Big Sean is Finally Famous...boiiiii
By Cash
Being from Detroit, I was excited for the album release from a hometown kid. Sean shows a mature sound and style throughout the album with many of the songs focusing on his new found fame and fortune. He has dreams of being the greatest, and with the backing of mentor Kanye West, it appears possible:
With rhymes and samples reminiscent of 'Ye and most of the album produced by No I.D, Big Sean appears to be in the game for the long haul. It is very early in his career and Sean already has heavy hitters on the track such as Pharrell, John Legend, and Lupe Fiasco. Representing G.O.O.D. Music and Detroit throughout the album, the fourth installment of the Finally Famous series is definitely the best.
1) Intro
Sean uses the beat from the original "Memories" track to introduce the album. Coming in at just over 16 bars, this is what an introduction is meant to be. He represents his hometown, Detroit, with some clever wordplay:
I put the city on my back
So that way if I fall
I'm crowd surfing the map
And he ends it by inviting the listener to get in on the journey of his life. He is simply stating that he will be fulfilling his G.O.O.D. Music duty by getting out his dreams. It is simple, straight to the point, and has a few great rhymes.
2) I Do It
Finally. Sean tells us what he means by his infamous adlib, and turns out it is pretty straight forward: he fucks hoes. "I Do It" is Sean's second single for the album, and one of my least favorite tracks. Sean's constant "boi"-ing in the background got to me. But i guess every great hip hop album needs a track or two completely devoted to sex.
I know what you're saying, "This song sucks! I hear it on the radio all the time. It is so annoying…" Well you are correct, kind of. It is on the radio all the time (that is how a lead single on an album works, especially one with Chris Brown), but it isn't that terrible. New, hardass, blond-haired Chris Brown is infectious on the hook, and Sean gives a fresh take on the only subject that seem to make it on the radio: partying. He clearly has many nights ahead of him, but "My Last" is Sean's way of flexing his muscles. He is showing listeners that he made it and has worked to hard to be ballin' on a budget.
4) Don't Tell Me You Love You
The fourth track is a nice change for Sean. His angry side comes out. He hates to love his girl, and he can't get away from her. This song takes the listener deeper into Sean's life, past all the patron and partying. It's nice to see Big's heartfelt, emotional side come out.
5) Wait For Me
With a guest verse from the Proust of Rap, Big Sean and Lupe Fiasco do their best to plead their case to get a girl back. Personally, this is one of my favorite tracks on the album because the upbeat piano-based instrumental works very well with the vocals of Sean and Lupe. Lupe displays is mastery of wordplay (obviously), and Sean has a few of his own puns to round out an excellent track.
6) Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay
Rumored to be the album's third single, Sean teams up with his mentor, Mr. Kanye West, and Roscoe Dash. The men show off their understanding of the power of alcohol and the baby-making music of the late Marvin Gaye. I was not fond of this song initially, but after I listened to it a few times, I really began to enjoy it. This song is a jam, mainly because of Roscoe Dash on the hook. Sean and 'Ye spit some good verses about fucking, but Roscoe gives it energy (reminiscent of "No Hands"). I just want to know how such a hype song can be inspired by white wine and the Prince of Soul.
7) Dance (A$$)
Sean doesn't go too deep on this track, it's simply all about the ass. The only thing saving this track, filled with a repetition of the word "ass", from wackness is a sample of U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer. Not my favorite song, but a really catchy beat nonetheless.
8) Get It (DT)
Sean collaborated with Pharrell and The Neptunes on this track. With Pharrell on the hook, Sean's Donald Trump dreams are better than Mac Miller's (sorry Mac, it's tough to beat Skateboard P). Sean sounds inspired on the track, (Pharrell seems to do that to people) stating that he wants to be "the greatest of all Bigs, greatest of all Seans". With 'Ye as a mentor, it looks like Sean is setting himself up pretty well to "get it.".
9) Memories (Part II)
When I saw "Memories" on the track list and saw a (Part II) next to it, I expected a few new verses on a remastered version of Part I. I felt a little let down when I heard the same two verses (and a new third one) over a new beat. Though the track focuses on the past, Sean does discuss his future with one of the best lines of the album:
I swear I've been through everything in life but a coffin
They say sky's the limit, how bitch? I'm moonwalking!
With the addition of John Legend on the hook, this track is leagues above the first take.
10) High
Last time Big Sean worked with Chiddy Bang, it resulted in "Too Fake", one of my favorite songs in a long time, so when I saw Wiz Khalifa and Chiddy on this Xaphoon Jones produced track, I expected big things. And they all came through on one of the best songs on the album. Of course the song is called "High," do you think Wiz, the official rapper of kush marijuana, would rap about anything else? The electronic beat that Xaphoon is notorious for makes this song a banger even though the guys are too high to remember anything.
11) Live This Life
Big Sean describes the "Finally Famous" lifestyle with a little help from The-Dream. Though he does describe a lavish life, he admits it comes with negatives too:
Stress turned me into a weed-head
And parties into an alcoholic
And money turned me into a workaholic
I'm not sure a large excess of money, booze, and weed is a real problem though. Another solid track from the kid who calls himself a young Tupac.
12) So Much More
On the last track of the regular version of the album, Sean represents his hometown throughout. "So Much More" has some of Sean's finest rhymes, and even eight bars that he calls verse of the year:
Man, I wake up to a wet dream
Every day's a Friday and every night's a sex scene
Every week is Fashion Week and every day I'm pressed clean
Detroit's angel, I even got red wings
Headed to the ball, me and three prom queens
It's prom night, and guess who's the prom king?
They having a kissing fight and I'm Don King
Everybody know I'm coming soon like Lebron's ring
Lebron didn't quite get his ring this year, but by the fire Sean spit on this song, it looks like he is here, and here to stay.
13) What Goes Around
The first bonus song on the deluxe edition of the album was also released on itunes as a promotional single. While this is Sean's shout out to karma and a way of telling his ex-girls (both of them) "told ya, bitch,", it is also a toast to his Finally Famous lifestyle. Overall, one of Sean's better tracks, I'm just confused as to why it isn't on the normal version of the album.
14) Celebrity
Sean describes his love for the celebrity life. over yet another No I.D. produced beat. Dwele sings backup vocals in his signature high-pitched tone, while Big Sean puts down quite a few good rhymes, including a few great homophone rhymes:
Jewelry all gold call me C3PO
Smoke so much, I gotta see 3PO
Cause I'm worldwide tour with me and my nigga Zeno
Most comfortable behind the mics like T.O
So I hate to lose my Mike like Tito
Sean uses great wordplay to not so concisely say that he loves being rich. Similar to his buddy Kanye West, eh?
15) My House
Yet another track that Sean spends talking about his riches, but his time around he focuses on his house. With an annoying chorus focused around a strange pronunciation of the word "shit" and two mediocre verses, this is not one of Sean's better tracks on the album.
16) 100 Keys
On the last track of the deluxe edition, Big brings in Pusha T and Rick Ross for a little Cocaine Music. Sean shows off his ability to rap about the white stuff with some clever wordplay:
Cause everybody knows keys open doors, but bricks open windows
Ross and Pusha help make this song a jam, but hearing a cocaine flow from Big Sean is a little weird; he just seems out of place. It's more natural hearing Sean with people like Wiz and Chiddy, talking about the greenery.
Sean's wordplay and flow are refined far beyond his years, and this album confirms that he should be in the game for years to come. He calls himeself Detroit's angel, and he is exactly what the struggling city needs. He loves Detroit and expresses it frequently; he is a success story coming from a town that has begun to forget what success means. Sean has done all the right things to make a very solid first album. He worked hard to get here and truly is finally famous..

