In Focus: The Kevin Pietersen controversy
Players/Officials: Kevin Pietersen
Series/Tournaments: ICC World Twenty20
Teams: England
Kevin Pietersen has been omitted from England's provisional 30-man squad for the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka later this year, despite his insistence that he was available for the event. The announcement suggests Pietersen is unlikely to end his premature retirement from limited-overs internationals in the near future.
Pietersen, who was player of the tournament when England won the World T20 in the Caribbean in 2010 - the only global trophy they have ever won - has always maintained his desire to play in England's defence. Last week he said he would also be open to an ODI return if his schedule could be lessened. "I would love to play for another three or four years in all forms of cricket," he said.
Under the terms of England central contracts, a player cannot be considered for one format of the limited-overs game unless they are available for both. While Pietersen's comments suggest he is prepared to play all formats, the England management still consider him 'retired' as he remains reluctant to commit to the team's full schedule.
Andy Flower, the England team director, responded to the news that Pietersen's representatives were in talks with the ECB by saying that the situation had not changed and that a return was unlikely. He appears to have got his way, with Alex Hales, who scored 99 on his return to the T20I side against West Indies in June, likely to continue as opener.
The final squad will be cut to 15 by August 18, ahead of the start of the tournament in mid-September. England's first game will be against Afghanistan on September 21, with India also in Group A. While there is scope for players outside the 30 to be named in the final 15, it can only happen in exceptional circumstances. That usually means injury.
While there is no place for Pietersen, there are recalls for England's ODI captain, Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, who has recently made a successful return to the ODI side, Michael Lumb, who opened for England in the Caribbean in 2010, and Gareth Batty, who enjoyed a good domestic T20 season with Surrey. Joe Root, the young Yorkshire batsman, is also included for the first time, as is Lancashire's Steven Croft, alongside other young players such as Ben Stokes, James Taylor and Jos Buttler.
Matt Prior, England's Test wicketkeeper who has continued to impress in limited-overs cricket at domestic level, is also an intriguing selection and offers a potential alternative to Craig Kieswetter.
Provisional squad Stuart Broad (capt), James Anderson, Jonathan Bairstow, Gareth Batty, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Scott Borthwick, Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Jos Buttler, Alastair Cook, Steven Croft, Steven Davies, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Alex Hales, Craig Kieswetter, Michael Lumb, Stuart Meaker, Eoin Morgan, Graham Onions, Samit Patel, Matt Prior, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Graeme Swann, James Taylor, James Tredwell, Chris Woakes, Luke Wright

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 737 reviewers.
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Mr hooker Good staff and good location Check in a very good experience. Room clean and good ambiance . Young lobby waitress didn't have much of a clue. Waited 25 minutes for first drink order to be delivered. I beckoned girl and she ran in the other direction. Finally delivered wine, half poured, left bottle ( only ordered 1 glass) and ran off. Senior waitress later apologised when she saw bottle. We didn't consider event other than a possible one off. Concierge and doorman very good. 18 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by KaznPete Exceptional Club Room Service We recently stayed in a club room and our expectations were exceeded in relation to the club service and facilities, we were treated like special guests. Would definitely stay in a club room again, great value. 17 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by HKer Beautiful Hotel, centrally located Super convenient. Located right above the Bugis Junction MRT Station. Taxi from airport to hotel costs about SGD18-22 (one way). Bugis Junction is joint with several shopping arcades, where I can find many fashion stores, ISETAN dept store, hair salons, supermarket (Cold Storage), at least 2 food courts, and many other different types of restaurants / cafes. Across the street, you can find hawker food centers and stores located in walking street. Singapore National Library is just located opposite to the hotel. It took me 20 min walk from the hotel to Boat Quay & Clark Quay for great food. 5 min walk to Raffles Hotel. 