Ooh - BAD timing for travel to Hawaii - and if not booked by now you probably just about have to have a travel agent. Good thing this is just the honeymoon and not the wedding, if you are booking now - so an agent will be even more important to you in this case, though I guess you might get a decent deal with an airline-sponsored package deal for two as well, if any are still available.
My experience - a good travel agent is worth their weight in gold - we give ours a thank-you gift each year. We have one that charges $35 a person fee for all but extensive foreign travel packages (they make most of their money off booking commissions). We use her for all travel except simple mileage-plan-paid there-and-back trips when there is no rental car or motel involved, because when she does the booking she generally saves us about $25-50/day just on rental car and hotel/motel. For instance, on one Disney World trip we were able to take the 4 in the family PLUS our kid's two best friends for about 5 days there, staying on-property with preferred passes, for the same amount as just the normal two adult cost - a thousand plus in savings. We can go online and see zero mileage or discount seats available for an entire week - yet she is able to get us seats on the day we want in most cases, or at worst one day away, and almost always on mileage even though the airlines themselves say no mileage seats are available - including at high travel periods.
Of course, you need a conscientious one with lots of experience who knows the system ins and outs, and preferably running on the Sabre reservation system because it shows a lot more than competing systems and makes finding alternative booking easier, as I understand it.
Using a travel agency (preferably one with several people working there and 24-hour emergency service) also gives you a firm point of contact to solve any problems or rescheduling - we have had 10 minute rebooking several times when a flight was cancelled - generally before the airline even got around to starting to help passengers get on other flights, and an agent carries a LOT more weight with rental car agencies or hotels or airlines than you do if the reservation is screwed up by them. Oh, and our agent always gets us a free car upgrade too - typically jumped up 2 grades at no extra charge.
Don't leave it ALL to the agent - give a synopsis of what type of lodging and seating and such you want and things you want to visit, then let him/her come back with a concept plan for approval modification, then to a hold reservation for your approval - typically an agent can put a "hold" on reservations for 24-48 hours for your approval, though that does require you stay on top of your eMail to respond back with OK or not in time to allow cancelling or confirming the reservation within that timeframe.

WHAT IS IT? It's a new, slimmer version of Tag Metals' Rebound Technology Grip. The Lo-Pro grip's goal is to provide more cushion without more girth.
CONTACT? (888) 520-4888 or www.sixsixone.com/tag.aspx.
(1) Design concept. The original Rebound Technology Grip was born when Tag sought to build a grip with superior cushioning. The problem is that more cushioning meant more material, which translated into a fatter grip. There is limited room on a 7/8-inch bar, especially over the throttle tube. The Lo-Pro tries to address the girth problem.
(2) Dual-compound. The firmer inner compound clamps to the bar/throttle tube and increases durability. The outer compound is super-soft and pliable to provide plushness. In an effort to achieve maximum comfort, Tag was willing to sacrifice some resilience.
(3) Pattern. The raised diamonds on the original Rebound Technology Grip looked like the spikes on a medieval weapon, but they were very supple. The Lo-Pro's diamonds are much smaller. Testers who complained that the original grip felt too squirmy were happy with the Lo-Pro.
(4) Diameter. Believe it or not, the difference between the original fat grip and the new skinny one is only two millimeters. The original Rebound Technology Grips were so large that some test riders felt that they contributed to arm pump. The Lo-Pro is slimmer, but not slimmer than a standard grip. It's the same diameter.
(5) Feel. When switching from relatively hard OEM grips to the Tag Lo-Pro, test riders noted more give. And, while the Lo-Pro Rebound Technology Grip isn't as squishy as the original Rebound Technology Grip, it does maintain a supple feel and is more comfortable with padded gloves. The soft rubber has a very tacky feel when new, but the tackiness starts to diminish after a couple hours of use.
(6) Installation. Softer grip material means that extra care must be taken during installation. Safety wire can easily cut through the grip.
(7) Colors. Lo-Pro grips are available in gray with red, black or blue highlights.
If you're looking for very soft, supple, yet normal-sized grips, Tag's Lo-Pro Rebound Technology Grips are for you. They'll wear out faster, but they'll feel good while doing it.

