actually, vitamin C / citric acid is useful for getting rid of some of the chlorine in tap water. it bonds to the chlorine and forms a precipitate. at least that was the reason a relative gave me for mixing citric acid into jugs of emergency reserve water (for earthquake situations).

i suppose it makes sense if you are in the habit of drinking your shower water
Actually Vitamin C is great for your skin and much needed in order to keep your skin youthful and glowing. No need to drink the shower water :)
you can put vitE in it and have babyskin if i'm not wrong

Updated: June 3, 2012, 7:55 PM ET
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. -- James Hahn earned his first Nationwide Tour victory Sunday by beating Scott Parel on the second hole of a playoff at the Rex Hospital Open.
Hahn shot a 4-under 67 and joined Parel at 13-under 271. Both players had pars on the par-4 No. 18, and Hahn birdied the par-5 No. 9 while Parel had a par on the second playoff hole.
Hahn earned $99,000 for the victory. He started the day four strokes behind third-round leader B.J. Staten, but made his move early with three ...

($32-$39) Dark red. Subdued, lightly herbal aromas of currant, blueberry, tobacco leaf, chocolate, menthol and shoe polish. Perfumed and penetrating, with a restrained sweetness and a slight herbal edge. Finishes youthfully dry, juicy and persistent. This very elegantly styled wine grew suppler with aeration, showing a flavor of bitter cherry and finish. Very Pauillac.

Mama might have said knock you out, but she probably didn't also warn you that ProbCause was coming for your jaw. For the Chicago emcee's brand new video single, Flex, ProbCause steps inside the ring with a hard-rocking and heavy hitting beat from producer Wes P serving as his entrance music. It's all the excuse the headliner needs to come out swinging, delivery deadly and quick rhyme combinations that remind me of Sugar Ray Leonard - you know, if Sugar Ray could rap really well. Flex can be found on ProdCause's forthcoming Recipe EP, out Labor Day weekend, and if you can't wait that long, The DJBooth is hooking you up with a free stream and download of his previous project, Stir Fry. You're welcome.

Not too shabby, Shia LaBeouf!
The 26-year-old actor unveiled his new buzz cut while strolling through Los Angeles International Airport Dec. 10. Wearing tattered jeans, a denim button-up, a letterman jacket and Nike sneakers, the Lawless actor looked remarkably more clean cut than he did just months earlier when he sported a full beard and long, curly hair. He stepped out again the following day -- sans hood -- while visiting his local gym.
PHOTOS: Male makeovers!
LaBeouf has been undergoing other dramatic changes as well.
VIDEO: How to groom your guy's beard
In late November, Us Weekly broke the news that LaBeouf had broken up with Karolyn Pho, his stylist girlfriend of two years. Soon after their split, the Nymphomaniac actor was spotted cozying up to a mystery blonde at L.A.'s Magic Castle.
PHOTOS: Male celebs with bad hair
In the spring of 2013, LaBeouf will make his Broadway debut in director Daniel Sullivan's Orphans. The young actor will play Treat, a petty thief, while 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin will play a mobster named Harold. Previews begin March 19 at the Schoenfeld Theater in New York City; the show will officially open April 7.

Magistrate slashes Gormans' charge list
Tuesday 20 June 1995
Sixty-six charges against the Tory MP for Billericay, Theresa Gorman, and her husband, Jim, were cut to just one each by a magistrate at Grays, Essex.
The magistrate ordered the list of planning contravention summonses to be slashed after hearing the couple might have to pay pounds 1.32m if they were convicted and fined the maximum of pounds 20,000 for each alleged offence. Each charge also carried a penalty of six months jail.
Labour-led Thurrock council has accused them of making changes to their Grade 2 listed home, Old Hall Farm at Orsett, Essex, without planning permission, and of ignoring warnings to stop.

The Works of Finland's Riikka Sormunen
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, November 20, 2012
We just came across Finnish artist Riikka Sormunen's work this morning, and just in time, as the artist just released a new book, Big Mother, through Nobrow Press. A mixture of classic illustration, fashion, with a hint of symbolist style, Sormunen gives us a new favorite from the Northern Europe region. We need to get this book.

Digital and Painting Works by Januz Miralles
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, November 20, 2012
A nice thing to wake up to in the morning, some good looks from digital and fine artist, Phillippines-based Januz Miralles. Through photo manipulation and photography, Miralles creates a handmade texture to an otherwise digital surface, allowing both to coexist. This a selection of works from 2012.
F1 Suspended by Paul Veroude

Dutch artist Paul Veroude has made it very easy for you to find out what's inside one of these speedy vehicles. Using a Mercedes GP Petronas F1, driven by renowned race car driver Michael Schumacher, the artist deconstructed the 2010 model and suspended each piece, right down to the nuts and bolts.

The Face of David, in Pencil
Juxtapoz // Tuesday, November 20, 2012
A great use of graphite from artist Linda Huber. From the artist: I started work on this 2 foot drawing 1-3-11 and finished on 1-26-11. The reference was small but very clear so I was able to work from it. I used a 2 inch grid, have to say working on such a large drawing can be difficult so that grid was a huge help. Since the David statue is made out of solid marble I needed to visualize the smoothness, the slight imperfections, the veins...

