The system is hosted with booking wizards but this is a plus, my client was uncomfortable working in the admin area of Joomla and booking wizards interface is very clean and simple to use, after a quick run through with the client, about 10 minutes, they were up and running on their own, adding in their own price bands, price ranges and optional extras.
The system takes care of all the booking, taking payment through paypal or protex, either full payment or a nominated deposit, and as well as sending an email to the booking administrator it will send an sms text (included in the monthly fee) this is great for clients without email on their phone, again this is something the client set up themselves easily within the booking wizard admin screen.
It is definitely not a license to print money for the features offered and the support given, Some of the other booking systems available, yes you pay a one off fee but they will charge for an ongoing support subscription, booking wizards include this in the monthly fee, the monthly fee is payed for in advance and if you decide to drop a calendar or increase a couple you just adjust your subscription accordingly you are tied to nothing, also you can install this system for yourself with a free full functioning trial period.
We have placed 4 Calendars on the clients website the 1st Calendar is £6, second £4, third £2 and the fourth and every additional Calendar £1 so all the client is paying for the 4 calendars is £13 per month, this includes all support, integration help, text (SMS) messages, access to all the widgets and administration centre.
I cannot recommend this system enough, especially if this is for a client, as it will allow the developer to take care of all the Joomla side of the website leaving the client with a very simple to use administration area with great support.
Well done Chuck and thanks again for everything :-)
I installed the plugin, which didn't work, I tried to uninstall it but, it wouldn't delete the xml and php files and I also had to remove the database entry.
The support/FAQ page was virtually non-existent and there is no forum. Admittedly I did not email the developer but was so unimpressed with the product install and functionality that I couldn't be bothered.
There seems promise in the way the product should work but the developer needs to get to grips with explanations on how the product will work, what the pricing structure represents and how the plug-in links to his site and what support he intends to provide and guarantees of uptime.
My view is this is very expensive (£6 a month) and I might be inclined to use this if a] the product was fully committed to my own site, and b] the price was fixed as a one-off license.
Put my business in this persons hands? no way!
Misrepresentation of dialogue and truth always spoils the integrity of the reviewer, I shall do no more than post the unabridged email the reviewer did send to me with regards to the plugin and his successful installation of it.
If you can be bothered to read it.
Hi Les,
Thanks for your comments. I have tried to address these with comments in your email below:
best regards,
- Chuck
> Hi Chuck
> I have been evaluating your plug-in but I'm not happy with some of the concept behind it.
> Firstly, I want a system that I have control over - what is to stop you hiking the charges once the

