We can't put it off any longer. After hours of bypassing the Magic Kingdom's new Enchanted Tales with Belle interactive storytelling experience, we know that it's now or never. At least on this trip.
The sun has begun to set. My husband and I lapse into a silence that makes the nearly 45 minutes in line seem to pass even more slowly than they actually do. Only the antics of the family ahead of us - three mini Minnies among them - punctuate the monotony.
We wind our way around the cottage of Belle, a.k.a. the Beauty in Disney's animated classic "Beauty and the Beast," and her father, Maurice. Surrounding us is a steady soundtrack of water tumbling in storybook falls and chirping (recorded) birds.
Eventually we make it into the cottage, where, of course, there's more waiting. The room is done up like a cozy living room for the father-daughter pair. The Minnies rush to measure themselves against the height hash marks on the wall. Other tots attack the books on a table and chair, which are wisely not books at all but imitations anchored in place.
At last, a cast member - not employee, thank you very much - beckons us into yet another holding area, this one resembling Maurice's workshop, where an "enchanted" mirror dramatically transforms into a door leading into another room.
"How does that work?" asks one child.
"It's magic!" the cast member brightly replies, as if here, at Disney World, no other explanation is required.
Which it isn't, really.
We start our day primed for princess-watching by waking up in our "royal guest room" at Walt Disney World's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside. The recently renovated quarters feature pictures of Disney movie princesses and other fun-to-discover details, the story being that they're mementos left for Tiana of "The Princess and the Frog" by her royal friends. So the faucets are magic lamps from "Aladdin," the bench resembles the dog/footstool from "Beauty and the Beast," and the shower curtain's theme is, appropriately enough, "The Little Mermaid." My favorite detail: The headboards that light up with a fiber-optic network to look like fireworks.
But our mission demands that we actually leave the room. It's time to find some royalty, starting with Belle.
Enchanted Tales with Belle is part of an expansion - officially opened on Dec. 6 - that when completed will nearly double the size of Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom, one of the four parks that make up Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. It's called New Fantasyland, Fantasyland being one of the Magic Kingdom's six themed areas. Fantasyland is the land of classic Disney and fairy tales. Think Peter Pan, Pinocchio and Cinderella. It's also home to the ride - and unstoppable earworm - It's a Small World.
New Fantasyland capitalizes on the princess phenomenon that girls and their mothers love - or loathe. The other princess getting top billing is Ariel of "The Little Mermaid," who has both a grotto where princesses-in-waiting can meet the under-the-sea royalty and a slow-moving ride that takes visitors through a condensed version of the film. Coming in 2014 is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, based on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
Not long after arriving at the Magic Kingdom, we head straight for Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid. I'm a Disney World veteran many times over, so I'm eager to see this new explosion of fantasy. But something appears to be amiss at the Ariel ride; the lack of a line certainly can't be due to a dearth of demand. The cast members stationed at the entrance confirm my suspicion: The ride is closed, though they don't say why.
"Maybe we should go to the grotto and complain to Ariel," my husband says, with a spoonful of snark.
As we regroup, we take the time to drink in the details of the expansion. Atop Ariel's real estate sits Prince Eric's castle, a seal with an "E" adorning a turret. Belle's Village has a French accent, with signs in French and flower-filled window boxes. There's a souvenir shop, a tavern and the Beast's castle, where we hope to eat a late lunch.
Although we're standing amid a sea of frills and sequins, much of the activity centers on the fountain depicting Gaston, the macho villain of "Beauty and the Beast." Here, in front of the waterworks, is the man himself, a bit of a black bouffant pulled into a ponytail, red shirt cinched in at the waist. Maybe he's in a Disney villain recovery program, because this Gaston is quite friendly and charming. Perhaps hordes of tiara-wearing girls have that effect on everyone.
Our princess ambitions foiled for the moment, I gear up to try another new experience: Disney World's FastPass Plus card. FastPasses have been around for years. They allow for timed admission to some of the parks' most popular attractions, sending pass-holders to the front of the line during an hour-long window. The catch? In most instances, you can have only one FastPass at a time.
Now Disney is in the process of testing the FastPass Plus card, which lets you select a limited number of FastPass attractions in advance. You then choose from one of several time combinations for your preferred rides or shows. We've lucked into participating in the pilot program.
We'd already tried our FastPass Plus cards the day before, at Hollywood Studios. Even though we had no problems, I can't help holding my breath each time I touch the card to the lollipop-shaped reader. It's almost designed to create suspense. After you tap the card, a white circle lights up and starts spinning, as if it's thinking. Then the reader, which includes an outline of Mickey Mouse, glows green, and voila, you're in. Whew.
