Have you ever found a valuble lost item and kept it?
Have you ever got a birthday pin even when it's not your birthday?...
Have you ever gotten to ride twice ina row with out going through the Que again?
Yep it was more then twice on Buzz lightyear during EMH i think it was about to close and the CM just let us stay on til park close
Have you ever gotten a fastpass for a late time and by the time it was your time there was no wait?
Yes, but I wasn't mad for long. We ended up breaking down on Dinosaur and getting to walk 75% of the track during the evacuation made up for it.
Have you ever got sick of a long queue and left mid-way through?
No, that's like running halfway through a forest and deciding to turn around. Actually, it's EXACTLY like that.
Have you ever been in any VIP lounge on property for any reason?
Nope, I'm just not VIP enough :(

Have you ever left Disney World and say you won't be back for a few years and end up going the next year?
Nope we always go every year for spring break!
Have you ever stayed for 12+ days?
No, that would bankrupt me.
Have you ever found yourself on the wrong side of the parade route... and not in the best of moods?
Thankfully, no!
Do you/have you ever exchnaged your $s for Disney $s to spend in the parks? (Or keep)
Yep, sure have!
Have you ever...given your FastPass to a perfect stranger?
Yep i don't need them so might has well enhance their day especially if it for a major ride and i have been on the only end of it.
Have you ever gone to WDW and not bought a single thing?(minus food and tickets)
In one day, I've pulled it off...in an entire WDW vacation, absolutely not...I go insane when I'm either in World of Disney or Mousegear in Epcot
Have you ever...gone to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach on the same day?
I haven't gone to either. (Too much money my first time and the last two were in January.)
Have you ever broken down on Kilimanjaro Safaris?

Reviewed Braised Pork Shanks with Mushroom Dumplings
Mar 12, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Best recipe ever! Used only 2 shanks instead of 3 as they were very large, but other than that followed the recipe exactly. Never would have thought to use mushroom soup in dumplings but they were exceptional, very moist and tender with lots of flavor. Big Daddy rocks!""

These little towels are AMAZING! I've owned one for the past 3.5 years and let me tell you, you get your bang for the buck. I love that they're inexpensive and work so well. It's long enough to reach the hard-to-get places of your back and it lathers up better than a shower pouf in my opinion. I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and thighs and I pair this with my Dove unscented bar soap and it helps keeps those pesky bumps under control. The trick to using this towel is to use a light hand; it's abrasive enough to exfoliate without having to really scrub at it. I also use this towel to exfoliate before I shave. Would definitely repurchase this again if it ever began to unravel on me.

I love the Salux. I have been using it for 6 months. And my skin has never been more smooth. I plan on giving them out as Christmas gift to all my friends. Sure, at first they will think I am very cheap (which is true) But them they thank me for turning them on to such a neat beauty product. This is a must have.

I love this magical cloth. My skin feels so soft after my shower and keeps getting softer after every use. It's inexpensive, easy to find (got mine from Amazon and it's the real deal), dries quickly, is big enough to roll up and be used to scrub your back. I also love that it doesn't make the tub & shower messy like body scrubs do. Ain't nobody got time for that!

How did I live without this for so long?! This washcloth (if you can call it that) is amazing. I have this in both the regular and the super heavy duty. I'm in my early thirties, and my skin has never felt better. I was a huge fan of Lush's Buffy, but found it relatively expensive and the tub cleanup was a mess. Regular body scrubs were hit-or-miss for me. Back brushes didn't really get a thorough scrub. With this, I have the same basic routine: Wash with Dove's Beauty Bar with the Salux (I prefer to fold it over itself a few times to make a big square) and then moisturize with Alba Botanica's Very Emollient Body Lotion. That's it. My skin stays soft and moisturized all day. I find that even the heavy duty one isn't too harsh, but it may for some people. The regular Salux I definitely don't have an issue with -- just don't scrub too hard and let the Salux do its own work! As a bonus, I love how the length of this enables a thorough and complete scrubdown, back included. Have repurchased.

I'm in love with these bath towels. I've had ezcema and dry skin all of my life and so I'm not really supposed to use shower gel or soap frequently because it dries my skin out and leaves it flaky, but after using this towel I can tell you that flaky is hardly an issue anymore!
Also I seriously get THE best shave ever when I use it on my legs before shaving. My old one got gross due to travel and I've just reordered!

More reviews by loveintheasylum
Not sure why time after time the Japanese keep blowing my mind with the stuff they create, but they just DO. I heard the buzz about this product around here, so I finally purchased a bundle of 2 for $10.76(plus free shipping!) from the official site itself, because I wanted to get the genuine article, and not a knock-off one member warned of in the reviews. Got mines 2 days later with a nice thank you card from the company (aww) and just used one a few hours ago. The packaging isnt much to write home about, standard plastic with a happy lady on the front using a Salux towel and a cute drawing on the back of an anime girl in the shower with instructions which were simple (and why would you need instructions? Just wet and use!) The towel itself is 11"x35", so pretty dang big, and made from nylon woven in an almost curly patter upon inspection which held lather well it seemed. Ok, bath time. I wrapped mines around my hand like a mitt at first, applied my Dr Bronners soap and began. It maybe "rough" for some, but it was juuuuuuuuust riiiiiight. Since the mitt idea didnt work, I folded it into a square and continued. Is this life? I rinsed and touched my skin- so SMOOTH. With my old scrubby washcloth, it got the job done but I still felt the residue. The moment of truth was my back, since I was afraid it wouldn't be long enough and I'm a little on the large side, but it did, it so did. When I got to my feet, I heard a 'squeak'. Yeah, that's how good this towel is, it will get you literally "squeaky clean". Speaking of clean, just rinse it out really well, hang it up to dry and that's it, no fuss, no muss. Post shower routine of coconut oil application and I was SOFT, like fresh out the womb, SOFT. I couldn't stop touching myself, and I still can't. I feel so..scrumptious and happy; bathing is enjoyable instead of routine. Anyway, it went above and beyond my expectations, because sometime some products are so hyped up to end up failing, but Salux did not. I spread the word to my friends and family and I am so going to stock up on more since they're so cheap. Total HG to the point I think I caught my old scrubby cloth giving Salux a jealous side eye lol

