My Mom and I invested $7,500 each, we were not expecting to get "rich" we were interested in supplementing our income per month. At the beginning when the company is trying to sell you the product they are friendly, responsive and seem to be opened. I dealt witht a Sales Rep named Mark Pelle and he had stated that there were locations all ready to go in our area ( approx 33) and that our income would most likely be $35,000 a year based on our purchase of 3 locations.
I was also told by Mark that each location had to meet a certain criteria in order to even be selected as a Debit card location. The location had to have a minimum of 200 people per day in their store. I was also told by Mark that DCA monitors how many cards I sold per day per location and if my location(s) failed to sell a minimum of 4 cards per day per location then DCA proactivly starts to search for a new location.
I was told and I quote " DCA makes their money from the residuals of the cards, not on the initial investment from the distributors" . Well, I can vouch that the locations were awful, when I got a location to look at. I had my machines in my house for approx 6 weeks even before I got ONE location and I got another lousy location but was getting desperate to get some sort of return on my investment.
So I only ever had TWO machines out in locations, I never even got the 3rd one out of my house. I never sold ONE card and I never received a phone call from DCA with a new location. Well after purchasing the "locations" I never got to speak to Mark again, I wanted to talk with him because he is the person that had provided all of the FALSE information.
I was passed to a man named Harvey who was useless and I went through 3 Locators, Lee Smallwood, Tim Baldwin and a woman named Sonja. ALL of these locators were USELESS, actually when I was dealing with Sonja she must of have goofed by telling me this. I was calling to complain that the locations were not what I had been promised when I signed on for this investments.
I explained that I was told by Mark that the locations had to meet a certain criteria and that DCA actually did some research on the Locations. Well Sonja said to me " I don't know what you were told, but I take out a phone book doe your area and I run my finger down it and start calling stores" Well, that's is when I KNEW that I had been ripped off.
I have hired a laywer and I am trying to get my money back, I did look on the BBB in Florida before I invested and the site stated that there were no complaints regarding this Company. I believe that the DA in Florida should be prosecuting this companys owners and employees who knowingly ripped people off. I thought there were LAWS to PROTECT US.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

