PEMBROKE PINES — The city is in good financial shape, according to a 165-page independent auditor's report.
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report also reveals that the city, on Sept. 30:

* Earned $33,013,690 in investments for the police and fire pension fund, a 148 percent increase over the $13,325,260 earned the previous year.
But the best reading comes in the last chapter, where it gives a host of interesting facts and figures.
Who were the largest taxpayers in the city for the year?
The largest was the Pembroke Lakes Mall, with property valued at $123,445,230. This was 1.2 percent of all assessments in the city. Second largest was rental apartment owner Pasadena Place Associates, with property valued at $106,640,950.
The next eight were Windsor at Pembroke Cay, an apartment complex; Prudential Insurance, which owns commercial property on Pines Boulevard; apartment owner Pembroke Cove; shopping center owner Westfork Tower; rental apartment owner Fairfield Pembroke Ltd.; Taplin Falls Ltd., also a rental complex; and shopping center owners WRI Flamingo Pines Ltd. and WRI Pembroke Ltd.
Who were the major employers during the year?
Memorial Health System, a public hospital district, was the top employer with 3,142 employees, or 35 percent of total city employment. Second was Pembroke Lakes Mall and all the businesses in it, with 2,248, or 25 percent.
Next, in order, were the city, with 1,875 employees; Wal-Mart, with 584; Target, with 208; World Ford with 205; Winn-Dixie, with 200; Cintas Corp., with 198; Claire's Corp. with 190; and Gator Freightways, with 174.

Tips For Teaching Your Teenager To Be A Safe Drive
The incidence of fatalities in teenagers involved in motor-vehicle accidents has decrease by as much as 69% in areas where a curfew has been established and enforced. Most parents are interested in how they can help their teen to become a safer driver, but may not know exactly how to go about it.
According to a spokesperson for the Insurance Institute for the NHTSI, National Highway Traffic Safety Institute, most teens are able to steer and maneuver the car without problems; the difficult part for them is observing the scene, learning to predict danger, and developing the ability to make correct decisions quickly.
Safety experts across the country are advocating for licensing programs that permit young drivers to gradually gain driving experience in three stages; the first stage would be receiving a permit, supervised driving would be the second stage, followed by a restricted driving stage that would allow young drivers to gain a specific number of hours of experience before getting out on the road to drive alone.
Here are some tip to enable you to successfully teach your teens to drive safely;

Driver's Re-Ed
The list of standard safety features on today's even most basic car models would have sounded like a spaceship from a science fiction story only a generation or two ago. Adaptive cruise control? Check. Anti-lock braking system? Blind spot detection? Check. Side curtain airbags? Check. Lane-departure warning? Yes. Rearview camera? Go. Accident avoidance system? Roger.
Car companies have done an amazing job at making automobiles much safer, but despite their best efforts they have not yet been able to solve the biggest threat to driving safety: The driver. There is a flawed inference almost everyone is a victim of. Although cars are the safest they have ever been, driving is not safer, and in fact, has never been more dangerous. Road speeds are higher, population and road congestion have increased exponentially, and people are more distracted than ever with the need for immediate responses to phone calls, emails, and text messages.
With that thought, I'd like to suggest two ideas. One that has been talked about, or at least thought about by almost anyone that has ever been slowly cut off by a senior citizen drifting listlessly into their lane on the interstate. The second is quite a bit more radical. Both of these occurred to me a moment or two after I was nearly killed the other day by a very inattentive driver on Route One in my home state of New Jersey. As I slammed on my brakes and swerved out of the way of an Audi whose driver did not feel it was necessary to check for oncoming traffic before he blew through a stop sign, I realized a few things. The first is that I want to live. The second was that had my car been made several decades earlier, I probably wouldn't have been alive to have a third thought.

Traffic Camera Accuracy Problems Worldwide
In the past week, thousands of vehicle owners across the US, England and Australia will receive refunds after officials admitted that the automated citations they received were either bogus or issued illegally. Since the Robocop devices have been put into use, we have all been assured of their accuracy by the municipalities that have employed them—only to see time and time again that the system is flawed. It seems like you have to get the press or TV news involved just to defend yourself, that is, unless you are the Mayor or Commissioner. It is obvious that the citations are not always being reviewed, that complaints are being ignored, and far worse, as long as the money keeps rolling in… nobody cares. Read on to see that innocent drivers are being ticketed and the only way they get any satisfaction is with the help of the media—not due process.

Automakers Agree with Minimum Standards for Electric Vehicle Noise
In recent car news, The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers met with the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council for the Blind which resulted in an agreement that electric vehicles should be mandated to a minimum noise standard for safety of pedestrians with visual impairment.
New vehicle sales is projected to be just over 11 million this year, and, although a recent McKinsey report predicts that electric vehicles will capture only a small percentage of total vehicle sales in the future (as little as 3–8%), the all-electric motors are virtually silent. Safety issues concerning the risk of blind pedestrians getting hit by electric vehicles has been a topic of concern within advocate groups for the blind for many years. A recent study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2009 concluded that electric vehicles are prone to be at higher risk for accidents involving pedestrians than vehicles with regular engine noise, such as combustion engine automobiles.

Recall Fever: Lexus, Volvo, And Nissan
Here we go again, folks! Recall Fever is striking the auto industry! Today's contestants: Lexus, Nissan, and Volvo. Here we have a brief run-down of the issues; the actual NHTSA recalls are inside the post.
Nissan: There are more than a few Altimas running around that may not be screwed together all that well. The NHTSA warns that 113 2010 Nissan Altimas sold this year may suffer from some structural rickets. Due to a tool maintenance error, some Altimas may have bad welds on their front side members, essential in the vehicles crash-worthiness. Not the end of the world, as it affects so few actual Altimas, but worth having your dealer take a look.
Volvo: There is this thing called a FMVSS label. Open the driver's-side door of any auto and take a look at the sills. There it sits, the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard label. Rather innocuous, sure, but still important. This label contains information on vehicle weight, load limits, proper tire inflation, et. al. Volvo XC70s manufactured between 2008 and 2010 may have incorrect tire-inflation information on these FMVSS labels. Accordingly, there is also a misprint in the owner's manual supplied with these cars. Not a huge deal, but still requires a recall. The NHTSA recommends taking your XC70 to your Volvo dealer, where they will be glad to provide you with a new FMVSS, update your cars tire pressure monitoring software, and apply a sticker to your owner's manual so that you do not get your pretty little head all confused with conflicting tire inflation parameters.
Lexus: Oh, Toyota, you wily dog, you! Though there is no official recall, and zero mention on Toyota's Newsroom page, it appears that Lexus will be recalling up to 11,500 LS sedans because of steering issues. Reports from Japan suggest that LS steering wheels might not return to top dead center quickly enough after a turn. Isn't buttery steering the hallmark of a Lexus? The issue is both mechanical and electrical in nature, according to Mieko Iwasaki, a spokeswoman for Toyota.Iwasaki claims the company plans to recall 7,000 vehicles overseas, including 3,800 in the U.S., and 4,500 units in Japan. Toyota said it is preparing to issue the U.S. recall on Friday for four LS models: the LS 460, LS 460 L, LS 600h, and LS 600h L.

