The staff was generally very friendly. The location is away from busy street and quiet, which I was looking for. (It is not hotel's fault that in room next to ours, some drunken fool got home at 3am and then started yelling into his phone for 30 minutes... Unfortunately, inconsiderate idiots like our "neighbor" are going on vacations, too). Despite my "complaints" below, I enjoyed our stay. If below's issues were fixed I would rate it a 5 star instead of a 4 star. At start of breakfast time restaurant is understaffed, hence one waits for coffee, etc. After about 8am sufficient staff is present and helpful. One thing I did not like is that no late checkout (just an hour later than normal, at 1pm) was not granted, due to "being fully booked". I have spent 150-200 nights every year in hotels (since about 1997) and know that such a request can be honored, no matter how fully booked it is. Check in is at 2pm ... gives staff a full hour to clean the room... I don't remember the last time when a late checkout request has not been accomodated. Wifi in room is too slow. Charging 60% MORE for airport transfer than a (clean) taxi (800 baht vs 500 baht) is a little unreasonable, I think.
Location was excellent, in the middle of shops, opposite the beach. Price can be bargin down a bit. Pool was a welcome facility to cool down. Not enough towels at poolside. Attendant does not replenish enough ... disappears after certain time in afternoon. No hot water at times, like in the night .. as though hotel switches off after certain time.
The staff was very friendly, the rooms were cleaned every day with perfection. The hotel is located near everything you could possibly do. The pool service was very fast and on point. Breakfast was not bad in comparison to other hotels. Recommend the french toast. Air con needs to point higher, It was directly on us and as a result we got a bit sick on our second day.
location only! The room was totally awful, the service was bad as well. We ordered 4 night and stayed only 1. They charged my bill in advancewithout permission and it took more then a month to get the money back.
We chose this hotel because we liked the location that appeared in your webpage. Our surprise was that the real location is not the same that appeared in the web. You should change the location in internet as soon as posible to ensure no more mistakes. The correct location is north of the Hat Rai Leh East, not in Tham Phra Nang Nok, the best beach in Railay. Thank you. Loren. We didn't like the location
nothing! the room was old and dirty!
Nice location near the water. Good restaurant. Large, clean rooms. We paid for breakfast every day, but they did not have an alternative option when we had to leave earlier than breakfast was served one morning.
Bad hotel, staff not kind at all, swiming pool and rooms were dirty!!! And they charged our credit card twice!!!
Staff were the nicest i have met in thailand, definitely value for money!
the food and the staff at the restaurant customer service very poor and not bothered as it was not peak season yet (that's what the manager told me when i asked why the thai massage on site was not available), shower not working properly, no complimentary toiletries nor minibar as stated, not at all what it looks like in the photos!!!!! very disappointing!
Location was pretty central. Room/grounds were only okay. Staff seemed rude and like they distrusted you. Definitely didn't make us feel welcome.

Bobby Petrino has taken another financial hit from the fallout of being fired by Arkansas.
The former Razorbacks coach sold his home in Fayetteville at a loss of $550,000, according to a warranty deed filed Monday that was obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal.
Petrino bought the 8,741-square foot home that sits on nearly three acres in March of 2008 for $2.25 million.
After two years on the market it finally sold for $1.7 million, about $300,000 below the asking price of $1.99 million.
Petrino was fired in April after it was revealed he had an inappropriate relationship with a female employee, who was riding with him when he crashed his motorcycle.
As part of the action by Arkansas, Petrino forfeited his salary from a contract that averaged around $3.5 million per year through 2017.
The Razorbacks hired former assistant John L. Smith to lead the team this season.

Tom Kualii
Island native, born and reared in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. Having an acute interest in nature, Tom spent much of his earlier years drawing using different materials and techniques to express what he see. Tom enrolled in a number of art classes at the University of Hawaii and Hawaii Community College, one of which was photography taught by renown artist, Linus chao. It was his first introduction to the professional use of the camera. However it was not until I was deployed to Iraq that he truly discovered the fascinating world of photography.
During his tour in Iraq, he spent his "down time" looking for the beauty amid the chaos of war, exposing grand sunsets and fluid waves of endless sand on photo paper. Tom stilled the movement of animals and insects unfamiliar to a Native Hawaiian. And, he encouraged and captured smiles on faces that otherwise expressed fear and sorrow. Having a lifelong fascination of fighter jets and combat helicopters, he would often take pictures of them. One particular photograph of a row of resting Apache Helicopters nestled among protective barricades on an airfield in Balad won him the grand prize in a photo contest. I was awarded a custom-built Harley Davidson upon his return to Hawaii after his tour was over. That really spiked his interest in photography and has since been intent on developing the talent and creativity.
Back in the Islands, Tom has become a progressively advancing professional photographer, having focused his lens on athletes of all ages on many courts and fields, including professional athletes in many sports. He photographed aspiring models, competing hula dancers, singers and musicians, high school graduates, politicians, brides and grooms, and celebrating families and friends.
With an expanded, more acute eye for details, Tom have captured stunning images of nature as well. Tom's passion is the theatre that is Kalapana; The vast playground of the Hawaiian Goddess, Pele. There he finds a connection to his roots as a Hawaiian - even as a descendent of the native kings and warriors of old. Trekking over sacred, treacherous, unpaved landscape in the dark of night, lends to his dependence on a higher power. It becomes a spiritual experience that lays the backdrop for a simply spectacular production of wonder and beauty. Tom has been making this trek several times a week since march of 2008, capturing the magnificence of it all in his images.