Hi there, I want to create a new template in order to better integrate ThumbsUp into my pages. What I'd like to do is take the 'thumbs_up' template, keep this square layout and add a thumbs down button instead of just the thumbs up. The number appearing above the buttons would be the balance between UPs & DOWNs, proceeded by the + or – sign. The background color would be green for positive balance values and red for negative.
Is this easy to do? Is there a tutorial / guide that could help me with this?
Thx, Mike
There's no specific tutorial, but if you know your way around with HTML and CSS it should not be hard to duplicate an existing template and tweak it to your likings.
Hmmm… In order to customize this I need to create a new, custom sprite. Could you help me by providing the source of the images?
Thx, Mike
Hi there, if the number of votes is lower than a predefined threshold I'd like instead of the actual balance to show something like "Not enough votes…" How could I do that?
Hmm, it is possible but it would require some manual tweaks to the templates and the PHP script. My code is well commented, feel free to play around with it.
I want to buy this script….but want to know if it will work on Godaddy shared hosting? Also, can I integrate it easily into Small Machines Forum as a voting system for each post?
Thank You, Lane
It should work on any host with PHP5 and a MySQL database. If you really want to be sure, ask your host. As for the custom integration in existing forum software, that may be tricky. I have no experience with Small Machines Forum.
Hi! Im installing the script and i've changed "database_user" and 'database_pass' to admin, but when i go to the admin section it shows Notice: You need to setup an admin user first in thumbsup/config.php in order to be able to login. in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\thumbsup\classes\thumbsup_admin.php on line 109. I guess it must be an error on the 'database_dsn' which i completed with 'mysql:dbname=mepaso;host=localhost'. Im working on WAMP if it means something.
If you're talking about the ThumbsUp admin screen, you need to set up users for that near the bottom of the config file where it says "admin_users". The database setup is something else.
Ok, Thanks. I've got this other issue now. I've unzipped the script folder into the theme folder (im using worpress) and i added the js, php, jquery and css code into page.php and header.php, but i got these errors:
Warning: include(./thumbsup/init.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\bueno\page.php on line 1
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening './thumbsup/init.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\bueno\page.php on line 1
Fatal error: Class 'ThumbsUp' not found in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\bueno\header.php on line 6
Nevermind, i've solved
Last question. I've added the script on page.php and it works fine, but then, when i add it to index.php i got the next error:
Notice: Undefined index: woo_post_content in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\bueno\index.php on line 25
which i thinks is here:
<?php if ( $woo_options['woo_post_content'] == "content" ) { the_content('[...]'); } else { the_excerpt(); } ?>
, but it works fine when the script is off.
Oh, and where is the mysql update line? Thank you
I want to make a balance field and update it
I've solved the last question, i only help with the
Notice: Undefined index: woo_post_content in C:\wamp3\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\bueno\index.php on line 25
That doesn't seem like a ThumbsUp related notice, to be honest. You can get rid of that "undefined index" notice by first checking whether $woo_options['woo_post_content'] exists by using isset() or empty().
As for the ordering on votes balance, updating your own column is a bit of work. Note that you can also order on vote balance by doing a calculation in the ORDER BY clause (may not be a very efficient query, though):
SELECT * FROM thumbsup_items ORDER BY (votes_up – votes_down)
There is anyway to integrate this with Centova Cast 3 to create a TOP 10 songs block?
Uhm, no idea what that is but if it is a PHP app you should be able to integrate it most of the time.
No, sorry. You may be better off searching for a Centova Cast plugin. I can't offer support for that. Hope you understand, thanks.
Does the thumbsup_vote table ever get used? can you give an example a callback for the userid? can i use the votes table to query all the items a user has voted on? please outline that process for me. thank you =) my end goal is to use thumbsup to track a users "favorite" items. is this possible?
ive seen many examples of your callback function and none of them work for me =/
The thumbsup_vote table is used to store IP addresses and/or user IDs if one of these options is enabled. The vote counts are stored in the items table.
Here's a quick callback function for the userid, to put at the top of the thumbsup/config.php file:
function my_user_id_callback() { @session_start(); return @$_SESSION['id']; }
Tracking "favorite" items is not really what this script was built for. I guess you could transform it into it. If the cookie check is enabled item IDs are store in a cookie.
doesn't work, i am unable to get a UID to write to the db
i pasted your function inside the array and outside the array. i put the function name in between the callback ''s with and without the () and it doesnt work. please supply a working example with a user id writing to the database or id like my money back. thank you
its a great script, for sure but it seems a lot of people are having this question. it appears many times in the comments here and there isnt a working example available. i purchased this script with this functionality as a key point and if it doesnt work I'd like my money back.
