Lucic will not be suspended for hitting emo Miller. [ Days of O'RR ] <----- So much great venom in this post.
Somewhere Sabres fans have joined ranks with Montreal and Vancouver and getting ready to dial 9-1-1.For now, Sabres fans will have to just dream about Looch being suspended (or any Sabre enacting revenge). They can file those dreams next to the ones about Buffalo winning a cup.
"We are satisfied with the NHL's announcement that there will be no suspension or fine for Milan, and we respect the process that the League took to reach this decision."I am also proud that Milan took the high road, and chose not to engage in an exchange of words after the unfortunate comments that were made about him following the game."
PAYD's friend Gillian spotted the error. Can't remember if it's been discussed before.
We wanted to look and see if this is actually a nod to a grammatical error in the liner notes of Led Zeppelin IV itself.
But nope.

Interesting story from the Trib:
Pens co-owner Ron Burkle, who along with Lemieux helped rescue the hockey team from bankruptcy, apparently is interested in purchasing a bankrupt baseball team. The billionaire supermarket magnate reportedly is involved in discussions to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers.
ESPN reported that an investment group that includes former Dodger greats Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser has met with Burkle about buying the team.
Burkle and Lemiuex tried to take over the Pirates a few years ago but the Bucs said no.
While most of us just compete to pay the water bill, it must be nice to have so much money you're worried about what historic franchise you can buy next. Really has to be a great feeling.
Go Pens.

When you really think about it, boy have we been taking Sidney Crosby for granted.
Come to think of it, just about everyone's been taking Sidney Crosby for granted.

About Blood Fugue:
"Some folks treated the past like an old friend. The memories warmed them with fondness for what was, and hope for what was to come. Not me. When I thought of long ago, my insides curdled, and I was left feeling sour and wasted."
Jenny Schmidt is a young woman with old heartaches. A small town Texas girl with big city attitude, she just doesn't fit in. Not that she has ever tried.
Life has pummeled her heart into one big, lonely callus. She has no siblings, both parents were dead by sixteen, and her last grandparent—and caretaker—was in the ground before she turned twenty-one. She's the last living member of her immediate family. Or so she thinks…
"We found my 'grandfather' sitting at his dining room table. An entire scorched pot of coffee dangled from his shaky hand. His skin was the ashen gray shade of thunderclouds, not the rich mocha from the photo I'd seen. There were dark blue circles under each swollen red eye. A halo of white hair skirted his bald head, a crown of tangles and mats. Corpses had more life in them."
Suddenly, instead of burying it with the dead, Jenny is forced to confront the past. Armed only with an ancient family journal, her rifle, and an Apache tomahawk, she must save her grandfather's life and embrace her dangerous heritage. Or be devoured by it.
Witch's Nocturne is the second of the Moonsongs Books, a series of paranormal-horror-action novelettes by author E.J. Wesley. These stories contain language and content better suited for mature readers.

