I tried 3 prepaid cards to do that, and none of them worked, so I was forced to do just the 1 month. There's no way I'd ever give Micro$oft or $ony my real credit card info.
My billing account with Microsoft now has this charge there for the ridiculously expensive regular monthly price and basically they locked me in now. I either have to pay up at one point or I will never be able to use a credit card on this account again it seems, or they will charge it.
They have not been able to show how their behavior is justified by TOS or other terms and conditions, but are unwilling so far to waive the pending charge.
So - DO deactivate the renewal!

I don't like the idea that if Microsoft ever messes up and puts a charge on your account, they can hold you entire library of hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of games hostage. However, the only reason they have my prepaid credit card on file is so I can do occasional Gold deals like this. I just hope with auto-renew off, there shouldn't be any other attempted charges on my account ever.
Let me just say that I TRULY know where this was originally posted.
It doesn't just come from the OPs link created ONLY minutes before which itself barely has any views/replies.
Happy Gaming!
Now here is a tip that worked for me back in December.
I received a Chase Visa Gift Card for Christmas and tried going in for the $2/2 month offer but it wasn't working. I had a SERVE Amex pre-paid card that I received back in Feb. 2012 for FREE. They initially gave me $10 just for signing up. It remained unused for months with just under a $2 balance.
I took the Chase Visa card and linked it to my SERVE Amex card as a debit card. I re-submitted the transaction and it worked using the SERVE card. It depleted ALL of my SERVE remaining balance and then drew the remainder from the Chase gift card. I've used it for the 2 month deal AND on a separate account for the 1-month Gold trial.
For the FREE Gold trial, the transaction took the $1 and only held it for a few days. It then leaves the $1 on the SERVE card and it doesn't go back to the Visa giftcard.
I have also successfully used the SERVE card at Redbox kiosks for free movie/game rentals.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by editors of HealthDay:
NIH Project Examines Impact of Microbes on Human Health
A large research project to explore the role of bacteria, fungi and other microbes in human health and disease was announced Wednesday by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Over the next five years, the Human Microbiome Project will award a total of $115 million to researchers.
As part of the project, scientists will collect and analyze microbes present in five specific body regions known to be inhabited by microbial communities: the digestive tract, the mouth, the skin, the nose and the female urogenital tract.
Researchers will also sequence hundreds of microbial genomes.
"The human microbiome is largely unexplored. It is essential that we understand how microorganisms interact with the human body to affect health and disease. This project has the potential to transform the ways we understand human health and prevent, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions," NIH Director Dr. Elias A. Zerhouni said in a prepared statement.
Immigrant Children in NYC Have Higher Risk of Lead Poisoning
In New York City, immigrant children are five times more likely than U.S.-born children to acquire lead poisoning, says a city health department study published online in the American Journal of Public Health.
The study of children tested for lead poisoning in 2002 found that the risk was highest among recent immigrants. Children who had arrived in the United States within the previous six months were 11 times more likely to have lead poisoning than U.S.-born children.
The highest-risk children were from the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico and Pakistan.
Lead-based paint is the primary cause of lead poisoning in both U.S.- (80 percent) and foreign-born children (65 percent) in New York City. But immigrant children may have been exposed to other sources of lead in their homes countries, including pollution, foods, herbal medicines, dishes, toys, jewelry, and cosmetics, researchers said.
"This study suggests that immigrant children are being exposed to lead in their home countries before they arrive in New York City," study co-author Jessica Leighton, Deputy Commissioner of Environmental Health, said in a prepared statement. "And some immigrant families may be bringing tainted products with them to New York City. We encourage all parents, especially parents who are recent immigrants, to be sure their children are tested for lead poisoning at ages one and two, as required by law."
U.S. Hospital Admissions Rise for Pulmonary Heart Disease
Between 1997 and 2005, U.S. hospital admissions for chronic pulmonary heart disease rose from 301,400 to 456,500, an increase of more than 50 percent, according to the latest News and Numbers from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Pulmonary heart disease is a serious, often fatal, lung blood vessel disorder that causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness and fainting. Most people with pulmonary heart disease have an underlying heart or lung disorder.

Officials question savings of base closings -NYT
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Most members of the independent
commission assessing the Pentagon's proposed list of military
base closings say the Pentagon may have overstated the nearly
$50 billion in savings by as much as nearly 50 percent, The New
York Times reported in Sunday's editions.
The commissioners, seven of whom were interviewed by the
Times, expressed concern about the accuracy of the Defense
Department figures and said they had directed the commission's
staff to conduct a separate savings analysis before the
commission's final votes on the military's recommendations
later this month, the newspaper said.
Most of the commission members told the Times they agreed
with a report this summer by federal investigators that
concluded that nearly half of the Pentagon's projected savings
came from cuts in military jobs that often would merely be
reassigned to other installations.
"I fail to see at this point how you could arrive at the
figures they arrived at," commission chairman Anthony Principi
told the Times. "We're going through this effort to save money
from excess capacity to modernize forces. If the savings aren't
there and it costs money to do this on top of all the economic
upheaval, why are we doing this?"
Pentagon spokesman Glenn Flood told the Times a detailed
explanation of the projected savings was being prepared for the
"We stand by what we said," he said.
The commission must submit its findings to President George
W. Bush by September 8, after which Bush and Congress have
until November 7 to reject or accept the entire package.
The commission members told the Times the panel's final
vote could be affected if they determine that the Pentagon
proposals yield smaller savings than projected, or cost money.
"It will have an impact," Philip Coyle III, a commission
member and top Pentagon weapons evaluator during the 1990s,
told the newspaper. "It may be that closures or realignments
that were proposed, in part because they would save money, may
actually cost money. The whole idea is to save taxpayers
"The final decisions won't be unduly influenced by the
Defense Department estimates because we'll do our own," said
commission member Samuel Skinner, a former chief of staff to
President George H.W. Bush.
Adm. Harold Gehman Jr., a retired Navy officer on the
panel, said, "It's very likely that we'll support a Defense
Department recommendation even if it couldn't demonstrate the
payback, if we were absolutely convinced the military value was
significant. But the burden of proof would be on them."
Public hearings are set to begin on August 24 and last for
four days.