You will not find a more comfortable or lighter golf shoe. I've worn this shoe for one season and it's great. My concern was amount of traction when I bought it but it does well in all conditions. It's also a great walking shoe.
These shoes just arrived yesterday and I was more than pleased with how light and comfortable they are. Only one round in so it remains to be seen how durable they are, but for the price they are tough to beat.

Organic 100% Whole Grain
Organic 60% Whole Grain
Organic Golden Amber Durum
Imported Traditional
Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.Advanced Search
Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells are small batch hand crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark using traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole grain durum is ground at our organic, AIB rated Superior, Michigan mill. Golden amber durum semolina is prepared at a certified organic mill. The dough is prepared in four separate batches - plain semolina wheat; semolina blended with organic carrot and organic annatto powder; semolina blended with organic beet powder; and semolina blended with organic spinach powder. Slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional screw shaft press, each of the four separate batches of dough is extruded through an artisan brass sea shell die, cut into individual pieces and spread on drying racks. The pasta goes through an initial hot steam dryer to reduce moisture slowly and then to the drying room for about 16 hours. After the pasta is dry an equal amount of each of the four different color pastas are weighed and combined before packaging. Each step helps to create pasta of exceptional flavor, texture, and character. The pasta is packaged in a reclosable box, with a delicious recipe and photo from Eden's kitchen printed on the back.
All Eden Organic Pasta is packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
Eden Organic Vegetable Shells are low in fat and are a good source of carbohydrate, protein, phosphorus, and magnesium. According to the FDA, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Vegetable Shells are made without salt and are sodium free.
Eden Organic Vegetable Shells are a fun to eat pasta and an excellent choice for soups, casseroles and pasta salad or served with thick, chunky marinara or rich creamy sauces. A delicious, beautiful and versatile pasta.

I would be much grateful if i could be advised on a predicament that i keep finding myself often.
Being 43 years old , a father of 2 children, and a husband of a good looking lady, still i keep finding myself looking at women in a sensual light . There are many phases , during which graphic content becomes kind of an all consuming obsession , sometimes followed by living a life full of conduct and good will . Unfortunately , ignorance keeps coming, hitting back with its ferocity . Have been burdened with this curse from early childhood and getting myself abused with troubles most of the time , unfortunately has left many deep rooted scars.
The only good thing is that i have not grown on to become an abuser , nor do i look to seek relationships outside to that of my woman ( but the urge is tremendous, what prevents me is the understanding that once the inherently familiar sensations have got over, i will be left with another troubled body and mind , adding to my own problems, and to that of my family ) . I have done a good many 10 day retreats and also a longer retreat , during which i am least bothered about by other female participants , and lead an exemplary stay, going about diligently in using as much time possible in untangling the troubles of an entangled mind. Coming back to daily living , and after a few days or months , the issue starts haunting again , going on to disrupt living a wakeful and mindful life.
Satipathan , the contemplation of the the disgusting nature and contents of the body , is yet to take strong roots in the deeper consciousness . Lust is very troubling , as it also fuels , indifference, leading on to sloth and torpor.
Sila , the all essential foundation of the Noble Eight Fold Path , yet eludes my efforts.

