Avenue Hotel wins business awardTuesday, October 14th, 2008
Tuesday, September 30th, LIFE (the Faculty of Life Science).
There was much rejoicing among the attendants when the Municipality of Frederiksberg declared Avenue Hotel the winner of its prestigious Business Award. The Mayor of Frederiksberg, Mads Lebech, presented the diploma and a sculpture for the mantlepiece made by local sculptor, Carsten Jensen, to Avenue Hotel's Commander in Chief, Mai Kappenberger.
General Manager, Mai Kappenberger, at the Award Ceremony.
Mai Kappenberger expressed her profound gratitude, feeling both honored and overwhelmed by having the hotel singled out among 7,000 contestants. The judges had taken special note of not only the atmosphere and the surroundings of the Avenue Hotel, but also the wide array of interesting events taking place every so often, placing Frederiksberg on the map.
All employees celebrated by continuing to work smarter, not harder. A follow up attempt to make September 30th a National Holiday sadly was shot down by the Ministry dealing with such matters. Team Avenue wasn't put down, though, and will keep on truckin' into 2009.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Gets a Trippy PosterMovie News By Neil Miller on November 9, 2009 | (5) Comments
The Mad Hatter is assembling his army, and Tim Burton is getting ready to bring a wicked vision of Alice in Wonderland to the big screen this coming spring. And with that in mind, Disney has released a brand new teaser poster — and it is quite a trip. It features a creepy smile from the Cheshire cat, as well as the über-creepy Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. And some other characters you might recognize.
Give the poster a look for yourself below (click to enlarge), followed by the film's official synopsis:

Austin, Texas - A bill reaffirming landowners' ownership interest in the groundwater below their land passed the Texas Senate today by a vote of 28 to 3. SB 332, introduced by Chairman Troy Fraser (R-Horsheshoe Bay), will now head to the Texas House for consideration.
"The Texas Senate took a strong stance for landowners today by approving SB 332," said Dave Scott, rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
"SB 332 reaffirms that landowners have an ownership interest in the groundwater beneath their land and are entitled to a fair chance to produce it."
SB 332 acknowledges the current authority of groundwater conservation districts, but requires GCDs to recognize landowners' ownership interest in the groundwater beneath their land and their right to produce it.
Scott says SB 332 is necessary because some GCDs argue that landowners do not own the groundwater below their land.
"This bill simply reaffirms what the law has said for more than 100 years," said Scott. "That is that landowners own the groundwater beneath their land and have a right to produce it."
"We appreciate the hard work of Chairman Fraser and the Senate Natural Resources Committee, and now look forward to getting this bill through the House," Scott continued.
The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association is a 134-year-old trade organization. As the largest and oldest livestock association in Texas, TSCRA represents more than 15,000 beef cattle producers, ranching families and businesses who manage approximately 4 million head of cattle on 51.5 million acres of range and pasture land, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma. TSCRA provides law enforcement and livestock inspection services, legislative and regulatory advocacy, industry news and information, insurance services and educational opportunities for its members and the industry.

RFA, CNS tie in division showdown
ROME, N.Y. (WKTV) - The RFA hockey team tied with C-NS 2-2 Wednesday night in a game between the top two division one hockey teams in the state. RFA, the #2 ranked team in the state, beat C-NS, the #1 ranked team, earlier in the season, but C-NS had a better record overall.
The North Stars took an early 1-0 lead in the first period, but the Black Knights tied it less than three minutes later, then went ahead in the second. But C-NS would tie the score and send it to overtime, where neither team found the back of the net.
RFA is now 16-2-1 on the season and finishes their regular season Friday night at F-M.

Over the past few years, coal prices have plummeted. The global recession caused companies to cut back on production, which meant they needed less power from coal. In addition, the world is slowly shifting to alternative sources of energy like wind, solar, and natural gas. For a small-cap coal company like Rhino Resource Partners (NYSE: RNO), this has not been welcome news. This company's revenues and share price both fell sharply along with the price of coal. Rhino's share price is down about 50 percent since 2011.
Given the way things are going, should investors give up on Rhino? Not necessarily. Coal may be down, but it's far from out. While coal might seem like the energy source of the past, it is still incredibly important for world energy production. Coal produces about 40 percent of world energy. China is especially reliant on coal and is both the largest producer and importer of this resource. As the world economy continues to recover, countries will need more energy. We are still nowhere near completely replacing coal as a resource so more energy demand means higher coal prices. Rhino's share price would see a nice boost when this eventually happens.
In the meantime, Rhino is paying its investors to wait with a sizable dividend. This company currently has a healthy dividend yield of about 13 percent. Rhino can afford this decent payout because it is running at a solid 11.5 percent profit margin. When falling coal prices reduced Rhino's revenues, the company was able to respond by reducing its costs. A key reason why Rhino is so flexible with expenses is because a major part of Rhino's business is to lease coal properties; it doesn't primarily make its money from mining. This means that Rhino doesn't have to pay for a permanent mining workforce or for the cost of operating mines. Coal mining companies like Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR) and Arch Coal Inc. (NYSE: ACI) don't have this option and have been bleeding money over the past few years.
The question is how long can Rhino afford to keep paying high dividends? As long as it keeps its profit margins up, Rhino should be able to keep paying some money to investors. What's a little troubling is that this company doesn't have much of a buffer should things start to go wrong. Rhino has almost no cash in reserve and also holds a fair amount of debt; the company has a 53 percent debt/equity ratio. To hedge against risk, it might be a good idea to hold several companies using the same strategy as Rhino, paying a high dividend while waiting for coal prices to go up. Oxford Resource Partners (NYSE: OXF) and Natural Resources Partners (NYSE: NRP) are also suitable choices.
In the short-run, Rhino is paying out a decent income. Long-run, this stock depends on the price of coal. If prices stay low, Rhino will be in trouble. However, if prices climb back up, Rhino would turn out to be a great investment. Considering the way the world, especially China, is growing, I would bet on the latter outcome.

