Suicide Car Bomber Kills 8 In Attack West of Baghdad
Published: Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 9, 2010 at 12:02 a.m.
BAGHDAD | A suicide car bomber struck a police patrol west of Baghdad on Sunday and killed eight people, most of them civilians standing in line outside a post office to collect the monthly stipend for the country's poorest, police officials said.
The blast comes just a day after explosions tore through a market in the south, killing 43 people. Violence across Iraq has spiked in the past month as the U.S. moves ahead with a major drawdown of its troops set to be completed by the end of the month.
The increase in violence and the U.S. pullout have raised concerns about whether Iraqi security forces are up to the job of keeping militants from destabilizing the country further at a time of political uncertainty over who will form the next government.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, vouched for the preparedness of Iraq's security forces, telling ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that they are ready and able to take over.
Iraq's military, he said, has "stepped up" to the challenge even as its politicians continue to squabble over the formation of a new government and new incidents of extremist violence are reported.
It is critical for Iraq, he added, to form a government after months of delay.
Police said the blast in Ramadi, which also wounded 23 people, took place between a petrol station and an abandoned cinema.

Common Ship Items Still "Bound"
Are we ever going to be able to dump these "bound" common items that came with our new ships since a patch or two back? I don't care about trading it, but at least let me feed it to the NPC vendors like all my other low Mk "bind on equip" stuff.
The problem was that people were abusing C-Store ships, continuously claiming, then discarding them only to strip the ship equipment to sell... To address the issue, items on the ship were made unsaleable to vendors, and is unlikely to change. Ships that are gain by leveling, (or purchased from the Ship Vendor), do not have the limitation, and you can sell or transfer their equipment...

Effective Job Application and Networking Tips
Savvy Community: Got Effective Job Application Tips?
Like us on Facebook
How can I apply more effectively? I try to network, but I often submit my resume online. It seems like I'm just wasting my time.
Share your proven tips and suggestions with her in comments, and ask your own questions in our group.

i've been looking for work quite a bit too. besides sending a thoughtful cover letter every time, you've got to work your network. don't just send a mass email to your friends asking them to keep their eyes peeled for positions that will fit you, but after you've applied (especially online) tell everyone you know and ask if they know anyone at the organization or could put in a good word for you. even if it's a friend of a friend of your mom's hairdresser, it will help get your resume to the top of the pile.
last thing, especially with online submission, make it personal. when applying, address your cover letter to your potential boss. if no information is listed, google it! see what comes up. when worse comes to worse, address it to the director of HR.
also, read the job descriptions. edit your resume to touch on pertinent responsibilities (don't lie, make connections). also, address as specifically as you can why your experience is a good fit for the open position.
good luck! we're hitting the pavement together!

Speaking of proofing, blue....
Any tips to stand out in a positive way? I know when I'm applying online I'm just 1 in a million and it's hard to move from someone not hating your resume to actually picking up the phone and calling you!
4 years
I have been in the process of trying to hire a person for our office and have been sifting thru a stack of resumes. A few tips:
1. If the ad states sending a resume and cover letter. Do both. Don't send a generic cover letter either. Mention the position open, where you saw the ad (if applicable) and share a little information about yourself and your abilities. If you only send a resume it comes off as if you didn't care to put any work into applying for the job (same goes with a generic cover letter).
2. Use spell-check and proofread. I don't know how many times I've seen "ad" spelled "add". Also, I've notice that a lot of people will compose sentences filled with buzzwords that make absolutely no sense.
4. Do NOT LIE on your resume. I'm really surprised how many people have said that they have experience on paper but at the interview will admit they really have no experience. That will get you a swift kick out the door.
5. Lastly, put a pleasant message on your phone. I'm not impressed when I get rapping, slangy, "funny", rude (trying to be "funny") voice mail messages when I'm trying to call and schedule an interview.
Overall, try to stay positive. With this economy, it's going to take a little time but if you stay dedicated and organized when you send resumes something good will happen. Good luck!

