Despite some eerily matchy matchy parental units looming ominously overhead, Suri Cruise looked as adorable as ever yesterday at Hyde Park in London.
At 19 months, Suri has already been to California, New York, Germany, France and Italy. England is just one more stop on her quest for world domination.
#8 -The reason you don't see the other kids with Tom is probably because they are in school like most kids their age are. They live with Tom and Katie....we see lots of pics of Tom and Katie at their soccer games, etc. You need to get out more. Why the focus on their height? Is that important or something....weird that anyone cares about that.
C'mon people. She just ran a marathon. I'm sure part of her thinness is due to that. I have never seen any heavy marathon runners. Have you?
I think its so sweet and how Tom and Katie don't mind Suri being photographed..Unlike Julia Roberts who has a real problem with that..Maybe her kids just aren't as cute as Suri.
How pointless.
How sad that I'm as sick as the rest of you that frequent this site.
Go read real news. All of you.
That said, I hope someone directs Suri here when she's old enough -
2 things I can't handle (1) people who compete over a child's
"cuteness". All children are special and closer to perfect than their parents (2) people who don't understand that some celeb's are more private than others. Some use their family as publicity, to create a false image, others put their children's safety first. Some children may be afraid and moms choose to keep their faces out of the press incase some sicko wants to harm them.
As a mom I can understand that. At work I leave my family out of things, everyone's always trying to kill me, imagine what they'd do to my children. If someone wants to hurt you they hurt who you love.
Yeah that does look like the omen and still wearing that wig. Hell's version of the Kennedy's. Think it's time for Mel and Julia to do a sequel.
I think Suri is a beautiful child. Nicole Kidman recently did an interview where she talked about her kids being told to call her Nicole, and how Tom has insisted that they be raised as scientologists. I dont have an opinion on Nicole, but this is Toms third marriage, and he does seem like a control freak with money.
These people don't give a RAT'S ASS about the planet. It's ALL about the mighty$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Oh, I forgot, you people are VERY IMPORTANT, doing VERY IMPORTANT THINGS.
Suri's carbon footprint is ALREADY bigger than the LIFETIME of the whole population of a small TOWN.
Oh, and how's about taking in some homeless people into all your EMPTY, ENERGY BURNING MANSIONS??????????????????????????????????????
I see the Scientology drones are busy with their blogging duties, must suck to be chained to a computer trying to come up with nice things to say about aliens. You can tell the drones BS from the over-the-top compliments that anyone with half a brain can see is crap.
Tom and Katy live in seperate bedrooms (Katie herself admits this is true in Star Magazine ) and that says it all about how happy this couple is. I am betting Katie has been "implanted" in Germany (by some means other than Tom) and left pregnant. That's a wig Katie is wearing. She appears to have had something done to her face that has altered her features, and she has been wearing this wig for a while. It is similar to her own hairstyle, so not so noticeable when she doesn't need it anymore. She can just say she changed her hairstyle/color again. Wait for the change "back."
Everywhere Katie goes, she has one or several Scientology handlers hovering up close and personal, but they move out of sight for PR photos, or when paps are around. They haven't been perfect at this, and sometimes several of them are photographed surrounding the Cruise fam. But at an InTouch interview, one Scientology handler would not leave Kati'es side while she was being interviewd. She AND Suri are captives in a dangerous, evil cult, and if Katie brings anymore children into this horrid life of hers, she will prove what a selfish, money-grubbing b#tch she is. Bad enough for Suri, but Kati's initial infatuation with Tom and money and fame can partially excuse Katie's bad choice there. Now Katie KNOWS what she got herself into, knows that Tom is not the adored super-star she mistakenly thought he was, and she should refuse to be Tom's Scientology's baby-making machine. Tom's other children spent the summer at a Scientology camp, that's why you never heard from them, and they are "Home"-schooled in Scientology. Not at Tom's home, though, or Nicole's, so the "Home" is another interesting aspect of their whereabouts. From F.A.C.T.net:
Travolta, Cruise and other celebrities con fans and media
FACTNet alert October 15, 1998
A director of FACTNet recently spent 20 hours interviewing former high-level Scientologist Jesse Prince . Jesse was second in command of all Scientology's operations worldwide. In these conversations, Jesse disclosed information never previously revealed on Scientology's celebrities.
The following synopsis on Scientology's celebrities is a condensation of information from Jesse Prince and other Scientology defectors.
Celebrities' Endorsements of Scientology a Scam
Scientology's celebrities are running a global scam on their fans and on the media. Stars like John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Chick Corea, Kirstie Alley, Nicole Kidman, Kelly Preston, Priscilla Presley, Lisa Presley, and others are secretly being given lucrative compensation for endorsing Scientology. In the recent film The Truman Show, Truman's wife incessantly pitched ads for household items, while her unaware husband was convinced she was simply stating her sincere fondness for the goods. In the same way, star Scientologists have betrayed their fans and hoodwinked interviewers by acting as though glowing endorsements of Scientology are strictly from the heart, of their own accord, and certainly not paid Scientology advertisements.
In reality, Scientology's celebrities are compensated richly for endorsements with:
Free Scientology services costing up to $1,000 dollars per hour. John Travolta alone has had in excess of $100,000 of free services in compensation.
Commissions of up to 10% for bringing people into Scientology (who subsequently pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for Scientology's services).
One or more Scientology staff being sent to travel full time with celebrities as "support," at Scientology's expense.
Free luxury accommodations and carte blanc use of the finest Scientology facilities and properties. Scientology's current leader David Miscavige learned that after Tom Cruise divorced Mimi Rogers, he was persuing Nicole Kidman. Miscavige also learns that Cruise has a fantasy of running through a field of tall wheat grass with Kidman. So, Miscavige orders a section of Scientology's desert compound in Giman Hot Springs to be plowed under and planted with wheat. At a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, and through the slave labor of cult members who work all day and all night for weeks, a field of tall wheat grass is grown in the desert so that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman may run though it. During their visit, Cruise and Kidman are provided the additional luxuries of a specially prepared suite, maids, and two four-star chefs, all at scientology's expense as a quid pro quo exchange for Cruise's endorsements of Scientology.
Marriages and Divorces Arranged
Scientology actively helps arrange celebrities' divorces and marriages when Scientology deems th
Where are Tom's kids from his previous marriage? I guess because they are adopted they aren't in the pic anymore?? Sad. Suri is weird looking though.
Tom's kids are being raised and home-schooled by Scientologists.
The Scandal of Scientology, by Paulette Cooper | Next | Prev | Cites | Index
Chapter 19
The High Cost of Scientology
It's the only Church I've ever seen with a cashier's booth.
-- a woman who quit after one session. -- Time{1}
When people first enter this exciting world of the totally free, they rarely realize just how expensive it is going to be. After all, the first course costs only $15, and for that price one gets close to sixteen hours of Scientology. What people usually don't realize is that they will never see this $1-an-hour rate again. Later it'll be more like $25, and sometimes more. One man who paid $1,200 in advance for a 50 hour course completed it in 20 minutes, which meant he spent about $1 a second for auditing.{2}
Scientology has two goals, and two types of courses to match: "auditing" people or "processing"; and teaching people to audit others or "training." The first series on the Hubbard hierarchy, auditing or processing, consists of several courses or grades, which enable a "preclear" to become a "clear." If each course is taken separately, it costs approximately (the prices are always changing) $750 just to go from O-IV grade, $500 for the next one, $1,200 for Grade V ("Power Processes"), $775 for Grade VI, $600 for "Solo" (in which you audit yourself) and finally $800 for the final "clear" or a total of approximately $4,625, although package deals bring the price down a bit lower.
But that's not all, since one can also go eight levels beyond "clear"to achieve the state of "Operating Thetan VIII" -- for only $2,850 more.{3} An Operating Thetan, by the way, is someone who can function apart from his body,{4} and OTs (Operating Thetans) are said to be able to lift telephones off the hook in another room and read books while some distance away from them.{5} The value of this accomplishment may not be readily apparent, but one practical Scientologist claimed she could visit her parents in Texas while her body remained in Washington, D.C.{6} Fortunately for the travel industry, not too many Scientologists can do this.
But processing or auditing is only half the story. Scientology also trains its followers to audit others.To qualify for this doesn't even require a high school education -- just another prescribed series of Scientology courses.{7} Scientologists generally suggest people start with this series, and, in fact, unless specifically asked, they don't even tell them about the prices of the other group until later.
This second group starts at a modest $15 for the first course, $30 for the next, $45 for the third, and then suddenly leaps to their more typical rate of $1,300.{8} It generally takes at least a couple of months to become an auditor, although Scientologists have boasted that they can train some people to become auditors "in less than twenty minutes."{9} Those who wish to take more courses must go to the special Scientology academies in Los Angeles, Scotland or Saint Hill and pay additional expenses for room, board, books, equipment and transportation besides.{10}
In addition to the price of the courses, there are many other expenses. A Scientologist must buy many of Hubbard's books, and often attend special lectures or Congresses, which usually run tapes of Hubbard, or speeches by top Scientologists. In addition, a Scientologist may take extra auditing (at about $25 a session) or additional courses that are outside of the prescribed levels of treatment or training.{11}
For example a number of the Orgs used to offer a special "Money Processing Course" which was supposed to increase the Scientologist's "money making potential."{12} (This course consisted of having the person think of a number of ways in which he could waste money, probably under the principle that one must find what a preclear can do and then "better that ability.")
If a preclear complained that he couldn't afford the Scientology rates, he was told to take this course for only $35 to help him learn how to earn more.[*] The "Money Making Potential" course may have helped many Scientologists but one wonders how. One man who took it said it was so worthwhile, he "made $5,000" a few days after completing it. When he was pressured to tell how he had done this, he finally admitted that after the course was completed he had gone to a bank and taken the money out on loan.{13}
[*] Footnote:
At one of the Scientology lectures I attended, someone asked "If the goal of Scientology is to help the world, why is it so expensive that very few people in the world can afford to be helped by it?" The person was told that "nothing is expensive when your happiness is at stake," which, of course, did not answer the question.
Usually, the Scientologists will refer to their free "Personal Efficiency Course" as an exam
Very cute child too bad mom & dad are freaks and that's not her dad Chris Klien is! Tom does not touch pootang only peters

