1st Time Cruiser: Pride of America Cruise Review by Hawaii1st
Overall Member Rating
1st Time Cruiser
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: Honolulu
We went to Honolulu 2 days ahead of our sail date to help with the jet lag and also in case we encountered travel delays due to weather or other causes. I highly recommend this. On our first day in Honolulu we went to Pearl Harbor and toured the memorial. The cost of visiting the Missouri and some submarine was more than we wanted to spend. We stayed in the Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber which is right across the street from Waikiki beach. Our room was nice.
Embarkation on Saturday was a breeze and as soon as you walk on the ship you are greeted with champagne or mimosas. Lunch was available in the Aloha Cafe. Lots of food! I was overwhelmed. Our balcony stateroom was clean and More although small, it was ok for 2 people. The bathrooms are tiny!
Our first morning on Maui we had a scheduled excursion on a submarine in Lahaina(my husband insisted on this one). It was OK. After the sub ride we stayed in Lahaina, had lunch at a 50's style place that a young man on the sub recommended. We then wandered around the small village browsing in the shops until it was time to go to the "Old Lahaina Luau" which we booked on our own. This luau is a must see! It was outdoors, on the waterfront, beautiful setting,a small audiencenot commercial like the second luau we went to on Kauai. (Luau Kalamaku is overcrowded, long lines to the bar, very commercialfill up with as many people as they can)Don't waste your money. Because we had taken a tour bus to get to Lahaina we had no way to get back to the ship, a one way taxi ride to the ship was going to cost between 70 and 90 dollars! No public transportation runs late at night so we found Hertz and luckily were able to rent a small car for only 48 dollars! They were very accommodating. Rent a car ahead of time!
Day two in Maui we went on another excursion "The Best of Maui". We saw the Iao needle and a small botanical garden, we went to the Maui Ocean Center, this is an aquarium.
Next day in Hilo, HI we went to the Volcano National Park. We went to the visitor center at the top of the volcano, walked through Thurston Lava Tube (cool)then we went to Rainbow Falls which was beautiful but the minute we got there it started pouring so we took a quick pic then it was back on the bus.That night the captain sailed past where the volcano flows into the ocean, he got quite close...it was very cool!
The next day we did the "Rainforest & Waterfalls" tour. This time we were in small 10 passenger vans with a young girl as our guide. She drove us all over the island showing us the back roads of Hawaii, beautiful scenery,old lava flow sites, rainforest, botanical gardens, and waterfalls. Very nice.
The next day we were on Kauai and were signed up for "Luau and Plantation Train" This one I would skip. This is the previously mentioned Luau Kalamaku. Having already gone to the Old Lahaina Luau it gave us something to compare it with and the Old Lahaina Luau was far better.
The next day we did the "Wailua River & Fern Grotto". This is a short riverboat ride upriver at which point you get off the boat and walk to the place called the fern grotto. This one I could have skipped also.
On our last day when we got back to Oahu we had booked "The Grand Circle Island Tour" because we had a very late flight back home. This took us starting from the pier along the coast stopping at various scenic points all the way to the Dole Plantation. Some places the driver was not able to stop at due to the size of the bus.If I could do it over I would have rented a car and ventured out on our own instead of this tour. I have left out a lot because we saw so much I could write a book. If you want to see Hawaii, more than one island and you don't want to pack and unpack every other day and hop on planes every other day then this is a fantastic way to see 4 islands. The people of Hawaii were all extremely friendly and happy to have us there. The economy has hurt them and they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. About the ship, as first time cruisers we have nothing to compare this with so with that said, I thought the food was adequate, the accommodations were equivalent to a Holiday Inn, all the staff were extremely friendly, I did have to ask for a few towels a couple of times though. Some other veteran cruisers were overheard complaining that this ship was not up to par with others they have been on. My husband and I both enjoyed ourselves and would cruise again. I hope my long winded speech was helpful to those considering this cruise. Less

There was no reason to believe Jim Wilburn (BS '74) would become a
Tulsa media mogul. He had no pedigree, no connections and no money.
What he did possess in abundance, however, was a preternatural drive to
succeed that more than made up for any deficits in his background.
that extraordinary drive has taken him to the top of the sports
broadcasting industry, making Winnercomm, the company he co-founded
more than a quarter century ago, one of the largest independent
television sports production companies in the nation.
the eldest of four children to blind parents, Wilburn and his siblings
knew intimately the sting of poverty. His father worked in a broom
factory, his low wages barely enough to pay the bills for their tiny
West Tulsa home. From an early age, Wilburn was thrust into the role of
family caretaker, protector and eventual breadwinner.
"I had
to grow up fast," he recalls. "I took on a lot of responsibility at a
very young age. From the time I was five or six, I had one parent on
each arm."
Wilburn detested welfare and the sense of
inadequacy it engendered in him. When well-meaning people would drop by
to deliver free groceries, he would run and hide, too embarrassed to
answer the door. His upbringing gave him a "burning desire to succeed,"
he says. "I told'em I'd show'em all."
From that point on,
Wilburn became a young man in a hurry. He washed dishes to help pay his
way through Bishop Kelley High School before gaining admission to The
University of Tulsa in 1971. When Wilburn arrived on campus, he had no
clue what he would study. But one thing was certain: He would work
hard, holding down jobs as a bus driver for Bishop Kelley, a shoe
salesman at Kinney's and an office aide in TU's Work Study program.
deciding on a major in communication, Wilburn was indefatigable during
his term at TU, and in 1973 he earned the coveted "ugliest man on
campus" prize for various fundraising stunts on behalf of the Alpha Phi
Omega national service fraternity. It was a valuable lesson in
philanthropy for the hard-charging young man.
"It was the first taste I had of helping others and giving something back," Wilburn says. "I loved it."
encounter at TU also helped shape Wilburn's stellar future. His
off-campus landlord, Bill Pitcock (BA '70), happened to be a local
television news anchor. Always straight to the point, Wilburn asked
him, "How do I make a lot of money in this business?" Pitcock's answer
was unequivocal: sales.
"That was it. That's when I decided
to be a salesman," Wilburn says. That summer, he secured an internship
with KTUL Channel 8 and wasted no time fast tracking toward graduation
in just three years.
"I was on the three-year plan," he
jokes. "I was so busy with work and studying that I didn't have time to
get into any trouble. I just was sick and tired of being poor."
dived into his television advertising sales career with gusto, quickly
becoming the top salesman at the station. By age 23, he already was
earning six figures in salary and commission. After years of hustling
TV ads, he was poor no more. But that was not enough.
up with then-Channel 8 sports anchor, Chris Lincoln, Wilburn decided to
turn his passion for horse racing and his knowledge of broadcasting
into a going concern of his own. The pair founded Winner
Communications, which produced thoroughbred racing events for
television. After surviving a financial near-death experience in the
mid-1980s, Wilburn's venture re-emerged a stronger company, landing key
contracts with an up-and-coming cable broadcasting company known as
ESPN. The relationship between Winnercomm (a moniker adopted in 2002)
and ESPN flourishes to this day, with the Tulsa-based company producing
1,000 broadcast hours annually of everything from soccer, bowling,
softball, rodeo, golf and fishing to hunting, lacrosse and, of course,
horse racing. Today, Winnercomm employs 200 people full time and has
2,000 subcontractors.
For his part, Wilburn, 53, is both surprised and honored to be selected as a TU Distinguished Alumnus.
was shocked," he says. "The first thing I thought was there are people
more deserving. I thought I needed to be about 15 years older. But I
love TU and to be picked is very humbling, I can tell you."
member of the University's Board of Trustees and the TU Circle Society,
Wilburn has supported TU for years, particularly its athletic programs
and facilities. Winnercomm has also provided television production
services touting the University and its programs.
"I'm proud of this school," he says. "It helped give me the opportunity to be who I am today."
to mention perhaps the most vital, though intangible qualification of
all: drive. And for Wilburn, that has made all the difference.

