In retrospect, my initial post was something of a rambling diatribe. This time I'll more specifically address the questions Scruffy asked. 1: What is most fun about playing Skarner? I enjoy how condusive his kit is (or was) to aggressive play. Barreling into a fight at full speed and hauling someone off is what Skarner is all about. Or, if you catch someone solo, chasing them all over the place. Sometimes they get away but it's still fun to feel like everyone is afraid of you. With the current changes up on pbe, I feel like there is much less for me to do. I have to stay in the jungle a lot longer because of the way its been re-done, and my enemies already understand that I am going to be a sporadic threat at best. Heck, the changes to the jungle alone make Skarner less fun to play. His scaled back chasing ability makes it all worse. 2: What is least fun/most frustrating to deal with playing as Skarner? The most immediately frustrating thing about playing Skarner is how unreliable his ult is. It really sucks to hear his ult go off but to see that damn Ez casually strolling away. I strongly think that fixing his ult would greatly impact his gameplay flow and satisfaction. The next most frustrating thing about playing him is issues with gap closing. As is, his kit is sub par to many other champs that have jumps and so forth. Giving him more move speed is not the real solution. What Skarner needs is something I like to call "the Udyr treatment"- his W should allow him to ignore unit collision. This would help SO MUCH to decrease frustration. I have been tangled up in minion waves more times than I can remember. In addition to this, a general strength increase to his shield would work wonders. Or perhaps the move speed increase could simply not stop when the very low shield gets burst. The third most frustrating thing about playing him is itemization. Now, Skarner is a melee champ that must auto attack for his kit to function. As such, his Q and autos are where his damage come from. And yet his E and W scale off ap, which he really can't afford to buy. Part of why he feels underwhelming to some is because you are never getting damage from more than a single ability. As crazy as it sounds, maybe he should just scale off AD to streamline his lackluster and expensive build paths. His currrent pbe changes have exacerbated this, particularly changes to his E. Now he really has to invest in that ability as it is fundamental to his remaining cc ability- but it does no damage. Thats because Riot knows full well he is not a ranged caster and keep it accordingly weak- with nothing to balace out that weakness. 3: What is most frustrating about playing against Skarner? I have played against exactly 2 Skarners in my time with Leagye, and neither did very well. 4: I'm posting from my phone and can't remember the fourth question. Ultimately, my experience with him on the pbe has been very negative thus far. His kit feels shallow and useless, and while working a bit better for jungle clear I find there is now no reason to leave it. If I cast my slow at range it has worn off long before I get to them, which also makes the Q change useless because I can't reach them. Before, my enemies had to make a choice whether or not run at sight or potentially have me stick to them. Now they just run as soon as my slow hits, knowing full well I can't get there if they have any kind of jump or dash. And when I DO get to them I can no longer stick! The final proof of this problem is that my overall damage numbers are considerably lower in pbe games than on live games; at least as far as damage to champs is concerned.
What are the most fun aspects of playing Skarner? Chasing people down and being able to consistently slow them so they can't get away unless they burn a flash or a jump. and even than iceborne gauntlet is they go to item to get the jumpers to stop jumping What are the most frustrating/unfun aspects of playing Skarner? being kited is easily the most frustrating aspect but thats a mechanic that isn't just aimed at skarner. i have to say getting his ult off or facing the inconsistency of his q range sometimes. his e is literally nothing in comparison as a skill. i never max that skill ever. i literally save it to last for the points and just max q w and r first. his e is too mana inefficient and doesn't even do enough damage to mitigate putting a single point into it early. w and q are just so much more better early. i think reworking the e is what the bigger problem is. he literally has 3 skills and i do entirely better with those 3 skills then i do when i put a point into e. What are the most frustrating aspects of playing against Skarner? idk i haven't played against one in ages. Are there champions that do Skarners job better than he does? Why? there are some yes. but skarner doesn't have to be played as just an initiator which most people mistakenly use him for. flash ult someone get a kill push win yay! not necessarily. you can just sit in a bush like an actual scorpion would let your food come to you and pick people off very quickly. you are a champion that has a suppress that brings champions to your team for a free kill. on a generally low (if you run AS quints and a wits end its up at max every ~45 seconds ) cooldown. now is this over powered? no. this is actually pretty balanced for what his kit is meant to do. which is chase people down. and i don't see many champions do that besides blitzcrank or udyr and udyr has the same kite problem as skarner with no suppression ultimate. my experience with playing skarner in normal games and ranked games is that nobody understand how you are supposed to play him. or even how to build him because he reacts positively to AS and AP but most of his damage comes from his q which is a consistent slow. edit:I forgot to mention why he isn't in a great spot. Hes not in a great spot because his E is too mana inefficient like most people have said. your're spending 50 mana for lvl 1 e in the jungle when your base mana at lvl 2 is 245. and for 80 damage and a maximum heal for 60 health. at lvl 2 your base health is 536 with no runes or masteries. that isn't worth even using because with runes and masteries the damage mitigation is so small that 60 health isn't all that useful. now take for example lvl 2 you grab w instead of e. now you have a movespeed and AS buff that makes you clear jungle a whole lot faster than e would and you get a shield that mitigates a whole lot more damage than e would. the problem i believe isn't in the ultimate. the ultimate is fine. the utility is there for catching someone out of position and exploiting it, or sometimes initiating with a flash pull sometimes. its there for the utility and the utility is amazing because it definitely out does a ww ult or a malzahar ult in terms of utility. now does it out do a blitzcrank pull? HELL NO its a completely different champion the sad fact is his e is a skill that doesn't belong. maybe give him a passive ability like vaynes silver bolts where if he hits someone with his q a couple of times or his auto attack a couple of times a mark is put on the victim and his next q or auto attack will proc that mark inducing a slow that slowly drops over time. the problem is that his e has no synergy with his kit and frankly is an unnecessary skill in both the jungle and lane. EDIT 2:

Well I can think of 3 solutions to keep skarner's slow on q The first being that while shielded with his W Skarner gets a slow on his q (like urgot) and every time his q lands a successful hit it extends the shield duration by 1 sec (to some max amount of time) and ups the shield by 25-50 or some amount or up per enemy hit (good for jungle?). This makes it a priority to take out skarner's shield so that he can't permaslow you and allows skarner to permaslow someone who doesn't take advantage of his current low shield and allow it to drag on. (However slight adjustments might have to be made so that a skarner coming from the jungle can't have like a 300 shield when coming in for an early gank, such as the shield increase/duration only applies when q hits champions.) The second being that keeping skarner's slow the way it is (reduce it by 5-10% at max if must) , have his q apply a mark for however many seconds (5?) when first hit by his slow. New q hits do not extend the mark but during this time new q slows are X% effective (50%?) and so even if spamming it a max lvl will usually be only 2-3 q's and they will be less effective and thus easier to get away from skarner. The last being q slows apply a mark last (5-7 sec?)and after however so many marks (2-3?) they are immune from slows for the rest of the time. This makes skarner less spammy of his q's as he knows that it will only work so many times and if skarner is chasing and teammates are way behind he could lose the target by using it too early.
Without Shurleia's skarner pretty much sucks. None of the items that build into Twin Shadows help him with jungling so you get that way too late. The ramp up on his movement speed which you note here can not even compete with the 40% you get from shurelia's. To be honest it should be the other way around, start fast and ramp down, to even be remotely useful. If you take out a core item for a champion you need to help him. You already killed him in s3 by putting all the empahsis on 1 monster in the jungle. Now you are just nailing the coffin with the new jungle camp being 1 super strong monster and making shurelia's really useless on Skarner. Skarner was unique because you don't build any jungling items on him you rush shurelias and then proceed to pressure lane since no one escapes him without flash. The reason you pick skarner is for his ult, being probably the best initator in the game. Without the extra speed shurlia gives good luck getting that ult off since it has horrible range.
Pfft, rework Maokai first!

Neptune (Purple Heart)
this wiki
" | Nope, you can't be more popular than me. I mean, I'm the main character of this franchise and stuff. | " |
— Neptune
Neptune, also known as Purple Heart, is the main character of the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise. She is the Console Patron Unit (CPU) of Planeptune and represents a fictitious Sega console. Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Neptune's throughout the series though all of them retain more or less the same personalities and core aspects regardless of the setting.

- Neptune (Purple Heart)/Producing Perfection
- Neptune (Purple Heart)/Hyperdevotion Noire
[show]Neptune VariationsEdit
Main SeriesEdit
1st Hyperdimension NeptuneEdit
Main Article: Neptune (Purple Heart)/1st Hyperdimension
The first Neptune to appear in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series. She acts as the CPU to the landmass of Planeptune. She along with the other goddesses were created by Arfoire and Histoire to reign over Gamindustri in Arfoire's place, each of them possessing a quarter of the power of a true goddess.
While initially Neptune did not have a sister, the remake, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, allowed the CPU Candidates to be created by Histoire, thus allowing Neptune to have Nepgear as a younger sister.
This Neptune's main outfit is the Parka Dress and she has been seen with it as her default outfit in every game that takes place in this particular dimension. Another interesting factor to note is the fact that this Neptune uses both swords and guns in combat, though those are non-existent in the remake and action game.
The 1st Hyperdimension Neptune and 2nd Hyperdimension Neptune are more similar in Re;Birth1 and Neptune U because of the two games coming after the reboot and sequel of the 2nd Hyperdimension Neptune's universe. This allowed the developers to take things from the second Neptune and add them to the first, especially with the remake when she is seen obtaining Purple Heart's Lost Purple bodysuit from Victory. 1st Hyperdimension Neptune and 2nd Hyperdimension Neptune share other similarities as well, such as their ability to transform into a fighter jet.
2nd Hyperdimension NeptuneEdit
Main Article: Neptune (Purple Heart)/2nd Hyperdimension
The reboot, Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, brought about another Hyperdimension and thus another Neptune. Her role of being the CPU of Planeptune remains unchanged, but this time she has a younger sister by the name of Nepgear who acts as the CPU Candidate of the nation. This particular Neptune acts as the main Neptune of the series and thus all subsequent games in the main series involve her.
The origin story behind this Neptune and the other goddesses are unknown, it is simply stated that they are born as CPUs but there is no clear answer as to where or who they come from.
Unlike the Neptune of the other Hyperdimension, this Neptune only uses swords to fight. Though in Re;Birth1 and Neptune U, the other Neptune no longer uses guns either. This is due to Compile Heart making those games using the changes they had made in games that came after the original title.
This particular Neptune is seen wearing two outfits. One is the Parka Dress that the other Neptune wears and another is the Jersey Dress which she first wears in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. Likewise, Neptune's goddess form, Purple Heart also wears both the bodysuit from the first game and a new one from Victory.
2nd Hyperdimension Neptune, like the first one, can turn into a fighter jet. This ability later became name as Final CPU Form in Victory and is shown that the other goddesses are capable of it as well. Final CPU Form is not the only form Neptune and the other 2nd Hyperdimension CPUs can take. Shin Jigen Game Neptune Victory II shows a new form called Next Form, that acts as an accession of their default goddess form.
Adult NeptuneEdit
Main Article: Neptune (Purple Heart)/Adult
Adult Neptune first appears in Shin Jigen Game Neptune Victory II. She is not the Neptune who serves as the main character of the series, but is encountered by her and Nepgear when they end up in the Zero Dimension. It is currently unknown where she comes from, but it is stated that she is not a resident of the Zero Dimension.
One key factor that separates Adult Neptune from all other Neptunes is not only the fact that she is much older, but the fact that she is human rather than a goddess. Another interesting fact is that Adult Neptune dual wields swords and uses guns as well as a callback to the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game.
Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection NeptuneEdit
Main Article: Neptune (Purple Heart)/Producing Perfection
Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart NeptuneEdit
Main Article: Neptune (Purple Heart)/Hyperdevotion Noire
Fictitious Hardware InformationEdit
Unlike the other Console Patron Units of the series, Neptune represents a console that is entirely fictional. It boasts unrealistically advanced hardware specifications, which is most likely a nod to how SEGA was a company that was ahead of its time when it came to the manufacturing of their consoles.It should also be noted that unlike the other goddesses in the game, Neptune's console has never been hinted to change, but rather the technology for it simply improves while the console itself remains unchanged.
Another thing to note is that in the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game, for Neptune's second special attack she is seen turning into her fictitious console which in turns opens up and becomes a fighter jet that is capable of firing a Wave Motion Canon. In Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, she is seen assuming the Fighter Jet form again in her Final Hard Form, but this time instead of the Wave Motion Canon she is shown to fire a barrage of missiles. However, during Plutia's Final Hard Form where Plutia becomes a Stealth Bomber, Neptune takes her jet form again and is shown to be firing a Wave Motion Canon alongside her. This shows that Neptune and the other goddesses are capable of assuming forms outside of their normal Human and Goddess forms.

