Harewood House
When Edwin Lascelles commissioned the building of Harewood House in 1759, he wanted only the best; his architect was John Carr of York, the interiors were designed by the celebrated Robert Adam, the furniture crafted by master-cabinet maker, Thomas Chippendale and the landscape shaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. The vision of these talented people can still be witnessed today, with magnificent State Rooms and grand sweeping views across the serpentine lake and rolling hills.
Harewood is now one of the ten Treasure Houses of England and the family home of the 8th Earl and Countess of Harewood. It has always been a living, changing place, reflecting the views, tastes and lifestyles of its inhabitants. It has been an 18th century gentleman's country house, a Victorian family home, a Royal Household, a wartime convalescent home and is now a major tourist destination. These days it is run as an educational charitable trust, for the public benefit, making the House and its extraordinary collections accessible to as wide a range of people as possible. In July 2014 it will become host to the world's greatest annual sporting event, the Tour de France, when the peloton glides down the drive and past the front of the house.
Throughout the generations, the Lascelles family have been passionate patrons of the arts, commissioning new talent, inspiring originality and collecting masterpieces from around the world. This tradition continues today with Harewood Contemporary, a programme of temporary exhibitions which take place in the Terrace Gallery, State Rooms and Grounds. A particularly exciting programme is being developed for 2014, celebrating the very best of France and Yorkshire. You can find out more on the Harewood website, or read an unbiased verdict here.

to people with life-disrupting problems |
A dedicated team of staff and volunteers manage the shelter, and take time to get to know each client to find out each individual's history and background and offer additional support.
Practical and emotional help are also offered to the ladies in the forms of listening support, counselling, and where to go to resolve issues with abuse, housing, mental health, relationship breakdown and addiction.
Spring of Hope is Bristol's only women's night shelter, where vulnerable women can meet workers who can help them find a longer term solution for their problems, and where they can be signposted to other services.
The shelter is solely run by female staff and volunteers in order to effectively engage with the women who come for help. Due to the abuse that many of the women experience, they are very reluctant to allow male workers to help them.
We currently open five nights every week - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - accommodating up to 12 women.
The night shelter doors open at 10pm on a first come first served basis. Doors are closed at midnight. We are unable to store belongings or reserve beds for individuals.
Individuals can self-refer, but if you are an agency referring someone to the shelter, it is helpful for the team to know. The Spring of Hope Manager is Val Thompson and she can be contacted on
or on mobile 07531389711.
We have now been hosting our clients at the new Spring of Hope building since May and all of us, staff, volunteers and clients alike, are appreciating the dedicated space which is now available to us.
We have four permanent bedrooms, which are shared between three clients to each room, and our own living areas, complete with kitchen and laundry facilities.
Beds are still allocated on a first come first served basis every night. We are also currently negotiating with Changing Lives Charity shops and One25, who are seeking to come along side us to support us in the work we are doing and take advantage of the facilities that we have to offer as a result of your generosity.
We are still always grateful for all the finance which is generously donated to Spring of Hope. Our staffing costs are on going and there are always bills to pay. In exchange we are able to provide a greatly increased level of safety and comfort to all those who come through our doors. They particularly enjoy the chandeliers and the flowers which are continually provided by our donors at the Crisis Centre.
Since the shelter opened in October 2011, we have provided over 100 women with a safe bed for the night. In the past year we have seen a marked increase in the number of women seeking our help and a generous donor has donated the use of a building rent free to meet this need.
Currently, the women sleep on mattresses in a single large room in the charity's main office building. The women have to leave the shelter in the morning as the main building is used by the charity's other projects.
However, the new building will mean that the women's night shelter will have sole use of the facility. The building will accommodate up to 12 women in proper beds in shared bedrooms, on a first come first served basis every night. It will also enable the shelter to be able to provide support services in the day, including counselling, listening support and access to other services. This ability to be able to expand our services for vulnerable and homeless women is very exciting and is a much needed development for the homeless community.
But we need £15,000 to enable us to open the new building at the start of 2014. These costs include the provision of furniture and electrical items, a month's salaries for two support workers and the first month's running costs for the building.
Please specify 'Spring of Hope' when donating.

