I kind of feel like the upside is actually with Tate. If Foster gets hurt, Tate is a top 10-15 RB in that offense. That's upside. Plus, with Tate likely leaving after the season, the Texans might run him more than usual later this season. I think I keep Tate.
Thanks for mine.

I like Tate in this case. I actually like your RB group and feel you can afford to take a wait and see approach with Tate. Not to mention, Tate's numbers have been absolutely studly given his few chances and the Texans have to have taken notice. I don't think Foster is a durable back and have a feeling Tate will take the starting job sometime this year. As for Mathews, he'll just bring you regret for trading Tate for him down the road.

KILLEEN (February 28, 2013)—An investigator has developed new leads in the abduction and murder of Killeen schoolgirl Danydia Thompson, 7, police said Thursday.
"Killeen Police Detective Fred Harris has received information regarding this 1997 murder," police said in a brief news release Thursday afternoon.
No further details were provided.
Thompson was abducted on April 30, 1997 from Marlboro Heights Elementary School in Killeen.
Her body was found several days later along Highway 195 near the Lampasas River.
She was last seen with a black man with a short Afro and a thick mustache who weighed about 150 pounds was about 5-foot-10.
"Homicides that occur in the past are not closed and forgotten," police said.
Harris is asking anyone with information about Thompson's murder to call Bell County Crime Stoppers at (254) 526-8477.
Tips may also be submitted online.

Someday either you, or your children, or their children will cry out from your chains. It won't be a government force that relieves your suffering but instead it will likely be a southern, white, middle aged male who understood, through the traditions of his family and the history of this once great nation, where all of this was heading. Sure there will be other races of people involved, but it seems the 'brown'people, as you put it, are falling for the lies of progressivism. The mean to rule over you, not rule for you.
Crack open a historical work, you son do not understand history.

Do you seriously lack even a minutia of ability at reading within context?
He was describing the Democrat leadership. Was it Gore himself? Perhaps, but I disagree with blaming just the leadership of the party. I think it is individuals acting alone to disrupt the electoral process. Many of the 'judges' and counters of ballots lean democratic or are outright progressives and as such they have no moral code other than "whatever serves me best." They fail to realize others deciding what serves them best is exactly what they are gonna get but that is for another time perhaps.
Stop misquoting and placing meaning where it wasn't implied. It makes your argument weak, and you appear less than intelligent.

I, for one, think this is great news. It seems to be telling that perhaps we are not the morally corrupt nation many of us think we are. Who wants to be responsible for the death of thousands over a 6 year period? I hope we can get rid of it after 2014 though I doubt it. It will become entrenched like SS and Medicare, but much faster than either of those programs did. This will be untouchable politically after 2014.
Though when we finally have no one to lend us money I suppose it will die then the fight for what kind of nation emerges begins.

You do of course realize the hymnals of traditional churches was music common at the time. Much of the music was borrowed from the common music in taverns. The music of the time of David is what he used to praise the Lord. It isn't the style of music that is important it is the purpose of the music. If the purpose is to praise the Lord then it is praising the Lord.
I would use scripture to back me up but you seem to not care what scripture says only what you can make it say.

I wholeheartedly agree with you and I am also not an old man.

Sheep, The Iraqi people as a majority rejoiced at our presence. It was a very tiny minority of Iraqis and a large number of foreigners who were fighting in Iraq, though how would you know. You were sitting at home probably sucking down twinkies and mountain dew in your mothers basement reading your conspiracy theory websites, while better men than yourself freed a people they could have justifiably cared nothing for.
Agree or disagree with the pretext for the war. The US military is still full of people, and I know guys who put their lives on the line and gave up their own possessions to the children in Iraq, by day. And protected them from those wishing to do them harm in the name of their religion, for simply talking with us.