In L.A.: Jim Drain @ Prism Gallery
Juxtapoz // Monday, November 19, 2012
Last week, we attended the opening of Jim Drain's Drain Expressions exhibition at Prism Gallery in Los Angeles.

Book Review: "Forever The New Tattoo"
Juxtapoz // Monday, November 19, 2012
In deliberating if tattoos and tattooists can present themselves as art and artists, Forever: The New Tattoo brings new language and thought to the often stigmatized reputation of tattoo culture. Matt Lodder explains in the foreword, "Tattoos cannot obviously be bought, sold, and traded like paintings because they are painful, bloody, and laborious to acquire." Lodder, a tattoo owner and historian, takes contemporary developments in tattooing and places them into historical contexts.
Opening: Dr Lakra @ Nils Stærk, Copenhagen
Juxtapoz // Monday, November 19, 2012
Featured in our very first Juxtapoz in 1994, and cover artist of August 2010, Mexico-based artist Dr. Lakra has a show currently on display in Copenhagen, Denmark at Nils Stærk. Featuring his signature tattoo influenced fine art, with a mixture of collage, flash, and paintings, Lakra's work will be on display through December 15, 2012.

Netflix Demonstrate UHD 4k Streaming - Ultra High Definition, Next Generation Image Quality
It's most likely that your local or regular cinema screens films digitally now. In many cases, this is still being done at 2k, images that are 2048 pixels wide.
Though some chains, here in the UK at least, boast proudly that their projectors all pump out 4k, which is 4096 pixels wide. That's very true, but it's also the case that these 4k projectors are often being used to show 2k files.
It takes a pretty big screen for the step up from 2k to 4k to really make an impact. I won't get into all of the maths here but audience members in a fairly typical cinema wouldn't be able to discernany difference at all if they were to sit in the back two thirds of the auditorium.
Great for people near the front, though, right?
Let's assume you sit about seven feet away from your TV set at home. For 4k to make a measurable difference to your perception of the image, your TV would have to be around 140 inches, diagonally. That's about three metres wide.
So, I don't think 4k is by any means the urgent next step in video technology. On the other hand, I do know that it is most definitely coming, and fast.
Sony have this week said that they want to establish a standard format for 4k. The twist is that this time, unlike with Blu-ray and DVD, they don't mean a physical format, they mean a file format. In fact, Sony's CEO has this week said at the Consumer Electronics Show that a disc format might even be unlikely.
Streaming video is likely to be at the forefront of the 4k push, rather than packaged media or broadcast. No surprise, then, that Neflix are already working hard, getting ready to ride the 4k explosion.
Pocket Lint saw a 4k Netflix demonstration at CES. It was a pretty modest demo, tucked away quietly, but it was definitely 4k content, and it was being streamed, someway or another.
Samsung are partnering with Netflix on the development of this tech, which will likely mean Netflix 4k apps on the dashboard of Samsung 4k sets.
It's early days yet, but these things do have a way of accelerating. How long until I stop cluttering my house up with piles of Blu-rays and start hanging off the wires for 4k streams, I wonder?
I'll miss packaged media, but I've already welcomed Netflix with open arms. And a nice big 4k TV? Don't mind if I do. But I do mean big. I'm not going 4k unless it's going to really mean something.
If you're going to join me in this grand indulgence, you'll need a pretty robust connection to the web to get your content. This is from Pocket Lint's piece:The new codec of H.265 is claimed to allow for further file size compression of 40-50 per cent more than H.264 video, with no loss in picture quality. It can ensure UHD images are streamed efficiently using existing bandwidth, but streaming 5.1 or 7.1 audio will still take up as much bandwidth as before. So file sizes will naturally be larger, with all things considered.My current connection allows me to stream 1080p Netflix in two rooms simultaneously, even while I'm surfing the web, so I think I'm most likely set already.
Right, let's try and put a number on it, just for fun. I predict that I'll have a 4k set at home and will be watching 4k streaming video on it in... ermmm... let's say 2017.
I'll keep you posted.

Is this anything to do with The UHD TV format? I know the BBC began developing this for future broadcast possibilities... Before they launched BBC HD.
"Be nostalgic for now."
Co-creator of the Ogle Award-winning SF-Fantasy audio series, The Springheel Saga.
40-50% lossless compression is interesting from a technical perspective as it will depend what encoding they start from.
However, I think the screen size issue may go away - hoping to popularise a service that's only noticeably beneficial on screens that are still only theoretically possible is a bit silly (as far as I know the biggest TV released so far is LG's 84 offering from last year, although I suppose with the right media centre, an eyefinity type multidisplay setup and two bezel-free displays you could do it...)
IMO what's more likely to happen is that pixel counts on normal displays will go up so we'll start to see 26-50" 4K-capable TVs on the market soon. This is already happening with smartphones and Apple's new RetinaDisplay kit.When in doubt, "Try not to be a dick" is usually a good place to start.

