Mandil Verde
Mandil Verde is a local "pozolería," or Mexican restaurant specializing in pozole, a dish widely served throughout Acapulco, especially on Thursdays. It is a chicken or pork stew (or sometimes with fish or shell fish) and pearl hominy, accompanied by garnishes and sauces. El Mandil Verde also offers several other traditional Mexican dishes on its menu, like filete tampiqueña and enchiladas, all served with liberal portions of frijoles and rice. The totpos (deep fried tortilla chips) with guacamole are a staple for the beer and cocktail crowd. The décor is authentic and uncomplicated, but bright and pleasant. The service is attentive. Because the prices are so reasonable, El Mandil Verde is a frequent stopping place for the well-informed tourists and locals (mainly during the off season).

Oral Cancer
Oral Cancer Screening in San Antonio
You absolutely need to get checked for oral cancer symptoms; fortunately, Wurzbach Parkway Family Dental offers oral cancer screening procedures and oncology in San Antonio so you can do precisely that.
In 2010, an estimated 37,000 people were diagnosed with oral cancer. Though this horrible disease can be fatal, when found in the early stages of development, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. But, the majority of cases are found later on and result in a high death rate of 45 percent at five years from diagnosis.
Contact Wurzbach Parkway Family Dental to set up an appointment for your next oral cancer screening.
Learn More About Oral Cancer
As we mentioned, if oral cancer goes unchecked, it can end up being incredibly detrimental to your health as a whole. As such, it's easy to believe that it may be difficult to catch; after all, most go a long time without realizing they've contracted the disease. In reality, however, Oral cancer symptoms are easy to spot, and at Wurzbach Parkway Family Dental and oncology in San Antonio, we can make sure those symptoms are spotted early on enough for treatment.
Symptoms of oral cancer include:
- Pain, tenderness, or numbness anywhere in the mouth or lips
- Problems wearing dentures
- Lump on your neck
- Color change of oral tissue
- Earache
- Tiny, white or red spots or sores anywhere in the mouth
- A sore that won't heal in your mouth
- Mouth bleeding
- Loose teeth
- Difficulty when swallowing
Regular check-ups of the mouth are important to detect cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions. The dentist will inspect the entire mouth and tongue for small, white or red spots or sores. Harmful spots can look the same as those that are not harmless. To determine if a spot is harmful during an oral cancer screening, the dentist will use a brush test to collect cells. These are sent to a lab for further analysis.
Like many other cancers, oral cancer is treated in three primary ways: radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and oral surgery. Here is a quick breakdown of what you can expect from each:
Surgery: This is the most common treatment for those with oral cancer. If the cancer has spread or if your physician fears that it might, the lymph nodes in the neck may also be removed.
Radiation therapy: The use of high-energy rays to damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. It only affects the cells in the treated area. If the tumors are larger, surgery and radiation therapy will be needed.
Chemotherapy: the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. The treatment is usually used in combination with radiation therapy and surgery for extensive cancers.
Each of these procedures can be taxing, but fortunately, if you are in need of oncology or oral surgeon, we can help set you up with the best oral surgeons in San Antonio.
- Don't smoke or use tobacco products.
- Only drink alcohol in moderation.
- If you are exposed to the sun, protect yourself with sunscreen and lip balm.
- Don't wear ill-fitting dentures that may cause oral irritation.
- Eat a balanced diet and make sure you get all the vitamins you need.
Just remember: Your chances are increased for developing oral cancer if you use tobacco, alcohol, and those who smoke and drink simultaneously increase their risk of cancer dramatically. Also, sun exposure can lead to lip cancer, and those who have had head and neck cancer have a higher risk of developing oral cancer. Knowing that, it's important you live healthily and get consistent checkups if you do not. Keep this in mind when determining whether or not you need an oral cancer screening from our oncology specialist in San Antonio.

