Rhabdomyosarcoma is a cancer that occurs in muscle cells and tends to occur in children 1-5 years old. There are 3 main types:
- Embryonal—often occurs in the head, neck, or genital or urinary organs
- Alveolar—often occurs in the arms, legs, chest, abdomen, or genital or anal areas
- Anaplastic—rarely occurs in children
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these cells form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. Cancer cells also invade and destroy nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. It is not known what causes these changes in the cells. It is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
|Cancer Growth
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Certain inherited diseases may increase the chance of rhabdomyosarcoma, such as:
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome
- Neurofibromatosis
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
- Costello syndrome
- Noonan syndrome
Babies may have an increased risk for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma if the baby:
- Has high birth weight
- Is larger than expected
In the early stages, the cancer is small and does not cause symptoms. As it grows, the tumor may create a lump or swelling. The tumor may then start to push on nearby normal structures and cause symptoms. Symptoms will vary, depending on where the tumor is and what it is affecting. For example, tumors found in the:
- Head may cause blockage or discharge of the nose or sinus, facial paralysis, or a hoarse voice
- Eye may make the eyes stick out or appear larger and affect eye sight
- Lung may cause coughing and breathlessness
- Bladder or bowel may cause abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, or trouble urinating
- Uterus may cause bleeding or discharge from the vagina and pain in the pelvis or lower abdomen
General symptoms may also include fatigue, feeling generally ill, and weight loss.
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
An x-ray may be done to create an image of the tumor and surrounding tissue.
A biopsy will be done to confirm the diagnosis. A small sample of the tumor will be removed and examined for the presence of cancer.
Further surgery may be done to determine the stage of cancer. Stage is determined by the size of the cancer, if it has spread and how far it has spread. Staging will help your doctor plan treatment.
Treatments may include:
Surgery may be done to remove the tumor and nearby tissue. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It may be used as treatment on its own or in combination with other treatments.
Radiation therapy may be given before surgery to shrink the tumor before removing it or used after surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Radiation therapy options include:
- External—radiation directed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal (brachytherapy)—radioactive materials placed into the body near the cancer cells
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be given in many forms, including: pill, injection, or by catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells. Chemotherapy is generally reserved for only certain times, such as when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. It is designed to slow the pace of the disease, but is not considered a cure.
There are no current guidelines to prevent rhabdomyosarcoma because the cause is unknown.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a determination of the question of fact as to who are the heirs of any deceased citizen allottee of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians who may die or may have heretofore died, leaving restricted heirs, by the probate court of the State of Oklahoma having jurisdiction to settle the estate of said deceased, conducted in the manner provided by the laws of said State for the determination of heirship in closing up the estates of deceased persons, shall be conclusive of said question: Provided, That an appeal may be taken in the manner and to the court provided by law, in cases of appeal in probate matters generally: Provided further, That where the time limited by the laws of said State for the institution of administration proceedings has elapsed without their institution, as well as in cases where there exists no lawful ground for the institution of administration proceedings in said courts, a petition may be filed therein having for its object a determination of such heirship and the case shall proceed in all respects as if administration proceedings upon other proper grounds had been regularly begun, but this proviso shall not be construed to reopen the question of the determination of an heirship already ascertained by competent legal authority under existing laws: Provided further, That said petition shall be verified, and in all cases arising hereunder service by publication may be had on all unknown heirs, the service to be in accordance with the method of serving nonresident defendants in civil suits in the district courts of said State; and if any person so served by publication does not appear and move to be heard within six months from the date of the final order, he shall be concluded equally with parties personally served or voluntarily appearing.
That the lands of full-blood members of any of the Five Civilized Tribes are hereby made subject to the laws of the State of Oklahoma, providing for the partition of real estate. Any land allotted in such proceedings to a full-blood Indian, or conveyed to him upon his election to take the same at the appraisement, shall remain subject to all restrictions upon alienation and taxation obtaining prior to such partition. In case of a sale under any decree, or partition, the conveyance thereunder shall operate to relieve the land described of all restrictions of every character.1
Approved, June 14, 1918.

HOUMA -- Former Terrebonne Parish district attorney Doug Greenburg was sent from court to a jail cell today to serve a 24-hour sentence for a fight he had with another lawyer in a Houma courtroom May 26.
Judge Randy Bethancourt lectured Greenburg, 59, and Anthony Lewis, 60, the lawyer with whom he argued and fought, for about 15 minutes at a hearing this morning.
"Your actions are indefensible. You are both seasoned, veteran lawyers. If it sounds like I�m scolding you, it�s because I am," Bethancourt said.
Lewis, an assistant Lafourche district attorney who also was found in contempt of court for the scuffle that briefly sent him to the hospital, received a 12-hour jail sentence that is being suspended on the condition that he perform eight hours of community service in either Terrebonne or Lafourche parish and pay a $50 fine.
Greenburg also must pay a $100 fine as part of his contempt-of-court sentence.
The two lawyers, who said they have a longstanding dislike for each other, engaged in a shouting match that resulted Greenburg grabbing Lewis� coat and Lewis falling to the floor during a hearing about court costs and attorney�s fees from a civil case. Lewis was allegedly knocked unconscious briefly by the fall and was taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center. Greenburg was charged with misdemeanor simple battery and faces a July 25 court date.
Bethancourt gave Greenburg the maximum sentence available for a first-time contempt charge.
"When teaching our children about the court system, we tell them several things, one of which is that a courtroom is a place where citizens can go to have their differences peacefully resolved," Bethancourt told Greenburg and Lewis today. "What do you tell your children about your conduct?"
Greenburg requested credit for time served for his May 26 arrest on the battery charge, but Bethancourt denied the request.
Greenburg and Lewis had squared off in civil court in a case between family member over money arising from an inheritance. Greenburg�s client won the case, and the May 26 hearing regarded a request by Greenburg�s client to have Lewis� client pay court costs and Greenburg�s attorney�s fees.
A transcript of the hearing included several admonishments by Bethancourt to the pair to address their comments to the court and not each other. At one point, Greenburg referred to Lewis as a "jackass," and the hearing quickly degenerated into the scuffle.
During today�s hearing, Bethancourt ruled that Lewis� client must pay the court costs, but he denied the request that Lewis� client pay Greenburg�s attorney�s fees.

