'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ Officially Declared the Worst Movie of 2012
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on February 24, 2013 | Comments (3)The 33rd annual Golden Raspberry Awards — or Razzies — were held yesterday in Santa Monica, and for the first time in the series' history, the Twilight Saga took the top (dis)honor of Worst Picture. Excluding the initial installment, each of the Twilight movies have been nominated for this award, but the final sequel, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, has seemingly been chosen as representative of the whole franchise. Kind of like the negative parallel to how Return of the King won Best Picture for the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. Breaking Dawn – Part 2 also won Razzies this year for Worst Actress (Kristen Stewart, whose award also credits Snow White and the Huntsman), Worst Supporting Actor (Taylor Lautner), Worst Screen Couple (Lautner and Mackenzie Foy), Worst Director (Bill Condon), Worst Ensemble and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. It lost its nominees for Worst Actor (Adam Sandler was chosen for That's My Boy over Robert Pattinson), Worst Supporting Actress (Rihanna won for Battleship over Ashley Greene) and Worst Screenplay (That's My Boy was preferred). The film had also been up against itself in the Worst Screen Couple category, with Pattinson and Stewart losing to Lautner and Foy.
The 33rd Annual Razzie Awards Nominate All the Usual Crap
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhile many would like to think that snark was something born of the Internet age, the fact that the Razzie Awards for Worst Achievements in Film are now in their thirty-third year pretty demonstrably proves that to be untrue. There's an uncomfortable truth at the center of all this, which is, to snark, to pass judgment, to make fun of things that fail publicly and spectacularly—it's all kind of fun, at least in a sick way. If it wasn't, something like The Razzies wouldn't be able to stick around this long. In recent years, however, the film industry's laser focus on building franchises and sticking to the same formulas has taken a little bit of the fun out of seeing who gets picked on for being the worst of the year. A crop of usual suspects has developed, making the announcement that the latest Twilight movie and the latest Adam Sandler comedy have earned the lion's share of the nominations something of a tedious formality. So, here we are, having yet again sat through another Twilight movie and another Adam Sandler comedy, and, sure enough, it seems that they've once again gotten the bulk of the nominations. If there's any new narrative going on, it's that Madea's Witness Protection seems to have annoyed the people who vote for the Golden Raspberries more than usual. Perhaps that's due to Jack & Jill making men in drag a more contemptible offense after last year, or perhaps it's because they're trying to set […]
Mahalo, Mofos!: The 'Battleship' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on August 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBy now, you've come to realize that 2012 was the year of Taylor Kitsch. It hasn't necessarily been a good year for him, but it has indeed been his year in movies. Between a disappointing turn in John Carter and a underwhelming Savages, he ran off to join the Navy and fight aliens in Battleship. This is quite possibly his best performance yet, considering his acting in this flick is Oscar-worthy compared to co-star Rihanna. You can check it out for yourself because Battleship hits DVD and Blu-ray this week. Based on the popular Hasbro board game, Battleship chronicles the story of an alien invasion attacking Naval warships near Pearl Harbor. You remember the aliens from the board game, don't you? If not, have a few drinks while you watch the film, and it will soon all be clear. (Hint: It won't be clear at all.)
Anti-Film School Director Peter Berg Wanted Authenticity From His 'Battleship'
Features By Jack Giroux on May 18, 2012 | Comments (5)When a "loose" adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game Battleship was announced, it didn't take a genius to figure out what type of film was in the making: big, loud, manic summer fun. The man to deliver on that promise was none other than Peter Berg, a director whose filmography ranges from Friday Night Lights to Hancock. After over three years of working on the film, Berg didn't make a film that passes itself off as anything it's not; he's made Battleship. Battleship features the expected markings of all commercial tentpole films, something Berg did not want to shy away from. As the anti-film school director put it, he wanted to make a global event film, one that doesn't take itself too seriously. When your film's based on a popular board game, how could you? Berg, along with his potential blockbuster, could not be more self-aware. Here is what Battleship director Peter Berg had to say about letting life inform storytelling, his organic and actor-friendly approach to filmmaking, and how to keep your sanity while crafting a $200m event film:
Luke Evans Confirmed to Play Head of Rival Faction in Sixth 'Fast and Furious'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThere's been plenty of buzz about potential casting in the sixth Fast and Furious film (seriously, the sixth film), which we're just going to refer to as Fast Six until someone tells us otherwise, but it's been hard to quantify any of it without knowing the plot that these new characters would fit into. Fortunately, today we're gifted with some confirmed casting (beyond, of course, the core crew who are all expected to return) and the first bit of real plot information for the film. As had been rumored last week, Luke Evans is in final negotiations to play the bad guy in Fast Six – not necessarily a villain (though that's what been widely reported), but at least a dude audiences will likely be rooting against. The news comes from Variety, who detail his character by expounding a bit more on the film's plot – it will "involve the crew heading overseas to work on a heist job. Evans would play the leader of another crew trying to pull the same job." See! Not a bad guy! He's just like Paul Walker! Or Vin Diesel! Maybe we'll end up liking him! It's happened before!
Is Rihanna Going to Play the Villain in Sixth 'Fast and Furious' Film?
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on April 30, 2012 | Comments (1)Looks like Rihanna has found a career in an unexpected place (forgive me), as the pop star is now reportedly set to join the sixth film in the recently revitalized The Fast and the Furious franchise. The Sun reports (via Cinema Blend) that Rihanna will play the villain in Fast Six or Fasixth or Another Fast Movie or whatever they're calling it these days, a gig she snagged based on, of all things, the strength of her performance in Battleship. A "source" (who is apparently a huge Rihanna fan) is quoted as saying, "Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship. Writers think she'll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn't take any prisoners — just like her in real life." Of course, this news might need to be taken with a grain of salt – mainly because the Sun seems convinced that the last Fast film took place in Tokyo, so they might not be the most trustworthy of sources when it comes to all things fast and furious. While our own Cole Abaius sunk Battleship in his review, he did note that the pop singer "is one of the few actually trying hard to deliver a real performance," so reports of Rihanna impressing bigwigs with her work isn't too insane, though it might be hard for most Americans to swallow before we actually get a chance to see Battleship on this side of the pond. The film opens in the U.S. on […]
New 'Battleship' Trailer Shows Off Huge Action While Iron Man Battles the Transformers
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 13, 2012 | Comments (2)Look, Battleship will probably end up proving that it has at least a few original ideas in its head. Someone out there has to have shoved in one or two scenes that don't look exactly like other movies, but the trailers certainly aren't out to prove that. Nevertheless, it's time to stop ragging on this flick for being a moronic idea and time to start ragging on it as a clear patchwork of other movies. Somehow, Universal has bypassed the need to do Hollywood math by simply copying and pasting directly from other films that have been successful. Why make something like Iron Man or like Transformers when you can go ahead and just make them again under a different name. Watch this new trailer and try to say with a straight face that the alien design isn't Iron Man with a paint job. Watch the giant building collapse and try not to think up 5 other movies within the past 2 years where it's happened (and try extra hard not to imagine the exact same scene in Dark of the Moon). No one says much of anything. Probably a good thing. But, whew, the action sure does look eye-popping.
Super Bowl Ad for 'Battleship' Shows Rihanna Go Boom
Movie News By Rob Hunter on February 5, 2012 | Comments (5)Director Peter Berg is making his bid for A-level status (box office-wise) this summer with an adaptation of the Hasbro game Battleship. That, by the way, is a complete misuse of the term 'adaptation' seeing as the game has zero story elements to adapt. Maybe if the movie featured naval combatants going head to head and controlled by unseen forces? Or if the aliens were manipulating ships to fight each other? I don't know, I'm just spit-balling here, but you can see how difficult it would be to make a good movie from the game. So why do it? Obviously Universal is hoping to find the same success with Hasbro that Paramount has with their Transformers movies, but it's still so nonsensical. The Battleship name offers no recognizable pull for audiences. These aren't fighting robots that viewers have seen in action previously on TV or via toys in their hands…this is a board game with no moving pieces. The film could exist exactly as is under a different name and would end up with the exact same box office results. Check out the new ad below.
Second 'Battleship' Trailer Transforms Into Something Derivative
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 9, 2011 | Comments (7)The first glimpse we got of Peter Berg's upcoming board game adaptation (it hurts me somewhere deep to have to type those words) played a little coy with us, and at first made it look like the film would be sticking to the Battleship board game's naval battle roots. Once a spaceship popped up and the whole thing turned into an alien invasion movie, it was kind of a surprise. This second look at Battleship, however, doesn't bother to take any time tying this movie to the board game at all. It's all alien invasion from beginning to end. And with a color palette very reminiscent of Michael Bay's Transformers movies, a bunch of elaborately techno ships and weapons that look like they're right out of Michael Bay's Transformers movies, sound effects that seem to be ripped from Michael Bay's Transformers movies, and a big ol' headline that says this movie is from the company that brought you Michael Bay's Transformers movies, I think it's safe to say that Universal is aiming this thing less at fans of grid based strategy games and more at fans of Michael Bay's big, dumb Transformers movies. It leaves me with a question: if this movie isn't going to have anything to do with naval battles at all, why even attach it to the Battleship name? Why not just admit what you're doing and call it Gobots? Check out the new trailer below.
Movie News After Dark: Battleship Rihanna, Why The Dark Knight Rises Will Suck, Short Circuit is Alive and Carl Sagan, Yo

