For Long-Haul Drivers, Cheap Gas Means A Sweeter Commute By Uri Berliner • Jan 29, 2015 With wages still stuck for many Americans, the big drop in gasoline prices is the equivalent of an unexpected cash bonus for the nation's drivers. The average American household is expected to save $750 this year from lower gas prices, according to the Energy Department. But Thomas Kinnaman, an economist at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., says it's instructive to look beyond the word "average." For Tesla, a Fight in Connecticut to Open Stores and Sell Cars By Patrick Skahill • Jan 26, 2015 Creative Commons When Art Linares wanted to buy a Tesla, it wasn't as easy as walking into a store and taking a test drive. Instead, he had to go to New York -- because in Connecticut, it's illegal for a car manufacturer to sell directly to a customer. "It prevents companies like Mercedes and BMW from creating their own stores, so they have to go through a dealership," said Linares, who's no ordinary customer -- he's a state senator for the 33rd District. Linares wants to change those dealership laws for at least for one company, Tesla, which has a world-wide policy of selling directly to customers. "What we're trying to do here in Connecticut is make an exemption for Tesla to be able to open up their own stores and sell their cars," he said.

Who hasn't imagined waking up one morning (or afternoon) and walking out the front door only to be greeted by the sun, sand, and surf of Ipanema Beach? With all the available apartments for rent in the oceanfront districts of Rio de Janeiro—Ipanema, Copacabana, Leblon, Leme, Arpoador, and Barra da Tijuca—snagging your own space and becoming a denizen of the Marvelous City for a few days, weeks, or even months has never been easier.
The easiest way to book an apartment in Rio is to locate an online rental agency and secure a short-term vacation rental. These agencies can be found through any internet search and offer detailed instructions on how to procure an apartment or "flat" through their particular agency. Vacation rentals usually include all furniture and appliances, some with pools and other perks, and can be found all over town, including less-expensive non-beach areas such as Urca, Botafogo, Santa Teresa, and Jardim Botânico. Per-night rates can range anywhere from $50 to $1000, depending on whether you're looking for a small efficiency or a multi-bedroom luxury penthouse. The attractive thing about how to rent an apartment in Rio de Janeiro is the fact that several people can contribute to the rent, lowering costs for each individual and allowing the group to stay in an area in which hotels are prohibitively expensive.
Planning a trip? Browse Viator's Rio de Janeiro attractions and Rio de Janeiro travel recommendations, or book a private tour guide in Rio de Janeiro for a customized tour!
Most properties have a minimum rental period of 3 days to one week, and 30%-50% of the total price must be paid upon reserving the apartment with the remainder paid upon arrival. Agencies usually require information regarding the number of men, women, and children planning to stay in the apartment, as landlords often don't like renting to groups of single men (sorry, guys). Bear in mind that rents in Ipanema and Leblon are some of the highest in the world. Prices drop sharply for properties in nearby Arpoador and Copacabana—both bordering Ipanema—and even more so for Barra da Tijuca and areas away from the beaches.
Renting an apartment the traditional way (i.e. obtaining a lease and paying rent on a monthly basis) is undoubtedly much more difficult than obtaining a vacation rental. The process usually involves finding a property via a rental agency, classified ads, or word of mouth, and often involving negotiations in Portuguese. A Brazilian tax identification number called a CPF is required, and most rental agencies require either a cosigner that owns property in the city (called a fiador), or a form of rental insurance that requires a Brazilian credit check and local bank statements. Landlords who handle the leasing process themselves often accept large deposits—usually the equivalent of three month's rent—in lieu of bank records or a cosigner. Lastly, most apartments on the traditional rental market come unfurnished, without appliances and even kitchen and bathroom fixtures in some instances. That said, the monthly rent of traditional apartments is often less than what you would pay for even a week in a vacation rental.

