For sure. We will win at least 11 games, and if we can beat the Eagles (who are overrated), yeah.

I wont make such a prediction until we go through the draft.
But, assuming we were to start the season with the team right now with no draft, we probably wouldnt have a chance. Even though our division wil probably suck, we'll still end up splitting with the Bears like always, possibly splitting or losing both to the Lions, and same with the Packers.
Culpepper has yet to prove he can carry the team down the stetch without Moss. Tice's play calling is atroucious at times. If he doesnt commit to the running most games, we will not finish these season even at 8-8, and Culpepper will have one of those 20 TD 25 INT seasons.
Now drafting Williams would have a dramatic effect on this team.

I stongly disagree. First do you remember the Lion game when Daunte called the offense together and they came from behind to win? Second, tice does NOT call the plays, remember the moss int against the seahawks and tice saying that linahan calls the plays and he does not override him. And he said that Loney will probably call the plays next year. Also, with the lack of running game. Before last year Linahan said that he wanted to run the ball close to 10% more of the time. That was the reason they did not run alot, not tice's fault. And that will probably not be the case, because Loney said that he would run teh ball more. Also the vikings will get back their lead blocker in Klinesauser, who was greatly missed (although wiggions was a great reciever, he is a poor blocker), and Rosenthal. I see no reason culpepper will have a 20 td 25 int type year, there are no signs that he will do it. Yes moss is gone, but in the games he was gone, culpepper throw less int's than the games he was in. Also, with the defense better, he will not have to, or feel he has to win the games for them, so he will not force has many passes.
Although it is early, i feel if the Vikings did not win 10 games, it would be a very disapointing year, unless they suffer tons of injuries (ie pepper)
Williams, Smoot, Harris, Taylor, Shaper, Cowart... the signs of a new divsion champion

they're a lock for my NFC pick. It really depends on how the draft goes, if we can get another good looking WR, and if the Eagles (or some AFC team) can do something to improve themselves.

you know what our weakest link is right now? coaching. with all these veterans coming in from different teams, the viking team (at least the defense) doesn't have its cohesiveness yet. they don't know who to rely on when.
coaches bring that together and our coaches are...?

Watch a House Explode on TV
A police officer answered a domestic dispute call in Southern New Hampshire. He was fatally shot when he arrived at the house, according to the New York Post.
About an hour later, the house burst into flames. The man who shot the police officer apparently died in the flames.
Officer Stephen Arkell was 48. Governor Maggie Hassan released a statement saying, "Like so many of our first responders do on a daily basis, Officer Arkell courageously put his life on the line to protect others, and in doing so, was tragically taken far too soon."
Michael Nolan was 47. He's the son of the homeowner.

Social history bridges that gap by teaching us the everyday details regular folks lived through. It's a study of how your North Dakota ancestors recovered from the Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888, or what foods were served at a Sunday dinner on the farm. Social history adds the flesh to genealogical charts, forms and data; it brings "real" history to life. You can begin delving into the details of your own forebears' daily lives by exploring 10 of our favorite social history websites.
Want to know what it was like to travel in early America? Read Alexander Hamilton's 1744 journal of his travels through the northeastern Colonies. Interested in 19th-century politics? Look for the 1861 broadside urging Massachusetts citizens to vote for Stephen A. Douglas for president.
You can search the entire site at once or drill down to search individual collections, a few of which we've singled out in this article.
You'll find yourself looking through a fascinating window to social history, sometimes dating back to Civil War and slavery days. For example, in the words of a former Missouri slaveowner: "Slaves in Clinton County very often ran away, but they didn't go far. The pad-a-rollers, men hired to hunt them in the woods at night soon brought them back. We had one man to run off. I was much frightened when they tied him up to lash him, but they never whipped him and he never ran away again."
You can search by keyword or browse by topic, county, time period, institution or media type. (Learn about the history of Georgia's capital city, Atlanta, in this issue's City Guide.)
It's fun to browse by a broad topic such as Culture and Society or Arts and Leisure; you can then drill down further using the search options within individual collections -- or search the whole collection.
Among the site's gems: images of fashions and Ellis Island immigrants, cigarette cards, landscape photography, floor plans of New York apartments and scenes of the city from the 1870s.
The site is laid out like a research room: Click the area you want to enter, such as Grave Art in New England, Probate or Times of Their Lives.
Material includes 17th-century popular songs, and 17th- and 18th-century French music. Perhaps your own Colonial ancestors would have raised their voices in singing "Our Forefather's Song" -- it's been traced back to 1643 New England.

Water Scope:
By Kate Jackson
1 Oct 2010
A friend's daughter came home from a field trip with a red cup with a hole in the bottom and saran wrap on the top. After seeing the pictures he took with this "water scope," I decided to give it a try using a clear cup to let in more light. I love the bubbles and ripples and reflections in bubbles so much I used it in the pool, the creek, even my bath-tub. I'm currently keeping my eyes peeled for a fish tank. Also the cup floats so it's great for resting my camera on. Awesome accessory for dirt cheap!

Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother's life. Such as, why did Dulcie Shelby leave her hometown so suddenly? And why did she vow never to return? But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew—a reclusive, real-life gentle giant—she realizes that mysteries aren't solved in Mullaby, they're a way of life: Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor bakes hope in the form of cakes.
Everyone in Mullaby adores Julia Winterson's cakes—which is a good thing, because Julia can't seem to stop baking them. She offers them to satisfy the town's sweet tooth but also in the hope of rekindling the love she fears might be lost forever. Flour, eggs, milk, and sugar . . . Baking is the only language the proud but vulnerable Julia has to communicate what is truly in her heart. But is it enough to call back to her those she's hurt in the past?
Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily's backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.
I love how realistic feeling Allen makes her books but there is one or two fantastic elements. A wallpaper that changes to suit your mood and strange lights that race across the trees. This is a wonderful book to read over the summer and you can feel the southern heat steaming off of the page. There are great characters and I am left wanting more. That is the quality of book I am always longing to find. Allen also has a way of describing food that makes your mouth water. I really want to try the recipes Allen put in her book, especially the hummingbird cake.
This book is targeted for adults but I think that it could be great for teens who are looking to jump into a more adult book. One of the main characters is seventeen and the other main character harkens back to the mistakes she made in high school. There is talk of cutting in this book and one of the main characters talks about in detail. I would recommend this book to anyone because I love Allen's writing but be careful if people might have a history in cutting and do not want to be reminded of the feelings.