All I can say about this product is WOW. I bought it at my local H-Mart last night for $5 and used it right when I got home. I looked at reviews for suggestions on the usage (I was confused as to why the cloth itself is so long) and I scrunched it up like a loofah and poured a tiny bit of my everyday body wash liquid on it. It lathered up very well and I was able to scrub my WHOLE body with one tiny squirt of body wash. I scrub a little extra behind my thighs and I will report back with an update to see if it reduces the appearance of cellulite. But I am very impressed with this cheap cloth! I will keep buying forever!

The perfect washcloth. Mine last about a year and can be thrown in the washing machine. And even better, if you are vacationing in Hawaii, they are about $3 in the local drugstores!

Words cannot express how much I am in love with my Salux. Ever since I tried it on a whim from Amazon I have never washed with anything else.
It lather's well (I use bar soaps), rinses well and is more sanitary than any loofah or sponge. It exfoliates so well! It's kind of scratchy but I like that because it makes me feel like the dead skin is coming off. When I get out of the shower my skin feels smoother. My favorite thing about it is the ability to scrub my back using it long ways. I hated having to buy a specific tool just to wash my back but now I can do it all with just one. As said I get mine on amazon from the Salux brand itself for about $7 which is comparable to other tools out there and its significantly cheaper than the Body Shop version. It also comes in many pastel colors which is fun.

The review link on the side caught my eye as I reading reviews on eyelash curlers, and I just HAD to review these! My first contact with this cloth was way back when, to the days of teenage angst and zits in middle school. 2006, 2007? My mom just sort of passed them onto me.
Good LORD.
You get a squeakier, more even and exfoliating clean with these than if you used a regular puff loofah or whatever! Not to mention, it lathers up smoothly and luxuriously - saving you inklings body wash per use, but so, so much money in the long run.
For sufferers of keratosis pilaris something a little more abrasive than the Salux washcloth: Ayate washcloths, hard-scrubber loofahs (they soften a bit with water!), and body brushes are good ideas.
For individuals like me who always need a new way of doing things to keep things fresh and interesting, this washcloth definitely isn't vanilla. :)

Lone survivor in Talisay tragedy visits home
-A A +AThursday, October 20, 2011
CEBU CITY (Updated) -- For the first time since the tragedy last Sunday, the lone survivor of the Ponce family massacre visited their house at Palm View Village in Barangay Tabunok, Talisay City.
Two bolos were found under the double-deck bed of the slain daughters when the house was being cleaned.
Embrelaince Ponce, 13, is used to being greeted by her family each time she gets home. But on Thursday morning, only their three dogs welcomed her.
Wearing a hooded jacket, Embrelaince appeared calm throughout her stay in their house, but she did not go inside where barangay workers were clearing the crime scene.
She kept herself busy by feeding their dogs Jamal, Happy and Brown with bread.
Her mother Melinda, 53, sisters Elaine Grace, 26, and Heather Joy, 24, and her brother Emlin Bridge, 18, were shot to death inside their house by their father Emmanuel, 55.
Emmanuel also shot their helper Anastacia Deriega, 34. He then killed himself.
Upon the request of the relatives, Talisay City policemen, barangay and the Talisay City Health Office workers cleaned the Ponces's bungalow Thursday morning.
Bloodstains were scrubbed off the floor, and the breakfast that the family had before the shooting last Sunday early morning was cleared from the dining table.
Two bolos and another slug from a .45 pistol were also recovered under the double-deck bed of Elaine Grace and Heather Joy.
Talisay City Police Station Chief Eddie Recamara theorized that the bolos were used as tools for self-defense, "considering the history of the family that they allegedly used to be threatened by Emmanuel."
In earlier interviews, the family's relatives and friends said the environment in the Ponce household was violent.
The Ponce children were reportedly beaten up by Emmanuel and on several occasions, they were also threatened with a knife.
The relatives of the Ponce family requested for help in cleaning the house only last Wednesday since they were busy with the burial arrangements and in assisting Embrelaince cope with her loss.
At the wake at the St. Peter Chapels on Thursday, the relatives changed the burial plans for the family after Emmanuel's relatives asked that he be laid to rest in Cebu.
The original arrangement was for the victims, including Emmanuel, to be buried together in Sorsogon City, Bicol, Melinda's hometown.
They are supposed to be transported to Sorsogon on Saturday.
But upon the request of his family, Emmanuel's remains will be brought to Barangay Mabolo, Cebu City today, Friday.
Although Embrelaince earlier said that she wanted her family to stay together even in death, a relative said that she had no choice but to agree to the request of the relatives of her father.
As to their house in Talisay, Embrelaince said she doesn't want to sell it.
"This will be her only remembrance of her parents," Paul, a relative, said.
A mass will be held in the Ponce family's house at 10 a.m. Friday in memory of the victims.
Loida Maquiling, a social worker of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-Central Visayas, said Embrelaince should be closely monitored in the coming days.
"She must avoid anything that could make her emotional," the social worker said.
Because of the gruesome tragedy, an inter-agency movement has been organized to help prevent a similar tragedy.
The DSWD in Talisay City, in coordination with the police and the City Government, will hold a series of information drive on domestic violence.
"This a lesson learned for all of us. We don't want these things to happen again so as early as now, it's better to do something to prevent a similar incident," police chief Recamara said.
Also on Thursday, the body of Deniega, the house helper, was transferred from the St. Peter Chapels to Barangay San Isidro, Talisay City.
Anastacia's mother Pilar, 71, arrived from Negros Occidental Thursday to attend her burial.
Pilar grieved inside the St. Peter Memorial Homes at the sight of her daughter's coffin.
"They have not seen each other for the long time and now, this is what she sees," said Talino Segara, Anastacia's brother. (DSM/Sun.Star Cebu)

Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problems
ozjeeper Posts: 5Have you considered the possibility that the battery was fully charged? The regulator on the Alternator will be set to kick in at a range of 12 volts to 12.2 volts. Of course it could also be the regulator that is causing the problem. It may be set too high or too low before it kicks in. Bear in mind that the Alternator is producing power all the time. It's the Regulator that decides when to allow the power into the battery.
larrys8 Posts: 31Hello all- if you read my previous post about our 2012 GC, you know that I have been dealing with a few electric problems. After two trips to the dealer, the switch to open the rear glass has been replaced.
No on to what happen last night. My wife started up the GC, all the lights were on and blinking including the blind spot warning in the mirrors. She puts the car in drive, gauges dont work, car feels underpowered. She tried to drive, but didn't feel safe doing so. She returned to our in-laws, 20 miles away. I went to pick her up. The only light that stayed on was the check engine light. I drove it home with no problems. This AM, the engine light went off and everything was fine.
Has anyone heard of this? Or have any idea what it is?
I have appointment tomorrow to get it looked at and am hoping that it threw an error code they can see. Although I am preparing myself for the usual "cant replicate customers issue". Im sure it wont happen again until I have my family 15 miles out on the beach this summer.
Any input or feedback would be great. -
karma90 Posts: 6I HAVE A 1996 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. THE BATTERY WOULDN'T STAY CHARGED SO I GOT A NEW BATTERY & THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. BUT NOW THE JEEP WILL START FINE, THEN SHUT DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT A COUPLE HOURS LATER IT WAS STARTING UP & STAYING ON. NOW A WEEK & A HALF LATER, ITS HAPPENING AGAIN.

bretm Posts: 3Sounds similar to my problem:
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 liter/6 cylinder that has 164 K miles. I've kept it in pretty good shape with tons of new parts over the past 3 years or so, and don't want to part with it. However, lately it's been getting horrible gas mileage (about 10 MPG highway), has been running roughly, and smells bad.
Finally took it to the dealer after several attempts by my local, independent shop. Dealer said that the car has been dripping oil down onto the ECU wiring harness for so long that the oil corroded the wires and harness plugs/sockets to the point that they are un-repairable. He said this harness is no longer made, and even if I could find one in a junk yard, it would be "pure luck" to be able to use it and have it work.
His solution? Buy a new car, mine wasn't worth fixing. Would cost several thousand dollars, more than the car is worth.
Actually, the guy sounded sincere, like he really was trying to save me a ton of money and hassle on a difficult problem that did not have much chance of success.
But what do YOU think? Can motor oil really corrode wires and sockets, or just gum them up? Can't this thing just be cleaned really good with an electronics degreaser spray?
Any tips appreciated... -
barryz Posts: 43I would do research at parts stores and online parts sources, i can't believe you can't order a new wiring harness, sounds like the dealer service guy earns a referral fee if you buy a new jeep thats bigger than his fee for fixing, plus if there is a harness it will be cheaper to replace at an independent shop. Does not sound like a valid answer. If you want to try cleaning, get some electronic contact cleaner spray, take connectors off ecm computer located under hood on firewall passenger side, spray connectors and put back on, then unhook any sensors you can can reach on engine and spray connectors, look for pins on connectors that are pushed back and push them back in, make sure they lock in place. If you see any ground wires under hood that ground to body or firewall, take them off and sand the paint off where they mount to body, spray ground lugs with the contact cleaner. This could fix a lot of issues, i have a 99 grand cherokee laredo 4x4 with 172,000. I doubt its this, but battery gage if you have one on dash should read higher than 13.5 volts, if its lower, replace battery if its been a while, weak battery will not let computer function properly, i had this in past. Loosen battery cables and clean posts and terminals with wire brush if corroded, spray some contact cleaner there also. I would not clean harness itself if it has oil on it, its not a factor, bunch of bs, but connector contacts can have poor connection due to corrosion due to age, and can be cleaned as i explained. If none of this cheap stuff works, find a good independent mechanic that specializes in electrical and computers, he should be able to get a harness if needed, but could be a sensor, make sure the mechanic shop has the proper computer diagnostics equipment for jeep. It would not surprise me if just cleaning connections fixes. Let me know if you fixed.
jgc92 Posts: 2I had this exact same problem with my 97 jeep grand Cherokee. Driving down the rd it would just shut off. Is your check engine light on? Mine was on, and I thought it was my alternator too. I felt kinda silly when m mechanic tightened the serpentine belt and replaced the battery. I never had a problem again. My check engine light, which was on for years, has been off ever since. Hope this helps.
dmagi Posts: 2I'm experiencing 2 problems that have surfaced at the same time. Thus, I believe they are connected.
When driving, my overhead monitor chimes, illuminates the interior lights and says "Left Rear Door Open". Of course it is not, but it keeps coming on and going off.
Also, now my alarm keeps going off intermittently (and ohh to often). Haven't had a good night's sleep in a while.
I've taken it to the dealer, who said I needed a new rear left door latch, but would no guarantee that would fix the problem. Latch replaced, problem persist.
I'm at a loss for what to do next. Does anyone know what the cause could be, or a solution? -
karma90 Posts: 6I HAVE A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AGO. IF YOUR ALARM IS CONNECTED TO YOUR POWER LOCKS, THEN IT MOST LIKELY MEANS THAT YOUR REAR DOOR LOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FOR ME IT WAS MY PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED, I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THAT ISSUE.
barryz Posts: 43A very common failure that can cause all kind of power lock, alarm, power window, and interior light issues is that inside the drivers door, in the wiring harness that runs in door from the power lock/window harness is that there is a big, thick, copper back ground wire that grounds windows, locks, alarm, interior lights, to a body ground. this wiring harness passes thru door into car thru a grommet in forward side of door. If you can loosen the interior panel of door low by hinged side you will see this harness, and where it exits door. The common problem is this big fat black ground wire is not so much twisted wires but a round solid piece of copper, and repeated opening and closing of door have caused it to snap in 2 just inside the door or on the outside where it passes into vehicle. I could not visually see the break till i stuck my hand under the loosened interior panel and felt around this biggest fattest wire. i found it was broken in 2, but still making contact with a tiny corner which did not provide a large enough ground path. I was able to very gently strip the insulation of each side of the broken wire and use a twist on wire terminal to join the 2 pieces together, all problems fixed. Its been 2 years now, no more problems. I think if you take to a mechanic to fix, most not so honest, will replace a motor, lock, switch, charge you for parts and labor and repair the ground wire without telling you that was problem, as its only about 30 minutes labor, so the real cause is kept from you so you will thank them for fixing things that weren't broken and were much more profitable for them.
bhill2 Posts: 1,426I am new to this board so if this has been discussed before, I apologize. My stepson has a 2008 GC. He went out one morning and it wouldn't start. He did all of the normal stuff to eliminate a dead battery or a fault in the electrical circuit with no result. A little later he tried again and it did start. That was the last time it did so. My question, however, is this; he had it towed to the dealer and they diagnosed it as the CWX on-board computer. Here's the kicker, they said that this part is not only back-ordered, the parts center indicated that there were 80 people ahead of him and it could take MONTHS before they received one for his vehicle. The service advisor advised him that they themselves had a customer who had been waiting since April. Has anyone heard of this situation? It seems surreal to me that it could be true.

