Booked executive room(2 bed) for $75usd but was charged $90usd on the day i was paying off. Booking.com and even the aracari resort leaflet state that the room i was in was $75usd. But still with no logic explanation the resort insisted it was $90. If i would have known from the beginning i would have gone to a hotel worth better than aracari. Facilities was not up to standard.
The staff were extremely friendly. They made me feel welcome on my arrival. They were always on hand to help. The food provided was nice. The security were helpful and made me feel safe.
I did not like that my room was supposed to have a microwave but it did not have one on arrival. The fan at times took a while to work and blow out fully cold air. I think the price with VAT should be shown somewhere when booking.
The sheets and the bathroom some work can be done in those areas.
wi fi was ok Room layout ok view reasonable staff was helpful despite being overworked
very poor and deceptive booking traits(booking confirmation grossly dishonored paid $40.US More on my booking) poor room facilities( dirty shower curtains,uncleaned refridgerator, dirty room, stained pillows and sheeting, poor bathroom facilities, showers low water pressure) poor time keeping where breakfast is concerned. very little or no breakfast choices etc,etc,etc.
The staff were excellent.
There were three TV channels available on T.V one was showing triple X sex movies all stay long. I wanted to check out a day early after a seven day stay and they refused to reimburse me for the last day. The pool was not working for the duration of my stay. The place is run down with only a few guests staying there. All week there were a total of about 4 to 5 guests at the bar, very boring.
Clean; no bugs Free breakfast varied and adequate
Remote location from city (could be good or bad depending on the traveler) Shower handle missing (needed to manipulate bare metal lever to turn shower on/off, hot/cold, etc.
The price was great and the staff was excellent.
The sheet on the bed were old and souled. The knobs in the shower was broken, the tub was not set right so it made creaking sounds. Wifi signal was a bit weak. Breakfast needs improvement I tried it once and couldn't finish.
I was there midweek and wanted to do some tours. The guy at reception phoned every agency trying to get me on a tour without success. The manageress then did some ringing around and they put together a river tour to Fort Island for me themselves. She even told the guy at reception to come with me so I didn't get ripped off by locals.
Restaurant - menu choice of only chicken and rice or chicken and chips. One pancake for breakfast, nothing else. Some areas quite dirty.
I like that it was close to where I wanted t b
Some staff need retraining and need to take hospitality courses all areas need better cleaning from rooms to the restaurant to even the poolside
The staff were very friendly. The facilities were clean. The food was tasty. It was quiet and peaceful.
Not everything that was shown on the menu was available and the server taking our order did not know what was available.
I arrived at approximately 11pm and the front desk person had no record of my reservation. Luckily I had my copy of the emailed confirmation. Room did not have air condition. Mosquitoes all night Witnessed reservations made by men and what appeared to be their hourly companions for hours.Had the feeling I had booked into a sex shop. Taximan advised me against staying for the night. I stayed however because i did not want my card to be charged . Night staff do not have access to computer systems. Thats ridiculous.
The staff was helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable!!!
Air condition took a while to get going. But when it did it was ok. The bath tub did not drain fast enough. Took a while to figure out how to flush the toilet.
I like it's accessibility, as I rated what you get at the price you do is pretty good... the staff are most helpful and understanding. And would I stay there again?? Yes!!
Well, I rate Aracari pretty good, if I would have to say an area of improvement is needed, it would be more variety in meal choices... besides that I had 1 odd incident that was more my fault than staff, but I will inquire on my return...
We were not given the rooms we booked and offered a room in 2 times more expensive than was booked. Rooms were very dirty.
Pool was nice, but not clean wieght room was good manager was as helpful as she could be
Food was very poor, no brewed coffee, only instant, they did not have most of the items on the menu. Internet signal in the room was poor Tv stations very few and not clear, except for the porn that was on 24/7. I had to unplug the tv and return the remote, no one should have to see that flipping through the channels. No airport shuttle