Really lovely stay at the YHA Bristol..room and bathroom were very clean, lockers in the room, staff were friendly and helpful when I asked them a question. The worst part is that there's no free wifi.

Had a decent stay at this hostel. The price was good, and included breakfast, which was good but there's no free wifi, which as a traveller I think is vital. There were lockers in the room, as well as a bathroom. The location is awesome! Very close to Paddington underground station. In my opinion, not the friendliest staff...didn't really make me feel welcome, but it wouldn't be a problem if you were travelling with people.

Profile and About Alex Ardenti - motion / stills
Ardenti Films
TV commercial production and photography
With 22 years experience as a top fitness photographer Alex founded the commercial production company Ardenti Films, a natural evolution of his still photography and a perfect platform to release his creativity and lifetime passion for filmmaking. The boutique production company specializes for the most part in creating TV commercials and high-end video content for the health & fitness, sports and nutraceutical industries.
Ardenti Films hit the ground running bringing aboard several advertising clients that were already using Alex's talents for print campaigns.
Who we are
A tight group of passionate filmmakers, motion graphic artists, editors and designers that simply love what we do.
We are at our happiest in the trenches of the set or playing with our digital paraphernalia in post production.
What we do
Practically everything and anything you can think of that has to do with motion. Broadcast 30 second spots, long form commercials, web series, workout DVDs, short films, music videos and documentaries.
We understand the current landscape of advertising and the needs of our clients. We deliver your message. We make your brand look cool because it probably is cool… we just want to be the vehicle that shows your coolness to the world.
What we don't do
Those videos with actors reading from those teleprompter thingies that look like they're cut out and pasted into a stock photo background. We are not against them and they may have a use for certain companies but we wouldn't have fun making them. That and weddings.
How we work
It starts with an email or phone call. You may have an idea for a commercial that you want us to bid on or you may feel that your company absolutely needs to have great video so you can step into this century already… either way we are easy to talk to and won't sell you on anything. We're not the best salespeople. We're busy creating cool stuff.
You may already have a budget in mind and we can tell you what we are realistically capable of doing for you with that budget. We may suggest an appropriate concept for a spot or you may want us to create your whole campaign ideology. We're not an ad agency per se but we sure do get asked to act like one, which is fine with us.
Maybe some great still images are the way to go for now while your company grows. Maybe you need both stills and video to sell your product or services. We can save you a bundle by creating great commercials and great photography on the same project. Send us an email. We won't add you to a list. We don't have lists.
Our production workflow
The Simplified Version:
-We discuss your brand's message, chat about target audiences, deicide what platforms you want to launch your content on and we come up with a few possible ideas for a commercial or video.
-A budget is agreed upon and we sign a short form contract.
-Dates are locked, talent is booked and caffeine begins being administered intravenously. We're on our way.
-The day of the shoot is the fun part. As exhausted as we may look at the end of the day we love what we do and we know that we're heading back to basecamp with some really great footage to play with.
-You are welcome to come to the set but keep in mind that it's not absolutley necessary. We deal with a large number of foreign companies that aren't able to make the trip to Los Angeles. They send us their product if it's needed in the shoot and we deliver the commercial without them being behind the scenes. Comunication is key in these cases. Lots of Skype calls.
-We keep the crew small, quick and svelte. We rarely have more than 12 crew members on the set.
Post Production
-We like to start that immediately after we wrap. Files are backed up in several places before we even leave the set to insure there is no loss.
-Usually we can get a nice first draft within days of the shoot date. Rush jobs are part of this business and we've learned to embrace them. 6 days is average for a solid first cut with original music composed and graphics added.
-Upon viewing your first cut we talk about what may be needed to perfect the spot. Most of the time our first cuts are 99% perfect and we like showing clients a product that is as close to being finished as possible.
Where we want to be
We want to keep growing and create great things we can enjoy watching on a screen. IPhone, computer or IMAX it doesn't really matter to us. Each project we take on we need to fall in love with it, just a little bit. We make it ours. If it's also ours we will embrace it, take care of it, groom it and be proud to show it.
We want to remain the David fighting against the Goliaths. It's more fun to us than watching your back all the time.
One thing we would like to stress: Ardenti Films has a passion and unique work ethic for the commercial film industry.
We absolutely love what we do and clients tell us that it's so apparent when we are on the set doing our thing.
We are not the biggest production company in Los Angeles but we deliver a top quality product for a competitive price. We run an 'attitude-free' and 'stress-free' set simply because we do our homework. We go the extra mile not because the client pays us but because our name is on the project and we only want to create quality content.
Email us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (818) 517 5617 to talk about any ideas you may have or just for a quick question you need an answer to. Oh and we have great snacks on the set… not always healthy but always yummy. We make our shoots our high carb day.
Alex Ardenti
Originally from Rome, Italy, Alex Ardenti moved to Wollongong, Australia at the age of three. While his parents were busy opening the family's first restaurant, little Alex was busy taking pictures of the world around him with an instamatic camera he received for his seventh birthday. As Alex puts it "... the world just looked more interesting and exciting through that viewfinder." His dad's super 8mm movie camera soon became his next toy to play with.
Upon the Ardenti family's return to Italy, Alex by now a teenager, began lifting weights and by seventeen had become the country's youngest Mr. Italy. He followed that victory by winning the European Junior Bodybuilding Championships at nineteen. It was his success as a young bodybuilder that led him to believe that his dreams were attainable and that anything was possible if he dedicated himself to it and worked hard enough at it.
Fascinated by the California lifestyle he read about in magazines and saw on TV Alex made the move to Los Angeles in the late '80s. Photography and filmmaking had taken a back seat to his workouts during his competitive years in Italy but re-emerged once he came in contact with Hollywood. He felt it was his true passion and calling all along.
He also stepped in front of the camera at this stage in his life and supplemented his photography business by appearing in dozens of national commercials as an actor along with several TV show appearances. In 2005 he directed and produced a short film that was selected for the Los Angeles Short Film Festival in Hollywood.
Today Alex Ardenti collaborates with over 35 international publications and has produced countless advertising campaigns in the last 20 years. Considered by many to be one of the most creative and artistic forces in the business, Alex in recent years has been gravitating towards directing TV commercials and feature films with several projects being developed at the moment.
Alex lives in Los Angeles with his wife Stephanie, three baby boys Ashton, August and Atticus. He visits family and friends regularly in Italy and Australia.

