not going to need any pretext Thats my way of saying that I really like the Gulf Coast of Florida In this visit with you I coulc most of my time or all 01 my time telling about the AP meetings

Come On, Let's Sweater
Think your holiday sweater is more ridiculous than my holiday sweater? Put your money where your mouth is! Pull yours on and head down to Lakewoods Belmar for Dated Holiday Sweater Night, an evening of ice-skating, contests and a warm-clothing drive to benefit the Jeffco Action Center.
Everyone can relate to this idea, whether its Grandma who loves her sweater to a group of twenty-somethings who make a party out of it, says Belmars Stephanie Jackson. Its something that every age can participate in and have fun. Its great to offer something humorous and lighthearted with a theme.
Last years sweaters included the typical snowmen and reindeer as well as sweaters that take clothing a step further with tinkling holiday carols and flashing lights.
Stop by the Rink at Belmar at 6 p.m. tonight; dated-sweater wearers skate for free. Prizes -- Belmar holiday entertainment packages that include two free passes to the movies, ice skating and bowling -- will be awarded for the most memorable mens, womens, childrens and best overall sweater.
Dont have a sweater but still want to skate free? Bring an article of warm winter clothing to donate and the rink is all yours. Call 303-742-1520 or visit www.belmarcolorado.com.

During the past six months the competition amongst mortgage lenders has intensified, despite the housing market showing precious few signs of recovery.
Many of the rate cuts have been available for borrowers with a 20 per cent deposit or more, with mortgage products aimed at the first-time buyer not even on the menu from some high-street lenders.
While 95 per cent and 100 per cent-plus loan-to-value (LTV) mortgages are unlikely to be found except for a few non-standard products where additional security is mandatory, and quite rightly so, there was some brighter news for those looking to buy their first property.
Britannia and the Co-operative Bank returned to 90 per cent LTV lending and launched a choice of very keenly priced products to support customers looking to purchase their first home.
For a two-year fixed rate there is a choice of 5.99 per cent and no fee or 5.49 per cent with a £999 fee, both look worth closer inspection and fare well against the current best buy of 5.98 per cent and £495 fee from Nationwide building society.
If you feel more comfortable with a longer-term fix, there are five-year options priced at 6.39 per cent and no fee or 6.09 per cent with a £999 fee, both will give the NatWest 6.39 per cent with no fee deal a run for its money.
For those who are comfortable with a variable rate mortgage, there is also a three-year tracker option for first-time buyers at 4.49 per cent with a £999 fee.
It's good to see that the competition which has driven rates lower in the mainstream mortgage market is starting to filter through for those looking to take that big step on to the first rung of the housing ladder.
This is welcome news, however, managing to scrape together a 10 per cent deposit will still seem a dream for many people.
In other mortgage news, ING Direct ramped up the pressure on HSBC at the top of the best buys for discounted tracker rate mortgages.
HSBC is now offering 2.29 per cent and £999 fee for two years, while this week ING relaxed the LTV from 60 per cent to 70 per cent for its 2.55 per cent two-year mortgage with no fee.
Yorkshire and Clydesdale tempt new customers with 0 per cent credit card
credit card providers have been through a couple of years that they would probably prefer to forget, not only having to deal with a surge in bad debts as the recession took hold but also coming under increasing pressure from the Government to offer customers a fairer deal.
As a result, the market was much quieter in 2009 with few new products being launched, and many of us wondered if the 0 per cent balance transfer deal was on its way out.
New research from Moneynet this week reveals this not to be the case and in fact the number of interest-free deals is virtually back to the levels seen in the summer of 2008.
Two years ago there were 80 0 per cent balance transfer cards on the market, of which 39 were for a term of 12 months or more. However, a year later, in the economic downturn, the number of 0 per cent cards plummeted to just 52 with only 24 being for one-year-plus.
Today there's a choice of 71 deals offering you the chance to switch to a 0 per cent card, with 39 for 12 months or more, so the appetite for new business has certainly perked up.
Another example of this increased desire to attract new customers was seen this week when Yorkshire Bank and Clydesdale Bank launched a 0 per cent balance transfer card for a market-leading 16 months.
The one-off transfer fee is in line with the majority of the market at 3 per cent and once the introductory period expires, the interest rate reverts to a respectable 16.9 per cent APR.
While it's good to see new products being launched and availability back up to 2008 levels, lenders will still be operating very tight credit-scoring strategies. If your credit record is squeaky clean then the garden looks quite rosy, although the size of the credit limit you'll be offered is likely to be much smaller than you'd have seen a couple of years back.
If your credit rating is tarnished then the experience is likely to be less positive and you may find your application for market-leading introductory offers declined or that you will be offered plastic but with a higher than standard rate of interest. While lenders still want new business and some "rate tarts" are still looking to switch their balance on a frequent basis, the goalposts have undoubtedly moved and a greater proportion of applicants will receive a "sorry, we are unable to approve" response rather than an envelope containing the piece of plastic they'd been hoping for.