It is our nightly promise to keep you on the up-and-up in the world of movie news, interesting links, strange occurrences and developments in the world of Breaking Bad. It is also breaking new ground this evening by defying popular opinion on the new Batman movie and featuring stories about not one, but two pop stars! Tonight's top story, a first look at pop star Rihanna in Battleship, making her big screen debut as a member of the Naval squad who happen upon some Transformers-esque alien tech in the middle of the ocean and are forced to battle it out via a decades-old board game. B2! Oh, you sunk my interest in her character.
'Transformers' Impregnated By 'Skyline,' Gives Birth to 'Battleship' Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 27, 2011 | Comments (5)Seriously folks. Battleship may very well turn out to be a fun action flick, but this trailer makes it look like a massive chore to sit through. Directed by Peter Berg (who has proven that he knows good character and story), this film shows off the talents of Liam Neeson's one-liner abilities as well as the fill-in-the-blanks action prowess of Dolph Lundgern's son Taylor Kitsch. It goes strictly by the book, and the comparison to Transformers and Skyline is so apt that you can still see the afterbirth pooling around the edges if you look hard enough. So, look hard:
Out to Sea: First Looks at Rihanna's 'Battleship' and Ian McShane in 'Pirates'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 2, 2010 | Comments (3)One is a movie based on a board game. One is the fourth installment to a franchise based off an amusement park ride. Both are what the people have been holding their breath in nervous anticipation for. Luckily, both are delivering in the ridiculousness department. Because that's a real department. It's true. I've driven by a movie set before, so I know. A few intrepid spies have nabbed some shots of Rihanna and her non-regulation haircut for Battleship, and the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides main line up. Obviously looking at these set photos are a bit like looking at an X-ray and trying to figure out what color eyes the person has, but they're good enough for a laugh for now. Sarcasm aside, I have high hopes for both films because seeing a big sci-fi warship movie would be cool, and seeing a return to form for the Pirates franchise would be even better. Still, Rihanna is an absurd casting choice, and she looks just as absurd as you'd imagine, and Ian McShane is a phenomenal acting presence, but dressing him up like a Gothic hobo might not be the best way to go.