7 Precautions You Must Take Before Attending Sports Cars Auction | sports cars auction
In amidst a abiding of appropriate Ferraris](https://www.autoclassics.com/posts?make=ferrari) lie a baddest few stallions of _La Scuderia_'s best historically cogent cars. Prototypes for Maranello's sports cars are abnormally valued, so it's little abruptness that the sole 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB prototype, which competed in the 1964 Assemblage Monte-Carlo to prove its credentials, is actuality offered up at $6-8 actor (£4.75m – £6.3m, €5.3m – €7m) [by Gooding & Co for its Scottsdale bargain abutting January.
Image Source: ytimg.com
* Ex-Fangio Ferrari 290 MM fetches $22 actor at auction* 1962 ex-Phil Hill Ferrari 250 GTO sells for apple almanac $48.4m!* Scaglietti-bodied Ferraris accessible to buy in our classifieds
Thanks to its Pininfarina-designed, Scaglietti-built bodywork and Colombo V12 engine, the 275 is a standout archetypal from Ferrari's advantageous sports car antagonism days, auspiciously demography on the unenviable assignment of afterwards the 250 – the ultimate adage in archetypal Ferrari.
Chassis 06003 acted as a analysis bed for the 275 GTB's connected development – 06001 was a ancestor for the open-top GTS alternative – featuring several beginning apparatus that would afterwards alteration to the alley car. Aboriginal and foremost of these was the five-speed chiral transaxle, the aboriginal time a transaxle had featured on a road-going assembly Ferrari instead of actuality belted to its pure-bred racers.
These days, prototypes are buried in secrecy, activated in actualization and, in the case of high-end sports cars with antagonism DNA, put through their paces during clandestine testing canicule on antagonism circuits. Ferrari went so far as to body its own proving ground, Circuito di Fiorano (known artlessly as 'Fiorano' to you and me), which opened in 1972. But with the 275 GTB prototype's advancing of age occurring about a decade earlier, it had a abundant added accessible testing of its abilities.
Keen to advance its ancestor to the limit, Ferrari's again antagonism administrator Eugenio Dragoni called the toughest proving arena of all for 275 GTB 06003 – the Assemblage Monte-Carlo. Still accepted today as one of the trickiest, best betraying circuit of the Apple Assemblage Championship, there was no bigger abode to analysis its capabilities to the extreme.
In alertness for its assemblage debut, 06003 was able with abetting atom lamps, able glass, a locking differential, adapted hood, additional an added windshield wiper and a passenger-door mirror for the Monte's daunting, icy, and sometimes aphotic passes. Spectators would attempt to absence it, though, beaming in a new covering of Giallo Prototipo paint.
Giorgio Pianta was called as the advantageous disciplinarian to pilot 06003 on its one and alone aggressive actualization in 1966. Admitting not one of rally's big names, he was a alive brace of hands, accepting been one of Lancia's branch European Assemblage Championship drivers the year before.
Alas, Assemblage Monte-Carlo lived up to its alarming acceptability and got the bigger of Ferrari's 275 GTB analysis mule, with Pianta retiring. He didn't assume decidedly agitated by his DNF, though, accustomed he afterwards declared his adornment with the 275 GTB as "the best admirable anamnesis of my life" in _Ferrari World_ magazine.
Still in agnate blueprint to its 1966 Assemblage Monte-Carlo appearance, this 275 GTB ancestor has been buried abroad in a clandestine accumulating for the aftermost 25 years but has assuredly re-emerged to be auctioned in Scottsdale abutting month.
Unsurprisingly for such a momentous agent in Ferrari history, it doesn't appear cheap, with an appraisal bargain amount of $6-8 actor (£4.75m – £6.3m, €5.3m – €7m). It'll cantankerous Gooding & Co's bargain block on January 18-19 abutting year at its Scottsdale sale, added than 50 years afterwards it beyond the alpha access in Monte-Carlo.

If the budget, tools and environment aren't the right ones when facing a new project, get creative. To design Casa No Muro, Martial Marquet and France-based studio Saperlipopette Les Architectes teamed up with the clients, local craftsmen and the neighbours and the result is a dream-worthy treehouse that blends ingenuity and creativity.
It all began with a promise. The clients' children asked their parents for a treehouse, but unfortunately the only tree overhanging the garden was on the neighbouring land. To answer the children request to build the dreamed cabin, the architects chose to perch the treehouse on the concrete fence-wall along the edge of the garden after noticing the omnipresence of the wall and its role as the limit of the kids' playground.
Built from locally sourced pine wood, Casa No Muro rises off from the ground, siting among the leaves and maintaining the feeling of being in a floating space, like a real treehouse. The structure of the cabin is split in four distinct sections, each with a different intended use but linked to each other by a common large footpath stretched over the wall.
The architects decided to have minimal intervention on the interior of Casa No Muro to let the children feel free to appropriate the space by themselves
Casa No Muro is accessible using a ladder, giving occupants the impression of climbing as they ascend into the first section of the rampart-like construction. Arbre, as the first segment is named, is followed by a short walkway that leads to Cabane, the house-like section of Casa No Muro, clad in pinewood boards that let the light get in but preserves enough intimacy for the kids to play. Cabane can be opened up by pushing up on the roof with the help of pneumatic jacks, making the treehouse even more playful.
Exiting the cabin, a walkway named Passerelle leads to Belvedere, a large height platform that looks out over the surrounding landscape of oaks and pine trees.
Spaced along the length of Casa No Muro, V-shaped elements hold up the catwalk above. Fishing nets are attached to the structure in order to keep the children safe.

The Bosnia war started tragically with the siege of the capital, Sarajevo, in 1992. The takeover lasted longer than any siege of a capital city in modern European history. The growing nationalism among the 6 republics of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia sparked hostilities, and in 1991, Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia declared their independence.

Our bodies react differently to extreme heat depending on how much humidity is in the air. Heat index is a measure of how hot it feels outside, taking into account both air temperature and relative humidity. As the humidity rises, the heat index rises. In dry heat, our sweat quickly evaporates, which helps lower our internal temperature; but on a humid day, our sweat cannot fully evaporate as the air is already damp, and this prevents us from effectively cooling off. It also raises our risk of heat stroke and even death. To illustrate the science, this podcast considers the case of a man who was lost for three weeks in a remote desert in southern Utah and survived. Listen to hear more about dry versus wet heat and how it affects the human body.Read More
Scientists are using computer computations to link cases of extreme weather to global warming. Scientists set out to link major flooding in England and Wales in the fall of 2000 to climate change. This task was undertaken by scientists and citizens alike - running thousands of computer simulations and comparing the result in a world with climate change and one without it. Listen to learn what these simulations found.Read More

Since World War II, fast food has been central to American food culture. Hamburgers and fries have come to be at the very center of many Americans' diets. But fast food changed the way we raise and process beef and grow potatoes. It's also added to the problem of obesity. The growth in fast food culture over the past fifty years has changed many fundamental things about culture, health, and the economy. Listen to hear how fast food has affected life in America by listening to this interview with the author of the book "Fast Food Nation".Read More
The Great Depression of 1932 was the worst economic crisis in American history. President Herbert Hoover was blamed for the government's failure to pull America out of the depression. During his campaign for president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed a "New Deal" for America. He knew little at the time of what that New Deal would include, but the term would come to define his response to the Great Depression.