Nissan Thinking of Recalling Some Light Trucks
According to Autonews, Nissan North America is currently thinking of issuing a recall that will affect 48,700 trucks that were built in the U.S. This latest problem is on a lower suspension control link that may not have been welded correctly. Under certain conditions a bushing collar could crack as result of this possible welding defect.
The recall, which was still under discussion with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration late Friday afternoon, will involve some of the 2010 Nissan, Armadas, Titans, Pathfinders, Infiniti QX56, Frontiers, and Xterras models.

New Survey Shows That Honda, Ford Surpass Toyota in Customer Loyalty
The juggernaut carmaker Toyota has enjoyed high customer loyalty ratings for many years. Much like Rome and other empires of the past, Toyota's empire is finally being toppled by rival carmakers over rapidly declining customer loyalty. After several parts being recalled, spanning many different models the company makes, over this past year alone—combined with many other recalls that have been initiated on millions of their cars that are already on the road over the past decade—customers are waning, their confidence with the company is deteriorating, and some are waving goodbye to the recall-plagued carmaker in favor of other auto giants.

How to Avoid Purchasing a Vehicle with A Salvage Title
When Hurricane Katrina struck Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and Hurricane Rita hit Florida, Louisiana and Texas, it was one of the worst natural disasters in United States history. Literally thousands of vehicles were flooded. Not many people are aware of the fact that many of those cars that were severely damaged during natural disasters (or major accidents) were then shipped to other parts of the country in the attempts to launder the titles and sell them to unsuspecting consumers.

Should Grandpa Get Behind the Wheel?
In January 2010, a San Diego car accident resulting in the death of a 15-year-old skateboarder was caused by a 92-year old man who drove away because he hadn't even realized that he had struck a person. According to a news report, the elderly driver said that he thought he had run over an animal or a bird, but when he saw a vigil at the scene of the accident the following day, he realized that he may have actually hit a human being.

GM Recalls 40k 2005-2006 Chevrolet Corvettes for steering column issue.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration announced that General Motors has issued a recall for 2005-2006 Chevrolet Corvettes. The recall is for all Corvette models built between March 2004 and January 2006 with tilt and telescoping steering wheels.
Movement in the steering column could cause signal interruption and illuminate the message "Service Active Handling System" warning light. This problem could also cause the brakes to pull the car to the left or right, thereby causing an accident. This recall affects a total of 40,028 Corvettes. For more information contact the NHTSA's vehicle safety hot line at 888-327-4236 or call Chevrolet at 800-630-2438.

Gas Pedals Not Up To Caliber
The Dodge Caliber is being probed for sticky pedal issues. Chrysler says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating a problem with sticky accelerator pedals in the 2007 Dodge Caliber. The NHTSA said, in a document posted on its Web site, five consumers reported that the accelerator pedal became stuck and would not return to the idle position when released. But it is not aware of any accidents, injuries or property damage.
Chrysler says in a statement that the problem is limited to a small number of vehicles built during a five-week period in March and April of 2006. The automaker says the problem appears to be with a parts supplier and is mechanical, not electronic. The parts in question were made by CTS Corp; if that name sounds familiar, it should. CTS is the supplier of pedals involved in Toyota Motor Corp.'s January recall of some 2.1 million vehicles. Chrysler says it will cooperate fully with the investigation. There has been no recall of the vehicles.