Purple Heart's Theme | |
In Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, Purple Heart has her own theme composed by Nobuo Uematsu's Band, the Earthbound Papas. It notably serves as the main boss battle theme for the first half of the game and occasionally plays in cutscenes.
Neptune also has two character songs on the Hyperdimension Neptunia Shugo Megami Character Song CD Vol.1 album, one called Fly High! which is preformed by her human form and the other being Purple Energy which is preformed by her goddess form. These songs also make an appearance in Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection as remixed versions which were later released on the Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection Complete Bundle Processor Vol.1 album which also features Neptune singing the idol dance versions of With Confidence , HP ∞ LOVE Power and Dear... every day .
Additionally in Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection Neptune also preforms two other songs called Mira Infinity and Dreaming At Full Power. Both songs were released on the Hyperdimension Neptunia Share Complete Discs set and have a solo version and group version with the other CPUs.
Other AppearancesEdit
Drama CDsEdit
If A Goddess Was Your WifeEdit
On the If A Goddess Was Your Wife drama CD, Neptune tries to wake up her husband so she can spend time with him on their holiday off. Despite her efforts in human form, she is unable to get him up so instead she transforms into Purple Heart and tries again for a second time. This time it proves to be successful and then she reverts back to her human form.
Neptune states that she plans the have the two of them play video games all day til the next morning as part spending time together and starts off with a racing game. Due to her moving around so much while playing, her skirt lifts up which causes her husband to be distracted and ultimately lose the race. Neptune is embarrassed by this but ends up forgiving him for staring at her like that.
Having not eaten anything since they woke up, Neptune's husband goes to get something to eat and Neptune requests for him to bring back a cup of pudding while she plays by herself for a bit. When he return, Neptune has him feed her the pudding while she plays but eventually ends up having the spoon jab her on the side of the mouth.
Being in extreme pain from this, Neptune suggests an alternate method to being fed. She sits down on his lap and says that he can hug her and feed her at the same time. Neptune finds herself distracted by his strong embrace and ends up losing the race on the game. Her husband then tells her to get off since she lost, but she blames him for distracting her and says that he have to feed her the rest of her pudding instead.
The Goddesses will Sleep with YouEdit
On the The Goddesses will Sleep with You CD, Neptune promises to stay with "him" until you fall asleep, but she has no idea how to get him to sleep. She suggests counting kangaroos because for a long time whenever she did it she would fall asleep more easily. However, when she does this she slowly begins to fall asleep herself and begins to dream about pudding.
When she is hit on the head, she wakes up and says that she felt so warm and secure that she ended up drifting off to sleep. She then gets the idea to hug him under the impression that feeling her close to him would make him feel secure and thus lull him to sleep in no time at all. Though, this idea doesn't work in the least. Neptune assumes that his heart is beating really fast and that's why he can't sleep.
For her next idea, she suggests that he hug her instead as if he's hugging a pillow, but forbids touching her anywhere weird. Eventually he stops hugging her, believing that it's like embracing a kid and it feels wrong somehow. This upsets Neptune and she decides that she has no other choice but to transform into Purple Heart.
Purple Heart comments on how docile he's suddenly become now that she's in her goddess form and wonders what would happen if she hugged him. She comments on how he still feels warm even when she's transformed, but now that she's in goddess form she can feel his warmth multiple times compared to her small body in human form. She says that she's only doing this for him because he's special.
He asks for her to release him but you because now he can't sleep due to his heart beating. Instead she says that now that she's gotten into the mood she has no intention of letting him go and wants to hug him all night, forever and ever. After he falls asleep for a few minutes, Neptune reverts to human form and begins saying "Boing, boing, like a kangaroo" over and over again and says that she told him she had no intention of letting him sleep that night.