The abolition of slavery in the United States didn't happen all at once. Vermont was the first state to abolish slavery, in 1777, and most Northern States followed suit. This meant that escaped slaves could come North and rebuild their lives as free men and women. From the Underground Railroad, to even mailing yourself in a box, slaves found ways to escape their circumstances and come North. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act changed all that. Why was this Act approved and what was its result? Listen to learn more about escaping slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.Read More

Animal species evolve and adapt over time. This ability to change lays the groundwork for human evolution. Over 375 million years ago an important transition in this lineage occurred - animals living in the sea, began living on land. This complex process happened gradually over generations and an unusual fish fossil found in the Canadian Arctic may help enhance our understanding of this progression.Read More
Marine biologists are studying the sounds that fish make. They believe that sounds are vital to understanding fish behavior. By studying the sounds that fish make when trying to attract mates and when breeding, biologists may be able to stay clear of them during those times to help them reproduce more productively.

In fact, cats can be dropped upside down and still land on their feet, every time. But, how do they do this? It seems to defy the laws of physics. The answer has to do with momentum, and is explained by an expert. Listen to hear about how cats achieve this amazing feat.Read More
Our food supply is considered safe today thanks in large part to a movement to improve safety following the publication of the novel in 1906, "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.

Bound: An outdoor game
Many years ago, I was on holiday at the seaside and, being an eleven-year-old boy, I was desperate to play some sort of outdoor game. I only had a tennis ball, and so I needed a game that two people could play with only a ball, a flat surface and some marked lines on the ground (ideal for the hard sand of a beach). After some intense cogitation, I thought up the game Bound. I persuaded my family to play it and it worked very well, with lots of fun being had by all.
Rather than let the game disappear into the nebulous mists of time, I thought it would be good to post a full description of the game so that other people can play it and hopefully enjoy it too.
Game Setup:
I've had to guess the dimensions of the court from memory, but I think they're roughly right. Anyone who plays the game can always fine-tune these dimensions. Changing the dimensions will affect how the game plays, and shift the importance from accuracy to athleticism and vice-versa.
Players stand in the field. They cannot step out of this area during play. Players toss a coin to see who starts. One player then throws the ball so that it hits the central island and rebounds over the moat and into the field, an action known as a 'bound'.
If the ball lands in the field, or the opponent touches the ball but fails to hold on to it and the ball falls to the ground anywhere, the thrower wins a point. The opponent then has their turn.
If the opponent successfully catches the ball, they then 'bound' the ball back, again trying to bounce the ball off the island, over the moat and into the field. They cannot step out of the field at any time during play and there can only be a delay of a maximum of four seconds between catching the ball and throwing it back.
Games are first to fifteen points, unless it's 14-14, in which case players must keep playing until someone is ahead by two points. Matches can be best of three games or higher if the players are feeling particularly fit and enthusiastic.
As my family and I played the game, certain moves became popular.
The Skip: Crouch down quickly and throw the ball fast at the island from a low angle, aiming to 'skip' on the island and touch the field just inside in the inner boundary.
The Lob: Get close to the inner boundary of the field and throw the ball on the island hard so it bounces completely over the head of the opponent and lands just inside the field's outer boundary.
The Underarm: Throw at the island underarm, causing the ball to bounce up higher than expected and hopefully make the opponent drop the ball.
The Roll-Throw: When making a running catch, follow through with a forward roll, then throw the ball fast into a part of the field beyond the opponent's reach, before they can change their position.
The Triangle: Pretend to throw at the island with one hand, but instead throw to your other hand and then throw the ball in a very different direction. Players with two good throwing hands can do very well with this move.
The Cartwheel: After a low catch, cartwheel with one or both hands around the inner part of the field and bound the ball back. Flashy and prone to disaster!
The Spin: All sorts of variations on this, but basically put spin on the ball and, even better, disguised spin, to make the ball hard to catch.
The Dummy-Overhead: Fake an overhead but throw short.
The Charge: If a player's been moved to the back of the field by an Overhead bound, they can run in (partly to throw before running out of time) and throw; intimidating and ideal for a dummy throw.
The Body-Shot: Bound the ball directly at the opponent with the aim of the ball hitting them and falling to the ground, thus winning the point. This is usually a very fast throw. It is risky; if the opponent dodges successfully, the ball invariably travels too far and lands outside the field.
Doubles version:
The doubles version of Bound (two versus two) is the same as the singles version, with the extra rule that if a player successfully catches a ball, they can throw it once to their partner who then must 'bound' the ball back to the opponents. The four-second maximum time gap between catching the opponent's bound and throwing at the island still applies. This can be a very fast and intense game.
That's about it; Bound is a very simple game but my family had a lot of fun playing it. It's athletic, low-impact and gives lots of opportunities for clever, skilled play. It's also a cheap game to play as you only need a ball. I used a tennis ball when I played it with my family back in the early eighties but any ball with a medium amount of bounce should do.
Ideally, a Bound court would have a hard island but a field with a rubber surface such as the ones installed in modern playgrounds, so that the players can throw themselves around more. Also, the moat would be sunk and the island be given a curved outer edge, enabling some interesting 'edge' shots, but those are just fancy extras; the game is perfectly suited to damp sand, or even concrete if the players wear a bit of padding.
If anyone plays Bound, I'd be very interested to hear how you get on. If you're happy to give feedback, please do let me know, via the contact form, what you thought of it, what changes you decided to make after playing it, any new moves you developed and maybe even a few links to some photos! I'll post all relevant feedback on my blog. Have fun!