Whether you're an adoptee, a birth parent, an adoptive parent, or a prospective adoptive parent, there may be a song or two that just means more to you than anything else on the radio.
Music is so very powerful. Notice how a scary movie wouldn't be as scary if it wasn't for the soundtrack? A romantic moment becomes more romantic with the perfect tune. It shouldn't be so surprising that when it comes to the subject of adoption, that there are songs that bring about a memory or feeling.
Whether the song is meant to be specifically about adoption or not, what songs are meaningful to you?
Christina Perri A Thousand Years
- This song is from the "Breaking Dawn" soundtrack and was played in the wedding scene. But the lyrics "I have died everyday waiting for you" always bring me to tears because that's exactly how we have felt about waiting for our future child.
- —Guest Melissa
Adoption Songs for Each Child
- With my two sons I have a special song between both them and I. My 10yo adopted at 6, "Keeper of the Stars" it starts "it was no accident, me finding you..." Still tear up when he busts out with his little rendition. And my 16yo foster son, who will likely be adopted by us, but is mine forever either way ;) our song is, Rascal Flattens "Won't Let Go" After reading this you may hear something totally different while listening to these songs.
- —Guest Mandy
Haven't met you yet - Michael Buble
- Once you listen to this song from the viewpoint of a parent in the waiting stages of being selected, you'll see what I mean. "I promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get. I just haven't met you yet."
- —Guest LB
Same/Same: Songs for Adoptive Families
- I have received many great letters from adoptive families about the impact of my album of songs, written out of my experience as an adoptive dad. "Same/Same" lets kids in trans-racial adoptions celebrate their families similarities. "Mama Always Comes Back" is a funny tune that reassures children who have experienced abandonment. "Ask Me Anything" gives adopted kids permission to explore their past with their forever families. And "Sometimes I Wonder" lets them think aloud, with their parents, about their birthmother. You can find the CD at http://www.samesamecd.com
- —Guest Chuck Kent
No Song - But Understand the Connection
- I am not adopted, and I do not have a song however I watched the VH1 special some years ago and just thought of it. I got chills again reading what Carrie Craft wrote about Darryl McDaniels and his journey. The part that touched me the most, and what I found so significant about his connection to the song "Angel" by Sarah McLaughlin, was that she too was adopted and he never knew that. So sweet.
- —Guest sis
Adoption Song - "Heroes" by the Isaacs
- The song Heroes by the Isaacs is very meaningful. One of the verses is "they tried for many years to have a baby of their own but God knew a little girl who didn't have a home. Every time I listen to this song it makes me get teary-eyed. It's message is that those who serve and love children are heroes.
- —Guest Momofmany
Keep Holdin On
- We are just starting our foster care into an adoption process. Every time I hear this song I think of our future son(s) and or daughter(s) - that we will all make it through.
- —Guest Eric and Nicole
"Show You Love" by Jars of Clay
- I like "Show You Love" by Jars of Clay. It is on my blog and I remember it going around blogland while we were in process.
- —Guest adascandlelight
"Return to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins
- I'm only 19 and I'm not adopted but for a long time I've always known I want to adopt and the song by Kenny Loggins always makes me think of my future son. It's such a sweet song and I can't wait to one day sing it to him.
- —Guest Andi
Dixie Chicks Song Is a Reminder
- It's not necessarily an adoption song, but the song "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks takes me back to bringing our now five year old son home every time. I still sing it to him at bedtime. I'll always love that song!
- —Guest krivo