Historical Traveler Reviews Pestana Carlton Madeira Funchal
Would stay at this hotel again
Having just returned from a week at this hotel, I would certainly recommend it to friends. The facilities were very good, the staff were friendly and courteous and the location was convenient.
Our most enjoyable holiday for years!
Having referred to the existing reviews when planning our holiday I felt I should record our family's experience of Madeira. We are a family of 4 - 2 children aged 14 and 11, so were not entirely sure that Madeira would be a good choice for us all, having got the distinct impression that a holiday there was more suited to the more elderly traveller. How wrong could we be!
Great location for Town Centre
This hotel was completely over stated. We were on the 16th floor and still could hear the traffic all night long. They seem to honk horns and sirens go off irrespective of the time of night.
We ate in the Pub and also Taverna Grill. The Pub was as would be expected cheap and cheerfull. The Taverna Grill very expensive and nothing to boast about.
The music was very good from all different duets in the latter part of the evening.
We did not have a bar in the room only a smelly fridge. It looked as though the room was very recently updated so it was a shame it was not as advertised.
Would definitely go back to Funchal but not to this hotel.
Great location for exploring Funchal
My wife and I stayed at the Pestana Carlton the last week in April and had a great time. The Carlton is located within easy walking distance to either Funchal or the Lido. The pool areas were very nice, clean and the upper pool offered a fantastic view of the harbor. The one thing we noticed is the clientele were quite a bit older than other places we visited. But, it seemed Madeira in general was a vacation spot for an older crowd. We stayed in a studio apartment(small Kitchenette) that had great views. The staff were very nice and accomodating. The Carlton in general offered a few things you don't find everywhere. Music and get-togethers in the afternoons, not quite my taste. But, a nice touch. Over all very satisfied. I would stay here again on my next trip to Madeira
Great food and service
We stayed there for our 25th wedding anniversary and found it to be excellent especially the food and the staff. Absolutely no complaints at all. Will go back there again sometime.
Great Food/attentive staff
We stayed here in June 2003. Although the hotel is not aethetically pleasing from the outside, the views from the balcony (7th floor) were amazing. We could see the mountains and at night the view was just as beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was excellent and plentiful, the staff friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The swimming pools were spotless and never crowded. Having it's own landing stage was great and we did swim in the sea (VERY cold) from there, making it heavenly to get into the salt water pool to warm up afterwards! The pool staff were great, bringing drinks or snacks whenever you wanted. The evening entertainment was very good and again, attentive staff meant that you didn't have to move from your table on the terrace overlooking the sea, if you didn't want to.
Lovely location
have stayed here in timeshare accomadation for last 4 years and will be there again in march.
The staff have always extremely helpful and polite.
We would not even consider moving our accomadation elsewhere.
Only wish we were there now, we know what we are missing.
Oh well only about 12 weeks to wait.
Worn out and shabby with ongoing construction work
Stayed at the Pestana Carlton August 2004, very disappointed with the rooms and the general condition of the hotel, I think 2 stars would be generous. The staff are not helpful and pigeons dine with you in the restaurant (they leave the doors open). Overnight very loud construction work on the plumbing was going on, making sleep impossible, but from the smell in the rooms, the plumbing does need changing. I would not recommend a stay here.
Dont pay for the seaview
I stayed here for a week and found it to be an shabby approx 4 star hotel. The divecentre Madeira Divepoint is excellent , advice book independently. Take care and do not book advance seaview supplement. the hotel and the travel companies are economical with the truth.
We had paind 144 Sterling for this for a week and ended up on the corner of the Harbour and the road. Very noisy to open the patio windows.
Otherwise hotel is nice to stay in.
Our Honeymoon Hotel
We had a superb experience at this hotel. The food was good, and the service excellent.This dates back to 1998, but I doubt if little has changed the front desk staff were very helpful, and funny, and made our stay a dream.We would recommend the experience.