On Holy Saturday, the day before Easter, about 25 people gathered at a tiny United Methodist church on Highway 97, in the Stanhope community, west of Rocky Mount, N.C. Inside stood a plain and spindly cross, made two weeks earlier by a dozen kids from a pressure-treated 2×2 they sawed in half, lashed together with twine, and then wrapped in chicken wire.
Wobbly and fragile, the cross wasn't quite square, defying both plumb and level. The pieces met just a few degrees shy of 90, which, coupled with the warp of the upright, made the cross appear to be staggering slightly backward and to the side.
But in a worship service that began at 5 p.m., the homely cross burst into life and beauty as the children, their parents, and others covered it in flowers. Red and white azalea blooms. Baby's breath. Dogwood. Long-stemmed roses, white, red and yellow.
A decade earlier, after years of declining membership, the N.C. Annual Conference closed Stanhope United Methodist Church, and for several years it sat shuttered and vacant. But in 2004, with support from The Duke Endowment, the church reopened as a ministry for the area's growing Hispanic and Latino population: La Estrella Resplandeciente Iglesia Metodista Unida, The Shining Star United Methodist Church.
"This is a historical moment in this area and in the lives of these people," says the Rev. Luis "Lucho" Reinoso, 72, a "retired" United Methodist minister who pastors a three-point charge on Sundays and La Estrella on Saturdays. "They are here, with great needs, isolated from family and everything that is familiar to them. With La Estrella, we are telling them that 'This is your place. This is your church.' We are saying 'You are my brother. You are my sister.'"
It is also, insists Reinoso, a historical moment for the United Methodist Church—indeed for all denominations in the United States. In a time of extraordinary demographic change and upheaval, amid often bitter political debate, how will the church respond?

Some might call him a jack of all trades, other might say he is a Renaissance man but whatever the case, Bishop local Robert Miller never stops learning, creating and growing. Since MillerŌĆÖs May 31 art show and sale at East Side Books, the self-taught artist/architect/inventor/photographer/machinist and soon-to-be nonagenarian said he is deeply involved in experimenting with various ways to use charcoal.

Change is coming to the Lone Pine Airport ŌĆō the kind of change that local officials hope will help aviators identify the region they are in and the activities that are available when they fly into Lone Pine. The Lone Pine Airport will be renamed the Lone Pine-Death Valley Airport. Local officials and a group of Lone Pine residents said Tuesday the new name will help tourists, especially foreign tourists, identify Lone Pine as a gateway to Death Valley.
Inyo County Health and Human Services/Eastern Sierra Area Agency on Aging will be sponsoring several community presentations about the two new Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans, HHS/Eastern Sierra Area Agency on Aging Director Jean Turner said.
Beginning this Saturday, there is even more for community members and visitors to see at the Lone Pine Film History Museum. Museum Director and former president and CEO of Republic Pictures Bob Sigman announced Monday that he completed a licensing negotiation with Swank Motion Pictures, Inc., one of three companies that handles film licensing for major studios, that will allow the museumŌĆÖs theater to screen new-release DVDs for the community.

Digital 395, the high-speed Internet project that will improve connections from Barstow to Reno, is nearing the last leg but unexpected delays may hold completion for another month. The project was scheduled to be completed by July 31, but managers said the company building the fiber-optic backbone, Praxis Associates, said some permits from the U.S. Forest Service have yet to be issued, and some communities, including InyoŌĆÖs towns along the U.S. 395 corridor, probably wonŌĆÖt be completed until mid- or late August.
Inyo County Sheriff Bill Lutze has asked for ŌĆō and received ŌĆō an amendment to the local vehicle code regulating long-term parking on county roads. The amendment that the Board of Supervisors approved Tuesday means that local rules for parking vehicles on county and state highways will remain the same: vehicles left parked for more than 10 days can be towed away. However, Lutze explained Tuesday that the county ordinance dealing with prolonged parking actually cited the wrong state vehicle code.
Eastern Sierra Future Farmers of America and 4-H Club student agriculturists are once again showing their hand-raised livestock and showmanship skills at the 2013 Junior Livestock Show through Saturday, July 13 at the Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fairgrounds in Bishop. The show features 179 Inyo, Mono, Douglas and Alpine county student exhibitors, ages 5-19, and plenty of market class livestock ŌĆō 81 hogs, 16 beef, 65 lambs, 86 turkeys and six rabbits ŌĆō as well as a goat and chicken stock, said Fair Secretary Rebecca Bragdon. See page 3 for a complete schedule of events.
Filming in Inyo County appears to have slowed down over the past 12 months, but Film Commissioner Chris Langley said Tuesday that he expects it to pick back up. Langley said he does not have an estimate about how many films or commercials shot in Inyo County over the past year. ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt recall the permits from the different agencies (that issue film permits, including the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service) because the people who issue the permits are being shifted around. But we havenŌĆÖt been as busy as in years past, I suspect.ŌĆØ