sincere yikes
I kinda doubt this presser would be talking about evacuating the city w/o some definitive information regarding the stability of the levees.
New thread with updated links and info.
Water problems are cropping up.
Yes, it was the governor; I was wrong about that the other day, too..........LOL.
Thank you very much for listing the charities!
Sorry, NN. I think I broke the last thread...
Why didn't they evacuate BEFORE the hurricane?
Fox: "Hear that hissing sound? That may be a gas leak..." Yikes.
I just listened to that news conference by the LA Governor and it is beyond my comprehension that they really didn't, and seemingly still don't have a plan for this scenario.
You broke the whole internet!
Thanks, NautiNurse, for this thread. It's been more informative than some of the wire services. Is there a freeper (Non Red Cross way) of helping these people?
"Just lake water" is a good thing, because that means it's not river water. If the river breaks into the city, it's all over.
I caught that too. The "Katie Holms" syndrome, apparently.
I feel sorry for Landrieu,,New Orleans is her heart, her family is there, her father was Mayor. She looks shell shocked.
The Gov is dumb I do believe. Bobby Jindal should have been Gov and I do think Mike Foster would have stepped up to the plate here.
But La is a poor state, democratic for the most part and we had Huey Long if you remember. Long history of poor government.
And I don't think the Gov wants to say that New Orleans is full of toxic chems, waste, bacteria and cess filled water at this point. I mean who would.
in before the ZOT!
OMG< the mayor is calling for a DAY OF PRAYER again.........she is a loon.
Good grief. She gets worse by the moment. She's approaching this like a spectator, not a leader. Heck, we've all been praying.
That, brivette, will surely be in the running for 'Understatement of the Millenium'
by lake water she means ponchatrain.
this partisan ranting and raving against la/nola officials is getting tiresome and has to provide great laughs for the other side.
maybe this thread can stay on topic.
Question asked of the Governor. Is it weeks or months before they can move back in? Weeks before assessment... some homes may not be habitable structurally.
Live New Orleans Tv -
New link for relief donations:
Maybe they will re-show it -- pretty sobering. Bottom line is this is the kind of disaster China has been waiting to befall us to give them the upper hand in the energy markets.
I agree.
"It Will Turn" seems to have been their plan.
They are not exactly the most inspiring "leaders" I've ever seen.
Anyone with live pictures?
Looks like the worst case scenario for New Orleans is indeed happening. The health hazards and other dangers will make the city untenable for weeks.
It appears to me that it is not, and that the Mississippi is indeed flowing into Eastern NO.
Not everyone has the means to do so. Let's not blame them when you don't know their situation.
They are showing video of some of the looters, and they are paying good attention to zooming in on their faces. Surely this will matter later. If these people are trapped and they are taking necessary supplies like food, diapers, water, I am sure we can all understand. If they are ripping off beer, tobacco, drugs, or nonessentials, or breaking into p eople's houses and taking personal effects, that is another story.
I am not quite sure how it is they are able to walk around unchecked, if most of the city is under water.
The question involved what was in the water: is it a toxic soup?
I mean drinking water....
Is the Gov. on the verge of a breakdown? The cube-bound, TV deprived of us think so.
I can understand why some people didn't evacuate. Maybe they didn't have cars. Many people depend on public transportation.
Maybe they didn't have money for gas, many people live paycheck to paycheck.
I heard one woman at the Super Dome say her car broke down as she was leaving town.
Maybe they were old, with no family, or infirmed, etc.
What they should have done, though, and didn't was to get to the Super Dome as instructed. Seems to me that would have saved a lot of search/rescue time, if more people had come to the Super Dome in the first place.
Heres some photos I dunno if we have seen all of them.
I'd like to say some prayers for the souls lost and those trapped right now and that if they pump out the city, I'll be one of those toursist going to MARTÍ GRAU for the first time this year.

