"Clean modern room, convienetly located near Disneyland. Great value for the money."
"I had a great stay at Super 8 near Disney. Very good value and basic all you actually need. There was no need to book into a top Disney hotel and we were only in our room for sleeping. The breakfast was very basic- waffle, fruit, yoghurt and cinnamon pastry. The Disney entrance is about a 10 minute walk away which was very convenient. When we arrived it looked like they were starting to install fridges into the rooms- We had one in our room. It did proof to be very handy as it kept the snacks for disneyland cold. I was also happy with the cleaning team- one of the beds in our room had items on it- the cleaner left a note saying sorry we could not change your bed lien as there were items on the bed, I found his very reassuring. Overall we had an amazing stay, Thank you"

"Friendly staff. I would be back again. Close to Disney."
"Lou & Nancy the owners greet you on arrive. Lou shows you to your room and gives tips to getting around. Rooms are large clean tidy with free WIFI. You can catch the bus or a Taxi to Disneyland but I walked it myself. It took about 40 minutes each way. 10 minutes by transport. You can walk in to Knott's Berry Farm Park in 10 minutes. I recommend you organise transport to Universal Studios being 1 hour away. Plenty of Eatery Places to use. Supermarket across the road. Now here is the great service that Lou and Nancy did for me. Checkout is 11 am but my transport to airport was 6 pm. Nancy & Lou gave me another room free of charge so I could be comfortable till pickup. Now that is service. I would recommend this Motel for all people to stay at, Solo traveler, couples & families. Good job Lou & Nancy for the fantastic service you both do in this Motel. Cheers"

A delay in recovering held-up funds of around Rs 6,000 crore from various government agencies is hampering Hindustan Construction Co Ltd (HCC)'s growth potential.
Ajit Gulabchand, chairman and managing director, said the company has not received any payments this year from the government agencies as matters are stuck in arbitration.
The delay is despite the company setting up a strategic team to recover the outstanding from the agencies including NHAI, NHPC and NTPC, among others.
Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is an avenue for resolution of disputes outside the courts.
Officials at the debt-laden construction company did not share specific details as the matter is in courts.
However, while addressing shareholders at last year's annual general meeting (AGM), Gulabchand had said nearly Rs 5,000 crore remains unpaid to the debt-laden infrastructure company from different government authorities. Of that, Rs 2,500 crore was related to various highway construction projects, and the rest in hydro-electric sector.
Abhinav Bhandari, analyst, Elara Capital, said the Rs 6,000 crore figure in most likelihood includes the interest component as well.
"The work-in-progress recovery amount mentioned in the company's annual report last fiscal was Rs 3,600 crore and I don't think there would have been any change in this figure so far. With matters reaching out-of-the-court settlement, HCC is only likely to receive the principal component," said Bhandari.
Parikshit Kandpal, analyst at Karvy Stock Broking, said HCC's current standalone debt is Rs 4,700 crore while net debt-to-equity ratio stood at 3.68. The company ended third quarter fiscal 2014 with an order book of Rs 13,400 crore; it won Rs 2,200 crore orders during the quarter. In addition, the company is also L1 (lowest bidder) in Rs 1,400 crore projects.
Analysts said HCC's balance-sheet is in bad shape and is the biggest problem for the company. They said delays in decision making process has certainly impacted the growth potential of the company and that HCC management's forecast of 10-11% margin in the future is not sustainable.
"Weak revenue visibility and an extended working capital cycle are major concerns for the company. We believe the stock will trade at a discount to fair value till revenue visibility improves and concerns on a leveraged balance sheet and Lavasa get resolved," said an analyst.
On payment-related matters getting resolved, an analyst said, "Any concrete progress in the recovery procedure can only be expected post elections once new leadership comes at the Centre."
As for its hill-city project under Lavasa Corporation is concerned, HCC said overall development work has picked up pace with over 5,300 construction workers on ground. Approximately, 628 residential units have been completed as of December 31, 2013. In Mugaon, around 10 lakh square feet development has commenced, while in Dasve around 8 lakh sq ft of residential, commercial and social development is underway.

