The first & second season of Blood Ties is now available on DVD, continuing the story of the sexy, hot private investigator Vicki Nelson (Christina Cox) who gets a little help from her friends, handsome police detective Mike Celluci (Dylan Neal) and the local artist/writer/vampire female heartthrob Henry Fitzroy (Kyle Schmid). At least she used to get help from these two, but season two starts off with a lot of conflict for the characters. It seems that Vicki's reliance on Mike and her on again/off again love for him is causing some mental anguish along with problems at work with his boss. Celluci must decide if he's willing to risk his livelihood and career for Vicki and her wild adventures dealing with vampires, demons, witches and zombies.
Henry, on the other hand, about bites the dust. Vicki makes a deal with the Devil in her actions that she takes to save Fitzroy. Instead of being appreciative he becomes angry with her and begins seeking a new Canadian city to live in partially due to her actions and partially due to her on again/off again fascination and love for Henry.
7 DVDs or Blu-Ray discs collects 22 episodes, a photo galleies and a preview of the seasons and a few interviews. Unfortunately the series gets staked and laid to rest way before the storyline from the novls was fully explored. There is some talk about reviving the show due to the overwhelming response from the fan base but who knows what the future holds for this Vampire Detective series based on the excellently written books by Tanya Huff (Daw Books). More information and possibly your voice can be heard at the Blood Ties petition site.
If you never had the opportunity to see the series but enjoy some of the other recent vampire TV programs that have come, gone or are currently playing you will probably enjoy Blood Ties. Although there is sexual tension and some action with violence, the series doesn't quite make a PG-13 rating. Nothing overtly sexual or gore-soaked. By the same token this is not material and subject matter meant for young kids. The scripts are relatively well-written; the cinematography is pretty decent, although there are some still images used for exteriors of the building Henry lives in that are a bit weak; the directing could be a little better, especially with attention to continuity and realism with some of the violence and action; but the acting is very well done. All three main characters are pretty believable and though there isn't quite as much depth to them as there is in the novels, there is enough there within the actor's abilites to help the viewer relate to the characters. It really is a shame this series didn't see the light of the moon for a third season.
The running time totals just over 17 hours. It's presented in full screen and Dolby Digital Stereo. It is closed captioned but there are no subtitles. There is a thin, 4-page color booklet in the case, but as far as extras go the set lacks a little.

Managing feline anxiety can become a serious matter for cat owners. The most common occurrence of anxiety in cats is called separation anxiety, in which indicators take place right before, for the duration of and directly after the owner's absence. Nevertheless, anxiety also can be caused by alterations in schedule, such as moving to a new home, the owner changing from first to second shift, bringing in a dog or cat or the loss of a beloved family member.
Most cat owners will notice an alteration in their feline companion's behavior as the first signal of a concern. For instance, an as a rule active bird watcher may no longer show interest in sitting in his/her favorite hangout. Other samples of behavioral changes are lack of interest in much loved toys, bashfulness, antagonism, loss of affection and following the owner around the house.
Felines, when stressed, may drastically alter their eating habits. For case in point, a cat suffering from separation anxiety—possibly due to the absence or entire loss of an owner—may have need of someone at her/his side during feeding time, or the cat may quit eating completely.
Anxiety also may be the root reason a cat may be vomiting. In most cases, vomiting usually takes place when the owner has left the home. Conversely, it can also be due to adjustments in meal time, guests in the dwelling or even to get some much needed attention. The vomit can differ and may be clear, yellow in color, or contain food bits or even blood—chiefly in a stressed cat.
Changes in grooming habits are also a giant indication of anxiety in cats. Some cats may discontinue grooming all together, while others may start to groom themselves in excess... Each change can lead to red and irritated skin, dry skin, hair loss, itching and dandruff. In acute cases, the cat may severely damage the skin by chewing, causing secondary infections.
In atypical cases, the affected cat may take on forms of unwanted, destructive behavior. For illustration, destructive behavior would include scratching at doors or windows in an attempt to escape or be back together with an owner. Some cats may scratch so markedly that their claws wear down until they bleed or become infected. They also may urinate on personal items such as the bed or area rugs.