10 Min walk to SunTech City. This location beats Orchard Road. 17 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Janrod A magnet that keeps drawing us back We have stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel Singapore a number of times and keep getting drawn back there. It is our bolt hole when we need time away from the cares of the world. Apart from being well situated next to the Bugis Centre, the hotel is a haven of peace both for the business visitor or tourist. You are always assured of a warm welcome by friendly, professional staff who go out of their way to ensure you have a memorable stay. Rooms are clean, comfortable, quiet and well appointed. My advice if you have any doublets about staying here is to give it a try. You will not be disappointed. 16 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by hermesita great pied-à-terre in Singapore I have found my base in Singapore, Intercontinental ! Easy, comfortable & convenient ! 16 April 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by MO traveler Good business hotel Nice property, good location with shopping and MRT access. Breakfast if included is convenient. Staff is friendly and accomodating. Fitness center badly needs updating, which is the one con that keeps me from unequivocally recommending this hotel if a good gym is a priority, I'm a IHG platinum member but didn't seem to get much in terms of additional benefits at this hotel. 13 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jasonzh Good hotel 很好的酒店,装修,餐饮,位置,都无可挑剔,在新加坡首选的酒店,周边的购物环境也哼好,早餐一流。物超所值,值得推荐。 12 April 2014

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by jonrob Oasis in the mayhem This centrally located hotel was so peaceful and quiet one hardly realised it was linked to a shopping mall.The food in the Olive Tree and service was wonderful we wish we had stayed longer to sample food in the other two restaurants. We could not have a late check out but were directed to the health club to shower before leaving late afternoon - don't bother the facilities are basis and it was like a sauna we did not feel at all refreshed. Perhaps the hotel should consider having a transit room to hire on an hourly basis so you can leave refreshed. The Concierge desk and doormen were wonderful and knowledgeable and helped us get the best from our very short stay. 11 April 2014
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by seen 飯店價格高檔,但服務感覺並沒有高檔 事先有寫Email詢問是否可以延遲退房,客服回答需視房間狀況而定,然而前一晚入住的Holiday Inn卻是很爽快的答應。雖然飯店政策確實明顯告知需視當天入住情況而定,但不免讓人心裡覺得有差異。 此外,我約一個月前就已經預訂,本來以為房間應該都會準備好了,但當天辦理入住登記時,櫃檯人員才在努力尋找房間;同時,在預訂時有要求希望能安排入住高樓層,但是在沒有事先準備房間的情況下,臨時要找當然找不到,最後只安排入住在六樓! 感覺服務並未完全... 同時,雖然只是IHG的Club會員,但是前一晚的Holiday Inn很貼心的給了一封顧客關懷信。雖然沒什麼大不了,但相較之下,身為IHG集團最高等級的Intercontinental Hotel,服務竟然與一般飯店無太大差異,深感失望! 09 April 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Jun P. Nice Stay Everything is Fine, except during my arrival, it appears that the Hotel DID NOT MIND my request for connecting rooms (coz of my kids). Me and my family were made to wait for some time before some arrangement were made. Maybe its just a communications problem with the reservation and the Front desk staff. Hotel facilities is very nice, location is commendable. My kids says: Breakfast is good (next time please provide baguette) 09 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Edgarmchc Singapore's Best I have been staying at this facility for the past 5 years and I have seen how the hotel and staff has evolved for the best. Structurally the hotel is what you'd expect from an Intercontinental hotel, very clean rooms, great beds and pillows and top of the line amenities. The staff of the hotel is friendly, knowledgeable and really make an effort to make you feel at home. At the moment they have a stellar management staff. The general manager is a superb hospitality expert, Michael B. the rooms director is a rising star in the organization, guest relations managers and duty managers are committed professionals with one goal in mind, making our stay as comfortable as possible. Ms. Jess Y. is a mega star. I definitely recommend this hotel as a preferred Singapore destination. I look forward to many more years of doing business with this hotel and the Intercontinental brand. 07 April 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Joannie915 Great location and friendly staff The hotel is connected to Bugis Junction and it took 5 minutes walk from my room to MRT. There is a market and food centre opposite to the hotel. Two large shopping arcades nearby. We had been offered the signature room which was spacious, clean and with comfy beds, though we needed to walk to the other wing going through some stairsteps. Staff in the reception, corridor or even in the swimming pool are really polite and friendly. I enjoyed the stay in this hotel. The only downside was a concierge whom I met on the first day of stay that he didn't want to serve me and kept talking on the phone. There was also a lady queuing behind me. Then after a few minutes, a female staff rushed to the desk but she talked to the lady and simply ignored me! 07 April 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Jim boy Professional Service I have found staying in Intercontinental Singapore is a pleasant and relaxing experience with every staff friendly and helpful servcing my needs. The breakfast buffet is also fine and cover for different taste but would be even more exciting if the food change slightly on a daily in particularly the western style. 06 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 very comfortable hotel at Bugis, Singapore I sleep at this hotel due to my office conference. I found that this hotel has a very comfortable pillow and bedding. based on my experience, this is one of the most comfortable hotel I ever stayed. I had a very good sleep quality in this hotel. anyway, beside the marvellous historic architecture, this hotel is strategicly located in Bugis area. you can just shop by opening the hotel door. if possible, I would like to stay in this hotel again in the future. 06 April 2014