"There must be chaos in one's heart to be able to give birth to a dancing star."
--F. Nietzsche
Great developments in science and the arts-in fact all creative work-often occur at a tense juncture between the poles of order and chaos. This program will investigate how artists and scientists have creatively tried to make sense of their world and the major innovations that have occurred in the process.
In the Arts: By examining Greek and Elizabethan tragedy/comedy, opera, non-western theatre forms, and other great traditions in music, dance, film and visual art, we will explore how highly ordered classical forms and conventions emerged and how they have evolved through adaptation, subversion, and technology into new forms.
In Science: By examining the development of classical Greek astronomy through the Copernican Revolution, we will learn how the scientific method includes initially disordered data, highly ordered theories based on that data, new observations that supercede the original data, a collapse of order, and repeat of the process.
Fall will concentrate on the period up to Shakespeare and Copernicus. Winter will continue through the 19th century with focus on Newton, Darwin, Wagner, Chekhov and the advent of the moving image. Spring will cover developments to the present including modern physics, Brecht, and other developments in contemporary art.
Credits: 8 per quarter
Enrollment: 48

Before taking up the works themselves, let us consider the form of which it is the soul, the principle of programme music.
A product of the romantic school is called "programme music."
Besides, we have the story in our minds as with programme music.
He thus became one of the most ardent and enlightened originators of what is now known as "programme music."
Two familiar forms of programme music have grown out of the attempts of the romanticists.
In reality, "programme music," in some form or other, has existed for many generations.
But then this question of the fallibility of programme music is an eternal one.
The programme music of Berlioz was simply larger and more flamboyant than the little exercises of Bach in the same direction.
The starting-point of his momentous voyages was the idea of what is called "programme music."
The futurists wanted, so to speak, programme music, the cubists pure music without any taint of worldly and literary associations.

The Yanks beat up the Indians today to the tune of 11-6 [2], upsetting Cleveland's home opener. There was lots of fun to be had for the visitors–Travis Hafner's 4-RBI, Robbie Cano's two solo homers, Vernon Wells had three more hits. Hiroki Kuroda gave up three in the first and then calmed himself.
Course I missed the whole damn thing. But was thrilled and delighted upon seeing what went downski.

By some estimates, America's railroad companies are in the midst of the largest investment boom since the Gilded Age – when America's railroad track mileage tripled between 1860 and 1880.
This year, North American's freight railroads plan to invest $24.5 billion in intermodal terminals, new track, bridges and tunnels, safety equipment and rail cars, according to the Association of American Railroads.
Norfolk, Va.-based Norfolk Southern Corp. expects to continue increasing operations this year at its new Memphis Regional Intermodal Terminal in Rossville, just east of Collierville.
With Norfolk Southern Corp.'s Memphis Regional Intermodal Terminal now operational in Rossville and a pair of large-scale industrial manufacturing buildings under way in the area, stakeholders say the future is bright for the region.

Two elderly people in Sutton have fallen victim to scams in just two days.
£2,900 was stolen from a 78-year-old woman in Wallington, after she was duped into giving out her bank details.
The woman, who lives in Hurricane Road, is the latest victim of a bank courier scam.
She received a call on Thursday, July 31, from someone pretending to be from Natwest bank.
The caller stated her bank cards had been used in a fraud, and she would need to be issued with a new PIN and cards.
After she revealed the number and her bank details to the caller, her cards were collected by a courier.
She is now being financially supported by her family.
A 79-year-old woman had £45 stolen along with her a purse after letting a stranger into her house.
The man was hanging outside her house in Cheam Common Road, Worcester Park on Wednesday, July 30.
The woman asked him if he was there about her trees and the thief said he was.
The man then made off with the woman's purse after she invited him into her house.
If you have any information on either of these incidents call Sutton Police on 101.

