Third new Demon Hunter song
I was wondering when they were gonna release a slow song.
My favorite of the three released so far. Love the low cleans in the chorus. Still hoping for some more boss tracks on the album though.
Digging: August Burns Red - Found in Far Away Places
Kill's favorite band
Digging: Emery - You Were Never Alone
Kill: My favorite of the three released so far. Love the low cleans in the chorus. Still hoping for some more boss tracks on the album though.
this band makes some of the most garbage music
I like some of the bands stuff.
"you say nicki minaj, i scream DEMON HUNTER!"
The koolest thing I've heard all day
Digging: Alice in Chains - Sap
This is pretty cool
I like their skulls.
Last album was very good stuff, hope this will continue. They were one of my favorite teen bands.
While I don't think they are a bad band, I feel they just need to refine their sound and make something memorable and lasting. Hopefully they achieve that on this record
Fuck this album is gonna rule, all three singles so far have been badass
Digging: Olafur Arnalds - ...And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness
"I feel they just need to refine their sound and make something memorable and lasting."
The have been doing that, their last album, True Defiance was a HUGE step forward for them in terms of
achieving a sound. Every song sounded like it belonged on that album, something that can't be said for
the rest of their discography. They also have a much more mature sound now, as evidenced by their last
album and these past 3 singles. But, nonetheless Demon Hunter will be a hit or miss band.
They need to go full death metal. They have sounded like a heavier creed for way too long.
If they go full death metal then they'll just sound exactly like Soilwork, and I'm not going to lie, Artificial Light did have Soilwork influence in it.
^seriously though on the Soilwork comparison. But DH is just better imo.
Did you listen to Soilwork's new album? That was a fantastic album.
Good song. Has a cool vibe to it
I am really looking forward to this release. I've always liked these guys.
I am kinda looking forward to this release, though I've never liked these guys.

Customer Reviews
Well integrated lifestyle app! Favorite
I love using Argus! It's got a simple display that is easy to use and understand while being colorful and engaging. I love that it integrates with multiple apps. The running tracker on this is on par or better than a lot of other popular running apps.
One minor suggestion to fix is that for the run time, when you scroll through the run, the run stats box (including time, pace, elevation, distance, cadence) also covers up the actual time. Not a big deal since it's easy enough to figure out, but since that time is updated, it's frustrating not being able to see it.
The next feature I would appreciate their enabling/integrating would be a period tracker for all the ladies (like me) or better meal recording. But I seriously love using Argus
Great walking/running app
I found argus because I wanted a pedometer that would work automatically and it does that pretty well. Occasionally it thinks I'm walking or running when I'm actually in the car, but more so when I've been on subways. It also doesn't understand time zones which can mess up your daily count when traveling.
Overall I like the app and it does motivate me to walk more so I can increase my steps count and reach my daily goal. I also like that it tracks the path you ran via gps and I wish there was a way to turn it on for walking too to track hikes. There is a way to add other activities too so you can keep a record of them and it will estimate the calories you burned.
My "go-to" exercise application
My recovery from triple coronary artery bypass graft necessitated undertaking an exercise regimen that I could measure and stick with to prevent future such painful and debilitating procedures. Argo has helped me measure and evaluate my time at the gym as well as on my bicycle, moving air, working major muscle groups and burning calories.
Two years of continuous work and record keeping with the aid of a Polar Bluetooth chest strap have given me ongoing incentive to keep working out and proof that I still can.
When the AppleWatch hits my wrist next month, we'll see how Argo compliments HelathKit. Until then, this is the best of class.

I re-saw the first couple of episodes yesterday on TV Land. In it, Oliver promises Lisa that he'll fix up the place and it'll be nice.
Well, this show ran for a while and he never fixed it up. I realize that the writers intended it to be that way to move the show along, but wouldn't the premise also have worked if they had at least fixed the house up?

