Supermodel Candice Swanepoel is pregnant, according to multiple reports.
The stunning Victoria's Secret Angel is expecting her first child with fiance Hermann Nicoli.
Beach season is right around the corner, and Victoria's Secret broadcast their 2016 Swim Special last night (March 9) complete with two pop star performers.
Thankfully the winter season is coming to an end, and Victoria's Secret has plenty of sexy selections for the Spring 2016 bloom.
The new Body By Victoria advertisements are chock full of fabulous females, including Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel, working their magic on the sun-soaked beach while "Jail Tree" by Jenny Wood plays in the background.
She knows how to work the camera thanks to years of posing practice, and Candice Swanepoel showed just enough skin in her most recent Instagram post.
The 27-year-old Victoria's Secret stunner gave her millions of followers a little thrill on Tuesday, flashing some serious sideboob along with an incredible 'come hither' expression.
Venturing into the realm of comic book geeks, Adriana Lima is one of several marvelous Marvel-ized models on the cover of Garage magazine's new Spring/Summer 2016 issue.
The beautiful Brazilian poser proves why she's one of the hottest in the land in her She-Hulk-styled shoot, though she's not the only bombshell to score a cover.
Kicking off the weekend a bit early, Candice Swanepoel grabbed her fellow Victoria's Secret Angel Karlie Kloss and hit up the Marvel cover release event with Garage Magazine in New York City last night (February 11).
Two hotties are better than one, and Juicy Couture has a pair of pretty posers fronting their Spring/Summer 2016 campaign.
Victoria's Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel and Behati Prinsloo teamed up with photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for the Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele-styled spread and it's clear that there was no shortage of on-camera chemistry.
Churning out yet another drool-worthy campaign, Candice Swanepoel is the star of the new ads for Max factor's Marilyn Monroe Color Elixir Lipstick collection.
In her newly-released images, the 27-year-old South African stunner pulls off the "Some Like It Hot" actress' look flawlessly, including a flirty platinum blonde coif and crimson pucker.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sunlake Resort Kissimmee
Sunlake Resort is Awesome
We stayed in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo. It was great for our family of five. The condo decorations were up to date and very tasteful. There were plenty of closet and storage space most of which we didn't need or use as there was plenty of dressers to put clothes in. The beds were very comfortable and a delight to sleep in after a long day at the Disney parks. The location was ideal. Plenty of shopping and eating establishments to choose from. Found that the grocery stores were very expensive. Traffic on 192 was heavy in the mornings when everyone was going to the parks. Make sure you plan for this. Other reviews indicated it was difficult to find the lock box to retrieve the rooms keys after hours. I would agree. We tried to find it at night. A helpful hint for everyone is that the lock box is on the side of the building facing 192. We booked the room online and really didn't have much interaction with 'real' people'. The few times that we did we were not overly impressed. Not once were we asked how our stay was going, it seemed like we were bothering them. Upon checkout we were not asked how our stay was. Only one complaint about the room. The washing machine and dryer are very noisy. Ours was near the room with the 2 single beds which we had our daughters in and they complained about the noise. Would we stay here again. ABSOLUTELY. For the price it was exceptional.
Loved Sunlakes!!
We stayed at sunlake Resort in early April /06. We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo, which was very nicely decorated. It has all the essential things you need as far as your kitchen needs...pots pans utensils plates glasses coffee maker toaster fridge microwave. But you have to bring all your food...coffee sugar anything you need like that. One thing you also may need more of is toilet paper. They supply a bit at first but if you are staying a while you mkay need more...this place is a do it yourself rental..they do not come back to check on anything or clean anything up until you leave, which is fine. It's like l;iving in your own home away from home. The condo is very big. We had 4 adults and 3 kids. There was plenty of room. If there are 2 or more families sharing the cost this is the way to go...and much nicer than some hotels. Plus with the kitchen you save $ on meals. We ate in alot of the time for breakfast and a few nights too. The pool was heated and clean, there is an exercise area and pool tables too. They are in the process of building some more units and I thought we would hear alot of noise, but we didn't! Each condo backs on to a pond area and it is set back in away from all the traffic and noise of I-92. It was easy to get around and not far at all from Disney! Lots of restaurants in the area and a few grocery stores too. We found that Walmart carried alot of Disney stuff for alot less.. Parks charge$$$ and you can get it at walmrt for less, and while you are there grab your groceries and keep the empty bags for your trash can.(they don't supply those either). We had a great time in a VERY Nice condo and I would definetly stay there again.
Loved Sunlake
We just returned from the Sunlake Condomiuniums in Kissimmee and the accommadations were magnificent. We stayed in a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom condo. It was clean, well kept and decor and furnishings were up to date. The locations is 10 minutes or less to Disney and close to many restaurants and shops. The resort does not offer many activities, but there are many within the vicinity. Plenty of space and towels, yet limited soap and toilet tissue which was a small price to pay based on such luxurious accommodations.
The location is a bit tricky to find, so it is recommended to follow directions as given by the resort.
