The Best Pumpkin Pie
Yep. The best.
Now, I rarely toot my own horn. But I have been making this pie for 2 years now and I've been told by nearly everyone who's eaten it that it is "the BEST pumpkin pie" they've ever had. My picky pumpkin-hating mother now eats a slice every time it's served; a distant cousin who'll barely mutter hello begged me to make him one for his birthday in August; my sister the "pumpkin-pie-expert" demands I make her an extra pie to keep all to herself. I'm now relegated to pumpkin pie duty every fall and winter, and end up baking more of these things than I ever would have thought. Strangers, acquaintances, friends, and family pay good money for this delectable dessert!
You'll notice this recipe isn't exactly reinventing the wheel. There are no special ingredients, and the cooking method only involves the tiniest bit of your attention.
But it's perfect. It's the perfect texture with the perfect combination of spices. Neither too much nor too little filling. Not too sweet, but with a depth of flavor unbefitting of its simplicity. It can easily stand on its own, though it wouldn't suffer one bit if served with a dollop of whipped cream.
It's just… perfect.
This pie is absolutely hassle-free and once your crust is in the pan, it's mixed up and ready to bake in less than 5 minutes. Yeah, you'll notice above that I just mix it with a fork. It's easy-peasy!
Go ahead and make it the night before or the morning-of. The flavors only meld evenly more perfectly once chilled.
In anticipation of the chaos next week (when my kitchen will resemble a pie factory), I ran out to the grocery store and bought a pre-made frozen pie crust (I know, le gasp!). The Gelsons by my house carries a brand called Mrs. Smith's, which my mother has recommended, and although I like homemade better, this crust tastes pretty darn good.
And just for tonight, I truly enjoyed having only one bowl to clean. So cheers to the first pumpkin pie of the season!
The Best Pumpkin Pie
Makes one 9″ or 10″ pie
A few notes:
Please make this pie a few hours in advance to let the flavors meld and at least cool to room temperature.
Take care to cover your pie crust once it starts to brown. You can use regular aluminum foil trimmed and scrunched around the edges, or one of these handy contraptions: Pie Crust Shield.
I highly recommend Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract for this recipe. It is worth the splurge.
Do not use canned "pumpkin pie filling," use pure pumpkin puree!
- 1 -15 oz. can pumpkin puree, such as Libby's
- 1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pastry for a single-crust pie (I recommend this one), frozen for at least 20 minutes
1. Preheat your oven to 425 with a rack towards the bottom of the oven. Place your pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into crust and bake for 15 minutes on the lowest rack.
3. Remove pie from oven and turn heat down to 350. While the oven cools, place a ring of aluminum foil or a pie crust shield over the exposed edges of your pie crust to prevent over-browning. Return pie to oven on baking sheet and bake 35-40 minutes more.
**Pie is done when it is still jiggly in the center, but is set about 1.5″ around the perimeter. You can test by inserting a toothpick about 1-1.5″ in from the outside crust. It should come out clean.**
4. Cool pie on a wire rack. Chill for several hours before serving.

Sep 22, 2013 - By Randy Tucker, Staff WriterThe last football game played at St. Stephen's before Friday night saw the Eagles shut out the Jackson Hole Broncs 24-0 on the old field just west of the mission. That was October 1965 and St. Stephen's High School was destined to close for almost two decades the following spring.
Jump ahead 48 years, and the Eagles have a new school, a new field, and an entirely new style of football, playing 6-man.
During that nearly half-century hiatus, another school on the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming Indian, began playing football in the fall of 1972.
Wyoming Indian and St. Stephen's met for the first time on the gridiron on a perfect Friday afternoon in front of a crowd of approximately 500 fans, with the Chiefs walloping the Eagles 86-6 in West 1-A 6-man play.
The win was the first of the season for the Chiefs and their first ever in 6-man play.
Wyoming Indian's experience in playing the 11-man variety of the game was evident from the opening play as the Chiefs were much more physical and used their size, speed and power advantage to quickly build a 26-0 lead after one period and to take a commanding 66-6 advantage at the half.
Wyoming Indian senior Ramiro Gonzalez had a field day, scoring seven touchdowns. Five of those were on the ground, and the others were thrown by fellow senior Trevor Williamson.
The Chiefs' running game was dominant throughout the contest. Freshman Kane Big Lake showed great promise at running back as well, playing with power and speed to add three more scores on a pair of runs and a short punt return.
Big Lake ran straight at defenders initially on each play, bowling them over then racing down the field for all three scores.
St. Stephen's didn't run the ball much and threw nearly every down. The Chiefs took advantage, picking off five Eagle passes including a 52-yard scoring play by lineman Jose Gonzalez for the game's second score.
Che Stiffarm intercepted a pair of Ronald Bowstring passes on the afternoon.
Wyoming Indian poured it on in the second period scoring 40 points on six touchdowns. The first three came on Gonzalez and Big Lake runs, but the Chiefs passing game opened up in the final minutes of the half with Williamson connecting on back to back 40-yard passes to Stiffarm and Gonzalez. He added another 25-yard pass to Gonzalez with just 11 seconds left to end the half.
St. Stephen's scored on twisting, turning 70-kickoff return by sophomore Silas SunRhodes. Though he was the smallest player on the field, he played with reckless abandon throughout the game and his effort was rewarded with the Eagles only score.
A running clock ensued via the 45-point mercy rule in the second half ,and the game ended quickly. The Chiefs' final score came on an 18-yard pass from Williamson to Milton Trosper.
Wyoming Indian hosts Ten Sleep next Friday, while the Eagles make the long trek to the Colorado border to play Little Snake River.

