3. Streaming Media Device
If your video sources are limited to your cable box and Blu-ray player, you're missing out on a lot of great movies and TV shows. Streaming media players such as Roku 2, Apple TV, Vizio Co-star or NetGear Neo TV offer access to huge catalogs of movies, TV shows and music, and viewing is reasonably priced (or sometimes free). The premium video services include VUDU, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HBO2GO and Hulu Plus, but you can also find a lot of high-quality content from services like YouTube or Vimeo (they're not all smirking cat videos).
Netgear's NEO TV can stream audio and video from the most popular media services.
Sure, there's a bit of a quality trade-off with streaming video, but most services offer high definition video (though it's not Blu-ray quality), and some even can get you 1080p. The best video quality can generally be found on VUDU, but the other services are also extremely watchable. (More about streaming media and servers here)
Sony is serious about high-resolution audio, but not necessarily at high prices.

I have been working at Honeywell as an intern for more than a year
Pros – Good experience. Great people. Laid-back work environment. It was an excellent experience working in a professional environment on real-world products.
Cons – Job content was lacking. Not much responsibility or accountability. They don't have much mechanical work (at least in the area I was working in). Mostly working on developing Pro/E models of electrical systems.

Classic suits and casual wear for men and boys, along with a selection of tailored fashions for women. – In Short
While its tradition is steeped in two-piece suits and shirt-and-tie ensembles, Brooks Brothers has grown to accommodate today's more casual styles, as well. The men's collection is head-to-toe complete, from socks and shoes to vests and ties, and includes classic two- and three-button suits, button-down broadcloth shirts, sweaters, sleepwear, outerwear and more. The former boy's club even carries a full line of suits, tailored skirts and dresses, outerwear, and casual styles for women.
State Street Store = Rude – I am a frequest BB customer and own and love many of their suits, shirts, pants and casual wear. I typically shop at the Newbury St store in Boston, but happened to be on State Street today after a meeting and I wanted to just grab a few shirts that I needed. That is the last time I will ever shop at this particular store. The "gentleman" that I worked with was just down right rude. I was sure about some particular measurements on a certain fit on one of their lines of shirts, but he was certain I was wrong, Conveniently, when I asked for him to show me the specs....he couldn't locate them. I'll stick to working with Patrick at the Newbury store.
Consistent and solid – I have been a brooks fan since I can remember, and although it went through a rough patch in the 90's, I think it is back now. Their suits are quite good, and a good value, and their formalwear is excellent. The looks is perhaps a bit whitebread, but they have done a great deal to stay current. I recently had a suit made in their "digital tailoring" department in NYC and have nothing but good thinkgs to say about the expreience. The fit is superb, material excellent and the service was great.
Classic Exellence – Alan Wade, at the 75 State Street Store, is the best clothing consultant that I ahve ever met.