Streaming only, eh? I hope everyone has an unlimited data plan with their Internet provider. With just a high def file, I can only watch a couple of hours of material on my cell phone's 2GB plan. If we're dealing with files twice as big, that turns into an hour of UHD for 2GB.
That's the dirty little secret you rarely see mentioned with the future of entertainment. You're going to pay a fee to the studio; a fee to the distributor and then pay through the nose to your Internet provider. Your high monthly cable bill and $30 for a bluray will be "the good ole days".

The few services that aren't unlimited just apply bandwidth throttling rather than excess charges, and tend to be of the "broadband for a fiver a month" variety, so I agree that in the UK this won't be an issue.
It will be interesting to see how it goes in the US - I wouldn't bet on US ISPs suddenly coming to their senses when US mobile telephony providers still charge customers for receiving text messages...When in doubt, "Try not to be a dick" is usually a good place to start.

A) most phones that can stream media content are also wi-fi enabled, & any wi-fi enabled device doesn't pull from your data plan. So I'm not sure why that's even an issue for you.
B) Why on earth would you want to sit around watching such content from your phone anyway??? Although I have the Netflix app on my phone, I rarely use it,unless I'm on the train for a while, & I'm bored.
Thats what the big TV & surround sound set up, and/or media center PC set up I own is for.

So, the same laughingly limited selection of movies and shows - just in higher quality!
Yeah, this is the major issue for me. Until Netflix increases their content, there's really no news here. My TV increases the PQ to 1080P anyways.
however, the major issue with Netflix for me, besides limited selection, is surround sound formats. The best they can do is 5.1, & even that's not all the time. And even when it is, my AVR simply converts the signal to PCM. There's no Dolby, no DTS, etc. That's why Blu-Rays won't be going out of style any time soon.

Disney Magic adds interactive Marvel's Avengers Academy at Sea
The Disney Cruise Line now has four ships sailing the seven seas. The oldest ship, Disney Magic, is now the newest, in a way. Disney has renovated the ship with brand new technology, including video game experiences only available on Magic. The centerpiece of the new ship -- at least for comic book fans -- is the first collaboration between Marvel and Walt Disney Imagineers. Marvel's Avengers Academy is located in Disney's Oceaneers Club, which is open to 3 to 12-year-old children. Marvel and Walt Disney Imagineers have created a new space for children to enter into the Marvel Universe.
Marvel's The Avengers make their presence known in an epic way aboard the Disney Magic thanks to new video game technology. Young crime-fighters are transported to a high-tech command post used by The Avengers for special missions and operations training. Throughout the base, displays featuring some of the equipment that helps to make The Avengers the earth's mightiest heroes -- Iron Man's suit of armor, Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer -- inspire super hero "recruits" through their academy missions. Avengers Academy is a multi-day, immersive entertainment experience where children interact with Marvel characters and unleash their inner super heroes. One of the coolest elements of the new headquarters is the Become Iron Man Experience, which features Xbox 360 Kinect technology.
"The Become Iron Man Experience combines video game technology with the storytelling that we have where the kids actually get an opportunity to become Iron Man," said Erika Solano, manager of youth activities on board the Disney Magic. "They go through certain motions and they literally become Iron Man on the screen. We take pictures of them in the armor and then on quests throughout the cruise they can see their pictures."
Solano said the video game utilizes Kinect technology, but the Imagineers have created a storyline for the kids to experience and live through during the three or four night cruises. Captain America interacts with the kids during the latter part of the cruise experience, taking the action out of the video game screen and into real life.
"On board the Disney Magic it's not only about the technology," said Solano. "It's also about the storytelling and making sure that we transport the kids' imaginations to different places, whether it's the Marvel Universe or Toy Story."
Each kid that comes through the Disney Oceaneer's Club receives a special RFID (radio frequency identification) wristband that extends the Marvel experience throughout the ship. The same technology also keeps track of where the kids are at all times. (If you've been to Walt Disney World in Orlando recently, the same RFID technology has been implemented in the Magic Bands that are given to park guests who stay at resort properties.)
The Avengers Academy also comes equipped with exclusive PC games featuring the different Marvel super heroes, which kids can play with as part of the overall themed experience.
"For the Avengers Academy all the games are specific for Marvel, but within the other kids venues we have computer and video games for all ages," said Solano. "Everything is linked to DisneyOnline.com. The Oceaneer's Lab also has interactive tables where the kids can play multiplayer touch screen games. There are also ship navigation stations for them to pilate everything from a cruise ship to a pirate ship. We try to make sure that the kids make use of the technology while still making those connections with friends and experiencing the Disney storytelling."
For teenagers, Disney Magic has upgraded its arcade as well as its Vibe teen lounge, complete with new Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games. Traditional game consoles, including the Wii U, are also used throughout all of the kids' areas.
"We try to stay on top of the technology and get the newest games so the kids are actually finding something different from what they would find at home," said Solano. "The newer generations come on board expecting video games and technology to be here because these are things that they already have at home. What we do is combine that technology with the experience that Disney offers and make sure that they have a very unique experience aboard the Disney Magic."
Today's connected kids of all ages don't need to take a vacation from playing video games. Solano said that during the Open House at the beginning of each cruise, there's a line of parents wanting to try the Iron Man Experience game.