Anas strepera
(c) Glen Smart, USFWS
- Swans, Geese, Ducks
- Anseriformes
- Pato ruidoso, Anade riente
- Canard chapeau
The Gadwall is a common dabbling duck found across the northern hemisphere. Unlike many other North American ducks, its numbers have not only remained stable, but have actually increased significantly over the past several decades, due in part to effective land management.
(c) Scott Elowitz
Appearance Description
This medium-sized duck measures about 20 inches in length, and is slightly smaller than a Mallard. At first glance, adult males seem to lack any particular distinguishing characteristics; they are brownish-gray overall, with a sandy brown head. Upon closer scrutiny, the male displays a handsome array of tones, from the steely silver flanks, to the rusty back. In contrast, the rump is black, perhaps the Gadwall's most distinct field mark at rest. Females are similar to males, but even more understated. In flight, both male and female show a white speculum, or wing patch—the only North American duck species to do so.
Range Map
Range Distribution
In North America, the Gadwall breeds mainly in the "prairie pothole" region—the grassy wetland at the heart of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairie Provinces. Away from the Great Plains, they breed north as far as Alaska and west to California, south into Texas, east into the Great Lakes region, and locally as far away as coastal New England. Globally, they breed across central Europe into Asia, and winter across Asia and northern Africa. The Gadwall may have the widest global range of any duck species.
A legend for the range map to the right can be found here.
In winter and migration, the Gadwall can be found in a variety of aquatic habitats, ranging from coastal marshes, to lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. They prefer shallow water. Their breeding habitat consists of open grassy areas with low vegetation for cover, and access to water.
The Gadwall feeds mainly upon aquatic plant life and small aquatic invertebrates. Like all dabbling ducks, they feed by tipping steeply forward into shallow water to reach submerged food sources. They are known to dive for food occasionally, and also forage for grains in farm fields.
Gadwall establish pair bonds during fall migration, then remain together until the breeding season. On the breeding grounds, the female builds a cup nest, usually on bare ground in a concealed, grassy area. Nests are lined with leaves, grasses, and twigs, and plucked feathers. Gadwall prefer breeding on islands, which may contribute to a breeding success rate much greater than that of other ducks. They also nest later in the season than most ducks, often choosing fields that have already been mown. The female lays up to 12 eggs, which are incubated for about 26 days. Upon emergence from their shells, the ducklings are able to feed themselves, but remain with the mother hen for up to 10 weeks.
There are few, if any, non-migratory Gadwall populations. Migration takes place at night. The majority of North American Gadwall cross the Midwest, especially along the Mississippi River corridor, migrating between their prairie breeding grounds and wintering areas around the Gulf Coast. A lesser coastal migration also occurs, so Gadwall are likely to show up just about anywhere in the continental U.S. during migration.

- 5,102,500
- 3,900,000
- no current conservation concerns
Population Status Trends
The Gadwall has fared well in North America over recent decades, expanding both its numbers and range significantly. In the 1980s and 1990s, Gadwall populations increased dramatically at the heart of the breeding range, due mainly to improved wetland conditions and favorable land management decisions.
An explanation of the Annual Population Indices graph displayed to the right can be found here.
Conservation Issues
The Gadwall benefited greatly from two separate land conservation initiatives in the mid 1980s. The Conservation Reserve Program of 1985 procured over 2 million hectares of land in the prairie pothole region, transforming much of it to habitat favorable for nesting Gadwall. From 1985 to 1995, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Waterfowl Habitat Acquisition Plan produced similar results. These land management decisions bolstered Gadwall numbers to record highs, despite their status as a very popular game bird. The Gadwall would further benefit from restoration of the coastal wetlands on their wintering grounds along the Gulf of Mexico.
What You Can Do
Remain aware of local, regional, and federal land management decisions, particularly those that impact our wetlands.
Contact your legislators in support of wise land management initiatives, such as wetland restoration along the Gulf, and implementation of The North American Waterfowl Management Plan.

Kate Bosworth showed up at Sundance to promote her starring role in the new film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's autobiographical novel Big Sur, directed by her fiancé Michael Polish. They certainly chose an odd time to release a Kerouac movie, what with that other one coming out and all. I'm curious to see if Polish's version features any topless double handjobs. Anyway, Kate wore this leathery retro go-go getup to the premiere. The lady looks good in pretty much everything, and while this outfit is definitely very adventurous, I think it's slightly too literal to be a hit. It could've used some contemporary updates to bring it back down to earth circa 2013. What say you?

A conversation with Meg Curran: New PUC Chair
Margaret "Meg" Curran has pretty much done it all.
This biologist-turned-anthropologist-turned-lawyer served as a United States Attorney from 1998 to 2003. She was also previously a member of the Rhode Island Parole Board, and she currently serves as chairperson of the Rhode Island Health Benefits Exchange Advisory Board.
And now added to Curran's already impressively long resume is something entirely new to her — she's recently been appointed the chairperson of the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which regulates the rates and structures of utilities throughout the state, such as electricity, telephone service, ferries and trains.
"Learning about the different utilities is fascinating," said Curran of her new position. "It's also interesting the number of intersections that overlap with the PUC, and the kinds of things the PUC touches on."
Open to ideas from Block Island
The Public Utilities Commission often touches on Block Island issues, including regulating the island's ferry services and the Block Island Power Company. Most recently, the PUC approved rate changes for ferry company Interstate Navigation, a decision that proved to be controversial on the island.
While talking with Curran, The Block Island Times asked how Block Island could have more of a say in cases heard before the PUC. During the most recent rate case — in which Interstate was allowed to raise its freight rates while lowering car costs — some members of the Block Island Town Council claimed that the town was not allowed as much input as it needed, even though the town was considered an interested party in the case.
"I do believe that it's very important for the PUC to hear from the interested parties," said Curran. "I'm open to any ideas that Block Island has got. I do think that it's important that everyone feels that they've been heard, listened to and considered."
However, Curran admitted she doesn't know too much about Block Island's particular issues — yet. But she does express a zeal for research ("I'm kind of a nerd," she confessed) and plans to learn more about the island as she goes along.
"I have to admit I'm trying to read a lot of different information — my brain is pretty much teeming," said Curran, who has been chair of the PUC since July 1, after being appointed to the post by Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee in June.
She added that she hopes to visit Block to learn more about its issues. "I know that Block Island has always been very environmentally conscious. It has a great committee out there," she said, referring to the town's Electric Utilities Task Group. "I think Block Island has certainly been ahead on renewable energy areas, in part because its energy costs are so high."
The Electric Utilities Task Group looks at energy issues on Block Island. It discusses options for renewable energy technologies. As an example, the group has been discussing converting town streetlights to LED technology.
Thoughts on the PUC
Curran said she hopes to look closely at expanding renewable energy in Rhode Island. One of the big issues to consider, she said, is how to "encourage the development of new technologies while at the same time allowing existing utilities to continue."
When asked how she expects to address this issue, Curran said: "I think it's kind of built in. There's a lot of renewable stuff that's before the PUC all the time."
Since taking the job, Curran noted, "I don't think that I have had what you consider 'a normal day' yet." Instead, she's been busy learning the ropes, and she has also chaired two public meetings of the Public Utilities Commission.
"My first one [meeting] was actually fun," she said, a hint of excitement in her voice.
In particular, Curran said she found the public discussion aspect new and intriguing, particularly because in her previous background in law, deliberation was not always public.
"Open meetings are incredibly important. It's an opportunity to do a general education of what the PUC does when people come before the commission. At open meetings such as rate hearings, the commission has the opportunity to explain on record certain things," she said.
A diverse background
While Curran reiterates that she hasn't done work that is related to utilities before, she feels confident she can master the job.
"Having worked in healthcare, I'm certainly familiar with heavily-regulated areas," she said. "Having a background as a lawyer and having practiced, I am good at analyzing information and putting it all together."
Curran has a B.A. in biology from the University of Pennsylvania, and a master's in anthropology from Purdue University. Curran received her law degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law.
On her switch from anthropology to law, Curran said this: "I thought, 'What am I going to do with anthropology?' My dad was a lawyer and he loved his job. I thought maybe I should try that."

