Twitter recently announced that over 200 million Tweets are posted each day. This is an incredible figure, underlying the success of the service.

So here are 10 great tools that I am using each day to make the most of Twitter, whilst still remaining productive.

Today we're going to review the Bestop vehicle organizer, under-seat lock and storage box, part number B4264001. This is a locking storage box to protect your valuables. It comes with two keys and a tamper resistant lock. It opens up. It's got nice, full roller sliders, for a smooth acting drawer. It's made of a sixteen gauge steel to create the box. It's got a nice black powder coated finish so it will blend in nicely when it's mounted underneath the driver's seat. Our box is going to mount in two fashions.
Hopkins Go Gear Interior Cargo Organizer Review
Today we'll be taking a look at the Hopkins Compact Size Go Gear Interior Cargo Organizer, part number HN75102. This compact storage organizer would be the perfect solution for your busy life. It features three storage areas and when you undo these hook and loop fasteners, the separators fold down creating one large storage area. The two pockets at the front of our organizer would be great for a cell phone or an mp3 player. It will also fit a drink. They're made of an expandable elastic mesh so they will accommodate a variety of different sized drinks. The side of our organizer features a hidden handle for easy transport.

Here on the outside of our vehicle organizer we've got a removable CD holder, which will fit on the other side, as well as several mesh pockets. It measures 14.5 inches long by 13.5 inches wide and it's 9 inches tall.

Today in this 2003 F-250 Superduty, we're going to show you part #HL09211. This is a Husky Liners gear box. Okay, this is what it looks like when it's installed in the vehicle. You can see here we have the seat down, and it sits underneath of it, and the seat acts like a lid. Although, you can slip objects inside through this edge right here, which is about an inch. Okay. You can see it has a built-in cut-out for for the jack for a truck, and now you can see the rest of it is a tray that holds all your stuff.
Bestop Vehicle Organizer B4264101 Review
Today we're going to be reviewing part number B4264101. This is the Bestop under seat locking storage box. It is going to be a custom fit for 1997 to 2006 Jeep TJs and Jeep Wranglers. If you want to permanently install this, it's going to use the mounting bracket, which I went ahead and installed. That's going to mount with the seat bracket bolts. You need to install the foot here on the backside, on the underside of the box as well.

Jack Adams
From MagicPedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Revision as of 06:44, 2 March 2011 by Philippe billot (Talk | contribs)
|Jack Adams
|March 2, 1937
|March 16, 1994 (age 57)
Jack Adams was an actor, illusionist, pantomimist, quick-change artist, makeup expert, and storyteller.
He started as a stage magician in 1974 while still a student at Florida International University. His assistant then was Diane Bray.
Adams appeared on and off Broadway, on television and film and traveled around the world several times. He was the star of "The Incredible Merlin Magic Show".
He was a founding member of Mystery School.[1]
Around 1970, Adams bought an old hotel in the Catskills and dubbed it the Magic Mountain Hotel. The venture only lasted a few months.
His love for comedy, slapstick and innuendos lives on in his daughter Jenny Adams, who also helped out with Mystery School.

Tight Oil-Driven Production Growth Reduces Need for US Oil Imports
In the Annual Energy Outlook 2014 (AEO2014) Reference case, crude oil production rises from 6.5 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) in 2012 to 9.6 MMbbl/d before 2020, a production level not seen since 1970. Tight oil production growth accounts for 81% of this increase, and sees its share of national crude oil production grow from 35% in 2012 to 50% in 2019. In the High Oil and Gas case, U.S. crude oil production reaches 11.3 MMbbl/d in 2019 and reaches 13.3 MMbbl/d in the mid-2030s.
Under the Reference case, the import share of U.S. petroleum and other liquid fuels falls to about 25% during the last half of the current decade before rising again to 32% by 2040. In comparison, the High Oil and Gas Resource case projects that net U.S. oil imports will continue to decline through the mid-2030s and remain at or near zero between 2035 and 2040.
In the High Oil and Gas Resource case, tight oil plays an even more prominent role in driving national production growth, accounting for nearly two-thirds of total U.S. production by 2035, versus less than half of total U.S. production in the Reference case. Tight oil development is still at an early stage, and the outlook is highly uncertain. In EIA's view, there is more upside potential for greater gains in production than downside potential for lower production levels. The High Oil and Gas Resource case assumes improvements in tight oil production technology beyond those in the Reference case, as well as higher well productivity rates.
Other assumptions reflected in the High Resource case include:
- Identification of additional tight oil resources
- 50% higher Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) for tight/shale oil and natural gas wells
- 50% lower well spacing per acre for tight/shale oil and natural gas wells, with diminishing EUR for closely-spaced wells
- A 1% annual increase in the EURs for tight/shale oil and natural gas wells reflecting both abundant resources and technology advances
- Additional resources in Alaska and Lower 48 offshore fields
Additional analysis can be found in the AEO 2014 Issues in Focus discussion of alternative oil and natural gas resource and technology cases.

