According to Martha Stewart, your toilet should be cleaned at least once per week. Taking time out of every week to clean can make the process faster. Follow these simple tips to keep your toilet clean:
When preparing to clean your toilet, you will need the following cleaning products:
A toilet brush
Toilet bowl cleaner
Today explained the first step in cleaning your toilet is to turn off the water using the knob on the water line behind your toilet. Then, flush your toilet to leave you with a completely empty bowl. Pour in your toilet bowl cleaner. Apartment Therapy recommends using Coca-Cola, while Today suggests using a homemade cleaner made of Borax, baking soda, salt and tea tree oil. However, any cleanser you get from the store will work to get your toilet clean.
Using a glove and sponge or brush, scrub your toilet bowl and under the rim.
If you are using a homemade cleaner:
Wash it away with vinegar
Let the solution sit for about an hour
Turn the water back on when the time is up, then flush the toilet.
Use the cleaner to wipe down the rim, seat, lid and exterior of the toilet.
Maintain your clean toilet
Once your toilet is clean, maintenance is key. Everyday toilet maintenance includes:
By performing these regular maintenance steps and cleaning your toilet once a week, you bathroom will be a healthier place for everyone.

Maintenance is key as a homeowner. That means taking care of everything in your house - from the roof to the floors. Your plumbing systems also fall into that category. To that end, here are five helpful tips from your Tyler, Texas, plumber to help you keep everything in tip-top shape.
Do a little research
If you don't know what your plumbing fixtures look like when they're in working order, how do you expect to know when something has gone wrong? Our plumbers over at Roto-Rooter recommend getting to know your plumbing systems. Take a peek at your hot water heater. Examine your exposed pipes. Open up your toilet tank. The more your educate yourself on your plumbing fixtures, the easier it will be to tell if something needs fixing.
Try it yourself
Surprisingly enough, there are plenty of jobs that a plumber isn't needed for. You could repair a leaky faucet or unclog a toilet yourself. Repairs can be a lot easier than you think. For example, insulating your pipes is an inexpensive way to protect your home. Head out to your local hardware store to pick up insulation (the pink material found in unfinished basements and attics). Cut the fabric it, and wrap it around your pipes to keep them from freezing and eventually bursting. It's a quick and easy way to help avert a major issue.
Protect your drains
Your drains are highly susceptible to blockage. That includes shower and garbage disposal drains. In fact, a clogged drain is one of the main reasons that people call in a professional. Luckily, there are precautions you can take to help prevent a backup. For your garbage disposal, it's all about what you throw down there. The wrong kind of trash can really mess up your plumbing fixtures. Here are some items you should never put in your disposal:
Fibrous foods like lettuce, carrots, onion skins and potato peels.
Greasy foods or grease from cleaning.
Food that increases in size with water like pasta, rice and other grains.
Non-food items.
You don't just have to worry about your kitchen drains, however. The pipes connected to your showers, baths, and faucets are also very sensitive to the wrong kinds of waste. For example, hair can clog a pipe quickly. Be sure to put a hair catcher over your drain to prevent blockage. If your plumbing still gets backed up, use a declogging product to eliminate the mess. If the problem persists, you may need to call a plumber to fix the issue.
Don't ignore the problem
Issues don't go away on their own. It may seem relatively harmless, but over time, a leaky faucet can do some heavy damage. For example, the continuation of water dripping can skyrocket your bill (you can get charged for water you didn't even use). In addition, the moisture can grow and produce mold. If you notice something in your home is off, don't wait. It will only cause more damage down the road.
Call a professional
Like mentioned above, there are plenty of problems you can fix yourself. There are lots of credible websites that can take you through repairs step by step. However, if you're inexperienced, you can end up doing more harm than good. Things like backed up pipes and a broken dishwasher are just two of problems that should be left in the hands of a professional. To prevent this, give us a call over at Roto-Rooter. We'll send out a professional and experienced plumber to tend to any issue your home has.
A toilet malfunction can happen at any time. Before calling in the plumbing professionals, it is best to first assess the situation to see if there is something that can be done without the assistance of a plumber. From a running toilet, to a broken toilet flapper, here are a few simple items to check when your toilet malfunctions:
Is the lever in bad shape?
When you push down on a toilet lever to flush, a corresponding lever inside the tank lifts a flap at the bottom of the tank, allowing the water to empty into the bowl, while washing away its contents and refiling with new water. Often, one of these two levers might be in need of repair and may start sticking when you flush, causing the flapper valve inside the tank to stay open, and water to keep running. Sometimes, all it takes to stop a running toilet is to just lift the outside handle back to its original position. If this is the case, the chain between the handle and the flapper might be tangled, or the flush lever may be warped, bent or broken.
Roto-Rooter recommends that when you replace the flush lever, or do any other sort of toilet maintenance, you first turn the water supply valve counter clockwise to shut off the water.
Examine the lift chain
The lever inside the toilet is connected to the flapper by a chain. When you push down on the handle, the lever inside lifts the chain and the chain lifts the flapper. If the lift chain becomes disconnected or is too long, the toilet handle will wiggle in place when you try to flush. If the chain is too taught, it might be suspending the flap in place and causing a slow leak. If your toilet will not flush, or if it won't stop flushing, there's a good chance you need to fix the lift chain.
Is the flapper broken?
Over time, the flap might become warped or accumulate grime, which, according to Apartment Therapy, can result in a leak. If the flap is dirty or warped, it won't seal the tank correctly. If one of the hinges on the flap is broken it will cause it to fall back into place crooked with each flush. If this is the case, no need to worry because toilet flappers are as cheap and easy to replace as a lever or chain.
If everything appears to be working as it should and you are certain that your toilet isn't clogged, call the plumbing professionals at Roto-Rooter to help assess the situation and get your toilet working properly again in no time!
Part of being a homeowner includes making sure everything is in working order. Seasons change, and that can affect your house from top to bottom. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can protect your Gainesville, Florida, home. Here are some of them:
Keep an eye on your toilet
Our bathrooms are used every day, so if yours suddenly stopped working, it'd be a huge inconvenience for you and your family. The first step to taking care of your bathroom plumbing is knowing what should go in your toilet and what should not. There are many discrepancies around what can be flushed, but we're here to set the record straight. Don't put anything in your toilet other than waste and toilet paper. Your pipes are not strong enough to handle anything else. In addition, there are several items that not only back up your plumbing but can damage the environment. For example, things used to absorb liquid, like tampons, sanitary pads and cotton balls, will grow in size in your plumbing, blocking the pipe altogether. Pitch these in the trash. You may think flushing medicine is the safest way to get rid of it. However, these pills can eliminate helpful bacteria in sewage and harm wildlife. It's best to put them in the garbage instead.
Even though you might know what is flushable, it doesn't mean everyone else does. If you have large gatherings often, it might be in your best interest to hang a sign in your bathroom. That way, everyone will be informed, and it may ease your mind.
Protect your pipes
Although the winters in Florida might not be too harsh, that doesn't mean you shouldn't make the necessary changes to protect your home. The most important step? Insulating your pipes. Head to your local hardware store to pick up some insulation material (that pink fabric found in unfinished basements and attics). Next, cut the material and wrap it around your fixtures. That should provide your pipes with the warmth they need during colder temperatures.
Keep in mind, insulated pipes won't do you any good if your heating systems aren't working. So, survey your home to make sure furniture isn't blocking any of your air vents.
Don't ignore a problem
Oftentimes, homeowners think that issues in their home will just go away on their own. If you are experiencing a clogged toilet just about every day, odds are that the situation won't get any better without repairs. The same goes for a leaky faucet. Letting a faucet continue to drip water will not only increase your water bill, but it can provide the perfect environment for harmful mold to grow. If you see that something is wrong in your home, don't wait - either fix it yourself or a call a plumber.
In fact, if you have any issues, don't be afraid to give us a call over at Roto-Rooter. We'll send out one of our professional and experienced plumbers to tend to your home's needs.

