Men's Fashion Advice – Choosing a Pair of Jeans for Winter Weather
When the winter brings in the bitter cold weather, the type of jeans that you choose can be the difference between being warm and dry or feeling like a popsicle. The things that you want to take into consideration are the materials and the fit.
In choosing a pair of jeans that is "cold proof", you want to select one that has heavier feeling denim. The heavier the denim, the less likely it will be that the wind and cold will be able to penetrate through your pants. Fortunately, there are online clothing retailers, e.g. Jonathan Trumbull, that understand this need and can accommodate us gents with reasonable prices.
One great example of heavyweight 100% cotton jeans for men readily available for online purchase are the Loose Fit Five-Pocket Jeans by Eddie Bauer. They are constructed in traditional jean styling, but are made of 13.5 ounce cotton denim. If you are looking for something that has a little more insulation, Eddie Bauer also makes a classic and relaxed fit flannel lined jean for the same price.
The second thing that you need to consider in selecting the right jean for winter is the fit. When your trousers are a little on the looser side around the thighs and the calves, there is a small pocket of air between your skin and the material. This pocket of air is heated by the temperature of your body and serves as insulation between you and the jean, so even though the jean itself will be cold from the outside, it will feel warmer on the inside. However, if you have any sort of draft down through the waistline or in through the pant cuffs, it won't apply. So, your best bet is to select a pair of jeans that fits good in the waist and be relaxed or loose fitting throughout the legs with a length that will cover the top of your shoes.
Men's Fashion Advice – End of the summer sales
If you are the kind of guy who likes great quality clothing, but doesn't want to pay full price, then now is the time of year to start looking for items to add to your wardrobe. The "end of the season sales" can be the best time to stock up on essentials for next season or just pick up that piece of clothing that you have had your eye on, but didn't want to top dollar for.
For example, at bergdorfgoodman.com there is a classic denim blazer by Michael Kors that is located in the men's sale section. It has a notched lapel, a welt chest pocket, two flap pockets, a two button closure, and comes in a versatile indigo cotton denim. This is a great casual item that was originally $495, but has been marked down to $222.
Men's Fashion Advice: Faded jeans or dark tones: Which ones will rock next year?
We all know that jeans are a classic staple in men's fashion. Jeans for men are always in style, and always an important part of a man's wardrobe. Denim styles are constantly changing, but the importance of a good pair of jeans in a man's fashion rotation will never go away. So what jeans should you be wearing next year? When it comes to your jeans, the options are as varied as your imagination. Dark jeans, faded, distressed, torn, slim fit, wider leg, colored, and so on. What pair of jeans you should wear depends on the occasion, season, and your mood. Your personal style can influence your denim choices, but if you are a fashion conscious individual, you want to make sure you're up to date. We'll provide you with the knowledge you need about mens designer jeans, so you can make the best choice possible.
Dark wash jeans should be a wardrobe staple. A dark wash is forever flattering, and, while jeans are by no means formal wear, definitely makes for dressier pant than a faded pair of jeans. Dark jeans are slimming and create a sleek, stylish look. You can dress down your dark wash jeans during the day with a simple fitted t-shirt or a casual button down. Throw a sport coat or a sweater on for evening, and you're ready to hit the town. You can keep this look simple or accessorize with a scarf hat, sunglasses, and so on. Dark jeans are great for any activity- from kicking around town to date night. Jeans are perfect year round, and dark jeans work perfectly for all seasons.
A Different Look: A Girl's Guide to Men's Denim Done Right
Guest post by Alessia
We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl (yes, I'm quoting Madonna, let's move on). To deny it would be to lie. It's the reason so many movies exist with the same premise: a popular girl taking a helplessly nerdy guy, dressing him like a popular guy and the two eventually fall in love 'cause his new-found popularity brought them together. It's the reason an ordinary guy would never try to pick up Lady Gaga, because her Kermit the Frog dresses, hair bows and general S&M attire make her terribly unapproachable and intimidating.
So what's the reason? Simply put, clothes matter.
If you haven't already noticed, it's kind of the focus of this whole little blog. Now I'm not saying that Gaga would ever want to be approached by any putz off the streets, 'cause, let's face it, she's Gaga. However, when it comes to the ordinary men of the world who do not want to appear to women as the male equivalents of Gaga (i.e. aesthetically off-putting), carefully chosen, lady-approved outfits must be implemented.
This is where denim comes in- more specifically, denim by rock revival jeans. Most men turn to a pair of jeans as their go-to outfit, mostly because they're an easy and low-maintenance outfit. This is true, but only if denim is done right. A bad fit, a tacky wash or unnecessary, awkward designs can make for denim disasters. Enter Rock Revival. This is denim that can be considered both exclusively casual and more formal. Boasting superior fits and premium fabrics, good-looking jeans have never felt better on you. What makes the brand special, however, truly is their signature designs, which are featured heavily enough to make your jeans special, but are understated enough to ensure that the jeans aren't wearing you.
Take it from a girl- Rock Revival is a sure-fire way to make you not look like a fool. Visit Luello.com to view denim by Rock Revival.
Musings on Men's Fashion – Review of Bowie Jeans by Kasil Workshop
Every so often, I am awarded the chance to review merchandise that leaves me awe-struck and wanting more. The Bowie jeans from the renowned denim brand Kasil Workshop are one such piece. Let me explain my enamor to you now so you can start saving up for a pair of your own, 'cause you need one.
First, although these jeans are pretty damn slim, they aren't constrictive on the legs or the pelvis, which is my quintessential beef with skinny denim at large. Praise form-fitting! On top of that, the denim itself is super-soft and almost pliable, which not only helps them be more comfortable, but also makes the process of cuffing that much easier.
Thirdly, and this goes without saying, the stitching is top notch and the waist perfectly matches my waistline. Again, I'm head-over-heels in love with these jeans and I think you'd fall for them as well. Be sure to give their newest collection a gander at the Kasiljean Official Shop.
Gents, remember to check out our contest for a $3,000 diamond cufflinks!!!