From my earliest memory I was a girl. My dad vintage 1895 and my mother vintage 1900 did not agree and made things quite painful until I decided to stop bringing shame on the family. From that time forward I had to learn to keep it to myself. If you appeared different during the 30 & 40s you were asking for trouble so not only was I in the closet but I was proving to the world that I was a bloke. I was the Nerd all through school and always the loner. Spent 13 years in the forces then things got a little close so I left and then wound up in the Air force of Oman and a short stint in the Nigerian Army. All through that I was still that girl inside but no one would ever guess that about this bad ass bloke that I appeared.
The only person in all that time that I ever came out to was a lovely lesbian girl in Norwich UK and she came out to me. We sorted it out, got married and that lasted 45 years till her death. That was perfect, we could hide right out in the open.
So, yes I think being born with a brain that is at a different place to the body that it happens to be in is a horrible situation. It does not show much on the outside but on the inside it's awful. People do not accept you and many end their life. Meeting my Linda was my saving grace but life was hell when I lost her. I still after 10 years miss her terribly but changing gender finally made life great and I am catching up on all those things that I missed. So, Birth defect, You bet.
Regarding my comment below, I meant to say, your perspective helps make us whole.
Chrissie, I'm very intrigued by something you said below. "It took a long time and a lot of money to correct that birth defect." Do you really consider the condition of your birth to be a defect? To me, that seems to be a rather harsh evaluation of yourself, but I have not been in your same situation.
Thanks for you words below. We are all a piece of the pie, and your perspective helps make up whole.
Chrissie, thank you for sharing your experiences and insights. You have done a lot and been through a lot. People should listen to you.
It appears that to participate in any cult that claims to be a religion you have to pick at least one group of mankind to hate. Even those who have suffered hatred for years seem to also find another group to hate. Its not just the so called Christian bigots I have seen it in every cult going. American evangelists are responsible for a lot of hate and murder in Africa. I have traveled through Africa, Asia and the Middle East and being an in the closet transsexual woman during those times and an atheist I was able to look at all the stupidity that these cults can dream up with out any internal reason to accept any of this crap. Living as what appeared to be a straight male made life fairly easy but I hated it and after 75 years of trying to be something that I was not I finally managed to gain my true gender as the female I always was. It took a long time and a lot of money to correct that birth defect. I am at home in my new life but I now have to face a new bunch of crazy's. Not only the Sky god fruit cakes but now a lot of radical lesbians who say if I was not born woman than they also have the right to hate the tranny. Makes you wonder just what will be next. Now we have black people hating black people.
I am now getting through my 80th year on this earth. It seems like we humans find something new to hate every time we get to the point of finally accepting that we were wrong to hate this or that we go off in a new direction and start hating someone else.
In my opinion the Human race has a very long way to go before it grows up to finally be responsible for themselves. Of course I think that long before that happens we will have given this planet back to the cockroaches.
Perhaps in another million years a new life form will materialize, It would have to go a long way to screw it up as bad as we have done. .The last lot, you know the big lizards were not all screwed up believing a bunch of fairy tales, all they had to worry about was getting eaten by one of the big bastards. Life was quite simple.
That guy doesn't know how he mirrors past bigotry. I remember as a kid, in my church, they used to say black men would steal away white women because of the irresistible sensuality of black men.
As for testing the DNA of intersex children, I don't know what that accomplishes. Even if chromosomally a child is one sex or the other, or both (XXY and XYY people), they have a right to keep their anatomy intact. The rest of the world needs to learn to accept that people come in all sorts. There are also women who are XY but their cells don't respond to androgen, so they are completely female but don't have ovaries and can't have children. They come out of the uterus completely female. There would be no reason to try to make them male, just because they are XY.
Yes, Joan, I agree wholeheartedly. Felaine has spoken passionately and eloquently. Thanks to both of you and also to all our other allies on here who have chimed in with support. All of you make the world a better place.
There's so much wrong, outlandish and f*cked up about the person in this video that it's hard to imagine that he's actually being serious. Where does one even begin?
Felaine, you write powerfully and your voice needs to be heard by a wider audience. Everything you write is factual and not just complaining about life and being a victim. By naming the problem, giving concrete details, you provide valuable information that some people just do not have. Once they get the real picture, some will pay attention and join in your and our struggles.
O, Sentient one, there is another "born that way problem"...one that I have, and don't usually resent, except when it comes to job and pay equality. I was born female, and "I've enjoyed being a girl" EXCEPT when it came to a couple of part time jobs I wanted (one was just delivering flowers, for shirts sake!), but lost because I was female. And pay inequality.
Because I was a bookkeeper and payroll clerk most of my life, I knew damn well none of the women were being paid as much as men who were doing exactly the same work. So now that I'm going on 75, I'm getting about 2/3 of the Social InSecurity "benefits" that I would be if 'd been paid more, and had more FICA tax deducted from my earnings. It's the difference between paying all my monthly bills at once and deciding which ones I'll let slide for another month.
And the pay inequality is still going on in most places.
NOW....do they test intersex babies' DNA as soon as they are born now? They SHOULD...that would give a more accurate answer than visual inspection. Or leave the kid alone, and wait till he or she is old enough to tell who or what he or she feels like. Most people know before, or on the edge of, puberty whether they are gay, str8, bi, male or female. At least that's what I've heard from friends, and read.
Just don't hide the facts of life from kids to keep them "innocent." They aren't...nobody is.
I have an e-friend who is a sex educator, and she is highly in favor of teaching kids (and their parents) about sex and sexuality from first grade on. And so am I. It would certainly save a lot of heartache later on.
Nevertheless, WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, WORTHY OF THE SAME RESPECT AND RIGHTS AS EVERYBODY ELSE.
I have spoken!
(And how many bigots know how close human DNA is to a chimpanzee's? Heh! 90-something%)

