This is a costume that keeps on giving. Sure, it's pricey, but any Chewbacca costume involves a lot of work to get the right balance of fur, fangs, and flowing mane. This getup comes with the added bonus in that it's pretty versatile, too. You can wear it to Star Wars gatherings, any festival or convention that welcomes cosplay, and, if you're really bad-ass, you can come up with creative ways to rock this costume,like running a marathon in it

Let's conduct a celebrity DNA experiment. Let's say you've got a Petri Dish. Let's say, in that Petri Dish, you've got the love gunk of the following luminaries: Carol Channing, Rufus Wainwright, Paul Simon, Tori Amos, Ben Lee, Pia Zadora, Tom Waits, Ani DiFranco and the woman who sings the Spanish version of "Crying" in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Let's say that love gunk gets mixed up, injected into Amos' womb, and crystallizes into a gorgeous little bambino. That bambino would be hopelessly annoying. It would also be sensationally talented. That bambino would be Regina Spektor, one of the most frustrating, confounding, and mesmerizing musicians on the planet.
Last night, Spektor played solo before an adoring packed house at the Moore. Her vocal range, tone and precision were awe-inspiring and gorgeous, her minimalist piano technique pitch perfect, and her lyrics often hilarious. But her pseudo-beatboxing, Jewel-esque vocal inflections and goofy percussive meltdowns were as annoying as they were unique. Spektor's unpredictability is doubtless part of her extreme charm. It is also why she might find that her audiences will stagnate at Moore-sized venues. Maybe she doesn't care; and that's fine. But if Spektor wanted to, she might yet make a singularly beautiful work of music, the likes of which this earth has not seen in a great long while. She's that talented. It will be fascinating to watch whether she harnesses that talent in more focused future exploits.
Oh, and special bonus pre-show pre-func question: Which scene would you rather spend two hours in: (1) a group of insufferably snotty participants in a "transnational trivia" event sponsored by a vague international issues nonprofit which has rudely commandeered an entire Belltown sports bar (and its TVs) in the middle of the Warriors-Mavericks playoff game, or (2) a notorious Belltown tavern across the street from a drug-park-turned-dog-park where virtually every patron is dangerously hammered or dealing, uh, certain contraband that isn't as innocent as baseball cards? Tough one, isn't it?

Hi there,
After several plugins got updated yesterday I saw in the source code that actually no plugin is loaded* on the frontpage anymore. On all the other pages everything works just fine.
The most obvious one is the menubar (wp-menubar-plugin), and for now I made an exception for the homepage** loading a hard coded copy of the menu as I couldn't debug the issue.
For comparison:
- homepage: http://www.ehpress.com/
- other page example: http://www.ehpress.com/specials/
I tried some debugging by deactivating all plugins and activating one after the other with no change. I had a look through all my template files and couldn't find anything that could cause this 'exception'.
Has anyone experience with this or a similar behaviour?
I would be thankful for any hint where I could start with the debugging.
Thank you for any help,
* the easiest test is the 'All in One SEO Pack' which should be found in the header
if (is_page('home')) ... echo css and in the body echo html

