We've all heard the normal tips like properly inflating tires, making sure your car is tuned up, and slowing down. But how about making sure your gas cap is tight? That prevents evaporation. Parking in the shade can do the same thing. How about lightening the load? Remove any heavy objects you don't need that day. Gently accelerating or braking can also help.
"There's one reference from the (U.S.) Department of Energy that each five miles per hour over 60 miles per hour can result in an additional 24 cents a gallon in gasoline used," said AAA Idaho Public and Governmental Affairs head Dave Carson. "If you think in terms each time you step on the gas pedal it can have an impact on when you fill up."
AAA also has a mobile app. that can compare gas prices at over 100,000 gas stations nationwide. It uses GPS technology to find stations near you.

What advice would you give someone starting this project? Use colors and yarn textures to reflect the personality of the person you're making this for. If it's a baby gift, use lovely baby pastels. If it's for a guy, use more earthy, tweedy tones. A teen would like something funkier, so maybe use a furry yarn for the heart. Whatever you decide to do, have FUN!!

Joseph Palermo: Wall Street banks should be pouring money into Obama's reelection since he's been so good to them, and the neocons should be rejoicing in his establishing precedent for more unchecked executive power.
There You Go Again, Mr. Romney
Berry Craig: He lies about unions. He lies about legislation that helps workers organize and he lies about the Obama administration's labor policies.
Trim the Fringe and There's No GOP Left
Berry Craig: The Republican food fight for the presidential nomination has proved "moderate" is as dirty a word as "liberal" in the tea party-tilting GOP.
Jerry Betrays Cesar, UFW, and His Own Legacy
Randy Shaw: Brown's alignment with wealthy growers against indigent workers picking crops in the fields surely has Chavez turning over in his grave, and shows that the Governor views the UFW as just another group he is willing to betray.
Republicans Keep Flunking on Union Issues, but Trumka Puts Democrats on Notice, Too
Berry Craig: Many union members were deeply disappointed when Congress failed to do more to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Unions wanted more health care reform than Congress delivered, too.
The Cure for Plutocracy: Strike!
David Swanson: How do you get politicians living off legalized bribery to criminalize bribery? How do you persuade the corporate media to report on the interests of flesh-and-blood, non-corporate people?
Filibuster Reform Dies a Quiet Death
Paul Hogarth: By a slim vote of 46-49 on Thursday, the U.S. Senate defeated a proposal by Jeff Merkley (D-OR) to actually require filibusters (as opposed to mere filibuster threats) before a 60-vote threshold is needed to end debate.
Right To Work Laws Bad For Everybody, Including the Boss
Berry Craig: A big reason the South's white political and business elite hated and feared unions was that in a union everybody is equal. Thus, they played the race card to divide white and African American workers and keep unions at bay.
The Winter of Labor's Discontent
Berry Craig: But it's getting harder for me to defend Obama when my union brothers and sisters — who also voted and worked for him — say he's all but surrendered to the GOP. I'm disappointed in the president. They're downright mad.
When the Chips are Down, Democrats Defend Blue Dogs
Paul Hogarth: What good is defending a Democrat, who will simply give bi-partisan "cover" to right-wing forces of obstruction who want Obama to fail.
The Enthusiasm Gap and You
Robert Reich: Average Americans are hurting. But their pain isn't coming from government. It's coming from an economy whose benefits are concentrating ever more at the top, whose giant corporations are controlling ever more of our democratic process, and whose costs and risks are becoming ever more burdensome for the middle class and the poor
SEIU-UNITE HERE Settlement Reached
Randy Shaw: After an 18-month battle that began with SEIU believing it could affect a hostile takeover of its once close union ally, the two unions reached a settlement yesterday almost entirely on UNITE HERE's terms.
A Plea for the Employee Free Choice Act
lthough the odds for the passage of EFCA seem long today despite a Democratic majority in Congress and a Democratic president, the importance of EFCA should not be forgotten. In mid-2009, many of America's labor historians signed a statement that strongly endorsed the act. This was a good beginning. Going forward, all of us who are committed to social justice should do what we can to support passage of EFCA in the immediate future.