53-year-old Zahir Ansari is a seasoned fighter. And after five years of battling the school's corrupt activities, he has won, but insists there is much more to fight for. "Most of the school's students belong to lower middle class backgrounds. I'm a taxi driver. A lot of us are labourers and struggle to make ends meet. Per year, we end up paying at least between Rs 15,000 and 20,000 to the school, which is illegal, apart from the regular fee," said says the taxi driver.
"I and a bunch of other parents and education activists wrote several letters to the education department. The school had collected Rs 40 lakh in the name of building funds two years ago. The state education department asked the school to return this money, which it hasn't. Even the local police did not lodge a complaint," he added. The school has also been collecting funds in the name of activity fee, PTA fee and funds for various functions and activities, he said.
For Ansari, the straw was when the future of his daughter was at stake. "My child was harassed by the management. She was threatened by the principal. When the principal told us that she will not part with the mark sheet or leaving certificate if I don't pay Rs 2,000, I had to approach the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Unless the school hands over the certificates, my daughter will not get admission for class 11 anywhere else. I hope the ACB brings a stop to their corrupt practices and takes action against the principal and management. All the parents will cooperate with the investigations," he said.

So while the rest of the world is not impressed with the US government's debt-ceiling debacle (a Chinese rating agency, Dagong, has lowered the US's rating from A+ to A), the US seems in little danger of losing its front-runner position exporting its cuisine around the globe. Russia has become the latest magnet for an explosion in American fast-food outlets, says the New York Times:
American fast food has been going global for years, of course. And China and India continue to be big expansion markets. But lately, the industry is finding a growing appetite for its fare in Russia — not only pizza, but Burger King's Whoppers, Cinnabon's Classic Rolls and Subway's barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, among others.
"As consumers have more disposable income they will spend it on fast food," Jack Russo, a fast-food industry analyst at Edward Jones, said in a telephone interview. He compares the market here to the United States half a century ago.
McDonalds's monopoly on the Muskovite fast-food market — it now has 279 restaurants in Russia, after opening the first in Pushkin Square in 1990 — is being threatened by Subway, which has 200 outlets. Wendy's is hoping to open 180 throughout Russia by 2020. Starbucks also has 47 stores.
Fast-food restauranteurs have some advantages in Russia. As the New York Times points out, Russia has a "fast food infrastructure": malls, highways with drive-through capacity, suppliers of frozen food and packaging. Russian consumers are also more and more affluent, largely due to "the trickle down from the nation's lucrative oil exports." While the average salary is $7,276 (versus $43,539 in the US), Russians have more funds available for discretionary spending:
They are unburdened by the hangover of consumer debt that has curbed American purchasing power. Nor do Russians have high medical bills because the health care system, if flawed, is largely socialized. The income tax is a flat 13 percent. And a majority of Russians own property mortgage-free, as a legacy of the mass privatization of apartments in the 1990s.
As a result, the fast-food chains find they can charge higher prices in Russia than in America. The average check at a Russian fast-food outlet — $8.92 according to research by a Wendy's franchisee here — is significantly higher than the United States average of $6.50.
While describing the lucrative efforts of a former United States National Nuclear Security Administration staffer, Christopher Wynne, to achieve pizza domination via Papa Johns' in Russia, the New York Times article doesn't raise one other irksome export. Not a day passes here in the US — where at least one-third of the adult population is obese — that one doesn't hear about a new study or claim about how bad fast food is for your health. Obesity, and health issues related to it including heart disease and diabetes, is on the rise in countries like Japan and India, where people have abandoned a traditional, far healthier diet and are also more sedentary in their lifestyle.
But no matter how bad everyone knows fast food is for them, people still get in line for their burgers, fries and pepperoni pie. Perhaps the takeaway lesson is: If you can't win the hearts and minds of people with democratic ideas and reforms, go for keeping their bellies full?