The Redskins will be brining back all 12 members of the draft class of 2011 this year.
Rich Campbells article on Jammal Brown last week contained an interesting revelation. His chronic hip problems have been caused in part by the way his feet point when he walks.
Now that salary cap-gate over, what's next for the Redskins 53-man roster.
The Redskins 90-man offseason roster is set, at least for the time being. Its time to take a look at who they have, who will start, and who will be around when the Sept.
Maurice Hurt was supposed to spend the 2011 season on the practice squad, honing his ability and learning the NFL game so that he could challenge for a backup tackle spot in 2012.

Flames Face Big Red In Tournament
Story By: Jeff Alan
Originally Published on: 2/27/2014
At 13-8, the Mansfield Christian Flames, winners of the Mid-Buckeye Conference will face Firelands Conference champ 21-2 Plymouth in the Division IV sectional final at Ontario Friday at 8pm. The two teams met earlier this season back in January with Plymouth coming out on top 66-44. Flames coach John Kurtz, says in the first meeting his team was coming off a one point win over rival Mansfield St.Peter's the night before and thought maybe his team was not as motivated as the night before. One of the things he says his team will have to contain is Plymouth's ability to go on scoring runs which they can do with ease with two 1,000 point scorers in juniors Tyson Beebe and Tyrell Edmiston. Kurtz adds the Big Red also has gotten points from point guard Hunter Bailey and three point shooter Dodge Collins. Senior Griffin Wood also adds that his team must hold their own on the boards and not let Edmiston control the paint. The winner of this game will move on to the Division IV district semifinal at Willard next Tuesday against Danbury Lakeside or Sandusky St.Mary's Central Catholic.

Home > Press > CBEN Launches Partnership for Sustainable Nanotechnology
The Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) at Rice University today announced the formation of the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON).
The Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) at Rice University today announced the formation of the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON), a collaboration among academic, industry, regulatory and non-governmental interest groups that will work to assess, communicate, and reduce potential environmental and health risks associated with nanotechnology. Key council advisors met at Rice today to launch the new initiative.
"ICON was created to directly and openly address issues of nanotechnology sustainability now so that potential benefits can be maximized and potential pitfalls can be avoided," said Vicki L. Colvin, CBEN director and professor of chemistry at Rice University. "Success will depend upon the efforts of many people and organizations from a variety of sectors."
ICON welcomes participation from a diverse group of stakeholders, including academic researchers, government researchers and policymakers, industrial researchers and safety officers, and members of nonprofit organizations. ICON is located at Rice and coordinated by CBEN.
Activities in four categories will be supported by the council:
ICON activities will be supported by the hard work of people from government, industry, academia and the non-profit community and through contributions from industrial partners committed to adopting responsible strategies for nanotechnology commercialization. ICON Founding Sponsors include DuPont, Procter and Gamble, Intel, L'Orķal, Mitsubishi Corporation/Frontier Carbon Corporation and the Swiss Reinsurance Company. Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. is a supporting member.
"As a global science company, DuPont is proud to be a founding sponsor of ICON as it creates an international forum for discussion and debate of nanotechnology stewardship issues where diverse groups of stakeholders can work together to progress the boundaries of science in a sustainable and responsible way," said William Provine, DuPont's ICON representative.
Key participants from the non-profit sector include philosopher Davis Baird (University of South Carolina) and pulmonary toxicologist G³nter Oberd÷rster (University of Rochester). Government advisors include Donald Marlowe (Food and Drug Administration), Andrew Maynard (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and David Rejeski (Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars). Also in attendance at today's launch meeting were ICON advisors Tracy Hester (Bracewell & Patterson, LLP) and Sean Murdock (Nanobusiness Alliance), as well as staff members from public interest organizations including Environmental Defense and the ETC Group.
"What we're really trying to do is create a new model for the introduction of emerging technologies into society," stated Kristen M. Kulinowski, executive director of CBEN and faculty fellow in chemistry at Rice. "Instead of waiting for problems to emerge and then reacting, we want to get ahead of the curve. That requires anticipating, as best we can, under what circumstances engineered nanomaterials might adversely affect the environment or human health, and then engaging in research and policymaking to head off these potential problems."
ICON's first activity: Standards for nanomaterials
The first activity supported by the council is the formation of an international study group tasked with developing a universal, systematic terminology system for engineered nanoparticles. Research into the properties, synthesis, and applications of nanostructures is growing at an exponential rate, yet to date there does not exist a common language to describe the chemical compositions and physical forms of these new materials. This deficiency hampers technical communication within and across the various fields involved in this highly interdisciplinary enterprise; outreach to the public at large as products containing nanomaterials enter the marketplace; and effective governmental oversight of and standardization for the industry.
More information can be found here.
The Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology is a National Science Foundation Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center dedicated to developing sustainable nanotechnologies that improve human health and the environment. Located at Rice University in Houston, TX, USA, CBEN is a leader in ensuring that nanotechnology develops responsibly and with strong public support. For more information, visit cben.rice.edu

