I have now seen Mr. Tommy Wiseau's cinematic tour-de-force, 'The Room' three times. With each viewing, 'The Room' becomes more complexly entangled in and inseparable from my own life. I no longer know where The Room ends and I begin. It is, without question, the worst film ever made. But this comment is in no way meant to be discouraging. Because while The Room is the worst movie ever made it is also the greatest way to spend a blisteringly fast 100 minutes in the dark. Simply put, 'The Room' will change your life. It's not just the dreadful acting or the sub-normal screenplay or the bewildering direction or the musical score so soaked in melodrama that you will throw up on yourself or the lunatic-making cinematography; no, there is something so magically wrong with this movie that it can only be the product of divine intervention. If you took the greatest filmmakers in history and gave them all the task of purposefully creating a film as spectacularly horrible as this not one of them, with all their knowledge and skill, could make anything that could even be considered as a contender. Not one line or scene would rival any moment in The Room. The centerpiece of this filmic holocaust is Mr. Tommy Wiseau himself. Without him, it would still be the worst movie ever made, but with him it is the greatest worst movie ever made. Tommy has been described as a Cajun, a Croatian cyborg, possibly from Belgium, clearly a product of Denmark, or maybe even not from this world or dimension. All of these things are true at any one moment. He is a tantalizing mystery stuffed inside an enigma wrapped in bacon and smothered in cheese. You will fall in love with this man even as you are repelled by him from the first moment he steps onto screen with his long Louis the Fourteenth style black locks and thick triangular shoulders packed into an oddly fitting suit, and his metallic steroid destroyed skin. Tommy looks out of place, out of time and out of this world. There has never been anything else like him. Nor will there ever be. The Room begins with 'Johnny' (Tommy Wiseau) and his incomprehensibly evil fiancée 'Lisa' (played by a woman with incongruously colored eyebrows and a propensity for removing her shirt) engaging in some light frottage, joined by, Denny, (played with a deft sense of the absurd by Phillip Haldiman), their sexually confused teenage neighbor who is clearly suffering from a form of aged decrepitude. When Denny, who looks like the human version of Gleek the monkey from Superfriends, says, in a slightly creepy yet playful tone of voice, 'I like to watch!' as Johnny and Lisa roll around the bed in a pre-intercourse ritual revolving around rose petals, you know you are in for a very special movie. After a lengthy lovemaking scene (not to worry if you miss it the first time, they show it again in its entirety later in the movie) in which Tommy's bizarre scaly torso and over-anatomized rear-end are lovingly depicted over and over again as he appears to hump Lisa's hip, we discover that Lisa, for no particular reason, has become bored with Tommy's incessant lovemaking and decides to leave him. Just when you think the movie might lapse into an ordinary, pedestrian sort of badness, Johnny's best friend Mark, a man who's job seems to be to wear James Brolin's beard from Amityville Horror, shows up and electrifies the screen with a performance so wooden that it belongs in the lumber section of Home Depot. Incidentally, Mark is played by Greg Sestero, who, in addition to being described as a department store mannequin, was also the line producer on 'The Room' and one of Tommy Wiseau's five (5!!!!!) assistants on the movie. Lisa forces Mark, amid his paltry, unconvincing protests, to have an affair with her on their uncomfortable circular stairs. For no apparent reason Lisa decides that she is made of pure evil and wants to torture her angelic and insanely devoted fiancé, Johnny. Lisa receives pointed advice from her mother who casually announces that she is dying of breast cancer and then never mentions it again. But Lisa is determined to make Johnny's life a living hell, in spite of the fact that she, according to her mother, "cannot survive on her own in the cutthroat 'computer business'". But not before they recycle the sex scene from earlier in the movie where we get another bird's eye view of Johnny's ludicrous naked body. Denny gets into trouble with a drug dealer. Mark shaves his beard. Tommy gets drunk on an unusual cocktail made from mixing whiskey and vodka. Lisa lies and tells everyone that Tommy hit her in a drunken rage. A balding psychologist appears out of nowhere, offers some advice, then apparently dies while softly falling on the ground in an attempt to catch a football thrown by Mark. All of these seemingly disparate events build up to two cathartic moments. The first is when Tommy expressively yells at Lisa with the line 'You are tearing me apart Lisa!'. You will cheer at this line as you realize that the film has been tearing you apart the whole time. And the second is at Tommy's birthday party where the worst actor that has ever been born plays a unidentified man wearing a silk shirt who utters a phrase that perfectly describes the experience of watching The Room, 'It feels like I'm sitting on atom bomb that is going to explode!' The shocking ending will leave you pleading for some kind of sequel. See this film at all costs. See it twice. Or three times. Or as one kid that I met from Woodland Hills has, 12 times! See it until you can recite every precious line of dialogue this movie has to offer. Let The Room become your new religion and Tommy Wiseau your prophet preaching the gospel according to Johnny. My dream is to someday buy a theater and run The Room 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the print disintegrates. I hope it becomes your dream as well.
You know that foreign exchange student from high school who used to creep out all the girls with his clumsy leering and broken-English pick-up lines? Well, he's all grown up and somebody gave him money to make a film. Tommy Wiseau, whose accent could best be described as "half-drunk Croatian cyborg", stars as Johnny, the man with the most sculpted ass in all of San Francisco. His girlfriend Lisa, played by oft-topless Juliette Danielle, seduces his best friend, played by department store mannequin Greg Sestero. To go any farther with the plot would be overdignifying this laugh-out-loud crapfest. Imagine a two-hour episode of "Red Shoe Diaries" written and directed by Balki from "Perfect Strangers". Trust me, this is the worst movie you will ever see ever in your entire life. Ever. But is it pathetically awful or sadistically hilarious? What you think will depend on your life experiences and viewpoint. But we can all agree, it's a big, steaming nut-filled turd.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
OK, that may be a stretch, but I have inside knowledge into the facts. You
see, I was fortunate enough to have worked on the film. As I read the
reviews here, especially the last one, which I am sure was written by our
amazing Director/Actor/Producer/Writer, I felt I had to respond. Having
dubious honor of saying I worked on this film, has also brought with it
responsibility of telling the truth about what happened on set. Apparently
Tommy had a lot of money sitting around and decided he needed to make a
film. Not being able to decide what to shoot, film or video, we shot both.
Side by side. Both cameras on the same head, being operated by one camera
operator. We shot almost the whole thing in the parking lot and back
shed (read- sound stage) of a camera rental house in Hollywood. I got the
call to work on the show after they had already tried to start with
crew that ended up all being dismissed. I believe that we ended up being
crew 2 of 4. The show never had much organization to it from the start. We
were told it would be a 3 week shoot. At the end of 3 weeks we were