I would stay at this resoet over and over again
Highly recommended place to stay in Orlando
We were extremely satisfied with our stay at Sunlake. We rented a 3 bedroom condo with 2 baths. We had 4 adults and 2 children and there was more than enough room for all of us. The condo was nicely decorated, spacious, clean, close to everywhere we wanted to visit and well stocked with anything we needed. The children especially enjoyed the heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. It was great to have a washer and dryer right in our condo, too. Although we did not use the facility, there was also a nice fitness room as well.
As others have commented on, the check in process left a little to be desired. I had called before arriving and was instructed to come immediately upon arriving in Orlando. They had told me that if the room was ready, they would allow us to check in early, and if not, they would take my cell phone number and would make it priority to have it be on the top of the list to have cleaned. We arrived at noon, and the room was not cleaned. Two hours later, we went back to check and it still had not been cleaned. We went back a second time at 3:30 and it still was not ready! So, we still were unable to check in until 4pm.
Overall, however, we were very happy with our decision to stay at SunLake Resort. We will definately stay there again on our next trip to Orlando.
Great, convenient, accommodations
This is a very nice place. Several have commented on difficulty finding it, but the directions we received were accurate and precise. Go south on I-4, turn west on 192 (Orlo Bronson) and go about four miles. You will turn left on the street between TGI Friday's and Cracker Barrel. The rental office, where you pick up the keys, is next to TGI Friday's (office called something like Orlando Magic Vacations).
The condo makes a nice first impression when you first walk in. The place is attractively decorated with quality furniture, two TV's, DVD/VCR players, etc. One nice touch is that they include the instruction manual for any of the electronic equipment (including the clock radios) in case you need to look something up.
We rented a condo with three bedrooms and two baths, and each room was quite spacious. The accommodations were spotlessly clean when we arrived. We're quite sensitive to smoke, and there wasn't a hint of stale smoky air anywhere.
The kitchen is fully stocked and we cooked several meals while we were here. A nice supermarket is nearby (close to the aforementioned TGI Fridays). There is a trash compactor near the entrance to the complex, and that's where you take your trash.
When we were ready to leave, we were told only to empty the trash. We didn't need to clean the towels, dishes, or anything else. Nice. We enjoyed having a washer/dryer during our stay.
Our only complaint was check-in procedures. My wife called them three or four times to get specific information on when we could check in. We were told that we had to arrive between 1:00 and 4:00, which was quite inconvenient. We were at Universal Studios with kids, so we had to split up, leave the kids there with supervision, return to the condo to get the keys, then return to the park. But apparently our instructions were wrong. You can't check in before 4:00, even though the office closes at 4:00. YOu are apparently supposed to get the keys through some kind of lockbox system, but that wasn't clearly explained. Once we got over the check-in difficulties, everything was great.
The location truly is only about two miles from an entrance to Disney World. There are also plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops, and other services nearby.
Great place to stay
Just went to Sunlake resort Dec 1st - 4th. We stayed in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath villa. Everything about this villa was perfect. My family and I had a wonderful visit and I would stay here again. Loved having a washer and dryer and the kitchen was wonderful. The office was hard to find. It is located in the shopping center next to the resort beside TGIF.
Absolutley Beautiful
I was a little skeptical too b/c of the price and we booked a 3 bedroom condo. When we got there, for free we were upgraded to a 4 bedroom condo and it was absolutely beautiful...gorgeous furnishings and top notch electronics, kitchen was beautiful and well stocked with cooking supplies....great porch and scenery of woods, jacuzzi tub was great....immaculately clean and decorated top notch..master bedroom had 4 poster bed, the kids stayed in a room with a mural of mickey and minnie on the walls...it was truly beautiful...we are going back again two more times before the end of the year and staying there again....
Loved It !!!!!
My husband got lost, and after about an hour of driving around, we finally found the Condos ... we were 10 minutes away from them by the way, we just kept missing the road. By this time my husband was convinced that there was no "Sunlake Resort" and if there was such a place, it was probably a dump!!! Imagine his surprise when we opened the door, it was simply beautiful, I was thoroughly impressed. We all were. My husband, myself and our three boys spent a wondeful week enjoying Orlando, in the comfort of our beautiful fully furnished Condo, we plan to return again real soon.
Made Our Vacation!
Stayed here for 7 days! Did not know what to expect with because the price for the rental seemed cheap compared to what were were being offered. As a previous reviewer stated our jaws dropped when we opened the front door and entered into a large two roomed condominium with lounge and family rooms completed with first class furnishings. Located a genuine two miles from Disney and near shops, restuarants and I-4, the accommodation at Sunlake was the icing on the cake of a great vacation! Will definitely return here again!
Loved Sunlake Resort
I stayed at the sunlake resort in February. At first, I had my doubts about the place because the price was so cheap. Once I got there and opened the front door, my jaw dropped. It was so nice inside. I would without a doubt, stay there again!