ACLJ & Jay Sekulow Sue CA School District
The fate of after-school Bible clubs in California may rest on the outcome of a lawsuit filed in United States District Court. The suit filed by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) argues that Orange County's Buena Park School District unconstitutionally rejected a Christian youth club's request to meet in District facilities on equal grounds with similar, nonprofit, nonreligious youth organizations.
The "Good News Club," a local affiliate of the international, Bible-centered organization Child Evangelism Fellowship, provides school kids with extracurricular educational programming and recreational activities that teach about life from a biblical perspective. Child Evangelism Fellowship's West Orange County chapter was denied a request to use district facilities free of charge, despite California Education Code allowing nonprofit, youth-oriented groups to use public school facilities at no cost. Similar nonprofit groups have historically been permitted to meet after hours without charge at Buena Park schools.
"This selective application of policy speaks ill of the Buena Park School District's respect for and understanding of the Constitution," said David French, ACLJ Senior Counsel. "Freedom doesn't stop at the schoolhouse door. Child Evangelism Fellowship has every right to equal treatment and access to public school facilities for its after-school events."
The ACLJ's lawsuit contends Buena Park School District stands in violation of the First Amendment on free speech, free exercise of religion and establishment of religion grounds. It also asserts that Child Evangelism Fellowship's Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection under the law has been impacted by the district's selective application of its own facility usage policies.
"Ultimately, this case is about legal equality. Religious speech is entitled to the same access as any other kind of speech, and religious students deserve the same treatment as all other students," said French.

A middle-income family may spend $234,900 to raise a child born in 2011 to the age of 18, a 3.5 percent increase in a year, according to a government report.
Expenses for child care and education, transportation and food represented the biggest jumps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report obtained by Bloomberg News and being released Thursday. Adjusted for anticipated inflation, a child in a middle-class family would cost $295,560 to raise, the department said.
Editor's Note: Economist Unapologetically Calls Out Bernanke, Obama for Mishandling Economy. See What They Did.
"It's not just the cost, it's the pressure," said Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute based in New York. Competitive educational environments and an awareness of what it takes for children to succeed are prompting more spending, she said in a telephone interview.
The typical two-parent middle-income family spent $12,290 to $14,320 in 2011 on each child, the study found. Households that make less spend less, USDA researchers said. A family earning less than $59,410 a year will probably spend $169,080 in 2011 dollars to rear a child, while parents earning more than $102,870 may pay $389,670, according to the study.
"Families receive little support as they navigate" the child-rearing process, Galinsky said. The USDA report includes an online calculator to help figure out costs.
Expensive Northeast
Expenses were highest for children raised in the urban Northeast, followed by cities in the West and Midwest, the USDA said. The urban South and rural areas were the least expensive. Housing accounts for the biggest portion of expenses, averaging 30 percent over 17 years, the USDA said. Child care and education costs at 18 percent and food, at 16 percent, are the next biggest costs. The estimates don't include college expenses.
The study, published each year since 1960, helps courts and government agencies estimate child-support costs, the USDA said. In the first study, housing accounted for 31 percent of the cost to raise a child, then estimated at $25,230 — the equivalent of $191,720 in 2011 dollars. Food was the second-biggest component, at 24 percent, with transportation at 16 percent, compared with 14 percent in 2011.
In 1960, health care was 4 percent of the cost of raising a child, half the 2011 level. Education and child care accounted for 2 percent of costs. Current data is based on census estimates.