The four-attraction roster we've loaded onto our FastPass card, in addition to the paper passes we collect, means that we're ricocheting pinball-style from land to land trying to time everything just so. It seems as if we're outsmarting the system, but between breaths, I can't shake the feeling that somehow, it's outsmarting us.
The Ariel ride has reopened. The advertised waiting time is 20 minutes - score! - but it turns out to be double that. Disney makes the queue more interesting with a game that allows our hand gestures to tell a little animated crab behind a plastic window whether the treasure he hauls out matches the rest of what's around him. I see a lot of these interactive games during our visit, something I don't remember from my last visit, eight years ago.
The ride itself is pretty tame. We sit in a clamshell vehicle that conveys us through scenes from the movie. Most striking is the animatronic technology. The figures in older rides - Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan's Flight - are stiff, with unnaturally smooth faces, as if they've been embalmed. Here, they look much more real, from Ariel's hair that bobs as if she's underwater to the chiseled torso of her father, Triton.
The constant motion between rides helps us work up a Beast-like appetite, so we head to his castle for lunch. We stand in line on the bridge that leads into the restaurant. The designers have worked in lots of elements inspired by the film, including the Beast's crest on the gates, gargoyles guarding the doors and a mosaic above the entrance modeled after the stained-glass windows shown at the beginning of the movie.
After a few minutes, we're allowed into the castle. It may as well be a movie set, except for the fact that the source material was, of course, animated. A group of tween-ish girls in front of us is singing the movie's eponymous romantic ballad. Suits of armor lining the hall chatter away. Sensory overload.
By day, Be Our Guest is a so-called quick-service dining option where you order your meals at a touch-screen terminal and then choose a table where waiters will bring food. It doesn't matter where you sit, because each table gets a palm-sized disk with a rose on it that helps servers unite the dishes with their intended consumers.
The main dining room has a high frescoed ceiling, lots of marble and floor-to-ceiling "windows" behind which animated snow is falling. Two smaller rooms flank the main space, one patterned after the forbidden west wing of the Beast's castle, complete with a hologram-like wilting rose that in the movie ordains the time the Beast has to redeem himself with love so that he can turn back into a human. The other room houses large images of scenes from the movie, as well as Beast and Belle figurines that dance in graceful circles.
So charmed, we take another gander at Enchanted Tales. The 70-minute estimated wait hasn't budged. It's almost time for our FastPass Plus entry into the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. If we do that, we can then use our regular FastPass at the Barnstormer kiddie coaster in Storybook Circus, the other revamped themed area in New Fantasyland. Then it's back to Belle.
But first we make an impulse decision. The stand-by wait for Dumbo the Flying Elephant is down to 10 minutes. It probably helps that the park now has two of these rides that spin you around in your own pachyderm, which you can maneuver up and down.
We don't wait in a traditional queue. Instead we get an electronic buzzer, a la the Cheesecake Factory, and bide our time in a circus tent where children can romp around on the indoor playground. We just sit on the periphery, and as an almost-30-year-old sans offspring, I worry that I look annoyed at the shrieks around me, or just plain out of place. But Disney's meant for kids of all ages, right? When it's our turn to ride, I let my husband operate the altitude control stick while I try not to get too nauseated by the relentless whirling. I guess I'm not quite as much of a kid as I used to be.
Next door, the Barnstormer takes all of about a minute to ride, which is infinitely shorter than the time we waited to board, even with our FastPass. Still, it's a nice change of pace from the more intense roller coasters.
The pace slows a lot more once we bite the bullet and start our wait for Enchanted Tales.
Inside, in the post-magical-mirror room, the brassy, lilac-hued Wardrobe from the movie stands at attention at the front. She's a sort of hybrid, an actual closet merged with a head that has both animatronic and projected facial features.
She welcomes us and further explains why we're here: As a surprise for Belle, we're going to re-enact the night that she and the Beast fell in love. The cast member, hoarse from a long day of enthusiasm, I presume, assigns roles to some of the audience to play. I hang back, preferring to watch the spectacle.
After several minutes quietly surveying the room, Wardrobe springs back to life and bids us farewell as we stream into the Beast's library.
In addition to being awed by Wardrobe and her colleague Lumiere, the candelabra figure in the library, we enjoy the children's acting. It's all quite cute.
By the time we leave the cottage, the sun has set. The pint-sized princesses are all turning into Sleeping Beauties. We slowly make our way toward the front of the park, our speed slackening as we stop in various souvenir shops. I walk out of one, and my breath catches in my throat as Cinderella Castle comes into full view, illuminated in purple and dripping with white icicle lights. It's beautiful - even, yes, magical.
We go into another store on the park's Main Street. When we come out, it's snowing - Disney's manufactured version of the white stuff, anyway. The flakes come puffing out of the building rooftops. I grab my husband's hand.
I may not have an elegant ball gown on, but I think that even a Disney princess would be hard-pressed to experience a better fairy-tale ending.