please supply a complete config with settings for the writing of uid to db ty
That function should come right after the "<?php" part at the top of the config file. Of course, it assumes your user ID system is session based and uses the "id" key. You may have to change that to your own setup.
How can I get this to work with WordPress 3.8 and specifically with Headway Themes v 3.6? I host on Rackspace Cloud Sites so should be no issue with MySQL DB setup, etc. Please advise. I already purchased this awhile ago and could never get it to work properly in my WordPress. Now the link to the tutorial online for WP is no longer active. Thanks for your assistance.
It's much like the regular install actually. Include the thumbsup/init.php file in your functions.php template file. Then add the necessary CSS and JS files to the header.php file.
Hi! I've got a problem with plugin. I've istalled it and displays on my website correcty but when i hover the thumbs up icon or thumbs down icon, the icon disappears. Also when i clicked it, it does not add the value of the vote. I've tried offline with WAMP and it worked fine, i dont know what im doing wrong. This is my website: www.compartiendohistorias.com . Thanks a lot!
I've discovered that i can actually vote if i hold the mouse button and press the thumbs up or down but it shows error. When i reload the page it shows the vote. Also, it let me vote vote more than once. Hope you can help me out!
First of all, you should only use a single domain. It looks like you are not using "www", in that case don't configure the "url" setting in thumbsup/config.php with "www" because that will cause trouble related to crossdomain ajax requests.
Also, you are loading jQuery twice (and different versions as well). That should be fixed. Just load the most recent version once before you load the thumbsup javascript file.
Hi! Thanks, i've changed the config.php and now it doesnt show error anymore. Now i still got the problem of the jquery loaded more than once but i dont know where is being loaded the other jquery. In header.php is only the juery call that i added and in fuctions.php i found this:
/* Register our scripts -------------------------------*/
wp_register_script('validation', 'http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.min.js', 'jquery', '1.9', true);
wp_register_script('superfish', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/superfish.js', 'jquery', '1.4.8');
wp_register_script('supersubs', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/supersubs.js', 'jquery', '0.2');
wp_register_script('zilla-custom', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.custom.js', array('jquery', 'flexslider', 'isotope', 'fitvids', 'imagesLoaded'), '1.0', TRUE);
wp_register_script('flexslider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.flexslider-min.js', 'jquery', '2.0');
wp_register_script('jplayer', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.jplayer.min.js', 'jquery', '2.1');
wp_register_script('fitvids', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.fitvids.js', 'jquery', '1.0');
wp_register_script('isotope', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.isotope.min.js', array('jquery', 'imagesLoaded'), '1.5.19');
wp_register_script('imagesLoaded', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.imagesloaded.min.js', 'jquery', '2.0.1');
But i dont know what to do with it.
this too:
if ( !function_exists( 'zilla_enqueue_admin_scripts' ) ) { function zilla_enqueue_admin_scripts() { wp_register_script( 'zilla-admin', get_template_directory_uri() . '/includes/js/jquery.custom.admin.js', 'jquery' );
Sorry, but this is WP code unrelated to ThumbsUp. As far as I know, wp_register_script() doesn't even load scripts. Can't you just include the ThumbsUp script after all the rest?
include it where exactly?
In your theme's header.php file, after the wp_head action.
It worked! Thanks you so much!!
I was including it a little bit above. Thanks again!
Hi, thanks for this create little script… Worked just as the documentation explains.
Just one quick question please?
When I add a php variable to <?php echo ThumbsUp::item('$cpslug')->template('thumbs_up') ?>
All I get in the items database is $cpref displayed in the name field – But it should read the user name… like user-name
How do I set it so the username is displayed correctly and not the php variable.. Thanks in advance…
Don't put quotes around the PHP variable, then it will be treated as a string. That should fix it.
Hi, Thanks for your quick reply,
When I remove the quotes from around the PHP variable.
I get a thumbs up error after clicking ? But the correct username is inserted into the database.
Any ideas how to correct this error please, Thanks again.
Sounds like an ajax related problem. Make sure you only use a single (sub)domain, either with or without "www".
Hi, I uploaded this on my server, configured file correctly, I used PHPMyAdmin to place database.sql and after logged in using demo : demo all I see is just a blank page.
Server has PDO set up correctly. 'database_dsn' => 'mysql:dbname=bravo120;host=localhost',
uncommented two lines: 'admin_users' => array( —> An example user with username and password set to "demo": —> 'demo' => 'demo', ),
Could you turn on debug mode? Seeing an actual error message would be helpful to pinpoint what exactly is going wrong. You can enable debug mode via the thumbsup/config.php file as well, change FALSE to TRUE.
You can filter out videos and quotes if you name your ThumbsUp items consistenly. Did you check out the following page already?
http://www.geertdedeckere.be/shop/thumbsup/help#filtering-itemsAlso, feel free to extend the ThumbsUp::items() code to build in custom functionality if needed. The code is well commented.
yes i've read it. I'm sorry I meant to say [video] (topic) then [quote] (topic). The topic word didn't show up in the initial post because i put it in brackets.