If all we are is the result of an evolutionary process and therefore nature is intending to make us better and better, then who is to say my mind that believes in God is less evolved than a mind who buys evolutionary theory.
Now the problems with evolution(Not a comprehensive list just a few)
Genetic entropy. You can't, with the current rate of entropy, have many species being more than a few thousand perhaps 10s of thousands of years old.
Radiation halos, make it difficult to accept the billions of years theory of the universe
More recently you have the lost squadron from WWII found where they crashed but under 100s of feet of ice, where according to the evolutionary geological data they should have only been covered in a few mm's to inches at most.
Saturn's Rings as observed by the Cassini space probe have blown an old solar system theory to bits. But rather than take it and look at their model. They are merely trying to explain away how the rings must have formed later…and they are leaving it at that, without much explanation.
And finally science itself isn't about what you believe but what you can observe. Evolution vs Creation has little bearing on the applicable sciences which is where we get modern technology from. They are instead 'historical sciences' in that their theories cannot be observed through experimentation. And starting from a presupposition is the only way we get anywhere with what we observe as to how it relates to the age

Actually your right it isn't accurate out to about 8000years…It can't even accurately date the Mount St. Helens eruption…the results of those tests were all over the board. and it was done specifically to show the accuracy of the carbon dating method. the problem with all of our dating methods is that they follow a uniformitarian approach assuming all things that happen in the natural world would happen at the same rate throughout the life of the universe.
Look at the rate of salt entering the ocean for one…To reach the level of salinity that the oceans currently have, following a uniformitarian viewpoint could not be longer than 62million years. That accounts for the amount that is removed through natural functions as well. That is just one of thousands of examples of uniformitarians getting it wrong.
The answer to how old our universe is, is still hotly debated even among evolutionists…They themselves say their models are not accurate and cannot provide for some things in the fossil record as well as the geological strata. So how about you pick up a book not titled "Modern Science" or "Scientific American" and get to reading from other scientitsts who may not be getting the face time that the mainstream of science does. Scientists have agendas and the organizations of them even more so.
To clarify, I think the jury is still out. It is intellectually dishonest to assume the current answers are The Answers.

No they want acceptance by society because they know that the way they live their life is wrong and one of the worst kinds of wrong. And they think if society accepts them as equal, which we have for some time, that the feeling of wrong will go away. But it will not no matter how many "rights" they are given.
I argued once with someone as to whether they were born that way. I have decided they are born that way just as I was born into the sins that tempt me and many others have the sins that tempt them. There is no glory in falling to your temptations, but instead in rising above them and overcoming your temptations. I hold no ill will towards those who are homosexual, but when you seek acceptance for your sinful living, I am sorry I will not provide you with that nor do I think that society should.

You're wrong. Nowhere in the Constitution is there a provision that gives power to the federal government to interject itself into the personal lives of it's citizens. So, either affirming or denying gay marriage the federal government would be outside of it's powers as enumerated in the constitution. Also, if you have read any of the writings of the founding fathers you would clearly see that, though they did not envision a moral and virtuous people contending with the issue of gay marriage, they did write much about the federal government's involvement in the personal lives of it's citizens.
As, marriage would be a personal contract, the founders have clearly written along these lines that personal contracts should remain between persons and not be put into the strata of governmental authority. In other words let the states handle that.

The article says "The dog — described as a small terrier mix similar to "Toto" in "The Wizard of Oz" — had had a crate attached to the bike, police said."
Thereby, implying that the dog had either contracted the work out, or somehow coerced the owner, to install the crate onto the bike. I think he used the threat of force or perhaps used force itself to get this work done, and why wouldn't he stay with the bike he had a lot invested in that crate thing.
All joking aside, dogs are awesome like that sometimes, just not my dogs…mine would probably destroy the evidence and find alcohol bottles to make it look like it was my fault.