The Conciliation Bill: 1910-1912
In January 1910, H. H. Asquith called a general election in order to obtain a new mandate. However, the Liberals lost votes and was forced to rely on the support of the 42 Labour Party MPs to govern. Henry Brailsford, a member of the Men's League For Women's Suffrage wrote to Millicent Fawcett, the leader of the National Union of Woman's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), suggesting that he should attempt to establish a Conciliation Committee for Women's Suffrage. "My idea is that it should undertake the necessary diplomatic work of promoting an early settlement". (1)
Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) agreed to the idea and they declared a truce in which all militant activities would cease until the fate of the Conciliation Bill was clear. A Conciliation Committee, composed of 36 MPs (25 Liberals, 17 Conservatives, 6 Labour and 6 Irish Nationalists) all in favour of some sort of women's enfranchisement, was formed and drafted a Bill which would have enfranchised only a million women but which would, they hoped, gain the support of all but the most dedicated anti-suffragists. (2) Fawcett wrote that "personally many suffragists would prefer a less restricted measure, but the immense importance and gain to our movement is getting the most effective of all the existing franchises thrown upon to woman cannot be exaggerated." (3)
1910 Conciliation Bill
The Conciliation Bill was designed to conciliate the suffragist movement by giving a limited number of women the vote, according to their property holdings and marital status. After a two-day debate in July 1910, the Conciliation Bill was carried by 109 votes and it was agreed to send it away to be amended by a House of Commons committee. Asquith made a speech where he made it clear that he intended to shelve the Conciliation Bill.
On hearing the news, Emmeline Pankhurst, led 300 women from a pre-arranged meeting at the Caxton Hall to the House of Commons on 18th November, 1910. Sylvia Pankhurst was one of the women who took part in the protest and experienced the violent way the police dealt with the women: "I saw Ada Wright knocked down a dozen times in succession. A tall man with a silk hat fought to protect her as she lay on the ground, but a group of policemen thrust him away, seized her again, hurled her into the crowd and felled her again as she turned. Later I saw her lying against the wall of the House of Lords, with a group of anxious women kneeling round her. Two girls with linked arms were being dragged about by two uniformed policemen. One of a group of officers in plain clothes ran up and kicked one of the girls, whilst the others laughed and jeered at her." (4)
Henry Brailsford was commissioned to write a report on the way that the police dealt with the demonstration. He took testimony from a large number of women, including Mary Frances Earl: "In the struggle the police were most brutal and indecent. They deliberately tore my undergarments, using the most foul language - such language as I could not repeat. They seized me by the hair and forced me up the steps on my knees, refusing to allow me to regain my footing... The police, I understand, were brought specially from Whitechapel." (5)
Paul Foot, the author of The Vote (2005) has pointed out, Brailsford and his committee obtained "enough irrefutable testimony not just of brutality by the police but also of indecent assault - now becoming a common practice among police officers - to shock many newspaper editors, and the report was published widely". (6) However, Edward Henry, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, claimed that the sexual assaults were committed by members of the public: "Amongst this crowd were many undesirable and reckless persons quite capable of indulging in gross conduct." (7)
1911 Conciliation Bill
The general election of December, 1910, produced a House of Commons which was almost identical to the one that had been elected in January. The Liberals won 272 seats and the Conservatives 271, but the Labour Party (42) and the Irish (a combined total of 84) ensured the government's survival as long as it proceeded with constitutional reform and Home Rule.
A new Conciliation Bill was passed by the House of Commons on 5th May 1911 with a majority of 167. The main opposition came from Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary, who saw it as being "anti-democratic". He argued "Of the 18,000 women voters it is calculated that 90,000 are working women, earning their living. What about the other half? The basic principle of the Bill is to deny votes to those who are upon the whole the best of their sex. We are asked by the Bill to defend the proposition that a spinster of means living in the interest of man-made capital is to have a vote, and the working man's wife is to be denied a vote even if she is a wage-earner and a wife." (8)
David Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was officially in favour of woman's suffrage. However, he had told his close associates, such as Charles Masterman, the Liberal MP in West Ham North: "He (David Lloyd George) was very much disturbed about the Conciliation Bill, of which he highly disapproved although he is a universal suffragist... We had promised a week (or more) for its full discussion. Again and again he cursed that promise. He could not see how we could get out of it, yet he regarded it as fatal (if passed)." (9)
Lloyd George was convinced that the chief effect of the Bill, if it became law, would be to hand more votes to the Conservative Party. During the debate on the Conciliation Bill he stated that justice and political necessity argued against enfranchising women of property but denying the vote to the working class. The following day Asquith announced that in the next session of Parliament he would introduce a Bill to enfranchise the four million men currently excluded from voting and suggested it could be amended to include women. Paul Foot has pointed out that as the Tories were against universal suffrage, the new Bill "smashed the fragile alliance between pro-suffrage Liberals and Tories that had been built on the Conciliation Bill." (10)
Millicent Fawcett still believed in the good faith of the Asquith government. However, the WSPU, reacted very differently: "Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst had invested a good deal of capital in the Conciliation Bill and had prepared themselves for the triumph which a women-only bill would entail. A general reform bill would have deprived them of some, at least, of the glory, for even though it seemed likely to give the vote to far more women, this was incidental to its main purpose." (11)
Christabel Pankhurst wrote in Votes for Women that Lloyd George's proposal to give votes to seven million instead of one million women was, she said, intended "not, as he professes, to secure to women a larger measure of enfranchisement but to prevent women from having the vote at all" because it would be impossible to get the legislation passed by Parliament. (12)
On 21st November, the WSPU carried out an "official" window smash along Whitehall and Fleet Street. This involved the offices of the Daily Mail and the Daily News and the official residences or homes of leading Liberal politicians such as H. H. Asquith, David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Edward Grey, John Burns and Lewis Harcourt. It was reported that "160 suffragettes were arrested, but all except those charged with window-breaking or assault were discharged." (13)
The following month Millicent Fawcett wrote to her sister, Elizabeth Garrett: "We have the best chance of Women's Suffrage next session that we have ever had, by far, if it is not destroyed by disgusting masses of people by revolutionary violence." Elizabeth agreed and replied: "I am quite with you about the WSPU. I think they are quite wrong. I wrote to Miss Pankhurst... I have now told her I can go no more with them." (14)
1912 Conciliation Bill
Henry Brailsford went to see the Emmeline Pankhurst and asked her to control her members in order to get the legislation passed by Parliament. She replied "I wish I had never heard of that abominable Conciliation Bill!" and Christabel Pankhurst called for more militant actions. The Conciliation Bill was debated in March 1912, and was defeated by 14 votes. Asquith claimed that the reason why his government did not back the issue was because they were committed to a full franchise reform bill. However, he never kept his promise and a new bill never appeared before Parliament. (15)
Ray Strachey, the author of The Cause: A History of the Women's Movement in Great Britain (1928) pointed out that Millicent Fawcett now lost complete confidence in the Liberal Party to give women the vote: "Nothing more was ever hoped for the Liberal Party. The only prospect of successful lay in a change of Government, and to this end the women now devoted their energies." (16)
In early 1912 Millicent Fawcett and the NUWSS took the decision to form an electoral alliance with the growing Labour Party, as it was the only political party which really supported women's suffrage. "It soon strengthened that alliance, setting up a special Election Fighting Fund in May-June so that the NUWSS could help Labour candidates more effectively at by-elections." (17)
The WSPU responded by organising a new campaign that involved the large-scale smashing of shop-windows. Frederick Pethick-Lawrence and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence both disagreed with this strategy but Christabel Pankhurst ignored their objections. As soon as this wholesale smashing of shop windows began, the government ordered the arrest of the leaders of the WSPU. Christabel escaped to France but Frederick and Emmeline were arrested, tried and sentenced to nine months imprisonment. They were also successfully sued for the cost of the damage caused by the WSPU. (18)
Primary Sources
(1) Paul Foot, The Vote (2005)
Henry Brailsford started from the undeniable fact that the vast majority of Members of Parliament, even after the 1910 elections, favoured votes for women in some measure. Surely, he reflected, a deal could be arranged so that majority could be converted into enfranchising legislation. Tirelessly, he put together what became known as the Conciliation Committee, composed of 36 MPs all in favour of some sort of women's enfranchisement. The Committee cobbled together a Conciliation Bill that would grant the vote to some women. Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst and the Pethick-Lawrences were suspicious of the new Bill but did not oppose it. Reluctantly, they agreed a temporary truce in which all militant activities, including byelection campaigning against Liberal candidates, would cease until the fate of the Conciliation Bill was clear.
The Pankhursts' suspicions were firmly based. The Bill was infected by the rotten compromises that had dogged so many similar measures in the past. Under its provisions, married women were barred from voting in the same constituency as their husbands. Lodgers, too, had no vote - a restriction that especially shocked Emmeline Pankhurst. Far too many concessions, she complained, were made to the Tories on the Committee, all of whom were terrified by the spectre of universal suffrage. Nevertheless, the truce held. After a two-day debate in July 1910, the Bill was carried by 109 votes, and immediately sent to a committee of the whole House, thus ensuring that at least until the second general election of 1910 it was doomed. Studying the division lists, Brailsford and his colleagues were surprised to see the name of Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, Home Secretary, as an opponent. Churchill had given an assurance to the Conciliation Committee that he would support the Bill, and had even allowed his name to be published as a supporter. Brailsford had the first clear sign of the duplicity of the Liberal politicians with whom he was dealing.
In November 1910, in protest at the failure of the first Conciliation Bill, Emmeline Pankhurst convened a huge meeting and enjoined the audience to "come with me to the House of Commons". Hundreds of women followed her. It looked as though the truce was at an end, but the brutality of the police that evening was disgusting enough to swing the pendulum of public opinion towards the protesters. Brailsford himself took charge of the collection of evidence from the demonstrators. His report contained enough irrefutable testimony not just of brutality by the police but also of indecent assault - now becoming a common practice among police officers - to shock many newspaper editors, and the report was published widely. Its impact went way beyond the bounds of the Woman's Press, which had commissioned it. The report, and the new Liberal Government that took office after the election of December 1910, also bought more time for the WSPU truce on militancy. The truce held while a new Conciliation Bill was published without the £10 property qualification for voting that had been in the first Bill, and without an express ban on husbands and wives voting together. In a sudden surge of public and parliamentary enthusiasm, the second reading of this Bill passed the Commons on 5 May 1911 with a majority of 167, and for a brief moment it seemed to Brailsford, Nevinson and company that their prodigious negotiations had been worthwhile:
They were reckoning without top Liberal politicians, in particular the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George. Lloyd George loved high office. He was not remotely interested in votes for women, and he regarded the campaigners, especially the militant ones, as an infernal nuisance. On the other hand, he understood that the Conciliation Committee posed a problem for the Government. A Commons majority of 167 could hardly be ignored, especially when the Bill had been passed two years running. But Lloyd George was convinced that the chief effect of the Bill, if it became law, would be to hand more votes to the Tory Party. The problem called for what Lloyd George would have described as diplomacy, but quickly turned out to be duplicity. After stalling the WSPU all through the summer, Lloyd George started secret discussions with Brailsford and the Conciliation Committee. On 7 November 1911, he told the Committee he would support the Conciliation Bill if another Bill to introduce manhood suffrage failed. No such Bill had even been suggested, but, as if by magic, the following day Prime Minister Asquith announced that in the next session of Parliament he would introduce a Bill to enfranchise most men - a Bill that, he promised, could be amended to include women.