phxmom Posts: 3After spending nearly $2k at the dealer last week, my Jeep is still there when the problem popped up, again.
It only happens on occasion when either stopped at a light or when I first turn it on and the a/c goes on, but all the lights on the dashboard light up, and the car stops. The first couple of times it happened, I shut off the a/c, and it was OK. Took it to the shop and while they replaced a transmission module, they didn't find the cause of the problem. It was OK for a few days, and then it started, again. This time, I put my foot on the gas, and it stopped...but then it happened twice more. Never happens when it's going for awhile.
The service guy at the dealer (where it's been since yesterday & they haven't been able to duplicate it) says it's his gut that it's the ignition switch, but I don't know what to do. Suggestions? I know this has been a common problem.
I really would like now to just sell it, but how do you do that when you've filed a complaint with the government, and you can't get it to work right? -
bhill2 Posts: 1,426I posted the below about a week ago. I am posting it again just in case someone knows something about it. I really want to know if my stepson is being BS'ed, if this is something that has happened to other Jeeps, or if it is just a weird situation. I would appreciate any insight or experiences that people have had.

rbrweb Posts: 1I hope its not too late for the reply, i had the same problem and went from changing fuel pump and the tps sensor and crankshaft sensor even the O2 sensor and nothing, the deal was in the ECM(engine control module) this kind of jeeps have the same problem it starts and works fine then suddenly stall, i change the ECM and problem solved, if you want to buy it from mopar you will spend like 800 dlls but you can find it for 150 looking in the web. Good luck.
jkw13 Posts: 5I'm not sure if this is the same part as ours, but it sounds similar. My husband was told it was on national backorder, so it's not BS. It was supposed to be in August 22, 2013, but we got an email from the dealer saying they had no idea when it would be in. Our car has been there since July 2013 so at least your stepson is in front of us. We ended up buying a 3rd car b/c a rental was costing too much. We bought a Toyota!!

And...since then I've logged over 100k miles without any problem. Now at 139k and running well.
Note: look at my earlier posts from way back -
patulip Posts: 2I own a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee with about 75000 miles on it. It has treated me well and I have spent a sufficient amount of money to maintain it Mechanically and appearance wise.
Just got a problem, I can't shift it to Low Low for Hi AWD. I am fully aware of how to do it. and haven't done it for quite a few years. Now I can't do it at all.
Anyone out there have the same problem and what steps did you require to repair it.
I also had a "service 4WD switch" alert on my computor panel. I replaced the switch and have still have a few alerts.
Anyone have similar events??

Luckily my friends at Binary and Nightwaves were eager to help. Feeling like a match made in the dreamwave heavens, a connection was made between Despotz Records' own ultra-pop-funk O'Spada and Binary's Nightwaves. They were given the task to remix/rework/whatever you want to call it O'Spada's latest single, "Ten Strikes". After just a short time they were ready to deliver the final product.
The result: TWO amazing renditions of one excellent original track. yew! Taking the original clean-cut/pop-funk groove, Nightwaves, took O'Spada to the land of bongos and reverberating synths. They did what they do best by creating an impossibly dreamy atmosphere and turned this squeaky clean track into a dream of cosmic proportions. TWICE.
O'Spada – Ten Strikes (Nightwaves Midnight Fire Remix) –It starts fairly minimal with skeletal rhythm and stark vocals which gradually builds atmosphere –eventually into a thick pulsing aural beast just before breaking to the amazingly lovely chorus progression. so smooth. a knife through butter, creamy camembert, etc. massaging your auditories.
take note: BONGOS BONGOS BONGOS!!!!
O'Spada – Ten Strikes (Nightwaves' Sunday Morning Remix) –hand claps, reverb, and FM synths on a sunday morning is the best way to have any morning.
So which one is your favorite? Both? Thought so. No, but really. Let's hear it.
For those of you who are just joining the mania, O'Spada is AWESOMELY fresh. You can hear what I posted about them a while ago, here.
Here's the original version of O'Spada's 'Ten Strikes'
Shouts to all who put in the time to make this happen. Bloodthirsty Crew, Carl-Marcus, Josh, Kyle, the whole Binary Fam, O'Spada.