The multi-faceted Warren Street Improvement Project has an ongoing sidewalk art section which, if all goes according to plan, will be a continuous flow of related themes that celebrate the Eastern Sierra, past and present.

Why is Blizzard still OK with gender inequality in World of Warcraft? {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 4:18PM The creepy comment bothers me a bit more than the skimpy armor, to be honest. I haven't seen a single NPC tell my forsaken lady how sexy she is.. but them's the breaks with a rotting face.
Perhaps it'd be even creepier if some NPC did find the purification sexy.
Basically, I don't want to be chatted up by some old fart in real life, so why make it happen in my game?
The flip of this is that while I don't particularly love chainmail bikinis, it's high-fantasy armor and there are plenty of reasonable options (along with completely baffling "decapitate yourself with your own pauldrons" types too).
I will toss on some skimpy stuff in game because it's an option and it can be fun and silly, but being hit on by some creep isn't optional in game, I guess if he's your faction representative.

23 images of the female pandaren customization {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 1:24PM I beg to differ, actually.
I think this body shape is actually quite cute and will attract those players that like a "pretty" race. Here's my reasoning, while those who want "pretty" may find a human-looking short, squat race less attractive, there is an extra level of separation in that players who want "pretty" aren't actually bear-faced.
Another thing, I'm relatively certain that pandaren aren't short. Short and squat seems unattractive in todays society. Being taller and curvy is far more acceptable. If you bring up gnomes, their society tends toward more playfulness which is inherently cute, even if they are shaped like basketballs with legs.
I alts tend toward female tauren and trolls because I am more like that shape than any of the others (thicker legs, taller, muscular).
That said, my main is forsaken and shadowy and super evil and that is my "escape" time.
Spiritual Guidance: Brainstorming the future of shadow priest glyphs {WoW}
Mar 21st 2012 4:17PM I consider Lilian Voss to be a true Shadow Ascendant, so I think it would be cool if some of our attacks could put purple flames on/around our targets.
I love LOVE and I guess, shall soon have to make that LOVED the artwork for Devouring Plague. The giant purple skull and crossbones showing up over very large bosses always made me smile because I knew "That was me!" Now that DP is going away, could we reuse that art for something spectacular?
The hard part about thinking about visuals for our spells is that we are scrambling brains. We use psionic attacks, so the damage is less visual. Perhaps a small shadow whirlwind that builds in size around us rather than shadow "orbs" as we build the power. It seems more like it's being stirred up by invisible unholy power. First is the shadow whirlwind, second level adds red crackles of lightning and third "orb" adds a bit of white sparks.