Lesson #84: Skinny jeans advisory
INFEASIBLE: Unisex skinny jeans
Even if hipsters hadn't stripped us of the privilege to wear skinny jeans, unisex skinny jeans like these from Kill City would still be a dreadful idea. For like the billionth time, women can wear men's jeans but not vice-versa and no in-betweens period. That and these in particular look like someone spilled milk all over them.
Feasible: Selvage, somewhat stretchy skinny jeans
In the distant future, maybe in a post-scarcity society run by cute robots and androgynes, the remaining men will shamelessly wear Nudie's like the one featured above. Don't hold your breath though.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
The name Booby Trap Love Stuff connotes a certain level of trashiness. Although it's shaped like a cottage and customers enter through castle-like wooden doors, they have to flash an ID before they can behold rows of phallic objects and feather boas.
But the Fort Lauderdale store, located 397 feet from a Poinciana Park swing set, isn't legally considered an "adult establishment." If it were, it would be too close to the playground under a Fort Lauderdale city ordinance that treats sex stores like sex offenders, requiring erotic shops to stay 500 feet away from parks, churches, schools, or residential areas.
Luckily, the Booby Trap Love Stuff has found a loophole to keep its prime real estate on SE 21st Street. Upstairs, customers can find tons of material that's far from erotic. At least 120 VHS tapes of an X-Men show sit collecting dust next to workout videos by Regis Philbin, a tutorial called How to Dry Foods, and a stack of Baby Mozart cassettes. The upper half of Booby Trap Love Stuff is like a parody of a garage sale; most of the items there are unlikely to ever sell. It's doubtful they could even give away — in a lifetime — the 374 copies of Christmas Classics: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
2075 S. Federal Highway
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
Category: Retail
Region: Fort Lauderdale
There's a simple reason: As long as adult material makes up less than 30 percent of displayed items, Fort Lauderdale doesn't consider a store to be "adult."
That doesn't fly in Miami, where stores proffering just one "adult object" get the dreaded D2 zoning category that relegates them to the outskirts of town, according to Vincent Rodriguez, a building specialist for the city. He also notes that this distinction between adult and family-friendly retail establishment didn't exist three years ago, as far as the city was concerned. Businesses that existed before the rules changed weren't forced to move.
At the Booby Trap Love Stuff, an employee named John who has worked at the store for ten years was quick to point out that his establishment isn't an adult store. Indeed — exterior neon signs advertise only the vague "VIDEO," which could mean anything, really. Lingerie doesn't count as an "adult item," John says, nor does lubricant.
As he puts it: "Basically anything that isn't shaped like a penis" is considered part of the nonadult merchandise. He estimates only about 20 percent of the items on display are considered erotic by the City of Fort Lauderdale.

I miss Yardley too! I get a little lump in my throat whenever I drive by. I think of the many, many nights I worked around the store until 1:00am and watched the traffic ride by. I think of the events we had fun with and the many holiday seasons that we crammed into it! I think of my window changes and the approval of the towns people.
Yep, I miss Yardley! *sigh*

1) How to get the backupped files to the new server and how to unpack them?
Why backup /etc? If you restore on a new server you will get problems?
2) Should I use

to backup db's? How to get this file to new server and how to import them back on the new server?
Tnx, Rudolf.