LAS VEGAS-You couldn't plan a better moment for a media day.
Just as Floyd "Money" Mayweather ended his video interviews with a number of TV types, they began heading out of the steamy premises only to be stopped by a sudden downpour from the monsoon weather surrounding the Las Vegas boxing gym. Those trying to depart scampered right back into the cramp and humid gym. The weather was definitely on Mayweather's side.
Wednesday afternoon saw more than 100 journalists enter the gym that Mayweather built to give the media one last opportunity for photos and video shoots. On Sept. 14, Mayweather (44-0, 26 Kos) fights Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 Kos) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Golden Boy Promotions is staging the event and Showtime pay-per-view will show the fight.
Mayweather is a polished veteran when it comes to media days and how to utilize it for not just his own purpose, but to showcase his roster of fighters under the Mayweather Promotions banner.
IBF junior middleweight titlist Ishe Smith was in full speed at the gym going through his workout routine. The Las Vegas resident was the first male fighter to win a world title, not the first fighter. That distinction goes to Melinda Cooper, who won a flyweight world title back in 2006. Smith will be defending against Carlos Molina on Sept. 14.
One of Smith's sparring partners is DonYil Livingston, a middleweight from Lancaster, Calif. who was invited to the camp. He also sparred with Mayweather during the last few weeks. He had some interesting viewpoints on the Mayweather system.
"You can't just go in there and spar," said Livingston. "You got to be a good shape to go in there. It's a whole different level especially with Mayweather."
Mayweather has been proving for years that his level of fighting is at a whole different plateau. Only a scant few have been able to win a round against the Las Vegas prizefighter. It's a reason that most call him the best boxer pound for pound in the world.
Media days are routine for Mayweather, who's been fighting since 1996 professionally. World titles at junior lightweight, lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight have been grabbed by the defensive boxing genius. Now he's returning back to the 154-pound weight division to see if Alvarez can offer any resistance.
"It's a whole different level in here," said Livingston. "It's a very humbling experience but I'm embracing it."
Mayweather said the same words to the press as if read from a script written back in the 1990s. In a way, it is the same script and has been the same results for 15 years. Fighters have come and gone and despite the ageing process, Mayweather continues to dominate the world boxing scene.
"Everybody has a plan," said Mayweather.
floyd looks good.
very sharp and his endurance is always top notch,,
floyd may have numerous altercations of being an idiot out of the ring but the guy knows what hes doing in it
I just don't see how Canelo can make 152 without sapping alot of strength. It looks like
Golden Boy went for the big money and weren't concerned for their fighter. Mayweather
is primed for an epic display of his fighting abilities and Canelo could be sliced and diced
to pieces. Canelo needs to move to middleweight before he ruins his body with these
dangerous bouts of weight cutting.
jizzy you are right
canelos best chance is just to come in at 154 and say F it, take the fine and put on a better performance..
this is a win win for both fighters, canelo wont be embarrassed he will simply lose, and
floyd will have convincingly beat a legit canelo with no weight drain and get full credit.....
Actually Money May is doing Canelo a favor. No way that the red-headed hype should be a light middle. Dude is just a lazy-arse, bad-dieting light welterweight. He is no less than a Mexican Ricky Hatton. And Money May is going to whup this lost twin of Redcoat Ricky's arse.
It doesn't matter! Redcoat of red hair, Money May in the paint all night like a boxing saint ain't in da light. Holla!
Yes, I've boxed. Or tried, anyway. LOL. In fact I have a sparring session now in South Beach.
I'm telling you. The guy can get down there if he has someone with knowledge monitoring it.
Not all that garbage bag stuff or sauna or other old school boxing techniques. I'm talking some hot showers and some reduced water intake and no salt. With Mike Dolce in his corner, he could probably make 140 -- I kid you not.
He can lose 15% of his walking around weight without any problems, if it's monitored correctly. He won't feel too good at the weigh-in but he will feel like a spring rooster come fight night.
I'd love to hear your experience cutting weight, you used to fight right?
Canelo is indeed a lazy arse. He is a chubby lubby and should have never been fighting at the weight that he is. He is Redcoat Ricky Hatton Mexico. Canelo is not big framed muscled, but fatty loosey-moosey. Hehehe!
Money May is going to be hurting him with jabs and stabs to the torso. That arse, Money May is going to kayo. Money May is going to be fighter of the year for one of the easiest fight in a century of pugilism. This is the most exaggerated going to be a good fight since James Jeffries versus "Unforgivable Blackness" Jack Johnson. Holla!
Agreed (Your walking around in shape weight is your best fighting weight).
canelo will be no contest .... its actually ridiculous to think he has a chance. austin trout beat him really for christ sake... thank god for free links online .. i wouldnt pay for this...
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

TC TO PETER CUNNINGHAM ; 23 November 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18571123-TC-PC-01; CL 33: 123-124
Chelsea, 23 Novr, 1857—
My dear Sir,
Looking back a year and half, or more, you may perhaps be able to recal a Letter of Lord Hervey's1 (date about 1733 or '34, to whom addressed I have forgotten; giving a lively sketch of the sublime ennui and hopeless solemn vacancy of George II's Court, on a certain evening at Windsor),—which was shewn you by Forster, on my part, for the sake of getting some commentary from you on one or two of the Figures introduced. The Commentary, I remember, was kindly afforded: my Copy of the Letter with your commentary on it, and all the proper Apparatus Criticus, was there upon safely reposited here,—no doubt in the best place I cd choose for finding it again when the time shd come.
Well; time has come,—some use possible in that Letter for me now or else no chance of any ever;— —and, for my life, I cannot come upon the trace of it; cannot even find out what Book it was got from: it has gone again, like a little fish caught, into the immeasurable ocean with all its fishes and whales!— It is not in Hervey's Memoirs of George II;2 nowhere in Walpole;3 I cannot the least guess where it is.
If you could discover for me, or perhaps you know witht searching, and could beneficently point out,—I shd soon have another Copy.4 If you cannot, I must say good b'ye to the thing. I was by no means certain I could find use for it in the place where I am; but it is provoking not to be able to decide on clear grounds.
In the name of all rational mortals, I entreat you put a right Index to these your Walpole Volumes;5—also I hope you will gather the scattered Notices of Persons mentioned (footnotes, which one can never find again) into some kind of Alphabetical Order;—and in short are thinking (what has never yet in the least been done in 'editing' such Books) that perhaps here and there a rational human being, with serious purposes, may wish to read them humanly,—not bestially, as oxen eat from a hay—now they have got access to, solely for their momentary convenience!— — I design to be into yr Walpole (an excellt clever fellow, in spite of all the balderdash we have heard upon him), so soon as I am out of this dreadful Prussian Bottomless-Pool, where I can hardly swim alive.
Don't mind the Hervey letter much, or make long search after it. If you report nothing, I will make shift witht it, better or worse shift, who knows which!
Yours ever truly / T. Carlyle
Frank your brave Brother6 sent me a little Printed Piece (Sir T. Monroe's) out of India lately;7 whh I was very glad of. Kind regards at home, and to your good Mother especially.8 Ah me!—

Does "I fail to convey it" mean "I know but I don't explain it" or does it mean "I know and I try to explain it, but not well enough for people to understand it" or can it mean both?
What's another way to say, "I fail to convey it?"
Is the meaning of "I fail to convey it". Which happens unintentionally, possible reasons could be that:
Some examples of usage:
Well both.
IMO, "I fail to convey it" is an incomplete sentence and has the wrong tense too, it needs context on what the it is.
for example in these two sentences:
"I failed to convey your message correctly"
"I would fail to convey the information in time"
convey by itself means "to transport or communicate"
In such a case "fail to convey" can mean
a) I did not transport or communicate the message at all.
e.g: If I failed to convey a message to someone because I forgot or could not get time to or just did not feel like it.
b) Communicated incorrectly due to lack of understanding or clarity.
e.g: A translated work fails to convey the meaning of the original.

