If you liked "Love, Actually," you'll love this too, another small jewel in the crown of unabashedly commercial, cheerfully middlebrow, eminently exportable British fluff.
Bloated with too many pratfalls yet too little plot, and neutered of its most viciously hysterical moments.
In case you were holding your breath, Renée Zellweger's Bridget Jones is still sweetly earnest, chronically overweight and swinging once again from lovestruck to lovelorn.
Man, does this one make the first movie look like a masterpiece. What was Renée Zellweger thinking? It can't have been fun to put on all that weight, especially for a film as ghastly as this.

This sequel lacks the charm that its predecessor had, but Renee Zellweger as always charming and shines as the character, and this film still has a little bit of charm but under the charmingly uncharming direction by Beeban Kidron (Amy Foster and Used People). Based on Helen Fielding's second novel in the series, the three original writers including Ms. Fielding, Richard Curtis, Andrew Davies return to write the screenplay also they got another writer on board Adam Brooks. The story takes places four weeks after the first film Bridget Jones (played once again by the adorable Renèe Zellweger) is still working as a host and is dating Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Bridget is jealous of the time that Mark spends with his co-worker Rebecca (Jacinda Barrett), Bridget thinks Mark is cheating on her, which causes their relationship to go down hill. Despite a vacation meant to smooth things over, ends their relationship. On an assignment in Thailand, she has a dalliance with her ex Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and is temporarily jailed for falsely accused for drug smuggling before Mark rescues her. Look I don't care for the predictability, I loved this movie is it perfect? No it's not perfect but it's a funny charming funny rom-com it's still cheerful and that's what I love about the Bridget Jones series, is it funny? Yes.

Unlike the Reese Witherspoon and Ice Cube second go-rounds, you can't totally make the criticism that Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is an UNNECESSARY sequel; Helen Fielding, the author of the book on which the original was baseddid indeed write a followup, but the adapters seemed about as interested in following Fielding's plotline as they were in following that of James Joyce's Ulysses. Even so, the original ended perfectly and organically with insecure-in-love-work-and-everything-else Bridget dumping Mr. Wrong, embracing Mr. Right and finding True Love At Last. As played so endearingly by Renee Zellweger in the original, Bridget (a British lass whose rough American equivalent is the comic strip character Cathy) was both hilariouly awkward AND tremendously empathy-inducing; you laughed at her multiple faux pas but also felt hugely protective of her and had a real rooting interest in her well-being. Well, good-bye to all that: it's not Renee's fault; she's still an excellent actress and terrific farceur who's doing what the script tells her to--but Bridget in the sequel has gone from appealingly vulnerable to so ridiculously insecure and needy, endlessly embarrassing and humiliating boyfriend Mark (Colin Firth) that I found myself constantly wondering something that was the furthest thing from my mind while watching the original: namely, "Why in God's name doesn't he toss this shrill Looney Tune out on her ear and change all the locks?"… Expand

Unfortunatley they have destroyed all the attractiveness that Hugh Grant's character used to have, they made him little less than evil...and he was the best character of the first movie!

'60 Minutes' Apologizes for Inaccurate Report on Benghazi
Published: Friday, November 8, 2013 at 11:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 8, 2013 at 11:35 a.m.
NEW YORK | Following a rash of criticism, Lara Logan has apologized for an inaccurate "60 Minutes" report on the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. special mission in Libya.
"We were wrong," she told co-hosts Norah O'Donnell and Jeff Glor in a Friday appearance on "CBS This Morning."
The correspondent explained how she and producers had been misled by a key source, Dylan Davies, known by the pseudonym Morgan Jones.
In the controversial story, which aired Oct. 27, Davies, the manager of the local guard force at the mission in Benghazi, claimed he saw the body of Ambassador Chris Stevens in a local hospital and that he'd had an encounter with one of the attackers.
But after the broadcast, Davies' credibility came under question when the Washington Post uncovered a prior incident report in which he told a different version of events.
"60 Minutes" initially stood by its report, but on Thursday acknowledged the possibility that Logan had been led astray.
"We take the vetting of sources and stories very seriously at '60 Minutes,' and we took it seriously in this case. But we were misled and we were wrong, and that's the important thing," Logan said, explaining the process they'd used to corroborate Davies' tale. "We have to set the record straight and take responsibility."

This is an evaluation of the therapeutic effect of sex reassignment surgery on 36 female-to-male transsexuals and 105 male-to-female transsexuals in the Netherlands. Data were collected by means of structured interviews. The evaluation was made on the basis of subjective data only, that is on what the persons themselves reported on their gender identity, gender role, and physical condition. Allowing for the restrictive methodology of the (ex post facto) study, it is concluded that there is no reason to doubt the therapeutic effect of sex reassignment surgery. No specific differences were found between those who were still in medical treatment and those who had completed treatment. The findings obtained in the female-to-male transsexuals compare favorably with those obtained in male-to-female transsexuals. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that more attention ought to be paid to psychosocial guidance in addition to medical guidance.