'Urgent' Rays kick-start homestand with signs of life in beating Orioles
JUN 17, 2014 12:32a ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- There came a time early in Joe Maddon's pregame media gathering Monday at Tropicana Field that served as a line of separation in this Tampa Bay Rays' season. Listen to the manager close enough these days, and it becomes clear that late-summer urgency has entered the Rays clubhouse a month or two early.
It's easy to understand why. Tampa Bay began play Monday with a 27-43 record, rightfully irrelevant when talk surfaces about midseason success stories and would-be contenders come late August and September.
It's almost laughable to the world outside the Rays clubhouse to consider them an October possibility at this point. But Sunday in Houston, the Rays clinched their third victory in four games, their best four-game stretch since winning four straight from May 22-25. The flat-line effort of the past two weeks had disappeared. Still, in a climb from dark depths that saw them fall to 18 games below .500 last Tuesday, Maddon as motivator was far from pleased.
He recognized the mirage. The Rays had more to give.
He wanted to see more, fast.
"We're a better ballclub than we've shown to this point -- there's no question," Maddon said before Monday's series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. "How do we get to that level? It's just going to take a lot of work. ... Ten-game homestand, I want to get a lot of work done now and try to get this thing back on track, because to wait until the All-Star break would be too late."
The Rays showed more life Monday in earning a 5-4 victory over the pesky Orioles, who were 5-0 against the Rays this season before Jerry Sands cracked a pinch-hit, two-run home run beyond left field off left-hander Brian Matusz in the eighth inning that became the difference.
The result kicked off a 10-game homestand that will serve as an X-ray to discover what's inside this team: Will the Rays show the desire to dig from a hole of their making? Or will they curl, fold and prepare to count down the hours until they meet for spring training once more?
"We can't wait until the All-Star break and then try to re-assess," Maddon said afterward. "We normally do the spring training (-like assessment) after the All-Star break. Now we're doing it pre. And again, it's not punitive. It's just to get the mental sharpness back, to get the guys focused and have them understand we need to start pushing it right now."
So far, the returns are good.
The Rays have won four of their past five games after losing 14 of their previous 15. They have scored 24 runs over their past five games, an outburst that followed them being shut out in three consecutive games. They have 17 extra-base hits over their past four games and 40 in their previous 12. In the 21 games before that, they had 39.
Baseball is a cyclical game, at least for teams with talent. The Rays have enjoyed better karma after the collapse of late May and early June. This should be expected. On paper, they appear too good to be lifeless for too long.
Still, the urgency from Maddon is interesting and revealing into how he hears the season's clock ticking louder toward Decision Day with each hour. His 50-50 goal after 100 games appears lost now. (They Rays would have to go 22-7 over their next 29.) But this nudge to play with more sharpness plays into his preference of demanding more when things go well -- or at least better -- and offering support when life becomes a tailspin. This is his way, tested and true.
"We've been playing pretty good ball," Sands said. "Like he said, there are some things that we can improve when we're going down the stretch late in the season -- it's really going to help us kind of go over the edge. Just kind of staying with those fundamental things that we need to concentrate on. We've got a good enough team and talent and people in here that we can do some things."
That should be the fascinating part about following this team in the next nine games and in the weeks to come before the All-Star break. The Rays, all along, have resembled a Lamborghini with a faulty engine. Everything on the outside, from the promising roster to the veteran bullpen, appeared sleek and smooth coming out of spring training.
But internal failures, from key rotation injuries to bad hitting "luck" and more, have led to the clunker of a campaign so far. Urgency can become a correction to the ills. Urgency can become a cure.
"I just thought we had a nice, crisp sharpness about us tonight," Maddon said.
It's the Rays' duty to answer their manager's call more often, to turn the forgettable of most of the season's first half into something palatable by the All-Star break.
The urgency is healthy. It can become a catalyst for a lost campaign to this point, the seconds becoming more urgent by the hour.

Contemporary Lake House Rental on Beech Hill Pond near Bar Harbor Maine. Beautiful 5 bedroom, 2 bath Beech Hill Pond house, comfortably furnished and well appointed with all the conveniences you could need - dock, Fire pit with plenty of Adirondack chairs for de-stressing (all firewood included), stone patio, and a wooden swing set for the kiddos. Safe swimming for kids in the crystal clear spring fed water as well as canoeing and kayaking with boat rentals available nearby. The 5 bedrooms are charmingly decorated and offer 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 full size beds, 2 twins, and linens all included. Fully equipped kitchen and large dinning room area that over looks the lake; perfect for entertaining. Enjoy the stillness of morning mist rising from the lake, soft summer breezes and the haunting songs of the resident loons. The fishing's fun, the swimming's refreshing and boating is just plain relaxing, so bring your toys. Only 35 minutes to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. **Free WiFi, canoe & 2 kayaks included. Dogs are welcome.
We stayed for 2 weeks - the house is large and comfortable, well appointed and appropriately set up to easily handle our extended family of 9. The lake is wonderful - clear and clean, with a dock and swim float. The setting is peaceful - loons just about every day. We really appreciated the fire circle (and wood to go with it) and well equipped kayaks and canoe, not to mention the swing set for our granddaughter and loads of children's toys for her to play with. Josh is an attentive landlord, responding rapidly to questions and concerns.
We stayed here and really enjoyed our visit. We would recommend it to others. The kayaks, canoes and swimming docks were great, the grill worked fine and the fire pit was very enjoyable.
We liked how they had a window AC unit (which was very effective the two times we needed it). The lake is fantastic. It's clear, has plenty of fish (we caught over 30 bass when we were there) and the swimming is wonderful.
It is about 1 hour from Acadia, which is nice. Groceries are 10 minutes away at a small location, or 20 minutes if you go to the larger grocery stores in Ellsworth.
Some improvement opportunities:
-Contrary to the wording in the pictures, there is no beach 100' down the road. It is a mile down the road and requires a good hike to get in there. It takes quite a bit of time to get there with a kayak. It is enjoyable, but it is not 100' down the road.
-The cookware was adequate, but nothing fantastic. We would have really preferred a better cutting board.
We enjoyed our stay on Beech Hill Pond! The property had a nice dock with a new swimming raft. Our children swam in the pond almost every day....we were amazed how clear and clean the water was. The kayaks and the canoe were nice quality and we used them several times. We enjoyed the wildlife. We saw many loons in the pond, an eagle fly overhead, and turtles and ducks in the pond as well. We had many fires at the fire pit. Josh supplied all of the wood that we needed. There was also a large gas grill that had plenty of propane for our use...it was handy. The house inside was very spacious. It fit 11 of us. We had six adults, two teenagers, and three children. The kitchen was big and had everything we needed. The view of the pond from the living room was incredible! We got to see the sunrise on clear mornings! We traveled to Bar Harbor several times...it was a bit of a drive, taking us about one hour in travel time. It didn't matter though. The house was perfect for the size of our family. It was a great gathering spot for us to vacation together. We would recommend this vacation home to anyone!
We found this house to be very relaxing. We enjoyed watching the kids swim off the floating dock and they loved the kayaks and canoe and used them just about every day. We would highly recommmend it to anyone and look forward to going back and staying there again.
Thank you
Had a great time. The setting and house were beautiful!
We rented this home for our family for the holidays and it was PERFECT. We frequently rent homes but this home was by far our favorite. The open concept on the main floor allowed for our family to celebrate the holiday comfortably with plenty of space and privacy. Josh, the owner was very pleasant and accomodating and we look forward to dealing with him again. They even set up a beautiful tree for our family to make it as special as possible. Thank you so much .....we so appreciate all your efforts. Your home is beautiful and we look forward to staying there again next Christmas ......we have already booked it for 2013!!! Beautiful location....we would love to spend a few days during the summer and enjoy the water. Ellsworth and Bangor was a quick drive away but why would you want to leave when you have everything you need right at this beautiful home. Property was extremely well maintained and clean which is very important to us. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone esp any large groups as there is an abundance of space. Thank you Josh!!!!
Beech Hill Pond is a beautiful, four and a half-mile long, spring-fed lake located in Downeast Maine near Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It makes a relaxing vacation spot for anyone wanting to explore the Downeast Maine area, without the crowds of Acadia National Park. The setting for Beech Hill Pond couldn't be prettier – the crystal clear water is surrounded by peaceful mountains. Just a few of the activities available at Beech Hill Pond are swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or just relaxing and enjoying the views. The pond is one of several high quality coldwater
sportfish lakes in the Union River drainage.
For sightseers, a thirty-five minute drive takes you to Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park, which is the oldest national park on the East Coast. Ellsworth is only a 15 minutes away and also has shopping and restaurants, including fresh clam chowder and lobsters right off the boat.
Other Activities: Hiking, boat rentals, canoeing, kayaking and hunting nearby

