My name is Anja. I come from a very small country named Slovenia. There are only about two millions of us living over here in a very picturesque piece of land. The idea behind this blog is to share a mixture of everything because this is how I eat. The recipes here are versatile, there's meat, but there's also a lot of veggies and fruit. You can find a lot of vegetarian and vegan recipes here as well, so there's something for everyone.
My Philosophy
I believe great dishes can be made with basic pantry staples and some fresh seasonal produce.

See the gallery for photos of winter's vegetarian dishes.
This organic, vegetarian cafe with locations in Salem, Lowell, and Boston is known for its bowls and wraps. Each starts with a base of whole grains (choose brown rice or quinoa) and adds a colorful tumble of freshly steamed vegetables and legumes and then a flavor-filled sauce. Among the best combinations: The Adventurer, with sesame-ginger nama shoyu sauce (an unpasteurized Japanese soy sauce); The Swami, with sweet curry-miso sauce; and The Green Goddess, with garlic, avocado, and a ginger nama shoyu. Then there's the Hot & Healthy Bachelor, a wrap with melted cheddar, hard-boiled egg, broccoli, and seasonal dark greens.

You can go around the world, or at least visit several parts of it, in a single meal at the Garden Grille. Green tomatoes are fried with cornmeal and served with basil aioli; quesadillas are stuffed with butternut squash; sweet potatoes are spiced with garam masala and seared; risotto cakes are made with root vegetables. The pizza topped with roasted pear, smoked onion, sage, cheeses, and red wine gastrique is another fall-to-winter winner.

This is where locals from India go for vegetarian (and vegan) home-style Indian food. The menu includes chana bhatura, fried flatbread with chickpea masala; vada pav, buns stuffed with a mashed vegetable cutlet and chutneys, burger style; and pav bhaji, grilled buns with a hot and spicy vegetable hash — all authentic vegetarian street foods. For winter there will be spiced stuffed breads and three new soups: spicy mixed vegetable, cream of tomato, and spinach, all served with grilled cheese sandwiches. Ritu's also offers regular lunch and dinner buffets. On Wednesdays, themed special menus showcase cuisines from different states and parts of India. And the website lists daily specials.

Thanks to a "vegetarianish" owner, every item on Friendly Toast's menu has been created with vegetarians in mind. But everybody comes for the excellent comfort food: eggs Benedict with roasted vegetables, a vegetarian bacon or sausage, and hollandaise sauce that's made fresh each morning, and the Mister Haegar sandwich, grilled cheddar with pickles, horseradish mayonnaise, Dijon, and plum tomatoes on bread baked in-house. Half the menu at the restaurant's two locations is straight-up vegetarian, but 90 percent of the dishes work with substitutes.

If there is any restaurant outside of India where a diner must have the samosa, this is it. The crisp, flaky crust — not at all greasy — is filled with a salty, tangy mix of peas and potatoes. It is served with herbal coriander chutney and sweet-tart tamarind chutney. Try yours dipped into both, or alternate bites. This all-vegetarian restaurant is bringing back a popular special from last winter: sweet, earthy Moroccan tagine with garbanzos, butternut squash, walnuts, apricots, carrots, and celery simmered in a tomato base. Other winter dishes include pumpkin bisque and a beluga lentil and pattypan squash stew.

At this all-vegetarian diner in Central Square, choose from bean or chickpea burgers, baked mac-and-cheese with eggplant and roasted leeks, or the new blue-plate special: tempura-fried locally harvested baby Brussels sprouts, roasted delicata squash puree, and shallot and balsamic vinegar marmalade, all made in-house. Another highlight among the many hearty vegetarian and vegan choices is the entree of cider- and tamari-glazed sweet potato cutlets served with collards sauteed with shallots and chili flakes, and winter-vegetable dirty rice salad.

Besides the substantial chiles rellenos and Mexican lasagna layered with Swiss chard and squash (both are still available from local producers), mushrooms, black beans, and poblanos, there's Legumbres en Pipian Oaxaqueno — a stew of potatoes, carrots, squash, and more, all simmered in pumpkin seed sauce. Chef Erwin Ramos, once a vegetarian himself, recently returned from a trip to Mexico, inspired by new ideas for vegetarian and vegan dishes. On the list for the winter are vegetarian panuchos, a Yucatan dish: A puffy tortilla is stuffed with white-bean spread and topped with nopales, the tender insides of the prickly pear cactus. There are also nopales with caramelized onion, Guajillo chili sauce, and queso fresco and thick bean soup topped with cheese, crema fresca, and tortilla strips.

At this modern, minimalist-styled vegan bistro, begin with the leek tart. Served on a richly textured herbed chickpea crust, it will probably stay on the menu until spring, as leeks are available over the colder months. The blackened seitan entree is served with creamy grits and "melted" collards made with smoked onions and chili vinegar. Hyderabadi stuffed eggplant and phyllo triangles, which are baked then served steaming from the kitchen, are filling winter options, too.

When Ayr Muir opened his first vegetarian food truck on a side street by MIT's medical center in 2008, he was counting on word-of-mouth to bring in customers. The smell of cooking rosemary fries, an early menu hit, emanating from the Clover truck took care of that, and the lines started. The menu is limited, but there are new specials added based on what's available, like a local-turnip soup this fall (squash, mushroom, and spring-dug parsnip soups are on tap for later in the winter and early spring), plus hot popovers and apple cider — a good way to keep warm while waiting at one of the now six trucks for your meal. Or just visit the indoor Clover Labs, sit-down eateries at Harvard and Inman squares.