2010 Lexus IS250C Review
In all ways, the Lexus IS250C is easy to live with
I've never driven a convertible I didn't like. That's not to say that all convertibles are excellent cars, but somehow, the enjoyment of driving in an open air car seems to minimize any shortcomings they may have.
|1. The IS250C is powered by a 2.5L V6 with 204-hp and 185 ft-lbs of torque. A 6-speed automatic is optional with a 5-speed manual standard.
2. Both IS250 and 350 convertibles feature a retractable hard-top.
3. Based on the same platform as the sedan, the only body panel shared is the hood.
4. Unique features include auto flip-down rear-seat headrests, a slide/fold button for access to the rear seats and a climate control system that adjusts to the temperature and speed when the top is down.
One of the newest entries into the drop top community is the Lexus IS250 Convertible. It is based on the popular rear wheel drive IS sedans, using the same base engine, but except for the hood, they share no body panels. It has a few shortcomings, but in the overall pleasure to drive category, the IS Convertible delivers.
The exterior is attractive if not groundbreaking. The high belt line does, however, make it more uncomfortable for those who like to drive with their left arm resting on top of the door.
Most hard top roadsters, like the BMW Z4 and Mazda Miata, mar the shape of their cars with a bulbous looking roofline to accommodate the hard roof panels and just ruin the styling of the car when the top is in place. But the three-piece aluminum hardtop on the IS is able to maintain a sleek line from the steeply raked windshield, on back to the trunk lid.
One of the typical up-sides to a metal folding roof is a larger rear window for better vision out the back. Unfortunately, with this Lexus, the rear window is unusually small and provides a poor view rearward when the top is closed. Lexus boasts that the top can be lowered or raised in a mere 20 seconds, so I guess it must be the fasted top in the west next time Speed Channel holds it's annual convertible top races.
Even though the styling of the IS Convertible isn't adversely affected by the hard top, the trunk space surely is. There's room enough when the top is up, but when it's down, the trunk is transformed into a second glove box. If you're planning a weekend getaway for two, and intend to drop the top, be prepared to use the rear seat area for your luggage. The use of a soft-top would not only have left plenty more room, but would also limit the weight gain and they generally cost less.
The IS is powered by a direct fuel injected 2.5 liter V6, and the motor puts out 204-hp and 185 ft-lbs of torque. A 306-hp, 3.5-liter engine is available for those requiring hotter performance. My test car was the base engine, and I found it to have more than enough pep to make driving the little Lexus enjoyable. The power is smooth, comes on strong up to the 6500-rpm redline, and is rather quiet, as befitting a luxury car. Zero to 60 times are in the mid-8 seconds range. For a car weighing just over 3,800lbs, that's not bad. And the gas mileage is a very respectable 21-mpg city, 29-mpg highway. The IS is not meant to be a sportscar, but rather a luxury sporty car, and it fills that bill quite nicely.
The 6-Speed manumatic transmission with paddle shifters operates smoothly and the manual shifts are about average for reaction time. The 4-wheel disc brakes are ABS and EBD equipped, and they work well, with decent pedal feel. The all season 225/45/17 tires provide a good compromise of grip, quiet ride, and durability.
The sophisticated independent suspension is Japanese tuned for a comfortable ride on the highway and on pock marked city streets, and will still provide fairly sharp cornering when pushed. The bias is more towards comfort than you'll find on a BMW 3-series, but the Lexus never wallows or feels sloppy. The steering has a heavier effort than I expected, but offers quick response to inputs and is quite satisfying overall. Again, not a sports car, but a very enjoyably sporting ride.
One thing that troubles every convertible that was ever made, except the new Bentley Continental GTC, is cowl shake. No matter how much extra bracing they build in, the chassis exhibits some amount of flex when the top is in the trunk. The IS cowl shake falls in the middle of the pack – better then most, not as good as others. It's a bit better than the 3-series, not as good as the Audi A5. But again, the benefit of the open air driving experience far outweighs the drawback. With the top up, however, the Lexus feels solid as a bank vault.
The cabin is nicely appointed and up to its mission of being a luxury car. With the top up, it's very quiet on all types of roads, and with the top down, there is a nice quiet, fairly turbulence-free zone for the driver and front seat passenger. And if one rolls up the windows, long hours on the highway are not taxing to your hearing or your partner's hairdo.
The leather seats are soft and comfortable and feel both wider and friendlier than those in the 3-Series Bimmer. The lines of the dash and door panels are simple and elegant with center stack controls that are easy to see and operate. Everything is nicely laid out in front of the driver, and well lit at night.
The rear seat accommodations are a mixed bag. Despite the slim design of the front seat backs, knee room is at a premium. It's OK for a few hours for kids, but after an hour, adults will protest. The same can be said for most of the cars in this class.
There are some unexpected and maybe even unnecessary features on the ISC, but that's what luxury is all about isn't it? For starters, the climate control system is designed for top-down motoring. The IS convertible's air conditioning system automatically adjusts for the outside temperature when the top is lowered, improving interior temperature consistency and comfort. Airflow volume adjusts to outside temperature and vehicle speed, while the temperature control adjusts to outside temperature, amount of sunlight and vehicle speed. For easy in and out of the rear seats, a one-touch walk-in button control that quickly and neatly folds and slides the front seats forward is another nice feature. The radio also automatically compensates for volume when the top is lowered.
Some other standard features include push button start, power tilt and telescope steering wheel and auto-dimming rear view mirror. The soft center console houses USB and minijack input, along with an accessory power outlet. There is also a Homelink system, electric lumbar support on both 10-way power seats, and remote foldable rear headrests. That's a great feature if you have no passengers, as it really increases your rear vision.
The standard sound system is excellent, and this IS is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and voice-activated operations. Redundant steering wheel controls for audio, phone and cruise controls put everything at your fingertips. Heated outside mirrors and puddle lamps plus an alarm system with engine immobilizer are standard issue, also. In addition, the Lexus comes with all the electronic safety systems you'd expect from a car in this price range.
The base IS 250C, with automatic transmission (a 5-speed manual is available) stickers for $40,610. The option packages quickly shoot up the price from there. You can choose the $2,465 Navigation System, or go for the Premium Audio/Navigation System that adds a 12-speaker 270-watt sound system with 6-disc in-dash CD/DVD player for $4,015. For $3,055 you can get the Luxury Package with two-tone or single color interior trim, perforated heated and ventilated front seats, a memory function, rain sensing wipers, auto-dimming outside mirrors, maple interior trim, Xenon Adaptive Front Lighting System, Adaptive Fog Lights, Illuminated door-sill scuff plates and a one-touch slide/fold/return button for rear seat access. You can also order 19-inch forged alloy wheels for $2,196, and a host of other performance bits. So you can really bump up the price of this vehicle to nearly 50-large. And if you feel the need for speed, and move up to the 3.5-liter, 306-hp V6, you'll need to add another $4,280 for that.
By comparison, the Audi A5 convertible starts at $42,000 but has a few more ponies under the hood, and a lot more torque. The BMW 328i convertible starts at $45,000, and it has a more powerful 3.0-liter 230-hp motor. And on both German cars, the options packages will spin up the price tag even quicker.
The Lexus IS 250 Convertible is an excellent all-around luxury open top car. It does everything well, from pampering two people comfortably in the cockpit, to providing more than adequate driving pleasure on twisting roads. It's easy on the eyes, and if you watch what option packages you check, it can be fairly easy on the checkbook.