Investors in Och-Ziff Capital Management's flagship hedge fund can rejoice: The fund has nearly recouped its losses from last year.
The OZ Master Fund returned 1.42% last month, leaving it up 17.06% through the first eight months of the year. That's just fractions of a percentage point from returning to its high-water mark after losing 15.9% last year.
That's certainly good news for the $21.7 billion New York hedge fund, and even better news for its investors. That's because Och-Ziff's policy is to reimpose performance fees a year after suffering annual losses, whether or not those losses have been made up. At this rate, OZ Master may begin charging incentive fees before the year is out.
Investors in Och-Ziff's other hedge funds are not so lucky. Its OZ Asia Master Fund is up a strong 24.23% through August, but lost 30.9% last year. The firm's Europe fund is up just 11.78% this year after dropping 17.4% last year, and its OZ Global Special Investments Master Fund has returned only 5.59% after losing 8.3% in 2008.
Still, investors seem buoyed by the firm's performance: Och-Ziff said its assets under management rose $200 million in August, both through strong returns and new inflows.

Award-winning actor Robert De Niro appeared in a rare interview with CBS THIS MORNING's Lee Cowan to discuss his current film 'Silver Lining Playbook. "I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will," he shares. "I'm lucky I have the drive to do the work. But you're always lucky." Check out the interview in full below!
De Niro portrays Pat Solitano, Sr., an obsessive-compulsive, die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, who struggles to deal with his even more obsessive and mentally-unstable son. His performance has earned him his seventh Oscar nomination and his first in 21 years.
DeNiro's career took off with his portrayal of Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His critically acclaimed, longtime collaborations with director Martin Scorsese began with 1973's Mean Streets, and earned De Niro an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Jake LaMotta in the 1980 film Raging Bull.
He was also nominated for an Academy Award for his roles in Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) and Cape Fear (1991). In addition, he received nominations for his acting in Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter (1978) and Penny Marshall's Awakenings (1990). In 1990, his portrayal as Jimmy Conway in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas earned him a BAFTA nomination.
De Niro has earned four nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, for his work in New York, New York (1977), Midnight Run (1988), Analyze This (1999), and Meet the Parents (2000). He has also directed films such as A Bronx Tale (1993) and The Good Shepherd (2006). De Niro has received accolades for his career, including the AFI Life Achievement Award and the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award.

Bellmont coach Larry Patterson decided he'd seen enough after the first half of the Braves game against Northeast Hoosier Conference foe DeKalb Thursday night at the Teepee.
After all, the Braves started the game with a 9-0 hole and then after battling back somewhat, the Braves were AWOL in the second period going 0-8 from the field, hitting just two free throws while DeKalb tallied 12 points and led 30-15 at half.
"The team's going on, so now it's a matter getting as many individual tickets as we can this weekend. The kids have to refocus and get ready with just two days of practice," stated Bellmont coach Brent Faurote Thursday night as his squad tries to put behind it the incredible performance in whipping No. 5 Yorktown and No. 8 Carroll at the AC Team Regional Wednesday.

If your electronic Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool ( some Kenmore ) dishwasher is totally dead, check the main power entering the d/w for 110-120 volts AC. The door switch(s) are another common trouble maker for a dead d/w. Many of these newer electronic d/w's have a TCO thermal fuse built into them. The thermal fuse kit comes with wires and connectors, it is important to replace them with the new thermal fuse!
So far I have had to change a couple of different version of these.
Parts help for some common thermal fuses is linked here.
~ Disconnect power
~ Remove consol and inner door
~ Locate board and fuse. The fuse is located in the upper left hand corner of the board assembly. The two tan wires from the fuse are connected to the door switch and to terminal P8 on connector CON2.
~ Unplug the tan wire from the door switch. Unlock the other tan wire from connector CON2 by first unplugging the molex housing from the board, and then unlocking the terminal from the housing with a paper clip.
~ Cut tan wire which leads from TCO to door switch
~ Remove the old fuse4 from the board assembly
~ Remove tape holding tan and black wires to door switch. Discard tan wire by pulling from harness.
~ Install the new fuse with the new tan wires attached. Plug the left wire terminal P8 onto the molex housing, and plug the housing into CON2 on the control board. Plug the right wire into the door switch.
~ Use a wire tie to connect the tan wires to the main harness. Make sure you strap the entire bundle together.
~ Reassemble
~ Reconnect power
~ Test operation. The control will/should resume from the point when the fuse failed.
- Disconnect power to the dishwasher.
- Open the door and remove the 6 screws securing the control consol t othe inner door and carefully fold the control forward and down.
- Lift and cut the 2 existing harness wires going to the TCO ( about one inch back from the terminals ) See Figure 1.
- Remove the defective TCO from the control housing, using a flat blade screwdriver to lift the snap.
- Using wire strippers ( set for 16 gauge wire ), strip the 2 cut harness wires on the existing wiring harness approximately 1/4" each and tightly twist the wire strands on the end of each wire.
- Insert each stripped wire, one at a time, into the terminals block on the end of the new TCO kit wiring assembly and tighten the screws securely. Tighten the screws using a small flat blade screwdriver. See Figure 2.
- Clip the new cut off ( TCO ) that part of the kit onto the d/w control housing. See Figure 3 to confirm proper orientation of the mylar shield on the TCO.
- Using mini zip ties provided, secure wiring together and away from electrical components. See Figure 4.
- Fold control panel back into position and reinstall the screws.
- reconnect power and test.

