Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the world premiere of the all-new Mazda6 wagon at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
It will be exhibited alongside the new Mazda6 Sedan that is currently generating a real buzz at the Moscow Motor Show. Both models displayed at the Paris Motor Show will feature Mazda's new SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine.
Andrew Clearwater, Managing Director Mazda New Zealand says the previous generation Mazda6 wagon was a very strong performer in the New Zealand market and expectations are high for the new wagon.
"When the New Zealand motoring public sees the new Mazda6 wagon I believe they will be blown away by its class leading design that will make it stand out from the competition."
Sales of the 3rd Generation All-New Mazda6 will begin in New Zealand in early 2013.
The 2012 Paris Motor Show begins September 27 and runs through to October 14.
Depending on individual market requirements, engine options for the Mazda6 include a Standard Power or High Power SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel engine as well as SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5 direct injection petrol engines.
The new Mazda6 is the flagship model for a new generation of Mazda products. It incorporates the very best of Mazda's craftsmanship and technical expertise across all domains, from dynamic performance and design, through to environmental performance and safety. It is the second of Mazda's new generation of products which incorporate both the full range of SKYACTIV technologies and the new KODO – Soul of Motion design theme. It also features a range of advanced safety technologies and Mazda's unique brake energy regeneration system, i-ELOOP.

Merritt Island Christian 37, Master's Academy 0: Short-handed Patriots (0-5) can't keep up | Photo gallery
VERO BEACH — The numbers game eventually caught up with Master's Academy.
After playing a scoreless first quarter, Merritt Island Christian scored 28 points in the second quarter and went on to rout Master's 37-0 on Friday afternoon.
Master's (0-5) has 18 players on its roster, but were down to 13 players by game time due to illness and injury. The Patriots had some success early — they gained two first downs on their opening drive, including a fourth-down conversion. They attempted another fourth-down conversion, this time at the Merritt Island Christian 37-yard line, but the run fell short.
It was all Merritt Island Christian after that. The Cougars (1-3) scored on each of their next six possessions, including three touchdowns in a 3:50 span late in the second quarter.
With Merritt Island Christian leading 13-0, Master's Academy quarterback Jeff Stabe was sacked and fumbled at the Patriot's 23-yard line late in the second quarter. Kyle Hendricks recovered the fumble for Merritt Island Christian and the Cougars scored three plays later. The touchdown was scored by running back Caleb Hobbs, who scored twice for Merritt Island Christian.
Merritt Island Christian running back Max Power threw a 56-yard halfback pass to receiver Sam Ross in the third quarter, which set up the Cougars' final touchdown.
Master's Christian drove down to the Merritt Island 25-yard line midway through the fourth quarter. The drive, which ended in a turnover on downs, was the closest the Patriots would come to scoring.
"We had a great battle," Master's Academy coach Dan Smith said. "About a half-hour before kickoff, we lost four kids and that really hurt us. The guys played hard, tough and they don't quit. We just got to keep it together. We'll be back next week. We don't quit."
"Our guys, we've been meaning to come together and punch it and we did that today," Merritt Island Christian coach David Nevad said. "I'm proud of our D for keeping them out of the end zone. You've got to credit Master's, they have great fight and great kids."

No VM's in Hyper-V HA field discovered by BEXEC 2012
I have 3 HV's hosts (on separate physical servers) working with Windows Server 2012 as a Clauster. And at this moment (in future will be more) I have 2 VM's guests:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Backup Exec 2012 SP2 server installed
- Windows Server 2012 working as DC
On each HV's host I install Agent for Windows ( I have license for 3 AGENT FOR VMWARE AND HYPER-V). You can see my environment screen (1):
I want to backup and restore VM's in image level and whole HV hosts. But I have some problems in each hosts I don't see VM and .vhd files in Microsoft Hyper-V (2) (no SDR ON why ?):
On the cluster node the same problem:
I read of course some articles and I know that I need backup Hyper-V HA from this plece (3) not from C:\ClusterStorge\Volume1.
So my questions are:
1. What do I need configure to get acces to my VM's from Microsoft Hyper-V HA Virtual Machines in my backup configuration ?
2. Where can I find (I know admin guide) information about restore full HV host and guest in environment similar to me ?
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Problem solved, english language packs are required on each Hyper V nodes :

Doha Zoo
The entry fee for this well maintained zoo is around 5 QAR per adult. You can see lots of animals from elephants to snakes in clean surroundings. The highlight for me was the chance to feed the indian elephant.
Best to check entry times by phone and also whether it is "family day" or "Women and children only" as these can vary.
Doha Zoo
While I love to see different species of animals from all over the world, I believe that those animals deserve to roam free in their natural habitat, so I'm generally not a huge fan of zoos. They can serve a positive purpose if done well, though, and if they do things like captive breeding programs and conservation education. While the Doha Zoo is not the best zoo I've seen, it's certainly not the worst. Most of the animals have decent-sized enclosures and seem to be healthy. And it's not often you get to see lions, tigers, leopards, and elephants all for less than US$1.50! The zoo is set to expand to twice the size it is now, and there are plans to include a free-flight aviary, a marine world, and 'jungle adventures.' I'm not sure how they're going to create a jungle in the middle of the Qatari desert; that might be worth coming back to Doha in a couple of years just to see!
In addition to the animals mentioned above, you can also see giraffes, chimpanzees, oryx, flamingoes, zebras, a rhinoceros, lots of baboons, various deer and antelope species, as well as several nocturnal species that are kept in a special dimly-lit area so that you can see them when they're active.
Entrance is only QR 5. Opening hours are 7:30-11:30am and 3:30-8:30pm daily except Friday mornings. Tuesday afternoons are for ladies and children only; Wednesday afternoons are for families only. Opening hours can vary according to season so it's best to call ahead.