In Singapore yesterday the Prime Minister and I discussed with Lord Louis Mountbatten the situation in the Netherlands East Indies.

Freshly grated horseradish emits fumes that can make your nose run and irritate your eyes, so prepare it in a well-ventilated area, or even outside if your eyes are extremely sensitive. First, peel a 3- to 4-inch section of root as you would a carrot. Cut it into half-inch chunks and drop them in a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup cold water and a bit of crushed ice and grind to a fine texture. Have some white-wine or rice-wine vinegar handy.
Hot or Not?
Customize the heat of your horseradish sauce by adding the vinegar immediately for mild horseradish, either right after grinding is complete or as you are still grinding. If you like stronger flavor, wait 3 minutes to add the vinegar. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt for each cup of grated horseradish. In either case, pulse the machine to blend in the final ingredients. If your preparation has too much liquid, simply drain some of it off through a fine strainer until you get the consistency you want. Store your fresh horseradish in a clean jar in the refrigerator, where it will keep its good quality for four to six weeks.
Calorie-Free Flavor
Okay, so one tablespoon of home-prepared horseradish does have a few calories (less than 7!), but it is a source of fiber, vitamin C, and folate.
Newbie hint: For smoother, straighter, fatter roots, the University of Illinois recommends removing the suckers--leaf-bearing sprouts that form above ground. When the plants are about 8 inches tall, use a sharp knife to cut off the suckers, leaving only three or four at the center of the crown.
Master's tip: Grating horseradish crushes the cells of the root, releasing the volatile oils (isothiocyanates), which give horseradish its heat. Adding vinegar stops this enzymatic reaction. The longer you wait to add the vinegar, the hotter your prepared horseradish will be.
Cooking Ideas
Most of us know horseradish as a classic accompaniment to hot or cold roast beef. Here are more imaginative ways to use the inimitable flavor of homemade horse-radish. When using horseradish in hot dishes, add it just before serving, as cooking destroys its flavor.

If you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, which college should you attend? Well, assuming you aren't a Peter Thiel disciple and agree that entrepreneurs should skip it altogether, it seems like Babson College is your best bet.
Each year, the Princeton Review surveys more than 2,000 schools and comes up with their list of the top 50 entrepreneurship programs in the United States—split evenly into undergraduate and graduate levels. The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship at Babson tops both lists. The school has offered entrepreneurship as a major since 1999, but it won't come cheap though—tuition for the undergrad program is $41,888 and a bit more at $56,620 for the graduate program.
Schools are evaluated on their programs offerings and academic requirements, the concentration of entrepreneurs among student and faculty; and, activities to enrich entrepreneurs outside of the classroom.
The best bang for your buck has to come from the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology at Brigham Young University. The program checks in at #6 for undergrad and #3 for its graduate program—with tuition costing $4,710 (undergrad) and $20,560 (grad). Not far behind Rollins is the UMKC Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Amazing that people still think it is easy to get past an Authenticator. It generates a unique six digit code every 30 seconds. Unique to the individual Authenticator. So "knowing" the code would do you mo good unless you knew the SN of the Authenticator of where in the code sequence that unique Authenticator was.
On top of that, an Authenticator code can only be used Once to log in, so if a hacker somehow keylogged you real time and enter the same code within the 30 second window it still would not work.
If a hacker manages to get you with an elaborate man in the middle scheme, yes, they could log into your account.....ONCE, but they could NOT remove the Authenticator without the SN and they could not log into your Battlenet to change your password, because the stolen code was good for only one log in.
I call that Ironclad.

Xarnlen Dec 14th 2010 8:38PM
That's correct and blizzard if people have not kept up also added fingerprinting of your system to the logon, so if the station you login all of a sudden is different you will get a request to verify it's still you. This was put in place so that when you play from two locations it now keeps track, so that hacker probably will not get in with a scammed token code in that 30 secs time window.
Xarnlen Dec 14th 2010 8:40PM
Thats correct for the @jfofla not @wow, you cannot use same number twice unless it was that rare compromised launcher that some people got infected with.
wow Dec 14th 2010 8:54PM
mmm, I may try that tonight just to see if it works, will be interesting to try
Phaded Dec 14th 2010 10:43PM
@wow , the trojan would block your computer from sending the correct authorisation code to battle.net and then send it to the authors who used that code to log into your account and comprimise it. The code was still only ever used once

Taht wont happen when i get this brand new baby

Trusting something with "ass" in the title.. seems antithetic to internet safety, but that's just me.