Thank you for sharing.
sad news
Thanks for the article.
While they are at it in Russia, making a pile of money, maybe they could spend some of it and rescue that poor bear, plus the cats, dogs, birds and any other animals which we read about recently on this website... you know, that retired circus bear, and those other animals that were with him. That description of how miserable the birds were, plus those poor cats, 'with their eyes covered in pus, just staring ahead of them'. I have been feeling totally horrified since reading that yesterday, and have found myself praying, 'God, please help them', over and over. Maybe the fast food crowd could spare a thought for animals like that in Russia... for the love of heaven, don't the Russians have ANY animal welfare organisations? Or are they too busy feeding their faces and gobbling down exciting US fast food?
i dont know what to really say about that i love mc donalds though
Oh, please save the poor forests in Russia that will be mowed down to make McDonald's Happy Meal and hamburger boxes and take out bags...
mcDonalds and KFC are popular in some developing countries it's sad.
We're doing the world such favors!!!
So it's none of your business what people eat. If people eat it once in awhile it's fine.
How many more brain deads can the world take. More fat humans walking about all over the globe. More forests being destroyed to grow crops to feed the cattle to feed the burger eating junkies! Sad world.

Practically an understatement. The way these guys have played this year, they could play in lawn chairs and still beat 3/4 of the NL. It's like playing McGyver.Real test awaits Reds
By Hal McCoy
Dayton Daily News
So, Cincinnati Reds fans, allow yourself some premature exuberation, then hunker down for this week's reality check.
The Atlanta Braves are coming, after winning six of their last seven games and wearing a name tag that says, "Legitimate First-Place Team."
Half the team on the DL? No problem, we'll just go back to the workbench and make a new lineup from innertubes and paperclips.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 45 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dee57 Great product and so user friendly A great fridge, lots of room and tons of adjustability. My only complaint is not being able to move the 2 full width drawers at the bottom. The full width Glide and Serve drawer has no use for me so I would have liked to remove it (all the other fridges we looked at were the same). All in all this is a great fridge and I am very happy with it. April 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick from Rhody This is the best refrigerator I have ever owned. This refrigerator has great storage and an excellent ice maker. It has easy access for the temperature controls for both the refrigerator and freezer and runs very quietly. April 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by daveme LG's moderate-size fits the bill pretty well designed but door shelves not quite what I'd like. also the spring-controlled separator strip between the two doors sometimes sticks in a halfway position-jams a bit. Other than those minor shortcomings, it's a nice appliance with great lighting and a sweet little reminder beep when you've been standing with the door open too long....you know, staring at the snack possibilities. April 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coco Fridge that's like a Tardis Wow! I absolutely love this fridge. Was unsure about size when we were shopping for it. Thought it wouldn't be big enough for our family of 4 and all the fresh food I like to have on hand. But, amazingly, it holds a lot of food. The freezer is in the same category...holds more than I'd imagined. I say everyday how much I love this fridge! May 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by charlie s very nice refrigerator Well designed interior and attractive exterior. Really like the storage drawers and the easy access to the contents of the freezer. Has a large ice bin and the ice maker does a great job of keeping it filled. The LED lighting gives a clean bright look to the interior. Very impressive energy conservation and quiet operation. March 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fay Enjoying this product so much So roomy, very easy to use, can't believe how much we love our refrigerator. It fit perfectly, and looks great. The shelves are adjustable and the drawers are perfect size. Great value for the price and sleek and shiny too! April 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jerome72 Great Refer! We have had our LG for about 6 weeks. It it really easy to use and it keeps food and frozen goods a correct temps. We are still adjusting shelves to fit our needs. Great lighting. It is well made and we are glad we bought it. April 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex "THIS REFRIG IS A GOOD VALUE" We love our new LG refrigerator. It's beautiful and nearly silent. It's much roomier inside than our last refrigerator (a side-by-side), yet the exterior is no larger. We're really going to miss it when it helps to sell our present home. We'll probably buy one just like it for our new home. For my kids is the first place to visit when they coming to the school.. they loved. My older son say, this refrigerator is wonderful. We love our new LG refrigerator. March 23, 2015