Our resident NHL handicapping professional shares his two top totals of the night in this betting preview article. He'll be discussing the games between Minnesota/Nashville and Los Angeles/Calgary.
Minnesota Wild vs. Nashville Predators 8:05 PM ET
According to the NHL betting odds. at Heritage, the posted total in this game today is 5.0. These Central Division rivals have seen just one of their previous six encounters stay under the total.
The Nashville Predators haven't seen any of their previous five games overall stay under the total, and have gone over the number in each of the last three played at home. The Predators have scored three goals or more in their last five games, and have allowed three or more in six of their previous eight overall. Nashville has seen nineteen of twenty-nine games this season go over the total when facing an opponent with a winning percentage of better than .500. Pekka Rinne is slated to be in goal for the Predators tonight, and he's compiled a terrible .860 save percentage during his previous four starts.
Although the Wild have been stellar defensively for the better part of this season, they possess the talent to play any style of game in which the opposition chooses. Considering that Nashville has shown a tendency to open things up and be involved in some high scoring affairs of late, I'm leaning toward this one playing on the high side of the number for one of my NHL picks on Thursday.
NHL Pick: Play on Minnesota and Nashville over 5.0 at Heritage.
Check out our Stanley Cup Safe Bet & Long Shot
Los Angeles Kings vs. Calgary Flames 9:05 PM ET
The NHL betting odds at Pinnacle indicates that the posted total in this game is 5.0. This will be the fifth meeting of the season between these Pacific Division rivals and only the second that will be played at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. The Flames have won three of the first four encounters, and the lone meeting in Calgary stayed under the total.
The Los Angeles Kings have seen just three of their previous fourteen games go over the total. Jonathan Quick is scheduled to be between the pipes tonight for the Kings, and he's been sharp in his last three starts, compiling a stellar .938 save percentage.
The Calgary Flames have gone under the total in each of their last three games. Calgary has also seen five of their previous six games at home stay under the total. The veteran Jonas Hiller is slated to be in goal tonight for the Flames, and he's posted a brilliant .938 save percentage in his last four starts.
I'm going to stay on the low side of the total in this game for one of my NHL picks on Thursday.
NHL Pick: Kings and Flames to go under the total of 5.0 at Pinnacle.

Start Xserver without Monitors
Dear all:
I'm working on a cluster server, and there are no monitors attached to nodes of the cluster. Each node of the cluster equipped with two Nvidia video cards, and I want to start a xserver for each node to create a OpenGL context for 3D off-screen rendering. but the "xinit" was failed because monitors are needed.
Is there a solution to setup a virtual monitor or something for each video card so the OpenGL context could be created?
many thanks for your help:)

Considering Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are great friends, it's no surprise to see them rock similar styles — on the same night! Selena opted for a metallic mini for her performance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, while Taylor turned up in a gold sequin Elie Saab frock at the ACM Honors. While they both sparkled, I like how each gal stayed true to their signature style — Taylor's look was more feminine and sweet, while Selena was more sexy and fun. Katrina Mitzeliotis

Evening all
I've recently just added t3 to my treatment for hashis/hypothyroid and I feel it's going well. It's been 10 days and taking 25mcg along with 75mcg levo (originally was 175/200). Taking it slowly with the dose and want to prove to my GP/ eventually see y endo that this is the right thing for me which I hope it is! Mood is better and energy levels more consistent and past few days not as fatigued.
Anyways, my question. Does/ has anyone suffered from intermittent intense jaw pain on one side? It's been on an off for a while but this week it's been a daily occurrence. Teeth and mouth seem healthy so was thinking it may be related to my goitre? Had a thyroid scan last June which confirmed a goitre but no further tests or new for FNA.
Genuinely feel a difference in a positive way health wise, long May it continue!
Thanks all x