Summary: For the Cherokee, health is more than the absence of disease; it includes a fully confident sense of a smooth life, peaceful existence, unhurried pace, and easy flow of time. The natural state of the world is to be neutral, balanced, with a similarly gently flowing pattern. States of imbalance, tension, or agitation are indicative of physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual illness and whether caused intentionally through omission or commission, or by outside actions or influences, the result affects and endangers the collective Cherokee. Taking a true anthropological four-field approach, Lefler and her colleagues provide a balanced portrait of Cherokee health issues. Topics covered include: an understanding of the personal and spiritual impact of skeletal research among the Cherokee; the adverse reactions to be expected in well-meaning attempts to practice bioarchaeology; health, diet, and the relationship between diet and disease; linguistic analysis of Cherokee language in historical and contemporary contexts describing the relationship of the people to the cosmos; culturally appropriate holistic approaches to disease prevention and intervention methodologies; and the importance of the sacred feminine and the use of myth and symbolism within this matrilineal culture. All aspects-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual-figure into the Cherokee concept of good health. By providing insight into the Cherokee perspective on health, wellness, and the end of the life cycle, and by incorporating appropriate protocol and language, this work reveals the necessity of a diversity of approaches in working with all Indigenous populations.

Manila, Philippines - An inaccurate map that mislocated a marine sanctuary may have caused a U.S. Navy minesweeper to run aground on a coral reef in the Philippines last week, the Navy said Saturday
All 79 officers and crew of the USS Guardian were taken off the ship for safety reasons after it struck the reef with its bow at 2 a.m. Thursday. The Navy's Pacific Fleet, based in Hawaii, said Saturday that its ships along with several support vessels continued to conduct salvage operations that minimize environmental effects to the reef.
The Navy said in a statement that a review of Digital Nautical Charts, which are used for safe navigation by all U.S. Navy ships, found they contained inaccurate data and may have been a factor in the Guardian's grounding. As a result, Navigator of the Navy Rear Adm. Jonathan White released precautionary guidance to all Pacific Fleet ships, saying that "initial review of navigation data indicates an error in the location of Tubbataha Reef" in the Philippines.
"While the erroneous navigation chart data is important information, no one should jump to conclusions," said Pacific Fleet spokesman Capt. Darryn James. "It is critical that the U.S. Navy conduct a comprehensive investigation that assesses all the facts surrounding the Guardian grounding."
The Avenger-class ship had just completed a port call in Subic Bay, a former American naval base west of the capital, Manila, and was en route to Indonesia and then on to East Timor to participate in a training exercise when it hit the reef, about 80 miles southeast of Palawan Island.
The World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines said that according to an initial visual inspection, the 224-foot-long, 1,300-ton Guardian damaged at least 10 yards of the reef, which UNESCO designated as a World Heritage Site. It is part of Southeast Asia's Coral Triangle, a huge stretch of ocean that contains most of the world's coral species, reefs, and more than 3,000 species of fish.
Angelique Songco, head of the government's Protected Area Management Board, said the government imposes a fine of about $300 per square yard of damaged coral, plus other fees.
In 2005, the environmental group Greenpeace was fined almost $7,000 after its flagship struck a reef in the same area.
Songco blamed the Guardian for turning away park rangers who wanted to board the minesweeper, but the Navy said it was cooperating with the Philippine government, a key U.S. defense ally.
Presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte said the government will observe the law governing the Tubbataha Reef, but right now "the primary concern is extricating the ship out of the reef with minimal damage."

Product description
Kensuke's Kingdom is a true children's classic by Michael Morpurgo, the creator of War Horse. I heard the wind above me in the sails. I remember thinking, this is silly, you haven't got your safety harness on, you haven't got your lifejacket on. You shouldn't be doing this ...I was in the cold of the sea before I could even open my mouth to scream. Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up to die. When he wakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone ...From the author of War Horse (now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg) comes a stunning children's story - loved by kids, teachers and parents alike. Michael Morpurgo has written more than forty books and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. Reviewed as 'A dazzling adventure' by The Times.

Author information
Michael Morpurgo Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. Several of his other stories have been adapted for screen and stage, including My Friend Walter, Why the Whales Came and Kensuke's Kingdom. Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the "poverty of experience" many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities. Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.

