northwest of Vietnam, are high, mountainous regions.
With a population exceeding 80 million people, Vietnam...

Vandalia's city administrator last Tuesday night rolled out a number of budget cuts that he was proposing in light of shrinking surpluses and decreasing revenues.
With that in mind, we hope that the city council takes a long, hard look at the request for an extension being requested for the proposed $300-million sports and entertainment complex.