Bhutan cements democracy with neck-and-neck election race
Published on Jul 13, 2013 9:42 AM
THIMPHU (AFP) - The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan concludes its second-ever election on Saturday, with the race to form a government too close to call as voters give their verdict on five years of democracy.
The incumbent Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) party is up against the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to lead the "land of the thunder dragon", after two other groups were knocked out in a primary voting round in May.
Remote Bhutan's line of "dragon kings" ceded absolute power five years ago, introducing democracy to an electorate of fewer than 400,000 people.
The royalist DPT stormed the first election by a landslide in 2008 and won this year's primary round with 45 per cent of votes. But recent gains by the PDP have shaken up the contest.

White House decor shifts to holiday mode
November 28, 2005
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The centerpiece of the White House
holiday decor, an 18-1/2 foot (5.6 meter) Fraser Fir from North
Carolina, arrived at the president's residence on a horse-drawn
wagon on Monday as the Marine Corps band played "O Christmas
First lady Laura Bush attended the presentation of the
official first tree in the driveway. The tree will be set up in
the Blue Room.
"This is a very fun tradition, the delivery of the
Christmas tree to the White House," she said.
She said Santa's elves were already inside decorating the
executive mansion for the holidays in this year's theme — "all

Buy or rent a place
Published on Tuesday, 08 May 2012
Are you one of those people who still can't decide whether to buy a place or continue renting? Both ways have their benefits and this is why it is hard for many people to decide what to do.
One of the reasons people prefer renting to buying is the price. Renting is much cheaper and one doesn't have to pay a monthly mortgage. A disadvantage is that rent can change with time and there is nothing you can do about it, whereas when you own a place your mortgage payment is fixed and doesn't change. When you apply for a loan to buy a place, there is a lot of paperwork to do, so you need to be aware of the terms and conditions you are signing. Most contracts will span over 30 years. Buying a home for many people is a way of investment. With the fluctuations in the market you can expect appreciation in prices. When you rent any such appreciation doesn't benefit you, but your landlord. Moreover, any investment you do in the rented place doesn't get back to you. Still, there are people who just cannot afford buying and their only solution is renting. However, renting for a long period ends up more costly than buying and then paying off your debt in reasonable monthly dues. Renting is not so bad when you have a clear goal. Renting in order to save money to buy a home is what most people do. This also allows you to shop for the things you want for your future house one by one without spending a fortune at once. Buying a house does cost a fortune these days and especially if you want a family home big enough for children, with a good location. Houses are costly but are definitely worth the money. Owning property is a lifetime investment which your children and grandchildren can inherit. Having your own place and decorating it the way that it feels like home and reflects your taste gives a great feeling. It is not just buying a house, though; you need to think of all the costs around moving, taxes, insurance and so on. When you rent a place most of these issues are your landlord's responsibility. Any maintenance costs and repairs are included in the monthly pay, so even if you don't have to do things yourself you are getting charged for them. This is why renting costs are getting higher and higher these days. Another thing you cannot control when renting is its location - sometimes you have only few choices and usually it comes down to the cheaper one. If you are not allowed to do renovations in the place you will most probably spend a lot of time living in a place which just doesn't fit you. That's why owning a house is always the wiser thing to do, even if it doesn't look like that at a certain moment in your life. However, it is the security which it brings that you will love and cherish. The thought that you can do anything with the place without asking permission, that you can renovate it and one day sell it for a much bigger price that you have paid, the calm assurance that nobody can kick you out. It is a serious investment, but it will secure your happiness for the rest of your life. Talk to people you trust who have knowledge on real estate and start looking even if you can't afford it yet - having a clear idea of the area, the size and the style of your dream home will prove to be useful when you can.