Anyone playing Ghost Recon Online?
Hi all,
Just querying if anyone is playing Ghost Recon Online at the moment?
Would like to fill my friend list with some TOGgers for fireteams if any is playing at the moment.
I tried it out tonight and had a blast. I was always better in the Tom Clancy shooters that use cover and more tactical approach in multiplayer.
IGN: MixZ
Just started this, have a friend trying it.
IGN: Wyn1
Ghost Recon--Never heard before. Sounds interesting. Will try this for sure.
Just tried this game tonight after seeing that Youtuber Ali-A (matriox) posted a in-game video of this, and just seeing this thread here of TOGgers playing.
I quite like it, reminds me of BFBC2 a bit; its one of those games where the teams dont' seem to be even. Your either dominating, or being dominated. Theres nothing in the middle it seems from my first 6 games (4 of which we were dominating, and I finished with MVP and Best Assault)
In-Game Name - methodunderg (Methical was already taken).
Will add those who have already listed there names tomorrow when I come back and play.
Figured out that if you go past level 5 with any class, you get taken out of the Beginner playlist and put into 'the deep end'. So L4 with Assault, and L3 with Specialist at the moment. Will L4 out Specialist and Recon before I 'move on' and play with the big guys.
Hope to see some TOGgers around in-game. Anyone created an in-game clan yet?
yes I'm playing
Hi Methical,
yes I've started playing this again after it came off Beta and I lost all my levels (I was over level 20 in all classes) so I'm back down at level 1-4 damn!! . will keep an eye out for you ;)
Do you guys mean the new Phantoms game?
Hey Dave,know this is a bit late,but i just joined TOG,I love GR and play a few rounds every day or so,you can add me in game or on Steam if you want to play a few,either way the tag is "Resistivism"
3rd person hmmmm

Issue— #14
Following last fall's acclaimed "mix tape" edition of Black Clock, which summarized the magazine's first seven years, issue #14 introduces a Black Clock that's new in look and design even as it continues to press beyond the creative barriers the national literary journal already has broken. Both in its contributors and subject matter, this new Black Clock finds women on the verge: of revelation, euphoria, madness and history.

Peugeot released an official 3-minutes long video featuring Peugeot 208 design team explaining us how they shaped the bodywork of the newborn B-segment car.
The 208 represents a significant step forward for the French carmaker as it is definitely a huge improvement over the model it is going to replace, the 207. This ambitious car is smaller and yet more roomy than its predecessor, it is 110 kg lighter, boasts a more modern design and features many details that would make it a small-size premium model: LED technology for head and tail light, infotainment system and chrome finishing for instance.
Peugeot 208 is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012 in both 3 and 5 door configurations. The engine range consists of a 1.0 and a 1.2 three-cylinder petrol units (producing 68 hp and 84 hp respectively) with CO2 emissions of 87 g/km and a claimed average fuel consumption of 3,4 l/100 km, and a pair of no-better-specified turbocharged diesel units emitting less than 99g/km of CO2.

Androgyny and Managerial Effectiveness in a Total Quality Management Organization
Date: August 1994
Creator: Byers, Lori A. (Lori Ann)
Description: The majority of studies concerning psychological sex and management style have indicated that people consider the masculine style of managing to be the most popular. However, such studies are out of date and/or were usually measuring the perceptions of surveyed college students. Few studies have focused on successful managers in successful organizations. A modified version of the Bern Sex Role Inventory was distributed to 52 managers in a Total Quality Management organization. This study hypothesized that successful managers would be androgynous managers. The results of the study indicated that successful managers are androgynous managers, and that there is no significant difference in the number of female and male androgynous managers.

A Communication Based Model of Power
Date: December 1995
Creator: Keefer, Larry D. (Larry Dale)
Description: We are affected greatly by power, and often do not understand what power is, how it is used, and its many other facets. Power and communication are interrelated, but how they relate to each other has been hard to understand. The model presented in this thesis explicates the relationship between the two critical variables. Power is portrayed as a hierarchical structure that is based on influence (communication) where the intensity and likelihood of success of power attempts increase as the level of power increases. The hierarchical structure has four levels, including influence at its base, and prominence, authority and control at the higher levels.

Social Drama at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary : The Dilday Controversy
Date: December 1995
Creator: Drake, Webster F. (Webster Ford)
Description: This study examines the events surrounding the firing of Russell Dilday at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary as a social drama. The results suggest that, for application to post-industrial cultures, adaptations need to be made to Victor Turner's original method. The addition of Thomas Farrell's anticipation phase, identification of the breach with the transgression, and examination of unique facets of post-industrial cultures such as economic factors and the role of the media are recommended modifications. In light of these differences, the study concludes that the state of affairs at Southwestern is characteristic of schism in a post-industrial culture.