What the Heck is AMD doing?
3/21/2011 by: Josh Smith
It's a valid argument that
has become the new
. Everyone is racing their 3D monitors and TV's to the market while
studios are pumping out 3D movies
left and right. On the PC side of things NVIDIA is the 3D juggernaut thanks to their
3D Vision technology
, having enjoyed a lonely reign at the top of the heap all but unchallenged.
AMD plans to change that with their ecosystem -
Newcomer: Glasses for viewing content using AMD's HD3D technology
The company subtly launched their own flavor of 3D enablement under the HD3D moniker in the last quarter of 2010. The launch was so subtle in fact that few took note of it and only now is AMD's true plan coming to light.
The boys from Markham recently paid us a visit to make sure there was no mistake as to their commitment to take on the green giant. In their arsenal they wielded a 40" Samsung 3D LED TV, a custom AMD-based (of course) rig wrapped in a
sleek Lian Li case
and an armload of 3D content, erasing any thoughts that they were tepidly stepping into the 3D market. The HD3D demo ranged from 3D Blu-ray movies to the latest gaming titles and even some stunning 3D pictures.
HD3D Test rig: Compact AMD HTPC and 40" Samsung LED TV display
During the visit we spoke with AMD at length about HD3D, its roadmap and plans for the future (Could Eyefinity HD3D be coming down the pipe?) We also got the scoop on AMD's open approach to 3D and its stark contrast to NVIDIA's more heavily managed approach with 3D Vision.
We will examine all of these points and more as part of an ongoing series entitled "Living with 3D". We will be testing multiple 3D technologies over the coming weeks as well as speaking with industry experts to determine if 3D is a technology you want to live with, or merely a novelty that loses its appeal after your third or fourth 3D movie.
The product demo is done, the hand-picked content has been cast aside and over the next few weeks AMD's HD3D solution will undergo the true
litmus test
in our labs. In order to make sure HD3D doesn't get lonely, we are also testing an NVIDIA 3D Vision setup as well and will look to compare and contrast these different approaches to 3D.
So, what the hell is AMD doing? They are taking on a established 3D giant in a big way. And yes, we will be there to let you know the outcome.