Successful Zoe To Zoe Strike Out Cancer Project
All eight SCIAC schools pitch inPosted: Monday, April 15, 2013 01:44 pm PST
Jeffrey Feldman, Little Zoe and Big Zoe (front L to R) pose with the 2013 Regals softball team before a doubleheader with Pomona-Pitzer on Strike Out Cancer day.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The smiles from "Little" Zoe Feldman and "Big" Zoe Ballen as they sat playing in the dirt before a doubleheader at Hutton Field on Saturday morning were priceless. On a day when SCIAC softball games were set to take place, it was the best friends, a three-year-old cancer patient and a 12-year-old Helping Hands founder, who were the center of attention.
Cal Lutheran hosted Pomona-Pitzer as one of four sites on Saturday participating in a fundraiser for the Zoe to Zoe Strike Out Cancer Project. Softball Bingo was played and general donations were collected. Overall, five campuses sponsored events at softball games over the weekend and joined forces to raise $1,857, which will all be donated to the Feldman family of Agoura Hills.
After meeting both teams and throwing out ceremonial first pitches, Little Zoe with a little help from her father, Jeffrey, and Big Zoe firing a fast-pitch strike to CLU starting catcher Shannon Tinsleythe teams converged in front of the plate for a photo opportunity as a united group.
The story started nearly a year ago when Little Zoe was diagnosed with sarcoma botryoides, a rare type of malignant tumor that appears in the muscle tissue attached to the bone. Only several hundred new cases are identified each year in the United States. Since her diagnosis she has endured 42 weeks of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries.
Throughout the entire process the motto of the family has been: We Got This! Along with the high spirits, the medical bills also grew to significant heights, forcing a number of fundraisers to be generated to aid the family. Because of those efforts, the Feldman family grew a special fan, friend and supporter.
Big Zoe, a 12-year-old pitcher was at a softball tournament where she saw the flyer about raising money for Little Zoe. While they had never met, Big Zoe was drawn to Little Zoe and decided to start raising money on her own. She began collecting donations for the Feldman family for each strikeout during her summer softball season and by June of 2012, the two Zoes had not only met, but had become friends.
Big Zoe has since started her own group – the Zoe to Zoe Helping Hands Project, which encourages others to do good deeds. Big Zoe has spoken to numerous groups, encouraging them to reach out to others. Both Zoes have had tremendous impacts on others.
This weekend was an example of the eight SCIAC softball programs coming together to reach out to the Feldman family and fighting cancer in the third annual Strike Out Cancer games.
Donations can still be made. For more information please contact Debby Day, head softball coach at Cal Lutheran, at email@example.com.

Tomana retired as a research professor of medicine in the Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology in July 1997 after working almost 40 years at UAB.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an increased risk for shingles, but new research at UAB indicates that biologics – the newest RA medications – don't worsen that risk.
Kenneth Saag, M.D., co-authored a review of five tests and treatments used in rheumatology that should be questioned and discussed between doctors and patients.
A new round of grand funding will allow researchers to study the HIV and tuberculosis epidemics.
Genetic changes that protected their ancestors against fly-borne parasites may partly explain why African-Americans with lupus are up to five times more likely to develop end-stage kidney disease than those of European descent. This was the conclusion of a study presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Scientific Sessions in Washington, D.C.

That is proof. But yet again they know everything having gone to school for every subject there is apparently I'm assuming that because I never got an answer plus I think these fellow people think they know everything there is to know about everything in the world. Yes once I read this back it may make less sense than when I thought of it in my head but I'm letting it go. |

Carl Cox has signed on to play a gig to benefit the learning disability awareness group Mencap, scheduled for October 4th at Electric Brixton. The veteran techno jock and Ibiza stalwart will be lending his name to a very good cause: Mencap, as their website states, "works with people with a learning disability to change laws, challenge prejudice and support them to live their lives as they choose." He joins the likes of U2 guitarist The Edge and BBC Radio 1's Jo Whiley in having worked to spread word of the organization.

A $20.9 million pool renovation in Eden Prairie: Has it joined Chaska in out-amenity-ing Scott County?
With a fancy community center complete with renovated aquatics in next-door Chaska, some Shakopee residents were already green — or maybe blue — with envy.
Shakopee City Council member Kathi Mocol says people tell her they want a pool more than any other amenity.
"I hear more and more that, 'I go to Chaska,'" she said. "I think they are looking for a community-based pool, not a gym membership."
This summer, another neighboring suburb is making a big jump forward in that same department.
Eden Prairie is diving into a $21 million project to replace its existing pool and add two new lap pools, as part of a 32,000 sq. foot addition.
Now the question is what impact might it have in a place like Shakopee, which has struggled for years to get such projects done.
Watching other suburbs race to build new recreational facilities while Shakopee treads water is concerning, Mocol said.
"I hear that over and over again: If this community is doing that, why can't we?" she said.
Jamie Polley, Shakopee's parks and recreation director, agreed that the desire is there: "Long term, yes, we would love an aquatic facility," she said.
But unlike other suburbs that are rushing to build pools, ice rinks and sports domes, Shakopee voters have been reluctant to add amenities, despite a growing population.
Three public referendums proposing community center updates have failed in 15 years, including two in 1999 and 2005 that proposed adding a pool to the community center.
The struggle will sound familiar to folks in Eden Prairie, which has a similar history of failed referendums to fund improvements to their community center's 30-year old pool.
Creative and controversial
Eden Prairie's pool project shows that when voters won't pony up, some cities are willing to find creative — and controversial — ways to pay for projects.
The updates will be funded not by referendum dollars, but by $2.5 million to $3 million from the city's capital improvement fund, $17.1 million in tax abatement bonds and $500,000 from the Foxjets, a youth swimming club that uses the pool to practice.
"I can see why they would look at doing that," Mocol said of Eden Prairie's funding solution.
Eden Prairie's Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens called the pool improvements "a tremendous asset to the community." She added that the city has heard about the need to replace the aging pool for 12-15 years.
Not everyone is thrilled about the pool: In the last year, some residents have criticized the lack of a public vote.