Search and ponder for as long as you wish, but there is only one word to accurately describe Wayne Elsey. That word is Passion.
When I first met Wayne in 2010, his passion for helping those in need swept over me like a tidal wave. It was as infectious as it was inspirational. Now, as he embarks on this new endeavor, his passion for what lies ahead is even further intensified.
Wayne, like all achievers and life changers, possesses three key traits that separate him from the heard and allow him to make a difference in this world. In my most recent presentation, "I Want, I Will, I Win," I highlight three individuals who demonstrate their own special greatness with the hope that these stories will allow you to recognize your own, unique gifts. I'm grateful to Wayne for allowing me to share those stories here for you now.
Jerry Rice is arguably the greatest NFL player to ever lace up his cleats and step onto a football field. He played for 20 seasons, won 3 Super Bowl rings, and holds nearly every record for an offensive player, including most touchdown with 208.
Jerry Rice grew up in Starkville, MS. As a child, he became quite good with his hands by helping his father out with his stone mason business. But it wasn't until his high school principal caught him skipping school that he even considered playing football. You see, Jerry's principal saw Jerry leaving campus and called out to him. When Jerry heard the familiar, authoritative voice of the administrator calling after him, he ran even faster. The principal took notice of young Jerry's speed.
When Jerry returned to the school he was immediately called into the principal's office and given a choice. He could either be disciplined accordingly or put his speed to good use and join the football team. I think we both know what he chose.
A full scholarship wasn't far behind. In college, the young star began to see that the harder he worked, the better he became. So he worked harder. And harder. And harder.
By the time Jerry Rice was drafted into the National Football League, he had begun incorporating "deliberate practice" into his training regimen. As Geoff Colvin writes in his wonderful book "Talent Is Overrated," this is the ability to see what exactly needs to be worked on and the most effective way to work on it. Jerry Rice did just this my customizing his training to make him the best wide receiver in the game rather than the best football player in the game.
Jerry Rice had the WANT and was willing to go to extreme lengths to make his dreams happen. Sound familiar?
I'll now share the story of a young woman who, when faced with life's biggest hurdle, did not allow failure to become an option.
In 2010, Mayelle was living in the city of Port au Prince and working for the UN Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti. Her story was told me while Wayne and I were visiting Haiti on a shoe distribution trip. Neither one of us will ever forget it.
On January 12, 2010, Mayelle was attending meetings at the Hotel Montana in the center of the city. At 4:53pm, her world literally began to crumble. The rumbling began slowly and continued get stronger and stronger. As the floor and ceiling began to crack, pieces of concrete falling upon the heads of those in attendance, Mayelle fled the meeting room, made her way down the crumbling staircase, and found herself on the street below.
Confusion and chaos ensued as the 7.3 earthquake roared on. To date, over 250,000 lives have been lost as a result. Hundreds of thousands more were left homeless. Among the cries for help, Mayelle focused on one thing…getting to her mother's house.
Mayelle's childhood home was several blocks away. With the sidewalks destroyed and motorized transportation an impossibility, she began walking toward the street where she hoped her mother was safely hiding. Her journey, hindered by the fact that she had lost one of her shoes while fleeing the hotel, would be treacherous. In spite of the risks involved, Mayelle was determined to make it to her mother and set out on her journey.
She struggled through the rubble, assisting others when and where she could. She fell repeatedly but always got right back up. With each step and with each tear that rolled down her cheek, her determination became stronger. Finally, after what seemed like days, she could see the house.
The front porch had been separated from the foundation. The windows were broken and the front door hung loosely from the hinges. As she made her way inside, the shards of glass pierced through the sole of her one bare foot. Slowly she went from room to room. The living room was empty. Both of the tiny bedrooms were empty. The bathroom was empty. The kitchen was a different story.
Mayelle's mother, terrified, was clutching the kitchen sink. The repeated aftershocks had given the surviving Haitians a false sense of safety but she was taking no chances. She only let go to rush over into her daughter's arms.
They held each other and cried. The fear became relief and finally they were both able to smile. It was then, in the small home that had always been her safe place and, in an odd way, still was, that Mayelle realized she had made that incredible journey with only one shoe.
Today, Mayelle displays that shoe on her mantel as a daily reminder that nothing is out of reach or impossible if your heart is in it and you say, I Will.
Finally, I want to tell you of a lunch I had recently with a man named Dick Grob. Dick is not a household name and no one asked for his autograph during our meal at a pub in Las Vegas, but he knows what it's like to be a superstar better than anyone.
From 1969-1977, Dick Grob was Elvis Presley's head of security. He was right by The King's side for over 1100 concerts. He loved Elvis and misses his friendship every day.
Over burgers and onion rings, I asked Dick what he believed Elvis had that made the world fall in love with him. What is the elusive "It" or "X Factor" that we hearbso much about but can never be accurately described? Obviously he possessed an angelic singing voice and a stage presence like no other, but there had to be more. Dick smiled as if to say, "Get ready. Here comes the truth."
From the moment Elvis sang the final note of "Can"t Help Falling In Love With You" to when he was in a moving car leaving the arena it was never more than 45 seconds. Dick would throw a towel over his shoulders and keep a steady hand on Elvis' back as they literally ran through back hallways, past screaming fans, and into their waiting vehicle. By the time the infamous "Elvis has left the building" announcement blared he was blocks away.
Once inside the car, Elvis would don his large gold sunglasses, look over at Dick and ask, "How was I?"
How was he? As if the thousands of screaming fans filling one sold out concert venue after another wasn't enough of an indication of how things were going for him he sought out even more feedback! He wanted to know about certain notes, lighting and sound issues, etc. In other words…he cared about the product. He truly felt his fans (customers) deserved the best and he never stopped striving to give them exactly that. Elvis knew in his heart that to truly WIN you can never stop growing, learning, and improving. You don't get to be The King working by a joker's standards.
I encourage you today to write these six words down on a piece of paper, enter them into your phone, make them your screensaver, or simply commit to repeating them to yourself throughout the course of your busy day…
I Want…I Will…I Win!
Really get into it. Let them fire you up and turn you on. You'll know when the phrase has connected with your core because you will feel it physically. It will be a rush surging through your veins and you can then apply that pure, authentic energy to your individual passion.
As I write in my book, "Life In The Bonus Round: A Game Show Host's Road To Success & Fulfillment," it doesn't matter who you know as long as you know who you are. Only you know what you want your life to be and now you know how to achieve it.
Please follow me on Twitter @ToddNewton and share your successes. I wish you all green lights!

