Clothing options for a big & tall guy
I'm a big & tall guy & having a little trouble finding shirts long enough to carry concealed comfortably if I had to bend down to pick up something or reach up high. Any suggestions?
Try King Size Direct: http://www.kingsizedirect.com/ I buy most of my clothes there
I haven't ordered yet, but these were recommended to me for erm uhhhhh other reasons.
You have to get "tall" sizes. XLT, XXLT, XXXLT That's the only way to get them long enough.
I just ordered me a couple of them Longtail T's from Duluth Trading. Cant wait, looks like they'll fill the bill quite nicely ;)
Also look at the Duluth Trading suspenders made to be worn -under- the shirt. I use mine to keep the 1911 from making my trousers sag. I have a good belt and a Crossbreed holster but these suspenders make carrying the 1911 all day a lot easier. I have several of their polo style shirts and they wear like iron. Customer service can't be beat either.
capnklump, their shirts range in regular size and tall sizes. I have the "short sleeve banded bottom no-polo" shirts and am very happy with them. Size is a regular length size 2XL. I'm
6'1" and ah, fluffy, but a 3X shirt was much too large. Tall length is 6'1" - 6'4" in the catalog. Sizes ran a bit large but their customer service is great so exchanges are very smooth. They also have an extended length T-shirt to eliminate "plumbers' butt". Duluth Trading Company P.O. Box 200 Belleville, WI 53508-0200 1-800-505-8888

You're Still Modeling Growth Incorrectly
When I first got the job running marketing at Mint, founder and CEO Aaron Patzer told me that we had to get Mint to 100,000 users within six months of launching. The number itself didn't intimidate me: Before Mint, I had been Facebook employee No. 30. I'd witnessed crazy, exponential user growth first-hand. The difference was that at Mint, we were pre-product and certainly… Read More

Finance Is Boring? Mint Competitor Adaptu Hits The Deadpool
Intuit's Mint has one less competitor now. Adaptu, a Portland-based startup that positioned its mobile wallet as an alternative to Mint, is closing its doors. The company announced the change via its website and in emails to its subscriber base. According to the company, the decision was made because Adaptu didn't want to have to transition away from its free model in order to… Read More

Revealed: Mint.com Could Soon Fire Back At Simple With A Debit Card Of Its Own
Earlier today, online banking startup Simple unveiled new reporting features that will allow users to see how much — and where — they're spending money in their bank accounts.

Intuit Founder Scott Cook: Mint Is Roughly 4X Bigger Than It Was Pre-Acquisition
Scott Cook started Intuit in 1983, and since then he and the company have overcome quite a few obstacles. He watched as mobile became a dominant channel in people's lives, found ways to penetrate emerging markets, and leveraged Intuit's excellent reputation to pick up the hot new kid on the block, Mint.com. The acquisition went down in 2009, two years after Mint launched on… Read More

The Mint Automatic Roboswiffer: Like Roomba but more like Robocop

Persephone - Brooklyn Academy of Music
In Greek mythology, Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, was a fetching young woman whose beauty set Hades' dark heart ablaze. He had to have her, and so he did, spiriting her into the depths of the Underworld. In collaboration with composer Ben Neill, singer/actor Mimi Goese, and Tony Award-winning playwright Warren Leight (Side Man) -- and featuring Julia Stiles (Bourne films, Oleanna on Broadway) in the title role -- Ridge Theater (Lightning at our feet, 2008 Next Wave) reimagines the myth as a spectacular 19th-century theatrical tableau. Infused with rock and electronica, as well as evocative visuals, this work creates a fantastic mythical landscape that paves the way for Persephone to find her way home, only to return her to the Underworld forevermore.