Being a homeowner isn't always smooth sailing. If something goes wrong, you can't just call up your landlord to take care of it. Either you have to fix the problem yourself or call a professional. Such issues in your house are inevitable - especially as the seasons change. However, there are steps you can take to avoid unnecessary plumbing issues. Here are five ways to protect your Reno, Nevada, home:
Start with your toilet
There are some things that just should not be flushed. In fact, the only things that belong in your toilet are toilet paper and waste. Everything else - pitch it in the trash. Your pipes aren't made to withstand other items. For example, feminine hygiene products, like tampons and sanitary pads, are made to absorb liquid. Therefore, if flushed, they can back up your fixtures and cause serious damage.
You might have been told to flush pills down the toilet instead of tossing them into the trash. However, antibiotics can eliminate harmful bacteria in our sewage systems and can pose a threat to the environment. Put them in the waste basket instead.
If you are one to have people over at all times, it can be difficult to ensure your guests aren't flushing the wrong materials. It might be helpful to put up a sign like they do in restaurant bathrooms, just to protect your home and plumbing.
Protect your pipes
Regardless of the type of climate you live in, your pipes need a little extra warmth during the winter. Be sure to head out to your local hardware store to pick up some insulation (the pink material found in unfinished basements and attics). Cut the insulation, and wrap it around all the exposed fixtures in your home. This will help keep them toasty, even in the colder months of the year, and prevent freezing.
Don't ignore the problem
Most people expect plumbing issues to go away on their own. You might be able to initially unclog a toilet, but if it keeps getting backed up a couple of times a week, it may mean there's a bigger problem. If you notice something is off, don't just ignore it. For example, a leaky faucet may seem relatively harmless. However, over time, it can increase your water bill and grow harmful mold in your sink. Give a professional a call to come in to fix the problem.
Take care of your drains
All too often, people let things go down the drain that don't belong there. For instance, you should install a hair catcher in all of your showers and tubs. That way, hair won't back up the pipes, as you can throw it in the garbage after you bathe. Another place where many people run into issues? The garbage disposal. Although these kitchen features can come in handy, they're also very sensitive to the wrong materials. Here are some items you should never throw down your garbage disposal:
Fibrous foods, like lettuce, carrots, onion skins and potato peels.
Greasy foods or grease from cleaning.
Food that increases in size with water, like pasta, rice and other grains.
Non-food items.
Call a plumber
Although there are plenty of websites that can guide you through snaking a drain or fixing a dishwasher, sometimes you can do more harm than good. Don't risk causing more extensive and expensive problems to you home; instead, just give a plumber a call. Ring us over at Roto-Rooter and we'll send out a professional and experienced plumber to fix anything you need.
Sewer linings can help to repair cracked pipes without having to completely replace your sewer lines or destroy the area around them.
If you are looking to replace an existing underground sewer pipe that has started to leak, first consider your options. A full sewer pipe replacement may not be necessary. Often, relining your existing pipes is a better option. If your sewer lines are beneath trees, near extensive landscaping, sidewalks, driveways or other semi-permanent features, total sewer excavation can cause a great deal of collateral damage (and expense) to the surrounding area.
In many cases, pipe relining is great alternative to replacing your sewer pipes. There are four types of pipe relining systems to successfully get the job done. All the materials will rehabilitate the interior of your pipes without having to completely replace them.
Here are the types of pipe relining systems available today:
1. Cured-in Place
Cured-in place piping is a method used to repair trenchless relining systems. Professional sewer and drain companies like Roto-Rooter are able to remotely line the section of the pipe that is cracked without having to dig a trench. After the interior of the pipe is cleaned and dried, the installers will apply the lining to the problem area. The liner is cured in place with jets of hot steam as it molds into all the cracks inside the pipe.
2. Pull-in Place
Pull-in place is the best lining method for pipes that have larger gaps and cracks. The material is fixed into the pipe using heat, like steam. The epoxy-saturated liner is then pulled into place (the place being the area of the pipe that needs repair). To pull the liner through the desired location, two access points are needed: one to feed the liner and one to pull it through. Air is introduced into the pipe to open the sleeve and hold it against the inner walls of the pipe until it dries in place.
3. Pipe bursting
The pipe-bursting method is used on pipes that are severely damaged, for replacing an entire pipe system, or for repairing larger sections of sewer pipeline. The installers need physical access to the pipe in order to begin repair, which includes two four foot square access pits at either end of the pipeline. The installers begin by placing a "bursting head" at the access point on one end of the pipe. Hydraulic power is used to drag the head through the pipe. As it makes its way through the system, breaking the old pipe apart and drawing in a new seamless pipe behind it. The pipe is a plastic material that will be impervious to root intrusion for up to 100 years.
4. Internal pipe coating
Professional installers use internal pipe coating to repair an existing sewer pipe that has started to leak into surrounding soil. To prepare the area for treatment, they will completely drain the pipes to get rid of any water. A thick epoxy coating is sprayed on the inside of your pipes to permanently seal the leaks and cracks throughout the pipeline.
All of these pipe relining techniques leave behind a smooth, seamless pipe that is designed to last for generations.