Updates as they come in on Katrina
03:25 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 30, 2005
Tom Planchet
3:25 P.M. - With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that people now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers need to be evacuated.
"The situation is untenable," Blanco said during a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking."
3:15 P.M. - Charity Hospital is out of commission and they are trying to evacuate patients, but it is hard to get there because rising water is surrounding the hospital. They will try to evacuate the patients to other cities.
3:13 P.M. - Governor Blanco: A lot of people have lost their lives, but we have no numbers because the priority is saving those who are alive so we don't have more casualties.
3:12 P.M. - Senator Vitter: Mayor Nagin's calm and control and command of the facts showed me that we have one of the best leaders in the country right here.
3:12 P.M. - Senator Landrieu - Scenes are similar to what she saw after the Tsunami.
3:11 P.M. - Senator Landrieu: Those who evacuated should be patient and thank God that they are okay because so many still need to get out.
3:09 P.M. - Senator Landrieu: Plenty of people still on rooftops in N.O. East waiting to be rescued. Every boat available is being used to try to save people.
3:07 P.M. - Governor Blanco: We are looking for ways to get people out of the Superdome and out of New Orleans said Governor Blanco as she tried to keep from crying.
Maybe we'll just need to rebuild the whole thing inland, and a few more feet over sea level.
I apologize for that joke in advance to those of you that will be offended by my crass display of humor.
Probably because it is hard to fathom a state would elect this woman as the Governor. She is way over her head IMHO and answers sound dumb in the press conference. She is now being talked over by people around her. She has no business being the Governor IMHO.
If some Freepers work for corporations that "match" donations , Please donate that way. Your donations is worth 2xs as much!
It's not partisan; it's truthful.
and has to provide great laughs for the other side
I didn't realize there was an "other side" in a disaster.
Trying to prepare a city for a Category 5 hurricane is somewhat akin to fortifying the DFW Metroplex against an F-5 tornado.
You simply can't prevent widespread disaster in the face of that.
My sentiments...if they're taking water, or food, sobeit.
Anything else, they're criminals.
The problem now is how to get 80,000 people out, only way to move 80,000 people is boats, lots and lots of boats. Coast Guard/Navy should organize a Dunkirt operation of the poor city of New Orleans.
Ya think?
Nice to think that they will be partying come Fat Tuesday but this is going to be a massive task.

I knew this was wrong because the phone was perfect when I did a factory reset to remove all my personal info off the phone. I declined their offer and asked for it to be returned. They mailed back my phone only and kept my original box, charger, USB cord, earphones, protective case, and user manuals. I immediately emailed them back letting them know it was unacceptable to keep the rest of my items and to return them promptly. An automated message came back letting me know they will contact me within 24 hours. They never did, so I sent another email (since they have no phone number) this time I attached two photos of my HTC HD2 powered on a clearly accepting a charge. It has been six days since I first contacted them and they ignore my requests.

L.B.'s Dream Factory
I read a bit of trivia recently about Lady in the Lake that cleared up a mystery for me--why Bob addressed the camera at the start and the finish of the film and faded with a kiss, especially since he was such an admirer of John Ford, who disliked kiss and fades. L. B. Mayer made him add the prologue and epilogue because preview audiences were confused and also mad that they saw so little of Bob on screen. They also wanted to see him kiss Audrey Totter, thus he gave in and added the conventional ending. He and Audrey thought the kiss was so corny that when they shot the scene, they couldn't stop giggling, chalking up numerous retakes.
At another point during production Bob and L. B. Mayer were in the projection room watching rushes of Lady in the Lake when a close-up of Audrey came on. Suddenly Mayer sat up and jabbed Bob in the ribs and said "Why does her hair look like that?" Bob explained that in the previous scene, which hadn't been shot yet, she's awakened in the middle of the night, to which Mayer replied, "I don't care if she's coming out of the toilet, her hair can't look like that. A Metro star must look her best, even asleep.''

