Having a ball! Chrissy Teigen flaunts her toned tummy in a lacy crop top as she plays around with her fellow Sports Illustrated models at the Encore Beach Club
When she's not modelling the latest in swimwear she's in the kitchen testing recipes for her popular food blog.
And in spite of her gourmet tastes Chrissy Teigen showed off her incredible figure as joined Sports Illustrated models Nina Agdal, Alyssa Miller and Kate Bock at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas on Friday.
She has it all: Chrissy Teigen showed off her fit figure as she stood high above the crowds at the Summer of Swim celebration at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas on Friday
The fierce foursome were in town for the Summer of Swim celebration, marking the start of the season with DJs from last weekend's Electric Daisy Carnival music festival.
Chrissy, the fiancé of singer and songwriter John Legend, let her natural beauty shine through wearing minimal make up on her complexion and her hair styled in loose side braid.
The 27-year-old showed off her toned stomach as the girls playfully posed with a beach ball high above the pool -- at one point losing control of the inflatable as Chrissy took at swipe at it.
Who needs a beach to have a ball? Chrissy was joined by fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models Alyssa Miller, Kate Bock and Nina Agdal
Just having fun: Chrissy and Kate eagerly tossed the inflatable around
Dressed in a white crop top adorned with pom-poms and barely-there denim shorts, Chrissy looked more than ready to dip into the pool below.
The bikini model is often seen in next to nothing, posing in Sports Illustrated's famed Swimsuit Issue four years in a row, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
And when she's not gracing the cover of magazines she's the author of food blog www.sodelushious.com.
Loving Las Vegas: Kate blew kisses at the ball before the girls joined the party downstairs
By her lonesome: Nina Agdal attended the event without her beau Adam Levine
'I can't eat whatever I want all the time, but I don't deny myself either,' Chrissy explained in the latest issue of Vegas Magazine. 'I'll have a great meal and then say to myself that I can't eat like that tomorrow.'
The brunette beauty is the also the host of reality show Model Employee and recalled how she 'started crying like a baby' when she was told the job was hers in the latest issue.
'It was embarrassing, but I was so happy,' she admitted. 'I had been waiting for an opportunity like this.'
Wild weekend: The foursome are in town as the city heats up for the Electric Daisy Carnival music festival
Leggy ladies: Being a pool party it was natural for the ladies to parade their pins
Bikini babes: The girls have all graced the pages of the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
On top of everything else she has going on, Chrissy is in the midst of planning her nuptials with John.
And only the best will do for the model when it comes to her wedding dress, which means only one thing – Vera Wang.
'There's just something about her wedding dresses. You try on a lot of others, and then you put on one of hers and there's just no comparison,' Chrissy gushed.
Taking a spin: They also showed off their music abilities as they made their way behind the DJ booth
Muti-talented: 'I'm the new resident DJ,' Chrissy tweeted
She's also an outspoken presence on Twitter with no qualms about sharing her thoughts to her over 260,000 followers.
Earlier this year, she blasted former Teen Mom Farrah Abraham for being photographed buying a pregnancy test after selling her sex tape with porn star James Deen.
'Farrah abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. in other news you're a whore and everyone hates you whoops not other news sorry,' Chrissy posted.
Fun out of the sun: The girls sought refuge in a cabana as the temperatures soared
Break: They watched a slideshow of swimsuit models on a TV inside the cabana
Recently she was the target of an Amanda Bynes twitterstorm with the blonde actress calling the swimsuit model 'old' and 'ugly.'
Chrissy then posted a tweet in which she said it was 'unsettling' that Bynes had any 'support' to retweet her recent bizarre rants.
She followed up with another tweet
that read: 'Support people with mental illness, yes. But don't
condone/enable scary and poor behaviour.'
27, responded by saying that Teigen was 'not a pretty model compared to
me' and claimed she was 'far prettier' than the Sports Illustrated
Teigen later took the high road: 'Nope. Not going to indulge. Wish the best for her, truly.'

