With sizzling temperatures, gorgeous beaches, great nightlife, and historic towns, this Mediterranean jewel has plenty to tempt you to its shores...
The island, born out of volcanic activity, sits some 100 miles off the west coast of Africa and enjoys an abundance of sun and a rolling landscape of sand dunes that have blown over from the Sahara Desert.
The resort of Maspalomas is where you and your family can explore the dunes. The sandy hillocks are for those on foot only - expect to see walkers, camel trekkers, and some nudists.
The island - the third largest of the Canaries - is fairly small and roughly round in shape, with a mountainous middle that rolls down to clean and sandy beaches, passing whitewashed villages and tourist resorts along the way.
Reaching your resort from the capital's Las Palmas Airport (LPA - also known as Gando) is simple with transfers or car hire, and most of the popular resorts are centred on the south coast of the island. Holidaymakers can choose from lively Playa del Ingles or Puerto Rico, hit the dunes in pretty Maspalomas, or just lie back and top up the tan in Puerto Mogan (which is Puerto de Mogan and Playa Mogan), Playa Taurito, San Agustin, Amadores, Bahia Feliz, Meloneras, Salobre or Sonnenland.
Whichever resort you choose, you will be greeted with typical Spanish hospitality and you'll find long sandy beaches on which to spend your days, and a variety of friendly restaurants in which to relax in the evenings. Families, groups and couples will find their ideal destination among the mix of quiet, exclusive resorts and bustling, energetic hotspots. And there's a great mix of accommodation in Gran Canaria, with villas, self-catering apartments, high-end hotels and spa hotels to choose from. There are all-inclusive options here too, though eating out is very good value if you aren't catered for day and night.
Gran Canaria holidays can be crammed with activity, if that's what ticks your holiday boxes, and there are opportunities galore to hit the waves and enjoy watersports.
The sport of shopping is popular here too, with Yumbo Centrum in Playa del Ingles providing gift and clothing shops and the Maspalomas Plaza contributing a higher-end shopping experience. The local markets, held all over the island (there's a great market at Teror every Sunday morning), are magnificent spots in which to soak up the atmosphere while picking up bargains, and the capital of Las Palmas offers a bustling shopping scene. Las Palmas is a worthwhile day trip and many hours can be spent enjoying the old town or savouring the beauty of Santa Ana Cathedral. And don't forget that Gran Canaria offers duty-free shopping, so you can stock up on goodies here.
If you are now sold on Gran Canaria holidays, TravelSupermarket can help you to find cheap deals to this delightful holiday isle. Use our search tool now to get your Gran Canaria adventure underway.
Find out the best time of year to book your Gran Canaria adventure, whether you want sky-high temperatures or something a little cooler...
The Canary Islands bake in year-round sunshine and enjoy pleasant warm temperatures even in the depths of the British winter. Feel the warmth on your skin in January in Gran Canaria with an average daily temperature of 18C. Bake in averages of 25C in July. It's likely to rain every few days between November and February, though it won't be enough to spoil your sunshine break.
Fiestas and carnivals are all part of island life in Gran Canaria, and there are a variety of annual events to tempt visitors. Find out what's on...
Maspalomas Carnival; February/March: The whole island goes mad for this fun-filled spring Carnival. If you're on the island you simply must visit the sand dunes and beaches of Maspalomas to witness one of the liveliest and most colourful events you're ever likely to see outside of the Rio Carnival.
Lomo Magullo Water Fight; August: This entertaining event dates back to the 1970s when the locals would hunt for water to sate the thirst of their crops. There is clearly plenty of water to go around these days - leave your camera and your inhibitions behind and prepare for a drenching in Lomo Magullo.
Virgen del Pino Fiesta; September: The picture-postcard town of Teror hosts one of the island's most important fiestas, which celebrates Gran Canaria's patron saint: Our Lady of the Pines. Respects are paid at church and then the street party begins.
There's something to satisfy every holiday taste in Gran Canaria, whether you're looking for adventure, culture, romance, or just a little time out...
Active types: Rock climbers and hikers should head to one of Gran Canaria's most famous landmarks - the Roque Nublo, or 'Rock in the Clouds'. Towering 80m above the ground, the views you are treated to on reaching the summit make it worth your while.
Nightlife: If you're a die-hard partier then Playa del Ingles caters for every taste and you'll be treated to a variety of clubs and bars. Nearby Puerto Rico has a more laid-back vibe, while still having a selection of lively bars.
Kids and teens: Maspalomas is home to Holiday World which has something for all ages. The little ones will enjoy the funfair and pony rides, teens can head to the bowling alley, and mum and dad can enjoy lunch in one of the restaurants or bars.
Romance: The picturesque resort of Puerto Mogan, or 'little Venice', offers the perfect setting for romance. With its winding streets and yacht-filled marina, couples can relax here away from the hustle and bustle, and enjoy waterfront, candlelit dinners by night.
Babies and toddlers: The shallow waters and sloping sands offered by the beach at Maspalomas is the perfect place for tots to safely play and enjoy the sun.
Free and cheap: Budding explorers may like to visit Casa de Colon, located near to Las Palmas. Supposedly a stop-off made by Columbus en route to the New World, the museum charges a small fee and is filled with nautical exhibits, maps, navigation instruments and other objects relating to the famous explorer.
Shopping: If you're looking to shop till you drop, Gran Canaria offers plenty of options. The Calle Mayor de Triana in Las Palmas is just one of these, offering half a mile of stores for you to wander around at your leisure.