vacation rental description
Oh, the memories you will make at Turtle Dunes, our beachfront house in Ponte Vedra! Lounge on the wraparound deck, enjoy HDTV, and bring the whole gang – we've even got a separate-entry suite on the ground floor. Great views and fun times await you here!
Comfortably sleeping 9, our completely renovated oceanfront bungalow is a cheery, pleasant, spacious place to enjoy the beautiful family-friendly sands of Ponte Vedra Beach up close. From the wide deck, a wooden boardwalk leads right down to the beach, over dunes of palm, yucca, and other native plants. Birds, rabbits, and even turtles inhabit these dunes, so if you should wake up early one morning to catch the sunrise (an unforgettable sight at Turtle Dunes!), you'll probably spy wildlife. And of course, stately lines of pelicans glide overhead all day, en route to the surf and some dive-bombing fishing!
The deck offers plenty of space for lounging, sitting, playing, and even dining. Our barbecue grill is at your disposal and our chaise lounges are highly addictive! No matter the time of day, the deck usually gets a mix of sun and shade, so you can find just the right exposure.
When it's time to step inside, enter a sun-washed space with handsome diagonal wood paneling, high windows, and sloping ceilings. Turtle Dunes combines the coziness of a traditional beach bungalow with the lighter, airier ambiance of a contemporary house. The result is a place the whole group will feel at home in right away!
The living area at Turtle Dunes invites you to flop down and enjoy some downtime after a busy day at the beach, on the links, or at the historic sites of St. Augustine. Stretch out on our sectional sofa, turn on the HDTV, and suddenly a problem arises: will you be able to keep your eyes open?! Oh, wait, it doesn't matter – you're on vacation! Or, if you're determined to stay alert, cozy up in one of the chairs overlooking the ocean, binoculars in your lap. You just might see a school of dolphins passing by, not to mention exotic birds at all times of day!
When it's time for a snack, wander into the kitchen and dining area of the house. Filled with sunlight spilling in from a wall of windows, this area is a cheerful place any time of day. The cupboards are filled with cookware, dishes, and utensils, the appliances are sparkling, and there are plenty of time-savers you'll appreciate when you're trying to get the gang out the door in the morning: a microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, and most importantly, a dishwasher!
Sit at the table and enjoy your snack while updating your Facebook status (you have free WiFi at Turtle Dunes, and should you need to bring your laptop, rest assured that the signal is great even out on the deck!), or break out the cards for a quick 500 Rummy tournament. You can even use this table to lay out a jigsaw puzzle – you know you're going to be dining al fresco on the deck anyway!
The living and dining areas at Turtle Dunes are peaceful and relaxed, but the bedrooms are positively serene. Each bed is guaranteed to deliver a great night's sleep, and everyone will feel at home immediately in our bedrooms. We provide all the fresh linen you need, plus towel sets for the bathrooms and a washer and dryer to keep your linens and clothes clean. There's even an enclosed outdoor shower!
The master suite is especially nice, with a king-sized bed and a desk, not to mention a private half-bath. There are also 2 more bedrooms on the main floor: one with a double-sized bed, the other with a set of bunkbeds and a TV – a kid's dream come true! These rooms share a full bathroom with both a shower and tub.
Downstairs, through an exterior entrance, is an in-law suite perfect for grandparents, teenagers, or a second couple traveling with you. There's a double bed in here, plus a full bath. Privacy is such a luxury during a group vacation – this suite is always highly prized!
Best of all, Turtle Dunes is one of just a handful of beachfront houses along this lovely strip of coastline. Come stay in paradise.

