Skullcandy S2TTBZ-BZ Titan Earbuds, (Black)
" i loved the sound quality. good for everything. not bloated bass, but if you threw on some bass-heavy music they would thump. yet if the music was not bass-heavy it was not intrusive. they look cool, and are made of a cool metal. iono what it is. get some complys for it. the wire is going. one of the buds is crackling in and out when the sire moves. " --Skoobs
Atomic Floyd SuperDarts
" Good design. Built for modern electronic music and some heavy metals( due to its metallic sound) Some might find it tooooooo dynamic, little bit laid mid, some might find its toooooooo sharp, bright, and edgy. " --skfktkwjs
Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds (Green)
"First of all, I gave these a 3 star mostly for their price. At about 9 bucks they are about the cheapest headphones around. I mean, who is going to pass up a deal like that. They are dirt cheap and really easy to find at about any store you can name. But you aren't reading this review just for there price. Lets check em out. Sound quality If your looking at from an..." --Bassbanger101
Skullcandy Smokin Buds - Headphones ( in-ear ear-bud ) - rasta
" These were my first phones that didn't come with an iPod, and I will say that when I got my first pair about three years ago, I was amazed that music could sound so good. After a few years of experience, I think I'm a little more qualified to write a review. First of I will say that I would reccommend these to anyone as their first IEM or headphone on a budget. I mean I can get as..." --Noyan
Atomic Floyd Twistjax
Build to provide max bass and max treble the twistjax were intended to replace my battered Sony ex75 in ears. They are the same build with a plug in ear with an acoustic bass chamber for hammering the soft tissue of the outer ear. The bass chamber is made of "acoustic steel" which gives a very solid look. At first the highs and lows are amazing and you hear pumpy basses with sparkling...
Skullcandy Riot Ear Buds Black/Black, One Size
" I had these and they lasted a month. Turned them into Skullcandy for store credit and bought myself a second pair of Titan's. :) Anyway Riots offer better audio quality, style, durability than Ink'd. I originally bought these using Skullcandy's warranty plan after buying a pair of Ink'd before. So I only paid $3 for shipping. These also offer a aluminium housing as opposed to only..." --Pingupenguins
Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Earbud, 11mm - MacSilver
"I purchased these Skullcandy's to use when working out and stuff since I needed something that I wouldn't mind breaking. I ended up buying these B-stock FMJ's for 20 bucks since they had minor scuff marks on the driver housings which I just rubbed off. I really like the build quality found on these. The housings (aluminum?) seem to be pretty thick and seem like they could take some abuse. The..." --seaskimmer
Skullcandy Smokin' Buds Headphones Black, One Size
" when i first ordered the headphones i got the mic'd version, it was suppose to have flat cables to, it also was suppose to have a working pause/play button. the mic does not work with my zune, it didnt have flat cables like it said they would it had regular cables, the pause/play button didnt work on my zune either, it didnt specify that the button and mic only work on ipods like it does on..." --jamo97
Skullcandy FMJ Earbuds / Headset (iPhone Compatible) - Black
" I compared these headphones to Titan. FMJ offers thicker bass if you are looking for that and I have heard from numorous sources that the FMJ's last a longer time as compared to the Titan. But I would rather scarifice durability for quality and personally my Titans have lasted longer than the FMJs. FMJ's lack comfort because of their long design. The noise generated by cord and..." --Pingupenguins

" The two pairs of Ink'd I've bought have both started glitching within one week from purchase. 'nuff said. " --Xhakhal