Who else would I be talking about? Hemingway brings us back to his 116ft super yacht for an intergalactic space-cruise through the milky way of funk.
Just as I was feeling the yacht-funk vibe taper off, James Harris aka Hemingway brings the vibe to new heights with his rework of Keenhouse's "Ari-es" taking us to interstellar-bongo-yacht-funk critical mass. Believe me when I have said and now say again, Hemingway ain't nothin' to fuck with.
This remix is being released in promotion of the upcoming Keenhouse single release through our super dreamy friends, Binary Records. The guys over there are doing really good things in LA and are having a huge bash celebrating their first compilation album, "LA Lights" next week. (FREE. Tues Oct. 13 @ the Echo)
Yes, I've listened.
Yes, I'm vouching.
Yes, it's awesome.
Digital release of "LA Lights" will be next Tuesday and it will be available EVERYWHERE. In the meantime, stream the hell out of it here.
So now enjoy the whole reason of this post, Hemingway's vision of Ari-es.

I know many of you have heard of Keenhouse, but have you really HEARD Keenhouse? You really just need to take a second to hop onto hypem and check what he's done. Notice that it's ALL top notch?
As I write this post I'm listening to Keenhouse's first EP, released last year, for the first time all the way through. I wish I had done this sooner. Overall, simply put, it's awesome. Highly melodic, phrasing, key progressions, depth, it's all really impressive and pretty unbelievable for a first release. After some discussion with the boys at Binary, I'm starting to understand why/how this was possible. I don't want get into the nitty gritty right now, but let's just say they tell me he's well trained in the classical sense. It's really a shame this album kind of flew under the radar and didn't get the hype it deserved. Let's change that.
Keenhouse's next single Civil Transit is going to be released with Binary. It's right on the horizon and the remixes + a hype storm are starting to take shape.
Here's a little taste to get the ball rolling. First up, Anoraak with a reaaaallly dreamy rendition of Civil Transit in full force with the ever so slight reverb on plucky arpeggiators. atmospheric.
Keenhouse – Civic Transit (Anoraak LAX Remix)
And this is a lick off the original EP to whet your appetite, this is the first track and it hits the ground running. Starts out heavily LFO'd and drops into a rhythm reminiscent of french touch. Perfect Keenhouse. Is that a genre yet?
Keenhouse – Deep in The Forest
Buy Keenhouse – Civic Transit on iTunes (you need this album in your life. so amazingly good.)
I heard this track is Keenhouse's favorite remix of Civil Transit to play out when he DJs…
Keenhouse – Civit Transit (Fabian Remix)
We're back on track (happy music blogger day)

Anyway, none of this could have been possible without our special friend, the young Jordan Elliot of The Kids Are RADIOACTIVE [TKAR]. He's part of the always lovely Binary crew in Los Angeles and one thing is for sure when it comes to Binary- nicest bunch of kids around!
TKAR has a ways to go as far as developing his own niche sound, but what we've all heard so far, is very promising. He tiptoes between the lines of electro/techno/dreamwave and we're dying to find out what comes of all this exploration! The fact that he's so young and putting out stuff that sounds like this, only leaves the future to be excited about. So while we wait for massive things to happen, sit back and enjoy what he's doing right now.
First up is the feature track that started the reply to all magic… TKAR's remix of Ra Ra Riot's – Can You Tell. Cannot get enough cathedral organ in my life!!
Ra Ra Riot – Can You Tell (The Kids Are Radioactive Remix)
Here's something I'm really excited about. An original production from TKAR with vocals lent by another LA local, LexiconDon. Be stoked for this one, it's out on Binary's compilation album "LA Lights" out October 13!!
The percussion and hand claps…. #ilovehandclaps

Just because I'm in the best mood possible today, this is my latest favorite from Team Australia. It's the Strip Steve remix of GLOVES – PYX. SO good. Paradise. You may recognize it if you tuned into #radiotuftsmania (scroll thru if you want to get the lowdown on what happened last night). It was the opening track! that modulated key synth solo…and I seem to love anything with acoustic piano?….. love.

Those of us who live in cooler climates and who want to get a jump-start on the growing season have been thinking about seed-starting recently. Last winter I shared several informative posts about how and when to start seeds. This winter I thought it...