Eos water damage - roof seals, hydraulic pump, sound system
A while back an Eos owner here used the phrase "my hydraulic pump took a swim". Seems this happened to me. We had some unusually severe weather here and water got into my car, damaging a few things.
I'm looking for advice / tips on how to proceed.
The dealer hasn't completed a full diagnosis yet, but warned me this could be $10k+ of repairs. Some of it (e.g. replacing the seals) I know is needed and I think they are the best guys to do it (the tech there just finished another similar repair, and it sounds like they took their time and did a good job).
But I'm struggling to swallow a few other items on the estimate (e.g. hydraulic pump $1200, control unit $650). Granted it could turn out some of these don't need replacing, but if they do, I feel like I don't really need a brand new $650 control unit when I could get a second-hand one in decent condition off eBay for $150.
There might also be an issue with the nav head unit / wiring harness and/or stereo amp. The speakers intermittently stop working - at one point they came back on after the car was running for a while. (Anyone know where the amp is located in the Eos and what Dynaudio model it is?)
I'm weighing whether to proceed with the repairs or buy a new vehicle.
Aside from this utter disaster, I've taken great care of the car and pampered it (it lived in a garage most of its life until recently). Never had any engine issues, etc. and it's otherwise in good shape. Wish I had known about the "park facing downwards, not upwards" tip :-S.
I'd love some thoughts from others with more automotive experience. Is it worth going ahead? Any tips for trimming down the cost of my repair? e.g. I'm thinking I might be able to tackle the sound issue on my own. And maybe see if I can source alternatives acceptable to the tech for some of the parts which don't really need to be new (I anticipate dealerships probably don't like to hear that sort of thing - has anyone done that before, or is it a faux-paux that will just piss them off to suggest?)
Grateful for any advice.

When you buy used stuff you never know if it is working... and very little warranty. I've seen stories about this, but indeed original new is a bit costly, so I would try that too. I'd probably change the control unit and pump by myself (and create a hole to never let it happen again). From what I've read it isn't that difficult.
The dynaudio amp is under the drivers seat.
you will also loose a lot of money when you are selling the car without the roof working...

The dealer estimate is probably about right. Most dealers will replace the pump and controller together so I suspect a bad pump takes out the controller.
Personally, I would put the audio problem lower down than getting a working dry roof. You can always drop in a cheap Pioneer radio and still keep used value on the car.
You say buy parts cheaper on Fleabay? As Batjes says, you don't know what you are getting and you may have to code parts or check for errors so factor in the price of vcds diagnostics. Work on these cars is rarely plug and play to fix. There may be other collateral damage to sort. You could try getting a price from either a cabriolet specialist or an independent VW/Audi garage. There are firms now which are rebuilding the EOS pumps and in U.K I've seen them rebuilt for exchange around your $213. In my opinion a dealer price + always ends up at the +.
Your best investment would have been a half top cover. Although MY07 doesn't leak a drop, I have used the cover some nights when frost freezing was forecast and those rare occasions when we might get hurricane winds. The cover stays in the trunk for emergencies.
The prices you are being quoted will be mostly expensive labor and VW dealerships can be the most expensive. I would try to trim the labor first, which means a non-VW service shop with the experience.