This small East Coast franchise serves Chinese food with an Indian twist. So the vegetable fried rice, for example, is made with Indian basmati. Spicy tofu stir-fry, baby eggplant in garlic sauce, Manchow soup, and Mumbai gobi (a cauliflower dish that's straight-up Indian) are all hearty choices. Inspired by their successful debut at the company's New York City food trucks, Tibetan vegetable dumplings known as momos and a Tibetan noodle soup are being added to the winter menu. Top it all off with a tangy, foamy soda — either a "Masala Coke" or India's Thums Up — spiced with cumin, mango powder, black salt, asafetida, and mint.

If the future happens first in California, the Republican Party has a problem.
The nation's most populous state — home to 1 in 8 Americans — has entered a period of Democratic political control so far-reaching that the dwindling number of Republicans in the Legislature are in danger of becoming mere spectators at the statehouse.
If the future happens first in California, the Republican Party has a problem.
The nation's most populous state — home to 1 in 8 Americans — has entered a period of Democratic political control so far-reaching that the dwindling number of Republicans in the Legislature are in danger of becoming mere spectators at the statehouse.
Democrats hold the governorship and every other statewide office. They gained even more ground in Tuesday's elections, picking up at least three congressional seats while votes continue to be counted in two other tight races — in one upset, Democrat Raul Ruiz, a Harvard-educated physician who mobilized a district's growing swath of Hispanic voters, pushed out longtime Republican Rep. Mary Bono Mack.
The party also secured a super majority in one, and possibly both, chambers in the Legislature.
"Republican leaders should look at California and shudder," says Steve Schmidt, who managed John McCain's 2008 campaign and anchored former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's re-election team in 2006. "The two-party system has collapsed."
Republican voter registration has dipped so low — less than 30 percent — that the party's future state candidates will be hobbled from the start.
Republicans searching for a new direction after Mitt Romney's defeat will inevitably examine why President Barack Obama rolled up more than 70 percent of the Hispanic and Asian vote, and 9 of 10 votes among blacks, essential ingredients in his victory. Women also supported Obama over Romney nationally and in California, where they broke for the president by 27 percentage points.
There is no better place to witness how demographic shifts have shaped elections than in California, the home turf of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan that just a generation ago was a reliably Republican state in presidential contests.
A surge in immigrants transformed the state, and its voting patterns. The number of Hispanics, blacks and Asians combined has outnumbered whites since 1998 in California, and by 2020 the Hispanic population alone is expected to top that of whites. With Latinos, for example, voter surveys show they've overwhelmingly favored Democratic presidential candidates for decades. Similar shifts are taking place across the nation.
"There are demographic changes in the American electorate that we saw significantly, first, here in California and Republicans nationally are not reacting to them," said Jim Brulte, a former Republican leader in the California Senate.
"Romney overwhelmingly carried the white vote — 20 years ago, that would have meant an electoral landslide. Instead, he lost by 2 million votes" in the state, Brulte said.
Perhaps no part of the state better illustrates how Republicans surrendered ground than in Orange County, once a largely white, GOP bastion where Nixon's seaside home became known as the Western White House.
Today, whites make up a little more than 40 percent of the population, while 2 in 10 residents are Asian and about 1 in 3 is Hispanic, according to the census.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter managed to collect about a quarter of the vote against Reagan in the county. But by 1996, with the county diversifying, Bill Clinton grabbed 38 percent of the vote, and Al Gore boosted that to 40 percent in 2000. This year, Obama won 44 percent of the vote in Orange County, according to preliminary returns.
Romney "implemented a winning election strategy for 1980," University of Southern California professor Patrick James said in a statement issued by the school. "If you look at the demographics and voting proportions, the Reagan coalition would not win a majority today."
Celeste Greig, president of the conservative California Republican Assembly, said in an email to supporters Friday that the party was in need of a makeover, emphasizing Main Street over Wall Street.
"We have to admit that as a party in California, we're just plain disorganized," she wrote.
Romney bypassed California this year, waging his fight in battlegrounds such as Ohio and Florida. In claiming the biggest electoral prize in America, California's 55 electoral votes, Obama rolled up a nearly 21 percent margin. Voters also returned Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein to Washington in a landslide, after Republicans put up a virtually unknown candidate, Elizabeth Emken, an autism activist who had never held elected office.
Independents now outnumber Republicans in 13 congressional districts in California, a trend analysts predict will continue.
California counted more registered Republicans in 1988 than it does today, although the population has grown by about 10 million over that time. You'd have to go back to that year to find a Republican presidential candidate who carried the state, George H.W. Bush.
Surprisingly, Democrats continued to make gains in the state even at a time of double-digit unemployment, with polls showing that voters are unhappy with Sacramento and Washington. And it could get worse for the GOP. Republicans are trailing in two other House races in which the vote counting continues.
It remains unclear what direction Democrats, who have close ties to public employee unions, will take with their additional clout. If they achieve the supermajority in both houses of the Legislature, Democrats can pass tax increases and override gubernatorial vetoes without any Republican support.
The state is saddled with a litany of problems, including a long-running budget crisis, massive, unfunded public pension obligations, tuition increases at California universities and growing demands for water, affordable housing and energy.
Gov. Jerry Brown sounded a cautionary note this week, saying he intended to avoid spending binges.
Still, Democrats believe they have the state's demographics on their side with a message that appeals to a younger, more diverse population.
More than half the young voters in the state, ages 18 to 39, are Hispanic, according to the independent Field Poll. Thirty-five percent are Asian. If you look into a classroom in the Los Angeles area — tomorrow's voters — 3 of 4 kids are Hispanic.
The GOP retains pockets of influence regionally, including rural, inland areas.
Republican National Committee member Shawn Steel has been pushing the party to become more aggressive about recruiting Asians.
"It's not just all about the Latinos," he says.
Schmidt traces GOP troubles with Hispanics to 1994, when voters with encouragement from Republican Gov. Pete Wilson enacted Proposition 187, which prohibited illegal immigrants from using health care, education or other social services.
The law eventually was overturned, but it left lingering resentment with many Hispanics at a time when the Latino population was growing swiftly and becoming increasingly important in elections.
California "is not just a large state, population-wise, it's a trend-setting state," said Schmidt, a public relations strategist. "It could be a glimpse of the future."