I'm a bit behind in watching movies, but a couple of weeks ago, I headed to the theaters to catch Leonardo DiCaprio's latest film Inception. It's an interesting movie – it really makes you think about what's happening when you dream. The premise is that in your dreams, it's theoretically possible to have someone break in and steal your darkest secrets. To that end, it's filled with plenty of twists and turns just to make sure that your subconscious knows when someone has penetrated your dreams to try and force you to reveal what yo u don't want others to know. While Inception is a great movie filled with suspense, action and a hint of drama, there's a bigger view when it comes to whether or not the technology is really possible.
It is…and it's already here.
Remember Second Life? It's basically the social network for people who like playing online games like World of Warcraft or EverQuest. It's a place where you can really be someone else and no one will really know. But these games can be quite addictive that sooner or later, we'll find ourselves being a part of this Second Life world – which will inevitably blur the boundaries between our reality and what happens from the online world. Is this anything new? We seek to escape our lives on a constant basis by flocking to a virtual one where we're only separated by something as simple as a computer.
Prior to even having social networks like MySpace, Facebook or even Second Life, there were online games that let us take on different personas. Those in college who loved playing video games were probably adept at playing Counterstrike where you impersonated a terrorist or a military figure and did battle in an established course. This is no different from now except you're able to really personalize how much of a fake you're willing to be. If you're a male, you can be a female or vice versa. OR, you can pretend to be filthy rich when you're just an average working person along with other customizable traits. The point here is whether or not we know where the fantasy ends and where does reality begin?
Do you have a totem? If you're constantly online playing a different role, what is your totem? That is, what keeps you sane and tells you that what you're experiencing now is truly reality? Are you still dreaming? Second Life can be quite addicting and thereby can help raise some issues whereby people are more prone to taking risks and doing things that they wouldn't normally do – why? It's probably because that the virtual world is totally safe…you're able to make up fictitious personas (or use your very own) and then live out your wildest fantasies with reckless abandon.
Are there life lessons that can be taken from watching Inception? Could it be something where privacy issues come up and social networks must respect the individual's rights? Or could it be that we, as users, must be careful in what we say and do online because it can have unintended consequences for everyone involved? In a way, it's everything…we must be careful that we don't get caught up with the web & that we're able to truly make it work with us in our daily lives instead of taking it over.

Fine Arts Theater
51 Broad Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Originally called the New Theater, by the time I got to see it, there was nothing new about it; dark and dingy and poorly maintained, it struggled along as a second run house in Elizabeth's downtown.
I believe it was operated by Redstone/General Amusements until 1960 or so, then had a brief go at being an art house operated by Dick Nathan around 1961 or 1962.
Last time I saw the building, it was in use as a dollar store.
Recent comments (view all 4 comments)
Listed as the New Theater in the Film Daily Yearbook:1941 edition with a seating capacity of 900. By the 1950 edition of F.D.Y. it is still the New Theater, 51 Broad Street with seating given as 700.
An internet search of 51 Broad Street brings up the current occupants as Bobby's Department Store.
Still listed as the New Theater in the 1956 FDY. Can't find it in the 1961 edition.

Do we need more teenaged hunters? My former boss Mel Rothenburger asked that question in his column here Thursday. It was a rhetorical question, I suspect; I'm not sure he really wants an answer.
But I'm going to give him one, because I have one to give.
No, we don't need more teenaged hunters, anymore than we need teenaged hockey players or young swimmers or youthful piano players.
Despite the fact all the activities I just mentioned are healthy productive endeavours that build better people, we don't need anyone to do any of them.
A better question to ask, in my mind, is do we want more teenaged hunters. To that I say yes, because the values and lessons learned by teens in the bush about life, death and nature are important and will make them better, more well-rounded people. Really.
B.C. politicians are concerned about the falling number of people who choose to hunt. To help promote the sport, the Liberals have proposed to make hunting easier for youth hunters to try out. Kids between 10 and 17 years old will be allowed to obtain a $7 youth licence and hunt under the watch of a licenced mentor.
In almost all cases, that will be their father. Yes, Mel, I suppose it is possible an 18-year-old teen could "mentor" his 17-year-old friend, allowing both to "traipse" about the woods shooting things, but that's an unlikely scenario. Far more likely is that a whole bunch more 14- and 15-year-olds will get out in the bush this fall with dads and uncles and get the chance to try something new. Something that doesn't involve staring at a screen. Something that teaches kids real lessons about the environment and the place of humans and animals within it.
Yes, Mel, I suppose we could set teens loose with cameras instead. Taking pictures is a wonderful activity that also teaches much. I've spent as much time in the bush with a camera over the years as I have a rifle or shotgun, and shot many deer with a camera. Only trouble is that you can't eat a photograph. So for two months or so every year, I make the effort to fill my freezer instead of my photo albums. Taking care of my needs in such direct fashion has always brought me a measure of satisfaction.
Let's get to the heart of Mel's objection. It's not about new hunting licence measures. My former boss, a man I continue to respect, simply does not like hunting. He never has and while his opposition has softened greatly over the years - there was a time when he vehemently denounced those who hunt - it has always been an activity he frowns upon.
So be it. Ours is a free society and Mel is fully entitled to express his opinion. I came to enjoy the occasional mix-up with Mel in the newsroom about the virtues of hunting. It's healthy and necessary for us to engage in this kind of debate; it's how we shape and evolve our society.
I'm glad the B.C. government is working to make the activity more accessible to beginners. I know it will make it easier for me to take my own daughters hunting more. I have friends in similar position.
By introducing newcomers, it's possible some will find a new passion of their own for hunting, an activity that I and many other respectable citizens have found to be a worthwhile and rewarding pastime.