USD/JPY: "Tweezers" settled all issues
Galina Svetlova
There're an "Engulfing" and a "Tweezers" on the 144 Moving Average, which made the current bearish plunge possible. The price is likely going to have some rest between two "Windows" in the short term. As we can see on the Daily chart, a "Dark Cloud" has done the greatest job, so we've got a huge black candle. The last "Window" can act as a support again.
We've got a "Tweezers" and a "Shooting Star" at the last high. The price has already achieved the nearest "Window", so there's a flat under it. However, the market is likely going to falling down soon until any bullish pattern appears.

New Delhi, Jan 9 (ANI): Vintage cars, some of which are hundred years old, have become a major source of attraction at the ongoing Auto Expo 2010 in New Delhi.
The Heritage Motoring Club of India is behind the initiative of showcasing around 50 cars.
"On an average, between forty-fifty cars are displayed on every Auto Expo. Apart from that, we do lot of other events where we do parades, rallies, shows, drives, including long distance drives. The main purpose in doing all of these is to stimulate public interest and restoration, preservation and collection of vintage classic automobiles," said Diljeet Titus, the General Secretary of HMCI (Heritage Motoring Club Of India).
Some of the cars exhibited in the show were vintage BMW Isetta 300, Buick Series 90L, Jaguar XK120, Mercedes 180 Pontoon, and even a 1966 Mustang.
S B Jatti, Vice President of HMCI said that the HMCI has taken the onus on directing owners on the care and maintenance of the cars.
"Maintenance itself is one of the main reasons or objectives of our club, to help people maintain these cars. We identify people who supply parts. We also have a website where we are given parts locator, and we also guide our members how to maintain these cars," said Jatti.
The 10th India Auto Expo kicked off in here January 5 and would continue for a week. Auto Expo is a complete automotive show organized jointly by Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM).

Photos: Welcome to Randyland!
Randy Gilson's home on the North Side just may be the most colorful place in Pittsburgh.
Randyland is on display for anyone who wants to visit. Randy Gilson invited Pittsburgh's Action News 4 anchor Michelle Wright for a tour.
Randy Gilson is doing his part to revitalize his area of the Central North Side, and he has signed up to raise $10,000 on Kickstarter by July 22.
Randyland is at the corner of Arch and Jacksonia streets on the Central North Side, in the historic neighborhood of the former Allegheny City.
Randyland started almost 20 years ago. The area was blighted at the time, and Randy Gilson began sprucing it up, planting hundreds of flower and vegetable gardens in vacant lots and offering his courtyard for free to anyone who wanted to use it.
A waiter by day, Randy Gilson used tip money to buy paint for Randyland and in his spare time found special things that others have thrown away.
"We're not just an old community forgotten anymore, but we're reinventing again over and over," Randy Gilson said.
One of the coolest parts of Randyland is a giant outdoor map of Pittsburgh that Randy Gilson designed on the wall of his bright yellow home.
With the Kickstarter money, Randy Gilson wants to improve and finish his giant city map, complete with metal street signs to mark the area for visitors. (Click here to see his fundraiser campaign page on Kickstarter.)
"I don't want people to just see these five, 10 blocks. I want them to know that Pittsburgh extends to our community."
"I want people in Pittsburgh, when they come over here, that they don't have to fear Pittsburgh. They don't have to fear the North Side. They can come here and they can find the history, the streets, the people, the love of the North Side."
Gilson said people from Pittsburgh and other cities stop by to take a look at Randyland.
"They go, 'What is this place,' and I say, 'This is my home.' They say, 'This is a home? This is not a business?' They say, 'Why did you do this?' And I say, 'Why not?'"
"Everybody loves Randyland. It's a comic book. It's a coloring book," Randy Gilson said, pointing to the colorful designs. "These are the smiles that come to me."

Black, irregular shaped,soft growth, possibly on an oak tree (not in leaf yet) Could it be a stage of King Alfred's Cake? The size is right, but it is soft, rather than hard, and the tree is very much alive.