Memphis >Food & Dining > Automatic Slim's Restaurant
83 S 2ND St, Memphis, TN | Directions 3810335.142668 -90.052588
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 2pm;Fri. - Sun. 5am - 10pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown Core, Central, Downtown Medical Center
Possibly the best experience I've ever had!!! – I happened to make my way in to this downtown eatery a few nights ago, a Wed, to be exact. I was told by our very friendly and attentive server that there had been a few changes to the restaurant's theme and that the new chef/manager was taking things in a very different direction. The server also told me that for the next few weeks that the menu would be changing very frequently as the new chef was creating new and exciting menu items to replace the old "jerk" items of the past. It seemed that the new guy, David Schrier, I think, was really proud of using local products, which is a big plus in my book. I had the TN strip steak which was cooked perfectly, and it came with a local blue cheese fondue and hand cut fries. AMAZING! The shared plates were great as well. Bobby, the bartender, mixed delicious martinis (the list had over 50 different ones), all for only $5 a pop. This is a gem of a restaurant, and I wish them the best of luck. I see myself as becoming a regular. I WILL BE BACK!!!!!
Very Different – If you want something different this is the place. Bacon wrapped bananas are a must try. Service was excellent.
awful food, awful drinks, awful service – The food was completley terrible. 4 out of 5 dishes were very cold. One member ordered the Tuna seared rare it came out well done, when they brought her a new one is was just raw. and the chef poured way to much sauce to cover it up. obviously a ticked off move.The rest of us where just hungary cause we waited so long so I ate my cold gross tenderloin. They did take two entrees off but no manager was every seen. The drinks took fiftteen minutes and werent any better. My party was out to celebrate an upcoming wedding and ready to party and spend big, but this place ruined our mood big time. Will never go back and everyone stay away!
Really bad service – We have been to Automatic Slim's three or four times. The first time we were very impressed with the food and the service was reasonable. Our most recent visit will most definitely be the last. The service was the worse I have ever experienced. There were two members of the waitstaff, one male and one female, both of whom served us, but they were extremely busy and the restaurant was clearly understaffed. The waitress had to serve at the bar as well as wait tables. The waiter was both inattentive and downright rude. He made several mistakes with our order, and failed to bring us water on a couple of occasions. When he asked us how the food was, he did not wait for an answer but merely walked away. Our request for the bill was also repeatedly ignored. Also the red snapper was extremely overcooked and very dry. When we complained about the service at the end, the waiter was very defensive and not at all apologetic. We left a full 15% tip, but will never be going back, and will stop recommending the place to our friends. I can only assume that the downtown location has affected the quality. Do yourself a favor and go to the Beauty Shop instead.
Nothing 'automatic' here, other than paying too much – At least it's different but the quality of food is suspect, the place is downtown..not bad for cocktails, etc, but I wouldn't waste my time, there's nothing on the menu that is truly outstanding at all, I think the theme is a bit overdone on the menu...jerkk this jerkkk that, odd combinations of flavours which are not really carribean at all...my take...PASS
Consistently Great! – This is one of our favorite restaurants and we are always satisfied with the food and friendly service. Our most recent visit started with superbly made cocktails and the spring rolls appetizer. We were feeling rather carnivorous on this trip and had the Jerk of the Day, which was a steak and the filet mignon. The jerk steak was perfectly seasoned and not too spicy, and was paired with rice, beans, and plantains. We have tried the jerk duck and that was equally delicious. The filet was cooked to our medium request and was arranged on top of slices of grilled red onion and tomato and topped off with crispy green onions. We are always pleased with the friendly staff, wonderful food, great wine selection, and of course, the cocktails!
ODD – The service was wonderful. I couldnt understand anything about the menu, very pricey on the food and the drinks. The atmosphere is loud but interesting. I'm glad i went but will not go back!
One of Memphis' best – Automatic Slim's is one of Memphis' best restaurants of any kind. The food is simply delicious, and there are always numerous options from which to choose. They have a cocktail menu that changes from time to time, giving a variety of new drinks to try. And their coffee, a Hawaiian hazelnut, is the best coffee I have ever tasted - I wish they sold it in stores. When I want a complete and satisying (good food, service, ambiance) dining experience, this is where I go. When we have guests visit from out of town, this is where my wife and I take them to showcase Memphis restaurants.
The food is as eclectic as the decor is eccentric at this vibrant downtown hangout. – The Scene
Automatic Slim's is simply the coolest place to see and be seen in Memphis--even El-Vez, the Mexican Elvis impersonator, makes regular appearances at this trendy eatery. Some of Hollywood's finest have stopped by, like Susan Sarandon, Tom Cruise and Francis Ford Coppola. It's ecclectic, for sure: Slim's is known for bar sports stools covered in faux-zebra skins and vats of fresh-fruit-spiked vodka.
The Food
The cuisine is Southwestern via the Caribbean, with a twisted skewering of Memphis and New York thrown in to mix things up. As a result, you'll find a menu that bounces from cilantro-studded cheese quesadillas to Jamaican jerk pork and sweet corn muffins. Be sure to save room for the flavorful coffees with dessert.
Eclectic Caribbean – Nice Atmosphere! A welcome change in a city full of BBQ restaurants. Restaurant twists standard caribbean dishes such as jerk with untraditional meats such as duck breast.