A church organist plays the organ in church services. The organ is an important musical instrument in many religious traditions. In some cases, organists collaborate with the pastor or music director to choose hymns for the worship service. In others, organists are given an overview of the lesson and allowed to choose appropriate music. Often, these selections must be approved by the music department.

Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive Madness" Tournament Is An Utter Travesty
1) Beyonce vs. 16) Avril Lavigne
8- Marisa Miller vs. 9) Candice Swanepoel
5) Gisele Bundchen vs. 12) Emanuela Depaula
4) Adriana Lima vs. 13) Keri Hilson
6) Rihanna vs. 11) Izabel Goulart
3) Carrie Underwood vs. 14) Katy Perry
7) Elizabetta Canalis vs. 10) Brooklyn Decker
2) Alessandra Ambrosio vs. 15) Miranda Kerr
Now I don't know if you noticed yet but who is missing from those seedings? Look again. Look closely. Ummm…where the fuck is Bar Refaeli? First thing I noticed. It's like I opened up the link, blinked, and said "where's Bar?" That's like the selection committee leaving Kansas off of this year's bracket. Just utterly reprehensible. People should be fired. Heads should roll. I mean did a gay guy make this bracket? Had to be a gay guy right? Or a chick with a Bar grudge? Must have been like Brooklyn Decker's best friend who made this? Because I don't know what kind of la la land you have to live in to put fucking Avril Lavigne in a sexiest woman alive bracket before Bar Refaeli but it's fucking disgusting.
PS – It's pretty clear to me and anyone else with a dick that Alessandra Ambrosia is like Duke to this selection committee. Just the media darling relying on past reputation and good coaching. I mean a 2 seed? Really? Against #15 Miranda Kerr? What is this 2001? Wake up. Dicky V would be fucking bullshit right now. I mean this is Hampton vs. Iowa State all over again except this time Hampton is a 45 point favorite. You make the call:

When the new coalition government came to power in May 2010, it was anticipated that the regional structure of economic development (and tourism) would change but it was unclear how, to what extent and to what timescale. There was also the issue of the impending Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) to account for, with the knowledge that there would be considerable cuts in public sector spending across the board. The transition has thus been a complex issue to follow with some aspects still being developed. For the tourism sector, it represents the biggest structural change in public support for the industry since the 1969 Development of Tourism Act.
The existing mix of Regional Tourist Boards, Destination Management Organisations (DMOs), tourism partnerships and other sub-national structures is realigning in response to the funding challenges and the new landscape of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs). VisitEngland is connecting with destination organisations to support them through the changes to help grow their local visitor economies. VisitEngland has established a relationship with the LEPs to highlight the role that tourism can play in growing the economy at the local level and to support them to develop their approach, a role outlined for VisitEngland in the Government White Paper 'Local Growth'. Please see the sections below on LEPs and Destination Organisations for further information.
The Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) programme is now underway with 39 LEPs having been agreed by Ministers. Find out more about the LEP programme, how tourism is featuring and how VisitEngland is engaging with LEPs.