A Study of the Relationships among Relational Maintenance Strategy Usage, Communicator Style and Romantic Relational Satisfaction
Date: August 1996
Creator: Hardin, Charla (Charla LeeAnn)
Description: This thesis examined student-participants' self-reported use of romantic relational maintenance strategies and their partners' reports of relational satisfaction. Additionally, individuals outside the romantic relationship reported on student-participants' general communicator style. The research proposed that general style reports would be predictive of relational maintenance strategy usage and of romantic partners' relational satisfaction. The study found that general style behaviors may not be indicative of relational maintenance strategy usage or romantic partners' relational satisfaction. Tests of sex differences revealed that females' expression of various relational maintenance strategies and style behaviors are associated with male partners' relational satisfaction; however, no results were obtained indicating specific behaviors expressed by males result in female partners' relational satisfaction.

A Study of the Relationships among Student Expectations about Teacher Nonverbal Immediacy, Student Perceptions of Teacher Nonverbal Immediacy, and Affective Learning in Distance Learning and the On-Site Classroom
Date: July 1997
Creator: Witt, Paul L.
Description: This thesis explored the relationships among three communication variables in college-level instruction: students' expectancy about teachers' nonverbal immediacy, students' actual perceptions of teachers' nonverbal immediacy, and students' affective learning. Community college students enrolled in either distance learning or a traditional classroom course completed pre-course and mid-course questionnaires to indicate their expectations and observations of the nonverbal immediacy behaviors of their teachers. Analysis showed that students expected and perceived less nonverbal immediacy from tele-course teachers than from on-site teachers, but that perceptions significantly exceeded expectations. Research findings indicated that students' expectancies about teachers' nonverbal immediacy may influence the measurement of affective learning.

A Dialectical Approach to Studying Long-Distance Maintenance Strategies
Date: August 1997
Creator: Maguire, Katheryn C. (Katheryn Coveley)
Description: Using both qualitative and quantitative methodology, this thesis investigates the tactics used by long-distance relational partners, the differences in use of the tactics between long-distance and proximal partners, the relationship among the maintenance tactics, and the relationship of the tactics to relational satisfaction. Seven relational maintenance strategies were identified from the investigation: affirmation, expression, high tech mediated communication, low tech mediated communication, future thought, negative disclosure, and together-time. Significant differences in the use of maintenance tactics between long-distance and proximal partners were discovered and several tactics were found to correlate with relational satisfaction for both relationship types. It is concluded that relational maintenance should be viewed from a multi-dimensional perspective that recognizes the impact relational dialectics have on relationships.

Poppin' Their Thang: African American Blueswomen and Multiple Jeopardy
Date: August 1997
Creator: Wright, Delane E. (Delane Elizabeth)
Description: This ethnographic analysis examines the life stories and lyrics of four African blues singers. Specifically, it compares the cultural themes that emerge their life stories to the cultural themes at emerge from their commercially released music. The findings suggest that the singers recognize, to varying degrees, the impact of racism, sexism, and classism on their personal and careers. These same themes, however, are not present in the lyrics of the music that they choose to sing. Both the stories and the lyrics reveal internal inconsistencies that mirror one another. The conclusion suggests that the inconsistencies within their stories and music are consistent with their liminal position with regard to dominant and subordinate cultures.

text: There have been a number of racers from Idaho who have campaigned alcohol-fueled Funny Cars. Included amongst those who can be called former Idaho Funny Car shoes is Jeff Kubal. Although he raced for a pretty short period of time, Kubal did have one of the more unique bodies, if memory serves, this is a Chrysler Cordoba shell. The car never did run all that fast, but he did have a good time running it at Firebird from time-to-time.

Women's Basketball Falls To URI, 55-50
Feb. 29, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Edris Bailey (Mt. Hope, Trinidad & Tobago) and freshman Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario) each had 10 points and seven rebounds as the University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (6-21, 2-14) fell to the University of Rhode Island, 55-50, this afternoon on Senior Day at the Mullins Center.
The Rams trailed 27-24 at the half, but used an 8-0 run to start the second half in taking a 32-27 lead. Massachusetts came right back to take a 33-32 advantage and led 39-36 before the Rams rattled off a 9-0 run to take a 45-39 lead with 7:14 to play. With both Bailey and Tatham in foul trouble, UMass needed one of its guards to step and and Ashley Sharpton (Conyers, Ga.) did just that. She nailed two three-pointers in a 50 second span to tie the game at 45 with 5:57 left in regulation.
Bailey went to the free throw line with UMass trailing by two with 2:39 left, but made just one of two shots. The Rams then built the lead up to five points, 53-48, with1:01 left. Senior Judit Zsedenyi (Budapest, Hungary) made two free throws to bring UMass within three with 41 seconds left. URI's Katie Stailing then went to the line for a 1-and-1 with 20 seconds left to try and ice the game, but missed the front end. The Minutewomen, who were out of timeouts took the ball down the floor, but Denise King picked off the pass that was intended for Sharpton right in front of the UMass bench. She sank both free throws and gave URI just its second .500 season in conference play since 1995-96.
The 10 points and seven rebounds by Bailey and Tatham led the Minutewomen. Freshman Joyce Massey (Detroit, Mich.) also had nine points. Senior Glamora Maeweather (Country Club Hills, Ill.) had eight points and five boards, while Zsedenyi finished with seven points.
UMass committed 25 turnovers and shot 43 percent from the field. The Rams shot 29 percent and took 26 more shots than the Minutewomen. URI out-rebounded UMass, 42-34, and 19-3 on the offensive glass. Denise King led the Rams with 16 points. Tanya Rhodes added 14 points and 11 boards.
The Minutewomen will head to Philadelphia for the Atlantic 10 Tournament as the sixth seed in the East. They will face Duquesne, the third seed out of the West, in the first round on Friday, March 5, at 2:00 p.m.