Historical Traveler Reviews Beau Rive Dominica
"It's just good for you!!!"
If you are looking for a one-in-a-million-place, we have good news for you: You just found it. The plan of Marc, the owner of Beau Rive, was to built THE hotel, he would love to discover on a Caribbean island - and the only thing we have to add is: He fully succeeded. And his taste and feeling for a small, private and lovely hotel are just excellent! Up to now the hotel has just six rooms and Marc has planned never to have more that twelve - so you can be sure to discover a hidden place on a hidden island. It's a gorgeous place with rooms that are furnished with a lot of style - and a lounge with a piano and great jazz music. You will love to have dinner at the terrace - over viewing the wonderful bay with a palm tree that seems to grow there for the only reason to make a perfect panorama more than perfect. And Marc and his friendly team will serve the freshest and most tasty food we ever received during our two weeks stay. And afterwards he will come serving coffee or a tea from leaves from his garden where all kinds of tropical plants are growing from cinnamon to pomegranate. And you can smell the sweet Ylang Ylang flowers from your place on the terrace. My boyfriend has chosen this wonderful setting to ask me to marry him - and I can't imagine a better place. So we highly recommend you to come there - even if you don't have an engagement ring in your luggage. You will find other things to do - enjoy the view, the food, bathing in a waterfall or go snorkeling. As Marc always says: "It's just good for you!"
Amazing Hotel...
Leagues above anywhere else we stayed in the Caribbean, and great
value. A small hotel of exceptional charm. Extremely warm welcome and
wonderful fresh food from a genuine and charming English owner. Very
stylish but refreshingly relaxed atmosphere. Has to be the best place
to stay on this beautiful undiscovered island. Not to be missed.
Beau Rive- the jewel of Dominica.
We recently spent a wonderful week honeymooning at Beau Rive where we enjoyed views of the Atlantic, fresh air and exquisitely prepared gourmet dinners. We found lovely colonial style rooms with handmade Dominican soaps, louvered french doors opening to a veranda, the lovely scent of the ylang ylang flower gently perfuming the air, hardwood floors that your bare feet never want to leave, a gorgeous pool, three course candlelit dinners that you look forward to all day and a high level of service that you rarely find. The owner, Mark Steele, has created the most lovely escape paying attention to every last detail without creating a stale or overly precious inn. Mr. Steele can arrange excursions for you to the Carib territory, direct you to a nearby ruined 18th century sugar mill or leave you in privacy to enjoy your solitude. If you want to explore the island, rent a car and use Beau Rive as your base.
Great Location, Great Charm
I stayed at Beau Rive eaerly in June of this year. I was pleased with the laidback charm of the place, its Caribbean architecture, the comfort of the rooms, its great view of the ocean and the attentive and the caring but unobtrusive service provided...Definitely a must visit
A Breath of Fresh Air at Beau Rive
I have just returned from my holiday in Dominica and stayed at Hotel "Beau Rive". The hotel is a wonderful mixture of new and old: the clean and modern interior blends perfectly with the old plantation style of the exterior building, with its louvered shutters. The most charming feature of the hotel for me was its aspect. The view overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and gardens with fruit trees and flowers. My room was spacious and well-appointed and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Breakfast comprised of local produce and a variety of fruits, either grown in the hotel gardens or supplied by the neighbouring farms, and served on the seafront terrace which made all the more enjoyable by the view. If you value a hotel not over-run by tourists, which is improved by the owner's individual touch and flair, then I strongly recommend "Beau Rive".
High Light of My Vacation!
The day visit to Beau Rive in Dominica while on a Winter's Caribbean Cruise was the high light of the trip. A beutiful setting with lush vegitation and an incredible view from all rooms toward the sea makes this the perfect spot for todays travelers looking for that special "Get-A-Way !
Stress free holiday
we went to Castle Bruce in Dominica in June. We thought that Beaurive was extremely comfortable with a touch of class. The service was excellent, with wonderful fresh fruit everyday and wholesome meals. The veiws from the hotel were breathtaking, and if you want a holiday that is relaxing go to Beaurive. Its ideal for walkers, honeymooners, and anyone who wants a stress free holiday. Carole Hardy.
A touch of class
i have just got back from a fortnight's holiday that i shall never forget. I wanted to do something unusual this year, so I chose to go to Dominica, an unspoilt place of natural beauty, and stayed at a brand new hotel which sounded like just what I needed; and it was. The charm and character of the place sets you at ease as soon as you arrive, and the welcome I got made me comfortable immediately. the hotel is set on a lush, green hillside overlooking the Ocean. All around are mountains and trees and there was not another building in sight. rThe room was seriously spacious and I was impressed by the very high ceiling and the high standard of all the little fixtures and fittings. And the view from the balcony is awesome. I like to paint, and was inspired by the calm and beauty of the view. only natural sounds and no-one to disturb you. The host is not only real friendly, but also an excellent cook.
Great place to relax at Beau Rive
I stayed with a friend in Junefor two weeks. Hotel is perfectly set in beautiful natural surroundings. Owner has built a little haven with well decorated rooms. The owner's love of the island's is reflected in the care with which the hotel has been built and the way it has been decorated. High standard. A great place to get away from it all. I could have stayed another week easily.
The Best hotel on Dominica
How incredible it is to find such an impeccable hotel anywhere in the world, but especially in such an idyllic escape as Dominica. The views, the food, the rooms and the service are top notch. But, yet it is a very comfortable place to be and stay. A perfect getaway.