" Good location, but way too busy. Staff is almost always busy with check-ins to be able to talk to you. Facilities are pretty limited and you are essentially just paying for the location. Rooms are pretty small and can seem claustrophobic at times. The bar downstairs is pretty good though and has decently priced drinks and a good seating space. "

" If you're considering a different hostel, don't. I spend a little extra on the Flying Pig Downtown and it was so worth it the little I spend covered my breakfast, as theirs is included. The breakfast isn't just toast and spread, they also have fruit, eggs, coffee, tea and juice. The bar was always very lively considereing it was only for staff and guests staying st the flyin pig. Drink prices were cheap and the staff is so friendly and cool.
The location is great. I felt safe there! "

Justin Bieber's wax statue removed
What do you do when you cant get the real thing? Apparently some Justin Bieber fans will go as far as grabbing at a wax statue of Justin. The Madame Tussaud's wax museum in New York had to remove their wax replica of the Bieb's due to fans damaging it. But who is to blame? The Museum who had no rope guarding the statue or the fans who where able to touch it

I will be visiting an approx. 4 mos old Shih Tzu. They do not know the size of her parents.
At what age does this breed stop growing?
I was told by the owner that she reached her adult size but I am a little sceptical about this info so I'd better ask the experts, the Shih Tzu's owners here.
Thank you.
Edit: Just did some googling and it states that 6-8 mos is when they stop growing, but I still would like to hear from you guys.

VA: Wait times in audit had caveats
NEW YORK (AP) — Data released by Veterans Affairs officials earlier this week appeared to confirm that new patients at the agency's medical centers were routinely waiting 30, 50 or even more than 90 days to see a doctor. It turns out those statistics came with some big caveats.
Average wait times at many of the facilities are likely much shorter, Philip Matkovsky, an assistant deputy undersecretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs, told The Associated Press on Friday.
He said information about patients who received care very quickly was left out of the analysis for technical reasons.
One reason for the disparity is that the audit essentially represented a look into future doctor visits, while another VA data system assessed wait times by looking at the past, Matkovsky said.

A beautiful city, a healthy showPosted on Written by Chris Landry
St. Petersburgs sparkling new waterfront provides a more conducive setting for boat sales
Boat companies and dealers were busy closing deals and hosting sea trials for potential buyers in December after the St. Petersburg Power & Sailboat Show.
Everglades Boats of Edgewater, Fla., for instance, sold a 243 center console with a second helm station. One hundred thousand dollars paid for and done and we have a good amount of leads which we feel positive about, says Everglades regional sales representative Greg Allen.
Hacker-Craft was hashing out the final details on the sale of a 26-foot gasoline inboard runabout its Sterling model, says Ken Rawley, director of sales and marketing for the Silver Bay, N.Y., builder of classic mahogany runabouts.
We have a deposit coming in for that boat today, Rawley said in early December. We also have two other leads good leads, so we are pleased with St. Petersburg. And its a beautiful city with a lot of surrounding culture.
The show, in its 35th year, was held Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 at the Progress Energy Center for the Arts Mahaffey Theater Yacht Basin and Albert Whitted Park. Attendance increased by 5.2 percent, compared with last years show, according to Ricardo Strul, vice president and chief financial officer of Show Management, the company that owns, manages and produces the show. Exhibitor participation rose to more than 250 a 10 percent increase from 2011.
The overall number of new and brokerage boats also was up 153 this year, compared with 135 last year. The increase mostly was attributable to an increase in sailboats, Strul says. Last year there were 24 sailing vessels, and this year there were 41.
The show drew just about every major boat brand: Azimut, Hatteras, Tiara, Viking, Beneteau, Catalina, Regal, Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Grady-White and Carver. But it wasnt just the big names at the show. Smaller companies such as Statement Marine (a luxury center console builder), Ranger Tugs, Carolina Cat, Comitti (an Italian builder of luxury mahogany runabouts) and Retro Marine Cape Island Trawlers were well represented.
Showgoers got a chance to see innovative boat designs, such as Sea Rays new 370 Venture express cruiser with hidden outboards, and joystick helm control systems such as the new Three60 Precision Control System from Caterpillar and Yacht Controllers wireless remote helm control. Dealers included Denison Yacht Sales, HMY Yacht Sales, Quality Boats, Sunray Marine and MarineMax.
The show went very well, says Steve Sheer, Show Managements marketing and advertising director. One of the factors working in our favor is the area looks a whole lot better.
Nearby construction work has been finished, allowing the waterfront and city attractions to shine, Sheer says.
The powerboating market seems to be gaining some momentum and there was a good crowd and the seminars went well, he says.
MarineMax in Clearwater, Fla., met with some success, says sales manager Colin Heimensen.
Our results were better than last year, Heimensen says. The customers certainly had more of an optimistic outlook than they had a year ago. People are talking about boating and more likely to move forward [with a purchase] than they used to be.
Capt. Mike Adams of Cannons Marina on Longboat Key, Fla., would agree. It was a great show, says Adams, the sales manager at Cannons, which carries the Jupiter, Scout, Southwind and Grady-White brands. We had great traffic in the booth all weekend. We had no sales at the show, but we have scheduled sea trials and we have a few great leads to follow up on. The show overall seemed much busier than last year.
Galati Yachts, dealer for a half-dozen boat companies, including Tiara, Cruisers, Viking and Grand Banks, also reported good news.
We were able to sell a few new boats and a few brokerage boats, so it worked out well for us, says Galati general manager Darren Plymale. It was well worth the effort. Its always a good show for us. The St. Petersburg area is home to one of our largest locations. Its kind of a home show for us.
Galati also operates offices in other parts of Florida as well as in Texas and Alabama.
More than anything else the show gave us an opportunity to come back and continue to work with customers with immediate interest in a boat, Plymale says.
Galati has been a fixture at the show for many years, but new faces came to St. Petersburg, as well.
We decided to try the St. Petersburg show, knowing it was a small show and not expecting a huge turnout or great results, but we were very pleasantly surprised, says Curtis Stokes, president of Fort Lauderdale-based Curtis Stokes & Associates Inc., a worldwide yacht sales, charter and construction company. The weather certainly helped, but the traffic was great and there were quite a few very serious buyers.
The company received an offer on one of the three boats in its display and has scheduled follow-up showings on all three, Stokes says. We also met with quite a few prospects for other boats we have listed for sale, he says. There were offers made on boats displayed by other brokers in our area of the show also. We definitely plan to display in the show again next year. I felt Show Management did a great job on this show.