All of the above can be applied to your business model, what are your guarantees?. I am only trying to provide a service at a competitive price and get rewarded appropriately. Like all businesses a certain level of trust is required.
What happens to your customer if your server goes down, or you go out of business? £6.00 is not a lot of money if the system saves a few administrative hours a month and also engages the new popular idiom of booking on-line. If people wish to move, they can download all their bookings using the CSV download facility and shut their account.
Also one calendar cannot function properly for a B&B, you would have to take out a calendar for each room. In the case of mill haven house, it would need 4 calendars at £13.00 per month for the 4.
> Now, operationally I would have thought your system would also add the price of each day rather
> than the user just having to input the total accumulative - it allows for a daily rate to be
> shown much simpler than what you have.
One daily rate is simpler, but more restrictive. If you do want this facility, I can easily create this for you.
However a 4 night stay can cost less than the accumulative, no bedsheets to change etc. The way the input is designed, there are rates for seasons and long stays etc. Very flexible and already being used by a few clients. I run this product for my own accommodation and this is the way it naturally turned out. One night stay is more expensive than a two nights stay. Stay for a week at the B&B and you can configure an automatic 10% discount.
Of course it is easy to cut and paste each accumulative price to emulate exactly what you need, so best of both worlds.
> The cost of a daily newspaper for example, set at £1 can only be £1, you have not set a
> time period, the same might be said of towels, which might be per week.... Most customers
> would want a daily paper throughout their stay so it needs to reflect a period rather than
> a set figure. A house might offer with and without breakfast and that needs to be daily too.
> The idea of a reduction for continental breakfast almost fits your table but, only if it can
> be set to daily etc., (I think you see where I am coming from on this).
You have not configured the above correctly, if you place a per in the value text or a % in the value, or a + or - , as per the config instructions, then it is adjusted accordingly, check out this demo to see what I mean.
http://www.bookingwizard.net/demo1.html Please excuse the French :-)
> There is no per person rate, most holiday lets will be per person or a price per let. We
> mainly have guest houses that are let on a room basis, with one or two occupants and that
> is reflected in the price per room. Single room occupancy might be £35 and two person
> occupancy might be £25 each.
The system has been designed for holiday let accommodation and not for a guest house. But again the extras/supplements above should be able to accommodate the above request very nicely (single person supplement?).
> I can see where you are coming from on the development side but, confess to not being happy
> with the lack of information on the site and it is definitely a minus with the rate you have
> set, I purchased hot property from mosets and was happy to do that, I have also purchased other
> products and am happy to do that any time if I can see the work going into supporting it and
> continued development with a feedback forum to compare issues with other users.
You only get what you are prepared to pay for. I am confident in this booking system and what it offers and it's cost effectiveness, ease of use, installation and flexibility.
What information would you like to see? What is missing?
> As it stands and whilst I like the product, it has no viability for me to introduce it to
> my customers where I have ZERO control over its use, cost or availability. - I think most
> site developers are going to feel the same way. That's okay if you intend to sell direct to
> holiday let owners, but generally their knowledge of joomla and web development tends to be
> limited.
The other developers who have sent me their comments on the product don't agree with what you have stated above. In fact one of the great assets is that they have no responsibility in the functionality of the system, therefore it is deferred to me.
Also I endeavour to help integration to those that need this free of charge. Joomla is only a plugin, the Booking Wizard can be added to any site, even a simple DIY html site.
> Anyway, I thought you might appreciate the feedback, let me know if you intend to change
> the focus of the product.
All comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Follow @aphroditevilla for latest prices and offers.
Luxury, spacious 3 bed villa in superb location within Adonis Village at the 5 star Aphrodite Hills resort, Paphos. The villa is located on the edge of the western ravine, and it is only 5 minutes walk to the main resort facilities such as the restaurants, bars, golf, tennis and spa. Many other villages in the resort involve a long walk or a drive to get to the facilities. The communal pool is only 30 seconds away, but completely hidden and child-safe as it is up a flight of steps.
Wifi is available within the property free of charge.
The villa ideal for couples, families or groups. The three bedrooms are spacious - two doubles (with king size beds) and one twin. Two of the bedrooms can easily accommodate an extra bed or cot (all available at no extra charge), and two of the bedrooms have direct access to the terrace.
In low season, we're happy to rent out for short stays such as weekends, so please do enquire. Also, we're happy to offer special deals for longer stays of 3 - 4 weeks.
On the ground floor, the spacious living/dining room opens directly onto a large terrace with a sofa, chairs and coffee table, an outdoor dining table and gas barbecue. There is a second terrace on the lower floor, with steps down to a third terrace which leads onto a small garden planted with mature shrubs. There are fantastic views over the ravine and down to the Mediterranean sea.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need including fridge freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, coffee maker and all the utensils and crockery items you would normally have at home.
The resort has won many awards including the Best Mediterranean Family Resort at the World Travel Awards 2013.
