We are loving Trip Advisor… not only do we win a fantastic Certificate of Excellence for our Leeds hotels BUT we get lots of lovely comments and suggestions from you guys!
SteveLeic from Rugby stayed with us in July…
This hotel is ideally placed, close to the railway station, the city shops and restraunts in the newly developed canal basin. It's also easily accessible from the M1 motorway without having to cross the city. Check in was effortless and the staff were extremely helpful. I asked for a quiet room and was allocated a top floor room – which was quiet! It was extremely hot on the day I visited (30c) but the aircon worked well and was almost silent. The room was very well equipped with a dishwasher, washer drier, microwave grill, hob and fridge. I didn't need them but would definately use this hotel for a longer stay. Breakfast is also provided in reception – just grab items and a cappucino – perfect! There is subsidised parking at an adjacent NCP too. I can't realy fault this hotel and the value for money makes it a 'must' for a stay in Leeds.

iFrogz is a rising star in affordable headphones and it has inched further in engineering and development with the CS40. Padded for comfort and yet keeping the style of the iFrogz line, the CS40 attempts to bring quality, comfort, and vogue onto your head. The question is, has iFrogz accomplish this?
Mac users have been enjoying the benefits of SATA for nearly a decade and the protocol has finally become a standard in all computers manufactured today. From optical to platter based drives to solid state drives, SATA is the standard. Now that standard is starting to wash and soak into accessories making the eSATA port almost as common as the FireWire port. Interestingly enough, Apple does not put eSATA ports on its machines and many PCs are missing these ports as well, though I have seen quite a few PC laptops with them. If you would like to take advantage of the SATA speeds of the many accessories out there and you have a PCI-Express port, then may we interest you in a NewerTech MAXPower eSATA 6G PCIe 2.0 Controller Card?
So, you've got a lot of batteries for your Apple notebook, huh? Oh, just two? Still, you're looking to charge them both at the same time, right? Well you cannot do that on the notebook so you'll probably be interested in looking at an external charging station such as NewerTech's Intelligent Battery Charging Station. Now, is the $150 price tag for the intelligence part or for the convenience?
When I first purchased my MacBook Pro, the very first model to replace the aging PowerBook line, I was excited by the longer lasting battery that came with the updated Apple notebook. The original battery lasted pretty long after heavy use; however, nothing lasts for ever. So, it was time to replace Apple's battery but most likely not with another Apple battery due to the high price tag. So should I get one of those cheap ones on eBay or go to Best Buy and try my luck there? Or, should I try one from one of the longest running Mac accessory company, NewerTech?
CoPilot has been around for years and it's version 8 number boldly indicates this. I still remember the first version it released for laptops almost a decade ago and now, it's been shrunk down to the little iPhone screen. CoPilot Live handles the reduced screen real estate quite well placing important information in clear and easy to read parts of the screen while never cluttering it up. Of all the navigation applications I have reviewed, iPhone or stand-alone, I would say CoPilots map interface is the best. But does it get you to your destination the best?

Dude, game on? Want to do it extreme? Like on the wall? 300 inches large? In HD? 3D? And bring it any where? Ya, you'll want to read our review on the Optoma GT720 then because this thing does that and more. This old-school gamer of Pac Man was impressed what the Wii could do with it as well as the Blu-ray player. All in all, this isn't your father's projector. Game on.
If you're looking for a new pair of headphones and would like to give the wireless thing a try, you may wish to read our latest review on the Sennheiser PX 210 BT. Yup, they pack Bluetooth and some long lasting battery life into this headset and that Sennheiser name ain't just a name. See what we thought about it.
Intuit is well known for it's financial software. It is also well known within the Mac community for its failure to reproduce its Windows hit software for the Apple platform. Intuit told SvenOnTech in February that it was listening and started Quicken for the Mac from scratch. In fact, it renamed the software Essentials. Quicken Essentials for Mac, as Product Manager Eddy Wu told me, was "back to basics".
So, after a month with the new version of Quicken for the Mac, what did our resident reviewer Andrew Fletcher think of it? This long time Quicken user dives deep into Intuits release and gives a very fresh and honest look at those Essentials.
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs boasted about the iPads ability to display books, magazines, and newspapers just two months ago to a crowd of by invitation only reporters with the new iBook Store. Of course, in classic Jobs fashion, he neglected to give details. Well, he didn't neglect, those details hadn't yet been signed into contracts between Apple and publishers. But no worry, because you will be able to read over 1,900 consumer magazines and 300 books today. What? The iPad isn't out yet? Yes, I understand, I forgot to mention that this all comes to you from Zinio…on the device of your choice. Today.
Zinio is an e-Ink, if you will, reader that brings todays most popular magazines to your desktop and mobile device – I did say today, right? – without the need to purchase a specific device while maintaining the original layout of the publication. Zinio has been around since 2001 and with nearly a decade of experience behind in the Digital Media field, I think you'll be very impressed with Zinio. I know I was. Read why in the review.
But what about the heavy competition? When I asked Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Jeanniey Mullen about the Kindle and the pending iPad digging into their game, "We don't see it as a loss," was how she responded. Mullen pointed out that Esquire is already available for the iPhone and Zinio and sales of the magazine have not been burdened for Zinio. Mullen feels the same will be true when the iPad dawns itself on April 3rd.
Oh yes, don't worry, Zinio will also be available for the iPad as well.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Ostia Antica is Rome's answer to Pompeii, and though it lacks the volcano backdrop, it is every bit as impressive. In fact, when it comes to atmosphere, ancient Rome's port, which reached its peak in the first and second centuries A.D., wins hands down. It's an intimate, lived-in kind of place. You can wander into the neighborhood taberna (bar), where wall paintings depict some of the dishes on offer and the refrigeration system consists of huge jars sunk into the floor. There are corn mills, their grindstones still in place. Offices of shipping companies in the Forum of the Corporation have floor mosaics showing the commodities dealt in, while the public latrine must have been a great place to pick up the day's gossip. During the summer, plays and concerts are staged in the towering Roman theater (bring mosquito repellent and a cushion for the stone seats). The program of events can be found at www.cosmophonies.com. To reach Ostia Antica, take the train from Roma–Lido station (20 minutes), which is next to Piramide metro station.
Open Tuesdays through Sundays 9 am to one hour before sunset.

