Right, just go with the $69.95 plan from Page Plus Cellular, and get unlimited talk and messaging and 5GB of data.
Or the $55 plan with 2GB of data.

I just threw away my parallel-port zip drive last year. Didn't work anymore. I also had a Fujitsu or Toshiba Lifebook with a zipdrive option. I loved those things for a while.

1994 (632 comments)
I had a computer science class in high school in 1994 & 1995. We had Apple ][e as I recall, and the coding was done in Basic. Your usual stuff, learning about conditional branching and so forth. Also had typing class.
In 1995 or 1996 I got a dial-up account with Fox Valley Internet for my 486DX which I believe was running OS/2 Warp. Couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with UUCP, Gopher and Usenet (besides the obvious photo-downloading) so I didn't keep it for more than a few months and went back to chatting on the Lunatic Phringe.
I kept trying to give people my email address...I suppose that'd be like giving someone your pager number now. Most people would call up, hear the beeps, get confused and hang up.
Re:impossible question. No ideal carrier exists he (375 comments)
Page Plus Cellular will get you Verizon's native network at much reduced cost. But that depends on whether you care about 4G. If you care about 4G, this won't be an option. Also, the largest amount of data they offer in a monthly plan is 2GB, which is fine for most people, but not if you're a heavy data user via your phone.

AT&T keeps sending my 5-year-old letters offering her really good deals on a UVerse package. I kind of want to have her call in and try to set up an account. I think it would be a fun audio recording.
But, I hate AT&T with a passion, and so I don't ever plan on speaking with them again unless it's unavoidable.
Re:Ignoring political opinions (646 comments)
I think this is feasible, certainly the designs which allow access to the lock release mechanism are a real problem.
The other stuff seems to be mostly a result of the electronic locking design. Most of these use an electromagnet to push or pull a pin into or out of the appropriate spot to keep the bolt from being retracted. These type should never be considered secure if they are mounted, though even then someone with training can defeat them with a rubber mallet and a lot of practice.
But, mostly I would say don't keep your firearms loaded. I don't think most three year olds can rack the slide on a semi-auto, unless the spring is really weak.
Most of all, I would say that if you're going to have firearms, familiarize your children with them the way you would with knives. Most kids don't stab themselves with knives because they're taught to leave them alone. Same logic applies here.
Re:Thank God. (428 comments)
Last week I found a notice posted that my employer is bringing in an H-1B for $115K per year for a three year contract. I think that's significantly more than most of the 10+ year employees on my floor make.
So I sent a question to the floor director asking what skills are needed that we can't fill from the local resource pool at that salary.
Imagine that.
Re:Now if they would only strip the other bloatwar (156 comments)
Oh, but when I sent an email to the CEO to complain, I got a nice call back from a lady who said all that crap is on there because customers want it to be. So, I asked her whether she'd ever read the reviews on the Android Market for the bloatware apps, and that she might notice the reason they're rated low is because people want to be able to uninstall them.
Everybody else who cares should email the CEO as well, and maybe we can get this changed.
Re:It might save Sprint, but... (190 comments)
Let's not go encouraging the FCC to mandate anything. You clearly haven't noticed, but government mandates rarely work out well for the consumer. I'm thinking of, oh, I don't know, the fact that I have to pay $60 for an inhaler now because the old ones used CFCs, and so due to the government mandate to eliminate those, there are now no generic options. That also is the case because of a government mandate.
Having competing standards in the US has only been a good thing for the consumer, in my opinion. And, CDMA is the better technology anyway.
Re:"Adorn"? (160 comments)
Yeah, see adorn is not really the correct word to use here. Or at least it's a very weird use of the word. I go with the thesaurus theory.

June 6, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Incoming Missouri softball freshman Emily Crane has been selected as the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Missouri, as announced Wednesday morning by Gatorade, in collaboration with ESPNHS. Crane is now a finalist for the Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year, to be announced later this month.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Crane as Missouri's best high school softball player. Crane becomes the first softball player from Troy Buchanan High School to be selected for the award.
Crane led her school to a Class 4A state championship this season, as the Trojans finished with a 29-4 record overall. She hit .563 on the year with five home runs, 52 runs scored, 28 runs batted in and 24 stolen bases, while setting the single-season state record for base hits with 63. Crane also graduates as the state record holder for hits (205) and runs scored (168) in a career.
Named the Gateway Athletic Conference South and All-Metro Player of the Year, Crane has also maintained a 3.92 grade point average in the classroom. Additionally, she was a two-time First Team All-State selection during her high school career.
Crane becomes the eighth Mizzou player from the state of Missouri to win this award since it was introduced in 1998, joining senior Nicole Hudson (2009) and recently-graduated pitcher Kristin Nottelmann (2007) as recent winners. Sophomore Kelsi Jones was named Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year in 2011.