Piano, Music Theory, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn
Hi! My name is Beckie and I have played music for all of my life. I play many different instruments such as the Trumpet, French horn and Piano. I graduated from Chapman University in 2010 with 2 degrees in music, Music Education and Music Performance on French horn. I also taught elementary school for 3 years and was a brass coach for a Montessori Academy. I have taught privately for 10 years now and love the one-on-one attention that I can give the students. I currently work for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, I perform with two different orchestras and am in a Brass Ensemble called the Vine Street Brass that performs for events around the city.
I look forward to working with your or your child in helping to start or continue a musical instrument!
Flugelhorn, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Trumpet, French Horn, Tuba
Music began for me extremely young ( age 4 ) first with piano, then with trumpet and saxophone. During High School my speciality changed to Trumpet and focused on that instrument.
During my time playing I have enjoyed being a section leader and playing for many great ensembles that bridged many genres including Classical, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Blues, Pop, as well as Orchestral.
My teachers have included many trumpet professionals including Barry Perkins and Dave Evans. I have also been influenced by and attended masterclasses by Wayne Bergeron and Malcolm McNab among others.
I have made the focus of my life music and I love playing and teaching music and I love meeting new people.
Piano, French Horn
With a recent Masters Degree from the University of Southern California in Music Performance, I enjoy performing music as well as teaching both new and transfer students! I grew up in a musical family, playing piano since the age of 5, and French Horn since I was 9. I have been teaching for many years while earning my Bachelors and Masters degrees, as well as the last two years since I graduated.
Lessons involve a well-rounded education in reading music, music theory, and music history. Students and parents can tailor the lessons to their own needs and wants, and repertoire can range from Classical to Pop music depending on the client.
The reason I teach is to provide access to music to anyone who wishes to make it a part of their lives in whatever way they like, I make sure the student has fun while learning a skill that can benefit them for the rest of their lives.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting, Trumpet, French Horn, Tuba, Upright Bass
To say that music is a passion of mine would be an understatement. It is my true escape, my therapy, my bliss.
And, what do I love more than playing it? Teaching it!
Music lessons are an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with learning and perfecting an instrument.
I consider it a privilege to work with others on their musical journey. That is why I spent years training to teach and I now spend hours preparing for my music lessons each week.
I want to help you take your musicianship to its full potential.
Music Performance, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba
I am a middle school band and orchestra teacher and brass musician with performance experience on horn, trumpet, and euphonium, as well as voice. Some of the ensembles I have performed with include the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Masters Orchestra, and Crown City Symphony. I also coordinate the Los Angeles Hornsaplenty Christmas event and invite my students to participate in it as well as TubaChristmas in Los Angeles or Anaheim, because if you don't enjoy playing your instrument, you shouldn't keep playing it!
I hold a BA in music education and a teaching credential from California State University in Northridge, and have studied with Roy Poper (studio trumpeter), David Washburn (trumpet for California Philharmonic and LA Chamber Orchestra), and Brian O'Connor (studio hornist). For this reason, I tend to favor methods from James Stamp and Vincent De Rosa, but feel that every lesson plan should be tailored to the individual student's needs.
With nearly a decade of teaching experience in the Los Angeles Unified School District, I have guided many students in playing various instruments and continue to dedicate my time and energy to refining my instructional delivery so that it makes the trickiest concepts clear in the students' mind.
Guitar, Piano, Clarinet, Music Theory, Trumpet, Ukulele, French Horn
I grew up in a music store, and learned a love for music at an early age. I started piano at age 3, and just kept adding instruments from there. I majored in music at MidAmerica Nazarene University, where I was on scholarship for Piano, Trumpet and French Horn. I have taught General Music, Beginning Band, and Beginning Orchestra in four LA area private and charter schools, as well as teaching music classes for home-school co-op groups in the Hollywood area. I've been teaching private lessons for nearly 10 years, taking students from ages 4-adult, from beginner to intermediate skill levels.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

In Sula, how does the novel potray relations between mothers, daughters, and grandmothers?
Topic: Sula
In Sula, how does the novel potray relations between mothers, daughters, and grandmothers?
1 Answer | add yours
In Sula, the relationships between daughters, mothers, and grandmothers is quite complicated. Sula's mother Hannah tells her daughter that she loves her but that she does not like her. Hannah senses an obligatory bond to Sula, but she does not see why she needs to actually like her own daughter. Similarly, when Hannah is burning, Sula sees her from the window and smiles while she watches her mother burn. These actions and responses seem unfathomable when viewed from the perspective of ultimate love, trust, and caring among family members. However, the characters in Sula see their individuality as paramount over the assumed feelings that they should have for their family members.

Milken Institute Report - Which states are leading in tech and science, and why? | |
States with the best tech and science assets tend to have the strongest economies. Where is the tech sector most prevalent? Which states have the skilled workers to sustain these innovative companies now and in the future? Massachusetts is first – again – in the Milken Institute's State Technology and Science Index 2012. The index tracks and evaluates every state's tech and science capabilities – and their success at converting those assets into companies and high-paying jobs. One of the most comprehensive examinations of state technology and science assets ever compiled, the index looks at 79 unique indicators that are categorized into five major components: research and development inputs, risk capital and entrepreneurial infrastructure, human capital investment, technology and science workforce, and technology concentration and dynamism.

The Times Leader has recently run two opinion articles about the Specter-Leahy Asbestos Trust Fund that bring up a number of concerns over this legislation. The most recent one stated, "There is a great deal of misunderstanding and misinformation about Senator Specter's legislation to compensate victims of asbestos exposure." This is very true and the editorial from which that sentence is pulled is no exception.

Yes, there have been bankruptcies due to asbestos liability. However, many of these bankruptcies have been Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings allow a company to compartmentalize asbestos liability in order to conduct business as usual. Many of these companies have not had any change in employment and have seen boosts in profits since filing Chapter 11. A perfect example is Haliburton, which filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year in order to "clean up" asbestos liability issues.

Initially, yes, the trust is privately funded at a level of $140 billion. However, as recently pointed out by the Congressional Budget Office after reviewing the fund and enrollment projections, this amount is grossly inadequate and will result in expense to the taxpayer. The author of the Sept. 12 letter states that claims would then be reverted to the courts. However, if it is guaranteed that the fund will run out and claims will go back to the courts then how is this helping the problem of backlogged litigation?

Bipartisan opposition to the legislation has stemmed from some of these funding problems among other things. Small business advocates have argued that many small businesses with asbestos liability are going to end up paying a disproportionate share of the cost for funding the trust. Other organizations have serious concern over the criteria for enrollment, such as FreedomWorks, organized by conservative advocate Dick Armey, best known for its fight against tax increases and government spending, who are opposing the legislation on the basis of the arbitrary enrollment policies, focusing on the need for purely medical criteria instead.