Yes, it's Exidia glandulosa. However, the cf will mean it doesn't group with other E. glandulosa observations in the iSpot database.
Give a revised id without the cf and no doubt others will agree.

|Charles Darnton
Byron Darnton (November 8, 1897 – October 18, 1942) was an American reporter and war correspondent for the New York Times in the Pacific theater during World War II.
He was killed in 1942 by a bomb dropped from an American B-25 Mitchell bomber, the tenth American war correspondent killed in action in the war. Darnton's work in reporting on the war in the Pacific was respected by military officials, including General Douglas MacArthur, who personally reported Darnton's passing to the Times and Darnton's widow.
Journalism career[edit]
Darnton was born November 8, 1897 in Adrian, Michigan.[1] His interest in journalism began in his teens when he and his family visited his uncle Charles Darnton, a drama critic for Joseph Pulitzer's Evening World in New York, New York.[2] After leaving high school in 1917, Darnton signed on with the American Expeditionary Force and served in World War I,[3] before returning to the United States and entering the University of Michigan, where he joined the fraternity of Sigma Phi.[1][2]
The Sandusky Herald in Sandusky, Ohio provided Darnton's entry to the newspaper industry, followed by a stint at The Baltimore Sun. He also provided several short stories to The Smart Set magazine, then edited by H.L. Mencken. Mencken attempted to convince Darnton to shift his attention to writing fiction. Instead, he went on to write for the Philadelphia Bulletin and Philadelphia Evening Ledger, then in 1925 moved to the New York Post, where his work on the rewrite desk earned him the moniker "The All-American rewrite man."[2] Then, after a period as the Associated Press city editor in New York, he joined the staff of the New York Times in 1934.
With The New York Times[edit]
At The New York Times, Darnton was selected to establish the newspaper's "Review of the Week" section for a time, but in 1939 returned to reporting, and in 1940 began roving assignments that took him around the United States and eventually into the Pacific theater. During that period, he was married to Eleanor Choate and had two sons.
His first overseas assignment was in February 1941, when he was among the first correspondents to leave the United States for Australia. Once there, he took the first opportunity to move to forward bases in New Guinea, where the United States 32nd Infantry Division had been designated to be one of the first U.S. units to attack the Japanese.[4] Darnton had served with the 32nd Infantry Division during World War I and was looking forward to reporting its operations in World War II.[5] He was based near Port Moresby and his reporting included his characteristic wit through amusing anecdotes related by servicemen, and discussed the mood of the troops on the ground and their thoughts regarding the war and its future.[2]
On October 18, 1942, Darnton was aboard the King John, a seventy-foot wooden trawler of the Small Ships Section of U.S. Army Services of Supply SWPA that was also carrying 102 troops of the 128th Infantry, off the coast of Pongani in New Guinea when a B-25 mistook the ships for Japanese vessels and bombed and strafed them.[6][7] Darnton, suffering a shrapnel head wound, died in a boat on the way to shore and Lt. Adam Bruce Fahnestock, prewar South Seas explorer and then head of the Small Ships Section, hit in the spine, died in the arms of the King John's severely wounded Australian Chief Engineer moments after reaching shore.[5][6][7]
His notebook, which was taken from his body by a fellow correspondent and returned to his son, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Darnton in 1976, ended with a question about the bomber that would end his life: "Jap or ours?"[8]
Darnton's passing was marked by many other journalists and officials, including General Douglas MacArthur, who wired to The Times that "He served with gallantry and devotion at the front and fulfilled the important duties of war correspondent with distinction to himself and The New York Times and with value to his country."[3] Major General Edwin F. Harding of the 32nd Infantry Division wrote that, "Everyone hereabouts is distressed over the death of Darnton and [Lt. A. B.] Fahnestock. I knew Darnton quite well... and considered him one damn good correspondent and swell guy. He was hot to be on the spot for the first contact of American Army ground troops with the Japs. I told him that this would probably be it and gave him permission to go."[5] Darnton was buried with full military honors at an Australian-American cemetery outside Port Moresby.[9] Darnton and Fahnestock were buried side by side with British, Australian and American war correspondents acting as pall bearers.[10]
The Byron Darnton[edit]
In 1943, a 10,500-ton Liberty ship was christened with Darnton's name in Baltimore, Maryland. The ship was launched by his widow Eleanor and her sons, John and Bob. Bob wrote his name on the hull in crayon. Both sons followed in their father's footsteps and became journalists. John Darnton joined the New York Times as a copy boy in 1966 and went on to work for the New York Times for four decades. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for his coverage of Poland under martial law when he smuggled stories out of the country.[11] Robert later became a renowned cultural historian. The ship sailed a regular run to Murmansk through the remainder of the war. On March 16, 1946, the Byron Darnton ran aground in an easterly gale off the coast of Sanda Island in the North Channel off the coast of Scotland.[8] In 2003, a pub was opened on Sanda Island named the Byron Darnton. The owner says it is one of the two most remote pubs in the country. Remains of the shipwreck can still be seen at low tide.[12]
Famous quote[edit]
While author Leo Rosten is usually credited with the popular phrase "No man who hates dogs and children can be all bad," used by him to describe comedian W. C. Fields, Darnton was in fact the first to use this phrase regarding an unknown man named Gastonbury.[13] Darnton used it in 1930 after a New York cocktail party, which was later reported in Harper's Monthly in 1937, two years before Leo Rosten used it at a banquet.[14]