"Schindlers List"
Steven Spielberg After making PG and PG-13 blockbusters and dramas, the director helmed his first R-rated film, 1993s Schindlers List. And the end result was indeed something special. "Schindlers" illustrated Spielberg's maturity as a filmmaker and won numerous Academy Awards, including best film and best director. Liam Neeson (pictured), Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes star in this epic about the German businessman, who during the Holocaust saved the lives of over 1,000 Polish Jews.Universal

In Saturday's Clemson football scrimmage, former Bartram Trail quarterback Kyle Parker completed 5 of 12 passes for 87 yards and three touchdowns. Two of his scores went to fullback Chad Diehl, one of 43 yards on a swing pass on the sidelines and one on a 4-yard score. He also threw a 14-yard scoring pass to freshman tight end Dwayne Allen. Clemson is looking for a new starter at quarterback with the graduation of two-year starter Cullen Harper. Willy Korn, who is considered the frontrunner for the job, completed 4 of 9 passes for 42 yards.
"I thought both quarterbacks played well today," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney told the school's Web site. "Willy Korn and Kyle Parker both managed the offense in difficult weather conditions and made some plays. I don't know who our starting quarterback will be in the opener, but I am confident we will have a talented player under center."

please can you review my website:
its soon to be under a different domain name but please tell me what you think. What changes could be made and what could be added?
please can you review my website:
its soon to be under a different domain name but please tell me what you think. What changes could be made and what could be added?
From a design stand point I think that the real question you should be asking instead of 'what should be added' is 'what can we remove'
Remember that people are going to be coming to this website and they want it to be Easy to Understand and Easy to Access. When I load a website and the first thing I'm greeted with is a page who has 80% of its text set to Bold, I struggle to understand where to look first, and what is more important than other things.
I would highly highly highly suggest removing the bolding from the Left Sliders because it starts to fight the Main Content for attention. (people see the bar and will know what to do with it, you don't need to make it shout at them)
Other than that I think it comes down to just spacing. The website is very cramped if you put everything in a box inside a box inside a box inside a box. (this is fine of course, but your borders are set to a very heavy weight.) I'd suggest lowering the weight of your borders to about 1-3 pixels tops. Use a thicker weight (3) to separate main parts of the website from other elements, but inside of elements themselves use a lighter weight (1) so that people will recognize that they're still within the element, and not starting a new one.
I promise I'm not being harsh here, just a simple User-Interface opinion
no completely agree, any criticism is welcomes be as harsh as possible! do you think it needs a registration system?
I think the header looks pretty good. I think that the left hand column is the main problem. The bold/narrow text is hard to read and there doesn't seem to be enough line-spacing
I think that the color scheme is simple, yet appealing. It works well and is embedded snugly with the div configurations.
As an extra suggestion, maybe you can make and add flash, or on the hover of the links, change the text decoration (ex. the words become underlined when the cursor is over them).

30 fact-based movies, and their detractors, over 30 years
"Zero Dark Thirty" comes to theaters Friday with lots of anticipation - and lots of baggage.
The drama by Oscar winners Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, about the hunt for and the killing of Osama bin Laden, is based on a true story. But it's also a movie, and, in these fractured times, it's also the focus of controversy - both because it shows U.S. interrogators using torture to get information, and because, some legislators charged last week, the CIA may have misled filmmakers by suggesting that torture was used at all. »Read Full Article(1)

Memories of Bruce from the 70s and 80s
Bill Green
September 6, 2013I had the privilege of working with Bruce during my years at JPL, starting when I first joined JPL in 1969, and group of us worked with Bruce and Bob Leighton at Caltech to develop the methods for removing camera distortion from the images returned from the Mariner 9, Mariner 10 and Viking Orbiter spacecraft vidicon cameras. Later he supported my organization at JPL in our successful efforts to bring the task of processing the Viking Lander image processing responsibilities to JPL. Bruce was a person who always challenged you and helped you discover that you could do more than you thought you were capable of doing. He was a great role model for many of us, and leaves a great legacy.