Uncovering different types of inequality in jobless figures
Published 26/06/2014 | 02:30
Monsieur Thomas Piketty made quite a media splash last week. The new superstar of economics – or, as he would prefer, social science – did a number of interviews during his trip to Dublin for the Tasc conference, including one with this correspondent.
No doubt the personable Frenchman is enjoying his overnight success, after 15 years of beavering away at mountains of historical data. No doubt, too, he will learn that one cannot say yes to every request, but he has a message to deliver. The intriguing question is why there is so much interest in his message.
Some of it reflects the remarkable piece of work that is his book, 'Capital in the 21st Century'. But he also touched a chord that almost everyone recognises (certainly everyone in the media) – fascination with the rich.
Scott Fitzgerald's immortal phrase goes along the lines of: 'The rich are different. They have more money.' Piketty's book shows why they have and claims they are going to continue getting more and more different from the rest of us.
But this fascination with the rich carries dangers.
The Piketty phenomenon overshadowed another report on another kind of inequality. This came from the National Economic and Social Council (NESC), the government think tank which represents the social partners, and the rich barely get a mention.
The fact that the rich are different from us means that, if we concentrate on them, the rest of us do not have to take responsibility for the state of affairs on show in the NESC report. There is much clamour for Piketty taxes on the wealthy, very little for more taxes on middle income groups, and none at all for extra taxation, or fewer benefits, for the bottom third.
The NESC report does not do much of that either. But it does show a far more complex situation than most of us know about. Even those who do know about it have very little idea how to fix it.
The shocking headline figure is that almost a quarter of households in Ireland can be described as jobless, compared with a European average of 11pc. Other economic studies have looked into this extraordinary discrepancy but it has never become a major point of discussion.
Some of the symptoms get a lot of attention. One is the question of inequality. Ireland comes out badly in the data compiled by the UN. Everyone then throws a Piketty and starts complaining about bankers' salaries.
That picture of a wildly unequal Irish society never fitted with everyday observation of European countries, particularly the poorer ones. In a recent address, Cork university economist Seamus Coffey gave an explanation why not.
The huge percentage of jobless households not surprisingly creates a bigger gap in earnings than one finds in most European countries. The explanation as to why Ireland does not seem that unequal is a bit surprising. The Irish social welfare system is the most effective in Europe at reducing the gap between those who are in work and those who are not. Count actual income and Ireland rates rather well on equality.
It hardly needs saying, though, that this is nothing to be proud of. Quite the reverse. But it is not easy to figure out the reasons for this dismal picture. One puzzle is that the high proportion of jobless households is not particularly related to levels of unemployment – here or elsewhere.
The comparison with Spain leaps out of the NESC report. We all know that Spanish unemployment is around 25pc, but the proportion of jobless households is less than half that of Ireland's.
We are talking about social structures. Bodies like the OECD would say that one of Spain's problems is that so many jobs are protected by law.
One of the reasons that is difficult to change is that, in many Spanish households, a person with such a protected job may be the only one in employment.
Ireland's labour market and social structures are quite different. The most extreme statistic is that well over half the jobless households contained children, compared with less than 30pc in other EU countries. There is a high proportion of single parents among the jobless households.
This is another kind of inequality. If one looks at the percentage of adults who live in these jobless households, Ireland is around the EU average. At 11pc, it is less than the UK figure of 13pc, but Britain has a smaller proportion of households where no one works.
In the days before jargon and political correctness took their toll, this would have been called a problem of an "underclass".
It is concentrated among certain types of people and in certain types of place – especially small towns, which fare even worse than rural areas.
There is little mystery about its characteristics. Those who live in jobless households are more likely to have no educational qualifications, to have never worked and to have a disability or live with someone with a disability, NESC says.
The mystery is the difference in the Irish situation compared with others. There are clearly questions to be asked of the education system, especially where adult education is concerned. But the figures also appear to show that there are fewer jobs in Ireland, especially for the less skilled.
These are the equality issues which make everyone uncomfortable. ESRI analysis finds that most people on welfare would find it financially worthwhile to take a job. But such jobs are scarce, and have become more so since the crash.
That begs the unpleasant question as to whether the relatively high level of Irish wages inhibits the creation of lesser-skilled jobs in the domestic economy. There is no point in employers offering jobs which pay less than welfare. There will be some takers, but not many. Other ways than employing people will have to be found to get the business done.
All this is speculative, and more research is being done; some of it by the Department of Social Protection.
In the meantime, that basic fact is deeply troubling: a country where the gap between earnings is one of the highest but the gap between incomes one of the lowest, thanks to transfers from one lot to the other.
That is not how things ought to be.

▪ Objective: To identify and quantify risk factors for lower extremity amputation in persons with diabetes mellitus.
▪ Design: Case-control study.
▪ Setting: A Veterans Affairs medical center.
▪ Patients: Eighty patients having amputation associated with diabetes and 236 diabetic controls without limb lesions were enrolled before surgery from the 21 167 inpatient care and outpatient surgical patients seen at the Seattle Veterans Affairs Medical Center during a 30-month period.
▪ Measurements: Selected vascular, neuropathic, environmental, health care, self care, nutritional, metabolic, lifestyle, and psychosocial risk factors were measured in all patients before surgery.
▪ Results: Statistically significant risk factors identified from analysis included insufficient mean below-knee and foot cutaneous circulation (odds ratio, 161; 95% Cl, 55.1 to 469); ankle-arm blood pressure index < 0.45 (odds ratio, 55.8; Cl, 14.9 to 209); absence of lower leg vibratory perception (odds ratio, 15.5; Cl, 8.3 to 28.7); low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfraction 3 ≤ 0.7 µmol/L (odds ratio, 4.9; Cl, 2.9 to 8.3); and no previous outpatient diabetes education (odds ratio, 3.2; Cl, 1.6 to 6.6). A logistic regression analysis done to control for the potentially confounding effects of age; race; socioeconomic status; diabetes duration, type, and severity confirmed these findings and added a statistically significant interaction between foot transcutaneous oxygen tension and peripheral vascular disease history. Clinical interventions to alter these risk factors were identified, including aggressive treatment of infection, diabetes education, protective footwear, and preventive footcare.
▪ Conclusions: Multiple risk factors exist along the continuum of conditions and events leading to lower extremity amputation in diabetes. Modification of certain risk factors by patients and health professionals may reduce the risk for amputation and thus decrease the human and dollar costs that accompany limb loss in this prevalent chronic disease.

As of now I saw that a class action suit was happening with American Credit Solutions and I called the Attorneys office that was handeling it but that got me no where. When I talked to them the gentelman I spoke with wanted me to mail my package that I had recieved from A.C.S. to him but he never gave me there address nore his name. I e-mailed them and left messages to them with no responce back at all and if this package was so important to him he should have given me the information I needed. He also told me that my name was added to the lawsuit but still no responce.
All I want is justice. This has been happening for two years now and i'm over $10,000 in dept just in credit card bills thanks to American Credit Solutions with no way out. My last option now is to file for bankrupcy that I don't want to do.
I still have all the information from A.C.S. Can you help me?