You're making it seem like the guy puts up 100 yards a season and makes $12million/year. The $7million IS a lot, but cutting him would only save us $2million!!! Stupid stupid decision to cut him. G-man should've just asked him nicely to take a pay cut, and explained the situation, and I bet you anything Smitty would've helped out or at least restructured. He's team first, not me first.

Vertical video essay that explores the meaning of social, physical and political borders.
Feel free to email me to view a preview of the video.
Puck Verkade lives and works in
The Hague, The Netherlands.
Please request to view full length videos.
Contact: email@example.com
Puck Verkade's (1987, The Hague, Netherlands) artistic practice is marked by the exploration of how human beings give meaning to life. Using an investigative documentary method, she questions matters of purpose and their ambiguous nature. She is drawn to subjects that expose the human psychological condition, the way we construct our identity through belief systems, and the individual's position within society. After receiving her BFA from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2011), Verkade's work has been shown at various institutions, for instance at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and Showroom MAMA, Rotterdam. She recently completed residencies in Thailand and Iceland and will start her MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, London. In 2017 she will have a solo exhibition at Dürst Britt & Mayhew, The Hague.
Parallel to her artistic practice Puck founded Wander, an artist-in-residence organization in The Hague that seeks to explore cross-disciplinary collaboration and stimulates artistic research. (2012-2014)

Solitary Company is a portrait of a remote island off the north coast of Iceland, the first episode of a triptych about the micro-community of Hrisey, during the darkest months in winter when all is covered in snow and silence. During a month-long residency on Hrisey, I conducted interviews with three generations of local people about their personal connection with the island, the effect of living in such a small community off the mainland, and their relationship to silence. The premiere of Solitary Company was screened during video art fair LOOP in Barcelona, June 2015
Read more on Solitary Company in the essay Land Of The Enlightened by Alix De Massiac, 2016
Taking my mothers' death as a point of departure, Losing Presence shows an exploration of the concepts of presence, absence and transcendence. By using my own videomaterial, mainly shot in the buddhistic Thailand, and combining it with found footage of Western popular culture, philosophy and anthroposophy, it becomes a video-collage that stimulates to associate freely on the journey from the material to the immaterial. The video shows references to theories of reincarnation but also considers matters of our current virtual existence. Losing Presence is captured through a live-edit on my computer screen while composing a video-collage of moving images, soundbites and subtitles. Instead of performing in front of the camera, I use the mouse-cursor to perform my manipulation live on screen.
In Persona, my father and I join a spiritual retreat as a means to find peace with our so-called inner self. The video reflects critically but humorously on the contemporary trend of 'finding your true self' and questions if this pursuit is nothing but a social roleplay or a naive dream. Persona is a 2 channel installation projected on free floating screens. The left screen shows my fathers' perspective, while the right screen shows mine. Both my father and I carry a camera to record our experiences and conduct interviews with each other.
Any Day Now is a multiple screen documentary based on my visit to the Watchmen of the Night, a christian community who believe that The Netherlands soon will be hit by a tsunami, an indication of the long awaited apocalypse. One of the members received a divine prophecy telling them to spread the word, make shelter and conserve foods. They live on a huge piece of land, above sealevel, aim to be self-reliant and grow their own resources. I brought my video camera, put up my tent in their backyard and lived with them for two weeks. The video installation shows our conversations, the confrontation of our different views on life and reflects on the search for truth and existence. Turning the camera to myself functions as a narrating method when revealing doubts that arise about my own truth. The three screens show different perspectives, both visually and conceptually, which also demands an active attitude from the audience.
Multiverse is based on my participation and infiltration in a Dutch TV-talentshow for artists. The videowork consists of an assemblage of TV-episodes made by the television crew, scenes shot by my father and hidden camera footage. It shows the situation behind the scenes, while I'm trying to infiltrate the television industry and question it's grip on the audience by becoming part of it. By conducting interviews with the tv-crew, the director, myself as a participant and adding replies of the audience, the video creates a multiperspective on the situation blurring fact and fiction. The video is projected on a free floating screen with extreme panoramic dimensions to create a sense of voyeurism.
An ego-document on distant love, showing intimate scenes of a couple situated in Berlin. A female voiceover adds a fictional storyline, as we follow the two characters of whom we never see their faces. Manipulation in editing & free association cause fiction and reality to overlap.