Trying a new style and would love some advice!
Hello all and first a quick explanation. I have recently finished my media degree and since leaving university I have really wanted to (and been working on) my drawing skills.
I have been playing around with a new style which reflects my interest in pin-ups, rockabillie and punk style fashions and pop art. My biggest influence at the moment in this sort of work is an artist known as Shag with his simple and distinct female forms and unshaded colouring style.
I understand I need some practice with the female form (feet and hands have never ever been a good thing for me...) but I was wondering if anyone could recommend some tips on colouring or how I could improve my pictures shown below.
I know there are a lot of much better artists in this wonderful corner of the internet and I admire many of them, and would love to hear some feedback. I am also working on a variety of print and tshirt designs which I hope to upload in the near future for some critique.
Thanks all!
Ok, these first two are done using no shading and a simple colour pallete. I wanted to make a series of zombie girl pin-ups, these were some first attempts and playing around with the idea.
This is my most recent work, using the same sort of art style but adopting shading. Sadly, I think I didn't do Jessica's ample bosom justice....
EDIT: Thought I would upload the original Jessica Rabbit sketch and the first colouring attempt I made using no shading, just for comparison purposes

the zombie girls look like they have chunks out of thier dresses..maybe change the bg color or add a stroke on the girls...on jessica the feet look to big and bubbly and her rear needs to be more round i think and she needs the white of her eye put in.. but otherwise I think they look good!

Blazin0Glory > yeah, I was toying with the idea of adding another colour to remove the appearance of pieces missing in the design. I think I will work with another shade of green, thanks for the comment, helped me confirm my suspicions and looking at her behind, yes, I think she needs a more valuptuous (sp?) figure. Thanks again, I will try have a good fiddle with Jessica later (oh my! )
Arthur 'Two Sheds' > I see what you mean about the knee joint, this will be added to my list of 'points to watch' when working on women. I usually stay away from attempting actual human forms and stick with small and silly cartoon things. But I will work on it!
Thank you both for the comments, I definately think these will help me refine these pictures, particularly Jessica.
Oh, and Arthur, are you still intending to purchase this 'second shed'?
August 18th, 2008 #4
White as a background color isnt the best choice. Maybe some light blue or green depending on the mood of the pic. Nice style though!

I am starting another fresh cycle soon. I'm cd2 and start bcps tomorrow and will probably get my protocol soon!
Anyone else starting soon?
Hello Ladies-
I would love to join you all- I have read through the first few pages and looks like you are all a wonderful and informative bunch!

Looking forward to encouraging you and joinning in on the conversations.

So glad everyone is having good luck so far!
Amy, that's awesome you had 2 good to transfer!!! Did you discuss with your DR about transfering 1 or 2? When I talked with the physician last week, they usually do 1 transfer, but 2 can be discussed. What are everyone's thoughts on this?
Cat, I hope things to good for you next week! I am also a worrier and can't sit still! Before this whole thing, I used to run 15 miles a week. They cut me down to walking :(. Its very difficult for me, but I know it will be for a good reason!!

Hello Girls. I would like to join you. I am not sure if I will be very active cause I was all day here on my last cycle and this time I rather to take it slowly.
This is my second IVF cycle. I got pregnant in May with my first IVF but MC at 8 weeks. This time they will do chrosomomal screening and transfter 2 so I will probably have twins but I made peace with it even though it scares me to ruin my body.
I will have to do FET because my progesterone levels are already high for this month. MY ET is tomorrow but then I will have to wait like a month for FET. I am so afraid of the PIO injections!.
Amy Hubby is really unsupportive as well. This cycle I did everything on my own. He didn't come with me not even once.
Any of you have to do FET in October?

are there any thoughts as to making this with a smaller cut? three pounds would be excessive for my two person household. could I still do this? or is not worth it to make with a three pound cut?
over 2 years ago Stubor
I wonder how this would do in a dry crockpot.
over 2 years ago nifbit
This recipe produced the most delicious pork roast I've ever eaten! I put the rub on the night before and set it in the roasting pan so it'd be ready to pop into the oven when I left in the morning before work. When I got home, it was perfectly cooked! Moist and flavorful! I made a quick pan sauce with the juices, but it really didn't need it. It was simply gilding the proverbial lily. We'll definitely be making this again!

A fuel truck driver is required to safely operate a tank wagon or tractor trailer with hazardous materials. At all times, these drivers must know and follow all required safety regulations, including in inclement weather. The ability to install chains on tires in ice, snow, mud, or rain is mandatory to manage driving in such weather. Fuel truck drivers must possess a working knowledge of different pump, hose, and wrench sizes and methods of operation, as filling and emptying are required on pickup and delivery. Overnight driving is not typically mandatory, but often shifts of 14 or more hours are expected (with at least 11 hours driving included).Read More...
A fuel truck driver often has to perform physical tasks such as climbing ladders, lifting replacement tires, and standing and sitting for long periods of time. Other duties associated with this job include inspection before and after any haul, maintaining proper paperwork (including forms, logs, and invoices as needed), and operating fuel pumps. Interpersonal skills are important for a fuel truck driverto work with dispatchers, attendants, technicians, suppliers, and customers upon delivery of the fuel.
A minimum of a high school degree or equivalent is expected for fuel truck driver jobs. Class A CDL certification with tanker hazmat endorsement are required for this position. A Department of Transportation (DOT) health card is mandatory for fuel truck drivers, as is a clean driving record.
Offering a median salary of only $34K, Ferrellgas gives out the smallest paychecks. Furthermore, the earnings range of $29K to $57K isn't that wide, either.
Survey results suggest that Fuel Truck Drivers put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, skills in tanker, hazmat, Safety Compliance, and Driver/Core Development are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Customer Service and CDL. Aptitude in hazmat tends to also indicate an understanding of Safety Compliance.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. Average salaries for inexperienced employees average out to around $39K, but folks who have five to 10 years of experience earn a higher median of $41K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $43K. Veterans who have worked for more than two decades do tend to make the most in the end; the median pay for this group is $46K.