Nomer is a shortened version of the derogatory slang term no namer, often used by persons of reputation within a community to describe those who are lesser known. It can also be used to describe a newbie. It was first used in close-knit, online gaming communities by players who had achieved a revered status, due to their skill or achievements, to describe fellow gamers who were comparitively unknown or lacking in skill.
"Who does this nomer think he is?" or "We're totally gonna own these nomers."

So I've had now 2 yeast infections in one cycle....or maybe not two but the last one didn't go away completely...not sure. Luckily it was right after my period and now I'm 8DPO so it wasn't when I was ovulating. I did a 3 day generic monistat and it seemed to help. I'm on my second round of letrozole (generic of femara) after having 5 failed rounds of clomid. I have MUCH better cervical mucous on the letrozole which I'm happy about but it almost seems like its irritating me too much.
Has anyone else had the same thing? I wonder if its from the hormones? All I know is this crap is ITCHY!!

Prosecutors dismiss murder charge against GregaAugust 21,2013Staff Report
BRATTLEBORO - An aggravated murder charge against John Grega, a Long Island, N.Y., man charged with killing his wife in 1995, has been dismissed, because of difficulties with additional DNA testing.
The dismissal of the second murder charge against Grega comes a year after his 1996 conviction was dismissed, and a new trial ordered, because of new DNA evidence.
Windham County State's Attorney Tracy Shriver announced late Wednesday that murder charges against Grega would be dismissed without prejudice because of difficulties finding a lab to do necessary DNA matching of evidence taken from Christine Grega's body.
Shriver, in a joint statement with Vermont Assistant Attorney General Cindy Maguire, said they "remain committed to continuing this investigation to seek justice for Christine Grega and her family."
In 2012, new DNA testing had revealed the presence of an unknown man's DNA in her body, the discovery of which resulted in a judge ordering a new trial.
Grega's case was one of the first to be renewed under Vermont's Innocence Project, which allowed for DNA testing in old cases. During Grega's original 1996 trial, DNA testing was not used routinely in criminal cases in Vermont.MORE IN This Just In

text: Scenarios Below are the criteria and methodology I use to evaluate the S&P 500 and upon which I conclude that fair market value is approximately 1415, or about 4% above Tuesday's closing quote of 1363. Scenario No. 1 -- Economic Reacceleration Above Consensus (probability stays at 5%): The pace of U.S. economic recovery reaccelerates to above-consensus forecasts (3%+ real GDP growth) based on pro-growth fiscal policies geared toward generating job growth; corporate profit margins being preserved (with low inflation and contained wage growth); interest rates remaining low; and durable spending (housing and autos) recovering sharply as pent-up demand is unleashed. The $550 billion fiscal cliff is whittled down to only about $150 billion (subtracting less than 0.5% from 2013 real GDP) as Governor Romney wins the Presidency and the Republican Party gains control of the Senate and regains the House. Europe stabilizes (and experiences a shallow recession), and China has a soft landing (with GDP growth tracking in excess of 8%). There is no QE3. S&P 500 profit estimates for 2013 are raised to $110-$113 per share. Stocks, valued at 15.5x under this outcome, have 27% upside over the next eight months. S&P target is 1725. Scenario No. 2 -- Recession (probability stays at 5%): The U.S. enters a recession precipitated by a loss of business and consumer confidence, producing a fall in manufacturing output and personal consumption expenditures. The Democratic Party regains the White House and the Senate, but the Republicans maintain control of the House of Representative. The schism between the two parties persists. Partisanship leads to rancor during summer debt-ceiling deliberations (instituted because of slowing nominal GDP) similar to that of August 2011. Confidence deteriorates further, and the housing market seizes up as bank lending becomes more restrictive when the fiscal cliff is not remedied/addressed (the hit to GDP is -1.5% to -2.0%). QE3 is instituted but fails to contain the economic weakness. A series of European bank failures and EU sovereign debt defaults contribute to a deepening European recession and a hard landing in China and India. S&P 500 earnings estimates for 2013 are materially reduced to $75 to $80 per share. Stocks, valued at 11.5x under this outcome, have 34% downside risk over the next eight months. S&P target is 890.