Valtteri Bottas has no idea why the engine cover of his FW36 was torn during Friday's second practice for the British GP.
Putting in the laps at the Silverstone circuit on Friday afternoon, Bottas was forced to pit when the left side of his car's engine cover came loose.
When he pitted it appeared as if a hole had been blow in the engine cover which was ripped.
Asked if he knew why it happened, the Finn told ESPN: "No, just the bodywork came off, and that's it really. I don't know yet, we will have to see but it just came off."
Bottas' problem was not Williams' first of the day as the team lost both cars within the first 30 minutes of FP1.
While test driver Susie Wolff, who was using Bottas' car, suffered an engine failure, Felipe Massa crashed his, damaging all four corners.
And although Bottas admits there is a "lot of work" for the team to do come Saturday, he feels he made up for some of the lost track time during FP2.
"We missed some aero tests we had planned for the morning so it's a pity but the main thing we focused on in FP2 was the set-up work. The aero work we can do here in the test next week. One session pretty much lost for us but we can't change it so it's ok.
"[It was] not bad for just one session. Quite tricky conditions today, quite windy and it's not an easy place to set up the car.
"A lot of work to do for tomorrow, it looks like Ferrari and Red Bull are a bit closer than Austria, I think it's going to be really tight so anything that we can improve we can help. It's definitely a downforce track and we know we still have work to do in that area."

We don't want to get you overexcited, but we just couldn't keep this one under wraps.
New York, get ready for Brooklyn Crab, a massive mecca for crustacean craziness, opening its doors in the coming weeks.
The owners — the same minds behind Cobble Hill's awesome rooftop resto Alma — are just tidying up loose ends and adding the finishing touches.
Like bocce ball courts. And 18-hole mini-golf. And giant sharks.
Of course, there will be crab, which you'll eat with a sweeping view of the East River from the BC deck. Blue, Jonah — if it's got claws, it's not safe from your maw. Then there's the raw bar with oysters, clams, shrimp. You're starting to get the picture.
Oh, and we can't forget the lobster. With Red Hook Lobster Pound up the block, BC helps solidify the neighborhood as Brooklyn's new go-to shell sector.
Since it's a bit of a schlep from Carroll St., BC's offering a free shuttle from the subway station. And for Manhattan dwellers, BC's just a few blocks from the free Ikea Water Taxi dropoff.
Nothing like shore-to-shell service.
Brooklyn Crab
24 Reed St. (Van Brundt St.), Red Hook
(718) 643-2722
Opening in June
Subway: F/G to Carroll St.
Game on: In addition to bocce and minigolf, there will also be three courts for the weird Midwestern sport known as cornhole, aka bean bag toss.
Nearby: Sixpoint Brewery; Red Hook Lobster Pound; The Good Fork

If you have never been with BlueHost, you have probably heard of it by now. Bluehost.Com is ranked eighth among over a dozen hosting companies and is one of the most recognizable names in the field of web hosting. The company was founded in 1996 and hosts over 1,000,000 domain names.
==> Click Here to Visit Bluehost.Com <==
The home of Bluehost is Provo, Utah, where the company shares the same building as Hostmonster (Hostmonster is a Bluehost subsidiary with same plan features except for unlimited domains).
Bluehost.Com Features
Bluehost wouldn't be so popular if it wasn't for its extensive features and low prices. You can have unlimited disk storage and host an unlimited number of domains under one account for $5,95 a month. You can literally purchase all the domain names fitting your business and park them all on one site. This way your customers will come to your site instead of another one with a similar name.
If you pay for at least one year, you will get a new domain for free (though for the first year only).
==> Click Here to Visit Bluehost.Com <==
Besides, you can create as many anonymous FTP accounts as you want, since most webhosting providers don't offer this feature.
BlueHost uses CPanel 11, and not Plesk (a major usability advantage).
If you apply for a refund within 30 days, you will get you money back. And if you do it after 30 days, they will retain only what you owe them at the monthly rate (which is fair enough).
As many providers out there, the company offers 24/7 support by phone and e-mail. Recently, BlueHost has been trying to keep hold times below 30 seconds (which is quite good for customer service). Of course, wait times for phone support on a busy day are a tad longer – in the five minute range. BlueHost's customer service team is based in the USA which is much appreciated.
BlueHost promises an uptime of 99% and it actually delivers it. Since 13 Sep 2005, the company's uptime has regularly been at 99%. Their worst month of uptime was November 2010 (99.94%) and the best – January 2012, with uptime at 100.00%.
With BlueHost, you have a lot of control (rich cPanel) and many features. If you are looking for a reliable web hosting provider with a lot of features for a low price, this is it.

very good, I would make either early that morning or ONE day before. I added 1 tablespoon of mayo and 3/4 of the avacado because mine was small. I also did not have white wine vinager so I use 1 T of red wine and 2 T champagne vinager. Very creamy did for a party--everyone loved it !!!!!

There's something about black and white that really shows up the soul of the subject. Mongolia looks gorgeous no matter what film you shoot with, but I do really like the effects of the black and whites in these shots.This photo was shot on film. Taken by maddym with a Nikon FM loaded with Ilford XP2 film (available in our Online Shop) in Mongolia. These tags describe this photo: mongolia, black, and, white, ilford, nikon, gobi, steppes, and ulanbatar. This photo can also be found in the album Mongolia.