Travel Guide Europe Azerbaijan
Placed attractively along the western coast of the Caspian Sea between Russia and Iran, you'd naturally expect Azerbaijan to be a place of some internal unrest with neighbours like that. But in recent years, the tension has been with western neighbour Armenia, over Nagorno Karabakh, an area placed under Azeri control by the Soviets despite Armenian protests. For this reason, it's best to avoid the western reaches of Azerbaijan, where the tension is greatest.
But despite this setback, Azerbaijan still offers its visitors a heady combination of history and culture. Azerbaijan was settled as early as 1000 BCE, and the signs of a long past are everywhere. At Baku, the capital, the hustle and bustle of a country eagerly awaiting a economic boom (Azerbaijan's got plenty of oil riches within its borders) is underscored by a decidedly historical look. Elsewhere, visitors are drawn to ancient temples, ancient rock-art drawings, or brand new embroidered textiles.
The earliest evidence of human settlement in the territory of Azerbaijan dates to the late Stone Age. Later it became part of Alexander the Great's Empire and its successor Seleucid Empire. Caucasian Albanians, the original inhabitants of the area, established an independent kingdom around the fourth century BC.
During Median and Persian rule, many Albanians adopted Zoroastrianism and then switched to Christianity prior to coming of Muslim Arabs and more importantly Muslim Turks. The Turkic tribes are believed to have arrived as small bands of ghazis whose conquests led to the Turkification of the population as largely native Caucasian and Iranian tribes adopted the Turkic language of the Oghuz and converted to Islam over a period of several hundred years.
After the collapse of the Russian Empire during World War I, Azerbaijan, together with Armenia and Georgia became part of the short-lived Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic. When the republic dissolved in May 1918, Azerbaijan declared independence as the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR). The ADR was the first modern parliamentary republic in the Muslim World. The state was invaded by Soviet forces in 1920, and remained under Soviet rule until the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
In 1993, democratically elected president Abülfaz Elçibay was overthrown by a military insurrection led by Colonel Surat Huseynov, which resulted in the rise to power of the former leader of Soviet Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev. Although during his presidency Aliyev managed to reduce the country's unemployment, reined in criminal groups, established the fundamental institutions of independent statehood, and brought stability, peace and major foreign investment, the country was tainted by rampant corruption in the governing bureaucracy. In October 1998, Aliyev was reelected for a second term. Despite the much improved economy, particularly with the exploitations of Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli oil field and Shah Deniz gas field, Aliyev's presidency became unpopular due to vote fraud, widespread corruption and objection to his autocratic regime. The same harsh criticism followed the elections of former Prime Minister Ilham Aliyev, the second leader of New Azerbaijan Party after the death of his father Heydar.
Azerbaijan shares international borders with Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran and little bit with Turkey. Azerbaijan is in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia, straddling Western Asia and Eastern Europe. It lies between latitudes 38° and 42° N, and longitudes 44° and 51° E. The total length of Azerbaijan's land borders is 2,648 kilometres, of which 1,007 kilometres are with Armenia, 756 kilometres with Iran, 480 kilometres with Georgia, 390 kilometres with Russia and 15 kilometers with Turkey. The coastline stretches for 800 kilometres, and the length of the widest area of the Azerbaijani section of the Caspian Sea is 456 kilometres. The territory of Azerbaijan extends 400 kilometres from north to south, and 500 kilometres from west to east.
Three physical features dominate Azerbaijan: the Caspian Sea, whose shoreline forms a natural boundary to the east; the Greater Caucasus mountain range to the north; and the extensive flatlands at the country's center. There are also three mountain ranges, the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, and the Talysh Mountains, together covering approximately 40% of the country. The highest peak of Azerbaijan is mount Bazardüzü (4,466 metres), while the lowest point lies in the Caspian Sea (-28 metres).
The main water sources are the surface waters. However, only 24 of the 8,350 rivers are greater than 100 kilometres in lenght. All the rivers drain into the Caspian Sea in the east of the country. The largest lake is Sarysu (67 km²), and the longest river is Kur (1,515 kilometres), which is transboundary. Azerbaijan's four main islands in the Caspian Sea have a combined area of over thirty square kilometres.
The north of Azerbaijan is a beautiful region and the Caucasus Mountains is one of the natural highlights of the country. The Sheki Region is of particular interest and several days in the mountains is a welcome relief of the hustle and bustle of Baku. Gateway is the small city of Sheki which also has many things to offer itself, like the Palace of the Sheki Khans (Khansarai) which is a magnificent work of Islamic architecture. Sheki is located in the northeast of the country and getting here is half the fun, along mountain roads with terrific views. To the north are the dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus.
The Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape is on the Unesco World Heritage List and is located immediately east of Baku. It contains three areas of a plateau of rocky boulders in the semi-desert and has an outstanding collection of more than 6,000 rock engravings dating back to almost 40 000 years ago. There are remains of inhabited caves, settlements and burials, which all reflect an intensive human use by the inhabitants of the area. It is possible to visit this area on a day trip from Baku.
Believe it or not, but Azerbaijan has its own beaches along the Caspian Sea and the most popular ones with the locals are located in the northeast of the country, around the city of Xachmaz. But the Xachmaz region has more to offer and on top of the beaches is very rich with monuments of history, culture and architecture. Some of the most significant are Sarkartapa, the ancient city-fortress Khudat, a fourth century Albanian mosque and the sixteenth century mosque-madrasa of Shah Abbas.
Azerbaijan generally has a pleasantly warm climate. Summers can get very hot though, with temperatures close to 40 °C on some days, though averaging more around 30 °C along the coastal and lower inland areas. Winters are not that cold, around 10 °C from December to February in Baku, but can rise as high as 20 °C and as low as around 0 °C during the day. Inland it is a bit colder, and higher up in the Caucasus mountains it is very cold with snow during winter. Summers here are pleasantly warm though. Rainfall in the country is possible during most of the year, but tends to increase in autumn and higher parts (especially in the north) have much more rain (and snow) compared to places inland.
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is the busiest airport in the Caucasus. It is located near Baku, the capital, and services flights primarily to destinations in Central Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe. Azerbaijan Airlines, the national airline, has its main hub here.
There are smaller airports at Ganja and Nakhichevan, both of which serve flights to Moscow. Turan Air also operates flights between Istanbul and Ganja.
The only international train connection is the direct train between Baku and the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi.
You can enter Azerbaijan by car from Georgia and Iran. Borders with Armenia are closed and with Russia only open to citizens of Russia and Azerbaijan. You need all the proper information, documentation and permits including visa.
Buses travel west to Georgia and south to Iran. There are even directly masochistic bus connections to Istanbul, taking something like 3 days...or more. It's better to trips in stages, even to Iran as crossing the border takes much longer if you are in a big bus. Better to walk across alone.
Ferries, both cargo and passenger, travel across the Caspian Sea from Baku in Azerbaijan to Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan and Aqtau in Kazakhstan. Services are erratic though, but the crossing to Turkmenistan is the most popular and reliable. Some ferries go to Russia as well, which is mostly used because as a foreigner, you can't travel overland between the two countries.
Theoretically, ferries also cross the Caspian Sea to Iran, but these are unreliable and infrequent, no schedules exist, they are not comfortable and it's slow. It is adventurous though!
Azerbaijan Airlines flies between Baku and Ganja and Nakhchivan City (exclave).
There are a few rail connections, most notably the one going west towards Georgia, linking Baku with Tbilisi. It's comfortable, cheap, but slow and not suitable for going to some more remote areas.
Although several companies offer cars, it is best to rent one with a driver if you feel the need. Roads are not always in a good shape and driving can get on your nerves in some bigger cities and towns or in the moutains of the north. You need a national driver's licence (EU countries) or international driving permit.
Buses and minivans are the way to go in Azerbaijan with frequent, reliable and cheap connections going literally everywhere in the country. It is also generally faster (or less slow) than trains, but also not as comfortable. Minivans leave when full, buses run on a timetable somehow.
Few boats are available for passengers, but sometimes there are services from Baku going south to Lankaran.
Everyone needs a visa and only at the international airport can you get one upon arrival. It is prudent to arrange your visa in advance. Check the online visa information or go to the nearest embassy or consulate.