1/2 way done. Crew calls were usually 8 a.m. tommy would show up around
10:30 or 11. Because he would take the HD video camera home with him every
night, we had no choice but to wait for him. Since we were only in one
or outside the door in the parking lot, we did not have anything to do but
sit around and wait every day. When Tommy arrived we would have to see if
was in actor mode or director mode. If he was in actor mode, you were not
allowed to talk to him so he could "stay in character." Since he was in
almost every scene, he was always in his "actor" mode. This also meant
he could not direct. Noting the huge delays every day and the fact that we
were never seeming to get anything done, our wonderful script supervisor
stepped up and became the director...at least he tried. One day he had to
off and do another show and asked if anyone else wanted to step up and
direct and keep some script notes. When nobody volunteered, I stepped up.
loved it. It was my directorial genius that had tommy bump into Lisa as
were taking the bad guy off the roof! I will also take credit for the now
famous line "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!" In the first 10 takes, tommy
kept saying "You are TAKING me apart!" As the crew tried to keep it
together, I felt I should right the situation and corrected the line. The
crew was also instrumental in keeping the chicken line in.
CHEEP, CHEEP, CHEEP, CHEEP!" We begged our scripty/director to keep him
doing it take after take.
Though the crew ultimately followed the original DP out the door and
we are all proud to have taken part in the making of this film. Amongst
film crew realms, we are minor celebrities. "Dude, you worked on that
thing?" is a phrase that is often heard when The Room is mentioned.
I have the pleasure of driving through Hollywood every day and still seei ng the billboard for the film up and Tommy glaring at me as if to say, "I telled you I could make movie." For those looking for a photo op, it's on Highland, a few blocks south of Sunset. I know that tommy took out an ad in the trade papers asking "For Your Consideration", I only wished that I could see him on stage accepting an Academy Award. It would be well earned. Rumor has it that he has a vampire film in the works... let's hope so... I only hope I get the opportunity to work on it. I can only hope that The Room becomes a cult classic with midnight showings. I'll put my tux on and bring a football. Perhaps I'll stand up for a Q&A afterward and tell the stories I have so fondly tried to burn from my memory. My other dream is for the DVD. There are 100's of hours of behind the scenes footage out there. The camera for the behind the scenes material was always recording. ALWAYS! It will be awesome to see what took place on our set. I hope he puts it out there. I know I would buy several copies for all my friends and family.
Any questions?
Forget all the three-line raves this movie has received (which all
seem to be suspiciously similar in tone). THE ROOM is one of
those rare laugh-riots that is so fantastically inept as to border on
genius. While most bad movies offer a handful of terrible scenes
divided by stretches of just plain dull, writer-director-producer-star
Tommy Wiseau's film offers one moment of disaster after another.
Whether it's the made-up-by-fifth-graders dialogue, the deer-in-headlights performances, or the positively icky sex scenes (love those smushed rose petals on the chubby girl's back), you'll be howling from start to finish.
This movie has already amassed a cult of people who know what to yell at the screen and when; for a movie that's being self-distributed, this rates as some kind of crap-movie miracle.
Keep an eye out for the pointless insert shots of San Francisco, which give the idea of time passing even when it doesn't: one party scene, for example, features eight of these cut-aways.
You really can't believe how terrible THE ROOM is, but at least it's entertaining, albeit in ways that the lazy-eyed, odd-bodied, English-mangling auteur never imagined. Not to be missed.
This film is completely worth seeing. A friend of mine recently said it
was as if a deer made a movie about human interaction, unable to
comprehend what it is to be a human being. It is hilarious.
It is also funny how many people actually see this as a real movie, and take the acting, story, and dialogue seriously. It's a sad testament to the state of intelligence of some, but that doesn't detract from the movies awful redemption.
There was no way this was made as a 'black comedy' on purpose. The ineptness present in ALL aspects of the film could only come about through an attempt to put Tommy's own high-school angsty experiences (probably) on tape. When the reviews trashed the movie, he pulled a Paul Ruebens "I meant to do that". The denial of the films obvious serious beginnings add even more hilarity. Tommy, we are laughing at you, not with you. Thank you for that.
Tommy Wiseau ranks among the greats: Spielberg, Scorcese, Griffith, &
Welles. In THE ROOM, he has created a piece of cinema that has no
parallels. It is a unique piece of artistic greatness.
Let's first discuss Mr. Wiseau's expert crafting of dramatic tension. Denny, the slightly mentally retarded 20-year-old, wants to watch Johnny and Lisa make sweet love. Denny also frequently acts like a brain-damaged Golden Retriever in that he continually wants to play catch with a football, even though everyone only stands 6 feet apart. Denny eventually gets involved with drugs and has to confront the hate-filled Chris-R (and there is no logical reason why the character has a hyphen in his name so don't ask). Johnny nobly comes out of nowhere to provide Denny salvation, and then this plot point is totally forgotten.
The best part of the movie is Mr. Wiseau's acting. He is leagues ahead of other contemporary actors. He is on par with DeNiro in Raging Bull, Nicholson in Easy Rider, and Brando in Streetcar. He delivers his lines as if he IS Johnny, the All-American guy who is trying to stay on the wagon and can't get that promotion at work. He clearly has been well-trained in Method Acting. His Croatian-Serbian-Norwegian-Klingon-Mongolian-Yugoslavian accent is barely noticeable when he delivers lines such as `You're tearing me apart, Lisa' and `I treat you like a princess but you stab me in the back.' You feel Johnny's pain as he becomes a regular MacGyver and hooks up a tape recorder that is able to record for 24 hours straight. His laugh (ha-ha-ha) comes off as natural as can be. When you think JOHNNY, you think All-American guy. The fact that Mr. Wiseau is over sixty years of age and may be on some kind of horse tranquilizer for much of the movie is not an issue.
In the trailers for THE ROOM, it is mentioned that Mr. Wiseau's directing and writing evoke Tennessee Williams, and a truer statement has never been made. You can feel the passion when Johnny transforms himself into Frankenstein and proceeds to destroy his room, moving at a very slow speed. It is as if he is saying to the viewer, `Stella!!' except Mr. Wiseau does not need to say it verbally. He says it through his emaciated skin which has seen better days and through his jet-black hair which is clearly his natural color. Even though the Room takes place in San Francisco, it is as if Blanche DuBois is saying to us, `Johnny, you are a real American, because you play football and say ch-ch-chicken.'
On the musical front, the shifting from a mysterious moody orchestral score to straight-up R&B ably shows Mr. Wiseau's ability to blend different styles musically in order to create a unified mood in his movie. On the sound front, the boom operator clearly did an excellent job as half of the lines in the beginning of the movie are dubbed in later, even though the filming takes place in a quiet room with no extraneous noise.