Running Free Lyrics
Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: Iron Maiden
(Steve Harris/Paul Di'anno)
Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck.
I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go.
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free.
I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free.
Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail.
They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free.
Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop.
Now all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Empire | 03 Oct 2013 15:57 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, China, Iran, Iraq
The Cold War is over, the Great Game is done, and the US stands alone as the world's only remaining superpower. But to what end? And at what cost?
Nowhere are these questions more pressing or more immediate than in the Middle East, where the US' shifting roles as peace-broker or war-maker, naive do-gooder or diplomatic giant have bedevilled generations of American presidents.
In his recent speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Barack Obama, the US president, laid out the country's predicament in the Middle East with startling clarity, saying: "The United States is chastised for meddling in the region ... at the same time, the United States is blamed for failing to do enough to solve the region's problems."
So, what is the US to do? And how will the rest of the world respond?
These are just some of the questions Empire tries to answer.
Is the US, as many have suggested, a reluctant empire straddling a fine line between what it feels duty-bound to accomplish overseas and what its people at home really hope for? Is it a fading force for good, grasping for power in a world where other players, such as China, are rising quickly to replace it?
Or is it, like the British, Roman or Ottoman empires of the past, unscrupulously defending its economic interests in whatever way works best?
The debate about the US' ongoing role in the Middle East comes as the delicate balance of power in the region is shifting on an almost daily basis. A month ago, war between it and Syria seemed almost inevitable, whereas today there is hope for a diplomatic solution.
Just weeks ago, tensions between the US and Iran were as unchanged as they have been for decades. Yet, today, there are serious signs of a thaw. And every time there is a new terror attack, such as the one in Nairobi's Westgate mall, the US' perpetual war on al-Qaeda and its roots in the Middle East gets renewed.
In this ever-changing landscape, Empire asks how the US can, or whether it even should, continue to balance these many competing equations. In this episode, Empire travels to New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Beirut and London to delve into the issues with some of the world's leading thinkers on the history of empire, international relations and political theory.
In Washington, we speak to Stephen Hadley, a former national security adviser under George W. Bush and one of the architects of the 2003 American invasion of Iraq; Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former director of policy planning at the US state department; Mark Jacobson of the German Marshall Fund; and David Kilcullen, a former counterterrorism strategist at the US state department.
In New York, we discuss US strategy in the Middle East with Karen Greenberg, the director of the Center of National Security at Fordham University's School of Law, and Phyllis Bennis, the director of the New Internationalism Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.
Also joining us in the discussion are Hamid Dabashi, a leading Middle East scholar at Columbia University; the renowned Boston University academic Andrew Bacevich, whose writing about the decline of American empire has shaped a generation of new scholars, and Edward Luttwak, a military strategist and author of The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire.
Join them, and us, for a fascinating look into empire, as the US contemplates its future and its fate in the Middle East.