I recently decided to develop my own recipe without much study. As you may guess I got a different beer than my target. Here is my recipe:
7# Dark LME
4 oz. Chocolate Malt
8 oz. Caramel 60
12 oz. Caramel 120
1/2 oz. Cascade @ 30 min.
1/2 oz. Chinook @ 20 min.
1/2 oz. Cascade @ 10 min.
1/2 oz. Chinook @ 5 min.
1 pkg. Wyeast Northwest Ale yeast 1332
Brewbuilder predicted SRM 31.
I derived this recipe from an Amber I like. I changed from 6# golden light DME to 7# dark LME and added the 4 oz. chocolate malt. I kept the hops schedule, caramel malta, and the yeast from the Amber Ale recipe.
I thought I was going to get a Brown Ale. I think it is more of a porter.
My simple taste notes are after 5 weeks in bottle:
Very malty. Sweet. Coffee notes.
Very little to No hops flavor. Fusel after taste when warming up.
Medium head.
Tan to brown head.
Color: basically black. Held to very bright light can see very small brown section in the last 1/4th inch of glass.
Bottom line this beer is good. I like the coffee flavor. But, it is too heavy for summer. I am drinking it slowly.
So, with all that description, what beer style would you say I have? I want to sound like I know what I am doing to my friends
Right now I am calling it "Stumbling Porter", since at best I stumbled in to it.
Thanks for your help.
Just made an imperial stout with roughly double those amounts. 9# amber lme plus more dark crystal and roasted barley. I say ( 1 month brewing behind me) it's a stout.
Sound like a stout to me! Amber extract really darkens a beer and makes it heavier. Sounds good too!!! For my amber ales, I stick with light extracts and get the color and some toasty flavors from specialty grains. A teeny bit of chocolate along with some caramel will add a nice amber color to light or extra light extract.
Sounds like a robust porter to me
(and a tasty one)
This is fun!
Whattya think this'll end up being?:
.8# British caramel 50/60L
.25# aromatic
.05# British chocolate malt
3# light dme
3# extra light dme
.7 oz challenger pellet 7%aa @ FWH
.75oz challenger @ 15
.75oz EKG 5%aa @ 15
.75oz challenger @ 2
.75oz EKG @ 2
Wy 1332 starter
Looks like a hoppy porter.