Gong Show Live Halloween Party - BB King's Blues Club & Grill
In an event especially suited to Halloween, New York's most bizarre, deranged and hilarious theatrical stage show, Gong Show Live (www.gongshowlive.net), returns to BB King's on 42nd Street in Times Square for a special Halloween show on Sunday, October 31 at 8 pm. Gong Show Live showcases original, offbeat talent acts performing for an audience and three judges, using the same format and spirit of the pioneering '70s TV show, The Gong Show. Acts deemed unbearable are "gonged," and/or ridiculed by both the judges and audience members. Producer Leslie Gold said, "The original Gong Show's variety, humor and surprise elements made it not just memorable, but set precedents. There'd be no General Larry Platt, no America's Got Talent, Big Brother or the others without The Gong Show. Our show brings all of the fun and lunacy of the TV show to a theatrical stage production, and there's truly nothing like it." In addition to the talent acts, Gong Show Live's entertainment quotient is augmented by its host, comedian Ray Ellin; three judges - Chuck Nice, Leslie Gold "The Radiochick" and Dan Naturman - known from their work in standup comedy, TV and radio; casting by Robert Russell, renowned for the New York casting of hit reality TV shows including The Bachelor, The Apprentice, Big Brother, The Restaurant, Moment of Truth, and NBC's Phenomenon; and the four-piece Gong Show Ten Orchestra, led by veteran drummer Sandy Gennaro (Cyndi Lauper, Bo Diddley, Joan Jett). Gong Show Live even has its own updated versions of two of the original TV show's most popular performers, "Gene Gene the Dancing Machine" and "The Unknown Comic." More than 350 talent auditions were screened for the premiere of Gong Show Live, staged at BB King's in August. Press response includes: "Packed with shock value" (Good Day New York, WNYW-TV Fox 5); "Chuck Barris would be proud" (NBC NY.com); "Jaw-droppingly hilarious" (Valerie Smaldone, WOR-AM); "Truly frightening" (Verizon FiOS1 News); "A huge success" (Nora Nolan, WomanAroundTown.com); and "The Gong Show is back and better than ever" (Josh Estrin, Pop Culture Examiner). These and other performers will be featured at Gong Show Live Halloween Party at BB King's on October 31: • Chipps Cooney – Comedian/illusionist from Edgewater, NJ who made it to top 30 of America's Got Talent • Cultured Kramden - Ralph Kramden reincarnated as an erudite scholar • Heidi the Yodeling Guy - A goat-milking, yodeling, frenzied phenomenon from Las Vegas • The Amazing Amy – Elderly female contortionist from NYC who performs to a Star Trek theme and who was rejected by America's Got Talent • April and May – Female ventriloquist from Hell's Kitchen, NYC who delivers singing telegrams by day and whose act (as seen on Rachael Ray, The Soup, and Last Comic Standing) often ends with her in her underwear • Wild Cherryz Burlesque Troupe – Long Island ladies with hot bodies and a steamy burlesque act • Jessica Delfino – Avant-garde New York comedian who sings a public service announcement while accompanying herself on the rape whistle • The Single Mommas - New Jersey/Washington, D.C. trio with a "pregnant" new twist on Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" • Wonder Boy, The Interpretive Dancing Robot – Lifeguard/aspiring NYC firefighter by day who whose mother really is a clown Last-minute acts selected from the show's audience will also be selected to perform.

Intermezzo - New York City Opera Company
Inspired by an incident in his own marriage, Strauss's lighthearted domestic comedy creates an artistic rendering of his relationship with his temperamental yet charming spouse. Soprano Mary Dunleavy embodies the hot-headed wife who jumps to conclusions after intercepting a misdirected love note addressed to her husband, sung by baritone Nicholas Pallesen. In crafting the libretto to this rarely performed work, Strauss pioneered a new genre of opera where everyday events--phone conversations, ice skating parties, card games--become the subject matter. The plot unfolds in a series of short vignettes with orchestral interludes following the fast-paced action in this witty production directed by Leon Major. http:///
A Quiet Place - New York City Opera Company
Leonard Bernstein's final stage work receives its long-awaited New York premiere. "A Quiet Place" was originally written as a sequel to his "Trouble in Tahiti", which perfectly captured the jazzy heartbeat of 20th-century America. That popular one-act satire is incorporated as a flashback when the estranged family reunites at a funeral after 20 years. The eloquent libretto by Stephen Wadsworth reveals a moving parable of alienation, strife, and reconciliation in a dysfunctional middle-class family.

Nicole Scherzinger's man considers marriage
Nicole Scherzinger's boyfriend would love to be engaged before the year is out.
The singer and her Formula 1 ace beau Lewis Hamilton have been in an on/off relationship since 2008, although things have got more serious over the last few years.
There has been a lot of speculation about when they will tie the knot, with Lewis explaining he is starting to feel ready to take the next step.
"We've been together for five years, which is quite a milestone really," he told British newspaper The Sun. "But hopefully in the near future. Maybe before we get to six years."
Nicole and Lewis have conflicting schedules but do their best to make as much time for each other as possible. Last year she was a judge on the UK version of The X Factor and he regularly turned up to support her backstage. She also travels to be with him when he is competing in races.
"You kinda have to look at the schedules because people will put something in any time that you have off and we're always working. We have to be like, 'OK, this week I'm going to try to make it to this race, if I don't, I've got this performance here; what can you do?' Every minute counts, you know?" Nicole explained earlier this year.
Last year, the star hinted that her relationship hasn't always been easy. She explained her view of romance isn't as rosy as some people's as she doesn't believe in fairytales. Instead Nicole is proud to be with someone who is willing to work at a relationship and who she trusts and can communicate with.
Rumours Nicole, 34, and her 28-year-old boyfriend were serious about each other first started in 2011, when her father publicly claimed they were engaged.
"You know about the proposal? Yes they are engaged," he said. "My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down-to-earth. My family all like him. The good spirit is there."
Nicole's representative quickly shot down the speculation.