Patient Comments: Psoriatic Arthritis - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with psoriatic arthritis.
Comment from: Denise, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 24
I am a 58 year old woman and do not have a rash, but I do feel bumps on my skin and I am always very itchy. I have had issues on the left side of my body, specifically very bad lower back pain which has been diagnosed as dysfunctional SI (sacroiliac joint). I also have bad shoulder pain which causes shooting pain down my arm. Both of these symptoms are on the left side. One year ago, I lost the hearing in my left ear, sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). I have wondered if all of this is related. I wonder if this could be psoriatic arthritis.
Comment from: mel, 75 or over Male (Patient) Published: February 24
I have had psoriatic arthritis for years. I took gold shots and was in remission for 30 years, and 3 years after stopping the shots.
Comment from: Busygirl, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 14
I've had psoriasis since I was 5 years old, on my knees, elbows, and scalp. Then last year I developed a painful shoulder that was diagnosed as frozen shoulder. Six months ago my feet started burning at night and would keep me awake at night. I went to my general physician who referred me to a rheumatologist, who after a month of testing, announced I have PSA and was HLA B27 positive. I was started on Remicade 8 weeks ago and have had zero relief. The pain is now in my hands, wrists, feet, ankles, Achilles tendons and cervical spine. The only other med I take is Motrin as nothing else seems to work and the tramadol made me itch like crazy. I have to keep moving all the time in order to not freeze up.
Comment from: Rhonda j, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 30
I always had a bad scalp and crusty stuff behind my ears. At the age of 23 I got strep throat and had a full body outbreak of psoriasis. My brother had this 6 years before me after a spider bite. At the age of 34 I started falling apart. I painted my pre-kindergarten classroom and the next day I could barely walk. Gabapentin and meloxicam were prescribed. It got a little better, then my jaw started hurting real bad, along with my feet. Eventually my hip joined in; then my fingers and my fingernails started separating from my nail bed. With all of the hurting I blamed it on age and maybe depression - remember "depression hurts - Cymbalta can help?" Well, I tried Cymbalta and no, it didn"t help. I went to another family practitioner and he did blood work and confirmed that it is psoriatic arthritis. I thought finally I know that it"s not in my head - there is something wrong. My inflammation level was double what it should be. After being on Humira and methotrexate, and hydrocodone which I only take when it"s unbearable, it worked for about 3 months but here I am with the hurting worse than what it ever was. Now I am back at square one but even worse and I went to my rheumatologist today, and nope, no magic cure.
Comment from: KC, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 21
My psoriatic arthritis started at age 42 with a rash behind my ears, followed by one swollen finger. Weird! Then another finger, with pain always worse in the morning. This went on for months. One day I woke up, and it was in my right jaw. That"s when I got scared because I couldn"t open my mouth to get a toothbrush in there! I went to a rheumatologist, and was started on methotrexate but couldn"t handle the side effects. I"ve been on Humira now for 6 weeks, and the improvement was dramatic and life-changing. I now realize just how exhausted I really was from this disease. I didn"t even know how bad I felt until I felt better. I estimate that I was gradually getting sick for 2 years, in retrospect. I started exercising again after 2 years, and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. I am back to my old self, healthy and active, lots of energy, amazing!
Comment from: GET ACTIVE, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: January 30
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis 5 years ago after countless referrals to doctors for knee problems, joint pain, fatigue, etc. You need to advocate for yourself you know your body best. After being sent to a knee specialist, the OT (occupational therapist) said she thought it was a good idea for me to go to the "Arthritis Society" and see another OT. She saved my life and hooked me up with a proper doctor. The self-administered needles and medications that I took mad me sick for 4 years but held my pain and inflammation at bay, which I was grateful for. It enabled me to get active! Three months ago I was introduced to "Melt Method" and my life has yet had another crossroads. I have been needle free for 3 months with no more pain or inflammation than when I was on my methotrexate and V12. I still take my Apo-Naproxen. It has been a long painful journey from the pain of the disease to working though pain at the gym doing Pilates, weights, and toning. If you have psoriatic arthritis bottom line is, it is going to hurt! You must work though that and be active every day. It gets easier. I went from not being able to sleep, do my job properly, chronic pain, to cross-country skiing, Pilates, and doing tai chi, I am 51 years old now and live with less pain which is gradually dissipating. It may hurt to get active, but trust me it will hurt even more if you are not! Good luck with your journey.

Medical education can no longer be described or discussed apart from general education. It is likewise true that the medical sciences cannot be intelligently considered apart from the natural and physical sciences in general. The special studies of the medical student, as Flexner has remarked, begin everywhere with physics, chemistry and biology. The investigator—even the clinical investigator—is constantly driven back on them; not only does he need good fundamental training in the basic sciences before beginning his medical course, but from time to time he must endeavor by contact and study to keep himself fairly abreast of their progress. Without a firm and clear grasp of the basic sciences, Flexner adds, the practitioner cannot comprehend his medical subjects as a student, or read and utilize the current literature when in practice.
We have become accustomed to think of agriculture as an art so far apart from medicine that we rarely

However, every time I run it I get the message saying the resulting code is -2147023582 something, rather than the error codes defined in the manual.
Anyone got any ideas? I am using Windows 7 professional 64-bit.
Update: The number is -2147023582. Could it be some sort of 64-bit issue? doesn't that look like a unsigned integer stored as a signed integer?

