What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 3,934 ViewsThis is a game i am using to help promote a forthcoming dance double album. On the official site (should be live soon) the best races are recorded, so that you can race against the best times. On here you can rqace against your own best times by replaying the tracks.
Features 9 (or maybe 10) tracks from the album including one by myself.
Hope you like!
I'm not sure why, but I'm just not a fan of these kinds of games. I think it's mostly because I'm not good at them. I remember playing some racing games in arcades that I wasn't bad at. I think it's mostly because this is just more of a different medium. Also, there didn't seem to be a lot of creativity put into this. It does manage to deliver what it sets out to do.
I was thinking the title might reference "World Of Warcraft". I'm fairly certain it was out at that time. You need to brush up on the graphics. A lot of it looked like there wasn't a lot of effort put into it. People who are better at racing games should enjoy this more.
Not Bad
Its really not half bad but, when you keep playing it. It'll be easier.
Extremliy hard to steer and the 1st race is way hard!
There should be upgrades, wheapons (like a banna to make other cars go off the road)
and there should be boosts you touch em and you can hit space for a boost!
But only voting 1 cause making flashs are hard...
wow what a race!
i thought this was a simple good fun game and i realy enjoyed it, it was just hard enough to keep me interested but easy enough to keep me from getting frustrated
Thin tracks are too thin
A good game except that the thin parts of the track are hard to stay on, and the computer cars do them really well and fast. It took me like 20 tries just to get bronze on track 4 "angles."

Easton EA90 RT 700c Rear Wheel 2013
Improved ride quality, better cornering traction, fewer flats; these are just a few reasons to ride road tubeless. Easton engineers recognized these benefits and saw an opportunity to make a better road tubeless wheel system using some of the technology that's made Easton's UST mountain wheels category leaders.
The EA90 RT wheel utilizes a proprietary rim design that holds a road tubeless bead securely even at pressures less than 100psi and holds an airtight seal between the rim and tire. A 17.5-milimeter internal rim width provides an improved tire profile for added stability and even better flat resistance. Easton didn't skimp on details with the road tubeless: The wheels rely on Easton's sealed cartridge bearing R4 hubs, alloy freewheel and Sapim stainless spokes.
The EA90 RTs weigh a mere 1550g – plus they negate the necessity for heavy inner tubes. The wheels feature sealed cartridge bearing R4 hubs, alloy freewheel and Sapim stainless spokes. These wheels offer road enthusiasts outstanding performance and value even if those riders never commit to tubeless. As with all Easton wheels, the EA90 RT wheel is entirely hand-built and acoustically tuned so it stays straight and true longer.

By Diane Bostick email@example.com By Robert Knott G.P. Putnam's Sons 2012 As many of you know, Robert Parker died in 2010. He published books with various main characters and after his death, his family, with the encouragement of his publisher I would imagine, decided to allow various other authors to attempt to write books in Parker's voice, in my opinion, with varying success in their endeavors. His Spenser series has been taken over by Ace Atkins, his Jesse Stone series by Michael Brandman, and now his Virgil Cole western series is being written by Robert Knott. It seems to me that ...

"Do You Remember Your Spirit?"
Review by Jane A. Marlowe A new book by local author, Dom Fiorda and Kendra Brady relates a story about someone who remembers his 'Spirit Time.' Ernest Spirit's name was rather prophetic. When he was a boy, he didn't realize that fact. He was named for his grandfather, Ernesto, who immigrated to America at the beginning of the 20th century. The custom's officer who processed him through Ellis Island Americanized his name, Ernesto Di Spirito, to Ernest Spirit. In English or Italian, the name translates to mean "of the Spirit"… and young Ernest was 'of the spirit'. As a child ... Read More »
Zero Dark Thirty
By Monte Lazarus email@example.com The beginning of "Zero Dark Thirty" is controversial and unsettling. Shortly after the first scene at the World Trade Center, the site changes. A CIA operative has an Al-Qaeda member in a dank dungeon – a "black site" – somewhere in Pakistan. It's 2003. What makes the scene disturbing is the sequence of torture that takes place – slapping, naked abuse, waterboarding and ultimately forcing the prisoner, Ammar (Reda Kateb) into a tiny box. What makes the scene controversial is the question it raises. Some observers think it glorifies torture. Others believe it demonstrates that torture ... Read More »