Cut the Bull – Talking to Tweens About Money ManagementAnna Newell Jones
For elementary-aged children, money lessons are something that should not be avoided. While young children do not need to understand all of the goings-on concerning household income, they can and should learn age-appropriate lessons that will carry through adulthood if properly reinforced.
The tween age group, those who are not yet teens but still tend to spend a lot of money due to the large amounts of marketing being thrown their way these days, can learn many things about money to help prepare them for their years ahead. If parents are not teaching kids how to be responsible with their money, no one else is really doing that job for them. High schools and even colleges do not often cover the basic financial foundation lessons people need to know for the rest of their lives. Starting while kids are still young and impressionable can help instill habits that will help them manage their money more effectively in adulthood.
Parents also need to stay on top of their own financial management as kids learn a lot from watching their parents. By being more responsible with your own money and teaching kids the basic fundamentals of managing cash, you can help set the stage for a more financially stable future for your kids.
Kid-Approved Financial Lessons 1 of 5
Every parent will have their own ideas about what kids should know concerning money but there are a few basic starting points to consider if the money subject has not yet come to pass in your household.

Earning Your Keep 2 of 5
There are some parents that do not believe in paying children for their basic family responsibilities. While it is up to individual families to make this decision, it can be noted that allowing children to earn money for the work they do can prepare them for the future. In order to earn a living later in life, they will need to work responsibly and consistently. While basic chores may not be wage-worthy, there are a number of other odd jobs kids can do around the house to earn a few bucks.

Encourage an Entrepreneurial Spirit 3 of 5
Listen closely when you hear a child talk about an interest in a certain topic or field and get creative together to find ways to harness that interest and encourage a child's entrepreneurial spirit as a way to earn some spending cash.
Image Credit: amy.gizienski
Shopping Analysis 4 of 5
Taking kids to the mall and buying them whatever they want is not likely going to be a good lesson in financial management. Parents can bring their child on shopping trips and spend some time teaching them how to compare prices, find a deal, and stay within a budget. These are all good lessons to be learned at an early age especially when many kids that age still believe money comes freely out of machines on the wall.
Image Credit: _Dinkel_
Bank on It 5 of 5
Setting a child up with their own personal savings account can be a big deal. Seeing their name on the deposit slips and allowing a child to make the bank transactions on their own is a great way to reinforce the importance of saving. Many banks cater to kids, offering lollipops and treating kids like grownups. Parents should stress the importance of adding money to the account on a regular basis. Older kids can do the math themselves to find out how much they need to put away in savings from their birthday money or allowance. The general adult rule of thumb is 10% but kids that do not have expenses should be putting away more while still leaving a few bucks for their own discretionary spending.

Around the world today, hundreds of thousands of people pass through busy airport terminals every year. These travelers all expect to deposit and retrieve luggage quickly, easily and securely.
Maintain Baggage Conveyors
If your airport serves the public, you'll want to invest in maintaining your baggage conveyor equipment in good working order. Breakdowns in this critical system disrupt traffic through terminals.
Mechanical problems involving baggage conveyors cause disproportionate backlogs, inconvenience, complaints and expense. Providing regular inspections and maintenance to help keep baggage conveyor systems in excellent condition conserves operating expenses over the long term.
A Vitally Important Service
For example, centrally located Unified Supply of Grapevine, Texas works closely with Nationwide Conveyor Specialists to provide mechanical, logistical and engineering solutions for baggage handling systems. Just consider a few of the advantages that airport managers often seek in baggage conveyor maintenance firms:
- Fast, reliable service for all types of baggage conveyors;
- A member in good standing of the of the IABSC;
- The ability to provide carousel rebuilds;
- Responsible troubleshooting by skilled professionals;
- The capability to offer customized solutions to baggage handling system operations;
- A nationwide and international service area.
Highly Specialized On-Demand Services
Locating an expert to repair a highly specialized item of airport equipment rapidly after a breakdown occurs sometimes challenges managers. By retaining a firm to offer regular maintenance and on-demand assistance, your enterprise will help ensure that your baggage handling system operates more efficiently.
Baggage conveyor maintenance companies offer vital support services to airports of all sizes that require baggage conveyor maintenance. They assist airports from Alaska to the Caribbean in designing and maintain smoothly working carousels and conveyor systems for the convenience of travelers. This specialized type of work enables airport managers to allocate terminal resources more effectively. Regular baggage conveyor system inspections and servicing help keep passenger traffic flowing through the facility at predictable rates.
Assisting Small Airport Growth
Today, even smaller airports with limited baggage handling systems benefit from routine baggage conveyor maintenance. Airlines value facilities which offer outstanding passenger service. An airport that expects growth in the future must plan well in advance for baggage conveyor system expansion.
The ability to rebuild and refurbish a conveyor system greatly assists airport budgeting in some situations. Most baggage conveyor maintenance firms will work closely with terminal management companies to help them meet projected needs and achieve targets on schedule. These companies can furnish the services of experienced baggage conveyor specialists. They offer an excellent resource for locating parts and specialized conveyor supplies.
The Future
To explore all the ways that baggage conveyor maintenance firms can assist your airport in furnishing smoothly running baggage conveyors, call to speak with a firm representative in detail. Companies interested in obtaining new business will gladly discuss their services with airport managers.