What in the World is Going on?
I was doing some research the other day and came across this video "Dr. Dean Ornish: The world now eats (and dies) like Americans."
It is from a good blog site called www.tastythinking.com – "Food for thought and thoughts about food." They have some interesting things to say and also some astonishing finds – in particular, the video that I mentioned. It is only a few minutes long and I strongly recommend watching it. The obeisity maps in the presentation are what really made me say…"oh my god".
It is crazy what we have done to ourselves and what we have allowed ourselves to believe. After watching that video and thinking about myself and Rouxbe, I have decided to change a few simple things in my life and I thought I'd share it with all of you in the hope that it might provide some help for you.
Generally I eat well and fairly healthy but not always as good as I should. I also exercise on a fairly regular basis. But for some reason I have been slack in both of these departments lately. I would like to say it is because I am very busy and don't really have the time, but that is really just an excuse and I'm no longer buying it! Because I know, that no matter how busy I am, I can exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
So this is my plan and has been for the few weeks now. First off, I have committed to exercising every morning. For me it is usually running because it makes me feel like I am getting the most bang for my buck. I am lucky enough to have a treadmill for the time being (thanks to Joe's sister), so I alternate between outdoor and indoor runs. The reasons I like the outdoor runs are obvious, but the indoor runs are also great. The treadmill is good because I can track very easily what I have run and how many calories I have burned. I also like to play little games with my time and calories. I say to myself, I will run for 35 minutes, then when I get to that and realize that I have burned 347 calories. I then say…. okay I will run until I hit 400 calories (I like round numbers, what can I say). Then once I get to 400 calories, I may be at 43 minutes, so I run til…well you get the picture. It works for me along with the fast paced music that is playing in my iPod. The main thing… get up and move first thing in the morning for at least 30 minutes.
I have also been eating properly. What does properly mean, you ask? Well to me, and I'm certainly no nutritionist, but to me it means eating smaller portions and eating better foods. And most importantly, eating whole foods. And the more local the better. It is not rocket science when it comes to eating well. I use my instinct and what knowledge I have to figure out what is good for me and what I should eat. For example, butter, cheese, cream sauces and milkshakes – bad, like duh! high fat content. Fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, chicken, fish etc – great. I also read labels and don't believe everything that is on the label. Like when something says fat free, I usually say, "ya right". Because most fat free food items have sugar which I know gets converted into fat once digested. So look at the ingredients.
Since I started this blog (yes this has been a work in progress), it has been about 3 or 4 weeks and I have to say I feel much better and lighter already. I have lost 6 pounds, just by eating smaller meals about 4 or 5 times a day. I also start everyday with some sort of exercise.
Really it is very simple: take in less calories than you burn! Here is a good site for checking out calories. I don't actually count calories, I kind of guess-timate. Just think to yourself at the end of each day…. Did I burn more than I took in. If you did… that's great. You're in the "positive" as I like to think – meaning that you have positively lost weight. If you eat more than you burn.. then your in the "negative" – which means you better move more the next day or consumer fewer calories. That's it, no fancy diet planning; just eat smart, eat less, eat more often, and exercise for crying out loud! Move your body. Oh… and eat whole foods that you cook instead of the "heat and serve" variety. Summer is here and the markets are plentiful of fresh fruits and veggies. I waited out in the blazing sun, in line at my local farmer market for 20 minutes just to buy a big bag of fresh tomatoes. It was so worth it, they are gorgeous! They are currently displayed like edible art on my counter top.
This is the perfect time of year to eat fresh and healthy food. So go out, better yet…ride your bike to your local farmers market and get inspired! After all if you can't inspire yourself how can you inspire others…
Ciao for now dawn

Team Rubio charges Chavez Jr. dodged doping test
Promociones del Pueblo, representatives of Marco Antonio Rubio, claim WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. violated the WBC regulation that stipulates that in title fights the fighters must leave a urine sample for drug testing with the doctor of the local commission, in this case Texas. According to Team Veneno Rubio "at the end of the fight, in a very suspicious way, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. practically fled from the dressing room without leaving a sample to be medically evaluated later."
Team Veneno Rubio further charges that the attitude of Chavez Jr. and his team is very suspicious, as if they are trying to hide something. They question why during the press conference when Chavez was asked why he had not left a urine sample for examination, he chose to ignore that question while answering other comfortable questions. They also allege that the question was asked to WBC President Jose Sulaiman, whom they claim shrugged his shoulders and said "we forgot."
Recalling Chavez' fight in December 2009 with Troy Rowland where drug testing detected a diuretic called furosemide that led to Chavez getting a seven month suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Promociones del Pueblo wants Chavez Jr. to immediately submit to the still pending urine test as there are illegal substances that are stored in the body for six months and an analysis can still uncover doping.
Rubio promoter Oswaldo Kuchle stated "The WBC must respond to this because the people on the champion's team bypassed the rules, generating a huge controversy which questions the victory of the current middleweight champion."

Elizabeth Arden's Pure Finish Mineral Powder FoundationFriday, January 30, 2009
I love trying out new foundations. Why? I'm not sure. I'll find one I like, buy it a few times, then I get allured by new things out there. I guess that's why I have this blog!
So, when I heard about the new foundation from Elizabeth Arden I was excited to try it out. I've had some good and some bad experiences with mineral makeup. But, I've always had great success with Elizabeth Arden. I was hoping to have results like my previous L'Oreal success, but maybe with easier application.
Overall, I found this new Elizabeth Arden to be a great foundation. It comes in a really great compact. The foundation itself is a pressed powder, but if you look carefully there is a metal plate over it. You can get the makeup by running a brush over the metal plate for a small amount of foundation, or you can twist the plate and it will scrape up some foundation for you! This gives you a lot of control over how much foundation you get and where it goes. While the foundation comes with a powder puff, I also used a brush for more coverage.
The foundation itself is fantastic. The coverage is very buildable, blends very easily and the finish is very natural. With the enclosed puff the coverage is very light. I got medium coverage using a small brush, I'm sure you could use it for fuller coverage as well if you want. I found that the foundation lasted easily all day, without the typical mid-afternoon issues that many foundations have.
This is a foundation I can definitely recommend! Check it out next time you're on the market for foundation.

You may see Shahrukh Khan and Kajol romance again on big screens if all goes well. The news is doing the rounds that Yash Chopra is planning to recreate Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge magic by roping in Kajol for his directorial comeback starring Shahrukh and Katrina Kaif. Kajol is again going to re-create the magic of romance with Shahrukh Khan in Yash Raj Film flicks to be directed by Yash Chopra after seven years. It is going to be a love triangle and Katrina Kaif will play the other lead. It is said that the Yash Raj Films' next venture featuring Shahrukh and Katrina could be a love triangle, and Kajol could be roped in to play the second heroine. Adding fuel to the fire, Kajol was spotted at Yash Raj Studios. Sources said that the actress would play one of the lead roles or a cameo in the yet-to-be-titled film. The source reveals, "Chopra is very keen to have Kads opposite Shah Rukh. He is quite fond of both of them and loves their onscreen pairing. He feels that they can create the same magic." "While it's sure that Katrina will star in the film, it could be possible that the movie is a love triangle and that they have approached Kajol to either reprise the other romantic lead or do a cameo," the source further adds. Well, it would be a treat to see Shahrukh and Kajol together again on big screens!

