This is tonight's recappers thread for The Hour of Spin. We need you to document the outrageous lies and vertiginous spin of Krazy Keith. Supposedly Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann plans to correct one of his two lies perpetrated last Friday. Another demonstration of the Power and Influence of Olbermann Watch! Watch Oralmann if you dare, and do your recapping right here. Comments are open!
Wow, what an apology. "sorry for the typo. mindlessly parroting the propaganda? noooo, were glad we did that."-Olby at 8:26pm
Yeah it's still early, but I have a feeling that he isn't going to say anything about it, but apparently he's going to talk about BOR, so stay tuned.
Another example tonight of how Keithee is losing it.
He places Sean Hannity in the "Best Persons" segment but treats him as a "Worst Person".
he ties that lead to the worlds best fox attack but both also doubled for his apology for repeating a typo. It was a weak attempt at being clever in masking the apology in a fox attack.

well he did make the apology, albeit tongue in cheek. the "shiver me timbers.com" thing was just a way of saying I did it...but I don't regret it.
Dammit, I jumped the gun. Olby did apologize for the Murdoch quote... Sort of... Olby only apologized for the website seekingalpha originally getting the quote wrong.
"SeekingAlpha.com has yet to apologize for ITS mistake, so we will."
He blamed the website! He apologized FOR THEM, not for his own lack of journalistic due diligence.

Yeah Johnny, it was kind of cheesy on Keith's part. It was more like...too bad they got caught but I didn't do it, I just relayed what they said. He should've said that myself and my staff (and yes I know they are monitoring this so....*BEEP* you staff) screwed up and were lifting stuff from other sites, but NOOOO, bathtub murrow won't do that.