Aide:Sysop deleting and undeleting
|Important note: When you edit this page, you agree to release your contribution into the public domain. If you don't want this or can't do this because of license restrictions, please don't edit. This page is one of the Public Domain Help Pages, which can be freely copied into fresh wiki installations and/or distributed with MediaWiki software; see Help:Contents for an overview of all pages. See Help:Copying for instructions.
Deleting a page is a straightforward operation for anyone with sysop permissions. Users without such permissions can still remove text from wiki pages, or propose/request that a page should be deleted. See Help:Deleting a page.
Before deleting
Sysops should also be aware of the general advice given on Help:Deleting a page (In particular, note that there are many situations where a deleting is too drastic. Often a redirect is more appropriate for example)
Before deleting you could perform various checks:
- Use the "What links here" tool. This gives an indication as to how important a page is, and what subjects it relates to. Perhaps the page is still linked to prominently from many places. All incoming links will become red links if you proceed with the delete. Ideally all incoming links should be changed/removed, if there is genuinely no need for this page to exist. You could do this work prior to deleting, or ask others in the wiki community to do it.
- Check the page history and the associated talk page. Who was proposing the deletion? Does anyone disagree? Has it been properly discussed? Did people have adequate time to raise objections? Did somebody vandalise a page, which then led to a deletion proposal?
The care taken over these things might depend on the size of the wiki community, and how clear-cut the case for deletion is. Remember that only sysop users can undo a delete action, so to a normal user the information appears to be lost forever.
Use the 'delete' tab
Sysops should see a 'delete' tab at the top of every page. Click this to delete the page. You will be asked to confirm, and to supply a "Reason for deletion". This is a short textual description of why the page is being deleted. Your action will appear on the recent changes display, and in the deletion log (Special:Log).
To undelete a page you must navigate to the exact page name of the page. You can find this in the deletion log (Special:Log) if you dont remember it.
You should then see a link to "View or restore n deleted edits". Tick the box next to the revision you wish to restore.

xTests is a testing library for C and C++. Specifically, it is a small, lightweight, portable, simple unit- and component-test framework suitable for exercising C and C++ libraries. Its primary design features are: - Portability. It relies on no platform-specific or compiler-specific constructs. The only library it relies on is the 100% header-only, open-source STLSoft library. It works with a large number of C/C++ compilers. Importantly, it is sufficiently simple and lightweight that it is bundled with several other open-source libraries, and is an integral part of their automated unit- and component-testing in their builds. - Simplicity. It doesn't require pre-processing of your source code by scripting languages. It doesn't use macros to create secret classes that use Schwarz counters to register test cases. It relies on you to simply code what you want, and nothing that you don't want. xTests is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style license.