A man stands in front of damaged houses on a muddy street of a suburb of the Black Sea port of Varna, Bulgaria, on June 20, 2014. AFP PHOTO / NIKOLAY DOYCHINOV
VARNA, Bulgaria: Flash floods in Bulgaria have killed at least 14 people, including two children, with others missing after torrential rains lashed the east of the country, authorities said Friday.
The worst hit was the Asparuhovo neighborhood of the Black Sea port city of Varna, where at least 11 people including two children died, local authorities said.
A 7-year-old child, who said he was with his sister and grandmother when the disaster hit, was rescued and taken to hospital.
Three more victims drowned in the nearby northeastern town of Dobrich and 150 people were evacuated from the lowest part of the town, where the water level remained waist-high Friday evening, an AFP photographer said.
A total of 1,200 tourists, including Germans, Russians and Britons, were evacuated – some via helicopters – from the nearby resort of Albena, resort chief Krasimir Stanev said.
Many Ukrainian children meanwhile remained blocked in their hotel in the village of Kranevo.
Navy divers continued to search a canal linking Lake Varna to the Black Sea, where all the floodwater drained away, dragging with it cars, furniture, garbage and uprooted trees. Two bodies were recovered.
Soldiers and 40 prisoners helped to evacuate people and clean up the piles of mud and garbage from the streets of Asparuhovo.

After what feels like more than a solid, straight decade of development, THE GREEN HORNET movie debuts today and I figure the occasion's appropriate from me to give you Comic Vine maniacs a primer on this classic masked man. Like Conan and the Shadow, the Green Hornet is what I like to call an unofficial comics character - - a superhero who debuted in another medium but has nevertheless appeared in enough sequential art to warrant inclusion here. Actually, since his radio debut in 1936 (predating Superman by about two years!) he's starred in pretty much every conceivable medium you can tell crime fighting stories in, from movie serials to pulp magazines to one highly-memorable TV show.So why don't you throw on your favorite lime-colored jacket and hop into the passenger's seat of the Black Beauty so we can go for a short little drive around the Green Hornet's block? == TEASER ==
The character's most unique quality amongst crime-fighters is that he's a hero who actually pretends to be a criminal, letting the resultant bad reputation get mobsters thinking he's one of them so he can gain access to their criminal underworld. As you'd expect, that puts him at odds with the police and probably makes him one of the earliest costumed anti-heroes of the modern fictional era. As for all the usual super hero criteria? Green Hornet has no powers, but he packs a high-tech arsenal that include tranquilizer dartguns and a supped-up, tricked-out and weaponized car, the Black Beauty (a sort-of stylish Batmobile.) A number of sons and nephews have been Green Hornets in the comics over the years, but the classic one is Britt Reid, a wealthy newspaper owner whose day-job, I suppose, is somewhat between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent's.
The Green Hornet might be one of the only heroes whose fame is arguably eclipsed by his sidekick's. Reid's valet Kato, a martial arts and automotive expert, was immortalized by the legendary Bruce Lee on the 60s TV show (which was more-or-less a response to the campy BATMAN show with Adam West.) THE GREEN HORNET was even retitled THE KATO SHOW in Hong Kong! Initially described as a Japanese, he was alternately retconed into a Filipino, Korean or simply an Oriental on the radio show and movie serials after the onset of World War II. Interestingly, later comics reconciled all those nationalities as cover stories Reid concocted to keep Kato from getting sent to an internment camp.
The first bit of trivia that inevitability comes up about the Green Hornet is that Britt Reid is actually the grand-nephew of the Lone Ranger (both characters being creations of George W. Trendle and Fran Striker.) At it would happen, both of these masked viglitantes have classical music themes ("Flight of the Bumblee" for Green Hornet and "William Tell Overture" for the Lone Ranger) and both have decidedly non-WASPy partners-in-justice (Tonto and Kato.) Because the characters' rights are owned sepearately, their familial connection has rarely been acknowledge beyond some sly nods. For example, a recent issue of Dynamite's LONE RANGER comic showed the Ranger's nephew Dan (Reid's grandfather) thwarting a villain by riling a hornet's nest on him (an act that gave him ideas for a legacy, obviously.)
Dynamite's running several GREEN HORNET titles, now. Some are based off of the script for Kevin Smith's earlier, unrealized movie version, with the original crime-fighting duo handing their mantles off to their children (one of which happens to be a female Kato.) Others star the classic characters, with Kato even having his own title.
So there - - you've just gotten through Green Hornet 101. Now you can take this new flick in with some savy and understanding your fellow movie-goers will most surely lack!