From the network that brought your cable-news-addicted grandparents supernatural theories on the disappearance of MH370 comes today's emptiest angle on the controversial release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan. It's kind of like that one TV show, isn't it? Both guys (terrorists?!) did a lot of squinting.
After a few days as a conspiracy theory and common Twitter revelation, Don Lemon welcomed the comparison on CNN this morning. "Do you see similarities between Bowe Bergdahl's release and your character Sgt. Nicholas Brody in Homeland?" he asked the show's executive producer, Gideon Raff.
And just like that, the discourse level on Facebook wall posts and CNN segments equalized.

Also set to star Emily Blunt and Charlotte Riley, All You Need Is Kill is based on the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka which is described as follows:
There's one thing worse than dying. It's coming back to do it again and again… When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the B*tch of War. Is the B*tch the key to Keiji's escape, or to his final death?
Paxton recently appeared on the big screen in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire and on television in the miniseries "Hatfields & McCoys".

Yachting Land Adventure
Mumbai Panorama
This SeaDream Land Adventure provides our guests in transit with a good panoramic overview of this iconic city. You will depart from the pier towards Marine Drive, Mumbai's seaside promenade, to see its shops, restaurants, bars and throngs of people. At the northern end of Marine Drive, you will find popular Chowpatty Beach. Your next stop is at ISKCON; the amazing temple of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The god Krishna often portrayed in blue and playing a flute has a mischievous nature and his peasant background and legendry exploits with the milkmaids have made him of the most popular gods. Krishna devotees believe the material body is subjected to birth, old age, disease and death, whereas the spirit soul is by nature eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. We witness the prayer chanting offered for the welfare of humanity in this stunning temple. We then continue towards the western shores to Malabar Hill, Mumbai's most exclusive neighborhood. Popular since the 18th century due to its forested slopes, fresh sea breezes and panoramic views, Malabar's hillsides are filled with picturesque mansions and bungalows built by merchants and Colonial governors. Today, luxury high-rise apartments also dot the landscape. From here, you will proceed past Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus earlier known as Victoria Terminus, a remarkable railway station highlighted by domes, spires, Corinthian columns and minarets. India's first train departed this station in April 1853; today, half a million commuters use the station each day Our drive then continues to the Gateway of India for a photo stop. This Indo-Saracenic archway was built in 1911 to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary, and is the city's most famous landmark Our tour concludes with a visit to the world-renowned Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, a favorite of diplomats, sheiks and Mumbai's jet set. It was recently rated among the ten best hotels in the world. Upon arrival, we can relax with a cold drink before re-boarding our coach for the return drive to the pier and your SeaDream yacht.
Notes: Note: Proper attire is required to visit the sacred sites. Shorts and short skirts are not allowed. Women must have their shoulders covered. Shoes must be removed prior to entering the temples. We suggest bringing along a pair of thick socks, as the pavement may be hot. A minimum participation is required to operate all Yachting Land Adventures and some have limited capacity. All adventures and prices in the SeaDream Yachting Land Adventures program are subject to change.

AbstractIn response to the need for motors, actuators and drilling systems that can operate in the harsh venusian environment for extended periods of time, on the order of several hours to days, Honeybee Robotics proposes continued development of an extreme temperature motor and an extreme temperature drill system and demonstration of both in simulated Venus surface conditions. A first-generation prototype motor was designed, built and tested in Venus-like conditions (460oC temperature, mostly CO2 gas environment) during Phase I. The Phase I tests demonstrated the feasibility of the design through verification that the motor can operate at 460oC for an extended period of time. A further developed and optimized version of this motor could be used to actuate drills, robotic arms, and other devices outside of an environment-controlled landed platform on the surface of Venus. The motor's capability to survive for hours (and potentially longer) in that environment is a major benefit to future Venus science missions since it would allow time for communication ground loops to optimize drill target selection and allow for multiple samples to be acquired from the subsurface. An extreme temperature motor would therefore revolutionize the exploration of Venus. In Phase II, both an extreme environment motor and an extreme environment drill system will be developed to TRL 6. Aside from Venus exploration, other potential NASA and non-NASA applications for an extreme temperature motor include actuation of fluid pumps, gimbals, robotic joints and manipulation systems, as well as turbine, expendable launch vehicle and furnace tending system components.

I am having a problem with URLs after the transfer of files and database from one domain to another.
This was my sandbox: http://mmnkltd.com/cdavis/about/
This is the final live site URL for what should be the same page: http://www.cdpainter.com/about/
I am thinking that the about page ought to display in the second URL. The path structure is the same.
I have tried changing from permalinks to default back to permalinks (as suggested in one post). That didn't work.
The host is GoDaddy. Not sure if that makes a difference (have read some of the recent they have been having.)
Thoughts about this problem?
Thank you.