Hey all. My name is Dot, I obviously miss Sirius very much, as well as most of the characters who died in DH, considering all my favorite characters DIED! I do write HP fanfics, but I only posted one and it's not on this site, just because I'm so lazy and I figured I'd post all my fics through one site. Well, contact me if you want to know anything (within reason). Cheers!
M-A-ZING!!! So addicting!!! I love how you incorporated Buffy. I've watched the show but can never get time to see it when it's on.I might show this to my sister who started me on HP eight years ago and who loves Buffy. Great work! Update soon!!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: yeah, i love buffy, but i dont think im going to do that anymore. it was actually surprisingly difficult. but do introduce the story to your sister. i find that a lot of HP fans who are also Buffy fans tend to dig the story.
I started reading this not that long ago- maybe 3 weeks. Then I saw that it had been a while since the last updateso I checked back today and looky what I found! Please update (I'm an impatient person ; ) ) Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: thank you. i have a lot of stuff going on right now, so i predict it will be another week before i can update, but it wont be as bad as before. i dont plan on having that happen again. thanks for the review, and feel free to leave more. ;)
That was beautiful, MoonysMistress. I'm all choked up... 9/10
Aww! How sweet! I always imagined what it would be like if I got a letter...
Good stuff... Good stuff... Gah, I'm addicted! Why you people who write these stories?! Why! Now I'm wasting the last few days of my summer vacation on this when I should be out enjoying the freedom. At least it's raining, that's one excuse. It's a very good type of waste though. For some reason, in the previous one (I think...) I found it amusing when Dumbledore said "...you hear?" Well, keep doing what you're doing, hope you update soon!
Author's Response: Hmm. Perhaps Dumbledore\'s response was not, perhaps, entirely in-character...but it does work. I\'m so glad you liked my story! Update is in the works!
I'm a very big shipper on Lupin/Tonks- I just realised this. You write very well. Something with my stories, they never comeout right, so I'm not even going to bother putting them on here or trying to. Once again, very good.
I love this series. I'm commenting on the whole story since currently this is the newest chapter; but, i hope that will change soon. PLEASE WRITE MORE!!!
Okay, I'm a bit later than the other reviews but better late than never. I loved this. Typically I only review when I really like stories so if someone gets my review usually that's good. I'm starting to write Lupin/Tonks fan-fics. Trouble is I nver like my writings. You're really good though. Keep up the good work!
I like it! Keep up the good work! (Is it just me or did I just sound like a teacher giving a grade to a student?! lol.)
Awesome! I really like it! I wish I could read all of the reviews but I can't because the neavigation column moved over and now I can't see the first about 15 letters or so. Sorry to be doing this on the review board but did anyone else have this problem? Well, I really liked the story, update as soon as possibly possible!
Wow... I started reading this but soon didn't have time to finish it. Now I just read chapter 19 and I'm in awe. I love it!!! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thanks ever so much, I\'m really glad you liked it. Two chapters left now, don\'t forget to read them, too! PS - I miss Sirius too.
Very good. I can't wait for the next installment. It's very believable. Some stories on here are not. Please write the next one ASAP.
That was great. You're one of my favorite (If not my definate favorite) fanfic authors. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
P.S. I like how you incorporate songs into your stories. Bloody Brilliant!
Author's Response: *blush* Aww, thanks! And the idea of song incorporation is so not mine. I stole the idea of songfic from someone else (dunno who, but I wish I could give credit where credit is due). Thanks again! P.S.: I miss Sirius too. :(
I really like it!! It's so cute! Thanks for writing!
Author's Response: Thanks.
Lovely idea, lovely fic- simply lovely.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! :-) Glad you like it.