Pipe relining requires the work of an experienced professional and is not a do-it-yourself job. For more information on sewer pipe replacement options, contact your local Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service professional today.
Most people forget how much time, effort and money goes into being a homeowner. You can no longer ring your landlord when something goes wrong. As someone with a house, you have full responsibility for either fixing it or hiring someone to take care of things.
One aspect in your home that needs to be taken care of? Your plumbing. Of course, problems are sometimes inevitable, but there are conscious steps you can take to keep your systems in working order. Here are four things your Eugene, Oregon, plumber wants you to know:
Garbage disposals are not the trash
Most people are too liberal with what they put in their garbage disposals, when in fact these systems are incredibly sensitive. They're a great way to get rid of food scrap, because unlike garbage cans, the materials don't sit and produce odor. Instead, they disintegrate in your plumbing systems, where you no longer have to worry about them. However, these appliances can't break down everything, and if you throw the wrong material down your disposal, you could risk backing it up, breaking it and harming the environment. Things such as bones, vegetable peelings, grains and grease should never be thrown down your plumbing. Instead, pitch them in the trash.
Protect your pipes
Some of the most dangerous issues in the home can happen during winter, and it comes in the form of frozen pipes. If your pipes aren't properly protected, the water inside of them can freeze, stopping your water systems all together. Unfortunately, most people don't realize their pipes are frozen until it's too late (either when their showers don't work or the pipe bursts causing extensive and expensive damage to the home). However, there are plenty of precautions you can take to ensure this isn't the case for you.
First, head out to your local hardware store and pick up some insulation (that pink material found in unfinished rooms). Next, cut the insulation and wrap it around your unfinished pipes - especially the ones found in laundry rooms, basements and attics. This material stores the heat so the cold doesn't harm your pipe fixtures when temperatures drop; it's like a jacket for your pipes! Although insulation can do a lot, it doesn't do you any good if your heat isn't working. Before winter hits, make sure your heating systems are working just fine. Test all your vents to make sure the right temperature and pressure of air is blowing. In addition, check that there are no pieces of decor (rugs, side tables, etc.) covering your vents.
If it's in the dead of winter, you may also want to run your faucets on a daily basis. This consistent water flow will diminish your chances of the water freezing. This is particularly important in faucets that don't get much attention, like a basement shower head or laundry room sink.
Be cautious of what you flush
The pipes connected to your toilet are more sensitive than you think. In fact, there are plenty of items that you shouldn't be flushing (i.e. anything but waste and toilet paper). Any feminine products like tampons or sanitary pads are made to absorb liquid, so they will not properly break down and can cause blockage to your systems. The same thing goes for cotton balls and baby wipes. In addition, if flushed, pills can eliminate the necessary bacteria in our water and pose a threat to wildlife and the environment.
Don't flush anything except waste and toilet paper.
Although you may know about what you should and shouldn't flush, that doesn't mean all your guests do. Just to be safe, consider hanging a sign (like the ones in restaurants) noting what should and shouldn't be flushed down the toilet to protect your home the best you can.
Call a professional
Sometimes problems are simply out of our hands. Instead of risking making it worse by trying to fix something yourself, just call someone to get the job done for you. Our experienced and professional plumbers at Roto-Rooter can tend to any of your plumbing needs - even if it's just answering a simple question. Don't hesitate, give us a call!
When it comes to finding more efficient fixtures for your home, it can be difficult to know which options provide the best value for the environment and your utilities bills. Luckily, the U.S. government has programs to make the decision easier, and its WaterSense program is one of your best resources when seeking out new high quality faucets that use less water without seeming like it. This represents the very latest in faucet evolution.
This information is particularly useful in areas that have strict conservation demands. In these states, a low-flow faucet may be the only option. So whether you're contending with regulations or simply want to be more efficient in your water usage, check out this overview of WaterSense-labeled low-flow faucets:
What is the WaterSense program?
Companies that wish to label their products as WaterSense compliant must sign an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Then, these companies produce faucets, showerheads, toilets and other plumbing fixtures that have water efficiency exceeding the average flow rate by at least 20 percent; have a third-party certification and meet other criteria. This arrangement is similar to the Energy Star program for appliances and electronic devices.
"WaterSense products exceed average efficiency by at least 20%."
The level of required efficiency can change as the industry sees more overall innovation. As of 2016, the EPA listed faucets that put out no more than 1.5 gallons per minute as sufficient for a WaterSense label. The average flow rate for faucets at that time was 2.2 gallons per minute.
Another key criteria of the WaterSense labeling program is realizing savings shouldn't impact performance. This means you get the same quality of product along with more money in your pocket when it's time to pay the water bill.
What do you get with a WaterSense-labeled faucet?
Of course, the most important question for any homeowner would be in regard to hard figures about water conservation. What exactly does that 20 percent boost in efficiency translate to? Here's a look:
When converting that percentage to the amount of water saved, the average family can cut its annual water consumption by 700 gallons.
As for cost savings, this collective reduction across the U.S. could total $1.2 billion in savings each year.
For water utility bills in particular, the EPA estimated a possible national savings of $350 million.
Your toilet is a not as hearty as you might think. In order to maintain superior plumbing performance throughout your home, it is important to always be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. Human waste and toilet paper are truly the only things that you should be flushing down your toilet. Flushing things like Q-tips and hair from your hairbrush can cause clogs and backups over time.
Here are four things you should never flush down the toilet:
Feminine hygiene products
Feminine products soak up moisture while causing expansion, which is the very reason tampons, applicators or sanitary pads should never be flushed down the toilet. Overtime, flushing feminine hygiene products will make it difficult for these items to pass through the sewer pipeline, as well as your water treatment plant.
Dental floss
Dental floss may seem harmless, but over time, flushing dental floss can cause a backup while getting stuck in the middle of your pipeline, catching on tree roots or on an offset section of a pipe. Floss is also not biodegradable, which means it will end up in a landfill and can be harmful to both humans and our environment.
'Flushable' wipes
Contrary to what the packaging reads, you should never flush wipes down the toilet. Wipes can get caught on pipes and cause blockages and backups. Flushable wipes are also not biodegradable as many are made of plastic. Always remember to toss face wipes in the wastebasket – not your toilet bowl.
Kitty litter
Kitty litter is another product that should never be flushed down the toilet. Not only are you flushing fecal matter and urine, but also clay and sand, which should never be flushed. Cat waste can carry toxins and parasites, which means you are flushing bacteria through your local water system. For questions or concerns about your home's plumbing and what not to flush, call your local Roto-Rooter for answers to all of your plumbing questions.