A few days past the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline new roles are more defined and less speculation is required to assess the fantasy impact of all the transactions. Major leaguers are the focus here, for an assessment of the prospects traded Jim Callis of Baseball America ranks them all. None directly involved in any deals are worth claiming this year, and most will not be helpful in 2013 either.
Shane Victorino: 2012 is his least effective offensive season since his pre-breakout 2006. His power stroke is conspicuously absent as his ISO dropped from .212 to .138.  He is also very weak against right handed pitching. The Dodgers are a worse hitting team than the Phillies, and this year the park factors are comparable. He is still running and is one of eleven players with 25 or more steals.
Tangential Impact: Domonic Brown and John Mayberry are playing every day in Philadelphia. Brown is the eye-catching name but his stats have not improved since reaching Triple-A in 2010. Watch him, but feel no need to invest.
Paul Maholm, Reed Johnson: Johnson is the fourth outfielder in Atlanta, capable of playing any of the spots but unlikely to start more than a couple of games a week. Maholm has improved throughout the year
He is the #5 starting pitcher over the last 30 days so he is worth a look.
Tangential Impact: Travis Wood, Justin Germano, and Chris Volstad comprise the back of the Cubs' rotation. That are some strong matchups for any opposing hitter.
Brad Lincoln, Travis Snider: Lincoln collected five holds and a save in his last ten appearances for Pittsburgh. He pitched 3.1 innings for Toronto on Friday so it seems he has a different role. He is throwing well with a 8.86 K/9 and 3.94 K/BB. Snider started four straight games before Sunday. There is nothing new to report here, he is dominant in Triple-A but very flawed when facing major league pitching. Track his BB/K ratio (0.28 in his career), if it starts improving he could become a factor.
Tangential Impact: Rajai Davis is starting every day, at least while Jose Bautista remains out. Davis is one of four 30 SB men. Anthony Gose will play more as well, possibly preparing him for a starting role next year.
Brandon League: The Dodgers are using him in the late innings but he is not supplanting Kenley Jansen. Fantasy teams have little use for a middle reliever with a 5.67 K/9 and 1.53 K/BB. He still has a big fastball but strikes out under 6.5/9 since 2010.
Tangential Impact: With Steve Delebar also moving on Seattle called up Carter Capps. He had nineteen saves and a 1.63 FIP in Double-A. He could be a factor for saves in 2013.
Hunter Pence, Nate Schierholtz: Pence moves to a more challenging offensive environment but overall his change in value is negligible. He has 90 career PAs at AT&T park with a .305/.344/.524 line. His numbers are off slightly this year, but in 2011 a .361 BABIP fueled what could easily turn out to be a career year. Schierholtz is in the outfield mix in Philadelphia, and his 4-10 start could earn him more playing time. His ISO is trending up in his late twenties. He is not known as a power hitter but moving to Citizens Bank Park could help him reach fifteen home runs in a full season.
Tangential Impact: Gregor Blanco will have a tougher time getting into the Giants' lineup. He has not hit well since May but his nineteen steals were useful in NL-only leagues.
Edward Mujica: He still has a stellar walk rate but his strikeouts are declining. His xFIP has increased from 2.65 to 4.20 since 2010. He is not a specialist, he allows a .310 wOBA to hitters from each side of the plate.
Tangential Impact: There is little immediate change but Zack Cox is far likelier to find a regular job in Miami than he was in St. Louis. A .294 OBP in Triple-A has hurt his stock, so he has work to do.
Gaby Sanchez, Gorkys Hernandez: Sanchez has started two games for Pittsburgh and pinch hit on two other occasions. He offers a platoon compliment to Garrett Jones. Hernandez started four straight games in Miami thanks to some injuries to other outfielders. He went hitless in thirteen at bats, displaying the sub-standard offense that has kept him in the minors.
Ryan Dempster: He obviously faces a greater challenge in the American League, and received a rude welcome from the Angels. His .254 BABIP against and 80.5% strand rate are due to correct. He is still worth owning but he is not the staff ace that he pitched like in the first half.
Tangential Impact: Dempster's acquisition and Scott Feldman's strong run keeps Alexi Ogando in the bullpen. Roy Oswalt is also headed there.
Casey McGahee, Chad Qualls: McGahee started one game in New York but since Mark Teixeira's wrist is not problematic he will be benched most of the time. The Yankees prefer Eric Chavez or Jayson Nix at third. Qualls is far from the pitcher he was in Arizona, he has a 4.99 K/9 and 5.18 FIP.
Jonathan Broxton: He loses save chances as Aroldis Chapman and Sean Marshall remain the lead dogs in the Reds' bullpen. He also brings a very low 4.2% HR/FB into Cincinnati.
Tangential Impact: Greg Holland takes the reins in Kansas City. His 12.31 K/9 largely offsets a 4.97 BB/9. He also has a career high 1.96 GB/FB this year. Grab him in any league.

Slow play is a menace at a great many golf courses around the world. At Holmes Harbor Golf Course, it might be welcome. The 18-hole layout checks in at a featherweight 4,279 yards for a par of 64, meaning most full rounds can be played in just over three hours. For some, that's precious little time spent soaking in the panoramic views of Puget Sound, watching golf balls float against the backdrop of the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, and building trust with the course gophers. For beginners and novices, however, the course is an opportunity to enjoy golf in a picturesque setting without the usual punishment inflicted by more difficult courses. Though most of the holes are short??No. 18 is the lone par 5??they aren't without drama: the par 3 eighth hole, for example, features a 100-foot drop in elevation from tee to green.
The tenure of US Coast Guard?certified Captain Brett as captain of the Island Whaler began as a dream. In the course of nine months, he had a recurring dream about an unusual flatbed boat, which replaced his normal dreams about beating up Napoleon with Horatio Hornblower. More than a year after the visions stopped, Brett discovered his fantasy boat sitting in a parking lot in Anacortes. He now owns that boat and pilots the open-topped Island Whaler through picturesque waters to view the multitudinous wildlife found in and around Deception Pass.
The open deck and low-slung cabin of the seafaring sloop grants easy, panoramic views of the steep, rocky landscape. Captain Brett chimes in against the breeze with educational details about the pass's historical significance, structures, and ecology. Throughout the tours, spritely fauna with unevolved senses of stage fright perform lively, natural ballets as visitors potentially lock eyes with bald eagles, seals, porpoises, gray whales, and Pacific Northwest giant squid.
It sounds just like a movie: a former Disney employee and a former mayor team up to run their own theater. That's exactly what Jeff Brein and Sam Granato did in 1988 with Bainbridge Cinemas, where they still spend Friday and Saturday nights tearing tickets and scooping popcorn. Besides Bainbridge Cinemas, their theater collection—Far Away Entertainment —oversees seven other local theaters, including the historic single-screen Lynwood Theatre. Opened in 1936, Bainbridge Island's first talking picture house now specializes in independent features and foreign films in which actors rearrange the English alphabet to make strange new sounds.
Over at the two-screen Admiral Theater, projectionists give newer Hollywood releases a second run, plus host screenings every year for the Seattle International Film Festival. Far Away's five remaining theaters, each with three to five screens, show digital versions of Hollywood's freshest celluloid. Lean back in the Anacortes' reclining seats, or scarf down an all-beef frank at Oak Harbor while taking in a flick or live screening of the Metropolitan Opera.
At age 5, second-generation islander Johannes and his father paddled along San Juan Island, their kayaks crossing paths with troops of orca whales. This foray ignited the young adventurer?s twin passions for kayaking and stewardship. Now, Johannes? team of outdoor enthusiasts deftly navigates the waters surrounding San Juan Island, imparting knowledge of marine wildlife to paddlers. Guides not only skim the region?s waterways, but lead expeditions across the islands during multiday tours. Groups may paddle along remote islands in search of seabirds and lost tugboat captains, and then hop on bicycles to pedal down rural back roads dotted with lavender and alpaca farms.
We are a friendly, family-oriented, community based fitness center, offering a safe and fun place to bring your child while you work out.
CDR's woodsy Oak Harbor battleground provides an ideal landscape for furious paint-powered skirmishes and chromatic combat. Two full-sized airball fields with felt turf furnish the terrain, as does a woodsball field featuring buildings, brush cover, vehicles, and protective bunkers. Gallantly leap over fallen firs, cross the wooden bridge, and risk becoming a canvas to save a fellow warrior, then feel free to immortalize the triumph by inscribing your family crest into the trunk of an enemy tree. CDR Sports Paintball Park is open to prospective markers on Saturdays and Sundays.