Rachel Dratch: Not Hot Enough?
The SNL Alum on Why She Got Dropped from 30 Rock-and the Joys of Motherhood
Does she ever. A hit on SNL (remember Debbie Downer?), she was "face-planted" when press reports said she lost a role on 30 Rock because of her unglamorous looks. Even worse, she couldn't find other work. In an excerpt from her memoir, she opens up about those rough days and about finding romance and motherhood in the midst of them. She hopes her book will inspire other women. "The unexpected," she tells PEOPLE's Lesley Messer, "can happen!"
"Hey, I know you," said the stranger. "I miss seeing you on TV. What happened to you?"
How to answer this... What happened to me? Where have I been since you last saw me on TV? Some people think if they see you on reruns, that means you're working. No. You are sitting in your apartment watching Judge Mathis. That's what you are doing.
Don't get me wrong. My agent still calls with offers. But pretty much the only parts I'm offered since I've been off SNL are for women much older than I am. Usually 100-200 pounds more than I am. The Unf...ables.
In reality, if you saw me walking down the street, you wouldn't point at me and recoil and throw up and hide behind a shrub. But by Hollywood standards, I'm a troll, ogre, or woodland creature.
I was a cast member on Saturday Night Live for seven years. Then I was going to be in a new show called 30 Rock in the role of Jenna. Have you seen 30 Rock? Yeah.... I'm not Jenna.
After we shot the pilot, I got a call from my agent. "They're going in a different direction." Tina [Fey] said that, instead of playing Jenna, I would appear in various episodes as a different character each time, popping up in all sorts of incarnations. I felt way more comfortable doing that than playing Jenna, a diva type who, in the pilot, sort of tries to seduce Alec Baldwin. No one needs to see me try to seduce.
And then this story became public. News stories speculated that I had been replaced by a more attractive actor, Jane Krakowski, and that this was the only reason I'd been replaced. I started to feel like years of training and performing went out the window because I didn't have a symmetrical face. This would have been OK if I'd gotten the memo: "Oh, and if you want to be a successful female comedian, you better have a symmetrical face."
I grew up watching perfectly lovely female performers whom I don't think anyone would call "hotties": Gilda Radner, Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett. When did the rules change?
She played bit parts in early 30 Rock episodes, but as the show evolved, her characters were phased out.
A year passed, then two, then three. I took Spanish class. I dog-sat. And then I took on the biggest challenge of my life: I tried dating in New York.
It was no picnic, but her luck changed in 2009 when she met John Wahl, a California-based consultant to natural food businesses, in a bar. They began dating long-distance.
Around the New Year in 2010, I was having a wicked case of PMS that I couldn't shake. It occurred to me: I'm going through menopause.
Instead, at 43, she was pregnant. Eli was born on Aug. 24, and John moved to New York City to be a dad.
The big slowdown of my career, which had felt like such a curse, actually felt quite fortunate now. "See that, Hollywood? Mwah hah hah! I'm the winner here! I get to stay home and not miss a moment!" Having a baby in your life is pretty wonderful.
I know new moms aren't supposed to be thinking about how they look, but I still had one foot in an odd courtship phase. Once I stumbled out of the bedroom, hair unkempt, naked except for a nursing pillow around my waist. I looked like a feral child. John and I met eyes and I went on my way, back into the woods. It's not easy keeping any mystique alive.
Though he denies it, sometimes I feel John would rather be with a woman who shops at Talbot's and wears a headband and pearls and always has aspirin on hand in her fresh, square Coach bag. Looks like the Casting Directors on high ended up going in a Different Direction.

At first controlling a 7 segment display seems quite complex but it quickly becomes clear.
What follows is a quick guide to control a 7 segment display with a arduino board
If you want to jump ahead to any other part here's your chance:
Step 1 - What Is A Seven Segment Display?