The resort boasts a 5 star Hotel (operated as a Sensatori Resort from May to October), a Cabell B. Robinson designed Par 71 Championship Golf Course, 3 hole Golf Academy, a Tennis Academy with 9 floodlit courts, a world renowned Spa, Gyms, Restaurants, Shops and Bars.
The villa itself is furnished and decorated to a very high standard. The extensive terracing allows for sunbathing and alfresco dining. The interior is spacious and well lit.
All 3 Bedrooms are large and have extensive wardrobe and drawer space. Both bathrooms have powerful showers. There is air conditioning and heating in every room. The communal pool is within 50m but is unobtrusive as it is up a flight of steps, so can't actually be seen from the villa.
For stays of a week or longer we provide a complementary welcome pack of essentials such as bread, tea, coffee, spread, wine etc. For shorter stays, a welcome pack can be arranged if desired at a small extra cost.
The Senastori Hotel: The Sensatori Aphrodite Hills Resort Hotel offers an array of dining opportunities in the finest choice of settings, from an informal outdoor poolside grill to an exclusive indoor fine dining experience. The hotel's many bars equally tempt guests from the comforts of lounging indoors to the elegance of sipping champagne out on the deck, looking out at the sunset over the Mediterranean. The hotel features a 151-square-metre heated indoor / outdoor pool that can be enjoyed throughout the winter and summer months. Contemporary and elegant, the Hotel is set in an area steeped in culture, mythology and tradition. It is a haven for devotees of luxury and comfort, promising to impress even the most discerning guests. The Resort also has a charming chapel for weddings and christenings.
The Retreat Spa and Wellness Centre: Voted the world's third best resort spa by Homes Overseas Magazine, The Retreat was used by the British Olympic Team during their preparation for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Set in fragrant gardens with refreshing water features, a heated swimming pool and hydro pools overlooking the Mediterranean. The Retreat takes its architectural inspiration from the great baths of Ancient Greece and Rome. At the heart of the Spa, stone colonnades run around a central courtyard, creating an authentic location for the theme. This suite of progressively warmer rooms and pools, tempered by cooling showers and a frigidarium, recreates the classic Roman bathing ritual to detoxify the system, stimulate the circulation and refresh the body. At the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy guests can enjoy playing & receive professional tuition and coaching. For the more active guests, there is a Cybex equipped gym with an extensive range of cardio and strength training equipment.
Cyprus' climate makes it the perfect holiday villa rental location:
Long hot summers and short mild winters make Cyprus the perfect holiday destination, while the island's long history provides plenty of fascinating sites of interest for visitors to explore. An island of contrasts, the countryside of Cyprus extends from beautiful beaches to the splendour of the Troodos mountain range and the stunning Akamas National Park. The countryside is dotted with small villages where time seems to have stood still and old men sit outside coffee shops watching the world go by. You might even see a donkey tethered nearby. Head for the coast and you'll soon discover why Cyprus is one of the Europe's leading holiday destinations. Stunning beaches and excellent facilities make for a memorable vacation and few people can resist the temptation to dive into the cool blue of the Mediterranean. The Cypriot people are very outgoing and hospitable. Stop in any village and don't be surprised if you are invited to someone's house for coffee.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Stephen McBurney
Stephen & Deirdre McBurney, originally from Ireland, now living and working in the UK. We have 4 kids all 11 and under.
Stephen McBurney purchased this villa in 2013
Why Stephen McBurney chose Aphrodite Hills
After holidaying on the resort in another nearby villa, we found it worked perfectly for us as a family and clearly had everything we needed to keep children and adults happy for many years to come. We viewed this property and immediately knew it was the one for us, due to its spaciousness, great location and views.
What makes this villa unique
The villa is spacious and brilliantly located, just a few steps from a great communal pool (that rarely gets busy even in peak season). It's only a short walk (5 mins) to all the resort facilities, which was important for us as we didn't want to have to drive down to the pubs or restaurants.
We've also explored lots of the local restaurants and can provide some recommendations if desired.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This is the second time we have stayed in the property and it really is a home from home. Chris's use and replace policy works so well. None of that usual scrambling aorund for things when you first arrive as it's all there. Just top up as you use things. A useful welcome pack as well. All good communication pre holiday and a local agent is on hand if needed. There's also loads of information about the area to be found in an extensive folder, which if you're a first timer is really helpful and had clearly been updated since our previous visit. We've no hesitation at all in recommending this property and more likely than not will return.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" definitely tops the list of favorites for many people, but we're not talking about the Mariah Carey song… We're talking about the song by Vince Vance and the Valiants.
Vince Vance is a great entertainer here in North Texas. You can't miss him with his wild hair standing straight up. He is the hardest working man in show business hosting the Koolest Komedy Klub In Texas in Grand Prairie in addition to rocking as the frontman for Vince Vance and the Valiants. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is still one of the most requested songs every Christmas, as it has been since it was released in 1993.
Vince has made Texas his home, but he's originally from New Orleans, LA. In fact, he was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame for a song he wrote 5 years after Hurricane Katrina called "I Am New Orleans."