The comment that the legislation places bans on manufacturers using asbestos is also troublesome. While this is an important step, it is irresponsible to think that this solves the problem of asbestos exposure. The legislation does nothing to address concerns of naturally occurring asbestos - i.e. asbestos ore that is paired with other minerals such as dolomite in the ground and is now exposed to the environment due to quarrying or mining. There are 41 known sites of exposed asbestos across Pennsylvania and according to recent research by U.C. Davis, the closer one lives to one of these locations, the higher the risk for developing lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Yet the Specter legislation does not require any tracking of these sites, nor any disclosure by developers or contractors to individuals eventually using the site of the known health risk. That is to say that a township could purchase reclaimed land to build a school, and even if the mine owners, Realtors, and developers knew that there was a risk, any children who were exposed would not be covered by this fund. That may seem like an exaggeration, but satellite photos of asbestos sites in Pennsylvania show schools, golf courses, shopping centers and even housing developments within yards of or directly on top of asbestos sites.

In fact, there was just a criminal case settled in Pennsylvania, sentencing a number of individuals who had purposefully cut corners on asbestos cleanup to more than 300 years in prison. Individuals exposed to asbestos through this malicious act would not be liable under the enrollment criteria of the fund. They would have to file for exceptional medical status, which is an extremely arbitrary determination based on length and type of exposure not on symptoms -- set by bureaucrats not by doctors -- despite the phrase "medical status."

In short, there are a number of serious flaws with this legislation. It has been called a bad bill by groups advocating for victims' rights; it has been opposed by members of both parties based on its implementation; and with the Congressional Budget Office Report recently released, it has been shown to be fiscally unsound.

I don't think you get how hard it is to trade down. Almost every year teams at the top of the draft say they want to trade down and then fail doing so.

Drew Brees will be the cover cursee for this year's installment of Madden NFL Roster Update '11. If you ask me, it should be Madden '01 A.B. because all previous versions came before the Breesus. In fact, Madden '30,000,000 B.B. had a dinosaur with a leather helmet on the cover. Inside, in lieu of a disc, there was primordial ooze. Man, that was some fun ooze. Tim Tebow and Carl Everett dispute that the game ever existed, but I say what of the fossilized strategy guides?
Also: the Saints are screwed. And none too soon. You get a Super Bowl and an overly sympathetic David Simon television series in one year? Back to the swamps of mediocrity with you!

You make some very good points. It would be very tough choice and I cringe at the thought.
Since Romney and Obama are virtually the same, does it make a difference? Maybe if you consider that in order for Ron or more likely Rand to make a run for WH in 2016, we can't have an incumbent republican president. I just don't see a 3rd party working.

Primitivization of the EU Periphery: The Loss of Relevant Knowledge
The European periphery . from Greece to Spain and the Baltic States . is hard hit by economic crises in the form of unemployment and falling real wages. The immediate reasons for these crises, .the straw that broke the nationsÿ backÿ so to say, are not the same. The countries in crisis may have had irresponsible budget deficits or irresponsible housing and prop-erty booms, but . as this article argues . the present underlying problems in the European Union can partly be attributed to ignoring previously well-understood economic insights and wisdom based on the interplay between geography, technology, and economic structure. This ignored knowledge abounds in the German-speaking literature, in this chapter represented by three economists: Heinrich von Thünen, Friedrich List, and Joseph Schumpeter, whose collective lives span from 1783 to 1950. Although all three worked in the periphery of what is normally referred to as The German Historical School of Economics, they all centered their analysis on a qualitative understanding of economic phenomena which disappeared from ruling economic theory, and consequently also from the understanding of politicians.Download Info

Taylor and I had a wonderful day. (m)

After we took care of my follow up appt (LOVED the dr they referred me to), we had some fun.
We went shoe shopping for her, she's not sure what she thinks about them. Little girl sandals are so cute. Then we stopped for lunch. Went and did some other shopping and picked up her pictures. She and I just had a good time making each other giggle (of course I had the job of keeping her out of EVERYTHING within reach).
I can't believe my sweet baby girl is going to be one tomorrow!!!
Holly & Taylor (who has a very big day coming up)

Holly, glad to hear that you had such a good day! Hopefully Taylor will be more into shoe shopping soon ~ lol. Please take care of yourself and keep us updated. Kristie

Sounds like a wonderful mommy-daughter day!! So sweet :o) And ITA about the sandals. I just found some "big-girl" nightgowns for Zoie and I love them. She looks so grown! (DH thinks I'm silly for making such a big deal out of it but I just can't help it, you know?)LOL
Glad you found a good DR!!

In discussing Lee Daniels' latest big-screen debut of The Butler, Piers Morgan asked the film producer and director is America "a more or less racist country since Barack Obama became president?"
Sitting aside cast members Cuba Gooding Jr. and Lenny Kravitz, Daniels responded by saying:
Wow, that's a powerful question. I think that people are angry that he is president… So, yea. I think so, sadly. I think so.
Morgan immediately turns to recording artist turned actor Lenny Kravitz and proceeds to ask him had he ever suffered, first hand, the kind of racism being discussed, to which Kravitz answered:
Yes, as a child. In growing up, going to school. You always bump into that kind of thing, by certain individuals. Has the world gotten better, in general? Yes… but it's still there. There are people who, when you move forward –– there are always going to be people that don't want to go that way, don't want to buy into that, they want to hold on to their traditions and their beliefs and the way they were raised.