Step 2 - Parts & Tools
Step 3 - Testing
Step 4 - Built The Circuit
Step 5 - Project 1- One Digit Count Down Timer
Step 6 - Multiplexing
Step 7 - Project 2 - Two Digit Count Down Timer
This instructable is a entry in the arduino contest so if you like it please vote.
Step 1: What Is A Seven Segment Display?
Step 2: Parts & Tools
~ 2 x Seven Segment Display (Common Cathode)- Red,Blue
~ 1 x 330 ohm resistor - Sparkfun.com
~ Arduino Uno(Or equivalent) - Sparkfun.com
~ Breadboard - Sparkfun.com
~ Some jumper wires - Sparkfun.com
~ The arduino programming Environment - Arduino.cc
~ USB Cable A-B - Sparkfun.com
~ Soldering Iron - Sparkfun.com
~ Solder Wire - Leaded or Lead Free
The total cost should be about 8.10 $ assuming that you have a arduino,breadboard and all the tools
Step 3: Testing The Display
Consult the datasheet of your display for the PIN-OUT and other specs
Wire up your display for testing
~Plug the display into your breadboard
~Connect the two common cathodes together and attach a resistor to them
~Connect the common cathode resistor to the -5v
~Test each segment by connecting its pin to +5v
~Experiment and try to make different numbers by lighting one or more segments at the same time
Step 4: Built The Circuit
The circuit is pretty straight forward connect the common cathode's to gnd with a 330 ohm current limiting resistor. Connect the seven segment displays pin number 7(A) to arduino pin2 , 6(B) to arduino pin3 , 4 (C) to arduino pin 4 , 2 (D) to arduino pin5 , 1 (E) to arduino pin6 , 9 (F) to arduino pin7 , 10 (G) to arduino pin8 , 5 (DP) to arduino pin9.For the 2nd project first make the multiplexing circuit below and then follow these connections pattern.Segment A to pin 7, Segment B to pin 8, Segment C to pin 4, Segment D to pin 3, Segment E to pin 2, Segment F to pin 6, Segment G to pin 5, Gnd1 via resistor to pin 11, Gnd2 via resistor to pin 9.
I have also included the fritzing digram(The worst you can get as I am not good at making circuit diagrams) for the multiplexed circuit and the simple circuit and pinout of the seven segment display .
Step 5: Project 1- One Digit Count Down Timer
The first project we are going to do is one digit count down timer.This project will count down from nine to zero.This project does not use any multiplexing but the project 2 includes multiplexing.The circuit digram can be found on step four.
To get started and get playing with this just follow the following these simple steps.
~ Copy or download the code below and paste it in an empty arduino sketch
~ Compile the sketch and upload it to your board. If any problem occurs feel free to ask
~ And now enjoy your count down timer.
~ I have included two files the first one is a compact verson of the code and the second one is the longer more longer one but is really easy to understand.
Here is a short video of it in action:
Step 6: Multiplexing
A multiplexed display has several advantages compared to a non-multiplexed display:
~Fewer wires (often, far fewer wires) are needed
~Simpler driving electronics can be used
~And both lead to reduced cost
~Reduced power consumption
For information please refer to this page
Step 7: Project 2 - Two Digit Count Down Timer
To get started and get playing with the count down timer just follow these simple steps:
~ Copy or download the code below and paste it in an empty arduino sketch
~ Compile the sketch and upload it to your board. If any problem occurs feel free to ask
~ And now enjoy your count down timer.
Here is a short video of it in action:
Step 8: Final Thoughts
I have lots of plans for the displays.If you make something innovative please post some pictures or E-mail me at email@example.com.
{ { 1,1,1,1,1,1,0 }, // = 0
{ 0,1,1,0,0,0,0 }, // = 1
{ 1,1,0,1,1,0,1 }, // = 2
{ 1,1,1,1,0,0,1 }, // = 3
{ 0,1,1,0,0,1,1 }, // = 4
{ 1,0,1,1,0,1,1 }, // = 5
{ 1,0,1,1,1,1,1 }, // = 6
{ 1,1,1,0,0,0,0 }, // = 7
{ 1,1,1,1,1,1,1 }, // = 8
{ 1,1,1,0,0,1,1 } // = 9
these are binary codes to activate lines. o means we have to activate a,b,c,d,e,f so 1,1,1,1,1,1 and g is 0..
how is that working can u tell pleas
its the binary relevant to the seven segment, each 1 turning on a line of the seven seg.