Humiliating innings & 94 run defeat for fancied UP
Ghaziabad: Railways team recorded one of their best victories in recent years when they thrashed a formidable Uttar Pradesh by an innings and 94 runs in an Elite Group A Ranji Trophy match at the Mohan Meakin ground on Thursday.
Asked to follow-on, UP managed a paltry 201 in their second innings. Pacers Krishna Kant Upadhyay (2/42) and Sanjay Bangar (2/39) cleaned up the top-order to set up the victory.
Once UP`s main batsman Mohammed Kaif (36) was removed by Upadhyay with a lovely outswinger as the former India player`s drive went to second slip at 93 for three, it was just a matter of time.
The writing was there on the wall and and veteran India Murali Kartik (5/27) polished the lower-order to ensure that Railways don`t have to come out to field on the final day.
There wasn`t much pressure when Kartik came on to bowl as he even tried a few chinaman stuff drifting away from his classical orthodox style.
After the first two rounds, Railways were facing the ignominy of relegation having lost by 10 wickets against Mumbai and innings defeat against Karnataka. Now with 10 points from five rounds, the railwaymen are eyeing a spot in the knock-out rounds.
For the UP team, it was complacency that became a big factor. They took the Railways team way too lightly and thus were blown away by their opposition who displayed a much more disciplined effort.
It will be an uphill task now for the UP team as they face the mighty Mumbai and heavyweights Karnataka in their last two matches.
Brief Scores: Railways 374.
Uttar Pradesh 79 & 201 (Prashant Gupta 41, Mohd Kaif 36, M Kartik 5/27). Railways won by an innings & 94 runs.
Points: Railways 6 UP 0.

Writer: Site Staff
Date:Sunday August 24 2014
Time: 8:06PM
Manager Paul Cox has said he was left deeply unhappy following our two nil loss to Dagenham and Redbridge yesterday.
A clearly unhappy Cox told the Official Site that simply put he didn't feel we ever got going in the game, and at full time there had been a 'good chat' in the dressing room to try and address that as ultimately he needs to find out the cause of our non show to make sure it never happens again.
'We just didn't arrive at the party. In all three sections, defence, midfield and attack, we were a million miles off the pace. No one is going to feel sorry for us, it was lacklustre.'
The gaffer goes on to say that we probably passed the ball around the back four more than we managed to pass it anywhere else on the pitch and clearly that isn't effective and be of any use when we are trying to get back into a game.
'We can talk about all the different facets of the game, but I just thought with the ball we weren't good enough, and without the ball we weren't good either.'
In the positive news from the match, the manager could at least acknowledge we had picked up no fresh injury concerns or knocks and niggles outside of our 'injured pride' on the day.

Poker pro takes a gamble on revitalizing Rock
The Toronto Rock are now owned by a professional poker player.

The Toronto Rock are now owned by a professional poker player.
The Rock announced yesterday that Oakville native Jamie Dawick has purchased the team. Dawick, who also owns a sports bar and is involved in building homes, has been in discussions to purchase the National Lacrosse League team for the past few months.
"The Toronto Rock is one of the cornerstone franchises of the National Lacrosse League," said Dawick in a statement released by the team. ``My goal is to restore the winning tradition of the Rock and ensure that it once again becomes one of the most competitive franchises in the league.''
Dawick, who is in his early 30s according to Rock head office staff, has taken part in several poker events, including last year's World Series of Poker tournament.
Last year the Rock finished last in the NLL's East Division with a 6-10 record, tied for the second-worst record in the 12-team league.
The NLL's board of governors approved the sale of the franchise last week.
Outgoing president Brad Watters, who will stay with the club during the transition, would not reveal the price tag, saying only that it was ``in the seven figures.''
The Rochester Knighthawks were purchased in 2008 for $5.6 million (U.S.) while other teams have sold for about $1 million.
Three weeks ago, Watters denied there was specific interest in someone buying the Toronto team.
Yesterday, his story was a bit different.
"We were approached," he said. "The original investors decided the time was right (to move on) and this was an opportunity for an exit strategy."
"He's a great guy, very passionate about the game and is the right person needed to take this team to the next step," said Watters.
The Rock also announced yesterday that former longtime GM and coach Terry Sanderson was returning to the team. Sanderson quit last month as assistant coach of the NLL champion Calgary Roughnecks. As GM and coach, Sanderson had a 30-16 over 2 1/2 seasons with the Rock, and led them to the 2005 NLL title.
Next week, the Rock are expected to confirm former Calgary coach Troy Cordingley will rejoin Sanderson in Toronto to coach the team.