While I find the story of EverQuest's origin interesting enough without Jace's particular brand of humor, perhaps the attendees at the SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas on June 25th through the 28th don't. That makes sense. I mean, they're only trekking halfway around the country in many cases to pay homage to the game and possibly get a little Wood Elf action.
"EverQuest was such an influential title; many people don't realize just how daunting of a task it was to create," said Jace Hall, President of HD Films. "With this documentary we were able to tell the epic story of the game and the people behind it while incorporating the light-hearted signature of the Jace Hall Show."
How do you folks feel about Hall's light-hearted signature?

have been siphoning sales from the iPhone because they usually cost less and many of them feature bigger screens than the iPhone's four-inch display. An iPhone with a display screen spanning nearly five inches is being prepared for sale later this year, according to unidentified people cited in a recent report in The Wall Street Journal.
Apple earned $13.07 billion, or $14.50 per share, in the quarter ending Dec. 28. That's roughly unchanged from $13.08 billion, or $13.81 per share, in the prior year.
Revenue for the fiscal first quarter rose 6 percent to $57.6 billion.
Analysts, on average, had expected Apple to earn $14.09 per share on revenue of $57.5 billion, according to FactSet.

XBL Gamertag: your mother...
PSN Name: artistadam
Xfire Identity: i said your mother!!
ZOMG!!! triple post!!
ok, lets get this out there right now... this is not assassin's creed or infamous or grand theft auto or metal gear solid or mercenaries or sly cooper or godfather II or any of that shit... yet it borrows from all of that shit...
assassin's creed (CQC combat and scaling buildings)
infamous (ditto on building-scaling but, collecting shards/intel = destroying nazi shit)
grand theft auto (sandbox driving and robust city)
metal gear solid (stealth and infiltrating... yes, stealth is involved and yes, it can be used quite effectively)
mercenaries (milder destruction but, the one great element this title steals from their previous pandemic games tho)
sly cooper (IDK but i feel like sly, scouting strongholds from rooftops and infiltrating undetected)
godfather II (it's also from EA and the menus, graphics, and game play feel eerily similar)
there were times when i was playing this that i felt like i was a basterd from tarintino's new flick ... walk up on a lone nazi in the streets and snap his neck... take his suit to infiltrate an area on alert... destroy the tower... shoot my way out... flee the pursuing nazi's... ... ... do a mission for the family, which deals with getting revenge on more nazi's... it's like he's collecting scalps without actually cutting them off... he's turning into more of a badass the more i play, the more i understand the scheme and unlock new tools... and that's almost assassin's creed II-like...
the art direction is one to behold as well... if only this game were given more time, or had an amazing graphics team, this would be one of the best artist visions in video games... never mind the fact that color is restored to areas that you've helped liberate, or that things don't quite look polished... forget all of that, the rainy colorless streets of nazi occupied france are really fucking awesome to take in... the only colors you see are lights, blue contraband (currency), and red nazi shit... it really makes the area feel dark and dangerous... something you might want to be a little careful through... it's the boldest artistic moves in graphics that i've seen in i can't remember... it's immerse...
i like this game... the flashback that you could actually play and interact with near the beginning was really fucking sweet as well... it seemed to give to the story more strength and really, the story is starting to feel more involved... and i guess you can chalk that up to some pretty decent voice acting and writing... it's witty and devastating at the same time...
a game well worth $60 and, a game well worth checking out for those of you that spot in the bargain bin for $20 because you decided to pass on it... it's understandable... not everyone is interested in these games but, do know that there is fun to be had for a few bucks in the future...
Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

The Next CEOs
Gillis, Cindy, Gonser, Sarah, Folio: the Magazine for Magazine Management
As publishing media companies navigate the digital age, diversify their businesses and combat the first serious ad slump in a decade, visionary leadership is more critical than ever. Which executives have the experience, people skills and charisma needed to take the chief executive office? In the following pages, we've profiled 15 of the industry's most promising prospects.
PRESIDENT, HANLEY-WOOD LIC Frank Anton combines, market knowledge, a personable demeanor and impatience with the status quo to drive his company's growth and revenue, colleagues say.
"Frank has a terrific sense for the bottom line and is very focused on how to build business and take it to the next level," says Jeffrey Stevenson, a Veronis, Suhler & Associates partner and president of the VS&A investment fund that acquired Hanley-Wood in 1999.
Anton, with Hanley-Wood for 20 years and its president for seven, oversees the management of the fast-growing company's five operating divisions: magazines, ebuild, custom publishing, exhibitions and home planners. Those who know Anton, 51, describe him as a strong leader who pushes his employees without alienating them.
Under Anton's guidance, H-W revenue increased from $25 million in 1994 to $125 million last year, says Hanley-Wood CEO Michael M. Wood. Telling one of his favorite Frank Anton stories, Wood recalls the time Anton--while publisher of Builder-decided he refused to be number two in the market. Anton gathered his staff for three days of idea-generating meetings that recast the magazine's sales, editorial and design. Within six months, Builder was the category's circulation and ad-page leader, Wood says.
THE CHALLENGE: The industry closely associates Anton with a growing but relatively small media company focused on the limited markets of residential and commercial construction.
PRESIDENT, DENNIS PUBLISHING USA Dennis Publishing USA's phenomenal track record goes a long way toward making the case that Stephen Colvin, 38, is CEO material. "Felix Dennis gave him the financial backing," says one corporate recruiter. "But Colvin built that business."
Responsible for the launch of Maxim and Stuff in the United States, Colvin shook up the men's category, proving that the imported beer-and-babes formula was just what American men were looking for in a magazine. Maxim has soared from an initial 175,000 distribution four years ago to a 2.25 million ratebase in the first half of 2001. Stuff, geared toward a slightly younger demographic, started with a 275,000 distribution, moved to an 850,000 ratebase in the first half 2001, and plans to boost that to one million in the second half of the year. The Maxim franchise now includes a Web site, a radio segment, a book unit and a 300,000-circulation biannual magazine called Maxim Fashion.
This year, when the slumping economy has many other publishers shelving any start-up plans, Colvin is building the Dennis Publishing USA portfolio with the launch of a general-interest music magazine called Blender, which will publish quarterly, and a newsweekly called The Week.
Prior to building Dennis USA, Colvin was publishing director of Dennis UK, where he launched three magazines, including PC Pro, a competitor with PC Magazine.
THE CHALLENGE: While he is widely recognized for Dennis Publishing's success in the United States, he hasn't yet demonstrated that he can manage a company through hard times. "Anyone can sell a magazine and be a great success when a magazine's circulation is rising 50 percent every ABC period," says one industry executive. "When you're mature, you're there, you're big and established--that's when you have to show what you can do."
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, ADVANSTAR COMMUNICATIONS Alexander DeBarr is a deal-maker whose ability to juggle multiple projects, motivate staff and integrate acquisitions makes him a prime candidate for the top spot at a b-to-b media company. …