Chickadees are found across much of North America. The more common species include the Black-capped, Carolina, and Mountain Chickadees. On the Western Slope, we have the Black-capped and Mountain Chickadees.
Chickadees are easily identified by their namesake call "chick-a-dee." They are inquisitive birds and found in wooded areas. The Black-capped generally sings out a "fee-bee" call. However, this song is learned, and in overlapping territories, may be learned from the "wrong" species of chickadee.
Chickadee's wing beats are about 27 times per second. This would compare to a hummingbird's 80 beats per second.
The Black-capped Chickadee primarily eats insects during the breeding season with some seed and fruits. The non-breeding season finds them eating about half animal and half vegetable matter like seeds, spiders, insects, and even the fat from carrion. They prefer to eat seeds, suet, and even coconut. Mountain Chickadees do a lot of foliage gleaning, looking around branches and leaves for insects, beetles, larvae, and spiders. They enjoy seeds and will readily visit feeders. In early summer, Mountain Chickadees are able to find and use seeds which they hid during the previous autumn. Research has shown that while chickadees are regular visitors to feeders, over 75-80% of their winter food supply still comes from natural sources. Chestnut-backed and Black-capped Chickadees watch other birds' foraging success to see if they should adapt their behavior to be more successful.
Chickadees are a tough little bird that do not migrate. During cold weather chickadees have been found to need twenty times more food than they do in summer. When the temperature falls below 10 degrees F, research has shown that the survival rate of chickadees almost doubled when they had access to feeders. This resulted in an overall higher winter survival rate of 69% versus a 37% survival rate for populations without access to feeders. Chickadees have excellent coping tactics for surviving harsh winter weather. They cache foods and remember where they are hidden, have dense winter coats, diligently find excellent, well-insulated roosting cavities, and can perform a controlled hypothermia to conserve energy overnight. Chickadees are able to perform this hypothermia at night to drop their body temperature about 12-15 degrees F lower than their normal day-time temperature.
Have you noticed how ravenously the birds eat at your bird feeders, especially first thing in the morning and just before dusk? Chickadees can gain as much as 10% of their body weight each day and lose it all again during a cold winter night.
Chickadees are generally monogamous, mating for life. They are cavity nesters, and they will excavate their own nest site in rotten or decaying wood, use an old woodpecker hole, or a nesting box. (A Mountain chickadee may not excavate its own hole and will nest under rock, in a bank, or in a hole in the ground.) They will add a cozy nest on a moss base. Usually, chickadees lay six to eight white eggs with a light reddish-brown speckling. The eggs hatch in about 12 days and the babies fledge about 21 days later.
The longevity record for banded Black-capped Chickadee in the wild is 12 years and 5 months, and 10 years and 1 month for the Mountain Chickadee.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
Housed in a small, squat double-decker mirrored compact are eight shades of lip gloss. Each shade provides a tiny amount of product that must be applied with a brush; that is, unless you want to use your fingers, which isn't all that sanitary or accurate. You get sheer to translucent glossy color that feels emollient and is minimally sticky. This is rated Poor for two reasons. First, several shades of the gloss in this compact contain the potent irritants camphor and menthol, which irritate the lips and cause chapping and flaking skin. Second, many of the shades list active sunscreen ingredients, but the product has no SPF rating, and the actives do not supply sufficient UVA protection.
Two things remained consistent during my visits to various Trish McEvoy counters: The makeup artists were very knowledgeable about how to use the products to achieve the best results, and all of them remarked that McEvoy is a perfectionist. New York City–based Trish McEvoy knows a lot about makeup and how to use it to one's advantage, but we're afraid her perfectionist nature did not translate into across-the-board perfect products. There's much to love about her makeup, from improved powder-based products to her peerless brushes and ingenious day planner–style makeup cases. But while other artistry-driven lines are churning out innovative products and broadening their range so customers are treated to a variety that encompasses almost every preference, McEvoy continues to lag behind.
McEvoy's motto is "real makeup for real women," and we have no doubt that most women will be pleased with the manner in which this line allows them to assemble their own well-organized makeup kits. The products aren't inexpensive by any means, but sometimes convenience is worth the price, and many of the items (such as the formidable brushes) will need to be purchased only once. And keep in mind that McEvoy's Planners have room for other companies' products, so committing to this system doesn't limit you to only one product line.
Although the tester units have been visually improved and the products organized in a more logical manner, you'll still need a salesperson's assistance to identify product type and shade names. For example, while looking at the powder eyeshadows (McEvoy offers several formulas) we had to lift up the tiny powder tablets to see which formula we were testing. The same deficiency applies to nearly everything on the tester units, which makes shopping this line more frustrating than enjoyable. However, if you come across a McEvoy makeup artist, they are (at least in my experience) genuinely helpful and more than willing to demonstrate products without being pushy. We appreciate the emphasis on artistry over sales, because many of these products (applied well) sell themselves. Pay attention to the powders (regular, bronzing, and shiny), eyeshadows, mascaras, brow gel, Glaze Lip Color, and the aforementioned brushes and you're bound to be thrilled with your experience at a Trish McEvoy counter.
McEvoy and her husband, dermatologist Dr. Ronald Sherman, formulated her latest group of skin-care products. We naturally wanted to assume this meant improved products, including sunscreens with sufficient UVA protection and no fragrance (after all, a dermatologist should know better). Unfortunately, my assumption was wrong. It's not that all of McEvoy's latest skin-care products are bad. Rather, it's just that the formulas lack a state-of-the-art edge to accompany their prestige prices, and the few sunscreens available are seriously deficient.
For more information about Trish McEvoy, call 1-855-559-8800 or visit www.trishmcevoy.com.
Note: McEvoy's Web site has been "under development" since work began on this book. As we go to press, it is still nothing more than a Home page.