A man has admitted assaulting his girlfriend in the maternity ward of a suburban Philadelphia hospital during an argument over what to name their newborn baby.
Twenty-three-year-old Richard Lavon Davis Jr. of Philadelphia pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault in connection with the January 2012 incident at Lankenau Hospital in Lower Merion.
Montgomery County Judge Joseph Smyth sentenced Davis to eight to 23 months in the county jail and ordered him to complete a domestic violence counseling program.
Assistant District Attorney Wallis Brooks says it's outrageous that a new father would push and punch a defenseless woman recovering from childbirth over the name of their baby.
Defense lawyer Gregory Nester says his client is remorseful.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
What else can be said about this hotel that has not already been said! This hotel would have to be one of the best we have ever stayed in. We arrived via taxi from the station and were immediately shown to our room, on the third floor with a French balcony as I had requested by email. The room was not huge, but considerably larger than the one we had had in Paris. There was a large, very comfortable, bed, a large desk, a wardrobe, and easy chair and double glazed French doors to the French balcony overlooking the Herengracht canal. There was a small, but extremely functional bathroom with a great shower.
The best part of Banks Mansion is the wonderful staff. They are just so incredibly helpful with any request, no matter no large or small. We also loved the all inclusive factor. Everything in the mini bar is complimentary, although I think we only had a bottle of water on one occasion, and there are also decanters of whisky, gin and cognac in the room. The bar setup downstairs in the lobby, known as "The Living" is fantastic. It is available at all times, but we really only went in the evenings when from 5pm to 8pm there are wines and cheeses available. It is just so relaxing to help yourself to a glass of wine and some Dutch cheese or salami and to have a chat to other tourists from countries all around the world.
Each evening after dinner, we could help ourselves to an espresso coffee and a Baileys Irish Cream and either have them in The Living or take them back upstairs. It was absolutely wonderful and so nice to not have to worry about the room bill at the end of the stay.
Breakfast is also included as part of the all inclusive policy and cannot be faulted. There is a large range of cold meats, cheeses, breads and pastries as well as cereals, juices and fresh fruits. As well as that there is an incredibly efficient egg chef who cooks eggs, pancakes or French toast to order, together with bacon and sausages. There is another automatic espresso machine for delicious coffee.
DVDs are available at no charge from reception, wifi is fantastic and also included, and there are even a few Ipads in the living if you can't be bothered bringing your own or your laptop down with you.
If we ever go back to Amsterdam, we would not consider staying anywhere else. It is truly excellent.

