Day 11 - Part 2
Dinner. Mmm. We made reservations for 5:30 for Alfredo's since it is closing in the end of June. We arrived at about 5:15 and were seated by 5:25, so we were a bit early! Nothing too exciting to report over dinner. I got the Alfredo and Alan got lamb. The best part was at the beginning of our meal, we had a man sitting next to us who knew the owner of the original Alfredo's - and had eaten there! He talked in Italian to the waiter, but he struck up a conversation with us about the original place and how the pasta "isn't as good, b ut they try" and how the best part of eating at Alfredo's was when the chef came and mixed it at your table, and if you were lucky enough to get the bowl, it was absolutely amazing! He said it was more cheesy and even more delicious than what they make of it today!
He was very nice to talk to. Halfway through our meal, he left. I also had a Rossini which is champange and strawberries and Calamari for an appetizer. I had a chocolate cake with a cheese layer on top for desert and Alan got some sort of multi-colored cake that I can't remember the name of. It was delicious!
We walked out with some of my pasta left, and we decided to ride Spaceship Earth with our left-overs.
No noticable changes to it at all. Although they are DEFINITELY doing construction on the unloading area in that big open room, you can only exit to one side now!
Day 12 - The end! March 11th, 2007
Alan and I woke up and decided to go into Epcot. We didn't get to stay long though because we had various household chores that needed to be done before we went back to school. We went on the Seas with Nemo and Friends and ended up waiting 30 minutes for it! Then we decided to go on Imagination, but of course we walked right on!
We wandered around the parks for awhile, strolling through Innoventions and the shops, but it was getting crowded so unfortunately we decided to leave to go home and get work done!
That's it for my Spring Break reports. I didn't win anything yet, but now I"m focused on just having more fun than winning.
Here are the dates I know I'm going in March so far...
Thursday, March 15th, 2007 - Morning and possibly evening alone and then with friends!
Wednesday March 21st, 2007 - Afternoon/evening with my friends
Friday March 23rd - Start of my 22nd Birthday Celebration - possibly a campfire movie?
Saturday, March 24th - my 22nd Birthday, maybe I'll win big on this day! We'll be in the parks ALLLLLLLLLLL Day!
Sunday, March 25th- the end of the celebration
Tuesday March 27th - My mom and I will be going to AK since she came to visit me!
And I think that's it for march! Let me know if your gonna be there!

Who's for a movie?
DOCTOR Who writer Steven Moffat has gone back on his previous denials to reveal the Time Lord WILL appear in a film in the future.
He told Vulture magazine: "I think it could be incredibly exciting to see that Tardis fly on the big screen. It would just be, 'How do we arrange it, and how do we make sure we have control?'

South Beach
Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club
South Beach
Miami, FL, United States
Sandoval—a trumpeter, Dizzy Gillespie protégé, and first-rate jazz legend—runs a first-rate club, perfect for a downbeat evening. It's a welcome addition to the nightlife scene, which is full of one too many dance clubs. On any given night, Sandoval might sit in with friends like Cachao, a Cuban mambo music pioneer, or Miami local Andy Garcia, a huge fan of Latin jazz. Set up as an old-fashioned supper club offering two shows a night, it serves a civilized dinner along with the jazz. Miami may be a town given over to pounding house music, but at Arturo's place, adults still rule the nightlife roost, and intelligent music prevails.
Insider Tip:
Tickets tend to range from $15 to $42, with a $15 mandatory food and beverage charge per person. The food is serviceable, but a better bet is a few drinks at the bar, where the experience feels more like an old-line jazz club.

Steve Berman knocked on nearly every door in Gilbert, spoke with nearly every voter and bragged he'd worn out several pairs of shoes in the process. It was early 1987, and Berman was running for the Town Council as an unknown, a political outsider few of the town's insiders took seriously.