In mechanics, an arm secured at right angles to a shaft with which it can rotate or oscillate. Next to the wheel, the crank is the most important motion-transmitting device, because, with the connecting rod, it provides means for converting linear to rotary motion, and vice versa. The first recognizable crank is said to have appeared in China in the 1st century AD. The carpenter's brace was invented circa 1400 by a Flemish carpenter. The first mechanical connecting rods were reportedly used on a treadle-operated machine in 1430. About this time, flywheels were added to the rotating members to carry the members over the "dead" positions when the rod and the crank arm are lined up with each other.

Odd Hours is the fourth novel in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. It was released on May 20, 2008.[1]
Plot summary[edit]
After leaving the monastery in the previous book, Odd found a place to stay in Magic Beach with a retired actor. While out for a walk one morning, he finds a woman whom he had been seeing in his dreams; a young, pregnant woman who calls herself Annamaria. After being assaulted and nearly killed by a large man with two henchmen in tow, Odd is separated from Annamaria, though he uses his psychic magnetism to find her. Once he finds her they decide they need to leave immediately, but while making preparations to do so they hear a car door slam. They manage to find a spot to hide until after the men who had been chasing them leave. With the men now gone, Odd and Annamaria set out walking. On their walk, they encounter a large pack of coyotes that Annamaria somehow persuades to leave. After leaving Annamaria with a trusted friend, Odd flees to a local church, where he is subsequently turned in to the sheriff of Magic Beach. The sheriff, a man who seems to have many personalities, believes Odd is a government agent who has come to spy on his operation: the delivery and shipment of multiple nuclear weapons to terrorist groups inside the US via the Magic Beach harbor. Odd manages to convince the Sheriff that he is a government experiment gone wrong and that he is willing to help the sheriff. While the sheriff is setting up a transaction to buy his loyalty Odd manages to enrage the spirit of Frank Sinatra, who began accompanying him after the departure of Elvis. The rage caused by his spirit creates a violent whirlwind, and in the confusion Odd is able to escape from the police department.
He quickly makes his way down to the harbor and is able to board the craft that is carrying the nukes. Though he does not want to, he is forced to kill everyone on board, as there is no other way to secure the ship and its dangerous cargo. Odd manages to run the boat aground in a nearby cove and ensures that the Coast Guard, DHS, and FBI are all aware of what the boat contains. He leaves the nuclear detonators in a Salvation Army donation bin, but his intuition tells him that something else is wrong. Odd returns to the church where he left Annamaria, whom he intends to leave Magic Beach with in the Mercedes he was lent. Odd discovers that the priest and his wife were both involved with the sheriff's plan to sell nuclear weapons through Magic Beach. The priest kills his wife and is then killed by the sheriff, who is in turn killed by one of his henchmen. The henchman, identified primarily as 'Meth Mouth' talks to Odd, still believing him to be a psychic government agent. While laughing over a joke of Odd's, Odd shoots him under the table with the wife's gun.
The story ends with Odd and Annamaria leaving Magic Beach. Odd is sobbing over the murder of so many people, almost all at his hands. Annamaria comforts him with the knowledge that while he may have ended a few lives, he saved millions more. She then pulls the car over and asks Odd to show her the constellation Cassiopeia. Odd and Stormy would often point out Cassiopeia together as that was Stormy's mother's name, so Annamaria's request startles him, but he points the constellation out to her.
A four-part series debuting in April 2008, Odd Passenger detailed events between Brother Odd and Odd Hours. They were produced by Escape Goat Pictures (www.rungoatrun.com) and were directed by Jack Paccione Jr., with Odd being played by Anthony Marks.[2]
Connections to Koontz's other works[edit]
At the start of the book, Odd is wearing a sweatshirt with the words MYSTERY TRAIN on it. Later, he changes to a t-shirt with WYVERN on the front. These are references to the Moonlight Bay Trilogy, and suggests a possible link between the two series.

Category Archives: SKETCHES
The National Portrait Gallery is showcasing the works of the Daily News photographer Harry Warnecke in a collection they are calling 'In Vibrant Color'. Warnecke was the lead at the Daily News color photo studio and is credited in convincing the Daily News to invest in expensive technology that introduced color photography to the national audience. At the time, the tricolor process was so rare that Warnecke was forced to build his own camera, which used filters to separate images into the red, blue, and green pigments, creating the bold color we see in his photographs.
The collection showcases some of the cultural icon's of the 1930's and 40's. Dale Evans, Louis Armstrong, Orson Welles and Dwight Eisenhower were just a few of the subjects Warnecke was able to capture. His photos used color, rather than the black and white contrast that most photographers of his era were focusing on. By pushing the 'needle' and expanding into color photography, Warnecke was to capture the true spirt of America.
A few months ago I was thinking of how I could translate the icons of Noble County Gold, the dirigible and the oil derrick, onto letterhead, calling cards, and other paper products. I wanted images to be hand-drawn and have actual personality, in place of taking the photographs off the site and sending them to the printer.
Since I have absolutely zero drawing/sketching ability, I had to look for some help. My search for an illustrator did not take long. I had always been an avid reader of N'East Style and impressed by Christine and her talents. Her site is great and the style of her hand-drawn illustrations were a perfect match to what I was looking for.
Christine was gracious enough to accept my proposal and what came back was more than I expected. The illustrations capture the essence of the objects with only simple lines and will look amazing on anything I have them printed on. Thanks, Christine.
This past September at NorthernGRADE I had the pleasure of meeting Walker Lamond, author of 'Rules for My Unborn Son'. Walker also runs the one of the best men's blogs, 1001 Rules for My Unborn Son. The book and the blog are a collection of thoughts, phrases and tips he has compiled over the years.
The tips range from basic table manners, clothing advice and how to prepare yourself for a fight. This publication is a collection of information on how to become a well rounded man in today's society.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a signed copy at the Noble County Gold General Store and start following the rules.
According to my grandparents, there are a few skills things that every American man, women and child should learn in their lifetime. The first is knowing how to change the oil in a car, the second is how to change a flat tire, and the third is knowing how to fold the US Flag. At an early I learned to preform all three skills.(My grandfather owns a auto repair garage, reason for the oil change and flat tire to come before the flag folding)
There are numerous stories and meanings to why the flag is to be folded in the very specific manner, but the truth is the process was created by the US Army. The soldiers had to come up with a way that would allow only two men to fold the flag and keep it from touching the ground. The meanings of the thirteen folds were created years after the process had been established.
This Sunday, when you are taking down Old Glory, make sure to use the proper folding method. (shown above) By doing so will make Betsy Ross and my grandparents proud.