Like going through two different filters (or three if neccessary)
I'm going to go ahead and buy it. i'm sure i'll probably be able to edit the code if its already not in place, hopefully
Okay, thanks. Let me know if you need further assistance.
Hello, I love your scripts for my site, but I can not show, only appears.
template('thumbs_up') ?>
I have reviewed from beginning to end the entire manual, but I have no positive results.
can your help plz..
Are you putting PHP code in a HTML file? In that case you'll see the actual PHP code in the browser which is not good. You need to put it in a .php file.
ok i found it the answer is there is no default, it has to be activated in the config
It's a PHP script. A help file is available. Beyond that I commented my code very well. If you go over thumbsup/config.php you'll get an explanation of each item in there.
No need for writing in ALL-CAPS, is there?
<?php echo ThumbsUp::item('item_name')>template('mini_thumbs')>format('{+PCT_UP}%') ?>
please provide the code for the example in the main page where it says Support for MySQL… …and other databases. All database access goes through PDO. Check out the other system requirements before buying.
<?php echo ThumbsUp::item('item_n2ame')>template('thumbs_up_down')>format('{PCT_DOWN}%')->options('align=left&option1=value1') ?>
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\xampp\htdocs\Thv\templates\thumbs_up_down.php on line 15
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\xampp\htdocs\Thv\templates\thumbs_up_down.php on line 17
Again, please, stop writing in capitals. I just replied to your mail.
Note that the thumbs_up_down.php template was built with two result values in mind (being up and down votes). If you only display a single value (e.g. a percentage), you may need to slightly tweak the actual template as well since there will be no $result[1]
in that case.
I just bought it for use in a smarty template setup but its not working. Having read a few posts it doesn't seem to be workable via a smarty setup.
Is there a defined variable and file for the thumbsup that I can call via smarty.
If I have a variable then I can smarty to assign it.
Instead of echoing the ThumbsUp item you could store the HTML output it generates in a string and assign that to a variable. (I have no experience with Smarty.)
not a coding expert but if I can see how to get the string then I can assign it
Okay, instead of echoing just capture the output into a variable:
$var = ThumbsUp::item('demo')->render();
Okay nearly there
$thumbcounter = ThumbsUp::item('demo')->render();
STemplate::assign('thumbcounter', $thumbcounter);
Then in template {$thumbcounter}
Now because my site is dynamic I need make sure every counter is linked to its specific url or ID
done it replaced the 'demo' with the url ID
Yeah, right, 'demo' was just an example. You can build your own item names using PHP variables if you want to. Good job!
Why did you not include a good complete example with output you only provided a guide for study for PHP coders, I dont know PHP my knowledge only is to substitute variables from examples, If I knew PHP I would write this script my self and I would have to buy it.
I want to list the results from votes
<?php $items = ThumbsUp::items()>orderby('votes_total')>get() ?>
<?php $items = ThumbsUp::items('MyVote1')->get('MyVote1') ?> <?php echo $items ?> How do I display the values?
Hello can you tell me how this would work on your script I have written this for another voting script to output the values
<?php echo "
Names/td> | Ranking | "; echo "
" . $row['item'] . " | "; echo "" . $row['rank'] . " | "; echo "
that small code gives me the reults of total votes
Sorry if you didn't find the documentation helpful. I tried to create an example for your specific needs. Some basic PHP skills are strongly recommended, though.
<?php // Select all ThumbsUp items that contain the word "Bob" in // their name and order them by vote count (high to low). $items = ThumbsUp::item('Bob')->orderby('votes_total desc')->get(); // Now you need to loop over the items array in order to // display them in whatever way you want. foreach ($items as $item) { var_dump($item); // or echo $item['name']; } ?>
First off I'd just like to say I have very little experience in html, php etc so if my questions have obvious answers I apologize ahead of time.
I am having trouble finding the "database_dsn" to insert into my config.php file. Can you explain where I can find this and/or link me to a tutorial.
Also is the user/password that I use to access PhpMyadmin the same user/pass I enter into the config.php file?
Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
I have the thumbsup folder at website.com/thumbsup and have updated the config.php with the user/pass and the database dsn (mysql:dbname=freetous_thumbsup;host=localhost',)
figured out the user/pass and was able to create a new database, However I'm still stuck as it won't display the thumbs up items I'm not sure whats the issue.
I'm trying to use it on a blank html doc with the code to try and isolate the error
The code to my page is
<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php include './thumbsup/init.php' ?> <head> <?php echo ThumbsUp::css() ?> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script> </head>
<?php echo ThumbsUp::item('thumbs_up')>template('thumbs_up')>options('align=left') ?>
Is there an error/errors in my html or is it still a problem on the databases side
Okay, you need to place <?php include './thumbsup/init.php' ?>
even before the doctype or before any whitespace, at the very top of the document. Also, make sure you are inserting the codes in a .php file, not a .html file.
If things still don't work out then, try enabling debug mode in the thumbsup/config.php file. Look for that option and change FALSE to TRUE. That way, at least an error message should pop up aiding a lot while debugging.