Berman plotted rivals death, wife tells police
He would quickly prove them wrong.
Those who remember the campaign said they never saw him coming. The young Berman, who had lived in town for three years, flatly outworked his rivals. He used his naturally hard-charging and pushy salesman ability to win votes and eventually the election.
With that victory, as unlikely as it was, the new kid in town, the man with no prior political experience, was closer to attaining his oft-stated goal - to become "the richest, most powerful man in Gilbert."
Over the next 20 years, Berman, now 60, would relentlessly and sometimes bitterly pursue that vision with the same dogged determination he showed in that first campaign. In doing so, he has racked up a long list of political enemies who have accused him of ruling Town Hall like a schoolyard bully.
Berman's volatile temper has gotten him into trouble in his personal and political lives. His drive to be mayor, say Berman's friends and foes, influences nearly every decision in his life, and he will go to nearly any lengths to retain his title.
"Being the mayor seems to be his sole purpose in life," said Jo Albright, who served with Berman on the council until she left in 1999. "In my opinion, he puts his self-interest first and everything else second to make sure of that."
That has meant the qualities that have made him a great politician haven't always made him easy to work with. There is story after story from those who have served with him that paint a picture of man obsessed with the office.
Then there are the much-publicized tales of him brazenly and unapologetically accepting free gifts such as an expensive suit from a local retailer and the free use of a pickup truck from a local auto dealer. And there are the wild and outlandish statements, such as proclaiming himself "mayor for life," or telling a group of homeowners living on county islands outside town limits that if they want fire protection from the city they need to "annex or burn."
Berman did not return repeated phone calls asking for comment on this story. However, he has denied making the "annex or burn" remark.
Berman's personal and political lives, say his friends, are so intertwined that it's nearly impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. So when he lost his bid to become the town's first elected mayor years ago, it wasn't just a rejection of his candidacy. It was more personal than that, and it was so devastating that he nearly didn't recover.
"Steve was crushed by what he saw as a blatant betrayal by some," said Daryl Colvin, a longtime friend and one of his closest political allies. "He was just stunned. He was in as bad of shape as I've seen anyone and he pulled himself out."
After the defeat, Berman dropped out of the town's political scene for several years. Those who served in office and ran in Gilbert's political circles say they can't remember Berman showing up for anything during those years. Eventually, with the help of a friend, he found the temptation to run for mayor too great and stormed back on the scene with another unlikely victory. His opponent, Cynthia Dunham, still accuses him of running a dirty and ethically bankrupt campaign. Regardless, by the end of the 2001 mayoral race, Berman had resurrected his political fortunes and found himself in the seat he has frequently stated he intends to keep for life.
By most accounts, Berman, a 1966 graduate of Maryvale High School in Phoenix and a former Army captain, is a great salesman. Whether it's computers, cell phones or even politics, he is the epitome of what those in the sales industry refer to as a closer.
Ron Rodgers, who served one term on the council from 1988 until 1991, worked with Berman a decade earlier at Xerox selling copy machines. It was 1977, and Rodgers, who changed his name from Rodriguez, says Berman was always one of the top salesmen in the company. Xerox, Rodgers says, was full of young, ambitious salesmen who knew the firm could jump-start a career. Most worked there for about three to five years and moved on to larger companies. Berman was no different. Rodgers says he moved on to sell computers at another firm, and lost contact until he joined Berman on the council in 1988. "It was nice to see a friendly face," he said.
Rodgers was appointed to fill a position that had been vacated. Serving on the council, he says, was never a strong ambition. So after completing the term in 1991, he did not seek re-election.
But it was a different story for Berman. "He wanted to be mayor really bad," Rodgers said. "I can't say why. It was just one of those things everyone knew."
So Berman pursued his goal with a vengeance, reaching it in 1990 when the council voted him in. At the time, Gilbert voters did not choose the mayor. The council did. But those characteristics that made him a tenacious campaigner and a top salesman didn't translate in to great leadership, according to those who served on the council with Berman.
Soon, he found himself at odds with most of his colleagues on the council on a number of issues. While differences are expected in the world of politics, what most fellow council members didn't like was his tact - or lack of it. Those who served with Berman say that often, instead of attempting to find a consensus, he tried to rule through intimidation. "When he got mad, he could say or do anything," said Steve Chader, who served on the council in the early 1990s.
Berman's ruthless tactics reached a climax one night in April 1990, when he is accused of threatening a fellow councilman's children if he didn't vote the way Berman wanted. Berman was leading a closed-door meeting - an executive session - in which he was attempting to get a unanimous vote on an issue. The fact he was discussing a vote in an executive session is itself a violation of Arizona's Opening Meetings Law, which prohibits the practice.
Berman wanted a 7-0 vote. But two council members stood in his way - Jo Albright and Paul Beavin. Berman and Beavin had a long-simmering history of disagreements, according to several former council members. And that night was no different. Those in attendance say they were discussing the possibility of condemning a Salt River Project facility to run it as a town utility - similar to an arrangement Mesa now has.
What started as a discussion escalated into a nasty verbal brawl. The two were red-faced and screaming at each other, according to witnesses. When Beavin refused to go along with the deal, Berman said, "We can ensure a 7-0 vote. We will be watching his kids after school," police records show. Beavin, who could not be reached for comment, immediately called police and filed a report. No charges were filed.
Albright remembers the incident as an example of how Berman tried to run the town. It also highlighted the main reason the council would later appoint someone else mayor. In 1991, the council picked Albright for mayor, a move that further chilled their already cool relationship.
Albright would later step down amid her own political problems. She was facing a recall effort. And though she has no proof, she believes today that Berman was behind it.
Berman's bullish tactics prompted many of those who had served with him on the council to take out a full page ad in a small-town newspaper, The Gilbert Independent, calling for Berman's ouster. Former Councilman Steve Chader, who now runs a real estate company in Mesa, said he was one of the people who signed the advertisement. "There was no question in my mind that the council felt Steve didn't have the temperament for the job," Chader says. "It was almost unanimous that the council wanted him out."
Again, Berman campaigned hard, practicing those retail politics that served him well in the past, and he survived. The reasons, according to Chader, were low voter turnout and deft political skills. Then as now, Gilbert holds its elections in odd number years and in the spring - a time that brings out between 5 and 10 percent of registered voters.
But most important, Berman, ever the politician and salesman, had figured out numerous ways to maximize exposure in a small town. Chader said one of his most politically successful programs involved the creation of a student citizenship award to be presented by the mayor every month during council meetings.
By handing out an award, Chader said, Berman would get the student's family out to the meeting where he could court them for votes while posing for pictures with the child. And the parents ate it up, Chader said.
But what Chader remembers most about serving with Berman is his ambition. "He once told me that he wanted to be 'the richest, most powerful man in Gilbert,'" Chader said, repeating a phrase others often attribute to Berman.
Those ambitions were nearly ruined in 1993. Berman's political career was derailed when he was beaten by Wilburn Brown. It was a devastating defeat for a man whose sole focus was becoming mayor, according to those around him. Berman dropped out of the town's political circuit. He lost contact with most of his fellow council members and he wasn't seen anywhere around town anymore.
It was one of the darkest times in his life, said Daryl Colvin, one of Berman's closest friends. Those times got even darker about 1995 when his third wife, Dawn, left and took their daughter Elizabeth.
Berman and his ex-wife had fought over money, according to court records. Berman would later threaten Dawn and her new husband in 1999, according to an order of protection she filed against him.
"I think his faith saved him," Colvin says. "I had to drag him off to his Pentecostal church."
At the time, Colvin says, Berman was hibernating in his 10,000-square-foot home and didn't know what to do next.
Even today, Colvin says he himself is still bitter about the 1993 race. "They really stuck a knife in him," Colvin says of Berman. "They got away with things they'd never get away with today."
According to Colvin, Berman's opponent, Brown, had promised to stay out of the race. In a 1993 story published by the Tribune, Berman said he felt betrayed by Brown, whom he had helped get elected to the Town Council. This year, though, an August mayoral proclamation honors the legacy of Brown, who is currently struggling with lung cancer at age 75.
But in 1993, there was more to it than someone going back on any perceived promises. Berman's abrasive style was again coming back to hurt him. It served to galvanize political opposition to his mayoral campaign. At the time, there were several current and former council members, like Albright, who said they pushed Brown to run in order to keep Berman out of office.
Brown, a respected and well-known member of the community and a former high ranking member of the Mormon Church, crushed Berman, winning by a 2-to-1 margin. Colvin said the loss left an indelible scar on Berman's psyche that would take years to heal.
"It was like political post-traumatic stress," Colvin said. "I just don't know if he wanted to go through the political process and get beat again."
In the end, Berman did overcome his political aversions when in 2001 Colvin persuaded him to run against then-Mayor Cynthia Dunham.
Dunham had been hurt politically by several issues - issues that highlight just how small the town still was at the time. Most notably, she had drawn fire over the question of whether to add fluoride to the town's drinking water, as well as a proclamation declaring "Bible Week" in Gilbert.
Still, it looked like Dunham would be running with no opposition. That is, until Berman filed the necessary paperwork with the town clerk just hours before the deadline. What followed was a typical bare-knuckled Berman campaign. He tirelessly went after Dunham, she said, adding that Berman would say and do anything to get elected. "I think he wants this more than anything," Dunham said. "He will make promises he knows he can't keep."
Regardless, in the end Berman scored another unlikely victory, and placed his vision back on track. He was back where he always wanted to be and was beyond ecstatic, Colvin said. Berman would go on to defeat Dunham again in four years.
Since his re-election in 2001, Berman has not been shy in taking on anyone who threatens his hold on power. In some cases, it has cost him personal friendships. Most recently, he found himself at odds with his former friend, state Sen. Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert, over the issue of providing fire service to homeowners living just outside Gilbert town limits. Berman didn't want to use town resources and was heard by many people to say "annex or burn." However, Verschoor pushed for an arrangement that ensured thousands of homeowners without fire service would be protected.
Berman later recruited a candidate, Joe Bedgood, who ran unsuccessfully against Verschoor for the state Senate in 2006. Verschoor, Berman's one-time campaign chairman, refused to comment about the mayor.
Now, Berman faces another threat to his hold on power, and it may be the gravest since his re-election. His wife has filed for divorce and has taken out an order of protection after accusing him of physically and verbally abusing her for years. Berman overcame similar allegations of domestic abuse leveled by his second wife before he entered politics.
Berman is up for re-election in March. This time, few friends are willing to defend him.
"Why so many enemies?" said Colvin, the man who helped Berman resurrect his political career. "He's got a temper. He's absolutely very direct behind closed doors and needs a little more politician in him, and a little less Army captain."