By Spc. Sharla Lewis
1st Cavalry Division public affairs
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - In an oath, members of the military affirm their commitment to the U.S. Constitution, the president and ultimately, each other. By attesting their true faith and allegiance to those appointed over them, they enter a family of patriots and comrades-in-arms.
Like an initial enlistment into the armed forces, a re-enlistment ceremony binds a service member who is already fulfilling their contract to additional years of service. An appointed officer administers the oath of enlistment and often the soldier's family is present.
In a rare opportunity Oct. 5, Cpl. Shawn Revell and his wife Spc. Kayla Revell strengthened the bonds of their family and their commitment to the military at a mass re-enlistment ceremony together with others from 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq by Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, the deputy commanding general of operations for United States Forces-Iraq.
Shawn, an infantryman, is with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment and Kayla, a human intelligence collector is with Alpha Military Intelligence Company, 3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion. While Shawn is stationed at Contingency Operating Base Basrah, Kayla works at Contingency Operating Base Adder in southern Iraq, and both are scheduled to return home to the U.S. by year's end.
Both soldiers said re-enlisting was something they had planned to do as soon as they realized they would be deploying in 2011. Participating in the ceremony side by side, however, was beyond their realm of possibility until recently.
"This is one of the coolest experiences I've had in my military career," Shawn said. "To find out that there was a ceremony right at the time that we wanted to re-enlist was perfect."
At the ceremony, Shawn and Kayla stood next to each other in a formation of more than 100 soldiers, seven of which were from the Greywolf Brigade.
As Helmick delivered the oath of re-enlistment, the couple raised their right hand and recited in unison, "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…"
Other troopers also re-enlisted for their families, such as Sgt. Holly Hinton, a medic with Charlie Medical Company, 215th Brigade Support Battalion, who said she re-enlisted to be able to provide for her daughter.
Hinton has been with 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade since 2006 after a break in service and working multiple jobs to try to give her daughter the life she deserved. Now able to do that, Hinton said she planned to make the military a career and was happy to be able to have such a memorable re-enlistment ceremony.
"I'm a lifer," she said. "My friend Reyes re-enlisted in a (medical evacuation helicopter), so I had to find something cool to top that. When I heard about this, I jumped at the chance."
After the ceremony, the participants lined up with their certificates to meet the general and his right-hand man, Command Sgt. Maj. Earl Rice.
Seven Greywolf troopers reaffirmed their commitment to the U.S. that day. Since the ceremony, 156 Soldiers in 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade have re-enlisted, and the brigade expects 150 more by Christmas.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: my truck still has rough shifting problems even after transmission repair? on 1993 Ford F-250
my truck was experiencing transmission problems and rough shifting it is an automatic. had it so called repaired by a trans . shop and they told me it was electrical and that they dont repair that. I thought that when you have your trans. rebuilt that they also put upgrades in it and have to reprogram the "PCM" to the new upgrades and that entails correct shifting right ?????? this repair costed me $2800.00 and my truck is still broken. HELP!!
Upgrades usually are special order. They maybe trying to say they either cant figure it out or dont want to warranty their work. I would get a second opinion. If you are told that it is something that falls into a trany rebuild job you or your lawyer need to go back there for a little talk. gl
thank you for replying...I have done extensive research and have also consulted another mechanic. and your right I'm afraid this mess is going to turn into a legal matter...Thank You.

Have you tried installing java?
Like Dave said, it appears that you need Java, although I'm surprised
that you don't already have it since I think the MATLAB installer
should install it if your don't have it. But anyway, check on that.
If you have Windows, you can check the system tray (lower right corner
of your desktop), or the Control Panel.
You're getting a new window because you asked for one with the figure
() command. If you don't want an additional figure window, then don't
figure() and your image array ("data") will go into the current figure
if one already exists. If one doesn't already exist, a new one will
be automatically created even without you calling the figure()

Please advise: We are planning to go to London and Paris with two kids 5 and 8, from July 15 from Miami to London and flying back on the 22 July from Paris to Miami.
My concern is that: is it too much to do with the children in one week? We will spend two days traveling to and from.
We are thinking of staying in London for 4 days and in Paris for 2. My kids are very good travelers considering their age.
I am leaning towards staying entirely in London and renting a flat/apt. However my husband thinks we should go to Paris as well. I am worried that it might be too much for the children and we won't enjoy either city to its fullest.

London or Paris or both in 7 days
Please advise: We are planning to go to London and Paris with two kids 5 and 8, from July 15 from Miami to London and flying back on the 22 July from Paris to Miami.
Report Abuse
I tend to think of it as too short a time for two of the greatest places to go to. Either one for the entire 7 days would be fine. Unless you have to fly into London and then out of Paris - I'm with you - stay in London for the entire week. (Or drop London and fly in to and out of Paris). Either city is a great choice. I just think you will enjoy it more with more time at your disposal. And frankly - the kids won't care - unless you talk about Disneyland near Paris and then choose London..then they might.
Report Abuse
Agree with JoeCal!
Since you only have six mights on the ground, make the most of them by staying in one city.
For instance, choosing London, you could get a flat and spend maybe 4 -5 days exclusively exploring London with the tube, double decker bus tours and walking around, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Tower of London, at least one museum, are just a few. There is plenty to keep you occupied. Then you could have 1-2 days for day trips if you wanted; say Windsor Castle and Legoland nearby for the kids.
If you choose to add Paris you really will eat up most of one day with travel and getting settled in your new hotel/flat.
Report Abuse
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
Great point about losing a day in travel going to Paris.
I think we will take your advise and plan to be in London for a week. Since this is our first trip to London, I do have another question regarding flats.
We'd prefer to stay in SoHo, Mayfair, Bloombury (mainly very close to central London). Would anyone be kind enough to recommend nice hotels (4 star atleast) budget from 350-400 US dollars. Something that is modern, chic....I have looked at the Halkin but it is booked for our dates. Also is it possible to get flats in those areas as well? Any recommendations?
After looking on VRBO, I realize most properties are listed out further. ie Kensington. We want to stay in areas with lots of boutiques, restaurants, cafe's....
Report Abuse
With kids that age I would stay in one place. You will lose substantial sightseeing time because they will need time every day to play in a park or similar - just be kids. If you try a full adult sightseeing schedule you will have 2 very tired/cranky kids on your hands.
I would rent an apartment so you can do breakfasts and snacks in the apt at very low cost - and make sure it's near a decent playground.
Report Abuse
So, for hotels, would you want a quad room? In apartments would a one bedroom with a sofa bed in the living room suffice or would you want a 2-bedroom?
SoHo is not such a great area for kids. Whereas South Kensington is a very nice area, plenty of restaurants, not so many boutiques. For the latter you might like Sloane Square/Chelsea. Or Knightsbridge. All of these are very central. The touristy part of London is pretty spread out compared to other European cities. You will need to use public transportation.
Report Abuse
What about Mayfair? with Children. hyde park seems to close.
Report Abuse
South Kensington (where there are many apartments to rent) and Knightsbridge are just south of Hyde Park.
For apartments, look at www.slowtrav.com. At that site, individual apartments as well as agencies are reviewed. Find an agency that's well recommended, and look at their offerings. I prefer dealing through an agency vs. direct with an owner. Yes, you pay a little more but you get another level of guarantee. Plus you can charge the rental to a credit card, which is a further level of guarantee.
Report Abuse
If 350-400/night (205-235 GBP) is your budget, then you should have minimal problems finding suitable accommodations. But don't pigeon-hole yourself. London is the largest city in Western Europe and each of its neighborhoods contains restaurants and cafes.
South Kensington would work well and you'd be near the two train lines most useful for exploring tourist sites in Central London -- the Piccadilly Line (Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square/Covent Garden, British Museum, more) and the District/Circle line (Westminster, Trafalgar Sq area, the Tower, Monument [near St. Paul's]).
Report Abuse
I'm a little confused. In your first post you said you are flying into London and returning from Paris. Is that set? If so, it makes no sense NOT to take a advantage of a little of Paris. It certainly makes no sense to just do a trip to London and still travel to Paris just to fly home.
This argument is as old as "should I have the filet mignon or the lobster tail or the surf and turf which is some of both?" To each his own, and while I'll be the first to agree you could spend way over a week in either -- if your flight is out of Paris, then by all means go to Paris for your last two nights and get a taste of something different. The short train ride is even half the fun for the kids I would think and experiencing two cultures instead of one is hardly "too much" for the children in my book.
Or was that only an option and you can still book flying in and out of London?
Report Abuse
NeoPartick, thanks for your input. I admit that is a good argument but we got better rates for flying back from London. So we are planning on stating in London for 6 nights. Hopefully next trip will be to Paris
Mimar and BigRuss thanks you for your suggestions on Kensington. I will definitely look into that area as there are many rentals in that location. I was hesitating because one my friends said that Kensington was a bit too far from central to be staying with the kids.
By all means PLease recommend any places (flats and hotels) family friendly of course
Report Abuse
Ah good. I thought I was missing something because you seemed to sound in your OP that you were already booked to come back from Paris, but no one else seemed to mention that. Glad you weren't already booked in that case.