Hotmail uses digital signing to verify the senders of mails from popular phishing targets like paypal and blizzard. Score 1 for Microsoft

This definately isn't my favorite perfume and didn't buy it for myself but I like to wear it for daily use. It's pretty and feminine unlike the spicy, sensual scents I normally love. I rarely like really floral scents but it's a light, powdery floral which I can handle. Lots of reviews characterize it as being heavy on the violet scent but the scent that I smell most is lily of the valley. Very much a springtime scent. But I find it doesn't have much staying power. When I run out of it I'm not going to purchase it again.
I got this as a gift when i was in College - honestly I don't even remember what it smelt like. I used it all - but I don't think I was a big fan of it that's why I don't even miss it!!! Although, I am a big big big fan of Christian Dior's J'ADORE. hmm yummy@@@
Love it for its name.Remember Me...A friend of mine told me some stories about her boyfriend who was never a fan of perfumes, bought her this bottle.Really touched so I searched for this so-hard-to-find limited edition.The bottle is exactly the same as Forever and Ever, just that it's blue.It's not so floral as Forever and Ever,but it also fades away quicklier.It's so light that people will actually think it's your natural scent!
Will repurchase it if I can find another bottle!
This is not my usual type of scent, but I like it.
It's one of the better Dior limited editions - the more recent ones seem very nondescript to me.
This is basically composed of white florals, some green notes, and a bit of violet that is noticeable.
I like it because it's not overly sweet or floral, and can be worn in warm weather - not overpowering.
It's feminine without being overly heavy or sexy.
Good for professional situations.
You will smell good and feminine but not too sexy or over the top.
Tried Remember Me when it was first launched to see what all the fuss was about, but to me its scent is reminiscent of cheap bathroom air freshener. Yuck! It's one of my least favourite Dior fragrances.
This EDT reminds me of morning walks in quiet forests in early spring. It is extremely fresh, not at all fruity, all you get is the clean and crisp white flowers and violets, and a hint of green smell (iris and leaves). I've used up two bottles already, and many friends of mine are addicted to it. They complain when I use other perfumes!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not a fan of this fragrance because i don't like forget me nots or violets... but i loved the bottle. I'm a forever and ever girl.. fresh and vibrant scents so maybe this is for the girls that like really classic and old school floral scents, which are unique in todays world.
Packaging was kinda plain, just a soft blue-green matte finish to a square bottle...boring! The box it came in was much better! LOL I am a violet lover, so I really enjoyed this fragrance....VERY hard to come by as it is a L.E., but I live close to San Diego, so I just run down there, take a trolly to the boarder, hop a bus over to Tiajuana & hit the perfumeries down there & shop for the best deal. It is medium to light in intensity, lasts all day, isn't overpowering or too heady. It is light n fluffy, wearable all year 'round, has a nice floral background for the depth of the violets. I have gotten a few compliments, not a ton. Hubby likes it on me for daily "to the office" type wear, for which it is perfect...won't bother your co-workers (all of mine are men, so that is no biggie! They all say it smells real nice) won't preceed your arrival or linger long after your departure & hasn't changed on my skin or on my few girl friends who've tried it & agreed it is nice, light & not overpowering. Definately is not a "I am soooo sexy, baybee!" or a wear to the club & be a man-magnet scent! But overall, very nice, clean floral for everyday use.
I really like this perfume. I purchased it as a two for one deal with "Forever and Ever", so the price was quite good. Its a good perfume to wear if you just want to smell 'nice'. It won't really get you noticed, its not really a man magnet, although my boyfriend says its 'pretty'. I like the bottle, mint green, basic design, although when you spray it, it does come out a bit too fast.

How is recovery possible in a roll forward phase when the database instance fails?
How is recovery possible in a roll forward phase?
Recovery is possible due to two structures in your database: the online redo logs (and potentially the archived redo logs if you restore from a backup), and the undo segments.

When an instance crashes, there will be transactions that have not yet committed or rolled back. On an instance crash, we are not concerned with any transactions that have already committed. By definition, a committed transaction has its changes written to disk, so there is nothing to recover in the case of a committed transaction, provided we are just dealing with an instance failure. So the database needs to recover uncommitted transactions. The database read the last active online redo log for the most recent transactions. It uses the information there to replay those transactions just as if the database had never crashed. When the replay of all transactions is complete, the database then rolls back the effect of those transactions since they were never committed. It is safer to assume that active transactions should be rolled back rather than committed when an instance crashes. By using these two structures, the database is able to perform instance recovery.

Pitlochry News and Events
Find out what's going on in Pitlochry by reading our blog articles about the area. Click on the links below to read the full articles.
Perthshire Whisky Distilleries
Scotland is synonymous with Whisky. Originally called "Uisge Bea" in Scots Gaelic (pronounced ooshka bea - which means "Water of Life" in English). It changed as it became phonetically anglicised into whooshka be and eventually whisky. It is part and parcel of our culture in Scotland and now enjoyed worldwide although it retains its scottish origin being called "Scotch" in the USA and throughout Asia.
If Whisky is your tipple of choice, Perthshire offers the chance to visit and taste a variety of different whisky distilleries. It hosts the oldest (Glenturret in Crieff) and the smallest (Edradour in Pitlochry) distilleries in Scotland, but as the Knockendarroch House Hotel is in Pitlochry, make sure to schedule in the Eradour as well as the Blair Athol Distillery first and foremost. The other distillery of note in this area is in Aberfeldy, just to the West of Perthshire.
The 12 year old Malt produced at the Blair Athol Distillery s a reputation as one of the best in Scotland. It is not as peaty as those from the West Coast, but has more of a fruity flavour with a smooth finish. This distillery is within walking distance from the hotel.
Eradour is famed for its 10 year old single Malt. It may be a small distillery, but its whisky certainly packs a punch. This malt is handmade, so there are only 12 casks produced each week. John Reid the manager has eschewed the newer automated whisky producing methods, which makes this little gem of Scottish industry a fixture on any sightseeing schedule.

