Carbon Express Heart Attack Arrows - 6 Pack
I've only shot one so far but I hit a squirrel from about 20 yards.so seems good enough for me.i got them just to practice/play around with because they were so cheap.these arrows are the best bang for your buck.no pun intended!
December 30, 2014
Shoots Well
Seems to shoot well into a target. Haven't shot with broad heads yet. Good price.
November 20, 2014
Poor construction
The insert would not stay in the shaft, even after applying a little clue. Lost the inserts and arrowheads after the first shot.
November 10, 2014
This product was a free gift with the purchase of a bow.
I appreciate the free offer, but I must return the arrows because they are the wrong size for my bow. Unfortunately, the Dick's in my area did not have the correct size either. I am bummed that I will have to wait another 2 or 3 weeks to shoot my new bow.
November 9, 2014
Great value!
Performance at a great price. Hope they keep making the Heart Attack arrow.
September 28, 2014
good arrow for the price
I have killed 5 or 6 deer with these arrows they shoot fairly well I can put them in the heart of my 3 -d deer target at 30 yrds. they drift a little farther out but some of that is me. if you are hunting on a budget buy them. they work well with a swacker broad heads they shoot the same place as the field tips. my son used a different brand arrow and they wood shoot high with broad heads . so bottom line they work for the money a good arrow.
September 5, 2014
Nice price
Nice quality arrow for a great price shoots straight
February 25, 2014
Heart ATTACK!
I just got into bow hunting seriously this year. My "bow guy" at the local Dick's hooked me up with these. all in all I would say that these arrows are great they fly stright and true most of the time. The only issue i've had is around the head where the insert goes in on 2 of the 12 arrows I got cracked. they always hit the target, not the wood or the ground but a speed bag. I must have shot them over 300 times tho so being that I am new to hunting I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing from wear and tear. I went back and got 6 more. I would reccomned this to someone else and I will continue to use.
September 19, 2013
they great
I've been shooting and hunting with Heart Attacks for years. They fly well out of both my bows, accurate even at higher speeds, and penetrate great. They are fairly durable. In three years two broke and one was because a deer rolled over on it. Still on y first dozen minus the two that boke. I have shot six deer with them and prefer them over Easton's. I will buy another six before the season opens.
September 15, 2013
Great arrows for the price!
I upgraded to these arrows from the Easton Raiders and i love their accuracy. Fly much straighter than the Raiders and seem to have more punching power as well. Thus far i have killed two deer with them at 40 yards and have will continue to buy more of these arrows in the future.Only had minor cracks near the nock but that has been due to winging arrows into the ground.

Flaps down I have 100% differential programmed... IE only up deflection and turning isn't much of an issue. |

A rudder makes a plane more fun to fly IMO. This past summer I got into some super strong thermals down low and had my glider hooked so tight I know it couldnt of happened without my rudder. Im sure I could have been flatter and much more efficient but Im into this for kicks as well and the darn thing was super cool to see literary climbing like crazy in about a 10 ft radius
Concerning performance. I believe rudderless has a advantage for launch ,sink rate but down low [below 30 ft] rudders rule. |

Also rudders are useful for landing and when playing tag with trees. I've handed planes with rudders to people and had them be amazed by the launch height. It is how you set it up.
I'm solidly in the rudder camp. I rarely need a lighter plane. Gerald PS - I'd suggest flying helo a bit for those who lack good control of their left thumbs. |

I love my rudder to pieces!
Earlier this summer, I broke my pull/pull rudder connection. I decided to try flying rudderless for a couple of weeks, partly to check it out, and partly because i did not have the time to do the repair. I simply taped it up, and tossed it. I belive i might have gained a few extra feet on the launch, but flying without rudder really lessened the flying pleasure imo.
The joy of making a perfect coordinated turn is such a big part of my passion for unmotored aviation, so mayby I don`t need that extra axis, but I love it, and will never, ever again part with it. I don`t compete (yet), but I fly alot, and i want my plane to look good in the air. Nice coordinated turns makes it look good, and that makes me happy. Rudder makes me happy. |

Bumpy stretch of Highway 101 north of Windsor to get repair
Motorists driving on Highway 101 between Windsor and Geyserville, a bone-jarring stretch of road long ranked as one of the worst in the Bay Area, are set to receive some much-needed relief.
After more than a year of lobbying by Sonoma County transportation officials, Caltrans is in line to receive $67 million to repave 14 miles of Highway 101 north of Windsor. The California Transportation Commission is expected to award the funding at its meeting today.
The project aims to repair an outdated concrete surface that, while traveled by far fewer commuters than other stretches of highway south of the county's major cities, has grated on motorists and transportation officials long enough to make it a state priority. The move comes after more than $1 billion has been spent south of Windsor to remake the transportation landscape in the southern two-thirds of Sonoma County, including highway expansion and interchange projects and a future commuter rail line.
North county officials said the highway upgrade was long overdue.
"As anyone who drives this corridor knows, your teeth start to rattle as soon as you head north of Windsor," said Supervisor Mike McGuire, a Sonoma County Transportation Authority board member. "Repairing this stretch of highway will make it safer for commuters and, after 30 years of a bumpy ride, fix one of the worst stretches of highway in the North Bay."
The project, set for construction in 2016 after design work and environmental review, will replace the four lanes of potholed concrete with a smooth layer of asphalt. Caltrans spokesman Allyn Amsk said the roadway was built more than three decades ago using concrete, which generally lasts longer.
But the road has apparently reached the end of its life span. City and transportation officials say the project will help boost tourism and commerce in northern Sonoma County.
"How many of us travel north of Windsor when all of a sudden you hit that same bloody pothole and your head hits the ceiling?" said Cloverdale Mayor Carol Russell, a board member on the transportation authority. "We need good infrastructure for a good economy. It's essential."
The funding comes from the State Highway Operations and Protection Program, which uses federal and state gas tax revenue to maintain the state highway system. The allocation does not require a local funding match, meaning money from Measure M — the local sales tax increase voters approved in 2004 for road and highway projects — will not have to be tapped for the upgrade.
The state funds cannot be used for what is arguably the region's top highway priority — the ongoing widening of Highway 101 through the Sonoma-Marin Narrows, a much more heavily traveled stretch that currently faces a $250 million shortfall. According to Caltrans, 85,000 cars per day travel through the Narrows compared with 48,000 north of Windsor and 28,000 north of Healdsburg.
Likewise, the money cannot be used to repave ailing county roads, which have deteriorated under a chronic funding shortfall in the past decade or more. County officials hope that a quarter-cent sales tax measure, proposed for the March 2015 ballot, will provide a new source of revenue to erase the $268 million maintenance backlog for roads in the unincorporated area.
Windsor Councilman Steve Allen, a county transportation authority board member, said the Highway 101 funding comes after dozens of meetings, phone calls and letters between state and local transportation officials. He said many residents from northern Sonoma County have watched in envy as improvements have progressed over the past decade on Highway 101 from central Windsor south to Novato.
"We've been pushing this for quite awhile," he said. "It's been painfully obvious when the paving project going south went into place. As soon as you cross that line, you get bumped and jolted."
"That line" is the Old Redwood Highway overpass in central Windsor, where the new asphalt carpool lanes begin going south and the muffler-rattling concrete slabs head north through the less populated and traveled part of the county.
The paving project will start at that overpass and work north to the Canyon Road offramp in Geyserville. Workers will grind up the four lanes of concrete, use it as a base and lay down asphalt on top.
Work is expected to kick off in spring 2016 with completion estimated for fall 2017.
Drivers could see lane closures and delays during the project, McGuire said.
"Motorists can expect some short-term pain for long-term gain," he said.