As first reported in Street Talk, Snowball has snapped up Shadforth for $200 million in stock in the first merger of financial planning companies since the government announced reforms for advisers last month. The deal has ignited speculation about increasing corporate activity at the smaller end of the wealth sector.
Industry rival
Centric Wealth also flagged potential mergers when chief executive John McMurdo noted the company was in acquisition mode after private equity shareholder CHAMP took a 75 per cent stake in Centric in 2009. McMurdo named Count, Shadforth and Snowball as competitors. Given two of these are off the table, Centric may be forced to widen its radar – or act fast.

Lady Gaga Feels the Most Like Herself 'In the Bath, Naked, In a Sea of Bubbles,' She Says
In an interview with the UK's Stylist magazine, the Mother Monster herself gets pretty revealing as she talks about being in her birthday suit, or "bathtub outfit", as she calls it.
"I would say when I'm in the bath, naked, in a sea of bubbles going, "Aaaah." That is most me – when I'm sighing out the whole day into a warm bath," she gushed. "So I guess what I'm saying is when I'm wearing the bathtub. The bathtub outfit."
"I am throwing my best friend an engagement party this weekend, and I'm going to be seeing all these girls from high school, and I would be totally lying to you if I didn't say I was worried about how I'm going to look!" said the 26-year-old.
"I was saying earlier, 'I have to look fabulous, I have to look absolutely amazing, some of them were horrible to me!'"
"I think women are just, for no reason, wretched to each other all the time, and I don't think they use clothes or men or perfume or make-up or anything more than they use anything else," said Gaga. "We should all make an effort to be nice to one another all the time."
But leave it to the outspoken pop star to get in the last word. Always one to speak her mind, the "Poker Face" songstress confronted the purpose behind her Body Revolution — which she launched in response to public critisicm over her recent weight gain — by admitting she "doesn't care" what people think.
"I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet – my mum called me and was like, "Did you gain weight?" – everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care," she said.
She even turns to another singer for a lesson in confidence — new mommy Adele.
"Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match," Gaga added. "She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people."
So she leaves it to her fans to spread her positive message.
"They carry the message so far. Ever since they saw how much Born This Way could affect people, they wanted to do more and have that sort of space of kindness and compassion."

They've got charisma. You can see it on their shoulders.
© and (P)1997, 1999 BBC Worldwide Ltd
"The greatest double act in the history of British television." (Independent)
I live in Vermont. My freelance work requires reading critical and expository prose, so I like fanciful escapist fare for fun.
"bit of fluff"
nice friendly vibe and tribute to old vaudeville style--they are audibly enjoying what they do; but the lame sketches and pop-passe musical numbers, though accompanied by a very polished big band, don't hold up well these days

guest stars are accomplished: Penelope Keith's script allows her to point out that it's beneath her, which is supposed to be comic but it's all too true

one drawback: the voices of the 2 principals are not very distinctive from one another, so it's sometimes hard to follow the story with audio only
already started a novel
clear; pleasant; underemployed
not if I had to pay money
nice if you want to kick back and be entertained without engaging much brain