"What Most People Are Saying About Internet Dating Is Down Right Wrong! It's NOT about Copy and Paste Emails or a Profile Template. It's About Having A System Designed To Flood Your Inbox with Hundreds of Messages From Hot Women Who Want To Meet YOU"
Dear Internet Dater:
I'd like for you to take a little trip with me…
Think about having absolutely no worries finding, messaging and attracting a stream of hot women all intrigued by you and clamoring to spend time with you. And Imagine being In the top 1% of the successful guys dating in your area – heck in the world!
And Imagine having the time and freedom to decide who to date, when to date them and where to date them. No more hours sat in a bar with women who don't look like their profile, are needy, are scroungers, have 'issues' and who bore you rigid!
No more just making do with the only women you could get vaguely interested in you.
Imagine enjoying an advantage over your competitors (other guys in your area – YES, they are your competitors) that makes you the "go-to" profile on Internet Dating sites and having a stream of hot women coming to you!
Now I want you to think about all the difficulties you're going through in your dating, relationships and SEX life – right now.
Think about how hard It is to get beautiful women interested in you. And having to make do with "so-so" women and dates that you don't really like or worse ones that use you as a friend – with no payout! And that's worse than not being able to get any interest at all!
And how about the doubts and uncertainty that seem to haunt you on a daily basis? Where you start to ask questions about your ability and future:
Now think about how much you're missing out on the excitement of women chasing you, outrageous flirting, adventurous dates and X-Rated encounters. Think about how you're probably close to resigning to the fact that, "This Is good as It gets".
Or how much you seem to fall back on blaming the bar and club scene, or the quality of people on free dating sites, or the fees charged on paid sites, for the lack of dating, relationships, fun and sex you are having.
Well, I'm here to tell you that:
Now you may have taken dating advice from a well-meaning friend or even a free blog post that told you "how things are done around here" when It comes to bringing qualified, hot women to your door.
Or you may have got tied up in what's called "Shiny Object Syndrome", where you're constantly trying new "tricks" to add to your arsenal. Maybe a magic email or a copy and paste profile description.
This Includes the latest pick up line, witty response, and various "tried and true" strategies from a host of dating writers and gurus…
…the ones that were meant to work, but never did.
HI, I'm the Chief Ninja. I do have a real name which you might find out if you get to know me more, But for now let me tell you why:
Now what I'm going to tell you goes against the grain of what you've heard about dating, treating women and how to lure women into bed for sex.
And 'most people' won't agree with the secrets I've outlined in the course I'm about to tell you about.
You see, it's getting tougher and tougher to get women to respond to you, to message you, to invite you in to their busy lives and to want to date you.
You urgently need superior tools, strategies and tools to cut through the clutter and competition. You simply have to rise above the other 'bone heads' who send copy and paste emails and have laughable profile pics and descriptions, if you want any success.
Now's the best time to get the hottest women to come to you, to message you, to trust you, and to date you, even if they are resisting everyone else.
Our strategies work. Full stop. Period!
And these RESULTS are all from just a few days and aren't untypical.
Apologies (again) for the lack of feedback from my end. I had a look at the Fast Start Guide and followed the steps detailed in it. As you suggest, it was successful, in fact too successful and I got nowhere near messaging 50 women (I think it was closer to 10 when I stopped) – the reason being that I got distracted by responding to their emails. "
Now you may think I have some hidden talents that enabled me to achieve these results. But the fact is I'm just like you.
The only difference Is what I'm doing right now In my dating efforts, which are the same strategies you can easily Implement when you get instant access to the multimedia content in our members area.
And since you've found your way to this site, I consider you to be one of my "family of internet dating ninjas'. This automatically means that I care deeply that you achieve the success, dates, and fun you deserve.
I care deeply that you no longer waste more time and money on Dating strategies that don't work. And I want to rescue you from the frustration you're experiencing right now.
And I care deeply that you get back to the life you once had….or the one you desire…
A life where…
Whether you're in your 20′s,30′s,40′s,50′s or 60,s and looking for a wife, a relationship, casual dating or X -Rated encounters, you need a simple, step-by-step blueprint for maximizing your Internet Dating success…..
Your COMPLETE step by step SYSTEM for MASSIVE success with Internet Dating! And Here Is What You Will GET:
This is the perfect place to start to hit the ground running. The Fast Start Guide is quite simply the best manual full of resources designed to get you meeting new women immediately. The manual is absolutely jam packed with profile examples, headline examples – Over 50 proven and unique templates, profile theme examples, opening profile paragraphs and Calls To Action to add into the end of your profile to get women magically contacting you. Add in essential chapters on 'what women want', self confidence and how to be action orientated and you have a resource that is worth your investment in its own right.
This concept is not being taught anywhere else! If you want to attract and date your ideal women then you need to develop your product. You need to work out what it is about you that will appeal to the opposite sex.
Most men struggle with this and told me that this was their biggest let down.

