Comments about RVCA BERENICE MAXI SKIRT:
Bought it for travel, because this print and style would go with anything, and almost anywhere! Was very disappointed to return it - the fit was very snug, and it was six inches too long - I got a small, and am 5'3", 108 lbs. Medium was sold out

Comments about RVCA BERENICE MAXI SKIRT:
This skirt is so easy to wear and great for fall, I've thrown numerous different tops on with it. Fabric is thicker than most maxi skirts, as well as tighter, but it shows off figure really well.


text: Alone in his car heading west, it's easy for Jason to feel sorry for himself and mad at the world. But then he gives a ride to Hector and learns that life isn't as negative as we sometimes see it, and that the prejudice and discrimination that he's experiencing aren't unique to him--and aren't impossible to overcome. The friendship between this young man and his 70-year-old passenger is an inspiring story of love and of dealing with obstacles in life. It's a story that you'll treasure long after you're finished reading.

Microsoft director of product planning Albert Penello took it up to NeoGAF to drop a confirmation that Xbox One controllers will work on PCs once the drivers are available. When they will be available isn't known — Microsoft said before that compatibility will be coming in 2014. His posts come after a rumor stated that PC drivers for the Xbox One controller aren't coming as planned.
"When the drivers become available, they will work with the existing controllers," Penello wrote. "There is no plan to do a new, separate controller that only works on Windows. It will be the same as it is on Xbox 360 – the Xbox One controller you have today will work."
Penello also added that it's possible Microsoft may release a new PC SKU of the Xbox One controller much like how it released a PC version of the Xbox 360 controller in the past.
In a reply, he said that the wired mode will work as-is with the Xbox One controller but Microsoft is determining on options to make the controller work in wireless mode for the PC.
"No more updates on the timeframe beyond what's been publicly stated – the plan is this year," he said. "When the update comes out and we have more details, I can explain the holdup."
In the mean time, interested people who don't have the patience for Microsoft's drivers can try out these unofficial PC drivers built by Lucas Assis.

Shabbat, the day of rest, is considered the most important Jewish holiday—and it happens every week!

And don't forget to follow @DailyKosComics and @MarkFiore while you're at it!
America can't afford this sort of change.
They want you to believe it's a new day and the past is behind us.
Forget about jobs, they say, or the billions of dollars in job creation.
They want to put a stop to six billion dollars in free market activity that's good for the economy, good for America.
If they have their way, one of the fastest-growing sectors of our economy is coming to a screeching halt, today.
Don't let "voters" stop the campaign.
Political Spending is America's economic powerhouse.
Sure, "voters" are having their say, but what about the campaigns that stimulated the economy to the tune of six billion dollars?
The Citizens United stimulus worked, just ask the thousands of copywriters, political operatives, consultants, video editors and ad executives-- now looking for work.
Why, independent political groups alone spent nineteen million dollars a week in September, thirty-three million a week in the beginning of October, and seventy million a week by the end of October.
Political spending and campaign ads mean jobs!
What would this economy look like if voters and a job-killing "election" hadn't put a stop to the boom?
It's time we got America working again, it's time for . . . a perpetual campaign.
(Paid for by a coalition of political consultants, operatives, copywriters, pundits, national broadcast outlets and ominous narrators like myself.)

Stamford Middle School Welcomes Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno to Learn to Say 'Yes' to a Healthy Lifestyle and 'No' to Underage Drinking
NORWALK, Conn., April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and Diageo, the world's leading spirits, wine and beer company, and industry leader in promoting responsible drinking, marked the occasion by congratulating Apolo Ohno, the most decorated US Winter Olympian for presenting The Century Council's interactive 'Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix' program at the Cloonan Middle school in Stamford.
Guy Smith, Executive Vice President, Diageo North America, a founding member of The Century Council, said of the event, "Diageo employees are mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers too, and we never want kids to consume our products. We know that educating them about the dangers of underage drinking can help and that is why Diageo is proud to support Apolo Ohno in his work with The Century Council and the Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix initiative."
The Century Council created an interactive, physical fitness activity that builds on the existing Ask, Listen, Learn program and encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking." The activity, as well as a supporting website, encourages kids to live a healthy lifestyle. The website also provides parents with information and strategies to help jumpstart the conversation about the dangers of underage drinking.
"The decisions I made as a young teen heavily influenced where I am today. In fact, many of the decisions I've made off-the-ice have contributed the most to my success," said Apolo Anton Ohno, winner of eight record-breaking Olympic medals in short-track speed skating. "I truly believe that healthy habits and positive choices start at childhood which is why I'm proud to work with The Century Council to spread healthy messages, including 'say no' to underage drinking, to kids across the country."
Brandy Nannini of The Century Council added, "According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 17% of 12 to 14 year olds report they have consumed alcohol in the past month. Our Ask, Listen, Learn program has the potential to further reduce these numbers, as 80% of 12-14 year olds believe alcohol education has made a difference in the decision they have made regarding alcohol."
Apolo Ohno will also appear at Diageo's North American headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut, later in the day to present 'Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix' once more to employees and their middle school aged children.
Diageo is the world's leading premium drinks business with an outstanding collection of beverage alcohol brands across spirits, beer and wine. These brands include Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, J&B, Windsor, Buchanan's and Bushmills whiskies, Smirnoff, Ciroc and Ketel One vodkas, Baileys, Captain Morgan, Jose Cuervo, Tanqueray and Guinness.
Diageo is a global company, with its products sold in more than 180 countries around the world. The company is listed on both the New York Stock Exchange (DEO) and the London Stock Exchange (DGE).