Winger Jon Taylor was a Boxing Day doubt for the trip to Notts County but recovered from a hamstring injury to start and duly played his part in the late equaliser which rescued a 2-2 draw at Meadow Lane.
Taylor's cross-come-shot was punched into his own net by caught out goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski, who has been credited with an own goal although the effort may well be given to the Shrews man for what would be his fourth goal in four games.
Turner kept faith with the same XI for a third successive match against the Magpies and the impressive point means he will see little need for change.
Midfielder Mark Wright (knee) will again be assessed as he looks to make his comeback but fellow midfielder Luke Summerfield (hernia) remains out.
Meanwhile, fringe striker Ryan Doble has been ruled out for between three to six weeks after breaking a bone in his hand during training.

after update to WP 3.5 the setup panel - Titles and Meta dissappeared. Please fix it
after update to WP 3.5 the setup panel - Titles and Meta dissappeared. Please fix it
"disappeared"? Could you check "Screen options" in the top right and see if WP SEO just hasn't been deactivated?
In fact it is active and all menus are active, but the the only broken menu is "Title and Meta". I can see only the top menu with "General", "taxonomies", other menu members and a button "Save settings". Before 3.5 update there were a number of options between the top menu and the "Save" button
I tried to disable the plugin and enable it again but with no changes. I remember how things went: in WP admin I saw a message that there were 3 new updates: a theme, SEO, WP 3.5. I chose to update the SEO plugin, then updated the WP. Then during tuning the SEO features I opened the "Titles and Meta" menu and found it empty
please have a look at the printscreen:
everything is in Russian, but I'm sure you'll understand
I get exactly the same problem - just after upgrading to the latest plugin update and then wordpress 3.5.
I have the same problem. Let me add that not only in the titles and metà but also in all pages or posts admin page the wordpress SEO disappear.
Many thanks
I confirm - SEO is disappeared but in addition to that I've noticed that even the text editor bar is empty either. Probably some bugs with CSS
Same problem here. Titles & Metas is missing, other than the navigation bar at the top (General - Home - Post Types etc.)
Has anyone figured this out yet?
I'm also having this problem. It's a javascript problem as that's what displays the contents of the Title & Metas section. Do the other standard wordpress dashboard menu options also no longer pop-out of their left-hand sidebars for you guys?
Here is my post about the problem and my discoveries so far. Hoping to get an answer on this one.
same problem
I had the same issue and found there was a conflict with another plugin. In my case, it was All in One Event Calendar.
Hey there,
I am having the same problems after updating to 3.5, but the problem only appears in one of my websites (both upgraded). Is it possible that it is a theme issue?
The same problem occurs with the Contactform7-Plugin. There I've got the same problems with the backend (missing parts).
Do you have any ideas why it only happens to certain WP-installations?
Best regards
I was thinking the same thing - that this might be a theme related problem. Except I've installed wordpress seo on a clean installation of the theme I'm using and this doesn't happen. I've then combined it with all the plugins I use, one by one, which do no include the calendar or contact form plugins mentioned, and the titles & metas still show up. I have yet to isolate the problem but I think it doesn't occur until I start changing values and configuring the wordpress seo plugin.
One thing I do know is that I am getting javascript errors in my admin dashboard and all the errors are in the wordpress seo sections of the site's scrips.

Ubisoft banking on Natal, PS3 motion controller
CEO Yves Guillemot reveals 10 games in development for Microsoft's Project Natal and a handful for Sony's PS3 motion controller.
A batch of casual games are under development for Xbox 360 and PS3 that will take advantage of new motion control peripherals for both consoles expected in 2010, Ubisoft's Guillemot announced during a conference call Monday.
The decision to invest in Project Natal and PS3 motion controller games could be seen as a response to poor sales of Wii titles. Ubisoft has not been able to capitalise on huge Wii hardware sales, resulting in losses for games like Rabbids Go Home.
Better-than-expected sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 titles such as Assassin's Creed 2, however, may lead the way for greater success of motion-controlled games on those consoles. Guillemot said to expect 10 games in the months following the release of Project Natal and 4-5 for the PS3 motion controller in spring 2010.

The Auditions Shaped The Project
By Trisha Beausaert
April 7, 2014
I have been aware of Voices.com for a while now, but just recently had a project to post a job for.
For this project, I was shooting a panoramic virtual tour for a local bakery, and shot some behind the counter footage of their baked goods and captured several cakes being frosted and decorated.
For the voice over, I had in mind a 30-40 something female voice, but was open to whatever felt like would fit the overall tone and feel. I was surprised to see over a hundred auditions where most recorded a sample of my script to listen to. This really helped as I could play the voice over sample along with the soundtrack and video to see how well it would fit. Also, the different samples inspired new ideas.
I finally chose Melynda Sims for the voice over and she did a great job.
MacKenzies' Bakery Promo from Ignertia on Vimeo.
I have a lot of appreciation for Melynda, and also to all the other voice artists who submitted samples, as the other voice overs I listened to had a part in helping shape the final project.
I'm looking forward to future projects with Voices.com!