A huge cloud of smoke and flames billows from the burning Buncefield oil depot in Hemel Hempstead. Photograph: Harish Luther/AP
The force of the explosions this morning at the Buncefield oil depot in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, could be felt up to 40 miles away.
People living as far away as Surrey reported that they heard the explosions, which shot flames 200ft into the sky.
Homes and surrounding businesses suffered structural damage. Residents nearby said they were awoken by a "loud boom" as their houses "shook".
Police have said they are treating the blasts as an accident and there are no confirmed reports of serious casualties.

Federal Treasurer
Mr Swan says investment in education is a priority for federal Labor and Australia.
"As a country, we're kidding ourselves if we think we can stroll complacently into the Asian Century assuming we'll enjoy economic wealth without developing the skills we need to harness its opportunities," Mr Swan said in his weekly economic note on Sunday.
The Treasurer said the government's proposed Gonski school reforms were central to improving skills and education.
"We will put in place the savings to ensure it's a key part of this year's budget," he said.
The treasurer will hand down his sixth budget on May 14.
The Gonski review proposed an extra $6.5 billion spending in total by the commonwealth, states and territories for schools.
Mr Swan is yet to outline the spending cuts or areas where more money will be raised to pay for Gonski and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
He also lauded the latest economic growth data, which he said showed why Australia had one of the lowest jobless rates in the developed world.
Australia's economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the December quarter for an annual rate of 3.1 per cent, according to official data released last week.
Mr Swan said Australia's job market remained one of the most resilient among developed countries despite local business becoming circumspect in employing more workers.
"We know that ongoing global uncertainty, the sustained high dollar and changing consumer patterns have made some businesses more cautious in their hiring," he said.
The euro zone's unemployment rate rose to a record 11.9 per cent in January, while the US rate was 7.7 per cent last month.
Local jobs data will be released on Thursday.
The market forecast is for 10,000 jobs to be added in February while the unemployment rate is tipped to rise 0.1 percentage points to 5.5 per cent.
Mr Swan again attacked the opposition for its plans to roll back income tax cuts linked to the carbon tax if elected in September.
"Under the Liberals' changes, seven million Australians will have their taxes hiked up," he said in a statement.
"For a mum and dad earning $65,000 each, the Liberals' tax hike would mean their family would pay $600 more a year in income tax alone, while
The Treasurer said the government would introduce legislation in the next fortnight to provide more funding for the independent parliamentary budget office to cost the policies of all political parties.

How Well Do Desired Fertility Measures for Wives and Husbands Predict Subsequent Fertility?
The authors examine responses to two fertility preference questions -- regarding whether more children are wanted and desired total family size (compared to actual family size) -- that were asked of women and their husbands as part of the First Malaysian Family Life Survey fielded in 1976-77 and see how well these preferences (and the consistency between them) predict the women's subsequent fertility, as reported in the Second Malaysian Family Life Survey, fielded 12 years later. Women who said (and whose husbands said) in 1977 that they wanted more children were much more likely to have a birth than those who said they did not want more. If there was disagreement between spouses, the husband's preferences appear to play a stronger role in predicting the likelihood of a subsequent birth. The authors investigate how events during the 12-year period between the surveys, e.g., the death of a child, affect the relationship between fertility preferences and subsequent fertility outcomes.

Mineral Information and Small Miner Assistance
The Mineral Information and Small Miner Assistance Program is a repository of mine and mineral data gathered since the 1800s. We have totals on commodity production since the 1800s as well as individual mine production since 1901. (The individual property production records are only available with permission of the owner).
The database is organized by property and also includes bibliographies of previously published research. Although incomplete, it contains approximately 4,000 surface and underground maps and files on approximately 5,000 of 8,600 known properties. Many of the properties on federal lands have been assessed for environmental risk. Soon, this database will be available online.
During the field season (usually May through September) information on current projects is gathered, and surveys are conducted on inactive properties for the repository. Much of the data are used by large- and small-scale companies to make investment decisions for exploration and development properties. The Mining and Exploration Report, a statistical compilation on each active exploration and mining project, is generated from this information. Those data are commonly used by individuals to secure jobs, investors to make decisions, vendors to make contact for sales, the public for mining industry information, and by others for various uses.
Within this program, we answer questions about mining history, current and past mining technology, mineral potential, mining law and regulations, and property availability. In addition to gathering data in the field, we provide technical assistance and training for small-scale Montana mining operations. Experience has shown this proactive approach has reduced environmental impacts and increased financial stability for these small operations. Field time also is used to experiment with technology developed jointly during these visits by the mine operators and MBMG technical staff.