Sometimes speakers amplify interference from my iphone - the dreaded cell chatter. Are the Zeppelin Air speakers shielded so this will not happen?
- Asked by Jack W from Enloe
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air Speakers with 30-Pin Connector
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
I use my iPhone 4 all the time, and have had no problems. When I get a call, the music stops, and I just take the phone off the cradle arm and answer the call. BEWARE: the Zep. Air HATES bumper covers on phones, it won't connect properly if you have a cover on your iPhone, and won't work. Take your bumper cover off before placing your phone on the arm, and it will work just fine. And no need to use "airport" mode on your phone, just leave phone on like you always do.

Zeppelin Air is certified 'made for iPhone' so you won't experience interference.

- Jared Shanker, ESPN Staff Writer
INDIANAPOLIS -- Turnabout is fair play, and Lonnie Johnson (Gary, Ind./West Side) is starting to play the recruiting game.
A longtime Ohio State lean who wanted to commit to the Buckeyes a few months ago, Johnson stopped himself short of naming Ohio State his leader Monday.
Asked if Ohio State was still his top school, Johnson said: "Yeah, Ohio State," then paused before he said "... really I got a three-headed dragon: It's Illinois, Nebraska and Ohio State. They're all at the top of my list. I don't know where I'm going to go at this point."
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound athlete was offered by Ohio State in December and wanted to commit shortly after, but the staff told Johnson to hold off on a decision a little longer.
Now, Johnson said the Buckeyes' archrival Michigan is coming into the picture.
"They said once they get my transcript they're going to offer me soon," Johnson said. "Once they come back to the school and get my transcript, hopefully I'll look for an offer."
Johnson said he does not know much about Michigan, but he figures he would play receiver in Ann Arbor. He is looking forward to what the Michigan offense has in store in 2013 as it adapts to a more pro-style attack.
"They throw the ball and since Denard is going to be gone, I look forward to them throwing the ball a lot more now," Johnson said.
Indiana is among the schools recruiting Johnson, and as a result, Texas A&M is now, too. Former Hoosiers assistant Mark Hagen left Bloomington for Texas A&M, and he let Johnson know the Aggies have him on their radar.
Johnson said Hagen reached out to him out of the blue, but he was happy to hear from Hagen. The two did not talk much when Hagen was at Indiana, but Johnson wants that to change.
"He hit me up and said 'I'm at Texas A&M and I'm gonna start recruiting you,' " Johnson said. "If I get an offer maybe I can play with a Heisman Trophy winner [Johnny Manziel]."
Nebraska is also named among Johnson's top schools, and he sees similarities between what the Huskers do offensively and what he does on his high school team.

Interior Department fights drilling moratorium ruling
Federal lawyers are preparing to defend the Obama administration's moves to shut down offshore drilling in the wake of BP's oil 2010 oil spill before an appellate panel on Wednesday.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was scheduled to hear an appeal by the Interior Department challenging a contempt of court finding U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman issued in February 2011. Feldman chided the department for its "dismissive conduct."
In June 2010 Feldman overturned a decision to halt new permits for deepwater projects and suspend drilling after the Deepwater Horizon blast, which killed 11 workers and triggered the massive spill. But after Feldman overturned the moratorium the Interior Department issued a second nearly identical suspension.
Feldman then ordered the Obama administration to pay attorneys' fees for companies that sued.