"A friend previously used Tiny Prints and recommended I try it. I was not disappointed! I ordered the matte cards and return address envelopes and the print quality is fantastic. I asked for a designer review to move a heading on the card so my picture could fit and a proof was emailed to me within 24 hours to approve. Perfect! Also the shipping was extremely fast and I was able to track my order from the US to my home address in Sydney, Australia. I will definitely use this service again in future."
"The card turned out great! The yellow color was a little more green than I had expected and the print was very slightly grainy, but otherwise loved it!"
"I loved the design of these cards and the color options were perfect! I wanted something classy, slightly (but not overly) trendy, and quirky. I love how they came out. The thickness and texture of the paper was perfect and the printing quality was spot on."
"Thankyou for such beautiful Birth Announcement cards. The design and quality exceeded our expectations. We will definately be ordering the Christening invites through your company. Thankyou again!!"
"This card is lovely in its simplicity. You have the option to remove the large letter in the corner, to put the focus more on the baby. I adapted this as a Baptism invitation and it worked out very well. I had it printed on the "pearl shimmer" paper and the subtle shimmer was a very pretty touch. (It wasn't overwhelming, just a soft shimmer)"

question : Hi, my puppy bianca ate just a piece of crab's shell accidentally a week her ate some guava leaves for her diarrhea.early this morning her feces were afraid it might get worst.There's also some rashes on her skin but i guess so it became dry.We still let her take her vitamins too…hope u could hepl us thanks answer : Hello, Puppies are prone to suffer from parasite infestations such as fleas, mange and worms. The symptoms that you describe are compatible with a heavy parasitic load: From the picture, it looks like Bianca is pot-belied which is a common sign of a worm infestation. I believe that the crab shell incident could be purely anecdotal. My advice is to get your pup to a vet asap and get her treated for fleas and worms. Should you wish to avoid the cost of a consultation, you may purchase "non-licenced" products from a pet store. Be aware that those may not work so well and some could even prove toxic. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Julien PS: stop applying live yogourt (lactobacillus) on Bianca's sores ! www.vetstoria.com ShareThis |

text: The ship was sailing on a sea of glass. The winds were calm as the troller passed. The sun reflected off the water like a fiery flame as it climbed the sky and presented the day.The dolphins leapt and the whales sang their songs as the land disappeared and the clouds they grew long. In the wake of the ship there was bubbling foam as the engines let out a low rumbling drone. The sailors they watched as the sky turned to grey and the wind gathered strength and heightened the waves. The lightening it flashed and the rain came down hard as the men closed the hatches and stood on their guard. The ship it was lifted high in the air then slammed on the waves bringing fear and despair. The storm raged for hours with no end in sight and the crew they were sickened as they braced for the night. The Captain he let out his calls of distress hoping for rescue with little success. All other ships they were miles away and could offer no rescue until the next day. The ship it was beaten as it was forced toward the shore and smashed on the rocks until it was torn. The men scrambled for rafts, to escape from the wreck and the waves showed no mercy care or respect. When the sunlight came streaming into the sky and the rescue ship began to draw nigh, the bodies were gathering upon the shore as the tide rolled in like all days before. Only one boat remained, five souls the sea did not claim. To their fallen brothers they honored on stone then back to the sea they found their way home.

Free flu vaccine clinic at Tukwila
Public Health – Seattle & King County offers free flu vaccinations for adults and children on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Ave. S.
Health experts recommend that everyone over 6 months of age get the flu vaccine to protect their health and the people around them. The flu can cause significant lost time from work and school, as well as the expense of doctor visits. In some instances, it can also cause hospitalization and even death.
The flu clinic is an excellent opportunity for people who do not have health insurance to get a free flu vaccination.
In addition to providing free flu vaccines, the clinic will serve as a preparedness exercise for Public Health to practice its ability to provide vaccinations to a large number of people in a short amount of time. More than 1,000 doses of vaccine will be available.

Ok, so, Tic Tacs. Let me start by saying that I am aware that this might not seem like the most fascinating of products on which to write a review, however, in my defense, I feel that these good old faithfuls have really been unfairly ignored in recent times. Proof of that is the fact that no one has even bothered to review the humble tic tac for the last 2 years! Well, this review will change all of that! If you're anything like me, you know exactly what a tic tac is, what the packet looks like etc, but you couldn't for the life of you put your finger on the last time that you actually had one of these little bundles of joy in your mouth. Well, that was me ... Read the complete review

I used to eat these quite a lot when I was little, then for years never had them. I think part of that may have been their price, when bought individually. Whilst still easy to come across in shops and very well-known, I wouldn't say they're hugely popular in the sense that I rarely see people with them. Having said that, I'm getting back in to the Tic Tac habit (to supplement my spearmint Polo habit!) and they're still as delicious as ever. First produced in 1969, Tic Tacs were made by the Ferrero confectioner and are sold all over the world. Tic Tacs are small, hard mints and they come in a variety of flavours. Usually, the mints themselves are dyed a colour ... Read the complete review

Sometimes everybody feels the need to freshen their mouth a little. You just feel that your tongue is a bit furry, your breath a bit stale, your teeth a little coated. Obviously most people's first choice would be to brush their teeth but that option's not always available. And chewing gum can be seen as a little anti-social. No, in times like these my freshener of choice is a Tic Tac. These little white mints have been freshening Britain's teeth for generations now and are just as popular as they've ever been. Surprisingly they're made by Ferrero, the people who make the Rocher chocolate nut balls. I have to say that I like Tic Tacs a lot better. They come in ... Read the complete review

The following review is for Tic Tacs in cool cherry flavour. I am putting it in this section, because there does not sem to be a section for specific flavours. Tic Tac sweets have been around for some time now, and I remember them being quite a novelty sweet when I was a kid. They look quite a lot like tablets, which I always thought was a bit strange, and back in the day the used to come in a white mint variety or an orange and lime variety. The packaging is quite strange too, being a small 18g transparent plastic container, with a flip lid that dispenses the sweets. The manufacturers have decided to update the sweets of late, with a ...