MONTROSE – Uninsured Colorado residents, small business-owners and families can now research – and apply for – health insurance and financial assistance based on income for lowering health insurance costs through online insurance exchanges as implementation of the controversial Affordable Care Act draws near.
New enrollment and information resources are available in Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel counties. Funded through a state grant by the nonprofit organization, Connect for Health Colorado, uninsured persons – required to carry health insurance by the federal law that takes effect January 31 of next year – can now compare and enroll with a dozen insurance carriers in Colorado online.
The online marketplaces, called health-care exchanges, created by the 2012 Affordable Care Act, offer a way for insurance companies to compete to make insurance more affordable and drive down overall costs. Currently 18 cents of every U.S. dollar is directed toward health care.
"We're for individuals, small businesses and families that don't have access to to health insurance," said Linda Gann, Western Slope Outreach Coordinator for Connect for Health Colorado, of health insurance facilitators.
Speaking at a forum hosted by the League of Women voters recently at Montrose Memorial Hospital, Gann said Connect for Health Colorado targets individuals making too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but who are not offered insurance from their employers.
"If you have employers' insurance, we're not for you," Gann said. "If you're 65, we're not for you. If you qualify for Medicaid, we're not for you.
"But we can help you get in touch with those people who can help you," Gann said.
There are no costs for the consultations, which start Oct. 1, when insurance companies release rates and start taking applications for enrollment through Jan. 1, 2014.
Those seeking to qualify in the Montrose area can now make appointments through Connect for Health Colorado's new Network Assistance office in the Montrose Chamber of Commerce building at 1519 East Main Street. The office is funded by a grant from Connect for Health Colorado to Volunteers of America, one of several Colorado organizations to receive money from Connect to Health Colorado, who is tasked with administering money funded by the Affordable Care Act. Staff members Lynn Carretta and Alicia Plantz said due to the complexity of the application, walk-in appointments will not be taken but individuals can make in-person appointments by calling 970/252-0660.
In Ouray and San Miguel Counties, the Tri-County Health Network, created by the Telluride Foundation, received $250,000 from Connect for Health Colorado in July to begin helping people in Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride and the West End of Montrose County select and apply of affordable health insurance plans.
Tri-County Health Network representatives are tasked with assisting rural residents, families and small businesses through, free, in-person consultations. Tri-County representatives will travel, by appointment, to meet those interested at zero cost to the applicant.
"Because of its rural nature, our region qualifies as a 'Medically Underserved Community' and 'Health Professional Shortage Area,'" said Lynn Borup, executive director of the Tri-County Health Network. "We have a large, often unhealthy, uninsured population; and it's critical that we help them enroll in insurance programs. The larger the pool of insured, the lower the rates will be for everyone."
San Miguel County residents can call Adrienne Christy or Borup at 970/708-4456 to schedule an in-person appointment. Ouray County residents can call Karen Gualtieri at 970/708-4458 to set up an appointment; Montrose County West End residents can call Thea Wagler at 970/260-2782.
Borup said those with questions can reach Tri-County Network staff and find more information at www.TCHNetwork.org, or by calling 970/708-7096; she added that " a great video" explaining the new program can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Ilc5xK2_E
The application process takes approximately 90 minutes. Consultations are by appointment only, and Borup said the foundation is working with various business in Ridgway and Telluride to try and hold large community forums where lots of people can attend, enroll and apply.
"We can meet them anywhere, at the library or at a coffeeshop, whatever is convenient for them," Borup said.
"We have a 'no wrong-door policy,'" said Carretta. "That means no matter who comes in to apply for medical health coverage, we will get them through the process, whether it's Connect for Health or, if they qualify, for Medicaid. If they don't know what they qualify for, come see us and we'll figure it out. We're trying to find the young and invincible, and trying to reach them is going to be a real challenge.
Due to privacy issues, applicants enter their information just once at www.connectforhealthco.com to shop to compare rates online and determine if they qualify for government aid through tax credits and monthly subsidies.
Applicants can receive more than one subsidy depending on where they land on the government's Federal Poverty Level determination. "It's incredible" how much applicants can save, said Carretta. "We're excited to help people through the process."

ahunda wrote:Yeah, well, Funkyterrance: As I said, I think, you got carried away here & are not seeing things clearly anymore.
The new rules, that were laid down in this thread, might make account sitting abuse a bit more difficult, but they also make life a bit more difficult for all honest & fair players, who only ever sit accounts in real emergencies, as per the official CC rules.
You are mixing up all kinds of issues here and cry for radical measures without even considering their real effects, incl. the side effects for non-cheating, honest & fair players. Now I personally didn´t comment in this thread for 10+ pages. Only when you guys got so far as to call for an all-out ban of all account sitting, did I post. Because this really goes too far, in my opinion.
Why would you want to abolish this practice ? How much positive usage of account sitting would you sacrifice for a very questionable impact on actual cheating/abuse ?
Funkyterrance wrote:So it's settled then, no more account sitting.
crispybits wrote:As I said if clans wanted competitive gaming, then the competitive gamers who very rarely miss turns because the competition is important to them will find each other. If clans want casual gaming, the players who don't mind losing the odd game because someone deadbeats will find each other. If someone wants to go from casual to competitive then they know they have to prioritise it higher.
There are net cafes in every town in the western world. There is internet access on smartphones. If your power goes out both of those are viable options. If your internet is down both of those are viable options. If you have to go out of town on business both of those are viable options. The number of people for whom neither of those are viable options is tiny, and limited to park rangers, professional mountain climbers, etc. If you get sick even most modern hospitals have ways that patients can get online, and if you're really sick or hurt then until you're over the worst of it CC doesn't matter a jot anyway. If a family crisis comes up then CC won't matter anyway.
crispybits wrote:I have at no point claimed that every pro-sitter is a cheat. I have only said that some people will abuse grey areas and loopholes
And well done for having your rank, seriously. It's a testament to your skill and dedication and I respect that. But does that rank on this site mean more to you than any of those things you listed? Does that rank mean more to you than anyone else's versions of anything you listed?
I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm simply saying I want a fair game. That means closing off the loopholes and the grey areas. If that means that for a couple of weeks each year (on average) everyone will suffer a bit of a rankings hit then it's the same for everyone. If I said everyone should drop 100 points right now would that be unfair? Or would it make no difference at all to the overall standings? If I said that those people who don't mind bending the rules as far as they will go all get given an extra 100 points right now would that be unfair? Or maybe a percentage, so a fair player who wouldnt bend any rule gets 0 extra points, and someone who will go half way to the limits gets 50... how about that? Is that unfair?
If you have "agreed to sit" someone's account then that means that they have informed you of there impending absence and thus the emergency one hour rule isn't in effect. You can take those turns at you convenience.stahrgazer wrote:Thing is, crispy, the only "account sitting" rule I signed up for when I signed up for this site was not to abuse it; but abuse wasn't defined as, "you can't take the turn for the account you've agreed to sit unless there's less than 1 hour left to play or you received three people's permission in advance."
Look at it this way. You are NOT required to take those turns. You and/or your clan have the choice of either taking those turns at that undesirable time of day, or potentially letting those turns be missed. As such you can weigh the expected impact and importance of said turns versus the difficulty of taking them at the allotted time. It is your choice how much effort you want to put into your clan's war effort.ahunda wrote: I for one have never ever taken turns for a clan mate in order to gain some advantage, and yet I find the idea, that I might now need to stay up til 2 o´clock at night to cover a turn for someone, who just missed turns in 3 other games, just so that the timer is down to the last hour, a bit irritating. I feel, I am being made to suffer for the abuses of others, by no fault of mine.
Foxglove wrote:
You're a moron. As is FunkyTerrance.
crispybits wrote:OK how about a different solution, and bear with me here because the idea is forming as I write it out.
1) Ban account sitting. Period. No player is ever allowed to log into any other payer's account.
2) For tournaments and clan games only, a feature is coded into the site to allow a nominated substitue to take over a game from another player.
3) If a player goes AWOL (and cases of this will be rare, players being in car wrecks or family emergencies or whatever isn't a common occurence) the substitute can permanently take the place of the AWOL player in any and all of that player's clan/tournament games.
4) No player is allowed to be substituted unless either (a) he is within the final hour of a clan/tournament game turn without having logged in during the duration of that turn or (b) he has already missed a turn in a non-clan game.
5) Tournament organisers, when they set up a tournament game, are allowed to put in a maximum of 2 substitues for any team (subject to their own discretion, they may choose to allow only one or none at all) when they send out the invites. If they have restrictions on who can participate in the tournament then obviously they can also enforce that restriction on who can be named as substitutes.
6) Clan war organisers, when they set up clan war games, are allowed to nominate 2 players per game as substitutes when the game is set up.
7) When the conditions are met when an account sit is allowed by these rules, both substitutes automatically receive a game invite, similar to being invited into an unstarted game, to replace whatever player is AWOL. If either of those people accepts the invite, the substitution takes place.
No player is allowed to be a substitute in a game where they are already playing as part of one of the teams.
9) All substitutions are permanent. If the original player comes back he does not take back his place in that game, and he now only has whatever access to the game that any other 3rd party would have, including not being able to see through the fog.
This removes the grey areas, as players can't log in to anyone else's account and do the morally dubious things that would be possible. As soon as a sit takes place it's clearly visible to everyone that the account has been sat and who has taken over. And everything is visible, above board, legal, and without grey areas or loopholes. It also allows clans to agree on the limits of the sitting allowed during the war, and who is allowed to sit for either side.
It's late here, so I may have missed something, but maybe that's a starting point. I have no idea of the coding complexity or anything else, and I am open to improvements on the basic idea.