It's a crisp, cold morning in the deserted lobby of a Camden hotel and the Katzenjammer girls are running late, delayed by a combination of tour exhaustion and trying to wrestle their belongings into weathered suitcases that refuse to close. "I never sleep through my alarm," apologises a tired but smiling Marianne Sveen as she eventually shuffles onto an armchair beside bandmate Turid Jørgensen and a mountain of luggage.
Katzenjammer are on a winning streak. This morning's sleepy faces belie a string of triumphant live appearances across the continent, where their colourful style has translated into soaring record sales, critical acclaim and a growing worldwide audience. Today, they regale me with stories of autographing fans' body parts, a new found love for playing squash on the road, and the discomforts of having four women menstruating on a tour bus simultaneously.
Like the naughty children from the old cartoon that inspired their name, Katzenjammer have a good-natured rebellious streak that they say manifests itself in a refusal to bind themselves to any musical limitations. Not content with being four accomplished multi-instrumentalists, the band switch vigorously between a freewheeling combination of pop, folk, rock, blues, country, gypsy punk, cabaret and more, apparently without breaking a sweat. On paper, such exhibitionist dexterity might come across as pretentious, but in practice Katzenjammer are distinctly laid back and egalitarian.
"It's interesting, writing songs for the band. We are always on the lookout for the one thing we haven't done yet, like the missing piece in the puzzle. Our inspiration comes from a lot of different places, but the fact there isn't a frontperson in Katzenjammer means that it's harder to concentrate on our individual feelings – we tend to focus on the whole, and it works!," exclaims Marianne, her face lighting up.
Katzenjammer's live personae are strikingly individual yet mutually complementary, each taking their turn to sing and swap instruments in a seemingly endless merry-go-round. These ladies certainly know how to command a stage. Anne Marit Bergheim's "circus monkey" hat trick – playing the harmonica, accordion and glockenspiel all at once, as well as singing – has to be seen to be believed. Indeed, all four women are continuously using all their available physical apparatuses (limbs, hands, feet, mouths) to create an impressively rich sound, infused with elements of vaudeville, cabaret, honky tonk and a refusal to take themselves too seriously.
At once breathtakingly talented musicians and rip-roaring entertainers, they revel in a high level of audience participation, daring the crowd to sing along to anthemic choruses and Nordic ditties. I was eager to know where they get their energy from. "Basically, all you have to do is go on stage. When we go on stage together something just happens," explains Marianne. "You just know you want to give the audience the very best you can, and if you have it in you to give them that extra 10% then you somehow pull it off." "We get a lot of energy from the crowd," adds Turid. "The moment you get on stage and there are hundreds of people cheering at you, you forget everything else."
It quickly becomes clear that beneath the bands cheerful spirit lie deep commitment and ambition, and that the theatrics a more casual observer might dismiss as fluff are underpinned by serious musicianship. "Sometimes people still seem surprised that we are all girls playing in this band," says Marianne matter of factly, "but we became Katzenjammer completely by accident. Anne Marit found some old instruments in her attic and invited Solveig [Heilo] to play with her, and eventually me and Turid joined in and started writing songs together." But surely such musical talent is inborn?
"I didn't grow up thinking I was going to be a musician. I was more of a sportswoman," chuckles Turid. "But I was very lucky my parents always let me do whatever I wanted. I think in Norway I also had the financial security to pursue my dreams… I knew that even if I failed at something I would still be able to survive, and that's been very liberating."
This inherent free spiritedness permeates the breadth of Katzenjammer's work and seems to be their defining characteristic, but that is not to say that they lack direction. Their 2009 debut album Le Pop saw them begin to flex their mighty musical versatility, but in the follow-up A Kiss Before You Go, out in the UK on May 7, we see the band move toward a more cohesive sound – maturing into their confidently camp modus operandi, perhaps.
"We take a lot of inspiration from films," muses Marianne, "and our new album was heavily inspired by 'The City Of Lost Children' and all the steampunk paraphernalia.' A Kiss Before You Go somehow crams in nuances of Aretha Franklin, Metallica, Genesis, Gogol Bordello and Dolly Parton in the space of twelve tracks. From the outset, it is quite an ambitious undertaking; chaotic at times but with moments of utter brilliance. The closing number, 'God's Great Dust Storm' – perhaps the most strikingly beautiful track on the album – is a sing-to-the-rafters, four-piece a cappella number that showcases Katzenjammer's considerable vocal abilities to spine-tingling effect.
"We are always looking to try something new," smiles Turid, and it's this contagiously positive attitude that lights up their performances and looks set to make 2012 their best year yet. Katzenjammer are ultimately about making their audiences let go and have fun, and with so many different tricks up their sleeves, only the hardest cynic would fail to dance on command. In January they announced on their Facebook page that their New Year's resolution was to play another ten instruments on stage – now that I would like to see!
Katzenjammer play the Scala in London tonight – get tickets here – and they'll be back in May for more gigs to mark the UK release of A Kiss Before You Go on May 7.

We recommend that the Government place a duty on every local authority to ensure access to local centres for home-educated young people to sit accredited public examinations. (Paragraph 43) Education Committee Report Support Home Education
Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted: When we inspect local authorities we will be asking are local authorities supporting children at home and funding access to qualifications and examinations
Home educated young people take exams as private candidates which involves selecting an exam board with suitable courses and finding an exam centre. State schools don't generally let young people who aren't registered pupils go in to sit exams. Home educators must either find a centre which will deal with controlled assessment for GCSEs (virtually impossible) or find a centre to sit IGCSEs.
DfE explains how external candidates results don't affect schools November 29th 2013
Some home educating families find that it is not necessary to take as many exams as children do in school and there may be flexibility or non-standard entry where colleges understand more about the applicant's background. Home educators also tend to begin exams earlier and take one year courses rather than two. In some cases it's been possible for home educated young people to sit exams as external candidates in private schools. Home educating families tend progress through the course material by self-study working through recommended textbooks. Families can also set up their own tutor groups.
The reason why home educators tend to use centres which are already up and running rather than setting up their own registered exam centre are to do with the rules for becoming an exam centre which can be found in Appendix B here http://www.jcq.org.uk/Download/exams-office/general-regulations/general-regulations-for-approved-centres-2013-2014

International GCSEs or IGCSEs are predominantly exam-based ie the candidate is not required to submit coursework as part of the overall mark scheme. The main exam boards or awarding bodies for IGCSEs are CIEand Edexcel. More exam centres are registered with Edexcel though this does not necessarily mean that the centre will accept private candidates for IGCSEs. Some private schools and maintained schools also prefer IGCSEs as can be seen in this Guardian article, October 2012.Controlled Assessment
Private candidates need to find a registered centre that will:
- accept them for all elements of Controlled Assessment Task Taking and Task Marking, including preparation and analysis prior to the Task Taking
- undertake authentication of Controlled Assessment Tasks
- keep their work securely between sessions
- undertake the assessment of any Controlled Assessment Tasks.