The Azerbaijani Manat (AZM) is the official currency of the country. One manat is divided into 100 qəpik. Banknotes are in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 manat. Coins in circulation are 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50 qəpik.
Azerbaijani (or Azeri Turkish) is the official language. Dialects of the language are also widely spoken in parts of Iran and in Russia's Republic of Dagestan, south-eastern Georgia, northern Iraq, and eastern Turkey.
English and Russian are both used in the education system. Lezgi, Talysh, Avar, Tatar, Ukrainian, Georgian, Turkish, Tsakhur, Kurdish, Tat, Udi, Greek, Chechen and Armenian (In Nagorno-Karabakh only) are spoken by minorities.
See also: Travel Health
There are no vaccinations legally required to travel to Azerbaijan. It's a good thing to get your vaccinations in order before travelling to Azerbaijan. The general vaccination against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (DTP) is recommended. Also a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended and when travelling longer than 2 weeks a vaccination against typhoid.
If you are staying longer than 3 months or have a particular risk (travelling by bike, handling of animals, visits to caves) you might consider a rabies vaccination. Vaccination against Tuberculosis as well as hepatitis B are also sometimes recommended for stays longer than 3 months.
Malaria only occurs in the south and in Kachmas during the summer months, but taking malaria pills is not necessary. Just use mosquito reppelant and wear long sleeves when it is dark.
Finally, other possible health issues include diarrhea and other general travellers' diseases like motion sickness. Watch what you eat and drink and in case you get it, drink plenty of fluids (to prevent dehydration) and bring ORS.

The piano lamp works like it is supposed to and looks great. What more can I ask? In one of the reviews, someone said it would tilt and have to be repositioned. I have not had that problem even though we put a spacer in the top of the part that clips to the music stand on the piano. I wanted a little more room for page turning. It is still nice and sturdy.

Welcome! My wife and I became converts about four years ago when we bought our first sailboat. I grew up on the water, but aside from screwing around once in a sunfish on a lake, we had zero sailing experience. It can be frustrating sometimes when the wind is light and/or coming from the wrong direction to get where you want to go, but we love it. I'm a firm believer in the saying that on a powerboat it is all about the destination, a sailboat is the destination. I also love telling my powerboat friends that we just added five gallons if diesel and that because we are using the boat a lot it may last us only a month. That said, do keep up with your powerboat friends - they come in handy when it is really hot, there is no wind, or you want a quick ride to a restaurant.