The '90s gave birth to Miley Cyrus, and now she's returning the favor by paying homage to the decade of Cross Colors and Saved by the Bell.
In the new Mike Will Made It clip for "23," Cyrus parades around a high school wearing "sexy" Chicago Bulls jerseys and vintage Jordans while making references to Naughty By Nature and MC Hammer. She smokes cigarettes, graffitis the bathroom, and generally runs amok.
Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Zack Morris also join in on the shenanigans, all at the chagrin of the uptight school principal Mr. Belding. Just kidding! Partly.
It's also reminiscent of another '90s classic, Master P's "Make 'Em Say Uhh!" video. Take a look below:

Set operating conditions
setop(h) lists the available values for all operating conditions of the object h. Operating conditions only apply to objects you import from a .p2d or .s2d file. To import these types of data into an object, use the read method. Operating conditions are not listed with other properties of an object.
setop(h,'Condition1') lists the available values for the specified operating condition 'Condition1'.
setop(h,'Condition1',value1,'Condition2',value2,...) changes the operating conditions of the circuit or data object, h, to those specified by the condition/value pairs. Conditions you do not specify retain their original values. The method ignores any conditions that are not applicable to the specified object. Ignoring these conditions lets you apply the same set of operating conditions to an entire network where different conditions exist for different components.
When you set the operating conditions for a network that contains several objects, the software does not issue an error or warning if the specified conditions cannot be applied to all objects. For some networks, this lack of error or warning lets you call the setop method once to apply the same set of operating conditions to any objects where operating conditions are applicable. However, you may want to specify a network that contains one or more of the following:
Several objects with different sets of operating conditions.
Several objects with the same set of operating conditions that are configured differently.
To specify operating conditions one of these types of networks, use a separate call to the setop method for each object.

Chinese wartime forced labourers sue Japanese firms
BEIJING (REUTERS) - A Beijing court accepted a lawsuit on Wednesday demanding compensation for Chinese citizens made by the Japanese to work as forced labourers during World War II, state media reported.
The 37 people who have lodged the suit include lawyers and academics as well as forced labourers and their families, according to Chinese media reports.
Chinese state television said the lawsuit seeks printed apologies carried in Chinese and Japanese newspapers as well as compensation from Mitsubishi Materials and another unidentified company.
"As there is no way to get justice in Japan, the Chinese victims of forced labour and their families are determined to sue in China the Japanese companies which did them harm," Zhang Shan, a member of the class action suit, told the official China News Service.

Forget popcorn. In this hip, loftlike space "dinner and a movie" become one joyous event. Classic films like René Clément's noirish 1960 Purple Noon and Krzysztof Kieslowski's 1990 Blue are projected on a wall in a large inner courtyard while you're served perfectly shucked oysters on the half shell, warm brandade, house-cured sardines, chef-owners' Gayle Pirie and John Clark's excellent fried chicken, bavette steak, or seafood stew from the dinner menu;
or a Dungeness crab panino or chicken-liver pâté from the bar bites menu. Avid filmgoers should keep in mind that it's really more about dining than movie watching here. Kids aren't forgotten, with celery and carrot sticks, pasta with butter and cheese, and two scoops of ice cream for just $7. The adjacent two-level Laszlo Bar has well-executed cocktails and nightly DJs, and the weekend brunch brings throngs of people fighting for a spot on the patio for some of the city's best egg dishes and Bloody Marys.

Best meal we had during a recent long weekend in San Francisco. We had a relaxed, delicious, creative brunch on Sunday. Sat in the courtyard and our server made us feel like the only ones in the place.

Hello - my main account is on Wikipedia. Please talk to me there.
Welcome WikipedianEdit
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!
If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.
First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'. You can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using [[w:pagename]], {{pedia}}
, or {{wikipedia}}
Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects (especially spelling variations), in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in wikipedia:Category:Copy to Wiktionary; they are moved by bot, and will appear presently in the Transwiki: namespace.
A further major caveat is that a "Citation" on Wiktionary is synonymous with a "Quotation", we use these primary sources to construct dictionary definitions from evidence of the word being used. "References" (aka "Citations" on Wikipedia) are used predominantly for verifying Etymologies and usage notes, not the definitions themselves. This is partly to avoid copyright violation, and partly to ensure that we don't fall into the trap of adding "list words", or words that while often defined are never used in practice.
- Note for experienced Wikipedians:
- Wiktionary is run in a very different manner from Wikipedia and you will have a better experience if you do not assume the two are similar in culture. Please remember that despite your experience on Wikipedia, that experience may not always be applicable here. While you do not need to be an expert, or anything close to one, to contribute, please be as respectful of local policies and community practices as you can. Be aware that well-meaning Wikipedians have unfortunately found themselves blocked in the past for perceived disruption due to misunderstandings. To prevent a similar outcome, remember the maxim: be bold, but don't be reckless!
- Having said that, we welcome Wikipedians, who have useful skills and experience to offer. The following are a couple of the most jarring differences between our projects that Wikipedians may want to learn up front, so things go smoothly for everyone. Changing policy pages on Wiktionary is very strongly discouraged. If you think something needs changing, please discuss it at the beer parlour, after which we may formally vote on the issue. You should also note that Wiktionary has very different user-space policies, we are here to build a dictionary and your user-page exists only to facilitate that. In particular we have voted to explicitly ban all userboxes with the exception of
; please do not create or use them.
We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Connel MacKenzie 16:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Wiktionary idiom questionsEdit
By the way, do you have an IRC client? Dvortygirl is usually on irc://irc.freenode.net/wiktionary, and gradually has become our "idiom expert" in terms of reducing a phrase to its most basic lexical form, while leaving redirects for the common forms. She's also much friendlier and helpful than I am. --Connel MacKenzie 17:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, no. I've never got into IRC. Most of my work is done from equipment I don't own or control, and that doesn't have an IRC client, so I'm a bit 'behind the curve' as far as that is concerned. Thanks for pointing out Dvortygirl - I had come across her spoor earlier on today. I'll be less worried about approaching her when the time comes. - WLDtalk|edits 19:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking this project on. We have Category:Idioms where all idioms should go. I would urge you to look through there a bit, if you haven't yet. Please search for variants before you add new ones, since sometimes we have many different sorts of titles for the same things.
- A few notes, and thanks very much for asking. We generally use "one" if a phrase is reflexive as in talk through one's hat and "somebody" (not someone, not you, not he, not me) if it's not: pick somebody's brain. I try, whenever I can, to put something in "lowest terms" linguistically. That is, verbs should be in the infinitive (give somebody the cold shoulder, rather than, for instance, "given"). If something can be both given and gotten, perhaps the verb should be omitted. Every once in awhile, something never, ever happens in the present tense, or only somebody else could possibly do something. If that's the case, use your best judgment. If one or two aren't in quite the right places, it's a wiki and we'll move them, but there's no hard and fast rules about the filing of idioms, anyway. --Dvortygirl 06:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Not so long ago, you had to use a machete if you wanted a sip of pure coconut water. We've taken the machete out of the equation, which is good, because those things are dangerous.
Now all that's left is Mother Nature's most hydrating, refreshing, vitamin- and mineral-rich nectar. Hands down.
Just because you traded jungle gyms for gym memberships doesn't mean you can't take your lemonade with you. Ours is made with natural lemon puree and nutritious coconut water, so it's full of electrolytes that replenish while they quench. Looks like the lemonade you grew up with just grew up.
(Flip to see what's inside!)Pineapples have been cool ever since King Charles II posed for a portrait with one in the 1600s. They also happen to be delightfully sweet and a perfect partner for our hydrating coconut water. We'd like to think if King Chuck were still kicking it today, this is the Vita Coco he'd like best.
(Flip to see what's inside!)Sometimes two fruits are better than one. Take peaches and mangoes, for example: we introduced the dynamic duo to our all-natural coconut water, and voilà, they made it even tastier. Thanks, Peach. Thanks, Mango.
(Flip to see what's inside!)Coffee might be the most famous morning drink, but orange juice is a close second. Bright, tasty, packed with essential Vitamin C—what's not to love? Pulp, that's what. So we took that out and replaced it with our all-natural, super-hydrating coconut water. The result? Orange juice for the win.
(Flip to see what's inside!)When we decided to add a tropical twist to our vitamin- and electrolyte-filled coconut water, we auditioned a whole bunch of really exotic, delicious fruits. Tangy passion fruit and sweet pineapple came out on top, and the coolest fruit punch ever was born.
(Flip to see what's inside!)