"Flak" Houses then and Now: The Story of American Rest Homes in England During WWII.
In 1942, recognizing the need to provide aircrews effective rest and relaxation, the USAAF established combat Rest Homes. Operated by the US Army Service Command with the assistance of the Red Cross, the combat Rest Homes, known as 'flak' houses, offered aircrew the opportunity to take a break in as civilian-like an environment as possible. This short term break, usually taken midway through an airman's combat tour, provided the necessary rejuvenation to allow crews to effectively continue the air war against Germany.
The term "flak" house is gallows humor, with the term "flak" being slang for German anti-aircraft fire. While visiting a "flak" house, airmen wore civilian clothes (provided as necessary). The only uniform worn was a service dress for dinner. This was done to keep the environment as nonmilitary as possible and, thus, maximize relaxation. Red Cross girls helped entertain the airman via activities such as tennis, horseback riding, skeet shooting, and dancing. Meals were often served in bed; and all meals included fresh, well-cooked food.
Thomas documents the sixteen official rest homes as well as four informal rest homes set up by individual wings. He details the particulars of the property such as its size, amenities, and location and also notes whether the site was used for officers or enlisted personnel. Mixed in with details of each house are anecdotal stories from previous guests. These stories help to bring the book to life and provide more meaning than would a simple repetition of facts.
The pages of the book are filled with black and white photos of each 'flak' house and its aircrew guests. In keeping with the After the Battle publishing focus, there are photos of how the various locations appear today, as well as details about the houses' current functions. Unfortunately, the photos tend to be small. Interestingly, the differences between the "then" and "now" photos is only minor in most cases, even sixty years after the war.
"Flak" Houses is an import and may be difficult to find. Also, because it is a limited import book, the price is a bit steep. While the book obviously targets a specific niche market, it does give the reader a small glimpse into the lives of World War II American airmen and details about the "flak" houses that are often mentioned in American airmen's memoirs.

Deltas are great!
I''ve read long threads in the past about everyone''s favorite or most hated anchor. Sorry for boring everyone with mine.
We just spent the weekend at anchor in Eastern Long Island, trying to get away from the world for a couple of days.
The winds are shifty in New England these days, what with Erin and Gabrielle spinning off the coast. Those shifting winds generated four complete 180 degree swings around our Delta anchor. Two swings happened in the middle of the night.
As far as we could tell, the anchor reset itself perfectly every time. Unlike the similar CQR, the Delta doesn''t have a pivoting device, so it must reset itself when the boat swings around it.
The bottom? Hard sand, we think. The chart says "stk" but the anchor came up clean as a whistle.

"2 weddings within 6 months-whew! Ordered Rehearsal Dinner invitations for both from WPD and both orders, although different, were absolutely beautiful. The invitations were simple to customize and arrived ahead of schedule."
"I really loved this product. The quality of the paper and printing is great, and I received my order very quickly! I would definitely recommend this for your rehearsal dinner invites."
"This invitation has a lovely, formal look on high quality card stock paper with elegant type fonts! It is small, but, feels good in your hand and worked well for us. Envelopes provided are also of great quality. Always check measurements given and be aware that the body print of this invitation is in very small type--9-10 point. I will order from this company again!"
"We used this card for our rehearsal dinner and to give guests all the information they need about the rehearsal before. I absolutely loved the idea of a postcard so we were able to provide dinner details on one side and ceremony rehearsal details on the other side. The paper quality was fantastic and the print quality was good. My only concern was that the large script where it states Practice was not as sharp as I thought it should have been, but it would not be enough of a reason to keep me from re-ordering the product or to keep me from recommending to someone else. As always customer service was fabulous! I even had a little glitch with shipping due to the labor day holiday and customer service refunded the shipping charge immediately, although I didn't expect or ask for that. Truly a great product from an excellent company."
"I liked the postcard idea. All of the information was covered with one item. The card could be used for both the wedding party members and those guests that were invited to the rehearsal dinner and not part of the rehearsal. Concise and compact....that's what we needed to convey a more relaxed event hosted by the groom's family."