So I'm using WordPress 2.9.2 and I ran into a few problems last week I believe it was. I am unable to: add tags to a post, change the date and time published, change the post visibility, change the post status, modify or add widgets, use the drop down arrows in the dashboard navigation, or move items around on the dashboard home screen.
So far I have: tried different browsers, used different computers, cleared my cache, disabled all plugins, reinstalled wordpress, and searched for a very long time in google and the forums, so far nothing has worked. I have found a few work arounds, like publishing it then doing a quick edit, and I could only change the widgets page to accessibility mode to make that work but really its getting a bit inconvenient.
Attached is a picture of what happens to the url when you click on any of the objects when adding or modifying a post.
Thanks for your help.

|Highway system
State Route 2 is a 197-mile-long (317 km) west–to–east state highway in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It begins in Murfreesboro, in Rutherford County, and ends near Farragut in Loudon County.
It travels southeast from Rutherford County toward Chattanooga and then northeast from there to Loudon County. As nearly the entire route travels concurrent with U.S. Highways, the designation "Tennessee Route 2" is very seldom used by the general public; the only exception would be where a small portion of it parallel to Interstate 24 (I-24) near Kimball has been removed from the U.S. Highway system and is no longer part of U.S. Route 41 (US-41); but the highway still exists and is in use.
Route Description[edit]
SR-2 starts in Murfreesboro when U.S. 41 leaves a concurrency with U.S. 70S/SR-1. U.S. 41 goes southeast as Southeast Broad St, now concurrent with SR-2. SR-2/U.S. 41 leaves Murfreesboro and changes names to Manchester Pike and closely parallels Interstate 24 before entering Coffee County. After entering Coffee County, the concurrency passes through the community of Beechgrove and becomes Murfreesboro Highway as it continues southeast. It intersects I-24 and continues into Manchester and becomes Hillsboro Blvd in downtown before intersecting I-24once again and leaving town as Hillsboro Highway.
It still continues southeast, paralleling I-24 as it enters Grundy County. It rises onto the Cumberland Plateau and enters Monteagle as Dixie Highway. SR-2/U.S. 41 becomes concurrent with U.S. 64, U.S. 41A, and SR-56 as they enter town from the southwest as West Main St. SR-15 also enters town in this concurrency but terminates at the SR-2/U.S. 41 intersection. The concurrency continues east through downtown as West Main St before becoming simply Main St east of downtown. U.S. 41 and SR-56 leave the concurrency and turn north as Fairmont Avenue before going northeast to Tracy City. U.S. 41A leaves one block later an goes northeast Dubose St before terminating at U.S. 41 a short time later.
U.S. 64/SR-2 turns south as Dixie Lee Highway and enters Marion County before the highways become concurrent with I-24 as the interstate starts to descend into a valley. Once in the valley, SR-2 leaves the concurrency at Martin Springs via Martin Springs Road and Ladds Cove Road. It becomes Battle Creek Road and continues southeast, closely paralleling I-24/U.S. 64 as it does so. It then crosses over the interstate without an interchange and turns south and then southeast once again as it follows I-24 into Kimball.
Once in Kimball, SR-2 becomes concurrent with U.S. 64/U.S. 72 and moves northeast through downtown Kimball as Main St and then continues northeast to Jasper as Lee Highway. Entering Jasper, the concurrency intersects U.S. 41/SR-150. Here, U.S. 41 joins the concurrency while SR-150 terminates at the intersection.