With regards to editing, Mr. Wiseau deftly uses cutaways to 30-second-long shots from different vantage points in San Francisco. He seems to be saying to the viewer, I hope you weren't interested in the dialogue, because now you will have to sit through 30 seconds of the same shot of the Golden Gate Bridge you've seen 10 times already, before we get back to the dramatic tension you were longing for.
Other attention to detail includes varying dates on how long Johnny and Lisa have been together (5 or 7 years), the switching from the day shots to night shots and then back to day shots on the same day, the fact that all of the men are dressed in tuxedos and decide to play football even though there is no justification for why they should be dressed in tuxedos, and using the exact same shots in the second love scene between Johnny and Lisa that are also used in the first love scene.
Overall, Mr. Wiseau has proven himself to be among the top-rank writers, directors, actors, editors, gaffers, love maker, action stars, and best boys of his generation. He has shown the ability to take any aspect of filmmaking and transcend it. He is able to take monkey poop and turn it into a well-polished turd. I hope to see many more films from Mr. Wiseau in the near future, and I hope that all of them will have Mr. Wiseau acting as well as new and better performances from the guy that played Denny (he rocks!!). To Mr. Wiseau, I say L'Chaim, and let's drink to much greater Cinema to come!!
Okay, honestly I had to review this film as a way to try and find some
understanding as to why it has such a cult following. I will say up
front that the one good thing about it was that it was screened on
35mm, but that is where the good points end. I hope this acts as the
first review that wasn't written by one of Tommy Wiseau's relatives or
some other close friend of his. Read the other reviews on IMDb and
you'll see what I mean.
What was this suppose to be? I saw "The Room" as part of the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival and from the program notes it was apparently supposed to be a black comedy. Huh? The only thing funny about it was how seriously the director and his cast took the project. The acting was terrible, even for low budget standards. The editing was something straight out of a soap opera rather than a full length feature with all it's generic establishing shots and sitcom-esque attempts at time passage.
The "love scenes" in this film, and I use that phrase loosely, are borderline nauseating. The actors are unattractive at best. It was like watching my parents get it on. However, it made me laugh. It made everybody laugh. But no one was laughing with this director's self proclaimed elaborate joke. Instead, most were laughing at how horrible it was one scene after another.
The bottom line is that Wiseau set out to make a deep, thought provoking film about betrayal and trust and all those common themes that many great films have explored. The problem comes in the fact that he failed so horribly that the finished product came off as funny and now he's acting like this is what he meant to have happen. This was not meant originally to be funny...it couldn't have been. I'm not buying it. This film was simply a big mistake that some people enjoy watching like a car accident out on the freeway.
If anyone actually watched this movie and walked out with just the notion that it was a "bad movie" they have absolutely no sense of humor... This movie is not a "bad movie," it is by far the worst movie ever made, and absolutely hilarious... It's not like bad movie hilarious where there's some really funny parts (funny for being bad) and the rest is boring... It's absolutely non-stop... My mouth dropped open and literally stayed that way for most of the movie... The sex scene, the completely nonsense drug dealer side story, the dialogue ("Hi, Doggy"), and best of all were Mark's attempts to stop Lisa from having sex with him ("hey... wait a minute... what are you doing... no, we can't do that")... I'm just happy I got a chance to see it, especially with a crowd of people that also "got it" ... I can't wait for the DVD...
Perhaps the best testament to the greatness of "The Room" is its utter
indescribability, its curiously strong resistance to mimetic,
second-hand description. Sure, you can easily sum up the banal, cliché
plot, or approximate the mind-bogglingly amateurish acting and the hole
filled, insanely convoluted, and just plain weird screenplay. You'll
make yourself laugh as you quote choice lines ("Hi Doggy!" "I feel like
I'm sitting on an atom bomb that's about to explode!" "The world would
be a better place if everyone loved each other." "Oh hi _______!"
"Chocolate is the symbol of love." "Cheep cheep cheep!" et al) and mime
Wiseau's hilariously awkward motions and slurred cadences ("It's not
true, I did not hit her! I DID NOOOOT."). You'll try in vain to convey
the sheer weirdness of the incessant football playing, the hilarity of
the jogging at the park, the brilliance of Chris R., the beautiful
blue-screened rooftop, the horrific sex scenes that never seem to end,
the mantra-like, gut-wrenchingly saccharine pop songs that accompany
said sex scenes, and the inescapable, mind-erasing voids of Lisa and
Claudette's mother-daughter one-on-one's. However, frustratingly for
the would-be promoter of the film, these sorts of descriptions do
little in the way of actually capturing the genuine magic that occurs
when one sees "The Room" for the first time.
After hearing about the film on NPR, my interest was peaked. Soon after, I discovered that there were several clips of the film available to view on Youtube. After watching the rooftop conversation between Johnny and Mark, and an excerpt of the tuxedo-clad football game, I was sold. Living over 2000 miles from Los Angeles, I knew my only option was to purchase the DVD, which retails for about $11 on Amazon. Later that week, I found myself staring at Wiseau's curiously droopy face and preparing, at long last, to watch "The Room." Words fail to describe my experience; I was immediately hooked. Now, several months later, I've watched the film close to ten times, and I can say without hyperbole that it has become more fascinating and hilarious with each viewing. If you're reading this and you're on the fence about whether or not to go to a screening, or to spend the $11-$15 for the DVD, fear not you will regret nothing. In fact, you'll begin to wonder how you lived for so long without seeing "The Room." Well, what are you waiting for? "DO YOU UNDERSTAND LIFE??!!"
"The Room", more aptly titled "Inconsistancy: The Laughably Pitiful Time Machine", left me feeling more conflicted than ever before. On the one hand, this is clearly the worst movie ever made. Tommy Wiseau must be a billionaire, because I have no idea who in their right mind would fund this project. The acting is horrific, the plot drops its incomprehensible tangents about as abruptly as they are surfaced, half of the film is composed of sex scenes (one recycled, by the way), and the dialogue is the most unnatural I've ever heard... it's a joke. And speaking of jokes, all these qualities make "The Room" one of the most fun films I have seen in a long, long time. I loved it - it's absolutely destined to be a cult classic. While watching this adorable attempt at capturing reality, I couldn't help but long for the return of MST 3K so they could have a crack at this thing. Fortunately, the audience picked up on my vibes and shouted out jokes and comments sufficient enough for my yearning. I would recommend that every person in the world find a way to see this film because it will leave you feeling that much better about yourself. I mean that sincerely. So long as you have a great sense of humor and don't mind that the characters' only motivation for action is simply their ill-explained personality traits, I guarantee explosive laughter throughout the surprisingly quick hundred minutes. It's like nothing I have ever experienced before. Wiseau's character delivers the line at one point, "You're tearing me apart!!" My sentiments exactly. 10 stars.