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 662 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by rakowski79 Very pleasant long weekend stay in Paris I recently stayed at Westin Vendome for 4 days with my wife, who was celebrating her birthday. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend the hotel. Liked: Excellent location (central. close proximity to great shopping, museums, Metro, Left Bank, etc), pleasant check-in and check-out, large standard rooms with tall ceilings for Paris, nice décor, comfortable bed, quiet room, great block out drapes so the room remains dark after sunrise, SPG recognition, good Wifi, complimentary water in the room replaced daily, pleasant staff who all speak English well, helpful concierge who communicates well in person and online before the hotel stay. We received a gift for my wife's birthday, which was a nice touch. Disliked: Somewhat impersonal (a bit unavoidable at a large hotel), no one really greets guests or knows your name, very poor system for obtaining taxis during the evening "rush hour" dinner period, concierge messed up one lunch reservation (booked the wrong day) but never gave an apology, no room upgrade despite Starwood Gold status, clean rooms but shower area not properly cleaned (hair left in shower), turn down service missed one night and when the hotel was informed they offered to bring us towels but did not apologize, double vanity for sinks and glass door for shower would have been preferred (shower curtains are not very sanitary and give a non-luxury feel) September 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by USA123 Location, Location, Location! Fantastic hotel in a great part of town! The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the guys working the concierge desk helped us several times during our stay and offered some very good dining and travel suggestions. Yes it is pricey and yes the rooms are a little small (we were in room 5043 which had a great king sized bed in it) but you are in Paris, so what do you expect? Very accessible to the metro and you can walk to virtually everything from the location. Would love to stay here again! September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kurt11 Great location and excellent concierge service We liked a lot of things about this hotel, including its great location just above the Tuileries Garden, but the best part of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the concierges, especially Pierre-Francois. They were courteous and gracious at every turn and helped with reservations at a number of great restaurants. September 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MomaB Mother Daughter Days I would like to give special recognition to Lone at the Starwood desk. She was superb! September 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by hk39 This hotel makes you feel special The hotel was busy and they could not upgrade our room initially but they took the earliest opportunity to move us to a junior suite. The staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. We took advantage of the Platinum discounts to enjoy fabulous meals in the outdoor Terrasse and the Bar. Our room treats were unexpected but added to the "wow" factor. The spacious room and amenities made this a fabulous vacation. The location of the hotel makes all of Paris accessible. September 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChrisG170 Horrible customer service I have stayed in NUMEROUS Westin Hotels and this one by far has the WORSE staff! I took almost an hour to check me in.. and its because the receptionist just LEFT! She went to the back and just left! I was so livid that I asked the night manager to come see me in my room. When I told her what happened, her response "So what do you want me to do?" and rudely! Like she was annoyed at me for complaining during the evening. I couldn't even respond to her. Didn't get a run down on the hotel/restaurants when checking in, no "thanks for staying with us,how was your stay" etc when checking out. Just Absolutely appalling experience. If I could, I would definitely avoid staying in this hotel, which is a shame since its in a fantastic location. September 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by princessbewitched The One! We couldnt ask for more better than this. Location is perfect. We had a room facing the Eiffel Tower. Room is spacious. Customer Service is excellent. Restaurant, bar and dine in are good too if feeling to stay in. Worth every penny. Thank You, Westin Vendome! September 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tripp3 Outstanding hotel The location was perfect for easy access to the places in Paris that were top on our list. The concierge desk was very professional and friendly. Mr. Buisson was especially helpful. September 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Monk Great Visit as a platinum spg member the service at the Westin -Vendome was great. The front desk, concierge were awesome. The restaurant on site is very good. September 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marcus1130 Great location and staff We've stayed at the Westin 4 times now, the most recent to celebrate our marriage. In advance, Maeva at the concierge desk helped us secure reservations at several hard to get into bistros which was wonderful! She was responsive in keeping us informed of confirmations. At check-in at the SPG Platinum desk, Medhi couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Upon learning of our recent marriage he made sure we got a complimentary bottle of wine, which was excellent and explained all the amenities and services, including daily breakfast. The hotel is in an ideal central location near the Louvre and Champs Elysees. The room was spacious and clean and all the staff were friendly. On the down side, the coffee at breakfast was always weak and luke warm at best, which should be better at such a hotel. But it's hard to complain about a free amenity that otherwise cost 39 euros. And the shower curtain had a musty smell. But overall this is a great hotel and one we'll continue coming back to. September 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JasonH So bad I don't think I can fit it all in this review... I am not surprised to read the recent negative reviews about this hotel. I am staying at the hotel right now and it is so bad it is almost beyond belief. I planned this trip to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and booked the room almost a year ago and notified the staff about our special event. We have experienced so many problems, I will only list some of them here: - When we arrived our room was not ready at check-in time. The lobby was a mess with people and no where to sit or wait. They gave us 2 free drink tickets for the bar, but we could not get in (more on that later). When we did get our room, we were exhausted and looking forward to unpacking and relaxing, and we walked in on another couple in our room! It turns out they had checked 2 couples into the same room. - Finally got another room, but it was incredibly small, MUCH smaller than the one we were originally assigned. The ceiling was so low that my wife (who is 5'2") kept hitting her head on the ceiling. Unacceptable for this mistake, and then to be downgraded to a smaller room on our special occasion. The robes in this room had stains on them and looked like they had not been washed - we had to ask for them to be replaced. - Dealing with the spg gold/platinum desk was difficult. At first they did not seem to care, and seemed try to prove my complaints as incorrect and acting like I was complaining to try to get something for free. I realize that the hotel was very full, but there were rooms available, so I very reasonably requested a good solution for all involved. I again said that this was a very special occasion for us and I am trying to make the best of it. I said that I see that there are larger rooms available (including jr. suites, suites, etc.) and that I would be happy to PAY to be put in one of those available rooms. I can not think of a more reasonable solution, as that would make us happy and I would pay for it so the hotel would benefit as well. Unbelievably, they said they would not allow it. I asked why, because the rooms are available on the hotel website. They said that the manager was "blocking all of those rooms right now and there was nothing that could be done about it". I asked if someone was staying in those rooms and they said "no" but that they had a very important conference going on and someone important might show up and want those rooms. I said that they were available right now for anyone to purchase, and they said that is because there is a 2 hour delay between the time they block the rooms and the website inventory gets updated, and that in 2 hours all of the rooms would be unavailable. I suspected they were not telling the truth, and the were not. 2 hours, 8 hours, and more than 24 hours later there were still larger rooms available (and there are still available 2 days later as I write this) It really adds insult to injury, after the problems we had at the beginning and then the SPG desk not allowing me to spend my own money to buy a room that is publicly available for anyone in the world to rent is insulting and beyond unacceptable. - They did move us the next day to an acceptable room (where my wife doesn't have to hit her head while walking around the bed), but not one of the ones that I asked to pay for. And of course the problems continue. This is by no means a complete list of the problems we have had, but here are some: - This is our third day here and we finally got to try the food at the hotel. We usually eat alot at the hotels were we stay, but here this is almost impossible. Yesterday we went to find some breakfast (or lunch, whatever was being served at the time), and we could find nothing. We asked at the front desk and they said that "usually" they serve breakfast in the courtyard but not today. This is a big theme here, were they say "usually we do this, but not for you or not today". Not offering any other suggestions (also another problem at this hotel), she said that we could try eating at the bar. At about 10am, the only place to eat was the bar, which seemed strange. When we walked to the bar, they turned us away saying "There is no place for you. Sorry" and walking away. Very strange and rude. No mention of "If you would like to wait for a table", or anything. This was also another big problem we have seen repeated many times here. - Last night we woke up to a very loud noise coming from the bathroom. When we tried to get in to see what it was, we could not open the bathroom door. The entire front of the bathroom counter had fallen off and wedged it self against the door so the door would only open 3 inches. It took us a long time to figure out how to move it. We had to ask several times for someone to come and fix it. - When the cleaning staff cleaned our room (after they asked twice to come in even though we had the do not disturb sign on), when we returned to the room they did not clean the bathroom and there was hair and dirty towels in the tub. - One day when we returned to our room from eating to get ready for a tour, there was a sign on the door asking us to please wait because they were in our room servicing it. We waited and waited in the hallway, and finally we could wait no more without missing our tour, so we went in and the room was empty. They were not in there but left the sign on the door. - We spent half of the first 3 days of our trip waiting for something to be fixed or corrected, instead of enjoying our time in Paris. When the moved us to our third room, I was assured many times that they would move everything including the items in our closet. Of course when we returned the items in our closet were missing, and we had to wait for them to be found. - They sent up a bottle of wine as a sorry gift, but it was corked and they gave us no opener. I am not sure if it was because they didn't want us to drink it, or if it was another lack of attention to detail that that seems to happen all of the time here. I have gone on long enough, and will close with this thought: This is one of the worst, if not the worst, hotel we have ever stayed in. The