Hello Everyone,
I just got my first Subaru Impreza WRX. I am loving it.
It is a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX with only 12000 miles. I used to have a 1992 Subaru Legacy GT, but the clutch went out and I didn't have enough money to get another Subaru at the time, but now I am back.
I took some pics today, hope you like. I look forward to learning a lot from this forum; I already saw a lot of helpful posts regarding Turbo lag and performance.

|Inspection of VA Regional Office Milwaukee, Wisconsin
|Report Number:
|Issue Date:
|Milwaukee, WI
|VA Office:
|Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA)
|Report Author:
|Office of Audits and Evaluations
|Report Type:
|Benefits Inspection
|Release Type:
We evaluated the Milwaukee VARO to see how well it accomplishes its mission. We found the VARO staff did not accurately process 8 of 49 disability claims reviewed. We sampled claims we consider to be at higher risk of processing errors, thus these results do not represent the overall accuracy of disability claims processing at this VARO. Claims processing lacked consistent compliance with VBA procedures and resulted in paying inaccurate and unnecessary financial benefits. Specifically, 6 of 30 temporary 100 percent disability evaluations we reviewed were inaccurate. Errors in processing the temporary evaluations generally occurred because VARO staff did not enter suspense diaries into the electronic record or take timely action to reduce benefits as appropriate. Additionally, staff incorrectly processed 2 of 19 traumatic brain injury claims.
VARO managers ensured Systematic Analyses of Operations were complete and timely. However, staff did not always accurately address Gulf War veterans' entitlement to mental health treatment. VARO staff provided adequate outreach to homeless veterans in the VAROs area of jurisdiction; however, we could not fully assess the effectiveness of these outreach activities because VBA needs performance metrics for its homeless veterans outreach program.
We recommended the VARO Director should implement a plan to ensure staff review for accuracy the 294 temporary 100 percent disability evaluations we provided at the end of this inspection. The Director concurred with our recommendation. Management's planned actions are responsive and we will follow up as required.

Weisman's 'Review': Still getting raves after 35 years
Wed Jan 16 2013
Despite all the changes in the Chicago news business over the last 35 years, one reliable constant has been the man in charge of Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review.
Each week since January 20, 1978, Joel Weisman has presided over a roundtable of reporters, dissecting the week's news and putting it in perspective. (Technically, he was a guest on that first show and took over as host and senior editor the following week.) It's an unparalleled run in local television.
Once describing himself as "provocateur, referee, city editor and traffic cop," the 70-year old Weisman is uniquely suited to the role: He's a lifelong Chicagoan, veteran newspaperman, award-winning broadcaster, seasoned political analyst, respected lawyer and trusted media agent.
"Journalists are among the most interesting people I know," Weisman told me the other day. "They're quick studies and opinionated. They often have to be combative to get the stories out of sometimes-reluctant newsmakers or spokespersons spinning a point of view. I try to capitalize on that combat on the show, letting them debate me and one another."
As The Week in Review marks its 35th anniversary (airing at 7pm Fridays on public television WTTW-Channel 11), Weisman is likely to make mention of the milestone on this week's show. But don't expect him to dwell on it. He'll probably be too busy drawing out the best from his guests, as he always does.
What accounts for Weisman's remarkable success and longevity on the show? Here's what some of his most frequent panelists told me:
Bruce Dold, Chicago Tribune: "Joel is a tremendous host. I really appreciated how he put me at ease the first time I did the show, which was probably close to 30 years ago. He does everything you'd expect as far as preparation, he has the institutional memory for Chicago politics, of course. I think the key is how effortlessly he sets the pace for the conversation. No gaps, no pauses. No speeches or sermons from the panelists. He keeps everybody moving."
Lester Munson, ESPN: "Presiding over a group of four journalists week after week is a real challenge. Joel does it so well that he makes it look much easier than it is. He selects the important stories and is able to focus on economic and education issues that can be dull and boring. With his questions, comments and humor, he makes them interesting. His transitions from one issue to another are uncanny and smooth. His mastery of all issues can be breathtaking. He has surprised me with tough questions on sports issues that I thought I had mastered. He creates the right atmosphere for the show in the time for preparation with his calm demeanor and his bad jokes. It is a joy for me to be a part of the show. Based on the people I meet at concerts, at games, and on the El, his audience is the best audience in Chicago television. He has succeeded for 35 years because there is no one who can do it better."
Mary Mitchell, Chicago Sun-Times: "A great host is able to cut you off without cutting you down. That's Joel!"
John McCarron, Chicago Tribune: "I've done the show well over 100 times since about 1979, and the thing that continues to amaze me is that Joel knows more about the news stories covered on his show than the reporters who cover them. So he must read everything and have a photographic memory. That, plus his contacts with newsroom management owing to his law practice, plus having been an investigative reporter, a city editor and a local bureau chief for the Washington Post . . . it adds up to a rare talent for separating fact from spin, truth from B.S."
Charles Thomas, ABC 7: "What the viewing public does not see is the session before the show during which Joel preps his guests for the discussion of the week's news. After 35 years, he's become an expert in how to 'prime the pump' — to get the reporters talking only to cut them off in order to save their best comments for the show. Week in Review remains some of the most important journalism you'll see on Chicago television. Because of time restrictions TV news must focus on 'hits, runs and errors' especially when reporting on politics. Joel's broadcast offers a reporter like myself the rare opportunity to put those events in perspective."
Mary Ann Ahern, NBC 5: "Joel asks the questions that most viewers are thinking, so it becomes more of a conversation — the kind news junkies love to hear. Nearly every time I've been a guest, I run into viewers who've watched. That's a testament to Joel making Week in Review relevant."
Andy Shaw, Better Government Association: "Joel has a deep knowledge of news and media and decades of institutional memory, along with a sharp mind, a glib tongue and the ability of a maestro to manage egos and orchestrate a broadcast with precision. In other words, the perfect skill set for a long and successful run as host of a valuable and popular news review program. My only regret is that I haven't been on since I left ABC 7 because the only guests are accredited journalists, not civic watchdogs. But I wish him many more years of important contributions to our civil public discourse."

4220 Bluebonnet Blvd. Suite A
Baton Rouge, LA 70809
If you are missing one or more teeth, you'll want to talk with Baton Rouge area dental implant dentist Dr. Richard Cangelosi about replacements that look and feel as natural as your own teeth. If dentures are causing you problems, you may consider dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can be removed, Dr. Cangelosi offers dental implants that are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.

Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.
We all suspect that how we look makes a difference in our lives. Think of the days when everything is going fine - that's a day you're feeling good and probably looking good.
In our teens, looks are everything. But as we get older, we tend to take our appearance for granted, and rely instead on our skills and professional competence to make up for any "cosmetic" imperfections.
Well, "cosmetic" is more than skin deep. We form very real biases about the people around us, even as adults, based on the simple fact of appearance. And the most critical factor in such judgments, according to copious research, is the teeth.
Yes, women are concerned about shape, as men are impressed by height. But everyone reacts the same to a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether we like it or not, people with straight white teeth are perceived to be more honest, more productive, more out-going, trusting, successful - you name it - than their counterparts with a missing tooth or broken teeth.
Your dentist has seen this psychology at work. For his or her patients, children and adults alike, cosmetic dentistry has made a tangible improvement not just in smiles, but in the quality of lives. A smile enhanced by restorative dentistry brings dramatic changes - changes more than "skin deep."
With new materials and techniques - tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, dental veneers, invisible braces - your cosmetic dentist is excited about the "magic" he or she can make. They've seen self-esteem grow before their eyes. Your dentist can help you look good, feel good, and get on with a healthy, vital life. Cosmetic dentistry? Go for it!

Text me if you are interested 941-356-0788. My name is Craig. My asking price on them is $600.00. It is $50.00 under what I paid for them in late August of this year, and I have only had them in the car until now, because I am getting an .:R, and no longer need them! They are in overall great condition, and have only light wear spots, but on the bottom of the rear bench where it does not show. Only things missing are: The rear center seat belt was cut at the retainer that meets the floor of the car, and will have to be repaired, or replaced with the one you currently have, and the recliner wheel's cover on the drivers side popped off before I bought these seats, and needs to be replaced with the one from yours (Sorry took it off to put back onto my rabbit's seats. ) Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

The fact is that every fraudulent business should be exposed, prosecuted and the maximum sentences imposed on the guilty. Some have sympathy because they were in the firearm training business. That makes it even more compelling to administer justice. As gun owners we should respect and uphold the law not flout it for personal interest.

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Padres manager Bruce Bochy is going to have some interesting decisions to make in a few days.
The first will be what to do with Damian Jackson when second baseman Mark Loretta comes off the disabled list on Tuesday.
Jackson, one of the super-subs who have helped keep the Padres atop the NL West despite numerous injuries, extended his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games with a solo homer in San Diego's 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
Ryan Klesko homered for the second straight night and Khalil Greene also connected for the Padres, who increased their lead over the Diamondbacks, their closest pursuers, to a season-high 6½ games.
Leading off the sixth inning, Jackson drove a 2-0 pitch from Claudio Vargas (3-5) into the balcony on the third level of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse just beyond the left-field corner to give the Padres a 3-1 lead. It was his fifth this season.
"Wow, you can't say enough about what Jackson's been doing," Bochy said. "D.J.'s just played tremendous ball. We're going to have get creative here when these guys get back."
Bochy wouldn't say where he plans to play Jackson once Loretta returns, or if he'd stay in the starting lineup for sure.
"With the way he's playing, you'd like to find someplace to put him," Bochy said. "He certainly has earned a lot of playing time."
First baseman Phil Nevin also is expected to be activated on Tuesday.
Greene hit a solo shot to straightaway center off Greg Aquino with two outs in the seventh, his sixth.
All-Star Jake Peavy (8-3) pitched seven strong innings to snap a two-game losing streak. He held the Diamondbacks to one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking two.
With runners on first and third and one out in the seventh, Peavy struck out pinch-hitter Tony Clark and then got Craig Counsell to force Kelly Stinnett at second.
"We got a foot on their throats," Peavy said after the Padres beat the Diamondbacks for the second time in the four-game series. "I hope we can break their backs tomorrow, put some distance between us.
"I want to win every game I start. I want to be a go-to guy, but this was as big a game as I've pitched all year," Peavy said. "I didn't want to let them back in and hope they could win three of four. Now we're guaranteed of a split and they'll leave town 5½ back no matter what."
Bochy called Peavy's outing "a gutty performance."
Trevor Hoffman pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 29 chances. With 420 career saves, he needs just four to tie John Franco for second on the all-time list.
After each team had 13 hits in a 10-7 Padres win on Friday night, the Diamondbacks had just six hits and the Padres five.
The Diamondbacks felt they had good at-bats against Peavy but didn't have much to show for it. Their only run came on Chad Tracy's solo homer in the first, his 11th.
"When we had chances, he just seemed to bear down a little bit extra and get the outs that he needed to," Tracy said.
"We hit Peavy as hard as we've hit him," manager Bob Melvin said. "But we hit balls right at people. We just didn't hit with some better luck."
The Padres took a 2-1 lead in the first on Brian Giles' RBI groundout and Klesko's solo homer to right-center with two outs.
Klesko homered just to the left of the 411 sign, the deepest part of Petco Park. It was his 16th. He had nine homers last year, when he was not only coming off shoulder surgery, but was one of the Padres' sluggers who groused about Petco's spacious dimensions.
"The ball does carry a little bit later in the season," Klesko said. "The weather's a little hotter. I hit it good. You hit balls like that later in the game or earlier in the year when it's colder and it probably won't carry as far."
Klesko hit a two-run homer in the first inning of Friday night's win.
Vargas lost for the first time in four decisions. He allowed three runs and three hits in six innings, struck out three and walked two.
Arizona 3B Troy Glaus was back in the lineup after missing the start Friday night so a team doctor could examine his left knee. ... Glaus fouled a ball off his left shin in the sixth. ... Padres C Ramon Hernandez, who will be eligible for free agency after this season, wouldn't confirm or deny reports that he's changing agents from Eric Goldschmidt to Scott Boras. "Everyone keeps asking me about that," Hernandez said. "I'm tired of hearing that." Said Boras: "I don't comment on what players I meet with or talk with."