Australia See And Do
Sydney has 37 ocean beaches, stretching from North Palm in the north to Cronulla in the south. There are also more than a dozen placid harbor beaches, including the nude or "clothing optional" beaches at remote Lady Bay and Obelisk.
Beaches south of Sydney Harbour
Bondi, Australia's most famous beach, is about four miles from the city center. Finding a parking spot among the surrounding cafes and surf-wear shops is nearly impossible, but if you come early you can stake out a spot on the half-moon of golden sand and settle in for a day of the best swimming, sunning, and people-watching in Sydney. Just south of Bondi is the small bay beach, accessible by the coastal cliff walk (and by bus), called Tamarama—known locally as "Glamarama" for its stylish see-and-be-seen crowd. Bronte, just south of Tamarama and popular with surfers, has a dangerous current most times of the year but also a fantastic park-cum–forested valley that's perfect for picnics. A mile or so farther south is Coogee, a sort of mini-Bondi that's increasingly popular with the young, good-looking backpacker set. There's not much surf here, so it also attracts families with young children. Maroubra, about two miles south of Coogee, is one of the longest and best surf beaches on the south side. It has a burgeoning café scene but is really a locals' beach, quieter than its northern neighbors.
Northern Beaches
Manly, about seven miles north of Sydney via a half-hour ferry ride from Circular Quay or by car from the city center, looks and feels like a holiday resort. The Corso, the main street that connects the beach with the harborside ferry wharf, is lined with boutiques and alfresco cafes. Curl Curl Beach, about four miles north of Manly, is considered the best surfing beach on the north side. It's a picturesque, quiet spot far from the touristy beaches farther south. Palm Beach, about 14 miles north of Manly and known as "Palmie," is locally considered the jewel of the northern beaches. Its beautiful remoteness s the reason celebs have chosen to buy holiday homes here, and visitors tend to be equally flush. Balmoral, about four miles north of the city, is one of the most fashionable harbor beaches in Sydney. It is actually two small beaches separated by an outcropping known as Rocky Point. There's a great view out to North Head and the white lighthouse at Grotto Point. Cute cafes and restaurants line the Esplanade running behind the beach.
It may be the name of Sydney Harbour's busy ferry hub, but Circular Quay also encompasses the wide sweep of foreshore jammed with boutiques, restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and a convenient (though ugly) train station. The ferry terminal, with six wharves, is right in the middle and is the place to board ferries to Manly, Darling Harbour, and Taronga Zoo as well as catch the RiverCat to Parramatta.
The state government–owned ferries are the cheapest way to get around Sydney Harbour. In addition to regular commuter services from Circular Quay, there are three daily harbor cruises with sightseeing commentary. The one-hour morning and one-and-a-half-hour evening cruises make a circuit of the harbor, while the two-and-a-half-hour afternoon cruise winds around the bays of the exclusive Eastern Suburbs, explores Middle Harbour, and goes through the Spit Bridge (yes, through it, because it opens up to let water traffic pass) and into little-known bays. Private companies, including Captain Cook Cruises and Sydney Showboats, have a variety of lunch, dinner, and "entertainment" cruises, with offerings ranging from skimpily clad showgirls to opera singers. For a more sophisticated day out on the water, an outfitter such as Flagship Charters offers stylish yachts—there's even a classic Italian wooden speedboat to create a vintage James Bond moment.
A diver's heaven, the reef is one of the world's biggest underwater preserves, and home to 1,500 varieties of fish and 400 types of coral—not to mention dolphins, dugongs, sea turtles, rays, whales, sea snakes…the list goes on and on. There are more than 5,000 different dive sites spread across the reef's various islets and cays.
Island and beach resorts all provide equipment and lessons for a fee and run daily diving and snorkeling trips to various reef sites. Serious divers often forgo the resort experience entirely and instead spend two to ten days on a live-aboard dive boat. This allows them to make several dives per day and visit the farther-flung sites. One of the best live-aboard dive operators is Mike Ball Dive Expeditions. Ball, a Brit who's been in the scuba business for 30-odd years, runs multiday excursions from Cairns on his state-of-the-art, 100-foot twin-hulled boat (for up to 29 passengers at a time). Divers visit sites like Cod Hole (where they can have close encounters with potato cod the size of small cars); Osprey's Reef (famous for its underwater walls and resident hammerhead and grey whaler sharks); Ribbon Reef (home to the beautiful but deadly scorpion fish and, in June and July, minke whales); and dozens of other sites. Prices start at about $1,000 per person for a three-night, 12-dive trip; all meals, snacks, nonalcoholic drinks, and tanks and weight belts are included (61-74-053-0500 or, in the U.S., 888-645-3225; www.mikeball.com).
If one day of underwater sightseeing is enough for you, there are tons of exceptional sites in easy day-trip distance from the mainland coast. One of the most reputable day-trip operators is Tusa Dive, in Cairns, whose fully equipped boats can accommodate up to 60 divers. Day trips include two or three dives (with all the necessary gear), snorkeling for nondivers, and the optional services of a professional underwater photographer—to show the folks at home you really did encounter that giant manta ray or moray eel (61-7-4047-9100; www.tusadive.com).