A special treat for all, in the beautiful and charming city of San Juan Capistrano, lies RokPrime Steakhouse & Grille. This charming spot offers old world charm and a delightful and delicious dining experience. Ten Dollar lunches are offered daily. You can't beat the top quality of each item's sumptuous taste and appeal. The chef takes pride in preparing these beautiful dishes and just viewing the served items is a mouth watering experience. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which was my choice, is organic and herb-marinated and includes Jack Cheese, tomato, a honey Dijon slaw and mounted onto a whole grain warm Ciabatta. The bread is wonderful and so light. It doesn't interfere with the full flavors of the sandwich. The honey Dijon slaw is so tasty with the perfect amount of sweetness that it compliments the sandwich to perfection. This is truly an unforgettable sandwich experience. Also offered on the $10 menu is a Cheddar Cheeseburger, Fish Tacos and a Soup and Salad Combo. All entrees offer a choice of french fries, yam fries, summer slaw or mixed greens.
RokPrime has been in San Juan Capistrano for many months and is considered a "New Age Steakhouse." The restaurant serves only USDA natural Black Angus Beef, wagyu beef, all natural pork, fresh seafood and organic chicken. All Rok steaks and seafood are cooked on their signature hot volcanic Rok and use only Himalayan Pink Rock Salt.
The menu additionally offers an array of appetizers, salads choices, steaks, seafood, special entrees, sandwiches and desserts. If you are in the mood for some warm sunshine and outdoor dining, Saturday is a great day to dine on the rear outdoor patio. You'll surely find some great musicians playing the blues and other genres for your dining pleasure.
On a special note, the management and wait staff demonstrate a superb customer experience. Our meal was more enhanced with the special attention given to us. The manager, Sari Lafer, provided us with so much history of the restaurant and talked about the specialties of the house and how everything is prepared. A truly gracious experience and a high recommendation to each of you to have a new dining experience.

Himizu Movie Reviews
User reviews on Himizu
I really liked this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I thought the film was very interesting and I liked how the story was told and how the film looked. I found the film to be very compelling and in my opinion director Sion Sono is an absolute genius and he is one of the most significant directors of our time. The lead performances were absolutely amazing and I was very impressed, they definitely made this film even more special. Overall, I think this was a wonderful film and I hope people will give it a chance and see it on the big screen.

Recently, I took a cruise on Carnival's ship Carnival Pride. It was a pleasure, everything about the cruise was first rate. However, what I was pleasantly surprised to notice was the crew. They all seemed to take pleasure in their work and be genuinely glad to help me whenever I needed anything.
I met with the Hotel Director, Nikki Khanna, an Indian and Mirel Cimic, a Croatian, who is the Guest Services Manager. Nikki has a staff of 750 who work under his direction. I learned that they look for employees who are truly people oriented and who have a desire to offer good service to the guests. That seems a rather obvious criteria. They also added that they want the staff who work for them to have fun with the guests. That was surprising as I could easily see how there is a line which is never crossed or even approached. These people seemed to me to genuinely be anything but uptight corporate executives and seemed very human.
"The crew works from four to nine months on and then takes two months off. They are expected to return after their shore leave and take up their jobs and offer service again,." says Nikki Khanna. I think that these two professionals have to be very clear with their charges not create trouble in the ranks.
There is a staff to passengers ratio of 1 to 4 in relation to the numbers for staff to guests. Many first class hotels do not have a ratio this high. It does allow for the crew to provide unhurried service to the clients. Upon the conclusion of the voyage, the passengers are asked to fill out a "Total Guest Experience Monitor" survey. These reports are taken quite seriously by the staff. There is training offered while the employees are on shipboard. "We constantly train the staff," says Mr. Khanna. I can see that he means what he says.
If you have an opportunity to take a cruise vacation on Carnival, don't miss the opportunity to notice the staff as they are quite wonderful.

A rocket exploded in one of the groups of the Mandalorians who were charging out.
"Stay apart!! Spread out!!" He snarled at the other Mandalorians, making sure they heard him. He wouldn't lose anymore men to stupidity.
He raised his rifle to his visor and aimed at a nearby StormTrooper position.
He zeroed in and opened fire, killing off the troopers in a matter of moments. More Mandalorians poured forward, quickly overtaking enemy positions and practically slaughtering the Imperials unfortunate enough to be here.
Garrick ran forward and jumped into a crater that had just appeared from the last missile strike.
Durrel and Kajumo jumped in as well.
He nodded to them.
"We have to keep moving, otherwise those turrets will rip our troops to pieces."
He looked over at a nearby bunker wall, it was deserted as the Mandalorian bombardment had smashed its inhabitants.
Garrick pointed over to it.
"Kajumo, set up Division command over there. We'll coordinate every move until we can reach the second line of defense."
Kajumo nodded and jumped up, already sprinting to the position, motioning for the command crews to follow.
Garrick looked back at Durrel, "Take a platoon and hold the dropzone for our Jedi friends. If they come, you'll be the first to see them. Pass the word once they come to reinforce us."
Durrel nodded, "Yes....Mand'alor!"
He then jumped out of the crater as well.
Garrick smiled, "No...not Mand'alor quite yet..."
He then looked at a figure that he recognized all too well. The Dark Jedi they had battled on Amshrey.
He took out his sword and charged forward.

However Ralph is probably best known for his starring role in the ABC-TV sitcom "On Our Own," which aired during the immensely popular TGIF block on Friday nights, and which currently airs in syndication on TV One. You can also catch Ralph on TV in airings of his two previously recorded Cable TV specials – "Comedy Central Presents" and the "HBO Half-Hour Comedy Special." When he's not filming, Ralph continues to tour the country and perform to sold-out audiences as a stand-up comedian, his first career and love.