Horses have twice as many legs as humans, which makes them faster runners, stronger jumpers, and noisier tap dancers. Enlist the help of an extra pair of legs with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $39 for a one-hour horseback-riding session (an $85 value)
- $99 for three one-hour horseback-riding sessions (a $255 value)
- $149 for a four-day kids' horseback-riding summer camp (a $350 value)
With light instruction from skilled staff members, riders groom and befriend horses, become familiar with the tack, saddle, and bridle, and then mount their steeds for a tranquil trot around RNR Stables' sandy arena. Alternatively, the summer camp gives youths aged 8–17 a chance to expand their equine knowledge while interacting with horses and fellow enthusiasts. Sessions take place Mondays through Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May 28 through August 30. Each week of the camp introduces different activities, such as breeds, equipment, riding, and gaits, to gradually grow fledgling riders into experienced jockeys.
RNR Stables
At RNR Stables, team members employ the sport of horseback riding to foster riders confidence and encourage them to build relationships with horses. Under staff members supervision riders can learn about tack and private lessons. Skilled staff members provide basic riding instructions & tack procedure & then permit riders to practice these skills in the arena.

With a BA and Master's degree in Accounting, Peter Schaumann added up the numbers and made a calculated decision to invest in Batteries Plus Bulbs franchises. Along with his wife, Emily, the Schaumanns now own and operate three stores in Southern California. Having purchased their first location in Vista back in December of 2009, in just over four years, they have acquired two more, in Escondido and Lake Forest, exponentially growing their business and staff in a very short amount of time.
A multi-tasking, hands-on owner, Peter Schaumann oversees most of the day-to-day operations of his stores, while raising four active children with Emily, and spending time getting involved with his church and the local Chambers of Commerce in Vista, Oceanside and Escondido. Furthermore, he recently hosted customer appreciation events at each of his locations over the past two weeks. Although admittedly still overwhelmed with all that he has going on, it's obvious that Peter Schaumann takes everything in stride, appreciates the complexity of his life, and wouldn't have it any other way.
"I have great people around me; three great store managers and great sales reps, and I enjoy forming relationships with our customers. People are very appreciative about living in this great part of the country, and it makes everyone in the community pretty happy. This makes doing busy around here enjoyable."
Initially referred by his neighbor's brother, a multi-unit franchise owner in Virginia, Schaumann found the prospect of becoming a Batteries Plus Bulbs franchisee fairly intriguing from the get-go. He quickly realized that by having four key sales outlets: retail, commercial, government and online, he could sell just about anything if he was able to develop good business relationships with vendors. After understanding the intrinsic demand for all types of batteries and light bulbs, across all types of applications and industries, he saw that a huge potential existed in this already established franchise business model.
"Previously, as the president of a small business for eight years, and having to manage company expenses, I clearly recognized the value of leveraging a proven, successful franchise and sharing in the costs, resources and brand recognition across the entire nationwide system. There's no way I could've ramped-up my business so quickly if I was starting something from scratch, on my own."
Furthermore, as Schaumann bought all three of his locations from existing Batteries Plus franchise owners, the infrastructure was already in place and a reputation had been established in the communities. And when he realized that a huge void at the Vista location existed in their commercial book of business, he also saw this as a sure-fire way to immediately step-in and impact his bottom-line.
"When the Lake Forest store joined the Schaumann Franchisee Group, the prior owner agreed to continue promoting Commercial Sales, knowing that his expertise would boost sales throughout all the stores. This turned out to be a perfect transition for both of us. Utilizing his experience, we've been able to ramp-up commercial sales at the other two stores, as well."
Offering new products, mentoring employees, opening stores, generating sales, entertaining customers, and being a dad should keep Peter Schaumann pretty busy for the foreseeable future. Still, he seems to be in his element, having found a business that caters to his strengths and allows him to grow it at his own pace (which appears to be pretty quick!). Essentially, the core of his success seems to be deeply rooted in his day-to-day philosophy: Go Beyond Expectations. This explains why the most fundamental joy he still gets from owning Batteries Plus Bulbs franchises is when he's able to solve a flabbergasted customer's problem, sending them out the door with a working product in their hands and a smile on their face.
We supply products people and businesses need and use every day, plus services and expertise to help them. There's not a more satisfying, stable business to be in right now."
Dustin Myers, Multi-unit Franchise owner
Batteries Plus Bulbs offers multiple revenue streams, including retail, business accounts, and smartphone and tablet repairs. Other franchises often offer only one. Bottom line – if you like to sell, work hard, and want own your own business Batteries Plus Bulbs is a franchise you should seriously consider."

Batteries Plus Bulbs is owned by Roark Capital Group, an Atlanta-based private equity firm.

With the opening of the first all-battery retail store in 1988 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Batteries Plus, as the brand was then known, quickly became the uncontested leader in the battery market, differentiated by superior product knowledge, product availability, helpful service and advice.