I wired up and programmed a 7segment display based on this tutorial. It works like a charm, I have it mapped to the analog readings from a potentiometer.
Note: don't wire any of the segments to pins 0 and 1. The "TX" and "RX" leds are wired to these and light up when the arduino is connected to USB.
can someone please email me the code in arduino ide format as I can't seem to make this code work
I need to connect it to 4 PIR motion sensors...designated as 1 2 3 & 4...and output to be displayed accordingly...
how to write the code? please help...
what are the changes need to do when you are using common anode seven segment display instead of common cathode seven segment display.hint:using transistors
hallo i want to ask, how to change the coding to up counter? can anyone help please.. urgent
Check here i made post
Hello all, I need circuit diagram of 2 digit seven segment display.
I think its a common anode one...
Could you please add a detailed tut on testing these?
@m1s73r All you do is change the the wiring, from Arduino 5V to the anode pins on display and then the pins that are connected to the arduino for anode connects in this guys tutorial become the Cathodes or outputs. You wire no ground. Nothing else changes in wiring. So in the code just change the 1's to 0's. SO short Change the Gnd on this guys tutorial to 5v on arduino and then wire the rest output wires and a few simple code tweeks and done
Its nice to see someone else my age interested in electronics, even better if they are from india :D

Associated Press
BAMAKO, Mali — Suspected Islamic militants set off explosions at two bridges in northern Mali, residents said Tuesday, as violence escalated in the region following months of relative calm after the jihadists were ousted by a French-led military intervention.
The dynamite attacks on the bridges came hours after other suspected militants fired mortar rounds on the city of Gao, wounding at least seven people in the first significant assault inside the town since late March.
The renewed unrest has alarmed residents as the French military prepares to drawn down its presence in Mali and as discontent with the Malian military's efforts grows.
Gao resident Ousmane Maiga said that two bridges were attacked along the road from Niger's border to Gao, the most populous town in the region and the base of the French military's operation in its former colony.
Olivier Salgado, spokesman for the United Nations peacekeeping mission known as MINUSMA, confirmed the attacks on bridges both near the town of Ansongo. The first bridge was near the Niger border about 120 miles (200 kilometers) from Gao, while the second was located in a village about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Gao.
"Around 6 p.m. Monday, the Bendja bridge near Ansongo was damaged by an explosion but traffic by vehicles is still possible," he said. "A demining team escorted by MINUSMA forces is on the scene."
The extent of damage at the second bridge in the village of Bara was not immediately known, he said.
Col. Gilles Jaron, spokesman for the French military in Paris, said French forces were not in the zone hit by Tuesday's strikes on the bridges, and they were consulting with MINUSMA to try to obtain details.
Back in January, the radical militants also blew up another bridge near the border with Niger in an effort to slow military convoys and supplies arriving over land from the neighboring country to aid the French-led mission.
Gao fell under the control of al-Qaida-linked militants for nine months after they seized power in the wake of a March 2012 coup in Mali's capital. MUJAO, or the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, established its radical interpretation of Islamic law known as Shariah. Soon public amputations were taking place, and women were forbidden from going in public without being veiled.
The French-led military operation launched in mid-January ultimately forced MUJAO from Gao, though remnants of the rebel group remain cloistered in surrounding villages. The group claimed responsibility for a series of dramatic attacks on the town in February and March, including suicide bombings.
Last month in Bamako, French President Francois Hollande slightly extended France's timetable for a drawdown to 1,000 troops: Instead of the end of this year, France is now targeting the end of January 2014.