After the price of BABA plunged on Wednesday, you could have bought the May 26 $77.50 calls for about .20, then sold two days later for around $3.00.
It is being mentioned as a good stock to short.
It looked like someone wrote a rough draft of the article at some previous time and then forgot to fill in the current numbers before putting it up on the net. I bought some shares at around $34 for a bounce, and plan to start another round of selling covered calls. Has been a good money maker so far. Maybe someday I'll make enough with this strategy to offset my shares bought in mid $40s.
Congratulations on a great trade. Avoid all or nothing thinking. We should get a strong open in the morning, with a good chance you can get $3 for your calls. You have $800 invested, sell 10 calls early for at least $2,000, probably more and let the rest ride. I would try to sell by end of the day, as there is always a risk of a pullback after a sharp move higher, and holding into Friday with options expiring that same day is risky. The after-hours news about lenders relaxing their terms should move the stock higher. I suggest you stay glued to the screen in the morning and don't sell until you see a hint of momo slowing, then be quick in taking at least some of your profit. Good luck.
but could easily hit $40 this week. The combination of shorts who got greedy and stayed too long now having to cover, and momo buying could send VRX into the $50's next week. Not saying it will, but is definitely possible.
What happens with upgrades and a much higher price target? I doubt we will see much more of a pullback from here.
I think you need to wait until the end of the day to crow about technical breakdowns. We shall see.
agamemnus--Is there a specific date for this release?
If you're long, you should consider selling calls for a fat premium or taking some off the table IMO. Looks great now, but the overall global market is weak and will pull everything back down.