Scientists Discover What Causes Soil Acidification
Chinese and Australian scientists have made important progress in discovering the causes of soil acidification – a discovery which could help in turning back the clock on degraded croplands.
Scientists analyzed a substantial 3600 kilometer transect of land in China, stretching from the state's subarctic north to its central deserts. The work given a fresh improvement that describes the mechanisms included in lands becoming acidified.
Dr Nelson said ground degradation is a crucial issue facing mankind, especially in areas of the world including the tropics where land use pressure is rising as well as the climate is changing. "We are now able to quantify the result of, for example, shutting down a factory that leads to the creation of acid rain," he said.
Dr. Nelson said the research found distinct motorists of soil acidification processes across northern China in various kinds of soil.
"With 2015 designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Lands, it is an essential year for soil scientists all over the world. We should encourage greater recognition of the significance of soils and soil health as well as the purpose earth science has to play in addressing national and international challenges."
In the circumstance of the International Year of Lands, on HPenny Wensley said: "We need to support greater co-operation and exchanges between soil scientists, to hasten improvement in research and reach results which will deliver practical advantages to farmers and land managers, working in varied surroundings.
"This research project, drawing on the common expertise of soil scientists from Australia's James Cook University as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is an exciting illustration of what could be accomplished through greater cooperation," she said.
Acidification is among the key land degradation problems world-wide, hastened by water leaching through the ground. It's linked mainly to the overuse of nitrogen, as well as climate. This not only affects wildlife but also pipes and drainage systems as well. You may need to hire a business such as Drainage Pros to take care of any damage caused from soil acidification.
The study was printed in the journal, Biogeosciences.

DETROIT, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The General Motors Foundation today unveiled a new float it is sponsoring during America's Thanksgiving Parade®, An 86 Year Tradition, on Thursday, Nov. 22. With a theme of "Education Fuels Tomorrow's Innovators," the float showcases the Foundation's commitment to investing in America's youth – the next generation of innovators.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121113/DE11879 )
"Our new float is a celebration of the GM Foundation's many educational partnerships and our commitment to encourage more students to pursue studies of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) - areas critical to the future success of our nation," said Selim Bingol, GM vice president, Global Communications and Public Policy and the new chairman of the GM Foundation.
The float, designed and built by The Parade Company, is also a celebration of education in Detroit, specifically the United Way "Network of Excellence," created by the GM Foundation's $27.1 million commitment to seven Detroit-area high schools and administered in conjunction with United Way for Southeastern Michigan. The goal of the effort is to raise graduation rates by 30 percent over five years while supporting the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
Representatives from the "Network of Excellence" high schools participated in the float unveiling, and members of the East Detroit Marching Band accompanied the float on its maiden journey along Atwater Street.
"This float is GM Foundation demonstrating its commitment to the youth and families of our community," said Michael J. Brennan, United Way for Southeastern Michigan president and CEO. "We are delighted by the forward-looking view of the work we are doing now to transform high schools throughout the tri-county region."
The float offers a futuristic scene with two students leaving high school and embarking on their futures. Arriving at a crossroads, the students find themselves presented with educational roads to take: Science Way, Math Lane, Engineering Road and Technology Drive. Each road provides examples of the opportunities that await them as STEM majors.
The float is 17 feet tall and 60 feet long. An animated robot controls the action on board and features a pneumatically powered head and mouth that move. The float also incorporates hydrogen and electric charging stations.
"We are delighted that the GM Foundation has chosen such an inspiring theme for their new float," said Tony Michaels, president and CEO, The Parade Company. "We are certain that parade goers will be entertained by both its theme and the intricate design."
The 86th America's Thanksgiving Parade®, one of the country's oldest and most-celebrated parades produced by The Parade Company, will step-off at Woodward Avenue and Mack on Thanksgiving Day and will end at Woodward Avenue and Congress in downtown Detroit. Congressman John Dingell and Debbie Dingell will serve as co-grand marshals for the two-hour parade.

Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers?