Calf ranches typically raise day-old Holstein calves up to several hundred pounds in preparation for entry into the feedlot. "The task is specialized and demanding with death loss being a constant threat," says Bob Glock, DVM, PhD, University of Arizona Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. "Environment/sanitation is critical. High death losses often trend directly with the weather."
Glock discusses some of the major challenges for calf ranches:
Most producers monitor passive transfer only sporadically to get an idea of the overall condition of calves from various suppliers but many try to design their system to keep calves alive even with minimal passive immunity. That involves dedication and attention to details such as nutrition, environment and a health program. Many producers simply can't alienate source dairies that aren't doing a perfect job, but rather try to work with them.
A frequently under-rated but essential need is a good relationship between the calf ranch and a veterinarian to initiate health planning including management, vaccine programs and treatment protocols rather than reflex reaction to high death loss. A regular program to monitor losses through necropsies, diagnostic workups when needed and records is a key to success. "The veterinarian and the nutrition expert can make the difference between success and failure as well as helping protect against inappropriate use of pharmaceutical products," Glock says.
Good nutrition is essential. The veterinarian needs to be able to serve as or work with a nutritional consultant to maintain good rather than cheap rations. Weak calves don't survive, especially when stressed. This is where least-cost may be most-expensive.
Glock offers these suggestions for diagnosing and monitoring health issues on calf ranches:
Consider some type of BVD PI monitoring, suggests Glock. One approach is to test a certain number of calves from each source dairy to see if there are PI calves. "We see PIs even from dairies with a good BVDV control program," he notes. Another approach is to monitor PI status of dead calves. If positives are found, one option is to handle incoming calves from affected sources differently with isolation. "Horizontal transmission is suspected to be very important in closely housed calves. BVDV PIs seem to frequently terminate as bacterial pneumeonias."
Otitis with head-tilt or droopy ears is common. The most common findings from ear swab (select ruptured drums?) are Mycoplasma bovis and Pasteurella multocida, Glock says. These can carry through and exacerbate during the feeding period. Once convinced it's probably not much benefit to do repeated cultures. Prevention is difficult.
Bacterial infections are frequently respiratory and the best way to monitor is through necropsies to determine whether lesions are respiratory or systemic. Mycoplasma bovis are frequently present. Their role is often uncertain but pretty much respiratory and linked with bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida or Mannheimia hemolytica. Cultures confirm the bacterial component and sensitivities may be helpful. Salmonella are frequently involved and may be respiratory as well as systemic.
Differentiate between Mycoplasma spp. "There are now specific PCR methods so talk to the lab to get these done," Glock says. "We no longer have to squint at colonies and try to guess. If it is not M. bovis it's difficult to take it seriously."
Dealing with Salmonella. These calves have frequently been over-exposed to antibiotics so try to sample less-treated calves. The likelihood of isolating the key pathogen (especially Salmonella spp.) is improved. Always do back-up histopathology to confirm or throw suspicion on the culture results.
"When Salmonella is involved, have the lab do serogrouping, Glock says. "Serotyping takes so long that you forget why you wanted it. If it's serogroup D and there are systemic lesions, it's almost certainly S. dublin." Differentiating the other serogroups is less meaningful but serogoup will suggest which of the more common serotypes may be involved such asS. typhimurium in group B.
When doing sensitivity testing, sample several animals and look for trends. "We can often look at Salmonella sensitivities and guess which antibiotics are being used/overused in the facility," he says.

The organization "Accuracy in Media" is, apparently, badly named. This article on the papal succession evidences a confluence of conspiracy theories so outrageous, it is more funny than threatening, until you realize that some people will read this nonsense and believe it. The racism is obvious too - it is a black president and the possibility of a black pope that is so threatening. I especially like the way they throw Benedict XVI under the bus as well. The next thing you know, Accuracy in Media will discover that Jesus himself was getting funding from George Soros and frolicking with known-lefties.

Published: May 10, 2010 at 9:10 PMIt really depends on how you define "winner." In terms of sheer quality of the shot (composition plus artistic expression), I'd have to give kudos to the half-unveiled race car pic. The way the background objects are nicely centered in the shot, plus the half-lifted tarp contrasting with the flame-red body of the car, gives an impression of anticipation, of much excitement to come.
The one of the teen in the coaster seat simply looks like it was overexposed, and the kid himself looks like he's stoned out of his mind.
As for the one of Rob Corddry (who I'd never heard of until today), the lighting and color are pretty good but the composition is horrendous. Corddry's expression is way too contrived (it looks like he's getting ready to toss his cookies). It also looks like they used a wide-angle lens, because the sea lion's head looks distorted way out of proportion to the rest of the body. If that's the best SeaWorld's staff shutterbug can turn out, I think s/he needs a vacation.
I wonder how hard and how long they had to scrub the plexiglass barrier before they got it clear enough to be nearly invisible?
Happy travels.
Published: May 10, 2010 at 9:29 PMThe winner is quite clearly Disneyland.
And, though off-topic, I have to admit that the more I stare at that picture of Justin Bieber, the more I realize they're right when they say the guy looks like a girl in addition to sounding like one. Absolutely terrifying.
Published: May 10, 2010 at 10:04 PMJustin Bieber is only around because of publicity, not talent. This is just feeding into him more than Magic Mountain. The Hot Tub movie is pretty much over, too.
That shot of the new Car is great, especially because most fans won't have access to a shot like that. In the midst of second by second updates through so many fan sites, it is nice to see something different and actually revealing - a great way to take advantage of their own publicity machine (since not much is easy to keep secret anymore, they have to hold on to what they can and can control their own timing. Also, it looks great compared to all of the Ferrari World shots that have been coming out this week (even though most of those had come out before, they are pumping up the publicity for that park as it comes closer to being open). Great timing, being let in on a previously unrevealed secret, and the car is even smiling!
Published: May 10, 2010 at 10:10 PMNo, Justin Bieber dosen't deserve such an awesome ride!!!
Published: May 11, 2010 at 2:22 AMDisneyland.
Published: May 11, 2010 at 5:52 AMI love the Car photo because it very closely mimics the original teaser poster for the movie. Unfortunately, I think the winner is Six Flags. No matter how you feel about the kid, Robert pretty much hit it on the head when he called him a "perpetual Twitter trending topic."
Published: May 11, 2010 at 7:17 AMI'll go with the Sea World pic because I see personality in the subjects. Even Clyde has a gleam in his eye. It looks like they are having fun and it translates through the lens, even though the shoot might have been more painstaking than it would appear. Good picture of half the car (it also has a smile), but composition aside, it doesn't interest me personally.
I wish Justin Bieber luck with growing up and with trying to advance himself in a few years. I hope he enjoys his fame and is getting paid, because once the little boy looks and high pitched voice goes away, so will the fame and the money. The pop star making machine will discard him like they've done to all the others, and the executives will count their money and then drop the next cash cow in the meat grinder. Here's to hoping for his sake that he comes out at least somewhat normal when it's all over. As far as his picture, I could care less. I'm not impressed by his music or the plastic fame, and I've seen a million camera phone pictures that look exactly like it
Published: May 11, 2010 at 1:35 PMI agree the Sea World one just has that gleam to it. Sea Lions are awesome and both he and the actor look like they are having fun. The other ones are too generic(although nice to see the prototype Cars vehicle).
Published: May 12, 2010 at 11:08 AMI like the one with Justine Bieber. I think that she is really cute. I can't wait to watch her fill out as she gets older.