Samsung Smart Camera WB350F
Nikon D750
Sony Alpha 6000
Canon PowerShot SX280 HS
starsA new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
Canon was falling a bit behind with its PowerShot Elph series of ultracompact cameras. Not in photo quality, but with features, shooting performance, and overall value. For 2011, though, Canon snapped back thanks to the addition of backside-illuminated CMOS sensors in all of the new Elph models. It even changed the naming system, dropping SD and IS from the products and adding HS. They all take SD cards and have image stabilization so those were no longer necessary, and they now feature Canon's HS System that combines the aforementioned sensor with the Digic 4 image processor to product better low-light photos and faster shooting performance.
The PowerShot Elph 300 HS is the smallest in the current lineup, and overall it's just a really fun pocket camera. Partly because it is so small, but it's also easy to use and works well. It may not have as many features or be as fast as some competing models, but it has plenty to offer and should be fast enough for most users. And if you just want very good photos straight from the camera without leaving Auto, this is probably the ultracompact you want.
Key specs | Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS |
Price (MSRP) | $249.99 |
Dimensions (WHD) | 3.6 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches |
Weight (with battery and media) | 5 ounces |
Megapixels, image sensor size, type | 12 megapixels, 1/2.3-inch backside-illuminated CMOS |
LCD size, resolution/viewfinder | 2.7-inch LCD, 230K dots/None |
Lens (zoom, aperture, focal length) | 5x, f2.7-5.9, 24-120mm (35mm equivalent) |
File format (still/video) | JPEG/H.264 (.MOV) |
Highest resolution size (still/video) | 4,000x3,000 pixels/ 1,920x1,080 at 24fps |
Image stabilization type | Optical and digital |
Battery type, CIPA rated life | Li ion rechargeable, 220 shots |
Battery charged in camera | No; wall charger supplied |
Storage media | SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, Eye-Fi SD/SDHC cards |
Bundled software | ZoomBrowser EX 6.7/PhotoStitch 3.1 (Windows); ImageBrowser 6.7/PhotoStitch 3.2 (Mac); Map Utility 1.0 (Windows/Mac) |
The Elph 300 HS produces generally excellent snapshots. Photos do get softer and noisier above ISO 200--typical for point-and-shoots--but ISO 400 and 800 are still very usable. The noise and noise reduction are well balanced so you still get good color and detail at these higher sensitivities. Colors desaturate some at ISO 1,600 and 3,200, subjects look very soft, and detail is greatly diminished. While you might not want to view them at larger sizes or heavily crop them, the high-ISO results should be satisfactory for Web or prints at small sizes.
Compared with a camera with a similar sensor and lens, the Sony Cyber-shot WX9, the Elph 300 HS may have a slight edge. Both drop off in quality at ISO 400. The Sony's noise is slightly better, but its reduction smears details; the Canon is noisier, but it retains more detail. Sony has multishot modes for improving low-light photos and dynamic range, which can get you better results than the Canon, but the 300 HS has better color performance: bright, vivid, and accurate. It really comes down to your needs and expectations and, frankly, how many gee-whiz features you want for your money.
Video quality is on par with a very good HD pocket video camera: good enough for Web use and nondiscriminating TV viewing. The full HD video records at 24fps, and though panning the camera will create judder and there is visible trailing on moving subjects, the video is definitely watchable. Those things are typical of the video from most compact cameras, too. The zoom lens does work while recording; it moves very slowly, though, likely to prevent the movement from being picked up by the stereo mics on top.
General shooting options | Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS |
ISO sensitivity (full resolution) | Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 3,200 |