things that are done here are for the convenience of the staff, and the guests are treated as in intrusion. After our first day at the hotel I was thinking that I made a huge mistake coming to Paris because of how we were being treated. Fortunately, Paris is a wonderful city and we have been treated very well everywhere we have gone EXCEPT for at our own hotel. This hotel reflects very poorly on Paris, Westin, and SPG. We are still here for a few more days, so who knows what exciting disappointments are still to come. This morning my wife and I were in the lobby and we had to laugh when we overheard two gentleman talking, and one said to the other "I always stay at the Westin every time I come to Paris... But I don't know why because they are always bad". I think that sums it up perfectly. PS - even though i cannot bring myself to give the hotel more than 1 star, I have to recognize that it is a big staff, and it would be unfair not to recognize 2 good people among the problems we have experienced. Amandine at the front desk for seeming to genuinely care about our problems on the first day (sadly I think that maybe she was not senior enough to take care of them on her own or maybe I would have been a better outcome), and Denis on the in-room dining staff for doing a very professional job, and for helping us open that bottle of wine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bduncan388 Excellent This hotel exceeded my VERY high expectations!!!!!!!! September 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by wsquared Service Should Have Been Better I was very surprised by the service level. I ordered dinner from room service late in the evening. After the food arrived, I discovered the utensils were missing. Room Service was difficult to get in touch with and I was placed on music hold for long periods of time (reception did not pick up either). When I finally received the utensils, the food was NOT hot and NOT good. Also, there was a long line when I checked out and I was under time pressure to get to the train station. There was not an adequate number of personnel at the reception desk and no personnel specifically dedicated to Gold and Platinum Members. Surprisingly, there were two Westin employees seated at the SPG desk that did nothing to assist....left a very bad impression with the Starwood members in line. On the positive side, the Concierge Desk was very helpful with dining suggestions and reservations. September 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by martin2m9 perfect function facilities, poor room Room was small, noisy air condition and a tiny bathroom were I hardly could stand taking my shower (height < 2 m). Avoid staying in the 5.th floor! Function rooms, food quality in line with price appreciation. Hotel hall could be a bit larger, we had some trouble to find a place for a meeting of 3 people. I I asked for a wake up call on 6.9. which was noted but not executed. Poor for a ***** place September 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by WB68 Great location and nice hotel Goood facilities but very mixed rooms. This time i stayed in a shoebox, which i found very expensive for size and quality of room. September 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by violet23 Terrible experience ever. The start was great. I asked a booking for a restaurant I wanted to go to the hotel concierge by e-mail a month before my trip, and he made a reply very soon. I really appreciated him because his service was very touching. And when I arrived at the hotel, all people including the staffs at the reception were very professional. I met the concierge, and I asked him to confirm my restaurant reservation. However, when I went to the restaurant, the manager said to me that 'the concierge cancelled your dinner this morning'. I waited for 30 minutes at the bar for my dinner and finally I got a table at 10 pm!! That was not the end. I have booked a shuttle for going back to airport, and the concierge leave me a message that the meeting time for the shuttle was change from 9:30 to 9:15. I was waiting in the morning, but the shuttle didn't come, and when I called them they say, 'The meeting time was change from 9:30 to 9:45, I said to your concierge' The staff at the concierge just said, the guy received the call was off. It was as if the concierge have been making a trouble for me on purpose. What the terrible service! The concierge absolutely needs immediate improvement!! September 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cstmbuilder Rude management Staff at front desk While doing business with the front desk I was interrupted by her boss, who moved her out of the way to use the computer she was using to help me. When I complained to her boss I was given a very flippant "sorry" but she continued to use the computer. When I again said she was being rude and not sorry because she was still interrupting my business, she moved to an adjacent non maned computer! Very Poor Management skills! I was asked for my SPG level because it didn't show in computer! Bell hop showed up at our room, delivered our bags, failed to show us how to operate heating/air conditioning , T V no adapter plugs or pen / pencil in room! Upper Management Needs to retrain front desk staff, this front desk staff sends out a VERY POOR message. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT GUESTS, September 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by susiemac Great Location This hotel is in a very good location and within easy walking distance to the Louve. The room was comfortable although small. The bathroom was spacious with the shower over the bath. The hotel staff are ready to please all guests As the hotel is 5 star dining is very expensive. September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MsAnnMarie A beautiful hotel in a great location! The staff were most accommodating and kind. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we were congratulated with a lovely bottle of wine and Evian. Little touches mean so much. September 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Fred907 Sloppy service I have never written a review before, but my experience at the hotel was so exceptionally terrible that I am finally doing so. It wasn't one or two issues, but rather a pattern of sloppiness that likely reflects insufficient staffing or poor training (likely a combination of the two). Here were the issues: 1) The minibar had not been cleaned-previous guest left hummus and an identified bag of food in there--unsure how long it was in there, but smell was pretty bad. Minibar team should be doing a sweep every time. 2) Housekeeping must have rushed thru cleanup--a hair clip with hair in it was left on the floor in the room. 3)Concierge printed out a map to a restaurant after making a reservation for me--he didn't bother checking the address on the map--which listed the right street and number, but not the right city. What was supposed to be a 10 euro/10 minute journey turned into a 50 euro 1.5 hour debacle which resulted in me missing my reservation and wasting an afternoon. 4) Service express was anything but express. They didn't always pick up, rushed me off the phone, and generally lacked a service orientation. Getting an extra trashbag required 3 calls over an afternoon. I get that the hotel was busy, but it's the managers responsiblility to ensure the hotel was sufficiently staffed. All the mistakes above are indicative of various employees rushing thru their jobs. A few other points: 1) Great location (but there are many other hotels in the same area) 2) comfy bed 3) doors are too small/too thin. You can hear everything happening in the hallway (and I was in back of a large deluxe room). Door is too small for its frame as it lets the light from the hallway in. September 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by FourBells Underwelmed ... Had high expectations, but in practice were let down by - failure of hotel booked vehicle to turn up at CDG on our arrival (they said booking mixed up in system); noise from adjoining room enough to wake us up each evening; failure of breakfast waiting staff to correctly deliver meal - my wife's arrived but mine did not - after 2 requests and 45 minutes we left and I ate elsewhere. Pity .... great premises in great location in great city. September 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Spooky Room Room was much too small for two people. Room was in a noisy location. Nice furnishings and appointments. September 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ramin17 Excellent Stay at Paris The hotel was comfortable and provided all the amenities that we required, family of 3. The staff are very friendly and helpful. One issue: the concierge information is not uptodate. They recommended a restaurant that was closed, then they gave us a bus/boat schedule that was one year old. And their directions are not easy to follow. But overall the hotel is great, just don't rely on the concierge service. August 31, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by oursdur Going from bad to worse I have stayed in Westin Paris many times but whenever I return I find service standards to have become lower. During my last checkin the lady at the SPG Gold/Platinium counter conveniently disappeared when we arrived, and we had to wait 15/20 minutes to check in when this wasn't a peak time or there was no group check in. A lady was helping another guest in front of me so I patiently waited behind him, but as soon as she had dealt with the first client she also disappeared in the back office even without a word of apology. Based on previous experience with the hotel I had been asked to contact hotel management in advance of my future visit so that they could prepare room as per our needs, but unfortunately it seems emails were not even read. Last but not least rooms maintenance is clearly not done (broken door handle, dirty bathroom, stains on the mirror, ...) Only positive points for this hotel : location and an excellent team at the concierge desk. August 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VinceNJ Paris at its finest I'm so glad we chose The Westin Paris Vendome. The location was perfect, staff helpful and pleasant, room beautiful and spacious (inner courtyard facing which made the room amazingly quite). I don't think I was treated this good just because I'm SPG Gold, though it was nice walking right up to the SPG Gold/Platinum Desk for check-in. We did not eat at the hotel so I can't comment on the food or prices. A perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Would come back in a heartbeat. I have no idea where the negative reviews on this site came from. August 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ZYYANG Great location and nice stuff It was a good experience staying at Westin. Great location and very nice stuff. Definitely will choose Westin to stay if we come to Paris again. Love Paris and this hotel! August 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by globetrotters Great hotel in a fabulous location. We have stayed at this hotel about 3 times. The last was for a birthday celebration. The staff upgraded us, as a platinum, to a room with a gorgeous view of Paris! It was fabulous! Looking out at the scenery from Le Louvre all the way down to La Defense! The beds are always comfortable, the rooms, the lobby and the garden restaurant are lovely. The hotel has a desk for gold and platinum check in which is a nice touch. The location of the hotel is great, especially if you are new to Paris. It is conveniently located in the middle of all the touristy areas. We have stayed at several hotels in Paris and this is by far the best place we have stayed for location... and a great hotel. We hope to return again and again... love Paris and this hotel is comfortable, convenient, and everything we need for a stay in this beautiful city. August 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TGall Weekend in Paris Great location. Within walking distance to Metro, number of museums, etc. Park across the street is a great place to go for a run. Recommend a B&B package if you plan to eat at the hotel or use your SPG gift for breakfast. Unfortuneately there is no executive lounge. They have a SPA but never went. August 26, 2013