Agree with many already suggested .....eryngiums are a must but check out eryngium Jade Frost. ,it's a beauty and different.
Mesembryanthemums, gazanias, etc. look so good in gravel. They love the reflected heat from,the sun. There are some stunning upright osteospermums too....perhaps a little tender for some areas but so easy from cuttimgs that they can be kept from year to year. Linum perenne, the blue flax, has womderful glaucous delicate foliage and the most exquisite blue flowers all summer. Can you plunge aeonium Schwarzkopf there too?
These may not be "beach" plants but they look good in gravel. The Noah's Ark Juniper.....sorry name escapes me for mo.....is a small upright, slow growing conifer that I Iove on the rockery will look nice in gravel. For different shape another juniper...Blue Star....is a blue foliaged bun shaped plant. a yellow leaved santolina called lemon fizz is worth checking out too. I grow this on a free draining wall and it's evergreen bright yellow foliage is charming. How about Tulbaghia? Silver/blue/white/grey slender foliage with pink flowers ....again set in gravel looks very nice. Many hardy geraniums ESP the cushion ones will look good.....black Beauty is a gem with purple compact foliage. and gentian blue flowers. Arabis Ferdinandi coborgii (?) is a lovely variegated Arabis with sparkling white flowers in spring.
Getting carried away here and strayed off "by the sea" request.
(juniperus communis compressus....Noah's ark juniper. Had to look it up)
Busy morn but now hanging around for a delivery due this pm. However, it's a beautiful, sunny calm day......between the odd shower....so managing to pot on a few things and grab a cuppa whilst talkIng here. It's so tempting to get onto to,the veg patch...bit raking.
Re.siliconed glass panels in GH so they are much firmer now too. Impatiently staring at dead looking.....Just dormant of course.....plants in GH urging them to show little shoots. Amazing what pleasure a little green shoot gives at this time of year
YOU HAVE TO RED. The collections don't seem to be that generous. Get your hellebore, sarcoccoca and something else. Next year you will have a cutting from sarcoccoca growing anyway ............have I won the day?

Good drainage is essential. They like as much sun as possible.
Considered aconitum? They do well in partial shade and some flower for ages from mid summer. But, Verbena bonariensis will do well in partial shade as well as in the sun ....not many better for height and long flowering
Red, I did check out on line ....jacksons nursery, etc., .....but because sarcoccoca is not a rare plant it should become available soon in GC so I would wait if you don't really fancy paying some of these (high) postal charges. If you bought a sIngle plant from Jacksons or woottens it would obviously be cheaper!
Or, instead of paying out for woottens collections why not get another plant from them ....hellebore, anything.....to offset the carriage charge? Not sure, but I think the carriage would be same for 2 plants as for one and you have the fun of 2 new additions to your garden.
Lovely Marion
I have replaced a rosemary with another and did so in the same spot. It
has been slow and vigour generally nothing like rosemarys I have planted elsewhere. I have found this to be the case in many plants.
Sybille, if it is important to you to have another rosemary there then fine (I do think you will be disappointed in its performance though ) could you not plant something else there instead? Maybe a choisya, daphne, or winter honeysuckle if you wanted scent there? Or a buddleia for summer flowers, anything! . Besides, I like to ring the changes in such circumstances ....try something different
I would read his books with great interest and curiosity but prob would not garden his way.
Just checked out woottens offer re sarcoccoca. Did you want 3 plants? I think one is enough then you can propagate to get more if you so desire. .???
Why not phone your GC and ask if they have any in stock or are any coming in.
Morning sybille
I think it's come to its end. They usually aren't very long lived at the best of times but cutting off that old branch was the final straw.
There won't be any cutting material so I would dig it up ASAP. Dont plant another rosemary there though

Brave Reviews

Super Reviewer
October 18, 2011
Obviously this is a mish mash of several different film concepts rolled up into one, but the end result was pretty great. "Brave" focuses on Princess Merida, who lives in the Scottish Highlands with her parents and three younger brothers. The first premise of the film is that Merida has to marry a suitor from one of the rival clans of the Highlands. The other premise surrounds her mother being transformed into a bear. It seems that these two concepts have trouble merging seamlessly, because we're aware as an audience that there's a shift. Her mother as a bear yields some pretty hilarious effects, and lends to the overall narrative of listening to one another and learning from your mistakes. I think the reason it still felt strange was that Merida's exploits didn't feel all her own. In fact, the story was centered more around the mother than her daughter: her mother is the one who has a spell cast upon her, her mother saves her daughter from being attacked, and her mother must get back to her original form. Merida causes more problems than she solves, and though she battles against the villain as well, she isn't the main focus at all times. That and the villain is kind of shoehorned in in the last section of the film. The film does employ magic in a way that moves the narrative forward and lends to some interesting visuals. It was also great having a female heroine who doesn't deal with marriage or romance in her plot, and is headstrong, which we could use in more films for children.