Fadi Merza (born 8 March 1978 in Derbassiah, Syria) is an Syrian-Austrian middleweight kickboxer. Merza is a multiple world kickboxing and Muay Thai champion. A veteran of the sport with over 150 fights, he is known for his willingness to face any opponent in any country.[1]
Biography and career[edit]
Early years[edit]
Fadi Merza was born in Derbassiah, Syria to an Assyrian/Syriac family. Fadi was ten years old, when he and his family left his native Syria and moved to Vienna. "My parents just wanted to provide us a secure future. Within just six months, I had mastered the German language", said Merza in a 2012 interview. At the age of 16, Fadi started training kickboxing. After fighting as an amateur in the kickboxing circuit, he switched to Muay Thai. He was awarded his first title at age 18, when he won the WPKL Junior World Super Welterweight Championship during an event near Vienna, Austria on November 15, 1997.
Having become a youth champion, Merza was given the chance in 2000 to fight for the World Muay Thai Middleweight Championship of the World Professional Kickboxing Council (WPKC), one of the minor sanctioning organizations in the world. Fadi decisioned his opponent to win his second World title. In May 2001, the European Thaiboxing Championship of the more prestigious WKA was at stake. He faced off against the routined Brit Eugene Valerio at the first Vienna Fight Night. Valerio was troubled by Fadi's accurate knee strikes, suffering a cut above his eye. A well placed kick to the midsection finally proved to be the Brit's downfall, by breaking his forearm. Fadi won via TKO in the second round.
A year later, again in Vienna, Fadi challenged Mohammed Ouali for the vacant WKA Thaiboxing World Middleweight title. The fight went to the distance after five grueling rounds. In front of his hometown crowd Fadi lost a close decision. Despite his defeat he was signed by Austrian businessmen Marcus Bauer for his kickboxing organization SuperLeague.
Fighting for SuperLeague[edit]
Merza made his debut in SuperLeague at the kick off show in Vienna in May 2003. Fadi showed a dominant performance against Takahiko Shimizu from Japan. At his second SuperLeague appearance, in Wuppertal, Germany, he faced off against another Japanese fighter, Akeomi Nitta. Fadi dominated the first two rounds, but the fight soon turned into a tough battle. After five hard rounds, Merza got a decision victory.
In January 2004, Merza challenged Kamal El Amrani for his IKBO World Middleweight Championship belt. In front of a sold-out crowd, again going to distance in a spectacular fight, Fadi lost a close decision against his well known Moroccan adversary. Fadi Merza claimed the number three spot in the official SuperLeague middleweight rankings with victories over Peter Crook, Jose Reis, Petr Polak and Malaipet Sasiprapa and losing only his fights against Ole Laursen, Sahin Yakut and John Wayne Parr. Ending his successful SuperLeague career, Fadi faced Alviar Lima for the vacant SuperLeague Middleweight belt, losing a close decision. His fight against Lima is still considered by many fight fans as the best bout in SuperLeague history.
King's Cup participation[edit]
Merza was able to return to the winner's column in impressive fashion by knocking out Ümüt Demirörüs and Rico Recineu, in one night to win the King's Cup qualifier tournament in Switzerland in September 2009. Fadi earned himself a spot in the King's Cup, the most prestigious and biggest Muay Thai tournament in the world, which is held once a year in Bangkok, Thailand. Cheered on by over 150,000 spectators, Merza defeated his quarter final opponent, Enriko Kehl from Germany. Kehl hit the canvas twice, after being hit with hard elbows and knees, giving Merza the well deserved decision victory. Unfortunately, Fadi had to withdraw from the tournament due to a ruptured ear drum, as well as a cut over his right eye, forcing the ring-side doctor to not give his consent for another fight.