I am just this minute sucking on a tic tac that I purchased a pack of yesterday, and thought while it's there I might as well review it! I didn't know who made tic tacs, but now I know it's a company called ferrero which is apparently Italian. I have the regular mint flavour, but other flavours available include orange & lime, spearmint, and I'm sure I saw cherry ones once. The packet I have got is actually quite large, and cost £1.20, but it's ideal for keeping in my handbag for those instances when you feel a bit of fresh breath is needed. I remember the old tic tac adverts from years ago, when the lady would say that ... Read the complete review

Rock properties: Porosity and density measurement methods
Measuring sample volume: Calculated by measuring the length and diameter of the cylinders using a calipers. Most samples were a nominal 2-inch diameter and 1 to 3 inches long.
Drying the samples: Samples were oven-dried at 70°C (158°F) for at least 24 hours before testing.
Measuring pore space volume: Pore space volume was determined using a helium pycnometer. The helium pycnometer makes use of Boyle's Law (P1V1=P2V2) and helium gas, which quickly penetrates small pores and is nonreactive, to determine the solid portion of a sample. The core is placed in a sample chamber of known volume. A reference chamber, also of known volume, is pressurized. The two chambers are then connected, allowing the helium gas to flow from the reference chamber to the sample chamber. The ratio of the initial and final pressures is used to determine the volume of the sample solid. The pore volume is the difference between the total volume and the solid volume as determined by the helium pycnometer. This technique can only be used to measure pores that are interconnected. Helium and water do not penetrate into isolated pores, so these pores are not included in the porosity measurement.
Measuring density: Dry densities were determined by weighing the samples after drying and dividing the mass by the total sample volume. Wet densities were then calculated by assuming the porosity of the sample was filled with water, adding that mass to the dry measured mass and dividing the sum by the total sample volume. Grain density was calculated by subtracting the pore space volume from the total sample volume and then dividing the difference by the dry mass.

If Keiton Page can defend Big 12 guards I have absolutely no concern with Sledge doing the same. Sledge makes up for his height with his athleticism. So I think he will be fine. Missouri has guards that aren't much bigger with Dixon, Denmon and Phil Pressey.

2010 Sheer Drop Wines Chardonnay
12 x 750ml Bottles
Cracka Review
We really didn't expect this to be so sprightly - Bendigo Chardonnay, from a little known producer, should be rich and chunky and heavy, no? Not this one, which is rather light and nicely balanced, all light fruit freshness and some welcome nutty leesy characters. Something of a win in context really.
Winemaker's Note
A fresh wine exhibiting aromas of nectarine and tropical fruits. Flavours of ripe peach and yeasty lees are supported by a rich and textured mid-palate, balanced by a fresh citrus finish.

UPDATE: In the last eight months, Somali-based piracy has expanded – despite the US-European patrolling operations – but attacks have become less successful, due to improved defenses on tankers. The major scholarly journal Geopolicity published a report concluding that the Somalian pirates were merely acting as "profit-maximizing entrepreneurs," and as such unlikely to abandon piracy. In fact, as illustrated by the Geopolicity map below, pirates expanded their operational range via the use of motherships from which to launch smaller skiffs. A full synopsis of the report is available at the bottom. (6/8/11)
"Bad cases make bad law." This axiom of jurisprudence can as easily apply to the use of force. What is happening in Libya at the moment is a "bad case" in three ways: military intervention in its civil war does not derive from well-established precedent, does not draw on unambiguous principle, and may not set a course or parameters for future conduct of various nations and institutions in similar – or roughly similar – cases. This conclusion will be tested the next time the U.S., its European and Canadian allies, and others are faced with a situation that seems to cry for outside intervention.
This bold and deliberately provocative book on geopolitical forecasting has smart and suggestive points to make about the whole geopolitical scene, especially the U.S. and Europe.
Could cuts in defense spending across the EU establish a collective capability to act autonomously or join the U.S. future military operations? Or will reduced troop and equipment levels across Europe leave the U.S. in a situation where it will have to act alone in expeditionary missions – a situation that many analysts say would jeopardize NATO's collective future?

Description: A woman finds herself torn between two cultures and two loyalties in this drama. Anna (Miranda Otto) is a conservationist working to protect wildlife in Namibia alongside her brother Marius (Chris Chameleon), who is a Lutheran minister working with the natives. While Anna and Marius have a close relationship, Anna finds herself becoming friendly with Stone (Isaiah Washington), an African-America lawyer who has come to Namibia in search of his cultural identity. When Anna discovers a group of game poachers have illegally bagged an elephant, Anna sets out to find them, and Stone joins her. However, Anna discovers the animal was killed by her assistant, Naniserri (Moses Kandjoze), who is then murdered in an altercation with other conservationists. The death drives a wedge between Anna and the local community, and she turns to Stone for comfort, angering her brother, who no longer wishes to have anything to do with her. Writer and director Elaine Proctor shot and edited Kin over a period of six years.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

iPad Mini 2 Retina Display and iPad 5 with A7X Processors to Appear in 2013
The Q4, 2013, might bring us two new devices from Apple. Rumors state that the company could present iPad mini 2 and iPad 5 featuring an A7X chip this fall. Besides, experts are hoping to see the new iPhones and Apple TV 4. Does it mean that we will see all "fruit" products' update line this autumn?
According to Ming-Chi Kuo [the analyst at KGI], the Cupertino-based giant is planning to release the second-generation iPad mini and iPad 5 with the A7X processor. The mini version should come with the Retina display which was first planned for 2014. The growing competition in the market of tablets, as rumored, made iPhone maker change its plans and adjust the timetable for this gadget.