"sargentjeff's Ravenna Page" Ravenna by sargentjeff
Ravenna Travel Guide: 410 reviews and 1,247 photos
This is a great place to go to the beach if you like people watching. Party, party, party in the summer months. Life truly is the beach in this place.
but, it includes some great frescos and the tomb of Dante.
Two of my brothers in-law live and work here.
The district of Ravenna lies in the north east of Italy, some 80 km. from Bologna, regional capital of Emilia-Romagna.
The Guglielmo Marconi international airport at Bologna is some 90 km. from Ravenna. From the airport you can get to Ravenna by car (all motorway) or by train, a journey which takes between 1 and 2 hours. Other airports, including Forl� (Giacomo Ridolfi) some 30 km. from Ravenna, and Rimini (Miramare), 60 km. to the south, are less than an hour's drive away. The major airports in Milan (Linate and Malpensa) are abuot 4 hours down the motorway, while Rome airport (Leonardo da Vinci) can be reached in 5 hours and Venice (Marco Polo) in about 2 hours).
The quickest way to get to the district of Ravenna is by car. Three motorways lead down from the north: the A21 Turin-Piacenza motorway and the A22 Brennero motorway. The latter two feed into the A1 motorway at Piacenza and Modena; the A1 joins the A14 "Adriatica" motorway at Bologna and will take you right to the Ravenna tool-station, or to Faenza and Cesena exits (if you are heading for Cervia Milano Marittima).

Strong numbers for 'Big Love,' 'Secret Life' and 'Archer'
An assortment of cable series had strong launches over the week.
On HBO, the fourth season premiere of "Big Love" drew 1.7 million viewers, up from 1.2 million viewers for the third season premiere.
This numbers paled in comparison to the 4.5 million viewers who tuned in for the return of ABC's "Secret Life of the American Teenage," the show's second biggest audience to date. "Secret Life" helped "Make It or Break It" to a series-high 2.7 million viewers in its midseason return, its largest audience.
FX's "Archer" premiered on Thursday (Jan. 14) to an audience of 1.8 million viewers today. The animated comedy's delivery among adults 18-34 -- 786,000 -- was FX's best ever for a comedy series premiere. An encore of the fall's "Archer" pilot drew 1.4 million, airing after the premiere.
On the downside, FX's return of "Nip/Tuck," the first episode of the show's finale run, drew only 1.7 million viewers.

Large TV sets are turning into a growing danger for small children, especially those that are not secured properly.
A Florida family learned the tragic way, when their four-year-old daughter was killed when their TV set fell off the stand.
A recent article in the Clinical Pediatricians Journal says that in 2007, nearly 17,000 children were rushed to the hospital when heavy furniture fell on them.
Experts say it's 'tricky' to install a big TV properly on your own, and recommend professional installation as the best option.
They say if you do insist on installing your TV on your own; make sure you anchor it in to a stud in the wall, and if you use a TV stand, make absolutely sure it cannot tip over.