We up-graded our dining room the winter. Looked high and low for two lights that I liked. All that I could find was lighting going to the ceiling. Went on line found these lights and feel in love with them. My dining room needs two lights so I ordered them. They arrived sooner than I thought they would. The lights were packaged great, one was fine, the other had a broken shade. Thinking this was not going to be good, I called and had a shade here within a few days! I had a great experience with ATG Stores. When we go to look for other fixtures, this is where I will order from.

Review of 91399 - Wynwood Three-Light Chandelier
By Mary O. from North Olmsed, OH on Dec 08, 2010
It took a bit longer to arrive than expected. This chandelier gives a bistro feel over our 4 place setting table - and I like the swirled white glass instead of the amber color you find so often. Easy to install and good looking.

We're helping to spread the "green" at the River City Roots Festival this coming weekend. As the credit union has started its quest to be a greener organization, we've realized that others want to do the same thing and we wanted to help–We're helping this fabulous event provide reusable beverage mugs (significantly reducing the amount of plastic headed to the landfill) and to purchase green tags for renewable energy. While the festival isn't totally carbon neutral, it is headed in the right direction–every step helps!

Hopefully you got all those mugs back! I know it's a big problem in Germany that people end up swiping those fancy glass mugs and steins…try not to make them not look too appealing
Actually, folks get to take the mugs home as a souvenier–that way we don't have to find a place to store all those mugs…The mugs are made of recycled plastic and will be so cool everyone will want one for their very own!

It is really nice to see girls sexing it up with huge cocks. It is even nicer to see them when they are doing it at young ages. Not too young though. This girl is eighteen and loves her wonderful newfound freedom over her sexual body and loving so much her wonderful newfound best friend- cock. Yes, this girl is really into the fucking of her life. She loves what she sees and she loves what she is doing and what is being done unto her young yet mature body. Age really doesn't matter for this hot little sex angel.