Get the Best Vines on Your iOS Device
How much do you like to watch videos created by others? A lot of my friends love Instagram Video service. Others prefer watching short films on Vine and Capture. Won't it be fun to save the top Vines to your iOS gadget? iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners can easily get Vine on their smartphones and tablets. The secret is right inside this post.
Everyone who has a jailbroken Apple device can get one great iOS 7 Cydia tweak and save as many Vines as he or she likes. I'll tell you how to get them. This method is easy, fast and incredible. You don't have to be a genius to use it.
How to Download Vines on iPhone and iPad
VineDownloader is the tweak that will help you. You can grab it from Cydia repo and install it on your fruit phone or tablet. This program is useful. No wonder it is not free. You should pay $0.99 to download it.
It doesn't come with its own settings. Still you will find some preferences under your gadget's Settings program. There will be a kill switch. There will also be a link that will lead you to Twitter profile of VineDownloader developer.
VineDownloader Cydia App Options
Once you have installed the application you will get an option to download and save Vines. You can view what you got by pressing on More Options in Camera Roll. Why would you need to save these files?
Well, the saved Vines can be watched offline. There will be no need to stay connected any more. This is exactly what I was looking for as I don't like to pay for online data that much. I prefer watching everything I can offline because this mode works great without an internet connection.

2x Mode Becomes Better for Non-Retina iPad with iOS 7 Beta 3
Developers got their hands on iOS 7 beta 3 and discovered new features. This firmware is discussed by a lot of websites. Everyone is trying to review all the differences between the most recent and previous beta release.
Apple quickly reacts to most of the bugs discovered and fixes the problems in the next upgrades. Some of the changes are not noticed by ordinary users who installed the beta iOS 7 because it was possible to manually update to iOS 7 beta for free without a developer account and registered UDID [these are usual requirements for people who wish to test mobile operating system developed by Apple].

iWork / iLife Apps Might Be Free in iOS 7
The iWork suite could be offered for free by Apple in the future. Such predictions are made by experts who test the new iOS 7 beta and find interesting changes that predict a better life for all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Let's see what we might get this fall.
Mac owners could use the whole iLife suite after purchasing their machine and this was the reason a lot of customers got Macs in the first place. Wouldn't it be great if you could get iWork and iLife free bundle on the iOS device? Right now, for example, iWork suite apps can be purchased for $9.99 each.

iOS 7 Look Alike Tweak for Jailbroken iPhone / iPad
Not everyone is eager to risk and download the beta versions of the new iOS 7 even though it can be manually installed without a dev account and registered UDID. Some users have tried it but numerous bugs and other problems [most apps are not working on this firmware yet] make most ordinary users downgrade to iOS 6 without SHSH blobs and wait till Apple releases the final version of its next firmware.
There is still a way on how to make it look as if your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 7. There is one Cydia tweak that can make it happen. It is called Fontee. It's safe to use but it is designed for jailbroken devices only. While we are waiting for final release and have good news that iOS 7 was jailbroken we still don't have any solution to jailbreak it. But we can do it on jailbroken iOS 6.x device.

"great ultrabook for the price"
4.0 starson by josetheman34Pros: Super fast, long battery life, very thin and light. backlit keyboard is helpful
Cons: Feels a little flimsy, and fan was making noise right out of the box.
Summary: I was in the market for a new laptop for college, so I needed something that would be easy to carry. I looked into the ultra books and decided to go with the Toshiba z935-p300 after reading many reviews, which all sites gave this laptop 4 stars. I can't believe how thin and light this thing is! For that reason, it feels quite fragile, but I'll take that drawback. I have been getting about 5hrs of wifi internet web browsing with it and I love the backlit keyboard. I bought this ultrabook for $789, so I think that I made a great purchase. I would have bought the Lenovo Yoga, but it was not in stock at the time and I needed a computer ASAP.I didn't like the fact that the Yoga was about $220 more, and it has the same processor and storage as the Z935. The yoga does have a higher resolution touch screen display but no backlit keyboard(bummer). I upgraded the Z935 to windows 8 for$16.99 and the touchpad works great with the gestures. Some people say that the keyboard sucks on this laptop, but I think it's fine(it does flex a little when you use it).Also some people say that the spacebar does not register sometimes, t\ I have not seen this. The fan was noisy when I turned it on for the first time, but it went away. I did put extra protection for it(extended warranty and accidental damage protection) just in case, since some people say that the screen can crack if your not careful with it when you carry it in a bag. I would recommend this machine, since it's the best that I have bought.
Update: A couple of days ago, I had to go back to windows 7 since this computer crashed and would not boot. I would only get the blue screen of death. Also, today I noticed that if i rest my palm in the left side of the machine only, it wobbles! I have to have both palms on it at the same time so this doesn't happen. Weird, since this means that the bottom side is not level. I guess it has to do with the fan underneath sticking out a little. Now I'm back on widows 8 and hopefully it wont crash again! If i press with my left finger on the left side of this computer it wobbles like I said before.Not cool.
Updated on Nov 29, 2012

I got tired of the wobble effect, so I grabbed the frame and flexed it a little on both sides. The wobble stopped for now, so that means that the frame on this thing is pretty flimsy. It only took one day for this to happen, since I brought it to school today.

Amok, the first studio album from Atoms for Peace, was released in February. Though the album received mostly good reviews and debuted in the #2 position on the US Billboard 200, the songs didn't quite possess the type of energy that had been on display during the band's 2009-2010 live dates.
Originally arranged as a band for Thom Yorke's performances of solo laptop album The Eraser (2006), the group created Amok in jam sessions that Yorke and band member/producer Nigel Godrich subsequently spent years editing. The effect of their tinkering was to constrain a very talented group of musicians (including Flea, Joey Waronker, and Mauro Refosco) within a computer—an ironic development considering that the group was initially recruited to bring The Eraser out of its digital shell.