I bought a digital download of sims 3 seasons and it was placed onto my origin account. it only took about ten minutes for it to download to my computer. I then began installing it onto my sims 3 game, but it took 8 hours. WHY?...This is not the first time this has happened. All the games I have ever gotten from origin and tried to install onto my computer, they have all taken many hours. I'm really starting to get frustrated. Why is this happening!?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I am direct downloading the Sims 3, and it has been downloading for over 24 hours, almost 30 hours to be exact. Its currently at 94%. I have high speed internet so there is no reason for it to be this freaking slow!!mileyindifferent:
I got my brand new laptop on Friday. Saturday afternoon I started trying to download the sims. It said then that it was going to take 30+ hours. They weren't kidding. My laptop has gone to sleep a few times but it's Monday night and I'm only up to 91%. I have hi speed cable internet and 4 brand new shiny gigs of RAM. There is no reason that I can think of for why this is downloading so slow. It's making me wish that I had bought the CD.
I just bought Sims3 Pets and it is going to take 19 hours. This is a joke. Wish I'd just bought the CD.
Does anyone answer these questions? I have same issue....not taking quite as long as some of these folk above have described, but compared to other game launchers, this is really really a long time to install a game. Odd. Would love to hear what is up with this.
yeah it does take a long time. every game I have ever download through orgin has taken a ridiculously long time. I just purchase the sime paradise island (had to take advantage of the 60% sale) its taking forever, i'm sure I wont play it tonight. I started dowloading at 8pm its now 11pm and it's still downloading. For me I think this will be the last digital game I purchase from them. Its just too much frustration and doesnt seem to be getting any better as if they didn't know
This happens to me every time i download a game it takes like 10 30 minutes to download but the installing takes like 1 day. onetime the installing took 3days and 8 hoursmileymad:mileysad:
I guess EA doesn't care or they don't have an answer. It took 3 hours to downloand BF3, and it has just been on installing for 3 hours now, 6 hours for one game so far, and I bet it'll be installing in the morning
I am also having this problem and was attempting to get an answer but I guess no one really knows. I bought an expansion and origin told me I had to uninstall the base game and install it from origin!! It has been downloading for 17 hours and at 86%. I bought 3 more expansion packs during the 60% off sale. At this rate I wont be playing until next year!!!

So I installed the sims 3 on my lap top first and it only took about an hour to download, so then I installed the sims island paradise and then it pops up that the game needs an update so when I go to update it and it says it's downloading patches or whatever but I've left the laptop on all night and it's still at 0% what do I need to do?
If you left it all night and there was no progress then the best thing to do at the moment would be to restart Origin. I would also recommend restarting your computer and router.

A Remington 870 and a Sig P220 Equinox. Probably the P220ST that is in the shop I work at currently, too. Can't help it. It feels like a brick, but I am loving it!
Browning Hi=Power and a whole lot of ammo.
Having just bought my Kimber, I'm still in the refractory stage.
Full sized 1911
Smallish S&W .357 revolver (not a super light-weight)
Ruger Blackhawk in .44 mag
And yes, I think I'm probably ready to give the old Walther P99 sub a try.
You can tell, I've not put a lot of thought into these ...
I may have become addicted, just not yet obsessed. But give me time.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
.50 caliber rifle.
I actually plan on my next two purchases to be AMT Hardballers, unless I can't find any I like and settle on stainless steel Springfield GI 1911's.. Either way its no dream gun(s), its just the next on my fairly short list.
Also want a polished stainless steel IMI Jericho 941 in the .41AE cal with the 9mm barrel conversion. They have aftermarket 34rd magazines for this gun! The original full-size Jericho(sometimes called Eagle, Desert Eagle, and Baby Eagle) are incredibly comfortable guns. I hate the new plastic ones, but the original metal ones are awesome.
Diff'rent strokes really do move the world.
An Ithaca Deerslayer III and an Ithaca Model 37 "Riot Gun".
Who am I kidding? If I had the money, I'd buy one of each of the new models.

If 2k is not too much to magically have, then a Wilson Combat CQB. A Glock 19 or 23 would be next. I've also wanted an M-1 carbine for a long time.
I've found the longslide Hardballers to be pretty expensive in good condition, as well as rare, while the new line of SA GI .45's are quite common. I've had two good friends that spoke well of the Hardballers, that has something to do with it as well.

New exhibition explores our love and hate of money
By Chris Michaud
NEW YORK (Reuters) - How does money make you feel? Fearful, stressed, happy?
U.S. financial guru Suze Orman has teamed with the producer of the popular Body Worlds exhibits for a new traveling show to look at how we relate to and understand money.
Orman, media star and author of best-selling books on personal finance, described the finance-themed exhibit as "an extension of my life's work as a financial educator, and an innovative way to teach people about money".
The interactive, multi-media exhibit, "Economia: Money Matters," will begin a five-year, nationwide tour in the fall of next year, starting in Chicago. The admission-charging show will move on to other venues that include science and natural history museums.
Gail Vida Hamburg, who designed and developed the exhibition, said she hit on the idea several years ago.
"I found a study about worry, stress and depression and their links to money or rather the lack of money ... I realized that I could synthesize all of this information into a designed exhibition with multimedia and interactives (displays)," said Hamburg, who designed the Body Worlds traveling exhibition of preserved human corpses that has toured Europe, North America and Asia.
The Money Matters exhibit spans 7,000 square feet with galleries on phases of life ranging from College Road to Third Phase, or retirement. It aims to meet national and state financial literacy goals for children and adults.
Hamburg, who founded museum exhibit firm Rainworks Omnimedia in 2010, believes the show's appeal is universal because money is something that everyone has a relationship with throughout life. Continued...

HSBC is not happy with Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods
By mustang6560 on 10/31/12
The fourth and final World Golf Championships event, the HSBC Champions, starts in a few hours and the field is strong — 13 of the top 20 players in the world will be competing for a piece of the $7 million prize.
But two of the seven players in the top 20 that aren't in the field include Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, world number one and world number two respectively. The fact neither player decided to make the short trip to Guangdong following their 18-hole exhibition in nearby Zhengzhou makes Giles Morgan mad. And when Giles, who is the group head of sponsorship at HSBC, gets mad, he's tells you he's mad.
"On one hand we are delighted to have 13 of the world's top 20 here, but of course we're disappointed not to have the two top players in the world," said Morgan. "Both have sent me apologies but this is an event which should be regarded by all players as it is by the tours and the media as one of the top events in the world.Giles has a point. The WGC events are supposed to be more prestigious than a regular PGA or European Tour event and if Rory and Tiger don't show up, then they're nothing more than another off season golf tournament.
Do you think Rory and Tiger are obligated to play in the WGC-HSBC Champions?