World title success[edit]
After fighting for SuperLeague, Merza had regular appearances in international promotions all over the world. Merza was given the chance to fight for a world title again on February 7, 2010, taking on Luca D'Isanto for the ISKA Oriental Light Middleweight Championship. Staged at the Wiener Stadium in the centre of Vienna, Merza hurt Di Santo in the first round with a knee to the head. The Italian took an eight count but wasn't ready to give up. Merza had to earn the title winning a clear unanimous decision. Before the year was done, he added one more world title to his mantlepiece, outpointing Bachir Maroun in Munich, Germany on August 25, 2010 to take the WKA K-1 rules World Super Welterweight belt.
On January 22, 2011, Fadi faced Joakim Karlsson in Vienna, Austria. A rematch as Karlsson defeated him in their first encounter. He decisioned the Swede over five rounds for the WKA K-1 rules World Middleweight title. Merza made an impressive six successful title defenses during his reign as champion. For his first defense, he chose to fight Dan Balsemao from Portugal in a rematch. Balsemao had performed well in their first encounter, winning the fight on points. However, this time Merza bested the Potugese over five rounds to defend the belt.
Fadi's next title defense pitted him against Darko Delic. The kickboxer from Bosnia and Herzegovina was not regarded as a top contender and it took Merza only two rounds to end the fight. His next defense was against a much tougher opponent. In September 2012, he faced the highly regarded Dane Mohammed El Mir. Merza proved that he still belonged on the world stage when he defeated El Mir on points. In his sixth defense, Fadi was challenged by Jason Woodham, a WMC MAD champion from England. Merza dominated the fight from start to finish. In the first round, the Brit went to the canvas. Clearly not having recovered, Manhood went down again in the second round after a two right hooks and a left jab combination. The referee intervened and stopped the fight.
On May 4, 2012, Merza eventually lost his WKA K-1 rules World Middleweight title in his seventh title defense. After five rounds, almost everyone at ringside saw it as a draw. However, the fight went in favor of Fadi's opponent Fernando Calzetta, who was awarded a points win.
Personal life[edit]
Fadi Merza is married to his long time girlfriend Ines. He works as a translator for the Austrian Ministry of Interior, handling the translation to and from the Arabic language.

Latest DRC Fact Sheet
Democratic Republic of the Congo Map - 07-21-2015 (pdf - 803k)
Key Developments
On June 26, UN Secretary-General (SYG) Ban Ki-moon submitted a report to the UN Security Council on the status of the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the situation in the country since March 10. In the report, SYG Ban highlighted deteriorating humanitarian conditions in several areas of eastern DRC and a marked increase in killings, kidnappings, and sexual violence. The report noted that insecurity has limited humanitarian access and hampered protection efforts.
Political violence in Burundi since April has forced thousands of Burundians to flee to neighboring countries, including the DRC. As of July 16, nearly 13,400 Burundians were seeking refuge in DRC, with the majority residing in South Kivu Province. At least 7,000 refugees are sheltering at a UNHCR- and Government of DRC-established camp near Lusenda town, Fizi Territory; however, thousands of others continue to reside with host families or at other temporary sites.
Since the implementation of a peace agreement in 2003, fighting between forces loyal to the Kinshasa government and various armed groups, including the Allied Democratic Forces–National Army for the Liberation of Uganda, Mai-Mai militants, the National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP), M23, and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), has contributed to high levels of insecurity and population displacement in eastern DRC.
The recently established U.N. Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) Intervention Brigade supported the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) in its successful operations against M23, which was defeated and withdrew from areas of operation in October 2013. FARDC and MONSUCO are reportedly refocusing attention toward other armed groups operating in eastern DRC.
Violence, restricted humanitarian access, poor infrastructure, forced recruitment into armed groups, and reduced access to agricultural land and traditional markets have contributed to the deterioration of humanitarian conditions in DRC and triggered mass internal displacement and refugee outflows.

This year's Art Director Club's Call for Entries poster addresses the turbulence of our era and where we seem to be heading, as well as the desire by those in the industry to win a Cube. "The ADC Cube is the award that every creative wants to win at least once before they die," says TBWAChiatDay co-creative director Ian Reichenthal, who guided the effort along with co-CD Scott Vitrone. "And the clock is ticking."