Taking a step back a moment, I'd like to mention the start process for the live environment. I like the way Elive boots up. It asks a few simple questions about your system at start up that help things to run smoothly. By asking for resolution, it allows Elive to have a seamless X loading (no black flickering or things of that sort like most distributions). The live system also loaded the appropriate closed source driver for my nVidia card on its own (I know this is a turn off for some FOSS people, but I like to use my hardware to its full extent).
Booting from a flash drive using the live system is smooth and flawless and the UI is easy to use. Located at the bottom of the screen is a dock bar for loading commonly used applications. Just to the right of this is a dock bar for battery, wifi, and audio controls. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, you can switch quickly between your multiple work spaces. (additionally, alt+fX keys switch between each of the twelve desktops).
Located on that handy dock bar is the installer button. Before I go any further, I feel I should mention something that sets Elive apart from many other distributions (and keeps it from making the top ten on DistroWatch IMO). It is, that in order to install Elive on your system you have to acquire an online "installer" module. How does one obtain one of these modules? By making a donation to the project of course.
That is right: You have to pay to install Elive.
It's not a large cost. For a minimum of 15 dollars (USD - payed via paypal) you can receive the installer module. I logged into paypal, sent the funds, and was on my way. Other than a brief system hang at one point in the installer (which only took a moment to recover from) the install went flawlessly. Again, I would just like to mention the unique feel the installer has (like the rest of the system). A particular feature that is kind of small, but worth mentioning, is the descriptions the installer has for each of the file-systems before formatting. Like I said, small feature, but useful, I feel, none the less.
Using the System:
Elive only offers a 32bit image. My system has 4gigs of RAM. As such, one of the first things I do when installing a 32bit distribution on it is obtain a kernel that supports my memory in the 32bit environment. Enter another feature that is unique to Elive (and almost worth the donation all in itself):
Nurse Mode
Equatable to Window's system recovery mode, "Nurse Mode" allows the user to perform a number of recovery/restore options on the system. Among these is a one click install for different system kernels, among which include a "highmem" kernel to allow up to 64gb of RAM on the 32bit operating system.
After a restart, I was quickly loaded into my Elive system. Using enlightenment as a window manager took some getting used to at first, but after a couple of hours I had grown accustomed to it, and I must say, I like how enlightenment handles itself as a whole. There are only two issues I had with Elive. The first was some stability issues (Elive uses a mix of e16 and e17, the latter of which is the testing branch of enlightenment), and the second was purely visual - there was no way I could easily find what appeared in my applications menu (all the guides I found online were for e16 and the files they referenced did not exist on my Elive system). Beyond this, I also experienced this bug, which was rather annoying.
Two final notes about the system. I'm a gamer off and on and I run Steam through CXGames on my Linux system. Under all other window managers I have used thus far, the Steam GUI has this pesky habit of "jumping" from workspace to workspace so it is always visible in your active one (regardless of its settings). Under enlightenment all my Steam windows stayed where I left them. And lastly, while it is an easy fix: by default there are no source repos enabled under Elive. Meaning apt-get build-dep does not work OOTB.
The default software configuration on Elive is strange, to say the least. For starters, there is "demo" software installed on the system. Very "Windows Like" IMO. No open office. Abiword is installed, however I prefer the former of the two. There is no pidgin or multi-messenger client by default, but there is a Linux "amsn messenger". A fun idea is that solitaire is installed by default and it auto-loads it for you to play when you begin the system install.
Lastly, I use Google's Chrome browser on all my systems. Chrome did not play friendly with enlightenment. It did not want to add itself to my application launcher at the bottom of the screen and it had no idea what to do with any of the files it downloaded by default (.deb files didn't open with gdebi and "open containing folder" out-right failed).
Final Thoughts:
Also worth mentioning is that the Elive community as a whole is rather small(which is a shame, it's a wonderful distro). The two threads I posted are still unanswered some three days later, so if you do run into an issue with the system, best of luck finding help solving it!) Had enlightenment been a bit more stable as a window manager Elive would have stayed as the staple distro on my Sager for some time, but as of now my Sager is moving back to Debian Squeeze.
All in all, if you have never personally used the enlightenment window manager, I highly recommend you, at the very least, download the Elive LiveCD and give it a test drive. Once e17 fully matures, Elive will easily be one of the best distros out there.

Christian Drug Rehab Centers in West Virginia
West Virginia Substance abuse and rehabilitative services for Christians: an ongoing ministry to help those in need of drug or alcohol treatment. We understand the need for help in finding the best Christian drug rehab center in West Virginia. All Christian drug rehabilitation centers vary in length, cost and treatment plans. This is why it is important to be as informed as possible when making a decision to enter into a Christian treatment program in West Virginia. Making a decision that will change the rest of your life is crucial when it comes to choosing the right Christian treatment center for an individual's specific needs.
There really is no 'one size fits all' Christian treatment program for addiction, contrary to popular belief. We have found that people can thrive in a Christian outpatient treatment program if they have the proper motivation. Others may need an Inpatient Drug Rehab Center for recovery in West Virginia. There are those that will need to be separated from their addictive environment to feel safe and recover without the temptations of being close to home. Treatment centers that are Christian-based will help you or a loved one rebuild a growing relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ and this foundation is one that will stand the test of trials and tribulations.
Christian drug rehab centers helpline is part of an ongoing ministry to bring people out of the darkness in which they are now living and into the light of their future. Our Christian counselors have all been through their own addictions and really know what it takes to be free from addiction and serving the Lord once again. Christian Drug Rehab Centers in West Virginia may or may not be ideal for the individual in question and if that is the case, we will help you find treatment for addictions in or outside of the state of West Virginia.
Addiction to drugs or alcohol does not discriminate, it doesn't care if you make $10,000 a year or you make hundreds of thousands a year. It affects people from all walks of life and the road ends up in the same place. It usually takes longer for the reality of the addiction to come to pass when you are financially able to facilitate your addiction. Once the adverse effects of addiction come to fruition, it can become harder to hide it from friends and family.