As discussed here: http://clairvoyance.enjin.com/forums...ewthread/34464 Runes: Quint~ Speed or Magic Pen Red~ Magic Pen (Flat. I don't even think you can get /LVL) Yellow~ HP (I use flat) Blue~ Mana Regen. (Go for /LVL) For Masteries... 9 Into Offensive. This is obvious because you want as much magic pen as possible. 21 into Utility -3 Good Hands -1 Perseverance -4 Awareness -3 Meditation -3 Quickness -1 Blink of an Eye -3 Intelligence -1 Presence of Master You will have to put in 1 point in a tier 3 previous talent. Your choices are Spatial Accuracy, Perseverance, Expanded Mind or Greed. You won't be getting very many buffs until level 13+ and you don't take clarity. You will need another point to get last spell. Choose from Spatial Accuracy, Perseverance, Expanded Mind or Greed again. Spatial Accuracy (If you use tele as an escape ever, get this. It could save you many, many times. I would take this first) Perseverance (Up to two more points you can put into this. It's worth about .08mp/5 and even less hp/5. I don't recommend it at all) Expanded Mind (This will be worth about 25 mana per point. More later in the game. Won't go past 50/point though. You could take it, I guess.) Greed (Well it's worth about a ward or two. Maybe a consumable end game. If you want to cookie cut it, get spacial and this) Overall, take any combo of Spacial, Greed and Expanded Mind. I go for the Spacial/Greed because they are things that give me noticeable bonuses. Now, you are all set. Take Teleport and Flash as your spells. In game, get any degree of starting items you want. Take Doran's and an HP pot if nothing is going to happen and you will lane till six. Take wards and potions if you are dealing with junglers. If you want, try bringing a brilliance and some potions, at level 6 activate the potion and watch heroes you aren't sure will die, die anyways. After that, get sorcerer's boots. You now have 4 -MR things already. Your passive, the masteries, runes and the new item. Work towards a void staff next. Then abysmal. Now is when getting items does not become a priority. You now have 6 -MR. I'll give some numbers later when I can get them. It is a rather high amount. If they don't get any magic resist, you will put them below 0. Now get a brilliance potion and some wards if the enemies are being stealthy. Grab dragon as much as possible and start ganking with your new brilliance potion. When you have a surplus of money, go get... DUN DUN DUN. A SUNFIRE CAPE. Your -MR will help with this and heroes who get no MR will take more than 40DPS. With your ulti you will crack out about 1500 damage. As for skills, max fear then wind. Get ulti at six and drain last. At 6 make sure to get a kill. Stand in bush and ulti, use flash if needed (NOTE: YOU HAVE TWO FLASHES HERE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET TO A HERO. Fear them when you are there. Silence at end of fear). Congrats, that was an easy kill. Do this all game and you will be golden. You will not be able to push, but win team battles easily. Coordinate your team so they can push. You have to take hold of your team if you want to win and make sure they do what's right.
With elixir you can solo golem at lvl 1... And why would you buy an elixir and hold on to it till lvl 6? Might as well start building part of your catalyst then Bluepill and buy the elixir if you really want it for a lvl 6 kill. I find ghost better than flash on fiddle. If you jump from the brush or from the other side of the bushes there is no need for an extra flash. Ghost will allow you to chase them without them getting outside the range of crowstorm.
Huh, interesting guide illumanus, but I have different opinions on a couple of your choices. 1) Max fear is good (yay 3 sec disable), but you'll get total harassment in lane. Fear's range is just a bit small, so you'll constantly be pressured by longer reaching spells. This is more of an opinion though. I find dark wind, fear, drain, then max dark wind is preferable. You can ward people away with fear, regain health with drain, and harass with dark wind back, as well as clear creep waves on front of turrets. 2) I know people stack tons of magic resist against casters these days but, going full on magic pen first? I'd think you'd want an ap item then void staff, or at least a solid ap item after void staff to deal mass damage. Sunfire cape looks strange, but I think I might try it out. Can't really see the logic to clear there. Mass aoe? I think I'd prefer survivability based on team build. Small criticism/opinions. All in all Cool guide.
o.O fiddles can solo golem at level 1 without potions or summoner skills. just need right masteries, rune, and starting item.
Generally, you get AP with void staff and you can get more AP if you want with your brill potions. As for soloing golem, why? Drain is a waste of skill point and you can't do a really efficient gank at 6.
Hiro Vitality
Lol. This is funny. I'd rather not give up my talents and specs for my fiddle, I'd just like to say there are much better ways to play him. And he should have at least one kill before he gets his ult if you're playing right. When he gets his ult I can get double/triple kills, even the occasional quadra kills and Aces with the full team. One quick hint though, if you're good, you wont need flash and it's much better replaced with ignite (Until the new patch of course, then I will test Flash/ignite). It's gotten me kills at lvl 3 with cooldown burns, and the often dumb lvl 1 kills for players who venture too far on my side in the beginning. As well, start with Drain first, not wind. It'll keep you alive, and score some kills as it does much more damage than any other combination of attacks, and you can cast ignite on a target while channeling drain without interrupting the channel.
I have to say drain is probably fiddles most overrated ability. Sure, you could go all gung ho and try getting kills with it in the beginning, but I find two things usually happen. 1) player moves out of range, and you only get about half a seconds worth, and they start attacking you 2) You are hit with a disable and a champion takes you down fast. When early laning, the best use of drain usually consists of healing yourself, getting the golem buff, or ganking attacking champs who solo. Otherwise, drain makes you a standing target if your laning against two champs. For the most part, I'll only put a point into drain if I need health during laning.
I have a similar build, getting a void staff and abyss scept is the way to go since he hardly gets **** from ability power.