You should go on any and every ride you want to go on. Enjoy the moment, it's yours.

Posted on 05/01/2012 3:33:52 AM PDT by tobyhill
Gas prices continued their slide today, with the average price of a gallon of regular gas at $3.83, down 4 cents from a week ago, according to the Department of Energy. This price is also down 13 cents from a year ago.
The most expensive gas in the country is on the West Coast, where the average price for a gallon of regular is $4.12.
The least expensive gas is on the Gulf Coast, with the average price for a gallon of regular at $3.69.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Gas is killing me. Can't even visit my daughter-28 miles away. Costs me $12. I'm a senior on fixed income.
It went up 10 cents and comes down 4.
And the MSM trumpets the .04 cent drop like we won the lottery
My wife lost her job and with unemployment we actually make more money with the savings from the gas she's not using.
Aint that the truth.
I had to delete #2 because one of the cartoons was from Ramirez. Please remove that cartoon if you want to use that assortment as a post. Thanks.
" I had to delete #2 because one of the cartoons was from Ramirez. "
You must be new - Mods historically yank posts and threads without explanation (or in the case of 'pulled threads', a cryptic 'explanation' that explains nothing..)
Hang in there - you'll catch on.... ;)
The CBS news last night said gas is back to where it was a year ago, So, no harm no foul, happy days are back again. Bull feathers! That kind of lousy news coverage just doesn't cut it. Everyone wants it back to where it was when Odumbo took office! Around $ 1.80 per gallon.
" If he came out an announced: 1) All federal lands are open for drilling (e.g., ANWR, offshore, and deep water), 2) the EPA will no longer set emission standards, and 3) all federal permitting processes will take no longer than 90 days, the spot price of oil would drop through the floor. "
If he did all (or any) of that, he'd be more 'Republican' than most Republicans...
alright! "rations have been increased..."
The other is that the GOP hates and are running against Conservatives and Conservativeism, not the Democrat Party.
Last but not least,the GOP attacks and critsizes Conservatives, not Democrats.
The time is not yet right.
The time for killing begins in late August. Blood spilled in May will be cleaned up with no trace come election season.
The plan seems to be have massive arrays of artillery and unlimited TV and internet ammo ready for continuous devastating barrage to be fired at the proper time. The assault in late October will yield carnage on an unprecedented scale.
I kinda feel this way about the GOP, too. I've not given the GOP any money since I started feeling this way. Indeed, it may well be time to start "our own" party, perhaps using the Tea Party as its seed.
I hope you're right, but the GOP seems very inept to me when it comes to making issues stick on the opposition. If they don't do a better job before November, I fear for this Republic.
All hail our savior Lord Obama! Gas prices are down!
Yes, what shall we do with the extra ten grams of chocolate?
I am very fortunate to have a 4 mile commute, but it is going to hurt to have such a large part of our vacation fund going to gas going to and from. I guess the suvenier shops and restaurants will be missing out on some of my money.
By merely looking at a gas pump, Obama has made the price of gas go down! His magical powers are beyond belief! He's going to pay my car payment!
By election day, gas will be at .47 9/10 and unemployment will be around 3%.
Well said. As Rush would say, "strategery".