Damn Irish, who's shooting at you? Duck and cover dude. lol
Once you click Submit, wait a minute and your post will appear. Submitting comments here requires patience. That's a general tip for everyone here.
Bottom Line, Keith can't fess up and thus he is the King of Liars. KO knew what he did and was saying, he is too womanly of a coward to come out of the closet and admit on tv that he was wrong and by doing so his ratings would go further into the tank from what they are now. I hear re-runs of Andy Griffith show are beating KO in the ratings. It won't be much longer folks, say good bye keith and don't let the door hit ya on the way out. From one extremist to another, Keith, shut the hell up and leave this country NOW. You Keith Slobberman are a disgrace to the American Public. Your Socialistic slant is not what this country wants. Again, I tell you, SHUT THE HELL UP and leave, and take your boy toy Madcow with you.
He called them the "usually reliable SeekingAlpha.com"
then said he will rely in the future on "ShiverMeTimbers.com," and slammed Bill O'Reilly for picking on GE stock when he says News Corp. stock is down 66%.
I love how he criticized that Fox reporter for a half-assed apology and didn't apologize for reading propaganda, while KO did the same thing himself 20 minutes later.
Whatever. Here's the ratings for the Tuesday shows, in which KO once again got owned by O'Reilly
The apology went pretty much as I envisioned it a few days ago...blame the source, Kountdown was merely relaying the information, and throw in a pirate reference at the end.
The piece I didn't foresee was KO actually taking it upon himself to apologize on behalf of the website. How big of you Olbs.
In BPitW, two Fox personalities were named.
Sean Hannity. Blue blog source: Media Matters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200902100012
Manatee! [Ding!] "Sean Hannity only skims what he supposedly reads."
Then, "Best half-butted apology, Jon Scott of Fixed News [Ding!]." Blue blog source: Media Matters, again! It's Groundhog Day every day on OlbyPlanet. http://mediamatters.org/countyfair/200902110016?f=h_top
Thanks to Johnny, here's video of Jon's apology this afternoon on "Happening Now": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JOd6KS7Zk
Monkeymann says Jon Scott "is a typo."
#2: That Media Matters Minute.
Worse was Brian Deer. Bingo! Right on the nose! HuffPo got it right...
...except for the last paragraph, which was edited to include a "half-butted" Olbypology for the "tolerates facts" lie of Friday and last night. And we mean "half-butted." What kind of apology features a snarky impression? Fat Ass emphasized the word "FAT" in "tolerates fat."
Worser was Another O'Reilly Attack! Billo the Clown! [Ding!] I couldn't find a blue blog source. It was from last night's Talking Points Memo titled "President Obama and financial corruption."
Jeffrey Immelt and GE are brought up with 2:12 left.
Here is the BillOReilly.com summary of that T-Points Memo: http://billoreilly.com/show?action=viewTVShow&showID=2261#1
When I saw this last night, I instantly knew it would be WPitW fodder. Right again. But keep in mind that this was a broader commentary on Americans' lack of trust in the stock market and how trust was lost.
But in Man on Fan's latest attack, he selfishly intoned that Mr. Bill's GE reportage is because of him. Who's obsessed with whom again? Gotcha!: News Corp down $4.6 billion! This is why I gave up watching video of this man. I'm going to save myself and close out of the "Countdown" webpage before I see anything else. I did catch another Billo [Ding!] and Fixed News [Ding!] before closing.
Worst was some Congressman, blah blah yada, no thanks.
Okay, I'll go back and at least check the preview. Worst was Steve Austria. Blue blog source: Mother Jones. http://www.motherjones.com/economy/2009/02/have-you-ever-heard-rep-steve-austria-r-oh
#1: Eric Cantor sent around a potty-mouth joke video. Oralmann and Margaret Carlson took turns slapping the House Minority Whip around.
#5: A blue dress interview with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). Time to update the list. I'm sure the Congresswoman breathed a huge sigh of relief before coming on. This is much better than talking to Alexis Glick at the evil Fox on "Your World" four hours earlier, she must have thought. Here is that interview: http://tinyurl.com/awrrf5
But I'm stupidly going to watch video of #5 to jot down the questions asked of Rep. Waters.
-Did the hearings reveal to you anything you didn't know already? What did you learn if anything today?
-So answer your question there. I mean Mr. Pandit from Citigroup said "we need to do a better job of acknowledging and embracing the new realities." Was that an indication that some of them got it or did you sense this was largely still a performance on their part?
-So you raised a point that is probably closer to the heart of most Americans than the headlines that have been about the corporate jets and the bonuses, the question of credit card rates and what it's actually doing to the on-the-line consumer. But let me ask you about those sort of big ticket horror stories, the bonus money, the bailout money that essentially turns into bonus money...
I give up. You get the idea.
LoBloKO on the John Scott segment, "He did not apologize for reading bare-faced propaganda as news. He apologized for the typo. He is a typo."
The "bare-faced propaganda" is a portion of an accurate compilation of news reports from a variety of news organazations, put together and released by the Senate Republican Communications Center, that clearly lays out the timeline of how the stimulus bill grew from $56 Billion in late September 2008 to $775 Billion by mid December 2008, a 1400% increase in less than 90 days.
Speaking only for myself, that was NEWS to me.
John Scott and FOX News failed to disclose the source of the compilation at the time it aired. That is why Scott needed to apologize, not a typo.
For Olbermann to ridicule someone else for reading "bare-faced propaganda as news" and for failing to apologize appropriately reminds me of the last time I visited the Twilight Zone through Alice's Looking Glass.
He omitted completely Scott's explanation of how their staff researched and verified every fact and figure before it was presented. You know, kind of like The Opposite of how Keith operates.
I finally admit it. Yes, Keith, BOR is going after your parent company because of you. It's all goes back to you. I'm serious here, no sarcasm. Immelt, Zucker, and Griffin have joined forces to allow MSNBC--and, by extension, NBC News--to deteriorate into the progressive-friendly network that it has become, with all standards and integrity flushed out. Because of you, Keith, the good people throughout NBC have a figurative band on their arm, and the band says "I work for Keith Olbermann." Len Berman, Chuck Scarborough, Lynda Baquero, John Marshall, Janice Huff, Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Billy Bush (Bush, Keith; Bush), Johnny Miller, Roger Maltbie, Dan Hicks, Mark Rolfing, Gary Koch, Al Trautwig, Jeff Rossen, Alex Witt, and all the people News 4 New York that I can't think of all have the Keith Olbermann cloud over their heads. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people I named are your friends. If so, that would be more deflating than your radical turn that you took a few years ago. I hate you, Keith. I really do. You hear that, "Countdown" staff? I hate him. I don't care if I said that already in this thread and in other threads. I hate him. He routinely insults my guy, Bill O'Reilly.
I've run out of things to say.
Now, *I* sound like an ideologue, don't I?
Mike C,
Don't know about anyone else, but you have my word that Johnny Miller, Roger Maltbie, Dan Hicks, Mark Rolfing and Gary Koch (you left out Murph) do not work for whatshizname.
Uh oh, looks like we have another rip 'n' read embarrassment for the infamous deplorable one:
This time he took his talking points from HuffPo, and what do you know? Once again he neglected to check the facts.
I sure hope not, ramjet. Bob Murphy (no relation to the late Mets radio play-by-play announcer) slipped my mind. When I was at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club last year for the PGA Tour's PODS Championship (renamed the Transitions Championship), I actually saw (from afar) Murph on the practice green talking to Paul Azinger. I forget exactly what he told him, but I remember him walking up to Paul and addressing him as "'Zinger."
As for the other names I listed:
News 4 New York (WNBC-TV): Len Berman (sports anchor), Chuck Scarborough (7PM anchor, 6PM/11PM co-anchor), Lynda Baquero (reporter), John Marshall (weekend meteorologist), Janice Huff (weekday meteorologist)
"Today": Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira
"Access Hollywood": Billy Bush
NBC Sports: Al Trautwig
MSNBC: Alex Witt (anchor)
Jeff Rossen is all over the place at NBC, MSNBC, and WNBC, as far as I know.
Al's also with MSG Network.
"Stick a fork in Keith Olbermann. He's done."
Oh, I wish that were true, Respectful Insolence. In that T-Points Memo I linked to, BOR brought up a sad point (via BillOReilly.com): "This is why Americans can no longer trust the stock market - it is not based on performance, it's based on cronyism." In this case, it's why we can't expect GE or NBC to do anything about Krazy Keith or the radical left bent of MSNBC. It's cronyism via ideology. Also, money.
Oh man good read J$. Jeez what a mess. No he's WPitW, now he's BPitW, and this other guy is WPitW cause he's linked to Rupert. lol
By this olbylogic anyone whoever got a paycheck from Rupert is WPitW, Pot meet Kettle.
The transcript, which I should have just waited for instead of stressing myself with the video, is out. So, here is the full O'Reilly Attack.
"The silver tonight, Bill-O the clown [Ding!], back to his obsession with my boss, a way of taking a shot at me. "In 2001, legendary GE boss Jack Welsh retired and Jeffrey Immelt took over. On his watch, GE stock has declined an astounding 75 percent, down more than 30 percent since the first of this year. I predicted GE would hit 10 dollars a share and last week it almost did. Immelt still has his job, even as millions of stock holders are getting hammered."
(with evil glee): Oh, Bill, didn't Rupert call you again and tell you to skip the stock quotes for a while? News Corp, the parent company of Bill-O's [Ding!] Fixed News [Ding!], announced it lost six billion 400 million dollars in the last quarter of last year, and it predicted a 30 percent drop in profits for the first half of this year, double Wall Street's estimate. News Corp's stock closed at 7.19 a share today, down about 66 percent from where it was last year.
So Bill, you are saying the CEO of any company losing that much stock value that quickly should be fired? Rupert for you, line one."
So, *that's* why we call him Low Blow KO (or LoBloKO). That attack was a collective kick to our equators. By the way, what was News Corp's highest stock price? And what was GE's? Can anyone answer that question. If News Corp's high was lower than GE's high, it can be said that GE had the bigger downfall than the eeevil News Corp. And in that case, Merkle for you, line two.
Here is the unparsed Talking Points Memo that led to this low blow (parsed sentences surrounded by asterisks): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,491009,00.html
O'REILLY: "While the president and Congress try to figure out how to stop the recession, millions of American investors are refusing to put their money back into the stock market because they believe it is rigged.
Some American companies are so corrupt, so poorly run, it is staggering. And often these companies are able to hide their misdeeds from the public, so we have no idea what's going on.
Under President Bush, federal oversight on Wall Street simply did not exist. The president appointed people like SEC Chairman Christopher Cox, who had no interest in policing any financial wrongdoing.
Add Cox's apathy to the gross incompetence of Democrats like Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank and the recipe for a meltdown was complete. You had a perfect storm whereby Wall Street crooks and fools ran wild.
The best example "Talking Points" can give you is the General Electric Corporation, which we have been investigating for years, ever since GE allowed NBC News to be hijacked by dishonest far-left ideologues.
*In 2001, legendary GE boss Jack Welch retired and Jeffrey Immelt took over.* *On his watch, GE stock has declined an astounding 75 percent, down more than 30 percent since the first of this year.* In addition, Immelt continued to do business with Iran, even as that country was sending roadside bombs into Iraq, killing and maiming thousands of human beings.
Think about this: Every other American company refused to do business with the mullahs, but not Immelt. If your son or daughter or husband or wife had been killed or hurt by Iranian weapons, could you forgive the man?
But Immelt has no shame, and even though GE continues to sink, his salary does not. GE stockholders pay Immelt about $20 million a year in compensation.
A few months ago *I predicted GE would hit $10 a share, and last week it almost did.* *But Immelt still has his job, even as millions of stockholders are getting hammered.* The reason this guy has not been fired is that he has GE's board of directors in his pocket because he gives them lavish perks.
This is why Americans can no longer trust the stock market. It is not based on performance; it is based on cronyism. There are thousands of Immelts running companies right now. CEOs who are ruining their operations while the stockholders lose billions.
So while President Obama wants the taxpayers to bail out the economy, the gangsters on Wall Street are still held largely unaccountable. Yeah, the Senate passed the stimulus package Tuesday, but the public remains deeply suspicious.
By the way, guess who appointed Jeffrey Immelt as one of his economic advisers? Hi, there, President Obama. And guess which network used its power to get President Obama elected? That would be NBC News, owned by General Electric.
Does that sound like "change we can believe in"? Does that sound like transparency?
And that's "The Memo.""
Wow, that's a lot of information that was, once again, completely left out by Herr Olbermahn. What's this? Now he has a call on line three? Line four? Oh, the switchboard is lighting up.
Greg Pollowitz at National Review Online has the last minute or so of Keithy's blue dress interview:
Here were the last of Monkeymann's hard-hitting questions to Rep. Waters:
-The detail that comes out of that letter from the attorney general of New York, Mr. Cuomo, that Bank of America was apparently—he believes at least as a result of the initial investigation he's conducted - was apparently complicit in awarding those bonuses out before, essentially to beat the merger, the beat the oversight.
-Is that best left to the attorney general of one state or is that your purview?
-Lastly, Congresswoman, Senator Snowe of Maine said today, she thinks that that executive pay cap that the president wanted, first 400,000, now half a million, is likely to be left out of the final version of the stimulus. Are you OK with that?
-Congresswoman Maxine Waters—as always, it's been very illuminating. Thanks for some of your time tonight.
It's always "illumninating" when you and your guest(s) completely agree with you.
I had an instructor who stated "figures don't lie but liars do figure" well Bathtube boy must not have heared this. as far as the stock quotes on newscorp and GE. Here are the numbers GE high was 41.40 and now sells for about 12 dollars, Newscorp was 24.90 and now sells for 7.68 the new york times stock was going for 50.00 now you can get it for 4.40 so newscorp did not take as big a hit as NYT. not being interested in stocks it looks to me that GE investors took a bigger lose then newscorp. of course comparing these companies (Ge vs. Newscorp) is like comparing apples to oranges that why I compared Newscorp with the NYT. I not sure who it would worth comparing GE with. So again Bathtube boy cooks the books to to prove his point.
Thanks, Dennis.