The necklace is a chain jewelry which is worn around the neck. Necklaces are frequently formed from a metal jewellery chain. Others are woven or manufactured from cloth using string or twine. Usually use the gold and silver and other precious metals or jewelry made of, but sometimes use different materials such as wood, stone, shells. If a necklace includes a primary hanging feature, it is called a pendant or amulet, if the hanging feature is itself a small container, that is called a locket. Necklace has a wide range of uniquely shaped, so it has strong decorative.

mi piace olto questa collana, soprattutto i colori, però temo che sia troppo larga e possa fare un brutto effetto addosso

Ivan Dominguez replica...the poor man's soloist.
Ivan Dominguez replica...the poor man's soloist.
I like it!
What chainrings are those? Elliptical?
There are only 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't.
was this part of the alimony settlement?
What's it running, Chorus?
I would lose the cf sheet on the rings and save a cleaner cut final for the time trials. Why a tri frame? Stiffer?
Stiffer, aero, road geometry
Is it a short heat tube compared to the other fuji's? It looks cool.
Reynolds wheels? How did you get the decals off?
Bring the pain.
Combo of Chorus and Centaur (crit bike concessions). Very short head tube, first time I've had a deflipped stem in a while.
Ivan liked the stiffness of the Aloha, it's designed with road geometry and wheelbase, so it corners quite well. It's definitely very snappy, even more so than my Team Issue which is one of the snappiest bikes I've owned.
Frame came in around 1370g, fork 370.
Lovely rig. I hope to see it in person in a few weeks (depending on what the bill for my youngest's hospital stay comes out to).
However, you and I have different definitions of a poor man's soloist. Yours may be an upper middle income soloist. Now this lovely rig is a lower middle class soloist:
While this is truly a poor man's soloist:
I'll probably be over that way to watch the races at Mineral Wells regardless as my inlaws are in the area.
Nice looking ride! Hope to be sitting on its wheel in a crit this summer
EC: glad to hear the youngin is on the mend. All three of our kids have had some stomach issues in the last two weeks. No good.
That's really a good looking rig! My new team has a team deal with Fuji and some of the guys were talking about this frame. I should email this photo around and that will probably convince a few.
Well done as always REx.
That is what I'm planning on racing for a road bike next year too.
FS: Fuji SL1 frameset, 55.5cm toptube, excellent condition.
I like that aero flat/crit bike idea. Personally I can't do it ($$) but that's life. I've looked at them since the first TT bikes came out with 78-79 deg seat tube angles (and on my small 50 cm frames, I always had 71-72 deg head tube angles so that was no different from a TT bike). It sounds radical but they had similar seat tube angle bikes built for crit racers in the 80s, only they had 75 deg head tube angles. One bike had a split seat tube (I think they were seat stays instead) so the rear wheel could tuck inbetween - it actually stuck through them. The chainstays were like 36 cm long. I dreamed about that bike lol.
My team was sponsored by Fuji Asia last year. We tested those forks all last season. We likey. I still have a spare fork looking for a bike.
Pretty! I approve!