Heidi Klein Bikini
Hotel: W Retreat & Spa, Maldives
Details: Produced in W's signature purple, the halter-top bikini with silver hammered-chrome detail ($275) is designed by luxury beachwear label Heidi Klein, run by design duo Heidi Gosman and Penny Klein; the London label is a favorite of the hordes of Brits who frequent the resort. The suit is a limited issue sold only on-site, but don't worry: if the size in your room isn't skimpy enough, an on-call staffer designated the "Bikini Butler" will bring the perfect fit.

"Detoxifying" Room Spray
Details: Mini-bars at this 60-room bolt-hole, Boston's original boutique hotel, hide an offbeat, all-natural sleep-enhancer: the City Life Detoxer from Sprayology ($24). The homeopathic, FDA-approved oral spray is said to flush away all the urban toxins. Its key ingredient?St. Mary's thistle, which allegedly eases breathing difficulties, coughing, and sluggishness, so you can crash for eight hours, Ambien-free. Sadly, there's no word on whether it freshens your breath too.

Hotel: Thompson Beverly Hills, Los Angeles
Details: Trust playboy hotelier Jason Pomeranc to come up with a tweak on the now-standard mini-bar condom kit. His entire Thompson chainlet, including this 100-room L.A. newbie, now offers designer condoms with subdued black-and-white packaging, masterminded by downtown darling Alexander Wang ($5.99 for three assorted). Proceeds benefit Planned Parenthood. And if you can't make it to the hotel, you can buy Wang's designs at www.properattirecondoms.com.

"Things by Tina Thor" Handmade Jewelry
Hotel: Cooper Square Hotel, New York City
Details: This 145-room East Village hotel (opened in December 2008) is the brainchild of German hotelier and Claridge's vet Klaus Ortlieb—an obsessive style junkie who feels that the mini-bar should also be a shop for original souvenirs (he personally oversaw and curated the jewel box–like mini-bars). Ortlieb tasked downtown jeweler Tina Thor, for example, to create unique pieces ($95) for sale at his hotel (he's also tapped makeup artist Loraine Abeles and lotion-peddler Red Flower). The mini-bars will be refreshed, like a concept store, with new items seasonally.

Voodoo Love Dolls
Hotel: Omni Royal Crescent, New Orleans
Details: Though it's a sprawling corporation, Omni has tweaked its mini-bars so that each hotel can customize the so-called Sensation Bars in its rooms to better reflect the local culture (indie music CDs in Austin, for example). Nowhere is it more cheekily in evidence than at the 97-room New Orleans site, where for $10 you can make your own Love Voodoo Kit: inside the box is a stuffed doll, a box of pins for skewering, and a voodoo love-life manual. The hair and nails of any inamorato, unfortunately, you'll have to supply yourself.
Kristen Taylor
Pink Duct Tape
Hotel: Custom Hotel, Los Angeles
Details: The 250-room Custom Hotel was originally conceived of by Welton Beckett, the mod architect behind the witty Capitol Records building. Hotelier Avi Brosh continues the quirkiness inside, offering an off-kilter mini-bar that goes well beyond beers and colas in each of the rooms: there are balsa-wood airplane toys ($7) and striped calf socks from American Apparel ($13). But the canniest addition to this in-room Aladdin's Cave is undoubtedly the bubblegum-pink duct tape ($3), ideal to mend a torn suitcase—though it has plenty of other potential uses too.

Botanical Sodas
Hotel: Rosewood Sand Hill, Palo Alto, CA
Details: The 123-room Sand Hill, just outside San Jose, gives several nods to northern Cali's outdoorsy lifestyle; the hotel has design touches intended to blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, menus featuring only ingredients from local sustainable farms, and even botanical sodas in the mini-bars. Compared with the hours-long process of commercial brands, the retro Fentimans Curiosity Cola ($6) is brewed botanically using a century-old recipe, where the proprietary herb blend (it does include energy-boosting catuaba and guarana extracts) steeps for a week to infuse the flavor.