Assembly makes plans to set a spiritual fire
Ed Langlois and Clarice Keating
Monday, November 19, 2012 9:01 AM
Catholic Sentinel
photos by Ed Langlois
As Father Bill Holtzinger of Grants Pass listens, Alma Rosa Alvarez of Our Lady of the Mountain Parish makes a point during discussions at the Archdiocese of Portland Pastoral Assembly.
The Pastoral Assembly drew 300 delegates from 95 parishes.
New council chosen
The Archdiocesan Pastoral Council began in 2000. Early on, it had a hand in a pastoral statement on the Columbia River watershed and a letter on combatting racism. In 2003, it chose three ministry priorities for the local church: faith formation at all levels, youth and young adult ministry and an embrace of cultural diversity.
The council helped set a course and policy during the Archdiocese of Portland's bankruptcy.
Other projects have included integrating social justice in parishes, speaking out on immigration, advising on an archdiocesan capital campaign, fostering vocations and setting course for a response to the Health and Human Services mandate.
Here are newly elected regional representatives of the council, who will likely be advising a new archbishop as Archbishop John Vlazny retires:
Terri Keefer — Albany-Corvallis/Santiam
Frederick Schulz — Beaverton Suburban
Peter Bosserman — Columbia County/North Coast
Jonathan French — Downtown Portland/Southeast Portland
Henry Gyanti — East Portland Suburban/South Portland Suburban
Michael Whitney — Metropolitan Eugene
Stephanie Thompson — Metropolitan Salem
Frank Rego — Northeast Portland
Dawn Crow — South Coast
Timothy Kirsch — Southern Oregon
Pierre van der Sluys — Tualatin Valley
Kathy Sabel — West Portland Suburban
Maria Marquez — Yamhill County/Marion County
Archbishop John G. Vlazny, known for an amiable nature and a resounding laugh, on Saturday told western Oregon Catholics to set their joy loose.
"All those frowning, serious Catholics intent on straightening all of us out won't be very effective in carrying out the works of the New Evangelization," said the archbishop, speaking to 300 parish leaders at the Archdiocese of Portland Pastoral Assembly. "Ultimately, our church is about a yes, not a no."
Theme for the gathering was "Setting Faith Afire," taken from the words of Jesus in Luke 12:49: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing."
During one prayer, the assembly sought "a willingness to live and proclaim the Good News of Jesus."
"How can we set Oregon on fire for God? How do we set ourselves on fire?" asked Clint Bentz, outgoing president of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council, which leads the triennial gathering.
The assembly gave input on potential pastoral priorities for the archdiocese. The new council will discuss and discern, handing on recommendations to the new archbishop when he arrives. Possibilities include improving access to resources for outlying and smaller parishes, ministering to youth and young adults, reaching out to inactive Catholics, strengthening Catholic identity, sharing of best practices at parishes, enhancing communications and the use of media and technology, fostering social justice and cultural diversity and supporting family life.
Archbishop Vlanzy opened the assembly with a hope that the weekend would send people back reignited in their faith and fired up to serve and evangelize.
In what was likely his last address to the body as spiritual leader of western Oregon Catholics, he sought a way forward as a follow-up to his 15 years of ministry focused on inviting people into relationship with Jesus.
"You can't go make disciples unless you come to Jesus first," the soon-to-be retired archbishop told parish leaders. "We serve not a something, but a someone."
What's new about Catholicism's New Evangelization is that it applies to believers as well as non-believers. The church, the archbishop said, is now hoping to reach those for whom "the salt of belief has lost its flavor and the light of faith has grown dim."
Archbishop Vlazny said too many believers have an "inadequate grasp" of the beauty and power of faith, and so lose it easily.
There are 400,000 people in western Oregon who identify themselves as Catholics. About 100,000 attend weekend Masses.
"Secularization has invaded almost every aspect of daily life," the archbishop said. Modern media and culture, he added, have fostered "superficiality and selfishness."
The best response, he explained, is to follow Pope Benedict's advice and start with finding common ground with those in and out of the church, all of whom are seekers like us.
Archbishop Vlazny said his chief pastoral goal is to have someone who now lives in western Oregon be named a saint. "I think an Oregon saint would confound all the media analysts," he said, sparking a big laugh and applause.
The archbishop reported good progress, but more work to do, on all three pastoral priorities set down in 2003: faith formation at all levels, youth and young adult ministry and an embrace of cultural diversity. A bankruptcy of more than two years, brought on by clergy sex abuse suits, slowed but did not halt efforts, he said.
The number of seminarians has surged under his tenure, with 42 now in formation.
In the past few years, the archbishop has worked to unify Catholics who focus on ending abortion with those who give energies to other causes of justice and peace. He blended the offices of pro-life activities and justice and peace, explaining that both are founded on respect for the dignity of life and the option for the poor.
Keynoter Kate Barrett, who coordinates Year of Faith efforts at the University of Notre Dame, said the year proclaimed by Pope Benedict "gives us the opportunity to refocus and deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ." Just like any other long-time relationship, she said, when you put work into rekindling that relationship, it strengthens the bond. Everyone should pray for that kind of relationship with God, she said. "We know he is waiting with open arms to welcome us back."
Barrett explained the many ways she and her colleagues are encouraging students to celebrate the Year of Faith, like designating November as time for "sacred places." Students are asked to reserve time every day for reflection and prayer in a place that is sacred to them.
The assembly drew participants from 95 parishes.
Assembly members — pastoral council leaders and priests from all over western Oregon — discussed what is needed at their parishes.
Kathy Sabel of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Portland hopes worshipers from different Masses can get to know each other and act as a single dynamic community. Sabel was elected to the new Archdiocesan Pastoral Council.
Father Mark Gikenyi, administrator of St. Cyril Parish in Wilsonville, would like to see increased outreach to the sick and the poor.
Dennis Freiburg of St. Francis Parish in Sherwood advocates establishing strong unity and vision. "I want to see us integrate our ministries into something we can light on fire," Freiburg said.
Eileen Goodwin of Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Lake Oswego says she wants to see young people fall in love with the church she loves so much.
Father Mike Walker of Shepherd of the Valley Parish in Central Point suggested that parishes design their welcome to be of interest to "anyone who is a seeker." The welcome offered by the assembly and the liturgical music are two main factors for why visitors return to the parish, Father Walker said.
Stephanie Sanders of St. Edward Parish in Lebanon said that a little effort in child and youth ministry can be fruitful. Sanders reported that the number of youths active in her parish's religious education classes has jumped from 30 to 200 in three years.
Msgr. Chuck Lienert, a retired pastor and archdiocesan official, gave a presentation on the Second Vatican Council, which opened 50 years ago. Vatican II, he said, began like the pastoral assembly — seeking input on pastoral needs from all kinds of people and regions.
Vatican II would emphasize the idea of the church as the People of God, not erasing hierarchical structure but adding to it. Today's church representative groups like the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council owe their existence to Vatican II, Msgr. Lienert explained. The council fathers saw consultation and consensus as "a way to fulfill the evangelizing role of the church."
Like Vatican II, local councils should produce a vision, Msgr. Lienert concluded. Then the councils can evaluate, seeing what worked and what didn't.