Canberra, Australia (SPX) Mar 30, 2009
Two new greenhouse gases are accumulating in the atmosphere, according to an international research team led by scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the US and CSIRO scientist, Dr Paul Fraser, from the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research.
Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) are powerful greenhouse gases that have recently been discovered to be growing quickly in the global background atmosphere.
These gases are used in industrial processes, partly as alternatives to other harmful greenhouse and ozone depleting gases.
NF3 is used in the electronics industry - often as a replacement for perfluorocarbons (PFCs) - particularly in the manufacture of liquid-crystal flat-panel screens. SO2F2 is used as a replacement for methyl bromide, largely in structural fumigation applications.
The new measurements of SO2F2 appear in a paper co-authored by Dr Fraser in the 12 March 2009 edition of the Journal of Geophysical Research.
"Information about the abundance of these gases in the atmosphere, their growth rates, lifetimes, and emissions is just emerging," Dr Fraser says.
"Currently the level of these gases in the atmosphere is low, but their concentration is growing. In addition, these gases have significant global-warming potential."
The first atmospheric observations of these gases from data collected around the world - particularly at Trinidad Head and La Jolla, California, and Cape Grim, Tasmania - will be presented at the GREENHOUSE 2009 conference.
"This research is likely to affect the revision of the Kyoto Protocol later this year," Dr Fraser says. "New emissions targets for the existing 'basket' of gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, PFCs, hydrofluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride) are likely, as well as inclusion of the new greenhouse gases. A number of new signatories from the developed and developing world are also included in the revised Protocol."
The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research is a partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.

Inflation popped higher in February after months of muted price gains, driven by increased costs for gasoline, cars and groceries.
The country's consumer price index rose 1.2 per cent in February from a year earlier, quickening from a 0.5-per-cent increase in January, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. It also climbed 1.2 per cent from a month earlier, the fastest monthly pace of inflation since 1991.
Inflation had slowed in prior months, in line with other signs of slumping economic growth, prompting analysts and investors to pare back expectations for when the Bank of Canada will raise interest rates. Despite the one-month pickup, the broad picture of soft prices remains.
"This doesn't look to represent the start of a new trend of rising inflation, but does show that the very mild readings at the start of the year were an aberration," noted Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns.
Transportation costs led the annual increase, advancing 2 per cent, spurred by higher costs at the pump, and as rebates disappeared at car dealerships. Food prices accelerated to 1.9 per cent after a 1.1-per-cent gain in January as consumers paid more for meat and fresh fruit. The cost of fuel oil also rose.
Despite the recent gain, consumer-price increases remain at the tepid end of the Bank of Canada's 1-to-3-per-cent inflation target, and that's not likely to change in the coming year.
"The sub-par growth recorded in the second half of 2012 introduced more slack into the economy, resulting in downward pressure..on prices," noted RBC economists. It's likely "that readings of sub-2 per cent will persist until the latter part of 2014."
The monthly gain in inflation is the largest since January, 1991, when the goods-and-services tax was implemented in Canada.
Among provinces, Newfoundland tallied the biggest increase in consumer prices, while the smallest gains were in Alberta and British Columbia.
Here are some other examples of what prices are up, and what's down from a year earlier:
- Canned fish: 8.2 per cent
- Breakfast cereal: 4.5 per cent
- Apples: 7.7 per cent
- Lettuce: 21.2 per cent
- Water: 6.7 per cent
- Financial services: 4.2 per cent
- Gasoline: 3.9 per cent
- Fats and oils: –2.6 per cent
- Fresh or frozen fish: –4.6 per cent
- Mortgage interest costs: –4.2 per cent
- Appliances: –2.6 per cent
- Children's clothing: –6.5 per cent

