Still a classic after all these years TURTLE POWER
|Posted by Suzicueball 2 years, 3 months ago
You gotta admit this is before it's time and I think it might be a little underrated.I mean the turtle FX and animatronics are from the Jim Henson Creature shop. The action scenes are awesome and the story is good. The turtles all have their own issues and talk all surfer dude. They're funny. This one has CASEY JONES. If you like the new one please watch this one. Promise you'll enjoy it.

As a kid growing up watching the Ninja Turtle cartoons then going outside to play with my brother with a broom handle pretending i was Donatello while wearing my TMNT trainers and back pack, this show left me with fond memories and when the film finally came out i had not been so excited since Back to the Future Part II . Turtles in a half shell turtle power!!

Well I'm almost 30 years old, and I will still sit and watch these movies 1,2 & 3 though the third is not my favourite... after watching these films it always takes me back to my childhood times where things were simpler. The sound track alone was one of the best EVER.
|Posted by Washburn1 5 years, 8 months ago
The first two turtles movies will always be the best, but F*cK the third one.
|Posted by Bloodflame 2 years, 4 months ago
I haven't seen the newest version yet, but just based on the trailers I've seen it doesn't strike me as nearly as good as this. Definitely what I'd consider a classic.
|Posted by flip_nutt 2 years, 5 months ago
Definitely still better than what's out now. classic!

Three thoughts on the Timbers' 2-1 away win at Seattle
Three thoughts on Portland's 2-1 win at Seattle in the first leg of the MLS quarterfinals:
1) This was exactly what Portland wanted. If you had any questions about Portland's readiness for its first MLS playoff game, the Timbers answered them early with a razor-sharp goal by Ryan Johnson to put Seattle under pressure from the start. The Timbers may not have as much overall talent as Seattle, but Portland's chemistry is infinitely better right now. Evidence to that fact was provided in the understanding Caleb Porter's players showed throughout the game, including on the exchange between Kalif Alhassan and Darlington Nagbe that led to Nagbe's back-breaker goal in the second half. What's more, Portland's centerback pairing of Futty Danso and Pa-Modou Kah was much steadier than their Seattle counterparts, and goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts continued to be in good form. While Seattle's late goal from Osvaldo Alonso will make things more interesting in the second leg, Porter couldn't have asked for much more from this road game that didn't feel like a road game for his team.
ABNOS: Revolution pick up crucial home win against Sporting KC
2) Seattle's slide continues. There's something that doesn't feel right about this Sounders team, which has underperformed mightily in recent weeks, winning just once in its last nine games. Centerbacks Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Djimi Traoré were a step slow on both Portland goals, and while goal-scorer Alonso was terrific all over the field on Saturday, the rest of the midfield just wasn't good enough as a unit. Say what you want about Seattle' change to a diamond midfield, but Sigi Schmid has yet to figure out a way to use Clint Dempsey's talents to their full potential since he arrived. Combine that with subpar games by Eddie Johnson and Lamar Neagle, and Seattle found itself struggling to create many chances. It almost felt like the boisterous home crowd willed the Sounders to their late lifeline goal, but it's going to be awfully hard to win down in Portland on Thursday. 3) Thus ends a night of NFL lines. There were two MLS playoff games in two NFL stadiums on Saturday night, one in Seattle and one in New England. Both were marred by the presence of football lines. In my opinion they didn't ruin the games, but they did feel like a gut punch to soccer fans after seeing all the gains made by American soccer and MLS in recent years. For those of us who watched MLS in the 1990s, it was a return to the bad old days when we thought we had advanced beyond them in the years of MLS 2.0. If anything, it's a reminder that there are still a lot of gains to be made in the years ahead. MLS can do better than this.

2016 NCAA tournament team previews: Fresno State Bulldogs
As part of its preview of the 2016 NCAA men's basketball tournament, SI.com is taking a look at all 68 teams in the field. RPI and SOS data from realtimerpi.com. Adjusted offense and defense statistics are from kenpom.com and measure the number of points scored and allowed per 100 possessions, and the team's national rank. All other advanced stats are also from kenpom.com (unless noted otherwise) and are through March 14.
Record: 25–9
Adjusted offensive/defensive efficiency: 106.2 (124th)/100.3 (100th)
Seed: Midwest No. 14
Impact Player: Marvelle Harris, senior, guard. 20.6 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 4.4 APG
• MORE: Make your picks in SI's Bracket Challenge
The Case For: Fresno State has one of the longest active winning streaks in the country at nine games and has a first-round matchup against a Utah team that lost its last game by 31 points to Oregon. The Ducks were the best team the Bulldogs faced this season, and Fresno State only lost by five points in a true road game.
The Bulldogs have the fifth-most experience of any tournament team and they're led by a 2,000-point scorer in Harris. Plus, they're great at limiting turnovers on offense (14.9%, 13th nationally) and forcing them on defense (20.8%, 37th nationally).
The Case Against: Besides turnover-related metrics, advanced statistics are rather indifferent towards Fresno State. The Bulldogs take care of the ball but they have an effective field-goal percentage of 48.2%, which ranks among the bottom third in the country. And while Fresno State has stingy steal and block rates, its defensive efficiency ranks just 100th. This group is very average in terms of rebounding and three-point shooting.
The Bulldogs send their opponents to the free-throw line more often than most teams in the country, which doesn't bode well for them against Utah and stud big man Jakob Poeltl.
SI prediction: Lose to No. 3 Utah in the first round.