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by LoyalGuest Service Level & Room Has Degraded I am writing to express to the management about being too complacent. Over pass 2 years I observed the service is getting below expectation of Intercontinental brand. The room house keeping often forgets items and my last stay, the room has a fishy smell that was covered up by strong air fresher. That made it worst. I am quite disappointed at my last stay. 03 April 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Christin88 feels like home it's always be a good experience to be back and stay at Intercontinental Singapore. Since I try to stay in there 4 years ago, I never want to move to other hotel when I go back to Singapore. Intercontinental SIngapore always make me feels like back to home when I stay in their room. the service and staff was excellent, the staff was really nice and helpfull. beside all of it the location of the hotel that near with the market and also bugis junction and of course the MRT make me so happy and love to be there. I love when the moon cake season come, cause the moon cake from Intercontinental Singapore was my favorite. i always love and cant wait to be back and stay there again. when I dreaming about Intercontinental Singapore I dream about home... 03 April 2014
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Renee105 Could of been good We stayed one night in this hotel. Our first impression was wow! The room was beautifully laid out and very clean. The staff were attentive and helpful. We decided to have a coffee in the lounge it was the most expensive coffee I have come across. $12 sing When we returned to our room late at night we tried to have a shower but the tap did not work. Only hot water. We had a bath instead. We got to bed. They had a super soft pillow top underlay. Unfortunately too soft. We decided to remove it. That's ok. Our choice. The only problem was the mattress underneath was tired and sagging. If we were staying longer we would of complained about the shower and the bed but we didn't want to have to shift rooms late at night. Overall the hotel is great but for the money we paid we don't feel that we had the best experience. 01 April 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Happy Nomads Lovely hotel with great location. We checked into the hotel at 2:30 AM. The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming and acknowledged my Ambassador status. We had a lovely shop house room on the 2nd floor with easy access to the Club Lounge. We spent 7 days and enjoyed the Club Lounge with wonderful daily breakfasts, afternoon tea and cocktails each evening. While the serving staff was very friendly however when we entered the Club we were never acknowledged by name. In fact on our first morning, at breakfast, no one even asked our name or room number when we entered. I found this most unusual from my experience at other Club Lounges. I must say that the furniture in the lounge is so uncomfortable that very few people sit on it. Way too deep. It seems everyone would vie for a table with chairs. I am used to comfy lounge chairs and sofas. We ate at Man Fu Yuan and the food and service was excellent. We tried the Olive Tree once but found the setting to be tired looking and the food mediocre. However our waiter was very friendly. All in all we enjoyed our first visit to Singapore. 31 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by ms222 Best Singapore Stay After many visits to Singapore this was by far the best hotel stay experience I've had. Staff service was particularly outstanding. Thank you! 31 March 2014
Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Danris Needs to have a facelift The first experiences of the hotel upon arrival were great, really friendly staff at reception and concierge, but then it went down hill. The rooms even though i had a double upgrade were old, the duvet cover had a rip in it and the hand towels were fraying. The gym was a joke, really old machines that were held together with electrical tap, also the staff did not acknowledge you at all. Then there is the lobby bar and restaurant two of the worse experiences i have had, the service was rubbish. it felt as if this was a training hotel with plenty of new recruits but very little experience on the floor. and the Buffet was not worth the price as well as the decor is old and tacky. The main saving grace was the club lounge the staff were great and understood what service was and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. 30 March 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Holidayron Yummy breakfast Very pleasant stay , thanks. I would stay there if i go to Sing again. 30 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by ttcyprus Unbelievable Staff The intercontinental is my preferred choice of hotel in Singapore. I normally stay for long periods with business but would highly recommend it for holiday makers and stopovers too. It's colonial decor and ambience give for a nice experience away from plastic and glitz you get at a lot of hotels. However it is the staff that make the stays here so pleasurable.....from the moment they take your luggage from you until the time you leave there is nothing but friendliness, helpfulness and an eagerness to please. From early morning to late evening, the breakfast room to the club lounge, a quiet drink in the Victoria bar or one of the restaurants everyone aims to please and the service is excellent. I would love to praise names personally but that would be unfair to everyone else such is the high standard given and the commitment to give unparalleled service. The hotel has a nice pool area and good gym to relax or work out at. It's ideally situated in the famous Bugis area of town with lots to see and do and plenty of restaurants and bars locally. 30 March 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Danny Mac Friendly staff As usual the staff at the Intercontinental were very friendly and always willing to help. Bit of a problem sound proofing between rooms but overall very good experience. 29 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Brjobrjo42 Excellent with great customer service After a shock that our booking was for the wrong day our error, we were quickly found a room, we had booked a reward night upgraded to a club room, unfortunately there was no reward nights available so we had to pay the full rate. However the stay was excellent the staff throughout the hotel are extremely friendly and professional . The room although not large was very comfortable with a huge bed soft large white towels, complimentary fruit and water. We enjoyed using the club room with afternoon tea, cocktail hour with delicious horses d'oeuvres Singapore slings , only complaint the seating is not very comfortable if you are there for any length of time. We used the facility after checking out until we needed to leave for the airport. The pool on the fourth floor is a wonderful haven with large pool towels and plenty of lounges. I was surprised however it was not accessable if you had any mobility problem.. 29 March 2014
Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Happy In Asia Fantastic location Have stayed at this property three times now. Love the location right next to the shopping mall. Staff are very attentive and new King shophouse rooms are lovely. Club lounge evening drinks and canapés a nice touch as is the breakfast in the lounge. Sure the selection may be limited than if you were to dine in the main restaurant but there is still plenty of choice and you are not queuing for anything. 28 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Dennis82 Great service and location Stayed for one night. Great service from check in front desk staff and location. Enjoy the stay and will return in the future. 27 March 2014
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Joshua7777 Good service but.. I booked two rooms this time. One room was assigned on 16th floor and other one was on 2nd floor. I appriciated room upgrade but bit far to move each other. I am satisfied a quality of service. Hotel staff and reception service was so good and kind. 26 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by slb52 Everything functions perfectly Our stay at the IC in Singapore was memorable because every aspect of our stay was handled smoothly and perfectly. From the check in after an overnight flight, to the quality of the room, to the services (breakfast, laundry, WiFi, the pool and the lounges and bar), to the final wake up call and taxi waiting for us 4:30 am. We were consistently greeted by name and all staff were completely dedicated to doing a great job. And they did! Thank you for a wonderful visit to Singapore. 26 March 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Cazzaanne The best 5 days From the moment our taxi drove into the entrance to the Intercontinental we were made feel very special. The staff at check-in greeted us with a warm genuine smile and they were so helpful, especially Jess. This is my 5th stay at Intercontinental Singapore and each time I have been made very welcome and comfortable. Thank you for another wonderful holiday. 26 March 2014

When children from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Erie go trick-or-treating this Halloween, they'll be handing candy back.