3.68/5 rDev +4.5%
12 oz bottle poured into a Sam Adams pint glass. Creamy tan head holds up at about an inch. Depending on the pour, the head has pretty good legs or just drops down right away. After four of these over the last few days it's about 50/50. Body color is a clear dark amber. The nucleation ring on the bottom of the glass kicks up a steady stream of carbonation.
Peaches dominate the smell, with a dark malt rounding out the edges. This is a fairly tart peach, verging on a nectarine. I'm glad it's not a sweetened peach like cobbler filling. Taste actually slides back and is like pie filling. It is a juicy peach filling and comes off fairly natural. At this point the pecans sneak in and give a crunchy pie crust finish.
Mouthfeel is a little syrupy and sweet. The peach aftertaste has a fizzy character that has nothing to do with the carbonation. This is a great dessert beer and would be great for a holiday party. I don't see this as a dunkelweizen as more of a straight up fruit beer.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue XI:
Dunkelweizen meets fruitcake. Here is Spoetzl Brewery's take on making a holiday beer out of a Bavarian-Style Dark Wheat Beer. Brewed with peaches, pecans, natural flavor and caramel color. Hey, at least they admit they use flavoring and color. Worried? Perhaps, but we'll let our taste buds be the judge.
Yup, it's a wheat beer with its towering head, good retention and all. Peach aroma dominates the nose, yet there are hints of pecans and some toasted maltiness. Ample smoothness with a slick, medium body. Fresh wheat malt and toasted grain are a good base that hold this beer together. Peach flavor has a mild twang within the subtle sweetness. Nutty, with a light pecan note in the middle. Mild hop presence does not get in the way, though it does help to balance. Finishes dry with a toasted bread crust and lingering pecan flavor.
Interesting, a flavored holiday ale where we would possibly want more than one. Nice to see something different rather than the usual pie spicing that ends up tasting like organic toothpaste. A good pick for the holiday party, as it will definitely spark some interest if not conversation. This is without a doubt a beer that non-beer drinkers could approach and hopefully get pulled into.