Cities of Ancient Israel |
D8 on the Map.
Samaria was a region in the land of Israel with geographical limits that were never clearly defined in the Bible. Originally it was the territory of Ephraim and half tribe of Manasseh, the E. boundary was the Jordan River, and a W. boundary was the coast. The S. boundary ran from Jericho to Bethel, and the N. boundary was the rich valleys of Beth Shan and Jezreel up through the north parts of Mount Carmel.
After the division of the kingdom Samaria extended to Galilee. After the campaign of Tiglath-Pileser III in 732 B.C. the Assyrian province of Samaria was called Samarina. This is where the Assyrians settled new foreigners to mingle with the people of Israel, and this time the became known as Samaritans. The Hill Country of Samaria remained a province during the Persian period.
Samaria was known for its rich agriculture, wheat and barley, grapes and olive vineyards. Located in Samaria was a very important international trade route called the Via Maris (the coastal highway).
After the Jews returned from Babylon to rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem the Samaritans came to help, but their offer was rejected and thus the ridiculing began (Ezra 4; Neh. 2:10). It is interesting to note that the governor of the province of Samaria in the latter half of the 5th century B.C., whose name was Sanballat (Neh. 2: 10, 19) along with his sons are mentioned in the recently discovered ancient papyri of the Jewish community in Elephantine, Egypt.
The Roman General Pompeii annexed Samaria to the Roman province of Syria in 63 B.C. later Augustus gave the capital of Samaria to Herod. The New Testament makes many mentions of Samaria and the Samaritans. Jesus passed through Samaria on His way to Jerusalem (Luke 17:11) and on His way back, He came to Sychar, a Samaritan city, and spoke to a woman from Samaria at Jacob's well (Jn 4:4 ff).
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Non Biblical source: 1 Macc. 3:10; 10:30.
Biblical sources: Amos 3:9; Jer. 31:5; Obad. 1:19; 1 Kgs. 13:32; 2 Kgs. 17:26; 23:19; Ezra 4:17; Luke 17:11; John 4:4; Acts 1:8; 8:1 ; 9:31; 15:3.