Electric Float Switch
An electric float switch is a device that is designed to measure the water level in a tank. It can be used in a variety of electric devices from a pump to an alarm, indicator and more. Float switches vary in size and complexity. An example of a simple float switch is a mercury switch located inside a hinged float. While a complex float switch could comprise of a series of optical or conductance sensors that alert you as and when the liquid reaches different levels in a tank.
Listed below are a few questions answered by the electricians on electric float switches.
My cistern has a 200 volt submersible pump. Can I fix a float switch into one of the hot wires of either the submersible pump control box or the pressure switch? Will it be a problem if one of the hot wires is trying to operate the pump?
What you are contemplating doing is quite common. In most cases, a float switch would break both legs of power. But there are cases where a single pole float switch can be used to switch one hot leg of 220 volt power frequently. As long as the float wiring interrupts one leg of power it's fine. However, if you can figure out a way by which one leg of pump power is always active at the pump, it would be useful in case you need to troubleshoot the system later.
Can I use a float switch in an underground cistern to control a shallow well jet pump that lies above the ground?
Case details: Pump specifications - 1/2 hp, max amp load of 12.4 amps at 115 volts, Float switch specifications - rated for a 1/2 hp pump, max pump run of 13 amps at 120 volts. The normally closed contact of a flexible 16 gauge three wire cable will be used to switch on a light when the water is low.
Since you're float switch is rated for 1/2 HP, it means that the manufacturer has designed it to allow for higher start currents. When the pump is active, the lamp won't light so the system won't have more than 12.4 amps of power running through it.
I need to connect a 110 float switch to a 220 pump. How do I do this?
Case details: Pump motor specifications - 220 v 1/2 hp Franklin motor.
It's quite simple. Just wire the float switch into one of the 220v legs. After you connect 220v to one side of the switch, connect the pump to the other side of the float.
My boat has a bilge pump with a 3 position switch. If I turn it to the right, it activates manual control, left is automatic and tuning it to the centre switches it off. When it's in the automatic position and the water level rises, an integral float switch turns on the pump. Can I wire a relay into the circuitry to prevent it from draining my battery when the switch is not active?
To do this, first connect a common (12 Vdc -) wire to one side of the relay coil and a keyed hot wire—which is a wire that becomes hot only when the key is turned ON—to the other coil terminal.
The normally open (N.O) contacts, which are what the power for the float switch or the pump flows through, close once the key is turned on. If the pump is operated by the float, route one of the float leads through these N.O. contacts on the relay. When you examine the relay you will notice a common terminal on it that forms a part of a set of contacts. N.O. and N.C. (Normally closed) will be the other related terminals. Use the set of N.O. contacts to complete your job.
Do preventive maintenance regularly to ensure that your float switch doesn't malfunction and cause considerable damage. For example if your pump float isn't working well, it could lead to water damaging all the possessions stored in the basement due to a flood. However, ensure that you always wear rubber boots before troubleshooting the problem, since water is an excellent conductor of electricity. If you are unable to solve the problem yourself, ask an expert to help you find the right solution.