ComNet 2001 will open its doors this week to reveal a bounty of new equipment, from carrier network gear that lets customers add and drop services on demand to enterprise VPN devices for simplifying support of small branch offices.
Unisphere is introducing software that lets service providers make Web portals designed for individual customers. Via these portals, each customer is presented with a list of services they are authorized to buy and activate over the Web. Unisphere's Service Selection Toolkit software enables providers to design their selection pages and customize them for individuals via directories that store customer profiles.
The offering also relies on directories that store profiles of the services the provider offers. Once tapped, these profiles let Unisphere's ERX Edge Routing Switches deployed in carrier networks deliver the specified services. For instance, a customer could call for access to a network-based application, and the service profile would instruct the ERX how to tap that application for the customer. The application could be hosted by another service provider that is linked to the customer's primary service provider.
Newcomer Corona Networks of Milpitas, Calif., will use the show to debut its first product, the ISP 12000, which is an IP service switch that sports features similar to those being rolled out by Unisphere. The ISP 12000 includes service-creation software that supports customers turning up their own services via a Web connection. The ISP 12000 manages and prioritizes traffic so customers can get service-quality guarantees from their IP service provider. Corona says a single ISP 12000 can support up to 1.5 million customers.
Also at the show, RapidStream will introduce its new firewall-VPN combo box, the RapidStream 8000, which the company says can support 20,000 VPN connections and 128,000 firewall sessions at the same time.
The box is for large corporations that need to terminate thousands of VPN tunnels between headquarters and smaller sites as well as individual users dialing in over the Internet. It is capable of supporting traffic from an OC-3 (155M bit/sec) connection to the Internet, eliminating the need for multiple firewalls to protect such high-speed links.
RapidStream is also introducing software that simplifies setting and updating VPN security policies. Rather than updating each VPN device, managers update a centrally located RapidStream 8000 or smaller RapidStream 6000 device. As other sites make VPN connections through this central device, it enforces the latest policies.
The RapidStream 8000 comes in two models, one for companies that costs $30,000, and one for service providers that costs $20,000. Both models will be available in March.
Separately, Filanet will introduce the second of its small-office multifunction appliances, the InterJak 200, which supports VPN links as well as a firewall and VPN tunnel server. Later this year, the company plans to offer software that can add more functions including content filtering, e-mail, WAN traffic monitoring and remote PC backup. The InterJakk 200 costs $645 for the base model, $795 if it supports symmetric DSL or asymmetric DSL, and $695 if it supports ISDN. The base model must connect to a separate WAN access device or router.
The idea behind the device is to enable customers to easily set up and manage a range of applications in a small office, and then oversee them remotely. Filanet hopes service providers will latch on to the device to support bundles of services for small businesses that cannot afford the IT staff to set up and run these services
Also at the show:
l Quick Eagle, formerly Digital Link, is introducing the 4200T IP Access Platform, an integrated access device for service providers to support managed services. The 4200T would sit at a customer site and connect to a service provider network via one or two T-1 lines. Software enables the box to support a variety of services such as voice and data integration, bonding of frame relay T-1 lines, service-level agreement verification and traditional fractional T-1 services.
l Larscom, known for making WAN access gear, will announce its entry into SONET networking with the introduction of the Larscom 4800 SONET add-drop multiplexer. The device can aggregate voice, video and data, and drop it onto optical fiber rings. Companies could use such devices to connect large data centers in the same metropolitan area. Service providers could use the devices to support high-speed MAN services. Prices start at $25,000.
This story, "Carrier gear, VPN offerings to star at show " was originally published by Network World.

Sole suspect in killing of family 'held in Morocco'
A Chinese businessman suspected by police of having killed a family of four in their home on the day of the Royal Wedding is believed to have been held in Morocco.
Anxiang Du, 53, is the main suspect in the murders of Jifeng Ding, 46, a chemistry lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, his wife Helen Chuii, 47, and their two daughters, Xing, 18, and Alice, 12, in Wooton, Northants.
Mr Du is known to have fallen out with the Ding family over their shared business interests, which included herbal remedy shops in the Midlands.
Shortly before the family were killed on April 29 last year, a civil court had ordered Mr Du to pay his business accomplices tens of thousands of pounds.

If a Washington state father had it his way — at least according to his own heat-of-the-moment Facebook rant — a gunman would unleash a torrent of bullets at his son's rival high school because their basketball team is the "worst in the league."
The New York Daily News is reporting that 39-year-old Jeff Berni posted his inflammatory, self-proclaimed "stupid" missive Tuesday evening after his son's Skyview High School narrowly beat Camas High School by a score of 44-42.
"Camas fans!!!!! Worst in the league!!!!! I hope someone shoots up their school real soon!!!!!!!!" wrote Mr. Berni, who has since been banned from the school's grounds but will not face charges.
According to Fox's local Oregon station, KPTV, the exclamation-mark laden post followed a verbal spat with a group of Camas students and was discovered by school officials after children and their parents pulled up the page on their smartphones…

The most important thing for somebody who doesn't want to change their overall look is to pick a doctor who's going to have natural results. So if you have a doctor who looks to preserve the structures like the ear and make them look natural when he's done, then you're going to have a more natural result. And these things are very artistic; the look of the '80s or '90s where people were very pulled is very old-fashioned now. So now we have bidirectional facelifts, where the deep layer gets pulled up, but the skin gets pulled gently back and we put everything together, so literally the next day after surgery, you can't see the incisions.
Will a Facelift Change My Overall Appearance?
Dr. Brent Moelleken understands that the number one worry of all potential facelift patients is that they will not look like themselves after the procedure. He explains how facelifts of today differ from facelifts of decades past.