Punch It! – The Ten Best Buddy Cop Movies
By Kyle Anderson on June 28, 2013
(Co-written with Whitney Moore)
This weekend sees the release of Paul Feig's cop-comedy, The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. In it, they play a mismatched pair of investigators (one FBI, the other Boston PD) who have to take down a ruthless druglord. (They're always ruthless, aren't they? Just once I'd like to see a ruthful druglord.) Also out this week is White House Down, in which a secret service agent has to team up with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES when a terrorist attacks Washington. This got us to thinking about that age-old subgenre, the Buddy Cop movie, which, despite the name, isn't necessarily limited to police officers. Here are our ten favorite Buddy Cop movies in no particular order to get you through these hot summer months.
The Other Guys
This 2010 sleeper hit starring Mark Wahlberg as a roughneck cop with anger management issues newly assigned to Will Ferrell, a meek, order-craving desk jockey, will surprise you with both its rich character arcs and range of comedy, both on-the-nose and subtle. The plot in this one isn't so much as important as the great take on classic buddy cop clichés.
48 Hrs.
Director Walter Hill had already given us action fare like The Driver and The Warriors when he unleashed the story of a slovenly police officer (Nick Nolte) who makes a deal with a slick criminal (Eddie Murphy) to help track down a pair of murderers over the course of two days. The result is overstepped boundaries and lots of hilarious bickering. And good action, too.
What would our list be without a little romance to round things out? The 1987 comedy Stakeout stars Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez as two cops assigned to keep tabs on a supposed killer (Madeline Stowe) – with deadly good looks! Ugh. Anyway, Dreyfuss' character falls in love with the criminal, which of course is a bad thing that you're not supposed to do when you and your partner are trying to incarcerate someone. At least, that's what we're told.
Tango & Cash
"Rival cops" seems like something you'd only find in the movies, but since this IS a movie, it makes a lot of sense. Tango (Sylvester Stallone) is a straight-laced yuppie detective and Cash is a rough-and-tumble good ol' boy; they're polar opposites! Of course they'd have to team up! This is another in what the late Roger Ebert called "Wunza" movies. "One's a by-the book guy, one's a loose cannon… can they get along?!?!"
Rush Hour
What could have been another unimpressive, unaffecting action movie was changed into one of the quintessential buddy cop films because of two things: Chris Tucker is hilarious and Jackie Chan is an amazing martial artist. We wish there were a duo like this now, but there are always the second, third, and fourth installment to quell our thirsts.
Hard Boiled
John Woo and Chow Yun-Fat teamed up for some of the very best action movies in Hong Kong, and this is arguably their magnum (guns, get it?) opus. Chow's a two-fisted cop named Tequila who is trying to take down a drug ring (common) and has his sights on a super-suave underboss (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) only to find out he's an undercover agent himself! This movie might have the single most number of bullets fired in cinema history, including war movies.
This semi-spoof of the humorless 1960s TV series has Dan Aykroyd as Joe Friday, who is about as clean-cut a cop as anything the '80s had to offer, who gets teamed with Tom Hanks' goofy Detective Streebeck to investigate an incredibly convoluted plot involving televangelism and virgin sacrifice. You know, that old chestnut.
Beverly Hills Cop
A must-see for the younger generations who aren't hip to how Eddie Murphy became a superstar. (Hint: it wasn't The Adventures of Pluto Nash). This is one of his masterpieces, and a true example that a film can be carried with the right star that has enough charisma and talent – because other than him, the film would be unmemorable. The original reckless cop from Detroit who does what he wants is paired with by-the-book Beverly Hills officers to help solve a murder. Instant classic, hilarity ensues.
Hot Fuzz
How could you not love a buddy cop movie that spends the first half of its running time actively making fun of buddy cop movies? Edgar Wright's genius action comedy has Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as cops in the most peaceful village in England, only to end up in the mother of all gun battles against a gang of evil octogenarians packing heat. They even fire two guns whilst jumping through the air. C'mon, what else can you ask for?
Lethal Weapon
Another action buddy cop film that turned into a successful franchise, Lethal Weapon is a classic that deserves to be rewatched. A bemulleted and suicidal Mel Gibson is paired with veteran cop Danny Glover to investigate a death of a young woman and chase around some drug dealers; explosions, murder, and high-tension action ensue. (Note, did you notice the music in this trailer is the same as the music in the Hot Fuzz trailer? Not a coincidence.) No matter how many times you watch it, you'll never be too old for this shit.
Surely there are more Buddy Cop movies than this (like Bad Boys, we know.) Do you think we missed any big ones? Let us know in the comments below.
Running Scared with Gregory Heins and Billy Crystal. "It's not the voltage that gets you, it's the amps." "How many amps are there?" "Enough to push a train, and SHUT UP!"
I'm with Seth. Running Scared was an awesome movie.
Aren't we forgetting Point Break
The LETHAL WEAPON films are unique unto themselves. There's nothing worthy about the plots that they need to remake if indeed they're still going to do that. There was just something special about that team and the family they accrued during the franchise. Very hard to replicate in a script because it was the chemistry that made it work.
48 HRS. is just a great premise in general. Two misfits forced together and both are betrayed by their people an they're the only ones they can count on.
STAKEOUT is great too. Yeah, the chemistry between Chris and Bill are good, but also the other pair of cops on the stakeout rotation. Don't get me started on ANOTHER STAKEOUT.
BEVERLY HILLS COP is good especially with the whole Bogomil stuff.
But oddly, I've always liked the relationship between Al Powell and John McLane in DIE HARD. I like the fact that they never really meet until the end of the movie, but yet they somehow trust each other.
On a different note, but not totally, I really liked Matt Nix's THE GOOD GUYS series. It was an ode to 80s action buddy flicks.
@Fartbooty POINT BREAK is an awesome flick, but the relationship between Utah and Papas wasn't as fully realized as it was with Bodhi. So, I wouldn't call it a cop-buddy flick, but still a good buddy flick. Same could be said about 48 HRS.
As for other cop-buddy flicks:
Love BLACK RAIN. It starts with one pair of friends and after he dies another team up is in the works.
DEAD HEAT: Awesome comedy and an awesome buddy flick.
The K-9 series I just love through and through.
RED HEAT: Probably loved that more back in the day then I do now.
And I guess maybe ALIEN NATION. I think at the time it was called OUTER HEAT, but with DEAD HEAT, RED HEAT all coming out in the same year they changed it to ALIEN NATION.
Obviously whoever wrote this never saw Stakeout.
"two cops assigned to keep tabs on a supposed killer (Madeline Stowe) – with deadly good looks!"
In that movie, the two cops are watching the ex-girlfriend of an escaped convict incase he tries to make contact or use her as a place of refuge. She's not a suspected of anything!
Although Midnight Run is not a cop movie it has a very similar feel and is a really good movie.
Starsky and Hutch for the win!
I want to jump on the Running Scared bandwagon. I wouldn't call Point Break buddy cop since they're FBI agents though.
But I want to toss another movie out there. One that I would replace Rush Hour or Stakeout with. And that is The Rookie starring Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, and Raul Julia
THE ROOKIE was fun. Loved that little Niehaus theme they had running through the flick.
More well-deserved love for "Running Scared", please. And for "Midnight Run", which though not a cop movie is absolutely worthy.
Dragnet? Tango & Cash? Stackout? REALLY!?
Where is Supercop? Come on, Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh!
And I agree with Running Scared.
Then again, The Crimson Rivers would be on my list. -
How do write up Tango and Cash and not mention the single greatest thing about the film? Kurt Freaking Russell!!!!!!!
Die Hard With a Vengeance is one of my all-time favorite buddy cop movies. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson? – Epic!
You have to change your list but go see "Two Guns" first
Of to mention "Cop Out"

UHM stands for Unhinged Mint - the stamp is in the condition it was in when first purchased. M stands for Hinged Mint - the stamp has previously been mounted in a collection. U stands for Used - the stamp is postmarked but not heavily.
Since the time that unhinged stamps became popular, considerable numbers of old stamps with intact gum have appeared on the market, raising suspicion that many of these have been regummed.[edit] References ...
Hinging mint stamps causes them to lose some of the original gum, thereby causing them to be worth less than they would be if they were unhinged. Stamp Mounts - These are considerably more expensive than hinges.
He hadn't thought of an unhinged sheet and typewriter. Another collector-of the true amateur type-had duplicates and triplicates of valuable stamps mounted one under the other in a printed album.

Pink Surprise
Photograph by Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
A young, rosy-hued hippopotamus (pictured) was spotted in September along the banks of Kenya's Mara River—and the discovery has two photographers tickled, well, pink.
"Just as we started to tuck into our breakfast, we looked up and gawked, open-mouthed, as a pink hippopotamus emerged from the river!" English brothers Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas wrote on their blog on September 28.
The brothers were in the Masai Mara National Reserve (map) to photograph the annual wildebeest migration when they spotted the rare youngster. (Related: Great Migrations TV miniseries on the National Geographic Channel.)
The odd-looking animal has a condition called leucism, which occurs when the skin produces less pigment than usual, according to Joshua Charlton, assistant curator of mammals at the Bronx Zoo in New York City.
"It never ceases to amaze me how often nature reveals something unexpected," Will Burrard-Lucas wrote on the blog.