The Alpha AR Pant hits the sweet spot where light weight, packability, durability and exceptional weather protection come together. The GORE-TEX® Pro N80p-X body combines hardwearing performance and superior breathability with outstanding rain and snow protection. A heavier duty N155p-X material is used where reinforcement is necessary. The athletic fit is streamlined, but leaves room for layering. The Alpha AR Pant combines all-round alpine performance and protection with design and features geared specifically for the demands of climbing.
Streamlined and purpose focused minimalist design includes specific features that are hardwired for climbing. Arc'teryx Ergonomic 3-Dimensional (e3D) patterning crafts the shapes of the parts in key joint areas for an added level of use-specific articulation. A unique internal LegWrap™ streamlines the cuff to minimize crampon snags when walking and is removeable when not needed. WaterTight™ side zips add ventilation, highly abrasion resistant Keprotec™ material protects the insteps, removable suspenders add security, and the thoughtfully designed waist belt has a low profile that fits perfectly under climbing harnesses and pack hip belts.
GORE-TEX® Pro N80p-X fabric has a dense construction that minimizes the exposure of yarns to abrasive contact, reducing damage to filaments and maintaining surface integrity. Engineered for high impact and abrasion resistance, the N155p-X GORE-TEX® Pro fabric plies together multiple yarns in an Ottoman weave for maximum density, ruggedness and durability. These fabrics are more difficult to construct, but provide an exceptional durability and an ideal weight-to-strength ratio. Choosing the right material and the right construction is a cornerstone of the Arc'teryx commitment to craftsmanship.

Morris & Co.
English, 19th century
Draught Screen, 1890–1900
mahogany, silk damask, silk thread
92 x 229.5 x 3.2 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of an anonymous donor
This three-fold draught screen features the embroidery of May Morris, daughter of the founder of the Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain, William Morris, and his wife Jane Morris. May Morris embraced her father's championing of handcrafted objects and the empowerment of the craftsperson in the machine age. She was also a major supporter of the Women's Guild of Arts, established in 1907. After training at the South Kensington School of Design (now London's Royal College of Art), she managed the embroidery department at her father's company, Morris & Co., becoming chief designer of textiles with her father. May Morris's designs and needlework are particularly evident in the wonderful straight-stemmed lilies gracing the WAG panels. George Jack, the chief furniture designer at Morris & Co. in the 1890s, is credited as the maker of the wooden frame for the screen.