text: Egads! 2lb and 5 lb bottles. Forget that. I get mine from Dutch Gold Honey. They sell in bulk. I just got 63 lbs of orange blossom honey for $95, including shipping. They're very reasonable on shipping, they just use UPS. The honey stays under the 70lb price increase. They also have a really nice selection, and they're FAST. Got mine in two days. However, make sure you follow up internet orders with a phone call. My last order got stuck on their server, and after a few weeks of not getting my stuff, I called them and found out the problem. Of course, you could just call and order over the phone. The staff are quite friendly and helpful.

I believe that if God said Jonah was swallowed by a mino it would be true
Wesley Ledbetter's comment on 2014-09-01 10:42:10:
Why not angels? people refuse to see things as they are the only other race we know is angels and there was a legion of them in the beginning god walk thee earth so if he did it? Why not them we lost communication in contact with God because of sinand if you read a little bit more you will find out so did the angelsI have read the secrets of Enoch the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Lost books of the Bible The Lost books of Moses 5,6,7. The Book of Lilith the secrets of Solomon the problem is people are just selfish and stuck in their own ways. nor do we have open mind. I could have wrote a whole lot of scriptures but for what read it for yourself and get your own understanding
Kristen's comment on 2014-07-26 19:40:59:
I believe what Butch has said to be as close to the truth. It explains things spoofed off as myths to be facts. Including the pyramids, the giants fought by David, Joshua, etc. Skeletal remains have been found all over the planet of 10 foot larger. Elijah was taken away by a chariot of fire UFO? Endtime prophecy with DNA tampering by demonic influence to destroy mankind. Look around you an see it
Liberty's comment on 2014-05-28 09:15:23:
Is there any place in the bible where women are regarded as daughters of God? In acknowledging the position Man occupies in the hierarchy of creation, he is Called Son of God. while woman that was form from the man, is described as daughters of men. Angels have never been described as son of God. for unto which of the angels saith he at any time, thou art my son? the angels are created as servants or ministering spirit and have no male or female organ. man is created as son, Lk 3.38
Cosmos M. Sosibo's comment on 2014-03-12 02:34:03:
I believe that the sons of God referred to in Genesis 6 are angels that were in the process of falling from that status to demonic They are fallen angels who were trying to deceive the whole humanity and that are also referred to in Jude 1 6 7
Mystical's comment on 2014-02-10 15:32:57:
I believe the Sons of God to be those born from the line of Adam i believe the daughters of man were those created on the 6th day Gen1 27 God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him male and female He created them
Jason's comment on 2014-01-15 01:26:50:
I fell into this trap by thinking it was the angels that slept with women, it was there in my face, i argued with people cause i was so convinced that i was right and that angels did have sex, but then i actually started to study and look it up for myself, with prayer and study, God has shown me that angels having sex is a false doctrine, theres loads of scripture that will prove this doctrine wrong. when Jesus drove out demons, does the bible say He drove out Sons of God..nope. It is heresey!! Seek and you will find.
Winter's comment on 2013-12-30 20:34:27:
There are two arguments here. Seth and cain's kids v.s. angels and man's kids. For those who have chose a view i entreat you to ignore your opinion and read the verse in genesis, then fully study out the view point of the one you DO NOT believe. Read every pro-argument against your standing on the subject then and only then compare your original belief. By then regardless of your original standing you will be an expert in both views as well as obtaining the blaring truth of which actually took place...christ said the truth will set you free. Enjoy:)
Thomas Vargheese's comment on 2013-11-28 08:24:50:
Only the earthly creatures were created as male and female, not the angels. Devils are fallen "angels" who were neither male nor female in the worldly sense. Therefore neither the angels in heaven nor the fallen angels have any sex interests. Moreover, the rebellious angels can never be called "sons of God". The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have "sex" with the angels who visited Lot, not because the angels desired so, but those brutish men thought that they were real men. So the only rational explanation is that the lineage of Seth was described here as the "sons of God" that of Cain as the "daughters of men".
Victor's comment on 2012-11-22 02:26:37:
The Bible is clear on its say, angels were the fellows watchers, the sons of GOD in which they took wives and bore the nephilims the hybrid babies.
Pete's comment on 2012-07-24 23:03:02:
they were an alien race that had sex with our women and produced "men of renown".
Mike Rogers's comment on 2012-07-21 10:15:48:
hi, could you explane Gen.6:2
thank you
Hamton's comment on 2012-06-05 07:59:07:
Butch is right and he delineated his reasoning directly from unmolested scripture. You and another poster stated how your reasoning is short-sighted in each of your own statements. You said, "The LORD HIMSELF stated [...are like the angels in Heaven who neither marry...]. Exactly-in Heaven. Why is Cain not mentioned in Adam's lineage? Also, if you notice, Cain's sons became the fathers of all worldly things-metal working, music, etc. Where did they get the knowledge to do so if Cain was hidden from God? Further, the same "Sons of God" are spoken of in the old and new testament in reference to fallen angels.
Nowhere in the Bible does it ever say that all angels are in heaven or that they cannot conform to earthly bodies (see Sodom and Gomorrah where they tried to rape the angels).
Lonnie's comment on 2012-05-17 15:42:23:
Butch is right. Basically Wesley is saying that the godly line (Seth) mingled with the ungodly cain and this union produced giants. There is no godly line, if the line of seth is so godly then how come Noah and his family were the only ones on the ark? I believe the sons of God are angels no other interpretation makes sense.
Lightening's comment on 2012-05-04 20:18:03:
Butch: Jennifer and Wesley have it right. You do greatly err knowing neither the Scripture nor the power of God...for those who die in Christ are like the angels in Heaven who neither marry nor are given away in marriage. You never read that passage did you? The LORD HIMSELF stated this. If fallen angels are called by Scripture "the sons of God" then there is no reason for a Savior to go to the cross and die for our sins. Ya knucklehead.
Butch's comment on 2011-07-24 09:33:13:
sorry, jennifer, both you and wesley are way off. do you know the only reason that interpretation was used was because people just found it too incredible? but isnt the Bible filled with the incredible? angels were not supposed to, but these were FALLEN angels, who were attempting to contaminate the human bloodline and stave off the birth of Jesus. you'll notice that noah is described as "perfect in his generations", meaning exactly what it says, his bloodline was not polluted. even jude 1:6-7 says 6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire". so yes angels are not supposed to have sex w/ humans but these guys did and were punished. the "myths" of zeus, apollo, and hercules were all true. the fallen angels claimed to be gods and the people worshipped them. the giants were called "heroes, men of renown". nothing i say is unBiblical. the Bible doesnt get into it but the inferences are there. the book of enoch is more descriptive. the book of enoch is considered apochrapal because of its subject matter and was taken out of the Bible by the catholic church. but several copies of the book of enoch were found w/ the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Jennifer's comment on 2011-02-08 01:39:08:
Wesley did just fine explaining this verse. Angels have never in scripture, or other wise, had sexual relations...
Joe's comment on 2011-02-05 21:56:43:
I don't know ,but I think the angels do they are masculine in gender, but they are sexless, how could it they be married with human? I need to study more about these verse.
Butch's comment on 2011-01-27 07:06:44:
good old wesley has the translation all wrong. there are no "sons of seth" or "daughters of cain". the sons of God are fallen angels who forsook their heavenly estate and had sex w/ human women, producing evil, deformed giants. this was an abomination in the eyes of God and was one of the reasons God destroyed the earth w/ the flood because the fallen angels had corrupted the human bloodline.
Jeff Cornett's comment on 2010-10-27 08:27:02:
I believe that the sons of God were angels and that they took wives and produced children. Jude 1:6. This is scripture that is very confusing and needs more clarity. The book of Job speaks of these sons of God as well.