The current approach to education is failing miserably and our children are suffering. Statistics and experience confirm the obvious. It is time for a change and school choice is that change. It means affirming again, as a matter of public policy and legislation, that Parents are the ones who should be able to make the choice of how to best extend their own teaching mission outside of the home for their children.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic online) - We are five days away from what we claim is one of the most important Presidential elections in US History. We have tried to help fellow Catholic citizens understand their vital role in shaping the future of this Nation we love through exercising their faithful citizenship.
We have exposed the errant positions of some Catholics in public life and said, without hesitation, that one simply cannot be a faithful Catholic and hold what is euphemistically called a "pro-choice" position on abortion - or fail to defend true marriage and the family and society founded upon it.
We have discussed the difference between non-negotiable matters which concern intrinsic evils - and those areas which allow for the exercise of prudential jugment. Given their numbers, U.S. Catholics can determine the outcome of this election.
That requires us to act in a manner which is, to use words of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "morally coherent". That phrase was used in an instruction released in 2002 entitled a "Doctrinal Note on some questions regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life".
On this fifth day before the election we address another public policy position where the two candidates have profoundly divergent views - the path to educational reform. The current overly federalized approach to the provision of education in the United States is failing miserably and our children are suffering.
Statistics and experience confirm the obvious. It is time for a change and school choice is that change. It means affirming again, as a matter of public policy and legislation, that Parents are the ones who should be able to make the choice of how to best extend their own teaching mission outside of the home for their children.
On May 23, 3012, Mitt Romney outlined his educational policy in a speech he gave in Washington, DC to the Latino Coalition. The speech was based upon a larger policy statement contained in a white paper which explains the reforms entitled "A Chance for Every Child" which can be read in its entirety here.
Romney told the leaders "I'll be blunt, I don't like the direction of American education and, as president, I will do everything in my power to get education on track for the kids in this great land." He said bluntly that many students in the United States receive a "third world education" and that "minority children suffer the most."
"Too many of our kids are trapped in schools that are failing or simply don't meet their needs. And for too long, we've merely talked about the virtues of school choice. As President, I will give the parents of every low-income and special needs student the chance to choose where their child goes to school."
"For the first time in history, federal education funds will be linked to a student, so that parents can send their child to any public or charter school, or to a private school, where permitted. And I will make that choice meaningful by ensuring there are sufficient options to exercise it."
President Obama has not endorsed school choice. Though he reversed his earlier position opposing the Opportunity Scholarship program in Washington, DC, he has proposed an increased role for the Federal government as the path to educational reform. We disagree.
Those who oppose school choice, such as the President and some leaders of the teachers union, call it an effort to "privatize" education. In fact, it is an effort to "Parentize" education. It affirms that that the family is the first school and first government. It insists that parents should make the choices concerning the education of their children outside of the first school of the home.
Those who support school choice call for enabling legislation which makes it possible for all parents, no matter what their socio-economic situation, to choose where to send their children to school. This choice would be available from among a full array of options including public, private, parochial, virtual, charter and home schools.
This can be accomplished in a constitutionally sound way by empowering parents to make this vital choice through properly drafted legislation, tax credits, or opportunity scholarships. Governor Romneys position on education follows the child and is made by the parents and not the Federal Government.
Those who oppose school choice, including President Obama, resort to scare tactics in their opposition. They argue that it will detrimentally affect the public school system and that supporters of school choice are against public schools. That are wrong on both claims.
They propose that the overly federalized bloated bureaucracy called the Public School system should continue down the path which has led to failure. They make it sound as though the current approach to public education has always existed in American history. In reality, nothing could be further from our true history.
Public schools were first local, community schools. School choice will return the leadership of our educational approach to parents and the local community, empowered and assisted by the Federal government. It would improve the public school system as well as ensure that parents can choose the schools they want for their children. Competition in the delivery of goods and services has amazing results.
School Choice is not a threat to the Federal Government. Rather, it recognizes that all government begins in the home and applies the social ordering principle of subsidiarity. The term is derived from the Latin word "subsidium" which means help or assistance.
Subsidiarity is a social ordering principle which says that governing should begin at the smallest level first. The first government is the family. All other government should provide assistance or help to that first government - and not usurp its primary role. It favors a bottom up approach to governing and affirms the family as the first government and first school.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms the right of parents to choose a school for their children, "As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions."
"This right is fundamental. As far as possible parents have the duty of choosing schools that will best help them in their task as Christian educators. Public authorities have the duty of guaranteeing this parental right and of ensuring the concrete conditions for its exercise." (CCC#2229)
The Federal Government should recognize that the family is the first government. All other government must first be at its service. In "The Role of the Christian family in the Modern World" Blessed John Paul II called for the development of a "family politics". School choice is an example of such a "family politics".
Support for school choice affirms the right of all parents to choose where their children go to school. That choice should include the full array of options, public, private, parochial, charter and home schools, no matter what the economic status of the family. It is better for the children, better for society and more economically efficient. It is also clearly embraced in catholic teaching.
In an Apostolic Exhortation on the "Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World "Blessed John Paul II wrote, "The right and duty of parents to give education is essential, since it is connected with the transmission of human life; it is original and primary with regard to the educational role of others, on account of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children; it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated to others or usurped by others."
In his "Letter to Families", he wrote: "Parents are the first and most important educators of their own children, and they also possess a fundamental competence in this area; they are educators because they are parents. They share their educational mission with other individuals or institutions, such as the Church and the State."
"But the mission of education must always be carried out in accordance with a proper application of the Principle of Subsidiarity. This implies the legitimacy and indeed the need of giving assistance to the parents, but finds its intrinsic and absolute limit in their prevailing right and actual capabilities. The principle of subsidiarity is thus at the service of parental love, meeting the good of the family unit."
"For parents by themselves are not capable of satisfying every requirement of the whole process of raising children; especially in matters concerning their schooling and the entire gamut of socialization. Subsidiarity thus complements paternal and maternal love and confirms its fundamental nature, inasmuch as all other participants in the process of education are only able to carry out their responsibilities in the name of the parents, with their consent and, to a certain degree, with their authorization."
School Choice is a matter of true social justice - not sometimes masquerades as social justice. The opposition by some in the leadership of the teachers unions shows how far some of these mediating associations have strayed from their proper social role. School choice is right for our children, right for our parents and right for our Nation.
Will school choice in the United States improve the current state of our Catholic School system in the United States? Yes, it will. It will open up our schools as one of the many options for parents to choose from for their own children. We should welcome that both as Catholics and as good citizens.
We are five days away from one of the most important Presidential elections in decades. It is time for a new politics, a family politics.True Educational Reform passes through School Choice.