CrazyCay: "Mint-Choc-Chip with a buttery swirl, please"
"Mint-Choc-Chip with a buttery swirl, please!" I stared at the customer across the counter as my eyebrows scrunched in confusion.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"Mint-Choc-Chip with a buttery swirl! Gosh, are you deaf?" The customer crossed their arms and started tapping their foot impatiently. I coughed in order to hide a laugh that threatened to ruin my customer service record.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but this is a toy store. Maybe you mean Quick-Licks down the street? The Ice-Cream store?"
"No! I want the mint-choc-chip with a buttery swirl! And you better get it right. Now!" I stared in awe at the pushy customer. One of my hands hovered over the emergency button, and the other over my cellphone. I had a feeling that this woman was either insane, or seriously stupid. Once again, I told the lady that she was in a toy store.
"Don't sass me missy! I know where I am, do you?" Now I was simply confused. I pushed the emergency button which set off a small dinging noise in my manager's office. He came running, sweat brimming on his forehead.
"What!? What is it?" He said, walking around to my side of the counter. I smiled to the customer then turned to him.
"She keeps asking for a mint-choc-chip with a buttery swirl." I said, "I don't know what to do!" Scott, my manager, turned to the woman and smiled his I'm-extremely-happy-even-though-I-hate-Mondays-and-customers award winning grin.
"Ma'am, could you clarify for us exactly what you need?"
"I've already told this young girl here exactly what I need! A Mint-Choc-Chip with a buttery swirl!"
Scott's grin wavered, but he was able to keep it on. "A mint-choc-chip what, exactly?"
"That! Right there!" The woman pointed behind me to the wall full of toys that we werent allowed to put out on the shelves. Finally, I realized what she needed. When I turned around I found our newest (and lamest if I may add) action figure. It was Captain Mint-Choc-Chip with his greatest weapon, the buttery swirl. I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being so stupid! How could I have missed that?!
Unfortunately, the woman thought I was laughing at her, and she left before she could buy the toy. It's too bad, because it became very expensive within the next few years, I saw one sell for a million dollars! Stupid people.