One Massachusetts high school soccer player is becoming an internet hit, thanks to one goal.
Nico Calabria is easy to spot. He's the guy with one leg.
Playing on his high school soccer team this season, he recently scored his first career goal, and the video clip on YouTube already has a million hits.
He was born without a right leg and hip. His parents raised him with one expectation: that he shouldn't expect any special treatment.
Calabria was just five when he decided that a traditional prosthetic leg was simply holding him back.
"My disability doesn't define who I am. My disability gives me a challenge every day," Calabria said. "You can go the option of forearm crutches which are... they make you stick out heinously, but they also give you this opportunity to be as mobile and as free as I wanna be."
And he definitely is living up to that potential. At just 13-years-old, he became the first one-legged climber to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
This past summer, Nico made his debut for the US amputee soccer team, and now wants to take them to the World Cup.

DWTS Recap: Jennifer Grey Embraced Perfection| November 16, 2010 at 9:04 AM EST
Last night on DWTS it was time to battle it out to see who will move past the semi-finals in Dancing with the Stars. (It's also time to wonder if anyone else is as sick of this DWTS theme song as I am. It haunts me in my sleep!)
Tom Bergeron noted that we have the two best dancers as well as the comeback kid (Kyle Massey) and the consistent crowd pleaser (Bristol Palin.) Is it too much to hope that Massey might pull off the big win?
Here's a run-down of the dances last night:
Brandy and Maks: (Paso Doble) The most entertaining thing was that Brandy wore a bizarre pirate-inspired costume which had no purpose at all. The two love doing fake acting, and this time Maks was a jerk treating Brandy's character like she was nothing until she proved herself by wiggling juuust right. This theme hits a little too close to home to the pair, as Maks has never treated Brandy all that well. Len said the pair gave 100% in this dance. Bruno said there was a lot of anger and they (or Brandy) needed anger management. Carrie Ann believed the dance was passionate and that Brandy had worked on her upper carriage. Finally – a note about the form! Brandy said they dedicated that dance to anyone who had ever been bullied. But specifically, I suppose, bullied pirates? Score: 27/30
Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: (Cha cha cha) Jennifer Grey got a bit of a solo as she shimmied around the judges in a wisp of a dress made of white ostrich feathers. It was very sexually charged to be on network TV before 9 p.m. – yowza. Bruno called this a luminous and vibrant cha cha cha with flawless execution. Jamie Lee Curtis was in the audience and they flashed to her several times – and she was very excited. Len said it was a high performance level with good technique and fun. And it's true, this was a fun dance to watch. Can't wait for the inevitable fall down. Score: 30/30 (Their second perfect score.)
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: (Paso Doble) Mark addressed that lots of people think shes' getting votes just because of who her Mother is. Do he and Bristol think that? No. Bristol said she's relatable because she's not fake (taking far too many pains to stress that she doesn't necessarily think anyone else in the competition is fake – meaning she totally does.) Mark said it's because people think they would dance how she does, so they like her. What! I would be a dancing star! Pft. Their song was "Gimmie More" which was a clever nod to what America apparently seems to say about Bristol. To me, she danced like a trained monkey. Shrug. Sarah Palin was in the audience, cheering on her daughter. Carrie Ann invited Bristol up for a hug, and said Bristol had nailed the dance. Do you suppose the judges were coached to go easy on Bristol since it never makes sense how she keeps being voted back? Len said it was her best dance, and Bruno said he never thought he'd see the little lamb turn into a tigress. (Is that because her hair was crimped like a lion's mane? Also, WHO crimps their hair anymore? Why did they do that to her? That's practically a hair assassination!) Score: 27/30 (Their highest score so far.)
Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: (Samba) As always, Lacey treats Kyle like he's 5 years-old, even so far as calling him a "man child." She's always coddling and poking him like an annoyed Mother who needs to wipe his face. Len said Kyle had "more bounce to the ounce" than anyone. Is that a way of calling him chubby? He's actually lost weight! Bruno then said he was a "bouncing bundle of fun." Why were there all these baby references? Carrie Ann said she'd never seen so much pelvic action – and apparently she liked it. She called it the right blend of technique and performance. Score: 29/10
The show then turned into a Vh1 episode of "When they were Stars" where we learned about the tragic backstories of our top four contenders. Brandy said the most difficult time she had was when she was involved in a fatal car accident. It wasn't her fault, but she was still called a murderer. I never even heard about that. I know that Rebecca Gayheart had a similar situation. Earlier today I saw that Brandy was finally also talking about her eating disorder, although she says she wasn't anorexic or bulimic, just not eating enough.
Brandy and Maks: (Argentine Tango) Len said her extension was fantastic, and loved the atmosphere of the inner emotion. Bruno said the dance was full of flavor and had great emotional depth. I agree, this was a good dance. Score: 30
Jennifer Grey's segment involved news of Dirty Dancing when she suddenly became America's Sweetheart and then the horrible, fatal car accident she was in with her then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick. (The two best celebrity dancers in this show were both in car crashes that killed two people…weird.) Her neck has been very fragile ever since then. Jamie Lee Curtis spoke of how proud she was of her friend.
Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough: (Waltz) I was distracted by the song, which I hated and reminded me of being forced to shop with my Mom when I was very little, and they would play really bad soft rock songs in the stores. Bruno called it a gem of a waltz with stylish, elegant detail. Carrie Ann said she could see her soul and the body doesn't lie (Shakira was outraged somewhere, her hips flaming with rage!) Len said "sometimes a whisper can speak louder than a shout" and "If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up." Geez, what other cliches would he like to invoke? Score: 30/30. This gave her a perfect score for the night.
Sarah Palin, of course, was in Bristol's segment. We learned Bristol played football as a child and Bristol said she never had any challenges until she started dating Levi. The day Bristol said she was pregnant changed their world. Lots of people called her a skeeze. After Bristol had her baby, she's become an activist for abstinence, telling young teenage girls how hard it is to raise a baby.
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas: (Waltz) I don't get a sense of connection to her partner during her dances, but I think her technique was very well executed, for once. Carrie Ann said Bristol drifted out and didn't show emotion for this dance. (She was booed for saying that.) Len said he loved her vulnerability and thought it was beautiful. Bruno liked that she was a women of mystery in the dance. He also said that she's truly had a long journey during this show. Bristol then mentioned God as they waited for their scores, saying of her future plans: "There's a lot that God has in store for me." Well, you can always win votes by bringing God into it! Score: 53/60 for the night.
Kyle's segment was the most exciting one because we really don't know anything about this dude! Kyle was on That's So Raven and then a spin-off show. He'd started out acting and did well, so his Mother took him and his brother out to Hollywood. Just before they were going to leave, Kyle was booked.
Kyle Massey and Lacey Schwimmer: (Argentine Tango) He seemed very powerful in this dance, and really was acting the part. But the thing that messes me up when he smiles and then goes back into a taut, SRZ face. Breaking the character gives it a less consistent performance to read into, for me. Len says Kyle is a star and no one has ever performed with so much attack in 11 seasons as he does. Bruno says he was strong, sharp and masculine. He liked how Kyle moves from fun into drama, and said he was Mr. Charisma. Carrie Ann said he reminded her of Emmitt Smith. Score: 29/30
So, what did you think? Who do you think will be booted off tonight?