Fairy Fencer FEdit
In Fairy Fencer F, Neptune makes an appearance as a DLC accessory for Fang, the protagonist of the game. The accessory is Neptune has a plush-toy clinging to Fang's arm.
Creation and DevelopmentEdit
In an interview with the character artist for the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, Tsunako, it is revealed that Neptune was never intended to be the main character. Tsunako was working with a different name and concept with Noire serving as main protagonist and the three heroines being Noire, Blanc, and Vert. She was asked to draw a few other character samples and one which was very well received was Neptune's original look. This lead to the creation of Neptune as a new main protagonist.
Neptune's original look was drawn with the idea of the Roman god Neptune, the king of the sea that is her namesake. Blue was the key color, and according to Tsunako the look gives a mysterious impression.
Purple Heart's Next FormEdit
Tsunako comments that during the development, the attire Purple Heart wears in Next Form became a suit depicts the evolution of the next generation, and an image of growth. A "V"-like symbol was used for the lines of the neck and the buttocks.It became a feeling of a splendid black brightened by purple, and when it was assimilated in the hair, it could also be called the motif of the planet Neptune itself.
She states that she has used light blue as luminescent color before, but this time this has been taken over, blending the pink hue of the clear area with a luminescent blue which gives the feeling of everything being purple at first glance. [1] The hairstyle changed by having a polarized color and by unwinding the braid from the middle. Tsunako says it took her in total approximately half a year to come up with the design, including the preparatory work on the Next Form itself, temporarily stopping work to restart from scratch, while working on other projects at the same time.[2]
Neptune's name is derived from the never released Sega Neptune that was a two-in-one Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega 32X console that Sega planned to make.
- Neptune's personality in the localized version of the games and the original Japanese version of the games are quite different. While the localized version portrays her as silly and somewhat hip girl with a weird way of speaking, The Japanese version portrays her as somewhat spunkier girl who acts silly most of the time but can also be serious. It can be said that her personality in the localized version of the series is a highly exaggerated version of her original Japanese counterpart.
- Neptune is not the personification of the Sega Neptune, her name is simply reference to it. She is the personification of a Fictious Sega Console. This could be why her console is referred to as "Fictitious Hard" (Hard being short for Hardware) by the creators.
- Hyperdimension Neptunia's creator favorite character is Neptune, due to her being "energetic and bright to the point of idiocy". Even in the darkest situations, she still makes happy and positive comments.
- The DLC costume Smile Spiral from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is a reference to the song called Smile Spiral that Neptune and Nepgear sing on the Hyperdimension Neptunia Duet Sisters Vol.1 CD. another thing to be noted is that the song Smile Spiral also appears in the Japanese idol DLC cutscene in the Japanese version of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, where Neptune and Nepgear sing Smile Spiral.
- In Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, it is revealed Neptune doesn't like eggplants. The reason as to why is, according to Neptune, because they turn your eyes purple, even though Neptune's eyes are already purple. This strange phobia affects Neptune to the point that it can be used as a sort of kryptonite, and has been done so by Arfoire. However, if the eggplant is modified in some way so it no longer resembles an eggplant (like being extremely enlarged), Neptune won't be phased by it.
- Up until a certain part of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, Neptune didn't know what her HDD form looked like. This is mostly because said form is only used for battle and Neptune states she isn't the type to transform and just stare at mirror, saying Noire's more likely to do that. Though strangely enough, there is proof that Neptune knew what she looked like in HDD. The very beginning of the game has Neptune rewatching an old music video starring herself (and Nepgear) in HDD. But, it can easily be justified by saying that Neptune simply forgot, like she did with Arfoire earlier in the game, or she only pretended not to know as, when she saw a copy of HDD form, she proceeded to call the copy a very stylish and hip stranger.
- In a popularity poll, Neptune earned the spot of second space. First went to Noire, a fact that was referenced and made fun of in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory where Neptune, upon hearing of Noire's fandom, is immediately overcome with jealousy and begins calling Noire "Popular Heart" in a mocking way.
- In the first Hyperdimension Neptunia, when using Neptune Break, occasionally Neptune can be heard saying "up up down down left right" more than half of the "Konami Code" but then realizing she has no use for it, and she stops.
- Out of the original four Goddesses, Neptune was the only one that didn't have a color-themed name.
- In Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, episode 7 of the anime, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, Neptune's favorite food is said to be custard pudding.
- In the first Hyperdimension Neptunia, Neptune references one of Optimus Prime's Catch Phrases, when she says "Transform!" and "Roll out!"
- In the first Hyperdimension Neptunia, when Neptune enters a battle sometimes she will reference Sailor Moon, when she says "Pretty Mysterious Neptune of Love and Justice! In the name of the Basilicom, I'll punish you!"

I have made these beautiful and tasty crostini's at lease two dozen times and they never disappoint.Such a beautiful presentation. Use good quality salmon and it is best if you do not toast the bread ahead of time.The combo of goat cheese and fennel is wonderfully paired.
Made these for husband's 50th birthday. They went VERY quickly. Love the fact that you can prepare the spread the day before so are really easy and quick to assemble last minute if necessary.
Delicious and so simple to make! The fennel added such a wonderful depth to the appetizer and using good quality smoked salmon is definitely important. I added a little drizzle of olive oil and a little extra black pepper after topping the salmon. Overall we loved it!
This is a sure hit and very easy to make. I have made it a dozen times and gets ohs and aahs from my dinner guests. It makes a nice bring along for a pot luck dinner. It is delicious!
I've made this for two events now and everyone loved it...including me! The tarragon is delicious with the smoked salmon and goat cheese. I don't recommend using lox...it's not as good as whole smoked salmon.
I've made these for parties several times, and they always disappear quite quickly. The key is getting the really good salmon.
I made this for a Pinot Noir tasting party and this dish went perfectly with the wine. It was a big hit and I ended up making seconds and thirds!


text: An owner of a custom casket shop in Kenner says he's received letters from the NFL and Saints telling him to stop selling a black and gold casket with the Fleur de Lis symbol. 'Til We Meet Again' owner Jonathan LaHatte says the 'Who Dat' casket has been in the front of his store window since he opened in October. "They haven't seemed to have a problem with it for four months. I'm not sure why all of a sudden it's an issue when it's been prominently displayed in my front window, on Facebook, and on television since December too," LaHatte explained. LaHatte said the first letter he received from the Saints and the NFL said that the Fleur de Lis symbol on the casket created trademark issues. So the store owner had the coffin's symbol redesigned and thought the design changes made it ok for him to sell the item. "I'm a Saints fan, regardless of what happens. You know, I love watching team and the games. This has nothing to do with the players or coaching staff. This is, I feel... an issue with the front office and/or the NFL trying to squeeze every penny out of everything they can." In an email, Saints senior vice president of communications, Greg Bensel says their letter asked for the store's attorney to "sit down and discuss the matter." LaHatte calls it a cease and desist letter, but still plans on selling the 'Who Dat' casket. "It's a popular seller. I mean... I've had other ones that have sold more, but it's not like the NFL is going to make millions of dollars off of me, if they went after me."