Labelling of foodstuffs
The European Union (EU) is improving the rules concerning the labelling of foodstuffs so that consumers have essential, legible, and comprehensible labelling at their disposal in order to make informed choices when buying products. For public health reasons, the new rules strengthen protection against allergens.
Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 concerning consumer information on foodstuffs, amended by Regulations (EC) No. 1924/2006 and (EC) No. 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Directive 87/250/EEC of the Commission, Directive 90/496/EEC of the Council, Directive 1999/10/CE of the Commission, Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 2002/67/EC and 2008/5/EC of the Commission and Regulation (EC) No. 608/2004 of the Commission.
This Regulation merges together Directives 2000/13/EC on the labelling of foodstuffs and 90/496/EEC on nutritional labelling in order to improve the level of consumer information and protection in Europe.
This Regulation applies to food business operators at all stages of the food chain. It applies to all foodstuffs intended for the final consumer, including those served by mass caterers, or intended to be delivered to mass caterers.
This Regulation applies without prejudice to the labelling requirements provided for in specific European Union (EU) provisions applicable to particular foodstuffs.
General requirements
The nature of the labelling, the presentation of the foodstuff, and the publicity for it must not:
- mislead the consumer as to the characteristics, the properties or the effects of the foodstuff;
- attribute to any food the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease (with the exception of natural mineral waters and foodstuffs for particular nutritional usesfor which specific provisions exist).
Information on foodstuffs must be precise, clear and easy to understand by the consumer.
Responsibilities of the operator
The operator under whose name or business name the food is marketed or the importer (if that operator is not established in the EU) is responsible for the information relating to the foodstuff. They must ensure the presence and accuracy of the information in accordance with the applicable European food legislation and requirements of relevant national provisions.
Where foodstuffs are prepacked, the required information must appear on the prepackaging or on the label attached to it.
Where foodstuffs are not prepacked, the food information must be sent to the operator receiving the foodstuffs so that the latter is in a position to provide the information to the end consumer, if necessary.
Mandatory particulars
The mandatory particulars must be easy to understand and visible, clearly legible and, where appropriate, indelible. The height of «x» the characters must be at least 1.2mm (except for small-sized packaging or containers).
The mandatory particulars concern:
- the name;
- the list of ingredients;
- the substances causing allergies or intolerances (nuts, milk, mustard, fish, grains containing gluten, etc.);
- the quantity of certain ingredients or categories of ingredients;
- the net quantity of the food;
- the date of minimum durability or the 'use by' date;
- any special storage conditions and/or conditions of use;
- the name or business name and address of the food business operator or importer;
- the country of origin or place of provenance for certain types of meat, milk or where failure to indicate this might mislead the consumer;
- instructions for use where it would be difficult to make appropriate use of the food in the absence of such instructions;
- for beverages containing more than 1.2 % by volume of alcohol, the actual alcoholic strength by volume;
- a nutritional declaration.
The mandatory particulars concerning the name, net quantity and the alcoholic strength by volume shall appear in the same field of vision.
The mandatory particulars must be in language which is easy to understand by the consumer, and, if required, in several languages.
Omission of certain mandatory particulars
Specific provisions are provided for:
- glass bottles intended for re-use;
- small-sized packaging;
- the nutritional labelling of foodstuffs listed in Annex V;
- beverages containing more than 1.2 % by volume of alcohol.
Voluntary information
Information provided voluntarily must meet the following requirements:
- it shall not mislead the consumer;
- it shall not be ambiguous or misleading;
- it shall, where appropriate, be based on the relevant scientific data.
Furthermore, the voluntary food information shall not be displayed to the detriment of the space available for mandatory food information.
The Commission shall adopt measures to ensure that the voluntary information indicating:a) the accidental presence of substances causing allergies or intolerances, b) the acceptability of a food for vegetarians or vegans, and c) the reference intake for specific categories of the population, etc., meets the aforementioned requirements.
Date of application
This Regulation shall apply from 13 December 2014, with the exception of the provisions concerning the obligation to provide a nutritional declaration, which shall apply from 13 December 2016.
The date of application of Annex VI concerning the name of the food and specific accompanying particulars is set as 1st January 2014.