Dom DeCicco was invited to Chicago Bears training camp last season after signing as an undrafted free agent. He played strong safety in college yet the Bears wanted him to play linebacker, a position DeCicco had never before played.
We spoke with him last week during veteran minicamp and he admitted that last offseason was a blur.
"Showing up to camp last year without really having any idea of what I was doing playing a new position was just a complete whirlwind," DeCicco said. "I was completely clueless out there."
Yet despite struggling to learn a new position, Bears coaches felt DeCicco had enough athleticism to be valuable on special team and made him a part of the 53-man roster. He stuck with the club throughout the year and finished the campaign second on the team in special teams tackles (17).
LB Dom DeCicco
Jonathan Daniel/Getty
This offseason, during Chicago's organized team activities (OTAs) and veteran minicamp, DeCicco looks like a new player on defense. Obviously, a full year under his belt, combined with a full offseason of practices, has done him wonders in his development as a linebacker.
"From last year, it's night and day," said DeCicco. "But I still have a ton to learn. I'm still making mistakes out there every day. But Brian [Urlacher] and Nick [Roach] and Lance [Briggs], they're nothing but help and they let me know when I do something wrong. I'm learning every day and getting more and more comfortable each day."
With Urlacher currently sidelined with a knee injury, DeCicco has been seeing considerable reps with the first team at middle linebacker. He said it took some time to become comfortable calling in plays to a huddle full of accomplished veterans.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't but I've gotten used to it. Last year, when I was walking in there, if Brian wasn't there and coach put me in, calling [plays to] Lance, Julius [Peppers], [Charles] Tillman, at first it is kind of [weird] but you get used to it. But the guys have been nothing but great so it's been easy."
Even though DeCicco is progressing rapidly as a linebacker, he still has a lot of room for improvement. If Urlacher ends up missing time this year, the club will rotate Roach inside and place Geno Hayes on the strong side. So in essence, DeCicco, despite working with the first team, is the club's third option at middle linebacker.
Yet he bulked up this offseason without losing any of the speed that made him an accomplished collegiate safety at the University of Pittsburgh. Physically, he has all the tools to be the team's long-term answer at MLB. If he continues to learn the position, the team might be able to rely on him at linebacker as early as next season.
For a former undrafted free agent, playing for an organization with a long history of All Pro linebackers, that's not too shabby.
"Every day, still up to this point, there's so much more I'm learning but I'm feeling more and more comfortable," DeCicco said.
At the very least, assuming he makes the team, DeCicco will be a valued member of the Bears' special teams in 2012. He currently has a role on all four of special teams coordinator Dave Toub's units.
"I'd like to just go out there and make sure I do everything right," said DeCicco. "I'm not really a big talker, I just want to show that I know what I'm doing and going out there on special teams and not making mistakes."
If he accomplishes that goal, and continues to grow into the linebacker position, he could be a household name in Chicago sooner rather than later.

This page lists a selection of major BDSM events for the upcoming year.
The definition of "major" is admittedly subjective. Preference is given here to multi-day and occasional high-attendance single-day events that in my judgment are potentially of interest to sophisticated players and newcomers alike and are intended to appeal to those who are not just local to where the event is scheduled. I retain the right to be arbitrary, and on occasion some local events will be listed.
There are hundreds of fine local events every month! To find these, check out your local resources. You can find many local listings at the URLs listed on the Groups page. Particularly active cities include: San Francisco; Seattle; Boston, Washington, D.C.; NYC; Atlanta; and Austin. Many other cities, like Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, etc., have wonderful BDSM groups with ongoing programs. Don't miss out just because you think you are somewhere remote. You will be surprised. : )

Dishing on the direction she intends to go for her next studio installment, Beyonce Knowles says she is working with 'a lot of live instruments.'
The follow-up to Grammy-winning album "I Am...Sasha Fierce" might become Beyonce Knowles' most ambitious effort yet. After successfully launching Sasha Fierce as her alter ego, now the "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" hitmaker attempts to create her own genre of music.
"I love to dance, I love to sing, and I'm actually in the studio now writing songs and producing, and I have a lot of live instruments that I'm putting into the tracks to try to change the sound and make my own genre of music," Beyonce told Entertainment Tonight on the set of her Vizio commercial.
Last September, one of the musicians involved in the studio project, Ne-Yo, has teased about Beyonce "definitely having her own agenda." He added that she is an artist who has a clear vision of what she wants to do, "She's going to give you directions [like] 'Here's where I'm going, so here's where I need you to be'."
The clue about how this might-be "new genre" of music will sound has also been hinted by Sean Garrett. "I think we are doing a lot of uptempo records for this one. She's in such a good place right now in life that she is interested in making party music, definitely," he once said.
Although details of the album are still scarce, Beyonce will, one thing for sure, ditch her alter ego Sasha Fierce in the not-yet-titled album. "Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her," she confessed. "I don't need Sasha Fierce anymore, because I've grown and now I'm able to merge the two."

Rick JamesBorn: 1948-02-01 - Died: 2004-08-06
Cause of Death: Heart Failure
Drugs found in his system included: Xanax, Valium, Cocaine, Heroin, Wellbutrin, Celexa, Vicodin, Marijuana, and MDMA.
Who was Rick James : Rick James was born James Abrose Johnson, Jr. His legacy in funk music is overshadowed perhaps only by his legacy in drug-use.
"Cocaine is hell of a drug," he famously says in an interview from Comedian Dave Chappelle's short-lived sketch comedy show Chappelle's Show.
This episode of Chappelle's show based on a true story about incidents occurring between James and actor Charlie Murphy, could actually be credited for making Rick James a household name again. Quote from the show like "I'm Rick James, Bitch" are often cited throughout popular culture.
Aside from his Chappelle's Show appearance/parody his biggest claim to fame was the song Superfreak which would later be sampled as the basis for the smash hit "U Cant Touch This" by MC Hammer.
James recorded for Motown records in the late seventies and early 80s and built himself a reputation as for lack of a better term, a druggie.

Demi Moore: Getting Loose with Lenny Kravitz
She's no stranger to odd behavior, and Demi Moore was at it again at the SoHo Beach House in Miami, Florida last night (December 5).
The "Charlie's Angels" chick showed up at the Chanel Beachside BBQ for Art.sy where she brazenly flirted up a storm with "Fly Away" singer Lenny Kravitz.
Not surprisingly, Kravitz looked less-than-impressed with Demi's dreadful antics and preferred to focus on pretty much anything else around him.
An eyewitness confirmed, "She was most ready to party than anyone else in the room!" Moore also hammed it up with Stacy Keibler, who looked desperate for her boyfriend George Clooney to come save her!
Enjoy the pictures of Demi Moore and Lenny Kravitz at the CHANEL beachfront BBQ (December 6).