Wow a holiday beer in mid October...it gets earlier every year it seems like.Poured into a weizen glass a deep reddish infused russet color with a thinner pillow-like head atop.Peach and toasted wheat in the nose,not bad but the peach seemed artificial,maybe its not,just seemed so.Alot of peach flavor and there is some of the roasted pecan flavor in there,its smooth and surprisingly rich.A bit of toasted wheat malt to go with the fruity and nuttiy flavors.Not a bad beer,I bought it for my wife and I came out liking it more than her.Again Shiner gives me a pleasant surprise.

A- Awefully clear for a Dunkelweisse. Red/amber with, I think, the most bubbles i've ever seen rising to a frothy head.
S- Peachy? Yes. Also, somewhat of a dirty dish sponge note that is off-putting and some sweet malt.
T&M- Fairly muddled taste, but clearly peachy. Slightly nutty in the finish, but the highlights for me were caramel and vanilla in the mid-palate, and a nice malty mouthfeel. Gets a little better as it warms.
Not a very desirable beer by any means and definately a stretch calling this a Dunkelweiss.

Notes from 11/30/2010; best by 2/17/11
Pours a deep reddish brown w/1-2 fingers of light brown head.
Smell is massive peach aroma. It is interesting but a little domineering. Wheat and malt aromas come through as well.
Taste is peach, wheat and malt predominately, though some faint notes of pecan do come through. Interesting flavor combination, actually tastes pretty good.
Mouthfeel is light and clean.
Overall, the peach is a bit much after awhile, but I though this was an unexpectedly interesting, easy drinking holiday brew.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12 oz bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance: The body has a dark garnet red color with visible carbonation inside. The pour produced a tall light tan head with good retention and lacing.
Smell: There are loads of ripe and over ripe peaches, nectarines and plums. Behind all the fruit it has a light white bready maltiness.
Taste / Palate: The aroma is matched on the tongue. It's sweet up front with loads of stone fruit with a touch of tart black cherry. Mild hop bitterness come in to add a nice balance of bitterness in the finish.
Notes: This is an amazingly complex and well-balanced beer from the Spoetzl Brewery!

A simply unique seasonal Christmas beer! Living in NE Ohio we are fortunate enough to enjoy Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Thirsty Dog's 12 Dogs of Christmas. However, Shiner Cheer from Texas has become our favorite Holiday beer surpassing all the fantastic beers we are able to enjoy in Ohio. Additionally, the branding and color permutation of the label may be the best out there. So cool and so glad this beer has arrived!

Bottle pours a clear mahogany body with a creamy beige head that lasts the duration. Some attractive patchy lace clings to the glass. Nice looker.
Aroma is peeaches and toasted pecans. Peach essence seems to be a blend of canned and fresh.
Body and carbonation are medium and the mouthfeel has the creaminess of a dunkelweizen.
Taste is like the aroma, toasted pecans and peaches. A hint of wheat malt twang is the only suggestion of a dunkelweizen. Vague hop bitterness balances.
No real dunkelweizen character here but the peaches and pecans create a unique taste profile. An interesting take on a holiday brew.

Pours dark red with an off-white head. Aroma is strong peaches and maybe some pecans. Flavor is pecan, caramel malt and peaches. Quite a bit of nuttyness in the flavor and it finishes slightly bitter. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. I think this is targeted towards macro drinkers but it is an interesting beer anyway. Not bad overall.