Copy only the lines of the users and groups, not the whole files! and make a backup of the files before you change them.
6) restore the contents of /var/vmail and /var/www on the new server.
7) restore the databases of the clients
8) Login to ispconfig, go to tools > resync, check all checkboxes and click on start and wait a few minutes to let ispconfig write missing config files.

Source: Sell-Side Technology | 17 Aug 2011
Categories: Latency
Topics: NYSE Euronext
To lower latency and improve the performance of its 10 Gbps network infrastructure in its Mahwah, NJ, and Basildon, UK, datacenters, NYSE Euronext has deployed a middleware and network interface card (NIC) combination from Solarflare, according to vendor officials.
During the first quarter of this year, NYSE Euronext started using the vendor's Solarflare SFN5122F 10GbE sever adapters and EnterpriseOpenOnload software to handle the exchange's market data feed handlers and trade messaging, says Russell Stern, CEO of Solarflare.
The EnterpriseOpenOnload platform loads as a library into the system and provides applications with a direct path to the network, avoiding the networking stack.
"If a message needs to make a network call, that process would include creating an interrupt and content switches, and performing memory flushes," says Stern. "All of these things tend to add a lot of latency and latency jitter."
Currently Solarflare offers two versions of its middleware platform: EnterpriseOpenOnload, which is hardened for enterprise use, and OpenOnload, an open source distribution. "The main difference between the two platforms is that the enterprise version is released more slowly since enterprise users need more time to address change confirmations and validations," Stern explains.

From Bill2 post #4 works just fine for me.

Peter, I didnt see any mention of what results you DO get--any error? just nothing? Also, are you using a desktop shortcut, or a "pinned to the taskbar" shortcut? I have found some small differences in the way a desktop shortcut responds compared to a Pinned shortcut.
It almost sounds as if you maybe do not have permission to C: on that computer. Grasping at straws, I doubt it will make any difference, but I have been using this:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe /select,c:\users
Thanks for the reply. I'm using a shortcut pinned to the taskbar but I've tried a shortcut on the desktop and I get the same result.
I do not get any error message. When I click the shortcut it looks like Explorer is starting to run but it never happens. If I look in Task Manager Processes I see the usual Explorer listed there plus a second one that uses only around 2K of memory. That's the one that started to load but didn't make it.
I also thought it sounded like a permissions or ownership problem but I've checked all of that and all seems to be as it should. I'm still not ruling that out but I don't know what else to check.
One other odd thing about this ... when I click the taskbar shortcut and Explorer does not open if I then repeatedly click the shortcut more often than not eventually it does open -- after maybe 5-7 clicks or so.
And every once in a while it all behaves as it should. I click the shortcut and Explorer opens (but that's rare).

Peter, did you say early on, implied at least, that if you use the default properties Target string, without the "/e," it works OK?
What happens if you run a commandline window and use the same string (or variations) there? Also, did you try swapping mice with another computer? That intermittent thing sure sounds like hardware, or at least a driver issue.

It came to me in a dream, that (in the old days) the "/e" was only there to open with the folder tree shown, because the default was to open explorer with only the contents pane. But the new version of Explorer remembers that I want the folder tree shown, so this seems to do what I want also (no "/e", no ",").

I've tried everything I can think of but no change on this one PC. Explorer works perfectly on my other PCs. So clearly the problem is some setting on this PC.
Without any command line options Explorer works but with the command line option it works only occasionally (again, just on this one PC).
I don't even know where to go fishing to find the cause of that.
|My System Specs

Well, it is something wrong with that machine. Not sure it is a setting. Did you try SFC like Bill2 recommended?
Since it seems intermittent, maybe it is hardware. did you try Windows Memory Diagnostic?
Are you ready for the nuclear option? (format and clean install)

This is a fairly new (2 months) install so I'm not ready to do it again yet. My recollection is that I did not have this problem when I first setup Win7 on this machine. It started a couple of weeks later. So I really think it's something I did - some setting that I accidentally set wrong.

First, sorry for my bad english
I had exactly the same problem as pmokover.
It seems to be a problem with something related to user profile. I added a new user. I login into this user and windows explorer works as expected. I solved the problem deleting the user account and creating a new one. This is not a good solution but solve the problem (before deleting user account remember to backup your important files).
Possibly the origin of the problem is a misconfiguration in the windows registry. Perhaps with some tool that repare windows registry would be possible to restore correct behaviour of windows explorer...