Cheese it!
Obama avoids Wisconsin.
4:57 PM, Jun 2, 2012 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
In their corner? The Wall Street Journal reported this week that public employee unions have seen dramatic drops in membership since Walker's reforms made union membership voluntary.
The Wisconsin branch of the American Federation of Teachers has lost some 6,000 of its 17,000 members. And membership in the state's chapter of AFSCME has plummeted from nearly 63,000 to just 29,000 in just one year.
It's not hard to understand why labor sees these reforms as such a threat and why they see the recall as so important. And yet Obama, if he's wearing comfortable shoes, is doing so everywhere other than Wisconsin.
Yes, it's true that Obama for America volunteers have been organizing in Wisconsin. And, yes, Obama endorsed Barrett – from Washington.
But how meaningless was that long-distance endorsement? When a reporter asked Jay Carney about it last week, the president's spokesman said he did not know that his boss had formally backed Barrett.
Beyond that, Obama doesn't want Wisconsin Democrats dispirited – perhaps even resentful – heading into November. His electoral strategy depends on a win in the state. We know this because his campaign has told us.
In December, Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina laid out the president's five best paths to 270 electoral votes – the West path, the Midwest path, the South path, the Florida path, and the Expansion path. What's notable about them in this context: Each one assumes a win in Wisconsin.
That's no longer a safe assumption, especially if Walker prevails on Tuesday. It's true that Obama won Wisconsin by a huge margin in 2008 – 56-42. And he's leading most polling now – with a RealClearPolitics average of 4.7 percent. But Republicans dominate the state legislature and hold the governorship. And the results of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections suggest the state could well be in play again. In 2004, John Kerry defeated George W. Bush by a margin of just 12,000 votes out of nearly 3 million. In 2000, Al Gore beat Bush by just 5,500 votes out of 2.5 million.
An Obama visit to Wisconsin, even if it preceded a loss, would have energized the activists who have been working in the state for more than a year – many of whom Obama will need to work for him over the next five months. And it would have given rank-and-file Democratic voters the sense that their president stood with them on a campaign of such obvious importance to them.
Maybe these folks will quickly move beyond the recall if Barrett loses. After all, five months is a long time to let those wounds heal.
But maybe not. It's a big chance to take.
Of course, there's another reason Obama might want to avoid Wisconsin—one that would not likely occur to Democrats in the state or their union brothers. Perhaps the White House understands that the reforms are working and recognizes that they're increasingly popular among Wisconsin voters. And that, it seems to me, would be the most devastating indictment of the recall yet.

Welcome to Lawrenson and Grebby Print Galleries, supplying decorative prints and pictures of Newcastle, Edinburgh, Liverpool and many other locations around the UK.
We have a wide selection of prints of Newcastle to choose from. These prints feature well known landmarks such as the Angel of the North and the Tyne Bridge as well as canvas prints of Newcastle Quayside. Our stock of Newcastle prints goes back to 2002 and so covers a wide range of events and structures. Newcastle upon Tyne has stunning views, we have wide selection of cityscape prints of Newcastle and night shots of the cityscape.
Our pictures of Edinburgh offer a further artistic slant on what is known the world over as an incredibly beautiful city. We have prints of Edinburgh dating back to 2007 but are adding new pictures regularly with recent pictures of the Forth Rail Bridge and prints of Edinburgh Castle. Other prints of edinburgh include the skyline from Scott Monument and prints of Edinburgh Castle taken from Calton Hill.
The recent prints of Liverpool are shot in black and white as well as colour. Liverpool is widely regarded as an stunning city for architecture. We have prints of Liverpool waterfronts and skyline and are adding new pictures periodically, our last visit being in 2014. The newer pictures include the Liverpool waterfront at sunset.
We also provide prints of London which include many landmark buildings and a range of prints of the London skyline.
With creative photography and post-production techniques, we turn original photos in to stunning vistas of well known cityscapes and architecture, creating beautiful stylised prints of Edinburgh, London, Newcastle and also recently, prints of Liverpool. Other prints and pictures of UK cities are also available. We look to offer original compositions combined with the traditional landmarks and cityscapes we have come to know and love.

Finlay MacDonald, 32, piper and tutor on RSAMD/National Piping Centre degree course.
When I was growing up in Neilston near Glasgow, my dad was the pipe major of the local band. We travelled all over with the band, to places like Portugal, Czechoslovakia and Spain.
Loading article content
My dad didn't force me to play the bagpipes. He started me off at eight or nine but I wasn't much into it. When I stopped playing he didn't make me continue. But about a year later, I changed my mind. My dad was into the folk music side of things and I thought it looked like fun.
Competing has never been my motivation. I play for music's sake. My dad always maintained that you have to enjoy playing, and I think I got that from him. Dad was always fun and had different sides to his piping, not just the militaristic style.
We're both pretty keen cooks and that's another channel for creativity. Dad taught me to cook. We also enjoy spending time with the rest of the family. I have a young son of my own and two nephews.
I think Dad and I are quite similar. He's quite disorganised, like me, thinking about tunes most of the time.
We're both quite open people. With Dad, I always noticed that if someone wasn't up to standard he would try to make sure they felt included and part of the team. I think I'm quite like that – there are lots of great players out there but it should be about being part of a team.
We both enjoy the craic. The friendship and camaraderie is such a big part of the piping scene. And we both love music, which is the main link. I admire Dad's willingness to give time and effort to people, his encouragement and his inclusiveness – those things are really important. He's so committed. He's never lost the excitement, which can be hard when you do something for so long. I think that's admirable.
Iain MacDonald, 60, piper and piping tutor.
I've been piping since I was eight or nine. I started teaching Finlay at around the same age – I think that's the optimum age. I recognised that Finlay had a very special talent from early on. As a matter of course, I started teaching him but it wasn't always easy, for a variety of reasons. Sometimes fathers and sons will clash or disagree, which is only natural. He went through a bit of a rebellious stage, but I don't know whether his lack of interest in piping was part of that or not.
If a child doesn't want to learn, I think you've just got to let things take their course. I believe that people who have natural talent will come back to their music.
As a young piper, Finlay was a great source of inspiration for me because he was very creative. When he was 14 or 15 years old he started to compose and make arrangements of tunes and became very aware of the types of music I was interested in, which were not necessarily mainstream Scottish piping. From being a young man, I had an interest in piping from different countries. I was very fortunate in the early 1970s to be given a collection of Irish, Spanish, French and Northumbrian pipes. So Finlay had different pipes at his disposal. With the establishment of the National Piping Centre and the BA Scottish Music (piping) degree course in conjunction with RSAMD, he had a goal to aim for.
We've always got on well, though at times we disagree about musical instruments. When it comes to teaching, we both have a degree of patience, which is a virtue in teaching any instrument. We are also able to look at musical situations and adapt them.
Naturally, I'm extremely proud of his achievements. I can see from the outside he is popular with the students of the degree course he teaches on.
I've learned and been able to appreciate some of the more contemporary pieces he's composed or arranged, which I might otherwise have ignored or sidestepped. We still play together. At my recent 60th birthday, we had a whole bunch of session musicians and we were playing the Border pipes together. It was either that or go up in a helicopter – I'd much rather just play music.
Finlay MacDonald will perform with fiddler Chris Stout at the Pipes & Strings night, on August 11. Visit www.pipinglive.co.uk