This is a real beauty--pinker than I thought I would like for a nude, but, I fell in love with it. Very clean and classy; won't be without this one. Respectfully submitted, colormepink
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
To my mind there is no other polish that has "classy" so clearly written on it. Not only does the name make you feel like you are instantly transported to the Champs-Elysees when wearing it, this particular shade of slightly-pinked white is a great blend that equilibrates a french-manicure-sans-effort with an all-over-white polish. To my knowledge, some of Boston's most prestigious nail salons constantly have clients asking to have their nails painted with "Mademoiselle".
I had been looking for the perfect sheer pink polish for years, and was captivated by how Mademoiselle looked in a photo accompanying its award for "Best Pink" polish in Allure magazine. It also described the colour as a sheer, clean-looking pink, so I had to try it! It was the first Essie polish I had ever purchased, and I am so impressed.
I am usually an OPI devotee, but find their sheer polishes are not long-wearing on my nails - they tend to chip and crack easily, and moisture gets underneath them. This is not the case at all with Mademoiselle, which lasts on my nails without chips/cracks for four days (at least).
The colour is beautiful too, and was perfectly described by Allure. I usually change the colour of my polish every week, but have worn Mademoiselle for the past three weeks in a row, ever since I purchased it! I am so impressed with the wear of it I will definitely be buying more Essie colours.
This is my favorite nail polish ever! I have gone through 4 bottles of this polish in the past 3 years. I stumbled upon it when I was looking for a polish for my toes for a formal event and it has been love ever since!!

This is just one of those colours that look awesome on everyone and is appropriate for any occasion or activity. I usually alternate between Mademoiselle, Ballet Slippers, and the bolder colours when I get my manicure.
I purchased this after seeing the reviews on MUA. I'm a huuuuuge fan of OPI's Bubble Bath, but wanted something with more of a pink hue. (btw my skin tone is fair/medium, with yellow undertones). Mademoiselle is perfect, and I get compliments on it all the time. It lasts FOREVER on my nails, even after typing, dishwashing, and carwashing. Thanks to all the MUA posters for their recs!! :)

I used this for a french mani, and tho it went on nicely,it was far too pink for my warm-undertone skin. I put on 2 coats - 1 didn't cover well enough for my liking, and two was way too pink. I will continue to use it til it's gone, putting a coat of Allure on top to cut the pink down a bit but I will not repurchase.

This is the perfect pale pink sheer for me. Very subtle & looks great w/my pale, cool toned skin. Def a HG
there's not much else i could add that hasn't been said except - i love this because when the first little chips start to appear, you can't really tell unless you're looking for them. with this polish i can get away with wearing it a little longer, which is great since i'm lazy about removing polish at the first chip!

erikf2 Posts: 100Andrew, you might also want to check out the HappyCampers chat area (www.happycampers.net); lots of folks hauling fifth-wheels over there.
I have Firestone Ride Rites with the in-cab control on my '00 Silverado 2500 since I carry a slide-in camper (2100 lbs. dry). Airbags are generally considered a necessity when hauling heavy loads more for maintaining safe handling characteristics (anti-sway) than for ride comfort reasons. Since your pin weight should actually be well under your payload capacity, I would look more to progressive or adjustable shocks like Edelbrock IAS or Rancho 9000s to improve ride smoothness, although properly adjusted airbags should give some relief in this area as well. -
obyone Posts: 8,065Yep...it's Hawaii. I remember Hulagirl had bought a Supercrew from Oregon and had it shipped to Hawaii for around $800 cause no dealer would budge off of MSRP. I think the Oregon dealer did an invoice + $500 deal. Was thinking of going the same route when ready.....cause there ain't no way I'm going to pay what they are asking.
obyone Posts: 8,065Saleman wanted me to fill a credit app. I kinda laughed. So while walking through the showroom said really loud "If filling a credit app is required to negotiate for a truck, I know a GMC dealer up the street who doesn't require that!!". The finance manager who was walking by looked distressed. So I had to add (since this chevy dealer's parent co. also owns a GMC dealership 20 miles away) "I can also go to the other GMC dealer and not fill in any credit app. Hell, I can go to any dealership and not fill in a credit app to deal for a truck"...needless to say, I didn't fill a credit app. I also told the F&I guy that this is my third truck I'm looking at...better start keeping better records.
careyace Posts: 44Does anybody recommend a manufacture and if I should get the in-cab control.I think I will get a set come spring/summer before camping season starts here in Minnesota.
Also thanks to Ryan in helping me find splash guards.I have been looking for awhile for some guards and I kept going to his pics cuz I liked his so that is what I bought.
Thanks Ryan if you are reading,for your pics they helped me out alot.