The 2013 Kia Sorento is one of the best examples of a "right-sized" SUV – big enough to fit seven passengers in three rows of seats, yet small enough to easily maneuver through traffic and tight spaces. The Sorento's Goldilocks nature doesn't end there. This mid-size crossover offers three engine choices, and perhaps most impressive is the one in the middle, a direct-injection 4-cylinder that offers both power and fuel economy. With its good looks, host of amenities and premium options such as ventilated leather seats, the U.S.-built Kia Sorento is a seriously pleasing family vehicle. Throw in Kia's value pricing and its 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and the Sorento becomes an even more attractive alternative to rivals like the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota Highlander.You'll Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a capable and family-friendly crossover SUV that won't break the bank yet still has plenty of features, put the Kia Sorento on your shopping list.You May Not Like This Car If...
If you regularly need to carry seven passengers and still need room for their gear, the Sorento might be too small. In that case, look to a larger 3-row SUV like the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer or Honda Pilot.What's New for 2013
For 2013 the Sorento receives a new Kia badge up front, leather seating becomes standard for the mid-tier EX trim, and the 3rd-row seats are now standard on LX V6 models and optional on EX V6 and SX trims.Driving It Driving Impressions
Around town or on the open road, the Sorento is a fine travel mate. The SUV is well-mannered, easy to maneuver, and relatively comfortable. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, with all-wheel drive (AWD) optional on all trim levels. In a nice surprise, all-wheel-drive versions have a switch that locks the center differential for better traction on slippery surfaces and for when things get rough on occasional off-pavement excursions. With the base engine, acceleration is adequate, but there isn't much power in reserve for passing. More welcome is the newer direct-injection 4-cylinder engine that is optional in LX models and standard in EX versions. For those wanting the most power and towing capability (up to 3,500 pounds), a V6 is offered across the line. The Sorento's sole transmission is a smooth, refined 6-speed automatic. Seating position is good and interior controls are a cinch to locate and use.Favorite Features
Though it's the same size as the base 4-cylinder, this engine benefits from direct-injection technology, which makes more efficient use of fuel to boost both fuel economy and power.
Rare on a crossover SUV, this feature on all-wheel-drive Sorentos helps the SUV gain better traction in slippery and off-pavement environments.
Peek inside a well-equipped Kia Sorento and you might think you're looking at a car from a premium brand. Details abound on the dash and door panels, and soft-touch surfaces are easy on the eyes and hands. Numerous cloth patterns and leather combinations help the Sorento to further distance itself from the plebeian models of its past. Legroom is good in the 3-passenger second row, but expectedly tight in the 2-seat third row. That last row is best for children, and folds flat when not in use. With both rows folded, cargo capacity swells to 72.5 cubic feet.Exterior
The Sorento has a boxy, angular profile of classic SUVs versus the rotund shape of competitors such as the Nissan Murano. In addition to endowing it with looks that will likely hold up well in the future, they also help make the most of the Sorento's passenger and cargo space. Up front is the new Kia badging surrounded by a honeycomb grille, which itself sits between menacing headlights. Exterior bits vary by model, with higher trims receiving items like silver roof rails and a rear spoiler. LX models ride on 17-inch wheels, and EX and SX trims ride on 18-inch wheels.Notable Standard Equipment
A base 2013 Kia Sorento comes with a 175-horsepower 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, black wood trim, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and AM/FM/CD/satellite audio system with USB and auxiliary inputs. Higher trim levels bring bigger and more power engine choices and features like leather seating, automatic climate control with rear compartment air conditioning, push-button start/stop, and the voice-activated UVO telematics system. Top-line SX models are stuffed with features like heated front seats, a 10-speaker Infinity premium audio system, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.Notable Optional Equipment
Availability of extras depends on trim levels, but Kia has clustered popular options into packages. The Convenience Package on all-wheel-drive base models, for example, includes roof rails, backup warning system, UVO telematics system, and fog lights. EX and SX models include premium packages that include amenities like a navigation system, panoramic sunroof, air-cooled driver's seat, illuminated scuff plate, and heated steering wheel. Note that the packages can cost thousands extra, and are your only way of getting particular options such as a built-in nav system.Under the Hood
The 2013 Kia Sorento offers a choice of three gasoline engines. Its port-injected 2.4-liter 4-cylinder makes 175 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque, while the 3.5-liter V6 turns out a far more energetic 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. The GDI (gasoline direct-injection) 2.4-liter 4-cylinder may be the perfect choice, with 191 horsepower and an EPA estimated 30 mpg on the highway. All versions feature a Kia-designed 6-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic manual shift mode. Towing capacity is rated at 1,650 pounds maximum for models with the 4-cylinder engines and 3,500 pounds for those with the V6.
2.4-liter inline-4
175 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
169 lb-ft of torque @ 3,750 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/29 mpg (FWD), 21/27 mpg (AWD)
2.4-liter inline-4 (gasoline direct-injection)
191 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm
181 lb-ft of torque @ 4,250
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/30 mpg (FWD), 20/26 mpg (AWD)
3.5-liter V6
276 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm
248 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/26 mpg (FWD), 18/24 mpg (AWD)
A base 2013 Kia Sorento has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just under $24,000, which represents a high-value proposition in this segment. Adding all-wheel drive to any model costs roughly $2,000 extra. EX trim models start under $28,000, and top-line SX models go for $32,500. A decked-out SX with all-wheel drive can reach $38,000. At these prices, the Sorento undercuts slightly larger competitors like the Toyota Highlander, Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and Honda Pilot, and is on par with the Chevy Equinox. It is more expensive than the Dodge Journey. Be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what buyers are actually paying for the Sorento. In the long term, the Sorento's resale value is expected to be strong.