It's not because the kids won't like what they'll get. Rather, it's that they want to help others, especially children forced into labor on cocoa farms.
"We want to try to be global citizens," religious education Director Ginny Sabol said. "We're trying to teach our little ones to give back."
Her congregation's youth are taking part in reverse trick-or-treating. When they go to a house and receive Halloween candy, reverse trick-or-treaters give the person at the door a small fair-trade chocolate bar with a card.
The cards have information about problems in the cocoa industry, including poverty and exploitative working conditions, and how buying fair-trade chocolate can provide solutions.
The nationwide campaign was organized by a coalition that includes the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and Equal Exchange, a worker-owned fair-trade company. Equal Exchange purchases cocoa and chocolate according to fair-trade standards, which means low-income farmers earn a fair price for their products.
Sabol said money spent on fair-trade chocolate benefits communities in cocoa-growing parts of the world by helping to provide schools, clean water and environmentally friendly farming techniques.
She ordered 20 pieces of the chocolate for about a half-dozen children to hand out. Sabol said their social responsibility project is small-scale, but she still hopes it can raise awareness.
"You change the world little by little," she said.
The junior high school students in her religious education program have already written letters to Hershey's and Mars, encouraging those candy makers to use at least some fair-trade chocolate, Sabol said.
Children from Erie's Unitarian Universalist Congregation also will be seeking donations for UNICEF this Halloween, she said.
DANA MASSING can be reached at 870-1729 or by e-mail.

Strong winds continued blowing over the Middle East in early October, 2013. On October 3 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite captured a true-color image of a broad band of dust stretching over the southwest portion of the Caspian Sea.
In this image, the veil of tan dust which hovers over the blue-green water is rippled, suggesting that the dust is rising and falling with turbulent waves of air over the Caspian Sea. The dust storm appears to originate in the west, as the sky over Azerbaijan also is streaked with tan. In contrast the skies over Iraq (south) and Turkmenistan (northeast) are clear.

Sky's the limit
Heard about cloud computing? Kipp hears it's the latest thing to change the way your office operates. Here's an excerpt from a Q&A session with Richard Snow, VP and Research Director for Ventana Research and Joe Staples, CMO for Interactive Intelligence, talking about how that will happen exactly
April 11, 2011 12:32 by shafeer
(question cont'd)
Joe: "Customers still have a little bit of trepidation around security. That's the thing customers brought up the most as a concern to migrating communications to the cloud. But there are some distinct ways of mitigating any kind of security risks. For example, at Interactive Intelligence, we provide an option to allow all of the voice recordings and the actual voice traffic to remain inside the customer's network, inside that customer's firewall. We also provide every customer an isolated environment where their software is running on a virtual machine."
Q: What percentage of the overall contact center market do you think will make the shift to the cloud in the next five years?
Richard: "I think over the next five years we're going to see an increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions for the contact center, including communications. The adoption of Voice over IP (VoIP) was down in the single figures, but over the last seven years, I've seen that figure go to the 60s and 70s. It's almost becoming the de facto choice and was largely driven by the same three things: cost, fewer resources and it enabled people to innovate. I anticipate a similar trend in this market place. Today people still prefer on-premise solutions, but over the next several years we are going to see this go from single figure adoption to 50-60 percent adoption rates."

Justin Bieber Collapses in London, Rushed to Hospitalby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Justin Bieber has been rushed to a hospital in London.
The singer reportedly collapsed on stage tonight during a show in O2 Arena, as witnesses took to Twitter immediately upon the incident and said Bieber passed out in the middle of a performance.