Meet The Top 40 Of Season 12
Two very different classics mark the end of Hollywood.
After seven audition cities, several hundred golden tickets, and approximately five billion renditions of "Jar of Hearts," American Idol Season 12 is down to its final 20 men and 20 women. One of these people is going to be, at the very least, the next Lee DeWyze. Prepare yourselves.
Looking at our list of the top 40, this season's publicity tilt towards the ladies, and completely unsubtle urging of the first female winner in six years, really stands out. More women than men have gotten the full Idol pimp treatment of being seen in the audition round and in both days of Hollywood. Of course, the voters will have their say as they always do, and it will be no shock whatsoever if a male we've barely seen so far ends up as our champ.
But Idol desperately does not want that to happen. Before we could meet the final 40, the 47 femmes who survived group night in Hollywood still had their final solos; and the producers crammed the three women who have been edited as being "the best" into the first dozen minutes of the show. This sort of heavy-handedness has been known to backfire before, and surely will again unless Idol pumps the brakes a little.
That opening segment of Thursday's show did one important thing, however: it established Angela Miller (above) as the singer to beat in Season 12. The teaser at the end of Wednesday showed Angela at the piano and promised something special, and while this may never happen again, this one time at least, Idol delivered on its promise. Angela performed a song she had recently written called "You Set Me Free," and while the lyrics weren't too far beyond cliché, it was a remarkable effort for an 18-year-old. More importantly, Angela completely embodied the lyrics, giving a performance that seemed pro level (it was so good, I have to wonder if it was tweaked in post-production to give it a little more punch).
I agree with what Nicki Minaj said here: Angela began the night as someone who would probably make the finals, but hadn't really stood out as something new and exciting. Now, she seems like a star already. Also: while her songwriting ability will be of little obvious use going forward, that and her piano playing will tend to mark her as an "artist" as opposed to the other mere "singers" – an image that our recent white-guy-with-guitar winners have all benefited from.
The other female frontrunners immediately followed Angela. Candice Glover did her best to breathe some life into the one recent song I'd really like to kill off, Alicia Keys's "Girl on Fire." It's a credit to her talent that she made me not hate it so much, but Candice could eventually suffer from the Melinda Doolittle problem – being so uniformly awesome that she can never get credit for "growth." Janelle Arthur, making her third trip to Hollywood, followed in an Idol champ's footsteps with "I Told You So," and while she's never really captivating to me, she comes across as a fully-formed country warbler already, complete with "the Look."
Also in this group: the possibly insane Zoanette Johnson. Her getting sent to Hollywood to begin with came across as a bunch of tired judges in Oklahoma City saying "What the hell, why not, she'll be fun," but every time she's on that stage, she's making enough of an impression that she's been impossible to cut. What would she do for her final solo, her one big chance, her make it or break it shot? She got behind the drum kit, gave some instructions to the band, and grunted out what seemed to be a completely improvised series of observations about her time in Hollywood. Its title, and my spelling may not be exactly correct here, was "Ba Ba Dah Ba Buh."Was it great singing? Well, no. Was it entertaining? Oh my, yes. For a minute or so, Idol seemed legitimately dangerous in a way it hasn't been since Paula Abdul tried to speak without a script that one time. She's obviously there for comic relief, but while a lot of people will disagree with me on this, what's the harm in keeping her around?
Jett Hermano, who has been in the background throughout Hollywood (she was part of the terrible "American Boy" group on Wednesday), also moved forward out of this first group, and towards an almost certain early elimination. The odds might be a little better for 15-year-old Juliana Chahayed, who we hadn't heard sing till now. Her version of "Landslide" was quite good, and though she doesn't have the prodigy feel of a Jessica Sanchez, I think viewers might be protective of her.
They keep showing us enough of teen Shubha Vedula to keep us intrigued, without beating us over the head. More than anyone else this season, she's been clearly influenced by Mariah Carey and her main imitator Christina Aguilera, and while that's never been my favorite type of Idol contestant, she's definitely a fine example of the breed. Mariah was charmed by Shubha's version of "When You Believe," the duet hit for the judge and Whitney Houston.
With one eccentric already through in Zoanette, would fellow weirdo Kez Ban join her? Kez was charming in her audition with "I've Got No Strings" and a neat original, but on this night, she either badly misjudged the caliber of her new song or simply had a shot voice from the exertions of Hollywood. She called the song "my very favorite original ever," but it wasn't any good and wasn't sung well. Nicki curtly said "we appreciate your artistry" before announcing she was done. Kez admitted she had only auditioned to please her mother, but in the end, she finally seemed to warm up to Idol. "I'm very sad to leave this family so soon," she said, before asking Ryan Seacrest, aka The Most Powerful Man in Show Business, to give her a job on the crew.
Ashlee Feliciano, the very likable young woman with the big foster family we saw in the New York audition, appeared to get sick at exactly the wrong time. Or maybe it was just that "A Thousand Years" was a boring song choice, one that couldn't be saved by a strange falsetto run at the end (Christina Perri and Gotye: the dual bad luck charms of Season 12). She wouldn't make it through this round. Others cut at the last second who we didn't hear sing this night were Kiara Lanier and, shockingly, Briana Oakley, who had seemed so strong the night before. Briana might be a contender to win a future Idol season, if she doesn't get a better offer in the meantime.
Melinda Ademi received praise for a rarity at this stage: an uptempo number, Jessie J's "Price Tag." She was smart to avoid a ballad that might have exposed her, because she seems limited to me. Melinda moved on, surpassing her effort of two seasons ago, when she got some audition love due to her family background (they were refugees from Kosovo).
The last featured singer was Kree Harrison, who has attracted some buzz from those whose job it is to buzz about Idol even though we didn't see her until Wednesday, when she was shown briefly in her group. The judges have been skeptical of her star potential (Randy Jackson even voted no in her audition), and you can see why: she's 22 but comes across as older, as introspective and not at all girly. Losing both parents before she turned 20 has apparently given a melancholy tone to her music, but needing a big effort at the end, Kree connected with a powerful "Stars" (Grace Potter's songs are getting a big boost from this season's contestants, which I applaud). Keith Urban is obviously behind her, but she's going to need to pick the right song every single week.
So what became of some others who we saw audition and never again? The adorably old-fashioned Isabelle Parell, or the cute frog-gigger Ja'Bria Barber, or the jazzy sailor girl Jesaiah Baer, or Georgia nominee Isabel Gonzalez? Somewhere along the line, they went home without a trace, though all are teens and could easily return.
With 24 ladies making it to this point, it was time for more cuts. Lauren Mink (who went to Hollywood last year) and Ariel Sprague (who nearly made the Season 11 top 24) were cruelly trimmed here. The battle for the last spot came down to Stephanie Schimel and her bad makeup job vs. Rachel Hale, the Arkansas spitfire who I've been high on, but who apparently went off course with a ballad on her earlier solo. Rachel's last chance solo on a Haley Reinhart song was still not up to her best, but she easily outperformed Stephanie, who made Phillip Phillips's "Home" sound like a girlish seduction number. The only question here was whether the show was worried that another country-ish singer might steal votes from Janelle. Answer: I guess not.
Finally, it was time to pick up where we left off with the guys, who were standing at 28 last Thursday. The judges asked to hear from two singers at this point. Adam Sanders had seemed like a shoo-in when we saw his audition, but he had been getting more inconsistent; and his final song, Celine Dion's "Taking Chances," was a screeching, horrific disaster. Adam was pitted against would-be gospel singer Josh Holiday, who did a Vegas-y "Georgia on my Mind" that will only be remembered because of the huge rip in his pants that emerged when he went into a crouch. What would his church say about pants that tight?
Adam ended up leaving here with the cut to 20. The only other well-known wannabe to depart one step from glory was David Leathers Jr., who was literally one contestant away from making the final 24 a season ago. He sounded discouraged, and considering he's losing his cheek-pinching cuteness and his higher voice in a hurry, it's possible he's peaked. Oh, to be over the hill at 18.
Here are the 40 singers moving on to Las Vegas, and the first performances before a real audience (still no public voting yet, though).