Some Men Have Ice in Their Veins
I could tell that Blake was simply a pro at his job, this guy Brown, well, he was sleazy slick, cold to the core.
After a moment's cordiality, "Inspector MacKenzie, maybe we might be more comfortable in my office. Buster, (apparently Mr. Blake's yet unconfessed call name) I'll see to the good Inspector's needs."
I felt hustled and when I feel hustled I feel insulted. But I went, letting this high-priced hustler take some line, hoping that at the end of it I might set the hook deep. His filled my ears with a blur of blather as I kept nodding, fully realizing that he was the kind who tried to keep from telling you anything by talking about nothing, endlessly. That hallway and the left turn down the next hallway seemed to go on forever. Mercy did come and a gal named Delores smiled at us both with a rather feeble effort.
"Delores, coffee for Officer MacKenzie and me. Officer, I take mine black and you."
I nodded, "The same for me." Then he ushered me into his inner sanctum, a surprisingly large expanse of well-heeled and high-class extravagance, guiding my fanny into one of four ox-blood leather chairs that surrounded his desk. He took his seat in his office throne. "Gawd, this guy is an arrogant sonufabi..." An idiosyncrisy of mine is that I pay respect to my saintly mother by not finishing my cuss words and I'm not sure why, but I do.
"Tell me, Mr. MacKenzie, what can I do for you? I'm here to help."
Behind this Mr. Brown was a stately portrait of distinguished gentleman seated in the midst of a law library. The brass plate on the frame read, "L.J. Brown, Senior-Founding Partner." "Ah, now it made sense ... here before me sat Junior. This guy was in this corner office because Daddy had put him in it. It's a sad thing when a breeding line begins to deteriorate."
Returning to his question, "Well, Mr. Brown, last night we found the bound of a young lady and she had in her possession one of your firm's business cards. And we were wondering if she might have either worked here and or was a client of your law firm."
He didn't blink, not one quiver or false move of a finger, not one flex of the iris of his murky brown eyes. This guy was the reason some writer came up with the words, "he had ice water in his veins." He simply uttred, "I will certainly check our records. Her name?"
After scratching her name on a white legal pad with his black and polished Montblanc, Delores and the coffee arrived and we talked about nothing for a few minutes and then the intercom came to life on cue, "Mr. Brown, time for your partner meeting."
As he stood to signal my time was up, he reached for my hand and gave me the old good-bye, "Please check with Delores tomorrow. I leave what I can find out with her. Delores! Please give the Inspector one of my cigars!"
With my lips I said, "Thank you. Mr. Brown. We'd appreciate all the help you can give us." With my thoughts, I looked into his eyes, "You are somehow right in the dirt with this Miss Yellow Roses, I can feel it. No, more than that, I can smell it."
As we walked to the front lobby, Delores and me, I could tell she had been with the firm a long, long time, possibly the old man's secretary. She handed me a small, wooden box with a dark brown and antiqued silver seal bearing the logos of the firm, a monogram of a wildly florid BK interlaced with each other, leaning against a noble looking lion with a paw resting on a globe.
As I left, Mrs. Devonshire gave me another one of those looks that invited me to search her out in a different place and time.