Oxygen Canisters
Hotel: Banyan Tree Ringha, China
Details: The mini-bars at this 32-berth Tibetan hotel—as high up (almost 10,500 feet above sea level) as it is high-end (a two-bedroom lodge is $1,000 per night)—have a secret altitude-beating treat stashed inside: special bright blue canisters of oxygen. Simply attach the mouthpiece supplied to the nozzle and spray bursts of pure O2 like lung-boosting breath-freshener. Each contains almost 10 liters of pure oxygen, which offsets the thinner air in the mountains, whether you're lounging in the grounds or taking one of the hikes through the scenery with a Sherpa guide (each of whom carries extra tanks just in case).

"Water Library"
Hotel: Trump International Hotel, Chicago
Details: This soaring, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill–designed tower thoughtfully includes kitchens in all its 339 rooms, and each features a Sub-Zero fridge that doubles as a mini-bar (albeit one with a poetically named "Water Library"). Donald, the famous teetotaling developer-cum-hotelier, ditched bottles of his own brand vodka in favor of four hard-to-find waters: Welsh Tau, Australian Tasmanian Rain, 420 from the South Island of New Zealand (all $10/bottle), and the Paris Hilton–ready Bling H20. Sure, Bling H2O is virgin spring water, but the real lure is its Swarovski crystal–studded bottle—which ups the price tag to a champagne-matching $25.

Pittsburgh Pirates (47-42) at St. Louis Cardinals (48-42), 8:15 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Pittsburgh - Vance Worley (2-1, 2.28) St. Louis - Carlos Martinez (2-3, 3.91)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Cardinals got the best of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of their four-game series and look to take another one Tuesday at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals won Monday's opener in dramatic fashion, as Matt Adams belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning. Adams had two of St. Louis' three hits and Jon Jay added the other one.
"Able to get Adams to do something special, we needed that. Great at-bat," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
Adam Wainwright was aiming to become the National League's first 12-game winner and did not figure into the decision with seven scoreless innings, five strikeouts and three walks. Pat Neshek pitched the ninth for the win (3-0).
St. Louis has won four of six games and pulled within four games of Milwaukee for first place in the NL Central. The Brewers lost to Philadelphia Monday.
Carlos Martinez will try to pitch St. Louis to another win when he takes the mound Tuesday. He has won his last two decisions and defeated San Francisco on the road in last Thursday's 7-2 victory, allowing one run in five innings.
Martinez is 2-3 with a 3.91 ERA and will make his first career start against Pittsburgh. He is 0-1 with a 5.68 in six relief appearances.
The Pirates lost for just the fourth time in the past 16 games and kicked off a seven-game road trip.
Starling Marte and Neil Walker had two hits apiece and Justin Wilson served up Adams' home run in the ninth. Pirates starter Charlie Morton threw seven shutout innings of one-hit ball with five K's and two walks.
"He had nasty stuff today," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Morton. "Today was all about the sinker."
Walker is riding a nine-game hitting streak, going 10-for-30 (.303).
The Pirates were 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base. The start of the game was delayed 47 minutes due to rain before there was another stoppage for 11 minutes.
Pirates young star Gregory Polanco struck out in a pinch-hitting role and is expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday. Polanco was 0-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
Pittsburgh has gone 13-8 in its last 21 games away from PNC Park and has won five straight road series. The last time Pittsburgh won six consecutive road series was back in 1938.
Pirates starters have gone 15-6 in the last 28 games and Vance Worley will try to push the mark to 16 when he takes the mound Tuesday. Worley will make his fifth start with the Buccos and lost to Arizona on last Thursday's 10-2 setback, as he gave up three runs in seven innings.
Worley is 2-1 with a 2.28 ERA and has won both of his career starts against the Cardinals.
Pittsburgh and St. Louis have split 10 meetings this season. Each of the last four games in this series has been decided by two runs or less.

1. Isolate the center of interest from other elements in the scene. Lines running through the main subject, either in front of or behind it, tend to diminish its impact. Especially distracting is an object such as a telephone pole that appears to be growing from a person's head. This type of compositional goof can be avoided by careful examination of the background as you hold the camera up to your eye.
2. Shoot at an angle. If you are not satisfied with the way it looks head-on, move around or have the subject turn so that you are shooting at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, or whatever angle looks best. This will add interest to the photograph as well as enhance depth perspective - the illusion of three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional image. Converging lines and the diminished size of distant objects are two factors that add to this feeling.
3. Fill the frame. The generalization is, include only what is important for the concept you wish to convey. This is a touchy one. Is the most interesting feature a building and its immediate surroundings, the building alone, or is it a unique window or door? Chances are, each of these would result in an interesting photograph. Don't limit yourself. Take a variety of shots from various distances, keeping in mind the fundamentals of a good photograph with each shot.
4. Give the camera a quarter turn when appropriate. Not all subjects lend themselves to horizontal composition. Generally, the format of the subject determines the best composition for the picture. To show the stateliness of a tall tree or building you would want to use vertical composition. Most landscape scenes and athletic events are predominantly horizontal. To determine the best format, horizontal or vertical, select the most important element in the scene and use that as your guide. If you're undecided, take horizontal and vertical shots. Either or both might give you just what you're looking for.
5. Be aware of the focal point. The focal point of a picture is the first thing that catches the eye of the viewer. It could be the center of interest, but not necessarily. It might be a brightly colored object, something of unusual size or shape, or something unexpected. Whatever it is, the focal point should be supplementary, if it's not the subject itself, and not compete with the primary subject. With the camera up to your eye, look for an object, or maybe a ray of sunlight, that demands your attention. Is it distracting, or does it add to the mood of the picture? If it distracts from the center of interest, try to remove it, either physically, or by your moving around or changing your angle of view.
Remember, composition is a conscious placement of the subject matter as you see it through the viewfinder. Now that you know the rules of composition, you can use them or break them as you see fit. Either way, it should be a conscious decision.