See also http://ofqual.gov.uk/news/design-details-of-new-gcses-in-england/ (November 2013) The changes will be in stages, starting with the GCSE exams sitting in 2017. English and maths will be the first subjects affected. 20 other GCSE subjects will be revamped in the same way with the first exams for those taken in 2018. Exams will be graded from one to nine, with nine being the highest and fail being a U" for an "unclassified" result.

A Storm in Heaven is the debut studio album by English alternative rock band The Verve, at the time known just as Verve, released in June 1993 on the Hut Records label. It charted at No. 27 in the UK.
Like the band's prior EPs and singles, most of the songs on this album are bathed in heavy layers of delay (echo) and reverb, used on both the guitars and the vocals, to give a disorientingly psychedelic overall effect. The lyrics of "Butterfly" pertain directly to the so-called Butterfly effect, and the song "Catching the Butterfly," from the band's 1997 album Urban Hymns, is apparently a continuation of this theme. Guitarist Nick McCabe has stated that the track was recorded at 3:00 a.m. while playing along with a Steely Dan sample.[8] The album's closing song, "See You in the Next One (Have a Good Time)", is built on a subdued piano motif played by McCabe and atmospheric acoustic guitars played by vocalist Richard Ashcroft. After this album, the band's music moved in a less psychedelic, more structured direction, and their name was officially changed to "The Verve" for legal reasons, so as not to clash with the record label Verve Records.
As with all of the band's releases, A Storm in Heaven features enigmatic artwork designed by Brian Cannon. The cover photo was shot inside Thor's Cave in Staffordshire, England. The vinyl LP version came in gatefold packaging.
In a reappraisal of the album's historic importance, Delusions of Adequacy noted that A Storm in Heaven transcended the other albums of its time:
"A highly burnished synthesis of the warbling hard rock of the Doors, the infinite rhythmic groove of Can, the space-fried improvisations of Yeti-era Amon Düül II, and the effects-pedal anchor of My Bloody Valentine, A Storm in Heaven may well have been the best neo-psychedelic album released in the 1990s. While often clumped together with the other English bands leading the shoegaze movement during the same time period, the Verve was creating a far different version of the thick atmospherics the genre became known for. Despite some minor cosmetic similarities, Loveless this was not. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that guitarist Nick McCabe gazed shoe-ward with far better results than Kevin Shields ever did. While Loveless remained firmly anchored to the early-90s British scene, A Storm in Heaven flew figure eights somewhere over its head."

Introducing Zeek and Zia
You Could Save 25% and Win $20,000
Our little sheep lets you know how you could save 25% and win $20,000 with a bang!
Pocket a Bundle
In January Budget Direct launched a new Television Ad featuring Michelle who finds out how she could Pocket a Bundle.
Are you getting Fleeced?
In November Budget Direct released a new Television Ad featuring our friendly little sheep getting fleeced to promote our 25% Online Home & Contents discount offer.
No Bulldust
June 2012 sees Budget Direct release the third instalment of the 'Pay Less or get $100' series of TV adverts. Michael and Michelle hit the car wash with an offer that's No Bulldust.
In January 2012 Budget Direct continued its 'Pay Less or get $100' offer by unveiling the latest instalment in their popular series of TV adverts. Michael and Michelle take to the outdoors with 'a deal that kicks...!'
You Could Save a Shipload
In October 2011 Budget Direct signalled the launch of its new 'Pay Less or get $100' offer by unveiling this instalment in their popular series of TV adverts. Michael and Michelle took to the water to challenge viewers to see if they can save a 'shipload' on their Car Insurance with Budget Direct.
Throughout 2009 and 2010 Budget Direct built on the success of the Michael and Michelle campaign by adding this now famous advert, which promoted our offer at that time, 'Pay Less or Get $50' in most Australian states. This 15-second television advertisement built on the previous adverts by adding a catchy new tune, delivered in Michelle's signature French style.
We all like to sing in the car and once Michelle got our tune in her head there was no stopping her. In this advert the cyclist tries to help Michelle get our name right, but as Michelle correctly pointed out at the time, "Call them what you like, pay less of get fifty dollars".
Launched in August 2010, this was our second advert in the series featuring Michael and Michelle. With Budget Direct's speedy claims process, Michelle was able to make her claim and have the car repaired before Michael got back from his business trip. It just shows another way that Budget Direct is cutting the cost, not the cover.
You Could Save Hundreds of Dollars
This Budget Direct TV advert was launched in September 2008. It was Australia's first introduction to Michael and Michelle, the couple that discovered they could save hundreds by switching their car insurance to Budget Direct. Michelle's quirky French take on our name helped make this ad instantly memorable.