BitTorrent Bundle could stop 'torrent' being such a dirty word
While "torrent" is now considered a word associated with digital theft online, that may be about to change thanks to BitTorrent Bundle.
Bundle was started as an Alpha project in May with the hopes of building a better distribution platform along with artists, labels and studios. The idea is to create a platform where the more media is shared, the more valuable it becomes. So far this test has seen remixes powered by people, reinvented mix tapes and even an education revolution. But how can this help artists?
BitTorrent Bundle for publishers, which is launching 24 September, aims to make torrenting less technical. So if you've recorded a song this will help you tap into the 170 million BitTorrent fans around the world.
It sounds a bit like MySpace for all forms of media. All the artist does is upload as much content as he likes then it's gated into a Bundle with its own custom landing page that can be shared with the world. So while it might not be monetising anything just yet it is acting as a platform to fame.
Sounds good to you? Sign up to the closed Alpha program.

Disney Announces Two New Pixar Projects
The announcement, which included a project directed by "Up's" Pete Docter and an untitled dinosaurs feature, came during the D23 convention in Anaheim on Saturday.
Pixar is deep in development of two new movies, including one directed by Oscar winner Pete Docter (Up).
The announcement came during Disney's D23 convention in Anaheim on Saturday. The confab, Disney's version of Comic-Con, draws Disney enthusiasts from around the world.
PHOTOS: Disney Generation's New Rising Stars
Pixar has had a remarkable box office and critical streak since its first full-length feature, 1995's Toy Story.
The new Pixar projects are untitled but they are original creations and will follow upcoming releases Brave and Monsters University, according to Disney/Pixar chief John Lasseter.
STORY: 'Avengers,' 'John Carter' and More on Disney's D23 Expo Agenda
In addition to Docter's project, the Untitled Pixar Movie about Dinosaurs will be directed by Pixar veteran Bob Peterson and produced by John Walker.
The movie is aiming for a holiday 2013 release. The story is set in a world where an asteroid didn't hit the Earth, thus allowing the creatures to keep living and evolving.
STORY: Disney Dates Two Marvel Projects for 2014
An image of concept art shown to the hall was of a small humanoid silhouette on top of the head of a brachiosaurus.
Peterson said he was inspired by a World's Fair he attended as a child where he saw animatronic dinos created by Disney.
Docter's project is the Untitled Pixar Movie that You See Inside the Brain, which is being produced by Jonas Rivera.
STORY: Pixar's Highs and Lows of the Past 25 Years
It's eyeing a summer 2014 release and is in the early stages of work. Docter said the story will take the audience inside the head, "how we forget, why certain songs get stuck in our heads."
"It's a place that we've all been to but have never seen," he said.
Pixar also offered exclusive footage of next summer's Brave and concept art for Monsters University, the sequel to Monsters Inc. Executives trotted out voice actors Kelly Macdonald and Kevin McKidd for the former and Billy Crystal for the latter. (Crystal received a standing ovation when he came out.)
STORY: 'Cars' Copyright Lawsuit Dismissed in Win for Disney
Lassetter also showed off a Cars spin-off titled Planes, revealing that Jon Cryer is voicing a crop duster with a lot of courage named Dusty. The feature is from the DisneyToon Studios label.
Klay Hall (The Simpsons) is directing.
Lasseter also previewed a toon called Wreck It Ralph, unveiling a voice cast that includes John C Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Sarah Silverman.
Silverman, known for her ribald comedy, kept it family-friendly for the Disney crowd, but still generated plenty of laughs. "I've always wanted to come to Anaheim and not go to Disneyland," she said.
Lasseter and Disney Studios head Rich Ross ended the animated portion of the presentation by bringing out many of the creators at Pixar, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. As confetti rained down, they announced, "Cupcakes for everyone!" Dozens of staffers then began distributing baked goodies to those packed into the 2,500-person venue at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Recent USVI/St. Thomas reviews