"This isn't a story about how good triumphs. Good people are going to die." When you get tired of manipulative terror alerts and flag-waving, you can always turn to Buffy for a dose of emotional ambivalence. But the Slayer's not referring to Iraqshe's talking about the coming apocalypse in Sunnydale. Now that Sarah Michelle Gellar has announced her intention to leave the series in May, the storyline could be a reference to the death of the show itself.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was steeped in moral ambiguity from the start. All of its central characters have tasted the dark side: Geeky Willow became addicted to black magic last season and flayed someone alive; Anya's a former demon who still likes to "get her vengeance on" now and then; Angel and Spike are reformed vampires. And then there's Buffy herself, an adolescent killing-machine who flirts with evil (literally) even as she saves the world on a daily basis.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on UPN
Now in its seventh season, Buffy has lost much of its original jouissance as the characters' youthful innocence hardens into professionalism (nightly demon-decapitation will do that to you). The Scooby gang now seems rudderless and despondent; Buffy's mom is dead, her watcher Giles has largely drifted from the fold, and an amorphous force called the First Evil is approaching. Although the clever jokes and whiplash dialogue still flow at a rate most shows would die for, a pall has descended, much like the one that hangs over our own hellmouth, New York City.
Maybe it seems ludicrous to make connections between the Buffyverse and our own, since her cartoony enemies have little in common with America's adversaries. But I'm not the first to draw parallels. In an essay from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (csis.org/burke/hd/reports/Buffy012902.pdf) on "Biological Warfare and the 'Buffy paradigm' " dated just a few weeks after 9-11, Anthony H. Cordesman uses this series about a girl "who lives in a world of unpredictable threats" as the basis for a new way of thinking about terrorism: "We can conduct studies or exercises, and we can write doctrine until hell freezes over, but . . . the uncertainties in Buffy may be more realistic than efforts to create predictable methods of attack."
As the series heads toward its endgame, Buffy constantly tests the limits of her power, wondering whether she can ward off the coming apocalypse without compromising her good intentions or losing too many fellow warriors. Goofy and fantastical as it is, Buffy feels more attuned to the dread and precariousness of the current moment than almost any other show on television.

CRUDE: Sept WTI $108.58/bbl, up 69 cents/bbl; Sept BRENT $109.99/bbl, up 45 cents/bbl

Everything in the music industry has changed except the song itself. Is it time for that too?
In early 1990, the editors of GW selected the 50 best guitar albums of the '80s. Dive in!
What was once the domain of blues-rock benders is a staple for rockers everywhere.
This time around we're going to focus on recording technique and some production tips to address some things that some folks often overlook when trying to achieve the sounds of their favorite records. These are techniques that I have used on many records, including the last two Bret Michaels albums, as well as the theme songs to Rock of Love, Life as I Know It and Speed Channel's Supercross.
One thing I mentioned but I don't think I stressed enough is that while you can use AmpliTube and other apps as real-time plug-ins, I personally don't recommend it. On one hand, you get the amazing ability to change everything from amp model to mic placement long after you've captured the perfect take, right into the final stages of mixing. The options can be endless — and to me, that's a problem.
In his work as a solo artist, Bret Michaels' right-hand man is guitarist Pete Evick, a multitalented musician who, in addition to playing guitar in the Bret Michaels Band, has also served as a co-songwriter, producer, mixer and musical director for the group. On the rare occasion he finds himself with some free time, the guitarist also pursues his own projects, which include studio work for a variety of artists as well as recording and performing with his long running band, Evick.

The Best Concerts in New York This Weekend, 8/22/14
For more shows throughout the weekend, check out our New York Concert Calendar, which we update daily.

Friday, 8/22:
Arcade Fire
Barclays Center
Friday through Sunday, 7:30 p.m. daily, $35-$85
Arcade Fire is a band that has managed to preserve the concept of "indie rock," even while they are playing massive arenas like the Barclays Center, as they are tonight. This carefully-constructed image and ethos is reliant on their ever-evolving style and peculiar band dynamics. They've never given in to the draw of radio-ready beats or riffs, instead moving further away from accessibility, even as their fame grows. Last year's Reflektor was perhaps their weirdest and most critically acclaimed album yet. Another marker of their eccentricity is the opening act of their show--the iconic New York band Television. In a rockist's world, Television opening for Arcade Fire is a marvelous mishap that is almost an affront to Television's legacy. But then again, it's also an indication that Arcade Fire is mindful of the past and producing music that's valid enough to warrant pairings like this. The Unicorns are also on the bill, so all bets are completely off. -- By Caitlin White
Dead Gaze
South Street Seaport
6:00 p.m., free
Dead Gaze's Cole Furlow's is a one-man noise-pop wrecking crew, pinching off distorted gems that lodge in memory as easily as they defy categorization. In his hands, abrupt punk melodies churn and roil under geysers of feedback and effects, but his effortlessly direct, bitter voice slices through the din. It's as if the songs are skirmishes in an ongoing emotional war that Furlow is perpetually at grave risk of losing. -- By Raymond Cummings