Mark Barron: The new 'Buccaneer Man'Before he was even asked a question about his first pick as coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Greg Schiano was painting a portrait that probably still is invisible to most Tampa Bay fans. Schiano had just stunned his fan base -- and probably the rest of the world -- by taking Alabama safety Mark Barron at No. 7. A safety at No. 7? This guy had better be the second coming of Ronnie Lott and Ed Reed put together or, at very least, John Lynch Jr. You dont take a safety at No. 7, and say you gladly would have taken him at No. 5, unless you think hes special. Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik definitely thought Barron was special. I think he fits into what we do defensively perfectly, Schiano said. You couldnt draw it up any better. That probably doesnt excite you, especially if you wanted the Bucs to stay put at No. 5 and draft LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. And I know there was a contingent of Tampa Bay fans who thought Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly would be a perfect fit after the Bucs traded out of No. 5 and Claiborne went to Dallas at No. 6. Either of those would have fit the profile of what weve come to expect from the Buccaneers, stretching back to Tony Dungy, running through the Jon Gruden era (with Monte Kiffin as the bridge) and right through the ugly final days of Raheem Morris. But heres the thing: Those days are over. This is Schianos team now. Unless youre a die-hard Rutgers fan, you dont have any clue what a Schiano team looks like. Even if all your Knights are scarlet, you might see some changes as Schiano adjusts to the NFL. Hes not about to publicly share his X's and O's, but he certainly has implied this team is going to look a lot different in a lot of ways. Believe it or not, that might start at safety because Barron is going to be tied to Schiano forever, for better or worse. I think our safeties have to be more dynamic than in most schemes, Schiano said. At 6-foot-1 and 213 pounds, Barron is big enough to play in the box and make an impact on a run defense that needs improvement. With 12 career interceptions, Barron also has shown the ability to make plays in coverage. He needs to be able to do a lot of things, and he is capable of them, Schiano said. Hes going to have to cover wide receivers man to man, Schiano said. Thats a change from the days of Kiffins Cover 2, when safeties picked up wide receivers only after they got past the cornerbacks and Lynch often played the role of a linebacker. That may not be enough in an NFC South in which Drew Brees has thrown for 5,000 yards in a season and Cam Newton and Matt Ryan can put up big numbers. In case you havent noticed, thats not just an NFC South trend. All around the league, teams are throwing the heck out of the ball. Safety has become an extremely important position now, Dominik said. More important than cornerback? Where the Bucs have Eric Wright, an aging Ronde Barber and a question mark in Aqib Talib? Obviously, the Bucs think so. Dominik said the Bucs would have chosen Barron at No. 5 if they had stayed put. That means they would have chosen him over Claiborne, who was widely considered the best cornerback in this draft. Thats a pretty strong statement from a team that has chosen only two defensive backs in the first round in its history and both of those were cornerbacks. Theres even a bit more pure football logic about this pick. The Bucs had a big need at safety after releasing Tanard Jackson. They were left with Cody Grimm, a possible move to safety by Barber and not much else. Barron fills that need. But I dont think this pick was completely about X's and O's and pure football ability. I think the selection of Barron was another sign that Schiano is going to do things much differently than in the past. Something obviously cooled the Bucs on Claiborne. Maybe it was that he reportedly had a low Wonderlic score or maybe it was something else. Schiano said he and Dominik saw sparks the first time they watched film of Barron. By the time they interviewed him at the combine, there was a flame. As they talked about Barron, Schiano and Dominik both mentioned that he was a two-time captain for a team that won two national championships during his stint. He fits who we are and what we are, Schiano said. I get the impression Schiano cares a lot about what guys bring as players, but Im getting an even stronger sense he cares about what they bring as people and how that can translate into winning. Thats sort of a new concept around here, at least since the Dungy days. He fits who we are and what we are, Schiano said. In other words, the Bucs think Barron can step right in and be a leader on a team that desperately lacked leadership and personality in the Morris days. Our coaches are excited to get their hands on him and mold him into a Buccaneer Man, Dominik said. Weve heard the phrase Buccaneer Man a lot since Schiano took over. The problem is we have no idea what the new Buccaneer Man is supposed to be. But now were starting to get a bit of a portrait. With Barron, theres a face and maybe an outline of a body and a personality. Looks a little like a good athlete, a natural leader and a guy who was asking if there was a way to get his hands on a playbook Thursday night, even though hes scheduled to fly to Tampa first thing Friday morning. Maybe the Barron pick doesnt look so bad -- or blank -- after all.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
I think we have a ton of three safety looks this year with Goldson and Tandy/Black playing deep, and Barron closer to the line
Is he light years better than Roman Harper in coverage already? Hels Yeah.
Mark Barron's forte was never pass coverageThat's not what they said when he was drafted.
Good thing we spend our top ten pick, our reward for losing 10 straight games, on a DB that can't cover well. Being number 1 against the run is so 1995.