Cooney study leaves new questions for educational media creatorsKID INSIGHT / TV
Scott Traylor, founder and CEO of Boston-based 360KID, views the latest Joan Ganz Cooney Center report entitled Learning at Home: Families' Educational Media Use in Americaas a springboard for a larger discussion surrounding children's engagement levels with educational content.
NPD: US toy sales dipped 1% in 2013, but youth electronics had the most to gainCONSUMER PRODUCTS / GEAR / iKIDS / KID INSIGHT
Despite the US toy market seeing overall gains during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping periods, overall 2013 retail dollar sales of toys saw a 1% drop over 2012. That's according to research firm The NPD Group, which found that the largest sales growth occurred within youth electronics.
Apple names top kids apps of 2013iKIDS / KID INSIGHT / MOBILE
Disney Animated has been crowned 2013′s iPad app of the year, according to Apple's annual Best of iTunes list, which also made its picks for the year's most innovative children's apps.
Isn't it ironic? Tablets and VOD are helping traditional TViKIDS / KID INSIGHT / MOBILE / TV
With mobile usage among kids soaring and on-demand deals popping up daily, it's easy to forget about good old TV for a minute. But Americans surely haven't. In fact, according to Nielsen's December 2013 cross-platform report, traditional TV is the most-consumed form of media among all demographics by a long shot. However, what's being viewed as the largest areas of growth this past year is the usage of VOD, as well as ownership of tablets within TV-watching households.
Tablets top parents' holiday lists, says PBSGEAR / iKIDS / KID INSIGHT / MOBILE
With tablets dominating US Black Friday sales last weekend, a takeover appears to be in full swing. Perpetuating the trend are new numbers from PBS Kids that indicate tablets are tops on parents' holiday tech purchases list, edging out videogame consoles by more than 10%.

This week, University of Chicago economists Matthew Gentzkow and Jesse Shapiro open up about their research suggesting that TV's arrival in the US had a beneficial effect on students' cognitive achievement. I spotlight the economists' unique methodologies and I chat with them about the detective work of finding patterns in reams of data.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This summer, even washing your hands can be a festive event! Make these July 4th star soaps by Bramble Berry for a fun 4th of July craft, and you can show your patriotism through homemade soap.
- 16 oz. Clear soap
- 4 oz White soap
- Stars Soap Mold
- Slim Square Soap Mold
- Liquid Blue Colorant
- Non-bleeding Red Colorant
- Beach Breezes Fragrance Oil
- Glitter
Yields 4 Soaps
- Melt 4 ounces of white melt and pour soap base, stir in your favorite fragrance oil. Fill each star cavity. Let cool and unmold.
Variation: Add Liquid Red or Liquid Blue to 4 ounces clear soap base with a splash of glitter if you want to embed colored stars.
- Melt 16 ounce of clear soap base in the microwave. Add a tiny bit of liquid blue colorant to get a clear effect (for more info on the "bluing" technique see this Soap Queen TV video). Do not add fragrance at this time.
- Pour a 1/8" thick layer of the clear soap into each cavity of the Slim Square and spritz with rubbing alcohol.
- Spritz the thin clear layer of soap and soap stars with rubbing alcohol. Then pour another thin layer of clear soap into each cavity and place your stars into the melted soap. Make sure that your soap is around 125 degrees to avoid melting the soap stars.
- To the remaining melted clear soap base, add your favorite fragrance oil and either red or blue colorant (and glitter if you're feeling sassy). Mix well.
- Spritz the cooled layer of soap with the stars and pour your final colored background layer. Spritz again with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any air bubbles. Let the soaps cool, pop them out of the mold and celebrate the 4th of July with your friends and family.