I have a ten month old at home and I have thought about switching her to the Go & Grow Formula for older babies within the next 1 to 1 1/2 months...has anyone tried this newer formula? Considering she will start drinking regular cows milk soon, I thought this would be a nice addition to her regular diet.
My daughter is almost 13 months old and we just finished the cans of Similac Advance that we had left. We did a slow transition to whole milk and she is now drinking whole milk no problem. I am supplementing with the GO & Grow formula once a day, morning cup. I feel that since I am not giving her any added vitamins and since she has always been on the low side of the growth charts, a little added nutrition isn't going to hurt. Does she need it? Probably not, she eats so good, but this way I know she is getting the additional nutrients she might be needing. For me it is just a supplement and not a whole milk replacement. Use your best judgement or ask your pediatrician. She has had no problems with a different taste or flavor. She drinks it the same as she drank her regular formula for the last 3 1/2 months. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice. I have done some more research and have decided to continue with the regular advanced formula until she turns one (only about 2 more months), and then switch her to cows milk like you did with your daughter. My baby girl is tall and lean (30th percentile for her age), so I would love to add the Go & Grow as an added supplement once a day as well. She is already on Poly-Vi-Sol for a low hemoglobin count, so switching to an all cows milk diet may not be enough for her. She loves her formula now, so the taste should not be a problem. Thanks again for the advice
My daughter was on Go and Grow for most of this past year and she loved it. She transitioned from her regular formula to the Go and Grow without a problem, and I was really happy with the product itself. Jordan is a small kid and fussy eater, but loved her bottles and milk. She really needed the extra nutrition the Go and Grow gave and we had a really good experience with it.
I have a 13 months old and shes on the Go & Grow Formula and she loves it...My doctor recommended it because she was on Similac advance and when she turned a year I gave her whole milk and she broke out into a rash and I also gave her latose whole milk but she wouldnt take it..But I'm thankful they came out with the Go & Grow Formula because its great and she loves it.