What? I must have misheard these three women speaking about a student that was accepted to all 20 colleges that he applied to, a feat that no one at Faux news has ever accomplished. On top of this, he got a full ride to all of these schools. Please understand, this is an extraordinary accomplishment and Michael Brown and his family are to be congratulated and celebrated. Congratulations, Michael Brown! You are amazing!
But, here are these three women who are saying that it was "obnoxious" that he should have applied to that many schools and causing other students to get waitlisted because he "took" their spot.
Exsqueeze me?
Took? That young man EARNED every one of those spots. He has a right to apply to as many schools as he wants to. If he wants to shoot the moon and apply for 20 schools, then that is his right. Who cares what admissions offices say? It's a damn competitive world out there and this young man beat out thousands of students to get accepted to all the schools he applied to and to get a full ride to all of them.
Let's be clear: this young man wrote 20 essays, filled out 20 applications, and paid 20 application fees. None of this was given to him. On top of this, he worked extraordinarily hard throughout his academic career to even get a look from these schools, much less accepted and given full scholarships to them. This achievement should be celebrated by everyone for his courage in applying, his hard work and his commitment to excellence.
But not Faux News. Oh no. They're going to talk about how he's "obnoxious" and "selfish."
I'm surprised they didn't find a place to throw in the word "thug" to describe him.
This is a clear case of racism if I've ever seen it. Instead of celebrating this young man, they demean him, call him names, and characterize him as just another "selfish young person." If this had been a white student getting a full ride to all 20 colleges they were accepted to, I can guarantee that none of these anchors would have said that they were selfish or obnoxious.
And, let's be honest, if he had gotten in for basketball or football, he would have been heralded as the "next big thing." Just goes to show where Faux News thinks young African-American men belong: on a football field/basketball court or in jail.
A senior in high school getting accepted into college is an amazing feat. It really is. There are not enough spots at our institutions of higher education to give to everyone that wants to attend. You have to start planning by the time you're in 6th grade as to how you want to make an impression in middle and high school to get a coveted spot. The fact that this young man made all the right decisions, worked hard and was able to achieve that 20 times is a success that should be celebrated.
This is just another example of how Faux News gets it wrong in so many ways.
Fox has never appreciated education, running segments like "Are College Professors Brainwashing Students?" or when host Laura Ingraham mocked David Hogg for not getting into UCLA. Because, for Fox, critical thinking is "un-American" and not "patriotic." Questioning whether or not America is exceptional is, apparently, not okay. For Faux, being educated is tantamount to treason and Michael Brown, being a young African-American man, is not someone that these folks feel is deserving of the same kinds of opportunities that they had because he is black.
And when this woman states that "The best part about this story is that 19 kids get to come off the wait list," she's not talking about 19 kids. She's talking about 19 WHITE kids that get to come off the wait list to accept a free ride to a great school; because, how DARE a white child's education be in the hands of a young black man and his superior intellect and work ethic. They try to play it off like they would say this about any child who got accepted to this many schools; but, let's be honest: Fox news is not a friend of those who do not look like Tomi Lahern, Bill O'Reily or the current occupant of the White House.
No matter what a child looks like, no matter their color or ethnicity or religion or sexual orientation, every single time a student gets accepted to college it should be celebrated. And with the competition so fierce for spots at colleges, young people like Michael Brown should not only be celebrated but held up as an example of what can be accomplished with hard work and a drive to be successful.
Unless, of course, your final goal is to make sure that folks remain uneducated and unquestioning so that they accept whatever you say as gospel. If that is your goal, Fox News, then keep on doing what you're doing. It's working well.

It seems that the first look along with the film's title would be unveiled on her birthday – November 17 midnightaround 12 a.m. It is worth mentioning that she plays the role of a district collector in this movie, which is based on a social issue revolving around water crisis in a village and how she sorts out the issues.

I have miniature donkeys and I posted last year about a jennet that was foundered. I had to keep her dry lotted most of the summer, treating her daily. Now she has foundered again, only a different foot. We are droughty, so I don't know what may have caused this round. She has been eating hay and what grass we have. I don't feed grain in summer except when I want to get them penned or to mix with meds. And then just a handful.
I have soaked her hoof in Epsom salts, dug around in there for a bit, and didnt find anything like drainage but I put some of the salve the vet gave me last year, a bit of cusion, (a maxi pad!! My farrier uses disposable diapers but they are too hard to cut up and her hooves are so small.) and wrapped her up. Also gave her some anti inflamatory. Is there anything else I can do? Once they founder, they are more likely to founder again, correct? This is the third summer in a row. It's getting tiresome but I don't want to sell her to someone else who may not take care of her and she's bred. Due in October.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Foundered again!!

Re: Foundered again!!
Are you sure that she foundered? Have you had your vet check her? Is it a front or rear hoof. Usually when an equine founders, it is in both front feet, unless the animal is putting undue stress on one leg.
Is it possible that she has an abcess?

|I have to water my mint plants daily because of the strong sun in Barcelona. So, it gets 2 pints of water a day. Every morning. Onto the surface.
Can that cause the leaves turning yellow close to the surface?

|Yes, yellow leaves are soggy roots, also crowded ones. The heat shouldnt bother the plant, but get a deeper pot for the roots to drain better, and try to give them a bit of shade in the afternoon sun. Also, you are pinching top sprigs? It helps the plant know to keep growing

kittriana said:Forgot to mention- this could also just be the old leaves dropping, as mints can get leggy if just allowed to grow,
Yeah, you must be right. I totally cut it back and now new stems are everywhere, but their leaves dont look as healthy as the leaves that the plant had when I bought it. I just dont know what I am doing wrong. :)
It looks good in the photo, but when the leaves are observed carefully there are tiny brown patches on them and their colour is just not dark green. No clue. Something feels off with this plant. I might just uproot the whole things and put 3-4 new offshoots in the soil to see how they will do.

|Ok, i have returned. Mint loves attention, but does best with hard times and abuse- like a weed. Poorer soil brings out its flavors more intensely, the constant cropping sends roots DEEPER, makes them stronger. All plants wilt in the heat and sun. It is a survival trait to withdraw moisture into the roots, then with the sun setting, the plant perks up once again. You might help it thru the changes, Not with water, but with a few hours of shade during the time the sun is strongest.
Good luck!

|I saw the basil picture in your other question.. did you put 5+ mint plants in here as well, or is that just one plant? You can't tell with mint since it sends up many shoots. If you have roots in that one pot from 5+ mint plants, that might be adding to your issue. I could be wrong.. maybe mint doesn't care since it has so many shoots normally.