Why Should I Get Help?
Drug and alcohol abuse causes you to do things that you normally wouldn't. The guilt you feel will interfere with not only your life but your spiritual life as well. Today is always a good time to stop using but for most, it will take something bad to happen in order for them to feel the need to make changes in their lives.
- When we feel that we have hit our Rock Bottom it is at this time we feel like we should make some changes.
- When the feeling of emptiness is no longer being filled and forgotten with the use of drugs or alcohol.
- When we get arrested, DUI, Possession, theft, or any other crimes that are fueled by our usage of drugs or alcohol.
- Family pressure or marriage problems arise when we start using drugs or alcohol and this could be s sign that things are escalating.
These are a few examples and we know that there are many more triggers for someone wanting to get help with their addiction. If you have 1 or more of these problems affecting your life please don't hesitate to call our Christian counselors now.
What if the Person does not want help for their addiction?
A good time to hold an intervention is when their world is slowly being taken apart or perhaps they lose their job or are always having money problems. These are all warning signs of something under the surface is going on in their life. You will also see a decline in family and church activities. This is when the family discovers that there is a chance to bring them back before it is too late. Speaking with an intervention provider and specialist can help you learn, at the least, that there is hope.
What to expect in treatment for addiction at a Christian Drug Treatment Center
When entering into a faith-based program for addiction, there is a feeling of relief that will overcome the individual. This relief is brought on by the individual being filled up by the power of the Holy Spirit and the love that Jesus has for us. The counselors will help you feel at home in your new environment and get you started on the path to recovery.
Once the client is unpacked and has taken the tour of the facility, they meet with the intake counselor to go over treatment plans and get all the information regarding the addiction and usage habits.
Treatment plans vary from center to center but usually include counseling sessions, both group and private. Christian counseling and church activities are also available in most treatment centers that are Christian based. Activities and positive outreach programs are also part of most programs. If you are in a work-study type program there is usually 8 hours of work daily with Sundays for rest along with the regular treatment program.
Locating a Faith-Based Treatment Center for Addiction in West Virginia
When searching for a Christian treatment program, there are a few things to consider and at the top of the list should be the number of people who complete the program. Most treatment centers base their statistics on the people who complete the program and are drug and alcohol-free. If 50 % of the clients leave before the completion of the program, then the statistics are looking good for the center. The longer the program is, the lower the completion rate and the higher the statistics are for keeping people drug-free who complete the program.
Most people who want and are looking for a program in West Virginia to help with their addiction, are willing to commit to 30- 90 days of treatment. Any longer of a stay and the client starts to feel confined and anxious to go home and get back to their life. The longer the program is, does not usually affect the outcome of treatment, once you pass the 90-day mark. At that point, it is up to the individual to apply what they have learned and move forward with life. There may be some slips along the way but with Christ, friends, and family, overcoming this is easy. Forgiveness and understanding and love are necessary.

[All content and prices updated September 2013]
There are the famous cities that you have seen in the movies and that you have read about a million times. There are the two coasts, each presenting a different look and feel. There is the wide open space in the middle. There are the mountains in the west. There is a giant river dividing the landmass in two.
Despite the sometimes overwhelming sense of homogeneity in this world and in this country, the United States is indeed a diverse country defined by its states and its regions. Whether you are planning to see just a segment of it or travel from coast to coast and everywhere in between, chances are that no matter how familiar it may seem you will always discover something new.
9 pillars to plan your United States trip around
Purple mountains, fruited plains, sea to shining sea. Travelers could spend a lifetime trying to cover the entire country, so below are some highlights of what to see and do if you add the US to your larger trip itinerary.
- Visit some of the most bustling cities in the world – add them to your multi-stop flight as a way to see as many as possible.
- New York – The Big Apple is one of the most popular destinations in the world, and a trip the US wouldn't be complete without spending some time here.
- Las Vegas – Perhaps the most unique city in the world, there truly is no other place on Earth than Vegas.
- Los Angeles and San Francisco – These California cities are two top destinations if you fly in or out of the west coast. For a great experience, fly into one, rent a car, drive to the other, and continue on from there.
- Miami – Experience some great beaches, amazing nightlife, and some fantastic cuisine – a great place to end your time in the US.
- New Orleans – The Big Easy is home to some of the friendliest people in the country and vibe that is unmatched. See some of the best live music in the country and indulge in one of the world's best food scenes.
- Chicago – The hub of the Midwest, Chicago offers almost as much as New York, but it's not quite as expensive, and the people are quite a bit friendlier.
- Indie travelers could plan multiple trips around the National Park system in the US – it's an amazing way to see the natural beauty of the country – the Grand Canyon, all parks in Utah, Death Valley, Yosemite, Denali, Grand Teton, and Volcanoes National Parks are just small highlights of the 59 national parks strewn about the country.
- Go on a road trip. Public transport options are available, but to get a true sense of this country, rent a car at some point and take a road trip on some of the over four million miles of highways.
- Attend a local fair in a small town anywhere in the US. If you really want to understand the diversity of the US and see parts of the country you don't see on TV and in the movies, then try to attend some type of small town fair in the summer months. Corn dogs, funnel cakes, games, rides, dancing, singing – a truly unique American experience.
- Try the various types of barbecue. If it's one thing Americans love, it's cooking meat over fire. Carolina, Texas, and Kansas City are three of the most well-known types of barbecue to sample during your trip.
- Attend a sporting event. Baseball is the national pasttime, but football is the most popular sport going in the present. Attending either will provide a cool experience and insight into that city.
- If you just can't decide where to go and what to see in the US, check out some options for various tours and trips through friends of BootsnAll like Intrepid, Gap, and trekamerica.
- Visit the US in the winter and go skiing or snowboarding. Colorado is most popular, but Utah offers mountains and snow that rival Colorado's but without the same crowds. Head to the East Coast to a state like Vermont for a different experience.
- Attend a music festival – Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Coachella in California, SXSW (South by Southwest) in Austin, Texas, Jazzfest in New Orleans, Memphis in May, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza in Chicago, and Burning Man in Nevada – just a small sample of the larger ones. If in the US in the summertime, you'll be hardpressed not to find a music festival somewhere.
Where you fly in and out of will depend on your itinerary, but you have plenty of options. If spending time on the East Coast, fly into New York. If exploring the West, fly into LA. If you want to see the Midwest, Chicago is your choice. Miami and Atlanta will cover the south. If you are adding the US to your larger, RTW trip, then think about flying around the country a bit. Maybe fly into LA, drive up to Seattle, fly to Denver, then across to New York. The possibilities are endless – use Indie to plan your multi-stop trip now.
Once there, more than just about any country in the world, the United States is defined by the automobile. You'll want to think about how you plan on getting around. Outside of major cities public transportation is often limited, so you might need to rent a car. Greyhound is the largest bus company in the US, and Megabus is a giid, cheap, regional bus company (they don't cover as much of the country as Greyhound). Amtrak is the way to go if you want to take trains.
There are no shortages of places to stay in the United States. Prices on hotels in America vary greatly, and it is always advised to do some planning ahead to get the best rates at the places you want to visit. Hostels in the US are often a cheaper alternative. They aren't as widespread as in other countries, but most major cities have at least one. Motels are a cheaper version of a hotel, not quite as affordable or communal as hostels, but a good in between, especially if you are road-tripping and staying in smaller towns. Camping is also an option if you have gear to do it.