April 29, 2014
Long Beach, Calif. -
Long Beach State continues to hold first place in the Big West with two series remaining in the regular season. Two key series remain, however, beginning with the final home series of the year against Cal Poly, starting with a doubleheader Saturday. The series with the Mustangs will then finish on Sunday, May 4.
The Last Meeting
March 24, 2013
San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Sunday also marks Senior Day for Long Beach State -- The 49ers will recognize seven departing seniors for their unbelievable contributions to the program: Erin Jones-Wesley, Hannah De Gaetano, Cya Neal, Karli Sandoval, Ashlynn Booker, Sarah Carrasco, and Loni Tyler.
The Beach leads the all-time series with Cal Poly 40-19, and has won five of the last six games with the Mustangs. Cal Poly is on the current winning streak, taking last season's finale in San Luis Obispo 2-0.
Cal Poly, in third place, 4 games back of The Beach, is led by freshman pitcher Sierra Hyland, who leads the Big West in ERA (1.73), innings pitched (230.0) and strikeouts (241).
Offensively, LBSU picked up right where they left off from last season's record breaking campaign, hitting .316 overall and closing out 11 games in run-rule contests. Long Beach State is slugging .487 as a team, with 46 home runs and 65 doubles on the year. The team has also been balanced, with seven players hitting over .300.
Long Beach State leads the Big West in nearly every offensive category in 2014. Through April 20, The Beach is first in batting average (.319), OBP (.394), runs (253), hits (380), RBI (227), doubles (61) and triples (11).
Shayna Kimbrough was named the Big West Player of the Year in 2013, and is topping her numbers in 2014. The junior shortstop is hitting .395 in 2014, and has 60 hits and seven stolen bases on the year while leading the 49ers in on-base percentage at .465. Her numbers are even better in Big West competition, where she's is hitting .400 and reaching base at a .474 pace.
Cya Neal is also sharing the offensive load at the top of the order. The senior is hitting .411 in Big West conference play, and is hitting .366 on the season, second on the team. Neal also 60 hits, has hit a team-high four triples, and leads the 49ers with 10 stolen bases. Neal also has just seven strikeouts in a team-high 164 at-bats, which ranks among the nation's best.
Senior Ashlynn Booker has been an important part of Long Beach State's recent surge. Booker is leading the team with a .419 batting average in Big West play, and is slugging .810 on the year, with 10 home runs in 84 at-bats. Booker is also the reigning Big West Player of the Week after setting an LBSU record with 7 RBI in one game Sunday against CSUN.
All remaining Long Beach State games can be followed through Gametracker on www.longbeachstate.com, the official livestats provider for The Beach. Gametracker is also now viewable on all tablets and smartphones.
Long Beach State currently has five of its top 10 home run hitters in program history on the squad in 2014. Hannah De Gaetano Ashley Holmes, Karli Sandoval, Darian Tautalafua and Ashlynn Booker are all in the school's Top 10, and are climbing fast. In particular, the career mark is well within reach of sophomore Darian Tautalafua, who ranks second, just ahead of senior Karli Sandoval.
With the March 14 win over UT-Arlington, Sowder gained her 250th career victory at Long Beach State. She becomes the second coach to reach that mark at LBSU, and the 9th coach in conference history to pass that milestone as a member of the Big West.
Long Beach State reached 20 wins for the 31st straight season. The 49ers have never had fewer than 24 wins under either Pete Manarino or Kim Sowder, and have never finished under .500 under Sowder in her seven seasons at the helm.
Against Hawai'i, LBSU also passed 30 wins. Under Sowder, Long Beach State has hit 30 wins now in five of her eight seasons, and now 25 times in the program's 34 years.
Long Beach State had nine games on ESPN networks this season, as ESPNU showed the first game of Long Beach State's doubleheader with Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, April 16, and then ESPN3 carried the conclusion of that series. Additionally, Long Beach State's home series with UC Riverside on April 5-6 and Hawai'i on April 12-13 were previously shown on ESPN3.
The Beach currently sits at No. 38 in this week's latest RPI, released on Monday. That mark places Long Beach State firmly in the at-large conversation. Long Beach State has six games remaining, with Cal Poly sitting at No. 81, while UCSB is at No. 68.