This architecturally striking cultural complex in City Centre is built around an undulating paved area, which is encircled by bars, cafés, and restaurants, including celebrity chef Michael Lambie's much-lauded Taxi. The space is a favored warm-weather hangout for Melbournians, and often hosts concerts, mass screenings of sports events, and more. Flanking the Square's soaring atrium is the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, with its extensive collection of Australian art, and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), where you can discuss, create, or watch videos, games, and films. Champions: The Australian Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, on the opposite side of the square, houses an impressive taxidermy model of Australia's most famous racehorse, Phar Lap.
The outer reef—particularly Lizard Island —is home to some of the world's best game-fishing sites. Giant black marlin, sailfish, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, and tuna—as well as barramundi and the picturesquely named sooty grunter—are all plentiful here. Closer to shore, your catch might include red emperor, coral trout, sea perch, and mackerel. Regardless of what part of the reef you're on, the fishing is best between August and December.
If you're game to spend several days hunting down your prize catch, it's hard to beat a charter aboard the Port Douglas–based Phantom. This 65-foot Precision Cruiser (owned by Aussie pop icon John Farnham) is tricked out with all the bells and whistles: state-of-the-art tracking equipment, dual live-bait tanks, top-notch gear and tackle, and a 20-foot tender craft for exploring estuaries. Up to eight people can stay on board at once (you must charter the entire boat); at the end of the day, you can lounge with your friends in the opulent saloon below deck while chef Greg Bull cooks your catch (61-74-094-1220; www.phantomcharters.com.au).
Day-anglers can board the 60-foot luxury Norseman, based in Port Douglas (night charters also are available). Work up an appetite hauling in red emperor or coral trout with rods and hand lines, or use float lines to lure giant trevally and tuna. Then tuck into a smorgasbord lunch while the crew cleans and chills your catch (61-74-099-6668; www.mvnorseman.com.au).

2008 marks the 30th anniversary of Australia's foremost gay pride event: For those who marched in the original, it must seem like a thousand years since the first parade, which was staged to commemorate New York's Stonewall riots. Although police broke up the 1978 Sydney event—violently—it was widely hailed as a defining moment for the gay rights movement in Australia. These days it's more of a family affair, with hundreds of thousands lining the streets of inner Sydney to watch the flamboyant array of floats led by the much-loved "Dykes on Bikes." While parents with young children in tow will find the parade wholesome enough (it's always a fun combination of floats skewering hot-button topics and exuberant, over-the-top campery), the dance party that follows is a hot ticket with international visitors wanting a taste of debauchery. Tickets for the dance party tend to sell out quickly, so be sure to purchase them in advance at Mardigras.org.au, where you can also find a schedule of events.

The three-and-a-half-hour climb up and over the bridge, snaking along the girders, is thrilling, but not for the unfitand best avoided on very windy or wet days. If you're not the superadventurous type, it's also possible to walk across the bridge at roadway level, free of charge, and still take in the views.

More than 200 native Australian wildlife species make their home in this natural bushland setting about an hour and 15 minutes' drive outside of Melbourne. Meander along the paths and you'll encounter kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, dingoes, echidnas, Tasmanian devils, and reptiles in near-natural environs, along with water birds, owls, eagles, parrots, and emus. Maps are available, but it's simpler and more fun to arrange for a tour with one of Healesville's well-informed volunteer guides. Don't bypass the platypus house: You'll never get a better chance to see these strange, shy monotremes up close. And a darkened walk-through area lets you see nocturnal mammals such as the tiny, super-cute possums; hopping desert rats; bilbies; and fruit bats.
Port Douglas
If you're short on time or want a literal overview of North Queensland's two World Heritage Areas, helicopter is the way to go. In an hour-long scenic helitour leaving from Port Douglas, you can pack in a sweeping flight over the Low Isles and Batt and Tongue reefs (hovering to see turtles, rays, and sharks); a stop-off on a pristine coral cay; bird's-eye views of Port Douglas, cane fields, and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area; and a vertiginous foray into Mossman Gorge. It's reassuring to know, as the rotors roar and you strap in, that Great Barrier Reef Helicopters' 11 pilots have clocked in more than 50,000 flying hours—and counting (61-74-035-9669; www.gbrhelicopters.com.au).

The restored 1930s amusement park is back, and entry is free (although the rides themselves will cost you; unlimited day passes are available). Grown-ups can get a rush on the Tango Train or the Space Shuttle, and put the little ones on the vintage carousel. There are also the usual game-of-chance booths, and vendors selling hot dogs and cotton candy (known here as fairy floss). Not gourmet enough? Check out Aqua Dining, suspended above North Sydney Pool between Luna Park and the bridge, for dishes with a uniquely Australian zing—Pacific oysters with lychee and chardonnay, for instance, or seared kangaroo filet (if you can manage to get past the sacrilege of eating the national emblem).

A cool blue refuge in the heart of the city, Australia's only aquarium specializing in Southern Ocean creatures houses 10,000 marine and a few dozen land-based animals in a series of spiral-down displays. Start at ground level with the creepy venomous-critters exhibits, and work your way down to the vast oceanarium. En route, peruse surreal sea jelly displays, kid-friendly touch pools, and a massive coral atoll teeming with tropical fish, moray eels, and sea stars. The aquarium's showpiece, the 600,000-gallon oceanarium, has glass tunnels allowing close-up views of the underbellies of cruising sharks, sea turtles, and massive rays. (Arrive at twice-daily meal times and you'll see these awesome creatures in a feeding frenzy.) Intrepid souls can even arrange to dive in this vast tank (advance bookings are a must, and the cost is $180).

A temple in this sports-mad city, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is also the birthplace of Australia's homegrown football game, Aussie Rules. The high-flying, fast-paced game was originally developed to keep Melbournian sportsmen fit during the winter, but subsequently grew its own fan base. Hugely popular games are held at the grounds each weekend from March till late September. As many as 100,000 fans turn out, and their roar can be heard from blocks away. Guided tours of the grounds run on non-game days; call ahead for tour times. For tickets to games, be prepared to book weeks in advance and even earlier for finals games.