I bought the Nikon L16 from Argos at a discounted price about £52 about two years ago. I checked the reviews out first and thought great, this is for me. Previously I owned camera's where I had to get the film developed and printed and then store hundreds of photos' in albums never to be looked at again. In two years I have took several movies and hundreds of pictures and deleted hundreds as well. They have all been uploaded to my pc, some onto YouTube. No albums involved.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by MJ1000 Pleasant Stay at Singapore Intercontinental
A recent stay at the Singapore Intercontinental revealed the hotel to be a good choice for Business stays.
The Ambassador program is good value, and club amenities excellent for time outs, refreshes and catching up, not to mention excellent access to the small meeting room, which our team used to good effect!
Food/drinks/service is excellent, and the gym is adequate for the purpose of getting the blood flowing. Will use the pool and spa next time around.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by OHS1951 Holding money from visa card, refunding is still pending after 10 days from check out
This is a problem that I think is a financial management point of view, not the front desk or the first line accountants.
I decided on my next visit to Singapore in June-2015 not to use this hotel, I hate it when your money (other than what you are contracted to pay), is not refunded. Refund should be done no longer than 3 working days, in Russia at an electronic store I returned some items I purchased, the refund was done while I was in the store. Same in Australia.
Sorry I loved the hotel, but don't like this financial decisions of hold money and worse not returning for 10 days so far.
In many hotels when you check out, they send someone to check the mini bar and make sure the bathrobes and towels are counted for, and it is over.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by YvonneSG Small hiccups at first but otherwise great
I'd booked this as a personal Christmas treat. Before I checked in, I called to ask if I was able to check in an hour earlier but was not impressed by the manners of the operator. However, after sending my feedback to a supervisor, the operator sent me a written apology. I don't really know what to think, but I appreciate the effort to make amends nonetheless.
I like big rooms and was pleasantly surprised by Room #1509 (Level 15). This room may seem a bit old but the size was great. Plus I quite like having my own pillared foyer.
The bathroom was nothing to shout about, but it was very clean - as you'd expect from the Intercontinental brand. The king-sized bed was very comfortable and I was glad to have a view (odd numbered rooms have better views). I got some some fruits as a token of apology for the earlier hiccups with my check-in request. As it was Christmas Eve, the hotel sent some complimentary chocolates from the pastry kitchen too. I like chocolates :)
Breakfast was served at the Olive Tree restaurant. Everything tasted alright and I like the muesli served in pretty little jars. However, steer clear of the Malay noodle soup. It was tasteless. I pushed it away after just one taste.
After breakfast, I thought I'd check out the swimming pool. Um... let's just say it was not worth a bother. Small, crowded and noisy. Instead I went back to my room, filled up a bath and had a peaceful and relaxing bubble bath.
Finally, I would like to thank the hotel staff for retrieving my blouse and skirt, which I'd absentmindedly left in the wardrobe. Really appreciate that. Overall, I am happy with the service and comfort level of The Intercontinental, and would recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

A new nuclear research center is planned. A religious police chief stirs controversy over gender mixing. A woman wins over $800,000 (and gets death threats) for a poem slamming clerics. US businesses are keen on investing in Saudi, but not ConocoPhillips. Plus, will a Lebanese psychic sentences to death for witchcraft keep his head?
Top News: Saudi Arabia announced its intent to launch a new nuclear energy research center. That may not seem like worrying news, except that it comes in the context of Saudi fears that Iran is intent on acquiring a nuclear weapons capability. While not meant for military purposes, the King Abdullah City of Atomic and Renewable Energy is a signal that the kingdom is watching the Iranian situation very closely. The government does not want a nuclear arms race in the Gulf. But it could not easily accept a nuclear-armed Iran without at least trying to acquire the same capability.
A United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights visited the kingdom for the first time. Navi Pillay met King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz on her mid-April stay, during which she called for more rights for the country's 8 million migrant workers and for elimination of the male guardianship system over Saudi women. She also met other officials, but had no known meetings with ordinary Saudis or human rights activists. Pillay then visited the five other countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates).
The head of the Saudi religious police's branch in the holy city of Mecca, Sheikh Ahmed al Ghamdi, denied rumors that he'd been arrested April 29 for continuing to say that Islam permits men and women to mix in public places like schools and offices. There's been a great deal of confusion about whether al Ghamdi is going to keep his job or not ever since he sparked a long-running public debate among Saudi clerics over the religious base of the kingdom's strict gender segregation. It's an unprecedented development, and many Saudis are hoping for a relaxation of the customary gender segregation that is the rule in public places. The discussion has included an extremist fatwa recommending death for anyone allowing men and women to mix.
Those are the kinds of fatwas that Hissa Hilal denounces in her poetry. Hilal, 43, a Saudi homemaker and mother of four in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, had her fifteen minutes of fame when she became a finalist in a televised Arab poetry contest with a poem attacking religious rulings, or fatwas, from extremist clerics who want to keep women silenced. Wearing the niqab, or face veil, Hilal used her poetic talents to condemn clerics "who sit in the position of power" and are "frightening" people with fatwas. Her poems also brought her death threats on ultraconservative Islamic websites. In the end, Hilal won third place in the competition, which is known as The Million's Poet and takes place in nearby Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates. That means Hilal went home with U.S. $816,760. And she doesn't have to worry about giving a third of it to her government, as there is no income tax in Saudi Arabia.
The reckless, high-speed driving habits of Saudis were put under the spotlight with the release April 21 of new government statistics indicating that around 6,000 people die and 275,000 are injured every year on Saudi highways. It is one of the highest automobile accident fatality rates in the world.
Money: The U.S. oil company ConocoPhillips announced April 21 that is pulling out of a project to build a huge refinery in partnership with the Saudi state oil company Aramco. Conoco said the project is not in line with its long-term strategy of reducing refinery operations.
But pullback is not what many other U.S. companies have in mind for operations in the oil-rich Gulf kingdom. According to some press reports, more than 1,000 people attended the Saudi-American Business Opportunity Forum in Chicago in late April. Keynote speeches were given by Saudi ambassador to Washington Adel Al-Jubeir and U.S. Ambassador to Riyadh James B. Smith. The Saudi government is on a massive capital and infrastructure spending spree and for foreign firms, there's money to be made.
Elsewhere: Saudi Arabia has developed its own niche in the medical world: Its surgeons have separated more than 25 conjoined twins from around the world, most brought to the kingdom on all-expenses paid visits by the government. Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeah, a surgeon, usually leads the operations, as he did April 29, successfully separating two boys in a seven-hour operation televised live in the infants' native Jordan.
A Lebanese psychic who had his own television program in Beirut and who was popular among viewers from Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, has been on the kingdom's death row since last November when he was convicted of practicing witchcraft. Ali Sibat was arrested while on a visit to Mecca in 2008. But there are hopes now that he won't be executed. On April 21, his lawyer in Lebanon told the Associated Press that she had been informed that the Saudi authorities will not carry out the sentence. Witchcraft, magic, sorcery and astrology are illegal in Saudi Arabia, which is governed by Islamic law, or sharia.