"There were lots of disasters and apocalyptic trends that deserved mentioning," Reichenthal adds, "but we scaled it down to our favorite 20 or so. Our choices were based on which ones lent themselves to being illustrated in an interesting way."
The TBWAChiatDay creative team that worked on the assignment reports that, as they researched the history of Armageddon, they turned to medieval woodcuts for inspiration and received a "sign" that they were pointed in the right direction. "In one we saw what looked like the Art Directors Club logo," explains art director Matt Sorrell. "We thought, is this a message?" (Actually, the original logo of the Art Directors Club was inspired by Albrecht Dürer's signature initials. A German Renaissance artist, Dürer is known for his engravings, particularly his Apocalypse series, which dates to the late 1400s. )

|Polar Bear 24 pack Cooler
|Thursday, 21 April 2011 07:26
by, Chris Parson
Polar Bear sent us their "24 pack" size for testing and it's a perfect fit for your tank well. This model is designed to keep items warm or cold depending on your chosen cooler cargo. It's very light and does everything it claims to do (and then some). This cooler is also available in 12 pack, 24 pack, 48 pack, and backpack sizes.
We gave this cooler a thorough testing during our recent trip to the Susquehanna Flats. I froze (4) 16oz water bottles and loaded them into the cooler with 6 dozen Sand Worms to feed the hungry Stripers via my Tube-N-Worm rig. (um, got skunked :( )
I'm happy to report that after 4 days of this cooler being in a hot truck and Dillon carrying them for everyone as he was our "bait barge", the Sand Worms and the Ice were in the same condition as the day we headed south!
I'm confident that Polar Bear has a winning product here. Lightweight, easy to clean and easy to store as it has a soft shell, not the typical box we are accustomed to lugging around. This thing works, and works well!
At right, Dillon and Johnny Wheels. Dillonwas kind enough to be the bait barge for all of us this day.
"The Polar Bear cooler is the cooler you keep. Built for the outdoor enthusiast, our quality product will be there for you when you need it. Nothing keeps cool like a Polar Bear! The Polar Bear will keep ice for 24 hours in 100 degree heat and will keep hot up to 200 degree for many hours.
Exceptional quality inside and out. The Polar Bear's leak proof / sweat proof design is tough, rugged and built to last. The heavy-duty outer shell is comprised of 1000 denier Cordura nylon and high-density open cell foam. The PBC will not mold or mildew and is washable in soap and water.

Breakfast was okay.
Pitiful television. Dirty toilets and showers. Old AC/heater window unit.
Clean & comfortable
Everything. The breakfast, the rooms, the cleanliness of the hotel were all great. The staff was friendly. I was in town for a basketball tournament and everything was wonderful.
The cleaning lady forgot to make our beds the first night and then the second night only made one of the beds. There were also lots of people hanging out in the parking lot of the hotel at night.
Their gym consist of broken equipment and no weights.
Location was easy to find off of I75N
What appeared to be a teenagers running the office.
was suitable for what needed and was clean and didn't smell like smoke, that's a plus
Waffles for breakfast!
Conveniently located off the highway.
Dated decor, bathroom floor was dirty. Beds very old.
Friendly service
I thought the hair dryer was going to catch fire. I was afraid to use it the whole time.
Exceptional 2 star hotel!!! Room was clean & well furnished. Bed & pillows were comfortable. Direct TV, fast wifi, breakfast offered sausage, eggs, gravy, biscuits, waffles, bagels, muffins, cereal, coffee, juice, fruit & yogurt. What's to complain about?
Not much to like about it. Maybe a -2 star motel pretty disappointed in the deal. Not sure if I'll do this again. H
Pretty much everything
Hotel was not clean
It smelt bad bed where old sheets where dirty and is not worth the money
My wife left laptop in the room (!!!). The manager left two messages on our home VM, with appropriate empathy, to let us know. Next door gas station allowed easy purchase of ice for cooler. Fridge & microwave in room a plus.