Ianinho says:
If they have nothing in their contract saying they have to play in this tournament, then they are perfectly within their rights not to play.
mmontisano says:
everyone's event is the top event in the world...to them. and besides, it's the European Tour. if you want the top players to show up, give them an appearance fee. that usually works.
if the littler events on the PGA Tour were allowed to give appearance fees, they'd see more top players.
Matt McGee says:
It would be interesting to know why they both skipped the event. You know - the real reason - not the one they're going to publicize.
Torleif Sorenson says:
As important as Tiger and Rory are, what they did is basically the same as members of the Los Angeles Kings playing in the entire Stanley Cup playoffs, then skipping the NHL awards ceremony because they're "tired."
GolfSmith7 says:
Could it be because they have a big announcement to make in the states? Tiger welcoming Rory to the Nike team when they introduce there new "threat"? So instead of rushing home they could be rested for it and the new commercial shoots.
bobhooe says:
NFL players skipping the Pro Bowl, same deal.

Payton inks two-year deal with O's
Payton inks two-year deal with O's
The 34-year-old outfielder hails from Raleigh, N.C, and he said his mother, Beth, often stayed up to 1:30 or 2 a.m. trying to watch his games with Oakland since he was traded to the A's midway through the 2005 season. But Payton signing a two-year deal with the Orioles on Monday will make it easier for his mom and family to watch him on television and see him in person.
Payton's family couldn't see him as much because Oakland is so far away from North Carolina. That's one reason he wanted to get closer to home this offseason and why the Orioles were very high on his list. According to the Associated Press and Baltimore Sun, Payton will get $9.5 million over the two years.
"I'm an East Coast guy," Payton said. "I was hoping they'd have a need here ... and my family had a lot to do with it."
Payton also had some contact with various Orioles. He knew Kevin Millar, Ramon Hernandez, Melvin Mora and even Jim Duquette, the team's vice president of baseball operations.
"There's a lot of familiarity here," Payton said.
Payton also said he's not really worried about where the Orioles put him in the lineup. Simply put, he'll bat wherever manager Sam Perlozzo tells him.
"I don't expect to start 162 games," Payton said. "I'll hit anywhere, one through nine, wherever they put me. I know my role."
Duquette said Payton is a line-drive hitter who could fare even better in the hitter-friendly Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
"His playoff experience will be a welcome addition in the clubhouse," Duquette said. "He's an RBI guy."
Payton led Oakland with a .296 average as the A's won the American League West Division in 2006. He finished with 10 homers and 59 RBIs in 142 games while batting .296 against both left- and right-handed pitching.
Payton also has played for the Mets, Rockies, Padres and Red Sox before going to the A's at the 2005 All-Star break in a deal for reliever Chad Bradford, another Orioles free-agent signee this offseason.
The Orioles liked Payton for several reasons, the most important of which were his versatility and his ability to hit against both lefties and righties.
"Jay fits our need for a right-handed-hitting outfielder," said Mike Flanagan, Orioles executive vice president for baseball operations. "He likely will see time at each outfield spot for us as well."
In 2006, Payton showed that versatility in a big way. He made 136 starts in the outfield, with 51 games in left field, 44 in center and 41 in right. That ability to jump around to different positions made him interesting to the Orioles.
He is the only outfielder in the Major Leagues since 1957, when these records starting being kept, to start at least 40 games in each of the three outfield positions in one season.
Duquette said despite the team's several moves this winter, the club still is looking for more. The Orioles have talked with agents for Aubrey Huff and Shannon Stewart, and Duquette said this move will make the Orioles take one player off their 40-man roster.
"There's a lot of areas we've improved," Duquette said. "We still have a lot of work to do."
But Payton clearly was happy after the signing. His family should feel good also.

Renewing America's Food Traditions
A search for forgotten delicacies.I was once asked what I would do if I had to choose to eat just one of America's distinct heritage cuisines exclusively. Would I head to the Mississippi Delta to try the crayfish, rockfish and gumbo of Creole and Cajun dishes, or to a New England Yankee farmstead to savor one of the region's many heirloom cider apples, roasted root vegetables, mutton or cheeses? Would I travel instead to Puget Sound for Chinook salmon cooked over a smoky fire on alder sticks and topped with a huckleberry sauce? Or hunker down in a canyon in the Southwest for grilled, range-fed goat, Hatch chiles and tomatillos?
As my imagination raced around the continent, my mouth watered. I thought about the question during a long, long pause, then replied, "I think I'd cry…" I would cry with joy at the astounding diversity of native foods we still have. And I would cry with sorrow at what we have lost and may still lose.
A century ago, when my Lebanese grandparents immigrated to the Great Lakes region, they were amazed by the country's fertile soils, rich waters and the unfathomable diversity of foods. There were hundreds of varieties of cherries and plums being grown on neighboring farms; and lake perch, smelt and pike were abundant in the waters in front of their home in the Indiana Dunes. At the time, most U.S. households were still involved in some kind of gardening, farming, foraging or fishing and my grandfather became a fruit peddler and fishmonger. When I would visit, "Papa," as I called him, would appear with a fresh-picked heirloom plum hidden in his fist. He would open his hand and present me with a purplish red gift ready to explode with flavor.

French firm gives up on Turkish dam
Turkey's controversial Yusufeli dam project has edged closer to collapse after the withdrawal of a French construction company.
Spie, which was taken over by Britain's Amec on 5 December, said it was dropping out of the consortium after a "review of its strategic direction".
Amec itself pulled out in March 2002, saying it was unlikely to make a return which would justify the investment and that it preferred to concentrate on "service-related" activities.
But both companies have been subject to heavy lobbying from lobby groups which say the dam would severely damage the lives of local Kurdish people, archaeological sites and the environment.
Turkey's other main dam project, the Ilisu complex in the south east of the country, has seen half a dozen Western companies walk away in the past few years.
Both dams are in areas inhabited by Turkey's Kurdish minority.
On the edge
The Yusufeli project is not dead yet.
Alstom, another French engineering group, is still publicly behind the Turkish government's plans, with banks Barclays and BNP Paribas reportedly offering financing.
And the Turkish government is desperate for ways to prime its economy which is in tatters, thanks to political instability and runaway inflation.
But Alstom's own participation could still be at risk.
Coface, France's export credit agency, had made Spie's application for backing for its Yusufeli involvement conditional on the project meeting World Bank standards for dams.
The same conditions could apply to Alstom.
Friends of the Earth, the international ecological pressure group, says Yusufeli has already fallen foul of that rule.
The project, FoE says, will submerge 15,000 people's homes while affecting the livelihoods of 15,000 more.