Sunburn-Prone Hippo
Photograph by Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
The pink hippo is not considered albino, because its mottled skin still has some pigment (pictured, the hippo in September), the Bronx Zoo's Charlton said by email.
Though most leucistic animals are otherwise normal, they tend to be at an evolutionary disadvantage, Charlton noted.
"In many species this [disadvantage] is due to a lack of camouflage, but in the hippo's case, the lack of pigmentation can be problematic when it comes to protection from the sun," he said.
Sunburn or no sunburn, the photographers wrote, "we hope that it goes on to live a full and happy hippo life, and that visitors to the Masai Mara can continue to marvel at its fetching pink rump for many years to come!"

The pale hippo was "very shy," sticking close to its mother and staying ashore for only a few minutes before returning to the river, the brothers reported.
The Burrard-Lucases used a long, 600-millimeter lens to snap pictures of the unusual creature from a distance. On their return to the United Kingdom, the photographers say, they researched leucistic hippos and discovered there have only been a few recorded instances, mainly in Uganda.
(See photo: "Pygmy Hippo Caught on Camera.")

Pink Hippo Not Alone

Leucism occurs in many species, from snakes to elephants to hippos (pictured, the pink hippo in September), the Bronx Zoo's Charlton noted.
(See a picture of a leucistic golden eagle.)

Pale in Comparison
Photograph by Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas, Barcroft/Fame Pictures
After the photographers had snapped the pictures of the pink hippo (pictured), their guide told them he'd heard rumors of the pale creature but that he'd never seen it himself.
"We were obviously very fortunate to have stumbled upon it by chance," they wrote.
(See a picture of pygmy albino monkey babies.)

Four myths American exceptionalists peddle about the U.S. president and America's role in the world.
Posts Tagged: Neoconservatives
Calls for U.S. intervention in Syria can be traced back to PNAC.
Congress is trying to tie the president's hands on Iran--and it's about hegemony, not security.
Have conservatives ever met a junta they didn't like?
Iraq is showing leading neoconservatives the limits of America's influence in a country it laid to waste.
Dick Cheney had his eye on Iraqi oil long before 9/11.
Hawk criticism of Ron Paul is a sign of alarm about the potential crumbling of the neocon consensus on foreign policy.
Regime change in Syria could open the door to Islamist rule.
Revolutions of world-historic potential, such as we are presently witnessing in Egypt, only happen once in a generation.
There is a tendency among right-wing think tanks in the United States involved in Middle East policy to employ "experts" from the region to bolster their pro-war advocacy campaigns.

If online worlds collide, some hope for big bang of sales
IBM, Microsoft explore ways to connect Second Life, There, and other virtual spaces.
When online role-playing games first appeared, they offered people a chance to escape the daily grind and do something different, like slaying an ogre. Then something changed: These fantasy three-dimensional games got real.
Virtual worlds like Second Life and There appeared where residents used 3-D versions of themselves to do, well, pretty much what they'd do in real life, like get ice cream or shop for clothes. Soon real-world retailers, corporate training firms, even banks opened branches in virtual worlds to market real goods and services.
There's just one problem for these virtual wannabes: They can only set up shop one world at a time. Each new virtual space means building a storefront, the equivalent of making a new Web page for every brand of Web browser.
Now, more than 20 major technology firms, including IBM and Microsoft, have agreed to explore ways to connect these worlds. The move could mainstream online 3-D commerce and, more broadly, popularize a new, more visual, way to interact online.
"We have all these different platforms, and if you invest in one you're really pretty much locked in," says Robert Bloomfield, a professor of accounting who researches virtual worlds at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.
Even without interoperability, some of these worlds are growing fast. Consider Second Life, one of the more popular online worlds. From August 2006 to April 2007, its population mushroomed from under 100,000 to over 6 million. Using an online currency called Linden dollars, which has a real-world exchange rate, Second Lifers can buy online "land" and clothes for their online personalities or avatars. But companies such as American Apparel, Mercedes Benz, Circuit City, and European bank ABN AMRO have set up shop there to sell real-life goods to consumers. On a recent weekday, Second Life's online commerce topped $1.2 million (real US dollars), although slowing growth of users and a glut of virtual real estate has some news organizations suggesting a looming online recession. (Reuters and Wired Magazine operate bureaus in Second Life; CNN opened theirs in November.)

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Bacteria and not the fat in red meat may be real culprit in heart disease
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
April 8th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) While it has long been believed that the cholesterol and fat found in red meat is a leading contributor to heart disease, several doctors and researchers treated themselves to an extravagant steak breakfast to discover that a bacteria, by the name of TMAO may in fact be the real culprit. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic online) - The little-studied chemical is "burped out" by bacteria in the stomach after people eat red meat. Converted by the liver into yet another little-studied chemical called TMAO, the chemical gets in the blood and increases the risk of heart disease.Researchers asked themselves: Would a burst of TMAO show up in peoples' blood after they ate steak? Would the same thing happen to a vegan who had not had meat for at least a year and who consumed the same meal? The answers were yes to both questions. After a breakfast of steak, the TMAO burst was found in the five meat eaters and no, the vegan did not have it. TMAO levels turned out to predict heart attack risk in humans, the researchers found. The researchers also found that TMAO actually caused heart disease in mice. Additional studies with 23 vegetarians and vegans and 51 meat eaters showed that meat eaters normally had more TMAO in their blood. The people participating in a study of red meat and its consequences had hot, sizzling sirloin steaks plopped down in front of them. The researcher himself bought a George Foreman grill for the occasion and the nurse assisting him did the cooking. The seven test subjects ate every last juicy bite of the 8-ounce steaks and then waited to have their blood drawn. "It's really a beautiful combination of mouse studies and human studies to tell a story I find quite plausible," Dr. Daniel J. Rader, a heart disease researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine said. He was not involved in the research. Researchers say the work could lead to new treatments for heart disease, such as an antibiotic to specifically wipe out the bacterial culprit and also to a new way to assess heart disease risk by looking for TMAO in the blood. Questions remain, such as would people reduce their heart attack risk if they lowered their blood TMAO levels? An association between TMAO levels in the blood and heart disease risk does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. And which gut bacteria in particular are the culprits? Energy drinks and supplements used in body building often contain carnitine, a substance found mostly in red meat. The study's researchers have persuaded scientists not connected with the study to seriously consider this new theory of why red meat eaten too often might be bad for people.