How To Figure Out Your Rising Sign (Ascendant Sign)If you know your approximate hour & minute of birth, you can use the Table below to GUESS your Rising Sign. Your true Rising Sign will be either this sign OR the other sign closest to your birth time in the Table. If "Daylight Savings Time" or "War Time" was in effect on your birthday, then SUBTRACT ONE HOUR from your birth time BEFORE you use this table. First, look DOWN the time column at left to find the 2-hour period which includes your time of birth. Then look ACROSS the colored top row of Sun Signs to find your own Sign. Finally, look DOWN your Sun Sign column to that row which contains your birth time. The Sign in that box is your estimated Rising Sign (also called your ascendant sign). Click on it to read today's horoscope for that Sign. (This table assumes the time of Sunrise is exactly 6 am. If you know what time Sunrise actually occurs at your birth place on your birthday - it may be shown in your home-town newspaper on your date of birth - then you can adjust all the 2-hour time periods to get more accuracy. For example, if Sunrise happens at 6:55 am, add :55 to each of the listed times and THEN see which period contains your birth time, e.g. 4am-6am changes to 4:55 am - 6:55 am.) The true Rising Sign MIGHT be the one closest to the "estimated" Sign (above or below, whichever TIME period is closer to your birth time). Adjacent Rising Signs appear very different, and since they indicate how people see you on first impression, you can relate traits you obviously display in your "style" to traits of the true Rising Sign, and choose which one "is you".