Sometimes it is a good idea to replace the flooring that you currently have. Over the years your floor goes through quite an ordeal. This can leave it looking dull, chipped and damaged and it can be hard to repair. So replacing it is often the best idea and it doesn't have to be as expensive as you think either.
Why Marble Floor Tiles Are Worth Considering
If you are thinking of replacing your flooring then marble floor tiles could be an option worth considering. They are stylish, easy to clean and they come in a variety of designs. For example, the tiles can either be rough or smooth and they often have a pattern on them which can include hand painted designs. Obviously the more complex the pattern, the more expensive the tiles will be, and the pattern which you choose will depend upon the room that you are placing them in.
For example, if you are placing the marble floor tiles in the kitchen you will want a pattern such as leaves or perhaps plain tiles are more your style. In the living room a nice swirl pattern on the tiles could go well. Take you time to know what effect you are after and look around at the options available to you before you make a decision.
You can purchase marble floor tiles from a number of different locations including local hardware department stores and on the internet. You should ideally measure the area where the tiles are going as they are usually sold in square feet and if you do not know what area you need to cover, you will not be able to purchase any.
If you do take a guess and you just purchase a rough number you could really end up regretting it. This is because if you purchase too little tiles and you have to go back to the store, they could very well have sold out of the tiles you purchased. That would mean that you have gaps where the tiling should be and it will mean all your hard work with the other tiles was for nothing. If anything always try and order too many, especially if they are patterned as then at least you have some spare in case the other ones chip or break somehow.
Overall marble floor tiles can be a good alternative to hardwood flooring but you really do need to ensure that you measure the room before purchasing any. They are easy to clean and they can be inexpensive too so they are certainly worth considering when you next look out for new flooring ideas.

WASHINGTON (AP) — We could soon be seeing the end of Saturday mail delivery.
The Postal Service has announced plans to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages to stem its financial losses in a world where the Internet has dramatically altered how we communicate and pay our bills.
"Our financial condition is urgent," Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe declared Wednesday.
The way the Postal Service describes it, the move allows the service to change with the times in hopes of eventually operating in the black.
But efforts by the service to make cutbacks before have been stymied by Congress.
Some questions and answers about the Postal Service plan:
Q: What is the plan and when would it take effect?
A: Beginning in early August, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays.
Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open and delivery of packages of all sizes would continue six days a week.
Packages have been a bright spot for the agency. Package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials said, while the delivery of letters and other mail has plummeted.
Q: Why has the Postal Service decided to cut back its delivery schedule?
A: Money.
The Postal Service suffered a $15.9 billion loss in the past budget year and has forecast more red ink in 2013. It says it expects to save $2 billion annually with the Saturday cutback. The Postal Service, an agency independent of government, does not receive tax money for its operations but is subject to congressional control over major aspects.
The majority of the service's red ink comes from a 2006 law forcing it to pay about $5.5 billion a year into future retiree health benefits, something no other agency does. Without that payment — $11.1 billion in a two-year installment last year — and related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion for the past fiscal year, lower than the previous year.
The Postal Service is in the midst of a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail-processing operations. Since 2006, it has cut annual costs by about $15 billion, reduced the size of its career workforce by 193,000, or 28 percent, and consolidated more than 200 mail-processing locations, officials say.
Q: What has been the reaction to the plan?
A: It has been met with vigorous objections from farmers, the letter carriers' union and plenty of lawmakers.
Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich called it "bad news for Alaskans and small business owners," who he said need timely delivery to rural areas.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she was disappointed, questioned the savings estimate and worried that the loss of Saturday service might drive customers away.
"The Postal Service is the linchpin of a $1 trillion mailing and mail-related industry that employs more than 8 million Americans in fields as diverse as direct mail, printing, catalog companies, magazine and newspaper publishing and paper manufacturing," she said. "A healthy Postal Service is not just important to postal customers but also to our national economy."
Despite that opposition, the Postal Service clearly thinks it has a majority of the American public on its side. The service's market research indicates that nearly 7 in 10 people support the switch as a way to reduce costs, Donahoe said.
And two Republican lawmakers said they had sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate in support of the elimination of Saturday mail. It is "common-sense reform," wrote Rep. Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Q: Can the Postal Service really make this change?
A: It thinks so. Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully has appealed to Congress to approve the move.
The proposed change is based on what appears to be a legal loophole. Congress has long included a ban on five-day-only delivery in its spending bills, but because the federal government is now operating under a temporary spending measure rather than an appropriations bill, the Postal Service's Donahoe says it's the agency's interpretation that it can make the change itself.
"This is not like a 'gotcha' or anything like that," he said. The agency essentially wants Congress to keep the ban out of any new spending bill after the temporary measure expires March 27.
Might Congress try to block the idea?
"Let's see what happens," Donahoe said. "I can't speak for Congress."
Q. What do regular mail customers think?
A. Reaction has been mixed, with some people criticizing the decision and others saying it would have little or no impact on them.
"It is bad news, a bad decision, let me tell you," Konstantine Christov, 73, said while riding the El train in Chicago. "You can read the mail much more quietly on Saturday. I get news from my bank. I can plan for next week. If I need to pay my bills I have more time to do it."
"The mail isn't that important to me anymore. … I don't sit around waiting for it to come," said James Valentine, the owner of an antiques shop in Toledo, Ohio. "It's a sign of the times. … It's not like anyone writes letters anymore."
Associated Press writers Jennifer C. Kerr and Nedra Pickler, researcher Monika Mathur and broadcast correspondent Jerry Bodlander in Washington and AP writer David Koenig in Dallas contributed to this report.