Hands get a double shot of pampering with a scrub and hand massage, in addition to the standard cuticle trimming and polish change. The pedi includes a foot massage, scrub, soothing footbath, and refreshing wash. Long-time Norman residents and owners Kathy and Noel Morris have extensive experience in the spa industry and have been offering soothing spa services to the area for more than 15 years.
Take Five's talented stylists have been serving up beautiful platters of hairstyle since 1993 from their salon near the University of Oklahoma. Their scissors have dipped into the head-threads of folks from every imaginable walk of life, be they style-fixated fashionistas or befuddled Flubber-inventing professors. Once they've gotten your noodle-nest moist and tender with the help of top-of-the-line Aveda-brand products, Take Five will carve the locks of lords, ladies, and ladies' men into a new look that swivels necks and fatally distracts bomb defusers.
One tiny brushstroke at a time, the Shellac polish is applied to each nail. Immediately, it does double duty, keeping nails nice and shiny and protecting keratin sheets from chips and scratches caused by building too many sand castles in the zen garden. The beauty pros at traspa also make their clients' bodies shine with the removal of unwanted hair or take out the extra sheen on mugs during oil-blasting facials.
Heather Alverson knows that the most minute details count. Whether she is scaling back a cuticle or applying a long-lasting polish, she attends to her clients with the precision of a time-traveling weatherman. Clients leave the salon confident that their fingernails and toenails are in top-notch shape.
The experienced stylists at Hair Rage deftly trim shining tresses and technicians pamper fingers and toes with expert nail services. During an initial hair consultation, clients meet with stylists to discuss which cuts will attractively frame their features or enhance the realism of a rubber Richard Nixon mask. Experienced fingers then massage scalps with nourishing shampoo at rows of sleek black sinks before stylists snip, style, and blow-dry tresses at a mirrored styling station. Alternatively, during a spa mani-pedi, techs will clip, shape, and polish finger and toenails after a warm, soothing footbath bubbles away stress and henna tattoos of old grocery lists.
Whether your goal is to disguise aging, neutralize acne outposts, or emulate the soft skin of the faces on Euros, Aqua's staff will help you decide on the right facial for your skin and customize it to match. The European facial deep cleanses your flesh-emoticon before exfoliators decimate hidden pore pockets of unwanted things such as discontinued skin cells, skin-hugging smog, and outgrown tricycles. The more intensive anti-aging facial smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles without turning the clock too far back and leaving you with a baby's head. The acne facial, meanwhile, helps transform your frontispiece from pizza back into skin, removing minor scars along the way. All three treatments will leave you with skin that shimmers like the surface of a lake at twilight, only without skinny-dipping lovebirds constantly frolicking in it.