Kathy Borkowski worked for Executive Mortgage and was offering loans. The scam is that she would collect your information and then tell you that you are approved. She would tell you that the bank would need a deposit for the loan. She took $18,000 from me. $5,000 from Mathew haddad, and over $100,000 from kirt scrivens. All of us live in myrtle beach,sc. Kathy Borkowski then took all of our money and ran. She moved several hours away to Rapid City, SD. She then started to give out loans through two companies. Rushmore Mortgage and Premier Mortgage. Both of these companies were somehow connected to her original company. I looked for her for two years and finally found her via facebook and the internet. I contacted the police department for Pennington county. The detective in charge of the case is Detective Warren Poches. [continued below]....

- The poem describes the toddler as 'Yapping always,' as producing the fluent vocables that gradually give birth to words, but still not enunciating the words themselves.
- How does the human being who says 'That's green' differ from the parrot trained to utter the same vocables in response to the presentation of a green card?
- Lowell goes all out for the adjective, and it's hard to think of a writer with such provocative and interesting adjectives, or one who finds such depth in what is thought of as a shallow and inessential vocable.

Product Description
About the KJW M700 Sniper Rifle
The KJW M700 is the ultimate sniping platform in the airsoft world.
This rifle features a simple design that replicates the real M700 with its solid polymer stock and metal barrel, bolt, and receiver assembly. The rifle does include iron sights, but this rifle was really meant to be used with a large optical scope on top. The included scope rail will allow the user to mount such a scope on the top of the receiver. There are front and rear swivel mounts for either a sling or a bipod. The polymer stock has a black textured finish on it that adds extra control to the rifle to help the user stabilize it. The gas powered action of this rifle makes it very simple to use, as the bolt is incredibly light and smooth when compared to spring sniper rifles. Since this is a gas powered sniper rifle, it has plenty of power with a muzzle velocity of between 500 and 550 FPS right out of the box. That extra power allows the user to use much heavier bb's and gain consistency and accuracy while retaining the guns incredible range. There are a number of upgrades available for this gun on the market, making it an incredible rifle as a sniping platform to build from. Even without upgrades, this rifle is certainly one to be feared right out of the box with its high velocity, accurate hopup, ease of use, and incredible range.
Anyone looking for a starter airsoft sniper platform or one to upgrade and trick out will be more than pleased with both the upgradeability and solid out of the box performance of the KJW M700.
What's Included In The Box:
- KJW M700 Gas Sniper Rifle

De La Hoya Warns: Don't Blink on Porter vs. Brook
By Edward Chaykovsky
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is predicting a fast and furious fight in Saturday's main event between IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15KOs) and mandatory challenger Kell Brook (32-0, 22KOs). Both fighters have promised fireworks and both are looking to win by knockout.
"The main event is definitely one of those fights where you don't want to blink. I know both these fighters have the hunger and desire to put on just an amazing fight. Shawn Porter comes from Cleveland, Ohio, a place that grooms champions, like LeBron James. He's a real throwback fighter who works hard and will fight anybody. Kell Brook is a true champion who is hungry and determined," De La Hoya said.
The fight takes place at the StubHub Center in Carson, California - which De La Hoya says is the perfect venue for this fight.
"StubHub Center is known for putting on some amazing fights. I like to call it the 'Thuderdome'. You know, the old movie with Mel Gibson and Tina Turner where they just go to fight. Every single fight we've staged at StubHub has been incredible," De La Hoya said.

We have been lucky enough to be able to enter this competition to enter the F&F Children's party wear competition and we have been able to kit out both girls for the party season for only £50!
Now I have to admit, they girl's have more on than I do these coming weeks, from discos to Santa visits, they have it all. Every year we go and choose party outfits for both, this year we have kitted them out with the great childrens party wear from F&F at Tesco. As you will see in the pictures below, both girls had a whole new outfit PLUS shoes to complete the ensembles!
There was an awful lot to choose from on the website, so there was something to suit each child. It was fantastic value for money, we usually spend well over our budget trying to kit them both out, but this time the only trouble we had was the choosing part, because there really is so much to choose from!!
Although Pop's does look upset, it was only because she didn't want to say cheese OR smile, I think it was just anything I ask her to do, which is not at all unusual.
I have to say, I often buy the girl's things from F&F but never really thought of them for party wear for Christmas, but now we are converted.
Pops' boots are fantastic, she always looks so glam in boots and was very impressed with these, they will surely survive the scuffing and bouncing that she puts each pair of shoes through and for £15, they were a real bargain. She also had the beautiful dress and leggings. The dress was a real hit and really suited her. The leggings are perfect for keeping warm and will also go with other outfits.
Beboo's outfit had to be practical and withstand her antics, so the Christmassey top, tights, tutu and sparkly shoes were perfect. She can still move around freely and her extreme speeds as well as look part of the party! She can also use the reindeer top with other outfits, always a bonus.
All in all, we were really impressed with the range of the party wear at F&F and will be sure to return next Christmas for the festive party season.
We were provided with vouchers in order to purchase the outfits. All views are my own.