"attending meetings"
great hotel just a couple mins from lots of eateries and interstate access.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to great entertainment/food"
Nice hotelGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great experience overall"
I was there for a work event in The View and we stayed overnight in the hotel. I was quite impressed with everything regarding the actual stay. The room was lovely, the bathroom was impressive, everything was very clean, and the Starbucks Coffee was MUCH needed the next morning. The only complaint was that the mattress felt a bit cheap - it was springy […] but hard - a weird combination. Additionally, the staff was very friendly, the hotel was extremely clean and well decorated, and it was easy to locate in Westport. Overall a great experience! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Actually switched to the Challet"
Hotel was very nice. Perfect location for our girls night out at Westport. Very clean, comfy beds and pillows. Bathroom very small. No fridge in room. Very plesant stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice stay - nice folks. Lots of nice restaurants in attached and area around hotel - also office park. Only odd thing was there is no sign on door from hotel area to parking garage but nice person from hotel walked us out and to the door. We went to Coronet Chop Suey event in hotel sponsored by St Louis Jazz Club and reason we picked this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Love the comfortable bed, but I'm allergic to feather pillows; just slightly. However, I was okay and didn't break out or anything. Also, just a suggestions, it would be nice to have extra creamer packets in the room. Thank you so much.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel for the price"
I stayed here two nights, one the night before my wedding day and then again the night of my wedding. The hotel was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Room service was great and everyone was nice and friendly, we would definitely stay there again. We chose this hotel because it was in Westport Plaza and so after the wedding reception we were […] able to go to some bars and then walk safely back to our hotel room. We had a great visit. I would definitely recommend staying here! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"near airport, helpful staff"
A pleasant hotel with a nice indoor pool and staff. They charge for wireless but waived the fee when I asked. It's near the airport and highways. Nice Starbuck's around the corner.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Suburban hotel close to airport"
Hotel seemed to be understaffed at front desk. Only two agents checking in and 10-15 people in line. I witnessed this several times during the stay. Also, room wasn't cleaned til 4pmGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel, pleasant stay"
Everything was good, staff was nice. The only thing that we experienced was the room was not totally clean when we got there. The trash was not emptied, there was a big wad of hair in the toilet, and there was a dirty kleenex behind the bathroom door. Other than that, the hotel stay was acceptable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"10 min drive to amphitheatre"
Great locationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The soft beds are well worth the stay!"
I stayed here while in town to see Keith Urban at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. It's not as close to the place as it says. It's a longer route to get there than to get back. So to get there, it's about 7 miles, but only about 5 miles to get back. The way the streets are routed is what causes this. The hotel was kinda hard to find, I would've expected […] better signage, or better directions from the hotel staff. Now the good parts were the beds are so soft and comfortable. I had a king room and it was very cozy and well equipped with amenities. However, for the price, I would have expected a little more space, a microwave, and a bit more luxuries. I'd stay here again because all the important things for me were present: it was clean, in a safe area, and not too expensive. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Disappointed!!!"
Didn't receive the room I booked. Room was not clean. I will not stay there again. There was a small stain on the bed cover. Could not adequately control room temperature, either very hot or very cold. Hotel has to know about the temperature control problems.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Sheraton Stay"
We came to St Louis for my wife birthday. The staff was nice especially front desk person name Dogas I may have misspelled that, but he was great. There was several thing to do around the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Adequate, but not Sheraton-expected quality"
The blackout shade in our room was stuck halfway up and wouldn't move. We reported it and we're told it would be fixed- not done. There was a large bug wandering around the bathroom and the tub was 't cleaned, really disappointed- not up to Sheraton standards, for sure !Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good, almost great"
The cleaning staff knocked on our door three times, and actually came in once. We didn't have the "do not disturb" sign up, but that was ridiculous. The pool was cold, and very small, and they charge for everything including Wifi. Nice room, great bed. Just needs to be more service oriented.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"overall pleased"
we had some minor hiccups... my daughter found that the comforter was dirty and needed to be cleaned, and I was a little disappointed that breakfast wasn't included with our stay... my friend also booked a room at this hotel for the same night through a different source and her breakfast was included. It is a very nice hotel and we would probably book […] rooms there again. Check in was a breeze and that was nice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"very good my family members were very happy."
great hotel, great location beautiful surrenders and good maintain, the little shops around the hotel were a great addition.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to stay"
With the exception of the new front desk clerk who seemed lost and the two employees standing closeby who weren't helping him, my stay was great. Then again, I didn't have a need to work with any other staff at the hotel during my stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"My stay"