UPP means the contact lens manufacturers dictate the cost their lenses are sold at, which unfortunately eliminates marketplace competition and your overall ability to shop for the cheapest price. UPP is the direct causes of such drastic price increases.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Infiniti QX80
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.2
Clearly, the 2014 Infiniti QX80 lines up against the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, but other high-priced competitors include the Lexus LX and Land Rover's Range Rover. Gasoline may be over four bucks a gallon and parking lots are getting tighter, but there remains a healthy market for the big, powerful, luxury SUV, and the QX80, with its 8-passenger seating and 8,500-pound towing capacity, is as big and powerful as they get. However, having impressive capabilities does not make the QX80 particularly unique What does set it apart is its sumptuous interior and the sheer scope of its technology features.
This is not complicated: room for eight, can tow a good-sized trailer, flashy styling, great interior, loads of technology, big engine, go-anywhere talent, luxury image. If that's what you need, the Infiniti QX80 could be it.
This is a yes-no situation: The QX80 is a big vehicle, it takes up lots of room, it won't be easy to park in tight spots, and it's not easy on gas. All of those are reasons to look for something else that's smaller and more efficient.
For 2014 the major news is that the Infiniti QX80 is the vehicle formerly known as the QX56. The only other change is that the advanced Backup Collision Intervention system is added to the Technology Package.
What sorts of driving manners would you expect of a full-size luxury SUV in this price range? The 2014 QX80 delivers on whatever those expectations might be. With its fully-independent...
... suspension (not found on all full-size SUVs, by the way), it's luxuriously smooth and road imperfections are barely noticeable. At highway speeds or around town, the interior is supremely quiet. While the chassis deals with whatever is down at the road surface, the stout V8, matched with the velvety 7-speed automatic transmission, moves the big QX80 with ease and smooth certainty. If this is the kind of vehicle you want, there are few to match it.
The 2014 QX80's 5.6-liter V8 is a mountain of smooth and ready power. Making 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, it simply does not take "no" for an answer. Matched to an extremely slick-shifting 7-speed automatic, the combination moves the big QX80 with effortless ease.
The idea of the 2014 QX80 as an "executive jet" for the road really helps everything about the SUV make sense. The interior is a finely crafted suite and, with the smoothness of its ride and quietness of its cabin, the QX80 is an idyllic place to be.
Infiniti's design philosophy for the QX80 is related to "executive jet" interiors. In execution, this means spacious seating all the way to the third row with seats that define sumptuous comfort. It also means lots of control functions available for each passenger. And it means purposeful-looking gauges that are crisply done with wood trim adding that necessary look of upscale luxury. It's a very nice place to sit down and take a ride.
While a lot of full-size SUVs push their full sizes to the far corners of a rectangular box shape, the Infiniti QX80 is a combination of curves that rise over the front then flow to the rear with hardly a straight line in sight. On top, the available roof rack allows securing the odd canoe or a load of cross-country luggage, although actually stowing things up there will be a reach. Overall, the QX80's shape is not one about which many people will be neutral, but it stands apart from the more squared-off choices, such as the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator.
There is not room enough here to list anywhere near the full complement of standard features on the 2014 Infiniti QX80. Among them are 20-inch wheels, streaming Bluetooth audio, keyless start, push-button start, 3-zone climate control, an 8-inch touch screen with navigation, and a host of additional luxury and technology gear.
The 2014 QX80 offers the choice of 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive, but its optional packages are where consumers really get to equip the vehicle to their specific needs. The Theater Package includes a 2nd-row entertainment system with remote control. A bench seat for the second row and 22-inch wheels fitted with all-season tires. The Deluxe Touring Package upgrades the leather inside and adds a 15-speaker Bose audio unit. Hydraulic Body Control and Advanced Climate Control also come with the Deluxe Touring Package. The Technology Package offers an array of safety systems, including Intelligent Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Distance Control Assist, and advanced Backup Collision Intervention.
The Infiniti QX80 is powered by a monumental 5.6-liter V8 that makes 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. Both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive models have Hill Start Assist and Snow Mode to help you get moving when roads are slick. All Season 4-wheel drive operates with a slight rear bias but constantly adjusts power between the front and rear wheels as necessary. All models feature a 7-speed automatic transmission with a "manual" mode and downshift rev-matching. Obviously, fuel economy is not the QX80's strong point, but if you want a big SUV that will haul eight people and their gear, and do it in the lap of luxury, and is also capable of dealing with a trailer weight of over four tons, the QX80 will get it done.
5.6-liter V8
400 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm
413 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 14/20 mpg

"I had owned a 2008 QX56 and never had a problem with it. We bought the new 2015 QX80 and after 3 months, we experienced issues with the Audio Visual unit. The radio, GPS and anything connected with the AV unit would not work for long periods of time. Took the car into the dealer and it is still there after 2 months. Nissan/Infiniti is replacing the vehicle, but what a headache. You would never think of these issues with a vehicle that sports a MSRP of approximately $80K. Furthermore, the customer service experience has been very bad. Return phone calls are non-existent and they don't let you speak to higher level managers during the process."