What's a Birthmark?
Birthmarks get their name for one simple reason: They are marks that are present on the skin of a lot of newborn babies! A baby can develop birthmarks either before being born or soon after birth.
One of the most common types of birthmarks is called a hemangioma (say: he-man-jee-OH-muh). Hemangiomas are a bunch of tiny blood vessels that grow in a specific area on the skin — that's why they usually look red or purple. Blood vessels are tiny tubes that carry blood through the body.
No one knows what causes blood vessels to group together, but it's good to know that most birthmarks aren't a sign of any kind of illness and usually don't hurt at all. Lots of newborns have these birthmarks on their bodies, perhaps between the eyebrows (where they're called angel kisses). These birthmarks are from wider blood vessels and usually disappear early in life.
Types of Hemangiomas
One kind of hemangioma is called a superficialhemangioma (sometimes called a strawberry hemangioma). If you think it gets its name from the fruit, you're right. A superficial hemangioma is bright red and sticks out of the skin, so it does look a little bit like a strawberry. Some superficial hemangiomas go away on their own by the time a kid is about 5 years old. Almost all superficial hemangiomas go away by themselves by the time a kid is about 10 years old.
Another type of hemangioma is beneath the outer layer of skin. It's called a deep hemangioma (sometimes called a cavernoushemangioma). Cavernous means "like a cave," and caves are deep in the earth. So this type of birthmark is deep beneath the outer layer of skin. It's puffier than a superficial hemangioma and a different color: not red like a strawberry, but more bluish-red.
Port Wine Stains
Another kind of birthmark is a port wine stain (these are from wider, not more blood vessels). This isn't puffy or raised like a superficial or deep hemangioma — it's level with the outer layer of skin. A port wine stain is an area of skin that is either maroon (a purplish-red color) or dark red. It gets its name from port wine, a type of wine that is dark maroon. Kids who have these stains usually have them on the face and neck.
Doctors can sometimes use laser surgery to treat birthmarks so that they can't be seen as much. It's important to remember, though, that birthmarks really aren't a big deal and kids who have them aren't any different from kids who don't.
By the way — If you have had any brown, blue, or black spots on your skin since birth, they are probably types of moles! Moles are tiny collections of pigment cells — cells that contain color. Like other birthmarks, moles don't hurt and usually aren't a sign of illness in kids. Sometimes they're even called beauty marks or beauty spots.
But if you have questions about a mole or birthmark on your body, you can ask your doctor about it.

"Expectations are really going up quickly" in Geneva, Switzerland, that negotiators could announce Friday that they've reached a "first-step agreement that contains the first real limits on Iran's nuclear program in nearly a decade," NPR's Peter Kenyon reports on Morning Edition.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is joining the diplomats in Geneva — adding a stop at the talks to his itinerary for a trip he's been on — and France's foreign minister also may drop in, Peter reports. Their presence has ramped up speculation about an agreement.
The so-called P5+1 talks with Iran are aimed at preventing that nation from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is intended for peaceful purposes. The U.S. and others in the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia and the U.K.) are at the negotiating table because of concern that Iran also is pursuing weapons.
Israel, too, has long insisted that Iran is trying to join the club of nations with nuclear weapons. On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that while Iran is getting "the deal of the century … the international community got a bad deal, this is a very bad deal. Israel utterly rejects it."
What might be in a "first step" deal? Iran is anxious to get out from under crippling economic sanctions. "If Iran agrees to suspend" efforts to enrich uranium, Peter says, "and reduce its existing stockpile … that would ease a lot of the fears that Tehran is getting closer and closer to someday producing nuclear weapons fuel."
A deal also might include a cap on the number of centrifuges Iran has. They're used to do the enrichment.
In return, Iran might get limited sanctions relief and some badly needed currency.
If negotiators do announce some sort of agreement, "time would be bought to work out a comprehensive nuclear deal over the next coming months," Peter adds.
Here's how the news is playing out on other news outlets' websites:
— "West And Iran May Be Near A Nuclear Deal." (The New York Times)
— "Kerry Visit Lifts Hope Of Iran Deal." (BBC News)
— "Iran Nears Interim Nuclear Deal With U.S." (The Financial Times)
— "Netanyahu Warns Kerry: Israel Not Bound By Any Deal Between Iran And West." (Haaretz)
— "Kerry To Join Iran Nuclear Talks In Geneva In Bid To Close Deal." (Al-Jazeera)