Fantastic Hotel, but disappointing welcome. Staff at the check in where not quite so welcoming, missing a little Welcome spirit, though not rude. We had Club privileges and Saturday morning went up for breakfast at 9:40. I asked how to use the coffee machine and was answered with; Just a moment, I'm trying to close thing down. Sunday am, the entire […] club room was packed and the receptionist was so pleasant and worked so hard to keep everyone happy, far past closing time. This is the type of staff you want to duplicate. The hotel, rooms and cleaning staff where just what I imagined and so wonderful. A shame a few can bring such a wonderful place down. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Awesome staff and surroundings"
The hotel staff was awesome and the shopping and dining areas within walking distance were great. The only real complaint was that it costs $2.50 to get a soft drink at the cocktail party and over $3.00 to get one at the bar. These prices left a bad taste in my mouth, which is a shame since everything else was so good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel ~ Easy to find"
Unfortunately, we reserved two rooms three days in advance to our stay. One of the families in our group got a regular room but we were given a handicap accessible room. I have stayed In handicap accessible rooms before but never one that was so 'difficult' to use. There was a LARGE bathing chair in the way in the bathroom. Everything was down very […] low and all the plug-ins were in odd places that just didn't suit my needs. I understand that maybe that was the only room available when we booked but I wish I would have been told this. I probably would have stayed elsewhere. Also, the breakfast order on the 'door hanger' was still in our room from a previous guest. :( Our room was located right 'behind' the elevators so every time an elevator was in use, we could hear it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Poor hotel in a good location"
They do charge the WI-FI, cheated on the description. The AC in the room is very nosiy! Never see a smile face in the front desk people.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Value"
Great Vslue! Lots of Restaurants/shops in the connected Plaza.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Excelent stay and service Hotel was quiet. It is a little difficult to find off the interstate but other than that was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I needed a title. "A title""
The property is old and run down. The Expedia folk wanted more information. Does anyone care to bet on whether any bad to marginal reviews get posted.Genuine Expedia guest review
Nice Hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent hotel"
Excellent experience. Although I was 4th in line to check in, the process went quickly. The solitary desk clerk was incredibly efficient and very cordial. Lovely ambience, spacious room, deliciously comfy bed and linens. This was a last minute booking (our original hotel was unacceptable) and we were so happy to end up here. I always feel a little irritated […] at the $10 a day charge for wi-fi in the room but it's free in the lobby. Outdoor parking was free and a pay garage available for the plaza as well. Starbucks coffee in lobby and room. There is onsite restaurant which we did not try. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very pleasant staff!"
I have stayed here quite a bit and they continue to make me feel welcomed every time I come. The location is close to the hwy and has plenty of places to eat and relax without being overwhelmed with heavy tragic.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The food was horrible . It this is not just my opinion but others I stayed with . The food delivery ( room services was late) .Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great hotel! Right near expressway!"
Great hotel! Beautiful decore!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Short Weekend away with 3 kids under 4 and 2 dogs"
We had a great experience at this hotel. They were very friendly and accomodating at checkin. The hotel it self was very updated and comfortable. The room was spaciouis and nice. We really enjoyed staying here and will definately be returning. We were traveling with our 3 little kids and they had a blast in the pool. It was heated so that was a nice […] plus. The water was just perfect. We also decided to bring along our 2 under 25 lbs dogs and the staff was great with them.The location is great, because there are some food shops right at the base of the hotel anything from cheaper and quicker to full sit down and enjoy. They even had a starbucks right there. which was a plus for my hubby. Did I mentioned the rooms have starbucks coffee in them as well. The location was very nice. Easily accessible to the interestate and in the middle of downtown and some of the mor epopular shopping district areas in the STL area. Would highly recommend this hotel! My only complaint would be that I wish the room had mini refrigerator. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice place to stay! Takes a little bit to figure out how to get to it, but once you do, it was a great place! Breakfast buffet in the restaurant was wonderful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great appearance, good service, fair room service"
Hotel is very nice, don't order room service the food never came up hot.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location"
Excellent buffet for breakfast, if you purchase it when you book a room otherwise it's a but expensive. Good location if you like the Westport area.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not at all what was expected!"