Ready to go!
I've been back to Taiwan twice now. I loved it both times and would love to go back more often (almost all of my family still lives in Taiwan). I would also love to travel to new places and experience new cultures. I also enjoy going camping. There is just something about going out in the middle of nowhere where there are no phones, computers, TVs, etc. and just enjoying the peace of nature. I have a few passions that I would like to pursue more. I love cooking. I would love to find someone to inspire me to go to new heights experimenting with new dishes or perfecting the ones that I already know. An ideal day/weekend/week would be to whip up some delicious munchies, head out into the woods, relax and spend the evening enjoying good food and good conversation. It's always fun, and a great stress reliever, to go shooting. I also enjoy staying in and doing whatever (a movie, talking, reading, or just nothing in particular). It's always nice to go out for the evening for a nice dinner every once in a while. It's nice to mix things up and keep things exciting as well as staying in and just relaxing. I read a lot (mostly sci-fi and fantasy). When I read, I like stories that pull you in to a whole new world with exciting new adventures... somewhere you can forget about the daily worries for a while. I also do enjoy playing video games. However, that is how I get to interact with most of my closest friends since they are all over the country. I am open to new things (I'll try just about anything once). I would like to find someone that is independent but still likes to be pampered.

11:2 your children. Since the people had seen God's wonderful deliverance (v. 8), they should therefore obey God's commands all the more faithfully. In his mention of "children," it does not seem that Moses distinguishes the adults over age forty in his audience, who had seen the Exodus, from the youths who had not. The younger generation also had seen God's preserving care and discipline in the wilderness (vv. 5, 6). Probably, therefore, Moses is distinguishing the current generation to which he was speaking from their children yet to be born.

Twitter users who have forgotten their password will now be able to reset their key via SMS codes, thanks to a new feature to remove login obstacles.
The feature comes in addition the traditional email password reset mechanism for Twitter, bringing it up to par with Google, which has enabled SMS-based password recovery since 2009.
To enable password resets via SMS, Twitter users will need to register their mobile number with their account. If they've forgotten their password, they'll be able to go to the standard 'Forgot password?' page and enter or their mobile number or username.
Twitter will then send a six digit code that expires after 15 minutes, which the user inputs to a web page before being prompted to pick a new password.
Twitter has troubleshooting advice here for users that run into difficulty.
"The new process lets you choose the email address or phone number associated with your account where you'd like us to send your reset information. That way, whether you've recently changed your phone number, or are traveling with limited access to your devices, or had an old email address connected to your Twitter account, you've got options," Twitter

Aly Ramputi12/30/145 Stars - We called them at almost midnight Christmas Eve and they took us in right away. they were wonderful to us and our dog. Hope we never have to use them again but if we do I wouldn't think twice about going there.Georgia Milionis Peets08/31/141 Stars - I called this emergency clinic after finding an abandoned newborn kitten. All the receptionist had to say was it would be very expensive for them to even see the kitten. Then, they would need to test it to make sure it wasn't a carrying for any cat diseases. THEN, it could try and help it but survival for a newborn kitten without a mother was so slim they really couldn't do ANYTHING for it. I called the Wappingers Falls Emergency clinic, who offered to see this kitten found in this AWFUL situation for free. They were going to help set us up with taking care of this newborn. Once the vet realized how sick it was they said we should turn over care to them, so they could do the best financially for the animal. Everyone was kind and caring during this heartbreaking experience. I would NEVER go to this animal ER with my own pets. I want compassionate people who love animals.A Google User07/08/105 Stars - Recently our 12 year old Yorkie lost control of his legs, couldn't stand up on his own. The was a very scary situation and of course it was at 8:00 in the evening. We took our Yorkie to this clinic. The Vet, Dr Nicosia, did a thorough exam and said he probably has a disc problem in his cervical spine and needed immediate care from a facility that had a neurosurgeon on staff. She recommended the Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in NJ as they could do an MRI and had a neurosurgeon on staff. She nailed the diagnosis (herniated disc at C4/C5). The referral was outstanding. Our Yorkie had the surgery and is recovering very well. Both clinics were outstanding.