College Hockey:Staked To Big Lead, BU Hangs On To Top Providence
Spang Nets Two In Terrier Win
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Too little, too late for Providence College worked just fine for Boston University.
The eighth-ranked Terriers scored four straight goals, three of them in the second period, to take a big lead over the Friars before holding on for dear life in a 6-4 win. It was the Hockey East opener for both squads in front of a sold-out Schneider Arena gathering of 3,030.
Diminutive defenseman Dan Spang scored twice for the Terriers (2-0-1), but the 5-1 lead Kenny Magowan had given BU prior to the evening's midpoint was in deep trouble after the Terriers allowed Providence to score the game's final three goals.
Colin McDonald scored his first as a Friar with the team shorthanded and Chris Chaput's second of the season made it 5-3 as the two sides completed two periods of play. Senior Cody Loughlean cut the deficit to one at 5-4 at 8:56 of the third, though it was as close as the home team could crawl.
Providence (4-1-0) nearly completed the improbable comeback, too. After coach Paul Pooley pulled his goaltender from the nets in the final minute defenseman Stephen Wood had BU goaltender Sean Fields dead to rights. But Wood's wrister with under 30 seconds remaining in regulation sailed over the net and crashed into the glass behind Fields (22 saves).
The miss came back to haunt Providence. Brian McConnell's empty-netter with under 10 seconds left wrapped it up.
"We made it 5-1, and we were hoping the game was over," said BU coach Jack Parker. "They just kept battling. Give them a lot of credit. I thought we still played well territorially, but we didn't play with the focus we needed to defensively … We weren't nearly as thorough as we were through the first two periods."
For the Friars, sophomore goalie Bobby Goepfert didn't make it out of the second period, but backup David Cacciola made 23 saves in a stellar relief effort.
"We just made it too easy for them," said Pooley. "They're a good hockey team. Once their (defensemen) activate and their forwards start picking and cutting back, they're difficult to handle.
"When it was 5-1, I called timeout and said, 'Hey, we're not national champions. We've just got to get better and keep getting better and getting better.' And you know what? We came back."
John Laliberte put BU on the board at the three-minute mark of the first period, but Wood evened things at 6:11 with his second of the season and first on the power play. The Terriers took a first-intermission lead on Spang's first at 12:25.
The gates opened for the two teams to hop back on the ice to begin the second stanza at the same time the floodgates opened to the Friar goal. Mark Mullen and then Spang again scored goals 53 seconds apart — both high hard ones from the left circle — to send Goepfert to the showers 1:55 into the period.

For the past one year My eCPM for adsense is moving southward and would like to know if thats the case for others as well.
Adsense CTR going down
Is it CTR or CPM? If its CTR then you should work on your placement and if its CPM then its Google not having good advertisers in your niche.
Its CTR but then I used to get the CTR doubled of what I am getting previously and I have not changed anything.
you did not change na that's the main problem you have to change everything regularly(i mean u have to post) then only you get traffic and your ctr goes down or maintain its standard
You got me wrong. My CTR has gone down but My content and traffic is on rise ad I have doubled my traffic but halfed my CTR
yes this is a regular story these days with most publishers. One main reason is advertisers are reducing their budgets. I would advise experimenting by blocking particular domains from adsense and see which domains pay the most

The ugly phrase "reboot treatment" has again reared its ugly face. Twentieth Century Fox has turned it on the Predator franchise with the intent of remaking (rebooting) the original movie that made Arnold Schwarzenegger a larger-than-life action star beyond Terminator. It was a superb thriller relating the story of a group of commandos sent on a trumped-up rescue mission who find out that they are being hunted by an unseen alien killer. The cast included Jesse Ventura, Carl Weathers and Bill Duke, among others. It was directed by John McTiernan ("Die Hard", "Die Hard 2").
Now Fox wants a new treatment by screen-writing prodigy Shane Black and they also want him to direct it. Black wrote the screenplays for "Lethal Weapon" and "Monster Squad". There's no reason to believe Black incapable of doing a good job on this project. The problem is it doesn't need to be done, especially without Arnold.
The original film in 1986 is perfect the way McTiernan filmed it. The story has stood the test of time, the creature is one of the most inventive ever and the acting was nearly flawless. There's no need to try to improve on perfection, especially since the other movies in the franchise did not generate much interest.
"Predator 2" starred Danny Glover and Bill Paxton. It was good but not great. The prequel, "Predators", was also good but not great. The two "Alien vs. Predator" films were neither good not great, a far cry from what everyone hoped they would be. If anything, "Predator 2" is the one that should be rebooted to take the series away from Arnold and his mates. Even younger fans still appreciate the original film as is. The executives at Fox are slow on the uptake if they don't realize that fact.

Green Tea enriched with the fragrance of jasmine has been an all-time favorite for nearly 800 years. Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a dragon coming out of the water.
The tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand. Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August/September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom.
The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed. Order this truly remarkable China Dragon Phoenix Pearl Green tea today!

It is well-known that there are continuous curves $f:I \to \mathbb R^2$ (where $I \subset \mathbb R$ is an interval) whose image have positive measure (e.g Peano curve). I have read somewhere that if we require the curve to be differentiable evrywhere then this cannot happen; but if we require it to be almost everywhere differentiable, then it can happen! How could one proceed to prove the first statement and give a counterexample for the second?