A Colorado Supreme Court office is investigating whether two former Larimer County prosecutors engaged in ethical misconduct in building the 1999 murder case against Tim Masters, according to sources involved in the inquiry.
The Supreme Court's Office of Attorney Regulation is examining issues ranging from the withholding of evidence to potential conflicts of interest involving Terry Gilmore and Jolene Blair, who prosecuted Masters for the 1987 slaying of Peggy Hettrick. Both are now district judges in Larimer County.
The case against Masters, who spent almost a decade behind bars, was dropped last week after a judge ruled that forensic evidence excludes him as the source of DNA on Hettrick's clothing.

About the series
In December, Adams County District Attorney Don Quick, appointed special prosecutor over Masters' innocence bid, concluded that Gilmore and Blair violated state discovery rules by failing to provide the defense with key evidence — such as an FBI profiler's criticisms of the theory — that probably would have benefited Masters at trial.
The Supreme Court office moved to investigate the case on its own accord, without receiving a complaint, sources said.
If probable cause of a violation is found against either or both of the former prosecutors, a panel headed by the Supreme Court's presiding disciplinary judge would ultimately determine whether Gilmore and Blair violated professional standards. Possible penalties range from a private reprimand to license suspension.
Gilmore declined to comment. Blair did not return a phone message.
"I'm willing to cooperate with any investigative body," said Masters attorney David Wymore, who repeatedly accused Gilmore and Blair of conflicts last year while waging a post-conviction appeal to free his client. Among his concerns: their social ties to the deceased Dr. Richard Hammond, a potential suspect Fort Collins authorities never disclosed to Masters' original defense team.
Gilmore had been a dinner guest at Hammond's home, while Blair had been a patient at his eye clinic and attended his church. The DA's office later authorized the destruction of physical evidence tied to Hammond's secret tapings of women using a bathroom in his house.
The Supreme Court regulatory office investigates about 150 complaints a year against prosecutors, records show. Typically, nine out of 10 are dismissed.
The investigation into the Masters case marks the fourth outside inquiry prompted by his bid for a new trial that ultimately led to his freedom and the setting aside of his conviction.
Also, the Weld County district attorney is looking into whether the investigator who built the case against Masters committed perjury, and the Colorado attorney general's office on Tuesday accepted Gov. Bill Ritter's appointee to take over the probe into Hettrick's slaying.