FRONTLINE Hires Yahoo! News' Andrew Golis
March 15, 2011, 2:56 pm ET
FRONTLINE today announced it has appointed Andrew Golis as Director of Digital Media/Senior Editor, a new position designed to more effectively integrate the series' broadcast, Web and new media initiatives and to support its ongoing effort to remake the series for the digital age.
"Andrew brings a fresh perspective to FRONTLINE's strategic thinking about our digital future," says series senior producer Raney Aronson-Rath. "We look forward to working closely with him to re-imagine a more 'connected' viewing experience and to help develop the series for rich, interactive environments across platforms."
Most recently, Mr. Golis was the editor of blogs at Yahoo! News, where he was tapped to build a network of non-partisan reported blogs, bringing breaking news and original content to the site. At Yahoo!, Golis recruited an all-star team of reporter-bloggers from publications like Politico, The Washington Post and Newsweek and built a network of blogs that after just six months was already generating more than 100 million pageviews. Previously, he was the deputy publisher of "Talking Points Memo." Mr. Golis speaks regularly on digital journalism and new business models. He graduated with honors from Harvard University with a bachelor of arts in American political history.
"I believe FRONTLINE is already the most important television show in the country. But, as TV undergoes a massive digital disruption in the next few years, it has the opportunity to leverage its powerful investigative reporting and storytelling to expand its audience and impact," says Mr. Golis. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help guide that transition."