Sri Lanka T20 captain resigns after losing final
By Rizwan Ali ,AP Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 12:00 am TWN
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka -- Mahela Jayawardene stepped down as Sri Lanka's Twenty20 captain after losing the World Twenty20 final against West Indies by 36 runs on Sunday.
"I think we need a young leader," Jayawardene said. "It's a great opportunity for somebody to start (captaining) in the T20 format."
Jayawardene said he had informed the selector about his decision before the tournament began last month and they were quite happy with the choice he had made.
However, Jayawardene said he would continue to lead the side in Test matches and one-day internationals until the tour of Australia later this year, and if the new Twenty20 captain wanted him to compete as a player in that format he would continue.
"I haven't stepped down from the other formats (Test matches and ODIs), obviously I took over until December ... I will assess what I want to do after that."
He led Sri Lanka in 19 Twenty20s, winning 12 and losing 6 with one tied match.
Sri Lanka was well placed to win a first major title in 16 years up until the 10th over as West Indies struggled at 32-2.
But Marlon Samuels smashed six sixes and three fours in his blistering knock of 78 off 56 balls to guide the West Indies to a competitive 137-6.
Jayawardene top scored with 33 in the unsuccessful run-chase to the much disappointment of 35,000 home fans at R Premadasa Stadium.
"It hurts a lot because you want to do something special, not just personally but for the public as well," Jayawardene said. "We've been playing some really good cricket, but unfortunately we haven't been able to cross that (final) hurdle."
Sri Lanka lost just one game in the tournament before Sunday's final — a rain-shortened seven-over-a-side group match against South Africa at Hambantota.
Jayawardene's team was trying to become the first host nation to win the tournament, and looked to be on their way to an elusive title as they defeated defending champion England in Super Eights, won one-over eliminator against New Zealand and had an easy nine-wicket win over the West Indies.
Even against a dangerous Pakistan, Sri Lanka's bowling attack looked far superior as they won the semifinal by 16 runs.
But when it really mattered, Jayawardene's reliable pace bowler Lasith Malinga came under the hammer of Samuels in the final.
Malinga gave away precious 54 runs off his four overs with Samuels hitting the sling-arm fast bowler for five towering sixes.
"We did not bowl particularly well in that last six, seven overs," Jayawardene said. "We never looked having any momentum chasing down that run rate as well, credit to them, they played good cricket in the big final which we did not."
Since that famous victory in the 1996 World Cup final, Sri Lanka just once shared the Champions Trophy with India in 2002. They came close to winning the 50-over World Cup, but twice they stumbled in the final — in 2007 and in 2011.
Pakistan also made sure a major trophy eluded Jayawardene when it beat Sri Lanka in the 2009 World Twenty20 final at Lord's.

Yes, it's Monday, and it's time for another book feature. Usually I get to these hot on the heels of having read them, however this one's been sitting around for a month since I finished reading it and posted my review. The reasons for this will be dealt with later, but I first want to talk about the book. Gary Vaynerchuk's Crush It! (subtitled "Why Now Is The Time To Cash In On Your Passion") has been, of all the "personal branding" and "social media" books that I've read, the one that has most "spoken to me".
Unlike many of the books that I've discussed here, this isn't a dystopian projection of a "job-less" future, nor some white paper on becoming a 20-something Übermensch, or a philosophical treatise on our culture, but a look at how one guy was able to take the hand that he was dealt, and the tools of Social Media, and create something massive out of it.
The tone of Crush It! is very conversational, and this appears to be due to Vaynerchuk's preference of speech to text. One of the reasons he's been so successful is that he's able to fire up a video cam and just go, not needing scripting, not doing "takes", just riffing on a subject. Using this, he's built up a huge audience, many of whom have become customers of his wine business.
Vaynerchuk discusses a lot more of the "why" of doing Social Media than most of the other books, but he also provides a fairly systematic walk-through of the how, without being particularly doctrinal about the details (he discusses finding one's voice, be that in text, audio, or video). If one wanted a great "first exposure" to Social Media, Crush It! would be my current recommendation. As many of the books covered here have indicated, the future of employment is likely to be about personal brands and selling one's services as a contractor, and this book at least makes that sound fun! More details, of course, over in my review. So, on to the interview (behind the cut) ...
Or not.
I have spent a month trying to get my 8 little questions answered, to no avail. I initially e-mailed Gary, which was intercepted by "his people" who had assured me that "by the end of the week" they'd have something back to me. But weeks went by (you may recall my excusing not having a review up a few weeks in a row ... well, that was from my "holding space" for this) and they stopped responding to my e-mails. I was kvetching about this on Twitter one day and Gary noticed his @ being discussed and we had an interesting exchange in which he claimed that he couldn't possibly write that much text (16-24 sentences?), although in our back-and-forth he very likely had generated as many characters as he would have had to in answering my questions! He left it that he might be able to spare me "5 minutes on the phone in 2-3 weeks". As a final level of frustration, even my attempts to contact his publisher for this went unanswered ... leading me to give up on having an interview, and replacing it with what you're currently reading!
This brings me to the title of this post, and a bit of a shift away from the job search and into some philosophical meanderings through the realities of fame, notoriety, and community. The "two gurus" of the title are Vaynerchuk and Chris Brogan (whose Trust Agents was featured in this space a couple of weeks back). Both of these gentlemen are huge in the Social Media sphere, and have built very successful businesses via these efforts. Vaynerchuk took his parents' moderately successful $4,000,000/yr liquor business into a $60,000,000/yr monster, largely via his off-the-cuff videos about various wines. Brogan recently revealed what he charges companies to tap his expertise, which runs as much as $22,000/day. Why wouldn't either of these guys see somebody like me trying to get an e-mail interview as anything other than an insect to be flicked aside?
However, Chris Brogan very graciously made the time, jotting down his answers to my questions while on a plane between high-powered meetings, and shooting it right back to me when he got back on the ground. Vaynerchuk ... well, that's why I'm writing this. Both of these "Gurus" encourage folks to get in touch with them, but there are only so many minutes in a week, and they both have long since passed the threshold of being able to realistically interact with everybody who wants a piece of their time. Within the world of Social Media, much like with TV, it's easy to delude oneself that one knows the "famous" folks, while the reality is often that you are no where near "on their radar". Brogan wrestles with this in his book, as his advocacy of "building trust" involves a level of transparency that must be quite difficult to maintain. It is very much to his credit that he makes the efforts that he does to forge relationships with other users of Twitter, etc.
In Vaynerchuk's defense, there may be a question of "scale" coming into play. Chris Brogan's @chrisbrogan Twitter account has 126,855 "followers" while Gary Vaynerchuk's @garyvee has 848,254 ... more than six times as many. Would Brogan have been able to block out the minutes it took to respond to me if 6-7 times the number of things were tugging at his schedule's sleeves? If these numbers seem vague, let me put some others out there to sort of "frame" them ... popular Chicago (and TV) chef Rick Bayless, a very active Twitterer, has only 35,332 "followers" of his @Rick_Bayless account, while the Twitter account for Chelsea Handler's "Chelsea Lately" show, @chelsealately has a whopping 2,026,609 (and my own @BTRIPP limps in with a mere 573).
The core take-away from all this is to reiterate that, as much as I advocate (and use) Twitter and other Social Media platforms in the job search, it's about building relationships and not just about volume ... unless people know you, there's very little incentive for them to be useful to you (unless they take Brogan's "be useful" credo to heart). Coming at people "cold" is likely to be perceived as either fawning or spam, and neither of those contexts is likely to produce the results for which you're hoping!