Photos: Plane crash in Erie, Colorado on Thursday, June 14, 2012
Posted by mleyba on 06/14/2012 11:20am MDT tags: Photo
Erie, CO ~ Crews from Mountain View Fire Rescue (MVFR) responded this morning to the Erie Airport on the report of a small plane that had crashed in a residential area. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff at the Erie Airport. Early reports were that the plane clipped the top of a nearby house. Upon inspection by MVFR and Erie PD evidence showed that the plane may have made contact with the house. Skid marks from the plane were evident on the driveway a few yards from where the plane came to rest. Several officers from Erie Police were on scene, along with one engine, one ambulance and a Battalion Chief from MVFR. The pilot walked away with minor injuries however the passenger was transported to a nearby hospital to be checked for minor injuries. The cause of the incident is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). No serious injuries or deaths were reported.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 502 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by FormerWguest Old, tired and overpriced How on earth do you have the audacity to charge almost $500 per night and squeeze your "guest" for room email access and a bottle of water? Charge for your room, which is pretty run down, but stop squeezing pennies. Also, not once but three times, housekeeping just walks into the room!!! How about a knock and an announcement of who is coming in?? (YES, 3 times). The closing insult is a $280 quote for a car to the airport. Really? A regular taxi was 80. You needed to attempt to squeeze us for another 200? The novelty of your brand has diminished, Cool vibe bar and overpriced everything only works if the quality is there. What a let-down August 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Juls1210 Facility Worn Down It seems that The W is getting worn down. Had a room in which the bathroom lights didn't work or the fan. The breakers on the outlets kept popping, which was rather annoying. The bathroom didn't even have a real door that would shut all the way, which is terrible for a room with two double beds, obviously you are not going to stay by yourself in the room. Went through the hassle of requesting a refrigerator before check in only to have the refrigerator arrive in the room a long time after we did so all of our food went bad. I can tell you that I will not be paying for the so called luxury of The W again. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mav90025 Thanks! Asked for a few extra face washes, and they left a half dozen in the room before I checked in. Thanks! August 7, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by RQD2 Awesome hotel! This hotel rocks. Very swank, upbeat, and hip atmosphere. Great lounge downstairs. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. This is one of the best W properties in the US. August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kfish Close to Moscone and convenient This is great place to stay if you have a meeting at any of the Moscone facilities as it is across the street. There is also easy access to Yerba Buena, shooping and restaurants. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kq21 Door Problems - Poor Attitude I liked the room. It was quieter than last time. My room key deactivated 6 times during my stay. I kept it in a separate pocket in my pants because I was worried that my phone or wallet were deactivating the keys. After 15 hour work days, it was frustrating to wait in a long check-in line to get new keys. The last 2 times, I called from the 26th floor lobby phone. The guy who came up acted annoyed with me, did not apologize, and made me feel like I did something wrong. It ruined my stay. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RHDS A wonderful retreat in the middle of the City We were in town for the SF Marathon and were thrilled with the W Hotel's location for the event. The hotel exceeded our expectations once again. Start to finish it was an outstanding experience. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by cn11 Bad Service Staff are rude and not thoughtful in solving problems. Very little communication across service providers leading to multiple delays. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scotti Not what was expected I checked in on a busy afternoon, got my key, went up the the 30th floor to a room that was clearly already occupied (ironing board out, iron plugged in, suit case on the bed). I quickly returned to checkin and had to wait to be served. I finally got a room that was a bit small and cramped. Also the fitness center has been under construction for several months now so we can get a pass to a gym (hassle) or exercise in the temporary tent. C'mon guys. Get the fitness center done already. The last issue was my room was not cleaned. It was explained to me that I signed up for such lack of service in exchange for points. Actually i recall at check in being asked if I wanted that and I said no. Can't imagine NOT wanting a clean room everyday. July 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by David1030 Good Stay Good stay. You have beautiful & new public spaces. It would be nice to see the room decor match the public spaces. July 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MW111 Way too much money for a sub-par hotel. Very noisy and there were construction workers walking around outside our window. The gym is a joke as well as the spa. July 25, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucygoose1 My stay at the W. I had a wonderful experience at your hotel. My accommodations were exceptional. I would recommend your hotel to anyone. I hope to make this my new hotel when visiting San Francisco and will inquire as to getting my firm to use your hotel exclusively. July 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shelley51 Recent business stay Air conditioning didn't work very well. I left a small red and gold jewelry pouch with costume jewelry with sentimental value (two necklaces from my deceased parents) in my room when I checked out but it apparently wasn't turned in. July 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by noeezee construction The construction next door is an eye sore, should better accommodate patrons to higher floors until construction makes some headway. Could not leave my windows open since I was within very close range with the workers (e.g., cranes). Also construction started early in the day. Noise level quite evident. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EngineerMegan Great W! Loved our stay at W San Francisco! Henry greeted us at check-in with an upgrade to a Spectacular room (we were on a corner with two windows, so double the great views!) and 2 complimentary drinks. The concierge (didn't catch his name, unfortunately) was the best, with great recommendations for dinners and the easiest way to get there, not to mention where to grab some great souvenirs in China Town. We enjoyed brunch (and the World Cup Final!) in the Living Room where the service was top notch, and finished our stay with appetizers and drinks, also in the Living Room. The food and drinks are creative and delicious. Of course you can expect all of the modern luxury of W Hotels here, with a fun Asian twist. I highly recommend the W San Francisco for your next trip to the Bay Area! July 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Johnsanfrancisco Hotel room cleanliness I have stayed here quite a few times and noticed the drop of hotel upkeep in the past year. Our room had many issues, not worth switching rooms for, but concerns that will affect choosing this hotel in the future. First the wallpaper in a section of the room had a large tear and water damage. The cushions in the 'sitting area' are completely worn and dirty. Various scuffs everywhere. Out A/C was set very low and on HI but never managed to reach the temperature all night. On a positive note, we enjoyed the espresso machine and the room was very quiet. I just feel like the nice 'W' experience was mediocre at best and although the location is nice I will definitely try st. Regis across the street for a new comparable July 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CAtravelerFromNY Great Decor. Courteous Staff. This hotel has all the markings of a modern contemporary style. Welcome mats on the elevator for each time of day was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and courteous. The room was a little smaller than I expected but featured convenient amenities like a multi charging station for mobile devices (no Lighting connecter for newer Apple OS devices). My only complaint was the breakfast menu at Trace seemed a little pedantic. Otherwise an enjoyable stay. July 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ericlee I expect more from a W Hotel I have stayed at many W Hotels and Starwood properties and this hotel was very disappointing. The rooms' doors and cabinets were ill fitting, so you could hear everyone else entering/exiting their room or closing a cabinet. They charge $14.95 per day for internet access. This is ridiculous. I think every hotel should have free wifi in the rooms and to charge SPG members is not a way to create loyalty. Finally, the gym was under construction, so many in several months it will be nice, but now it is a tiny room and a disaster..and no discount/credit was offered. July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jerryjudd WSF We'd Stay Forever Thanks the Vic the hotel manager my messed up reservation was handled perfectly and efficiently. Thanks to everyone who helped make our stay perfect. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AusGirls Trendy yet comfortable! Great hotel. Trendier looking foyer and reception than most others but did not loose sight of making us comforable. The rooms are smallish but not unusal in San Francisco but they use the space really well. Absolutely loved the window seat! July 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by GQ1959 Disappointing A building site was just outside my bedroom and builders on scaffolding able to look into my room (on the 14th floor. The noise was intolerable. Service at the bar (for food) was abysmal and necessitated a search for someone to serve us. This W hotel a major disappointment in comparison to others. In fairness the Manager did not charge for the bar food (when I chased him down) and also offered to change our room however it was all too little too late. I would stay in other Starwood hotels but not this one July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WJWJr47 Hotel is very accommodating Great location for my business meetings. Staff from front desk to room attendants were attentive and responsive. Food/Breakfast was excellent too. Jim Weaver July 13, 2014

This is a US Forest Service campground on Lake Moomaw in Virginia. We stayed in Loop #1 site 19 which has 30 amp electric but no water or serwer. The drinking water tap is only about 100' from the site so I was able to hook up a hose to refill my water tank. The site is relatively level, I needed about 2" of lift on the curb side. Everything in this loop was clean and neat and very quiet (we were there during the week), the restrooms were clean as were the showers. You can't see the lake from the upper loop, but if you want to really rough it (no electric) the lower loop sites are all waterfront. The lake and surrounding area are absolutely beautiful, with mountains totally surrounding the lake. There is a beautiful sandy beach, about a mile away, (no life gaurds) and the water is clean, sandy bottomed and warm. There is a marina where you can launch and retrieve boats, but no gas is available. There is no additional charge for the use of these facilities if you are a camper.
Getting there:
We went by way of I64 to 252 which turns into Rt 42 which takes you to Millboro where you get RT 39 to Warm Springs and the Rt 39 and Rt 220 intersection. Route 42 had only one stretch of fairly steep twisty road (5-10 miles) but the rest was pretty easy. Route 39 (after the 220 intersection) on the other hand has a very steep, up and down, and very twisty (multiple hairpins) stretch to the Rt 600 intersetion. I suggest taking Rt. 687 (Jackson River Turnpike) which avoids the climb and descent. It will turn to dirt for about 3 miles but the road is in good shape. It has no guard rails and there are some pretty good drop offs and narrow spots. Decide for yourself which is best for you.
When you get to the camprground there is nobody in the booth at the entrance, just go to your site and the campground "host" will come to your site and check you in. - scjenk

If you want an escape from phone, TV, etc then this is the place. Only one radio station available. It was difficult to find a site that I could level out. Had it been during the busy season I would not have been able to change my spot. This was definitely off season with less than 5 campers there. Only one campground open. Hunting season open and Forest Service employee recommended to not go into woods without bright reflective clothing. Lake level is down almost 20 feet but there were some boats out there. I felt too isolated after 4 nights and left one day early. Nice facility but because of isolation I will probably not return. - obxblond
Aug 2011 - $20.00
If you're looking for relaxation this is the place (no cell service)! Bath houses were rebuilt last year with an improved layout. Several spaces are large enough to fit the trailer, boat and two pick-ups, though it is a little tight. I wish more spaces had electric and water hook-ups, but otherwise you can't beat it. - Central Virginia

