...lettuce was clean; the shrimp were well seasoned and not overcooked; and the dressing wasn't too heavy. I didn't care for the Bourbon Street steak, but I ate most of a "Veggie Patch Pizza" even though it dishonored the very idea of pizza since the "ultra-thin" crust turned out to be a tortilla. I went back to the Jamestown Applebee's even after I had what I needed for this piece...
...Columbus, Ohio, area, have continued to call her opponent, Mary Jo Kilroy, a "tax and spend liberal," while Bob Ney, the Republican congressman embroiled in the Jack Abramoff Washington lobbying scandal, has a site called lostinzackspace.com, where he attacks his Democratic opponent Zack Space and links him to his "ultra-liberal" friends: Howard Dean, George Soros and Nancy Pelosi.

If biomass - an amalgamation of wood, crops, grasses, even household wastes - is mixed with the coal, carbon emissions can be cut by a further 20%. And the resulting electricity is still cheaper than gas-produced power. Supercritical - and now ultra-supercritical - boilers have an additional advantage: they can be retrofitted into older, dirtier plants. Another, slightly less efficient, way to use coal is through integrated gasification combined cycle (igcc) technology, which gasifies coal and uses the resulting hydrogen and carbon monoxide mix to spin the turbines...
...Domestically, the rate rise would be a tiny boon for Japanese savers?the BOJ says a decade of ultra-low interest rates has cost households $1.3 billion in interest income. But the cost of loans for housing and credit cards would inch up, and stocks traditionally suffer when rates rise. Still, after so many years trapped in an economic twilight zone, the Japanese may find such worries almost a pleasure to contemplate. As Tatsushi Shikano, a senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting, says: "It's a sign that things are going back to normal...