Decided to spoil ourselves after a messy full moon week in koh phangan staying in a dorm! It is very luxurious and the look of the place is amazing but at the end of the day we were out all day and night so maybe not worth all the money we paid. But really good if your looking for a nice hotel stay! Food is amazing but pricey and the massage prices are so expensive but I guess your paying for the view and atmosphere. Really amazing place just not suited for us young backpackers

Name the Decade
Friday, January 01, 2010
Guests:David Segal
Comments [12]
The new decade will be taxing in many respects. I feel we should call them The Taxing 10s.
The "Decade of Mass Distraction"
It should be called the Naked Aughts in that the high and mighty were stripped of their pretenses and exposed for what they are. And the exposed and vulnerable were empowered by the internet.
"The Incompetent Years"
Failed to elect, predict, prevent, plan, help, save...
The "Bush Error" (era)
the AUGHTITIES
Aught is a synonym of Zero.
noun; A quantity of no importance. pronoun; Anything whatever.
Oddities is ; Eccentricity that is not easily explained; A strange attitude or habit; Something unusual -- perhaps worthy of collecting >noun
Clearly the AUGHTITIES !
From Y2k up to the Fruit of the Loom Bomber, this has been the Decade of Fear. And we really at though I fear it may sound cliche, we mostly only have Fear itself to Fear. The chance of any terrible event is MINISCULE, yet we treat the world as if it's out to kill and maim us. It's enough already. We've given up almost all empathy for the rest of the world let alone our own humanity, and we've as a country caused great suffering to many many more people than have suffered here. The Icon of Fear is being held up high to fire up a whole new decade, let's ignore it. Let's toss down the Fear and become a good strong people who can afford to not be afraid through internal strength.
The Uh-Ohs. Says it all
It should be called "The Decade Of Deception". From Enron to "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" to Tiger Woods to my own personal loss and betrayal it's been a decade of lies, deceit and false promises. The misconceptions and use of bad information as a means to an end goes even further back to the so called "Y2K" problem that never materialized to the extent that the well paid techs and experts predicted it would.
I am thinking that this decade should be called 'The Tenners'
Happy New Year
The ought(a)s. As in we ought(a) have insisted on a re-count. We ought(a) have slowed things down before invading iraq. We ought(a) have questioned why it was so easy to get mortgages. We ought(a) have asked "Yes we can. . .WHAT?" And on and on and on. . .