This review is from: Logitech T650 910-003057 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Touchpad
Pros: Small enough to leave on coffee table, big enough to gesture and control. Hooked up to HTPC in living room and it works great. Also uses the same dongle as the keyboard/mouse so it saves a USB port.
Cons: Minor issues on initial install and functionality, but it appears that a reboot of the system was needed despite it not calling for one.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MASSCOOL HS-MA103 Mini HDMI Amplifier Switch 3 in 1 out
Pros: Does what it is supposed to and no external power required.
Cons: IR sensor is remote mounted (PLUS) but you have to aim directly at it or you will not get any response. And when I say aim right at it, I mean if you are a few inches off, nada.
Other Thoughts: I'd buy again if in need.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: BELKIN E2D3500 Powerline AV500 Kit Up to 500Mbps
Pros: First time using this tech. and it's pretty awesome. Super simple to setup.
Cons: More costly then I would prefer, but that's me, not it.
Other Thoughts: Got this to run a PTZ dome camera far from house and wireless/running a load of cable not options. Maybe a hair of lag over powerline as opposed to directly to PC but its great for what I need.READ FULL REVIEW

Had my latest appointment last Thursday, but have been too busy to post until now. Not too much to say, blood pressure was good, I gained 8 lbs. this time (after loosing 2 at the last appointment). I also did the 1 hour glucose test, which they said they would call if I failed, so no news is good news. I was supposed to start going in every two weeks, but I asked if I could go one more stretch at 4 weeks and the midwife was ok with that as long as I called if I noticed anything starting that could indicate blood pressure issues or anything else of concern. My next appointment is Feb. 28 and I will have both an appointment and an U/S to check if my placenta has moved up (I had a marginal placenta previa at my 20 week u/s, so hopefully it has now scootched up)
My Latest Appointment
Sounds like a good appt! Hope the BP issues stay under control.. that wouldn't be any fun if something crept up in that 4-week stretch.
I don't blame you for not being anxious to start your two week appts. Glad things are going well!
Yay for a good appointment! So Im curious why are you waiting another 4 week stretch?
In a way the 2 week appointments will be annoying because my doctor's office is on the other side of the city from where I work. But I also kind of feel like I havent had time to connect with the baby much lately during the day, so Im hoping that it forces me to forget about work for a bit and concentrate on my little dude.
Yay for a good appt. I had previa in my first which went to low lying the week before but it still was not high enough to avoid a c-section.
I am going every week for appts and it is great to see her every week on an u/s but it is a total pain going there so much for such short and simple appts. He said he may give me a week off next week so we shall see

Yay for a good appt. I hope everything continues to go smoothly for you and that the placenta is going to play nice and move up!
I'm still on every month appointments as well. I asked about it last time and she said no, I'm still on every four weeks. I'm guessing this will be the last time though. I guess maybe because I'm not quite 30 weeks yet? I think they do it starting at about 30 weeks and then weekly at 35-36 weeks.
Anyway, I'm sure everything is fine! So you are waiting to have your placenta checked until next time? What can they do if it's not in the right place?
I wanted to go one more 4 week stretch because my job is really busy and its a pain to miss work and I've already missed several days due to various illnesses for DD1 this semester, plus I have to pay for parking every time I have an appointment, so unless she felt there was a need to see me in two weeks, I'd just as soon not go so soon-not that excited to be told how much more weight I've gained, lol!. If she felt their was any reason why I shouldn't go 4 weeks, I wouldn't have a problem to go sooner and I will call to go sooner if I have anything crop up that seems like it warrants attention.
For my placenta, I think it will likely have scootched up by now-I actually measured ok the first time the tech looked at my 20 week u/s but she looked again at the end of the scan and the measurement had changed to too close to the cervix-apparently small contractions in the uterus can affect the measurement. Worst case scenario would be that I would have to have a C-section if the placenta was over the cervix, but my midwife said that since mine is marginal, there is a possibility that even if it hasn't moved, I could still deliver vaginally as with the marginal previa, it is possible that when the baby's head engages, it acts as a tourniquet and prevents the bleeding that would be dangerous (hopefully am quoting her more or less accurately!).