The Pro-Form 520 ZN is very well-made. The base is sturdy and the belt is wide enough to run on with plenty of room to move. The speed and incline adjust at the push of a button. The programs are easy to use and add variety to the workouts. I really like plugging in my I-pod and having all my favorite music right there.
We have only had the treadmill for one week, but I am confident we made a wise choice and purchased a well-made product that will last many years.
We did get very frustrated with the Home Delivery and Assembly service. The main issue with this service is their lack of communication. The trucking/delivery service needs to improve on this and communicate with the customer from the date of pickup from Walmart to the home delivery date. We were beginning to wonder if we were ever going to get our product. However, the assembly team was very professional and did a great job. This is a great feature as my husband does not like putting things together, and the product is really heavy. Well worth the wait!
I bought this treadmill about 5 months ago and have used it 10-15 times. The last 5 times or so it has started squeaking whenever you adjust the incline. So far, that is my ONLY dislike. I love that you can customize it by your personal weight, workout length and # of calories that you would like to burn. I don't like have to change the speed and incline myself every few minutes. I'm hoping to purchase the iFit live module soon so that I can create a workout exactly the way I want! That will be awesome.
Not too noisy, compared to treadmills I've used in the past
Very large and clear display
Automatic workouts change every minute (keeps me from getting bored)
Wide track
Folds up very easily
Nice speakers
Not so good:
Squeaks when adjusting incline
Fan only blows on you if you are right up next to the front
Heart rate monitor isn't very accurate
Good value overall.
1. Very heavy, about a 1.5 hr assembly time, 2 people. Do not pull the black wire tie thing out of the left leg!!! It serves a purpose, I found out after I pulled it through but it all worked out anyway. It is used to pull the connector through for the display module.
2. Lots of features, fan, speakers, etc.
3. The treadmill operation itself is very quiet, however, when you start running on it the shocks are hard plastic and they slam over and over onto the bottom deck. This is way noisier than the treadmill itself. You think they could have come up with something a little more quiet with all the technology these days.
For the money not bad, but I have only had it a week so we will see in the long run.
To be honest after the reviews I saw about this treadmill I was ready to tell my husband to take it back. All I wanted was a treadmill that was QUIET! I had purchased a Pro Form many years ago, with the warranty from Wal Mart/Sam's Club. The first Pro Form I purchased kept calibrating and I called the warranty company and they asked me how much I use the treadmill, l said everyday and asked me how much I weigh...yikes! I am not over weight.. LOL. They honestly said we cannot send someone to fix it so they sent me my $500.00 back. Really this is true...this treadmill has been running for probably 15 years plus after they sent my money back. So, within the last six moths the treadmill was still so loud. OK for awhile but the smell was there everyday. I said, I think I deserve a new treadmill. So...I could not believe how quit this treadmill is and I am extremely happy. The fan is not that good, but oh well.
Recently purchased this treadmill in June. Treadmill was in stock so I was able to take it home the same day I purchased it. My husband & son brought box in house for me. I basically put it together myself without any problems & took me a little over an hour to do. This is my first time buying a treadmill for at home use. I love how it automatically changes the speed & incline in the pre workouts & it also gives a warning sound when speed is about to change. I love that its ifit compatible but wished it came with an ifit module. I will be buying the ifit module soon.
I spend a decent amount of time researching treadmills before purchasing this one. After getting it home I opened the box in my van and brought all the small parts in first. I was able to bring the motor/base in on my own (5' 10" 190lbs, 43 years old). I had my 10 year old son "assist" me putting this together and it took somewhere in the range of 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours. I have worked as a mechanic and have worked on computer equipment so I know how to use a wrench and screw driver. Everything assembled well but I had some concerns.
1. The Wire harness barely made it to the top of the left arm, When I finally plugged it into the console, the console wire was long enough so it all worked out.
2. I seemed to have some issues with bolts on the right side. I felt I had to give it a bit more elbow grease. (and yes, everything was lined up) The screws used could have been better quality or machine screws.
The advertising stated it had a "2.8 HP Mach Z Motor" but the box states it is a "2.25 CHP motor", when I brought this to the attention of Icon (the manufacturer) customer service, they explained it is the same motor. So compare prices with other 2.25 CHP motors. Walmart offers the older model (Golds Gym, also made by Icon) for $79 less! Also check the equivalent NordicTrac model at Sears. Also go to the Icon website to see they manufacture many different brands, comparison shop!
So far I really have no complaints about the treadmill except maybe for the fan. It sounds like it is rubbing against something. Plugging your ipod into it required a Stereo audio cable, it is not like a dock/ipod cable end. I understood that when I purchased it but it's probably something you should know if you don't have one. Personally, earphones are probably better.
I haven't tried out Ifit so I cannot comment on that but it sounds like an interesting feature. Aside from that, the treadmill has several programs and I find the Speed/Incline buttons on the console to be convenient. Overall I am happy with the product, I hope to return after using it for a while to complete the picture.
We bought this treadmill at our local Walmart store about a month ago. My husband did most of the unloading because this was REALLY HEAVY and we took it upstairs too! Assembly took about an hour and a half and I helped hold parts in place. It has been working perfectly ever since. I walk 4-5 times a week and use the incline and sometimes a program. My husband does the same. We have both been very happy with it. The fan is not great, but not a big deal. We turn it off and unplug it after every use, a treadmill technician said to do this bc it protects it from power surges/outages (which we have many in East Tenn). I recommend this treadmill. We did buy the extra warranty since I had read these reviews that were all over the map from great to terrible.
You can get similar treadmills for this price range with a better motor. If you notice, the motor is advertised as 2.8 hp, but it's really a 1.8 CHP motor. (you can contact Proform, they will verify this) For the same price, you can get a 2.25 CHP motor from their other models. If oyu plan on walking only, this may be for your but you should just get the better model for the same price.
Treadmill is very sturdy. My husband weighs 220 and was able to run on a incline with no problems. Just as previous reviews, it really takes two people to build it. It is a little time consuming ( took us a little over an hour ) to put it together. I would recommend to put a rug or mat underneath it because it will scratch your floors.
I would recommend this to other people. This treadmill compares to a professional one.
After looking around at BrandSmart and Sears, I noticed the the price of this treadmill at Wal-Mart was very good compared to equivalents at the other stores. Moreover, you could actually buy this treadmill on the spot and take it home the same day, as apposed to the 1-2 weeks delivery times/plus $charges.
Building the treadmill wasn't very difficult and took about 90 minutes. It is quiet and comfortable to run on with plenty of cushion. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read.
Over all I am very satisfied. Hopefully, it will last longer then my Gold's Gym 480.
First, the side was cracked when we got it. It was only cosmetic so it wasn't worth the return. Second, the reason I wanted this treadmill was because it came with the ifit programs. Found out that you have to pay $10 a month to actually use them. REALLY? Not happy about that at all but still not ready to return. After the fourth use the belt slid sideways and was not usable. I'm not adjusting a belt on a treadmill I JUST GOT! Back to walmart it went!!! I'm trying to get my old treadmill back that I sold before I got this one. Hope I can. It was a Golds Gym! I'll be going back to them one way or another!
So this a good treadmill so far. For 600 bucks it better be. Assembly was no problem for just one person. Its very sturdy and easy to use. 2 people to get the thing into the house would be better but I managed to muscle it in on my own. Other than that I assembled it by myself in about an hour. I would recommend this to most anyone. Its very robust and the manufacture warranties the motor for 25 long years and the frame forever. One year on everything else.
Seems to be exactly what we were looking for so far. Husband is in the 215 lb range and can easily rub on it, without the belt slipping, and it has shocks, so the treadmill doesn't shake the whole house when he runs.
Picked up yesterday and hubby had it put together in less than 2 hours. A few screws were pretty tight getting in, but otherwise had no real problems with setup. I read through the user's guide last night and got on this morning intending to do about 45 minutes, 4.2 mph, at variable inclines. I tried to set the 'Set-a-Goal" workout, but when I pressed Go, it had me walking 2.5 mpg on 5% incline; too slow, too high. I tried to change it, it stopped, I got frustrated. All I wanted to do was walk, so I manually input the speed and incline. With a little time, I expect to get the programming down pat. The treadmill has a very loud squeak; I will try adjusting the mat to see if there's rubbing somewhere. I was disappointed to see there is no ledge to set my Kindle on so I can watch Netflix. It's not a BIG deal, but it would be nice to have. The fan is not adjustable and can only be felt if you walk close to the monitor, which is not possible because that's where the tread begins. I am short (5'3") and when I grasp the bars to measure my heart rate or just to hold on, it brings me too close to the start of the tread so I must really watch where I am walking. All of that being said though, I felt like I got a good walk and the mechanisms seemed to work well, other than the loud squeaking. I use our work gym 3 times a week so I'm used to better equipment, but the ProForm will suit my needs perfectly and allow me to continue walking at home during bad weather and allergy season. This is a sturdy machine with a wide, long tread that will allow me to increase my workout and better my health without having spent a fortune. If you want high-end gym equipment, this is not it. If you want a workout on a good piece of equipment that won't break the bank, you may like this.
I bought this treadmill at the Walmart on East Franklin Blvd in Gastonia, NC. The assembler there was awesome, I bought it on a Thursday night and he had it ready for me on that Saturday like he promised. I love the fact that I can connect my iPod to this treadmill and listen to the music through its speakers instead of putting earphones on. It's definitely less of a hassle. It also has a 2 setting fan which puts it over the top of the cheap treadmills because others usually do not have one. The belt is pretty quiet and I love that it is wide enough to have me and my small dog on it at the same time! I posted a video of me and my dog on the treadmill to prove that we use it together. Enjoy!
This is a great Treadmill nice and heavy. It took my son to put it together because I couldn't even get the bottom out of the box. I am using it everyday. It is well worth the money and fit in the spot I needed it to be. Very well made.
Pros: Basic enough for a beginner. Built sturdy. Has iPod plug in. Perfect size, wide enough belt. Overall look is okay.
Cons: The cup holder area could be better suitable. The fan stinks, no other way to put it. The big metal beams could have been made more appealing (bolts show at bottom). I personally don't like the red writing, looks cheap.
Overall, I think it is a good buy for the price. It does what I need it to. Most of my cons were only details, nothing to do with the treadmill's function.
First let me say that Walmart should put in the details that in order to get this assembled at home - after you have paid $99 - you have to receive a call from another company who will arrange the assembly date. The delivery date that Walmart give you upon purchase IS NOT the date of assembly unless it is confirmed by the assembly company. Using the tracking link, I had booked a time slot for delivery (they give you options for morning or afternoon slots) online and thought that was all that I needed to do! BEWARE, if you miss that call, or do not receive their message you will waste a day off work like I did waiting for my delivery. I asked the assembly company where the detail about arranging assembly is shown and they confirmed that it is NOT on either their tracking website or Walmart's! This really requires attention from the Walmart sales team.
Consequently, assembly was rearranged a few days later [requiring another day off from work : ( ] but the technician was courteous and efficient and put it up in about 30 minutes, and answered all my questions and explained a few additional things to me.
The treadmill has worked excellently over the past 4 days since I've had it. It is quiet, easy to use, has good pre-programmed workouts and some other iPhone features that I don't plan to use. The fan is a nice idea but not very effective. There is a backlight on the panel but it is not very bright; I run before dawn and wanted to do so without turning on the overhead light, but I found that I couldn't see the details under the graphic well enough without the extra light. I have only had it for a minute so I cannot comment on durability.
If you can get this in a sale ($577 or less) you should be very pleased! Overall, I am pleased with my investment and look forward to reuniting with the healthy me that I haven't seen for 2 years!
I love site to store. That made it very easy to get this.
As far as the tredmill goes, for the money it is fairly good. My husband and I put it together as expected, with a minimal amount of fuss. My husband likes the pre programed workouts, I like to set my own pace, so as far as that goes it works well. I'm tall so when you get to the higher incline it doesn't give a confortable hand rest.
The heartbeat monitor should not be relied on. It clocked my towel at 45 beats a minute, last night. All that being said it makes it easy to get in the habit of using it everyday and that is why we bought it.
It was a bit of a task to put together but not difficult. Love it! There are 16 different workouts because there are 8 times and 8 calorie counts. The 16 is a combination of these. Its a great deal. The incline is such a great workout and it works with ifit.