(Netflix article updated from Wednesday, Jan. 27, with Thursday's Netflix stock movement, analyst commentary and other news related to Netflix competitors.)
SAN FRANCISCO ( TheStreet) -- Netflix (NFLX) is proving that it has room to grow, announcing on Wednesday that it added more than 1 million new subscribers during the fourth quarter.
The news prompted several brokerage firms to lift their rating on the stocks. As a result, shares of the company are soaring 21.5% on Thursday morning to $61.55. Earlier in the day the stock reached an all-time high of $63.85.
Analyst Barton Crockett of Lazard Capital Markets upped his rating to hold from sell, saying he was surprised that the company's churn, or the percentage subscriber cancellations, declined in the quarter.Churn fell to 3.9% from 4.2% during the quarter. Wedbush Morgan Securities also raised its rating to neutral from underperform and its price target to $60 from $50. The streaming movie and DVD-by-mail pioneer reached 12.3 million subscribers in during the quarter, after its biggest three-month gain in the 11-year history of the company. And Netflix expects to end 2010 with between 15.5 million to 16.3 million subscribers. During the quarter, Netflix earned $30.9 million, or 56 cents a share, a 36% rise from $22.7 million, or 38 cents, in the year-ago period.

As Marilyn Brown remarked, it seems to take a suite of models to examine the complexities of the numerous policy interactions. Several participants discussed early ongoing efforts to link models and address some of these issues. Three important issues that were continually cited as being critical to the ultimate success of mitigation efforts: offsets, transportation, and air quality.
Brian Murray remarked that modeling has shown that offsets are critical to the cost of mitigation policies, but questioned how well offset programs were being modeled. A 2005 EPA analysis suggested that the largest source of offsets in the U.S. domestic market will come from agriculture and forestry (EPA, 2005). Analysts have attempted to incorporate some realism into their estimates, recognizing that certain activities may be slow to come to fruition. But there are several issues that bear watching, to improve understanding of the institutional realities of registering, establishing baselines, and certifying projects. He also underscored that opening up to the international market can reduce costs significantly (Figure 6)—much of this potential is in reducing deforestation in tropical countries. Tim Profeta echoed the need to understand the availability of offsets since this is a major determinant of cost, but he also advised caution when modeling international offsets, which requires an international infrastructure that is not yet ready to deliver. He also suggested that more work could be done to understand and then communicate the effect of delayed availability for domestic (U.S.) offsets.
Brian Murray explained that the recent surge in biofuel production, and the targets that have been set in the United States out to 2030, have fundamentally altered the forest and agriculture models—these changes are significant enough to create problems for the mathematical programming framework underpinning the models. Bob Shackleton echoed the need for better information on availability and costs of offsets from a variety of sources of non-CO2 GHGs—he stated that EPA's cost curves, which most modelers use, are a good foundation but are insufficient. According to CBO's recent analysis, 40 percent of GHG emission reductions were attributed to offsets, which lowered the carbon price by 30 percent, an issue that will be critical to moderating policy costs in the early years (CBO, 2008).

Last i checked you cant be banned for not playing the Meta.. He didnt play the meta who cares? This is not worth a ban.
Junior Member
I'd of probably banned for some things you said in game 2.. game 1 you were golden.
Player Support Lead - Player Behavior
Hi Berri Bunny,
It's pretty clear to the community that you were trolling in that game.
Completely refusing to communicate with your team in champ select, and then insta-locked a very unusual jungle champion when your team already had a jungler chosen.
You might have a sliver of sympathy if this was a rare occurance, but a quick look at your report history indicates that you do this often.
Quite often in fact.
Your numerous other offenses include verbally harassing others, refusing to play with your team when you don't get your way, and giving up when your surrender vote fails and just farming non-stop to cause your team to lose.
As I we have frequently mention in the past, it takes many reports, from many games to even be considered for the tribunal. In your case, you've been reported in over 20% of the games you've played in the last 30 days.
20%... the average League of Legends player is reported in less than 1% of the games they play.
From a Riot perspective it's pretty clear to us that the Tribunal worked as intended in this case and that removing you from the game was a wise choice. What happens next is up to you.
You'll have two weeks to reflect on your past actions and even change your behaviors so that you never have to end up in the Tribunal again.
Or you can stubbornly refuse to accept the truth put before you and end up with a permanent suspension.
I wish you the best of luck.