NEW YORK — Retailers and consumers better tighten their garter belts and bra straps — Betsey Johnson is about to shake up the quiet world of intimate apparel.
This story first appeared in the July 28, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The perennially hip designer has signed her first licensing agreement with Carole Hochman Designs Inc. Johnson said she has "big plans" to bring her sense of fashion whimsy to a conservative lingerie industry that needs more sizzle.
The Betsey Johnson collection of intimates will bow in January here at a new Betsey Johnson showroom ensconced within the Carole Hochman headquarters at 135 Madison Avenue. Initial offerings will include sleepwear and soft daywear pieces. Bras and corsetry will follow in the next several seasons, said Johnson, who has final approval of product.
Distribution is aimed at the 500 or so specialty stores that carry the designer's sportswear collection, as well as major stores such as Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, said Chantal Bacon, co-owner of the Betsey Johnson firm. Exclusive lingerie styles will be sold at 45 Betsey Johnson boutiques nationwide.
Bacon projected first-year wholesale sales for the lingerie of about $5 million.
Discussing her lingerie ideas at her signature pink Seventh Avenue showroom, Johnson was joined by Carole Hochman, chief executive officer and design director of the firm bearing her name; Neal Hochman, corporate secretary, and Seth Morris, president. Johnson displayed a number of inspirational items she has designed and collected over the years that have a look of lingerie. Strewn across a table were brightly colored sequined G-strings and bikinis, sheer peasant blouses, faux grass hula skirts and embroidered lightweight knit chemises.
Johnson said fabrics and treatments will include sheers, sparkles, blends of cotton and Lycra spandex and "unique knits."
"I've been showing Carole all of my oldies but goodies," she said. "I've always included loungewear and lingerie looks in my collections, but what we'll be doing with Carole Hochman will be much more intricate and specialized."
As for what inspires her to do lingerie, she said, "I connect with the video girls like Beyoncé, Britney, J.Lo and Madonna, who wear the stripes, the roses, the glitter, the sheers, the sexy looks. They're the Liz Taylors and Marilyn Monroes of my day. I literally grew up in leotards. I was an aerialist, so I grew up very body-conscious and I get this body thing."
She said she's been a fervent collector of lingerie since before she and Bacon founded the Johnson company in 1978, adding, "You've got to have it around to see it and touch it, from slinky lingerie of the Thirties and Forties to killer point bras of the Fifties."
Carole Hochman said, "This will be a collaborative effort. We want to keep it identifiable with Betsey. The biggest challenge will be to edit the collection. But we're not out to take it mass market. We want to keep the look and give a certain wow to consumers."
She noted that Betsey Johnson intimates will be the first brand the Hochman firm will display at trade shows, beginning next year.
Asked if distribution will go global, Neal Hochman said, "We can ship worldwide out of Hong Kong, where we make the goods. By having a presence at the trade shows, we will attract a worldwide distribution and a new global customer."

New biography explores Rosa Parks' lifetime of activism
For her 100th birthday, the late Rosa Parks has received a special gift: a new biography by historian Jeanne Theoharis designed to prove that when it comes to the civil rights movement, Parks was more than a one-hit wonder.
Parks, born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala., is the African-American woman who was memorably arrested on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat to a white passenger. Her arrest triggered a bus boycott in Montgomery and made Parks one of the icons of the civil rights movement. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Wauwatosa officials support chain restaurant ban in East Tosa
Chain restaurants would be banned on the east end of North Avenue under a proposal introduced before Common Council members last week.

'Tis the season to be jolly, and Oscar-winning actress-turned-director Jodie Foster is delighted to deliver Home for the Holidays, her second feature film since making her directorial debut with 1991's Little Man Tate. Not that the critics make her burden any easier. "I take those reviews very personally," says Foster, 33. "As an actor it's easy to go, 'Oh, well, the director ruined my performance.' You can walk away. But as a director, I find myself wearing dark glasses outside some theater saying, 'Would you recommend this to your friends?' It is humiliating to become this person who really cares if the movie does well." When the first test audience for Holidays laughed in the wrong places, Foster says she "was totally insulted. Then I realized people laugh at things that touch them, and if I didn't have a sense of humor, I would really be an idiot."
Harrison Ford next plays the romantic lead in Sabrina, due Dec. 15. But growing up near Chicago, he felt more like the Fugitive than Indiana Jones or any action heroes he has portrayed. "I wasn't athletic at all in high school," says Ford, 53. "But I was very popular with the girls, and the guys hated me for it. We had this ledge by the parking lot of our school. So the guys would get me out to this ledge and beat me up. Now those same guys might see me and say, 'Wow, you're Indiana Jones!' " But he's unlikely to run into them: Ford lives on a Wyoming ranch with his wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, and their two kids. "There are no traces of my movie life at home," he says. Not even Indy's famed fedora? "Okay," he admits, "I do have that."
On the blue-collar comedy series Grace Under Fire, Texas-reared actress Julie White plays Brett Butler's best friend Nadine, who is married to husband No. 4, Wade Swoboda (Casey Sander). But in real life, White has more in common with the fictional Ilk Grace, a single mom. "Except that Grace gets a date every time she turns around," says the divorced White, 34, who has a 9-year-old daughter, Alexandra. "Not me. The guy would have to be perfect in every way because I don't want to spend the money on a baby-sitter and miss out on those extra hours of sleep. A lot of great guys around my age are married: They love women and they wanted to settle down, and that's one of the things I that makes them great guys. Maybe it's like musical chairs. I have to wait until the music stops for someone to be left without a chair."
Since Cheers ended in 1993, Kirstie Alley has played her share of strong onscreen characters like the independent social worker in the romantic comedy It Takes Two. But in real life she prefers to be deferential—at least in matters of breaking-and-entering. "This sounds very un-feminist, but I think there has to be a boss in every arrangement, and I prefer it being the man," says Alley, 40, who has two children with her husband, actor Parker Stevenson. "If an intruder breaks in, I'm not going to say, 'Honey, give me the gun.' Parker and I have what I call the burglar relationship. I wouldn't think of going down to see who broke into the house, and he wouldn't think of letting me. I think it's romantic."