Into hellMature
After the first missile went off , a car slammed into ours sending a back tires skidding. Luckily Cindy somehow did the right things keeping our vehicle true. Another explosive went off sending the car in the air. I don't what drove me to do it I just did. I unbuckleled and jumped out of the car door. For a few more moments I linger in the air not hearing a sound then I hit the ground and keep rolling. I was winded and it felt like I was taking forever to get my breath back. I saw the car further down the street upslide dowin beaten with my door missing. I got my breath back and began to run , I needed to get them out.I peered into the car they were beaten and sorta tossed around just getting the barings. Down the street I heard more cars the helicopter was flying overhead trying to get a view from the smoke.
" Come on we need to get out!" I yell unbuckling seatbelts and dragging whoever was in shock out we. I heard Roses motorcycle upahead,
"I've found an abandonned place up the street. We might be able to slip in for a moment undetected." I nodded and she drove out into the smoke we found the place just as agents and other idiots with guns started flooding the streets. The door was metal and we braced with multiple items to keep it from opening.
I looked back down the hall and saw the mess I saw when I first woke up. Not a good place to hide they might suspect I'll come back.

Golden Globe contenders a complicated bunch
By Stephen Galloway
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.'s decision to divvy up its Golden Globe nominations among a slew of pictures has made the task of predicting winners at the January 11 event all the harder. So where do the leading candidates stand?
Three movies tied for most nominations with five apiece: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Frost/Nixon" and "Doubt." That would seem to make "Button" and "Frost/Nixon" the best bets for best picture (drama) ("Doubt" wasn't nominated) and hence the early front-runners for Academy Awards.
In fact, handicapping the Globes race is much more complicated.
"Button" is undoubtedly toward the top of the pack. It is a big, epic adventure of the sort Hollywood hardly ever pulls off anymore. (The HFPA deemed that another epic, "Australia," didn't pull it off at all, shutting it out of the nominations.) The fact that it also earned nominations for writing and directing is indicative of its strength across the board. An even louder signal comes from Brad Pitt's nomination for best actor (drama), as that category is widely viewed as the most competitive this year, and Pitt beat out such strong contenders as Michael Sheen ("Frost/Nixon"), Benicio Del Toro ("Che") and Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor").
That's the good news. On the negative side for "Button," awards season darling Cate Blanchett got spurned; the film's admirers have not been as fervent in their accolades as they have for some of the other contenders; and the HFPA has rarely been as swayed by the sheer scope of a movie as Oscar voters, many of whom come from the technical/crafts side that makes such scope possible.
So look to "Button" as a strong contender, but by no means a lock.
Another major player is a movie that didn't get any acting nominations, usually critical to awards success. "Slumdog Millionaire" is one off the lead in terms of its total nominations with four, but it is a much stronger best drama candidate than the numbers might indicate.
For one thing, it got nominated in the same two crucial areas as "Button": director and screenplay. Its fourth nomination, for its original score by Bollywood legend A.R. Rahman, is also telling. Since 1994, every movie that has taken home the best drama prize has also been nominated for original score. But most importantly, "Slumdog" earned nominations in pretty much every category in which it was a serious contender. That it received no acting nominations is hardly a surprise; few expected the movie's best-known actors, Dev Patel and Irfan Khan, to be recognized for their roles. So put down "Slumdog" as a leading rival. Continued...

Hi, All,
I have some strange issue which I recently noticed in my computer. I am currently using Acrobat 6.0 Professional in Windows XP professional operating system. The problem is my acrobat.exe process stays and keep running even after I close the acrobat application. I am having this problem while I run the application in stand alone mode as well as while using inside an external application like IE.
Does any one has similar problem? Is there any solution or patch available for this?