Randy Policar, 32, of Tempe, Ariz., reviews the expanded Disney California Adventure.
When did you first visit a Disney park?
How often do you visit Disney parks?
We go to Disneyland Resort on average 24 days per year.
Favorite Disney park?
Favorite Disney character?
Donald Duck.
How do you normally visit?
Generally I spend a three or four day weekend with my wife and we spend almost all day jumping between Disneyland and California Adventure.
When did you first visit California Adventure? What was your overall first impression?
I first visited California Adventure in 2002. At first, it seemed like a great idea that wasn't executed great. It felt like it was missing something. Also, once you did Soarin', there was not a whole lot else to do.
Did you miss anything from the old California Adventure?
Engine-Ear Toys. They always had interesting things to look at and I loved the make your own Mr. Potato Head.
When did you check out the California Adventure expansion?
I attended the Annual Passholder Preview on June 9.
Were you more or less impressed on this visit than when you first visited the park?
I was way more impressed. Walking into to Cars Land, I really felt like I had been transported into the movie. The rock work really looked authentic, and it was as if I was walking through the desert I had driven through to get to Anaheim. Buena Vista Street was a really nice upgrade as well. All the new storefronts meshed together, giving it a very good flow. In the old entrance, it felt like it was a bunch of separate entities and there was no feeling of being anywhere special when you first walked in. Buena Vista Street made you feel like you were in a different time period. The Carthay Circle building looks incredible as well, it really stands out as a landmark for the park.
What did you think of the rides?
I was pleasantly surprised by Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. I thought it would be more of a kid's ride along the lines of the Chew-Chew Train or Casey Jr., but it was not at all. It was very entertaining and the music was quite catchy. Luigi's Flying Tires have a lot of potential, and once you get the hang of them they are quite fun. But it was obvious that a lot of people did not understand how to operate them. Radiator Springs Racers far exceeded my expectations. After hearing about it for so long and seeing the videos, I thought there would be no way it could be as great as it was built up to be. It was better. The way it jumps from scenic drive through the Cadillac Range to the dark portion where you feel like you are really in the movie and then right back into the exhilarating race part, it was pretty incredible. It wasn't too intense for non-roller coaster people, but it offered enough of a thrill that the more adventurous people will love it. And the fact that there are two different versions makes you want to keep riding.
What did you think of the atmosphere?
Cars Land was really amazingly well done. They didn't miss any detail, even down to the blinking yellow light. More so than any other place in Disney parks I've been, I really felt like I was in the movie "Cars." Buena Vista Street really had that old-time feel. The store fronts looked authentic to the time and it really was like going back in time.
What did you think of the shops?
The Cars Land merchandise was very original, although I would have liked a hat or a T-shirt with simply the Cars Land logo. I thought they did a really nice job tailoring some items to very specific themes, like the Low and Slow collection.
What did you think of the food?
The create your own ice cream bar on Buena Vista Street was a favorite, as was the collectible Cozy Cone Sippers. There was plenty of variety to choose from, that's for sure. The gourmet sandwiches available on Buena Vista Street were a nice alternative to the heavy burgers and fries that are more prevalent throughout California Adventure.
What advice and tips can you offer for someone visiting California Adventure?
Be prepared to wait a long time for the new rides. I would suggest doing the single-rider line for Radiator Springs Racers if you can. Even though you may be riding apart from your group, a 10-minute wait sure beats a 90-minute wait. If you want to eat at the Cozy Cone, do it before or after the traditional meal times, otherwise you will be waiting a long time.
What needs the most improvement?
The wait time for the Flying Tires is a problem. Cast Members have to collect the "flags" before starting the ride, and if there is a handicap rider, that will add 5 or so minutes to the wait, as they have to collect their tire, bring it into the handicap section, then let it out again.
Do you expect that you will visit California Adventure more often now? Why or why not?
I think we will probably visit more often, because now an entire day can be spent in California Adventure. Before it was get a fast pass for Soarin' or Grizzly River Run, then wait in line for Toy Story and you were done.
If there was any Disney or Pixar character or movie you could add to the Disneyland Resort what would it be and why?
I would like to see more of a Muppet presence, because that is something my generation can share with the younger generation. With the success of the new movie and the planned sequel, it's a chance to introduce them to a whole new group of kids.

PINOLE — Police are renewing their call to be careful when making transactions via Craigslist, after an Oakland man was robbed at gunpoint and his friend stared down a gun in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant.
The robbery occurred about 9:25 p.m. Sunday after the 20-year-old victim responded to a Craigslist ad from Vacaville regarding car parts for sale, Pinole police Cmdr. Pete Janke said. The victim and the advertiser, who identified himself to the victim as "Arthur," set up a meeting in the parking lot of Wendy's at 1581 Fitzgerald Drive, Janke said.
The suspects escaped in what is described as a gold, four-door Toyota Camry LS but not before a passenger in that car pointed a gun at the victim's friend, Janke said. The Camry LS was manufactured between 1995 and 2000, the front and back windows are tinted, and the California license plate number is similar to 41SF770, Janke said.
The victim, who was driven to the Wendy's by a friend, arrived to find the suspect vehicle in the lot with two people inside of it. When the victim approached, the suspect told him the car part he wanted to buy was in the back seat and to get into the car, Janke said.
When the Oakland man complied, the suspect pointed a rifle at him, Janke said. The victim handed over his cash but refused to hand over his cell phone and tried to get out of the car, Janke said.
The suspect grabbed the man's wrist, but the victim escaped and ran to his friend's car. The two suspects then drove away, Janke said.