It sounds like you have unrealistic expectations after you shoot a roll of film. Why did you think the photos were going to be so successful? What qualities were you expecting and didn't show? When I look at my proof sheets, I always ask myself why I shot each image. Maybe I have two or three (or no) images I like on a roll of 8-12 shots, but I want to know why the shutter got clicked on the others.
There are two of me, the guy who shoots the film, and the guy that develops the film and finds stuff to print. The first guy can can get caught up in the moment, be overly optimistic, and wasteful of film, but the second guy can be a critical jerk! It works best when the second guy is thoughtful enough to explain to the first why some shots work and other don't--and suggest tips for shooting. It also helps when the first guy listens with an open mind, and maybe points out creative some ways to print some of the shots that don't look like blockbusters from a quick glance.

While he might not be on the field every day for practice, Brett Favre will extend his stay at the Green Bay Packers' voluntary organized team activities through next week, longer than originally anticipated.
Why the extra work for the three-time league MVP and future Hall of Famer? Because even after 15 seasons in the NFL, including the past 14 with the same franchise, there apparently is something new under the sun.
Like the offense being installed by first-year Packers coach Mike McCarthy.
Favre acknowledged this week that he has not yet reached an acceptable comfort level with the nuances and terminology of the offense, that he has struggled to recognize play calls at times, and that he requires more hands-on work before the start of training camp.
"It's challenging," allowed the always candid Favre, coming off a 2005 season in which he threw a league-high 25 interceptions and an offseason in which he again considered retirement. "I mean, 'Strong right' last year was something totally different than 'Strong right' this year. That's a minor example. [But] when I hear 'Strong right,' I'm thinking it's something from last year, or the year before that, or the year before that."
In truth, Favre understands the concept and intent of the play-calls, but he has had problems associating the terminology to the plays themselves. Many veteran quarterbacks thrust into a new offense have struggled in the past, suggesting the new nomenclature is akin to assimilating a foreign language. But complicating the assignment for Favre is that he has played in the same offense for virtually his entire career.
During his tenure with the team, the Packers have worked from a West Coast-style design, and that has not changed, even under McCarthy this year. But when Ray Rhodes replaced Mike Holmgren as head coach in 1999, and Mike Sherman succeeded Rhodes a year later, they made only small changes in terminology. The playbook, despite the coaching changes, remained largely intact.
As a first-time head coach, McCarthy, who worked with Favre as his quarterbacks coach in 1999 on Rhodes' staff, has made more sweeping changes in the language of the offense. And there apparently have been occasions that Favre has been flummoxed.
Having learned the old offense by rote, and having it so ingrained after 14 seasons, it has been difficult for Favre to make the mental adjustment. He conceded, in fact, that it's going to take some extra cramming with the playbook and that he might not have everything down until camp opens.
"As you're watching it," Favre said, "you go, 'OK, I recognize that play.' And, I do, too, but it's getting it out of the huddle that's the problem. We have a play called 'Pennsylvania, which means ... well, I'm not sure what it means. But I completed it [Thursday], so that's a positive. ... I have to call the plays and be able to translate that to [the team], and I have to know it inside out. But I have to admit, I sometimes wish it was the old way. But it is what it is."
Packers coaches did not comment on Favre's decision to stay longer at the voluntary sessions, which many of the veterans, particularly on defense, have skipped. But his attendance is almost certainly regarded as a positive by the first-year staff. The original plan was for Favre to attend 10 of the 14 sessions. And while he may be in Green Bay for more than that, he might not necessarily be on the field.
At age 36, Favre is taking more time to condition and has been working on a new regimen designed for him by strength coach Rock Gullickson. So there may be some occasions -- like on Monday, when it was reported that Favre was a no-show for the practice, but he was actually excused from on-field participation so he could work in the weight room -- when he doesn't work with the team.
Favre emphasized that his arm, while rusty from the inactivity of the early offseason, feels good and that, while he hasn't cut loose yet at full velocity, that's only a precautionary measure.