Pedro e Angela sao otimoa anfitriões,nos fizeram sentir como em casa. Um cafe da manha muito bom.
A casa linda e o quarto onde ficamos tambem,apenas notamos ausencia de um ventilador,ja que fazia calor e ao abrir a janela entravam bichos,mas tirando isso,tudo otimo.
Recomendaria com certeza.
We have a very nice time with Pedro and Angela.
They were very kind and hospitable.
The house was fine en breakfast and dinner were delicious.
The setting is also very nice .
We go back again !!!
Peter en Lia
The hosts live in a wonderful house and the room is also very beautiful. We felt welcome and home from the first second. We really recommend to have to dinner at their home, very fresh and delicious portuguese food. Also the two children were very kind. Everyday with the family is very harmonic. The distance to the beach is good with the car and you can discover a lot of places. We didn't want to leave...
We surely come back to the Algarve and we already know where to stay :)
We had a great time with Angela and Pedro and their children. They are a very kind and warm people. They care a lot about their guests and threat them like their family. The breakfasts were prepared with a lot of care. We had also our privacy.
We would recommend them to everyone and we wish them all the best and hope to see them again.
Angela and Pedro are very warm and caring hosts, their kids just lovely. They all made us feel at home immediately. Room and bathroom (en suite) are huge and furnished in a very tasteful style, we didn't miss anything on breakfast.
Everything was just perfect (apart from the wheather in January...)!
Once again: thank you so much, Angela and Pedro, hope to see you again soon!
Pedro and Angela, are very special People. They where very kind and helpful. We enjoyed having Dinner with them and they are both great cooks and Pedro and Angela are just perfect in several European languages. There has been no situation in witch they had no time or ear for us. The House is beautiful and everything has been nicely and well done. We enjoyed there kindness a lot. So we hope other people will get to Cero Azul to. Thanks Christa and Albert
Just one word: superb !!! Give it a try...xxx to Angela & Pedro & the kids...from Brigitte & Benny from DIest (Belgium).
This year a very good holiday in Portugal, mostly because of Angela & Pedro. They have a beautiful accommodation and put a lot of effort in giving you that really "holiday-feeling". Bedroom and bathroom are very good and comfortable. Breakfast and if you want diner are more than excellent. A wonderful holiday to remember.
I have read many positive evaluations about this place and now that we have spent our vacation there – I have to say they are all true. We had a great time and felt like a part of the family. Especially for our daughter (2,5 Years old) it was a lot of fun, because the kids of the host family were around the same age and they welcomed us in a very friendly and open hearted way (the same way their parents did). All we can say now after this great vacation: Thank you very much and we hope to get a chance to meet you again in one of our future vacations.
With great pleasure, we have stayed in the accomodation of Pedro and Angela. They welcomed us with a lot of love and friendliness. They do everything to give their guests a good time!
The facilities are hygienic, the room is spacious, and they are always up for a nice conversation. The breakfast is delicious and definitely the dinner which they offer for a small contribution is a higly recommended!

Dear Diary:
It's been rather difficult to adjust back to England, especially after getting accustomed to the country, and then having to come back to London. Cars still frighten me, and I wish for my trusty charger.
Everything seems different, somehow. We came back from the Professor's house only yesterday, and even though I've lived in London my entire life, I was still more at ease in the country. It was more like Narnia, I suppose.
Even Mum seems different, although perhaps it's only the way I view her. Seems we're older, now, and we can understand her better than the children we seem to be are supposed to. She's confused, especially when she looks into Peter's eyes. That she sees his soul there at all surprises her, I think—he was always so reserved. But it must be strange to see the soul, not of her shy, timid boy, but a grown man. He's grown up—grown into a king. He's fought witches, battled ogres and minotaurs, and defeated giants. I seriously doubt she'd believe us if we told her that, though. Better to let her think he grew up from the horrors of war and the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings. In some ways, it's true. Wars—several, in fact—did shape him into the man he was. And caring for us, his siblings, as we grew from children to adults did figure into it. Of course, so did King Lune's wise counsel and Pete's extensive diplomatic experience. We aren't lying to Mum—just not giving her all the details. She doesn't need to know. She wouldn't understand.
She thinks we need to sleep eight hours! Doesn't she realize we used to fall asleep in the wee hours of the morning, having danced with dryads and fauns all night? Of course she doesn't. Not only do our tender years require eight hours of undisturbed sleep in a room lit by one of those awful night-lights, but we need a cup of warm milk before bed! Once I slipped up and told her I'd rather have spiced wine. Thankfully, she thought I was joking. Peter was looking daggers at me behind her back, and I hope I didn't look too frightened.
My old wounds have been aching again. I never had this much trouble with them in Narnia—perhaps because it was mainly sunny there. Here in England it's always cold and damp—even in summer.
The strange thing is that I have no wounds. They hurt terribly, but they aren't there. The place where the Witch stabbed me with her broken wand is as smooth and clear as the rest of my body. Yet whenever I move, the old pain begins—burning and throbbing. Not exactly helpful when I'm signed up for the rugby team.
Speaking of scars, only yesterday I got into a fight—I was sorely provoked, I'll have you know—and I broke my nose. Unfortunately, Mum was there, and at the sight of all the blood gushing from my nose, she looked rather sick. So did Su, but Lu just calmly reached over and stopped the bleeding with her handkerchief while Peter set it. This is the twentieth time I've broken my nose, so this is routine procedure.
Mum, however, insisted on taking me to the doctor and having me carefully examined.
"By the Mane, this is too much!" exclaimed Lucy in exasperation. "He'll be all right. We've all done—" Peter's hand clamped over her mouth and she said no more.
Imagine Mum's surprise when the doctor said, "You should be a surgeon, Peter. I've done worse work than this. How did you learn?"
Peter's eyes filled with tears, but his voice shook only slightly as he said, "I suppose I have a natural talent." We all know better. He's set my nose nineteen times in Narnia, not to mention centaur legs and even a leopard's jaw. We were hardly going to tell the doctor that.
It's so hard to be a child again!