fantastic, Even the king couldn't have done this better :))))
"why do people always do that…always gotta putdown other people,s
achievements…what have you done …buttfungus , that makes you such a
critic…what have you achieved in your life , that makes you so damned
perfect…the man can sing n, play music….so he sounds similar to
elvis…thats a compliment to the man…:(
fantistic . ..i can fall asleep in his arms
I love Elvis the most, but I also like Rick, Elvis recorded the song Fools
Rush In after Rick had a hit and Elvis sang it just the way it was done by
Rick, James Burton played the guitar on both versions.
"Sensitively-voiced." 😀
IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU (Jimmy Wakely / Fred Rose) NOT HANK
WILLIAMS Sr. Still a great song and Chris Isaak does it justice!!!!!!!!!!
To all the haters out there, I love Elvis above all singers, and Chris
Isaak does this song very well!
I agree 100%
right? i found some info saying Fred Rose and Jimmy Wakely wrote it. Rose
worked with Hank, helped Hank with a lot of his songs, and Acuff-Rose
published all Hank's tunes. So maybe they're just wrong about Hank writing
it. Doesn't sound quite like a Hank song to me.
Written by Hank Williams?? Never heard this one.
Lovely. Seeing him this weekend in KC.
Niñomt you talk shit about Rick, wake up
a real artist ,beatiful voice perfect pitch, complete dedication to text, a
truly beatiful man,, whom sings from the heart, what more could you ask for
,not many around like this any more.
If you think about it, this is the perfect song for Chris! It walks the
line between countrry and Rockabilly which Chris has walked his entire
Elvis sang it better at 19 yrs. old. Chris Isaak has always been an Elvis
wannabe, almost as much as Ricky Nelson. But at least Chris Isaak admires
and loves the KING. Ricky Nelson waited constantly to see what Elvis would
do and then try to copy the hell off of it. Nice singing Chris. Even though
you are trying your best to sound like your hero.
Just saw him at the Thousand Oaks civic center, what a great entertainer.

I know what you're thinking when you see the word "retro", but don't worry Another Star actually looks the part. It does a similar thing to You Have To Win The Game and gives you a slightly bendy screen to make it all more authentic and I love it.
The developer has stated at the end of last month that the Linux version will come in the next update!
What do you think to this one? I've grown tired of "retro", unless it's used like this to be a more authentic experience rather than just going for x-bit graphics to be "cool".
I asked the developer when the Linux version will be up:
QuoteShould be up on Desura before the end of the week, depending on how backed up they are when I upload it.
I will be watching Another Star with great interest.
Another Star is a console-style RPG like none you've ever played before! Which is really just marketing-speak for "it's like every other RPG you've ever played, except it has a few things that make it feel new, different and exciting".
The game is an 8-bit console-style RPG crammed into a single 128×128 tile sheet, Another Star still manages to bring you a vast world to explore. Secrets are hidden everywhere, and you never know what you might find on the next screen. Those who take the time to explore instead of merely rushing to the next objective are certain to be rewarded.

Celebrate 30 years of Pac-Man with free game on Google
Google is marking the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man with its own unique "title bar" on the Google home page today. Sure, it's cute, but it's also a workable game! Goodbye productivity! Hello, headphones (it has the original game sounds!) and video games for the rest of Friday.
Technically, Pac-Man's 30th anniversary is May 22, so look for my hard-hitting, investigative introspective piece tomorrow. For today, just enjoy the game.

NEW YORK ( The Deal) - It's hard to imagine an auction making as much noise or generating as much heat as the one about to end for Hulu LLC. Yet the auction's diverting asides have never repudiated the notion that the current field of Hulu contestants has just one logical buyer: Yahoo! Inc ( YHOO). Let's begin with the assumption that Hulu's active owners -- Walt Disney Co.'s ( DIS) ABC and News Corp.'s ( NWSA) Fox, alongside passive owner Comcast Corp.'s ( CMCSA) NBCUniversal LLC -- really do follow through on a sale. That's hardly a foregone conclusion given that these same owners halted a Hulu auction in 2011 and pulled back from an initial public offering in 2010. Those two false starts, however, suggest the third time will be the charm. Otherwise, on contemplating the fallout from a third failed attempt at changing Hulu ownership inside of four years, the operating metaphor would be "strike three!" Let's also recognize Hulu's intrinsic appeal to strategic prospects, whether they're cable companies, satellite broadcasters, media consortia or Internet companies. The deep pockets therein, once coupled with the synergy or utility a sale would bring to any winner of this type, give these strategics the ability and the justification to offer more for Hulu than any financial sponsor could responsibly pay. Doesn't even matter if a would-be financial sponsor teamed with a strategic, or something akin to a strategic, on meeting this week's deadline for final bids. The high internal rates of return demanded by private equity should be enough, ultimately, to keep financials suitors at bay. Nonetheless, on leaving the field to strategics, it's important to note that they're not all the same. An important distinction, for example, is whether they already buy content from ABC, Fox and NBC. Cable companies and satellite broadcasters do buy such content, which means Hulu's sale to any of them would keep the number of content buyers in the sales universe of ABC, Fox and NBC exactly the same. It also means Hulu's selling networks would render themselves vulnerable to two-for-one pricing demands from an existing content buyer who then begins negotiating for that same content, again, as Hulu's new owner. This process would be aggravated -- probably to the point of managerial paralysis, considering the inability of just ABC and Fox to agree on Hulu's direction -- if a consortium of content-buying distributors were able to mount a winning club bid.