Rays promote Price to Montgomery
First overall pick in 2007 Draft ready to join Biscuits
By Brittany Ghiroli / MLB.com | June 22, 2008 10:08 AM ET
The Rays' No. 1 pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, Price was promoted from Class A Advanced Vero Beach to Double-A Montgomery following the lefty's win against the St. Lucie Mets.
Prior to Sunday afternoon's game, the Rays had yet to make an official announcement, but Montgomery's Web site had an official press release on the move.
According to the Biscuits, Price will arrive in Montgomery on Sunday evening and is expected to join the team's roster early this week.
Price could start for the Biscuits as soon as Thursday, during Montgomery's six-game series in Mobile, Ala.
Drafted in June 2007, the 22-year-old signed a contract with the Rays on Aug. 15, 2007, worth up to $11.25 million with $8.5 million guaranteed.
After an impressive Spring Training, Price was delayed in beginning his professional career due to a left elbow strain. But the Vanderbilt alum didn't waste any time establishing himself at Vero Beach.
In his debut on May 22 he threw five shutout innings, allowing two hits and striking out four.
In six starts at Vero Beach, Price went 4-0 with a 1.82 ERA. He struck out 37 batters and walked just seven in 34 2/3 innings.

Fall Break T.R.I.P.S 2010 Turning Responsibility Into Powerful Service (T.R.I.P.S.) is a student-led program that encourages ECU students to engage in service while on fall or spring break. During fall break, the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center hosted multiple local service projects in which ten East Carolina University students participated. On Sunday, students assisted the ViQuest Center with their 10 year anniversary event. Students assisted with children's activities, inflatables, and miscellaneous needs associated with the event. On Monday, a small group of students volunteered with the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. They unloaded delivery trucks, assisted customers, cleaned, and moved donations. On the final day, a large group of students volunteered at the American Cancer Society McConnell-Raab Hope Lodge. Students assisted with grounds maintenance and cleaning. Overall, the group of students contributed to over 60 hours to service to the three organizations. If you are interested in participating in T.R.I.P.S. this spring, contact the VSLC for more information.
Holiday Service The countdown has begun! After the craziness of exams and the end of the semester, the holidays can sometimes induce a lull in students. However, the holidays are a great time to volunteer! You have the opportunity to work in your communities without the added stress of schoolwork. No matter where you go, volunteers are always needed! The holidays can be an incredibly hard time of year for the less fortunate. You can add cheer to the season! Some ideas include volunteering at your local assisted living facility, nursing home, food bank, community shelter, or other organization. Many organizations experience their greatest need during the holidays! For more ideas on how to get involved, visit serve.gov or idealist.org. These websites are great resources to help you find service opportunities wherever you are. Remember, there is need no matter what time of year it is. So this holiday season, spend your break doing something good for others.