Reason: Not what I expected
Pros: "Luxurious amenities. Beautifully designed."
Cons: "Performance, cargo area, driver/passenger comfort."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 3
"i traded an '08 Denali for a 2014 QX80, and I've regretted the move ever since. Although this truck is beautifully sculpted with amazing lines, there are a few design issues which limit the overall comfort and performance of the ride. For what this thing costs brand new, it's a shame that the most comfortable seats actually reside in the middle row. The driver and front passenger seats are rigid, firm, and on longer drives, become uncomfortable rather quickly. The rear cargo area is small, because in a successful effort to create more leg room for the passengers in the middle section without extending the overall length of the vehicle, Infiniti drastically reduced the rear space behind the third row. I understand, you have to give a little to get a little, but the cargo area while using the third row is useless for anything larger than maybe two carry-on roller bags. My QX80 was fitted with the upgraded 22 inch premium wheels. Although they are nice, and give the truck a much more aggressive stance, the wheels are narrow, and on a top heavy truck, this brings about handling and stability issues during highway driving. Primarily on longer trips where wind can become an issue. Also, the overall performance was lackluster. These trucks are outfitted with a 5.7L V8, which actually struggles to accelerate at highway speeds. My old Denali was lighter, and was equipped with a 6.2L V8. Overall, the QX80 is a beautiful vehicle, but for my taste, it can be lacking in a few key performance areas."

I took it to the dealer after I bought it two weeks they said that is normal because the technology. That doesn't make sense to me. I had 2010 QX56 didn't had that issue.

In a large epidemiological study, researchers at UCLAs Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center reported that the children of U.S.-born Latina women are at increased risk of having retinoblastoma, a malignant tumor of the retina which typically occurs in children younger than age 6.
The study, which focused on babies born in California, revealed that offspring of older fathers were at greater risk for retinoblastoma, as were children born to women with sexually transmitted diseases and those involved in multiple births, which may indicate the risk increases with in vitro fertilization, according to a news release.
The research team used data from the California Cancer Registry and examined all retinoblastoma cases reported from 1988 to 2007, Julia Heck, the studys first author and an assistant researcher in the UCLA School of Public Health, said in a news release. Using California data allowed the researchers to cull information from a large and diverse population that included many Latinas.
"One of the most interesting things we found in this study that hasnt been reported is the differences among Latina mothers and the risk being lower among mothers born in Mexico," Heck said in the release. "We believe this is because women born in Mexico who come to the U.S. and have children have very healthy behaviors in the perinatal period, immediately before and after giving birth."
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Healths National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and appears in the early online edition of the journal Cancer Causes & Control.

Throw the bums out, not women
Published: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 10:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 10:54 p.m.
I have a simple plan to solve the insanity in Washington. In fact, I can solve our legislative problems with one of my shortest columns ever.
Rather than getting rid of all 535 members of United States Congress as many have suggested, I'd rather see us throw all of the men out of Congress.
Now, there are some sorry female members of Congress, but I'd rather not risk losing any of the good ones, and God knows women — for the most part — have more sense than men.
What about Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.? She's not far from taking up serpents on Sunday mornings. But she's not running for re-election. Let her stay. We can use the comedy during these difficult days.
After we send the bums to the private sector, let's have a constitutional amendment mandating at least 51 percent women in the House and Senate from now on. The country would be better for it. And the world, too.
That's my approach to ending the madness.

Skip to comments.Reuters admits altering Beirut photo
Posted on 08/06/2006 5:57:32 AM PDT by MatchGrade
A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.
(Excerpt) Read more at ynetnews.com ...
This story was "broken" by FReepers yesterday.
Actually, it ws broken by Little Green Footballs.
Give credit where credit is due. Little Green Footballs broke the story first, although many experts here helped prove the fake.
The Green Helmet Guy in 1986
The Green Helmet Guy in 2006
Sorry I missed that one earlier. Looking at the picture now, though, it seems to me that Beirut is portrayed as being the size of New York City ~
I stand corrected.
The "main stream media" strikes again.I tell my kids to watch the news with a critical eye.By the way the glaciers will begin to melt tomorow.
You have to hand it to Reuters' apology:
"In the message, Reuters said that "photo editing software was improperly used on this image. A corrected version will immediately follow this advisory. We are sorry for any inconvience."
"...photo-editing software was improperly used (we should've used the smudge tool, dang it!) on this image. A corrected version (a new photo that we've professionally altered this time) will immediately follow this advisory."
What a bunch of liars and idiots.
The big question is: How many on the liberal blogs (DU, moveon, etc) are complaining about the fact that a doctored photo was put out as fact? I bet none on those blogs have complained at all.
Accused? It was obvious.
Good call! By saying that Reuters was "accused" of doctoring the photograph gives a vague witch-hunt feel to the charge. The correct word is, of course, "exposed".
I expect this so I am not at all impressed that they admited to it.
Now THIS would be "shocking" news.
How about all the news orgs than ran the pic? Will they also run a correction?
1. What do they know and when did they know it?
2. What safeguards are in place to prevent the publishing of fraudulent photographs and news stories?
3. Will Israel receive an apology from Reuters?
4. What other photos/stories came from the same source and will they get re-reviewed?
5. After the 911 attacks, Reuters' editors decided to forbid the "terrorist" label on Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, or any other terrorist group because you wanted to be viewed as impartial. Do you believe your reporting in Lebanon is considered impartial to Israelis?
6. Is it time to review the "terrorist" label decision?
It is amazing that news organizations feel the need to alter an image like this. They purely have parallel goals to the murderers attacking Israel. Terrorists need news organizations to be effective.
The "photographer" is Adnan Hajj, who was also the primary "photo-journalist" for the Qana event (I won't call it a massacre anymore because it is becoming apparent that it was staged).
Here's a blog post (link from LGF where there's a lot more coverage of this story) by Jeff Harrell about Hajj.
The first clue was OJ Simpson's face in the smoke.
Question...did Adnan Hajj (the photographer of this photo) also photograph Qana??
Just must have just missed your post..I repeated it in #23
Well, isn't that interesting?
Thanks for the post.
I've been distracted lately (that work and job annoyance) so I've not
gotten up to speed on "Green Helmet Guy".
I think your side-by-side photo arrangement "equals a thousand words"
or more.
We no longer suspect that the Dinosaur media are united with the terrorists. We know it.
If President Bush were true to his 9/12 vow he would shut down Reuters, the NYT and any others that aid and abet the enemy. But we live in dainty, pussyfooting times. Well, the enemy isn't dainty and pussyfooting.
But you know they're howling up a storm at DU that it was aneo-con, ultra right-wing radical evangelical conservative blog that just had to nit-pick at everything.
HEHEHEHEHEHE and someone in the group will utter; "An Obscenity FreeRepublic!" hehehehehehehe
The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.
Accused? It was obvious.
Good call! By saying that Reuters was "accused" of doctoring the photograph gives a vague witch-hunt feel to the charge. The correct word is, of course, "exposed".
Nope. LGF this time. Charles Johnson really busted them.
Maybe thats true. However, the savage destruction of the civilian infrastructure throughout Lebanon is REAL as well as the killing of innocent civillians. Wake up and stop decieving yourself and your public.
The spelling errors are his, not mine.
I just held my nose and went over to DU. They have nothing anywhere on the site about this story. Surprised?
"Terror Rooters", that's the name
And away the truth goes down the drain...
amazing...he found the fountain of youth!!1!
"A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web logs."'
"Damn those pajama bastards!"
Another nail for the coffin of the MSM.
the following link is a bit earlier, but both are definitely worth visiting!