There are many reasons why your taxes could have skyrocketed but if you think there is nothing you can do to get these paid, tax relief companies are here to help! Tax relief companies do not only offer lending money for tax payments but they also help you decrease your taxes. How do they do that?
Just like every problem in the world, aside from solutions, there are also loopholes. Tax relief companies know what these loopholes are but they only disclose these solutions to sure customers. These loopholes are guaranteed to be legal and there are not against the law. Tax reliefs are big help to people who are struggling to pay their taxes especially when they have more expenses than income.
With the economy's status right now, tax relief should be everywhere. People sometimes try to get away with paying their taxes since the government asks for too much tax with very small wage from the open jobs nowadays. Aside from tax issues, it is impossible that a country has no problem with employment. Everything is connected in the government, if there is poor number of employment, it reflects to the country's economy. If there are many open jobs, the taxes are high. Well, they actually are high even with low number of open jobs.
How Do I Know My Tax Relief Company Is Doing The Services For Me?
If you have a tax relief company that is not that famous and after some months of getting your tax relief services from them, how will you make sure that they really are doing what you pay them to do? It will be really hard to tell especially if they don't send you any receipts as proofs that they are doing all the tax relief services for you. Here is an article about investigating if you really are getting what you are paying for.
Before you read on, prepare a written letter for suing your tax relief company just in case you prove that they are not doing what you are paying them for and then send the letter to the investigation bureau so they can quietly investigate. A way to tell if you are getting the tax relief services you are paying for is by asking them for a receipt for "filing purposes" and if they can't show you any, this will raise suspicion. If you still want to go forward and investigate before suing them, try asking them for how much you paid for on a random date and pretend there might be a miscalculation. If still nothing is presented to you, it's time to do what is in the second paragraph.

Last weeks episode was a little boring, the killings of zombies, I mean "walkers" needs to be ramped up a bit this week, Im hoping this opening scene at the school is entertaining.
I love the show. The ending of the first episode of season 2-WOW. Then last nites ep. Again, with the twists. This show is great at bringing the unexpected.Don't understand the FX not on DTV issue, the show in on AMC, not FX. And AMC is NOT part of FOX.
Show keeps getting better and better, glad that the show is different from the comic in that because, you read the comic you would know what happens in the show and to me that's not fun all the time. Only thing that annoys me is the missing child plot from this season.
just watched the first 4 episodes of Breaking Bad. Good show. I'm going to be busy watching the other 29 on Netflix.

Secret miners' business

Where were the miners at Indaba?
For the uninitiated, Where's Wally is one of those delightful children's puzzles that involves trying to spot a cartoon character wearing a candy-striped top in a large crowd. While that might not seem to have a lot to do with mining, it does if you were trying to find a genuine miner at last week's Mining Indaba in Cape Town.
Consulting outlook 2014: End of the big freeze?
A key mining-service growth area of the past decade or so, the billion-dollar-a-year technical consulting sector had its annus horribilus last year.

Shingles is a painful infection of the nerves and skin.
Shingles is caused by the
varicella zoster virus. This is the same virus that causes
Shingles occurs in people who have had chickenpox. After causing the first chickenpox infection, the virus is not totally eliminated from the body. Some of the remaining virus settles in nerve roots near the spinal cord. When reactivated, the virus travels along nerve paths to the skin where it causes pain and a rash.