This modernist monolith with the sail-like roof is the largest museum in the Southern Hemisphere, so allow a few hours to do it justice. Six themed exhibition halls explore Australia's complex fauna, flora, culture, scientific legacy, and indigenous heritageand give visitors a sense of Australian society. A highlight is the world's first "living forest gallery," where nearly 8,000 live trees are home to a variety of species including snakes, birds, fish, and frogs. Another must-see is the sensitively curated Aboriginal gallery, Bunjilaka, with its fascinating archival footage, artifacts, and oral histories.

Federation Square's Ian Potter Centre houses the nation's largest repository of Australian art, with some 25,000 works. The three floors of gallery space include an exhibit hall with a nearly comprehensive overview of indigenous artwork, including some spectacular Tiwi Islander works. Upstairs, there's a collection of Australian Impressionist, colonial, and 20th-century art. A second museum, NGV International, is located across the river at the gallery's original home in St. Kilda Road, Southbank. Here, the eclectic exhibits include Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and pre-Columbian antiquities, as well as paintings, photographs, and prints by latter-day masters like Albrecht Dürer and William Blake. Don't miss Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles, one of the NGV's more controversial buys, now worth a small fortune. The gallery's tranquil sculpture garden has works by Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin (180 St. Kilda Rd.; closed Tue.).
The National Gallery of Victoria is closed on Mondays. NGV International is closed on Tuesdays.
About a third of a mile offshore from Melbourne, the 40-square-mile Phillip Island is best known for its resident colony of adorable fairy penguins (about 90 minutes by car or bus, with an additional half hour needed to reach the penguins). Every evening, hordes of camera-toting tourists converge to watch thousands of the fat feathered creatures waddle from sea to burrow; the parade can be witnessed from viewing platforms or from a secluded sand strip with infrared goggles and a naturalist guide. Contact Phillip Island Nature Park for more information (Cowes; 61-3-5951-2800; www.penguins.org.au). Phillip Island also has large colonies of koalas, Australian fur seals, and shearwaters; spectacular coastal walks; and excellent fishing and surfing. Stay overnight at the Glen Isla House, a luxurious country home with an exceptional private dining room and wine cellar (230-232 Church St., Cowes; 61-3-5952-1882; www.glenisla.com); or hole up in an ultra-modern suite at The Hill of Content, which caters to couples (33 Rhyll-Newhaven Rd., Rhyll; 61-3-5965-0100; www.thehillofcontent.com.au).

Make up for it at the delightful Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary just outside Port Douglas, where you're guaranteed close, eco-friendly encounters and Attenborough-worthy photo ops with 180-plus species of native Australian birds, reptiles, and mammals. Wide boardwalks wind through a gigantic walk-through aviary (divided into rain forest, wetland, and woodland environments) and a compact grasslands wildlife park. You'll see bright-plumed parrots, wallabies, 'roos, lizards, crocs, and koalas. Arrive early for the popular Breakfast With the Birds and Lunch With the Lorikeets sessions.
George Street
Just a few streets west from Circular Quay is a neighborhood that seems frozen in time, with a 19th-century pub on nearly every corner. The oldest preserved convict precinct in Australia, The Rocks gained its name from the natural sandstone rock ledges lining Sydney Harbour. A rough area in the late 18th and 19th centuries, today the foreshore is home to a cluster of upscale boutiques, restaurants, and hotels housed in restored wharves and warehouses.

Plants are displayed in major groupings and include a shady rain-forest walk, rose and cactus gardens, fern gullies, a tropical glasshouse, and a delightful children's garden that's also fun for adults (who isn't wowed by gigantic vegetables?). Guided garden tours, including an Aboriginal Heritage Walk, leave from the visitor center near Observatory Gate, which also serves café-style meals, if you haven't packed a picnic.
Mrs. Macquaries Road
Tel: 61 2 9231 8111
This undulating series of gardens wrapped around the southeastern edge of Sydney Harbour was the site of the city's first farm. Today it's an oasis where massive Moreton Bay figs tower over picnicking office workers and joggers, and where the junglelike Palm Grove shelters a colony of fruit bats. Exhibits include the mysterious Wollemi Pine, one of the rarest plants in the world, which was thought to be extinct until its discovery in the Blue Mountains in 1994. On show in the hothouse—otherwise known as the Tropical Centre—is a display that plots the life of an orchid, enticingly entitled "Sex and Death." There are several entrances along Macquarie Street, Mrs. Macquaries Road, and near the Opera House.
Open November to February 7 am to 8 pm, March and October 7 am to 6:30 pm, April and September 7 am to 6 pm, May and August 7 am to 5:30 pm, June and July 7 am to 5 pm.
Cruising the Coral Sea, dropping anchor at deserted beaches, and hopping overboard to snorkel and swim: Could there be a more idyllic way to enjoy the reef? Although the sailing weather is best between June and December if you're north of Cairns, it's fabulous year-round further south—especially around the Whitsunday Islands.
A multiday trip on board a crewed luxury yacht is, obviously, the best way to sail here—and there are tons of posh vessels that make three- to seven-day cruises from Cairns and other mainland ports. One of the most opulent choices is the 60-foot Juston motor sailer appropriately named Bliss, based in Airlie Beach. The boat has three queen-size suites and can accommodate up to eight people; you'll need to book the whole boat ( www.bliss.com.au).
Day-sailing trips are a great option for those on tighter budgets. Cairns-based Ocean Spirit takes groups of between 80 and 100 passengers to the beautiful sand islands of Upolo Cay and Michaelmas Cay on luxury catamarans; the boats have attentive crew members, restaurant-quality food, comfortable decks for sunning, and well-maintained snorkeling gear for passengers who want to get wet (61-74-031-2920; www.oceanspirit.com.au).

Giant stingrays, sharks, huge turtles, and thousands of fish swim right over your head as you walk through this aquarium's feature attraction, an underwater glass tunnel. You could easily spend a whole day here checking out the building's resident fur seals, penguins, saltwater crocodiles, and sharks. If your trip to Oz isn't going to allow you a trip to the actual Great Barrier Reef, there's a wonderful replica here with tons of Technicolor fish.

Are those soaring roof peaks more like giant shells or sails? You can decide for yourself when you take a behind-the-scenes tour and get up close to one of the most recognizable buildings on the planet. You'll learn about its controversial design (architect Jørn Utzon has famously never returned to see his creation after a falling-out with government officials) and the outrageous expenses that were run up during the years of its construction. A cutting-edge array of musical and dance performances are on view at the six indoor theaters. Most shows tend to sell out, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance (61-2-9250-7777). Or if you time it right, you might catch one of the occasional free rock or pop concerts at the outdoor performance venue set against the stunning backdrop of the harbor.

And it only takes a 40-second elevator ride to bring you to the top for views that can stretch for more than 50 miles on a clear day. For those that really want to test their fear of heights, there's the SkyWalk, a newly built platform that lets you walk around the tower's golden turret 880 feet above the city.