At the heart of this Pixar offering is a tale of first, a mother/daughter falling out and then, their eventual reunion. The vocal talents are exemplary (with Emma Thompson leading the way) and , true to form, Pixar's legendary animation knows no equal. The delving into the whole Scottish myth and fable was nice and interesting path to take, if reminiscent of How To Train Your Dragon, and so what then? The story meanders into the woods a bit is all. Something about bears. There's a witch, too. The witch is cool. Nonetheless, Pixar, eh? You can't go wrong there, can you? |

This is Pixar's first film with a female lead, and, while it had a lot of potential and promise, it basically just ends up being a rehash of previous Disney princess films, only with a Celtic twist. Merida is a strong willed teenage princess who wants to buck tradition and be a free spirit instead of fulfill the typical role of a girly princess. Her actions lead to chaos throughout the kingdom, and her dealings with a witch force her to undo a potentially devastating curse. Like I said, this had a lot of potential. It ends up sticking to tradition and convention, but, even then, it's still decently well done. It's just a shame that they couldn't bring themselves to completely break away from tradition and forge new territory. There are at least a few tweaks to the formula that elevate the proceedings, so that's cool. I liked how both of Merida's parents are alive or even present, as this is a rare thing in Disney/Pixarland. And it's nice too that the film focuses heavily on the mother/daughter relationship. It's just a bummer that the film keeps up the trend of having the heroine be a strong willed rebel who wants to defy convention. That, and the way this film characterizes medieval Scottish culture isn't exactly the most informed or balanced, or deep. The film does at least look pretty though, even if Pixar has made far more visually striking and interesting pictures. And the film is quite watchable and decently paced, but it seems to cater primarily to younger kids over any other demographic. All in all, this is a decent film, but somewhat of a letdown. It's not terrible, but it's far from unique. Still, it has just enough good going for it to keep me from rating it any lower. |

I don't know, I just didn't quite get it. Am I getting too old for weird fairytale plot twists?? Or am I just so ignorant of Scottish mythology that the magic seemed random to me? The mother's scenes were pretty great though. (Not going to reveal any spoilers.)

It's a cute film. It's sweet with a good message. It leaves you with a good feeling which is nice. The visuals are beautiful. However, it is perhaps the weakest film to have come from Pixar (aside from Cars 2) as a result of bad pacing, a lack of solid humor, and actually quite boring and cliche characters. In fact, the film starts off rough and uneven, and I quickly became bored and disinterested in the plot. The twist, though, caught my attention, and the final act was done quite well. The last part of the film doesn't make up for the disaster that is the first act, but it does thrill. Overall, the movie does not really impress, but rather charms (at least in some moments). It feels, though, as if I've seen this movie before, what with overused Pixar tendencies, and a plot that is an awkward mix of Mulan, Brother Bear, Beowulf, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid. Despite the final act, there is nothing really big at stake. Though the characters look pretty, you don't really care too much about them.

Disney's Brave is a wonderful adventure that has all the usual aspects that you'd expect from a Pixar film. The film has a very good story, but at times it could have been better. However the film does have enough charm and wit to appeal to diehard fans of Pixar films, and it manages to be a very entertaining film despite its flaws. The animation is wonderful, but at times the plot has its flaws, and you notice that it could have been better. Pixar have always made great films, but it also could have been done better too. I enjoyed the film, and like I said, it had plenty of good things going for it, but if you put up against other Pixar films, Brave is one of the weaker one. Despite this, the voice actors are good in their roles and the story itself is fun, but is nothing remarkable either. Brave is worth seeing, but it lacks that something special that makes Pixar film so memorable. There is a good plot at work here, but when you compare Brave to others in Pixar's catalogue, you realize that it is slightly inferior. The film does have its moments however and like every other Pixar film, looks wonderful. The animation is the high point of the film, and it overcomes the slightly ordinary story. Brave manages to overcome it flaws, but compared to the others in Pixar's catalogue, it's not as memorable and it could have been better and you see the potential that the film had. Worth seeing if you're a Pixar fan like me, just don't expect another Toy Story or Monsters Inc. for that matter.

im one of the few that defended pixar after "cars 2", but it only took them one more film to actually release the first true "below average" movie. the film was made well, but a bit boring, and completely recycled from earlier disney material. i am infatuated with scottish and irish history and culture, so i was very excited about this film, but it wasnt the story it should have been at all. for all of the scenes of merida with weapons the film had no action, and had nothing to do with conflict or conquest at all. the design and structure had potential, but none of it was realized.

A stubborn Celtic princess butts heads with her equally strong-willed mother over an arranged marriage, but when she unwisely asks for help from a witch the situation gets messy and she must mend her relationship with mom to save the kingdom. The medieval Scotland setting and fairy-tale atmosphere are appealing, and except for below-par comic relief this revisionist princess story lives up to Disney/Pixar's usual high standards.