Personally, I'm going with "Happy end of the Mayan calendar, don't bother buying Christmas presents because we're all DOOMED!!!"... then I usually get escorted out of wherever I happen to be.
Here at the rock, we have two basic rules...
Glock 27 for every day carry (LCP for deep conceal when necessary)... Glock 23 for the home.
Call me Iggy. Only my mother calls me by my full given name.
"Hello" has always worked for me.
"I'm set up to play a game right now. However, I doubt most people would want to get into a gun fight with me."
Rob Leatham
Howdy works for me. That way, I don't have to worry about political correctness...well, I never worry about that anyway...
When appropriate I typically say "Merry Christmas", I don't buy into this "offended" business. If someone greets me with a greeting from another holiday, I'm happy to return it back to them with a smile. I'm truly happy for them to celebrate their holiday. I don't see how someone expressing a greeting to me should offend me. I think the whole "offended" thing is ridiculous.

Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
I hope I can say this on here...
"Bugger off!" - it's one of my favorites. Lets people know I really don't care about how they feel, their holidays, or anything about them.
--Not really. I typically respond with 'you too' because I work in retail/service and people always throw that out there as they run out the door. I feel the 'bugger off' sentiment more than I feel anything else because the people wishing me a 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays' were typically the mean kind of customer not 20 minutes before.
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.
I say Merry Christmas. I'm not a believer in spiritual things. I personally think Christmas is nothing but a commercial holiday and a time to be with family and friends. Happy Holidays works, too, but it doesn't feel as warm as the traditional seasonal greeting.
Same as it's allways been, Merry Christmas.
Donnie D
Happy Festivus...
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!

To boot, Sheriff Scott Israel says he's just now hearing about it and wants answers.
Spokesperson Veda Coleman-Wright explains what appears to have happened to the report thats supposed to be filed whenever theres an altercation.

Developing Senior Management Teams in Schools: Can Micropolitics help?
Ehrich, Lisa C. & Cranston, Neil (2004) Developing Senior Management Teams in Schools: Can Micropolitics help? International Studies in Educational Administration, 32(1), pp. 21-31.
|PDF (85kB)
While there is a vast body of literature that examines the role of the principal in schools, it has been only relatively recently that attention has focused on the working practices and relationships o f members in the Senior Management Team (SMT). This paper suggests that the study of micropolitics has potential for illuminating SMTs since it provides a lens to understand the dynamics of the team and the interactions and inter-relationships between and amongst their members. This micropolitical lens is concerned with how players use a variety of strategies such as power, coercion, cooperation, cooption and influence to obtain resources and achieve goals. This paper examines some of the recent research into SMTs and micropolitics and identifies five hey issues or pointers that may be linked to either facilitating or inhibiting the effective functioning of SMTs in schools. The set of issues provides a useful framework for members of SMTs to critically reflect upon as they seek to build shared purpose, cooperation and collaboration.

Directions • From the Kolob Canyons entrance of Zion National Park, pay the fee at the gate and then drive 3.8 miles up Kolob Canyon Road. Stop at the Lee Pass trail head on the east side of the road. The trail head is there.
The wilderness of Zion National Park begins when you step foot on the LaVerkin Creek Trail. From the trail head, follow the trail south down hill. You will crisscross Timber Creek. It may be dry depending on the time of year. The trail takes you through a juniper forest with an occasional grove of aspen or cottonwoods. You'll pass a sign for your first backcountry campsite at 2.34 miles, a sign for a second at 3.1 miles and a third at 3.69 miles. At the third campsite, the trail turns east and there's one more descent to LaVerkin Creek. It's all uphill to get home — a 1,240-foot ascent.