Requested a non-smoking room, but were put in a smoking room. Smelled terrible! Had to go to store and buy air freshener to try and make it better. Complained, and they said there was nothing they could do (although there were many open rooms).
December 10, 2012
Clean, nice room,( our second time their) but because of our experience there, we will NEVER stay in a Super 8 motel again, and over the many years we have traveled, we have stayed at many of them!When a guest puts the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle they expect the the people who make up the rooms to stay out, untill they have checked out!!!

Staff very helpful and friendly. Location on a major thoroughfare but there was no traffic noise and it was very quiet. I felt safe and the parking lot was very well lit. Indoor amenities were great - indoor pool, hot tub and complimentary breakfast. I also liked the fact that there were indoor and outdoor entrances into each room

I approached the desk attendant. the cleaning staff didn't clean my room.
Overall I had a good experience. The hotel seemed to be running short on towels at all times. The cleaning staff did not clean my room. The desk attendant did step up and clean our room, even though it was not her job. Hot tub was not in service. The first 2 days I was there
the hot tub was tilted on its side, leaving a large hole. There was only 1 piece of caution tape blocking the hole. I felt this was a huge safety risk for my small children. There was also a drain opening for the pool that was above ground level and a fall hazard. ...

This hotel wasz the worst hotel I have stayed in. I read their web page and it said it had a pool And a hot tub just it didn't mention they were out of service for repairs. The breakfast was terrible. They ran out of coffee and took them 20 minutes.to make more and it was awful. The lobby closed at 11pm and if you tried to get something from the night staff they were rude like you were interrupting them. Just an awful place to stay. ...

Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Dep 25th Feb 2011
I think I must be mad to have signed up for this. Anyone else who is going on this trip, let me know that you're sane. It'll reassure me no end.........
Hi, good to know I'm not doing it on my own. You're right of course, what's one mad person amongst dozens? I'm travelling down from the famously mountainous.....South Lincolnshire. I'm in Grantham, which does at least have the odd hill, but Spalding and the fens is so flat you can stand on tiptoe and see Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam! This makes training a bit difficult but we'll see eh? Chris
Hi Chris
We are fortunate that we live between North Wales and the Lakes so there is plenty of opportunity to go hill climbing, not that we've taken the opportunity, not really possible with the weather. Been doing most of the training in the gym. We are going to climb Snowden probably towards the end of January, our friend in London will be coming to join us as well. You are welcome to come along and join us once we tie up the dates, if its not too far for you to travel. Have a good New Year. Mike

SOURCE Pacific Resources International
CARPINTERIA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For almost 30 years, California-based and family-owned and operated Pacific Resources International (PRI) is the pioneer and exclusive importer of high quality, premium, raw Manuka honey and unique products sourced directly from New Zealand. David Noll, founder and CEO of PRI, lived and worked in New Zealand for over 15 years before deciding to move back to the US and bring with him New Zealand's Manuka honey and products such as Pacific sea salts. Having worked with beekeepers, bee enthusiasts, government and third-party regulators, Noll's extensive knowledge and expertise on Manuka honey and New Zealand products have made him a prominent and influential resource among industry experts and players.
"PRI is one of the few exclusive companies that directly import Manuka honey from the source, New Zealand," says Noll. "Every retail pack of Manuka honey we bring in to the US is independently tested and certified pure and have met strict standards and regulations imposed by the New Zealand government." Approximately 9,000 to 12,000 tons of honey are produced annually in New Zealand, with almost half exported. These exports are valued around $81 million, including $4 million of premium raw honey which PRI brings into the US . Due to the high global demand for Manuka honey, PRI imports three (3) tested and high quality brands to ensure supply is met. It serves as the US store front for companies such as Arataki, Mossop's, Honeyland, Nelsons Honey and more.
But why Manuka? For centuries, the Native Maori people of New Zealand have used Manuka Honey to help fight bacterial infections and maintain immunity and digestion. PRI products, such as Mossop's UMF 15+ Raw Manuka Honey, have a powerful level of antibacterial properties-far beyond those found in traditional honeys. While all honeys have some antibacterial activity, the potency of this antibacterial activity can fluctuate up to 100-fold and varies upon the honey's floral source.
Manuka Honey is a mono-flower honey made by bees that feed solely on the uncultivated New Zealand Manuka bush, also called the "tea tree." What makes Manuka Honey special is the presence of unique enzymes that are tolerant to high heat, light and storage, as confirmed by researchers at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand. What this means is that Manuka Honey's superfood immunity-supporting qualities can be bottled, preserved, and shipped around the world when other honeys would lose this antibacterial strength.
"Sustainability harvested from New Zealand, our Manuka Honey is divinely sweet and pure," says Noll. "At the same time, Manuka Honey is an incredible aid to the body's nature defense system. We are proud to carry pure, premium, raw Manuka honey today and many years to come."
About Pacific Resources International Sourcing Manuka Honey directly from New Zealand bee keepers since 1989, Pacific Resources International (PRI) is an exclusive importer of both high quality Pacific Sea Salt and an extensive range of Manuka Honeys from New Zealand. PRI sources directly from the primary producers to avoid unnecessary processing and to ensure the highest quality ingredients.
PRI recently launched Manuka Honey Blend Bio Active 5+, Manuka Lemon & Honey Lollipops, and NPA 10+ Manuka Honey Strawberry Lozenges. For a full list of PRI products, please visit www.shoppri.com.