Volunteer Spotlight
Michael Kratzer and Adam Denney
Mohandas Gandhi once said, "that service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake." This quote epitomizes the work of two students at East Carolina University: Michael Kratzer and Adam Denney. These two students volunteer a great deal of their time to help others, taking full advantage of their talents in their quest to help others. As two of four service learning associates, Kratzer and Denney help ECU students make the connection between what they learn in class and what they can do in the real world. Mike Kratzer is a service learning associate, a coordinator for the ECU READS program and a member of the student advisory board for the College of Human Ecology. After two years of primarily online classes at a community college, Kratzer realized he really wanted to be involved on a college campus. In the fall semester of 2009, he took a service learning class with Dr. Ballard here at ECU. It was then that he learned about what service learning can really be. He applied for, and was accepted as a service learning associate. Since then, Kratzer has been working with professors and their classes to make their service learning experience the best it can be. He says being a service learning associate (SLA) has "opened my eyes to poverty. I wanted to try and do something…" Adam Denney learned about the service learning associate program from Mike. After growing up together in New Jersey, they met up again on ECU's campus. Mike says he knew Adam would be great in this position. "He cares," Kratzer said of his friend. A senior special education major, Denney is in his first year as an SLA. He was excited about the chance to help others make the connections between college and life. Denney had never been in a service learning class before, but now understands the deep impact it can have. As an SLA, he has had the opportunity to get in front of large classes to lead reflections and discussions. His desire to encourage students to give back to the community drives him in his work. His advice to students? "If you are looking for something more, give yourself the chance to get involved. It is more than just experience" Kratzer and Denney show the friendships that can be built, or renewed, in service. You can often see these two walking the halls of the VSLC together, laughing on their way to a meeting. Their dedication brings home Kratzer's words, "if people would put as much concern into what they are doing in their community as what they are driving, we would all be better off." For more information about how to become a service learning associate, contact Jessica Gagne- Cloutier in the Volunteer and Service Learning office at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Little Willie Center
A Pirate's Guide to Service Page 3
Some people see a problem and say to themselves, "Wow, that needs to be different." Others see a problem and say "let's change it." The Arrington's are some of those people. The Little Willie Center is their answer to a problem they saw, and they didn't wait, they did what they could to solve it. In 1985, Marvin and Renee Arrington moved back to Greenville to start a restaurant. After opening, "The Raven," they began to see the deep problems that plagued the West Greenville community into which they had moved.
They soon began to notice children playing alone in the unsafe streets. One of these children was a boy whose nickname was "Little Wille." This short, street smart child made an impression on the Arringtons. He was invited to come eat and play in the restaurant after school. Soon, he began to bring his friends along, and the Little Willie Center was born. Officially begun in 1990, the Little Willie Center was organized to meet the needs of children coming home after school to an empty house. The Little Willie Center offers assistance with homework and provides food to these "latchkey" children. The center is located in West Greenville, and offers parents peace of mind while they are at work. Services are offered for free to the children enrolled in the program.
Children are bused to the center after school ends and are fed a full meal. Then, tutoring begins. All students receive help with their homework and other studies. The volunteers at the Little Willie Center teach the children about manners and other social skills that are often not taught in the school system. Respect is a big deal at the center. The children say please and thank you, and wait patiently in line behind others. Parents give back by volunteering at least two hours a week, and attending parenting and education classes. The volunteers at the center know every person who walks through the front door by name. Their work has made a difference in the lives of countless children and adults in Pitt County.
The Fairytale Boutique Every year high school students across the country don elegant dresses, tuxedos, high heels, and corsages to head to their prom. What is a tradition for many is not attainable for all. Some of these students are unable to attend prom because they cannot afford a dress. Students at East Carolina University are trying to change that. In 2008, The Fairytale Boutique was conceptualized as a way to reach out to students who would not be able to attend their proms due to financial concerns. New and gently used gowns, as well as other accessories are donated to the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center, then distributed at no cost to young women in need. The Fairytale Boutique is currently accepting donations for this year. Dresses, shoes and jewelry from 2007- present are accepted in all sizes. All donations are tax deductable. If you would like to make a donation, please contact Jessica Gagne-Cloutier at email@example.com, or drop your items off at the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center. Remember, you can make someone's dreams come true.
VSLC student staff members model dresses and accessories from the Fairytale Boutique.

Shams 1 power plant wins Solar Project of the Yearby John Bambridge on Dec 9, 2012
Qatar plans world's biggest solar plant - report
| Al Sadd to be Qatar's first solar-powered stadium
| Shams 1 solar plant to be complete by end of year
RELATED ARTICLES: Qatar plans world's biggest solar plant - report | Al Sadd to be Qatar's first solar-powered stadium | Shams 1 solar plant to be complete by end of year
Shams 1, a 100MW concentrated solar power plant in Abu Dhabi's Western Region, has won the Project of the Year Award from the Emirates Solar Industry Association (ESIA).
The Masdar project, which is being developed in collaboration Abengoa and Total, is the largest solar power plant in the MENA region.
Locatied in Madinat Zayed, 120km southwest of Abu Dhabi, the plant extends over an area of 2.5 km², with a solar field consisting of 258,048 parabolic mirrors.
"We are delighted that Shams 1 has received such a prestigious award," said Yousif Al Ali, general manager of Shams Power Company. "This demonstrates the leading role that Masdar plays in the region's renewable energy sector and a realisation of the vision that our wise leadership has for renewable energy in the UAE."
When it begins feeding power to the Abu Dhabi grid early next year, the plant can generate enough electricity to power 20,000 homes, and will offset 175,000 tonnes of C02.
Masdar also has several international projects around the world that are either completed or under construction:
- The London Array, UK, at 1GW is expected to be the world's largest offshore wind farm.
- The 20MW Gemasolar project, Spain, is a concentrated solar power plant that produces electricity 24 hours a day by means of a pioneering energy storage technology.
- Valle 1 & Valle 2, also in Spain, are concentrated solar power plants that also each produce 50MW.
- Masdar's Mauritania solar project will deliver 15MW – 10% of the nation's electricity capacity.
- A six megawatt, eight-turbine wind farm in the Seychelles will also supply 10-15% of Mahe Island's capacity.
Shams 1 will directly contribute to Abu Dhabi's goal of providing seven percent of its energy capacity through renewable sources by the year 2020.

Sir Mark and his men and culverin Carr and his men would defend her.
Then he signalled to the mate to fire the culverin of which he had charge.
"And one culverin three of their footy little ordnance," said another.
Most of the guns were probably of culverin length: 30- to 32-caliber.
Our culverin was in amongst us, loaded now to the muzzle, and it was not comfortable to know that it might go off at any time.
Like many gun names, the word "culverin" has a metaphorical meaning.
They had been obliged to abandon the culverin they had seized.
And when he loaded his rifle—a sort of culverin or wall-piece, which no one but himself knew how to manage—gracious powers!
"Captain culverin Carr," said Tom, striking the table with the haft of the knife.
Consider the feelings of the culverin footman at the other end!


text: Last night they tried and failed. I had stumbled from my bed towards the bathroom, when they made their move. It was well planned. Their timing was near perfect, but I was lucky. Patrick, the big dog, crossed the floor directly in front of me, forcing me to stutter step. A quarter second after, Maggie, the brains, ran through my legs forcing me to hop to avoid stepping on her. As I was hopping on one leg, Patrick turns around and brushes his entire body against my hopping leg. There is no other witness to this, but I swear to you, that I heard Maggie meow " Timber", as I fell. Luckily I was able to spread my arms out forcefully against the hallway walls and catch myself. I caught my breath and looked up in time to see them both staring at me from the hall closet doors. I looked direct into Maggie's eyes and asked " All this, because I moved and threw away all your laying cartons?" She meowed, turned and swished her tail at me, as she walked away.

I love Timbaland! I always have. But Shock Value really is amazing. With crazy hot songs like Give It To Me, my fave The Way I Are and Scream, this album is definitely worth it!