Students at Fast Track High Performance Driving School don't need to prove that they can parallel park—they're more concerned about taking a turn at more than 100 miles per hour. Most of them have never even felt the rumble of a 600-horsepower engine before. After plenty of safety debriefing from expert instructors, however, they usually are no longer intimidated by its purr. They'll then hop into the vibrant shell of an ARCA-style stock car, a former racing vehicle that's still capable of rocketing down the track at a blur-inducing speed of 165 miles per hour.
Since 1989, the school has been fulfilling speed-demon fantasies with its courses and ride alongs at racetracks throughout the country. The staff meets with everyday fans and aspiring competitors alike to cover racing protocol, safety, and appropriate postrace dance moves. Depending on the depth of their lesson, pupils might take the wheel during a four-car passing exercise or simply sit back in the passenger seat as a professional flies through three–five laps.
Designed by U.S. Special Forces and reality-show veterans, The Dirty Hog's mud runs⎯held throughout the U.S. and Canada⎯promote teamwork and tenacity on untimed 9- to 12-mile treks through mudslicks peppered with obstacle-laden checkpoints. Participants shape their destiny at multiple checkpoint challenges, with each success potentially shortening the trek ahead and each failure earning burdens such as sacks of pig feed or a piglet that must be raised to maturity. As alternatives to the full course, a shortened, 5-kilometer option enables exertion on a smaller scale, and a half-mile piglet run grants children a chance to delve into the mud. The surpassing of tests earns mud navigators colored bracelets that are tradable for beer, hearty pork fare, and other delights at a free after party awash in live music and celebratory grunts from Lola, the event's mascot boar. Teams cry out victory chants as solo entrants compliment each other on mud stains in the shape of Herbert Hoover's silhouette.
Since 2005, the award-winning Cypress Bend Vineyards has harnessed the rich flavors and antioxidants found in the muscadine grape. The wonder fruit has resulted in the creation of wine varietals including 13 Muscadine, one Cabernet Franc, and one Malbec. Cypress Bend's winemaker leads tours through the vineyards to detail each step of this process, from grape plucking and fermentation to monitoring each grape's 401K as it ages. The flourishing soil also plays home to live events throughout the year, such as Friday-night jazz or beach music concerts.
At the Color the Fight 5K, colored powder rains down on participants as they jog toward the finish line, brightening their clothes. The event is more than a run, though?participants also dance to live music, and kids frolic on playground equipment throughout the park. Staged at the 212-acre Jackson Park, runners do not so much take joy in their race times, but in the entire experience with friends and family.

This is a sad news. Nigerian female singer Goldie is dead. She died this evening at Reddington Hospital in Victoria Island. We don't really know the cause of her death, but trying to get information on what killed her. It will be recalled that Goldie attended the just concluded Grammy Awards in US before returning home.

UPDATE: A lot of youths are presently at Reddington Hospital and security men are trying to control the crowd.
A member of Kennis music record label said she might have died of Pneumonia- An inflammatory condition of the lung—affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli.

Rising costs 'devastating' to those with low incomes, on welfare
Niagara has a lot to be proud of when it comes to culinary talent.
Chefs across the region have been racking up awards, proving that the area can not only complete on an international level, it can win. Others, like Anna Olson and Jason Parsons, have introduced the Niagara culinary scene to TV audiences across the country through shows and recurring guest appearances. Now, there's a new movement within the culinary scene aiming to get Niagara residents as excited about the local talent as those doling out the awards and tuning in on TV.
Chef Adam Hynam-Smith has been doing just that. Alongside his Canadian fiancee Tamara Jensen, the Australian native launched El Gastronomo Vagabundo, one of Ontario's most well-known food trucks. It's been featured in an episode of Eat Street, and has gained prominence through top billing at many food truck related events, like Food Truck Eats festivals around Toronto. His premise for success is simple: express his interests as a chef through his menu.
"I'm not one to cater to people's needs and wants," he said of his menu choices. "I like to test people. I want people to get past saying 'no' all of the time."
Hynam-Smith said there are a lot of chefs in the area doing great things and he'd like see them work together to put Niagara on the culinary map.
"I'd love to see so much more attention on the region for its chefs, region and bounty," he said. "We need to work together so people get to see what's on and know the people in region are supporting what's happening here, too."
Events like the soon-to-be-launched CounterCulture Supper Club at Balzac's Coffee Roasters will help, he said. Hynam-Smith will step out of the food truck and behind the counter of the Niagara-on-the-Lake cafe for the inaugural event set to take place this Friday, Nov. 16.
"My menu is basically me showing off a little bit. I want people to see past the fact that I cook in a food truck," he said, adding that before he moved to Niagara he had spent years working in top-quality restaurants in different parts of the world.
With two dinner seatings, one from 5-7 p.m. and another from 7-9 p.m., the new dinner series, set to take place each Friday with a new chef at the helm, will see the charming Old Town cafe transformed into a supper club featuring Niagara's great talents, including chefs, winemakers, brewmasters, musicians and people.
Lauren O'Malley Norris, under the umbrella name Gathering Niagara, is the woman behind the new series. She previously organized the popular SupperMarket series this past summer at the farmers' market in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Based on the success of the SupperMarket and further anecdotal evidence, i.e. chatting with friends and neighbours, it's clear there's a demand for fresh thinking when it comes to food," she said. "People want fun events that deliver gourmet food and a chance to spend some time with each other. And why in Niagara? I don't really know many other places with the breadth and diversity of talents we have in this one magical spot."
O'Malley Norris said she's developed great relationships with many local chefs over her years in Niagara and has incredible respect for all they do. For the CounterCulture Supper Club, she plans on giving preference to chefs who don't have currently have a bricks and mortar restaurant of their own.
"I'm looking at food trucks, as well as caterers," she said. "I am talking with restaurant chefs as well, but asking them to make these events a real departure from their current offerings. I am also asking chefs to consider lots of ethnic diversity: Bring on the Thai, the Moroccan, the Korean and Ethiopian foods! Take us places!"
The whole goal, she said, is to create community and showcase the great talents of Niagara.
Diners will pay $5 per person for a "supper club" card for each event. The cards can also be used in the community at Balzac's, Bee Modern Fabric & Yarn, Ciutadella Gallery and Simpson's Apothecary and Pharmacy for discounts throughout the week.
Once inside, diners will be able to purchase their meal from the chef at the counter. Menu items will be $15 or less. Each week, notes O'Malley Norris, there will be a vegetarian option available. Wine from Riverview Cellars Winery and beer from The Silversmith Brewing Company will be available by the glass.
Because there are only the two seatings, O'Malley Norris notes reservations are strongly recommended as seating is limited.
The Nov. 23 event will feature Mike Langley and Katrina Steeves of The Tide and Vine Oyster Company.
To reserve or for more information visit www.gatheringniagara.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hynam-Smith will also be featured as one of the chef consultants on the new Food Network TV show Restaurant Takeover, his episodes are set to debut on Nov. 22.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm researching Magento as a possible solution for a client, but they have a situation I haven't run across before…
Basically, they want several substores that all use the same set of products - so create the product list in a main store and display all products in all stores. (It might be nice to disable products on a store-by-store basis.) Each store can set it own prices (above a min set globally). This could be done a few ways: % increase across the board or on a product by product basis. Stores are managed by separate admins. Each admin gets a % commission. Figuring out commissions isn't terribly important but would be nice for each admin to be able to keep track.
Any suggestions on how to set this up in Magento if it's possible at all? Thanks in advance! Tom