After receiving my 10" Edgetek triple grit sharpener I started with my small pocket knife. After a few strokes using all sides I had a super sharp, better than new blade. Then I went to my large Buck nighthawk with factory edge and honed it into a scary sharp yet durable edge. This is by far the best,easiest to use sharpener I've ever used.
I bought this sharpener about a year ago and I am happy to report that I am incredibly happy with it. I have not met a knife that it wont sharpen and when it sharpens them its enough to shave the hair off my arms. This is an expensive sharpener but it is well worth the money I promise.

Gray Wolf Conservation and Management
WDFW Action Criteria
Since 2011, the Washington Wolf Conservation and Management Plan has served as a framework for state efforts to manage the state's growing wolf population. That plan, which reflects endangered species laws as well as public comments received from thousands of people around the state, has defined the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's (WDFW) policies on such issues as:
In most cases, however, the state plan left WDFW to determine how to put these policies into action. It did not, for example, define precisely what types of technical assistance WDFW should provide to livestock producers or how many times a wolf must attack livestock before it is subject to lethal deterrence.
To answer those and other questions, WDFW has worked with the citizen's Wolf Advisory Group to define those operational steps to ensure its management actions are both consistent with the state plan and transparent to the public. Key guidelines include:
In May 2015, the Department doubled the membership of the Wolf Advisory Group and began a process to bring the WAG stakeholders and Department staff together to re-engage on key issues and to reach a sufficient consensus on recommendations to the Department on wolf management policies. Also in May, the expanded WAG had its first meeting with Francine Madden, a consultant with Human Wildlife Conflict Collaboration, who was retained to help reduce the conflict that had surrounded wolf management in Washington state. Since then, the WAG members and a diversity of Department staff, from field biologists to managers, met six times, and along the way reconciled relationships, learned about each other's values and needs, and worked hard toward positive outcomes.
The current protocol reflects a wide range of values and extensive participation from livestock producers, environmental groups, and hunting advocates. It also reflects the Department of Fish and Wildlife's commitment to do everything we can to understand and respond to public values and community concerns regarding wolf recovery. This protocol wasn't created in two days. It required a year-long process that emphasized positive stakeholder relationships, a respectful approach to resolving differences, and a willingness to tackle serious, challenging issues. Through that process, the WAG members and Department staff unanimously agreed to the current protocol, which the Department began operating under on May 31, 2016.

William Hester
Kensington's first 'royal ratkiller'
The accounts of the Lord Chamberlain's department identify William Hester as the first pest controller, who was provided with a 'crimson cloth coate lined with searge and guarded with black velvet'.
A new coat seems to have been provided each year and special liveries were made for mourning. Unfortunately the accounts do not mention any expenses for equipment so we don't know how Hester and his successors went about their work.
Payment was made for the embroidery of Hester's coat on the 'back and breast with our and dearest consort the queens letters and Crownes, and … on the arms with Ratts and wheatsheaves'.

Who should read this report Intellectual Property Professionals Technology Licensing Specialists Product Development Executives Product and Marketing Managers CTOs and Technical Managers Researchers working in the diabetes space Component Manufacturers A high growth and resilient marketThe diabetes care market has historically exhibited strong growth, leading global sales volumes to have increased from US$8.6 billion in 2005 to US$12.4 billion in 2011. This increase is generally being driven by the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the introduction of higher-priced newer technologies such as continuous glucosemonitoring, changing trends in the management of diabetes, and the development of healthcare systems of emerging markets in recent years. Having experienced strong annual growth in the period before 2009, the market slowed considerably, rising by just 1% in that year and by 2% in 2010. Although most product areas continued to generate strong sales volumes, this lower growth was due to weakness in the self monitoring blood glucose market as a result of lower sales volumes and pricing pressure in the US due to the economic slowdown. Since 2010, the diabetes care market has once again picked up, rising by 6% in 2011. This improvement has been due to renewed growth for self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) products, helped by new product launches in the US but, mainly due to strong demand in emerging markets. The growth rates in the insulin delivery segmentslowed slightly during the year due to pricing pressure for pen needles and a slight slowdown in insulin pump sales as a result of the negative economic environment.