Historical Traveler Reviews Banks Mansion Amsterdam
A real find in Amsterdam
The Banks Mansion is a very discreet hotel tucked away from the bizz of Amsterdam yet located very conveniently within the heart of the city. The staff are very friendly and professional and the service that the hotel offers with, complimentary drinks offered in the room rate as well as breakfast in addition to steam rooms combined in the shower cubicles make it somewhere truly different to stay provided of course, that people do not take too much advantage if the complimentary drinks.
The Banks Mansion Hotel and its staff have contributed to an excellent stay in Amsterdam and have inspired us to make a promise to return to this exciting and different city.
Cannot recommend enough!
Arriving outside the hotel, i knew i had made an excellent choice! Reception was warm & cosy with free drinks & snacks all day. The staff were really helpful & friendly, couldn't do enough for you. Onto the room: huge double bed, which believe it or not was too comfortable for me- could have stayed they all day!! Free mini bar in room, tv & dvd player. Bathroom was tastefully decorated in crisp black & white tiles with a shower cubicle, which had a large rain showerhead. Maid service every day while i was there.
Breakfast time has a wide variety of warm and cold dishes, which included freshly cooked pancakes, omlettes, bacon & sausages. Cereal & fruit are also provided if you want to watch you waistline while your there!
The location was great, just down the road from the famous floating flower market, & for the price we paid, this was, by far the best hotel i have ever stayed in.
Great hotel, great location, shame about the bedroom furniture!
What a great place. Staff very friendly and helpful. The complimentary bar was even more fantastic. The design of the hotel makes it very individual, art deco meets the 1960's. The room and stair carpets are, well, very interesting, amazing! Go see for yourself!
The room furnishings, although again in the style of the designer, was made in plastic veneer, yuk. What a shame. It spoilt the overall look of the place. Don't let it put you off though. You will enjoy Amsterdam and your stay at Banks Mansion. We did!
Best kept secret
Stayed here for 4 nights at end of August, 2004. The newly remodeled Banks Mansion is perhaps one of the most chic hotels in Amsterdam. I haved stayed here previously (4-5 times across the years) when it was known as the Canal Crown. This remodeled hotel is sooooo different, you wouldn't think you were staying in the same hotel. You'll find the new rooms quite stunning ... very classy .... FRank Lloyd Wright inspired ... nice decor, spacious, beautiful canal view, excellent a/c .. with in-room extras such as flat panel TV, free movies, DVD player .. FREE in room drinks (includ. gin, brandy, whisky, beer) ... luxurious modern bathroom with great shower ... breakfast offers quite a variety, including freshly made omlettes ... and the lobby area with coffee maker, drinks, snacks, and internet access .. all inclusive ... made my stay quite a wonderful experience. Staff is friendly. Location excellent ... quiet, yet near everything .. and price was excellent, although I can't see it staying like this ... have stayed at many other superior class hotels in Amsterdam, but the Banks Mansion sets itself apart from the others. Can't say enough good things about it.
Wonderful hotel with charm and freebies
Stayed here in Sept. 2004. Excellent location, five minutes from everything, on a canal, just slightly removed from the tourist hubbub. The service is beyond reproach. They couldn't do enough to make your stay pleaseant. The breakfast was excellent, with many choices, hot cooked egg dishes to order, breads, etc. The hotel prides itself on being different, by offering gratis a lobby bar stocked with hot and cold drinks, alcoholic drinks, beers, wines, nibbles, and in the room, the in room bar is free as well, and there is a lovely set of decanters full with gin, scotch and cognac. The internet is free in the lobby and there are two terminals that are usually available and in perfect working order. The lobby area is very nice. There is one elevator to the floors, and the rooms are tastefully decorated, with very very comfy beds, a pillow menu, great bathroom with rain shower head, good service, great TV with lots of english choices, a CD player and DVD player if you have disks to play with you. I had a small balcony overlooking the canal and the a/c was used only occasionally, as the fresh breeze from outside was delightful. Highly recommended.
Great Hotel
Excellent hotel in a very convenient location. Free in room mini-bar and outstanding lobby bar stocked well with appetizers every day. Good breakfast in a pleasant setting. For just over 110 Euros, I can't imaging a better deal anywhere in Amsterdam. Don't believe most other reviews here...they are for the Canal Crown...Banks Mansion was only re-opened in April 2004.
Great find!!!
Stayed at the Banks Mansion in April 2004 - what a surprise! It was in the process of being re-furbished but although there was building work being carried out it was done so as not to disturb the guests at all. Lovely rooms and public areas. The free bar and the complimentary drinks in the room were a bonus we had not expected when we booked at a very reasonable cost. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Excellent hotel, I would definitely stay here if I go to Amsterdam again - if I could still afford it!!
Great hotel
Just got back from a weekend at this hotel, and after reading a few comments on here was a bit worried about going, but what can i say this hotel was great, great location, staff very frendly, rooms lovely, only really bad thing i can say, is about the breakfast, in which u had to make urself if u wanted it, but all in all had a really nice time, and would deffinatley stay at this hotel again
Too good to be true
I stayed here for one night last week and wished I could have stayed for a week! This newly renovated hotel is too good to be true, with free open bar, free internet availability, wonderful rooms and great location. I payed Euro 125 a night all inclusive and I know this price won't last for long. Run, don't walk...
Great New Hotel!
This is an amazing new hotel in Amsterdam! In the former location of the Canal Crown, the hotel was extensively renovated and just opened in April, 2004. It was beautifully designed, the service was excellent and all the small details were just right. At this point, it's still reasonably priced, but given the perks I wonder how long that will last. All drinks in the mini-bar and on the bedside table are complimentary as well as those at an extensive bar in the lobby that is stocked day and night. They also offer two free high speed internet terminals in the lobby. The breakfast was wonderful, even offering pancakes made on the spot as well as omelettes. In a town of overpriced underperforming hotels, this is a real stand out!