jmincher Posts: 65I traded in my 2000 GMC X-Cab Z71 5.3 3.73 last night. It only had 1600 miles on it and I paid $26,500 in Nov. I got $24,995 in the trade-in. I didn't have any problems with the truck I just needed out of the payment and an SUV.
Funny Story: Last night at the dealership a guy was buying a 2001 3/4 ton HD, the went through the whole process of financing and everything when the salesman handed him the keys. A few minutes later the guy comes storming back in and said "That's trucks not 4WD".
Needless to say he thought the whole time it was 4WD. Don't ask me how either the customer or salesman let it go that far but the guy was pissed. -
redsilverado Posts: 1,000like the guy did'nt have a clue as to why he was buying a HD truck for in the first place. usually poeple buying that much truck will take the time to at least sit in it and go for a test drive.
but there are those that'll buy all the crap from those tv commercials that promise you financial wealth beyond your dreams. -
hunter98 Posts: 273Yeah, sounds like the guy didn't know what the f*** he was doin. If you don't know when one is 4wd or not that you just bought, you need a whole in your head for a lobodamy worse than you need the truck. I assume you traded for a Yukon?. How well did that work out for you. Hope it works out well for ya.

mledtje Posts: 1,123You might want to check out the Cabover Camper and Camper Trailer chat here on the Edmunds site.
We have discussed air bags a couple of times. I have installed Air Lifts on my 1500 and my 2500. The 1500 sagged down to the bumpstops when loaded near the GVWR. A set of Air Lift Ride Control air springs helped that out without destroying the ride. Those came from Summit Racing for a little over $100. On the 2500 I installed the Air Lift Super Duty air bags from Camping World for $250. The Ride Controls were a pain to install while the Super Dutys where a snap to install. Vince4 has an in-cab control for his air pressure and uses it to level in campsites, to adjust the headlights when driving, etc.

hillhound Posts: 537Hey I just got a 2001 Silv Ext Cab 1500 4x4 with 5300 and 4.10. Really like it so far. Traded in Dodge Ram 1500 with 318 and I love the increased power!! The salesman tried to talk me into the 4800 but I said what the h*ll & went all the way. The 4800 alone blew away the 318 anyway!
I had alot of trouble with that Ram but it was fun to drive. Hope the Chevy holds up good. This is my first ext cab truck (wife's idea) but I'm starting to like it.
The posts about the guys not paying attention to what the truck has when they buy it cracks me up. My dad's neighbor bought a Ranger a few years ago (great deal) and was real happy with it until my dad asked how you put it in 4wd!
haha. Seems it was missing that little feature. Anyway the dealer took it back with no major consequences.
Catch y'all later... -
dch0300 Posts: 472Congratulations !!!!!
The 2001 Silverado's seem to be built quite well.
I got my Z-71 ext-cab in Dec '00 (truck born on 12/6/00)
and my dad got his Z-71 ext-cab in Jan '01 (truck born on 11/14/00) .
Like son like father, I guess.
Neither of us have had any problems and no regrets.
They are really great trucks.
I got in a stop light race the other day with a fwd V6 Camary.
I lost because when I stepped on the gas, both back tires broke loose, and I laid a pair of 20' patches of tire mark on the dry pavement behind me. I had to get off the gas to get traction again. I did catch back up to it again, but couldn't pass it because our two lane road merged into one lane. The 5.3L has a lot of power. Maybe I should try that in 4wd next time.
Enjoy the ride......

almost16 Posts: 1Cant wait, I turn 16 in February. I will most likely get my first truck in March or April. Im thinking about getting Silverado 1500 Ext. Cab. Flowmasters and everything it is gonna be a sweet ride. I'm counting down the days till i get this truck. If my parents want to squander a little more cas it will be 4x4 and flare sides. Got any tips on how to make this truck run sweeter.
hunter98 Posts: 273Consider yourself lucky that your parents are going to buy you a New truck of that price range especially at 16. Drive carefully not carelessly to avoid accidents. You will have to watch where you park to avoid getting dings or scratches, and won't fit in some parking spots. Take it easy on the throttle in the fact that these trucks love to rev and run fast. You really don't need any mods with the 5.3L but if you feel the need, Exaust, K&N air induction, Synthetic motor oil is where most go to and stop. Should put the HP just over 300 compared to the stock 285.
Best of Luck
2000 GMC 1500 Ext Cab SLT 4x4 -
rgmaxx Posts: 2Hello All... I have a 1999 GMC Sierra 1500 Ex. Cab 4X4 5.3L. The motor will use ~2 Quarts of oil (5W-30W) every 5,000mi. I have had the dealer check the situation and they gave me a GM Technical Bulletin that says this level of consumption is within "acceptable" (HA!) limits.
The truck doesn't smoke at all, there is some liter noise when at idol. The truck has 34,000mi on it now its done this from new.
Has anyone experienced this problem, how can I get the motor fixed while its still under warranty... Help!
Thanks in advance. -
87lion Posts: 166I wasn't allowed to get a license until I was 17. Then I had to pay my own insurance and gas, and even then could only drive the family car occasionally. I finally got the family car to share with my brother when Mom got a new car. By then it was so rusted I redid the two rear wheel wells with galvanized sheet, replaced one door with a junk yard door and redid about the bottom third of another door with sheet metal and White Magic.
I think Hunter said it well in post 58. Appreciate it, take care of it and drive responsibly,