Central Catholic swimmer battles back from neck injury
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Adam Whisner had his sights set on top times with his swims at the Allegheny Mountain Swimming Long Course Junior Olympics meet on July 19 at Pitt's Trees Pool.
The Monroeville resident also hoped to achieve a qualifying time in the 100-meter backstroke for the North Carolina Swimming Senior State Long Course Championships in Greensboro, N.C.
Whisner's Greater Pittsburgh Aquatic Club team was taking part in the event for the first time, and he wanted to be there with his teammates.
However, an unforeseen set of circumstances during his 100 back finals swim at Pitt brought those goals to a screeching halt.
Whisner, 15,�suffered a broken neck when he hit the wall in a turn during his 100 back swim. He regrouped and finished the race, but he came in last.
His goggles started to fill with water as he moved through one of the laps.
"I couldn't see the (guide) flags. My counts were off," he said.
He was checked for a concussion at Pitt, but there was no immediate sign of the neck injury. Late the next day, he felt pain in his neck, and his left arm was numb.
A trip to the hospital and an examination revealed the breaks in three bones in his neck. An MRI also was done to check for muscle or nerve damage.
No surgery was needed, however, as all were stable fractures. Whisner wore a neck brace for a couple of weeks.
Two of the bones have healed, and the third one is close, he said.
Whisner is to limit activities over the next couple of weeks, including no diving or contact sports, while the final fracture finishes healing.
"Right now, I feel good. It's much better than two weeks ago, that's for sure," he said.
"I am happy I wasn't more seriously injured. At the same time, I was frustrated I wasn't able to qualify for North Carolina. But I have a lot more swims left."
Whisner will be a freshman at Pittsburgh Central Catholic for the 2014-15 year, and, he said, he is looking forward to joining the Vikings varsity swim team.
"It could've been worse," said Kellie Whisner, Adam's mother. "We are so blessed it wasn't more than it was. No one wants to break their neck, but the doctor said that if it happens, this was the type to have.
"His good health and athletic lifestyle has helped in the healing process. It contributed to the speed of the recovery."
Whisner swims throughout the year for the Greater Pittsburgh Aquatic Club in Penn Hills. He also is a member of the Gateway Heights swim club in Monroeville.
Earlier this summer, he swam the boys 13-14 50-yard free at an event in a time of 24.00 seconds, and the time tied a club record that had been on the boards since 1975.
The neck injury also prevented him from taking part in the Eastern Swim Association Division I championships on July 26.
Whisner swam at the Eastern Zones in New York for the second time in March, and he fared well at that meet both times. The Eastern Zones is one of four such areas in the USA Swimming family, and it includes the top swimmers from states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, New York and New Jersey.
Whisner recorded top-10 times in every event except for the breaststroke in the 14 age group for the AMS 2014 season.
He started swimming in the ESA for Gateway Heights at the age of 7, and he also competed for the Monroeville Marlins fall/winter club for about six years. He set numerous Marlins club records before transitioning to Greater Pittsburgh.

Picking the right Thai koh is a tricky business: There are thousands to choose from. Jetsetter correspondent and Southeast Asia expert Jennifer Chen has the inside track on five favorites.
Western travelers hit the island in the 70s to practice yoga and meditation and this spirit of healing persists — and now you can throw in four-handed massages between sun salutations. Se: Skip busy Chaweng and Lamai beaches for quieter Mae Nam on the north coast and Taling Ngam down in the southwest. Eat: Family-run Sa Bieng Lae has been serving super-fresh seafood to a lively local crowd for over 20 years. Don't miss the curried baby octopus. Do: Detox in order? The secluded Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary offers hardcore two-week programs. Stay:Banyan Tree Samui
Phuket is Thailand's largest and most developed island, but it's also an obliging and versatile host. Party in neon-lit Patong, hike emerald-green Jurassic cliffs, get active on watersports-central Bang Tao Beach or just lounge out on quiet Kamala Beach. See: Historic Phuket Town is often overlooked, but it's worth spending an afternoon strolling past the century-old, pastel-hued Sino-Portuguese shophouses. Eat: Have a taste of southern Thai specialty kanom jeen puu, rice noodles with crabmeat curry, at the venerable Raya restaurant. Do: Grab your snorkeling mask and boat out to the Raya Islands, 11 miles south of Phuket, where you'll find calm, crystal-clear waters and intact reefs. Stay: Banyan Tree Spa Sanctuary
Krabi attracts a steady flow of adventurers, who scale the island's ubiquitous limestone karsts. See: The spectacular Andaman Sea and countryside panorama is worth the 1,272-step climb that leads to the top of Wat Tam Sua, or Tiger Cave Temple, just outside Krabi town. Eat: Krabi town's markets are a good introduction to local cuisine. The weekend night market has vendors selling fresh seafood, sticky desserts, and khao mok gai, Thai-style biriyani that's a staple among Krabi's Muslim population. Do: Learn to tackle the cliffs at Railay Beach with Hot Rock Climbing School. Stay: Rayavadee
It might be synonymous with the infamous full-moon beach parties, but there's a lot more to Koh Phangan than trance music. Families are hitting the island's northern shore for its luxe resorts and hiking and biking the undeveloped interior. See: Get drenched under a waterfall at Namtok Phaeng National Park, then trek up to Khao Ra, the island's highest mountain. Eat: The wellness retreat, Sanctuary, is known for fasting and weight loss programs, but it also serves exceptional Thai and Indian dishes made with organic ingredients. Do: Sign up for wakeboarding lessons with Wake Up, which operates from quiet Chaloklum Bay. Stay: Rasanda Resort & Spa
Near the Cambodian border along Thailand's east coast, this 15-mile spit of sand has pristine beaches, coconut and rubber plantations and very few visitors. See: The island is ringed by mangrove forests. Rent a boat from your hotel and explore these secret byways. Eat: On a traditional wooden house situated right above the water, Benz's offers a romantic, candle-lit setting for spot-on Thai food made by a long-time chef from Six Senses. Do: Rent a scooter and explore the island. With so few residents and little traffic, Koh Kood is one of the safest places to have your own set of wheels. Stay: Soneva Kiri by Six Senses

Spud's Quest is an indie adventure game for Windows that draws its inspiration from retro classics like the Dizzy series, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. The project was successfully funded on Kickstarter in November 2012. Take on the role of Spud and his friend Prince Charming, who has been cursed by an evil wizard and turned into a frog. The pair set on a journey to uncover four ancient elemental essences that have the power to banish the evil and remove the curse.
I've uploaded a demo for my indie adventure game Spud's Quest.
Posted by ChrisDtk on Nov 14th, 2012
Spud's Quest is a puzzle adventure game that pays homage to retro games like the Dizzy series. This demo covers the majority of the Earth temple, which is the first temple in the game.
Since the game is a work in progress, it's not an actual representation of the final version and parts are subject to change. It will also contain a few bugs here and there.