Anelka had already been excused from the game against Everton on compassionate grounds after learning that Eric Manasse had died.
London: West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has said striker Nicolas Anelka has told him that he is considering retiring following the death of his agent.
The Frenchman had already been excused from his team's Premier League game against Everton on Saturday on compassionate grounds after learning that Eric Manasse had died.
British media reported the well-travelled forward had already cleared his locker at the club's training base.
"There was no big bust up, he didn't storm out," Clarke was quoted as saying by the BBC.
"Retirement? When you're not in a good place those thoughts can come into your mind.
"I'm not going to deny he mentioned (retirement). He hasn't trained this week (because of a knock). I was preparing the team for Everton without him."
The player's current agent, Doug Pingisi, however told French daily Le Parisien that Anelka "has not retired from football".
Anelka wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday, "I've just learned with deep sadness the death of mister Eric Manasse. I can't find the words to express my huge grief and I wanted to pay condolences to the Manasse family after this tragic death."
The 34-year-old Anelka joined West Brom, his sixth Premier League club, on a free transfer last month and featured in their opening game defeat at the hands of Southampton on Saturday.
He moved to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua from Chelsea in January 2012 but did not settle and went out on loan at Juventus.

The Core Cargo Sports Bag is a bit over-priced in my opinion. It also needs some hooks at the bottom to secure it...like the ones on the top of the bag would be great. It is very easy to install and secures the load I had in mind when I purchased it. I'm going to try some bungee cords at the bottom to see if that will help hold the bottom of bag in place.

In the playoffs this year... (not who you think will win, but who you are rooting for)
Twins over A's.... I love watching Johan and Liriano (even though he isn't playing), plus the "Special K" relationship with the Twins still is kinda cool, plus way back when they were almost contracted, and then turned it around completely made me like them more
Tigers over Yanks.... I love the Tigers young team, especially their pitchers (Verlander and Zumaya).... plus they have the all time hug king Sean Casey. Gotta cheer for him.
Mets over Dodgers... just don't care for the Dodgers much. I'm pulling for the Mets mainly because of the injuries to their SP. Plus the whole West Coast losing streak we had ruined our season basically.
Padres over Cards... I despise the Cardinals, and the 34 year old Pujols (lol). Don't get me started on Jim Edmonds. Also, Jake Peavy is one of my favorite pitchers in the league.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our cabin is ONE ROW ABOVE LAKE FRONT, about 40 yards from the water, with a short one minute walk down to a private beach and shared pier. The brand new hot-tub and deck have a stunning 180 degree view of the lake, unobstructed. We finished the remodeling of the interior in February 2011, and have added brand new appliances, beds, bedding and furniture. We are behind a private 6 foot fence, with an iron gate for privacy and safety, with a vacant lot behind and beside us.
The cabin is 100 yards from West Side Pizza and Tavern, 100 yards from the US Post Office, and 200 yards from the PDQ market, the only grocery store for 8 miles in either direction. You can park your car and never leave, for as many days as you want to hide out!
This location is as good as it gets on the West Shore. The two bedrooms comfortably sleep 6, and a brand new fold-out queen sized couch in the family room next to the fireplace makes the cabin sleep a total of 8 people.
Keywords: Lake view cabin, hot tub, 2011 remodel, new appliances, new furniture, granite countertops, VERY CLOSE to lake, private beach and shared pier, Tahoe West Shore Vacation Rental Cabin, Tahoma, Homewood, Ski Cabin, High Speed Internet Access
We are six-season homeowners in Tahoma, and we have our own private cabin on 9th Avenue, just up the hill from this cabin. We live in San Diego and come up as often as we can, as our 5 and 7 year old sons love to ski, sled and enjoy the lake in the summer.
We have a lot of pride in our affiliation with the West Shore, and we are the distributors of the 'West Shore Best Shore' hats, tee shirts and stickers you see around the area.
The Owner purchased this cabin in 2010
Tahoe is the best place in the world.
Where else can you: water ski, snow ski, hike, bike and camp, all from a short walk from your front yard?
Answer: NOWHERE!
And as for buying this particular cabin: THE VIEW and LOCATION, by the water, one row above lake front.
Our cabin is in a gated community, currently consisting of just our home, as the two other lots are unsold and undeveloped.
You can walk 100 yards or so and be in the lake, shopping for groceries, mailing a package or having a beer and/or pizza. And yet, its very quiet, very peaceful, and private on our lake-fronting deck. The property is on a hillside, so the lake front mansions below us are in fact, well below us, making the view truly magnificent.
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It has the most amazing view of the lake. Beautiful sunrise in the morning!. Spent most of our time on the deck. Enjoyed walking to Sugar Pine, PDQ market, pizza and the beach! Would definitely come back again!! Thanks for a great week!
I look my wife and kids here for a 9 day summer vacation in July. This place is great! It sits on a huge lot that is fenced about 45 yards from the Lake. The views are incredible. The cabin is really comfortable and has everything you need and it was perfect size for the four of us. The lot is so big it must be an acre in size so you get great privacy. There is a short 1 minute walk downhill to a private beach and pier. We spent most days swimming, paddle boarding, and the kids crawdad fished. Also spent tons of meals BBQing on the deck overlooking the lake and sitting in the jacuzzi after the long days of hiking and swimming. It was really cool to watch the early evening lighting storms over the lake from the deck. If we needed something is was a 3 min walk to the market and pizza place down the street. Tahoma is great- nice and peaceful. Make sure to check out Sugar Pine State Park which is just 1/2 mile up the road for miles of beachfront hiking and secluded beach stretch. Looking forward to coming back!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was cozy, and the perfect size. Not to mention the amazing view of the lake from the back porch. Everything worked perfectly (heaters, wifi, TV, etc.), and Ross was awesome - super pleasant to deal with. Had to call him with a really simple question, and he graciously assisted. Also the hot tub was incredible. Can't recommend this place enough.
Beautiful location and cabin. Cabin has more than enough amenities and VERY CLEAN. Owners very easy to work with. Definitely going back.
My wife and I stayed at the cabin for 3 nights for our 3rd Anniversary. We loved the cabin, it has a great view and is conveniently located near a pizza restaurant and coffee shop that is less than a minute to walk to. We enjoyed going to the pier and sitting at the lake. It was great to have all the kitchen utensils and pans to be able to make a few meals easily. We would definitely come back to stay here again.
+ : close to the lake and to the Grocery; all you need in kitchen, laundry, towels, etc.; ratio cost/quality very interesting; very good quality of the Wi-Fi; private beach very close and clean (one remark : we have search it a the beginning, a little map could be interesting..)
- : some lights were broken (terrace in dark, living-room); hard to maintain the hot-tube temperature (decreasing slowly every day)
A very good and charming experience during our holidays in USA
Tahoma is quiet, it's almost a secret get-away from the city, and from the busyness and crowds of the North Shore and South Shore. Yet it offers everything that Lake Tahoe has to offer.
Our cabin is in a perfect location with a full view of the lake, just one row above lakefront. The deck is peaceful and quiet and secluded. We are less than 100 yards from West Side Pizza and the U.S. Post Office, and about 150 yards to the PDQ market where you can buy groceries, wine, newspapers, fresh baked goods or rent videos for a quiet evening at home overlooking the lake.
Hiking, swimming, boating, Emerald Bay, skiing, it's all just a couple of miles away.
Other Activities: Shopping, Kayaking, Boating, Cross Country Skiing, Downhill/Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowmobiling, Wildlife Viewing, Rock Climbing, Miniature golf