In the wide-ranging interview, Le Drian also said that France believes in the need for a political solution in Syria, and has noticed "fragility" in the coalition of opponents to President Bashar Assad's regime. He also said France "doesn't have proof" that either side in that conflict may have used chemical weapons: "We only have clues for the moment (about possible use) ... but no verification."
Le Drian is expected to join French President Francois Hollande in Brussels on Wednesday at a donor's conference for Mali, before travelling to London and then Washington — where he will meet with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken, and Congressional leaders.
The minister will also speak before two think tanks to detail France's freshly minted "white book" on defense and security, which lays out the threats that France faces in the future and ways of combatting them, at a time when many deficit-riddled European countries like France have been looking for ways to trim state spending.

Reyes finds inspiration from late father
Kendall Reyes' father died this year from the N1H1 virus. Kendall's outlet is football.
Every time he's winded, every moment he's hunched over, every instance he's gasping for air as though there's an oxygen drought, Kendall Reyes thinks of his father. The second he feels like his body has experienced enough pain that a letdown -- however remote -- may be justified, the Chargers defensive end pictures his dad pushing his body and instantly does the same.
Reyes' father, Gerard, was a marathoner who routinely conquered 26.2 courses by foot. Cruel twist of fate, then, that his lifespan ran so short.
"It's still tough -- every day that I can't talk to him. You don't expect a fully healthy person to just pass away," Reyes said. "I miss him dearly. This year is for him."
This season will mark Reyes' second as an NFL starter, but will carry substantially more weight than his first. This is the season where any big hit, any key sack, any batted ball or fumble recovery could prompt a glance to the sky.
Gerard Reyes was living in Florida last winter when he began to feel sick. Not one to broadcast his discomfort, though, Gerard kept mum on his condition -- in part because he didn't know what the problem was.
Besides, Kendall was in the midst of a playoff run with the Chargers, who barreled through the Bengals in the wild card game before testing the eventual AFC-champion Broncos seven days later. But Gerard's condition worsened.Turns out it was a strain of the H1N1 virus -- more commonly known as swine flu.
He died on February 1.
For Kendall, who would talk football or whatever else with his old man at least twice a week, the news was devastating. Gerard was someone who once ran a half marathon one day and a marathon the next, but talk to Kendall, and the toll he put on his body paled in comparison to the sacrifices he made for his family.
Reyes said that, while time has helped temper his pain, there are still constant reminders of his father's passing. Luckily for the 24-year-old, he has an outlet on the football field.
This may be Reyes' second year as a starter, but it's his third in the NFL. And when young talent has chalked up two seasons of experience at the highest level of sport, a breakthrough often ensues.
His numbers up to this point? Promising but not prolific. Last year, he tallied 28 tackles and five sacks, the latter of which was second on the team. His rookie season, he posted 17 tackles and five and a half sacks -- the latter of which was third on the team. He also led the defensive line in pressures and quarterback hits in 2012, while finishing second in those categories in 2013.
It may not have been the jump in production that the Chargers were hoping to see -- especially given Reyes' increased playing time. But amble around the Bolts' locker room at their practice facility, and you'll come across teammates expecting big things from the former second-round pick.

Re: James R Partlow
Thanks for getting back with me so soon! I haven't had access to census records until just the other day, so I didn't recall the 1880 and 1870 censuses. (I only renew ancestry a month at a time and in spurts as time and money allow...) I think the Allan thing just threw me through a loop. I did just find his and Malissa's marriage record too that confirms George and Martha as his parents. Here's the link if you're interested: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VXPP-MJX. Thanks again for your help. Also: the death record you shared has all the same info as the actual death certificate pretty much except cause of death, which is listed as "causes unknown to the jurors." I find that a little intriguing....

James Riley Partlow
I had a question about the brief bio you have on James Riley Partlow (Memorial #68367373), who is my 2nd great grandfather. You have George and Martha Partlow listed as his parents. I recently obtained a copy of his death certificate and it lists his father as Allan Partlow of Indiana. I know in regards to parents, death certificates are not necessarily the most reliable or accurate, and I was just curious if you knew anything about this Allan and/or had documents verifying George and Martha as his parents.
(Also his death certificate lists that his wife was Bessie Partlow. I saw a comment down a little bit that mentioned her as his wife and this seems to confirm that.)