Charlie Sheen Wants a Custody Fight With Denise Richards Now, Too
During this whole tiger blood debacle, Denise Richards has stayed relatively silent and above the fray. Which years ago was never the case, except after the past few months, we, and especially me, owe her an apology because now there's a much greater understanding of the insanity she foolishly married and had kids with. On that note, because his current custody battle with Brooke Mueller is going so well, Charlie Sheen wants to fight Denise in court, too, because she won't allow their daughters to appear in the crazed interviews he's giving with hookers sitting next to him. So clearly she's some sort of losing Earth-bitch who deserves to die, is of course what Charlie's about to say. TMZ reports:
We're told Charlie has gone on an attack campaign against Denise in the last two weeks, accusing her of being an awful mother, a loser, and wishing her a slow death.
We're told Charlie is particularly enraged at Denise because yesterday he asked her to bring the kids over to his home to shoot a segment for "Dateline" today. We're told Denise refused to bring the kids over, and Charlie went ballistic.
As some more background to this whole mess, apparently last week just before Charlie went off the deep end, Denise also refused to bring the girls over for a family portrait involving Charlie, his two sons and the goddesses. This caused him to tailspin into the coke-fueled manic episode/temper tantrum that's re-rocketed him to fame as our nation's superstar mental patient of the week:
We're told Denise believes Brooke Mueller's allegation that on the way to the Bahamas, Charlie told everyone he "violently" hated Denise and was going to have her hair shaved off.
We're told the day before Charlie allegedly made that comment, he had asked Denise to sit for a photo shoot with him, their kids, Brooke and her kids, along with the goddesses — and she refused.
We're told Charlie went ballistic at her, sending her vicious text messages, so she believes Charlie was in a state of mind to make the head-shaving comment.
In the meantime, Denise is adamant about not letting her daughters near Charlie and is requesting a change to the custody agreement on the grounds that he's dangerous. So that makes two sets of women who just won the child support lottery all over again and makes it even more likely that Charlie will "win" this weekend by shoving his head inside a porn star's vagina and suffocating to death. And before you say that's anatomically impossible, you should take a look at these girls first. The option's so far on the table it engulfed it.

Since clashes between opposition protesters and large numbers of troops and police resulted in a state of emergency in Georgia, community radios established with IREX Europe support have interrupted their broadcasts. All rallies in the country are banned and only the Public Broadcaster can broadcast news.
Broadcasting of the community radios established under the Making Waves project has been temporarily stopped. Lia Chakhunashvili, the Making Waves project leader based in Tbilisi has asked the two community radios, one in Marneuli and one in Ninotsminda to stop broadcasting through loudspeakers.
Chakunashvili says: "Even though legally they are not even radios – they do not have licenses and it is not clear if the Presidential decree covers them or not – but as a safety measure, I asked them to restrain from broadcasting news and other informational programs until things become clearer."
The two community radios do not have an official license to broadcast and as a result have been broadcasting on loudspeakers in their local communities whilst waiting for their long-standing broadcasting licenses to be issued. Because people need to gather on the streets around the loudspeakers to listen to them there is concern that as the right to gather is restricted under the state of emergency, this too might cause problems for the radios and for the public.
Both the Marneuli and Ninotsminda teams will continue training volunteers, but without conducting fieldwork or assignments on the streets.
Broadcasting on the loudspeakers will resume as soon as the state of emergency is lifted, which is currently scheduled for the 16th of November.
European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)
British Embassy in Tbilisi
Open Society Georgia Foundation
Eurasia Foundation in Georgia
The piloting of community radio in Georgia is being undertaken through Making Waves: A Community Radio Project for Georgia supported by the European Union with co-funding from the UK Global Conflict Prevention Pool through the British Embassy in Tbilisi, Open Society Georgia Foundation and the Eurasia Foundation. IREX Europe joins in implementing the project through a consortium led by the BBC World Service Trust and including Studio Re, a Georgian nonprofit organization producing TV programming. The project works as well in southern Georgia's mainly Azeri-speaking enclave of Marneuli.

Surf now, apocalypse later: Yohji Yamamoto's surf punks mark their territory in Hawaiian prints and tech sportswear
- PhotographyMarie-Amélie Tondu
- TextBelle Jones
Initial reaction:
A cult gang of avant-garde surfers stalk a sun-bleached beachside shack in black-on-black layers spliced with Hawaiian florals.
How it was worn:
Both boys and girls wore sportswear-luxe hybrids of sheer shirts and jogging bottoms. Opening full black looks eventually came broken up with silver metallics, while zipped jackets revealed a teasing layer of bright Hawaiian print. Palm tree prints and graphic fluro stripes also featured adding a rave-on-vacation vibe to the avant-garde tailoring.
Surf culture:
'Surf now, apocalypse later' were the words stencilled onto the floor at the show as Yohji Yamamoto moved away from the superheroes of last season towards surf culture this season. For this season he played with furistic sportswear with bright colours and prints. The pre soundtrack to the show by Maui Chimes set the scene with soft Hawaiian steel guitar sounds playing adding to the surf vibe.
The soundtrack to Y-3 SS15:
Last season Y-3 gave us supeheros in manga print and neon stripe. See it below:

Murrysville swears in its newest police officer
Dave Coleman always thought Murrysville would be a great place to raise a family. As the municipality's newest police officer, Coleman will get to see that firsthand.
"The area has always appealed to me," said Coleman, 25, of Forest Hills. "I've been familiar with it since I was a little kid. It's an area I've always liked, and (it) has a very well-respected police department."
Coleman joined the department Monday, following service as a full-time officer in Brentwood. A former officer in East Pittsburgh, Braddock Hills and North Versailles, Coleman said Murrysville will be the largest community he has worked in. With 34 square miles to cover, it's a challenge he looks forward to.
"It will definitely be different," Coleman said. "Luckily, I'm pretty familiar with the area, other than a few side streets here and there. I'll just have to carry a map and street directory."
Coleman likely will be joined by another new officers later this year. Chief Thomas Seefeld said the department expects several retirements during 2013. Seefeld said Coleman will be a good fit for the municipality.
"Officer Coleman is a great addition to the police department," Seefeld said. "We welcome him and expect that he'll be an asset to the department and serve the community well."
Coleman got his start in law enforcement after working in loss prevention at the Sears along Route 22 in Wilkins. While working with the local police department, he found out exactly what the job entailed and what it meant to be a police officer.
"I realized that's what I wanted to do as a career," Coleman said. "I'm open to anything, for the most part. I like to be diverse — I'm not afraid to do traffic work or investigations."
Coleman plans to eventually call Murrysville home. He said he and his wife, Meghan, plan to move to Westmoreland County ultimately and raise their family, hopefully in Murrysville. The couple has a 3-year-old daughter and are expecting a second daughter, due in June.
He said he looks forward to getting to know the community and bringing his strengths as a police officer to the community.
"This is a job I really enjoy," Coleman said. "I'm looking forward to working in this community and with the residents."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
pools, location, food, almost everything staff doesn't know much, was charged more for first 2 nights basic room then booked a new reservation for half price and given suite. all down to who's on duty I think. loved the place but feel that was ripped off first part of stay.
This hotel has by far the best pool in San Juan del Sur, it has a gorgeous hillside location and view of the town and coast. The villas are gorgeous and brand new with all the modern amenities that you won't normally find in Nicaragua.
The facility is located about 10 minutes away from downtown San Juan Del Sur. Super quiet and clean. The unit has a kitchen with leaves with option to prepare some of your own meals. The restaurant for the development has a sophisticated menu and is open for three meals. We enjoyed our meals from breakfast through dinner. The staff was excellent: We didn't have a laptop, so they allowed access to their PC and helped us book a hotel for next part of our trip.
IM stay at this Hotels for 3 nights , Is to far from the beach , Not very clean , the food at the restaurant is Ok , the service from 1 to 5 is just 2 , special at the front desk
I came down for a weekend special and ended up staying an extra night. The villas are really spacious and have great modern kitchens and the pool is great. We had cocktails in the pool watching a gorgeous sunset each night. I'll be back...
Location is probably about the only thing you'll get here The pool was super small and dirty to say the least. Full of debris not to mention it was not filtered. the villas are extremely hot during the day due to the design. The hotel is not well kept, broken pathways to the villas, broken walls all around, holes on the roof of several areas including main areas like the bar, reception, etc. this hotel is 2 years old. The bathrooms do not discharge correctly, we had to add a bucket of water as we pressed the handle to make it work. the shower handle was broken and had to use another villa to shower. The water pressure is nonexistent, you had to get real close to the wall just to get some water. The quality of the food was ok. We only tried the breakfast but other plates look good from where we were. The bar service was all around deficiente and unpolite. Managements was good and gracious but clueless as to what was happening.
Staff was great. Helped us in every way possible. Value was great ! I would recommend this hotel to anyone
Location location location, friendly day time staff No hot water, crabby night staff, showed me a decent room and insisted I stay in another after paying my bill.

Mayhem # 1305366
About MeHelloooo MM,
As a native of Pennsylvania, I moved to New York in hopes of breaking into the fashion industry alongside furthering my education by attending college. As a 1st-generation American, I am extremely proud to represent my Jamaican heritage and am eager to see a greater number of Caribbean people rise to success! Besides wanting to evolve into attaining a supermodel status, a goal of mine is to eventually help Jamaica advance by helping to omit the stereotypes that currently surrounds the country. Additionally, through the creation of a professional organization, a goal of mine is to serve the youth across the world by improving their self esteem, educational resources, and health.
As the only child in my family to earn a collegiate education, I am a firm believer of maximizing one's growth by always doing as much as possible at all times. Because of this, while attending Pace University, I immersed myself within the community by becoming a resident assistant, the president of a campus-wide organization (Students Of Caribbean Awareness), a record holder in track & field, a mentor to underprivileged children within the Westchester community, while still finding time to earn my Bachelor of Arts in English & Communications with a minor in Psychology and modeling on the side.
I have proven myself to be a diligent, natural born leader with a hunger for ultimate success. "Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe your were meant to be." This is my life's motto because God has blessed me with the COURAGE, the WILL, and the DETERMINATION to achieve GREATNESS! ♥

Jesse Helms, you're grounded! That's the goal of the North Carolina PAC Mothers Against Jesse in Congress (MAJIC). The group of mostly sixtysomething mothers and grandmothers, which includes conservatives offended by Helms' stand against AIDS research and their gay children, produced a harsh TV ad to chastise him for "distortions, half-truths and intolerance." Not words Helms wants to hear. MAJIC believes he has ensured that most North Carolinians won't hear them either. Of eight stations approached by MAJIC, only three agreed to run the ad. Others begged off on "content" or said they didn't have time. "We know that Helms has...

Lazio charcuterie tradition is set mainly the processing of meat and whole lot less on real sausages. Important are the hams that have characteristics of compactness and flavor similar to Tuscany and Umbria, and processing of whole pieces of the animal, which differs from that of similar regions. Capocolli good, therefore, better and above all that bacon fat is essential for a real pasta carbonara.
Capocollo or loin is one of the most traditional products of the Provinces of Rome, Rieti, Viterbo, and Frosinone. It is often mentioned in treatise dedicated to wine and gastronomy, and can be found in the local norcinerie.

LG's Optimus 4X HD has only just been announced ahead of MWC 2012 next week and already Telefonino have got their mitts on a handset. Luckily for us, they're not ones to keep a good thing to themselves so they posted this vid up on YouTube.
First up, that 4.7in 1280x720 screen looks sharp and attractive as the reviewer skips through pages of apps.
The LG Optimus 4X HD's skinned version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich also looks impressive. You get new LG-specific widgets and a stylish circular unlock that's different enough from the standard ICS screen and Apple's slide to unlock but still looks quick and simple.
Browsing is also speedy, thanks to the Optimus 4X HD's 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad-core processor. But it's not all good news – as one eagle-eyed YouTube commenter pointed out that in the three minute video, the handset's battery dropped by as many percentage points. Surely that can't be right?
Back to MWC 2012 rolling coverage.