Very polished and great coop.
*This review is from June 29, 2008.*
Played solo on normal and got all the skulls. I've played the previous games on the PC so playing on the 360 took a bit to get use to. I really like the dual wield! The story was kinda hard to follow but the length of the levels was about right. I wish there was a full level with the tank or the fighter/air plane thing. Playing on normal, the enemies were quite stupid and I pretty much had no trouble.
Just this past Friday, another friend got a 360 so that made four of us with it. So, naturally I insisted we do four player co-op on heroic. We got off to a late start but beat the game in under five hours. We all agreed that the very last bit were you was driving to the ship was the best part. Wish I had a video of that moment with audio.

Juliana Hatfield tells all (and then some)
The music is the same, but the context is so much different. Juliana Hatfield's still-girlish voice has deepened with age, and gone is the whimsy of "Spin the Bottle." It has been replaced by something more raw and confessional, and ultimately that much more sad. If you listen closely to Hatfield's new album, buried in that chipper jangle pop, you can hear the time.
In the minds of her fans, perhaps, Hatfield's only struggles over the past 15 years have been the adolescent foibles and satiric disasters in her lyrics. But in the last few months, Hatfield has revealed herself with the...

Clean, modern, well-kept. We were received close to midnight due to an accident on the highway that kept us stuck for 4 hours.
After arriving almost midnight, with no food or drink since we were stuck from 7-11pm, no shops or fast food stores were open. Arriving at the hotel, there was absolutely no provision for that, not even a glass or a cup if you wanted to drink the tap wate

Is Blendtec refurbished blender a cheaper alternative to a brand-new unit?
Owning a high-powered Blendtec Refurbished blender means you need to shell out a significant amount of money. But through the existence of a Blendtec Refurbished unit, you can now be the owner of a blending machine with power and speed without spending a fortune.
Choosing a heavy-duty machine like the Blendtec is one of the best decisions you will make if your looking to save time in your kitchen. This machine has more than enough power to deal with the toughest ingredients. It also comes with super fast blades that effortlessly blend whatever you add to the Blendtec Jar.
If you opt for a Refurbished Blendtec unit, you will still get the same swiftness and power of a new unit. But the cost will be much less.
After you start using your Refurbished Blendtec blender, and if you are one who uses it on a daily basis, perhaps making healthy green smoothies, homemade hot soups, or even ice cream, you will not have to worry about it breaking down after using it hard. This is because this type of blender is built with the highest quality materials that can last for a long time without any worries.
Another positive feature of the Refurbished Blendtec is the high quality standards Blendtec uses when they examine each machine. Each refurbished blender goes through a meticulous quality control inspection before it it shipped to your home. This way you can rest assure your blender will give you many years of culinary enjoyment. Any Blendtec Blender that doesn't meet the par gets disregarded.
Can I further get discounted rates through Blendtec deals?
Yes, you can. All Blendtec's refurbished units are further made available at a more affordable price through a promo code so you can save on FREE Shipping. But you need to hurry up as promotion like this will only last for a short period of time or while supplies last. Keep in mind that there are so many people out there who are also on the lookout for refurbished Blendtec machines.
Note: The Blendtec Promo Code will be automatically be added to your shopping cart when you purchase through our Green Smoothie Blenders.com site. Blendtec has automated their system so you don't need to type in the Blendtec Promo Code manually anymore. Just go to the Blendtec.com official site and the additional savings of $25 for FREE Shipping is automatically included in your order! Click Here to see how to properly fill out the Blendtec Promo Code to save $25 in FREE Shipping.
With our promo code you can obtain free shipping on both new and refurbished Blendtec machines, even Blendtec jars are shipped free when you order through our links.
The company usually offers great deals on holiday shopping seasons, like Black Friday, Christmas and President's day. For instance, you could get an extra $40 off of the regular price of their selected refurbished models. Then, if you have a promo code, you can get free shipping.
What is the warranty coverage of a refurbished Blendtec machine?
The same iron-clad Blendtec warranty of 7 years for a new blender is applied to its refurbished models. Did you know Vitamix offers a 5 year warranty on their reconditioned models but 7 year on a new blender? Blendtec gives you 2 extra years of insurance!
Blendtec offers an additional 3 year warranty to their existing 7 yr for $115. This gives you 10 full years of coverage. You can save $40 off if you apply this option in your cart before you check out, costing you only $75 for 10 full years.
What Blendtec refurbished units are available?
There are 5 different option that you can choose from and one of them is the Total Blender Classic Refurbished. This blender brand new goes for $400. But you can get the refurbished price at around $280. Since it is a certified refurbished unit, you will get the full 7-year coverage being offered by the company which is the same warranty as a the brand-new units.
The Total Blender Certified Refurbished unit is one of the best blending machines in making smoothies, ice cream, milk shakes, etc. It has larger blade and jar to fulfill tougher blending tasks and complete larger recipes in less time and with ease.
How about a refurbished Blendtec made by a third-party?
This is one of the Blendtec deals that you can find online. It is still the same commercial-quality Blendtec machine. The only difference is that it has been reconditioned by a third-party and not by Blendtec itself.
You need to be wary of these types of Blendtec deals as the machines are heavily used. In fact, you can already see signs of wear and some cracks. Plus these refurbished blenders only come with a one-year warranty.
We recommend getting a Blendtec refurbished machine that has been reconditioned by the company itself. It is your best bet for a budget-friendly blending machine. In this way, you will not be making compromises.
This is your opportunity to own one of the most reliable blenders available. Get your Refurbished Blendtec at a discounted price, by using the greensmoothieblenders.com Blendtec promo code to get the best Blendtec deals. You better grab it immediately the supplies won't last that long.