Thank you so much. I revisited the memorial, cleaned up the bio, and put the GPS in the appropriate box. Now when you click on the GPS, and wait for Google Earth to load, you can switch to photo mode, zoom in and see tiny tombstones. You can even "move" around in the cemetery so you can see where the stones are compared to the rest of the cemetery. Because of rounding, the GPS recorded should be close, but often not exactly on top of the stones (I didn't stand on the graves to take the reading, either!) Again, I appreciate your edits, not only for themselves, but so that I could revisit the memorials of her and her husband.

Where are you getting the information to make your edits? This appears to be Juanita McGouirk Smith, born in Louisiana. Even the SSDI has her last name as Smith. You are trying to turn her into Juanita Martha 'Patsy' Smith Carter.

Henry Haddox 1847 - 1916
We have a family connection.
I found your name here on FIND A GRAVE. My father William Haddox father was Charles Alvin Haddox and his father was Henry Haddox. I was wondering if you had a photo or other information that I do not have on Henry, who would have been my great grandfather. The information I do have on Henry came from the Ancestry.com web site. I see that I may have the wrong parents for Henry.I have been off line to Ancestry.com for over three years and that is where I found the parents I now have. I need to go back to Ancestry and fix that.You can reach me at my-mail address: email@example.com Hoping to hear from you. Marilyn

James Riley 2nd marriage
It appears to me that James Riley married a second time late in life. I have this listing for marriages in Newton Co. IN: EIGHNOR, BESSIE PARTLOW, JAMES 1929 MAR 26
Bessie's maiden name was Swartz. She was living with J R Partlow in Stockton in the 1930 census with two of her sons by her previous marriage.
She has only the sons from the previous marriage with her in 1940 -- her surname seems to be Bartlo
on the census image and has also been transcribed Bartho. So it appears there was no issue -- at least none surviving 10 years.
She is buried in Ohio # 119385574 as Bessie E Partlow.

Mirabell Garden
One of the set locations of the classic movie, The Sound of Music, Mirabell Garden is now known as the meeting point of tourists who would take the movie road trip.
Typical of European gardens, its lawn is well manicured and showcases a variety of flowers and plants. An ideal place to relax and unwind within the city.

Mirabell Palace and Gardens
Although it was zero degrees celsuis, we braved the cold to wander through the glorious Mirabell Palace Gardens (with frozen water fountains and all!!). What a beautiful relaxing place it was. There is also an art gallery you can visit inside, but the queue was quite large (Salzburg was fully booked at the time of our visit), so we decided to go driving around the town instead. It's worth it to be in the grounds for every 1/2 hour, where the bells ring so beautifully!

- Castles and Palaces
Mirabell Gardens - Dwarf Garden
The Zwergerlgarden or Dwarf Garden is the most unique and bizarre feature of Mirabell, with four foot high statues of dwarves who lived in the palace during the time of Archbishop - Prince Franz Anton Graf Harrach and created by an unknown sculptor approximately 1715. There may have been as many as 28, apparently modelled on real life subjects. Depending on the source, as few as nine originals remain. The modern day park site dates from the 1920's.
Dwarves were a part of most Baroque courts in the 17th and 18th C, kept for entertainment but also valued for their loyalty to their masters. Image 5 shows the relationship of the dwarf garden to the pegasus statue and the palace. There is no signage and this discrete segment of the gardens is easy to miss.
The Mirabell Gardens are beautiful, no wonder they are famous gardens! They were opened to the public by Emperor Franz Joseph in 1854 and are known as a horticultural masterpiece.
A lovely fountain, is the Pegasus Fountain, which has four groups of statues surrounding it. These symbolize the 4 elements which are fire, air, earth and water. There are many lovely statues dotted around the garden, and I loved the Urns with the angry faces that were sitting on the fence line of the Palace! The annual flowers are in swirls and different designs, they look beautiful when viewed from the top terrace of the gardens.
Altogether, a lovely garden, NOT TO BE MISSED