I work in a customer facing service sector (Food Retail) and am currently involved in a programme of improving customer service in the stores within the region I work. I would like to think that I would know what "Good looks like" and use DLP as an example with my colleagues on a regular basis. The fact they don't all do the whole "have a nice day" mentality shouldn't get in the way that they do a cracking job. Litter? Always seeing people litter pick. Rudeness? I have only seen this once in our 7 visits (on a VERY busy counter top service at Casey's when being, pretty much, abused) Shabbiness of the parks? This IMO was dealt with by the amount of works for the 20th anniversary and looked cracking in November!
Now, I'm not saying that the "have a nice day" culture is wrong, but I've found that sometimes people find this a bit fake and would prefer people to genuinely care about them and their needs.
However, one of the books I am reading is called "Creating Magic" by Lee Cotterall which is about how they created a culture of service at WDW. (Lee himself was a CM making his way up to vice-president (I think) so he knows a thing or two about the business) one of the things I love, and am trying to adopt within my own store, is something he called "take 5" where a CM was allowed to take five minutes a day making a guest's visit truly unique! An example of this was a character was asked to autograph a book for x as they couldn't make it due to illness. The character then put a small note in the book wishing them well soon and that they can't wait to see them when they can come, etc.
As for the free night, I hugely doubt it as your visit wasn't affected to the point that you were severely disrupted. I would be satisfied with the PERSONAL response (which is quite rare for this type of complaint)

Reading all of these comments have made me quite sad, I think DLP is often given less credit than it should. Being compared to its American counterparts is sadly always going to happen, but what people need to realise is that it is not a US theme park, it is situated in a small country on restricted land (compared to the US especially) and it still gets people from all around the world visiting it, I think with them not making much of a profit it's hard for them to invest great sums of money
If someone told me that the US parks have never experienced maintenance or cleanliness problems I wouldn't believe them, the amount of guests each park has is unreal. For a theme park to be kept up to 110% all year around is unrealistic! And I definitely agree - the park shouldn't be blamed because so many people do not have manners or basic hygiene when it comes to toilets!
I think I can also speak for everyone when I say that we have all had a brush, however small or large, with a bad CM but I think this is life. Not every person you meet in the public sector is going to be all smiles and rainbows, and I tend to not take it personally anyway because whenever you are in another country, there are going to be cultural differences and I think this can be evident at times in Paris, wherever you go. Having spent a lot of time in France I just think this is the way a lot of people are!
It may just be my attitude anyway to smile and be extra nice to someone who is grumpy - maybe they are having a bad day and this is what they need! There are also a lot of people in DLP who work VERY hard to be polite and give you a pleasant experience, so for me I just try to focus on these people. I think so long you are polite and friendly to them no matter what- it can't ruin your trip! I think maybe some CM just do not think, a lot of them if you show genuine friendliness to reciprocate in a genuine way.

It always makes me smile when people write that something would never happen at WDW - they obviously don't read the forums for the US parks!

I have to agree with the DLP bashers in this thread.......the place is no longer what it used to be. It is disgusting in many places for many reasons and I dont care what country it is in or what lack of profits it makes it is just not acceptable. We used to do many trips but have decided against it lately because imo it has lost the little magic it had.
I also love the the cast member interaction in WDW compared to DLP, actually not entirely true......once I found a WDW cm rude, funnily enough in the french pavillion in Epcot. His co-cm told us he once worked at DLP.......thats all im saying on that.
Im keeping my fingers crossed that the magic will come back next time we decide to go.

We've had the odd bad experience with a CM over the years, but never anything to get worked up about. On our last trip 2 weeks ago we found the CMs to be an absolute joy and on plenty of occasions went out of their way to make our stay extra special, so much so that I wrote an open letter to the Disneyland Paris cast members.
I do think maintenance needs to be stepped a bit, though I'm sure Orbitron had been cleaned between our last two trips.
It's the guests that I have most complaints about. Many seem to treat the CMs like dirt and walk around with a sense of entitlement and superiority. On several occasions I almost stepped in but the CMs handled themselves with grace and patience in the face of rude and obnoxious guests.
I actually feel like DLP has turned a corner since the 20th Anniversary started and though more maintenance is needed, a lot is being done. CMs seem to be more proud of their resort and their roles within it and it's forging forward with new attractions, hotels and entertainment planned. Visitor satisfaction numbers are up as are the number of people going. I'm counting down the days until I will be returning to my happy place once again )

I just had my first visit to DLP It was actually my first visit to any of the Disney Parks I had the most amazing time I honestly couldn't fault one thing ( be coded the queues sometimes) I never saw the run down park that people are talking about. I saw the stars into sons eyes when he Met his hero I saw the smiles on our faces as we spent much needed family time together
I'm sorry the original person who posted this had a bad time Sometimes you just need to open you eyes and have at have fun