On Monday July 9, 2012 one of the gentlest souls to ever walk this planet made her last trip to the vet. Sadie wasn't my dog, but I loved her as if she was. I am spared the pain of coming home and expecting to hear the thump of her tail and the sudden shock of disappointment of realizing I will never hear it again. I feel the loss of her nonetheless. My good friends H and B were fortunate to have Sadie come into their lives. I don't know what they ever did to deserve her, but it must have been something great because she was a wonderful dog. Truly one of those special dogs you find once or twice in your life if you are very lucky.
I hope you are having fun with Puss and Zoe at the Rainbow Bridge Sadie. We will all see you again one day.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Dr. Richard Crosby, Piano Camp II Director
Richard Crosby was born in Ashland, Ohio and raised in Largo, Florida. He holds the Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education (1979), the Master of Music degree in Piano and Wind Conducting (1981) and the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Piano (1990) from the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. His principal piano teachers at CCM were John Meretta and Richard Morris, and his principal conducting training was with John Leman and Terry Milligan.
Dr. Crosby was appointed to the faculty of Eastern Kentucky University in 1986 where he serves as Professor of Music teaching piano and music history. He is an active adjudicator. Dr. Crosby also serves as Director of the Stephen Collins Foster Piano Camps, held every summer at EKU. Initiated in 1975 into the Eta-Omicron chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the fraternity for men in music, Dr. Crosby served as Collegiate Province Representative for the fraternity's Province 3, and has served since 1988 as Governor of Province 25. He was a trustee of the Sinfonia Educational Foundation from 1988-97 and from 2003-present. He served as committeeman-at-large and National Secretary/Treasurer on the National Executive Committee from 1988-94, and served as National President from 1994-97 and 2003-09.
Dr. Crosby's compact disc/cassette recording, "An American Portrait," released in 1994, features works of Charles Griffes, Amy Beach, William Grant Still, David Guion, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Lee Hoiby and George Gershwin. This disc has since been re-released on the Capstone Record label and is being re-released on the PARMA label. In the fall of 1998 he used his sabbatical to tour the country promoting American music through lectures and performances of the works on this CD.
In 2003 Dr. Crosby received his first commission from the Kentucky Music Teachers Association to write a piece to be premiered at their fall convention. That work, the Sonata for Trombone and Piano Op. 1, was premiered at the convention's Kentucky Composers Concert with the composer accompanying trombonist Ken Haddix, to whom the work is dedicated. It has been published as part of Southern Music's ITA Manuscript Press series. In addition to the sonata he has composed a number of art songs on poems by Poe, Dunbar, Arnold and Burns, plus "By the Waters of Memory" for solo piano and "Marudvina" for violin and piano, both published by Prairie Dawg Press. March 4, 2006 saw the world premiere of his "Appalachian Variations Op. 2, " published by TRN Music Publisher, for symphonic band, commissioned by EKU in honor of it's centennial observance. 2007 saw the world premiere of "A Walt Whitman Portrait" for chorus and symphonic band, which was again performed in Louisville in February of 2008 at the Kentucky Music Teachers Association In-Service Conference. This work was published by Northeastern Music Publications in 2010. In 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Crosby was the recipient of an ASCPlus award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. He recently premiered his Sonata For Viola and Piano Op. 10 (commissioned by the Kentucky Music Teachers Association) and is working on a Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra and three pieces for piano.

Spider Veins or Thread Veins are very thin and superficial veins usually red in colour but also purple. They affect about 30% of the population both men and women and they are mainly found in the face, arms and legs.
Spider Veins can be hereditary and are also associated with hormonal changes, alcohol consumption, exposure to extreme weather, and prolonged standing.
Elos IPL Spider Veins & Rosacea Treatments work by applying gentle light pulses and radio frequency to the spider veins causing the blood inside them to coagulate and harden. The dried out blood vessels are then naturally absorbed by the body and no longer visible.
Elos IPL is a very effective treatment as it specifically targets the Spider Veins and leaves the surrounding skin practically untouched. This is an advantage over Laser treatment and can be used to treat larger veins.
Rosacea is a common but poorly understood facial disorder. Symptoms are redness of the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead, and visible blood vessels on the face. While the cause of Rosacea is unknown and there is no cure, treatments are recommended to keep it under control before it becomes increasingly severe. If left untreated the condition may cause a thickening and enlargement of the skin, most frequently around the nose. It can also cause irritation of the eyes.
Elos IPL will effectively treat the visible capillaries and flushing, as well as reduce the progression of Rosacea. Some of the effects are visible immediately however it normally takes between 2-4 weeks for the skin to clear.
Are the Elos IPL Spider Veins and Rosacea Treatments painful?
For the most part, Elos IPL treatments are pain free, however in certain areas you may experience a hot, pin prick like feeling as the light hits the affected area. This is normal and easily tolerated.
What happens after the treatment?
After an Elos IPL Spider Vein and Rosacea treatment there may be some redness of the skin for around 24 hours but this is not always the case.
There is no recovery time and you will be able to return to your normal activities right away. Sun exposure to the treated areas should be avoided for a few weeks.
How many Elos IPL Spider Veins & Rosacea treatments are required?
The number of treatments will vary depending on the individual needs. In average 4-6 treatments are required for optimal results. Treatments are spaced every 3 to 4 weeks. Treatment sessions take about 30 minutes.
*50% discount of regular prices. We'll maintain these prices for up to 6 treatments. Not valid in conjunction with any other discounts or offers.

Author has written 1 story for Hunger Games.
Never dreamed I'd be so enthralled by a young adult book series, even to the point of trying my own hand at fanfiction, which 6 months ago I didn't even know existed. The writers producing HG fanfics are quite talented, though. In addition to my favorites listed below on this site, I also have a list of great stories on my tumblr account - katnissinme.tumblr.com. Check it out if you're looking for incredible stories not just on ffnet, but on AO3 and tumblr as well.
Used to have 2 stories here until the archaic censors on this site saw fit to remove one. You can find it - Surrender - on my tumblr account. I also post the M rated chapters from The Way Back there as well, though you don't need to read those to fully enjoy the T rated version posted here.
Update 9/18/12 - I am now posting my stories on my new AO3 account (finally got one!). Same penname - www.archiveofourown.org/users/Katnissinme.
Update 10/4/12 - I'm now available to beta for anyone who'd like a little help with your stories before publishing.
Update 11/5/12 - Just posted another oneshot on tumblr and AO3. Explicit in nature - called Not Yet.