Let $\phi : [0, 1] \to [0, 1]$ be the Cantor-Lebesgue function, and $\alpha : [0, 1] \to \Bbb{R}^n$ be a space-filling curve.
Since $\phi$ is stationary outside the Cantor set, it is locally constant almost everywhere. That is, $\beta := \alpha \circ \phi$ is also locally constant everywhere, allowing it to be differentiable a.e.. (In fact, $\beta' = 0$ a.e.!) On the other hand, $\phi$ is continuous and surjective. Thus $\beta$ is also a continuous path and the image of $\beta$ coincides with $\alpha$. That is, $\beta$ is also a space-filling curve. Therefore this serves as a counter-example.
Let $f : [0, 1] \to \Bbb{R}^n$ be a differentiable curve in $\Bbb{R}^n$ ($n \geq 2$). Let $\Gamma = f([0, 1])$ be the image of $f$ in $\Bbb{R}^n$.
Assuming that $|f'|$ is Lebesgue integrable, we can prove the first statement.
This theorem immediately implies the following corollary:
Proof. Since $f'$ is Lebesgue integrable, it is absolutely continuous. Thus there exists $\delta > 0$ such that whenever a measurable subset $E \subset [0, 1]$ satisfies $|E| < \delta$, we have $\int_E |f'| < \epsilon$. Now let $\Pi = \{x_k\}$ be a partition of $[0, 1]$ into subintervals with length less than $\delta$. Then for each $x_{k-1} \leq x < y \leq x_k$, $$ |f(y) - f(x)| = \left| \int_{x}^{y} f' \right| \leq \int_{x}^{y} |f'| \leq \int_{x_{k-1}}^{x_k} |f'| < \epsilon. $$ Thus $$ \epsilon_k \leq \int_{x_{k-1}}^{x_k} |f'| < \epsilon $$ and the conclusion follows. ////
Now let $\epsilon > 0$ and $\Pi$ be a corresponding partition of $[0, 1]$ by Corollary. Then we can cover $\Gamma$ by balls $B_{2\epsilon_k}(f(x_k))$ for $k = 1, \cdots, N$. Thus
$$ |\Gamma| \leq \sum_{k=1}^{N} \left|B_{2\epsilon_k}(f(x_k))\right| \leq \sum_{k=1}^{N} C_n \epsilon_k^n \leq C_n \epsilon^{n-1} \sum_{k=1}^{N} \epsilon_k \leq C_n \epsilon^{n-1} \| f' \|_1, $$
where $C_n$ is a constant depending only on the dimension $n$. (In fact, we can choose $C_n = |B_2|$.) Thus taking $\epsilon \to 0$, we have the desired result.
The other direction is called (mini)-Sard's Theorem. Page 205 in Appendix 1 of Guilleman and Pollack, Differential Topology. The mini version is just this: Let $U$ be an open set of $\mathbb R^n,$ and let $f:U \rightarrow \mathbb R^m$ be a smooth map. Then, if $m > n,$ we can conclude that $f(U)$ has measure zero in $\mathbb R^m.$
The full Sard's Theorem is about critical points, while we make no demands about the relative dimensions. Let $f:X \rightarrow Y$ be a smooth map of manifolds, and let $C$ be the set of critical points of $f$ in $X.$ Then $f(C)$ has measure zero in $Y.$
They say their proof is almost verbatim from John W. Milnor, Topology from the Differentiable Viewpoint. It appears Guillemin and Pollack, also Milnor, assume $C^\infty.$ However, Milnor refers back to Pontryagin(1955), English translation (1959). Evidently Pontryagin worked with weaker conditions, but we are not told what. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sard%27s_theorem
Alright, I've been looking stuff up elsewhere. The full Sard's theorem does depend on relative dimension. I currently think that mini-Sard make be true both for $C^1$ and for differentiable everywhere, which is a pretty weak hypothesis.

Haley Burt loves playing the claw machine. So, it was no surprise that's where she spent most of the night of her first Bald in the Boro.Coin, aim, drop.Coin, aim, drop.The teddy bear she was aiming for kept slipping from her grasp as she played March 11, 2011, at Lanes, Trains and Automobiles in Murfreesboro.Finally, the teddy bear held fast and was dropped into her waiting hands.As a third grader, she didn't know that simple stuffed animal would alter the course of her young life, giving her a mission, a goal to strive for.In the meantime, Haley showed her mother, Jackie, the bear. Then she heard Hunter Jones was there. As one of the honorees that evening, Hunter was the reason they were all there that night. "I want to meet him," she said to her mom, deciding to give the bear to the leukemia survivor.In March 2011, Hunter was still recovering from receiving a bone marrow transplant from his younger sister, Ronin. His immune system was too fragile to enter the bowling alley where the annual St. Baldrick's Bald in the Boro event was taking place.After meeting Hunter and giving him her hard won teddy bear, Haley made a split-second decision."I'm doing it tonight," Haley said to her mom. "I met him, and I'm doing it tonight."The Scales Elementary student then took her place and went Bald in the Boro, shaving her head in the name of childhood cancer.At Bald in the Boro, teams and individuals vow to shave their heads in order to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.
Over the last two years, Bald in the Boro volunteers have raised more than $104,000 to support St. Baldrick's in childhood cancer research.Jackie supported her daughter's decision to shave her head, but she warned her daughter about how people and her peers could react to a 9-year-old bald girl. "I warned her that kids would make fun of her," Jackie said. Surprisingly, few people commented on Haley's new look. And when they did, she took the opportunity to explain the impact of childhood cancer.Like how in the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under age 15 were diagnosed with cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.And how cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children 1 to 14 years old.And how children are most often just given smaller doses of adult medications and treatments, even though childhood cancers aren't the same as their adult cousins.And how 35 percent of children with cancer die either from the disease or the treatment."That's why Haley wants to shave her head, to bring awareness to childhood cancer," Jackie said.This year, Haley is shaving her head again on Friday, March 15, at Lanes, Trains and Automobiles. She took off last year because she was "just now looking like a girl again," her mom said, adding Haley still raised money for St. Baldrick's and went to Bald in the Boro to encourage all the women who shaved their heads.But this year Haley – and Jackie – will both lose their locks for a great cause."She wants to shave for Clinton (Milliken) this year ... and Alex (Scogins)," Jackie said.Clinton lost his battle with brain cancer last January. Alex, a neighbor of the Burt's, was recently diagnosed with a similar cancer to Clinton's."She has known cancer survivors, but she hasn't really known any who are fighting it. Now, we know somebody ..." Jackie said. "This brings it closer to home for her."Inspired by Alex's struggle, Haley and her brother Wyatt, 9, have started a card drive called "Get Well Wishes for Alex." In a few short weeks, they have collected more than 100 cards."Haley is all about volunteering," her proud mother said, explaining her daughter's involvement with metering homeless kids after school and working with the Cupcake Crew, which inspires children to make a positive impact on their community by honoring local unsung heroes and other nonprofits in fun and unique ways.Haley loves to give back, her mom said, adding Haley will turn 11 years old a few days after Bald in the Boro, so Jackie is turning it into a birthday party for her. "This is going to be a thing for her – to draw attention to childhood cancer," Jackie said.To help Haley, donate to her team Baldies, Baldies Everywhere at stbaldricks.org/teams/BaldiesBaldieEverywhere or call 888-899-2253.