Young At Art Children's MuseumRead MoreIn 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans. Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.11584 Route 84Fort Lauderdale, FL US
International Game Fish AssociationRead MoreTo beat the all-tackle world record for a yellowfin tuna, you'd have to hook a behemoth weighing in the neighborhood of 450 pounds. Should any angler ever successfully snag such a fish, the record keepers of the International Game Fish Association will be among the first to announce the catch's confirmed stature. As part of their mission to conserve all types of game fish and to promote ethical angling practices, the IGFA representatives also advise fishermen on how to bring the catch ashore, verify its measurements, and release it while causing as little stress to the fish as possible. The association's conservation efforts continue with its IGFA Great Marlin Race program, a partnership with Stanford University that outfits fishermen with research equipment to achieve a better understanding of marlin biology and the cause of pruney fingers. The IGFA also keeps the community engaged with ethical game fishing by hosting school groups and summer camps for kids. Beyond this programming, the IGFA maintains a museum that honors the history of sport fishing and its legendary anglers.300 Gulf Stream WayDania Beach, FL US
Miami Science MuseumRead MoreThe Patricia and Philip Frost Museum has spent most of its life outgrowing its digs. It debuted in 1949 as a children's museum, which took off quickly and soon expanded into the Museum of Science and Natural History in 1952. In 1960, it again needed more space and moved to its current site, and now an even larger space is being built, set to open in 2016. But throughout all its physical changes, its mission remains the same, "We inspire people of all ages and cultures to enjoy science and technology, in order to better understand ourselves and our world." Size: as of now, the site stands at 48,000 square feet; plans for the new space will expand that to 250,000 square feet over five levels Eye Catcher: tour the Wildlife Center, where the staffers care for injured wildlife?specifically majestic birds of prey?and release them back into the wild Permanent Mainstay: the Planetarium, where PBS's Jack Horkheimer: Star Gazer was filmed, boasts a 65-foot-diameter domed projection screen Don't Miss: in the late afternoon, the planetarium hosts Legends of the Night Sky Laser Show, which teaches kids how to find constellations using lasers and Greek myths Hands-On Experiments: in Nano, kids manipulate large-scale mechanisms as they familiarize themselves with the principles behind nanoscience Special Programs: the museum?s Sea Lab features beautiful underwater creatures and coral reefs. Guests can get up close and personal as they reach out to touch a starfish or a sea urchin or have a cleaner shrimp nibble at their nails3280 S Miami Ave.Miami, FL US
Gold Coast Railroad MuseumRead MoreThe Gold Coast Railroad Museum began in 1956, when train enthusiast William J. Godfrey chanced upon the miles of abandoned railroad track snaking through the pineland of University of Miami's southern campus. He imported a newly retired steam engine to the premises, and a tribute to railroading history began. Now in a new location in Miami proper, the museum continues to honor trains' role in American history, with nine exhibits on locomotives, passenger cars, and the Richmond's Naval Air Station's fleet. Visitors can hop aboard a full-size diesel locomotive passenger coach, or take a ride a miniature children's railroad that's ideal for transporting shipments of Lincoln logs. Alternatively, they can run motorized or free-wheeling trains through a model railroad, which zips through mountain tunnels and circles around to-scale landscapes.12450 SW 152ND STMIAMI, FL US
Miami Art MuseumRead MoreThanks to a generous $35 million donation, the Miami Art Museum is now called the Perez Art Museum Miami, and has a shiny new home to match the label change. The Museum serves as the anchor to new 29-acre Museum Park, which overlooks glimmering Biscayne Bay. The updated digs were designed by Pritzker-Prize winning architects Herzog & de Meuron and are dedicated to international art of the 20th and 21st centuries, laid out across three stories. At more than triple the floor space of their previous home, the Perez is modern and contemporary, housing more than 1,300 works across a range of media. There is also Verde, a lovely waterfront restaurant and bar, where the menu is locally-inspired and created with seasonal ingredients.101 W Flagler StMiami, FL US
Wings Over Miami MuseumRead MoreWings Over Miami Air Museum serves as an ongoing tribute to the veterans and aviators who pioneered military and civilian aviation. The museum seeks to educate visitors about the rich history of aviation, the scientific basis of flight, and the many challenges faced during the evolution of flight.14710 SW 128th StMiami, FL US

Be it books or biryani, David Davidar looks for authenticity and bite
How do you get an author-editor-publisher to stop talking about books? Not easy on the easiest of days, the exercise is even more difficult when one is talking to a man whose very new publishing house is beginning to carve out its own niche. A bit of gloating is due and deserved. But then there is a reminder playing in my mind: I am here at Hyatt's Café for lunch with David Davidar, the man who is trying to steer Aleph Book Company into a segment very much its own. David might be all about books but the column is more about food.
Initially, he gives me the impression of being a man in a hurry. But once he settles down to talk of his love – publishing books – he smiles generously, chooses words carefully, showing as much skill in leaving out certain names and descriptions as in selecting others. A few minutes into our conversation across a table overlooking a pool, I find David ordering a club sandwich for himself. To that he adds watermelon juice. I opt for French fries and fish tikkas. But all along, David only talks of books. However, he polishes off his club sandwich without much ado that enables me to ask, "What prevented him from trying out something more sumptuous, maybe something that would help carry on a chat?" "No, it is a working lunch and I have to head back to office," he says, then adds helpfully, "I can eat practically anything. I am a carnivore. I have eaten a crocodile. I have eaten a kangaroo…." He is certainly not boasting of his exploits, merely stating that adaptability, not choice, governs his food matters.
As a publisher he is keen to bring out a food book that is readable, comprehensible and maybe, even "memorable". "We do not have very many good books on food. What we do have in India are cookery books. We need a good food book." "ASAP," I add. "Indeed," he nods in agreement, then gives a smile that tells me he is revealing only a little, concealing much more.
But hasn't that been the case with David, ever since he started publishing books, way back in 1987? "I have brought out a thousand titles," he states, this time his tone is a little more matter of fact. Pride, that wonderful expression of accomplishment, droops out of his eyes. Among all the authors, lit fests and the like, where does food find space in his scheme of things? "Oh! It very much does," he says. For proof, we order another club sandwich, which he agrees to have in part following some cajoling. "I love Japanese food; absolutely love sushi. I am looking forward to a time when there will be a sushi restaurant in every corner of the city." Like one finds chicken tikka and chowmein, one adds. And David gives one of his generous smiles, his mind envisaging the good times.
Yet for this food lover, food is an item best cooked by others. "I can only boil an egg!" Then he decides, it indeed is the right time to share some of the best kept secrets. That he is publishing Ruskin Bond, Ramachandra Guha, Valmik Thapar is probably an ill kept secret. What is not, is David's fondness for cakes. And biryani. And Malabar cuisine. And that from Hyderabad. Also Lucknow. Mouthful? Well, his food preferences are, to put it succinctly, varied. "I love biryani, be it Hyderabadi, Lucknowi or even that from Chennai. Each has its own distinct aroma, unique method of preparation. I love Malabar cuisine."
Distinct and unique as that love is, it is second to David's love for books. Now that calls for another rendezvous. Maybe next time in a bookshop!