It would tickle me BRIGHT PINK!! If Brandy were the next shocker vote off!! I am so sick of her,"All about me" attitude all the time. Come on, enough already. I think every dancer has tried just as hardand wanted the win just as bad as any of the dancers now and in the past, where does she get off saying she want's it more….give it a rest and go home.
GO JENNIFER!!!! I started watching DWTS because I heard Jennifer was going to be on. WOW!! She is absolutley beautiful. She and Derek make the best dance couple. They fit so well together it's mesmerizing to watch, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Keep up the good work and God Bless. You have my vote for the championship. Hey, three perfect scores in one season..Isn't that a record? Dance…Dance..Dance…..
I absolutely have to say my vote is for JENNIFER!!
she is just poetic when she moves and what moves she has, she gives new meaning to us 50 and over, keep it up!! Kyle has come a long way, I give him props for keeping up, he is very entertaining! As for Bristol, I feel she is phony, and it was a set-up from the beginning to get her mom back in the lime-light and try to make less of what her daughter had done by getting pregnant as a teenager, mom you need to give your children more attention, PUT DOWN THE BLACKBERRY!!!

The Portland Trail Blazers need another big man miracle
- Updated: July 2, 2014
The Portland Trail Blazers went into the 2013 NBA season with little fanfare. They upgraded their bench group and kept their starting five intact. This offseason, the Trail Blazers will need a couple parts to be a complete team.
Fortunately for the organization, they have Neil Olshey.
The team's general manager finished third in the NBA Executive of the Year award after adding Robin Lopez, Dorrell Wright,and Thomas Robinson last season. This year, he will need to duplicate the same idea and principles that both Robinson and Wright did not accomplish — a consistent big man threat to spell minutes off of LaMarcus Aldridge.
While Lopez and Mo Williams (who would need to be re-signed) were a success, Olshey only has two spots to work with and a mid-level exception to use it on. It will be another offseason of creative tinkering if the Trail Blazers will improve on last season's breakout.
The series loss against the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs was not an eye-opener. For many basketball purists, it was a battle of evolution. One team, the Spurs, were the better model than the other, the Trail Blazers. Each position was a mismatch despite close comparisons. Information could be granted through losses, but the loss against the Spurs didn't add too much for the Trail Blazers' offseason plans.
Now, Olshey will need to spin another big man miracle to compete in the wildly competitive Western Conference. That could start with the rumors of a Spencer Hawes signing, or better yet, a sign-and-trade for Detroit Pistons' Greg Monroe. The addition of Monroe with the use of the mid-level exception would automatically upgrade the first or second unit dramatically.
Monroe, an accomplished scoring big man with a penchant for rebounds (but not blocks) was already a forsaken piece in a crowded Detroit front court. It would make sense for both teams to figure out a middle ground.
If Olshey figures a way to sign or trade for another cheap and effective big man, ala Robin Lopez, this could be the team to fear. Another year of seasoning for the starting five, in addition to true bench depth and scoring potential, could be the difference to an NBA Finals appearance.