How To
Prevent Hunching Over
Perfect your posture"Stand up straight" may be the mantra of mothers everywhere, no matter how old you are. But there's good reason for the nagging: Perfect posture exudes elegance, grace, and a sense of youth. But if you neglect your spine's alignment for too long, you could end up with a permanent hunch. Here's how to keep your back in great shape.
Get your calciumYour parents were onto something when they told you to drink your milk. Calcium strengthens bones and helps prevent osteoporosis. Aim for at least 1,00mg daily. If you're postmenopausal, you'll neeed closer to 1,500 mg a day. Get your daily dose from yogurt (we love Greek yogurt), milk, and cheese.
Rethink your vicesCoffee, alcohol, and cigarettes have all been linked with osteoporosis. Cigarettes have an adverse effect on bone density, and coffee and alcohol are diuretics that suck calcium from the bones.
Hit the yoga matRecent research suggests that yoga is the best way to beat back pain and preserve your posture. Yoga helps maintain bone density in the hips, spine, and wrists. Search for poses that stretch your spine to avoid kyphosis, or hunched back syndrome.
Adjust your seatWhen you're sitting at work, try to lean back occasionally. Sitting at a 135-degree angle can help reduce compression of the discs in the spin. Get the best seat in the house: Make sure your chair supports your lower back and that your head is upright. In the car, sit at a 90-degree angle so you don't have to stretch your legs to reach the pedals, which can wreak havoc on your back. Finally, when lounging on the couch watching TV, make sure you're not hunched over while looking at the screen. It's also a good idea to stretch occasionally. (Yes, that means get off the couch.)

Technology has come to play a major role in medicine, right from diagnosing to treating diseases
No other branch of medicine has leveraged technology the way allopathy has done, claims a youngster, taking on his older counterpart.
AD: Hi, so how's your migraine now? Did you see the doctor?
BC: I did, he's given me some oil and a powder mix that needs to be taken with...
AD: Why didn't you go see an allopathic doctor? What if a scan or some tests have to be done?
BC: I prefer natural medicines — they have no side effects.
AD: Wouldn't it have been better to be diagnosed and treated by a proven branch of medicine that's backed by technology?
BC: Well, natural forms of treatment originated long before allopathy, but are still relevant — doesn't that tell you how effective and well-thought out they are?
AD: Sure, but today, we're afflicted with so many complications — and it takes technology to identify them.
BC: Maybe, but not all ailments need technology...
AD: It's not about using technology in isolation — it's about integrating it with every aspect of medicine. The Western system has intensive research done which is aided by technology, and billions of dollars are spent every year in understanding symptoms and producing medicines.
BC: But after all the diagnosis, it's the pharma companies that dictate the cure, don't they? It's become a money-spinner.
AD: You're deviating — we're talking about the efficacy of the treatment and how technology aids it.
BC: Allopathy has the backing of the Western world and that explains its popularity.
AD: Incidentally, the West has now pioneered an advanced form of laser surgery to remove brain tumour based on a new technology called SRS microscopy that allows them to see the minutest portions of brain tissue. And SRS stands for Stimulated Raman Scattering, named after Sir C V Raman. So there's an Indian influence there as well.
BC: That's an honour to the great man, but it's a fact that in our bid to look for quick relief, we're ignoring our wonderful healing systems.
AD: What about fields like gynaecology and obstetrics? Imagine where we would be if technology didn't result in Doppler ultrasonography or CT scans.
BC: Sure, but for thousands of years before scan centres came up, women have been delivering babies. Since we have the technology, we're trying to make use of it.
AD: Speaking of scans, do you know that the imaging technologies available in operation theatres are now accessible to general physicians too? A handheld device based on a technology called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is now empowering them to...
BC: Sorry, but OCT is all OHT (Overhead Transmission) to me.
AD: And what about robot-assisted surgery? It can pull off the most intricate surgery with precision.
BC: Look into our ancient medical treatises — several complicated surgeries have been recorded. And they were done before modern technology came into existence.
AD: However, remote surgical intervention is a modern concept surely... I read an article about a doctor in New York performing a gallbladder operation on a patient in France. It calls for computers, artificial intelligence and...
BC: All I can say is that we are endowed with a lot of natural intelligence to fall back upon, so...
AD: Isn't it true that a branch of medicine like homeopathy actually gives you the disease-causing substance in small, diluted doses? There have been several questions raised regarding this...
BC: If that's the case, PET — Positron Emission Tomography — scanning involves injecting the patient with a small dose of radioactive material. Would you rather accept that?
AD: Think of it as technology's miracle, because the effects are the same as that of an X-ray. I can continue telling you about how technology has aided remote surgery through the Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or ATM...
BC: The ATM has another big role to play as well...
AD: What's that?
BC: With medical treatment becoming prohibitively expensive, it's the first place every patient will need to visit before he goes to a hospital.
Keywords: BC-AD column, before computers after digital (bc-ad) column, technology, allopathy, medicine and technology

Though it's easy to use and having an extra band can result in higher speeds, the Linksys EA9200 doesn't have enough to justify its over-the-top price tag.
This Newegg exclusive is quick, compact and wireless, with a price that's just plain incredible.