The concurrency moves southeast once again as Lee Highway before crossing Nickajack Lake and turning north, northeast, then south as the highway parallels the Tennessee River and works around Lookout Mountain. The highway continues to change directions as it becomes Cummings Highway and enters Tiftonia in Hamilton County. It once again intersects I-24 and then intersects U.S. 11/SR-38. SR-38 terminates while U.S. 11 joins the concurrency and continues eastward to Chattanooga. In Chattanooga, SR-17 enters the concurrency as it becomes Broad St and travels northeast into downtown.
In downtown, the concurrency once again intersects I-24 and continues northeast, intersecting SR-58 two blocks later. U.S. 64 and U.S. 11 leave the concurrency here while U.S 41 and SR-17 leave the concurrency after five more blocks. U.S. 72 terminates at this intersection while U.S. 76 begins and follows U.S. 41/SR-17 southeast. SR-2, still Broad St, continues north for several more blocks and then turns southeast as East Martin Luther King Blvd. SR-2 then becomes Bailey Avenue and once again becomes concurrent with SR-17 and then U.S. 64/U.S. 11 as SR-17 leaves and proceeds south with U.S. 64/U.S. 11.
U.S. 64, U.S. 11, and SR-2 go southeast as McCallie Avenue and through the Missionary Ridge Tunnel. Coming out of the tunnel, the concurrency becomes Brainard Road and continues southeast for several blocks. It turns northeast and intersects SR-153, then it becomes Lee Highway and continues northeast as it leaves Chattanooga.
The concurrency briefly overlaps SR-317 before the highways leave SR-317 and become concurrent to I-75/U.S. 74. The concurrency goes northeast for several miles before U.S. 64, U.S. 11, and SR-2 leave and once again become Lee Highway as they pass just north of Ooltewah. The concurrency enters Bradley County and soon intersects U.S. 74 (Appalacian Highway) where U.S. 64 Bypass begins and follows U.S. 74 around Cleveland.
U.S. 64, U.S. 11, and SR-2 continue northeast into downtown Cleveland as Lee Highway until U.S. 64 splits from the concurrency with SR-40 as SR-40 starts at this intersection. U.S. 11/SR-2 turns north as Keith St SW and then Keith St NW as the concurrency turns northeast and out of Cleveland. The highway once again becomes Lee Highway, then becomes Hiwassee St in Charleston and crosses the Hiwassee River and into Calhoun in McMinn County.
The concurrency remains as Lee Highway through Calhoun and it continues to the northeast. U.S. 11 Business splits away in Riceville with SR-39 and goes northeast through downtown Athens as U.S. 11/SR-2 continues northeast, briefly running a concurrency with SR-39 in Riceville, and around the northwest side of downtown Athens as Congress Pkwy. Just north of Athens, U.S. 11 Business/SR-305 intersect U.S. 11/SR-2 where U.S. 11 Business terminates. SR-305 continues through the intersection and northeast to I-75. U.S. 11/SR-2 continues northeast as Congress Pkwy and into Niota where it becomes Willson St.
U.S. 11/SR-2 continues northeast and crosses into Monroe County. It then enters Sweetwater and intersects SR-68 at which point U.S. 11/SR-2 becomes South Main St. In downtown Sweetwater, it changes to North Main St and briefly turns north before turning northeast once again and leaving town as Lee Highway. It enters Loudon County and moves through the small community of Philadelphia before continuing northeast as Lee Highway and into Loudon. It goes straight through town as Mulberry St and crosses the Tennessee River. After crossing the river, U.S. 11/SR-2 once again becomes Lee Highway and continues generally northeast into Lenoir City.
In Lenoir City, the concurrency becomes West Broadway St and then East Broadway St before intersecting the U.S. 321, SR-73, and SR-95 concurrency in downtown. U.S. 11/SR-2 then leaves Lenoir City and goes north. It turns northeast, but then goes north again until SR-2 terminates at U.S. 70/SR-1 in Cusick. U.S. 11 then continues with U.S. 70/SR-1 into Knox County and into Knoxville.[2]