Best Hitter: OF Carlos Gonzalez. CarGo was brilliant once again for the Rockies, leading the team in RBI and hits, posting .303 with 22 homers.
Best Starter: N/A. No pitcher can claim superiority with last year's pitching. The starters were at the bottom of the majors in most categories and no starter had an ERA sub 4.4.
Best Reliever: RP Rex Brothers was a spark for the bullpen. The 25-year-old led the team in K's (83) and finished with an 8-2 record with a 3.86 ERA.
Breakout Year: OF Dexter Fowler. The center-fielder put it together in 2012, raising his average from .266 to .300. At 26, there is still time to improve for Fowler.
Best Rookie: 3B Jordan Pacheco. The New Mexico kid played close to a full year in the bigs and hit .309 with 54 RBI. Pacheco will have the pressure to be just as good this year, especially with the possibility of moving parts.
History – Jamie Moyer made history with the Rockies when he became the oldest MLB pitcher to earn a victory at 49. Moyer was released by the Rockies in June after a 2-5 record and a 5.70 ERA.
Pitching – It what has become a disheartening theme for the Rockies, The pitching core was consistently dreadful. The Rockies started 14 pitchers throughout the year, the group put up a 5.81 ERA, dead last in the majors. The worst part was that Jorge De La Rosa was only able to start three games due to Tommy John surgery rehab. Complete pitching stats
Hitting – The 2012 team did a fine job at the plate. The Rockies had five everyday players hit above .300 including Eric Young Jr., Jordan Pacheco, Chris Nelson, Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler. Troy Tulowitzki managed to hit .287 with 8 home runs in a season cut short by a groin injury. However Todd Helton hit a career low .238 and played his fewest games (69) since his rookie year. Helton is still deciding if he will return for this season. Complete hitting stats
Injuries – Pitchers Juan Nicasio, Jonathan Sanchez and De La Rosa all had their seasons severely limited due to injuries. As mentioned, Helton and Tulo both had injury-plagued years. Ramon Hernandez also was limited leading to the emergence of rookie Willin Rosario.
Regime Change– In November, Jim Tracy resigned as manager of the Rockies. Despite the team setting a franchise high for losses, Tracy was expected to return for the final year on his contract. Tracy's decision was to the displeasure of many the players including CarGo, Fowler and Jeff Francis.
The Rockies named their former shortstop, Walt Weiss, as the new manager. Weiss, 48, played for 14 MLB seasons and was the manager for Regis Jesuit High School in Denver last year. The deal was surprising because of the one-year contract and Weiss's only MLB coaching experience being some time spent as a Rockies minor league instructor and scout. Weiss is said to bring a toughness to the team as Colorado's sixth manger in history.
Free Agency– The Rockies have remained conservative in free agency. They resigned Jeff Francis to a one year deal and De La Rosa picked up his 2013 option. The Rockies have no other players in free agency and will likely rely on their young players to fill holes.
Youth– Injuries forced the Rockies to play many of it's young players more than intended, their were encouraging signs for the position players.
3B Jordan Pacheco hit .309, the best average on the team with more than 100 games played. C Rosario led the team in home runs with 28. 2B DJ LeMahieu hit .297 in 81 games and Josh Rutledge had eight home runs and 37 RBI in 73 games.
Trades – Dec – Acquired RHP Wilton Lopez from Houston for RHP Alex White and Alex Gillingham.
Rockies hope Lopez can be effective in late innings. The 29-year-old lefty is a high groundball low walk pitcher.
Jan – RHP Guillermo Moscoso and LHP Josh Outman from Oakland for OF Seth Smith
Moscoso and Outman were both disappointments in 2012, Moscoso has moved on to Kansas City.
Nov – INF Matt Wheeler from Arizona for LHP Matt Reynolds.
This move was made to provide depth in the middle infield for the Rockies and help stockpile assets to acquire a starting pitcher.Tags: Baseball, Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado, Colorado Rockies, Dexter Fowler, Jordan Pacheco, Jorge De La Rosa, MLB, Rex Brothers, Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki

At length Rollo called out to tell his uncle that the city was in view.
"Let us go over to the other side of the bridge," said Rollo.
"Why, you see I can engage a carriage to take us there myself," said Rollo.
"I don't see how the little steamers get through under the bridges," said Rollo.
Rollo, to whom La Giralda had given the key, stooped to fit it into the keyhole.
So saying, Mr. George and Rollo walked on towards the end of the bridge.
The soldier then resumed his seat, and Rollo and Carlos walked on slowly up the hall.
One day Rollo saw a policeman taking a prisoner to the station.
Rollo stared wildly a minute, first at the man, and then about the cabin.
Unfortunately for Rollo, as is usually the case in London, the sun was not to be seen.