Change your fate. Great Pixar Movie! Disney does it again! Animation is spectacular, great setting in the Scottish Highlands. Voice acting is above par. While this film may not be up there with Pixar's best, it still has a wonderful story and character interaction. Merida's relationship with her family feels genuine and most children will probably be able to relate. At the heart of the story is her relationship with her mother. This is more than a story about fate, but a story about obligations to family and how growing up means taking responsibility and putting away childish selfishness in place of those responsibilities. Although the core plot is unconventional and unexpected, it has a fantastic heart and once again proves that Pixar can tell a story like no other. Brave is an entertaining, humorous, and heartfelt story that will be wonderful for kids and adults alike. Merida is a wonderful new character and the entire film looks beautiful. Even if you don't have children, I recommend this film if you've loved other Pixar's before it. P.S- Stay till the end of the credits for a lil extra scene. Set in Scotland in a rugged and mythical time, "Brave" features Merida, an aspiring archer and impetuous daughter of royalty. Merida makes a reckless choice that unleashes unintended peril and forces her to spring into action to set things right. |

Choice versus responsibility. Tradition versus personal freedom. Brave, as far as its story themes go, may not blaze any new trails. I mean, how many times before have we not met an unruly princess, who just wants to live a normal life, away from forced betrothals and overdemanding parents? Canvassed from that point of view, Pixar's latest adventure scores no points for originality. Yet, there's something about this old-fashioned fable that really agreed with me. Not just in the artistic sense, for it is indeed visually stunning with its beautiful Scottish scenery. I think the prime reason why I liked it is linked to my avid love for history and derring-dos set in the Middle Ages. Plot-wise, it's a bit on the thin side, but princess Merida is an enchanting character, whose free-spirited nature made for a captivating watch. Add to that the memories it evokes of Mel Gibson's Braveheart (one of my favourite epics of all-time), and there was no way I wouldn't be compelled to follow the journey through. Predictable yes, but also fun and incredibly vibrant, with heartfelt performances from its magnificent voice cast. Billy Connolly alone would have been presence enough to give it soul. So for those prone to labeling this as "one of Pixar's weakest efforts", I can perfectly understand your reasons, but in my book its strengths outweighs the evident familiarity. Maybe not brave enough to aim its arrows for something new, but I for one found myself charmed by this lush and colorful fairy tale. |

The animations were beautiful as well as the voice of the lovely Kelly MacDonald. Right after the amazing short film "La Luna", Brave set the story immediately and brought out the best from the Scottish Highlands. A great addition to Pixar films and redeems them for their misadventures in Cars 2.

The animation is top-notch and a great factor to why it's worth the watch, but although heartfelt and sincere, Brave lacks what other Pixar masterpieces offer which is a deeper sense of plot and a story that's actually worth the wait.

Set in 10th century Scotland this is a fairly reasonable attempt at a dark-ish fairytale by Pixar. Its nice to see some originality being used for the fable and a good effort in keeping some realism or historical accuracy, visually at least, at the same time (I think, looks historically fine). The film looks tremendous, first thing you notice hands down are the visuals. Pixar have really gone to town here and put together some of the most gorgeous vista's I've seen for some time. Scotland has never looked so magical, colourful and enchanting. The rolling greens, rough Highlands, deep dark forests that harbour little blue will-o'-the-wisp's which flitter around and the fiery red hair of the main character 'Merida'. To be utterly brutally honest this is the films one and only high point, the reason for seeing it. The story is akin to your typical fairytale of witches in the woods turning people into beasts which works well but I found myself growing slightly bored. Yes kids will love it but for adults there isn't really anything that will grasp your attention like certain other Pixar films. The film is really aimed at young girls which is quite unique really. The relationship between a young girl and her mother, nothing wrong with that, nice angle but ultimately a bit sickly for the blokes. I found myself liking the characters of 'Merida's' family more, the comical set of stooges from various other clans and 'Merida's' father voiced by Billy Connolly. These guys were good fun and I especially liked the highland games sequence. The plot was kinda weak and merely revolves around 'Merida' trying to reverse a spell, its not even explained why the witch screws her over with the spell, just does. Its also interesting to note the film appears to have no real villain either, not really no, this creates issues for a kids film like this. Family characters and the overall sumptuous feast for your eyes clearly the films plus points. The usual high caliber animation from Pixar naturally but overall the story is kinda thin on the ground, even the musical score could have been better if you ask me. |

"If you had a chance to change your fate, would you?" Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse. REVIEW Pixar rebounds from last year's weak entry with a vivacious, delightful, and exquisitely rendered tale of growing up and independence. Merida's adventures detail her period of adjustment to what society expects from her, and how this might be in direct opposition to what she dreams of becoming. In between we have her mother, the queen, a strong presence who has for years tried to keep things in order in her kingdom. With her jolly husband and her four children, things are a bit challenging. It is time to join the various kingdom with a prearranged marriage, and the day of the tournament, things don't quite go as expected. Soon, Merida has struck a deal with a legendary member of the forest, and things go from bad to worse. This being Pixar, it all happens in a very entertaining way, making the story move fast, with plenty of visual gags, and enough emotions to pull a tear or two from the audience. Merida begins to appreciate what she is about to lose, and she must race against the clock, as a spell will become permanent in two sunsets, unless she is able to realize a way to fix her mother's condition. The film is at best enchanting, as we travel through the Scottish lands and listen to the various clans interact with each other. The film retains a magical aura throughout, even in the most intimate scenes, and how far we have gone with CGI that now it seems to blend or recreate nature in a more convincing way. Kelly McDonald and Emma Thompson give royal performances as Merida and her mother, and it is my pleasure to note that know every single pair of eyes, particularly the mother bear have an incredible real and affecting look. This is a film that will bewitch its audience and extend Pixar's standards to new highs. |