This is one of many primitive campgrounds located in the George Washington National Forest. A one-lane gravel loop with thirty back-in sites with mostly level gravel parking pads. Self registration, no hookups, no showers, vault toilets, heavy woods, most campers seemed to be locals, very quiet and rustic. There is a dump station located near the exit. A number of water faucets are located around the loop but you may hold up the minimal traffic here as you fill your water tank. Water was brown and a notice said it was borderline safe for consumption. We used this place for an overnight stop although it is a forty-five minute drive north from I-64 over narrow and steep winding roads. Best to stay a while and enjoy the hiking and fishing in the area. I would have given a higher rating if the water quality had been better. - CDB

School is back in session, which means teachers are scrambling to fit everything into a crowded day and students are getting accustomed to hearing that word homework.
For most of us, it means vacations are put off for another year, or at least until that first break hits sometime in October. Despite the hectic pace of fall, there is one trip that beckons me nearly every day — catching a train to Anywhere, USA.
I grew up as a railroader's daughter. My father was an engineer for decades, and the love of trains still pulses within me. In today's fast-paced world where kids are tied to video games or texting or emailing, I can't help but think of what an incredible adventure they may have missed out on by not riding a train.
As a kid, I remember riding in the sleeper car with my mother and sister as we left the confines of Detroit to head home. Somehow, a mistake had been made in our sleeping quarters, and the three of us found ourselves crowded onto a tiny bed that was not much larger than a cot. We jostled from side to side, listened to the hum of the wheels on the tracks, awakened to every lurch, yet loved every minute of it.
My fondest memory, however, was climbing aboard a train bound for St. Louis on a Girl Scout trip, and knowing my dad was the engineer. I can still see his white t-shirt hanging out the window of the engine as the train slowly inched its way around a bend.
Even now, when I lie awake at night, I often hear the train running through the Center Grove area. That mournful whistle is somehow comforting to me and makes me smile. I often hear the sound of the train's whistle echoing through the hills of Brown County at our little cabin and wonder how many deer have leaped off of the tracks just in time.
I must admit I don't love to fly. I am a bit biased about riding on the train and love sharing that experience with my family. Riding through the Sierra Nevada and gazing at the beauty of the land or taking a ride to Alaska where the splendor seizes your breath — just the thought makes me want to book a ticket now. Watching the engine meander around the curve always makes me wonder what incredible sights are just ahead.
Although those long trips might be out of the question, a shorter and more economic trip is easily available for those who want to climb aboard the old train for a tiny look back into time. Gone are the days when trains ran every hour or so and Union Station in Indianapolis was the busiest hub in the Midwest, with the exception of Chicago.
Instead, train enthusiasts can board Amtrak's Hoosier State train at Union Station around
6 a.m. and return back to Indy at nearly midnight. The fare varies, depending on how many people have purchased tickets. Lots of other destinations can be booked out of Chicago for the traveler who is not in a big hurry.
The next time you see a train or hear its melancholy whistle in the distance, just imagine what it would be like to climb aboard, enjoy an apple from the dining car and gaze out its windows at the fleeting countryside. Trains are an impressive part of our history, and it is grand to know we can still be part of that tradition.
Destination, Anywhere, USA! All aboard!

Back in their days, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft were known for trust-busting. In an era of price-fixing, crony capitalism and corruption their actions helped to create more opportunities in the marketplace by creating competition.
Our nation's founders were well versed in the lessons of the history that preceded them. They knew of power's natural tendency to escalate into greater power.
So they included the Bill of Rights, based on the notion of individual self-determination.

"BORN WITH THE LAKE" Villa El Chocón by Orkaena
Villa El Chocón Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 26 photos
Located at 70 kilometers to the southwest of the capitol city of Neuquen, the little and lazy village of El Chocón technically was born on the last days of the 60 decade, when the contractor assigned to built the great dam on the Limay river, made of stones and lime (yes, lime, it isn't cement) should install accomodations for thousands of workers and engineers.
Once finished the dam works and started to generate electricity the workers emigrated again leaving behind them all the facilities and accomodations empty. Of course for this moment some little shops and essential services were installed too and then some people decided to live beside this huge new lake and the astonishing surrounds created by him.
But during the excavations works for the dam something strange happen, began to appear a rare collection of huge fossile bones, gigantic someones, and a lot.
The University started to investigate and they found that the bones belongs to dinosaurs with more than 100 millions years. Bingo.
Huge quantities of complete fossile skeletons of new specimens, almost all of them belonging to unknown species.
A crowd of enthusiastic palaeontologists from every corner of the planet came to investigate the new discovery, and found more than bones, they found fossilized steps, almost in perfect conditions, but a regrettable fact hits the palaeo universe, the growing artificial lake will cover all of them or almost. Just only a few traces survives until today, and due to the tourism and the lack of caress they are disappearing. What a pity.
- Pros:Wonderful, almost original wilderness
- Cons:needs more touristic services
- In a nutshell:The New Noah Ark

Unidos Venceremos 2 Group
Bladimir plans to use this loan to invest in his business selling fruit juice and small pastries, which is the family's primary source of income. He will purchase a sack of flour, two and a half sacks of sugar and five dozen varieties of fruits.
Bladimir came to Esperanza with the goal of improving his business through access to credit, and is now on his third loan after having successfully repaid the first two. With the added benefits coming from increased productive capacity, Bladimir hopes to be able to move out of his rented home and purchase his own home. In the long term, he dreams of one day purchasing a truck to help expand his mobile fruit juice business. He thanks you all for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The nominations for Tioga and Vernon Downs stakes are in and the numbers are up virtually across the board.
Topping the charts is the Miss Versatility (mare trot),benefiting from a restructuring of the series. Increasing the number of preliminary legs to four, raising the purse for each from $25,000 to $40,000 and staging two at Mohawk Racetrack has resulted in a gain of 80 percent (from 21 to 38) for mares paid in. The Muscle Hill (mare trot) and Artiscape (mare pace) both show gains while the Bettors Delight and Credit Winner (open events) are each down a couple.
The Kindergarten Trotting Classic continues to attract huge numbers with 169 colts and 166 fillies making the first payment, an increase of 8 percent over last year.
The 2012 Empire Breeders Classic (EBC) for 3YO New York breds held even while 2YO nominations to the 2013 EBC increased by 7 percent.
Complete lists of eligibles complete with pedigree for all 2 & 3YO events are posted on the Tioga & Vernon websites.
Live racing is now less than a month away at Vernon (April 27) and Tioga begins a week later on May 5.
There remains limited availability for stabling at Tioga for the summer meet. Call Jason Bluhm at (607) 699-7688 with inquiries. (Tioga/Vernon)