Getting in the Christmas spiritPublished 11:15am Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Christmas is known as the most wonderful time of the year, at least according to the song made famous by Andy Williams and others.
I have to agree with him. People always seem to be in a better mood this time of year. You see more people smiling. Even though no one likes the hustle and bustle of the season, but it just adds to the excitement of the season.
We have numerous Christmas events coming up in the near future and I hope you won't miss out on those opportunities. Here's a few of the events:
• The Town of Priceville will lead off with its annual Christmas Parade on Sat., Dec. 1, beginning at 2 p.m. The parade will form on North Bethel Road and proceed through residential neighborhoods as it works its way south.
• The Town of Falkville will usher in the holiday season with its annual Christmas in the Park on Sun., Dec. 2 at 4 p.m. The event features a Christmas program with band music, singing of Christmas carols and the lighting of the town Christmas tree. The best part is that you can get free hot chocolate and home-baked cookies at the conclusion of the program.
• The Town of Somerville will celebrate the holiday with its annual Christmas Parade Sat., Dec. 8, at 4 p.m. And of course you can't have a Christmas event without food. A complimentary chili supper will be served at the Somerville Senior Center immediately after the parade.
• The Hartselle's Kiwanis Club is sponsoring the annual Christmas Parade on Thur., Dec. 13, at 7 p.m. It's the largest parade in our area, outside of Decatur, and it usually gets participation from the whole area. Santa will ride on the Hartselle No. 1 fire engine. And don't leave early because the kids can get candy from Santa's helpers at the end.
In addition to that, we will have our Christmas greetings section on Dec. 19. We will run Letters to Santa in that issue. Plus, if you have any recipes or Christmas stories that you'd like to share with our readers, we'd love to publish them in this issue as well.
Send them to us by Dec. 7 to ensure that they will be published by then.
We hope you enjoy this Christmas season and that you don't forget the reason for the season.
Brent Maze is the managing editor of the Hartselle Enquirer.

I stopped at an insurance agent to buy a couple weeks worth.
We went up the road to Vladikavkas & got a room. When we got to town, I found an ATM to get some rubles. While I was there, these 2 guys stopped. They were some sort of secret police, well, the one was, the other was Spesnost, Russian special forces. Nice guys, just curious about us. We asked them about problems in the region, as we are in North Ossetia now, but they said it was ok, a slight problem to the east thru Gushetia, and not to stop while we are there.
That night at the hotel, there was a wedding. Lots of people were there, and about 9pm we heard a ruckus outside. We looked down from the balcony, & a big fight broke out, about 15 guys & a couple girls. A couple of the guys got the shit beat out of them, it went on for 15 minutes or so. No shots were fired, no cops ever showed up. Poly was looking over the balcony, it was bothering her, so I told her not to look. Her reply, Im afraid Ill miss something!
I filmed most of it, but it was pretty dark, & didnt come out too good.
We had been looking at the map, & decided that instead of heading east to the Caspian & back along the same road (we were warned to stay on the main road only) that we would go to see Mt Elbrus, which is the highest point in the Caucus mountains, and if its in Europe (they are still arguing this point) that its the highest in Europe.
Theres a road that goes 100km to the base, then you have to backtrack, but my friend Dmitry from Moscow said it was worth seeing.
I felt better about this, because although I dont mind going into sketchy areas, I dont feel comfortable taking Poly there.
So the next morning we headed to Elbrus.

Royals, Eric Hosmer haven't discussed long-term deal
Nov 5, 2013, 7:30 PM EDT
From beat writer Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star …
Hosmer says no talks w/#Royals on long-term deal: "I'm locked in for another 4 years, and we have guys whose contracts expire before mine."
— Bob Dutton (@Royals_Report) November 5, 2013
That's a pretty mature — and certainly team-first — attitude from the 24-year-old first baseman.
Hosmer qualified for Super Two status with his 2.146 years of service time, so he'll be eligible for salary arbitration this winter and for the next three winters to come. The former No. 3 overall pick hit .302/.353/.448 with 17 home runs and 79 RBI in 159 games this year and .323/.379/.473 after the All-Star break.
Be on the lookout for a true breakout season from the prized Scott Boras client in 2014.
- cadillacjosh - Nov 5, 2013 at 8:10 PM
As a Boras client, if Hosmer continues this season, he will price himself right out of KC.