Welcome to the club you two. Great to see that we still get members even though the club isn't at its prime :p I'll just go ahead and add you to the member list. Have fun posting around!
Seems as though love for the two teams is quite mixed, though they're also pretty similar, so I guess for the most part it's the team of your (first) third generation game? Either way, I think it may be time to move onto a new topic.
Third generation brought back the concept that was introduced in the first generation games, the fossil Pokémon, with the Pokémon Anorith and Lileep. Both Pokémon were pretty strong in their final evolution and also pretty popular at the time, so the question is:
Which of the third generation Fossil Pokémon do you prefer?
Join some clubs!

you may recognize this girl from some free people catalogs! she modeled in our december '09 and january '10 books, and i interviewed her back then for the blog. michele often works in paris – and hung out with our team while they were shooting there – so i asked her for a little rundown of her ideal day off in paris!
paris! such a fun, beautiful city. i love working there and no matter how many times i visit there is always something fabulous to discover! the city is set up in such a way that nearly every corner you turn, a gorgeous monument or bridge or statue or building is right in front of you. there is so much to take in! whenever i have some time to kill between castings i explore st. germain and le marais or pop into one of the many museums. my perfect day off would look something like this…

A friend and I are spending this July in Paris, any one have any tips on budget friendly spots to check out? Also, if any one knows of any beaches that are a day or less by train away, and not too terribly crowded in the summer months, we'd love to spend a few days some where we can swim our little hearts out!

A jury will soon begin deliberations in the trial of three North Carolina men charged with being part of a conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack at the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., or targets overseas.
Lawyers in New Bern on Tuesday finished closing arguments in the case. U.S. District Court Judge Louise Flanagan said she'll give the jurors their instructions on Wednesday.
Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, Ziyad Yaghi and Hysen Sherifi all pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors say the men plotted terror attacks under the leadership of Daniel Boyd, who pleaded guilty to related charges in February.
Defense lawyers say the government's case comes down to prosecuting Muslim men for debating contentious ideas within their religion and watching jihadist videos on their computers.