Re: How to calculate covariant derivative by Mathematica?
Hi Shen,
It depends on the context in which you're working, as a covariant
derivatives can _look_ quite different.
But maybe what you basically need is an operator of the type
In[1]:= DD[t_]:=(D[#,t]+Con[#,t])&
so that
In[2]:= DD[x]@f[x]
Out[3]= Con[f[x],x]+(f^\[Prime])[x]
Then you need to make your connection, Con act properly. For example,
it should return 0 when acting on scalars, and if you're acting on
explicit Tensors and don't distinguish between contravariant and
covariant, then maybe something like this would work:
In[5]:= Con[expr_?ArrayQ,t_]:=Module[{dim=Dimensions[expr],rep,perms},
rep=Array[Subscript[r, ##][t]&,{dim[[1]],dim[[1]]}];
we can test that this works properly on a (square) matrix:
In[6]:= rep=Array[Subscript[r, ##][t]&,{2,2}]; m=Array[Subscript[z, ##]
In[7]:= Con[m,t]==rep.m+m.rep\[Transpose]//Expand
Out[7]= True
The above can be extended to vector derivatives and associated
Symbolic covariant derivatives are a bit more tricky...
There are some packages out there... a google search for "mathematica
covariant derivative" brings up a few.
The Wolfram pages to look at are
Finally, if you want to do index / field theory style calculations,
then maybe you could try Cadabra.
Hope some of that helps,

CANADA STOCKS-TSX higher on Greek hopes, reverses opening losses
TORONTO, June 22 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose shortly after the open on Monday, reversing opening losses, bolstered by market optimism that a last minute deal could be reached between Greece and its creditors.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index rose 50.99 points, or 0.35 percent, to 14,704.11. Seven of the index's 10 main groups were in positive territory. (Reporting by Solarina Ho; Editing by Nick Zieminski)

Fort Lyon Makes List of Colorado Endangered Places
By newsroom On February 18, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Eliza Densmore, History, KRCC News, Prisons, Student Reporter, Text
A former correctional facility in southeastern Colorado is among five historic sites chosen as the state's Most Endangered Places this year. KRCC's Eliza Densmore reports.
Fort Lyon in Las Animas has served as a military fort and a tuberculosis treatment facility. Most recently, it was a prison closed to help cut state budget costs. Colorado Preservation, Inc. has now designated the fort as an Endangered Place. The non-profit works to educate residents and promote historic preservation. State and local officials, including Governor John Hickenlooper, have pushed for the site to become a voluntary treatment center for the chronically homeless. Other sites with this year's designation include Hotchkiss Barn and Homesteading Sites in Escalante Canyon.

Keith Urban to Play Guitar With Brad Paisley While Recovering From Throat Surgery
Keith Urban may not be able to speak or sing while he recovers from throat surgery, which he had to remove a polyp from his vocal chord, but he will certainly continue to work and play guitar to keep himself busy. Urban will pass the time with good friend and fellow country superstar Brad Paisley — the two will simply handle their instruments, and you certainly don't need to talk in order to play guitar. That's why musical is a universal and voiceless language.
2012 'American Idol' Season to Start in January
It's that time again, country fans! The 2012 season of 'American Idol' will kick off this January. It'll be the show's 11th season and let's hope that this season follows the same trajectory as the last, when the final two contestants were country artists! Will Scotty McCreery's heir apparent make it to the top? Will we find our next Lauren Alaina? It's certainly an exciting prospect, since country music dominated the show last season. That trend could very well continue into 2012.

Luke Bryan Dishes On Tim McGraw's Underwear, Reba McEntire's Boobs
Luke Bryan served as the red carpet correspondent for 'Ellen' at the 2011 CMA Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 9), and he worked it. With his charming personality and his terrific sense of humor, Bryan was perfect for the gig. Bryan and Ellen DeGeneres (via satellite) had fun with their interviews. Normally, red carpets are serious and somewhat stale affairs, but this duo asked silly questions and lightened the mood.
Brad Paisley Reveals He Was Pulled Over for Suspected DUI
Brad Paisley was the subject of a recent 'Nightline' profile as he promoted his new book 'Diary of a Player: How My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man Out of Me,' and on the TV special, he dropped a bombshell: He was recently pulled over for a suspected DUI. The only caveat was that … Paisley wasn't drunk! In fact, he doesn't drink or smoke at all.
Wynonna Judd Sings at Dan Wheldon's Funeral
Wynonna Judd was in attendance at late IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon's funeral on Saturday morning (October 22). The singer delivered heartbreaking renditions of both 'Amazing Grace' and 'I Can Only Imagine' at the services, which took place in St. Petersburg, Fla. Given the emotionally devastating circumstances, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that this was one of the hardest performances of Judd's life. Being called upon to sing at such a sad time requires incredible strength.