Baseball needs to fix its financial parity. Look in the nfl small market teams are more than capable of resigning there high priced talents. Baseball should find was to make this happen to so that fans can enjoy there stars for more than 5 to 6 yrs.
- jwbiii - Nov 5, 2013 at 10:47 PM
Really? Look at the Chiefs. During their entire history, they've had two starting QBs for more than six seasons. Are you pining for the Bill Kenney Era (7 seasons)? Len Dawson (12, counting one in Dallas), sure, but you have to be over 50. They've never had a #1 RB for even five seasons.
- tedwmoore - Nov 5, 2013 at 11:53 PM
Football seasons are a bit different than MLB seasons. How many running backs have 5+ year careers? How many QBs? At least as starters. Those lists are small compared to MLB players who could remain productive for 6+ seasons.
- kcrobert10 - Nov 6, 2013 at 1:01 AM
So the chiefs haven't had a great qb since Dawson. My point is they were able to sign and resign great players like Tony Gonzales, dt, now Jamal Charles, Bowe, dj, and so on. This is something the royals have never been able to do. Part of it is the owner but the other part is the way baseball is. It would be better for baseball if teams like the royals could keep there players just like teams in the nfl do.
- stex52 - Nov 6, 2013 at 8:25 AM
But baseball has never been that way. The trade is part of the game. Think of that great Boston star of the 1920's, Babe Ruth.
- Reflex - Nov 7, 2013 at 2:33 PM
Baseball compensates for this with an extensive player development system and locking every signed player into their team through the first six seasons, which is longer than the average NFL career.

Need an intermission from the six chapters of the Kilroy novella, but want to keep the Air Jordan Retro channel open? Jordan Brand will offer up an Air Jordan IX independent from Johnny Kilroy this November 3rd (the same release date as the Motorboat Jones) in this Black/White-Photo Blue colorway, which we all know has its own scintillating story of its own. Apparently a major snafu at the factory overseas led to mass-production of an alternate version, which in a way cleared up the story of whether or not two different Photo Blue IXs will release. We hope you like the white-sole version because, well, you have no choice! More angles below so expect these at Jordan Brand retailers on the scheduled release date of November 3rd because these are beginning to arrive in stockrooms.

text: Cape Town – Energy Minister Dipuo Peters reckons that the government is going to hit its targets both for supplying a million solar water heaters, and of getting 10 000 gigawatts of electricity from renewable sources by 2013. Giving written replies to questions from Sejamotopo Motau of the Democratic Alliance and Peter Smith of the Inkatha Freedom Party, Peters said that although Eskom has installed only about 1 500 systems government is already installing about 7 400 in Winterveldt. "The programme has been extended beyond Eskom in the past few months with the introduction of a government-led initiative," she explained. She added that the funding framework was only confirmed last month when energy regulator Nersa determined the multi-year payment scheme. She went on to say that suppliers installing solar water heater systems will have had their systems tested to the SANS national standard. This includes a thermal test on the systems. "The national standard has a minimum energy rating but not a maximum," she said. "Therefore there will be systems that are not as efficient in heating water as others, but they passed the minimum standard to heat water for their size according to the national standard. "A larger concern would be that there is no maximum limit placed on the systems, which results in systems being oversized, with the potential to heat water to a high temperature that could be dangerous to end consumers." Increased uptake of renewable energy projects"In 2009/10, few projects were commissioned," said Peters, "namely Bethlehem Hydro Project and the eThekwini landfill gas to electricity projects which added 10MW to the system but the total contribution to the 2013 target remains below 10%." However, she insisted that plans are now in place to bring this to the target total by 2013. These include the fact that new generation capacity regulations promulgated in 2009 will enable the procurement of power from independent power producers including those using renewable energy sources. These regulations define the institutional arrangement within which this procurement must be controlled, and are expected to expedite the procurement process of independent power producers as well as ensure that all future electricity plans are streamlined to correspond with the country's position on primary energy mix in general. She also anticipated that, through the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs (Phase 1 & 2) there will be an increased uptake of the renewable energy projects. "The department also made provision for RE contribution to the energy mix for 2013 period through the integrated resource plan 1 wherein the funding associated with this plan was also approved by the National Energy Regulator of SA," she said. "Lastly, the department is in the process of establishing an Independent System and Market Operator which will be responsible for buying power produced by independent power producers including RE generators qualifying under the REFIT procurement programme." - I-Net Bridge

HEHEHE. But if I were you I would finish the game at least once so that it won't spoil the fun. If you're stuck then that is the time you really need to read this (Only suggesting). I recommend to you that you maximize this window when reading,,, I will not tell you what happens in the uncontrolled scenes (cut scenes, cinematics or whatever you called it). I also recommend that you use Lucida Console fontstyle to view it better. This game, Shadow of Destiny has no battles like any other games, this game is full of strategy, less action, why less? Because there are still actions in some ways. The goal in this game is to keep the main character alive all throughout the game.