Four men, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, Nabil al-Marabh, Raed Hijazi, and Bassam Kanj, meet each other in an Afghanistan training camp. All four of them take part in fighting against the Soviets. This is according to testimony by Elzahabi in 2004 (see April 16, 2004-June 25, 2004). Elzahabi will claim that while there, he met Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, later famous for allegedly attacking US soldiers in Iraq, and al-Qaeda leaders Abu Zubaida and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. This appears to be the genesis of a Boston al-Qaeda sleeper cell that will play vital roles in 9/11 and other al-Qaeda plots. The four men go their separate ways in subsequent years, but by 1998 all of them will be working as taxi drivers in Boston (see June 1995-Early 1999). [Boston Globe, 6/27/2004]

Nabil al-Marabh returned to Canada from Afghanistan in February 1994 using a fraudulent Saudi Arabian passport. But his request for asylum was eventually denied. He then enters the US in June 1995 and applies for asylum there. That too is denied, and he is ordered deported in 1997. But the order is not enforced and he continues to live in the US and Canada illegally until 9/11. [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 10/22/2001; Knight Ridder, 5/23/2003] Al-Marabh moves to Boston and gets a job as a taxi driver. He had known al-Qaeda operatives Bassam Kanj, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, and Raed Hijazi in training camps in Afghanistan (see Late 1980s; 1989-1994), and this group of four regathers in Boston. Kanj has been there since 1995, driving taxis at the same company that hires al-Marabh. Elzahabi moves to Boston from New York City in 1997 and also gets a job at this same taxi company. There are conflicting accounts as to who brings Raed Hijazi to Boston and why he goes there, but by the beginning of 1998 he is also working for this taxi company. [Boston Globe, 2/5/2001; New York Times, 9/18/2001; New York Times, 10/14/2001; Washington Post, 9/4/2002] Al-Marabh and Hijazi are roommates for at least two months. While they work together driving taxis, Hijazi is saving his earnings to spend on bomb plots and is working on an al-Qaeda plot to attack a US warship. That plot will develop into the attack on the USS Cole in 2000. [ABC News 7 (Chicago), 1/31/2002; Washington Post, 9/4/2002] Around the end of 1998, Kanj and Hijazi leave Boston to work on al-Qaeda plots overseas while Elzahabi leaves in 1999 to fight as a sniper in Chechnya. Al-Marabh will also leave, moving to Florida in early 1999 (see February 1999-February 2000), but he periodically returns to his Boston residence for some time, as his wife and son continue to live there. These four men will continue to help each other in various al-Qaeda plots. [Boston Globe, 2/5/2001; Boston Globe, 6/26/2004] Apparently, al-Qaeda recruiter Kamal Derwish also works at the same Boston taxi company, though the timing is not clear. He trained in Afghanistan in 1992, a time when al-Marabh was also there. He will be killed by a US missile strike in November 2002 (see November 3, 2002). [Christian Science Monitor, 5/23/2003] Even though the Boston FBI is aware long before 9/11 that at least four of the men are connected to al-Qaeda (see January 2001), the FBI will officially deny the possibility of any al-Qaeda cell in Boston until 2004 (see June 27, 2004).

In 1997, Canadian intelligence begins investigating Abdullah Almalki, a Canadian exporter originally from Syria. Almalki is working with Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi and Abdelrahman Elzahabi, who are brothers and business partners, to send electronic equipment to Pakistan. Around 1995, the three of them sent large numbers of portable field radios to Pakistan. Apparently, some of them are used by Taliban and al-Qaeda forces (the US will later recover many field radios of the same make and model in Afghanistan after 9/11). However, there is no law against exporting the radios, and investigators are unable to prove any crime was committed. Abdelrahman is working in New York City as a mechanic while Mohamad Kamal is working in Boston as a taxi driver. Three other taxi drivers at the same company are al-Qaeda operatives who knew each other and Mohamad Kamal in Afghanistan (see Late 1980s and June 1995-Early 1999), and he will later admit to being a sniper instructor at the Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan in the early 1990s. The FBI in Boston begins investigating him in 1999, but fails to prove he is a terrorist. They lose track of him when he leaves the US later that year to fight the Russians in Chechnya. The FBI later discovers him driving trucks in Minnesota and arrests him for lying to federal agents about his knowledge of the field radios (see Mid-August 2001). [Globe and Mail, 3/17/2007] It seems probable that the investigation of Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi strengthens suspicions about a Boston al-Qaeda cell. One of his associates at the taxi company, Raed Hijazi, works as an FBI informant starting in 1997 (see Early 1997-Late 1998]), and another, Nabil al-Marabh, is questioned by the FBI in 1999 (see April 1999-August 1999). Almalki is later arrested in Syria while visiting relatives there and severely tortured before eventually being released and returned to Canada (see September 19 or 20, 2003).