Mentoring Students Can Be Great Opportunity For Hotels
Thursday November 11th, 2010 - 12:09AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Every year at about this time college students well into their senior years are facing the reality that their lives are about to drastically change before too long. It's a scary time for these young adults. For every student with post graduation plans firmly in place, there are just as many struggling to figure out what's next. The ones lucky enough to have crossed paths with that special professor, advisor or mentor are more likely better prepared to face "what's next" than students unable to forge such relationships.
Lifelong advice and guidance provided to protégés by mentors many times goes a long way in determining the kind of executive the student will become. Although I never had a mentor, per se, over the years I have been given a lot of business advice. In particular, three pieces of advice remain with me to this day.
One bit of advice came from Frank Norberto, a Swimming Pool Builder on Long Island, NY, for whom I worked for a few summers as a teenager. He told me, "Be sure that the employees always know that you [the boss] are as capable as anybody to get in the trenches and can do the job as well as or better than they can."
The next piece of advice was from Murry Greenwald, president of Executive Business Media, the first trade publisher I ever worked for and the one who gave me my first job in sales. "Once you start agreeing with the reasons that you're being turned down, it's time to find a new line of work," he said.
Finally, Joseph Kranz, my father-in-law—who professes to be retired because he now works only five days a week—offered me this pearl of wisdom. He said, "In business as in life, you reap what you sow." Simply stated, "what you do comes back to you."
On February 11, 2011, the lodging industry will participate in the National Groundhog Shadow Day, a national campaign that gives young people a new perspective on their studies through hands-on learning and a one-day mentoring experience.
Students are paired with a mentor who they will "shadow" throughout the day to experience how the skills they learn in the classroom can be applied to the real world. This event also provides an opportunity to introduce future employees to the vast array of careers available in the lodging industry.
Here are some ideas for getting your hotel involved:
Have students shadow a general manager or executive staff member. Students get a chance to learn a great deal about hospitality by following and assisting an experienced hotel professional with their daily activities and duties. A shadow representative can teach them about the skills that are needed to succeed in the lodging business. The students may assist with reservations, customer service, meeting and conventions, daily staff agenda, etc.
Have students shadow an AH&LA partner state association executive. By letting them "shadow" directly in a lodging association environment, students will get a prime understanding of how individual lodging state associations handle their legislative, regulatory and operating practices. The state executive can have the students attend state and in-office meetings, assist with daily duties, etc.
Have students become a hotel employee for the day. Students work directly with customers and other hotel staff to become familiar with daily situations that will prepare them for future hotel job opportunities. It also teaches them the difference between non-managerial and managerial staff, and what it takes to climb the ladder of success in the lodging industry. Have the students work as non-managerial employees, such as front office clerks, bell captains, lobby porters, etc.
Teach students behind-the-scene lodging opportunities. Allowing students to get a closer look at what happens beyond the hotel lobby will prepare a new generation of powerful hotel executives. Let students watch, and assist if possible, with paying bills, vendor purchasing, creating schedules and other hidden logistics that go into running a hotel.
In the spirit of "what you do comes back to you," what better way to give back than to be part of this worthwhile event. For more information, contact Kathryn Potter at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Grow Lights
(Showing 9 categories)
Grow Lights
Metal Halide Grow Lights
MH Grow Lights emit strong, cool white light that results in compact, leafy vegetation. We offer these MH HID bulbs in 250-watt, 400-watt, 600-watt, and 1000-watt options in brands such as Plantmax, SunPulse, Hortilux, Ultrasun and Xtrasun.
High Pressure Sodium Grow Bulbs
HID grow bulbs produce high output ideal for stimulating plant growth. High Pressure Sodium Grow Bulbs emit strong, warm white light that promotes flowering. We offer these HPS HID bulbs in wattages ranging from 150 to 1500 watts in brands such as Hortilux, SunPulse, Plantmax, Ultra Sun, DigiMax, GE, PLT, Ushio and Xtrasun.
Dual Arc Grow Bulbs
Containing both metal halide and high pressure sodium arcs within the same bulb, Dual Arc Grow Bulbs allow growers to reap the benefits of both lighting technologies, from the vegetative to the flowering stage. We offer these unique HIDs in 1000-watt options in brands such as Plantmax, Ultra Sun, and Hortilux.
Conversion Grow Bulbs
Conversion Grow Bulbs are either metal halide bulbs that are used with high pressure sodium ballasts (MH conversion lamps) or high pressure sodium bulbs that are used with metal halide ballasts (HPS conversion lamps). A conversion bulb offers you the opportunity to switch the bulb in your MH or HPS fixture without changing ballasts. It is also a convenient option when you only have room for a single fixture but want the advantages of both HPS and MH lighting.
T5 Fluorescent Grow Tubes
Our selection of T5 Fluorescent Grow Tubes operate at low wattages and temperatures. We offer options in different color temperatures to promote growth at different stages of the plant life cycle. Warm white lamps (3000K) are intended for the flowering period, and cool white lamps (6400K and 6500K) are intended for the seedlings, cuttings, and vegetative period. Night light tubes replicate moonlight, allowing you to enter your grow space without interrupting your vegetative or bloom cycle.
CFL Grow Lights
Operating at low wattages and temperatures, a cfl grow light is a good choice for offices and residences where space is limited because the light bulb can be placed up to 6" away from the plant without burning it. Available in different color temperatures, you can maximize plant growth during different stages of the plant life cycle. Lower color temperatures are ideal for larger leaves during the flowering stage and higher color temperatures maximize plant height, used predominantly for seedlings, cuttings, and the vegetative stage.
Incandescent Grow Bulbs
Incandescent Grow Bulbs imitate natural light to assist plant growth. Our selection includes R20, R25, R30, and R40 options.
6500K T8 Veg
These 6500K T8 Veg bulbs are low-wattage, low-temperature options offered in a cool white color temperature (6500K) to stimulate plant growth in the vegetative period. Available in a variety of brands, quantities, and wattages.