6 Winter Chores That Can Replace Your Next Gym Session
These around-the-house tasks burn the same amount of calories as your workout routine. You'll be shedding pounds and checking items off your to-do list.
By Amanda Green
Shoveling Snow: 373 Calories/Hour
According to CalorieLab, a 164-pound woman (the average weight for an American woman) burns 373 calories per hour shoveling snow the same amount youd work off in an hour of vigorous weight-lifting. So consider getting in on this cold-weather chore when the next snowstorm hits rather than leaving it to your husband, kids, or anybody else.

srsly though, I'd like to attend one of Tangy's weddings.
Given the fact that they come around more often than the Olympics, I reckon I'm a chance.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left

.......... so who's this Monica Bellucci? Given that sledger's mother-in-law seems to have ruled herself out of the running
Bellucci is a very fine older lady. I'd have a crack at Michelle Keegan if I had the chance.
Same as Brumby and NP but replace Monica with Sophie Marceau (I have been in love ever since Braveheart).
My foremost ambition has been to enter public life but being a politician in India unless you have the requisite family connections is an impossibility.
Before, I wanted to do something which would not take up my time which if done well would give me a steady if low income(investing etc.) and with the free time concentrate on writing/reading as much possible, not from a journalistic POV, but actual story/novel writing. It's something which has interested me since my childhood. So would say my deepest ambition was to be published author where I am satisfied with the quality of my work.
Since say the middle of 12th grade, I decided to do law and - I don't know for better or worse - but the atmosphere and the social expectations around me have made my ambition to score marks in ridiculously boring subjects like company law, get into a big firm and earn a ****lot and then get into practice and earn more. I suspect that it's more to do with everyone around me wanting the same thing but I don't really know.
Nineteen is not the age to be mind****ed about my ambitions,anyway and thinking about what to do in the future is the single most depressing thing, for me.
To be able to truthfully rap along to rap songs about having a 100 mill.
Otherwise, If I had my life taken care of and could pursue anything; I've love to be able to be a writer/director and create movies.
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
To be a Nobel Prize-winning economist, marry my unrequited uni love, become vaguely competent at legspin and remember what life is like without a debilitating mental illness.
****, that went downhill fast.

Lost in the fifth dimension: addicted to The Twilight Zone
While I definitely get my fill of television, I'm not someone who becomes hooked on the next new show. Sure, I will flirt now and then with "How I Met Your Mother", "Futurama", and "Reno 911″ (and a recent "Will & Grace" fling) but I'm not really hooked on any show on the air right now. Instead, I found love in "The Twilight Zone".
Thanks to Netflix, I've begun watching the classic television program, starting with the first episode. Perhaps it's the 60′s nostalgia that I love so much, but I also believe that the stories, especially the quintessential twist at the end of each episode, are what enthrall me. My favorite episode so far has been the "Time Enough At Last", in which a sweet book worm of a man with no time to read becomes the last human alive on earth, with all the time in the world. But of course, like every episode, there's a catch.
I believe what made this series a groundbreaking work of art, besides being one of the first television series to focus on the paranormal and sci-fi, was that every episode focused on a basic human need, desire, or weakness. Many episodes deal with loneliness, arrogance, and the tried-and-true saying,"be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it". And when we can relate to a character, even if he happens to be an alien or android, we have an emotional interaction that goes far beyond the capacity of the common coach potato.

Democracy In Action: Gaming Groups
But it does make me think about the democracy of the gaming group. I've made no bones of the fact that my style as DM is more dictatorial than anything. That doesn't mean I don't solicit feedback or anything, it just means that I am the final arbiter/judge of all in-game decisions. There's not a lot of shared narrative in our games, and they're not exactly decentralized in terms of power.
That sounds harsh to some people, but I think when we talk about our GMing styles (and the trend and backlash against softer, group-consensus game mastery), even the most dictatorial GM forgets that without the democracy and populism of group social formation and cohesion, nothing is sustainable. Quite frankly, you can be a tyrant GM directly up to the point that your group says "screw you, pal", and decides that there are a dozen better ways to spend a Saturday than watching you on a power trip.
The realm you create at the table only last as long as people continue to stand for it; the moment it becomes not worthwhile, all the strict GMing in the world won't save you. All someone has to do to break that is to not show up. So long as you're a dictatorial GM, you preside at the consent of the players, and their continued tolerance of the arrangement.
Thank you, and may God Bless America.