when i did my listening assignment, i chose his version of 'bridgeOTW and there was one girl (yet again she is in to good music and likes another artists version of this song', i asked her how she liked it and she said 'i wanted to cry', others said it was very moving. the sound system had it up loud and it gave me chills up my spine! i dunno how others could not. his voice was so strong and full of meaning, it was just beautiful, and the songs climax and his strong voice, the feeling is indescribable

Bridge over trouble water
I agree totally with 'Elvos'Originally Posted by Elvos
As a 'younger' fan myself being only 18, I think Promised Land will do really well on the charts, especially over here in the UK, It always gives me goosebumps and will definatley make some more younger fans, the same could also be said for
T-R-O-U-B-L-E and Burning Love, the teens now days like the faster rock music as compared to the slower ballad, except of course for me being a fan of Elvis.
Because Elvis sang a lot of styles, I guess one single song wouldn't do it. I would play the following songs:
01) Hound Dog (a classic example of 1950's Rock'n Roll)
02) All Shook Up (my favorite Elvis tune when I was a child)
03) Something Blue (one of the greatest ballads)
04) Long Black Limousine (one of my all time favorites)
05) Promised Land (to show that Elvis still could rock in the 1970's)
06) Trying To Get To You (live, 21.06.1977 - just listen to this!)
I played this song once to a friend who isn'y into elvis at all and he loved it. It's a funky song and one of my favourite 1970 live tracks along with i just can't help believing and let it be me.
its hard to change someones views...i have tried. youve lost that lovin feelin is a great choice. any song like that, where you can hear the intensity in the song and his voice.
Well, I had Elvis as a project in school, and at the presentation I showed my class "American Trilogy" from Aloha, and "Always On My Mind" from Elvis On Tour.
I succeded to brainwash them all
"It is no secret what God can do,
and I believe there will be peace in the valley some day,
so take my hand, precious lord, lead me and guide me."

Bridge Over Troubled Water - April14th 1972

and of course If i can Dream
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
I would chose some good old Rock and roll numbers and ballads
Mean Woman Blues
Treat Me Nice
Too Much Monkey Business
Blue Eyes crying in the rain
Pieces Of My Live
and of course Polk Salad Annie
"Don't Forget me Baby,all you got to do is call"

love song--- gently

rock n roll----dont be cruel
ballad----the fairs moving on
rockin---memphis tennessee (original version)
film song----hot dog
and refering to the songs ELVOS, AND ELV1S said would make good hits if released i disagree mainly because they didnt chart well the first time they were released and also there are plenty more songs not released as singles that could be hits
Have so many...I would blast these songs.
Rockin- Raised on Rock/Tiger Man

Someone once told me 5 years is all you need to start feeling the love and I've passed the 4 year mark (THAT has flown by) with living in Israel and I guess I see the beauty in it now.

What fabric is safest to make a travel pouch for a plastic collectible toy?
Question: Between synthetic fabrics, cottons and leathers, who can tell? I have a 3 3/4 inch collectible plastic toy that fits into my camera bag for various reasons. What is the best way to store it so that it won't get roughed up in my bag/travels?
Answer: Personally, I would use some cotton knit fabric, like from an old white t-shirt (avoid any printing or designs) - it's soft, non-abrasive, and won't give off any harmful fumes.

Which comes first, the woman or the princess?
Booker Prize winner and author of the incredible Wolf Hall Hilary Mantel has unleashed on the Duchess of Cambridge in spectacular style.
Mantel called the former Kate Middleton a "shop window mannequin", a "machine-made" princess "designed by committee" and said she was "without quirks, without oddities, without the risk of the emergence of character."
It's part attack on the Duchess, part attack on the Royal Machine. But the unflattering comparision with her late mother-in-law Diana could be interpreted as nothing less than personal.
"She appears precision-made, so different from Diana whose human awkwardness and emotional incontinence showed in her every gesture."
Mantel goes too far but she does have a point.
It's no co-incidence that any time the Duchess is captured in anything other than knee-length, demure smile, sensible shoe crispness the Palace unleashes its fury.
She may not be the "breeding panda" Mantel describes her as, but you do get the sense a crisis meeting would be called if she were overheard to snort with laughter or express an urgent need for the loo.
No one is that perfect, so unless Kate is the once exception to that rule, the polished, pristine exterior must be just that, an exterior.
No matter how powerful the machine around her, however, Diana proved it won't succeed without a willing subject.
Perhaps Kate and the machine are in it together.