No. There's a better way.
The real purposes of college are grimy and mean: to subsidize with tax dollars a well-heeled army of pompous, lazy oafs, to create the illusion of learning for hapless young minds who seek the credentialing of wisdom and knowledge, and -- most crucially -- to trick American taxpayers into funding the indoctrination of millions of brainwashed cadres who provide indispensable shock troops for the toxin of leftism.
And . . .
Why in the world do state governments not reform academia by making self-guided, cheap, validated, and politically neutral education the goal? As a start, except for specialized courses of study in a few areas, there is no longer any need for colleges at all.
And . . .
Our information society is bursting at the seams with different ways to learn, and often these can teach in ways outside the capabilities of college professors (or, more likely, their bored and sullen graduate assistants). Why on earth are we paying for the modern equivalent of quill pens or buggy whips with tax dollars? If the goal is for people to learn, then government should be supporting learning, not some hoary and moldy version of same.
The goal should be to learn. "Educating" today includes, indoctrinating. Time to end it. We now have the technology to do so. Homeschoolers have been leading the way in education reform for several decades. Welcome to the party. More here. The honest and informed among us know that Big Education has become, largely, a massive indoctrination camp.Let's end it.

Seattle's Quiet Theatre troupe present Bean: The Musical Fruit
Quiet, one of Seattle's newest independent theatre groups, has presented a wide range of original and classic plays with a twist including William Shakespear's The Taming of the Shrew done in the style of a Mad Men episode and most recently, the original Warrior's Heart. Now, they are poised and ready to embark on their first musical for a younger crowd.
Running from November 10th through the 19th, Bean: The Musical Fruit (pun intended), is an original family musical that explores what it means to belong, even when you are different from others around you. It takes place in the perfectly sculpted Patch. Every harvest, Mayor Tom A. Toe divides the Patch responsibilities based on two groups: fruits and vegetables. However, this year the crop has run into a snag as the newest member of the community, Bean, appears to be neither vegetable nor fruit. Facing rejection, Bean and her best friend Cel set off on a journey for answers from the reclusive and mysterious Nutty that lives in the Orchard.
Bean will be presented at 7:00 p.m. November 10-12 and 17-19 at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in West Seattle. A 2:00 p.m. matinee will also be shown on November 12 and 19. Doors open one half hour before each performance. Come early to meet Pa Tatoe, Eva Cado, Bana, Mayor Tom A. Toe, Chiogga Beet, Nutty, Berry, Wando, Bolero, Mr. Big, Bean and a basketful of other veggies. Characters will be available for pictures as well.
Youngstown Cultural Arts Center is located at 4408 Delridge Way SW in Seattle, 98106. $5 discount tickets are available for students (present ID at Will Call) and children age 12 and under. You can order tickets online at BrownPaperTickets. For more information, visit the Quiet website or call 928-853-7400.

A glorious experimental surf film, shot entirely on Super16
People can be wary of experimental cinema, whether that's for a perceived oblique message or a sense of isolation and confusion. That won't be the case with Tin Ojeda's "Expencive Porno Movie," because at its core, it's some of what the director does best: capturing exquisite surf scenes that balance beauty and hyper-energy. The 45 minute film oscillates between waves, wonder and surrealist montage. Shot on Super16, the film has a glorious vintage edge but really the name says it best—this is surf porn. With Ojeda's cinematic mastery and the production efforts of celebrated lifestyle shop Saturdays Surf NYC, the excitement abounds.
Film is so beautiful. I just love grain, color, latitude. The sound of the camera when I am shooting it.
Argentinian-born Ojeda is a tenured surfer in addition to being a successful filmmaker. "I've been working with film for a very long time," he shares with CH. "I love the format of 16, I absolutely do not like digital. Everything is digital these days. Film is so beautiful. I just love grain, color, latitude. The sound of the camera when I am shooting it." He lands that desired appearance despite admitting that part of the wonders in working with film are the variance in different stock and the potential for the unexpected.
As for expectations regarding his experimental piece, Ojeda says, "The trailer is pretty much kind of how the film goes. It's not really a story. There's this kind of like art, surfing, art whirl." Artistic scenes buffer the interspace between shots on the waves. Though most concisely, Ojeda observes, "It's an art experimental project with surfing—with little stories within each scene."
Despite being so evocative, the name actually directly represents Ojeda's feelings of the film. "'Expencive,' because the movie was really, really expensive. Shooting was expensive. It's impossible to make a film movie just out of your pocket," he says. "The porno [mention] is the very exciting part; the surfing. People relate it to sexual and pornographic activity. I see it relating." Ojeda combines all that with what he refers to as funky pornographic music and inspiration from the '70s blaxsploitation, grindhouse era of movies.
Saturdays Surf NYC, who's been encouraging artistic endeavors for some time, came on board when Ojeda was seeking out partners. "They helped me with whatever I needed. They're executive producers. I've known those guys for a long time," he says. "They're the raddest guys ever and I love what they're doing with surfing and lifestyle in NYC."
"Expencive Porno Movie" premieres at Manhattan's Village East Cinema on Wednesday 23 July 2014. You can purchase tickets online for $10. It will later be shown in Montauk during the month of August, and doing the festival circuit.

Almost anywhere in the world, if you ask people who's leading the way in the fight against climate change, they'll point to California. Tuesday, Governor Schwarzenegger will try to leverage that reputation when he speaks to the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen. But here at home, the applause for the California Global Warming Solutions Act isn't exactly unanimous.