Best White Pizza or Pepperoni Pizza (Austin)
Not much of a fan of tomato sauces so I usually go with White Pizza or if I do go with others like pepperoni, I skip the tomato sauce.
Was wondering if anyone could point out their favorite places for white or pepperoni :)
Salvation Pizza has a strong clam white pizza and a strong margarita sans tomato sauce but w/ tomatoes (i guess this is technically a white pizza). They've got my favorite pizza in town, but the service is always pretty bad.
I like Milto's thick crusted pizza, you can get a slice and a small Greek salad for a great price-that's why there is such a great following of college students and locals alike.
We went to Hyde Park Grill the other night for theirs only to find that it had been taken off the menu. We left and went around the corner to Canoli Joe's - where its also very good (and still exists on the line-up). They have two versions, but not always at the same time.
Haven't done this in years, but I used to go to the Brick Oven on Red River and get a pizza pie with alfredo sauce, artichoke hearts, garlic, jalapeños, and pepperoni. It was mighty good.
Although I have always had great service there, I would like to agree with aurent about Salvation Pizza's white pies. The shrimp white pie is great, capers, plump tasty shrimp and lemon juice, I have never been disappointed by this east coast style pie!
Reviving this thread because I finally got to try the rosemary/potato/goat cheese white pie at House Pizzeria the other day. Cheese/starch heaven. Be forewarned, though, the pizza had a fair amount olive oil drizzled on top. If you are averse to that kind of thing, don't get it. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and lightly brown/crisped on top, the cheese creamy, the smell of the fresh herbs so fragrant and delicious, and of course the crust at House is a nice combination of thin/chewy/crisp. Got a side ramekin of roasted garlic & olives, put these toppings on my pie, it was even better.

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A candlelight vigil will be held for two Las Vegas police officers near where they were fatally shot.
The vigil for officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo will begin at 6 p.m. Monday at the corner of Nellis Boulevard and Stewart Avenue.
It will be hosted by the organization 10,000 Kids Inc.
Pastor Troy Martinez says the purpose of the vigil is to show support to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and to send a message that "this type of violence will not be tolerated."
The two officers were having lunch Sunday at a pizza buffet in a strip mall when Jerad and Amanda Miller fatally shot them at point-blank range. The suspects then fled to a nearby Wal-Mart, where they gunned down a bystander before killing themselves.

Looks like a good burning can confirm that we have broken up!
BF pours gasoline on GF and throws match and says
"No, we're not getting back together biatch. You slept with my neighbors DOG!"
OK, last penis/balls one for a while after Don't hurt my penis and Don't Hurt My Penis II
I find it funny (in a phucked way) how these guys end up dead with their balls out there.
I assume she is black and not black from being burned. One thing for sure, she does not look happy...
It seems that this poor phucker was burned along with his tongue and ears cut off AND shot!
(Click the pics for close-ups)
Check out that charred penis too! Ouch!
Skinless, lost some limbs and STILL alive. If it were me, please kill me!
Did she melt herself? Get caught in a fire? Go crazy with the super glue?
Who knows. She is phucked for sure!
We posted the original melted man a few days ago. Here is another melted man.
Next time you get a zit on your face. Think of this picture, it could be far worse. Your entire body could be BBQ and melted!

Friends of Kris Humphries: Peeved Over Myla Sinanaj, Liesby Hilton Hater at . Comments
According to a new report, friends of Kris Humphries are pissed that the New Jersey Nets power forward has been secretly dating Myla Sinanaj for months... and we know what you're thinking:
Kris Humphries has friends?!?
Apparently. And TMZ says those close to the former reality star simply cannot believe he's been lying to them about his romantic interludes, which include at least two nights spent this week with Sinanaj.
Humphries allegedly told pals he was done with Myla, considering he stuck the FBI on her a couple months ago after she supposedly tried to extort him by threatening to reveal details of his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Confronted about his rekindled relationship with Sinanaj - if it even ended in the first place, that is - by loved ones, Kris reportedly ignored the question and changed the subject.
Seems like the sort of immature response we'd expect from Humphries, really. We can totally understand what you see in him, Myla.