With the loan, she will buy embroidery material such as beads, colored thread and cloth in bulk to be able to complete orders on time and earn maximum profits. She is hopeful that through the loan investment her business will grow further and also improve the financial condition of her family as a result.
Note: In the photo, the lady with a book (called Asasah Passbook) is Bushra.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Issue: Contributions and pressures between the land and the atmosphere - Climate
This is an issue under the Land theme of the Data Reporting System.
Why we need to know about this issue
Release of carbon into the atmosphere from vegetation and other life forms, and from the fossilized life of earlier epochs, could lead to long-term changes of climate through the 'greenhouse effect', as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap excess heat in the atmosphere. The problem can be compounded by the absence of sufficient vegetation to act as carbon sinks to re-absorb the atmospheric carbon.
Changes to climate can in turn affect the land and its life through changes to patterns of drought, rainfall and flood, wind, fire and frost.
- LD-05 Terrestrial carbon loss rate and rate of land carbon sequestration
When terrestrial carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, either through burning, natural decay or grazing, it can contribute to changing atmospheric composition and ultimately to climate change. Rates of carbon loss and sequestration give an indication of the volumes of terrestrial carbon that are being released as atmospheric carbon and preserved as terrestrial carbon.
- LD-24 Severe drought and wildfire correlation
The indicator would plot, temporally and spatially, positively and/or negatively, the correlation between severe drought and wildfire.
Altered fire regimes are a significant pressure on the land and its biodiversity that may result from changes in climate, particularly changed drought patterns. In the shorter term, extended periods of drought or more frequent drought will increase fire risk with hotter, faster fires because the land cover is present but dry. In the longer term, as vegetation disappears altogether, the fire risk is likely to decline because there is nothing to burn.
Ideally the indicator would also correlate location of fire and drought and control for other land cover changes or changes to the management of native vegetation.
- A-01 Annual variation in the Southern Oscillation Index
A number of studies indicate that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) explains 30 - 40% of the year-to-year variability of Australia's climate, particularly rainfall. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is a well-established measure of this phenomenon. El Niño events are associated with below-normal rainfall and often drought over much of northern and eastern Australia. They generally occur every two to seven years and are generally followed by La Niña events, which are associated with higher rainfall. Changes in the timing of these events may be indicative of longer term changes in climate which may have significant impacts on the land.
- A-02 Rainfall trends - annual mean rainfall
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid. Rainfall trends are important from an environmental and an economic perspective. For thousands of years, Australia has experienced strong year-to-year variations in rainfall. These natural variations and any more extreme variations or changes in the normal scope of variation that may result from anthropogenic climate change are important indicators for the pressure of this change on the land.
- A-03 Rainfall extremes - inter-annual variations in annual extreme rainfall
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid. Rainfall trends are important from an environmental and an economic perspective. For thousands of years, Australia has experienced strong year-to-year variations in rainfall. These natural variations and any more extreme variations or changes in the normal scope of variation that may result from anthropogenic climate change are important indicators for the pressure of this change on the land.
- A-04 Temperature trends - annual mean temperature anomalies
Trends in temperatures are an indicator of climate variability and change that in turn will have an impact on the land.
- A-05 Temperature extremes - percentage area of extreme annual mean temperatures
Trends in temperatures and their spatial distribution are an indicator of climate variability and change, which in turn have an impact on the land.
- A-41 Greenhouse - climate change projections
Climate change projections can assist in the analysis of climatic pressures and climate driven changes to the land and terrestrial biodiversity.
- BD-11 Area burnt by frequency, intensity and season of burning
Changes in area showing up as burnt at various points in time is a direct indicator of changes in the extent of fire occurrence, and provides essential data for determining any correlation between climate change and changing fire regimes.
- BD-15 Examples of impacts of climate variability on selected species, habitats or ecosystems
As there is no continent-wide method of measuring changes that can be directly attributed to climate change across all species and habitats, examples of changes that appear to be directly attributable to this cause is at present the only useful indicator of the pressure of climate change on terrestrial biodiversity.
- AAT-12 Changes in colonies of plants on Heard Island
Understanding the coverage and type of vegetation on the non ice area of Heard Island provides insight into the extent of glacial retreat as a result of climate change which may have implications for biodiversity on the Australian mainland and globally.
- AAT-14 Ice sheet mass balance and sea ice extent
The changes in ice sheets, sea ice and fast ice may be indicators of climate change. In addition, the Antarctic ice sheet and sea ice plays a major role in global climate through its influence on heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere, it assists the formation of Antarctic bottom water which sinks to the depths of the ocean subsequently driving global ocean circulation. This indicator therefore had implications for the impacts of climate change on the Australian continent and globally.
- AAT-15 Glacier movement
Heard Island glaciers have a relatively small ice volume, so the contribution to sea-level rise through glacial melt is not a concern. However, the unique climate signal that is coming from this predominantly oceanic region is of vital importance. It indicates that the change observed elsewhere in Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes - in New Zealand, Patagonia, Kergeulen Island, South Georgia and Bouvet Island - is widespread.
- A-45 Greenhouse - agricultural sector carbon dioxide equivalent emissions
Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural land use are a significant contributor to Australia's total greenhouse emissions. Global greenhouse emissions are considered to be contributing to global warming.