Is Europe on board for a new trade deal with the U.S.?
American and European officials meet February 2 in Brussels for another round of negotiations aimed at creating a free trade agreement between the European Union and the United States. The proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) aims to remove most tariffs affecting the movement of goods across the Atlantic, reduce non-tariff regulatory barriers to transatlantic commerce and to spur more U.S.-EU cross-border investment.
But it has sparked criticism, with both EU and U.S. opponents claiming that TTIP may give too much power to corporations, especially foreign investors, and that it could undermine food safety and environmental standards, lowering U.S. chemical regulations and forcing Europeans to consume genetically-modified American foods and chlorinated chickens.
Overall, recent surveys in both the U.S. and the 28-member EU suggest there is widespread support for a deeper transatlantic trade and investment relationship in most EU countries and among publics representing most of the European population, economy and exports to the U.S.
More than half (53%) of the American public believes deeper trade and business ties with the EU will be a good thing for their country, according to a March 2014 Pew Research Center survey.
A Eurobarometer survey from fall 2014, conducted by TNS at the request of the European Commission, found that a majority (58%) of Europeans back a free trade and investment agreement between the EU and the U.S. A quarter are opposed to such a deal. Support for such an agreement is shared by half or more of people in 25 EU Member States. The three countries with particularly low support are Austria (39% favor vs. 53% oppose), Germany (39% vs. 41%) and Luxembourg (40% vs. 43%).
There are eight countries with very strong support, where more than seven-in-ten people back a transatlantic free trade agreement, including the Netherlands (74%), Poland (73%), Denmark (71%) and Ireland (71%). Moreover, there is majority support in countries that together account for 69% of the EU population, 61% of the EU Gross Domestic Product and 59% of EU merchandise exports to the U.S.
However, such support does not necessarily mean clear sailing for TTIP on either side of the Atlantic. A spring 2014 Pew Research poll found a majority of Italians (59%) and a plurality of the French (49%) think trade destroys jobs. And 52% of Italians, 49% of the Greeks and 47% of the French say it lowers wages. Likewise, 50% of Americans share concerns about job losses and 45% are worried trade undermines wages.

But now it has become absolutely clear that many sober-minded people in Europe are against the TTIP agreement with the USA as they are greatly concerned about its consequences for their countries in the near future
The opposition against TTIP alliance is growing every day because an overwhelming majority of Europeans realize that this agreement is dangerous for democracy, our environment, consumer protection and other important standards of European way of life. The European Citizens' Initiative run by the Stop TTIP alliance, consisting of 340 organizations from all over Europe has already collected more than 1,500,000 signatures to stop TTIP process. And, I think, the European Commission must take these results seriously and immediately stop negotiations on TTIP.
I would like to know wether in the questionaire people have been asked for "More Transatlantic trade and invesment partnership" or if they agreed with "The Transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP)". The reason i'm asking is because they will, as you are most likely aware of, trigger different responses in light of people not knowing what the TTIP agreement would emply.
For example, if i were asked wether i am pro-trade agreements in general (which is what the first question emplies), yes… if i am asked specifically about the TTIP agreement, which happens to have the convenient name of being masked as a general thing… I would have asked to specify what this particular agreement is all about and give you a well funded answer.
I know for a fact that in the Netherlands we have not heard about such an agreement and therefor i highly doubt the figure of 74% could be generalized as a figure of the public whom agrees with THE actual agreement and what it emplies. I believe these answers are based on a general idea of more partnership… Therefor the conclusions can never be used as a pro-TTIP specific campaign.
So please enlighten my views please and might i also ask how the researched population represents the entire population.
Asking whether Europeans support "a deeper transatlantic trade and investment relationship" is like asking whether Americans support motherhood and apple pie. In other words, it is so vague as to be meaningless.
Asking whether Europeans would support "a free trade and investment agreement between the US and the EU" which was the Eurobarometer question, is also meaningless without the details.
If Europeans were to be asked specifically about things like the investor state dispute provision, and "enhanced regulatory cooperation" you may get a very different answer.
Over 1,300,000 Europeans so far have signed a European Citizens' Initiative opposing TTIP outright. An EU consultation on TTIP received 150,000 responses the majority of which are negative.
The overriding issue is that people want their governments to be able to regulate in the public interest without the interference of multinational corporations. This is exactly what TTIP will obstruct.
The devil is always in the details, which the negotiators have gone to great lengths to keep secret. Don't be fooled by these polls. We aren't.
The positive views of the populations in many of the European countries are based on the
belief that the title "free trade agreement" tells, what TTIP does incorporate.
If they would understand that the real behind would better be described by the title
"agreement to allow the international companies and finance trusts to act, without
regarding national governments and national laws of the individual countries and
without beeing endangered by national justice" – then , I believe so, would more
than 50% of all Europeans be against such agreement.
But their governments and their media tell them only about enhanced "free trade
options" and this sounds good. But it's not the truth about the contents.
Unhappily many political people have false beliefs about what TTIP really means.
We Europeans can only hope that things will stay as they are now between EU and the
USA and Canada. If one of those treaties come to validity, we will loose values and
social qualities, as they "hamper" the profits of the "Very Big".

I just checked the Marriage Tag with all 10+ roles. I tried to disable
the Groom and Bride but get error message that I cannot as it is in use.
AFAIK I do not have any Marriage Tag using Groom or Bride role.
How do I find if I have used it the Groom or Bride role somewhere and
where it is so I can change to P?

U.N. Team Accuses Syria of Crimes Against Humanity
Posted on Feb 23, 2012
It's about time. A U.N. panel has concluded that members of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime are guilty of "gross human rights violations"—including the torture and killing of civilians—amounting to crimes against humanity. The group did not release the names of the officials accused in the report.
Meanwhile, two Western journalists—Marie Colvin of London's Sunday Times and French photographer Rémi Ochlik—were killed in Homs on Wednesday during a 19th day of bombardment by Assad's military. Their deaths brought the number of journalists killed in the region in the last four months to eight, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Experts suspect officials may have targeted their makeshift media center by tracing satellite signals. —ARK

text: I did my 1st treatment today on my lower abdomen did two treatment, one hour on each side. (Total of 2 hours) I'm on the heavier side 5'5 weighing 205. I didn't do this procedure to try to lose weight at all. After 3 C-section my lower abdomen just doesn't seem to go away even when I was thinner. They call it "Mother's Apron". It's fat that always have me in a depress mood because I can look decent in a pair of jeans or yoga pants but there's these two fat lumps So I was introduced to this device at work. Figured why not give it try. The procedure itself was tolerable so far. A little burning sensation the first 15 mins then it just goes numb. I was done with the procedure at 4pm it's now 9pm and so far I feel ok. A little bloated and a cramping feeling. But nothing major as of yet. Hoping this is a good start of my coolsculpting journey. Will post more as I go. Crossing my fingers I don't experience the same pain that have read here.