Sept. 19, 2013
PITTSBURGH -- Pitt cross country will be back in action on Saturday, making the trip to Latrobe, Pa., for the St. Vincent Invitational. Competition begins at 10 a.m. with the men's eight-kilometer race followed by the women's 5K at 11:15 a.m.
Just as was the case with last week's Spiked Shoe Invitational hosted by Penn State, the Panthers have little experience with the St. Vincent Invite. No current Pitt runner has competed in Latrobe.
The Panthers and the Bearcats aren't complete strangers though. The schools' men's teams faced off at the Duquesne Duals a few weeks ago. Pitt won 19-42 against St. Vincent's, finishing each of its top seven before St. Vincent's third runner.
Pitt's top groups have been consistent early in the season. On the men's side, Cullen Davis, who was the first Panther across the finish line at Penn State last Friday, Michael Runco, Rich Addison and Luke Swomley have made up Pitt's leading four in each of the team's two meets this fall.
Six of the first seven women for Pitt have also been the same in both meets although there has been some shuffling among that unit. Only Morgan Perry, who was second on the team and placed among the top 20 overall at both the Duquesne Duals and Spiked Shoe Invite, maintained her position. Hillary Boxheimer took the team's top spot at Duquesne, but she was replaced by Dee Dee Adams at Penn State. Also in that steady group of six are Cayla Del Piano, Karli O'Neill and Paige Anderson.
Adams placed 14th overall at Penn State to lead Pitt. That made her the first Panther rookie to lead the team since Rachel Brown did it last year at the Paul Short Invitational on Sept. 28.
While the women's squad has been dominated by youth - junior Perry and senior Stephanie Powers are the only Panthers older than sophomore status to score this season - freshmen have been playing an equally important role in the men's success. Wes Roberts and Chris Pastore have both scored for the Panthers in each meet, and Josh Trzeciak earned that distinction last week as well. Finishing just outside the top seven so far has been fellow rookie Chris Montgomery, but the quartet has remained bunched in the results throughout the young season.
After racing at St. Vincent's, two of the next three meets for Pitt will be in Indiana. First up on the schedule is the Notre Dame Invitational set for the afternoon of Oct. 4 in South Bend. A return to Pittsburgh for the CMU Invite (Oct. 12) and then back to Indiana for Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute (Oct. 19) will wrap up the month of October and the regular season.

Keystone XL Activists Greet Obama at Santa Monica Fundraiser
This morning, as President Obama attended a fundraiser in Santa Monica, a crowd of over 100 activists was there to remind him of their opposition to the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, which would transport 830,000 thousand barrels a day of the world's dirtiest oil and would open up development of the Canadian tar sands, among the largest carbon bombs on the planet. The group called on the President to keep his climate promises and protect future generations by rejecting the Keystone pipeline and making meaningful progress on confronting climate change.
Represented in the crowd was a diverse coalition of local and national organizations working on environmental and progressive issues. Activists from Sierra Club, Sierra Club Angeles Chapter, 350.org, Tar Sands Action Southern California, CREDO, the Center for Biological Diversity, Burbank Green Alliance, and Wilder Utopia attended the rally, as well as Sierra Student Coalition, Green Festival Los Angeles, Bio-Diesel Co-op, Citizens Climate Lobby Pasadena Foothills Chapter, AEP, Miss R*EVOLutionaries, Friends of the Earth, Sachamama, and Interfaith Power and Light.
Jack Eidt, Organizer with Tar Sand Action SoCal and Founder/Editor of WilderUtopia, emphasized the significance of President Obama's decision: "President Obama has the rare opportunity to reject the pipeline without having to consult Congress. Should he reject the project based on its adverse climatic effects, he would demonstrate world leadership in recognizing the mutually beneficial relationship between ecology and economy."
Darrell Clarke, Volunteer Co-Lead with Sierra Club's Beyond Oil Campaign, added, "We're here to tell President Obama to reject Keystone XL for our children's future. We can create jobs and make America truly energy independent with clean energy. Dirty tar sands can't get us there."
Jim Waterhouse, of Citizens Climate Lobby, said: "We urge citizens to demand meaningful climate legislation to ensure a survivable planet. Along with rejecting the Keystone XL, the best next step is a Carbon Fee with proceeds returned to the people."
Sherry Anne Lear, co-founder of Miss R*EVOLutionaries, a progressive women's group based in Los Angeles, added, "Miss R*EVOLutionaries considers climate change one of the most critical issues facing our generations and the future generations and we are adamantly opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline as well as tar sands extraction. The Obama administration has not followed through on its promises to protect our environment and President Obama clearly has enough information by now to know that the Keystone XL Pipeline project must be rejected. Our Earth and our children are depending on this."
The fight over the Keystone XL pipeline has energized millions and become a test of President Obama's commitment to dealing with the climate crisis. This event followed a similar rally yesterday outside a fundraiser attended by the President in Palo Alto, California, as part of an ongoing effort over the past several months to meet President Obama at nearly all of his public events and demand that he keep his promises on climate and reject the permit for the pipeline.

O.K. I went looking for a stereo setup for the STi I plan on getting in Jan./Feb. This is what i think Ive decided on:
MB Quart Premium PCE 216 components for the front.
MB Quart DFiscus DKE 116 for the rear
Eclipse 12" Titanium sub - single
OBCON Godzilla enclosure
Eclipse DA7122 D class amp
Eclipse CD8443 headunit
This setup is a bit pricey but just 1 10" in the godzilla enclosuer made the 2 Infinity Kappas I had seem lame. It matched there perfomance if not exceeded it. And i typically HATE ported boxes.
I wanted to use two subs, but the amp I would need pulls 200 amps and the last car (eclipse) they tried it in, on a hard hit, would kill the car off. Complete shutdown. They ended up installing two extra batterys to prevent it. I know this helps but id perfer an upgraded altenator. Has anyone done this? I know it was brough up befor but cant seem to find the post, and dont rember anyone replying back on wether it worked for them. Supposedly SOA said the upgraded alt would fry the ECU. I dont see how but does anyone have ant info on this or the parts Ive selected for the stereo? Thanks. Id really like to have everything picked out before I get the car.