What ''American Pie'''s Tara Reid has been up to
'PIE' CHARACTER Victoria ''Vicky'' Lathum, the girl who strives for perfection in everything she does -- from choosing a college to losing her virginity. (Reid's character doesn't return for ''Wedding.'')
CLAIM TO FAME With a dozen unmemorable movies before ''Pie,'' Reid needed a box office boost. She got it, only to squander her mojo on the tepid ''Just Visiting'' (2001) and ''Josie and the Pussycats'' (2001). These days, Reid is again a topic of Hollywood discussion -- but it's more for her myriad romances and hard-partying lifestyle (can you say ''Make it a double, Paris!'') than for her film career.
WHAT'S NEXT The good news: Her upcoming ''My Boss's Daughter'' (Aug. 22) costars the sizzling Ashton Kutcher. The bad news? The film is being released after long delays and reshoots. Even if ''Daughter'' becomes a surprise hit, it may not be enough to help Reid escape her bad-girl reputation.

The morning routine
Almost every early morning begins with our dog Maggie and I walking around the neighborhood. She loves these walks and will dance about while I get the harness and leash ready for her — to be honest I look forward to them also.
Last week there were a couple of mornings of fog and mist the rising sun touched with a beautiful orange-yellow glow. I'm thankful in our case it's fog/mist and not spreading smoke from wildfires as they're experiencing out west.
Returning from our walk Maggie and I make our way to our front porch for a while…her to watch everyone getting up and about and I with a cup of coffee and my iPad to catch up on the world.
Routines…gotta love the good ones…the ones which provide stable and enjoyable anchors in life!

Theatre Kavanah, a new performance group dedicated to work reflecting the Jewish experience, presents three encore performances in Middlebury, Stowe, and Burlington of their staged reading of "The Chosen" on March 7, 9, and 10.
Adapted from Chaim Potok's novel by Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok, "The Chosen" immerses its audience in the lives of two boys, two fathers, and two distinct Jewish communities, "five blocks and a world apart." Set against the backdrop of World War II, the revelation of the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel, the play is at once heartbreaking and hopeful. Its themes of struggle, transformation, and, ultimately, understanding transcend time and circumstance.

Van Morrison Gives Rare Interview
Van Morrison has slammed music publications in a rare interview on BBC Radio 4 today (March 10).
Speaking to 'The Today Programme' Morrison was commenting on the subjects that have inspired his first studio album in nine years 'Keep It Simple'.
The album, nearly his 40th release is set for release next Monday (March 17) and Morrison said in the broadcast this morning: "Basically, I'm a simple guy in a complicated business. I've never been comfortable with fame, so that's what a lot of this material is about."
He also added that he thinks: "There's an obsession at the moment with what some people call the comics and what I call the propaganda magazines, Mojo, Q Magazine, The Word…there's this obsession with the past. It's like no one has moved on. The marketplace is going backwards."
A follow-up programme will air on 'The Today Programme' later this week, with a panel debating Morrison's criticsms.

Apple's trial against Samsung, which resumed today, has hit another milestone – Apple rested its case against Samsung today after a somewhat shocking testimony from a financial expert who indicated that the Cupertino manufacturer may have lost up to 2 Million device sales (including both iPhones and iPads) because of Samsung's alleged infringement. This testimony came after last week's revelation that Apple asked Samsung for up to $30 per smartphone and $40 per tablet device for patent licensing.
Last Updated: May 14th, 2012
Samsung is well-known for its ubiquity in the feature-phone market, and it's starting to look like they'll be employing the same assault-on-all-sides approach with Android phones too. As if they aren't struggling already to keep their phones up to date, Sammy is now digging a deeper hole with today's announcement of four budget-oriented devices set to prop up the rather premium Galaxy S.

Starting from the bottom, we have the Galaxy mini, intended to be a "first smartphone" for those crazy, hip youths you keep reading about.

This engine was designed by Victor Lougheed, elder brother to Allan and Malcolm Loughead, founders of the Lockheed Aircraft Company. Lougheed designed and built the engine in 1911 and the Taft-Peirce Manufacturing Company of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, manufactured it. It was made almost entirely of Krupp chrome nickel steel at a cost of $15,000, the crankcase and cylinders being turned from solid billets weighing approximately 908 kg (2,000 lb.)
Fuel and lubrication were forced into the cylinders through bypasses in the sides of the cylinders and pistons. The multiple system of poppet valves, of which there were six in the head of each power-producing cylinder, provided for excellent and rapid scavenging of combustion gases. The eight air pumps, projecting from the lower part of the crankcase, maintained in the crankcase at all times a compression of air which was expelled through the cylinders on the exhaust stroke, and assisted in keeping the cylinders cool.
Gift of Frederick S. Blackall, Jr., President and Treasurer, Taft-Peirce Manufacturing Company.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts
Posted in ECB Coaches Association
So, who would have thought? Gloucestershire actually win something!
Having been in post for just over a year now as a Cricket Development Officer for Women and Girls cricket at Gloucestershire I was initially greeted with jokes about our relative success compared to other counties. Girls' cricket was on the map in a limited way but generally there wasn't too much to shout about and certainly nothing at a national level.
So....I say 'Gloucestershire win something' – this is probably me jumping on a proverbial bandwagon somewhat. What I am actually referring to is Colston's School winning the Lady Taverners U13 Indoor Championships at the MCC Indoor School at Lord's.
From 2009-2010 we experienced a 200 per cent increase in the number of schools participating in the competition in Gloucestershire and while Colston's were strong in local rounds they also faced some stiff competition on their way to the regional finals. This in hindsight highlights exactly how far girls' cricket has come in the last 12 months and suggests an exciting 12 months ahead.
It is probably important to mention at this point (before the girls moan at me!) that Colston's Under 15 girls were runners up at the Under 15 National finals too!
What exactly was my involvement then? Well in the ever-so-slightly quieter period between September-December I ran an afterschool club for Colston's whereby a total mix of ages and abilities attended. Within this club we focused initially on the basics of the game to ensure everybody had a similar baseline level of skill before looking more at match play and tactics to give the girls as much chance as possible to win games.
Normally my tactical advice spans as far as 'just smash it' (an instinct girls sometimes need a little help with) however given the fact that 'smashing it' tends to mean the ball rebounds off the nets to a) the stumps and b) the fielders, we instead worked on hitting gaps and running hard between the wickets.
Thankfully on the tournament day the girls held onto such advice – we had set a target of having four scoring shots per over whereby the girls hit the net and complete a single (scoring 3), this gives a scoring rate of 12 an over and an innings total of 120. This wasn't always managed but it did give a focus to the batting innings without any high risk shots.
More importantly the girls totally ignored me when I dared them to 'go long' and hit some sixes and just stuck to the original game-plan. In fact the girls didn't really need me at all on the tournament day so I resigned myself to the roles of official paparazzi, chief negotiator with the Concierge chap at the Danubius hotel and with the responsibility of keeping Liz (Colston's PE teacher) calm and free of palpitations.
The day proved to be thought-provoking in indentifying exactly what it is that leads to success. Quite evidently there were players in the opposing teams that were stronger, girls that bowled the ball faster and hit the ball harder yet a team without any eye-catching 'stars' managed to dominate in the tournament. Is it team spirit? Is it a clear game plan? Is it strength in depth? Or discipline that leads a team to victory?
All of these things of course must contribute to success; ultimately in this instance I believe the 'whole' was worth more than the 'sum of its parts' and serves as a handy reminder that success can be generated by bringing out the best in what is available to you.