A new trailer for The Sims 4 released today offers a look at the game's new Build Mode, which appears to make building a house easier than ever.
As demonstrated in the video above, players can still build rooms by drawing walls like in past games. Alternatively, they can place entire rooms and then move and drag their sides to make them the proper size and fit. Those looking for an even quicker method for building can select to place rooms that are fully furnished; the items inside will be rearranged on the fly depending upon how its size is altered.
Other features shown in the trailer include three different height settings for walls, an option to add windows to a room with a single click (plus the ability to adjust the height of windows on the wall), and a way to add a foundation (and change its height) even after a house is already built. One especially nice feature is the ability to move an entire house after it's been built, so there's no need to worry about its initial placement restricting your ability to expand later on.
The Sims 4, unlike the most recent SimCity when it launched, will not require an Internet connection to play when it's released this fall on PC. It will also be playable by more people than its predecessor, as Maxis claims the game will run better on low-end machines than The Sims 3, which was notoriously system-intensive.

Lets Cut the Crap : Price vs Halak , finally!
pre game thread? whatever, im sick of feeling terrible over the pacioretty incident and the subsequent bull**** no suspension
http://www.montrealgazette.com/sport...#ixzz1G9aV7IkP Its time to look ahead Personally as a Price supporter from Day 1, ive been waiting for this game ALL year, even MORE then saku's return to montreal By miracle, Halak was activated tonight, but the blues play tonight, do they dare start halak tomorrow at home on a back to back? does martin dare start auld vs a weaker opponent? WILL WE EVEN GET a price vs halak at all or will it be back up vs back up!? i hope the coaches realize the significance and let both play vs each other, i KNOW it doesnt really decide "who is the best once and for all!" but it be GREAT for bragging rights, i know secretly, though theyll never admit it, both guys want to beat each other, i wanna see who steps up! I like prices take lol : "and price said it will likely be a bigger deal when Halak returns to Montreal, perhaps next season. ''It's kind of under the radar in Missouri,'' Price said. but i still wanna see round 1! |
Haha, Price vs Halak. I'm not even able to care about that, it's been settled IMO.
I will most definitely be cheering for Price and my Habs, but I still love Halak and everything he did for us. An amazing goalie, an amazing person, and I wish him the best.
I hope for a 1-0 shootout win with Desharnais scoring the winner with Pacioretty's jersey. :P As far as the best goes? Both are pretty amazing. Price is having an incredible year and Halak is having a pretty good year, although St. Louis is a defensive team (at least from the games I've watched). I'd still be comfortable with Halak in net for us, but I'm just as happy with Price. I was a Price fan long before, I just lost a little faith but he's made me re-gain my confidence in him. I would have never of been one of the fans that booed him, just an FYI. |
Blues certainly gave up the season but you never know when you play a Western Conference team.
this is an actual POSSIBLE genuine price VERSUS halak! |
I've been watching a lot of NHL and WWE recently and right now, I can't tell them apart.
I rember as soon as the schedule came out people circled this game as a price vs halak thing and people assumed that price would get booed during this game not any more price has been a lot better then halak this year:laugh::laugh:
It's pretty hard to get excited for this game.
Meh, I hope Price shuts them out just to drive the point home that he's the best. |
Halak is playing tonight. Is he playing tommorow for sure? That may not be good for Montreal if its true. he is 3-1-1 GAA - 1.97 Svpct - .929 when playing on consecutive nights.
4-1 Habs
Pouliot Pouliot Pouliot Cammalleri |
weve got a playoff race to maintain, and by god, we might be FACING the goalie that lead us to round 3 last year, how can you not be excited about that, i hope halak personally requests to play hell i wont even be upset if halak shuts us down!, i just wanna SEE it |
Also, What's wrong about giving some info about the opposite team? :) |
Win this one for Patches.
Here's hoping we can light him up.
I was excited about this game, but after yesterday I don't really care much anymore. It still feels like the third period, some sort of new hockey reality that's just a lot less exciting for now. An injustice has gone unpunished, that's all I can think about. My nephew is inconsolable. Wish this game was next week.
Hope the habs come out guns a blazing tomorrow!
Win this one for the patch! |
light him up.
Plus we let him hang around because he IS the youtube master. :bow: |
hes getting scored on tonight 3 goals on 17 shots
As for Halak, loved him when he was a Hab. As a Blue, I hope he gets whiplash from all the pucks we whiz by him. :)
but lol, its amazing, BOTH goalies might not start tomorrow! :cry: |
I'd be down for starting Auld. We need to give Price some more nights off down the stretch. Would much rather have Carey in net for a game that could have a bigger impact on conference standings on Saturday. Though we do have Tampa and the Rangers on consecutive nights next week, so maybe Carey plays and Auld just gets New York.