Ricky And Her Daughter Test Easter Egg Dyeing Techniques – Part 3
OK, maybe you have done these but they were new to us. We thought the Marbled Eggs were kind of ho-hum until we went a little crazy with the dunking and then they started to look pretty good.
— Hard boiled eggs
— Vegetable oil
— Vinegar
— Food coloring
— Water
— Mugs or cups large enough to hold your eggs
In your mug, place 1 Tablespoon of oil, 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of food coloring. Add enough water to cover the egg, stir quickly with a spoon and drop in your egg. Pull the egg out and the color will appear "marbled". We thought our eggs were prettier when they were dunked in two colors.

text: Posted April 27, 2014 · Report post Oh yes, another new comer to the Accutane train! My name is Hailey, I'm 21, living it up in viva Las Vegas. I've struggled with moderate acne since I was probably about 14. It really hit hard when high school happened, you know, when all the stress of real home work and boys came into the picture ;p haha. I tried Proactive for some time, then Clean & Clear, Max Clarity, Neutrogena products and specialty soaps, nothing made a dent in my acne! Then recently within the last year the skin on my face has become absurdly dry and flaky and disgusting. And was progressively getting worse so I said, "That's it! It's time to see a dermatologist!!" And you know, it's not like the Vegas dry desert heat was helping my skin at all! This is the first time I've ever seen a derm before, she's super nice and reassuring, which I think is going to be the best kind of support here soon, and she immediately told me I have eczema, and there's not much I can do about it. TOTAL BUMMER, and here's why; she put me on 30mg accutane 3 times a day, I'm starting out 90mg A DAY! -dies a little- This much medication has literally taken my eczema and given it crack! There is no "good day" for my dry skin anymore My regimen before accutane was to wash my face with a fine grit salt body scrub, with an exfoliating glove. Then apply a small amount of baby oil while my face was still damp, and immediately apply makeup before it began to flake. That pretty much sealed it all in and kept me decently flake-free most of the day. Now I can't even finish putting on the concealer before the flakes appear :/ and to top that off, as the day goes on and my skin continues to dry out, I can feel it cracking and splitting when I smile and talk, it's so gross, I'm completely appalled by this right now. I believe I'm starting day 9 today. And I'm already wanting to quit my job so I can hide out for the next 6 months until my skin is hopefully not so dry and diseased looking. Totally discouraging way to start out, it seemed like most people didn't get the ridiculous dryness so quickly I'm also curious if anyone else is having incredibly itchy scalp problems on accutane? It's 2:30AM right now and I haven't been able to sleep a wink because the top of my head is SOOO ITCHY! I feel like I literally sprouted a lice colony in a whole 3 minutes! I already washed my hair and used prescribed dandruff shampoo. And it's not like I can put lotion in my hair, it probably won't reach my scalp and I'll just have nasty sticky slick hair lol! Does anyone have any tips or anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more you reflect on the housing crisis, the more you realize it was just one big bungled bank job.
With last week's failure of yet another financial institution, Bear Stearns, it becomes clearer every day how much mortgage banker recklessness brought on the current fiasco.
Yes, people lied on their mortgage applications, exaggerating jobs and income to buy houses they couldn't afford.
Yes, buyers and sellers treated homeownership as a roulette game in which the house never loses.
Yes, many of these purchasers cynically walked away from investment properties when the payments got to be too much.
No doubt about it: The banks got mugged. But don't think they weren't willing victims. They were begging to be fleeced, begging for it as much as a guy who staggers through a dark alley at 2 a.m. wearing a bandolier stuffed with $100 bills.
You've probably heard how the game worked. Most lenders — especially big players like Countrywide — never actually bore the full risk of the tainted mortgages. Financial wizards packaged millions of home loans as securities for sale around the world.
The riskier the home loans, the higher the potential return on the securities. Of course, borrowers had to repay the loans or the superstructure crumbles. We're now living with that collapse.
The mind reels when you consider how blind the banks were as late as 11/2 years ago. I talked to a Clearwater couple last week who sold their house in mid 2006 for $1.1-million. But the buyer took out a loan for $1.4-million, the extra $300,000 ostensibly to make repairs on the house.
Of course, the extra money was never used for that purpose and within months the owner stopped making mortgage payments. The bank will sell the home at auction next month, probably for half of what it was worth.
The mortgage company in this case wasn't Ma and Pa Kettle's Lendin' Shack. It was New York's venerable Lehman Brothers.
Whatever happened to the gruff naysayer guarding the bank vault? You may have hated him when he shoved the rejected loan application across his big oak desk, but at least he understood one of the first laws of business: knowing when to say no.