Sea Flower
Great gardens
What we say:
Offering a mixed bag of accommodation options, Sea Flower's bungalows vary widely in price and quality. For shoestring travellers, a number of very basic, very shabby thatch huts are available not far from the beach amidst a pleasing garden setting. With squat toilets, drafty floorboards and huge gaps between the walls and the roof, these dank old things should probably be knocked down to make room for more of the newer beautifully-designed Thai-style bungalows. These spacious and cozy bungalows are spotlessly clean and very tastefully and comfortably furnished and have large private salas -- making them a far better choice. However, the old hovels remain popular with backpackers -- Sea Flower's primary clientele -- and the relaxed and friendly restaurant and beach bar are popular hangouts.

Christmas in Korea
... so we called it a night. We went to bed excited to wake up to our Korean Christmas morning.
In the morning, we made some FaceTime calls to our families as they celebrated back home and made breakfast. This year's Christmas breakfast was bacon, hash browns and toast. It wasn't until after noon that we finally got around to opening our gifts to each other. It is very fun to shop in Korea, but when it comes to the things we want it is either ...
Bungee Weekend
... 30k each) we enjoyed cable, a hot shower and a soft bed for the night.
I've included some pictures from our trip, and the video of our ride on the big swing. Now I know, if there's no footage of the bungee jump, it didn't happen. But as I was supposed to be the one too scared to jump (and thus the one filming) and clearly that didn't happen, no pictures were taken. BUT, 3 out of the 4 of us did receive awesome card certifying that we did indeed complete the jump. So, enjoy!
End of KSSP, and I got a booboo
... get to my hair yet, I noticed the was wasn't draining well. Well I see a huge clump to hair over the drain so I start moving it off with my foot. I do a final hard swipe and ouch, something pricked me. Except it didn't hurt too much, I thought I got poked (location was my left foot big toe in the webbing slicing into the toe from that direction). Well surely it won't bleed... I move my foot and see red... Well that's okay it won't be bleeding too much... I move it ...
DMZ now I feel Zzz
So lets start with last night at the condo. We stayed in a military run condo. We had a great room with ocean (sea of Japan) view. We ended up switching because our AC wasn't working but lucked out because we still had ocean view in the next room. Since we weren't allowed to wonder because there's the chance of wondering too far there wasn't too much to do other than hit the beach. Swam a bunch, collected some shells. Went for a small walk until ...
Day one of the program
Yes I know, lame title! Well today I woke up at 6 again, wide awake! Bah! Mmm we all met in the lobby and had breakfast. Nom nom. On the way to our session I got to meet someone who just flew in and we bonded. Everyone was nervous about the school presentation. So the school introductions were done alphabetically, sooooo guess who went last? Mmhmm, this girl. Halfway through the presentations my professor comes up to me and tells me I should do the presentation ...