When I started reading this thread, I had no intention of commenting. I find sometimes, these discussions start to get a bit personal, but the more I read, the more I felt the need to do so.
We've been as a couple, a family of 2 Adults & 2 Children and also just myself & daughter, and I have to say, I have never had a "Low" ruin our holiday enough to expect a free night.
Over our 18 trips in 6 years, we had a trip while staying at The Cheyenne where there wasn't any water in our toilet, so couldn't flush. Went to reception, and they sent someone up within an hour to fix it. We've had mold on the tiles in a few of the bathrooms. One trip we thought it was a bit much, we went to reception, and we moved room. When staying at The Disneyland Hotel, we were quite "Perplexed" by the many white stains all over the bench thing at the end of the bed, so we put a towel over it, moved it to the corner of the room & didn't sit on it The main "Low" we've had was while staying at The Hotel New York 18 months ago. My daughters iPod went "missing" from our room. Partly our fault for not putting it in the safe, but that's not my point. We made the CMs aware, NOT accusing anyone of any wrong doing, but asked that if it was handed in after we left, could they inform us. It never turned up, but we did have correspondence with them and we eventually received the monetry value from them after producing a receipt.
There have been other niggles, that I can't even remember now, and after all these things, I would not expect anything free.
I very much liked & agreed with Florida2012 post. I always say please & Thank You at shops and food points, in this Country or on holiday. My children also say Thank You to the CMs who open the gates at the exit to rides. When we go away, or shopping for that matter, I don't want to constantly be asked if "I'm ok?" or "Is there anything I can help you with?" If I'm not ok, or want help, I'll ask
Sorry, I've gone a tad off topic

Well, I have to say that I am quite disappointed by DLP's response to the OP's complaint...seems quite defensive and just outlines what they aim for/what their priorities are...and yes there is an apology - but does not fully address the fact that certain things were noticed (even subjectively) to be lacking throughout the OP's visit. However, I think a free night is optimistic - but yep I totally would ask for something - you don't ask, you don't get. However if I had wanted something I would have put this in my original complaint to them, I would probably just leave it now as they might take another few weeks to respond anyway!
I am so hoping to go to WDW soon just to compare out of interest the whole maintenance/CM issue. Having visited DLP for 21 years (gosh I am getting old!) from a child, I have to say that I have always found the CM interaction to be poor in general, and sure the maintenance of the park isn't fantastic, but they have been operating at a loss for years. I get the sense that instead of the sense of pride people have with working at WDW, there is almost a sense of shame for locals working at DLP, given the bad press it has been given since it started being built, and I oftentimes receive better service in a random Paris cafe than I do at a sit-down restaurant in the resort. Going OT slightly, the most outrageously bad customer service I've had in the resort was just a few years ago after a major issue with my AP - long story short, I complained and managed to get a fastpass for Crush's Coaster for me and my 5 friends. However I was held in a small room in city hall, and two incredibly rude women stood over me barking 'what do you want, what do you want?' and I had to point out that they were being incredibly aggressive, no apology and their hostility was shocking, for any environment.
Obviously this is not representative of DLP's customer service - but it saddens me to say that neither is exceptional customer service. The best interactions I've always found to be on Twilight Zone, Phantom Manor and Pirates, where the magic seems to be truly alive...I hope in another 21 years this will be true across the whole resort regardless of ride, restaurant or role!

Hmmm, I don't think they are embarrassed to ve working there - it really is just down to the culture difference. Even if DLP was in the UK, you wouldn't get the in-your-face WDW style, its just not Europe. Americans are far more like this in everday life, where as we're used to the "what are you after by being nice to me attitude".
To compare the CM's is a bad choice IMHO, it won't give a good impression of DLP. They arent required to be like that in France...
I've yet to visit anywhere (theme park, Castle etc etc) that doesn't have a dirty toilet or too - some areas are high traffic and will always be dirty. If us humans flushed the loos and put paper in a bin when we've finished, half the problems would already be solved.
And what we also have to remember is that not everyone in DLP speaks English and there is every possibility if someone came up to me babbling in a language I didn't understand, and possibly looking cross, I'd more than likely look like I didn't care either :-/

Never had anything but good experiences. In fact, to add to a previous comment of hotels going out of their way to be helpful, when we last stayed at the sequoia lodge we noticed a wet patch on the carpet, the other side of the bathroom wall. We called maintenance and they sent someone up, even though it was 11pm. They found a crack in the bathroom tiles and gave us the option to change rooms but we had a greàt room with an amazing view so said we would put up with it. They could have left it at that and never done anything about it but înstead when we returned from the parks the next day not Only was the wet patch all dried up, but the tiles replaced and resealed. We didn't ask them to do this, nor did we complain to try and get anything for free.
With regards to the parks cleanliness, we were incredibly impressed that the streets and paths got cleaned every morning. And not just swept but actually washed and scrubbed. No complaints here, we even sat on the ground multiple times when there were no seats around.