Something that's been around a hundred years is usually worth your attention, whether it's a family recipe or a romantic admirer who won't stop playing his harpsichord under your window. Taste a tradition almost as old as love itself with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $11 for $20 worth of handmade sausages
- $22 for two Groupons, each good for $20 worth of handmade sausages (a $40 value)
Groupon vouchers are valid for Westminster Hot Dog's handmade sausages, specialty sausages, and sides. They are not valid for items listed on the hot dog menu.
Westminster Hot Dog
Every morning, cooks at Westminster Hot Dog grind and link a fresh batch of handmade sausages with the help of the eatery's signature recipes. In the case of their Polish Sausage, they work from a family recipe that stretches back 100 years. This juicy, all-pork variety comes topped in spicy brown mustard, grilled onions, and a shredded pile of sharp Wisconsin cheddar. Other options branch out into some more adventurous flavor territories. Chunks of real apple mix with ground chicken in the Apple Sage sausage, and a fiery Bacon Jalapeño sausage pairs with house made jalapeño chipotle mayo. Of course, Westminster Hot Dog's name would be a misnomer if their cooks didn't also cook a fair share of Chicago Red Hots. They can serve these hot dogs Chicago-style or covered in a house made beef chili.
Westminster Hot Dog's culinary creativity comes through in every bite, and unlike the porcelain statues of ancient greek philosophers, their sausage experts are willing to share secrets with others. They host regular sausage-making classes, in which students learn to create two different varieties of encased meats.

This article in the Province reports on the British Columbia government's attempts to increase the forfeiture of assets connected with crime. Asset forfeiture refers to the process by which the government endeavours to confiscate property which it can prove has been obtained by, or used in, criminal activity. The governing statute in Ontario is called the Civil Remedies Act, which came into force in 2002 and was the first such law of its type in Canada.
Providing an additional means to undercut criminal profit motives, government will generally pursue related assets following a criminal conviction. Unlike the criminal standard of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, however, forfeiture only requires that the government prove the asset was, more likely than not ("balance of probabilities"), used in or obtained through crime. A 2007 report by Ontario's Attorney General provides an interesting history of civil forfeiture, both within and outside Canada.
It's argued in support of asset forfeiture that because civil proceedings require a lower standard of proof to achieve a result (better than 50-50), confiscating property could occur in a greater share of cases and thus have greater efficacy as a threat against criminality. But because civil forfeiture usually follows a criminal conviction, the approach is more of a supplementary tool, as opposed to an alternative measure.
While asset forfeiture legislation is designed to primarily target organized crime, it is also being utilized to target less serious criminal behaviour, including reckless driving offences. The Province story reports on a 2008 Ferrari Scuderia seized after it was involved in a street race up Mount Seymour, which nearly hit a mother and her children.
Provincial governments have taken to touting the potential power of asset forfeiture, including coordinated inter-provincial schemes, in the fight against crime. As B.C.'s Minister of Public Safety, Shirley Bond, stated in a press release: "B.C. helped pioneer civil forfeiture in Canada, and we look forward to working with other provinces to improve this important crime-fighting tool. Working together, we can better target the profit incentive behind crime and use those proceeds to make our communities safer."
To this point, however, civil forfeiture has barely dented criminal business in Canada. The BC government, despite its public stunting, seized just $15.8 million in all of 2010. As a Simon Fraser criminologist, Professor David MacAlister, said in the Province piece, this is but a drop in the bucket of revenues generated by criminal enterprise in B.C.: "I would think you would want to see that figure in the hundreds of millions to make a dent on crime groups."
The confiscation of the aforementioned Ferrari exemplifies some of the complexities surrounding civil forfeiture, showing why it is often less lucrative than might be expected. While the vehicle was sold to a dealer for $235K, half of that money went to the family of a co-owner who was not in the vehicle at the time of the offence. The province then received just 20 percent of the total sale price, because the offender owner owed the bank 30 percent on the purchase price of the car. In the end, the province recovered under $50K for its efforts.
Attempts have been made to challenge the constitutionality of civil forfeiture laws as going beyond the scope of provincial law-making power, arguing that they infringe on the federal government's criminal law-making domain. These attempts have failed, and provincial governments will certainly continue to chase assets which they believe they may be able to seize. The British Columbia Civil Liberties Association is set to challenge the constitutionality of changes to that province's forfeiture regime introduced under its Civil Forfeiture Amendment Act. The new scheme allows appointed directors to turn property over to the province if they "have reason to believe" the property was obtained through or used in crime, removing the judicial decision-making normally central to due process.
Effectively, asset forfeiture amounts to a heavy tax on criminality. But as the use of this tool expands, problems will undoubtedly be revealed. The B.C. government has gone after motorcycles which were speeding in order to attend a funeral, and after the house of one gardener who grew marijuana in addition to numerous other plants. Civil forfeiture threatens to be employed in situations where the connection between the crime and the property is tenuous, disproportionate (meaning the asset is used only occasionally or in small part for the commission of crime), or where the state wants to get back at individuals it isn't able to convict in a criminal court, etc., etc., etc.