Factors that may increase the risk of shingles include:
Shingles can occur in those with no known risk factor.
Shingles is not usually transmitted from one person to another. But, a person who has never had chickenpox and never received the
is likely to get chickenpox if contact occurs with a person who has shingles.
Covering shingles sores with a bandage reduces the risk of transmitting shingles to others.
Symptoms may include:
The rash usually disappears within three weeks. In some cases, though, post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) develops. With PHN, the pain continues for months or even years after the rash has healed. PHN can be severe and difficult to treat.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor can diagnose the rash by its appearance. Fluids may be drawn from the blisters for testing, but this is not done very often.
Shingles cannot be cured. Treatment focuses on:
Your doctor may recommend that you use these treatments to reduce discomfort:
If you are not getting any relief from the over-the-counter products, your doctor may prescribe medicine. For example, your doctor may prescribe a short course of oral steroid medicine such as
Certain antiviral medicines may control shingles. Examples include:
Antiviral therapy may shorten a shingles episode. But you must start it within 48-72 hours after symptoms first develop.
If you develop PHN, your doctor may recommend:
If you develop shingles on your face, contact your doctor right away. You may be prescribed medications, such as steroids to treat this condition. Without treatment, permanent eye damage can result, including glaucoma, scarring, and blindness.
herpes zoster vaccine is recommended for people aged 60 years and older. The vaccine decreases the likelihood of getting shingles and reduces the severity of PHN if shingles does occur.
If you do have shingles, take these steps to prevent giving chickenpox to others:

"Girl Hunter is an evocative account of Pellegrini's gun-to-table experiences…It's an unlikely pairing of Nigella Lawson's culinary skills and Hemingway's grit." - Macleans
"Ms. Pellegrini takes the conversation on sourcing our food beyond the farmers market, beyond the local-pastured, organic meat of even the most specialized butcher's shop. She's gone into the fields for herself and echoes José Ortega y Gasset's philosophical defense of hunting—that there is something worthwhile in the wild, something we need, and that our modern lives don't scratch the itch, they only disguise it." - Wall Street Journal
"[Pellegrini's] book has a Carrie Bradshaw meets Annie Oakley vibe…She's an exotic meats tourist."
- New York Times

"I know. I'm just solo this year," he smiled. "It's just one of those things. There should've been a lot more
ballplayers here, but that's not our choice. We don't pick 'em."
Thus, he's the only representative from a White Sox team that surged into the AL Central lead just in time
for the All-Star break. It's a vast difference from last year's game at U.S. Cellular Field, where Loaiza was
the American League starting pitcher and one of three White Sox to make the team.
That Chicago team came into last year's break looking for momentum. This year's version has it in
abundance with a four-game winning streak, thanks in no small part to a powerful lineup. The White Sox rank third in the American League in both home runs and slugging percentage, and their streak started with a dramatic 9-8
comeback victory over the Angels last Thursday.
Loaiza, however, continues to set a tone for this team on the mound. A year after becoming the first White
Sox pitcher in a decade to win 20 games, his eight victories are second on the team and earned him
selection from AL manager Joe Torre.
He wishes he had the same momentum entering the break as his team, having struggled with one victory in
his last six starts and having started that comeback victory Thursday, but he kept the White Sox in enough
other games of a lower-scoring variety in the first half to wait out the offense.
"Right now, I have eight wins," he said. "I know my ERA's high and everything, but I'm here. I'm an All-
Star back-to-back."
He won't start this time around, but he has a pretty good idea when he'll be pitching. Torre told him he'll
likely follow former Rangers teammate Kenny Rogers as the second reliever in the game once starter Mark
Mulder leaves. He'll pitch either one or two innings depending on the course of the game, hoping to
duplicate his two scoreless innings from last year.
It's not the glamour of the starting nod, but it's not the stress, either.
"That was really big for me, starting in my own town," Loaiza said of last year's outing. "It was a great
thing for me. Now, I'm here and I think I'm going to be throwing loose [Wednesday] for one or two innings
and see what happens."
Since he'll be going on his regular rest, his arm shouldn't be a problem.
"It's my fifth day [since starting]," he said. "I can go an inning or two and have five days off again. This is
an All-Star Game, and whether it's one hitter or two innings, I just want to go out there for whatever [Torre]
gives me."

How has it been over-exaggerated? If Blount was picking up the pass blocking and catching, then why did he sit on the bench the entire year? I think it's pretty obvious that being one dimensional has been his demise, because he is certainly a hell of a runner.
Go watch camp. Blount drops everything thrown his way....and martin is outstanding in pass protection. No idea what you are talking about.