St. Michael says:
"No matter how powerful the machine around her, however, Diana proved it won't succeed without a willing subject."
Let's not forget said willing subject basically went to war against the Royal Family once she decided she didn't want to play by its rules, using her former status as leverage to get herself into the role of the "Queen of Hearts".
You might be a bit young, Tors, but you seem to forget exactly how equivocally Diana was viewed by the British public before she perished at the hands of the Faustian bargain she'd struck with the tabloids. She didn't just invade her own privacy by spilling her guts to Andrew Morton, she invaded that of her husband as well. To say nothing of her cringeworthy appearances with land mine victims and AIDS patients. It was said she was taking a leaf out of the Benetton advertising book: putting herself against backgrounds of ugliness to make herself look better than she was.
The point being: everyone, including Ltd News, manages its PR. The Royal Family is, in today's world, even more under the magnifying glass than they were when half the world was subject to the English throne's whims. I see no sin in managing public presence or public appearances, given virtually every other public institution, business, or government does so. The Royal Family got bitten pretty hard by Diana's antics (and that of Fergie - by which I don't mean the odd American singer whose principal self-described talent seems to be her arse.) I'd wager they don't want to be so bitten again. Consequently I'm sure Kate's already had to jump through god-knows how many hoops to get to the point of married to a monarch. It might be time to back off and let her grow into the role.
Robert S McCormick says:
Kate is no different, with the exception of Harry & Betty, both of whom actually do work & is joined occasionally by William, when he & Kate can drag themselves away from their eternal holidays. Morning sickness notwithstanding, millions of women go through difficult pregnancies every bit as difficult as Kate is reported to have been doing but they keep working right up to the last minute. Why should Kate be any different?
She is just the daughter of a rich, middle class English parents who happens to have married into one of the most dysfunctional of English families.
We may complain about the gravy train our politicians have created for themselves but that fades into insignificance when compared with what the British royal family have organised for themselves & their parasitic hangers-on.
The Queen is reportedly one of the richest women in the world, yet she, her children, her grand-children all loll about with their hands out expecting the British Tax Payers to give them hand-outs, support them in luxury and then when they make their "Private" visits to Britain's former colonies they expect the Tax-payers there to foot the bill!
Kate & William should extract the digit, come down to earth & go back to work. At least if they did that, then British Tax-Payers might get a fraction of value for what they pay out to these two & the rest.
porloc says:
When the Irish Guards were paraded after their return from Afghanistan for presentation of medals by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, there was a moving moment when the Duchess presented a medal to a young legless soldier seated on a chair alongside his comrades. She was so attentive to him and it obviously meant much to him and no doubt to his family. It reminded me of the photos of a young Lady Elizabeth Lyon (the late Queen Mother) with disabled soldiers after the Great War. Although it may infuriate the gossip press she seems an admirable young woman who takes gher duties seriously.
MsEmz says:
Catherine can do nothing right for doing wrong.
People spout on about how she should "get a job" - what excatly would you reccomend? Admin Office staff? Engineer? Fashion Buyer - (which is what she did for a while until press intrusion got to be too much for her and employer)
They carry on about whay she wears and how she looks but if she were to be seen with her hair in a messy ponytail, no make up and ugg boots she'd be dragged through the press for her choices.
As with St Michael - I do think she's had to jump through many a hoop to get to where she is.
She is no Diana (and I am so happy with that) and why should she be. To every woman out there are you a clone of your partners mother?
Prince William and his family are happy with her. Let her be.
Rose says:
Kate is a refreshing change after witnessing the media frenzy that followed Diana wherever she went. Diana was largely an absolutely willing participant in the paparazzi circus she found herself in, wanting to control public opinion and be bigger than the Royal family all by herself. She took every opportunity to stick it to the 'Firm' and, unfortunately, that game eventually cost her her life.
It seems that after losing his mother William wants different terms of engagement. He wants his wife's privacy respected, as it should be, and in turn they turn up all polished and happy whenever duty calls.
I am a staunch Republican but I feel that if there is to be a Royal Family, the new rules are far better and more sustainable than the old!
Neil says:
Giver her a break. She's only in her mid-late 20s. Hilary Mantel looks like she belongs on The Good Life or one of those old 70s sitcoms.
Back then people did have more character. But back then you didn't have the PC tyrants and the tabloid media (well not as much) stalking you and praying for a slip up.
Kate and William can come and get maggoted with me if they want to give them some "character". VB or Tooheys New?
lostinperth says:
Who cares what a self-promoting author with an axe to grind thinks?
Kate seems do be doing alright in the fishbowl she entered into. She seems young, talented and caring and keen to avoid the spotlight that Diana so adored.
Wonder how Mantel would cope with the same scrutiny, criticism and comments about her appearance. Speaking of pandas, Hilary looks a bit ursine herself
Toxic verbal diarrhea says:
Plainly poor form and a PR stunt to sell more books.
What's worse the mean worded stunt or giving it more oxygen here or anywhere else in the MSM.
One can only hope the damages awarded in a deformation suit against the opinionated author can be used to fund a worthy charity of the Princess' choice. Had the Princess said the same of the author the same rules apply.
Shoot your mouth off and pay the fine. It keeps civil society a bit civil and hopefully prevents our demise into pointless personal attacks like this. Canberra could learn something here too.
Bitten says:
I find the use of the Duchess of Cambridge as an all-purpose 'news' item to generate interest in all manner of mundanity by a variety of people - designers (Vivienne Westwood), authors (the charming Hilary Mantel, clearly out for some lovely lovely publicity), 'journalists' (Lucy Kippist/Tory Maguire et al whenever they might have to do a bit of original thinking 'quick, can't we run something about how 'wrong' that nasty smiling, benign-looking Kate Middleton is?') to be distasteful at best and grossly unfair at worst.
She can't respond, she'd just be attacked further. In fact, she's also attacked for failing to respond. Writing drivel about the Duchess of Cambridge seems to be the new go-to for people who can't produce work of quality.
What I find intriguing is the fact that all of the above 'wimmin' would doubtless consider themselves first-class feminists. Women should support each other more, ad nauseum. Yet they get off (and generate publicity for, themselves, their books, their pointless 'opinion' websites *cough*) by attacking a woman who is simply a public character, and a pretty farking benign one at that. Have a problem with the monarchy itself? Attack the institution by all means. Have a go at the Australian public who haven't yet given a Government a mandate to call a referendum, and then voted in favour of a Republic.
The new wife of the second in line is a pretty soft target. It's all a bit transparent, 'ladies'.
Sick of nasty bitches says:
What is it with women constantly slagging eachother off and the backstabbing and bitching?
What did Kate Middleton do to Hilary Mantel? How exactly does Hilary Mantel expect someone who has married into a royal family to behave and dress??
I'm a 35 year old woman and over the years I've become sick to death of catty bitchy 2 faced women to the point where I am now guarded with any women I meet either personally or professionally.
I really can understand women who prefer the company of men.
LJ Dots says:
I've just noticed stories about Princess Di or Princess Mary or Princess Kate (weight, dress sense, pregnancy, morning sickness, marriage, infidelity - whatever) somehow seem to get the most amazing impassioned responses that I find totally confounding.
For most guys, it seems to be restricted to, 'hey, isn't that Pippa's sister?'