It's been a while since I blogged so I will try to condense all the things I have done since... Here it goes.
Let's see, two weeks ago was my friend Sonia's birthday so we celebrated her birthday at this bar called The Walkabout. It's an Australian bar that also has karaoke on Thursdays that we sometimes go to. It was really fun and all had a great time. I stayed in all weekend to try and conserve some of my money. My friends and ...

The idea is to listen to the first 2 then ask someone else when you get there and so on but it all adds to the experience and we wouldn't have missed it for anything. The tractors with loaded trailers on the motorways was a new experience too. But for now we are back ...
Amsterdam, an eclectic mix!
... and with the help of his four office staff, her father, Otto made a secret annexe at the top, and to the rear, of the old canal house where they lived above the business. The family then went into hiding along with another family, eight in total. The warehouse staff who worked below were never told. The families never left the rooms at the back of the house, the entrance to which was through a small door hidden behind a movable bookcase. ...

... course, they were in set amounts and the auctioneer set the minimum amount of bins you could buy and after your bid is set a buyer has 10 seconds to say how many bins he is going to take and it then continues until all the bins of that lot are sold. It was incredibly fast and without our tour guide I am quite sure none of us would have got how the system worked. From there we were driven to Gassens - Diamond cutters ...

... to be honest I don't think I could really see myself wearing them around the house :) We arrive at the hotel to check in and I have to say the hotel isn't as bad as I thought "the worst hotel in Amsterdam" would be. After check in we got ready to walk into the Dam Square for dinner....which consisted of KFC (very authentic Dutch food), followed by a sex show at a place also called the moulin rough. The show definitely shocked the audience as it advertised. Some of the people from ...

How many more airline fees can we fliers take? Just in time for the holidays, one of the only airlines to not charge for a first checked bag, announced that it is offering new classes of airfare – essentially eliminating the free checked bag with the discount airfare.
The airline – Jet Blue. Southwest now remains the only airline to not charge for the first checked bag.
The nation's largest 15 airlines made $3.35 billion on baggage fees last year- With those kind of numbers, Jet Blue is calculating it to be a smart business move. Gas prices are down, so the airlines are poised to make even more money.
So how can we beat the airlines at their own game and save money? Travel smart and know before you go.
1) First way to avoid baggage fees: Consider getting an airline-aligned credit card that allows free checked bags. Even though the cards usually come with annual fees, if you travel & check bags frequently, the card pays for itself in saved baggage fees. Plus – you can earn other perks like extra miles, & free passes to the upper class lounges. Not to mention – your travel partners reap benefits too.
Here are some cards and baggage bonuses I researched - but please double check before becoming a card holder!!
United Mileage Plus Explorer - First bag checked free, & one companion on the reservation also gets a bag checked for free. Upgrade to a United Club card & you & a companion get two bags checked for free.
Platinum Select American Airlines AAdvantage -first bag checked for free, plus FOUR people on the reservation get bags checked for free – big savings for a family.
Delta Gold Sky Miles - Not only do you get one bag checked for free, so do up to NINE people on your reservation. Sounds great, but… I don't really know anyone who books nine people on one reservation, but heck, if you do – that's a $450 savings round trip at $25 a checked bag.
2) Second way to avoid baggage fees: Mail your bags in advance with a carrier service like Fed-Ex or UPS. The farther you plan in advance, the cheaper it is. Depending on how heavy the bag is & where you go will determine how much you save, (or not.) BUT – it is more convenient, and the airlines won't lose your luggage.
3) Third way to avoid baggage fees: Pack light so you can fit everything in your carry on. Vacuum storage bags make everything compact & give you more room – I recommend them if you have a lot to pack with little room for it. Wear your bulky clothes on the plane, & put your toiletries in your personal purse/bag if possible, as long as liquid items are less than 3.4 ounces.
4) If you have to check bags & pay a fee, make sure you know the rules of the airline, & any weight limitations. You can buy a small scale so you can weigh your bags before you get to the airport – overweight bags get charged extra, so know before you go. Digital luggage scales can easily be found on Amazon.com.
Good luck!