Nabil al-Marabh will claim in a 2002 statement that in May 1999, the FBI approaches him in Boston, looking for Raed Hijazi. Al-Marabh will say he lied and said he did not know Hijazi, even though he knew him well. Hijazi apparently has not been involved in any violent crime yet, but will participate in a failed attempt to bomb a hotel in Jordan (see November 30, 1999) and will help plan the USS Cole bombing in October 2000 (see October 12, 2000). [Washington Post, 9/4/2002] In August 1999 FBI agents again visit al-Marabh's Boston apartment to ask him about another man. Al-Marabh's wife will later recall that the first name of this man is Ahmed. [New York Times, 10/14/2001] He is from Jordan and had lived in their apartment for two months. [New York Times, 9/21/2001] Around the same time, the Boston FBI is looking for another associate of al-Marabh's, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi (see 1997 and 1999). They work at the same taxi company and fought together in Afghanistan.

Bassam Kanj.
[Source: FBI]Bassam Kanj is killed in a battle in Lebanon. Kanj lived on and off in Boston for nearly 15 years, and was a friend of al-Qaeda operatives Nabil al-Marabh, Raed Hijazi, and Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi. All four of them fought together in Afghanistan in the late 1980s (see Late 1980s), then worked at the same Boston taxi company in the 1990s (see June 1995-Early 1999). In late 1998, Kanj left Boston for Lebanon where he apparently recruited a couple hundred people to take part in a rebellion to overthrow the Lebanese government. He is killed during a five day battle, along with 21 others. Two days after the battle, a Lebanese newspaper identifies him as an al-Qaeda operative who had received financial support from bin Laden. This leads to a renewed focus on him in the US. In February 2001, the Boston Globe will report, "The FBI is continuing to look at Kanj's and Hijazi's activities in the Boston area in hopes of learning more about their contacts inside bin Laden's far-flung organization." Michael Rolince, chief of international terrorism operations for the FBI, will tell the Globe that both men had a "higher station" than most in al-Qaeda, and will add, "We are still trying to sort out who played what role." [Boston Globe, 2/5/2001] Presumably, this leads the FBI to take another look at Nabil al-Marabh, who had been roommates with both Hijazi and Kanj and is already wanted for a variety of al-Qaeda contacts. An individual matching al-Marabh's description is even mentioned in a prominent New York Times story about al-Qaeda in January 2001. The article states, "In early 1997, Hijazi moved to Boston, where he had a friend from his years in Afghanistan." [New York Times, 1/15/2001] Yet apparently there is no concerted effort to find al-Marabh, who will even be set free after being arrested trying to illegally enter the US (see June 27, 2001-July 11, 2001). The Boston FBI began investigating Elzahabi for militant ties in 1999, but lost track of him when he went to fight in Chechnya (see 1997 and 1999). But apparently he is not detected reentering the US shortly before 9/11 (see Mid-August 2001).

Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi moves to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Elzahabi has a long association with al-Qaeda, and has just returned from Chechnya where he fought as a sniper (see April 16, 2004-June 25, 2004). His "name was known to the FBI well before the Sept. 11 attacks, according to law enforcement officials who declined to be identified. He also was on a list of possible or suspected terrorists" circulated to foreign airlines and banks shortly after 9/11. [Fox News, 6/26/2004; Star-Tribune (Minneapolis), 6/30/2004] In fact, Canadian intelligence began investigating him for suspected militant ties in 1997, and the Boston FBI began investigating him in 1999, but lost track of him when he left the US later that year (see 1997 and 1999). He was connected to al-Qaeda operatives Raed Hijazi, Nabil al-Marabh, and Bassam Kanj. He worked as a Boston taxi driver with them (see June 1995-Early 1999), and also fought with them in Afghanistan (see Late 1980s). Fox News will later note that Elzahabi has a "potential link to Zacarias Moussaoui" since Moussaoui moved to Minneapolis in early August 2001 and is arrested on August 15, but no firm connection between the two has been shown. It has not been reported exactly when Elzahabi arrives in Minneapolis, but he applies for a commercial driver's license on August 23, 2001. He is fingerprinted for a criminal background check at that time, which presumably would alert the FBI that he is living in Minneapolis if they do not know already. But it is not known if Minneapolis FBI agents, desperately trying to get a warrant for Moussaoui, are told about Elzahabi before 9/11. In January 2002, the FBI will run his name through a database. Despite the FBI's knowledge of his al-Qaeda ties, he is cleared to get the license. This allows him to haul hazardous materials. His friend and al-Qaeda operative Nabil al-Marabh received a similar license the year before (see August 2000-January 2001). Elzahabi will apply for a license allowing him to carry general freight in September 2003 and he will get insurance clearance to start work in April 2004. However, he will be arrested by FBI that same month (see April 16, 2004-June 25, 2004). [Fox News, 6/26/2004; Star-Tribune (Minneapolis), 6/30/2004]