Mirabell Gardens - The Iconic Views
Mirabell Gardens is one of the most visited sites in Salzburg, both on its own merits and its role in the Sound of Music movie. A garden has existed since the early 17th C backing the Altenau Palace, originally just a kitchen garden but oriented from the first with the long axis putting the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzburg cathedral in the background and creating one of the most famous images of Salzburg (images 1,2). As tastes changed, the garden was renovated several times. What we see today dates from 1730, by Baroque landscape architect Franz Anton Danreiter.
The most used entrance is from Makartplatz near the pedestrian bridge. Two large semicircular balustrades are centered on the famous fencers created by master sculptor Andreas Gotzinger dating from the late 1600's (image 3). The balustrades feature 16 statues of Roman gods from the same time period ( pictures lost when camera 2 was stolen in Vienna ), very impressive. Note how the fortress is framed by the fencers - in real life the entire entranceway encloses the fortress and cathedral in the background.
Mirabell Gardens - The Sound of Music
A featured segment of the famous movie was filmed at the Mirabell Gardens. Walk in their footsteps by entering the gardens through the unobtrusive gateway ( image 1 )from Rainierstrasse and enter a subdivision of the gardens with a central fountain with a statue called the Papagena (images 2,3 ) modelled after a similar work in the old city. This is a delightful little park, a nice and peaceful place for a brief rest amidst the chaos of the bus tours in other areas.
Entering the gardens proper, turn right and walk behind the palace to the Pegasus statue ( Image 4 ). Made of copper, it was originally created in 1661 for a well near the cathedral. It would later grace the watering trough in front of the Mirabell and reach its final place in the Small Parterre behind the palace in 1913. Behind the Pegasus are the stairs leading to the Rose Garden ( image 5 ), used in the movie for the song Do-Re-Mi with the characters bouncing up and down the stairs. Pegasus statues flank the base of the stairs. Above the steps is a rose garden, with on our visit very few roses. Today these steps are stated to become in the evening a major cruising point for the homosexual population of Salzburg.
Mirabell Palace
First built in 1606 by Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau under the name of Altenau. After his death in 1612, the palace was renamed Mirabell by his successor Markus Sittikus von Hohenems (1612 - 1619). Prince Archbishop Paris Lodron (1619 - 1653) included the palace and gardens in his extended ring of fortifications.
Famous personalities have stayed at Mirabell Palace: three years before the great fire on July 1, 1815, just after Salzburg was transferred to Bavaria, Prince Otto of Bavaria, later to become the King of Greece, was born in Mirabell Palace.
Today the Palace accommodates the office of Salzburg's Bürgermeister (mayor) and the municipal administration.

Really beautiful flowers at Mirabell
The Garden Mirabell is a wonderfull relaxing park, especially if you walked eight hours on the previous day :) Its flowers, statues, fountain, palace, combined with a nice weather makes you feel really good.
The picture on the left is a macro of a nice little red flower I hope you will appreciate.
Mirabel and garden
The palace is from 1506 and was called Mitwald, later Miribelle. It was built for the ruling king's mistress, and they had 15 children; all dead by 1612.
This has a very well manicured garden. Even though it is small in comparison to some others in Europe, it is always well taken care of. The serenity is what one looks for plus the beauty. Concerts have been held here for many years. They were designed in 1690, under the guidance of Prince Graf von Thun. Later they were redesigned again. It was designed in baroque style, having the statues and fountains as its theme, with the entrance having 2 lion statues.

Mirabell Gardens
Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf von Thun (1687 - 1709) had the famous Mirabell Gardens remodelled in 1690 according to plans by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. They were redesigned around 1730 by Franz Anton Danreiter.

A great view of Fortress and City
The Mirabell Palace itself is nothing special (maybe except the Wedding Hall) but it has a great French style garden from which and over which you can enjoy some of the nicest views of the fortress and the ensemble below it - according to my opinion both look best from here, much nicer to see them from the distance than to visit them, especially the cathedral.
A remarkable garden is also the "Zwergerlgarten" (Dwarfs Garden), only a few steps from the great views. It is an early form of the later sweetened garden dwarfs so typical for German gardens (but they seem today to be mostly produced in South East Asia and sold by Vietnamese in Poland along the streets leading to the German border...)
Schloss Mirabell and Gardens
One of the first sights I saw in Salzburg was the Schloss Mirabell and its adjoining gardens. I spent most of my time in the gardens checking out the views toward the Old Town and up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress, which presides over the city on the opposite side of the river. The palace was originally built by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich, but today it houses some local government offices. On the day that I visited, it was also playing host to a wedding. Inside the palace, be sure to check out its beautiful Baroque staircase.
Fountain of Mirabell Garden
The beautiful Mirabell Garden is yet another perfect place - beside downtown and the Hochensalzburg - to make some photo memories of your Salzburg visit.
This is the central fountainn, surrounded by the four statuary elements presented below.

Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf von Thun (1687 - 1709) had the famous Mirabell Gardens remodelled in 1690 according to plans by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. They were redesigned around 1730 by Franz Anton Danreiter.
The Heckentheater (Hedge Theater) is located on the west side of the Gardens. Built between 1704 and 1718, it is one of the oldest hedge theaters north of the Alps.
In 1854 Emperor Franz Joseph opened the Mirabell Gardens to the public. It has remained a jewel of horticultural architecture to this day.

The Mirabell Gardens
The Mirabell Gardens are like an oasis in the centre of Salzburg, a place where you can sit and rest after a days sightseeing. I never noticed it at the time but the gardens were built on a north-south axis and are oriented towards the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzburger Dom Cathedral. The original gardens were attributed to J B Fisher von Erlach in 1689 but they were remodelled in 1730 by Franz Anton Danreiter and have remained virtually unchanged since then.

The Long Day Closes
A film by Terence Davies
Starring Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates and Anthony Watson
The Music Box Theatre will screen a new 35mm print of this Terence Davies film from 1992 in preparation of of his new film The Deep Blue Sea set to open in Chicago on March 23rd.
The Long Day Closes is the story of eleven-year-old "Bud." A sad and lonely boy, Bud struggles through his days. With cinema as his main source of solace, he haunts the local movie-house. All the while, his family looms large in our peripheral vision as do the menacing bullies of his school, but Bud is the center of attention both from the camera's angle and from his doting family. With a gray background, the film fuses clips and audio from classic movies into Bud's dreary childhood and brings it to life with an elegance Bach would bring to your home movies. The overall effect is a montage of memory which seems to ignite flashes of recognition in the viewer.
A deeply personal film, and at times a touching one, it is a collection of fragments and memories artfully pieced into a quirky, captivating book of dreams.
—New York Times
The sort of work that can renew one's faith in movies.

(03/17/2015) - Very clean, safe, quiet villas located in the Mexican neighborhoods of San Miguel. A true cultural experience! Fantastic food prepared by the locals. We caught fish and the restaurant down the street cooked them for us for only 70 pesos each! The Best! Great weather... 81 degrees the 3 weeks we were there!

Stay (06/01/2013) - Thank you so much for the excellent services you all provide! I gave you such short notice and wondered if I was going to have a place when I arrived. Called Miguel when I was on the ferry after a long drive from Belice and he said he was waiting. Miguel and Zuri are such beautiful people and take care of everything. Even though it rained all three (3) days I was here, I still enjoyed my stay. Last year was the same! Perfect!!! Thank you sooo much, PEACE!

Stay (12/29/2011) - Great stay here at Cozumel IslaMar! Sherri, we wish we could have met you! You were so much help through emails! Zuri & Miguel were helpful and the villas were always clean and tidy! Thank you! I think the villas are a good distance from town as we dont like too much tourist stuff. Having a nice walk home after a big meal was a relief! Anyways, we decided to get a scooter for 8 of the days and it was useful! Traveling to our favorite beaches on the east coast or to the southern ones like Playa Palancar was made easy! Great place to stay, we had a great time here. Thanks so much to everyone here!

Very true, Missy and Mary Beth are great in scenes together and I also buy them as good friends. I still think there are limits, as proven in this episode . . . but would also welcome for that to change.

RBI Governor meets Chidambaram, discusses economic situation
New Delhi: RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan Thursday met Finance Minister P Chidambaram and discussed the macroeconomic situation.
"We exchanged our views on the current macroeconomic situation," Rajan told reporters after the meeting, which was also attended by Department of Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram.
Rajan had surprised the markets by leaving all key policy rates unchanged at the mid-quarter policy review on December 18, notwithstanding persistent high inflationary pressure.
A key short-term lending rate was kept unchanged at 7.75 percent, while the cash reserve ratio remained at 4 percent.
Rajan was Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry before taking over as RBI Governor on September 4. He had increased the key rate by 0.50 per cent in two instalments.