'So You Think You Can Dance' Winners Chosen: TV Recap
Tonight's the night we pick the winning two dancers on "So You Think You Can Dance," – the final boy and the final girl.
It's down to Tiffany, Eliana, Cyrus and Chehon. My pick is for Eliana and Chehon. Although it would have been Cole, had he not been wrongly eliminated.
Bring on six judges from the whole season – Lil' C, choreographer Adam Shankman, the legend Debbie Allen, choreographer Tyce Diorio as well as Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe.
We have a big group routine with former dancers. Then the judges get to pick which routines they want to see again. Nigel picks the Travis Wall routine based on Titanic to "Unchained Melody," Audrey and Matthew dance it beautifully.
Lil' C picks a piece that says showed rhythmic versatility and diversity, with Witney and tWitch and "Swagography."
Debbie picks a Sonya routine "Turning Page," that shows the range and depth of the dancers and the choreography. It's danced by Tiffany and George.
(Note, there are no comments from judges after these dances)
Adam chooses a Pasodouble with Cole and Lindsay that was amazing, where Lindsay was the cape. Adam says Cole was an actual superhero in the piece. I think this was my favorite piece of the whole season, it's just so furious and passionate and sexy.
Tyce picks the "Lovecats," piece where he says he just got lost in the dancing. It's with will and Amelia and it's definitely a fun, light romp.
Mary Murphy wants to see the dance about the Holocaust that revolved around a single suitcase and a sense of despair. Chehon and Catherine made everyone cry last time with this one.
The final dancers get to pick too. We go straight to Eliana, who wants to dance the "Bang Bang" duet she did Alex that's very slow and powerful. The lighting here is really interesting with the red glow.
Nigel says Eliana is his favorite dancer because she's got maturity and yet can be goofy. He says that everyone had her on the top of the list.
Tiffany and Brendon's disco mix comes up next – with 11 lifts. This was not really my favorite because it was more about him than her.
Chehon wants to do the tango with all-star Anya. He has some great leaps in the beginning. He just gets so high. Mary says it's a treat to see that dance and that Chehon has been amazing since they saw him.
Now there's a hip-hop/animation foursome about poker with tWitch, Comfort and Cyrus and Christopher Scott. People are going crazy in the audience.
Tiffany picked "the Power of Love" with Ade. I love the helicopter spin but am still distracted by Celine Dion. Mary says Tiffany has done everything asked of her and more.
Dragonhouse performs – the group that Cyrus came with, but he's the only one who made it through. If you like animation dance, you should check it out. It's like superheroes in slow motion.
Filler time. Carly Rae Jepsen of "Call Me Maybe" fame? Where is Psy? It would have been awesome to have all the dancers go "Gangnam Style!"
Cyrus brings us no surprise – his duet with tWitch. Love the part where they break through the glass. Cryus says he always tried to be himself. Nigel says he stole the show with that routine and stole the season with his enthusiasm and energy. Nigel got slammed this past week for saying that he was going to vote for Chehon.
Time to find out the winners! Well, no shockers there.
Winning female dancer is Eliana.
Winning male dancer is Chehon.
So what did you think? Did the right people win? What was your favorite routine? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

GEN's editor in chief, John Sterling, interviews life science academic and biotech industry leaders on important research, technology, and trends. These podcasts will keep you informed with all the important details you need.
Studying a protein already known to play an important role in type 2 diabetes and cancer, genomics researchers have discovered that it may have an even broader role in disease, particularly in other metabolic disorders and heart disease. In finding unsuspected links to other disease-related genes, the scientists, who reported on their work online July 17 in the British journal Diabetologia, may have identified future targets for drug treatments.
During this week's podcast study leader Dr. Struan Grant talks about the TCF7L2 protein and the role it plays in the human body. He discusses the linkage between the protein and diabetes and cancer and explains how his team discovered a role for TCF7L2 in other metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
Dr. Grant also goes over the reasons why it might be more feasible to develop new drugs aimed at proteins encoded by specific gene classes regulated by TCF7L2 than focusing on the protein itself.
Dr. Struan Grant is a faculty member of the Division of Human Genetics at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and within the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He obtained both his undergraduate degree and Ph.D. at the University of Aberdeen, U.K., in the area of osteoporosis genetics. He went on to a post-doctoral position at the Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia, before joining the biotech sector where he worked for approximately eight years. Dr Grant's current work continues to primarily focus on whole-genome analyses of complex traits, with a specific focus on obesity, diabetes, and bone accrual in children, using approaches including GWAS and ChIP-seq.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

If it weren't for the tsunami that followed, Japan and its high-tech infrastructure would have come out of its mammoth 9.0 level earthquake with flying colors. But what about Seattle? We get earthquakes here. Hell, the Seattle Fault runs directly through the city. Turns out that things probably wouldn't have gone so well if the Big One had hit here.
Quoting from a KQED interview with the Tom Brocher, director of the Earthquake Science Center at the U.S. Geological Survey:
A magnitude 9.0 or above quake in the Pacific Northwest is expected. Those quakes, which are the product of vast and deep faults, are characterized by their severity and the duration of shaking when they strike . . . A quake in the 9.0 range occurs in the Pacific Northwest region every 300--500 years. The last one was in 1700, which scientists know because of a tsunami that was recorded in Japan at the time.
Turns out that a 2008 study concluded that some 1,000 buildings in Seattle--especially older brick buildings, pre-1930--could topple in a strong (6.7 or stronger) earthquake. A 9.0 monster would be devastating.
The Seattle Fault runs directly through Seattle and Bellevue, and is thus considered the most likely culprit of a potential major earthquake in the area.
And at 300 years since the last big 'un, we're about due.
That's probably the reason that Seattle hotels come with these buttons in the elevators.