Abdullah Almalki. [Source: Tom Hanson / Canadian Press]A month after his transfer to the Sednaya prison in Syria (see August 19, 2003), Maher Arar meets another prisoner he recognizes as Abdullah Almalki, the man he was questioned about a year before (see September 26, 2002) in New York. "His head was shaved, and he was very, very thin and pale. He was very weak." Almalki is in far worse shape than Arar. "He told me he had also been at the Palestine Branch, and that he had also been in a grave like I had been except he had been in it longer. He told me he had been severely tortured with the tire, and the cable. He was also hanged upside down. He was tortured much worse than me. He had also been tortured when he was brought to Sednaya, so that was only two weeks before." [CBC News, 11/26/2004]

Cable mum on starting QB
A day after JaMarcus Russell threw the game-winning touchdown pass with 35 seconds left at Denver, coach Tom Cable said he would wait until Wednesday to announce his starting quarterback for this week's game in Cleveland.
Bruce Gradkowski would get the nod if he has recovered from his two sprained knees, and Charlie Frye would be next up assuming he gets over the concussion that knocked him out Sunday.
Cable didn't exactly gush when asked if Russell's game-winning drive proved that he can still be the quarterback to lead the Raiders in the future.
"There were some things in that game yesterday that he could have taken advantage of, before that last throw, or the last couple of throws and all that, would have really put that, in my mind, to make that kind of statement," Cable said.
"He made the ones that counted right there at the end to get it done. And that's a big deal for him personally. I think it's good for his teammates to see him go in there in that situation and get it done when it really had to get done."
Frye went down early in the fourth quarter when his head hit the turf after a hit by Denver linebacker Andra Davis.
Miller's return: Tight end Zach Miller hopes to return this week from his second concussion of the season.

Mirrored Vanity Dresser Decorations – A mirrored dresser a mirror or mirror like material is on the front, or perhaps over a proper basis for a vanity.

With your mirrored vanity dresser as anchor is the creation of your vanity about space and equipment planning and the piece de resistance the mood setting.
Measure your mirrored vanity dresser, and choose a location as close as possible to natural light during the time of day you mostly ready, especially for makeup. Next, evaluate electrical outlets for hair dryers, and mood or improved lighting. Choose your seat. Since your agency is not likely to have an opening for a chair to tuck in under it when not in use, choosing instead to a bench.