Nice for the priceIt was close to Universal where we wanted to go. We stayed for 2 nights and the room was clean. They accepted pets at no additional charge (we brought our small dog). The price was cheap, for 2 days it was fine. The desk clerk at check in was friendly. Stay away from the people across from the front desk. They try to sell you reservations to tour a time share condo. They charge $10 and and tell you you can get a refund if you cancel. The manager of that operation was rude to me when I canceled and tried to make me feel like it was my fault for not keeping the reservation. He did give my money back after hasseling me. Not a nice way to start your day. UNiversal Islands of Adventure was great fun though!Rating:2
Worse Hotel ever!When you first check in they are nice but as soon as you are checked in they dont give a crap. You would call the front desk they were rude, and if you dont want your room cleaned one day they think you dont want your room cleaned your entire stay so we had to call to say we need room service. And the only reason we didnt want the room cleaned the first day is because we were still sleeping but the rest of the time we were out by 7 and didnt return until 5 or 6 and our room was not cleaned.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksThere are better hotels in the area...dont stay hereRating:1
bad service, not worth itI got here in mid June 2009 with my wife and two daughters for a five-day stay. As we entered the hotel, our first view was a person lying down on a sofa with his filthy shoes on top of the seats. This person turned out to be the reception desk guy and everything that happened after that just confirmed our first impression. Although announced in the description of the hotel, there was no wi-fi. The first day the sofa guy told us the connection was down because of a recent storm. When I asked again the second day, he just handed me a piece of paper with what he said was the internet service phone number and said "call them if you want to". Room cleanliness was below average and the breakfast area was even worse. Next time, I would try somewhere else.Rating:4
Would definitely returnHotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Within walking distance to Universal. Good hotel for the cost and location.Rating:4
A pleasant Stay in OrlandoI stayed there for 9 days with my wife and two children, the hotel is located in a central place on I-drive close to all attractions, the hotell serves a complimentary breakfast which was simple but nice to start your day. Internet access is free but some rooms have low signal so we changed the room to a one closer to an internet point and that solved the problem. The hotel management is friendly. Two minor things, there are no safe box in the room and those at the reception are always taken, the hotel is pet friendly so one night we had a barking dog in the room beside us and we were not able to sleep. Other that that I recommend the hotel as a good value for your money
Travelers tip on local attractionsWe got a discounted tocket for disney from the guy at the hotel, that was cheeper than disney but for universal we went with the online bookingRating:4
Nice Place Great LocationThis La Quinta is really a good value for someone staying in Orlando. It is located right on International Drive and is close to almost everything. The front desk people were extremely courteous, the room was clean and in good condition. The free breakfast is a nice touch (waffles, toast, bagels, cereal etc.). The pool was really nice and clean as well. It would have been nice to have a hot tub but I knew they didnt going in. The only things they fell behind on were: one day of our 5 night stay I actually wanted maid service and we left about 9 in the morning and got back around 3 and the only thing they had done was take our towels and I had to go ask for some more. The morning we were leaving a dog in a couple rooms down was barking like mad and the manager and maids just kind of stood around like they werent sure what to do about it. Otherwise it was a nice stay and I wouldnt hesitate to stay there again.
Travelers tip on local attractionsThey offer shuttle service to the major parks. Nice and easy to get there but their return times arent very convenient so it will cost you about $8 to get back to the hotel by cab. Avoid eating around International Dr. if at all possible cause they really do take advantage of the tourists.Rating:5
excellent stayI would do it again all over, i really enjoyed the Hotel and all of its staff, everyone was friendly and accomodating. The only problem i had was the shuttles from the amusement parks were not punctual. usually 15-30 minnute wait past the scheduled time.
Travelers tip on diningMythos at the islands of adventure was excellent.Rating:2
A Place to SleepThe room was not very clean. The noise from the icemaker in the hallway was disturbing while sleeping. A/C worked and bed was comfortable. Close to Wet n Wild, and Sea World, but quite a ride to the Disney parks. One return shuttle (free) had NO A/C.Rating:4
Good Hotel Great LocationHotel located at extratigic location , close to everything, close to trans. ,I-trolly,all attractions close by, no complains ,Ill be back buy I-trolly pass comes out cheaper for traveling along int. driveRating:3
Not ImpressedWe had some change stolen that had been left on the dresser and my daughter had her flip flops taken as well.Rating:4
great locationgreat location within 20 min from Disney parks. water park right across the street and plenty of things to do outside of disney. very clean and comfortable,friendly staff,free breakfast but get there early has very limited space. offers free shuttle to the parks but i do not recommend it.we got stranded and had to take a taxi back to the hotel but the hotel was kind enough to pay us back. i would recommend this hotel for anyone going to Disney.
Travelers tip on local attractionsgreat mini golf right next to hotel. can feed the fish, turtles, and LIVE ALIGATORS. ITS A LOT OF FUNRating:4