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -Oscar Wilde
Recently, Spartan Race has been covering profiles of the awe-inspiring individuals taking part in the Spartan Death Race. An endurance event like no other on the planet that has been taking place every year in Pittsfield since 2005. It's an event aimed at giving competitors the ultimate challenge in the Green Mountains of Vermont and an opportunity for those brave enough to sign up the chance to find themselves and redefine their lives in a backdrop of unforeseeable challenges. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to show that overcoming is worth the effort required to achieve it and being alive is a state of being where death is just a state of mind.
Ax in hand, Ray Morvan, now 48, hacked away at the stump in the ground for over an hour, using his hands at various points to dig and pry at the roots of the stubborn stump to extract it from the ground. He'd removed his bib already that was previously pinned to it and now he worked at the stubborn, heavy stump expertly with his ax. His reward for the task – to carry the heavy piece of wood for the rest of the day. He would DNF that race at the 11 hour mark – his first attempt at the race in the summer of 2009.
In the winter race the following year, he was told to put together a wheel barrow and then cart 12 logs of firewood up the mountain in deep snow. With no easy way to push the wheelbarrow in the drifts of snow, he had to improvise in order to navigate the trail with the heavy logs and cumbersome wheelbarrow to reach the summit. It was a daunting task.
This summer marks the fifth race for the veteran Death Racer, a mortgage banker from Springfield, VT. His first attempt, he weighed in at just about 240 pounds and had recently left rehab for treatment of a drug and alcohol addiction. He was admittedly not ready and when he left at the 11 hour mark, a spark had been ignited. For a man who nearly died in 2002 from appendicitis and has endured more than a dozen abdominal surgeries since, he's no stranger to death and he plans on competing in the race until they won't let him anymore.

Looking for a good book? Then save the date—Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.—to celebrate the publication of Montclair Patch Editor Shelley Emling's new book Marie Curie and Her Daughters: The Private Lives of Science's First Family.
Come buy a copy, hear the author speak, and get your book signed.
So what's the book about? According to a release from publisher Palgrave Macmillan: "Science writer Emling (The Fossil Hunter) reveals a hidden side of the life of two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, co-discoverer of radioactivity and the first to use it as an experimental treatment for cancer. Her plainly told tale relates Curie's struggles to balance her passion for discovery and arduous work as a scientist after her husband and collaborator Pierre's death with the equally challenging task of raising two daughters.
"Drawing on newly available letters between Marie and her daughters, and extensive interviews with Marie's granddaughter, Helene Langevin-Joliot, Emling shows Marie as a loving if often absent mother who encouraged her daughters to pursue their own ideas and passions. Her older daughter, Irene, won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935 for her work with her husband, Frederic, in developing synthetic radioactivity; Marie's younger daughter, Eve, had a flourishing career as an international journalist and humanitarian who in later life worked with UNICEF.
"In this admiring family tale, Emling also reveals for the first time the key role American journalist Missy Meloney played in first bringing Marie Curie on her first trip to America, where she was received by adoring crowds, and then helping spearhead campaigns to raise much needed money to support Marie's work."