Now that your here..Mature
Max peered into the camera but couldn't get a good look at the little piece of paper in Amanda's hand. He tried looking over her shoulder as she read, "What is that?"
Amanda smiled sarcastically and answered over her shoulder, "Instructions."
"I don't get it," Max said, "it's almost a little creepy."
"No it isn't," Amanda snapped.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say it was from a secret admirer... or a stalker."
She knew her friend was just being a wiseass, and his comment was surely only said in jest, yet the inevitable gooseflesh nonetheless made its way up her arms and down her back. Was someone really stalking her? She unconsciously hugged herself and admonished, "What a terrible thing to say, Max. Is it so out of the realm of possibility that someone out there might be romantically interested in me?"
"Okay, but who?"
Amanda pulled the laptop with her into bed, where she wiggled herself into place, propped by a dozen pillows, and pulled a giant fluffy comforter up to her chest. She thought about it but couldn't think of a possible candidate who might have sent her the lovely necklace. She gave up and smiled into the webcam at Max, "It's a mystery! Kind of romantic, no?"
"Mand," he sometimes called her, though she hated it, "that sort of thing doesn't happen in real life. Romantic secret admirers died with Cary Grant. Now they're just creeps."
She scrunched up her face, "You're so bitter."
"I'm just a realist, Mand."
She settled deeper into the pillows at her back and tucked her arms beneath the comforter, relishing the warmth beneath, "It has been my experience that people who call themselves realists are just assholes."
He chuckled, hoping she was just joking, "I'm serious, Amanda. This cannot be a good thing."
Now she was mad, and allowed her forehead to furrow with deep lines as she scowled into the camera, "Oh. It must be sooooooo awful that a man might find me attractive and send me things. Is that it, Max? Are you offended by my hideous looks?"
"See, this is why this necklace worries me, Mand. You have troubles seeing your true worth, plus I think you have body issues. This little pendant stunt could simply be somebody taking advantage of you."
Pendant stunt? Did he really just call her gift a pendant stunt? She unconsciously fingered the heart at her clavicle and grit her teeth, "Well, thank you, as always, for your unerring faith in me Max."
"Amanda, wait. I --" but his voice was lost as she closed the laptop. The webcam went dormant and the power to the machine shut off entirely. She leaned over the side of her bed and placed the computer on the floor, beside her nightstand. She was ever-so gentle, but the sudden waves of anger prompted her to throw the damn thing against the wall.
Screw Max! What does that arrogant turd know about me, anyway?
She reached out to snap off her light but couldn't reach the lamp. She paused for a moment and thought, That's weird, and then reached out again, this time she really reached for it, stretching out to full extension. She felt her abs quiver in exertion as she struggled to keep her body from falling out of bed. And how would she explain that to the ER doctors if she broke her arm? Just as her fingers brushed the chain her butt suddenly sunk deeper into the mattress.
Amanda sat up straight with a start, "Huh?" Were her box springs about to break? But they were only a few months old! Son of a bitch!
Her temper was interrupted by another swirling sensation, like the feeling she got when experiencing an earthquake: a swaying, seasick dizziness in her stomach. She even put out her arms to steady herself, and suddenly she sunk deeper into the covers, until her gigantic comforter had surrounded her up to her armpits.
At first she was angry, and thought of how she was going to make such a stink at the bedding store where she'd purchased this piece of shit bed. She dropped another couple inches, then another five. All the while her arms were stubbornly crossed at her chest and her jaw was clenched as the fury welled up inside.
And then the anger subsided as she realized the mattress was not moving; she was sinking into a hole in the mattress itself! What the hell? Amanda struggled against the tangle of her covers to pull herself up with her elbows, but her arms sunk into the bedding as if it were made of pudding. There was a quick flash of an instant in second grade, when she was learning to swim, and her head had accidentally gone underwater for about three seconds before the instructor pulled her to the surface. Just a moment in time really, but traumatic enough to stay with her a dozen years later. There was the cold fringe of panic at her temples, throbbing to take over.
She did her best to remain calm; her fear irrational at best, and downright silly. So she gained control of her breathing and ceased struggling in her muddled sheets.
Until it occurred to her that her bed was only a few inches off the floor. Her ass should have touched the rug beneath the bed by now. As she sunk a little more, the comforter encased her mouth and nose and got that drowning feeling again.
Panic rose to her throat and she screamed.

The Complete Works of Robert Browning: Volume XV, with Variant Readings and Annotations
€ 79,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
April 2007
BeschreibungIn the 1880s, the aging Browning showed once again the remarkable versatility of his lyric and narrative talents. Ranging across eras and cultures, the books here reveal his late thoughts about history, myth, legend, faith, love, and desire. He had never been more popular, and the founding of the Browning Society in 1881 expanded both his audience and his sense of his place in English letters. The first title in Volume XV is Dramatic Idylls, Second Series (1880). Taking his subjects from classical history, colonial India, Arabian legend, medieval sorcery, Jewish folk tales, and Greek myth, Browning startles the reader with the rapidity of his thought and the inventiveness of his art. In Jocoseria (1883) Browning's subjects range across time and space from Hebraic legend to the England of the Romantics. Such variety helped attract new readers: Jocoseria was immediately successful, and a second edition was printed in the same year as the first. Although Browning's next volume, Ferishtah's Fancies (1884), was so popular that three editions were printed in less than two years, this artful string of anecdotes and lyrics has attracted little favorable criticism. The materials-- Persian legends and Arabic backgrounds--chimed with the wildly popular Orientalism of FitzGerald's Rubaiyat, Whistler's Peacock Room, and Alma-Tadema's paintings. But the thought was pure Browning in his most optimistic vein, and not at all in tune with the growing pessimism of the day. As always in this series of critical editions, a complete record of textual variants is provided, as well as extensive explanatory notes.
PortraitAllan Dooley is general editor of The Complete Works of Robert Browning and is professor emeritus at Kent State University. David Ewbank is professor emeritus at Kent State University.

Kiss Offer Tim Tebow Football Contract

Kiss are wasting no time making big moves as the owners of an Arena Football League team, offering recently released NFL quarterback Tim Tebow a three-year contract to play for the L.A. Kiss.
Should the record industry be more about the music or the money, and can we blame the mogul execs at the top of the food chain or... ourselves? Gene Simmons thinks it's our fault.
People, let us get this off our chest: Paul Stanley of Kiss kicked off the Dodgers-Red Sox game on Aug. 25 with a performance of the national anthem.
A signed gold-record award presented to Casablanca Records in recognition of selling 500,000 copies of Kiss' eponymous 1974 album has fetched $2,500 on eBay, after being featured on a June 2013 episode of TV's 'Pawn Stars.'
You grew up in the 70's. You lived it to it's fullest from your platform shoes to the bell bottoms and all the way up to your headband and the psychedlic thoughts that swam around in your head underneath. You may think you know everything there is to know, but here's some facts about the Disco music and those that played it that you might not've known... Till Now.
Kiss descended upon the Midwest last weekend for the Rock Fest in Cadott, Wis., and their set Saturday (July 20) included more than the classic hits and a giant, fireball-spewing spider fans have come to expect.
Calgary will be coping with the fallout from June 2013's disastrous floods for months to come, with repairs expected to cost upward of $250 million. It's even wiped out the Kiss concert scheduled for July 13.
Kiss are getting to be the elder statesmen of shock rock, currently celebrating 40 years since their formation and still going strong. In a new interview Gene Simmons says he's not ready to hang up his face paint and dragon boots just yet, revealing that he thinks the band could possibly last another decade.