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 573 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dolly12 Really Great Hotel We have enjoyed staying at this hotel since 2003 & 2010 and again this year. We will definitely stay again in future trips. The Hotel Staff we very friendly and helpful and could not do enough for us. The Maid Service is outstanding and tried to very hard make our stay enjoyable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. October 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rog14 This Hotel has great features A swarm of termites interrupted on night of my stay. Very annoying. Otherwise "Perfecto"! October 15, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by tigershark8 Horrible Bathrooms Bathrooms were disgusting. October 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by hollywood hollywood i found the hotels location wonderful for our needs everyone was friendly and show was great !!!! October 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Austonian Overall Good 'Value' Hotel Great hotel in Waikiki with views of the Pacific ocean. This is one of my favorite hotels to stay at in Waikiki because it tends to be one of the more affordable hotels in the area and it's also right in the middle of all the action. The beach is just across the street, and it's very easy to access. I tend to stay at this property when I'm in Honolulu for a longer stay because it's more affordable. Three aspects of this hotel I enjoy: 1) SPG Redemption: This is an excellent hotel for which to redeem your SPG points. If cash and points option is available, I recommend using that. I am frequently upgraded at this property to tower rooms with an ocean view. 2) Location: Centrally located and within walking distance to all areas of Waikiki. 3) Price: While the rooms are a little antiquated, they are very clean and comfortable. I especially like the fact that most rooms have balconies. I feel the nightly rates at this property are an overall good value for the location. One area for improvement: 1) Room Décor: Ideally rooms can be refreshed within the next few years. Bathrooms and fixtures are older, but in good working order. For SPG elite members… SPG benefits are honored and I'm upgraded each time I visit (even during peak season). October 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rebelyell Great location and overall a good place The location is great right in the heart of Waikiki and across the street from the beach. The hotel needs a facelift and has been delayed because it was to be torn down a few years ago. The recession has shelved that plan. The rooms are very clean and the beds comfy. The hotel is full of mostly Japanese package tourists. They have a great Aloha show each night with different acts poolside. This is really nice and well done! The staff is nice except for the bar staff by the pool. They are slow and could care less if they even help you. This has been the same way for 2-3 years. Over all we like the Princess for the value and the location. She just needs a freshening. We'll be back. October 3, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Boothy Needs improvement This hotel needs to clean its act up. The rooms badly need a refit and the staff at the hotel need to do a course in customer service. The towel staff around the pool are way to busy talking to each other than talking to customers. The check in staff could be a lot more friendly. Overall after staying at an SPG hotel, I expect a lot better service. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. October 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BackagainAussies BackAgainAussies Once again we return... We have stayed at this Hotel a number of times over the years. We love it here. We have young children and this Hotel caters so well for families. We love the intimacy and the not so hectic pace. The pool is not crowded, the pool bar/restaurant are very accommodating and the views are great. You can enjoy the energy of the street mixed with great views of the ocean and swimmers and surfers on Waikiki Beach. The location is perfect - centrally located within close proximity to great shopping and restaurants. October 2, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by mrbb Check in The check in experience couldn't have been worse. Was moved from room to occupied room. The experience should not have happened to anyone much less a repeat customer for over ten years October 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by matilda matilda This hotel is centrally located and has gret service September 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by tbootsie Pleasantly surprised I went online the week before my trip to Hawaii & saw quite a few negative reviews on your website, so much so that I wanted to cancel & book elsewhere. I sure am glad that I did not as the place was beautiful & located right in the middle of all the action. Yes, it is an older hotel, but it was kept up beautifully and our rooms were very nice & very clean. I would deffinitely stay here again if I ever get back to paradise! The price was right & the free breakfast was a feast to start our day, held me over until dinner! September 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mal49 Love the bed... I had no problem falling asleep due to the comfort of the bed. I've stayed at other Starwood Hotels and have to say all their beds are heavenly comfortable. One thing that was unsatisfactory at the Princess K was the shower drain. Drained so slowly. Please check it out.....Room 501. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied. Maybe next time I'll request a ocean view room. September 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by PatRN Historical ambiance of days gone by. Every time my ohana stays at PK, I am reminded of the beautiful Princess and Ainahau. The hotel has great pictures of the princess and the historical significance of the property reminds me of Hawaiian Ali'i and history of days gone by. The staff at PK have true aloha spirit. September 26, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by blueslip Inconsiderate Check-In Staff AA made the booking for me due to flight delay. I arrived at the property at 3AM & been up for 24hrs. The main check-in staff was very sympathetic of the situation I was in but still tried to verify what rules that would apply for this kind of room booking for SPG Platinum. A second check-in staff joined her; she was inconsiderate and even tried to hold the check-in process. I had to stop her talking for I was extremely tired, yet she kept blabbing. Eventually, the first person, who was responsible for my check-in, gave the key card and directed me to the elevator. The next day, I spoke with the Concierge manager, who could only be apologetic to the situation. However, action has more meaning than just apologetic words. This was my first time to stay in a room booked by an airline. Unfortunately, the choosing of this property was based on my insistence to AA and as a loyal SPG customer. The room was not for free and I brought in business to this property. I deserved better treatment, not like someone who was begging for special treatment. I was extremely tired, needed rest and not to be treated with inconsideration. I own a business and I always treat nicely all my customers regardless of who is paying the bill. This hotel is over rated and its Category 5 status is a complete deception to customers. The room I stayed in is comparable to a motel room. September 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MojoPotato Awesome ocean views Our room(s) were on the 10th floor - a nice upgrade for my dad's 70 Bday. The only drawback was the comedy club one floor above whcih we could clearly hear - it started at 9pm! September 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Patty310 Our Stay was awesome!! The staff was great... the breakfast buffett awesome and free hula & lei making classes are very Hawaii'an hospitality. We loved our stay at the Sheraton PK! September 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dlo62 Great location, friendly staff! I was recomended to stay at this location. And I am really happy that I did! Great Hotel ! September 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mandolinman Parking garage is the worst If your travel to Honolulu does not involve use of an automobile, then the Sheraton Princess is okay--not great, but fair. Staff is polite and helpful, rooms are small but tolerable if you are on a budget, food is quite expensive--lots of better restaurant choices. BUT--if you have a rental (or borrowed) car, forget the Sheraton Princess!! The parking garage is a hopeless maze, and if you have any problems with stairs then don't even bother. The low point of our stay in Honolulu was the SP garage. I suggest you go elsewhere. September 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by septemberlove Excellent, excellent choice!! We just came back from Hawaii, I highly recommend this hotel, I just can't say enough about the excellent service we received, every aspect of this hotel is just great!!!. September 23, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by bingo11 needs improvement very noisy. took 2 days to sort out air conditioning. for the price not great. September 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by wahine808 housekeeping very helpful, when i called front desk to have extra blankets, they came right away. September 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nguyen54 2nd stay is not as expected We stayed 3 nights (Sept 7,8,9) before travelled to Maui, the first 3 nights were great. We retuned for another 2 nights (Sept 12, 13), checked in late on Sept 12 and I did not have time to do much other than going straight to bed. The morning after, I saw a crochroach on the wall, We had to packed and moved to another room. The new room was nice but it faces the pool and the door to the bacony is extremely heavy to open. We did not want to move again as we did not have much time left. September 17, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BrownFamily121611 Amazing views! Overall, the our stay was pretty comfortable. My husband and I travel frequently and for our first time in Hawaii, the hotel was average. We could have done without the smell of cigarette smoke. The rooms need some updating, as well as the hotel in general, but the views and location cannot be beat. The staff was very accommodating and Marsha, at the activity desk, was simply amazing. She helped us to make every moment memorable. Next visit, hopefully as a Starwood Points member we can get a room on a higher floor. September 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MarcelaFromSeattle Great Value, Friendly Staff, Close to beach!!! This is a great hotel for the price. It is located right off the Waikiki strip across the street from the beach and near great food and shopping. The staff is very friendly and the hotel amenities met all of our needs. The beds and pillows in the rooms are very comfortable and the mini fridge and complementary in room coffee was great! Overall, our stay was very pleasant the lobby and rooms were clean & it was a perfect location for someone on a budget. The only thing I would recommend for the hotel is to have the tile in bathroom re-grouted since they appeared to have mold growing between them, but other than that the hotel met all of my expectations. Thank you for your wonderful service and friendly staff! I hope to stay there again someday. September 12, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by sgabal Platinum Members Beware I'm a current Platinum member and have never reviewed any starwood hotel in the past because for the most part all have been excellent. This Sheraton Princess Kalulani however is the worst Starwood hotel I have ever stayed at. Traveling to Hawaii on vacation I decided to stay at this Sheraton because usually as a Platinum member you are treated like royalty, given room upgrades, free WIFI, free water, to name a few of the benefits. I was not given a platinum level room, instead I was given an adjoining room with very noisy neighbors. The bathroom had insects, there was a used razor in the closet, and worst of all I was charged $18/day (plus tax) for WIFI and water and of course I wasn't able to get WIFI in my room. Not to mention the rooms are horribly old and need updating, the noise at night is unbearable. My advice to fellow SPG members, STAY AWAY! September 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by RegLovesToTravel This hotel is in a good location The location of this hotel was great. Walking distance to good shopping, eateries, and the beach. I did find it strange that we needed a towel card to obtain a beach/pool towel; but I guess too many people have stolen towels before...? On the 4th night of our stay, I had a nose bleed. I didn't like that I had to ask the staff to change the sheets (we stayed a total of 8 nights)--they should have changed it because the blood on the sheets was visible. Another thing I didn't like was that pool towels were limited to one per guest; two pool towels per guest would be more ideal. The best part about this hotel was its resort fees because it includes 2 bottles of water and in/out parking privileges per room. Overall, this hotel was a good deal. September 11, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bob18 Not up to Starwood Standards Price is good for location, but property is worn out and lacks upkeep. Rooms have not been renovated since 70's. Resort fee is absurd and offers no value to SPG Elite. At check out asked about the discount on dinning included in my room rate, Front officer manager who was checking me out said "oops' but then after calculating it with a calculator was no where close to correct, I had to ask her to calculate again two additional times. Good Location, good price, only wish they came up to Starwood standards. September 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kolohe10 We are locals and like this hotel Room 2840 is terrible. Lanai door very hard to open. Lanai unusable due to high winds. We have been staying here for almost 30 years, this is the worst room. 2844 is just as bad, we had both. Front desk often doesn't know the answers to questions. Ask a clerk a question, ask another clerk later, different answer, ask a third and get another answer. No one in 30 years said that the Splash Bar will validate hotel parking. September 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rollie1967 quiet location The Princess has a great location, yet the thick sliding glass doors and blackout curtains allow a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. Waikiki can be very noisy,even at night but thats not an issue here. The cold water and fruit on the beach service was a nice plus- other beach visitors im sure were wondering how we acquired such great service. September 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by CCWSteve Better last time, probably will be our last time. We asked for whatever the quietest room may be and we were given a room on the 28th floor back to back with the service elevators. Made our way back down to be sent up to the 11th floor. Ocean view room, but with bed facing the opposite building. Couldn't really view the ocean unless you went to the deck or stood by the door. Bathroom and furniture was all very outdated and tub took forever to drain. Didn't want to have to change rooms again so we just put up with it. Every time we have stayed at PK we have had to change rooms or had someone given the key to our room, or received calls in the middle of the night from strangers looking for someone else..... We will think twice before we would book again. Actually, one time we did receive a nice room and had a nice stay was when the manager had compt us a room because of the time someone entered our room with a key given from the front desk in the middle of our stay.