Our custom hand made Front Wheel Drive recumbent Tricycle!
Hello, welcome to DB Trikes webpage. This site showcases our hand crafted Front Wheel Drive Recumbent Tricycle! The FWD design features a compact driveline with a center frame mounted internal differential and dual independent front suspension damping system. A modular construction design allows for quick separation of the front and rear frames for easy transportation in smaller vehicles. The modular design also allows future upgrades and modifications to enhance the enjoyment of your FWD tricycle! We have divided the site detailing the trials and tribulations of building a custom FWD recumbent tricycle from our first effort of recumbent building to the most recent rides! Above picture shows me on the Blue DBT4 prototype leading the group during the riverside ride in Cocoa, Florida! Below picture is a close up showing the drive line detail. While we are sorting out the rear frame design for the DBT4 I've been building a custom "race trike" to test a few things and was able to do a short test ride Saturday October 04 2014: The "race trike" is a custom build to answer some engineering questions relating to aero drag and FWD power requirements and some changes to the driveline. Painted, reassembled and ready to go: We were invited to submit a HPV article for the Human Power News about our FWD builds a while back and the newsletter is out! We are in the November 2014 edition and it's cool that we have come full circle. I used to be a member and loved getting the newsletters in the mail years ago! Please visit the top page links for more information on the FWD concept, early prototypes, ride and build videos plus detailed images of the FWD recumbent Tricycle! Sad news with the recent passing of Stuart Scott. I was interviewed by him in the early 1990's when he worked at WESH TV 2 in Orlando. I was riding my early trike prototype around town and was asked to explain what I was riding! Every time I saw him on TV it made me smile! We'll miss him. Please visit BROL or Bentrider forum to see what's happening in the recumbent world! |

A GRANDMOTHER sentenced to death for drug smuggling could be able to appeal against the decision after £2,500 was donated to her cause.
Lindsay Sandiford, who was sentenced to death by firing squad two weeks ago, failed in a legal challenge to force the UK Government to fund the cost of her appeal.
The 56-year-old, formerly of Redcar, east Cleveland, was sentenced after attempting to smuggle £1.7m of cocaine in Bali.
The mother-of-two, who has been living in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, for a number of years, maintained she had been forced to do it after threats were made against her family.
Today, (Sunday, February 3), charity, Reprieve, announced that an unnamed person had made a £2,500 online donation to cover the cost of the legal challenge.
Harriet McCullough, of Reprieve, said: "It is heartening to see that even if the Government won't help the British public will. But valuable time has been lost."
Her sister, Hilary Parsons, who is in Bali trying to raise funds said: "We are very relieved."

Best hotel in Shanghai
Posted Feb 5, 2015Perfect stay the staff is first rate excellent accommodations.
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom Genova
Posted Jan 20, 2015Hotel assolutamente perfetto e nuovissimo. Nessun appunto negativo (strano per un pignolo come me). Degni di nota la posizione, in pieno centro di Pudong, e la vista. Dalla camera (stupenda e molto grande) con vista sulla torre della televisione (Oriental Pearl Tower) si vedono il Financial Center (grattacielo che assomiglia a un cavatappi) e la Shangai Tower, il secondo grattacielo più alto del mondo. Entrambi i grattacieli sono a due passi dall'Hotel. Inevitabile fotografarli in continuazione. Il personale è disponibile e qualificato. Al primo piano c'è un ristorante degno di nota: il migliore in cui siamo stati a Shangai (meglio di quello del Park Hyatt situato all'interno del "cavatappi"). Consiglio il brunch della domenica. C'è anche una navetta gratuita che ti porta dove vuoi a Pudong. Tutto superlativo. Fantastica la piscina all'ultimo piano e la palestra. Consigliatissimo.

Met our (high) expectations
Posted Dec 27, 2014Pros: Staff knew my name!
Cons: If the "don't clean room" button has shown for over 24 hrs, it might be worth checking the guest meant to push it. It's located next to a light switch
We spent our final two nights at Four Seasons Pudong after 3 years in Shanghai (Puxi). Our room had outstanding views back to the Bund (39th floor) and the Club level afternoon tea and cocktail hour made for an even more enjoyable stay. We had an issue with housekeeping but I believe it was a genuine misunderstanding and hardly life-threatening! Staff were pleasant and accessible during our stay. The cost for airport transfer is outrageous - take a taxi! Din Tai Fung is located 5-min walk from hotel. The pools (infinity and jet-spa) were wonderful - luxurious, clean, not busy and well served by attentive staff. We loved every minute of this hotel experience.