Arriving by ferry and then being whisked by cable car high above the animals is the way to make an entrance to this sensational harborside zoo. You can check out the Wild Asia enclosure, where 200 Asian rain forest animals like tapirs, otters, and brightly colored birds make their home. You can also see why the giraffes have the best harbor views in town, or drop into the daily talks and animal shows. There's also a photo op with a koala—although on a busy summer's day you may have to wait a while for your chance to get up close and personal.
Open daily 9 am to 5 pm.
Sydney Olympic Park
Edwin Flack Avenue
Tel: 61 2 8765 2300
A new interactive tour of the biggest stadium in Olympic history lets you relive highlights from 2000—from the Down Under perspective (cheer Cathy Freeman in the 400m!). If the Games aren't your thing, though, you'd do better to visit the stadium when there's a music concert (big-name bands such as U2 play here regularly). Or, if you want to observe Aussies at their most sport-crazed, go when there's a rugby match on.
Tours daily at 11 am, 12:30 pm, 2 pm, and 3:30 pm.
Mareeba Tropical Savanna and Wetland Reserve
Pickford Road
Tel: 61 74 093 2514
An hour's drive southwest of Port Douglas but an ecological world away, Mareeba's wetlands give refuge to hundreds of bird species, including ospreys, sea eagles, black swans, red-tailed black cockatoos, pink-eared ducks, rare Gouldian finches, and Australia's only stork, the Jabiru. The terrific two-and-a-half-hour guided Twilight Safari combines a tranquil bird-watching cruise on a lagoon, a leisurely drive through termite-mound-dotted savanna, and a stop for "billy" tea (boiled in a tin pot over a fire). Back at the visitors' center afterward, you can chat with other wildlife enthusiasts over fine Australian wine, cheese, and (bird)song as the sun sets over Clancy's Lagoon. Call ahead to get detailed driving directions from the reserve staffers.
Closed January to March.
Sydney is one of the world's great walking cities: Its famous coastal tracks are the perfect way to catch the waterfront sights. If you're not a power walker, you can try the mile-long (one-way) Hermitage Foreshore Walk; it starts at Nielsen Park in the harbor suburb of Vaucluse and includes a rock platform with superb views of Sydney Harbour and nearby Shark Island. Slightly longer (about two miles each way), the Bondi to Bronte Coast Walk hugs the foreshore, winding south from Bondi Beach past rocky outcroppings, intricately eroded sandstone, Aboriginal art, and native plants. This is the city's most popular walk, particularly in October and November, when it plays host to Sculpture by the Sea, an exhibition of 3-D art by both national and international artists; the work ranges from the out-there to the sublime (www.sculpturebythesea.com).
A newish route is the Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach Walk, which winds through native bushland and past historic military sites and affords dazzling harbor views. If you're up for a more strenuous trek, the 6.2-mile Manly Scenic Walkway takes between two and four hours one-way. You'll see the lovely Reef Beach and Forty Baskets Beach, the striking Grotto Point Lighthouse, a red gum grove, and bays where hundreds of yachts are moored.
For more information on these walks and others around Sydney, check out the National Parks and the Waverly Council Web sites.
It's hard to wrench yourself away from the water, but once you do, you'll discover that many Barrier Reef islands have great walking trails. Large portions of the islands are designated national parks, with surprisingly varied scenery: Some are shrouded in rain forest; others are rocky and mountainous. The abundant wildlife on islands like Hinchinbrook and Long Island includes colorful lorikeets, kingfishers, possums, lizards, snakes, 'roos, and wallabies.
In the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest, scenic walks abound, but wildlife, though abundant, can be elusive. Touring with a guide will help you spot well-camouflaged natives such as the endangered southern cassowary (a large flightless bird with blue-black plumage), nonvenomous tree snakes, amethystine pythons, goannas (large monitor lizards), bandicoots, the elusive Bennett's tree kangaroo, and estuarine crocodiles (known in these parts as "salties"). Both Daintree Eco Lodge and Coconut Beach Resort run wonderful rain forest tours for their guests.
Outside of the resorts, there are lots of independent tour operators to take you creature-peeping. Down Under Tours, based in Cairns, is a cut above; by appointment, their expert guides bring small groups on four-by-four treks into the rain forest, as well as to other prime wildlife-viewing spots around the coast (61-74-035-5566; www.downundertours.com).
Melbourne's verdant Yarra Valley (about 30 miles east of the city center) has some of Australia's most acclaimed cool-climate wineries. The region has 55 cellar doors, including the third-generation family winery De Bortoli, with its private Trophy Tasting Room; the historic Yering Station; the boutique winery Coldstream Hills, with its reserve pinot noirs and chardonnays; and the magnificent Domaine Chandon, where you can taste award-winning sparkling wines matched with modern Australian food. Epicurean Food & Wine Tours runs excellent, unhurried small-group excursions through the area (61-3-9598-0943; www.epicureantours.com.au).
About an hour's drive southwest of the city is Melbourne's second wine-producing region, the Mornington Peninsula (www.morningtonpeninsula.com.au). Here, 50 wineries offer world-class pinot noirs and chardonnays, as well as fine pinot gris, pinot grigio, reisling, sauvignon blanc, semillon, shiraz, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. Enjoy an epicurean picnic in the sculpture garden of Montalto's, a Tuscan-style winery with extensive vineyards and olive groves. Also consider taking wine-appreciation sessions at Red Hill Estate or bottling your own sparkling wine at Foxey's Hangout. Other Peninsula hot spots include the acclaimed boutique winery Prancing Horse Estate, the award-winning Paringa Estate, the charming Tuck's Ridge, and Red Hill's microbrewery. Both Melbourne Private Tours (61-4-1957-1800; www.melbprivatetours.com.au) and Epicurean Food & Wine Tours (see above) give relaxed, reputable tours through the area.

UPDATE: 8/2012 -- Speedstream 4200 finally died. Replaced with new Sagemcom 1704 and connection has been rock solid. Speeds are give and take, but I know they are in desperate need of upgrading local hardware and are supposed to be doing that before too long. They are having issues getting the newly available 12Mbps out with their OLD hardware. Went through a few headaches over speed upgrade process, but got everything worked out.
I think I avoid alot of headaches with Windstream as I have dealt with them so much and overall DSL problems. I usually end up knowing more that the techs they send out about the situation. I have had to baby step multiple techs through a few situations. I don't just walk away and assume its gonna get done right. And some have even had to use MY laptop to configure modems for our businesses. I also have informed multiple techs that there is a firmware update for the 1704 that makes bridging & staticIP easier (which gets uploaded when they call in to configure the modem). I mean is there no briefing or training? Do they just get any schmuck that can twist a wire in theses jobs. I have dealt with a few that obviously knew more than I and I bled them of every detail concerning the technology and the status of the local issues.
**UPDATE: 2011 I am now posting regular speeds of 6.5Mbps and peaks of 8Mbps with my custom made Smoothwall router.
Subscription: Greenstreak 6 Mbps/ 768 Kbps
The Windstream of today is head and shoulders above the Windstream I dealt with just 2 years ago. They still have a big problem passing information from one department to the next, but it has improved. The service is solid and even beyond my subscription at times. I'd say it is up 99.9 percent of the time (we have it at work and same there). Sure there is an outage from time to time and those couple hours can seem like an eternity, but things happen and they have to maintain equipment.
If you can get through the initial stress of getting connected and stable, it should be peaches and cream from there. I would say get a techie person to help, but odds are you are already pretty savvy if you are on this site. I have helped countless family and friends over the hump with Windstream and have only had to pay return visits when they switched everyone over to PPPOE and passwords had to be re-entered.
I do have the choice of cable in my area, but I am so familiar with DSL and navigating Windstream support and the cable speeds are no faster around here.