"He got oxygen from emergency personnel," a rep tells E! News. "He insisted on finishing the show. He is on the way to the hospital right now."
Following the collapse, Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, apparently came out and told attendees that the 19-year-old had been feeling "very low of breath" throughout the concert and was backstage with EMTs.
On two occasions in the past month, Bieber was spotted around town in a gas mask.
He was mocked mercilessly for it, but might that have portended some kind of actual illness?
We'll update this story as news breaks, but send in your prayers for Bieber now!
Hope you get well soon !!!
get well soon lil homie!
Sadly, I see another Lindsey Lohan in the horizon. What a shame....
This isn't good. He is a young man and need time to rest and then come back and make an album for his fans. I am not a fan but I do hate the cruel comments.
I've never heard so many cruel comments. He is only 19 years old, give him a break. Needs to take a little time off and get some R & R.
I agree. People could be so cruel.
HEY !!! ENGLISH FAGS : KEEP HIM THERE !!! HE'S JUST LIKE YOU ... +HOeMO AND MIXED RACE WORTHLESS SAD BAGS .
Do you really pork monkey's?????
This latest 'collapse' adds more proof that he is horribly addicted to drugs! No way should a 'healthy' nineteen year old 'collapse' as much as he does.
what a jerkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk laying there like a skinny runt. he is just sooooooooooooooooo not sexy. and with his pants hanging down. what an a-hole.
smh, your comment is so cruel! I am not even a fan and your comment just represents how cruel you can be to a young man. Shame on you!
smh, your comment is so cruel! I am not even a fan and your comment just represents how cruel you can be to a young man. Shame on you!

The Last Fight
When Abe Simon stepped into the ring at Madison Square Garden on March 27, 1942, it would be his last fight. He had been recently married, and promised his wife that he would stop fighting. One year earlier he had fought Joe Louis the first time, and endured a tremendous beating for thirteen rounds. Fighting since 1935, ranked 6th by Ring Magazine, a shot at the title was something a fighter cannot pass up. Many fight historians consider Louis the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. Because of the publicity Simon gained from these Louis fights, he was offered a lucrative cross country boxing tour, which he declined. It was also Louis's last title defense for four years, until fighting Billy Conn in June of 1946. After the Simon fight he joined the U.S. Army, where he would fight 96 exhibition bouts at bases throughout the country. Shown above, Simon got knocked out in the sixth round.

Describe Ubik here? Why, all you need to know is that you want it!But if you really must know, it's a seminal science fiction novel by Philip K Dick, picked by Time Magazine as one of their Top 100 books of the last century. In the future, the proliferation of psychic talents has led, through the process of natural selection, to anti-psychics who can nullify psychic powers. Glen Runciter runs the foremost "prudence organization" in the world, sending his operatives out to protect his clients' secrets, while occasionally consulting his wife and partner in the firm, who just so happens to be a Human Popsicle frozen at the moment of her death in "cold-pac". This allows him to occasionally consult with her before her half-life ends, whereupon she will begin reincarnating (hey, it was the mid-60s; the Bardo Thodol was all the rage back then).Meet Joe Chip, our protagonist: a technician working for Runciter who's so perpetually broke he has to argue with his (coin-operated) artificially intelligent appliances to get them to work. When one of Runciter's talent scouts comes to him with a Mysterious Waif named Pat Conley, he finds has what may be the most powerful anti-psychic talent the world has ever seen. She can rewrite the past itself to counteract precognitive predictions. Chip hardly has time to process this before Runciter whisks the two of them and a handful of others away to the moon for a lucrative operation against his rival, Ray Hollis, head of a psychic spy firm. But the operation quickly sours when an explosion grievously wounds Runciter. The team heads back to Earth, desperate to save their boss by putting him into cold-pac.However, as the team licks their wounds and wonders what to do next, strange shifts in reality start to happen, seemingly connected to Pat Conley and her "talents". Objects and places regress to chronologically-earlier versions of themselves. Mysterious commercials from Runciter appear on the television that are timed specifically for when Joe is present. Anyone who wanders away from the group is found withered and dessicated, as if consumed by the force of entropy itself. But despite the world unraveling around them, there is still one constant in the chaos: the mysterious product called 'Ubik' that keeps appearing everywhere in time and space, carrying with it a dire warning: "Use only as directed".And believe it or not, from there on out things get weirder....The novel was adapted into a PC and PlayStation game by Cryo in 1998.