"Tweet To Beat could generate help for thousands of students in high-need public schools. My colleagues and I are cheering you on!"
-Charles Best, CEO of DonorsChoose.org
The Ethical Bribe
The gist: To benefit U.S. public school students, I will bribe the entire world to follow me on Twitter for $3 each.
I'll also be giving away a round-trip ticket anywhere in the world and a fully-loaded MacBook Pro. But first things first…
This is "Tweet to Beat", a follow-up experiment to LitLiberation, which was a campaign by bloggers and their readers, and CEOs and their employees, to spread the power of literacy worldwide. It was a new fundraising model based on competition and social media scalability, and it funded not only US public school projects (20,000+ students) but also libraries and schools in developing countries. I'm in Vietnam with readers right now to visit two of the schools.
With zero financing or hard costs, this model ended up raising more than $250,000 in less than a month, 3x more than Stephen Colbert during that same period.
The Experiment
I think that was just the tip of the iceberg, and Twitter is the perfect laboratory for a new-and-improved approach (at least with a few variables).
It's public and therefore accountable, it's trackable, it allows exclusive communication with followers when needed ("protect my updates" under settings), and it's current media popularity makes it the ideal PR vehicle for this campaign. Last but not least, though this experiment has no victims, produces no spam, nor violates the Twitter Terms of Service, this alternative use will get some purists hot and bothered.
Here's how the Tweet to Beat campaign works:
1) For every new Twitter follower in the next two weeks, I will donate $1 to DonorsChoose.org, and an anonymous supporter will match $2, for a total of $3 to U.S. public school classrooms per follower. For now, the matching limit is tentatively capped at 50,000 new followers, though I'm open to increasing it later. 50,000 new followers would mean $150,000 to U.S. public school education, and I hope to double or triple this total with a few twists.
The goal is directly helping 25,000 U.S. public school students in low-income and high-need areas in two weeks. This timeline is half the time dedicated to LitLiberation. My current follower count is, at the time of this writing, 22,782, so we'll round down and begin the count at 22,500.
Every Twitter follower will also get:
-6 months of RescueTime's Pro time tracking tools for free (Normal price: $48). Just install it with no data entry and know exactly how you spend your time. Set thresholds, alarms, or use it for an entire business team. Full disclosure: I am now an investor in RescueTime, as I think they're the best out there.
-6 months of DropBox's Pro 50GB account for free. (Normal price: $60) This is a reader favorite. Sync your files automatically to your computers and the web; sign in and access your files from any browser or mobile device. It's the world's easiest back-up and syncing service.
-6 months of PhoneTag Alpha, the latest voicemail transcription service, for free (Normal price: $60). This is closed to the public and an exclusive for Tim Ferriss followers (!). Read voicemail on your mobile phone, portable device and/or e-mail. Forget about phone interruptions and suffering through long-winded voicemails.
Total value: $168 to each follower.
2) There is a simultaneous competition for those who would like to spread the word. Just do the best you can (Facebook, blog, e-mail friends, FriendFeed, add to your e-mail signature, tell local media, etc.) and detail what you did in the comments here. Tell your friends who are teachers and encourage them to do the same. Bonus points go to people who act sooner vs. later. Deadline for comments is 3/30/09 at 3:30pm PST.
If you're able, I suggest you use a service like http://bit.ly to get a unique URL for this post so you can track clicks on your individual link as you promote it. Click-throughs are more important than "exposure". Here are a few links you can use:
http://bit.ly/tldW (shortened URL for this post)
Not sure of what to say? Here's the simple version for Facebook status and other channels:
"The Tweet to Beat – Paying $3 per Twitter follower: http://bit.ly/tldW"
Just get them to this post using curiosity and let the post do the convincing. For more promotional tactics that work, see the comments from this past competition.
The prizes:
Grand Prize: Round-trip ticket anywhere in the world Continental Airlines or one of their OnePass partners fly. This is pretty much everywhere on earth. Redeem the ticket anytime within 10 years, so no rush. If you prefer the 2nd-place prize, opt for it and the 2nd-place winner will get the round-trip ticket.
2nd-Place Prize: Brand-new condition 15″ MacBook Pro and laptop backpack with the following specs, donated by direct marketing expert Joe Polish (his Richard Branson interview here):
How Little Does It Take?
I hope you choose to participate and make a difference. Karmic capitalism doesn't take much.
Taking an hour to mentor a child, sending a single e-mail, or following someone on Twitter — remember that the small things are often what have the biggest impact, as we actually do them.
Please spread the word and further the experiment. I'll share all of the results so others can duplicate them with non-profits worldwide.
Interested in doing more? Please consider donating a few dollars directly to U.S. classrooms near you through DonorsChoose.org.
"One of the great movements in my lifetime among educated people is the need to commit themselves to action."
-Peter Drucker