Samsung Posts Record $7.3 Billion Quarterly Profit
Shane McGlaun

Sender E-mail
Samsung Galaxy S III
Full quarterly results are due by the end of the month
Samsung has offered up its official financial numbers for its latest quarter and has posted record quarterly profit. Samsung posted a profit of $7.3 billion, which is nearly twice the figure from the same quarter of last year. Samsung says that strong sales of high-end TVs and its
Galaxy smartphones
were the key drivers for the record profits.
While Samsung Electronics is riding high this quarter, most expect the next quarter to be significantly more challenging. Samsung is believed to have spent about $2.7 billion on marketing in the quarter spanning July to September alone during the London Olympic Games and to promote the new Galaxy smartphone. The estimate on marketing expenses comes from Credit Suisse.
Other reasons Samsung may see a significant decline in profitability in the next quarter have to do with higher performance related payouts to many Samsung employees thanks to the record profits experience so far this year. Samsung also has to consider the
$1 billion in damages it owes Apple for patent infringements
if it's unable to overturn the ruling.
Most analysts expect earnings to continue to climb until Q2 2013 with a decline in computer sales and a weakening global economy that will reduce the demand for electronics. Analysts are also pointing out that a misstep in the smartphone market could prove disastrous for Samsung since much of its profits rely on smartphone sales.
"The biggest risk for Samsung is competitive product line-ups from its rivals such as the iPhone 5," said Byun Han-joon, an analyst at KB Investment & Securities.
Samsung's full quarterly results are due by October 26.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Doctor's Office Dame
Stepping out for a regular checkup, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showed up at a medical center in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon (August 4).
The 27-year-old supermodel/actress kept it casual in a loose white tank top with cuffed jeans and grey snake high heel sandals as she made her exit, only to find a swarm of shutterbugs had gathered to greet her.
In her new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Rosie credits her boyfriend Jason Statham for helping her maintain her sanity.
She explains, "That's what makes being with an Englishman out there so great. I mean, we live in Hollywood, for f*ck's sake. It would be easy to lose touch with reality."
And thankfully, "I'm not the girl falling out of a nightclub with my knickers around me ankles."

Disappointing: Thomson Dream Cruise Review by Islay 1
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Other
It really disappointed from the word 'go'
The flight was delayed by 1 1/2 hours and there was no explanation for that although once we were all on the plane, it took off fairly quickly and had a good flight.
The arrival at Palma was swift and we quickly got on board only to be directed to The Orion Restaurant for our safety briefing....well what a lot of nonsense that was. Apparently because of some late flights we all had to gather there to get the briefing as the other passengers had already done so earlier in the evening. Instead of them giving us the presentation on the bus, we all had to wait for all the buses to come in for a 5 minute presentation which was completely ridiculous. On More top of that we were not allowed to order a drink while waiting over an hour as it was the policy not to serve drinks whilst doing a safety demo..........oh come on Thomson!!! if the ship were ever to go down, how many of the passengers on board will not have had a libation or two!!!......unbelievable!!
Didn't even know at the end what we were all doing but we had booked the same cabin as last year so just made our own way there.
We had booked a Grand Suite which is pretty much shabby chic but acceptable and i have to say Yolanda was very good at keeping the place spic and span but there is only so much you can do with the place now as it is in need of serious upgrading. I know it's going into dry dock at the end of the year for some upgrading but i do wonder how much it will change.
The staff didn't seem as keen this year for some reason and lacked the enthusiasm of last year, although they were still very good.
The sail away party was abandoned due to the rain and there was no mention of it until i asked with the laclustre reply of "it's on deck 8"...neddless to say, there was nothing going on there by the time we got there.....
I'm boring myself now with this review but one other thing i was quite annoyed with was that they have made deck 10 a smoking area as opposed to deck 9 as in the seating area side of things which was good as you felt as though you weren't imposing on the non-smokers. The only problem there was that it was always filled with Thomson staff, ie the destination staff and the show crew which i didn't think was appropriate as they took over the whole area. Not good!!
Unfortunately we had already booked for next year so i'm pretty sure i won't be getting my deposit back as we definately won't be going back until things improve.
Sorry Thomson, you didn't make the mark this time. Less

JVC Mobile Mini Note MP-XV841US
Ultraportable notebooks are small enough to fit inside briefcases, but they rarely offer integrated optical drives, instead sticking you with the hassle of packing a USB-connected peripheral. The 3.2-pound JVC Mobile Mini Note MP-XV841US, however, has a built-in DVD-ROM and CD-RW combo drive--and in fact, the notebook makes a decent DVD movie player. It took a couple of minutes for our disc to launch, perhaps because the Mini Note pulls video memory from main RAM, but after that the movie ran smoothly on the Mini Note's bright 8.9-inch screen. Sound from the stereo speaker outlets, located above the keyboard, was low but clear and adjustable via a side wheel. A set of small silver buttons on the front control track playbacks. With a battery life of 4.7 hours in our tests, the Mini Note would make a great addition to your carry-on for listening to CDs or watching DVDs with headphones on a long cross-country flight.
A typical subnotebook, the $2300 Mini Note measures 9.3 inches wide by 8.4 inches deep by a chunky (for a subnotebook) 1.7 inches tall. The small, stiff screen lid balks at opening, but the picture is bright and the native resolution of 1024 by 600 makes text easy to read. A heavy black battery pack takes up the rear and adds 2 inches to the footprint, though you can also get a compact battery. Most of the Mini Note's connections are stuffed onto the sides, including network and modem jacks, one PC Card slot, two USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, and an SD Card slot. The dual-band Wi-Fi is controlled by a left-side on/off switch, a nice extra. A short, bundled VGA adapter cable connects to a left-side mini-VGA port. Moderately upgradeable, the Mini Note comes with a base 256MB of RAM and a memory slot that will take an additional 256MB or 512MB module for a maximum of 768MB. The mini-VGA port also accepts a port replicator bar that adds four more USB ports for a total of six. On the downside, the unit's 4200-rpm 40GB hard drive is not user accessible.
The Mini Note comes with an ultra-low-voltage 1-GHz/600-MHz Pentium M processor for ultraportables. Considering that this CPU is slower than a standard notebook chip, the Mini Note performed well in our tests, earning a WorldBench 5 score of 52. That's about 31 percent slower than the average 1.6-GHz/600-MHz Pentium M-equipped notebook we've tested, but right on the average for ultraportables we've tested. The only truly bad news is the keyboard. It has some good points, such as Delete and Ctrl keys in opposite corners. But the Chiclet-size keys are crammed together and feel particularly shallow due to their 1.5mm keystroke, which is half the typical travel depth. We had to flog the spacebar with our thumbs, and we pressed Enter instead of the apostrophe, as well as PgUp instead of the right Shift. One wonders what the designers could have accomplished had they omitted the less-than-crucial Windows keys.
If mastering small keyboards is a challenge you can embrace, the Mini Note has a lot to offer. It provides basic connections, a small but bright readable screen, and an integrated combination drive. These features would make it a threat to the IBM ThinkPad X40 if not for its poor keyboard. Though the 2.8-pound X40 lacks an integrated drive, its keyboard is light years ahead of the Mini Note's in layout and comfort.