I pull once a week and it seems to work for me
yeah man that song really gets me going. whenever i max, I have that song playing:evillaugh
thanks guys. haha yeah that bar was pretty close to my head. I weigh 165 at 5'9" and my max bench is 245-250 and my max squat is around 350. I used to deadlift but i pulled back muscles every other...
heres a vid i made today during my workout.
ok i'll get a vid of me throwing 225 up with great form next time i workout, and i was really anxious to try out the camera so thats why i did it, and dont tell me you guys all have absolutely...
forgive me for not being perfect. It was after my whole workout. and ive been working out by myself for 2 years now, I know how to roll the weight down my stomach and set it on my legs safely.
I decided to try to use the digital camera to tape a video, but unfortunately i thoght about it AFTER my workout today. so i was extremely worn out when I did this. My real max is 240 ...
I think they make special tampons for squatters like you too ;)
I'm going to have to agree with you on that one:D
yeah I leave the clips off just in case it is too much to roll, but that is a last resort because the weights would go threw the wall if I did tip it :(
if you can't get it up its too much :D
I never use a spotter even when maxing out. Sounds stupid as hell but I have mastered rolling the bar down my chest and stomach and setting it on my legs and then sitting up. I rolled 230 down it...
PRs!!! thats my motivation
yeah I know that I will continue lifting for a long time, because I LOVE working out. Even if I barely gained strength I would still keep at it, because I love pushing my body while working out....

I bought this keyboard off eBay broken just to tear it down for posterity. I found very little that could be repaired on it. But you get to see its guts. This teardown destroys the keyboard!
Embed this guide
With the HTML code below, you can embed this guide as a small widget on your website.
To open the battery compartment, on the left side of the keyboard use a coin to loosen the screw off cover.
The keyboard's power button is on the right side
The upper left hand corner (when turned over) of the keyboard contains the On/Off switch and the bluetooth board.
The removable plastic covering plate may be removed by squeezing it together to release the retaining hooks, Do one side at a time, Squeeze and rotate upward.
The plastic is very stiff and there are three sets of two hooks on each side. This one has been deformed on the back right hand side from a heat gun.
There is a 90 mm by 12 mm circuit board intersected by a vertical 53 mm by 7 mm board forming a T shape. The vertical board appears to be the bluetooth antenna.
Part # 820-2181 is printed on the board.
This board also has the Power Indicating LED light. This board fits inside the round casing unit by the power button. The power button, battery connector and keyboard all connect to this board.
Using the tip of a spudger, flip up the keyboard ribbon cable retaining flap. Pull the keyboard ribbon cable straight out of its socket. It slides out from under the 'vertical' board. Shouldn't be too difficult.
The board is held in place with a small Phillips screw.
Ater removing the screw the board can be gently extricated from the tube. The white plastic disc to the right of the screw needs to be pushed to the right to free up the board.
Note the red and black wires. This connector inserts laterally. The wires go to the battery receptor in the middle of the tube.
The screw is in two parts, a phillips screw goes into a post screw. The top screw holds in the board and the post screw holds the On/Off switch in place.
Here's the obverse of the board. There is a black two prong connector that plugs into the board from the power switch.
The wires run under a small plastic retaining tab and can be moved downward and out.
The power switch is held in place by the Main Board Bracket. Apple Part # 815-9674. The end of the bracket has a small round protrusion that fits into a crescent shaped cut out on the power switch.
The Power Button Board can be pushed out from the inside.
The red wire goes to "TP2", the black wire to "TP1"
The internal battery terminal can be knocked out with a long screwdriver. It is spring loaded and held in place by a metal expansion ring.
I could not discern how the exact placement is determined as the interior of the tube appears to be perfectly smooth.
Removal of the back of the keyboard was done using a heat gun and a scalpel.
Heating the board quickly warps and destroys it.
Glue is all over the bottom plate. It was separated by pulling it apart and slicing the glue with a scalpel.
Here can be seen the layers of the frame, separator, circuit board and metal back plate.
Keys can be easily removed by using a scalpel or fingernail under the left side and lifted.
Here you can see the pole that the screw went in. You can remove this, which allows you to remove the power button and the white housing.
Also, here is the battery terminal (spring loaded) which had to be forced out. It's held in the tube by the expansion ring, which unfortunately is the best-made bit of this keyboard. I forced it out using a long screw driver, but unfortunately broke the wires. Keyboard had died anyway, thanks Apple.
Comments Comments are onturn off
This keyboard holds 3 AA batteries not 2.
No quibble at all. My keyboard ca. 2010 years old is two batteries. No question but that the A1255 had three, the A1314 which I have is two. Duh! (for me). I didn't think initially about model numbers and I got enough out of this to make it work
Thanks to this post I managed to remove a stuck battery on an A1314, pushing the battery out with a letter opener.
The ribbon cable is not hard to remove, but a little trick to open and relock it back? I just had cataract surgery which didn't help, but it's pretty obvious when you take a close look.
There was no corrosion; the keyboard was working. Someone installed off-brand batteries, no leaks just stuck. New name brand (copper tops) slide in and out without a problem.
If you kept the keys, I'd like to buy an "L" key and the plastic/rubber part that goes underneath. Little accident with my keyboard left L key inoperable .... ;-)
How did you manage to knock out the battery terminal with only a screwdriver and from which end of the aluminum encasement did you knock it out?
Do you know where i can buy the logic board for this keyboard??
Wow.. you destroyed this thing! It would be great to have a guide that wouldn't need you to replace every component after opening it up! I'm looking into powder coating (once I remove the anodizing) this and my apple trackpad, so I would like to not destroy any part. I wonder what kind of glue can be used to re-bond the base to the frame...? Thank you for at least showing us what "not" to do when tearing it down.
I had this keyboard fail on me, and the 'ball of tin foil in the battery compartment' didn't work.
The grey plastic pops off with a small screwdriver - 6 clips hold it in place.
Re: the screw that's at the 'button' end. Remove the screw, then you remove the 'pole' that the screw went into (it unscrews too). This will allow you to remove the board (it's a squeeze, but you can pull it out) - you might need to push in the white plastic beside the button wall to allow you to get it out.
I was unable to non-destructively remove the internal battery terminal. The metal expansion ring which holds it in place appears to be the most well-made part of this entire £59 keyboard :( Only way I found was to knock it through forcefully with a long screwdriver - from the 'internal' end, out through the battery hole. The red wire became disconnected when I did this. It was connected to the point that sticks out the bottom of the battery terminal. Black wire connects to the expansion ring.
Good luck
Thanks a lot for the detailed tear down description! I was able to repair my keyboard and have no to by a new one. I don know how it can happen, but after a battery change the plastic cap on the end of the battery terminal was flipped around and the battery's positive terminal had no contact with the current collector.
note that the picture shows the battery terminal is broken by knocking it out with a screwdriver. You need a special set of long nosed pliers that can remove the circlip by contracting it.
I used two extension bars and a socket of a 1/4" socket set to knock out the battery terminal form the logic board side to the battery load hole without destroying anything. I have not removed the circlip beforehand.
The battery terminal is hold in place by a small heel in the tube. The circlip will clip in when you later push the battery terminal back.
I used a circlip pliers (Hazet 1843a - 12) to squeeze the circlip an bring the whole battery terminal back into the battery tube. I used the same tools to knock in the battery terminal until it latches into its designated position.
Hi! I was wondering if you had a temperature scale to give us.
There is lot of plastic on these pretty things, I'd prefer not to deform any part of it with too many heat.
My idea is to use a heat table which is more accurate, and non destructive.