Historical Traveler Reviews Baron Resort Sharm El Sheikh Sharm El-Sheikh
I've just returned from an holiday at the baron. Well, I wish I'd chosen another resort !
This hotel was advertised as a 4/5 stars... Well, except the central lobby, nothing else gets a 4 stars rating.
Rooms are smallish, with few equipments, we didn't get a balcony in our first room, but after complaining, they gave us another room with a balcony. We had to complain VERY hard to get this room...
Hotel staff unfriendly, especially at the concierge desk. We were treated very poorly.
I've been to lots of resorts throughout the world, and the baron gets a 3-stars rating, not more !
Restaurants are awful, food is a problem there: lot of people were ill during my stay. I was ill for 2 days !
Also, the restaurants are cold like the Antarctic, they put the Air-Con at -10 degrees, completely crazy. I had to wear a sweat shirt during my lunch there.
Housekeeping very bad, never refilled correctly our room, I always have to ask for some toilet paper, only to get it 24 hours after, really the first time that happened to me !!!
I will definitely stay in another resort the next time.
I think you understand the real "quality" of this hotel now !
Loved the 'Baron' Hotel
We really had no idea what or where we going but literally just played pin the donkey with the brochure. What a lovely surprise, great staff, really fab with the kids. Huge rooms, immaculately clean. In fact, the staff everywhere just seem to clean or tend the fantastic gardens. No problems with food that friends warned us about (for the area in general). So cheap to eat out, free shuttle bus to Naama Bay. Resdtaurant manager really seemed passionate that everything was ok and had as much time as you liked to talk. We can not wait to go back and mock our friends who pay top dollar for Dubai. The beach was great with an excellent towel service on free beds with huge fixed straw umbrellas. Massage on the beach was addictive under a covered, open fronted 'tent'. Kids had a baby playground on the beach but amazingly only a few small kids were ever there (ours!!). The pontoon bridges out over the coral were amazing, I have never snorkelled & did not realise what I was missing until this holiday. So quick for the airport transfer 10 mins.), but not affected by the airport at all. Highly recommended.
Love the people
We have just spent 2 week at the Baron and enjoyed every minute of iour stay. We found the staff extremely friendly and helpful the whole place very clean --rooms comfortable and the food on the whole very good one could not have expected more for breakfast---- the Indian and Egyptian resturants excellent. The weather was good during the day but cold at night which you would expect for the middle of winter. We took a trip to Cairo on the bus which was very good. We are an older couple who have travelled extensively and would say that The Baron will be fondly remembered by us and we would hope to return some day
Great relaxing break
The Baron Hotel is great, very clean and the rooms are very spacious. The staff very friendly and always seem to to either cleaning, gardening and making sure everything is perfect.
The beach is fantastic with great snorkelling, a very quiet beach too, sometimes it was like we had our own private beach!
Lot's of facilities, and the shuttle bus to Naama is regular and free!, Naama has some fantastic places to eat, and very cheap!
I will definately be visiting Sharm again and Baron resort
Great hospitatilty
Myself and my boyfriend went to The Baron last October (2004). What a fantastic hotel, situated in a quiet area but a reasonable distance from the lively Naama Bay. The free shuttle bus is brilliant and runs frequently to and from Naama Bay. The rooms in The Baron are lovely, spacious and most of all clean! All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool is a great size and so near to the sea, this is what i liked the most. All the restaurants are nice and the Indian especially - fantastic food and wine! All in all i would recommend this hotel to everybody and i am planning to go back there again this year!
Dream came true
the best hotel we have ever stopped at .marvellous views towrds tiran island .The staff couldnt have been better although its strange having men do allthe cleaning.the reef is just 130 yardsfrom the shore reached by a floating bridge with amazing variety of fish to be seen either from the pontoon or under water .The manager mr ahmed khaled actually comes around the resteraunt chatting to you and asking if you have any problems but there were none .The gardens were immaculent with a large range of exotic plants . definetly a pace to stay
Good for families with young children
Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, nice variety of restaurants: the main one a large buffet (nice, but nothing too special), two very good one (a fish and Egyptian restaurant) and two pleasant ones (Indian and Italian restaurant). Meals cost about �15-20 pp incl wine and are cheaper in Naama Bay but we really did not like that very touristy town 20 min away by courtesy bus.
It was very clean. The health spa was nice offering a good variety of services (scrubs, massages, cleopatra bath!). The snorkeling was beautiful and only a 50m walk over a jetty.
We had a great time with our children (3 months and 2 year old). Their young ages made us not very mobile but the hotel is on large grounds and with all the activities offered (my daughter loved the mini-disco, we hated the morning-gymnastics) we did not feel convined. It is easily big enough to stay far away from the Italian animation team! Arranging a dive for just a couple of hours or a whole day was quickly done.
Please go its lovely
I cannot understand anyone slagging off the Baron Resort Hotel in Sharm El Shiekh.
This Hotel is the best by far that i have ever been to.
It is so bloody good that we have been back 5 times.
The food is excellant and the staff are all to courteous and friendly.
The place is spottless and the food is fantastic.
To those who dislike it try staying at home .
The beach is beautiful and the sea views are spectacular.
We have always suggested that The Baron should have a 5+ rating.