Wicked Strong proved he was wickedly good as he over took unbeaten Social Inclusion to win the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct yesterday. After running in 6th place, jockey Rajiv Maragh pulled him to the middle of the track, quickly picking up ground so that by the time they hit the 1/8th pole they were in third, and by the 1/6th pole he drew away to win by 3-1/2 lengths.
"He ran a phenomenal race. We were hoping here would be speed to run at, and we got it," exclaimed owner Donald Little Jr., of Ispwich, MA, who had originally wanted to call his colt "Boston Strong," but the name was already taken. In any case, Little announced that he will donate 1% of the $600,000 purse to the families of victims of last year's Boston Marathon.
Wicked Strong, who went off at 9-1 paid $20.40, finishing the 9-furlong race in 1:49.31. It was just his 2ne win in 2 starts.
He really responded when I asked him and he did everything perfectly," stated Maragh. The horse is trained by Jimmy Jerkens.
In the meantime 8-5 favorite Social Inclusion failed to fire after being challenged in a head to head duel for the first time.
"I had so much horse before the quarter pole, but when I tried to open up he just kind of ran flat," stated his jockey Luis Contreras, who had to settle for show after Samraat beat him by a nose for place.
With the Kentucky Derby less than a month away, however, it still looks like it could be anyone's game, including California Chrome, who's 5-1/4 win in the Santa Anita Derby makes him a strong favorite for the Run For the Roses.

There are times when one might ask himself how much President Obama truly knows with respect to American history. In 2011, Obama scheduled his State of the Union speech for January 25th. That date (01/25) is the anniversary of a failed attack in 1787 on the federal Springfield Armory, carried out by a group of armed farmers hailing from a number of towns in western Massachusetts – among them Pittsfield and Great Barrington. The attack was a result of governmental confiscation policies.
Prior to the attack, the Sheffield Declaration, also known as the Sheffield Resolves, was published on January 12, 1773. Intended as a petition opposing British tyranny, and a manifesto stating individual rights, Sheffield foreshadowed Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, which throughout the document calls for the rights of the colonists to safeguard what was theirs. Within the text of his address, Obama's comments about the role of government paralleled much of what is found in both the Sheffield Declaration and the social redresses reflected in Shay's Rebellion.
What exactly was the motivation for followers of such individuals as Daniel Shay, who were willing to face bullets, hanging or exile? Simply stated, they sought control of their own property, in addition to controlling a failed monetary system.
The majority of those who inhabited New England during colonial days came from British, Puritan and Scotch-Irish bloodlines. Separated from Mother England and her king by the Atlantic Ocean, colonists were denied seats in Parliament, most of which were claimed by either the Crown or rich royalists. Looked down upon by Parliament as the country's lowest-class subjects, the colonists sensed they were under strong domination by England.
An army was approved by the Continental Congress, to be composed of 232,000 troops. Massachusetts sent 68,000 of her sons, and Virginia with 27,000. Most of these volunteers were farmers by trade. Congress promised each enlisted soldier $6 per month in pay and land at war's end. Officers would receive half their pensions as lifetime pay. Unfortunately, the government's paper money proved invaluable and it would be a number of years before pensions were actually received.
John Locke, an English philosopher, was a radical advocate of the fact man was, by nature, free of kingship. Locke emphasized the purpose of both rebellion and government to be the protection of an individual's "property". Numbered among his students were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and those patriots who penned the Sheffield Declaration.
If one thinks of the idea of liberty and freedom regarding the American Revolution in the form of a car, then property rights can easily be the key which starts it. The colonists despised the British due to the way imposed taxes attacked their property rights, and the fact they were denied representation in Parliament. Though the colonists could stew over the situation and boycott in retaliation; there was little else available to them in the form of protest.
As far as voting was concerned, to participate, an individual had to be an adult male whose property value was in excess of £20. Those males who lived on their fathers' lands or worked for someone else as hired help were disqualified; as were women and men who were black or Jewish. The Sheffield Declaration sought to help right this wrong. Control of one's property became the basic tenets of both the Sheffield Declaration and later the Declaration of Independence.
In the beginning, the text of the Constitution of the United States sought to reject a call for states' rights to outweigh the strength of the federal government. That changed, however, as news of Shay's Rebellion reached the committee responsible for revising the Articles of Confederation into what would become the Constitution.
When today's political climate is compared to both Shay's Rebellion and the Sheffield Declaration, much of what is sought by today's Tea Party and conservative Republicans, along with a multitude of others, greatly parallels both these events. The protection of private property through the reining in of taxation and controlling the power of the federal government is predominant in all situations.