On Oct. 18, Camillus Middle School Science Teacher Suzanne Potrikus brought her classes to Nine-Mile Creek to learn about the biology and chemistry of the water. Mathew Webber of Project Watershed helped conduct the classes. Two classes collected data as to the chemical nature of the stream. They were able to run tests to see the pH level and the oxygen level available to support life. Weber used sophisticated equipment to test and explain the phosphate, nitrate, fecal coliform, chloride, turbidity, and total dissolved solids levels in the water.
The values of all these tests were compared to determine that Nine Mile stream at this particular location is in good to excellent condition to support life.
Three classes were knee deep in the stream dredging the water for macroinvertebrates and collecting biological data from the stream. The species collected were sorted into categories to determine population. Upon inspection, the students found a great diversity in the types of organisms inhabiting the stream, supporting that this body of water is a site in excellent condition to support life.

Dubai's PR machine has more work to do
An article published in the UK claims Dubai has double standards
January 17, 2010 1:14 by kippreport
One of our colleagues forwarded us an article about Dubai's seedy nightlife titled Sordid Arabia published in the News of the World. The author accuses Dubai of being hypocritical when it comes to the emirate's moral code. He writes: "In the heart of the Middle East resort where a young engaged British couple were jailed for sex outside marriage we found the law turning a blind eye to Arab locals bedding an army of PROSTITUTES."
The paper published a 1.08 minute video featuring Gulf Arab men cradling alcoholic beverages in a nightclub. It's a scene many Dubai journalists have seen in throughout the emirate, but failed to report it for fear of being deported (and because our editors are scared to death of the subject, but we'll leave that battle for another blog).
Kipp was a little taken aback to see that the faces of numerous men were clearly visible in the video. We doubt they'd file charges against the paper, as that would be an admission that they were actually there, but the News of the World took a risk publishing it.
The article doesn't help Dubai's ploy to portray itself as a fair and open society. Indeed, if an unmarried British couple is going to be jailed because they slept together, surely the hundreds of bars in Deira and Bur Dubai should be raided, and the prostitutes that roam around Bur Dubai should be arrested. A little consistency would be nice.
Kipp is curious to see how the emirate will handle the accusation that it is being hypocritical in its application of the law. Who knows, it might not react at all.

Not sure what that will achieve, except drive the drinking and prostitution underground.
The fact is that the couple admitted to having sex while unmarried, and thus confirmed they broke the law.
Without catching a person in flagrante delicto with a prostitute you cannot prosecute them; and they are hardly likely to volunteer a confession that they slept with her (or him).
Being seen in a bar in compromising circumstances is a long way from proof of intent, let alone commission of an offence.
What a joke! Dubai is famous for prostitution and drinking. In USA of-course drinking is common, but prostitution is hard to find. It is not as easy as I had seen it on my visits. When traveling to Pakistan I have to
hide my alcohalic beverages in the suitcases and also bribe customs
sometimes to have my liquor. I guess money can buy anything in so-called
muslim societies. Dubai is not any different. They are little less hypocates
than Saudia, Iran, Pakistan, Abu-Dhabi etc.
My muslim friends in Houston will drink alcohal like fish, sleep with any
female regardless of size and age, but will never touch/smell/eat any
pork products, and if you say anything against virtues of Islam, they are
the first ones to pack you to hell.Mansoor

I surprised my boyfriend with an overnight stay and cheese making class at Flint Hill for his birthday. The owner was very nice and accommodating and we had a wonderful farm experience along with the cheese making class. The accomodations were very nice, clean, and the fireplaces inside the home are a nice touch.

Just got back from a weekend at Flint Hill. We had a wonderful time tending to the animals, milking cows and goats, collecting and washing chicken eggs, and making mozzarella and cheddar cheese! The farm house was warm and cozy, and Kathy was a wonderful host. We awakened to a great breakfast every morning, and then went outside and shared in the farming chores. We learned so much from Kathy, Bruce, Rebecca, Mike, and Theresa who were all farming experts and could answer all of our questions. It was a life-changing experience and we left feeling quite connected to the people and animals at Flint Hill.

Great place to visit to see the farm in action, play with animals, see milking, help collect eggs etc. very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The host is fantastic.

We were immediately welcomed to be an active part if the animal farming operation: milking cows and goats, feeding animals, gathering eggs. Plenty of time to relax and participate as we wanted. Staff is really available to educate, answering questions and doing extra things to make the stay fun and educational. I recommend bringing a packed lunch/dinner unless you want to drive out to a nearby town to eat out. Be prepared to get dirty and be outside. Our 4 AnD 1 1/2 year led loved it.

If you want a clean room to sleep in and updated bathroom...this is the place for you. If you want a bug free, web free barn, and beautiful green pastures...this is not the place for you. For heaven's sake this is a REAL farm. We had a blast. My grandson worked 12 hour days doing his chores. Feeding all the animals, milking the goats, hey, he wouldn't even stop to eat dinner, at 7 PM, because he wasn't done milking. Not only did he learn the magic and importance of a farm, he now wants to be a farmer. AND when we got home he asked his suburban parents for chores. It's been two weeks since our two night farm stay and he is still talking about. Did I mention that he is only 4? Well done Nana! Thank you Farmer Kathy and farmhand Bridget for an extraordinary experience.