Okemo to install heated six-pack bubble chairStaff Report | July 21,2014PROVIDED IMAGEs
Okemo Mountain Resort is installing a new, high-speed, six-pack bubble chairlift with heated seats.LUDLOW — Skiers and snowboarders visiting Okemo Mountain Resort this winter will be viewing the snowy landscape through the bright orange tint of a retractable, transparent dome when they ride in the comfort of a new, high-speed, six-pack bubble chairlift with heated seats — the first of its kind in North America.
The new detachable lift, with chairs that seat six people, will be outfitted with heated seating pads and retractable acrylic domes to protect passengers from wind and weather. The new lift, built by Leitner-Poma, will replace Okemo's Northstar Express lift and is scheduled to begin operation in December.
"There is excitement in the air on the mountain and a buzz around town and among our loyal Okemo skiers, as our Mountain Operation crew dives into the installation of this state-of-the-art lift," said Diane Mueller, executive vice president and co-owner of Okemo Mountain Resort. "Over the years Okemo has had many 'firsts,' beginning with construction of Vermont's largest snowmaking pond. This lift adds another 'first' to the list."
The length of the new lift will be 6,430 feet with a vertical rise of 1,670 feet. The new six-pack bubble chair will carry 113 chairs at a speed of 1,000 feet per minute and deliver skiers and riders to the summit of Okemo Mountain in 6.4 minutes. The cost of the lift, including installation, is $6.9 million.
Plans include the construction of a heated barn at the base of the new lift. Six-pack chairs will be removed from the cable at the end of each day and stored in the barn overnight; preventing a need for snow removal after an overnight snowstorm. In the event of unfavorable nighttime weather, it will also allow the lift cable to be de-iced more efficiently, minimizing lift-opening delays and potential inconvenience to skiing and riding guests.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department says eight children from the Charlotte Central...

reviews & comments (6)
My fiance and I were in awe :) - declared this a party for your mouth. This is healthy, super flavorful, delicious and pretty cheap and fast. Not your ho-hum standard stir-fry, this is something special. We made it as is - just used black instead of white pepper, and sherry for the rice wine. Give it a try!
I always make a new recipe exactly as is. I found the quantities alarming (3 cups sliced Napa cabbage?!) but it turned out delicious. Even the teenager who doesn't like anything cooked in a wok volunteered that it was tasty. I will increase the two peppers next time for even more zip. ChefB: 5 Yums!
I found it a bit disappointing. I followed the recipe exactly as written, other than the addition of a diced carrot. I felt that it was bland, and not enough sauce for the recipe. I will try again to see if I missed something, and will double the sauce.
This was a perfect throw-together recipe. I had to make a number of substitutions, but only to the larger things - regular noodles, different veges. But I followed the recipe exactly for the spices, sauce, and method. Very simple, quick and DELICIOUS. The comment was even made during dinner that we're done ordering out for lo mein... it's just as easy and much more flavorful to make this!!

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 Princeton!
Facts about Princeton
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Princeton's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This 6 year old bundle of joy was adopted several years ago but was returned to us when his dad could no longer take care of him. Princeton needs a new family and place to call home. He is cuddly and sweet and appears to be house trained. Princeton loves to snuggle and is a totally fabulous dog!
Other Pets at Cocker Spaniel Rescue of East TX
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Princeton, a Houston Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Houston, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Houston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Houston 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 Houston 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 Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Houston paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Power of Your Choice
Your choice of the IHTC Pharmacy Program directly supports your IHTC team and patient services, and activities provided to the hemophilia community. The IHTC Pharmacy Program provides savings to you and your health insurance plan.
Every patient has the right to choose their clotting factor pharmacy provider. The IHTC supports your right of choice and will assist you in making an informed decision.
Treatment of Blood Clots
Once a patient is diagnosed with a blood clot, blood thinners (also called anticoagulants) are used to decrease the ability of the blood to clot. The commonly used blood thinners include:
- Unfractionated heparin (UFH)
- Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)
- Warfarin (Coumadin®)
- Fondaparinux
Unfractionated Heparin (UFH)
UFH's major blood thinning effect is through inactivation of thrombin and activated factor X (FXa). This process also needs the presence of a natural anticoagulant called antithrombin (AT). By inactivating thrombin, UFH not only prevents fibrin formation but also blocks thrombin from activating platelets and factors V and VIII.1
UFH is usually the treatment of choice immediately after a blood clot has been diagnosed, but can also be used to prevent a blood clot. It can be given intravenously as a continuous infusion or under the skin (subcutaneously). The APTT test is used to measure the effectiveness of UFH. To achieve an adequate blood thinning effect, the APTT value is kept between 60 and 80 seconds. Frequent monitoring is required to maintain the blood thinning effectiveness of UFH. Specific treatment charts are available to guide UFH dose adjustments. After the initial treatment, the blood thinner may be changed to a low molecular weight heparin or warfarin (Coumadin®) for continued therapy.
Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)
The LMWH category of blood thinners includes medicines such as enoxaparin (Lovenox®) and tinzaparin (Innohep®). LMWH is used for both the treatment and prevention of clots. It is made from UFH. LMWH is administered via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection once or twice per day. Laboratory monitoring of blood levels is not always required. In special patient populations, including children or pregnant women. LMWH is monitored by measurement of an anti-FXa assay. Specific treatment recommendations are available. LMWH is used commonly during pregnancy for the prevention of clotting complications. Since the effective blood thinning action of LMWH occurs within 2 to 3 doses, it is also used as a "bridging" therapy when a patient is started on an oral (taken by mouth) blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin®), as these oral agents require several days (~5-7 days) to reach an adequate blood thinning level.
Warfarin (Coumadin®)
Warfarin (Coumadin®) is most commonly taken by mouth in tablet form. Warfarin affects clotting by interfering with the vitamin K pathway. The vitamin K pathway is involved in producing several clotting factors, including factors II, VII, IX, and X. All of these clotting factors are needed for normal clot formation. Interference of the vitamin K pathway leads to a reduction in the function of the clotting factors, which in turn reduces the ability to generate thrombin. This results in a blood thinning effect. Each person may require a different dose of Coumadin. In addition, Coumadin has interactions with medications and is also affected by the daily vitamin K content in a person's diet (green leafy vegetables contain vitamin K). So frequent monitoring is needed to make sure that the Coumadin dose is safe and effective. View IHTC's section on food interactions with Coumadin® for a review of the diet considerations for Coumadin therapy.
Coumadin is by far the most commonly used blood thinner as it is administered orally (by mouth). Coumadin commonly requires 3 to 7 days to produce an adequate blood thinning effect. Therefore, patients started on Coumadin therapy need some form of heparin for additional coverage to assure adequate anticoagulation. This therapy is called "bridging anticoagulation." Anticoagulation with Coumadin is monitored with INR testing. The frequency of INR monitoring varies per person and depends on how stable the INR values are and other conditions that vary per person. Monitoring may be needed weekly to monthly.
After a DVT, a person will often be treated with a blood thinner such as Coumadin for approximately 6 months. The total length of treatment for a clotting episode depends on other conditions, such as a "triggering" event, the severity of the clot, patient age, and identified underlying risk factors such as an abnormality in a coagulation factor. The length of blood thinning therapy is based on clinically proven evidence as well as individual factors. Coumadin should not be used during pregnancy.
Treatment of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS)
Patients who persistently test positive for either a lupus anticoagulant or anticardioplipin antibodies (ACA) and have a clotting history appear to be at increased risk for recurrent clotting events (~50% over a 5-year period). Treatment is reserved for patients who have clinical evidence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). If a person initially experiences a clotting event in a vein (venous clot), any recurrences after that event tend to also occur in a vein. The intensity of oral blood thinning therapy needed to prevent recurrence of a venous clot (for example, keeping the INR between 2 and 3) remains controversial. In general, patients with APS should be treated more aggressively with oral blood thinners (high intensity) with an INR goal of 2.5 to 3.5.2 Treatment is not required for patients with temporary anticardiolipin antibodies or a lupus anticoagulant.
The following table lists many of the anticoagulants that are currently available.