Should he maintain his current prolific rushing pace, Chamberlain junior Xavier Johnson soon could be receiving as many offers as handoffs.
And that's what scares Chiefs coaches.
"He's going to be recruited hard," veteran assistant Jim Gee said. "And I don't mean by colleges."
The coaches' cynicism quickly segues into unabashed praise when discussing Johnson. In the Chiefs' two games, both ulcer-inducing defeats, Johnson (5-foot-10, 170 pounds) has run for nearly 400 yards.
In Friday's 20-17 overtime loss to Wharton, he ran for 250 and two touchdowns on 29 carries, gutting the Wildcats' defense on everything from sweeps to slices up the middle.
"He's just a natural, tough," said Chiefs coach Joe Severino , whose team (0-2, 0-0) faces Tampa Bay Tech (1-2, 0-0) in a Class 7A, District 7 contest Friday.
Gee, not prone to hyperbole, calls him the "real deal."
"Joe had (2001 county rushing leader) Ray Neal over at King, and I was coaching guys here like (former University of Florida and NFL tailback) Eugene McCaslin ," Gee said. "This guy's every bit as good as all those guys. And I don't give faint praise."
Lean and chiseled, Johnson exudes equal parts humility and muscle tone. On Tuesday, he was quick to lavish praise on the linemen -- Randall Gunter, Wesley Skiles , Joe Castellano, Dajshon Oliver, Stephen Overton -- who helped create gaps all along the line of scrimmage.
On Friday, against a fast, physical Titans defense, he'll need help from more than his blockers. Sophomore quarterback Josh Bennett will have to keep TBT honest with success in the play-action pass.
If the passing game does its job, Johnson could generate even more interest.
Cue the coaches' wincing.
"He runs inside, outside," Severino said. "He's not huge, but he has great lower body lean, keeps his feet moving, stiff-arm, slips and dips when he gets outside. He's just a natural."

These gluten free molasses spice cookies are simple and a great guilt free treat for the holidays. They are not only gluten free, but mostly sugar free too! (They are a THM S cookie!)
It is typical winter day here….
When I see a view like that out my door, I know it's time to have something baking in my oven. Major dilemma though, I was out of eggs! What's a mama to bake?
I decide to try my hand at some molasses spice cookies! They were pretty fast to make and they are kid approved. Soft, kind of crumbly with a nice amount of spice. Perfect on a cold day with a cup of coffee!
If you are a Trim Healthy Mama this is an S cookie. I know molasses is not a legal ingredient in the THM world, but for this you use 1/2 tsp. (1 tsp is about 5 grams of carbs) that is for the entire batch. This makes about 1 1/2 dozen cookies so you should be in the clear unless you eat the entire batch…which I don't recommend.
My favorite cookie sheet is a (affiliate link) graniteware one. I love that nothing sticks to them but they brown the bottoms of everything so nicely. They are also not teflon, which I avoid like the plague.
Gluten free molasses spice cookies!
- ½ stick of salted butter
- ¼ cup xylitol
- ½ tsp. molasses
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. heavy cream
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ tbsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp of cloves
- Cream together butter, xylitol, molasses, vanilla and cream
- Stir together dry ingredients
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture until well mixed.
- Roll into balls and flatten lightly on parchment paper
- Bake at 350 for 12-18 minutes
- Makes about 1½ dozen cookies

Just ordered a set
Nice one Mark - post some photos up when they're fitted
I bought some LED angel eyes from Hids Direct. Didnt realise you have to take the car apart to fit them, has anyone got any useful tips/photos before i venture into the unknown and try and fit them??
my car is a pre lci 335d e91 m sport
Yeah, I think with the E90 and E91, you have to access it through the wheel arch. Search the net. There are some step by step guides out there on the forums (could be another forum).
thinking about doing this upgrade...is this what i need to get?
How did you get on with yours Mark?
anybody else done it?
im not sure if this will help or not, but the LCI (Mar-10 onwards) has white/blue angels
and they are actually so bright i cant seem to get a picture of them from my iphone.
wont those bulbs fit ? they will be expensive tho as stealers are stealers.

A new post on the Bulletin for Atomic Scientists website reviews the U.S. Army's revised regulations for its biomedical labs. The updated requirements intends to clarify vague language in civilian biological agents guidelines. In addition, "the new regulations establish stricter controls on the credentials biosafety officers must obtain and the risk-assessment procedures scientists must undertake. However, the revised language raises questions as to how U.S. Army guidelines will apply to civilian and foreign collaborators."

I bought this because the colors are beautiful, but they crease like crazy, even with a primer. I have dry lids, and within an hour, they not only crease and disappear, but they manage to bring my waterproof liner with them. Bad investment, they don't even work as a base.
ETA: I use the pink tone and the light one as a cheek highlight, and it is very good for that!

I have really mixed feelings about this product. I have owned this 3 times. 2 times I got rid of it. Now I have purchased it again but it is again inside my box for products for swapping.
I suppose I got rid of it becuase I love to apply powder shadows and the way you can blend powder shadows and use different colors in makeup. With this that does not really work. Even though the compact comes with 4 colors, you cant really make an awesome look by blending colors together becuase they are very slippery and they will not set. What is great with these colors is that even though all colors are slightly shimmery they are also very sheer and you can apply them really quickly with a swipe of your finger. And you never will look like you totally messed up your makeup because these colors are so sheer.
Currently I own the sets called Precious Metals and Copper Canyon. They are all very flattering. however they are not crease proof or long lasting like MAC paint pots. They are also much more sheer than MAC paint pots. However I do like the finish of the Revlon Illuminance shadows. I hate they way you can see the texture of the powder shadow on skin when wearing them. With these you can not see the texture. I love it. I love to pair these with a radiant BB and cream blush and just a swipe of these and mascara and a pop of lipgloss. Makes me look younger. I do however prime my eye lids with powder before applying these to improve the staying power. Now that I am writing this review I really feel like taking them away from my swap box and starting to use them again. If I swap them I might repurchase them again. I am really undecided about these.