Background Generatepress Content Over Header
Over the previous ten decades, I've used a great deal of different WordPress themes and have been really disappointed. Up till recently, I was utilizing MyThemeShop, which was fairly excellent. But I had to do a lot of customization to allow it to do and work the way I wanted it to. A couple weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it's by far the best WordPress theme I have found in a decade . I was dismissed and am now moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I'll go into exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review under. And if you are wondering, yes I have tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi as well as many other lightweight and thicker multi-purpose themes. Generatepress Content Over Header
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme created by Tom Usborne, a programmer from Canada. I've actually seen it for years in the WordPress repository. Most of you realize that I am pretty picky when it comes to web performance, and so I tend to ignore everything in the repository. Typically because a lot of stuff on there is not that great, or not encouraged for long. Nonetheless, in this case, this was a mistake. The theme now has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ active installs, with over 500 5-star evaluations. So clearly Tom is doing some thing right here.
I Really set up the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes purchased the premium version. I could tell right off the bat, the developer was thinking precisely how I was envisioning a theme should get the job done. And I will go into that more below, but let's first look at a number of the qualities. I will be covering the superior version of the subject, since it's worth . In fact, Tom, in the event that you ever read this and are visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, coffees on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you do not need running. This is only one of the biggest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all devices.
Schema built-in, for better outcomes in SERPs.
Dramatic integration with all the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a lover of this customizer in the past, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Fantastic browser service back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with all the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these are a great combo. I've also read that people using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Resumes prepared.
Font awesome built-in.
A lot of hooks and filters which make it good for programmers.
Excellent active service from the developer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation is also incredible. Besides have good documentation on their website, the theme has existed long enough that everything I Googled during the setup procedure was found inside a couple of seconds from their forum.
Going Deep Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time for the fun part! I always test a brand new theme right from the box without any customizations to just see how quickly the foundation is. This tells me a great deal of what I could expect by the time that I add everything for this. Running the inventory GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms loading time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was concerned about with GeneratePress was that the modular layout was going to produce a lot of big files, but this is not the case. You can tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring that every record loaded in GeneratePress is as small as possible. With HTTP/2, the amount of files is not as significant. However, the size is! Take a peek at a few of the center GeneratePress files below:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a programmer that cares about functionality! And I've Seen the same during each the premium add-ons. They are as small as possible get them. In fact, Font Awesome is most likely the biggest file contained. And that isn't even his. With Font Awesome 5 coming round the cornerwe can expect this to get smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are installation in what I'd call a modular design. You can activate/deactivate anything you are not using to guarantee they don't load on your site. As the co-developer of the perfmatters plugin which has a script supervisor built, I felt at home for this. Everything ought to be designed this way.
If You are interested, I am using the following add-ons on this site:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best characteristics of GeneratePress is that I no longer have to use a young child theme. This makes my life so much easier. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress theme this exact moment and not shed one customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make it possible. It allows you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress website. Generatepress Content Over Header
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On each Page/post that you have a lot of options. You can change the sidebar layout and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page involving the default to a full width page, as well as disable components.
The WordPress customizer options is really where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, lots of these choices are enabled from the premium add-ons. I can't show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here all day. But let me show you few which really come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly suggest grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this is also made by precisely the exact same developer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super easy way to add responsive columns into any page or post. Features include:
Desktop grid width
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Add custom courses
Insert custom inline styles
Equal height columns
Here is An example below:
You May Want to Also catch his incredible WP Display Posts plugin too. See my featured posts on the sidebar of this website? That is using the WP Display Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a specific"featured" category. You can also get it show past modified/updated posts, recent posts, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works great.
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Segments add-in in the premium edition of GeneratePress allows you to do all kinds of things concerning design. Consider it like a webpage builder with no bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not just for blogs! I'm in reality using GeneratePress to our ecommerce website (perfmatters.io) which is running Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to check it out. But as you can see below, it looks like a blog.
Speed Tests
For those Of you who are regular readers, you probably didn't even notice that I changed the entire motif that powers woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif that I had spent annually customizing. Here is a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop motif was already pretty fast, but I invested a lot of time customizing it. In fact, I have gotten a lot of emails from you guys asking me to publish all of my customizations. My advice today is, just get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
With the New GeneratePress motif I was able to attain faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I do not have a kid theme. Each of the customizations were made using the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have running on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he could create a replica of woorkup for the new GeneratePress site library. I am pleased to let you know that now you can put in my woorkup motif in your own GeneratePress site with just a single click! It's called the Marketer motif. Get started with a fantastic blog layout immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over my private website, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum website, as I do not use it to get much. Since you can see it loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to replicate the whole look 100 percent in GeneratePress in under one hour. And since you can see it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to get rid of a few plugins that weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over our business website, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum website, as we simply use it for our LLC. As you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Generatepress Content Over Header
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to move everything over and get it looking exactly how I needed it in under an hour. And as you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I managed to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page weight 2x!
I can't express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I am moving over all my sites for this (which comprises several EDD e-commerce websites ). Once I've got my 9 sites all running in GP without any child topics, my life will be a breeze! The developer has revived my faith in multi-purpose subjects , which when done the right way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best news is, I finally have a billion more choices to pick from than I did before.
What GeneratePress Is Great For…
GeneratePress Is the perfect option for performance-focused users who want to have the ability to personalize and control precisely how their site looks.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And because GeneratePress has a focus on performance, the site that you build will have a great foundation to make it load fast.
Because Of that, people who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They will typically pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any kind of site.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Fantastic Combination If…
…you Want something which will immediately look perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you know you want to produce a style blog, you might be happier picking out a niche theme that is developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
While GeneratePress has gotten a lot easier to use, thanks to its pre-built Site Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones if you initially install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you would like it to, you'll most likely will need to go in and customize matters. And though the substantial advantage of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, particularly casual users, don't like having to make those changes .
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the particular characteristics that explain why GeneratePress is so popular.
Lots Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Beyond Performance, another area where GeneratePress does nicely is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, which can be convenient as you'll be able to see all of the changes that you create in real time.
The Free version of GeneratePress provides you decent options, but should you own GeneratePress Premium, you will have the ability to customize nearly everything about your website.
For Example, if you go in the Design region, you may configure comprehensive settings for yourown:
- Header — you can move your header round and change its styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, such as sticky menus
- Sidebar layout — you can utilize a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured image dimensions, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like the number of widgets to add
Likewise, That the Typography place enables you to control the font for each and every element on your site, including buttons:
And You also receive a thorough region to control the colour of every single element on your site.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will give you much more customization options in the WordPress Customizer than most other topics. This level of detail may be a bit overwhelming if you are a beginner. But as soon as you realize the way the preferences come together, you'll have full control on how your website looks.
Optimized Performance And Quick Page Load Times
Across All its features, GeneratePress always has a focus on exceptional performance and tidy code. The whole motif is less than 30 kB, which is about as small as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And some badly coded themes can even surpass 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also does not have any code dependencies, which will help you avoid the leave obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Put That together, and you obtain a superfast-loading motif. How fast? To give you an idea, I conducted a small test.
First, I put up a vacant site utilizing a haphazard popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After testing its performance with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance grade of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 requests
That's Not bad at all! But GeneratePress can perform.
Next, I activated GeneratePress on exactly the same test website without changing anything else. Here's how GeneratePress did:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points better
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% fewer
If You do that same test with other themes, you are going to continue to find that GeneratePress is one of the fastest-loading WordPress themes in existence. Generatepress Content Over Header
Other Helpful Premium Extensions, Plus A Modular Approach
Past Giving you more design controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium also comes with a lot of other useful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature which allows you create custom hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a unique page header onto a per-page basis.
- Sections — this is sort of like lightweight page construction. It lets you create different"sections" on a webpage, each with their own layout and column preferences.
To Remain lightweight, GeneratePress also gives you a modular interface where you could select and choose what features you want to activate.
That Way, you don't have to slow your site down for a quality that you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The past, you needed to construct GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas no matter what, which left the motif difficult for casual users to set up.
Earlier In 2018, however, the developer added a new Website Library feature for GeneratePress Premium users which allows you easily import any among those 25+ pre-built demo sites.
You Can import them right from your WordPress dashboard.
Yes this site still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click a couple buttons to import a presentation site.
Page-Level Settings Give You Detailed Control Over Every Bit Of Content
With Most topics, each post and page will use the very same settings for the most part. You may have some custom templates or formats — but you don't have very much control past that.
GeneratePress Changes that by providing you a brand new Design meta box for each and every page and post:
You Can use this meta box to:
- Change the number of sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (like altering the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to use
- Disable certain components, like your header, navigation menu, post featured picture, article title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" to your page builder
Where These controls are the most useful is if you're using a WordPress page builder.
By Disabling certain elements, you are able to create the correct baseline for your page builder layout, making it easy to create custom content as needed. Generatepress Content Over Header
GeneratePress Replies: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Core GeneratePress motif is available at no cost at WordPress.org.
That said, If you're serious about utilizing GeneratePress, I believe you should purchase the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that is what makes the theme so elastic. The free version does not give you nearly as many configurations in the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also lose out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still quite affordable. It costs just $39.95, which gives you use on unlimited websites . You will also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to keep on receiving support and upgrades following the initial year (you can, obviously, keep using GeneratePress after the initial year without renewing — you just won't receive any more upgrades ).
When You consider that the normal premium WordPress theme will often cost around $60, GeneratePress provides a great value.
As I mentioned, I don't believe GeneratePress is for everyone.
If You want a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by purchasing a theme that satisfies your needs for your market from day one.
However, If you are ready to spend time changing preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any sort of WordPress site. Or, you may even have the ability to find a starter website that fits your needs to save some time.
Additionally, It is one of those fastest-loading WordPress themes that you will find. So if you're seeking the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a great choice.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you shouldn't have any difficulty making your site load in under one minute. Generatepress Content Over Header