At certain times of the year, various species of fish and shellfish contain poisonous biotoxins, even if well cooked. According to the CDC, it is considered an under-recognized risk for travelers, specifically in the tropics and subtropics.
Certain fish — groupers, barracudas, moray eel, sturgeon, sea bass, red snapper, amberjack, mackerel, parrot fish, surgeonfish, and triggerfish — can cause ciguatera fish poisoning. The CDC recommends never eating moray eel or barracuda. Other types of fish that may contain the toxin at unpredictable times include sea bass and a wide range of tropical reef and warm-water fish.
The risk of ciguatera poisoning exists in all tropical and subtropical waters of the West Indies, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, where these reef fish are eaten.
Two other forms of poisoning can occur from naturally occurring toxins in fish: tetrodotoxin, sometimes called pufferfish poisoning or fugu poisoning, and scombroid poisoning.
Reef fish from the tropical and subtropical waters of the West Indies, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean pose the greatest threat. Cases have been reported in the United States in Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida, and a few isolated cases of ciguatera poisoning have even been noted along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
More than 400 species of fish, particularly reef fish, are thought to contain the toxin for ciguatera poisoning.
Symptoms of ciguatera poisoning generally appear between a few minutes and 6 hours after the toxic fish has been eaten. These include a variety of gastrointestinal, neurological, and cardiovascular abnormalities. The following are the most common symptoms of ciguatera poisoning. However, each individual may experiences symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Watery diarrhea
Numbness and tingling about the mouth and extremities
In more severe cases, the person may suffer muscle pains, dizziness, and sensations of temperature reversal, where hot things seem cold and cold things seem hot. Irregular heart rhythms and low blood pressure may also be experienced. Ciguatera poisoning symptoms typically resolve within several days, but may last up to 4 weeks. The symptoms of ciguatera poisoning may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Treatment for ciguatera poisoning involves relieving the symptoms and treating any complications. Generally, recovery takes from several days to several weeks.
Tetrodotoxin, also called pufferfish poisoning or fugu poisoning, is a much rarer form of fish poisoning, but it is potentially very serious. This is almost exclusively associated with the consumption of the pufferfish from waters of the Indo-Pacific regions, but there have been several reported cases of poisonings, including fatalities, from pufferfish from the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Gulf of California. Pufferfish poisoning is a continuing problem in Japan.
Symptoms generally appear between 20 minutes and 3 hours after eating the poisonous pufferfish. The following are the most common symptoms of pufferfish poisoning. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Numbness of lips and tongue
Numbness of face and extremities
Sensations of lightness or floating
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Slurred speech
Difficulty walking
Extensive muscle weakness
Respiratory distress
Mental impairment
Cardiac arrhythmia
Death can occur within 4 to 6 hours of poisoning, so it is essential to seek immediate medical attention.
Treatment for pufferfish poisoning consists of limiting the body's absorption of the toxin, relieving symptoms, and treating life-threatening complications. There is no known antidote for tetrodotoxin.
Scombrotoxin, also called scombroid poisoning or histamine poisoning, occurs after eating fish that contain high levels of histamine due to improper food handling. It remains one of the most common forms of fish poisoning in the U.S. and worldwide. These fish, which include mahi mahi (dolphin fish), albacore tuna, bluefin and yellowfin tuna, bluefish, mackerel, sardines, anchovy, herring, marlin, amberjack, and abalone, have high amounts of histidine. As a result of inadequate refrigeration or preservation, bacteria convert the histidine to histamine, and this leads to scombroid poisoning.
This form of fish poisoning occurs worldwide in temperate and tropical waters.
Symptoms generally appear within minutes to an hour after eating affected fish. They typically last 3 hours, but can last several days. The following are the most common symptoms of scombroid poisoning. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Tingling or burning sensations in the mouth
Rash on the face and upper body
Drop in blood pressure
Throbbing headache
Hives and itching of skin
The symptoms of scombroid poisoning may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Treatment for scombroid poisoning is generally unnecessary. Symptoms usually resolve within 12 hours and scombroid poisoning is rarely life-threatening. Treatment could include antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine and cimetidine.
Specific treatment for all fish and shellfish poisoning is based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
Your opinion or preference

Our machine paid for itself I 2 years easily.
Ne bimini, dodger, sail cover, cushions. Even just going over the sails every season instead or 300-600 sent to a sail loft will add up quickly.
Advantage of the Sailrite is it can be used if necessary manually and has a suitcase it packs up in so when cruising you can take it for emergency repairs.