It's an arduous task to evaluate coaches, especially coaches of elite-level programs.
When teams are successful, we often point to the talent of the players, and with the top programs, this is often a fair assessment. Some teams get top talent year after year, which makes it easier to understand why they are who they are.
When teams are not as successful, we are also quick to pull the trigger at the coach, assuming that his decisions or inability to shape this talent is at the root of an underachieving team.
It is the same in any sport, but maybe more pronounced in a shorter season, with an every-game-means-everything environment like college basketball or college football.
Right or wrong, we tend to over-analyze this aspect. The fact is, most coaches are pretty darn good. Some have turned mid-majors into national powers, others have been successful with multiple programs and still others have become long-standing icons at one particular school.
Here is at look at the coaches of this week's AP Top 25 teams based on this season's results to date.
Now, for the disclaimer:
This is NOT a ranking of coaches all-time but of this season alone based on a number of things. Perhaps most important is whether this coach, and this team, has consistently exceeded expectations. Doesn't mean they are better than other teams or that the coach is better. It is simply based on how each has done with what he has.

With their April 1 deadline just days away, Crawford County United Way is hoping one final fundraiser will boost its 2016 Allocation Fund to a more comfortable level.
Each year, Crawford County United Way (CCUW) invites local human services agencies to apply for funding to help reach their program goals in areas such as health, nutrition and education. Importantly, the process of reviewing these applications serves this community well by monitoring needs versus resources, and keeps CCUW in touch with changes and trends.
"The more we can raise, the more we can give," said Executive Director Cheryll Ruley. "Our local agencies are hoping to receive funding comparable to 2015 levels and we hope everyone will help us make that happen."
On Wednesday, March 23, 2016, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Spike's Keg 'O' Nails in Grayling, CCUW will hold its 5th annual LAST BLAST Celebrity Server Night. All tips and 10% of all food and non-alcoholic beverage sales will be donated to CCUW by Spike's.
Celebrities that evening will include Jordan Stancil of the Rialto Theater, Chad Patterson of Acting Up Theater Company, Jason Thompson of Bloomquist & Thompson, PLLC, Colin Hunter of Carey & Jaskowski, PLLC, Crawford County Sheriff Kirk Wakefield, and Sheryl Coyne and Maureen "Mo" Barkume of Blarney Stone Broadcasting. Diners are encouraged to "hassle the help" and tip them accordingly for the cause.
"We would like to thank Jeremy and Darcie Bowers and Carrie Cadeau and the entire staff of Spike's for their generosity and all their help to make this event a success every year. Thank you, also, to all those who volunteer as a Celebrity Server. We couldn't do what we do without the help of community minded people like you," said Karen Hatley, President of CCUW.
This year, CCUW is accepting tips online prior to, during, and after the event for those who may not be able to come for dinner. Go to www.crawfordunitedway.org/give and click on the Donate button at the top of the page. Be sure to indicate which server you are tipping. "We would love to see some light-hearted competition online between the servers," said Ruley. "It would be great for our community."
"Please come out. Don't let a little bridge work stop you. Bring the whole family and all of your friends," urged Ruley, "and bring your appetites and smiles, too. We look forward to seeing you at Celebrity Server Night."

You work in the Strategy Analysis department of On-Call, a worldwide paging firm offering satellitebased digital communications through sophisticated pagers. On-Call is analyzing the possibility of acquiring AtlantiCom, an East Coast paging firm in Maine.
AtlantiCom's latest quarterly report disclosed an unfavorable volume variance of $1.3 million. The engineering staff of On-Call, familiar with AtlantiCom's network, estimates that AtlantiCom has quarterly fixed overhead costs of $6.5 million that can deliver 800,000 message packets per quarter. A message packet is the industry standard of delivering a fixed amount of digital information within a given time period.
In valuing AtlantiCom, senior management at On-Call wants to know whether AtlantiCom has excess capacity, and, if so, how much.
As a percentage of AtlantiCom's current capacity of 800,000 message packets, estimate AtlantiCom's over-or undercapacity last quarter. Assume that the quarterly fixed overhead costs of $6.5 million approximate budgeted fixed overhead and that actual and standard volumes are the same.