Reviews & Ratings
Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this reviewOverall this was a good show and I recommend it. They had 4 comics (including Christian Finnegan) and an MC. The MC was VERY funny, as were 3 of 4 comics. One of the comedians wasn't as funny and he got into a verbal argument with a heckling audience member (who was then ejected). It took a toll on the mood, but the last comic did a good job salvaging the evening. Other than that, the show was great. I did note that the venue resembles more of a school cafeteria as opposed to professional comedy club environment. That said, most of the talent was definiteley pro. I would go back to another show here.
star this review starred report as inappropriateChristian Finnegan did not show up for this event. No one at the event told us about this nor were there any announcements made during the show.
Enjoy great stand up comedy in New York City's famous Theater District at Broadway Comedy Club, as they present "Comics...As Seen On TV!" The show features headliner Christian Finnegan (from VH1's "Best Week Ever", CBS' "Late Late Show" and Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show").
Christian Finnegan is one the most popular touring comedians in the country, building a following from his frequent appearances on VH1's "Best Week Ever", and Comedy Central shows like "Premium Blend" and a half hour special. Comedy Central sponsored the recent comedy tour to support Christian's last CD "Two For Flinching". His loveable "yuppie nerd" persona has made people laugh on shows as different as CBS's "Late Late Show" and Comedy Central's classic sketch show "Chappelle's Show".

Trip to Malmo for lunch
We took the train over the Orsund bridge to Malmo. Sweden is so close - we were there in about 30 minutes. We spent the day discovering Malmo - a little taste of Sweden. The sky is blue and the lady in the shop said we have been so lucky with the weather. Another great day.

When I walked in he shouts "Lisa! Have you been here all week? I haven't seen you!"
Which I really wanted to reply with "yes, I have been here all week...I just carry all my stuff with me all the time" ...

Snowflake soft stretch lace with a smooth floral pattern makes this softbra comfortable, adorable, and easy like a Saturday morning.
$55.00 - $110.00
If you're looking for a stunning long-line soft bra that hugs curves, stays anchored, and gives serious oomph all with no wire, then, this is the piece for you.
Refine Your Results By:
Select up to three bra sizes to filter by.
Given the wide range of brands and styles that we carry at Journelle, chances are you'll wear at least a few different sizes - certainly across brands, but sometimes even in different styles from the same brand. We recommend that you select the size you have most recently worn plus two "sister sizes". For example, if you are a 32D, we recommend you look at bras in sizes 30E and 34C as well.
$48.00Eberjey's classic little plunging triangle bra shape gets a gorgeous-against-the-skin upgrade in the shape of a beautiful bandeau lace overlay.
$59.00This super soft bra slips on over your head and, once on, has graceful racerback panels, wide straps, and lining in the cups (for discretion) in the face of grace.

$95.00This slinky, lacy softbra makes us want to indulge our flirty side with awesomely sheer lace, ruched straps, and a picture perfect bow. Heart.
$118.00A breath of fresh air, this brilliant turquoise lacy racerback has a subtle underwire that doesn't divide the cups, while two-panel cups provide shaping. Begging for summer.
$96.00Don't we all need a little magic in our lives? This graphically strapped softbra feels like the stuff of legend, a woodland glade, a spell cast. Feeling witchy? We are.

I still need to sort out some different textures - I just have too many other more interesting things to do!

A late thank you everyone - I ended up vegging out in front of the box for an hour
Now the fridge is a good idea - I must admit that this stuff gets left lying around on the floor in my 'studio' until I'm ready to play with it again. Yes, I'm afraid it doesn't get eaten! If I can't peel the lid off it and microwave it then it doesn't get cooked (which is a terrible admission).