At the heart of the enormous boom in wine consumption that has taken place in the English-speaking world over the last two decades or so is a fascinating, happy paradox. In the days when wine was exclusively the preserve of a narrow cultural elite, bought either at auctions or from gentleman wine merchants in wing collars and bow-ties, to be stored in rambling cellars and decanted to order by one's butler, the ordinary drinker didn't get a look-in. Wine was considered a highly technical subject, in which anybody without the necessary ability could only fall flat on his or her face in embarrassment. It wasn't just that you needed a refined aesthetic sensibility for the stuff if it wasn't to be hopelessly wasted on you. It required an intimate knowledge of what came from where, and what it was supposed to taste like.
Those were times, however, when wine appreciation essentially meant a familiarity with the great French classics, with perhaps a smattering of other wines—like sherry and port. That was what the wine trade dealt in. These days, wine is bought daily in supermarkets and high-street chains to be consumed that evening, hardly anybody has a cellar to store it in and most don't even possess a decanter. Above all, the wines of literally dozens of countries are available on our market. When a supermarket offers its customers a couple of fruity little numbers from Brazil, we scarcely raise an eyebrow.
It seems, in other words, that the commercial jungle that wine has now become has not in the slightest deterred people from plunging adventurously into the thickets in order to taste and see. Consumers are no longer intimidated by the thought of needing to know their Pouilly-Fume from their Pouilly-Fuisse, just at the very moment when there is more to know than ever before.
The reason for this new mood of confidence is not hard to find. It is on every wine label from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States: the name of the grape from which the wine is made. At one time that might have sounded like a fairly technical approach in itself. Why should native Englishspeakers know what Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay were? The answer lies in the popularity that wines made from those grape varieties now enjoy. Consumers effectively recognize them as brand names, and have acquired a basic lexicon of wine that can serve them even when confronted with those Brazilian upstarts.
In the wine heartlands of France, they are scared to death of that trend—not because they think their wine isn't as good as the best from California or South Australia (what French winemaker will ever admit that?) but because they don't traditionally call their wines Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. They call them Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou or Corton-Charlemagne, and they aren't about to change. Some areas, in the middle of southern France, have now produced a generation of growers using the varietal names on their labels and are tempting consumers back to French wine. It will be an uphill struggle, but there is probably no other way if France is to avoid simply becoming a specialty source of old-fashioned wines for old fashioned connoisseurs.
Wine consumption was also given a significant boost in the early 1990s by the work of Dr. Serge Renaud, who has spent many years investigating the reasons for the uncannily low incidence of coronary heart disease in the south of France. One of his major findings is that the fat-derived cholesterol that builds up in the arteries and can eventually lead to heart trouble, can be dispersed by the tannins in wine. Tannin is derived from the skins of grapes, and is therefore present in higher levels in red wines, because they have to be infused with their skins to attain the red colour. That news caused a huge upsurge in red wine consumption in the United States. It has not been accorded the prominence it deserves in the UK, largely because the medical profession still sees all alcohol as a menace to health, and is constantly calling for it to be made prohibitively expensive. Certainly, the manufacturers of anticoagulant drugs might have something to lose if we all got the message that we would do just as well by our hearts by taking half a bottle of red wine every day!
77. Which one of the following CANNOT be reasonably attributed to the labelling strategy followed by wine producers in English-speaking countries?
[1] Consumers buy wines on the basis of their familiarity with a grape variety's name.
[2] Even ordinary customers now have more access to technical knowledge about wine.
[3] Consumers are able to appreciate better quality wines.
[4] Some non-English speaking countries like Brazil indicate grape variety names on their labels.
78. The tone that the author uses while asking "What French winemaker will ever admit that?" is best described as
[1] caustic. [2] satirical. [3] critical. [4] hypocritical.
79. What according to the author should the French do to avoid becoming a producer of merely oldfashioned wines?
[1] Follow the labelling strategy of the English-speaking countries.
[2] Give their wines English names.
[3] Introduce fruity wines as Brazil has done.
[4] Produce the wines that have become popular in the English-speaking world.
80. Which one of the following, if true, would provide most support for Dr. Renaud's findings about the effect of tannins?
[1] A survey showed that film celebrities based in France have a low incidence of coronary heart disease.
[2] Measurements carried out in southern France showed red wine drinkers had significantly higher levels of coronary heart incidence than white wine drinkers did.
[3] Data showed a positive association between sales of red wine and incidence of coronary heart disease.
[4] Long-term surveys in southern France showed that the incidence of coronary heart disease was significantly lower in red wine drinkers than in those who did not drink red wine.

A New Obstacle
Eldreth stopped in an alley many blocks away from where she had just been saved. She blurred back into reality and leaned back heavily against a dumpster. She was absolutely furious. Her thought's raced.
"Who the hell was that moron?"
She cursed loudly shoving her resting place into a nearby wall so hard that the metal buckled.
"I've been trailing Janus for months. Night after night following his cess ridden behind around this city and I finaly had him! Now he not only know's he's being watched but exactly who's doing it!"
She clenched her fists breathing hard. This was not good. Janus was one of the power players in the city for all of the wrong reasons. He was one of the Brotherhood of the Shadow, a group of vampires who had earned their unlife by pleasing deamons and all kinds of other fouls entities. She was about to kill him.
The worst part was that she not only had to contend with him and his kind. Now every other scumbag who wanted immortality would be using her as a perfect way of attaining that goal.
They where a group of human occultists known as the Unseen, humans who all aspired to be members of the Brotherhood. That stupid human had done more than wreck a perfectly good ambush, he'd just managed to land himself in a whole world of danger in the process. The unseen didn't do loose ends and when Janus got back with the news he was as good as dead.
This left her with a very difficult decision to make. She rarely spoke to her food let alone interacted with it. Still, even though she was seething right now she couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for the human. His stupidity may had just gotten them both killed. She could go and find him but this meant forgetting about her prey and that in itself was a very dangerous prospect.
One thing she knew as she looked up at the moon was that another of her kind would die tonight. An innocent who was nothing more than a way for some evil nightmare to releave their bloodlust.