Sarah Walker had a dream that she'd been beaten in the London Olympics BMX final by Mariana Pajon.
On Friday it came true, even down to the silver medal hanging around her neck as a dubstep mix of the Chariots of Fire theme blasted out during the medal ceremony.
Walker got a great start in the final and made it to the all-important first corner second behind Pajon.
Try as she might in the rest of the race she couldn't catch the Colombian, who won her country's second-ever Olympic gold.
"Last night I had this dream that Mariana won and I was second and I was like `damn it, she keeps beating me, I can't get this image out of my head', and it was really frustrating," she said.
"But to finish with a silver medal I felt like I won it. I rode really well and Mariana just rode better today."
Walker, fourth in Beijing, did extremely well to even make it to the Olympics given a dislocated shoulder she suffered in April.
"I thought it might be over at that point and any crash between three months ago and today could have put me out," she said.
"But if I didn't push myself and push that limit and challenge myself I wouldn't be on the podium today. Every day was scary in training for the last three months."
Walker has been one to doubt herself in the past and it came through in her first couple of semi-final races, which put her in danger of missing the final.
But she was third in the last semi-final race, earning her spot, and by the time she reached the final she was prepared to do whatever it took to win a medal.
"I was ready to go down in a pile on that first corner if that's what it needed but I didn't want to get to the finish line having backed off to avoid a crash that might happen.
"I was ready to crash, ready to put my body on the line, and that's what it took."
Walker said the medal would mean plenty to her home town of Kawerau and to New Zealand BMX racing, and hoped it would give a boost to the BMX World Championships in Auckland in July next year.
Walker's training partner, Laura Smulders of the Netherlands, took a surprise bronze.

That's why her decision of not playing a grass tournament right after RG it doesn't surprise me at all.
Well she has to get over that attitude then. Because her game is ideal for grass. She just needs to play on it more to get a better feel of what works on it and how she can use that slice of hers to her best advantage on this surface.

By using a network extender bought from Verizon, I have been able to increase my reception to 1-2 bars of coverage on rare occasions instead of 0-1 bar. Calls always dropped, text messages missed. Hanover for the most part has terrible coverage and Verizon is the best of a bad lot.Was this review helpful to you?
My 2 Motorola droids never drop a call. 4g LTE is weak but usable. Switching to 3g is necessary in poor weather. On a few rare occasions, internet service has failed, but overall, I can talk, text, email and browse all over Grantham.Was this review helpful to you?
AT&T touts itself as having 99% US coverage. First I had cell coverage (April 2011); then in April 2012 none for several months; than coverage resumed until September 2014. Any coverage has always been spotty i.e. had to move around house, sometimes even go outside. Now again (10 / 2014) have none. I am able to get cell coverage with my phone almost everywhere else in continental US. Am aware that my little corner of the AT&T world is not actually on the AT&T cell coverage map. If not: 1) why did I have it, albeit imperfectly, for almost 4 years ? 2) why is there no coverage in this very limited and non-contiguous area in Vermont ? This is criminal.Was this review helpful to you?
I feel like a don't have a phone at all. We usually get between No Service and 2 bars of signal. It is horrible. The worst part is that we are in monthly plan and have to pay a huge amount of money to cancel our plans even though the issues we are having are not under our control. My husband has complained already and they did not solve our problem. We are wasting a lot of money.Was this review helpful to you?