King Corn – Coming to PBS!
Posted By Worker Bee On March 29, 2008 @ 9:03 am In Diet,Health,Reviews,Videos | 11 Comments
Back in September, we told you about [7] a new independent film called King Corn that, as the title suggested, was poised to blow the roof off the concept of the American food industry by telling us that everything – and I mean everything – we eat contains corn!
As a reminder, the story focuses on two recent college grads who embark on a journey to grow their own crop of corn and follow the grain – yes, grain, not vegetable – cycle from seedling to dinner plate. Over the course of the film, the men learn about the rigors – or really, lack of – behind growing corn as well as all sorts of buried information about how corn has infiltrated just about every facet of our modern food chain.
Now, we are excited to inform you that the film, which got picked up for theatrical distribution last fall, will now be aired on PBS (check the local listings [8] to figure out when you should tune in!) as part of its Emmy award-winning "Independent Lens" series.
While we're super excited about the fact that the film is airing, we're also pretty impressed with PBS's promotional site for the film, which you can log on to here [9]. We love the diaries of the Independent Lens staffers who decided, like the men in the film, to cut corn completely from their diets for one full week – plus the one staffer, Jen, dishes out some pretty good-sounding recipes! The website also condenses a number of tips and tricks you can employ – relatively painlessly – to reduce the amount of corn in your diet and your reliance on the corn industry as a whole.
Be sure to check what time the film will be airing in your region and let us know what you think! We're sure you'll be amaized!

For book-lovers - the hotel is located right across the street from the enormous Waterstones Bookshop (formerly the world-famous Dillons), with many smaller new and second-hand bookshops around Bloomsbury and the nearby Charing Cross Road.

I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with my first child and curious as to what you think!
I hate the smell of meat cooking and cant eat any meat or eggs except for pies or sausage rolls.
Hair growth is more or less the same
Placenta is left posterior and i ovulated from my left ovary.
Boobs were sore from 3-11 weeks and they have gone up a cup size. I have also lost weight (probably due to morning sickness)
I don't have a sleeping preference. I roll around alot during the night.
Sex drive is the same as before