David Perdue, Jack Kingston Advance to Georgia GOP Senate Runoff
David Perdue will face Rep. Jack Kingston (R., Ga.) in a July runoff election for the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
The two Republicans finished atop a seven-way Republican primary field that also included Karen Handel and Reps. Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey. The Associated Press called the race for Mr. Perdue, who received 30% of the vote, and Mr. Kingston, who received 26%, with 87% of precincts reporting results.

- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
Karen Handel, a former Georgia secretary of state who was endorsed by Sarah Palin, placed third with 22% of the vote.
The winner of the July 22 runoff will face Michelle Nunn, who sailed to the Democratic nomination on Tuesday with nominal opposition. Democrats hope that they can boost minority turnout in Georgia in order to pick up the Senate seat and to counteract potential losses in other conservative states. Democrats currently hold a majority of seats in the Senate.
Republican Party leaders and their business allies were pleased by the outcome of the Republican primary. They had feared—and Democrats had hoped—that two other candidates, Reps. Broun and Gingrey, would advance to the runoff. Both had tried to appeal to the most conservative voters.
Mr. Broun, for example, once called evolution "lies from the pit of hell.'' Democrats believed that he and Mr. Gingrey would be less successful general-election candidates than Messrs. Perdue and Kingston.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce backed Mr. Kingston, and Mr. Perdue, who served as a senior executive at Reebok International Ltd. and chief executive of Dollar General Corp., successfully cast himself as a political outsider who would shake up Washington.
Asked at a weekend debate, Mr. Perdue would not commit to backing Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) as the Senate GOP's leader.
With Mr. Perdue as the top vote-winner in Tuesday's primary, the question through much of the evening was which candidate would take the second slot in the run-off.
McConnell Wins Kentucky Senate Primary
GOP Sees Primaries Taming the Tea Party
Wolf Wins Democratic Governor Primary in Pennsylvania

Mayan Palace Timeshare Scam
AUTHOR: LauDiaz - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 01, 2014POSTED: Saturday, March 01, 2014
I was convinced by Mayan Palace timeshare salespeople that an upgrade to my timeshare from Mayan Palace to Mayan Place Regency would make it easier to rent and more saleable. I entered into a contract for $6,720.00 to complete this upgrade. I have since learned that this upgrade is doing nothing for me as I try to sell and rent the unit. The list of benefits is this:Elite Reservations rental program (which I had available before),RCI enhanced pkg, certificates for cruise and vacation discounts, 50% off golf green fees (previously it was 20%), senior certificare (I'm NOT a senior), no mandatory maintenance fees after 5 years if I don't use the property?? Lots of free extra benefits and vacation bonuses but nothing tangible. I owe a cash out of $4,368.00. I wonder what the consideration of this contract is? I have all the paperwork and had to email the sales office to get a list of benefits I paid for.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Weekend Playlist: Symbols Party
Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Symbols frontman and Flaunt DJ John Richters (better-known by his performance monicker J.J. Contramus).Over the course of our interview, we discussed his ideal set to dance to, outside of the confines of the DJ booth. We gave it a listen and were not at all surprised to see how good it was.
This weekend, sway lazily in a drunken stupor until the early hours of the morning. We've got faith in J.J. and know that these are some of the best songs to vamp out to. Also, we took the liberty of adding Symbols' remix of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," which fits in very nicely, in our opinion.
As always, we invite you to visit our official 8tracks page, where you can listen to all of the previous playlists we've made. You can also make your own and follow us!
Track listing:
Light Asylum - "Dark Allies"
Crystal Castles - "Baptism"
White Ring - "ixc999"
Symbols - "Rolling in the Deep (Symbols' Drag Bounce)"
The Knife - "Silent Shout"
Cut Copy - "Lights and Music"
Daft Punk - "Face to Face"
Martin Solveig & Dragonette - "Hello"
The Weeknd - "High for This"
Alice Deejay - "Better Off Alone"
Big Freedia - "Y'all Get Back Now"