Well buddy you would have been 13 if they cancer didn't take you away. Thank you to all our Catster friends who sent presents and well wishes. I hope Catster can fix itself so you can reply to diary entries soon. I haven't been here much because so many things are still broken.
I still think of you occasionally, Sarge, and miss you not being around. I remember how you'd greet me at the door and always want to be close by. You were grateful for every day I had you and I was grateful for every day you spent with me.
Lena and Pepi are doing all right. Lena has decided she loves to sit on my left shoulder which is ruining my posture. Pepi is slowly learning that it's OK to sit on my lap.
All of us remember the good times. Thank you, Sarge.
I call 2012 the "Year of Loss", those who've read "Earth Abides" would understand the reference. I lost Sarge, my favorite MMORPG, sci-fi convention, and my parents and closest friends lost a pet. But losing Sarge was the worst. He was sick for so long and we tried so hard to make him better. It was emotionally draining. Thank goodness for my family and friends who supported me. Sarge was strong up until the end. I let him go before his decline turned into a free-fall. He stopped eating a few days before to tell me he was ready. Still, on his last day he jumped up on the bed to get pets and chased a chipmunk when I was holding him outside. I'm glad I was able to spare him the pain that would be coming.
I still feel his loss. My other cats don't greet me at the door when I get home from work but they do follow me around and sleep on the bed with me. I think Lena still misses him in her own way. I'm glad Catster is still around. I have his page bookmarked at work so I see his pictures every morning when I arrive at the office and click the link to the greatergood website for animals in his memory.
Sarge was a cat cursed by biology and a tragic past. I gave him the best life he could and he returned my love every day. I miss you, Buddy.
Even though Caster won't be vanishing tomorrow, Dad is still saving our pages. This may still be one of my last entries since I've passed on over a year and a half ago. Dad still thinks there's going to be some big changes to Catster in the near future. Remember, one of the reasons they were going to shut down was because of all the bugs that have developed in the system. Dad has worked on websites for years and sometimes the best thing you can do is to chuck the old code and start fresh. Now if everything is in a database, all of us and our pictures, diary entries, etc should be safe. The pages may even look the same but things would be different under the hood.
I hope they'll take advantage of this chance to improve things to fix some long-time annoyances. Things like making a CotD somecat who hasn't been on the site for years and only have one picture. You know, those bare bone entries. It's worse when you know the kitty must have went to the bridge by now because we don't live that long. Yep, there's a bunch of things that can be improved now that the technology has advanced. Maybe they can make a mobile version of the site too (assuming there isn't one already).
To my fellow felines, don't forget to love your people.

Creep Stacking
Creep Stacking is the process of drawing neutral creeps away from their camps in order to increase the number of units in an area. Generally, neutral creeps will spawn in the first 30 seconds of the game and at every minute thereafter. However, new creeps cannot spawn if a unit such as a player or a ward is present. By pulling neutral creeps beyond their camp boundaries, the game will generate a new set of creeps for the player to interact with in addition to any remaining creeps. This is incredibly time efficient, since it effectively increases the amount of gold available for a team. In many cases, a support who has stacked a substantial amount of creeps can build a sizable chunk of gold for fellow teammates. However, this can work against you if the enemy team reaches your camps first.
To stack a camp, you can either attack a unit in the camp or simply walk close to it. The neutral creeps will then attempt to chase you for a few seconds before returning to their initial position. Most camps can be stacked at around the 53-54 second mark. However, this timing varies depending on the spawn box size and the type of units involved. If done correctly, a new set of creeps will spawn at the minute mark.
The above method can be done multiple times, but timing might start to differ, as some creeps have auras which affect movement speed. Furthermore, all neutral camps can be stacked indefinitely, so long as all the creeps have escaped the camp boundaries.
Advanced Techniques[edit]
Certain heroes can stack creeps very quickly, such as Tinker, Clockwerk, and Kunkka. With careful positioning and timing, Tinker can stack multiple camps at once using March of the Machines. Rocket Flare can block a camp or stack it from anywhere if Clockwerk damages the creeps. Torrent can temporarily eject units beyond the vertical boundaries of their spawn box if you use it just prior to the minute mark.
By using ranged abilities, some heroes can attack and stack creeps at little to no risk. For example, Alchemist, Medusa, Bristleback, and Beastmaster can attack ancient camps at a distance using Acid Spray, Split Shot, Quill Spray or Wild Axes. With some trees cleared, the Radiant ancient camp can be attacked from the ridge near the secret shop. The Dire side is even easier due to high ground and the creeps can be reached quite easily from the upper ridge.
Creep Pulling[edit]
See also: Creep Pulling
Although quite difficult to pull off, lane creeps can be used to absorb most of the damage dealt by a neutral camp. To do this, pull a neutral camp toward incoming lane creeps such that the incoming wave gets drawn toward the jungle. With careful timing, the camp will stack and the lane creeps can even be pulled toward harder camps which normally wouldn't interact with the incoming wave. If done incorrectly, any remaining creeps will venture back into the lane and eventually push out the creep equilibrium.
- The Ghost reduces your movement speed by 20%, making the easy camp more difficult to stack if it's present.
- The medium camp closest to the top T2 dire tower can be pulled; to do so it has to be done around the -:56 mark so the creeps are on the way down the steps and don't have vision of their camp