Talk:Drip marketing
|WikiProject Marketing & Advertising
|(Rated Start-class, Mid-importance)
Not a duplicate, people![edit]
This article is not a duplicate of the E-mail drip marketing article. I wrote this article for the exact reason that email drip marketing alone is too narrow of a view on this subject matter. Drip Marketing is a practice unto itself, not dependent upon the medium of email alone. If you look at the article's content, I gave 3 examples of mediums in which drip marketing can be done and cited the E-mail drip marketing article as one of them.
If anything, the E-mail drip marketing article needs to be absorbed into this, or redirected here.
Merger proposal[edit]
Deleted reference[edit]
A reference that I added was removed because Mr. Ollie believed it represented a conflict of interest. I don't see it that way as it is a neutral article. Nevertheless, the Wikipedia policy he links to implies that anyone who specializes in a topic may have a conflict of interest--and under that definition this may represent a conflict of interest.
The Wikipedia help on the policy page recommends moving the reference to the talk page so I am adding it below. Please let me know if I should change the example to make it more neutral. Thank you. [1]

The Tap Pre-Show: See the Last Bison perform 'Switzerland' in our studio
The Last Bison is a family affair. Actually two families. Frontman Ben Hardesty's father Dan does the banjo and mandolin, with Ben's sis Annah on bells and percussion. Andrew Benfante handles reed organ and the melodica, and brother Jay is on drums and percussion. Then "honorary relatives" Teresa Totheroh (Annah's best friend) plays violin, with Annah's boyfriend Amos Housworth on cello.
With their talents combined the Virginia folk revival act has made one of my favorite songs so far this year "Switzerland," appearing on its debut album "Inheritance" for Republic Records (home of the Avett Brothers and Of Monsters and Men). The combination of whimsical xylophone and banjo, the beauty of violin and cello, and the gruff passion of Ben Hardesty's voice really gets under my skin. »Read Full Blog Post
Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'

Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

After a long hiatus, yours truly is back to blogging because the Polo Sedan CBU that I own has undergone another facelift ( and gained a new name to be exact!). I am intrigued when I heard that the Volkswagen Vento, the new name for Polo Sedan, comes with 3 variants - Trendline, Comfortline and Highline; where the latter is equipped with the infamous 1.2 litre TSI engine and a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
I'm lucky that the showroom has all 3 variants as its display units, so a clear differentiation can be done visually. While the black car above is the Highline, the best item to differentiate it among the 3 variants is the 215/45 wide and low profile tyres with 16-inch 'Syenit' two-tone alloys, which is one inch above the other 2 variants with 185/60R15 'Riverside' 7-spoke alloys.
The Vento bears some resemblance of the Passat, isn't it? It's not a bad thing, considering the facelift has given the Vento a more upmarket design. Below, on the left is the Comfortline while the right is the entry variant Trendline. Being the base model, the Trendline loses out chrome bar and fog lights in the lower air vent. Other than that, it is mostly identical to the Comfortline.
The rear gained a new graphics for the taillights, a newly positioned chrome bar on the tailgate and a redesigned rear bumper.
One improvement over my CBU unit is the electronic latch found on the tailgate, much more convenient than using the latch on the driver door or the remote to unlock the tailgate.
As for the Highline 1.2 litre TSI engine, it generates 105PS at 5,000rpm and 175Nm of torque from 1,550-4100rpm. On the other hand, the 1.6 litre naturally aspirated MPI engine produces 105PS at 5,250rpm and 153Nm at 3,800rpm. I have always feel that the 1.6 litre NA engine is just adequate to power the Polo Sedan, so this 1.2 TSI engine should be a great addition for drivers who want more power!
Interior wise, you will notice the steering wheel in the pic below looks a bit bare. Yes, it belongs to the Trendline, where it comes with basic features and chrome bits here and there are omitted. No front center armrest and rear aircond for Trendline as well.
Now this looks a little better in the Comfortline, with piano black finishing and control buttons on the flat-bottomed steering wheel. It comes with Climatronic automated air-conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, front center armrest with rear air-conditioned. Both Trendline and Comfortline are equipped with ABS, EBD, Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) and the Comfortline gained additional 2 side airbags, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. Thus, I would say the previous Polo Sedan CKD units are on par with what the Comfortline is offering now.
As for the Highline, it gained 'Cable' fabric upholstery. Volkswagen should offer leather seats for the Highline, in my opinion. However, I feel that the seats are padded more generously than the CBU units. Safety wise, it adds on hill assist control and Electronic Stability Programme (ESC) which finally make itself eligible for 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating! It will be perfect if it comes with 6 airbags though.
One thing I noticed is the graphic of the digital instrument panel in the Vento (left) seems like a downgrade from the one available in the CBU unit (right). It just does not look as premium.
I would say the pricing (OTR without insurance) is well planned:
Trendline: RM80,646
Comfortline: RM87,646
Highline: RM94,461
Trendline is low enough to make buyers of usual Japanese B-segment think twice, while the Highline is well below the RM100k mark. Although the top-spec of Honda City is better equipped than the Highline, but the performance and handling should give the Japanese competitor a run for its money.
Worried about the TSI and DSG reliability? The Vento comes with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty and 5 years mobility guarantee. But then, my experience with VW service center as well as showroom were not that pleasant either...