Kwooty 1.1.0 Released
Kwooty 1.1.0 has just landed !
So what's new with this freshly release ? :
- Nzb name and corresponding data folder renaming : nzb row name and its download folder can be renamed together to get a proper name.To perform a nzb/folder renaming:
- select a nzb row to apply renaming
- hit « F2 » keyboard shortcut (the same as Dolphin file manager) or perform a moose right click to display context menu
step 1 : select the row you wish to rename
step 2 : Hit F2 and set a new name
step 3 : row has been renamed…
…and download folder has also been renamed
- Nzb row and corresponding data deletion : in the same way as nzb/foler renaming, it is now possible to delete nzb row from kwooty and deleting corresponding download folder at the same time:
- Just select the nzb line to apply data deletion from context menu or by hitting «SHIFT+DEL » keyboard shortcut.
nzb/download folder deletion
- Show/hide menu bar : «CTRL+M » will allow to hide/unhide menu bar
- When a desktop session is restored, avoid useless connections to servers when there are no pending downloads: when kwooty is launched during a desktop session is restored, it will now connect automatically to servers only if pending downloads exists. This will avoid kwooty querying kwallet and then prompting user for entering password on each desktop restoration (feature request).
- Better kwallet handling when asking for password : kwallet querying is now performed after kwooty as been fully started.
- Unrar 5 support : unpacking with unrar should now be working.
Note to German users:
German translation is incomplete as new strings added from this release are not translated at this time !
You may experiment German/English string mixing. I apologize about that but if you wish to contribute to complete the translation do not hesitate to send me an email : xavier.kwooty (gmail.com).
Kwooty 1.0.1 Released
Kwooty 1.0.1 as been released.
This is a bug fix release, below the short changelog:
- Lower mandatory KDE version from 4.7 to 4.6 to build kwooty
- Fix bug: when successfully downloaded folder was transferred into favorite folder by Category plugin, "Downloads" button would jump into favorite folder instead on jumping into the proper child folder
See you,
Kwooty 1.0.0 Released
Kwooty 1.0.0 is now out !
Although there is a major version number bump, this is a classical release that brings several improvements like the previous releases, also the main window has not been revamped and remains the same as 0.9.0 version:
Below the traditional change-log:
- Nzb merging feature: contents of two nzb items can be merged together (available from context menu). This could be useful, for example, to add missing archive or par2 files from another source:
Merge destination choosing via context menu
Merge confirmation
Merge process result
Remark: This option will only be enabled if the source and target of nzb items have their download process not yet finished or if their verif/extract process has failed.
- Manual extract: available from context menu if automatic extract process option is disabled.
This action can be performed via context menu if post download process options have been disabled in settings.
- Categories plugin: a new option has been added in plugin settings that let user choose a custom transfer folder from context menu (by right clicking on nzb item) and selecting "Transfer folder".
The manually chosen folder will supersede any other favorite or default folders.
New options from Category plugin settings
Choose target folder from context menu
Finally, when a folder is manually chosen, the nzb item tool-tip will display the chosen folder path:
File Name tool-tip will display manually chosen target folder
- Categories plugin: new option that to allow to choose a default transfer folder for all successful downloads.
If there is no favorite folder that matches the mime types of extracted files or if mime types with folder association is disabled, all successfully extracted downloads will be moved into the default folder.Remark: that setting "Download Folder" and "Transfer Folder" within the same File System is much more efficient as the moving file job will not have to perform a physical data copy.
- In several cases, it can happend that server would not send data correctly (e.g: the maximum data limit size has been reached during download or the connection to server can be broken).
Now when download retry is performed, all connections to servers are now reestablished before retrying downloads.
- Segment data cache management enhanced in order to not get any memory contention in case of extremely low disk write speed (should fix issue #3601043).
- Distinguish nzb items from each others if they have the same name (a suffix is added to nzb file name item).
If a nzb file is added and has the same name as a previously added nzb file the file name item will be renamed, a new download folder will be created accordingly.
- In server settings, a warning icon will appear near "Host", "Login" and "Password" fields if leading or trailing white-space have been detected (feature request #3599282). This should be handy to avoid potential connection issues with server if unhappy white-space are inserted in one of this three fields.
User is notified that field contains withe-space
- Par2 verifying progress percent is now estimated. As par2 command line does not bring this kind of information, this one is estimated by checking the number of files remaining the be verified.
- "Start all" / "Pause all" actions are now properly enabled or disabled according to global download status.
- Several code optimization.
That's all for this release.
As usual, I like to mention it, thanks to all the contributors: the devoted translators and the people who take time to fill bug report, feature request or leave a message there !
See you,
Kwooty 0.9.1 Released
Kwooty 0.9.1 is now out.
Below the small changelog:
- fix bug: main window display could pop-up upon desktop login whereas it was minimized during logout. Now main window property should be correctly restored on next desktop login
That's all for this release !
Kwooty 0.9.0 Released
Hi there,
Here kwooty 0.9.0 release, let's take a look at the main window:
And then, the traditional detailed change-log:
- New plugin: "Categories". This plugin allows to transfer downloaded contents to favorites folders defined in the plugin settings (it is possible to assign a particular favorite folder for each type of content).
"Categories" plugin
The plugin works like this:
As usual, after a nzb download is complete, the downloaded content is extracted in the target folder that owns the name of the nzb.
The "Categories" plugin will then look at the file type of each files located in the nzb download folder. According to size and type of each downloaded file, a unique main file type will be revealed.
If a favorite folder has been assigned for this corresponding file type, then the nzb download folder will be transferred in the favorite folder.
Here is a short example:
A file named "myNzb.nzb" is appended in kwooty. After downloading and extracting processes, the content of /my/download/folder/myNzb is:
- 1 .zip file of 500 MiB
- 4 .txt files of 60 KiB each
- 2 .iso files of 300 MiB each
In this case, the guessed main file type will be x-cd-image as, for the same kind of file types, the biggest total file size is 600 MiB (2 .iso * 300 MiB).
The myNzbFile folder will then be transferred in the favorite folder defined for "Applications> Raw Cd Image" category.
Note that you can jump into favorite folder by clicking on "Dowloads" button in toolbar when transfer is complete.
If you wish to specify a favorite folder for "Raw Cd Image" contents, follow the 3 followings steps:
Step 1: In Categories plugin settings, click on "Add Category" button, then select "application" item and click on "OK":
Step 2: The following dialog box will then appear (you can edit it whenever by clicking on "Edit Subcategory" button). For "application" category, look for "raw CD image", then validate with "OK":
Step 3: The "raw CD image" will then appear in the main Category plugin settings window. Finally choose a favorite folder for this subcategory and you're done:
- Scheduler plugin: bypass feature added.
Scheduler can now be bypassed for items manually set on "Start" or "Pause" or both (to be configured in Scheduler settings).
- Scheduler plugin: new nzb items can now automatically be set on Pause when appended (note that this feature is enabled only if "Always limit download speed" is checked)
- Scheduler plugin: better download/pause behavior.
Previously when a nzb was appended during a Pause time, download was beginning for a few seconds before being set on pause by the scheduler.
This was the same when a manual Start or Pause action was performed on a nzb, the scheduler changed the nzb status as expected but after a couple of seconds.
Now Start/Pause actions manually performed on a nzb will no more interfere with scheduler: these actions will be ignored (unless Start/Pause bypass feature is enabled)
- New option "Display tiny file names" in "Display Mode" settings (enabled by default).
"Display tiny file names" setting
This feature will try to keep only the essential name among unusual information found in file names from nzb files.
Below what it looks like:
Display tiny file names enabled
Display tiny file names disabled
- Better distinction of par2 files: to improve readability, name of par2 files is displayed in gray
Par2 file names displayed in gray
- The mean download speed of each server has been added nearby its current download speed in the server statistics panel (feature request):
Current download speed – Mean download speed
- Bug fix: maximized setting about server statistics panel was sometimes not correctly restored between kwooty's sessions
That's all for this release !
Before ending, I would like to thank all the packagers and especially all the translators: Michael, Pavel, Yurienu thanks a lot for you great job and availability !
For the future releases, if you wish to discuss about any new feature do not hesitate to send me an email or fill a feature request on kwooty's sourceforge.
Good hollidays,
Kwooty 0.8.4 Released
Hello there,
Here is kwooty 0.8.4.
What has been fixed/added:
- Fix issue #3528297: shutdown was not working on gnome 3. Shutdown management has been changed in gnome3 and strategy used for gnome 2 was not working anymore. Refactoring has also been done to allow easier shutdown management according to DE used. Currently dbus commands are used to shutdown/suspend system on gnome 3.
- Feature added: if kwooty has been minimized in system tray, keep main window hidden when a nzb is loaded.
If everything go on as expected, next release should be 0.9.0.
Kwooty 0.8.3 Released
Hi there,
Just a short post to inform that kwooty 0.8.3 has been released :
This release does not contain code modification but complies with fedora's rpmlint.
Kwooty 0.8.2 Released
Hi folks,
kwooty 0.8.2 changelog :