Good service and cozy hotel
Posted Dec 23, 2014Pros: Good location, right next to the World Financial Centre. More than good service! The hotel staff can speak and understand good English!
Cons: Only thing I am not satisfied with...When both of the guests can understand English, why not speak in English so that all of us know what's happening?
Location: Business District
Thanks to the hotel staff, our stay was prefect. We arrived with an incident that the taxi driver wanted to charge us an abnormal fare and the driver refused to go to the main entrance of the hotel. The bellman was helpful that he was willing to go outside of the hotel to search for us and talk to the driver. Although the driver released us from the car before the bellman came, the bellman's action is highly appreciated. The lobby is neat. When we check-in, the room was not ready. The front desk agent sent us to the club lounge to wait. When we arrived the lounge, we were greeted by names and the club lounge attendant introduced the facilities to us and updated the room status to us. The scenery of the club lounge is gorgeous. We can see the Pearl Tower and we are right next to the tallest buildings of Shanghai. After having a cup of coffee, our room was ready and the room, of course, as usual for Four Seasons, clean and luxurious. Facilities are good, the mini-bar was impressive. On the other day I went to the concierge and asked for direction to subway station. I think the station is 10-15mins walk away. It was surprising that the concierge arranged a shuttle (a 7-seater) to send us there without charging us. That really exceeds our expectation. As an ex-hotelier, I have to say this stay was prefect and the staff of the hotel are gorgeous!

Stunning hotel
Posted Nov 8, 2014 on Hotels.comStunning quality hotel that is only 2 years old. High end interior design and very attentive staff. No complaints other than one tiny thing; no milk provided in the room even though it had a coffee machine. It's in a good location in Pudong 15 min walk from the Pearl Tower and 10 mins walk from the metro and several big shopping malls.

NC09 Semifinals - The Rematch Week! Sunday 25 October 2009 @ 21:58 EDT Four matches were played last week on maps Snowtown & Northport. Four teams were eliminated, while four advanced to the semifinals. ... The search for the "Greatest TCE Nation of 2009" is slowly coming to an end... Why are we calling this week the "Rematch" week? Finland & Japan battled during the NC07 semifinals on maps Stadtrand & Vorort. Two years ago, Finland came out on top 11-9. This week, they face each other again during the semifinals on Stadtrand. Will history repeat itself for Japan - or will they reverse NC07's outcome? Or will Finland once again be victorious and advance to the finals? Turkey/Croatia & France did not face each other during NC07's semifinals - instead they did during the quarterfinals. The maps then were Delta & Frostbite and TK/HR defeated France 11-9 (contrary to a lot of the predictions). Will France discard their "Most Overrated" reputation and carry on to the finals? Or will Turkey/Croatia repeat their NC07 quarterfinal - and NC09 Week 6 - victory over France on Frostbite? We'll find out this week! Predictions are now up @ Prediction League! Only a few more matches to go - so make sure you don't forget to predict! ;) I hope everyone involved in NC09's semifinals has a great week, and I'll be back next Monday to announce the Championship Match (and Bronze Medal Match). Ariel, you rock! :) Posted by Diane Category: NC09 |