I am looking for a team to assistant coach around the Nashville or surrounding areas for the summer. I am more than happy to work with any age group. Currently, I am living in Murfreesboro, TN for the summer while I intern at National Pro Fastpitch.
A little bit about me,
I am 21 years old, originally from College Station, TX where I graduated from High School. During my first two years of collegiate softball, I played at the University of Minnesota, Crookston which is an NCAA Division II institution. After my Sophomore year, I transferred to Saint Gregory's University which is an NAIA institution located in Shawnee, Oklahoma. I just completed my junior year of college and am looking forward to graduating next Spring!
I am a catcher/Infielder. At Saint Gregory's, I primarily played as a pinch hitter and helped my team advance all the way to the NAIA World Series this past May where we placed 5th in the nation overall. I am looking forward to (hopefully) another winning season with my team next year!
I would love the opportunity to mentor and teach those who love the game as much as I do. It's not just about winning and losing, it's about the life lessons you learn and the memories that will carry with you throughout a lifetime. It is important for young girls to understand that no matter what level of college ball they decide to play at, it requires a tremendous amount of hard work, discipline and dedication- but most of all, it's about having fun!
I am hoping to be compensated if possible as my internship is unpaid. However, please feel free to call or email me and I would be happy to discuss further or answer any questions!
Cell: 520-909-3761
Thank you for your consideration.

Wow. Good stuff. The strong dialogue that's been a staple of the series is still there, but the suspense hinted at in the opening scene really explodes in the end scene. Very well written. Nice heat in the middle, too. Recommended.

I want to give part eight all of the stars. Just as seven skimped on the sex with a healthy dose of plot, we come into the cafeteria line and make sure that the old lady gives us a double helping of sex to go along with our plot. We've got a big appetite, growing boys and girls, you know?
At His Warning is a sexy, sexy time, equal parts dialogue, sex, plot, sex and dialogue. And sex. This is one of the hottest scenes yet, although I won't spoil it for would-be readers.
My review, though usually lengthy and full of praise can be boiled down to this: You'll be reading one-handed, no doubt about it. Also, take off your undies, they might spontaneously combust for every bit of hot, hot romance stuffed into this short.

"Most ideas pass you by. Most of the ideas on your bookshelf, in your newspaper, even in your conversation pass you by. They aren't for you right now. How some item becomes timely, relevant, possible, and beguiling – able to cross over the blood/brain barrier into action – that's our topic for these discussions."
"Jazz the Way The Old Guys Played" – A sax player comes up the hard way, touring with the old guys. He moves to Manhattan because that is the place to prove things. But can he make anybody understand that the way he learned jazz matters? Will the old ideal be forgotten for academic music?
Mark you calendar for the third discussion in the series on May 6, 2013.

Tiger's run of wins is simply unbelievable
Updated: October 9, 2006, 3:42 PM ETBy Tim Rosaforte | GolfDigest.com
Before we get around to whether it's a streak or not, the overview from this seat is that, yes, it's better than 1999-2000.
I never thought that until last week, when Tiger Woods won his sixth straight (stroke-play) tournament, powering through a case of golf burnout with a performance that was every bit as dominating as any before.
I always thought the Butch Harmon brand of Tiger was more consistent, tighter at the top of the backswing, better built for majors. (He did win ...