I have stayed at the Excalibur many times and have always felt it was a decent value for the price paid. However, I find it quite insulting that this hotel actually states that their resort fee is for my "convenience". How is it convenient for me to have to pay an additional $15 plus tax/per night for services I did not use or request. The Excalibur should just call their resort fee what it is - a fee that we can, will, and do charge - period. Make sure you know what you are supposed to receive as part of this "convenient" fee, apparently, the benefits change (shrink) regularly. When we booked our reservation, the resort fee included 2 free drinks per stay. However, upon check in we were told that the resort fee no longer included this benefit. I had to speak to a manager and produce a copy of our reservation which stated the resort fee inclusives in order to get our drink coupons.
The check-in desk was very accomodating. I was travelling with an elderly parent and requested that our rooms be adjoined or next to each other and non-smoking. It took a few minutes, but they were able to find us exactly what we needed.
The promotion at the time of our booking included a $20 dining/beverage credit. In reality, this is not a credit at all but a one-time use coupon - you must use the entire amount all at once. This is fine if you dine at one of the ridiculously expensive restaurants, but if you want to use it at one of the bars for a single drink, juice, coffee, or soda you will lose the remainder of the "credit", thereby making it a coupon, not a credit.
This trip we stayed in Tower 1. The room was average size and very clean. The king bed was comfortable, pillows are very soft. My only complaint was that the air conditioner was loud. I slept with ear plugs in and could still hear it.
The location is great if you rent a car - it is easy in and out of the parking lots without getting stuck in The Strip traffic.

"Even my son who hates for me to try new recipes admitted it was good....and had seconds! I did leave out the bell pepper, and add some garlic powder, some red pepper, and a little extra cheese on top. This one will become a 'regular'!"
"Tasty and easy!! I use a 5 oz can of milk and I let it stand overnight or at least 4 hours before baking 325 for 1 hour. I also add buttered bread crumbs or crushed potato chips on top."
"This is a long-standing favorite in our family. I cut the butter to 1/4 cup and add leftover ham. Also, for a different topping, it's a great way to use up the smashed potato chips that are always left in the bottom of the bag - actually the preferred topping! When freezing for a later date, I leave off the topping until just before putting in ..."
"Exactly what you said, "Tasty, Quick and Easy! I seasoned the hamburger with all-seasoning salt, pepper and a couple of dollops of soy sauce and also added the onion as previously suggested. Next time, I will make sure the potatoes are on the 'stiff' side, otherwise, it was great!"
"I made them for a ladies luncheon and they went over very well - very light and tasty. Then I made a batch for myself and substituted 3/4 c whole wheat flour. They weren't as light a texture but still very good for an 'everyday' muffin. This recipe has become a 'regular' in my kitchen!"
"This was very good! As recommended from another reviewer, I added some Italian Seasoning and it did add a little more flavor. I sprinkled a few slivered almonds on top just before baking and it came out beautifully. I will be making this again!"
"Quick, easy and very tasty. I made them for a Thanskgiving appetizer and everyone LOVED them. Useing the string to cut them worked slick! I made them ahead of time, froze them until ready to pop in the oven and baked them the additional 5 min. I will be making these again!"