Hmm I'll look into it and PM you today or tomorrow.
No hurry - and thanks for caring
Browser does not seem to make much of a difference btw, just tried it with Firefox 3.0b4; same results there.
Same here. vBulletin identifies me as logged in, but if I go directly to the website, without visiting the forums first, ads and sponsored links are still shown. I'm guessing this problem is somehow related to the fact that my IP address changes frequently, so the subscriber-detection mechanism shouldn't rely on it.

I have done 3 fasts, but the thing that always gets me to quit before I intend to is my breath! I can't stand the taste of my own breath and can't imagine what other people think! What are some things that others do to help with this problem? Usually by day 9 or 10 I'm done because of it, not hunger. Please share some ideas!

Translate this page Teenage boy arrested for graffiti crimes in Fallbrook; admits to 18 incidentsThursday, May 8th, 2014 Issue 19, Volume 18.
The juvenile was arrested at about 10 a.m. at Fallbrook High School and admitted to 18 incidences of graffiti. Yates said tagging crews (those committing Advertisement "The juvenile arrested was determined to be a prolific tagger who focused on the downtown business district, the Pico Promenade walking trail, and other areas surrounding downtown Fallbrook," said Yates. Estimated damage caused by this juvenile is about $2,000. He was booked into Juvenile Hall on vandalism charges. 16 comments
Hope he has to reimburse the funds. One good way would be mandatory Saturday working parties to repair, repaint damage done - working off the $2000 at minimum wage. Let his friends come and watch (laugh at him?) Letting parents pay often has no effect on the kid, unless they really take an interest in the child.
I wonder if this is the little dummy that spray painted two black lines on my car that was parked near a fence that was recently sprayed. Looks like two fools were having a spraying contest. One fool spray painted green on that fence and another fool (probably this one) spray painted black on the same fence, and also crossed out the green spray paint. Do something better with your loser life and leave my car alone. Now I have to buy the materials to wipe this paint off and just thinking about it makes me mad. Just respect others stuff and that's it. One of the things I hate the most, people disrespecting others property or damaging others property.
a person must feel utterly powerless and insignificant to commit such acts of public desecration...i abhor what this boy did but at the same time feel sorry for him...better he pay his debt by picking up trash and other acts of public service
You feel sorry for this little plunk, grumpy? Why? I have no sympathy for little criminals that have no respect for other or their property. It's usually because they were never tought better, never disciplined, never tought the value of hard work. Just tought to be spoiled greedy selfish little adolescent juvenile delinquents. No sympathy from me. At all.
Do you know how many pesos he will have to pay to make $2000.
I just love how liveoakparker assumes the juvenile was Hispanic! What's up with that!!! That's just stereotype should be ashamed of yourself!
Tagger in Fallbrook, Hispanic? ....How dare you assume such a thing. Shame one you!
#10 Come on I would be ashamed except for 3 little things Look at what part of town it was in Who does 99% of the tagging in town And My son works with his older brother (Ha Ha) COME ON
Young man, come on, you are better than that. You know darn well that tagging public and private property not your own is wrong and illegal. Come on. You have committed a wrong and, well, you will learn from that to be a better person tomorrow. My dear fellow Fallbrookers, although graffiti and tagging private and public property is wrong no doubt, there is a bigger underlying issue here: our youth seeking an outlet through artistic means. Again, this young man will learn -- OK -- but I think there should be opportunities for young, artistic folks like him to be able to express themselves. If you have never seen graffiti -- GREAT graffiti -- please check it out online. These folks aren't criminals; they are exceptional artists! Therefore, I propose that the newly-planned Fallbrook Skatepark have a couple or few murals where these artists could spray their graffiti. Why not? They could perhaps clean the park for one week and then get to display their graffiti for a week. Something like that. The park stays clean; teenagers get to spray their graffiti in a safe, secure and controlled environment; and our downtown is not sprayed. It's a win-win, I believe. Local businesses should embrace this! Or, what if Fallbrook's School of the Arts had a few murals for young folks to tag? Again, they could keep the place clean in exchange for tagging. Something like that. All I'm proposing is a sensible solution to a matter that (A) isn't really a problem or crime, and (B) that requires an artistic solution which is easy to attain. Thank you.
Lee, What are you smoking? It must be good (SHARE) These guys are not doing art. They are writing there names or monikers they are punks Below you will find 2 definitions of tagging Much like, but not to be confused with graffiti. Tagging is signing your name or other representation of yourself on anywhere public. (walls, bus-stops, alleyways, paved streets, etc.) Unlike graffiti, tagging usually takes less time and skill as it is done in one color with a single can of spray paint or thick marker. Tagging is not an art form or about expressing oneself. It is vandalism and the destruction of private and public property. Tagging is any unauthorized marking, etching, scratching, drawing, painting or defacing of any surface of public, private, real or personal property.
They are usually marking there territory of said gang group - so other gangs don't come in and try to sell drugs to their side... they are just like dogs.
Liveoakparker please educate us about "parts of town". This mentality saddens me. I recently saw a RE ad (maybe in this paper) "close to town but not too close". Sad.
LEE - actually has the most valuable comment on here! Propose it to the Chamber/other town politicians!
@ #13 Towner Thank you; greatly appreciate your kind words.
"You feel sorry for this little plunk, grumpy? Why? I have no sympathy for little criminals that have no respect for other or their property. It's usually because they were never tought better, never disciplined, never tought the value of hard work. Just tought to be spoiled greedy selfish little adolescent juvenile delinquents. No sympathy from me. At all." Reality Checker. Please, please think before you write. You say you have no sympathy and then you provide a perfect example of a reason to feel sympathetic. You say that he/she was never taught better, yet you still take no the low road and pass blame. As for the racism from others, you should be ashamed. Hopefully this young man will learn something from his experience and make better of himself.
Kids will be kids - I remember doing the same thing as a kid in Japan. I know it's wrong but kids like to express themselves. I think ther should be more non - permanent paints out there that just wash off in the rain. That would be one solution.