@deon "According to what was reported she lied bigtime". First of all ur not stating a fact so u lose shut up
Ihope she is charge with pergery. They are both liars he says he was going to sue her for lying that they are going out and she also
say that she was pregant, she say that she was suing him for lying.
Couple weeks later she denied the story on oath. They are still seeing each other, he lies about every thing, he said he did not give his one night sex lady herpes. He ask Kim to marry him she did
not force him and now she wants a divorce he is sayig she only marry
him for rating and wont divorce her. He is a liar and an idiot. He
should pay the lawers fee.
Correction: Have Kim dammed.
Accordimg to what was reported she lied bigtime. Anytime a website posts something that is not n favor of shithead, one of his followers comes with something negative about the webaite or blames everything on Kim. But all shithead has to do ia say something and followers immediately have her dammed. U shithead followers r such hupocrites'
Did you hear her Beth? Where you there_please tell me what else she said on the stand!
She lied on the stand. I hope they get her ass and his.
THG and TMZ are such a joke get a life ppl... They don't wanna land up on gossip sites that's why they being super private. I guess ur next post is gonna be about Him giving her his car right? Ur a day behind

Foreign Correspondence
Brooks' mentions Jill Ker Conway a couple of times, which was nice since I've read Conway's memoir of Australia too. Interesting comparisons there.
I was thinking this book would certainly count for Melissa's challenge, but since it turned out to be rather different that I was expecting, it's a little less sure. But I think it does.

Aw, I'll count it. (I've been counting everything else!) I like Geraldine Brooks -- and I agree, she's a good writer -- but I think Nine Parts of Desire is still my favorite of hers. Haven't read People of the Book (yet; it's upstairs waiting for me), though.

People of the Book is probably my favorite, but I did like Year of Wonders. There were things I liked about Nine Parts of Desire, but I can't recommend it. It's not balanced.

Foreign Correspondence is my favorite Brooks book -- maybe because I saw myself in so much of it. I had a ton of foreign penpals when I was a teen, and tracked one down (an Aussie) when I was in my twenties.
Year of Wonder was a great book until the end, which was creepy and just didn't work for me -- it didn't have anything to do with the plague and was just plain dumb (IMHO :-)
Nine Parts of Desire -- I didn't/don't know enough to know about balance, but it was eye opening and a fascinating read. I especially like that she turned a cultural journalistic disadvantage (being a woman) into an advantage (being able to cover a topic men can't).

Bloggytown, The Gist
Orlando comedians court Maria Bamford
Last week, we told you about the inaugural Orlando Indie Comedy Festival, currently in the works for the end of September. Today, we received some more details, including who the volunteers planning the fest want to bring onboard as the headliner: Maria Bamford.
If you're unfamiliar with Maria Bamford's quirky charm, forthright honesty and funny voices, you're in luck. Maria Bamford: The Special Special Special was just put onto Netflix's streaming service this past Friday, May 30, and we're totally jealous that you get to watch it for the first time. We wish we could see it for the first time again instead of the ninth.
The only problem is that Bamford isn't actually booked for the festival.
Since the comics and volunteers organizing the festival have very little capital, they can't afford the usual booking fee for a comic of Bamford's level of fame. Instead, they're having to rely on good karma. Half of the proceeds from the Orlando Indie Comedy Festival will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Greater Orlando. NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to raising awareness and providing essential and free education, advocacy and support group programs for people affected by mental illness. Bamford has been very open about her struggles with mental illness and its stigmatization. The other half of the proceeds will be put towards planning and operating next year's festival.
In addition, some of Orlando's best local comics have put together a website, Orlando Wants Bamford, that contains an open letter to Bamford, along with a video featuring Marie George, Nick Pupo, Jacob Galang and other locals. Set to music by Thee Wilt Chamberlain, the comics explain to Maria why she should visit Orlando and promise everything from free Disney tickets to Rice-A-Roni.
Even if the folks running the festival don't get Bamford signed on, they still promise more than 30 national comics, along with some of the best locals. The festival will take place over four days at various venues around town, including several in Mills 50 and the Milk District. Individual shows will range in price, but a weekend pass will only cost $25 in advance.
We'll keep you updated as things develop, but check out the video below in the meantime.

The US dollar tumbled to one-month lows against the Canadian dollar on Thursday, emulating the arrival of cheery Canadian lodging information and a finer-than-estimate investigate U.s. beginning jobless cases.
USD/CAD hit lows of 1.0868, the weakest since April 9 and was last down 0.20% to 1.0876.
The Canadian dollar was helped after reports demonstrated that Canadian home starts climbed more-than-anticipated in April, while costs of new homes ticked higher in March.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said the yearly rate of lodging begins rose to 194,800 units a month ago from March's aggregate of 156,600 units. Examiners had anticipated that Canadian lodging begins will expand to 175,000 units.