well put.
Bump for later
And she has provided this link to the Yahoo Images site with a whole bunch of his photos. I think this is a challenge for Freepers!
Where's Buckhead?
I did a search of Google images and came up with a lot fewer hits than the Yahoo search, and the Google ones are mostly of soccer matches (World Cup?) Can someone else search other photo archive sources?
I won't participate in the close examination of these photos as I'm basically legally blind, so my evaluations might be just a bit suspect <g>
Reuters seems to be saying, "Yes we doctor our photos, but we promise to do it better going forward so you can't tell".
Who is the president of Reuters? Is he a Muslinazi?
Is Reuters now "Al Jazeera II "?
No I'm not surprised, but the howls of anguish and blame will come from DU as more comes out that Al-Reuters is faking the news and "the knowledgable on the net" are bringing them down just as they did Mary Mapes and Dan Rather.

I'm working on a project that has a listing of workshops. Categories in this case might include things like the artist giving the workshop, the location, the year, the topic, and etc.
What I'm trying to do is put together a series of drop down boxes that will allow you to filter the posts: Artist #1 is giving a workshop in 2010 in Arizona, for example.
I've found the multiple-category-selection-widget which is PERFECT for this, but it seems to be broken in WordPress 2.8.4.
I've tried doing custom search forms that have the drop down boxes, but when the search query comes up, we have a format like this: /?s=&cat=13,17 - This query brings up all posts in categories 13 and 17, not just the posts that are in BOTH 13 and 17.
Does anyone have a method or any advice on what to do about this problem? I need something that will let me do the search based on posts that are ONLY IN the selected categories, not ALL the posts that are in ALL the selected categories.
I've seen a lot of other people trying to do this, but I haven't really seen a solution other than the multiple-category-selection-widget (again, its broken). Some of the other advanced category or search plugins say they'll do something like this, but I've not found anything that's quite right.

Our next stop after Legian was The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah. Service was excellent. Chedi arranged a driver to pick us up from Legian. The driver was really friendly and gladly explained everything about Ubud. When we arrived at Chedi, we were greeted by our personal butler. She was fantastic! Her english was good and very friendly. She even provided us with food, drinks and even cold towel while we waited for our room. Chedi was very different from Legian. It is a hotel that is very rich in Balinese art. Every part of Chedi is unique. We were completely amazed by this hotel. Every part of the room reflected the Balinese culture. At first my wife was pretty worried about the mosquitos and peeping tom because of the open concept bathroom, but she was wrong.
We stayed at Chedi for 2 nights. My advice for fellow traveller is "stay longer!"