WASHINGTON - Late last week, Mitt Romney's campaign unveiled its latest fundraising gambit: Donate just $3 and you are eligible to have dinner with reality-TV star Donald Trump - and, oh, yeah, the former Massachusetts governor will be there, too.
"Donate today and you are eligible for a chance to win: Airport transportation in the Trump vehicle," a "stay at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York," a chance to "tour the Celebrity Apprentice Boardroom," and an opportunity to "dine with Donald Trump and Mitt Romney," reads the message on Romney's campaign Web site.
But wait: There's more! Romney was also with Trump on Tuesday night at a Las Vegas fundraiser.
All this Trump talk raises a simple question: Why is Romney associating himself with a man who is the public face of the debunked idea that President Obama was not born in the United States, and, perhaps more important, a man whose sole principle in life is self-promotion?
The Obama campaign quickly sought to make political hay out of the Trump-Romney connection.
"Mitt Romney's continued embrace of Donald Trump and refusal to condemn his disgraceful conspiracy theories demonstrates his complete lack of moral leadership," said deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter. "If Mitt Romney lacks the backbone to stand up to a charlatan like Donald Trump because he's so concerned about lining his campaign's pockets, what does that say about the kind of president he would be?"
The Romney team tried to play down the Trump tie. "Governor Romney has said repeatedly that he believes President Obama was born in the United States," said spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "The Democrats can talk about Donald Trump all they want - Mitt Romney is going to talk about jobs and how we can get our economy moving again."
The argument put forward by defenders of the Romney-Trump alliance is centered on two ideas: money and the Republican base.
On the money front, these defenders argue that Trump's celebrity brings in a different kind of donor - including the precious small spenders whose dollars add up - that Romney might not otherwise attract. The low donation minimum - $3 - shows that Romney's finance people think Trump has appeal among these small donors.
As for the base, the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody laid out the argument this way on his blog:
"Associating with Donald Trump gives Mitt Romney a way of being brash without being brash. Trump is popular with a certain portion of the GOP, the portion that Romney doesn't connect with. Trump's bravado is not necessarily a bad thing for Romney because it connects him to a flamethrower and his audience without having to throw the flames himself."
True enough, on both fronts.
But dig a little deeper and it becomes more difficult to understand how the benefits of aligning with Trump outweigh the costs.
In terms of money, does anyone really think Romney is going to have trouble raising the cash he needs to be competitive with President Obama? In April alone, Romney and the Republican National Committee collected more than $40 million - roughly the same amount Obama and the Democratic National Committee brought in.
There's no doubt that Trump can help at the margins in terms of raising money but, with Romney and the RNC expected to collect north of $800 million for this election, cash isn't going to be a problem.
When it comes to speaking directly to the GOP base, it's absolutely true that Trump's brashness is more appealing than Romney's stuffed-shirt business pragmatism.
But poll after poll suggests that the party's conservative base quickly aligned behind Romney once it became clear he would be the nominee. The simple reality is that while Romney makes very few conservative hearts go pitter-patter, the base so dislikes and distrusts President Obama that it is going to back whoever ends up on the ballot as the alternative.
Romney's task is not then primarily to unify his base but rather to reach out to independents. And polling suggests Trump won't help there. In a December 2011 Washington Post-ABC News poll, 41 percent of independents had a favorable opinion of Trump while 47 percent saw him in an unfavorable light. And in a January Post-Pew poll, more than a quarter of people (26 percent) said a Trump endorsement would make them less likely to support a candidate while just 8 percent said it would make them more likely.
The best argument we have heard for Romney's recent embrace of Trump is that when the Donald speaks, the media cover it. He has a microphone, and so you'd rather have him in the fold than acting as a free radical. (That's the classic "best of a bad situation" argument.)
Even still, it seems like too risky a gamble for Romney to associate with Trump. Regardless of whether Trump is allied with Romney or not, Trump's first, second and third concerns are and always will be what's good for him.
Trump is, at this point in his life, largely an entertainer and a celebrity. He goes where the attention is. (Does anyone really believe that Trump thinks the president wasn't born in the United States?) In other words, Trump will be with Romney until he decides it is no longer advantageous for him to be with Romney.
Romney is playing by the rules of the game for a politician. Trump has no concern for - and almost certainly disdains - those rules. Allying yourself with someone who is playing by an entirely different set of rules (or no rules whatsoever) is a dangerous game.
A tweet by Trump on Tuesday is a case in point:
".BarackObama is practically begging MittRomney to disavow the place of birth movement, he is afraid of it and for good reason. He keeps using SenJohnMcCain as an example, however, SenJohnMcCain lost the election. Don't let it happen again."
And Trump had this to say Tuesday morning on CNBC: "His mother was never in the hospital, they don't know which hospital it was, his grandmother said he was born in Kenya. It all wouldn't matter except if you're born in a foreign country."
So, that happened.
Democrats are already working to take advantage of the Romney-Trump link, and you can bet that if The Donald makes any other impolitic comments between now and November (and he almost certainly will), the Obama campaign will try to make Romney answerable for them.
White House spokesman Jay Carney called the chatter about Obama's birth certificate a "ridiculous distraction" at his daily news conference Tuesday.
When it comes to Romney's gamble on Trump, we're with conservative columnist George F. Will. Said Will over the weekend on ABC's "This Week": "What voter is going to vote for him because he's seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me."

"16 & Pregnant" baby daddy Weston Gosa -- father of Whitney Purvis' kid -- was arrested for DUI in Georgia yesterday ... after allegedly crashing his car ... but the real reason we're posting this story ... dude's mug shot is legendary.
According to the Floyd County Police Department, 23-year-old Gosa smashed his car, and was placed under arrest when cops decided he had been driving under the influence. Police say Gosa was under the influence of prescription drugs at the time of his arrest.
Police also say Gosa was in possession of Xanax and Lorcet without a prescription, as well as a pipe with some kind of residue in it.
Gosa has been charged with felony possession of controlled substances, misdemeanor possession of drug-related objects, and DUI.
He's still in custody. He may or may not be aware of this.
my friend's half-sister made $20579 past week. she is making an income on the computer and bought a $327400 home. All she did was get fortunate and try the directions revealed on this web site Lazypay10.com
The show is called 16 & pregnant so I assume that SHE is 16? Does anyone see anything wrong with this because he is 23 years old!?
I'd drink heavily too if I were in his shoes. Clear case of MERCY by the court is needed here...
as Vincent explained I didnt even know that a mom able to make $4436 in 1 month on the internet. have you seen this web site www.LazyCash32.com
Dude is kinda cute in 2nd photo, like his goatee. Its sad Weston didn't use protection, the dude has screwed up his life for the next 18 + years.
the 16 & preg stars are the classiest peeps on the planet. i'm thinking that we should work on getting a few of them elected to office. i'd like to see a drunken brawl in the oval office sometime soon.