It's not just the GM that gets the vote- I have quit more than one game because there was a creep, jerk, a**, or other unfortunate excuse for a person involved in the game.
I'm a big proponent of the GM being the last say- even in a shared narrative style game, if the GM doesn't have the guts to say "no", I'm not interested in playing for long.
- November 2, 2010 at 7:20 AM
- Daddy Grognard said...
This relates in a way to the social contract that either formally or informally is established between DM and players at the start of a campaign.
When my current pbem is finished, I'll be blogging on aspects of GMing a pbem (and by extrapolation other forms) and the social contract will be one of those subjects.

GMs need to rule the table. I am a player most of the time and I may throw out my red flag once in a while to call for a review, but if the GM decides that the play on the table stands than I roll with it. *Thought you may appreciate the football analogy after your team's win last night :)*
- November 2, 2010 at 9:18 AM
- Joshua L. Lyle said...
Loquacious is on the right track; gaming is never a democracy (or republic, which is the more appropriate term, democracies being characterized by sortition, accountability, and publicity) because players (including the referee) have an easy-to-exercise right of exit, so the majority does not rule, but must instead pursue an organization of mutual benefit and unanimous consent, which is entirely unlike any known government. That is to say, unless you're chaining people to it, the gaming table is a form of anarchy. The consensual context of the social activity makes even a firm-handed referee very different from a dictator. Would that more of the world would be the same.

Good thoughts, guys, a bit more cerebral than yours truly. You should have caught on by now I only write things to bait you guys into showing me up. :)

Gaming is sort of like a commune; but only for short periods of time rather than having to deal with it all the time. I am glad we do not govern anything but fun this way.

Illustration by Diane Pierce
The adults of this Pacific species are distinctive, but the immatures are the plainest-faced Zonotrichia. The bird prefers denser brush than the white-crowned, and its behavior is similar to the white-throated. Monotypic. Length 7" (18 cm).
Identification Brownish back streaked with dark brown; breast, sides, and flanks grayish brown. Bill dusky above, pale below. Adult: yellow patch tops black crown; less distinct in winter. Immature: less-distinct yellow patch on brown crown. Juvenile: dark streaks on breast and sides. Plumage briefly held.
Similar Species White-crowned sparrows have distinct head striping at all ages; the golden-crowned has a plainer, brown face, with almost no contrast, darker underparts, and dusky bill. The yellow crown is usually present as a trace of color on the forecrown and above the eyes.
Voice Call: a flat tsick. Flocking birds give a husky chatter. Flight note: a soft tseep. Song: a series of 3 or more plaintive, whistled notes, often with each on a descending note: oh dear me.
Status and Distribution Fairly common. Winters south to northern Baja California. Breeding: stunted boreal bogs and in open country near tree line, especially in willows and alders. Winter: dense woodlands, tangles, brush, chaparral. Migration: spring migration mid-March–mid-May, peaking mid-April; fall migration mid-September–early November, peaking mid-October. Vagrant: casual to the East.
Population Stable.