Update- Eat Clean Diet

Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Hey, SP. Things have been quite busy. Grad classes started and I have to be out of my apartment by the end of this month. My sister had her second baby yesterday (a girl). Things have been going well with school and with life in general. Exercise hasn't been as much as it was before, but food is going very well. I am doing Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet (this is my first week). I was already doing a lot of things, like not eating white flour, but there were some things I needed to learn. I didn't know I was eating so many things that had added sugar. Monday I didn't plan enough and was in desperate need of food by the time I got home in the evening. Tuesday I have grad classes and am out of the house from 5:30 AM until 9:00 PM. I made sure that I planned better and it went great! You are supposed to eat every 3 hours and have 5-6 small meals total. Here is what my day looked like...
Meal 1
Tosca Reno No Bake Energy Bar (raw honey, PB2, almond butter, oats, vanilla protein powder, raisins, and slivered almonds). Quite tasty!
Meal 2
Plain chobani greek yogurt with raw honey, oats, and raisins
Meal 3
Frittata (chicken, spinach, quinoa, and powdered egg whites)
Meal 4
Banana with almond butter, raw honey, and unsweetened cocoa dip
Meal 5
Strawberries and a hard boiled egg
Meal 6 (optional if you are still hungry. I chose this meal because it was one of my longer days and I still had some calories left)
Goya pink beans and quinoa
The day's worth of food took a half hour in the morning to prepare, measure, weigh, and pack. I was very content all day. I have also lost 1.4 lbs after doing this for a few days. I definitely feel like what I am putting into my body is much better and I feel well fueled.
Here are some random pictures.
Tosca Reno cookbook and Tosca Reno eat clean diet: stripped (losing the last 10 lbs)
Stomach comparison shot.... 6.5 weeks left of the 12 week challenge.
What I wore to an engagement party on the 2nd.
Trying to wear more accessories (think this was around the 6th).
The only other thing that has shaken life up a bit was that Monday I got the news that my student teacher from last year was killed in a car accident that morning. On his way to teaching in a nearby county his car went over the line (possibly due to ice), he was hit by a school bus, car burst into flames, and he died on the scene. He was 23 years old and was a first year math teacher. It has been sad having to break the news to my students from last year. They have been very supportive and it is evident that even only having him with us for a short few months that he made a huge impact. It is hard though dealing with the flow of former students in my room constantly asking about the accident and wanting to talk about it. I am glad that they care so passionately about him, but it is also hard being the bad news liaison and having the responsibility of that role for my entire school. I can't imagine how his parents, siblings, and students must feel. We haven't heard yet when services are going to be, but it is going to be very emotional. I sat out of Zumba on monday because of what happened, but I am trying not to let emotions impact my eating. So far so good.

So when does a school dictate use of force. If an Officer told me to stop and I did not my folks would have tanned my hide. Not sue or go after the Officer or his dept.
My mom would have asked where she could have obtained a taser.

From what this young combatant said, he was still engaged in the fight when the Taser was deployed. So he ignored any and all orders to cease as the officer approached. Having ignored such commands, usually not spoken softly, the officer used his Taser and stopped the fight. THE END.
Interesting comment that was made by Vince Matranga, the former chief of security for the Sacramento School District. He said, "A taser might be used if they have a weapon that they are using during the fight, or they really become with the officers, and pepper spray is not working. Then I could see a taser being used."
Perhaps he is not up to date on the latest training with regards to using a taser AFTER pepper spray has been used and that there is a potential for the target who was pepper sprayed to ignite.
Also, by the description as printed, the incident apparently occurred in a "hallway" outside of a classroom, leading me to believe that the hallway was inside of a structure. Had the officer deployed pepper spray in this incident, many people within the structure would also have been effected by the pepper spray as it is carried through the building ventilation system.
I think in this case, I am going to trust the officer and his decision to use the taser to limit the overall propensity for injuries to himself, the two combatants or the rest of the faculty and staff inside of the structure.

These kids these days do not listen to thier piers, and are getting much bigger these days. I for one would use a TASER on both of them. An officer these days dosent know if they would have had weapons, and turned on them.

Could it be the parents and the kid are simply looking for a payday? Nooooo, not in our kinder, gentler society where everyone always tells the truth!

One police officer, 2 students (and he doesn't look like a tiny kid). Kids didn't know how to behave so they start fighting. The officer could try to tell them to stop (if they were that obedient they wouldn't have been asked to leave the class in the first place), possibly jump in between them (and undoubtedly be told he was too rough with one of the little darlings) or use a compliance device which obviously had no lasting effect on this lawsuit seeking little gem and end the fight safely. I agree with the officer's decision.