Treatment of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)
Medicines called direct thrombin inhibitors are specifically licensed for treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Examples of these types of blood thinners include lepirudin (Refludan®), and Argatroban®. In addition, the only low molecular weight heparin that can be used in people with HIT is danaparoid (Orgaran®). Other LMWHs are not suitable blood thinners in people who have confirmed HIT.
Long-Term Management of Blood Clots and Clotting Disorders
Management of an inherited blood clotting disorder involves the treatment of acute clotting events, prevention of clots in people who do not have symptoms (called primary prophylaxis), and prevention of a recurrence of a clot (called secondary prophylaxis). In general, clotting episodes do not occur in a continuous fashion except in persons who have a specific gene alteration for proteins C or S. Lifelong prevention therapy, therefore, should not be considered for people who do not have symptoms and who are not exposed to risk factors. Such prevention therapy is considered impractical for many reasons, including:
- Cost of lifelong blood thinning therapy and associated monitoring
- Adherence to therapy (ability of person to take medicines as prescribed)
- Lack of documented target blood thinning levels in this setting, and
- Long-term risk of bleeding associated with blood thinning therapy
Currently, there is no accurate way to identify affected individuals who have no symptoms but who will develop a clot. However, these individuals should take preventive measures when they are in situations that place them at increased risk for clots.
Co-existing risk factors for development of clots include the following:
- Oral contraceptives, pregnancy, time period after labor and delivery
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Cancer
- Surgery/injury
- Dehydration
- Infection
- Immobility
- Fractures
- Congestive heart failure
- Increasing age
- Chronic inflammatory states
- Air travel

Skywatchers: See Two Asteroids with Binoculars!

The number of known asteroids has skyrocketed in recent years, but
very few of these tiny bodies ever come within easy reach of the
simplest optical aid. This year we have a somewhat unusual situation,
for skywatchers can track down two of them, Ceres and Melpomene, as