Have the airlines become too arrogant about steadily increasing their fees? Some prominent consumer advocates are starting to think so. Specifically, they believe that some fees, although nominally "optional," have become so high as to exceed any standard of reasonability and have reached the level of consumer abuse.
Ticket-fee changes -- especially Delta's international fee up to $400, along with fees almost as high on other lines -- appear to be the proximate targets. Although domestic fares and fees, including ticket change fees, have long been fully deregulated, the Department of Transportation still has statutory authority over fees on international tickets. Specifically, existing legislation calls for international fees to be "reasonable." Industry mavens say the true cost of a ticket change is something less than $50, and that $400 therefore doesn't come even close to meeting the "reasonable" standard. Last year, DOT refused to act on a consumer activist's formal complaint about international fees, so the road to change would be for someone to petition a court to require that the DOT enforce the existing law.
Challenging the other fees would be more difficult. Whenever someone proposes to curb some airline excess, airlines whine that they're being unfairly targeted for re-regulation, over-regulated, and over-taxed -- and that other industries are not similarly afflicted. That, of course, is an extremely disingenuous position: The two most important recent consumer-protection regulations and requirements were both put in place in responses to egregious consumer abuses:
-- Airlines brought truth-in-price-advertising rules on themselves in response to widespread "drip pricing" scams: Instead of advertising the real fare, they arbitrarily split up the actual fare into a phony low-ball base fare, which they featured, and a separate "fuel surcharge" or "airline-imposed fee," which they left out of the fares they initially posted only to add them back later.
-- Airlines brought tarmac delay penalties on themselves by holding passengers on the tarmac for up to eight hours with no food, no water, no air conditioning, and no functioning toilets.
In these and other cases, DOT gave the airlines plenty of time to correct the abuses on their own, and acted only when the airlines kept on misleading and abusing their customers.
As to "excessive" taxation and fees, that's nonsense. Virtually all of the existing fees the airlines complain about as excessive go to funding airports, air traffic control and other government aviation services -- comparable to the functions that railroads, for example, pay for themselves.
Some consumer advocates are thinking about targeting other abusive fees, as well. Fees on the radar screen are for online booking, bag checking, and such. I'm not sure the folks I've been talking to are going to take any specific action, and I can't predict the outcome, but the consumer resentment is clear -- and the ferment is growing.
In a fee development that actually happened, American Airlines announced a change in its bundled fare structure. Last year, American (the old one) announced an intriguing initiative about ticket change fees: A series of fare levels that "bundle" some options, previously charged separately. Initially, the "Choice Essentials" package provided one no-charge checked bag, priority boarding, and no-fee ticket exchange for $68 round trip over the lowest base fare. That was obviously an attractive proposition for anyone likely to want to change a ticket, especially since it added only $18 to the total cost for anyone who wanted to check one bag. Maybe too attractive. Recently, American adjusted the bundle pricing so that the Choice Essential increment dropped to $58 round trip, but without the no-charge ticket exchange provision. Now, for a no-fee exchange, you have to opt for the higher "Choice Plus" level, at $160 round trip. That level also includes a no-charge checked bag, priority boarding, 50 percent bonus frequent flyer miles, and (big deal) one "free" drink.
Up till now, no other big airline has copied American's bundles. But American's new system could eventually look better to them: Don't be surprised to see some copycats.

text: 1Center for International Climate and Environmental Research – Oslo (CICERO), Oslo, Norway 2Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 3The Norwegian Polar Institute, Fram Centre, Tromsø, Norway 4Earth System Research Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Boulder, Colorado, USA Abstract. The distribution of black carbon (BC) in the atmosphere and the deposition of BC on snow surfaces since pre-industrial time until present are modelled with the Oslo CTM2 model. The model results are compared with observations including recent measurements of BC in snow in the Arctic. The global mean burden of BC from fossil fuel and biofuel sources increased during two periods. The first period, until 1920, is related to increases in emissions in North America and Europe, and the last period after 1970 are related mainly to increasing emissions in East Asia. Although the global burden of BC from fossil fuel and biofuel increases, in the Arctic the maximum atmospheric BC burden as well as in the snow was reached in 1960s, with a slight reduction thereafter. The global mean burden of BC from open biomass burning sources has not changed significantly since 1900. With current inventories of emissions from open biomass sources, the modelled burden of BC in snow and in the atmosphere north of 65° N is small compared to the BC burden of fossil fuel and biofuel origin. From the concentration changes radiative forcing time series due to the direct aerosol effect as well as the snow-albedo effect is calculated for BC from fossil fuel and biofuel. The calculated radiative forcing in 2000 for the direct aerosol effect is 0.35 W m−2 and for the snow-albedo effect 0.016 W m−2 in this study. Due to a southward shift in the emissions there is an increase in the lifetime of BC as well as an increase in normalized radiative forcing, giving a change in forcing per unit of emissions of 26 % since 1950.