This powder is actually good quality - finely milled, nice pigment.
The packaging is a shaker bottle - works best if you shake it out on something then use your brush - or empty it into a powder container w/ sifter lid.
The colour didn't work with me.. that's all.
i'm a CoverFX I40/MAC NC45 .. which means i'm a CCC - i look yellow but i really have olive undertones.
This CARAMELLO POWDER was just too orange for my skin tone. b/c orange tones make me look more sallow, it didn't suit me. This would be a great powder for someone who gets a lift from a slightly orange toned powder.
i'm putting this up for swap if you'd like it.. basically - used only once.

A television advertisement promoting the new-look National Basketball League on OneHD has been slammed as racist.
NBL greats Cal Bruton and Leroy Loggins are angry the commercial portrays a black American player as a womaniser.
NBL stars show-off their skills during the ad within a domestic setting. The action culminates with new Sydney Kings recruit Taj McCullough landing between a couple in bed.
McCullough then makes a move toward the woman as the shot cuts away.
Bruton, a former Boomers player, told Brisbane's Courier Mail that the vision was 'below the belt'.a
"The only black American seen in the clip is hopping into bed with a white couple and what does that have to do with basketball?
Bruton says he was shocked when he first saw the clip and felt he wasn't the only naturalised Australian to feel that way.
Former Brisbane Bullet Leroy Loggins told The Mail the bedroom image was a "sad" attempt at humour.
"Why not show him with a group of kids teaching them how to shoot the ball," Loggins said.
Earlier this year a KFC advertisement that shows an Australian cricket supporter giving fried chicken to West Indies fans caused an outrage in the US.
The ad is currently still on-air.

text: Here are some pictures of my family enjoying the fireworks this year. They had a lot of fun as we watching the firecrackers on our motorcycle track. We are very fortunate to have a nice dirt area that we can do this on. The boys took turns lighting them off. It was funny watching them running around trying to get as much lit as possible. We are careful though.