Guillermo Jones Promises Blood When Facing Lebedev
MOSCOW, Russia—The long-awaited unification bout between World Boxing Association cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev (25-1, 19 KOs), from Chekhov, Russia, and WBA cruiserweight champion in recess Guillermo "El Felino" Jones (38-3-2, 30 KOs), from Colon, Panama, will take place on May 17 at Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia.
Jones' promoter Don King is thrilled to have his fighter appearing in Moscow with co-promoters Andrey Ryabinsky and Vlad Hrunov.
"My Russian co-promoters named the fight, 'The One Will Stand,' and it will be from Russia with love," King said. "This is a gigantic promotion between Russia and Panama and I want to thank Andrey Ryabinsky for making this possible.
"The Panamanian people and their President Ricardo Martinelli will be watching with great interest to see Guillermo return home with a unified world title."
Hrunov presented Lebedev's two most recent matches in Crocus City Hall and looks forward to hosting the upcoming event there on May 17.
"Crocus City Hall is like the Madison Square Garden of Russia," Hrunov said. "This is a first class venue that opened just three years ago. It's beautiful and run professionally. It has 7,000 seats and we expect them all to be filled as demand has been strong since tickets went on sale in late February."
Lebedev is thrilled to be defending his title in his native country and pointed out he comes from the city named after the writer Anton Chekhov.
"I come from Chekhov and strong people come from my city," Lebedev said. "I'm glad Don, Andrey and Vlad have named the fight, 'The One Will Stand,' as I plan on being the last man standing at the end of the fight."
Lebedev is trained by fellow Russian and former undisputed junior welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu.
Jones is anxious to get back into the ring and has predicted that he will dispatch Lebedev in five rounds or less.
"I tell the Russian fans who are ringside to be careful because there will be blood," Jones said. "I am the tiger but I don't speak Russian. No translator will be needed as my hands will speak for me."

When the agents (one in training and the other who has been with the company for 5+ years) came to the house and spoke to my husband and myself, they took all our information and completed the paperwork. I specifically asked when they told me the monthly premium if dental and vision were included. I was told that it was. I was also told the premium could change once we were rated.
Well, it did. It increased 65% because my daughter has seasonal asthma and 50% because of my height/weight proportion. My husband told them he smoked and they even asked how many packs per day yet his portion was not increased. This increased my premium to $361 per month. Because I thought that it included everything I had with my former insurance through my employer, it was acceptable.
This policy became effective 8/24/08 because I thought my current insurance expired on 8/30/08 but two weeks ago, I received notice from my former employer that my policy expires on 9/30/08. I have already paid two monthly premiums to MEGA and have not used the insurance at all. I called today just to make sure everything was in place since I would actually need the coverage starting tomorrow only to find out that we have a $10,000 PER PERSON deductible and instead of it paying 90/10 like we were told, it only pays 80%.
Now, I'm stuck because I have no more money to get another policy and have a very limited income since I am doing an unpaid practicum. I feel betrayed and that we were taken advantage of. This has really put me into a financial bind right now and I'm looking at canceling the policy with no possible health coverage until I finish this practicum in March and am eligable for coverage through my internship site. I'm 46 and my husband will be 47 next month so this is not something that I need right now.
BEWARE of MEGA LIFE AND HEALTH!! I thought I was being proactive by checking them out on the internet before I actually agreed to meet with them in person. I am just outraged that NASE would endorse such a company!!!

As for what happened, this part was not only shipped but it was also recieved by Jesse. So as for the reason for this ad I dont really know. But if you have any sprintcar parts for sale be aware of Jesse Wagler he is trying to build a sprintcar, and has no money to do it with. Furthermore he believes he should ot have to pay for any kind of shipping to gets his parts. So if you are considering doing any business with Jesse Wagler I would really reconsider anything potential deals that you are making. Again Jesse himself has confirmed recieving the parts that were baught by him. SO BE VERY AWARE AND VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON.
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?