kwooty 0.8.2
I would like to thank Yurienu Amenysta that performed a great job with this translation !
See you,
Kwooty 0.8.1 Released
Here is kwooty 0.8.1.
What has been fixed:
- Fix regression: when nzb file name was too long, main window width was automatically increased
- Fix bug: scheduler plugin did not pause items when requested if download limit speed was set to "No Limit"
- Fix bug: temporary files from a canceled nzb collection could not be removed if nzb collection was previously already downloaded
That's all for this release !
Kwooty 0.8.0 Released
Hello there,
Here is the new release of kwooty 0.8.0. Lets begin by the traditional screenshot of the current main window :
kwooty 0.8.0
And as usual, the detailed change-log below:
- New plugin : Automatic download retry
This plugin allows to download missing or corrupted files again automatically in order to improve chances to retrieve a correct file.
If the file collection contains par2 files, the plugin will try to download files considered are missing/corrupted or corrupted only if repair or extract process fails.
If the file does not contains any par2 files, the plugin will requeue a corrupted file immediatly, otherwise the extract process will likely fail.
- Improve readability for files whose "download retry" has been requested. Once "download retry" action on incorrect file(s) is performed, the file(s) will display the following status : "In queue (Retry)"
- Disk I/O reducing : Yenc segments are now on-the-fly decoded once downloaded. Previously, all segments were saved in different files in the temporary folder waiting for decoding process.
Now, all segments belonging to the same file are now downloaded, immediatly decoded then written in a unique temporary file. Once download is complete the file is moved to the target folder.
- The "download retry" feature now re-downloads only segments that are either missing or corrupted. (Previously all segments from a file were downloaded again)
- Feature request : added shortcut towards bandwidth throttle configuration.
If bandwidth manager plugin is active, the download limit and scheduler settings can directly be accessed by double clicking on the speed text located on bottom right in the status bar.
- When pending downloads are restored at a new start-up, "Pause" status from previous session is now kept.
- Icons next to nzb file name now notify the user to quickly check the current status of the file collection :
When downloading, the icon remains the same as previously :
When Pause / Idle, the icon will be displayed as semi-transparent :
If no files at all have been found of the server, the icon of the collection will look like this :
Finally, if a post download process job (verify/repair or extract process) has failed, the following icon will be displayed :
- Better consistency between Connections/Disconnection icons. The same icon is now used and painted in gray for Disconnection status
- Font color and typo of labels in sidebar have been changed to improve readability
- Fix compilation issue with new power management API from KDE SC 4.8
That's all for that time, merry Xmas holidays.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Hannah!
Facts about Hannah
- Breed: Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Hannah's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Hannah!
Dogs: YES | Cats: YES | Kids: YES
Hannah is a very small Shepherd mix, at only 25 to 30 pounds. She is about 2 years old and she is incredibly sweet and submissive. She absolutely LOVES love!
Hannah should be OK in a home with dogs, cats, or children, but children must be dog-friendly and know how to behave around a dog. She's a very submissive pup and may become scared of a child who would attempt to pull her tail for example.
More information to come, so stay tuned!
Other Pets at LEASH Animal Welfare Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hannah, a Pitt Meadows Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Pitt Meadows, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Pitt Meadows.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pitt Meadows already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pitt Meadows breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pitt Meadows paves the way for another one to be saved.