When I first started taking hip-hop seriously in the summer of '03, almost every album went platinum, sports jerseys were the fasion trend du jour, and Ja Rule was arguably the most popular MC in the game. Sometimes, such change is good—other times, as Borat would say, "not so much". On the newest buzz single off his debut album, , Izza Kizza reflects on a few changes of the latter type, listing gay marriage, high gas prices, and the swine flu as a few signs of the times that have him Runnin'. Ethered-MC-turned-successful-producer Kwame backs the track with chopped samples from Otis Redding's classic rendition of Change Gonna Come, letting the soul giant talk to 'em in lieu of a third verse. We can only hope this track will have label execs at Decon Runnin' to give Izza some much-needed promotion for the February 10 release of his Saturday Morning LP.

Um.. I've never really seen a Cryptic april fools thing going. Yes they do it at Blzzard, and several other companies have done it (bliz does it really really really well.. I'm allready wondering what chuckle we're going to get this year out of 'em.)
For Champions Online I could see such a thing, but not for STO... just wouldn't fit real well, and doesn't fit the development studio real well either.
As for the March bit...possibly a rather clever pun, but not likely intended as such.. serindipidous accidents do happen though *grin*
I will say the OP's imagination is possibly as vivid as my own though.
(not being egocentric.. "I" would obviously know my own sense of humor and imagination best after all!)
Release 8.5 "STO The Next Generation"
Let the happy old bug stomping commence, along with refinement toward enhancing each factions play experience!

Jaymes Wolff - Casino
Artist: Jaymes Wolff
Producer: Jaymes Wolff
Album: Hearts x Pistols
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 5 votes )
My only experience to date at a casino ended very well. Despite never seriously playing poker, I actually won some coin playing Texas Hold 'Em, and I managed not to lose it all later when I stepped up to the blackjack table. My second experience with a Casino comes courtesy of Jaymes Wolff, whose latest single has provided me with a just-as-enjoyable moment. Knowing his own sound best, Wolff mans his own boards, crafting a soft-spoken, piano reliant instrumental, which adds a mysterious vibe to the song while still complimenting Wolff's stellar vocal performance. Jaymes captivates with his fluttering, versatile vocals as he shares his thoughts on the perils of being a rising star, including not being able to tell if people (mainly the ladies) are genuine or just after his fame and fortune. If you find Casino to be a winner, I am willing to bet it all that you will also enjoy Heart x Pistols EP, available for free via his website.
Update: Click "Watch Video" above or scroll down (for mobile) to view Jaymes Wolff's Chop N Shoot Films-directed Casino visual.

34 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 26-37 within 10 miles
Hey, you.