By Andrew SachaisNEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The chaos that has hit the markets recently highlights the importance of program trading and volatility. When enough variables shape up to signal a bearish environment, heavy selloffs are the result.
Although we have yet to experience major equity selloffs and a break of the uptrend, the U.S. market is positioning defensively. Utility stocks, as measured by the Utilities SPDR (XLU) ETF, have been outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) recently, which signals the flight to stability over risk. Another indicator is the iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM) over the iShares Russell 1000 Index (IWB). This ratio correlates positively with risk assets, and has shown major weakness lately. Again, equities have yet to falter considerably but the intermarket trends signal an impending intermediate bearish turn. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

For Science, You monster"Doctor, they are approaching. You need to evacuate. The population in the city is down to 10%. My statistics show that at least 40% have been infected and the rest have either died or fled."
The high pitched, automated voice echoed among the alarms and sirens that went off through the compound. The screens that lined the wall conveyed an emergency broadcast and lights flickered in ominous hues of red. However, the woman in the lab coat remained in the same focused pose as she worked on some numbers and formulas.
"Doctor McKay, they are on the second floor. Please head to the nearest exit. This situation has a 0% chance of survival."
"For the love of god, just shut up."
"God is an entity whose presence is questionable doctor. I can't have a feeling about it without interacting first."

Escaping Father I"Whoever brings her to my feet will be my new right hand!"
Her heart sunk at the words, her gaze shifting between the man who spoke and the knights who were also looking at him in a state of pure shock.
"You heard me, what are you waiting for?" he said again, pointing his finger at her. They weren't that far apart, her horse only a few feet ahead of his as they moved through the forest, enjoying a normal hunting trip, or so she had thought.
"Father, you can't be serious," she muttered, nudging her horse to move further away from him. "I don't understand father, am I not your only heir?"
He didn't answer, merely stared at her, his fingers trailing the diamond hilt of his sword, a dark smirk crossing his lips.
"Run!" she yelled at the horse, dashing through the forest, trying to escape the knights who gave chase. The sun slowly disappeared as she entered the darker parts of foliage. The low branches scraped at her face and clung to her cloak as she plunged deeper
Ave,It's never enough for him,
she'll always be the punching bag
he enjoys to torture so.
Even when he's not around,
his cruelty never fades.
His twisted morals don't allow him to let her go.
He drops off the face of the earth,
a month or two, even more,
but the million memories are still there,
battling, struggling and ripping her
from the inside out,
a massacre within her heart.
With a thousand thoughts in her mind,
and the burning ache in her soul
she holds her pride to her throat,
ready to let her boiling blood pour.
Only then he comes back,
to renew his vows, to reignite
the longing, the sorrow, the so called love.
He took her for granted, that was his sole fault.
He stands aside, envious of her smile, though,
she's no longer his, and her eyes look the other way
while she shares a dance with another man.
She's no longer the wreck he worked so hard to create,
she now soars in skies he can't even dream to reach.
She sees him, but doesn't care,
behind his fanged smile and cold glare
This poetry is short, but impressive Keep it on!
your short poems are very poignant <3
Short and lovely
Indeed. It is the memories of a life well lived that haunt us the most. You'll get hurt in life and the memories will sting, but if you haven't had to pick yourself up once or twice you haven't lived. Falling down only forces us to climb higher than we ever thought possible. And we will climb, with the bitter reminders of memories lulling us off to sleep at night, but knowing in the end that we left no questions unanswered and no way we'd rather have gone.
Thank you, that's a very nice interpretation and rather accurate as well. I'm glad you enjoyed this short pieceof mine
Ah memories, the bitter truth slays us all... love this piece!
Memories can often be like a kick in the gut. I think you summed it up well here.
Incredible.... xx
thank you how have you been? long time no see
Short. On the point. Amazing.
I really like this and your DLR was well deserved!

i never sleep well. or take things seriously
sleep is overrated anyway
Like a shiv to an ever-healing psyche. Memories can be sadists.
why thank you o'great master

The Broncos are back to just one Bailey brother.
Linebacker Boss Bailey, the younger brother of cornerback Champ Bailey, was released by the team Wednesday.
Bailey, who signed with the Broncos as a free agent in 2008, was a starter in six games last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury Oct. 20.
He had microfracture surgery and spent the entire offseason rehabbing the knee in Denver with team doctors and trainers.
But he was not healthy enough to practice with the Broncos in any of their voluntary camps for organized team activities.
"I wasn't really surprised by it. I understand how the business goes," Bailey said. "It's a business call. I appreciate everything they've done for me since I've been here. Once you're a Bronco, you're always a Bronco."
Bailey, 29, said he still has some work to do to be ready to play for another team this season.
"He was totally professional in his approach and the way he handled himself here," coach Josh McDaniels said. "We felt it was the right thing to do for the player, to have the opportunity to latch on to another team by August."
Bailey received a $4.3 million bonus when he signed his five-year contract with the Broncos in March 2008.
He received a $2 million roster bonus this March and was expected to receive a $100,000 workout bonus. He ended up making a total of $7.15 million during his time in Denver.
Bailey made 44 tackles — including 13 in a game against Tampa Bay — and had one fumble recovery in his six games last season.
He said the opportunity to be a starter on the same NFL defense as his brother Champ is an experience he will never forget.
"I'm excited to have had that chance," Bailey said.
Bailey will count $4.645 million against the Broncos' salary cap, but the move to release him saves the team $895,000 in cash this year.
Media guide coverup.
For the second consecutive year, the Broncos' media guide will not feature a current player on the cover.
The 2009 edition commemorates the franchise's 50th season and shows the evolution of the team's helmets from the original brown and white model in 1960 to the current navy blue version.
The team's 2008 media guide had Hall of Fame offensive tackle Gary Zimmerman, who was inducted in Canton, Ohio, last August, on its cover.
Marshall update.
Disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be back on a football field today, but it's not the one Broncos fans are hoping for.
Marshall is expected to attend his youth football camp, called "Camp 15," at Overland High School in Aurora. The camp runs today and Friday.
Marshall was a no-show at the team's Dove Valley headquarters for the final three weeks of the voluntary offseason program and for the mandatory minicamp last weekend. His agent has said Marshall asked to be traded.
Teammates remain hopeful, though, that Marshall and team officials will figure out a way to keep the Broncos' No. 1 receiver in Denver.
"Not much has been said about it. I'm sure the receivers talk about it more than we do," veteran center Casey Wiegmann said. "It doesn't affect us too much. But, yeah, we definitely want Brandon on the field.
"We all know the talent he has. We definitely want him out there and (to) learn our new offense, and I think he'll be happy about it."