Re: No!
I've learned in dealing a lot of tech support situations, you need to take charge. Especially if you know exactly what you need done. For good or for ill, reps follow a script, but that script usually either doesn't solve my problem or takes 2 hours to solve it when I can just say 'Hey, could you just do X and see if that clears it up?'. Most of the time they are delighted to break the monotony and sometimes learn a thing or two. Like with the 1704 firmware update that only tier 2 seemed to know about. I troubleshoot for a living and hobby and have usually narrowed down my issues to a very short list long before I bother picking up a phone, so my support experience is vastly different than your average joe.

Not much is known of the design competetion or the judging. Any information would be appreciated, including any details of (alleged) Spinach-eating contests held in the 30s. The Crystal City chamber of commerce was unavailable for comment - but a recording assured us our call would be returned. Other Popeyes - Other States One bronze statue of Popeye stands in E. C. Segar's hometown of Chester, Illinois. Vandals have pulled it down on at least one occassion (no damage). Two others stand in Arkansas about 70 miles apart. In Alma, Arkansas, off I-40, the paper-mache statue was stolen so often that it had to be covered in fiberglass and chained in place. The other Arkansas statue is near Springdale about 60 miles North. Considering this recent hostility toward cartoon statues, Crystal City is wise to keep a spare.

On the Sept. 16 season finale of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' Kourtney finally gives birth and the whole family is there! So why did she start crying?
Kourtney Kardashian is finally going to meet her little girl! On the season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney starts having contractions but she's scared to go to the hospital.
Kourtney and her entire family have been waiting for her to pop out little Penelope Scotland Disick, so why is she upset? Well, when she's getting ready to leave her house in the middle of the night, she realizes that it's the last time Mason will be an only child. Kourtney gets really emotional and starts to cry and little Mason comes up and gives her a hug. If that didn't make you reach for the Kleenex then you're tough!
On the way to the hospital they stop off at Kim's house for a snack. I mean what's the rush, it's not like she's about to give birth or anything!? Kim finally packs her overnight bag, yes we're waiting on Kim for Kourtney's big night, and they're off to the hospital.
Kourtney seems very at ease yet Khloe claims Kourtney is more scared this time around because "she knows what's coming" — massive amounts of pain!
Just like with Mason, Kourtney reaches down and pulls Penelope out of her vajay, and a new Kardashian is born! Kris Jenner is crying throughout and finally her tears are the right timing. The woman cries over everything!
Earlier in the episode, Kim decides to go through with freezing her eggs. Khloe finds out that her body doesn't make eggs and Kanye West admits Kim makes him "content."
The best part is when Mason comes to the hospital and meets Penelope. He is just the sweetest little boy, and to think he's got half of Scott Disick's DNA.
This was a fabulous finale and we can't wait to see Kim and Kourtney when they take Miami!

I thought it was really adorable when little Mason gave Kourtney a hug when she was crying over the fact that he would no longer be the only child. It was also sweet when Mason met Penelope for the first time, I agree it's very hard to imagine that he's half Scott! This episode gave me and my Dish coworkers a ton to talk about today at work. Luckily I recorded it on my Hopper, because when I played it back I was able to start watching on my living room TV and then continue watching on any TV in my house, right where I left off.
Posted at 1:41 PM on September 17, 2012
I really loved the finale, it was so great to see the whole family there for Kourtney, those little kids are sooooooo loved and that is so important, they have a huge family full of people that will love them unconditionally, say what you want about this family but they are there for each other and no matter what they will always be rich not monetarily but with love. I can't wait for Kim &Kourt take Miami, for the folks who are complaining, just don't watch, if you don't watch them then it should not bother you, just go to the other 200 plus cable channels and find something that suits your need, and let the people who enjoy their show, enjoy them, it is really that simple.

Wonder why Kendall and Kylie did not go with Bruce to attend the Olympics after they bought tickets. Those are nonrefundable. They stayed home in LA and Bruce went to the Olympics without his daughters and Kris. They can treat Bruce like s*it sometimes. He needs to stand up for himself, the wimp.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com UNH analysis leads to change in how child support is calculated in N.H.
Friday, September 27, 2013
DURHAM — An extensive analysis of New Hampshire child support guidelines by the University of New Hampshire has resulted in a substantial change in how child support is calculated in the Granite State.
"We found that the guidelines originally established were not truly representing the intent of the original guidelines. The courts had changed, families had changed, custody had changed, but the guidelines awarding custody and encumbering support of children in New Hampshire had not changed," said Malcolm Smith, UNH Cooperative Extension professor and an affiliate professor of education.
The UNH team conducted extensive research and analysis. Researchers reviewed current literature and guidelines, met with key stakeholders, held four public forums, solicited input by mail and email from parents paying and receiving child support as well as other interested parties, conducted site visits with child support staff in six states, and completed an economic review of alternative formulas and sources of child expenditure data.
"Our legacy as a land-grant state university is founded on the idea that research conducted at UNH should broadly serve the state of New Hampshire and its citizens. Partnerships such as this one underscore that mission and emphasize our role as a national research university," he said.

On the sizing, I was a little hesitant to comment on this initially, because it is another matter of personal preference (and the Magic seemed to be working for you). But since you asked: Yes, I think you probably should have gone one size shorter. I am 150-155lb and was toying with getting the 154 Magic. |

Yes, I think my shrinking foot size and switching from regular camber to hybrid rocker left me not considering some size changes required in the boards.
Well, I'll see if I can find either of these boards in a 157 from last year in a sell-off, or else just stick with what I've got and get used to them. These things aren't cheap! Thanks for the help guys! |