May 18th 2009 4:15PM True it gives less AP, but an enhance shaman still benefits from it through the 30% ap=sp talent. They only changed it in lich king because of the homoginization of armor, so to make what was normally hunter mail good to them, they nerfed strength and added the 100%int=ap talent to make up for it. I haven't played mine it a bit, but the way I see it it's still a good stat to have. It also scales with Kings. I haven't played my enhance shammy in a while, but last I remember he tore through things pretty easily.
And slim, I'm not sure if 2h axes can be used by druids, but I said some would be good, not all. Staffs and some maces still seem more statted towards a druid. I've only seen a druid use the Staff of Trickery, though a hunter or two have rolled on it before.
Solving the mathmatical tangles of ArPen {WoW}
May 18th 2009 3:41PM Like Ohtar said, it reduces the target's armor by a percentage, not a flat number. So if it reduced it by 10% and you had two targets, one with 1k and one with 100k, that 1k would only lose 100 while the 100k loses 10k.
If I remember, it used to be a flat number, but Blizz changed it in TBC so people with a bit would be hitting clothies like they had none.
Otherwise... yeah, really hate ArPen, all the gear in lich king when you started was loaded with the crap and it annoyed the hell out of me. Still don't really get the math behind it, still don't like it.
Solving the mathmatical tangles of ArPen {WoW}
May 18th 2009 3:35PM And aren't you the same dumbass who posted that strength is not an important stat for enhance shamans, or that druids should only be stuck to staffs and maces when some axes actually would do great for dps druids?
Yeah, I don't think YOU should post anymore.

Why Women Lose Money Power & How To Get It Back
That's the heavy pressure that caused me to not try, and so then, it caused me to "fail" automatically~making the belief that was never mine, even more believable, and partly true. Carrying someone else's vision and view as my own depleted my spirit, passion, and potential.
The issue of money runs deep in women's lives, and when we look at what is driving our life patterns, money is often at the root, dictating our decisions, who we love, the friends and business partners we have, and what we accomplish~or don't. We have been encouraged to follow rules and a traditional male perspective about money that never included anything about emotion, intuition, soul, or personality, and that traps and damages women's potential and spirit.
If you want to shift someone else's beliefs out of your mind, heart, and soul, you can capture powerful insight and freedom. I'm working on releasing the wrong beliefs that became my own, and it's a process that takes time and courage. The least we can do for ourselves, is become aware of the false things we've been taught to believe, and try to undo them so we can live authentically. These beliefs given to us were, in essence, meant to reassure the thought-planter that we would be okay. Their fears from their life became our own, and no doubt, we are passing a little something of our own on to our kids as well, without even realizing it.
I invite you to challenge the things you've been told, taught, or believed to be true if they aren't working for you, or if they are stopping you from accomplishing more for yourself. Our beliefs are supposed to make us strong and unstoppable. If yours don't, they didn't come from you~and they need to be replaced.
If you are ready to get a little feel for what it might be like to break free from the burden of old beliefs, I am hosting a Mini Money telecourse just for women on March 19th. I'll be talking all about a refreshing, simple, and girly approach to money that will start putting you back in your power quickly. I hope you explore your options; you won't regret the peace and opportunity it brings. It's never a mistake to Invest in yourself.

In the New Testament, the fatherly love of God for humans and their reciprocal love for God. The term extends to the love of one's fellow humans. The Church Fathers used the Greek term to designate both a rite using bread and wine and a meal of fellowship that included the poor. The historical relationship between this meal, the Lord's Supper, and the Eucharist, the meal of fellowship and the sacrament, is uncertain.

Capcom Europe has confirmed that it tends to undergo a major restructure and that will result in the lay offs of more than half of its staff.
This restructure will eventually merge a number of jobs, causing the existing employees a slight degree of pain and frustration. According to a report by MCVUK, the restructuring was a necessary one for Capcom and was expected. The company has had a difficult year with many of its big titles failing to rake in the desired amount of revenue.
"Following a restructure at its U.S. operation, Capcom's European organization is currently evaluating its structure to ensure it is in the best position to take advantage of the changing market conditions the industry is facing," a representative from Capcom said in a statement provided to Polygon.
Capcom reported a significant drop in their annual income earlier this year but last month the company saw a glimmer of hope with a slightly increased revenue, despite poor game sales. In an investor's meeting back then, the company revealed that major titles like DmC: Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6 failed to meet their expected sales targets.
Capcom is now looking towards the prospect of next-gen with their medieval dungeon crawling role-playing game Deep Down for the PlayStation 4. The game is looking great and hopefully will make it big for Capcom.
Saqib is our leading news editor with his posts helping to make up the brunt of our daily news posts. He's a PC gamer at heart, and his favorite game is Diablo II.
Considering what they've been doing to their franchises I am not in the least bit surprised.
Actually dont care for deep down i really wanna play dead rising 3
Cashcom is bs always releasing games with in game dlc and reselling the same product months after with small or little benefits instead of just releasing it as dlc and call it the ultimate or ultra edition

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hi guys and girls. I had a member write in complaining about a report.
report is Colombia, Venezuela: A Presidential Meeting and a Short-Term
which is located here,
After reading the report myself, it is possible a few words might be