I chose to rent this and the one bedroom suite together.The owner Roz , made this vacation so easy from start to finish. If i had a concern , she was right on top of things. No waiting for a response from her. The pictures do no justice on how gorgeous this place is. Your on the 10 floor and we had 3 balconies to look from. We were in town for my sons wedding and when other people came up to visit , the common response when they entered the room was "WOW"! Renting and staying at the Tresor tower is the only way to go. Easy check in/out. Use the owners valet parking entrance to the south. Much better than front entrance.Thanks Roz for a wonderful stay . You made our special time there spectacular!
Nothing but great things to say about the owner and this property. The Nesis were very prompt and easy to deal with. The pics do no justice for the jr. suite, it has been completely renovated and different from what the pics shows online, you won't be disappointed! The room is very immaculate with awesome ocean and pool view. I would definitely stay in this unit again and highly recommend this rental.
Thank you for allowing us to rent your unit.
Where do I begin? When I was communicating the owners, it was hard to believe that this could be real! The descriptions, reviews, and Fontainebleau details all seemed too good to be true. Let me tell you: this is vacation exceeded our expectations in every way!
The details and pictures of the condo do not do it justice. The balcony has a perfect view of 90% of the resort. The bed is luxurious, the kitchen has two stovetop eyes and the condition was immaculate. The condo exceeded our high expectations. It was extremely clean and had so many unique amenities: iphone/ipod touch radio/speakers, full-size coffee pot, ice maker in the fridge - not to mention the "basic" amenities of every Fontainebleau residence (iMac, jacuzzi, etc). The condo comes with passes for free beach chairs, free spa and gym passes, free valet, free newspapers and free internet. Those in themselves save hundreds of dollars.
As for the Fontainebleau, I could live there. Every inch of the resort is architecturally stunning, spotless, gorgeous and detail-oriented. The staff went ABOVE and beyond my expectations. Every member of the staff (busboys, front desk, beach assistants, etc) offered to help beyond what was necessary. I have read reviews about mean, rude, demanding staff. We saw nothing of that. The spa and gym were stunning. They are like mini-worlds inside of paradise. The beach was beautiful and the beach chairs were so comfortable! The pools are endless. It is the height of luxury. The resort's services were very overpriced and all costs have a 17% service fee added which adds up. You tip a lot, but the service is worth it. We only dined once at Gotham Steak - and it was pricey but worth every penny. Renting the condo saves tons of money That is the first step to making Fontainebleau affordable.
The Nesis's were super helpful, answered every question and were very accessible. I would totally rent from them again.
This was our first time in Miami and we were so greatful we decided to stay at the Fontainebleau on Midbeach and not South beach! My husband and I stayed in their Sorrento junior suite for 8 nights and it was perfect. The hotel and suite were just beautiful and at the most perfect location in Miami. The parking spot and valet were such a great bonus too. Housekeeping was our only complaint. Not very consistent (but not terrible either). Thank you Roz for helping make this a great vacation!!
You'll love these incredible accommodations. The studio was immaculate and very comfortable especially the bed and pillows. The resort amenities are wonderful. The pools, beach, fitness center and restaurants are top of the line. Free valet parking, iMac computer, and beach lounge chairs were a real bonus. Sitting on the balcony that overlooks the ocean and pools was a great way to end the day.The staff was friendly, efficient, and couldn't have been more helpful. The owners were a pleasure to work with. Their quick responses were very much appreciated. We had an exceptional time and would highly recommend this lovely studio to anyone looking for a fabulous resort style vacation.
We stayed at this property from April 3 - April 10, 2011. It is unbelievably beautiful. It is located on the 10th floor of the Tresor tower, in a corner location, so you get a great view of both the pool area and the Atlantic Ocean. The room is "first-class" with a marbled bathroom with both a shower and a separate tub, King-sized bed (super comfortable with extra pillows), small kitchen area with microwave, sink, hotplate, refrigerator, pots and pans, coffee maker and dishes and glasses. It also has a nice sized balcony which overlooks the ocean and pools. There is a nice 32" flat-screen TV, a small stereo and a really nice ipod compatable clock radio. There is also a really nice Macintosh computer with free internet access. There is also free wireless internet with strong signal quality.
There is a small desk and sitting area right near the balcony. The amenities are all top of the line. The room comes with free access to the owners lounge which serves breakfast everyday until 11, and coffee and cookies in the afternoon. This will definitely save you some $$. Valet parking is also included which normally costs $34 per day. You are also entitled to free beach lounge chairs. (the umbrella costs $24/day) The only extras you need are housekeeping ($50 per) which will straighten up your room and give you fresh towels, coffee and bathroom products.
The restaurants and lounges in the Fontainbleau are all 5 star. Everyplace we ate had excellent food and outstanding service, in fact the employees actually go out of their way to assist you in anyway they can. All-in-all the Nesis' are very nice people to deal with and will expedite your reservation and send you a receipt with a nice tip sheet to follow while you stay. We will definitely consider revisiting the Fontainbleau on our next Miami vacation.