Again those who slag it off should stay at home as they obviously do not understand the term luxury or relaxation!!!!!
Nice hotel
We went to the baron from Jan 6th - 13th 2005 after staying in the Iberotel Palace the previous year. The hotel is a large complex situated directly on Ras Nosrani (Christians head).
The hotel was quiet, very clean and the staff were very helpful and pleasant to us. The food was generally quite cheap and of a good standard, although we both felt the Iberotel Palace was a little better in this respect.
One thing I will mention is that the main swimming pools are very cold - around 16C which feels like icewater and you can definitely not swim in them in the Winter period. However there is a good covered swimming pool with Jacuzzi and jets which is nice.
Temperature wise - in January, the coldest month, it varies from 18 C to about 24 C - sometimes there is a wind which can make things a bit chilly if you've been in the sea - it's certainly fine though. In the summer it has been known to hit 45 C + so take plenty of sunblock!
The hotel has all the facilities you'd expect of a good beach place with water sports, volleyball, football, bars, snooker, pool, restaurants, etc..
By far the best aspect of the hotel is the snorkelling/diving - you have to walk across the reef for about 100 - 150 m on a floating jetty - from there you can just jump right in to water about 10-15m deep and be on the edge of the reef where you will see pretty much the largest array of fish and coral anywhere in the world. Absolutely amazing!!!!
The hotel is about 20km from the Neama Bay area which is a tourist area full of bazars, shops, restaurants, jewelry stores etc.. the usual sales tactics are delivered - "come visit my new shop!", "my cousin is from " - just try to ignore them and browse at will - there are some good deals to be had but don't ever pay the price they ask as this is always far too high - it's difficult the first couple of times, but offer at least 40-50% of the price and they will probably accept the deal, for example we bought a diamond ring for 3500 LE (about �320 UK) when the sticker price was almost 6000 LE!
There are some good trips to be had, quadbiking, St Catherines monestary in the Sinai mountains, snorkelling trips to Ras Mohamed marine park - etc.. we'd done most of those the last time, but the Quadbiking is brilliant fun!
Overall highly recommended :)
Nice position but...
The Baron enjoys a nice position on one of the most beautiful beach of Sharm-El-Sheikh.
Hopefully, it is not situated in Naama Bay (which is Sharm's main town), because Naama is an awful place.
The most important point at the Baron is that you have a fantastic coral reef barrier (3 kms long!) just in front of the hotel, and you can use a special bridge to get directly on the barrier, without walking on the rocks & corals !
The barrier reef is one of the most beautiful I've seen (with the Maldives of course), 100 times better than in Hawaii or the Caribbean, the water is crystal-clear and you can see all the kinds of fishes & corals, while snorkelling on it !
But the Baron in itself has nothing of a good resort, its architecture is awful: it's a gigantic white building, with very few trees, so you don't really feel you're on a vacation near the sea, in fact it seems a downtown hotel.
Rooms are OK, cleanliness OK, but you must ask for a room with a balcony, if not you'll have a room at the ground floor, without the possibility to relax outside, or let your swimwear/snorkelling gear dry...
The big problem at the Baron is the food. While we were there, I've been ill for 5 days because of the food they serve at the main restaurant, and more than 30% of people staying there with us also had problems !
The other problem is that it's really hard to get some toilet paper. I mean, we constantly had to ask the housekeeping staff for some toilet paper, and we would get it only after 1 or 2 days, that was crazy !
Dining options are very limited, the main restaurant is, as I told you, very bad, and the other restaurant on the beach didn't seem better.
Baron's staff is OK, but some problems at the reception when we told them that I was ill for the bad food, and that we would have like to have some toilet paper in our room !
The beach is not quiet, because the entertainment team was always playing music VERY loud. So, you're on a nice beach, you try to relax because you're on vacation, and these guys play house-music from 9 AM until 7 PM, while nobody there wants to dance (it's 50 degrees celsius there by the day) or even listen to it...
Departing from Sharm, we had some problems at the airport, because the restrooms there are really awful, the custom agent was NOT friendly and made us open all our luggages, and our plane (Eurofly) was very late (3 hours delay).
I'll never go back in Sharm-El-Sheikh !

It's one of the places where you can see corals and big things like tiger sharks and whale sharks.

Childish Gambino - Silk Pillow
Artist: Childish Gambino
Producer: Beck & Childish Gambino
Album: Royalty
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 16 votes )
In the digital age it's hard to say you're still shocked by a collaboration. 2 Chainz was just on a track with Justin Bieber, and indie rockers routinely link up with rappers for genre-bending new music. But, honestly, I still did a double take when I saw that Childish Gambino's new release, Silk Pillow, features…Beck. Wow, can't say I saw that one coming. And lest you think Gambino only teamed up with Beck for the shock factor, the two also co-produced Silk Pillow, crafting an instrumental that fluctuates wildly from verse to chorus, going from slowly relaxed piano line to distorted electronica in second. Vocally Beck brings back some of that free-association, quasi-rap we first heard way back on Loser, while Gambino offers up yet more of the personal and pop culture reference heavy rhymes he's made his name on. I'd have to imagine Silk Pillow is the most musically adventurous track off Gambino's upcoming mixtape, Royalty, but after today anything's apparently possible in Mr. Gambino's world. I guess we'll all just have to stay tuned.