Searching For A Disneyland Recipe...!
I am desperately looking for the recipe for Disneyland's Apple Fritters. I have the one for the Monte Cristo Sandwich, but, sadly, have not yet found one for those delicious Apple Fritters that you get at Disneyland's New Orleans Square Mint Julep Bar.
I can find apple fritter recipes online but none are like those served at Disneyland. I thought I would see if, perhaps, anyone here on this forum would be so kind and help me out. I was told, elsewhere online, that if you ask for the recipe for a food item being served at a Disney Park they will give you a recipe card (or tell you where in the park you can go get one....for that item. I am in Alabama so cannot hop over to Disneyland to see it it is possible to get the Apple Fritter recipe card at Disneyland.....Soooooo....anyone on here in California and near Anaheim ...and planning a trip to Disneyland in the near future...?????

I checked two of the three Disney cookbooks we have, and it wasn't in there. I will look in the other one when I find it.
I do know if you want a WDW recipe, you can send an email through the main website, I this it was a "contact us" type option. I would assume Disneyland is the same way, you might try there. It took about 2 weeks to get an answer back, but I did get it. |

"What a waste of time!"
Never have a listened in such wonder that anyone would actually think this is a worthwhile book. It's nice to learn something new or at least be entertained - but this one offers neither, unless you want to hear about doing drugs, stealing gas and cigarettes, having sex with as many women as you can and calling a grand adventure. It was just boring.
"Horrible Narrator"
I couldn't tell you if this was a good book as the narration is so poor I have not been able to get past the first chapter and I couldn't understand the narrator. Where did you find this woman!

The Cornwall region
This south west county enjoys a milder climate than much of England, and consequently Cornwall has long been a popular all year round self catering holiday getaway. The North Cornwall area provides the best surfing in England, with towns like Newquay, Perranporth, Polzeath, St Ives and Bude filling with enthusiasts every year. There is excellent walking on Bodmin Moor, domain of the legendary beast, and the coastline is wild and beautiful. There are scenic towns such as Penzance to explore and delicious Cornish pasties to sample.
Cornwall also has Celtic links and the legend of King Arthur which can be explored at Tintagle's castle. If you fancy something a little more refined, the fishing port of Padstow offers the famous seafood restaurant run by chef Rick Stein.
St Ives
St Ives (Cornish: Porth Ia) is a seaside town, civil parish and port in the Penwith district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town lies north of Penzance, and west of Camborne. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing as an industry.
The decline in fishing, however, has caused a shift in commercial emphasis and the town is now primarily a holiday resort. St Ives was incorporated by Royal charter in 1639. St Ives has been named best seaside town of 2007 by the Guardian and has become renowned for its number of artists.

I was expecting something along this lines but still... way to simple of a final chapter. First 13 pages had so little drawning into them (all black blackground cuz' "mindtalkind" needs no scenary).
A colored front page with a Cameltoe on in .-. yap, great way to start the final chapter of a year long series!.
I would love to keep going on my grampa style rant but meh, no point for it.
As for Claymore as a "pre-quel" for the main story, I've always loved Miria and so far it seems she may be used as a possbile main character should there be a continuation of this world. Can't be pissed about that
Look like Irene's ears is bigger again after many years.
Speaking of Irene, she regrown at least one arm ( the other side is hidden by her cloak ). She's an offensive type and was able to regrow her limb. I guess even offensive type can regrow limbs after 7 years.
We were not aware of that probably because the organization probably discarded warriors who lost limbs by sending them to their deaths.
Edit : Ah nevermind, just re-read that part. Irene says it might take her a few months, but then what about the other arm? I guess she might be scared of releasing her Yoki in the "early" days for fear of getting caught. That, or she's like Galatea and didn't want to heal her wound.
Look like Irene's ears is bigger again after many years.
I have seen the end.
It sucked.
Seriously, was this the typical "we're cancelling your manga, so come up with an ending" rush job (which doesn't excuse it, but at least explains it) or was it the ending the author intended from the start?
Because if it was the latter, he deserves a BOOT TO THE HEAD!
It was always going to end this way. The mainland thing was only to explain the provenance of Yomas and claymores really.
This island had no technology, so how did they create claymores? Also, it's such a small Island, there's no way these big predators would be a native of the place since, if left unchecked, they would of probably ate out the whole place in a matter of years.
Again, the Mainland lore was only to provide a back story on how these creatures came about, nothing more.
I also am not surprised that Irene spared by her hunter. Rafaela was contemplating dying with her awakened sister for a long time and was only a puppet of the organization to die with her sister, she really didn't care about Irene.
As for the two twins giving Miria threat/message... It didn't really matter, I'm sure the dragons are strong and numerous to wipe the floor with the claymores but they pose no threat. A few times the hat guy shown signs of concern for Claire and the others and so I think he let them live because he ultimately cared. I cringed a little because this is another instance in which Miria misjudge the situation, but in this instance it didn't matter.
This was the ending everyone could easily guess was going to happen for at least 30 chapters now.
The only thing that I wonder, I imagine these claymores can't have kids right? It would make sense that the organization would prefer to control their claymores by removing their uterus when they swapped the "organs" during the operation that leads to their transformation.