Mayweather on PED Testing, Says Pacquiao Finally Learned
By Ryan Burton
Eight time world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) recently announced that he will be facing Robert Guerrero on May 4th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. During a recent interview with BoxingScene.com and other media outlets, Mayweather spoke about random drug testing in boxing, a movement that he has helped spearhead.
Several years ago, Mayweather and career rival Manny Pacquiao were very close to finalizing a deal to fight each other. The deal fell apart because Pacquiao refused to agree to Mayweather's demand for both fighters to undergo several weeks of random Olympic-style drug testing.
Even before Pacquiao was knocked out in six rounds by Juan Manuel Marquez last December, members of the Filipino boxer's team were questioned whether Marquez's newfound muscular physique was "natural." Further questions were raised when Marquez appeared to be stronger than Pacquiao in their fourth meeting, and to close the show he knocked Pacquiao out cold with a single punch.
If there was a random drug testing protocol involved, says Mayweather, there wouldn't be any doubts.
"I don't think people are really giving me the credit that I am due. I am the pioneer that is in sports that said that we need to take random blood and urine testing. Once Pacquiao got knocked out, after the fight, from what I heard, I don't really know, he was talking about that Marquez was on something. I guess things happened and you live and you learn," Mayweather stated.
Mayweather was also asked if a fight against Pacquiao is still feasible after the Filipino suffered a brutal knockout, but he isn't sure how Pacquiao will return after suffering such a setback.
"You know he took a crucial knockout. He took a crucial knockout," Mayweather said and also pointed out that one fight won't make or break his legacy in the sport. "Like I've said before, Floyd Mayweather is not scared of nobody. You don't just wake up overnight and become pound for pound. Sometimes people want to talk about my legacy. My legacy is not based on one fight. If it was then I wouldn't have needed to fight 43 fights. I could have just fought one fight and they could have put me in the Hall of Fame as the best fighter who ever lived. The thing is this, all I want is to fight on an even playing field. I am not picking on one opponent. I don't just want to clean up boxing, I want to clean up all sports," he continued.

Recent Tamarron reviews
"Our family LOVED staying in this Tamarron condo. It was perfect for our family of four but would easily hold more comfortably. The setting is just perfect as it is nestled right at the edge of the national forest. Look out the back and all you see is the beautiful mountainous landscape. The accommodations in the condo were great! Plenty of room and included everything we needed for a week's stay. We all enjoyed the hot tub and indoor/outdoor pool as well which overlooked the trees and mountains. A short ten minute drive got us to the slopes at Purgatory, which had a nice family atmosphere. Only ten minutes in the other direction to the town of Durango which we enjoyed walking around and dining at the local eateries. One day we took a beautiful drive down to the old mining town, Silverton, and enjoyed doing some sightseeing there. This was a great winter ski vacation for our family, but we really want to come back and stay in the summer! There are so many local activities such as the train ride, mining tours, hikes, and ziplining that we are dying to get back and try. We highly recommend this condo! We felt like it was home to us while we were there and would love to return!"Guest: Marcie Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: March 29, 2016View listing

"First time family vacation to Durango and surrounding area. Could not have picked a better place to stay! 20 min. from the train station in Durango. About an hour to Mesa Verde and only 10 min. to the Durango Mountain Resort. It was so nice to return to the condo at the end of the day and have a clean, quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the evening. Han (the owner) responded to every email and question that I had. He made it so easy and convenient to plan our vacation. I plan on returning to the area in the future and would definitely recommend to anyone staying here !!! Thanks again Han !"Guest: Brian J.

"We stayed for 3 nights in early August and it seemed like we had the place to ourselves. The private balcony with great views, watching the hummingbirds, enjoying the sunrises, and just relaxing. The condo is as described, plenty of room for 2 people, well stocked for cooking if you want or just a short drive to Durango. Check in was simple and while we did not use the shared facilities they looked in good condition. We plan on returning when we visit the area again."Guest: Gary J.