I was so excited to get the Skinlights quad as a present; I had to never had cream eyeshadow before. It looks very beautiful in the package: shiny, gorgeous colours, swatched very well. Once I got them on my eyes, however, I found them very hard to blend, and they instantly creased, and looked cakey on my lids. Very disappointment as the colours are very pigmented, they just don't apply very well.

My favourite go-to for eye makeup for school/work/whatever is always a good neutral creme eyeshadow palette, and this one does not disappoint. I find it to have good colour payoff and the shadows are super easy to apply. I use all the shades daily except for the brown one second from the right; they also last quite long, though the dark brown shade I find fades faster than the rest.
The only thing I don�t like about this palette is the design; it is weird to open and I am always freaked out that I�m going to break/drop it somehow since the plastic is pretty flimsy.

I adore cream eyeshadow and it is by far my favorite product to buy. This, however is just not a good one, which is so sad because the colors are so lovely. The formula is extremely emollient, to the point of being almost slick. This makes it difficult to work with and kind of messy. It never sets on the eye, leading the staying power to be exceptionally poor. I am someone who very rarely has problems with creasing or lasting power (even with products that have notoriously poor lasting power like, say, the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils), but this creases on me within about a minute and is completely gone within a few hours. The best way to use this is as a base, but even as that it is not a very good one as it's not really tacky but just slick. Also, it creases. I did give it two lippies because it does have some lovely shades. But all in all, this is not a good cream eyeshadow and there are much better ones that are less expensive. If you're looking for a very emollient formula that you can use both as a base or on its own, I recommend the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils as a decent one. As far as long lasting, the Rimmel Scandaleyes is great in the drugstore. But yeah, these are not great.

I had this in skinlights, and these shadows are so creamy and pretty! There was a shimmery brown, a shimmery white, a shimmery reddish-copper and a matte cream flesh tone. I use these mainly as a base, but the lasting power is so poor....they crease, don't last very long, overall I wouldn't recommend.

- awesome color selection
- creamy and easy to blend
- more sheer than MAC paint pots )can be a plus or minus depending on taste)
- long lasting with powder eyeshadow on top (use them as a base)
- inexpensive
- 4 colors per set
- must be set with a powder shadow on top or they WILL crease
-I would not try to wear them alone or blend them with multiple cream colors, they will look messy
- I have only seen shimmer shades
I have these in the colors skin lights, copper canyon, twilight, va va va bloom, wild orchid and khaki suede. I would recommend them all

I cannot understand the hate on this product. I used the quad in black magic all the way up years ago and for whatever reason didn't buy again, and I just recently picked up Not Just Nudes and am determined to buy nearly every color! I have dry eyelids so these are a great option, can be used as a subtle day look or built up for night. Works best with a primer, but don't all shadows?

Creases if worn alone.
Stays beautifully if used as a shadow base.
(Especially loose shadow base applied with finger).
Tried it out today after putting them away for months without realizing this... (derp)
It stayed on all day and I have oily oily skin...
I did use a shadow primer though as its a habit.

Hey all,
I know this might be a repeat, but i could not find the information on the forum about this (I'm new to all this). So here is the question. What should i be looking for when i inspect my Jeep Grand Cherokee before i sign the paperwork. For example, I'm going to be looking for dents and scratches on the exterior and stains on the leather. What else should i be looking for? Any answer is greatly appreciated.
Re: Delivery
I would look for
- dents/scratches
- check the bumpers (front/rear) make sure they fit nice and tight
- check the plastic in the wheel wells, make sure its tight
- make sure nothing feels loose or janky on the interior
- make sure everything fits together as it should (no large gaps)
- make sure turn signals work
- crank the stereo
- if you have nav, make sure the nav works
- if you have satellite radio, make sure it works
- make sure your seat functions work
- if you have leather make sure there are no holes or scratches
- make sure the windshield wipers are in perfect condition
- make sure it has all the things you ordered it with
When/If you find anything, dont be a dick, just point them out and they should be more than happy to make it right.
Re: Delivery
You can spend a lot of time checking out the entire vehicle instead of driving it away, but the better plan is to just check things that you can't be blamed for if you bring it in a couple of days later. Scratches and interior tears in the seats, carpet and headliner would be my first concern. Anything else would be a defect covered by warranty without any suspicion you. So make a quick inspection, drive your Jeep home, and enjoy it. :)
Re: Delivery
check that air conditioning is working
Re: Delivery
Yeah its a new car I dont think you need to go too overboard like the guy above said to do. I mean its a new car and generally all those things are inspected prior to it leaving the factory. Im pretty anal myself and didnt do anything out of the ordinary when I took delivery of my 12 Overland. I mean really? make sure the windshield wipers are in perfect condition? lol
All joking aside, what 77Cherokee said above is a great idea. Do a quick walk around and you want to find any possible damage such as paint defects, dings, scratches (interior, exterior, wheels etc etc). Then take it for a nice drive and enjoy it!
Congrats on the purchase and enjoy!
Re: Delivery
Thank you all for your input. Just took delivery of my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and it looks great. There was some dirt on the Visor and the panoramic sunroof cloth and they said that they will give me a free detailing when i get back from school in the winter which really works out since it will clean off all the salt from my Jeep.