I'm looking to book some last minute hotel rooms in Scotland (Edinburgh & Glasgow) and London.
I remember coming across some great sites when I was researching Asia hotels but now I can't remember them (the site also had hotels around the world).
If anyone has any recommendations, it would be appreciated.
I've already checked LL but unfortunately we'll be in London during "World Travel Market"--some sort of convention-- so some of the hotels have blackout dates during our stay
recommend any last-minute hotel booking sites?

For London, I would almost always use Priceline. See www.betterbidding.com
Hotwire can also be good.
Also try:
www.kayak.com -
Report Abuse
what i can recommend is..go to Trip Advisor and see what hotel you want to stay..from there.. go to the official website. Booking through official website is better..sometimes, you can enjoy more facilities than what they offer in the OTA sites.. trust me.. i did this few times..and i compare it..price is same but i can get more facilities through the official website..
good luck! -
Report Abuse
On the other hand, I've done very well dozens of times, and gotten better rates and sometimes extra amenities (like complimentary breakfast) from third-party sites that I could not get from the hotel site. I'd say 3rd-party sites win out about 80-90% of the time for the hotels I end up booking.
Report Abuse
Laterooms, Priceline, Hotwire -- Really. REALLY terrific for London.
Not as great for Edinburgh/Glasgow but still worth a shot.
BTW - Almost no convention has much effect on London availability. The city is huge, w/ hundreds of hotels and thousands and thousands of rooms. An individual hotel may be booked up, but 4 others in the same block will have rooms. -
Report Abuse
I'm going to London next week and didn't have any luck in my price range/location on Hotwire or Priceline. Hotwire prices were consistently high for my dates and I didn't like the options offered (I use the hotel lists on betterbidding.com and biddingfortravel.com to try and suss out which hotels are which. Two days of bidding on PL met with no success.
I ended up using the BA Holidays site, which I've used before, and got a good deal on the Rembrandt (5 nights for the price of 4) plus continental breakfast. Average price, including taxes, is around $176 Cdn per night. I know the hotel, like it, and also know that at the continental buffet I'll have a good selection of items I can fill up on, thus requiring little in the way of lunch and saving some money there. I wouldn't get a breakfast included with Hotwire or PL.
Some of the hotels BA uses are not great, so I always cross reference with Trip Advisor. But I've found their prices to be pretty decent, with some good deals.

While I'd rather book directly, sometimes it's easier and faster to use booking.com. They have reviews of hotels by people who have booked. Often though, they don't have the small hotels or B&B's that are quaint or already busy. Also I agree with using Priceline for airport hotels. Just do some homework and see what hotels in which areas they are offering and make sure that they would all be acceptable to you.
Report Abuse
Thanks, just the info I was looking for!
Walkabout--that's the site that I couldn't remember, I like their format.
For priceliners -- have you found that you end up with the "priceline" (ie less than desirable, older, smaller, poor loc) rooms in London?
My experience has been about 50-50. Never used for London though...
I'd be very happy at the Caledonian Hilton. But Betterbidding and biddingfortravel haven't been updated in a while, it seems. So unsure if this prop is still being offered.
Did come across a TA review of the property stating they used the "secret rooms" but I can't figure out which hotel is which. -

Expedia and Travelocity are not had either. I did a package (flight/hotel) with them, booked on a Sunday to leave next Thursday. The hotel was very nice, and would normally have been outside my price range.

taggie, is that the Rembrandt, Knightsbridge? If so, that seems like a good deal.

This was on another thread for the UK:
"There is apparently a sale set to begin for Travelodge hotels starting tomorrow at 6 am UK time. I have never stayed at one but I understand some have family rooms. It's basic accommodation but perhaps some London Travelodges are better than others. Anyway, it might be worth checking out if you can get an outstanding deal - it says some rooms as low as £9 if you can believe it."