According to officials at America's Internal Revenue Service, the supermodel owes the state $63,000 in back payments.
Beleaguered British supermodel Naomi Campbell is facing a hefty tax bill in the U.S. over allegations she owes more that $63,000 in back payments.
Officials at America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed a lien for allegedly unpaid income taxes on July 28, just days before the embattled beauty took the stand to testify at a war crimes trial in The Hague, Netherlands.
The lien, filed in New York City, is for $63,487 in delinquent federal taxes dating back to 2009, according to the Detroit News.
Campbell has been in the spotlight in recent weeks after she was called to testify at the trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor on August 5 over allegations she accepted a 'blood diamond' from him after a dinner party in South Africa in 1997.

Plastered in last-to-first Derby win
Page Tools
They're off and racing at the start of the Victoria Derby.
Photo: Joe Armao
West Australian raider Plastered ruined the Savabeel dream with an outstanding staying performance in today's Victoria Derby at Flemington that had his trainer Lindsey Smith revealing dreams of his own.
Rival trainer Graeme Rogerson tried to buy Plastered earlier this week, saying he believed the Perth gelding was the biggest threat to Cox Plate winner Savabeel and his judgment was spot-on.
The Derby lived up to expectations with Plastered and Savabeel sent out joint $3.30 favourites and the latter took the lead at the 300m and looked as if he was going to run away to the line.
But under hard riding from Paul Harvey, Plastered knuckled down to the task and wore away at Savabeel who was gallant as he went down by 1-1/4 lengths, finding enough reserves to edge Count Ricardo out of second by a nose.
"This is the biggest win of my career by far and I've already booked my ticket back for the Cup next year," Smith said.
"He was trained to get the 2500 metres and the last 300 metres was a dour test which he came through.
"This is a terrific day for Western Australia. As far as I know, no WA horse has won the Derby and this will be great for everyone especially since the retirement of the big horse."
The big horse is of course Northerly who Smith and Harvey showed little respect for in the 2002 Australian Cup when Old Comrade beat the champ.
Asked if Plastered was the next Northerly, Smith kept things in proportion.
"He's about $8 million away," he said.
Smith and Rogerson both ruled out starting their three-year-olds in Tuesday's Melbourne Cup.
Smith will take Plastered back home to get ready for the WA Derby while Rogerson will give Savabeel a break and look ahead to the autumn.
"The winner ran the 2500 metres and got the prize," Rogerson said.
"There are no excuses, the winner is a very, very good horse and I think Savabeel might have done enough for now."
Chris Munce agreed, saying Savabeel was fired up behind the gates and didn't race as tractably as he'd hoped.
"He was stirred up which isn't like him and I had to take the runs where they came and couldn't hold him up," he said.
Winning jockey Harvey said he was always in control as Lions Gate took off early and strode to a big lead.
"I knew they had to come back to us," he said.
"I don't know what time they ran but they went pretty quick.
"I thought Plastered was a bit dour today and I expected him to take us into the race a bit more.
"He was that relaxed he got into a zone and I had to snap him out of it.
"He thought he was out for a holiday."
For Harvey the result was a double celebration as his wife Janelle is one of the owners of Plastered who was bought for $35,000.
He was scheduled to go through a ready-to-run sale but Harvey, who had been riding him work, advised Smith to make an offer before the auction and it was successful.
He has now won seven of his eight starts and more than $1 million in prizemoney.
The $135,000 cheque for third capped off a magic week for Count Ricardo's young trainer Stephen Theodore who bought him for $800 and sold a 15 per cent share to former VRC chairman Andrew Ramsden for an undisclosed sum after the gelding's third in last week's AAMI Vase.
"It's been a super week and apart from winning, this is a great result," Theodore said.
"I've been thrust into the limelight and had a lot of phone calls.
"This has really been a huge boost to my career and hopefully I will get some quality horses in the stable, maybe a few Danehills."