We planned this stay for my fiance's birthday. What was to be a special occasion turned into a fiasco. As we were checking in we were told that if we wanted to upgrade to a King room we could, however, our reservations were for a King Club already. We accepted the upgrade and went to our room. The customer service lady at the front desk was less than […] cordial. She was short and condescending to us. We were supposed to have had 1 King Bed, however when we got to our room, there were 2 Fulls. We called the front desk and were told to bring our belongings back to the front desk and they would take a look at the situation. Once we got back to the lobby, there was a considerable line to wait to see the clerk. When we did get our turn (again) she said, "Oh, it's you". She looked at our room information and said she gave us the wrong room. No, I'm sorry, Nothing. Once we finally got to our "correct" room, there was not 1 clean towel to be had. Once again we had to contact the front desk and this time, was no different than the last two. No personality or apology for the inconveniences, at all. We had reservations at a comedy club within the complex, but by this time had missed scheduled time for the show to begin. So with that trying to still make the best of it, we decided to take the "hotel offered" shuttle to the casino. We were told one would be there in about 10 Minutes, after 35 Minutes we were able to flag down a shuttle that was just roaming the parking lot. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Did not get the correct room."
Supposed to have a Club King room. I was told those are on the 10th, 11th and 12th floors, with free access in the Club room which has refreshments and food. They gave me a room on the 4th floor. They said it was Hotels.com fault.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"They tried to change our confirmed reservation...."
Had a confirmed Hotels.com reservation for KING Deluxe room; upon checking in about 2:30-3PM they informed that they had our reservation, but that NO king rooms were available; were sold out and full, and tried to put us into room with 2 twin beds. I called HOTELS, and magically when HOTELS called the manager he informed us that yes they, all of the […] sudden, had our confirmed KING room available...amazing, glad for the HOTELS.com service, but it should never have happened-a waste of our time to get it settled. Otherwise, this hotel is great, good service etc. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"NYE celebration"
when cking in I was not given coupon for buffet breakfast. Had to ask for itGenuine Hotels.com guest review
There was only luke warm water in shower and that was most un pleasant. That would keep me from staying again. My husband owns a home building business and said the protecting device was set wrong or broken. That is the device that u have for liaibilty to keep the water from being too hot and hurting. Othe wiseGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Room was very clean, but the person that cleaned it might have forgotten to leave towels, coffee, shampoo...We called the front desk and they brought it right away. The hotel is wonderful, we stay every year for our anniversary, and will continue to do so.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Very nice hotel with the exception of,broken shower head and dresser was broken. Great location and AWSOME staff!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great time at the sheraton"
We had a great time with excellent service and comfort. A real bargain for the $ . The staff sent us an anniversary gift of a bottle of wine and strawberries. Nice surrounding area with lots of fun nearby within walking distance. Thanks again Sheraton!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to good restraunants"
GreatGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"leaky a/c into floor soaking into bed skirt"
It was a fairly nice hotel, but I didn't appreciate being told that they didn't have a room available, only to find out on hotels.com that there was a room available. Then, when I got my room, there was a large puddle of water in the floor that had soaked up into the bed skirts of both beds. There were old stains on them as well, indicating this wasn't […] the first time. Furniture had been placed in an attempt to cover a large part of the area. The room smelt of mold too. There was "random" hair left in the bathroom, and the floor was dirty. I didn't make a scene at the hotel, but I did inform them. There didn't seem to be much concern. I figured I would have the opportunity to share online. :-) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"not as high class as they think they are"
inch of dust on vents, stains on wall, not the high class hotel it thinks it is. very misleading menu for their breakfast. you don't find out the real cost of the " Sheraton continental breakfast " til after you have your drinks.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Bad hotel with great workers"
Booked 2 rooms at the towers but was moved to the chalet without notice and or apology. The first rooms did not have remote controls not did the sliding glass doors lock (on the ground floor). The second room was attached to the elevator shaft which was extremely noisy. Again 1 of the 2 rooms did not have a remote and the replacement remote that was […] brought up did not work. The 3rd room change had a broken lock to enter the room but would open if hot hard enough. There were dirty glasses on tables in the hallways as well as a leaky ceiling in the sitting area of the lobby. The hotel it self was not great at all however the staff was very accommodating. Without asking, they comped 1 of our rooms for both nights, gave a room credit to be used for room service, as well as breakfast vouchers. On top of that we were given multiple options for upcoming stays at the Sheraton brand hotel. All in all, the staffs attitude made up for the poor structural problems that were outside of their control. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Airport Shuttle Hours Shortened"
Hotel itself was great except for a fair amount of noise infiltrating our room in the early morning from the corridors, nearby doors noisily closing, etc. A disadvantage if you are depending on the hotel's airport shuttle: it runs from ~6 am to 10:30 pm--not the 4 pm to midnight hours it formerly did when airline crews were booked at the hotel. If you […] get "caught" as we did with a late arriving flight, count on an extra $25+ for a taxi ride. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Would stay again"
I thought the hotel was nice, clean and updated. Staff seemed friendly. Panera and Starbucks are just a few steps away.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My thoughts on the book overall: Kingsolver has a great writing style that is not easily lived up to. This is why I give The Poisonwood Bible two stars. The book feels very authentic for about the first 2/3rds and then drops wayyyyy off in quality. All of the characters suddenly become devices who are only around to teach the lesson of "white man bad, Black man good." They were doing a very good job of telling a different story up until the last third. The characteres go from fleshed... (read more)

Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible is written in good detail but it was so boring and too long with not enough action. (read more)
Written on: 21/04/2007 by Umi Sinha (3 reviews written)
Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible is one of my favourite books and despite my comments in 'Bad Points' a must-read. Its good points easily outweigh its bad ones. I loved the voices, found it very funny, and shocking and I very much admired the courage and integrity of an American citizen documenting so powerfully the truly evil foreign policy of Amertica and Britain. Very relevant today to what is still going on in Afghanistan and Iraq, but even if you have no interest in politics... (read more)

I had a great time playing Iron Brigade on PC at first, it really is a great game.
However, after playing for a random period of time (single- or multiplayer) my game started to stutter. Every time an enemy dies or any player picks up a piece of scrap, the game pauses for a fraction of a second. It makes the game almost unplayable.
Restarting the game solves the problem for a while, but it always returns.
It's apparently very common, even on high end PC's. Double Fine are aware of the problem (looking at the Steam forums) but have as of today not found a solution yet.
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, this is the current state of the PC version. I really hope that they'll patch it soon because the game is a lot of fun when it works!

I haven't encountered it yet. I did encounter a weird bug when I was playing with a laser weapon. Sometimes when I shot some enemies with the laser a really loud annoying sound started and kept going for about a minute and adjusting the volume didn't help. I haven't played the game since so I don't know if I still have this problem and I haven't really seen anyone else talk about it so it might just be me. Then again I probably won't be using the laser anymore cause it wasn't that good.
But thanks for the post, I definitly hope they patch it because this game is fantastic.

My friend and I both suffer from this and have decided to shelve Trenched until it gets fixed, personally no big deal because I have other stuff to play. Hopefully the fix is sooner rather than later and can fix this issue as the game looks and runs great (when you aren't picking up scrap).

I've finally encounter this during survival, definitely very annoying. Hope they find a fix soon.
i had no problems with the game. well i had some issues with playing multiplayer games. but it looked more like latency issues. and once a small bug where my player name was wrong while searching for other players and only one could join, i could not stop the search or select map. but after a few min it fixed itself .
granted i have only played it for 15 hours and only twice in survival where we only got to lvl 15 but still

Novodevichy Monastery: Our Lady of Smolensk : Michelin's recommendations
You can't help but be dazzled by the interior decoration of Our Lady of Smolensk, where the greatest talents of the 17C found expression. Simon Ushakov and Feodor Zubov made the delicate icons, Klim Mikhailov and Osip Andreev created the remarkable iconostasis, and Nikita Morev and Alexei Ekimov designed the wrought-iron gate. In addition to the 16C murals, note the tombs of Sophia Alekseyevna and Eudoxia Lopukhina, respectively the half-sister and first wife of Peter the Great, both forced by him to withdraw to this monastery.