West Ham United secured a deserved 2-1 victory over Liverpool in their final home game of the Premier U18 League Tier One Stage at Little Heath on Saturday.
Goals for the Hammers in the opening half-hour from Joe Ward and Nathan Mavila (pictured) put the Hammers on course for victory; with Alex O'Hanlon's second-half strike only a consolation for the visiting Reds.
Both sides named a host of young players in their starting line-ups, with Potts giving starts to Vit Nemrava, Nathan Mavila, Reece Burke and Taylor Miles, who were all part of Nick Haycock's Development Squad for their own 2-1 Barclays U21 Premier League victory over Liverpool on Friday evening.
With both teams aiming to get some points on the board before the end of the season, the game started in very lively fashion. The visitors looked more comfortable with the ball in the midfield, but West Ham were looking more dangerous in attack.
The Hammers were ahead after ten minutes. As West Ham attacked regularly down both wings, it was Mavila who was released down the left flank, making a low cross to the unmarked Ward, who directed the ball into the bottom left-hand corner of the net.
Liverpool tried to react straight away, but just ten minutes later, Ward and Mavila linked up again on the counter attack. As Ward progressed over the halfway line, Mavila sprinted through the defence to prepare to receive the ball, but Ward failed to put enough pace on the ball and the pass was intercepted.
Just before the half-hour mark, West Ham doubled their lead. A long ball forward from Emmanuel Onaraise was aimed at Mavila, who turned his marker on the halfway line to run through on goal, taking his time before powering his shot into the corner of the net.
Before the break, Liverpool had a clear opportunity on goal to get back into the game. From a corner, the ball found Danny Cleary in the box, but the defender sliced his effort straight into the hands of schoolboy goalkeeper Nemrava.
After the break, Liverpool came out much quicker, looking to put pressure on a strong Hammers defence.
Ten minutes into the second half, the Merseysiders got the goal they had been searching for. An unlikely mistake in the home back line gave O'Hanlon a chance to run through on goal, and he kept his cool to slot past Nemrava.
The goal gave Liverpool inspiration to push for the equaliser, but the Hammers stayed strong and cleared all the danger, reducing their opponents to long-range shots.
In the closing stages of the game, Liverpool were starting to get frustrated. Despite the extensive periods of possession and territory enjoyed by the visitors, West Ham held on to take all three points.
West Ham end their Barclays U18 Premier League Tier One stage season with a trip to Stoke City next Saturday..
West Ham United U18s: Nemrava, Knoyle, Page, Burke, Harney, Onaraise, Makasi, Miles (Girdlestone) (Gogo), Ward (Boakye-Yiadom), Parfitt-Williams, MavilaSubs not used: Brown, Pike

The revised Waxman-Markey bill now plans to give away about 85 per cent of initial carbon allowances for free – despite President Obama's first budget back in February planning for all allowances to be auctioned; with no freebies. Many commentators, including the FT, have been critical of the giveaways.
Robert Stavins at Harvard has written a defence of giving away allowances; in principle, he says, they are not as bad as they sound.
In short he argues the political pressures of the day do not affect the cost-effectiveness or the environmental effectiveness of the scheme itself.
Generally speaking, the choice between auctioning and freely allocating allowances does not influence firms' production and emission reduction decisions. Firms face the same emissions cost regardless of the allocation method. When using an allowance, whether it was received for free or purchased, a firm loses the opportunity to sell that allowance, and thereby recognizes this "opportunity cost" in deciding whether to use the allowance. Consequently, the allocation choice will not influence a cap's overall costs.
While political pressures affect the initial allocations of allowances, they do not affect the environmental effectiveness or even the cost effectiveness, he says.
Contrast this with what would happen when political pressures are brought to bear on a carbon tax proposal, for example.
Stavins also says the fighting over allocations can actually help support the cap-and-trade scheme, by creating a political constituency in support of the system.
But there are a few problems.
First, the foregone revenues from auctions could be spent on social measures (or, perhaps, other measures to reduce emissions).
Second, allocations given to utilities could be used to lower electricity costs, thereby affect the amount by which electricity demand could otherwise fall. (Stavins notes Waxman-Markey seeks to address this by insisting utilities pass on credit to customers in lump sum payments).
Third, if free allowances are allocated according to an 'updating' view of the recipient's emissions, rather than a snapshot of past use, this can provide "perverse incentives". In otherwords:
If allowances are freely allocated, the allocation should be on the basis of some historical measures, such as output or emissions in a (previous) base year, not on the basis of measures which firms can affect, such as output or emissions in the current year. Updating allocations, which involve periodically adjusting allocations over time to reflect changes in firms' operations, contrast with this.
An output-based updating allocation ties the quantity of allowances that a firm receives to its output (production). Such an allocation is essentially a production subsidy. This distorts firms' pricing and production decisions in ways that can introduce unintended consequences and may significantly increase the cost of meeting an emissions target. Updating therefore has the potential to create perverse, undesirable incentives.
And Waxman-Markey DOES use updating allocations for some sectors – as an attempt to prevent the scheme from giving an advantage to imports, without upsetting international trade relations.
Stavin also points out that most of the free allowances go towards consumers and public purposes, and only 17 per cent goes directly to private industry – not quite the 'massive corporate giveaway' that it is often characterised as, then.
Calculation of free allocations should be scrutinised closely, he says, especially those such as the updating mechanism which provide perverse incentives. But the horse-trading over allocations actually underlines an advantage of cap-and-trade: it provides a way to get political support for a system that does ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Touchstone Center for Crafts keeps centuries-old traditions alive in a serene compound of art studios and mountain residences. More than 100 classes take place throughout the year in eight Appalachian studios, conveniently located near inspirational landmarks such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and the natural wonder of Laurel Caverns. The center's workshops range from extended weeklong affairs to weekend crash courses, covering topics from painting and drawing to glass blowing, metalwork, and flower arrangements. While learning their trade of choice, students can choose from room and board options that include private rooms, rustic cabins, and camping opportunities for those hoping to show their work to Bigfoot.
After decades of winning the admiration of stock-car racing fans with his aggressive driving strategy and off-track charisma, Rusty Wallace now gives others the chance to experience the rush of racing. He joined forces with Sodikart to roll out the Rusty Wallace Kart Experience, pairing kart with driver at some of the country's most celebrated racetracks. Racers can hop in a custom RT8 (or its kid-friendly counterpart, the LR4) and hit the gas, tearing up everything from the versatile road courses and speedy main track of the Atlanta Motor Speedway to the challenging lava pits of the Milwaukee Mile.
But this go-karting business has a big brother?the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. It's a high-speed trip into the pro-racing trade, with breathtaking ride-alongs and racing experiences in stock cars. Guests buckle up and sit shotgun alongside professional drivers as they fly down straightaways and around curves. They can even get behind the wheel themselves, finally feeling what it's like to be a professional driver.
Founded by Floyd "Butch" and Pearl Overly in 1972, the NASCAR–sanctioned Motordrome Speedway entertains fans with weekly automotive racing contests on its half-mile-long asphalt track. With this deal, you get tickets to a select Friday-night race that features five racing divisions, including street stock (American non-sports cars) and charger (American stock autos built between 1970–1990), each NWAAS racing event displays a variety of vehicle and racing styles. Made up of mostly local teams and drivers, the races give auto aficionados the chance show off their driving skills without jumping over gorges during a DMV driving test. With a community-friendly atmosphere involving many of the racers' own families, the Motordrome allows visitors to bring their own comestibles and drinks in a 14-inch or smaller cooler, and parking for the events is free.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
Studio owner Claire's yoga journey began at her middle school's book fair, where a book about yoga caught her eye. On a whim, she took the book home and used it to help her begin at-home practice. Her dedication to the mind-body stayed with her through high school and college, where she wound up majoring in advertising and marketing. After spending some time in the ad field as a professional, she had an epiphany: she didn't believe in anything strongly enough to justify selling it, at least as not as much as she believed in yoga. With a nudge from her supportive husband, Claire decided to combine her passions for business and yoga by obtaining her 200-hour teaching certification and purchasing Yoga Innovations.
Today, Claire and her seven fellow yogis help guide students of all experience levels to greater fitness and healthier lifestyles via challenging and nurturing yoga sessions. She specializes in power Vinyasa flow, which shepherds students through a series of difficult poses in 90+ degrees, and unheated prenatal yoga?a variation designed to help pregnant women mindfully battle the aches, pains, and pickle-juice cravings associated with pregnancy.