SanDisk claims their G3 SSDs are twice as fast as prior SSDs and over five times as fast as the fastest 7200RPM HDD, with sequential performance of 200MB/s read and 140MB/s write. The price? Just over US$2 a gigabyte.
Rich Heye of SanDisk's SSD business unit explains the technology driving the G3's unprecedented performance: "Three key features developed by SanDisk enable this new design: a new SSD algorithm called ExtremeFFSTM allows random write performance to potentially improve by as much as 100 times over conventional algorithms; reliable 43nm multi-level cell (MLC) all bit-line (ABL) NAND flash; and SanDisk's new SSD controller, which ties together the NAND and the algorithm."
With many businesses still stuck on Windows XP to support an aging intranet or vital business software which only works with IE6, and the subsequent 3.5GB limit on addressable RAM, SSDs represent a new, and increasingly affordable way to squeeze additional performance out of existing machines (and obsolete operating systems) with a simple plug-in upgrade.
The SATA-II drives will be available June, in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors, with capacities of 60GB (US$149), 120GB ($249) and 240GB ($499).

Intersections' Consumer Security Adviser Neal O'Farrell writes today about a dangerous new banking Trojan that has recently been making the rounds. It's called "SpyEye" and it is causing all sorts of trouble. In today's article, Neal provides some important tips on how to protect yourself, and your bank account from this nasty threat.
A few years ago I started warning about a dangerous new type of malware known as a banker or banking Trojan, with names like Clampi and Zeus. Banking Trojans were such a threat because they were very good at what they were designed to do — sneak on to your computer, bypass security, steal your passwords, log in to your bank accounts and empty them. Within a matter of months the FBI estimated that these Trojans had stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from victims across America.
Security researchers recently discovered a very dangerous new form of this Trojan that has financial institutions very worried. The Trojan is called SpyEye and has also been around for a few years — most researchers believe SpyEye is just a reincarnation of the dreaded Zeus Trojan.
In the new version, the Trojan is able to manipulate your transactions history so that if you were to check in on your bank account and look at things like transactions and balances, everything would look OK. That's because the Trojan is able to erase its tracks and hide any changes it makes in your account — like transferring all your money to another account. This is a very worrying development because in many cases, checking your statements is the only defense you may have against such scams.
Because the attack presents the doctored statements to your browser, it would not be able to hide the attack if you were to access your bank account from another computer or an ATM. And of course the scam would be obvious in a paper statement. But, as experts point, finding out about the attack when your statement arrives thirty days later may be way to late to stop thieves from emptying your account.
In an interview with MSNBC, Amit Klein, one of the security experts who discovered the new threat cautioned "My take is that if your computer is infected with financial malware, it's game over anyway. My takeaway is you need to prevent getting infected with financial malware in the first place."
Because SpyEye variants are constantly changing to evade virus detection, it can sometimes take virus companies weeks to push out a virus signature to your computer. If SpyEye manages to infect your computer during that window, you may be out of luck.
In 2005, almost half of new malicious codes were Trojans, according to Panda Security. By the end of 2010, Trojans made up more than 70% of new malware.There are believed to be thousands of varieties of banking Trojans in circulation, and some can be purchased as complete ready-to-go kits for as little as a few hundred dollars.
Most Trojans will infect computers by using spam with infected email attachments, or by infecting web sites which in turn will infect unprotected computers visiting those sites – known as "drive by" infections.
Here are some things you can do to protect yourself:
• Scan all of your personal and business computers, either using your existing anti-virus software or using any of the free scanning services listed on our web site.
• Be very careful in the websites you visit and consider using one of the many free web site verification tools, like Trusteer, that can help identify infected web sites before you click on them.
• Layer every computer with the best virus and spyware protection available and update it constantly. But be aware that having the latest anti-malware protection in place is no guarantee that you'll be able to prevent or detect an infection.
• Patch your computer constantly and make sure your computer settings are configured to automatically download and install patches and updates as soon as they become available.
• Avoid opening email attachments or clicking on links in emails unless you're able to verify the email is legitimate, and be careful about visiting web sites you're not familiar with.
• Teach all family members or employees to be especially vigilant for phishing schemes and to watch out for unusual or personalized emails with attachments or links that are not familiar.
• Set up account alerts to notify you of any transactions or changes in account balances, and work with your bank to see if there are additional layers of authentication they can use to prevent or alert you to unauthorized transfers.
• Spread your funds between a number of accounts and limit the number of users on each account.
• Change your passwords regularly, make them tough to guess, and protect them well.
• Use keylogger protection to help hide your passwords and protect them from snoops.
• Consider using just one computer for online banking, and make sure that computer is highly secure and ideally not used for email or any other Internet connected activity.
• Be vigilant when visiting your bank login page, especially for any changes to the login procedure or requests for additional information.
• Check your paper statementsas soon as you get them