Kristen has finally finished filming 'SWATH' and according to eyewitness reports, she celebrated with the cast until 3:15am at the '60s themed bash!
It's a wrap for Kristen Stewart! The 21-year-old actress along with her Snow White and the Huntsman co-stars Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and Johnny Harris attended the private cast party at Loft Studios in London. But although Kristen reportedly stayed late at the magical party, her beau Robert Pattinson was no where in sight!
According to eyewitness @BarnesGirl11, Kristen was wearing her signature skinny jeans and converse as she entered the party with a few of her co-stars. One lucky party goer tweeted that the venue was decorated with stop signs, fake snow, fake trees and even red apples! Adding that the cast danced the night away to songs like "Light My Fire" and "Whole Lotta Love."
We'll keep you posted on all the SWATH party details! But in the meantime we hope this means Rob and Kristen can reunite in time for the holidays!
Check out eyewitness tweets from the party:
@RomanceRiver: SWATH wrap party has the best music playing, "Light My Fire", "Whole Lotta Love"… @Lorabell: Rocking it out at the #Swath wrap party- twisted 60s-esque theme- cast and crew all here and having a blast in NW10 x
"@BarnesGirl11: Kristen in jeans and converse. She had about 9 people with her . . . . More deets later x. We did not see her english boyfriend . . . The paps left in cars BEFORE she did, by about 5 mins. Maybe she did not go straight home and the paps gave up. Just JB, her security. ASB and dark haired guy left earlier. She left REALLY late, like 3.15am. Hope she had fun :) The 9 people were JB, JohnASB, dark haired guy …. plus about 4-6 others I did not know. All shielding her… hard to get pics. She had her hair down, short jacket and hoodie, skinny jeans and converse. Saw her for seconds before she went in, but YES!!!!
@Loft_Studios: What a week! Mario Testino taking all 4 studios for a Burberry Campaign and 3 events this weekend, the highlight being Snow White wrap party
@littlelowey: Driving to London excited for the wrap party tonight for #SWATH but feeling sick and that's before having any drink…..Little bit tipsy haha, Chris and christan are both beautiful greatfull people #swath

I wonder why her bodyguard and her assistant, John left early? Maybe the rumors are true? Maybe Rob did show up at the afterparty following the wrap party undetected? If that happened, then it would explain why her bodyguard left early. Rob was there to look after her & see her home. Those two are so good at being ninjas! HA!

Kristen has really put her heart into this movie, no doubt she will shine as Snow White. It was such a physically challenging movie too and she has the 'battle scars' to show. Love you Kristen! Whatever project you choose next(Akira?)you will be brilliant too. Hope you get some TLC from your family first though.

NHL: Have at it Hockey fan who won at the trade deadline? Who sucked?
So the NFL Draft kicked off Thursday night...As a Browns fan, I'm not thrilled...I'm not totally pissed, but not thrilled...Getting Trent Richardson was good, but trading 3 picks to move up one spot to get him was retarded...The Vikings boned the Browns with that...They weren't taking Richardson, and Other teams weren't throwing that much to move up a couple spots, let alone one...Then with the 22nd pick the Browns took their next starting QB...Their 17th since they returned in 1999... Brandon Weeden...I think he'll be better then Colt McCoy, but based on what we've seen that isn't saying a lot...I mean McCoy, as you can see from that list above, was one of a long standing tradition of Browns QB's who were running for their lives, and had little talent around them...Weeden may have a better chance, but 22 was too high for a guy who is almost 30 years old...They could have got him at 37, and gotten the WR they need so badly at 22... Oh, they got a WR...In the 4th round, they picked up a 5 foot 9 inch receiver, that everyone had a boner for...Are you shitting me...We don't need a midget slot receiver, we need a mother fucker who can go down field, and out jump DB's for balls...Oh, and actually catch balls! At 37 they took California tackle Phillip Schwartz, who will play the right side...Good pick, they needed to fix that side of the line...Then they traded down from 67 to 87, picking up pick 120...At 87 they picked up the #2 DT from Cincinnati...WTF for! This is a guy they could have gotten in the 6th or 7th round...Fucking stupid...The later rounds was nothing sexy, or thrilling...A couple LB's and depth guys for the OL and DL...I'm not thrilled, but I guess these clowns could have done worse... I wouldn't get into all the details, but looking at the recaps, I like what the Steelers did...Some smart picks, that will make their mini-rebuild easy...I'm not jumping ship, even though they have good looking fans... Shit, look at this ugly bastard, having fun, just because his asshole team wins... Oh, and for my blogging brothers, I finally found that pick of JDIN827 chomping on a bone... Of all the idiotic picks that took place in the draft, there was none more retarded then the Saturday, when the Redskins after taking RG3 # 2overall, then took Michigan State QB Kurt Cousins...What a waste...These dopes traded away so many picks just to get up to #2, they can't afford to be burning another on a QB...But fuck'em...That's why they're the Redskins, and that's why they keep losing their division! But enough of this draft bullshit! -The last couple weeks, I had been getting myself ready for my transfer from The Fish House, to one of my company's Steak Houses...Well ain't this a bitch...They put me on the station that cooks all the fucking fish! 8 burners and a flat-top, cooking pastas, fish, chicken, and veal...And this fucking joint sells a bunch of fish at lunch...But I'm settling well, and the crew I'm working with is pretty cool, and has welcomed me with open arms... -Saturday night the Mrs. and I went out for an early Italian dinner...Great little place right in our neighborhood...After some great food, a couple glasses of wine, and desert, we were feeling good...She was even a little frisky...Then we went to meet up with some old friends of mine for drinks...We had a great time...The Karaoke started, and we had to go...We wanted to stay, but the baby-sitter was starting to cost us a lot... Sunday, the wife was feeling a bit tired, and well, she just can't hang like she use to...So I took the kids to a park for a couple hours...Molls was loving the swings, as usual! After that we knocked out some yard work while the kids road their bikes...I had to chop the hell out of a hedge along the driveway, so I can get my new mini-van all the way in the back...Yep, I'm full blown Mr. Mom now, rocking the mini-van... That's it for now...Have a week... Later, The Beeze.

Optimize your computer's registry with Auslogic Registry Cleaner
Clean up your computer problems with the convenient program.
The Auslogic Registry Cleaner is an application for cleaning up problematic and error-filled files or folders on your computer, making it run more efficiently.
This is a good application to have, and it is pretty easy to use. You don't have to be a very advanced computer user to use it properly. There are a few scan options for more advanced users, but this Registry Cleaner already selects a default list of the drives and items it will search and repair. The Scan and Repair processes were very quick. It took half a minute to scan a little over 75,000 items. It found 1,448 problems and managed to repair all but four of those problems in another half-minute. Part of this process also includes backing up the files that are being deleted, since there's always a possibility of error and you might want to access those files again. Going to the Rescue Center in File is a quick way of restoring those files from backup, so Auslogics Registry Cleaner makes every step rather simple. They have a Help page -- only a little information -- and a Technical Support page, which will allow you to contact the company with any technical questions or issues.
There were no problems with the download or installation process. It was very quick and took only a few steps to set everything up. It asks you if you want to launch the program on the final step of installation, making it that much more convenient.

Hey guys i wanted to get your opinion on URDs new TCAI setup that actually moves the filter in front of the radiator behind the grill, It seems like a pretty legit setup and i know URD is a pretty legit vendor. I guess id just be worried about sucking up something or water splash, That and i plan on installing a Satoshi grill soon and that seems like that might restrict airflow to the filter?
Heres a link let me know what you think!