Botanical Decor Shopping Bring the Outside in With These Botanical Accents by Noria Morales 8/21/12 0 Reactions 37 Shares Print 24 2 11 0 0 While we can't wait for the rich promise of Fall, we're never ready to say goodbye to the playful visions of Summer — think vibrant gardens and birds singing. With that in mind, we rounded up our picks for items with a botanical twist, all which will bring the outside in all year-round. Start What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This bell jar lamp by Canopy Designs is what inspired our search for botany-inspired pieces; we love the colors and delicate print.

Dwell Studio bedding ($310) 2 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This nine-piece decoupage makes for a grand piece of art when arranged together, and the stately old tree is a timeless look. John Derian Oak Tree ($1,700) 3 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 West Elm partnered with Johannesburg-based artists Gerhard Swart and Anthony Harris of Ceramic Matters to make these beautifully rustic vases. They would look great in a series. West Elm ceramic vases ($39-$47, originally $49-$59) 4 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mirror, mirror, on the wall, will make for the girliest room of all. That is, unless you place this in a spare, modern space, where it will add a refreshing dose of femininity. Venetian Mirror with Flowers ($3,800) 6 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yes, they could feel over-the-top feminine, but if you balance your space with more minimal pieces, these could look gorgeous. Garden sconce (price upon request) 6 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The scale of this floral mural created by UK-based artist Kevin Dean is astounding — it was commissioned for a mosque in Abu Dhabi. We're thinking this kind of mural would look lovely on a much smaller scale... like in a master bathroom or kitchen.

Microsoft is reportedly working on a newer version of its operating system known as Windows Phone 8.1 to most of us. According to a new report from The Verge, the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 will come with a notification center and a personal assistant similar to Google Now and Siri. Microsoft is currently testing the update internally, and plans to reveal it at the Build Developer Conference in April 2014.
According to Tom Warren from The Verge, the notification center will work in a similar fashion as it does on Android and iOS, which may not be that unique after all. Short swipe from the top will open quick settings, while a long swipe will show the user the full notification history.
Also, the new Windows Phone 8.1 includes a personal-assistant Cortana, which would work in a similar fashion as Google Now and Siri on Apple devices. Microsoft is testing the feature for some time, and it is expected to replace Bing search and will give users the ability to interact using voice or text input.
Additionally, Warren mentions a bunch of other missing features will be added to Windows Phone 8.1 including, independent volume controls (allows users to control ringtone volume independently of media playback.), VPN support for enterprise users, Facebook and Twitter support in People Hub and more.
Anyway, these are some much-needed features that were missing from the operating system. Microsoft is adding more and more features to its operating system in order to compete with Android and iOS. Addition of these features, if true, can definitely help the folks at Redmond gain some market share in the competitive smartphone market.

I just saw everybody else and tried it," Fry said as he pulled her closer to himself.Leela sighed happily and put her head down on his chest. She ignored her screaming head and listened to his heart beat just like that first day she had found out she had limited time. She didn't care now if her time was running short, because this moment felt like forever.The music had long stopped and Leela had fallen asleep. Fry laid her down gently down on the sofa and everybody had gone about, tending to their preparations for their little X-Mas party."Okay, spill it, Fry," Amy said as he sat down next to the sleeping Leela."Spill what?""G'uh!

D'Ambrosio joined the Nerazzurri early on Friday from Torino but by far the club's biggest acquisition was Lazio's highly-rated Brazilian international midfielder Hernanes.
The 28-year-old Hernanes, who cried as he left Lazio's training ground on Thursday, joined Inter on a four-and-a-half year deal worth a reported 18m euros ($24.2million).
Thohir has seen Inter struggle to live up to their potential in recent months with Walter Mazzarri's side taking only eight points from a possible 27 in their last nine games.
The Indonesian businessman, however, is hoping his double acquisition will spark a turnaround.
"I am very excited about our acquisitions of Hernanes and Danilo D'Ambrosio," Thohir told the club's website www.inter.it.
"I believe both players provide us with much needed depth and balance. We welcome them to the Inter family and look forward to their positive contributions on the field and in the locker room."
Thohir had hinted shortly after his November takeover that he would limit spending and look to promote a culture of bringing youth players into the senior side.
The purchase of Hernanes should allay fans' fears of a thrifty approach to the market, but Thohir insisted he would not abandon another of his early-season priorities -- "growth and stability".
"We will continue to review all aspects of the club," he added.
"As we continue this movement in a new direction, I have challenged our organisation to take a long view toward growth and stability, building a new foundation for success on solid ground.
"We firmly believe this approach will strengthen Inter's status as one of the best clubs in the world."
Inter, the last Italian team to win the Champions League, in 2010, currently sit fifth in Serie A, 11 points behind third-placed Napoli who occupy the third and final Champions League qualifying spot.