Customized Large Zero Messenger
Overall rating based on 204 reviews
Ben – Verified Buyer
Thanks for making a great bag!
Dorothy Brutlag – Verified Buyer
I have a small frame. It is too heavy for me. I wish I had ordered the smaller one. The strap does not fit well and I can't shorten it any more.
Michelle – Verified Buyer
My bag is great - super lightweight which is a HUGE plus. Of course it is pretty big, so it can get heavy fast. I wish the strap could adjust to be a little longer and when it is full, it is a little challenging to maneuver. Would also love an option for a zipper on the inside, just for peace of mind, but I will be ordering the zipper pocket and hope that will make a difference for those things I am most concerned about.
I ordered the sail material and it is a little stiff, but very cool looking.

The Rickshaw Large Zero messenger is the best casual bag I have ever owned. And I have owned dozens of bags, including messenger bags made by other San Francisco manufacturers.
I was looking for a large bag that would allow me to carry a laptop, a few books and maybe an extra t-shirt and toothbrush to school and back. I wanted something fun but understated. I also wanted a solid bag that would last forever.
The Rickshaw Zero is sturdy, comfortable, minimalistic, light and well designed. It does not look technical like other messenger bags. There are no bells and whistles. I think a well-designed product is a product that does not interfere with its intended use. The Rickshaw Zero fits that definition perfectly. It looks great, too!
I was skeptical about the "ears" where the straps are attached. It turns out they are a very clever feature. They allow the bag to "hug" your back when the bag is worn messenger-style. This is especially useful when you are on a bicycle.
If you are hesitating between a medium and a large, I would go with the large. It's better to have a little extra space. Besides, the bag fits and looks just fine even if it is not filled completely. The colors were exactly as expected.
I would get the waterproof liner, because you never know and it's only an extra ten bucks. I also recommend the buckles because I wanted to be able to close the bag securely. I did not order any of the other accessories.
Customer support was helpful, patient and had a great sense of humor.
It would be great if you made a ballistic nylon version!
The Rickshaw Zero Large will surely become my favorite travel companion.
Michael McCormack – Verified Buyer
I've owned my bag for about five months now and have subjected it to a regime of daily abuse, largely because it never seemed to mind. I've packed it with 12kg of sharp-cornered contents for a two-hour walk, I've filled it with blood-dripping meat and frozen ice-cream bars, and I've lugged 50 light bulbs across a city to see what would happen.
Short version: if you're prepared to put up with a bag that can carry enough weight to bruise your shoulder, this is the one to buy. Not a single stitch had stretched after an hour with 12.5kg inside; anything organic can be wiped from the waterproof lining (an option I'd recommend highly, although cold things seem to attract uncanny amounts of condensation); huge volumes of groceries, books and work tools can be made to disappear into it. Service from Rickshaw was superb, even when an missing part of my order had to be sent to China.
Cautionary notes: don't treat the strap pad as optional if you're planning to carry heavy weights - it makes a huge difference to comfort. If you feel certain you're likely to use the drop pocket, consider getting the extra velcro pad installed and buying two of them - I'm now planning to, mostly because the large volume of the bag makes having a permanent place for small things all the more important.
Things I wish were different: only one side of the strap is adjustable. I tend to wear my bag cross-shouldered, with the flap facing in (I live in a big city, where pickpocketing on crowded subways happens.) It's extremely difficult for me (175cms, 75kg) to get the strap adjusted to a comfortable length without the strap adjuster digging into my ribs. If both sides were adjustable, it would be easy. In a really ideal world, the bag would be reversible, so my safety orange lining would be more visible to drivers and I could still turn up at clients' offices without looking like a duck hunter. By now, the only thing I miss about my 13 year old Timbuk2 is the exterior pocket that held a water bottle.

A psalm.
1 Sing a new song to the Lord
because he has done miraculous things.
His right hand and his holy arm have gained victory for him.
2 The Lord has made his salvation known.
He has uncovered his righteousness for the nations to see.
3 He has not forgotten to be merciful and faithful
to Israel's descendants.
All the ends of the earth have seen how our God saves ⌊them⌋.
4 Shout happily to the Lord, all the earth.
Break out into joyful singing, and make music.
5 Make music to the Lord with a lyre,
with a lyre and the melody of a psalm,
6 with trumpets and the playing of a ram's horn.
Shout happily in the presence of the king, the Lord.
7 Let the sea, everything in it,
the world, and those who live in it roar like thunder.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands
and the mountains sing joyfully
9 in the Lord's presence
because he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice
and its people with fairness.

|The classification of antiseptic products to be administered to wounds--another borderline case between medicinal products and medical devices?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17190379 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The importance of a correct demarcation between a Medicinal Product (MP) and a Medical Device (MD) is undisputedly one of the major topics related to the development and launch of a new healthcare product. However, for some products the correct demarcation between MPs and MDs can turn out to be somewhat complicated. This article aims to provide an overview on the existing legislation and its adequate application based on a suitable example at hand. Article 2 (2) of the European Directive 2001/83/EC as amended by Directive 2004/27/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use stipulates that the respective Medicinal Products Legislation must be applied whenever a product can be covered by both the definitions for MPs and for products regulated by other legal provisions enacted by the European Community, e.g. Cosmetic Products (CPs) or MDs. This basic principle implies that the decision to base the risk-benefit assessment of the product in question on the Medical Device Directive (MDD) would contradict the aforementioned constitutional principle, pursuant to which the stricter of the regulatory procedures theoretically possible is to apply in cases of doubt. In contrast to the approval procedure established for MPs, the MDD requires a Conformity Assessment Procedure to be performed by the manufacturer himself and a "Notified Body". Thus, in the majority of cases the responsibility for the risk assessment of MDs lies solely with the manufacturer and is prior to launch not subject to further scrutiny by regulators. Only in specific cases, i.e. for the Conformity Assessment Procedure of Class III MDs which contain an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient one of the Member States competent authorities designated in accordance with Directive 65/ 65/EEC has to be involved before taking a decision. It is therefore important that the classification of the product is carried out carefully in full compliance with existing legal provisions, also taking into account the related guidance documents issued by the European Commission. The adequate application of these rules is explained using the example of the antiseptic compound polihexanide, which is used both in approved medicinal products (wound antiseptics) and wound irrigation solutions labelled as medical devices.