Sue878: That post you copied was to advertise the 'moneysavingexpert' website. It has been deleted by the editors.
There are NO £9 Travelodge rooms in London. The Travelodge in Covent Garden averages more than £80 a night.
Junkgalore: "have you found that you end up with the "priceline" (ie less than desirable, older, smaller, poor loc) rooms in London?"
I normally rent flats - but when I'm in London 3 nights or less I almost always use PL. I have never had a bad experience - nor a worse room than I would probably get booking directly. In fact, usually when I check in, the front desk asks me what type of room I prefer/my preferences -

In the past there have been 9-pound Travelodge rooms that are well-located in London, and there may be again, but you have to be one of the first respondents when Travelodge advertises a sale, which they typically do several times per year.
Report Abuse
WillT: There are £9 rooms all over the country -- but haven't been in London for quite a while. Lately the best in London were £29 - but mostly in outlying properties. Last fall there WAS £29 availability at Covent Garden. For one night -- but the nights on either side were £97.
So not only did one have to be quick -- the stay could only be for that specific date. -
Report Abuse
Wow, I guess I screwed up my first post. I didn't intend to advertise any website on that thread. I guess I shouldn't have included the link. That was just the site that mentioned the sale and I read some comments on it by people who got rooms for £9 in the past. I was quite surprised. I knew they had some low rates but that seemed pretty low. Maybe I'll check when the sale starts and see if any £9 rooms actually materialize. Janis, perhaps you could google "Travelodge uk £9" and see what you find?
I think I may just go back to reading and not posting. I tried to be helpful to someone and it backfired. I actually just stayed at some truly outstanding B & B's and guest houses in the UK and was contemplating doing a trip report so I registered.
My apologies for posting the link in error. No advertising was intended - that was my first and only visit to that travel deals website. I will try to learn the forum rules better before I post again. If I post again. -

Okay I see...no super-cheap rates likely in London but perhaps elsewhere in the UK. I get it.
Report Abuse
junkgalore, yes that's the hotel (Rembrandt in S. Ken/Knightsbridge). I've stayed there a number of times over the years. And yeah, the deal I got for this trip is a good one. I did get a similar deal about 2 years ago too.
I was trying on PL for Nov. 3-8 (5 nights). Can't recall what I bid up to but I did want to keep the total for the stay under $1000 all in and was mindful of the PL fees/taxes, so I probably went up to around $155 US. I went for 5 star in Mayfair/Westminster area first (have got it for $135 in the past) then 4* in that area as well. I don't bid with PL for S. Kensington 4 stars because I don't like a couple of hotels they use so I don't want to risk it.
I know the Rembrandt and so was happy to just pay that price, know what I'm getting (with breakfast to boot). -

NoSco, please don't be so hard on yourself, and please feel free to post again. Your error was an easy one to make, and no harm came from it.
Your input regarding B&Bs in the UK would be much appreciated by many travelers, so please do post your trip report as you originally planned. -

taggie, 5* in those areas seem to go for $500+ per night. I'm just afraid to go to $250-$275 and end up with a property I don't really like.
Frankly, if I could get breakfast and a nice hotel in great loc, I'd be thrilled with under $200/night.
The Rembrandt was not available for our dates.
We're considering Egerton and Kensington House, both offer breakfast. Egerton is about $350per night while Kensington is about $250.
NoSco, I agree with walkabout. I think malicious spammers need to be called out but totally understand that you were just trying to be helpful. I personally love reading B&B reviews here! (pls post if any of them are on my route, lol!) -
Report Abuse
Thanks, walkabout.
I actually did check the Travelodge sale - if the OP is interested there were rooms in Edinburgh in the £25 to £35 per night in November (I picked a random 4 night stay). The rates go cheaper as the dates get further away. I saw £9's and £12.50's later on. I'm sure they go quickly though, as mentioned above.
However, if it were me I would probably opt for a nice guest house. That being said, though the B&B I stayed at in Edinburgh was very nice, it did not quite measure up to the others on my trip. I'm not sure I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. In the future I would put location higher on the list when choosing a hotel/B&B in Edinburgh.
As for London, there were indeed no cheapo rooms in November.
Sorry Junkgalore, going off your topic here, but I did find the elusive £9 room in London. Surprisingly, it was for dates at Christmas. I'm not sure I'd want to spend my Christmas at any of them but I suppose it would be a novelty to pay only £9 for my room.
4 night stay - Dec 23, 24, 25, 26
London Southwark £22, £9, £9, £22
Covent Garden £12.50, £15, £9, £22
Waterloo £22, £9, £9, £15
London City Rd £9, £9, £9, £9
Kings Cross £15, £9, £9, £9
I went through to the final booking page on a couple so the prices were accurate. Also, the low prices appeared over 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Chances are the real low rates are all gone by now. So Janis, as of 5:30 am or thereabouts in the UK there were at least a few £9 rooms in London. -

Janisj: I did click on the Travelodge UK web site and it did show rooms for 9 lbs.(how you do the pound sign) but I didn't check on specifics, so they probably sold out real quick, I guess.

Red Sox coverage in today's Globe
Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff
March 5, 2011 08:11 AM
Brian Cashman thinks the Red Sox have a better team to start this season. The Sox definitely had the better team last night as they beat the Yankees 5-3.
Nick Cafardo's On Baseball column looks at the speed of Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner and wonders who would win a race.
The notebook has Josh Beckett back on the mound, Adrian Gonzalez moving ahead and some questions about Alfredo Aceves.