Train London to Canterbury
We are considering a day trip from London to Canterbury by train. There are two stations in Canterbury and which one we arrive into doesn't seem to matter. We plan to arrive late morning, take a look around, have lunch, visit the sights, have afternoon tea and head back to London.
Has anyone done this? Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!

According to a new report, almost 3 out of 4 Californians who have gone to solar power have chosen a solar power service over buying their own system outright.
Sunrun, the largest home solar company in the nation, and PV Solar report found that solar power services accounted for 73.4% of California solar users.
Sunrun began its solar power service back in 2007 as a way to make solar energy more affordable to the average homeowner. Traditional home systems can cost as much as $30,000, not including the upkeep to the system itself. What Sunrun does is install the panels (the company maintains ownership of the panels), provide maintenance on the panels, and then allows the consumer to lock in on a guaranteed rate of power which is produced by the cheapest fuel source known to man – the sun.
This model, also known as solar leasing, is actually becoming quite popular throughout the U.S. In fact, later this year, another solar leasing company, SolarCity, is expected to go public.
According to the PV Solar Report, third party-owned solar skyrocketed by 174% in the first two months of 2012 compared to the first two months of 2011. In 2012 alone solar services have generated $100 million in growth for the California economy.
"Every consumer in today's economy is looking for ways to save money, and now they can do that with a solar panel option that allows them to make the switch without owning the panels," PV Solar Report's founder and managing director Stephen Torres explained.

text: I got an old road bike for commuting and i dont like drop bars so i put an airwing on it. i have downtube shifters and thought i could just get an adapter, run cables up to the bar and put on some rapidfire shifters, but I found that they are designed only for mountain bikes which are of a different diameter. Does anyone know of a usable shifter that will fit onto a tri-style handlebar? I dont want bar end shifters because that is where my brakes are. I would be OK with "modifying" some rapid fire shifters if it was an elegant fix. Thanks!

Ames Laboratory, Iowa Waste Reduction Center win award for improving virtual reality spray paint training software09/27/2012
Spray paint training and designing next-generation power plants don't seem, at first glance, to have much to do with one another. But, the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory recently partnered with the Iowa Waste Reduction Center at the University of Northern Iowa to improve spray paint training using a virtual engineering software toolkit. The software enhancements have recently won a regional Federal Laboratory Consortium award for applying federal developed technology to industry needs.

I've always wanted to visit this lighthouse, but it was either too foggy or we were in too much of a rush

Gov. Jerry Brown set the state's ambitious goal to have half its electricity come from renewable sources by 2030 last month, after noting that utilities were already on track to meet the state's previous goal.
Navigant Research anticipates that small-scale solar, wind, and other forms of electricity will increase from 87.3 gigawatts of capacity around the world in 2014 to 165.5 gigawatts in just nine years.