better than expectedfor a cheaper hotel in orlando (while also including two of my "musts" being free breakfast and free transportation to the parks) this hotel definatly exceeded my expectations. first we arrrived pretty late in the evening, our flight had been delayed over an hour, and the staff member at the desk was extremely friendly. upon checking us in, without being asked at all, he looked to see if he could give us a free upgrade. this was a wonderful surprise! next, having had free breakfast at other hotels, i had expected your usual pastries and juice. to my surprise they actually had not only make-it-yourself waffles but they even had a toaster for your toast or bagles! let me tell you, this is rare! after breakfast we then waited for the provided transportation to the surrounding parks. id definatly say that some of this could be a little more organized but on the whole they were on time and got us where we wanted to be. no complaints there. there is a dennys right outside the hotel which was conveniant for a slightly cheaper meal and, with our free upgrade, we were able to save our leftovers for later. you can also play mini golf with little gators just down the street! all together the staff was very friendly and the hotel was better than expected. wed definatly stay here again.
Travelers tip on local attractionstry to keep in mind what functions and happenings will be going on the time of your visit. being the end of the school year there, universal was infested with tons of kiddies on field trips! be warned!Rating:4
NiceGreat price, easy/cheap taxi to Universal, difficult shuttle service to Disney.Rating:4
economically a paradiseGreat hotel for the location and money. If you can, get a suite which will accomodate your desire for a large room.(super large!) Staff was extremely helpful and curtious. When the shuttle forgot to pick me up from Universal Studios, the motel offered to pay for a cab for me.
Travelers tip on local attractionsNo need to rent a car. Plenty of transportation options.Rating:4
Ok Hotel for Location and PriceThe hotel had free breakfast and was in a great location. The employees were very helpful with any questions we had. The bad part was the hotel smells musty. Our room smelled so musty we went to the nearest walgreens to get air freshners.Rating:4
Great location for great priceMy family and I stayed here for our trip to Seaworld/Disney. The hotel is located in a perfect location. There is so much to do in International Drive. The staff was very helpful with directions. I would definately stay here again. Free breakfast was a plus!
Travelers tipIf you plan to stay at this hotel you will not need a rental. There are so many free shuttles that pick you up at the hotel and take you to the parks.Rating:4
Pleasantly SurprisedThe hotel was actually very clean and the staff was friendly. My only negative at all with the hotel was the shuttle service, which takes forever to get to the parks. To shuttle over to Universal which was about a mile away, it took us 40 minutes because of all the stops in between. Thinking about shuttling over to Disney? Be prepared for an hour ride.
Travelers tip on nightlifeCitywalk is the place to go hands down. Downtown Disney was a ghost town and I went on a Friday night.Rating:5
Would stay at this LaQuinta againWe booked 8 nights, and were very happy with our room, very clean, comfortable beds. It was nice to have a refrig in the room too. The breakfast was always good, fruit/cereal/waffles/french toast/good coffee. The eating area was clean and inviting. The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful, and the ticket "booth" person was also helpful with tickets for Disney. The location of this hotel is so close to Universal and there are plenty of family resturants within walking distance to the hotel. Also there are stores to buy snacks and beverages across the street and on the corner.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksExpedia is a great way to make travel plans. Our air tickets/care/hotel package was everything we expected. We walked to Universal Theme Parks, there is a shuttle from the hotel, so if you miss it coming back, it is an easy walk-20 minutesRating:4
Travelers tip on recreational activitiesITS ON INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ,LOTS TO DORating:4
Good HotelWish to have more hot items in breakfast like eggs and farina or oatmeal cereal and hot milk.(Like a La Quinta Hotel I stay at Miami near airport).Rating:3
Serves the purposeThe hotel is run down, and smells funky. But thats how most of the hotels are down there in my experience. Its more like a motel quality. It is what it is, a cheap place to crash. Good location to Universal and Wet n Wild.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksBring your AAA card. You can use it to get discounts at Universal for tickets as well as food.Rating:5
Great hotel for the priceGreat hotel with a nice location. Dennys is across the parking lot so its convenient for breakfast. Nice pool too.Rating:5
Best Service EVER!We stayed here two years in a row because the service was incredible, the rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the location was close to everything. The night manager was very helpful and friendly. We will stay here the next time we are in Orlando!
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksFree shuttle to Disney & Universal stops right outside the hotel. The I-Ride trolley will take you right to Sea World for $1.25. The free breakfast has a variety of choices- fill up before you take off for the day. Dairy Queen has lots of inexpensive daily specials and is only about half a mile south.Rating:2
Look somewhere else!Newly engaged, my fiance and i wanted to spend time at Universal. The hotel was hard to find and get to because of all the road construction but also because there are 3 LaQunita Inns within one mile of each other. I went to one wrong one, and couldnt turn directly into the right one. Had to make a U-turn to get to it but didnt realize that until i was on my way in the wrong direction to the on-ramp of the turnpike!! When we finally got to the room, it smelled musty and moldy. The bathroom light wouldnt turn directly on... had to wait several minutes for the flourescent to kick on. There is no elevator so if you have a lot of luggage, youre screwed. And to top it off, their space for the continental breakfast is too confined. With that area being a big tourist area, they should accomodate with a larger dining area for the breakfast. Look elsewhere for a place to stay... ill never go back here.
Travelers tipCall ahead to find out if any road construction will be happening so you know what to expect.Rating:5