Foreclosure Activity at 6-Year Low: RealtyTrac
Scheduled non-judicial foreclosure auctions (NTS) in April were down 7% from March and down 43% from April 2012 to the lowest level since December 2005 -- an 88-month low.
Lenders repossessed 34,997 U.S. properties in April, down 20% from March and down 32% from April 2012 to the lowest level since July 2007 -- a 69-month low.
While the spike in foreclosure activity in some states suggest that we are still dealing with the pain of the housing crisis, foreclosures are no longer considered a threat to the housing market.
In fact, given the shortage of housing inventory in some states, foreclosures might provide some supply to meet the growing demand for homes.

Auctioneer John Dixon: Sale Of $4.46 Million In Real Estate At Georgia Auction Points To Rising Prices
ATLANTA, Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Buyers snapped up 52 bank-owned properties Wednesday for $4.46 million in a John Dixon & Associates auction that could point to growing strength in the real estate market.
"There's no question that bidders are turning out in greater numbers, and bidding more aggressively, because they realize that prices are going up, and they want to acquire these properties while they can," said John Dixon, president of the auction company.
The auction attracted about 175 to the Robson Event Center in Gainesville for the auction of real estate in 22 Georgia counties, primarily to the north and northeast of Atlanta."We had about 80 actual registered bidders live, and another 80 listening to the auction and bidding on the Internet. About half the properties sold to Internet bidders," said Dixon. "We're seeing a broader base of buyers, including large and small investors as well as people buying for their own use, such as home sites. It'll be interesting to see if this trend holds up in our next few sales," he said. Those sales include a series of auctions Oct. 22, 23 and 25 in Atlanta, Montgomery and Orlando. Details of those and other auctions may be found at www.johndixon.com or by calling 770-425-1141. John Dixon & Associates, based in Atlanta, with offices in Tallahassee and Chattanooga, is a leading auctioneer of commercial and residential properties, including homes, home sites, land and other real estate owned by banks and individuals.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|This is a 25-track anthology of favorites by obscure rockabilly figure Glen Glenn, including "Everybody's Movin'."
|One of California's original rockabilly rebels, Glen Glenn (born Glen Troutman) was a Missouri-born kid who moved to the West Coast with his family when he was 14. Glenn grew up on jumpin' country sounds and R&B, and learned to make with the bop after Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran's early hits pointed the way. While the hillbilly side of Glenn's musical heritage never entirely escaped him, his twang-infused rock & roll sides have become prized items among rockabilly fanatics, and with good reason -- he had a great voice, an attitude that suggested he was a nice guy who also knew how to have a hepcat's good time (not unlike Ricky Nelson with the wild factor upped a few points), and his guitar-pickin' pal Gary Lambert sure knew his way around a fretboard. Glen Rocks is a typically well-assembled collection from Bear Family that pulls together most of Glenn's best vintage sides along with some rare demos and radio sessions, including the coolly stripped-down rockabilly of "Everybody's Movin'," the proto-teen idol stylings of "Kathleen," the high-attitude boogie of "If I Had Me a Woman," a prescient county-rock recording in "I Didn't Have the Sense to Go," and covers of "Be-Bop-A-Lula" and "That's Alright Mama" (the former with a hot pedal steel solo), which prove Glenn had the stuff to stand up to the competition. While Glenn has recorded some latter-day albums after he was rediscovered by British rockabilly fans, Glen Rocks has his prime original recordings in one handy package along with a fact-filled and richly illustrated 68-page booklet (featuring a biographical essay by guitarist Deke Dickerson), and if you want to hear the man at his best, this is definitely the place to go. ~ Mark Deming

Potential Contributions of Regulatory Science to Cancer Therapy
Ellen Sigal, Chair and Founder, Friends of Cancer Research, suggested key areas in cancer care that stand to benefit from increased regulatory science capacity at FDA:
ing regulatory needs. DeLauro suggested that this characterization of the agency reflects a common public sentiment.
Although FDA has unique opportunities to improve the public health through its access to a diversified workforce and a wealth of data, accomplishing this goal is a daunting task. According to Drazen, a key challenge is that the agency is often forced to "take limited data … based on small numbers of people's response to a given therapeutic approach—and determine what will happen when this therapy is unleashed to very large numbers of people."
Another challenge faced by FDA is the rapid emergence of new technologies. A theme among the speakers was that the agency currently is not supported sufficiently to deal with the masses of data that come from large investments in such areas as genomics and health information technology. At the same time, emerging technologies cannot meet the demand for new therapies without coordinated effort from regulatory bodies. The presentations summarized below focused on specific areas of emerging technology and the scientific gaps caused by the lack of strong regulatory science. Box 3-1 lists some ways in which regulatory science could contribute to the development of therapies in the specific area of cancer treatment.