Best Give Ever
By Mim Zee
from New York City
About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Quite often in life gifts are either seldom used or get returned and/or exchanged for something the receiver likes much better. Fortunately, neither one was the response of the receiver that I gave this pair of gloves to as a birthday present. Quite frequently we socialize, therefore I'm able to see which pair of his several gloves are being worn. I've noticed that he wears this particular pair much more often than he does any of his others and this guy is a fashionista. Case closed!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
My Son Loves These Gloves!
By Alex's Mom
from New York
These are my adult son's favorite gloves. He had a pair before, but lost them, so I bought him another pair. He really likes the textured grip for driving, as well as the stylish look. He says they also keep his hands warm enough when he's out and about in our Buffalo winters.

By lilstreak

I like these gloves. I wish they had M/L size because my Large pair fits a little big. Works perfectly for driving, dont be scared! It has a good grip. They are also stylish so you can wear them around.
By Politico Paul
from Washington, D.C.
The recipient of these gloves, upon appearing in public at a national event was mobbed by camera crews. Follow this coverage (which featured his classic salute to the crowds while wearing these gloves), the tide turned, clouds parted, the ground shook and he was norminated for President. One can be assured he will wear these gloves to every public outing in the future.
Great driving gloves for most climates
By Tim
from Northern Virginia
Fits hand wellExcellent constructionLook nice
Excellent as expected
By Young Mr. Rogers
from Virginia
- I use these gloves for when the weather is cool but not quite freezing (roughly between 32 degrees F and 50 degrees F) where I am doing a lot of driving with a lot of in and out of the car.- The Thinsulate is just enough to keep my hands warm but not too much where it becomes bulky and cumbersome.- I wouldn't recommend these for freezing weather.
great pair of driving gloves
By Pastor Jim
from Wichita, Kansas
These gloves are of good quality. The sale pricewas closer to what they should actually cost when considering quality vs. price. Only a fool would pay retail on Jos a bank.

By just me
from lake ozark, mo

Nice Driving Gloves
By MOS
from Medford Lakes, NJ
This is my second pair of these gloves. First pair, black, were a present about two years ago. They have held up well, are warm and look good. Took them on a trip out West last Winter and ended up wearing them shoveling snow and abusing them in other ways. No worse for the wear. New pair is brown. I have two JAB brown leather coats. Thought the brown pair would look better with the brown leather coats and they do. Have two cars. A pair to live in each.If I were having gloves custom made, I would like them to come up my wrist about 1/2" further; and I would I would want the decorative wrist strap to be functional. Still, very nice, warm gloves. Not as thin as nothing but leather driving gloves, but not bulky either. I'll take the trade of the lining for the warmth it provides.
wonderful gloves
By Retired but like to look good

to go with a brown leather coat. The gloves are tastefully built.
Great gloves!
By DaveW
from Western NC
These are the best gloves I have ever owned. The textured palm make them great for driving. They will keep your hands warm and look great with casual or formal attire.
I would buy this product again and again
these gloves will be used in a variety of ways

The lambskin is very soft and flexable while you felt the secure grip of the steering wheel. I am very happy with them.
I like these gloves
By Luke

I enjoy using these gloves. They fit me well and are warm enough. I like the softness of the leather and they are durable. I got another pair because I like them so much.

Very long, 3 DVDs. But it is very interesting! Examines everything from depression to what actually makes people happy. I'm going to give away the answer: having friends and family. And the happier they and their friends are, the happier you are! Don't believe me, they explain the science of it in the final DVD.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) - A man has been sentenced to
eight years in prison for having his pit bull maul a man who tried to recover a stolen bicycle.
Fermin Monterroso blinked away tears Friday in a Rancho Cucamonga courtroom after pleading guilty to robbery and agreeing to give up his dog, Trouble. The pit bull will be destroyed.
Prosecutors said Monterroso, 19, and a friend stole a bicycle from a man in Ontario last July. The man went home and told his roommate, Jeffrey Cross, who confronted the thieves a couple of blocks away.
Police said Monterroso unleashed Trouble and told the dog to sic Cross. The dog tore the man's arm and the gash took 33 stitches to close.
Monterroso's friend pleaded guilty to robbery last month and got a 2-year prison sentence.