Towing Services Hire: 3 Main Types of Trucks
There are diverse services offered by towing companies including providing vehicle jumpstarts, delivering fuel, changing the tyres and repairing minor damages. However, the most important service are towing of inoperable cars after breakdown and hauling of trailers or even boats. It is crucial for you to choose a reliable towing company which offers emergency twenty-four hour assistance, prompt response and accurate estimates for the services provided. This will limit the risk of unexpected charges and the possibility of remaining stranded on insecure roads. In addition, you should ensure that the towing service has the right tow truck resources to handle the task before calling for assistance. Here is a short description of the main types of towing trucks available for general hire. Flatbed Trucks As implied, the flatbed tow truck has long truck bed without a roof or sides. This design allows simple and quick loading of the vehicles during the towing activity. Usually, the truck bed is inclined using hydraulic mechanisms to create a ramp which will allow the vehicle to be driven up. If the car is completely inoperable or you are towing stationary items like boats, a winch will be used to pull the pertinent object onto the bed. This is the most reliable method of towing automotives because it avoids potential detriments of dragging the vehicle. You should hire a flatbed tow truck for long-distance haulage and when moving a vehicle with low ground clearance. In addition, this is an ideal choice for towing heavy vehicles like four-wheel drive trucks as well as expensive cars. Hook and Chain Trucks Hook and chain tow trucks are not used frequently because the towing style can cause damage to the bumpers as well as the front end parts of the vehicle. Basically, this truck has resilient chains which are wrapped around the axles and frames of the automotive to facilitate towing. The vehicle is exposed to abrasion so this type of tow can lead to scratches and small dents. You should hire the hook and chain tow truck if you are moving a vehicle which has been seriously wrecked in an accident or is out of commission. Wheel-lift Truck The wheel-lift truck is similar to the hook and chain alternative in terms of the towing style. The primary difference is that this truck uses a metal yoke instead of chains. This component is designed to cradle the rear or front wheels therefore there is minimal risk of damage. The wheel-lift truck is an ideal choice for standard...read more
Tips on Choosing the Right Towing Company
Choosing the right towing company can go a long way in helping you cope with the stress brought forth by your car's breakdown. If you've chosen a wrong towing company before, you know exactly how things can take a worse turn easily. Scrutinising the forthcoming pointers will enable you to choose the right towing company and make the best out of an exasperating situation. It is of paramount importance for you to make sure the car is safely off the road first: Pricing It is advisable for you to press for a fixed price, flat fee and ask the providers to be transparent about other miscellaneous extra charges. If the towing company hesitates on agreeing with the total price, stating there could be numerous other factors to consider before agreeing on a final deal, perhaps, it is in your best interest to tell them that there are numerous other towing services to consider too. Good Practices The right towing company must utilise flatbed towing. Flatbed towing is necessary because it prevents further damage to the vehicle as the entire vehicle is lifted onto the towing truck. The car is completely level and firmly placed; the wheels are also locked securely. There are just too many things that can go wrong with towing service providers that use the traditional hook-and-chain tow trucks. If the chain is attached improperly to the rack beneath your vehicle, your rack may face damages and your vehicle will be thrown out of alignment. This, in turn, will also cause your tires to wear down easily every time you hit the road. Extra Services A good towing company knows the importance of staying abreast with changing times and providing other services. You can reap greater benefits if you choose a company that provides complementary services, including roadside assistance, auctioning and secure vehicle storage. So, how can you derive extra benefits exactly? Well, if you are stranded in the middle of a road and you cannot seem to unlock the car door, instead of towing your car all the way to the nearest mechanic or service station and making you pay for the towing charges, the personnel will simply help you unlock the car door. Your car also might just require a jump-start. So, instead of towing your car and making a mountain out of a molehill, they will simply help jump-start your car. Location Many towing companies offer their services far and wide. They might advertise their services in your locality even if they are established miles away. So, when opting for a towing company, you should be aware of the proximity of those towing service providers. To learn more, contact a company such as Lightning Towing with any questions you...read more
4 Ways You Can Get Roadside Assistance For Your Vehicle
If you own a vehicle, roadside assistance is critical for those precarious moments when your car stalls by the road. Thanks to this service, you can get the help you need so that you don't get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Roadside assistance entails services like tyre replacement, car jump-starts, re-fuelling and towing services, among others. In total, you can get roadside assistance from several providers in the industry. Read on to see who they are and what they can offer you. Motor vehicle insurance companies Most insurance companies provide roadside covers to their clients. A roadside insurance cover may be offered as an option or as part of a comprehensive vehicle insurance cover. A roadside insurance cover will provide you with basic services like towing, tyre changing, locksmith services and windscreen repairs. On the downside, insurance companies will only provide this service for a limited number of times per year. The towing distance, too, is limited to a number of miles from your roadside location. Motoring associations Motoring associations also offer roadside services. Most motoring associations will cater to any type of car. Others only service specific types of vehicles e.g. trucks, trailers, private cars, etc. while other associations are a members-only club where you have to pay an annual fee to enjoy their services. Motoring associations offer the same services provided by insurance services. However, you are not limited to the number of times you can seek their help. Local garages Auto garages are a common provider of roadside services. They are ideal in that you can always get a garage for timely service no matter where you are. Also, unlike other roadside service providers, garages will not only tow your vehicles, they can also repair your vehicle if there are mechanical problems. Garage services are also open to anyone at any time, regardless of the type of car you have or your location. If you have an insurance cover for roadside assistance, you can still seek a claim after getting towing services from a garage. Car manufacturers Last but not least, you can also get roadside service from your car's manufacturer. Most major brands provide this service for their clients in Australia. Unlike other providers listed above, manufacturers offer more than just the basic assistance to get you out of trouble. They offer added perks such as transport money (if your car will be towed), optional car (if your car will have to stay in the garage), accommodation and even medical costs. However, the downside is that most manufacturers only offer this service for newly-purchased cars. No matter how careful you are with your driving, it is inevitable that you will require roadside assistance at one point. When you do, reach out to the above providers for some timely help. There are also businesses like Dyno Tow that offer towing services 24 hours a day and will take your vehicle to wherever you...read more
When to Call for Towing Services Rather Than Driving Your Car
Your car doesn't need to break down in the middle of the road in order for it to need towing services; very often there are repairs to a car that are needed which make it unsafe to drive even a short distance. Trying to drive your car when it needs these repairs, even if you can start it and steer it, will mean putting it at risk for even more damage or putting yourself at risk for an accident. Note the following times when it's better to call for towing services rather than driving your car: 1. When the suspension needs repairs If your car dips severely over one tire or you're driving it home and notice that one end seems to slam toward the pavement with every bump and bounce, chances are your car is having problems with the suspension. You may have broken a spring or shock or caused other damage, but driving your car with this problem can lead to serious repair bills. The suspension cushions your car against bumps in the road, so hitting a pothole with a broken shock can mean bending the car's rim or even breaking an axle, two very expensive repairs. 2. When dashboard lights come on Your car's engine needs oil to keep it lubricated and cool, and when the oil light comes on typically the oil levels are low. Driving it without oil can allow the engine to just seize up. If the thermostat light comes on, the engine is running hotter than it should and this can cause severe damage. The brake light usually means your brakes are not functioning as they should; your brake fluid may be low or the brakes may be sticking. Whatever the reason and whatever the light, even if you can make a quick repair on your own by adding oil to the engine or adding coolant, you don't want to drive your car. A fluid leak can mean that the fluid leaks out completely while on the road, and problems with brake parts can mean the brakes seizing up while you drive. It's better to have your car towed and the reason for the light investigated so you can then have the problem fixed properly. 3. When the steering is difficult If the steering pulls to one side, you may have a very flat tire or problems with the suspension, or the car may need steering fluid. In any case, this is not a problem that will fix itself but which will probably just get worse as you drive. Your steering may freeze up completely when on the road, so it's better to have your car towed to a repair shop. To learn more, contact a company like First Choice...read more
Five Important Services Offered by Towing Companies
There are diverse driving hazards and unforeseen occurrences on the road therefore the services provided by towing companies are indispensable. As a vehicle owner, it is important for you to have contact information on a reliable service provider. An ideal towing company should be licensed to operate in the area of operation, reputable, affordable and available at all hours. Here are the main helpful services that you can engage from towing businesses: Standard Towing The most apparent but crucial service provided by towing companies is standard towing of vehicles. You can request for this assistance if your car has broken down and repairs cannot be conducted within a short period. Engine problems are the most common issues that necessitate this type of response. You should rely on your trusted towing professionals for the service particularly during late hours. This will safeguard you against scammers who misrepresent themselves so as to take advantage of your vulnerability. Unlocking and Jump Starts If you have accidentally locked your keys in your vehicle, towing companies have the equipment that will provide easy access. The service is vital if you do not have a specialised auto locksmith and the total charges might be lower. In addition, you should contact the company if you need to have our vehicle jump started. This will prevent you from being stranded at night or in inclement weather since batteries function at lower capacities in extreme cold. Minor Repairs Tow truck operators are generally good mechanics so they can provide minor repairs instead of towing the vehicle to a repair shop. This is an important service for vehicle owners without technical skills for tasks such as changing tyres, reconnecting engine parts and general troubleshooting. Moreover, if you do not have a spare tyre with you and you have experienced a blowout or flat tyre, the towing company can take you home. Specialized Towing Tow truck services are useful in dislodging vehicles which are stuck in a ditch, mud or snow. You can also get specialized towing of industrial equipment or heavy commercial vehicles. This task is carried out by heavy duty tow trucks with advanced payload to handle such automotive. Other types of vehicles and vessels which can be towed include motor homes, boats, buses and luxury limousines. Fuel Delivery If you run out of fuel particularly in a remote area, you should call a towing company to deliver a small amount. This is a safer and more expedient option compared to walking and searching for nearby service stations. If you want to know more, contact a professional towing...read more