Rumors of Mini iPods
michael posted more than 11 years ago | from the vaporware dept.
621TheKidWho writes "According to Thinksecret: 'Reliable sources inside and outside of Apple have confirmed Apple will announce the new pocket-size iPods in a number of capacities and in various colors, including stripes. Capacities will be 2 and 4GB -- meaning users could store some 400 and 800 songs, respectively. Prices will start at around $100US, Think Secret has learned. It is not known if the new product line will be available immediately after introduction. It is also expected that current iPod models will be revamped to add body colors as well.' With the $99 price tag, it seems these rumored iPods could make big headway in the low end mp3 player market."

who will be the first to rip this off from db? clusterfuck? dealbook?
@1 really what?
bess levin ft motherfucking w
@3 portraying the illusion of normalcy at the sinking ship.
@3 they sent this last week…they didn't know they were about to get busted.
@7 ah,I see. I guess the books will look a little different before long.
Bess –
An outstanding day on your part. See what happens when you don't have a human anchor around your neck? That would be Greg. That douche.
Greg's Mom -
Perp walk photos on DB are the new killing it.
@9 Shut up about Greg. This is about curry boy and his accomplices. Focus for Christ sake!
I hate to say this guys but I really would like to see Micheal Moore's version of cops where wall street perps are taken down like the scum they are.
To all DB readers.
Please to understand that myself, and our fund, has come under very serious attack, in fact, I find myself in jail.
To my trusted investors I can assure you, according to the laws of Sri Lanka, insider trading is not a crime. It is simply the right to perfect information. I will fight, on your behalf, for what I see as a terrible injustice.
Bernie keeps looking at me in a strange way. I keep telling him I am sore from last night. -
@13 Awful. Take a lap.
Excellent Work today Dealbreaker! Bess Levin and Teri Buhl nailed it on the Galleon coverage. Loved the rap song and photo of the lady from New Castle.
a digital intstrument is not a real document, the real document when a small amount of heat was applied, revealed the following coded message:
persian blue nova likes curry scented mohair
-guy who does like like getting his tie caught in a shredder -
No Greg + Bess actually working = Dealbreaker's best day in a long time.
Bess –
You magnificant Bastard.
Before you start jerking Greg off and finger Bess – they didn't break any story or uncover anything. They cut and pasted from other peoples' webpages.
Copy, past, send. -
"Consistent with the firm's positive view on technology, this sector was the largest contributor to profits."
@19- Henry?
@19 Wrong. Plenty of stories have been broken by Dealbreaker.
@19 says the guy commenting on a story with information found nowhere else on the internet/in the MSM. keeping winning it, bud.
@17 interesting. you seem to have a disdain for greg, believe bess doesn't do any "actual" work. and yet you've been here for a while ("best day in a long time")…why?
19 just kill yourself now.
@19 O RLY? and whose would those be? oh, right. no one's.
Bess and good bloggers are supposed to cut and paste and add commentary. They're aggregating and editing and serving it on a plate, sometimes with a bent. Bess can be pretty bent, which is why I read her. Bess also cultivates friends/sources so she breaks some stories. This is what a journalist does. Fact is, investigative journalism is largely being replaced by straight reportage of leaks. Then Teri Buhl's posts get shit on, but who else is digging into that pile?
+1 diet soda -
Why don't reporters and their sources don't get in trouble when they publish a story that contains material non-public information? For instance, the Journal reported last week that Brocade Communications, had put itself up for sale and the stock subsequently moved up significantly. This story was based on "sources familiar with the matter." How is this different from Raj's and his sources involved in the restructuring at AMD? End game for both is/was to make money – Raj to trade and for Journal to drive viewership.
Raj Rajaratnam = Nutty Professor
http://www.mannythemovieguy.com/images/nutty_professor.jpg -
"stock picker's market" indeed.
So due diligenified it should be (is) illegal! -
@30 um? Really? Is this rhetorical?
1) Trading on material, non-public information may be illegal, but reporting it is not.
2) Pretty much by definition, if some information appears in the WSJ it is now public.
3) Amendment I generally inhibits prosecuting the press for publishing factual information. -
Is Raj related to the ValueStockTips guy?
Bob Wood? Isn't that what Greg does for a living?
where did this craig michaels go?
Insider trading should be completely legal. I see this whole thing a big waste of money. If any company wants to go public, then the company itself should build their own credit for not hiding the critical information to the investors, not SEC or any other government regulatory. If any one want to play this stock game, he/she should be fully aware that it is his/her responsibility to collect the information, not matter material or non-material. Why can't people trade the stock of their own company? It will make market more efficient and facilitate the management to make the better decision for company's operation instead of screwing up other investors.
Insider trading just gives people a false hope that the whole game is "fair", which is not whatsoever. Plus it has so many grey area and so hard to enforce it. I can't see any justified reason for this stupid law. -
Greg zuckerman at the WSJ clearly lifted returns on Galleon's Diversified fund from Dealbreaker yesterday in his story called 'Trader Is known for Speed, Smarts.'
It's shameful that the WSJ let's its reporters piggyback off of Bess's first to the story reporting.
Zuckerman seems to think since this Oct letter came out the firm actually has another $300m in AUM. He reports total aum is $3.7bn , while this letter from the firm states it $3.4bn. If that new AUM is even correct do think the investors will want a 30-day money back guarantee? -
"If any one want to play this stock game, he/she should be fully aware that it is his/her responsibility to collect the information, not matter material or non-material."
"go public" means publically held, which means owned by the public, which in turn means owned by many entities, including pension funds, mom & pop, Main Street, insiders, outsiders, et. al.
As TGFD sees it, insider-trading laws are there to offer some type of protection to all the outsiders from all the insiders. Too bad the protection is so weak.
It seems that you would choose to remove the protection, however feeble it may be.
The Guy from Delaware -
Protection is a scum bag. Right?
I've got Dean Crist on the line…
Dean Crist is on the line!!!
I checked from the Penn alum directory:
Raj Rajanatram
Anil Kumar
Rajiv Goel
are all 1983 MBAs.
Have to admit, the amount of professional success these guys had (director at McKinsey, MD at Intel Capital and of course Raj Raj) is pretty incredible from a random sample of b-school buds. -
"Random" sample of HBS grads, you're surprised they did well for themselves? -