A story in the latest issue of Ward's Automotive Reports indicates that emergency personnel are having more trouble extricating victims from car crashes. The reason? New high-strength that is saving lives but at the same time leaving occupants trapped in vehicles.
According to the article, the Jaws of Life, the tool that so many first responders use to cut away car roofs or doors to remove victims, are unable to cut through the advanced steel alloys that are being used today for car roofs and B-pillars.
The use of the steel has undoubtedbly saved lives, as evidenced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's latest traffic fatality rates: 1.16 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and all-time low according to Ward's. But there is the tradeoff.
"I tell rescuers people are buying a car (today) that essentially has a NASCAR (race car) roll cage built into it," Ron Moore, battalion chief and training officer for the McKinney, TX, fire department, told Ward's Drew Winter.
The high-strength and ultra-high strength alloys offer dual purposes for car makers. One, they withstand impacts better, making the cars safer. Two, they are lighter, leading to more fuel efficiency.
"I have seen real-world crashes (where) the vehicles have gone through some significant impact rollover or whatever and the occupants are outside exchanging information with the cops when we pull up. Years ago, they would have been mangled in the vehicle," Moore said.
There is an option, but it comes with a price tag. A new cutting tool can slice through the steel, but at a cost of $5,000 each, Moore said it's a cost that many departments just can't afford.
Moore, along with several other organizations, including State Farm Insurance, is leading a teaching initiative to teach departments around the country how to extricate victims from vehicles. But it's a learning process.
Sometimes, safety is all that matters.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney has launched a court bid in a desperate attempt to have a judge allow her three children with ex-husband Simon appear on the hit Bravo show, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
The 46-year-old Bravolebrity wants the pair's kids — Sidney, 15, Spencer, 13, and Sophia, 8 — to appear on season nine of the reality program.
"Petitioner (Simon) is acting in bad faith," a furious Tamra told an Orange County, Calif., court in a request for an order that would force Simon to allow the minors to appear on camera.
"When he himself was on the show, prior to our separation, he had no issue at all in consenting to the children's participating.
PHOTOS: Real Housewives, Real Scandals: 28 Of The Biggest Scandals To Hit The Bravo Franchise
"Now that we are separated, the Petitioner refused to allow the kids to partake and has directly threatened legal action against the network."
Radar broke the story: Simon, who divorced Tamra in 2010, refused to allow the children to participate in his ex-wife's televised marriage to new husband Eddie Judge in June.
The pair share joint legal custody of the children.
Said Tamra: "Petitioner has threatened to sue the network that runs my show, should they allow the children to participate in the show though said participation shall fall within my periods of physical custody.
PHOTOS: Tamra Barney's Bachelorette Weekend At The Palazzo Las Vegas
"These threats have prevented me from exercising legal control over the minor children during my periods of physical custody as the network will not allow the minor children to participate in the filming of the Series due to the Petitioner's previous threats, without either the Petitioner's execution of a consent form or finding of this court that I may consent independently.
"The network will not allow our children to participate despite my consent. I have requested that the Petitioner sign an appropriate consent, but he refused."
The blonde fitness trainer — who joined the OC cast in season three — even told court that the pair's daughter, Sophia, has "expressed a desire to participate with me" in the series.
"I wish to provide her that opportunity," Tamra wrote.

"In fact, if our other children express a desire to participate in the future, I would also provide them with that opportunity."
Tamra's request for court intervention has set the stage for a showdown between the contentious pair, scheduled to be heard in court on December 20.
"I am not requesting any modification to the visitation orders and I am not proposing to infringe on any of the Petitioner's visitation time," Tamra wrote in the court request.
"The times that Sophia (or any of the other children) would be filming would be during my periods of physical custody.

"But for Petitioner's threats to the network, I would not be forced to make this application with the court.
"The existing Judgement does not require that I need Petitioner's consent to allow the children to participate in the filming of the show."
Lawyers for Tamra are arguing that under the family code, she may act alone to permit the children to participate in the show, but only during her periods of physical custody.
"The consent of the Petitioner (Simon) is not required," they argue.

Galoc oil field shut down for 3-month upgrade
popular .
Galoc Production Co. (GPC) has temporarily shut operations of the Galoc oil field off Palawan to allow for the upgrading of its facilities over the next three months.
Australian firm Otto Energy Ltd., which owns GPC, explained that the "shut in" began last November 23 in preparation for the transport of the Galoc floating production storage and offtake (FPSO) facility to the Keppel shipyard in Singapore, where it will be upgraded.
"The upgrade of the mooring system to a turret system is expected to substantially increase the reliability and uptime of the FPSO and is a crucial component of infrastructure to enable the Galoc joint venture to move ahead with a potential Phase II development program," Otto Energy explained in a regulatory filing.
Covered by Service Contract 14C, the Galoc oil field has produced 8.14 million barrels as of end-September this year, at a rate of about 6,500 barrels of oil a day.
The Galoc joint venture is already preparing for a possible phase 2 development of the field.
Otto Energy had said it was able to identify at least four potential locations, where it can drill as many as three new wells under the
second phase.

McCann Investigations Releases Video on the Risks of Not Completing Background Investigations in Partnerships
Partnerships can be risky without a thorough background investigation. Unknowing involvement with a "serial litigant" or fraudster can have dire consequence. McCann Investigations works with clients to help mitigate risks by performing in-depth background investigations utilizing multiple tools.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 25, 2012
McCann Investigations, a Texas-based private investigations and computer forensics firm is pleased to announce the release of a new case study titled "Risks of Incomplete Background Investigations in Partnership". McCann also released a video that accompanies this case study which summarizes McCann's services.
"We utilize different forms of online media to help our clients understand how we can work to resolve their complex business issues," says Daniel Weiss, Managing Partner and Licensed Private Investigator at McCann Investigations.
This case study and video highlight the potential risks of incomplete background investigations in partnerships. In most cases of proposed partnerships, background investigations are inadequate in determining the risks that may be involved. Fraudsters and con-artists involved in business may not have criminal backgrounds themselves, but may have a criminal element in their associations. "It's important to understand who a person's associates are," says Daniel Weiss, Managing Partner and Licensed Private Investigator at McCann Investigations. "There is some truth to the old saying, 'you are the crowd you run with.'"
There is also the possibility that the potential partner is a "serial litigant". Serial litigants are individuals who abuse the legal process for their own profit or gain. Often they are well versed in laws and regulations and use them to target a company. These individuals will use the court system as a way to extort money from companies or individuals and often use serial litigation as a means to make a living. Without an in-depth investigation of the partner's background, a long history of litigation would not be discovered.