Roxanne Seerattan from LAVAL, QC
I made this recipe and thought it was super easy so I got even more creative and added things my husband and mother in law likes. I did combos(inside the puff pastry) of chocolate & caramel spread, chocolate & hazelnut spread and chocolate & peanutbutter they love it.but you see the pattern here nestle chocolate goes good with everything. Thank you,
sara madill from tyler, TX

Jan Wilkins from BLYTHEVILLE, AR
Sunday evening I attended a "High Tea". I made these to take. The only difference was I used 1 Cup of the Simi-Sweet Morsels instead of the Milk Chocolate. They were a hit.
joel tedder from FORT DODGE, IA
loved these. They are great with a cup of coffee or just sitting down and enjoying something on the delicate side.
Jane Evenson from MAPLE FALLS, WA
These were quite impressive looking.I made them for my ladies card playing group and they loved them.
DA ORLOSKI from MENTOR, OH
Linda Hitchcock from ALEXANDRIA, VA
These are my husband's absolute favorites. I have always had to buy them from the pricey local French bakery but this recipe allows me to make a comparable product at home.
Debbie Terpin from WHEATON, IL
It was very easy and taste very light.
Cynthia Martin from WINTER HAVEN, FL
Chocolate croissants are one of my favorite things...this was an easy recipe that comes close to duplicating them. They are especially good served slightly warm.
J.K. White from Anderson Township, Ohio
I've made this recipe twice now, once as written and last night I cut the dough into 9 squares as someone above had suggested. The smaller ones are a much better size for travel or parties, the larger ones great for a special breakfast for a family! Sent some of these with my husband to the Ohio vs. Michigan football game! LOVE this time-saving recipe!
Nancy Jones from
Thought this was good, but a little much to chocolate for our taste.....
trista decker from MANLIUS, NY

Sheila Neelan from Winnetka, CA
So easy to make and so very good these were a hit here
tray s from San Jose, CA
These desserts were to die for! I drizzled them with tempered white chocolate, once they cooled. They looked and tasted fantastic!
Kay Kegin from Kansas City, MO
I made this for the Homes Assoication and they wanted more. I'll make a triple recipe next time.
trista decker from manilus, NY
it's excellent to make for party's !!
Leonore Mangold from Ames,, IA
After making these several times and realizing how rich they were, I cut the dough into 9 squares and used less chocolate in each and did make 'petite' triangles!
Elizabeth Coleman from Clarksburg, PA
This recipe combines two of my favorite things, a flaky pastry and Chocolate! They are just DIVINE!
SYLVIA RAMIREZ from houston, TX
I love puff pastry, and with chocolate is the ultimate dessert! It was fairly easy to make and the taste was out of this world.
PCutchis from Highland, MD
I've made these many times with bittersweet chocolate as well, always delicious. And even easier way to finish them is to heat a prepared chocolate frosting and drizzle it over the top. My guests always think I've slaved for hours!
Esthela Slater from Zanesville, OH
This is an excellent and delicious recipe. I substituted semi-sweet chocolate morsels for the milk chocolate ones for a less sweet yet very rich chocolate flavor. Great with coffee or tea!
Anita Gilbert-Beers from Costa Mesa, CA
These are very very good, but incredibly rich. I made these one morning for breakfast, and nearly overdid it on the chocolate. My mother says she altered this recipe, and filled the pastry with cream cheese and the chocolate, with less sweet but still as yummy results (I haven't tried it for myself, though).
Sue Ruddy from
These were so easy and delicious. Next time I would cut the chocolate in half. They are very rich!!