It gets down to choose a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

People that employ a great property as well as a decent revenue aren't usually determined within the no cost web sites. If they cannot find the money for in order to enroll in a niche site then you should speculate why and if the following man or women is good for [url=http://coachfactoryoutlet2w.webs.com/]coach factory online[/url] you. I know that I have spoken to people who tell me they cannot afford to pay to join a website for dating and they then go on to tell me they have no job, they cannot afford a phone, they cannot afford to [url=http://coachfactoryoutlet2w.webs.com/]http://coachfactoryoutlet2w.webs.com/[/url] take someone out, they go to a charity shop to buy their clothes and so on. This is fine if this is your lifestyle to but for people who have a better lifestyle there is no need to get involved.A word of warning for females only. Women should beware of the men who want to rush them into meeting very quickly, they will get lots of such offers, usually from people who have a lot to hide or who are not fussy about who they spend time with. The chances are that the guy who is in a huge rush to meet you was saying the same thing to another woman an hour ago and a different one this morning. Either they are extremely [url=http://cheapcoachfactorybackpacks2i.webs.com/]coach outlet online factory[/url] lonely and longing for some company - in which case wonder why - or they are simply not bothered about what you are like or your personality or how compatible you are, which makes the either very stupid, married, only seeking a quick fling or desperate.
You need to ensure you have got verbal in order to all of them to get a long time before you connect with and not simply online but within the cellphone as well. Be skeptical associated with any kind of dude exactly who says she has possibly not received a usual [url=http://cheapcoachfactorybackpacks2i.webs.com/]http://cheapcoachfactorybackpacks2i.webs.com/[/url] land line phone at home or is never able to take your calls straight away evenings or weekends. Likewise be suspicious if he is usually unable to meet up then and wants to meet you for just an hour or so during the day.Profiles should be honest. They have a right to know that you are divorced but they do not have a right to immediately know why and how long for. You are competing with thousands of people on the same site [url=http://bagsoutletsonlines.com/]http://bagsoutletsonlines.com/[/url] so you have to shine out over and above the others. Do not tell lies in order to make yourself sound more successful or exciting. Pretending to be much younger or saying you own a successful business when you do not will only backfire later and watch out for the others online that do that.

You'll find countless web sites that provide online dating services, nearly everyone is custom built to go well with specific demands, including relationship for your about 40s, relationship to get lesbians, relationship to get huge [url=http://coachfactoryhandbagoutlet2u.webs.com/]outlet coach factory[/url] people, dating for nudists, which makes it easier and easier to make sure that you join the sites that suit your needs rather than wasting money and time on ones that do not. Some sites are totally free [url=http://coachfactoryhandbagoutlet2u.webs.com/]http://coachfactoryhandbagoutlet2u.webs.com/[/url] to join but then charge you if you send or receive messages, others are completely free to join and use and you can send and receive messages without ever spending any money. Word of warning - keep your feet on the ground, some of these tailor made sites are pandering to people who fantasise, such as the ones that offer women the chance to date a good looking, young, millionaire. Millionaires do join such sites but you will find [url=http://www.aicon.com/coachfactory.html]coach factory[/url] that most of the members on such sites are the needy poor women wanting to meet them. The sites that are specifically for people wanting casual sex and for married people wanting secret liaisons are usually frequented by men and they tend to become very disappointed when they find out that most of the other members are men like themselves.
Indeed you need to do find unusual folks upon such web sites but people reside and breath inside real-world as well and you have got fulfilled all of them simply just about the place after you visited a pub. Unusual [url=http://www.aicon.com/coachfactory.html]http://www.aicon.com/coachfactory.html[/url] people are not exclusive to online dating.Do not let the cost of a paid for site worry you. They are a good investment. For the price of a few drinks you could end up with a fantastic partner. A lot of the paid for sites are very good and do not cost much. Another word of warning - beware of the totally free sites. They seem like a bargain, but you often get riff raff on them and because those sites are free the people do not take it so seriously. A [url=http://coachfactorystore3w.webs.com/]cheap coach factory backpacks[/url] lot of them sign up and do not even bother to go back and check their messages.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi & thanks for using our service. I'll do my best to give you a complete & accurate answer. Please ask me to clarify anything you don't understand.
This is a well know Scam. That's the botXXXXX XXXXXne;
The money that you invested, less whatever you received back, may be claimed as a Theft loss on Schedule A.
If you can substantiate the fact that you made this as an investment, then claim the loss as a short or long-term capital loss. Consider yourself lucky that you only invested $2,000.
As far as any 1099 you may have received on "phantom" income, the number should be included in the appropriate place on your income tax returns and then subtracted on the next line & described as a "Fraudulent 1099 in connection with Scam".
That's how I would advise anyone with this set of facts and advise them that any further investigation by them is just a waste of time & money.
Please remember to click on the green "ACCEPT", or the "smiley face" as appropriate; that is the only way we get credit for our work, even if you are on a subscription plan. Feedback, if you have time and bonuses, where you think they are warranted, are always most appreciated. Before or after you ACCEPT, I will be happy to answer any additional follow-up questions you may have. Thanks again for using our service. If you'd like to contact me again, in the future, just ask for "Steve G" at the beginning of your question.
ok i will await your answer. the biggest thing you can see is this question as to the bids being use as a 100% tax write off.
great have you read my post about the whole controversy on zeek rewards
are you there?
im here
Did you receive my previous answer to this question, posted last night?
I'll repeat it then. There are so many versions of this question posted, that I'm not sure what you are looking for at this point. I believe that this is a well know Ponzi-type scam, designed to draw in additional "victims"; As far as what you can do tax wise, whatever cash you have "invested" in zeek, less whatever you have received back, if anything, can be claimed as a theft loss as an itemized deduction.
If you can substantiate the fact that you have made this payment as an "investment", then you should claim it as a short term or long term capital loss.
here is my simple version each day i earn cash that they have me reinvest in 100% more bids that go out to people on the internet to use and to bid on items in their penny acutions whihc are go on around the clock.
In any event, given the amount of money involved, I'm not sure that it matters what you do with it; there's not enough money involved to cause much of an issue either way.
then what they do is in addition they add vip points to my account on which they compound the interest every day my quesiton is if they were just dedcting cash it wuold be a cost of doing business however since they recredit my account each day with the same amount in points my balance keeps going up so i make more and more cash each day to buy more and more bids. it is possible to get cash out and many have. i just do not see how it is from a tax point of view possible to write it off and then get points back it seems the value of the bids for irs is 0 as it is a wash
I understand what's involved. It seems like it will turn into a giant waste of time & effort.
my brother in law invested 4000 in oct. and now has 50000 points a bigger sum it is adding up so fast also he got a 1099 last year for the addition in points even though he did not get any money out.
You have no tax basis in these additional bids or points, so there's nothing to "write off".
for the past several weeks he has been getting weekly checks of 2000 + a week and i am thinking if there is any chance this is real i was going to put another 10000 in or so but the bids thing threw me as to how they could be written off and if they couldnt then you are in a position where you are getting a 1099 on the accumulation of the points if you take no money out.
they require us to give the bids away. so if i have 2000 invested which i do at 2% a day that is 40.00 that goes into a cash account which i do have the option of taking the cash out in cash or reinvesting in new bids so that part makes sense however they add points of 40 a day and then keep compounding and each day i can reinvest or i can take the cash
I also commented on the 1099 issue last evening; If you receive a 1099 without any "real" payment, I would include it in income and then back it out (subtract it) on the next line indicating that it was issued in connection with the "Zeek Rewards Scam".
as the points accumulate zeek is sending a 1099 on teh accumulation of the points even if you take no money out
do you think the irs would actually allow that knowing how they operate. the company says you can deduct the cost of the cash you used to buy bids against your income and you are saying that you can not
i know there is no way anything can compound at 2% a day however it seems very tempting as peopel like my brother in law are getting real money. he invested 4000 and has gotten back over 24000 already and his acount keeps getting larger and larger as the daily compounding continues
I would like to see the checks that exceed what he put into this "deal". I'm sure the 1099 is a 1099-NEC classification so all this would also be subject to self-employment tax.
in 2011 his 1099 was based on his accumulation of points and not on actual checks paid to him. he has only started to take real cash out in the last 2 months and has been doing it. several otehrs got 1099's also with no checks for 2011
You use the case if you either invested it yourself or paid taxes on it. That would establish a tax basis it the income.
there is no issue with the checks that he is recieving as to be taxable however in addition to the cash he is phusically getting he will as far as i can see also get a 1099 on these points that keep going up on which his dailly cash is going up as the 2% compounding is now being calculated on more that 50,000 so that is 2% a day and then the incrtease in points is calculated tomorrow on the increase in points in his account so fort and so on
so is the accumulation of these points a taxable event as they are saying as the points somehow turn into cash and the bids which are purchased have no value to write off since the points are also added?
I don't know what else to tell you except the way it is going your brother-in-law should be a billionaire before he knows it.
i know so you say my real point is that you think it is a ponzi scheme and there is no way i can dedcut the cost of the bids that i buy
that is the most important point
if the bids can not be written off it is really a scam as the company has the cash and is not paying it unless you request it
Here's the way I see it:
If this is a "business activity", then
Whatever cash you "invest", plus whatever income you pay tax on via a 1099 & leave on deposit would be your expense and whatever actual cash you receive would be your revenue.
so the bids can be writeen off is that what you are saying since it is what they say the job is. if you can do that it means that the 1099 you get is offset other than real cash you get by teh cost of the bids you are buying each day thi sis why this is so confusin
that is the main question i am concerned taht the bids can not be written off as you get the points back
in your opinion can the bids be written off or not that is the essence of what i need to know
Honestly, I can't express it any better than I have; I am not going to comment on your interpretation of how I expressed that you could account for this tax wise.
i am sorry to be so lame just this then do you think i can write off the bids or not
Whatever cash you "invest", plus whatever income you pay tax on via a 1099 & leave on deposit would be your expense and whatever actual cash you receive would be your revenue.
that is really at the end of the day all i am trying to find out u have been extremly thoruough and helpful