Fr. Andrew Greeley, an eminent sociologist of religion, probably the best-selling priest/novelist of all time, and the Catholic church's most prominent in-house critic, died late Wednesday night in Chicago. He was 85.
John L. Allen Jr. remembers the man and his legend in this appreciation. He also wrote a profound profile on Greeley in 1999, a piece Allen has said is one of his favorites.

Though I'm not exactly sure what "Ironhead" means (it must be some new lexicon that hasn't gotten to me yet), it seems to have something to do with some hardcore blowjobs, since that's what this title is filled with.
Kudos to Celestia and to Daphne Rosen for giving what looks like real quality head. Celestia and her English accent will have you hard before she even begins to suck, and Daphne Rosen takes on two huge cocks with the sort of control usually reserved for horse jockeys. Very nice.
The rest is pretty same-old, same-old, but these two scenes really help this feature stand out among the rest.

GRAYSON COUNTY, TX -- A Grayson County man accused of setting fire to his own home has been indicted.
Johnny Henderson, 45, of Preston, was arrested in October 2007 after fire officials say he set his house on fire.
At the time, his mother called 911, saying her son assaulted her and then tried to commit suicide by burning the house down.
He was later found alive in McKinney. Henderson has been in custody since the incident. The house was destroyed by the fire.

Ok I'm kinda new to coding with php. But what I'm trying to do is have a particular dynamic sidebar active on a particular page only if that sidebar is active. If it's not active I wish it to load the sidebar that is used on the rest of the site. but I can't for the life of me figure out how to code it.
I have the following, but it doesn't seem to be working.
<?php if ( is_page(190) ) { ?>

We examined associations of fish assemblages and fish traits with urbanization and selected environmental variables in nine major United States metropolitan areas. The strongest relations between fishes and urbanization occurred in the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Boston, Massachusetts; and Portland, Oregon. In these areas, environmental variables with strong associations (rs ≥ 0.70) with fish assemblages and fish traits tended to have strong associations with urbanization. Relations of urbanization with fish assemblages and fish traits were weaker in Denver, Colorado; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; Milwaukee-Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Raleigh, North Carolina. Environmental variables associated with fishes varied among the metropolitan areas. The metropolitan areas with poor relations may have had a limited range of possible response because of previous landscape disturbances. Given the complexities of urban landscapes in different metropolitan areas, our results indicate that caution is warranted when generalizing about biological responses to urbanization.

I really wanted to like this plug in; I even upgraded to the paid version and it has just been a major disappointment.
Sure, it looks great (one star for that) but it has too many bugs.
For instance, if I do a spell check in WP, it adds some code to every misspelled word or words WP doesn't recognize. I'll have to manually remove this string of code from my recipe which is very time consuming. I can no longer use the WP spell check for this reason
My first support ticket got a response after three weeks; I submitted one about the spell check issue which was over two months ago!! Some free apps have way better support than this app I PAID FOR.
Needless to say I'll be looking for a better solution.

Direct Reading and Translation I is a a 30-credit module taught in Term 1 through two 2-hour seminars per week supplemented by individual tutorials.
Direct Reading and Translation I and II (the latter runs in Term 2) together form the language element of the 1-year MA in China Health and Humanity. These two modules will provide structured English language support, and will help the students to develop and refine the written communication skills they will need to present their research to an English-speaking audience. The format is designed to allow native Chinese speakers to work from their own linguistic strengths, contributing meaningfully to the whole programme and the work of the Centre.
The course involves researching and reading Chinese primary and secondary literature, and abstracting, presenting and discussing it in English.
Direct Reading and Translation I will focus on summarising skills and the mechanics of academic writing, including good referencing practice. For each seminar, every student will be asked to read one or two Chinese-language articles on a key topic, normally from a selection provided by the course leaders, and to prepare two abstracts and/or translations of approximately 300–400 words each, to be submitted to the lecturer in advance. The students will present their abstracts orally during the Core course, offering an overview of the Chinese literature on each of the subject areas covered.
The broad subject areas will follow the Core course in Term 1. As far as possible, the seminars will be tailored to the interests and needs of the participants.
In the second half of Term 1, each student will write a Literature Review of 3,000 words on a subject of his or her choice, in preparation for the MA Dissertation.
Work of a sufficient standard will be published online.
Where the student is also a PhD student registered at a Chinese university, this
could entail re-writing elements of the thesis in English.
All students are expected to support their own learning by making full use of the wide range of self-access English language learning material available at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (formerly UCL Language Centre) If appropriate, students may be advised to attend additional courses in English for Academic Purposes at the Language Centre.
100% coursework:
50% composite mark for weekly English abstracts/translations
50% literature review (one essay, 3,000 words)
Reading and preparation
It is expected that each student will spend an average of 20 hours a week on reading and preparation.
Recommended reading
Print-outs of articles in Chinese on the core topics will be provided each week during Term 1.