GeForce GTX 285 review | 3-way SLI -
VGA performance: Mass Effect (DX9)
Gaming: Mass Effect
Controversial, and definitely one of the bigger titles of 2008. Mass Effect from BioWare. Originally released for the XBOX 360 it unveiled a vast, beautiful galaxy populated by diverse, fascinating alien races. Players stepped onto this stage as Commander Shepard, a hero at the vanguard of humanity's ascension in the arena of galactic politics, and thus began an epic story bolstered by engaging characters and rich, branching dialogue.
Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the universe.
I started playing this game last year when released, it's rare for me... but I spent all my free time on it and finished the game. What a great title Mass Effect is. The game however does not support AA. Despite that, it does show really awesome graphics, complex facial animations and applies a noise filter just to get you that really nice cinematic feeling. Overall one of the better games I've played in 2008. Definitely pick it up.
Mass Effect Settings:
- Noise Filter on
- Textures: Extreme high
- Filter: Anisotropic
- Everything maxed out
Again we see leading performance. 2560x1600 manages to average out at ~67 frames per second, pretty nice.
When we compare the brand among each other surprisingly enough we see the best results in the lowest measured resolution.
Multi-GPU performance, it's getting a little repetitive, but that fact alone shows how steady Multi-GPU gaming seems to be with the NVIDIA products. We had no issues whatsoever.

I think developers have already rejected this technology as they are not user friendly...
I think developers have already rejected this technology as they are not user friendly...
Yes, we've discussed and rejected that idea because:
1) it is not accessible
2) accessibility is in the WordPress mission statement
3) making it accessible defeats its purpose
Ah, good point. Thanks. I still like the idea, though. Content-based spam filtering has some catching up to do, and until that is a feasible approach I suppose that front-end measures should be considered. Perhaps image tokens can still be used with user registration as a fail-safe that also supports disabled users. At least, this could be an option for the site administrator if the feature is made available?
Where can I find WordPress' mission statement where this is mentioned so I can keep up with things?
I suggested something similar in another thread, but it could apply in this situation, too:
How about a three-prong approach?
1) If user is registered, comments are posted immediately.
2) If user is not registered, he or she has the option to enter in text from an image token, and then have the comment posted instantly.
3) If user is not registered and does not wish to or is unable to enter in the text from the image token, then his or her comment will be queued for review.
In this way, EVERYONE is accommodated, but spam is still (from what I can tell) thwarted from appearing on one's blog.
Your thoughts?
Thats about the best system i have heard of ! Implementation ?

Doing the right thing
I write to you today to say thanks for bringing to public light Montpelier resident Gwen Hallsmiths thoughtful and visionary work on the Vermont public bank issue, and the disturbing efforts of a few Montpelier city officials to try to shut down her voice behind the scenes.
We live in interesting times, and what we most need is courage, clarity of vision and compassion, even when we may disagree. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are under siege across the United States and globally it is good to see a Vermont newspaper like the venerable Times Argus stand up and do the right thing.
Heres to free speech, freedom of the press and a public bank for the once and future republic of Vermont.

Fences provides all sorts of great opportunities in the classroom. For one, it's immediately accessible. The play's dialogue is colloquial and its characters quite approachable. The conflicts in the play – father versus son, the betrayed woman – are ones that students will immediately recognize and understand.
The play is also a great opportunity to discuss the conventions of tragedy, without the students having to immediately take on the challenge of sifting through Shakespeare or the Greeks. Troy's whopping case of hamartia could prove to be a great example to use when you take on classical works.

The biggest clue that this is BS is that when you call in for information about the insurance, they get some identifying info, then tell you that you have to sign up on that call and will not be offered coverage if you choose to call back. It is a pressure sales technique. Their response to any misgivings is that you have 7 days to review it once you get the coverage in the mail.
Before they accept you, some guy comes on the phone and says sometimes people have something wrong with their vehicle so get coverage and use it immediately, and that they dont like that. It felt a little threatening, but theyd probably just deny coverage anyway. After getting the package in the mail, and reading everything, it seems like a great protection plan. That is, until you have to get repairs on your vehicle.
Mine was $3000, paid over 3 years, for 5 years of coverage. I think they make plenty of money from people that sign up and pay in until they need coverage and find they wont cover anything. They made three months payments off me. Just save your money up (I know that can be hard, but try) and build your savings account thatll be a much better investment

Lubbock, TX-- To college basketball now and ordinarily when the coach a coach at Texas Tech University gets fired, well it's not necessarily news for our area.