I don't know if you realised, but I've been featuring 1 sunscreen a month since February. There was Clarins, Dior and now Kiehl's. My crystal ball tells me there should be another one next month, and maybe the next. Heh =) OK, I will try to keep things short and sweet because I have a tendency to ramble and go on and on and on. Today, I present to you Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF50+++.
The tube itself is really light and small, not much bigger than the size of my palm. I thought it was rather cute. I guess the brand wants you to know very clearly the benefits of applying sunscreen. See the prints on the tube? Self explanatory. Let me remind you though, those are benefits of sunscreen application. This product alone doesn't get rid of existing hyperpigmentations. This product alone doesn't stop natural skin aging. I do feel the prints can be a little misleading, but I'm sure many consumers are better informed nowadays. And of course, it's just me being a bit anal. It's just the packaging. AND, if you never wear sunscreen, you will surely see hyperpigmentation on your skin sooner than you think. The sunscreen is made to be suitable for sensitive skin as well, and for my skin that is prone to breakouts, I'm glad to report that I don't see any popping out.
Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense is what it claims – light. The consistency reminds me of Diorsnow UV Shield, initially. Looks creamy not watery, but it applies like a cool gel. There is no heavy residue or a white cast over my face either. What I like about it is that it doesn't promote sebum production, keeping my face natural the whole day. No shiny disco ball. The more I use it, the more I like it! I even used it on Chloe and Ashlyn on our recent trip. We were in the sun a lot, and I kept on re-applying this on them and on myself. Even though we were sweating like pigs, this sunscreen stayed on comfortably. Need I say more?
Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense is a chemical sunscreen. If you're picky, wanting to stick to physical ones, this will not be for you. I'm not too fussed about what kind of sunscreen it is, as long as it feels light and lets my skin breath. I live in a hot and very humid country, and if this works for me, it should work for those who live in cooler climates. For those of you who are interested in the list of ingredients, photo below is for you.
This 30ml sunscreen retails for RM140 and is available at all Kiehl's counters and stores nationwide. That's probably my biggest con for you. The price. Of course, I've paid much more, but 30ml isn't really that much of a product. I can finish the tube in 2 months, maybe less. This is a little pricier than Shiseido, a tad bit cheaper than Clarins and much cheaper than Dior.
What do you look for in a sunscreen? I feel that the new generation ones are light and non oily on the skin. So far, the products that I have tested are all quite gentle on the skin and I'm really starting to love this one too. What sunscreen are you using now?

Awards seek out Scotland's 'Heritage Angels'
- Scottish Heritage Angel Awards 2016 open for entries
Volunteer groups and individuals, who contribute to Scotland's historic environment, are being asked to step forward and make themselves known, as entries for the Scottish Heritage Angel Awards 2016 from – Friday 10th June.
Now in its second year, the awards scheme, funded by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, celebrates the important efforts of volunteers or 'Angels' in helping to better understand, protect and value Scotland's heritage and history.
Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose charity, established the Scottish Heritage Angel Awards, said: "I am passionate about saving heritage for future generations. After a successful and inspiring first year, I'm thrilled my Foundation can help the Scottish Heritage Angel Awards return and recognise everyone who is working tirelessly to preserve their heritage. I urge those of you who are involved in saving heritage at risk to come forward and let us celebrate your achievements."
Last year's inaugural awards saw over 80 nominations being received for heritage volunteers across the length and breadth of the country. The initiative, the first of its kind in Scotland, highlighted a range of worthwhile voluntary projects, activities and individuals. It celebrated everything from the recording of 3,500 gravestones and memorials in a garden cemetery to an individual's commitment to archaeology, which spanned more than 20 years.
This year's awards will also take the opportunity to recognise the valuable contributions that young people make to the wider historic environment, with a new category for 2016. Entries are now being welcomed for the Young Heritage Angel Award, along with the returning categories.
The five Scottish Heritage Angel Awards categories are:
- Investigating and Recording
- Caring and Protecting
- Sharing and Celebrating
- Young Heritage Angel Award
- Lifetime Contribution to the Historic Environment
The open for entries announcement follows on from new research findings*, published earlier this month, that show the scale and scope of volunteering within Scotland's historic environment. Commissioned by Historic Environment Scotland and Built Environment Forum Scotland (BEFS), it revealed that last year alone, over 17,000 heritage volunteers clocked up 121,000 days' worth of voluntary work.
Volunteers have from now until Friday 12th August 2016 to enter. Winners will be announced at the second annual Scottish Heritage Angel Awards ceremony, which will take place in Edinburgh, in October.
John Pelan, Director of the Scottish Civic Trust, said: "We're pleased to once again be able to invite nominations and entries for this truly unique awards initiative. We hope to build on the great success of last year's first ever Scottish Heritage Angel Awards. As part of this year's scheme, we're welcoming entries for our new for 2016 category, the Young Heritage Angel Award, which seeks to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions that young people make to our historic environment.
"This awards programme showcases the wonderful history and heritage that is held in communities across Scotland. Whilst, and importantly, recognising and celebrating the valuable contributions that some of the country's 17,100 heritage volunteers make to help us better understand, protect and value our heritage.
"We look forward to seeing this year's submissions and I'm personally excited to discover more about the individuals and groups behind a range of projects and activities, which actively contribute to Scotland's wider historic environment."
The awards are delivered in partnership with the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, Historic Environment Scotland, Scottish Civic Trust, Archaeology Scotland and the Scottish Government. They also support the delivery of Scotland's historic environment strategy – Our Place in Time, which places a strong focus on supporting and enabling community participation and engagement across the historic environment.
Applications for the 2016 Scottish Heritage Angel Awards are now open. For full details on how to enter, or nominate someone else, for an Angel Award please visit www.scottishheritageangelawards.org.uk

How to write an essay

But, if the author does not even know what to say in different dialogues, then come up with an essay and start writing it is a very difficult task.

You have to start by thinking about your thesis statement. The thesis statement is the main idea of your essay, which is written in one sentence. Thesis statement ought to be written in the introduction of your essay. Do not make it too long; also, you do not have to write it as a question.
Attempt to investigate papers of different students. Look at their structures and contentions. Endeavor to ask them different questions, for instance why he chose to pick precisely that contention. Endeavor to check whether his paper is sufficiently coherent. If not, try to not to do a similar mix-up.
You do not need to write an essay from the first person. Necessary to avoid pronouns such as "I," "you," "your," "we," "my," "our." It would be better to confirm your opinion by using different facts; it will look more convincing.
Start thinking about the title of your essay. I should be short, not bigger than forty symbols. It should make your reader pay attention to your essay.
At your conclusion, you have to sum up everything you wrote in your body paragraph. The arguments you put should motivate the reader to make certain conclusions. In the final part of the work, the main thesis must be re-mentioned in order to remind readers of what they read.
If you still cannot understand how to construct your essay, then you may ask your friends or professors to help you with your essay. Or you may buy it on the internet. There is a huge amount of different solutions to this problem, you just need to try. Good luck!

KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak cannot be compared to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the latter carries with him a lot of baggage, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.
He noted that Dr Mahathir was prime minister during the time a number of regimes surrounding Malaysia were ousted.
And Dr Mahathir was compared as apple-to-apple with these ousted dictators, he said in his blog sskeruak.blogspot.my.
He went to say that the western media had accused Dr Mahathir of wasting billions of ringgit of the nation's money including those labelled as 'leakages'.
"This was published in a book and is another Mahathir legacy which Najib should not be compared with," Salleh said.
The minister further said that in 2013, Dr Mahathir accused Najib of neglecting the Malays and of pandering to the Chinese, whereas it was the Malays who supported UMNO.
"For sure Najib cannot be compared to Dr Mahathir," he said.

Cali, one of the most beautiful cities of Colombia, makes not only dance lovers but also taste hunters truly happy. Platillos Voladores Restaurant which is established by the famous Colombian chef Vicky Acosta is one of the must-seen stops in Cali. Let me take you to a little journey in this restaurant.
While I was researching on the must-seen restaurants in Cali, I came across with Platillos Voladores Restaurant by Vicky Acosta. I wanted to visit and try their meals since there are lots of positive and assertive comments about this restaurant and whether these comments are true. When I shared this issue with my friend Isabel, she told me that friend of her, Marcela Ramirez, knows Vicky Acosta and she can arrange a meal together. After a couple of days we had this conversation, we found ourselves at Platillos Voladores Restaurant in an afternoon as Vicky Acosta's special guests.
Located in a detached house, the restaurant is so cozy and chic in terms of ambiance. All the details on the walls and tables of the restaurant shows feminine characteristics due to the owner.
We were four people for lunch: Isabel, Marcela, a friend of Vicky and me. After we took our places, dear Vicky showed up. Having a small introducing session and conversation followed by deciding on what to try on menu. Everybody was confused due to lots of options. Seeing this confusion of us, Vicky offered that we can rely on her and she can serve us meals with different taste profiles. Each of us was satisfied with this deal. It was all about waiting, seeing what we are going to taste and just enjoying! Here are the meals we found the chance to try.
While we were waiting, "Carantanta", "Chontaduro" and "Chontaduro Rolls" came as appertizers. Carantanta, as corn being the main ingredient, is an appertizer that gives you a little bit of chill and served with peanut sauce. Chontaduro is a fruit which looks like pumpkin. Being served with honey and salt, this fruit has a strong taste. It might not be for everyone to be liked. I prefer Chontaduro Rolls because it is fried and the fruit is used in mashed form.
After trying our appetizers, we continued with some soup. Vicky served us Baudo which contains pasta, salted cheese and fish of the day. I really suggest you to try this delicious soup which got full five stars from us.
With great appetite finishing our soups, we immediately started to think what is the next plate we are going to get. After this marvelous fish, what would be our next flavor bomb? While these type of questions were provoking our minds, we had Encocado which also contains fish. Prepared with fish and sweet plantain, this meal was looking and tasting good.
After two courses with fish, we met with Pollo Guayaba, which is based on chicken. Beside the chicken, containing arracacha, guayaba and regular-yellow potatoes, this meal is also really delicious and looking perfect. One of the most delicious couples: Chichens enriched by sauce and mashed potatoes
Before desserts, our last course is Quinoa. Quinoa is prepared with plantain and spices, so it fits vegetarians well. Even I'm not a vegetarian, I really found this meal tasty and it is a good alternative to meat and fish courses.
Let's come to the fun and sweet part: Desserts! During this lunch we had two types of desserts: Passion Fruit Dessert and Choco with Coconut. I have to say that even I'm a chocoholic, I started with the non-chocolate dessert. Choco with Coconut was really great and I can say that it really satisfies the chocoholics. But I want to make an emphasis on this Passion Fruit dessert.
This special dessert is made out of the peels of Passion Fruit. Well, you read it right, the peel of the fruit. Peels being cooked with a special technique are served with ice-cream, pink pepper and passion fruit jam. The best way to put a dot to such amazing lunch is to have such an amazing dessert like Passion Fruit dessert. It should be a must-have on your list of Platillos Voladores Restaurant.
When we finished with our lunch accompanied by a light-tasted wine, there were good tastes left on our minds and taste buds. By this lunch opportunity I fully understood that a good restaurant can be managed by an expert chef. If you visit Cali and have a nice meal, Platillos Voladores Restaurant is truly yours.

It's starting to look like everybody is strenuously opposed to Sinclair Media's impending takeover of Tribune Media properties including Memphis' own WREG. Well, everybody except the FCC. Last week, the conservative media company NewsMax weighed in against the $3.9-billion deal; this week, Dish Network and the American Cable Association (ACA) piled on. The ACA issued a statement saying, "The combination of the two companies would create a broadcasting behemoth with unprecedented control over both the national and local television markets — inflicting tremendous harm to competition and consumers." The Dish Network's complaint took aim at Sinclair's tendency to determine local content at the corporate level, describing the pending Tribune deal as part of "a systematic assault against local content."
Neverending Elvis
Billboard ran a story slugged "40 Years After His Death, Elvis Presley's Jeweler [Lowell Hayes] Reveals Untold Stories of the King." In a key passage, Hayes talks about Christmas Eve 1969, when Elvis escorted him into a stall in the men's room of the Memphian theater (now Circuit Playhouse) to look at potential gifts for friends and family. The king took his place on the throne and said, according to Hayes, "You can put your briefcase right here on my lap." He bought three rings.
Oregonlive.com ran with the headline, "'Don't you feel him?'1979 Elvis Presley seance drew thousands in Portland, but faked-death theories live on," which documented an attempt by a group of Portlanders to prove Elvis was really dead. Cue Twilight Zone theme music.

In a bid to strengthen bi- lateral relationship with Nigeria, the Canadian High Commission has reduced the waiting period for visa applicants from 60 days to 10 days. A source at the High Commission told said on Thursday in Abuja that the country was now opening up and accommodating more visitors and travellers from across the globe.
``Because of this, a lot of Nigerians are sending their children to study in Canada and this has led to a backlog in the number of visa applications. This informed the mission's decision to reduce the waiting period from 60 days to 10 days,'' the source added.
Diplomatic sources said on Thursday that the Canadian government took the decision following persistent complaints by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Olugbenga Ashiru and the leadership of the National Assembly.
Ashiru, at various meetings with Heads of Diplomatic missions assured them of the readiness of Nigeria's diplomatic missions to undertake reciprocal treatment in the issuance of visas.
``Where visas are delivered promptly within three to five days, we shall reciprocate and where there is delay, we shall apply the same measure,'' he told them.