Dave's reply was that we won't see physics in volume (i.e. hundreds of thousands of cards being used for physics) and therefore a material revenue stream from physics for 9-12 months (i.e. another 3-4 quarters) as that's when there will be some substantial volume of ATI graphics cards being used for physics purposes.ATI GPU's that support physics acceleration are already in retail (i.e. the X1900 and X1600 series of cards for example). All that's required is a driver update that enables physics processing, and more importantly, game content which we expect around the holidays. We're very likely to see revenue from physics before 9-12 months, but as Dave said it won't be in volume, it will likely be early adopters.
quote: Pure Speculation: ATi is probably going to support Microsoft's DirectPhysics. Ageia is banking on their own PhysX engine. nVidia is supporting HavokFX. Havok 4.0 is apparently a winner with great use of dual/multi-core CPUs. ATi and DirectPhysics might be a winner.
Personally, I have this feeling that DirectPhysics will become the defacto standard and ATi is probably waiting to see how that works out. I just hope this doesn't inspire nVidia to deliver a rushed product to 'capitalize on the situation by launching a product that will serve no purpose'.
Then again, this whole PPU concept makes me mad. Isn't this what multi-core CPUs were gonna be used for (from a gaming perspective)? Are 10 times more flying crates/bouncing sparks really worth a dedicated processing unit? I seriously hope this whole concept fades away and developers decide to support multi-core CPUs.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