Read Review of TracFone Online Service
A great phone for occasional use and emergencies.
Jan 23, 2004 (Updated Jun 8, 2007)
Full Review
Analysis of a TracFone Prepaid Wireless brochure
First, let me compliment the other review authors, as I have found all of the reviews so far to be helpful and informative!
Also, I have created a website with more details about my experience with TracFone than what would fit here.
That website is www.cell-phone-prepaid.com if you are interested. If not, then I apologize for my shameless self-promotion!
Just to do something a little different for this review, I thought that I would walk through a TracFone brochure that I have here in front of me and give details and insights about the various selling points. I hope you find this format useful.
The Front Cover
The cover of the brochure says that TracFone offers wireless service as low as $7.99 per month with the purchase of a 1 year prepaid wireless service card.
The 1 year service card will keep your phone active for, you guessed it, one year! It will also put 400 'units' on your phone. This card currently costs $99.99 on the TracFone website. $99.99 divided by 12 comes out to about $8.33 per month, but you can't pay it monthly. You have to pay the entire $99.99 up front to buy the card.
If you have more minutes on your phone than you plan to use, TracFone has a value plan that will keep your phone active for $4.95/month, but it won't add any minutes to your phone. You'll have to buy more airtime if you run low.
There a 2 requirements for a TracFone to work:
1) The phone has to be active
2) The phone has to have unused airtime units
I say airtime units because the way it works is that your phone uses 1 unit per minute for calls sent or received while you are in your local calling area. It uses 2 units per minute for calls while you are outside of your local calling area.
TracFone does have what they call "single rate" phones now that have a somewhat smaller nationwide coverage area, but there is no roaming charge. Whenever you make a call it simply deducts one unit per minute.
When you redeem a normal airtime card it will put the airtime units on your phone and extend the activation due date another 90 days.
The Inside of the Brochure
The inside of the brochure starts off by listing several features of the service.
Free Voice Mail
(digital models only) - Actually, I think that all of the models they sell now are digital. There are good instructions on the website on how to setup the voicemail on your phone.
You will actually be setting it up with the local cellular provider and not with TracFone itself. This is because TracFone does not actually own the cell phone towers, they just rent cellular phone numbers from local cellular providers. My local provider is Alltel, and my TracFone works just the same as my friends that have Alltel phones.
Free Caller ID
(digital models only) - I don't remember having to do anything to set this up. It just works.
Free Call Waiting
(digital models only) - I have never had a reason to try out the call waiting feature. I usually leave my phone turned off to conserve the battery, and I only give out my number to people when I have a specific reason for them to be calling me in an agreed-upon time frame.
Nationwide Long Distance Included
- You never pay any extra for long distance. All that matters is whether you are in our out of your local calling area. My local calling area covers a large portion of the western half of Missouri. Again, with the single-rate TracFones, which most of them are now, your home area is nationwide.
Pay As You Go
- That's what so great about having a TracFone. There are times when it comes in very very handy, but you're not locked into long and expensive monthly contracts.
By the way, your airtime minutes never expire as long as you keep your phone active. Some other prepaid cellular plans will actually delete any airtime minutes that you don't use by the end of the month. Ouch! Whenever you buy a new TracFone airtime card, the new minutes are just added to your old minutes.
Nationwide Service
- TracFone claims to cover 99% of the US population, and I have no reason to doubt them. I have taken mine out into rural areas and was still able to get reception.
Available At Over 60,000 Retail Locations
- I ended up buying mine at a local Staples store. I could have got a better deal by ordering it from the TracFone website, but I was in a hurry to have before the weekend. I have seen TracFones at many of the large retail chains, and I have even seen them at small mom-and-pop gas stations.
I have noticed that the best deals on the phones themselves can usually be found on the TracFone website. They are almost always running some sort of special offer. Otherwise, the cost of the phones is pretty similar at the various retailers.
I have noticed that online stores like amazon.com and walmart.com sometimes have a slightly better price on the airtime cards. Since TracFone uses common Nokia and Motorla phone, you should be able to find accessories for your phone almost anywhere.
No Activation Fees
- This is a great benefit of TracFones. Outlandish activation fees have always been one of the main reasons why I didn't want to sign up with a tradition cellular plan. They want you to pay $50 or more just for the privilege of signing a one or two year contract with them!? Forget it! I went with TracFone instead.
No Contracts
- Another super benefit of TracFones. If you keep your phone for a few months and decide not to use it anymore, just put it in a drawer and forget about it.
If you want to use it again, you can reactivate it later. You would get assigned a new phone number, but if you reactivate within 60 days of when it expired, you keep any unused airtime minutes from your old number.
No Credit Checks
- Since it's all prepaid, they don't care about your credit history. This may or may not be a big issue for you.
No Deposits
- The only money you pay up front is the purchase price of your phone and your first airtime card.
No Age Limits
- A TracFone is a perfect phone to give to a teenager. If they use up all of the minutes on their phone, then it will stop working until they buy more minutes. That way you don't get a big surprise in your cell phone bill at the end of the month!
For instance, my brother added his teenage son to their account with a traditional cellular provider. One night, his son talked with his girlfriend for over 5 hours on the cell phone, while in the house, with the home phone right there! Ah, teenage love... Needless to say, my brother was not pleased with the bill he received that month!
No Surprises
- The example above illustrates this benefit perfectly. Also, every TracFone has and Airtime Balance Display right on the main screen of the phone that shows you how much airtime you have left and your activation due date.
That makes it very easy to keep track of your time and plan accordingly. Furthermore, TracFone airtime cards already include all wireless taxes and fees that are tacked on to traditional cell phone bills. So when you buy an an airtime card, you know exactly how many minutes it's going to add to your phone.
The Rest of the Brochure
The rest of the brochure basically just summarizes some of the same points I have already made above.
One thing it mentions is that you can activate your new phone by calling their 800 number or by accessing their website. You will definitely want to do it over the internet because it easier and they'll give 10 extra free airtime minutes.
The website had complete instructions on how to activate the phone, and it took about 10 minutes to complete the process. After that, it took about an hour for the phone to be activated with Alltel. Then I was good to go.
Overall, the TracFone service lives up to the claims made in the sales brochure. My TracFone is the Nokia 5180i, and it has worked well for me. I usually just leave it in my glovebox, and it has worked every time I have needed it. I must admit, though, that I am drooling over the new motorla flip phones that TracFone is now selling!
My wife's parents also bought TracFones, and her grandma has owned one for a couple of years. I was interested to see how easy it was for grandma to activate her phone and add airtime minutes! I thought it was easy, but the real test was passed when I saw that grandma could do it too.
As has been mentioned in other reviews, the main negative with TracFone is with customer service. I once sent them a question by email, but never received a reply. I have found that it's important to be persistent when dealing with their customer service. Of course, that's the case with most other telecom companies as well.
If you are looking for a solid cell phone for emergency use and the occassional "I'm on your side of town, are you home?" type of call, then TracFone may be right for you. I can honestly say that I have been very pleased with mine.
Keith Tyndall
(I apologize for the shameless self-promotion, but I keep my website more up-to-date that what is possible or practical with a review like this.)