1 The Lepidium sativum of Linnæus, cresses or nose-smart.
2 This opinion is corroborated by Dioscorides, B. ii. c. 185, and confirmed by the author of the Geoponica, B. xii. c. 27. Fée inclines to the opinion of Dioscorides, and states that is highly antiscorbutic.
3 In B. xix. c. 44.
4 The two varieties, the white and the black, are no longer distinguished. The only variety now recognized, Fée says, is that with crisped leaves.
5 "Furunculos." Gangrenous sores, probably.
6 "Unguibus scabris," i. e. for the removal of malformed nails, with the view to the improvement of their appearance.
7 The Lepidium Iberis of Linnæus, Fée thinks.

Patriots fans can only hope Bill Belichick and friends return from the scouting combine with a long list of defensive back options to sift through over the next couple months.
If the Patriots are able to use some of the cap space saved with Tom Brady's new contract to bring back Wes Welker, wide receiver will become a significantly smaller area of need (though still an area of need), making defensive back further stand out as a priority for the Pats.
There are a couple of free agents in Aqib Talib and Kyle Arrington whose futures with the team will be determined prior to the draft (assuming Patrick Chung departs), but the uncertainty of Alfonzo Dennard's situation, Devin McCourty's shuffling between safety and corner and the never-ending injury concerns of Ras-I Dowling creates a cloudy picture of New England's defensive backfield.
Assuming the Patriots are in agreement the defensive backfield needs upgrading, there should be options when they choose in the first two rounds. They'll be able to get a name guy, but developing him will be another story, and the history there is scary for the Pats.
McCourty, Chung, Dowling, Terrence Wheatley and Darius Butler were all taken in the first two rounds. McCourty was an All-Pro cornerback as a rookie but has regressed since, while the rest have either stuck around and have underwhelmed, or they've been cut (Wheatley, Butler).
This year's draft class presents a decent amount of options in the secondary. While Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro and Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner will likely be off the board by the time the Pats get around to picking at 29th overall, guys like Xavier Rhodes, Johnthan Banks and Matt Elam are just a few of the defensive backs who could be available.
If the Pats opt for a cornerback early, Rhodes (out of Florida State) and Banks (from Mississippi) would be their two best options.
The 6-foot, 210-pound Rhodes is strong and physical. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock views the former receiver as the type that could potentially be moved around between corner and safety, though he's only played corner to this point. He has good speed, running a 4.43 40-yard dash at the combine -- and for a Patriots connection, he was mentored by former Pats cornerback Terrell Buckley at FSU.
Banks is a tall guy at 6-foot-2, but his 185-pound weigh-in at the combine leaves more bulk to be desired, which he says will be there at his pro day. Another issue with Banks is that he's slow, but -- and pardon the Mayock-ism here -- taller defensive backs can get away with subpar speed. Banks ran a 4.61 40-yard dash Tuesday, but keep in mind that Joe Haden ran right around that range (4.57) in Indy in 2010 before posting a better time at his pro day.
Blidi Wreh-Wilson is seen as a potential first-round pick, but would the Patriots draft another UConn cornerback that high after getting burned with Butler in the past? Maybe not.
There's a handful of safeties who could also be there early and Elam might be the most logical fit. He's physical, rangy and he was recruited by Urban Meyer at Florida. He's a hard hitter who might go out of his way to delvier that hit, but don't worry, he's a lot more responsible on the field than Brandon Meriweather, a former first-round pick of Belichick's who became a posterchild for ill-timed hits.
D.J. Swearinger out of South Carolina is another one to keep an eye on. His 6.70-second performance in the three-cone drill was fifth-best among defensive backs at the combine, and the Patriots have been known to fancy the three-cone drill.
In the second round, Washington's Desmond Trufant (the younger brother of Marcus Trufant) would be a good option at corner, but he likely impressed teams quite a bit with his 4.38 40 time, potentially making him an earlier selection.
Lastly, don't sleep on University of Houston's DJ Hayden, a guy we got to speak to at length in Indianapolis. A second-round talent, he nearly died after tearing the vein that sends blood to the lower body in freak collision during practice in November. Veins heal well enough for him to not be at risk of suffering the same injury, but the lost time on the football field could hurt Hayden's stock. A junior college transfer, Hayden had only played 22 games at Houston before his injury, so the limited FBS sample size could make him something of a risky pick earlier on. The good thing for Hayden is that he packed a lot of production into the time he did get in Conference USA, playing both man and zone in a 3-4 and a 4-3, proving to be a sound tackler and returning three of his six interceptions for touchdowns. He could be in intriguing pick in the third, assuming the Pats like what they see when he works out next month.
If the Pats want to finally develop a star (or even just an above-average contributor) in the secondary, the options should be there. This draft class is kind of like the 2010 one at cornerback, where there was one guy at the head of the class (Haden in 2010, Milliner now), and then there's a bunch of names that are still waiting to sort themselves out.
The Pats got McCourty, the third cornerback off the board, in that draft. If they can get a Rhodes, a Banks or one of the safeties late in the first, they'll have added yet another promising young player to their defensive backfield. The tougher part will come after that, and it always seems to be the toughest part for the Patriots.