I stayed in the RV during a recent visit to PA. The farm is gorgeous and peaceful and filled with animals of every kind. Everyone is very friendly and Kathy, the hostess, went WAY out of her way to ensure that I had a good experience. The breakfasts are phenomenal. Very unique experience, good value, and I will be back soon!
3,4 en diciembre 14, 2013
We had a great time doing real farm work and interacting with the animals. Very interactive and genuine experience. Great for kids. Yummy farm breakfast made from eggs we gathered that morning.

We had a wonderful weekend at Flint hill farm. If you are just looking for a B&B I'm sure there are better once out there but if you are looking to experience life on the farm, this is totally the right place. Our 3 y/o assisted with milking cows and goats, gathering and feeding the horses, taking care of a newborn calf , collecting eggs and more. Kathy the owner and the entire staff were were extremely pleasant and hospitable. We are definitely coming back.
4,8 en septiembre 01, 2013
Our stay at the Flint Hill Inn will not soon be forgotten. We were thoroughly impressed with the picturesque country setting and fell in love with the genuine hospitality. You are encouraged to walk the farm and take in all that the many acres has to offer. It is truly an experience. We had a great time interacting with the horses, cows, ducks, lambs, and farm cats. This was a much better choice than a chain hotel. I would definitely recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a country-setting getaway. And their homemade cheeses are superb!
2,6 en agosto 22, 2013
The farm is big and if you have kids it's a great way for them to get in touch with lots of animals. We fed the goats and chickens, collected eggs each day, they went on a pony ride, played with the cats and rabbit, we took a walk in the forest and picked wild berries, they made fresh yogurt and smoothies. The only problem i had is that there was a lot of cat's hair in the house, in the bedrooms, living room, kitchen, everywhere, which made it very hard for me to relax. Other than that it's a great location, there is a cave 10 minutes away from the town and Crayola Experience half an hour away.

Terry Pluto interviews himself about the Browns
This is a pretty funny article. You know it's getting bad by the lake when the reports are having a question and answer with themselves and printing it in the newspaper.
Season weeks away, but Browns' losses piling up By Terry Pluto Talkin' to myself about the Browns... Q: Is it healthy to talk to yourself about a football team? A: The Browns would make any sane person talk to himself. Q: Meaning? A: Meaning here's a fan base just waiting for a reason to cheer. They finally get a GM/coach situation that can work and has a clue of what it takes to win -- and this! Q: This? A: They trade Lee Suggs to the New York Jets, only the Jets say he failed their physical. Granted, Suggs can pull a muscle or bruise a knee just by waking up in the morning and yawning real big. But the Browns say that Suggs is absolutely, positively healthy. That he has not missed a practice this summer or in any of the minicamps. He ran hard (and fairly well) in Thursday's exhibition game. Q: So even when Suggs is healthy, he's hurt? A: Apparently that's what the Jets think. Q: Do things like this happen often? A: Just follow this team for a few years and you'll be ready to lie down on a sofa and start mumbling about The Drive, The Fumble, The Move and assorted physical maladies found only in the back of the most advanced medical dictionaries. Q: Now you sound like the ``woe is me'' attitude that General Manager Phil Savage says has infected Browns fans. A: This team hasn't even played two exhibition games, and Ross (not Ryan) Tucker is the starting center. He was a backup interior lineman fighting to make the team in New England, and he starts here. He starts because LeCharles Bentley turned one way, his knee went another, and down for the season went the Pro Bowl center. No one even hit him hard! Ross Tucker starts because Bob Hallen was either too hurt, too discouraged, or for whatever reason, didn't want to play. Q: Didn't the Browns do their homework on these guys? A: Bentley missed two games in the last two years. Hallen not only passed the Browns' physical, but physicals for other teams that considered him as a free agent. He played nine games last season, no serious injuries. Q: Are you saying... A: I'm not even close to being finished. Last year, they signed Gary Baxter, a talented cornerback. In three years, he missed ZERO games in Baltimore. He came to the Browns, and missed the 2005 opener with a concussion. He played five games, then went down for the rest of the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Missed 11 games last year. Q: So you mean... A: Just shut up. I'm still venting. This year, Baxter ``tweaked'' his knee in camp. When you hear the word ``tweaked,'' think ``amputation.'' Nothing with the Browns is ever ``tweaked.'' It's spindled and mutilated. Q: Are you done yet? A: I'm just getting started. Baxter wasn't supposed to play in the preseason opener last week, but did -- for a few minutes. He pulled the other pectoral muscle and is out for a few weeks. He's 27 years old! Why do I have to keep writing the words PECTORAL MUSCLE? Why do I think I need to go to medical school to cover the Browns? Q: You're just making too much... A: Too much? TOO MUCH?! I'll tell you what is too much. LeCharles Bentley is 27 years old! Guys like Bentley and Baxter are supposed to be in their primes. When they play somewhere else, you can run them over with a Hummer and they bounce back up. They come to Berea, a fan sneezes and the next thing you know, a player needs X-rays. They have a priest standing by in case they need someone ready to administer the last rites. Q: It's not that bad... A: Not that bad? I'll give you bad! Solid right tackle Ryan Tucker (knee) is out at least for a few more weeks. So is dependable cornerback Daylon McCutcheon, another knee problem. I asked a member of the Browns front office about a kid named Isaac Sowells, their fourth-round draft choice. I got a dissertation about high ankle sprains. He got one a few weeks ago, and he's out for a few more weeks. Which brings me to Rob Smith... Q: Who? A: The center from Tennessee who sweats so much that some of the quarterbacks kept fumbling the ball. No matter, he's got a high ankle sprain, too. At least that happened in the preseason game. I mean, these guys keep getting hurt, and the Browns don't even have physical practices. I keep fearing that Charlie Frye will be abducted by aliens, or that Kellen Winslow will fall off his tricycle. Q: Don't panic, it's early, they still have nearly a month until the opener. A: That's exactly what I'm afraid of. |