Building Responsive Systems Helps Us Live More Efficiently [Future Of Home Living]
PSFK Labs examines new technologies that are providing a better way to filter and prioritize content and information.
As life becomes more fast-paced, we will begin to require more of our technologies than simple entertainment or information – they will begin to work in our favor. "Responsive technologies can also provide a better way to filter and prioritize content and information, ensuring that only the most relevant content comes to the fore," says Mike Milley, global director of the Lifestyle Research Lab and Samsung Electronics.
In a trend from our Future of Home Living report we're calling Responsive Systems, where Internet-enabled products are delivering greater convenience and efficiency to people's lives by informing residents about performance, condition and needs of the home and the things within it, we have identified the following manifestations.
The Wi-Fi-enabled Nest Thermostat utilizes a built-in light sensor to detect direct sunlight and will modify the thermostat's behavior accordingly to save both money and energy. The 'Sunblock' feature saves energy by preventing the home's cooling or heating system from switching on when direct sunlight heats the surroundings, creating an inaccurate indication of temperature. In addition to the direct sunlight fix, Nest is rolling out a "Cool to Dry" feature that turns on the home's air conditioning system when the humidity sensor within the thermostat detects high humidity levels. Says Microsoft's Chief Storyteller Steve Clayton, "Things like Nest are a really interesting step on that journey because it starts to bring more intelligence into the home."
Milkmaid is a sensor-laden milk jug designed and created by Stephanie Burns that sends SMS messages to owners when milk supplies are almost out or have gone off. Stored inside the fridge, the quart-sized glass container sits on a plastic base containing weight, temperature and pH sensors, a GSM radio module, SIM card and antenna. Monitoring both milk quantity and food safety conditions, the base texts a predesignated mobile number whenever more milk should be picked up at the store. A corresponding iPhone app provides instant access to milk supply information at any time.
Products that can sense and 'learn' the environment around them fall under a larger theme we're calling Adaptive, which examines how customizable solutions for the home are being designed to accommodate a wider range of needs throughout the day and week, bringing greater functionality and flexibility to urban lifestyles.
PSFK has announced the latest in a series of trend reports. Following studies into retail, social media, gaming, work and mobile, the PSFK Labs consulting team have generated the Future of Home Living report. That report manifests as a free summary presentation, an in-depth downloadable PDF and an exhibition in New York City that runs to August 16.
RSVP below to take a tour of the exhibition at 101W15th.

Oscar foreign film nominees reveal movie magic
Director Alexander Payne, left, and director Michael Haneke pose together during the The Oscars Foreign Language Film Award Directors Reception at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Friday, Feb. 22, 2013. Haneke's feature film "Amour" is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. (Photo by Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP)
LES (AP) — A few old-school video cameras, a cloned apartment, a sea of digital sharks, and an actress who helped herself to craft services were just a few tricks that international filmmakers employed in their Oscar nominated films.
The five directors nominated for this year's foreign language film Academy Award revealed on Saturday how they used movie magic:
— "No," an account of the advertising tactics used in the 1988 campaign to oust Chilean [auth] dictator Augusto Pinochet, was filmed with U-Matic video cameras to give the film a grainy VHS aesthetic similar to the political commercials it depicted.
"We got used to it, and we just started loving it," said director Pablo Larrain, who noted that the vintage cameras had less resolution than an iPhone. "When we get to see regular movies now, they look so sharp!"
— Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke based the apartment where much of his relationship drama "Amour" takes place on his parents' own home because it felt comfortable and inspired him when crafting the film about an elderly French couple. The apartment was built on a soundstage and digital effects were used in windows to make the cityscape come alive.
"It was an exact reproduction," said Haneke through a translator. "Not because their story had anything to do with what was happening on screen, but it gave me ideas and helped me find solutions when writing the script."
— The 18th century Danish period piece "A Royal Affair," which centers on the forbidden romance between the Queen of Denmark and royal physician and minister Johann Struensee, was filmed in Prague, not Denmark.
"No street in Copenhagen looks remotely like it used to look in the 1760s," said director Nikolaj Arcel. "But you can actually go to Prague, and they've quite beautifully kept some of these old streets and restored them."
— Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, the directors of the Norwegian film "Kon-Tiki," digitally recorded their historical drama about the treacherous 1947 sea voyage of adventurer Thor Heyerdahl so they wouldn't run out of film.
Ronning said the filmmakers shot 140 terabytes worth of material — roughly about the size of 6,000 Blu-ray discs. They captured the boatload of footage because "Kon-Tiki" was shot in both Norwegian and English and included over 500 special effects shots.
— Kim Nguyen, the Canadian director of "War Witch," said his Congo-set drama about a young woman who becomes embroiled in an African rebellion was filmed chronologically, and that Rachel Mwanza, the film's 16-year-old star from the Congo, gained weight during production. It wasn't an issue because her character becomes pregnant in the film.
"She actually gained like 15 or 20 pounds during the film, which was perfect," said Nguyen. "Best special effect ever."