text: I interviewed Colum Caldwell today, president and CEO of Optimal Geomatics, a company that provides aerial surveys and LiDAR data acquisition for the electric power and gas utility industry. These industries are the backbone of geospatial data technology and represent the traditional and staid, not necessarily ones to be early adopters of the new and fashionable. But still, Mr. Caldwell shared with me another piece of ancecdotal evidence that Google's reach into all aspects of geospatial technology is daunting. One of his customers asked Optimal to mashup a visualization tool using Google Maps. Now that from one of the traditional mainstays who probably prefer spreadsheets and charts is just another data point of Google's influence in the geospatial community. What's next…CAD drawings with Google Maps?

Sorry, for being not being in touch I have just been riding my Haro like crazy. I was wondering what a Scott Nitrous 10 would be worth? I am looking at a used one for $900 deal or no deal? I have no experience with this brand but the reviews seem to be good. The guy looks to be a motivated sell and he might come down a little.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Gallery: SkyLab Architecture's Wastewater Facility for Portland, Oregon...
The downward plane aids the drainage of the landscaped roof, directing runoff water into a berm. On the South facade bioswales will return stormwater to the Columbia Slough.
Portland City Council approved a bid from Skanska USA to construct the $6.7 million support facility back in May 2012, and the new facility will provide offices for the Bureau of Environmental Services engineering and construction management staff. The City of Portland's green building policy has been a driving force behind the desire to gain LEED Gold accreditation. The free-flowing interior layout of offices, meeting spaces, conference rooms and training facilities is said to provide an open and collaborative working environment for the CBWTSF staff.