We've ordered quite a bit of your food and have tried some of it. My family loves the banana chips! Strawberries were fresh like astronaut food! Broccoli wasn't a hit dry, but adding hot water and butter and salt, it ROCKED!! Green beans are ok dry—super fresh-but more likely to go over with the kids once reconstituted. It's reassuring to know we have tasty food should things ever go south. Thank you for all you do!
My review is going to be very short. One word describes it all........ WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!
Guarantee #1: This is a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. If for any reason you're not satisfied with your Fruit, Veggie & Snack Survival Food Kit, just return it within 365 days of purchase and I'll refund 100% of your purchase.
Guarantee #2: This is an unheard of 300% money back guarantee. It's in addition to guarantee #1. If you open any of your Fruit, Veggie & Snack Kit items anytime in the next 25 years and find that your food has spoiled, you can return your entire Fruit, Veggie and Snack Kit and I will triple your money back!
A: No. If it's not in the ingredient list, it's not in there.
A. Your survival food is designed to last 25 years on the shelf. With proper storage, it may be good even longer! You'll have peace of mind knowing that with proper care… your "backup plan" will be delicious for decades.
The secret is in the packaging: first, your food is preserved using a proprietary "low-heat" dehydration process. Then, it's carefully packed in Mylar to protect it from heat, light and moisture.
Storage conditions can impact the shelf life of your food. Your survival food will last longest when in stable, cool temperatures… away from moist air.
So for best results, always protect your food from heat, air and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to temps above 75 degrees F. And keep your food sealed until you're ready to eat it.
A. Unlike some brands, your food is made in an FDA-approved and inspected facility in the United States. All ingredients are prepared and packaged right here in the good ole US of A!
As of 12/07/2019, inventory is available and when you order today you will instantly receive an order confirmation by email. We anticipate being able to ship your order within 1-3 days. Our goal is to get your order out the door to you as quickly as possible!
We will ship your order directly to your home or office using a premium carrier such as UPS and you will have it within 7 to 14 days of shipment. Products are shipped from Utah, USA and we will send you a shipment notification email with tracking number as soon as your order ships so that you can track it right to your door.
We are unable to guarantee today's pricing beyond today. Our pricing often changes due to the constantly changing prices of the high-quality, made-in-the-USA ingredients. Also, the recent attempt by FEMA and DHS to hoard survival food may result in decreased supply throughout the market. To guarantee our lowest pricing, be sure to secure your order today.


text: Cosmetic / Cosmeceutical / Pharmaceutical grade skin care products. What is the Difference?A question often asked: "What is the difference between cosmetic-grade skin care, cosmeceutical-grade skin care (often called "professional-grade"), and pharmaceutical-grade skin care? Which category of products should I spend my money on?" Cosmeceutical-grade products: Often sold by recommendation only by doctors and/or estheticians. Sold in salons, spas and doctors' offices. They don't spend much money in advertising and marketing. Usually not endorsed by celebrities—many times you do not even know the names of the companies that sell these high-quality products.