High school, for any kid, is tough enough. But if you're half-human, half-Kaiju (a "monster" in the Godzilla genre), it's a mess. Cartoon Network's first original CGI movie, Firebreather, follows 16-year-old Duncan Rosenblatt (voiced by Jesse Head) as he deals with his unique appearance (scaly skin, pointy teeth, etc.), superhuman abilities, typical girl troubles and an estranged father the size of a skyscraper who now wants a relationship with his son.
Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux
Peter Chung was a director for the Nickelodeon series Rugrats when he first came up with the idea for Aeon Flux. Set in the future and following a character who is one part nihilistic assassin and one part sexually charged vixen, TV's Aeon was a slight departure from the adventures of mischievous talking babies. Ultimately, it would become Chung's contribution to MTV's experiment in adult-oriented animation called Liquid Television and would earn its own series of full-length episodes. A decade later the slinky shooter is set to make her big-screen debut in Aeon Flux, with

Review: nXZEN Plus 5500 Bluetooth earpiece
In the next few months, nearly a dozen companies will be unveiling Bluetooth stereo headphones with built-in microphones. These wireless wonders will allow cable-less enjoyment of your portable music player and cell phone. Bluetooth headsets make perfect sense in a world where MP3 players and cell phones, separately or combined, have become a fact of digital life. The nXZEN Plus 5500 digital wireless headset ($160 list) is one such headset. It aims to be a Bluetooth earpiece, a pair of headphones, and a noise-canceling device all in one.
The earpiece on this Rube Goldberg product is pretty standard. The raison d'être of this version of the nXZEN (how is that pronounced, anyway?) is to enable the creation of a "stereo" music headset for an MP3 player by connecting a separate wired earbud into a jack on top of the Bluetooth earpiece. Considering the more elegant wireless and wired solutions out there, not only is this a bad idea, it's badly executed the gadget equivalent of the Pink Panther remake.
For instance, when you're syncing the earpiece to work with your phone, you have to get the sequence right. First, you need to pair the earpiece to your cellphone before attaching the stereo earbud your phone won't pair with it attached. Then, when it is attached, you're mysteriously prevented from using the Bluetooth functions of the earpiece to answer a call, so you're left digging for your phone.
When it's operating, the earpiece gives you sonic and visual cues for the various functions, but you can't see the flashing-light cues if you're wearing it, and you can't hear the audio cues if you're holding it. And since it has no continually blinking light (like many other Bluetooth devices), you can't even tell if the earpiece is on.
Worst of all, the main earpiece and the separate earbud aren't physically or acoustically matched. It's the sonic equivalent of watching a program on a plasma TV with one eye and the same show on an adjacent rear-projection TV with the other eye.
The nXZEN Plus 5500 's big twist is supposedly its noise-canceling technology, which limits the amount of ambient sound that leaks in and muffles conversation. But considering what this product attempts and fails to accomplish, asking how well it filters out ambient noise is akin to asking Mary Lincoln how much she enjoyed Our American Cousin. Even that toilet-roll iPod speaker system makes more sense than this convoluted contraption.

"If you're going to be a part of this organization, there's a responsibility and a sense of obligation that comes with it, because in my family's mind, you're carrying our last name as well.''
— Jonathan Kraft, August 2011
The Patriots have a chance to go to the Super Bowl. The AFC is weak, and once again the tomato cans are falling down in front of the Patriots. The window for Tom Brady is closing and these golden opportunities don't come along every year.
Did you see anything over the weekend to discourage the prospect of the Patriots getting to New Orleans? New England is a 5-3 team (three losses by 4 points) at the midway point, but nobody looks great in the AFC. The Texans appear to be the top competition. The Patriots might have to win the AFC Championship game in Reliant Stadium. We'll get a good read on Houston when the Texans play at Gillette Stadium Monday, Dec. 10.
The Ravens don't scare me anymore. The Broncos are playing well and Peyton Manning looks like his old self, but John Fox cannot beat Bill Belichick. The Steelers might be coming up on the outside. They will be viewed as the new threat when the Patriots resume their season at home Sunday against the Bills.
You all know that the Patriots last week traded a fourth-round draft pick for troubled Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib. Talib can't play for the Patriots this weekend because he's finishing a four-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. Before his PED sanction, Talib had considerable trouble with teammates and cops. He is a "lawyers, guns, and money" acquisition in the spirit of Albert Haynesworth.
Most of us are OK with this now. This is professional football. It's the best vs. the best and you cannot win without talent. Young athletes make mistakes and get second, third, and fourth chances. We are used to all of this. Seasoned Patriots fans today are more likely to worry about the value of the fourth-round pick than the perception that the franchise has morphed into Oakland Raiders East.