Sheffield Trail-Rush™
Sunday 24th May 2015 - Starting and Finishing in Graves Park
Welcome to Sheffield Trail-Rush™
Sheffield Trail-Rush™ will take place on Sunday 24th May 2015.
Sheffield Trail-Rush™ is a trail race based on the famous Sheffield Round Walk route, which is approximately 24.5km (15.2 miles) in length and includes a grand tour of Sheffield's beautiful parks and woodland, whilst skirting the Peak District National Park. Mostly linked by footpaths and trails, our race route is 79% off-road and 21% on-road.
The Sheffield Trail-Rush™ course is challenging and adventurous with 700m (2,300 ft) of ascent in total as we follow the fantastic route of the Sheffield Round Walk. Already dubbed the 'Sheffield Round Race', the route is well known to local runners, many of whom consider it to be one of the best urban trail runs in Sheffield… if not the entire north!
The course will be fully way marked, signed and marshalled. We are also using an advanced digital timing system to briefly 'time-out' competitors at road crossings if it is not safe to cross immediately. This will give runners a genuine and continuous race experience.
Sheffield Trail-Rush™ starts and finishes in Graves Park where there will be an exciting, family friendly atmosphere at the Event Centre. Whether you are a first time trail runner or a seasoned pro, Sheffield Trail-Rush™ offers you a safe yet challenging trail running experience.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Veteran actress Kirron Kher hopes that "Tere Bin Laden 2" does work wonders for her son Sikander, who has so far failed to make a mark in Bollywood.
Sikander is Kirron's son with her first husband Gautam Berry. She is now married to actor Anupam Kher.
When asked if the couple plans to relaunch Sikander, Kirron said: "We don't have any plans as such. Waqt se pehle aur kismat se zyada kisiko kuch nahi milta (before time and more than destiny, nobody gets anything)."
"Now he is doing 'Tere Bin Laden 2'. Let us see how it works. The makers are very happy with his work and so is Sikander. Let's hope this film works for him," Kirron told reporters here.
Sikander made his Bollywood debut with "Woodstock Villa" in 2008. He was later seen in "Summer 2007", "Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey", "Players" and "Aurangzeb".
Meanwhile, Kirron is busy promoting her forthcoming film "Total Siyappa" in which she will be seen sharing screen space with her husband Anupam.
"Anupam is very easy going person and he likes to live and let live. He doesn't get into my space and neither does he like it if someone gets into his space.
"We were very comfortable working with each other in this film. Anupam has a guest appearance in it," she said.
Directed by E. Niwas, "Total Siyappa" also features Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam.

Visit the Conservative Mag Rack!
Learn the Rules of Chess
In the 1700s it was called political economy. Now we call it political science. Charles de Montesquieu in his voluminous book on politics and government wrote the definitive work on how and why governments work.
This book was widely read by the founders of the United States. This work, through historical example and exemplary reasoning illustrates the absolute necessity of a government ruled by a balance of power. Montesquieu understood that there were certain elements in society that had to be controlled and yet deserved and demanded a say in government. He also saw there was a salutary role for each of these.
The executive branch of government needed to be under the control of a single individual in order to make it effective. The powers of the executive needed to border on dictatorial. However, he understood that they had to be tempered. To do this he recommended a role for the commons and the upper classes.
His critique on government was almost directly responsible for the formation of the American Senate and House of Representatives as well as a supreme court.
This classic study is a must read for anyone intending an in-depth study of political science.

About This Item
Picking right up where Charlie and the Chocolate Factory left off, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator continues the adventures of Charlie Bucket, his family, and Willy Wonka, the eccentric candy maker. As the book begins, our heroes are shooting into the sky in a glass elevator, headed for destinations unknown. What follows is exactly the kind of high-spirited magical madness and mayhem we've all come to expect from Willy Wonka and his creator Roald Dahl. The American space race gets a send-up, as does the President, and Charlie's family gets a second chance at childhood. Throw in the Vermicious Knids, Gnoolies, and Minusland and we once again witness pure genius.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WJLA) - Ken Cuccinelli had quite the busy and far-reaching schedule Tuesday, beginning with an early morning stop in Abingdon to talk about coal issues and then on to Roanoke and Harrisonburg to talk about his K-12 education platform.
After the final stop of what he dubbed his "I-81 tour," at James Madison University, Virginia's soft-spoken Republican candidate for governor was asked about a couple of polls that came out today, both of which show him falling further behind Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe. POLITICO has him down by nine points.
Cuccinelli softly chuckled and shook his head as he walked to his car after the brief JMU session. Are the latest polls ominous?
"I haven't even seen them - you're the first person to mention them to me," he said. "So the short answer is no. I mean, for us, we're focusing on turning out our folks, and that means everybody who agrees with us on an issue like education. . .
"A lot of people are just now starting to turn and pay attention, so we've got to be staying busy and getting our message out for the duration of these four weeks, and I'm confident that when we get to election day, we're going to be on (top in) the poll that matters."
Indeed, a lot of people are, in fact, beginning to pay attention to the race - which happens to be occurring at the same time U.S. Senator Ted Cruz is making national headlines almost daily because of his tactics that helped lead to the government shutdown.
Cruz, a Tea Party Republican, was the featured speaker at an ultra-conservative dinner last Saturday in Richmond where Cuccinelli also delivered comments - comments in which never referred to Cruz by name.
Asked if the reason for that was to get a bit of separation between him and the controversial Cruz, Cuccinelli laughed.
"I don't think he's dragging me down," Cuccinelli said. "He's a Texas senator. . .(so) it doesn't have a whole lot of resonance in my race."
Cuccinelli confirmed he didn't stick around for Cruz' speech or subsequent photo ops.
"I left after I spoke," he said. "I spoke first."
Pressed, Cuccinelli dismissed any potential Cruz effect on his campaign.
"I'm running for governor of Virginia, and so I stay focused on Virginia, and I don't know why that should surprise you," he said.