Cher coming to BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6
Pop superstar Cher is coming back to Milwaukee for the first time in 11 years. The so-called Goddess of Pop will perform at the BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6.
The 67-year-old Grammy, Oscar and Emmy winner is suiting up for the "Dressed to Kill" tour, her first time on the road since an alleged "farewell" tour from 2002 to 2005, which stopped at the Bradley Center twice, on July 13, 2002, and on Aug. 16, 2003. The Milwaukee dates alone grossed $1.6 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard, and the tour was one of the highest-grossing ever by a female solo artist, with north of 600 shows performed in front of nearly 6 million fans, grossing $394 million according to the Guiness Book of World Records. »Read Full Article(17)

Skip to comments.Is It Morally Acceptable To Hope Anyone Goes To Hell?
Posted on 12/06/2004 12:44:58 PM PST by Lindykim
"Is it morally and theologically acceptable to hope anyone goes to hell? ... One...need not be a conservative Christian to believe in some form of hell for the evil. All one need be is a rational believer in a just God. For if there is a just God, it is inconceivable that those who do evil and those who do good have identical fates. A just God must care about justice, and since there is little justice in this world, there has to be in the next. And belief in the next world is also not confined to Christianity. As the Encyclopedia Judaica ... (edited largely by non-religious Jews) notes in the first sentence under the heading 'Afterlife,' 'Judaism has always believed in an afterlife.' ... Much of humanity has been adversely affected by modern-day terror. The lives of millions -- virtually all Palestinians and Israelis, for example -- have been terribly affected by Arafat. And there are hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been destroyed or shattered by him. At the same time, other than a few sycophants enriched by some of the billions of dollars he embezzled from the Palestinians, no one has had a better life because Yasser Arafat lived. ... Yasser Arafat single-handedly made nihilistic acts of cruelty routine, even respectable. ... Thanks to him, the Palestinian name is identified among people of goodwill with barbarity just as the German name came to be associated with barbarity as a result of Hitler. ... Just as any decent human being would want good people to be rewarded in whatever existence there is after this life, they would want the cruelest of people to be punished. So, of course, I hope Yasser Arafat is in hell. ... If you think that is hard-hearted, consider the alternative, that one of the most corrupt and cruel human beings of the past half-century is resting in peace. Whoever isn't bothered by that is the one with the hard heart." --Dennis Prager
Matthew 7:1
Dunno and don't care but sure pray araRATfink is hell.
"If there's hell below, we're all gonna go."
Better to wish that they recognize their sins, repent, and make amends.
God doesn't desire that anyone perish. It would have been great to see Arafat repent of his sins, confess all of his evil deeds, and then ask his fellow Pali's to honor Israel as God's chosen people.
"Is It Morally Acceptable To Hope Anyone Goes To Hell?"
I'm not greedy-their just being dead is enough for me.
Yep, it's not acceptable to wish someone goes to Hell.
Jesus died for everyone's sins, even mine.
The only parable Jesus explained was about picking weeds . . . .
I hope so. Otherwise I'm in real trouble.
Even the 9/11 hijackers and so on?
For us Catholics, it's a bit easier to avoid hoping that specific individuals will go to Hell.
Believing in Purgatory, we figure someone could repent on their deathbed, endure a coupla million years of suffering in Purgatory, and still avoid eternal damnation.
Wasn't there a book yearts ago, by one of Bill Buickley's sisters, or relatives.."Will Mrs. (something) go to hell?" ?
You don't know the heart of the Father. He is not willing that any should perish. While we were ALL yet sinners, He died for us. You need to get in the scriptures and study what He says about such things.
I am not a Christian.
( So I guess that mrsnd I am hell-bound in your book! )
I don't know ANY Christians who actively hope as you are proposing.
All of the REAL Christians I know, ( and i have actually met a few) would instead hope and pray that a sinner changes his ways and repents.
Merry Christmas.
No. Mr. Prager is wrong.
Sister, Aloise Buckley Heath, "Will Mrs. Major Go to Hell?"
Every soul that Christ shed his Blood and was resurrected for shall be with Him in Heaven.
So, if he died for everyone's sins, all are going to Heaven, right?
You've stated our Christian teaching. I believe Prager, as an orthodox Jew, is stating the Jewish teaching. Perhaps I'm wrong and someone more knowledgeable will correct me?
John 3:16 .....Without Christ we are lost!
Lindy, Lindy, Lindy....you've got to start utilizing paragraphs....and even links that match your subject matter!
I am sure that everyone at sometime in there life has told someone to "Go to Hell" not a nice thing to say but I doubt that someone is really thinking they wish that person to be in a burning hell being tortured by hot flames...
Frankly, I doubt my opinion would make much difference to the ultimate decision.
Warren Sapp is gonna go to hell for his un-necessary blindside hit of Chad Clifton of the Packers two years ago.
Not me, dude.
Yep. They might darn a sinner to Heck, though.
No we're not. I know I'm going to heaven because of my faith in Jesus Christ. Many others here will also not go to hell. I pray you don't either.
IMO, It should be the Christian hope that all be saved.
But, I also believe that knowing someone will possibly go to hell by all outward appearances (and feeling that would be justice), is not the same as hoping someone would go to hell.
If I could give up my life of doing good and forfiet my soul to hell, I would do it in an instant if it meant saving even the enemieds of God. This is Christianity.
Yes...thank you..
And if they're Southern Christians, they'll also bless his heart!
It isn't me who is proposing this.
It's Dennis Prager who is.
No, it is not morally acceptable to hope someone goes to hell. I believe it was Christ who said to pray for our enemies, to love our enemies.
We should pray instead that the enemy has a change of heart, feels genuine remorse.
Congrats on your tag line - You will love it!
For the sake of one lost sheep, the Good Shepherd leaves the rest of His flock, goes out, and finds that one lost sheep.
And when the Shepherd returns with the lost sheep on His shoulders, there is great rejoicing.
If I am to become a more godly person, then it seems to me that it it is hardly godly to pray for (or to rejoice in) the lost of even one soul to hell.
As others have said on this thread, better to pray for the person's slavation by a merciful, gracious God -- who, by the way, showed his mercy and grace to me when He saved me.
I really don't hope anyone will go to hell. I'm very sorry for the people who choose hell over heaven.
Of course..he is because he doesn't see "it".... yet. I'm praying he does some day. My arguement to him would be.....if it is a contest to see who is worst by judging someone elses actions that would mean.... Stalin sinks, hitler stays since he didnt kill as many as stalin.... or Im sunk but my wife isn't cause she is nicer than me.... but Her aunt lucy is nicer than her..... and so on ... where is the line of demarcation? It is not our line to draw. It is God's and he drew it at the cross.
You're welcome. One of the great things about Catholic moral theology, as an intellectual system, is that it gives you a WORD for stuff :-).

Lyon will set a record of six consecutive league titles if it beats Rennes at home on Wednesday in a makeup Ligue 1 game. A win would leave OL with a 20-point lead over second-place Toulouse with six games to play.
OL would become the first team from one of the big five European leagues (England, Germany, Italy, France and Spain) to win six straight titles. Juventus (1931-35), Torino (1943-1949 -- no national league was held in Italy in seasons 1943-44 and 1944-45) and Real Madrid (1961-65 and 1986-90) all won five consecutive titles. Lyon would also be the first club to clinch the Ligue 1 title with six games to spare.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas isn't prepared to stop at six championships in a row.
"To win this sixth title will be another step forward and it will not be the end of the story," he said. "We are going to increase our budget to close the gap with the best clubs in Europe. We are ambitious."