Video footage of DEF LEPPARD guitarist and MANRAZE frontman Phil Collen talking to Artisan News about DELTA DEEP, his " extreme blues project" with singer Debbi Blackwell-Cook, can be seen below.DELTA DEEP debuted three songs at the LA Radio Studio during an appearance on the "Radio Screamer" show. Check out video footage below. Collen previously stated about DELTA DEEP: "It is Debbi Blackwell-Cook, who sang on 'Take On The World' and she is on the new MANRAZE single. She's got this amazing voice, a cross between Tina Turner and Chaka Khan, this incredible powerful voice. "We're doing this blues album, Paul Cook's on one of the tracks. "I'm constantly writing, and I'll be with DEF LEPPARD and think that won't work for DEF LEPPARD, but it might go in MANRAZE, but now I've got a third outlet. "I had an injury on my tendon, and I couldn't really play guitar, so I learned to play slide. "You have to do whatever you can when it appears; when inspiration rears its heads, you have to take advantage of that. I think when you don't do that, you miss a golden opportunity. For me, there's this great artistic fulfilment in writing and working on songs."

By Civilian Personnel Advisory CenterFebruary 2, 2012
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Electronic retirement estimates are now available online. Current DA employees who are eligible for a voluntary or optional retirement within the next five years can now request a retirement estimate electronically through the Employee Benefits Information System (EBIS).
To request an estimate, the employee should log into EBIS through the ABC-C website at https://www.abc.army.mil and click on the "HR Link" button. Eligible employees will be asked a series of questions about their retirement estimate request. Once submitted, the request will flow electronically to ABC-C where the request will enter a queue to be worked. The completed estimate will be electronically returned to the employee's EBIS account and, similar to the system used by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service for receipt of leave and earnings statements, an email notification will be sent to the employee that the estimate is available in EBIS.
Employees who are not within five years of voluntary retirement and click on the "HR Link" button will receive a notice that they are ineligible to request an electronic estimate. Employees who are not within five years of voluntary retirement eligibility but who wish to receive an estimate (Minimum Retirement Age (MRA)+10, Voluntary Early Retirement Authority (VERA), disability and deferred retirement) will not be able to use the electronic option at this time. These employees will need to request their estimate by calling the ABC-C automated phone line at (877) 276-9287 and speaking with a retirement counselor.
Offering this online option provides greater protection of personally identifiable information, reduced costs associated with paper mailings and convenience for the employee in both requesting the estimate electronically.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Electronic Records, Private Lives
Who gets a peek at online medical information?
It's 10 a.m. Do you know where your medical records are? That's a question that has a lot of people worried. What if the boss found about that mental health problem you were treated for? Or suppose the life insurance company comes sniffing around to see if you'll be able to keep up with the monthly premiums in a few years. Maybe your cholesterol is higher than you'd like it to be but don't want your family to nag you into giving up cheeseburgers.
Or maybe your company finds out that you've got a genetic time bomb ticking away inside you -- a rare disease that could cause serious health problems for you and send the company's health insurance costs through the roof. Sound like a paranoid nightmare? Not to Terri Sergeant. In 1999, Sergeant, an office manager for an insurance broker in South Carolina, was fired when a genetic test revealed that she had an inherited respiratory disease known as alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. The disease, which can be fatal if undetected or untreated, is caused by deficiency of a protein that protects lung cells from infections caused by inflammation. The condition can be effectively managed with weekly intravenous infusions of the missing protein, but the treatment is costly and long-lasting.
It's the "costly" and "long-lasting" parts that appear to have cost Sergeant her job. But the law, at least, was on her side: Sergeant was recently awarded damages from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which ruled that she had been discriminated against on the basis of the cost of care.
Nor was Sergeant alone: When the late social scientist Dorothy C. Wertz, PhD, from the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester, Mass., surveyed U.S. genetics professionals in 1999, she found 693 reported cases where either patients or their family members had been refused life insurance or employment on the basis of their genetic status, even when they showed no symptoms of disease.
Audits Welcome?
Reports such as these, while still uncommon, raise important questions about what happens when sensitive medical information gets into the wrong hands. Many hospitals now have computerized systems that allow access to medical records by anyone with a computer terminal and the right password or authorization code. A few even allow online access to complete medical records by patients themselves.

Hotel Travel at Your Fingertips
At the new 296-room Aloft Sukhumvit 11 hotel in Bangkok, some guests aren't getting room keys. Instead, specialized smartphones open doors, change TV channels, access room service and adjust air conditioning.
Given to guests staying in the hotel's 50 "Touch" rooms, the smart phones use an app called Fingi, from a New York-based start-up of the same name that's at the forefront of bringing mobile technology to the hotel industry.
With hotel-supplied phones, Fingi, whose name is a play on the idea of having everything at your fingertips, aims to solve one of the biggest problems in international travel: connectivity.
In addition to opening the curtains, the Fingi app, loaded onto a Samsung Galaxy device for Aloft, provides guests with a local telephone number and low-cost international calling. It also acts as a mobile hotspot, which alone could be worth the $15 per night surcharge.