I'm not against technology, I love it, I have a blog and an account on every one of the aforementioned apps! However, being a Southerner just because you love technology doesn't mean you get to throw away old traditional values. For example, how a gentleman asks a lady out. I know thanks to Tinder, Match, OK Cupid, Bumble, and Farmers Only (haha) guys expect a girl to just appear right in front of them for all of their immediate needs and then they're onto the next one. It's like the Dominoes of dating. Well guess what? I'm not a delivery service. These apps have already made it SO EASY to meet women but just don't get lazy! Ladies aren't interested in LAZY boys. We like MEN!
I'm so tired of guys throwing their number at me like I'm supposed to call THEM and initiate conversation. Good luck with that. So what I'm going to do is share the common mistakes guys are making and the proper way to set them straight! The proper way to ask out a lady... a "how to" if you will.
(I want to preface this with don't wait too long to ask her out. She doesn't want to be pen pals aka text buddies with you for 2 weeks. Pull the trigger already. She WILL lose interest)
1. ASK FOR HER NUMBER!I know it's 2014 but I'm from the South. That means I'm a little old fashioned but the fact still remains the same, men are hunters and men do the picking. Unless you want to be in charge your entire relationship and call the shots I suggest making him work for your number, actually ask for it, and call YOU!
When guys give you their number it's either a tactic guys have to avoid rejection or a blow off... either way I hate it. Guys should be asking for your number. Remember if he isn't calling, he's just not that into you.
Listen up guys! Have some confidence, grow a pair, be a man, and ask for HER number! Trust me, rejection is worth it when the girl you want gives you her number. You'll come across in a much more mature, manly, confident light. You'll start off a few steps ahead because you took charge. Girls like that shit.
SET HIM STRAIGHT! If he's one of the many guys that throws his number at you there's still a chance. Simply have a cute little remark ready and fire back. I will either go with a witty sarcastic remark like, "Let me know how that works out for you." or "You didn't think it'd be that easy did you?" if I'm feeling fiesty or I'll turn on my cute and sweet southern charm by saying, "Thanks so much for your number but I'm from the South and we do things a little different - wink wink..." you can add more onto it but they usually get the hint (if they're smart). It's like a light bulb goes off. Like oh yeah, duh.
Also, this helps to set the record straight that you're not in fact desperate, you don't care that much because there are plenty of fish in the sea, you could take it or leave it, and that most importantly you're a lady and expect to be treated like one. It will most definitely set you apart from the other girls. You can come up with your own flirtatious response but 90% of the time he will ask for your number. If he doesn't, he's not the type of guy you want to be involved with anyways.
This doesn't mean 30 minutes before or the day of. This means at least 2 days notice. I absolutely LOVE it when a guy calls me on a Monday to see how my week looks. It shows how considerate he is and that he's a planner. I know most guys don't plan but fake it til' you make it guys.
Plus, girls like to get ready for a date.... especially a first date! They do a lot of little extra things. Like tan, whiten their teeth, make sure their hair is done (maybe even visit a salon), get a mani/pedi, have the maids/cleaners come so the house looks nice, make sure the yard is done, go shopping for a new outfit (spend $)... I mean the list goes on and on. Be aware of these things!
Same goes with having to cancel. If for some crazy reason you must cancel, please keep in mind that she's done these things in advance. Be considerate and try to give her as much notice as possible... not the day of or 30 minutes before. If you cancel the day of or 30 minutes before it had better be a life threatening emergency or you will most likely never talk to this girl EVER again.
3. CALL HER!F*ing CALL HER! Why get the number if you're not going to call? Just to text all day? Again, I know I'm old fashioned and you and your new lady can text all day but when it comes to asking her out pick up the phone and call her! She will appreciate that!
Just because you call her on Monday for a Friday date doesn't mean you have to have everything planned out - you're just putting feelers out there to nail down a day. Once you nail down a day tell her you'll call her back when you figure out the details. At this time it's okay to ask her what she prefers between option A or B or if she likes a certain type of food. Under no circumstance do you say, "So what do you want to do?". You're the man. Right? You ask her out! You make the plans!
And a word to the wise... make a reservation. There is nothing worse than going to a restaurant and having to wait 45 minutes. It shows that the guy doesn't pay attention to detail, he's not considerate, and that the lady isn't that important. You'll make an excellent impression and seem uber professional if you have a reservation.
(ok I'm going to preface this with I know there are some girls out there asking for FWB so this mainly applies to the classy ladies you meet, although I do think no matter what everyone should be treated nicely)
*DON'T BE A D BAG! Don't ask to trade pics, share pics, send pics, for a pic, for a selfie, for naked pictures... whatever! Just. Don't. Do. It. Don't ask for my snap chat and don't' be a creeper!!! You sound ridiculous especially if you're over 30. Yuck! If you've met online, I'll assure you the lady is hitting the block button as you read this. If you have her number, I'm guessing she'll politely decline and then eventually do the fade away. If you're not dating exclusively this is inappropriate. We all know what you're trying to do.
*DON'T ASK WHEN SHE'S FREE! Just ask her out! I think this tactic is to avoid rejection but it's one of my pet peeves. A guy will ask when are you free? When this week, this weekend, this month? Be specific! Why can't you just say, Hey are you available on Thursday or Friday. Grow a pair! Be a MAN!

About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
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.

Cool! This worked. I got an error message at the end but when I hooked my Apple TV back up I had the update and mirroring is working.
Days & nights of frustration, trying most everything & studying up on this. I've read above posts, tried all repeatedly except itty bitty cord I don't have. So ready to be able to mirror my 4S. ***
Finally gotrdone on 2nd attempt with mini usb method mentioned by previous posters. Thx y'all
FWIW, I had the same issue with the "No update" showing. I left the ATV unplugged when I went out to buy a micro USB cable -- which I decided not to buy at Staples for $19 when I know that monoprice has them for .95 (don't even get me started on what Monster wanted to charge for their cable). Anyway, I went home and plugged it back in (it had been at least 24 hours) and after it booted it saw the update to 4.4.2 available. Don't know if this will work for anyone else or if I just got lucky...
Attached ATV to my iMac using only a micro usb cable and hey pongo it's worked! BTW, I purchased the cable from Amazon £0.75 inc free delivery!

White Lightning Wet Ride 8oz Bottle
Wet Ride is a thicker, heavier bodied lubricant that is totally waterproof. Wet Ride is made using only premium synthetic oils and water repelling polymers. The result is a lubricant with unmatched film strength.
Wet Ride eliminates drivetrain noise, it delivers super smooth shifts, unmatched lubrication intervals, and total protection against water.
This lube is fantastic for the wet conditions of the Pacific Northwest. Highly recommended!
This lube is working great. It attracts dust, which is annoying, but it isn't made for dusty conditions; if you live in dusty conditions don't even think about it, just get epic ride or dry ride. I haven't had a chance to really try it in wet conditions, because ever since I got it the weather has gotten better, but it is doing a very good job lubing. I would definitely recommend this, as long as you don't live in dusty conditions.

Review Summary
- 8 on-site restaurants
- Directly on a beautiful beach
- Multiple huge, beautifully designed pools
- All-inclusive plan includes a la carte restaurnts, room service, basic Wi-Fi, and gratuities
- Kid-friendly, with a Kids' Club
- Modern in-room amenities, including flat-screen TVs
- Waves and tide are typically too rough for swimming
- Removed from Cabo's nightlife scene
Bottom Line
A great family-friendly option for Los Cabos, the 619-suite all-inclusive Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos offers guests a decent variety of activities and facilities. For the young ones, there's the kids water park, kiddy pool, and kids' club. For the adults, the on-site spa, relaxing adult-only pools, and swim-up bar in the infinity pool are definite perks. Although the beach isn't swim-friendly due to rough waves, the pools offer more than enough space for taking a dip. Suites are spacious and luxurious, and echo the hotel's overall vibe -- big, clean, and modern. They also come with marble bathrooms, soaking tubs, and patios or balconies. The property was rebranded as a Hyatt in late 2013 and will be undergoing renovations in 2014.