Where Your Money Goes
WFP, the world's largest humanitarian agency, relies on voluntary contributions to fund our lifesaving programmes. If you, as an individual or a company, make a donation to the World Food Programme (WFP), you're making an effective long-term investment in building a world without hunger – where children grow up healthy and strong, families can lift themselves out of poverty, and nations can prosper.
Every dollar donated to WFP has a big impact in the fight against hunger. You can give with confidence and be sure that your money is being put to good use. This is how we use donations from individuals and the private sector:
Depending on your designation, your gift helps people left without food after disasters, provides hungry schoolchildren with much needed energy to learn, and creates or rebuilds livelihoods across the globe. Click here to make a secure online donation today!
Please find below information on the major funds that WFP uses to carry out its work in the fight against hunger:
This fund supports our most pressing needs: We provide emergency food supplies to disaster survivors and feed children suffering from severe malnutrition. Your donation gives WFP the flexibility to respond with lifesaving assistance when and where it is needed the most!
Our planet produces enough food for every man, woman and child to live healthy and productive lives. Yet more than 300 million of the world's children suffer from chronic hunger. In fact, a third of deaths in children under the age of 5 in developing countries are linked to undernutrition. By giving today, you can help WFP change a child's life forever.
Whether refugees are fleeing war, floods are washing away homes, or a drought is destroying farmland, hunger is often the first emergency. WFP uses its logistics expertise to distribute food and emergency relief supplies to those who need it the most. Our emergency response teams are among the first to respond to emergencies and the last to leave. Making a donation to our Emergency Fund enables us to provide relief to people experiencing turmoil due to conflict and natural disasters.

Nice Job =]
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good times.
The game was great especially its layout in difficulty on how it laddered up. Particullary an interesting way to upgrade the old Pacman game. I did however have to give the music a low score for the bit of repetiveness but all and all good job.
P.S. No I didn't beat it but I'll try again tomorrow.

On New Years Eve or on Christmas Eve or late Christmas night, we're about to get screwed. That'll probably be when votes are cast and bills are signed. Remember the NDAA? Remember how Olbermann was the one guy in the MSM freaked out about the NDAA? And then CNN assigned him to cover the dropping of the big apple, and he was giggling and tipsy while Washington was busy signing into law the NDAA?

Customer Raves & Reviews
Better than expected!
Christmas Album Folded Christmas Cards The pictures on the website don't do this product justice. The quality of the printing and materials are much nicer than expected. Customer service is efficient & friendly (rare combo!) and overall fantastic. I needed to add a picture to the top inside flap, and they did it exactly as I had requested. A real person called me to let me know that they had received the order and also when my proof was ready. Really great company & products.
Amazing Outcome
Dear Santa Folded Christmas Cards I needed my order expedited due to some personal issues. I included a note in the online order I submitted and was hoping for the best. I was called later that same day by a MagnetCard rep. The rep assured me that they were going try and meet my needs. When I arrived home today a package was at my door and the cards were iniside, 3 days earlier than I expected. To say the least, they met my needs and exceeded the goal they set forth. I cannot thank you enough MagnetCard. You have a customer for life. Oh, and to top it off the cards were perfect!
Great Quality
Dotted Ribbon Folded Christmas Cards The card exceeded our expectations. The paper quality was better than "off the counter" at the store and personalized pictures came out fantastic on the card. The cards were delivered early which was also a huge plus. Great job and we'll see you again next holiday season.
Beautiful card
Christmas Album Folded Christmas Cards I love this website and the creativity that it gives the user!
beautiful cards and wonderful service!
Christmas Seal Folded Christmas Cards We absolutely love them; they stand out from the rest with the color and design. Our designer even got the print from our wedding bow ties and put it in our design for us! The material is great but would be nice to be able to write on it. And we got our order in 5 days from approval. We are thrilled! Thank you again!

How to Get Better Gas Mileage
Your vehicle's fuel economy not only depends on your car, truck, van or SUV, but also how you drive, how you maintain your vehicle, how much you store/haul in your car and more. Here are five ways to get better gas mileage and save money, too:
Don't be an aggressive driver. According to FuelEconomy.gov, drivers who speed, brake and accelerate quickly can reduce their gas mileage by as much as 33% on the highway and 5% in the city.
Use the right grade of motor oil. If you're trying to learn how to improve gas mileage, this often-overlooked element can help improve your car's fuel efficiency by as much as 2%, so be sure to follow your manufacturer's recommended guidelines.
Keep your tires properly inflated. For every 1 psi drop in pressure (in all 4 tires), your gas mileage will be reduced by approximately 0.3% – which means that you can improve your MPGs by as much as 3%.
Reduce your payload. In your quest to learn how to get better gas mileage, consider this: If you bike, hike, camp or regularly haul equipment around town for work or play, it'll pay to unload your vehicle when you no longer need easy access to those items. In general, a loaded roof rack can decrease your fuel economy by as much as 5%, and for every 100lbs. in your trunk, you'll reduce your vehicle's MPGs by 1-2%.
Maintain your vehicle. If your car has failed your state's emissions test or is somewhat out of tune, getting it fixed can improve your MPGs by an average of 4%. Meanwhile, having serious maintenance issues corrected, like a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your gas mileage by as much as 40%.
Another way to get better gas mileage is to carpool – and take advantage of HOV lanes during typically busy drive times and you can get more miles per gallon just by avoiding stop-and-go traffic, and long idling times.
