The margaux was not very good but switched to the 2007 Robert Mandavi Cab which is excelent. The wine guy at trader joe's says its his favorite and always buys a few cases. He is so right

I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.

The 757 has also found itself in private and government service. The United States Air Force has fitted four 757-200s for VIP transport duties (C-32A). These are painted in the standard blue and white paint scheme used by the USAF for its VIP transport aircraft. These aircraft are often used to transport the Vice President of the United States under the callsign "Air Force Two". The USAF also operates two 757-200 aircraft (C-32B) for use by the U.S. State Department Foreign Emergency Support Team. These aircraft are painted solid white with only a small American flag and the USAF serial number on the fuselage.

Besides, it's not as easy for international students to set up new utilities/landlines no more.

Sadly it was too much logistics for my student association to handle. Besides, it seems all the new coming students are so rich ( or should I say having rich parents) that they just pay high deposit/rates and get new cell phones/plans on Day One.

My nice gesture was turned down and 1100 minutes were history.
Darn. I'm sure a woman's shelter would have lept through hoops to accomplish that. It would have been easy to buy a new phone, set up an account in their name, and transfer the minutes.