'breakfast' was cookies, juice, coffee in office waiting room (as expected though). Manager often not available (back in 5 min sign overused). Toilet paper almost empty on check-in.
It was inexpensive, clean and close to where I needed to be.
This hotel was purely functional for me, my only complaint would be the doors aren't inside. They are secure but anyone can come and knock on the door.
The room was ok.
Multiple drug addicts hanging around the pool, back and forth waiting for a drop off. They didn't much try and hide it and it was very obvious. We left.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They refurred us to an awsome beach and a good place 2 eat.
The tub was extremely slippery n I almost fell while showering.
Close to the interstate.
Room was dirty. The light in the bathroom was broken. Power outlets were hanging out of the wall and broken. Fridge was unplugged and not functional. My nonsmoking room smelled like an ashtray. Hotel staff were obnoxious. I am frequently im this area but I will never stay here again.
Very friendly staff, room was thoroughly cleaned everyday. Beds were comfortable.
Clean, quiet comfortable. That's all I ask in a budget motel.

Bollywood Fashion- May 2012, Week 1: Featuring Bipasha Basu, Malaika Arora And Others
1. Bipasha Basu: Bipasha Basu announced the IIFA Awards 2012 wearing a white Anamika Khanna sari, with silver and red border. Her royal blue corset blouse complemented the drape to the T and she rounded up her look with her hair tied into a bun, apt make-up and jewels from Amrapali. 2. Rani Mukerji: It was a Sabyasachi for Rani Mukerji at the Lonely Planets Awards. She wore the suit really well and thankfully didn't hide the embroidery on the attire with the 'dupatta'. Rani kept it simple with almost no jewellery, a small bindi and loose hair. 3. Kangana: Now this girl is surely upping her fashion game with her every appearance. Kangana Ranaut slipped into a beautiful pink Christian Dior dress, for the Provogue bash. She kept her make-up and accessories to a bare minimum and rounded up the look with nude sling backs. 4. Chitrangada: To unveil the latest edition of Vogue Chitragada Singh walked in wearing a lime green Rajat Tangri dress. Though we loved the freshness of the colour, the fit of the dress marred it for us. Adding pink shoes was a wise decision as the pop of the colour elevates the look further. Her blow dried, hair and sun kissed skin made her look beautiful. 5. Urmila: And the one designer Urmila Matondkar has been favouring a lot these days is Anita Dongre. Matondkar was spotted in three dresses by the designer and that too back to back. The voluminous black and white dress that she chose to wear at the 'I Am' success bash didn't flatter her petite frame at ...

*In the first 90 minutes after news of President Obama's support of gay marriage Wednesday, his campaign banked $1 million in spontaneous contributions, according to BuzzFeed.
"This is beyond unifying — it's electrifying," said Eugene Sepulveda, a former fundraiser for Obama who withdrew to take a non-political job early this year. "This man stands for right, despite the political consequences."
Jeff Soref, a longtime Democratic activist in the gay community, told BuzzFeed: "I think the people who were disappointed by the president's failure to support marriage quality will now have that barrier removed for them."
Indeed, top gay donors have been using their expensive access to bend Obama's ear on the issue for years. Some now feel that their specific pleas have been answered.
"There have been a lot of us urging him to do this for a very long time. I imagine he and Michele felt some pain for us after North Carolina yesterday," said another longtime gay Obama bundler. "There are more LGBT co-chairs across the country are raising more money than we've ever raised. And you'll see a lot more of that now," the bundler said.
Soref said that aside from energizing supporters, Obama's decision sharpens the choice for the general election.
"There is a contrast between the President and Mitt Romney, and this clarified the contrast, and that will help with fundraising," he said.
The Obama campaign sees the announcement and the contrast with Romney's position, as playing into the campaign's narrative of Obama as the forward-looking candidate and Romney as the one of the past.