If you are visiting Metro Detroit then here's a list of things that you should definitely consider doing. Here are the best activities to do while visiting this amazing city:
Visit Detroit Institute of Arts
Considered to house one of the best craftsmanship accumulations in the United States, the Institute showcases everything from mummies to present day workmanship and African covers to Monets in its remarkable accumulation of in excess of 65,000 works. Don't miss the General Motors Center for African American Art, a some piece of the DIA which showcases 400 pieces, in different media, by African American craftsmen.
Take a Spin at Motown Museum
The exhibition hall, which is really two houses conjoined, comprises of an office, a home, a recording studio, a switchboard and a childcare. The Motown Museum recounts the story of the excellent time of Motown Records and Tamla Records from 1959 to 1971, where Hitsville USA had a surprising 110 main 10 hits! The historical center houses Motown memorabilia, for example, collection spreads, gold records, ensembles and photographs identified with the rich history of Motown and its author, Berry Gordy.
The Motown Museum has reproduced Hitsville USA to what it looked like when it was last utilized as a part of 1971. A number of the first furniture dwell in the gallery, for example, the recording supplies. There are actually candy machines: a cigarette machine and a treat machine, with the first confections in the presentation.
Visit the renowned Mary Roman Catolic CHurch
St. Mary Roman Catholic Church is the third most established area in Detroit, Michigan. (The area is also called Old St. Mary's Church to maintain a strategic distance from perplexity with other St. Mary's wards in the Redford neighborhood of Detroit or close-by urban areas of Royal Oak, Monroe, or Wayne). The area was established in 1834 by Father Martin Kundig to serve the German-talking settlers who settled in this piece of Detroit,which these days is known as Greektown. The principal church was built in 1841 at this site ashore sold to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevre for one-dollar by Antoine and Monica Beaubien.
The current church was finished in 1885. German conceived and prepared planner Peter Dederichs composed the red-block church with a mix of Pisan Romanesque and Venetian Renaissance impacts. The west veneer of the congregation is flanked by twin towers which outline a vast rose window. The Romanesque-Venetian style extends to the parsonage. The congregation is 176 ft (54 m) long.
The nave is 80 ft (24 m) wide and achieves a stature of 90 ft (27 m). The congregation inside has ten cleaned rock sections which isolate the primary and side walkways. The sections are each one cut from a solitary bit of stone and were initially gotten ready for the Michigan State Capitol which was generally inherent Lansing in the meantime as the congregation. The congregation, school and parsonage were recorded as Michigan Historic Sites in 1979. St. Mary Parish has been staffed by the Spiritans or Holy Ghost Fathers since 1893.
Don't forget the Fox Theater
The Fox Theater is a 1928 motion picture castle and performing expressions focus placed at 2211 Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Found inside the Detroit Theater District, the Fox has turned into a standout amongst the best theaters in the nation consolidating Broadway shows, shows, uncommon occasions and the unique exemplary film screenings. The Detroit Fox is one of five dynamite Fox Theaters implicit the late 1920s by film pioneer William Fox.
It was planned by engineer C. Howard Crane who portrays the Fox's style as "Siamese Byzantine." The Fox is the biggest surviving film royal residence of the Roaring 20s. It was recorded on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and was assigned a National Historic Landmark in 1989. The Fox is Detroit's biggest film castle. The Fox Theater has 5,048 seats. The inside of the Fox Theater in St. Louis, Missouri is its engineering virtual twin with around 500 less seats than the Detroit Fox. In 1988, the Detroit Fox experienced a $8.1-million reclamation.
Visit Proud Lake Recreation Area
The shoreline zone is on a generally little lake region on Proud Lake. It is man made with trucked-in sand. The range does, notwithstanding, have a little island for angling that is reachable by wading in the water.
Campers and boaters have a different, little shoreline with a watercraft incline. Pleased Lake Recreation Area is off of Wixom Road. It can get a little boring while waiting for something to happen, and if yor unlucky the waether will be against you so we recommend you to take a mp3 player or a pair of waterproof portable speakers along. Also, don't forget the fishing rod.

Panama City's best Indian restaurant is also one of your surest bets for going vegetarian in a town short on options for herbivores. The shrine behind the bar shows a traditionally dressed Indian woman making the gesture meaning welcome, and owners Koreena Bajwa and César Marín certainly make guests feel that way. Their authentic north Indian cuisine is served in cozy, colorfully decorated dining rooms, which include an area for shoeless dining on the floor on plush cushions. Just about any of the dozens of vegetarian, chicken, and lamb options on the menu are guaranteed to make your taste buds smile. A great nonmeat option is the thali, a plate that includes four hefty samplers including beans or lentils and a yogurt-based dish. This popular restaurant is small, so reservations are essential.

Beats by Dre launches World Cup mini-movie featuring Solo2, iPhone 5s
updated 06:28 pm EDT, Thu June 5, 2014
Video features authentic pre-game prep rituals by star soccer athletes, company says
The first promotional ad for Beats' headphone division, Beats by Dre, since Apple's deal for the firm has been released -- and heavily features the iPhone 5s throughout the five-minute video. Unlike previous commercials, however, the iPhone is seen to be the only smartphone used by the athletes. The ad, titled "The Game Before the Game," focuses on World Cup stars such as Neymar da Silva Santos Junior and features what the company says are genuine pre-match rituals.
The thrust of the ad is an equal mix of soccer personalities and the latest Beats headphones, the Solo2 -- which has been praised for being less bass-heavy and more balanced in its sound reproduction than previous Beats headphones. A number of top soccer stars are seen wearing the Solo2s during their own personal warmups before a game, whether that means listening to music, practicing, communicating with family or what looks like praying or contemplative reflection.
Beats is not an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup and consequently no direct mention of the game is present, but the timing of the ad along with its theme make the connection clear. The ad is somewhat more earthy and "street" in its style than a typical Apple ad, but shares a poetic use of images, editing and music put together in a harmonic way, and focuses on the people rather than the product, tying Beats to big events in people's lives.
Apple and Beats have agreed on terms, but the deal between them awaits regulatory approval. The acquisition is expected to close near the end of summer, and Apple has already made jokes (in its WWDC keynote address) about how Beats co-founders Andre Young (Dr. Dre) and Jimmy Iovine are becoming Apple employees.