"Recently returned from a stay here and had an amazing time. The views from the unit's balconies were incredible, probably the best of anywhere I've vacationed! So nice to wake up, make a coffee, and stroll outside to nab a good beach spot. The unit was very clean and had nicely updated bathrooms and kitchen. The condo also came equipped with every kitchen appliance you could need, as well as beach noodles, chairs, snorkeling gear, you name it! Also, the condo is in a great spot...it was a quick 3 minute drive or taxi to several bars, restaurants, and shops. The beach itself was beautiful and never got too crowded, which I loved. We got to see a ton of tropical fish just swimming a bit from the beach. This quiet beach was a nice change from my last beach trip to the DR, where I had vendors approaching me all day. Also, security staff could be seen walking around and keeping an eye on things, which I appreciated. The 2-level pool had awesome views as well. I'd definitely come back here!"Guest: Denise Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"This was my wife and my third time to St Thomas, and this condo was one of the best places we've stayed. It has a beautiful wrap around deck, which we wound up spending many morning and evenings on. The bed was fantastic, and being able to cook a nice dinner in the kitchen was great! Location is prime as you can more or less walk to coki beach, and red hook is just short ride away for ferry service to the other islands, and some late night revelry. Point pleasant is also nicely laid out as the condo feels quite private despite the other units, there are also three different pools to chose from if one is too crowded (though we never experienced a crowded pool area)."Guest: James D. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 7, 2015View listing
"This house had it all. The views were spectacular! We would wake up every morning and congregate on the front porch (or by the pool) with our coffee to greet the day. We would peer at the cruise ships coming in, watch the various birds and even was graced with the presence of a double rainbow one morning. The house was fully stocked and supported the needs of six active adults. When we went to the store we did not have to worry about buying many staples, since they were already there. We did a lot of cooking at the house and had what we needed. The pool, the outdoor shower and the grounds in general were added bonuses. We spent a whole day just lounging at the house floating in the pool, cooking on the grill and wandering around looking at the beautiful landscape. The property manager, Leah, was a dream to work with. She made everything so easy and convenient for us. We had a rental car issue with one of our travelers and she got a car for us then delivered it to the house. When it was time to return the car she worked with our schedule for us to return it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would highly recommend this property for its location (very convenient to town and the east end), the views, the privacy, the lush grounds, and the ease in organizing the rental of this place. We would stay here again in a heartbeat."Guest: Mariya Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: January 10, 2015View listing
"I just returned from a 30-day rental here during the month of June. I can't say enough good things about the location, the condo, and the helpfulness of the owner (Tom). But I will try! LOCATION I did a lot of research to find the perfect place for a month-long working vacation on the east end of St. Thomas. I considered Point Pleasant, then Sapphire Beach, and finally, luckily, landed on Sapphire Village. Sapphire Village was great. We walked 3 minutes to a really beautiful beach with great sand and very clear, blue water. 30 seconds away is the Sapphire Grill which has pretty good food and drinks and is a great way to chat with other residents. Each day we would walk 15 minutes down the hill to Red Hook to catch one of many ferries, go food shopping at a high-quality grocery store, or get a happy hour cocktail or dinner. We would usually take the $1 'Safari' shared taxi trucks back up the hill, or after dark when the walk is too dangerous without lights/shoulders. Other things we did easily from the condo were: the airport, 'town' (Charlotte Amalie), Smith Bay Beach (aka Lindquist) and Coki Beach for snorkeling, and the Rotz-Carlton for a great dinner/view. CONDO The condo itself is very comfortable for short & long stays. I worked there for a month and really appreciated the space, the large balcony, and the view. Tom has performed a great remodel of the kitchen and bathroom versus the other units I looked at. Both are nicely updated. The condo was well-stocked and prepared for our visit, with plenty of silverware, cookware, cleaning supplies, and even left over booze from past guests. Whoever gets the place after me will benefit from a bottle of good tequila :) Plus, the condo has two powerful AC units which can be nice when the nights get a little stuffy. The balcony view is the highlight. You can see more than 10 different islands in both the USVI and BVI, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and lots of activity at the marina. OWNER Tom was fantastic from start to finish. He even went out of his way to upgrade his Internet speed when I told him how important it was to my remote work. On that note, I got great speeds versus the other units I contacted (18 meg download speed). Tom also gave me advice on places to eat and even the dive center to use (Red Hook Dive Center – great!). During my vacation, Tom would often answer my questions within an hour—amazing! He went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed the condo and St. Thomas."Guest: Ken Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 6, 2015View listing