Seems like two very different types of events. Of course I have not done either event this is just based on interwebknowlege :)
The main difference between Heroes-Legend and most other Rallys is that is uses a 'regularity' system of timing/scoring, rather than the first over the line/fastest one is the winner.
I've explained it in more detail in the dedicated thread/s, but put simply - Heroes was originally designed to allow different classifications of vehicles to compete, including classic 'Dakar' bikes such as early GSs, XTs etc. They used the regularity system to create a handicap, so that slower vehicles/riders were not penalized.
Also, there are 'issues' with running pure speed events over public (ie. non closed) roads/pistes/stages - especially getting insurance. I'm not sure how the Tuareg and events like the Africa Race get away with it, and I won't ask here... Obviously even events like the Dakar and other FIM events which do have 'closed' special stages, are still vulnerable to spectators or members of the public being hurt or killed...
But don't think for a moment the Heroes-Legend isn't competative. Sure there is a Bivouac-Bivouac option which follows the assistance route, but if you are entered in a competitive class, it is every bit as tough as any other rally. You have target times/speeds for the stage, cut-off times, penalties for missing waypoints, and not least the physical endurance of riding thousands of competitive kilometres which can break you or your bike at any time - the roadbook is based on previous year's Dakar stages, and the organisation (not least Anne Marie Gerandi) have been involved with the original African Dakar for years...
Just ask any of the riders who crashed and burned last year how tough it is or it isn't!

Eg Typing in "www.shopjobs.com"
If it's appreciable it means its still sensible to go for keyword.com... Not that you can find them these days...
I personally would not type in something like television.com if I was looking to buy a tv though.
That said- I work with some people who have the bulk of their traffic through type ins- so it can be a viable option for a website although personally I would still work all the other angles of SEO.
Still works well for a lot of keywords, but has become inevitably more commercial now. Information sites can no longer afford to keep the top domains. That's changed over the last 4 or 5 years.
I own a cyber cafe and have observed a startling percentage of people who don't know what the address bar is or how to use it.
Once a man who was a lawyer about 35 who was using the cafe actually told me that you "had to" use yahoo to go to websites.
Yah. He would type in Yahoo.com into the address bar, then type hotmail.com into the Y! search box.

34th Avenue/I-494 InterchangeDiverging diamond interchange removes left turn arrows
Project backgroundOver the next 20 to 25 years, the South Loop District is predicted to accommodate 65 percent of the development growth occurring in the City. The 34th Avenue/I-494 interchange was last reconstructed in 1985 in conjunction with the revamped 494 crossing of the Minnesota River. The intersection was then modified in 2003 to accommodate the very-successful Hiawatha Light Rail (also known as the Blue Line). In 2008, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Bloomington, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission funded a preliminary traffic study to look at the future needs and potential alterations of the interchange. The preliminary study identified the need for reconstruction to accommodate projected traffic in the South Loop District area. Diverging diamond interchangeIn 2010, various intersection alternatives were evaluated resulting in a diverging diamond interchange as the preferred intersection alternative. A DDI simplifies traffic operations at a conventional interchange by removing turning traffic from the signalized ramp intersections. This is accomplished by crossing traffic to the left side of the roadway between the signalized ramps. This allows right and left turn movements to the freeway entrance ramps to occur unopposed and without stopping. Hiawatha light rail transit will continue to run in the center median of 34th Avenue with the DDI configuration. The project is a joint effort between the City of Bloomington, MAC, and MnDOT, with MAC as the lead agency. How is the project funded?The majority of the project is being funded through a Transportation Economic Development (TED) grant that was awarded in 2011. Remaining project costs are being funded by the MAC and City through a cost share agreement. Maps
What is the project schedule?The tentative schedule for this project is:

Located 45 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR). And 10 Minutes from the Local Tamarindo Airport.
Tamarindo is a beautiful beach town that is equally a tropical paradise as well as a multicultural hotspot. Called by Forbes magazine Costa Rica's most popular beach, the town has a mixture of high-end shopping, dining, nightlife opportunities combined with Costa Rican flavor. Locals from Costa Rica, the United States, Germany, Italy, Argentina, France, and other nations, operate international gourmet restaurants, bars, casinos, clothing stores, surf shops, beautiful handicrafts stores, and more. Infrastructure abounds in banks, pharmacies, a post office, internet facilities, supermarkets, doctors, dentist, rental cars, video stores, etc.
Located just inside of town, behind the Tamarindo Diria's private Golf Range, the Tamarindo Airport has nearly hourly flights coming and going from two National airlines: Sansa Airlines and Nature Air. When Robert August filmed a segment about Tamarindo in his Endless Summer movie, Tamarindo became internationally famous for its surfing. And for good reason: There are no less than five world-class surf breaks within driving distance of the center of town. These include: Playa Grande, Playa Avellanas, Playa Negra, Playa Langosta, and of course, Tamarindo itself.
And Tamarindo has been the location for other filming as well. E! Wild On Costa Rica and MTV Real World sent one of its casts down here to learn to surf in the Bay. Locals have recently filmed a movie called Fe De Agua for showing at international film festivals, and the popular soap opera Meine Wunderbare Familie—watched by millions every week—spent two weeks shooting scenes to air in Germany. The blue Pacific also offers itself to sports fishermen, sailors, scuba divers, and snorkelers, while Tamarindo affords tourists a wide variety of tour options including horse riding, estuary tours, ATV tours, canopy tours, and more. There are also two championship golf courses nearby, as well as tennis courts for the so-inclined. Tamarindo Beach is located next to Tamarindo National Wildlife Refuge and and Las Baulas National Park, which encompasses Playa Grande. That is where the Leatherback Turtles nest each year and daily tours are available in season to see our national treasures. In addition, because of the natural habitat of Tamarindo Beach, just a daily walk will allow you to see Howler Monkeys, Iguanas, Parrots, and various wild life at your every step.
There's no better way to experience the Costa Rican culture than to visit one of the typical fiestas that take place in the evenings virtually every week in a town around Playa Tamarindo during the Gold Season between December through May. As a matter of fact, Guanacaste is famous for its spirit-filled typical fiestas with traditional bull riding (corrida de toros) and colorful horse parades (topes) with dancing as well. Merengue, Cumbia, and Salsa are the typical music played at these fiestas, and don't forget to try the various foods like beef and potatoes (picadillo), fried chicken (pollo frito), chicharrones (fried pork), corn on the cob, (elote) and for desert, sugared donut sticks (churros). In town, Tamarindo is known countrywide for its nightlife beginning with a selection of restaurants that reflect its global population. Whether it's Costa Rican, Italian, Sushi, French, Argentinan, Asian Fusion, seafood to gourmet and a scene, or some other style, there's a budget and cuisine here for any savvy palate.
After dinner, hit a casino, or the dance floor at the popular upscale discotheque. If not, there's always a crowd at our local bars, which offer special events every night. The Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort itself hosts fashion shows and concerts at their Amphitheater; check with the Tour Desk for scheduled activities. For a quiet, romantic evening, try a moonlight sail, available by appointment only. And there's no better Tamarindo nightlife than one will find when taking a stroll down the beach basking in the gorgeous glow of the night sky, serenaded by the sounds of nature.

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

Women find niche as Mexican bodyguards
Female bodyguards in Mexico blend in with the crowd while protecting their
TLALNELPANTLA, Mexico -- They are tough protectors in a country facing
tough times and runaway crimes.
The country's first national squad of female bodyguards say they're are
ready to face kidnappers, drug dealers and other tough guys.
Known as ''Las Ateneas,'' these Mexican nikitas have a clientele that
include businesswomen, bankers, politicians and their families and local
telenovela actresses.
Named after the Greek Goddess of War, Las Ateneas are a group of 20
Mexican police women, all mothers, between ages 20 and 40, highly
trained in self defense and disarming techniques.
The idea is to ''capitalize in the female squad's ability to blend in,''
said Ana Isabel Lopez Castro, marketing manager at Cusaem, the Auxiliary
Security Forces from the state of Mexico, where the squad trains.
''Female and male bodyguards have the same skills, but male bodyguards
will always stand out [in a crowd],'' she said.
Cusaem is a branch of Mexico's Federal State Security Agency. Founded 60

The number of companies that require IT security certification increased
from 2006 to 2008, according to a recent study by the Computing
Technology Industry Association.
Thirty-two percent of companies reported requiring IT security
certification last year, compared to just 20% in 2006, CompTIA said. The
group's Seventh Annual IT Security Trends in the Workforce study,
published last week, found that 87% of respondents believe that security
improves with training for non-IT employees by increasing awareness and
risk identification.
Hugo Lueders, a public policy director with CompTIA said that the report
shows that companies "are finally taking training seriously.
"Most respondents feel that IT security certification for IT staff
improves security, especially through risk identification and quick
response to security issues," he said in a statement released Tuesday.
"Many organizations have made significant progress in dealing with
security issues, but the number and types of threats have increased in
step." Lueders said that many of the most severe security breaches are
unintentional and a result of human error.