Bibliography of Native North Americans (BNNA) is a bibliographic database covering all aspects of native North American culture, history, and life. Dates of coverage for included content range from the sixteenth century to the present.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Elvis Presley scored his first No. 1 hit, "Heartbreak Hotel," in 1956. His last No. 1 came in 1969 with "Suspicious Minds."
Elvis Aaron Presley, pictured here in 1972, was born on Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., to Vernon Elvis and Gladys Love Presley. His twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, was stillborn.
The iconic cover of Elvis' 1956 self-titled debut, featuring a photo taken July 31, 1955. The best-known song on the album was a cover of Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes."
1956: "Hound Dog" was a big hit for Elvis Presley. He serenaded a basset hound in a top hat with the song on the set of "The Steve Allen Show."
On Dec. 4, 1956, Elvis dropped in at Memphis' Sun Records, where Jerry Lee Lewis (far left) and Carl Perkins (second from left) were recording and jammed with them. Fellow Sun Records artist Johnny Cash (far right) joined them for this famous photo, which became known as the "Million Dollar Quartet."
Elvis Presley is pictured in his United States Army uniform in this undated publicity photograph. Presley entered the United States Army at Memphis, Tennessee, on March 24, 1958. Presley's overseas service took place in Germany from Oct. 1, 1958, until March 2, 1960, as a member of the 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 32d Armor and he received his discharge from the Army Reserve on March 23, 1964.
Elvis made 31 films as an actor. Here are just a few of them, starting with his first movie, 1956's "Love Me Tender," a western which co-starred Debra Paget and featured Elvis' title track.
"Jailhouse Rock," seen here in this colorized promotional poster used in theaters, released in 1957.
"Kid Galahad," released in 1962.
"Follow That Dream," also released in 1962.
A promotional poster for 1962's "Girls! Girls! Girls!" plays up Elvis' image as a sex symbol.
Elvis Presley is pictured in this undated publicity photograph from his 1965 film "Harum Scarum."
A promotional poster plays up the "go-go guy" Elvis in "Viva Las Vegas."
Elvis and Ann-Margret are pictured in this undated publicity photograph from their 1964 film "Viva Las Vegas."
Presley and Ann-Margret in another publicity photo for "Viva Las Vegas."
"Frankie & Johnny," released in 1966.
"Paradise, Hawaiian Style," released in 1966.
"Clambake," released in 1967.
Presley sits cheek to cheek with his bride, the former Priscilla Ann Beaulieu, following their wedding May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas.
Simply called "Elvis," but later known as the "'68 Comeback Special," the singer wore tight black leather for a concert NBC broadcast on Dec. 3, 1968. It was the singer's first live performance since 1961.
Elvis is pictured in this undated publicity photograph, which is autographed.
This bizarre photo opportunity came on Dec. 21, 1970, when Elvis met President Richard Nixon at the White House. Presley expressed his patriotism and contempt for the hippie drug culture, asking Nixon for a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge.
Elvis' last album, 1977's "Moody Blue," was released just short of a month before the singer's death. The album was a mixture of live and studio work, and included tracks from Presley's final studio recording sessions in 1976.
Elvis fans Bruce and Vickie Lancaster of Ripley, Tenn., watch an Elvis Presley concert on a screen at the Presley's Graceland home in Memphis in this Aug. 15, 2002, file photo.
Japanese fans of Elvis Presley fold their hands in prayer after placing offerings of juice and cigarettes on a bronze statue of the "king of rock and roll" in Tokyo on Aug. 16, 2002, 25 years after the singer's passing. The anniversary of Presley's death coincides with Japan's o-bon festival of spirits returning to this world, during which offerings of food and other items are made to the dead.
"Elvis on Tour," a documentary that follows The King on his 1972 tour of the U.S., made its long-awaited debut on DVD in 2010.

Can somebody make a mod which lets you destroy the tiny trees in GTA IV? It would be little but important twist in my opinion. :)
Posted on June 1, 2012 3:27PM by spoonda
there is a problem with added custom animations for custom added weapons (Episodic weapons), when you aim, there is no pointer and when you turn, it starts spinning around going left and right and it does not stop until we stop aiming! then, when in a helicopter, when we pitch, left and right, the camera stands still, I could fix the up/down standing still problem, but not this one....anyway thanks very nice mod.

HotSpa Professional Paraffin Bath
Based on 1 Review
Susan M.Ct.Not Enough Infogot the spa in 2 days from ordering. Great! Read the directions, and mittens and socks needed to get the full effect. Great! Where are they? Typed it in on the web site to purchase, can`t find it. machine looks great, wonder if they supply wax to purchase if needed as well? for future uses????? Most times, you order something, it comes with a brochere on how to purchase extras. This does not. I will search further, but a waste of my time. Should have been supplied with the machine.26 out of 33 shoppers thought this review was helpful.