In 2013, Jackie Bradley Jr. used a non-roster invitation to big league spring training as a platform to an unexpected major league performance. Yet by and large, prospects in big league camp for the first time have more modest goals of creating familiarity -- both on their part with the big league setting, and in an effort to try to impress the big league coaching staff to position themselves for in-season call-ups. Red Sox prospects Garin Cecchini, Matt Barnes, Anthony Ranaudo and Bryce Brentz discuss their outlook on their first big league camps, while Bradley joins to explain the difference he feels this year in his second big league camp.

cast iron
Article Free Passcast iron, an alloy of iron that contains 2 to 4 percent carbon, along with varying amounts of silicon and manganese and traces of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus. It is made by reducing iron ore in a blast furnace. The liquid iron is cast, or poured and hardened, into crude ingots called pigs, and the pigs are subsequently remelted along with scrap and alloying elements in cupola furnaces and recast into molds for producing a variety of products.
The Chinese produced cast iron as early as the 6th century bc, and it was produced sporadically in Europe by the 14th century. It was introduced into England about 1500; the first ironworks in America were established on the James River, Virginia, in 1619. During the 18th and 19th centuries, cast iron was a cheaper engineering material than wrought iron because it did not require intensive refining and working with hammers, but it was more brittle and inferior in tensile strength. Nevertheless, its load-bearing strength made it the first important structural metal, and it was used in some of the earliest skyscrapers. In the 20th century, steel replaced cast iron in construction, but cast iron continues to have many industrial applications.
Most cast iron is either so-called gray iron or white iron, the colours shown by fracture. Gray iron contains more silicon and is less hard and more machinable than is white iron. Both are brittle, but a malleable cast iron produced by a prolonged heat treatment was developed in France in the 18th century, and a cast iron that is ductile as cast was invented in the United States and Britain in 1948. Such ductile irons now constitute a major family of metals that are widely used for gears, dies, automobile crankshafts, and many other machine parts.

Besides the amount of snow on your roof, an important consideration is the slope of the roof.
If the roof is barely sloped (level or nearly level), ice and snow accumulation is more of a priority to do. Naturally it is also safer to do.
If it is moderately sloped, 20°–35°, then it is less urgent to clear as it will naturally shed excess load ...
99% of the time there is (or should be) no need to remove snow from a roof that is properly built for the area it is in. "Properly built for the area it is in" should include the ability to hold up the expected maximum snow load for that area until it melts. As a side note, in new construction, it is often VERY affordable to add 10-20 pounds per square foot ...
Rock salt, or any ice melter, won't work if the ice is more than an inch deep. If the ice is thick, the salt will just melt through and the ice will freeze again; harder.