Astraqom Launches PinoyKubo Social Network for Global Filipinos and Filipinas
Astraqom announced on August 2nd, official launch of social network PinoyKubo with over 50,000 friendships already. The online community includes Philippines expats, businesses and students in country and abroad, plus those who enjoy The Philippines.
Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Astraqom, a world leading provider of online community platforms leveraging IP communications, announced on August 2, 2011, the official launch of the social network PinoyKubo. The platform, began in beta form in mid 2011, and in just three months, has over 50,000 friendships. The popular online community's audience, membership, and market include Filipina and Filipino expatriates, business people and students who are in the Philippines as well as abroad. It also is popular with those who are in a position to develop business with those in the Philippines and those who wish to learn Tagalog and/or just be immersed in the exciting Philippines world culture.
"Tuloy po kayo sa PinoyKubo" means more than just a 'Welcome to PinoyKubo'.' To the PinoyKubo socialite and developer team, it represents the many hours of work dedicated to building our unique social media site. It is a reminder of how very multi-talented, colorful, bright and stimulating the people, architecture, music, business, games, movies, books, schools, science and more are to the world. We want to share opportunities with others to collaborate in entrepreneurship, entertainment, arts and other areas via PinoyKubo," stated Jonathan Sowah, founder of PinoyKubo.
A key part of the mission of PinoyKubo is to power up all involved with a combination of technology and the unique culture of the people of The Philippines. It is a unique harmony that provides more than just a basic social media encounter. It is a celebration of the strong social bonds that are evident among friends and family among and with The Philippines people.
PinoyKubo aims to build a robust social platform with goals of boosting its participants to fulfill short and long term social and entrepreneurial goals with the social media site's features and tools. The PinoyKubo Team realize the universal needs of success in people's lives, beginning with the most important:
1) Make friends to collaborate with.
2) Be appreciated for one's talents, accomplishments and abilities.
3) Discover and employ new methods and tools to reach social and business (also may be entrepreneurial and financial) goals.
"Pinoy Kubo is cool! We just can't simply underestimate the skills and capabilities of Filipinos. The PinoyKubo site is another reason why we should be proud to be Filipinos. In Pinoy Kubo, we will be able to meet friends, keep in touch with them, and share anything with them. I hope this will be a big success. I have some suggestions for additions and changes with the developer and social team to make it feel more original and Filipino/Filipina. More power and God bless, Pinoy Kubo," shared Llot Lee, a new collaborator on PinoyKubo.
"Businesses and other organizations can elicit immeasurable opportunities that differentiate them from others by being seen as a champion of PinoyKubo in the eyes of its loyal global community. These groups can get involved via sponsorships, ads, partnering options, and special events, and be an important part of 2011 and future image and branding. The supporting groups will increase a positive social image among this exponentially increasing number of focused global users. Companies who are successful in social media are more likely to be the choice of where consumers choose to spend their money," added Suzanne Bowen, vice president of marketing and business development for PinoyKubo. "Some organizations who are already taking part or who have been discussed as a very important vendor or purveyor of services or products on PinoyKubo or by PinoyKubo members are Astraqom, Manuel S. Enverga University, Virtual Phone Line, Globe Telecom, Smart Communications, and Sun Cellular."
PinoyKubo asks for suggestions of how to improve the user experience and suggstions of interesting Filipinas and Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad who its Team can interview for its Inspirational Heroes Project at firstname.lastname@example.com. Plans are in place for PinoyKubo users' virtual stores where they can buy and sell with each other via Paypal, a comprehensive game archive with over 14,000 different games and activities, and other social-oriented and fun activities available. More information will be shared in future press releases.

"It is remarkable that the man who coordinated planning for the Operations Torch, Husky, Avalanche and Overlord; who negotiated the end of the hostilities with Italy and Germany; and whom Eisenhower, Marshall, and Churchill fought to keep for themselves, is so often overlooked among the pantheon of war heroes. Just as remarkable, however, is D.K.R. Crosswell's long-awaited work on the life of General Smith." Armchair General"

Zabecki, author of Chief of Staff: The Principal Staff Offices Behind History's Great Commanders"
"This biography of Walter Bedell Smith... is one of the best." New York Journal of Books"

"A very fine book. Crosswell's impeccable scholarship and graceful narration bring to life not only Beetle Smith, among the most remarkable officers in the history of the U.S. Army, but the world and war on which he made his mark." Rick Atkinson, author of The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 19431944"
" Beetle is a splendid biography of one of World War II's major figures. Crosswell brilliantly recreates Walter Bedell Smith's life and role as Dwight Eisenhower's right hand man. Insightful, compassionate and a terrific read."Carlo D'Este, author of Patton: A Genius For War and Warlord: A Life of Winston Churchill at War"
"It is a striking book." Thomas E. Ricks, author of Best Defense Bookshelf: Meet the 'Beetle'"
"Crosswell leaves no stone unturned in recapturing the spirit of the man who stood behind Eisenhower to offer him hope and encouragement during his darkest hours in the war." WWII History"
"This definitive bio of Ike's chief of staff chronicles his many pivotal (and, the author argues, vastly underrated and misunderstood) role." World War II"
"A major contribution to the history of World War II." Foreign Affairs"
"This well-researched biography moves along well and belongs on every World War II bookshelf." The Past in Review"
"Crosswell's Beetle captures the essence of Smith's fifty years in government service.... Without question, this book is required for any future study of the American military participatioon in the Second World War." Teaching History"
"There is no doubt that Beetle....will be the definitive biography of Walter Bedell Smith. It is an exhaustive and thorough study, carefully researched and well-written."Bowling Green Daily News"
"Smith's significant contributions to the Allied war effort receive little, if any, discussion today... Author D.K.R. Crosswell has rectified this omission in his superb biography"On Point"