Ever since Romeo courted Juliet and Bonnie ran away with Clyde, we've been drawn to tales of love. Something about a great romance just speaks to us. Meet three real-life couples whose paths to romance are the stuff of movies.
Not the Marrying Kind
Gini Kopecky never wanted to get married. As a writer and editor, she traveled the world researching stories and meeting interesting people. She had met many men, and at 43 her life felt complete.
"I had a family history that had given me reasons to be marriage-shy," says Gini. Her parents had a rocky relationship, which took a toll on her. "My dad died when I was 14 and it was a very painful time for me and for my family," she recalls of her Illinois childhood.
She dreamed of escaping by going to college, though her mother objected. "In my family, you graduated from high school and worked in a factory, then got married and had kids," she says. Eventually she was allowed to go to college, but before she left, Gini remembers her mother telling her that no one would want to marry her because she'd be too smart. "It wasn't only that I didn't have good role models for marriage, I also grew up thinking that marriage would limit me."
As a single woman in New York City, she often fell for the wrong men—men who were unreliable or couldn't be trusted—and rejected the good ones. It made it easier to push the idea of marriage farther away.
Meanwhile, in the same city, Marc Wallace, 46, a television producer, was also living the single life. He was quite sure that going out with a series of interesting women was better than marriage. Somehow, though, on a sultry Fourth of July weekend in 1992, when a friend from California asked him to meet her at a party in lower Manhattan, Marc was overcome with a strange sensation. "I just had a feeling that I was going to meet someone special there. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I just had this feeling," he says.
Gini's friends were having the party and even though she had made other plans, she reluctantly agreed to go. She walked in and found a celebration in full swing. Leaning against a counter in the kitchen was Marc, whom she somehow started talking to. "It was a very comfortable conversation that came around to 'What do you do?'" she recalls. "I told him I was a writer and had just profiled a scuba diver who led dive tours, and he immediately said, 'I work with her husband!'" So there was an instant connection. "I found him interesting, intelligent and really nice—and when you're 43, nice counts a lot. But I just wasn't interested in meeting anyone," she says.
Marc, however, was a little more smitten. "Gini had a total soft loveliness about her. She was authentic and grounded," he says. Maybe it was his feeling that he'd meet someone special, but Marc left the party with her number, sure that he had.
Their first date was just as pleasant as their first meeting. They quickly learned they had much in common: the movies they liked, the type of food they enjoyed, their sense of humor. More outings followed. "I was 46 and I'd met a lot of women in my life, but Gini was just amazing in every way," says Marc. Still, as Gini puts it, "I was happy to have him in my life, but I was also happy to have my own apartment."
She was surprised, then, when six months into their relationship, Marc proposed. She was so anti-marriage, she thought he was joking. But it turned out he was quite serious. "We went away together to the country a few weeks before I proposed, and I remember looking at her at one point and thinking, 'My God, I could see being married to her.' I'd never had that feeling before," he says. When he popped the question, she turned him down flat. But by then he knew her well enough to know that he should be patient.
Marc never mentioned marriage again, a fact he attributes more to economics than to reluctance. He'd lost his job and was freelancing, which led him to feel less financially secure, so he couldn't afford a ring and didn't want to enter a marriage on unsure economic terms. They were both happy just to be together. For seven years they were a couple—just not a married one.
But in 1999 when Gini learned that a friend of a friend who was pregnant with her first child had been dumped by her husband, something changed. "It dawned on me that I'd be devastated if Marc left," she says. Aware that Marc was feeling economically pinched, she subtly dropped some hints that engagement was back on the table.
And at a small restaurant in Greenwich Village on Valentine's Day in 1999, Marc (who'd just completed a lucrative assignment) pulled out a diamond ring and proposed. This time, Gini said yes. "The morning after we got engaged, I felt a shift. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was with somebody, not in opposition to him, but on the same side."
At their wedding in 2000, Marc joked that he knew it was time to get married when he realized that he was older than the president of the United States. Ten years later, Gini, now 62, and Marc, 65, who is now a teacher, are still stunned by their luck in finding each other.
"You never know when love will come along," Gini says. "When you're not looking, there it is."
Coming Home
Life see med perfect for Darby Scott as summer came to a close in 1998. The mother of a 2½-year-old, she was eight months pregnant with her second son and married to a terrific man, Matthew, a commodities trader who'd helped her burgeoning fashion business get financial backing. But on September 2, 1998, her world collapsed when Matthew died in a plane crash over Nova Scotia.
"It was beyond devastating," recalls Darby, founder of Darby Scott, a dress and accessories design business. "Matthew was the love of my life and an amazing dad. He was my partner." And at 33, he was gone. Darby was just 36.
The plane crash was national news, and the media swarmed. Darby hunkered down in her apartment as her building in New York City was surrounded by reporters and photographers, who were hovering to get a picture of the pregnant widow. "It was terrifying just to go outside," she says now. Her second son, Alex, was born just one month later.
Overwhelmed and scared, Darby thought about folding her business, but her family challenged her to keep going. "My brother, Brian, gave me some tough love, telling me I owed it to Matthew to take advantage of the opportunities he was denied by dying so young," she says. So Darby began to remake her company to focus on stone-embellished handbags, a product that would allow her to spend more time with her kids.
The new bags were quickly picked up by stores, and as her success and her boys grew, she tried dating, but couldn't seem to dive in. "When you lose someone close to you, you have to honor that memory," she says. "It was important to me to create a legacy for my sons, so I needed to find someone who could accept that and not be threatened by it."
In the fall of 2007, Darby's twin sister, Laura, called from Concord, Massachusetts, where she is a teacher in the very high school that they'd attended as teenagers. She wanted to let Darby know that at parents' night, she'd run into Dave Kloss, the boy Darby had dated in high school. His son was now a student at the school. "Laura told me that Dave had lost his wife to pancreatic cancer, and that I should reach out to him since he seemed to be having a hard time," Darby says.