iLost My Mind, new images and information – ***SPOILERS!***
Hiya! It's me, BabelLeef, returned after my introductory post. I realised that I'd better write an actual blog post…
So, these are some new pictures I have collected from around the web for the new iCarly episode, iLost My Mind… but you see, I actually got a few from two other blog posts. I have no idea whether that is completely against the rules, so, instead, I'll apologise for 'stealing' them, and credit them now:
Thank you SlickNickShady for posting casting information on your blog, and thank you to the author of the blog: You N e v e r Know, JJ, for the pictures of some new scenes from iLost My Mind.
Okay, here goes! SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT!
I am honestly just guessing the order of the following pictures, as no one knows anything about the timeline of the episode (well, apart from Dan and the crew!)
But… hey, wait a second – isn't this news of someone helping the iCarly team in their security problem? (HUGE SCARY PATIENT)
Look what else! Two 'Seddiers'… that have special recognition. That, from my point of view, means they make a difference to the plot somehow. Putting two and two together, all I can see is a great purple flashing SEDDIE (aka – YAY!)
Wow. This episode is too good to be true. It couldn't get any better, could it? No? I'm WRONG? Tell me, what else could possibly happen to make this episode better?
I don't know about you, but I LOVE Nora – I sympathise with her – NOT EMPATHISE (I'm not a complete psycho, okay?) :)
And just one more little thing that I discovered for myself… this is from the predicted 2012 episode, iMeet the First Lady, guest-starring the amazing Michelle Obama.
That's all from me until maybe later in July (I'm on holiday) but after all of these new spoilers, I CAN NOT WAIT until iLost My Mind in August. But REMEMBER! Don't wish the summer away – enjoy every moment up to iLost My Mind, and then after.
Au revoir, mes petites tortues.
BabelLeef x
Text to be read by every Seddier
Hello, everyone. Today, I'm here to talk about a thing that has been causing some debate on Twitter and Tumblr.
On June 18th, Dan Schneider tweeted this:
Immediately after that, a quarrel emerged amazingly fast. People are speculating to which episode the sequel is for. Some Seddiers are saying it's to iSaved Your Life, a notable Creddie episode. Here you'll find my review to this episode.
So I saw a Twitlonger post that made SO MUCH sense, I had to post it.
To the people freaking out about the possible iSYL sequel:
Dan said that the sequel he's writing is for an episode that was very popular, but it doesn't necessarily have to be popular in, ratings, but it could be popular among the fans.
Think about it. iOMG wasn't the most high viewed episode with ratings, but in my opinion, I think it was the most popular episode for the fans. (Although the sequel to this episode is iLMM) There are other episodes too, like iReunite with Missy, iTwins, iDate a Bad Boy, etc. and even though they didn't get the most views in an episode, doesn't mean that they aren't popular.
I think that Dan could mean that the episode wasn't just popular in ratings, but many fans enjoyed it, and it's popularity increased.
Dan could just be messing with us, because he wasn't 100% specific to whether he meant ratings wise or fan wise.
And if I'm wrong, if the episode is based on iSYL, to be honest, I don't think the episode will confirm Carly and Freddie dating. I just don't find it possible and right for Dan to go from Seddie and switch right over Creddie, since Sam's in love with him, and I just will find the whole Seddie/Creddie love triangle to be overwhelming! (This is just an opinion, and I don't know what Dan has up to his sleeve.)
Also, iSYL doesn't have to mean Carly and Freddie date, but I think we need to get Creddie out of the way for Seddie to happen. Sam could be worried that Freddie might still be in love with Carly, but the episode could confirm whether or not Freddie loves Carly. In this case, I don't find Freddie to be in love with Carly. (I don't think he's still in love with Carly and I think he's moved on, from what we seen in the late iCarly episodes this season, but I'm slightly biased over here.)
I think in order for Seddie to be 100% endgame, we have to get Creddie out of the way first. I'm not meaning to offend any Creddiers here, because the episode could go either way with either Freddie still being in love with Carly, and Carly having feelings for Freddie, or Freddie and Carly instead of them having feelings for each other, them valuing their friendship, and Freddie still being with Sam. :)
I just don't think that Creddie happening is very realistic since we're getting the Seddie arc. It would crush many fan's dreams with Dan switching back and forth!
Also, Dan added the question: "Will Freddie somehow end up dating Carly?" in his blog, THE NEXT DAY, after he got some hate mail and rants from the Creddie fans. I don't think he has Creddie in his mind at all.
This isn't a rant, this is just my opinion, based on a Seddie POV of what could happen, and to keep our spirits up! :)
Thank you to xxibiancaxx for letting me post this. Thank you!
Greetings to you!
Hi, it's BabelLeef here, and basically, I'm going to help RobSp1derp1g with his iCarly reviews, and add my own input and opinion about Seddie. I think that's what I'm doing, anyway…
Sorry, I'm quite new to these WordPress things…
Anyway, I hope to write some more 'official' comments and reviews soon. This was just a little introductory post, so you can get to know me :)
See you soon!
Credde-based iSpeed Date Seddie theory
As many of you know, in iSpeed Date, Sam sees Carly and Freddie dancing at the Groovy Smoothie…
As many of you also know, the episode was cut for several reasons. One of the things we didn't get to see in iSpeed Date was the kiss scene, which almost happened, but was cut in favor of continuity. So what if Sam's reaction was to that kiss we never got to see?
Think about it.
Why Sam is in love with Freddie
It's an established fact that Samantha Puckett is in love with Freddie Benson. What many people don't get is why. Well, I believe I bring an answer.
It was said in iParty with Victorious that Sam's dad pulled a "Mr. Muntz", that is, he left his wife and daughters without any explanation. While Nelson's dad, the aforementioned Mr. Muntz, left, he said he was going to buy cigarettes, but never came back.
If one takes a look at Sam's relationships from a psychological point of view, you can see a pattern. There was Eric Moseby, also known as Noseby Moseby, who bought Sam's love. Well, he was kinda leasing it, but the effect's the same.
Then, we have Jonah, a guy who didn't care about her, and pretty much, used her to get to Carly. That would get anyone pretty upset.
Following him, we get Reuben. He was not in love with Sam, it was more of a crush. Besides, the language barrier was too much of a problem.
After Reuben, there is Shane, played by that guy from that band. He was the reason for a competition between the girls, which caused them not to fight over a boy again. It's underlined, so it's important.
Now, we have Pete. Pete caused Sam to change, both inside and out. She didn't want it, but she thought it would make her happy, so she complied. And it turned out to be pointless.
Spencer is something different, but the same. Sam said she had a crush on Spencer, but the age gap is too wide. Besides, it was never mentioned again.
I'm not talking about Brad, I feel there's no need for that.
Carly and Freddie are the only people that have never left her, that always supported her and gave her the courage to carry on. But Sam isn't into other girls.
Freddie always supported her, he gave up a cruise to make her happy, cheered her on, helped save her life and, somewhere during the show, she started relying more on him than on Carly.
Give me your opinions on this, please. I want to know what you, my readers, think.
RobSp1derp1g out.
Am I dead? 'Cause this seems like heaven…
There is a place where everything is good. Where there is no pain, no harm, and everyone is happy.
Some call it Heaven, some call it Nirvanna (2 n's), others call it Capeside, Massachusetts.
Its true name is, Seddieland, also known as Seddie Heaven. Located around Seattle, Washington.
Why I say this? Take a look:
This is the official promo for the episode I saw while on the future. And the promo STILL gets to me…
And I'll be a good friend and over-analyze it, like I did with the iOMG one!
Let's get to work!
We are shown a part of the iOMG kiss. Then, the drama, so to speak, begins.
"Nothing will prepare you for what happens NEXT!" I disagree. Time travel does.
You can see what happens here, Sam is behind a door with a glass window. This could be the Troubled Waters Mental Hospital.
"This August…" It's my birthday!!
Mrs. Benson hired a P.I. A so not-unlike-her thing to do. And he's fully equipped, complete with raincoat, sunglasses and hat.
Freddie's dating Sam… Oh, and you're gonna love this:
It's safe to say that Mrs. Benson doesn't want Sam and Freddie to be together. But that doesn't make her a Creddie shipper.
And another thing, or rather, two things:
You can see both Sam and Freddie going in for a kiss. Both Sam and Freddie are okay with it, and we can perceive that the iOMG kiss is no longer a problem at all. Also, Carly's happy. Not "meh" happy, she's genuinely happy.
"Are Sam and Freddie in love?"
"Sam loves Freddie! Sam loves Freddie!" This scene seems to me that it is before the previous scene.
"Will Carly keep them together?"
"I'm just supposed to sit here and wait for you guys to have a fight so I can settle it?"
"Pretty much!"
"We'd really appreciate it…" I can't, for the life of me, do two things. Figure out how they get there, and not laugh when I hear this line…
"And the biggest question of all…" Have I lost my mind?
Lookie here:
Carly has her arms up in the first pic, but she's not forcing them to kiss… If she was, Sam wouldn't have her hand on Freddie's forearm… Think about it.
Coming on August, 2011.
Amazing! Be ready!!
And I said there'd be a HUGE REVELATION on this post. Well, follow my train of thought.
The purple restaurant scene and the one where they are kissing in the kitchen were shot on the first week of production. The Troubled Waters Mental Hospital scenes were shot on the second. This leads me to say that this MIGHT be a 40-minute episode.
RobSp1derp1g out!!
Here at RobSp1derp1g's iCarly Reviews, we don't know the meaning of the word "stop". So, if we find something even remotely interesting, we jump right on it, with my faithful companion, Phoebe, and my trademark shovel.
This time, we found ourselves some really awesome news. This is a piece of news that completely rocks the free world, though not like iOMG.
Having said this, I will now announce the spoiler. This spoiler is not to be taken lightly.
The First Lady of the United States, or FLOTUS1, as her nickname on the Simpsons, will guest star on iCarly! It's not every day that a renowned world figure will guest star on a show like iCarly.
To this I say only one thing, The Land of the Free and The Home of the Brave!
And now, I wanted to leave you with a version of the Star-Sprangled Banner played on an electric guitar, but I couldn't embed it on the blog.