I have lived in THREE houses in Lebanon and West Lebanon. If I was on Fire friends, AT&T can't give me anything but "no reception." I have to either go to a friend who has WiFi in their home... or use the $12.88 TracFone that never has fewer than 4 bars and makes / receives calls perfectly 24 / 7 / 365. AT&T is a joke, and making my $3,000 of iPhones and iPads look like worthless hunks of aluminum.Was this review helpful to you?
Very poor phone and broadband reception. Calls and data connection randomly drop (or can't get any reception at all) inside and outside. Time of day doesn't matter. Best reception (average 3 bars and 3G.) at second floor window facing east with clear view of Hanover NH.Was this review helpful to you?
This is NOT a tiny town - maybe area population of 100,000 people. AT&T reception is either 1 bar... or NONE! If my house was on fire, or my husband had a heart attack, we couldn't even reach 911. Terrible! AT&T should really be ashamed! Put up a Tower of your own, AT&T!Was this review helpful to you?

I've had reliable Verizon service here for 10 years. The nearest tower is atop Ragged Mountain, Danbury.Was this review helpful to you?

Must go to the top of the hill past the Canaan Center store where it becomes Canaan St. to get any reception at all. Daughter comes to visit from MA. and must walk up to top of hill to use phone. I don't own a cellphone, as we have no reception here.Was this review helpful to you?
No signal. Not even roaming! Sometimes by the store you can catch something quickly. If you to toward the elementary school, signal seems to exist, but if you go down the hill toward the funeral home, there's not much hope for any cell signal at all.Was this review helpful to you?

Outside reception only; indoors hit or miss. Can't seem to find tower locations via Internet for future booster yagi-style antenna installation.Was this review helpful to you?
Switched from Verizon to AT&T and am very pleased. Verizon can't / won't improve coverage in Vt. due to FCC regulations. AT&T has been improving their infrastructure since 2008. I had 0-1 bar with Verizon at home and couldn't use phone at all, 3-4 steady bars on wifes iphone, my HTC is usually 1 bar less. Good coverage in Hartland, Windsor, Woodstock, Quechee and upper valley. Excellent coverage in Brownsville with 3g. Interstate 91 has a few more dead spots than Verizon but overall verygood. Both carriers aren't perfect but it's more due too topography of Vt. AT&T is the best in my area since I'm now able to use my phone at home.Was this review helpful to you?
Only one bar from the house (if correctly stationed within), but other providers' mobile phones get NONE! The area beyond the Crooked Half-Mile is virtually a dead zone. If within the Comcast cable range, would-be users are advised to purchase a smartphone capable of linking to broadband for home use.Was this review helpful to you?
In the July 2007 I had great roaming reception at this location. Beginning in December 2009 and again in July 2010 there was no reception (roaming or otherwise) at this location.Was this review helpful to you?

Consumers Energy no longer releasing customers
By Rick Pluta, Michigan Public Radio Network
LANSING, MI – One of the state's largest electric utilities is no longer releasing customers to buy power from its competitors. State law allows the major utilities to hang onto their remaining customers once 10 percent have moved to an alternative supplier.
Jackson-based Consumers Energy notified its customers and state regulators last week that it's reached its cap. It won't be releasing any more customers, which are typically large commercial operations and school districts. Judy Palnau is with the Michigan Public Service Commission:
"Consumers Energy did notify the Michigan Public Service Commission that they had released the 10% cap for the electric customer choice program, so they're still taking enrollments for people who are interested, but they can't be activated until space is available," she says. "But for now we're at the 10% cap that the law put in place."
Palnau says no other utilities have notified the state that they are at or near the cap.
The utilities say the 10% cap is necessary to ensure financing for the big power plants they need to build to meet Michigan's future energy needs. But critics of the law say it's responsible for Michigan's electric rates being higher than surrounding states.

Comfy little buggers, hard to go wrong for the price. After a few hours they make my ears kinda hurt, but they have great sound quality and really help to block out distractions if you're really trying to concentrate.
I love these headphones, I use them all of the time. They have good sound for such a cheap price. Skullcandy also offers an awesome lifetime warranty, so if they break I can just get new ones.
I generally really like skullcandys, but in these ones, the ear bud with the mic produced basically no sound, straight out of the box. Instant return. I'd still recommend the brand, but probably not ones with a mic.
I dig em

Events boost local economy
In terms of economic impact, the Paul Battle Arena and Expo Center is proving itself to be the facility that can accomplish big things.
Arena officials recently issued a report putting numbers on paper as far as what the shows they host bring to Tunica County. From Oct. 2009 to Sept. 2010, events at the arena made an economic impact of $25 million.
Arena events coordinator Rebecca Fyfe said the final figure was derived after using a formula from the American Quarter Horse Association.