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 231124 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 724 AM EDT SAT JUL 23 2016 LATEST UPDATE... Aviation .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 258 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2016 A southwesterly flow of very warm and humid air will continue into tonight. Well above normal temperatures are forecasted as a result. A cold front will approach from the northwest Saturday night and Sunday. This feature will then push through the region Sunday night. With an unstable airmass in place...there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms around for the second half of the weekend. Dry weather returns for Monday. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday) Issued at 258 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Despite the temperatures likely to climb into the 90s today...the dewpoints stay mainly in the 60s. As a result...it looks like we will fall short of the need for a Heat Advisory. Southern counties will need to be monitored given their proximity to the moisture. Its hard to say how the convection will evolve tonight into Sunday night. The models are not handling the current setup very well...especially the convective complex over Nebraska. What I do see in the models that lines up with the stronger convection is an 850 mb low level jet. The nose of this feature intersects the axis of instability...resulting in a complex. Looking ahead 24 hrs from now...this low level jet strengthens as it pushes northeast through WI and into the UP. Thus...it does appear another complex will develop in that region tonight. The outflow from this feature should push into part of my CWA later tonight and/or Sunday morning. Will downplay the pops to start tonight...but keep them relatively high for tonight. The forecast area ends up on the divergent backside of the low level jet Sunday and Sunday night. So somewhat of a limiting factor is forecasted for widespread convection. Still the surface front pushes into a warm and unstable airmass. Some synoptic lift is forecasted as the mid to upper level wave pushes through...but the trend is for weaker lift from this feature. Will keep a risk for storms going. Stronger mid to upper level subsidence arrives for later Sunday night into Monday. Thus the precipitation should diminish quickly. I did feature patchy dense fog in the morning forecast for today. Observations show some around. The good radiational cooling will continue for a few more hours...so the fog should expand somewhat. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday) Issued at 258 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2016 The long term portion of the forecast will start out dry and very warm. It will then transition just a little cooler with some intermittent chcs of rain showing up from mid-week and beyond. The hot and steamy weather should be well south of the area by the beginning of the long term as the cold front will be at least across IN and OH. We will still maintain very warm temperatures with less humidity. A short wave ridge aloft and associated sfc ridge will keep the area dry through at least Tue night. The chance of rain will begin on Wed, however we are not looking at a real good chance until Wed night and especially on Thu. The ridging will shift east of the area later on Tue, and some troughing will start to work into the area. It will take a while for sufficient moisture to advect into the area as the low level flow will need to become srly to tap enough moisture for pcpn. Pcpn does not look to be an all day event. There will be chcs of showers/storms through the remainder of the long term through Friday, but nothing looks too ominous at this time. Heights will lower a little and the upper flow will become more W/NW allowing for some cooler air to seep into the area. The somewhat zonal flow will bring chances for showers/storms vias embedded short waves riding the jet stream from the Pacific NW. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 722 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2016 The shallow fog will quickly dissipate this morning...generally by 13z. Then VFR conditions dominate the day. The wind will be relatively light with high pressure in control. After midnight an area of thunderstorms will be approaching from the west. They will near KMKG first. As a result I did include a VCTS in the forecast for that location prior to 12z Sun. && .MARINE... Issued at 258 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2016 I did feature patchy dense fog for the marine forecast to start the day today. Observation sites along the lakeshore show some thick fog in places. HRRR suggests this fog may extend over parts of the lake. Mid lake buoy has an RH of 100 percent right now. The pressure gradient is rather weak...and will stay that way for the first half of today. The gradient tightens up this afternoon and evening as the next wave of low pressure approaches. A stronger low level jet pivots up through WI and the UP tonight. A complex of storms will likely impact parts of the nearshore waters later tonight or Sunday morning...resulting in locally higher winds and waves. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 1233 PM EDT Fri Jul 22 2016 Thursday rainfall amounts ranged from a tenth to three-quarters of an inch across the whole area... a welcome sight for many. Sunday`s thunderstorms will likely produce a similar range of amounts, although locally higher amounts could occur if the storm mode turns out to be more of a multicell cluster rather than progressive linear like Thursday. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None. LM...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...MJS SHORT TERM...MJS LONG TERM...NJJ AVIATION...MJS HYDROLOGY...CAS MARINE...MJS

This is for the developers of mingle. It was throwing some PHP errors since 5.4, so I did a little cleaning and tweaking. And by little I really do mean very little. I'm going to leave a link to it here, and PLEASE NO ONE USE THIS BUT THE DEVELOPERS!!! I simply tried cleaning it up some, and removing PHP errors, but I want to make sure that this is correct, and I assume no responsibility if you use this.
I don't know if the changes I made affect the original functionality, but I can get it to install now at least, and I will check back to see how it turned out

Killington hosts first annual chili cook-offJuly 18,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON - Calling all chili cooks and enthusiasts: There's still time to register for the parks and recreation department's first annual chili cook-off.
Competitive cooks have until Monday afternoon to visit the park's website at www.killingtonrec.com to download and submit a registration form. There is no cost to enter.
The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. July 25 at Sherburne Memorial Library, and will coincide with live music from Chad Hollister as part of the River Road Concert Series.
Tasting tickets to sample the chili entries are $3 per person. Competitors will be judged and receive awards in four categories: best meat, best vegetarian, people's choice and best of Killington.
There will also be beer on tap for patrons with valid identification.
"We're super excited to add this to our line up," said Lindsay Gang, director of the parks and recreation department. "It combines food, beer and live music. It doesn't get any better than that."MORE IN This Just In