He fits in well with the Knicks system. If ever he plays for Chinese-Taipei if think Philippines can handle him. but if he chooses to play for China then that would be a problem..I hope the coach that would replace Toroman in the national team would be the same quality as him or even better. Coach Toroman really upgraded the level of play of our national team. It is clearly seen on how the Rookies from Gilas play in the PBA.

Wife swapping india is a kinky trend that is growing very fast these days among desi couples. Many desi couple say' s that swapping is imported from Western society.Our Kamasutra books are full of images where multiple desi couples are indulge in sexual activities. The same impression is left in Khujraho sex temples where we can see lots of group sex activities between indian couples. In ladhak, from the last many centuries wife Swapping is very common in Dardtribes. This kinky trend is imported from West or e xported to West will be always a topic of debate. According a recent global Web survey,majority of indian swingers and pakistani swingers who are indulged in swapping in india says that it helps them to maintain their relationship with their spouse. After swapping, their Sexual life is entirely changed. It' s normal human behavior that we can not hold on to one thing for long,and we need a "Change". This "change" is the main catalyst for swinging. In countries like US, many indian couples openly accept their interest in wife sharing. In US the common age group that is indulged in wife sharing is 35 to late 50s. In almost every state in US, you can find week end swingers parties where you can see a few indian swingers also. Mainly there are two types of parties,on premises and swinger club events. In swingers clubs you have to pay a high price to enter and entry is only for desi couples and females. On premises parties are organized by group of desi couples or singles who usually meet through adult dating website. Few years back,In India,swinging was luxury of high class indian couples only.It was isolated to metropolitan cites. Unlike in US there are no swinger clubs in India. Usually, parties are organized by some middle man in a high class hotel with a high price.Now days wife swapping india is no more an expensive or high class game. In the Web world, this trend is growing very fast in almost every town. Indian couples usually meet through indian adult dating website. In countries like UK and US we can see number of pakistani swingers are also growing very fast.In UK, pakistani population is high in number and swinging trend is on the rise.

1999 Mercedes-Benz CL600 (1 Review)
I bought this, my dream car (realistic one at age 22), in absolutely perfect condition. It is black on black/grey two tone with burl walnut interior veneer. This vehicle is the epitomy of luxury....WITH BALLS!!!! This thing is no joke...I take friends for rides down the highway and they are literally looking for the safety parachute!! lol Seriously though, MINUS the BS problems, this machine screams HIGH Class! The interior...forget about it...it is unreal...there is NO plastic on the interior with the exception of the vents and switches. I do however deal with small/large ANNOYING problems, for example, when it started to get cold up here in upstate NY l somehow slowly lost heat on one side of the car, then completely throughout the whole vehicle!? WTF?? I feel like there is some sort of bubble or air pocket in my cooling system, and my local guy can't seem to figure it out. Can someone who knows A LOT about these W140 body style Mercedes get back to me?!?!