> Update: Royal Caribbean's New Best Price Guarantee: Your Questions Answered
Date Published: May 19, 2010
Cruise News
Update: Royal Caribbean's New Best Price Guarantee: Your Questions Answered
Update, 6:07 p.m. EDT: A company spokeswoman tells us that now anyone is eligible for the Best Price Guarantee, not just those who book inside the penalty period. We have adjusted the Q&A below, originally printed on May 18, to reflect this addition to the policy.
(May 18) -- Is May murky policy change month? Just a week after
Carnival Cruise Lines
cleared up the confusion surrounding its new
policy on banned items
, Royal Caribbean has made a series of not-very-clear changes to its Best Price Guarantee policy -- sending Cruise Critic members into a state of bewilderment.
On May 17, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. notified travel agents of the company's new Best Price Guarantee and updated the Web sites of its three brands --
Azamara Club Cruises
Celebrity Cruises
Royal Caribbean International
-- to reflect the changes. By 10 a.m. on May 18, Cruise Critic members had generated a 17-page thread expressing confusion and frustration over the changes.
So we decided to go to the source for more clarity. We asked Carol Cabezas, Celebrity's director of sales strategy and automation, to explain the new policy -- and raised your, and our, questions. Here's what you need to know:
Q: What is RCCL's new Best Price Guarantee?
If you book a cruise and you see a cheaper price on your cruise within 48 hours after you've put down a deposit, Royal Caribbean will offer 110 percent of the difference in onboard credit. Eligible price drops include publicly available pricing and not special discounts, such as agency or employee rates. So if you book a cruise for $499, and then see it advertised for $449, you'll get $55 in onboard credit.
Q: Who can take advantage of the new Best Price Guarantee?
The new Best Price Guarantee is aimed at travelers who book their cruises either in advance (outside the penalty period) or at the last minute (within the penalty period). What is the penalty period? This is the period of time between when final payment is due (typically 60 to 90 days before sailing, depending on the cruise) and sail date. So if you are booking a month before you cruise, this is within the penalty period, which means you pay the entire amount up front. If you book six months in advance, this is outside the penalty period, which means you pay a deposit followed by the remainder later.
Due to the various consumer protection laws in other countries, for the time being, the Best Price Guarantee is only available to U.S. and Canadian residents.
Q: How strict is the 48-hour time window?
Cabezas tells us that the cruise lines will not be sticklers to the 48-hour time window as a good faith effort. For example, if you make your payment Monday at 9 a.m. and file your claim by Wednesday at 11 a.m., it will likely be honored -- Thursday, however, would be too late. She also adds that though the cruise line will try to process the claims as quickly as possible, customers will be protected as long as the fare was valid when they made their claim -- even if by the time their claim is read, the fare is gone or the 48-hour period has expired.
Q: What if I book within the penalty period and the price drops after 48 hours?
If you book within the penalty period and the price drops after 48 hours, you will not receive the difference in onboard credit. However, if the price you paid is now equal to the rate for a higher-category cabin, you can request an upgrade and the line will try to accommodate you if a cabin is available.
Q: What if I book
to the penalty period and the price drops after 48 hours?
You actually have several options. If you book before final payment and the price drops on your itinerary, cabin category and sail date, you can request a fare adjustment or an upgrade if applicable, and the line will accommodate you. If you see a price drop on a different cabin category or sailing and you'd like to take advantage of that offer, you can cancel without penalty and rebook at the lower fare.
Once final payment is made, you are locked into the rate you paid and have no more opportunities to receive a price differential in onboard credit. However, as mentioned above, if the price drops such that a higher-category cabin now costs the same as what you paid, you can request an upgrade, if a cabin is available.
Q: What if I book far in advance, take advantage of the Best Price Guarantee to get 110% onboard credit, and the price drops
before my final payment is due? Can I still get a price reduction?
Yes! There's no limit to the number of times the cruise line will adjust your cruise fare prior to final payment. Plus, you'll get to keep your 110 percent credit, even if your fare is lowered later.
Q: How does this differ from the old policy?
The old price protection policy states that if the price of your cruise drops up to 72 hours prior to departure, you can receive the difference in onboard credit. Those who had not paid in full at the time of the price drop could also opt for a cash refund or reduction to their outstanding balance.
The new policy is different in a few ways. The actual Best Price Guarantee only applies to a fare drop 48 hours after booking, shortening the amount of time you have to find a lower rate. Eligible price drops net you more credit -- 110 percent of the difference rather than 100 percent in the original policy -- but there is no option for a cash refund or fare reduction at 110 percent of the price difference. The greatest impact will be felt by people who book inside the penalty period, who now have far less time in which to take advantage of price drops. People who book outside the penalty period still have adjustment options prior to final payment, as outlined above.
Cruise travelers who booked their RCCL cruise prior to May 17 are grandfathered into the previous policy. You can find more details in our archived news item,
Best Price Guarantees: Good or Bad for Cruisers?
Q: Why was the price protection policy changed?
"When we looked at our existing policy, we saw that we were very much out of line with our cruise competition," Cabezas said. "The new policy brings us more in line with the rest of the lines." She also noted that RCCL had heard from its travel agent partners that they were frustrated at losing commission every time a cruise fare dropped, so this new policy further benefits them by preserving their compensation.
Cabezas says the cruise line will be re-evaluating the text on its consumer and agent Web sites to see if the language can be improved and clarified.

African airline expands reach across continent
AfricaWest Cargo Airlines' new aircraft will play a part in its expansion plans for the rest of 2013 and 2014.
A Boeing 737-300F that joined the airline's fleet started providing operations in early May in Douala, Cameroon; Brazzaville, Congo and Pointe-Noir, Congo.
AfricaWest also announced its recent acquisition of two ATR72F aircraft to accommodate growing demand in its Central and West African destinations.
"The order has been placed, and the delivery of the first ATR72F is expected by the end of June 2013," Yannick Erbs, CEO of AfricaWest, said.
He said the aircraft will make regular trips to destinations such as Cotonou, Benin; Port-Gentil, Gabon; Malabo, Equatorial Guinea; Niamey, Niger; Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso; Bamako, Mali and Monrovia, Liberia.
The delivery of a second ATR72F is expected in October, he said.
Erbs said AfricaWest will soon disclose more plans for the future.
"We are definitely reinforcing our services and expanding our destinations," he said. "Our objective is to achieve 21 principal destinations by the end of 2014 and to ensure steady and uninterrupted services."
AfricaWest, which is based in Lomé, Togo, was founded in 1997.