I'm on the hunt for someone who enjoys the three "Ss" - Star Wars, sarcasm and sbeer. It would be good to find someone with the similar interests, but I've been in relationships where the other person had different interests, and it can be kind of fun to be exposed to new things. As long as it's not arugula. Or raw onions. I enjoy trivia and I think I'm pretty good at it, but I don't know any Harry Potter trivia. So, if that's your area of expertise, fax me your résumé. I like forward women, because it makes this whole thing a lot easier. If you're interested in someone, just talk to them. No need to play the whole "I'll view his profile and let him message me if he's interested" game. And for the love of zod, do not wink at me. It's just weird. Also, it means I know you didn't read my profile. On that note - I know messaging can be pretty hard, and sometimes you just can't come up with anything clever. If you can't think of anything to say, then just tell me what you had for dinner. To sum things up: Likes: peaches, whiskEy, IPAs, Star Wars, saying "Hell A," late nights, cooked onions. Dislikes: pears, whisky, dark beers, Star Wars prequels, saying "SoCal or NorCal," early mornings, raw onions.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Dogs
crazy cat ladies also welcome
Max Karaoke, Target, Las Vegas, The Garage, Chinatown Manhattan
University of California, Davis, Davis, CA
Movies - Fletch, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Dumb and Dumber, Can't Buy Me Love TV - Saved by the Bell, Psych Music - Weezer, Foo Fighters, Queen Food - Cadbury mini eggs Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
I watch a lot of movies I've already seen seven times, play trivia board games, go to karaoke, play guitar, play basketball.

Uzbek environmental movement opposes Tajik power plant
Tajik President Emomali Rahmon inspects the construction of Rogun; photo: president.tj
The movement complained to Speaker Jerzy Buzek about Struan Stevenson, who it believes made "controversial" statements in favour of the Rogun project.
Uzbek historian suspected of distributing extremist materials 06.11.14
Uzbek border officials check files on laptops and smart phones 31.10.14
Uzbek police: The regime's dogs or victims of the system? 29.10.14
International conference in Urgench searching for solutions to Aral Sea disaster 29.10.14
Imprisoned human rights activist Bobomurod Razzakov in hospital 28.10.14
Tojiboj-ugli: "It is difficult to become a presidential candidate" 22.10.14
Environmentalists claim that the ill-considered Soviet-era policy to control the natural flow of Central Asia's Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers by building gigantic hydroelectric plants in the 1970-80s is the reason for the drying up of the Aral Sea.
The movement said people living in the Aral Sea region were worried about the construction of the Rogun plant because this project would sharply reduce the supply of drinking water from the Amu Darya, affecting 18 million people living along the river.
The movement also warned the European Parliament that the plant is to be built in an area of significant seismic activity, where strong earthquakes may fracture the dam, resulting in "12 billion cubic meters of water inflicting irreparable damage to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan".
The Rogun project regularly causes diplomatic tension between Tashkent and Dushanbe. Moscow-based diplomats from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan became engaged in a war of words on this subject only a week ago.
Tajik diplomats were first to publish an article accusing Uzbekistan of creating obstacles to the construction of the power plant. Uzbek diplomats responded, with arguments similar to those the Environmental Movement of Uzbekistan has made to the European Parliament.
The Environmental Movement of Uzbekistan, set up in August 2008, is the country's only officially registered environmental organisation which has never issued a statement on the destruction of parks and the uprooting of old trees in Tashkent.

Hanley Wood Sustainability Council Members Mary Ann Lazarus and Doug Bennett chat about the need to break down silos and change the way we think about our professional roles in order to create win-win teams and projects.
J-O-B-S aside, architects have a central role to play in our economy.
Designing for health is different from healthcare design. The AIA, with a guest appearance by the Acting U.S. Surgeon General, examines why all building professionals should also consider themselves to be public health workers.
The American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment names the top green buildings of the year.
While a new law does not ban the green building rating system, the Palmetto State pushes back on LEED's material disclosure credits.
From passive and resilient design strategies to interactive, high-performance facades, each of the 10 residential projects honored in the 2014 AIA Housing Awards tout high-performance features.
Architecture and energy efficiency organizations weigh in on the latest version of the Shaheen-Portman bill, which could become the first piece of significant energy legislation passed by Congress in seven years.
Mary Ann Lazarus talks about the new skills and education architects need going forward.
The AIA has announced its 2014 Honor Awards, and we've highlight a few of the sustainable strategies that should catch your eye.
More than a half century after her death, Morgan becomes the first woman architect to win the honor. Karrie Jacobs reports on the historic announcement.