Barack Obama Shows No Love For PSY Following 'Anti-American' Rap
December 10th, 2012 11:19am EST
Korean star PSY's "anti-American" lyrics from a 2004 song didn't keep the Asian sensation from performing at Sunday night's annual "Christmas in Washington" charity concert, with President Obama in attendance.
On Friday, the "Gangnam Style" star apologized after a song surfaced featuring the artist rapping about American troop and their families dying "slowly and painfully." PSY did his best to explain the comments in his statement, writing:
"The song I was featured in — from eight years ago — was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time," he said "While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words."
President Obama, who spoke after PSY performed his hit song "Gangnam Style," omitted the pop star's name during a short speech at the event. The President made sure to thank Diana Ross, Conan OConan and "all the other talented folks on this stage" — but understandably, no shout out for PSY.

"Its a Davidoff"
Wasn't sure when my son gave it to me. It was smooth and creamy at first. Then it becomes spicy and rich towards the end. Ecellent cigar.

Love this cigar starts out boring but get better every inch. Smooth, complex flavor and the most plesant after taste.

I've always claimed to not be a fan of Tonner dolls, but I think Precarious may have won me over. There are a couple of awesome outfits this year, too, and for what it's worth, somebody finally nailed Marilyn's face/expressions. Up to this point I never saw a MM doll that really looked like her. Tonner's does.
Sez me, anyway.

Area Names:
Hunt Area 36A*
Hunt areas are numbered sequentially by year and species. The unfortunate result is that a 2010 Deer Hunt Area 1-1 may not have the same boundary as a 2009 Deer Hunt Area 1-1 or even 2010 Elk Hunt Area 1-1. To be clear, always check the hunt area boundary to see if they match. For querying historical statistics you can use the huntplanner, drawing odds search and harvest statistics search tools on this site which do a rough match of historical hunt areas by units, species, weapons and other factors to allow comparison.
All of Unit 36A and that portion of Unit 36 south and east of State Highway 75.

An Effective SEO Technique: Fake it till You Make it
Blogging success cannot be achieved overnight. Popularity on the Web isn't an easy thing to gain. We all know that fame, popularity, and respect are all time-driven aspects we gain from experience.
Being a newbie is a phase that all bloggers go through. You can't rush fame. Even bloggers know how difficult it is to have few posts and few friends, when no one but spammers spend time commenting on your posts.
The problem with amateur bloggers is they tend to focus more on becoming popular than being an effective blogger. They tend to forget the main reason why they're blogging. They end up focusing on establishing a name and forgetting to write quality content. Worse is when they spend little time on their SEO, especially on link building.
"Fake it until you make it" is one principle every new blogger should follow.
There is nothing wrong with being a "temporary poser". Besides, you ventured into blogging because you know you can make it, that you have an identity and individuality you can share with other people. You don't have to explain your uniqueness on your About Page; you just have to show it in your posts. Write with conviction, and let your words stir your readers' emotion. A prolific writer is a storyteller, and he or she has a way with words that capture readers' feelings.
If you plan to dominate your niche, you have to know all aspects of it by heart. Spend time learning your niche, your style, and your genre. Keep in mind the very reason why you decided to blog. Stay focused on your goals and work towards these passionately.
Comment on other blogs as if you're an expert. Speak in a smart yet casual tone. Start a conversation that can result in threading comments, and never leave the conversation hanging. Make a polite exit if you feel that the conversation is going nowhere.
Give your blog a decent design and avoid using unsophisticated visual elements such as useless gifs and Flash animations. You can be playful with your site's aesthetics, but always be conscious of the limitations.
Do your SEO with class; do not bombard other blogs with links directed to your site, or force them to link with you. Choose your link building friends, and build a network that can provide your site with benefits in the future.

I am also a newbie in this field of blogging and SEO but I strive for the best SEO I can give to my clients. I liked your article, you have so many lines there that punched me. I quoted one, the principle of faking for new bloggers. LOL Can that be one key for the survival of the fittest in the blogosphere?
It goes without saying that everybody's new in the niche. I think many bloggers are afraid the readers expect results and experience. But a new blogger can bring different points of views to the table.
And this can be just as interesting as a established blogger.. -
@Kira thanks for the props
@Bjorn When I come across a new blog, if I feel the writer is being genuine, I will at least take a look at what they have to say. -
Absolutely, bloggers who are starting out need a bit of swagger in their step. And sometimes they need a little help. Supporting bloggers who need to fake it is precisely what we at the CommentCrew do.
A little time on link building can be a pain in the butt, got to spend allot of time and link building but making sure your doing it the right way I think. I do some daily seo tips myself but it's more on marketing then would not. good blog so far.