Top 10: Premier League free agents this summer - 3 - Salomon Kalou
Salamon Kalou signed for Chelsea from Feyenoord in 2006.
Its been a while since he was considered a key member of the Chelsea team.
He has been nothing more then a bit-part player in recent seasons and needs to move on to a new challenge when his contract expires in the summer.
The Ivorian has loads of experience and would be a worthwhile signing for a number of Premier League clubs.

i-Curve Speaker Docking System with Remote For iPods and iPhones with 30 Pin Dock Connectors Electronics
3 Suspect build qualityPosted: 05/01/2011First impressions out the box were that it feels and looks very cheap...looks great from a distance though!The first one I ordered was faulty...it would charge my iPod for a while then stop then start again after a few seconds, it did this constantly. Also, the USB port at the back which is supposed to output 5v when no iPod is docked didn't work at all.I get the faulty unit replaced and I've so far not had problems with charging through the dock but there is still a problem with the USB port, I got it to work once for a few seconds. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has the same problem??!Overall, sound quality great for the size but wouldn't payAnymore than it's currently on sale for.

Traffic pattern for new hotelSubmitted by Mike from over the bridge (not verified) on Fri, 03/16/2012 - 2:00pm.
Why complain? You should be happy a new hotel is going up. Increased tax revenue from the hotel will ease the future tax burden on residents. If the final plan is acceptable, getting there is worth the inconvience. »

Ah, wonderful Café Vux!
Posted on 11 / 09 / 2014When we first moved to Berlin we lived close to Café Vux, and it quickly became our favourite. I only regret that we live on the other side of town now. Note to Café Vux staff – if you want to open a branch in Prenzlauer Berg, let me know! ;)
It's not the largest menu in the world (soup, sandwiches, waffles, sweets, drinks) but what they do have is delicious. It's perfect for bagel lovers (like us). There's about six or seven to choose from, my personal favourites are the Guava Jelly with (vegan) cheese (which might sound strange, but try it and thank me later), and also the Seitan-Lime one.
There's very good coffees too, and a good range of desserts, such as slices of cake, and these really nice muffins with a sweet crispy topping (though these do change, so they'll probably have a different type of muffin in when you visit!).
The only thing we weren't impressed with were the waffles. It wasn't actually bad or anything, just rather average compared to everything else. I'd opt for a muffin or slice of cake instead next time.
All said, it's a really, really nice place. We've enjoyed every visit. It's located in a good area for other vegan stuff too.

How Realistic Are You About Your Hair? Cutting Your Own Hair |
How brave are you? Need a haircut but a little short on cash? Don't let a slow economy keep you from looking your best.
Grab the telephone book or access the Internet and look under beauty schools. If you are lucky enough to have one located nearby, you can save as much as 50% to 75% off the cost of a haircut. Keep in mind, however, that this is a learning institution and don't be in a hurry. All cuts are supervised by a licensed instructor.
Keep your hairstyle simple. Whether your hair is long or short, make it manageable and low maintenance. This goes for all family members. Cut back on the number of trips you make to the hair salon by investing in a good pair of scissors. Clip bangs and give trims yourself.
Buy hair clippers. For approximately $25 or less, you can eliminate your family's trips to the hair salon altogether. By doing so, you will save hundreds of dollars a year plus time and gas money. Choose basic hair styles that are easy to maintain. All clippers come with an instructional video, DVD, and/or manual. Follow directions carefully and remember that practice makes perfect.