Sports at Summit
Summit offers Intramural and Interscholastic Sports. A current sports physical (within a calendar year of the sport season dates) is required to participate in Interscholastic Sports. (Intramural Sports do not require this.) A list of immunizations is NOT a sports physical. Your doctor's office should provide a form stating that your student is clear to participate in sports which is signed by a doctor and dated. Please note that some doctors' office forms state that the physical is good for two years, but BVSD requires a yearly sports physical. Both interscholastic and intramural sports require an athletic packet (available on-line only) from each student with parent/guardian on-line signatures on the relevant forms.
BVSD now requires athletic forms to be completed on-line. Please go to this site to complete the athletic packet for your child. RevTrak Athletic Forms If your child is participating in an Interscholastic sport, you must bring proof of an athletic physical to the Summit Office to complete your child's athletic registration.Instructions for completing the RevTrak forms can be found here.

Had my semi-permanent eyebrows done, very relaxing atmosphere and everything was explained to me before I went in for the treatment. It's on a quiet street and Nicole is very friendly and welcoming. Brow shape was perfect and was very happy with colour as well. Highly recommended.
Great place, seems to have just tanning towers, didn't notice any beds, but I could be wrong. Staff explained everything very quickly and easily. Was my first time in a tanning tower, great experience. Would recommend.
Had a 45 min bootcamp workout at Great Portland St with Joe Girma, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Joe puts you through your paces, with zero equipment (using only a mat), with mountain climbers, push-ups, lots of good cardio & upper arm workouts. The Thursday crowd was all girls, energetic and fun. The venue was a little small, but it never felt cramped. Would recommend!

I'm not sure if this helps a bit at all, but simply knowing that there are options out there (the villa owners who are here) makes a difference to me.
I can (and do) remind people who are coming here for a visit, that if they want offsite, there are reputable villa owners available.
I know that one of our Mods works with a villa owner here.
Growth is a slow and steady pace, quite often.
Not sure what the down on the list means, though.

Eatonton, GA (AP) - Authorities say two people have been arrested after the carcasses of more than 150 calves were dumped and left to rot in a Putnam County hayfield.
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said the two suspects hauled
pickup loads of the carcasses to the hayfield in recent weeks.
The sheriff said 57-year-old Gerald Baxter and 35-year-old Brent C. Baxter have been charged with five counts of unlawfully disposing of dead animals, a misdemeanor. He said they run a small-time calf operation in Morgan County.
Sills said he was told by one of the suspects that the animals died after cold weather came through the area.
The sheriff said the Baxters will be required to haul the carcasses away and bury them.

Update on RobertRobert is a 46 year-old married father of two children. He owns a small beauty salon for women, and has been working in this field for 26 years now.
His wife is employed as a dental assistant which is a relatively low-income job. His children are enrolled in a private school, which means that Robert and his wife have to cover the tuition fees on top of the family's other expenses.
Robert decided to contact Al Majmoua and acquire a loan in order to purchase a new salon work kit for his business. The loan will also pay tuition fees of his children.
Previous Loan DetailsRobert, 44, is the married father of two children. Robert has been a hair dresser since 1987. He is well known in his region for his good reputation and the customer care he provides. Most of his clients are neighbors, relatives and friends, in addition to others who hear of him from his loyal ... More from Robert's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Al Majmoua – Lebanese Association for DevelopmentThe Lebanese Association for Development – Al Majmoua is Lebanon's leading microfinance institution and the oldest Kiva partner in Lebanon. Al Majmoua's vision is to "be the leader in creating an inclusive financial system where all people in Lebanon have access to affordable services." Given Lebanon's diverse population, Al Majmoua lends to all nationalities, provided legal residency. The strong financial position achieved to date has allowed Al Majmoua to steadily lower its pricing over the years.
Based on the belief that non-financial services play a complementary role in improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable entrepreneurs, Al Majmoua has established a solid Business Development Services program for both borrowers and non-borrowers with a focus on women and youth.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

The International Policy Ransoms Task Force issued its final report on Somali piracy on 11 December 2012. Since the task force was launched, there has been a dramatic reduction in piracy activity. Reported attacks declined from 176 in 2011 to 35 as of November 2012.
The Task Force concluded that ransoms not only reward pirates for their crime, but they provide the main source of funds to support further piracy activity. They strengthen the criminal elements that benefit from them, fuel corruption and undermine the rule of law.
The Task Force acknowledged there are no actions that could immediately bring a halt to the payment of ransoms, especially privately paid ransoms. However, there are a range of options, some of which are already being explored that could reduce and avoid the risks posed by ransom payments to pirates.