It took a few weeks, but she sent him a note to offer him emotional support. She heard back from Dave almost immediately—he couldn't believe how thoughtful her note had been and thanked her for her kindness. Within days, the two were constant email companions, but Darby was not thinking of romance. "I had fond memories of him," she admits, "but ours was a very innocent childhood romance."
In emails and letters and eventually phone calls between Massachusetts and New York City, they talked about their lives, their kids, and all that had gone on. Darby could see that the death of Dave's wife, Kath, had devastated him, just as Matthew's death had devastated her. In much the way her family had cajoled her to face the world again, Darby was doing the same for Dave. "I'd say, 'OK, it's another day. Get out of bed!'" she says.
That Christmas, three months from the time they had first gotten in touch, Darby and her boys went to Massachusetts to spend the holidays with her family, and had dinner with Dave and his two boys. "He cooked a fantastic dinner and our kids got along incredibly well. It was a really nice night," she says. She went home thinking she could really fall for him. During the summer, Dave invited Darby and her boys to spend a weekend on Martha's Vineyard—where the friendship finally turned into a romance.
"We took a long walk down to the beach and were standing on a bluff. I was thinking, 'This is where he's going to kiss me.' We were looking at each other and then…he didn't. But that night, after dinner, we were sitting by the fire and he got up the guts to do it."
She couldn't believe her luck—she had remet someone who had all the qualities she treasured, and he respected the relationship she had lost. Not only was Dave sensitive to the fact that Matthew died in a plane crash, but he also understood better than most the magnitude of that tragedy: He happens to be a commercial airline pilot. "I used to joke that I wanted to meet a doctor who rides his bike to work," Darby says with a laugh. "But I have tremendous confidence in Dave's skills and abilities. I don't think you're ever completely at ease, but you can't stop living."
She also loves the way Dave loves her sons, William, now 14, and Alex, 12. And she adores Dave's two sons, Pete, 16, and Daniel, 18, who are great role models for her own boys. Last summer, Darby moved to Massachusetts, and she and Dave will be married this year.
If you'd told her she'd reunite with her high school boyfriend, she'd have said you were crazy. "We keep thinking, 'Isn't it so funny that after all these years, here we are?'" she says. "But we had to go in our different directions and live our lives in order to come back together. It's a whole new world, but it's like coming home."
The Boy with the Green Eyes
When she was 17, Michelle Andrus used to escape every day to the Bracewell Public Library in Houston. A high school graduate too poor to attend college, Michelle sat among the stacks and buried her disappointment in books on physics, psychology, religion, neuroscience, art and just about anything else she could find. For hours she would lose herself in words on a page.
"The library helped me learn on my own," says Michelle. "I couldn't find a job and my only other option was to sit home with my parents and grandparents." So instead, she'd tie up her hair in a pink bandanna and ride her yellow bicycle to her refuge. She planted herself on the floor at the back of the library, under a window, and dreamed of being a writer. The more she read, the more she noticed her vocabulary and writing improving.
She noticed something else, too: a boy about her age with brightblue dyed hair and intense green eyes stealing glances at her through the shelves of books. He was there to read to a story-hour group, and often stayed late. Day after day they found themselves both sitting in the same spots, but they never exchanged a word. One day—she can't remember why—she didn't make it to the library. After that, she never saw the green-eyed boy again.
Still, Michelle kept up her daily library trips for nearly two years, and stopped going only when she got a job at an appliance store in 1999. Two years later, when she was 21, she married a coworker, and decided to enroll at a local art institute that also offered classes in the culinary arts. "I loved baking and the detail that went into making beautiful cakes," she says. Unfortunately, she couldn't finish the program because she had become pregnant with her second child. When that child was just 5 months old, she and her husband split, and she and her children moved in with her parents.
Determined to take care of her family, Michelle walked into the local grocery store and headed to the bakery to ask if they were hiring. "When I went on the interview, the manager asked me to ice a cake. My hands were shaking, but I got the job," says Michelle.
Soon she met Julio Lozano, another cake decorator. They always seemed to be on the same work schedule, and started to chat as they spread icing and piped flowers onto birthday cakes. On breaks, they would sit down and talk. Something about him seemed familiar, but she couldn't place him. Julio had been thinking that Michelle looked familiar, too. They figured out that they had gone to the same high school, but when they started comparing notes on their high school experiences, Michelle says, it really didn't add up. "He had his friends. I had my friends. We didn't really know the same people."
Julio's marriage was breaking up just as Michelle's had. Since they both had the same schedule, they began taking their children (his 6-monthold twins, Ayden and Izrael, and her two children, Mary, 4, and Lucian, 2) to a local park, where the kids played while the adults talked about their lives, their goals and dreams.
"I really wanted to go back to school and felt kind of stuck where I was," Michelle says. "Julio would give me pep talks."
"One day I brought a picture of myself as a teenager and took it out to show him. He looked at the picture and then looked at me and said, 'You're the girl on the yellow bike with the pink kerchief in your hair.' And suddenly I knew that he was the boy with the green eyes," says Michelle with a laugh. "By then, he looked much different. His hair wasn't blue anymore, but his eyes were the same color green."
Julio couldn't believe it. He'd been hanging around the library all those years ago just to get a look at her, too shy to ever speak to her. "I always had this idea in my head about who I'd marry and I always thought of that girl from the library," he says. "Meeting her was like walking into a dream."
The couple, now both 30, have been married for two years. They have two children together: Apple, 18 months, and Sunday, 5 months. Julio now works in technical support for a satellite television company, and a group called Project Working Mom recently awarded Michelle a full scholarship so she can earn her bachelor's degree in an online program through Ashford University in Iowa. With Julio's support, she says, her dreams of getting a college degree and becoming a writer are now on track.
"This is how I'd always imagined marriage to be," she says. "It's a fun experience every day, and even with all the kids we have, we're still able to enjoy and support each other." These days, she no longer runs to the public library to escape. "Now Julio and I take our kids with us to the Bracewell Library to get books," she says. "They are huge readers!"