Media Release: TMNP Congratulates the SAPS on Arrest of Alleged Mugger
Date: 2007-08-30
Cape Town, 30 August 2007- Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) Park Manager Brett Myrdal has welcomed the arrest by the SAPS of an alleged mountain mugger yesterday.
The alleged mugger was busted from a hide out on Table Mountain.
The arrest follows high-level meetings between the park managers and the SAPS in the last two weeks.
TMNP is scheduled to meet MEC for Community Safety Leonard Ramatlakane to discuss security on Table Mountain today and to expedite and detail this funding support.
The Park officials requested R4m from Province and the R5.4 from the City to fund visitor safety measures in December 2006. Myrdal has also appealed to SAPS to support TMNP in the fight against crime.
The requests included the deployment of SAPS officers on the mountain, the use of anti-crime intelligence, an increase in the number of CCTV cameras, the hiring of private armed reaction back up units and to increase the number of dog patrols.
"We have a presence of 52 rangers who patrol the mountain on a 24-hour cycle and 200 volunteers during weekends, but this simply isn't enough," said Myrdal. "The park is vast and unfenced, making it easy to people with criminal intent to move freely from one place to another.
"The time for City and Province's increased support is now," said Myrdal "We have led through action, and assumed responsibility for visitor safety on the mountain since 2004. Now its time for us to receive the support we need."
According to Myrdal, it is imperative to assume a collective responsibility for the safety and security of all residents and tourists in Cape Town.
Criminals do not restrict themselves to the city alone, but are a feature of our urban environment of which Table Mountain National Park is an integral part.
Myrdal stressed this week that a united front between all stakeholders was essential in preparation for the 2010 World Cup during which time an increase in visitors to the Park was anticipated.
Other major parties that have been invited to TMNP's September workshop include Cape Town Tourism, Cape Town Routes Unlimited, the Table Mountain Cableway Company, the TMNP Park Forum, the SA National Biodiversity Institute and volunteer organizations who can practically help on the mountain.

The main goal of this study was to show that tardive dyskinesia is more likely to develop in patients with pseudoparkinsonian symptoms than in patients not exhibiting such manifestations. This hypothesis was supported by data from three independent studies: (1) observation of neurological changes in 55 schizophrenic patients taken off a regimen of neuroleptic drugs; (2) a study of the evolution of symptoms in 400 subjects on various drug regimens over a one-year period; and (3) a controlled investigation of the effects of gradual removal of neuroleptics in four samples of patients exhibiting a variety of druginduced side effects or no drug related neurological manifestations.

God of War or God of Bore?
Before I get onto another point, answer this for me. Kratos is this incredibly strong demigod, he tears creatures apart with a swing of his weapons, but he is constantly thwarted by a blocked wooden door. Some god he is, he can't even open a door without finding a cannon to blow it open. And to get the cannon in place you need to complete some mindless puzzle. Why can't he just knock the door down? Another thing, and this can be applied to other games, do we really need a QTE when he lifts a door? Kratos the Mighty opens the door, better push Triangle as quickly as you can otherwise he will drop it on his toes. Monsters can attack him, cut him, set him on fire, but do not let that door fall on his toes. Anyway, what about the story makes it 'epic'? Is it because you fight other deities, meaning that we just throw the word epic in? I suppose by definition any game can be epic so long as it is really long or ambitious. Does epic even mean that the game is any good? So many questions about a game which is clearly very popular, so popular that it has resulted in three console releases and two portable releases, two HD collections with another on the way, and of course a fourthconsole release pending. So I am definitely missing out something here, but no matter how hard I try I can't help but get bored when playing the game. Kratos as a character does nothing for me. I find him a testosterone-fuelled bully who has hit the gym far too often, and the story holds very little interest. Perhaps I just don't get it, perhaps one of you wonderful readers will explain it to me and I will finally see the light. Perhaps you will make me see that every boss battle with its QTE ending is actually different to the other hundred or so battles. Maybe, just maybe, a fanboi will convince me of the game's epic stature and I will become a fan of the series. God of War? Or God of Bore?I am going to go out and say it… I don't get the God of War series. I have no idea why people love that game enough to continue to rave about it. Now I know that everyone is going to come here and say "Oh man, it is so epic" or I will get told "I just love the mythology behind it". I will no doubt get told that it you love how gruesome it is or perhaps you just like the naughty bits thrown in. I just don't get it. To me it is a glorified button masher. There is no real strategy to how you attack the enemies, however monstrous they are. The boss battles are okay. Taking on the Hydra was really cool but the others were nothing mind blowing. The puzzles are generally pretty lame: move this box here, jump on box, jump across to another box… you get the point right?