Originally appeared on Role/Reboot. Republished here with permission.
Of all the holidays that I bemoan, Thanksgiving is the one in which I play my Pick Your Battles card and allow myself to enjoy without too much inner turmoil. In spite of the holiday's history, for me it prevails with a modern, singular purpose that I don't mind: familial appreciation.
That family might be your community family or maybe your blood-tied family, but either way it tends to be a holiday centered on getting into the same zip code as the people you love most in the world. My own family's Thanksgiving observations have altered many times over the years, ranging from eight-hour drives to my aunt and uncle's house when I was a boy to smaller gatherings at my parents' house during my teenage years to the modest tradition today comprised of family and friends of family.
Regardless of where or how Thanksgiving happened, one constant remained throughout all those alterations: Traditionally, the women cook and the men watch sports and talk in the den. Keep reading »

A powerful computer is central to the modern music studio and, with the constant development of more complex and powerful software to replace virtually every instrument and hardware unit found in a studio, you really do need to invest in the best. Apple have forged their place in the film and music for providing exactly that — the best. With huge processing power, massive quotas of memory and a rock solid operating system, Apple computers provide the perfect platform to build your studio on.
Powerful, professional and reliable, the Mac Pro is the best choice for most professional studios. The Mac Pro is the only computer in the range to offer PCIe expansion slots (required for Pro Tools HDX and UAD cards), 12-Core Technology and 64GB of RAM, so if you are looking for maximum power or a flexible investment that can grow with you and your studio, then the Mac Pro is the solution.
With its sublime looks, huge high definition screen and compact all-in-one design, the iMac presents a stunning harmony of power and elegance. Inside the exquisite exterior resides ample power for even the most demanding music and film applications. So, if you are short of space, or prefer style over brawn, the iMac makes a beautiful solution.
The latest Mac Mini models offer a greater level of power and memory than ever before, all in a tiny desktop design. Now available with Quad-Core i7 processors and an incredible 16GB of memory, the Mac Mini is, quite rightly, being found in studios of all sizes. There's been no compromise in features however, as the Mac Mini has Firewire 800, Thunderbolt and three USB 3 ports, as well as an HDMI output for connecting to an HD TV or monitor.
No computer takes centre stage like the MacBook Pro, so whether you are looking for a rock solid DJ rig, a powerful mobile studio, or a reliable performer to join you on stage, the MacBook Pro was born to move. With a solid aluminium case, quad core power, 64bit processing, and up to 16Gb RAM, the Mac Book Pro is the very pinnacle of mobile technology and you can be confident that it will deliver a perfect performance every time.

Construction Law Committee
The Construction Law Committee provides a roundtable forum for attorneys and other professionals to address and discuss the most pressing and relevant issues facing the construction and development communities in the City and State of New York. The Committee also looks at how construction/ development issues facing other states, and/or federal, and international arenas affect the New York construction community.
The Committee is made up of both public and private attorneys specializing in all aspects of construction law, together with a variety of adjunct members employed in related industries, including architects, engineers, expert consultants, and contractor organization representatives. Our monthly meetings generally include a discussion of current industry events, member and guest presentations, and subcommittee updates. The diversity of our membership ensures lively, interesting and well-balanced debate, and, ultimately, helps our Committee members form a deep understanding of the current legal issues facing their clients.
Some of the more recent Committee accomplishments include: proposing legislative amendments to the notice of claim requirements under New York's Public Authorities Law; drafting new City safety registration legislation; publishing a report on the state of public procurement in New York; researching risk-shifting in public and private construction contracts; researching potential methods of improving the ECB's handling of construction-related complaints; and researching legal issues associated with the "green" construction movement. The Committee also works with other City Bar Committees, local law schools and industry organizations in order to accomplish its goals.