Happy Thursday Music Boxers,
The Summer Music Film Festival 2014 comes to the Music Box on August 15th-19th! Co-presented by Sound Opinions, this festival showcases the very best music films, documentaries, and concert footage, for the fourth year in a row. Highlights of the 2014 festival include 30th anniversary screenings of Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense and Prince's Purple Rain, filmmaker-attended screenings of The 78 Project Movie and Rubber Soul, and much more! Check out the full schedule and get tickets now!
On August 20th & 21st, the mysterious and always-entertaining Tommy Wiseau returns for two nights of The Room, the cult disaster-piece that must be seen to be believed. In addition to a Q&A, Wiseau will also premiere The Neighbors, his much awaited follow-up, a sitcom about the many people who live in an L.A. apartment. In other words, exactly what you want from Tommy Wiseau.
Opening on Friday is Venus In Fur, the adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play by master filmmaker Roman Polanski. A taut encounter with a frustrated director and enigmatic actress, the Chicago Tribune calls the film, "whip-smart dissection of gender politics."
At midnight on Friday, we've got a Secret Screening up our sleeve. What could it be? Only one way to find out. Then on Saturday, do the time warp again with the Midnight Madness shadowcast at The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
We also have weekend matinees of the rockin' musical Bye Bye Birdie and daily screenings of the powerful documentary Alive Inside.
See you at the movies

The Return of Tommy Wiseau: The Room
Tommy Wiseau returns to the Music Box Theatre for two days (and nights) of GOOD IDEAS! (Thanks, Lisa!)
For over ten years The Room has been a cult favorite. Audiences laugh, they cry, they throw spoons, and they ask themselves "What did I just see? What is this feeling inside? When can I watch it again?"
Well, in the words of Tommy Wiseau (writer, director, producer, and star), "The Room is about life! We should all get together and love each other!"
And that, our friends, is exactly what you should do. Tickets are guaranteed to sell out for these limited engagements at the Music Box Theatre on August 20th and 21st. Grab your tickets now!
Venus in Fur
A film by Roman Polanski starring Emmanuelle Seigner, Mathieu Amalric
Based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway play by David Ives, which itself was based on Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's groundbreaking novella, Venus in Fur is the latest film from master filmmaker Roman Polanski.
Alone in a Paris theater after a long day of auditioning actresses for his new play, writer-director Thomas (Amalric) complains that no actress he's seen has what it takes to play the lead female character: a woman who enters into an agreement with her male counterpart to dominate him as her slave.
Thomas is about to leave the theater when actress Vanda (Seigner) bursts in, a whirlwind of erratic — and, it turns out, erotic — energy. She is pushy, foul-mouthed, desperate and ill-prepared — and a perfect fit. As the extended "audition" builds momentum, Thomas moves from attraction to obsession until, with Vanda taking an ever more dominant role, the balance of power shifts completely.
Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory
A film by Michael Rossato-Bennett starring Bobby Mcferrin, Dan Cohen, Louise Dueno, Norman Hardie
As dementia continues to affect millions of elderly Americans, Alive Inside reveals a remarkable, music-based breakthrough that has already transformed lives.
Spearheaded by social worker Dan Cohen, we learn that songs from a patient's past can awaken memories and emotions that have been asleep for years, sometimes decades. Through revealing conversations with renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks and musician Bobby McFerrin, as well as powerful firsthand experiments conducted by Cohen in nursing homes, this uplifting documentary demonstrates how connecting the elderly to the music they love not only combats memory loss but also supplements a broken healthcare system often indifferent to interpersonal connections.
Audience Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
A film by Jim Sharman starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Richard O'Brien, Charles Gray, Meatloaf, Barry Bostwick
Featuring the Midnight Madness shadowcast, who ensure what's happening in the audience is just as entertaining as what is on screen.
This notorious horror parody — a fast-paced potpourri of camp, sci-fi and rock 'n' roll, among other things — tracks the exploits of naïve couple Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) after they stumble upon the lair of transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry).
For 35 years, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has delighted audiences and terrified parents. The Music Box Theatre is the proud Chicago home of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Every screening has a shadowcast of the film (that's actors acting in front of the screen during the film), and the Halloween screenings are known to sell out!
The Midnight Madness Virgin Kit (or "prop bag") contains all you need for a Rocky Horror showing. Midnight Madness sells participation kits at The Music Box for $3. The performers do not get paid for performing at any venue, and 100% of the proceeds from kit sales go back to cast costumes, props, promotions, etc.
What's in the bag?
Balloon, Glow Stick, Time Warp Flier, Rubber Glove, Noisemaker, Confetti Bag, Toilet Paper, Party Hat, Sponge, Paper Plates, Cards, Instructions, Bag
Do not throw objects at the screen — that's just not cool and can damage a very expensive screen. Thanks!
Bye Bye Birdie
A film by George Sidney starring Dick Van Dyke, Ann-Margret, Janet Leigh
The news that Conrad Birdie, a rock-n-roll idol, is to be drafted creates a national crisis among his teenaged worshipers and spells doom for Albert Peterson (Dick Van Dyke), an impoverished song writer who wrote the title song for a film Conrad had planned to make. In an effort to solve the dilemma, Albert's secretary/sweetheart gets him to write a special farewell song for Conrad to sing to a fan on the Ed Sullivan show.
Over the many years we've been in business, we've come across some weird stuff. Whether its a fly-by-night distributor that closed up shop before we could return a film, or a collector who ran out of room at their house, a number of film prints have come into our possession at the theater. For various reasons, we've not been able to share them with an audience. But what the hell, we like you! Come see something you've likely never seen before on 35mm. Featuring the infamous "Dick Reel" and other storage room oddities!
